ALL FOR HOPE BOOK TOUR AND REVIEW


All of Hope

To protect her heart, he left her behind.

To protect her life, he’ll leave the life he’s made behind. Sometimes the safest distance between two hearts is no distance at all…

Kidnapping a baby wasn’t something Hope ever dreamed she would do. But she’s been burned by the legal system before, so when the court places her friend’s child into the custody of an abuser, she takes matters into her own hands. She steals the baby and fakes her death, hoping to make a clean getaway. She planned every detail, except one.

Her high school sweetheart and best friend, who left her years before, sees her at a gas station. Hope thinks all is lost, until he offers to help them.

Brennan had always been the love of Hope’s life, but he never wanted to be. She knows she cannot depend on him for long. However, as each day passes, it becomes painfully obvious that she is in way over her head. She goes with him, intending to keep him always an arm’s length away to protect her heart. But being on the run together sparks the old flames that once burned between Brennan and Hope.

Families, friends, and lovers must band together to save an innocent baby and a daring woman or both of their lives will be destroyed. Together, they’ll do it All for Hope…

About the Author – Olivia Hardin realized early on how strange she was to have complete movie-like character dreams as a child. Eventually she began putting those vivid dreams to paper and was rarely without her spiral notebooks full of those mental ramblings. Her forgotten vision of becoming an author was realized when she connected with a group of amazingly talented and fabulous writers who gave her lots of direction and encouragement. With a little extra push from family and friends, she hunkered down to get lost in the words. She’s also an insatiable crafter who only completes about 1 out of 5 projects, a jogger who hates to run, and is sometimes accused of being artistic, though she’s generally too much of a perfectionist to appreciate her own work. A native Texas girl, Olivia lives in the beautiful Lone Star state with her husband and their puppy Bonnie.

MY THOUGHTS:

I received a copy of this book in exchange for a honest and unbiased review. I do have to say that I have read each and every book from this amazing author. Typically I only ready books in the paranormal genre. When I first heard that the other was writing a contemporary book I was sceptical but that initial reaction was way beyond how I am feeling now. This author has changed my outlook into expanding into other genres. She captured my interest at first the beautiful cover then page 1. She has the unique ability to engage the readers into the story and captivate them into craving more from her. You can see the slow development of each and every character and can feel there are parts of people that she cares deeply for placed into each one. Mrs. Hardin is a author you can feel the emotions and love she holds for her characters and story as if their story must be told. I loved the interractions between Hope and Brennan. The author has you hoping and praying they are able to finally come together. To see two people give up everything for the saftey of a child that is not even related to them is truly selfless and endearing. Seeing Brennan take on the psedo role as father for the baby goes to show how much he has grown up with the help whether it was through her unconditional love or tough love Hope had to dole to him. I highly recommend this story to anyone that needs Hope in their lives. This was a very enjoyable storyline and I for one would never question a difference in her typical genre ever again.

TODAY ONLY
BY
D. LOVE

EDITED BY LIZZY FORD
COVER GRAPHICS BY AIRICKA PHOENIX

In life, there are times you are granted a miracle. It may not be the one you wanted exactly, but it will be the one you need. It will prepare you for the next step in your journey and help you learn to accept the life you are given, even if that life can be heartbreaking.

MY FEELINGS ON THIS FABULOUS BOOK: 5+ STARS

My thoughts on the book Today Only by D Love. There are no words that could begin to do this book justice. The author is a very caring and helpful person that is always there to help out a author on pimping their books or doing release parties as a blogger. Well the tables are turned, this is her first book and it was amazing. You can truly get into the feelings and emotions of the characters. I love how she gave Rye and Jett such a three dimensional dynamic. You could feel the reluctance that Rye had in a relationship with Jett but knew that her daughter Em was going to need lots of support. The emotions just poured from the pages I was unable to put this book down. Ok truth be told I was so affected by this story and so connected to all the characters that I cried like a big big baby. I so was rooting for love to conquer all but this was what happens in life. There are times that we find that one true soul mate and we must cherish the time that we have and like the title says make it TODAY ONLY. I absolutely loved this quote from the book that Jett said to Rye.

“What I want from you is simple. I want today only. If it’s laughter, I want it. If it’s pain, I want it. Whatever today holds, as long as the day holds you, I want it. I want today only.”

Isn’t that truly beautiful. Yes, I’m crying again. You are such a wonderful and truly gifted author. You were able to touch on so many different emotions out of the reader that we could truly connect. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a fantastic emotional storyline. You get so immersed into their lives you just know that the author has dug deep within themselves to harness the true feelings of someone going through a horrific and life alterring fork in the road. I really hope to read more books from this amazing author. Thank you for allowing us into Jett, Rye, and Emily journey through coping and overcoming adversity. Remember life is a gift that we are given it is up to us to make the memories last.

LOVING LIBERTY BY BELINDA BORING COVER REVEAL

Loving Liberty
“What would she risk for freedom?”
Belinda Boring New Adult Contemporary Romance

Snippet:

“Ready?” he asked, aware I was checking him out and enjoying it the attention. His hand beckoned me to approach, and I let out a soft sigh. He stepped away from the table, waiting for me to stand in front of him, my back to his front. “I’m going to have you break, okay?” He moved in closer, and I prayed my legs wouldn’t give. I could feel every inch of him pressed against me.

“Okay,” I stammered. Oliver chuckled low in my ear and I tried not to shiver. Bending me forward with his body, he showed me how to position the pool stick, his arm alongside mine. We fit perfectly.

“Still with me, Liberty?” he asked. I didn’t want to move. We were so connected, the position so intimate, I was sure I was ready to combust on the spot. Andrew had tried holding me this close and it had made my skin crawl. It was the complete opposite with Oliver. This made me feel wanton. Reckless.

“Uh huh.” It was the only way I could respond.

“It’s just you need to keep breathing, sweetheart.” His use of that endearment made my insides melt. “Be brave.”

Blasphemy Box Book Tour



The Blasphemy Box

“You know that nightmare you’ve always had? The one where you wake up one day to find yourself fat, frumpy, fifty and alone? I’m living it.”

Maddy Nelson has an idyllic existence: a handsome husband, great kids, a comfortable, affluent lifestyle. One morning soon after she turns fifty, however, she wakes up in her San Francisco home to find her husband Steven announcing that he’s leaving her for a woman half her age. And a third of her size.

Ouch!

Feeling totally unmoored and grieving for her married life and husband, Maddy finds herself thrust into an unfamiliar and uncomfortable world of middle-aged singledom. There, she must come to terms with her situation and embark on her new life: divorce proceedings, single parenting, internet dating, and trying to earn a living. It’s enough to drive her over the brink. To help her cope, she shares her struggles in a smart, wry blog named The Blasphemy Box, after her ex-husband’s obnoxious habit of having her drop a quarter into a wooden box every time she said something off color. Her madcap middle-aged adventures find her devoted readers who identify with her challenges.

In time, Maddy recreates herself and finds happiness in the arms of a good man, and a fulfilling new career as a novelist.

MY THOUGHTS

I received a copy of this book in exchange for a honest and unbiased review. What would you do if the person you vowed to love, honor, and cherish till death do you part suddenly tells you that your marriage is dead? Sure you look different than when you first met but you also gave birth to HIS children. Then to find out he is boinking a 20 something bimbo homewrecker. I loved how this book shows the journey from total devistation to the ability to find self worth and happiness. This kind of situation happens all to often but gives the hope to people that we define ourselves and not let another define what they want. Steven the husband was a jerk and doesn’t deserve Maddy. I highly recommend this for a very enjoyable and relaxing reading day.

TEASER:

Teaser:

He straightens himself up and tilts his head to the side and leans forward. My heart is pounding so hard and I know I’m going to meet him half way. Right before our lips touch he whispers, “I love you, my Charlie.” I catch the “my” but don’t get a chance to respond because his lips are already on mine. He starts ever so gently and places one of his hands on the back of my neck. He kneads my neck with his hand and it feels so amazing. We start out slow, tasting and playfully teasing each others lips. However, the teasing stops abruptly and we start to increase the pressure. I pull him forward and place my hands around his neck. I let my fingers glide through his hair at the nape of his neck. I love his hair. I hear a slight groan escape his lips and it just makes me want him more. How is it that a kiss can say so much? Saying I love you is huge but to kiss someone who has told you that, a kiss speaks the truth and I know. I know in his kisses that he has meant every single word.

Untangling the Knot review

Untangling The KnotUntangling The Knot

“I did what?”

Twenty-eight year old Gabriella Bessu is St. Therese’s meticulous wedding ceremony coordinator. So the fact that she has mistakenly signed her newest couple up for an annulment, rather than a wedding, sends her Catholic guilt into overdrive.

But who can blame her? The groom is gorgeous and his two kids tug at Gabriella’s heart in a way that overcomes all her best intentions. Before long she’s in over her head, fixing her mixed-up plans and helping the children and dad come to terms with their haunting grief for the mother and wife they lost years earlier.

Can Gabriella untangle her own fears and accept the messy life that God has handed them?

My review of Untangling The Knot.  It made me think about the movie The Wedding Planner with Jennifer Lopez. I really liked this story.  What happens when you become someone who is supposed to be all about love but never really had that right moment?   Then Bam it hits you like a ton of bricks but the bad thing is he is the groom to be.  The author told a very well written story that entertained me as a reader.

I would highly recommend this if you enjoy the idea of love and destiny.  I was given a copy in exchange for a honest and unbiased opinion
