Blog Tour: Erotic Fiction? By Hannah Lynn*

'There’s nothing sexy about her humdrum life as a mum. But is her husband’s

crazy scheme a bit too exciting?

Sarah’s mind-numbing housewife existence is turning her brain to mush. With her

third bun in the oven, this British mum is drowning under a mountain of playdates,

bills, and head lice checks. But her man’s get-rich-quick idea of writing steamy

novels isn’t her ideal way to dial up life’s passion.

Drew desperately wants a break from Sarah’s whinging. And if that means

researching how to write racy books all by himself, then he’ll make the sacrifice. But

as he finally warms Sarah up to the sultry side hustle, their R-rated private project

gets publicly exposed…

With an office scandal brewing, it’s only a matter of time before gawking workers

and a perfectly nosy PTA president turn them into social pariahs.

Can Sarah and Drew earn some extra income from sizzling lit without falling prey to

stiff gossip?'

What can I say about this story? Seriously I enjoyed this book from the first word, on the first page. The story of Sarah and Drew is filled with laugh out loud and even relatable moments. Moments that will have you remembering when you have done the exact same thing. 

I found this book was well written and very hard to put down. It is so easy to get stuck in Sarah and Drew's world. From learning about their family, work life and children, there are so many moments that keeps you the reader turning the page and reading more. You will soon find that you fly through the 33 chapters of this book. Not only that, but the basis of them writing a steamy book is brilliant. Through the researching, the writing and the benefits it is a thoroughly entertaining book to read. 

Let's tell you a little bit more about the Author Hannah Lynn, who is an award winning novelist. She published her first book 'Amendments' in 2015 and has gone on to write multi award winning book called 'The Afterlife of Walter Augustus', 'Fiona and the Whale' as well as the 'Peas and Carrots' series.  Hannah freely moves between different genres but her novels are recognizable from their character driven stories and vivid description. Her current work in progress include a YA Vampire series and a re-imagining of a classic Greek Myth (sounds like something I need to keep my eyes open for). Hannah was born in 1984 and grew up in the Cotswolds. After graduating from university, she spent twelve years as a physics teacher first in the UK and then around Asia and Europe. During this time she was inspired by the imagination of the young people she tough to begin writing a short story for children and then later adult fiction. Now a teacher, writer, wife and mother she is currently living in the Jordan. 

Overall i thoroughly enjoyed this book, though I have to say I wish it ended in a different place. Would have loved an epilogue showing a few months down the line from where it actually ended. Apart from that there was nothing I didn't enjoy about this book. Get your copy HERE and let me know what you think. There is also a Giveaway attached to this blog tour, for you to be in with the chance to win two $25 Amazon gift cards. If you are interested you can enter the giveaway HERE.

It really keeps your attention and keeps you turning the pages until you finish the book. Even finishing the book gives you a bittersweet feeling, happy to know that you have read the ending but at the same time sad to know that the book is over.

Blog Tour: When Adam Met Evie by Giulia Skye*

'When former Olympic Swimmer, Michael Adams—now Canada’s hottest reality TV star— insults his fake showbiz wife on social media, he escapes the ensuing scandal and jumps on the first flight to Australia. Desperate to experience ordinary life again—if only for a few weeks—he becomes “Adam”, just another tourist traveling through the Outback. But with a reward out for his safe return and his fame’s nasty habit of catching up with him when he least expects, he needs a better disguise… and he’s just found it.

Sweet and scruffy British backpacker, Evie Blake, is taking a year out of her busy London life. Tired of lies and liars, she’s looking for adventure to heal her broken heart. So when the hot Canadian she meets at the campground offers to be her travel partner through Western Australia’s wild Kimberley region, she grabs the chance, unaware he’s got the world out looking for him.

He’s just a down-on-his-luck traveler, right?'

This is the debut novel from Giulia Skye and if it is anything to go by, she has a good career ahead of her. This book is full of romance and travel, two things that really work well together. It is set in the beautiful Australia and reading this will have you feeling wanderlust to go backpacking just like Evie.

Giulia's description of Australia and the sights that set the background for this romance are so in depth that you almost feel like you are there with them. Seeing these amazing places but at the same time it leaves you lusting to go and see these views yourself. The story itself is well written and leaves you wanting more with each page turn. 

Let's tell you a little bit about the Author Giulia, she is Italian born and spent her childhood watching classic Hollywood films and thinking up her own romantic stories. After working in TV production for two decades, she knew that turning those stories into novels would be much more enjoyable and far cheaper than turning them into films. Although she still keeps her hand in TV production she is at her happiest being a stay-at-home mum, spending time with her family, growing her own vegetables and conjuring up sizzling stories about sexy heroes meeting fiesty heroines who aren't always as they first appear. When Adam Met Evie is her first novel, Book 1 of her 'Take a Holiday' Series. 

Overall I adored this book, and found myself tearing through the chapters to find out what was going to happen. The idea that this is actually the first book in a series, makes this reviewer very happy indeed. I will definitely be keeping my eyes out for the next book from Giulia Skye. To grab this book follow this link, you won't regret it.

Blog Tour: Dreaming Of Verona By T.A.Williams*

'Verona is the City of Love. But will Suzie find romance there or, like Romeo and Juliet, will it all end in tears?

When Suzie is hired to accompany spoiled, abrasive Lady Alexandra Tedburn on an all-expenses paid holiday to Italy, she fears the trip will be a disaster.

But she soon discovers there’s more to Alex than shopping and tantrums, and she’s determined to help her realise her potential – against Alex’s authoritarian father’s wishes.

As they settle in Verona, Suzie can’t stop thinking about local artist Michael, who is still mourning the tragic death of his wife. With Suzie’s future uncertain, and Michael’s past

holding him back, it seems there’s no hope for romance in the city of

star-crossed lovers… or is there?'

This book is very well written and the descriptions of place such as the Ritz or Verona are detailed enough for you to believe you have been there. By the time you have read a few chapters you can tell that Alexandra’s Dad is very over protective. So this factor makes things interesting and gives you background to why Susie is needed.
Let me tell you a little bit about the Author T.A.Williams. He studied languages while at University, then he lived and worked in France and Switzerland before going to Italy for seven years as an English Teacher. He and his Italian wife then moved back to the UK with their young daughter (at the time), while in the UK he ran a big English Language school for many years. They now live in a village in Devonshire, he has been writing almost all his life. However it was seven years ago that he finally found a publisher who liked his work  enough to offer him a contract. He still finds it hard to explain that he now writes romantic comedy compared to his early work which were thrillers and historical novels. He thinks it because he tries to cheer his readers up when so many horrible things are happening in the world. He loves his job, his books provide escapism to some gorgeous locations and as the writer he obviously has to go there first and check them out. 
Overall I enjoyed this book. However I did have trouble getting into this book. This comes at no fault of the author, just that I found it hard to get stuck in. Grab your copy of this book HERE.

Blog Tour: Getting Dirty By Rachael Stewart*

'Sometimes digging up the dirt

Means getting deliciously dirty…

I always work for the good guys. My job was simple: get the dirt on Coco Lauren, a princess of a socialite who talks—and plays—dirty. But I kissed her. I tasted her. Uncovered the tantalising woman beneath the polished façade. And she undid me in every way. Now I'm the bad guy. But how do I tell Coco the truth…when coming clean means losing her?'

Coco and Ash simply scream sexual tension and delicious sexual encounters. This books is HOT and had me thinking maybe I shouldn't read it in public. There is some seriously hot chemistry between the main characters that should really be scorching the pages as you read. This book easily gripped my attention and had me not wanting to put it down.

A refreshing fact that you will notice when reading this book is that it starts with Ash's point of view and continuously goes back to him. I love that Rachael did this in her book, as you really get into his head and more importantly his feelings. There is also a clear divide when you switch from Ash's point of view to Coco's. This means you do not get confused with whose head you are in. 

So let me tell you about the Author Rachael Stewart, she adores conjuring up stories for both Mills & Boon and Deep Desires Press. The books vary from heart-warmingly romantic to wildly erotic. Rachael is living her own dream of being a full time writer, even though her degree was in Business Studies and she spent many years in the corporate world. Originally from Wales, Rachael now lives in Yorkshire with her husband and three children. When she isn't wrapped up in her children, you can find her glued to her laptop or enjoying the great outdoors seeking inspiration. 

I love Rachael's books and this is no exception, it was well written and has the reader gripped from the word go. The only thing that I would love is please Rachael write Jackson's, Graces and Philips story. Personally I would love to see how there stories pan out. Coco and Ash are definitely worth a read and a must for anyone who reads! Grab your copy of this awesome book HERE.
