Jeanne McDonald is hosting a Goodreads Book Giveaway from February 3 – March 3, 2014. Enter for a chance to win a signed copy of her novel The Truth in Lies.

Synopsis:

Life is a sequence of choices. Some are deliberate, others are forced upon you. This was a lesson that McKenzie Evans knew all too well. After the miscarriage of her son, she made the hard decision to leave her absentee boyfriend and move in with her former college roommate, Olivia Hamilton. That’s when she was introduced to Andrew Wise, a brilliant attorney, working for his family’s law firm in Sarasota, Florida.

To McKenzie, Drew became her salvation. He had a way of understanding her when no one else could. The closer they became, the more McKenzie found herself falling in love with Drew. He was everything she ever dreamed of in a man, and for the first time in her life, she felt truly alive. There was only one problem. Drew was dating Olivia.

With the help of fate and circumstance, Drew and McKenzie journey down a path of unrequited love and denied feelings. In the end, they must make a choice between their hearts or their consciences. In this one decision they discover that there’s always a glimmer of truth to a lie, that there’s a fine line between love and friendship, and sometimes you have to risk everything to gain everything.

Coming APRIL 10th: a contemporary erotic romance from April Emerson

Synopsis: 

Small moments can seem insignificant until they change the course of a life forever. The sound of a bulldozer. A chance meeting at a gas station. A gust of wind through a chime. Benign events become something more when viewed through the lens of fate.

Emma Santori is a prisoner of tragic memories. Locked in a spiral of depression, she leads a desolate and empty life, trapped in her decrepit home. Rooted in routine, she’s numb and vacant. As a lonely Catholic school teacher, her only joy comes from her young students. One Saturday morning, her isolation is infiltrated by a mysterious architect building a home beside hers.

That man is Eric Wilder and he’s keeping a secret—a secret that’s destroying his life. Filled with guilt and self-loathing, he’s forced to move often. He chooses the small northeastern town of Pine Lake as his latest refuge, and hopes to make a successful attempt at starting his life over. As always, he’s unable to make that happen.

That all changes when he meets Emma.

She finds herself drawn to Eric when she accidentally bumps into him, but Eric’s unfazed by their first meeting. When a gust of wind brings these two people together once again, Emma discovers Eric’s secret. She’s forced to battle between her Catholic faith and her desire for this stranger.

Their attraction is intense and they soon discover they’re each lonely and longing for what the other has to offer. As their friendship blossoms, Emma realizes her passion and lust for Eric are the remedy to her depression. Eric discovers his feelings for Emma are the only antidote to his secret burden.

They begin an erotic journey, which leads these beautifully broken people to discover that love can be both righteous and wicked.

Excerpt:

Although she holds herself to a rigid moral code, a part of her wants to indulge. Emma sits as the thumping music rattles her body and the vibration sinks into her skin. She picks up her martini as Abby and Danni shout at each other and laugh. The topics of conversation are just as expected and Emma has nothing to say. She sips the liquid. It’s chilled, yet it feels as if it singes her insides. Her eyes wander around the club. They stop when she sees a man dressed in black resting his elbow on the bar.

His back is to her but she’s drawn to him. She can only see his profile as she watches him watching the crowd. He does a shot and then another. A feeling of recognition slides through her as he begins to move, his eyes focused on something or someone. He maneuvers through the crowd, approaching the dance floor like a shark surveying its prey. A raven-haired girl in a gold top is dancing with her friend. The man moves toward the girl and his face is clear now. Emma has seen him before. She remembers the face, and the eyes—Stormy Eyes. It’s the man she saw at the gas station. She sips, she watches him, and she burns.

The Righteous and The Wicked will be available on 4/10/14 from TWCS Publishing

Dream of the Cursed on Tour!!!

Posted by Allie Jean on December 1, 2013
Posted in: Allie Jean, Reviews, The Dreamer Series. 1 Comment

We are so excited about the buzz of Allie’s new book, Dreams of the Cursed. It’s the second installment of the Dreamer series. Hear what readers are saying . . .

 

“I loved book  1 of the series so I knew I would love book 2 before I had even read it. In Dreams of the Cursed  we find Chantal dreaming to try and find the young Dreamer who were taken in the first book. When she does find them she also comes across a woman in a box. Chantal rescues her too and after lots of fighting the bad guys they get back to safety.

Chantal has grown to be a great warrior but first and foremost she still needs to be protected as she is (as far as they know) the oldest living Oracle.

There is a lot of twists to this book and just when you think Chantal and Mathias may get a happy ever after it all changes.

Dreams of the Cursed kept me gripped from start to finish. The story flowed perfectly and it was very well written.”

FIVE STARS!!!

“The Dreams of the Cursed” is a sequel to a spectacular book “Legacy of a Dreamer”. I really enjoyed the first one in the “Dreamer” series, so I grabbed the opportunity to read the second book. 

“The Dreams of the Cursed” starts there where the first one stops. There is few breathing space for Chantal and Mathias as they have to fight against evil forces. The story is heavily packed with action. There is some room left for the romance too, but fortunately not much. Little romance in fantasy fiction is my own personal taste, though. 

I liked the writing too, it’s beautiful, smooth and therefore, easy to read. Dialogues make this book incredibly fast to go through. 

But somehow it took me too long to finish this book. I read many books before finishing this one. I don’t know really why, because “The Dreams of the Cursed” was an interesting story…

If you haven’t read “Legacy of a Dreamer” you may do so now. And if you have already read the first book and haven’t read the second, you have to know what happens with Chantal and her friends, right? And in order to find out …? Yes, you should read “Dreams of the Cursed”.

“Allie Jean penned yet another fantastic instalment of the Dreamer series with Dreams of the Cursed, it started from where book one left off where the young dreamers or Oracles had been taken and Chantal Breelan, the oldest living Oracle manages to find where they are through her dreams.

She is still under the warriors protection but goes with them to save the girls and fights her way through her  evil brothers warriors, she also saves a woman, who does not talk hates the warriors who look very similar to her brothers warriors she is reveals during the book.

Mathias is still as hot as ever but there is doubt in Chantal’s mind when he reveals his secret and then war breaks out with evil Fallen Angels and her brothers warriors. Is it too late to sort their differences?

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish but left needing to read book three.”

A Must Read!!!

Dreams of the Cursed
Book #2 in the Dreamer Series
A violent war has waged in secret underneath the notice of humanity since the beginning of time. Evil has pledged the destruction of humanity in spite of a power those that covet it could not possibly contain. Now the Warriors have inherited this fight and are honor-bound to rid the world of this ancient malevolence. By guarding the most precious, piercing light they possess—their female kin known as the Oracles, or Dreamers—the Warriors have a chance against the darkness.
Chantal Breelan has suffered from horrific nightmares for most of her life, believing something is wrong with her to have such visions of destruction. But when creatures of terror came crawling out of the shadows to hunt her down shortly after her eighteenth birthday, she discovered the truth. Her dreams became reality, throwing her headfirst into a battle wrought by cursed monsters, where death and torture lie at every turn.
Mathias is a descendant of a Fallen Angel and a powerful Warrior. He vows his life in service to pay recompense for the sins of their fathers by guarding Chantal from within the shadows. Long has he fought, shedding sweat and blood, hoping that his struggles wouldn’t be in vain. With Chantal’s life in danger, he’s been forced to reveal himself, yet she has managed to surprise him with her fierce tenacity and strength. In his sacrifice, he finds redemption and life’s ultimate reward—a love to surpass all time.
Now Chantal has picked up the reins of her birthright and stands by her Warrior kin, by Mathias. She’s on a mission to rescue others like herself. Yet, in this challenge, a battle of wits is exposed. New players are discovered, throwing strategies into question. When the truth comes to light, can Chantal hold her band of brothers together, or will they crumble under the weight of betrayal?

Praise For Dreams of the Cursed
“Legacy of a Dreamer was fast paced but DREAMS OF THE CURSED blows it away. Ms. Jean’s fascinating world exists within and beside ours. It’s occasionally glimpsed out of the corner of your eye yet gone when you turn. More of the history of the Fallen and Contrite is divulged giving rise to as many or more questions than were answered. The mythology being created is engrossing and elaborate.” – IvyD for Manic Readers

Happy Release Week!!!

RiverbendTheCollectionOfficial

Nestled deep in Northwest Pennsylvania, in the thick forest of the AlleghenyMountains, is a quiet community named Kennerdell. Rich in Native American andEuropean settlement history with few inhabitants and a charming culture, growingup there was simple for Lena Woodruff.

But when grief stepped in and darkened her life-everything changed and after years of escape, Lena is forced to return home.

A web of mystery and danger that dates back to America’s earliest days, quickly weaves around her and when a longtime friend, one who knows the tragedythat plagues Lena’s heart, comes back into her life – things get complicated.

Grief darkens her thoughts while insecurity and self-doubt cause the linesbetween reality and imagination to blur. Just when she thinks she can’t take anymore, a small glimmer of hope arises.

A sudden and unexpected need for love begins a conflict between self-doubt and the promise of something better.

Where strength can be weakness and vulnerability-an asset, the greatest danger that threatens Lena in Kennerdell may just be herself.

Will she be able to unfold the truth around this mystery or will it be easier to run away?

Love, danger, and history collide in Riverbend: The Collection

Look for it on Kindle October 8, 2013!
