New Release! M.B. Feeney Dear Diary
The brilliant and loving Mich Feeney has joined the Magic of Books Promotions team. Her talents and expertise will shoot the promotional company into the stars and beyond. To help welcome her into the family, as owner of the company, I present the newest book of the author and friend she has become to me.
Born and bred in the UK, Holly is getting the chance of a lifetime—six weeks abroad. The Kings, a host family in the US, have invited her to stay with them and get a chance to experience life as an American. When she discovers that the King family includes two teenage boys, will she be glad she came or ready to hightail it back across the pond?
M. B. Feeney is an army brat who finally settled down in Birmingham, UK with her other half, two kids and a dog. Currently at university studying for her BA (Hons) in primary teaching, she procrastinates on her assignments by listening to music of all genres and trying to get ‘just one more paragraph’ written on whichever WIP is open. She is also a serious doodler and chocoholic. Writing has been her one true love ever since she could spell, and publishing is the final culmination of her hard work and ambition.
Her publishing career began with two novellas, and she currently has multiple projects under way whilst Honour, a compilation of her own military based shorts, was released in November 2013 and her short novel, The One That Got Away was released February 2015. Always having something on the go can often lead to block which eventually gets dissolved by good music and an even better book.
Her main reason for writing is to not only give her readers enjoyment, but also to create a story and characters that stay with readers long after the book is finished, and possibly make someone stop and think “what if...”

I've only just met Mich, but I already see a lifelong friend. Her talents go far beyond writing. She's a thankless mother of two, a loving woman to her soulmate and is always thinking of her friends before herself. Maybe that's one of the reasons she's gone into teaching; a chance to shape the young minds of our future writers. I'm so excited to spend time with a generous and loving personality like hers and to learn and grow from her wealth of expertise. My life will never be the same now that you have entered my life.

*pouts that I don’t have a glass of bubbly to toast this awesome girl*
Well, I first ‘met’ Mich quite a few years ago. I can't remember the exact details, but knowing us two, we were probably up to no good. It was online, of course, but that didn’t stop us! We grew close as friends and then we cemented our friendship by meeting up in person. It was at a Twilight convention (don’t groan, it was a fun weekend! Lol).
Here’s what I’ve learned and loved about Mich over the years:
She is fiercely loyal to her friends and family. No matter what, she’s there. No matter what she’s going through herself, she’s there for her friends.
She has a slight music addiction (which we share). I’ve lost count on the artists we’ve talked about over the years lol.
She also adores her cowboy boots (The Boots Stay on!) I swear this addiction was brought on by Jackson Rathbone, but it’s not like I’d complain. Have you seen that man on stage? Phew!
She loves 1 Direction *coughs* Louis *coughs*
She is one hell of a kick arse author! Have you read her books? Damn, this girl can write! She sticks to normal men! Nope, there’s not a billionaire arsehole in sight, thank God!
She’s training to be a teacher. Now, props to her, because being in a classroom of 30+ kids all day . . . nah lol.
But the thing I love about Mich is this. She’s Mich. She puts on no front. What you see is what you get and that’s quite rare in an author. She hates putting herself out there. She hates pimping herself. She’ll bend over backwards for anyone, but ignores herself.
She is an awesome friend and I know that I can count on her for anything. I know she wants the publishing world to take her seriously, because she lives for books – reading and writing.
And Mich, when you get this, when you sit and read this . . . Thanks. Thanks for being such an amazing friend, an awesome author, and someone anyone can instantly love.
*raises cup of tea*

The moment I read M B Feeney’s first
story, I knew I had discovered one seriously talented author. With a
British flavour to each of her stories, M B builds strong, unique
characters that draw the reader in until they can’t help but become
invested. Her latest offering, Dear Diary (The Exchange Series Book
1) is no exception. A great start to what I anticipate will be a
fantastic series.
When she’s not
busy with writing, her studies and family commitments, M B Feeney is
100 percent committed to supporting the indie writing community. She
has not only read and reviewed hundreds, if not thousands of stories
over the years, she has always been there to lend an ear, shoulder,
or hand any way she can for countless numbers of people.
On a personal level, I’ve known M B
Feeney for well over 5 years. She is a true friend, mother, sister
and confidante… a woman who is genuine, honest, and generous to a
fault. (She is also quite partial to pear cider now and then too
lol). She also encouraged me to take my first tentative step into the
world of writing, and for that, I will be forever grateful. I can
honestly say without a single doubt in my mind, that if it weren’t
for one Ms M B Feeney, I would not have become a published author.
L J Harris.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
With stories set in England that are witty yet quirky, M.B. Feeney has a way with words that’ll suck you right into her fictional worlds. I'm proud to call her friend.

Review! Shy Kinda Love by Deanna Eshler
Shyanne hasn't had it easy, but betrayal didn't break her. She pulls herself up and faces life head on.
I fell in love with this book for many reasons. Shyanne is a character who grows emotionally throughout the chapters and her tough yet sensitive demeanor had this reader rooting for her happiness and a resolution to her problems with the swipe of every page. Kade is also a complex character but his feelings for Shyanne and the sexyness steaming from each of his paragraphs made him a book boyfriend I won't soon forget. There is a crew of support characters, and again I was happily surprised to be drawn to each one of them with the intensity I was attached to Shyanne. Ryder plays a big brother role and never deviates from his fierce loyalty to Shy. Gemma and Keegan the fun friends who press Shy until she agrees to live life again and not watch it pass by--these two had me laughing aloud at times. Just when the story had a warm fuzzy vibe , events twisted around and fresh drama unfolded leaving me staying up far too late in the night because I couldn't put it down.

New Release! Falling For his Best Friend by Katee Robert
Meet Avery & Drew in Katee Robert’s newest sexy standalone from Entangled Brazen!
Cover Reveal! Covet by Tina Traverse
Hiding in an isolated Newfoundland outport, Scarlett Winters is the living bearer of the secret of immortality. Sebastian Sinclair, vampire and stealer of souls, might be her only hope to escape a deadly power struggle. But can she trust him? Caught between sacrificing her morals and betrayal by those she trusted, Scarlett will risk everything to escape...unless she dies trying.
Tina Traverse fell in love with writing at the age of eight when she wrote her version of the bible story, The Good Samaritan, for a homework assignment.
This love grew into a passionate affair and has been ongoing for thirty years; and there are no signs of it waning.
Though, she admits, when she was pregnant with her son Christian, the affair cooled.
Tina’s desire to write came calling once again when she needed to find a way to cope with heartbreaking news.
Christian was diagnosed with autism in 2010.
Her method of coping was to write a story about his journey called Forever, Christian.
Tina likes to joke that a girl can only write about real life for so long without jumping back into the world of make believe.
She loves to venture into the world of the supernatural; vampires and witches are her favourite!
Tina enjoys all sorts of vampires but admits that she is fascinated with the modern romantic vampire (think Twilight and The Vampire Diaries).
She is currently working on a vampire series based on her first published book, Destiny of The Vampire and has other projects in the works.
When Tina is not at the computer creating her exciting, magical worlds, she is kept on her toes by her two sons, Christian and Brandon.
Sometimes the author manages to curl up in her favourite chair with a good book.

BLURB: Sexy Twin Brothers. One owns her heart, the other makes her burn. Would it be RUDE to keep them both?
Liam walked into my world and turned it upside
down with his lickable abs, bedroom eyes, and alpha male persona. He was sin personified and I wanted him to
damn my soul. Everything about him drew
me in, daring me to step outside my comfort zone and forget all the rules I'd
made to keep my heart safe. He was rude,
vulgar, and promised everything a good girl dreams about doing with a bad boy.
As if his temptation wasn't enough, his twin
brother was thrown into the mix. Luke
was Liam's polar opposite in every way, except for his panty-melting
looks. Charming, respectful, and a man
you wouldn't mind taking home to meet the parents. There couldn't be a more
perfect man. Put the two of them
together and it was a combination no woman couldn't resist.
I've never considered myself a prude, even
though I was holding out for marriage.
How could I walk away from a night that fantasies were made of? Liam told me that great sex was never
boring. It was dirty, passionate and a little rude. All I had to do was say yes. Two sexy twin brothers promising one hot
night of unadulterated sex.
EXCERPT:
“Hello beautiful. I wasn’t sure what you liked so I made a
smorgasbord of things.” Luke’s voice was
warm an inviting and I couldn’t help but compare it with Liam’s seductive
gravel filled tone. I found it
flattering that he’d went through so much trouble.
“I’m not picky.” I managed a smile even though my lips were
trembling. “It smells delicious.”
“Wish we could say the same. Luke and I are very particular in our
tastes. Wouldn’t you agree
brother?” The fact that he was looking
me over blatantly again made me wonder if were talking about food.
“Very picky.
In fact I’d say our tastes are very singular. Why don’t we eat before we discuss that?”
Again, Liam’s smile was charming but still I felt I was missing something very
important.
Food was the last thing on my mind as I took in
the beauty of the two men before me. For
the most part they were identical, but there were some tale-tell signs that set
them apart. Like the inflection in their
voices, or the way Liam was more guttural while Luke seemed more refined. Small differences but very easily noticeable
if you were paying attention.
Liam set plates of food out on the breakfast
bar, so I assumed we were eating casually.
I was glad we weren’t being formal but when he held out the chair
sitting me in the middle I noticed how close we’d be sitting together. Maybe a long table separating us was a good
idea. Once we’d all taken our seat, I
felt the heat radiating off them. It was
instant arousal and my body wasn’t used to feeling that way. They both piled
food onto my plate from each side, and I wasn’t sure I could eat a bite of it.
Stuffed mushrooms, broiled lobster, steamed
shrimp, cheese scones, and asparagus. My
plate was growing fuller by the moment and I held my hand up with a small
laugh. “Um, guys? That’s more than I normally eat in a
week. At least my nervousness dissipated
a little with their antics.
“Are you kidding? This is a light dinner for us.” Liam picked up my fork and speared an
asparagus stalk, holding it close to my mouth.
It felt strange to be fed, but what the heck. I took a small bite of the succulent greenery
and sighed. It was cooked to perfection
and flavored just right. Having him
watch me chew was a little disconcerting but I let him continue feeding me
until the stalk was gone. I nearly
fainted when he wiped my lips clean with his finger.
“My turn.” I turned toward Luke and a fork full
of lobster waited and I had to admit there was something very erotic about
allowing a man to take care of you this way.
The sensual dinner continued until I knew that
if I took another bite I wouldn’t be able to walk. Then I got to watch in pleasure as they
consumed their food with a gusto that astonished me. Both of them were so fit that I couldn’t
imagine them eating so much but I guess all that muscle had to have some
energy.
“Thank you for dinner. It was delicious.” Speaking softly I felt their eyes on me
before I raised my gaze to meet one then the other.
“Our pleasure.”
Luke had a pained expression on his face and I was confused. He’d seemed fine during dinner, but now I was
afraid something he’d eaten disagreed with him.
“Excuse me for a moment.”
“Is he okay?” I watched him walk away before
turning toward Liam.
“He’s got a bad case of blue balls if I had to
guess, sweetheart. Watching you eat has
to be one of the sexiest things I’ve ever seen.” Liam wet his lips with his tongue and the
action was so sensual I felt it in my abdomen.
Luke wanted me! The thought that
either of these men were remotely interested was flattering. I had no idea what to say.

Cover Reveal! Taste of Summer by Beverly Preston
Laugh, cry and fall in love in the
newest standalone within the
Mathews Family Series.
Meet Ryan and Carrie in Taste of
Summer releasing July 21st, 2015!
Most people know
Hollywood heartthrob, Ryan Summer, as Ryan, no last name required. But once
upon a time, he was just Summer to Carrie Ann—before a decade of blockbuster
hits skyrocketed his success into superstardom.
Summer was smart, gorgeous,
and cocky as hell. Nothing was out of his reach. Not even Carrie Ann Lowell. He
was the love of her life—until he shattered her heart. Their breakup left more
than a profound rift in her soul. It crushed her.
When Carrie Ann’s
college flame forces his way back into her life, his dirty-talking, bold
self-assurance re-ignites a passion she thought had long since been
extinguished. Carrie Ann didn’t believe in second chances.
Not even for him.
No matter how deliciously tempting.
With sparks flying and hidden truths
unraveling, will Carrie Anne be able to deny her desires to save herself from
another heart break?
Carrie Ann
tugged the earbud free from her ear, tossing the handsome young man a small
smile. “Sorry, I couldn’t hear you. What did you say?”
He crossed
a lanky somewhat defined arm in front of her, casually gripping the handlebar
of her bike. “I said, you must be exhausted—” Before she could reply he
continued, “—from running through my mind all day.”
Surely she
must’ve heard him incorrectly. He was probably fifteen at most sporting a baby
face and a patch of ten whiskers on his chin. Her brows tucked into a furrow.
“Excuse me?”
A dose of
youthful overconfidence drifted over his mouth in a sharp grin. “I seem to have
forgotten my number. Can I have yours?”
“My phone
number?” Carrie Ann scanned the near vicinity, row after row of workout
equipment, for the practical jokester responsible for the madness. “Ha ha. Very
funny.
Who put you up to this?”
Her
amusement only encouraged the boy’s macho bravado. “No one put me up to
anything. I need a date. I just got into LA and I’ve got this Red Carpet
event—”
“A date?”
she scoffed at the ludicrous suggestion. Though she looked young for her age,
Carrie Ann was still all of thirty-four years old.
“Yeah, you
know. A date. You, me, hundreds of fans screaming as we stroll down the Red
Carpet.” His voice cracked emphasizing the words Red Carpet…for the second
time. A self-absorbed twinkle gleamed in his brown eyes as if he expected her
to melt and drop to her knees right there in the gym.
“Kid,
you’re barking up the wrong tree.”
“I’m
totally serious. My uncle has this movie premier and I can’t just bring
anyone.” A chunk of blond hair fell on his forehead and he flipped his head to
the side. My date needs to be…hot, and well, you’re the hottest girl I’ve seen
since I got to LA.”
She
sneered at the absurdity. Silliness turned to annoyance. Carrie Ann switched
gyms a few months back, paying out the nose to invest in her fitness and more
importantly her privacy. Her last gym was more crowded than a cattle call
casting session.
Carrie Ann
rolled her eyes. She moved around him, gathering her workout towel and reaching
for her bag. “Look kid, you seem real sweet, but—“
“You’re
right about one thing.” A familiar voice, deep and perfectly modulated,
approached from behind. “She is the
most beautiful woman you’ll ever lay eyes on.
But, you’re reaching for the
stars with this one, Drew. She’s a heartbreaker.”
An ice
cold tickle ascended up her spine raising the hair on the back of her neck. Her
head snapped, glancing over her shoulder, colliding with a pair of rich amber
eyes from her past. Without breaking eye contact, Ryan Summer strolled right
into her personal space sporting athletic shorts, a fitted muscle shirt and a
killer smile.
Nowadays,
most people knew the Hollywood heartthrob as Ryan. Just Ryan. No last name
needed. But after nearly a decade of blockbuster hits and infamous
relationships that skyrocketed his success into superstardom, to Carrie Ann, he
was still just Summer. Her old college flame.
“Funny, I
could say the same about you,” she countered his jab, marshalling a bit of
annoyance in her tone to combat the rush of heat spreading to her already pink
cheeks.
A sexy
smile caught the curve of his wide firm mouth. “Hello, Red.”
“Hello,
Summer.” Carrie Ann tossed a trivial nod toward the teenager. “Who’s this? Your
new apprentice?”
“Apprentice?” Moving a step closer, he dragged his
fingers through the short cropped layers of sandy blond hair. “This is Mark’s
boy. Do you remember my nephew, Drew?”
“Your brother’s boy?” she questioned in surprise.
Avoiding the view of his bicep curling into the size of a softball, Carrie Ann
ran a quick scan over the young man at his side. “Whoa, you had to be four or
five years old the last time I saw you.”
“I don’t remember meeting you.” Drew’s eyes
flickered with bemusement and optimism.
She
extended her hand. “I’m Carrie Ann. I knew you when you were—“
“You’re
Carrie Ann? The Carrie Ann?” The boy
spun toward his uncle, his blue eyes broadened in disbelief. “The One?”
Her
stomach twisted hearing the title. A flash of perspiration instantaneously
flooded her palms. Before she had time to renege on the clammy greeting, Drew
clasped her hand, giving it a polite shake.
A low
rumble of laughter simmered in Summer’s chest and a rosy shade of red burnished
high on the bridge of his nose. He nodded, “This is The Carrie Ann. The One who got away.”
No matter
how many years had passed, it never got any easier to see him. Each time she
did, she suddenly found it harder to breath.
The
pounding of her heart quickened as her gaze slipped over his rugged
well-defined features. A three day scruff accentuated the slight dimple at the
bottom of his chin. The disheveled
layers of hair were wet from exertion near his temple and nape. Time had been
very good to him.
She felt
the warmth of his hand close around the back of her bare arm. The early morning
stubble of his beard brushed against her cheek as he leaned closer pressing a
small kiss near her temple. Carrie Ann squirmed at his nearness, ducking to the
side attempting to put some space between them.
“I’m…I’m
all sweaty,” she insisted breathily.
“It’s okay,” he murmured softly in her ear.
The heat of his breath brought chill bumps to the damp skin near her neck. “I
remember enjoying you all sweaty.”
Ryan’s
golden eyes locked onto hers, anchoring her feet to the floor. The penetration
of his stare momentarily tied her tongue in a knot, turning the awkward moment
even more difficult. Carrie Ann hadn’t bumped into Ryan in at least three years
and she hadn’t seen him covered in sweat in ten. An image of him, gloriously
naked, flashed in her mind and her thighs. Frustration mounted as her body
willingly betrayed her.
Carrie
Ann’s jaw set rigid contemplating the idea of flipping off her hooha for its
insubordination.
“That was
a long time ago,” she snipped abruptly.
“Seems like only yesterday to me.”
