Release Blitz: The Surrogate by Penelope Ward

 




Title: The Surrogate
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Age Gap/Widower/Found Family
Forbidden/Enemies to Friends to Lovers
Release Date: February 26, 2024


BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE novel…

ABBY:
I’m falling for the father of the baby I’m carrying.
The problem is: it’s not my baby.
And the broody widower is not looking for a long-term partner.
As a surrogate, the deal was that I’d only be in England long enough to give birth.
At first, the man seemed as pretentious as his name: Sigmund Benedictus.
He and I butted heads.
Sig challenged my intentions, accused me of just wanting to do this for the money.
Gradually, he learned to trust me.
He even became protective.
Over time, our heated animosity turned into fiery chemistry.
I was falling in love with him.
But my time here had a limit.
I needed to protect my heart from the devastatingly gorgeous older man who’d end up breaking it.
SIG:
When my in-laws told me they wanted to use my dead wife’s eggs to conceive a grandchild, I wasn’t immediately on board.
They swore that on her deathbed Britney told them it was what she wanted—but only if I fathered the baby. Her parents insisted they would be the ones to raise it.
Against my better judgment, I agreed.
I vowed to keep my heart out of it, though.
I’d continue to pretend it wasn’t happening and live the empty, single life I’d become accustomed to the past five years since Britney died.
And despite the fact that a certain younger American named Abby Knickerbocker had awakened things inside me that I thought were long dead…
I most certainly wouldn’t fall in love with the surrogate.

Since the day he was dropped on our doorstep, I’ve wanted him out of my life. He’s a black stain on my memory and the one who put my father away. Because of him, I’m flipping burgers instead of lying on beaches. To say he ruined my life would be an understatement. Ten years later, I still can’t stand the guy, but even I can admit he’s sexy beyond belief. I won’t fall for his lusty looks and boyish charms. There’s nothing he can say or do to me to make me believe he’s anything but a lying playboy. Or is there?

Tabatha Vargo is BAAACCKK!!! I was so excited to be able to review this book. I have loved this author since the BUUUGIINNING!! I was so hoping that she would come back with a new book. Let me tell you, she DID NOT disappoint. This might be one of her best books ever!!  I loved the inner monologue with the characters and how the story laid out. Tori and Koah were each their own person and I loved how their relationshop developed and grew from childhood to now. Both had past hurts and it was never easy. I loved Koah and the banter with the other guys, it just made it more real. I LOVE Tori!! She is such a badass and wanted the best for her little sister and was dedicated to obtaining that. READ THIS BOOK!!

Reviewer: Tammi
Rating: 4.5 Groupie Stars

So Good!
I love Forbidden this is student/teacher.
I love enemies to lovers this one is old rivalry between families. 
I love fake relationships this one is an engagement after a sex tape release.
The book starts right off super steamy and follows with a story I couldn't put down.
Our hero is total alpha until he may lose the girl he realizes he loves. I love seeing walls come down and feelings showing through.
I can't wait for the next one so curious about her friends secret

The. Heat Blurb: Momma always told me that my sins would find me. I just didn’t think it would happen in a biker bar with my first crush bursting through the doors with his gun pointed at me. Well, not technically at me, but at my boyfriend- also known as my current sin. He was the thing I hoped the good Lord didn’t tell momma about in one of her dreams. Guess it didn’t matter anyway. I was caught and in a bigger mess than I could have imagined. Micah Abe hadn’t laid eyes on Dolly Dixon, his younger sister’s best friend, in years, but her eyes were the kind you didn’t forget. Even if she’d grown into a woman with a body made for sin, he had recognized that unique shade of amber the moment she had locked her gaze on him. Damn shame he wouldn’t get a taste of her. His sister would cut off his favorite body part if he even considered it. Besides, he was over clingy women, and the way Dolly was holding on to his enemy like she wanted to wrap her legs around him meant she was the needy type. Problem was he had to save her from herself. Clearly, Dolly was still clueless about life. That much hadn’t changed about her. He’d come here to get back what had been taken from him five years ago, but it looked like he’d be saving Snow White in the process. 

REVIEW
Reviewer: Ebbie
Rating: 4.5 Groupie Stars

Bombshell is a spinoff of the Smoke series and is one heck of a read. I loved the Smoke series and Bombshell was a great start for a new series. I loved everything about it from start to finish. The characters are amazing and I loved the crossover characters from the Smoke series. I loved Dolly and Micah so much. I loved the way he protected her from the get go. Dolly was a great female lead; she is kind and caring. This was a quick read for me and I literally couldn’t put it down. I was so wrapped up in the characters and storyline that I had to get to the last page to see how it ended. I cannot wait for the next book in this series.

Great story!!
I wanted this one we saw a Tease in the other books and I was intrigued. 
Hayley Faiman did not disappoint. 
Angst, violence, steam and finally a perfect love.
Our hero frustrated the crap out me but this author tends to that. Her men are jerks thar you fall hard for!
I loved our heroine she never seemed to come out on top BUT she finally did!!
Great epilogue 20 years later, that was fun!

Release Blitz: Unharmed by A.K. Evans

 




Title: Unharmed
Series: Harper Security Ops #13
Author: A.K. Evans
Genre: Military Romantic Suspense
Tropes: Single Dad/Second Chance/Love After Loss
Release Date: February 6, 2024


BLURB

Banks Huntington has always been a family man. After his wife’s tragic death, he’s holding on tighter to the only thing he’s got left. His son.

Lamise Kelly walks into Harper Security Ops desperately hoping for a job. Working in a place filled with men who could see she remains unharmed is the perfect solution to all of her problems. Only, they’re not hiring.

For the first time in months, something stirs in Banks’ chest at the sight of Lamise. He wants to deny it, but he can’t. Refusing to let her walk away, Banks offers her a different kind of job.

Becoming a nanny wasn’t what she’d had in mind, but Lamise accepts the opportunity.

Following unimaginable losses, the pair attempt to get their lives back on track. But it isn’t long before they find themselves forming an unexpected bond.

Just as things heat up between them, a part of Lamise’s past she believed was gone forever returns.

Banks never expected a second chance. If he wants a shot at forever with Lamise, he’ll have no choice but to confront her past.




REVIEW
Reviewer: Christi
Rating: 3.75 Groupie Stars

Lamise recently lost her fiancé and dog in a bizarre  and tragic way. After moving and attempting to start fresh she discovers some new information about her fiancé's death.  Prompted by this discovery, she adjusts her job search to include Harper Security, where she meets Banks. 

Banks has a six month old son and as a recent widower, is looking for a nanny to stay with his son while he is working. Lamise steps into the role and quickly builds a relationship with father and son.  

This story did have a bit of heartbreak and showed the healing journey both Lamise and Banks are on, separately and together. This is not the spiciest book of this series and it definitely has a different flow. The suspense factor was a little lost for me in this book. It does pickup a bit toward the end, however it almost feels like it was an 'oh, snap - I forgot' and it was rushed in at the end.  

While still a decent read, Unharmed didn't quite hit the mark for me based on what i have come to expect from this series. I did still enjoy the characters though.

Release Blitz: Loved Enough by Kelly Elliott

 




Title: Loved Enough
Series: Love in Montana #5
Author: Kelly Elliott
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Friends to Lovers/Small Town
Western Romance
Release Date: February 6, 2024


BLURB

Even though they’d never dated, Lily Shaw always just assumed she’d eventually end up with Ben, the boy who’s been her bestie since they were toddlers. So she’s understandably shocked to learn he’s getting married—and having a child with his fiancée. Shocked…but not terribly upset. The truth is, she's been feeling butterflies every time she’s near a particular horse trainer on her parents’ ranch. Unfortunately, though attracted to Lily, Maverick’s decided he has nothing to offer her beyond a good time.

The Shaws are all about family, something Maverick Prescott admires. But despite his boss treating him like another son, and Maverick wanting the man’s daughter in the worst way, how can he start something he doesn’t think he can finish? He has nothing to offer Lily, not even his own heritage. Just a past filled with so much pain, he decided a long time ago he’s best off spending his life alone, tending to the rescue horses who are just as damaged as Maverick.

Lily, however, is a typical Shaw—stubborn as the day is long. Getting into Maverick’s bed is the easy part; getting into his heart is the real challenge. But maybe if he feels loved enough, he’ll be willing to give them a chance.





REVIEW
Reviewer: Rebecca
Rating: 4 Groupie Stars

Anybody else looking to go to Montana after this book?! Little Lily Shaw is all grown up and after figuring out the love of her life as a child was meant for someone, Lily does the one thing a woman can do…find her one and only. Now, if he would just cooperate! Maverick likes Lily, a lot, but he doesn’t come from the same great family she does. He can’t afford to mess this up. Lily has other ideas! Another win by Kelly Elliott! Heartbreaking, funny, and as always a page turner!

Release Blitz: Difficult by R.L. Mathewson

 




Title: Difficult
Series: Neighbor From Hell Chronicles #2
Author: R.L. Mathewson
Genre: Contemporary YA Romance
Tropes: Coming of Age/High School
Friends to Lovers
Release Date: February 5, 2024


BLURB

Surviving high school was going to be hard enough, but surviving telling the one girl that he couldn’t live without how he felt was going to be one of the most difficult things that Sebastian Bradford was ever going to do.

From New York Times and USA Today’s bestselling author R.L. Mathewson comes the second novel in the Neighbor from Hell Chronicles that will bring it all back, leaving you unable to help but smile as you remember the first time that you fell in love.

For years, Sebastian has been lying to himself, doing whatever it took to convince himself that Mikey was just his best friend and the pain in the ass that he couldn’t stop thinking about and now…

He would do absolutely anything to stop screwing this up, but that probably wasn’t going to happen, not with his brother determined to help him. With every soul-crushing piece of advice his brother threw his way, Sebastian found himself thinking about everything that he had to lose if Mikey didn’t feel the same way and wondered if he was about to make the biggest mistake of his life.

The glaring was definitely starting to concern her, but Mikey had bigger problems to worry about than her best friend suddenly acting weird around her, like the teenage girl and her minions going out of their way to make her life a living hell. She couldn’t risk losing her scholarship, not when it meant that she would never be able to do the one thing that she loved more than anything again.





REVIEW
Reviewer: Rebecca
Rating: 4 Groupie Stars

The Bradfords are back! I was so excited to back in the neighborhood and in this world! Sebastian and Mikey are almost grown but still have a lot of growing to do. If they can get out of their way they just might have something that’s more than just friends..It’s funny and full of the antics you would expect! It was great getting a glimpse into a few others’ lives as well but no spoilers!!
