Review….Noble Prince by Devney Perry

Noble Prince by Devney Perry is now live!

The night Luke Rosen met Scarlett Marks was the only time he’s regretted becoming chief of police. One horrific night of blood and death, and now she’s living under his roof–all because he swore an oath to serve and protect.
Scarlett is stubborn and infuriating. She has no respect for the order in his structured life, and she never does anything she’s told. Worse, she doesn’t seem to care that the information she has on a motorcycle gang means she might end up dead. But her unwavering strength, her courage and tenacity and beauty, makes it impossible for him to abandon her.
If Luke is going to keep her safe, he’ll have to make the hardest decision of his life. He can either honor his values as a cop, knowing Scarlett is unlikely to survive . . . or he can break all the rules and protect the woman who’s invaded his home and his heart.

Excerpt

“If you’re not going to get out of the way, I’ll just go around.” I spun on my shoes, whirling the opposite direction, but when I went to take a step and carry my basket away, I suddenly found its weight missing from my arm. He’d stolen it from me before I’d had the chance to clutch it tight.

Then the world was spinning. The floors, the ceiling, everything flipped topsy-turvy.

I’d fainted.

No, that wasn’t right.

I was being carried. Hauled. That had been Luke’s threat and damn it, I’d underestimated him. The chief had made good on his word.

His shoulder dug into my belly as he walked. I lifted my face, pushing the hair out of my eyes. My basket of food sat exactly where I’d been standing. My chicken and rolls and cookies and chocolate milk. The items grew smaller with every one of Luke’s strides.

“Put me down.”

He kept walking.

“Put me down!” I shouted.

Still, he kept walking.

I lifted a hand and raised it above my head. My hair kept falling in front of my face, obscuring my vision, but that didn’t stop me from using every ounce of strength I had left. I brought my fist down on Luke’s lower back. Except my aim was shit so I didn’t hit his back. No, my fist bounced off his firm, perfect ass.

Luke didn’t so much as break his stride. “I promised Presley I’d keep you safe.”

And without another word, without stopping, he carried me in a fireman’s hold out of the grocery store and into the snow.

I was going back to the daisies, whether I wanted to or not.

Hello, Scarlett. I’m rock bottom.

Noble Prince is the fourth book in the Tin Gypsy series by Devney Perry.  This book picks up exactly where Stone Princess ended and yes, it can be read as a standalone, but I would highly discourage that.  There is underlying storyline that runs through each book and it’s also how it ties every single character together which just makes the books all the more gripping and enthralling.

Noble Prince is Luke and Scarlett’s story.  Luke is the Chief of Police and Scarlett is the twin sister of Presley.   If you read Stone Princess, then you’ll know Luke took Scarlett from Presley’s house and has been keeping her under his protection til he feels it is safe for her to be out on her own.  However, no-one knows that Scarlett is under Luke’s protection.  Everyone thinks he sent her on way and is keeping an eye out for her in other ways.

Noble Prince is much a slower paced story than the previous books.  But it has to be.  Scarlett has a danger past and is afraid to trust anyone.  Luke has to keep looking over his shoulder and be more vigilant than ever before to keep Scarlett safe and hidden.

I love how this story unfolds and plays out between Luke and Scarlett.  They are both attracted to one another but are cautious around one another for their own reasons.  Watching not only the chemistry build between them, but the trust and companionships just made it all the more real and authentic.  Scarlett really came into her own in this book and seeing Luke become stronger not only in who he is, but his job, added another layer to these characters

Devney does a phenomenal job of blending the romance with the suspense in this story.   Neither overshadowed the other, but played key parts throughout the story.  Each part of the story blended and flowed perfectly into one another, making the story seamless and fly by quicker than I anticipated.  It may be a slow-burn story but it is a quick read because of well it is written.

I cannot wait for the next book, Fallen Jester.  Devney has set this one up perfectly!

WOW. This book was so much more emotional than I anticipated. I am truly at a loss for words on this one. I am going to have a book hangover after this.

Reforming Kent is the tenth and finally book in the Kennedy Boys series. It may be a standalone, but I HIGHLY, HIGHLY urge readers to read these books in order.

I honestly have no idea what to say. Siobhan ripped me open with Kent’s story and my heart is flayed. The emotions she rocked me with are powerful and have left me breathless. To say I am emotionally wrecked is an understatement, but it’s a good thing.

Reforming Kent is a story of first loves and reveling in those feelings. It’s also confronting pain, hurt and anger from a past that was buried so deep that any attempt to move past it, brings those demons alive making the past become the present.

“Never forget that no one can save you if you don’t save yourself first.”

One thing I have loved and will always love is Siobhan’s ability to never sugarcoat or hold back on anything in her stories. What her characters endure are unfortunate realties and it makes these stories all that more raw and deep. I will say this – if you have a hard time dealing with abuse and rape, read this book with extreme caution. It will bring those horrors to life – trust me on this. But I will never fault Siobhan for making me feel so much; for many of us it is sometimes cathartic when we empathize with these characters.

I loved seeing Kent grow in so many ways in this book. He kept himself closed off to everyone and lost himself in booze, sex and drugs. Presley was a light he never expected and her aloofness and strength challenged him. Presley wasn’t about to be another notch on his bed post and Kent never gives up when he wants something. As these two move along in their friendship/relationship, they learn more about each other and it’s this connection that makes them inseparable. Presley is the perfect woman for Kent – she handles and understands him in ways even his family doesn’t. But their journey is not an easy one – it’s not one for the faint of hearts either.

Siobhan’s writing is flawless. She knows how to grip her readers at the right moment and keeps you engaged in the story the entire time. Her characters are authentic, real and unforgettable. This book, this whole series, is one I will never foret.

Siobhan – you won me over with your first book about Kyler and made me an insta-fan. With Kent, you’ve only strengthened my love for your writing, your characters and their stories. I am sad this series has to come and end, but I am forever grateful that you gave us the Kennedy Brothers. They are forever etched in my soul and this series will always be in my favorites.

Release Day Blitz & Review….The Bribe by Willa Nash

The Bribe by Willa Nash is now live!

Duke Evans didn’t expect to interrupt a beautiful woman in a staring contest with a bison on his favorite hiking trail. He also didn’t expect to see her again after rescuing her from the surly beast. As the sheriff in Calamity, Montana, he’s had his fair share of surprises but none as pleasant as pulling over a shiny black car and finding his mysterious hiking companion behind the wheel.
Only, she lied to Duke. She gave him a name as fake as her hair color. According to her driver’s license, her real name is Lucy Ross, the famous country music singer whose sudden disappearance has been a hot topic in the media over the past two weeks.
He’s not sure why Lucy lied about her identity or why she’s in Calamity. And she’s not talking. Instead, she offers him a bribe to keep her secret.
But Duke doesn’t want her money. He wants to know why this woman is on the run. And as long as the star shines on his badge, he’s going to find out.

The Bribe is a debut novel for Willa Nash, but it’s pen name for Devney Perry so we already knew we were in for an amazing story.

The Bribe is the perfect start to this small-town romance series.  We meet Duke and Lucy and a slew of other outstanding characters in this book and they will all win you over.  Duke and Lucy’s first meeting was quite unusual and truly quite entertaining.  They never thought they’d see one another again and just let it be.

When Lucy makes Calamity her new home – she gets more than she expected – Duke, who’s the sheriff of the town. Even from their first unexpected meeting, you could feel the chemistry between these two coming off the pages.  But what I loved even more, was Duke’s determination to find out more about Lucy and what brought her to Calamity.

I won’t say much as the blurb does the perfect job of setting you up.  Just know that Nilla delivers an exceptional small-town romance wth characters you will love.  I cannot wait to meet more of this town’s folks and see what happens next.  And Nilla has set us up for the next book perfectly!

BLURB:

I’ve fallen victim to a heinous act.

An act so vile, so downright dirty, that I’m not sure as a twenty-year-old man I’ll ever recover. Brace yourself, because what I’m about to tell you might have you gasping in secondhand horror.

Ready? Here it goes . . .

I’ve recently become the pawn of a meddling mom.

Yes . . . A MEDDLING MOM–who’s been trying to set me up all summer.

Now, I understand it’s not a crime for a mother to want her child to fall in love, but when she makes it her relentless MISSION, the heinous act should be classified as a misdemeanor at least.

Of course, my mom, the evil matriarch in the devil’s leggings, made her final stab at finding a girl for me days before I went back to college.

And I hate to admit it, but she saved a doozy for last.

A titan in black skinny jeans.

A boss of nonchalance.

And a girl who would not only turn my life upside down, but do it while juggling a soccer ball, looking effortlessly gorgeous around campus, and is one hundred percent against relationships. Of any sort.

Thanks, Mom.

TheSetup_teaser-9

PROLOGUE:

**LINCOLN**

I’ve fallen victim to a heinous act.

An act so vile, so downright dirty, that I’m not sure . . .

as a son,

as a member of society,

as a twenty-year-old man . . . I will ever recover.

Ever.

I see the concern in your eyes, your hand wandering up your chest to clutch the collar of your sensible cotton shirt, scared to find out the truth.

Brace yourself against something sturdy, because what I’m about to tell you might just knock you back on your ass in horror.

*Deep breaths, everyone*

I’ve recently become the pawn of a meddling mom.

Yup, you read that right. A MEDDLING mom.

The bane of a son’s existence.

I know what you’re wondering . . . what did she do? Make me pick up my socks during summer break?

*Eye-rolling*

*Woe is you*

*Grow up*

You grow up!

Ehhh, that was a little harsh. But before you go and put your judgy face on, you need to know the difference between a nagging mom and a meddling mom.

A nagging mom is one who storms into the living room while you’re trying to watch the series finale of Game of Thrones, complaining about the dishes in the sink you swore you’d take care of once you found out who took the throne.

Nag, nag, nag—part of the daily routine of the person who birthed you, or in this case, one of two moms who adopted me.

But a meddling mom, oh boy. They’re a fresh kind of hell wrapped up in high-waisted leggings and muted tunics. This isn’t some everyday mom who texts you GIFs of squirrels playing with a hula hoop. Nope, meddling moms have an agenda.

An agenda that they believe benefits their children. But it really benefits them . . . and only them.

In this case, my mom’s agenda: get Lincoln to fall in love.

I understand it’s not a crime for a mother to want her child to fall in love, but let me tell you. When she makes it her mission when you’re home from college, it should be classified as a misdemeanor.

That’s right, all freaking summer, my mom has made it her duty to set me up with girl after girl, all of whom she’s met in our hometown Kalamazoo, Michigan. I’d like to say I’m exaggerating that she made a list and set me up with every eligible girl—one by one—but I’m not.

I saw the Excel spreadsheet on her computer.

Girls who were highlighted in red were a no-go.

Girls in green still had a fighting chance.

Girls in yellow? Apparently, I had lukewarm interaction with them, but they showed promise.

Why is she so desperate for me to fall head over heels?

Can you believe she’s been spending time on the Internet, researching relationship statuses of major league baseball players? Well, she has. Too much time. And she said she didn’t want me to end up forty, about to retire, with nothing to say for my life other than that I was able to throw a ball off a mound.

She also wants a girl to fawn over.

When my mothers were adopting, Mom hoped for a girl, but Mama hoped for a boy. Don’t get me wrong, my mom loves me more than anything—hence the meddling and nagging—but she always wanted to do girly things with me, like have tea parties, get our toenails done, shit like that.

Side note: I’ve done the pedicure thing with her, and it’s not that bad.

But she wants a daughter, and apparently, a daughter-in-law is the next best thing.

Which brings me back to my summer of “not love.” I wanted nothing to do with these girls and after my mom’s eighth attempt to set me up—yes, eight—I told her enough was enough. I was done.

And thankfully she listened . . . until the last Saturday before I left for school.

The evil matriarch in the devil’s leggings made her final stab at finding a girl for me.

And I hate to admit it, but she saved a doozy for last.

A fucking titan in black skinny jeans.

A boss of nonchalance.

And a girl who will not only turn my life upside down, but do it while juggling a soccer ball, looking effortlessly gorgeous, and is one hundred percent against relationships. Of any sort.

Thanks, Mom.

*Thumbs up*

Your meddling has made me absolutely miserable.

Meghan Quinn writes another homerun with The Setup (pun intended).

I loved this story and the characters so much. I loved watching Indie and Lincoln go through their trials and tribulations of college then onto furthering their sports careers.

Indie and Lincoln are some of the most levelheaded yet, at times quite frustrating characters I’ve read in a while. Lol But that’s what made me love them; they have so many authentic and genuine character attributes, it’s impossible to not love them.

Meghan does a great job of blending the second characters into this story without any of those scenes or characters overtaking the story line. It just brings more depth to the story and allows you to see the characters in other aspects.

The Setup flows perfectly and Meghan allows things to happen naturally. The timeline in this book works so well and Meghan writes it beautifully. She blends the humor, sports and romance aspects of this book perfectly. Oh and the moms, love them so much. ❤

Meghan delivers another flawless story with characters that readers are going to fall in love with.

Review…A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire by Jennifer L. Armentrout

KFF- FB banner

“A perfectly woven tale rife with secrets, lies and seduction. Plenty of action with a perfect dose of snark. High Fantasy done the JLA way!” -Lily Alexander, author

A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire, the enthralling and epic second book in A Blood and Ash Series by New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout, is available now.

KingdomofFleshandFire ebook

Is Love Stronger Than Vengeance?

A Betrayal…


Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with. Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as him. The Dark One. The Prince of Atlantia. He wants her to fight him, and that’s one order she’s more than happy to obey. He may have taken her, but he will never have her.

A Choice….

Casteel Da’Neer is known by many names and many faces. His lies are as seductive as his touch. His truths as sensual as his bite. Poppy knows better than to trust him. He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to achieve his goals. But he’s the only way for her to get what she wants—to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel instead of against him presents its own risks. He still tempts her with every breath, offering up all she’s ever wanted. Casteel has plans for her. Ones that could expose her to unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain. Plans that will force her to look beyond everything she thought she knew about herself—about him. Plans that could bind their lives together in unexpected ways that neither kingdom is prepared for. And she’s far too reckless, too hungry, to resist the temptation.

A Secret…

But unrest has grown in Atlantia as they await the return of their Prince. Whispers of war have become stronger, and Poppy is at the very heart of it all. The King wants to use her to send a message. The Descenters want her dead. The wolven are growing more unpredictable. And as her abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen, the Atlantians start to fear her. Dark secrets are at play, ones steeped in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms that would do anything to keep the truth hidden. But when the earth begins to shake, and the skies start to bleed, it may already be too late.

Excerpt

“We go home to marry, my Princess.”
As in get married?
To him?
Suddenly, I thought of all those girlish fantasies I’d had before I learned who I was and what was expected of me—daydreams given life because of the love my parents had for one another.
Never once did those little-girl dreams include a proposal that wasn’t remotely an actual proposal. Nor did they incorporate it being announced at a table full of strangers, half of which wanted me dead. And those dreams surely hadn’t involved what had to be the kingdom’s worst—and possibly most insane—non-proposal of marriage to a man currently holding me captive.
Perhaps I had some sort of ailment of the brain. Maybe I was experiencing hallucinations brought on by stress. After all, there had been so much painful death to process. His betrayal to deal with. And I’d just learned I was descended from Atlantia, a kingdom I’d been raised to believe was the source of all the evil and tragedy in the land. Stress-induced hallucinations seemed a far more believable reason than what was actually happening.
All I could do was stare at the larger hand holding my much smaller one. His skin was slightly darker than mine as if kissed by the sun. Years of wielding a sword with deadly, graceful precision had left his palms callused.
He lifted my hand to an indecently well-formed and full mouth. To lips that were somehow soft yet unrelentingly firm. Lips that had spun beautiful words into the air and whispered heated, wicked promises against my bare skin. Lips that had paid homage to the many scars that riddled my body and face.
Lips that had also spoken blood-soaked lies.
Now, that mouth was pressed against the top of my hand in a gesture that I would’ve cherished for an eternity and thought exquisitely tender just days or weeks ago. Simple things like hand-holding or chaste kisses had been forbidden to me. As were being wanted or feeling desire. I had long since accepted that I would never experience those things.
Until him.
I lifted my gaze from our joined hands, from that mouth that was already curving up on one side, hinting at a dimple in the right cheek, and from the slowly parting lips that revealed just a hint of fatally sharp fangs.
His hair brushed the nape of his neck and toppled over his forehead, and the thick strands were such a deep shade of black, it often shone blue in the sunlight. With high and angular cheekbones, a straight nose, and a proud, carved jaw, he often reminded me of the large, graceful cave cat I had seen once in Queen Ileana’s palace as a child. Beautiful, but in the way all wild, dangerous predators were. My heart stammered as my eyes locked onto his, orbs a shade of stunning, cool amber.
I knew I was staring at Hawke—

A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire is the second book in Armentrout’s Blood and Ash series. It starts off exactly where From Blood and Ash ended and if I dare say, is even more intriguing than the first one.

AKoFaF has even more character development and world building to keep in stride with the high fantasy genre. However, it’s needed to keep the plot moving along. Armentrout does a really phenomenal job of having the deep world building and time frame blend into the story line and add to it, instead of just coming across as filler. The depth is needed in order to understand the entire plot and what is to happen.

Poppy and Cas/Hawke are now thrown into a whole new scenario with them each having their own agenda but they somehow intertwine with the other. There is also this building chemistry between them that is going to blow up at any given moment. There is a lot of suspense not only in the plot, but in the underlying pull between Poppy and Cas. The angst is unreal in this book. It’s amazing to see Poppy learn more about herself and her abilities. We also get to delve deeper into Cas and who he is.

Along with Poppy and Cas, Armentrout has written some amazing secondary characters that add another layer to the story and brings some amusing moments to the story. Cas and Kiern have this bromance that is quite entertaining yet so endearing. It shows another side to who Cas is and has readers loving him even more.

While there is still a lot of world building in this book, readers will see a lot more action in this book. The pace is a lot smoother and things move a much faster pace. I think a lot of that is because there’s better balance in this book between the world building, the action scenes and the interactions between characters.

Armentrout always knows how to pull her readers in, keep them vested not only in the story but the characters and leaves them waiting with bated breath. We do get answers in this book, but we find ourselves having some many more new ones. I for one, cannot wait to see what the next brings us and how this all comes together.

Bravo Jennifer. You have written another top rated book to add your never-ending pile of top sellers.

Release Day Blitz & Review….Behind the Plate by J. Sterling

 

The most anticipated J. Sterling release of the year is finally here! You’ve waited years to meet Jack Carter’s son and the wait is over! Strap in and enjoy the ride. 

 



Chance Carter is the son of local baseball legend, Jack Carter. Now in his junior year at Fullton State, Chance is facing challenges he never saw coming. Failing a class will stop his draft season short, making him ineligible to play and pushing his goal of professional baseball even further away.

In steps Danika, a mouthy tutor from New York, who only wants to help him pass his class… NOT get in his pants. But try telling that to Chance.  He doesn’t trust girls and he definitely doesn’t trust his new tutor.  A lifetime growing up as a Carter taught him that.

But Danika has issues of her own.  After an incident that happened last year, she doesn’t trust athletes and wants nothing to do with them. And Chance is no exception.

The fireworks explode as the two try to deny the chemistry between them and family secrets are revealed. Chance doesn’t know how to give up on something he wants and he’s decided he wants Danika. There’s just one problem… she has a boyfriend she has no intention of breaking up with.

How can he have her when she belongs to someone else?

Meet J.

This book definitely lived up to its hype!!! Chance Carter was everything I had hoped for and more!!

I absolutely devoured this book in one sitting. I didn’t want it to end but I also couldn’t read it fast it enough!!

Chance is the son of Jack F&%#in’ Carter from The Perfect Game series. Even if you never read the series (you will want to after you read this book), you will fall in love with Chance. Chance has put off one math course most of his college career because it’s not his strong suit but he needs to pass this class in order to play baseball.

Enter Danika – she is the only tutor on their college campus that has the ability to help Chance pass this class. However, after a bad incident involving another athlete the previous year, Danika wants nothing to do with athletes. She is feisty, holds nothing back and has no problem holding her own in any situation.

Yea – as much as these two try to deny the explosive chemistry that’s immediately felt, it’s impossible to ignore. But oh do they try. Danika has a boyfriend, one she’s been with for quite a few years. And Chance refuses to ever be someone who ruins another relationship.

Jenn writes a very angsty, raw, honest and real story. The interactions amongst all the characters, main and secondary, is very authentic. I loved how real these characters came across. They were honest in their feelings, accepted where they went wrong but were not overly dramatic for the sake of the story. These characters were just so genuine and real. I laughed, applauded and cheered so much throughout this book.

I loved every single bit of this story. There is not one thing I would change – NOTHING!!! I want to blab so much about this book but I don’t want to give anything away. This book is AMAZING!!! And I love how Jenn stealthy builds her next character up within this story without pulling away from the main plot. I cannot wait for Mac’s book and where his story go.

Jenn – Chance totally stole my heart and nailed this one out of the park (pun intended)!!


I’m a New York Times and USA Today best selling author of over 18 books! My goal is to write stories that you can get lost in, that will leave a smile on your face and a full heart. If you can forget about the real world while you’re reading and fall in love with my characters, then I’ve done my job. A lot of what I write has real life aspects in it, but that’s what makes the stories so relateable- the fact that they could happen to anyone… and have!

I live in California with my only son, Blake. If you can’t find me sitting behind a computer screen, then there’s a good chance I’m sitting in the bleachers of a baseball stadium watching him play. I love traveling to new places, meeting my readers and living life with the Real Jack Carter. ♡

I know you have a million books to choose from and I am humbled, grateful and thankful each time you choose to read one of mine, or tell someone else to read them. Thank you.

Blurb:
He was my foster brother.
He swore to protect me.
He failed.
They all failed.
I’m an open box of passé photographs, snapped in chaste daylight, but filtered in sepia. I’m the past that he tried to forget, and he was the future I needed. When he left six years ago, I screamed for him every night. But then it all stopped. My screams were suddenly muffled by cruelty, and further coaxed by pain.
But he has come back. He’s not the cute big brother I had a furtive crush on, or the bad boy, rich brat that I hated to love.
He’s the ruthless vice president of Wolf Pack MC, and he doesn’t answer to Royce Kane anymore.
He answers to Sicko.


First off, Amo – I am taking you up on that drink when we meet. WOW!!!

Second, you may have outdone yourself with this one. BRAVO!!

Third, this book will not be for everyone (but I highly urge everyone to read it). It is dark and twisted and a lot to digest. But it’s a fucking amazing book. I am blown away by how this story played out.

Intense. Hauntingly disturbing. Thrilling in multiple ways. Unimaginable. All-encompassing.

Those are just a few of the words that describe this book for me I have read a lot of dark and sinister books in my life. However, this is one that will stand out amongst all the others because of how well developed and well written this book is.

I really have no idea where to begin. I finished this book yesterday and I still can’t stop thinking about this book. Amo – you have left me speechless with this one. This book was so much more than I have ever anticipated.

This book is not for the faint of heart, but it will make you feel empowered by the time you finish it. There was so much that I had not anticipated when I read this book; the emotions, the unexpected ah-ha moments and the plot – WOW!! This book is a journey!! I will not give you one iota of details because you must experience this book without any prior knowledge of what happens.

Royce, AKA Sicko and Jade, AKA Duchess will notch themselves into your heart and soul. Their story is one for the books. It will stay with you long after you finish it and have you feeling as though you truly walked the path of these characters.

This book is edgy, thrilling and sexy all mixed into one dark thriller. You truly do not want to miss out on this one.

About the Author:
Amo Jones is a USA Today & Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, totally winging this author thing (she’s probably doing it all wrong). She likes cake, loves wine, and her religion is magic (Slytherin). She’s a profound work-a-holic, but when she’s not writing, you can find her chilling with her kids & Husband at the nearest beach, with a cocktail in her hand.
New Zealand is not a state of Australia and rugby is the best sport ever played.

Review…Ritual by Kandi Steiner

“If Gossip Girl and Riverdale had a love child, it would be PSU.” — #1NYT Bestselling Author Rachel Van Dyken

Ritual by bestselling author Kandi Steiner is now live! 

Written like your favorite drama television show, the Palm South University series has been called “a mix of Greek meets Gossip Girl with a dash of Friends.” Follow seven college students as they maneuver unrequited love, teacher/student romance, the tangles of “no strings” relationships, love triangles and more. Each “season” has six “episodes,” and just like when your favorite show hits Netflix, you can read just one episode at a time or binge the entire thing. With the perfect mix of angst, emotional romance, and romantic comedy, the Palm South University series is your next guilty addiction.

Drama. Lies. Sex.

Welcome to Palm South University.

The weather isn’t the only thing heating up in South Florida. At a school where fraternities and sororities don’t exactly play by the rules, relationships are bound to be tested. Parties and sex are definitely key ingredients in the Palm South recipe, but what happens when family issues, secret lives, and unrequited love get tossed in the mix?

Follow Cassie, Bear, Jess, Skyler, Erin, Ashlei, and Adam as they tackle college at a small, private beach town university. Written in television drama form, each episode of this serial will pull you deeper and deeper into the world of PSU.

Where the sun is hot and the clothes are scarce, anything can happen.

Excerpt:

“Do you have pole tomorrow?” he asks, checking his side mirror before he pulls onto the road.

“No, I need a rest day.”

“And it’s Sunday, so you wouldn’t have class, right?”

My suspicion rises. “No… but I do have Chapter at six.”

“Chapter…” he muses, side-eyeing me with a grin. “Damn sorority.”

I smack his arm playfully.

“Do you think you could skip it, just this once?”

“Probably not without a death threat from Ex,” I say seriously. “But… what are you proposing?”

We pull up to a red light, and Brandon bites his lip before turning to me. “The Bahamas.”

“The Bahamas?!”

“The Exumas, technically.”

“The Exumas,” I repeat, sounding like a freaking parrot at this point. “You’re proposing we go to the Exumas tonight,” I clarify. “As in… the place where you swim with pigs.”

“I was thinking more like the place where I fuck you on my yacht and drink fruity cocktails out of coconuts with you on the beach,” he says on a smirk, and the light turns green, making him turn back to the road with a shrug. “But if you’d rather swim with pigs…”

I laugh, shaking my head at the ridiculousness of it. I’m tempted to say We can’t just go to the fucking Bahamas, Brandon, but I know that’s a lie.

He has a yacht.

And more money than he knows how to spend.

Technically, we can go to the Bahamas.

I’m quiet for a long while, and Brandon glances at me from the corner of his eye before pulling into a random restaurant parking lot. It’s a Mexican diner, not even open yet, since it’s only ten in the morning. When he’s parked, he turns to me, grabbing my hands and pulling them into his lap.

“Look, we’ve both been busy this summer — you with your exec position in the sorority, and pole… me with this national client we’re in the bidding war for… both of us working hard at Okay, Cool after everything that went down in the spring with Kim… and now, school is back in session, it’s the last semester before you graduate, we’re both hard at work, and I just…”

He smooths his dark thumbs over my wrists, his eyes that are usually so intense, soft and vulnerable now.

“This might be our last chance to spend some real, quality time together before life gets even crazier than it already is.”

My heart melts into a puddle right there on the floorboard of his expensive ass car, and I lean over the console, kissing him long and hard.

“Let’s go to the Bahamas,” I whisper between kisses. “You’re right. Everything else can wait.”

He sighs, wrapping his arms around me until he’s pulling me into his lap. I squeal and laugh, but then my next breath is stolen by the erection growing in his slacks.

“This would be a lot easier on the yacht,” I say, rubbing the seam of my leggings against his hard-on.

“Maybe,” he says, sucking on my bottom lip and releasing it with a pop. His lips trail down my neck as my head rolls back. “But these windows are tinted, and you’re sexy when you say I’m right.”

Ritual is the fifth installment in the PSU series.  Yes, these books must all be read in order.  Each book has six episodes in them and the episodes give you POV from each of the characters.  It truly reads like you watching a show play out in front of you.  It is my guilty pleasure summer read and I cannot get enough of these characters.

When it comes to the PSU series, I never have a problem devouring these books in one sitting.  I get so caught up in the all drama, the inner workings of sororities and fraternities along with the dynamics between everyone.  This series is one of my top 5 favorites written and we aren’t done yet!!

Ritual is the start of a new semester for all these college kids.  Some will be graduating this semester and while others have another year or so to go.  Many have grown in new ways while others are still trying to find their way.

I normally go through each character but realize all that does is summarize what happens and that takes away from the experience when a readers knows it is going to happen.  Just know that there is a lot that goes on and being that Kandi is queen of angst, she does not let us down in that department at all.

I will tell you these few things:

Cassie  – she surprises me and comes across as somewhat selfish in how she handles a situation.  

Adam – that boy a heart of gold.  That’s all I am saying

Jess- she has me fist-bumping her and cheering her on.

Asheli – girl shocked me. I am torn up on this one.

Skyler – love her so much!!

Bear – he made me the most emotional this time around.  I want to bearhug him so hard.

Erin – I am still undecided on her.  She’s the one I struggle with the most.


As always – just when we think things are going to go one way, Kandi tosses in a few stumbling blocks.  Now we are left on bated breath wondering what happens with these seven college friends in the future.

PSU is a series that everyone needs to binge read.  You can thank me later.  😉

When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, talking with her extremely vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys live music, traveling, anything heavy in carbs, beach days, movie marathons, craft beer and sweet wine — not necessarily in that order.

Release Day Blitz & Review….Quarter Miles by Devney Perry

QUARTER MILES (Runaway #3)
Release Date: July 21st
Purchase Details: www.devneyperry.com/books/quarter-miles

Katherine Gates has been in love with Cash Greer since the moment he saved her life from a runaway goat. According to Cash, she’s the little sister he never had, the greatest roommate in the world and his favorite coworker. They’re friends—best friends.

In the dark days of her youth, it was her friendships that kept her alive and made life in a junkyard worth living. So she’s learned to shove her feelings for Cash down deep, even if that means ignoring eyes that shine brighter than the Montana summer sun and the smile that illuminates the snowiest winter day.

Except with every passing year, the denial takes its toll on her wounded heart until one day Katherine decides to take an impulsive road trip to the Oregon coast. Alone. That is, until Cash cons his way into the passenger seat.

The farther they travel, the harder it is to pretend. And when she confesses her feelings, she learns that Cash has some secrets of his own. Secrets that will either bond them together. 

Or rip them apart.

I truly cannot get enough of this series!!!  Devney has hit a goldmine with this one!!  Each book can be easily read as a standalone without any problems.  However, I think most readers will find that reading them in order is even more enjoyable.

This series is about a group of runaways that became friends when they found a home living together in a junk yard.  They are all grown and moved on with their own lives.  However, it’s a car that slowly bringing them all back together one road trip at a time.

Quarter Miles is Katherine’s journey as she tries to find herself and what she truly wants in life.  She has never felt the need to look anywhere since she arrived at the Greer’s lodge so many years ago.  She has found a home there and truly never thought she’d leave.  But knowing her best friend will never see her as more, she jumps at the chance to escape and take the Cadillac to its next destination.  Except her best friend has other ideas – he’s coming along.

This title if more fitting than you know.  Quarter Miles is one hell of an emotional story and I loved every bit of it.  I enjoyed watching both Cash and Katherine become aware of so much about each other and themselves.  Devney gives her characters depth and that just makes the reader even more vested in these characters and their story. 

I enjoyed every singled thing about this book and I wont give away anything else about it.  This book will have you glued to the pages from start to finish.  You will love these characters and the wonderful places they visit.  Not going to lie – if these places exist in RL, I would love to visit them.  Devney makes them that real – hell, they could be or based on real life places. 

Quarter Miles is another hit in the Runaway series and I cannot wait to read the next one!  I am already ready to dive into that story.

EXCERPT

“Why did you turn the air on?” she asked, looking above us to the open air.
“I’m hot.” Desperate. What would it take for her to put on a goddamn sweater? “Are you wearing sunscreen?”
“Uh, no.” She gave me a sideways glance. “Why?”
“You’re going to get burned.” Get the sweater, Kat. You know you want to.
“I’ll be fine. At the next gas station, I’ll grab a bottle for us.”
Us. Why did that word sound so serious? It wasn’t the intimate kind of us. There was no us. Not in the couple sense of the word. Did I want there to be an us?
Yes.
That lightning-fast internal response nearly had me slamming on the brakes, turning this car around and going back to Montana, where the world was normal.
Kat was my friend. My best friend. Roommate. Coworker. Pseudo sibling. There were days when I’d trade Easton for her permanently. Okay, any day. There were plenty of ways to label our relationship and us was not one.
I could not—would not—tear down the boundaries that nearly a decade and firm family reminders had put in place.

Twisted Circles by Claire Contreras….Excerpt & Review

Twisted Circles by  New York Times bestselling author, Claire Contreras, is now live!

When someone tells you who you are, do you believe them?

The first question the cops asked me was if anything out of the ordinary happened to me lately.

When I woke up this morning in the room of a mental institution I couldn’t remember a thing – not my name nor how I got there. Not how I left or how I ended up in that interrogation room.

The only thing I knew came from the contents inside my bag. A wallet, a student ID, a key that opened an unknown door, and two notebooks.

They tell me my name. It matches my IDs.

They tell me my story. I shut my eyes and try to piece it together, but can’t.

They tell me why they picked me up in the first place. They thought I was my sister. My brain stays stuck there. I try to rewind and fast-forward, as if my memories were on a videotape, but it’s no use. I can’t recall having a sister.

They put me back in the car and drop me off in front of a mansion they call The Manor and I discover what the mysterious key in my backpack opens the front door, and just as quickly wish I’d never unlocked it at all.

Twisted Circles is a complete standalone that takes place in the same “world” as Half-Truths.

Excerpt

 “What the hell did I just see?” My voice was hoarse, the screams I’d contained ripping the tone from it.

“I don’t know.”

“What do you . . . ” I shook my head, covering my face. “You’re not going to tell me. You wouldn’t tell me. You’re the president of this freakish cult. Of course you wouldn’t tell me.”

“I don’t know.” His voice carried and brought my gaze back to his. “I really don’t know.”

“I don’t believe you.”

“That’s too bad.” He shook his head. “It doesn’t change the fact that I’m not lying.”

“I should have left with your brother.”

“My brother?” His expression turned serious. He glanced away for a long moment, staring at the portrait beside us. I had no idea who it was, but it was a man wearing a black little hat and a cross. A priest of sorts. Adam looked at me again. “My brother can’t help you.”

“And you can?” I nodded toward the back of the room. “You won’t even tell me why I just saw what I saw.”

“I don’t know the answer to that.” His jaw set.

“Your brother said you were going to bury me.”

“What else did Nolan decide to tell you?”

“Not much.”

“He shouldn’t have spoken to you. He knows better.”

“Free country and all.”

“Not in here.” Adam’s lip tilted. “You’re under our command in here.”

“Are you going to do to me what they’re doing to that woman?”

“No.”

“Are you going to bury me?” I swallowed, waiting.

“Yes.”

Yes. No hesitation.

“Are . . . are you going to kill me?”

“No.”

“You’re going to bury me alive?”

“Yes.”

Again, no hesitation. My heart skipped. Where was I and who were these people? I realized that I could scream, I could punch him, I could try to run, but I wouldn’t get very far.

“Is that part of the initiation?” I licked my lips, mentally preparing myself.

“Yes.”

“Were you buried?”

“We all were.”

“Has anyone died?” My lip quivered again. I blinked my eyes, more tears fell. I wiped them quickly.

He didn’t answer, but with the way his lips set into a hard line, he didn’t have to. 

Claire delivers another mind-blowing, suspenseful story.  Twisted Circles is just that – a lot of twists and with everything circling back to one another.  WOW!

Twisted Circles is a standalone in the Secret Society series and is told in dual POVs.  You don’t need to read the first to read this one or have any background on anyone or anything to have a full understanding of what is happening.  Readers are thrown back into the college environment with the many different secret groups with a lot of suspense and twists.

I love that Claire focused more on the psychological aspects, the inner workings of the secret society and how all of that is intertwined. However, it is the mystery surrounding Eva that I loved the most about this book.  Claire plotted this out beautifully. I enjoyed how things unraveled yet opened another door.  It kept me glued to the pages and had me constantly trying to work things out.

Claire does a phenomenal job of keeping readers interested in the Secret Societies and wanting to know more about them.  I love how she brings in things from her own personal experience to enhance the story.  I love that this story is just as fresh as the first one.

Twisted Circles is the perfect suspense story with a touch of romance to keep her romance fans pleased. But for us suspense readers, you will love that this book is highly focused on the suspense and the romance blends in but never overtakes anything.  Bravo, Claire!!

Not Like the Movies by Kerry Winfrey…ARC review

Book links:

Amazon | Goodreads | B&N | iBooks

About the book:

In a sequel from the POV of Annie’s best friend Chloe, a story about finding love in the most obvious-yet-not-so-obvious place. Chloe Sanderson is an optimist, and not because her life is easy. She is the sole caregiver for her father, who has early-onset Alzheimer’s, and pretty much responsible for everything. She has no time—or interest—in getting swept up in some dazzling romance. Not like her best friend, Annie, who literally wrote a rom-com that’s about to premiere in theaters across America . . . and happens to be inspired by Chloe and her cute but no-nonsense boss, Nick Velez.

As the buzz for the movie grows, Chloe reads one too many listicles about why Nick is the perfect man, and now she can’t see him as anything but Reason #4: The scruffy-bearded hunk who’s always there when you need him. But unlike the romance Annie has written for them, Chloe isn’t so sure her own story will end in a happily-ever-after.

My Review:

After LOVING the first book in this series, and falling in love with this cast of characters, I was beyond excited to get my hands on this next installment and let me just say…it was AMAZING!

Chloe and Nick are the perfect enemies-to-lovers couple and have more than a few struggles to go through, both together and apart, that make their story so touching. I had been rooting for them since the first book in t series and loved reading their journey. It was sweet, heartwarming, raw, and real. Loved these two!

If you’re looking for great weekend read to enjoy poolside this summer, this is a book for you! And be sure to pick up the first in the series, Waiting For Tom Hanks. Also, a fab read!
