Blog Tour: Ten Things Sloane Hates About Tru (Creative Hearts #1) by Tera Lynn Childs @teralynnchilds @YABoundToursPR #YABOUNDBOOKTOURS #Giveaway





Ten Things Sloane Hates About Tru (Creative Hearts #1)
Release Date: 09/14/15
Entangled Crush
245 pages

Summary from Goodreads:
When life gives you a blank canvas, make art.

Sloane Whitaker hates everything about moving to Texas. She hates leaving behind her friends and half her family in New York, starting over senior year at Austin's NextGen Academy, and having to say she lives in Texas. Most of all, she hates that it's all her fault. If she wants to earn her way back to the Big Apple, she has to prove she can still be the perfect daughter.

Which means no vandalism art, no trouble at school, and absolutely no Tru Dorsey, her serial screw-up neighbor, who loves nothing more than pushing her buttons.

But from the moment he vaults onto the roof outside her bedroom, there is something about him that makes her want to break every rule. Suddenly it' s not the ten things she hates about Tru that are at the top of her list. It's the ten reasons she doesn't want to be without him.

Playing the Player
Release Date: 08/18/15
Entangled Teen: Crush

Summary from Goodreads:

Trina Clemons needed the money. Why else would she-the most organized, prepared student in school-spend the summer as a nanny and partner with the biggest slacker ever? Now she's ready to tackle nannyhood with her big binder of research and schedules. Just don't ask her about the secret job of "fixing" the bad habits of a certain high school player…

Slade Edmunds prefers easy hook-ups, and Trina is definitely not his type. She's all structure and rules, while Slade wants to just have fun. Fortunately, Trina has no idea about the bet Slade made with his best friend that he can totally get her to unwind by the end of summer…

Then the weirdest thing happens. There's chemistry. A lot of it.
But nothing gets between a boy and a girl like a big, fat secret…

About the Author
Lisa Brown Roberts still hasn't recovered from the teenage trauma of nearly tweezing off both eyebrows and having to pencil them in for an entire school year. This and other angst-filled memories inspire her to write YA books about navigating life's painful and funny dramas, and falling in love along the way.

Her almost forever home is Colorado, though she occasionally pines for the days when she lived within walking distance of the Pacific Ocean. Her house is full of books, boys, several four-legged prima donnas, and lots of laughter.

Virtual Tour: PICTURE ME, A MYSTERY by Amy Schisler @AmySchislerAuth @GoddessFish #Giveaway





PICTURE ME, A MYSTERY
by Amy Schisler

GENRE:  mystery



 BLURB:

Melissa Grant has escaped the clutches of death, not once, not twice, but three times. While she considers this to be divine intervention, her assailant is sure that her luck will run out, and the authorities are suspicious that Melissa isn’t as innocent as she seems. Implicated in the murders of two of her closest friends, and running from both a hit man and the law, Melissa does what is thought to be impossible in the 21st Century – she disappears. Julie Lawson has no family, no friends, and no past. She spends her days photographing the country and her nights tossing and turning as nightmares plague her sleep. While passing through the town of St. Brendan, on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, Julie finds some things she hasn’t had in a very long time – a home, friends, and love. For the first time in two years, Julie can see her future, but she can attain it only by surviving a predator from her past. Eric West has a past of his own that he is trying to forget. His return to his hometown keeps his demons away until he meets Julie, and she stirs up emotions in him that he hasn’t felt in a long time. As he slowly begins to let go of this past, Eric tries to break down the walls that Julie has so tightly built around herself. Gaining her trust one small act at a time, and hiring the best investigator in DC to dig for answers, Eric opens the Pandora’s Box to Julie’s past which threatens all of their futures.

EXCERPT:

With her heart beating wildly, under the cover of the loud music, she tiptoed toward the bedroom window where the fire escape was.  Praying that the man would not turn toward the bedroom, she quietly raised the window while holding her breath and praying it wouldn’t make a sound.  Not daring to look back, she dropped herself onto the landing, sucking in frigid air and almost choking as her feet hit the icy metal. 

Melissa flew down the fire escape slipping and sliding on the smooth, glassy coating.  Her bare foot slipped out from under her on the last step sending her reeling back onto the stairs and hitting her head.  Looking up, she saw the masked man lean out of the window above her. 


Melissa had no time to even check her head for blood as she wrenched herself from the sidewalk and ran for her life.

Meet the Characters in Hot-Blooded Lust

 
Kaitlyn Rivers

FBI Agent, Kaitlyn Rivers loves her job with the Violent Crimes and Major Thefts Task Force. For years she's worked with Joel and flirted her way into his heart. They are currently involved in a secret relationship, though most of the office knows or will soon find out. Kaitlyn has a record for crashing bureau cars, is a workaholic, and knows how to keep a secret. Other nicknames: Kai.

Kaitlyn Rivers

Joel Connor

Mildly impatient, Joel is the supervisory agent with the Violent Crimes and Major Thefts task force. Recently divorced, he has three daughters that know how to keep him busy. For years he's been interested in Kaitlyn but had intended to keep it professional because he's her boss. He's got a fascination with erotic spanking and disciplining Kaitlyn to keep her in line.

Joel Connor  

Franklin Noble

FBI Agent Franklin Noble works for the Paranormal, Occult, and Ritualistic Crimes Division. Known for being a stud, Franklin likes his job but also likes the taste of women, sampling a new lady every night. Suave, sophisticated, and successful, Franklin has it all. It's no wonder the girls all flock to him. Plus he could be an underwear model, if his FBI career didn't get in the way.

  Franklin Noble 
  
Emily Carter

FBI Agent Emily Carter works for the Paranormal, Occult, and Ritualistic Crimes Division. With fourteen sisters and no brothers, Emily was brought up Catholic. Known for her looks, men flock to her wanting to buy her drinks, take her home, but never meet their parents. She struggles with dating and finding the perfect boyfriend that cares for her. Emily gets along well with her FBI partner, Franklin, though she knows he's a stud and is careful not to mix business and pleasure.

Excerpt

"Anytime you want to climb on that pole again, Kai, I'm game." Joel grinned. Wiping that smile off his face seemed near impossible. He'd been teasing me about it since the moment I climbed on top of the bar and danced.

"You're never going to let me live it down, are you?" I actually didn't mind, not that I'd tell Joel. My cheeks burned remembering that night. Although I was just doing my job, I knew how turned on it made him. If it weren't for the fact we were in a bar on duty, I'd have given him a lap dance. Joel's tongue would have probably hung out of his mouth. Being an FBI Agent was tough work, most of the time. The few moments where I could have some fun and let loose, why shouldn't I?

Joel's lips trailed a soft path of kisses across my jaw. I curled beneath the sheets of his mattress. "Joel, we can't." Though I wanted to, I wasn't quite comfortable with it. The reason had nothing to do with him being my boss. We were over that. "Your kids are in the next room and the walls are thin."

"They're asleep."

I laughed. "Yeah, for now. You're loud. There is no way it won't wake them up. The neighbors at my place give me slack when I run into them getting the mail."

Joel whined and reached for my hip, pulling me against him. "Then why did you insist on sneaking over? You're such a tease."

"I am not!" I playfully shoved his chest. I tried my best to keep my voice down to a minimum. It's not that I didn't like his kids, I just thought it was too early for us to be doing weekends together. Which is why I opted to sneak over after they were in bed. I didn't think ahead to the fact that we'd have to keep our voices down and that Joel was a loud moaner during sex. Not that I was particularly quiet, but he had the tendency to make sure everyone could hear us.

"Want to play a game?" he asked. His thumb stroked my hip, inching my shirt as the pads of his fingers grazed bare skin.

"Like Monopoly?" I wasn't in the mood for board games.

Joel leaned his head forward, chuckling softly. He reached for me, brushing his lips against mine. I dragged my fingers into his dark, thick hair. "I had something more adult in mind."

"Oh?" My hands paused their ministrations, trying to image what Joel would have thought up. He struck me more as a strip poker kind of guy, but we were already half-naked. Where was the fun in that? Joel climbed out of bed and headed for his closet. I whimpered in protest. "Where are you going? I'm right here."

"I know a game that will be fun for both of us." He brought one of his work ties out from the closet.

"If you're planning on tying me to the bed, you know we have handcuffs for that."

"No need. Unless of course you're naughty. Close your eyes," he said, and I did so, feeling the tie cover my eyes as he secured it at the back of my head. I was blindfolded. This was new for us.

My heart skipped a beat. I trusted Joel, but it still made me nervous. "What do you plan on doing?" I asked.

"Kai, you complained that I'm loud when we have sex. I'm going to make sure that you're the one making all the noises. Better keep your voice down, I'm not sure I locked the bedroom door."

Six Questions with the Author

What are you currently working on?

 I just finished writing the first book in the series Dystopian Reign. The first book is titled, The Victorian Shift. I started the second book late this afternoon and it's titled The Western Movement. It's an interesting blend of historical mixed with dystopian (and of course romance) that follows a twenty-five year old young woman that escapes prison when the facility is under attack.

Tell us a little about your release, Hot-Blooded Lust.

Hot-Blooded Lust is the third installment in the Federal Agent Chronicles. Just like the first book in the series, Hot-Blooded Lust follows the life of Agent Kaitlyn Rivers as they investigate the murder of a fortune-teller, who happens to also be someone Joel knows.

Any more Federal Agent Chronicle stories in the works?

Yes, Fire Licked is scheduled for release in November from Blushing Books. That novel is about a sexy fireman and follows FBI Agent Leslie Hunter.

How do you write so fast?


Good question! I'm very prolific and also task-focused. This is my full-time job, so I treat it as such, spending at least eight hours a day in front of the computer writing (or at least attempting to). I concentrate heavily on meeting a word count daily when I write.

You always have fun swag. What's your favorite piece that you've made?

I love making mini book charms as necklaces and also book boxes that feature my book cover. The book boxes are great for storing goodies when I have a book event. The necklaces (and also bracelets) tend to be a huge hit at events. Everyone always loves them and they're all handmade. I'm always sharing pictures of the goodies on Facebook.

Do you plan on writing any more YA books under your other name, Ruth Silver?

Yes. I recently finished the prequel to Aberrant. It is titled, Cabal. I'm waiting to find out the release date for that young adult novella. I also am (still) working on the sequel to Elfinland (Orenda Book 2). It's half-written at 21k words. I just need to sit down and finish that novel as well.

Excerpt

"Hey sexy." I hear Kaitlyn's voice and my eyes widen glancing up, as the dancers are once again on the bar.

"Kai?" I can't stop myself from calling her by name. I've always seen the dark-haired agent in a pants suit, one rare occasion a skirt. This is something else entirely.

Kevin removes his drink from the bar. "You know the dancer?"

Kaitlyn is up there wearing nothing more than a red g-string bikini. Her brunette locks cascade down her back and her makeup looks like a hooker must have put it on her. She's got thick turquoise eyeliner and lime green glittery eye shadow.

"Long story. We used to work together." It's not a lie but in the way Kevin's mind is ticking, he must think I had been an exotic dancer. Not the case! Though, what harm could come from him believing it to be true? It is safer for everyone, than Kevin knowing I'm working undercover.

Kevin laughs and his cheeks redden. I'm guessing it's the beer. He's looking over Kaitlyn a little too intimately and long for my pleasure.

"Quite a story, I bet," Kevin says. "Maybe you can share it on our second date?"
