Reading Experiences

Do you believe that every book must be read at the right moment?

   What if there was a time where you were reading while you were sick? Or you were reading at a party that you couldn't concentrate?

   Don't you guys think all these factors come into play on whether or not you enjoy a book? They may take away from a reader truly enjoying a book.

Amour Amour by Krista & Becca Ritchie

Publication Date: December 12, 2014
Genre: New Adult, Contemporary, Romance, 
Series: Standalone :(
Love is a circus

"Every day,” he says lowly, “I hold a person’s life in my hands. The circus is based one-hundred percent off trust. I give it all to someone, and they give it all to me.”

The best aerial technique won’t land 21-year-old Thora James her dream role in Amour—a sexy new acrobatic show on the Vegas strip. Thora knows she’s out of her element the second she meets Amour’s leading performer. Confident, charming and devilishly captivating, 26-year-old Nikolai Kotova lives up to his nickname as the “God of Russia.”

   Some of these emails were very easy to find as they are generally found on the publishing house's website on their about us/contact us page.
