Release Day for Can't Go Without (Oasis Waterfall, #2) by Angelisa Stone


Can't Go Without Release Day





Release Day Event




CGW Angelisa Stone 
Book Title: Can't Go Without (Oasis Waterfall, #2)  
Author: Angelisa Stone  
Genre: Contemporary New Adult Romance 
Release Date: March 1, 2014 

Synopsis
“What’s the one thing you can’t go without?”
Tristan O'Donnell has money, women, and all the luxuries that cold hard cash can buy. Tristan's been sucking sunshine right from the monogrammed silver spoon his life was served up on since the day he was born. And quite frankly, he wouldn't want it any other way. He's his mother's pride and joy, his father's right-hand-man, and the envy of every guy around. All Tristan has to do is flash his million dollar smile, give his trademark wink, and he gets what he wants, when he wants, anytime he wants.
Leah Franchetti grinds her fingers to the bone; sculpting, painting, recreating treasures from trash—the very sentiment that defines her life. Her inventive, vindictive, lucrative, and seemingly unforgivable plan allowed her to shortcut her way into the life she always imagined, owning an art gallery, surrounding herself in the comfort of her passion and dreams.
When circumstances force Leah and Tristan to come face-to-face with the past and with Leah’s devious manipulation, truths come flooding forth, destroying those in the present and possibly jeopardizing both of their highly anticipated futures.
Can Tristan overcome Leah’s slander and deception—despite how dangerously close he comes to losing the one thing he can’t go without—money? Will Leah be forced to come clean, knowing she’ll have to live her life with the one thing she can’t go without—her dignity?

excerpt 

Rushing out of Chet O’Donnell’s office, angrily and haughtily, I face-plant straight into a strong, hard chest, covered in a wool, cable-knit sweater, smelling of expensive cologne. People always say that the sense of smell is the most powerful sense, triggering memories and feelings clearer than any of the other four senses combined. Just one smell, one inhalation of that warm, sexy designer cologne and my insides burn, ignite with intense desire and longing. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. No. No. No. “I’m…I’m…I’m…” I stammer, backing up, dropping my head, and looking straight at the ground in humiliation. “I’m…I gotta go,” I mumble, sidestepping out of his way, and heading straight for the elevator. I push the button repeatedly, knowing damn well my actions won’t speed up the elevator’s arrival. Tristan runs to catch me, just as I eye the stairwell and bolt for the door. “Leah! Wait!” he yells; the “wait” is muffled by the sound of the door slamming behind me. I run down only one flight of steps and escape onto the twentieth floor, knowing that Tristan O’Donnell would chase me the entire way down the stairs—if seeing and talking to me were his goals. Tristan O’Donnell always gets what he wants. Always. Hoping that Tristan doesn’t check the video monitors, I walk down the hallway to the other set of stairs and down to the first floor, exiting O’Donnell Industries. Once I hit the street, the winter sun reflecting off the snow burns my eyes. I squint at the pain of the brightness, knowing the sting of my tears has nothing to do with the shining, searing light.

Angelisa Stone is a typical Midwestern wife and mom, frazzled by parenting and housework, and overwhelmed with sports schedules, doctor appointments, and three-dimensional creative projects due “tomorrow morning.” Stone dreams of white sandy beaches, clear-blue waters, and Midori coladas in hand, but realizes that her loving husband and four not-so-perfect children are her real dreams-come-true.

Somehow, despite the odds, Charlie finds a refuge in officer Nick Andrews and in his arms she finds the strength to heal and the courage to move on with life. Nick finds everything that he wasn't looking for in Charlie’s eyes and a fight against a killer that becomes personal.

 

Review by Gia: 
Loverboy is a great read.  This book is a Romance/ThrillerI have not read many book that are Romance/Thrillers.  This is a new genre for me to read.  I was not disappointed it was very good.  It hooked me right from the beginning and I didn't want to out it down.
Charlotte Murphy has a lot on her plate when she meet Nick Andrews.  When they meet she is in the hospital after having escaping a serial rapist and killer.  Nick is a police office who is assigned to guard her.  The serial killer is still on the lose.  Nick get to her guard after she leaves the hospital.  Charlotte has a lot to deal with but along the way she has feelings for Nick and he has feeling for her.  While being afraid of the serial killer coming after her she tries to move on with her life.  
Even though there is a lot of bad stuff going on with Charlotte, her and Nick's story is a sweet one.  I really enjoyed reading Loverboy.  I definitely would recommend it.

Reviews of Irresistible Refrain and Interlude by Michelle Mankin

18366676

Synopsis:
Two years ago everything changed for the remaining members of the Seattle rock band Tempest.

Two years is a long time.

Too long to keep on remembering.

Not nearly long enough to forget.

In trouble with nowhere else to go songstress Lace Lowell seeks refuge with the band during their stop in New York City. It's a risky move for her because they are both there, two impossibly good looking men whose lives are inseparably entwined with hers. One who bruised her heart and one who smashed it into pieces.

Warren “War” Jinkins, the mercurial lead singer of Tempest, has always had a thing for Lace. But then again so does his best friend and band mate.

Bryan “Bullet” Jackson, the sinfully handsome tat-sleeved lead guitarist, has a bad boy reputation befitting his nickname. For the past two years Bullet’s had a rule with the groupies: one time, never twice, leave ‘em satisfied, but always leave ‘em.

Two guys, one woman, and a host of dark secrets all together within the tight confines of a tour bus as the group travels cross country.

Can the past be forgotten and buried?

Will friendships prevail?

Or will the three of them succumb to seductive impulses too addictive to resist?


** Irresistible Refrain is a gritty rock and roll tale intended for mature readers seventeen and up. Contains sexual situations, strong language, and drug use. **


Review by Star:
I really enjoyed this book. It was intriguing. Yes, it is a story we have heard before of the love triangle but definitely not in a traditional way. Two best friends who are in love with the same girl, but the love each has is different for Lace. Bryan or Bullett a guitar player for a up and coming band and War who is the front man are best friends who have loved the same girl for as long as they can remember, in the end this love comes between them. The story is so much more than a love triangle though, it shows the personal struggles of these people and how they overcome the obstacles of life. It is a story of passion and fear, something we can all relate to. It is a great read and will leave you wanting to know more about these people. I would say 4 stars. I can not wait to dive into the next book.  
4 Amazeballs Stars!

Synopsis:
o the talented vocalist Justin Jones, love is merely a game that he plays by his own rules.

But to Bridget Dubois, love and heartache are one and the same.

Broken too many times before, the delicate beauty keeps her emotions carefully concealed. Bridget has her own set of rigid rules when it comes to men. She prefers to avoid them altogether, especially dangerously seductive auburn haired emerald eyed players like Justin.

But the new lead singer of the rising rock band Tempest doesn’t like to be ignored. Justin is used to getting what he wants, and now he’s set his sights on Bridget.

Suddenly, it’s no longer a game.

What do you do when the one you can’t have turns out to be the one you can’t live without?

As the pressure builds, will it temper them or will it shatter them both like fragile crystal?

 
Review by Star:
Awww. I love it, int his book we bring together Bryan and Lace with her new friend she met in rehab. A sweet young mother and of course with War quitting the band they bring in Justin Jones who is the new lead man for Tempest who falls in love with Bridget and her son Carter from the moment he saw her. Breaking through her walls and into her heart has become his goal. This is such a beautiful concept that every girl who is afraid to open her heart dreams of. James is sweet, patient and kind. Bridget has been though a lot and is afraid to let him close. You will enjoy the struggle, the way they open up to each other and learn to let go of the past and move forward. I adore these two people and little Carter. A beautiful must read, and adds to the ongoing story. I hope there is more to come. A definite solid 4.5 stars. 
4.5 Amazeballs Stars!


Author Bio:
Michelle Mankin is the author of the Black Cat Records series of novels.
Romance with subtext.
For many years she worked in the insurance industry as an underwriter. Somehow, the boredom didn't kill her but the hour and hours of looking at facts and figures provided ample time for her mind to wander.
Black Cat Records in Vancouver provides the central backdrop for all of Michelle’s current novels. Love Evolution, Love Revolution, and Love Resolution are a Brutal Strength centered trilogy, combining the plot underpinnings of Shakespeare with the drama, excitement, and indisputable sexiness of the rock 'n roll industry.
Things take a bit of a darker, edgier, once upon a… turn with the Tempest series. These pierced, tatted, and troubled Seattle rockers are young and on the cusp of making it big, but with serious obstacles to overcome that may prevent them from ever getting there.
When Michelle is not prowling the streets of her Texas town listening to her rock music much too loud, she is putting her daydreams down on paper or traveling the world with her family and friends, sometimes for real, and sometimes just for pretend as she takes the children to school and back.

What Goes Around Book Blurb

What if your loved ones kept ending up hurt, in danger, or even dead?

After Randie Duncan’s brother is killed in a suspicious industrial accident, leaving behind a pregnant fiancée, Randie leaves her dream life in NYC and comes home to Cullville, WA to mourn and heal with her sister, but has no intention of staying there permanently.

Following a painful break-up, Joe Baxter guards his heart carefully, but when well meaning friends match him up with Randie, he can’t fight his immediate attraction to her. As they grow closer, Randie finds herself debating the idea of returning to NYC, but Joe isn’t the only one who finds her magnetic. When a suspected stalker attacks her, things heat up. Joe believes the attacker may be the town’s troublemaker and mill owner’s son, Jared, who is paying too much attention to his late friend’s fiancée, but will he be able to prove it before someone else gets hurt?


Excerpt from ‘What Goes Around’:

Randie lifted her head and pulled back slightly, looking up into Joe’s eyes. She wanted him to kiss her and she wanted it to happen now, before the song was over. What she hadn't expected was the effect his kiss would have on her entire body. When Randie looked up at Joe, he had a look of mixed emotion, confusion and interest, and then he did exactly what she was hoping he would do. He bent his head down to hers and softly kissed her lips, once and then again. When he pulled back, she wanted more. She looked from his eyes to his lips and back to his eyes again, and ran her thumb over his bottom lip. She grasped the nape of his neck, running her tongue quickly over her lower lip and opening her mouth just enough. He leaned in again, placing his hands on either side of her face, and when the kiss continued, deepening, he pulled her closer putting his right hand on her back and his left hand in her hair. As the intensity of the kiss grew, so did her body's reaction. They were lost in the feel of the music and the kiss combined, pressing their bodies as close together as they possibly could until finally Joe stopped. He pulled his lips away and kept his eyes closed, as Randie relished in the effect. He leaned his forehead against hers, breathing deeply. He put his arms around her and, pulling her close, buried his face in her neck, lifting her feet just barely off the ground. After a moment, he lowered her, gave her one more quick kiss and then took her hand and led her off the dance floor.

Meet the Characters
Joe is that perfect Hero that any woman could fall for. He's a good wholesome man whose main focus was to marry his high-school sweetheart and raise a family in the small town where they grew up.  Unfortunately for him, she had other plans. He remained close to the buddies he had growing up, Ricky and Al.  Ricky and Al married their own sweethearts, and in a way, all three men were like brothers. In that way, Joe was never without family, his "brothers" and their wives and kids.

 Randie grew up with her older sister, Kay, and younger brother, Tyler. She grew up with dreams of moving to The Big Apple, having no desire to stay in the small town where she was raised. She managed her dream life for over six years. After four years away, her parents were killed in a devastating car accident. Though she came home to mourn, she went back and continued her life in New York, while her sister and her family, and her brother carried on with their lives back at home. Two years later, just before the story begins, her sister's husband and their brother were both killed in an accident at the mill. This time Randie came home, uncertain of what her future may hold, her sole focus being to help her sister, Kay, figure out her future with her kids, and her diner

Blog Tour for Love's Suicude By Jennifer Foor




Title: Love Suicide
Author: Jennifer Foor
Release Date: March 6th 2014



Synopsis:

My heart belonged to Branch and Brooks Valentine since we were children, when we were all too naïve to know what that even meant. We didn’t understand that when we became adults, love would change us. I had to make a choice and when I did, it ripped our bond apart. Brooks left town, and he took half of my heart with him. It was difficult, but I coped and planned my future with Branch. I thought I’d made the right decision. I loved him and I always had.

Brooks showed up to be our best man the night before our nuptials. After drinks and too much reminiscing, I ended up in bed with the wrong brother. To avoid the humiliation and the fact that I’d ruined all of our lives, I left Branch and the only family I’d ever known.

That’s where my story should have ended.

Two years, one beautiful little girl and an abusive marriage later, I was standing there staring at the man that would always hold my heart.

The only question was…
Would I give it to him

I’m Katy Michaels and this is my story.



Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20632153-love-s-suicide


Review by Gia:
Wow!! This book is amazing!!!  This book takes us on a journey which is the life of Katy.  This story had me teary eyed after reading just the prologue.  You know when that happen, you're in for an emotional roller coaster.    It's a crazy ride but well worth it.
I loved the characters.   Branch, Brooks and Katy are wonderfully written.  As I read the story there were points where I loved the characters and points where I was like omg that character sucks but in the end I loved all of them.  Throughout the story I was just hoping everyone would find some sort of happiness. 
There are a lot of twists, that shocked me.  Just when you think everything is ok something happens.  You definitely will not get bored reading Love's Suicide.   There is no cliffhanger.  When you finish reading and get off the emotional roller, you will be happy that you read it. 
5 Amazeballs Stars!!!!
