REVIEW

Can you say anger management!
Our hero definitely needed it. Not that he didn't have a right to be angry and hurt.
(Our couple have a past together that did not end pretty.)
The Problem was his short fuse and letting things fester by not talking.
Our heroine was WRONG in the past but not by fault of her own.
When all is said in done this was a great second chance story. Our couple battled through and found the love they once had but now it is a mature beautiful love.

Release Blitz: A Little Naughty by Tia Louise

 

A Little Naughty by Tia Louise is now live!

 I wasn’t planning to propose to Raif Jones, the bad boy from the wrong side of town. The one with the tattooed muscles, naughty blue eyes, and dimpled, James-Dean grin. It all started with a series of bad decisions. First was flirting with a dangerous criminal to rescue a little girl I didn’t even know. Second was throwing a massive, masked gala in my small-town hideout (complete with drag queens) and not expecting to draw attention… Then Raif rode in on a motorcycle and melted my undies (and my heart), saying he wouldn’t let anybody hurt me. Of course, I asked him to marry me. Imagine my surprise when he said yes. We’re a little naughty and a lot hot, and the perks of being married are very… perky. They’re perky in the shower, on the kitchen table, against the front door… Until Bad Decision #1 tracks me down (thanks to Bad Decision #2), and my outlaw husband turns Alpha Protector, risking everything to keep us safe. It’s just a marriage of convenience. It’s supposed to have an end date. But when the dust settles, walking away from Raif Jones could be the worst decision I’ve ever made. (A LITTLE NAUGHTY is a small-town, marriage of convenience romance with single-mom vibes, a protective hero, no third-act breakup, and light suspense. No cheating. No cliffhanger.)

REVIEW

Reviewer: Tammi

Rating:  5 Groupie Stars

Loved this story SO MUCH!!
Our hero was a bad boy or so everyone in town labeled him. EXCEPT our heroine. She saw the good in him.
The story that followed was everything I love in a romance.
Yes I enjoyed the steamy love story but my favorite parts were the interactions with a precious little girl.
The love they have for each other made me smile.
The little family they created after hard circumstances melted my heart.
Then it changed and it fell apart my heart broke and I cried paragraph after paragraph tears rolled down my face.
But Thank goodness this is a Tia Louise book because she gave me a wonderful epilogue that made everything PERFECT!

Release Blitz: If You Hate Me by Helena Hunting

 

If You Hate Me by Helena Hunting Release date: March 7th Cover Designer: Hang Le https://www.instagram.com/byhangle/ Artwork by Rosie’s Fables https://www.instagram.com/rosiesfables/ 

 A brand new standalone hate-to-love, brother's best friend hockey romance. My new roommates are two pro hockey players. First, my manwhore older brother, and second, his seriously hot best friend (who I seriously hate). This was a last resort. No one should be sleeping on a futon that smells like Cheetos and ball sweat. But here I am, trying to get my life together. Tristan Stiles is the bane of my existence. He never wears a shirt. We can’t seem to stop fighting. He’s an arrogant playboy with a filthy reputation. Sure, I had a crush on him when I was fourteen, but that was a long time ago. I know better than to trust him. I just need to survive long enough to find a new job and get a new place. And not accidentally let Tristan rail me into next week. 


REVIEW
Reviewer: Christi
Rating: 5 Groupie Stars
Well, that was a great first book from a new-to-me author! I now understand why I see so many social media posts about Helena Hunting's books.  This book had me laughing out loud and even gave me a bit of a gut punch at one point, so well-deserved 5 stars from me. 

Hunting definitely hit all of my fave aspects of the enemies to lovers, brother's best friend, forbidden romance, and sports romance tropes.  And as an added bonus, Rix/Bea and Tristan are explosive together (in one way or another). They are either arguing or adding to the explicit, and often fairly dirty, sex scenes and both are entertaining to read.

I love the relationship depth, both between the MCs but also the secondary characters.  I feel that always adds to the story and makes me crave more. This is a well-written and entertaining story and I can't wait to read more of H. Hunting's work.

Review Tour: 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.
