Thunder Storm Sexy Blog Tour ~~~ Mimi Foster

BLURB AND BIO

Suddenly finding herself the sole caregiver for her aging grandmother, advertising executive, Jeni Jenkins, accepts her best friend's offer to leave Nana in a beautiful Colorado Victorian cottage surrounded by friends and a competent nursing staff. Jeni expects to take care of her thriving New York business and be able to visit frequently.

Setting off sparks every time he and Jeni get near each other, sumptuous local contractor, Miles Jeffries, makes it clear that short-term, long-distance relationships will never be part of his life. As much as she captivates him, he categorically refuses to pursue any suggested entanglements with this zany woman who has no intention of sticking around. But what’s really preventing him from becoming emotionally involved with this unexpectedly enchanting temptress?

With a genuine fondness for Nana, Miles keeps Jeni up-to-date on the sometimes funny, sometimes poignant situations happening in the Colorado high country. Jeni’s worked hard for the remarkable success she now enjoys, but there’s an emptiness in her life with everyone she loves so far away.

A quick-reading, contemporary romantic escape, readers will enjoy the banter and undeniable sexual attraction between Jeni and Miles.

~~~ BOOK TOUR ~~~ Protecting Caroline by Susan Stoker

    About the Book

Title: Protecting Caroline

Series: SEAL of Protection #1

Author: Susan Stoker

Published: September 8th, 2014

Word Count: 62,000

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Content Warning: Violence

Age Recommendation: 18+

Synopsis: **Protecting Caroline is a stand-alone love story. It is Book 1 in the SEAL of Protection Series**

Matthew “Wolf” Steel hated flying commercial. Luckily his job as a Navy SEAL meant he didn’t have to do it very often. He’d been unlucky enough to be assigned a middle seat on the cramped jet, but fortunately for him, the woman next to him was willing to switch seats with him. Hoping for a relaxing flight, Wolf was pleasantly surprised at the good conversation and sense of humor the woman had as they flew 36,000 feet over the countryside.

When Caroline boarded the plane to Virginia to move across the country for her new job she never expected to be seated next to the hottest guy she’d ever seen. She also never expected he’d be so easy to talk to. She knew he’d never be interested in talking to her if he hadn’t been trapped in the seat next to her, but it was a nice way to spend a long plane ride.

Neither Wolf nor Caroline were prepared for a terrorist hijacking of their plane, but if Caroline thought that would be the last time she’d see, or need, Wolf, she’d be sorely mistaken.

Start the SEAL of Protection Series with Caroline and Wolf’s story.

About the Author

Susan Stoker has a heart as big as the state of Texas where she lives but this all American girl has also spent the last fourteen years living in Missouri, California, Colorado, and Indiana. She is quite the romantic and even met the love of her life on “Hotmail classified” before online dating and sites like match.com even existed!

Susan has been reading romance novels since middle school and once crossed out the names of the main characters in a book and changed them to her own and to the name of her crush. She’s been writing scenes for years, developing her unique writing style.

Susan loves writing but her true passion is adopting dogs from rescue groups and shelters. Susan and her husband have had a total of nine “rescued” dogs since 2000 including a variety of basset hounds and bloodhounds. She has recently branched out and adopted a basset/terrier mix who acts more like a terrier than a basset (i.e. digging, eating a couch and being hyper).

Excerpt

Wolf didn’t say anything, just did what he’d desired to do the first time he saw her in the room. He reached over and gathered her into his arms. She was stiff at first, then she melted into him. She smelled of some sort of flowers. Maybe it was her shampoo, maybe it was a lotion she used, but it went straight to his head. He tightened his arms around her and Caroline lost it. She cried. She cried for being scared on the plane, she cried for being hurt, she cried remembering how alone and scared she felt in her apartment when only a thin piece of plastic kept a killer from knowing she was in the bathroom, she cried in relief that Matthew was back from his mission. Matthew rocked her and held her tight. He wasn’t used to a woman’s tears, but there was no way he was letting her go.
Finally her tears dried up and she only sniffed here and there. Wolf drew back a bit and looked at her face. She wasn’t a “cute crier”—her face was red and blotchy. She refused to raise her eyes. Wolf rubbed her cheeks with his thumbs and then lifted her chin up so Caroline had to look at him. He didn’t say anything just leaned down and touched her lips with his. It wasn’t a passionate kiss, but it felt right. It was a comforting kiss. It was exactly what she needed from him at that moment.
He pulled back and looked into her eyes. “You’re safe now. I’ll do everything in my power to make sure you stay that way.”
Caroline believed him. He was an honest to God hero. And for the moment, he was her hero. She tipped her chin up, reaching again for his lips with hers.
The second she moved, he was there. Wolf had tried to hold back with her. She was feeling vulnerable and he didn’t want to take advantage of her. But with the first touch of her lips against him, he was lost.

Protecting Caroline

Susan Stoker

Meet the sexy SEAL team of the SEAL of Protection series by Susan Stoker.

Matthew Steel – Wolf, the unofficial leader of the group             

Christopher Powers – Abe, Wolf’s closest friend and honest to a fault, just like his nickname

Hunter Knox – Cookie, the newest member and the swimmer of the group

Faulkner Cooper – Dude, resident bomb expert

Sam Reed – Mozart, hunky and flirty, he’s man-whore of the group

Kason Sawyer – Benny, the farm boy, trying to shed his nickname, never going to happen

Tex – Unofficial member, due to an accident that left him injured and discharged from the military, he’s the Intel specialist

This story is about Matthew “Wolf” Steel  and Caroline Martin.

In the first book of this series, we meet these delectable characters and learn a little about how they work together in synch.  Becoming the “go to” group for extreme missions, this SEAL team is the best of the best.   When Wolf, Abe and Mozart board a plane from California to VA none of them realize how their life is about to change forever.  How small things can alter an entire situation and sometimes heroes are the people you least expect.

Caroline is alone in the world, on her way to a new job.  Having experienced being thought of as plain and looked over most of her life, she accepts it and actually loves herself.  She may be just ordinary but her spirit and personality are amazing.  Boarding a plane in California she’s headed to VA to start her new life and a new career.  She never thought, in just a short time, a plane ride would change her life and her future forever.

As unassuming as Caroline is, she attracts the attention of a major group of terrorists and suffers some serious physical abuse because of her roll in a busted terror plot.  Despite all of the abuse she still tries to shield the SEAL team from getting too involved.  Caroline finally understands what it is to love with her whole heart.  Trying to save her from the terrorists, Wolf feels like his heart is being physically pulled out of his body.  He’s found his soul mate and is slowly losing her to the kidnappers.

From the very beginning of this book you start pulling for Caroline and Wolf to get together.  As you continue to read you are completely drawn into the plot.  I spent most of the time reading this on the edge of my seat.  The first 2 chapters were a great foundation.  Then the freight train came out of nowhere.  It picked up speed and man; you just had to hang on for the ride.  The last couple of chapters were so emotional; I needed Kleenex handy because I just couldn’t stop the tears. 

This story has it all for me… sexy, smoking hot, alpha men (in uniform, I might add), damsels in distress but with more strength than some men, sex, romance, adventure and a hell of a plot. 

The writing was excellent and the flow of the story was incredible.  Not like any other SEAL books I have read, I was obsessed with finishing this book.  It’s original and on point.  Unique in such a way that it captures you and guides you through, like a fairy tale.  Wanting the happily ever after and knowing it’s just beyond reach made me sit until I read the entire book.

All I can say is, hang on for the ride… it’s going to be awesome.

Bobby Cummings went to Paris to study at the same international culinary institute as his sister Taryn Cummings. Instead of taking it seriously as she did, he wanted to sample all the goods in Paris, especially the pretty girls there. Why not? He was 19 and the world was his oyster. He wanted to be just like Errol King, a Master Chef, who taught at the Institute and was a notorious bad boy chef.

The only thing was someone was going to walk into his life and put a wrench into his plans...someone with eyes like violets and hair like chocolate silk, and a smoldering passion that consumes him whenever they're together.

He didn't think she would be his type at all. He didn't think he would be hot for Lily, his teacher at the Culinary Institute. Now what would Taryn think? What would Errol think?

Whatever they thought...there's one thing he knew for certain, things with Lily and at the Institute had just gotten heated.

This is a 4 book serial.

Heat is a spin off of Kailin's Master Chef's Series. Enter to win an ebook set all three, Devour Me, Savor Me and Consume Me!

Synopsis:

Colin McKenna is striking and powerful, beautiful and broken…

His mere presence commands attention and he definitely has mine. I'm captivated, drawn to him on a level I don’t understand.

He wants me, needs my body to satisfy his hunger. I’ve given myself freely to his demands. But at what cost? I’m the unknown factor. He had his life planned out, a very specific path laid before him and not anywhere on his road to travel did Charlie Carter exist. Yet here I am, and his struggle becomes one of diversion. Should he divert from the path he meticulously planned or digress for an unknown draw toward a stranger, someone so unlike anyone he’s met before?

Someone with secrets that could destroy his dreams and a destiny filled with power and influence. My past is sealed, protected against curious eyes. I've moved on and created a life for myself, leaving the pain behind. Until now.

I fell willingly into his bed, stolen moments of passion so intense, they blurred the lines of responsibility and reason. The passion we’ve unlocked together could be the key to our salvation or the path to damnation.

This is my story, my fall into love and fear that it could end in a heartbeat.

Midnight is an adult contemporary romance, due to strong language and sexual content this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.
