Bolt from the Blue by Tania Sparks - Book Teaser

**This is a book teaser posted to promote the book and provides me with additional entries into their giveaway.  Giveaway link is listed below if you want to enter to win a $10 Amazon gift card.  This giveaway is not hosted or controlled by Fabulous and Brunette.  I am not responsible for this giveaway.  I am just passing on the information on from a third party.**

Bolt from the Blue by Tania Sparks
Nikki’s the flamboyant rhythm guitarist of the hard rock band Oblivion. He’s a sexy rock star man-whore who’s accustomed to a life of music, partying and a constant stream of girls that are ready, willing and able!
Trixie’s a feisty party girl who likes to have fun. She makes the most of her single lifestyle and happy-go-lucky attitude. But she’s also a hard-nosed business woman who knows what she wants and goes out and gets it. She lives her life by the motto ‘Work hard. Play hard’.
Neither of them ‘do relationships’. But when their frequent hook-ups start to develop into something more they realize that the connection and pull between them is undeniable. The prospect of wanting more than just mind-blowing sex from each other is a total shock to both of them and it hits them like a bolt from the blue.
Can they change their partying ways and give in to the irresistible chemistry that sizzles between them? Do they even want to? And will their past catch up with them to prevent them from giving the whole relationship thing a proper try?
Warning: This story is a rock star erotic romance. It contains hot rock stars, sizzling sexual encounters and language that you would expect from heavy rock musicians used to a life of sex, booze and rock and roll.
Bolt From The Blue contains graphic sex scenes and is strictly 18+ only.
This novel is Book 2 in the 'Oblivion On Tour' series. Each book in the series follows a different band member and their quests for love. Bolt From The Blue can be read as a stand-alone, but if you plan on reading the entire series, it would be best to read Heaven Sent (Book 1) first.

Finding Sadie by Brandace Morrow - Book Teaser

Finding Sadie by Brandace Morrow
At fifteen, I took on the role of Popper out of necessity, forgetting the person I was. That's when I became the lead singer of a grunge metal band.
Now at twenty-two I'm cocky, a pessimist, and violent. My shrink is even fed up with me, suggesting I try something radical to appreciate the value of life.
She gives me a card that leads me to him, and ultimately I find . . . me.

Addy and the Smart Guy by Carter Ashby
If it weren’t for her best friends, Zoey and Maya, Addy Hart would be a prudish, uptight Barbie doll. Thankfully, through love and persistence, they’ve helped introduce her to her wild side. Unfortunately, even her wild side doesn’t have the courage to go after the one thing she wants more than life itself.
Dr. Greyson McDaniel has resisted his lovely teaching assistant for three years, now. He has no intentions of endangering his job or her reputation. But as spring break approaches, he’s seized with a wicked impulse. He invites her to his mountain retreat for a week. Just one week of intense escape.
It seems logical to them both that purging three years worth of pent up sexual need can only be of benefit. Surely then they can go back to business as usual. But as Addy quickly discovers, sex is less like a once-a-year-checkup and more like a persistent, escalating addiction. Furthermore, she’s not at all certain that Grey’s feelings run as deeply as her own. She’s not sure which is worse: the probability that he doesn’t love her; or the possibility that he does.

The Glided Cuff by Lauren Smith
Every passion has its price . . .
Journalist Sophie Ryder has been following Emery Lockwood’s story since she was a little girl. There has always been something in his haunted eyes that she couldn’t resist and now, when she’s certain he holds the key to solving a string of kidnappings, she’ll do anything to speak to him. Even if it means venturing deep into the seductive world of the Gilded Cuff, a luxurious BDSM club on Long Island’s Gold Coast and Emery’s personal playground.
From the moment Sophie enters his shadowy, sensual domain, Emery Lockwood knows this tantalizing new little sub was meant to belong to him. However, Sophie wants more from Emery than just pleasure . . . she wants his past. And that is something he isn’t willing to give—no matter who is asking. But every moment he spends with Sophie, Emery feels his control slipping and he knows it’s only a matter of time before he surrenders to her heart, body, and soul.

Nutritional Yeast Superfood from Sari Foods Co Review


***I received this product for free using Tomoson.com.  However, my review, opinions, and thoughts are my own.  I only recommend products that I trust, personally use, and believe will be good for my readers***


Be sure to check out their Amazon page here:

Product Intro:

Nutritional yeast is a delicious salty, creamy, nutty, cheese-tasting superfood can be sprinkled on just about everything! It's naturally very low in sodium and fat and is dairy and gluten free!

Hint: Great on vegetables, tacos, pasta, popcorn, soup, baked potatoes, dips, salads.

Why choose Natural, Non-Fortified Nutritional Yeast?

Most nutritional yeast products are fortified with excessive amounts of synthetic vitamins to increase the nutritional count. We believe that synthetic, man-made vitamins are not only unnecessary, but that they can be harmful and toxic to our bodies, causing nutrient imbalances and forcing our kidneys and liver to work overtime while our bodies struggle to absorb them.

We can promise you this: the abundance of vitamins & nutrients plus the delicious cheese flavor found in this bag of molasses-grown nutritional yeast are 100% whole food based and naturally occurring - nothing synthetic here - just as nature intended!

Our nutritional yeast is comprised of 50% protein (a complete, bioavailable and vegan source), over 20% fiber, contains all 18 amino acids and 15 different minerals (including iron, selenium and zinc) as well as a natural vitamin B-complex and Beta-glucans (known for their extreme immune enhancing properties).

Product Details:

PRIORITIZE YOURSELF WITH NATURAL (NON-FORTIFIED) OVER SYNTHETIC. The reality is that most nutritional yeast products are fortified with synthetic, man-made vitamins that can be harmful to your health. At Sari Foods, this goes against everything we stand for - so we decided to change things, making a nutritional yeast product that is 100% whole food based and naturally occurring - nothing synthetic here - just as nature intended!

OPTIMIZE YOUR HEALTH WITH SUPER NUTRIENTS. Sari Foods Nutritional Yeast is naturally comprised of 50% protein (a complete, bioavailable and vegan source), over 20% fiber, contains all 18 amino acids and 15 different minerals (including iron, selenium and zinc) as well as a natural vitamin B-complex and Beta-glucans (known for their extreme immune enhancing properties plus their ability to lower bad cholesterol).

LOSE WEIGHT NATURALLY. Enjoy guilt-free deliciousness with this salty, creamy, nutty, cheese-tasting superfood that can be sprinkled on just about everything and is bound to become your secret weapon in weight loss! In addition to being extremely low in calories, fat and sodium, it is dairy free, gluten free, MSG free and chocked full of vitamins, minerals, fiber and protein. For cooking inspiration, you will receive 50+ yummy recipes via email after purchase.

FIGHT AGING & FREE RADICALS. With highly absorbable amounts of nucleotides (the building blocks of DNA & RNA), Nutritional Yeast promotes cellular repair and regeneration. Then, by combining the two antioxidants glutathione and selenium, Nutritional Yeast Flakes create a special enzyme called glutathione peroxidase that is known to neutralize free radicals and help protect us from their damage.

END YOUR ENERGY CRISIS. 15-40% of Americans are deficient in B vitamins which can lead to deep and ongoing fatigue, brain fog, irritability, depression, and even insomnia (as they play a crucial role in melatonin production). The body depends on B6 to make the hormones serotonin and norepinephrine, which affect both mood and feelings of happiness. Improved Vitamin B intake helps us sleep well and helps balance our hormones and increase our energy levels, clarity & overall mental function.

My Review:

I love cheese, but for health and diet reasons I have to limit my intake.  So I was thrilled to be asked to review this product, Nutritional Yeast Superfood from Sari Foods Co.

Nutritional Yeast Superfood comes in a small, 8 ounce, glossy, yellow-orange bag.  I liked that the bag was resealable which kept the yeast fresh and secure.  Immediately after opening the bag I smelled a pleasant, but strong cheese and nut scent.

I love how easily this product was to use and how complementary this product is as it goes with so many food dishes.  Nutritional Yeast Superfood is flakey and is in like a powder form which made pinching and sprinkling this product on foods simple.

I have used this product, Nutritional Yeast Superfood on chili, tacos, baked potatoes, salads, popcorn, spaghetti, rice, soup, hummus, and ranch dip.  I usually just sprinkled this product on top of the food item and it naturally soaked into the food.  However, with the hummus and ranch dip I stirred and mixed the Nutritional Yeast Superfood until it became creamy and well blended.  Nutritional Yeast Superfood tasted a lot like parmesan cheese with a hint of nut.

This product also came with an email from the company that provided a 50+ recipe book.  I thought that was a wonderful addition to the product and it provided several food inspiration ideas.

I love that this product is comprised of 50% protein and has over 20% fiber which contains all 18 amino acids and 15 different minerals.  I am always trying to increase my protein and fiber intake so I really liked that this product could help me meet my diet goals.

I also really like that this product is 100% whole food based and is naturally occurring.  Nutritional Yeast Superfood is also gluten free, dairy free, msg free, vegan, and low in sodium and fat.  I like knowing what ingredients are in the foods I eat and I feel safe eating Nutritional Yeast Superfood from Sari Foods Co.

Although this product is considered to help with weight loss, I did not lose any weight while using this product.  However, I could see this product as a positive life changer that helps you lose a few pounds a year.  Perhaps if you are an avid cheese eater and you were to completely replace your cheese consumption with Nutritional Yeast Superfood you would then reduce your calorie intake and therefore could possibly lose more weight.  Since I don't eat cheese on a regular basis, substituting this product doesn’t significantly decrease my calorie intake enough to lose weight.

I like the taste, how versatile this product is, and how it is super healthy and full of vitamins and nutrients.  There are several wonderful benefits that this product offers and I think it is a great addition to incorporate into your meals.  I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a cheese substitute whether it’s for diet or health reasons.
