ME, that's who! I know it has been like two whole months since I have last posted anything, but I have been incredibly busy with work. When working in higher ed, you never know what's going to happen, and thus you never seem to have enough time to do anything remotely leisurely during the latter part of the Spring semester. But don't you worry, I read a ton...okay, so maybe not a ton, but quite a few books, before my hiatus that I can't wait to share with you VERY soon. So, until then, Run & Read something fabulous today!

Cover Re-Reveal for Tap by Georgia Cates
Synopsis
A faceless name. That’s all she was when I agreed to play
a part in deceiving her. But then the unplanned happened.
We met. And all I wanted from her was a dirty weekend . .
. until that wasn’t enough and I longed for so much more.
Lawrence Thorn suddenly means the world to me. And that’s
a problem. She’s my business partner’s sister. Forbidden fruit. Pursuing her
can mean trouble for me at Lovibond Brewery. But I don’t care.
I yearn for her skin against mine.
I crave her smell on my body.
I want to make her laugh and then hear her moan my name.
And she does for a brief moment in time.
But Lawrence wants more than I’m able to give. And it’s a
damn shame because there’s no one on earth I want more than her.
An epic love.
A miserable ending.
Unless it’s not.

Release Blitz for Seduction by Lauren Smith
SEDUCTION
Her British Stepbrother (Part 2)
Lauren Smith
Releasing March 8th, 2016
Forever Yours
The sequel
to
FORBIDDEN.
Tristan is a man who knows what he wants. And he wants Kat in his
bed. All he has to do is convince her they belong together . .
.
Kat knows the connection she and Tristan share is special. Her
British bad boy is too much of everything: too hot, too arrogant, too
irresistible to stay away from. He's her addiction and one night with him isn't
enough.
That's what hurts the most. They can't date, can't be a normal
couple, not when their parents are getting married. Because now that she knows he's
going to be her stepbrother, no one can ever find out what they've done . .
.
Seduction by Lauren Smith, picked right up where the first book in the Her British Stepbrother Series, Forbidden left off with Tristan and Kat learning that they are about to become step siblings. With this new information, Kat and Tristan's feelings and thoughts are all over the place. So much so, even debonair Tristan has to fight to maintain his cool.
Sure, they try to act normal for their parent's sake and with all of their family issues to deal with, their awkward behavior can be easily explained away. But try as they may, it is somewhat impossible for these two to fight what has been brewing between them which has transcended beyond the physical attraction and is teetering on love. And the fact that no one, including her father, thought that Kat was Tristan's 'type' provided another layer to thwart suspicion of what was simmering just below the surface between these two.
I enjoyed this installment of the Her British Stepbrother series, but I did not love it as I did the first book in the series. Let me be clear, I liked it... I really did, but the quick pace of this one got the best of me. Just when it was getting good, I mean good good, it was all over, so brace yourself. Also, something was just amiss here and I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe, it was the turmoil of emotions and that were here there and everywhere, or maybe... well I just don't know.
I digress. Overall, I will give this one 4-stars, and would recommend that you jog on out and read Seduction, Book Two of Her British Stepbrother Series by Lauren Smith.

About Lexington and
42nd
It was meant to be the job opportunity of a life time.
It turned out to be so much more…
At the age of twenty five, Emma Lexington takes off to
New York on a once in a life time twelve-month job exchange with the New York
Warriors. Determined to make the most of the opportunity, she prepares herself
for life in the big apple—fast paced, exciting and a whole lot of fun. What she
hasn’t prepare for though, is meeting him.
The charming Will Jensen is in the prime of his playing
career. As the star quarterback for the Warriors, his carefree, football
centric life is thrown into disarray when he meets Emma, the beautiful, easy
going Australian girl who joins the Warriors staff.
Unwilling to throw her professional reputation away on a
fling with the playboy quarterback, Emma turns down Will’s advances, even
though she can’t deny the attraction she feels for him. Their pull toward one
another grows, but it takes a near disaster for Emma to finally give Will a
chance.
Getting together might have been hard, but figuring out
how to stay together will prove even more challenging as Emma must decide
between conflicting loyalties.
Lexington and 42nd is a fun, sexy romance, set in the
exciting world of the NFL in the fabulous city of New York.
But it now!
Excerpt
I jumped as Will’s hand brushed across my back.
“Hey, calm down. I’m not planning on groping you in
here.” He shrugged, frowning. “I just wanted you to relax…you seem nervous.”
My shoulders fell, tension seeping from them as I shook
my head. “I’m sorry, I am a little nervous. Today’s a big day for me.” I took a
deep breath. If I wanted to clear the air, it was now or never. “And I’m sorry
about last weekend. Things got a bit out of hand.”
Will leaned back against the desk, crossing his ankles.
“No, you’re not the one who should be apologizing. I was out of line, and what
I said wasn’t fair.” He shrugged. “I’m not saying I don’t find your reasoning
frustrating, but if that’s how you really feel, I’ll back off.”
I nodded, finding it hard to meet his eyes. I hated the
idea of him backing off but that was the very thing I’d asked him, no yelled at
him, to do.
“I like you Em. We should be able to be friends. We get
along well.”
I smiled, thinking how right he was. We did get along
well. “Friends would be nice.”
He nodded. “Good, friends it is.”
“Yes, friends who refrain from dancing with each other.”
Will frowned. “We should still be able to dance
together.”
I laughed. “Not the way you dance.” I felt my face go red
just thinking about it. “I’m sorry, I’m just a little embarrassed about…you
know…” my voice trailed off, unable to even consider verbalizing our last
encounter. Innocent phrases like Texas or nightclub or dance floor felt like
they should exist alongside other dirty words in some adults-only dictionary.
Will bent his head to meet my eyes. “If it helps, I
haven’t been able to stop thinking about…you know…” His eyes ran down the
length of my body and back up before widening deviously, and I had to lean
against the desk to stop from sliding to the floor.
This man was going to destroy me and the worst thing was
I was powerless to stop him.
About Kim Carmody
Kim Carmody lives in Australia with her husband, in
a sunny little part of Melbourne that she never wants to leave. Except for
frequent trips to New York, she is happy to leave at least once a year for
those.
She holds a Masters in Commerce Marketing and while she
spent her younger years training to become a professional dancer, she somehow
ended up working in the sports industry, where she met her now husband. Never a participant or spectator of sport
growing up (she was too busy flitting around in a tutu), she has grown to
appreciate, if not love many sports and eventually found herself writing about
them too.
As an avid book lover from the moment she was introduced
to The Babysitters Club as a seven year-old, Kim never expected to be able to
call herself an author, but is beyond excited that she now can.
Lexington and 42nd is her first
novel.
