RELEASE BLITZ: Boom by Sabrina Stark




RELEASE BLITZ
Title: Boom
Author: Sabrina Stark
Genre: Enemies-to-Lovers Romantic Comedy
Release Date: June 25, 2020
 
BLURB 

New from a USA Today Bestseller: One crumbling house. One exploded truck. And two people who think they can't stand each other.

Arden Weathers. She's a girl on a mission, and that mission most certainly doesn't involve Brody Blastoviak, the hometown hottie who made her college prospects go boom, and not in a good way, six years ago.

Brody Blastoviak. He knows better than to stick his you-know-what into Crazy. So why is he losing his cookies over Arden Weathers, the uptight chemistry partner who "accidentally" torched his truck back in high school?

Now, older and wiser, these former classmates are supposedly on the same team – working to restore a crumbling beach house that both of them want to claim as their own. Too bad for Arden, Brody holds not just the deed, but all of the cards and clout, too.

She's a broke college graduate while Brody is not only hotter than ever, but obnoxiously rich and famous, thanks to Blast Tools, a rags-to-riches brotherly venture. It's all so stupidly unfair, especially when Arden makes an appalling discovery. Turns out, she's not nearly as immune to Brody's charms as she thought.

And Brody? Let's just say, this tool-toting billionaire is reluctantly learning that the girl of his nightmares just might be the girl of his dreams.

***This enemies-to-lovers new adult romance is a fun, full-length standalone billionaire romantic comedy with a guaranteed happily-ever-after!***

Boom is a fun and slightly addictive enemies to lovers story and a great intro for me to author Sabrina Stark. Arden is an independent and stubborn woman.  After years of being away at college she returns home to negotiate with her cousin to buy her grandparents house. Unfortunately the house had been sold out from under her and she comes face to face with the new owner, literally a Blast from her past. 

Brody is Arden's high school enemy. Now, he is gorgeous and successful and quite honestly comes across as a bit of a jerk on the surface. The house was purchased to be featured on his family's  fixer upper show.  The storyline surrounds the restoration of the house and ultimately the future owner of the house is the ripping point of the relationship that Arden and Brody fall into.  

I devoured this book all in one sitting.  There were some situations I just rolled my eyes at the immaturity between the h/h however if you think about how mature one is in their early 20s it's actually a pretty accurate depiction of the age group.  (Been there, done that, have the tshirt.) The book was well written and it had the perfect flow and even set up the next book in the series, landing Blast on my TBR list.  

I would definitely recommend Boom and I will be checking out more of Ms. Stark's novels. 

 

EXCERPT
 
To my infinite horror, I was staring into the hard gaze of Broderick Blastoviak – aka Brody Blast, a guy I'd known back in high school.
 
We had a history, and it wasn't terrific.
 
In school, he'd been a total trouble-maker through-and-through. Cocky. Obnoxiously brilliant. And too dangerous by half.
 
Unlike me, he never, ever followed the rules – and yet, he never seemed to pay for it.
 
That dickweed had cost me a full-ride scholarship. He was the reason I'd been working two jobs to pay for college, even while taking on far too many student loans.
 
In a roundabout way, this also meant that he was the reason I hadn't been able to purchase this house on my own, back when I'd had the chance three years ago.
 
I freaking hated him.
 
And boy, did he hate me, too.
 
Even if I hadn't known this already, the look in his eyes would've been proof enough.

EXCERPT

To my infinite horror, I was staring into the hard gaze of Broderick Blastoviak – aka Brody Blast, a guy I'd known back in high school.

We had a history, and it wasn't terrific.

In school, he'd been a total trouble-maker through-and-through. Cocky. Obnoxiously brilliant. And too dangerous by half.

Unlike me, he never, ever followed the rules – and yet, he never seemed to pay for it.

That dickweed had cost me a full-ride scholarship. He was the reason I'd been working two jobs to pay for college, even while taking on far too many student loans.

In a roundabout way, this also meant that he was the reason I hadn't been able to purchase this house on my own, back when I'd had the chance three years ago.

I freaking hated him.

And boy, did he hate me, too.

Even if I hadn't known this already, the look in his eyes would've been proof enough.

I sputtered, "What are you doing here?"

He gave me a look. "You mean in my house?"

"Oh come on!" I said. "It can't be your house. There's no furniture. And besides, why would you want to live here? Don't you have houses all over the place already?"

This wasn't as far-fetched as you'd think. Brilliant or not, Brody hadn't gone to college. Instead, he'd founded a tool-and-die company with his two older brothers and then proceeded to take the market by storm.

These days, Blast Tools – that was the name of their company – was famously successful, just like the company's three founders.

And I meant "famous" quite literally.

A few years ago, by some miracle, the brothers had gotten themselves a weekly cable show on the Home Network, where they used their own tools to remodel older homes or sometimes build new ones.

And just for the record, they looked very good doing it.

Damn it.

Oh these Bailey siblings! They make me laugh, the make me cry and Miss Juno made me mad!!
I have been intrigued by Juno and Colto all through the series and finally we get their story.
Best friends that everyone could see had feelings for each other. Everyone knew they belonged together. Except Juno the Matchmaker.
BUT when push came to shove she revealed her feeling she spilled them out and Colton drank them in with a sigh of relief.
Then she made me mad, she could have it ALL but her stubborn couldn't let that final wall fall, she couldn't lat the last fear go and she nearly ruined everything!!
No more on that you have to read it. OMG!!! We get a peek at the final 2 siblings stories coming and I CANNOT WAIT!!

RELEASE BLAST: SOMETHIN' ABOUT THAT BOY by Lani Lynn Vale

Release Date: June 23

Banner Spurlock knew the moment that he walked into Kilgore High School and saw Perry Street that life was about to get interesting.


Forced to move due to a problem at home, a problem in the form of his ex-best friend hating him for something that Banner’s father did, Banner doesn’t think very much could improve in his life.

He left his status as king of Benton High School behind and moved to a new school where not only would he have to try out for a new football team and prove himself, but he’d also have to find a place for himself in the hierarchy.

Only, the moment that he arrives, he knows that finding a place for himself won’t be too hard. Especially when his reputation follows him all the way to Kilgore, Texas.

***
Perry Street hates school. She hates her peers—most of them anyway—and she hates her classes. All she wants to do is finish her senior year, graduate, and find a place that will give her a full scholarship so that she doesn’t have to be stuck here forever.

That’s her goal, anyway.

Then she walks into first period, on her first day of her senior year, and sits down. Seconds later, he walks in and changes every single plan she’s ever made.

It isn’t long before Perry starts to fall for the bad boy who doesn’t care who he does and doesn’t impress. The boy makes her heart flutter. The boy makes her want things that she’s never wanted before. Not ever.

The boy brings trouble with him that nearly kills her.

Another great story from Lani Lynn! 
A bit strange to read a standalone from the queen of interconnecting series. But I devoured just the same as it was still connected to past characters.
Young love is not a new story from this author but this time we read it in real time not past story, flashbacks. These are high school kids but this is not YA she still added her heat to the story.
A story of typical high school issues that eventually lead to big adult decisions. I loved watching these characters grow and develop and fall in love.
I also love that we learn a new series will spinoff from this giving a character I am very curious about a book. I want to know his story!

RELEASE BLAST: HARD PASS by Sara Ney

Release Date: June 16

“Hard Pass.”
That’s what the last girl I slept with said when she got her first sober glimpse of me. She laughed, walked out of my penthouse—and I never saw her again. It doesn’t matter that I’m a rich, professional athlete; what mattered was my face. 


Beauty might only be skin deep for some—but I know better.

“Pay Up.” 
That’s what the last girl I spoke to said over the phone when I made her an offer she couldn’t refuse. Desperate to sell a set of rare baseball cards, she’s clever and entertaining. I’m instantly smitten, but nowhere ready to reveal myself. Thank god she has no idea who I am—or what I look like. 

I’m a professional athlete--how hard can playing the love game be?

Hard pass is the first book in the new Trophy boyfriends series by Sara Ney. 
I've always loved Sara Ney books so was excited to read this new book. I love a sports romance and what I loved most about this book is that is was a different kind of sports romance to what I'm used to. 
Noah was the perfect character. He was very intriguing and grumpy. He's a professional baseball player but since the spot light went on him he's been continuously told he's not good looking enough. This seriously upsets him and makes him think no one will ever love him. 
Then he meets Miranda and the chemistry between them and very strong but not instant love. This builds over time. There's a good amount of banter/texting between them which is funny and kept me interested. 
This was a cute fun story that I enjoyed in one sitting.

Anna McAlister needs a new life. But that doesn’t mean she needs a new man. After leaving her fiancé and Chicago behind, she promises herself no dating until she finds what she’s looking for. But meeting one seriously hot and determined detective has her questioning herself.

Calvin Miller is that detective, and he’s been burned by women in the past. It’s easy for him to sleep alone and focus on his work, but the moment he lays eyes on Anna, he starts imagining sexy nights with her wrapped in his sheets. Maybe it’s time to get back out there.

But just as the attraction between them begins to sizzle, Anna’s past shows up to create trouble. And to make matters worse, a string of murders forces Calvin to juggle his new relationship and his career. His worst fear? That the two are somehow connected.

Can they find love together, or will her past and his duty sink their hopes?

At this point Aurora could write absolutely anything and I would read it and love every second. Hooking Him was no different. 

Calvin is such an alpha hottie! I absolutely loved him from the moment he pulled over Anna and the Golden Girls (I love Edie) I loved his dog Bane. 
His chemistry with Anna leapt off the pages and had me swooning. 
I loved Anna, she wanted something different from her life, and gave up what she knew to start over somewhere else. 
I absolutely loved seeing Chrissie and Gaston (Anna works at the Sweet Spot)
This was such a great book; great main characters, great side characters, swoony moment, laugh out loud situations, of course hot sexy time, and great storytelling.
