Blog Tour: Vacant by Evelyn R. Baldwin



Title: Vacant (Adult Version)
Author: Evelyn R. Baldwin
Published: YA - December 23, 2012/Adult Erotica - February 23, 2013
 Ethan Parker gets up every day, surviving the only way he knows how—alone. Orphaned as a child and forced into the child welfare system, he knows better than to depend on anyone but himself. He’s learned trust is a word used all too often, but rarely earned. Ethan believes that his best chance for maintaining a simple and solitary existence is to live by a simple mantra: Don’t get involved. Keep things simple. Take care of yourself! When a young woman moves in next door, Ethan is forced to reevaluate his beliefs. He tries to keep his distance, but his new neighbor’s infectious smile and outlook on life leave him struggling with the decision of living the life he knows, or taking a chance on the unexpected. As Ethan develops a relationship with his new neighbor, Emily, he realizes nothing is simple and learns that life is about more than just surviving... it’s about living. 

**This version contains sexual content only suitable for adult audiences.

My Review ~ 3.75/5 stars!!

Ethan Parker is all alone. Orphaned as a child and put in the system he has survived the only way he knows how, depending on no one but himself. All that starts to change when Emily knocks on his door. Emily is sweet and friendly with a smile that is contagious. She is also going through some things that Ethan feels he needs to protect her from. Ethan and Emily's relationship slowly grows (in a span of 15 years) into so much more. They learn so much about themselves and each other over the years and it grows into something beautiful.

I loved Ethan and Emily. Their journey was sweet with a few bumps along the way but worked out in the end. Since I read the adult version it definitely got HOT also. The only thing that I would have to complain about is that it being a novella wasn't long enough. This story could have been so much more if it was a full length novel. I felt like some things where a little rushed and not given enough face-time. It was an enjoyable, sweet little read but if it was fleshed out a little more it could have been a GREAT story!!


About the Author

Evelyn R. Baldwin was born in the Midwest and spent her childhood on a horse ranch. As an only child, Evelyn was often forced to entertain herself with the family's horses as companions, and her imagination the only limitation.

After moving to St. Louis to attend college, she earned a degree in Education. During her Master’s program, Evelyn discovered her fascination with behavior and psychology.


Her first professional job experience was as a juvenile counselor, which led her to venture into other human sciences, eventually making a career with Behavior Analysis. While writing is a hobby for Evelyn, she often uses her experiences with human behavior to guide her characters.


She’s written short stories since childhood but only recently began exercising her real writing muscles. While she does not consider herself a professional writer in any sense of the word, she continues to polish her craft and hopes for success in her writing ventures, even if they are just as a hobby.

Hard to Hold On Cover Reveal by Shanora Williams!!



~ Hard to Hold On COVER REVEAL! ~

Hard to Resist Sequel
Expected Release Date: May 20th, 2013
Author: Shanora Williams ♥
Cover Design by Stephanie White of Steph's Cover Design

Synopsis:
For the past four months, Natalie Carmichael and Nolan Young have been complete. Everything still feels right in their passion-filled world. It still feels natural - that is until Nolan's mother passes away.
Things begin to turn for the worst for Nolan and his brother Mills. After losing their father from previous years before, it's a tragedy on top of a tragedy. Along with the loss, Natalie and Nolan will face obstacles that they aren't so sure they can handle.
From the New York Times and USA Today Best Selling novel, Hard to Resist, Natalie and Nolan will realize that there is something in their relationship that will have them either wanting to run away or trying to stick through it.
Will Natalie and Nolan stick together? Can they hold on to what they've worked so hard to keep going?

Love was found. Their only hope is that it never gets lost.

Excerpt:
Nolan’s hands work their way down to my jeans and he unbuttons them. My back arches, allowing him to continue. He slides my jeans off before crushing my lips with his. I shut my eyes, ready to enjoy the feeling. I’ve wanted this for so long.
His finger sneaks beneath my panties and slowly slides into me. I moan and he groans as he rubs the flesh between. I pull his head down to kiss him again—to keep the intimacy going. His tongue plays and coaxes mine. I hear his belt buckle jingle and he adjusts himself to get his pants down but our lips never part. He presses himself against me and my stomach tightens. I grip his T-shirt but he pulls back to tug it over his head.
He glares down at me, as if I’m the only person on this entire planet that he wants. He’s all that I want. I know that he feels the same way. Leaning down, Nolan’s lips press against my neck and then kiss their way down to my breasts. He tugs my shirt over my head, pulls my bra down, and then licks my nipples. Heat sparks and I feel myself building up. My eyes squeeze shut from the erotic feeling. His mouth is like magic as it licks and sucks. He begins to move southward, and my legs tighten around him but he presses his palms against the inside of my thighs to keep me still and available to him.
I look down and watch as he bites on his bottom lip while pulling my panties down. Quickly, his hot tongue slides between my slick folds and I gasp through my teeth as he swirls it around my sweet area. I can really feel myself building up now. I want nothing but him inside of me—nothing but his hard body against mine. I want to mold and fill the room up with our steam and sweat.
My moans and pants pick up and then, abruptly and rather annoyingly, he pulls back. “Not yet,” he says against my lips.

Interview and Giveaway with Danielle Jamie




 Hello!! Today we have the lovely Danielle Jamie Author of Irresistible Desire with her very first interview. So pull up a seat and enjoy. She might even have a few ebook copies of Irresistible Desire to giveaway at the end of the interview if you are good (or very very bad) which ever you prefer..lol 


Hello Danielle! Thanks so much for coming to Alpha's, Authors and Books Oh My to answer our questions. You are a new author with your very first book published titled Irresistible Desire. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

I am 28, and a mother of three. I have two girls Madison 9, Bailey 5 and my lil man Finn who is 1 ½. I have been married to my husband Will for almost 10 yrs and together almost 13! I run a boutique online, Bailey Booper’s Boutique. I have always written as a hobby and always said my goal since high school was to have a book published before I was 30. I turned 28 in February and a week before my birthday I said Screw It I am going to go for it and write a book! With all the options out there for new authors there was no reason for me to put it off any longer

Describe Irresistible Desire in 30 Words or less.

A Steamy, Hot, Emotional Roller coaster Ride. It will make you laugh, cry, scream, and swoon all with in a few hours of reading it! It will leave you wanting more. Kayden Knox will have your panties melting off!

How did you come up with the title?

One of my favorite quotes is Robert Frosts, “Love is an Irresistible Desire to be Irresistibly Desired.” I new after coming up with my story line and ideas for this book that it fit perfectly. I loved how no one had used it yet! I was able to find a clever way to incorporate the books name into the story, so it was Perfect.

Do you have a favorite chapter, scene or part that you wrote and if so why?

My favorite scene is the hot fudge scene in Kayden’s penthouse suite. It is the first time Kayden & Savannah were together intimately in a more intimate way. The other two times before that were “Quickie’s” This scene they really took the time to connect with each other on a deeper sexual level. I also love how playful it was

When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer and what inspired your first book?

I have wanted to be a writer ever since Elementary School! I have been writing poetry and short stories my entire life. Every time I read a book I said I really need to be doing this! I am a huge soap opera fan and romantic novel fan and was inspired by the years of watching soaps & reading novels. Tied that in with things I love myself and with that came Savannah’s story!

Do you have any writing rituals or a process you follow?

Not really. I kind of just makes notes whenever an idea pops into my head and sometimes I will have one idea in mind when I am writing and than be inspired by something I saw or read that day and totally change the entire idea to something completely different. My story pretty much comes to me while I am writing it, lol I guess you can say.

Where and when do you prefer to do your writing?

My favorite time to write is at nighttime once all the kids are in bed and I can truly relax and focus. I try to write during the day, but with my Boutique I am always so busy I just cannot seem to focus.

Is there any particular author or book that influenced you?

My main influences are V.C. Andrews, Sylvia Day, and Olivia Cunning.

What do you like to do when you're not writing?

I love walking with my kids, when its nice outside we go for a 2 mile walk together pretty much everyday! Another favorite pass time is going out to eat with my kids and Husband, it can be anywhere from Mcdonalds to The Texas Roadhouse, just getting out of the house and spending time together. My favorite thing at night if I am not writing, is I love laying on the couch and watching shows on my DVR. In peace & quiet!

Do you have any favorite authors or favorite books?

My favorite Author growing up was V.C. Andrews, and now I Love Sylvia Day, J.A. Redmerski, S.C. Stephens, Olivia Cunning, Jamie McGuire..ect there are SO MANY Amazing Authors out there right now I could go on ALL DAY!

What can we expect from Danielle Jamie next?

Right now I have been brain storming for Book 2 for my Savannah Trilogy! It is going to be full of hot steamy sex and crazy ass drama!

What 3 words describe the author you want to be?

That’s hard to answer? LOL, I guess Inspiring, Admirable, Fun!

Ok now that all the hard stuff is out of the way it's time for a little fun. Boxers, Briefs or Commando?

Well I love to look at a man in a nice fitted pair of briefs, but commando is nice too ;)

Bed, floor or up against the wall?

Bed or Wall, definitely NO FLOOR…rug burn is a bitch ;)

Bad boy or boy next door?

Of Course Bad Boy!

Tattoos & piercing or smooth & unmarked?

Well my husband is smooth & unmarked but I love a man with tattoos.. Just a few not completely covered!

Butt, eyes or chest?

I love a man with gorgeous eyes and a nice butt, a chiseled chest would be nice but not a must, also I have a huge pet peeve about teeth! They have to have an amazing smile!

Thank you so much for stopping by to talk with us. Is there anything that you would like to say to your readers and fans?

I would love to give a quick thank you to everyone who has been so supportive of me. I am a new author and people had no idea if my story would be intriguing or a snooze fest, lol…so I am just grateful to everyone who took a chance on me and purchased my book. All the amazing feedback I have received is just the cherry on top! I hope they love Inescapable Desire & Infinite Desire just as much as they have Irresistible Desire!
