Release Day Blitz & Review…End Game by Monica Murphy

End Game by Monica Murphy is now live!

In this fun, sexy college romance, a transfer student finds herself living in a house full of football players—and falling for the one she knows she shouldn’t want.

Everleigh

Transferring to UC Santa Mira is supposed to be my ultimate college experience—until housing falls through at the last minute. So when I overhear a group of guys complaining they need another roommate, I jump at the opportunity.

They’re just football players. Even if one of them makes me weak in the knees, it doesn’t mean anything unless I let it. And I won’t.

We want different things. Wanting each other doesn’t change that.

Nico

It’s my senior year and final season with the Santa Mira Dolphins. The last thing I need is a distraction, but that’s exactly what this girl is. Ever is too leggy, too gorgeous, too thoughtful—and a whole lot of too much that gets under my skin.

I guess I get under hers too. I can’t help myself.

We live together. That alone makes it a bad idea…but I never could resist a little trouble.

Monica starts this new series off well and just in time for football season!!

End Game is definitely more on the slow-burn romance with very low angst and honestly, it was the perfect combination for Nico and Everleigh.

Everleigh finds herself as the fourth roommate with three guys; three guys who happen to be known as the Kings around campus.

Nico is the typical playboy but struggles with his attraction to Everleigh. But she’s the new roommate and off-limits.

I really enjoyed how this one played out. While some parts felt a bit too long, it helped build that tension and low angst. But also add in the roommates and friends, this was nicely paced story and great build-up for the rest of the books in this series.

A great college, sports romance read. I am looking forward to more from this series.

My life as a queen bee was always traced for me. I’m rich, I come from an influential family, and I constructed my personality to become the girl everyone wants to be. I rule Silver Falls University with bright smiles and the pretense of being everyone’s friend.

My ex.

He wants to protect me when he’s not allowed.
And he wants to make me his even if it puts us both at risk.

Consider me a new Lola King fan. This was my first book by Lola and definitely won’t be my last.

Where do I even start with this review?! Ok – I will do quick what did not work for me and why this isn’t a full five star book. This is a spin-off series and if you have not read anything by Lola (like myself) or did not read the series this is spun off from, you can definitely tell. There are some nuances that are glazed over that, for me, needed to be touched on a bit more to understand the background and history of who these people are. Did it hurt the overall story, no. But it did hurt the flow for me when I hit those parts in the book.

With that being said, overall, this book was really great. I enjoyed the characters, their characteristics and mannerisms and how they all interacted. Lola does a great job of not sugarcoating who they are and stays true to them throughout the entire story.

Ella is Queen Bee and has this image to maintain, all the while, behind closed doors she is anything but she portrays. She’s a complicated FMC with her own demons. She’s been pushed around but at the same time, knows when to hold her own.

Chris is her ex, but also her brother’s best friend, who never knows they dated. To everyone, he’s the perfect gentleman. But Ella knows better than that, or at least she thought she knew him. She comes to learn, that with her, there are zero boundaries he is willing to cross.

Loving the Liar is a dark academia romance with secret society vibes meshed in to deliver one suspenseful story. A story I highly recommend.

Release Day Blitz & Review…So Real by Abby Millsaps

So Real by Abby Millsaps is now live!

Nothing more.

When I met British billionaire Kabir Spencer at Splice London, he promised me an unforgettable night and nothing more. One night turned into a string of encounters, each one hotter than the next.

As our dynamic evolved, Spence helped me explore a side of myself I didn’t know existed until the moment I uttered the words Yes, Sir.

Then my secrets and my sorrow became too much to bear, and I well and truly broke.

During my lowest of lows, Spence cared for me in all the ways I needed.

Now, he’s come to my rescue once again, though he dropped a bomb of a secret when he arrived.

I have a lot of explaining to do to my current boyfriend and my ex-boyfriend-slash-stepbrother, but I’ll have plenty of time to get to it while we’re trapped together in the mountains for the holidays.

As if that isn’t enough, my narcissistic mother is back in town, and she and my stepfather will be joining us, too.

Nothing more didn’t last. Nothing I love ever stays.

It’s for the best. It’s only a matter of time before the possessiveness and sizzling tension between the three men in my life reach a boiling point and start to feel too real.

So Real is the second book in the Boys of South Chapel series. It is a steamy second chance why choose romance that must be read in order. A full list of tropes and triggers can be found on the author’s website.

What the actual hell!?!?

Another cliffy!? OMG – I need the next book pronto!!

I need to collect thoughts and get my libido under control after finishing this one.

It’s been a full week since I finished reading this one and everything is still fresh in my mind.

I thought the things between Greedy, Levi and Hunter were hot and heavy in the first book, but add in Kabir and instant combustion!!

Don’t get me wrong, my heart broke for Hunter as we got more of her background. But holy dang, Abby takes that heartache and makes your heart thump with this new dynamic.

I am not saying anything else – just go read this one. But start with book one, So Wrong, first.

Start reading So Wrong, book 1 in the Boys of South Chapel series!

But she’s not the same girl Max once knew.

She now lives in the shadow of her a notorious felon on death row, convicted of a crime that shook the nation. Reeling from the fallout and shunned by her peers, all Ella wants is to fade into the background.

I have started and stopped this review so many times, I lost count. So please bear with me as I stumble through this because my thoughts and emotions are everywhere.

I hadn’t expected this book to tear my heart apart in so many different ways and then glue those shattered pieces together again.

I was expecting this to be an angsty YA romance but the only thing YA about this novel is the age of these characters & where there story starts. I got my angst but I also got a whole lot more.

Jennifer truly knows how to captive her readers with her words. She creates characters with a depth and connection, that it’s impossible to not feel the emotions running off these pages. She delivers a narrative that is very raw and authentic, allowing readers to become the characters.

This story has many twists that I never anticipated and it just gripped my heartstrings even tighter. I flat-out bawled many times reading. I had to put the book down, walk away and regroup myself because I was so vested in this story.

And while I cried, alot, I had huge smiles too. I felt my heart sing and rejoice many times. My heart and soul ran the gamut of emotions with this one and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Jennifer Hartman – this is your best work, to date. Ella, Max, their family and friends are forever a part of my soul.

“Soul doesn’t see. Souls feel.”

Once the book releases, I’ll add more quotes (because there’s a crap ton) that I highlighted throughout this story.

If you read one book this year, let it be this one. This is the perfect example of why I read romance – the journey may be uneasy, but results are worth it.

My first book by Jennifer and definitely not my last one.

Older is an age-gap, forbidden romance that definitely took me on an emotional rollercoaster.

This story is definitely character driven and readers get to truly see these characters struggle and grow as time moves forward.

This story is a true slow-burn and while I wanted to see more of their connection and not just Halley’s day-to-day doings, I could still get an idea of how things developed.

Jennifer knows how write a gripping story and even though this one had some mundane bits in the middle, overall it was a great story.

Definitely a forbidden romance that any romance reader will enjoy.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Lonely For You Only by Monica Murphy

From New York Times bestselling author and BookTok sensation Monica Murphy comes a swoon-worthy new adult romance full of love songs.

Young heiress Scarlett Lancaster is delighted when her father tells her he hired a famous pop star and former boy band member to play at her eighteenth birthday. But delight becomes utter disappointment when it turns out he wasn’t talking about Harry Styles. No, Scarlett’s dad hired Tate Ramsey, former lead singer of the band Five Car Pileup, who hasn’t been popular for years.

Tate, after years of alcohol- and drug-fueled partying, is sober and ready for a comeback. He is in top form at Scarlett’s party and blows the audience away with his performance–though Scarlett herself still isn’t impressed. But when they talk after he leaves the stage, their encounter ends in a kiss that surprises them both–and immediately goes viral.

The viral kiss and the video of Tate singing at the party do wonders for both of their burgeoning careers. So after some careful negotiation, the two of them agree to start a fake relationship. But before long they discover their feelings might not be fake after all …

This is a sweet, coming of age, with a bit of rockstar, romance read!!!

Read the blurb if you want to know what the book is about. I do my best to NOT summarize the book in my reviews or give details away that may spoil any parts of a book.

Scarlett is not your typical heiress. Yes, she realizes how fortunate she is, however, she doesn’t want to be known for that. She wants to be relatable to the every day individual. And when she is provided an opportunity to live outside the life of her Lancaster, she takes that opportunity, with a bit of hesitancy though.

Monica does a wonderful job of letting this story play out naturally. But with saying that, certain revelations seem quite fast and the characters address this very well. I found this story to be authentic in so many ways yet very entertaining for readers. There is very light drama and is all handled well.

Overall, another great read from Monica Murphy!!

I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Julia is digging her claws into Jase.

My boyfriend, Chad, is getting in deeper with a local gang.

And my loathsome new stepbrother, Ares, has just moved in.

Ares despises Chad and Jase, and the feeling is mutual. As their rivalry escalates, Ares seems determined to use me as a pawn, and I’m trapped in the middle. It doesn’t help that he’s hot AF, knows exactly how to push my buttons, and my body hasn’t gotten the memo he’s off-limits.

I wish that were the least of my worries.

Pride. Wrath. Lust. Envy. Greed. Gluttony. Sloth.

My life turns upside down the moment the dark secret society of The Luminaries is revealed to me.

Everything I thought I knew was a lie.

Now, I have lost all control over my future, and a heart-breaking new reality emerges.

One where lovers become enemies, enemies become allies, and corrupting sinners to sin is my only way to survive.

Nineteen-year-old Tempest Jackson wants a baby.

No, her biological clock isn’t ticking, but she’s desperate for unconditional love. Rejected by all except her brother and soon to be married off by her father for financial gain, she aches for someone to hold close and call hers.

Enter Ledger Thorne. Soccer god, devastatingly handsome and her brother’s rival.

Once upon a time they had a thing. A beautiful thing. But while Tempest thought she was madly in love, Ledger was only using her for petty revenge.

So Tempest has a plan: seduce the sexy jerk who broke her heart, use him to get pregnant and then leave him in the dust like he left her, to marry a stranger.

Only the problem with making babies is that it doesn’t feel like revenge. It feels a lot like that thing they used to have: Hot and stormy, and intense and intimate.

But Tempest isn’t a fool. She’ll stick to the plan.

Because wasn’t it Ledger who turned their beautiful thing into something ugly?

Now it’s her turn…

You Beautiful Thing, You was an interesting read for me. I didn’t not like it and I didn’t love it. I am truly torn right down the middle on this one.

I absolutely loved the idea of this book and the writing was ok. I enjoyed the characters and their uniqueness, however there were other things that just didn’t jive with me.

I will say that the book is enticing and kept me entertained. It’s not your typical NA romance; it definitely stands out.

I would still recommend readers check the TW and then go from there on reading it.

Release Day Blitz…Watch Your Mouth by Kandi Steiner

Watch Your Mouth by Kandi Steiner is now live!

My brother’s teammates know not to touch me—but that doesn’t stop me from daring Jaxson Brittain to be the first to break the rule.

After one steamy night in Austin, I’m all too aware of the hot, broody defenseman with icy blue eyes and ink sprawling his muscular arms. He was the one my brother assigned to keep me safe—and I had far too much fun tempting him to be the one to put me in danger.

It was just one night of tip-toeing the line, of teasing and flirting and messing around knowing nothing would ever come of it.

But when the universe throws me back into his lap two weeks later and we end up on a secret road trip together, all bets are off.

I can’t help but touch him. I can’t help but pray for him to touch me. And I can’t resist the temptation to test him at every turn.

Jaxson is smart and doesn’t have a death wish. So, like a gentleman, he keeps his hands to himself… the jerk.

But the closer we get on the road and the farther we get from reality, the less those warning signs from my brother seem to deter him.

When we started this road trip, we set a boundary. We promised to keep all arms and legs safely in the friend zone.

Now, miles and miles away from all the reasons we shouldn’t, all I can hear is my heart thumping out the resounding reason we should.

And the way those heated blue eyes watch me, I know I’m not the only one.

Meet Kandi

Kandi Steiner is an Amazon Top 5 bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing “emotional rollercoaster” stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance — in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you’re a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she’s your gal.

An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women’s Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.”

She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.

When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, planning her next adventure, or pole dancing (yes, you read that right). She enjoys live music, traveling, playing with her fur babies and soaking up the sweetness of life.
