RELEASE BLAST: DUSK by Aleatha Romig

 

Release Date: November 24 

“When your whole world is shaken from all the risks we have taken, dance with me. Dance with me into the colors of dusk.” ~ Ben Harper 

I’ve served my country, a man, and a cause. I’ve given my whole being while at the same time finding its true meaning. There was no way for me to know that the day I met the men who were to become my best friends they would introduce me to the love of my life. 

Fiery, red hair and hypnotizing, emerald eyes caught my attention. 
Creamy soft skin, a stark contrast to mine, seduced my body. 
Strength, devotion, and determination stole my heart.

I am Reid Murray and I’ll kill without regret to once again dance in the dusk with my wife. 

This war has only begun. I won’t rest until it’s done.

This book was riveting!! I couldn't put it down. Amazing start to trilogy that is part of the Sparrow world. I have to say this world is my favorite from this author.(FYI- I have read all of her books)
The suspense with a love story woven in. We know these characters, we met them in the other books but we didn't know their story, their past.
This books gives us their history while spinning a present story that had me on edge. I was scared for familiar characters and worried with others.
In true Aleatha Romig fashion I am almost given a HEA but Bam!! she hits me with some information at the end that has me dying for the next book because OMG!, WTH?

- Stacey Lynn, author

Little Lies, an all-new, angsty and emotional new adult romance from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting writing as H. Hunting is out now!

I don’t want you.
You mean nothing to me.
I never loved you.

And I cut her down.
Shoved the blade in and watched her fall.
I said I’d never hurt her, and I did.
Years later, I’m faced with all the little lies, the untruths, the false realities, the damage I inflicted, when all I wanted was to indulge my obsession.
Lavender Waters is the princess in the tower. Even her name is the thing fairy tales are made of.
I used to be the one who saved her.

Reviewer: Chelsea 

Rating: 4.5 stars!!


I’ve loved all of Helena Hunting work and I was so excited to get Lavenders story! I knew it was pumped to get to know what happened in this heroines past to make her become the woman we met in the previous book.  


Lavender is the daughter of Violet and Alex Waters and she has known Kodiak for years. In her youth Lavender dealt with a trauma that left her suffering from extreme anxiety. 


Unlike the previous Pucked books this done is heavy on the angst and less on the funny.  Never the less this book will keep your interest and you will be sad when it’s over! I loved that we got to see all the old characters from previous books and I loved that most of the kids from previous books seem to be present. 


I can’t give much away because I went in blind and I feel like that is the best way to get this book, know as little as possible beforehand! I would 100% recommend this to people who love a good angst romance and those who have read Hunting’s work before! 


Excerpt

The front door swings open, and the never-ending nightmare that is this day smacks me in the face like a long-expired sausage. Kodiak stands in the doorway wearing only a pair of swim shorts, wet hair sticking out all over the place, water dripping on the damn floor. But God, is he ever glorious. Muscle layered over muscle, thick biceps flexing as he holds the doorjamb, a mischievous grin popping the dimple in his left cheek.
My heart seizes and gallops. I miss this version of him: the one that smiles and doesn’t hate me.
He ruins everything a moment later by bellowing, “Who’s fucking in the driveway?”
His gaze moves to Dylan, who looks as horrified as I feel, but as it shifts to me, his smile drops and my stomach tightens.
“You should really go,” I tell Dylan.
“I’ll see you around.” He disappears into his car and barely has the door closed before he’s backing out of the driveway and screeching down the street.
I adjust my backpack on my shoulder and head for the house, steeling my spine and my nerves because Kodiak is still standing in the middle of the doorway, his face a mask of indifference. I try to brush by him, but he stays where he is, making it impossible.
I sigh, exhausted beyond belief. I just want to go upstairs and have a good, cathartic cry. I try to mirror his apathy. “Can you move so I can get into my house?”
His brow furrows as his eyes move over my face. He lifts his hand, like maybe he’s thinking about touching me. There’s no way I can handle that. I jerk back and swat his hand away. “What are you doing?”
“Your lip is bleeding.”
“Don’t act like you actually give a shit, Kodiak.”
“Tell me what happened.” His voice is low and soft, and for whatever reason, that makes me even angrier, so I lash out, wanting to wound him the way he keeps wounding me.
“You, Kodiak. You happened, and you ruined my goddamn life. Now get the hell out of my way.” I elbow past him, almost tripping over several sets of running shoes.
I head straight for my bedroom and lock the door behind me. I slide down the wall until my butt hits the floor and close my eyes, taking deep breaths.
I imagined the concern in his voice.
I imagined the pain that sat heavy behind his eyes.
We see what we want to, not the truth, especially when it hurts.

RELEASE BLAST: BREAK ME by Meagan Brandy

 

Release Date: November 19

I had a plan, and it was solid.
 
Track down what was hidden away and take pleasure in toying with it. 
Toying with her. 
 
That plan, it worked like a charm.
Until it didn’t. 
 
Turned out, the feisty little thing I found was far from what I hoped for. 
She was different from all I knew and more than I expected.
 
She was light, and I’m the bastard who led her into darkness.
But this girl... she followed with a smile.
 
I told her I break pretty things.
She asked me to promise.

Royce is finally here and I'm elated.
Although you no of Royce from the other books This book can be read as a standalone. I would recommend reading the other books first but if you don't you will still enjoy this book.
The book was full of angst and the story intrigued me so much that I found it addictive.
Royce wrecked me. He was everything I wanted in a character and more. There was lots of layers to him not just the playboy sort of guy we knew of him. He's lost in so many ways and has the biggest heart. The author did a great job peeling back his layers at a good pace and showing us who he truly was. My heart ached for him so many times throughout the story.
The story starts with secrets, control and wanting revenge.The story was captating.
This is my favourite book of the author's and Royce my favourite hero.

If Pretty Woman was a book this would be it !!!!

 I loved the dedication and as a mum and friend my heart really feels this “ For my girls . May you always know your worth.” ❤️

“ Cara” ( Lydia) has worked for Inez ,owner of Hush for the last 5 years and a degree of annoninimity is needed or her line of work ,despite the cover of a luxurious spa 🤭🤔😉


A glitch in someone else’s plans brings “Cara” face to face with eligible bachelor Talent Ridge and damn girl I wish I were in her shoes 🤭😉

Talent oozes charm ,appeal and so much more and there’s never a shortage  of female attention but nobody has ever caught his attention and affection quite like “Cara” 

While I was reading Tramp I had this “Pretty Woman “ vibe but with a twist . 
I like that “Cara” had her standards and rules and stuck to her guns . I appreciate that Talent sees the woman and the person “Cara” really is and he never misses an opportunity to build her and encourage her ❣️

I fell in love with these 2 people and despite the outside influences they make it ❣️ 

This book really did it fir me I cringed ,I laughed ,I cried ,I got angry ,I swooned and boy oh boy was I spoiled with 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 treatment ❤️😉 Blurb: Lydia Montgomery is a Tramp. After fleeing a tragic past, Lydia’s determined never to go back to the life she left behind at any price. She lands in Grand Haven, California—a city booming with billion-dollar corporations and tech money—and everything changes. Armed with the only lesson she learned from her mother, Lydia builds a life of routine, solitude, and success. Nothing is out of reach when you’re beautiful. Nearly a decade after her arrival, Lydia's the highest paid escort in the city, and only the most influential people in Grand Haven can get near her. She's a goddess among her clients, and out of reach to everyone else. Lydia's created the perfect illusion, and no one will take it from her again. Until a misunderstanding lands her in the office of the city’s most eligible bachelor. Talent Ridge is Grand Haven royalty. Despite running in the same circles as Lydia’s clients, he’s scandal-free and on his way to being the most powerful man in the area. Their chemistry is undeniable, but a relationship has the potential to destroy everything they’ve worked for. Especially when Lydia is running from her past, and Talent is running toward a future she can never be a part of. Beauty and money can’t save them this time. Are Lydia and Talent willing to give it all up for each other, or will their differences cost too much?       About the Author: Mary Elizabeth was born and raised in Southern California.

RELEASE BLITZ: LOVE TO HATE YOU by Jessica Prince

 

Title: Love to Hate You
Series: Hope Valley
Author: Jessica Prince

Contemporary Romance; Small Town Romance; Single Parent Romance


Micah Langford thought he was happy with his bachelor lifestyle…
until Hayden Young fell into his life and shook things up.
There’s just one problem.
The gorgeous single mother can’t stand the sight of him.




After her husband left her for her best friend, Hayden Young moved to Hope Valley looking for a fresh start for her and her daughter. The last thing she expected was to run into the man who had rocked her world in the middle of the wine section of the local grocery store. And no matter how many times she tells herself she hates the egotistical jerk, she can’t stop the tingle she feels every time she looks at him.

Micah Langford was a man who enjoyed variety. He had absolutely no interest in finding one woman and settling down. Then a one-night-stand from his past—and the best sex of his life—came rolling into town, and the self-proclaimed bachelor started wanting more. The only problem is, she can’t stand the sight of him. 

When hate gives way to fire, igniting a passion neither of them can deny, Micah finds himself thinking about the future—or more specifically, how he can fit Hayden into his. But when a case he’s working on heats up, and she starts asking questions he can’t answer, Hayden has a decision to make. She can either take a leap and put her trust in him, or she can let the secrets destroy them.  

**Hope Valley is a series of interconnected, standalone, small town romances.**

I always love a Jessica Prince book. She writes the kind of romance I love. This small town series are probably my favorite of hers each one better than the last.
Hayden our heroine went through a hard time a crappy time but got herself up and came back swinging. She was strong and I loved her for it!
Enter Micah a swoonworthy A$$hole. Their banter and connection was awesome. We met him other books and I have been wanting his story.
This author most definitely did not disappoint she gave me everything I wanted and more.
I hope we see more from our little Hope Town crew because I really love all the characters. 



Sometime into my second beer, Micah had suggested we move away from the bar and grab a table, something I was more than happy to do. Instead of sitting across from me, he’d taken the chair right beside mine, scooting it even closer so our knees brushed together with even a slight movement.

A couple hours later I was working my way through beer number four. My cheeks were hot, and not just from the alcohol. My head felt nice and floaty and there was a really pleasant warmth blooming beneath my skin.

At some point during our chatting, Micah had positioned himself so one of his arms was resting on the table beside mine, and every now and then he’d slowly drag his fingers across the back of my hand as he spoke, the touch barely there, as though he didn’t even realize he was doing it. If he wasn’t doing that, he was reaching out to brush my hair away from my face. Sometimes he’d tuck a lock behind my ear, dragging the pads of his fingers along the column of my neck gently before pulling back. Other times he’d simply reach out to caress the strands.

“Fuckin’ gorgeous hair, sweetheart,” he’d rumbled at one point. “And so damn soft.”

I’d nearly melted into a puddle right there in my seat.

As it was, those small touches had me riled up in a way I hadn’t experienced in a very long time. I’d been in a constant state of arousal for a while now. My nipples were so tight they ached and my panties got wetter every time he laughed or smiled at me. Hell, just the scent of his aftershave, something clean and musky, was making me lightheaded.

“So tell me something about yourself,” he insisted.

“There’s really not much to tell. I’m just a normal, boring chick,” I answered evasively, as I’d been doing every time he asked me about myself. I was in this bar in the first place because I needed an escape from the shitstorm that had become my life. I’d been in search of a reprieve from the dark, and I’d gotten just that in a very big and unexpected way with a sexy stranger. No way in hell was I putting a damper on any of that by talking about my ex-asshole.

“Somehow I doubt that very much, Red. You gotta give me something.”

I played off the fact that nickname sent a pleasurable tingle up my spine and arched a single brow as I sipped my beer. “Red?”

He grabbed another piece of my hair and gave it a playful tug. “Seems fitting. Now answer one question for me. You live around here?”

“No.” The answer fell off my tongue without any thought. It wasn’t technically a lie. Ivy and I would be moving in a matter of days, and it wasn’t like I was ever going to see this guy again. Evasion was the name of the game. “Just here for a few days for . . . work.” I lifted my beer and gulped. “You?”

“Grew up here but moved away after college. Just came back for the weekend ’cause my little sis is having a baby and the devil woman decided the shower was gonna be co-ed.”

“Ah, gotcha. So, family obligation brought you back.”

“Partly. Mostly it was the threat of death from my old man if I made my sister cry by not showing up.”

My head fell back on a long laugh. When my hilarity tapered off, I caught Micah staring at me, his green eyes flashing with heat that made my heart beat faster. I cleared my throat and teased, “So, if you’re supposed to be here for a baby shower, what are you doing in a bar?”

“Met up with some old buddies for a drink. We were just finishing up when I saw you walk in.” He leaned closer, lowering his voice as his fingers took another trip along the back of my hand. “Decided the smartest thing I could do was stick around after that.”

I was suddenly feeling lightheaded in a way that had nothing to do with the beer. The green of his eyes flashed again and his nostrils flared as he watched my lips part and my tongue peek out to swipe across the bottom one.

I’d never in my life been in a situation where I craved a man I didn’t know to the point it made me squirm. I wanted Micah in a way I hadn’t experienced in way too damn long. I’d never pictured myself as the kind of woman who could pull off a one-night stand, but the thought of missing out on this chance left a sour taste in my mouth, and the more time we spent together the more I turned that idea over in my head until it seemed like the most brilliant idea ever.

It wasn’t until my body’s unexpected reaction to him that I realized I hadn’t had sex in nearly a year. Once that little discovery pushed itself to the forefront of my mind, it was like a fire had been lit in my blood. Having sex with Micah was all I could think about.

I felt like I was someone else as I leaned forward and placed my palm on his thick, solid thigh, and I hardly recognized the throaty voice that came from my mouth as I said, “I have a room a few blocks away if you want to come back with me.”

I didn’t get that flash again, but that bright, vibrant green suddenly turned dark as he rasped, “Fuck yeah, Red. Let’s get out of here.”

Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That’s why God created central air, after all.
Jessica is the mother of a perfect little boy–she refuses to accept that he inherited her attitude and sarcastic nature no matter what her husband says.
In addition to being a wife and mom, she’s also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books–romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it’s a passion…there’s a difference. Not that she’d expect a boy to understand.
Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.
