There are two giveaways for Ruby Red that will end on the 25th: A signed paperback and some gift certificates. You can find the details HERE.
And now for the good stuff. It's all over the board... which once I think about it, that's the norm. It just seemed more scattered this time around because I wasn't sure what I wanted to read. Here lately, unless I see the cover with the title, I've been just skimming as I look through the books. Titles are a big thing when book searching. I should probably blog about catchy titles but I think it's already been done. :)

When Abby Bailey meets former model and actor, Airen Holder, in a darkened department store, romance is the last thing on her mind. A plague has decimated the population, leaving Abby to raise her son alone in a world without electricity, clean water, or medical care. Her only priority is survival.
Traumatized by the horror of the past months, Abby and Airen become a source of comfort for one another. Damaged by her past and convinced Airen is out of her league, Abby is determined to keep their relationship platonic. However, Airen is a hard man to resist, especially after he risks his life to save hers.
When a man named Joseph falls unconscious in their yard, and Abby nurses him back to health, everything changes. How does love differ in this new post apocalyptic world? Can three unlikely survivors live long enough to find their place in it?

Author(s): Pepper Winters
Length:
Publisher:
Genre: Romance / Contemporary / Enemies to Lovers /
Notes: Releases in July 2016
Blurb: From the New York Times Bestseller Pepper Winters comes a snarky standalone full of romance.
They say the key to a good relationship is one with no drama.
They say you’re not trying hard enough or married the wrong person if you fight. Sorry, but I call bulls***.
I’ve had plenty of relationships: some sweet, some happy, most an utter failure.
Until I met Harriet.
Our first conversation was an argument. Our second conversation was an argument. Our entire connection was based on…yep, an argument. We tore up the rules of chance encounters and polite first meeting etiquette. And after the week I’d had, I was ready for a punch-up. Hell, I craved one. And Harriet was there to antagonise me.
The first time we met, we spent every hour from dusk to dawn, arguing. And when the sun rose, neither of us wanted to stop.
Because there was something so refreshing about being honest. Saying exactly what you thought. Picking faults just because you itched to fight.
It was only supposed to be one night. A night where the town was our battlefield, the clubs a microphone to our bickering, and the stars a listener to our squabbles.
Only…I wasn’t ready to say goodbye.
You see, arguing turned out to be the best damn thing I’d ever experienced.
So, instead of agreeing to the terms we’d set, I revoked them. I went home with her. I refused to leave. And our argument turned into something so much more than a random quarrel. It turned into war and our love wasn’t sweet…it was hostile.
