Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases we're eagerly anticipating. In my case not so patiently waiting for the new releases, which I lack.

This one sounds amazing I can't wait to get my hands on it. 

My Choice this week is

Wolf Girl

by - Leia Stone 

Expected Publication - December 27th 2020

Add to  (Goodreads) 

When my parents were banished from Wolf City before I was born, I thought there was no way I would ever live in a pack again. Cuffed, with my shifter magic bound, I was forced to go to school with witches in order to keep my true nature from coming out.

Then I met him.

Sawyer Hudson.

The Alpha's son was visiting Delphi Witches' College and spotted me. He took one look at me, and an hour later, I was being pulled out of school, taken into Wolf City and leaving my parents and everything I knew behind.

It's the Alpha's son's selection year, the year he must pick a mate, and every female aged 18-22 must be in attendance.

I've landed myself in the middle of Werewolf Bachelor, and just when I think I've got a handle on things, Sawyer releases my cuffs, unbinds my magic, and sees what I really am.

The problem is, I don't know what this creature is that I transform into. It's not an ordinary werewolf, that's for damn sure. 

What are you waiting on?

Ariah

Men were the furthest thing from my mind when I arrived in Forest Falls. In my experience all they had to offer was pain, and I had enough of that in my past, I didn’t want it in my new life as well.

But when I met my new roommate, Braxton, all my carefully laid plans went out the window, and I found myself falling hard for the resident bad boy.

When the horrors of my past collide with the life I’m trying to build, can I trust Braxton with my heart and the secrets I hold close to it? 

Braxton

Any illusions of Happily Ever After died the same night my high school sweetheart took her last breath. I didn’t deserve a second chance at that kind of happiness, and ever since I had lived for my three favourite things.

Hockey. Women. Alcohol.

At least until I met my Possum. Ariah took my breath away from the moment she stepped out of Charlotte’s car, and straight into my heart.

But Ariah has horrors in her past that I knew I couldn’t comprehend.

Can I be the guy she deserves? Or will I lose her just like I’ve lost everyone else I loved?

COVER REVEAL - Captured by S. Nelson

Title: Captured

An Everyday Heroes World Novel

Author: S. Nelson

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Cover Design: Tugboat Design

Release Date: January 28, 2021

BLURB

To say I survived the unimaginable isn’t exactly accurate, because I didn’t. 

I’m alive. 

But I’m not living. 

I’m existing, clawing my way from one day to the next. 

My only saving grace is my job as a police officer, and it’s during a routine traffic stop one evening when the threads of my isolated existence begin to unravel. 

One glance from Quinn Harris and I feel like I’m dreaming. And the more chance brings us together, the more I’m powerless to stop the uneasy feeling that I’m losing control. 

She stirs up thoughts of something new and unexpected—of a life I’m no longer prepared to handle. 

*** 

I’m done with men. 

I trusted my ex and he broke my heart. 

But life doesn’t seem to want to follow my plan, which is evident the moment I meet Nolan Bennett. 

He doesn’t score high on first impressions. In fact, he is downright rude. 

But as we continue to run into each other, I start to see another side of him, and I can’t deny I’m intrigued. 

Against my better judgment, I give him a chance. 

But again, life will step in and take over. 

Only this time I don’t think either of us will survive. Not with an unknown link between us too painful to overcome.

EXCERPT

Beautiful weather used to enhance my good moods in the past, but seeing the sun shining brightly, high in the sky, and feeling the warm breeze on the side of my face as I drove only seemed to aggravate me. On the days when it was dark and gloomy, I felt harmony because my surroundings were reflective of the turmoil I constantly battled. I was more at peace when the world appeared desolate. 

When I finally arrived at the address, I took a moment before I exited my cruiser, calling on whatever hierarchy there was in the universe to give me the strength to complete my task. It’d gotten easier over time to deal with the public, but I still struggled with the interactions, although no one ever detected such a thing. Most just categorized me as an asshole, and I was fine with the assessment. 

Opening my door, I slid out of my seat and adjusted my duty belt as I rounded the back of the vehicle, flipping on my shades to shield my eyes from the blinding sun. Up ahead, I saw a woman standing in the archway of the complex. If she was aware of my presence, she didn’t show it, so I took the time to assess her, as I did everyone I came into contact with. 

She was thin, approximately five-six with long dark hair. She wore a black skirt, white top, and black heels. On her left wrist was a silver banded watch. She carried what looked to be a laptop case on her right shoulder. The closer I approached, the more I was able to see more of her, but it wasn’t until she turned to face me that I realized I’d seen her before. 

The prior evening, in fact. 

Standing near her now, in the light of day, in a drastically different scenario, a pang of remorse washed over me. To say feeling bad was an oddity for me was an understatement. I hardly ever gave people a second thought, let alone harbored any sense of guilt about my interactions. 

There was a chance she wouldn’t recognize me as the same officer who pulled her over last night. If that was the case, then I would remain as quiet as possible and get this over with quickly so I could get back to dealing with the rest of my day. 

Any hope I had that she viewed me as a complete stranger died when her eyes narrowed into slits and the corners of her mouth turned down. 

“This is just great,” she mumbled loud enough for me to hear, and I didn’t know if it was her tone or the blatant look of disgust on her face from having to stand near me, but a part of me that had been dormant for as long as I could remember flicked back to life during the unpleasant interaction. 

The moment was fleeting, but I held on to it for as long as possible before it faded into obscurity. The snarkiness in her voice pricked my senses. Everyone else I encountered either left me alone completely or engaged me briefly, their tones restrained and cautious, most likely because of my body language: that and the constant scowl on my face. 

But the woman standing ten feet from me piqued my curiosity, all while she treated me with an iota of disdain. 

Now, if she’d only stop glaring at me, I could attempt to make amends for last night.

A smart and sexy romance about a grumpy single dad on a mission of revenge, and the girl he can’t leave behind by USA Today bestselling author Tia Louise. 

Hope 

I blame the alcohol. 

I lost my restaurant business, was forced to sell my dad’s cherished 1967 Chevy Impala, and I got a little drunk. 

Now I’m waking up with the hottest, angriest guy I’ve ever seen, speeding down the highway like a bat out of hell. 

Ice-blue eyes hit mine with stomach-clenching force… and he swerves onto the shoulder, ready to kick me out. 

Needless to say, our romance doesn’t start out sweet. 

J.R. 

Two years ago, I hugged my little boy goodbye and told him I’d be right back. 

Next thing I knew, I was arrested and sent to prison for a crime I didn’t commit. 

Until they let me out early… 

Now I’m headed home to confront the man who put me away. 

A lie put me behind bars, and I’m ready to find the truth. 

I don’t have time for a sexy girl with pale blonde hair and bright blue eyes stowed away on the backseat of my new car. 

My mission is to get my son back and clear my name. 

Love is not on the agenda. 

It never is, though, is it? 

(THIS MUCH IS TRUE is a single-dad, opposites attract, STAND-ALONE romance. No cheating. No cliffhangers.)

EXCERPT

I make my way out the back just in time to see my wife shooting a fucking Russian bastard. Why the hell has she got a gun in her hands? My rage starts to surface again, she’s already been hurt and now she’s just killed a man. Fuck. 

“Kenna.” Her name is a growl from my lips. 

Her back stiffens and she turns to glare at me, “You here to help?” Her Irish accent is thicker than I’ve heard it before. 

My cock starts to stir again, her defiance shouldn’t be a turn on, but it is. “Sure,” I drawl and see her lips turn up before she quells her features. 

“There’s six out front,” she tells me. “Fucking Finn told me to stay here while he took the men with him. Arsehole.” She shakes her head. “Fuck knows where they’ve gone. Thankfully, Romero isn’t stupid and had a gun.” 

“Where did you get that one?” I ask her and I’m surprised I’m able to keep my tone even. 

She raises her brow and shakes her head. “When Romero put a bullet into arsehole number one,” she points to the dead body on the floor beside her, “I picked his gun up and used it on arsehole number two and three. Now, I’ve answered your question and as you can see I’m not going to have a meltdown because I killed someone; wasn’t the first time and certainly won’t be the last. How about we cut the chit chat and get to the car before your brother bleeds to death?” 

I bite back my chuckle, whereas Romero and Alessio don’t. Fuck, I should hate that she’s not the quiet, shy woman I had expected but I’m not, I’m glad. I don’t want a docile wife, I want someone who’s full of life and looking at Kenna that’s what I’ve got. “Let’s go.” 

“Atta boy.” Kenna laughs and I shake my head, fuck, how can I want to laugh during a moment like this? “The black Rolls, that’s where we’re heading. Try not to get shot,” she tells me. 

“Don’t worry, princess, I’ll be fine.” 

She smirks at me, “Good, you have your husband duties to take care of tonight.” 

Jesus! My cock twitches at the thought of being inside of her. “Oh, princess, nothing, and I mean nothing will stop me from fucking you tonight.” 

Her pupils dilate, then she shakes her head and runs out the back door, firing her gun as she does. 

“I’m going to kill her,” I grunt as I follow behind her.

Connor Clash was everything I wasn't. 

He taught me how to live.

I didn't mean for things to go the way they did. 

But Connor was beautiful, and I was lonely.

Falling in love wasn't part of the plan. 

He betrayed me, and I was scarred.

Before I got the job, I didn't know who he was. 

Now I saw him every night in my dreams.

We were two people, worlds apart, holding each other at arms length.

This was not going to end well.

Connor Clash was an asshole. 

And I loved him with all of my heart.

EXCERPT

I put my duffle on the bunk and moved to jump on in. That was when Connor appeared out of nowhere. “That’s my cubby.” 

Sure. Of course, it was. 

“Oh, sorry.” I slid out, taking my bag with me. 

I then peered into the cubby directly behind it but Connor made a noise, lightly shaking his head. My brow lowered but my question was softly spoken. “That’s also yours?” 

He folded his arms across his chest which somehow made his muscular arms look all the more muscular. When he smiled at me, the tattoo on his cheekbone lifted and I almost choked on my tongue. “Okay, then,” I whispered and moved to the back of the line, dropping my bag onto the very last bed in that row. 

I shouldn’t have been surprised when Connor snatched up my bag. “That one’s mine.” 

What? 

How many beds did one man need? 

Don’t get mad. He’s a rock star. He has more stuff than you and probably needs the space. 

“Right,” I muttered, my lips thinner than they’d ever been in my entire life. When I heard his snigger, I peered up at him but his face was completely neutral. 

I tried the left side, taking my bag from Connor’s hand and putting it on the middle lower bunk just beneath Hell. 

My insides shriveled when he opened his mouth. “That’s mine.” 

For the love of God. 

I turned to him and huffed out a breath. “Are you messing with me?” 

His reply was honest. “Yes.” And when he bit the tip of his tongue, my insides did a funny little shimmy. 

I let out an annoyed sigh that immediately transformed into an embarrassed laugh. 

He was messing with me.

AUTHOR BIO

Belle Aurora is thirty-something year old and was born in the land down under.

Having been brought up in a loud and boisterous family of Croatian descent, she developed a natural love for dramatics and laughter. Only some years ago had she discovered a new love. 

Humorous romance novels.

Belle never thought she would write. It had never interested her until recently. Friend-Zoned began to form and in February this year Belle typed the words Chapter One. And she fell in love.

With words.

With writing.

With a creative imagination she never knew she harbored.
