HARMONY & HIGH HEALS RELEASE DAY BLITZ




Blurb:

From New York Times Bestselling author Tracy Wolff and International Bestselling author Katie Graykowski comes a sizzling tale of heartbreak, Harley-Davidsons and high heels …

Harmony Wright is a bad girl living a good girl’s life. From the time she was born, she’s always been the good twin. The ladylike twin. The twin her high society (or at least as high society as you can get in San Angelo, TX) mom likes to parade in front of all her garden club friends. She’s gone along with it, too—wearing pearls and Chanel when ripped jeans and motorcycle boots are more her speed. But when Harmony takes off for an extended visit with her twin sister, Lyric, she leaves her good girl persona in the dust …

Dalton Mane knows what it is to be bad and he’s more than ready for the peace that comes with living the good life. Once the crown prince of a powerful biker gang, Bastards of Hell, he walked away from it all when tragedy struck. Now the general manager of the Fort Worth Wranglers, he spends his time wheeling and dealing in the sports world and all while keeping an entire team of football players in line.
When Harmony crashes into Dalton, his tidy little life is over. Will he give up everything to keep Harmony out of trouble?

About the Authors

Tracy Wolff


Tracy Wolff collects books, English degrees and lipsticks and has been known to forget where—and sometimes who—she is when immersed in a great novel. At six she wrote her first short story—something with a rainbow and a prince—and at seven she forayed into the wonderful world of girls lit with her first Judy Blume novel. By ten she’d read everything in the young adult and classics sections of her local bookstore, so in desperation her mom started her on romance novels. And from the first page of the first book, Tracy knew she’d found her life-long love. Now an English professor at her local community college, she writes romances that run the gamut from contemporary to paranormal to erotic suspense.



And for all of those who want the unedited version:

Tracy Wolff lives with four men, teaches writing to local college students and spends as much time as she can manage immersed in worlds of her own creation. Married to the alpha hero of her dreams for twelve years, she is the mother of three young sons who spend most of their time trying to make her as crazy as possible.

ONE SNOWY NIGHT (HEARTBREAKER BAY #2.5)

New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis returns to Heartbreaker Bay with a fun and festive holiday novella!



It’s Christmas Eve and Rory Andrews is desperate to get home to the family she hasn’t seen in years. Problem is, her only ride to Lake Tahoe comes in the form of the annoyingly handsome Max Stranton, and his big, goofy, lovable dog Carl.



Hours stuck in a truck with the dead sexy Max sounds like a fate worse than death (not), but Rory’s out of options. She’s had a crush on Max since high school and she knows he’s attracted to her, too. But they have history… and Max is the only one who knows why it went south.



They’ve done a good job of ignoring their chemistry so far, but a long road trip in a massive blizzard might be just what they need to face their past… and one steamy, snowy night is all it takes to bring Max and Rory together at last.

Liza’s Review:

One Snowy Night was a wonderful novella length story from Jill Shalvis. I really enjoyed getting to see Rory and Max get their story.

I love when there is a history between the hero and heroine. Add in a high school crush, and you are giving me a favorite trope. I loved both Max and Rory were insanely attracted to one another, yet hated the shadow from their past kept them initially from acting on said attraction. Even though One Snowy Night was a novella length story, I loved we got more background information on both Rory and Max and it honestly only made me love Rory even more as a character. She is such a strong person and I think with Max she found someone strong enough to love and support her. Max and Rory had amazing chemistry and while everything moved fast, I totally could see them working as a couple.

One Snowy Night was an enjoyable and fast-paced story. I am a big fan of books in a series and find that Jill Shalvis is a master at pulling her readers into her series whether it in a full length story or a novella length story.

ARCHANGEL'S HEART (GUILD HUNTER #9)

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh takes us into a dangerous and exhilarating world where a deadly, beautiful archangel and his once-mortal consort are caught in a fury of twisted darkness…

One of the most vicious archangels in the world has disappeared. No one knows if Lijuan is dead or has chosen to Sleep the long sleep of an immortal. But with her lands falling into chaos under a rising tide of vampiric bloodlust, a mysterious and ancient order of angels known as the Luminata calls the entire Cadre together to discuss the fate of her territory.

Accompanying her archangelic lover Raphael to the Luminata compound, guild hunter-turned-angel Elena senses that all is not as it seems. Secrets echo from within the stone walls of the compound, and the deeper Elena goes, the uglier the darkness. But neither Raphael nor Elena is ready for the brutal truths hidden within—truths that will change everything Elena thinks she knows about who she is…

Nothing will ever be the same again.

Liza’s Review:

I fell in love with the Guild Hunter series from the very first book. Yes I love the Psy-Changeling series from Ms. Singh, but the Guild Hunter series is where I started reading her books, so they have an extra special place in my heart. I absolutely love the fact that we got another book that focused on Raphael and Elena with Archangel's Heart.

Archangel's Heart was one of those books I wish I could have read in one sitting, even as I didn't want the story to end. Seriously this story was so hard to put down, as it pulled me in from the very first page. I loved we got to learn more about Elena's family's past, as Elena, Raphael, and Aodhan travel to the meeting of the Cadre at the Luminata. Yes much of the story is about the past in Archangel's Heart, and my history loving heart loved learning more about some of my favorite characters.

I loved seeing Elena, Raphael, and Aodhan investigate the Luminata as they all felt like something was off from the moment they arrived. I love how Elena's hunter instincts are such an important part of her character and that Raphael totally and completely gets and supports her need to ferret out the truth. I felt like we got a little more insight into Aodhan in Archangel's Heart. He has always intrigued me and I found myself falling for "Sparkle" a bit more as he began to be more open as the story progressed. I have to say I was a bit thrown by some of what the Luminata was involved in, but the entire story kept me on the edge of my seat with each new reveal.

Archangel's Heart is one of my favorite books in the Guild Hunter series to date. I always love getting more time with Elena and Raphael in the series. I honestly felt the growth and change of so many characters thanks to learning more about each one's past. Archangel's Heart is a wonderful, emotion-filled, story and I highly recommend it.

Tempting Texas

TEMPTING TEXAS (St. Martin’s Paperbacks; November 1, 2016; $7.99; 978-1-250-06397-7.)

Jenna Tucker has had enough of the moonshine business. She hates her family’s legacy and wants nothing more than to forget she’s a Tucker and focus on her one true passion—horses.

With her share of the proceeds from the sale of the newly discovered recipe, Jenna intends to renovate her grandfather’s old spread and breed cutting horses. But when Jenna finds an old trunk in the attic that proves the feud between the Sawyers and the Tuckers was caused by something much bigger than a disagreement over a moonshine recipe, she realizes that escaping her family’s legacy won’t be as easy as renovating an old ranch house.

Jenna needs to uncover the truth once and for all—a truth that could change the history of the entire town of Rebel, and to do it she needs to get close to Sheriff Hunter Dugan. Hunter, a direct descendant of patriarch Elijah Sawyer, just might be the key to the town’s deepest, darkest secret, and the man responsible for her grandfather’s death.
