Cover Reveal: Act Like You Love Me by Cindi Madsen

Title: Act Like You Love Me
Author: Cindi Madsen
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Age Group: Adult
Publisher: Bliss (Entangled Publishing)

All’s fair in acting and amore...

Brynn McAdams isn’t the awkward drama geek she was in high school—she’s grown up and confident, or at least she likes to think so. But when her old crush, the impossibly handsome and impossibly unattainable Sawyer Raines, comes back to town to direct her community play, Brynn finds herself determined to be someone other than the girl he doesn’t even recognize. Good thing she’s an excellent actress.

After his bad breakup in NYC, the last thing Sawyer wants is to get involved with another actress. But the glamorous and beautiful Brynn draws him in, even though as her director, he knows she’s off-limits. There’s just something about the woman that feels…familiar. Like home.

As Brynn’s lies start to snowball, she struggles to stop acting and come clean. But what if Sawyer is already falling for the fake Brynn, not the Brynn she truly is?

Excerpt

“Cut, cut cut!” Sawyer stood. “Was that supposed to be more passionate? Because it sucked.”

Book Blast (Giveaway): Your Mommy Was Just Like You by Kelly Bennett

Your Mommy Was Just Like You
Kelly Bennett
Once upon a time-according to Grandma-Mommy loved getting messy, wearing kooky costumes, and dragging out bedtime with just one more story. She collected bottle caps and dandelion fluff, and didn’t know how to tie her shoes. Sometimes she was a terror, but most of the time she was a sweet potato. Just like her own little girl today. Kids love to hear about what their parents were like as children, and this celebration of moms and the little girls they were will inspire lots of laughter and memories.

Blog Tour (Guest Post & Giveaway): Darkness of Light by Stacey Marie Brown

Tour Schedule
Freak. Witch. Crazy. Schizo.

Ember Brycin has been called them all. She’s always known she’s different. No one has ever called her normal, even under the best circumstances. Bizarre and inexplicable things continually happen to her, and having two different colored eyes, strange hair, and an unusual tattoo only contributes to the gossip about her.

When the latest school explosion lands her in a facility for trouble teens, she meets Eli Dragen, who’s hot as hell and darkly mysterious. Their connection is full of passion, danger, and secrets. Secrets that will not only change her life, but what and who she is—leading her down a path she never imagined possible.

Between Light and Dark, Ember finds a world where truth and knowledge are power and no one can be trusted. But her survival depends on finding out the truth about herself. In her pursuit, she is forced between love and destiny and good and evil, even when the differences between them aren’t always clear. At worst, she will incite a war that could destroy both worlds. At best, she will not only lose her heart but her life and everyone she loves. Once the truth is out, however, there will be no going back. And she’ll definitely wish she could.

Guest Post on Bullying
Stacey Marie Brown
Who doesn’t root for the underdog? You want to see the nerdy, scrawny kid fight back against his bullies and that awkward girl stand up to those mean girls. Bullying has probably been around since the beginning of civilization. I doubt it will ever really go away. I, too, suffered from the “mean girl” experience. It is a part of life, and my own experience has made me who I am now. It forced me to be a stronger person. These incidents can actually be turned around and used in a positive way. It can make you fight harder, work harder, and appreciate things more.
