Release Day Blitz & Review…Dirty Crazy Bad Two by Siobhan Davis

In the secret society of The Luminaries, no sin will go unpunished…

Dirty Crazy Bad 2, the addictive and jaw-dropping conclusion to the dark reverse-harem Dirty Crazy Bad Duet from USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Siobhan Davis is live now!

The Greed & Gluttony Luminary has trapped us into executing his evil plans, and it seems we have little option but to agree. Carter has orchestrated Chad’s kidnapping, and he holds my mom’s life in his hands.

Then he drops a game-changer

We must play our parts—or at least look like we are—because the fate of our loved ones, and the world at large, depends upon it. There is no choice.

It’s a delicate balancing act, with many obstacles and no guarantee of success. Carter has spent years planning his takeover and knowing who to trust is impossible.

Teamwork is the only way we can defeat him. But that is challenging when relationships are fractured, the guys are sworn enemies, and loyalties have been pushed to their limits.

It’s up to me to make this work, so I will push my grief aside to be there for Ares, Jase, and Chad.

Rhett Carter cannot become Lord of the Luminaries and we’re the only ones that can stop him.

I don’t even know what to say.

DCB2 is even more tantalizing, jaw dropping and suspenseful as DCB1.

Siobhan holds nothing back as she takes readers on an intense & dangerous ride with twists you can’t imagine to deliver a superb ending.

This book (whole duet) is not for the faint of heart as there are some depraved scenes that have your heart breaking. The secret society is more cruel and twisted than you’ll ever envision – they are the law.

Let’s not forget that woven into all that mayhem, is some swoon-worthy and very hot harem romance. Chad, Jase & Ares do not let our girl down in so many ways.

DCB2 is a suspenseful thriller that will keep you guessing til the end. Siobhan packs a heavy story with amazing characters and delivers an epic ending.

Release Day Blitz…Darkest Power by Rachel Van Dyken

I’ll stop at nothing to save her.
Even if it means she dies at my hands.

Darkest Power by Rachel Van Dyken is now live!

What happens when an ancient god is thrust into modern-day life? Find out in #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken’s newest paranormal romance.

“…Eventually, the worship of Horus stopped. For the favored god had finally turned his back on his people—and disappeared.

Until now…”

What’s the god of the sky and war supposed to do when I’m stuck in modern-day Seattle with a team of immortals who’ve dropped me right in the middle of a battle between good and evil?

I move in with Tarek, a werewolf, in an effort to join society and learn about modern times. Then I start my own TikTok and go to my brother’s bar to watch the ridiculous humans attempt to fall in love over and over again.

Listen, I’ve already done my part in saving the world from a catastrophe a month ago—which is how I found myself in this very seat at the bar, stuck in a time that’s no longer my own.
I’m bored out of my mind until I start bartending at Soul and am forced to train the new hire—Kit. She’s clumsy, shows up late to all of her shifts, constantly has it out for me, and doesn’t sleep. Ever. Which would make her a great asset, except as the full moon gets closer, she gets harder to control.

When I find out the truth behind her identity, I know I must go down into the Abyss—to the immortals’ greatest enemy—to help her ascend. If she doesn’t, she’ll lose an eternity’s worth of immortality and pitch the world into chaos. And yes, going to my friends’ enemy is wrong, but I’ll stop at nothing to save her.

Even if it means she dies at my hands.

Stuck with her off-limits, taciturn, hunky movie star client during a sudden snowstorm on Christmas Eve, an extremely capable and highly professional bodyguard must keep him alive and warm without letting the tension building between them get too hot.

Bathsheba (Beth) Ryan can’t thank her best friend enough for helping her land the job of her dreams.

Until she shows up at his studio meeting the next day with a completely different name.

A world-wide press tour and too many late-night parties later, Beth simply needs to get through a short, one-day visit during the Christmas holiday, and then she’ll be free of Cyrus Malcom’s confusing hot looks and cold shoulders for good.

But just as they leave the airport, it starts to snow . . .

Cover Reveal…The Act of Trusting by Lexi Bissen

Lexi Bissen has revealed the cover for The Act of Trusting!

Releasing January 17, 2023

There was a sadness in her clear, gray eyes that I could see she tried to hide. A fight with her inner demons she didn’t want to show anyone…

Camden Collins
Life was going well for me. I was on the right track: captain of the soccer team, grades were passing, and I had the respect of my team. Girls threw themselves at me. It was every twenty-year-old’s dream.
Then I saw her…
One look at her, and it all changed. Something about her drew me in. A sense of protectiveness to guard this small, sad girl. In her eyes, I could see the fight she had within herself…and I wanted to be there for her. To protect her and be someone to lean on while she fought whatever it was. Nothing else seemed to matter but the dark-haired, beautiful girl I couldn’t stay away from.

Blaire Wentworth
I wasn’t the same girl I was four years ago. My life was stolen from me one night and I’d never have the chance to get old me back. Now I was just existing, not living. I went through the motions of my everyday routine, staying quiet and keeping to myself. Trusting and letting people in was a constant struggle.
Until he showed up…
I’d never seen someone like him before. Not once had I described a guy as beautiful, but that’s what he was. He struck something in me, and I didn’t know how to handle that. I was chasing nightmares no one knew about. Ones I kept to myself for a reason. Could I let this new person into my life that I had kept closed off from many for far too long? What if I let my guard down and he ended up destroying me?
And that became my greatest fear…

Born and raised in Tampa, Florida, Lexi enjoys spending time with her family, taking in the sunshine with a good book, and giving the voices in her head a story.

When Lexi isn’t writing, you can find her binging the latest Netflix show, laughing at her own jokes, or sipping iced coffee while spending way too much money at the bookstore.

Release Day Blitz & Review…The Holly Dates by Brittainy Cherry

The Holly Dates by Brittainy Cherry is now live!

All she wanted for Christmas was a boyfriend for the holidays…
All he wanted was for her to take her crappy first dates elsewhere…

Quirky Holly Jackson was unlucky in love, yet her romantic heart refused to give up her search for companionship—even after her fiancé left her at the altar on Christmas Eve.

Grumpy restaurant owner Kai Kane wanted nothing to do with love after his last relationship. Unfortunately for him, when an eccentric Holly kept entering his restaurant nightly with a different first date, his annoyance grew.

When Kai volunteered to help Holly find a suitor it was for one reason only: to get her out of his restaurant and on to a second date with someone at a different location.

Once Kai became Holly’s dating coach, her confidence grew.

It was all going great until Kai became increasingly jealous of the connection Holly developed with another man. The more Holly fell for Kai’s pick for her, the more overprotective he became.

Kai quickly realized that all wasn’t fair when it came to love and the holidays.

He was going to have to step up his game if he wanted a shot at the ultimate prize—being Holly’s favorite date.

*The Holly Dates is a steamy, full-length romantic comedy that will put you right in the holiday spirit.*

I have never been one to read holiday books but I lost count of how many I have read so far this holiday season and each one has been really enjoyable.

The Holly Dates is a cute and funny holiday romance. I breezed through this one quickly and enjoyed each moment of it. I found myself laughing out loud a lot and really enjoying the sweet, romantic moments.

Holly and Kai made me laugh and smile so much. I enjoyed watching their story go from enemies, to friends to more so. One thing that makes their love story so enjoyable is it’s based so much on them loving who the other person is and not just the physical attraction (though, that was hot too!).

This book is a great holiday romance – it has the festive aspect with lots of laughter and romance added in to deliver a great story.

A Dirty Business by Tijan is now live!

When Jess Montell meets Trace West at a hockey game, she doesn’t know his name or occupation. What she does know is there’s an instant attraction that’s impossible to ignore–or forget. And forgetting is exactly what she wants to do when she learns he’s not just a successful Wall Street suit but the heir to one of New York’s biggest Mafia families.
The last thing Trace needs is a romantic anything with law enforcement, and parole officer Jess has trouble written all over her. Too bad he likes trouble. Especially when it’s a brunette bombshell with attitude and legs for days.
She’s an absolute spitfire, and he wants to stoke that flame.
Trace didn’t ask for the Mafia life. Jess doesn’t want any part of it. They both know it’s safer to stay away, but the temptation is too hard to resist—no matter how great the danger.

Release Blitz & Review…A Wonderful Lie by Carrie Aarons

A Wonderful Lie by Carrie Aarons is now live!

Everyone lies around the holidays. We lie about the money we’re spending. We lie that we’re following our diets.

What am I lying about this year? The fact that my workplace nemesis has become my friend-with-benefits.

Collin Machlan and I have been each other’s competition since we joined our college’s radio station freshman year. Six years later, we’re both hosting shows for the country’s most popular podcast network.

Just as everything starts turning red and green, our boss announces a promotion, and whoever gets the most listens during this merry season will be crowned the winner.

There is just one catch; the only way to draw an audience in December is to theme every episode around Christmas. For a woman who typically celebrates alone with takeout and slasher flicks, I’m at a big disadvantage.

Going toe-to-toe with the guy I’ve never been able to intimidate is only made harder by the fact that Collin doesn’t seem to want to play our usual games. Add in some mistletoe and a Secret Santa swap, and I finally give in to his shameless flirting.

Maybe it’s the delusion of cuffing season, but suddenly I’m spending every night with him. No one at work knows. Neither does his family, or my friends. I lie that it’s just physical. That me, a self-proclaimed bachelorette, couldn’t possibly be on the brink of a relationship. I lie that we’re still competing for a job he doesn’t even want.

Until one too many lies threatens to topple my life like a crooked tree with poorly-distributed ornaments. And I’m left to decide between my lonely and blue traditions, or a love that lasts all year round.

Looking for a “Hallmark after dark” romance read??? Or even if you’re not, you definitely want to grab this one!

I absolutely loved Collin & Lark. Lark has hated Collin since the moment they met. They’re been sworn enemies from the very beginning, even though Collin has always found Lark extremely attractive.

Their snarky, yet hilarious jabs at one another just add fuel to the already raging chemistry between them. And now they find themselves truly competing against one another for the top spot in podcasts.

Carrie’s newest release is so magical!! It’s the perfect blend of holiday cheer, great humorous moments & that amazing swoon-worthy romance she always bring to her stories, but just a tad spicier!!!

GRAB IT NOW!!

Meet Carrie Aarons

Author of romance novels such as Fool Me Twice and Love at First Fight, Carrie Aarons writes books that are just as swoon-worthy as they are sarcastic. A former journalist, she prefers the love stories of her imagination, and the athleisure dress code, much better.

When she isn’t writing, Carrie is busy binging reality TV, having a love/hate relationship with cardio, and trying not to burn dinner. She lives in the suburbs of New Jersey with her husband, two children and ninety-pound rescue pup.
