Blog Tour + Excerpt: The Traveling Man by Jane Harvey-Berrick

Title: The Traveling Man (Traveling, #1)

Author: Jane Harvey – Berrick

Release Date: January 27, 2015

Genre: Contemporary Romance

 

Blurb

I was ordinary. Nice. He was extraordinary. And he wasn’t always nice. Moody and difficult, brilliant and beautiful, Kes scared me and he protected me. He could be incredibly hurtful and incredibly thoughtful. He wasn’t perfect, but he was perfect for me. He challenged me, he took me out of my safe little box and showed me the world could be magnificent. He was everything I wasn’t. Aimee Anderson is ten when the traveling carnival first comes to her nice little town. She doesn’t expect her world to change so completely. But meeting Kestrel Donohue puts her life on a different path. Even though she only sees him for the two weeks of the year when he passes through her home town, his friendship is the most important of her life. As a child’s friendship grows to adult love, the choices become harder, and both Kes and Aimee realize that two weeks a year will never be enough.    

Excerpt

Kes’s ‘costume’ hadn’t changed much in the last couple of years. He was still barefoot and bare chested, but this time the new assistant, Sorcha, was hanging over him, wearing a skimpy bra top that looked two sizes too small, and a floaty chiffon skirt that made her legs seem to go on forever. I hated her.

I could see why the Cirque du Soleil agent had been surprised by Kes’s age. He looked like a man; Sorcha was all woman, and I looked like a little girl.

When the drumbeat started, the small arena stilled, a few whispers rippling around the ring. And then Kes galloped out holding two flaming torches, with Sorcha riding behind him, clinging to his waist.

My jealousy was so bitter that I wanted to throw up, but the audience clapped and whistled.

She slid gracefully to the ground, her bare feet sinking into the sawdust. Her focus was on Kes as he galloped around her. He hung from Jakey’s neck as he planted one torch to Sorcha’s left and the second to her right, so her wild hair seemed to catch fire.

And then the show began. Kes stood on Jakey’s racing back briefly, then leapt to the ground.

He juggled the flaming torches, ran, jumped, and somersaulted onto and from Jakey’s back again and again, always fluid, always in motion. I held my breath until my head spun. He wasn’t born for an office or a desk job; he was born to thrill, to make you gasp, to stop you in your tracks so you’d have to ask, how did he do that?

Excerpt
But what can I say? I’m Alex Lewis after all. The multi-millionaire with a jackhammer-sized cock. There’s not a woman alive that doesn’t want a piece of this. And that’s the fucking problem. I don’t want any of them.
All because of one girl. She ruined everything by burning her mark deep inside my chest. She was the girl I’d trusted with my life, and in return, royally fucked me over. I had decided there and then I’d never let it happen again. Every move would be calculated precisely. Each encounter would be strategised to perfection.

 PAVLINA'S REVIEW

5 BRILLIANT STARS


This book is absolutely fantastic and I couldn't put it down! I was mesmerised and captivated from the first page!! I didn't know what to expect from Lili St. Germain as it's my first book of her! I have been hearing so much about her other series and I was very excited to finally read a book of her!!! And believe me, now after I finished this amazing book, I'm even more intigued to read the Gypsy Brothers!!! What I loved more about this book is the way the author connected the world of Cartel (drug lords) with the world of MC! It was brilliant!! In this book you will not find your typical romance, innocent girl meets bad boy or bad girl meet a nice guy...NO..This book is dark,hot,cruel,intense and fast-paced!!



Marianna is a 19 year old Columbian girl. Her dad works for Emilio, Emilio is the infamous drug Lord. One day she is out with her boyfrend when suddenly everything changes...Emilio is here to get the money her father lost...He is going to kill her family and Marianna...But she is willing to go with him as his slave in order to save her family..Soon she will meet his son Dornan, the vise president of Gypsy Brothers. Now Marianna try to survive in this world of cruelty..As she spends more time with Dornan their connection is obvious..And it can't be denied..




First of all I would like to say how much I loved Marianna's character!!! She is tough,strong,intelligent and smart!! She isn't afraid to talk, even in front of a drug Lord who is willing to kill her!! Dornan intrigued me from the beginning. He is a troubled man who has a lot of issues from his father...However I like him a lot..there was some moments that I didn't like his behavior..


"Promise what,baby?"
"Promise that if I stay with you, you'll protect me from them?"
"I promise if you stay here with me and you do as you're told,I'll protect you from the whole world."




The storyline is so interesting and the characters really captivated me!! I felt like I was a part of the story!!If you are looking for a dark story this is for you!!


Are you ready for CARTEL????

Book Blitz excerpt+giveaway:Little Wolf by Amélie S. Duncan

Synopsis

When twenty-three year old Tala Velsik appears in a last minute performance art piece, she has no idea that public nudity will be the least of her worries. Wearing nothing but silver paint and a pair of antlers, her body is bared to hundreds of eyes, but one penetrating stare simmers through the others, Adrian Caro.

Adrian Caro is one of the world’s most famous directors and photographers, but with striking features and a body made for sin, most would guess he belonged in front of the camera. 

Of course, the last thing Tala needs is romance, even with a walking Adonis. Mounting bills, a dead end job and a set of childhood memories most therapists would pale at; love is low on her list. Assuming, of course, her new admirer allows her to have a say in the matter. 

Shocked yet thrilled by Adrian’s passionate domination, Tala can’t help but feel she’s standing on quicksand. For all his wealth, fame and talent, Adrian is tormented by his own demons; hiding secrets big enough to destroy them both.

Excerpt

“No, Monique, we are going to Sacred Coeur tomorrow,” Sergio said.

She pouted, but Sophie walked over and hugged her, kissing her cheek. A pang went through my chest at the love and comfort between these two women. It scraped against a deep longing in me to have a similar connection with my mother. I stroked the knife wound on my forearm, remembering that it had been earned one of the times I had trusted in and tried for that kind of comfort.

“Tala? Tala? Someone give Tala a hug, I think she could use one right now,” Fatou said.

I blinked at her. “What? Huh?”

“You were staring, and you looked sad,” Fatou observed.

My cheeks warmed. “I was just lost in thought. I don’t need a hug.” My tone was harsher than I meant, and Fatou bristled. I immediately felt guilty.

“Sorry. I didn’t mean—” I tried to recover.

“Nothing’s wrong with getting a hug,” Fatou smiled, seeming to have already forgotten my tone. She came around the counter and wrapped her arms around me as I chewed my cheek to stop from crying.

What is wrong with me?

Adrian took over from there, kissing my face and cheeks with soft assurances.

PAVLINA'S REVIEW

4,5 DRAGON STARS!!

"I was the princess of the Aces MC
and I had the bloody knuckles to prove it!"

I really enjoyed this book!!! The story was nice and I read it fast! My only complain is that I wish the book was a bit longer..I wanted more!!! This is a great start for this series and I will definetely read the second book soon!!!




The story is about Brenna who left the MC world for a better life, or so she thought.. Now she is on the run from her abusive husband so she has go back to the people she left behind...Her father is the VP of a MC..She has to explain to him and the others about her daughter and this isn't easy... As in the past before she left she has slept with Dragon a member of the bikers and the kid is his...




I liked Brenna and her daughter a lot!!! Their relationship is so sweet!!! I think this is the reason why I liked her character a lot. Apart from this Brenna has a little bit from everything. She is strong,sweet and feisty. At the beginning she feels vulnerable but soon she starts feeling safe when she is back with her family. Dragon...well I think you will understand from my stars that I really liked him a lot! Especially in the first part of the book where I was swooning all the time!!! He is loyal,sweet,faithful and sexy. But there is a scene in the book that I didn't like...But then you can understand the reason why he did what he did.I don't want to say...I think it's better to read it and tell me what you think!!! However I loved them together.I loved the way Dragon tried to help her understand who really she is.And I love him more for the things he said to her...the things that make me love him...


"Baby, I've been waitin' five years for you. That shit's never gone away. So, you can bitch and moan and make your own life miserable, or you can suck it the fuck up and get on the same page with me. I'm not goin' anywhere."




I think it's a good biker story that you should read it!!!
