Love in Scrubs Series Book Tour and Giveaway


Joshua
Love
in Scrubs Book 1
by
AJ Renee


Genre:
Contemporary Romance 

From
the author of the St. Fleur series comes a fun tale of finding love
in the emergency room. 


The
single life had been treating Hazel Rivera better than she’d
anticipated. With no one to report to, she did as she pleased, which
included if and when she’d have a man in her bed. She felt no shame
in satisfying her own needs, but when toy-play goes wrong, she earns
herself a visit to the emergency room.

Squirming
in pain, the last thing she expected was to find a sexy nurse
assigned to her room. She could lose herself in a man like him—sinful
eyes, full lips, and a kindhearted attitude—but before she can
catch Joshua Bradley again, she’s sent home.

When
life hands them a second chance, will they risk their hearts?

Jason
Love
in Scrubs Book 2

Being
stood up for a first date was the last thing on Ava King’s mind.
Yet Mr. Wrong opened the door to Mr. Sexy, who’s already sitting
next to her at the bar. One drink becomes two, and going against her
own code, she goes home with the charming stranger.


Waking
in Jason’s foreign bed sends her into a panic, and she escapes
before any morning-after awkwardness can ensue.

Can
fate bring them together again to see if their chemistry transcends
one steamy night of passion?
 










Wes
Love
in Scrubs Book Three

Nurse.
Mom. Daughter. Natalia Kruze wore many hats, but mom was the role she
was most proud of. As a single mom, she couldn’t be everywhere at
once, but she had been blessed with a patient son and helpful
parents. Dating wasn’t high on the priority list, so it was safe to
say it had been years since she’d experienced any kind of
electrifying spark from a man.


With
her defenses low after missing another soccer game, a patient catches
her eye. Sexy and decidedly stubborn, Wes Wilkins succeeds in leaving
his ER visit with her number.

Had
they finally found the love they deserved, or will they put their
dreams second to their kids’ needs?

Fantasy
Man
by
Jean-Michel Desire
Genre:
Fantasy 

The
world nations are suddenly faced with terrorism in an unprecedented
simultaneous attack worldwide. An urgent secret meeting is held with
religious and political authorities of all nations to discuss the
ensuing message from a ghostly character by the name of Fantasy Man,
who not only claims full responsibility, but challenges all with a
precise ultimatum. General Timothy Powell is assigned to the
leadership of the taskforce with mission to find and stop Fantasy
Man, but this assignment could not come at a worse time for the
General who faces some very personal and delicate problems.
A
British archeologist sets up an elaborate scheme to select a group of
civilians to accompany him through a paranormal adventure never
before attempted, an adventure that he has nicknamed ‘The war to
end all wars’. Fascinated at the prospects of this paranormal
adventure, the civilians will soon find themselves in a web of deceit
while truly embarking in the unknown world of the supernatural. By
the time the hidden agenda of the archeologist is understood, deepest
and darkest secrets will have been revealed and only friendship and
love will provide a slim chance for the civilians to come out alive.
But who has deceived who?
A
mastermind engineer disillusioned with the lethargy and inertia of
the corporate world seizes an unexpected opportunity to start his own
business, an entertainment outfit unlike any other. How could he
possibly have known that he would become entangled with the taskforce
against Fantasy Man?
Racing
around the globe as well as around the clock to piece the challenging
puzzle laid out by Fantasy Man will prove to be a quasi-impossible
task for the authorities… until fate does what it does best,
bringing together the most unlikely group of people to solve the
riddle. But Fantasy Man had one last defiant act up his sleeve,
another simultaneous worldwide show of force with a fatal outcome…
What
would you do faced with the enormity of Fantasy Man’s challenge and
a deadline to stop him?
If
you were selected for the archeologist’s paranormal adventure,
would you willingly take on the challenge of ‘war to end all wars’?
Would
you give up your dream of a highly successful self-made career in the
entertainment domain, to save the world, or simply to ease the burden
of a troubled soul?


Fantasy
Man will change your world forever, if you dare take his challenge… 



Jean-Michel
Désiré was born on the magnificent tropical island of Mauritius,
where he completed his primary and secondary studies in compulsory
bilingual French and English languages. An acute love of reading
combined with a great interest in art (drawing and painting) pushed
Jean-Michel from a young age to want to write his own comic books,
but a lack of opportunity blocked his efforts. It was this same lack
of opportunity of the time that triggered a need to perform further
studies. At age 22, Jean-Michel left Mauritius for North London,
England, where he completed a bachelor of Engineering in Electronics
followed by a Master of Philosophy in Microelectronics.
While
concluding his Master’s degree, Jean-Michel met the lady who became
his wife a year later, year during which they also moved to Montreal
Canada where Jean-Michel had been offered an engineering position in
the Aerospace industry. Life had its own agenda, and within the first
eighteen months, their daughter was born in the middle of a snow
storm in Montreal. Six years later, their son came into the world and
the obvious demands of family life became the main priorities.
During
the winter of 2008, Jean-Michel slipped on the ice during a storm and
fractured his ankle in multiple locations. Recovering at home after
surgery, Jean-Michel decided that the time had come to revive his
passion for writing. Within two years, his first book ‘The
Storyteller’s Nights’ was published. The positive feedback from
readers fueled Jean-Michel to exploit his bilingualism and he
translated the story into French, ‘Les Nuits du Conteur’ being
published in 2015. He then felt the wind in his sails and published
‘Fantasy Man’ in 2017, and recently, ‘Revanche (Revenge)’
(the follow-up to ‘Les Nuits du Conteur’) in 2019. ‘Fantasy
Man’ is presently nominated for an award, top ten finalist to be
announced on 22 August 2019. He has just completed the first draft to
his next English book, entitled ‘The Miracle Ladies’, which he
plans to send to the publisher within the next few months, after the
essential rounds of self-editing.
Engineer
by day, writer by night, Jean-Michel plans to keep letting his
imagination go wild while capturing it all on paper. Surrounded by a
great family, he plans to write a whole lot more. When he is not
writing, he spends quality time with his family and travels yearly
back to Mauritius to visit his Mom and brothers.

ALPHA

Enormous,
scarred and scary, Black Ridge Wolf Pack leader Aldric Forst has
never drawn the eye of any Omega. Why would he? But, on this, the
night of what he swears is his last selection celebration, everything
is different. One of those most beautiful, magical and powerful
women, the niece of the king and queen themselves, wants him. And
Aldric has never wanted anything more in return. No force—no matter
how dark, no matter how powerful—will take Helena from him.

Chance
The
Black Ridge Wolf Pack Book 2

SHROUDED
IN DARKNESS...


If
it hadn't been for King Leonidas, white witch Ceva would have roamed

her heritage was a curse she'd carry around for all her days. Now she
fights for her king and kingdom, a fierce warrior on a mission to
prove she is worthy of the trust and friendship the king has
afforded. When she meets Lothar, captain of the Black Ridge Wolf Pack
guard, she glimpses a future she never thought possible. But once he
knows her truths, he will surely reject her.

ONLY
HE CAN SET HER FREE

loyal, she would make the perfect mate for any man. Lothar wants to
be that man, but Ceva remains elusive. Sure, she flirts, and they
dance around each other, but Lothar wants more. When his team joins
hers on a dangerous mission, he learns her secrets, which makes her
more extraordinary, not the pariah she believes she is. But her past
is about to catch up with her, and only his love can save them from
certain death.
