Two things are certain in life for Hadley Walker… When you love someone, they will hurt you. If you trust someone, they will disappoint you.
Orphaned, alone, and abused for most of her twenty-six years, Hadley lives in a world without hope.
Unsure if she’s capable of love, Hadley guards her feelings closely. Her only relationship exists in the fantasies she has for a man she feels a mysterious connection to, only her heart knows better than to explore any feelings she has for Miller Genetti.
When Miller is detained abroad, he somehow receives a letter Hadley never intended to mail. Though they’ve never spoken face to face, Hadley and Miller develop feelings for each other. It’s all on paper, not real. Or so Hadley thinks, until Miller is released, and shows up on her doorstep to declare his love.
Soon after they passionately unite, the nightmares from Miller’s captivity and the terror of Hadley’s childhood clash. When Hadley’s name is discovered on a flash drive belonging to a human trafficking ring, secrets are revealed that threaten to rip the new couple apart.
Cut too deep is an emotional journey of a broken girl, struggling to overcome abuse, and accept the love she desperately wants, but isn’t convinced she deserves.

TRAGIC
DESIRES by A.M. Hargrove
February 2014
BOOK
SUMMARY:
My name is Gemini Sheridan. At least
that’s what I thought it was for 23 years. Then one day a slight adjustment on
the wheel of my mountain bike set into motion a series of catastrophic events
that changed my life forever. Now I’m running from the headaches that threaten
to destroy me… from the assassins that threaten to kill me… from the truth that
exposes who I really am… and from the man that wants to save me. Because he now
owns my heart and I fear him above all others.
My name is Drexel Wolfe and I’m a private
investigator. Nothing ever stands in the way of what I want because when I see
something I just take it. All of that changed the night my life collided with
Gemini Sheridan’s and now everything is one hot damn mess. And the worst part
of it all is that I’m trying to save her ass and I don’t know why the hell I’m
even bothering. Well, that’s not exactly true. Fact is, I can’t stop thinking
about her. She’s crawled into every thought I own, asleep or awake. I have
serious plans for her that include making her mine. What she doesn’t know is
that when I play, I play for keeps. Nothing and no one will get in my way or
stop me… not even Gemini Sheridan herself.

Information
One day, on her way home
from work as a sales manager, A. M. Hargrove, realized her life was on fast
forward and if she didn't do something soon, it would quickly be too late to
write that work of fiction she had been dreaming of her whole life. So,
she rolled down the passenger window of her fabulous (not) company car and
tossed out her leather briefcase. Luckily, the pedestrian in the direct
line of fire was a dodge ball pro and had über quick reflexes enabling him to
avoid getting bashed in the head. Feeling a tad guilty about the near miss,
A. M. made a speedy turn down a deserted side street before tossing her crummy,
outdated piece-of-you-know-what laptop out the window. She breathed a
liberating sigh of relief, picked up her cell phone, called her boss and quit
her job. Grinning, she made another call to her hubs and told him of her
new adventure (after making sure his heart was beating properly again).
So began A. M. Hargrove's
career as a YA/NA and Adult Romance writer. Her books include the following:
Edge of Disaster, Shattered Edge and Kissing Fire (The Edge Series); The
Guardians of Vesturon series (Survival, Resurrection, Determinant, reEmergent
and Beginnings); Dark Waltz and Tragically Flawed.
Other than being in love
with writing about being in love, she loves chocolate, ice cream and coffee and
is positive they should be added as part of the USDA food groups.

BLOG TOUR for author Kimberly Knight's Tattooed Dots... Check out my 4 star review
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Easton Crawford put his modeling career and good looks
before his marriage until it was over. Years later, he is finally learning how
to be the father his daughter needed him to be. He’s not looking for a new mom
for his daughter—just nightly casual hook-ups. When his best friend, Avery,
convinces him that a good way to meet a lot of single women is to go on a
single’s cruise, Easton finds more than just a hook-up when he meets a fellow
cruiser, Brooke.
Brooke Bradley has taken care of her younger sister, Bailee,
for most of their lives. While their mother was enjoying not being a mother,
Brooke became the adult in the household at thirteen. She had always taken care
of the people in her life, especially her boyfriend, Jared. If it wasn’t for
Brooke, Jared wouldn’t know how to function throughout the day.
When Brooke’s best friend, Nicole, gives her a gift of going
on a cruise without telling her that it’s a single’s cruise, will Brooke find
someone willing to be her constant and finally leave Jared?
Brooke and Easton learn that people are brought into their
lives for many reasons. Over time, they find out what those reasons are. Some
are to be a temporary acquaintance while others are there for life.
My thoughts......
Let me say, I wasn’t a fan of Easton at first aside from his
good looks, he was a cocky son of gun, who wanted nothing more than a casual
hook up, he didn’t treat women the best BUT.... he proved himself worthy. Sure,
in the beginning, he was your typical male whore, who ended up getting married
at a young age. Using his good looks, he continued to sew his wild oats. As
time went on he realized his mistakes. . His world is literally turned upside
down during his divorce. Then something very unexpected happens and Easton has
no choice to step up to the plate. At
this point, I started falling in love with him more and more. He is a great
father, friend and despite a wild past, he proves to be a great boyfriend and one
would be lucky to have. We have all
experienced love. I believe that there are different levels of love. I also
believe that when we meet that one person, we experience a love that is just
indescribable. Some people are lucky and meet that special someone the first
time around. Some of us have to weed through the bad to finally discover the
good.
When he meets Brooke, his world is turned upside down again.
She makes him want to be a better man, a better father a better person. He has
never wanted anything so bad before in his life and for the first time he finds
himself pinning for a women he knows he can’t have.
Brooke is stuck in a comfortable relationship with Jared,
which her best friend isn’t too fond of. While on the cruise she meets Easton.
Telling him that she is in a relationship and there for moral support and
nothing more, she tells him like it is. During the cruise, they discover the
start of a great friendship but as the days go by she finds her doing everything
in her power to keep those boundaries in the friend zone. The more she hangs
out with Easton, the more she realizes how unhappy she been and the harder she
fights the temptation of Easton. Trying to understand her conflicting feelings,
she tries to distance herself. When she returns home, she finds her answers.
Slowly exploring new relationships, both Easton and Brooke
are finding themselves in a place they have never been before. Just as things
are going great for both of them, they are faced with some life altering news. Brooke
stays positive the entire time while Easton realizes that aside from his
daughter, he could potentially lose his one true love.
Brooke is a strong, sweet and beautiful person, how can you
not fall in love with her character. I love how much she was able to affect
Easton in all the right ways.
This is a beautiful story about, finding yourself, finding
love when you least expect it and understanding how hard love and life can be
and in the end it was worth every ounce of strength and tears.
Kimberly Knight did a fantastic job on this story and its
characters. I am hoping there is a book two in the works. I want to see where
Easton, Brook and peanut end up as well as Avery and Nicole.

Gabby Revealed by Amy Gregory
Title: Gabby Revealed (Finding Perfect #2)
Author: Amy Gregory
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Publication Date: March 25, 2014
Cover Design: The Killion Group, Inc.
Event Organized By: Literati Author Services, Inc.
Synopsis
Gabby James didn’t have the idyllic childhood many in her little hometown of Renlend, Kansas had. High school was a living hell, but when she graduated she couldn’t bring herself to leave Renlend. The town was her prison, but her family’s bookstore, The Looking Glass, was her one true love. It was the place she could run to, and escape the prying eyes of the ones who taunted her.
Shane Compton was a literary agent in one of the most prestigious publishing houses in New York City. He found no greater rush than finding the next big talent, someone who could take the written word and turn it into an art form. In the span of one rude phone call Shane was drawn into the mystery of just who the fiery new author from Kansas was. When everyone else in the office refused to deal with her, Shane willingly accepted the challenge. There was no logic to the madness, but every time he had contact with her, she drove him wild.
Gabby tried every trick in the book to keep Shane at arm’s length, but he had made good on his promise to come to Kansas. He wanted to pull her out of anonymity, he wanted her in the public eye. Now here he stood, on the sidewalk in front her bookstore, and one look told her he was everything she was afraid he’d be. Too bad she was anything but who he thought she was.
Gabby quickly discovers Shane has more on his mind than just books and with a little help from an ornery matchmaker, he shows her a whole new life through her looking glass.
About the Author When asked ‘when do you have time to write’, Amy Gregory simply laughs. The real answer is, “in bits and pieces”. She and her husband live in Kansas City with their three fantastic kids that keep them running in three very different directions. Because she sits so much, she always carries a notebook with her at all times. She has an off the wall, snarky, off the cuff sense of humor that often shocks even those who’ve known her for years. And she loves that her children have all been blessed that ability to make others laugh as well. At least she’s grateful most of the time! Her husband often teases her about how she “makes this stuff up” when he’s reading a piece of her work. … The answer—“it just comes to me when I’m typing”. Scary thought, huh!
Distractions by J.L. Brooks

No one knows this better than Violet Phillips. When her beloved mentor goes missing, she suspects murder, which sends her spiraling out of control and away from the stable life she has built for herself. Soon, her past will begin seeping out with a vengeance.
“I will teach you how this game is played.”
Self-destruction threatens to consume Violet when a handsome neighbor that has been watching her from afar intervenes on her behalf. Shepard Leone may be six years younger, but it does not stop him from seducing her ears as well as her heart.
“Fascinating how much life can change in twenty-four hours.”
When Violet is forced to go down a dark road into a past where she must confront the demons that nearly destroyed her, will she be unable to deviate? Struggling with the loss of her missing friend, Shepard will find a way in and reawaken desires that she thought were forever lost.
