Hop Against Homophobia And Transphobia 2014!

Good morning everyone! Today is International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia! Make sure you stop by the IDAHOT website to see more about it. Welcome to my stop on the Hop Against Homophobia and Transphobia 2014! This hop is an annual one and one that I will be taking part in from now on. If you missed out on joining in this year please take a moment to follow the main hop page HERE so you can join us next year!

Here in the United States we are still fighting the war against Homophobia and Transphobia everyday. Each individual state has its own laws regarding same sex marriage and I am so glad that my home state, Maryland, passed it this year! I hope that one day it will not be a matter of where it is legal or illegal, just a choice on where you want your wedding to be. I can not speak from experience only second hand knowledge but even to me it hurts that some people are so closed minded they would begrudge someone happiness just because of whom they choose to love. Some of my very best friends are not straight or comfortable in the gender they were born so for them and everyone else out there struggling everyday, I support you 100%!!

Leo (Signs of Love #1) by Mia Sheridan

Synopsis:

Evie and Leo met in foster care as children and formed a bond of friendship. As they grew, their bond turned to love and they vowed to make a life together when they turned 18 and were no longer a part of the system.

When Leo unexpectedly gets adopted as a teen and he moves to another city, he promises Evie that he will contact her as soon as he gets there and come back for her in a few short years. She never hears from him again.

Now eight years later, in spite of the odds, Evie has made a life for herself. She has a job, she has friends, she's content. Then a man shows up out of the blue, claiming that her long lost love, Leo, sent him to check up on her. The attraction between them is undeniable. But, should she trust this sexy stranger? Or is he keeping a secret about what his connection to Leo is really all about and why Leo disappeared all those years ago?

New Adult Contemporary Romance: Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

Battered Not Broken by Ranae Rose

Synopsis:

War and violent crime cut deep - can love for another person run deeper than the scars left behind?

Ryan Moore forged his own path when he defied his wealthy family's expectations by joining the United States Marine Corps as an enlisted man. After a period of service that's cut short by an IED explosion, the lingering physical and mental effects of war result in an isolated struggle to exist in the civilian world. He throws himself into competitive MMA fighting - the one thing he's still able to excel at, even if every match is a risk he can't afford to take.

His first encounter with amateur female fighter Ally Rivera ignites a spark of desire he hasn't felt since before a bomb left its marks on his life and his body, but his flirtation with her turns out to be anything but harmless. She's struggling to hold together a family ravaged by violence - a feat that isn't easy when her father has been imprisoned, leaving her vulnerable to relatives who run a local gang. Can two unrelenting fighters overcome challenges they couldn't defeat alone, or do the wounds of war and crime run too deep for even love to heal?

Full-Length Novel. (Approximately 110,000 words.)

Battered Not Broken is an erotic romance - contains explicit sexual content.

Giveaway is open International as the prize is an ebook. Ends at 11:59pm (EST) on April 15, 2013 Winner will be announced April 16, 2013

Lucky in Love Blog Hop!!

Lucky in Love? Well, are you? It's a time of luck and wealth...or not. With each romance we find ourselves in a new world of love and memories. Are these just by chance? Is it luck? Welcome to your second annual Lucky in Love Blog Hop where we want to hear about your love, your romance, and how much you love St. Patrick's Day!!! Are you wearing green? Ready to get pinched...or wait...do you like that?

I have been very lucky in love to have found my soul mate. The man has been my everything for nearly a decade and we are just as much in love now as we were then. St.Patricks Day has always been special for us as it is the day we found out we were having a son. Now eight years later we still look back and smile :-)

What makes St. Patricks Day special for you? Do you have any traditions or fun plans?

Almost 300 bloggers have giveaways and posts about those men we love!

But that's not all....

We have TWO grand prizes. You as a reader can go to EACH blog and comment with your email address and be entered to win. Yep, you can enter over 200 times! Now what are those prizes?

Can love survive when life gets Reckless?

When the band hits it big, Kiera and Kellan must ask themselves:
Can their love for each other survive the constant pressures of superstardom? The friendships they've formed, the new family they've found, and the history they've forged will all play a part in helping them navigate the turbulent waters of the band's exploding popularity. A greedy executive hell-bent on success, a declining pop star looking for an edge, and a media circus that twists lies into truths are just some of the obstacles the lovers will have to overcome if they are going to remain together. Fame comes with a price-but will it cost Kiera and Kellan everything?

I think Kellen and Kiera were very Lucky in Love. The drama and obstacles they overcame made this trilogy a must read! I just finished Reckless today and I will be posting my review this week so be sure to stop back and see it.

Buy from Amazon or Barnes & Noble
