Loving Liberty Cover Reveal


Loving Liberty
"What would she risk for freedom?"
Belinda Boring
New Adult Contemporary Romance

Snippet: 

“Ready?” he asked, aware I was checking him out and enjoying it the attention. His hand beckoned me to approach, and I let out a soft sigh. He stepped away from the table, waiting for me to stand in front of him, my back to his front. “I’m going to have you break, okay?” He moved in closer, and I prayed my legs wouldn't give. I could feel every inch of him pressed against me.
“Okay,” I stammered. Oliver chuckled low in my ear and I tried not to shiver. Bending me forward with his body, he showed me how to position the pool stick, his arm alongside mine. We fit perfectly.
“Still with me, Liberty?” he asked. I didn't want to move. We were so connected, the position so intimate, I was sure I was ready to combust on the spot. Andrew had tried holding me this close and it had made my skin crawl. It was the complete opposite with Oliver. This made me feel wanton. Reckless.
“Uh huh.” It was the only way I could respond.
“It’s just you need to keep breathing, sweetheart.” His use of that endearment made my insides melt. “Be brave.”

About the Author – Olivia Hardin realized early on how strange she was to have complete movie-like character dreams as a child. Eventually she began putting those vivid dreams to paper and was rarely without her spiral notebooks full of those mental ramblings. Her forgotten vision of becoming an author was realized when she connected with a group of amazingly talented and fabulous writers who gave her lots of direction and encouragement. With a little extra push from family and friends, she hunkered down to get lost in the words. She’s also an insatiable crafter who only completes about 1 out of 5 projects, a jogger who hates to run, and is sometimes accused of being artistic, though she’s generally too much of a perfectionist to appreciate her own work. A native Texas girl, Olivia lives in the beautiful Lone Star state with her husband and their puppy Bonnie. Connect with her Online - Blog * Goodreads * Twitter* Facebook * Literary Addicts

What's to come

Blood and Sacrifice is 3k from being done!!! I know I had said March, but life isn't perfect lol. The book took a whole different turn on me as I was writing. A lot of things I was not prepared for came about. I kind of love when that happens though, its just as fun for me as it is for you all to see the story unfold.

Be ready for some craziness!!















As soon as I get Blood and Sacrifice off to the editor, I can fully start focusing on Dressed in White!! I have almost 2 chapter written on that one. I love Linney, the main character, she is a lot of fun. I think you guys will enjoy it. Its my first foray into Contemporary Romance and also in writing in first person. The cover has been inspiring me to come up with plot lines....in fact I saw the picture of the bride and came up with the story around it. The amazing Stephanie Nelson of Once Upon a Time Covers did it for me...well she's now done all my covers lol. So bear with me as I try and keep myself focused.

 Here is the fiery story of what happens when two people surrender to a love so great it can heal the scars of the past and give way to a life of pure, rapturous ecstasy.

Amazon~Barnes and Noble

My thoughts:

Wow, this was a stellar follow up to Naked! I loved learning more about who Ethan  is, and having his perspective on things. I also loved meeting his family and seeing how he interacted with them. Poor Brynne, my heart broke for her and the awful things she had to endure. I found myself thinking of her like a best friend. The steamier scenes did not disappoint either. I was impressed with how well written this book was as well.
Great job Raine!! I look forward to the next book in the series Eyes Wide Open!!

Naked by Raine Miller

The first book in the bestselling Blackstone Affair series
Naked desire. Secret satisfaction. An affair you’ll never forget.
Brynne Bennett has left scandal in her past and is living the good life. An American grad student at the University of London and part-time photographic model, she’s getting back on track with lots of hard work and focus on a career in art conservation. When London businessman Ethan Blackstone buys her nude portrait, he wants to possess more than just her image. He wants Brynne in his bed, serving him in every way possible. He has no trouble voicing his desires, and he isn’t taking no for an answer.
At first his dominant nature captivates her, but it isn’t clear if the force of his powerful desire will ultimately awaken or dispel the demons Brynne is carrying inside. There are secrets on both sides of this relationship—huge ones. Can Ethan erase the scars of Brynne’s past so that she can reveal her true self to him? Or will the shadows cast by Ethan’s own mysterious former life destroy their chance at happiness?
Naked is the sizzling, unforgettable story of what happens when a strong woman meets the one man powerful enough to strip away all her defenses, leaving her standing naked and perfect before him.



My thoughts:

I really enjoyed this book a lot, more for the relationship aspect than the steamy scenes. Although the steamy scenes were really well written, a lot of times with erotica books, you get taken out of the story with all the sex, not the case with this book.
Brynne was wonderfully wounded and fragile. I wanted so bad for her to just let Ethan take care of her and keep her safe. Her inner war with herself about him was interesting, she wanted him, but was afraid to let him in.
Ethan was the perfect blend of cocky and vulnerable. I couldn't help but fall in love with him. Heck, I wanted him to take care of me too lol. 
Well done Raine! As soon as I finished this book, I started book 2, can't wait to dive back into it tonight!
