Cover Reveal Tour for AMERICA'S FIRST DAUGHTER by Stephanie Dray & Laura Kamoie +#giveaway

AMERICA’S FIRST DAUGHTER

by Stephanie Dray & Laura Kamoie

Releasing March 1st, 2016 from William Morrow

In a compelling, richly researched novel that draws from thousands of letters and original sources, bestselling authors Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie tell the fascinating, untold story of Thomas Jefferson’s eldest daughter, Martha “Patsy” Jefferson Randolph—a woman who kept the secrets of our most enigmatic founding father and shaped an American legacy.

From her earliest days, Martha “Patsy” Jefferson knows that though her father loves his family dearly, his devotion to his country runs deeper still. As Thomas Jefferson’s oldest daughter, she becomes his helpmate in the wake of her mother’s death, traveling with him when he becomes American minister to France. And it is in Paris, at the glittering court and among the first tumultuous days of revolution, that she learns of her father’s liaison with Sally Hemings, a slave girl her own age.

Patsy too has fallen in love—with her father’s protégé, William Short, a staunch abolitionist intent on a career in Europe. Heartbroken at having to decide between being William’s wife or a devoted daughter, she returns to Virginia with her father and marries a man of his choosing, raising eleven children of her own.

Yet as family secrets come to light during her father’s presidency, Patsy must again decide how much she will sacrifice to protect his reputation, in the process defining not just Jefferson’s political legacy, but that of the nation he founded.

A HARD INK SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM AUTHOR LAURA KAYE + #Giveaways

From the author of the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Hard Ink Series, comes a special announcement sure to excite readers everywhere! Don't miss what Laura Kaye has to say...

A Hard Ink Special Announcement from Laura Kaye!

As I celebrate the release last week of HARD TO LET GO, the finale in my Hard Ink romantic suspense series, I’m super excited to share some more news about Hard Ink!

I’m going to do another book in this series. And not just any book. I’m going to write a wedding novella for one of the couples in the series!! And I’m so flippin’ excited!!!

This is how the idea came about:

I happened to see another author celebrating the release of a follow-up wedding book, and I’ve never written any follow-up stories about any of my characters—once they’ve gotten their happily ever afters in their original story, I just moved right on to the next couple. But that author’s book got me thinking about who I would even do a follow-up story on.

Who is it that would get married? My initial thoughts went right to the Hard Ink series, of course, because I’ve been immersed in this world for the past two years and absolutely adore these characters.

Seriously – I know many of us have joked about the title of the last book being apropos, and trust me when I say I’m feeling that, too. I want more Hard Ink myself. And then I had to ask – which couple? My gut instinct was to say Nick and Becca. They started the series, have been together the longest, and the personal issues they each have and struggles they each face are less than some of the other characters. BUT… But then my brain started to think about all the other couples. And as I thought through all of them, I could make a case why any of the Hard Ink couples might be the first to get married.

And that’s where YOU come in.

I can’t decide which couple to write.

I could make the argument for Nick and Becca for all the reasons above. I could make the argument that Shane would be eager to take care of Sara in every way he can. I could make the argument that Easy and Jenna’s bond would be so tight because of the hell Easy’s come through and him having saved Jenna’s life. Marz has never wanted anything more than a family, so I could see him being eager to make Emilie his forever. Jeremy and Charlie had the bond of best friends before becoming lovers, and I could see the two of them wanting to prove the depth of their love by committing to forever. And Kat so knocked Beckett on his ass that I could see him wanting to hold her tight and, well, never let go – and finally have a family that valued him.

So, yeah, I can’t decide!

Which means you guys get to.

For real.

I’m letting you pick.

Have you read and met all the Hard Ink couples yet? If not, now’s the time!

Because between now and July 31, you get to vote on which couple gets the bonus wedding novella.

Eeep! Can you believe it? I’m nervous! And excited! And eeep!

Whoever wins, the book will be called 

HARD EVER AFTER and will release January 19, 2016.

How freaking awesome is that title, by the way?

I’ve been giggling over it for months! *winks*

Down below, I’ve got some wedding invitations for you to share around to encourage other readers to vote for the couple you want. So grab your favorite couple’s invitations and help spread the word! You can also grab one of the smaller avatar images for your Facebook and Twitter avatars. Have fun with it and vote, vote, vote!

Hard to Let Go on Goodreads

Five dishonored soldiers.

Former Special Forces.

One last mission.

These are the men of Hard Ink.

Beckett Murda hates to dwell on the past. But his investigation into the ambush that killed half his Special Forces team and ended his Army career gives him little choice. Just when his team learns how powerful their enemies are, hard-ass Beckett encounters his biggest complication yet—a seductive, feisty Katherine Rixey.

A tough, stubborn prosecutor, Kat visits her brothers’ Hard Ink Tattoo shop following a bad break-up—and finds herself staring down the barrel of a stranger’s gun. Beckett is hard-bodied and sexy as hell, but he’s also the most infuriating man ever. Worse, Kat’s brothers are at war with the criminals her office is investigating. When Kat joins the fight, she lands straight in Beckett’s sights . . . and in his arms. Not to mention their enemies’ crosshairs.

Now Beckett and Kat must set aside their differences to work together, because the only thing sweeter than justice is finding love and never letting go.

EXCERPT: 
Taking a deep breath, Beckett knocked on the door. 
No answer.
He turned the knob, and the door opened. 
“Go away,” came a strained voice.
Beckett poked his head through the opening. Kat sat in a ball in the corner, her legs pulled up to her chest, her arms hugging herself tight.
“Aw, Jesus, Beckett. Really?” Her face was splotchy and her eyes watery, though he didn’t see any tears.
Ten-to-one she was going through some adrenaline letdown right now, too. Which no doubt made it all worse. That shit could fuck you up even when you were used to how it left you feeling drained and shaky, by how all the stress you’d suppressed during the height of the crisis boomeranged twice over after the fact.
He came into the room, closed the door, and turned the lock for good measure. And then he crossed to Kat, scooped his arms under her knees and behind her back and lifted her up against him.
She smacked his chest. “Put me down.”
“No.” He moved to the edge of the bed.
“I don’t need this right now, Beckett. Put me down.”
“Yes, you do,” he said, sitting on the edge of the mattress. He pulled her face in against his throat and smoothed her hair back from her cheek. She trembled against him, just the littlest bit, her skin hot to the touch. He pressed a kiss to her forehead and hugged her tighter. “You did good, kid.”
Every one of her muscles went tight. Her hand fisted in his shirt. And her breath caught as she buried her face against his neck and shoulder.
Then Kat burst out crying.
And it was like being torn apart and put back together, all at once. He hated her pain, but he adored that she wasn’t hiding herself from him, and that she was letting him be there for her.
He didn’t shush her, or try to talk her down, or encourage her to dry her eyes. To be sure, her tears were like daggers in his heart—they hurt like fucking hell. But the only way she was going to feel better was to let this shit out. Ironic realization for him—he did actually see that. But just because you could see what was good for others didn’t mean you had the first goddamned idea how to apply those principles in your own life. And that was a problem for another time anyway.
What mattered right now was Kat. What mattered … was Kat.

Unwrapping a Review of HARD TO LET GO, a Hard Ink novel by Laura Kaye

I have to admit to being slightly sad about reading the last book in the Hard Ink series by Laura Kaye because I love this group of characters so much but if it had to end, it couldn’t have ended better than with HARD TO LET GO. This title says it all because this series is most definitely hard to let go.

***eARC provided by publisher via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest and unscripted review

Blurb for HARD TO LET GO:

Five dishonored soldiers.

Former Special Forces.

One last mission.

These are the men of Hard Ink.

Beckett Murda hates to dwell on the past. But his investigation into the ambush that killed half his Special Forces team and ended his Army career gives him little choice. Just when his team learns how powerful their enemies are, hard-ass Beckett encounters the biggest complication yet—seductive, feisty Katherine Rixey.

A tough, stubborn prosecutor, Kat visits her brothers’ Hard Ink Tattoo following a bad break-up—and finds herself staring down the barrel of a stranger’s gun. Beckett is hard-bodied and sexy as hell, but he’s also the most infuriating man ever. Worse, Kat’s brothers are at war with criminals her office is investigating. When Kat joins the fight, she lands straight in Beckett’s sights—and his arms. Not to mention their enemies’ crosshairs.

Now Beckett and Kat must set aside their differences to work together, because the only thing sweeter than justice is finding love and never letting go. 

~*~            ~*~              ~*~              ~*~               ~*~

If you’ve been following this series than you already know that each of the men of Hard Ink carry some deep secret that in some manner eats away at them and for most, it stems from what happened to them when their commander and fellow members of their A-team unit were killed on a rural road in Afghanistan. For Beckett Murda there is more than the guilt of having survived, and his best friend sacrificing his leg to save his life…for Beckett, his torture goes deeper and stronger than anyone imagined. As if Shane’s guilt over his sister’s disappearance and Easy’s confession to the team of thoughts of suicide wasn’t enough to crush my heart and bring tears to my eyes, Beckett’s pain goes back to his childhood.

Kat Rixey is certainly as tough and as smart as her brothers are but when an ex-boyfriend gets too rough with her, she heads to where she knows she will be safe even if she doesn’t disclose why. She and Beckett immediately butt heads. Not even sure that she likes the tall, dark, handsome, and silent type represented by the over-protective linebacker who pointed a gun at her the first time he saw her, she can’t ignore the draw she feels toward him even as she keeps her own secrets.

From the very beginning of this series, I kept hoping Beckett Murda would get his happily-ever-after ending too because I could somehow feel that inside that big, burly, scarred, and menacing looking exterior there was a teddy bear of a man lurking inside. I was so right and I couldn’t be happier for Beckett and Kat. There story is steamy hot, heart-wrenching, edge of the seat action-packed, and sexy has hell! 

What’s revealed in this story is not only the end of the investigation that has threatened all of those at Hard Ink, but also the dark secrets Beckett has kept hidden deep within him. Secrets he had not even dared tell his best friend, Derek Marza. I honestly thought that Laura couldn’t make my heart ache for one of her characters more than it ached for the pain Easy Cantrell was carrying, but I lost count of how many times I cried while reading HARD TO LET GO. I don’t think I was a third of the way through the book before Beckett had in me in tears. Can a story get any more amazing?

Yes, it can. I’m not going to give away details, I’m not going to spoil it for anyone because I want everyone to read this book and this series, if you haven’t already. Yeah, I have to admit that everything happens in a very short amount of time. The characters fall in love unrealistically fast but hey, it’s romance and it’s fiction so I highly recommend suspending reality and indulging in the world of Hard Ink. This group of characters will keep you smiling, laughing, gasping, clinging to the edge of your seat, crying, fanning yourself, and falling in love.

HARD TO LET GO, book four of the Hard Ink series by Laura Kaye is the perfect ending to an amazing mission and the best happily-ever-after that could ever be conjured for an amazing group of characters who only deserve the best that love can bring them. I highly recommend HARD TO LET GO by Laura Kaye because it’s JUST THAT GOOD and shouldn’t be missed by anyone who loves strong, charismatic characters, a great storyline, and feeling as if you’re part of the team, and falling in love right alongside Beckett and Kat.

Happy Reading Everyone!

Tomorrow is release day for this amazing last book of the series. I hope you’ll come back and join me in the celebration.

HARD TO LET GO, a Hard Ink novel by Laura Kaye, Avon Romance, release date – June 30, 2015, in print and ebook formats at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kobobooks.
