Release Day Blitz & Review…The Wildest One by Marni Mann

The Wildest One by Marni Mann is now live!


A scorching hot, hockey, forbidden, billionaire romance from USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann …

I’m not the calm before the storm. I am the storm. And only she can tame my wild ways.


Hockey is my religion.
My body is my temple.
My only goal in life is to win another Stanley Cup with the Los Angeles Whales, so women are just a sexy distraction.

Until her.
The fiery redhead I see across the bar while I’m at an away game.

With one look, I know I have to meet her.
With one touch, I need her beneath me.
With one bat of her long lashes, I want those eyes gazing up at me as she kneels before me.
And with booze flowing through my veins, I do something I’ve never done. I offer her a proposition—to spend a long weekend with me.

What is only supposed to be three nights of sizzling passion turns into much more, and when I leave for my next away game, I find myself wanting her in ways I’ve never felt.

She’s a young heart with an old soul.
My dream woman in every way.
The only thing I’ve ever encountered that my family name, talent and money can’t attain.

But there’s too much distance between us, and I realize that maybe we just aren’t meant to be.

Until a chance meeting skates us right back together and our time is suddenly now.

Except all of that changes when I learn the truth …

She’s forbidden, untouchable, and off-limits.

With my heart on the line, can I score the most crucial goal of my life, or will she realize that being with the wildest one isn’t worth the sacrifices she’ll have to make?

Oh yes, give me some more Beck and Jolie!!

The Wildest One is the second book in the Weston Group series but can easily be read as a standalone. I did not read the first one and had I had not seen it was part of a series, I would have never known.

Beck Weston is a man in his own league – holy smokes. Not only is he a professional hockey player, his family is well known in the food industry. He’s cocky in the right ways and knows how to make the right woman feel like a queen.

Jolie is going to college to learn the ins and outs of what he father does and looking to one day take care for her father. She’s very smart, confident yet does have some weaknesses she does not show many people.

When these two meet, the chemistry is fire and neither can deny it. Their connection is great but they both have busy lives, leading them in different directions. I truly enjoyed how Marni let this play out; it was real and honest and so relatable. The timeline was authentic, which made it all the more real.

Beck and Jolie are perfect for another. Their playfulness, respect for one another and their lives/goals, and that undeniable chemistry that was incredibly naughty and spicy – loved it!

This was a fantastic read and I am definitely going back and reading the first book but also looking forward to the next one.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Hollow by Alta Hensley

You don’t choose the Hunt. The Hunt chooses you.

Hollow by Alta Hensley is now live! 

No body, no crime.

That’s what they say on Heathens Hollow, where the line between desire and obsession blurs with each tide.

I return to my family’s isolated island estate to recover, to heal. To escape the prison my life has become.

The maze calls to me with its twisting pathways and secrets buried beneath the soil.

And so do they.

Two men, tangled in a storm of their own making.

Damiano, the groundskeeper who knows every hidden path through the maze.

Flint, the bartender whose eyes hold truths about the island I’m not ready to face.

Former lovers. Current enemies. Both now inexplicably tied to me.

As The Hunt approaches, Heathens Hollow’s most dangerous ritual begins.

Masked pursuers. Willing prey. Ancient traditions that care nothing for outsiders.

Some things should stay buried in Heathens Hollow.

But on this island, secrets always find their way to the surface.

Hollow is book three in the interconnected standalone series, Heathens Hollow from USA Today bestselling author, Alta Hensley.

Check out the series here!

https://mybook.to/HeathensHollow

Bravo, Alta!! I absolutely enjoyed this!!

I did not (very sadly) read the first two book in this series but it did not at all damper by enjoyment of this book. I definitely have this burning need to go back and read them though.

Briar has returned home and while she’s trying to get out of her current “lifestyle”, she decides to host a party at her family’s estate. Along the way, she connects with Damiano and Flint and so begins the story.

It was really entertaining to see the push and pull between Damiano and Flint. And then add Briar into that mix – perfection. For me personally, this was the only area that I wanted more. Alta gives readers what we need, but I just felt like we could’ve had more. But I also understand why we didn’t as it wouldn’t have fit the overall vibe of the story. It’s also why it didn’t hurt the story for me in anyway, I am just being selfish in wanting more from these three in that MMF aspect. LOL

Alta’s writing style makes you feel like you are right in the thick of things with these characters. The pacing was perfect and everything flowed naturally from the romance aspect to the haunting parts. I loved everything about this book.

LITTLE NIGHTMARE

Rachel Van Dyken

Release Date: June 5

Available in Kindle Unlimited

Not all monsters hide under the bed. Some guard your heart while plotting your ruin.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken comes a gripping standalone mafia romance set in the electrifying world of the Eagle Elite series.

Welcome to your final dream.

Don’t worry. I’ll keep you safe.

I promise. Just close your eyes.

Sleep.

Grief has five stages, they say. But in the mafia, there’s only one: survival.

The day I buried my boyfriend, the Families replaced him with the man who rejected me four years ago—Ace “Matchstick” De Lange. Cold. Calculated. Deadly. He has the bedside manner of a serial killer and the looks of a fallen angel. And now, he’s my shadow, ensuring I don’t end up in the grave beside the man who died for me.

I despise that I’m the one left behind. I loathe how Ace provokes me, pulling me from the abyss of my sorrow. But most of all, I hate that the only piece I have left of my dead boyfriend is something others would kill to possess.

When Ace uncovers my secret, there’s only one solution: marriage to the devil himself to protect the legacy of the one who had no choice.

I vow never to love him. He promises he’ll never love me.

He’s a means to an end—the only one who can stand against my father and live to tell the tale.

He claims his life is mine, but I don’t want it.

I tell him I’ll never be his.

Ace’s response? A chilling, “We’ll see.”

But what happens when everything you believed was a lie? When the only one who can free you from your nightmare threatens to drag you deeper into the darkness?

Some families are tested and break under the weight of the mafia. The De Langes broke… then gathered the pieces and rose.

Grab Your Copy!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DGY762SM

4.5 Stars

Diving into RVD’s mafia series is akin to coming home – a home filled with chaotic love and fiercely protected.

Little Nightmare is the second book in the Rise of the DeLanges series, a spin-off from her Eagle Elite series. You need zero prior knowledge to that series or her other spin-off, Mafia Royals, but you will have the need to read them after you finish this one.

Ace & Raven are from two different families within the mafia and had a previous run-in that left some bitter, unresolved issues. And now, Ace finds himself as Raven’s bodyguard. What could ever possibly go wrong!?

Rachel delivers a story that’s riddled with snarky interactions and two individuals dealing with their own struggles. Ace stole the limelight for me in this story though. His character arc was written so incredibly well, it became impossible for me to not feel everything he went through.

Little Nightmare is a fantastic second book in The Rise of De Langes series. While I felt the ending was a bit rushed, the majority of this book was perfection.

Previous readers of Rachel’s mafia books will know exactly what to expect in her books. New readers will get to experience her intense, darker side of writing and see why so many of us live by the quote, “Blood In, No Out.”

Another phenomenal story by Jewel. I know, I know – I say that with every book she writes. But it’s so completely true. And none of her stories ever repeat anything – not one character is alike and not one storyline is ever the same.

A Good Book is a beautiful and emotional, coming of age story between two best friends; Gabby and Ben. These two have grownup together and are now going off to the same college together.

I want to say so much, but know that I will send up spoiling the story if I do. Jewel always know how to write stories that pull at your emotions and has you feeling everything her characters endure.

While this story is told in dual POV’s, it’s mostly from Gabby’s. I wanted more from Ben so I could understand his though process on things more and not seeing it threw Gabby’s viewpoint. And that is my only reason for not giving this 5 stars, but it did not hurt the overall story.

I loved this story so much. It felt very authentic and real and I know that readers will connect more to these characters and their story because of that. Another fantastic read from Jewel!

Release Day Blitz & Review…Breathtaking by Bella Matthews

Breathtaking by Bella Matthews is now live! 

A surprise pregnancy, marriage of convenience, billionaire romance from #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling author Bella Matthews.

Pushing Maddox Beneventi away was the hardest thing I’ve ever done . . . until the day I showed up at his doorstep clutching a positive pregnancy test.

If you’d have told me we’d be married a month later, I’d have laughed in your face. Because this tall, dark, devastatingly handsome billionaire couldn’t possibly be my happily ever after. Even if he was the only one I’d ever truly wanted.

Fairytales don’t always come true—especially for a princess.

But this isn’t a fairytale.

This is the story of how Maddox Beneventi saved me.
How he fought for me.
For us.

Maybe one day, I’ll tell our child the truth behind our so-called happy ending.

About the pain . . . the devastation and destruction that was left in our wake.

How hard we fought. First each other, then everyone else.

One day, I’ll share that the price we paid was the pain left etched on our souls.

But that day?

That day isn’t today.

Breathtaking is the sixth and final book in the Red Lips and White Lies series and Bella ends is on the best high note!!

I devoured this book as quickly as I could but also forced myself to slow down because I wanted to savor this story.

Lennon and Maddox’s story is one for the books. I will not give one iota as to what happens – just know that Bella takes us on hell of an emotional and angsty journey.

I never like saying, “this book has so much going on” because I don’t want to turn off readers thinking it’s too much, BUT alot does go on, but it’s written so well and everything just blends and unfolds beautifully that it’s not overwhelming.

Breathtaking is a an absolute MUST READ!!!

Release Day Blitz & Review…Unhinged by Jane Henry

Unhinged by Jane Henry is now live! 

From USA Today Bestselling Author Jane Henry comes a dark Bratva stalker romance.

Anissa Laurent is a ghost—a master of deception, a woman who has slipped through the cracks of the underworld. Untraceable. Untouchable. Unclaimed. Until me.

I made it my life’s mission to find her, drag her back where she belongs, and punish her for her betrayal.

I traced every false identity until I found her, but I took my time. I studied the way she breathes, the way she moves, what she loves, and what she hates. 

She thought she could run. She thought she could hide. She thought she could get away with betraying my family. 

But I’m not a man who lets go of what’s mine.

She was meant to be broken, to be owned, meant to carry my mark in the most primal way possible. I won’t just take her body—she’ll have my baby, too.


But I didn’t expect her to be as broken as I am. I didn’t expect her to fight like she has nothing left to lose. And now, I don’t just want to cage her—I want to own her.


She’ll curse me. She’ll hate me. She’ll claw and bite and scream my name in fury and in pleasure. But in the end, it doesn’t matter. Because there is no escape from her past… and definitely not from me.

What to expect in Unhinged:

Stalking

Kidnapping

BDSM

Breeding kink

Caging 

A snarky AF heroine and OTT alpha hero

Found family and a guaranteed HEA

Goodreads: https://bit.ly/449j0Ur

Jane Henry has quickly become one of my favorite mafia/Bravata authors.

Matvei and Anissa are exactly what this title says, Unhinged. They both excel at their jobs and have some very unusual tastes.

Matvei has been looking for Anissa ever since she shamed his family. Anissa has been hiding out under the protection of the Irish mob, but once a deal is settled between the Russians and the Irish, Anissa is free game – she just doesn’t it.

I loved how everything played out and how these two played the ultimate game of cat and mouse. But it’s once these two find some common ground, secrets and lies unfold and they find themselves fighting more than just each other.

Jane wrote this story flawlessly. There is zero pause in the intensity, and the spicy scenes are perfection. Jane does not hold back on anything and it just make this story all the more intense.

Matvei and Anissa are one of my favorite couples in this series and that is saying something because I have thoroughly enjoyed every book in this series so far. I am overly excited for the next book.

Meet Jane


Fueled by dark chocolate and even darker coffee, USA Today bestselling author Jane Henry writes what she loves to read— character-driven, unputdownable romance featuring dominant alpha males and the powerful heroines who bring them to their knees. She’s believed in the power of love and romance since Belle won over the beast, and finally decided to write love stories of her own.

So when I started reading this book, it felt very familiar to me. It wasn’t until about 20% in that it hit me square in the face. I read this book when Kristi published this back in 2018 under a different title.

Let me tell you, if a story that is over 8 years old, comes raging back to my memory as if I just read it, you know it’s a phenomenal story. I loved this story so much, I continued reading it because I love these characters and their story.

Dylan is an upcoming song writer that is now force to work with her ex due to their contract obligations. But she knows she can write anywhere, so she asks for a favor from her brother and finds herself rooming with one of his friends.

Grady is a firefighter and had no problems with Dylan crashing at his place. He’s working through his own demons and doesn’t mind having someone around who has no idea what he’s been through.

However, these two prove to be more than the distraction they expected from one another. As Grady works through finding his love for life again, he helps Dylan move past her ex and showing her she’s more than she sees in herself.

Kristy writes amazing characters that have so much depth, it’s impossible to not feel these words come alive. The story moves at the perfect pace and it’s the perfect amount of angst.

A highly recommended read and I am so grateful I had the opportunity re-read this one.

Meet Kristy

New York Times Bestselling author K. Bromberg writes contemporary romance novels that make you work to get your happily ever after. She likes to write strong heroines and damaged heroes, who we love to hate but can’t help but love.

Since publishing her first book on a whim in 2013, Kristy has sold over two million copies of her books across twenty different countries and has landed on the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists over thirty times. (She still wakes up and asks herself how she got so lucky for all this to happen.)

A mom of three, Kristy finds the only thing harder than finishing the book she’s writing is navigating parenthood during the teenage years (send more wine!). She loves dogs, sports, a good book, and is an expert procrastinator. She lives in Southern California with her family.

4.5 Stars

I was not expecting ALL that in this story.

First off, this book had me in a chokehold – which Jackson would love to hear. I read this book within a day, but each time I had to pause for whatever reason (work and family – always so needy), this book was on my mind. I had to know what was going to happen next.

Second – Jackson – damn. I am not one that’s into his kinks, the whole degrading thing but damn he made it sound hot and Georgia begged for it – ALOT.

Third – the plotline. WOW. There is alot that goes on in this story and it keeps you right at the edge the entire time. As much as Jackson and Georgia’s forbidden secret played a key role, the suspense and blackmail happening was just as enticing.

JD did a fantastic job of blending everything going on in this book into one high-octane story that leaves you breathless, in so many ways. This book had me on edge the entire time and even though I was right on things, it was how it all played that made this story perfect.

And I can’t forget Noah – he’s why all this happened to begin with. I am looking forward to more from him…

Meet J.D. Hollyfield:

Thanks for joining me for a cocktail and some girl talk. I live the dream in my own slice of paradise where I get to enjoy colorful sunsets from my rocking chair while I’m working. I have my very own romance hero with Mr. Rose and there’s more than a few little rose buds running around. A couple aren’t so little anymore! We keep things interesting with cats and a dog and the critters that roam though the yard (fingers crossed the mountain lions stay away).

Release Day Blitz & Review…Loving The Reaper by Lola King

Loving The Reaper by Lola King is now live! 

An angsty, best-friends-to-lovers, dark romance from best-selling author, Lola King

He waited years for her to choose him. His patience has run out.
Welcome back to Silver Falls University. There is a murderer among us.

I’ve been best friends with Wren Hunter for sixteen years. The boy who chased me in our schoolyard, kissed my scraped knees, and always swore to protect me grew into the god of Silver Falls University: admired by his peers, desired by every woman on campus, and feared by anyone who gets in his way.
Wren knows me better than anyone. He sees through every wall I build. He can handle my fire and my stubbornness. Sometimes I believe he can even tame it. This is why I thought we would never cross the line between friendship and more, no matter how many times we teetered on the edge of it.
I was wrong.
The mask he wore around me is gone, and what’s underneath is dangerous, unrelenting, obsessive.
Wren doesn’t just want me—he decided I’m his.

And in his world, no one says no.

There’s a secret society behind him, powerful enough to cover up anything—or anyone—standing in their way. Now, I’m trapped in his game, bound to a man I don’t recognize, in a world where nothing is what it seems.

Bodies are piling up.

Trust is a luxury.

And Wren Hunter might be the one thing that destroys me.


Loving The Reaper is a dark romance intended for readers over 18 only. Please, read the trigger warnings in the book.
This is the second book in a series of 3 interconnected standalones.

WHAT DID I JUST READ!?!?!

This is only my second book by this author, but she is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors to read. I am in awe of her writing prowess and her ability to keep readers engaged from the first page to the very end. This book is 500 pages of jaw-dropping intensity that I read within 24 hours – I regret nothing – loss of sleep was worth it.

This book absolutely blew me away. Wren and Peaches have been best friends forever but Wren has always wanted to be more. Peaches just never realized how far Wren was willing to go to make that happen. Peaches also is a very independent and headstrong woman who doesn’t want to be dominated.

And that just barely scrapes that surface of what unfolds in this book. Lola creates a multi-layered story that will keep readers at the edge of their seats, begging for more at each turn of the page. Lola weaves a dark, suspenseful story riddled with twists and turns you won’t see coming. This is a dark romance, so please heed the triggers.

From #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes a single dad, grumpy/sunshine, sports romance.

Falling for the grumpy, single dad next door wasn’t on my summer to-do list.

Did I mention he’s also a football god? A really hot one? Because he is.

Becoming said baller’s new nanny?

Yeah, I definitely didn’t see that one coming.

But nothing about Maverick Beneventi was ever what I expected. 

He’s the embodiment of every broody book boyfriend I’ve ever loved, wrapped in deliciously sexy muscles and covered in beautiful black ink. All scowls and sharp edges, I was sure he hated me.

Until one mischievous puppy, one rainy night, and one unexpected job offer changed everything.

Now, my days are filled with bedtime stories and butterfly kisses, all thanks to the one person who can bring Maverick to his knees—his little girl, Rosie.

He doesn’t do complications. Or fun. Or anything that could make him smile. But somewhere between late-night talks and lingering touches, stolen glances and quiet moments . . . something changes, and I did the one thing I swore I wouldn’t.

I fell in love. 

With Maverick. With Rosie. 

With the life I was sure I’d never have.

And with summer slipping away and my heart on the line, I have to decide—stay and fight for the family I never saw coming . . . or walk away before I destroy it all?

Just when I think Bella can’t outdo herself, she delivers THIS book!!!

I absolutely LOVED everything about this!! This is not your typical single dad/nanny story. I have read many books with this trope, but none quite like this.

I was not expecting the amount of emotions to come out of me while reading this book. The amount of banter between Emmie and Maverick was perfection. It just showed that their chemistry was fire and these knew how to handle the other, but still have respect. And Rosie – that girl stole my heart.

Bella truly knows how to write a phenomenal slow-burn romance with the right amount of tension and spice. I loved that this story made me laugh, cry, get a bit hot under the collar and just have the biggest smile the majority of the book.

This is Bella’s best-to-date book, in my humble opinion.

Worth every penny!

Release Day Blitz & Review…Save Your Breath by Kandi Steiner

Save Your Breath by Kandi Steiner is now live! 

THIS JUST IN: HOCKEY BAD BOY AND POP STAR EXTRAORDINAIRE ENGAGED!

That was the headline we’d wanted. If only I’d known the cost to get it.

Aleksander Suter has been my best friend since high school—and the only man who’s ever been able to truly get under my skin. With his reputation for trouble and a smirk that could melt ice, he’s also the NHL’s favorite bad boy.

When my publicist’s plan to fix my image collides with his need to clean up his own, we find ourselves in a fake engagement that feels too real from the start.

Now, I’m releasing my new album, putting on a show for the paparazzi I usually try to dodge, and falling too fast for a man who never falls for anyone. Every stolen glance, every heated touch blurs the lines between us until I’m wondering where the lies end and the truth begins.

And when a hurricane traps us together in his high-rise condo, all my carefully built walls collapse, and resisting the pull between us becomes a losing game.

Suddenly, the stakes are higher than just headlines, and the risks feel more personal than ever.

But as our past resurfaces and old feelings reignite, I realize the biggest risk isn’t losing my career—it’s losing my heart to the one person I thought would never be mine.

Meet Kandi


Kandi Steiner is a USA Today and #1 Amazon Bestselling Author 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 hopeless romantic and found herself bursting at the seams with love stories she was eager to tell.

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, spending quality time with her family (fur babies included) and soaking up the sweetness of life.
