๐ŸŒŸBOOK BLITZ:๐ŸŒŸ The Dating Alternative by Jennifer Woodhull {EXCERPT + GIVEAWAY!}




The Dating Alternative by Jennifer Woodhull

Release Date: December 26th 2018 by Jennifer Woodhull
Pages: 288
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

After her fiance walks out just weeks before their wedding, Brie isn't ready for another relationship. After her friends convince her that what's good for the goose is good for the gander, she decides to give something more casual a try. When the good-looking guy she has flirted with for years keeps popping up, she's tempted. She may not be ready for dating, but Max is happy to offer her an alternative. 

Brie

Finding out your fiance is dating someone else is a real downer. What can I say? I picked the wrong guy. Gave him the wrong finger. Taking a break from dating seems like the logical choice. 

There are some great things about being single. Going without... you know, s-e-x... isn't one of them. My friends are trying to convince me that there's an app for that, but it's not working out so well. There is this one guy I've always sort of flirted with, though. For the first time since I've known him, we're single at the same time. I'm so not ready to jump into another relationship, but maybe it's time to find out if this friends-with-benefits thing can really work.

Max

I have crushed on Brie ever since I first met her, but the timing was never right. Now, though, she's single and so am I. Just my luck, she's got me firmly planted in the friend zone.

When I find out she's looking for something strictly physical, of course, I offer my services—I mean, what are friends for, after all? The problem is, the more time I spend with her, the more convinced I am that she's perfect for me. I'm probably the only guy in history to ruin a no-strings-attached deal by falling for the girl. 

Now, I've got to try to make her see I'm not like her jerk of an ex. If she'll give us a chance, I know we could be great together. She's under my skin, and if she walks away, she takes my heart with her.

Sabrina

He sets his coffee down on the little table beside me and I sink into the overstuffed wingback chair and gulp down several more sips of the soothing, warm liquid. I close my eyes, finally starting to feel more relaxed.

Max returns a moment later and grabs my hand, leaning down close to my ear. “Don’t freak out, but bad news – your ex is here. I saw him in the bathroom and he’s headed this way. Follow my lead.”

He pulls me to my feet, sits in the chair, and pulls me down on to his lap, facing out toward the aisle. He nods, indicating he has a plan, and quickly undoes the top button of my blouse. Then he pulls me close, one arm wrapped around my back at the shoulder, the other around my hips, and starts nuzzling my neck and collarbone.

I’m panicked, confused, and turned on all at once. Jesus, he feels incredible. “We’re a couple, got it?” His words are hot and warm against my ear, and when he nuzzles a little further down onto my neck, his beard tickles my collarbone, and I start to giggle.

I unconsciously slide my arms around his neck. He is a wall of solid muscle, and being on his lap, his face against my skin, my hands running across his broad shoulders is all working together to make a need pool in my belly like I haven’t felt in years. My panties are soaked, and I involuntarily press my thighs together.

Fuck, Brie. This guy hasn’t even kissed you, and you’re about to come just from sitting on his lap. You need to get laid. Bad.

The thought makes me laugh out loud. “That’s perfect,” Max says, glancing over his shoulder, then pressing his cheek to mine. “Here he comes,” he whispers. His breath is hot on the curve of my ear, and it leaves goosebumps along my flesh.

Max squeezes my side, his massive hand stretching easily across the depth of my ribs. I laugh even louder. “Oh my God, stop it!” I giggle as I say it more loudly than I intend to.

“Brie? Is that you?” I look up to see Grant standing over us.

And we were quiet again because I realized what I’d said. We were going to my house.

The silence and my thoughts about what bringing Noelle home symbolized lasted our whole ride, only ending when we got inside my place and I offered her something to drink.

I leaned against the counter and rested my head against the cabinet above. My heart slammed in my chest. This was momentous. The importance of having Noelle in my house—in my kitchen—drinking from glasses I bought after my ex left me and took all her things, along with some of my confidence with her.

I felt good—happy despite my nerves. In one night Noelle threw me and my plans off kilter. The guys were right; she had me by the balls. My only desire was to get out of my head and enjoy every minute of our limited time together.

I opened my eyes and found her watching me over the top of the glass. A small smile played on her juicy lips, and she had that look that let me know she knew what she did to me.

From Holly Hook

I'm Ellia, Syndie's ugly stepsister. Mother knows this, so she works Syndie to the bone, but this whole time, she's been waiting. Planning. Syndie wants us on the streets, and despite my kindness, I'm no exception.

Following her to the Courts lands me in the hands of a handsome guard, Jasper. Literally. And he doesn't seem to notice my corset or frizzy hair. Nervous and secretive, Jasper wants to stop cruel Prince Calvin from becoming King, which he'll do when he chooses his wife at the royal ball. And now I'm key to a plan that can save my family and the entire Kingdom.

Our weapons? Two magical slippers. One gives false beauty--but only until midnight. Then the other shows the wearer's true nature. If Prince Calvin even holds the hand of his chosen when the clock strikes twelve, the spell hits him, too. Everyone will see the truth and he'll never become King.

He and Syndie deserve each other.

I must make her dreams come true. But Mother, my sister, and a kingdom of jealous girls will do anything to stop Syndie from snagging the Prince. But what terrifies me the most is that trapped slipper. I can't let Jasper see how ugly I am, but if it all goes wrong, I'll have to give myself to its magic.

The Kingdom must be saved at all costs, even if I must sacrifice my happily ever after.

Taking her return one step at a time, she ends up on the doorstep of her sister’s best friend, Felix Nickson.

Many are called...
She alone can save the world and become Death's bride.


Cobweb Bride is a history-flavored fantasy novel with romantic elements of the Persephone myth, about Death's ultimatum to the world. 

What if you killed someone and then fell in love with them?

In an alternate Renaissance world, somewhere in an imaginary "pocket" of Europe called the Kingdom of Lethe, Death comes, in the form of a grim Spaniard, to claim his Bride. Until she is found, in a single time-stopping moment all dying stops. There is no relief for the mortally wounded and the terminally ill....

Covered in white cobwebs of a thousand snow spiders she lies in the darkness... Her skin is cold as snow... Her eyes frozen... Her gaze, fiercely alive...

While kings and emperors send expeditions to search for a suitable Bride for Death, armies of the undead wage an endless war... A black knight roams the forest at the command of his undead father ... Spies and political treacheries abound at the imperial Silver Court.... Murdered lovers find themselves locked in the realm of the living...

Look closer — through the cobweb filaments of her hair and along each strand shine stars...

And one small village girl, Percy—an unwanted, ungainly middle daughter—is faced with the responsibility of granting her dying grandmother the desperate release she needs.

As a result, Percy joins the crowds of other young women of the land in a desperate quest to Death's own mysterious holding in the deepest forests of the North...

And everyone is trying to stop her.

๐ŸŒŸBOOK BLITZ:๐ŸŒŸ Under Your Spell by Cynthia Rayne {EXCERPT + GIVEAWAY!}




Under Your Spell by Cynthia Rayne

Release Date: December 17th 2018
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Chloe

After my grand-mรจre was murdered, I returned to Bayou Noir to find the killer, because the police won’t do their freaking jobs. And I have just one suspect, Xavier Richelieu. But I forgot just how crazy the folks in my old hometown can be. A voodoo priestess, a supposed vampire, and a grumpy gator are on the loose. I don’t believe in crazy supernatural stuff, but I am worried about seeing my old crush again, Saint. And I should be. Somehow, he’s even more drop dead gorgeous than I remember. 

Saint

I’m a member of the Demons MC, Cajun Chapter and I’ve got better things to do than follow Chloe around who seems bound and determined to get herself killed. But someone needs to watch her back and I don’t see anyone else lining up to do the job. Once upon a time, she was a chubby kid with a school girl crush. Now, she’s a mouthwatering woman, who wants nothing to do with me. One way or the other, I’m gonna help her avenge her grand-mรจre and sweet talk her into my bed. Maybe not in that order.  


Purchase: Amazon

{EXCERPT}

“So, is Chloe rentin’ this place out to you?” Saint asked.

“Chloe?” The sound of my own name startled me so much, I dropped the keys.

Saint bent and picked them up, before handing them to me. I glanced up, meeting those startling, swallow-me-whole blue eyes. Somehow, I couldn’t look away.

Saint cleared his throat. “What was I sayin’? Right. Chloe’s the girl who owns this place. Her grandmother passed a few weeks ago. She must’ve rented it out to you.”

“Oh, uh, um, yes.” The lie clogged my throat, and I had to force the words out.

“What’s wrong?” He studied my face.

“Nothing. I’m fine.”

And then his eyes widened. “Wait a minute. No.”

“What?”

“Holy shit.” Saint stabbed an accusatory finger at me. “You're her.”

“Who?” I played dumb, desperately clinging to the plan.

“No fuckin’ way.” He backed off. “You're Chloe!”

“Yes, but—”

“But you’re...Little Bit.” He trailed off. Saint had given me the nickname when I was a kid because I’d been short. Not to mention, round. “No, I can’t do this. It ain’t right.” Saint shook his head as if trying to clear the cobwebs away. “Sorry. I have to go.”

Saint raced back down the path. He straddled his motorcycle and then took off, leaving a cloud of dirt and smoke in his wake.

And I was left on the front porch, watching him leave.

Well, that didn’t go according to plan.
