Into You Blog Tour


Buy Links 

"You start out with the best of intentions, but inevitably you hurt each other. I love you, but that didn't stop me from hurting you last night, or this morning. Love sucks. It's just the way it is.”

Falling in love is easy. But what happens when that love has been tossed aside and trampled on by the person who swore to cherish it? Can you ever trust again, or will the bitter taste of betrayal keep you from allowing anyone else in?

Carter and Elizabeth each have their own issues with love and trust. Both have had their hearts broken and carry the scars of the past into their relationship with each other. Is love ever enough? Can it overcome?
Carter faces his past with Elizabeth by his side, but it continues to haunt him at every turn. Can he let go and believe in her enough to leave his past behind him or will he push too hard and send her running into another man’s arms?

Into You by Danielle Sibarium, has definitely been one of my favorite reads this year. I feel in love with this author the moment I discovered her debut novel, For Always, but more so as I got to know her and see her grow within each new book she wrote. Her YA books are amazing but her NA’s are more deep, dark, and fascinating.

Into takes us on a journey with Elizabeth and Carter. I was thrilled when I learned Danielle was telling this tour with dual POVs. There’s something about having the male’s views that appeals to me and she doesn’t disappoint. Elizabeth runs into Carter on the street, literally, with an egg joke they decide to have coffee together. She’s not looking for anything, and he’s not the serious type…anymore…right?

Not being able to get their minds off one another, they decided to go out again and as they say it the rest is history… or is it that history has a way of popping up at the wrong time? Either way it happened. You can feel the insane attraction, but Elizabeth was shielding herself from getting a broken heart and so was Carter. Then Carter finds out who Elizabeth works for and his past comes crashing into his future along with all his insecurities and trust issues. But Elizabeth isn’t a saint either, her past comes back and puts all of Carter’s fears to light. Will they get through it? What are these so called secrets anyways?

Danielle has an awesome way of telling a story without it feeling rushed or instantaneous. It’s absolutely perfect and not filled with unnecessary drama. I seriously cannot wait to see what she turns up next. If you haven’t picked up your copy of Into You, you should totally get on that.

Author Bio

Danielle Sibarium grew up as an only child of divorced parents in Brooklyn, New York. Her imagination was developed at an early age. Surrounded by stuffed animals and imaginary friends, she transported herself into a fantasy world full of magic and wonder. Books were the gateway between her play world and reality. On any given summer afternoon she became Snow White sweeping and cooking for the dwarfs, or Cinderella waiting for the prince.

Danielle always loved dialogue and in elementary school began writing plays and short stories. This is when she began to understand she could not only bring her fantastical world to life for herself, but she could enchant others as well. And so she wrote. She wrote and wrote and wrote. Sadly the first piece she ever sent out for publication of any sort was a letter to the editor of The Home News Tribune. It was a piece of thanking the first responders for their bravery and selflessness on Sept. 11th. It was chosen as letter of the week.

In 2007 Danielle collaborated with Charlotte Doreen Small to write songs for her CD More. Danielle wrote the lyrics for Take My Hand, and Goodbye, while Charlotte contributed the melody. In October 2011 Danielle’s debut novel For Always was released. She has since released The Heart Waves Trilogy, Heart Waves, Breaking Waves, and Waves of Love.  Danielle graduated from Farleigh Dickinson University with honors, and currently lives in New Jersey with her husband and three children.

Cover Reveal- Christmas Salvation

 When I finished writing Deviation, I knew it wasn't going to be the end of their story. However I thought more would come in companion novels, but I saw everyone writing Christmas Novellas and wanted to make one too. The moment I decided I was going to do one, Angel and Nevaeh started talking again and wouldn't shut up until I wrote what they said down. Hello Christmas Salvation!  So I present you with a little continuation of their story, I hope you like it! This care is definitely one of my favorites making, the full wrap I awesome too, but I'll reveal that later!

Excerpt
He has that way about him, making you believe in something when you’ve lost all hope. He lives up to his name day after day in every single way possible. I wish I could say that everything since he proposed has been easy. That all we did was love each other as much as possible and as many times as possible, but that’s not the case at all. As soon as we left the cemetery we drove to his mom’s place to give her the good news and it hasn’t stopped since then. We had to pick a date, invitations, a location, flowers, and a dress. To say I was overwhelmed is putting it lightly, I was on the verge of breaking down, and each day brought me closer to the cliff until one day… I jumped head first back into the very thing I said I would never go back to.
I went to see Elise.

The Thrill of It Review


 A new adult story of Love. Sex. Addiction. Blackmail. And Power...

Some say love can be an addiction. Others say it's the thing that makes life worth living. Let me tell you everything I know about love...Love isn't patient, love isn't kind. Love is a game, a chase. A thrill. Love is wild and war-like, and every man and woman must fight for themselves. At least that's how it was for me. A high-priced virgin call girl by the time I started college, I was addicted to love and to sex. Even though I've never had either. I controlled love, played it, and held the world in the palm of my hands. Then I fell down from those highs, and I'm being blackmailed for all my mistakes, forced to keep secrets from everyone, except the only guy I don't regret.

Trey...

With all the other women, I knew what they were. They were temporary. They were pills, they were bottles, they took away all the pain, and numbed the awful memories that wore down my ragged, wasted heart. Until I met Harley. She's the only girl I ever missed when she walked away. But now she's back in my life, every day, and there are no guarantees for us, especially since I don't know how to tell her my secrets. What happened to my family. All I know is she's the closest I've ever come to something real, and I want to feel every second of it.

How can you love with no regrets when regret is all you know?

Is it just me or are author's kicking ass at writing awesomeness?! I hope to be half of what the author's I've read lately are. Seriously, I'm so caught up in how amazing they are that I've neglected attempting anything! That's not entirely true, but I do find myself lost more in reading than writing lately and one of the books that captured my attention is no doubt The Thrill of it by Lauren Blakely. But like I said before there are some authors who are amazing no matter what they write and she is definitely one of them. Normally I would have posted my review with Christina on our Crazy Book Chicks Naughty & Nice blog for the blog tour, but... my original review was lost! :( Seriously I cried so I apologize if this review totally sucks, but I wanted to post something even if its tiny to show the appreciation to the author for her fabulous book! So enjoy and if you hate it SORRY!

I totally and completely fell in love with Harley. I hate her mother though. Cannot stand her and blame her for how Harley turns out at the beginning. She's stronger than her mother though and its a quality I admire. Its not like our typical girls we read were the knight in shinning armor comes and saves the day, its the complete opposite in fact. Harley walks into a tattoo parlor to get this tattoo to remind her of her mother and what she's overcoming when she meets Trey. Trey's the sexy tattoo artists. The one that has your insides swooning and your mind running. Yup that's hottie Trey and boy do I love him. I love the boys with issues and Trey has his fair share of baggage of the cougar variety. We all cope in different ways, the ironic copying mechanism is what brings these two together after a night that was supposed to end their past.

But like they say the past doesn't always stay in the past. They form a bond, but both struggle to remain on the friendship line. A line that inevitable blurs. A line that pushes Harley back to her pimp Cam. Normally I would hate any form of pimp, but I have to say Lauren Blakely has me liking Cam in his weirdness. He's not the 'normal' pimp we're used to seeing portrayed. Once you belong to one you always do, Cam isn't like that and I love that about him. Harley and Trey have a long road ahead of them, but together they can conquer it all. Just to let you all know there will be another book so don't be surprised with the ending even though I am every time I read this book... yes I've read it a few times, okay maybe more than a few but what can I say other than I love it! SO go grab this book if you haven't already!
