Seven 11 Blog Hop ~ 3 Seconds, Time for Love book 6

Good Morning! The Seven 11 Blog Hop is a monthly feature, where participating authors share seven lines from their WIP on the 11th of the month.

This month, I'm offering a little tease from 3 Seconds, book 6 in the Time for Love series, which releases on Aug 25, 2015. This is Brendan's story, and can be added to your TBR on Goodreads.

*This is a rough draft*

           She was average height, with dark, possibly red, hair, which hung long and thick over her creamy white skin. It was hard to tell when the lights on the stage were so bright, and the dance floor so dark… Who the fuck cared what color it was anyway. It was lush and beautiful, and begged to be wrapped around my hands.

Her body was thick… sexy, thick… all ass, tits and legs. The way she moved screamed confidence. Even from my vantage point, I could tell she wasn’t one of the normal girls that came to our shows… the groupies… the young, hot chicks in short dresses, who were perfectly made up. This chick was one hundred percent real, and comfortable in her own skin. 

      3 Seconds is available for preorder Exclusively on iBooks, at a special preorder price of .99 cents!

Cover Reveal of Deceive by Raine Thomas

Release Date: July 24, 2015

Synopsis

When the elders imprisoned Metis, they took every precaution to protect the Estilorian plane against her evil.

It wasn’t enough.

Now she’s escaped, and no one is safe. Fueled by hatred, she wastes no time imposing vengeance on those who captured her. She knows the surest way to destroy their lives is by taking what they love most, and she begins with a child named Eden.

Years later, Eden remembers none of her former life. She serves her “Master,” unaware of the family still searching for her. But as her eighteenth birthday approaches, memories begin to surface, and she questions her circumstances for the first time.

Eden’s confusion mounts when she’s joined by Connor, a handsome Elphresti male who reveals things that shatter her reality. They’ll end up on the run, knowing they can trust only each other. After all, Metis will stop at nothing to get them back, and she thrives on her ability to deceive.

New Covers for The Land of Kaldalangra Series by Kristi Strong

It started out as one book, expanded to tell the "ever after", and then began to bring in the next generation. The Land of Kaldalangra has taken many twists and turns since it began with the publishing of The Lady of Steinbrekka back in 2012, and that now includes a full make-over!

When Kristi Strong started writing The Lady of Steinbrekka, she never realized that it would become a series, and the same happened with Heart of Kylassame, and Soul of Asimina. About the time Kristi started working on the fourth book (hopefully to be out in 2016 or 2017) she realized that this wasn't going to end any time soon, and it was time for it to look like a series. 
Kristi had such a great time working with Donna Dull of Sharp Designs (the same cover artist who did Finding Keepers) and Donna really did a great job of making the covers feel like a series, but still keeping pieces of the originals that Kristi loved so much. It will also be much easier now when Kristi Strong releases the next couple of books  (not for a little while though) to make them continue with the beautiful covers.

Presenting, the new look for The Land of Kaldalangra series!

These will be available for purchase at UtopYAcon in Nashville June 18th - 21st 2015, and are also available on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com

Cover Reveal ~ An Inconvenient Dare by Bethany Lopez

Cover Reveal ~ An Inconvenient Dare

by Bethany Lopez

I'm so excited to share the cover for AN INCONVENIENT DARE with you all. When I was asked to write this novella to be included in Carly Phillips' Dare to Love Kindle World, I was honored, excited, and a little unsure. I'd never written Fan Fiction, and wasn't certain what to do.

After a lot of research, and reading the novels in the Dare to Love series, as well as the novella's in the Dare to Love Kindle World, I was inspired and AN INCONVENIENT DARE was written...

I'm excited to share this fun and sexy story with you!

Blurb:

Vanessa has been so busy working her way up the corporate ladder that she's forgotten all about sex over the past two years. When her       best friend dares her to pick up a sexy stranger with panty-dropping dimples, she takes the dare and approaches Enrique. Sensing Vanessa's uncertainty, Enrique gives her full control in the bedroom…until he doesn't.

What started as an inconvenient dare turns into more than Vanessa ever expected, but when she learns the secret Enrique's been keeping, will she be able to forgive him, or will she forgo her chance at happiness?
