Release Day Blitz: Here With Me by Alla Kar
Here With Me (Together #2)
by Alla
Kar
Release Date: 10/28/14
Swoon Romance
Summary from Goodreads:
JADEN BAKER is stoked
about college, new friends, and a second chance to erase the memory of being
bullied through high school. But moving on comes with a price. Her dad has made
arrangements for her to move into her brother’s apartment so her brother can
watch over her like she was a baby. But there's a glitch in her dad's plans.
There are also two roommates living in the apartment too. Suddenly, living in
an off campus apartment with three college-aged boys seems like a bad idea --
but not to Jaden. After all, Cade is pretty damn hot, making the whole forced
living arrangement and new baby-sitter a little more tolerable.
CADE JENKINS grew up on the opposite side of the tracks from his best-friend and his privileged little sister. His dad bailed when he was a kid, and he can't help but still care for his drug-addicted mother. But things are looking up. He's met someone. Too bad she's his best-friend's fresh out of high-school, inexperienced little sister. Awkward!
Just when it looks like things might be changing for the better, Jaden finds herself battling severe depression and a broken heart when her high school bully targets her once again. Cade, who'd love to pick up the pieces and make her whole, must fight his own demons and family trouble.
If only they didn't find themselves falling irrevocably in love.

Excerpt
I
sigh and step out of the Beemer. This is where rich parents send
their children for college. I don’t know how much the rent is, but
I know it’s a butt load. Dad doesn’t think twice when Adam asks
for money, or me. It’s like second nature to hand over wads of
cash. It means he is taking care of his children. More like bribing
them, but whatever helps him sleep at night.
I
follow him up the three flights of stairs to the fourth floor. There
is music vibrating from the other side.
Dad
raps his knuckles roughly against the door.
He
knocks louder, grumbling underneath his breath. His arm flies up, and
he glances at his watch. He’s sweating in his damn suit. Only my
dad would wear a suit to help his daughter move. Not that we have to
actually do any moving.
Dad
pulls out his cell. I figure he’s calling Adam, but it goes
straight to voicemail. “Damn it,” he grumbles before pounding his
fist against the door. “Open the door, Adam!” he yells.
I
play with a dark curl hanging against my shoulder and bite my lip to
keep from laughing. A bead of sweat drops from Dad’s upper lip.
Then the door swings open and my eyes snap upward.
Holy
Shit.
My.
God.
A
shiver shoots down my spine as I drink in everything that’s
standing in front of me. He has dark brown hair that’s standing up
like a woman has recently been raking her hands through it. My eyes
drag down his body over each lean, long muscle. Tattoos cover his
torso, from a long, tribal tattoo to something peeking out of his
low-rise sweats, to a cluster of them along his other arm. Jesus
Christ.
Something
settles in my lower stomach, and I squeeze my thighs together to keep
the heat in. Is
this a dream? Are we at the right apartment? We have to have the
wrong apartment. I
glance at the door.
306.
Nope,
right apartment.
Dad
makes a disgusted snort and waves his hand in front of him. It isn’t
long before I smell why. Either a skunk died in their apartment or
they’re smoking weed.
“I’m
looking for Adam.”
My
eyes settle on his dimples—of
course, he has dimples—and
then move with him as he rests against the doorframe.
“Adam
Baker?” he asks. His voice sends another roll of lava under my skin
while my toes curl in my Dolce & Gabbana suede, knee-high boots.
Damn.
Dad’s
teeth grind together. “Yes, my son. Is he here?”
Pursing
his thick, pink lips, he strokes the scruff on his jaw with a long
finger. Dad seems uneasy. “Adam. Hmm, Adam.”
His
gaze drifts over to me for the first time, and my sex clenches.
Lifting a brow, he rakes his eyes from my hair to my toes. I squeeze
my already curled feet into my shoes. What.
The. Hell?
Dad
snaps his fingers in front of his face, and he drops his
“I’m-taking-all-your-clothes-off-in-my-head-right-now” look.
“Is Adam here?”
He
smiles—God,
he smiles—and
I bite my tongue. He’s making fun of my dad, and I can’t help but
grin. “Yeah, he’s in the living room.”
Dad
pushes his way in. I wait in the hall unsure of what to do and
fighting the urge to drink him in again. When I do look his left hand
is wrapped around the top of the doorframe, and he leans toward me.
His dark eyes penetrate me, and I’m trying not to lap like a dog
from the heat of it.
“You
can come in. I won’t bite you, Princess,” he whispers before his
tongue darts out of the side of his mouth. “But no promises about
licking.”

Release Day Blitz: Love and Other Unknown Variables by Shannon Alexander
Love and Other Unknown Variables
Release Date: 10/07/14
Entangled Teen
Summary from Goodreads:
Charlie Hanson has a clear vision of his future. A senior at Brighton School of Mathematics and Science, he knows he’ll graduate, go to MIT, and inevitably discover solutions to the universe’s greatest unanswered questions. He’s that smart. But Charlie’s future blurs the moment he reaches out to touch the tattoo on a beautiful girl’s neck.
The future has never seemed very kind to Charlotte Finch, so she’s counting on the present. She’s not impressed by the strange boy at the donut shop—until she learns he’s a student at Brighton where her sister has just taken a job as the English teacher. With her encouragement, Charlie orchestrates the most effective prank campaign in Brighton history. But, in doing so, he puts his own future in jeopardy.
By the time he learns she's ill—and that the pranks were a way to distract Ms. Finch from Charlotte’s illness—Charlotte’s gravitational pull is too great to overcome. Soon he must choose between the familiar formulas he’s always relied on or the girl he’s falling for (at far more than 32 feet per second squared).
