Coming This Winter.... OCULUS by J.L.MAC and L.G.PACE III

USA Today Bestselling author, J.L. Mac and L.G. Pace III have teamed up to coauthor Oculus, a brand new series.

 The first book, Oculus, is scheduled to release December 29, 2015. This three-book series is a dystopian romance that chronicles the lives of Sicarius and Iris and all the steam, love, tragedy, suspense, loss and inconceivable circumstance that has been packed into this series. Mark your calendar. On December 29^th, you’ll have to take a "Sic day".

Blurb:

Most people only believe in what they can see. Born without the most basic gift of sight, I rely on my other senses to guide me. Yet, what I believe in most is a phantom that resides in my dreams.

Under the blanket of twilight, I smell him. I feel him. I hear him. I taste him. But above all else, I see him.

And I want him.

I have no evidence that he’s real. But if he isn’t, why do I wake with the taste of him on my lips? I long for someone who doesn’t exist and even if he does, he’s forbidden, dangerous.

He’s from a different world, a frightening place beyond the walls that protect me. The Dark Lands, a broken world beyond the reach of the corporate control is what’s outside the gate. A lawless hellhole full of death, and chaos where savagery thrives under the cloak of darkness.

The irony is that my phantom, the one I want so badly, seems driven to destroy everything I’ve ever known.

SYNOPSIS

People break promises. It happens every day.

Jack Shephard is tall, muscular, covered in tattoos, and rides in an Outlaw Motorcycle Club. Most people wouldn’t believe a word he said based on his appearance alone.

But they don’t know Jack like I know Jack, and Jack made me a promise.

There’s one small problem. Jack’s been arrested on a murder charge he didn’t commit, and he’s facing life in prison.

But he promised me he’d always come home.

And Jack doesn’t break promises.

EX-CON is a stand-alone, no cheating, no sex outside the relationship, HEA story of love, loss, second chances, and living life outside of the boundaries most citizens live in. It is Book V in the Selected Sinners series of MC Erotic Romance novels, and is able to be enjoyed fully as a stand-alone. To experience the series in full, Making the Cut, Taking the Heat, Otis, HUNG, and EX-CON may, however, all be read (in that order).

A Personal Note from Scott About Himself and His Personal Journey with this Book

I began riding with my first MC after 20 years of riding alone. Although I didn’t know it at the time, immediately following my introduction to the club, I became the target of an ATF investigation.

The investigation ended when a helicopter, over 30 ATF agents, US Marshalls, and countless other SWAT Team members converged on me one day.

I was indicted on more than two dozen criminal counts, and given the option to plead guilty to one and receive a light sentence (probation). If I fought them, they explained, I would face life in prison.

Well, I’ve never been one to give up easy, so I chose to fight.

And I fought all the way to the US Supreme Court.

The fact I lost my case didn’t really matter to me. Fighting was more important. Standing up when most citizens would sit down had always been my nature.

My time in prison wasn’t easy, but I made it the best I was able. The days drug on forever, at least initially. In time, my mind made sense of it all, and digested it as being a new way of life; my only choice, so to speak.

In EX-CON, Jack’s thoughts, feelings, decisions, and actions were mine. What he felt, thought, and went through in the book is accurate down to the smallest of details.

My experiences in life cause my books to have more ‘feel’ than a conventionally written novel. EX-CON is no exception. It’s gritty, real, and raw as are most of my novels. But one thing it has that no other Scott Hildreth novel shares.

300 pages of compassion.

Enjoy knowing a little more about me. And enjoy EX-CON, which is a reflection of part of my life.

SUGAR BABY BEAUTIFUL BY JJ MCAVOY..... GIVEAWAY!!!!!!

Sugar Baby Beautiful by J.J. McAvoy 

Publication Date: 21 August 2015 

Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance

Amazon • B&N

When twenty-four-year-old Felicity Harper is dragged to a sugar party, an event where wealthy men and women seek “companionship,” she never expects this one simple decision to drastically change her whole life. Her past is nothing but broken dreams and heartache. Her present is detached and dull. And her future? Well, before meeting Theodore Darcy, the famed film director, writer, producer and CEO of Darcy Entertainment, she would have expected more of the same. Love is just a fantasy and she wants no part of it—even if she can’t deny the undeniable attraction between the two of them. So their arrangement is simple: sex with no strings attracted. But as their intimacy becomes more powerful, so do Felicity’s demons. Can Theo really shoulder her past and his own? And could Felicity even let him?

Dawn's Review

Let me start off saying that, I just finished this and my mind is still reeling from the emotional roller coaster ride Ms. McAvoy just took me on.  Here I am reading this really sexy, interesting take on an old topic, Sugar Daddy's or I guess the Sugar Babies that they get involved with . If you are not a fan of this kind of "subject matter" STOP...This is an amazing story. It actually has very little to do with "Sugar Daddy/Sugar Baby"  relationship. If that is your hang up, move past it and explore this very smart story.

There is really no good way to write this review without giving it all away.  Honestly, there are so many plot twists, that had me floored! It's not confusing in anyway ... it is just shocking and you are never expecting it. I MEAN... LIKE EVER!  After I read the book I sent Ms. McAvoy messages and told her how brilliant I think this story is. It is a very important story. I wish I could tell you why, but it's something that happens everyday to someone.

This is a departure of sorts for this author. This is a very SEXY book! It is down right HOT. I love that Ms. McAvoy is doing something different.
She always gives us these strong leading ladies and even stronger leading men. Never are her heroines weak in the sense that they are frail. Felicity is just fantastic. She has this confidence that you know is a lot of bravado, but she makes you believe she is fearless.  I absolutely loved her and everything that she stands for. You will understand once you read this.

Theo Darcy is amazingly swoon worthy. He sees her, he wants her, he will have her. It is that simple. He is not taking no for an answer, after all she is at a Sugar Baby party. Little does he know the reason she is there... against her will, of sorts. Theo is not exactly who he seems to be, he has a past and is a bit of a tortured soul. He has success but at what cost? He lost his love to another man and his family is just not quite what it seems. 

The twists and turns in this story are really heart wrenching. You think you have it figured out and wait... sharp left turn on the straight-away! Only to be followed by an immediate right, but it's done so effortlessly. Never at any point did I have an issue with getting lost. It flows and it is beautifully written. Once you know the "secret" you go back and think of all the things you should have picked up on but you didn't.  This story seems very personal to this author and I think that is why it came off as so authentic for me. It seems like she has lived this and for me that made me connect with the characters on a deeper level!  (Fellow Book Nerds, will understand that.)  

I love it and I hope you give it a chance and love it as well!!!!

A Note from Scott about Big Jack:

Big Jack is different. He doesn't cheat. He's not a man whore. he has no real issues, and he's devoted to one woman and one woman only - whoever that shall be. He's a no nonsense kind of man with his own set of rules. Agree with him or not, he doesn't care.

Oppose him, and you'll get the wrath of Jack.

But if you're his woman, you're in for a treat, because Jack only does things one way.

HARD.

She came back around to his front and watched him as he loaded up the rest of his gear. Thigh holsters, shoulder holster, ankle holster; pretty much anywhere he could hang a gun, there was a holster. When he glanced at her, she had her eyebrows raised in surprise. “What?” he looked himself over, looking to see if he'd missed anything. “That's a lot of gear,” she commented. “Can never be too careful. I don't feel like dying tonight.” “Why are you getting ready here, anyway? Don't you have a home?” she pointed out. He snorted. “Sweetheart, the job starts here and ends here. I don't want anyone following me back to my place – not even these fuckers. I don't let anyone see where I sleep,” Marc stressed. She pouted her lips. “Pity.” “Why?” She stepped up close to him, standing on her tiptoes so her mouth was near his ear. “Because I'd love to see where you sleep.”

 

Crazy woman living in an undisclosed location in Alaska (where the need for a creative mind is a necessity!), I have been writing since ..., forever? Yeah, that sounds about right. I have been told that I remind people of Lucille Ball - I also see shades of Jennifer Saunders, and Denis Leary. So basically, I laugh a lot, I'm clumsy a lot, and I say the F-word A LOT.

I like dogs more than I like most people, and I don't trust anyone who doesn't drink. No, I do not live in an igloo, and no, the sun does not set for six months out of the year, there's your Alaska lesson for the day. I have mermaid hair - both a curse and a blessing - and most of the time I talk so fast, even I can't understand me.

Yeah. I think that about sums me up.

When twenty-four-year-old Felicity Harper is dragged to a sugar party, an event where wealthy men and women seek "companionship," she never expects this one simple decision to drastically change her whole life. 

Her past is nothing but broken dreams and heartache. Her present is detached and dull. And her future? Well, before meeting Theodore Darcy, the famed film director, writer, producer and CEO of Darcy Entertainment, she would have expected more of the same. Love is just a fantasy and she wants no part of it--even if she can't deny the magnetic attraction between the two of them. 

So their arrangement is simple: sex with no strings attached. 

But as their intimacy becomes more powerful, so do Felicity's demons. Can Theo really shoulder her past and his own? And could Felicity even let him?

I received this as an ARC for my honest review.

Be Kind, Be Honest and Help One Another... By Dawn

Yesterday I attended an Author Event, which I love doing and we are blessed here in Texas with many. I have met some the greatest author's and fellow book lovers at these events. But yesterday, something was said to me that really shook me to the core. 

I was waiting in line to pick up books for someone and noticed an author, whom I had not met sitting there at her booth, knowing I had her books but had not had the chance to read them yet.  I went up and introduced myself, she was perfectly nice. I then handed her my card and told her I was a blogger and if she ever needed any help promoting her work to just feel free to reach out. 
This is when her whole demeanor changed. She became very quiet and kept looking down and became short with her answers. I was a bit taken aback, so I asked "is there something wrong?" She looked at me and said point blank " I do not mess with you bloggers, we live and die by you guys!"  I was stunned. I looked at her and told her that we were not all bad, that we all should not be lumped into the same category as those that set out to shame, disrespect, insult and effect their sales. I told her that there have been 2 times in the last two years that I sent a book back saying that I could not give this at least a 3 star review. I explained my reasoning to the author as a way to help, not with the intention of embarrassing or shaming their hard work. She perked up at this. I told her that, I am not in a minority, there are far more blogs that want to help authors out there. I told her to look to the "little guys" We have nothing to prove, I have nothing to gain by bashing books. Attacking an author is a completely different matter. I will defend authors with all I have. It's not about trying to get on their "good side" it's about being a good human being.  No one deserves to be ran through the ringer, because they simply put a piece  of themselves out there and someone didn't like it. Not all books are 5 stars... it's a fact. But to bash someone personally is unacceptable.
I also told her there are some authors that have went after bloggers for promoting their books and not having "permission" to do so. It is free publicity... it is that simple. I will respect an authors wishes, but come to me one on one, no audience needed!  You respect me and I will give you the same back in spades.  I am not a blogger who shares ARC's or gives them away. I have never went against an author, publisher or publicist wishes. WE live and die by OUR WORD! I take that very seriously. 

I will never reveal this author's name because, she honestly was afraid. I find that so sad, someone did said or did something to her and it hurt her deep. I hate that because she and I had the best conversation about our love of Kristen Ashley and I left her smiling and laughing.

Be kind to one another, be honest and help others out and do not expect something in return.
Sincerely,
Dawn
