Sleepless in Manhattan #Giveaway




Imperfect Women is excited to be hosting this Sleepless in Manhattan themed prize pack Giveaway to celebrate the launch of USA bestselling author Sara Morgan's latest novel, Sleepless in Manhattan!



USA TODAY bestselling author Sarah Morgan introduces From Manhattan with Love, a sparkling new trilogy about three best friends embracing life–and love–in New York. About the Book
Cool, calm and competent, events planner Paige Walker loves a challenge. After a childhood spent in and out of hospitals, she’s now determined to prove herself—and where better to take the world by storm than Manhattan? But when Paige loses the job she loves, she must face her biggest challenge of all—going it alone. Except launching her own events company is nothing compared to hiding her outrageous crush on Jake Romano—her brother’s best friend, New York’s most in-demand date, and the only man to break her heart. When Jake offers Paige’s fledgling company a big chance, their still-sizzling chemistry starts giving her sleepless nights. But can she convince the man who trusts no one to take a chance on forever?
About the Author Sarah Morgan is a USA TODAY bestselling author who writes hot, happy, contemporary romance, and her trademark humor and sensuality have gained her fans across the globe.

Welcome, Reluctant Stranger (Between Two Worlds Book 3)

Welcomereluctantstrangerbanner


Leilani's mother has never set foot in her school until the day she whisks her children out of their Pacific Island country, without their father and without explanation. Eighteen years later, Leilani just wants to leave the past behind, move forward. She has settled peacefully in California and like her long-lost father, she heals people. But her tranquil existence is disturbed one evening. A computer nerd and culinary whiz with a biting sense of humor, Justin is brokenhearted from the loss of his girlfriend who has left him after seven years. All he wants is to drown his sorrows. But he finds more trouble than he's looking for when thugs assault him. On her way home from work, Leilani sees the assault. An ace with a gun, she rescues him. Weeks later, they meet again and find themselves attracted to each other. Fearing Justin is on the rebound, or has a rescuer complex, Leilani doesn't want to get involved. But Leilani cannot deny her feelings. As they begin to fall in love, her past comes back to haunt her. A friend of her father arrives with news which forces her mother to reveal a shocking, shameful secret--the truth about the role Leilani's father played in a deadly political web. Can Leilani deal with the truth? But hero or villain, he is her father and only she and Justin can rescue him from the island she'd left long ago. At the core of this women's fiction is an Asian woman-white man interracial romance spun with international political intrigue and a young woman's acceptance of her past. Welcome Reluctant Stranger is Book 3 in a family saga. In three tales of loss, love, second chances, and finding one's way, three strong women cope with issues contemporary women face.

61KYqdGx5XL._UX250_SPR Independent Woman Authors 2015 bronze awardee Evy Journey has always been fascinated with words and seduced by beautiful prose. She loves Jane Austen and invokes her spirit every time she spins tales of love, loss, and finding one's way--stories she interweaves with mystery or intrigue and sets in various locales. She's lived and traveled in many places, from Asia to Europe. Often she's ended up in Paris, though--her favorite place in the world. She's become something of an observer-wanderer. A flâneuse, as the French would say. The mind is what fascinates her most. So, armed with a Ph.D., she chose to work in mental health, researching and developing programs. And writing like an academic. Not a good thing if you want to sound like a normal person. So, she's written fiction (happy fiction) as an antidote.

Lords of the Underworld #Giveaway



The Queen of Paranormal Romance, New York Times & USA TODAY bestselling author Gena Showalter, returns with THE DARKEST TORMENT, the eagerly anticipated 12th novel in her Lords of the Underworld series. This fiendishly captivating saga features the ongoing exploits of a group of powerful yet seductive beings, doomed to an eternity of pain and torment.
LAUNCHING MAY 31st, 2016
AVAILABLE WHEREVER BOOKS ARE SOLD
As one of the legendary immortal warriors known as the Lords of the Underworld, the noble Baden might well be the deadliest and most tragic of them all. After being driven to his death by the demon of Distrust, Baden has spent the last four thousand years trapped in a spiritual netherworld, ceaselessly watching his former compatriots continue their eternal battle without him. So when Hades, the King of the Underworld, offers him a chance to return to the land of the living and fight by his fellow Lords’ sides once more, Baden jumps at the opportunity. But, unknown to Baden, there’s more than one string attached to this unholy deal. Baden soon discovers that the devious Hades has infused his new tangible form with the bloodthirsty creature known as Destruction, whose sole desire seems to be murdering anyone he can—friend or foe. Even worse, Baden is completely beholden to Hades’s every command, the first of which is the retrieval of a magical coin. When renowned canine trainer Katarina Joelle’s wedding day is unexpectedly interrupted by the ruthless Baden, her world is turned upside down—even more than it already had been. After all, Katarina only married sadistic mobster Aleksander Ciernik to prevent him from killing her three beloved dogs. So, when Baden abducts the bride and demands a mysterious and apparently mystical coin from the ruthless gangster in exchange for her safe return, Katrina sees her opportunity to escape Aleksdander and save the lives of her pets. And that means treating the savage Baden like one of her canine rescues—another wounded beast in need of being healed and retrained. Baden soon learns that there is far more to the alluring Katarina than he initially realized. She alone possesses the ability to calm his inner beast and bring him peace. However, Baden knows his dark passenger is not to be trusted, especially around the beautiful woman. To save each other, Baden and Katarina will go to the ends of the Underworld and fight the deadliest beings imaginable. Yet even that may not be enough to protect themselves from Destruction…

Schism Book Blast

Schismbookblast

"Schism" is the first book in a new dystopian trilogy that tells a tale of survival, of good versus evil, and of constructing a future with only memories of childhood. A government-created virus is accidentally released before testing is complete and within weeks it kills six billion people, children are the only survivors. Andy Christensen and her two friends travel across the country searching for a safe place to live, but nowhere, it seems, is capable of resurrection. “SCHISM is an engrossing page turner that skillfully deals with dark subject matter in a compelling, through-provoking manner…The writing is crisp and clear, and the novel’s details are well-researched, down to the names of local roads and landmarks and the types of technology used by the survivors.” -IndieReader.com “This apocalyptic teen drama’s character interactions may draw readers in, but its vigorous story will keep them hooked.” - Kirkus Reviews

Five Things You Should Know About Strokes #StrokeHero

Big graphic

 There are many super heroes out there. Moms, Dads, Grandparents, people who are simply lending a hand to others. We consider those people super heroes. Many of those super heroes are behind the scenes; they never get recognition for what they do, and that is okay with them. But what if you could be a super hero that saves lives? You might be thinking – wow, that would be a big deal – right? It is much easier than you might think!


Flying

 May is American Stroke Month, so we’re working with the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association and the Ad Council to raise awareness about Stroke knowledge, prevention, and what to do in an emergency. Stroke is the No. 1 preventable cause of disability – and 80 percent of strokes are preventable! You don’t need superpowers to be a Stroke Hero.

super hero

 You can be a Stroke Hero by controlling your blood pressure and other risk factors and by knowing F.A.S.T, the warning signs of stroke, so you’re ready to take action and help others know when and how to take action! Only 9% of us can identify all the letters in the F.A.S.T. acronym for stroke. When you recognize a stroke and immediately call 9-1-1, the person has a greater chance of getting to an appropriate hospital quickly and being assessed for treatment options like a clot-busting drug or clot-removing device. How to spot a stroke F.A.S.T. (the warning signs):
  • F - Face Drooping - Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile.
  • A - Arm Weakness - Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
  • S - Speech Difficulty - Is speech slurred? Are they unable to speak, or are they hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence like: “The sky is blue.” Is the sentence repeated correctly?
  • T- Time to call 9-1-1 - If the person shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get them to the hospital immediately.
Superpower
If you know someone who could be at risk for a stroke, or even yourself – take the #StrokeHero quiz. It is fast, easy, and could save your life or the lives of people that you love.

 While stroke threatens millions of lives, it is largely preventable, treatable and beatable. Together, we can end stroke. Share this with your family, friends, co-workers and community by sharing on social media. You can share this post or tweet: You don’t need superpowers to be a #StrokeHero. Live healthier and know the F.A.S.T. warning signs - StrokeAssociation.org/StrokeHero


 
Chat


 Want to get more involved? Join the #StrokeChat hosted by @American_Stroke on 5/18 at 12pm CDT. Stroke experts will join from local AHA/ASA handles coast to coast and we’ll have an engaging conversation about superpowers, the face of stroke, what’s in the news, and give away some swag from NBA All Star Paul George and ALEX AND ANI who just debuted a new bangle honoring stroke survivors.

EVERYONE HAS A LITTLE PSYCHO INSIDE…

  The Psycho Collection Box Set

IBOOKS KOBO KINDLE NOOK GOOGLE

PSYCHO INSIDE ME

I killed my first victim at thirteen years old – my age, not his. He was going to rape me, him and a couple of his friends. And so, I killed him. And then… I killed again. And again. At seventeen, I’m killing four to six times a year – maybe more. Don’t stress out. I only go after the pedophiles and rapists. There are more out there than I could cover in a lifetime. Saying I did this on my own would be selfish. Enforcing justice holds a glory all its own. But now, my lifelong friend and backup, Deegan, has been arrested. I have to decide if I want to give myself up and take his place or leave him with all the damning evidence. I don’t want to stop killing. But if I let him take the fall, I can’t kill anymore. And I need to keep doing that. But the worst part of it all? I love him.

DICTATING DEATH

Samantha wants to love him. Maria wants to kill him. Dr. Luke Lawson has no idea that the girl he’s dating has split personalities fighting to control her body. Samantha must keep Luke safe at all costs. If Samantha wins, Maria will die and disappear forever – taking Samantha with her. If Maria wins, Dr. Lawson will die and she and Samantha will move on to the next doctor – the next kill. But Luke is special. He could save Samantha from herself… but only if Samantha can save him.

WATCH ME BURN

Levi I’ve been in love and it hurts. We hurt each other. On purpose. I can’t escape the guilt. Megan I don’t want to be just friends with Levi. But I will be. He’s been hurt before and I just want to be there for him. Someone needs to be on his side. Chelsea Levi Cole is mine. I want him. She can’t have him. She needs to die.

Freedom from Fear by Pauline Creeden


FreedomfromFearbanner


Fear is a cage. It closes us in and keeps us from living in the freedom that we should be. Some people get so overcome by fear that they cannot even leave their house. Phobias have become almost fashionable. We label our fears and hug them tight to us as if they are things we need to keep our security. We coddle them and keep them happy so that they don’t destroy us, and the last thing we want to do is provoke them. That powerlessness is what keeps us from accomplishing great things in our lives, whether personally or for God’s kingdom. In Freedom from Fear, we explore the keys to our freedom through faith and obedience to God's word. With this book, you'll learn to put your trust in God's character and turn to him when you're feeling out of control. Purchase Freedom from Fear Amazon / Nook / Kobo / iBooks Prodigal
