BLOG TOUR - Perfectly Messy by Lizzy Charles


Title: Perfectly Messy
Author: Lizzy Charles
Release: May 2014 

Popularity isn't everything it's cracked up to be. Justin Marshall knows this better than most. For the captain of the basketball team, small business owner, and son of Minnesota's next governor, life can get pretty overwhelming. But Justin can handle anything as long as he has Lucy, the girl who fell for the man he’s trying to be.

But for Justin and Lucy, finding time together proves challenging. Stolen kisses and whispered promises just aren't enough. That is, until scandalous photos of the couple are leaked to a press intent on creating a juicy scandal during Justin's dad's gubernatorial campaign. And when Lucy becomes fair play for the tabloids and gossip pages, Justin does the only thing he can to protect her: he breaks her heart.

For Lucy, junior year is everything she hoped it would be: new friends, second chances, and a boyfriend she can’t stop kissing. That is, until the boy she’s pretty sure she loves chooses the life his family wants for him, over her.

Now it’s up to Lucy to teach him what it really means to have everything. Because for Justin, being who everyone needs him to be just might cost him the one person he can’t live without.

BOOK BLITZ GIVEAWAY! - True Fate

 
 
 
 I am to be celebrating the release of my first YA Paranormal Fantasy with Romance.
We have an awesome GIVEAWAY that will run throughout the entire Blitz!
 
 
 
Strange things have always happened to Nia, and until now she’s written them off as flukes. At nineteen she has seen her fair share of odd occurrences and just feels lucky.

When Nia unknowingly spoke a prophecy on her eighteenth birthday she freaked out her best friend, Rhea. Nia realizes she needs to find some answers. Rhea makes her promise to go and see her Great Aunt Amarie, but she isn’t sure if her crazy aunt could really help.

Nia finds herself unexpectedly drawn to a stranger and begins dreaming of people who seem to know everything about her.

They offer little in the way of information as to how and why. It all feels too real but Nia is unsure, at least until she wakes up with a trinket from the encounter.

When dreams and reality collide Nia will have to face dangers she never knew existed. Ready or not she will have to discover her True Fate.

Now onto the Tease!
 

"Hello?”
 
"Hey honey," her mom, Margie’s lightly accented voice sang through the car speakers.
 
"Hi mom." Nia said biting her lip.
 
"How is everything going sweetie?" Margie asked.
 
"Great. Is something wrong mom?"
 
"What? No sweetie but your dad said to call you, he said and I quote, he hasn't heard from you in a while and he's worried. You know how he can be." Her mom said in the sweetest way possible.
 
"Sorry about that I have been kind of busy. Umm I'm kind of on a date right now." Nia explained wanting to melt under the seat as Aaron looked at her adoringly but she knew her cheeks were flush.
 
"Oh goodness, sweetheart! That's fantastic! How's it going? Do we know him? Is he cute?" Margie rattled off the string of questions before Nia could stop her.
 
Correction, she no longer wanted to hide, she wanted to die...... right now.
 
"Wow! Umm, mom? It's going great and no you don't know him yet and he is definitely hot.” She looked at him and he smiled. “His name is Aaron and by the way, you're on speaker."
 
“Oh... well... um, I'm sorry honey. And hello Aaron it's nice to sort of meet you. You're welcome at our home anytime." Margie said with a shaky and clearly mortified voice.
 
"Thank you Mrs. De La Garza" Aaron said wincing as he finally chimed in.
 
"Oh please call me Margie." Nia’s mom insisted.
 
"Okay, I'll try but I can’t guarantee it, that’s just how I was raised." He responded politely.
 
Interrupting Nia asked, "Hey, Mom? We’re headed that way. Is Dad there?"
 
"Oh, yes we're having a late dinner. I used the slow cooker. It's been a long day." Margie explained sounding tired.
 
"We can be there in thirty." Nia said feeling dread set in at the prospect of her dad meeting Aaron.
 
"Great! Well then I will see you soon honey! Bye!" Margie sung again as she hung up the phone ending all their awkward misery.
 
'That had to be the most embarrassing conversation in the history of my life.' Nia sent to Aaron because it was easier to think than say.
 
"It's fine really, I thought it was sweet. And I found out some interesting information too.” he said with a huge grin.
 
"Oh yeah, and what was that?” she asked laughing.
 
"You think I'm hot." Aaron said as a wide grin spread across his face.

REVIEW - #RPRC2014 - #YACC2014 - Where You'll Find Me by Erin Fletcher

 
When Hanley Helton discovers a boy living in her garage, she knows she should kick him out. But Nate is too charming to be dangerous. He just needs a place to get away, which Hanley understands. Her own escape methods—vodka, black hair dye, and pretending the past didn't happen—are more traditional, but who is she to judge?

Nate doesn't tell her why he's in her garage, and she doesn't tell him what she's running from. Soon, Hanley¹s trading her late-night escapades for all-night conversations and stolen kisses. But when Nate¹s recognized as the missing teen from the news, Hanley isn't sure which is worse: that she's harboring a fugitive, or that she's in love with one.

REVIEW Times Two - Hidden Series by M. Lathan - Book 1

Review Times Two - Hidden Series
 
by
 
M. Lathan

 
Book 1 Hidden

 
 
Sixteen-year-old Leah Grant has given up on being normal. She’d settle for stopping the voices in her head, intrusive visions of the future, and better odds of making it to her seventeenth birthday.

That’s the thing about pretending to be human in a world where magic used to exist – at any moment, her cover could be blown and she’ll be burned to death like the rest of the witches.

Everything changes when she loses control of her powers and flees the orphanage she grew up in. She desperately wants to be invisible but finds her face plastered on every news channel as humans panic over the possible resurgence of her kind. And now the hunters won’t give up until they find her.

Making friends for the first time in her life and falling in love with one of them drives her to discover why she is unlike any being she’s ever met – human or otherwise. The dangerous powers inside of her that would repel Nathan, her new, handsome reason for living, are priceless to some. The locked up forever kind of priceless. And to others, they are too dangerous to allow her to live.

Let’s hope she can stay hidden
