In the last six months, Ashley’s life has been one disappointment after another. She walked in on her boyfriend with another woman, leaving her needing a new place to live and a mountain of debt.

Release Blitz and Giveaway: When Stars Collide by Micalea Smeltzer




Title: When Stars Collide
Series: Light in the Dark #2 
Author: Micalea Smeltzer
Genre: New Adult
 Release Date: August 30, 2016


We were like two stars orbiting each other—dancing around the possibility that one day we might collide. When we finally did, we opened up a black hole, obliterating everything around us. No one would be the same.

Least of all, us.

Waking up in Vegas married to the guy of your dreams sounds like a good thing, right? Not when you’re Thea Montgomery and said guy is your brother’s best friend.

Thea and Xander have always avoided the connection between them because her brother would never approve. Now, they’re married— the strongest bond you can have as a couple—and they’re not even a real couple…unless they want to be.

Thea wants an annulment immediately, but Xander’s waited too long to see her become his and he won’t let her go easily.

If she wants a divorce, fine, but he wants the summer to convince her that he’s the one. If at the end of the summer she still wants to end their marriage he’ll sign the papers, but until then…

All is not fair in love and war.

Unedited and subject to change.

Holy mother of all hangovers.

I’d succumbed to the lure of Vegas and gotten completely wasted. Granted, that’s what everyone did in Las Vegas but I like to think I usually have more sense than the social norm.

I rub my eyes and blink them open. The hotel room comes into formation around me. The walls are a warm golden color and the flat screen on the wall plays some home improvement show. I can see the bathroom from the bed, the tiled walls and large soaking tub.

I roll over onto my side, hoping I can sleep off the hangover, and reel back.

“Oh my God,” I cry, flailing in bed.

My legs kick the sleeping guy beside me.

Not just any sleeping guy.

Oh no.

Xander Kincaid, my brother’s best friend, lays in the bed beside me.

His dark hair tumbles over his forehead and his cheeks are covered with several days worth of scruff. His chest is bare and…holy shit. He’s naked.

I look down.

Oh God, I’m naked too.

“What’s wrong?” He asks, reaching his left hand out to pull me closer to him. That’s when I see it.

“Is that a wedding band?” I scream shrilly.

His eyes narrow. “You don’t fucking remember?”

I shake my head and look at my own hand. A thin silver band rests on my finger. “What did we do?”

He sits up in bed and I try to ignore how adorably rumpled he looks with his hair sticking up.

Everything begins flooding back to me in quick bursts.

Drinks.

Kissing.

Laughter.

Confessions of love and desire.

A wedding chapel.

Vows.

Rings.

A contract. 

“We’re married,” I whisper. “Holy shit.” It’s all I’ve ever wanted—to be with Xander, but not like this. Never like this. “My brother is going to kill us.”
When Stars Collide is the second book in Light In The Dark Series, this book can most definitely be read as a stand alone, but I would recommend reading book one Rae Of Sunshine. I would give this book a 3.5 stars and recommend to others. This was a good story.. a bit predictable but good non the less. I have enjoyed reading books by this author and will continue to in the future.

The saying what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? Well that certainly doesn't apply here... well for Thea she would love for it to stay in Vegas and not be a reality, but Xander finally has his chance with Thea and he wants it all to be real and follow them for the rest of there lives. They have one summer to decide if they will keep what happen in Vegas going on forever or end it once a for all... will Xander be able to prove to Thea they belong together?

Get to one clicking to see how it all unfolds, and coming up next is Dark Hearts Nova and Jace's book.. can't wait to read and see how it unfolds as well!

Thea and Xander skirt around their attraction and feelings toward one another for years. They were always "off-limits". Xander is her brothers best friend.

During a conference in Vegas walls came down and they ended up married. Scared, Thea tries to talk Xander in a divorce. He doesn't want that. He's happy to finally have Thea. He asks her for a summer to try and stay married and go from there.

But trying to keep the secret until they decide their outcome becomes harder and harder, constantly sneaking around to "be together".

What happens at the end of the summer? And what will happen when her brother finds out?

Definitely go one-click this to find out. The story pace was good and the attraction and interaction between the two was fantastic.

What do Vegas, a wedding, an abusive father and an over protective brother have in common? Read this one to find out. 

Xander and Thea have always had sparks, but Cade's protectiveness has stood in their way, until a little white chapel lands in their path. What will happen when their truth comes out? Not everyone is as happy for them.

This story is heartwarming and has plenty of twists and turns. If you're looking for a great four star read then you'll want one click this one today.


Book One in the series. Cade and Rae’s story.
Can be read as a standalone.

Currently FREE everywhere. 

What I remember the most about that day was that it was completely ordinary. Then with one stupid decision everything fell apart and nothing was ever the same.

Rae Wilder wants nothing but a do over—but life doesn’t work that way. She’s stuck living out the consequences of her actions. At times the burden feels unbearable.
College is supposed to be her second chance.
New place.
New people.
New life.
No one to know what she did.
Despite that, she has still vowed to avoid everyone and everything at all costs.
Unfortunately for her, an accidental run-in with the campus heartthrob, Cade Montgomery, derails that plan.
He’s determined to thaw the ice around her heart and expose the girl she used to be. He wants to show her that life is worth living for and that she really is a Rae of Sunshine.

Release Blitz and Giveaway: Rushing In by Lexi Ryan




Title:​ ​Rushing​ ​In
Series:​ ​The​ ​Blackhawk​ ​Boys​ ​#2 ​ ​
​ ​
Author:​ ​Lexi​ ​Ryan​ ​
Genre:​ ​New​ ​Adult
​ ​
Release​ ​Date:​ ​August​ ​30,​ ​2016​ ​

The​ ​favor​ ​seemed​ ​simple: Keep​ ​my​ ​new​ ​stepsister​ ​out​ ​of​ ​trouble​ ​for​ ​one​ ​summer.​ ​

​ ​​ ​I’ve​ ​never​ ​met​ ​Grace​ ​Lee,​ ​but Mom​ ​tells​ ​me​ ​she’s​ ​a​ ​quiet​ ​and​ ​artsy​ ​college​ ​student​ ​with​ ​a​ ​troubled​ ​past.​ ​When​ ​I​ ​agreed​ ​to​ ​let​ ​her​ ​stay​ ​with​ ​me,​ ​I​ ​thought​ ​it​ ​was​ ​no​ ​big​ ​deal.​ ​I expected​ ​to​ ​share​ ​my​ ​apartment​ ​with​ ​a​ ​sullen​ ​girl​ ​who’d​ ​spend​ ​hours​ ​locked​ ​in​ ​her​ ​room.​ ​

​ ​​ ​I​ ​didn’t​ ​expect​ ​a​ ​walking fantasy​ ​determined​ ​to​ ​make​ ​me​ ​lose​ ​my​ ​cool.​ ​

​ ​​ ​I​ ​didn’t​ ​expect​ ​a​ ​woman​ ​with secrets​ ​so​ ​dark,​ ​so​ ​deep,​ ​I’d​ ​throw​ ​away​ ​everything​ ​if​ ​it​ ​would​ ​save​ ​her​ ​from​ ​the​ ​past.​ ​

​ ​​ ​Rushing​ ​in​ ​to​ ​do​ ​this​ ​favor​ ​is turning​ ​my​ ​life​ ​upside​ ​down—and​ ​not​ ​just​ ​because​ ​Grace​ ​needs​ ​her​ ​ass​ ​spanked.​ ​Keep​ ​her​ ​out​ ​of​ ​trouble?​ ​Grace​ ​is​ ​the​ ​trouble.​ ​And​ ​I​ ​want in.




Grace's father is overprotective to the max, ever since her little incident as a freshman in high school. As a result she's been sentenced to spend her summer before her Junior year of college with her stepbrother as her baby sitter.

There's just one problem, her stepbrother isn't who she thought he was. And, their paths have crossed before. Will the lines between wrong and right blur forever or can they resist the urge to take things further?

This book was a little bit of a slow read for me. Thankfully it picked up a bit towards the middle-end. As far as stepbrother romances go, I'd give this one 3.5. One click today!

Rushing In is the second book in the Blackhawk Boys series, although it said it can be read as a standalone I would highly recommend book 1 Spinning Out- Arrow's story. This book is Christopher's and and Grace's story. I would give this book a 4 stars and highly recommend to others. I love everything that Lexi Ryan writes and this series is no different. This is a step-brother romance/ college/sports romance which all three genres have become quite the favorite of mine, so I was really excited to read this story and I was not disappointed at all!

When Grace and Christopher meet they instantly feel a chemistry neither have felt for another before, but neither realize who one another actually is... when the truth comes out can they fight there attraction and move on with there lives or will it lead to a never ending love?? Obstacles keep popping up and other problems will stand in there way but will they make it work??

Get to one clicking to find out what happens in this awesome story.... and there is more to come from this series in Sebastian's story Going Under-- can't wait for this one!!

Rushing​ ​In Excerpt​ ​©​ ​2016​ ​by​ ​Lexi​ ​Ryan

 Chris​ ​arches​ ​a​ ​brow​ ​and skims​ ​his​ ​gaze​ ​over​ ​my​ ​body—correction,​ ​my​ ​dress​ ​and​ ​Chucks.​ ​“You’re​ ​gonna​ ​go​ ​hiking​ ​in​ ​that?”​ ​

I​ ​shrug.​ ​“It’s not​ ​like​ ​it’s​ ​full-length​ ​and​ ​gonna​ ​get​ ​tangled​ ​around​ ​my​ ​legs​ ​or​ ​anything.”​ ​

His​ ​gaze​ ​drifts​ ​down​ ​my​ ​body​ ​again,​ ​this​ ​time​ ​landing​ ​on the​ ​thigh​ ​visible​ ​beneath​ ​the​ ​hem​ ​of​ ​my​ ​dress.​ ​“It’s​ ​certainly​ ​not,”​ ​he​ ​mumbles,​ ​and​ ​the​ ​way​ ​he​ ​says​ ​it​ ​has​ ​my​ ​cheeks​ ​burning​ ​and​ ​me​ ​reaching for​ ​my​ ​water.​ ​

So​ ​damn​ ​thirsty.​ ​

We​ ​finish​ ​packing​ ​up​ ​our​ ​lunch​ ​together,​ ​and​ ​after​ ​we​ ​put​ ​the​ ​cooler​ ​back​ ​in​ ​the car,​ ​I​ ​grab​ ​the​ ​park​ ​pamphlet​ ​out​ ​of​ ​the​ ​front​ ​seat.​ ​“Come​ ​on,”​ ​I​ ​say,​ ​nodding​ ​in​ ​the​ ​direction​ ​of​ ​the​ ​outlook.​ ​“It’s​ ​my​ ​turn​ ​to​ ​be​ ​in​ ​charge.”​ ​

The​ ​park​ ​is​ ​beautiful,​ ​but​ ​as​ ​soon​ ​as​ ​we​ ​enter​ ​the​ ​woods​ ​and​ ​I​ ​see​ ​the​ ​overlook,​ ​my​ ​breath​ ​catches.​ ​From​ ​here,​ ​we​ ​have​ ​a​ ​view​ ​of​ ​the ravine​ ​below​ ​and​ ​the​ ​creek​ ​rushing​ ​through​ ​the​ ​bottom.​ ​Mossy​ ​rock​ ​faces​ ​make​ ​up​ ​the​ ​ravine​ ​walls,​ ​and​ ​trees​ ​protrude​ ​from​ ​them.​ ​It’s​ ​possibly the​ ​most​ ​beautiful​ ​thing​ ​I’ve​ ​ever​ ​seen.​ ​

I​ ​head​ ​past​ ​the​ ​overlook​ ​and​ ​take​ ​the​ ​stairs​ ​down​ ​into​ ​the​ ​ravine.​ ​It’s​ ​shady​ ​back​ ​here​ ​and feels​ ​ten​ ​degrees​ ​cooler​ ​than​ ​our​ ​picnic​ ​table​ ​in​ ​the​ ​sun.​ ​

At​ ​the​ ​bottom​ ​of​ ​the​ ​stairs,​ ​the​ ​trail​ ​splits​ ​in​ ​three​ ​directions,​ ​and​ ​when​ ​I follow​ ​the​ ​sign​ ​with​ ​the​ ​three,​ ​Chris​ ​puts​ ​his​ ​hand​ ​on​ ​my​ ​arm.​ ​“Hey,​ ​this​ ​one​ ​has​ ​ladders.”​ ​

I​ ​arch​ ​a​ ​brow​ ​and​ ​drop​ ​my​ ​gaze​ ​to​ ​my shoes.​ ​“I​ ​can​ ​handle​ ​it.”​ ​

Something​ ​passes​ ​over​ ​his​ ​face​ ​I​ ​don’t​ ​understand,​ ​and​ ​then​ ​he​ ​sighs​ ​and​ ​nods.​ ​“Okay,​ ​but​ ​I’m​ ​climbing​ ​the ladders​ ​behind​ ​you.​ ​If​ ​any​ ​creep​ ​is​ ​going​ ​to​ ​be​ ​looking​ ​up​ ​your​ ​dress​ ​today,​ ​it’s​ ​gonna​ ​be​ ​me.”​ ​

My​ ​cheeks​ ​heat,​ ​and​ ​my​ ​brain instantly​ ​diagrams​ ​his​ ​words​ ​and​ ​starts​ ​analyzing​ ​the​ ​nuance​ ​of​ ​each.​ ​Just​ ​comedy​ ​or​ ​more?​ ​Stupid​ ​brain.​ ​“Fair​ ​enough.”​ ​

He mutters​ ​something​ ​that​ ​sounds​ ​like​ ​“Dreams​ ​really​ ​do​ ​come​ ​true,”​ ​but​ ​I​ ​can’t​ ​be​ ​sure.​ ​

The​ ​trail​ ​leads​ ​down​ ​into​ ​the​ ​ravine​ ​and​ ​along the​ ​creek​ ​bed.​ ​It’s​ ​so​ ​much​ ​cooler​ ​down​ ​here,​ ​and​ ​I​ ​love​ ​the​ ​sound​ ​of​ ​the​ ​creek​ ​rock​ ​crunching​ ​under​ ​my​ ​feet​ ​as​ ​we​ ​walk​ ​along.​ ​

By the​ ​time​ ​we​ ​come​ ​upon​ ​the​ ​first​ ​ladder,​ ​there’s​ ​no​ ​one​ ​else​ ​around.​ ​

“Ladies​ ​first,”​ ​he​ ​says,​ ​gesturing​ ​toward​ ​the​ ​ladder.​ ​

“Pervert,”​ ​I​ ​mutter,​ ​but​ ​I​ ​move​ ​forward​ ​and​ ​begin​ ​my​ ​climb.​ ​The​ ​rungs​ ​are​ ​coated​ ​in​ ​mud,​ ​and​ ​when​ ​I’m​ ​halfway​ ​up,​ ​one​ ​foot​ ​slips​ ​and suddenly​ ​Chris’s​ ​hands​ ​are​ ​there,​ ​holding​ ​me​ ​steady,​ ​his​ ​hands​ ​strong​ ​and​ ​warm​ ​against​ ​the​ ​backs​ ​of​ ​my​ ​legs.​ ​

My​ ​breath​ ​catches, and​ ​I​ ​force​ ​myself​ ​to​ ​breathe​ ​and​ ​find​ ​my​ ​footing.​ ​The​ ​feel​ ​of​ ​his​ ​hands​ ​against​ ​my​ ​skin​ ​causes​ ​something​ ​to​ ​swirl​ ​hot​ ​and​ ​tight​ ​low​ ​in​ ​my​ ​belly.

“Are​ ​you​ ​okay?”​ ​he​ ​asks,​ ​his​ ​voice​ ​as​ ​thick​ ​as​ ​the​ ​forest​ ​beyond​ ​the​ ​trail.​ ​

I’m​ ​not​ ​okay.​ ​I’m​ ​afraid​ ​to​ ​move.​ ​Afraid​ ​not​ ​to move.​ ​Trapped​ ​by​ ​a​ ​fear​ ​that​ ​has​ ​nothing​ ​to​ ​do​ ​with​ ​a​ ​slippery​ ​ladder​ ​and​ ​everything​ ​to​ ​do​ ​with​ ​falling.​ ​

Then,​ ​slowly,​ ​his​ ​thumbs begin​ ​to​ ​slide​ ​over​ ​my​ ​skin.​ ​His​ ​hands​ ​inch​ ​up​ ​my​ ​thighs​ ​until​ ​his​ ​fingertips​ ​skim​ ​the​ ​bottom​ ​edge​ ​of​ ​my​ ​underwear​ ​and​ ​slip​ ​under​ ​to​ ​trace​ ​the bottom​ ​curve​ ​of​ ​my​ ​ass.​ ​

I​ ​cannot​ ​breathe.​ ​

I​ ​force​ ​myself​ ​to​ ​turn​ ​my​ ​head​ ​and​ ​look​ ​down​ ​at​ ​him.​ ​His​ ​jaw​ ​is​ ​set​ ​tight,​ ​a picture​ ​of​ ​self-control,​ ​but​ ​when​ ​his​ ​eyes​ ​meet​ ​mine,​ ​his​ ​face​ ​relaxes​ ​and​ ​he​ ​shoots​ ​me​ ​a​ ​boyish​ ​grin.​ ​I​ ​attempt​ ​my​ ​best​ ​poker​ ​face.​ ​“Are​ ​you copping​ ​a​ ​feel,​ ​Christopher​ ​Montgomery?”​ ​

His​ ​grin​ ​goes​ ​wide,​ ​putting​ ​his​ ​dimples​ ​on​ ​full​ ​display.​ ​“I​ ​don’t​ ​know​ ​what​ ​you’re​ ​talking about,”​ ​he​ ​says,​ ​his​ ​Southern​ ​accent​ ​drawing​ ​out​ ​his​ ​words.​ ​“I’m​ ​just​ ​trying​ ​to​ ​perform​ ​a​ ​necessary​ ​rescue​ ​mission.”​ ​

“Do​ ​I​ ​look​ ​like​ ​I need​ ​rescuing?”​ ​I​ ​ask.​ ​Under​ ​the​ ​lace​ ​edge​ ​of​ ​my​ ​panties,​ ​his​ ​thumb​ ​strokes​ ​again,​ ​a​ ​long,​ ​slow​ ​motion​ ​that​ ​makes​ ​me​ ​want​ ​to​ ​close​ ​my​ ​eyes and​ ​moan.​ ​I​ ​resist​ ​and​ ​hold​ ​his​ ​gaze.​ ​

“Who​ ​said​ ​you’re​ ​the​ ​one​ ​I’m​ ​rescuing?​ ​Maybe​ ​I’m​ ​trying​ ​to​ ​save​ ​myself.”​ ​He​ ​drops​ ​his​ ​hands and​ ​grabs​ ​a​ ​hold​ ​of​ ​the​ ​sides​ ​of​ ​the​ ​ladder,​ ​then​ ​he​ ​climbs​ ​up​ ​behind​ ​me​ ​so​ ​his​ ​body​ ​is​ ​pressed​ ​against​ ​mine,​ ​my​ ​back​ ​to​ ​his​ ​front.​ ​His​ ​mouth hovers​ ​above​ ​my​ ​ear,​ ​his​ ​breath​ ​hot​ ​and​ ​uneven.​ ​“Because​ ​I​ ​swear​ ​if​ ​I​ ​have​ ​to​ ​go​ ​much​ ​longer​ ​without​ ​touching​ ​you,​ ​I’m​ ​going​ ​to​ ​implode.”​ ​

His​ ​lips​ ​skim​ ​my​ ​earlobe,​ ​and​ ​my​ ​eyes​ ​float​ ​closed.​ ​My​ ​brain​ ​has​ ​no​ ​room​ ​for​ ​sight​ ​when​ ​it’s​ ​overloaded​ ​with​ ​sensations.​
