Book blitz for Tethered by Brandi Leigh Hall







Book 

Tethered by Leigh Hall
(BirthRight #1)
Publication date: October 29th 2013
Genres: New Adult, Urban Fantasy

Synopsis:
No matter how hard you fight it—destiny has a mind of its own!
Since foreseeing the imminent death of her parents six years earlier, Chloe has lived a simple, not-so-charmed-life away from her remaining Wiccan family.
Zero magic.
No close friendships.
While struggling to bench-press more guilt than any nineteen-year-old ever should.
But fate intervenes and forces Chloe to return home. As if being an in-the-closet-Seer wasn’t bad enough, now she has to spend summer break with the snarky sister who hates her—and the magical birthright she was hell-bent on denying for all eternity.
Luckily, meeting Mr. Perfect takes the edge off her endless family drama. Hunter’s twenty-five, sometimes old-fashioned in a Jane Austen hero sort of way, and more delicious than molten-lava cake. But the more she tries to hide her family’s magical secrets from this ever-present stranger, the more quickly she realizes he’s hiding a few doozies of his own.
Will the lies and betrayal destroy their relationship before it really begins? Or will learning of their tethered future create an unbreakable bond neither can deny? Either way, their hearts will be forever entwined by destiny.

About the author

AUTHOR BIO
Brandi lives in central Pennsylvania with her fur-ball cats (Onyx and Klepto), where she spends most of her time attached to her laptops, reading books, appeasing her sweet tooth, and watching TV for motivation.

Growing up in a haunted house inspired Brandi’s fascination with the paranormal, so it only made sense that she’d write Urban Fantasy books for both teens and adults.

Brandi hasn’t been lucky enough to meet her soul mate (yet), so she writes paranormal tales of those who have. Her stories combine magical elements with real-life issues, strong female characters, semi-old fashioned men and family values, woven together and told from an emotional, first-person perspective. She enjoys writing sweet stories that teach girls it’s okay to speak your mind and be independent, career-driven, and not worry about fitting in to society’s mold.

In addition to the BirthRight Novels, she also has four additional adventures she’ll be writing over the next few years, so stay-tuned.

Excerpt


Excerpt 1
Hunter grabs my arm, tugging me against his rock-hard-chest. His strong arms wrap around 
my waist at the exact second my hands encircle his neck. With our bodies plastered up against 
each other, it’s impossible to hide the shaking in my legs—or the insane ratcheting of my heart. 
Each time I look into his molten-lava eyes, I fear I might melt right there in front of the 
entire crowd. Every few seconds, his arms wind around me tighter—convincing me just how 
unbearable it is to feel him against me. 
Being this close to Hunter is pleasure—and pain—all wrapped up into one giant ball of 
confusion. My body’s experiencing things it never has, things I’m not sure it’s ready for just yet. 
He renders me powerless in every sense of the word. The one thing that scares me more than 
anything else does. Well, other than magic. 
I’ve never imagined feeling vulnerable to a guy. But in this moment—on this night—I feel 
more helpless than I ever thought possible. 
The heady, sweet scent of his skin is like an intoxicating drug. All I can do is inhale until my 
lungs are ready to explode. 
I wrap the hair on the back of his head around my index fingers, as the goose bumps on his 
neck tease my palms. 
We continue turning in circles in the center of the dance floor. I look up into his smoldering 
eyes, in the hopes of seeing some sign we’re on the same page. The instant I begin gazing, the 
strongest feeling of déjà vu washes over me. 
I contemplate the familiarity of this moment, unable to maintain concentration as he leans 
down to rest his face on my cheek. His right hand slides up my back and under my hair, to find 
its resting place on the nape of my neck. His touch sparks electricity inside of me. I must be 
dreaming.
Why does this guy I barely know have to be so damn perfect? I don’t recall ever being held 
like this—not even when a guy has claimed to love me. Hunter acts like we’ve known each other 
forever. But we haven’t. In fact, we’re more or less strangers. 
I don’t know if I should run away as fast as my feet will carry me, or take everything in until 
there’s nothing left. I never imagined a single person could affect me to the core this way. Part of 
me wants to cry. But the other part of me wants to freeze this moment in time—because I know it 
will eventually end anyway. 
It has to. 
He’d hate me if he found out who I really am. ‘What’ I really am. 
I can’t get close enough to take that chance.
My eyes begin to fill. As I take a few deep, calming breaths, he pulls his head back to stare 
at my face. The pained expression in his eyes touches me. 
Does he sense my hesitation? 
But before I can debate it any further, he gently places his cool, moist lips upon mine.
Time stands still.He leans his head back, as a single tear descends my cheek. But instead of looking surprised 
or upset, he simply wipes the drop away with his thumb. Gazing into my tear-filled eyes, he 
leans in again to take my mouth in a more forceful kiss. His soft lips massaging mine until we 
find a perfect, consuming rhythm. 
My heart catches in my throat.
Numbness takes over my body—like I’m floating on a cloud. Is this what it means to melt? 
I’ve never felt anything like this. Not even close. 
A first kiss like this only exists in fairytales.
And that’s all it can ever be. 
My fairytale.
