LIES & LULLABIES by @AuthorLane - #CoverReveal + #Giveaway

LIES & LULLABIES by Courtney Lane
Genre: Dark Romance
— SYNOPSIS —
On the weekends, she’s Sugar, a woman free of the pretty prison constructed by her domineering father, who combs the dangerous streets in search of something she never quite finds. During the week, she’s Simone, the good girl and the illegitimate daughter of the most powerful and hated man in Los Angeles.
Catch—aptly named for his “career” choice—is a man shrouded in mystery with one dangerous purpose. After a whirlwind encounter, Catch draws Simone into his dark and tangled web.

A dangerous game ensues, lives are lost, truths are exposed, and one man may shatter the foundation of a powerful organization on the brink of extinction.

The game of truth or dare won't end until Catch and Simone strip each other of their façades and uncover the reality of who they were, and who they are fated to become.

She also has an affinity for characters that aren't necessarily the girl or boy next door, or the people you'd encounter in everyday life. In other words, she prefers to explore characters who aren't easy to fall in love with. 

Currently, Courtney can be found either working on her next book, playing the latest role-playing game on her X-Box (preferably a game by Bioware), or spending time with her family.

— PURCHASE —
— REVIEW: 5 STARS —
Book 1, LIES, MUST be read prior to CHAOS. This review is completely SPOILER-FREE. Seeing as this is the 2nd installment in a 3-part series, I will keep it short as there’s really not much I can say without spoiling the anticipation.

This was home. I was finally whole. “I love you,” I said as I looked into her eyes. “You are my world, Gabby, my safe place.”

Chaos picks up where LIES ended. After that heart-shattering ending, I craved to read this book. I needed more of Josh and Gabby. I was anxious to know what would happen next! My heart ACHED for Josh. I could not even begin to imagine how frustrating he must have felt being a part from Gabby, knowing what he knew!  The danger level was at an all-time high, so he had to protect his family. But could he risk losing Gabby by doing so?

The suspense in this series only got better with this book (and I loved this aspect in book 1)! There were some very angst-driven scenes that had me at the edge of my seat. With some twists and turns thrown into the mix, CHAOS was a true page-turner; a CA Harms masterpiece!!

“Gabby was my peace. She was everything I needed and all I wanted.”



REVENGE by CA Harms, Bestselling Author
Phoenix Undercover Series, #3 - Final Book!

Knowing that the devil is lurking in the darkness, Josh is left with no way to secure their safety. His fear is taking over.

Soon Leo would finally get the chance to make them pay for ruining his life.

His revenge was coming, and there was no one who could stop it.

The devil is near and Gabby is his target….

And he will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

The count down has begun.

There’s nowhere to hide.

They will all pay.

— REVIEW: 5 STARS —
An EPIC ending to a PHENOMENAL series! Revenge by CA Harms is without an ounce of a doubt, a MUST READ! All three books HAVE to be read in order since they follow the angst-driven, page-turning, suspenseful journey that’s Josh and Gabby’s romance.

“You’re my world, Gabby,” he whispered against my lips, parting my legs with his knee. “My life.”

While reading CHAOS, book 2, I thought the danger level was at an all-time high, but boy was I WRONG. Leo was simply unstoppable! He was always one step ahead of Josh and the FBI. He was always there and that creeped ME out. He was on a mission to make Josh suffer, and boy did he succeed! So much happened in this book; there were happy, sexy, nerve-wracking, and emotional scenes that kept me glued to my e-reader! 

Revenge was UH-MA-ZING. Everything about this book was incredible. The characters, the page-turning plot, the writing style…I loved it ALL. Being the greedy reader that I am, I’m hoping CA Harms writes a spin-off for Gabby’s sisters! That would be fantabulous! :) FIVE STARS!!!



— ABOUT THE AUTHOR —

— ABOUT THE AUTHOR: SORAYA NAOMI —
I was born in South America in 1984 and raised in Europe where I presently reside with my fiancé.

I read many genres but favor intense, dark, seductive, and provocative novels where the male character loves fiercely, without remorse or boundaries. I also adore forbidden love tales and have an odd fascination with kidnapping romances. No, I don’t secretly want to be kidnapped, though!

I have a passionate obsession with the written word and indulge in chocolate pastries much too often.

My debut novel For Fallon (Chicago Syndicate, #1) was released on July 26, 2014. I’m honored that For Fallon won “Best Breakout Novel 2014” in the Novel Grounds Semi Annual Literary Awards.

— REVIEW: 5 STARS —
I still remember the day HJ Bellus first messaged me, asking me to review her upcoming debut novel, CREE. It seems ages ago and now, almost 20 books later, HJ Bellus brings us a sexy page-turner in DIRTY. Now, when I say sexy, I really mean HOT. The sex scenes in DIRTY will cause HJ Bellus to receive letters from her fans 9 months from now, introducing her to their new babies! Hot. Hot. HOT.

Zane Rivers was SO much more than just a stripper. He was a sweet alpha (something I don’t read often) that did what he HAD to do for those he loved. He went to the ends of the earth, and then some, for those that mattered. He protected them and stopped at nothing to be there for them. Seeing him take care of his grandfather made my heart smile.

Ava’s character was another plus for me. She was so down-to-earth that I had no trouble understanding her and connecting with her. Her smartass and sarcastic remarks made me giggle a lot while reading too. Her and Zane’s chemistry was one of those that sizzled right off the pages of the book.

With funny, angst-driven, hot, and emotional scenes, DIRTY was a well-rounded book that kept me intrigued from beginning to end. Overall a fantastic story with great characters and a book I recommend!  Five stars! 





Book TWO in the series....
(Series name TBA)

FILTHY by HJ Bellus
Rhett & Darby's Book!

Dear reader: 
Congratulations on purchasing the Awkward Sex Anthology! A bunch of amazing authors in a group called FTN (We could tell you what this means, but then we'd have to kill you) got together to write the most awkward sex scenes you could imagine, all for charity. You might be thinking to yourself, "I can't believe I just bought a book called F*cking Awkward" and I'm here to tell you, it's much better than the titles that were rejected: 

F*cking Toasters 
F*cking Goats 
F*cking a Box of Captain Crunch 
F*cking a T-Rex While Playing the Trumpet 
F*cking My Best Friend's Neighbor's Stepsister's Starbucks Manager While Wearing a Toga 
F*cking a Toga 

I'm just kidding! Nobody wrote a story about f*cking a goat! It was a wombat, actually, and no one pressed charges, so it's fine. The author is fine, the wombat is fine, EVERYONE IS FINE AND I DIDN'T NEED THERAPY SO STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT. 
Did you know that six out of every seven people in the entire world have experienced an awkward sexual encounter? It's true. I've done extensive research. And by extensive, I mean I did a poll of all the adults in my house - 2 dogs, 3 cats, and my husband and I. I'm pretty sure my dog Fat Ralph was lying when he told me he'd never experienced anything awkward during sex, but he had his nuts cut off when he was six weeks old and is still quite bitter about the whole thing and threatens me with a dog bone shank whenever we chat about sex, so I think it's 4 best if I stop questioning him about the time I found him in the backyard with a jar of peanut butter, two frogs and the neighbor's cat wearing pasties. 

The cat was the one wearing pasties, FYI, not Fat Ralph. That would just be weird. 

So, grab some booze, sit back, and enjoy these hilariously awkward sex scenes. Give yourself a pat on the back for purchasing a book for charity and another one for never experiencing something as crazy as what you're about to read. Unless you have. In that case, it's okay to cry and rock back and forth in the corner screaming, "IT WAS ONLY THAT ONE TIME AND I HAD NO IDEA I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO PUT THAT CUCUMBER THERE!" Six out of seven of us totally understand. Except for Fat Ralph. He's totally judging you right now.
