Chasing Desire by Joya Ryan - BLOG TOUR & REVIEW


Adult Contemporary Romance
Release: February 16, 2015
Publisher: Brazen/Entangled Publishing
It’s her best friend’s wedding, and Autumn Lane is trussed up in a pink bridesmaid dress with a big “everything is great” smile plastered across her face. She’s not going think about her life imploding, or spending the next two weeks housesitting in the ridiculously small town of Diamond. No, she’d rather think about the tattooed hottie in the wedding party…and how to turn the wicked way he’s looking at her into a night of intense pleasure.
Huck Galvin is fiercely attracted to his mystery woman’s no-BS attitude, but their one-night-no-strings plan backfires when Huck discovers that Autumn is the out-of-towner he’s “chaperoning” for the next two weeks. Outside the bedroom, the two can’t stand each other, yet Huck can’t deny how much he wants one more night with her. But Autumn isn’t going to make it easy for Huck. Not by a long shot…

Review by: Atalia

Chasing Desire is a sweet and spicy quick read. You will be left swooning and breathless as you come across Huck and Autumn’s encounters & follow them through their journey of finally finding their other half.

This is the second novel I’ve read from Joya Ryan and I was not disappointed. What I enjoyed most about the novel were the  characters themselves. Huck,  Autumn and the gang are such fun and likable characters that you are left wishing you could be part of the group and hang out with them. I also very much enjoyed the dual POV. I absolutely LOVE IT when we’re able to see through the eyes of both main characters. I feel that it brings so much to the story and helps readers understand the characters much better. Joya Ryan does a great job of this. Through her writing you are able to experience first-hand the hardships both characters went through that led to them becoming guarded and produced loneliness, loss of hope, and not being able to trust anyone when it came to matters of the heart. 

Autumn is total kickass! I loved her. She’s strong, loyal, independent, and isn’t afraid to speak her mind. The past is something she wishes she could forget but unfortunately its something she can’t let go of because of insecurity. To everyone, Autumn presents an image of an unfazed, “nothing can hurt me" woman. When inside, she’s hurting. That all changes when Huck comes blazing through.

Huck is a dreamboat!! Tattoos, piercings, and a huge heart. What more can a girl ask for ;-) Trust me, once you read the book, it will be hard not to love him. He’s the kind of guy who you know will always have your back, someone you can depend on. Unfortunately, due to past hurt, Huck’s desire to be in a relationship i pretty much nonexistent. One night with Autumn, has him rethinking his stance on sharing a future with someone.

Huck and Autumn both went through quite the damaging ordeals but finally they were able to find the missing piece they were both unconsciously looking for; each other. And finally they were made whole.

Dove Glitch is embarrassed about everything above her knees and below her belly button. When she has to fill a delicate, embarrassing prescription the last thing she needs is a sexy-as-hell (and brand spanking new) pharmacist behind the counter.

Johnson Fitzwell’s first day of his dream career also happens to coincide with the exact moment Dove needs her feminine meds filled. His glorious voice is way too loud–as in, he should be counting down the hits with Ryan Seacrest kind of loud. Thanks to Johnson’s handsome face and gorgeous jaw line, Dove dives headlong into her waking nightmare and asks for a vagina-scented cream.

How could she not fall for him? Dove's only active goal now is to get Johnson to kiss her right on the lips. Either set. However, his horrible girlfriend is one of many obstacles preventing her from making that fantasy a reality. When Dove defends Johnson in the most unhygienic, unconventionally gross way in the middle of a crowded restaurant, their tender, slightly tantric relationship is off to a galloping, farting start.

Each print copy of this book will be dipped in holy water by my mom, and glared at by my father as he purses his lips. Neither will help. So, drop your pants and turn to the left and cough. I hope you're not allergic to latex, because it’s time to fill your prescription. Anally.

Review By: Lisa 

Gynazule For Everyone!


*warning: do not read this book if you have zero sense of humor!



Otherwise you can't not think it's the craziest but AWESOMELY HYSTERICAL STORY!



Debra Anastasia had me in tears laughing so hard. It couldn't of come at a better time, real life is stressful and I needed this book! The author does such an amazing job with creating such a ridiculously hilarious book yet doesn't stray from the storyline just to spit another funny out. Knowing that there is a second book coming out THRILLS ME TO PIECES!



I've read prior books from Ms. Anastasia and she actually has written my very favorite book called Poughkeepsie. If you've ever read it, it will give you a huge sense of who Debra is as a writer and most likely a person. Her heart in all her books is clearly portrayed beautifully regardless of how she decides to write it. She is a true inspiration to her peers because her talent and eclectic writing is brilliant. Thank You Ms. Anastasia for filling my heart with joy once again. This time you went to HYSTERICALLY FUNNY x INFINITY!

Review by: Cristina 

The life of Dove Glitch was such an embarrassing read and had many cringing moments. The book begins when she has to fill an uncomfortable feminine prescription that she did not want anyone to know about let alone discuss it with the hot pharmacist, Johnson Fitzwell that is taking care of her order. Luck is something that is not on her side nor in her vocabulary especially ever since she had picked up her medication. 

You’re a good person. I’m sorry I crossed your path. I’m like a black cat, a ladder, and a pap smear.

OMFG!?!? WTF is this crap?!? This must read 4 stars book was such a change of scenery than the sappy, emotional stories that I am usually reading. Dove’s story had me full of tears many times in a humorously way. Her story takes you on a ride of many weird over the top moments that may or may not happen to a person in real life. I must say that there was never a dull moment and full of unease and disbelief. SMH. LOL! Seriously, pick up a copy today! You will be glad you did. ;)

Oh God. We’re talking about me being naked, in the shower with cooter cream. Please world, end. Kill me.
“I know it’s not soap. I just… if it’s scented… I can’t do scented. Flowers and stuff like that. Fruit-flavored soaps make… things… burnish.” She could tell from the peeks at his face Mr. Fitzwell had never stepped foot in bath and lotion store, wanting to try the array of fun fragrances. Nor had he purchased Peppermint Candy shower gel, foamed up his nether regions, and felt like he had dipped them in lava. Dove crossed and uncrossed her legs at the memory.
Mr. Fitzwell seemed concerned. “Okay, just a heads-up. It’s definitely not good to put any fruits or plant life near your genitals.” He made a V with his hands and formed his own pretend vagina in front of his pants.
Dove covered her eyes and tried to defend herself because now she could hear the sickly older woman beating her supporters with a purse.
Dove’s mumbling got louder with her embarrassment. “I don’t put weird things down… there. Just make sure that the cream’s vagina-scented. Just plain. For vaginas.” She kept her eyes on the counter. 



There are a lot of eyes in Debra Anastasia’s house in Maryland. First, her own creepy peepers are there, staring at her computer screen. She’s made two more sets of eyes with her body, and the kids they belong to are amazing. The poor husband is still looking at her after 17 years of marriage. At least he likes to laugh. Then the freaking dogs are looking at her—six eyeballs altogether, though the old dog is blind. And the cat watches her too, mostly while knocking stuff off the counter and doing that internal kitty laugh when Deb can’t catch the items fast enough. 

           Debra has a smattering of books in a few genres. There are two in the Seraphim Series and three in the Poughkeepsie Brotherhood Series with a prequel, Poughkeepsie Begins in the near future. Fire Down Below is the first in the comedic Gynzaule Series. The second, Fire in the Hole, will be published in late 2015. The Revenger, a dark paranormal romance will debut this summer. And last, a novella called Late Night with Andres is special because 100% of the proceeds go to breast cancer research. (So go get it right now, please!) You can find her at DebraAnastasia.com and on Twitter @Debra_Anastasia. But be prepared...

FINDING HAVEN by TA Foster ~ REVIEW TOUR

FINDING HAVEN by T.A. Foster


May 2014


BOOK SUMMARY:

Power. Money. Control. Love.
He has all but one.

When movie star, Evan Carlson, discovers his girlfriend’s picture with another man splashed on the cover of gossip magazines, he decides he’s had enough of his fishbowl life and attempts to outrun the media frenzy his relationships have become. Driving until the road stops, he ends up on the remote and quaint Perry Island, where a heartthrob can blend in like the locals and be a beach bum as long as he wants. All that changes when Evan meets Haven Owen, aspiring songwriter and the girl he just can’t get enough of. A summer romance turns into something much deeper and Evan gets tangled in his own web of lies to keep Haven in his life. But when his ex tracks him down, Evan learns there are some things you just can’t outrun.

Is the cost of love, losing all control?

***Spoilers***
 
This was a very sweet story. The characters are very passionate. This was a very lighthearted and fun read. 
 
Evan is a well known movie star that has hit the end of his rope. He has to get away. He drops everything and disappears to Perry Island. 
 
Haven is struggling with being back home for the summer. She is working in her father's island store, but would rather be anywhere else. She wants to be a songwriter, but her parents do not approve of her career choice. So she is stuck on the island. 
 
When Evan meets Haven, he feels really bad for her. He ends up taking a job working at the store with her. They become very close and end up falling in love.
 
Cue the papps! When he location is spilled, Evan must decide what it is he truly wants. What he wants is Haven. He is determined for her to be happy, even if it is not with him in the picture.
