Dashing Through The Snow by M. Leighton ~ Now Available & Review

Need some fun to brighten up the holidays?  Need some heat to warm up the cold nights?  Well,this is just the thing.  DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW, a sexy, snowy Christmas story by M. Leighton is LIVE!

A dash of perfect for the holidays!

Dilyn Hart hates Christmas, so when her boss (and ex-boyfriend) hands her an assignment to interview champion snowboarder and gorgeous playboy extraordinaire, Dash Grainger, on Christmas Eve, she takes it. There are several things she doesn’t plan for—a surly driver, a chalet in the middle of nowhere, a freak snowstorm—but the biggest surprise of all is Dash himself.

Dash Grainger lives for the high, and so far in his twenty-six years, he’s never met anyone or anything he loves more. Nothing has ever thrilled him as much as slick snow, cold air, and breakneck speed.

Until he meets Dilyn.

But one perfect night doesn’t mean clear, blue skies the next day. Some storms can’t be weathered.

Christmas might just be one of them.

Marshmallows, the Colorado Rockies, Christmas Eve...they are have a new meaning to me now.  And that meaning is all wrapped up in this novella.  

A novella!

One of the few authors that can wrap my heart up in a very short number of pages is M. Leighton.  That makes this a perfect read to warm up your the holidays.

It's sexy.

It's fun.

It's a quickie.

It captures your heart.

It's HOT. 

And it's a holiday book.

That's the perfect package for reading in December.  

The characters are endearing.  I loved how how feisty and strong Dilyn is and how sexy yet tender Dash is.  I adore the reason he's called Dash.  Love them both.

I love that the cover makes sense with the story.  That I could read it in an evening without staying up too late.

I love how the story just captured me and the next thing I knew I was stressed enough to go post on Facebook.  Yes.  I did that.  I hit a point where I was just so worried about these two.  I wanted so much for them to fight for each other.  I just needed to talk to someone who knew the ending.  Not to know it too but to be told to read on.  It's okay.

And I did read on.  And I'm just so happy I did because that's the point where it became charming.  And the sighing began.  It was perfectly what I needed to read.

If you enjoy contemporary romance then you need this book this holiday season. 

                                          

Levi's Blue by M. Leighton ~ Review

Source:  Received copy in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Four beautiful days. Three steamy nights. One breathtaking love.

Levi Michelson. He wanted four dates. Four opportunities to prove I could trust him. Four chances to change my mind about him.

I agreed.

Probably not my smartest decision. He was everything I knew to avoid—gorgeous, charming, sexy as hell—but I couldn’t help myself. When he touched me the whole world disappeared. I should’ve known I could lose myself to him, that he could be the one man to destroy me.

I guess it’s true what they say—some things are too good to be true. And Levi Michaelson might just be one of them.

Review...

There are great books and then there are great books by M. Leighton.  There is a difference.  This authors books aways have more.  The characters capture your heart.  The story has some twists and holds you bound in its pages.  The writing is expert.  It all rolls together to be so much more than just a great book.  This one is definitely one of her best.

I adore Evie.  She has quirks and strength.  Mostly I admire her for her lemonade making skills.  True perfection right there.  Of course she falls for the gorgeous Levi - hehe.  I'm laughing as I write this because of the references to the story I am giving you without giving you anything at all.  If you are wondering?  You'll need to grab this one and devour it the way I did.

And Levi.  Oh. My. Goodness.  I fell for Levi.  I fell hard.  He is yummy.  He is kind.  He is gorgeous.  He has secrets.  And, of course, no women has captured him.  His player ways may be a bit overstated but he has no interest in one women for the rest of his life.  His dates with Evie change that but he's stubborn and doesn't realize it very quickly.  Adorable.

Their story is complex and full.  It's not an easy relationship to put together but I was cheering for them, hoping they could find a way.  It's classic M. Leighton, though, and there was no doubt in my mind a way would be found.

The secondary characters provoked my emotions.  I adored Evie's best friend and hated Levi's ex.  They both play a big role in the story and I'm not surprised my emotions got involved.

This story is the best!  It's a book to devour and savor in equal measures!  When you want the good stuff, pick this one up!

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT, SEPTEMBER 14, 2016

LEVI’S BLUE BY M. LEIGHTON

The moment I pull open the door, I’m wound into strong arms, dragged into the hall, and crushed against a broad chest. I land against him with a gasp, my palms splayed over two perfectly rounded pectorals.

“I forgot something,” Levi murmurs, and then his mouth is on mine.

This is no tentative kiss, no shy exploration.  This kiss is meant to consume. 

And consume it does.

Within seconds of flesh meeting flesh, I’m tilting my head to the side and parting my lips to let him in.

Levi Michaelson… He’s an explosion to every one of my senses.  He tastes like the wine we had with our gourmet hotdogs. We both laughed about the incongruity of it, but neither could deny how delicious the combination was.

He smells like the night air, as though it clings to him, cloaking him in its dark, satiny mystery.

He feels like every romance novel I’ve ever read.  Strong, warm, inviting.  Tantalizing, every angle and plane begging my fingers to touch. 

He moves against me so slightly I might not notice if I weren’t so attuned to sensation.  But I am, and I do notice.  He shifts as though he can’t get close enough. I know, because I feel it, too. 

I reach and grasp and cling, feeling him, feeling this kiss with every nerve, every surface, every sense.  The swipe of his tongue, the nip of his teeth, the rumble of his groan when I thread my fingers into his short, silky hair to pull him deeper.  He thrills every inch of me as effortlessly as the wind teases leaves on a tree.

The Empty Jar by M. Leighton ~ Giveaway

Three months touring Europe. 

Romantic. Dazzling. Unforgettable. 

The trip of a lifetime.

But some lifetimes are shorter...

We couldn’t have known it would work out this way.

No one could. No one could’ve guessed that something so beautiful could be so tragic.

But it is tragic.

Yet so, so beautiful.

That’s what sacrifice is—beauty and tragedy.

It’s pain and suffering for something or someone you love.

And this is the ultimate sacrifice. 

One stunning act of true love.

This is our story.

Our true love story.

Cover Reveal ~ The Empty Jar by M. Leighton

Cover Reveal

The Empty Jar

by

M. Leighton

Releasing May 8, 2016

Today is cover reveal day for M. Leighton's upcoming release entitled The Empty Jar.  She wanted to say a little something about the cover before we reveal it and the description, so here she is.

First of all, a huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to all of you amazing women who are helping me reveal this cover today. I appreciate everything you do for me, for authors in general and for this community.  As a reader, I love you, too:)

Secondly...

OMG OMG OMG!  IT'S FINALLY TIME TO REVEAL!

I feel like I've been waiting AGES to share this with you!

This cover... GAH!  Y'all, it took me forEVER to get it just right. There was a certain "feel" that I wanted to achieve with it and I wasn't happy until I felt that "feel" jumped right out when I looked at it. I wanted the cover to speak of the book. I wanted it to show the highs and lows, the sweet and the poignant, the depth of it, if you will.  And finally...finally, I feel like it does:)  You might not realize just how much NOW, but once you read this story, you'll be like, "Yeah.  That cover is perfect for this book!"

When I got the paperback proof in the other day, I held it in my hands and I just stared at it.  Not only is this story extremely special to me, but this is probably my favorite cover of all my books.  Ever.  When I look at it, I see so much more than just a picture.  I see all the things that I find in life, as well as what I put into the story that is The Empty Jar.  It's a blend of happy pinks and brooding blues. It's light and it's dark.  There are highs and there are lows.  There is morning and there is night.   But if you notice the sky on this cover, there are little flickers of brightness in the bodies of the lightning bugs. Life is that way, too. Even in the darkest part of the night, there is a spark of hope.  There is beauty.  There is the romantic glow of a full moon, the silvery face of your mate, the delicate twinkle of fireflies. It's all there if we look closely enough—that balance of beauty and tragedy.

And love.

Always love.

Below is a little more about the book. It's hard to tell you much without spoiling anything, but I think you can get a feel for it.  It's such a special story.  So raw, so real. I honestly can't wait for y'all to read it! I hope you love IT and the cover as much as I do:)

If you want to know more about how it came about, you can read my blog post about it here.

But before I get to that...THE COVER!
