ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date

He’s tall, sexy…and a total prick. Sign me up.

Helper. Problem-solver. Situation savior.
It’s who I am–and what I do.

But when I meet the sexy, rugged, and totally irresistible British guitarist, everything goes into overdrive. I want him–possibly crave him. And I’m hellbent on fixing everything he’s facing.

There’s only one small problem. Gabriel Knight wants nothing to do with me or my savvy solutions to his agony. The more I try; the worse he gets. As his neighbor, his acquaintance, and his drooling fan, I’m not giving up. Tall, dark, and dreamy just needs to get on board and know what I’ve known all along: we’re going to be explosive in the bedroom for years to come. Now, he just needs to succumb to everything I want.

•••••

REVIEW: I’ll say this once, I’ll say it a hundred times. I love a grumpy hero! Tall, Dark, and Dreamy is that second installment in the Billionaire Baines Family novels. The book is fabulous as standalone, but as always, I’m a reader who loves a series order.

Enemies to lovers has never been more true for Ravina and Gabriel. Gabriel has one thing that he wants; custody of his daughter, nothing and I do mean nothing matters more to him than that. The grumpy, singer/artist is fighting a battle for custody of his daughter, and nothing will stop him from making sure she is happy and safe. He however wants nothing to do with his new neighbor, the one that’s all sunshine and determination. Ravina is stubborn and strong, with one look at Gabriel she knows he’s worth climbing whatever walls he’s put up. The only problem? He doesn’t want a diggity darn thing to do with her, he is almost as stubborn as she is in his grumpy ways. So what is Ravina to do? Well, meddle of course!

Oh how this series makes me feel. The funny moments, the family love, the spicy bedroom rendezvous, watching a father fight for his child with everything he has in him, to finding one’s dream and happiness. This book has all the feels. For those coming into this author for the first time, relish the journey you are starting. I can’t wait to see where Baines takes us next.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 11, 2022

He’s inherited billions, but he must leave his home and family to claim it.
She’s no longer a captive, yet will she ever be free?
Austin Bridger is struggling to keep his seaplane business afloat and help his ailing mother. When his father, who never acknowledged his existence, dies, he leaves his billions to Austin and his two half brothers. The catch? To receive the inheritance, they must all live on his father’s Montana ranch for a year. To Austin, the money’s tainted, but because he desperately needs every dime, he has no choice but to leave Seattle.

Carly Vance was a student in veterinary school when her dream was shattered. Abducted from a diner in her small town, she was held captive on a South Pacific island for three years. Now she’s home, but her scars run deep. Trying to reclaim her life, she bravely takes a job in Bridger Ranch’s stables.

Sparks fly when Carly crosses paths with Austin, but they both hold secrets—secrets that could keep them apart forever.

•••••

REVIEW: “I…I don’t have a home.”

“I don’t have one either, But baby, I think I just realized that home isn’t a place. It’s a person. And my home’s with you.”

Excuse me while I go sob into a dark corner. Helen Hardt and Vanessa Vale have taken their talents to the next level with their newest series. Scarred is a tale of light and dark, family and fear, betrayal and hope and loss and love. The first in the new series, Scarred offers a beautiful journey with amazing characters.

All Austin wants to do is help his sickly mother and save his flight business. He does nothing but work and tries his best, but nothing ever seems to give enough for him to move forward. When he finds out that the father that never wanted him left him an inheritance, he sees a faint hope that life is looking up. Too bad to gain the billions that the old man left, he has to go live in the middle of nowhere Montana on his father’s ranch. Best of all that also includes meeting and then living with two brothers as well. With his mother getting worse and no end in sight, Austin has no choice but to take the chance.

Little did he know what was waiting for him.

Carly used to be a normal college student, she came and went to classes, went to parties with her friends, that was until she was abducted from a small town diner. Three years later, she’s home, but not unscathed, she has scars. One that you can see, and ones you can’t. Determined to find some sense of normalcy, she takes a job at Bridger Ranch in the stables where there aren’t many people and she can help the animals. When she meets Austin all her plans fly out the window. Sparks and feelings she thought were long dead rise to the surface, but can she let her past go long enough to let Austin in.

Austin and Carly are like a balm to each other, neither believing that the past they each carry would allow them happiness. Nonetheless, on the ranch they find more than just each other, they find family.

Oh how I loved this read. It was so soulful, Vale and Hardt sure know how to tug on the heartstrings. I loved Carly and Austin together, but also how their brothers bond and come to love each other. That is family, no matter where they come from. I can’t wait to see what brother is coming next.

Who doesn’t love the romance of the old West? USA Today Bestselling author Vanessa Vale takes the sensual appeal of rugged cowboys a step further with her bestselling books set in the Montana Territory. They are much more than just sexy historical westerns. They’re deliciously naughty reads that sometimes push the boundaries of fantasy. It’s pure escapism with quite a few very hot, very alpha cowboys. When she’s not writing, Vanessa savors the insanity of raising two boys, is figuring out how many meals she can make with a pressure cooker, and teaches a pretty mean karate class. She considers herself to be remarkably normal, exceedingly introverted and fairly vanilla, which does not explain her steamy stories and her fascination with cowboys, preferably more than one at a time. She lives in the Wild Wild West where there’s an endless source of ‘research’ material.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 4, 2022

Logan “Crow” Taylor had every intention of not getting involved in trouble after gaining his freedom and rejoining his motorcycle club. But when the rough and rowdy biker crosses paths with a single mother in need of help and his protection, he can’t turn his back and walk away.

•••••

REVIEW:Ms. Bliss is back at it again with her rough and tumble, tattooed alphas. Broken Wings is the third installment in the Open Road series, and wow does this series get better and better with each new addition.

Birdie and Crow’s story is an emotional adventure, but one that I think every reader will enjoy. Crow has been released from prison and is determined to get his life back not only for himself but with his club. On his way however, what he wasn’t expecting to encounter was a single mother who needs not only help but protection as well. Birdie and her daughter Mia are scared, you can tell that with a single look, but they are also desperate. Taking help from Crow and his MC brothers, Bridie comes to see more of who they are and what they are about.

Birdie and Crow both have past trauma and issues that they let shadow their feelings for a good part of the story, but every good romance needs a little drama. Bridie is smack dab in the middle of a very stressful situation, and when Crow comes to her aid in all his knight in shining motorcycle boots, she wants nothing more than to trust him. Join them on their fantastic quest of finding love, family and hope.

Broken Wings is a spicy, funny, emotional journey with a fast paced storyline. Anyone that loves a good MC romance is sure to like this read.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 26, 2022

Never in a million years did I think I’d be jilted on my wedding day.

Around the time Asher Rose was supposed to say “I do”, she was bellied up to a bar full of bikers, three sheets to the wind and feeling sorry for herself. The last person she expected to come to her rescue was Owen Shields.

He was tattooed, broody, and her ex-fiancé’s best friend. The arrogant jerk who was supposed to be the best man at her wedding was never supposed to be her knight in shining armor.

Falling for Owen was never part of the plan, but when the gorgeous town vet throws everything he has her way, including his adorable dog and angelic niece, Asher is in for the fight of her life.

•••••••

REVIEW:  My expectations of fictional men are wholly based on Jessica Prince and her characters. Stunner is the third book in the Whiskey Dolls series and can be read in either series order or as a standalone.

This book is freaking stupendous! Asher and Owen is a story that all readers will want to consume, and not just because of the spicy bits (though there are plenty). When Asher is at an all time low thanks to her non wedding, who comes to her rescue? That’s right, the hot, tatted vet who also happens to be her ex’s best friend and the best man at said wedding. There’s irony in that for sure. -Giggle-

Reading Asher and Owen’s story and how one moment Asher thinks Owen hates her, to the next when he clearly cares for her was so thrilling. There is of course a little drama on both sides, but as any good romance, they make their way through it. It has it all, grumpy giants, tatted vets, swoon worthy romance moments, and so much spice. Always though, the characters are what make the book the most worth it. Way to go JP for another lovely book!

“Hi,” he said, low and gravelly.

I turned on him, making sure to narrow my eyes into slits, determined to gain my anger back after meeting the lovely Hazel, because I’d be damned if I let him get away with the silent treatment he’d been subjecting me to.

It wasn’t easy, especially not with the contrition swimming in those green eyes, but I held firm. “‘Hi’? Seriously? You’ve been ghosting me for three days and that’s how you’re going to start?”

He stepped in closer, his delicious smell making my head all fuzzy. “You look beautiful.”

Oh, he was good. Damn it! Stay strong, Asher! I silently scolded. I blew past the compliment like I hadn’t heard it, even while flutters erupted in my chest.

 

 

Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That’s why God created central air, after all.

Jessica is the mother of a perfect little boy–she refuses to accept that he inherited her attitude and sarcastic nature no matter what her husband says.

In addition to being a wife and mom, she’s also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books–romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it’s a passion…there’s a difference. Not that she’d expect a boy to understand.

Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.

Hunted in Darkness (Aspen Pack 2) by Carrie Ann Ryan-Review Tour

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Chapters Indigo / Google Play /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 19, 2022

Skye Jamenson-Anderson knows the legacy she must live up to. She’s the daughter of warriors and the granddaughter of the late Alphas who sacrificed everything so their den could survive. Though she feels she doesn’t have a place in her Pack, she does everything in her power to keep them and their allies alive—including saving the Aspen Alpha.

As Alpha of the Aspen Pack, Chase Leyne knows a thing or two about one’s legacy. He’s the son of a traitor and the most powerful wolf in his territory. He also knows without a doubt that Skye is not his mate. When the two decide to lean on another in every way possible, they both go in knowing nothing forever can come out of it.

The enemy is stepping up their game and threaten the stability of the alliance forged in blood. With one bite, Chase and Skye’s world changes, and the one thing that is keeping them apart might be the only promise to save their Packs and their future.

••••

REVIEW: The second book in the Aspen Pack Series; Hunted in Darkness is a lively, fast paced shifter romance. HID can be read as a standalone, however, I always recommend reading a series in order to get the most out of it.

Chase is the new alpha of the recovering Aspen Pack, he has much to prove and rebuild after the damage his father did as previous pack leader. Now the newly healing pack has a new flight on their hands, something is coming and they will need to rely on each other to get to the bottom of it. Even the ones that he doesn’t expect.

Skye Jamenson has been lost for what feels like her entire life, never really feeling like she belonged anywhere. Her parents have never been nothing but supportive, but she knows she also has her family’s name to live up to. Skye will do whatever she can to make sure her pack and their allies stay safe and whole. When one of their allies is attacked, Skye rushes to the rescue.

Chase is pleasantly surprised by Skye and her strength as she stands her ground against those around her. This new enemy is coming for not only their packs, but all packs everywhere. As the battle continues, this new enemy keeps coming after Chase time and time again, and when this happens, Skye is always there to help him. The mating bonds are all messed up still, but they both feel something when they are with one another, maybe a little less…broken?

I love a good shifter romance and C.A.R never lets me down! It was really interesting getting more of the back story of Chase and the Aspen back. This new threat is going to be one that know one sees coming. Skye and Chase’s connection is so different compared to other “fated” mates, the bonds are still altered so what they should be feeling is muted. However, their connection and chemistry is still fire, they bond even without it. Hunted in Darkness is filled with heart pounding action, jaw dropping twists, and spicy bits that will fuel the imagination.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

To everyone in Dayton, Hendrix Hunt was the tattooed bad boy, the bully, the player. The guys hated and feared him; the girls wanted to tame him. And I just wished I could forget him.

Two years ago, Hendrix was my world. My hero, my savior. Then the taint of Dayton ruined everything, breaking both of us with secrets and lies. I destroyed him and now he wants to destroy me…

They say love is patient, that love is kind, but when a love is broken, it becomes filled with jealousy and revenge. The only question is, who will pay first?

Hendrix Hunt was no Romeo, but just like Juliet, I was in love with my enemy.

•••••

REVIEW: I have been waiting for this one!! Book three in the Dayton series; No Romeo takes us back to our least favorite High School and back to the lovable, but crazy people that go there. Each book can be read as a standalone, but as always, ya girl is a fan of reading a series in order for all the juicy details.

Hendrix and Lola.

Lola is back in Dayton after being away for two years and not everyone is happy that she is. After a hellish two years, all Lola wants to do is get her life in order, protect her sister and at all cost avoid Hendrix. Yes, her Hendrix. The one that thinks she betrayed him, but all she truly did was protect his sorry bum.

Hendrix is a dude, and does what most dudes do when they want to get rid of the feelings they have. They sleep around. This is what he does for the two years Lola is gone. Well it’s more like what doesn’t he do really, because it’s not much. He does everything he can to get Lola out of his head and out of his heart. Too bad nothing is working. When she arrives back at Dayton, the rug is pulled out from under him and now he has to face her again. They have to face each other.

Oh lordy! These two are like children when they fight over the same toy. Lola protects Hendrix from something, and when he finds out it changes everything for them. Secrets are revealed, scary stuff happens that puts more at risk that they could ever imagine, but when it comes down to it, Hendrix and Lola have one another’s backs. To say this was an easy read would be a lie, however, it was one I could not put down. Lola and Hendrix are each other’s person, and that is just how it is meant to be.

NO PRINCE
Dayton #1
Stevie J Cole & LP Lovell
Release Date April 6, 2020
Genre: young adult, contemporary, erotic, romance

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Zepp Hunt wasn’t the king of Dayton high school. He was the top of the food chain. And I was next in line to be dragged into the lion’s den. At least that’s what he thought…

Good girls wanted to tame him. Bad girls wanted to be tainted by him. Everyone bowed down to him. And me? I hated Zeppelin Hunt with every fiber of my being. Which was why I stayed away from the arrogant bad boy with tattoos and a rap sheet. Until I couldn’t. Until we traded favors, and I owed him three months of my life.

I never thought I would end up in his bed, and when I did, I had to remind myself that he hated me as much as I hated him. Until I didn’t.

Zepp Hunt was no prince, and I absolutely refused to be his damsel in distress…

••••••

REVIEW: Discombobulated. Perfect word to describe my mindset reading this book. Stevie and Lovell play off of one another so well, when they write, you can tell how much they enjoy it, and by it I mean, torturing their readers lol.

No Prince is the first in the Dayton series, a new adult novel. I’m not normally a big fan of this genre, I like my books with a little more fire if you catch my drift, but I was pleasantly surprised with this one. No Prince is an enemy to lovers’ bully romance, but Zepp isn’t your typical bully.

Monroe is such a strong person, she gives off bad bee energy, but under all the bravado she is still a girl, vulnerable and hopeful. She wants what all girls want, secretly or not. Love. Her childhood and family life aren’t the white picket fence that others may have, she wants out, and will do anything and everything to make that happen.

Zepp is all alpha bad boy, liquor, smokes, girls, you name it, if he wants it, he gets it. His loyalty is only to those in his circle. When it comes to Monroe however, he’s a different person. He’s more for her. Their chemistry is off the charts, and together they make one hell of a team. When these two get together the world fades and all you can do is focus on them.

This book has one of my new favorite lines in it about trust, it home with me, as did the characters. They are so believable as people, their emotions and struggles so raw, by the end I wasn’t just reading to read, I was reading to see these two find their HEA. This series is gonna be a kicker for sure.

I’m music royalty.
Part of Hollywood’s elite.
It’s a perk of being the only daughter of Gabe Colt and Chris Decker.
Except, no one knows my fathers are together.
They kept their marriage private along with their children.
They hid us–and their love for each other–for years.

I grew up sheltered from the celebrity world.
But I was exposed to so many lies…
All I’ve ever wanted is a normal life.
Friends.
Love.

Sure, I have my brothers and the handsome, geeky Mason Bradley, but that’s not enough.
I want more.
I want romantic love.
Instead of finding it—him–I fell for Porter Kendrick.

I thought he loved me.
He only loved that I worshiped him.
After a loss that rocks my world, I find myself relying on the only friend I’ve ever had.

•••••••

REVIEW:Suddenly Broken -Unexpected Everlasting Duet 1- is an absolute emotional rollercoaster. Everything Mason and Ainsley are going through, you feel as though you are there with them as they experience it. This author is a master at the written word, and destroying my fragile mental state lol.

I think Mason and Ainsley bonded so well because they both have somewhat unusual families and upbringing. Ainsley is the daughter of celebrity royalty Gabe Colt and Chris Decker, the kicker? No one knows that her fathers are together. Ainsley grew up distant from others and cut off from anything close to a “normal” childhood. Now she’s grown and wants to experience all the wonders life has to offer, romance and love being at the top of that list. She just picked the wrong guy to experience it with. Porter Kendrick.

Mason has a similar story with her parents as he is bounced back and forth between. Each of his parents use him to hurt the other, and he has never met their approval on anything he has ever done. Through all of it, Mason and Ainsley remained friends. When Mason finds out what Porter has done, and his abuse of Ainsley, all bets are off. Ainsley starts her road to recovery, after sharing with her family what happened. Mason is her knight in shining Kevlar, and maybe more than a friend?

I cried, I own it, I was a mess reading this book. The courage of Ainsley to start living, only to have it ripped away, the pain, the abuse, her family and all their secrets. Mason and Ainsley are both so supportive of one another, and I really hope they both find their HEA.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

It’s been five years since I lost myself.
Instead of conquering the world, I was broken by a man.
Now, I’m willing to risk everything to find the more I’ve always wanted.
Finding love is on top of that list.

Mason Bradley has always been there for me.
He held me when my world shattered.
He helped piece me back together after I was broken.
Now, I think it’s time he teaches me how to date.

But Mason Bradley owns a high intelligence security company.
He dedicates his life to serving others.
He doesn’t want a place to call home.
And he’s not looking for love.

He’s perfect, right?
Except, things get complicated too fast between us.
And to top it all, the low-life I dated is back trying to claim me.
Is this déjà vu or are we destined to be together?

Suddenly Us is the conclusion of the Unexpected Everlasting.

••••••••

REVIEW: If you thought book one was an emotional rollercoaster, I hope you strap yourselves in for this one, think more tornado. Suddenly Us is the second and final installment in the Unexpected Everlasting Duet series, book one is a requirement to read this!

Mason and Ainsley are back at it again after five years. Ainsley has moved to Seattle to be closer to her brothers, and is slowly trying to find her place in life. Mason is still her anchor, and the one she turns to when she needs help. Her family has been so supportive and kind now that they know about everything with her ex, but Ainsley still feels lost, like she is missing out on parts of life.

She wants love, she wants romance, she wants a family of her own. With Mason. Ainsley wants Mason to show her all the things she has missed out on, she wants to date and explore more things, but she wants to be safe too. Poor Mason has been racking his mind trying to figure out why he needs Ainsley the way he does, why he can’t seem to tell her no. Mason gives in and sure enough they fall into each other. Things are just as Ainsley wants, Mason is everything she is looking for and she couldn’t be happier. Mason however, is remembering all the ways his parents were growing up and it makes him question things, his relationship with Ainsley is going too fast, and he leaves. Ainsley is crushed, but luckily Mason realizes his booboo and makes moves to fix it. But with everything she has had to go through, can she take the pain of losing her rock? Can she forgive him?

Best part of this ending was Ainsley making Mason work to get her back, she didn’t simply roll over and let him back into her life by just saying he was sorry. He had to earn her trust again. These two have both been hurt in different ways, but didn’t let that pain keep them from a better future. I was squealing like a happy piglet with their HEA!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date

Powerful and enigmatic billionaire Braden Black doesn’t do relationships. He doesn’t fall in love. But ever since meeting Skye Manning, he’s breaking every one of his careful rules. He just can’t get enough of her fierce independence and the white-hot sizzle of attraction between them. Of course, there are still lessons Skye has yet to learn…

Only Braden isn’t sure Skye is ready. Falling in love is one thing. Inviting her completely into his world—and the reality of his darker, most forbidden appetites—is quite another. It’s about trust. His and hers. But his past mistakes are catching up with them both. And Braden is running out of time to show Skye the things she’s never imagined…and have only just begun.

REVIEW:Have you ever wanted to get into the mind of someone you have fantasies about? Wanted to know how they thought, what they were thinking? Well I sure have, and with Braden Black.

Under is Follow Me Under book two in the series, but from Braden’s point of view. We get everything, and by everything, I truly do mean everything. Under continues from where Darkley left off, the couple is now official and have admitted to each other that they love one another.

Braden’s issues continue to pop up, but they feel so much more intense in his POV. We get more of his past and his reasons for his hard limits, Skye continues to push through limits, out of love, but still a push. All Braden wants is Skye’s trust, but there is always something. The book as a whole is so intense, there is just more of everything. More turmoil, more chemistry, more sexyiness, more angst. MORE. I have loved reading this series, but getting Braden’s POV was something I didn’t even know I was missing, but something I will always go back for a reread. Now that the series is finished, you best believe I’m doing a full reread.
