Blog Hop Links, comment to win

Hello, I'm here to make sure finding links to the blog tour is easy. The last one for JOCK 2, I had linked the other blogs into each post. For this one, the posts had to go out farther in advance. I thought I'd repost about the Blog Tour and the prizes you can win by commenting. I know 10 hops is a lot to keep track of, that's why they are all linked here. Commenting at least once will get you entered to win a gift card. That's cool right?

This is the list of STOPS. I will update this post every day a stop is scheduled so you can find all the links here.

February 24 – Prism Book Alliance

March 18 - MM Good Book Reviews

March 22 - Long and Short Reviews

March 23 - My Fiction Nook

March 24 - Oh My Shelves

March 25 - Divine Magazine

March 25 - Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words

March 28 - Love Bytes

March 29 - Gay Book Reviews

March 30 - The Novel Approach

In order to WIN the GRAND PRIZE you need to comment on EACH stop. However, commenting just once on one of the ten, gets you entered into the drawing.

Here is the list of prizes:

I have several giveaways. Leave a comment on this blog for a chance to win an Amazon gift certificate. I am going to take ALL the names, from all the comments, from all the blog stops, and put them in a drawing. I have 10 stops including this one. The more comments you make then higher your chances of winning. I will have 3 winners of a $10 Amazon gift certificate to be announced when the tour ends! Additionally, for those who comment on ALL 10 STOPS, I will enter each of them into a grand prize drawing good for:

1 An eBook from my backlist of your choice, OR the next book I publish this year. (*Excluding Bankers’ Hours)  

2 A $10 Amazon gift certificate, 

3 A Wade Kelly Spoon in the colors of your choice,

4 One autographed paperback copy of the novel of their choice, OR the next book I publish this year. (*Excluding Bankers’ Hours)

5 A special Promo Code for you to download a copy of the audiobook: Misplaced Affection

Note: I am willing to mail things to other countries so don’t let that stop you! Please, post on ALL the posts. I had fun with this last time. J

That is all for now concerning Bankers' Hours. You can ORDER it HERE, or on Amazon, ARe, or Barnes & Noble.

Connect with me on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Goodreads, Instagram,

and my fan group: The Wade Brigade.

If you have read it, and it is not too much to ask, could you leave a review on AMAZON, and/or Goodreads? I'm not sure where people look to find reviews. Maybe ARe. But leaving reviews is the best way to help out the authors you like. Even 1 star reviews, if you say WHY you didn't like it, help sales because sometimes the very thing you hate is what others LOVE. Spread the love, write reviews.

Also, if you haven't heard, NAMES CAN NEVER HURT ME is out on audio!

Bankers' Is sliding down the scale slowly and hangs around #36 on the Amazon Hot New Releases list. Follow the tour, read excerpts and comments, and maybe try this one out if you haven't tried a Wade Kelly book recently. It's quirky and fun and meant to be light. :)

cheers!

The winners are:

The $10 gift cards are to H.B., Peggy, And JenF27

The grand prize winner is Inez Garcia.

And I picked a runner up to receive an e-copy of J3 whenever it comes out-- Jen CW

Release Day Reviews for Bankers' Hours

I have never had so many reviews on release day. It was shocking, however, I know Dreamspinner restructured their production schedule to get ARC's out faster in order to have release day reviews.

Here are a few of them:

From Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words, A Zany Old woman's review gave it 4.5 stars/5, saying "I’d recommend it to lovers of MM romance and especially to those who enjoy characters who come into their sexuality a little later in life and those who love to hate a snarky character."

Jeff Adams gave it 5 stars on his blog. "Grant and Tristan's courtship was adorable."

Meredith at Diverse Reader said, "What an Absolutely Delightful and fabulous story. This book truely had everything .... and gave it 5 stars.

Sinfully Sexy Reviews 4 stars. "the story will entertain you and probably cause you to “aww” more than a few times on the way to a happy ending fit for a princess."

Two Obsessed Chicks- 4 stars. Paula says: This was a crazy book. The characters were quirky and fun. I thought the story was well done. Tristan was such a wonderful character. Grant was nuts. I thought Wade Kelly did a wonderful job creating two characters that fit together. The story was so much fun to read. Fast paced and really funny. I highly enjoyed this story and look forward to more from this author."

Laurie at the TPR Pile rated bankers' Hours 5 stars. "I fell in love with Grant from the first paragraph.... The author wrote a beautiful romance story, one I love and I need to read again."

Love Bytes Reviews: 4.5 stars. Ms. Kelly took “insta-love” to a new level with this one, and she did it in a way that sounded perfectly plausible, if a bit fast! ... I’m sure some people will roll their eyes and say things like “unrealistic”, but those people should just simmer down and read the story!... I really liked the story, and I think you will too. Ms. Kelly is one of my “me, me, me” authors…meaning when she comes out with a new one, I’m there jumping up and down saying “me, me, me” before any other reviewer at Love Bytes even hears the book’s name!" (abbreviated from original post HERE.)

I recommend this one. Give it a shot. If you aren’t familiar with Wade Kelly’s books…you should be!

Rainbow Book Reviews: 4.5 stars "There was so much about this novel that I loved.There was also humor, some drama from a crazy woman, sweetness, hotness, life lessons, and so much love I was swimming in it. A beautiful love story."

If more come out, I will update this post.

Thank you to all who have bought and read my latest book. :)

Another Audiobook for your listening pleasure

Names Can Never Hurt Me is now out on AUDIO!

What if sexuality wasn’t a definable thing and labels merely got in the way?

Nick Jones can’t remember a time when he wasn’t part of the in crowd. Everywhere he goes, he stands out as the best looking guy in the room, and women practically fall into bed with him. Then, after kissing Corey on a dare led to much more and on many occasions, Nick’s “screw anything” reputation escalated, but he didn’t care.

When Nick meets RC at the restaurant where he works, it throws his whole life out of whack. RC lives up to his dubbed nickname “scruffy dude.” He seems Nick’s complete opposite, but Nick can’t get him out of his head.

Because of peer-pressure and his fears about defining his sexuality, Nick struggles with stepping out of his comfort zone and caring about someone different than himself. If he’s lucky, somewhere between arrogance and ignorance, Nick might find out what it means to be an adult, but if he’s wrong, he could lose everything.

I cannot believe I have 2 releases in the same week! The funny part is that this happened in December too. (Not the same week, but same month.) No! Jocks Don’t Date Guys came out December 14, 2015. And then, a couple weeks later, Misplaced Affection went live on Audible on December 30, 2015.

So now in March 2016, I have Names Can Never Hurt Me out on AUDIO on Monday the 21st, and , Bankers’ Hours comes out on Friday, March 25th! I am so very happy for these releases.

Remember the blog tour for Bankers' Hours. I hope you can stop by each post and comment. Or, if you already have all my books and you want someone else to win, then please share my posts and tell people about my books. :) Word of mouth is the fastest way to inform others of the books you like. You can find links to all the blog posts HERE, and I will update that page daily as new links become available.

My personal favorite: American Love Songs by Ashlyn Kane.

XOXOXOX
