REVIEW

REVIEWER: TAMMI

RATING: 5 STARS

 I had heard great things about this author and she has been on my Want to Read list for awhile. Definitely kicking myself for waiting because this was a fantastic book. I love her writing style. The story flowed easily allowing me to gobble it up in a day.
Lenny and Gideon were adorable best friends both keeping their true feelings secret for years. They made me laugh so many times with their fun flirty friendship. Then he took a bold step and I was thinking ok we are moving forward and the story got really good. More fun, more flirting but now we have added heat. A slow build of steam until they exploded and then it was Hot as Hell. 
But through it all their friendship was their strongest bond. I loved it! I loved them!
One book by Xavier Neal down and the rest of her book list to go. I will be reading more for sure!

RELEASE BLITZ Mortal Siege by N. Isabelle Blanco




Title: Mortal Siege
Series: Siege #2
Author: N. Isabelle Blanco
Genre: Dark Romance/Romantic Suspense
Release Date: February 28, 2019



Blurb

This isn’t how our story ends.
No. This murder we’ve just committed?
This is how our story truly begins . . .

I told myself I was going to save her.

I didn’t realize what a lie that was.

This neurosis has sunk in too deep. All it took was one glimpse of another man inside her for the beast that murdered Barnard to finish consuming me.

I’ve turned her into killer.

Just like me.

With every corroded, toxicity-infested sin laid bare between us, all that’s left is revenge.

And the chasm of diabolical need that tethers us.

A need to consume each other.
A need to make our enemies pay.
They stole seven years from us. Every ounce of sanity we had left.
Now, we’re going to steal everything from them.

Most of all, we won’t stop until every single one of them is dead.

I told myself I was going to save Lexi . . . in reality, I’ve finished ruining her.

And she would have it no other way.

Warning: this series is not for everyone. As the story progresses, dark themes are explored that might be a trigger for some. Please read at your own discretion. Definitely 18+.

REVIEW

REVIEWER: TAMMI
RATING: 4.5 stars

Such a sweet, sweet romance. I saw Rockstar in the title and Hudson is not what I was expecting. Usually I find a hot badboy hero but not this time he is sweet, caring, patient and simply swoonworthy it was refreshing.

The story kept me interested with a bit of angst from a meddling ex and the secret past Charlie was hiding ( WOW!). Once those were dealt with I could breathe and enjoy their blooming love.

The thing I loved most were the characters! They were fun and relatable. I was immediately welcomed into Hudson's family right along with Charlie and her best friend Monica ( She was awesome too). But little Mirabelle stole everyone's heart including mine. 

This is the first I have read by this author and I really hope it is a series. I can't get enough of this group.




Excerpt

The smart and rational side of my brain seems to be on a break because all I’m capable of doing is raking my eyes over Mr. Basketball Shorts. He’s tall with broad shoulders and the most pronounced abs I’ve ever seen up close. The baseball cap on his head is turned backward, and he’s currently wiping his face off with what I assume to be his shirt. That is the only reason he hasn’t seen me yet, and why I haven’t seen his face yet either. But I’m going out on a limb here and say it’s probably as gorgeous as the rest of him.

My eyes drift back to his drool-worthy chest, following the beads of sweat that are slowly running down his torso to the V-shaped lower abs until they disappear into the pair of shorts that sits low on his hips.

Sudden heat shoots through my body, making my cheeks tingle from the force of it. My brain uses that moment of distraction to finally kick back in again, reminding me of the situation at hand.

A total stranger is standing in my kitchen.

Half-naked.

And we’re all alone in this house.

Blog Tour: IRRESISTIBLE by Melanie Harlow

Irresistible - BT Banner.jpg



“Sexy, heartfelt--did I mention sexy? With the perfect touch of the forbidden, Melanie Harlow has outdone herself with single dad Mack and Frannie’s story!”

-- Ilsa Madden-Mills, Wall Street Journal bestselling author

Irresistible, an all-new fun and swoony standalone from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow, is available now!

Irresistible FOR WEB.jpg 


I’m a full-time single dad to three daughters and CFO at Cloverleigh Farms. I don’t have time to fall in love—I’m too busy trying to run a business, keep the red socks out of the white laundry, and get the damn pillowcases on without owing a dollar to the swear jar. Sure, Frannie Sawyer is beautiful and sweet, but she’s twenty-seven, the boss’s daughter, and my new part-time nanny—which means she’s completely off-limits. It’s bad enough I can’t stop fantasizing about her, what kind of jerk would I be if I acted on the impulse to kiss her? (Exactly the kind of jerk you’re thinking.) Actually, I’m worse than that—because I didn’t stop with a kiss, and now I can’t stay away. She makes me feel like myself again. She reminds me what it’s like to want something just for me. She’s everything I ever needed, but nothing I ever imagined. I’m a former Marine. I should have had the strength to resist her from the start. But I didn’t. And now I have to choose between the life I want and the life she deserves. Even if it means giving her up.

REVIEW:

REVIEWER: HEIDI
RATING: 5 STARS

Loved the cover art !

My introduction to Mack had me laughing  not only because it was funny but because I could so identify with his need to  have "child out time  " and like him I adore my kids ♥️

So Mack's wife left him and his 3 adorable girls and he's doing an epic job of rearing them and I laughed so many times because he's real and you just feel his anguish at being mom and dad and you identify with his frustrations, high's and lows .


So between juggling washing ,doing hair, feeding kids ,filling the swear jar ,ballet ,grocery shopping and what not Mack has to work and this is where his path crosses with Frannie ,on a family basis. 


Frannie has always had a thing for Mack since he started working at Cloverleigh . 
You must understand one thing about Frannie though, she's lived a very sheltered life and has a controlling mother but she wants to make her own decisions, mistakes, she wants a little freedom ....
Frannie also has a gift which has me weak at my knees....she bakes ...delectable goods but her macarons ,they're legendary and I drool each time I read about them and people's responses to them 🤤😉

Mack's eldery babysitter takes a nasty fall  and can't help him with the girls anymore so Frannie offers to help ....


Mack and Frannnie try to fight what's between them but the heart wants what it wants and even the girls love Frannie. 
Mack hit me hard ,right from the start ,he's an awesome dad that tries and do right  by his girls and even put his happiness aside to make sure they came first ♥️  and they were quick to let to let him know Frannie was it ! 
But if ever 2 people were made for each other it was them.  Frannie loves the girls like they're her own and it goes both ways .....


I just loved Mack, Frannie ,the girls and everyone at Cloverleigh....let's not forget the macarons 😉

Irresistible - Teaser 4 an.jpg

Excerpt:

I was holding my breath. I wasn’t even sure why, but it was something about the way Mack was looking at me. And the tension in his body—the taut muscles in his neck. The grip of his fingers on the edge of the counter. The set of his jaw. It gave the impression of restraint. Like he was holding himself back. Something unfamiliar hummed in the air between us. I could feel it—he wanted me the way I wanted him. No wonder I couldn’t breathe. Then he cleared his throat and turned away from me, cutting off the current. “Sure. Everybody needs to make mistakes now and then.” I’d forgotten I’d even asked the question. He turned the sink on, rinsed his dishes, and placed them in the dishwasher. I stood there staring at his muscular back, at the width of his shoulders, at the snug fit of his jeans on his butt. If I were his and he were mine, I’d go over and wrap my arms around his waist, press my cheek to his back. Then he’d turn around, winding his arms around me. He’d lower his lips to mine, and— “I should get you home,” he said, interrupting my fantasy. “Want to grab your coat?” “Sure.” But I didn’t really want to leave. I wanted to stay in this warm, chaotic house with him and the girls. Pretend I belonged here. Pretend I belonged to him.

The problem is so does everyone else, and she's about to leave on the biggest concert tour of her life. Headlining for the first time in five years. Around the world in ninety days. Should be a piece of cake. Until her new security detail walks in the room and she’s looking into the eyes of the only man who didn’t fall for her charm. It's only a matter of time till he falls for Hollywood's Princess.

REVIEW:

REVIEWER: RACHEL
RATING: 3.75 Stars

Hollywood Princess took me a little bit to get into at first I had a hard time connecting with Kellie, but as the story progressed I started to root for her and Brian.  A quick summary of the story is Kellie has a "fan" that is sending gifts to her and claiming that she belonged to them. That's where Brian comes in, now they had met previous to this story (I'm wondering if I missed that somewhere in another book.) She assumed he wasn't interested . Things are a little rocky at first between them.

Now Brian I loved. He's an former Navy Seal who knows what he wants and regardless of what happened before between them he makes his intentions known. After the 90 day tour, she's his. Can he stick to his timeline even as the sexual tension grows between theme? As the threat continues, can he protect her?

I had it figured out pretty quick who the stalker was, but that doesn't take away from the story, or for me it didn't. This story had great secondary characters, I loved her BFF/PA, Cori, she was a hoot.

Overall I really enjoyed the story and I love Natasha's work. I'll pretty much read anything she writes. I can't wait for the next book in the series and OMG that Epilogue was everything!!!!!!



 



   


When her nose isn't buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she's in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It's a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn't listen to her...

REVIEW
REVIEWER TAMMI
RATING: 5 stars

I recently discovered this author with Kings of Mayhem (book 1). While I enjoyed that one I am blown away by this one. OMG!! SO GOOD!! I LOVED it!

I was shocked and saddened through most of the story with so much death surrounding this MC. They were under attack and one incident in particular had me a mess. Such a heartbreaking scene and situation. I am so glad Cade and Indy our couple from the first book stayed strong because good lord he needed her. At one point I was so mad at him but my girl is smart and pulled through it.
The final chapters had me on the edge of my seat, gripping my Kindle as the past and current situation was revealed.
So glad I took a chance on a new author!! And cannot wait for the next one. In the mean time I will be checking out her other books.




Excerpt

When I opened my eyes, the door to the bathroom opened and Cade stepped in, his face and hair soaked with rain.
I watched him pull his shirt over his head, remove his boots, and the rest of his clothes. When he was completely naked, he stepped into the shower, and without a word, took me in his arms and pressed his mouth to mine. My body immediately responded and I melted against him, seeking comfort and pleasure in his hard body as it commanded me backwards until my back was against the wet, tiled wall. His big hands moved up to my face while his mouth moved fiercely over mine until his kiss left me breathless.    
But his kiss petered out as his emotion overtook him. I looked up into his tormented face. Pain and grief were like shadows in his eyes. His face was stiff and I could feel his heartbreak radiating from him with every beat of his heart. He dropped his forehead to mine.
 “I don’t know how to do this,” he said, his voice deep and strong, but at the same time, pained and heartbroken.
“It’s going to be okay,” I whispered.
He drew in a deep breath, his hooded eyes fixed to mine. “I don’t know what I would do if I lost you . . .” His voice broke and his thumbs found the slick skin of my lower lip, his eyes intensely focused on it. I had only seen Cade cry once. When he was eighteen and he’d ridden all the way to Seattle to beg me to come back to him after we had broken up. Otherwise, he was fiercely stoic. But now, standing in the steam, he was barely in control.
“I’m not going anywhere,” I replied.
His anguish was deep. I watched him squeeze his eyes shut and felt the slow exhale of breath as he opened them again. Droplets of water fell in rivulets down his beautiful face and dripped onto his parted lips.
His brows drew together.
“It hurts,” he whispered.
I nodded. “I know.”
He tried to kiss me but his lips trembled against mine and he pulled away. He slapped his palms against the tiled wall and took a moment. Water poured over his head and down his broad, muscular back. His face crumpled and he slowly sank to his knees, burying his face in my stomach.

BLOG TOUR & REVIEW: KILL SWITCH BY PENELOPE DOUGLAS

BlogTour-SBPRBANNER.jpeg


Kill Switch by Penelope Douglas
Release Date: February 11th


Kill-Switch-EBOOK (1).jpg


Kill Switch, an all-new standalone dark romantic suspense by Penelope Douglas.

WINTER
Sending him to prison was the worst thing I could’ve done. It didn’t matter that he did the crime or that I wished he was dead. Perhaps I thought I’d have time to disappear before he got out or he’d cool off in jail and be anything but the horror he was.
But I was wrong. Three years came and went too fast, and now he’s anything but calm. Prison only gave him time to plan.
And while I anticipated his vengeance, I didn’t expect this.
He doesn’t want to make me hurt. He wants to make everything hurt.

DAMON
First thing’s first. Get rid of her daddy. He told them I forced her. He told them his little girl was a victim, but I was a kid, too, and she wanted it just as much as I did.
Step two… Give her, her sister, and her mother nowhere to run and no fuel to escape. The Ashby women are alone now and desperate for a knight in shining armor.
But that’s not what’s coming.
No, it’s time I listened to my father and took control of my future. It’s time I showed them all—my family, her family, my friends—that I will never change and that I have no other ambition than to be the nightmare of their lives.
Starting with her.
She’ll be so scared, she won’t even be safe in her own head by the time I’m done with her. And the best part is I won’t have to break into her home to do it.
As the new man of the house I have all the keys.


Kill Switch is suitable for readers 18+. While it can be read as a stand-alone, all of the characters are developed throughout the series. The first two books, Corrupt and Hideaway, are now available through Kindle Unlimited!

REVIEWER: KIM

KS-Teaser-2.jpg


Excerpt:
WINTER 

“I’m sixteen, and I’ve never been kissed.” I put my hands on his chest, feeling my breasts grazing his body. “I waited for you.” “Winter…” “I waited for you,” I repeated, panting and brushing his lips with mine. “But I won’t wait forever.” I layered my lips with his and dipped my tongue out, flicking his lip as I rolled my hips on him. The unmistakably hard ridge of his cock rubbed against my panties through his jeans, and I moaned. He grabbed me under my arms, holding me up to his face. “That better not be a threat,” he bit out. And then he took my face in one hand and snatched up my lips, biting my bottom one, almost chewing it like he was starving. He groaned, I whimpered, and we both gave in, holding each other in our arms, our mouths melting together. I was fast and clumsy, and I couldn’t keep up with his kisses and tongue in my mouth, but I loved every second. He nibbled and bit and took with force, gripping the back of my hair to tip my head back and eat at my neck. He moved from my throat to my chin to my jaw and then back to my mouth, and I clutched at his shoulders, tugging on his sweatshirt as I dry-humped him. God, I couldn’t stop myself. He felt so good. It was like an itch that I needed to scratch more and harder. I tugged at my bow tie, unable to breathe. Pulling it loose, I unbuttoned my top button, finally feeling freer and diving in, hugging him to where he was sucking on my neck. My hips moved back and forth, grinding into him “Winter…” he groaned, pulling back. “I don’t want to…” I picked up pace, and he grabbed my ass, helping me move. “Don’t want to what?” I gasped out. “Make you dirty.” I slowed, touching his mouth with mine and kissing him softly. Why would he think that? “You won’t.” I shook my head, touching his face. “We won’t go all the way. We’ll just play.” He breathed out a laugh. I kissed him, and he dug his fingers in again, making my body explode and every inch of skin come alive. God, I loved it when he did that.
