Blog Tour! Excerpt & Giveaway for Lorraine Heath's Falling into Bed with a Duke

I'm thrilled to be taking part in the blog tour for Lorraine Heath's Falling into Bed with a Duke ! This is actually my first time featuring an adult historical romance book on the blog, which is actually quite surprising because I am obsessed with the genre. I started branching out into reading historical romance books only a few years ago, and now it's an addiction I have no intention of stopping anytime soon. This week has been absolutely amazing for new historical romance books: Lisa Kleypas's Cold-Hearted Rake , Eva Leigh's Scandal Takes the Stage , Gayle Callen's The Wrong Bride ... and, of course, Lorraine Heath's Falling into Bed with a Duke . How am I ever going to decide which one to read first!? (Okay, okay, I know it will definitely be Falling into Bed with a Duke .

Waiting on Wednesday - Kill the Boy Band by Goldy Moldavsky

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine spotlighting upcoming releases we're eagerly anticipating.   Release Date: February 23, 2016 Publisher: Scholastic/Point Add to Goodreads Summary (from Goodreads):   From debut author Goldy Moldavsky, the story of four superfan friends whose devotion to their favorite boy band has darkly comical and murderous results. Okay, so just know from the start that it wasn't supposed to go like this. All we wanted was to get near The Ruperts, our favorite boy band. We didn't mean to kidnap one of the guys. It kind of, sort of happened that way. But now he's tied up in our hotel room. And the worst part of all, it's Rupert P. All four members of The Ruperts might have the same first name, but they couldn't be more different. And Rupert P. is the biggest flop out of the whole group. We didn't mean to hold hostage a member of The Ruperts, I swear. At least, I didn't. We are fans. Okay, su...
