Release Day Blitz & Review…My Anti-hero by Tijan

My Anti-Hero by Tijan is now live! 

I shouldn’t have agreed to this. What was I thinking?
Appearing on a local news show? Just because something happened to me?
I live mostly in isolation on purpose.

But here I am.
I was so nervous that I needed the make-up chair, twice.
And then I walked past his room.

He’s a giant—no softness, all muscle.
And a rich beard that made me want to rub myself all over it.
He made me see stars, literally because the second time I saw him, I tripped.
Or I would’ve, but he caught me, and the cameras were rolling.
Soon, that clip will be trending because he wasn’t just another guest on the show.

He’s Brett Broudou, the Kings’ newest football star.
We couldn’t be more opposite.
The only special thing about me is the reason I was on the show.
Brett, the Super Bowl champion, and me, the survivor who helped bring down the infamous Midwest Butcher.

Brett might not think he’s anyone’s hero, but he’s about to become mine.

Overall, I enjoyed this story. My Anti-Hero is Tijan on the sweet, romantic side.

Tijan wrote Billie and her character, wonderfully. I love her growth, her strength and tenacity. She made this book for me.

Brett is very alpha and possessive with his protectiveness. But he’s also sweet towards Billie.

These two complimented one very well. My biggest issue was the insta-love. As anyone who reads my reviews, insta-loves are a tough one for me. It has to be done right. And while I enjoyed Brett and Billie’s story, I struggled to believe their insta-love.

My Anti-Hero is a large book but don’t let that scare you. Those pages will go by in a blur.

I’ll seduce her. Claim her.

Then flaunt my acquisition in front of her ex, Lawrence Wellington—

The man I plan to destroy.

 

𝗢𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲, 𝗜’𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴.

 

She’ll be the easiest and most … 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 part of my vengeance.

Charming her away from a man old enough to be her father won’t be an issue.

 

And if it comes down to it, I’m not above using force.

But he’s just like every other rich, entitled asshole.

He doesn’t know me.

All he sees is a pretty object to be possessed and discarded.

 

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗲.

 

I’ve come back to the Olympus Club for a reason,

And I won’t let anything stop me,

Least of all a smooth-talking criminal with arsenic on his tongue.

♦ ♦ ♦

I was too pissed to play Prince Charming. Fuck that. I’d sooner throw her over my shoulder and lock her away than let that geriatric bastard see her in what should have been meant for me.

Jesus, I didn’t know where these thoughts were coming from.

I was out of control and couldn’t find it in me to care.

She started to answer, and I could tell by the fire in her eyes that I wouldn’t like what she was going to say. I cut her off before she got the chance to say a word. Clutching her wrist, I hauled her around to the alley on the side of the building. It wasn’t particularly private, but it was better than having it out with her on the goddamn sidewalk.

“Is Wellington taking you to the club for dinner tonight?” Just saying the words made my jaw ache with strain.

“Yes.” Defiance. So much bloody defiance.

“You don’t want to be with him, I know it. You came to Bastion for a reason. I didn’t make you—you came on your own. So why the fuck are you still going to see him?”

“I told you, it’s complicated.”

“Nothing’s that fucking complicated.”

“Maybe for you,” she shot back angrily.

My mind raced as I stared her down. I needed to handle this carefully, but my frustration tinged my vision with red, making it hard to see anything but my need to gain her submission.

The lighter was in my hand before I knew it, and I flicked it open.

“Can you swear on your life he’ll never see it?”

“You wouldn’t.” She gaped at me.

“Baby, you have no idea the lengths I’d go to.”

She crossed her arms over her chest and narrowed angry blue eyes at me. “Fine, I swear no other man will see the lingerie.”

My smile was slow and lupine as it crept across my face.

“Wrong answer.”

She could try to sass me, but it wouldn’t get her far. The small flame barely kissed the thin black tissue before the hungry flame devoured the paper.

Lina’s jaw plummeted, her eyes going wide with horror. And was that … a touch of … sorrow mixed in?

Shit, I didn’t want to hurt her. I’d been trying to prevent that. Being near Wellington, clothed or not, was dangerous for her in so many ways.

I tossed the smoking bag away from us and caged her in against the stone wall, forcing her watery gaze to mine. “Look at me, Lina.”

Questions and uncertainty spun in her eyes like little blue whirlpools of chaos. “Why, Oran? Why are you doing this?”

Only an inch separated us, and my body screamed with the need to close the gap, so much so that my breath grew choppy and shallow.

“Because you need me to. You need my help, whether you want it or not.”

It should have been a lie—a line I fed to her to win her over—but instead, it rang with sincerity even to my own ears. Where she was concerned, my actions were no longer purely motivated by revenge. I didn’t know what that meant for me and didn’t want to think about it.

I lowered my face to hers, drawn by an invisible force impossible to ignore. My lips ghosted over her skin—her temple, her cheeks, her lips. I never touched her, though. I made sure of that. My body vibrated inside with restraint, but I kept control of myself.

Lina trembled beneath me.

Her lips parted a fraction, and I felt her warmth as her chest lifted and strained closer to mine. We lingered in a timeless moment of suspense, all the while the whisper of my words from the club echoing in the air around us.

Kiss me.

Kiss me.

Kiss me.

Like a needle to a balloon, chaos exploded when Lina launched herself at me, her lips colliding with mine and arms tugging me close.

Thank Christ.

I responded with equal abandon. Pulling her luscious body against mine and devouring her kiss. The sweep of her tongue along mine turned my cock to solid stone. It pressed so hard against my zipper I worried it would leave a permanent mark. My physical reaction to her was undeniable. What amazed me even more was my emotional response. The second her body melted into mine, I went feral with the need to own her. To possess her so thoroughly she forgot any other man had ever existed.

Her submission to the desire pulsing between us was a sign that I was making progress.

It made me ravenous for more.

The small glimpse of what it would be like to have her for myself had my world tilting on its axis. The breathless moan that snuck past her lips. The tug of her fingers in my hair. The nip of her teeth on my bottom lip.

How could kissing anyone else ever compare to this?

It was impossible.

She’d decimated my prior standards and permanently altered my perceptions. She’d marked me in a way that couldn’t be seen, but I knew it was there, and I’d be damned if I didn’t find a way to return the favor.

I hated how much I wanted her.

Release Day Blitz & Review…The Wildcat by Bella Matthews

The Wildcat by Bella Matthews is now live! 

What do you get when you mix a devastatingly handsome hockey player who doesn’t do casual with a blonde bombshell cheerleader who doesn’t do serious?

I was supposed to be taking the summer off from dating… and flirting… and men in general. A cleanse. It sounded good in theory. But theory went out the window when my own personal kryptonite sat on the bar stool next to mine.

Six feet, five inches of stacked muscle and chiseled features, he exuded a cocky confidence that was hard to miss and even harder to resist. This man was delectable. Like a decadent piece of chocolate cake, tempting me to indulge.

And that was before I knew how he tasted.

The rules were simple:

One night.

No names.

No strings.

Until my handsome stranger turned out to be the hot-as-sin star forward for the Philadelphia Revolution hockey team. A single dad with two adorable kids who tug at my heart strings, and a family almost as obnoxious as my own.

But Cross Wilder isn’t looking for a hookup.

And I’m not looking for a fairytale.

The question is — do I have a choice?

Loved Cross and Everly’s story.

The Wildcat was a perfectly-paced, romantic sports, romance story that will sweep readers right off their feet.

I loved how things were sizzling hot from the get-g0 but it wasn’t all physical. I truly enjoyed that we got to see these two get to know one another on a deeper level. The amount of respect Cross has for Everly and vice-versa, it just added to their already insane chemistry.

As perfectly paced as this was, I blew through the story in no time. It was definitely a page-turner and kept me engaged the entire time.

Highly recommend for anyone who loves a good romance.

Release Day Blitz…Serpentine Valentine by Giana Darling

They would pay for what was done to me, but none more than good girl, Luna Pallas.

Serpentine Valentine by Giana Darling  is now live! 

From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Giana Darling comes a sapphic, dark academia, Medusa retelling about a woman who was wronged by her idols and refused to pay the price without getting revenge…

I was born a woman.

Raised by women.

In love with women.

Until I enrolled at Acheron University, I’d never known much of men. I certainly didn’t know enough to fear them.

Then one stormy autumnal night, Professor Morgan tried to destroy me.

And when we were discovered by the university President, it was me who was punished for the unwanted seduction.

But they left me with two valuable lessons.

I would never let another woman be hurt by men again if I could help it.

And when someone hurts you, betrays you, and tries to rip out your soul, there is only one remedy for the pain.

Revenge.

And mine takes the form of the President’s very beautiful, very virginal, very straight daughter, Luna Pallas.

Before the end of term, I’ll destroy her innocence just as her mother and Professor Morgan destroyed mine.

Prologue 

Stevie 

“Hey,” I whisper as I enter the room for what I know is going to be the last time. 

“Hey, beautiful.” His red-rimmed eyes shine with honest emotion, conveying so much without words. “Come sit with me.” 

I walk quietly to the window and sit beside him, memorizing the stunning view I have always loved. 

He takes my hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. “I’m so sorry, Stevie.” 

“Me too.” 

“I never meant to hurt you.” 

“Nor I you.” 

“I was selfish and cruel and reckless with your feelings, and I won’t ever forgive myself for it.” 

“Forgive yourself,” I say without hesitation. “There’s been enough hurt, guilt, and blame.” I lean in and kiss his cheek with tears in my eyes. “I already forgive you.” 

“You shouldn’t.” 

“I love you and care deeply about you. That won’t ever change. A part of my heart will always belong to you.” Removing the jewelry he bought me for my last birthday, I place it on the coffee table, and it makes it final. Real. 

This is the last time we will ever see one another. 

As much as this needs to happen, it’s sad it has come to this. 

“But you love him more.” Pain underscores his words, and I hate I’m the cause of it. 

My inclination is to refuse to answer or deflect, but we’re not tiptoeing around one another anymore. “I do.” 

Agony flares in his eyes, and it hurts, but I’m not sorry I was truthful. 

“I will always love you,” he says as we stare at one another through blurry eyes. “It’s because I love you I am letting you go. We need to let what we had stay in the past and move forward along different paths. We’re very different people now.” 

“We are,” I acknowledge with a nod. “And it’s neither of our faults we have ended up here.” 

“I thought we would grow old and gray together,” he says with a sad smile. 

I’m not sure I did, but it’s hard to remember exactly what I was feeling at the time. “Things happen for a reason. Some lucky woman is out there waiting for you to find her. I hope she doesn’t have to wait too long.” 

He brings our conjoined hands to his mouth and brushes his lips across my knuckles. “I want you to be happy, and he’s your happy place. I see it now.” 

He is, and I hope it’s not too late to reclaim what we had. 

“I won’t ever forget you,” I say over a sob. “I will always cherish the time we shared. Be happy.” I swipe at the tears streaming down my face. “It’s all I want for you. Don’t ever stop fighting for that happiness because you deserve it.” 

I don’t protest or pull away when he leans forward and kisses me softly and briefly on the lips. 

It’s the only goodbye we can handle. 

I hug him for the last time, and then I get up and walk out the door and out of his life.

Ruby Rose declared me the enemy before I had a chance to defend myself.

I may be an attorney, but this girl had appointed herself judge and jury.   

And I’d never minded a good verbal sparring.

There was a comfort in going to battle against the evil queen.

Maybe it was just the recognition of one damaged soul to another.

But the more we fought—the more I craved her.

Until our arguing turned into a bit of a wager.

One I was determined to win.

One time. Sixty seconds. A secret only we would share.

I’d work my magic and she’d declare me the winner.

I’d gloat, she’d sulk—that was my plan.

She was determined to prove me wrong.

But from the minute we crossed the line, there was no turning back.

She was so far under my skin I couldn’t think straight.

Feeling things that I’d never felt before was one thing.

But knowing the clock was ticking was another.

Ruby Rose may have given me more than sixty seconds, but she wasn’t offering forever.

And now my world doesn’t work without her in it.

But how do I convince her to stay, when she already has one foot out the door?

Release Day Blitz & Review…Bride by Ali Hazelwood

Misery Lark has always felt like an outsider—as the daughter of a Vampyre councilman, she’s been volun-told to sacrifice her freedom and needs for the good of her kind for her entire life. The newest sacrifice? Upholding a historic peacekeeping alliance between the Vampyres and their mortal enemies, the Weres, by entering an arranged marriage with the Alpha Were. Wedding bells are ringing as Misery is whisked down the aisle to her betrothed, Lowe Moreland. Despite those broad shoulders, brooding stares, and extremely attractive looks, Lowe and Misery despise each other from the get-go. But Misery agreed to this for more than familial obligation and a white dress. Her human best friend, Serena, has been missing for weeks, and Misery has reason to believe she’s in Were territory. It’s impossible to figure out who she can—and can’t—trust…and it may take help from her newly declared “other half” to find her friend and make her heart whole once more.

I absolutely love Ali’s writing style and after reading her The Love Hypothesis series and seeing this was a paranormal story, I did not hesitate at all to jump on this one.

I truly don’t know what to say other than what keeps repeating in my head, “THIS IS BOOK IS FUCKING AWESOME!!”

Ali delivers a very entertaining paranormal romance about forced marriage. I FREAKING LOVE Misery and Lowe and their entanglement. Everything between them unfolded exceptionally well and left me wanting more each time.

This is completely outside Ali’s normal STEM based books but she knocks this book out of the park. Her writing ability is uncanny and I absolute love that I am so easily able to picture each scene in my head.

Bride is highly recommended paranormal read that anyone will enjoy.

Release Day Blitz…Legacy of Temptation by Larissa Ione

The legacy continues…

Legacy of Temptation, the must-read first book in the Demonica Birthright series from New York Times bestselling author Larissa Ione & Blue Box Press is now live!

Eva Tennant, like everyone at The Aegis, hates demons. But she loves her job as Deputy Spokesperson for the global demon-slaying organization, and she’s excited to be in the running for Chief Spokesperson. All she has to do is not screw up the two-week exchange program with The Aegis’s rival agency, the Demon Activity Response Team. But things go horribly wrong when a murder turns her into a fugitive from justice and puts a demonic target on her back.

Logan, son of the Horseman of the Apocalypse known as Death, has dedicated his life to fighting demons alongside his colleagues at DART. He loves fighting, females, and his pet hellhound, Cujo. What he doesn’t love is The Aegis, whose leadership attempted to slaughter him at birth. Understandably, he balks when he’s ordered to protect an Aegis Guardian responsible for the deaths of his friends. Really, he’d rather feed her to Cujo.

But when an old enemy rises from the ashes, Eva and Logan find themselves giving into temptation even as they sacrifice the things…and people…they love the most.

Keep reading for a look inside Legacy of Temptation!

Eva wasn’t sure what she’d expected the inside of DART’s main office building to look like, but a modern, brightly lit headquarters with a jungle-themed fountain in the lobby wasn’t it. Although the demon and angel statues eyeing each other with suspicion in the center of the spray weren’t all that unexpected.
Keeley had thrown a coin into the crystal pool out of some sort of superstition as they walked toward the auditorium where they now sat, waiting impatiently for someone to show up and give them the scheduled orientation.
“Of course, they’re late,” Carlos growled. “Go figure that a bunch of Aegis traitors can’t be trusted to handle shit efficiently.”
“Idiots,” Sig said, kicking the stage in front of him, leaving a dusty boot print.
Eva wasn’t so sure they were idiots, but this was definitely not a professional start to the cooperative mission.
The door near the back of the stage whispered open, and everyone went silent as a figure emerged from the shadows.
“Holy shit.” Keeley sounded a little breathless as she jabbed Eva in the ribs. “No way that guy is a demon. Angel for sure.”
Keeley wasn’t serious…probably…but Eva understood where she’d gotten the angel thing. The man who’d just entered the chamber was stunning. Really stunning. His wavy blond hair gleamed like a halo under the harsh stage lights, and ropy, thick muscles in his forearms flexed under tan skin as he strode across the stage. The strike of his combat boots echoed through the chamber, making her heart pound with every step. His black DART T-shirt was tucked into midnight tactical pants that cut a shadowy figure against the dark curtain behind him.
He gave them all a bored glance as he walked toward the mic. Seriously, he was going to use the mic to talk to a whopping six people?
She felt a little foolish when he strolled past the mic and plopped down on the edge of the stage, his long legs dangling over the side.
“My name is Logan,” he said in a deep, rumbling voice that made heat curl in her belly. “Apparently, I drew the short stick, and now I have to give you the DART 101 lecture. You probably don’t want to be here any more than I do, so here are the basics. DART stands for Demonic Activity Response Team. We formed thirty-five years ago when we broke off from The Aegis because, I dunno, let’s go with philosophical differences. Now, we’re doing this prisoner exchange thing, where people from DART hang out at Aegis headquarters, and you guys hang out here—”

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!!
