#BookonTour #AHomeforUnlovedOrphans #RachelWesson #Bookouture #NetGalley

Virginia, 1933: Her heart broke as she took in the scene before her. There were too many orphans and not enough beds. The rags they wore barely covered them and they hadn’t eaten in days. How could anyone let innocent children live like this? She picked up a tiny girl who’d cried as she moved past her cot. “I’ll be back soon, little one.”

 

Never in a million years did Lauren Greenwood think she would be destitute and without a penny to her name. But when her father mercilessly disowns her in the depths of winter, that is her fate. Now homeless, Lauren finds America in the devastating grip of the Great Depression––children run wild in the icy streets, endless queues for soup kitchens line frosty sidewalks, and desperation hangs in the air.

Excerpt

I climbed off my bed and moved to the door, pressing my ear to it to hear who he was talking to. “A shadow under the door is a dead giveaway that you’re in there,” a deep voice said. I looked down at the shadow caused by my feet. Ah hell. I opened the door and my breath caught in my throat. The guy from the bar was standing in the hallway with Marco. “What are you doing here?” I asked. He looked at me with those teal eyes but showed no sign of recognition from our run-in outside the men’s room. “Excuse me?” “We met last night.” His bottom lip jutted out like he had no idea what I was talking about. Seriously? He was gonna pretend he didn’t know me and hadn’t insulted me? Well, if that’s how he was gonna play it, so was I. “Now that you mention it…” My eyes moved over his black cargo pants and black T-shirt molded to his broad chest. “The guy I met last night was a lot better looking.” I drank in his dirty blond hair which was more tousled than it had been at the bar, like he’d just woken up. “And, he was taller. And a lot more built.” “This is my partner, ma’am,” Marco explained. I glared at Marco. “Kresley.” Unaffected by my annoyance with his use of ma’am, he continued. “This is Tristan Stone. He’ll be with you when I’m not. We take turns securing locations before you arrive.” He looked to Tristan and leveled him with his eyes. “Like he did last night at the bar.” I turned my glare to Tristan. Asshole. He stared back at me, unfazed and not about to apologize for being deceptive. “We were just discussing the week ahead,” Marco explained to me. “Oh, great. I have a request.” My eyes moved between them. Tristan was younger and less bulky than Marco, but no less athletic—even though I tried to make him feel less than. “Could you maybe try to look more like college students? The dark clothes make you stand out and, frankly, I don’t want to be known as ‘the girl with the bodyguards’.” “You are the girl with the bodyguards,” Tristan clipped. I cocked my head. “It’s a request.” “Requests don’t have to be granted,” he fired back. I opened my mouth to respond— “We’ll do what we can,” Marco interrupted, clearly the calmer of the two. “As long as our weapons are concealed, I don’t see why we can’t try to blend in a little more.” He turned around and walked to his room without another word. I expected Tristan to follow him, but he didn’t. Perfect. “Let’s just get this out of the way now then,” I said to Tristan as Marco’s door closed. “I don’t know what your problem is with me—” He scoffed. Scoffed. I trudged on, getting more pissed by the second. “You work for me. A little common courtesy is not too much to ask.” He rolled his eyes. God dammit. “If I can’t trust you to protect me if things go wrong, my parents can find someone else who can.” His eyes narrowed. “What the hell does that mean?” “This whole not knowing me thing after you blatantly disrespected me last night. Maybe I didn’t know who you were at the bar, but you knew who I was. So, what gives?” “Girls like you are what gives.” My head shot back so fast I was surprised it didn’t slam into the door behind me. “Excuse me?” “You were almost taken in France.” “Thanks for the recap. But I know what happened.” He shook his head, his teeth clenched and jaw ticking. “You’re careless.” I pointed to myself. “I’m careless? I’ve got two bodyguards for Christ’s sake.” “You get one life to live. Think about how you want to live it.” “Wow. So, now you’re a philosopher?” “It’s no secret there are people out there who still may want to get to you.” “Yes. And that’s why you’re here.” “So, why the bar? Was it absolutely necessary to go out last night?” he asked. “What I do is none of your business.” “The hell it isn’t. I had to be there an hour and a half early—with added security—securing the place, not to mention overseeing every fucker they let in there.” I hated that I was being reprimanded. I’d only wanted to make friends and find a way to sleep. But maybe he was right. Maybe I should’ve considered how it would affect them. Maybe I should’ve considered the work they needed to put in every time I went somewhere. “I could have been someone trying to get to you,” he continued. “But you were standing there all drunk gazing at me like you would’ve gone home with me if only I asked.” My mouth parted, too stunned by his words to respond. “And then that ridiculous necklace you wore. It must be worth tens of thousands of dollars. Way to stay off people’s radars.” “I’ve been through enough counseling to know what happened to me was not my fault.” “The thing was like a damn beacon signaling that you’ve got money.” “Fuck you,” I spat, unsure what had come over me. I’d always been taught to remain proper and composed, even in the most difficult situations. His features remained stoic, totally unaffected by my words. “Not a chance.”

All we wanted was each other…

But I Need You, the second installment in the all-consuming This Love Hurts trilogy by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Willow Winters is available now!

Some love stories are a slow burn. Others are quick to ignite, scorching and branding your very soul before you’ve taken that first breath. You’re never given a chance to run from it.
That’s how I’d describe what happened to us.

Everything around me blurred and all that existed were his lips, his touch…
The chase and the heat between us became addictive.
Our nights together were a distraction, one we craved to the point of letting the world crumble around us.
We should have paid more attention; we should have known that it would come to this.
We both knew it couldn’t last, but that didn’t change what we desired most.

All we wanted was each other…

Andy Slinger

 

 

The novel begins when Ryan and Jake, identical twins aged 13 are being transported to their Dad’s house by their Grandmother after the death of their mother. Understandably they are grief stricken as their world has been turned upside-down. To compound matters in a freak accident a Meteorite lands in their garden destroying part of the house in the process. Jake wakes up in hospital after a few weeks later to find out he nearly died, and their house is still under investigation. Dad arrives at hospital with three police officers who sneak them out and to their new temporary accommodation.

 

The twins soon discover that the accident has given them special powers. Ryan (the intelligent twin) has developed super intelligence and telekinesis whilst Jake (the sporty twin)gains super strength and speed. They decide to keep their identities secret and use their powers for good. They build a lair, weapons, gadgets, costumes and name themselves the Super Twins. 

 

Meanwhile there has been a huge crime spree in the sleepy town of Trincaster, which has gotout of control and the police can’t handle it. The boys connect this to the meteor landing and go to spy on Dad’s cordoned off house from a distance. They decide to try and extract information from a patrolling guard but instead of capturing him for questioning Jake doesn’t realise his own strength and knocks him out. They search the guard, find a piece of meteor in his pocket and a suspicious spiral tattoo on his neck.

#BookBlitz #KeepWalking #RhonaBeech #KateTough #XpressoTours

 

Keep Walking, Rhona Beech
Kate Tough
Publication date: April 4th 2019
Genres: Women’s Fiction

Incredibly insightful, funny and poignant’ Helen Sedgwick
‘A warm and ferociously witty story. Truth rings from every page of this assured, engrossing debut’ Zoe Strachan

When Rhona’s story comes to an end you will miss her. Her candid, raw, messy journey will make you laugh, cry and remember. Not a typical break-up book, it’s much more profound. Nothing has turned out quite how Rhona imagined: she’s been casually swapping one job for another while getting comfy in a long relationship which ends abruptly, and her efforts to adjust to that change are thrown by some unwelcome news…

Flawed, relatable Rhona Beech narrates this beautifully written, pacey satire about female friendship, heartbreak, career change, conceiving and illness, which will appeal to fans of Fleabag. Join her on a laugh (and cry) out loud search for meaning amongst the bars, offices and clinics of Glasgow.

Will her friendships survive the changes and challenges? Will SHE survive? At once funny and tender, Keep Walking, Rhona Beech is a clear-sighted look at a generation of women that was told they could have it all.
