Blog Tour-Hopeful by Louisa Bay

Guys like Joel Wentworth weren't meant to fall in love with girls like me. He could have had his pick of the girls on campus but somehow the laws of nature were defied and we fell crazy in love. And for a short time I thought it would be for infinity.

On July 10, 2006, straight after graduation, Joel left for New York and despite him wanting me to go with him, I refused, unwilling to disappoint my parents and risk the judgment of my friends. I never saw him again. Never even spoke to him.

I've spent the last eight years working hard to put my career front and center in my life, dodging any personal complications - I have a strict no dating policy.  I've managed to piece together a reality that works for me. Until now.

Now, Joel's coming back to London.

And I need to get over him before he gets over here.

*Not suitable for younger readers due to sexual content and language.*

My review

I loved the first book more. 
Hopeful was sweet romance between Joel and Ava from the starting.I am giving this book three stars just because of him. Because he was perfect . He was swoon worthy. He was a perfect man. He was awesome.
I didn't understand Ava. Not at all. I didn't see her issue couldn't understand. I know how it feels when other judges but that shouldn't stop from fighting. She didn't fight. 

Other characters were really confusing. Really frustrated me. I really couldn't understand why they spoke and talk about Ava not having sex. I really felt bad for her.

But the love between Joel and Ana was sweet and how they were together was hot,steamy and sweet and I think you will love that. and Even Tom :)

Hopeful Quotations

“Nothing worth having comes easy, Ava.” – Joel Wentworth

“You taste even better than I imagined.” – Joel Wentworth

All I wanted in that moment was Joel to see inside me, see how much I needed him. I couldn’t tell him, but I needed him to know.

Just when I thought I had nothing to lose, I found out there was further to fall.

“I’ve been having very inappropriate thoughts about you, Ava Elliot” – Joel Wentworth

“Ava? You said something about me touching you. All over. Is that what you said?” – Joel Wentworth

“It’s so good to have you here.” His kisses trailed down my neck.

“In my town,” he kissed over my collarbone.

“In my bed,” he kissed between my breasts.

“In my heart.”

“I thought I locked away in my memory your face, your sounds when you came, but that was better than I remembered,” – Joel Wentworth

“And my mouth, where do you want that? Do you want me to kiss you everywhere?” – Joel Wentworth

About the author

I write sexy, contemporary romance novels. My first novel Faithful was released in April 2014 and the second, Hopeful, was released July 15 2014.

Ruined by romantic mini-series of the eighties, I love all things romantic. There's not enough of it in real life so I'll settle for books and films.

I love the rain, the West Wing, London, days when you don't have to wear make-up, being alone, being with friends, elephants and champagne.

Susan Arden's Breaking a bad boy -Promo Post

BREAKING A BAD BOY (Book 6 Bad Boy Series)

by Susan Arden

Blurb:

SOMEONE IS ABOUT TO BREAK.

Take one spunky tattoo artist, a hardcore badass cowboy, and watch the sparks ignite into a firestorm when one wants to get married and the other is holding out...for sex.
One scorching kiss too many and Sommer Kincaid sets her sights on breaking Rory McLemore. She's been in love this bad boy since high school with his infuriating rule about NO SEX before marriage. Well that horrible rule is about to go down. All the way down.
Especially after Rory gives Sommer a sizzling taste from his spank bank, and suddenly there is no stopping them from exploring each other...wherever and whenever, doing everything under the sun except actual penetration. Talk about frustrating!
From holding out, Sommer is ready to give in. On the verge of saying 'yes' to his marriage proposal, Sommer is threatened with covering her dad's gambling debts. When she gets an offer she can't refuse out in L.A. and the means to make some serious cash, she heads for the coast rather than risk involving Rory in her rapidly imploding life.
As these two hardheaded lovers are forced to the edge, their love is put to the test.
Now it's up to Rory to stake his claim in Tinseltown and prove to Sommer, he's the ultimate bad boy and she's not going to end up as the girl that got away.

WARNING: Filled with badass McLemore cowboys, spunky bad girls, a few variations of hardcore rocker Romeos. Be advised~Breaking gives a new definition for hot-off-the-charts romance.

Falling Back Down

“I don't know if it’s fate, coincidence, or my curse, but I'm still breathing, and my breaths are for you.”

Mags McManus is far from a normal woman in her mid twenties. Being a war widow, a business professional, and a brokenhearted train wreck only skims the surface of the layers of who Margret McManus truly is. Waking up in a hospital bed, alone and confused, Mags once again has to pick up the pieces of her shattered heart. With her best friends by her side, Mags slowly starts to learn the answers she so desperately longs for. But is everything going to continue to spiral out of control? Or is there a light at the end of this dark, twisting tunnel where all the broken pieces can finally fall back together?

Synopsis 

Christian Jack has been tattered and abused his entire life. Being repeatedly placed in and ripped out of foster homes during his childhood, he’s never had a family to call his own.

Driving home from work one morning, he stops into a local diner for a quick bite to eat. Sitting alone, feeling deflated, a complete stranger walks in and changes his world in the blink of an eye. The instant connection he feels toward her is like nothing he's ever experienced. Wanting so much from this mysterious woman, he can’t help but to see her in his every thought and dream. 

When an unexpected tragedy reunites them, it would be unbearable to him to push away the connection he feels for her. She’s everything he’s ever wanted and needed, but is she enough to turn his Cursed Heart into the man he needs to be for her?
