Sinful Sirens Blog Giveaway Hop- Tidal by Emily Snow!!



Now that Willow Avery is out of rehab, she's got one chance left to prove herself before she’s officially on every producer’s shit list. At least, that's what her parents and agent are claiming. She doesn't really give a damn if she never makes another movie or not—she just wants to get on with her life, get back to her friends, and find her next escape. But Willow is broke. And whether she likes it or not, acting is the only job she knows how to do.

When she accepts the lead in a beach drama, Willow finds herself in Hawaii. And in Hawaii, she finds Cooper, the gorgeous surfer hired to train her for her new role. With the bluest eyes she’s ever seen and the sexiest Australian accent she’s ever heard, Cooper’s different from the men she’s used to. He doesn’t want to use her. And he refuses to let her fail. But when an old friend re-enters Willow’s life—a friend whose toxicity she’s been drawn to time and time before and whose presence brings about the painful memories she's tried so hard to suppress—Willow will have to choose between the girl she was and the person she’s becoming. The lifestyle that helps her forget the pain and the guy she’s falling hard for.

For the Sinful Sirens hop, I'm giving away a paperback of TIDAL by Emily Snow. I absolutely loved this book! I personally think Emily outdid herself with the characters and the emotional depth of the story. It was deeply moving- one that I won't ever forget.

To be entered in the giveaway, please leave a comment and your email address so a winner can be contacted. Thanks!!




“Do you want to hear something, Wills?” he asked in a low, sexy whisper, his accent clipping every other word.

“No,” I said honestly. I just wanted him to kiss me until I couldn’t think.

He pinned me hard to the wall, and the dresser a few feet away shook, rattling the items strewn across it. “I’ve wanted to do this since night one.”

“When you came back here with a hard-on?” I asked breathlessly.

He coaxed one of my hands from around his neck, grinning when I tightened the grip my legs had on his body, and kissed the inside of my wrist. “Further back.”

I moaned as he skimmed his other hand along the low-cut, elastic line of my panties. “That was our first night,” I pointed out. I ignored my conscience when it yelled at me that that night was only twelve days ago. People screw a lot earlier.

Yes, they do. So fuck off, conscience.

“We had to meet, right?” he asked.

“Lunch?” I squeaked, and he nodded slowly. He drowned my surprise out, slanting his lips over mine, demanding that I open them for him. I did.

“I want to be inside of you, Willow. I want to watch your face when I’m inside of you, when you sigh, when you come for me. And Willow?”

He was using my whole name again.

“Yes?” I said.

He released me, standing me up, with his hands on either side of my shoulders to steady me. I automatically moved toward him, as if a magnet pulled me, but he shook his head, keeping me in place.

“You’re going to tell me right now if you’re not for sure,” he said.

“I want you, Cooper. I don’t know what the fuck else I want anymore, but I want this right now.”

Review: Devoured by Emily Snow

Devoured is Emily Snow's debut novel and a fab debut for an indie author I must say.

Sienna's grandmother has been the number one person in her life growing up. When she receives a call from home, Sienna drops everything to travel back to help her grandmother. Just about everything in her grandmothers life has been tarnished some way or another by her mother, who Sienna holds a thick grudge against. Now her grandmothers house is being foreclosed on by the man who so ruthlessly told her to get out of his life.

Lucas is a hot rock star with a secretive background and dominate traits. When he see's something he wants, he goes after it. Two years ago, he and Sienna were together, but when Sienna decided against something he wanted, he turned her away immediately. But Sienna is the one girl who he hasn't been able to let go of, so he sets a plan into motion backing Sienna up against a wall. So much is at stake now, including Sienna's heart. She wants Lucas something fierce but giving into him means surrendering to him, something she fights tooth and nail at.

I really liked the hero Lucas! He is an smoking hot alpha with attitude, though he could use a little more arrogance in my opinion, but that's because I like jerky men in my books. :) He has a dark and mysterious past that isn't touched on all that much and I think that's what makes him so alluring. Sienna's had somewhat of a difficult childhood which I could relate to, so I understand her attitude and her views towards the people in her life. Her grudges held against members of her family are realistic and I felt so sad for her. I hated how she had so much to deal with. Sienna's mother and brother are pretty selfish. I'd love to slap Sienna's mother upside her head!

The only thing that I think could use strength is the character development. Little bits and pieces were revealed and it was just enough to lure me in....and leave me with questions and make me want more...NOW! So, I guess that's not a bad thing. :)

Overall, Devoured is an emotional hot and steamy read. I'm so glad to have found another indie author to love and who writes what they want without holding anything back. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I'm looking forward to the next one.

Devoured Book Tour & Giveaway!




Emily, welcome to My Secret Romance! Thank you so much for being here! Can you tell us a little about yourself? Something most wouldn't know about you?
Thanks so much for having me, Taryn! I’m a girl from a really, really small town who spends way too much money on Kindle books and iTunes. I’ve got kids (who love to read—winning!)and a husband (who listens to me rant about my characters). I have really supportive parents (who just found out I write romance a month ago) and I’ve been BFFs with the same girl for 24 years. Something most people don’t know about me? I was a bit of a Titanic freak when the movie came out. I watched it so many times that I still know every line of dialogue, and I haven’t watched the movie in at least ten years. Okay . . . I guess that makes me more than just a “bit of a Titanic freak” huh?

I really liked Lucas and how we didn't get too much of his background- It kept me wanting more. He's what I look for in a hero, though I wish he was more of a jerk. Hey, I like my heroes mean! lol Where did you get your inspiration for Lucas?
I’m so glad you liked Lucas! Don’t worry—his background will be laid out in Consumed and just between us, it’s not very pretty. LTo be honest (and please don’t tell him this) I got a lot of my inspiration for Lucas from my husband. I married a total smartass, but luckily for him, I’m just as sarcastic as he is.

Describe Sienna to us. What's her personality like?
Sienna is very sweet.Like I mentioned before, I’m a bit of a smartass—okay, a HUGE smartass—so writing really sweet characters is always fun. Sienna’s got this very giving personality, and she’ll do just about anything for her family, including risking her job and sacrificing her happiness.

When writing a book, do you have an outline you follow or do you just let the pen take you away? What if the outline you planned goes in a different direction? Do you follow it or keep to your plan?
I always, ALWAYS, writea detailed outline for my books and it always goes very badly. I write these long-ass outlines and very rarely do I follow them. I keep saying that I’m done with outlining and yet I have quite a few saved to my computer at the moment!

At the end of DEVOURED, there were some unanswered questions. Do you plan onrevealing them in your next book?
Yes! There’s one more book in Lucas and Sienna’s story and everything will be revealed in that book.Lucas has a lot of issues and he’s so guarded, so I can’t wait for readers to see him totally stripped down.

How many books are you planning for in the DEVOURED series? Do you have a set release date and could you give us a sneak peek of it?
There’s at least one novel (CONSUMED, January 2013) and one novella (ALL OVER YOU, November 2012)but right now I’m not sure if there are any more books. Kylie—who’s one of my favorite characters—has been bugging me to write her story, so that’s probably going to happen at some point next year. Trust me, she’s got a lot to say!
I just posted a sneakpeak of All Over You on my Facebook page the other day, which can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Emily-Snow/363370467075260.I can’t give away a sneak peak of Consumed quite yet, but there might be something on my blog around Christmas time when the cover is revealed.*Whistles innocently*

What are you currently working on at the moment? Can you tell us about it?
I’m working on a new adult novel called TIDAL that I’ve fallen head over heels in love with. It’s about an actress who’s fresh out of rehab and the surf instructor who’s been hired to train her for her newest role. I’ve laughed and cried while writing this one and my husband must think I’m insane whenever he sees me working onit!

What can we expect from you in 2013?
Quite a few morebooks! There’s Consumed coming out in January and I’ve got another new adult I'm planning to release in March or April and I’ve also written a paranormalbook . . . I spend a lot of time glued to Word, can you tell? ;)

What's your favorite quote?
“I would always rather be happy than dignified” –From JaneEyre

Do you have a guilty pleasure? Care to share it with us? ;)
Pole dancing. ;) I got into it a few years back after seeing a Studio Veena YouTube video and bought myself an X-Pole. It’s kick ass exercise, and seriously, so freakin’HOT!

Describe DEVOURED Twitter style- 160 characters or less.
Rock star convinces woman who turned him down 2 years before to work for him after he buys her grandma's house in a foreclosure sale. There’s sexy time.

Thank you so much for letting me visit your blog, Taryn! You ROCK so hard for doing all this for me.<3

Waiting on Wednesday: DEVOURED

Waiting of Wednesday Hosted by Breaking the Spine: A Platform to share the unreleased book I’m impatiently patiently waiting to get my hands on now…Gimme Gimme Now!!!!


Release date: October 9th 

Sienna Jensen had no plans to return home when she graduated college last spring—after all, her dreams lie in California. But when she discovers her grandmother’s posh Nashville home has been foreclosed, and the new owner has started the eviction process, Sienna has no other choice but go back to Music City. And she comes face to face with the flawed, gorgeous man she never thought she’d see again. The man who now holds the deed to her grandma’s estate.

When millionaire rock star Lucas Wolfe finds the outspoken redhead glaring at him from across a courtroom, he’s both infuriated and intrigued. He still can't get the night Sienna almost spent with him out of his mind, and the chemistry between them is as undeniable as it was two years ago. He craves Sienna more than ever. And just like everything Lucas hungers for, he’s determined to have her.

Now, Lucas will do whatever it takes to lure Sienna into his bed, even if that means making a deal with her: ten days with him, playing by his rules, and he’ll hand over the deed to her grandmother’s home. Though she agrees to the arrangement, Sienna is conflicted. Because of her duty to her family. Because of promises she’s made to herself and a past that still haunts her. And as Lucas’s game of seduction continues, and Sienna is introduced to his dark, erotic world and even darker background, she realizes that at any moment, she could be devoured.

*This novel contains adult situations and content
