Book Blitz & Giveaway: A Beautiful Rock by Lilliana Anderson

***CONTENT WARNING*** New Adult Romance for ages 18+ due to sex scenes and adult situations.

After the video of his public outburst catapulted him to superstardom, Marcus now has everything he ever wanted.

Or so he thought. Be careful what you wish for, his mother always told him…

After spending two years touring the globe, he’s growing tired, and that endless line of women has become a sea of blurry and meaningless faces.

When he returns home and receives a visit from Naomi, his previous object of affection, he finally starts to look at himself and what he’s become. He doesn’t like it.

Something has to change…

On the surface, Lisa is a pretty simple girl. She goes to work, spends time with her friends, and adores her dog, Perry. She loves the quiet life and isn’t interested in the bright lights of Marcus’s world. So when he takes an interest in her, she makes it very clear that she doesn’t want what he’s offering. You see, Lisa has secrets, and being seen with Marcus will be the key to her undoing.

Being a man used to getting what he wants, Marcus won’t be taking no for an answer. For the first time, he has met someone who he feels a definite connection with, and he won’t be taking no for an answer – even if it means inadvertently ruining everything Lisa has worked so hard to conceal…

Will Marcus and Lisa find a way to deal with her secrets and be together? Or will she push him away, ensuring Marcus is destined to always have his affections unreturned?

Engrossed in my movie, it isn’t until Perry jumps off the couch and starts barking that I realise that someone just knocked on my door. Picking up the remote, I hit pause and shoo Perry out of the way so I can see who’s there.

Glancing through the peephole, I close my eyes and wish away my visitor. Nothing good can come of this. “I’m not home,” I call out, feeling slightly annoyed that he’s here. Again. What part of ‘I’m not interested’ isn’t he getting?

“That’s ok,” Marcus replies. “I’ll just wait out here until you get back.”

Despite my annoyance, I can’t stop my mouth from quirking in a slight smile at his response. “You’ll be waiting for a while. I’m not sure what time I’ll be back,” I reply, watching him through the peephole.

He smiles and leans against the door. “Ok,” is all he says, as he pushes back and moves to sit on my front steps.

I assume that he won’t stay there for too long and move back to the couch to continue watching my movie.

“Perry,” I call, trying to get my preferred companion to re-join me on the couch. But he won’t budge from the door. He just sits there, looking at it, then at me as his tail wags impatiently. "I'm not letting him in. So you're wasting your time."

Perry starts whining then lifts his paw to scratch at the door. “Seriously Perry, what is your deal with this guy?" Perry responds by looking at me with his sad doggy eyes and continues to whine.

I roll my eyes and walk back over to the door. “Perry, if you still had your balls we’d be taking a trip to the vet after this. You’re supposed to be loyal to your owner. Not to some guy you’ve only met once.”

Seeing me place my hand on the doorknob, Perry’s tail starts to wag like crazy. I’ve never seen him so eager for me to let a visitor in.

“You might as well come in. My dog would like to see you,” I say as I open the door.

Marcus stands immediately and turns his charming smile toward me. “Your dog?”

“Yes. My dog.”

ARC Review: Breaking All The Rules by Cynthia Sax

Nathan Lawford, Blaine Technologies' chief financial officer, is known as the Iceman. He conducts his personal and business affairs without emotion, never allowing himself to become involved with anyone. When Nate sees something or someone he wants, he negotiates, paying a simple, set monetary price. 

Now he wants Camille, the company's green-haired intern. 

Camille Joplin Trent never expected to be paid to pleasure the man of her dreams. She can't quite figure out why this is a bad thing. Nate is intelligent, handsome, sophisticated—everything she's ever wanted in a lover and never thought she could have. Their contract is for a month, thirty lust-filled days of making every sexual fantasy they've ever had come true. At the end of this month, the rules state that their relationship will end. 

Of course, Camille has never been good at following rules.

Camille Trent grew up on a hippie commune. She's the green-haired freak intern. This rebel child has multiple piercings and never follows the rules.

"I break rules. I push people. I don't fit in anywhere."

She has been attracted to Nate for long, he sure drives her wild. So, when he gives her the opportunity to sign a contract that states how much he'd pay her for their encounters and what she can expect from him, she doesn't even take the time to read it. She signs it not knowing what she's going to get into.

In other words, Camille decides to take the risk of having her heart shattered into pieces in a month by the man of her dreams. A man destined to emotionally destroy her. She knows pain is sure to come, but cautious has never been a strength  of hers. 

"You calm my crazy ass down." - Camille

"With Nate I'm not a freak, a target of scorn. I'm a rockstar, a woman to be envied."

Nathan Lawford is a stubborn man who likes to be in control of everything he does. Raised by unloving parents, he doesn't know what love is nor does he believe it exists. Used to use money to mask emotions, he pays for one hour of his mom's time once a month.

This ruler setter executive wants Camille and he wants her under his terms and conditions. But guys, he's a total sweetheart under his icy exterior! I fell in love with him from the start.

"My entire life sucked. And I didn't realize it until I met you."

And so it beings, the ups and downs of falling in love and a wonderful romance between a woman that is not who anyone expects and a man that doesn't believe he is worthy of love. 

"If you try to change me you'll be unsuccessful," I warn. Nate chuckles "If I tried to change you I'd be a fool."

"You're perfect." - Nate

"I'm only perfect when I'm with you." - Camille

No more, I can't tell anymore! Can't give anything else away. You have to just buy this book and read it! I just hope it all continues with a next book! Cynthia Sax sure did a great job!

You’ve come to my blog,  and now you’re wondering, who’s Paige Ryan? This is the part where I’m supposed to tell you about myself. I could tell you that I am a romance writer. Or that I have my first novel coming out in 2014. Sure, I could tell you those kind of things. Like where I’m from, when I was born, etc. etc.  But I’m not particularly fond of traditional bio’s, so I’ll list some fun, or at the very least, interesting, facts about myself instead.

• I like pumpkin spice lattes in the fall, Halloween, and snowflakes.
• Early morning is my favorite time of day, and I prefer a good sunrise over a sunset.
• My mother’s my best friend (and I’m not afraid to admit it)!
• I’m a chocolate fanatic, coffee fanatic, and wine fanatic — overall fanatic.
• For me, writing is a process that cannot be rushed.
• I dream of having a point in my life, where I take three months and do nothing but travel to exotic places.
• My family is the most important thing to me.
• I love gardening and tend to have a green thumb outdoors , but will kill any indoor plant almost instantaneously.
• I used to dream of opening a little bakery/coffee shop, where I’d sell books.
• I used to be anti-Kindle until I got my first one, then I ate my own words because I could never go without one again.
• My favorite holiday is Easter. Oh, and I’m a big sucker for Valentines Day. I always have been.
• My favorite color is that particular light green color used for baby clothes. What is it? Sea-foam?
• I have an obsessive personality, ( I got it honest. Thanks Mom.) but, thank heavens, it seems to be limited only to my work.

She began her first historical novel at sixteen, but a life full of adversity derailed her as she lives with the restrictions of Ankylosing Spondylitis.

Now Jane is writing a Regency series as well as contemporary, new adult, stories and she is thrilled to be giving her characters life in others' imaginations at last.

You might think that Jane was inspired to write by Jane Austen, especially as she lives near Bath in the United Kingdom, but you would be wrong. Jane's favourite author is Anya Seton, and the book which drew her into the bliss of falling into historical imagination was 'Katherine' a story crafted from reality.

Jane has drawn on this inspiration to discover other real-life love stories, reading memoirs and letters to capture elements of the past, and she uses these to create more realistic plots.

'Basically I love history and I am sucker for a love story. I love the feeling of falling in love; it's wonderful being able to do it time and time again in fiction.'
