Book Blitz + Giveaway: Alterations by Stephanie Scott

Alterations
Author: Stephanie Scott
Genre: YA Contemporary Romance
Release Date: December 6, 2016
Publisher: Bloomsbury Spark

Summary from Goodreads:

If anyone saw the prom boards Amelia Blanco makes on her favorite fashion app, they'd think Ethan Laurenti was her boyfriend. They wouldn't know that all the plans she's made for them are just dreams, and that she's the girl who watches him from the kitchen while her parents cook for his famous family.

When Amelia's abuelita enrolls her in a month-long fashion internship in NYC, Amelia can't imagine leaving Miami--and Ethan--for that long. As soon as she gets to New York, however, she finds a bigger world and new possibilities. She meets people her own age who can actually carry on a conversation about stitching and design. Her pin boards become less about prom with Ethan and more about creating her own style. By the time she returns to Miami, Amelia feels like she can accomplish anything, and surprises herself by agreeing to help Ethan's awkward, Steve-Jobs-wannabe brother, Liam, create his own fashion app.

As Liam and Amelia get closer, Ethan realizes that this newly confident, stylish girl may be the one for him after all...even though he has a reality TV star girlfriend he conveniently keeps forgetting about. The "new and improved" Amelia soon finds herself in between two brothers, a whole lot of drama, and choice she never dreamed she'd have to make.

Book Blitz + Giveaway: Pixelated by L.S. Murphy

Pixelated

Author: L.S. Murphy 

Genre: YA Contemporary
Release Date: June 30, 2015

Publisher: Bloomsbury Spark

Summary from Goodreads:

Senior Year. 

Middle of nowhere. 

What's the new girl to do?

For Piper Marks, the answer is simple. She’s determined to have her photography rock the cover of National Geographic someday, and moving to Clarkton, Iowa for her last year of high school is not going to stop her. Even if her usual subjects have changed from bright lights and skyscrapers to fields, cows…and more fields. 

But when photographer at the local paper quits in a huff, she steps into his spot. Her new job keeps Piper busy capturing tackles, and zooming in on first downs and end zone dances, not to mention putting her directly in the path of varsity football star Les Williams IV. Her new friends warn her off, but she can’t resist the pull she feels toward this mysterious country boy. But this small town is keeping a secret, and it’s one that could destroy any chance they have to be together. 

It’s up to Piper to decide what to do with the distorted truth. Can she risk exposing her heart? It might be worth it, 'cause Les is about to change her world from black and white to fully saturated color.

“Good morning, sleeping beauty!” A familiar voice cut across the street, and I winced. Carson sauntered over to me, holding a brown paper bag in one hand and a Styrofoam cup in the other. 

I blinked at him, confused. “What are you doing here?” 

“You mentioned where you were staying last night.” 

I frowned, trying to remember. “I did?” 

He slapped his hand to his chest as if I’d wounded him. “That’s the kind of welcome I get? A few dances and the lady doesn’t even remember me!” 

I giggled, but pain shot through my head, and I winced. 

Carson handed me the cup and the bag. “I thought you might need some hangover first-aid. You do like coffee, right?” 

I nodded, taking the cup. “Actually, I like tea better, but coffee’s okay.” 

Carson laughed. “Here I was trying to please your American sensibilities.” He shook his head ruefully. “If you want tea, we’ll find tea for you. That’s one thing we never run short of in London.” 

I chuckled, taking a cautious sip. It was warm, but not too hot, and I took another swallow of the coffee. “What’s in the bag?” 

“Hangover cure. I told you.” 

I peeked inside. “A croissant?” 

“Not just any croissant. It’s a chocolate croissant; you’ll love it.” 

I took a tentative bite of the flaky pastry, and then I grinned up at Carson. “Oh my God. This is so good.” 

He laughed. “I thought you’d like it. At least I was right about half the breakfast.” 

“The coffee’s good, too.” I took another sip to prove my point. 

“That’s good.” He draped an arm over my shoulder and pulled me close. We started to walk, and I hurried to finish the food. Taking the aspirin out of my bag, I popped a pill in my mouth and washed it down with coffee. Carson grinned at me. “Feeling better?” 

I nodded, surprised that my head had calmed down. “Yeah. I thought it was a migraine.” 

“Just a hangover. We drank a lot last night.” 

I flushed, remembering the feeling of his hands running all over me on the dance floor. “It was fun.” 

“It was more than fun.” His eyes sparkled, and his fingers began tracing lazy circles on my shoulder. 

I shivered in delight. “So,” I said, trying to keep the quiver out of my voice, “what did you want to do today?” 

His eyes danced wickedly. “Well”—he lowered his face to mine—“there are a few things I’ve had in mind,” he whispered, close enough that I could feel the vibration of his words against my skin. Hangover forgotten, I shut my eyes and parted my lips. After a moment, I felt him exhale against my mouth, and then his lips were pressed to mine. 

The kiss was sweet and deep, and my body felt electric. God, so this is what I’d been missing all those years? I pressed my lips to his hungrily, but then he pulled back gently and smiled.  

A Michigander by birth, Jen McConnel now makes her home in the beautiful state of North Carolina.

Cover Reveal: 21 Stolen Kisses by Lauren Blakely

 

I am seriously swooning over the cover for Lauren Blakely's 21 STOLEN KISSES!! 21 STOLEN KISSES is a New Adult Forbidden Romance being published by Bloomsbury Spark and will be available May 5^th!

ABOUT 21 STOLEN KISSES:  

When I first met him I resisted. 
Like any forbidden love, I told myself he was a crush, and it would pass. 
That was a lie. It never faded. 

And I never expected he would fall for me just as hard. 

There were so many reasons that should have kept us apart, least of all, the decade that separated us. 

Growing up in New York City, I learned early on that love is a double-edged sword. 

Love broke up my parents, love took away my friends, and love -- the big, intense, never-been-like-this-beforelove -- landed me in therapy. 

Now I'm heading to college, and it's time to give love a clean slate again. 

But, can I really start over when he's still in my life? 

Because the one man I've always wanted, is also the only guy I absolutely can't have… 

And he wants me just as fiercely. 

Can I settle for anything less than the love of my life?

Lauren Blakely writes sexy contemporary romance novels with heat, heart, and humor, and her books have appeared multiple times on the New York Times, USA Today, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and iBooks bestseller lists. Like the heroine in her novel, FAR TOO TEMPTING, she thinks life should be filled with family, laughter, and the kind of love that love songs promise. Lauren lives in California with her husband, children, and dogs. She loves hearing from readers! Her bestselling series include Caught Up in Love, Seductive Nights, and Fighting Fire. She recently released Nights With Him, a standalone novel in her New York Times Bestselling Seductive Nights series that became an instant New York Times Bestseller.

Cover Reveal: One Wish Away by Kelley Lynn

One Wish Away

Author: Kelley Lynn

Release Date: November 11, 2014

Publisher: Bloomsbury Spark

Book Summary:

Be careful what you wish for…

Lyra has always been ahead of the curve. Top of her class in school, a budding astronomer, and with a best friend like Darren she barely has time to miss the mother who abandoned her family years ago. She's too busy planning to follow in her father's footsteps, and to become the youngest astronomer at Space Exploration and Discovery.

When a star goes missing Lyra is determined to get to the bottom of it only to discover her braniac dad is the mastermind of a top-secret government experiment. They promise to build a perfect world, one galaxy at a time, but with every tweak of the present, a bit more of the future starts to crumble.

Lyra has to go undercover to reveal the truth and let humanity decide if the consequences are worth more than wishing on a star.

Eventually the day came when the voices in Kelley Lynn’s head were more insistent then her engineering professor’s. So instead of turning to her Thermodynamics book, Kelley brought up a blank page on her computer screen and wrote. Somewhere along the way she became a Young Adult author.

Kelley was born and raised a Midwestern girl. She’s not afraid to sweat and fills her free time with softball, soccer and volleyball. (Though you probably don’t want her on your volleyball team.) She occasionally makes guest appearances as a female vocalist for area bands. Music plays a large role in her writing process as well as the characters and plot lines within her stories.

You can find Kelley hanging out at her blog, titled in her name, as well as the group blog she shares with her fellow critique partners, Falling for Fiction. Kelley is a member of the Society of Children’s Books Writers and Illustrators.
