Do you know what it's like to win an Olympic gold, then have it stripped away? I do.

Gold is every figure skater's life dream. At fifteen, I experienced the thrill of wearing the medal for a few minutes until judges accuse me of being too young to be eligible. That's when I realize my father's ultimate lie could cost more than my title.

During our daring escape from Russia, I pressure my coach to tell the truth about my adoption. But the quad combination and two world titles aren't enough to keep the scandal from erasing my career and identity. Disgraced, disqualified, and devastated, I can't face a rink, fans, or daily life. My controlling dad's betrayal lights a fire to break free from his bad decisions. My best friend and a journalist who will tell my story step in to stop the downward spiral and help me uncover my past.

The story of Docia's fierce determination to discover her true identity, unerase her career, and find the passion to skate again will engage teen readers, figure skating fans, and anyone who's ever experience betrayal from someone close.

#CoverReveal: Oldest Mom on the Playground by @judyhaveson @RABTBookTours

 

Essays & Collections, Parenting Humor, Women's Non-fiction

Date Published: 09-24-2024

 

 

Judy Haveson always believed she would one day “have it all.” Then she turned forty and wondered if she had waited too long. After countless failed first dates and fewer second ones, she finally found love, got married, and became a mother at forty-three.

Oldest Mom on the Playground is a collection of relatable, heartwarming, and humorous essays. Written in her signature conversational style and with a touch of sarcasm, Judy takes readers on her journey of getting pregnant after forty (and delivering the baby during a full moon), raising a child in New York City (including the time she lost him in a grocery store and found him standing on Broadway), leaving the career she spent decades building to volunteer as a preschool class rep, to becoming a card-carrying member of the sandwich generation.

Judy offers no parenting advice, only personal reflection. And she takes nothing in her life for granted. Her message to other midlife mamas is this: trust your gut, let your life experience guide you, and pray no one ever mistakes you for the grandmother.

CHELSEA

First there was light, love, and laughter. But then, the darkness struck, and there was no escape. I was trapped, lost in a world of loneliness and despair.

And my best friend walked away, sealing my pain and suffering.

I was only fifteen years old.

But now, I'm ready for a new start, a fresh beginning, and college is the answer to finally finding that light again.

Of all the campuses in the world, my best friend, my closest confidant, the boy who could've saved me all those years ago is on mine.

ALEX

My graduation night was the worst night of my life and quite possibly the best. My best friend closed herself off and shut me out of her life. When we were just kids, young, fun, and carefree.

On the night of my graduation, she was there.

And I owe her everything.

For her strength.

Her courage.

And her persistence.

But now, seeing her on campus, I know there's a reason our paths crossed again. We were never meant to be apart.

Can I convince her to open up, and share her heart once again?

Faith

Graduating from college is bittersweet. I’ve accomplished my dreams, obtained my teaching degree, and am ready to find my dream job. However, I never realized how difficult or stressful it would be to find a position.

That’s why I jump at the chance to visit Chad, one of my best friends, on base in California.

It was meant to be two weeks of catching up and putting all thoughts of job hunting out of my mind. Little did I know those two weeks would change my life and alter the course we were both on.

Chad

The day she agrees to join me in California is one of the happiest days of my life. Having her with me gives me the taste of home I’ve been craving, but deep down, it’s more than that. She’s important to me, more than just my friend, and my closest friend’s twin sister.

Spending my nights with her has done nothing but reinforce this feeling I get when I’m with her. I know we said we’d keep things light, but she’s making it so damn hard not to want more.

Then I get stationed overseas. Everything changes in the blink of an eye, and I’m not just talking about our jobs or the fact we’re suddenly thousands of miles apart. Call it fate or destiny or just pure luck, but it’s beneath the desert sun that finally our future becomes clear.

#ReleaseBlitz for Grim Justice by Nikki Landis @GiveMeBooksPR

Author: Nikki Landis

Genres: Dark MC/Paranormal Romantic Suspense

Tropes: Touch Her and Die/Alpha Male/One Bed

Found Family/Forced Proximity/Kidnapping

Release Date: July 23, 2024

BLURB

There's a peace that can only be found on the other side of war.

I've waited nearly two decades for justice.

And I'm finally close enough to get revenge.

The bad blood between me and Razr goes way back to the day his father, Scar, murdered my old pres, Keys.

I took out Scar and then Razr's brother, Acid. They paid for their crimes.

I won't rest until Razr meets the Reaper and faces judgment.

But the past carries secrets I never imagined.

New information surfaces and challenges everything I know.

It's not just about protecting my club.

I'll do anything to keep my ol' lady and my son safe.

I would even give up the throne to ensure they survive.

Because nothing will stop me from reaping Razr's soul and forcing him to his knees.

There's a reason I'm called Grim. Death is my playground.

I will end this war and the feud with the Scorpions.

Not a soul, Reaper, or Lucifer himself will stop me.

This book is NOT a standalone. Devil's Ride should be read before Grim Justice.

Grim Justice is a full-length dark romance and includes steamy scenes, biker slang, violence, a paranormal REAPER twist, and a protective, possessive outlaw president hell-bent on vengeance. For best enjoyment, the series should be read in order.

#BookReview: Hannah Tate, Beyond Repair by Laura Piper Lee

ABOUT THIS BOOK:

Hannah Tate can hardly believe her sleep-deprived eyes when she finds an engagement ring hidden in the closet. Killian, her super responsible, incredibly attractive boyfriend—and the father of her new baby, Bowie—is finally going to propose. But a romantic night out goes horribly wrong when Killian reveals he’s dumping Hannah, not proposing. 

Furious and heartbroken, Hannah takes Bowie and moves in with her mama and stepdaddy in the mountains of Blue Ridge, Georgia. Hannah realizes that her parents’ cabin has vacation property gold written all over it—and could save her mama from going broke. Again. 

Only problem? The cabin’s décor is . . . mildly terrifying and it’s in desperate need of renovation. Hannah hires the hot carpenter living in the treehouse next door to fix up the place. Not only does River respect Hannah’s business acumen, he looks at her like she’s a woman, not a hot mess. And Hannah can’t deny that River awakens something new inside her. 

Can Hannah embrace a future that looks different from the picture-perfect family she once dreamed of . . . and maybe start living life on her own terms?
