BLOG TOUR STOP: All the Pretty Poses by M. Leighton

All the Pretty Poses 

by M. Leighton



BLURB


He never wanted to be a hero…until she needed him to be.

Strength… It took Kennedy Moore years to put her life back together after Reese Spencer shattered it. But she did. Now, years later, strong and independent, she is in pursuit of a single dream—to dance with the Altman American Dance Theater. Unfortunately, Kennedy is learning that a girl from nowhere with no money and no contacts might never be able to reach her goal.

That is, until Reese reappears, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that Kennedy just can’t refuse. In exchange for working on his yacht for a few short weeks, he’ll get her an audition with the famous dance troupe. All Kennedy has to do is keep her head down, work hard and resist Reese. That sounds easy enough, right?

Weakness… Reese doesn’t want to make it easy for Kennedy. Seeing her again has started a fire in his blood—an unwelcome one. It took him years to forget about her before, so this time he has a plan. It’s simple: Get Kennedy on his yacht, seduce her, get her out of his system, move on with his life. That sounds easy enough, right?

But the one thing Reese didn’t plan for was Kennedy herself—a girl so strong yet so broken, she makes him want to rescue her, to take care of her. To save her. Even if he has to save her from himself.


MY REVIEW

5 Stars!
It's no secret that M. Leighton is one of my all time FAVORITE indie authors!  Not only is she an awesome author, but an awesome person who I'm blessed to call a friend.  

With her latest release, All the Pretty Poses, Michelle once again won my heart with sexy scenes, hot guys, tension, and above all else LOVE. 

In All the Pretty Poses (The Pretty Series Book 2) we follow Reese and Kennedy a couple who have a history with each other, that didn't end well. As the story develops with these two dynamic characters, we find that there is more than one side to EVERY story and they will have to discover them all in order to find their happily ever after.

As in all her books, Michelle doesn't disappoint.  Reese is a totally scrumptious alpha male, who won't take 'no' for an answer.  Kennedy is an independent woman who can't resist the offer to further her career that Reese puts in front of her.  The tension is tight and the love scenes are HOT, but even more than all that, the story is so intricately written that it keeps the reader guessing and discovering along with the characters.  

You won't want to miss this one!  It's another 5 stars for M. Leighton!

BOOK BIRTHDAY: The Fly House by Misty Provencher

So...as some of you may know, I am blessed to get to work with some FANTASTIC authors as their BETA reader.  A BETA reader takes an unpublished book and reads it, giving the author feedback on everything from typos and word usage to dialogue and timeline issues.  This is something that I LOVE to do, because I feel I can really give back to the authors that I love!  

 One of my most recent BETA reads, was today's BOOK BIRTHDAY book: The Fly House by Misty Provencher!   Now, having read this book, let me tell you that it is an amazing mix of romance, post apocalyptic, sci-fi, and fantasy.  Sound impossible and crazy?  It's not, its phenomenal and you all need to check it out!! :)


The Fly House
by Misty Provencher



BLURB

The Earth’s atmosphere is swiss cheese. To avoid the oncoming oxygen crisis, black-sheep heiress, Maeve Aypotu, has been chemically suspended in one of the Archive’s plush, multi-million dollar chambers, located underground. Scientists claim they can patch everything up in about 15 years, so, just to be safe, the Archive programmed the chambers to open in 17 years.

And then, everything on Earth went wrong. 

Up on the surface, Pluto has taken control of the planet, scorching away all signs of human civilization and reconstructing the environment to suit the Plutian’s lucrative dragon trade. Humans that survived weree forced to be laborers, divided into five Houses, each handling a different stage of the dragon harvest. Survival and repopulation have become a currency among the Houses. To make matters worse, Rha Diem, the rugged leader of the Fly House, has gotten word that the cost of existence just rose to a price that no human should have to pay. And now there is a whole Archive of survivors that will be expected to pay too.

Learning to trust one another may need to start small—with the fusion of one powerful Rha and one bad ass black sheep—before a damaged race can even hope to regain control of their alien Earth.

BLURB


For sixteen years, my life has been normal. Piedsville, Oklahoma isn't the tourist mecca of the world, but it's where I live. It's my junior year and I've known everyone since Kindergarten, everyone except her, Pru Phelan. She walked into my English class, my heart stopped. I'd never heard the name Phelan before, so I Googled it and found Phelan means wolf. What I didn't know, she was a werewolf and soon my destiny would change.

 This is the story about the prophecy of the Great Wolf and how it relates to me. I'm Abel Casey, and I am the Great Wolf.

 The Legacy of Kilkenny is a young adult story about werewolves, friendship, family, and fear.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR


I've thought of myself as a writer for as long as I can remember. Being a grown up with a grown up job and a family to raise, left me with little time to write. Everyone is grown up now, and I get to do something I want to do. My love of young adult books helped mold me into the paranormal writer I am today.

The Legacy of Kilkenny Saga is near and dear to my heart. When I started the series, my own son was a junior in high school and Abel has many of his characteristics. Each character has a little of my daughter and son in them. I wanted the series to be about friendship and family, two things that are important to me. The first book really takes the reader on a journey with Abel as he matures. By the time you get to The Great Wolf, you will see a transformed young man and the decisions how he handles the pressure of being a werewolf. I hope you enjoy the Legacy books,

Thank you to all of the readers who have fallen for my wolf pack!

RECENT RELEASE: Illusions Begin by N. L. Greene

Illusions Begin 
by N.L. Greene
Released: January 14, 2014




BLURB


Katherine Rebecca has always done exactly what was expected of her. Her prim and proper upbringing taught her the importance of family, sacrifice, and social stature. She has followed in her parents’ footsteps, being trained and groomed daily almost from birth, to take over the family law firm. It was never a question of IF she wanted to but WHEN she would take the reins of the company. She worked rigorously toward that predetermined goal her entire life. She gave up friends, boyfriends, and an exciting social life in order to propel herself through school and college. Katherine Rebecca strives to please her parents. More than anything, she basked in their praise and approval. But now, at 21 years old, she finds herself leading a life that is nothing like the life she imagined for herself.

Becky has always possessed a deep love of magic. Ever since she was a small child she has been fascinated with magicians, illusions, mystery, and the vague hope that there was some sort of real magic in the world. But this is a secret no one knows, or at least that’s what she thought. Until one day Becky finds a mysterious business card in her pocket that leads her to an equally mysterious man. He opens up a whole new world of possibilities to her, one with a tantalizing proposition that she never thought imaginable.

Could magic actually be real?
