~ Note From Author ~

This series isn't like most you may run across.  Here is a note from Magan explaining how a serialized novel works.

I get asked a lot, What is a serialized novel? A serialized novel is basically like a TV show.  It's broken up into episodes.  Each story is about fifty pages long, perfect to read in one or two sittings.  Each installment will come out every three weeks with six of them total in a season.  Each episode will have its own story that will add to the bigger picture.  The basis of One Wild Night is that Valerie Wilder wakes up married to a stripper in Vegas.  Each episode follows that story with little plot twists and turns in between.

Magan Vernon is a Young Adult and New Adult writer who lives with her family in the insurance capital of the world.  When not writing she spends her time fighting over fake boyfriends via social media.  You can find her online at www.maganvernon.com 





Cover Reveal: Collaboration by Michelle Lynn Feat. Nevaeh Lee




~ Synopsis ~ 

This is not your typical rock star romance.  For one, the "rock star" is a rapper.  And not just any rapper.  Trace is the hottest ticket in the music industry right now, regardless of which definition of "hot" you choose.

Taryn Starr is not the girl-next-door who unknowingly meets a celebrity.  Known as "America's Sweetheart", the reigning country music princess and the world-renowned superstar knows exactly who Trace is...or does she?

Their worlds collide when the musicians whose paths were never destined to cross are forced by their joint record label to collaborate on a song.  The sparks fly and ignite a fire that blazes hotter with every minute they spend together--for better or worse.  One thing's for certain, the two media magnets can't deny their explosive chemistry, but will life in the spotlight ultimately bring Trace and Taryn togther or force them apart? 

***This contemporary romance new adult novel is for mature audiences.  The language alone would make a sailor blush (the guy's a rapper, remember?) so 18+ only, please.

Michelle Lynn

Michelle moved around the Midwest most of her life, transferring from school to school before settling down in the outskirts of Chicago ten years ago, where she now resides with her husband and two kids. She developed a love of reading at a young age, which helped lay the foundation for her passion to write. With the encouragement of her family, she finally sat down and wrote one of the many stories that have been floating around in her head. When she isn’t reading or writing, she can be found playing with her kids, talking to her mom on the phone, or hanging out with her family and friends. But after chasing around twin preschoolers all day, she always cherishes her relaxation time after putting the kids to bed.

Nevaeh Lee

Nevaeh’s first exposure to writing began in a middle school creative writing class. She was reprimanded for composing a politically incorrect story and forced to re-write about a “safer” topic. Being the writing rebel that she is, Nevaeh always likes to push the envelope a bit and never re-writes, unless her editor insists on it.

When she’s not writing, Nevaeh is a freelance book editor ;).  And though she spends a good chunk of her time reading, writing, and editing, she can also be found hanging out with her family and taking road trips, exploring the area around wherever she happens to be living at the time. Even though “home” will always be Texas, she has lived in several different states and countries, but currently resides in the DC metro area.

Genre:  Contemporary Romance
Expected Release Date:  January 6, 2014 


~ Synopsis ~

Five years ago, Embry Jacobs ran...

She ran from a past that still hasn’t let her go, but her dream of becoming a lawyer is stronger than her fear of confronting that past. Embry’s sole focus is to get through law school—with the help of her best friend, Morgan—and make something of the broken girl she became. Not thinking about falling in love, being in a relationship or even entertaining the idea of romance, Embry is moving forward one day at a time.

Luke Brody is charming and sexy, and has a past of his own. He wants nothing more than to put his demons to rest and move on with his life. But, when Embry enters the picture, is he destined to repeat those same mistakes?

Blindsided by their instant attraction, neither Luke nor Embry are prepared for the feelings they’re developing. But will it all be for nothing?

Will they let their pasts destroy them, or will they risk everything to fight for their relationship when it all comes undone?

Blog Tour and Giveaway: Three Broken Promises by Monica Murphy

~ Synopsis ~

Breakout New Adult sensation Monica Murphy returns with a hot new contemporary romance--a heartfelt story of second chances, forgiveness, and redemption.

Commitment. That’s what I really want from Colin. Ever since my brother, Danny, died in Iraq, Colin’s done so much to help me, including giving me a job at his popular restaurant so I can leave my crappy waitressing job at the strip joint. But lying in bed with him every night to comfort him from his horrible nightmares isn’t enough anymore. I know he feels guilty about Danny’s death, about not going to Iraq, but I can’t keep living this double life.

I love him desperately, but he's got so many demons, and if he can't open up to me now, then he'll never be the real partner I need him to be.  I gave him a month, and now I'm out of here.  If he truly loves me like he says, he knows where to find me.

 



~ Review ~
5 Star Review



OMG this book was amazing!  I absolutely loved Colin and Jen. I never did get enough of them in One 
Week Girlfriend and Second Chance Boyfriend.


Jen is wanting to break free of Colin. She doesn't want to be his obligation and burden.  She wants his love and commitment.  She doesn't know how to get that from him.  He is constantly keeping her on the friend level.  Also she is hiding a huge secret that she is scared he will hate her.  Will she finally break down and tell him everything? Or will she do what she is best at and RUN?



Colin has never wanted a relationship.  One night stands are the best because you don't have to show who you really are.  You don't have to open up and let people in.  He has seen how a marriage works between his parents and is determined to never have a relationship.  He wants Jen though, but doesn't know how to have her and not ruin their friendship.  He feels guilty for letting her and her family down.  Is he only helping her out of guilt?  Or are his feelings more?



This is a story of two very broken people.  They both harbor a lot of guilt over things they have done.  Will the help of someone else forgiving them be the answer they need to forgive themselves? Or do they need to move on individually to learn to forgive themselves?  Monica Murphy has made another incredible story!  I cannot wait to read more of her books!!

Blog Tour and Giveaway: Rome by Jay Cronwover



Title: Rome (Marked Men #3) 
Author: Jay Crownover 
Genre: New Adult 
Publication Date: January 7, 2014 
Publisher: William Morrow an imprint of HarperCollins Publishing 
Event organized by: Literati Author Services, Inc.


~ Synopsis ~


Cora Lewis is a whole lot of fun, and she knows how to keep her tattooed bad boy friends in line. But all that flash and sass hide the fact that she’s never gotten over the way her first love broke her heart. Now she has a plan to make sure that never happens again: She’s only going to fall in love with someone perfect.
Rome Archer is as far from perfect as a man can be. He’s stubborn and rigid, he’s bossy and has come back from his final tour of duty fundamentally broken. Rome’s used to filling a role: big brother, doting son, super soldier; and now none of these fit anymore. Now he’s just a man trying to figure out what to do with the rest of his life while keeping the demons of war and loss at bay. He would have been glad to suffer it alone, until Cora comes sweeping into his life and becomes the only color on his bleak horizon.
Perfect isn’t in the cards for these two, but imperfect might just last forever . . .




~ Our Review ~
5 Star Review by Annie

Rome is what every NAUGHTY THOUGHT is made of.  I love all the Marked Men, but the older Archer brother puts them all to shame. He may not be marked with tattoos and piercings, but he is definitely marked in a different way.

Rome is back from war, but now he is left to battle the most important fight of a lifetime, his demons.  He feels all alone, so he turns to the one thing that will not judge him. Booze! During this battle he comes across Cora, a spit fire who doesn't take shit from anyone.

Cora is bright and colorful on the outside, but tray on the inside.  She was burned and has never fully let her heart heal.  No one will hurt her again.  Holding out hope for Mr. Perfect, she pushes every guy away.  Instead of finding her own happiness she tries to save everyone else from their own misery and pain.

There was a couple times in this book when I just wanted to shake the crap out of them and tell them to get it together.  Between Rome and his constant battle with himself, and Cora with her need to make everyone else's life ok.  The bad times were bad, but the good times....were GOOD.  oh to be a fly on the bedroom wall.  Their sex was what good porn was made of!

Way to go Jay Crownover.  The Archer men again took a hold of my life and made me fall even more in love.  I give this book 5 AH-MAZING stars.  Can't wait for the next book in the series to see what happens to Nash.




~ About the Author ~

I’m supposed to share interesting details about myself so that my readers get to know me so here we go in no particular order: I’m an natural redhead even though I haven’t seen my real hair color in years, I’m a big fan of tattoos and have a half sleeve on either arm and various other pieces all over the place, I’ve been in the bar industry since I was in college and it has always offered interesting insight into how men and women interact with each other, I have 3 dogs that are all crazy, I live in Colorado and love the snow, I love music and in all reality wish I could be a rock star not a writer or a bartender but I have zero talent so there is that. I love to write, love to read and all I’m interested in is a good story with interesting characters that make the reader feel something.

It was only one moment. But that's all it takes. As tragedy strikes and threatens to tear them apart, can Tenley learn to trust and love? Can Jayden prove that he will fight for her? Or will he betray her like she has been her whole life?
