The Darkness Series by Simone Nicole






Title: Ahead of the Darkness
Series: The Darkness #1
Author: Simone Nicole
Release Date: March 13, 2014


Synopsis

It has been a long, long time since I’ve seen your little face, chérie. Not once did you visit. That really hurt; after all, it was thanks to you I was convicted. That’s not something you forget.

I thought it was time— a visit was due. Seeing as you wouldn’t come to me, I thought it only right I come to you. Sadly, you weren’t home, but your furry feline was more than accommodating . . .

I’ll be seeing you soon, mon chérie. I’ll always find you . . .


For six years, a letter has dictated Amelia’s future. She’s running from a past that refuses to stop, always trying to get one step ahead. Amelia is clever and resilient, and refuses to slip up.

Relying only on herself, she’ll be anything and anyone she needs to survive. But everyone slips up . . . eventually. You can’t always stay ahead of the darkness.

Title: Out of the Darkness
Series: The Darkness #2
Author: Simone Nicole
Release Date: October 18, 2014


Synopsis

She ruined me.

The walls I’d built were for a reason; locking myself in my own personal prison was out of necessity. Now, with the rubble at my feet, I could do nothing but watch as she ripped my soul in two, taking the half she owned with her.


The need to settle down, to find that missing piece, for the all-consuming love, was never Drew’s plan. He’d spent the better part of a decade suppressing all memory of love, of life. He told himself he had the essentials: the impressive apartment, the successful club, the simple, uncomplicated life he’d worked so hard to create. It was all he needed. Until Mia.

She entered his life like wildfire, burning through his world and destroying all pretence of simplicity, evoking everything he’d fought to deny.

Longing. Warmth. Love.

She made him want it all, but Amelia lived in the darkness. It had always been her constant yet terrifying companion. A shadow she'd never been able to out run and one fateful night it finally consumed her, shattering both their worlds and burying them deeper in the dark.

Drew will stop at nothing to save her, for their happy ever after, but Mia isn’t the only one with demons … It’s a long way out of the darkness.

Synopsis:


They say the only good thing about hitting rock bottom is that it can't get any worse . . . or can it? 

World famous boxing champ, Felix Sanchez, had it all—the fame, the fortune, and all the women any man could ask for. When the hours of partying followed by hours spent in court and in rehab begin to outnumber the hours he spends training, losing his title comes as no surprise to everyone. The world assumes he deserved to lose it.

Only those closest to Felix know the real truth behind his sudden downward spiral. And if Felix has his way, no one else ever will. With an uncertain future ahead of him, he heads back to his roots—5th Street—the gym that started it all for him. It's where he meets the humble but mighty little Ms. Ella.

The only times Felix had ever decided to forgo the usual meaningless fling and try a real relationship he was burned badly. Now the adorable but tenacious self-defense instructor has him considering this love thing one more time.

Then just when he begins to worry that his past is letting his possessive and jaded heart get the best of him, he's blindsided in the most brutal way—he's brought to his knees—to what could be the one low in his life he may never recover from.



MY REVIEW:

This was a bittersweet moment, because I did not want the series to end! Felix has been a long awaited book for me. I love the 5th Street Series so much. I can tell you that that this book will have you in an emotional upheveal. Elizabeth did a great job at building up the story and characters. There was no jumping into bed right away, it was a great love story. You can probably read Felix as a stand alone, but you really should read the series at the very least Gio's story. It gives you a good background of some of the things Felix has been through. We also get to read about Ella's background  and see how they work things out and try to make their relationship work out. I give this 5 STARS!!! Elizabeth you did an amazing job with this story. I fell in love with Felix, and now I can't decide who's my favorite. One thing is for sure - I LOVE THE WHOLE SERIES!!!!!

Where There's a Will by Stacy Gail



RELEASE DAY BLITZ

Title: Where There’s a Will

Series: Bitterthorn, Texas #4

Author: Stacy Gail

Publisher: Carina Press

Release Date: November 17, 2014

 



SYNOPSIS

Miranda Brookhaven returned to Bitterthorn, Texas to fix the past. Years ago, her father used her teenage romance with Coe Rodas to steal the prototype for a groundbreaking new automotive invention. Now her father's dead, and thanks to the convoluted will he left behind, she's stuck in town until she rights the wrong that lost her the man she loved.

Coe learned early on that life never goes according to plan. His dreams of hitting it big vanished when Miranda all but invited her father to take the only thing of value he ever had. But now the once-pampered princess is holed up in a condemned trailer on the edge of town...and everything he thought he knew about her—and about what happened between them back then—seems completely wrong.

Miranda's determined to give back to Coe all that he lost. If she can do that, maybe she can move on from the past. But Coe seems to be more interested in their rekindled passion than claiming what she thinks he deserves. She's got sixty days to convince him to cough up evidence that he's the original inventor—after that, the only way to transfer the patent rights over to him would be to make him part of the family, and she's not sure her heart can take another hit.

EXCERPTS


“I did try to erase you, Miranda—I’m not gonna lie. I didn’t know how else to stop the pain of what I thought was you stabbing me in the back. But covering up your name and pretending you never existed didn’t make it go away.” Coe slowed until they were standing in the middle of the deserted road, where he turned her to face him. When he saw how she was hugging herself to stay warm, he made a soft sound of concern and opened his peacoat to pull her into its enveloping depths. “And I know this is going to sound like a bunch of bullshit, but ever since you came back, I swear I can still feel your name on my arm. You won’t believe me, but… I know it’s still there. I know it.”

“I can feel your name on my skin.” Too late, she bit down on both her lips. Oops. She hadn’t meant to offer that up. This was his confession time, not hers.

He went so still it wouldn’t have surprised her if he’s stopped breathing. Then his hand slid under her sweater and pressed slowly, deliberately, into the small of her back, over his name. “You feel me here?”

She nodded, shaken by his breathless near whisper. She’d never heard him talk like that—like he feared he might send the world spinning off-axis if he spoke too loud. Then his arms tightened so fiercely around her, her feet left the road while his face turned into her hair. He didn’t speak, but the raggedness of his breathing, and the gentle savagery of his embrace, told her more about what was going on inside him than he ever could.

Oh, yes. He needed her. 

Maybe just as much as she needed him.

“I’m sorry you got so upset this morning, babe.” His voice sounded muffled against her, and she loved the cozysound of it. “I guess you didn’t want me to see that you still had my name on your back?”

She nodded, then figured with his face in her hair he might not have gotten the message. “That’s pretty much it.”

“I can’t tell you what I felt when I saw it.” His arms tightened a fraction. “It’s like everything inside me went flying. I never expected you to keep it, especially now that I know what a mess I made of things when we broke up. When I saw it was still there, the first thing I had to do was kiss it. So I did. Weird, right?”

She couldn’t answer, because it wasn’t weird at all. It was outrageously beautiful.

Tatted Cowboy by Kasey Millstead



RELEASE DAY BLITZ

Title: Tatted Cowboy

Series: Down Under Cowboy #4

Author: Kasey Millstead

Release Date: November 17, 2014



 

SYNOPSIS

One moment was all it took for my entire life to shatter. 

One moment. 

I had everything . . . and then, I had nothing. 

When all you’re left with are the pieces of your broken heart, there’s nothing you can do, except try to rebuild. So, that’s what I did. 

One moment was all it took for me to feel the first flutter of hope I’d had in a long time. 

One moment. 

He barrelled into my life, covered in tattoos and surrounded by an aura that enraptured me, determined to be the glue that held every broken piece of me together. 

I wanted to push him away, because I was scared to lose anyone else I loved. 

But, I wanted to hold him close because without him, my life was empty.

EXCERPTS

Excerpt 1:

 

With pain, comes blame.  We blame the ones we love, we blame the one we lost, but most of all, we blame ourselves.  It buries itself deep.  So deep that on some days it feels like it’s in the marrow of your bones.

It destroys everything.  The love you thought you had? Blame will chew it up and spit it out faster than you can blink.

Blame is like cancer; it eats away at all the good.  It consumes you and if you are not careful, it will kill you.
