BLURB:

Drummer Nate Campbell is a 'Ruby Riot twin' - and that's all he wants anybody to know. The only person allowed close is his brother, Will, and even that's not working out these days. For Nate, girls are a dispensable distraction and the rock star life suits his needs. Nobody will expect him to hand his heart over if he pretends he doesn't have a one.

Falling for Nate Campbell was the second biggest mistake of Riley Sawyer's life. Working as a junior PR girl on the Blue Phoenix European and Ruby Riot tour, she earned a reputation as unapproachable and unable to switch off from work. With a side to her life Riley keeps hidden, she was happy to maintain her distance. But after an encounter with Nate, and several difficult weeks, Riley left the circuit and vowed never to tour with bands again.  

Two years later Riley achieves her ambition and is a PR manager and Ruby Riot are headlining stadiums. She meets Nate again for the first time in two years and nothing has changed. The animosity stands and so does the attraction. Neither sees this as a problem because they can avoid each other for the two days until Riley leaves. 

What they don't count on is that Nate's bloody-mindedness and an unfortunate set of circumstances leads to the pair snowed-in at a pub on the Yorkshire Moors for several days. Forced to spend time together, Riley and Nate are pushed into discussing what happened on tour and find themselves in a situation neither of them expected. 

When the snow retreats and they return to London, Nate discovers Riley has her own secret and it's one deeply connected to his past. Nate backs away, unsure if he can continue a relationship with the girl who's more like himself than he realized. 

Nate won't have long to decide because Riley isn't prepared to let a damaged commitment-phobe into her life. And she has zero interest in fixing a man who refuses to fix himself.  

Reprise is the third standalone book in the Ruby Riot series.

Shuffle Blog Tour: Excerpt + Giveaway

 

Welcome to my stop on the SHUFFLE blog tour! I have a great excerpt from the book to share with you today - and don't forget to enter the giveaway!

Shuffle (Ruby Riot #2)
Author: Lisa Swallow
Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 28, 2016

Description:

With Ruby Riot on a break, Will Campbell, Ruby Riot bassist, returns to university to finish his degree and fails badly at everything apart from partying. He needs major help if he wants to pass his final year and attempts to join a not-very-rock star study group. Will is horrified to discover the person organizing the group is Fleur Roberts, the girl he's secretly crushed on for two years and who recently threatened him with a restraining order.

Fleur's rock stars are history academics. She has no interest in any variety of pierced, tattooed slacker, especially not the jackass rock star who humiliated her at a party. There's no way in hell that Will Campbell is joining her group.

Faced with losing the easiest way to fix his academic problems, Will has the perfect solution: pretend he's his twin, Nate. Will and Nate have swapped identities before so nothing can go wrong. Surely.

Fleur is successful academically, but her love life is a failure. Following a number of disastrous dates, she finds herself falling in love with a guy who is lying to her. But Will's deceit isn't the only thing about to shatter her world. When another man Fleur trusted betrays her, and she attempts to retaliate, Fleur discovers how dangerous he is. And when Will becomes involved, the repercussions threaten both of their futures. 

(every ‘Nate’ who is in the excerpts with Fleur is Will)

The door opens and I glance up, annoyed at the interruption. A tall guy stands in the doorway. If it wasn’t obvious who he is, the Ruby Riot t-shirt stretched across his muscled chest is a giveaway. A half-smile plays across his mouth, one I remember from a couple of weeks ago. The guy pushes long fingers through his dark, spiked fringe as he looks over.

Nate Campbell. Or Will.

Whoever he is, this is one of the big-headed rock star twins. I don’t care which, because after Will’s behaviour at the party I don't want to see either. He can get the hell out. I wait for the guy to close the door and walk away. He doesn’t.

“Yes?” I ask.

“This the history group?”

“Correct.”

“Cool.” He drags a spare chair from the corner of the room to the table.

“What are you doing?”

“Joining your group. To study.” Without waiting for an invitation, he sits and folds his tattooed arms on the desk. “That okay?”

“Depends. Which twin are you? Will or Nate?”

The guy studies me, and I return his scrutiny, looking for a sign of guilt or embarrassment over his treatment of me at the party. If there’s any chance at all that this is Will, he can bloody leave.

“Which one do you want me to be?” He fights the smirk edging around the corner of his lips, but fails.

“I think you know the answer to that. You were both there.” There’s no sign on his face of guilt, either this is Nate or Will’s too arrogant to care.

The guy ignores the response. “Is it because I have to ask nicely?” He clears his throat. “Please may I join your study group?”

Nita giggles and I glance at her. Great, she’s wide-eyed and silly because a Campbell is in the room with us. Steph looks less impressed, but Sam joins Nita in his interest.

“Why are you back at uni, man? Thought you guys made it big.”

Possibly-Nate-maybe-Will shrugs. “Want to finish my degree. Back-up plan and all that.”

“And you want to join us?” I ask, not wanting to waste time on his life story.

“Is that a problem?” asks Nita.

“I suppose not.”

“Welcome,” says Sam.

I glower at Sam; but despite my delusions, I’m not in charge here.

  CHAPTER REVEAL:

 
WILL

Touring with Blue Phoenix fooled us into thinking we’d hit the big time and would never return to our ordinary lives again. Yeah, Ruby Riot dominates our corner of the music scene, we’re bombarded with questions and posts on social media, fan mail, and the whole deal. But, at the end of the day, we’re three guys and a girl in a band. 

The band’s progress halted and life rewound when our lead singer, Ruby, danced off into the sunset with the Blue Phoenix guitarist and a baby on the way. Jax lost his shit over Ruby getting knocked up by Jem; but what’s the point in freaking out? She’ll come back; Ruby lives and breathes her music more than any of us. Apart from Jax, who was recently caught in feminine wiles of his own. Tegan, Bryn Hughes sister, kicked his backside into line in a spectacular fashion. I can almost see the thumbprint on his forehead. Things lulled as we finished the album and while Ruby has her baby. Then, we try again. 

So, me and Nate rewind several months, back to studying and fulfilling our promise to parents. Mine still think we need a back-up plan for when our little musical venture fails. If they’d bothered to pay attention to our lives over the last few months, Mum and Dad would know this isn’t likely to happen any time soon. 

We spent all our money from the tour within weeks. Now the choice is a job, which equals less time and energy to rehearse, or doing what the parents want and dutifully completing our degrees. No big deal, only a year left now. 

Okay, big deal because I fucked up last year. I need high marks in all my courses this year or I’m going to fail my degree. An Arts degree. Nobody fails an Arts degree. 

Living the rock star dream involved more than the odd weekend gig – rehearsals, obligatory partying, and girls. Hangovers equal missed lectures; but somehow, Nate juggled his student/rock star life as adeptly as his drumsticks. Nate studies the same course as I do, but we choose different class times. As only a handful of people in the world can tell us apart, between us we manage to attend at least one of the classes a week and keep our attendance average. 

Nate became slack at note-taking last year, his hungover haze interfering with the ability to open his laptop, but somehow he muddled through and passed. I came a tiny percentage away from failing the majority of courses. 

I only have myself to blame. 

The worst subject is history. Nate talked me into this as our major, and I agreed, thought it would be easy, but no. Hardly any classes to attend, but so much fucking study. We study English lit too; that’s easier to scrape through by reading notes and creating my own crazy theories. History is bloody complicated. 

Two weeks in, and things are off to a bad start. 

“Shit!” I throw my paper at Nate, across the table in the cafe. 

He looks at the assignment-marking sheet on the front and screws his nose up. “Oh, man. Fifteen percent? Was that for getting your name right?” 

“I’m fucked!” I grumble and sit next to him. “What about you?” 

“Sixty-three percent.” 

“How? How do you do that?” 

“Study?” 

“I do study!” 

“Study more.” 

I swear under my breath and pull out my phone. A text from Dee, the chick I hooked up with at the beginning of term; a starry-eyed Fresher who won’t take the hint I’m not interested. Times like this, I need to remind myself who I am. Will Campbell, bass player for Ruby Riot heading for the big time. Not Will Campbell, failing Arts student trying to keep his parents happy. 

“What the fuck do I do? I tried this time! Really tried. I’m shit at history.” 

“Man, if coming back to uni sucks this much, find a job instead.” 

No way. As long as I’m here, I have cash flow from my parents. I promised that when Ruby Riot started making more money, I’d pay them back a thousand times over. Behind their smiles of agreement, I see what they really think: never going to happen. 

“I can’t. I’m not doing some shitty job at a supermarket while I wait for Ruby to come back to the band.” 

“Well, suck it up, princess. Keeps Mum and Dad off our backs if we get a ‘proper’ qualification.” 

“When do you think they’ll believe we can make a living from the band?” 

“When we actually do. The album launches next month, we have a few small gigs lined up. A bit of cash. Ruby’s coming.” 

“With her kid?” 

“Dunno. Maybe baby-daddy Jem will come and babysit.” 

I laugh; we both do, at the image of Jem Jones – bad-mouthed, bad attitude, reformed addict – with a baby as his new accessory. “I’d pay to see that. Reckon he changes nappies?” 

Nate screws his face up. “Dude, I’m eating.” 

I steal one of his chips and watch the other students around. Most pay little attention to us, although we have hangers-on some days. Their belief we’re partying rock stars draws them to us, and the partying is one of the reason for my bad grades. 

Nate slurps from his can of energy drink. “There’s a study group if you’re that worried.” 

I stare. “Study group? Are you mad? I suppose that’s a group of chicks who meet in the evenings in the library and argue about feminist interpretations of history. Like the one in my class, can’t remember her name. Jeez, she doesn’t shut up and the guy teaching the class hardly gets a word in. No wonder I’m not learning anything.” 

“Just a suggestion.” He pushes my paper across the table. “Fail this semester and you’ll be stacking supermarket shelves.” 

“As if! What about the album? We’re gonna be big.” 

“There’s no guarantee, you know that.” Nate stands. “Whose turn is it to go to the Shakespeare class this afternoon? Yours?” 

“Oh crap, no, please don’t make me sit through that again. I bloody hate Shakespeare.” I stand too. 

“Your name sake? No affinity there? What did you expect when you signed up for Lit as part of your degree?” 

“Please,” I beg. “Do this. After that shit mark, I’m not in the mood.” 

Nate wrinkles his nose at my pleading look. “Fine, but you do the next two classes.” 

“I love you, man.” I grab the side of his face and kiss his cheek hard. Nate pushes me off. “Jesus, Will!” 

He hauls his messenger bag across his shoulders and wanders away. Slumping back in my seat, I chew my lip. Study group sounds like a viable option. Unfortunately.

Cadence Blog Tour: Guest Post + Giveaway

Cadence (Ruby Riot)
Author: Lisa Swallow

Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 5, 2015

Description:

Tegan Hughes joins Blue Phoenix and Ruby Riot on tour, and drummer Bryn isn’t the only one who notices his little sister isn’t a kid anymore.

Jax Lewis is the guitarist for Ruby Riot and the band are rising to success. He’s hot property and loving every minute of his new found fame. Now, he’s on tour supporting Blue Phoenix and living his rock star life to the full. Until Tegan walks into his world and puts the brakes on.

Tegan Hughes is taking a year out and has her sights set on touring Europe with her big brother’s band. Blue Phoenix drummer, Bryn isn’t happy when his sister arrives unannounced at his hotel in Lisbon, but Tegan isn’t the type of person to take no as an answer.

With her big brother breathing down their necks, Jax and Tegan attempt to keep a handle on their growing attraction but that proves harder than they thought. Jax is used to getting whoever and whatever he wants and after kissing Tegan once, he knows one thing…he wants more.

The problem is, Tegan isn’t rock star girlfriend material. She has ambitions of her own and refuses to let anything stand in the way of her plans. But when Jax and Tegan’s relationship becomes public knowledge life becomes a hell of a lot more complicated.

Cadence is the first standalone book in a new rock romance series, Ruby Riot. The series is a spin-off from the Blue Phoenix books but you do not need to read the Blue Phoenix series first.  

Top Seven List

In the book, Ruby Riot and Blue Phoenix are on a European tour. I lived in Europe when I was younger and thought I’d list my top places.

In no particular order… My readers may recognise some of these locations from Cadence and my other books.

1. Amsterdam, Netherlands
Jax and the band visit Amsterdam which ends in drunken confusion. I lived on the Dutch and German border for a number of years and loved this part of the world. Amsterdam is a city of contrasts and not only about the nightlife! I only stayed a couple of nights but would love to visit again.

2. Berlin, Germany
When I was a teen, I visited Berlin with my parents. This was when the city was still divided by the Berlin Wall. I had mixed feelings about the city back then and would love to return and see the modern day Berlin

3. Interlaken, Switzerland
I’ve visited here a couple of times and this really is a beautiful part of the world. I loved catching chairlifts up the mountains (no way I could walk!) and somewhere there’s a photo of me standing inside the mouth of a glacier.

4. Edinburgh, Scotland
Shortly after I graduated from university I attended the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and stayed with a group of friends who were performing in a show. The atmosphere and history of the city sticks in my mind. Another place I’d like to return to!

5. Rouen, France
I’ve never visited Paris but travelled to a few places in France. I taught English to French business people in Rouen. Living there was strange, very different to visiting as a tourist!

6. Pembrokeshire, Wales
This has to be on the list! Blue Phoenix are from St Davids in Wales and although I never lived there, I did live nearby. Amazing beaches (a little colder than the Perth ones I visit now) and I have great memories of walking my dog along them as a child.

7. Venice, Italy
I only have vague memories of Venice as I was a child when I went, but the images stay with me. Especially my younger brother getting attacked by pigeons in the famous St Marks Square! And my disappointment at not taking a trip on a gondola. 

Lisa is an Amazon bestselling author of contemporary and paranormal romance. She is originally from the UK and moved to Australia in 2001. She now lives in Perth, Western Australia with her husband, three children, and Weimaraner, Tilly, who often makes appearances on Lisa’s social media.


Lisa’s first publication was a moving poem about the rain, followed by a suspenseful story about shoes. Following these successes at nine years old there was a long gap in her writing career, until she published her first book in 2013.


In the past, Lisa worked as an English teacher in France, as an advertising copywriter in England, and ran her own business in Australia. Now she spends her days with imaginary rock stars.
 
She lived in Europe as a child and also travelled when she left university. This has given Lisa stories which would sound far-fetched if she wrote them down, and maybe one day she will. These days, Lisa is happy in her writing cave, under Tilly’s supervision.
