And now...the moment Mara's we've all been waiting for...


When sixteen-year-old Madeline suffers her first grand mal seizure, she finds herself in an unfamiliar reality, surrounded by strangers wearing familiar faces. Her best friend, Brandon, tells her that the world has fallen to chaos, the aftermath of World War III ten years ago. Madeline doesn’t remember anything from this life— especially not the explosion four years ago that killed her parents and landed her in a coma, or the Lord Commander; a zealot leader of the Southern Territories now searching for her.

Madeline barely has time to process everything before waking up to the life she’s always known. As soon as she dismisses it all as a strange and vivid dream, she finds herself back there once more. Unsure if she’s truly caught in the middle of a brewing rebellion, or teetering on the brink of insanity, she finds herself flipping between the two lives. Her heart becomes torn between two versions of the same boy and the lines between her realities begin to blur as she struggles to save her lives in both worlds.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: 

Mara Valderran is an author of young adult and new adult books, but she's more than just a madwoman with a writing box. She is an avid reader and fan of all things sci-fi and fantasy. She loves roller skating and movies, though typically not together. She lives in Las Vegas with her husband and demanding cat. She hopes to one day meet Daniel Jackson from SG1, or at least the actor who played him.

5 Star Review from Lynn

Amongst the Clouds, book 4 of James and Syvok’s adventures, is my new favorite. As compared to the others in the series, this one has a darker side. Their latest adventure stars Old Hag and her plot to steal Ranni’s cloud. It’s a fast paced, dramatic tale that brings back past characters like Helga, the troll, and Alex and Bethany, the two young dragons. Of course, no adventure is complete without Matthias. Amongst the Clouds is sure to attract new readers for author Wendy Nystrom. I cannot wait to see what James gets into next time.

BLURB:
She’s a spoiled shopaholic with daddy issues.
He’s a socially conscious vegetarian who
doesn’t hide his disdain for people who 
come from the trappings of wealth. Of 
course, none of that would have mattered
if Chloe could have just left her summer 
fling with Chase behind her without a glance back—something that will prove impossible when the consequences of that fling rear their head. Particularly one consequence; one with ten fingers, ten toes, and the potential to turn Chloe’s privileged life upside down. 

But deciding what to do about her unexpected pregnancy is only one of Chloe’s problems. When Chase moves in across the hall, pretending that their one night together didn’t mean anything will be the hardest thing she’s ever had to do. Especially when that night meant more to her than she’d ever want to admit out loud. Chase is determined to make her see that they could be so much more than a mindless fling; and a girl who’s used to getting her way will find Chase’s determination hard to resist when love is at stake.

5 Star Review 
Cheree Castellanos

This was such a fun book! But full of emotion and growth. Chloe is full of attitude, spoiled rotten and more than proud of it. She has not time for love or relationships, has her friends and that's all she needs. Until she meets Chase on summer vacation. He annoys her so much, in just the right ways. They have an amazing fling and now it's back to reality.....until the summer fun follows you home. Chole may have met her match and is about to go for the ride of a lifetime. A lot of controversial and real life situations that really make you think about the choices we have to make in life. I was surprised with V-Card and loved it, and Alicia Michaels has done it again in Sharing Spaces book 2. Such sensitive subjects handled with such grace and yet so entertaining

MEET THE AUTHOR...
Ever since she first read books like Chronicles of Narnia or Goosebumps, Alicia has been a lover of mind-bending fiction. Wherever imagination takes her, she is more than happy to call that place her home. With several Fantasy and Science Fiction titles under her belt, Alicia strives to write multicultural characters and stories that touch the heart. V-Card, the first book of the Sharing Spaces series, was her first Contemporary Romance.
The mother of three and wife to a soldier, she loves chocolate, coffee, and of course good books. When not writing, you can usually find her with her nose in a book, shopping for shoes and fabulous jewelry, or spending time with her loving family.

   Excerpts
“Well,” Stevie started, picking her spatula back up. “I’m going to start with the most obvious question: Is he a good kisser?”
Kyra bit her lip and nodded, making Stevie roll her eyes dramatically. “It was probably the best kiss I’ve ever had, but that really isn’t saying much since my kissing experience is pretty limited. His skin was warm from where he’d been working. He wasn’t quite sweaty yet, but I could still smell it. When I kissed him, I tasted the salt of it around his lips. I had my legs around his waist—”
“What?” Stevie screeched, throwing her hands in the air and flinging icing everywhere. “That is so not just a kiss! You pounced on the poor guy! You’re a freaking animal!”
“I did,” Kyra agreed, smiling rather dreamily. “I jumped onto him, and he caught me. I could feel the muscles in his arms go all tight to hold me. And then I kissed him, but that didn’t last long.”
“He stopped it?” Stevie asked, slightly breathless.
“No. He starting kissing me back, and it was like…”
“Like what?” Stevie yelled.
“Like he needed to taste every part of my mouth. Like maybe he had wanted to kiss me too, but I was the one that did it first. It kind of felt like he wanted every inch of me, but all he had was my mouth. So he took it. And all I could do was just hold on.” Kyra shrugged when she was finished.
Stevie was wide-eyed with her mouth parted slightly. She blinked as if she was waking up from a dream. Then she shivered. “Well, I’m good to go for another few months.” She squeezed her legs together and made another face. “Oh, yeah. That’ll do.”

FIX UP (Patch Up #2)
by Stephanie Witter
New Adult Contemporary Romance
Fix Up on Goodreads: Fix Up (Patch Up, #2)
Saying “I love you'' doesn’t erase the old scars and fears.  
"I love you to insanity. I'm not even sure if it's a good thing.'' — Duke  
Skye is trying to overcome what happened with Sean. Now that she’s slowly healing, both physically and mentally, she’s determined to do something she should have done sooner.  
She’s meeting twice a week with a new, very young therapist, Dr. Marshall.  
There, she’s able to talk freely, unwind, and question things. Most of the sessions she talks about herself and her hangups, along with her relationship with Duke, which is still on rocky ground.  
"I want to taste his sweat. I want to hear his groans. I want to feel him inside of me.'' — Skye  
But while Skye is slowly getting back on her feet, Duke feels like he's drowning. He’s afraid of pushing her too much, of initiating intimacy, and it’s weighing between them. Moreover, knowing that he's not the one she’s talking to anymore is making him feel things he never thought possible.  
"It’s a matter of when I’ll stop fighting." — Duke  
As days pass, Duke is showing over and over how vulnerable he truly is and how Skye has more power over him than she ever imagined.  
When Skye sees how they keep hurting each other, she’s determined to do everything in her power to make things right, no matter what the cost. 
But one thing is still sure; she can count on Duke whenever she needs him, even if they disagree and fight. When Duke loves, he loves with everything he’s made of, the good and the bad.  
"Loving her is confusing, making me afraid of myself and what I can do ... because I can break us both." — Duke

Skye followed her long time boyfriend to Seattle for their first year of college, but he dumped her after only a week. The relationship brought only pain and destruction in Skye's life, and yet, she can't bring herself to open up and live her life.
"What if I am already broken into pieces?"
She hates to be touched, hiding under her oversized shirts and behind her wild frizzy hair. Even her bubbly roommate can't reach her. And yet ...
"I'm the guy who knows how you can hurt so much that your insides feel like they're cut and bleeding."
The tall, handsome, and tattooed TA in her psychology class changes everything when he literally collides with her and confronts her. For the first time in a long time, she wants to try and open up to this guy whose dark, intense eyes can't hide his own pain despite his dazzling smile getting to her.
However, just when she's starting to live again, her ex-boyfriend comes back, breaking her time and time again, making it all the more complicated.
She wants to fight for herself and for this building thing with the TA, even when he pushes her away, but can two broken people patch each other up?
"I never thought colliding with someone could change lives, but it is possible."
* Due to some shocking scenes, this novel is for readers of 18 and up

Change Up on Goodreads:Change Up (Patch Up, #3)
In Patch Up and Fix Up you had Skye and Duke’s story. 
Now, it’s time for Derek and Kate to find their path.  
He fights for the people he loves.  
She fights against love.  
Kate Andrews is starting her second year of college in Seattle. She is happy to leave Chicago and her dysfunctional family behind to be with her friends again. Growing up she thought that her parents' loveless marriage was all her father’s fault, but that summer she discovered that things are so much more complicated in life and love. Her mother is bipolar. That doesn’t mean her father isn’t unfaithful, nor does he support her and her choices. Additionally, he isn't a great father or husband, but it brings a new perspective in her life; the way she envisions love.  
Derek Williams graduated college a few months ago, and while he moved back in again with his single mother and teenage brother, he never thought that he would be struggling with two crappy jobs. He is not succeeding in either of his jobs or in his countless plans for the future. Instead, he’s trying to bring back his brother and set him on a straight path, while trying to avoid the wrong crowd hounding him, thanks to his brother. Together with fighting his mother on her lack of support in their family, this all has caused chaos.  
“Yes, my life is a fucking mess. I have nothing for that girl who deserves everything, and yet I still can’t just sit on my ass and wait for the next asshole to pursue her.‘' — DEREK  
Both of them are very different. Their upbringing is opposite; their vision of love and life contrast, and yet … 
“I want to open up to it, open up to the possibility of heartbreak even if I’m scared to death. I’m ready to change up.'' — KATE  
They’re both still hung up on each other. They can’t forget that one night they shared months ago, can’t ignore their attraction and quickly maturing love. They match in every way that matters, but time and time again their respective families are getting in the way.  
"He’s the commitment kind while I’m anti-commitment." — KATE  
Are they willing to fight for each other? Is Kate ready to risk her comfort and everything else for love? Is Derek prepared to chose which battles are worth fighting for?  
“It’s never been friendship, and it’ll never be.’’ — DEREK

5 Star Review from Cheree

SIGH.....it's perfect!! I loved this book so much! So many painful parts, but it was absolutely perfect and beautiful!! I adored Patch Up even tho it was so hard and painful to read what Skye went through, but I fell in love with Skye and Duke, so I could not have been more excited for this book!

Just weeks after tragedy struck and Duke saved Skye from the unimaginable, is where Fix Up starts off. They have so much to work through and the struggles and emotions they have to face and deal with will either break them or save them. So much emotion and strength and even weakness in the situations they have to overcome. I appreciate everything the author must have experienced writing this amazing, emotional and absolutely Fantastic book! And I love love love the way it ended. Perfect!! Simply wonderful.

5 Star Review from Cheree
I was so lucky and got an early copy of this amazing and fun story! All these characters are so relate-able and loveable! So fun and quirky, I found that I have a few funny words and silly antics in common with them. Plus I love some of the same books they love!!

This book starts with Scout, trying to find a place to read a letter from her best friend, her grandma that has just passed. Signs of the un-ordinary are everywhere, but just 2 lines in is all she makes it before the bomb is dropped. Everything is about to change, can Scout handle it? She leaves for college and hopes to find some answers. But with answers come more questions. She meets Val, her new roommate who couldn't be better matched for her, and some new friends that are just what she needs. I can't really go into much more without giving away so much greatness, but I have just one word.....Pierce ;)I also love that at the end, you get a nice clean wrap up, with expectations for another book to come, without that feeling of incompleteness. Amazing first book for an up and coming author! I can't wait for more!

Interview with Author Delphina Henley

1. What was the transition like from award winning blogger to author?
I've pretty much always been an author. I wrote stories as a kid and wrote "books" in notebooks as a teen. You know all the basic cliches. That was me. I am just now brave enough to share it with the world. Took a few decades. The blogging and writing both came from the same place in my heart. The love of reading. To be honest, I still haven't wrapped my head around the fact that I am an award winning blogger.

2. Is Unless You Can Be A Unicorn a stand alone?
Absolutely. While this is the first in a series, each book focuses on a different character.

3. Do you have a current WIP and if so can you tell us about it?
I am currently working on Tell Me About Your Unicorn, which is Val's story.

4. You are a wife, mother, blogger and now author. How do you balance all that? When do you find the time to write?
I am not sure I balance it all, but I try to. My hubby is an amazing support and without him I would be dropping the ball all the time. School days during nap time and weekends are my big writing times and I am a night time reader. Somehow it all seems to get done. Well, mostly done.

5. What authors influence you the most?
I think my first and biggest influence is Madeline L'engle. She was the first author that had me fangirling. I wish I had gotten a chance to meet her. She seemed like such an amazing woman. When my writing style was compared to hers by an early reader I was overcome with emotion. It is one of the biggest compliments I have ever received. As far as more contemporary authors, I think Addison Moore, Jessica Sorensen, Mary Ting, and Elizabeth Kirke would probably be my most influential. They are amazing woman, fabtabulous writers, and I have embarrassingly fangirled them all with lack of words and everything.

Delphina Henley has always been a unicorn. Attracted to the worlds of words and unique magical creatures from a very early age, she's made reading a full time career. In January 2012 she founded her blog Delphina Reads Too Much. Since then, she's worked with countless authors through the writing, revising and release processes, learning about the craft and business 'til her head and heart were bursting with an absolute need to bring this story into the world.

When she's not writing or reading, Delphina can be found playing with her four kids and her husband back home at Michigan. Even her one year old is addicted to books. And of course, they all love unicorns.

Title : Tyler's Undoing

Author: LP Dover

Publisher: Books by LP Dover LLC

Published: October 3, 2014

ASIN: B00O6HC9ZC

TYLER'S UNDOING blurb:

She was what he wanted … but she was also his undoing.

Through mutual understanding, Tyler’s secret affair with Gabriella Reynolds has come to an end. It’s a decision that not only saves their friendship, but it’s one that will change his life forever.

For the past couple of years, Tyler Rushing has been known as one of the UFC’s most memorable and sexy heavyweight fighters. Now he has the chance to win the title and claim the fame he so deserves. He has everything he could ever want until Kacey Andrews walks through the door of his gym, wanting nothing to do with him. Keeping his eyes off of her is a challenge; there’s an innocence about her that draws him to her, and he’s not going to stop until he makes her his. Little does he know that Kacey Andrews isn’t a stranger. She’s a part of his world; he just doesn’t know it. It’s a secret she’s worked hard to keep hidden.

Kacey spent years trying to get away from the fighting world, away from the man who’s hated among the MMA elite … her brother, Kyle Andrews. Unfortunately, she’s brought back into it when Tyler’s relentless battle for her heart wins her over, drawing her in. The only problem is that secrets never stay buried forever. In the end, Tyler has a decision to make, and it’s one that can possibly destroy his and Kacey’s life … forever.

Meet Tyler Rushing & Kacey Andrews.



EXCERPT:

Down the hall, I saw Gabriella, dressed in a white sundress with her long, dark hair pulled high into a ponytail.

What the fuck? Tell me she’s not knocking on Tyler’s door.

My stomach coiled into knots and I held my breath as I waited on whoever was behind the door to answer. Please don’t let it be Tyler. Slowly, the door opened just a crack and when I saw who was there I gritted my teeth tight, the pain exploding into my head. It was Tyler, wearing only a white towel around his waist. Blood boiling, I watched as he opened the door and she walked in, kissing him on the cheek as she passed.

Frozen in place, I clenched my hands into tight fists and felt the anger boil through my veins. Before Tyler shut the door, he stopped and slowly directed his attention to me. Immediately, he glanced into his room and then back at me, wide-eyed and shaking his head. “Kacey, no,” he shouted. “It’s not what you think.”

Turning on my heel, I glared at him one more time over my shoulder before taking off down the hall.

“Kacey, stop! Please, beautiful . . .”

I didn’t stop; I kept going. The last thing I wanted was to be made a fool of in front of everyone—possibly people who knew my brother and who could recognize me. Instead, I kept running in hopes of getting as far away as I could, away from Tyler’s voice screaming my name.

Looking back, I didn’t see him behind of me, but when I turned around, I ran right into a set of arms that closed tightly around my waist.

“Kacey, what the hell are you doing here?”

Immediately, I froze and glanced up into the same set of sea green eyes I used to look at almost every day of my life. “Paxton,” I breathed.

Tyler shouted my name and Paxton instinctively held me tighter, protectively.  “What’s going on?” he demanded, glaring down at me.

He looked like he was about to leave anyway since he was dressed in a black T-shirt and jeans with his bag slung over his shoulder. Quickly, I pushed him toward one of the doors. “I can explain, but first, I need you to get me out of here.”

“Is that Rushing calling after you?”

“Yes, now let’s go!”

Keeping his arm around me, he rushed me toward the door and out into the heat-filled night. What the hell was I going to do now?

Unless You Can Be A Unicorn   Cover Reveal From Delphina Henley

Delphina is super stoked to be sharing her cover reveal with the world & 2 Girls & A Book is excited to be a part of it.

"Thank you so much for letting me share my cover on your blog. I am so beyond excited. Cartwheels may have been involved. Ok, I am over forty, imaginary cartwheels were involved, but they felt legit ;) ."

~ Delphina

Regina, of Mae I Design, out did herself again with this cover. She managed to capture exactly what I had envisioned and Kimberly Tallman is a perfect Scout. I am about to get gushy and boring so without further ado, here is the wrap with the official blurb.               ~ Delphina


Unless You can Be A Unicorn, is set to release on Oct. 12, 2014. Delphina will be posting teasers and more on her FB page throughout the week.  Make sure you pop over!
