A Fighting Chance e-ARC sign-up
I hope you guys had an awesome Thanksgiving. I'm paying for mine twice a day at the gym currently. I love working out but I love eating a lot more, so it makes for good and bad times around the holidays LOL.
So, I'm giving out e-ARCs for A Fighting Chance (AFC), and I wasn't going to post another teaser for AFC until after Christmas but I want to entice you to sign up to review it!
Likes this teaser?
Like reading?
Want to read A Fighting Chance before it's published?
Like writing reviews?
If you've answered yes to all of these, you should probably sign up to get an e-ARC because I'm giving a few out, if you wouldn't mind writing a review! If you're a blogger and want to do the tour instead, you're welcome to sign up for an e-ARC, but AFC will be touring in February and you might want to wait to sign up then.
Here's my quick reminder synopsis: Jesse used to fight in underground circles. He doesn't anymore. Something happens that pulls him back into the ring. Then shit gets real.
It is a standalone and there is no cliffhanger.
I should warn you: AFC is NOT really contemporary romance. It's probably more along the lines of romantic suspense. It's about underground fighting, so there's some violence. It's New Adult, I suppose. I hate genres and age group classifications because it's never that cut and dry, but there you go.
Other stuff:
1. e-ARCs will be emailed 2-3 weeks before release (scheduled for Feb 4, 2014) in either epub or mobi format.
2. I'm giving out a set number of copies, so there's no guarantee everyone who signs up will get one.
3. Please be willing to post the review during release week.
4. Please be willing post an honest, thoughtful review. I don't expect 3 stars and above as a part of this. If you don't like it, you don't like it. I get it. If you raged a little while reading, rage in your review. I get it. I'm really not writing to make everyone comfortable because that's silly.
5. Please don't post or share anywhere. I'm not going to go into the details of why this isn't okay, both legally and morally, and by accepting the e-ARC you're saying you understand and agree to abide by copyright laws.
Anyway, this post is long as hell, but I wouldn't be me if it weren't LOL. Here's the link:

“Will you pray too while I'm
killing you?” he shouts back with a cruel laugh.
I’m seething, my heart on the verge of punching right through my chest, but I force myself to stay calm. I whittle my thoughts until this octagon, this fight, and Carlos are the only things in the world that exists. “Come on, crocodile,” I say with a cold smile, gesturing at him with just one hand. A glint of determination shines in his eyes as he wipes his lips on his glove. He reveals his sharp-toothed smile, his teeth red with blood.
Then he crosses the cage.

Updated Sched
I updated my (tentative) 2014 schedule, finally!!
A Fighting Chance in February. You already know the premise so I'm not going to give you the rundown again.
Fuel in May. Female POV. Drug trafficking. Brazil. A love interest who might be a cold-blooded killer. Fun times.
Breathlessly in December. This is Abel's book. And probably my last foray into contemporary romance for a very long time.

A Fighting Chance --- "But" -Tuesday teaser
A Fighting Chance won't be out until next year (Feb), and this will probably be the last teaser until after Christmas, but I'll post some fun stuff about Jesse and Drew: dream cast, inspiration, why I love underground fighting, my take on fictional violence ('cause it's here aplenty lol), etc. Anyway, here's the (unedited) teaser:
The
two of us are still carrying on the same silence from before. There's no radio playing and barely an
audible exhale. But it’s hardly cold and empty silence. The Mexican heat is
permeating the car and kindling a strange energy between us. The air in here is
churning with something.
Something
flammable, something volatile.
I
can feel it beneath my skin. In my lungs. In my blood.
“You’ll be happy in Glory,”
I say finally. “You will make a
great life there for yourself with Buck, even without your parents’ help. You’ll probably end up with that job you want. You
will put this behind you and never have to think about it again. And that’s why
letting you go is the best idea…” I swerve into a U-turn, angering every driver
in the vicinity, as I pull off to the side of the road. I get out of the car, run around to the other side and open her door. “But...”
What comes after the "but"??????? We all know it's the most important part of the sentence!! LOL Of course I would leave you hanging in the middle of dialogue! You'll just have to wait and see. ;)
