Michelle Mankin’s "The Right Man" Signed Paperback Giveaway and Excerpt!

By 8 Comments

I was so excited to reveal the cover of this gorgeous book, and the premise of The Right Man is SO up my alley (he’s a famous rock star, and she’s a prostitute). OH WOW I LOVE unconventional love stories!! You know this one’s gonna bring on the tumultuous angst and social issues (don’t even get me started on the paparazzi…).

Sounds like a modern-day fairy tale (Cinderella anyone). My favorite of them all! P.S. Can I just say how in LOVE I am with the graphics? So dreamy and beautiful, I just want to immerse myself in their world.
And today, the author is giving you a peek into the story via an excerpt and a chance to win a signed copy!

Ready for the excerpt?

Jewel
“You look hot.” My roommate clattered toward me at a precarious pace in her skyscraper heels.
“Thanks, Cam.” I stamped a hand to my hip and posed for her as the bus door closed behind me, and she stopped and twirled to show me her backless dress. Her long black hair swished the exposed skin above her ass. “You’re not so bad yourself.”
“Digging the cartoon-character-slash-schoolgirl vibe.” Her dark red lipstick framed an approving smile.
“Thought it might sell well with the older guys on this side of town.”
“Sick bastards acting out their underage-girl fantasies. You’re probably right.” She unwrapped a piece of gum, split it, popped half in her mouth, and offered me the other.
“Appreciate it,” I said as I took it.
“You’re late.” She narrowed her olive-green eyes at me. “You stop to take a client on the way over?”
“Nah.” I shook my head. “Just another run-in with Wanda.”
“Bitch.”
“Yeah.” I agreed readily, my empty stomach twisting. “You made your half of the rent yet?”
“Nope.” She shook her head. Glossy ebony hair spilled over her delicate shoulders.
“But I thought you had most of it saved already.”
“Had most of it.” She slowly blinked her pretty eyes at me.
“What do you mean, had?” My stomach didn’t just twist, it knotted.
“I gave it to Lori.”
“Oh no.” I squeezed my eyes closed for a second, but there was no shutting out the sh!tty reality.
“I had to.” My roomie donned a pleading expression. “She was sick. She had the shakes and was puking her guts out.”
“She’s a heroin addict, Cam, and needs to go to rehab. She’ll just use that money for another fix.”
Bright pink neon lights advertising a triple-X show blasted my gaze. A reminder, not that I needed one, that the harsh world we lived in couldn’t be remedied with kindness.
“You don’t have your part either?” she asked.
I shook my head.
“We’re f*cked.” Frowning, she touched my arm. “I’m sorry, Jewel.”
“It’s okay.” Kindness might not change much, but I couldn’t blame Cam for it.
I covered her fingers with mine. Even through the worn cotton of my jacket, I could tell her skin was freezing cold.
“Two softies is what we are.” I gave her a warm smile. “I probably would’ve done the same thing. What are the odds we’d end up rooming together, huh?”
“You regret moving in with me?” Her crimson lips trembled uncertainly.
“No. And anyway, it was your apartment to begin with. Lucky for me, you took me in. I had no job. Barely any money after my boyfriend screwed me over. You took a chance on me. Rescued me.” I squeezed her hand and frowned. “You’re freezing.”
I removed her fingers, unzipped my jacket, and shrugged out of it. Goose bumps erupted on my exposed flesh, and there was a lot of it, more than Cam revealed in her slinky slip. A guy in a passing car let out a piercing whistle and gave me a leering look, and then he was gone.
“Put this on,” I said.
“I’m okay. It’s seventy degrees outside. I’m hardly freezing.”
“It’s damp. There’s a chill in the air. Take it.” I shook the jacket at her. “I was just going to tie it around my waist, but it messes with my look.”
“All right.” She frowned at me, but put it on.
“You make any money tonight?”
I held my breath for her answer as we moved into our usual position by the streetlight closest to the curb. Best to flaunt our attributes in the light while we could. The longer we kept on making our living like this, the sooner we would wind up falling back into the shadows to hide the toll it took on us.
“Fifty bucks.”
“That’s something. Good for you.”
“One blow job.” Her brow creased. “That’s hardly rent.”
“It’s a start.” I bit down on my plump, often-abused bottom lip. “Maybe we can convince Wanda to let us pay what we owe in installments.”
“Maybe,” she said, but we both knew there was zero chance. No excuses. No exceptions. Wanda was a total hard-ass.
“Hey.” Cam lifted her chin to point at a sleek sports car idling at the curb. “Would you look at that.”
“What?” I swiveled to glance in the same direction.
“It’s a Porsche 911 GT2 RS.”
“I know what kind of car it is.”
She raised a disbelieving brow.
“Okay. No, I didn’t. You’re the car expert, Camaro Montepulciano.”
“Not an expert. Not like my dad.”
“Yeah,” I said softly. “But you have nearly every make, model, and spec memorized like he does.”
A love for all things automotive was his one and only legacy to her. After she’d lost her job as a cashier in the auto parts store and her father discovered what she’d taken up as a second career, he completely shut her out. Yet she religiously read Car and Driver magazine every morning as though it were a devotional, just on the off chance that he might one day change his mind and welcome her back.
“Special silver-metallic finish,” she said almost reverently as she drank in the sight of the expensive car. “Rear-wheel drive. Six cylinders. Three-point-eight-liter twin-turbo engine. Seven hundred horsepower. That baby can do zero to sixty in two point seven seconds.”
“Sounds super sexy.” I snorted, not as impressed by cars. “So, go get him.”
“Nah.” She shook her head. “You look way hotter than I do.”
“Not true, but all right. I’ll go over and take a shot, if you’re sure. Though I better move fast, since I’ve probably only got two-point-something seconds to snag him if he stomps on the gas.” I straightened my shoulders.
She shook her head at me as I took my first step. “Work your approach faster, roomie. He just put his blinker on. He’s gonna get away. And that’s $293,000 worth of sports car, before options.”
In other words, if I played it right, I might make rent.

Elle Kennedy – Briar U Series Reading Order

By 38 Comments

SQUEEE!!!! I just LOVE this author, and can’t get enough of her “Off Campus” series (I devoured and 5-star loved them) and this is the spinoff! 😀 YAY US!!! We’re already two books in and a third up for preorder!

Brandi: I love this series. The Deal us still my ultimate fav but; i think that’s because it started the amazing series and spinoff

Samantha: Omg i am so freaking excited 🙂 i loved the chase & when Summer Moved into the house i was smiling non-stop 🙂

About book #1:

Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there’s no logical reason why I’m so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don’t usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I’m flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn’t help that he’s buddy-buddy with my brother.

And that his best friend has a crush on me.

And that I just moved in with them.

Oh, did I not mention we’re roommates?

I suppose it doesn’t matter. Fitzy has made it clear he’s not interested in me, even though the sparks between us are liable to burn our house down. I’m not the kind of girl who chases after a man, though, and I’m not about to start.

I’ve got my hands full dealing with a new school, a sleazy professor, and an uncertain future. So if my sexy brooding roomie wises up and realizes what he’s missing?

He knows where to find me.

Dakota Willink – Cadence Duet Reading Order + 7 Fun Facts + a giveaway!!

By 9 Comments

<— THE DUET CONCLUSION JUST WENT LIVE TODAY!!! Oh how I LOVE evening book surprises and I have a brand new duet that’s right up our alley (and as of today… it’s now complete!!).

Book #2, Cadence Defined (Cadence Duet Book 2), just released today, and to celebrate, the author is sponsoring today’s newsletter, and having a giveaway right here on the blog. Plus a little introspection into the duet (7 facts!!), to tease us and give us an inside look. 😀 P.S. The duet is in audiobook format, too!

Seven Fun facts about these books:

1. The Cadence story was only supposed to be one book, but I can’t write a short book to save my life and decided to split it into two!

2. In Cadence Untouched, there is a brief reference to ham and apple butter sandwiches. A reader thought that sounded really good, so she looked up a recipe. Since then, a few people in my reader group have been swapping recipes for it! Personally, I’ve never tried it – but according to Google, it’s a Virginia favorite!

3. Many have said, “Be careful what you say to an author. It could end up in a book.” Well…throughout both books, the braided hairstyle Cadence wears is frequently mentioned. My best friend is a blond who always wears braids. Her fiancé once said something to me about her that I found incredibly romantic. It stuck with me, so I incorporated it into something Fitz does at the end of Cadence Defined. Unfortunately, I can’t say what it is exactly without giving a spoiler – sorry!

4. When I was in grade school, I was obsessed with Chinese origami fortune tellers and mixed tapes. It was really fun to incorporate them into Cadence Untouched!

5. I love to travel and I’m really big on researching my settings. Cadence Untouched takes place in Virginia at a fictitious music camp called Camp Riley. While I didn’t go to Virginia, I did take a day trip to Chautauqua Institution so I could get a feel for how I wanted to detail Camp Riley. I also went to Washington D.C. just so I could “make the same run” Cadence and Fitz did in Cadence Defined.

6. Cadence wrote and illustrated a children’s book called And I Smile. My daughter inspired me to make the children’s book a real thing! A portion of the proceeds from the Cadence books and And I Smile will go to charity. See https://www.dakotawillink.com/dakota-gives-back.html for more info.

7. Music is a huge inspiration for me and I incorporate it into all of my books. I had the idea for Cadence in my head, but I wasn’t sure how I wanted to tackle it. Then, in September of 2017, I went to a U2 concert. During one particular song, they gave tribute to women. They had such a powerful message and something in brain just clicked. I began writing the very next day. In case you’re interested, I have playlists for every single song referenced in my books on Spotify. If you don’t have Spotify, you can check them out here: https://www.dakotawillink.com/playlists.html

About book #1:

Cadence Riley didn’t have time for guys—no matter how potent their smiles were. She knew better than to fall for someone like Fitz Quinn, the spoiled bad boy son of a wealthy politician. But the second he spoke to her, she knew she was in over her head. He was a gorgeous trouble maker with a cocky attitude. Her heart warned her, but she didn’t listen. There was something protective and good beneath the bad boy exterior that made her insides flutter.

Before she knew it, she fell hard and fast.

Fitz wasn’t prepared to meet a girl like Cadence. She was shy and innocent—and nothing like the girls who usually flocked his doorstep. How could he resist her mile-long blond hair and emerald eyes? He knew he shouldn’t want her. His father already had other plans for him and a relationship with her could never go beyond the summer. He thought their stolen kisses by the lake were only supposed to be a summer fling. Falling for her shouldn’t have happened. But it did.

Now the clock is counting down until Fitz has to return to the life that awaits him in Washington D.C. As September draws closer, how will they survive the end of everything they’ve come to love?
