REVIEW BLAST: The Match by Layla Hagan

 

THE MATCH

Layla Hagen

Release Date: May 30

Available in Kindle Unlimited

The LeBlanc family business is famous in New Orleans and as CEO, I pride myself on protecting our legacy. Unfortunately, we have our fair share of enemies, the main culprits -- the Deveraux brothers. They tried to steal from us and we ran them out of town. I never thought I’d hear their name again, but I was wrong.

Benevolent contributions are important to us, so when I find a ranch on the Bayou that provides therapy with horses, I’m ready to put my money down — then I find out I’m not the only one.
When I meet the ranch’s owners, Grace Deveraux is there which instantly pisses me off.
—She says she’s interested in an investment.
—I say, she’s only interested in boosting her socialite profile and clearing up her family name. I mean, she came here dressed in a tight skirt and high heels.

But I’m wrong again and soon learn how badly I misjudged her. After a bitter divorce, Grace had firsthand knowledge working with animals and how healing they can be.
When a storm traps us both at the ranch, we share a small cabin. I’m a gentleman and sleep on the couch. But my very best intentions go up in smoke, as neither of us can stay away from each other.
The next day, we have to face reality: we're still rivals; we both want the ranch…
The twist? I want Grace too.

I love a good enemies to lovers story so I was ecstatic for Zachary LeBlanc and Grace Deveraux’s story unfold!! 

This romance was captivating and I loved every minute! I loved that for a change in this troupe it was Zachary who fell first.

This one ticked all of my wants and I can’t wait for more from this family!!!

REVIEW BLITZ: American Beauty by Georgia Cates

 

Title: American Beauty

A Beauty Series Novel

Trilogy: Alex and Magnolia #2

Author: Georgia Cates

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Billionaire Romance/Arranged Relationship

Damaged Alpha & Heroine/Long Distance Relationship

Release Date: May 27, 2025

BLURB

True love stories never end. But they can be interrupted.

Magnolia Steel returns home from Australia, but her heart is still tangled up in Alex Sebring—the former rugby star who made her believe in something real.

Real enough to try the impossible––long distance.

The time zones are brutal. The distance, worse.

But they make a promise—to hold on, even when everything else tells them to let go.

Until someone in the shadows pulls the strings.

Two messages.

Two lies.

Two broken hearts—each left believing the other walked away.

For Alex, the silence becomes unbearable. The heartbreak. The what-ifs. It all spirals into a storm of anxiety and depression he can’t outrun.

Then—hope. A chance to reclaim the life he lost.

A shot at a professional comeback. One last opportunity to fight for the game torn away from him. To take it, he’ll need surgery.

The procedure brings him to the States… and back into the path of the woman he never forgot.

The heat between them hasn’t faded.

If anything, it burns hotter than ever.

They weren’t meant to fall apart. But they’ll have to fight like hell to come back together.

Oh this author!!!

What she put this couple through.

What she put my head and heart through.

We watch as this couple falls apart thinking the worst, both hurting, both angry

But we readers know they have it all wrong and all we can do is watch them suffer.

Until finally!!

Our hero is the one to come back and ask questions.

Then my romance loving heart started to smile.

They are the perfect couple and I can't wait to read the rest of their HEA.

Fingers crossed we get more about another blooming couple

Kidnapping/Found Family/Small Town

Release Date: May 6, 2025

Reagan Stuart is happy being alone. It’s hard to be disappointed if there aren’t any attachments.

Hart Anderson knows that love hurts. He learned it as a kid, he learned it again as a teenager, and he learned it from his time in the military.

Two broken souls, Reagan and Hart are on the same wavelength when it comes to relationships. It’s best to keep what they’ve got between them strictly physical.

But things change. When Hart heads to Reagan’s for a night of fun, she’s gone.

Vanished.

Hart knows that Reagan would never just disappear, and he fears she’s in real trouble. It’s a race against the clock to get her back. And Hart can’t screw this up.

Because even if he told himself she meant nothing to him, he knows it’s a lie. He’s in love, and Reagan’s the one who showed him how good it could be.

REVIEW

Reviewer: Christi

Rating: 4 Groupie Stars

Vanished is the 20th book in the Harper Security Ops series by A.K. Evans. 

One would think after 20 books in one series, the storyline would be repetitive. Not AK Evans.  She just keeps rocking out these books, sucking in the reader time and time again.  Unfortunately for me, I am not as good of a writer and fall short on the creative review.  

I enjoy the relationship dynamic between Reagan and Hart.  The way their friendship develops is sweet and a bit funny (add in a little gut twisting rightb in the middle), and it balances the twists and turns.  Well written and an enjoyable read.

AUTHOR BIO

REVIEW

Reviewer: Tammi

Rating: 4.5 Groupie Stars

YES!! YES!!!

Loved this book.

Hayley Faiman writes MC romance exactly how I like them.

The men our rough and raw with a don't give a $hit I will kill you attitude.

Our hero wants her and hates her at the same time.

She is lost but not in a sad sappy way.

Their story plays out through a series of up and downs that wouldn't let me put it down.

A club girl tries to come between them but only makes them closer.

I love a story with a meddling ex that gets exactly what they deserve.

I definitely need more of this series!!!

RELEASE BLITZ: Revenge by A.K. Evans

 

Title: Revenge

Series: Harper Security Ops #19

Author: A.K. Evans

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Tropes: Protector Romance/Small Town

Stalker/Revenge

Release Date: March 4, 2025

BLURB

Cierra Wallace always tried to do the right thing. Helping others has been high up on her list of priorities. That’s probably because she realized years ago that one person could make a difference.

Only now she’s wondering if the help she provided years ago was her best idea.

Greyson West senses a bit of fear when Cierra shows up at Harper Security Ops looking for self-defense and tactical training skills. It’s not uncommon in his line of work, but something about seeing the worry in Cierra’s eyes hits him a little differently.

Working together several times a week to hone her skills, it’s no surprise that Greyson and Cierra find it hard to fight their attraction.

But when Cierra’s past comes back, seeking revenge, she hopes that the one person who could make a difference for her won’t let her down.

REVIEW

Reviewer: Christi

Rating:  4 Groupie Stars

Revenge is the 19th book in the Harper Security Ops series by A.K. Evans.  (Yes, 19th!!) In this book, we get to see Greyson meet his match in the sweet school librarian, Cierra. 

We find out quickly that Cierra has a reason to be afraid when she discovers the man she helped put in prison is getting out, and that has her running scared - directly into Harper Security Ops for self-defense classes, and eventually into Greyson's arms.

Greyson and Cierra are a great couple.  Not polar opposites, but different enough that watching their relationship evolve was engaging and adorable.  I always love the little twists when danger encroaches, and the male MC gets to show his stuff.

REVIEW BLITZ: Old Flame by Abbi Glines

 

🖤 𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 🖤 𝑶𝒍𝒅 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝑱𝒖𝒅𝒈𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑺𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌 3) by Abbi Glines is now LIVE! This is Tex’s story, set in the Judgement Series. 

 1-𝑪𝑳𝑰𝑪𝑲 𝑻𝑶𝑫𝑨𝒀! https://geni.us/OldFlame 

 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩: ✔️MC Romance ✔️Second Chance ✔️First Loves ✔️Morally Grey Hero ✔️Alpha Male 

 Blurb: Once, he had been my entire world. If he'd asked, I’d have given up every dream and plan I had for him. But he hadn’t asked. The day we lost Vanna, his mother, and the closest thing I’d ever had to one, I’d lost him too. Eighteen years later, I’m back in Florida, trying to create a new life for myself after a year of going through the motions since my husband’s death. It’s probably best we don’t know the future because I wouldn’t have walked into that bar if I’d known my eyes would collide with the boy who had shattered me long ago. But Rome wasn’t that boy anymore. He was a biker with a leather vest, tattoos, and piercings. While I’d been mesmerized by the man he’d become, all he’d had to say to me was that I had gotten old. Leaving to never step foot back there again, fate plays a cruel twist where the new life I thought I’d found turns out to be a lie constructed by someone I trusted most, and the only one to save me is a biker named Tex. 

REVIEW

Reviewer: Ebbie

Rating: 4 Groupie Stars

Old Flame is the third book in Judgment Series. This was a great addition to this series. I love and second chance romance so this indulged that guilty pleasure. This was a quick read, I went in blind and was glad I did because I might have missed a great read had I read the blurb. I was widowed almost a year ago so I don’t think I would have read this one had I known going in the H was a widow. I have always felt like that would hit too close to home for me and be a possible trigger. I’m happy to say I was wrong and I really enjoyed this book. I’ve always said we all have that one person that no matter what they do we will always take them back and endure whatever they put us through in the name of love. I truly enjoyed Tex and Salem’s story and cannot wait to get my hands on the rest of it.
