LID BOOK 2 NAME AND COVER REVEAL
Lost For You
 |
Follow up to Lost in DistractionExpected release: July 23rd 2013Blurb TeaserHer whole body starts to shake, so I pull her close to me again. Her shoulders are slumped over and she grabs my shirt, gripping so tight that her knuckles are almost white with strain. Once the shaking subsides I shift back, placing my fingers under her chin so that her eyes meet mine. Her eyes are red and puffy, like she’s been crying for days. I’ve never seen her like this. So low, so broken, so shut down. “Baby, let me look after you. We’ll talk about everything tomorrow. I’ll tell you everything you want to know, but tonight I want to get you out of these wet clothes, wrap you up in my arms and comfort you. Will you let me do that, hon? I need you to let me help you.” Unable to form words, Elle slowly nods, never once dropping her gaze. I strip her wet tank top off her, wrapping her towel around her chest as I pull her off the counter, carefully placing her feet on the kitchen floor. I yank her shorts down her still wet legs until she’s standing naked and exposed in front of me. There is nothing sexual about this moment. I take her hand and lead her into our bedroom, walking over to her drawers and pulling out a new top and pajama pants for her. I kneel down in front of her, lifting her feet one at a time as I put her legs into the pants and pull them back up to her waist. Not once has she lifted her head. She appears mesmerized by my every move. Leading her over to the bed, I sit down on the edge and pull her into my lap as I hold the tank top in front of her. She puts her arms inside the top and I pull it the rest of the way down her body. I grab the towel and start drying her hair. I’m taking my time, wanting her to feel cherished and adored, hoping she’ll see the sincerity in my actions and not just my words, I wrap my arms around her and carry her into our bed. “I’ll just be a minute, sweetheart,” I murmur, placing a tender kiss her forehead. I make my way into the bathroom, stripping off my wet clothes and wrapping a towel around my waist. Walking back into the bedroom, I grab a pair of boxers from the closet and put them on before crawling into bed beside her. I move my arm around her shoulders and pull her tight into my side. She still hasn’t said a single word since I arrived. I start tracing shapes on her arm as I hold my lips to her forehead. She lays her head on my shoulder, moving one of her legs across mine as her heat cloaks me. This is where I’m meant to be. Where I hope Elle wants me to stay. BJ Harvey Author Profile: Having always loved reading, and having been befriended and inspired by some awesome self published authors and book lovers alike, I decided to start writing my first novel, Lost in Distraction in December 2012. It was a conscious decision that started with a song, then the prologue and then catapulted from there. I love music too, like REALLY love music, if there isn't music playing, something is wrong. Out and Proud Vampire Diaries fan as well. I'm also a wife, mother, full-time university student and I do contract work for myself from home.

writing some of my own.

cathartic to write and has opened me up to all sorts of writing
possibilities.

We Proudly Present the Cover Reveal of Frozen Secrets By W.S. Greer!
Detective Jarrod Granger is a homicide detective with the Anchorage Police Department, investigating a slew of murders in the city. The killer is stabbing his victims 19 times each, and cutting out their tongues, and he has already struck three times. Detective Granger's own past may get in the way of his present and future, but he and his partner, Detective Misty Lawrence, must trudge through their tumultuous work relationship to track down the killer who has been dubbed The Tongue Snatcher.
Stacey Alexander is a guarded, 26 year old, unnatural redhead who is unshakably loyal to her father Vincent. She works day in and day out to take care of Vincent since he has been diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer and she would do anything to keep him safe, even when she meets a detective who is quickly falling for her. But Stacey and Vincent have a dark secret; one that bonds them together more than any "normal" family. And soon, Stacey will have to choose between protecting the father that she loves, or accepting the love of the detective who is zeroing in on a
familiar target. ©

Welcome The Winemaker's Dinner Dessert Blog Tour
Summery
Left on bended
knee, with nothing but a ring in his hand and a gaping hole in his chest, Ivan
Rusilko lost everything when Jaden Thorne said, “I can’t.”
Now, six months later and despite her endless attempts to reach him, finding forgiveness for Jaden’s indiscretion is last on his list of things to do. Dr. Ivan is married to his career now, and his professional success is taking him places he’s never been before. But even the glow of accomplishment can’t heal his devastated heart. Determined to recover, to move forward at any cost, he now finds moments of respite in distractions that leave him emotionally bankrupt. He’s empty, a shadow of his former vibrant, life-loving self. On the outside, he may seem to be the man he always was. But inside, a terrible desire threatens to rip him apart and ruin him forever.
Meanwhile Jaden is haunted by the memory of the moment she saw the light wither and die in Ivan’s eyes. She knows it died at her hand. After months of trying to explain herself, of begging for mercy, she takes herself back to Miami, back into Ivan’s path, for one last chance at redemption. Can she entice him back into her arms? Convince him to give her a second chance? She’s determined to do whatever it takes to find forgiveness—even if all that’s left is forgiving herself.
In this final book of The Winemaker’s Feast Trilogy, The Winemaker’s Dinner: Dessert, author Dr. Ivan Rusilko is writing solo, drawing freely on his own life and love experiences to craft a heartbreaking and wildly erotic tale about lost hope, desperation, contrition, and—if it’s possible—the quest for a perfect ending to a real-life love story. True to its title, Dessert serves readers an indulgent, decadent last course, rich with twists, turns, and tantalizing truths.
Love is beautiful, guys like this really do exist, and the power of real romance is something we can all believe in.
Review
"A curl at the corner of his mouth confirmed what her eyes were saying. They were both in for one hell of a ride." excerpt from The Winemakers Dinner...Desserts.
And what a long, strange trip it's been! I was so excited to finally get my Dessert...and it was everything I had hoped it would be. Dear Doctor, you have brought this full circle...this was such a great expression of your life, your love, your excitement...your "freak" (a part of Ivan we had not met before). Reading Desserts is written in such a way that one could almost hear Ivan reciting it to his readers....his fans....his friends! You could feel his pain, his lust, his love, his uncertainty....."She'd lost his trust, and all the privileges that came with it because she'd been chasing what she thought was her dream..." resulting in a heartbreaking tail of love lost....hoping for love rekindled..but neither trusting their instincts...and he certainly couldn't trust her with his heart again...right?
As in the previous books in this trilogy, assumptions were made and lack of communication created increased stress levels for both Ivan and Jaden. In addition, in the previous books, many readers grew to really dislike Jaden...in Desserts, we are introduced to another side of her...still unsure, but a good deal of that is based on the mistake she made in Entree, but willing to take a chance on love....if she can get him to at least talk to her.
The Winemakers Dinner Desserts is an emotional roller coaster you do not want to miss! And when you come to the final words...."because you happened" .... you will be reminded of Ivan's favorite quote..."Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened!"
5 Stars!
