Release Day: Never Let You Fall


               
Never Let You Fall by Michele G. Miller
Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Smashwords
Orphaned at 7, with no memory of her past or the family she lost, 17 year old Skye Martin is tired of being alone and afraid. After a hard night of partying, Skye wakes up alone in an unfamiliar hotel. All she can remember is the deep voice of her rescuer and his promise: “I am safe.”

Xander has been tasked with watching Skye from afar for the past two years, in order to keep her safe from the demons that hunt her. An easy job - until a pair of red glowing eyes reveal themselves to Skye, and Xander, in a moment of weakness, is forced to break his cover to protect her.

Never good at trusting people, Skye is inexplicably drawn to Xander and the immediate bond she feels for him. However, Xander is filled with secrets and ties to her past that threaten to thrust Skye into a world she could never imagine existed…

As she begins to unravel the truth about who Xander is and the details surrounding her family, she discovers that she might just be the key to saving everything... 

And, most importantly, she finds that there has always been someone by her side who would never let her fall…




A special Excerpt just for you...

“What do you feel?  Anything strange?” 

She flung her hands up in the air as she answered me. “Yes, I feel something strange!  This whole thing is strange!” 

Placing my finger on her lips, I shook my head in frustration.  “Skye, what do you feel here?” I asked again, pointing to her chest.  “How do you feel?” 

She stood for a moment with her lips lightly pressed to my finger, slowly closing and reopening her eyes.  There was a sheen to them that spoke of unshed tears, and as she raised her hand to pull mine away from her mouth, I saw her fingers tremble when  she whispered, “I can’t deal with this, Xander.” 

“Yes, Skye - you can and you will,” I warned her.  “This is going to happen whether you want it to or not.  I told you that I’m safe, and I…” 

Skye broke into hysterical laughter at that.  “Safe?  You’re telling me that a legion of demons is after me and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.   How in your book does that equal safe?”

“You don’t know me, Skye, and you don’t know Rioden and… what we can do.  I told you that I would protect you, and I will.” 

Shaking her head, she took a small step back and admitted, “You’re right about one thing, Xander,” as she wiped a tear from her face.  “I don’t know you, so how can I trust you?  No matter how you make me feel.  Please just leave me alone.”  She spun on her heel and sprinted away, leaving me to stare after her.


About the Author


 Having grown up in both the cold, quiet town of Topsham, Maine and the steamy, southern hospitality of Mobile, Alabama, Michele is something of a enigma.  She is an avid Yankees fan, loves New England, being outdoors and misses snow.  However she thinks southern boys are hotter, Alabama football is the only REAL football out there and sweet tea is the best thing this side of heaven and her children’s laughter! 

Her family, a doting husband and three awesome  minions  have planted their roots in the middle of Michele’s two childhood homes in Charlotte, North Carolina. 

Never Let You Fall is Michele’s first novel and she is beyond thrilled to have finally followed up on a dream she has held for over 20 years!  God willing there will be many many more books to follow.

The Modified Release Day Blitz


It's The Modified's RELEASE DAY!!!! *throws confetti*
I'm super excited because now all of you get to read it and let me just say I finished this yesterday and it was AWESOME (but more of that later)!!!! 
Today, I have for you the blurb, buy links, review, little excerpts, AND the release day GIVEAWAY!


The Modified by C.A. Kunz
Goodreads | Barnes & Noble | Amazon | Smashwords

What would you sacrifice to save the one’s you love? To save the one who holds your heart? To save the world?

Kenley Grayson is all too familiar with these questions.

After Earth is thrust into its first intergalactic war with an unknown race called the Bringers, our military forces begin to suffer heavy losses. Desperate for a solution, the Allied Federation issues a worldwide draft for every able seventeen year old to enlist. As Kenley turns seventeen, she finds herself thrown into the very war that took her older brother’s life.

This year’s draft is a little different than in the past though. A new program, known as the Magnus Project, has been introduced, and only the best and brightest qualify. Kenley is amongst a select few whom are chosen to join this elite group of soldiers, and as a part of this project, undergoes a modification procedure that leaves her and her peers endowed with powers beyond their wildest dreams.

As Earth continues in its struggle against the Bringers, Kenley is transported to a high-tech training facility, the Magnus Academy, to prepare for the major battle that lies ahead. It’s here that she meets the California heartthrob, and son of a legendary war hero, Landon Shaw. As unexpected feelings toward Landon begin to develop, Kenley wonders if this is the right time or place for romance to bloom, especially when those feelings start to interfere with her training.

With the weight of the world on her shoulders, Kenley is constantly reminded of how important she and the rest of the Magnus cadets are to the fate of humanity. She is one of the Modified, Earth’s last line of defense against utter destruction.
Review
I love, love, love C.A. Kunz and everything that is them so when I heard about The Modified I was SUPER excited because it just sounded like my kind of book.  The Modified exceeded any kind of expectations I had for it!  I really, really, truly loved it!  

Even though the romance was a part of why I liked it (because it always is), The Modified had so much more to offer.  My favorite thing was the world development.  The way this dystopian world was described I was able to completely submerge myself in it.  I love books that I can completely get lost in and this was definitely one of them.  I also thought the unfolding of information and mystery was done perfectly.  It kept my attention the whole time and I was never able to completely anticipate what was around the corner!  

Landon....must I say more than his name?  It alone is swoon worthy.  :D Okay just kidding I will tell you why you should swoon at the mention of his name.  Well first of all he is one of the sweetest book boyfriends I've ever had.  He is just perfect for Kenley.  They find each other in such tragedy where happiness shouldn't be a possibility, but now they have the happiness because they have someone to lean on.  Now for some quotes from the book so you can swoon a little too.
"my gaze fixes on a single guy. My heart skips a beat. He’s unlike any guy I’ve ever seen. I mean, there have been guys I’ve had crushes on back home, but there’s something so different about him. His sun-kissed skin and beautiful chestnut brown hair takes my breath away. I never thought I’d feel this way, especially not while in my current situation." (page 42)   
"Our eyes meet and he mouths good morning. I mouth it back to him and smile shyly. Could he get any cuter? I mean, seriously. He has to have some major flaw, I tell myself." (page 91)
 Okay so we now that you have gotten a taste of Landon, I thought I would talk a little bit about the supporting characters that I absolutely love.  I know I've said this before, but one of my favorite things about C.A. Kunz's writing in general is the complexity of the supporting characters.  I always fall in love with them almost as much as I do the main characters.  Joey, Sam, and Gailieo were my favorites in this book.  Joey has been with Kenley all her life and he is basically family.  Their relationship is very meaningful and I loved watching their support for each other as they became soldiers.  Sam is that sassy girl that everyone can't help to fall in love with.  She says what's on her mind and most of the time it's freakin' hilarious.  And Galileo...well he isn't exactly human but he grows as a character so much and is Kenley's support when she is alone.  Here are some quotes to give you a little taste of Joey and Sam.
“Just so you know, if we die...I’m going to be really pissed at you,” Joey whispers. (page 15) 
“Uh-oh, boy trouble three o’clock,” Sam whispers at me jokingly from across the table. “Shut up,” I reply playfully. “It’s not like that.” She laughs. “Okay, Grayson. Whatever you say.” (page 71) ~Sam
If you're ready to get completely lost in a world that you'll fall in love with, The Modified is for you.  Any dystopian, sci-fi, romance lover should read The Modified because I'm sure it will rock your socks off like it did mine!

My Favorite Mistake Release Day: Character Interview & GIVEAWAY

TODAY is the release day of My Favorite Mistake!!!! Now let me tell you why this is important...BECAUSE this is seriously one of my FAVORITE books of 2012!
When I got an ARC of this book, I devoured it! I literally did not sleep a minute the night I read it, and I didn't even care because I had Hunter Zaccadelli on the brain!  
I love this book and just couldn't wait to share it with you!  I'm part of the SupaGurlTour for this book so I will post my review then but I have something EXTRA special for you today!
A Character interview with Hunter and Taylor!!!! This was extremely fun for me and I hope you enjoy and go buy the book!  I know you won't be disappointed!

My Favorite Mistake by Chelsea Cameron
Add it on Goodreads 
Taylor Caldwell can't decide if she wants to kiss her new college roommate or punch him.

On the one hand, Hunter Zaccadelli is a handsome, blue-eyed bundle of charm. On the other, he's a tattooed, guitar-playing bundle of bad boy. Maybe that's why Taylor's afraid of falling in love with him, or anyone else. She doesn't want to get burned, and even though her other roommates adore him, she wants him gone before it's too late.

Hunter himself has been been burned before, but the fact that Taylor calls him out on his crap and has the sexiest laugh ever make him decide maybe love isn't a lost cause. They make a bet: if she can convince him she truly loves or hates him, he'll leave the apartment--and leave her alone. The problem is, the more time they spend together, the less she hates him, and the more she moves toward love.

But when the man who holds the key to Taylor's fear of giving up her heart resurfaces and threatens to wreck everything, she has to decide: trust Hunter with her greatest secret, or do everything in her power to win that bet and drive him away forever.
and now for the Character Interview...enjoy


Welcome Hunter and Taylor!!! Thank you so much for coming for the interview!

So…how are we feeling about each other today?

Taylor: Well if someone would stop trying to get in my pants, that would be great.

Hunter: If someone would just get in my pants then we wouldn't have this problem. I'm telling you Missy, it's very simple.
Taylor: *grits teeth* Stop calling me Missy. It's not my name.
Hunter: *grins* It is now.
What was your first impression of each other?
Taylor: Jerk.
Hunter: Gorgeous.
Taylor: Asshat.
Hunter: Sexy.
Taylor: Douche.
Hunter: Complicated.
Taylor: Ditto.
Hunter, what is your favorite way to piss Taylor off?
Hunter: Let me count the ways... Well, she hates it that I call her Missy, for one. She hates it when I look at her like this. *stares*
Taylor: Stop that.
Hunter: See? I sleep naked, she hates that, but not really. She only pretends to hate it.
Taylor: *huffs* Whatever, dude.
Hunter: I stare at her ass a lot. She also hates that. I can't really do that right now, which is a damn shame.
So Hunter why this bet? Can you explain why you wanted her to love or hate you?
Hunter: Hate and love are two inextricably linked emotions. You can never hate anyone as much as someone you love. They're both powerful emotions and I think they're more similar than anyone realizes. I wouldn't want to live with someone I really hated, if she really did hate me. I'm not that much of an ass.
Taylor: Yes, you are.
Hunter: And if she loved me, well, that would be her misfortune, and to put her through the torture of living with me wouldn't be fair.
Taylor: That doesn't make any sense.
Hunter: I never said it did.
Taylor, what was your plan to win the bet?
Taylor: Oh, I have a plan. I'm not going to share it in front of him, though.
Hunter: She's full of it. She doesn't have any plan. See how she's doing that thing with her hair? That means she's lying.
Taylor: Shut up.
What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever done?
Hunter: I don't get embarrased.
Taylor: It's true. He has no shame. For me it would probably be the time I had to memorize a line of Shakespeare to recite at this stupid festival thing my school did and in front of the entire school I forgot the whole thing. I wanted to die.
Hunter: Oh come on. You sure it wasn't when I caught you rocking out to Maroon 5 last week and dancing?
Taylor: *rolls eyes* That was not embarrasing.
Hunter: Then why was your face so red?
Taylor: Next question.
What is the best comeback you have ever given?
Hunter: Whenever Taylor says, ah, "duck you." Only she replaces the d with an f. I always tell her that she'd like to, you know, "duck" me. I love seeing the look on her face.
Taylor: Is it like this look? The one I'm giving you right now?
Hunter: Yeah, pretty much. What about you?
Taylor: My fist in his face and my knee in his balls.
Hunter: Yeah, that was pretty good. *rubs jaw* I think I'm going to be feeling that one for a while in more than one place.
So…today Chelsea is sharing your story with the world! How do you feel about that? :D
Hunter: Finally. I should be shared with the world.
Taylor: Seriously, she should have kept at least this one *jabs finger at Hunter* to herself. Why couldn't I have been in a story about self-discovery or something like that? Something with no romance in it. Or why couldn't I have gotten a vampire?
Hunter: I could be your vampire, baby. *goes for Taylor's neck*
Taylor: *squeals and ducks behind chair*
Hunter: I vant to be your lahver.
Taylor: I swear to God, if you come near me, I will stake you in your sleep.
Hunter: I'd be too fast for you. *lunges again*
Taylor: *dodges* Bite me.
Hunter: That's vaht I'm trying to do.
Taylor: See? You see what I have to put up with?
Hunter: Pfft. You love me.
Taylor: Not a chance.
