Fake engaged to the hottest quarterback in the country? SCORE.

They say nothing compares to your first kiss,

But our first kiss was orchestrated for an audience.

Our second kiss . . . that one was REAL.

He cradled my face like he was terrified he'd f*ck it up.

He stared into my eyes until the air buzzed.

Soft and slow, full of sighs and little laughs,

He inhaled me like I was the finest Belgian chocolate,

And he'd never get another piece.

A nip of his teeth, his hand at my waist . . .

And I was lost.

I forgot he was paying me to be his fake fiancée.

I forgot we weren't REAL.

Our kiss was pure magic, and before you laugh and say those kinds of kisses don't exist,

Then you've never touched lips with Max Kent, the hottest quarterback in college history.

Three months. Two hearts. One fake engagement.

Quarterback

Fake Fiancee was much more than I expected it to be. There were a few heart stopping moments that had me on the edge of my seat. Could a deal between two people really workout without flaws? Could an average girl really catch the campus heart throb? 

Thanks Ilsa for another excellent book.

Beautiful Collision by Toni Vallan

When you're all alone and you have nowhere to turn, you have to be really careful. Because sometimes, just sometimes, you will walk right into the arms of evil.

Eighteen year old Gray McAllister is on the run from a man so dangerous she's likely to have an assassin on her tail. Now, she thinks she's safe. But is she?

When Gray bumps into super-hot Thane Blackwell, she's not sure what to expect. She certainly doesn't plan on putting him in hospital either. Drooling over him from afar is safe but trouble arises when she's forced to look after him while he recovers from surgery.

Being holed up in her apartment is a bad, bad idea. Can Gray control the fire that Thane lights inside her, or will she give in to her deepest desires? But there's more to Thane than he is telling.

The stakes are impossibly high, but love and lies don't play nice with each other. Will Gray's past catch up with her first? Or will Thane's own secrets explode and tear them apart?

Beautiful Collision is the first part of the Desperation Series. The second & final book is Beautiful Conviction available now.

Warning: Beautiful Collision is set against the backdrop of the sex trafficking trade. It's not easy reading, though I have tried to remain realistic, without pulling punches. Please note that some scenes could be considered rape trauma triggers, and are by no means meant used for dramatic effect.

Blue Williams shines no matter the circumstance.

-Most talented cheerleader on her high school squad

-Valedictorian of the senior class

-Prom queen and runner up for Miss Teen Colorado

And the list goes on…

That’s until college, when she finds out nobody recognizes her, and if they do they couldn’t care less. Blending in is something Blue has longed for her entire life. Living in a dorm with a set of new friends is just what she needed to escape her stale life back home. For the first time, she’s seen for her talent and not her name or looks.

Cheer is her number one priority, considering a full-ride scholarship landed her at a prestigious university, and she intends to take advantage of it. A true beauty inside and out, Blue’s heart has always pumped competitive blood. 

Until one night changes her forever…the beauty is gone, and all she has left are nasty, ugly memories. The man who saved her has a story of his own, with ninety percent of his body scarred. 

What happens when the Beauty falls for the Beast?

I have read just about all of HJ Bellus's books and they are all excellent books. Blue was another great read. The book was written well with a new look into Beauty and the Beast.

Blue was hilarious. She was smart and funny but she also had a sensitive side. She wasn't looking for love, she only wanted to cheer. When she meets her "beast" she doesn't know how to take him. Will he be the one to steal her heart or will he be too broken to accept what she can offer him?

This book is a romance that will have you asking yourself why does life have to be so hard? Why does bad things happen to good people? 

Read Blue and find out why Beauty feel in love with Beast!!

I am an independent author excited about releasing my first novel very soon. A big dream coming true!!! I'm all country...the kinda country where green grass grows and corn pops up in rows....love Miranda and her bad ass music!!! Just a simple country girl getting one story out of her head at a time...I always fall hard for a trucker style hat...especially if it's a John Deere hat....loves me a good ol' farm boy!!!!!!

Cover Reveal: #Poser by Cambria Hebert

Title: #Poser (Hashtag Series #5) - not a standalone 

Release Date: August 18, 2015 

Genre: New adult college romance 

Synopsis:

Posers gonna pose

I am a man who had nothing, but found everything.

I’ll never go back to nothing ever again.

I vowed to protect her, and that’s exactly what I’m gonna do. 

The pictures I stumbled upon haunt me still, the secret I shoulder is heavy.

They say secrets put distance between two people, but the truth is far more destructive than keeping it will ever be. 

I won’t ever tell. She can’t ever know.

When I look in the mirror my reflection is of who I’m afraid I’ll become and not the man I am. 

It makes me feel like a poser, no better than all the others pretending to be exactly who they aren’t.

How does a man keep it together when everything is unraveling right here in his hands?

I didn’t start any of this.

I never asked for it.

But it came knocking at my door. 

When secrets and threats knock, I don’t hide.

I open the door. 

Because the best way to take down a poser is to be one.
