RELEASE BLAST AND REVIEW by Aleatha Romig

 


FEAR OF FLAMES

Aleatha Romig

She writes thrillers for a living, but nothing could prepare her for the one she’s living now.

By day, Michelle Holdcraft is the quiet woman-next-door in small-town Indiana. But by night, she's D. Valentine, a bestselling thriller author with a mind for murder and secrets.

Her real life? 

Completely ordinary. Until one unplanned trip to visit her estranged father in Iron Falls, Massachusetts, flips everything upside down.

She wakes to a gunshot only to find her father’s body in a pool of blood on the first floor and flames engulfing the walls.
She barely escapes the burning house. Fleeing barefoot into the snow, Michelle becomes the only witness to a crime that no one in Iron Falls wants solved. Especially the sheriff.

Hiding in the snowy pines as she watches her father’s home burn, Michelle doesn’t know what to do, until a mysterious man appears, offering to help her—to save her life.

Michelle has never met Fletch—surely, she would remember this handsome and dangerous man if she had. However, Fletch knew her father and knows a lot about her, including her alter ego and her mother’s mysterious death.

With limited options, Michelle accepts Fletch’s help. It isn’t until she sees the large tattoo across his wide shoulder blades that she is shaken to the core. Michelle has seen that exact tattoo before—on her father.

Fletch might be her only ally... but he is hiding something. Her life has become one of her thrillers.
But this time, the story’s out of her hands—and the ending might just kill her.

This time, the heroine doesn’t get to write the final page.

What will it bring?

Reviewer: Tammi

Rating: 4.5 Groupie Stars


Great story! I read it from the edge of my seat.
Everytime I thought I was on the right track a twist was thrown and was back to square one.
At one point I wasn't sure I knew who the good guys were.
The love story was quick to start but played out a little slower making me believe it was more that installments.
Another great book by this author. 
If you haven't been Aleatha'd your not reading the right books.

The Rebel CEO. I’m successful and determined, but I don't play by the rules. Heck, I don't even have rules except one. I never ever get involved with my assistants. After a very bad experience years ago, I know better than to mix business and pleasure. I've had no problems sticking to my rule until I hired Daisy. When I first meet her, I have no idea she’s my new temp assistant. I just set eyes on this gorgeous woman at my favorite coffee shop, and do what I do best: flirt with her like there's no tomorrow. When I realize my mistake, I change the tune. I'm cold and distant but my plan is not working. Not one bit. Whenever she steps into my office, all I think about is bending her over my desk. When she gives me sass, all I want is to cover her mouth with mine until she begs for more. Daisy is fun and unlike anyone I've met, and I gravitate toward her whether I want it or not. When she suddenly gets a call from home that her family needs help, I immediately take over. All lines blur, but one thing I know for sure, I won't let Daisy go. I just have to convince her that I'm the one. And I'm very convincing when I want to be. 


REVIEW
Reviewer: Chelsea
Rating: 4 Groupie Stars

We finally get into the mind of the Rebel CEO, Anthony LeBlanc! Anthony only has one rule for himself, and he never breaks it. The rule? Never sleep with your assistant! He learned the hard way years ago that mixing business and pleasure is never a good idea. 


Anthony is a bit of hard man to work for, that’s why he’s looking for a new assistant… again! Daisy moved from New Orleans for a job, but that didn’t work out. She finds herself working for Anthony, and they both realize that Anthony’s ONE rule is harder to stick to than they both thought. 


I loved getting more from this family!! This couple were so good together! I loved that they just had a pull between them! As always the family dynamic is consistent with all of Hagen’s books and we get to see the LaBlanc family a lot! I can’t wait for the next installment!!

Blog Tour: Bitter Burn by Sierra Simone

 

    BITTER BURN BY SIERRA SIMONE   Release Date: September 30th     GENRE / TROPES: MMF Romance / Forbidden Romance/ Bodyguard Romance/ Opposites attract / Arranged Marriage / Age Gap       Bitter Burn, the 3rd and final book in the Lyonesse Trilogy, by Sierra Simone is NOW LIVE!   Make sure to grab this all-new MMF, arranged marriage, forbidden romance TODAY!   NOW AVAILABLE!! https://www.thesierrasimone.com/bitter-burn   START THE TRILOGY TODAY! https://www.thesierrasimone.com/lyonesse           BLURB   I think it’s important that you know this about me, that you understand this: I’m not sorry. I’d do it again. After my husband died eight years ago, I made vengeance my only purpose, my religion, my destiny. But to get to my enemy, I had to make myself like him. He had a kingdom of secrets? Then I would make an empire. He had blood on his hands? Then I would bathe in it. But Tristan and Isolde changed everything. I hadn’t counted on wanting them, needing them; I hadn’t counted on how it felt to watch the two of them fall in love. I’d thought I had everything under control—I’d thought I was safe from my own long-dead heart. I’d never imagined that the wronged husband, the jealous king from my childhood fairy tales, would be played by none other than me. It no longer matters what I used to believe. My enemy is ready to finish the game, and for the first time in eight years, I have pieces on the board I can’t afford to lose. I’ll burn the entire world to keep Tristan and Isolde safe, I’ll scorch the earth—but as any good assassin will tell you, fire will only get a man so far, because there’s always something left in the ashes. And for the three of us, it’s the cold, bitter bones of the truth: their story begins and ends with me. And every story needs a villain…   Read the Lyonesse Prequel, Salt in the Wound, for FREE Tropes: Anti-hero. Age gap. Arranged marriage   https://www.thesierrasimone.com/saltinthewound

Great ending to an awesome series!
It was a wild ride of emotions.
Our 3 put me through the wringer.
I read wide-eyed eyed not knowing how this story was going to end.
When all the secrets were revealed I was shocked and worried. I wasn't sure how they could overcome the lies and deceit.
I have to say they were a filthy trio and I was here for it!!
Another winner from Miss Sierra Simone!

Genre: MC Romance Meets Mafia Romance
Tropes: Dark Cinderella Retelling
Enemies to Friends to Lovers/Forced Proximity
Release Date: September 21, 2025


BLURB

“You’re playing with fire, Little Cinder...”

LARS
I’ve been called a lot of things in my life. Enforcer. Savage. Monster.
None of them bother me. I know what I am.
I am the iron fist of the Knights of St. Boniface Motorcycle Club. I protect the club and keep my family safe.
What I don’t do? Get involved.
Until her.
She’s trouble in torn denim, cowboy boots, and a smile I can’t get out of my head.
I should walk away.
But I can’t.
Even when I know she’ll ruin me.

ELLA
After my father dies, my half-brother turns our home into a living hell, then sells me to a man with blood on his hands and cruelty in his smile.
That’s when he appears. The inked biker with a piercing glare and a body you’d happily die worshipping.
At first he is a threat. Then he becomes my sanctuary.
But he doesn’t know who I really am, or what I’ve been sent to do.
Or the danger we’ll face when all our secrets come burning down.

Cinder is a Cinderella retelling set in the gritty world of the Knights of St. Boniface motorcycle club. It’s a dark, motorcycle club romance with off-the-charts chemistry, undercover secrets, and a brutal, broken hero who would burn the world down to protect the woman he loves.
For readers 18+






REVIEW
Reviewer: Tammi
Rating: 4 Groupie Stars

I love the way Penny Dee writes MC!
This series is like a dream crossing for me. Fairytale retellings are something I can get enough of and mix it with MC yep you got me hook, line and sinker.
Our store is a rough one our girl is living a horrible life with a controlling abusive stepbrother.
Our hero has a understandable commitment issue until her.
Secrets and lie could have kept them apart but love and understanding won out.
I am really enjoying the series and can't wait for the next one!

All 3 books for only $7.99 from the author’s direct store! BLURB: Winnie Halliday is life's greatest winner… She has money, power, influence, and a family that loves and supports her no matter how impulsive or improper her choices. Winnie has longed to step out of the shadow cast by the Halliday name, but even gilded cages are hard to break. After several years chasing the one who got away, her childhood crush turned infamous footballer, Kyser Kent, Winnie's about to return home. It's time for her to take on the role she was born to play: the first female CEO of her family's multi-billion-dollar business. It's a massive challenge, but nowhere near as difficult as explaining to Ky and the relentless press that the reason she wasn't alone upon her return could be traced back to a heated one-night stand in Portugal—an encounter her now downtrodden fling can hardly recall. Kyser Kent is the world's biggest loser… He has no money, no friends, and a reputation tarnished beyond repair. His dream career of playing professional football overseas was sidelined by bad luck and some seriously questionable decisions. From the moment he returned home, the familiar cage of poverty and disgrace trapped him behind familiar rust-covered bars he longed to escape. The thought of starting over makes him want to give up before he even begins digging himself out of suffocating debt and overwhelming disappointment. Winnie saved Ky from himself when he hit rock bottom once before. Little did he know that night would tie him to the heiress for a lifetime and give him an undeniable reason to fight for himself—and for the family he never thought he'd have. This is a spinoff of The Monsters Duet. Mental health and mental heath disorders, suicide, domestic violence and loss of a child. #Thetempooftruth #Readitnow #newrelease #Jaycrownover #Wordsmithpublicity

REVIEW BLITZ: Texts From My Exes by Rachel Van Dyken

 

TEXTS FROM MY EXES

Some people scrapbook.

I screenshot my exes’ texts.

What started as me venting my dating disasters online (creative outlet, don’t judge) has turned into a blog with actual followers—and the only thing keeping me in my dirt-cheap apartment. My grandmother-slash-landlord insists I “prove my creativity” to stay, so the blog lives on.

Except now my readers want a happy ending. With an ex.

Problem? None of my exes qualify.

So…I invent one. The perfect guy. The one that got away.

Rule #1: Never roast your exes online if they know how to read.

Rule #2: Definitely don’t make up a fake ex-boyfriend just to keep your rent low.

Rule #3: do not—under any circumstances—let your best friend discover the lie.

Because now he’s volunteered to become my fake perfect ex. And the more we fake it, the more I can’t tell if my readers are the only ones falling for the story.

Turns out, the biggest plot twist of all?

I might have been in love with him the whole time.

This book proves how wonderfully diverse Rachel is as a writer! She had me laughing out loud multiple times!! The banter in this book was so much fun to read! Harper’s exes really were horrible and the tales she writes about were outlandishly funny! 


Ezra, Harper’s best friend, and her relationship is what was the best part! Their conversations were out there at times but it was truly the best part! 

This was fun and east read that will definitely have the reader rolling with laughter!
