Fancy another giveaway? I need your help!


Did you know leaving a review is the kindest compliment you can give an author? You ask, what if it isn't a great review? I answer, how else do we learn how to better our craft than with an honest review?

Sure, sometimes us authors have to grow some pretty thick skin, but it comes with the territory. We know what we write isn't going to please everyone, and when that's the case, we swipe away a stray tear or two and move on to the next book. Because we're authors and that's what we do.

Raining Down Rules has received several raving reviews and others that made me do some thinking. And that's okay. I appreciate each and every one of them because it means that someone took the time to thank me (in their own way) for writing Raining Down Rules.

Did you also know that Amazon positions an author's book differently based on the number of reviews it has? It's true! For instance, often times, if your book has 25+ reviews, it will pop up under the section showing you what others have purchased who have also purchased whatever it is you're looking at. If you have 50+ reviews, then your chances of appearing in an Amazon newsletter increase significantly. And, if you're up over 100, then readers are more likely to 1-Click purchase your book over those who have far less reviews. Is this all fair? Probably not. But Amazon can pretty much do whatever they want.

So, all that said, I'm offering you a chance to win a $25 Amazon giftcard just for posting your review of Raining Down Rules on Amazon. You can get a second entry for posting that same review on Goodreads, too! All you need to do, is once you've posted your review, leave the URL of your review on the Rafflecopter form below and you're automatically entered to win! Pretty easy, huh?

New Release: Chasing Dreams by Alison Mello

"He has no control with her...and she doesn't want him to..."
★★NOW AVAILABLE★★★
CHASING DREAMS by Alison Mello

★ SYNOPSIS ★
Young, gorgeous, and with the voice of an angel, Skyler Jones dreams of becoming a singer… 

After the death of her parents in a tragic car accident, there’s nothing to tie twenty-five-year-old Skyler to the East Coast. But if she’s learned one thing, it’s that life is short. So with aspirations of landing a record deal, she moves to the land of champagne wishes and caviar dreams. 

Sexy, rich, and wildly successful, Logan Michaels’ club is the hottest nightspot in Los Angeles… 

While at his club, Logan spots a stunning woman ordering a drink. In L.A., beautiful women are a dime a dozen, but this one’s different—and so is their connection. He’s never been so infatuated, and he’s determined to know more about the striking stranger. After pulling some strings, he finds out where she works and asks her to dinner. 

They find more than love—they find opportunity… 

After a few dates, Logan convinces Skyler to perform at his club. But when Skyler dances with one of Logan’s connections, he’s unable to contain his explosive jealousy. However, his major screw-up with Skyler is the least of his problems. When a scorned ex-employee seeks revenge in the most deadly of ways, it puts both himself and Skyler’s life in danger. 

Will Logan be able to protect Skyler from the growing threat? 
Or will she run…and write off this chapter of her life as chasing dreams?

★★★ ALISON MELLO ★★★
Alison Mello is a wife and stay at home mom to a wonderful little boy. She lives with her amazing family in Massachusetts. She loves playing soccer, basketball and football with her son.

After having her son, Alison started reading again and fell in love with Contemporary Romance. Reading made her happy and gave her something to do when she had downtime. As she started to read more, she started to noticed things she really enjoyed in a book and things she didn’t. She began to have ideas for writing one of her own. One day she literally woke up and started writing. She realized that if there was ever a time for her to write, it was now. She had a part time job to give her something to do. The hours at work were slow and she was bored with what she was doing, so while her son was off enjoying his friends over summer vacation she got started.

Alison finished the first book in two weeks and decided that she really enjoyed writing, so she kept going. She already had ideas in mind for books two and three, so she kept writing. That is how the Learning to Love Series was born. Somewhere along the line, one of my Beta readers convinced me that Michael, a character from Finding Love, needed his own story. That is when Alison added the fourth and final book. Alison hopes you enjoy her books as much as she enjoyed writing them.

She’s so glad she started this writing journey and hopes you will stay with her for the ride. Chasing Dreams is scheduled to release in April and the first two books of the Love Conquers Life series will be out this summer!

Book Blurb:


Jemma Bowers hasn’t kissed anyone in over a thousand days. She knows—she’s counted.

For twenty-year-old Jemma, rules are not meant to be broken…even if she’s the one who created them. Friendships have boundaries, relationships mean trouble, and don’t even get her started on sex. Haunted by the death of her mother and her father’s abandonment, Jemma finds herself hungry for something meaningful and permanent, but is afraid of what may happen if she pursues it.

Jordan Capshaw can’t fight his addiction. Not even if it will cost him his career…

When Jemma finds Jordan drunk and barefoot in the street, she convinces him to get in her car. Aside from the fact he’s the lead singer of her favorite band and pretty much the rock star of her dreams, she quickly realizes his addiction is a monster neither of them can control.

Who knew choosing between a rock star and a fireman could be so difficult?

Emotions run high as Jemma soon finds herself caught between the troubled rock star and her growing affections for Vic Harper, a swoon-worthy firefighter from her past. But when her grandmother passes away, leaving her with no other family, Jemma’s world falls apart.

To save herself from further heartbreak, she risks it all by breaking her own rules, and putting her heart on the line.

After all, the heart just might be the biggest rule breaker of them all.
