Saints N Sinners Presents: Blindsided by Juliet Braddock; #ReleaseBlitz, #NowAvailable, #OutNow, #Live

Release Blitz

Inspired by award-winning, bestselling author Juliet Braddock’s own experiences with vision loss, BLINDSIDED reunites two rival journalists who must decide if love really can triumph over their tumultuous past to build a new, albeit different, life together in the face of their greatest challenge yet.

Josie Rossi has trouble forgiving and forgetting.
Although she relinquishes sexual control, she’s daring and resilient. Born and
raised in New York City, she gets what she wants at whatever cost—everything
except for her former colleague, Oliver Billington.

Just as driven and successful as Josie in his own
right, Oliver has created a façade, exuding a valiant front that masks the
horrors he’s hiding. He lives an edgy existence, fighting every step of the way to forget the salacious moments of his relationship with Josie.

A chilling turn of fate sweeps these broken lovers into a fury of angst and lust. 
Josie returns to his life, forcing Oliver to unveil the emotions he’d harbored 
since their break-up a decade earlier.

The hands of time, however, didn’t sooth Josie’s
anger—or weaken her passion for Oliver. She can’t deny her own hunger, but her
doubts over his sincerity continue to linger.

Before they dare to consider a possible future
together, tragedy threatens to destroy every last shred of hope they shared. As
their lives change once again, Josie and Oliver must ultimately decide if trust
can salvage the remnants of their love.

Life changed dramatically for award-winning, bestselling author Juliet Braddock 
on January13, 2017.

After suffering with blurry vision, Juliet found herself in the emergency room, surrounded by a team of neurologists. The diagnosis was Pseudotumor Cerebri, a rare disease that
produces excess spinal fluid on the brain. She’d lost sight when the pressure
from the fluid damaged her optic nerves.

Two spinal taps and three surgeries—including a shunt to drain the fluids from her brain—did not restore her sight. All along, she wondered and worried if she’d ever write again.

“One of the saddest days of my life was having to pull BLEMISHED from Amazon because I couldn’t make the publication date,” Juliet said. “I remember speaking to the rep, and she was so kind when I told her I was about to have brain surgery. But my heart was falling out of my chest.”

A lifelong writer, Juliet began spinning stories as soon as she learned to put pencil to paper.
She refused to give up on her greatest passion, and she knew she had to find a
way to finish BLEMISHED and continue her career.

With some help from her neuro-ophthalmologist, Juliet discovered vision rehabilitation therapy and software that magnified her computer screen. “I was amazed by the technology
available for people who are blind or have low vision. And with the computer
software, I was able to finish the book.”

Since her brain surgery, Juliet has published BLEMISHED and SMITTEN, which won the National Indie Book Award for Erotica. All along, though, she plotted through another story inside her head.

“When I started vision rehab, I took the bull by the horns. I learned to use a cane. I kept my
mind open to devices and gadgets that could help me manage my vision loss. I
even made a career change,” Juliet said. “It was so important to me to return
to living a normal life again.”

As the story of BLINDSIDED began to unfold, Juliet had one goal. “I wanted to show people who might have lost sight that there is hope and help out there.”

In BLINDSIDED, vision loss disrupts
reporter Josie Rossi’s world, but she’s determined to recover with assistance
from the most unexpected places—and from former lover and rival journalist
Oliver Billington. As their lives converge again through
tragedy, Josie and Oliver must ultimately decide if trust can salvage the
remnants of their love. 

“You don’t realize how much you depend on your eyes—from my job to walking down steps to going to the theater and museums. Suddenly, everything I did in my old life seemed like it
depended on my sight.”

BLINDSIDED is dedicated to Juliet’s vision rehabilitation therapist, whom the author credits with giving her the courage to conquer this curve in the road.

Juliet also hopes to raise awareness of rare diseases that cause vision loss. “There are very few scientific facts on Pseudotumor, and I was asymptomatic.” By the time of her
diagnosis, the damage to her optic nerves was irreversible, and Juliet is now
legally blind. “But people need to know that this disease doesn’t have to be a
death sentence. You can work a full-time job. You can write that book you’ve
been plotting in your head.”

Since her last surgery, she’s traveled to visit friends both in the US and abroad, including a trip to Scotland. She’s also managed to keep up with her other hobbies of theater and
art with special binoculars that she wears to catch the latest Broadway musicals
and art exhibits in New York City.

Now, she considers every day a celebration. “I took life for granted when I was fully sighted,”
Juliet said. “My friends, my career—and my writing. I’ve learned how to
appreciate the world on a new level since my vision loss and brain surgery.”

In her spare time, Juliet loves travel, eighties music, wine, food, theater and all things French. When she’s not exploring the big cities of the world—most notably Paris—she lives
and writes in Brooklyn and is the proud cat mom to a very spoiled Russian Blue
rescue. She’s also a lifelong Duran Duran fan.

Saints And Sinners Books Presents: Smitten by Juliet Braddock; #ReleaseBlitz, #NowAvailable, #OutNow, #Live, #99Pennies

IT'S LIVE!

January Gallimore has arrived at a crossroad in life.

A short-lived scandal that had made her the darling of the BDSM community did little to damage her status as America's sweetheart. However, her career starring in romantic comedies hasn't given her any insights into figuring out her own love life.

For five years, January shared a long-distance love affair with French rock legend, Etienne Marceaux. Their relationship is passionate but comfortable. Caught in the whirlwind between New York and Paris, they indulge in stolen moments in between their chaotic celebrity lives.

Although Etienne certainly knows how to entertain her with his Dominance, January realizes that something is missing. Now a thirty-something actress, she wonders how long her career will endure, and she questions some of the decisions she’s made.

On a spontaneous trip with her best friend to Provence, January encounters a chance meeting with a younger Englishman, Nigel Hereford-Smyth. With his naivete and somewhat awkward aristocratic ways, Nigel, nevertheless, sweeps January off her Louboutin pumps.

As they romp about the French countryside, January tutors her young suitor on the finer points of BDSM, and Nigel unwittingly leads January on a deep exploration of what really matters in her life. While she allows herself to revel in the bliss of a possible new man in her life, she also realizes that Nigel carries his own set of baggage.

Forced to leave Nigel by her filming schedule, January returns to the hustle of Hollywood, only to find her confusion mounting.

Will she choose Etienne, who makes her body sizzle…or Nigel, whose charm and manners leave her SMITTEN?

Amazon bestselling author Juliet Braddock’s first efforts in creative writing came long before she learned to put crayon to paper. In fact, she began spinning stories in her head nearly as soon as she could form complete sentences. As long as she can remember, she’d always created sagas about imaginary friends, family members and pop culture icons, and kept everyone around her entertained with her witty—but often very tall—tales.

For her sixth Christmas, Juliet’s mother got her a child’s typewriter to preserve all of those creative thoughts filling her head, but she quickly switched to ball point pens and notebooks when the ribbon ran dry.

Most of Juliet’s early attempts at writing romance focused on members of Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet or young leading men on Broadway. However, as she matured as a writer, she decided that it was just as much fun to create her own romantic heroes and heroines.

At an early age, she also developed a love for big cities, and the tallest of skyscrapers were never high enough for her. Juliet’s wanderlust would eventually lure her to New York, a city she often visited during her formative years, and her love affair with Manhattan began. She’d promised herself that one day she would return for good.

Juliet’s passion for writing and for big cities converged, and after graduating with a degree in Journalism, she decided to set out on a journey to find her heart…just where she’d left it.

A week after her college graduation, Juliet made the big move from a small town to New York City, where she has made her home ever since.

In between building a career in communications and writing on the side, she’s indulged in international travel, theater and art. A wine and food buff, she’s by no means a connoisseur, but she can give a few good restaurant recommendations if you’re in the city.

“There’s something so inspiring about living in a city like New York that’s so rich in culture and so very vibrant. Every neighborhood has its own story to tell,” Juliet says. “I often do my best plotting on the subway, just observing the lives unfolding around me. New York truly has a billion stories nestled between the skyscrapers.”

Since she initially started writing, Juliet developed a condition called Pseudotumor, and while she is legally blind, she continues to turn out her steamy, romantic stories with the help of magnifying software for the vision-impaired.

“Throughout my lifetime, I’ve been through a lot, but I never let anything stop me from doing what I love to do,” Juliet says. “Writing has been my passion since I was a child, and as long as I have stories to share with my readers, I will continue.”

A proud New Yorker, Juliet couldn’t live anywhere else—except for Paris, perhaps—and is a gushing cat-mom to a Russian Blue mix who was rescued as a kitten from the streets of Brooklyn, where they make their home.

Juliet is legally blind, and spins her sexy romances with the assistance of software for the vision-impaired.

Saints & Sinners Books Presents: Blemished by Juliet Braddock; #ReleaseBlitz, #NowAvailable, #OutNow, #Live, #99Pennies, #Review

IT'S LIVE!

Rating:  4 Stars

Disclosure of Material Connection:  I received this book for review from Saints and Sinners and the author.  I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review.  The opinions I have expressed are my own.  I am posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255:  "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising".

A tragic accident in the middle of an immobilizing blizzard joins Gavin Fletcher and Chloe Cabot, uniting two tarnished souls on a life-changing journey that defies the odds of their haunting pasts in BLEMISHED, the new novel by Amazon bestselling author of erotic romance Juliet Braddock.

Beautiful and imaginative, Chloe struggles to survive the daily grind of life in Chicago. An artist who never dared to explore her dreams, she takes pride in her independence and fends for herself at all costs.

A young advertising executive who’s rising fast within the industry, Gavin has built an ordered and precise life, but he’s much more lonesome than he’ll ever admit.

Both exist in worlds veiled in secrecy.

On the surface, Gavin’s life exudes perfection. He’s building his own thriving business, but beneath that slick exterior, he’s hiding the truth about his enigmatic lifestyle.

Chloe, on the other hand, has been dealt a rough hand in life. As details of her heart-wrenching past emerge, she fears she might lose Gavin for good.

Together, though, they discover solace in each other’s arms. While Chloe blossoms as Gavin’s submissive under his tough but tender tutelage, she wonders if he might just be the one to break the façade of fear that surrounded her heart.

Just as emotion transforms them from reluctant strangers into unlikely but enduring lovers, heartbreak strikes their relationship again, forcing an unforeseen reversal of roles.

Please make sure to read the author’s Acknowledgements.  They may not be written to you but sometimes you learn about what they’re going through and the people they appreciate.

This story is told in parts – it is one of the longer books that I’ve read this year but I think you’ll find it’s worth the price.  Don’t expect this to be a fluff piece.  There’s heart and soul here as well humor and sexual situations. 

Gavin Fletcher is out trying to do the right thing for his health.  It’s a way for him to try and forget his stressors.  Chloe Cabot is at the right place at the wrong time.  But it turns out all right in the end.  You never know who’s going to come into your life and the effect they will have on it.  This is especially true when Gavin disclosed something very personal – certainly had me do a double take.

Most books that I’ve read this year have our male character with light, dark, or even gray hair.  It was nice to see an author who gave her character red hair.  They are men who tend to get overlooked – can’t figure out why.  On top of that, she gives him an interesting pet choice.  At one point you think that you have to feel sorry for Chloe but she shows that she doesn’t want your pity.  She will not let her situation define her and once Gavin comes into her life she seems to bloom.

I could go on and on about the book but if I did you wouldn’t be able to enjoy it for yourself.  There is BDSM her but it’s just an extension of who Gavin is.  He’s not trying to convert anyone but you have to take him as he is.  He makes Chloe comfortable in trying to learn what she would like to do in order to please her partner.  It’s not about pain.  For me, it was a great introduction to the writing style of an author I’ve never read before.  This isn’t the first book she’s written so I will have to check out some of her other work.
