Summary from Goodreads:
One clue… what does it mean?
Ken, the leader of the Blue Men of the Minch, has kidnapped Evan. Before they left, Evan was able to leave a package for Meara—her grandfather's necklace wrapped in a cloth napkin with one word written in blood. Azuria. Unfortunately, Meara doesn't understand it and neither does her dad or Kieran.
When Dad and Aunt Brigid attempt to rescue Evan, Meara and Kieran begin to train the clan on how to fight and defend their home. A war is brewing, and Meara is determined their people must prepare for the battle. The training sessions are long and arduous, but the Selkies work hard to learn.
Meanwhile, Evan wakes and finds himself in Belle Tresor, the home of sirens. He's bound to his blue form, unable to transform to human, and Ken has plans to use Evan's powers to destroy the Selkies. Thankfully, he's not alone. He befriends a siren named Deanna and several Blue Men. Can he trust them to help him escape or do they have ulterior motives?
As both sides prepare for an ultimate confrontation, the stakes are high and friendships are tested. Some will rise to be victorious. Some will be destroyed. But love and loyalty will be always remembered in this exciting conclusion to the Never Forgotten series.

Release Day Blitz & Giveaway - Mia and the Bad Boy (Backstage Pass #2) by Lisa Burstein
Author: Lisa Burstein
Release Date: 05/19/15
Publisher: Entangled Crush
Summary from Goodreads:
This good girl’s about to meet her match…
Ryder Brooks is living the dream—he’s famous, loved by millions of girls, and miserable. All he really wants is to write his own music, not Seconds to Juliet’s sugary sweet pop. In order to do that, though, the “bad boy” of the band will have to play by the rules. And that includes behaving with his new—and super cute—über-good-girl tutor.
Mia Reyes is in fangirl heaven. Tutoring her favorite member of her favorite band? It’s a dream come true…until it turns into a complete nightmare. Ryder is nothing like she thought. He’s crude, arrogant, and pretty much a total jerk. And the worst part? She’s roped into pretending to be his girlfriend so that no one finds out he’s being tutored. Fake kisses, plenty of PDA, and even sharing his hotel room…
But sometimes even the baddest of bad boys needs a little redemption.

Blog Tour Promo & Giveaway - The Occasional Diamond Thief by J.A. McLachlan
The Occasional Diamond Thief
Author: J.A.
McLachlan
Release Date: 05/15/15
Summary from Goodreads:
The Occasional Diamond
Thief is the tale of Kia, who is courageous and practical with a quirky sense
of humor, and a loner.
When 16-yr-old Kia is training to be a translator, she is co-opted into travelling to Malem. This is the last place in the universe that Kia wants to be — it’s the planet where her father caught the terrible illness that killed him — but it’s also where he got the magnificent diamond that only she knows about. Kia is convinced he stole it, as it is illegal for any off-worlder to possess a Malemese diamond.
Even worse, Kia must translate for Agatha, who is as different from Kia as it's possible for two people to be - Agatha is idealistic, naïve, and compassionate.
Using her skill in languages – and another skill she picked up, the skill of picking locks - Kia unravels the secret of her father's mysterious gem and learns what she must do to set things right: return the diamond to its original owner. But how will she find out who that is when no one can know that she, an off-worlder, has a Malemese diamond? Can she trust the new friends she’s made on Malem, especially handsome but mysterious 17-year-old Jumal, to help her?
And will she solve the puzzle in time to save Agatha, the last person she would have expected to become her closest friend?

Book Description:
Sensible dance instructor Tessa Gage likes her life organized, risk-free and on her own terms. When her cop brother goes missing, his crooked partner tries to kill her, and a handsome stranger claims he’s come to protect her, she’s forced to leave her comfort zone. With more dance and business sense than survival skills and no idea who to trust, Tessa has no choice but to rely on this man who’d rather be anywhere but by her side.
When carefree carpenter Matt Rylan gets a late night call from an Army buddy who once saved his life, he finds himself where he never again wanted to be—responsible for someone else. Honor demands Matt cooperate, but he never expects his simple babysitting job to test the limits of his self-control. Nor does he expect it to explode into a race against time for his very freedom.
As Tessa and Matt get closer to the truth, and to each other, Tessa learns to step outside the safety of her world to help set the wheels of justice in motion. For Matt, supporting this courageous woman suddenly becomes everything to him. Yet, his biggest challenge remains sharing his closed-off heart with her before the danger silences them both forever.

Book Blast Tour & Giveaway - Mermen by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff
Mermen
Author: Mimi Jean Pamfiloff
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Book Description:
From New
York Times Bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff
These
Mermen Don't Have Tails, They're Deadly as Hell, and They've Got Something He
Wants...
INFAMOUS
BACHELOR and SELF-MADE BILLIONAIRE ROEN DORAN IS A BASTARD. Yes, he knows it.
And no, he doesn't care. He's got money and power, and he depends on no one.
But when his estranged father dies, willing him a secret island, Roen will come
face to face with an even bigger secret: its occupants. And these savage,
sea-obsessed warriors are quick to make their position clear: Leave now or die.
There's
only one problem. Nobody tells Roen what to do. Ever. Oh, and one other thing.
He's just met the island's other new "guest" and something about her
brings out his possessive side.
SOLE
SHIPWRECK SURVIVOR LIV STRATTON had been adrift at sea for ten grueling days
when salvation miraculously appeared: an uncharted island. Only, the
deceivingly beautiful men who live there aren't interested in saving her. No,
not at all. Because they somehow believe she is their property, a gift from the
ocean to do with as they please. This is not good.
Her only
hope? Billionaire Roen Doran, of all people. A man who's said to care for
nothing and no one. But if he's so heartless, then why is he about to risk
everything to help her?
~ ~ ~
NOTE FROM
MIMI ABOUT MERMEN: Anyone who has read the Accidental Series or King knows I
love to flip things on their heads. Mermen is no exception. THIS IS NOT A
FLUFFY STORY ABOUT men with fins and tails who sweep ladies off their feet and
make them long to be mermaids. Uh-uh. This is NOT that kind of story. Nobody in
their right mind would want to hang out with these very beautiful yet dangerous
men (who don't actually have tails, fins, or gills, by the way) NOR would
anyone want to be their mates. Well, at least, not me! Run. Away!!
Hope you
enjoy the ride. - MIMI

Regeneration XAuthor: Ellison Blackburn
Book Description:
If Charlotte Rhys Fenn could do it all over, knowing what she knows now, she would be different.
Charley leads a comfortable life with her best friend and perfect match, Michael, a man with whom she shares two lovely pet children (canine and feline), and a home in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. She’s fortunate to have a caring and supportive family, and two amazing friends, Inez and Becks. Professionally, she holds a secure position as editor of a respected healthcare magazine. Her life is settled, as is her future.
Acquiring this existence of hers hadn't been easy. For at least twenty years she felt like a wind-up toy, methodically following preprogrammed rules—step one ... step two. She even imagined herself as a minuscule, but essential, cog inside a big machine with the mechanical brain. No matter what she tells herself, it hasn’t helped since another thought flutters through her mind as frequently: Going through the motions is the same as coasting toward nothingness.
It is 2025, the time is right. Technology, in a rapidly advancing world, makes it possible to reimagine the future by recreating the past or, more aptly, by creating another past.
Charley must either embrace her well-earned, sedate lifestyle, or invite a change that could alter her future irreversibly. It's a difficult decision, one that could destroy all she has endeavored for, turning their life not only upside down, but backwards, forwards, and inside out.
