Release Spotlight | DESIRE AFTER DARK by Marie Force

Synopsis: Tobias “Slim” Jackson has the perfect life as a pilot on Gansett Island in the summer and in Florida in the winter. He’s happiest when he’s in the air, or at least that was the case before last summer when he met Erin Barton, Gansett Island’s newest lighthouse keeper. Now he can’t seem to find his usual enthusiasm for flying, winter in the sunny South or anything that doesn’t include her. 

Erin has been stuck on pause since she lost her twin brother. She’ll tell you herself that her life has been a hot mess since Toby died. After dropping out of law school, she’s flitted from one pointless job to another, existing rather than truly living. Then she comes to Gansett Island to take over as the new lighthouse keeper and meets Slim, who happens to share her beloved brother’s first name. That small coincidence is enough to convince Erin that she needs to spend more time with the dashing pilot—except for the fact that he’s spending the winter more than a thousand miles from her.

Now Slim’s come home to Gansett for the holidays and to hopefully pick up where he left off with Erin. He’s got twelve days before he’s due back in Florida to finish out the remainder of his winter obligations. A lot can happen in twelve days, but will it be enough to convince Erin that it’s time to start truly living again? Read Slim and Erin’s story and catch up with the rest of the Gansett Island cast in Desire After Dark!

Book Spotlight & Giveaway "The Georgia Corbins" by Kara Leigh Miller

I will be doing a review of this book soon, but it's just been released and I haven't gotten my hard copy in the mail yet so I wanted to do a quick little book spotlight for the blog tour.

Title: The Georgia Corbins
Author: Kara Leigh Miller
Publisher and Imprint: Entranced Publishing
Genre: YA contemporary romance
Release Date: June 10 2013
Length: 265 pages

Synopsis:

Ali Philips never thought anything could be more devastating than the day Levi and Tucker Corbin, her two best friends—her only friends—moved away. Three years passed without a single phone call, text message, or email from them and she’s resolved to the fact that she will probably never see them again. Until one morning when she comes face-to-face with Levi Corbin in physics class. 

Little does she know, the Corbins have returned to Haldeen with only one thing on their minds: winning Ali’s heart. Ali soon finds herself in the middle of a love triangle she doesn’t want any part of. As she tries to reclaim the friendships she’s lost and to adjust to the unfamiliar feelings she’s having, she struggles with making the one decision that will forever change their lives: Levi or Tucker Corbin? 

She’s always had a special bond with Tucker and feels most comfortable when she’s with him. But Levi brings her to life in a way she didn’t think was possible and makes her feel things she didn’t think she would ever feel. Torn between the two, Ali is certain of only one thing–by the time it’s over, she’ll lose one of her best friends.

Book Spotlight & GIVEAWAY "Through the Door" by Jodi McIsaac

I originally reviewed this book back in July of 2012.  At that time it was a self-published, first release by Jodi McIsaac.  Well, it's being re-released in Paperback by 47North Publishing so I wanted to do a spotlight post on it!

Through the Door synopsis:

It’s been seven years since the love of Cedar McLeod’s life left with no forwarding address. All she has left of him are heart-wrenching memories of happier times and a beautiful six-year-old daughter, Eden. Then, one day, Eden opens her bedroom door and unwittingly creates a portal that leads to anywhere she imagines.

Desperate for answers, Cedar digs into the past and finds herself thrust into a magical world of Celtic myths, fantastical creatures, and bloody rivalries. Teaming up with the unlikeliest of allies, Cedar must bridge the gap between two worlds and hold tight to the love in her heart…or lose everything to an ancient evil. 

The first in the Thin Veil series, Through the Door is a pulse-pounding adventure that takes readers across the globe and deep into the hidden realms of Celtic lore.

If you would like to read my original review you can do so here.  Here is just a little snippet of it for you.

I was pulled into the story immediately and I couldn't put it down.  It didn't take me long to finish this book and I will be anxiously waiting for the next book in the trilogy to come out.  I am a sucker for any kind of story with Celtic lore in it.  I always have been drawn to it ever since I started reading Nora Roberts Celtic Trilogies over 10 years ago.  The world that Jodi has started to build in the series is a fresh new take, at least for me.  She does such a wonderful job with her descriptions that you are pulled right into the story along with Cedar.

I would be hard-pressed to tell you which character is my favorite.  I think that I would have to say Eden, she really steals the story.  She is such a sweet girl and I can't wait to see how she grows as the trilogy continues.  I don't really think of this as a love story, there are elements of a love story in it, but it's more centered on the "fae" aspect.  They aren't called fae in the series, that's just how I tend to classify them since it's easier to say that Tuatha De Dannan!  

I am anxiously awaiting the next installment in this series.  If you haven't read this book I highly recommend it if you like Celtic Lore, stories of the Fae, etc...
