 I didn’t set out to be a pirate.  

Life for me was about surviving the ugliness that people knew existed but didn’t talk about. 

 I lived in hell.

  Then I saw her. 

 I knew I couldn’t keep her, but for just a little while I had found heaven.  

Eight years later, I can’t get her out of my head. It is a mistake sailing to her island. 

 It is a mistake reaching out to her.  

She doesn’t recognize me. 

Or maybe she does. 

 Closure, it is all I’m after.  

Then my past comes back to haunt me. 

 She’s thrust into my ruthless world. 

An angel.

  A romantic who has a journal that leads to a shipwreck and a lost treasure.  

She wants to find the ending to a love story that is over two hundred years in the making.

 

I want to help her find it.I didn’t set out to be a pirate.

I didn’t set out to fall in love with an angel.

I did both anyway.

The one treasure Noah wants is one he thinks he doesn't deserve... Willow.

Take this sexy, adventurous ride filled with mystery and romance to find the one treasure they both want more than any jewel or bar of gold...Eternal Love! 

This story totally captured me and sailed me away to an amazing journey of love that was sweet, hot, angsty, raw, and beautifully told.

I enjoyed the twist and mystery of the modern day pirate.  

I would not mind meeting one like Noah in person

Noah, he totally had me at love at first bumping into and then some.

I fell for Willow and her HUGE romantic heart.  I could relate to her with wanting her Happily Ever After.

All the other characters in this book were memorable and had me wondering if Author LA Fiore will deliver us more of them in their own books.

Go Pick up this book and find out if true love can be found if you are ruthless and persistent in getting what you want.

L.A. Fiore is the author of several books including Beautifully Damaged, Collecting the Pieces and His Light in the Dark. Her favorite movie is Star Wars, a love her son shares. They hope to build their own Millennium Falcon one day. She would like to meet the Winchester Boys to thank them for enlightening her on the versatility of salt as not just a food enhancer, but as protection from supernatural threats. And she thinks it would be interesting to be a zombie, to get an idea of what life is like as a brain-addicted fiend so she can be their voice to tell their side of the story. She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and kids, their two spoiled cats and their awesome dog.

COVER REVEAL: Drunk Dial by Penelope Ward

We are excited to bring you the upcoming standalone from New York Times, USA Today, and #1 Wall Street Journal Bestselling author Penelope Ward.

DRUNK DIAL will release on AUGUST 21!

   

Cover designer: Letitia Hasser, RBA designs

Cover Model: Vadim Ivanov

Cover Photography: Kevin Roldan

 
  From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new, sexy standalone novel. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Look up Landon Roderick, that boy from childhood whom I’d never been able to forget—even though he so easily forgot about me—and call him. Then again, anything sounds like a good idea when you’ve had a little too much wine before bed, right? It was supposed to be just a quick, meaningless, prank call. Instead, I went off on him—unloading thirteen years of pent-up emotions. I didn’t think he’d call me back. I certainly could never have anticipated the weeks of sexually tense phone conversations that followed as I got to know the man he’d become. Turned out, Landon had never really forgotten me, either. That special connection we had was still there. I opened up to him, but there were also things about me he didn’t know. And he had his own secrets. Over the countless hours we talked on the phone, I wondered what would happen if we actually saw each other. One night, I did something impulsive again. Only this time, I went to the airport and booked a ticket to California. We were about to find out if one phone call could bring two lost souls together or if my drunk dial really was all just a big mistake.

 A complete STANDALONE.

REVIEW: TRUST by Kylie Scott

Being young is all about the experiences: the first time you skip school, the first time you fall in love…the first time someone holds a gun to your head.

After being held hostage during a robbery at the local convenience store, seventeen year old Edie finds her attitude about life shattered. Unwilling to put up with the snobbery and bullying at her private school, she enrolls at the local public high school, crossing paths with John. The boy who risked his life to save hers.

While Edie’s beginning to run wild, however, John’s just starting to settle down. After years of partying and dealing drugs with his older brother, he’s going straight—getting to class on time, and thinking about the future.

An unlikely bond grows between the two as John keeps Edie out of trouble and helps her broaden her horizons. But when he helps her out with another first—losing her virginity—their friendship gets complicated.

Meanwhile, Edie and John are pulled back into the dangerous world they narrowly escaped. They were lucky to survive the first time, but this time they have more to lose—each other.

“You were going to give it up to Duncan Dickerson?” he sneered. “Are you serious?”

I halted, staring at him. This was not good. “How do you know about that?”

“Anders overheard you and Hang talking.”

“Bastard.”

“Well?” he demanded, acting all authoritarian. Idiot.

“To be fair, I didn’t know his last name was Dickerson,” I said. “That’s unfortunate. Though, I wasn’t actually planning on marrying him, so . . .”

“Not funny.”

I shrugged.

“You barely know the guy.”

“Um, yeah. None of your concern. We’re not talking about this.” How mortifying! My face burned bright. People should just gather around and cook s’mores. “I appreciate that we’re friends. You mean a lot to me. But this is going to have to fall under definitely none of your damn business, so go away please.”

“We’re talking about it.” He advanced a step.

“No we are not.” And I retreated.

“You were going to let a complete stranger touch you.” Advance.

Retreat. “People do it all the time. You do it all the time.”

“But you don’t,” he said, taking the final step, backing me up against the side of his car and getting all in my face. “Edie, this is your first time we’re talking about. Isn’t it?”

“Yes, and it’s going to be messy and painful and probably horribly embarrassing and I just want it over and done with.” I tried to meet his eyes but failed, settling for a spot on his right shoulder. “You’re not a girl; you wouldn’t understand. Also, last time I checked, you’re not the gatekeeper of my hymen, John Cole. So back the fuck off.”

He said nothing.

Deep, calming breaths. “Look, someday I’ll meet someone I really like and we’ll have a deep and meaningful relationship and go at it like bunnies. But I don’t want to be the dumb virgin in that scenario.”

He slowly shook his head.

“Also, I do not want to die a virgin.”

“What? What the hell are you talking about?”

“Hey, you and I both know death can occur at any time.”

“This is crazy.”

“I’m seeing a therapist!” I told his shoulder. “I don’t know if you noticed, but I’m a little bit messed up these days. It’s hard for me to trust people. That’s not going to change anytime soon.”

He screwed up his face at me. “Wha—”

“I’m just trying to be practical.”

“Well, you’re being ridiculous. None of this makes sense.”

“It does to me.”

Again, he said nothing.

In fact, he said nothing for so long that I finally looked him in the eye. The anger had left him, replaced by an emotion I didn’t recognize. Worst of all, he still smelled like summer. A little sweat and the open night air, everything I loved. Liked. I meant liked.

“What?” I said, finally.

He let loose a breath. “I’ll do it.”

This is a must read book.

The story starts off with a shocker of a scene that left me crying and gasping at the same time.

Author Kylie Scott first time writing in the Young Adult book and she did an amazing job.

This story will leave a mark on you.

The complex of trusting someone, especially thru traumatic events as well as being a teenager coming into your own is one we can all relate to.

This book delivers it.

It also delivers a positive message to all to be comfortable with oneself no matter what everyone else around you thinks,
love whoever you want,
make changes for yourself: not others,
you are beautiful/handsome in many eyes no matter what shape, size gender, religion you are.

Learn to Trust yourself before you can Trust others.
