{Release Blitz} Tears of Ink by Anna Bloom




Title: Tears of Ink
Series: Tears of #1
Author: Anna Bloom
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 6, 2018



Blurb

She has one rule: Never sleep with someone twice.
Faith Hitchin wears the shadows of the past on her skin for all to see. To a stranger’s eye, she is a girl with sass and tattoos, a lover of art. But beneath the mystery of swirls and ink, she is woman alone and in pain.

When opportunity knocks in the form of an invitation to an art project that could change the direction of her life, she’s afraid to move forward. But, like her namesake, she pushes past all inhibitions and takes a leap of Faith. The last thing she imagines is a summer of self-discovery at the hands of a sexy Baroness’ son.

Elijah Fairclough is arrogant yet charming, complicated but forthcoming. With his blue eyes, expensive suits and evasive attitude, it seems he’s used to getting what he wants, and he wants nothing more than to discover the woman beneath the tattoos in every way possible. Will Elijah’s persistence make her break her only rule, or will there be tears of ink?

SERIES REVIEW

Dark Romance books are my guilty pleasure. Bethany-Kris books? Another! The Andino + Haven Series starts off with Duty, a Mafia Romance. If you've read Bethany-Kris books before you know if you want a good Mafia Romance that will suck you in, you go straight to her and with Duty that rings true. 

Andino Marcello is next in line for the Mafia throne when he meets Haven. With instant chemistry, sparks fly immediately, but Andino has a duty to his family. Balancing loyalty and love, family and romance, Duty is the first part of Andino and Haven's story. 

Told in multiple points of view, Duty is fast paced, action filled and steamy. With the intensity that lingers between Andino and Haven, it's hard to put this book down once you've started reading. Duty is yet another five star read from author Bethany-Kris' whose writing is expertly captivating. 

Vow is the second part of Andino and Haven's story. Heartbreakingly seperated after an intense affair, Andino is ready for a fight. Remaining honorable to his family is hard when all he wants to do is win back Haven's love, but he's determined to have his happily ever after with her. With the perfect blend of action, suspense and romance, Kris' writing is once again excellent and on point with Vow. Her characters are complex, but Andino and Haven are two that you fall in love with over and over. The passion that exudes from this couple is steamy and explosive.

Excerpt

Location: Afghanistan

The afternoon sun shimmered against the horizon, heavy and ominous. Sunglasses cut through most of the glare, as sweat slid down the bridge of my nose. The heat of the day coupled with the lack of breeze had the marketplace stinking of rotten food.
Heartbeat elevated, stomach clenched, eyes narrowed—I was watchful. I kept reminding myself the monarch would only be in Afghanistan for less than forty-eight hours.
A lot could go wrong in forty-eight hours.
A car idling near the escort caught my attention. We were waiting for the monarch to finish his meeting with the newly elected president. I didn't like the position of the car.
"ALPHA One to CHARLIE Four, can you guys shift the white Toyota?"
"Roger, ALPHA One."
One minute. Two. No movement of the vehicle. My gut clenched. Something wasn't right.
The radio crackled. "ALPHA One, looks like a flat."
"Fuck." My eyes met Jack's before he looked back over at the car. I shifted my piece, using my free hand to click the radio. "CHARLIE, is it legit? What's the cargo?"
"Seems so. Just a bunch of fruit." Grover's voice was sarcastic in reply. I gritted my teeth. I couldn't wait till that little gnat went home.
My eyes flicked around the busy city centre, assessing. "CHARLIE, I need that vehicle moved in the next five. BETA team, start prepping secondary exit." I dropped my hand, turning to Jack. "This doesn't feel right."
"No." His face was grim as he watched the heaving mass of the market. "Something smells off." His smile was immediate. "Pun unintended."
I ignored him. "I'm going to raise the threat level." I raised my hand again to my equipment.
A voice crackled through the radio, halting my move. "Rose on the move."
 I hit the call button. "All teams be alert. Threat raised to Amber."
Jack fell into step beside me. "Secondary exit?"
I nodded, deciding it was a go. "I don’t like this."
I saw The Rose hit the exit, bodyguards flanking him. He had personal protection from Katura and some of our best on him, including Colonel Foster. There was no reason to feel this anxious.
I met the colonel's gaze as we started towards the entourage, my hand raising to signal our change of plans. He nodded, turning towards The Rose.
The red dot hovered for a brief moment on the king's chest.
"Get down!"
"Incoming!"

Romig never fails to disappoint and with Secrets she sure delivers! From the very start, I was hooked. A fast paced, wild ride, I was in for it from the moment the book began. The action starts immediately, no slow build up here. 

Secrets has it all. Captivating and dark, it's full of twists, turns and surprises. Sterling is dark and mysterious and I can't wait until we find out more about him. Araneae on the other hand is sassy and strong but Sterling has the ability to make her weak... which you can't blame a gal for. 

From start to finish, Secrets is brilliantly written and utterly intriguing. I can't wait for the next book.

{Cover Reveal} Cold Cole Heart by K. Webster

Cold Cole Heart

by K Webster 
Date: November 14, 2018 
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Dark Romance


I once was a hero. 
Until she kept me as her captive, tortured me, and killed my brothers. 
She bred a monster. 
Nothing could stop me from seeking revenge. 
But it was over so quickly—her easy death a mercy she didn’t deserve. 

 For a decade, the burning rage of what she did has transformed into something uncontrollable. 
Something I want to feed. 
Something I crave to unleash. 

 I want to make her pay. 
Over and over and over again. 

 Finding the evil, spoiled women sates my ravenous, vengeful soul. 
I hunt. 
I capture. 
I destroy. 
Slowly. So slowly. 
One, two, three, four, five… 
And now six. 

 I’m wicked and sadistic. 
I am Cold Cole Heart. 
My mission is death and their payment to me has come due. 

 Number six thinks she is different. 
Yet when I look at her, I see them. 
She will pay.
They always do.

{Blog Tour} Heath by K Webster and Nikki Ash

Heath

by K Webster and Nikki Ash 
Publication Date: October 25, 2018 
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Read for FREE in KindleUnlimited: 
Amazon US | Amazon UK | Amazon AU | Amazon CA

A modern telling of a classic tale... This isn’t a typical love story. This is a story of what happens when love is so powerful and all-consuming that it has the ability to destroy everyone involved. It’s definitely not pretty and it’s certainly not a fairytale, but it’s their story and it couldn’t be told any other way.



Review

“This brutal cage of a body imprisons my soul

– a dark, heavy soul who only wants his other half.”
K Webster and Nikki Ash take readers on a wild ride, a roller coaster of emotions with Heath, a modern retelling of one of my favorite classics. Not a fairytale and definitely in no way a happily ever after, Heath is a complex book that will have your emotions all twisted around. One minute you will love a character, the next you will despise them. 

Heath, himself... Well, this is his story. His obsessive, revengeful love story. And Heath will stay with you long after you've read the last page. A truly memorable character. 

Filled with angst, drama and all the feels, Heath is epic. A dark romance full of obsession, insanity and sacrifice. 

Even days after finishing Heath I'm still wondering what in the world I read.. Webster and Ash blew my mind. Seriously.
