Blog Tour + Giveaway: OVER HER WED BODY by Alexia Adams

Title: Over Her Wed Body

Beckett Samuelson has had enough stepmothers to spot a gold digger when he sees one. So when his ailing father announces his engagement to the private nurse he's only known for two months—who's also forty years his junior—Beckett has to step in. But as he gets to know the woman, he realizes she's the perfect next Mrs. Samuelson.

If only he was the intended groom.

Corazon Dela Cruz sends every spare penny she earns to her family in the Philippines. Then her latest nursing client offers her $25,000 to fake an engagement to convince his overprotective son to return to work abroad—he doesn't need Beckett's help. But as Corazon and Beckett spend more time together—from picnics on the beach to galas in fancy dresses—she starts to develop very real feelings.

Too bad she's engaged to the wrong Samuelson.

Blog Tour + Giveaway: HER MARINE NEXT DOOR by Aliyah Burke

Title: Her Marine Next Door

My next door neighbor Parker Jax is not my type. He's covered in tats, rides a motorcycle, and his parties keep me up all night. The fact he's sexy as sin doesn't change the fact we are oil and water.

I'm a quiet artist. He's a rowdy marine. I've got a broken heart. I'm convinced he doesn't have a heart at all.

Thankfully, my bad-boy neighbor is on leave from Marines for only thirty days. But then the jerk has to go and show me that he has a soft side beneath all those hard muscles. He actually leaves his own party to help me, and he didn't even have to.

Fantastic. Now I owe him.

I'm not worried, though. What are the chances he'll need me to do anything before the month is up?

But when a woman shows up with a kid at her side, knocking on Parker's door, it turns out those chances are pretty good...

Blog Tour + Giveaway: THE MISTLETOE TRAP by Cindi Madsen

Title: The Mistletoe Trap

From the moment Julie sees her best friend, Gavin, in the airport, it's like no time at all has gone by instead of months and months. No matter how long they've been apart, their relationship has always been steady, comfortable, and decidedly just friends. Even though their meddling parents have hung what seems like unlimited amounts of mistletoe everywhere she goes this holiday season, Julie knows some things will never change.

Gavin is well-aware his family's wanted him and Julie to get together since forever, even though he's been friend-zoned since they could talk—and he's been happy to play that role. After all, as the new starting quarterback for the San Antonio Mustangs, he's got enough on his plate without adding romance to the mix.

But between playing elves in the holiday bazaar to nights spent one-on-one watching rom-coms or soaking in their town's hot springs, suddenly the "reverse parent trap" they've fallen into is actually starting to work. But this could be one scheme where letting themselves get trapped might be way too dangerous.

Blog Tour + Giveaway: GIRL LONG GONE by Danielle M. Haas

Monica's stomach fluttered with excitement as she told the interesting man she'd been flirting with online for weeks all about her weekend plans. He was a great match, and they had so many things in common. But sometimes your life can come down to one single bad decision...

NYPD Computer-crimes detective Connor Mitchel's sister is missing. As he combs through his sister's life, he realizes Monica might not have been this killer's first target—or his last. In a twisted game of cat and mouse, Connor thinks he's finally found the man responsible for his sister's disappearance. Unfortunately, he'll first need to convince the shy, distrustful Evelyn Price she could be the next victim tangled in the murderer's web if she doesn't agree to help him catch the killer. But just as Connor and Evelyn close in on their quarry, the killer has one last trick up his sleeve that could trap them all...

Addicted Series Lovefest: In Which My Love For LiLo Becomes More Obvious, Maybe

SOME KIND OF PERFECT RELEASES IN TWO DAYS, YA'LL. It's hard to believe that it's been about two years since I fell head first into this wonderful world that is the Addicted series. Or that Krista and Becca have written ten amazing books in what, three years?! [I have no doubt that SKoP will have me in tears]. Not only is that a lot of books, but if you've read the Addicted series you know how massive these babies are. 'Tis proof of their superwriting powers!

Today, Fizzle Force bloggers around the world are celebrating Krista & Becca and sharing our love of all things Addicted series *twirls and dances* We're coming to the end of a spectacular era! Just thinking about the epilogue book makes me emotional.

What the Addicted Series Means to Me

My irl friends aren't big readers. Probably 90% of the time, I'm fangirling about a book to my cousin who has ever only read YA (and that's on the rare chance that she feels like reading). I needed an outlet for my thoughts and she was kind enough to take on my crazy hah. I'll never forget the day when Jenn and Lanie [I love you both dearly for this too] asked me if I was interested in helping with what is now known as Krista & Becca's Fizzle Force on fb. My first thought was OMG *self fist bump*. It was almost like being asked if I wanted to be one of the knights of the round table, you know? Part of a team, a book club, which I have always wanted to be a part of. There was finally a place for me to talk about my favorite series and characters without seeming over the top insane. Because the majority of the members are just as big a fan of these books as I am :').

I've also had the pleasure of meeting the sweetest readers on this planet because of the Addicted series. I swear, the Fizzle Force is made up of the nicest people ever!! Like Lily from Lily's Book Blog, Amy from Foxy Blogs, A. from FMA Book Reviews, Linda from Second Bite Book Reviews, Jasmine from The Reading Escape, to name a few. If you could imagine how excited and freaked out I was of becoming an admin, I was equally so when accepted into the loving arms of the Fizzle Reads girls, my OTP of Pain squad sisters. I had secretly stalked half of these girls *cough* Siiri, Sue, Sil and Zee *cough* for the longest time because of their fab blog and/or graphics heheh. Now, these four, plus Lisa, Jessi, Katie, Eri, Almera and Laura, are practically my sisters (you're stuck with me, sorry) who I love and hate for pushing so many cute books on me. Every day is brighter talking to anyone from this fandom. Thank you, Krista & Becca for writing these inspiring books and bringing us all together!

If ever there were a series to highlight the importance of being comfortable in your own skin, persevering through hardships and doing what you love, the Addicted series is THE BEST. I'm a sucker for romance. I like childhood friends to lovers stories. When I first read ATY, KTS, HF etc, I didn't expect to feel such a strong connection with the characters. I'm a huge fan of the NA genre but rarely have I read one with such depth in it's characters and story. The Addicted series is actually the first series that I've invested 110% of myself in. I wrote a tumblr post once about why I love the Addicted characters and after re-reading it now, I've realized how my reason for loving one character could easily apply to any of the others. I love them so much my heart hurts. It's thanks to the Addicted series that I've come to embrace myself and appreciate what I have. So, I'd also like to thank Krista & Becca for encouraging me to be me *hugs you both tightly*.

Most Fizzle Force darlings know that LiLo is my #1. I contemplated the idea of making a graphic for the lovefest but decided to do something new. It's a mash-up of two of my favorite things: LiLo and singing! Note: the only thing original about the clip you're going to hear are the lyrics hah. I've rewritten the first verse and chorus of Taylor Swift's Style to explain a few of the reasons why LiLo is life and the Addicted series is basically my bible. I had a lot of fun writing this. Maybe one day I'll learn the piano score of the song and do a full cover but until then... voila, an acapella snippet of LiLo by moi! TEAM LILO FOREVER.

If you have not read the Addicted series yet, please, please, please give this story and these characters a chance. I promise you won't regret it. Addicted to You is free on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo and iBook, so it's the perfect time to start because Some Kind of Perfect the epilogue book will be releasing on May 20th! Thanks for taking the time to read this little tidbit of my Addicted love.

Promo Tour + Review + Giveaway: DIRTY by A.C. Bextor

DIRTY.

A seemingly innocuous five letter word until you pull back the layers of its meaning.

Imprisoned in a small room within the walls of the Satan's Creed Motorcycle Club compound, Casey Richards struggles to survive the only life she was raised to know. Her mother, a club whore, and her father, an unknown outlaw she's never met, Casey's fate is all but sealed in the eyes of the club.

Foul. Unclean. Undesirable.

Trapped in a loveless marriage, and with no children of her own, Emma Carsen is the only living soul willing to fight for her niece, Casey. She's all but given up on saving her until the one man she's longed to see again unexpectedly finds his way back to town and into her life.

Sordid. Vile. Unscrupulous.

Max Taylor, former-biker of a disbanded MC, has been holding onto reasons to avoid coming back to the small town he grew up in. The same ghosts that drove him away eventually force Max to find his way back. Now that he's home, he may be Casey's only chance for freedom.

Filthy. Hateful. Impure.

In order to get to Casey, Max must find a way to infiltrate the MC. Setting up a meet with Hoss, Satan's Creed's President who's known for this depravity as much as his double-crossing ways, it's clear that forming an alliance is going to be more of a challenge than he expected. Now he must prove his loyalty to the club and in doing so, he's forced to get his hands...

DIRTY.

Blog Tour + Review + Giveaway: DEEP by Kylie Scott

Positive. With two little lines on a pregnancy test, everything in Lizzy Rollin's ordinary life is about to change forever. And all because of one big mistake in Vegas with Ben Nicholson, the irresistibly sexy bass player for Stage Dive. So what if Ben's the only man she's ever met who can make her feel completely safe, cherished, and out of control with desire at the same time? Lizzy knows the gorgeous rock star isn't looking for anything more permanent than a good time, no matter how much she wishes differently.

Ben knows Lizzy is off limits. Completely and utterly. She's his best friend's little sister now, and no matter how hot the chemistry is between them, no matter how sweet and sexy she is, he's not going to go there. But when Ben is forced to keep the one girl he's always had a weakness for out of trouble in Sin City, he quickly learns that what happens in Vegas, doesn't always stay there. Now he and Lizzie are connected in the deepest way possible...but it will it lead to a connection of the heart?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"When it comes to matters of the heart, you decided where you belong and you go be there."

Stage Dive is one of my all-time favorite rock star romance series. These books are filled with humor (A LOT of humor), sexiness and heart-warming moments. I loved the friendships, especially the bromance (Mal + anyone is a delight!!). I was incredibly excited to start Deep but at the same time, it was bittersweet knowing that it was the final book in the series. I've grown quite attached to these guys so I'll miss them terribly, but I'm silently praying that we'll see small cameos of them in Kylie Scott's upcoming Dive Bar series *crosses fingers*.

Blog Tour + Giveaway: FUEL THE FIRE by Krista & Becca Ritchie

Hello, darlings! FUEL THE FIRE IS LIVE WOOT WOOT *rolls out the cake* It's the last day of the blog tour and I'm super excited to share this post with you! All the stops in this tour have been so freaking awesome—I am certain these girls possess magical powers. For Connor and Rose's first tour, it's PRETTY. DARN. EPIC. The dynamic of the Addicted characters is one of my all-time favorites. I love their friendships...their love. For today's post, Lily, Lo, Connor, Rose, Ryke and Daisy will be playing the game 'Taboo'. How the game works:

You draw a card that has a secret word you want your teammates to say/guess.
There's also 5 words listed that you are not allowed to say when giving clues.
You are not allowed to say parts of the secret word either.
Should you say any of the 'taboo' words, the card is void and you don't score a point
Rounds are timed so you try to get as many points you can in that time frame

We know how well the couples work together, so significant others will be split for some good ol' fashion boys vs. girls! Be sure to check out the other stops (click on the tour banner) and enter the giveaway at the end. Hope you enjoy!!

Blog Tour + Review + Giveaway: SAVING JAY by E.M. Abel

Title: Saving Jay
Author: E.M. Abel
Genre: NA, Contemporary, Romance
Publication Date: February 10, 2015
Breaking Free #3
| +Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes&Noble |

Jay
My life was a dark and desolate place. Consumed by work and full of regret, loneliness had become my closest friend. Ink and a tattoo machine were my therapy, a way to claim my own skin with the art that I loved. The day I walked into her shop, I knew I'd found what I needed. The light I'd been looking for.

Jade
When I first looked into those blue eyes I saw a depth behind them that I wanted to explore. Jason "Jay" Clarke was more than a perfectly pressed suit and dimpled smile. He was a man with a heart of gold drowning in the weight of his world. He wanted me to mark him. I never expected him to soothe my aching heart.

When our worlds collide and Jay begins to fall apart, will my love be enough to save him?

Title: Where The Road Takes Me
Author: Jay McLean
Genre: NA, Contemporary, Romance

| +Goodreads | Amazon |

Chloe has one plan for the future, and one plan only: the road. She's made a promise to herself: don't let anyone in, and don't let anyone lover her. She's learned the hard way what happens if she breaks her rules. So she's focused on being invisible and waiting until she can set out on the road—her dream of freedom, at least for a little while.

Blake Hunter is a basketball star who has it all—everything about him looks perfect to those on the other side of his protective walls. He can't let anyone see the shattered pieces behind the flawless facade or else all his hopes and dreams will disappear.

One dark night throws Chloe and Blake together, changing everything for Blake. For Chloe, nothing changes: she has the road, and she's focused on it. But when the so-called perfect boy starts to notice the invisible girl, they discover that sometimes with love, no one knows where the road may lead.

Promo Blitz + Review + Giveaway: MORE THAN FOREVER by Jay McLean

I'm so happy to be a part of the Promo Blitz for More Than Forever by Jay McLean.
My love for the More Than series is endless!
I'm eagerly awaiting for the next book in the series (More Than Enough)
and very excited to find out who the heck it will even be about!
Oh, please let it be Dylan's story!

Title: More Than Forever

Author: Jay McLean

More Than #4

Publication Date: July 11, 2014

Genre: New Adult, Contemporary

-LUCY-
There is a love so fierce it cannot be measured.
A heart so strong it will never slow.
There is a promise so sure it can never lie.
He promised me that love forever.
Even when it wasn't enough.

-CAMERON-
Forever. Everlasting. Eternal.
There is no measure of time.
No sounds of the ticking of a clock.
Just the rising and falling of the sun.
And our own sense of forever.

But our forever isn't always.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"There is a love so fierce it cannot be measured. A heart so strong it will never slow.

There is a promise so sure it can never be broken. And we promise that love forever."

More Than Forever is perfection! Jay McLean continues to wow and amaze me with every book in the More Than series. Not only did she meet my expectations, she went well beyond them and blew me away! From the very beginning, Cam and Lucy stood out from the group to me. They we're always teasing each other but you would get small scenes here and there that really highlighted how deep their love was. To finally get to read this book, their story, I was over the moon. I especially loved how this book took us back in time, even before More Than This (book one) to see how Lucy first caught Cam's eye and how they even became 'Team Luca', one of my top OTPs!

"I thought it was impossible to be able to laugh again. But he did it;

he made my impossible, possible."

Cameron Aladdin Gordon was the most wonderful hero—the most amazing boyfriend. He had eyes for no one but Lucy. He was funny, charming and had the biggest heart. He was Lucy's rock, her stability, her strength. But don't start thinking Lucy was weak or anything. She was pretty kick-ass! She was funny and strong, even before she started a relationship with Cam. Lucy made it her job to take care of everyone and because of that, she was quiet and held everything in. In book one, she was introduced as this kind-hearted bookworm that could go crazy (in a hilarious way) when drunk. I was surprised to see the contrast between past and present Lucy but absolutely loved seeing her open up to Cam.

"You know when people ask Lachlan how many brothers and sisters he has;

he tells them he has one sister and six brothers. He always, always, says Cam's name first."

Family played a huge role in More Than Forever. I especially loved Lucy's brothers. All six of them: Lucas, Leo, Logan, Liam, Lincoln and Lachlan. The reasoning behind why all their names start with an L was so touching too. Every interaction that Cam had with the boys made my heart flutter hard. Not only was he Lucy's hero, he was theirs too. This series has a fantastic group of secondary characters; Mark (Cam's mother's boyfriend) and Minge (Cam's roommate), to name a few in this book. All the scenes with Mark and Cam... let me tell you, SO DARN HEART-WARMING (and so funny at times)!

There were moments that made me laugh so hard and there were moments that made me cry my eyes out. More Than Forever was an emotional, heart-wrenching and breath-taking read! This is the kind of series that I would gladly go through the heart-ache of every single book again and again. I can't get enough of these characters and their stories. I WANT MORE!!

"Love has no limits. No boundaries. No time. It's eternal. Forever."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I see her wobble on her feet before she slowly tumbles to the ground. Her knees give out first, then the rest of her. It feels like I should've gotten to her earlier, but seconds of panic took place before my mind kicked into gear. And the rest is a blur.

Her friend's standing over us while I rest her head on my lap. "Lucy," I say. And it's the first time I've said her name out loud. It'd been over three weeks since I'd learned it.

"What happened?" Logan asks her friend.

"I don't know." She's as panicked as I am, if not worse.

"Is she dehydrated?" Logan picks up what looks like an uneaten sandwich. "Is this hers? Has she eaten?" I don't know why it annoys me that Logan is asking all the right questions and all I can do is stare down at her. She's breathing, so I guess that's something.

He drops down on his knees on the other side of her and pours water from his bottle into his hand, and then he runs it across her forehead and into her hairline.

"Is she alright, mate?" Jake asks. He's new and has a weird accent but Logan seems to think he's cool so we keep him around.

Logan does the water thing again, and this time her eyes slowly flutter open.

And I release the breath I was holding.

"It's okay," Logan says to her, "you just passed out."

He's in her face now, and I want to punch him for being the first thing she sees when she comes to. I was here first; I was the one watching her when she fell.

It should have been me.
