Book Blast: Stormed by Paula Quinene

Congratulations to tour winner Barbara M. and to host winner Our Town Book Reviews.
Thank you for your interest in hosting this tour, but all the stops have now been filled.

Goddess Fish Promotions is organizing a Virtual Book Blast Tour for STORMED by Paula Quinene, a contemporary romance (set in the 1990s) available now. The Book Blast Tour will take place on Monday, June 8. This tour will not include interviews or guest blogs; however, a blurb, excerpt and author bio will be provided to every host for inclusion on their blog. If you would like to review this book, please sign up for the Review Tour here.

Paula Quinene will be awarding a $15 Amazon/BN GC to a randomly drawn winner via rafflecopter during the tour, and a $20 Amazon/BN GC to a randomly drawn host.

A medical doctor educated in the United States, passionate and fierce Liz Taimanglo must now fulfill her promise and return to her island home. Liz makes the long flight across the US and the North Pacific Ocean to Guam, uncertain of what her future holds. Heading into the epicenter of her family and prime typhoon season for the Mariana Islands chain, the disquiet of her heart threatens to do more damage than any typhoon might inflict on Guam. Little does Liz know, the man featured in the newspaper would indeed unleash delicious torment rivaling even a Category 5 super typhoon.

Manny Artero is adamant about fighting for his island, his culture, and the rights of Guam’s Chamorro people, after having been fired from his teaching job. That is, until Liz walks up to him with her machete-wielding eyes and her undying respect for the American military. Manny had vowed never to risk his heart again and to become a more vocal activist, but this woman threatens to challenge all his intentions about love and life on Guam. Brushing off the safer choice, he plots a series of surprises to change her mind.

For Liz, becoming a doctor of medicine was supposed to be the right path, but her universe imploded when her training failed to save the life of the most important person in her world. Though a former US Marine, Manny could no longer accept the loss of land, rights, and freedom that Chamorros continue to suffer in their own homeland. Helpless against the strengthening attraction between them, Liz and Manny must face not only their opposing political views, but the storms stirring in their hearts and the very land upon which they stand.

“Set in the early 1990s, Stormed is teeming with as much political unrest and protest as it is with an unlikely and irresistible romance between its two protagonists. After reading Conquered, the first book in the series, Stormed was a welcome return to Guam, which gave my inner anthropologist the opportunity to learn more about the astonishing Chamorro culture—past and present. Not only is Stormed a complex and intriguing addition to novels about the South Pacific, this historical romance will help raise awareness of the effects of American colonialism on the people of Guam.” – Stacey Donovan, Writer, Editor, and Author of Dive

Book Blast: Conquered by Paula Quinene

Congratulations to Jodi C. winner of the tour prize and to Silver Dagger Scriptorium, the host winner

Goddess Fish Promotions is organizing a Virtual Book Blast Tour for Conquered by Paula Quinene, an Erotic Historical Romance available now. The Book Blast Tour will take place on Monday, July 18, 2016. This tour will not include interviews or guest blogs; however, a blurb, excerpt and author bio will be provided to every host for inclusion on their blog. A PDF copy of the book is available for review.

Paula will be awarding a $10 Amazon or B/N GC to a randomly drawn winner via rafflecopter during the tour, and a $10 Amazon or B/N GC to a randomly drawn host.

Conquered is a passionate love story, as much about its main characters, Guam native Jesi Taimanglo and American GI Johan Landers, as it is about author Paula Quinene’s passion for Guam itself. As her characters try to find a place for themselves amid the war, Jesi’s relatives, and the Chamorro traditions, Quinene charts a path through a seldom told story: Guam’s place in WWII. An original idea written with an original voice that invites readers in to the exotic world of the Pacific, complete with coconut trees, banana doughnuts, dolphins swimming in the ocean, and moonlight on Pago Bay, Conquered also recounts the brutal horrors of the Japanese occupation on Guam, a US territory largely forgotten back in the States. In addition to learning about a singular and little-known culture that has played a part in the world wars of the Pacific, readers will undoubtedly crave the recipe for banana doughnuts.
