Summer Reads Celebration with Swoon Romance

 
Hello Readers!
Summer is almost over but there's still time to snuggle up with some romantic summer reads!
Celebrate the last drop of summer with these summer reads from Swoon Romance.
Be sure to enter the giveaway found at the end of the post!
 
 
Pretend to be from Spain? Act like she can barely speak English? Sure, why not? It wouldn’t be the first time Gabby Vega had agreed to a challenge from her best friend, Kenzie. Besides, it’s only for a week of vacation with Kenzie’s cousins. Gabby will prove to Kenzie she can keep up the fake identity for the whole trip—that she’s not a quitter.
There’s just one major surprise. Noah Jernigan is also staying with Kenzie’s cousins. Noah, the boy she fell in love with at drama camp last summer and the boy she had to dump when it was over. The boy who knows who she really is.
Noah can’t believe it when Gabby appears at the Bryson’s vacation home in the New Mexico mountains. He hasn’t seen her in a year. It practically took that long just to get over her. And now she’s Gabriela from Spain? All he wants is to get as far away as he can. Or maybe the exact opposite. Stick as close to her as possible and find out what the heck happened last summer. And definitely get some payback.
Now Gabby has to keep Noah at arm’s length as she pretends to be Gabriela. She doesn’t want to answer his questions or rehash last summer. Because one thing is clear—the more time she spends with Noah, the more she’s in danger of falling for him all over again.
About Last Summer by Patricia B. Tighe Publication Date: May 30, 2017 Publisher: Swoon Romance
Available for Purchase: Amazon
 
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:
“This book is ADORABLE!” – Brookie Cowles, Author “Cute story with engaging writing!” – Shala, Goodreads
   
The mother of two grown sons, Patricia B. Tighe lives in West Texas with her husband and dog. She eats way too much pizza, drinks way too much coffee, and watches way too much NFL football. On the bright side, she also reads and writes teen fiction. She promises to include as much romance, angst, and adventure as possible in her books.
     
 
Seventeen-year-old Autumn Teslow arrives at her father’s job fair knowing she’ll never measure up to the perfect image of daddy’s little girl—her twin sister.
Wearing anger management issues like a second skin won’t help Autumn win her dad’s approval for the big trip she’s been planning—or meet his condition that she successfully complete a summer internship for college.
Autumn’s cool unravels when her sister lectures against disappointing the family again. And when a young, bearded guy steps through the crowd to settle the growing argument between siblings, Autumn lashes out, dubbing him a “Duck Dynasty wannabe.”
At Nineteen, Caden Behr is clueless as to why his man parts are threatened by the fearsome girl before him. He’d only come to find an intern for his recreational equipment company, not break up a girl-fight between two sisters.
Unfortunately, the only candidate left is the girl who just told him off. Without her, he’ll never prove to his CEO mother that he’s ready for more responsibility.
Autumn and Caden agree that if they can keep from killing one another, they can use one another to get what they want and then never have to see each other again. Which is what they want.
Until it isn’t.
Because despite her best efforts to scare him off, and his fading desire to push her into the lake, they’re beginning to enjoy the time they spend together. But pride is a hard habit to break. And if neither will admit their changing feelings, they could lose a whole lot more than one summer.
One Summer with Autumn by Julie Reece Publisher: October 18, 2016 Publisher: Swoon Romance
Available for Purchase: Amazon
 
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:
“it’s a story of discovering a new you” – Moriah, A Leisure Moment “light and fluffy” – Hadassah, Haddie’s Haven    
 
As a child, Julie’s summers were about horseback riding and fishing, while winter brought sledding and ice-skating on frozen ponds. Most of life was magical, but not all. She struggled with multiple learning disabilities, and spent much of her time gazing out windows and daydreaming. In the fourth grade (with the help of one very nice teacher) she fought dyslexia for her right to read and won. Afterward, she invented stories where powerful heroines kicked bad-guy butt to win the hearts charismatic heroes. And then she wrote one down… Writing ever since, Julie weaves southern gothic, contemporary, fantasy, and young adult romances. She enjoys sweeping tales of mystery and epic adventure… which must include a really hot guy. Her writing is proof a dream and some hard work can overcome any obstacle.
     
 
School is out and Lucy is ready for the perfect summer: lazy days at the pool, invitations to the most exclusive parties, and romantic dates with her hot new boyfriend. That is, until she lands in trouble one too many times and her parents issue the ultimate punishment: a summer job. Suddenly, the summer can’t end fast enough.
To make matters worse, the job is painting houses with Justin, the most popular, egotistical guy in school. Spending all summer with Justin might be other girls’ dreams, but definitely not Lucy’s. After all, Justin is cocky, annoying, and a jerk. So what if he’s the most beautiful jerk Lucy’s ever seen? Or that his grin makes her forget she’s mad at the world? Or that maybe, just maybe, there’s more to Justin than Lucy realizes. Only one thing is certain: it won’t be the summer she wanted, but it might be exactly the one she needs.
Effortless With You (Effortless With You #1) by Lizzy Charles Publication Date: 2013 Publisher: Swoon Romance
Available for Purchase:
 
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:
“I most definitely recommend checking out” – Ellen, Always YA at Heart “It was refreshing and I adored it” – Crystal, Bookiemoji      
Lizzy Charles writes young adult contemporary romance. She’s a tea fanatic, guacamole expert, and sushi lover. When she’s fixing lunches, dressing kids, or wiping pizza sauce off sticky hands, she escapes to La La Land and imagines all sorts of little love stories. Lizzy loves her daily dose of fitness and is also a RN so she can triage any symptom you send her way. Her best friend from high school is also her husband. Oh and she has a little pup named Professor Lupin who is pretty much the glue to the whole writing operation.

{Fantastic Fives + Giveaway} Yay! I'm Turning Five!



Taking It One Book at a Time is 5 years old, I can't believe it!!!!

So to celebrate this milestone the lovely ladies at Me, My Shelf and I & Two Chicks On Books decided we all should do it in style!

Here's a little bit about ME!






How did you get started blogging? 

One of my close friends had just started doing it, so I decided, 'Hey I wanna do that too', and here I am!


How did you pick the name for your blog?

I knew that I didn't want to try to be too speedy when it came to the pace of my blog, I had no idea I'd be doing the volumn I'd be doing today....so I wanted my viewers to know that I would be taking it one book at a time.


If you could go back in time and tell your newbie blogger self 1 thing what would it be?

Use the "Schedule" option on Blogger more often! Honestly for years I didn't even realize it was there LOL!


What have you learned in your 5 years of blogging?

Don't fill your plate too full. 
Yes we want to get page views, subscribers, publishers, promoters, whoever it might be looking at our blog, but a few years ago I went through a very difficult time on my blog due to stress. Yes, a lot of it was personal pressure, but in that year I think that I posted a total of 40, yes 40, posts. So take your time, don't try to compare what you're doing to anyone else. Be your own blog, be original and people will come!


What was the first ARC or book you ever received from a publisher?

First physical ARC was Demon Trapper's Daughter by Jana Oliver


When you’re not reading or blogging, what can we find you doing?

Besides working 50 hours a week, raising 3 kids......you can either find me playing softball 2 nights a week, playing way too much Fantasy Football, or playing with my America Bully, Max



The Fives: (and yes, you can ONLY have 5! *muwhahahah*)

Five Favorite Book Quotes

“He pulls me around and kisses me. "You're Mac," he says. "And I'm Jericho. And nothing else matters. Never will. You exist in a place that is beyond all rules for me. Do you understand that?" - Fever Series

====

“Z: "You know, this was a hell of a lot easier when you were out cold in the back of that truck."

Phury: "That was you?"
Z:"You think it was Santa Claus or some shit?" -Lover Awakened by J.R. Ward

“I'm not going to waste time being angry about things I can't control. If I only have one life, I should make the most of it.”  - Incarnate by Jodi Meadows

====

Love sucks. Sometimes it feels good. Sometimes it's just another way to bleed.”  - 
Blue Moon by Laurell K. Hamilton


Five Blogging Tips For New Bloggers

1. Social Media until you're fingers are bleeding. Make those connections
2. Be as original as possible, whether it's in your verbiage, your style of post, anything that looks original is good.
3. Don't assume you're entitled to ARCs, those are an earned privilege, not a right. So make sure when you do get them respect them.
4. Do not EVER under any circumstance copy any part/section of another bloggers post or review. 
5. Be 100% honest about everything when it comes to your blog. Whether it's your subscribers, page views, how fast you read a book or what author's you've met, it's imperative that in this blogger community you are what you claim to be.
