Release Day Blitz & Review…Tempting Little Thief by Meagan Brandy

TEMPTING LITTLE THIEF

Meagan Brandy

Release Date: June 1

 

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Meagan Brandy comes a steamy forbidden romance featuring a possessive hero … who falls first and will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

Bastian Bishop. That’s his name.

He’s rough, rugged, and utterly unpredictable.

He’s not cautious or contemplative. He’s a volcano. Silent and steady one second, and a nightmare in the next.

But that’s not the worst of it.

This guy? He’s an outsider and in my world outsiders don’t belong.

They’re unwanted, unwelcome and known to disappear without a trace; yet he doesn’t seem to care.

After one night of reckless rebellion, the tattooed tyrant keeps coming back, sneaking into my world without permission, and causing trouble I can’t allow.

I should end this now before my father discovers his existence and does it for me, but he won’t allow it.

He says, like it or not … I am his now, that nothing and no one will stand in his way.

What he refuses to understand is I’m a Girl of Greyson, a coveted queen of sorts in the underground crime world.

He’s a nobody, an insignificant man with nothing to his name, marking him a threat to my own.

We could never be, but he won’t hear it.

And me? I know exactly how this ends.

Or so I thought I did, until betrayal burns so deep that suddenly nothing makes sense.

Nothing but him…

Alternate Cover

“There’s a fire in her eyes that speaks to the devil buried in the mine, and he wants to play.”

This is just a small insight into Bastian Bishop’s mind. And oh what a mind it is to be trapped in.

Tempting Little Thief is Bastian Bishop’s story. I only read two books in the Brayshaw High series and I can with absolute certainty state that you can read this book with zero knowledge of that series. And if you never read any other book by Meagan because the Brayshaw series didn’t do it for you, I HIGHLY encourage you to give her another try with this one.

TLT is the start of her new series, Girls of Greyson, and is her best writing to date. I have read other standalone books by Meagan and I have enjoyed watching her writing grow with each release. But TLT is definitely Meagan at her best.

“But today’s truth often becomes tomorrow’s lie, almost always by accident.”

This story is very fast-paced, filled with drama and some great twists mixed in. It was thrilling to watch Bastian and Rocklin go from lust to love and their relationship build as the story unfolds. They are complete opposites in so many ways but also alike in many. I love the tit for tat between them – their banter just added to the chemistry between and helped solidify that strong foundation they needed.

There are a few areas where I felt things got a bit too unreal and felt a bit over the top (for me). However, those were very few and didn’t detract or stop me from reading.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed these characters and their story. I cannot wait to see what Meagan brings us next in this series.

Despite growing up without it, William Walker knows all about love. He loves his wife. He loves his children. He loves the cat. He has the perfect family, and all he had to do to get it was push aside one pesky little feeling.

 

 
Unfortunately, love doesn’t pay the bills.
 
Following redundancy, an opportunity thrusts the amiable electrician into a world he’s only seen on the big screen, a world he’s now a part of creating. As a spark on a movie set, William is enthralled by the challenge. The freedom. The possibilities. And, in particular, by one very charismatic actor…
 
Laurence Cole.
 
The trouble with Laurence is that he makes that pesky feeling resurface. Worse, the longer he sticks around, the stronger it grows, the more it changes. Into what, William doesn’t know. It’s not love. William Walker knows all about love.
 
Unless…
 
It’s a different kind of love.

When she’s not locked in her office playing with her imaginary friends, she can usually be found reading, binge-watching boxsets, or belting out great songs and pretending she doesn’t sound like a cat in distress. Oh, and if the kids ever ask, she moonlights as the Pink Power Ranger while they’re sleeping…

Nicola has popped my M/M romance cherry and it was the perfect book to do so.

William’s story is one for the books. I felt his emotions coming off the pages and just wanted to swallow him up in hugs and love.

I won’t give his story away because it’s one that needs to blind. The blurb gives you and idea of what his story is about, but it’s experiencing everything that he feels and goes through that makes this book phenomenal.

I have to say that Nicola creates some of the best characters and makes them so relatable and easy to love.

There is so much growth and self-reflection in this book and it just really seeped into my soul.

I cannot wait for everyone to read this one.

Cover Reveal…Because I Want You by Claire Contreras

Claire Contreras has revealed the cover for Because I Want You!

Releasing: September 15, 2022

Cover Design: Hang Le Designs

From New York Times bestseller Claire Contreras comes a new, sexy standalone mafia romance novel…

Roselyn Vega –
When Gabriel De Luca waltzed into the nightclub where I was bartending, looking like he’d just stepped out of the pages of GQ Magazine: Wall Street Edition, it felt like fate.

I hadn’t seen him in ten years, but it felt like no time had passed between us. He’d been my first boyfriend, and I trusted him, so when he asked me how I ended up bartending for one of the most feared crime bosses, I told him everything. After that night, he went MIA, and suddenly, I’m very concerned for both our safety.

When he finally shows up, a week later, he’s acting different, walking different, and even looks a little different, but I’m so relieved that he’s okay that I barely register those things.

A couple of nights later, when he breaks into my apartment in the middle of the night I realize that it wasn’t Gabriel who’d walked into the club the other night, but his brother. His infuriating, domineering, dangerous brother, who, unlike Gabriel, followed their father’s footsteps into the world of organized crime. He demands that I pack my bags and go with him. I refuse, fight and argue, but the thing about Dominic De Luca is that one way or another, he always gets his way.

Dominic De Luca –
There’s a code between brothers. I should know. I have a lot of them.

Don’t lie.

Don’t steal from each other.

Don’t f each other’s women *without permission*.

This particular situation made that last one a little less black and white because my brother, my first best friend, the guy who shared a womb with me, failed to tell me that the bartender he’d been seeing was Roselyn Vega. Of course, he wouldn’t tell me. Now the voice message he left before he completely disappeared makes sense. “Take care of her. Don’t f her.”

Usually, that wouldn’t be a problem (read: the code), but it’s a little tricky this time. You see, Rosie was mine before he took her from me ten years ago, and many things have changed during that time. I’ve changed, my circumstances have changed, but my confounding, obnoxious crush on Rosie? Yeah, that’s still the same. He left her in my care and warned me not to do anything, but I’m not making any promises.

**Because I Want You is a complete standalone novel set in the same world as Because You’re Mine and Because I Need You

The Scandal is an all-new marriage of convenience, age-gap novel set in the Single in Seattle Series, featuring Stella McKenna

 

The Scandal by Kristen Proby is now live!

 

Who knew that weddings in Vegas were the real deal? I certainly didn’t when I agreed to marry my co-worker while on a bender in Sin City. Now, I need a quick annulment, which means I need an attorney, STAT.

Honestly, with a name like Grayson Sterling, Esquire, I expected an old man in a three-piece suit. But the guy behind the desk is anything but stuffy and old. Tall and sexy with tattoos and striking blue eyes, I simply can’t take my eyes off him, and I have no intention of declining his offer of a date…and more. So much more!

The conversation between us is good, and the man should win awards for his bedroom escapades. I find myself trusting him in ways I never thought I would–until he breaks that trust.

Gray insists he can fix it.

He claims he loves me.

But I don’t know if we can survive this.

Meet Kristen

The Scandal is a standalone romance within Proby’s Single in Seattle series.

I’m not normally one for insta-love stories but when it’s done right, I really enjoy them. And this is another that I absolutely enjoyed.

Stella finds herself needing to get an annulment and quickly. When she walks into the office of the attorney handling the paperwork, she’s knocked back a few steps. Grayson may be slightly older but there is an air about him that she finds absolutely attractive. And Grayson doesn’t mix words in letting her know just how he feels about her.

Kristen delivered this story with the perfectly. The pacing and timing of everything is right on the mark. I love the maturity of both Stella and Grayson and it just feeds into their attraction for one another. The secondary characters definitely add another layer into the story and just keep things very well rounded.

Another great book from Kristen!

Cover Reveal…Forbidden to Love by Siobhan Davis

Forbidden To Love, an all-new dark, forbidden romance set in the same world as Condemned to Love by USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Siobhan Davis, is coming September 30th and we have the gorgeous cover!

Natalia Mazzone has grown up knowing she is promised to a made man. As the only daughter of one of New York’s most powerful mafia dons, she knows she can’t refuse. It’s her duty, and she would never dishonor her beloved father.

But the man she’s promised to is a monster. And there is nothing but torture, pain, and heartache lying in wait.

So, she grabs happiness when she finds it—in the somewhat reluctant arms of Leonardo Messina.

Leo is her brother’s best friend. A soldato for the Mazzone famiglia. A man with strong ambition and an even stronger resolve. He won’t allow them to give in to temptation, so Natalia is forced to love him from afar.

Leo risked everything for the one woman he can never have. He doesn’t regret it. It saved Natalia from a life of hell, but his actions set her on a different course.

One that doesn’t involve him.

Years have passed, and his feelings remain the same. Yet he keeps his distance, dedicating himself to his new role as underboss to Bennett Mazzone, while the love of his life is married to another man.

Until a twist of fate puts Natalia in his path again, and this time, he is powerless to resist.

Release Day Blitz & Review….Undeniable by Aleatha Romig

Release Date: August 18

Forbidden love…is undeniable.
When she was younger, like all little girls, Sophie Hawkins believed in fantasies. She believed in happily-ever-after and that one day her prince would come. What made Sophie’s dreams a bit different was that the man of her dreams wasn’t a fictional prince but her best friend’s dad.
Matt was handsome and nice, the kind of man every woman would want.
Time passes, and through the years, Sophie’s reality changes, yet her attraction and memories of Matt Hamilton never fade. Where boys and men are concerned, Matt remains her gold standard.
When his daughter was young, Matt Hamilton had it all: a family and success.
With the ticking of the clock and changing of the calendar, seasons pass and situations adjust. Business success remains, but personally, his world changes…until the day fate sets the undeniable in motion.
Sophie was a sweet little girl, his daughter’s best friend, and a ray of undeniable sunshine. That was before. Now she’s more. She is a grown woman.
Who can deny the undeniable?

Undeniable, part of the Indulgence series of stand-alone steamy stories, will heat your ereader and make you hot and bothered. Undeniable is a fun forbidden-love story that will whisk the reader away to a time when fantasies could come true.

Excerpt: 

He licked his lips and repeated what he always did when we had to perform, when we had to do our jobs. “I won’t be gentle with you.”

Our foreheads touched, my chest heaved with exertion like it was hard to breathe when he was so near, but really it was the promise that killed me, a promise that he wouldn’t enjoy touching me ever again, that I was more curse than cure, and yet, I knew it was all we would ever get, these fleeting moments where we did our job too well. “Then make it hurt, baby.” My voice cracked. “Make it hurt.”

His lips parted in a groan as he spun me into his arms and crushed his mouth to mine. It was part pain, part pleasure as he pulled my hair then slid a hand up my shirt like nobody was watching when everyone was.

We broke apart, mouths swollen, my lower lip was bleeding.

A reminder for both of us—this was no cease-fire, this wasn’t real, it was all a carefully constructed show.

“Mmmmm…” I smirked. “Looks like Junior’s not playing around tonight, ladies.”

Screams went up as Junior grabbed my ass and squeezed so hard, I knew I would bruise later. He roughly pulled me against his chest and nipped at my neck.

I told my body it didn’t feel good.

I told my heart we were safe.

And I forced myself to believe the lie every single time we touched.

Because to do otherwise—would destroy me.

RVD is going back to her mafia roots and I could not be more excited.  Her Eagle Elite series is what made me a hardcore RVD fan back in 2013.  I have thoroughly enjoyed every book she has written since, but her mafia stories hold special place in my heart and I jumped at the change to read an advance copy of her newest series.

Ruthless Princess is the start of Mafia Royals series and Rachels throws down the blades from the very start.  You do not need to read the Eagle Elite series to read this series because it is a whole new group of characters – kids of the Eagle Elite.  The Mafia bosses do make appearances, however it’s more with showing of a lineage and helps give you and understanding how all these kids related.  It is a lot to taken in, but Rachel does it with ease so you are not lost.

And when I say kids, I say that very loosely.  They are adults now – all in their college years.  But growing up in the mafia makes you mature much faster than a child normally would.  Rachel definitely lets her characters rule the pages and does not hold back on anything.  There is a lot of blood, sex and intense scenes.  And I LOVED EVERY DAMN BIT OF IT!!!

Ruthless Princess is truly Serena and Junior’s story.  But Rachel also uses it to set the stage for what is come of all the cousins within this series.  She does is gracefully and never deters from the main story – Serena and Junior’s their forbidden romance.

I will not into details about anything.  Just know that not once is there a slowdown in this book.  Rachel brings the perfect mix of suspense, steam and even some humor to keep things entertaining on the lighter side.  The new Mafia Regime is not holding back on anything and they are determined to not repeat the mistakes of their fathers.

As I said before, you can read this book as a standalone and not have a problem.  However, I can’t promise you that after reading this, that you won’t want to go back and read the Eagle Elite series.  Rachel does a phenomenal job of introducing the next generation in the Elite mafia and holds back on nothing.

Another great series that will give RVD fans something to look forward to every year with a new mafia progeny.

Samantha fights to compose her own ending, even as the final notes rise to a heartbreaking crescendo.

SONATA is the third and final book in the explosive trilogy with Samantha Brooks and Liam North. It should be read after OVERTURE and CONCERTO.
