Release Day Blitz & Review…If This Is Love by Jewel E Ann

If This Is Love by Jewel E. Ann is now live!

He’s mine … don’t ever forget that.

Milo lives in the barn, a cowboy through and through.
I live in a castle, but I’m not a princess.

When the only person who loves me dies, Milo’s there.
As I get older, I no longer look at Milo like a big brother. I look at him like the man God made just for me.

With the first glimpse of freedom from my pathetic excuse for a father, I imagine a future with Milo. I dream of the day when we won’t have to hide our feelings.

But Milo has a secret. He is not free.
The man I love is marrying the woman I hate.

Jewel has done it again!!

If This Is Love is probably one of the most the best, slow-burn romances I have read in a while.

Talk about your forbidden romance with so much angst and chemistry!! However, this book will not be everyone’s cup of tea.

Jewel is known for writing stories that are original and unique. And this one is no different. But this is just one of the many reasons I love her stories. The characters are multi-faceted, their story will stand out from others and readers will undoubtedly feel very strongly about the book.

I’m just going to leave you with some quotes that I loved:

“How do you know if someone loves you?”
“A look. A touch. Sometimes it’s just a feeling.”

If this is love, why is it wrong?
If this is love, what can’t we be together?
If this is love, why does it hurt so much?
If this is love….I don’t want to live without.

“The world doesn’t care about us. It doesn’t wait for us. Why should we care about it? What should we wait for it? We’re not like everyone else.”

Release Day Blitz & Review…Until I Get You by Claire Contreras

Three years ago she ruined my life, now I’m going to ruin hers.

Until I Get You by Claire Contreras is now live!

My reputation at Fairview University preceded me. I was the projected number-one pick in the NHL draft and the fan favorite at the rink. People wanted to be me or be with me.

Except for Lyla James Marichal.

She didn’t look at me like I was her next meal. She eyed me with disdain.
Instead of vying for my attention, she ignored me and pushed me away.

She was completely unattainable, and I became obsessed with her.

When I finally got her, it felt like I was on top of the world. I was going to help the team win another championship, going into the draft, and had Lyla by my side.

And then, without warning, she left me.

Vanished.

It took me three bitter, angry, long years to find her, but I did, and now she owes me a lot more than just an explanation.

Three years ago, she ruined my life.
Now, I was going to become her worst nightmare.

This title could not be any more perfect for this book.

Claire does a superb job of delivering a romantic suspense within a college sports romance story.

Lachlan is college hockey player with high hopes of going into the NHL. He has no problems with the ladies and has never had problems with his lifestyle. Lyla used to be a star soccer player. She now has a few close friends and tends to stay away from most people.

Lachlan notices Lyla standing at his spot during a party and she intrigues him. Lachlan has never wanted to chase anyone but Lyla captivates him and he finds himself doing what he can to get her attention and finally wears her down. But he finds out quickly why Lyla keeps people at a distance and she vanishes.

Three years later, Lachlan finds Lyla again and he refuses to let her go this time.

Oh Claire – you wrote this story with the perfect amount of tension, suspense and assertiveness. There are some aspects that a few readers might find triggering, so please be cautious when reading. Bu I love the blend of the mild darkness, the angst and the chemistry.

Go buy this one!

Release Day Blitz…The Rules of Dating My Best Friend’s Sister by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

Title: The Rules of Dating My Best Friend’s Sister

Authors: Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Release Date: April 2, 2023

BLURB

From New York Times bestselling authors Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward comes a new standalone romance.

Rule number one for dating your best friend’s sister: Don’t.

Just don’t do it.

Especially when your best friend is dead and the last thing he made you promise him was that you’d keep an eye on his little sister, but not too good of an eye.

As a musician whose longest committed relationship was six weeks, I, Holden Catalano, was the last guy on Earth who should’ve been messing around with Laney Ellison.

The super smart girl whom I affectionately dubbed Lala since childhood was always off limits.

Though that didn’t stop me from thinking about her over the years, especially those times when the two of us would sneak out onto the roof and talk for hours after my buddy fell asleep. It was innocent, but I’d always held a torch for her.

After Ryan passed away, I vowed to always protect Lala. That included protecting her—from me.

Now all grown up and a scientist, Lala needed a place to stay when she accepted a temporary research position in New York. I thought I did the right thing by offering her an apartment in the building I co-owned with my three friends.

Except having her close by reignited all of those old feelings.

And things started to get complicated.

Especially since she was engaged.

And especially since, lately, I’d noticed something more in her eyes. Desire.

Lala didn’t exactly look at me like the platonic brother figure I was trying so desperately to be, even though I wanted her more than I’d ever wanted anything.

Yet, I was being good—on my very best behavior.

But you know what they say…all good things must come to an end, right?
