RELEASE BLITZ: THE INVITATION by Vi Keeland

Title: The Invitation

Author: Vi Keeland

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Release Date: January 18, 2021

BLURB

The first time I met Hudson Rothschild was at a wedding. I’d received an unexpected invitation to one of the swankiest venues in the city.

Hudson was a groomsman and quite possibly the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on. He asked me to dance, and our chemistry was off the charts.

I knew it wasn’t a good idea to get involved with him, considering the wedding I was at. But our connection was intense, and I was having a great time.

Though the fun came to a screeching halt when Hudson figured out I wasn’t who I’d said I was. You see, that unexpected invitation I received? Well, it hadn’t actually been addressed to me—it was sent to my ex-roommate who’d bounced a check for two months’ rent and moved out in the middle of the night. I figured she owed me an expensive night out, but I guess, technically, I was crashing the wedding.

Once caught, I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. As I bolted for the door, I might’ve plucked a few bottles of expensive champagne off the tables I passed, all while the gorgeous, angry groomsman was hot on my tail.

Outside, I jumped into a taxi. My heart ricocheted against my ribs as we drove down the block—but at least I’d escaped unscathed.

Or so I thought.

Until I realized I’d left my cell phone behind at the table.

Take one guess who found it?

This is the crazy story of how Hudson Rothschild and I met. But trust me, it’s only the tip of the iceberg.

I always love a VI keeland book that makes me swoon but also very well written.

This story was very similar to a Cinderella story. It was a very modern take but had a good adult storyline to it and that had a lot of depth too.

It was a very unique story which will put a big smile on your face and Also fill your heart with love of a story but also love of great characters. Stella and Hudson were just perfect. I loved how they first met. It was so cute. They had a great connections had very intense sexual chemistry too.

Hudson had me swooning and my heart dancing. He's my favourite hero of all the author's books.

This story will take your heart in a ride you won't forget in a hurry.

Author: Carrie Aarons

Walker Callahan has loved from afar for as long as he can remember.

The golden boy of the Callahan baseball dynasty, he’s the only player to ever secure a top spot on a roster controlled by his own flesh and blood. The pressure, duty and plans laid out for him since birth loom large, causing things like love and a family to fall by the wayside.

Or maybe that’s because the woman he loves is already married with children.

When they met, she was already promised to someone else. For over six years, he resigned himself to being her friend. Until one night, when her marriage and the ugly secrets it keeps unravels for the world to see. She’s burned, scared and needs someone who will put her needs above everything else.

Can Walker risk his own future and show her how to trust again? Or will the feelings he’s kept hidden for years throw him out of the game before he can even attempt to play?

Hannah Giraldi never wants to fall in love again.

All it brings is pain, misery and her life falling to shambles. After a very public scandal, her abusive husband takes everything, leaving her to raise two daughters on nothing but charity from others, a hope, and a prayer.

New to the job market, single motherhood, and with two court cases on her plate, the last thing she needs are the butterflies that Walker ignites in her stomach every time he comes around. But with his soothing words, supportive shoulder to lean on, and undeniable gorgeousness, he’s pretty hard to ignore.

Just when it feels like she might be standing on her own two feet, the world comes crumbling down around her. And the man she’s finally allowed into her heart abandons her, once again leaving her to pick up the pieces.

Is there a way to heal all of the broken parts, or will Hannah go down swinging while attempting one more shot at a happily ever after?

Reviewer: Christi

Rating: 4 Stars

Stealing Home is the second book in the Callahan Family series and tells the story of Hannah and Walker. Technically it can be read as a standalone, however I believe the experience is enhanced with knowledge of book 1.

I really enjoyed reading Warning Track (five star read for me) so I was excited to read about Walker in Stealing Home. Please be aware -This book deals with physical and mental abuse as well as the legal system. It also touches on substance abuse and family dynamics - all of which are pretty heavy. I think it was handled relatively well.

I really liked the way Carrie Aarons handled the tone of the book. The story was written with compassion and felt fairly well researched. I was happy to see Walker and Hannah find their way to each other and I can't wait for next book in the Callahan Family series.

Another great book from Lauren Blakely. A fantastic first book from Joe Arden.
A sweet story with a double forbidden element. Coworkers (he has had a bad experience) and bosses little sister. Oh boy double whammy! But they have and off the charts connection and chemistry galore.
They bond over their dogs does it get any sweeter then that? Especially when they both have adorable pups.
Looks to be a start to a new group of friends and I cannot wait for more. I really like these guys!!

Author: Tessa Teevan

Genre: Contemporary Romance/Romantic Suspense

Release Date: January 21, 2021

BLURB

The line between savior and villain draws extraordinarily thin.

Three years after her parents' unsolved murders, Gabriella Latham faces the most critical decision of her life—choosing between two exceptionally different men. Who can she unequivocally trust? Who does she ultimately love?

Adrian Morningstar was once a dream come true. No one had ever loved her more, and for the first time, in longer than she could remember, she was no longer alone. He was the Prince Charming to her Cinderella until suddenly he became the Beast with whom she desperately wished to escape.

He changed everything.

When undercover agent Rafe Matthews infiltrated Morningstar's life, he hadn't planned on infiltrating Gabriella's heart. Nothing could get in the way of exposing Adrian's treachery. Except just as he was about to enact his plan, it derailed faster than a runaway freight train by falling for the boss's woman.

She changed everything.

Now her future hangs in the balance. One man seeks her submission; the other craves her salvation. Both vow to love her with an all-consuming passion. And Gabriella continues to discover nothing is quite as it seems.

As time threatens to run out, Gabriella and Rafe embark on a race to uncover Adrian and her parents' truth. When all is revealed, will it finally set them free or burn everything to the ground?

Secrets revealed. Truth uncovered. Lives and hearts betrayed.

In the stunning conclusion of Gabriella's quest to expose the killer, who will pay the ultimate price? And who will be left to rise from the ashes?

Instigation
5 stars
WOW! This book was not at all what I expected. I have read loved quite a few books from this author and I love her sweet light touching stories. This one was not that kind of story. It was intense, it was riveting and I could not put it down!! I started and finished on a cold Sunday. What started as a fairytale romance soon turned to a darkish, mystery story. I LOVED it!
I was late to the game on this one but kinda glad because I don't have to wait for the next one. After that ending I don't know if I could have survived the wait.
On to Escalation!!

Escalation
4.5 stars
OMG!! HOLY CRAP!! WHAT A FREAKING ENDING!!! Okay got that out of my system.
This one picks up right where the last one left us hanging. (Thank Goodness). This time we get to watch the steamy connection between Brie and Rafe bloom into love. BUT we still have those questions and mysteries to figure and they become super sleuths. Secrets are unveiled and some questions are answered. But we get more mysteries people aren't who they seem, past connections are revealed. This book had me glued to my Kindle!
I am reading wide eyed wondering what the does all this mean and BAM!! I am hit with another OMG! ending.
So glad I am late at reading these because I don't have to wait for wait for the next one.

Culmination
5 stars
What a perfect ending to a fantastic trilogy. I devoured all 3 books in 3 days , I couldn't put them down. When I wasn't reading I was thinking about the story. SO FREAKING GOOD!!!
It has everything Romance, Suspense, and a Mystery to solve. Our couple fights multiple battles, uncovers many secrets and through it all they fall in love. The twists and turns kept me reading wide eyed.
Simply Amazing!! I am just blown away.
And another character has a book coming and looks to be GOOD!!!

Thank

EXCERPT

That day in the coffee shop never should have happened. Coming close to Gabriella, meeting her in person for the first time. None of it had been part of the plan. She had not been part of the plan. I was only supposed to watch from afar, my eyes the only part of me with permission to seek her out. It wasn’t enough. Everything about her had drawn me in like a moth to the brightest flame.

It’d been that way for months, ever since I’d first laid eyes on her at her parents’ funeral. For the first time in my life, I felt empathy. I felt someone else’s pain. It was foreign, unfamiliar, and I knew I’d have to keep my distance or I could not be held responsible for my actions.

It worked.

Until it didn’t.

I’d never ventured into the coffee shop before that day. The Daily Grind. Puns in company names made my teeth hurt, and on principle, I wouldn’t patron such a place. Instead, I’d park across the street, watching her through the window. She came to this same spot every day on her lunch break from her menial job. Always alone. No one ever approached her, a surprise in the beginning.

After all, with her chestnut hair, delicate and fair skin, and big, rounded chocolate eyes, Gabriella Latham turned heads.

It only took a day or so for me to find my answer: The woman made herself unapproachable. As if it were a ritual, she always claimed a corner table, facing the window and away from all other customers. She kept her head buried in her computer, headphones typically in each ear, her pretty head bobbing to whatever music she enjoyed. And she didn’t remove the headphones until she was in her car. The only person she ever spoke to was the barista when placing her order.

Day after day, I watched. I waited. And with each day that passed, the more I longed to hear her voice. See her eyes up close. Run my fingers along smooth, pale skin.

Until the day I could take it no longer. I couldn’t merely watch. I needed to be an active participant in the game she had no idea we were playing.

SYNOPSIS

I spilled a cup of coffee on the President of Acquisitions.
He deserved it.

Not the brightest idea, but I’d had a bad day, and now he’s getting back at me.

For nine weeks I’m to be his assistant, and there’s nothing I can do about it.
It’s punishment.

Every moment we’re near each other it’s a constant battle of wills, but I refuse to go down.

If only he wasn’t so good looking.

If only my fantasies didn’t invade our arguments.

Everything is off the cuff, including him pinning me to the wall.

Now he wants something else from me.
A date.

There’s just one problem--he doesn’t know I have a child.

Sweet, fun, emotional this one hit all my favorite romance buttons. And an office romance to boot they give off forbidden vibes because you know they shouldn't but oh it's so good when they do.

Thane was a bit of an a$$hole but I LOVE that in a hero. He made me swoon at times!
Roe was fiesty I just loved her. But that sweet little Kinsey, she stole my heart!
I always love books from this author. I get sucked in and just can't put them down.
Can't wait to see what's next from KI Lynn she is definitely one of my favorites.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

K.I. Lynn is the USA Today Bestselling Author from The Bend Anthology and the Amazon Bestselling Series, Breach. She spent her life in the arts, everything from music to painting and ceramics, then to writing. Characters have always run around in her head, acting out their stories, but it wasn’t until later in life she would put them to pen. It would turn out to be the one thing she was really passionate about.

Since she began posting stories online, she’s garnered acclaim for her diverse stories and hard hitting writing style. Two stories and characters are never the same, her brain moving through different ideas faster than she can write them down as it also plots its quest for world domination…or cheese. Whichever is easier to obtain… Usually it’s cheese.
