Errrr blow raspberries at people, skip, colour in, watch disney movies, i have thrown a tantrum or two oh and demand sweets.
15. Would you rather be stuck on a deserted island with no books or a library with books in a language you don't understand?
See that's just mean, i could handle being stuck on an island with no books as long as i had paper so i could write whilst i was there, you also forgot to say no kindle so i would be ok..hehe.
But if i decided on the books but in a language i didn't understand, as long as they had pictures i think i would be good and who’s to say i couldn't learn the language.

Synopsis

 photo ebook_zpsyssjyezy.jpg

Christmas.
That bittersweet word that plays on my mind every goddamn year. Some people love it, I don’t like the fact I still live around it. Like any other child, Christmas for me was the most magical time of all. The winter walks, the smell of fresh cinnamon and candy canes, the excitement in the pit of my stomach where I found it hard to sleep. I loved that.
But once you reach adulthood you soon realise that life is cruel and fairy tales are bullshit! And at twenty-one, that magic and belief were torn from my grasp and I suddenly wanted to be that little girl again.
December now means nothing. Christmas hurts. And the only coldness I feel is what’s congealed around my heart. Nothing would change, and no one could change it. 
Then I met him.

About The Author 

 photo Author_zpshutbaty0.jpg

Kate has lived in South West England her entire life just on the edge of Dartmoor where the moorland goes on for days. It's beautiful, breathtaking and occasionally rather wet. 

Growing up as a kid, writing was never her course of direction as she disliked everything about it due to being dyslexic. However, overtime she got back into reading/writing and fell in love with adult romances. 
Then one day two characters etched their way into her mind and didn't show any signs of leaving - the rest is history.

She has a love/hate relationship with chocolate and the weekends are not the same without a vodka in hand. She's a sucker for a heart fluttering romance and can't help but go weak at the knees for a guy with a five o'clock shadow. ;-)

Autumn's Rise 5 star Review

 photo BANNER_zps4toavaao.jpg

AUTUMN'S RISE BY R.G.CORR
SPECIALIST BLOG TOUR BY FRANCESSCA'S PR & DESIGNS

 photo Autumns rise_zpszuhqrr1m.jpg

Review
 5 Beautiful stars
Oh Wow!
Autumn's Rise was a beautiful story. The sadness this book contained was heartbreaking but the love, the lessons along the way and the happiness were breathtaking.
Zen was HOT he had the whole broody. grumpy thing going on but once you find out his secret you totally understand why he's such an A*&/#hole! 
Autumn has to be one of the strongest young ladies to have carried on 'living' after everything thrown at her was amazing. 
I cannot wait for Reid's story. and More from R.G. Corr

Blurb 
On the discovery of a family secret and the heart-wrenching events that follow, Autumn Chamberlain has lost what little faith she had in those closest to her. Knowing she can never truly live her life if she remains with her family, and with an abundance of guilt laying heavily in her heart, she escapes the lonely world she felt forced to live in and heads to the seaside town of Haywater. The aim, to look for a new beginning, a fresh start. But she has one clear notion – to never love again.

Talented surfer, Zed Maddison, has always worked hard at protecting those closest to him, until the day he fails. Fighting his own demons, Zed flees his close family; unable to 
face them and the remorse he feels before finally arriving in Haywater.

When their worlds collide, Zed has an unfathomable need to protect Autumn and becomes relentless in his fight, forcing Autumn’s defences to the limit. 

Can her secrets remain dead and buried?

Or will a revelation destroy everything?

About The Author 

 photo RG AUthor_zpsrytktvgv.jpg

R. G. Corr is a mum of 3 who loves to read almost as much as she does to write. When she's not working or writing, you'll find her nose deep in her kindle swooning over her latest book boyfriend. 

Having had an overactive imagination for many years, a discussion with a friend at a soft play area, amidst the noise and mayhem of toddlers, finally convinced her to put pen to paper and write her first novel. 

Autumn's Rise, book one in the Haywater series, was released in February 2016. Book two will follow later in the year.

Rush Review by Rie Warren

Title: Rush
Series: Carolina Bad Boys #5
Author: Rie Warren
Genre: Erotic romance, humor, thriller, suspense, military, action/adventure
Release Date: October 3, 2016 Available Now on Kindle Unlimited  On 


=Review= 5 Stars 
I wasn't sure about this book to start with but i ended up loving it! 
I love the banter between Shy and Max aka Handsome aka Rush. I liked how all the "boys" had each others backs and whenever needed they dropped everything and helped out. 
The angst in the book was written extremely well and kept you on the edge of the seat and turning those pages! 
The one thing i thought i wouldn't like about this book is the amount of sex, i mean i don't mind sex in a book but once you've read one one sex scene in the book they're usually the same right? Nope not in this book, pretty much every single one was surprisingly different. 
I really enjoyed reading about these bad boys. Thank you Rie Warren





Sale: 99 cents!!!!
Hot girls, hot cars, and time behind bars . . . I’m the most unsuitable dude for pretty girl-next-door Shiloh Lockhart.
MAX HANDSOME RUSH I’m the black sheep of the Rush family, cut off from the bourbon distillery dynasty. Shrug. They didn’t approve of the high-octane rap sheet of arrests marring my pretty boy, prep school upbringing. Hot girls, hot cars, and time behind bars for illegal street racing—what can I say? Speed is in my blood. Now I’ve cleaned up. I’m being good. I’ve got my own plans, and they for damn sure don’t include Shiloh Lockhart. Shy. The goddamn classic girl next door. She shows up out of the clear blue, turning all the MC dudes into drooling manwhores. But not me. I’ve got too much to lose to risk falling for a perfect girl like her. When Shy’s overprotective folks tell her I’m bad news, they’re right. But come to find out she’s already endured more than her fair share of shit-gone-bad in her life, and she’s convinced I won’t make it any worse. Shy couldn’t be more wrong. SHILOH LOCKHART I haven’t seen Max since he got kicked out of the Rush family home years ago. Now I’m determined to get back in touch with the boy I used to crush on growing up. They call him Handsome at the motorcycle club he belongs to, and I can see why. The long dark brown hair. The smoldering whiskey-colored eyes. The sculpted face and big muscled body. Too bad he’s intent on treating me like a kid sister. Hmm. We’ll see how long that lasts, because to squash this schoolgirl crush I need to be with Max just once . . . turns out one taste of Rush isn’t enough. My situation is life threatening, but what he’s hiding is even more dangerous. Too late. Rush is already in my blood.


 
Ripped and ready, I cut through the dim, cool interior of the MC.  Sweaty, half naked, with my shorts riding low, I stomped past the pool tables.  My tats gleaming, my muscles charged, I barged out the front door. Brodie trailed me, grinning like an evil ape when I swung my head back to—yup—sling about my fifth glare of the day c/o Shiloh Lockhart.  I was usually a pretty easygoing guy.  Something about having her hanging around turned me into a snarling animal.  Then I saw her helluva hot ride—a fucking white Hennessey Hellcat with a black racing stripe. Holy. Christ. The hot coupe with total street cred was nothing short of drool-inducing for a gearhead like me. A flat-out, top-of-the line, bitchin’ ride. And then I took stock of Shy, leaning against the abovementioned droolworthy Charger, looking no less jaw dropping herself.  Strike. That. I meant I could see why Tail trailed out after us, then Cole.  Had nothing to do with my gut deep reaction to seeing a gorgeous woman with a delicious body wearing a long raspberry-colored dress that tightened over her tits and flowed around her legs. Or the hint of sunshine in her smile when she saw me. Or the sleek blonde-brown sun-drenched hair.  Or the luscious lips. Not At All. “’Zup, Shy?” I reeled in my tongue, half-shuttered my eyes, took anything but a platonic, good old friends greeting off the table.  Unfortunately I hadn’t counted on her inspection of me.  Her soft silver-colored eyes roamed and roved over me as she licked those—yup—luscious lips. I straightened taller the longer she detailed every inch of my body—most of it bare, most of it hard, a lot of it inked—and the color in her cheeks brightened.  Fuck. She was making me self-conscious. I almost ducked my head in an aw shucks move.  Brodie would get his rocks off about that.  Not gonna happen.  She slowly—in a silky movement—pulled herself away from the Hellcat. She came to me at what had to be an intentionally seductive pace.  Or my breath had roughened for nothing.  Didn’t look like nothing.  Really needed to be. Hellcat? I might have to start calling her that.  Could I hold out my fist for a knuckle bump with Shy? Back slap? High five?  Because hugging her at that exact moment might prove lethal to all my just an old friend dictates.  Shy took matters into her own hands, pulling me to her by the back of my neck while I played wooden soldier in her embrace. Something sure was catching wood.  Between my legs. So wrong. “Uhm.” Disentangling her arms from me, I created some space and hoped my shorts were baggy enough to hide a growing boner. “What brought you here?” I heard Tail loud-whisper to Cole. “She wants some of that.” “Handsome’s makeover’s working out then.” “Nah. Dude. He’s magic. Could always pull pussy.” Brodie strode up to the duo and smacked each of them on the back of the head. Not that he wasn’t capable of the same damn loose-lipped bullshit.  Shy—Miss Manners and all—pretended she hadn’t heard a thing. And for that I loved her.  “I was just on my way to a meeting and I got a flat.” She pointed to the rear left tire. “Hoped you could help?” I took a turn around sizzling hot Hennessey then hunkered down to inspect the dead tire. “You should really take this to Stone’s. It’s their specialty. I can put on the dummy tire and drive it over if you want.”  Lifting to my feet, I realized Shy was way too fucking close in proximity.  Her fresh, beach-swept scent slid over me.  Her silvery eyes shone under a long fan of eyelashes.  And one step closer, her tits would hit my bare chest.  I stepped back, wiping my palms on my shorts.  “But you were always into this kind of thing. You can take care of me, right, Max?” Eyelash flutter and sweet smile. Shit.  Brodie—bastard barbarian—shoved me forward. “He’ll do it. On the house too. We got just the right tire inside.” I walked over to the garage side of Chrome and Steele and rapped on the wide door. “Open up.” My feet pounding on pavement, I struck back to Shy and the Dodge that gave me an instant hard-on.  Because I refused to blame the sudden need to bust-a-nut on my old friend, never flame, the girl next door.  “Drive it in.” “Why don’t you do the honors?” She tossed me her keys.  I looked at the car. Looked at her. And decided I might never get the chance to drive a Hellcat again.  Shrugging, I eased into the driver’s side then pushed open the passenger door. “Hop in.” With a smoky laugh, Shy curled in beside me.  I started the car, and the loud purring engine sent another jolt to my dick.  This coupe was goddamn heart-stopping gorgeous.  Come to think of it, so was Shy.  Not going there. I found my voice somewhere deep down in my chest. “What made you buy this?” “I like my toys to be hard, fast, and sexy.”  “Toys?” A ragged breath rasped from my throat.
