Fire and Ice Book Tour by L.L. Hunter

Title: Fire and Ice 

Series: The Legend of the Archangel. 

Genre: NA Paranormal Romance/ Urban Fantasy 

Publisher: Collective Presse/ Writer’s Bloq Inc 

Format: eBook 

Release Date: December 10 2013 


Blurb 
Archangels are extinct and the world is now inhabited by a half-human/half-angel race called Nephilim. But it’s been told that one Archangel remains – a child born of fire only known as The Legend. 

21-year-old Nephilim Scarlett Porter is about to start her Angel training at the infamous Blackbell Academy, so she doesn’t have time to worry about dreams  of mysterious dark angels. The last thing she expected was her dream angel to be Dyston Blackbell or that finding her was part of his mission – a mission Dyston is prepared to fail to keep Scarlett and the secret of who she is safe. 

But, danger is closer to Dyston and Scarlett than they realize. 

War is brewing, led by a group of Nephilim called The Lucifites, and they need The Legend to carry out their plans. With the help of their friends, the two must find the leader of the Lucifites and stop his plans for destruction. But will Dyston and Scarlett’s love survive what’s coming? How far will Scarlett go to save those she cares about the most? 

My Description:
Scarlett Porter is new at Blackbell Academy. She was automatically admitted because she is a Legacy meaning that she is kind of VIP because her parents attended that school before. Being a Legacy also means privilege but she didn't want anybody to know because she didn't want to stand out among the others.

As soon as she meets with Dyston Blackbell she feels like she already know him. He is an awesome guy and especially the one she has been dreaming about since a long time. Dyston told her that she was his mission. He had to find the Legend, the  daugther of an Archangel and she is the one. He needs to protect her because great danger awaits her.

Together and with the help of their friends, they will have to fight against the ones who need her to begin a war. Will they be able to say their world? Does love will succeed?

My Opinion:
Another very good reading. I am so happy and grateful that I won that book thank you to L.L. Hunter about that. That was my first book that I read about angels and I really enjoy it. I really like the characters, especially the lovely Dyston. I am still not sure about his brother Lakyn, I will have to read the next book to get to see what will happen with him.

Can't wait to see what's next. I recommend that book without hesitation!!

Excerpt:
The criminal was alive and well. Yet, the one man who could have exposed him was dead. Phoebe stared at the clipping of the obituary notice printed in The Times five days ago. The knowledge of his death settled around her as black as the darkness surrounding her carriage. The lantern flickered with the sway of the carriage as she slid her gaze over the paragraph that extolled Bow Street Sheriff John Stafford’s criminal expertise, and past the mention of his involvement in The Cato Street Conspiracy. A man’s life reduced to two paragraphs. For the hundredth time since she'd first read the obituary, she settled her gaze on the final line. 

September 1837, John Stafford died in his London home. 

Phoebe refolded the clipping, set it on her lap, and pulled another document from her reticule. She ran her fingers along the age-yellowed edges of the only letter her father had written to her mother, the letter she had shown John Stafford when she'd visited him in his home five years ago. She unfolded the foolscap and, with a deep breath, began reading. Her lips moved in tandem with the words she'd long ago memorized. 

May 20, 1820 

My Dearest Amelia, 

Please forgive this letter so long overdue. I am well and I have found safe haven—at least for the moment. You have, no doubt, heard the news that I am wanted for high treason, and now you know that my suspicions were correct. Amelia, you cannot know how my accusers make even the most abhorrent criminal look like one of God’s angels. I sorely underestimated the depth of their deceit. Fool that I am, I did not anticipate being branded a traitor in their stead. 

I know your heart is heavy, my love, but no more so than mine. It is shocking to learn that one’s leaders are willing to sacrifice their countrymen for money and power. Ironically, had I known then what I now know, I would be guilty of their accusations. Do not shudder. I know I speak treason, but you cannot comprehend the fine line between reason and desperation when all choices have been eliminated. 

Would it shock you to hear that I relish the day I shall destroy my accusers? They have taken all I hold dear: you, our darling Phoebe and, lastly, my freedom. While I cannot like Arthur Thistlewood—his motives are not pure as he would have us believe—in one thing he was right: those few rich and powerful men who rule supreme in our society have stolen our rights. 

I have a plan, which, of course, I cannot elaborate upon here, but I must uncover the truth. Otherwise…well, otherwise, I am no better than Thistlewood—or those men who brought him to justice. 

I do not know when I will have another opportunity to write. Give Phoebe my love, and do not despair. I have not. 

Your loving husband, 

Mason
 

It wasn't until her mother's death ten years ago that Phoebe learned her father sent this letter.  The letter, hidden amongst her mother's personal correspondence, had been folded with a newspaper clipping dated February 24, 1820, the day after the Spencean Society's planned assassination of the Cabinet. The newspaper clipping, a statement made by Lord Sidmouth to the London Gazette concerning the charge of high treason against Thistlewood and his murder of bow street runner Richard Smithers, also mentioned the bounty on Thistlewood's head. The paragraphs were framed by a note written in her father's hand on the sides. 
 
Sidmouth could not have yet known that Thistlewood killed Smithers. Here is proof positive the noose had been put around Thistlewood's neck before he even planned the assassinations. 

"Why?" Phoebe whispered. Why had her father been falsely accused and why had he cared that the government ensured Thistlewood's capture? Thistlewood was a known murderer, a man—a sharp sideways jostle yanked Phoebe back to the present. 
 
“What in—” 

Another jolt cut short the exclamation. 

Phoebe yanked back the curtain and peered into the darkness. No lights dotted the countryside as they should have and the moonlit sky revealed open fields beyond the road. 

She quickly refolded the letter and clipping, stuffed them into her reticule, then opened the door an inch and called, “Where are we, Calders? I don’t recognize this road.” 

“Taking a shortcut, Miss,” came the muffled reply. 

“Wha—" The coach listed, and she slammed the door with the force of the movement, tumbling back against the cushion. "By heavens." 

Phoebe seized the handle again. The door was yanked from her grasp and flung open. A man filled the doorway. Phoebe jerked back as a rush of air guttered the lantern flame. Her heart jumped when she lost sight of the intruder for an instant, then the light flared to life again. The man gripped the side of the open doorway of the slowing carriage, one leg braced on the floor. She took in eyes bluer than any she'd ever seen, an angled face, and a fit body leaning forward on one powerful leg—a leg clad in finely cut trousers. Thievery paid well these days! 

She cut her gaze to his and he grinned. Phoebe pooled her strength. Understanding flickered in his eyes the instant before she kicked his shoulder with a slippered foot. With a loud grunt, he toppled from the coach. She lunged forward, caught hold of the flapping door, and hung her head out the doorway, scanning the road behind for the brigand. The coach was slowing even more, and her heart leapt higher in her throat when he jumped to his feet and starting toward them. 

“Calders,” she yelled, “lay whip to the horses. Quickly!” 

The coach halted and she tumbled through the door, and landed on her side. A dull pain throbbed deep in her shoulder. She pushed onto an elbow and fingered the tender place on her arm. No blood. Thank God she'd worn a cloak. 

The carriage creaked and Phoebe looked up to see the murky form of her coachman as he dropped to the ground. She scrambled to her feet and turned in the direction of the highwayman. He wasn’t hastening to them as expected, but strolled forward while dusting off his trousers. She turned on unsteady feet to face Calders and her eyes came into sharp focus upon the face of a stranger. 
 
She recoiled, then narrowed her eyes on him. “Where's Calders. What have you done with him? If you harmed him—” 

"Never fear, madam, he is unharmed." 

Phoebe whirled at the sound of the velvet, deep voice belonging to the highwayman. 

"I promise," he said, "Calders was simply delayed.” 

A sudden pounding of hooves riveted her attention onto the distant shadowy forms of four approaching horsemen. 

“There!” one of the newcomers shouted. “There she is.” 

She looked back at the highwayman in time to see him step toward her. He seized her arm. She tried to yank free, but he began dragging her toward the carriage. 

“Mather,” he said in a low voice, “get this coach underway. Now." 

Phoebe dug her heels into the ground and was abruptly hauled over his shoulder. She cried out, but he didn't slow his pace.  

“Release me, you fool!" she shouted. His shoulder dug into her stomach with each long, hurried stride he took. Phoebe kicked, despite the pain. 

"Be still" he ordered, and clamped his arm down on her legs. 

She thrashed harder. A shot rang out. She jerked her head up, but found herself tossed onto the cushions of the carriage.  

The highwayman jumped into the carriage after her. “Damnation.” He slammed the door shut. “They mean to put a ball through me.” 

He pounded on the coach roof and it lurched into motion. Phoebe clutched at the door handle, but pitched forward despite the effort. Her captor shoved her back against the cushions, holding her firm as he pulled back the curtain and peered out the window. 

"Bloody hell.” He looked at her. “Fine time for shenanigans.” 

She frowned. “Perhaps you should keep a tighter hand on your band.” 

“They are not my band, madam.” His gaze was still fixed out the window. “They are, however, a persistent band and will reach us momentarily.” He twisted to look in the direction they were headed, then pounded on the carriage roof and shouted, “Mather, make for that abandoned farm up ahead.” 

The carriage veered and Phoebe bounced left and right despite his hold on her. Stories of runaway carriages conjured pictures of broken necks and twisted bodies, and she envisioned herself pitching forward head first into the opposite seat. The arm pinning her to the cushions suddenly encircled her waist. Another jolt of the carriage, and her unwanted companion yanked her tight against his chest. 

Her senses flooded with the aroma of wool and musky sandalwood. They listed when the carriage swayed perilously to one side. Phoebe seized his lapel and buried her face deeper in his chest. If there was a God in heaven, she would land on the brigand when the carriage rolled and he would break his neck while saving hers. 

The carriage halted. He threw back the door and jumped to the ground, dragging her with him. The farmhouse stood a few feet away. Phoebe scanned the distance. The riders approached at a gallop and would soon reach the barn that sat sixty feet from the house. The highwayman grabbed her hand and started around the side of the ramshackle farmhouse. She started to yank free, but hesitated. Two bands of extortionists? Why—and which was the more dangerous? 
 
They rounded the building, then he pushed her against the wall, and demanded, “Which of your other admirers am I dealing with?” 

Other admirers? Phoebe flushed. Adam. 

She had refused Adam's offer of marriage three times this year alone, but hadn't considered that her childhood friend would kidnap her in an effort to coerce her into accepting his proposal. But if this man was Adam's friend, where was he—and who were the other thugs? God only knew, but at least Adam's friends didn't pose any real danger—other than the possibility of her ending up in Gretna Green. 

Her kidnapper drew a pistol from the back of his waistband. Phoebe pressed closer to the rough stone of the farmhouse. He stepped forward two paces past her, extended a steady hand, and leveled the weapon on the oncoming riders. A shot rang out and shouts damned him to the darker parts of hell. 

He ducked back behind the farmhouse. “Never thought I’d need more than one shot.” He stuffed the pistol back into his waistband. “How many did you count, Mather?” 

“Three, sir.” 

“Only three? Not terrible odds.” 

“If you say so, sir.” 

“Do you hear that?” the highwayman whispered. 

Before Phoebe could reply, he hurried along the building to the rear. She took two quick steps to the corner at the front of the house and peered around the edge toward the road. The brigands were nowhere in sight. 

“Bloody hell,” her captor cursed, and Phoebe turned. “They left their mounts on the other side of the barn.” He hurried back to where she and his man stood. “Mather, your second pistol, if you please.” 

The older man handed over the Murdock Scottish flintlock pistol he gripped. 
 
"You haven't got a spare pistol you can give me?" she asked. The highwayman's head snapped in her direction. "I need protection," she said. 

"I am your protection."

Title: Playing Hooky

Author: Rita Webb

Tour Host: Lady Amber's Tour

Synopsis: 
Valentine’s Day. 

And my 21st birthday. 

Whoop-de-doo. 

Just another college day full of classes and more homework than is humanly possible. 

…until Jason, my best-friend-since-kindergarten, shows up to take me out for the day.  


Like old times: the two of us on a wacky adventure, playing hooky from real life. With his lopsided grin and tickets to a circus full of misfits and monsters, he introduces me to a whole new world—one full of magic and mystery—and turns my reality upside down. 

Except nothing goes as planned, and we end up running through the city to find a missing siren before someone brews a love potion with her blood. 

Sirens and love potions, witches and elves, and Valentine kisses. Nothing will be the same for me again.

Author Bio: 
Leaving the house to go to school, I had schoolbooks spilling out of one hand, the other holding my place in a Nancy Drew novel, and bunny slippers still on my feet. My mom was a wee bit upset. 

I haven't changed much. Still always have a book (or two) in my hand or creating stories in my head, and although I don't have any bunny slippers, I love writing in my jammies and snuggly slipper socks. 
 
When I grow up (maybe a hundred years from now), I'd like to be a superhero, but for now, saving the day, one page at a time, suits me just fine. 

With my husband TJ (my own cuddly werewolf), I home-school our three girls, who keep us busy with art, science projects, books to read, dance classes, and walks about the park.

Excerpt: 
I’m left alone in the apartment’s tiny entryway with Jason. 

“Emma,” he says, stepping closer, his head leaning down toward me. He is way too close, and I remember I’m not dressed. 

Tall with wide shoulders, Jason is muscular from hard labor (construction and welding) and athletic adventures (kayaking and mountain biking). The perpetual scruff movie stars work hard to perfect shadows his jaw, and his tousled black hair kept short. He cuts it every week because it grows too fast, like at least a half inch a day. With the hazel green eyes and the confident grin he usually wears, he’d make any girl swoon. 

Well, any girl but me. I’d more likely hit him upside the head with a broom than swoon over him. 

“Coffee’s in the kitchen. I need to get dressed and showered; then we can go for pastries at the bakery around the corner.” Just off campus, there’s a  scrumptious little shop, but I never have time in the mornings. I turn back to my room but then stop. “Oh, how do I need to dress for the day?” 

“Sure.” He runs his hands through his hair, but his eyes are too busy following my ass to pay attention to anything I said. 

“Jason.” I snap my fingers. “Up here. What do I need to wear?” 

His gaze shifts to my face, and he grins, not even having the decency to flush. “Dress warm.” 

Good. So we’re going to have an adventure.

Blurb:
The night Chance Duncan drunkenly kissed me on his couch, I vowed my revenge. I finally had something over his head, something that would bring him to his knees. It only served him right. He bullied me for years and turned me into this messed up person I am now. Though I didn’t know at the time he wasn’t that mean little boy anymore. He was almost a man and easily stole my breath away. I just wanted to make him fall in love with me, then break his heart into a million pieces. Just the way mine was. Instead he put the pieces back together and I started to feel whole again. Good things never last. He did what I was supposed to do. Broke my already fragile heart all over again. Betrayed and alone I fled my home town and started a new life where I wasn’t in the shadow of what I did. Now he is back and trying to worm his way into my heart, again. Though he will never know it will always belong to him. He hurt me and I want nothing to do with him. Life has other plans. Doesn’t it always? He doesn’t know though. Doesn’t know what I’m hiding or who I’m hiding from. I never thought I would see Chance again and I’m afraid that he’ll get hurt getting mixed up in my mess. Though he is right in the middle of it, without even knowing it. I have to find a way for us to get out, before somebody dies. My name is Norma Jean and this isn’t a fairytale.

Author Interview:
Q)  As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up?  
A)  I wanted to be a writer. I have always wanted to be a writer and its amazing to get to live that dream. 

Q)  What inspired you to write your first book? 
A) Little things. I listened to stories from family members and friends, and slowly but surely my first book went from one little thought to an entire novel. 
 
Q)  Where do you get your information or ideas for your books? 
A)  Research is any authors best friend. It pays to be correct when it comes to that kind of thing. I have even come to say Google is my best friend. 


Q)  What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating any of your books? 
A)  That anyone actually likes my books. When I released my first novel I thought for sure one or two people would buy it and that would be that. It surprised the heck out of me when that book made it on the top 100 on Amazon and B&N, and stayed there for weeks. I was humbled and over joyed by the response.

Love, life, and happily ever after? It’s all relative. Marine biology student Emma Pierce lives in paradise—geographically speaking, anyway. Stranded on Sanibel Island, Florida, she works at a nursing home by day and spends her nights dodging the island's infamous bad boy, Jackson Taylor, at her favorite karaoke bar. Trying to heal from the loss of her sister and a failed relationship she rerouted her life for, she's ready to graduate and finally leave Florida behind. When a run-in with Jackson and his rowdy crew goes sour at the bar one night, sparks fly and irreversible damage is done. It’s no secret that Jackson loves to get underneath her skin, but this time he's gone too far. Now all he wants is to earn her forgiveness before she's gone for good, but their ideas of closure—and the future—are enough to keep them worlds apart.

Love’s Second Chance 

By: L.P. Dover

Book Synopsis: 
Korinne Anders had it all. She had the perfect job, the perfect house, and the perfect husband. When tragedy strikes, her world takes a devastating turn. Six months after losing her husband to a car accident, Korinne vows it to herself never to love again. If she doesn’t allow another man in her heart, then there’s no reason for her to feel the pain of loss. This plan seems to work, but is put to the test when Korinne’s best friend can’t stand to see her suffering any longer. Korinne’s long-time friend, Jenna Perry, has an idea and it involves helping her friend find the spark of life in her soul no matter what it takes. Korinne didn’t know that Jenna’s plan meant bringing back a past love, a second chance with the man that Korinne had to leave in college, but always kept a place for in her heart. When Galen Matthews learns of Korinne’s loss and that she’s finally moved back home, he wants nothing more than to be there for her. The love he felt for Korinne years ago has never left him, and now he’s given a second chance to not only mend her heart of her loss, but to also continue the love they shared in the past. Will his love and determination make her strong enough to give fate a second chance, or will her fear of losing another love make her run away?  

What will Korinne do when she’s faced with a love so powerful that no matter what she does there’s nowhere to run from it?

My Review:
You know sometimes when you read a book and you feel like you are close to the characters and that at the end of that book, you feel like you had a wonderful time, the impression that something great just happened to you... That's how I felt when I read Love's Second Chance!

From the moment you start reading the book, you can't put it down and you want to know what's next. You feel sad for Korinne because she seems to love her husband so much. He was everything to her. Then you want her to feel better and to move on with her life. When she is reunited with ther past love, Galen Matthews, once again, you fall in love with him. He seems like the perfect guy for her. He never stops loving her after she had to leave for college and it seems that she always kept a place in her heart for him. It's like life is giving them both a Second Chance. He knows her so well and make sure that she finds back her passion for her work and that she slowly comes back to him.

I assure you that you will love that book as much as I did. That would make a wonderful movie. If you love Nicholas Sparks books then you will love L.P. Dover Love's Second Chance!!

Author Bio: 
“I am an avid reader that loves my collection of books. Writing has always been a passion of mine and now I am glad that I get to share my passion with the world. I live in North Carolina and I absolutely love being a southern girl. I spent several years in college starting out with a major in Psychology and then switching to dental. I worked in the dental field for eight years and then decided to stay home with my two beautiful girls. I spent the beginning of my reading years reading suspense thrillers, but now I can't get away from the paranormal/fantasy books. I knew ever since then that if I wrote anything it would be in a paranormal aspect. Now that I have started on my passion and began writing, you will not see me go anywhere without a notebook and pen.”
