The Triple M Blog Tour

B3 Tours Presents: 

The Triple M Blog Tour 

Books: “Losing Me, Finding You” & “Loving Me, Trusting You”


Losing Me, Finding You Blurb


Twenty-one year old Amy Cross's idea of a hot Saturday night is curling up with her favorite book boyfriend and secretly sneaking a bottle of her mother's wine. That is, until she meets Austin Sparks, the biker boy with a past that burns like fire and a gaze she can't look away from. Without knowing what she's doing or why she's doing it, Amy ends up on the road with Austin traveling from one city to another while learning things she's only ever read about in romance novels.

At first it seems like Austin is Amy's fantasy come true, but as their journey progresses, she starts to sense that Austin is running away from something. Amy knows that she'll do whatever it takes to help him find himself. What she doesn't expect is that she'll lose herself in the process and how good it will feel to be free.


Loving Me, Trusting You Blurb (releasing soon)


The Triple M Motorcycle Gang has a new president in Austin Sparks, the bad boy biker that swept Amy Cross off her feet. And nobody's happier about that than Gaine Kelley.  Now that his best friend has finally found the woman of his dreams, Gaine's free to go after Mireya. But what if she isn't ready yet? What if the demons from her past howl so loud she can't hear him calling?

Mireya Sawyer isn't ready for love. Not yet. Maybe not ever. Especially not when the one thing she's always fought for is called into question. Triple M may not be a 'real' MC, but they're posing as one, and there are people that don't like that. People who can't accept the way they do things and are willing to take the time to put a stop to it. With several rival gangs circling around, threatening the rights of the women in Triple M, Mireya knows it's time to forget her love affair with Austin and move on. Thing is, Gaine's not willing to stand on the sidelines anymore. He loves her, but can she trust him?

AMY CROSS:

Just because she's a virgin doesn't mean she's innocent.  This sweet, young thing with the hazelnut hair and the blue eyes could read you under the table.  Think of a romance novel, any title, and she'll have read it.  Oh yeah.  She knows things, and she's not afraid to use them on Austin Sparks.  As long as he takes her away from her stifling life and her zealous parents because sometimes, you've got to lose yourself to be free.  And her new favorite word is the F-bomb, thank you very much.


AUSTIN SPARKS:

Tattooed, pierced, dirty mouthed, rides a motorcycle.  Need I say more?  Austin Sparks is a member of the Triple M Motorcycle Gang, and he's not afraid to bend the rules – or bend Amy over a pool table.  Yep.  He'll do that, too.  Just don't ask what it is he really does for a living.  That kind of secret's only given out a need to know basis.  But his tattoos?  We can talk all about those.  Just check out the cover.

C.M. Stunich was raised under a cover of fog in the area known simply as Eureka, CA.  A mysterious place, this strange, arboreal land nursed Caitlin's (yes, that's her name!) desire to write strange fiction novels about wicked monsters, magical trains, and Nemean Lions (Google it!). She currently enjoys drag queens, having too many cats, and tribal bellydance.

Always a fan of the indie scene and 'sticking it to the man,' Ms. Stunich decided to take the road less traveled and forgo the traditional publishing route. You can be assured though that she received several rejections as to ensure her proper place in the world of writers before taking up a friend's offer to start a publishing company. Sarian Royal was born, and Ms. Stunich's books slowly transformed from mere baking chocolate to full blown tortes with hand sculpted fondant flowers.


C.M. is a writer obsessed with delivering the very best and scours her mind on a regular basis to select the most unusual stories for the outside world.

To Anna, horses were more than a fascination, they were everything. Luckily, she had the opportunity to spend every summer on her grandmother's horse ranch in Colorado. Life was perfect, until she received the devastating news that her grandmother had been tragically killed. Anna knew she was the only member of her family who could take over the ranch and hopefully find new homes for her grandmother's beloved Arabians.
Anna wasn't alone for long. Her grandmother had hired a local teenage boy to help tend the horses for the summer. Anna didn't stand a chance against Cody's quiet charm and the two rapidly become friends. However, even with the responsibilities of the ranch, Anna quickly discovers the secrets her grandmother had been hiding and a legacy that sends her on an adventure she never thought possible. An adventure in the saddle of a horse that wasn't a horse at all. Sabaska, her grandmother's favorite Arabian, was a Traveler; a magical being that could travel between worlds. With Anna at the reins, they find themselves trapped in a fight against evil with the highest of stakes… Their very survival. 
 

~ Review ~
I’m not normally one for horses or fantasy, but the blurb of this book sounded interesting so I was happy to at least attempt to read it and I’m so glad I did.  This book will appeal to anyone from young teens to adults and had a magical innocence to it that I found thoroughly refreshing.  There was so much emotion throughout the whole story, and although it started with the death of Sabasha’s rider, it soon turned to the strength of Anna and how she is determined to find new homes for all her gran’s horses rather than have them sold at auction to the highest bidder.  Adventure slowly seeped in, and soon Anna and Sabaska were off to finish her gran’s mission in another world.  I loved the world the author built, and how all the worlds were connected to each other.  The characters all grew significantly as the story progressed, and at first I was all for Cody but Cahir slowly won me over.  Over all it’s a heart-warming story about loss, love, friendship and trust that will definitely stay with me and be read again.   


Quotes:
“Are we in a labyrinth?”

“Not bad, girlie,” the ghost said. “Not bad at all. Personally, I thought it would be a waste of my sleeping dust. Figured you’d die, but since you didn’t, well done. By the by, my name is David.”

“I will get what I want, and there is nowhere you can Travel with that horse that I won’t find you.” His voice turned low, icy, and dangerous.
