Excerpt One:

“Life doesn’t always go as we expect it to. Even with the most marvelous of powers, we’re helpless against what’s written in the stars. Whether you believe in fate, or free will, there’s always some kind of plan, some intricate design which governs over us and keeps the balance. Even when that balance is threatened, tearing us away from those we love, we must continue to trust there is a purpose, and hold on tightly to those who still walk with us.”
“The humans have an interesting saying—there is a time and a season for everything. As supernatural beings, we also hold this belief true. Just as we rejoice in the blessings brought with each new life, we also mourn when one is extinguished. It’s particularly hard when death comes beckoning early, or without reason, but I would share with you this—don’t let grief weigh you down so much that you lose your way on the path. Feel what you will. Cry your tears, but always remember, even in the darkest of times there is hope. Remember those who have passed on and show your gratitude for them by continuing to live in a way that honors them. That way no life is ever wasted. Each life is revered and cherished.”


Excerpt Two:
I walked out into my bedroom to find a very large, very amused looking, vampire enforcer sprawled across my bed. His rich chuckle charged the air as he began to read out aloud from my romance novel.
“Oh, Bradley, you’re so strong. However will I live without you? Kiss me … kiss me now and I’ll be forever yours. I’m all a tremble waiting for you, my darling.” His high pitched attempt at sounding like a female made me forget for a moment to yell at him for teasing and I busted up laughing, my hand covering my mouth.
“Felicity. I’m so glad you’ve noticed my manliness. Please, touch me. Touch my ….” I watched him flip the book closed, taking a quick look at the cover, and he reopened to the spot his finger marked, “hard muscles and long flowing hair.” He snorted, clearly finding it funny and returned the book to its rightful spot.
“Please tell me you don’t enjoy that?” He looked at me incredulously, patting the space beside him on the bed as an invitation for me to come sit. “That was cheesy, and it’ll turn your brain to rot.”
“Hey, don’t mock my romance book, and you know that’s not what it says either. Go ahead and laugh, but you don’t know what you’re missing!” I flopped myself down, slapping him for good measure on his leg. “I’m sure it’s more fascinating than what you read, Mr. I’m-A-Broody-Vampire. Probably something heavy and extremely tragic.” I rolled my eyes at him, mocking him right back.
“You think you’re so funny. For your information, I just finished a murder mystery. It was quite entertaining.”
“Really?” I turned my head to look at him. He didn’t come across as someone who’d be interested in the genre, or any for that matter.
“No. I don’t have time for such luxuries, but if I did, it wouldn’t be something with the title “Surrendering to the Mistress of Promises.” He eyed the book again.
“I’ll let you borrow it when I’m done. It’ll be our little secret.”


Excerpt Three:

The day she called, she was excited about a man she’d met who she thought would be perfect for me.
“It’s like he stepped out of one of those books you love so much,” she chattered over the phone. “Surely you won’t find fault with him as well. Just wait until you meet him.” She continued to prattle on and I tuned her out.
I couldn’t help but groan. One thing I loathed was blind dates because they were just so painfully awkward. There was the overwhelming need to fill every moment with something so we wouldn’t spend the entire date in unbearable silence. Trying to think of a way to break it to the guy gently when it was obvious to me, it just wouldn’t work.
I was already beginning to think of how I could wheedle my way out of this meeting when the doorbell rang.
“Tell me you didn’t, Mother,” I interrupted. I had no doubt she knew what I was talking about. The woman had the ears of a hawk and would undoubtedly have heard the chimes.
“Just do this for me. I want grand babies, Darcy. Wear something pretty with your hair up. Men like that.” I swear she was oblivious to how uncomfortable these meetings made me.
“Can you at least tell me what his name is?” I asked before I went to my doom.
“His name is Mason. Mason O’Connor. Be nice to him or so help me I’ll ….” I cut her off mid rant as I quickly said goodbye and hung up. I’d heard her threats so many times I could rehearse them verbatim in my sleep.
The door chime rang again.
“Let’s go see who the lucky contestant is,” I grumbled under my breath. I swung the door open and was floored by the battering of emotions that hit me with such a force I staggered. I would’ve fallen if Mason hadn’t reached out and grabbed hold of my arm.
“Already falling for me?” He chuckled, his eyes never leaving my face, his stare devouring.
Any other time I would’ve felt uncomfortable being under such intense scrutiny, but the look of hunger and triumph made my skin tingle and my breath hitched.
It was him. Don’t ask me how or why, I wasn’t a big believer in Fate, but standing before me, in all his glory was the guy from my dream. My wolf howled as she also recognized what it meant. Ours, she bayed over and over, stirring my insides into a frenzy.


Excerpt Four:

I peered around Mason’s body and grinned at Daniel. “Hey.”
A look of concern and compassion replaced the previous cockiness. “Hey, sweetheart. You doing okay? You sure did scare us.” That seemed to be the general consensus and I nodded, indicating I was fine.
“Good. I don’t ever want to arrive on a scene and see that again, do you hear me? No more going off by yourself.” Daniel noted the look Mason gave him and chuckled again, “Looks like Our Most Excellent and Noble One has already covered that and moved onto the punishing phase.”
“Is there a reason why you’re still here?” Impatience was beginning to creep into Mason’s voice. I wasn’t helping matters either as I begun to nudge my lips against his neck, placing soft kisses.
“There is, my most Beloved Benefactor.”
I couldn’t help it. Laughter exploded out of my mouth and I threw my head back in mirth.
“What the heck is going on? Liege? Beloved Benefactor? Royal Eminence? Since when do people address you like that, Mason? Or should I say Most Magnificent Master?”
Mason dragged me away from resting on the wall quick enough to swat my behind with his hand. “Enough! Don’t encourage him, Darcy. Daniel has gotten it into his head I’m not being paid enough respect as the Alpha and is trying to instill in the younger pack members the importance of titles. I can’t turn around without someone bowing or spouting off some crazy name. Nothing I’ve done can convince them it’s not necessary. It’s driving me insane.” He puffed out a quick breath in frustration.
“Which is why I will continue,” Daniel interrupted, ducking as another piece of my furniture went flying. Mason rolled his eyes and grinned before turning back to look at his friend.


Excerpt Five:

“My, you really are a big, bad wolf.” I sighed when we finally pulled apart. My body felt completely languid, relaxed under his masterful touch and attention.
“Of course, nothing but the best for you, baby,” Mason punctuated his statement with another quick kiss. I loved seeing this side of him—the fierce and protective warrior, the determined and passionate lover.
I couldn’t help myself as I reached out to feel his face again. I caressed his cheek, running my fingers through his hair, knowing I wore a goofy smile as I did.
“So, is this where I say, “Oh, what big eyes you have,” Mr. Big, Bad Wolf?”
Mischief lit his stare and a devious smirk covered his lips. “Only if you want to hear, “All the better to see you with, my dear.” He made a point to sweep a knowing look over me before returning back to my gaze.
“I would then feel compelled to add, “Oh, what big ears you have.”
“All the better to hear you with, Darcy.” Mason played along, lowering his voice to a seductive whisper.
I brushed my finger over his bottom lip, eliciting a quick snap of his teeth. “Oh, what big teeth you have.” It came out breathless with anticipation, and I felt my body tense.
He paused, cocking his head to the side. He knew the next line, what he was meant to say, but nothing came. Hunger bore into me, desire coming off him in waves. I waited for him to finish—to ravish me. Instead, with a look I couldn’t quite decipher, he pulled back and rose to his feet.
What the heck is he doing?
Confused, I watched Mason look around the room. With a slight nod, he finally moved, scooping me up in his arms before plastering me against the closest wall.
“All the better to eat you with, my dear, and this looks like the ideal place for a sample.” With his left hand placed firmly by my head and his right secured around my waist, he bent slightly and nibbled at my mouth. Gentle brushes of his lips teased me back and forth and left me wanting more.
“Hmmm, this won’t do at all.” I felt myself being hoisted up, my legs wrapping easily around his waist. With my arms around his neck, I was pressed snuggly against him, my body beginning to melt into his.
Mason tugged at my hair, giving him better access to my mouth and neck. He leaned down, burying his face below my ear and took in a deep, long breath. “Yes, this is much better.”

Love (Crush, #3) by Lacey Weatherford Blog Tour


"You thought you had a #CRUSH. You thought you were #SMITTEN. Prepare your heart for full blown #LOVE as Dylan swoons his way to the top of your book boyfriend list!"
– Belinda Boring, Bestselling Author of the Mystic Wolves Series  



Love ( Crush #3 ) By Lacey Weatherford
Living happily ever after has always been part of the plan for Cami and Dylan, but when strange things begin happening around the Wilcock household, Cami simply believes she’s becoming forgetful.


However, when the incidents begin to escalate, both are left feeling vulnerable. Unable to figure out what’s going on, Dylan delves deeper into the mysterious happenings. But when the truth comes out, he finds himself faced with the biggest decision of his life—how far will he go to protect the one he loves?








Exclusive Teaser- Never before shared!
Lifting the damaged pillow, I examined the fabric, feeling my nerves skyrocket again. This didn’t look chewed up. It looked sliced. And it was one of the pillows from my side of the bed. Getting a garbage bag, I carefully, I put the contents inside and made my way into the kitchen. Pausing to stare at the block of sharp cutting knives on the counter, I noticed they all seemed to be in the right place. Grabbing a plastic baggie, I slid my hand inside and carefully began sliding each knife from its slot one at a time and examining it. I stopped when I arrived at a small paring knife, immediately spotting a tiny clump of black strings clinging near the base that exactly matched the color of my pillowcase. My heart was pounding. Unless Cami was pissed at me and had gone a little crazy, someone had been in my house—our house—with her.




"Lacey Weatherford keeps the surprises coming. Just when you think the story ended at SMITTEN, she hits us with a semi truck, POW, with another fantastic and explosive storyline. Makes you fall in #LOVE with the characters all over again!”
-Lisa Markson, The Paranormal Bookworm

“Dylan and Cami have done it again! They made me laugh, cry, and turned my heart into a puddle of goo! "LOVE" is the best book in this series yet, and I have enjoyed every step of the journey this series took me on!”
– Christina Racich, Pretty Lil Page Turners


My Review of Love:

Before I knew this tour was happening, I thought that Smitten was the end of this series. I was so excited to be apart of this tour! I want to thank Michelle for sending out the emails for book tours.

I love this book!!! I can't stop reading it. I tried not to cry. I definitely needed tissues. It is a beautiful and devastating situation that Lacey has put us in. Dylan and Cami first were crushing on each other, then they were smitten, and finally were are at full blown LOVE. I love Dylan because.....well, he is Dylan. He is hot and sexy, funny yet serious, and very determined as well as charismatic. Cami is a young, beautiful and talented girl who cares about the people close to her while looking at everybody's good side. Some time's that not a good thing for Miss-Goody-Two-Shoes as Dylan calls her. While reading this book, weird stuff keeps happening. I thought at first it was Cami, but I knew she could never hurt anyone or anything. It seems that people just can't get enough of Cami and Dylan. Why can't two people who are in love so much just live their lives without someone trying hurt one or both with their revenge? I hope this isn't the end of Cami and Dylan!!! And maybe we can read about Russ?!?!?!

inevitable?What lies beneath the hidden secret?
Can love rise above the
And most importantly, where will her fate lead her?
Amanda Chaste had lived what she considered an average life in New Jersey, looked after and cared for by her grandmother. But when she accidentally meets an enigmatic stranger from out of town, her world is drastically thrown upside down. A hidden secret has been buried in the past and not even Amanda can save herself from her own fate.
Conflicted and tormented within her own flesh, discovering her true identity will prove to be something that will change her life forever.








_____________________________________________________
The Immortal Sin Trilogy-
Book 2: Immortal Descent 
How far would you fall for answers?
Amanda has accepted her new life and the darkness has become more appealing than ever before because of Mitch. But when her world is thrown into a drastic downward spiral, she is left questioning everything. Amanda embarks on a nightmarish adventure and her faith is put to the ultimate test as she journeys onward to discover the true meaning behind family, love and her destiny between good and evil.


My Review for Immortal Sin:
First off, I would like to say that pizza is amazing. I didn't know it could change a Demon (LOL)!!! 
I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars. I will tell why, but first to explain the first two sentences above!! In                             the book, there is a girl named Amanda and she lives with her grandmother. Her father disappeared after she was born and her mother is the peace core, but never calls. One night, Amanda goes to her friend's party that she is hosting because her parents were out of the country and bumps into this guy. After that everything starts to change. Her eyes change for black, to pearl, and then back to normal. Then she meets Mitch. She know that he can give her the answers she needs. Mitch on the other had has questions of his own. Once she tells him of the eye color change, it all becomes clear. She is the Immortal Sin. It is like the nephilim, born from human and of fallen angel, but without the human part. Amanda is part Angel and part Demon. That is the Immortal Sin. 
By the way, did I mention that Mitch is the Demon? No! Well he is a Demon and for some reason he is changing. He is starting to feel things that he shouldn't. I mean he is a demon, why would he feel anything for Amanda? Well, we know how this will go. He is a demon. She is a Sin. They will get together. Their love is immortal and eternal, and blah blah blah. That is not how is goes. She needs to learn how to control her powers and Mitch can teach her. There is a sense of attraction, but she fights it as long as she can. She doesn't want to hurt. HE can't even say truth or please. Everything seems good, her best friend, Gregg, who is dating her other best friend, Alexia, is a watcher sent by her mother to protect her, her grandmother is an angel, and her demon loves pizza. Then another demon showed up.
The reason I gave this book a 4/5 is because it seemed to go on, and on , and on, until the action in the end with the other demon, Ravish. Amanda fights it, but Mitch just want to protect her and he figures the best way is if she is around him all the time. <---- a="" action="" all="" amp="" and="" angel="" bad.="" bit="" book="" but="" completely="" demons="" end.="" fantasy="" favorite="" fights="" i="" intended="" is="" it="" just="" like="" little="" maybe="" my="" no="" of="" others="" out="" paranormal="" pizza="" pun="" romance="" scene="" she="" so="" t="" that="" the="" there="" think="" to="" too.="" u="" understandable.="" was="" wasn="" whole="" will="">SIN
!!! 

My Review of Immortal Descent:
We have Mitch and Amanda together, Gregg and Alexia together, and Prom coming up soon!! All very exciting. Amanda just wants to love and be with itch all the time and Mitch wants the same, except everybody else says that she needs to work on balance and her angel side. Then a new Watcher by the name of Luca comes to help protect Amanda. She and Mitch fight and when Prom night comes around, he doesn't even show up. But, she knows something is wrong. She found Mitch's cell and has had a dream that showed her the underworld and Mitch in danger. She has to get there fast, but doesn't know where to go. Unfortunately, she has to see one person she never thought she would have to meet, her Father. 
 This is a great sequel to Immortal Sin! I give it a 5/5. There were bad moments, good moments, and very beautiful moments. I hated it when Mitch never showed up for Prom. I thought she might turn to Luca when Mitch didn't show up. Thankfully she didn't. Luca seems weird. I think he might be important later on.  She really loves Mitch. I love how she tries to help everyone, but does it her own way. She got to meet her demon father. He left to protect her, but he has a big secret. He does care about her no matter if he left. I totally recommend these books!!
