Awakened (Steel Brothers Saga 16) by Helen Hardt-Review tour

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 29 2020

His voice enthrals her. Her vibrancy awakens him.

Ashley White can’t wait to begin her internship at Steel Vineyards. As an oenology doctoral candidate, she knows all the theory but lacks practice. Working under renowned winemaker Ryan Steel—and his equally talented nephew, Dale—is an opportunity she can’t refuse.

Dale Steel is a loner. Despite his huge family full of uncles, aunts, and cousins, he’s more at home in his vineyards, where he finds something that comes close to the tranquility he craves. He’ll never find true peace, and he’s accepted his fate…until his new intern shows up and turns the only world he knows upside down.

Ashley awakens emotions in Dale that he never dreamed possible, and though he resents her intrusion into his life, he can’t deny the sparks that blaze between them. Still, he must remain distant. To succumb to his growing feelings would provoke something else entirely—the darkness he keeps hidden even from himself.

•••••••••

REVIEW: Just when you think the Steel family has finished their story…another makes it way into the mind of Helen Hardt. Awakened is the start of the Steel children all over again; this one beginning with Talon and Jade’s children.

Dale Steel loves his vines and the connection he feels with them, working in the vineyard with Ryan is what keeps his demons at bay. Through therapy he has learned to cope, but still refuses to talk about the past and the trauma he experienced. He’s content in life, all he needs is the ranch and the vines.

Or so he thought.

Ashley White loves all things wine and is planning on making it her career. When she lands the internship at Steel Vineyards, she is so excited and happy, while she has the mental knowledge, she doesn’t have any experiences in the making of it. It’s the chance of a lifetime, but she wasn’t expecting Dale.

As always HH hooks us with her characters and storyline. Ashley jolts Dale out of his content little life and soon he starts to crave her just as much as she does to him. Feelings rise, drama ensues, the plot thickens. I very much enjoyed this new start to the Steels, as always HH leaves us with more questions than anything at the end of Awakened. All the more I want my hands on the new book. Way to go on this secret smiling story!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 17 2020

How hard can it be?

That was the question rolling around Larissa Mason’s mind just before she asked Hollis Hudson to be her fake boyfriend.

It was only supposed to be for five minutes, after all.

Granted, that was also before she felt his hand on the small of her back as he charmed the heck out of her family.

And it was definitely before she saw the football god shirtless. Otherwise, she would’ve had an idea of just how hard some things could be.

It turns out that pretending to be in love with a crazily handsome, somewhat enigmatic, and absolutely unforgettable tight end (that has an amazing tight end) is easy.

Reminding herself that just because opposites attract doesn’t mean they’re forever is much harder.

What they have isn’t love—it’s a relationship pact. Right?

••••••••

REVIEW:Ladies and Gents, please make sure your seats are in the upright position and your buckled in; this is going to be a wild ride!

The Relationship Pack is here, the third book in the Kings of Football series by the lovely Adriana Locke. While all the books in the series can be read as standalone books, I always recommend reading a series in order to get the most out of it.

Hollis Hudson.

Larissa Mason.

Two strangers, until they are not.

A moment that was only supposed to that a few minutes turns into something that lasts a lifetime.
I didn’t want this to end so bad! Hollis and Larissa are such a happy and fun couple, you can’t read them and not fall in love with their story. The plot is awesome, it moves at a steady pace, and when the secondary -not that they aren’t fab- characters come into play, it makes it all the better. Hollis and Larissa are like the golden Disney couple we all simp over, we stalk their social media pages, follow the trends they do, and support them till our last day. Both Hollis and Larissa are such great characters that when their story ends, you want to finish that bottle of wine we all know we popped open, both happy they got their HEA and because their story is over!

I love the growth Adriana Locke gives each of her characters, the lesson they learn throughout the story. 5 out of 5 stars from a loyal reader!

REVIEW:Hawt, Hawt HAWT!

Her Dirty Bodyguards is a quick, hot read, AND it’s on Kindle Unlimted!

Lil, Thorn Dex and Cal are thrown together in a funny kind of way that makes their story interesting to read. The guys are hot, over the top alpha’s that protect what is theirs, and now that means Lil. At first, I was really unsure if I was going to like Lil, she was a little flakey and mean. However, the story is fast paced, and the characters do have some growth for a short story, it’s hot and funny with a good plot. I can’t ask for more than that.

I grew up at Flood Creek, but left the dusty godforsaken place first chance I got.

Yup, I got chewed up and spit out.
The sexy new owners at Flood Creek Ranch? They’re kind enough to let me stay. But they made it clear my ride won’t be free.

•••••••

REVIEW:I need a Cowboy!

Book 6 in the Men at Work series is freaking awesome! All books in the series can be read as standalones and are multiple men to one woman stories.

Ruby, Jameson, Cam and Roman are by far my favorite in this series so far, maybe I’m just a sucker for an alpha cowboy, but this was such a fun read.

Ruby has returned home to her small town Montana, only to learn that her parents have sold her childhood family ranch. Not only have they sold it, but they sold it to three men that she hasn’t seen in years! With a rocky start back home, Ruby finds herself falling for not one, not two but three guys. This story was quick, hot and so much fun to read!

Reviews by Sarah L

NOTE: The excerpt is intended for mature readers 18+ due to strong language and content.

“What are you doing? You have no business being here.”
Well, shit. Ruby still wasn’t up to speed on all the changes that had taken place at her parents’ former ranch.
And there she was, finally out of bed—freshly fucked, sober, and mad as a cut snake. And cute as hell.
She might be back in Flood Creek, but she sure as hell had brought a lot of the big city with her. She was wearing what I was pretty sure were called yoga pants, and I had to say I’d never seen a chubby teenager turn into something quite so freaking gorgeous. Not that I’d cared about that in high school. I’d been madly in love with her.
Not only was her baby fat gone but so was her frizzy hair. Now smooth and sleek, it looked like something right out of a fashion magazine, cut above her shoulders and swinging around her head.
“Well, good mornin’, Ruby Lee. How’d you sleep?”
I gave her my best shit-eating grin. Because I could.
Her chest turned a pretty pink color, which spread up her neck, and by the time it reached her face, was nearly a shade of strangled purple.
She’d better check her blood pressure.
She sniffed. “I slept fine, thank you.”
I pointed. “How’s the head? You got any pounding going on?”
She lifted her chin. “I’m… okay. I found some fifteen-year-old aspirin in my bathroom medicine closet.”
I burst out laughing at that one. Sounded like something my mom did, keep shit around the house for fucking ever.
“Let me know if I can call poison control for you,” I laughed.
But she didn’t.
“Get your feet off my father’s desk,” she said, hands on hips.
Cripes. Hadn’t this woman pretty much begged me to fuck her not ten hours ago?
“It’s not your father’s. You know that.”
She pursed her lips. She was hot by any measure, but now that she was mad, she was killing me. I adjusted myself in my blue jeans because I couldn’t stand the torture any longer.
Good old Ruby Lee Whitaker. My first love, who’d dumped my ass as soon as I no longer served her any purpose. I was over it. Really.
But that didn’t mean I wasn’t going to torment her all I could.
“You’re being awfully grouchy for someone who was begging to be fucked just a few hours ago.”
Her eyes widened, and I could swear her face grew even more purple as she looked around to make sure no one else was in hearing proximity.
This was fun. And she deserved every bit of shit I could throw her way.
“I… that’s not true. That’s not how it happened. At all,” she stammered.
For someone who’d been in New York for a time, she sure wasn’t as tough as I thought she’d be. She was losing her shit faster than I could fuck with her.
Almost took the fun out of it.
Almost.
Yeah, I could be a dick that way.
She shook her head as if to clear her thoughts. “Why are you here, with your feet up on Roman’s desk?” she demanded.
“For a homeless person, you’re pretty damn rude,” I said, moving my feet. “And for your information, I’m Roman’s business partner. I own this ranch with him. So this desk is theoretically mine too.”
She gasped. Apparently, Roman hadn’t filled her in on everything she’d missed.

Writing has been a passion of mine since, well, forever (my first book was “The Day I Ate the Milkyway,” a true fourth-grade masterpiece). These days, steamy romance, both dark and funny, gives purpose to my days and nights as I create worlds and characters who defy the imagination. I live in magical Northern California with my own handsome alpha dude, sometimes known as Mr. Mika Lane, and an evil cat named Bill. These two males also defy my imagination from time to time.

A lover of shiny things, I’ve been known to try to new recipes on unsuspecting friends, find hiding places so I can read undisturbed, and spend my last dollar on a plane ticket somewhere.

I have several titles for you to choose from including perennially favorite Billionaire and Reverse Harem stories.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 8, 2020

Nate Brady and Myra West have been keeping a secret, though not just from their group—also from each other. Getting married when they were barely adults wasn’t in the cards when they made their plans for their future. Divorcing one another amidst pain and heartbreak wasn’t either.
Years have passed, wounds have scabbed over and scarred, but their anger remains.

If the two can open themselves to the impossible, they might be able to take that second chance. Only they’ll also have to fight their fears, the lies between them, and the desire they thought long gone.

Except they aren’t alone in their secrets, and if they aren’t careful, they may just be taking them to their graves.

•••••••••

REVIEW:I love me some second chance love stories!!

Ms. Carrie Ann Ryan is a Goddess with stories and I always enjoy myself when I read her work. From Our First is the fourth and I -Think- final in the Promise me series. From book one, I have been DYING to get Myra and Nathan’s story, and it did not disappoint.

Nate and Myra’s story picks up right where the last books ends, C.A.R dropped that killer hook at the end of the last book had me screaming for the next one LOL. Nate and Myra have a past, one that is now affecting the new lives they have struggled so hard to rebuild. They both have family and friends together and now run in the same circles. Can they manage to put the past behind them and try to move on from the hurt in their pasts?

In their first year of college, with their first taste of being an adult, Nate and Myra feel in love and got married. Head over heels in love with one another, they wanted nothing more than to finish school and live their lives with one another. Unfortunately, life doesn’t always work the way we want it to. Divorcing, bitter pain and hurt cause Nate and Myra to hold to the hate, over time their wounds scab over and scar.

Now, after so many years have passed, the truth has been revealed and their chance to heal has finally come. Will they take it? Will Myra let go of the past and move on? Will Nate be able to forgive himself for the pain he has caused? Now that they know the cause of their pain, now that they know the truth can they wipe the slate clean and move on together?

Yahoooo!

Myra and Nathan, what can I say about these too…both so stubborn, both so young when the pain hurt. They trusted people who they thought were their family, and that backfired. Myra’s parents are the worst, trash and the bottom of the bin and I truly hope they get what’s coming to them. For Myra and Nathan though, you can tell how much they still care about one another, but neither are willing to take the jump to heal the breach. -Shakes head- From Our First is an awesome read filled with raw emotion, pain and healing, love and growth, spicy moments and loving ones that warm the reader’s heart. Five stars and a must read for any reader that loves a second chance love story!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 6, 2020

Wyatt Batista has sworn off love. Can his new friend and business partner make him believe in happy-ever-after?

Having spent most of his adult life lusting after a man who could never be his, Wyatt Batista resolves to steer clear of love. That’s all fine and dandy, until he meets Nathan.

After an accident sends his carefully planned future off course, Nathan Hardy leaves Seattle in search of new horizons and adventures. When his path crosses that of Wyatt, he enters into a business partnership with a man he comes to admire and respect deeply.

But what starts out as friendship soon turns into something neither of them expected. For Wyatt finds himself falling hard for someone who he believes could never return his love once more, while Nathan becomes aware of feelings he never imagined he would harbor toward another man.

Can Nathan convince Wyatt that he is serious about giving their relationship a try? Or will Wyatt run again, fearful to trust and accept a man who wasn’t gay in the first place?

••••••

REVIEW: I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this bad boy, as soon as I finished book three, -Hunter- I wanted the next in the series!

Wyatt is the continuation of the Twilight Falls series by the brilliant A.M Salinger. The book can be read as a standalone as most of the story and background is given as needed, but I always recommend a series in order. Wyatt, like the rest of the Twilight Falls series, is a gay romance between two men, be aware of this for readers who don’t like this.

Wyatt Batista is sporting a broken heart, but falling in love with a straight man will do that to a gay guy. After watching the man he was in love with move on, Wyatt swears to himself that he is never falling in love again.

Or so he thought…

Nathan Hardy is given a second chance at life. After narrowly escaping a car accident with his life, he vows to himself to live life with no regrets and make every moment count. Nathan won’t settle in life for anything anymore. This leads him to quitting his long time job and breaking up with his fiance, and moving to the quite town of Twilight Falls. There he takes an interview with Wyatt’s company, and after that…well the rest as they say is history..

Or not..

Wyatt and Nathan are friends and colleagues, fast forward a little and poor Wyatt finds himself in the same lust as he was the last time. Falling for a straight guy that isn’t into him as more than a friend. Nathan on the other hand is slowly starting to see Wyatt as more than just a friend and colleague, he sees him as someone that might just be the one for him. Wyatt however, is scared about putting himself out there with a guy that is straight, Nathan wants to explore the feelings they have for one another. Now all he has to do is convince Wyatt he is serious about them being together. Will Wyatt give Nathan a chance? Read and find out!

I loved this! I was a little nervous when the author started with Nathan being straight, I didn’t want to see this as a jab at trying out guys or something to that effect. I was not disappointed. Wyatt is firm in his sexuality, but seeing him vulnerable about starting something with Nathan really makes him relatable to everyday people. Nathan is new to liking a man, but it’s not just any man he likes, it’s Wyatt. I really enjoyed watching the guys work through their issues together and find something that they both needed. Plus we get more Izzy! I love her, and really hope she gets her own story at some point. Way to go to the author on her latest release! Five stars! I can’t wait for what comes next.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 27, 2020.

Macon Brady remembers every moment he lay on the ground, a bullet in his chest, his life bleeding out with each pulse. Yet his nightmares aren’t the only thing keeping him up at night.

Dakota Bristol left her ex with nothing but the clothes on her back and her child in her arms. She’s been hurt before and wants nothing to do with the shadows in Macon’s eyes. The problem? Her son loves him, and the more time she spends with the man, the more she’s afraid she’ll come to love him just as much.

Danger always comes back to haunt those who run. It was a lesson Dakota learned before. Now, it might be the man she refuses to fall for who makes the greatest sacrifice of all.

•••••••

REVIEW: Far From Destined is the third book in The Promise Me series by the lovely Carrie Ann Ryan and what a tearjerker it is. Far From Destined can be read as a standalone, but I do think reading the first two in the series will help the reader understand the characters and also give them the back story so they may understand where the current book starts.
I have been loving this series, I love the sisterhood the pact sisters have and don’t even get me started on the Brady Brothers. We see more of previous characters from past books, which is always super interesting, seeing what they are up to. The more I read this series, the more I wanted from it.

Macon Brady.

Brooding veterinarian, survivor of bullet wounds and all-time alpha male with a soft spot for family and friends. Macon is troubled, dealing with the aftermath that comes with the scar on his chest, he takes to the one thing that helps; boxing.

Dakota Bristol, single mother and small business owner is trying to give her young son the best life she can. She has good friends that have become family, and now it’s her turn. The Blind date pact is upon her, and she won’t go back on her promise. Her pact sisters have found their partners in the Brady family, and they want her to find hers there as well. In Macon.

Macon the man that her son is clinging to, the man who looks good enough to eat and a lover of all thing’s animals. Too bad all they seem to do is snip at each other whenever they are in ear reach. Both characters have been through so much, each has their own fears to work through as the story lines progresses. Macon gets under Dakota’s skin and it turns out, she likes him there. When Dakota’s past, in the form of her abusive ex makes an appearance, Macon will stop at nothing to keep his new family safe.

Wow! Carrie Ann Ryan out did herself in this one. Today’s generalizations of men teach them not to show emotion, to not let a weakness show, they must never be weak. Carrie Ann Ryan chucks that out the window with the Brady Brothers. You feel everything that Macon is going through, the nightmares and the fear. It’s a great story, with even better characters and story line I can’t wait to see fulfilled. I can’t wait to see Myra and Nate, and Pop, I LOVE her! Four and a half stars for this glorious read!

But along the way, something went terribly wrong.

Daphne Steel loves her husband beyond measure and will stand by him no matter what, even when it’s more than she can deal with. She escapes when she must, still always putting Brad and their children first.

Mysteries deepen, secrets are unveiled, and Brad vows to continue to protect his family at all costs. But is the price too high? The lies and misdeeds get easier and easier, until he descends to a place he swore he’d never go.

There’s no turning back, though, and his actions have consequences—for those he did everything to protect.

REVIEW:The final book in the awesome Steel Brother Saga, Descent is the conclusion to a series that has been one of my favorites for years. I have been waiting for this book since I finished the last one, and trust me when I say it doesn’t disappoint.

Descent is Brad and Daphne’s story, this is epic, tragic, surprising, and simply magnificent. We thought we knew the story, that we had everything figured out and that there were no more turns of us to take. The adventure was over.

Or so we thought.

Descent is most definitely going to surprise you, no way around it. Blows your socks off good! Brad is almost villain like, but it makes us love him all the more, as we get the finale of the book we learn things about Brad that are sure to make you scream. Daphne is a character I feel many people can relate to, her struggles, her strength of will. The love she has for her family.

Descent was just how I wanted the Steel Brothers Saga to end. Congratulations to the author, and a five out of five stars!!

REVIEW:Ignite by Chelle Bliss is the fifth book in the Men of Inked: Heatwaves Saga. I 100% recommend reading this series in its intended reading order, I feel like you need to do this seeing as this story is a continuation of Wild Fire, the third in the series. There is so much that happens in this book that if readers are unfamiliar with the story or characters, they may not know who some people are and become confused.

We meet Tamara and Mammoth in Wildfire, we see how they start their adventure together, and in Ignite we get to see them find their happily ever after. I so enjoyed reading about them in their first book, and Tam is a hoot all on her own. She’s a Gallo and that says it all. Tamara in this story and her emotions are so real, she’s so strong all the time, but in Ignite you see her shell crack just a little. Of course Mammoth is there to make it all better, but she worries about him and the life they want to start together. The club is important to them both, but once a member always a member. Tamara and Mammoth must navigate choppy waters to find their safe harbor on the other side.

Chelle Bliss is a genius when it comes to writing hot, over the top alpha’s and the woman they fall for. This series is such a fun, happy read and I would give it 4.5 stars for sure! Congrats to the author for another great release!
