Mine For Now - Erica Kelly - Blog Tour

From the award-winning author of the Rock Star Romance books comes a sizzling new series about the O’Donnell siblings. The pull of wild love is irresistible.







She’s had enough drama in her life.

Nicole O’Donnell is more than ready for the fresh start college offers. After a lifetime of trying to help her alcoholic mom and ex-boyfriend get sober, she’s finally learned her lesson: people don’t change. They certainly don’t change for her.

He can never leave his drama behind.

Thanks to his mom’s substance abuse issues, Dylan McCaffrey’s persona non grata in his hometown of Gun Powder, Colorado. So when he scores a free ride to the top university in the country, he’s determined to make something of this fresh start. But his mom has always relied on him, and she’s not handling his absence well at all. If he can just keep up his grades, pay her bills, and come home every break, he might be able to pull off this opportunity.

True love won’t be denied.

No matter how determined they are to steer clear of each other, their combustible connection explodes, especially when Nicole offers Dylan the one thing he can’t bear—hope. Once he has a taste of it—and the irresistible force of her—there’s no going back.

But when he falls too deeply, when he loses sight of his priorities, he might just lose it all.

4 Stars

Mine for Now, is the first book in the Wild Love series and it was my first time reading any of Erika Kelly's work.  The story is a college romance that centers around the characters of Nicole and Dylan.  This book takes you on quite a roller coaster of emotional highs and lows. 

Nicole's character is incredibly like-able, intriguing and endearing.  She's an incredibly strong character, very individual, a little bit quirky and quite tenacious, with a huge heart.   Nicole is a character who does what she thinks is right, and does't let anyone's opinion sway her behavior or opinions, it's one of the facets of her character that I really loved.   She has an interesting relationship with her family and I loved watching it evolve as the book progressed. 

Dylan on the other hand, is an incredibly flawed character that frustrated the hell out of me, I found so many of his behaviors to be annoying.  Although his character did grow on me and, I found myself pulling for him, hoping he would see past the manipulations, machinations and guilt his mother threw at him. Dylan is a caregiver, he's incredibly loyal, and committed to his family.  Old habits are very hard for Dylan to break. as more of his life and family situation was shared throughout the story I really felt for him and his situation.  He was made to grow up way too soon to survive the toxic situation he grew up with.

Although Dylan and Nicole share a connection and chemistry, Dylan often leads her one but also tries to keep her at arms length.  They are inexplicably drawn to each other, both damaged by their pasts and have way more in common than just sharing a living space.  

I loved some of the side characters in this book in particular James, Nicole and Dylan's flamboyant and loyal friend and roommate and Nicole's family.  I couldn't stand Kelsi or Dylan's mother, such  manipulative and self serving women. 

Overall this is a well written book that focuses on love, loyalty, trust, friendship and family.  A really enjoyable story about finding yourself and seeing that you aren't defined by situation or circumstances.  I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

THE BACHELOR AUCTION COVER.jpg



Cinderella never had to deal with this crap.


Jane isn't entirely sure that Cinderella got such a raw deal. Sure, she had a rough start, but didn't she eventually land a prince and a happily-ever-after? Meanwhile, Jane is busy waiting on her demanding, entitled sisters, running her cleaning business, and . . . yep, not a prince in sight. Until a party and a broken shoe incident leave Jane wondering if princes---or at least, a certain deliciously hunky billionaire---maybe do exist.


Except Brock Wellington isn't anyone's dream guy. Hell, a prince would never agree to be auctioned off in marriage to the highest bidder. Or act like an arrogant jerk---even if it was just a façade. Now, as Brock is waiting for the auction chopping block, he figures it's karmic retribution that he's tempted by a sexy, sassy woman he can't have. But while they can't have a fairy-tale ending, maybe they can indulge in a little bit of fantasy . . .




To celebrate this AMAZING release, Rachel would like to offer ONE LUCKY WINNER an Epic Prize!

Sergio Spiraling - S.M. Donaldson - Release Blitz


Title: Sergio Spiraling
Series: Marco's MMA Boys #5.5
Author: S.M. Donaldson
Genre: Adult Romance (Military/Sports)
Release Date: September 30, 2016



Spiraling- A fast declining mental or emotional state.

Army Sniper Sergio Nichols knows what it’s like to be on top of the world. He’s had the greatest days of his life, until he has the worst day of his life. How do you start all over? How do you learn to live again? How do you find that same fiery passion? They say there are five stages of grief, but it sure feels like a hell of a lot more.

Fight- A battle or combat.

He knows this all too well, he’s fought insurgents for over eight years now, he’s battled his mental state, now to make money doing it physically …











S.M. Donaldson is a born and raised Southern girl. She grew up in a small rural town on Florida’s Gulf Coast, the kind of place where everyone knows your business before you do, especially when your Daddy is a cop and your Mom works for the school system. She married one of her best friends at the age of 20 and has one son. She is a proud military wife, has always had a soft spot for a good story, and is known to have a potty mouth. At the age of 31, she decided there was no time like the present to attempt her first book. Sam’s Choice was born and she hasn’t stopped since. If you are looking for a good, steamy, Southern set romance with true Southern dialect, she’s your girl.
