Guest Post & Giveaway: The Wedding Date Bargain by Mira Lyn Kelly



Happy Tuesday everyone!! So excited to have Author Mira Lynn Kelly with us here today chatting about her upcoming release "The Wedding Date Bargain"! 
Welcome Mira! 


Hi! Thanks for hanging out with me today!! 

People often ask how I came to choose Weddings as the common theme through this series…and I think the answer is pretty simple. I’m obsessed. I love writing about them! When it came to kicking off my own Happily Ever After, I was living 2149 miles away. Not exactly a hop, skip, and a jump back to Chicago where our wedding would be held. 

So how to plan? 

Well, as it happened, my super stylish, much cooler, and soon-to-be-engaged-herself little sister happened to be feeling generous with a hefty hunk of her time. Yeah, I lucked out in no small way. My part in the planning of our big day was primarily handled over two weekends, when I flew home to buy a dress and basically approve the planning she and my dad had done for me. Seriously, my wedding was perfect and gorgeous and miles beyond what I would have come up with on my own. I loved it. 

But I didn’t plan it. 

It wasn’t my blood, sweat and tears behind the sugar crusted fruit arrangements at each table. The soles of my shoes weren’t worn out from making the trek from one venue to the next searching out the perfect space. It wasn’t my last nerve on the line meeting photographer after photographer. 

It’s not like I believe I missed out, and yet…I seem to find myself planning fictional weddings on the regular! It’s totally cheating, I know. The only things that go wrong, go wrong because I want them too.  Which sounds terrible, lol! But in my defense, for every wedding day catastrophe I cackle over creating, I always balance it with a blow-out happily ever after in the end, lol!!



Thank you so much Mira!! 
Friends, below is some information about THE WEDDING DATE BARGAIN, links for you to grab your copy, get to know Mira a bit better and enter the awesome giveaway!

  EXCERPT


 Aryas knew her. He knew what she liked. He knew how she played. He knew exactly what would make her squirm in her seat. And he knew precisely how long it had been since she’d had her kink. “You’re throwing down the gauntlet,” she accused quietly. “You feel like picking up the glove?” he shot back, shaking the piece of paper at her. She stared into Aryas’s eyes. No strings. Anything she wanted to do to get him off. When he was done with her, he’d vanish from her life. Her gaze dropped to the paper. “Be you, and we’ll make it interesting, lay five grand on that fucker, he’ll give you one go and then he’ll move on,” Aryas pushed, but it was a dare. She looked back at him. A dare. Yes, he knew her. “No reflection on you and your skills, which are sublime, my beautiful baby.” He grinned wicked grin. “Just that this guy is unbreakable. There’s no edge for him any Domme can get anywhere near to push him off and that’s what he’s looking for. Being taken to the farthest edge and shoved right the fuck over.” Taken to the farthest edge. Evangeline was not into that. She wasn’t into extreme. Not like many who were into that in the life. No, the edges she coasted were exactly what Aryas wasn’t quite saying, but she read this guy couldn’t handle. Unless he had the right Mistress to lead the way. Damn it all, she was getting wet. “Five grand?” she snapped. Aryas pressed his lips together and she was too peeved to get more peeved that he did it to suppress his amusement. He unpressed them to confirm, “Five grand. But Leenie, babe, just to get it straight, he walks away from you at first meet, we’re even. It’s only if you get a crack at him the bet is on.” She lifted her nose at the same time she snatched the paper from his hand, declaring, “He won’t walk away.” “He might,” Aryas said gently, and his sudden loss of humor and careful tone made her focus on him again. “Beware of that. He’s done it before. In some ways, he doesn’t give a shit about anything. In some ways, he can be frustratingly choosy.” “If I want him, he walks away, I’ll still get him,” she announced.


    

✮✮✮And don’t miss the first standalone title in the Honey Series… THE DEEP END! ✮✮✮

About The Author


 Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA and nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorise and she hadn't taken her first breath!). Her mother said they took Kristen away, put her Mom back in her room, her mother looked out the window, and Gary was on fire (Dr. King had been assassinated four days before). Kristen's Mom remembered thinking it was the end of the world. Quite the dramatic beginning. Nothing's changed. Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana and has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus, she's blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her family was (is) loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write. They all lived together on a very small farm in a small farm town in the heartland. She grew up with Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched). Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up. And as she keeps growing, it keeps getting better.

Cover Reveal Blitz: Most Valuable Playboy by Lauren Blakely

   

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely comes a sexy, new standalone sports romance releasing September 1st, MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY! Told from the guy’s POV, MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY will hit retailers just in time to celebrate the start of fall and football season! The audiobook is slated for a simultaneous release and will be narrated by Zachary Webber! Don’t miss the amazing cover and blurb below!

 

 
Cover Design by Helen Williams with Photography by Scott Hoover Photography
 
About MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY:
Hands down, my favorite thing in the world is to score. Touchdowns. Don’t let the fact that I’m the leading pick in the Most Valuable Playboy charity auction fool you. These days, I’m only a player on the field. I’ve kept my pants zipped all season long — and it has been long — because nothing’s more important than leading my team to victory every week. Except maybe escaping from the owner’s handsy-as-hell sister who seems dead set on winning more than a date with me at the auction. Enter Violet and a well-placed Hail Mary.
She’s my best friend’s sister with a smile as sweet as cherry pie and a mind that runs quicker than the 40-yard-dash. After Violet saves the day with the highest bid, I don’t even give her a two-minute warning before I kiss her in front of the whole crowd and then announce that she’s my girlfriend. Which would be fine except my agent tells me the next day that we’ve got to keep up the act while he’s negotiating my contract. Violet says she’ll take one for the team and pretend to be mine, but our boyfriend-girlfriend scrimmage quickly turns into a full contact sport. And soon enough, I want this game with her to go into overtime. The problem is — I’ve been riding the bench for years.
How can a guy like me, who finally has a chance to prove his worth on the field, convince the girl she’s most valuable to his heart?
*MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY is a brand new standalone sports romance written in the guy’s POV!*

I am pleased to share with you an awesome store that recently opened and OMG the items are fantastic!


The Glitter Dungeon are a mother-daughter team who enjoys sarcasm and sticking glitter on inanimate objects. Their sparkly bail jars started as a social media joke. Any time one of their friends mentioned being frustrated or grumpy, they would post, "Dropping a quarter in the jar where I save your future bail money." 

They started making the jars and giving them as gifts. They got such an enthusiastic response, they decided to share them with the world. 

Each jar is unique and handmade. They ACCEPT CUSTOM ORDERS. Just contact them and they'll find the right materials!

Check out the "The Jail Door



Then there is "Keep The Change




How about the "Stripe Jar"



Okay, Okay, I know what you're think... "That a heck of a lot of glitter Enchantress!"
Normally I would agree with you. I tend to steer clear of anything with glitter as it gets EVERYWHERE! One of the many reasons I LOVE these items and the owners is the their quality of work is phenomenal! They seal the jars as part of the final steps and bam no glitter everywhere!
I have seen the items first hand and my daughter owns a jar with "Books" on it!! As an avid reader, having some change will help her with her growing collection!

Excerpt


Christian slipped on his thin cotton shirt, and I kept waiting for that towel to drop from all his twisty movements, but it clung to him like a chastity belt to a virgin.

Only there was nothing virginal in the way he looked at me. His eyes burned with secrets, and when he licked his lips, I felt the invitation just as surely as I saw it.

He tossed me my jacket, and I stood up to put it on. Christian did the same, his long black jacket swirling around him as he slipped his arms into the sleeves, until finally it covered everything but his legs below the thigh.
Then the towel dropped.

Christian swaggered back to the bathroom. Did he just chuckle?
Perturbed, I looked away and widened my eyes when I realized my bra was draped over the TV. I stuffed it into my coat pocket and then switched off the television.

As I neared the bathroom entrance, I peeked in and saw him leaning over the tub, his foot propped on the edge while he tied his laces.

“You look like something the cat dragged in,” he said, peering over his shoulder.

“If you were a gentleman, I might have gotten to use the shower first.”

He stood up and gripped the doorjamb over his head. “Perhaps next time we should share—that way nobody gets left out.”

I glared.

Christian winked. “Just trying to think about the environment and water conservation.”

“Exactly what did you say to that woman at the bar that made her a willing victim?”

He grinned wolfishly. “I’m afraid you’ll have to come closer to find out.”

“No, thanks. I’m just curious what kind of words of seduction you use to catch your prey. Probably telling them they taste like the Dead Sea or something romantic like that.”

Christian gave me a bemused look. “Why would you say something like that?”

I shrugged. “I don’t know. It was the first thing that popped into my mind. Am I getting warm, Romeo?”

“Ice cold. Like your nipples. Perhaps you should get decent and put on a bra.”

“If a bra makes you decent, then you need one more than I do.”
