Worth the Chance by Vi Keeland Release Promo, Review & Giveaways!

HAPPY RELEASE DAY 
VI KEELAND! 

Worth the Chance by Vi Keeland 

Synopsis: 
**New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author, Vi Keeland, brings you the steamy story of Vince & Liv**

Meet Liv MichaelsIt may have been seven years, but I'd know him anywhere. Sure, he's grown, filled out in all the right places, but his captivating blue eyes and cocky grin are exactly the way I remember. Even though I'd much rather forget.

Liv Michaels is almost there. She's smart, determined and weeks away from landing the job she's dreamed about for years. Time healed old wounds, even her broken heart from the devastation of being crushed by her first love.

Meet Vince Stone
Women love a fighter, especially a good one. Lucky for me, I'm damn good. But there's one woman that isn't interested. Not again, anyway.

Vince 'The Invincible' Stone is every woman's fantasy...strong, sexy, confident and completely in control. Growing up surrounded by chaos, he's learned never to get too attached. Love will drag you down. He adores women, treats them well, puts their own needs before his own...for the night anyway. With the biggest fight of his life coming up, his focus should be on training.

When fate brings Vince & Liv back together again, there's no denying the chemistry is still there. But can Vince erase the old scars their past left behind? Or will Liv hurt him instead?

***Author's note*** THIS IS A STAND-ALONE NOVEL. Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the 18.

Review by Amy
***** stars!

Worth The Chance

Wow, well I loved Nico but I freaking love Vince. 

I really enjoyed Vince and Olivia story. It was nice to have past chapters to see what there like together.  
Their connect is instant which is clear from the get go. It funny to see Liv fight her feelings for Vinny, even though Vinny puts his right out there in your face for everyone to see. You can see how reluctant Liv is to pursue a new relationship with him. As her career has shown that he enjoys women, she struggles to move past that. 
Olivia is handed the dream-job-story at her job but at what expense. She doesn't want to hurt Vinny but tries to find a way around it so that he doesn't get hurt. 
But in true story fashion the hater-girl always speaks up and takes Olivia's chance of explaining to Vinny. He is hurt beyond his world but hurts Olivia with his words. They both struggle to overcome the heartbreak but it's Olivia who is brave enough to take the first step. She put Vinny who is her heart and soul first. She sacrifices her career for him.
Elle Nico's wife helps Olivia with then plan to help Vinny and his mum.
It was so heart warming to see what Liv had planed and I so happy they got their HEA!

Facade by Ashley Suzanne Review


FACADE REVIEW

Queen of the mind fucks strikes again! If you read the first 2.5 books in the Destined Series, you know exactly what I mean when I refer to Ashley Suzanne. Where Mirage had you cursing and throwing shit at the wall while reading, Facade made you just shake your head to remove whatever cobwebs must have settled for you to miss the quick left the plot took at about 60% in.....

Mirage, Inception and Awakening introduced us to Kylee and Jacoby but this is all them in this book. There are a few sprinkles of our favorite BFFs Mira, Sklyar and Danny, but for the most part this book focuses on Kylee overcoming the demons of her past and allowing love into her life and Jacoby into her heart. For these reasons Facade can be read as a stand alone and is not going to end in a cliff hanger leaving you wanting more. This was a great read, I absolutely loved every page and just like the first books, you do not want to put this down and come back to it later- you want to keep reading to see what happens next. 

Ashley definitely has a way to tell a story like no one else and although I have grown quite attached to the characters in this series, anything she writes in the future will be on my Kindle release day- she can write no wrong. Well.....you know what I mean. Five stars, two kisses and a slap on the ass for Ashley. Loved it! <3 Kellie

MJ Fields:
MJ Fields had no clue what she was getting into when she began the journey of writing. She say's, "I still don't--but I like it!"
Her imagination became apparent at age three. Sigma was her very first (imaginary) boyfriend. He lived about fifteen miles from her family's farm. She took him chicken noodle soup every night on one of their snowmobiles.(Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring). Apparently he was very ill and "Thank God" she was able to take care of him.
At eight her love for writing blossomed. Together with her cousins (of course she was the president) they wrote a newsletter and sold it to their family members.
Years later she decided to put it back into print to entertain her cousin as she was on an aircraft carrier on 9/11, very far away from home during a scary time for our country.
Fast forward to 2012. She read 50 Shades and thought, 'I wanna do that!' (meaning writing).
She has two complete series, The Love Series and Wrapped. There are also two new series Burning Souls and Men of Steel that are as of now not complete. Thirteen books in sixteen months. CrAzY and wonderful.
She loves love!
Her Mom raised her right. She says please and thank you and means it. She expects the same out of her child. 'It's the right thing to do.'
Her mother taught her to take care of herself and others. 'I don't like leaving the house without mascara even if I'm in an oversized hoody and warm up pants.'
Her Dad taught her how to work hard and never expect to be handed anything. She likes to work and doesn't mind getting dirty.
Both taught her to be respectful and the importance of doing the right thing regardless of what people around her do. They taught her about the importance of family and that it didn't always just include blood relatives. They also tried to teach her how to keep my thoughts to myself...she is still working on that.
MJ tends to enjoy watching people grow and change with self realization and moments of clarity that just sneak up behind you and smack you in the head.
She loves people and has always been able to see both sides of a story. 'Each person that comes into our life leaves us with something it is what we choose to do with it that helps us grow.'
She lives in central New York in the middle of nowhere and is surrounded by family and friend most the time. She ran a small business out of her home and has recently closed her door to pursue this dream full time. She spends time writing and doing the typical Mommy things. Her house is full of pets, friends, and noise ninety percent of the time, and she would have it no other way.

Black heart (cards) Synopsis Black heart (cards)

Grace Rivers is your everyday twenty-five year old. She could have the world at her feet, but instead chooses to help run the family business. After experiencing great loss early in her life, Grace values what's most important: her family and friends. But she aches to find that certain someone—that one great, passionate love who values family as much as she does.

Cole Tierney loves his life. He has a wonderful family, a loyal best friend and a successful career as an ER doctor. The only downside is he wants someone to share it with. After being used and left heartbroken, he wants to find someone who will love him for him and not his or his family's status.

"Every beat my heart makes is for you. Every time it beats faster it's because of you—because you're near me, because of your smile—because you take my breath away."

Their two hearts collide by chance and an undeniable connection is quickly made. But when others are plotting against their happiness, will their love flatline, or will the rhythm of their hearts continue to beat as one?

Excerpt

The barista call our names and when we get our Vanilla Cappuccinos, I hear somebody saying.

“Wow, I can’t believe my eyes, Juliette, the hottest singer out there.”

I turn around confused, to find Alan smiling at me.

“Alan, what a surprise.”, I get closer to kiss his cheek. Oh my, he smells so good. Oops, the little rascal moves his head and almost kissed me on the lips. I try to move away, but he stops me, whispering in my ear.

“Beautiful, this time was on the corner of you mouth, but next time you won’t scape.”

OMG!!! I blushed turning fifty shades of red.

“Alan…”, I started.

“No, don’t say anything. You must know I’m crazy for you, you’ll come around, I’m a patient guy.”

“Alan…”, I try again.

“Shhhhhh.”, He puts a finger on my lips. “Now, I want to let you know that our duet was a huge success. Fever has thousands of views on YouTube.”

“Oh.”

“I talked to Rafe today and he told me that some agent will come to the After Dark to watch our show on Friday, seems like somebody told him about the show and he’s coming to meet us. Cool, right?”

“Wow, that’s wonderful!”, I got so happy, that I hug him. He hugs me tight and I fell protected in his arms. OK, he’s not as strong as Danny, but yet muscular. I try to get away, but he holds me tight.

“I love your spontaneity.”, he says. “And your perfume and your taste…”, then he kisses and licks my neck.

Oh, sweet Jesus, this man wants to drive me crazy. Did you see that? I shiver and jump away from him.

“Yeah, well, these are some awesome news, but we got to go, right George?”, I look at George and he’s holding our cups with his mouth open. “It was so good to see you Alan. Send me an email with the songs you want to play on Friday. Bye.”

He smiles, winks and shakes his head.

“Ok, Beautiful, I’ll send you the email…And Julie? Friday you’ll be mine.”

I smile back a little shy, grab my coffee and leave with my two friends behind me.

I reach the fourth level where the parking lot is, running like I was trying to escape a plague. George stops, laughing at me. Great, just what I need.

“Little girl, I’m not sure what just happened there. But if I was a real girl, what unfortunately I’m not, I would wet my panties.”

“George!!!!!”, I yell in shock.

“Baby, he licked your neck. Jo, did you see that, a real lick?”

“I sure did.”, She smiles.

“If I were you, baby, I would lick all of him, inch by inch. And I’m pretty sure he has a place with lots of inches.”, He says raising his brow.

“Georgeeee…”

“What? I’m just telling you the truth. Jo? How are your panties?”

“Burning hot.”, She says and they laugh.

I run to the car and they follow me, still laughing.

I need to get home fast and take a cold shower.
