This Much is True 

 (Truth in Lies, #1)

by Katherine Owen
Publication date: August 11th 2013
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult

Both on the verge of fame. A ballerina who lies. A baseball player who believes her. Well, the truth changes everything.

Tally Landon is just trying to survive the death of her twin sister, graduate from high school, and escape her tragic story by pursuing her ballet career in New York. She doesn’t count on Lincoln Presley, Stanford’s baseball wonder, to affect her at all. Adding him to a long list of one-night stands is the plan. Lying to him about her age and name is her standard method of operandi. She doesn’t count on being found out, on seeing him again, or falling in love.
Lincoln Presley’s life is all mapped out for him. There is only baseball. With Major League Baseball circling their favorite prospect with a lucrative offer, he cannot afford to mess up. And, he doesn’t; until he meets up with the girl he saved in that burning wreckage on the 101 on Valentine’s Day months before. By the time he learns her real name and of all the lies she’s told, he’s in far too deep to ever really let her go.
Fate has a different set of plans, but when fame and lies tear them apart, one truth remains.

Publisher: Sourcebooks Casablanca

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Vampires are nothing but trouble…

As far as beautiful vampire Sadie Pemberton is concerned, werewolves shouldn’t be sticking their noses into New York’s supernatural politics. They don’t know jack about running a city—not even that hot-as-sin new vampire-werewolf liaison who’s just arrived in town.

Werewolves are too sexy for their own good…

 
The last thing Killian Bane wanted was to end up in New York City playing nice with vampires. Unfortunately, he’s on a mission, and when he encounters the sexiest, most stubborn female vamp he’s ever met, he’s going to have to turn on a little of that wolfish charm…and Sadie’s going to learn a thing or two about what it means to have a wild side…

**BOOK BLITZ** Underneath it all by Cassandra Carr

Underneath It All

by Cassandra Carr

Genre: Sports Romance

Professional hockey player Rob D'Amico is confused when he's chosen to take part in a reading program for inner-city students. While athletes are role models, he tends toward the gregarious and playful side, rather than a studious bent. 

Despite the lack of funding plaguing her inner-city district, every day kindergarten teacher Alaina Rossa ensures her students learn something to prepare them for life. At first she's unsure how a hockey player will help her achieve that goal. 

When Rob visits Alaina's class for the first time, they welcome him with open arms, despite the lack of even the basic supplies for their education. He takes it upon himself to get the students what they need, sweeping Alaina up in the excitement. 

As time goes by and she learns more about Rob, Alaina finds her heart opening to him. Is it possible her soul mate could be found in a world so different from her own? And for Rob, the last person he thought he'd find forever love with was an elementary school teacher wearing clothes permanently stained with finger paint. But when you're playing for keeps, sometimes you have to get a little dirty.

**COVER REVEAL** Broken Blood by Heather Hildenbrand

How do you defeat an enemy that knows your every thought … even as you think it?

I thought watching my Werewolf boyfriend get arrested for murder was the worst experience of my life. But then I was knocked out and dragged off to a cell of my own by the very people who were supposed to protect me from danger.

I thought being held prisoner in solitary confinement for weeks on end was the worst experience of my life. But then a visitor came, and I realized I’d been wrong all along. There are worse things than torture and death. Much worse.

He wants my blood. More than that, he wants to get into my head. To use my bond to control his army, to wipe the world clean of anything with dirty blood. I can’t let that happen, but if I don’t he’ll kill every single person I’ve ever cared about—beginning with my Werewolf pack.

The prophecy said I would have to make an impossible choice, but I must be doing this wrong—so far every choice I’ve made has only led to more pain and danger and death. Hunters are pitted against Werewolves and I’m alone in my war against Gordon Steppe. I can’t fight him off anymore; all I can do is try to keep him out of the important places. And I’m failing at even that.

I thought the demons were out there, clearly marked and clinging to the shadows. But they’re not. The monsters are within the ranks of those sworn to protect. The enemy is among us.

Sometimes Family Can be the Death of You

Wood Point Academy is not at all what I expected.

For one thing, it looks like a cross between military school and Buckingham Palace. Everyone stares, the floors shine so bright you can see your reflection in them from a mile away, and no one smiles.

At least I’ve got plenty to take my mind off the fact that my psycho cousin, Miles De’Luca, keeps calling and declaring his love and promising to come for me just as soon as he’s destroyed anyone standing in our way. Wes isn’t going to like that idea. So between Miles, Wood Point’s evil welcoming committee, and the drill sergeant hottie trainer from hell, I just keep asking myself, how did I end up here?

Enemies to Lovers Blog Tour!

It’s a fine line between love and hate, and these heroines know that first hand! Here to give us their two cents on turning an enemy to a lover are Isabella St. Vincent (Wicked, My Love by Susanna Ives), Eliza May (Soulbound by Kristen Callihan), Sadie Pemberton (Vampires Never Cry Wolf by Sara Humphreys), and Mina Duvall, the Duchess of Casavian (Of Silk and Steam by Bec McMaster).

Isabella St. Vincent (Wicked, My Love)

I admit that I’ve been jealous of Randall since we were children.  He was beautiful, charming, and everyone adored him.  Whenever I was around him, I felt even more odd and clumsy.  I hated him for that. Isn’t it terrible to loathe someone just because they make you feel less about yourself?  It wasn’t until I was twenty-nine that I learned he was jealous of me too.  Me! Imagine.  (laughs)  I realized that behind that handsome shell of charm and silvery words, he was a vulnerable as me.  And a great kisser.

Eliza May (Soulbound)

I thought seeing Adam naked and chained to a wall would be a glorious vindication for past insults, but in truth I only wanted to free him and take away his pain. Then there was the unfortunate matter that, every time he teases me, I rather want to shut his lovely lips. With my mouth.

Sadie Pemberton (Vampires Never Cry Wolf)

There's a fine line between hate and lust. Let's just say it took me a little while to figure out my hatred wasn't hate at all but fang-humming need and desire rolled into one. I think the moment I first realized that I wanted Killian under me, instead of six feet under, was that night at The Coven a couple months ago. When I escorted Killian and his pack to the VIP table in the club, instead of slipping into the booth like he usually did, he....lingered. It was the first time I allowed his body get within a foot of mine...but definitely not the last.

Mina Duvall, the Duchess of Casavian
 (Of Silk and Steam)

 Leo Barrons has been pursuing me for an age, despite the fact that his father murdered mine. However, it wasn't until he demanded a kiss - and more - in exchange for his help in a dangerous plot that matters began to change between us. Discovering a secret about Leo that could ruin his father - and him - only served to heighten the feelings, especially when he placed his fate in my hands. I finally had a weapon against his father, but only if I utterly destroyed Leo first. Bearing the burden of that decision was the hardest struggle I've ever had, forcing me to contemplate what manner of man he truly was.
