Book
Monster Reviews is excited to have Cari Quinn & Taryn Elliott on the blog
today for their SEDUCED Blog Tour!





Cari Quinn

USA Today
bestselling author Cari Quinn wrote her first story—a bible parable—in 2nd
grade, much to the delight of the nuns at her Catholic school. Once she saw the
warm reception that first tale garnered, she was hooked. Now she gets to pen
sexy romances for a living and routinely counts her lucky stars. When she’s not
scribbling furiously, she can usually be found watching men’s college
basketball, playing her music way too loud or causing trouble. Sometimes
simultaneously.

Taryn Elliott

I'm from the
great state of New York--upstate NY, thank you very much. My family consists of
a brother who takes care of keeping the snarky side of me alive and a dog that
is more spoiled child than mutt. My writer-friends are the glue that keeps my
crazy ideas more in the sane category, and my non-writerly friends are the
reason I'm not a complete hermit. I can't go a day without laughing and I truly
do fall in love with each and every one of my leading men as I write their
book. Music is life and every story has its own soundtrack.

Today
we are helping Cari & Taryn promote and celebrate the release of their
brand new, New Adult series Lost in Oblivion.  Do you love rock stars?  Then this is surely the series for you!  Let's check out what the first two book in
the series will be all about and then learn about the members of Lost in
Oblivion in the character profile below.

SEDUCED

A PREQUEL
to the NA rock star series Lost In Oblivion.

AVAILABLE NOW:

Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Kobo | All Romance eBooks

Warning: get ready for a testosterone overload. The guys are in the
driver's seat in Seduced - and the ride's gonna rock. 

Twenty-three year old Nick Crandall has one focus
in his life: Oblivion, the band he formed with his best friend Simon Kagan.
With gigs coming up and the band members lacking focus after losing their
drummer to rehab, they're out of ideas. Until Oblivion's bassist, Deacon McCoy,
poses a surprising suggestion.

Bring in someone new. Two someones.

One You Tube video gone viral later, Oblivion is poised on the brink of
stardom. With their new hot drummer chick — who comes in a package deal with a
talented guitarist who happens to be head over pick in unrequited love with her
- it seems like everything's falling into place. Or will the band Nick and
Simon have fought to keep together disintegrate before their eyes?

Four guys & one woman + more success than they ever bargained for =
trouble, of the sexiest kind.

Get Seduced by this
novel-length introduction to the band Oblivion. This preview occurs before the
four forthcoming books about each of the band members. Sometimes getting lost
means finding yourself...

ROCKED

Book 1 in
the NA rock star series, Lost in Oblivion
Coming in
September

Onstage he’s Demon, the unsurpassable bassist.

Offstage he’s the Peacemaker, the mastermind who keeps his volatile band
from imploding.

Opening for their idols on their first ever tour, Oblivion is living the dream.
That dream becomes a nightmare when Oblivion draws more attention than the
headliner and egos clash. Frustrated at being shoved out of his mediator role
by their new manager, Deacon McCoy loses himself in brutal workouts only coming
up for air long enough to refuel—and that means hunting down the catering truck
at odd hours.

Especially the deliciously cute chef who excites his taste buds as much as his
body.

The child of roadie parents, Harper Pruitt has heard every pickup line twice.
To her, musicians are one step above the scraps on her cutting board. All she
wants is to get enough experience to run her own catering company, but Deacon
and his bottomless and surprisingly gourmet stomach is too tempting to resist.
Before long, she finds herself wanting to experiment with him outside the
kitchen.

When Harper sees that Deacon’s sense of responsibility is doing him serious damage,
she realizes he’s far from the typical rock star. But as the band's fame grows,
she wonders if she can love a man who doesn't know how to let anyone in—even
her.

You met Deacon McCoy in
SEDUCED, now you can watch just how far a big man can fall.
