LipSmackin' GoodBooks has the Cover Reveal for September Ends by Hunter S.Jones

September Ends by Hunter S. Jones Cover Reveal


SEPTEMBER ENDS
By
Hunter S. Jones & an Anonymous English Poet
Overweight and dull. That’s how I felt.
My grandfather and brother died. I hid inside a black cave deep in my soul, numbed for a decade on meds, booze, and bad love, married to my glorious career.
My name is Liz Snow, from Atlanta, Georgia, and this is my story.
One hot summer I fell hopelessly in love with successful attorney, Peter William Hendrix III, from Chattanooga, Tennessee. We bonded because of Shelley and Keats. Pete introduced me to the works of modern English poet, Jack O. Savage, It was like The Poet was drawing us together through his blogs and poems, like he had a message for my life and my love with Pete Hendrix. 
I lived it in my heart and soul.
It all went tragically wrong once I learned Pete’s secret.
As September ends I jet to London, England with an unstable mind and a broken heart. Pete Hendrix betrayed me big time. There was no time for revenge. My life was a kaleidoscope of stabbing shards of pain.
London ignored me. Maybe I didn't exist. I was lost and lonely in a flat in Kensington. 
I hear that Jack O. Savage will make a rare public appearance. I wrangle an invitation to the art gallery where he is reading. I was curious. Somehow, he was the cause of my trouble. 
The rock-star-with-words was even more damaged than I.
Jack O.Savage, The Poet became my friend.
Then, an unexpected kiss at a county fair on a perfect English summer's day changed everything forever. Jack the man became my lover. 
Magic.
My elusive dream of a lifelong love began.
If Pete was what I'd always wanted, Jack was what I always needed.
The mystery unraveled as the kaleidoscope of my broken life evolved and I found myself living a rainbow of perfect bliss.
Sometimes when you believe it’s the end, it’s only the beginning.
September Ends is a contemporary romance with erotic and supernatural elements bound together by poetry. It reveals the intricate web of passion and desire which entangles Liz Snow, Pete Hendrix and Jack O. Savage. The story is told through Liz Snow’s diary, Jack O. Savage’s poetry, and from letters sent across the Atlantic. Traveling throughout the lushness of a summertime in Tennessee and Georgia, September Ends journeys into the elegance of London’s West End and is finally settled in the countryside of Cornwall, England, a decade later.
September Ends is a story of sin, redemption and salvation through love because love happens when we least expect it.

Touch Me by T.H. Snyder


Touch Me Book Snyopsis:
Char is a focused and driven career woman who's had a relationship she would rather choose to forget, but can't. Riley is a pure gentleman who can easily leave the past where it belongs, behind him. Some people believe in fate where others deem it a coincidence. Char and Riley are meant to be together, so life just happens to make sure they are in the right place at the right time. 
But is that enough?
You'll be falling in love with this dynamic duo as they find out who they are and why fate keeps making sure their lives are intertwined. Their differences are what make them all too similar, and throughout the course of their journey there is one thing that always brings them back together...the need for each other's touch.
Touch Me Book Excerpt:
PROLOGUE:
SUNDAY, Sept 2 2012
At this very moment I'm sitting on the back of a Harley, which could very well be stolen, setting off into the sunset with an amazing guy. His strong muscular form is driving and the vibrations of the motor send shivers through our bodies. I recall the past few years I'd spent with my ex-boyfriend, Marc. I close my eyes and rest my chin on this mans back. It's easy to remember the heartache and the pain of loneliness. I can still sense the tears I shed for Marc. My ex never cared for me the way I loved him. I was in love with Marc for years; he played my family and me for fools. Marc stole my heart and stomped on it the day I found him in bed with my best friend Natalie. That day I lost Marc and I lost a huge part of me as well. I told myself I wouldn't give my heart to another man again. The wind ripping through us feels cool against my body and it's tangling through my thick, wavy, brown hair. I scan my eyes looking down along his powerfully built chest and see my arms wrapped around his waist for fear that I may fall. The mere thought of falling in love scared me for too long. My eyes move over his broad left shoulder and I catch a glimpse of my reflection in the side mirror. The twinkle in my big-brown eyes and the smile across my face bring out an emotion as if I'm a little girl just waking up Christmas morning. I have a sense of freedom that I haven't experienced in a long time. I never imagined emotions this strong would consume me again.The past few weeks are nothing I ever imagined. This man in front of me is the one who allows me to be me. He loves me for the person I am, not the woman he wants me to be.

Broken Ever After by Natalie Graham

Review by Kimmi:
Holy Shit!!! Ok, before I even can begin to unleash my profanities and unstable ramblings about Broken Ever After I need to say right now that when I started this book what I thought I was walking into and what I was actually walking into were two TOTALLY different stories. Wowza's!!!! Natalie Graham, congrats girl, at 30% into this story you had me doing an about face and me thinking "Uh Oh....I know everything seems innocent and at high school level but I swore I thought I could hear the 'Jaws' danger tune in the back ground, barely...but it was still there, and I knew in my bones that the shit was about to HIT the fan. Du-Du...Du-Du...Du-Du... As the danger chord got louder I was still not expecting BAM! Even though I sensed it coming when it did hit, it hit like a damn frontal attack!
Damn it, this author had me hot and bothered one second then screaming angry at the inexcusable unfairness life was bombarding upon not only Olivia, but Jamie and the relationship between them that held so much promise.

When the story begins we meet Olivia in her last year of school. With the end of the school year looming ahead Olivia is begining to feel the ugly regret of never facing the fact that she has been in love with her math teacher for over six years and failed to make her feelings known. However, society frowns upon whatever could come from her voicing what she most regrets. Olivia finally makes ammends with the way things will be and how her love for Mr. Matthews will go untold as she goes off to Uni soon. So when Mr. Matthews is the one to make the first move, Olivia is not only caught off gaurd, but totally blown away. 
The beginning of the taboo relationship between Olivia and Jamie aka Mr. Matthews is kept fairly innocent at Olivia's persistance. Olivia is determined to keep their affair secret until their roles of teacher and student are no longer an issue that society can use to make them keep their love hidden. However at the beginning in the transition of their relationship from private to public, Olivia experiences a tragic and horrific incident. This incident, along with childhood secrets she has kept locked away since she was eight years old creates an insecure and unsteady foundation for a love that should, and could have been a beautiful and timeless everlasting love.
I Freaking Know!!!! Right!?!?!?! Natalie creates the perfect "Oh....this is good. No, this is DAMN good!!!" story using a rich writing style that is paired with complex and memorable characters. But WAIT!! You have only made it to 60%, and guess what you hear getting louder? Du-du..Du-du...Du Du Du Du Duhhh...... Holy Jesus, Mary, and Joseph you then realize that this is only the tip of the iceberg. This is when Natalie turns a damn good book into the greatest mindboggling, "Oh my shitness, is this really happening?" debut of the year!!! 
I could write a review on this awesome story a hundred different times and still be unable to truely capture the monumental roller coaster ride this book takes you on. Natalie Graham did NOT hold back while writing this story, there were times when "WOW! This was a perfectly executed debut novel..... wait am I sure this is not a seasoned author?" Only to get a bit further into the story and I was left just sitting back and holding on for dear life while Natalie takes it from good to "Holy hell, WTF.....where the fuck did that come from?"

Natalie, hats off to you babe. You not only surprised the shit out of me, but also gave me the ride of my life by keeping me on my damn toes through the entire book all the way until the very end.
Broken Ever After gets 5-Holy Hell, Someone tell me this isn't happening- Kimmi Stars *****

LipSmackin GoodBooks is your Blog Tour Hostess for In Your Dreams by Gina Ardito

Review by Kimmi:
Wow! I ♥ Paranormal Romance, l really do, however it has been a very long time since we went out on a date. (It's been a while since I've read a paranormal romance....lol) And from page one of In Your Dreams I wouldn't know it has almost been 6 months since I have, this book was exactly what I needed to cleanse the palate if you will.....I forgot how fun and exciting the world of paranormal is!!!
In Your Dreams is a story about Isabella, a former child star that lives in Beverly Hills. She is a woman with strength, will, and determination. Although it seems Isabella has a life dreams are made of, all that glitters is actually tarnished and doesn't shine. After attempting suicide only to be saved by her best friend, Justin, now Isabella is pissed. And yes she is strong, strong willed and determined, but with her sights set on suicide *coughs* a SECOND suicide plan it really is just a sad recipe for a worthless loss.
Bounty hunter Sean Martino is a man that lives in the afterlife and his job is to invade the dreams and help people that have attempted suicide and continue to have suicidal ideations.
And when he struts into Isabella's dream to talk her down off the proverbial edge he is instantly drawn to her. They have a very strong connection that makes Sean try a little harder to keep this woman amongst the living. But Isabella doesn't give a damn, her plans will not be deterred and Sean realizes this woman is going to be a hard one to save. He is used to having a bit of a hard time getting through to suicidal people, and helping them understand their worth. However with Isabella he has his damn hands full. She not only wants to commit suicide, she is damned determined as hell to do it. 
So when Sean's rule bending and breaking ways catch up to him, it couldn't happen at a worse time. But before he is cut off from her and her dreams completely he does leave her with something that will force Isabella to make one of the hardest decisions she's ever made in her life.

Shit that book freaking rocked! With so many things in play and twists at every turn I honestly had no idea where Gina Ardito was leading me, so I just sat back and held on for dear life on this crazy ass roller coaster ride! The entire time I wanted Sean and Isabella to be together so badly, but the chances of that happening were slim to none and I really didn't want to get my hopes up to high for that. Gina did an excellent job using her fantastic ability to weave a compelling story where the odds remain stacked against characters that are complicated, complex, and intriguing.  I absolutely loved Sean and Isabella's story. And Gina Ardito you have captured yourself a lifetime fan! I will make damn sure this series STAYS at the top of my TBR list!
In Your Dreams easily gets 5-Damn I forgot how kick ass paranormal can be!-Kimmi stars ★★★★★
I cannot WAIT to see what Gina has for us next in this series!!!!

Meet The Author, Gina Ardito:
I kill houseplants. There. Now you know one of my greatest shames. I'm not boasting. I just figure that if you're reading this, you're looking for more than how wonderful life is as a writer. So here are a few more of my flaws:
I sing all the time. I sing in the car. In the shower. While I'm grocery shopping. And I headbop while I sing. When I'm not singing, I talk to myself. Just ignore me and move on. You get used to it after a while.
I don't eat my vegetables. Seriously. I'd rather have a cookie.
I'm extremely fair-skinned and could burn under a 60-watt light bulb.
I can't sleep without background noise. If it's too dark and too quiet, all I have are my thoughts. And even *I* don't want to be alone with my thoughts.
Don't ask me to Zumba, line dance, or march in the parade. I have absolutely no rhythm.
Regrets. I have more than a few.
My favorite activity is sleep. I don't clock a lot of hours, but I powernap like a Persian cat and rejuvenate within ten minutes.
I consider shopping and dining out excellent therapy for anything wrong in my life.
My feet are always cold. Always. My husband claims it's because I'm an alien sent to Earth to destroy him. (He might be right about that.)
Coming to my house for a visit? Unless you've given me plenty of advance notice, be prepared. My floor will not be vacuumed, there will be dishes in my sink, and I only make my bed when I change the sheets once a week (I'm climbing back into it ASAP. Why make it?) Housecleaning is not high on my priority list. Okay, to be totally honest, it's not on the list at all.
I can resist anything...except ice cream.
Since this is our first date, I figure I've revealed enough secrets for now. But if you've read this bio and think I might be the author for you, pick up one of my books or stalk my website: www.ginaardito.com and my personal blog: http://ginaardito.blogspot.com.

Holy Hell Yeah She Did!!!!....... LipSmackin' has The Cover Reveal for In Your Dreams by Gina Ardito!!!!!!!!

Awww Shiiiiat!!!! That's hot, dammit I don't care who you are...... That Cover is *smoking* HAWT!
In Your Dreams Book Description:
What sacrifice is too dear when the reward is eternal love?
Disillusioned Afterlife bounty hunter, Sean Martino, is transferred to the Probation Department, where he counsels recent suicide attempters by sending them subliminal messages while they're asleep. But he's unprepared to match wits with former child star, Isabelle Fichetti.
It's not every day a woman gets to date a dead man. Although Sean's appearance in her life isn't exactly a dream-come-true for Isabelle, she likes having him around for scintillating conversation and trips to faraway places--all while never leaving her bed. Still, after years of abuse and abandonment, and with no rosy future to look forward to, she's not about to give up on her plan to kill herself just because he asks.
After breaking the rules one too many times, Sean is cut off from all contact with Isabelle, but not before providing her with a reason to live. Now, she'll choose the path her future takes and confront her greatest fear. Alone.
Unless Sean can find a way to fight for her from the other side...

Tattered Love by Lola Stark

Review by Lil' Max:
Holy Mother of all that is Fucking Hot this shit right here! I Said this shit right here is it! This is one of the hottest debut books I have ever read.  Whew! I swear to Gawd I thought my body was on fire!
Let me tell you right of the bat the two things you will need or need access to rather while reading this book.  First and for most a man,  boyfriend,  husband or booty call to satisfy the damn tingly aching scorching hot Flames that will build up over and over in your body.  If that is not an option for you,make sure you got quick access to that top drawer of your night stand,  you know What I'm sayin? Ok now that we have established that lemme tell you get on into this review.
Scarlett (Scar) is a Sexy, Lil Hot tempered, Tiger in the sac that owns a kick ass tattoo shop.  Her work is impeccable and she had made a name for herself.  She has established a little close knit family with her staff and they all look out for one another. She was screwed over pretty good by her last "boyfriend" and she ain't got time for none of that drama that comes with a relationship!  To her men are pretty much good for only one thing.  Purely physical satisfaction! Until Mace walks through the shop doors to see his brother. Then all logical thought process stops and she is knocked square off her normal game and on her sexy lil ass!
God Lawd have Mercy Mace! This MoFo is sex on a stick dipped in chocolate and of course sprinkled with Tattoos!!  He is a "Bad Boy"!  Motorcycle.  check.  tattoos.  check.  alpha male attitude. check.  Sexy as Fuck! CHECK. CHECK. CHECK.  If he knows he wants something, he's not stopping til he gets it.  No way. No how, but like every "Bad Boy" he's got his issues too.  He is fresh home from the military and ready to figure out his next step in life.  So what better place to start than to reconnect with his brother who just happens to work at Scar's shop!  Mace has encountered some crazy shit during his stent in the service.  Shit that has really skewed his perception of his self worth.
These two tease, tantalize and torture each other until they break! They have the best chemistry in and out of the bed except for their securities.  This book will have you laughing your ass off and needing a cold shower.   Lola did the damn thing and your bat shit crazy if you don't go grab this ASAP. This gets 5+++BadAssScorchingHotDirtyStars!!!!
