Blurb:

Despite denying their love for years, in the end no distraction could keep best friends Tristan and Elle apart. Passion and heat explode as the two finally discover what they’ve been missing, needing, wanting for so long.

When Tristan and Elle return home for Christmas break, the two are gifted with a few unexpected surprises. Heather, Elle’s sister, has come home and even better, she's now clean and sober. During this time, Tristan and his dad manage to work through their strained relationship, finding compromise and understanding. For the couple, everything is coming together—until circumstances change, threatening their newfound happiness.

Love is an addiction both craved, but when devastating secrets are revealed, Elle pushes Tristan away. He won't let go. She can't hold on. Is their love strong enough to keep them together? Falling in love was never an issue, but for Tristan and Elle, falling apart may be.

Author Bio:

Angela McPherson

Born and currently residing in Midland, Texas, Angela shuffles three busy children (not including her husband) all over the place. She works in a busy pediatric doctor's office as a nurse during the day, and writes at night. She is addicted to coffee–who isn’t? And firmly believes chocolate can fix all–especially chocolate ice cream. She laughs a lot, often at herself and is willing to try anything once (she thinks). When Angela isn’t rushing kids around, working or writing, she’s reading. Other than life experience, Angela turns to a wide variety of music to help spark her creative juices. She loves to dance and sing, though her kids often beg her not to.

Façade, by Ker Dukey & D.H. Sidebottom‏

Blurb : 

WARNING! This book is Dark erotica. This book contains situations that some may find offensive. If you are sensitive to graphic violence read with caution. This book also leads into a second book. You will get answers but the story will continue into a final instalment. You have been warned. Enjoy. 

You meet someone. You date. You fall in love. You marry.
The four simple rules of love….
Wrong! I’m getting married but I’d never met him before now, never dated him, never fell in love. I have no access to the memories of the most magical time of anyone’s life.
My mind won’t allow me to evoke the past, I can’t remember those simple stages to lead me to the fourth .

I can’t comprehend why I would have ever wanted to marry someone like Dante. I should never have passed the first stage, although, I may have seen him through the eyes of the woman I once was, this me that lives, breathes here now, can’t understand how we made it to the next stage.
I’m not sure, without memories, how I know that this voice inside me, telling me I would never have chosen him, speaks some truth, I just know. He’s controlling, arrogant, callous and violent, and utterly hell bent on humiliating and degrading me – Like watching me falter, watching me struggle to comply and be the woman he asked to marry, powers him- as though he wants to break me piece by piece. Fiber by fiber. Until all that’s here is the shell he created from a soul that I once owned. 

Now my memories are slowly returning. And they show me a completely different side to meeting him. Our dates, falling in love. The Dante haunting me in the shadows of my mind is loving, gentle and utterly enamored with me, nothing like the man with me now.
And this is what taunts me. My tender lover turned into a debauched, cruel sadist who is determined to consume my life, destroy my mind and murder my spirit.

I am, Star, and just like with some stars in the sky, the light you see is an echo, a façade, I am already gone
I am a no one.
Especially to him. To him I am the dark in his desires, the corrupt in his depravity.
The sin in his immorality.

My review :

Omg! How do I write this review without giving away any spoilers??????????!!!!!

Seriously, it’s going to be so hard! There are so many “Omg” moments in this book... I cannot believe 2 authors wrote this book! Seriously its totally seamless, I couldn't work out who wrote what. To have 2 of my favourite authors write this book was amazing.

A book that makes you wish you could read quicker, because no matter how fast you read it will never be quick enough.... It's like something has buried itself under your skin and you're itching to release some pressure. I felt I was holding my breath in a lot of places in this book and holding onto the edge of my seat.

This book is the best Dark erotica I've read this year.
Addictive and messed up but with some serious twists.

Dante is one seriously HOT captive and I guess I'm kind of sick, ‘cause I want to be locked away in a room with him. He's calculated and sick, but there are reasons behind his actions.

Star is held captive, when she comes around. She has no memories, past or present….. She has no clue who she is. 

Throughout the book her memories come back to her in flashbacks and when they all come back…. Wow, just wow!  Seriously what I read, I was totally not expecting.

There's so much more I want to write, but I know if I carry on I’m going to spill it. I
wish I could forget what I read because I'll never be able to have that OMG again.

Seriously this is going to be a number #1 best seller. It’s a must read for everyone.

Bring on the next book already ladies ;) ~ Vicci

About the authors :

Ker Dukey : 

I have always had a passion for storytelling, whether it be through lyrics or bed time stories with my sisters. I wanted to be an actress growing up so I could live many roles but I learned early on that my mind was too active... I would want to change the script.I would watch films and think of ways they could of improved the story if they took another direction so i thought it best that i tell my own.

My mum would always have a book in her hand when I was young and passed on her love for reading, inspiring me to venture into writing my own. I tend to have a darker edge to my writing. Not all love stories are made from light, some are created in darkness but are just as powerful and worth telling.

When I'm not lost in the world of characters I love spending time with my family. I'm a mum and that comes first in my life but when I do get down time I love attending music concerts or reading events with my younger sister.

You can find me on facebook where i love interacting with my readers.

Release day and Interview : Stepbrother dearest, by Penelope Ward

Blurb : 

You’re not supposed to want the one who torments you.

When my stepbrother, Elec, came to live with us my senior year, I wasn’t prepared for how much of a jerk he’d be.

I hated that he took it out on me because he didn’t want to be here.

I hated that he brought girls from our high school back to his room.

But what I hated the most was the unwanted way my body reacted to him.

At first, I thought all he had going for him were his rock-hard tattooed abs and chiseled face. Then, things started changing between us, and it all came to a head one night.

Just as quickly as he’d come into my life, he was gone back to California.

It had been years since I’d seen Elec.

When tragedy struck our family, I’d have to face him again.

And holy hell, the teenager who made me crazy was now a man that drove me insane.

I had a feeling my heart was about to get broken again.

Stepbrother Dearest is a standalone novel.

**Contains graphic sexual content and harsh language. It is only appropriate for adult readers age 18+

Stepbrother Dearest will be on sale for the release day only $2.99 (reg. $3.99) and that this will be the only sale of 2014

Interview with Penelope Ward : 

R.R.R.B. : Writing a book about a relationship about a brother and a sister (even if we're talking about step-) is considered a taboo. How did you come up with the idea?

P.W : I always love stories where the couple is forced to live under the same roof.

On top of that, the step-sibling idea is taboo, although of course they are not blood related, but it’s taboo enough that it really solidified my wanting to do it.

Those are the kind of romances I like to read, one that are forbidden…student/teacher etc., so writing it was a lot of fun!

R.R.R.B. : Was it easy for you to promote?

P.W. : People have been more drawn to this book than any of my others due to the subject matter. I’ve had to promote it less as a result which is interesting.

R.R.R.B. : Do you have specific people in your mind, portraying your main characters?

P. W. : For this book, no one specific. Elec, in my head , looks exactly like the guy on the cover. Greta might be Emma Stone.

Thank you very much, for your time! 

Penelope Ward will be very active on Facebook all day, giving things away and there is a release party as well!
