Blog Tour: Seaside Sunsets by Melissa Foster





After a week of flu induced silence, I'm so thrilled to break it with today's tour stop for Melissa Foster's Seaside Sunsets! If that sounds a bit like deja vu, it's because the last time I had to take a week off, it was because of the flu and then I followed up with a different Melissa Foster tour book! Seaside Sunsets is the third book in the Seaside Dreams series. I knew from Flirting with Love that I could expect good things from Foster, and Seaside Sunsets absolutely satisfied me!

Then Monday I will be hosting a stop on Melissa Foster's Seaside Sunsets tour, which I'm excited about. I have some paranormal romances lined up for the rest of the week, and one historical romance, so it should be a packed week!

COVER REVEAL: The Frenchman by Lesley Young

I love covers. I have a hard time resisting a book with a good cover. A good cover tells me a story right away, gives me a hook, makes me wonder - hey, what's going on with that there? It promises me something - usually about the book's genre, and occasionally about the quality of the book therein.

That makes it extra fun for me to participate in cover reveals! Certainly, it helps pad my wishlist.

Today's cover reveal is for Lesley Young's The Frenchman. This is romance between a woman and a powerful and criminal hero. It also sounds like the beginning of a very promising romance series!


Check out the blurb:


Fleur Smithers rarely veers off the straight and (excruciatingly) narrow. So moving to the seaport town of Toulon to live with her newfound biological mother—an inspector with the French National Police—for one year is a pretty major detour.
Son of France’s crime royalty family and international rugby star, Louis Messette, is devoted to his sport, famille and nothing else. But the saucy American he meets one night changes everything. She sparks a desire in him like no other. Possession takes root. She will do as he commands.
Bit by bit Fleur slips into the Frenchman’s realm of wanton pleasure agreeing to his one condition: that she keep their affair secret. She serves up her heart without reservation in the hub of the glittering Côte d’Azur, and the along the soulful Seine in Paris, unaware of the danger she is in. For her new lover’s “family business” will pit her against her mother, the police woman sworn to bring down the Messettes. And by then, far more than Fleur’s heart will be on the line.
Now for a drum roll please! Here's the gorgeous cover:

Blog Tour: The Duke's Guide to Correct Behavior by Megan Frampton




I'm thrilled to present Megan Frampton's The Duke's Guide to Correct  Behavior. This historical romance really got under my skin with its sensuality and sense of humour. It's the first book in the Dukes Behaving Badly series, and I suspect I'll be be back for the second. This one was released on November 25th by Avon. Check out more information about the book, an excerpt, my review, an author bio and a giveaway below!
