cover reveal - Aimee and the Heartthrob (and a bonus)

Before you can see the pretties, I wanted to say how excited I am about this project, my first YA novel. Its planning and creation has been a joy, and it just MIGHT be my favorite of all my books so far...no! of course I didn't mean that... *strokes my other books*

Backstage Pass Books series:

Five guys thought winning a making-of-the-band reality TV show would be the pinnacle of their career…until their band scored a sell-out stadium tour and became the hottest group in the country. Trying to keep their personal lives out of the tabloids while they maneuver media near-disasters and dodge rabid fans leaves little time for romance—not that their manager would allow it anyway.

But maybe, if their luck holds out, a summer on the road might lead each guy to that one girl he’s been waiting his whole life to sing for…if fame doesn’t get in the way.

Join The Heartthrob, The Bad Boy, The Big Brother, The Shy Boy, and The Cute One as they hit the road in search of their one true love. Could it be you?

Aimee and the Heartthrob (Backstage Pass #1) - releasing 4/14/15

 

He never noticed her before, but now she's all he can see…

Miles Carlisle is every teen girl’s fantasy. His rugged good looks and exotic British accent have helped catapult his boy band, Seconds to Juliet, to super-stardom. But after two disastrous and very public breakups, Miles isn’t interested in dating just any girl; he wants The One. And the only girl he’s interested in is not only his best friend’s little sister―and off-limits―but won’t even give him the time of day…

As a kid, Aimee Bingham had a huge thing for Miles...until he made fun of her for always tagging along. Now that she's outgrown both him and her pigtails. the prospect of spending two weeks on tour with the childhood crush who broke her heart isn't exactly enticing. Except now Miles seems interested. Very interested. And no matter how hard Aimee tries to resist him, her crush is definitely making a comeback.

But everyone knows that falling for a heartthrob is a backstage pass to heartbreak...  

**This Entangled Teen Crush book contains references to drug use, drinking, some sexual content, and lots and lots of kissing. Its swoonworthy hero may ruin all others for you.

**Bonus**

Mia and the Bad Boy (Backstage Pass #2), by Lisa Burstein - releasing 5/19/15

 

This good girl’s about to meet her match… 

Ryder Brooks is living the dream—he’s famous, loved by millions of girls, and miserable. All he really wants is to write his own music, not Seconds to Juliet’s sugary sweet pop. In order to do that, though, the “bad boy” of the band will have to play by the rules. And that includes behaving with his new—and super cute—über-good-girl tutor.

Mia Reyes is in fangirl heaven. Tutoring her favorite member of her favorite band? It’s a dream come true…until it turns into a complete nightmare. Ryder is nothing like she thought. He’s crude, arrogant, and pretty much a total jerk. And the worst part? She’s roped into pretending to be his girlfriend so that no one finds out he’s being tutored. Fake kisses, plenty of PDA, and even sharing his hotel room… 

But sometimes even the baddest of bad boys needs a little redemption.

Things happened today. . .

Yes, oh yes! It's the best time of the year for the BEST OF 2014! People, this was a huge decision for me. Too many amazing books this year! Sensory, bookerly overload! So what I did was picked one of my favorite authorly friends, and picked one of my favorite books of her's from 2014. One lucky entry will snag a digital copy of this little pretty. So, without further ado. 

Drum roll, please....

Dakota Halifax loves to be in love. In fact, as one of Las Vegas’s premier wedding planners, she’s built a whole career around romance. Which is why her own wedding has to be nothing short of perfect. And then her fiancé jilts her. While she’s waiting in her wedding dress. On a cruise ship already out at sea.

Once back on dry land, Dakota tries to pour her heart into her business and weekly wedding advice column, Get Ready to Wed. But how can the heartbroken celebrate others’ true love? When she reconnects with her childhood best friend, surprisingly sexy and all-grown-up casino bouncer Brendan West, Dakota wonders if maybe she can fall back in love with being in love.

But then her ex reappears, begging for another chance, and suddenly Dakota questions if she’ll ever understand love. Can someone once-burned and twice-shy ever find her way down the aisle again?

Who doesn't love a great wedding book, right?

RELEASE DAY! ~Someday Maybe~

Today's the day! I'm sending my brand new baby, SOMEDAY MAYBE, out into the world. ~throws confetti~ I'm so proud and excited for this book. Just take a look at this pretty:

Teaser:

It was overwhelming. Without him doing a thing, I’d never felt so taken care of. It was then that I realized it wasn’t just a freshman fling. Oliver loved me, like real love, like when no one is looking and when you have nothing to gain but you give and you love and you sacrifice and cherish. That’s what he was offering me as he held me against his beating heart.

teaser Tuesday - Someday Maybe

In case you haven't heard me squeeing about it, my newest book--SOMEDAY MAYBE--releases into the world on October 20th!  To celebrate, how about a little teaser?

So, this happened today...

Right after work, I was sitting in the dentist chair, getting my bi-annual cleaning while chatting with the new hygienist--ya know, around her chisel and sucker hose. My purse was way over in the corner but I started to hear a steady stream of pings. Hmm, something's going on. In the ninety seconds between the cleaning and the dentist doing his thing, I went for my phone.
"Sorry," I told the hygienist. "I might be getting some good news, so can I just..."

Last week, my novel FALLING FOR HER SOLDIER went on sale and was featured in a fairly prominent ebook newsletter blast. (Not to mention heavy social media promotion from my publisher and so many others.) Sales last week were amazing, and the book ended up ranking pretty high on both Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Woot!  It did so well, in fact, that it became an Amazon Best-seller. Double-woot!  The next thing people started talking about was hitting the USA Today Best-Selling list. Gulp. What's that?  See, what happens is USA Today takes the sales from both Amazon and B&N and produces a top 150 list every week. That list, however, doesn't post until Wednesday. So, needless to say, I did everything I could to NOT check their website every two minutes. (And thank you to good friends who said they would check for me so I wouldn't have to.) The day went on, no updates, and it was dentist time. Now we're all caught up.

So yeah, I reached for my cell and was greated with messages like...

OPHELIA WHERE ARE YOU????? <3

I know, right? It’s not a party without her! Hello!?!?

 DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I TOLD YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She didn’t answer my phone call. Guess she’s TOO BIG NOW ;)

Then, of course, the congratulatory Pacey picture from Entagled's social media specialist (who knows I love Pacey)

 

 And....another Pacey picture...

I must say, it was a pretty unique experience to get news like that while at the dentist office. The girls there were so excited for me, though. They all cheered and squeed with me, even the dude dentist wrote down the title so he could get it for his wife.

Thank you to everyone who made today--as well as last week--such an amazing experience! If you'd like to see the pretty page on USA Today, clicky-click HERE.

Mean Girl Apologies - book spotlight

Hey guys. Check out Stephanie Monahan's new adult novel, THE MEAN GIRL APOLOGIES. Sounds awesome! And isn't the cover just gorgeous?

Sometimes the song on the radio really is about you.

 You know that catchy song you keep hearing on the radio? It’s about you.

Natalie Jamison has spent five years trying to forget the girl she was in high school: popular, pretty…and, okay, mean. Now in her twenties and living once again in her small town, she’s right back where she was: following Queen Bee Amber and keeping secrets from her best friend, Sarah.

Secrets like Jack Moreland.

Everyone knows Jack Moreland—his new album, Good Enough, is everywhere. He’s famous. Impossibly handsome. Completely untouchable. But what none of Natalie’s old clique knows is that in high school, Natalie and Jack fell in love. And their secret relationship was incredible, painful—and earth-shattering enough to inspire an entire album.

Facing friends and enemies isn’t easy, but Natalie will go to great lengths to prove she is good enough—to her friends, to herself, and most of all, to the small-town boy turned worldwide heartthrob she never forgot.

LOVE this! Check out the buy links:
