By Siobhan Davis
Genre: Science Fiction Romance
Age category: Young Adult
Release Date: December 15, 2015

Blurb:
I’ve fallen hard for an alien, but he’s harboring secrets.
Massive secrets that threaten the very essence of humanity.
How can I give him my heart when his race plans on taking my future?

Sadie Owens has been slowly dying inside. Bit by bit, piece by piece, day by day. Trapped in a life she hates, she relies on only one person—herself.

Despised by her family and betrayed by an unscrupulous government, Sadie dreams of a different life. When she is chosen to participate in the government’s new social experiment, she is ecstatic at the prospect of spending six months in Thalassic City, the shiny new city under the sea.

Immediately drawn to Logan Chandler, Sadie is captivated by the beautiful boy with the ocean-blue eyes. Logan seems to embody everything that has been forbidden, but he isn’t all he appears to be.

Confused over Logan’s true intentions and concerned when best friend Jenna starts transforming in front of her eyes, Sadie partners with newcomer Jarod in a bid to uncover the government’s real agenda. The truth is more shocking than anything she could ever have imagined.

When Sadie finally understands why the Saven walk among us, will it be too late to save her heart and the human race?

A Shot of Bourbon by AC Land Release Day Spotlight

Today, I have the pleasure of hosting a blog tour stop for BookFish Books' latest young adult contemporary novel, A Shot of Bourbon by A.C. Land! Stay tuned at the end of the post for an amazing iPad giveaway!

About A Shot of Bourbon

Title: A Shot of Bourbon (Bourbon Series, Book 1)

Author: A.C. Land

Genre: Young Adult

Released: March 29, 2016

Publisher: BookFish Books

In the little highway town of Bourbon, Missouri, deadly secrets lurk behind Southern charm. 

Seventeen year old Charli Valentine didn’t expect to spend the last few weeks of summer break nursing a broken heart, icing a black eye, and watching her ex kiss another girl. Since being a good girl has gotten her nothing but heartache, Charli decides to give rebellion a try. She pigs out, drinks, and hangs with Luke Parker, the son of the infamous Bourbon Butcher. 

But there’s more to Luke than meets the eye. His tough exterior and terrible dialect hide a good person despite his bad boy reputation. No matter how hard he tries to fight it, Luke is drawn to Charli’s innocence and finds her clumsiness too charming to resist. Though they’re from opposite sides of the tracks, neither can resist the magnetism drawing them together. 

When Charli discovers a box in her mother’s closet, she pieces together the truth about Bourbon’s past and uncovers a deadly secret about her family. And once Luke learns of it, he vows to protect Charli no matter the cost.

Without Benefits Cover Reveal -- Nicole Tone

A little less than three months from now, Without Benefits will be showing up on doorsteps and in e-readers! But today we get a first look at the amazing cover, designed by Ashley at Cardboard Monet! Ashley even did a special photo shoot just for this cover.

About Without Benefits

Emma will always be a New Yorker at heart, even though she has a perfect life in Seattle. She has a prestigious job fundraising for the Seattle Symphony, a handsome boyfriend who adores her, and a Belltown apartment with views of the Sound. It should be more than enough to keep her pain from not playing the piano, and her 9/11 nightmares, away. But when her old college crush, Owen, comes back into her life, it’s more than just spending time with him that’s causing cracks in her picture-perfect life.

As she steps back on stage, and back into the spotlight, her connection with Owen and his world, dredges up old memories that Emma worked hard to forget. Emma’s past comes back to haunt her, forcing her to face the truth about more than just her fears of returning back to New York. As her once perfect life begins to burn down, Emma is forced to figure out what she really wants: her fundraiser and cocktail party-filled life with her boyfriend, or forging a new future with the one thing, and one person, she’s ever loved–even if it means returning to New York.

Without Benefits is a beautiful and moving exploration of modern relationships and family written in the vein of Taylor Jenkins Reid and Renee Carlino.

So here it is... The moment we've been waiting for...

Isn't it gorgeous?

She Laughs In Pink Cover Reveal Jess Calla

Today is the cover reveal for She Laughs in Pink by Jessica Calla!

Title: She Laughs in Pink (Sheridan Hall Series, Book 1)

Author: Jessica Calla

Genre: New Adult

Release date: May 17, 2016

Publisher: BookFish Books

Blurb:

Four years after her twin is murdered, Juliet Anderson still struggles with guilt, her parents, and her relationships. Two things keep her from falling into a deep, dark place—dancing and her best friend, Ben. So when Ben decides to play football for New Jersey University, Juliet doesn’t hesitate. She follows. Finally away from her past, there is nothing to stand in the way. Juliet will win Ben's heart.

Then she meets Ben's roommate, Chase.

On probation and hell-bent on adhering to a “new life plan,” aspiring artist Chase leaves his New York City home for New Jersey University and meets Juliet before even stepping foot on campus. For him, their connection is instant. She’s the most vibrant girl he's ever seen. Her colors explode on his canvas, and he's never been more inspired in his life.

Too bad she’s madly in love with his seemingly perfect, good guy roommate.

Excerpt:

He murmurs between kisses, “Juliet, you know I can’t resist you. I don’t want to be the bad guy.” 

I nibble his jawline down to his neck as the train pulls away, leaving us in the empty station. Already a new crowd is forming for the next train. “I needed to kiss you. Thought this would be a good place,” I mumble as I work my way down his neck. 

He turns me around. My back hits the cold wall and I shiver. He holds my face as he studies me, his gaze falling on my lips as I catch my breath. “Should we be together, gorgeous?” he asks. “Could it be that simple?"

Finding Thor by Kai Strand with Giveaway

Have you found your Thor? Kai Strand wants to help with that. Be sure to check out the giveaway below.

International intrigue hits small-town America.

Tragedy has left Cara Cassidy broken and the only thing keeping her from giving in completely is her guilt. Until Nik Rock.

Nik stirs up feelings in degrees she has never experienced, and causes her to do things that most assuredly give him the wrong impression – like kiss him before their first date. Somehow, he breaks down the walls around her emotions until she has no choice but to forgive herself and feel again.

But a mysterious, troubled past follows Nik, and Cara may prove to be his weakest link.

When a royal princess shows up looking for Nik, and an international gang arrives looking for missing jewels, Cara lands in mortal danger. Will she be able to save herself? What will happen to her newly repaired psyche if she loses Nik?

Romance, mystery, and high stakes – just another day in high school.

Excerpt:

He nodded a polite, though cautious, greeting before walking toward the second break in the shrubs overlooking the beginning of the rapids.

Her heart pounding as fast as the sparrows flitting though the leafless shrubs, Cara faced the river again, not completely comfortable turning her back to him. She was pretty sure he was close to her age, so why did she feel so threatened?

Power. Strength. Assurance.

Even as enthralled with superheroes as she and Arac had always been, she’d never realized those words could be felt. Yet they poured off of him in waves. She glanced over her shoulder. He’d been shrouded by the hood, and she’d barely seen anything beyond his blazing gaze. He stood with his back to her, so she studied him.

His posture was impeccable, with his back straight, feet shoulder-width apart, hands still buried in his jacket pockets. He looked entirely alert and ready. Even though it seemed he watched the water tumble and trip down the rapids, she felt his fierce gaze was directed inward. Focused on memories or thoughts she would never see, though suddenly she wanted to. Mystery teased her curiosity. She sensed this stranger had a compelling story to tell. Or maybe she just hoped for a distraction from her own horror story.

As if he’d heard her reflection, and wanted to hear more, his head shifted slightly, angling toward her. Another shiver shuddered through her body. She had to remind herself that superpowers weren’t real, and still she wondered—hero or villain?

Rhews on Tour--Birth of an American Gigolo

Hello, friends! If you're part of the Rhewination, you got the newsletter telling you that Deek and I are going to be on tour several times in the upcoming months--for Birth, The Fulfillment Series, and 122 Rules. You can "Join the Rhewination" for inside information and special prizes. You can also follow along on our blog tours for other prizes and detail about us and our books that we hope you'll enjoy!

Join the Rhewination! 

Become a Rhewvian in the Rhewvolution. 

So, first up is Deek's book Birth of an American Gigolo! He's on tour for it from February 29-March 7. We've lined up kick butt bloggers (thank you to all who've participated) with the amazing, Jess Calla.

You can follow him to the different blog sites to read about the birth of Birth and enter the rafflecopter drawing for awesome prizes! But...since you're so sweet to be here reading my blog, I'll post the drawing here too!

We have a semi-official release date for Deek's 122 Rules, so we can't promote it just yet. BUT I can tell you 122 Rules has a cover! We're hoping to reveal it to our Rhewvian before the rest of the world, so yet another reason to join the Rhewination! ;) 

122 Rules, coming soon!

There are also ARCs if you're a blogger or thriller author and want to give it a read. Just contact us for more info! 

An aside: I am SO incredibly proud of Deek. He's been working his behind off getting ready for two blog tours at once while holding down a full time job. In the midst of it all, he always, always makes time just for me. He sets everything aside and comes into the "bubble" with me--where the whole world fades, and it's just the two of us. I love this man in a way that defies the constructs of this world, this universe even. He's the hardest work person I know, and he's got the biggest heart and brightest soul. I'm honored to even know him, and blessed beyond measure to be his wife! 

And in April, The Fulfillment Series will be BookFish Book's featured work, so I'll be on blog tour too. It's my birthday month, so we're planning to have a big hub-bub my tour. Stay tuned! 

Me and Deek at a book signing this summer

So, what else is new in Rhewville? Well, last Wednesday, I texted Deek and said I felt like going to Portland that weekend. He texted back and said, "Let's do it." I love how my man is up for all adventures. So, we went. And I didn't want to do anything special or expensive, just walk around the city we both love and will miss when we move. 

First, we went to the Sellwood celebration. The original Sellwood Bridge was constructed in 1925, and it was one of the first bridges for cars in the city. However, over time, it's gotten older and more unsafe, so they decided to build a new bridge. We walked along the new one and said goodbye to the old one.

Views from the new bridge

Random aside: The Sellwood Bridge opened ahead of schedule yesterday...but not without some hiccups. See how a truck mistook the pedestrian/bike sidewalk for the road here! 

Then, we took a walk in the John's Landing area. It's one of my most favorite areas in Portland. There are lush green walkways, chairs made from unusual materials, driftwood arts, and a walkway down to the river. Deek tried to show me how to skip rocks down by the river, and though I succeeded three times, there were many more flops than successes. But no matter...I got to spend time with the love of my life in our city. 

 Our smack down faces. LOL!

Sneaking a kiss. 

Dude, I love this man and my purple hair!!

Usually, our antics end up with us laughing like crazy! LOL! 

I hope you'll Join the Rhewination and follow along with our blog tour. Thanks for your constant support! It means more to us than we can ever express!

Until next time! Life, laugh, and learn...always! <3
