BOOK TOUR - Irresistible Refrain by Michelle Mankin - New Adult

Book Info-

Title-Irresistible Refrain

Series- Tempest Series # 1

By-Michelle Mankin

Expected Publication Date-October 8th, 2013

Genre-New Adult

Blurb-

Two years ago everything changed for the remaining members of the Seattle rock band Tempest.

Two years is a long time.

Too long to keep on remembering.

Not nearly long enough to forget.

In trouble with nowhere else to go songstress Lace Lowell seeks refuge with the band during their stop in New York City. It's a risky move for her because they are both there, two impossibly good looking men whose lives are inseparably entwined with hers. One who bruised her heart and one who smashed it into pieces.

Warren “War” Jinkins, the mercurial lead singer of Tempest, has always had a thing for Lace. But then again so does his best friend and band mate.

Bryan “Bullet” Jackson, the sinfully handsome tat-sleeved lead guitarist, has a bad boy reputation befitting his nickname. For the past two years Bullet’s had a rule with the groupies: one time, never twice, leave ‘em satisfied, but always leave ‘em.

Two guys, one woman, and a host of dark secrets all together within the tight confines of a tour bus as the group travels cross country.

Can the past be forgotten and buried?

Will friendships prevail?

Or will the three of them succumb to seductive impulses too addictive to resist?

** Irresistible Refrain is a gritty rock and roll tale intended for mature readers seventeen and up. Contains sexual situations, strong language, and drug use. **

About the Author-

Michelle Mankin is a young/new adult romance writer as well as a self-proclaimed giant…inside her own mind.

For many years, she toiled in the insurance industry as an underwriter. Somehow, the boredom didn’t kill her, and the hours of looking at facts and figures provided ample time for her mind to wander.

Love Evolution, Love Revolution, and the latest novel, Love Resolution are rock ‘n roll romances. The first is based on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, the second on Much Ado About Nothing, and the third on The Tempest. The first three books in the Black Cat Records series combine the plot underpinnings of the famous playwright with the drama, excitement, and the indisputable sexiness of the rock ‘n roll industry.

When she is not putting her daydreams down on paper, you can find Michelle traveling the world with her family. Sometimes for real and sometimes just for pretend as she takes the children to school and back.

COVER REVEAL -- Jellybean Kisses by Amy Evans - Young adult/new adult contemporary romance

Cover Reveal - Jellybean Kisses by Amy Evans

Jellybean Kisses - First love is the sweetest.

Contemporary Romance – upper YA / NA

Cover Design by Regina Wamba

Synopsis

In kindergarten, Jax pulled out a chair for Jacey and swept the play dough off so that she would sit down next to him and he's been carving out ways for them to stick together ever since. Though everyone in their conservative, small beach town sees them as a couple, except it isn't true. They've never done anything officially coupley, no dates, no kisses, no sex. Getting together for real just seemed so huge, and it always felt like they had forever. So they waited.

And then Hurricane Sandy came and life suddenly seemed less sure, more fragile. Jacey's house was destroyed, Jax's was damaged and life in their town changed completely. As they rebuild their lives, Jacey builds up her courage, and finally gets brave enough to tell Jax how she feels, just as timing slaps her in the face. Then plans change - Jacey’s for the summer and Jax’s for the fall, and suddenly they’re left with just a few weeks together. Can they begin forever when time’s run out, or will they have waited a lifetime to never have a beginning at all?

BOOK TOUR & REVIEW & GIVEAWAY - Relinquishing Liberty by Maureen Mayer - New Adult

Book Info-

Title-Relinquishing Liberty

Series-Second Chances Book #1

By-Maureen Mayer

Genre-New Adult

Expected Publication Date- August 26th, 2013

Blurb-

On the outside, Liberty Davis appeared to have it all…a loving family, a tight knit circle of friends, and a bright future ahead of her. Everything was perfect. That is until her brother tragically took his own life, turning her whole world upside down.

Left to pick up the pieces of her broken family, Liberty is faced with focusing all of her attention on helping her parents cope with the loss of their son, while putting her own life on the back burner. But what no one seems to realize is that she is just as broken inside.

Now, four years later, twenty year old Liberty is taking back the reins of her life. She leaves behind everything she’s ever known, hoping to make a fresh start…one where she isn’t faced with the constant reminder that her brother is nothing more than faded memory. What she didn’t expect to find along the way was Shayne.

Tall, dark and tattooed, Shayne Thompson has developed quite a reputation for being a player. Despite everyone’s negative perception, Liberty still finds herself drawn to him. When she learns that Shayne knows all too well what it feels like to lose someone you love, she finds that they have a lot more in common than just a physical attraction.

When Liberty discovers a secret from Shayne’s past that threatens to tear them apart, she begins to question everything she’s ever felt for him. Will Liberty choose to follow her heart or will she give up the one person who finally made her feel whole again?

DISCLAIMER

**This story contains language and sexual scenes, some of which may be unsuitable for younger readers.**

MY REVIEW
The synopsis drew me to this book. With Liberty losing her beloved Brother to suicide, she couldn't cope with her needy parents and needed to get away.

She started to build a new life for herself and got herself a job and made some new friends. Then along came the gorgeous Shayne who had secrets of his own that he kept hidden. Her new friends tried to warn her against him as he had had a string of women since his school days. He was a ladies man.

The books full title is Relinquishing Liberty, second chances #1. It's a great title for this book which is the story of relationships and several second chances for many of the characters. I enjoyed the fact that the book wasn't entirely predictable, although I worked out quite early on where one part of the story-line was heading.

There were some strong well written characters in book; all with very different hangups and personalities.

One thing that did put me off were the sex scenes between Liberty and Shayne. I thought they were completely unnecessary and didn't add anything to the story. Just tender unexplained love scenes would have been more than sufficient. I'm not averse to sex scenes in books where they are warranted but I just felt they were not necessary in this one, and tended to skip over the pages. This is the only reason I dropped my rating from a 5* to a 4*, as all in all it was a great story.

About the Author-

Maureen Mayer was born, raised and currently resides in Buffalo, NY with her loving and supportive family and boyfriend of 8+ years. She’s always had a love for the outdoors, and when the city isn’t buried under snow, she can be found hiking, fishing, camping or lying on the beach. She’s a sucker for off-color humor, but holds a sweet spot for sick and twisted horror films.

Thanks to authors like J. K. Rowling, Stephanie Meyer and E. L. James, Maureen has rediscovered her love for reading. When she’s not writing, you can find her curled up in bed with her kindle, diving into a steamy romance novel. She is currently working on her first new adult novel and hopes to self-publish it late this summer.
