RELEASE BLITZ: PLAYING FOR KEEPS by Jessica Prince

 

Title: Playing for Keeps Series: Hope Valley Author: Jessica Prince

Contemporary Romance; Small Town Romance

 

When it came to the men in her life, Charlotte Belmont was cursed. She’d known losers, cheaters, abusers, and criminals, so it went without saying, she stopped trusting her judgment a long time ago. Then Dalton came into her life; a good, dependable man who made her heart race and her body hot. When she felt herself falling for him, she did the only thing she could think to protect them both . . . she ran like hell. Dalton Prescott was a protector by nature, so when the woman he’d been tasked to keep safe was almost killed on his watch, he carried that guilt like a weight on his shoulders. What made matters worse was that before everything went south, Dalton had started to care for Charlotte in a way that had nothing to do with his job. She’s determined to ignore their attraction and keep him at a distance, but he’s playing for keeps and has no intention of losing. However, when ghosts from the past start popping up, bringing with them a whole new threat, Dalton may be the only man who can keep her safe this time. **Hope Valley is a series of interconnected, standalone, small town romances.**

I always love a Jessica Prince book. This small town series is hands down my favorite by her. Perfect mix of sweet and sexy with a touch of angst to keep it interesting. 
I was so happy to see this couple get a book. We saw something stirring in the last book and I really wanted a HEA for Charlie the girl had gone through so much.
So we get their story and it was perfect but goodness we learn more about Charlie and I just wanted to hug this girl. Thank heavens we had Dalton to save her, and thank heavens she finally let him.
I hope there is another book because I was left with some questions about a character.

    

His eyes were still dancing with humor when he finally got a hold of himself and looked back down at me. “What’s so funny?” “The fact you thought you had to convince me you weren’t perfect,” he said, a chuckle still shaking his chest. “Believe me, Thumbelina, I’m well aware of the fact you aren’t perfect.” My eyes narrowed into slits when he started cracking up again. “All right,” I said snootily. “You don’t have to laugh so damn hard about it.” “You did everything you could to make my life miserable when I was put in charge of keepin’ you safe. You were loud, you picked fights constantly, you’re hardheaded, you had shit taste in music, you’re messy, and you were constantly eatin’ my yogurt, even though I put my name on it before stashing it in the fridge. Christ, baby. You pretended to have menstrual cramps just so you could sneak out on me when I was tryin’ to protect you. Straight up, you were a pain in my ass, so trust me when I say you don’t have to warn me.” I squirmed in his arms until he was forced to let me go, and took a step back, planting my hands on my hips while shooting fire from my eyes. “First off, I do not have shit taste in music.” “Babe, every one of your playlists is like bein’ trapped at the g***** Lilith Fair with no escape.” “Second,” I continued, ignoring his dig, “I’m not messy. I know exactly where everything is.” His brows climbed high on his forehead as he looked around my apartment to the piles of clothes and shoes strewn about. “I got really tired after finishing my laundry,” I defended snappily. “But I’ll have you know, they’re all clean, and like I said, I know exactly what is in each and every pile.” He grinned arrogantly, and I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do more, kiss it or smack it off his sexy, stupid face. “Whatever you say, sweetheart.” “And last, that yogurt was in my fridge. That means, labeled or not, it was fair game.”

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.

Release Blitz: WILD REBEL by Laurelin Paige



 

WILD REBEL, the first book in the Dirty Wild trilogy by @LaurelinPaige is NOW AVAILABLE!! 





Blurb:

We were supposed to run away after high school graduation.

When she didn’t show up at our meeting place, I gathered my courage and went after her.

It was a mistake.

I left bloodied and bruised.

My heart didn’t fair half as well.

 

I had no choice but to walk away.

 

Years passed. A decade. More.

I traveled the world, settled halfway around the world, made myself a name and enough money that I didn’t have to look back.

But I never got over her.

And when my memories got the best of me, I went looking. Put all my effort behind the search.

Even the best of the best private eyes couldn’t find the woman I’d deeply loved.

 

Then, out of the blue, she calls.

 

And, what she asks for, the favor that she wants?

I never thought I'd be willing to take a life.

But the truth is, and always has been: I'd do anything for her.

Book one of three in the final trilogy in the Dirty Universe. 


Reviewer: Tammi

Rating: 4.5 Stars


Fantastic start to what I believe is the last trilogy in this series.
Loving this "couple" reading quickly wanting to know more about their past. They ended messy and it seems their hearts didn't get the message, loving their reconnect. He is hurt and a bit damaged by their past and she isn't much better off. But Gah they are so hot and all the feelings are rushing back.
We are also working through a mystery that links to their past. 
But WOW! the ending I NEED the next book NOW!!

Reviewer: Tammi 
Rating: 4 Stars 

    Lauren Blakely has successfully dipped her toes in the paranormal genre. A story full of magic and love. I couldn't put it down.
But that's not all she pulls us into an art mystery. 
I loved the beautiful imagery. A couple from two different times or is it different worlds (not a green alien!)? Not sure how to describe it but it was fascinating. I was a bit worried how it would work. Oh silly me Ms Blakely never let's me down. I got everything I wanted after a few chapters that hurt my heart.
I hope she writes more in this genre because I enjoyed spending my afternoon lost in this story! Blurb: The first time a woman stepped out of a painting, I thought I was seeing things. The second time, I thought I was going mad. The night she emerged from a Renoir, I felt something else entirely — a deep stirring of desire, and the wish to get to know the brilliant beauty who’s been trapped inside a painted garden for years. She can only come out at night in the Musée d'Orsay, where I work. There, after hours, we wander through galleries, with the Van Goghs, the Monets, and the Toulouse Lautrecs the only witnesses to our midnight kisses and, soon, our trysts. She opens her heart to me, and I learn her story. But she keeps secrets too, ones I hope to unravel. Why she was trapped. Why Renoir is hunting her. And why artwork in famous museums across the world is starting to disintegrate. Why I, too, seem to be the only person who can repair the masterpieces. As I fall deeper for the woman who’s trapped in a museum, I’m caught up in another side of Paris after dark, one inhabited by forgers, ghosts of famous artists and, impossibly, by Muses. But someone is after the woman I’m falling in love with, and it’s up to me to save her…even if it means losing everything I’ve found with her.         NOW AVAILABLE!!! ✦Amazon ➜ https://blkly.pub/TheMuseAmazon ✦Apple➜ http://blkly.pub/TheMuseApple ✦Nook ➜ http://blkly.pub/TheMuseNook ✦Kobo ➜ http://blkly.pub/TheMuseKobo ✦Google ➜http://blkly.pub/TheMuseGoogle ✦Audible ➜ https://blkly.pub/TheMuseAudible         About the Author: A #1 New York Times Bestselling, #1 Wall Street Journal Bestselling, and #1 Audible Bestselling author, Lauren Blakely is known for her contemporary romance style that’s sweet, sexy and witty.

    I was so excited for this story! 
An older woman, younger man..
Yes Please!
A forbidden love, her best friends son
Absolutely need to read!
I was hooked and couldn't put this book down. I loved this couple together they were fun, flirty and Hotter than Hell!!!
I was worried how it would play out. I was cheering for them. 
After a few worrisome chapters Xavier Neal gave me everything I wanted and more. Blurb: Aleatory. As in ey-lee-uh-tawr-ee. As in an adjective. As in a synonym for unpredictable. As in the only word to describe making the mistake of falling for someone who is not only ten years younger than you, but your best friend's son...   About the Author: Xavier Neal is a best-selling romance author who enjoys hopping from sub genre to sub genre like a game of Hopscotch she can't resist. In between writing, she loves to read (everything from romance to self improvement books), watch movies (old and new), eat too much Tex-Mex (her Chuy's t-shirt collection is out of control), and watch AHL hockey games LIVE (preferably against the glass whenever possible). She currently resides happily in Texas with her bearded husband "Lumberjack" and her rather lazy dog, Missy.   Connect w/Xavier: Website: https://www.xavierneal.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/XavierNealAuthorPage Twitter: http://twitter.com/xavierneal87 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/authorxavierneal Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4990135.Xavier_Neal Amazon: https://amzn.to/2KAOA4z Bookbub: http://bit.ly/2KA7tEW NL Signup: https://www.xavierneal.com/newsletter

My life was perfect, until that one fateful night it all fell apart. 

.

And I became invisible.

.

When my brother died, my parents looked right through me. My lonely feet stumbled and I finally fell.

.

Nobody truly knows how deep the darkness within me dwells, nobody except him.

.

I’m afraid of the fire he ignites within me. Afraid it will burn through the walls I’ve built to shelter my bruised and wounded heart.

.

What if I can’t find my way back?

.

I can’t lose myself again.

Rating: 5 stars!!


So after falling in love with Poe and Stella, the main characters in books 1 and 2, I didn’t think I could love another couple from this series more but dang, Sunday and Payne blew me away! 


We were introduced to these two in the previous books and I was so pumped to get their story! I loved this couples history, the angst on this book was heart breaking at times.


The author may be new, this is her third book, but she is a queen at cliffhangers and creating characters you will fall in love with! 


About the Author:



Samantha Lovelock is a sarcastic individual with a decent sense of humor, darknesses hidden in mind-closets that occasionally Jack-in-The-Box her unsuspecting ass, and love and loyalty for her friends and family that runs deeper than any ocean. Her guy means the world to her, and so does her cat; sometimes even in that order. Her Mum is her hero, hands down. She's a proud Queen of Innuendo, champion of Name That Tune, and has never met a cliffhanger she didn't like. She lives in the foothills of the beautiful Canadian Rockies with her British cowboy and their Norwegian Forest Cat, Winston Churchill.

RELEASE BLITZ: BACHELOR SWAP by Lacey Black

 




Title: Bachelor Swap
A Bachelor Tower World Novel
Author: Lacey Black
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 23, 2021


BLURB

I’m in trouble.

On the brink of losing everything I’ve worked for, I have a choice to make. Sit back and watch it all evaporate before my eyes, or accept a deal with the devil himself, my identical twin brother, Matthew.

He has agreed to fund my floundering cattle ranch if I do three things:
  1. Oversee the redecorating of his apartment in the famed Bachelor Tower in Boston.
  2. Make sure his latest business deal proceeds without a hitch.
  3. Break up with his girlfriend, Kyla.
Seems easy enough, right?

Wrong.

Pretending to be my brother is hard enough, but tossing in an instant attraction to my brother’s girlfriend adds an extra layer of complication I wasn’t prepared for. All I have to do is get through three weeks portraying my brother, and I’m home free.

Shouldn’t be too hard, as long as I can keep my heart out of the deal.


*Bachelor Swap is a sexy contemporary romance addition to Ruth Cardello’s Bachelor Tower World.

I’ve loved all of Layla Hagen’s books so I was excited to get this new one on my kindle! I was hesitant at first because I don’t really enjoy books where the hero patented to be someone else but these two, Mason and Mathew were both swoon worthy!


I loved Kyla! She was such a fish out of water in the city so I was not at all surprised that her and Mason had an instant connection! 


The one thing I love most about Hagen’s books are that they always have such amazing secondary characters! I loved all of them and I want more!


I will always recommend this author to romance readers!!

BLURB

Back in her hometown of Ruby Falls, Aria Heart is determined to find herself and the happiness that has always felt just out of reach. Something that would be a lot easier to do if her parents weren’t so close by, reminding her just why she left town as soon as she could, and if the house she just purchased wasn’t already giving her problems.

Just when Aria starts to second guess her decision, Tide Goodman knocks on her door and shoves his way under her defenses. Is it possible that the happiness she’s been searching for is attached to a man like Tide, the guy she crushed on in high school who didn’t even seem to know she existed? A man with an adorable daughter and baggage of his own?

In order to find out, she’ll have to put everything, including her heart, on the line one more time.

If you loved Falling Fast and Tide you're going to want to read this book.

I loved Falling Fast, Colton and Gia’s story, so I was so excited to get Tide’s story!! Reynolds was one of the first romance authors I found, soon after her debut, and I fell head over heels for her writing style!!

Tide has a daughter, Olivia and I was so happy to see her more!! I loved her on the first book in this series! Tide is the perfect hero! He is swoony and so attentive to Olivia and Aria! 


I was so happy with this book! I loved the characters and the world Reynolds created! I also loved that there was hardly any angst in this book!!

BLOG TOUR: FRACTURED THINGS by Samantha Lovelock




 Book Description:


Stella
Poe Halliday could have been my everything. The boy who allowed me to dream again.

Over as quickly as it began, one night ended it all with a dark secret spit from cruel and twisted lips.

The secret that stole her from me.

After spending my entire life living with my mother’s demons, I refuse to let them take anything else away from me. 

I’m stronger than they think I am, and the only way I can escape this nightmare is to fight.


This time it will be on my terms.


I have to go back.


Poe

Stella Bradleigh shone like the brightest star. Able to keep my shadows at bay with nothing but her smile.

I’ve been unknowingly living under the same roof as the devil incarnate—the architect of a horrific event kept secret for so long.

The secret that stole her from me.

When she left, my world turned cold again. 

From the day she arrived, I knew my heart belonged with hers, and even though I tried to push her away, she became a part of me. 

The shadows in this town are no match for the ones I carry. I’ll stand by her side and fight.


This time it will be on her terms.


She has to come back.



★ Fractured Things is the second book in Poe and Stella's story and the second book in the Folkestone Sins series - it can't be read as a standalone. This is a dark, mature high school/new adult romance. It contains situations and flashbacks that may trigger some readers, language that may be offensive, and scenes of a sexual nature (all consensual).

This the second book in the Folkstone Sins series and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it!! We were left in book one with a major cliffhanger! 


You would think, and hope for the heroines sake that the surprises ended after the bombs dropped on her in the first book but Stella is not so lucky! 


I loved this book! It was so intriguing and kept me on my toes! The characters, both main and secondary were amazing! I cant believe this is only the authors second book!
