About FIGHTING FOR WHAT’S HIS (Warrior Fight Club #2, 9/7/18):

This fight club has one rule: you must be a veteran…

Resisting her only makes him want her more...

Private investigator Billy Parrish is good at three things—fighting, investigating, and sex. MMA training with the other vets in the Warrior Fight Club keeps his war-borne demons at bay—mostly, and one night stands ensure no one gets too close. But then his best friend from the Army Rangers calls in a favor.

Shayna Curtis is new to town, fresh out of grad school, and full of hope for the future. With a new job starting in a month, she’s grateful when her brother arranges a place for her to stay while she apartment hunts. But she never expected her roommate to be so brooding. Or so sexy.

Billy can’t wait for Shay to leave—because the longer she’s there, the more he wants her in his bed. To stay. He can’t have her—that much he knows. But when fight club stops taking off the edge, Billy lets down his guard…and starts fighting for what’s his.

    EXCERPT: Billy unlocked the door and gestured for her to go first. She hit the lights for the living room, and he dropped their bags onto the living room floor next to the door. She turned and frowned, because it wasn’t like him to— Billy’s hands were suddenly in her hair and his forehead was against hers. “You drive me fucking crazy, Shayna.” “I-I do?” she asked, totally caught off guard but nearly euphoric at his words. “Good crazy, o-or—” He nodded. “Good crazy. Even though, fuck. I should resist wanting you. I know I should.” “No, no you shouldn’t,” she said, nearly breathless. “Why should you?” His eyes were dark fire as they bore into hers. “You’re just starting out in life. Everything ahead of you, full of possibilities. But me…I’m a busted, used-up soldier without an army or a war. And I’m supposed to be looking out for you, not taking advantage of you.” Shayna didn’t know what to respond to first. She hated that he saw himself that way. Shaking her head, she grasped at his wrists, holding him to her. “We had that conversation already. You can’t take advantage of someone who wants what you’re doing. And I…I do. God, you have to know how much I crushed on you when I was younger. Living with you has only made that stronger, Billy. Nothing about you looks busted or used-up to me. Nothing at all.” He came closer, close enough that they touched everywhere, and he searched her eyes. “Ryan wouldn’t approve of this, of me.” The closeness made it clear just how turned on he was, and the demanding press of his erection against her belly nearly stole her breath. “Ryan doesn’t get a say…” Her words trailed off, because as much as she believed them in this moment, they resurrected a memory she didn’t want to recall. Of a time she’d uttered nearly those exact words to Dylan. And the consequences had been catastrophic. “What do you want then?” Billy asked, pulling her from a lane of memories she didn’t want to go down. “I don’t want to assume, and I don’t want you to feel pressured into anything because you live in my house. Jesus, just saying that makes me feel like a lecherous asshole.” “You’re not. And I don’t feel pressured. I just want you.” Suddenly, Billy’s lips were on hers and his tongue was in her mouth and his hands tightened in her hair. She moaned at the suddenness of it, at the goodness of it. He walked her backwards towards the steps. “Is this okay?” “Yes,” she whispered around the edge of a kiss. His hands moved to her waist and went to the hem of her white tank top. “Can I see you?” Shayna nodded, pulling away from their kisses only long enough for the shirt to pass over her head, leaving her standing there in a lacy white bra and her jeans. He dropped her top to the floor. “So fucking beautiful. Can I touch you?” “Yes,” she whispered, sucking in a breath as he spread out his big hand against her throat and then dragged his fingers downward until he was cupping her breast. He caught one of her bra straps and dragged it off her shoulder until he bared her nipple to his fingertips. He hauled an arm around her waist, bringing them closer even as he leaned down to kiss her exposed flesh. “Can I taste you?” Jesus, those questions in that deep rasp were so freaking sexy that she could hardly stand it. “Please.”

Cover Reveal: RIDGE by S.L. Scott!


Title: RIDGEAuthor: S.L. Scott
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 20thCover Design: RBA DesignsGoodreads: http://bit.ly/RidgeGR


🎸SYNOPSIS 🎸

The One didn’t exist.

Then I met Meadow.

The band's honorary little sister was off-limits. Too late for that. She says we’re “nothing serious,” but she’s gotten under my skin and I can’t stop thinking about her. And when I touch her, I know we’re meant to be.

Happy Endings don’t exist.

Not even with Ridge.

My big plans never included falling for a rock star. Too soon for that. He wants to make us a “thing,” and I can’t deny our chemistry is combustible. His persistence is wearing me down, making his proposition hard to resist.

If true love only exists in fairy tales, why am I beginning to believe that Ridge just might be my happily ever after?

Cover Reveal: FALL by Kristen Callihan!!!

   
   The first time I met Jax Blackwood things went a little sideways. In my defense, I didn’t know he was Jax Blackwood—who expects a legendary rock star to be shopping for groceries? More importantly, a blizzard was coming and he was about to grab the last carton of mint-chocolate chip. Still, I might have walked away, but then he smugly dared me to try and take the coveted ice cream. So I kissed him. And distracted that mint-chip right out of his hands. Okay, it was a dirty move, but desperate times and all that. Besides, I never expected he’d be my new neighbor. An annoying neighbor who takes great pleasure in reminding me that I owe him ice cream but would happily accept more kisses as payment. An irresistible neighbor who keeps me up while playing guitar naked–spectacularly naked–in his living room. Clearly, avoidance is key. Except nothing about Jax is easy to ignore—not the way he makes me laugh, or that his particular brand of darkness matches mine, or how one look from him melts me faster than butter under a hot sun. Neither of us believes in love or forever. Yet we’re quickly becoming each other’s addiction. But we could be more. We could be everything. All we have to do is trust enough to fall.   ADD TO GOODREADS

Review: ONE MORE MOMENT by Samantha Chase!



My Review: I've just been on a reading streak! Several awesome books in so short a time - and the streak continues with One More Moment! If I had to pick two words to describe this, I would probably go with Heartwarming and Emotional. Julian can call it whatever he wants, but basically he was having some serious anxiety issues after he left his cheating fiance at the altar, and took off. And while that situation might not be universal - the feeling of being gun-shy about returning to the real world after a life-altering change certainly is.

I felt for Julian, but I had nothing but mad respect for Charlotte. She was just such a genuinely good person. And because she just wants to help as many people as possible, it takes meeting Julian to realize that maybe taking some time for yourself isn't so wrong. Samantha Chase always has some amazing characters and stories, but I think Julian and Charlotte are exactly what each other needs, and reading about the two of them figuring out their relationship and their lives was a true joy.

Cover Lovin': So cute!

Recommendation: There's some band history you'll miss, but this can definitely be read as a stand-alone.

Final Rating: FOUR out of FIVE stars (4/5)!!

We are so excited to be bringing you the release of ONE MORE MOMENT by Samantha Chase. ONE MORE MOMENT is the third and final book in the Band on the Run series and one you don't want to miss!

 

About ONE MORE MOMENT

Julian Grayson is taking a break …from his cheating fiancée …from his band …from his life in the spotlight
Charlotte Clark is devoted to her work …to save the world …to help the homeless …to get a broken man back on his feet
When Charlotte Clark offers to pay for Julian Grayson’s coffee, the world-famous drummer assumes she wants something from him. But Charlotte has no idea who he is, and Julian can’t resist keeping up the charade—being incognito is a novelty and a relief. He’ll have to tell her…eventually. But as Charlotte cheerfully undertakes to transform his life, Julian realizes there’s something about her that gives him what he hasn’t felt in years: hope.

Review: VOW OF ATONEMENT by Emma Renshaw!


My Review: And my reading streak continues! This book hit me right in the feels. And by that, I mean this book punched me right in the heart, and I loved every second of it. Second-chance romances are my jam (along with a million other things), because I love that shared history, the feeling of abandonment and betrayal, that fight to make things right during a second go-around. And boy oh boy, you get plenty of that here.

Not only was this an emotional thrill-ride, but it was a suspenseful one too. I was never quite prepared for everything that happened, and that made this quite the page-turner. This was one of those "maybe my boss won't notice if I don't come back from lunch" sort of books. I mean, really, is my job so important when compared to needing to know what happened next?! This author did a fantastic job writing characters I cared about, a relationship that I was deeply engaged in, and a story that had me desperate for more. 

Cover Lovin': Yum!

Recommendation: Standalone.

Final Rating: FOUR out of FIVE stars (4/5)!! This is a second-chance romance that you will NOT want to miss!

Lynne is a momma bear to two beautiful little girls and one amazing stepson. When she's not writing, she's an avid reader.

She lives in the quiet country, somewhere on the Panhandle of Florida. She loves music, dancing and beer. Preferably the beer first so she can at least pretend to know how to twerk when the music comes on. She loves anything that glitters and has a weird habit of collecting pens. Even though she's in Florida, she hates the ocean and doesn't eat seafood. I know. I know. She’s a strange human being.

Celebration & Giveaway: SILVER DAGGER BOOK TOURS 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!



Silver Dagger Book Tours is now 2 years old this month!


Believe it or not, Silver Dagger Book Tours was created and is mainly operated by just one person!
I used to be just an internet crawler looking for new books and giveaways and stumbled upon book tours. After indulging in many dozens of tours, I decided I'd like to try my hand at blogging in my spare time (with absolutely no blogging experience at all!) I was a book blogger for several companies (and still am) and stuck with it for over 3 years. In that time, I learned all the ropes and became a pretty efficient blogger, but there was still something missing- I wanted to make my posts stand out a bit! So, I started creating small graphics like “about the book” and the other standard graphics that you see in all my tours nowadays and started jazzing my posts up.
I became pregnant with my second child in the fall of 2015 and me and my hubby decided to try to purchase our first home finally, so I quit my waitressing job to pack up everything for the move and never looked back!
It took several months of trying to get the ball rolling and was quite difficult at first to get authors to tour with me. Thus, I had an idea to let everybody pay what they can comfortably afford instead of set rates as I thought what some other companies charged were just outrageous!
Since then, I have done over 1000 tours and worked with hundreds of amazing authors – many who come back for repeat tours! I have 2-3 tours kick off every weekday with occasional tours on the weekends and EVERY tour is required to have a giveaway so readers can gain a little something and have fun while they enjoy learning about new books.
I have an absolutely amazing group of bloggers that share my tours on their sites and really couldn't have gotten this far without their continued support and would like to thank each and every one of them! Ya'll are amazing! I also have two assistants that help me check links and keep up with blogger activity – Janet, who's been with me over a year, and Laurie, who is a new addition. Ya'll ladies are spectacular and I couldn't do it without you!
Absolutely everything else is completely run solely by me though and I really enjoy organizing tours and helping new authors get discovered. I don't discriminate and host ALL fictional genres in ALL age ranges as me and my bloggers have a broad range of readers that enjoy many different genres.
After two years of astronomical tours, I am going stronger than ever now and growing on a daily basis with plans to continue hosting tours for many many years!

If you are an author interested in booking a tour with me, you can see a general FAQ page and booking HERE!


If you are a blogger interested in joining some of my tours, you can see my current sign ups HERE!
And sign up for email invites HERE!





A third generation local of the historic town of Fredericksburg, TX, I was born and raised among the rolling hills of the Texas Hill Country where the beauty of the landscape is breathtaking and town is  famous for the Main Street historic shopping district, the best peaches in the world, wildflowers and wine. I really can't imagine living anywhere else!
A country girl through and through, I grew up hunting, fishing and digging for Indian artifacts, all the while enjoying the many rivers and swimming holes around town. I'm a stay at home mom with three beautiful boys, ages 9, 2, and 1 that encompass my entire world!
A bookaholic from birth, I have always had a deep passion for reading and spend many late nights devouring books into the wee hours of the morning. My “real” book collection numbers over 3000 books and take up an entire small room in our house with custom bookshelves built by my husband that I call my “book cave”. I've been building this collection since my childhood and will keep on adding to it for the rest of my life. Of course, I also have a similar collection of ebooks as well as I finally went digital a few years ago.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing with my kids, doing DIY renovation projects with my husband, cooking, and relaxing on my back porch with a good cup of coffee while I watch the massive axis deer herd come through the yard.
