RELEASE BLITZ: TWIST OF FATE by Tia Louise

Title: Twist of Fate

Author: Tia Louise

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: February 22, 2021

BLURB

A sexy, friends-to-lovers, second-chance romance with a twist by USA Today bestselling author Tia Louise.

To be “just friends” with a guy, you’ve got to follow The Rules:

Don’t touch him unnecessarily.

Don’t share your intimate dreams with him (even if he asks).

Don’t kiss him, and definitely don’t sleep with him.

Scout Dunne and I have been “just friends” since childhood.

He’s everything you could want—sexy, charming, confident—every girl’s wet dream.

Until we broke The Rules.

We broke them in the ocean, in my aunt’s bathroom, in my bed…

It was the hottest week of my life.

I’m one of the few people who knows the first-draft NFL star wants more than a life of sports.

Because we’re friends, right?

Not anymore.

Now he’s gone, and I’m trying to get my career back on track.

Mamma said a guy would never put your dreams ahead of his.

But the twist of fate?

It’s something you never see coming.

(TWIST OF FATE is a STAND-ALONE friends-to-lovers, single-parent romance. No cheating. No cliffhanger.)

I LOVED this book! It was sweet and sexy. Tia Louise never fails to give me a perfect love story.
Friends to Lovers and a second chance, a great combination that made for a book I devoured. I couldn't get enough reading as fast as I could but then I needed to slow down I didn't want it to end.
We met Scout in his brothers book and I knew I wanted his story.
We met Daisy and that adorable Melody in When We Kiss.
Their road to love was rocky, emotional at times and my heart was full as I hugged my Kindle when I finished.
One of the things I love about this author she connects her books but each is a complete standalone. We get visits from old friends and meet new ones we know better.
I CANNOT wait to see the story that started in this one.

EXCERPT

Scout

“It’s been a long time since we danced together.”

She doesn’t look up, but her smile grows. “It was homecoming, first dance of the year.”

“And the last. I still can’t believe you didn’t go to prom with me. All high school romances end at the prom.”

Her nose curls. “We were not a high school romance.”

“We might’ve been. The high school quarterback, all around hot guy who falls for the quiet, bookish future librarian. It’s the perfect setup for a movie.”

“All-around hot guy…” Her brown eyes roll adorably, and I’m glad the tension seems to have melted. “I’m not a future librarian.”

“I know.” I think about that night. “You did promise to have my back, though.”

“Until you broke the rules and kissed me.”

“It was a really good kiss. We should try it again to see if we’ve still got it.”

She steps out of my arms. “I’ve got a job to finish. Then I’m leaving Fireside.”

“Okay.” I shrug. “I’m not going to be here for long. Maybe we could pass the time together. Hang out.” I lean down to catch her eye. “What do you say, Tink?”

“Tink?”

“Tinkerbell. You remind me of her.”

“Does that make you Peter Pan, the eternal man-child?”

“I’m no child.” It comes out a bit hungrier than I intended, and her cheeks turn red so fast.

Should I say oops? I’m sure as hell not taking it back.

“I’ve got to go.”

She does it, too. She walks off, leaving me alone on the dance floor...

RELEASE BLITZ: CONJUGAL VISITS by Lani Lynn Vale

Conjugal Visits

Souls Chapel Revenants MC Book 2

Lani Lynn Vale

Release Date: February 23, 2021

About the Book

Don’t ever, ever, ever go near that boy. Not unless you want to be a single mother at seventeen. That boy is Bad with a capital B.

The words that my father spoke to me when it came to Trouper Aoki didn’t scare me like they probably should.

In fact, they only made me intrigued all the more.

When it came to Troup, there was just no resisting fate when it came to the two of us.

Even at eighteen, when we went our separate ways with the promise to come back to each other once we were done pursuing our careers, I knew he would always be it for me.

And color me surprised when eight years after making that pact with Trouper, we were once again reunited. Only this time in an undercover FBI investigation—me, the FBI officer, and Troup call sign ‘State’ as a military liaison.

Trouble always finds him. You’d do better to run far, far away.

Truer words had never been spoken.

From the time Troup was a young boy, he’d been in some kind of trouble.

So it only goes to show when he winds up in the FBI investigation with none other than Beckham Spurlock, his high school sweetheart, things are bound to go wrong.

Only, he has no idea how wrong until things go bad. Really, really bad.

All it takes is saving her by hurting another for him to see the wrong side of a jail cell.

To make matters worse, he has to live the next fifteen years in prison knowing that his son will grow up without him. And the woman he loves will likely move on to a man that isn’t so much trouble.

I really enjoyed this book!
Our couple wasn't supposed to be together. He was the "bad boy" she was warned to stay away from. But she didn't stay away and Thank Goodness! Because I got a fantastic love story. They had a love like no other it lasted through time, distance and crazy circumstances. Their love was unstoppable!!
One of my favorite things this author does is bring in characters from her other stories. It's like a visit from an old friend or Hey I know you! Yet each book is a complete standalone.
This is the second book in this series and I can't wait for more.

BLOG TOUR: BRIDE OF THE FRONTIER by HayleyFaiman

Title: Bride of the Frontier

Series: The Prophecy of Sisters

Author: Hayley Faiman

Genre: Fantasy Alpha

Release Date: February 18, 2021

“Honestly, I'm obsessed with this series! Hayley Faiman delivers when it comes to Fantasy. And Birdie & Colts journey did NOT disappoint... full of magic, angsty goodness, 🔥🔥🔥 chemistry, and ALL twist & turns!” ~ 5 Star Amazon Review

“Bride of the Frontier is packed with action, drama, and HOT steamy sex! … The journey Hayley takes us on was exciting! The next book can’t come quick enough!!!” ~ 5 Star Amazon Review

Birdie Collins is on a mission to find her two missing sisters. They are, however, the most responsible of the Collins girls, and they’ve vanished. It isn’t like them to disappear, not answer phone calls, not call their mother regularly.

Her worries vanish just as instantly as her sisters did when one minute she’s driving in Arizona and the next she’s in the middle of the hot desert—alone, without her car anywhere in sight.

A mysterious man on a horse scoops her up and takes her to a house, where she promptly passes out.

When she awakens, she’s met with a man. A beautiful man. He looks like he’s been ripped from the pages of an Old West history book. He’s tall and lean, his hair is a bit too long, but those green eyes render her speechless.

Colton James has known love. He was married once, and his wife was cruelly taken from him as a spoil of war. Even as the King of the Frontier, he vows never to marry again, no matter how badly his country officials beg for him to.

An ancient prophecy that her sisters have already set into motion is only solidified as Birdie joins them in their world. Magic fills the skies as they resist and fall deeply for one another, fighting the eclectic pull that the gods have created inside of them.

Will love be enough for the couple? Can it forgive hurts from the past? Is what they share even real or merely a mirage from the gods? If they cannot find their way together, the entire country will assuredly be in peril.

Loving this series! Hayley Faiman is venturing into the fantasy genre and NAILING IT!!
We are still getting everything we love from this author an a$$hole hero (those are my favorite), all the heat(needed a cold shower) and a live story BUT now we get magic!!
Time traveling, no wait dimension traveling or otherworldly traveling hard to explain but fantastic to read. Witches, flying horses, dark magic, dragons and more..
This book is a fantasy lovers crack and I am addicted.
Can't wait for the next one!!

As an only child, Hayley Faiman had to entertain herself somehow. She started writing stories at the age of six and never really stopped.

Born in California, she met her now husband at the age of sixteen and married him at the age of twenty in 2004. After all of these years together, he’s still the love of her life.

Hayley’s husband joined the military and they lived in Oregon,where he was stationed with the US Coast Guard. They moved back to California in 2006, where they had two little boys. Recently, the four of them moved out to the Hill Country of Texas, where they adopted a new family member, a chocolate lab named Optimus Prime.

Most of Hayley’s days are spent taking care of her two boys, going to the baseball fields for practice, or helping them with homework. Her evenings are spent with her husband and her nights—those are spent creating alpha book boyfriends.

RELEASE BLITZ: THE CRUSH by Penelope Ward

Title: The Crush

Author: Penelope Ward

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Release Date: February 22, 2021

BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone, second-chance story of forbidden love…

It’s natural to want the one you can’t have. And for as long as I could remember, I’d secretly wanted my brother’s best friend, Jace.

He was six years older and always treated me like the sister he never had.

Fast forward a decade.

We were all in our twenties now. Jace had moved in with my brother, Nathan, and me to help us make ends meet after our parents died.

It was just the three of us—an odd family dynamic.

Living under our roof, Jace was as bossy and protective as ever.

But he certainly didn’t look at me like a sister anymore. That was what made things so complicated.

I was pretty much hot and bothered twenty-four-seven.

And he was torn.

The signs were subtle, at first. Like on movie night, I’d casually rest my leg against his, and he wouldn’t exactly shift away.

Still, I assumed he would never…go there.

Nathan would kill us.

The knowledge of that wasn’t enough to stop the inevitable, though.

Eventually our slow burn exploded.

But more than the physical attraction, we’d developed a strong connection.

We just couldn’t get caught, right?

That sounded simple.

Until it wasn’t.

This is a story of forbidden love, broken trust, and an unexpected second chance.

PAPERBACK

Reviewer: Kim

Rating: 4 Stars

Another great book by Penelope Ward. You can never go wrong with her books.

This book was very intense and emotional and bought tears to my eyes throughout.

the story is also about taking chances and forgiveness. I loved the forbidden friends to lovers journey that Jace and Farrah took together.

There was angst in spades because there relationship was fodbidden. The chemistry between them from the very start was explosive. It had a balanced storyline of it being very sexy but at the same time sweet and romantic.

Jace and Farrah grew up together but he always felt unworthy of his love and attraction to her but when they got older the pull to her became to much to handle.

I loved jace and Farrah. One of my favourite characters from her books.
