THE REST OF MY LIFE – A beautiful #Giveaway #tw4rw #Books #IARTG #BYNR #BookPlugs

Did you notice I’m touring? In the capable hands of Brook Cottage Books, The Rest of My Life is on its final leg of a five day tour. Did you manage to catch the reviews, leave a comment? It’s not too late! August 7 is the very last day – and the prizes are … Well, let’s put it this way, I’m reluctant to part with them.

THE PRIZES!

First of all, we have a gorgeous handmade red rose in a bottle with a scrolled tied message: The Rest of My Life. No spoilers, but the single red rose does feature in the story, which Adam delivers with his usual, not-quite-got-it-right style.

Secondly, we have this beautiful handmade ceramic flower pendant.


Aren’t they divine? Yours for grabbing. Just check out my Twitter feed @sherylbrowne or check out the Brook Cottage Books Tweets for The Rest of My Life @BrookCottageBks

With huge thanks to Brook Cottage Books and all of those lovely bloggers who have worked so hard for me, here’s a wee snippet of two of the stunning reviews so far:

“When I finished this book I told Sheryl her book had left me with a smile on my face, and she told me that my smile was probably there because of Adam. OK, that’s true up to a point – but this was also a really fantastic read, sheer enjoyment from beginning to end that I bet you won’t be able to put down either.” Being Anne…

“There are some fantastic sex scenes in this book, although I’m not 100% positive whether it was the heatwave while I was reading this, or the scenes that were making me hot and bothered! I loved The Rest of My Life, and I finished it with a huge smile on my face.” Rachel’s Random Reads

I’ll leave you with the blurb. I hope you get chance to take a look at some of the other reviews and take part in the Giveaway.


The Rest of My Life

“You can’t run away from commitment forever … “
Adam Hamilton-Shaw has more reason than most to avoid commitment. Living on a houseboat in the Severn Valley, his dream is to sail into the sunset – preferably with a woman waiting in every port. But lately, his life looks more like a road to destruction than an idyllic boat ride…

Would-be screenplay writer Sienna Meadows realises that everything about Adam spells trouble – but she can’t ignore the feeling that there is more to him than just his bad reputation. Nor can she ignore the intense physical attraction that exists between them.

And it just so happens that Adam sees Sienna as the kind of woman he could commit to. But can he change his damaging behaviour – or is the road to destruction a one-way street?


Keep safe all!

Lots of love,

Out Now! The Reckoning Tide by Anneli Purchase #Giveaway #LLm @anneli33

Free!


I can’t resist sharing this, particularly as I have read the book and love it! Please find my review here. I can promise you a compelling read.

If you have not read The Wind Weeps, grab your free digital copy now on amazon or on smashwords. Follow it up with the conclusion to Andrea’s story in Reckoning Tide.




Here is a sample of the beginning of Reckoning Tide.

You’re mine!
To have,
To hold,
No matter how hard.
You’re mine!
Give me honour,
Obey,
And do as you’re told.
You’re mine!
In sickness,
My sickness,
Comes hell.
You’re mine!
This day forward,
’Til death,
Do us part.

Chapter 1

“Nurse!” I screamed. “Nurse, come back!” Robert’s smile vanished. He advanced and tossed the three orchids onto the foot of my bed.
I twisted around grasping for the cord with the call button. “Get away from me!” I hit the button frantically.
Robert lunged at me. “No, Andrea. Don’t!” He ripped the cord away from me. I pulled my fist back to punch him, but he was quick and caught my wrist in an iron grip. His eyes narrowed into slits.
“Nurse!” I yelled again. He clamped a hand over my mouth. Flashbacks of what that hard hand had done to me went through my mind. I bit down on his fingers, my terror lending me extra strength.
“Arrrgh! You bitch!” Robert’s eyes grew wide. He stared at me with a glassy look that I remembered too well. He drew his arm across his chest to backhand me, but dropped it when the nurse appeared.
“What’s going on here?” the nurse demanded. Margaret was a hefty woman. She filled most of the doorway as she stood with her hands on her hips. “Sir! Come away from the bed.”
“She bit me!” he said, unable to keep the whine out of his voice. “I brought her flowers—orchids, her favourite kind—and she bit me!”
I gasped at his outrageous boldfaced ploy, twisting the truth. “He tried to kill me. Don’t let him near me. He’s the one I told you about.”
“Now, Andrea.” Robert’s voice, silky smooth, sent ripples of terror up my spine. “You know that’s not true.” He turned to the nurse and slowly shook his head. “I’m her husband. You see, she’s had quite a shock. We had an argument and she set fire to our cabin and ran away when she thought I had died in the fire. I guess she’s surprised to see that I’m still alive.”
The nerve of him! I tried to get out of bed. “No! No-no-no!” I had to get the nurse to believe me. “He’s twisting it all around. He tried to kill me.”
The nurse was quick to put her hand out. “Stay in bed, Andrea.” She looked flustered and tried to calm us both. But no wonder she was confused. The whole situation was so bizarre. She looked from Robert to me and back to Robert again.
Would she side with Robert?
“Sir,” she said, “would you mind going to the waiting room down the hall? I’m sure the RCMP would like to speak with you, too. They’ll be here soon to interview Andrea.”
Robert raised his chin and gave me a smirk. “That was fast,” he said. “We’ll soon get to the bottom of the situation then.”
The nurse escorted him out the door. “We called them this morning when she woke up,” I heard her say as they walked down the hall.
The nurse had explained to me earlier that the police have to make a report in cases where there has been violence, especially since a gun was found in my fanny pack. The gun I pointed at him last week. Should have pulled the damn trigger.

The Rest of my Life, my contemporary romance recommended to Choc Lit by WH Smith Travel fiction buyer, Matt Bates, is here!

Isn't that cover just dreamy?
I’m thrilled and relieved (and extremely grateful) that the book is getting some fabulous reviews. I just have to share a little of this one, which had me chuckling to myself – disconcertingly for my partner as we happened to be tucked up bed when I spotted it. What? Doesn’t everyone tweet between the sheets?

“THIS Choc Lit book will have you giggling a bit, crying a LOT (I love books that spot up my glasses with projectile tears), and falling in love with a damaged commitment-phob PRAT who just wants to love and be loved (don’t we all?).” – Double-EdgedWords

This one had me smiling all over my face too:

“What took me really by surprise: This book is ‘HOT! HOT! HOT!’ A steamy, heart-pounding romance, with two characters that you will root for from the beginning.” – oldvictorianquill

To celebrate, I’m pulling out the stops and taking part in the The Kindle Book Review Midsummer’s Dream Giveaway, giving readers a chance to win a Kindle Fire 6" HD just in time for those late summer hols!
