Cover Reveal for Falling Into Love!
Title: Falling Into Love (One More Night (Rock & Roll Trilogy))
Author: Selene Chardou
Expected release date: June 28, 2013
Genre: Contemporary
Age Group: New Adult
Cover Designed by: Stephanie Nelson from Once Upon A Time Covers
Book Description:
“Lies, sex and rock are always on the menu when touring and if this journey has taught me anything, it’s every empty, vacuous idea I had before I met Kaz was the stuff of little girl fairytales. Love isn’t pretty, pink butterflies and hearts drawn on pieces of paper, it’s scratch marks down Kaz’s back after we have wild crazy sex and the way his aquamarine eyes look into mine as if I’m his and he’s claimed every inch of my body, including my heart, mind and soul…
“This journey isn’t about up and coming stars on the rock scene—it’s about the ones who’ve made it and still can’t get it together. It’s about drug abuse and unprotected sex, it’s about my love for a man who claimed he would never fall in love yet I managed to snag him. Not because I’m pretty, blonde and have a knock out body but because I can see past his sexy, drop-dead beautiful façade and underneath are the kind of dysfunctional, wretched secrets you read about only in the most twisted romance novels.”
The final part of Kaz and Syd’s journey will have them dealing with issues they never saw coming and a few they did. Friendships will be tested and relationships will be obliterated but at the end of the day, it’s all about the music and that always comes first.
Kaz can’t fight his feelings for Syd any longer and he’s given up trying. When their togetherness seems almost perfect, a curve ball is thrown and it just might end up destroying the love they have worked so hard to keep.
Can they survive the repeated assaults against their relationship and come out on top or will the tour always come first, even at the expense of what they hold sacred?

Happy Mother's Day! A new teaser! ;-)
Here is another delicious teaser from Falling into Us! ;-)
Excerpt
Kaz turned away from me but it had more to do with what he was thinking about rather than avoiding my gaze. “We have two well-known druggies on tour. They have relapsed after very expensive rehab stays and this could pose as an issue.”
“Don’t drugs and rock stars usually go together?” I tried to make a joke out of it but the way he looked at me when our eyes met told me loud and clear he wasn’t buying what I was selling.
“It’s a little 80s and 90s of a concept, yes, but at one time, most rockers and hip hop stars used drugs and didn’t even hide their addictions. Just so you know I am not some health freak, I have no problem with drugs—I’d rather not use them because I have a fairly straight forward personality. I loved getting high when we first made it but it got old and it was no longer fun. I stopped using cold turkey.
“I might have the odd hit off a joint every now and then because I have a weakness for well-grown marijuana but I don’t do anything harder than that. It’s my policy—not Introspect Records. They couldn’t give a crap what we did as long as we performed our jobs to the best of our abilities and didn’t go on stage noticeably high where people would make comments and the rumor mills would start.”
I played with several strands of my hair. “I take it these members you are talking about aren’t recreational users, then?”
“No. I mean, they pretty much have addiction issues. They do coke to function and then they take hillbilly heroin to come down. The worst part is the OxyContin is prescribed by our tour physician so if they are caught with it, they won’t get busted. They aren’t stupid enough to carry coke on them, especially when the physician gives them Adderall or Ritalin. It’s not as good as cocaine but it will do in a pinch and it’s legal. Plus Jaden has a lifetime prescription since he was diagnosed with ADHD when he was ten.”
I suddenly stood and began to pace. “Damn. Does Faith know?”

Teaser Tuesday...
It's just not fair to keep you waiting for what's going on between Syd and Kaz so here is a little (unedited) snippet from Falling Into Us!
I could feel the warmth of
his fingers through my thin silk robe and despite the hot, sticky Miami air, I
only breathed in Kaz. His scent, his words, his very essence were starting to
consume my soul.
I liked what he did for me
and I loved the way he made me feel. My skin tingled in a good way and as I
leaned into him and rested my face in the crux of his neck, I could smell Ed
Hardy's Love & Luck as I inhaled and my breath felt hot against his neck as
I exhaled.
“Listen, I don’t know what
is going to happen when we get on tour. There are quite a few issues that
probably won’t be ironed out by the time we have to start and we’ll all just
have to roll with the punches, if you know what I mean.”
“I’m a bit confused. What
are you talking about? What issues? Is this about me and you?”
The million dollar question???
Enjoy and have a wonderful day!

The premiere of Falling Into Lust!
If rock and roll series are your idea of good reading and you love music as much as I do, if you are a fan of the massively talented Olivia Cunning, I really think you'll like this series!
I love music and I am a huge fan of all genres but I was a rock chick growing up and I have never forgotten my roots. Selene Chardou's ego allows me to write fun, New Adult contemporary romance without all the drama and angst I put into Elle Chardou's work. If you are looking for a light romance with some steamy love scenes then try it out. I've also listed the playlist too!
P.S. All the lyrics featured in the book which are supposed to be Scarlet Fever songs were written by yours truly. I used to write poetry so it wasn't hard and actually quite fun!
P.P.S. A purchase is huge points toward that Kindle Paperwhite I'm giving away and also, don't forget to leave review if you truly like it. I do read them when I get the time. ;-)

“I’m the girl you love to hate because I always get what I want…I wanted Kasper ‘Kaz’ Gillian, rock star god, alpha male supreme and vocalist for Scarlet Fever, one of the biggest rock and roll groups of our generation but what I got was a whole lot more. I couldn’t have known we’d eventually develop feelings for one another let alone our togetherness would last more than just one night…”
This is part one of Sydney and Kaz's journey from fan-girl and rock star to something deeper and more fulfilling than either one of them could have ever imagined...

A Falling into Lust Teaser...
A sexy teaser for Falling into Lust...

Excerpt
I hardly doubted he acted this way in a real relationship. Kaz and company was being paid mega-bucks to be nice to me and not “rock the boat” so to speak. He’d managed to keep that legendary temper of his in check and all I could think about was whether or not he was worth the time and energy of giving up my virginity to especially knowing what I knew.
Finally, I grabbed his hand and walked back inside with him. My behavior was childish and uncalled for and both of us knew it.
Syd, you think too much, an inner voice told me, and I wanted to knock that bitch out for interfering with a plan I had so carefully mastered. I knew what I wanted and ending up as another notch on Kaz’s belt wasn’t it. However, as soon as I took my seat next to my best friends who were bopping their heads to Demi Lovato’s “Heart Attack” I knew I was instantly in trouble.
“What the hell happened to you?” Faith wondered in an irritated tone. “Jeez, they were just getting warmed up with ‘Cock Tease’ and you had to ruin it because of course they had to be singing the song about you.”
“It wasn’t like that. I just needed some air…I think I had too much champagne,” I offered as an excuse although I lifted my fluted glass of Dom Perignon and sipped from the delicious bubbly.
“You are such a bullshit artist,” Laurel responded before she shook her head with a mirthless yet mock-aggravation.
“You’re one to talk,” I murmured under my breath.
“What was that?” Faith turned toward me in her seat.
“Nothing.” I looked toward the stage where the band was preparing to finish up their set.
