✿ Release Day Blitz & Review ✿ Behind The Computer ✿ FL Jacob ✿


RELEASE DAY


BARNES & NOBLE: Coming Soon!

SYNOPSIS:

I’m Sawyer James, best-selling indie author.  There have been so many rumors going around about my model, Caleb Allen, and I that I can’t see straight.  So, instead of sitting back on my hands like I’m told I need to do, let it blow over, and kill everyone with kindness, I’m going to do what I do best, I’m going to write a book about our relationship. 

So here it is, our story.  The real story.

Now if you have anything to talk about, you can shove it because this is the truth. 

This is the story from behind the computer.





ARC received from author for an honest review.
For most of us, the closest we will ever get to talking to an author or a cover model is from behind the computer via social media. Unless you are lucky enough to go to an author event/book signing (believe me, if you ever get the chance, do it!!)
For indie author Sawyer James, the last thing she expects when she sees the hottie at the gym is for her world to be turned upside down.
The chemistry between her and Caleb is off the charts. Seriously, you would be burnt by the spark just by being in the same room.
The bump in the road though is Sawyer's boyfriend Liam. At times I both wanted to slap the crap out of him for ignoring Sawyer, but as we learn more my heart kind of broke for him.
But Sawyer needs to do what is right for her - but can she take that step.
Behind the Computer is a short, sexy read that I was able to finish in one sitting.
I have enjoyed F.L Jacob's previous works, and really did like this one.
Can't wait to see what we get next!



TEASER:

I straighten up and look at him; he’s come from the party. He has on a black suit with a crisp white shirt and ironically a green tie. 

“We match.” I try to smile.

He wipes the tears away from under my eyes and holds my face in his hands. “I picked it to match your eyes. I was hoping you would be there.”

“I’ve missed you,” I admit feeling relieved he hasn’t completely given up on me. 

“You have no idea how much I’ve missed you.” He wipes a few more stray tears. I laugh a little, and he smiles. “There’s that smile I love so much. I was watching you all day. You didn’t look at me once.”

“It was so hard.”

“That’s what she said.” He winks, and I let out a real laugh this time.







I am a mommy of two, wife to an amazing man, and full-time employee. Life is crazy and busy! I started writing again during a darker time in my life in a group write in a Facebook group. They brought back my passion for writing that I haven’t felt since high school and helped me through hard times. 

Starting this process was tedious and nerve-wracking, but my amazing ladies and my fabulous husband have inspired me to take my love for writing to the next step.



My current books are Have I Told You, I Won't Give Up on You, A Very Merry Black Hollywood Christmas, and Give Me All of You, all part of the Black Hollywood Series.  

Behind the Computer is a new standalone that is not part of the BH series.  It's a step outside of my comfort zone, but the story hit me like a ton of bricks so I went with it. 



Coming 2016, One in a Million. New Characters, New story, Standalone! More information coming soon.

Title: Full Domain
Series: Nice Guys Novel #3

Author: Kindle Alexander
Genre: M/M Romance

Release Date: Coming Soon







Honor, integrity, and loyalty are how Deputy US Marshal Kreed Sinacola lives his life. A former SEAL now employed by the Special Operations Group of the US Marshal Service, Kreed spent most of his life working covert operations and avoiding relationships. Never one to mix business with pleasure, his boundaries blur and his convictions are put to the test when he finally comes face-to-face with the hot computer geek he’s been partnered with. Hell-bent on closing the ongoing case for his longtime friend, he pushes past his own limits and uncovers more than he expects.

Aaron Stuart strives for one thing: justice. Young and full of idealism, his highly sought after computer skills land him a position with the National Security Agency. Aaron
’s biggest hazard at his job is cramped fingers, but all that changes when he is drawn into the middle of a dangerous federal investigation. Aaron gets more than he bargained for when the FBI partners him with a handsome and tempting deputy US marshal. His attraction to the inked up, dark-haired man provides another kind of threat altogether. Aaron tries desperately to place a firewall around his heart and fight his developing feelings, knowing one misstep on his part could ultimately destroy him.

The solution isn
’t as easy as solving the case, which is treacherous enough as it is. But the growing sexual attraction between them threatens to derail more than just Kreed’s personal convictions as he quickly learns temptation and matters of the heart rarely fit easily into the rules he’s lived by. Will Kreed be able to convince Aaron to open his heart and face the fact that sometimes the answers aren’t always hidden in code?





























Best Selling Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy, romance, suspense, and erotica in both the male/male and male/female genres. It's always a surprise to see what's coming next!






I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it's true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women's hair!




Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life - I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations - regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal... I don't want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I'm going to tell you about Kindle.




I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I'll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died - weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn't have to be alone.


That time in my life was terrible. It's everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.



Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness - it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.



Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn't a time she wasn't there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It's its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn't be here today without her.

★★★★★

5 big and fat Stars



LET THERE BE LIGHT.

My name is Calla Price and I’m broken.
My pieces are all around me, floating on the wind, even as I desperately try to grasp them.
Who is dead? Alive? Insane?
What is the truth?
I don’t know.
I do know this: The darkness is strangling me. With every breath, I choke on another lie.
My mind has protected me, but that shield will soon be lowered.
All will be revealed.
Every answer to every question.
It’s all been leading to this.
Don’t be afraid.
Be terrified.

 

Astoria, Oregon, USA & Whitley, England...







Do we all remember what happened in #NOCTE & #VERUM????
I have to admit, I did a little re-read when I found first #INITIUM and then #LUX on my kindle. But while I was doing that, I realized that I didn't forget a thing about what happened in the first books. You just can't forget such an extremely memorable story!! Not that remembering means understanding anything ☺☺☺



PLEASE STOP READING NOW, IF YOU HAVEN'T READ #NOCTE!!!!!!


OkeyDokey, where to begin...???
#LUX pretty much starts where #VERUM & #INITIUM ended...
Calla is in a hospital bed and her dead or still-living (???☺☺☺) twin Finn is talking to her.
Dare is nowhere to be found.
Calla doesn't know what's real and what's dream and what's her own crazy.
Finn tells her she has to find out what's real on her own. She has to go back to the beginning. To the one place and time she knows to be real.

And that's what we do.
Calla takes us back in time.
Back to Kindergarten age.
The time where Finn first got sick (crazy) .... or didn't he??
We find out a lot about what happened in Calla's childhood...but of course everything we find out, leads to more HUH?-moments and questions...



We go back to England with the family - every summer....
We see little Dare....teenaged Dare...
And how nobody in this huge mansion likes him, or even acknowledges him.... and how he pretends to not care ...



The whole story of Calla's life will be revealed to us, while she's still in that hospital bed.



But there's sooo much more that won't be revealed until the last pages of the book ... if at all ☺☺
- NOOOOO - don't skip to the end ... be patient!!!!!

What will happen to Calla & Dare?
Will we finally find all the answers?

Will everybody die at the end?
Or was anybody even alive in the first place??
Will there be a horrible Cliffhanger???

Nope, I'm not telling you ☺




well, ok - no Cliffy of course - it's the last book in the series!!!! ☺ BUT.... nope - not telling you!!!
_________________________________________________________



I REALLY LOoOVED THE BOOK!

I was sooo excited when I found the book on my kindle - I was waiting to read it for what seemed like forever!!!



I loved #NOCTE & #VERUM so much and I needed to know what would happen to Calla & Dare!
If they would get their HEA - or if if if - I don't even know what kind of if.... Is everybody dead? Are only some people dead?? Is nobody dead? Is everybody crazy? What kind of supernatural powers are at work? Or is it all real??? I'm sure you had the same questions while reading the first books....
This is such an amazing series - I never read anything like it before.
I JUST LOVE IT!
Even though I constantly, completely, have no idea what's going on ☺☺☺



Well, at least I now know a bit more than I did after finishing #NOCTE & #VERUM☺
It's still all very confusing and mysterious and suspensy and scary though.



This series is a complete psycho-mind-efff ☺ In a good way of course!!!



Just like in the first books, you imagine what could've happened, what will happen....
But you really have no idea, and you're just scared that you won't like whatever it is ....


And just like with #NOCTE & #VERUM you just can't help but LOVE every word of the story.

We love Dare so much ...we just want the two of them to get their happy ever after....
BUT... who knows when or if that will ever happen ☺☺☺


LUX was a heartstoppingly amazing effed-up Psycho-Suspense-Romance! 
I couldn't put it down!

This gif might be the best description of the NOCTE TRILOGY:



I loooooved it - and I won't say more than that - everything more I could and would want to say about the book would be a spoiler!!!! You need to get yourselves to amazon and one-click the hell out of this book!!!!!!





IF YOU HAVE NOT READ NOCTE, VERUM AND THE NOVELLA INITIUM, DON'T GO ANY FURTHER


 See that spinning head up there? Yep, that was me most of the time reading this whole series.  And now that the series has come to the end.... well, the head is still spinning!

But fasten your seatbelts, secure all valuables and keep arms and legs inside the carriage, because with Lux, you will be still be on the ride that began with Verum. 


Lux felt like the first verse of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen;


"Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a  landslide, no escape from reality"

Throughout the whole book, I found myself falling deeper into the rabbit hole, not knowing which way was was, what was the truth in all the madness.
And still, even a week after I finished reading it, my head is 

At the end of Verum, we were left with so many questions - who is alive, who is dead, what the hell is happening.
 


With Lux, we get more of the same, but with additions!  Things that are raised in the novella Initium (which you really probably should read before Lux) are carried through to Lux, and pay an integral part of the story.

I adore Calla and Dare - theirs is such a heartfelt yet heartbreaking story.  It's all a case of will they or won't they?  Can they have a HEA or is it not on the cards for them.

And for that, you are going to have to read for yourself.

My mind is still running around in circles as to what really has happened.

I guess it is one of those things you really need to read for an make a decision for yourself.

The Nocte Trilogy is unlike any other series I have ever read.  I have been mind-f*&ked over and over - but coudn't stop coming back for more! 

What a dark, twisted place it must be in Ms Cole's mind - and I LOVE it!
