Ebook Giveaway: My Everything by Julia Rachel Barrett [CONTEST CLOSED]

48 Comments

Many thanks to author Julia Rachel Barrett for donating an ebook copy of her forthcoming romantic suspense, My Everything, which comes out on February 12.

Security consultant Ben McCall is alone. His wife and unborn child are dead, victims of an assassination attempt meant for someone else. Grieving, he disappears. When his best friend is in danger, Ben resurfaces only to find his friend isn’t the target of a murderer, he is, along with his sister Angel. On the night of his return, Ben unexpectedly comes face to face with a woman from his past. She needs his help. He learns that he needs hers even more.

Grace Adams is one of the walking wounded. Her husband died two years ago. One night she is incapacitated. A man comes to her aid. He’s the man she fell in love with years before, Ben McCall. As the passion between them reignites, Grace too becomes a target of the madman who stalks Ben. She, Angel and Ben must use their wits to stay alive as they fight a man desperate for revenge.

Here’s a bit about Julie in her own words:

Who and what am I?  I kind of like to be or not to be, that is the question, better. Talking about myself is harder than writing a book!

I’ve done so many things in my life that sometimes it’s tough to keep memories in order… I’ve been pretty much supporting myself since the age of thirteen when I forged a work permit and began waitressing at a coffee shop below a motel that catered to prostitutes. Whew, managed to spit that out in one breath!

I’ve done stints as a bartender, a fry cook, a legal secretary, and worked as an editor in the English Department at the university I attended. I’ve spent early morning hours working as a pastry chef, been a personal chef and event planner, owned a catering company and a restaurant. I’ve roamed across this country with nothing more than a backpack and hitched my way around some parts of the Middle East – amazing and scary! Nearly got my ass stoned a couple times! Walked all over London, Rome and Paris because the best way to see those cities is to stay in cheap hotels and walk from one end to the other. Climbed mountains in Scotland and hiked across Costa Rica.

After a climbing accident sidelined me for an entire year, I returned to my first love, writing. I’m also a registered nurse so when you see the world from Grace’s point of view in My Everything, you’ll know she knows what she’s talking about. Grace is an RN, a pain-management specialist.

Twenty-five incredible years ago, I married the boy I fell in love with when I was fourteen. We have three pretty amazing children and a stable full of four-legged creatures – a couple two-leggeds (birds) and one lucky Koi. My Everything is my second release this year. Captured, a sci fi romance, came out with Siren on January 6th.

I love to hear from readers. You can reach me at Julia@JuliaRachelBarrett.net and please visit my website.
Thanks for stopping by and good luck!  julia

    Again, holding my ground not to enter an e-book contest (what on earth am I thinking!?) I so need an e-reader this instant 😉
    .-= blodeuedd´s last blog ..Library Loot =-.

  15. I know that book authors don’t really get a lot of say in the cover art for a book, but I look at this cover and I think that her tramp stamp is supposed to be Tennyson’s The Eagle. One of my friends referred to that poem as, “It’s a bird on a rock and it swoops.”

    Please count me in (because covers do not make the book).
    .-= Seanna Lea´s last blog ..some mornings =-.

  16. Love the blurb for “My Everything”. Romance Suspense and Mystery… that’s the trifacta. Would love to read this book. Definitely enter me for the contest.

  21. Don’t mind me… I’m just testing a possible problem with comment subscription via email.

  24. Black kitty smack down! I think May needs a spangly cape for wrestling so we can all keep track better as the action progresses. Will there be a pay-per-view video?
    .-= Brenda´s last blog ..FO: Nubby Cardigan =-.

  26. A tramp stamp? That’s what my kids call it. Read the book and see if you still think it’s a tramp stamp…
    I love tats – The tattoo the cover artist put on Captured is to die for!

    My poor black kitty, one of a pair, is sick so off to the vet’s office to check on him. Love reading the comments! Mia’s multiple sizzles!

  28. Blurb sounds really interesting, so please enter me in the contest. I hope May survived the sneek attack.

  31. Hey Chris:

    I haven’t been entering contests lately because of the book tsunami here but I really like the sound of this one so please toss my hat in the ring.
