BLOG TOUR - BOUNTY by KRISTEN ASHLEY + A Rock Chick Fairy ARC Review + Excerpt + Giveaway

It's an honor once again, to be a part of a Blog Tour for my queen, KRISTEN ASHLEY!!!

BOUNTY is definitely one great read.

It's a story about finding one's great love...

and never,

ever

letting it go.

Justice Lonesome has enjoyed a life of bounty. 

Even so, she’s inherited the curse of the Lonesome. A poet’s soul. Which means she’s still searching for something. Searching for peace. Searching for the less…that’s more. 

And when the foundation of her life is pulled out from under her, grieving, she goes to the mountains to find her oasis. She hits Carnal, Colorado and decides to stay. 

Deke Hightower lost everything at the age of two. He lost it again at fifteen. His life has not been about bounty. It’s been about learning to live with less, because there’s no way to get more. 

Deke’s also watched all his friends go down to the women who gave them what they needed. He wants that for himself. But he knows that search isn’t going to be easy because he’s a rider. His home is the road. That’s the only place he can breathe. And the woman who takes her place at his side has to do it sitting on the back of his bike. 

When Deke meets Justice, he knows she’s not that woman. She’s cute. She’s sweet. And she’s into him, but she’s got it all and Deke knows he won’t fit into that. So he holds her at arm’s length. Establishes boundaries. And Justice will take it because she wants Deke any way he’ll let her have him.

But when Justice finds herself a pawn in a dangerous game, Deke makes a decision. 

When he does, he has no idea he’s just opened himself up to bounty.

BLOG TOUR - SEBRING by KRISTEN ASHLEY + A Rock Chick Fairy ARC Review + Excerpt + Giveaway

As a member of the Rock Chick Posse, I am so very proud to present to y'all this book by my queen, Kristen Ashley. I had the privilege of reading it in advanced and I couldn't be more honored.

Sebring brought me to tears.

Olivia touched my heart.

They both made me happy.

I hope they do the same thing to y'all!

~Rock Chick Fairy

Nick Sebring has issues. Born feeling like an outsider in his own family, growing up under the shadow of a brother who could do anything, Nick isn’t that great of a guy. But when this culminates with Nick lashing out to hurt his brother through the woman he loves, Nick turns inward and makes some decisions about the man he intends to be. 

And as he does this, he falls in love and truly learns the man that he’s grown to be. 

When his love is murdered right before Nick’s eyes, Nick knows he has to avenge her. He knows how he’s going to avenge her. And he has no qualms using Olivia Shade to exact that vengeance. 

Olivia Shade has grown up on the outside of her family too. Her problem is that they don’t want her outside. They want her all the way in, right under their thumbs. She pays the price for seeking escape and learns her lesson—she’ll never see a dawn where she wakes up free. 

Then she meets Nick Sebring, and even as she fights it, the hope that died years ago starts to blossom. She can find love. She can have a man of her own. She can be happy. She can be free. 

Olivia hopes while Nick schemes. 

However, as Nick peels back the layers of all that is Olivia Shade, he finds something surprising. He understands its fragility. He falls in love with its beauty. He seeks to protect it. 

But he forgets to protect his Livvie from one thing: Nick Sebring.

RIDE STEADY (Chaos #3) by Kristen Ashley

The ride of her life . . . Once upon a time, Carissa Teodoro believed in happy endings. Money, marriage, motherhood: everything came easy---until she woke up to the ugly truth about her Prince Charming. Now a struggling, single mom and stranded by a flat tire, Carissa's pondering her mistakes when a vaguely familiar knight rides to her rescue on a ton of horsepower.

Climb on and hold tight . . . 
In high school, Carson Steele was a bad boy loner who put Carissa on a pedestal where she stayed far beyond his reach. Today, he's the hard-bodied biker known only as Joker, and from the way Carissa's acting, it's clear she's falling fast. While catching her is irresistible, knowing what to do with her is a different story. A good girl like Carissa is the least likely fit with the Chaos Motorcycle Club. Too bad holding back is so damned hard. Now, as Joker's secrets are revealed and an outside threat endangers the club, Joker must decide whether to ride steady with Carissa---or ride away forever . . .

♛♛ A TREAT FOR THE ROCK CHICKS - WIN AN E-COPY OF DEACON by KRISTEN ASHLEY ON ITS RELEASE DAY!!! ♛♛

Hey everyone! Rock Chick Fairy here.

Today marks the start of my very own "Rock Chick Treats Saga".

I have been using the coined term, "Rock Chick" of one of the best authors in the land of fiction (which is very lucky to have her, really), KRISTEN ASHLEY for about 7 months now. I know it seems like a short time, but it feels a like a lifetime to me already. I wear my fairy name like a badge and I always, always try to live up to the name because God knows there is a certain responsibility when you're a Rock Chick. If you are a K.A. fan, you certainly would appreciate this.  Anyway, back in June, a certain someone replied to my e-mail which made my entire year (I promise!). She was talking about me and the other fairies starting the blog... She told me that since I put my love for books in writing, it's a guaranteed winner. I took that to heart and here we are now. シ

 I've been waiting for a long time to have the chance to share her books more and share my love for her characters more. She's so popular now, but I would still like to do something for her and her books (even if it's in a small scale). Now that the blog is already past that 6 month mark, I think it's time to start. From this month onward, I will host my very own giveaway saga for my beloved author. Every month, I will give away e-books/physical books/gc's in honor of KRISTEN ASHLEY. This is just for the love of reading and from my belief that her books are really worth reading and re-reading (a thousand times).

We shall start with her new book... DEACON!!! I am personally giving away 3 e-copies of this book on its release day (09.23.14)!!!

Deacon has an ugly history, a history that broke him, leaving him a ghost of a man. Out of necessity, he left the normal world to descend into the criminal world and found he fit. So he stayed. Cold as ice and living off the grid, Deacon has no intention to connect, not with anyone.

Then he returns to some remote cabins in the Colorado Mountains and finds they have new owners. One of them is Cassidy Swallow, a young woman willing to work hard to live her quiet dream in a house by a river surrounded by aspen and pine.

Suddenly, Deacon finds he’s at war. Cassidy’s pull for him to connect is strong. He fights it, but he loses, always coming back for more. But when he does, he gives her nothing.

From the first time she sees him, Cassidy knows Deacon is dead inside. She knows he’s the kind of man who could destroy a woman. But one night when Deacon’s control slips, Cassidy takes a chance.

He might break her. He also might be her dream come true.

Hey everyone! Rock Chick Fairy here. Today, I'm giving you another one of my faves from Kristen Ashley. I read this last June of 2013 and it's by far one of the most intense books I've ever read in my entire life. 

I love Lahn and Circe. I hope you will love them too. 

Give this a shot if you haven't already...

Circe Quinn goes to sleep at home and wakes up in a corral filled with women wearing sacrificial virgin attire - and she is one of them. She soon finds out that she’s not having a wild dream, she’s living a frightening nightmare where she’s been transported to a barren land populated by a primitive people and in short order, she’s installed very unwillingly on her white throne of horns as their Queen. Dax Lahn is the king of Suh Tunak, The Horde of the nation of Korwahk and with one look at Circe, he knows she will be his bride and together they will start The Golden Dynasty of legend. Circe and Lahn are separated by language, culture and the small fact she’s from a parallel universe and has no idea how she got there or how to get home. But facing challenge after challenge, Circe finds her footing as Queen of the brutal Korwahk Horde and wife to its King, then she makes friends then she finds herself falling in love with this primitive land, its people and especially their savage leader.

She led a globetrotting lifestyle on the fringes of the fashion and music elite, but she kept herself distant.
