Beside Your Heart by Mary Whitney Blog Tour- Jo-Anna's post

Beside Your Heart by Mary Whitney
Hosted by: Bare Naked Words

 

"It's an emotional story that will take the reader back to those feelings that made the late teen years such a powerful time."
Late one night Nicki Johnson plays with emotional fire and Googles her high school love, only to find his name splashed across the British gossip columns. Back in his native England, Adam Kincaid is successful and dating a woman from an aristocratic family like his own. With a career in politics, Nicki’s no slouch, but she knows Adam is living a world away from her life.
Yet there was a time he was no farther than the next locker. Nicki will never forget their year together in high school—the year of her sister’s death, the year her mother checked out. Adam helped Nicki through suffocating grief, and she led him through a coming of age. Was it just high school, or was it something more?
***The sequel, Disclosure of the Heart, released November 5**


Jo-Anna's Review:

I joined this blog tour because the book sounded very interesting and boy am I glad that I did. 

We meet Nicki who is suffering the loss of her sister.
In comes Adam and David. Two hot British brothers? Hello! 

This story is about Adam bringing Nicki out of her sorrow and the difficult time in her life. I couldn't even being to imagine what I would do if I lost my sister. The emotions the author portrayed through this novel were spot on.

I thought this book was really well written. Great job Mary!

The story is set in highschool but it's more of a NA novel if you ask me. Some content isn't suitable for a younger audience. I enjoy YA/NA all around and I'm so glad that I decided to read this story. I can't wait for the sequel. 

I enjoyed the development of the characters and the bonds that were built and broken over the course of the story was written well also.  

Nicki was frustrating at times but most 17 year old girls can be so I got over it quickly. It was understandable for her to feel the way she was feeling after having losing her sister. The book jumps from the present to the past and ends in the future which the next book will be set in which is 2009. 

I look forward to reading the next book!!!

Hers by Dawn Robertson



Blurb:

I am weak.
I am lonely.
I am a slut.
I am strong.
I am Dominant.
I am independent.
I am Seven James.

My entire life, no one has wanted me, and that was fine, because I sure as shit didn't need anyone else. Blah, Blah Blah, insert sad story here about negligent parents, and shitty siblings, and you have my life story in a nut shell. When my college boyfriend dumped me, it was just icing on the cake. Five years, and a booming career later I am here to collect my revenge.

That was until a delicious plaything walked into the kink club I frequent, and rocked my typically un-rockable world. Causing me to break the one rule I have lived by since Daniel Alexander walked out of my life, never have sex with the same person twice. Ever.

Warning!!!! Hers contains sexually explicit situations that may be uncomfortable for some. These include FF, FMF, and MFM interactions.


Jo-Anna's Review:

So I started chatting with this author through our fb page and she is very nice by the way and I've heard so much about this book but I never read the blurb. Well I finally did and just from that, I was hooked. 

I started the book today (October 23, 2013) and I needed to start my review or else I'd forget everything. 

First thing: First chapter...HOLY BALLS BATMAN!! Wow. Hot. And Levi? Holy crap. The things Seven and him do...wow...just wow. So anyways, back track. We meet Seven. She's a very successful 27 year old woman who makes appearances at this kink club. Star is her best friend and she has a thing with every so often.

Seven is closed off. A strong woman but her walls start cracking when she meets newbie, Levi and she can't figure out why.

Levi? Holy swoon batman. He submits right away but little does Seven know, that she's submitting as well. I love their banter. I love the sex scene's. I also love that it's no holds barred and he's willing to do anything to make her happy and I do mean anything.

And Daniel is a douche. That is all. Carry on. He's not even worth mentioning more about. Ugh. I do not like him at all.

But this is the card we have been handed. This is our love story. Who are we to question fate?

I really enjoyed the ending of this book. Yes it leaves some questions unanswered but I'm the type of reader that loves cliffhangers or a book that leaves you wanting more. 

I love you, Seven James. Will you let me want you forever?

AWWWWWWWWWWWW!  

I messaged the author right away and I totally told her that I have a girl crush on her and Seven and that's never happened before. Lol! 

This book as a whole is HOT! Dawn does amazingly well for her debut novel and I'm dying to read the rest of her books. 

Author Information:

Dawn is a woman of many colors. Born and raised in the North-East, the youngest child of three, to two hard working, and extremely dedicated parents, she thrived on her love for creative writing. Her commitment to hard work lead her down a number of career paths over the years, stopping with her love for fiction.

In a bold, and unexpected move, she quit her full-time nine to five gig to thrust herself into her debut erotic novel, Hers.

Dawn is a mother, entrepreneur, and self proclaimed book whore.

Ashley Piscitelli Author Interview and Book Spotlight PLUS Giveaway!!!!


Surrender To Me

Blurb:


Rebecca Chase has never been interested in dating, and definitely not in relationships. She only had two goals in life, to get her college degree and to get the hell away from her house. When she meets Lucas everything that she thought she had wanted was now turned upside down.

Lucas Masterson has it all money, fame, and his dream job of being in the music industry. He knows that most people are just out for themselves and will use him as much as they can. When he meets Becca he realizes that he never really knew what he wanted. He thinks that she is the most amazing person he has ever met, but can he balance her and his crazy life?

 Can two people who come from completely different worlds make it work or will the people trying to tear them apart succeed?

Get ready to get lost in this crazy romantic adventure and surrender yourself to Lucas and Becca.

EXPECTED Release 12/16/2013


Excerpt 

When Luke reached one of the doors and opened it he looked behind him as if he expected me to be there. He looked down towards me, and seemed confused. “You coming Becca?” I wanted to tell him no because he was acting like an ass. “Please?”
I guess I could at least go talk to him and see what the hell he was so upset about. I walked toward him feeling his eyes on me the entire time, he made me so nervous. When I reached him he grabbed my hand and pulled me into the studio. Before the door could even close all of the way he was on me. He pushed me back against the wall his hands immediately finding my hips, which seemed to be his favorite spot.  His mouth crushed mine almost feeling like he was going to devour me whole. His kiss had this urgency and need to it that set my veins on fire. We had passion before when we kissed but it was nothing like this. This was animalistic, unapologetic, and completely overwhelming. I ran my hands up his chest gripping his t-shirt because I need something to hold onto, I felt like my knees would buckle and I would melt into him at any time. I moved my hands around his neck and laced them through his hair, giving him a little tug as I did it.
Luke let out this throaty moan that in the heat of the moment sounded like a growl. He lifted me off the ground by my hips and I instinctively wrapped my legs around his waist. I could feel how much he wanted me and I knew that if he initiated it now, public place or not, it would happen. Was this what I really wanted though? Did I want my first time to be in a recording studio while I braced up against a wall? The part of my mind that Jen told me I didn’t listen to enough was screaming ‘YES!’ There was the other part of me though that knew I would regret it, and possibly even resent him for it.

Author Interview:




*Walks around the coffee shop and see’s Ashley.  Angie Waves and then skips over.*



Hey Ashley!!  I am super excited to finally meet ya.  So I know you are a busy mom, author and student so I will make this quick.  Ok?


Angie:  “Ok so I will start off with some easy questions before jumping into the touch ones *Giggles*  What Celebrity do you see as Lucas and Becca?  Also while we are at it, what about Carter and Maddy and Jason and Nic from your other series Playing with Fire…..

I love doing this! For Becca I think Lucy Hale would be great, she has that sweet factor but is definitely sexy.
 

 For Lucas I am thinking Chris Evans, he has that boy next door factor but can definitely get your heart racing. 
 

For the Guarded Hearts Series my Carter was Zac Efron
 
 and my Maddy was Jennifer Lawrence.
 
 My Jason was Kellan Lutz 
 
and Nicole was Ashley Benson.



 I have even used their pictures for teasers to help create a visual for the fans.

Angie: “So when you write are you a pantser or plotter?”

I usually have the main ideas planned out. Sometimes though a whole scene or event I never imagined will emerge from something one of the characters had said. I always have my ideas at the weirdest times too like in the shower or when I’m driving.



Angie: ”When you do feel you write the best?  Morning, afternoon, evening????”

I don’t think it is a certain time for me, but I know I can’t force it. some times I see writers saying that they don’t feel like writing but that’s what they need to do. If I try to force myself I know that I wont be giving it everything I can and that the story will most likely suffer because of it.

Angie: ”Ok you can meet and hang out with ANY author alive or dead….who is it and why?”

I’m thinking right now I would say E.L. James. Mainly because I would try to squeeze anything I could out of her about the 50 shades movie! I think Christian will always be one of my favorite book boyfriends!

Angie: “Ok here is the ‘Lightning Round’, are you ready? 
 
 Favorite Color? pink
  Favorite Beverage (non alcoholic or alcoholic)?  Milkshakes!
Favorite band/music?  Carrie Underwood
Celebrity Hall Pass from your husband for a one night stand? Channing Tatum!


Angie : “ What conventions are you planning on attending in the next year so your fans can come and meet you?’
So far I am signed up for Authors In The City will be in New York on March 15th, Rom Com which will be in Denever June 20-22, and the Indie Mashup in Springdale Arkansas which will be on July 26th. I am also looking into a couple more signing and I’m so excited to be able to meet readers!

Angie: “ Ashley thank you so much for this fun interview.  I cant wait to read Lucas and Becca’s book.  Maybe I could interview them after the release????”

Definitely! I love doing character interviews they are so much fun!



Wanna check out her other work? 
Here ya go!!!
 Playing With Fire (Guarded Hearts, #1)

Blurb:

 Madison Stevens has had a rough life, her mother died at the age four and her father has always blamed her for it. She went through the foster system and is now attending college. Her boyfriend Chris is not willing to share Madison with anyone, not even her friends.

Her first day at college she meets Carter James, who makes her want everything she never thought she could have. She knows that she should ignore her feelings for Carter, but it's not as easy as it sounds.

As Carter and Madison begin to fall in love, they face many obstacles. Their biggest one is Chris who is not going to let her go easily.

Playing with Fire will be the first book in a three book series. It is about the obstacles that stand in your way on the path to love. It tests the characters strength and commitment to each other on every level from old boyfriend/girlfriends, to insecurities, and throws a little violence and scheming into the mix.

"Chris was like fire. It was pretty to look at but if you got too close you got burnt, and if it wasn’t controlled it would destroy everything in its path. Doing what I was about to do with Carter was dangerous, but what can I say I never had parents to warn me not to play with fire."

**Playing With Fire is for mature audiences only—strong language, and explicit sexual content are apparent.*


 Breaking Through The Wall (Guarded Hearts, #2)
Blurb;
Jason Smith hated the whole idea of relationships and commitment. He got what he needed from girls but that’s where it ended. At least that was how it was supposed to be. After a traumatic event he gets involved with the one girl who could force him to change his ways. Will he be able to commit to her though? Or will he drive her away before he ever has the chance to have her?

Madison and Carter finally found happiness but their lives have just been turned upside down, by someone who refuses to go away. Can their relationship survive the tragedy and pain that he has caused? What if justice doesn’t always win, and the bad guys get away?

What do you do when your whole world is turned upside down? When everything comes crumbling down around you, will you have the will to fight and break down the wall?

**Breaking Through The Wall is for mature audiences only—strong language, and explicit sexual content are apparent.**

Author Bio and Links


My name is Ashley Piscitelli. I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with my husband, two kids, and two dogs. On top of starting a writing career, I am a full-time student and a full-time mom. I love spending time with my kids, although I have to hide away with the computer from them when I am writing! I love being active and being outdoors.

I have always been passionate about writing. I wrote this book in about three months. I love reading romance books! I feel like being able to lose yourself in a book is one of the more exciting aspects. The books I love to read and write will be ones that make you feel for the characters. You should have an opinion on every character in a book whether you love them, hate them, or think they are up to something.

I have always thought that the most important critic is your reader, so I would love to hear from you. If you read the book and loved it or hated it, tell me. As long as it is in a constructive way, I will always answer and interact with you. I want my fans to be open & talk to me what they want for the characters in the story, and what they would  like to see happen.

I hope you all enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
