PERFECTION!!

How do I review this book and not give anything away!?! Pam truly knows how to deliver a story to her readers that is jaw dropping and absolutely engaging from start to finish.

Heart of Frost and Scars is the third and final book in her Frozen Fate series. You MUST read these books in order. This book starts off exactly where Cage of Ice and Echoes ended and readers are immediately thrusted back into the lives of our four amazing characters.

Just when you thought Pam could not throw anything more at us, she shocks us all with this book. I absolutely the new twists in this book and it just keeps readers write at the edge, wondering what is going to happen next.

This entire series is mangled up in a web of twists and turns that’s riddled with lies, deceit and deception. I have been left gasping so many times but also in awe of Frankie too. This series definitely puts your emotions through the ringer.

Highly, highly recommended series. It’s very dark in many ways, but so incredibly well written and one that no reader should pass up.

OF HEARTBREAK AND HARMONY

Brit Benson

Release Date: August 16

Blurb:

He burned me once.

This time, I won’t be the one consumed by the flames.

Torren King is rock-and-roll’s broodiest bachelor.

Mysterious, moody, and coveted by nearly everyone.

But to me, he’s just the sad boy who set fire to my heart,

then reduced me to ashes in the desert.

For four sweltering nights, I burned for him,

and he conquered my heart one whispered lyric at a time.

But on the fifth night, he shattered me in the way only a flawless rock god can:

irreparably, and with devastating finesse.

Four years later, the last place I expect to be is sitting before him,

reading through a contact with a pen poised in my fingertips.

A favor for a favor, he says.

A US tour and a fake relationship in exchange for the answer to all my problems.

I hate him. I hate that I need him.

And what I hate the most?

He doesn’t remember me. At all.

But despite the burning chemistry between us,

the rapidly blurring lines and the suffocating attraction,
he’s still the rock star who ruined me,

and I refuse to let myself forget.

***

Of Heartbreak and Harmony is the second standalone in The Hometown Heartless series. It has a guaranteed HEA. It is not necessary to read Between Never and Forever before reading Of Heartbreak and Harmony.

Brit Benson writes real, relatable romance. She likes outspoken, independent heroines, dirty talking, love-struck heroes, and plots that get you right in the feels.

Brit would almost always rather be reading or writing. When she’s not dreaming up her next swoony book boyfriend and fierce book bestie, she’s getting lost in someone else’s fictional world. When she’s not doing that, she’s probably marathoning a Netflix series or wandering aimlessly up and down the aisles in Homegoods, sniffing candles and touching things she’ll never buy.

Review Blitz…Tempting by Bella Matthews

Tempting by Bella Matthews is now live!

A little white lie never hurt anyone . . . or so I thought.

One fake date and we’d go our separate ways, at least that’s how hockey’s hottest golden boy—Nixon Sinclair—convinced me this would work. But it turns out, Nix had other plans.

Now I’m sneaking around with my brother’s teammate, refusing to admit he’s everything I want but never knew I needed.

Irresistibly dirty mouth—Check.

Panty-meltingly possessive—Check. Check.

Toe-curling lessons in the bedroom—Check. Check. Triple Check.

But when fun leads to feelings, our little white lie starts to feel a little too real.

And if I’m not careful, I’ll be the one hurt in the end.

AHHHH!! We finally get Kenzie’s story and it is perfection!!!

If you have read any of the books from the previous series (Playing To Win series), then you would met Kenzie briefly. You don’t need to read those books to know her story as Bella does a great job of giving delivery Kenzie’s fully story in this book.

Kenzie is back home after a whirlwind education and finds herself working for her aunt at her medical facility as an OBGYN. Kenzie has always been focused on her studies and career – it’s been her life and she zero regrets on that.

Nixon and Kenzie have known each other for years and years, and have always been in the same circle of friends – hanging out, doing whatever. These two never really saw past the friendship in one another. At least one of them never really let on that they crushed on them, big time, growing up.

And that is all that I am saying about the book itself. Bella created two characters that could not be more different, yet similar and oh-so-right for one another. I love that Kenzie and Nixon challenge one another in different ways, but bring out the best in one another too.

Tempting is the perfect book to start off this new series and I cannot wait for the next one!

Release Day Blitz & Review…Rally by Devney Perry

Rally by Devney Perry is now live!

An accidental pregnancy, small town, sports romance from Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author, Devney Perry.

Pregnant. Homeless. Broke. Not what I’d expected for my senior year in college. Neither was Rush Ramsey.

We met the day I went camping and got stranded on the side of a gravel road. I didn’t believe in white knights who freed damsels in distress. Life had taught me that if something bad could happen, it probably would. The only person who would save me was me.

But Rush Ramsey rescued me that day. He was sweet and kind and charming. He made a dark, starry night a little less lonely.

I should have realized it was too good to be true. That an incredible night of passion would come with consequences. That the bad luck rollercoaster I’d been riding for twenty-one years wasn’t ready to stop.

Because Rush Ramsey, Treasure State University’s most eligible bachelor and quarterback extraordinaire, just got me pregnant.

At this point, I don’t think there isn’t any story, any trope, any whatever that Devney Perry can’t write and make it a 5 star read.

Rally is the third book in her Treasure State Wildcats series and another phenomenal read. Rush and Faye’s story was so much more emotional than I anticipated and that’s all because of Devney’s amazing writing talent.

The pacing of this story, the way things transpired and progressed was so natural and everything felt so real and authentic. I connected with Faye in ways I had not expected and Rush just blew me away with his patience, compassion and empathy.

Devney gives her readers a beautiful and heartfelt college romance story that will melt your heart.

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!

Review…Mating Season by Kitty Thomas

Pop Quiz: You’re a woman alone in the forest… would you rather run into a man or a bear?

I’m lost out in the woods when I cross paths with a strange man. He offers to take me back to his campsite, feed me, get me warm, but every instinct in me screams NO!

He is an opportunistic predator, and I am his prey.

I run. He chases. And just before I’m traumatized for life, I hear a loud roar as a seven hundred pound Grizzly bear rips the man off me and mauls him to death.

So…. Team Bear?

If only it were so simple. This isn’t just any normal bear. He’s a bear shifter, and he’s convinced I’m his fated mate.

I appreciate the life saving and all, but I have goals and dreams, and I won’t allow fate to play matchmaker for me, no matter how otherwise appealing the shifter in question may be.

Amazon: https://amzn.to/4dienJ0

Entertaining & fast-paced shifter story based on the question, “You’re a woman alone in the forest…would you rather run into a man or a bear?”

This is definitely on the lighter side of Kitty Thomas but just as entertaining. I had been reading alot of deep, emotional reads and this was the perfect “palate cleanse” for me and it was so good too.

Mating Season was the perfect blend of humor, fated mates and the right touch of steam with how quick of a read it is.

Highly recommended read!

Release Day Blitz & Review…Frisco by Tijan

Frisco by Tijan is now live!

Tall. Muscled. Tattooed.

Shane King was seriously hot, and seriously not a good guy.

He went by the name Ghost with his motorcycle club, and he was now their national vice president.

When Shane and his club arrived in town, they began doing favors for my family.

I didn’t know why. I didn’t want to know.

Favors came with strings attached. I didn’t want strings attaching me to the Red Demons.

Shane was a different beast, though.

I should steer clear of him, except I couldn’t.

He was everywhere, and he always looked like he wanted to tie me up in all sorts of strings.

A part of me wanted to let him.

A part of me yearned to let him.

But no.

Shane might act like the hero, but he wasn’t.

He was the villain.

And I was about to learn that the strings that came with Shane…

…they would be my unraveling.

First book I have read in one day because I could not put this down!!!

I love anything by Tijan because she delivers her stories with depth and characters that grip you, hard. Frisco is just another perfect example of her talented writing skills.

Frisco is a full standalone MC romance and Tijan delivers this one perfectly.

I loved everything about this book; the pacing, plot development, characters and their interactions. This story is told from both Shane and Kali’s POV and this allows readers to see the connection between the FMC and her friends and family and the MMC and his club/friends/family.

I loved how natural this story was. Tijan stayed true to her characters, their mannerisms, who and what they are and that just added to this very well plotted out story. I love the depth of this plot and all the intricacies littered throughout the story.

My favorite, unexpected part – Kali’s dad, he was the icing on the cake. Chef’s kiss

Another phenomenal story from Tijan.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Catch the Sun by Jennifer Hartmann

Catch the Sun by Jennifer Hartmann is now live!

A brand new YA standalone survivor romance from Jennifer Hartmann, the fan-favorite author of Still Beating, Lotus, and June First, packed with the same light-in-the-dark hope for healing in the face of tragedy. Perfect for fans of If He Had Been With Me, A Thousand Boy Kisses, and Binding 13.

“Kissing you feels like catching the sun…”

At seven years old, Ella Sunbury and Max Manning were inseparable—until life scattered them in different directions, forcing Ella to abruptly leave town. A decade later, she returns for their senior year of high school, moving in across the street from her childhood best friend.

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.

Max has little room for distractions, juggling responsibilities for a disabled father and a distant twin brother. But Ella’s return reignites something within him. He wants to be close to her again, to understand her…and to turn their friendship into more.

But as their relationship blossoms, new tragedy strikes, and darkness threatens to tip their delicate balance. In order to find the light, they’ll have to navigate the shadows.

And to catch the sun…they must first endure the flames.

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.

Meet Jennifer

Jennifer Hartmann resides in northern Illinois with her own personal romance hero and three children. When she is not writing angsty love stories, she is likely pondering all the ways she can break your heart and piece it back together again. She enjoys sunsets (because mornings are hard), bike riding, traveling, bingeing Buffy the Vampire Slayer reruns, and that time of day when coffee gets replaced by wine. She loves tacos. She also really, really wants to pet your dog.

Release Day Blitz & Review…False Start by Kandi Steiner

False Start by Kandi Steiner is now live!

Kyle Robbins: Seattle’s rookie tight end and the first boy to break my heart.

Oh, did I mention he’s also my new client… and fake boyfriend?

I thought I left Kyle and our complicated past behind me, but when he saunters up as my new client at a house showing, I’m quickly reminded how much he still haunts me.

I try to walk away, but the stubborn jerk isn’t having it. In fact, he doubles down on working with me, as if our tragic history doesn’t exist at all.

The commission from working with him is the key to a new life for me and my son. It’s worth putting up with the cocky athlete long enough to find him a house. But when Kyle sees the bruises left by my darling ex-husband, he thinks he can save me—and suddenly, he’s interested in much more than just being a client.

Before I know it, I’m wrangled into a scheme so crazy it just might work. Kyle pretends to be my fake boyfriend so he can keep my ex in line until I get the commission from this house sale and get the hell out of Seattle for good.

But with a past as thick with chemistry and tension as ours is, it’s not long before those fake touches feel all too real. Every brush of his hand against my back has me spinning back to that night. Every kiss has me dizzy with the love I felt at eighteen. And every day that passes without me finding him a house has me wondering how much longer I can survive this game we’re playing.

Fake-dating each other was supposed to be for my safety.

But I can’t help thinking my heart is more at risk now than ever before.

False Start is the best title for this story.

If you have read any of the previous books in this series, then Kyle is a familiar character to you. Don’t worry if you have not read any of the other books as his story is told fully in this book.

This book was bit more different than some of her previous ones in the series as the story surrounded Kyle’s and Madelyn’s relationship and that’s because these two were once previously together.

Kandi is known her for angst in books but this one has more depth in the emotional side as there are some difficult situations that arise. Kandi handles with grace and I think readers will appreciate that.

False Start is another great addition to this series and just proves that not a single book of Kandi’s will ever be the same as another one.

Meet Kandi

Kandi Steiner is a #1 Amazon Bestselling Author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tennessee. 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. Her love for writing started at the ripe age of 10, and 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, hiking, yoga, playing with her fur babies and soaking up the sweetness of life.

Blurb

The world stopped spinning as I crossed the finish line. What should have been a time for celebration turned into my worst nightmare.

Nothing, not even my brothers, can stop the inevitable.

The Rebels are all going to die and I won’t stop until I fulfill that promise.

But when my past decides to pay me a little visit, it’s nearly impossible to keep my emotions in check.

Anger, happiness, disappointment, elation…Her actions have me questioning the simple principles of science.

The memory of our whispered promises, “No secrets, no lies”, keeps me awake at night, her betrayal too deep to forget. Her abandonment too cruel to forgive.

The night I finally go up against Cain in the illegal street race, after calling him out for the number one spot, marks the turning point in my life.

It’s a new day, with new rules, and this time…I’m playing to win.

I hate you both with all the love in my heart! LOL

Psycho Love starts immediately where Psycho Hate ends and takes off from there. You want action, you get it in this book. There is no slow down in book two.

Aleko and Mack were truly made for one another. Aleko is crazy protective of Mack and well Mack is just explosive in her personality. Together, these two will burn the world down to protect everyone they love.

I loved everything about this book. From Aleko and Mack to Bear and the rest of the MC. These two ladies know how to write a fast-paced, unrelenting story that is filled with unsuspecting new twists and turns. And that cliffhanger!! While it’s not as pulse-pounding as book one, it’s definitely still a doozy.

I cannot give enough praise to these two women for writing such page-turning stories that keep me on my toes and never get boring.

BLURB:

When a single dad moves to a small town and becomes obsessed with a potential client—a beautiful woman haunted by her tragic past.

For years, tales of the Firefly Man were nothing more than elaborate rumors spread by residents of the Appalachian Mountains.

Until the night Evelyn Vaughn stumbled upon a dead body in the woods.

Fear gripped her, and silence stole her voice.

All while she watched the boy she was with that night take the fall.

Fourteen years later, Evelyn is nothing more than a shell of her former self.

Her life moves like a clock from one moment to the next, never a surprise.

Gone are the days of chasing fireflies through the woods.

Until her therapist goes missing, and he’s replaced with someone new.

Dr. Lincoln Reed, a devastatingly handsome single dad with an intensity behind his evergreen eyes that jolts her back to life.

Or does it?

Evelyn is quickly losing grip of the suppressed reality she’s worked so hard to maintain.

With every new session on Dr. Reed’s couch comes a startling new revelation that has her past awakening like the sparkles of light she used to chase through the nighttime woods.

The Firefly Man was supposed to be a rumor, a fable, a spooky tale.

But Evelyn knows the truth.

He’s her very own phantom.

And he’s back.

OMG!!! THIS BOOK!!!!

I could not put this book down and I did not want to. I have read many sweet and swoony stories by Ms. Allen but this romantic suspense and mystery has topped all her other books for me.

I want to say so much but won’t because this story needs to be experienced without any knowledge (minus the blurb). Hell, going in blind, like myself, was perfection.

Ms. Allen truly knows how to write a story line that is multi-layered and keeps you guessing the whole time but also has you loving the blend of romance sprinkled in. And her characters – OMG! They are perfection and I could not get enough of them.

My review is purposely very limited because I am so afraid that I am going to spoil something. Plus, I am still reeling from this one and just absolutely love how this story unfolded. K.K. blended the mystery and suspense with the romance beautifully and it was just sheer perfection.

Firefly Effect was everything I needed and didn’t know it. K.K. delivers a story that you won’t be able to put down once you start and will stay with you long after you finish.
