Book Review – How to Kill a Rock Star by Tiffanie DeBartolo

July 29, 2011 By Maryse 85 Comments

How to Kill a Rock Star
Quick note – before we get started, I just wanted to say that I LOVED THIS BOOK. 5 star for me. You’ll see why I needed to make this clear…

Once upon a time (yesterday) I read a book. It enticed me from the very start. I was drawn in from the first few moments. I thought to myself…

“Self, isn’t this exactly what we’ve been looking for? An intelligent, thought provoking view into the lives of two people, seemingly fated for each other. Aren’t we having fun? Look at that silly smile on your face, Self. You’re so smug with your brand new shiny find. You know your readers are gonna love this, don’t you?” read more

Stupid Book Is Making Me Cry!

December 2, 2009 By Maryse 5 Comments

Damn Stephenie Meyer and her “The Host“!!! I can’t believe I’m crying again over a book (and one of hers, again, no less!)

Oh the shame…my husband was wondering why I was taking so long in the bathroom, and really, how long can I actually hide in there? I had to come out, and face the real world all puffy face and sniffling, where no amount of cold water could wash away the evidence.

What, do you think I’m actually giving away aΒ spoiler? Fear not. The only spoiler I can guarantee is that you will cry. I don’t even know how it ends, since I can’t even reach the end yet, ’cause I’m sobbing too hard to be able to read anything! read more

LIVE!!! KRISTEN PROBY MAFIA ROMANCE ALERT!!

β€œβ€¦Nadia Tarenkov has several things stacked against her: she’s a woman, and she’s not the eldest child in her family. But it doesn’t matter. She has her sights set on ruling the syndicate, and she always gets what she wants.

#amazonaffiliate #CommissionsEarned #bookrelease #mafiaromance

When the heir to one of the States’ most powerful crime families comes knocking, Nadia sees it for the gift it is. He thinks he has her fooled, but she’s smarter, more cunning, and always two steps ahead. She’ll beat the gorgeous mobster at his own game, and secure her place in the fold...”

LIVE!!!! Touted as today’s Romeo & Juliet and the inspiration of the Netflix series β€œSummertime” and OMG it sounds incredible.

β€œβ€¦It begins with a chance meeting at a traffic light, one that draws a young woman’s attention to the stranger on a motorbike. In that one moment, the fates of Babi Gervasi and Step Mancini are altered.

#amazonaffiliate #CommissionsEarned #bookrelease #starcrossedlovers

Babi, poised on the brink of a predictable future, will risk everything to be with Step. Step, running from his past, will find the one thing missing from his life.

Sharing days on the streets of Rome and nights under a blanket of stars, they belong in each other’s arms...”

LIVE!!! Famous reviewer but she’s reclusive and nobody knows who she really is… and now he's her fake boyfriend!! πŸ˜€

β€œβ€¦Everyone knows Miz Poppy, the vibrant reviewer whose commentary brightens the New Orleans nightlife. But no one knows Hollyn Tate, the real face behind the media star…or the anxiety that keeps her isolated.

#amazonaffiliate #CommissionsEarned #bookrelease #fakerelationship

All her life, Hollyn’s tried to hide her true self behind an online faΓ§ade, but when her boss tells her she needs to reveal the truth to the world or lose her job, she’s forced to rely on an unexpected source to help face her fears.

Enter Jasper Deares: actor, newly minted fake boyfriend, and way, way out of her league…”

L.B. Dunbar's latest IS LIVE!! OLDER CHARACTERS!! In their 40s!! I think she's pregnant after a one night stand... πŸ˜‰

β€œβ€¦Recently separated and newly unemployed, Scarlett Russell is at a crossroads. With no other plan than visiting a friend in Vermont, the last thing she expects is a hunky, silver fox offering to buy her a drink.

#amazonaffiliate #CommissionsEarned #bookrelease #onenightstandpregnancy

Even less expected is when she raises that offer to β€œtake me to bed, cowboy.” She just wants one night to forget everything gone wrong. Turns out once won’t be nearly enough...”
