Book Title: Tapout
Author: JC Valentine
Genre: New Adult Romance
Release Date: July 8, 2014
Hosted by: Book Enthusiast Promotions

Synopsis:

History brought them together. Circumstances may them apart.

Alyson Blake’s past left her with scars. Scars that she tried to fix the only way she knew how—by helping others. But actions have consequences, and Alyson is about to find out that being naïve is no excuse.

Fighting is Jamison Weston’s passion. Alyson is his obsession. Despite the past and a few lingering concerns, their relationship is as solid as ever. Until a shocking lie is uncovered and all of his plans begin to unravel. Now, Jami is rushing to pick up the pieces, but as relationships are put to the test, will he be strong enough to keep it together, or will it all just fall apart?

Meet the Author:

Best selling author J.C. Valentine is the alter-ego of Brandi Salazar, whose enjoyment of tales of romance spurred her to branch out and create her own.

She lives in the Northwest with her husband, their wild children, and far too many pets. As a university student, she studies literature, which goes well with her dream of becoming an editor. Brandi entertains a number of hobbies including reading and photography, but her first love is writing fiction-in all its forms.

Excerpt:

Tonight, as Alyson left the locker room with her gym bag hitched over her shoulder, she came to a sudden stop, the breath sucked from her lungs.

“What is all this?” she breathed, noting the soft amber glow of flickering candles creating a path leading to the boxing ring at the far end of the room where Jami stood waiting. He was dressed in crisp black slacks, a black tie, and a white button up, holding a single red rose at his side. His hair was damp from a recent shower, and the smile he wore was heart-stopping.

Following the given path, she stepped carefully over the crimson rose petals, reaching out to take Jami’s hand so he could pull her into the ring.

“This,” he said, exchanging her gym bag for the rose, “is me attempting to romance you.”

With less than two agonizing weeks to go, I can't help reflecting on my journey since starting this business of being an author. It has been such an incredible adventure. Honestly, when I started writing, I never expected it to be more than a fun hobby to pass the time with. I didn't expect people to read my work, much less enjoy it. But they did, and they do. It continues to amaze me each time I find a new review and someone says they enjoyed my work. Why? Because I still have trouble reconciling that it's MY work, and that someone actually considers it to be good.Bizarre? Maybe, but no one ever claimed that authors were reasonable creatures ;)

So, with Knockout well on its way, I am considering what I want out of this deal. There's the obvious: I want everyone to love it. I want readers to fall in love with Jami and Ally, to fall in love with love, to experience that ache in their gut when they kiss, or they have a fight, or just when that subtle look passes between them that says without words that they can't imagine it being anyone else. You know the one. Then there is the dream. That ultimate dream I think every author fantasizes about: becoming a best seller.

Before it is all said and done, I want to be able to claim that readers loved my books enough to put them in front of the world. I dream of seeing my books on the shelf at Target (Because I love Target. They're wonderfully addictive.) I dream of one day sitting down at a table across from a smiling fan and signing a book for them and knowing that I was able to make them feel as amazing as they make me feel. It's a partnership of sorts, I think. A give and take, because as much as I'd like to say I write for me, I also write with YOU in mind. I want to give you that story that makes you FEEL something amazing, and I want to see and hear and read about it, because that is my motivation to continue creating.

So, I'll make a deal with you. When April 8th rolls around, please pick it up and tell your friends. Help me spread the word, and in return, I'll keep trying my best to put that smile on your face. Together, I think we can rock this baby out and make it something special!

In the meantime, teasers! This is one of my favorites :)
