Release Blitz: The Lovely Return by Carian Cole

 

The Lovely Return by Carian Cole is now live! They say be careful what you wish for. But on December 5th, Alex Fox makes a wish in the midst of a devastating tragedy. Little did he know, that wish would come true. Six years after that fateful day, a little girl wanders into Alex's studio. With her quirky personality, endless questions, and adorable smile, Penny Rose becomes an enchanting, yet bittersweet, distraction. Penny Rose was an odd girl—at least, that's what her parents said. Penny herself didn't feel particularly odd; she simply felt misplaced. As if somehow, in some way, she was living in the wrong place. In the wrong life. As the years pass, Alex and Penny develop a friendship. But it becomes harder and harder for them to ignore their undeniable chemistry, no matter how forbidden it is. Alex believed he'd never find love again, let alone fall for a girl half his age. But Penny is everything he could ever want or need. Not only is she caring, witty, and beautiful, but she accepts the past that haunts him. Penny couldn't be happier. She's been head over heels for sexy, brooding artist Alex Fox since she was six years old. But when her childhood dreams start resurfacing again—dreams of a life with Alex way before they ever met—she starts to think they're not dreams at all. They're memories. Penny's revelation to Alex threatens to tear them apart, making them question the impossible and unbelievable. Can love truly transcend time and death, giving them a second chance at their happily ever after? Or is Penny battling a broken mind that has led her down a path of heartbreaking delusion?

  BLURB:   Enemies turn to lovers, but can they trust each other as they chase the same prize? A sexy romantic comedy adventure from #1 NYT Bestseller Lauren Blakely… I live my life by three simple rules. Don’t mix business with pleasure. Always work solo. And family comes first. But when I head to the tropics for a quick job and meet a fiery woman who makes my pulse roar, I can’t resist bending the first rule for her. Trouble is, after we spend a scorching night together on the beach, I discover she’s my new enemy. The quick-witted and clever beauty is on a treasure hunt for the same damn prize – beating me in a race to find millions in stolen diamonds. See you later, sexy stranger. Too bad I keep bumping into my gorgeous rival all over this tropical paradise as we chase clues. Maybe it’s better to partner up. But, the more time we spend together sneaking into nightclubs and art galleries, the harder it is to keep my hands off her. And soon, I'm not just sleeping with my very irresistible enemy.

But if there's a touch of the familiar to some of you that's why!  

REVIEW
Reviewer: Tammi
Rating: 4 Groupie Stars

I really enjoyed The Jewel series from years ago.
The author had rewritten it, freshened it up and somehow made it better.
It still has all the adventure, all the suspense, all the mystery and definitely all the romance.
Although I read the original story this was like reading something brand new.
An enemies to lovers that grabbed me from the start and never let go. I read wide eyed knowing but not really knowing what would happen next.
Another fun and exciting story from Lauren Blakely.

Such a fun story!
A great sexy holiday read.
The trio have been friend for awhile and realize maybe they could be more.
And it quickly gets steamy as all MJ Fields books do(one of the reasons I love her)

He thrived as the boss of the southern mafia. Women had come and gone in his life, but he had never needed any of them. Once he was given his heirs, he no longer cared about marriage. He had one family, The Family. He didn’t need anything more. The gorgeous cocktail waitress at his private club is everything he despises. She gets by in life by her beauty, not striving for more. Just like his ex-wives. Beautiful, vain, and flighty. What kind of woman raises a kid in a camper, always picking up and moving? A selfish one. Someone who can’t be trusted. Fawn Parker isn’t a typical mother, but having a child when she was seventeen and alone in the world, she did all she could to give her the best life possible. The one thing she has taught her daughter is to never back away from an adventure. To live life to its fullest. The day that Garrett sees Fawn’s true character, he can’t seem to stay away. He wants to be near her and experience life through her eyes. It’s addicting and unlike anything he’s ever known. What he didn’t expect was to have to work for her attention. He’s never been told no until Fawn does it frequently. Tossing his demands, gifts, and interest in his face. She refuses to let his money and power control her. 

REVIEW
Reviewer Ebbie
Rating: 5 Groupie Stars

Scorch is the ninth book in the Smoke Series but can be read as a stand-alone. I’ve loved every book in this series and they just keep getting hotter.

Scorch is Garrett and Fawn’s story. Garret was born to lead and is a southern mafia boss. He doesn’t need anything or anyone except for “the Family”. He sees Fawn as nothing more than a beautiful girl getting by using her looks and being vain just like his ex-wives or so he thought. Once he sees her true character, he’s hooked and can’t stay away. He wants to experience things through her eyes. He’s never had to work for a woman’s attention, never had a woman tell him no. But Fawn isn’t the average woman and she isn’t easy to get in his clutches.

I loved the push and pull between these two. I loved seeing Garrett work so hard to get Fawn’s attention. Garrett is exactly what I’d expect him to be and more. Fawn is the perfect female lead for a man like him. She’s not what he assumes she is and it was amazing to see him realize that you can’t and shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. I cannot wait to see what’s next in this series.

Title: Sweet Spot
Author: Jessica Prince
Series: Redemption

Contemporary Romance, Small Town Romance, Friends to Lovers




Gage Langdon didn’t do relationships. After having his heart shattered years ago, he made a vow to never go down that road again. But when his past waltzes into his town, demanding his attention, he reacts without thinking and makes a very public display of kissing his best friend. Now Wynn is pretending to be his girlfriend to help him get back at his ex, and the feelings he’d sworn he turned off were starting to spark to life. 

After walking in on her boyfriend in bed with another woman, Wynn Klein made herself a promise. Never again. She was done with men. When she walked into that coffee shop one morning to meet her best friend, she never expected Gage would wrap her in his arms and plant a knee-quaking kiss on her in front of the whole town. The request he whispered in her ear after sealed their fate: Just go with it.

When Wynn agreed to be Gage’s fake girlfriend, it was only supposed to be temporary. But thanks to meddlesome friends, an over-eager mother-in-law to be, and a conniving granny, things go so much further than they were intended. 

The lines between reality and fiction are starting to blur, and Gage starts to see Wynn in a whole new light.

Now he just has to get her to that sweet spot where friends become lovers without freaking her out and sending her running for the hills.

Friends to lovers, fake dating, Jessica Prince story. Yes sir!! Sign me up for sure.
I loved the friendship they had but their romance. Oh Yeah!!
They were so cute and flirty you just knew they belonged together.
And then his ex shows up, wanting him back and he needs a quick get away.
Oh that was the perfect in because his feelings were changing.
I ABSOLUTELY loved watching it all play out.
I'm going to miss this great group of characters especially the ladies.

a series of interconnected standalone romances









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: Christmas Cupid by Ilsa Madden-Mills

 



Christmas Cupid by Ilsa Madden-Mills is now live! From #1 Amazon Bestselling Author Ilsa Madden-Mills comes a brand new enemies to lovers holiday novella (40,000 words) about finding love in unexpected places. Dear Sneaky Santa, I'd like to have a word about your sense of humor. Was it really necessary to stick me, a professional hockey player nursing an injury and avoiding the media, in an isolated cabin with a bratty, boot-designing princess who seems to have made it her mission to despise me? I mean, come on, what did I ever do to you? And let's talk about our first encounter. Was it your intention for her to barge in on me while I was enjoying a soak in the tub? It wasn't exactly my finest moment, and I'm sure she didn't appreciate the view of my massive body floundering around as I tried to grab a towel. Now, I'm stuck with her, thanks to a mutual acquaintance, in the middle of a snow blizzard, navigating through bear attacks, sketchy neighbors, and whole lot of tension. I had plans, Santa, plans to escape to Cabo and forget about the world, not to be trapped with a woman who thinks I'm unworthy of her time just because she can't stand hockey players. Oh, and speaking of our delightful Iris, she's stingier with her food than Scrooge was with his pennies! I'm not asking for a feast, but a guy's got to eat! And could you possibly turn her yippy dog into a reindeer or something? It would certainly add to the Christmas spirit and save my eardrums. I'm trying to rediscover the meaning of Christmas, and you throw me into this chaos? Is this some kind of test, or are you just having a jolly laugh up there in the North Pole? So here's my Christmas wish, Santa: sprinkle a bit of your magic and either get me out of here or be a Cupid and ignite a fiery, undeniable passion between us, because right now, this scenario is frostier than a snowman.

Mountain cabin-check, snowy mounds-check, hot guy-check, spunky woman-check. SUPER cute fur baby- double check!! Puck/Rob needs his own love story! Haha. But, I digress….Iris is headed to an “empty” cabin to recharge. Kyler is headed to the “same” empty cabin to rest and figure out his next step. What they both find is not an empty cabin. Now stuck there together during a blizzard, why could possibly happen? Not love!! I loved Iris and her grit and Kyler for all his aggravations. They are the cutest couple and great first holiday read for me!!

Yes yes yes another instalment of This man through our gorgeous Jesse Ward’s eyes. I can not get enough of him and this book had everything I expected and more plus left me wanting more for book 3.
Getting to see inside Jesse Wards mind is intense for sure. He is possessive, infuriating, caring alpha who knows exactly how to put you in your place.
Jesse is so messed up and will leave you hanging on a string. He made my heart beat so fast. I loved the craziness of it all and having this book 10 years after the first released was perfect timing.
Gimme more please……..fast.

Blog Tour: Christmas with an Alien by Tana Stone

 

All he wants for Christmas is a mate.

Christmas with an Alien, an all-new laugh-out-loud and steamy, sci-fi romcom from USA Today bestselling author, Tana Stone, is now available!

Caroline isn’t a Scrooge, but the weeks leading to Christmas are not her favorite. The personal shopping department where she works is insanely busy and the clients have crazy requests. Plus, this is her first holiday being single after a bad breakup. When her last appointment of the day is a gorgeous, blue-skinned alien, she isn’t too surprised. After all, everyone knows that aliens are real since a species of interstellar warriors revealed themselves and the fact that they’d been defending Earth for decades.

What does startle Caroline is that Griff isn’t looking for unique Christmas presents. He’s on Earth to find a mate.

Although she reluctantly agrees to help him, finding a bride for an alien isn’t as easy as it might seem, especially when word gets out that the hottie is on the market. Between the alien-obsessed women swiping right on his new dating profiles and the paparazzi dogging them, Griff is no closer to finding a bride. He is much closer to his personal shopper, though. If only she didn’t think loyal guys were as much of a fantasy as flying reindeer.

Can Griff melt the ice in Caroline’s heart and convince her that good things do come in big, blue packages?

Christmas with an Alien is a standalone, sweet and steamy, sci-fi, Christmas, he falls first, romantic comedy. It’s loosely connected to the Tribute Brides of the Drexian Warriors series, but it can be read on its own without having read any books in that series.

Griff

“How much longer until we land?” I glanced at the Drexian pilot in front of me and tried to relax my grip on my knees. I might have spent half of my life in space, but the ships I traversed the galaxy on were considerably larger than the transport that was currently entering the atmosphere of Earth. I was unaccustomed to the bumpy ride of smaller ships, and I was not enjoying the sensations.

“We’re almost there.” The dark-haired alien craned his neck around to give me a grin. “The jumps were the hard part.”

I nodded, doing my best not to think about the jumps through space that had shortened the trip from the Drexian space station. My stomach was still in my throat from being tugged through the fabric of space.

“I thought Valorians were great sky wanderers,” the Drexian copilot said, as he eyed me. “You don’t look so good back there.”

I doubted the alien knew what an ill Valorian looked like, since our skin was blue and rarely changed hues, even when we did have the urge to heave all over the pristine, black floor of a space vessel. “I am fine. I am just eager to arrive.”

“Shopping, right?”

I cut my gaze to the Drexian seated next to me who had asked the question. He’d seemed friendly when we’d boarded the transport on the station’s hangar bay, but I remembered that he was one of the Drexians who worked with the tribute bride program. Even now, he held a tablet in his hands as he scanned quickly through images of females.

“I don’t blame you.” He sighed without looking up. “This is the best time of year to shop on Earth.”

I put my hand in my pocket, touching the small device that contained the reason I was visiting the human world. “I am interested in procurement. I have a list.”

“I hope so, if you’re going to go shopping in New York City at Christmastime.” The copilot let out a low whistle. “From what I hear, the place can be a mad house.”

I blinked at the back of his head. A mad house? I did not wish to go to any place that contained the insane. “I do not want to visit mad houses.”

“If it’s your first time on Earth, you might need some help.” The Drexian next to me straightened as the transport shuddered and dropped below the clouds. “I’d be happy to play tour guide for you, but I have to meet with some new tribute bride candidates. For some reason, a large number of our applicants have requested Christmas weddings, which means I don’t have much time to finalize the selection process and return them to the station to be matched.”

Even though I wasn’t Drexian, I was familiar with their tribute bride program, where they matched human females to Drexian warriors in need of a mate, brought them to their holographically enhanced space station and put them in fantasy suites, and then treated to dream weddings in space. For decades, the Drexians had conducted the program with the permission of the Earth governments but not with the knowledge of the public, but after the program was made public—called the Reveal—Earth had adapted to the knowledge and females had been clamoring to be chosen for the program. The Drexians success with the tribute brides was the reason I was on my way to Earth.

“Do not worry about me,” I said. “I am sure I will adapt to Earth.”

His dark brow lifted. “You say that because you’ve never been to New York the week before Christmas.”

“What is a Christmas?”


REVIEW
Reviewer: Ronnie
Rating: 4 Groupie Stars
Well, I have to admit this was an enjoyable story. The characters were well-written and it was easy to imagine yourself in this situation. Aliens coming to Earth, to meet their mate does have a nice ring to it. Although it seems as if they could be better informed about Earth Culture. I did enjoy the relationship between the two main characters. Caroline and Griff are the cutest couple and I love the whole part with the Drag Queens, it added a nice element of fun.
If you love a story with a HEA and the wonder and magic of Christmas then this is the story for you. I read it in one day and enjoyed it thoroughly! Enjoy the read!

REVIEW
Reviewer: Kim
Rating: 4.5 Groupie Stars

I loved reading a new (ish) book by Emma Scott as been ages since I’ve had a new book from her.
This book was more than I expected. It was so much more of a love story. It was heartfelt and beautiful.
The characters were well written and I love the Beauty and Beast theme of the story.  The characters were believable and unique.
There is nothing I did not like about this book. Love this author!!
