Release Blitz: Broken by Alexis Winter




Title: Broken
Series: South Side Boys #2
Author: Alexis Winter
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: October 19, 2019



Blurb

“He wanted what wasn’t his.”
He stops moving but doesn’t let go of me.
He has a look in his eye…Intense. Predatory. Claiming.
“But I’m not yours either.”
“Tonight, you will be.”

The moment she made that stupid bet with me I should have walked away.
Pretend to be her boyfriend at her high school reunion.
Instead, I lean in and whisper: “Girl, I’ll show you things you didn’t even know existed and make other guys you’ve been with seem like boys.”
I knew I couldn’t resist her perfectly plump lips, the curve of her delicious hips.
What I didn’t expect?
To fall for her. To crave her. To need her.
She thinks I’m just a reformed criminal with a history of bad mistakes and prison time
But the truth is, the demons from my past are knocking down my door.
Tori Brennan may act like a tough talking ball buster
But I know better.
She wants everything I can’t give her.
Happiness, love, safety.
There’s only one thing I can give her…
A broken heart.

Excerpt

He stops moving but doesn’t let go of me. He has that same look in his eyes that he just had talking about Billy.
Intense. Predatory. Claiming.
“He wanted what wasn’t his.”
I give him a look, knowing this may well be the only chance I’ll have to try and take what I want. And what I think he wants as well.
“But I’m not yours either.”
Before I know it, his lips come crashing down on mine, silencing anything else I could say. And then he abruptly ends it, leaving me panting.
I want to ask what that was, but I can’t, because he suddenly says the words I never thought I’d hear.
“Tonight, you will be.”

Title: Broken
Author: Crystal Kaswell
Genre: New Adult Romance
Release Date: August 31, 2018



Blurb

Some things in life are undeniable.

Trent Stone’s smile is as rare as a rainy day in California.

His eyes are the most beautiful thing in the entire universe.

And the two of us are broken.

For years, we had everything. The kind of love that only exists in fairytales. But it slipped through my fingers. I left and I took his heart with me.

That was supposed to be it. The end. Forever.

Now, I’m face to face with Trent, staring into those soulful brown eyes, choking on all the things I want to say. My heart is begging for his comfort. My body is begging for his touch. My head… my head knows better.

He hates me for leaving.

But if he knew the truth…

This is one secret I’m taking to my grave.

I just hope it doesn’t kill me.

Release Blitz: Broken by Christa Cervone with Giveaway (a Kindle Fire 7HD, $20 Amazon Gift Card, $10 Amazon Gift Card, Signed paperback of Broken + Swag Pack)




Title: Broken
Author: Christa Cervone
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: October 4, 2016



Blurb

Shattered.
Destroyed.
Ruined.

That's what I did.
I took everything that we had, and crushed it all,
Destroying Garrett in the process.

I can't take it back,
Can't fix it,
Can't deny it.

But yet, I try,
I try to drown out the pain with alcohol,
Numb the agony with mindless, loveless sex.
Nothing works, because I may have ruined us,
But I'm the one who's shattered.

Like a dream or quite possibly a nightmare,
Garrett walked back into my life.

And now, I'm torn,
Torn between what I want,
The man I've always loved,
And what I think I deserve.

But am I too broken to have the future I've always wanted?

STANDALONE. Second Chance Contemporary Romance: Full length novel.

*Broken was originally released in February 2013 and has been re-edited and features new content.

Excerpt

I hustle across the lobby, wanting to get as far away from those two as humanly possible. Passing by a set of double doors, I peer in as the wait staff hurries about, placing final touches on each of the tables. I overhear a familiar voice and then a laugh that stops me in my tracks. My damaged heart seizes inside my chest and the breath I'd been about to take lodges in my throat. It couldn’t be. I remain motionless in the middle of the lobby, waiting to hear it again. Radio silence. Don't be ridiculous, it's just your imagination.

Either I'm a dumbass or a glutton for punishment, but curiosity gets the better of me, forcing me to inch my way to the door. Peeking around the corner, I catch a glimpse of a male in the reflection of the mirror and like an anchor sinking to the bottom of the ocean floor, my heart follows suit to the pit of my stomach.

Garrett Levine, the one who got away—the man who’s been the root of my self-destructive behavior. We’d once been happy—so in love, I secretly deemed us to living the happily ever after little girls dream of.

Well, until I pushed him away.

Four and a half years ago, Garrett vanished from my life. Poof! Gone. Without a trace. The ol’ “now you see me, now you don’t” trick. But not before he took the last fragment of my heart and smashed it into twenty-thousand pieces. “I love you, Leila, but I can’t be with you.” That phrase. The day. The time. The exact moment is branded into my broken heart.

I don't blame Garrett for his Houdini disappearing act. Given the choice, I would’ve left me, too. In fact, I have left me. Hurting the only man I ever loved had never been my intention, but do people ever really set out to hurt the ones they love? Are there people in this world who wake up one morning, and say, “I think I’m going to go out and break someone’s heart today”?

I hadn’t thought about the ramifications of my decision and never stopped to think about Garrett or his feelings. I could chalk it up to being young and dumb, though some could argue my decision making skills have never been the best. Prime example: my horrible lack of judgment or self-control when it comes to drinking and spreading my legs. Those two usually come hand-in-hand for me. Tack on barely knowing any of these men, and the cherry on top of the slut-tastic sundae I'm serving: I can't remember half of their freaking names—and I’m the damn poster child for shitty decisions.

For four years, I’ve tried to forget, to erase the memories lurking in the deep depths of my brain. While alcohol and men managed to get the job done for a short time, today isn't one of those days—no, today, I’ve obviously pissed off the universe. Her sick, twisted sense of humor hasn't only thrown me into the pits of hell with Bridezilla, she's given me Bridezilla's younger, prettier, basket case of a sister for shits and giggles, and the man I loved, longed for—the one who fell off the face of the earth—has returned. Well played, Universe, well played. It seems the purgatory of my present and the sins of my past are about to collide.

Teaser reveal and Cover Spotlight: BROKEN by Lauren Layne

BROKEN by Lauren Layne Teaser Reveal and Cover Spotlight

Lauren Layne, the author of the hit New Adult romance Isn’t She Lovely, and Random House’s Flirt imprint, are thrilled to share a first look at BROKEN, Lauren’s upcoming New Adult romance, and spotlight her gorgeous new cover!





BROKEN by Lauren Layne
Flirt New Adult Romance
On sale: September 2, 2014
ISBN: 978-0-553-39035-3

About the book:

Lauren Layne’s heart-wrenching novel tells the story of a girl with secrets, a guy with scars, and a love that could save them both . . . or destroy them.

When Olivia Middleton abandons the glamour of Park Avenue for a remote, coastal town in Maine, everyone assumes she’s being the kind do-gooder she’s always been. But Olivia has a secret: helping an injured war veteran reenter society isn’t about charity—it’s about penance. Only, Olivia’s client isn’t the grateful elderly man she’s expecting. Instead, he’s a brooding twenty-four-year-old who has no intention of being Olivia’s path to redemption . . . and whose smoldering gaze and forbidden touch might be her undoing.

Paul Langdon doesn’t need a mirror to show him he’s no longer the hotshot quarterback he was before the war. He knows he’s ugly—inside and out. He’ll do anything to stay in self-imposed exile, even accept his father’s ultimatum that Paul tolerate the newest caretaker for three months or lose his inheritance. But Paul doesn’t count on the beautiful twenty-two-year-old who makes him long for things that he can never have. And the more she slips past his defenses, the more keeping his distance is impossible.

Now Paul and Olivia have to decide: Will they help each other heal? Or are they forever broken?

** Teaser Reveal!**

Olivia squirms. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I've never known a female to acquiesce that easily without a catch. How about you hit me with it now and get it over with?”
Olivia shrugs. "Fine. I was going to say that I won't run alone, if you promise to go with me."
"No," I say, almost before she's finished her sentence.
"Why not?"
I rap my cane once against the ground. "Well, for starters, despite the fact that there are tortoises that could surpass your sorry excuse for a jog, I'm in no shape to accompany even the most pathetic of runners."
"What a handy skill you have of overloading a sentence with insults," she says as she reaches up to adjust her ponytail. "That must be helpful what with your thriving social life and all."
I thump my cane against the ground again, studying her. "Must be nice, picking on the cripple."
Olivia rolls her eyes. "Please. Your soul's more crippled than your leg."
She has no idea how right she is, and I have no intention of letting her anywhere close enough to find out. I've gotten good at shutting people out by pushing them away . . . being as nasty as possible until they reach their breaking point. But with her? It's different.




We hope you enjoyed this sneak peek of BROKEN by Lauren Layne! Love everything Lauren Layne? Her newest adult contemporary romance in the Sex, Love and Stiletto series, JUST ONE NIGHT, is on sale now!
