Book Blast for Stare Him Down by Riley Murphy

Stare Him Down

by Riley Murphy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: Contemporary Erotic Romance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

This Dom’s life is turned upside down when he agrees to enter into a modern-day marriage of convenience with a woman who’s sassy and vanilla.

Only problem?

She’s not vanilla. And the side of sassy she comes with is sure to get them both into trouble when he finds out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Excerpt Two:

One deep breath later, she squared her shoulders and sent up a silent prayer that James was still in the front hall waiting for her so she could make a grand entrance. The more she put herself in front of him the less likely he’d be able to turn away.

Oh yeah, when she rounded the corner on the stairway landing, James was there and he certainly wasn’t looking away.

Not even a blink over his rapidly descending scowl. Which told her one thing.

She’d nailed the outfit.

*

James waited until Mickey stopped on the bottom step. They were almost eye-to-eye between the boots she was wearing and the additional inches afforded by the stair riser. “Did I misread the invitation?” He let his gaze flicker down to her snugly fit bustier. “Are costumes required?”

“Nope, just for me. Don’t you like it? The kids are going to love it.”

No he did not like it. And as for the kids? “Is this an all-boys hospital?”

She made a face that said he was being a jerk, and then tilted her head as though assessing him. “Why would you ask that? Because Wonder Woman is a babe?” She straightened her head and glared at him. “Superheroes are not to be sexually coveted.”

He crossed his arms over his chest and glared right back. “Says who?”

“Says every mother and father ever.”

That made him grin. “Oh. I suppose you went to Comic-Con and took a survey when those mother and fathers were drinking their costume-coiffed faces off, before they sexually coveted each other in their hotel rooms at the end of the evening?”

Things Riley loves:

Writing books

Connecting with readers

Doing giveaways for her readers

Things Riley Hates:

Laundry. Seriously. She’d rather slam her fingers in a car door than do the dreaded bleach load.

A few of Riley’s favorite reviewer quotes:

If you love intellectual mind candy, read Ms. Murphy’s work!

Creative, profound and soul searing scenes abound...

One wonders if Ms. Riley is in the sex therapy and marriage counseling business as a day job. The D/s part of this story is Fabulous.

If Riley wasn’t an author she’d be an international spy with top-level security so she could have a peek at Area 51 and decide for herself if those green guys are for real. Failing that, she’d likely go with chicken sexer.

Ssking Large Foldable Travel Duffel Bag

This duffel bag is very nice. It is large enough to pack just about anything in. Can even be used as a over night or weekend bag. I have it with me on vacation and am using ti at the minute to hold our dirty clothes. I love that this has 2 long straps on it great for carrying over the shoulder. The zipper seems to be very strong. Inside there are a few compartments. These compartments are great for carrying all kinds of things. If using for a over night bag you can put your personal care items in the slot. Carrying it to the beach it's great for putting your sunscreen, water bottles or whatever in. I love this bag. I love that I can toss it in the washer and dryer when it gets dirty as well.

I received this product free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Prefer Green 5-Size Multi-Color Food Storage Container Set

I really like this set of nesting bowls. They are great for left overs and packing lunches. The bowls are microwave safe, but the lids should not be put in the microwave. These bowls can go in the refrigerator and freezer. These bowls also dishwasher safe.

There are 5 bowls in the set. The bowls are almost clear with a white milky look that you can see through to tell what is in the bowl. Each bowl has a different color lid. The lids are vibrant and bright colors. These would be great for portion control also. The bowls are not 100% leak proof, so I wouldn't pack soup for lunch but they are great for thicker items, like the consistency of white gravy. They are great fro pasta's, meats, and other solid foods. I really love that they nest so they don't take up a lot of room, my kitchen is small so these are great.

VBT: Take Me to the Willow by Shelly Brimley

Take Me to the Willow

by Shelly Brimley

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: Historical Fiction

BLURB:In defending his life-long friendship with Charlie, Will may have inadvertently had a hand in the growing chaos that leads to the horrifying night when his familiar world is shattered.

When Will Wright, the eighteen year old son of a small-town Arkansas sheep herder in 1905, begins reading his mother’s journal, he is inspired by its startling content to start putting his own experiences to paper for posterity. An unsophisticated but principled young man, Will is becoming increasingly aware of the hatred that exists in the world. When he begins his own journal, Will can’t know what events are to take place in the next five years – from his mother’s battle with a life threatening illness, to his embarrassments of learning how to be in love for the first time, to witnessing Charlie’s fate at the hands of the bigoted townspeople. While part of him wishes the pain in those pages didn’t exist, he knows that the original purpose for keeping the journal has been realized - to show his kin how he became the man he is. He will probably never go back through and read again the pages he’s written, but someday, someone will, and they will see that along with the hurt, Will’s life had been one that knew true joy, absolute love, and undying friendship.

Excerpt One:

I’ve only been in this cell for three days, but it feels like a might lot longer than that. I know what I did wasn’t considered proper by most folks down here in the South, but I don’t regret doin’ it. And I’d do it again, if I had the chance. Charlie never did anything wrong. He’s just colored. Not much he can do about that, and even if he could, I suppose he wouldn’t want to anyhow. I didn’t feel it right that Charlie be ignored when all he came to do was buy feed and tools like the rest of us. So when Eli Carver said he don’t take no “colored” money, I thought it best to point out that he must be blind as a bat since Charlie’s dollar and my dollar are both the same shade of green. And when I held the two right in front of Mr. Carver’s face and politely asked him to show me the difference, he later told Sheriff Coleman I was threatenin’ and causin’ a disturbance. When I heard that, it just made my blood boil, and I decided Eli Carver needed to be taught a lesson. I went back to that store, although Charlie tried to get me to leave it be, but the next thing I knew, I was holdin’ Eli a foot off the ground against the door to his very own supply store. If Sheriff Coleman hadn’t been right there, I might have been able to argue my side, but there’s no point arguin’ against proof and common sense. Besides that, Sherriff Coleman is known for his feelin’s about colored people, so I knew I was beat before I started. I suppose I just didn’t care.

Interview with Shelly Brimley

Do you have any tattoos?  Where? When did you get it/them? Where are they on your body?

• No tattoos.

Is your life anything like it was two years ago?

• For the past six years, my life has been a whirlwind of raising a young family. Two years ago I was contemplating the idea of having another baby, raising my two little girls, and working on another revision of Take Me to the Willow. Things are too different today. I’ve had a baby boy since then and have published my book. Now I’m working on the sequel and trying to keep up with the needs of my family.

How long have you been writing?

• I’ve written little things here and there, but I got really serious about writing five years ago.

What advice would you give a new writer just starting out?

• I would strongly encourage them to dive in! I would suggest getting into a really great writer’s critique group right away, attend regularly, and develop a thick skin. I would talk to them about the realities of being a writer… that it’s very difficult to be criticized, it’s difficult to get picked up, it’s difficult to self-publish. But if you are passionate about writing, then you write! Take classes, read and learn how to improve, go to seminars and conferences.

Tell us something about your newest release that is NOT in the blurb.

• There were a couple of personal experiences in my own life that shaped the final scene of the book. I had written the scene prior to these things happening, then went back and rewrote it. Now every time I read that scene it makes me cry.

Synopsis: James “Mac” Maccari’s career in the mafia is at a standstill. As the best solider in his Capo’s crew, all he wants is to be noticed enough to get Made in the Pivetti Crime Family. But instead, his Capo’s interests seem more focused on keeping his solider hidden from the boss, and every other Made man he can. Seemingly stuck right where he is with no chance of going up, Mac doesn’t know what will finally get him the attention he needs to earn his button.

Until she shows up and all eyes are on them …

Melina Morgan survives—that’s just what she does. She’s never been able to depend on anyone but herself to keep her safe and get things done. When a chance encounter puts her in a bad situation with the cops and the mafia, Melina has no choice but to put her faith in the hands of a man that not only infuriates her with his cocky arrogance, but catches her interest, too. Playing pretend in a fake relationship with Mac doesn’t seem all that terrible, until pretend turns real and bullets start to fly.

A man is nothing without his woman …

When the attention on Mac and Melina turns from bad to worse, and someone in the Pivetti Crime Family decides the couple needs to go, they know they’re fighting an uphill battle alone. But making it to the end alive means Mac could get what he’s always wanted, and Melina might find what she didn’t even know she needed.

Together, they’ll make waves the mafia has no choice but to notice …

About Jasmine Walt


I'm obsessed with books, chocolate, and sharp, pointy objects. Somehow, those three things melded together in my head and transformed into a desire to write. Usually fantastical stuff, with a healthy dose of action and romance. My characters are a little (okay, a lot) on the snarky side, and they swear, but they mean well. Even the villains sometimes.

When I'm not working on my next book, you can find me working on my dao sword form, spending time with my family, or binge-watching superhero shows on Netflix. I love to hear from my readers, so if you've got a question or just want to say hi, feel free to contact me via my website at www.jasminewalt.com.
