Cover Reveal: The Lie by Karla Sorensen

 

Release Date: September 15

Rule number 1 for the team owner’s daughter? Don’t date the players.
Especially not hotheaded tight ends with tattoos and impulse control problems. 
That's why Dominic Walker is completely off my radar. Sort of.
Babysitting the team troublemaker when he's forced to volunteer for the foundation where I work means I can't exactly avoid him.
I wish I had though. Because once I get to know Dominic, it's almost impossible to ignore the feelings he brings out in me. 
Pretty soon, I'm breaking all my rules. I just have to hope he doesn't break my heart in the process.

Meet Karla Sorensen

Well, let’s see ... I’m a wife and a mother. If the things that I write bring a smile to someone's face, then I've done my job.  


I am obsessed with Outlander (both the books and the show). I’m almost exclusively a romance reader, which means some people will never consider me a literary snob. 


If I could meet one historical figure, it would be Jane Austen. I received my Bachelors in Public Relations and worked in health care marketing before I had my babies. 


I hate Twitter. I do it, but I hate it. Also, if you want to get on my good side, bring me wine and I'll love you forever.

Cover Reveal: Nightshade by Keri Lake

 




Title: Nightshade
Author: Keri Lake
Genre: Dark Gothic Paranormal Romance
Cover Design: Hang Le
Release Date: October 25, 2021


BLURB

My father called them messengers.
He once told me they walked among us, and that somewhere in this dark and godless city, there shined a faint sliver of hope. I had only to look for the signs.

Well, I’ve spent my whole life investigating the inexplicable, and all I've found are the unsettling vestiges of iniquity - the evidence of another world shrouded by the obscure. Purgatory to some, where depravity hides in shadows, and girls like me are little more than delicious bites of temptation.

Others call it Nightshade.

This peculiar place is where I first met the cold and callous recluse living in a decaying cliffside cathedral. Jericho Van Croix is the epitome of everything I’ve been told to fear. A raven-winged harbinger who wears intrigue like a warm black cloak. An enigma that I’m determined to unravel – even if it means getting closer than I should.

One touch is forbidden. Even so much as a kiss would be my demise. But the sin on his lips burns me up like a wild flame, and his growing infatuation weakens my resolve.

Giving him what he wants, though, will mean no chance for redemption, or escape. What's worse is, the signs I’ve followed yet failed to see all these years begin to unmask a terrifying reality:

That falling may be my only saving grace.

Her trust was shattered, her hate raging on with each second. She would never look at me the same again.
Our past was full of pain and lies that could never be forgotten.
I knew what I did was irreparable, but I refused to let her walk away without another chance.
I should have left things in the past.
I didn’t.
I couldn’t.
I won’t.
I needed her. Even if it cost me everything.

Playing With Words by Kelly Elliott

 



Playing with Words by Kelly Elliott is now live!



Hudson Higgins had fond memories of Boggy Creek from his childhood. So what better place to escape New York City for a few weeks to finish up a book that was nearing deadline than the small town in New Hampshire his parents visited nearly every summer.

What he couldn't have known was how his life would be turned upside down when he walked into Greer Larson's bookstore his first day in town.

Greer Larson lived a quiet life in her hometown of Boggy Creek. She had worked nearly her whole adult life to make her dreams of owning her bookstore come true--and now, Turning Pages was her everything. She lived, eat, and breathed the success of owning her own business.

That is, until a stranger came to town and showed Greer that there was more to life than simply working. A friendship between Greer and Hudson quickly formed over their love of books and the outdoors.

When Greer's bookstore is threatened, Hudson soon realizes he hasn't simply fallen for the charm of Boggy Creek and Greer, he'd fallen in love...with both the town, and the woman who stole his heart from the moment she first smiled at him.

Playing with Words is book two in the Boggy Creek Valley series and is a stand alone novel.

I had been intrigued by Greer since we first met her in the first book of this series, and Kelly Elliott did not disappoint in this story for her. Greer’s world is her bookstore but when Hudson enters the store, all bets are off. I love how real their whole meeting felt but what I really adored is the connection that these two formed right out the gate. There is just something magical about these two and as this story plays out, love has no timeline and love will make you protect those who mean the most to you. There is a layer of intrigue and twists that are a part of this story that just add to the depth of it on top of the romance between Greer and Hudson. They have such epic chemistry that you could not help but swoon with them. This story is very much a cozy read that you just don’t want to end. I found myself lost in Boggy Creek and wishing I could be there too. I am excited to see what more will come from this series and these small town hearts!

Holy emotional ride! I am fairly new to the Dark and Dirty Sinners world but I devoured the entire series before reading this one and I was dying to know how Storm’s story was going to play out. It really hits you with the feels with intense moments! But Kiera. Oh that girl is something fierce and I adored her for it. Watching both her and Storm grow throughout this book was beyond stunning. Their connection is everything though. No matter what has been going sideways for them. Storm was on my naughty list in the prior books of the series but seeing him and being in his mind, oh my heart. You feel for him but you understand him so much more.
This story has a great level of twists and turns and I adored every moment of it. It was raw and gritty with intense passion and so much more. I have come to fall in love with Akeroyd’s words and I cannot get enough. I highly recommend this book and this series as a whole. It is unique and everything I need for a twisted MC series!



Excerpt

"You could have come to me," she mumbled miserably. "I could have helped."

"How?" I countered. "It was ridiculous. Crazy." I pulled back. "I got weak. I got stupid. I got reckless. When shit got hard, and I wanted to get high, I’d jack off instead. The sex…" I ground my teeth. "It didn’t happen as often as you think. When it did, it was after a meltdown, after I got high. 

"I’ll never be able to earn your forgiveness, Keira. Never. And that’s okay." I released a shaky breath. "I realized that tonight. You don’t have to forgive me, but that doesn’t mean I’ll stop trying. I won’t. I’ll never stop. If I have to spend the rest of my life— It doesn’t matter. Nothing does apart from you and Cyan."

"Does it hurt?"

I frowned. "Jacking off twenty times a day?"

"No." Her voice was small. "I asked you before and you said no, but I don’t believe you. The padlock… does it hurt?"

It hadn’t back then. But I’d upped the gauge with another custom-built device. 

"Yes." It fucking ached like a son of a bitch. 

"So, instead of drugs, and rather than jack off or fuck to escape the drugs, you’re self-harming?" 

"It’s working."

"You’re self-harming," she repeated grittily. 

"I haven’t had sex in months. I haven’t jacked off in months either. It’s working, Keira."

"It’s not a sustainable solution."

"It’s breaking the habit. I won’t cheat on you again. I won’t. I can’t."

"Even if I never take you back? Even when I get a boyfriend?" 

My jaw ached with how hard I clenched down. "Even then."

A shocked breath escaped her. "Why are you doing this? Why now?"

"Because you leaving me… I hit rock bottom. I’ve been there so many fucking times, K. So many times. I’m so sick of being on the ground, looking up. Trying to fix my fuck ups, to make shit right. I can’t do it again. I can’t. I can’t want to end it all again—"

"Suicide?" she interrupted, a horrified gasp to her words. 

"You’ve no idea how many times I almost tried. I don’t want you to know. I just… I did the best I could, and that was nothing in comparison to what you brought to our family. I let you down. I let Cy down. But I won’t do it again."

The sound of an engine rumbled to life, half pipes with it, and when a solitary light pierced the kitchen window, I wasn’t altogether surprised that the biker was coming to our house. I’d given the security guard a heads up to let a brother through the gates, just in case Rex or Digger arrived, but now wasn’t the best timing. 

Not when, finally, I felt like Keira saw me for what I truly was. 

A nothing. 

A nobody. 

An addict. 

Worthless. 

Trash.

And yet she still held me. 

She didn’t push away from me. 

She didn’t act as if my touch were poison to her. 

I swallowed, affected more than she could know by her generosity, her selflessness. 

How didn’t she realize how perfect she was? 

How beautiful a person she was?

It hurt me. It physically hurt me. Which was why, there and then, I vowed that would be part of my recovery too. 

I’d fix me, I’d try to fix us, but I’d fix her as well. 

She was the priority. 

She was always the priority.

And with an epic bang, this series is over! But oh what a ride this one was. The Spy has so many levels of twists and turns that keep you on your toes with such sizzle, I could not put it down once I started and oh my stars, Lark nailed it. This culmination of the series and how it all tied together into this final book was INSANE! The fun part about this book, who is The Spy? While you fall down this rabbit hole that Lark has created, you are thrown into the secrets, the twists and all the answers you have been seeking since book one. To say that this book is intense is an understatement and I think this one is my favorite of the entire series because of the fact it is the icing on the cake book! If you waited to read this series till all the books came out, trust me, you are in for a wild ride. If you are like me and read them one at a time as they are released, your mind will be blown! Buckle up!


Excerpt

During all the time I spend with Nix, I’ve been letting myself believe that lies of omission aren’t really lies. And the lies I do tell her—my name and where I’m from—don’t really matter compared to the deeper truths I lay bare. She knows my genuine feelings, my fears, my likes, and dislikes . . . things that seem so much more essential than my fake history.

Perversely, I liked watching her talk to my mom. I saw my mother look Nix over with the slightly raised eyebrow that indicated she had encountered an object of interest. It would have killed me to see my mom dismiss Nix as boring.

Best of all was the knowledge that Nix had sought me out that day. That she had gone looking all over campus for a purpose that seemed glaringly clear the moment we were alone.

Her eyes roved over me. She had the hunter’s determination to bring me down and not go home again starving.

I’ve been wanting to fuck Nix since the moment she stepped out of the underground pool. Hell, I might even have felt that first flaring lust the moment I laid eyes on her crossing campus. That burst of sudden heat . . . it wasn’t all hatred.

I tell myself I can’t do it, that it would be wrong to sleep with her under false pretenses.

But every second I’m around her, I’m losing control. It’s like the day I boxed Dean—each glance from her eyes, or bite of her lip is like another blow, knocking me senseless. Tearing off my veneer and taking me back to the man I used to be: prince of the West Coast. My father’s right-hand man, running his business, preparing to take over someday. Surrounded by women and friends, wealth pouring in . . .

That man had confidence. He didn’t have to hide. He never pretended to be weaker, shyer, lesser. He never compromised his integrity with lies.

I want to be myself with Nix, not this alias. I want her to know me, not him.

I want to fuck her as myself.
