Jessica Ward - The St. Ambrose School for Girls review

noreply@blogger.com (Abs) — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 12:30:00 +0000

I really wanted to like this book. Ultimately, I didn’t hate it; I didn’t love it. I don’t think I was prepared for the heaviness of this story. Sarah hasn’t had an easy life. She’s had to fight her mental illness every day. She’s given the opportunity to attend St. Ambrose and life there isn’t all rainbows and sunshine. But this self-proclaimed loner does make a friend. I did enjoy seeing Sarah open up and start a friendship. I also liked how as things progressed, it opened Sarah’s eyes to her mother and changed her opinion of her. This book definitely had some twists I didn’t see coming and I still wanted to know how things ended.

Heathers meets The Secret History in this thrilling coming-of-age novel set in a boarding school where the secrets are devastating—and deadly.

When Sarah Taylor arrives at the exclusive St. Ambrose School, she’s carrying more baggage than just what fits in her suitcase. She knows she’s not like the other girls—if the shabby, all-black, non-designer clothes don’t give that away, the bottle of lithium hidden in her desk drawer sure does.

St. Ambrose’s queen bee, Greta Stanhope, picks Sarah as a target from day one and the most popular, powerful, horrible girl at school is relentless in making sure Sarah knows what the pecking order is. Thankfully, Sarah makes an ally out of her roommate Ellen “Strots” Strotsberry, a cigarette-huffing, devil-may-care athlete who takes no bullshit. Also down the hall is Nick Hollis, the devastatingly handsome RA, and the object of more than one St. Ambrose student’s fantasies. Between Strots and Nick, Sarah hopes she can make it through the semester, dealing with not only her schoolwork and a recent bipolar diagnosis, but Greta’s increasingly malicious pranks.

Sarah is determined not to give Greta the satisfaction of breaking her. But when scandal unfolds, and someone ends up dead, her world threatens to unravel in ways she could never have imagined. The St. Ambrose School for Girls is a dangerous, delicious, twisty coming-of-age tale that will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

Kerrigan Byrne & Cynthia St. Aubin - Brewbies review

noreply@blogger.com (Abs) — Tue, 20 Jun 2023 12:30:00 +0000

Darby has overcome sickness in her life and she now lives life the way she wants! She gives back and also supports those around her. She’s trying to find her place in Townsend Harbor. Enter Ethan Townsend. There is an attraction and chemistry between these two. She gets under his skin! Ha! But Ethan is the kind of man who wants to do the right thing. Even if it’s difficult. Darby brings out something in him, but she’s a safe space for him, even if he doesn’t realize it. I enjoyed their interactions and watching Darby pissing him off! I liked the version of him he was with her. They were good for each other and I didn’t want their story to be over!!

Darby Dunwell is not—as her name might suggest—a Bond Girl, though she’s been blessed with the body of one. An east coast, ivy-league, trust fund kid, she flees a life of expectation, elocution, and executive board rooms to follow her one true love: Coffee. Isn't the Washington Coast the Mecca for all things brew related? The deeply eccentric seaside tourist hamlet of Townsend Harbor throws its doors wide open for her sex-positive, bikini-themed coffee shop named Brewbies. Her grand opening is an unmitigated success, until the county sheriff saunters in to shut her down.

Compulsive rule-follower Sheriff Ethan Townsend is known for helping old ladies across the road, breaking up bar fights, and keeping the sleepy town safe from the flood of seasonal tourists. One-night stands, not so much. After having his heart publicly stomped on, he no longer bothers to ask the name of the woman he’s going to forget in the morning. A policy he regrets when the woman who blew his mind turns out to be his nemesis. Not only is Darby’s salacious coffee shop causing traffic incidents on the Coastal Highway, its proprietress keeps making his life–among other things–as hard as possible.

Darby finds herself embroiled in a feud she never wanted with the cop who is as tight assed as his trousers suggest. But even as their animosity sizzles and the town begins to take sides, Ethan can’t seem to keep his eyes off Darby’s double D’s.

Erika Kelly - Truly, Madly, Deeply review

noreply@blogger.com (Abs) — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 12:30:00 +0000

This book was so easy to get lost in! I absolutely loved it! I loved going back to Calamity Falls. If you've read other books in this series, you'll see people you know again. If it's new to you, welcome to Calamity! Grace isn't having a great day. She's learned some facts about her soon-to-be husband and cuts ties. Luckily for her, Jamie is able to offer some assistance to her. While Grace is close to her family, it was good for her to be away and take time for herself. The time in Calamity let her spread her wings and find her passion. It was fun watching her grow and do things that truly made her happy. If a grumpy, single dad happened to be nearby, that was an added bonus :) This book had me smiling and lost in ALL THE FEELS! Don't let this fantastic book pass you by. Grab your copy now.

What's the worst thing that can happen to a single dad trying to avoid temptation? Crossing paths with the sexy runaway bride who's looking to get as far away from her ex as possible.

When runaway bride Grace Giordano needs somewhere to regroup, groomsman Jaime Dupree offers her a guest house on his ranch. It’s no skin off his nose—she’s only in town a few days. Besides, between his daughter and his professional hockey team, he's got his hands full. Surely, their paths won't cross.

But when Grace gets the opportunity to run a food truck at the town’s annual music festival, she decides to stay all summer long. The singing baker’s a hit—at the festival and on the ranch.

Jaime might want to focus on his kid and his team, but the singing baker proves to be a mighty big distraction.

One he’s not sure he can resist.

Meghan Quinn - Royally In Trouble review

noreply@blogger.com (Abs) — Tue, 06 Jun 2023 13:00:00 +0000

The royal romp you've been waiting for!

ROYALLY IN TROUBLE, a brand new sexy, royal romance from USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn, is Now AVAILABLE! Full of sweltering heat, suspense, and mystery, get ready to be surprised with twists and turns alongside a perfect happily ever after. One-click your copy today!

mybook.to/RoyallyInTrouble

And don’t miss the Illustrated Hardcover! It's NOW LIVE and has over 40 hand-drawn illustrations to bring Keller and Lilly's love story to life! You can get your copy HERE!

I have two responsibilities as the new heir to the throne:

1. Get married.
2. Have babies.

Sure, becoming queen one day is part of those new responsibilities, but as long as King Theo is in charge, I don't have to add a coronation to my list.

That's why I find myself in the throes of wedding planning, pre-wedding classes with my broody, over-protective fiancé, and counting down the days until we can finally say I do.

But with every day we grow closer to our wedding, we seem to grow apart.

Our commonalities are tested.
Our faith in each other is questioned.
And our safety is threatened.
The only thing working? The command he has over me in the bedroom.

I keep telling myself, it’ll all work out. We just need to make it to the wedding day. Except, when the day finally comes, everything falls apart.

We might have made it through the last few months together, but now I'm not sure we're going to make it out of this alive.

mybook.to/RoyallyInTrouble

My Review

So, you really do need to read Royally Not Ready before this book. Ohhhh yes! I was ready to get back to more Lily and Keller! I couldn't wait to see how things were going for them. And of course they couldn’t just be “normal”. Being future king and queen put all sorts of expectations on them. I was cheering them on and wanted them to be happy. I went through all the emotions with them in this book. And I didn’t want their story to be over. This story sucked me in and I’m so thankful Meghan Quinn gave us more from these two lovely characters! Grab your copy today!

Samantha Brentmoor, John Hartley, and James Joseph are narrating in duet this sexy, royal romance with a twist, and you will not want to miss their performances!ROYALLY IN TROUBLE releases in audio on June 12th! Pre-order your copy today!

Kelly Elliott - Cherished Enough review

noreply@blogger.com (Abs) — Tue, 06 Jun 2023 12:30:00 +0000

I'm loving this charming Montana town and the people and families in this book! It was time for Morgan's story this time. She's loved Ryan forever but nothing has transpired between them so she's ready to try to move on. This story has a bit of suspense because there is a stranger lingering and watching; waiting. Clearly, it's not good to have a stalker, but this pushed up Ryan and Morgan's timeline. They realized how precious time is and she didn't want anyone but Ryan. At the same time, good things were happening for Morgan and she wasn't the type to let someone stop/slow her down! I was completely lost in this read and I certainly didn't see things coming! This story was intense and I was here for it!

Cherished Enough by Kelly Elliott is now live!

Morgan Shaw is my soulmate. She has no idea how much I desire her to fill the needs I crave. I've dedicated the last four years to learning everything I could about her. If my desire for her ever came to light before she realized how much she loved me, I would be labeled a stalker.

Some might find it a little creepy how I watch her every move. I find it exhilarating. I've even uprooted my entire life for her. Now this man has come into the picture and is not part of my plan. I see the girl's heads turn as he walks by, but Ryan Marshall has nothing on me and my love for Morgan. My obsession with her goes to my soul's deepest, darkest depths. If I can't have her, then no one else can.

It's almost time, Morgan, to be together forever. - The Ringmaster

Looking for a Fake Fiancé

Have you ever wanted to prove someone wrong so badly that you could taste it? It doesn’t matter if they’re right. The fact that they had the audacity to say it is what counts.

Hi. It’s me. I’m that person.

The man I’ve been casually seeing told me I’m not “wife material” and should “lower my expectations”. Didn’t he realize I lowered them the moment I met him for dinner?

Obviously not.

Am I petty? Maybe. Annoyed? Of course. Determined? Definitely.

I need someone to help me flaunt my new engagement—my fiancé couldn’t wait to pop the question because I’m that amazing—in his face.

The problem? I don’t have a boyfriend, let alone a husband-to-be.

Which brings us to you.

Are you handsome? Successful? A smooth talker extraordinaire?

Are you willing to do all the things that someone madly in love would do?

Putting your hand on the small of my back. Forehead kissing. Acting like I’m a treasure you can’t live without. I need you to be prepared to do all those things … and maybe more.

What do you get out of this? I’m willing to negotiate terms—especially if they include a job and a place to stay. It’s a long story. One night. One event. Let’s put on one heck of a show.

From USA Today and Amazon Charts Bestselling author comes a “hot and hilarious!” fake-dating tale between two frenemies that turn into roommates, coworkers, and, ultimately, lovers.

Fans of close proximity, one-bed trope, and blue-collar, small-town heroes will fall madly in love with this story.

My Review

Ohhhh Banks! I was excited to get this brother's story! Banks is most definitely misunderstood. Sure, he has a good time, seems to be carefree, but he loves just as hard as he plays. Previously, he had attached himself to his brothers but he's just a big cinnamon roll. He wants to love and be loved. They say opposites attract, and Sara was not on Banks' radar. But Sara and Banks also didn't get along. Or did they ... I loved the interactions between them and how the relationship shifted. Banks was there for her when she needed someone and not because he was forced into anything. I couldn't put this book down and I can't recommend it enough! I found myself laughing out loud at the antics of the Carmichael siblings and adored the love they had for each other. This book had me lost in the feels and I didn't want to walk away from these characters!

K. Bromberg - Sweet Regret review

noreply@blogger.com (Abs) — Thu, 01 Jun 2023 12:30:00 +0000

Sweet Regret by K. Bromberg is now live!

Vince Jennings has had two loves in his life. Music and Bristol Matthews.

His guitar skills catapult him to stardom with the most popular rock band on earth.

But it takes walking away from Bristol—his first love—to make this happen.

Despite the groupies, the success, the fun, life under the bright glare of fame and fortune isn’t enough.

Deep, dark pain threatens to derail all he’s worked for, until fate brings her back into his life.

***

Bristol Matthews has found and lost love earlier in life than most, but she is determined to keep moving forward and not look backwards.

Even though she is reminded of him every day.

Now, her long-held dream of becoming a lawyer is finally within her grasp. Until her boss assigns her a new client. The famous rock star Vince Jennings.

A man who can never know her truth.

A man who can see through her as if he still knows her.

The man who still loves her.

Something is different when their paths cross this time. Both are holding tightly to secrets that threaten to tear them apart. Isn’t that always how their story has gone?

Will this time around be different or no matter how true their love, is it just not meant to be?

My Review

Ohhhh. Myyyy. Goodnesssssss. I ADORED this book! Vince and Bristol have a past. And the chemistry between them was undeniable. They were each other's first love. But circumstances took them separate ways and Bristol never faulted Vince. And life had a funny way to bring them together again. As Vince was in the spotlight, Bristol had semi kept up with him over the years. But when life brings them front and center again, that chemistry was hard to ignore. Bristol was faced with him back in her life, sooner than she had thought. She was making her own way in life and while there had been some setbacks, she was still forging forward. I loved that work brought them together and they couldn't just run away from each other. I understood Bristol's hesitancy, but I was team relationship! Vince's muse was back in his life and the music just poured out of him. It was the one sure thing in his life. It was clear they were made for each other and they never forgot one another. I couldn't read this book fast enough and yet never wanted it to end! This book had ALL. THE. FEELS. and I can't recommend it enough! Do yourself a favor and DO NOT let this book pass you by!

Jessica Lemmon - The Man She Loves to Hate review

noreply@blogger.com (Abs) — Tue, 30 May 2023 12:30:00 +0000

Oooh, this was a fun, fast-paced read that I was completely lost in! Rylee and Trick appear to be polar opposites from afar. But once they meet in person, they find out maybe they aren't as different as they first thought. And they are drawn to one another. I enjoyed seeing their relationship bloom. Trick really sees Rylee and wants to be there for her! I enjoyed their chemistry and wanted their romance to go beyond the wedding! Be sure not to let this book pass you by!

It’s an upscale wedding planner versus a social media wedding crasher—Jessica Lemmon proves that even the most heated rivals can attract in the final installment of Texas Cattleman's Club: The Wedding.

She’s planned the wedding of the season…

Is she falling for the man determined to crash it?

Wedding planner Rylee Meadows will not let professional wedding crasher Patrick “Trick” MacArthur ruin her latest celebrity nuptials. They strike a bargain—he’ll film the prewedding events and her reputation will remain intact. As they work together, Trick encourages Rylee to let loose, and she soon discovers the infamous social media bad boy is really charming…and oh-so tempting. But that doesn’t change the fact he simply can’t be trusted! Not as a wedding guest…nor with her heart—no matter the promises he’s made…

From Harlequin Desire: Passionate and provocative stories featuring rich, powerful heroes and scandalous family sagas.

You’ll be swept away by this bold, sizzling romance, part of the Texas Cattleman's Club: The Wedding series:

Book 1: A Cowboy Kind of Thing by Reese Ryan
Book 2: Designs on a Rancher by LaQuette
Book 3: Four Weeks to Forever by Karen Booth
Book 4: Make Believe Match by Joanne Rock

My Review

Yes! Yes! Yes! I was so excited to get this book and I was completely consumed by Callum and Emery. Emery's life is a little in shambles when Callum shows up. She's not looking for a knight in shining armor, but Callum is there for her. He really sees her. And he knows how to wear Em down. I loved the banter between them; the passion! Callum is demanding and doesn't take no for an answer. Emery isn't a woman to be bossed around. I loved her sass! I loved the way this story is told and how we're also given small glimpses into Callum's life and his work. If you've read other J.T. Geissinger books, you will see cameos of other characters. I couldn't read this book fast enough and yet I didn't want it to end. Highly recommend this book!

RC Boldt - An Armored Heart review

noreply@blogger.com (Abs) — Tue, 23 May 2023 13:30:00 +0000

RULE #1: Do not catch feelings for the man who doesn't believe in love.

An Armored Heart by RC Boldt is now live!

Four months. That's how long I'll need to pretend to be Steele Cunningham's doting girlfriend.

I agreed to this insanity only to save my restaurant. He's doing it because he needs someone outside his "social circle" to stick it to his meddling parents and clingy ex.

Ruthless and emotionless in both his personal life and his career, Steele's ego rivals his net worth.

Operating on joy and positivity—and a healthy bit of feistiness—I challenge him at every step.

He's a tin man—heartless and cold. Falling for him would be a colossal mistake, because there's no chance he'll ever love me.

He can't.

After all, he's the man with an armored heart.

My Review

Whew boy! I was excited for this book from RC Boldt! I love a good forced proximity/pretend relationship and this book DID NOT disappoint! First off, the way Steele and Ella first met had me cackling! Ella was a spit fire and did not care who Steele was. Suddenly things took a turn neither saw coming and it put them in path to see each other often. I LOVED how Ella got to Steele. Ella was everything Steele was not. Warm, loving and considerate. But they had two entirely different upbringings and honestly, these two couldn't have been better suited. Steele just took a lot longer to deal with than most men :) Ella was a force to be reckoned with and she's someone I'd want to be friends with! She was loyal and loved fiercely. This book had heart and heat and everything in between. You do not want to miss this read!

KG Fletcher - Breathless Love review

noreply@blogger.com (Abs) — Tue, 23 May 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Hank might be my new favorite Bennett! He's such an old-fashioned gentleman and you can't help but like him! The chemistry between him and Ella Mae was palpable and believable. I enjoyed their friendship and the realness that was between them. Hank and Ella Mae had an instant connection, but it wasn't insta-love. They meet by chance and turns out, she's his idol's sister! But Travis doesn't have an impact as to why he and Ella work. Travis is a by-product. I liked that he liked her for her. I enjoyed the flow of this story and the development of their relationship. I liked how Hank brought Ella Mae into his world and was a rock for her, when she needed it the most. I couldn't read this book fast enough. While I do recommend reading the previous books in the series, you can read this as a standalone.

He’s chasing his honky-tonk dreams. She’s Nashville songwriter royalty. Will a road trip together set them on a passionate course toward their hearts’ desire?

Being a country music star is Hank Bennett’s ultimate goal. But after his band breaks up, he’s at a crossroads pondering his fate between music and working on the family farm. Lonely, libated, and a little bit lost, he attends the hometown concert of his country music idol, Travis Miller.

But he never expected to cross paths with Travis’s gorgeous songwriting sister, Ella Mae.

She’s outgoing, easy to talk to, and has several music awards under her belted daisy dukes. There’s something magical and mesmerizing about a successful female artist penning chart-topping country love ballads, and he’s smitten.

When Ella invites Hank to join them on the road during the last three weeks of the exciting tour, these kindred spirits can’t fight their attraction anymore – and his chivalry and wooing antics pay off into a night of unforgettable passion. She’s unleashed something inside him, and he’s unlocking her desires one by one. But a small town musician wannabe like him has no place in Ella Mae’s thrilling tour life when her famous brother becomes jealous of their unmistakable duo.

Will their shared harmony lead Hank toward country music stardom? Or will the dark side of fame steer him off course, leaving him a heartbrokenfarmer?

Author’s Note: A steamy standalone about two musicians at a crossroads. One-click for a handsome, country-boy hero who likes to woo his woman, and a loyal, talented heroine starting to remember who she is outside of her famous brother’s shadow. Romantic add-ons include a charming family farm, hayloft serenades, outdoor sexy times in the mountains, and a happily ever after that will leave you breathless for days.

Kat Martin, Alexandra Ivy, Rebecca Zanetti - Peril review

noreply@blogger.com (Abs) — Tue, 23 May 2023 12:00:00 +0000

I enjoyed how the stories inside are split into segments. And I wasn’t sure how they would connect but I was here for it! Alexandra Ivy started the stories and we learned about Deke and the lives he shattered. But Ian and Tessa had a second chance for a romance. Ian may have made a bad decision, but he was ready to show Tessa he wasn’t going anywhere! I hated how quick their story was over! I wasn’t ready for it to end.

Rescue - Rebecca Zanetti

Ella has been hurt by Caden and I LOVED her sassiness!! The blowing up his vehicle was just an accidental bonus lol She was not quite ready to forgive him. I loved their journey and how Caden would watch out for Ella, no matter what. And there was also danger lurking.

One Last Kiss - Kat Martin

Sam made a promise to Marty to look out for his niece when he died. But it was more like, make her work and show her what it really means. But the attraction between Sam and Libby was strong. I enjoyed their interactions and how they genuinely wanted to work with each other. There was an ease to them and they enjoyed each others company. Of course, there were bad guys out there.

From the romantic thriller powerhouses behind the instant USA Today bestseller PIVOT, comes three new interwoven stories about brave heroes who rise up to take down a treacherous gang bent on robbery and destruction, to keep their homes, and the women they love safe…

When a cop killer resurfaces in Denver, enlisting the help of a pair of local lowlifes, it marks the beginning of a violent crime spree that will wreak havoc and endanger lives. Law enforcement is on alert from the first sighting of the cold-blooded trio. To take down this brutal gang, only those willing to risk everything they hold dear stand a chance . . .

First, a pair of Denver police officers facing each other for the first time after one night of abandon find themselves working together to stop an ambitious bank heist. In Wyoming, a string of robberies marks the gang’s arrival, and the local sheriff springs into action when the criminals discover his estranged fiancée can identify them. Finally, in the mountains of Colorado, the gang takes shelter on a peaceful guest ranch, where a fiercely protective rancher is hellbent on roping the fugitives up for good.

Trusting their sharply honed instincts, three rugged men will fight to stop the rampage before the women they’d die for become the next victims . . .

“These twisty, sizzling love stories flow seamlessly together.” —Publishers Weekly on Pivot by Kat Martin, Alexandra Ivy and Rebecca Zanetti

Katana Collins - Wingwoman excerpt

noreply@blogger.com (Abs) — Mon, 22 May 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Every hit song starts with one thing... heartbreak.

Wingwoman, an all-new steamy, country rockstar romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author Katana Collins is available now!

As a country rockstar, I know one thing for sure: Every hit song starts with one thing... heartbreak.

She had two weeks to find my next muse...

...or she, herself, had to become it.

As a country rockstar, I know one thing for sure: Every hit song starts with one thing: heartbreak.

I've got six weeks to write my next hit album or else I'll lose everything: My label. My ranch. My horse rescue.

In order to save everything else, I have to lose the most important thing of all: My heart.

Which means that to write this album, I need a muse.

This is where hiring Hope Evans comes in. Professional Wingwoman and matchmaker extraordinaire.

There’s one problem – my muse has decided it wants Hope.

Another problem? Hope refuses to be The One.

So I made her a bet. She has two weeks to find me a muse... or she herself has to become it.

If she loses our bet, she’ll be losing her heart.

Because hearts like mine don't love...

They shatter.

In fact, I'm counting on it.

“Why don’t you just spit it out already, Josh?”

Momentary surprise lifted his face, but disappeared as quickly as it came on. “I need a muse.”

“I’ve always been partial to whiskey brown eyes. A girl who can have a killer comeback ready at any moment, and who can be just as comfortable around me in heels as she is in flip flops.”

He’d just described me.

“She has to be willing to ride a horse.” My gaze flicked to his crotch for only a fraction of a second.

How was I supposed to tell her I’d found her already? That she was my muse.

Ask any of the great artists … the best muse is one that’s complicated.

If I knew men… and I think I did… there was one thing that would bother any ex. Seeing his ex-fiance trading up with a bigger and better celebrity. Especially one that craved the spotlight as it sounded like her ex did. It sent my mind whirring with ideas.

”Move those hands or I tie them up.”

“I won’t last last long if you keep that up.”

“And in reality, we’re gonna be picking hay out of places where the sun don’t shine for days to come.”

“Good girl,”

“He looked at me in a way that I got the impression he not only saw me… but also knew me. Maybe even more than I knew myself.”

Hope’s lips formed an o-shape and I couldn’t help but notice the sheen of moisture across them. Wet. Ready. Ready for me.

“You have sixty seconds.”

- “Sixty seconds? Guess I better make them count.”

Could I do this? Say yes to one of my clients? For the first time in my career, could I allow myself to be the woman, not just the wingwoman?

I wanted to kiss her. Make her forget this world existed.

As I leaned down, her gasp filled the space between us and her whimper was the last thing I heard before I took her mouth, kissing her hard.

Publicly.

For all to see.

His potent scent surrounded me and I could taste the remnants of peppermint from his toothpaste as he groaned and hugged me closer, deepening the kiss.

Now, more than ever, I needed to stick to the plan. Fall in love. Let Hope destroy my wasted heart. Give the producers the songs they needed— my blood on the sheet music.

Hope Marcoux-Evans: Professional Wingwoman. I’m like your specialized dating co-pilot. A cockcomplice. A cooter recruiter. Take your pick. Basically, I’m a matchmaker, but I take my job one step further. My clients are the bait and I’m the fishing pole, directing that chum through the fish-filled ocean that is the dating world. And I am damn good at my job.

My Review

OH MY GOODNESS!!! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED this book! I couldn't read it fast enough! Hope and Josh were an unlikely couple. But there was something about her that drew him to her. Josh needs to be inspired and Hope brings out his creativity. While they have an agreement, real feelings get involved. Hope is at a crossroads in life and the timing for this work couldn't have been better. I thought this book felt realistic and I couldn't keep a smile off my face. I was involved in their relationship and wanted Josh to work his way into Hope's life for real. If you're looking for a feel good, fun read then please don't let this book pass you by! You won't be disappointed!

Laurelin Paige - Dirty Filthy Billionaire review

noreply@blogger.com (Abs) — Tue, 16 May 2023 12:30:00 +0000

WHEW BOY! Talk about hot! This book is very steamy and the title is a correct one! *Fans self* Simone is Donovan Kincaid’s personal assistant and she is a stellar employee. She is efficient and keeps her mouth shut. She has one little vice; she attends various charity dinners! This cracked me up but I liked Simone’s style. Steele is a Sebastian. Enough said! Now, if you aren’t familiar with the Sebastians, these men tend to get what they want. One night and an unexpected meeting brings these two together. And Steele brings the heat! He is drawn to Simone and she can’t resist him either. This book was fast paced and I was here for it! I couldn’t put it down and I highly recommend!

he disappeared.

Then fate intervened.

Amazon Worldwide: mybook.to/wrath

There’s only one person in the family meaner than my brother, and that’s my father. Neither of them would hesitate to send the dogs after a kid.

I’m a highly trained soldier, and I don’t hide or shirk my responsibilities. That’s for men without honor.

There’s nothing innocent about Alexis Clarke. Not a goddamn thing.

“I don’t answer to you.”

- “Like hell you don’t.”

Like it or not, tonight Alexis Clarke will be answering to me.

The worst part is that, even knowing she could be my ruin, I want her. I wanted her then. And I want her now.

Her expression is soft. Pleading. The walls are closing in, and I’m having trouble remembering why I can’t have her. Before I do something stupid, I pull my arm away to restart the elevator—and put some space between us.

I stop and turn to the beautiful woman who captured my attention when she was nineteen, with her smart mouth and the promise of sin, rousing something inside that I’d never felt before— or since. I didn’t act on it then. That didn’t happen until much later, after a long celebratory day and enough booze to make me stupid. Under a moonlit sky in a vineyard awash in fairy lights, I surrendered to the siren’s call. I’ve been paying ever since.

Melanie Harlow - Runaway Love review

noreply@blogger.com (Abs) — Thu, 04 May 2023 12:30:00 +0000

Runaway Love by Melanie Harlow is now live!

Yes, I'm a single dad who needs a nanny for the summer.

But hire the stranded runaway bride who shows up on my doorstep in a wedding gown with no references, no skills, and no experience?

No one is that desperate.

Except within twenty-four hours, down-on-her-luck Veronica Sutton manages to charm my kids, my family, and half the population of Cherry Tree Harbor into believing she's perfect for the job.

And for me.

It's not that I can't see the appeal-those baby blue eyes? The endless legs? That mouth made for trouble? But I've got enough on my plate, raising two kids on my own and keeping the family business alive. I don't have the time or the inclination to fall for an outspoken city girl.

So I should have kept my hands to myself.

Holding her in my arms was a big mistake. Even worse? Spending the night together. She ignites a possessive fire in me that I'm finding hard to snuff out.

But the most unforgivable? Growing attached to the sound of her laugh, the scent of her skin, and the way her body wraps around mine in the dark.

At the end of the summer, she'll be gone.
And if I'm not careful, she might run away with my heart.

My Review

OMG! I looooooooooved this book so much! I was 100% lost in the feels! Veronica has had a difficult few years and she lost herself. But she's finding herself again. And life may be leading her in a new direction, but she's not mad about it. Owen and Adelaide are the twins she's about to start caring for. She definitely wasn't expecting a grumpy dad to go along with them. But soon, Veronica gets under Austin's skin. They have to learn how to live together with her taking care of his kids. I adored this book and seeing Veronica and Austin grow as people. They weren't looking for relationship, but there was an ease to them and even though they wanted to fight it, the chemistry between them was palpable through the pages. I couldn't read this book fast enough and didn't want it to be over either. I can't recommend this book enough!

Rebecca Yarros - Fourth Wing review

noreply@blogger.com (Abs) — Tue, 02 May 2023 12:30:00 +0000

OMG OMG OMG!! THIS BOOK!!! EVERYONE needs to know about this fantastic read! I can't share my excitement enough over this one. I was literally sucked in and immersed from the very beginning and my heart felt all the emotions! I just kept gasping at the next page and next page, kept getting better and better. I honestly couldn't read this book fast enough and I never wanted it to end! I found myself gasping out loud often and I couldn't believe the next thing that happened. Violet was seen by leadership as less than, but in reality, she was so much more! I loved her strength and perseverance. And there's so much more to say but I don't want to ruin this beautiful story for you. I enjoyed Violet's friends and learning about those around her. I had to decide who I liked and who she needed to watch out for! This book was fast paced and very enjoyable. There's a lot of action, a bit of romance, and definite growth of the characters. I seriously cannot recommend this book enough. Please do yourself a favor and grab this book! Rebecca knocked it out of the park!

"Suspenseful, sexy, and with incredibly entertaining storytelling, the first in Yarros' Empyrean series will delight fans of romantic, adventure-filled fantasy." —Booklist, starred review

"Fourth Wing will have your heart pounding from beginning to end. Brutal games, grumpy dragons, complex characters, sizzling sexual tension, magic, and war...a fantasy like you've never read before." —# 1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout

Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders from USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Yarros

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.

But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.

She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.

Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.

Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.

Coming Home For Us audio review

noreply@blogger.com (Abs) — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 13:00:00 +0000

I thought this book was so sweet! Elijah and Maddie have an emotional journey. I really enjoyed their friendship and soon timing was right to change to more. Elijah suffered a big loss and Maddie had a loss, too but it didn't mean that things couldn't work between them. Elijah had a second chance at love and Maddie has loved Elijah for years but it wasn't able to work between them. I was cheering for them. I loved how Andi Arndt and Jason Clarke brought these characters to life!

The Wilder Brothers from New York Times best-selling author Carrie Ann Ryan continue with Elijah’s last chance at redemption and love.

I made plans. I followed the path. I fell in love.

Then the world took her away from me.

I swore to never love again, and I’ve done all I could to keep that vow.

But life finds a way, and I can’t stop this burning attraction with my best friend.

Maddie stood by me when my world shattered.

She deserves more than a broken man who promised to never love again.

Only I swear she feels the same way about me. And I have no idea what to do about it.

Now she might leave the Wilders, and I can’t tell her to stay—even if it means shattering the one piece of me I have left.

Katana Collins - Famously Flawed

noreply@blogger.com (Abs) — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 13:00:00 +0000

I love Katana Collins's books and while this one was short, it was fun and fast to get lost in! Emma and Pierce have put the real world aside and are tied up in their bubble, enjoying each other in Croatia. Things aren’t supposed to get serious, but feelings are hard to put aside. And some friendships aren’t meant to be. I enjoyed the chemistry between Emma and Pierce and the way they care for each other. This story ends on a slight cliffy, and I can’t wait to read more in Famously Mine!

A swoon-worthy sequel to Famously Bad from USA Today Bestselling Author Katana Collins! If you like smoking hot romance with billionaire alpha heroes, you’ll love this steamy, short read!

One week ago, I never would have dreamed that I’d be on a Mediterranean vacation with massive movie star, Pierce Whitley. Me. The second grade teacher who was left at the altar just over a week ago was now traipsing around Croatia with a yacht under foot and a movie star on my arm.

But vacations are temporary—and so are whirlwind romances.

There's no future for us.

A love like ours was never supposed to be.

So when our very private moment on a beach becomes public and plastered all over the tabloids, it unleashes Pierce's demons and a closet so full of skeletons, it might as well be a graveyard.

Pierce Whitley isn't just flawed...

He's famously flawed.

From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn comes a fun, sexy story about the family dynamics that can stand in the way of rekindling a romance.

Prepared for a good time, Tessa is thrilled to spend the weeks before her sister’s wedding at their family’s favorite vacation spot: Santorini. Sandy beaches, stonewashed houses, attractive men—it’s heaven.

But Tessa’s idea of a girls’ trip comes to a screaming halt when her sister thinks it’s high time Tessa finds some love herself. Unfortunately, Tessa forgot about the deal she made back in high school: she has to find her soulmate before her sister’s wedding. Or else.

As she dodges suitors and her sister’s pranks, Tessa finds an ally in the oh-so-dreamy Myles, her childhood crush who just so happens to work at the resort. But Myles is dealing with some family conflict of his own. He’s elated at being reunited with Tessa, but his father’s refusal to acknowledge his interest in the family business and relegating him to only grunt work casts a dark cloud.

As Tessa and Myles help navigate their way through their families’ antics, they begin to realize that their past feelings may have a future—if only they can turn their island fantasies into something real.

J.R. Ward - Lassiter review

noreply@blogger.com (Abs) — Wed, 12 Apr 2023 13:00:00 +0000

OH MAN. Not going to lie here, I was worried about this book. I've been to previous J.R. Ward events and she dropped little hints about it. But! I wasn't going to let it stop me from reading. And I wanted to stay and dwell in the BDB world a little longer. I didn't want to read it too quickly because I was excited :) And if you were at Readers on the River in 2022, there was something from that event that ended up in the book! #IYKYK

This book was so, so good! I was completely wrapped up in the BDB world and all that Lassiter had been through. I wanted a HEA for him!! This book had twists and turns and I couldn't put it down. I don't want to ruin any of Lassiter's journey but if you've made it this far in the series, you'll enjoy this book. J.R. Ward has a way with words and I felt for these characters. Do yourself a favor and grab your copy!

Destiny, duty and desire clash in this epic new novel in J. R. Ward’s #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series…

Lassiter, the fallen angel, is too good at the savior business. In his new role overseeing the fates of all vampires, he’s influenced outcomes he shouldn’t have- so the Creator is calling him home. But the angel has a reason to stay in Caldwell. He’s bonded with a mysterious female who’s seemed to appear from out of nowhere… and has powers that defy all reason.

Rahvyn is well aware that she doesn’t belong in the present. And she never intended to stay, for her true place is in the past. Lassiter proves to be undeniable, however, and she lets herself fall for the angel- until a secret he’s been keeping comes out and she fears that for him, it’s not about love, but duty.

As the Omega’s son reestablishes the Lessening Society, and the Brotherhood must resume the deadly war- an unfathomable tragedy occurs. In the aftermath, Rahvyn has to decide whether to stay and help- or save herself from an immortal heartbreak she knows will crush her very soul…

Jessica Lemmon - America’s Sweetheart review

noreply@blogger.com (Abs) — Tue, 11 Apr 2023 12:30:00 +0000

A disgraced starlet returns home to lick her wounds, and discovers her high school sweetheart is as tempting as ever...

America's Sweetheart by Jessica Lemmon is now live!

Old flames burn bright.

A disgraced starlet returns home to lick her wounds, and discovers her high school sweetheart is as tempting as ever…

When Allison Murphy left for California, she gave herself a new name and never looked back. Now her carefully crafted good-girl image is getting torn to shreds in the press thanks to her Oscar-winning A-hole of an ex-boyfriend. She escapes to the only safe haven she knows and trusts—her hometown—to take a breather while she plots her triumphant Hollywood comeback. However, when Allie arrives at her parents’ house, Jackson Burke answers the door instead. And suddenly the past comes rushing back…

First kiss. First time. First love. Jackson Burke shared a lot of firsts with Allie back in the day. And when she left, she took half his heart with her. Except she’s back, and even though he swore he’d keep his distance, he finds himself directly in her path now that her parents have hired him to remodel their house. His plan? Finish the job. Ignore his ex. Until one hot kiss goes viral, and suddenly, they’re the next big celebrity couple. Jackson agrees to play the part for Allie's sake, but there’s zero chance he’ll allow her close enough to break his heart all over again.

"True love and steamy seduction, with a healthy dose of destiny, make this latest entry a success." -Library Journal, starred review

My Review

I adore Jessica Lemmon's books and this one was no exception! I was very quickly lost in Jackson and Allison's story. This was a book I found I couldn't put down. Ohhhh the feels! Jessica Lemmon is one who does a great job bringing her characters to life and gets the reader to feel for them. This second chance love story was captivating, endearing and I didn't want Jackson and Allison's story to end. She is a young, Hollywood star who trusted the wrong people and she finds herself back home while the dust settles. Allison is the last person Jackson expects to see again, yet the pull between them is still there. While they don't know each other anymore, the past is in front of them and they work on being friendly. Jackson has never forgotten his first love. He has tried to move on and he wasn't holding out hope for her, but when he unexpectedly sees her again, all bets are off. I enjoyed the way this story moves from each of their perspectives and the way the past intertwines with the now. I love a good second chance romance and this book didn't disappoint! This read was fantastic and if you're looking for a feel good, HEA, this is your book! Be sure to grab your copy!

My Review

I was excited to get this book! The synopsis sounded soooo good! And guess what!? IT WAS! I adored this book and was lost in ALL. THE. FEELS. Jess is the ultimate book boyfriend. Oh man, oh man! I loved Jess and loved that he had loved Pippa for years. But these friends had never crossed those lines. Until now! Pippa’s mouth may have run away from her and she finds herself in a predicament. She needs an ex-husband. I couldn’t put this book down! I also didn’t want to read it too fast. I was totally lost in it and I can’t recommend it enough! Please don’t let this book pass you by!
