Book Tour & Giveaway ~ Unbreakable Bonds - The General's Daughter Series by Breanna Hayse


Unbreakable
Bonds
The
General's Daughter Series Book 9
by
Breanna Hayse

Genre:
Contemporary Romance 

Aquaman
fans!

Your
favorite Marine biologist is back in one of the most emotional and
heart-moving books of the series.
****
The
Generals' house is full as Sam and Michael's birthday (and other
romantic surprises) approaches. Teagan's visiting family is
introduced to a world that's quite different than their Kentucky
horse ranch--one that contains miles of beautiful beaches, perfect
weather, and a killer whale who has a mind of his own. The visit
isn't without its difficulties as Teagan's over-critical father
brings the young woman's insecurities and pain to the surface. Seeing
the love of his life in distress isn't acceptable and Michael steps
up to prove that he's also her Knight in a shining Jag!

Little
does anyone know that, as everyone enjoys the waves and warm sun,
something terrible is happening deep in the trenches--and no one,
except Sam, can fix it. Toxic waste and pollution settled in the
canyons is threatening the survival of the endangered sharks, and the
delicate balance of life. She's called upon by the most unlikely
source and dives headfirst into danger to answer a cry for help. Her
compulsiveness not only lands her in a heap of trouble with her
parents, but also with Ton. The orca's fear for her safety results in
his banning her from her ocean home and cutting her off from the pod.
Feeling rejected and useless, Sam spirals into a dark, emotional
place inside her mind--a place where the love of her family and
Richard just isn't enough to heal her brokeness. She needs
acceptance, but can she trust them to embrace the truth of the
changes happening inside of her?

As
if the chaos of Teagan's family isn't enough, other factors enter
Sam's life that threaten to upset the precarious balance between her
two worlds. With the talk of babies, Scott's attraction to a certain
colonel, an unwelcome invasion of distant relatives, and feeling
responsible to protect the marine population, Sam finds herself
cornered and trapped. Tired of being disciplined for acting true to
her nature, she no longer knows where she belongs. Only one thing is
clear- she can't allow anyone, or anything, to suffer because of her,
and makes a decision that demands a price that she knows will break
her heart.

But
nothing can break the bonds she shares with her family--both on land
and in the sea. They teach her that, no matter how difficult life
seems to be, they will be drawn together to unite under a common
goal.

SNIVEL
WARNING!

BDSM/AP
lifestyler Breanna Hayse strives to give her readers truth and
reality of the BDSM/Age-Play/Total Power and Erotic Exchange
lifestyle.

Who
am I?
I'm
a native Californian gone 'wild', and had the opportunity to travel
the globe and discover the world through the eyes of both a Marine
Intelligence specialist and a BDSM lifestyler. I left the service to
go into hospice nursing and grief counseling, eventually working as a
marriage and family therapist for those involved in alternative
lifestyle development. This experience has allowed me to gain unique
inspiration for my books and offer realistic plots and relatable
characters.

In
2004, my husband, John, and I joined forces to work with both
submissives and dominants- teaching, training, listening and loving.
Our goal was to take the mystery and fear out of the lifestyle and
mentor people in safe, consensual and healthy relationships.

My
first book, The Game Plan, was published in 2012 and opened the door
to the now-booming world of Age-Play literature. Since that time,
I've devoted my 'spare' time to writing, researching, community
involvement, and private and group pro bono counseling in deviant
behavior, alternative lifestyle, and addiction recovery.

I
was formally 'dungeon trained' as a Domme before discovering my
submissive side when I joined the service. My scenarios are pulled
primarily from either personal experience or observation, including
spending time in BDSM clubs as the safety/medical officer. My
multi-faceted background allows me to glean from many avenues and
give a unique and intelligent literary experience through elements of
fantasy and fiction. I also discuss the questions and psychology of
the lifestyle in a manner that is fun and informative, and based on
'the real deal.'

I
live with my husband, musician, and fellow-author, John Hayse, and
two border collies in southern California. We practice a 24/7 D&S
relationship with speckles of AP (and many trips to Build-A-Bear),
and happily spend every moment together that we can. My hobbies
include my puppies, hiding my vanilla salt-water taffy where John
can't find it, exotic art, collecting inspirational trinkets, and
developing my own paddle line. You can also see me as a featured
author/instructor in professional conference settings and as a
Sexpert for kinkyliterature.com.

Book Blitz ~ The Meaning of Life by Robert Scollo


 photo The Meaning of Life_zpshcnzjlgl.jpg


Fiction, Suspense
Publisher: Xlibris

 photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

While change is in progress in James' life, terrorists give just 48 hours to agree to their demands. Is it too late to stop them?

The Shaw family have experienced insurmountable tragedy in their lives culminating in the sons’ mother wasting away from cancer and the father committing suicide because he can’t bear life without her. Whilst the son James is undergoing counselling, he too is confronted by another death which leads him to examine the meaning of life, and in total despair, he attempts to take his own. Whilst building the courage to do so, he is visited by an entity who encourages him to help save the world, which is rapidly destroying itself though pollution, climate change, over-population, and war.

The boy agrees, and progressively encourages the world leaders to participate in this change, sometimes by force, but not before he has to thwart terrorists who attempt to disrupt the inaugural conference of the world leaders, and then threaten the United States with nuclear warheads they have stolen from a Russian facility, giving them 48 hours to agree to their demands. The chase is on as the FBI attempt to locate these terrorists before the warheads are detonated. They travel half the globe to find them, but is it too late?



 Excerpt

There is a hint of anger in the Russian president’s face, although James can’t read his

mind.



‘I don’t care whether you want to help or not. I don’t give a shit, but I’ll give you

three possibilities on how this will go down. I can make you a puppet so that you

appear a fool in front of everyone. I kill you now and encourage your replacement to help, or you do this willingly. Which is your pleasure?’



‘I’m not going to be made a fool of, and I’m not going to help you.’



‘Fine!’



The president opens the right-hand top drawer of his desk, finds nothing, and opens

the drawer below. He reaches inside, pulls out a PSM pistol, and holds it to his head. The president’s eyes widen. He can feel his index finger beginning to press the trigger.

‘Wait, stop,’ pleads the president.



James let the president rest the gun on his desk.



‘OK, I promise I will help you.’



‘I am completely baffled as to why you are totally against helping change the

world for the good of mankind. I understand that the majority of your people love and worship you, but everyone else hates your guts. Others think you’re an arrogant tyrant, a liar, and a lowlife. Wouldn’t you rather be remembered as the greatest saviour of the world? A leader with the foresight and the passion to help his fellow man? I don’t care whether you take credit for the contribution you will make in helping the world but as long as you do it for the right reasons and not take advantage or manipulate those who are vulnerable and are trying to help.’



‘Yes, I understand what you are saying.’



‘I hope I can believe you because we will have no further discussions. If you lie

to me again, I will not give you another chance to plead for forgiveness. You will cease to be. You may consider this a threat, but I call it giving advice. Agree willingly, contribute positively, participate completely, and help change the world, and humankind will live a long and peaceful life, including your family, for generations to come.’



‘I still don’t understand why you are doing this. What’s in it for you?’



‘Nothing, nothing at all. I’m not in this for fame or gratitude, and I don’t want to

be mentioned outside the group. I’ve had a happy life, but I’ve also experienced great sorrow, so much sorrow that I wanted to end my life. The majority of the people on this planet know nothing but sorrow and hardship until they die. On the other hand, very few of them enjoy wealth and power and sometimes greed to the detriment of the poor and the environment. But no more. I want those people like you, with wealth and power, to contribute and help everyone and everything on this planet for its long-term survival and happiness. You may think that I’m a fool, but I know what’s coming even though you don’t believe it. The destruction of this planet will not come in our lifetime, but it’s not that far away. In two, three, or maybe four generations, we will have contributed to our own destruction to the point where change will not make a difference. We need to start changing now before it’s too late.’



About the Author


 photo The Meaning of Life Author Robert Scollo_zps96ycsjbv.jpg


Robert Scollo lives in Melbourne, Australia, and has just turned sixty. The Meaning of Life is this first book, and he hopes that it inspires people to help one another.

The author says, "Frustration. We are constantly frustrated when we hear how badly we treat one another. We whine and complain. We turn our backs when people ask for help, or we ignore famine and prosecution, or we abuse the environment and leave it barren and toxic, or we slaughter animals to extinction, but no one does anything about it because we’re a single voice in the wilderness. Apart from one impossible thing occurring in this novel, everything else is achievable. We just need enough of the right people to listen."

Robert hopes that more people than not will enjoy the book, and if they do, the main character James will return in a second novel.

To ALLISON RAINE, becoming a prima ballerina was nothing more than an illusion. But when the opportunity to realize her dream presents itself, she shuns the love and security of her billionaire family to obtain the one thing that fills her with purpose. 

To her boyfriend WILLIAM HOLT, success and prestige are everything—more than family, more than friends, more than the misdeeds of a past he’s buried. But when it all comes back to haunt him, he finds himself scrambling to secure a life that’s become a tornado of lies, danger, and heartache.

To her French colleague MAXIMUS DUBOIS, life is finally shaping up as he’d planned. He has everything he could ever hope for except the girl he can’t get out of his head. Captivated by Allison’s talent and beauty, he’s determined to claim her as more than just a dance partner. But his pursuit comes to a screeching halt once she’s captured by a fate she hoped to escape.

Seized by a verdict she can’t accept, Allison withdraws from everyone and everything that once gave her life meaning, and then succumbs to a darkness that consumes her whole. As she spirals deeper into the abyss, will anyone be there to guide her back to the light?

Release Blitz ~ Rowan Revived - A Novel by Taylor Danae Colbert

Today we have the release day blitz of ROWAN REVIVED by Taylor Danae Colbert! Check it out and be sure to grab your copy today!

Title: Rowan Revived

Author: Taylor Danae Colbert

Genre: Contemporary Romance

About Rowan Revived:

Miss Fix-It—that’s me. And when my sister and nephew are in danger, it’s my natural instinct to step in and get them out of Boston. The girl with the plan, always.

We land at the Rowan Inn—a charming bed-and-breakfast on the shores of the Chesapeake. A sweet little haven we’re hoping will bring us the peace we so desperately need.

Instead, it brings us Jesse Rowan, the gruff and grumpy son of the original owners. The same guy who is single-handedly sinking the Inn faster than an anchor in the bay. But we need a place to crash until I can figure out our next move, so I convince him to let us stay in exchange for help around the place.

At first, he’s rude, sarcastic, and standoffish. But after a few months of working around the Inn together, I realize he’s not as callous as he’d like us to think. And I realize that maybe the Inn isn’t the only project I want to take on. He needs some fixing, too.

But the Inn has to be just a pitstop for us. And as long as we’re on the run, Jesse Rowan can’t be my final destination.

Exclusive Excerpt:

“Can I help you?” he asks again.
“No, thanks. We’re just waiting for the owners. We need a room,” I say. Before he says anything, I glare at him. “You know, you almost killed us back there.”
He looks at me with a tilted head.
“You were in the middle of the damn intersection,” he says, nonchalantly, as he makes his way around to the cab of his truck. He pulls out a long piece of wood, and carries it toward the front porch.
“You had a stop sign,” I say.
“It’s a stop sign,” he says. “Not a stop-and-wait-for-an-hour sign.”
I roll my eyes.
“We have a kid, asshole,” I say. My language catches him off guard, and he looks at me through a side-eye.
“I see that. So you should probably drive more carefully,” he says, walking back toward the truck to grab another piece.
I hear Millie snort from behind me, and I glare at her.
“Whatever. We will just wait around back for them to get back,” I say, ushering Caleb and Millie along.
“That’s fine, but the owner is already here,” he calls from the cab of the truck. I freeze.
“They are? Where?” I ask. A sly smirk tugs at his lips.
“You’re lookin’ at him. Mr. Asshole, at your service,” he says, tipping his hat, then pulling it back on his head tightly.
“What?” I ask. He doesn’t reply, he just walks past me with another piece of wood.
“The website said that a couple owned it, Mr. and Mrs. Rowan?” Millie asks. His attitude changes a bit with Millie. He stands a little straighter, looks her in the eye a little longer. I see him studying the black-and-blue on her face, but he looks away quickly.
“They’re dead,” he says, walking back to the truck. “I own this shithole now.”
I look up at the house. I remember the photos on the website--clean, stunning, so well-kept. And now, here it is, in shambles, like a tarnishing piece of silver.
“Who are you?” I ask. He turns to me, wiping a bead of sweat onto his sleeve.
“Jesse Rowan,” he says.
“Rowan?” I ask.
“Rowan. Like the sign!” Caleb says. Jesse looks down at Caleb, who’s back to stroking the dog. That smile tugs at his lips again.
“Like the sign,” he says.

I
believe I was destined to be interested in history. One of my distant
ancestors, Thomas Aubert, reportedly sailed up the St. Lawrence River
to discover Canada some 26 years before Jacques Cartier's 1534
voyage. Another relative was a 17thCentury "King's Girl,"
one of a group of young unmarried girls sent to New France (now the
province of Quebec) as brides for the habitants (settlers) there. My
passion for reading made me long to write books like the ones I
enjoyed, and I tried penning sequels to my favorite Nancy Drew
mysteries. Later, fancying myself a female version of Andrew Lloyd
Weber, I drafted a musical set in Paris during WWII.


A
former journalist and lifelong Celtophile, I enjoyed a previous
career as a reporter/editor for a small chain of community newspapers
before returning to my first love, romantic fiction. My stories
usually include an Irish setting, hero or heroine, and sometimes all
three!

resident of Montreal, Canada, I still live there with my own Celtic
hero and our two teenaged children.

To
pilot the fleet’s finest ship…


Few
options remain for Byron. A talented but stubborn
young man with a troubled past and rebellious attitude, his
cockpit skills are his only hope. Slated to train as a Cosbolt
fighter pilot, Byron is determined to prove his worth and begin a new
life as he sets off for the moon base of Guaard.


Much
to Byron’s chagrin the toughest instructor in the fleet takes
notice of the young pilot. Haunted by a past tragedy, Bassa
eventually sees through Byron's tough exterior and insolence. When a
secret talent is revealed during training, Bassa feels compelled to
help Byron achieve his full potential.

As
war brews on the edge of space, time is running short. Byron requires
a navigator of exceptional quality to survive, and Bassa must

The
Vindicarn War is a distant memory and Byron’s days of piloting
Cosbolt fighters are over. He has kept the promise he made to his
fallen mentor and friend - to probe space on an exploration vessel.
Shuttle work is dull, but it’s a free and solitary existence. The
senior officer is content with his life aboard the Rennather.


The
detection of alien ruins sends the exploration ship to the distant
planet of Tgren. If their scientists can decipher the language, they
can unlock the secrets of this device. Is it a key to the Tgren’s
civilization or a weapon of unimaginable power? Tensions mount as
their new allies are suspicious of the Cassan’s technology and
strange mental abilities.


To
complicate matters, the Tgrens are showing signs of mental powers
themselves; the strongest of which belongs to a pilot named Athee, a
woman whose skills rival Byron’s unique abilities. Forced to train
her mind and further develop her flying aptitude, he finds his
patience strained. Add a reluctant friendship with a young scientist,
and he feels invaded on every level. All Byron wanted was his
privacy…

Tgrens and the Cassans.


After
enemy ships attack the desert planet, Byron discovers another battle
within his own family. The declaration of war between all ten races
triggers nightmares in his son, threatening to destroy the boy’s
mind.
