Synopsis

Firefighter Jamey Tucker knows three things in life to be true: an honorable man doesn’t go back on his word; never hurt a woman; and lasting love isn’t a myth. But with his recent move to a new job at Appleton Fire Station, the long hours don’t offer hope of finding the love he’s looking for.

When Jamey meets beautiful pediatric nurse Heather Longhurst after hearing her sing Santa Baby in a supermarket aisle, he offers her a promise he discovers he can’t keep. Heather has been betrayed by men in the past, making it hard for Jamey to gain her trust. Determined to find a way to win her heart, Jamey uses firefighter engine-uity and Heather’s favorite song to prove he’s got Christmas spirit she can believe in all year.

Book Information:

Synopsis:

“Where can I take you, Mr. Savoy?”

That was how Remy Maison’s day began, not the glamorous world of guarding underwear from her creepy landlord on laundry day, but taking her brother’s place as driver for businessman Owen Savoy. And what was with this guy? Yeah, he’s hot and all, with eyes like melted chocolate and a lean, sexy figure she’d love to explore, but Remy’s never met anyone so rigid.

Owen has a list for everything. He’s planned the entire day down to the smallest detail. All Remy has to do is stick to the list, but she never follows the rules‚ there’s no freaking way. So why is she spending all her time looking in the rearview mirror, hoping she’ll make Owen’s next list?

Connectivity by Aven Ellis….A Most Appropriate Giveaway

A *Most Appropriate* Connectivity Giveaway

If you have read Connectivity by Aven Ellis, you will recognize these two things: the song “London Calling” and the phrase “Keep Calm and Carry On.”

“London Calling” is MK’s ringtone for William. And William loathes the overuse of “Keep Calm and Carry On”–so of course MK had to tease him about it.

Aven wanted to do a giveaway for Read-Love-Blog readers, and she found these fun bracelets that represent two things from the book. How fun is that?

I will be drawing two winners (one for each bracelet.) Drawing is open to both USA residents and those abroad. Entries will be received until October 31st. Winner will be drawn on Friday.

And if you haven’t read Connectivity yet, what are you waiting for? London is calling, you know.

By the way, you can find my review of Connectivity  here.

Title:   Never Let Go

Author:  Scarlett Edwards

Genre: New Adult Romance

Add to Goodreads

Synopsis:

The start of college heralds new beginnings and new friendships. It gives every girl a chance to reinvent herself.

I go and screw mine up by meeting the most gorgeous guy I’ve laid eyes on in five years while talking to my cat outside my dorm.

But Andrew Crowner is far from judgmental. After helping me move my things to my room, he has me smitten by his easy manners and kind smile. And from the way his eyes linger on me before he leaves, I start to think that maybe I’ve caught his attention, too.

I let myself believe that luck might finally be on my side until I stumble upon my roommate… and her overnight guest.

Spencer Ashford.

Lean and tattooed, sexy as sin and dangerous, Spencer is exactly the type I want to avoid. I would have no trouble with that… were it not for his swift and inexplicable interest in me.

In the span of a week, I go from a girl with next-to-no experience with boys to one caught in the cross hairs of two totally different men.

Andrew’s interest is wholesome and sweet. Spencer’s is edgy and raw. The choice should be easy. But there are always complications, and sometimes, matters of the heart take the least expected turns.

 

My review:

Never Let Go is the first book in a new series from author Scarlett Edwards and gives us an emotional, intense and delicious start.

Paige is starting her first year at college and it’s definitely a new beginning and a fresh start for her.  Something she didn’t exactly think she’d find herself, however, is torn between two very different but equally attractive guys.  Andrew is the all-American, clean cut guy next door while Spencer is the sexy, tattooed guy with a reputation the certainly precedes him.  Now, not only is Paige trying to navigate life on her own, she’s trying to navigate very foreign feelings for two different guys.  Will she end up with either one of them?

Never Let Go was an emotional story with bits of mystery surrounding all of the main characters, which really added to the story as a whole.  Paige had gone through some things in her life, it was clear from the beginning, but we didn’t really find out until later in the book exactly what events had transpired that made her who she was today.  I enjoyed that aspect.  The same went for Spencer and Andrew.  There was clearly a history between them and that mystery lasted almost the whole book.  When we did find out, it was a total “WHOA” moment that really made a lot of pieces fall neatly into place.  Pieces that I really didn’t even realize were there.   Paige was a likeable girl with a smart head on her shoulders and wasn’t all starry eyed and boy crazy which added to her charm.  She made these guys really work to earn her friendship and a big high-five to that.  Spencer had me wanting to hate him with his (I hate to say it) semi-womanizing ways, but I could tell there was more to him and I am glad I gave him a chance.  Andrew was my first choice for Paige but, the exact opposite of what I felt for Spencer, I felt like there was something off with him and that he was too good to be true.  I won’t tell you what the final verdict was, but I will say that the back and forth feelings I had for these two guys lasted almost the entire book.  That, to me, is the sign of great writing.

Now, I have to at least warn you all that this book did have a bit of a cliffhanger ending.  Some issues were indeed resolved, but we are left kind of hanging.  The ending isn’t as abrupt as most cliffhanger endings, but I did feel like it should qualify as one.  I don’t mind them in the least, but I know some of you do so I felt I should mention it.

All in all this was a great read with lots of back and forth emotion that I really enjoyed.  I can’t wait for book 2 in the series and see how life is going for Paige!  Thank you, Scarlett, for an emotional and entertaining book with some delicious man candy!

Review, Interview & Giveaway….The Sugar Cookie Sweetheart Swap by Donna Kauffman, Kate Angell & Kimberly Kincaid

Where There’s Smoke by Donna Kauffman

Synopsis:

When flames from a recipe gone disastrously wrong send hunky fire fighter Will Mason to pretty Clara Parker’s rescue, the sparks really begin to fly! And once Will gets a taste of Clara, he aches for more than just a little sugar from the famously single food columnist…

 

My review:

Talk about a fantastic start to this hot and sexy anthology!  Where There’s Smoke combined a hot and sexy firefighter, a clumsy-yet-adorable newspaper columnist and a long lost friendship for a delicious first course.  Clara Parker isn’t having the best luck, but then again, that’s nothing new.  Always the slightly awkward and clumsy one out of her trio of girlfriends, she is used to things not necessarily going her way, but this week has really been epically bad.  Dumped by her love interest and having to write a column on baking to save her job, Clara is at her wits end.  But when she runs into Will, a guy she hasn’t seen since he moved away suddenly years ago and a guy she’s held a flame for, things seem to start looking up.  Well, until she almost burns her house down baking for her column.  Luckily, Will is a firefighter waiting to save a damsel in distress. And Clara is just the damsel he’s been dreaming about saving since he left all those years ago.

This story totally rocked my socks off! The heat and build up between Clara and Will is phenomenal.  Will is an amazing character….cut to the chase and open and honest.  I loved him.  Clara is so cute and quirky and just so real! Together they balance each other out and cause enough heat for more than a few sirens to go off!

 

The Gingerbread Man by Kate Angell

 Synopsis:

Folks have always told fun-loving Abby Denton that her anatomically correct Gingerbread cookies are…impressive. But those erotic cookies have nothing on the sexy stranger Abby saves from a snowy country road. Could Lander Reynolds be the Christmas treat she’s truly been longing for?

 

My review:

The most emotional and intense in the story, in my opinion…. The Gingerbread Man was a meaningful and savory middle course.  Abby has kept her X-rated gingerbread men hidden from the townspeople, and she intends to keep it that way…but when a handsome stranger breezes in to the cookie swap and buys a box of those secret cookies, she has no idea what’s in store for her.  Lander can’t believe his eyes…what exactly are on those gingerbread men? He also can’t believe his eyes when he wakes up in the cabin of a beautiful stranger…clearly injured, he must have had an accident.  The last thing he can remember was a glace at those peculiar cookies.

What started out as an innocent story turned into an emotional journey dealing with loss and the holidays for both Abby and Lander.  I adored Lander and Abby sharing their family memories while being snowed in and the bond they built because of their feelings of loss.  It was truly a beautiful tale that had me crying more than once.  In the end, Abby and Lander prove that wishes can come true.

 

Sugar And Spice by Kimberly Kincaid

Synopsis:

When caterer Lily Callahan goes up against hotshot pastry chef Pete Mancuso in the bake-off of the season, the stakes are high – and scandalously passionate. Will the gorgeous gourmand steal Lily’s heart – and the top prize in the Christmas cookie competition?

 

My review:

I always say the dessert is the best course, and Sugar and Spice was deliciously delectable and exactly the ending I craved.  Lily Callahan has always dreamed of owning her own bakery.  So when she sees a chance to win a good chunk of change in the local bake-off of the holiday season, she knows this is what she needs to make her dreams a reality.  Pete Mancuso, for years, has dreamed of creating his sugary confections at the most exclusive restaurant in the area.  So when he sees a chance to gain the notoriety in the local bake-off of the holiday season, he knows this is what he needs to make his dreams a reality.  Both Lily and Pete are fighting for their dreams and fighting to both honor and hide theirs pasts.  They also soon realize they are fighting their attraction to one another.  Will they be able to focus on the heat in the kitchen and not in their desires for each other?

Oh yum, Pete Mancuso is not at all what I would think of a pastry chef as.  He’s daring and cocky and delicious bad-boy but with a heart of gold and a soft side I never saw coming.  Lily is genuine and has a beautiful spirit and sense of family and self.  Combined, they both are similar and different in equal amounts and it was a brilliant combo.  Lily, the strict, rule following, outlining gal and Pete the bold, risk taking, original guy make a pair that’s hard to beat.  It’s the perfect sweet and salty combination that make up a taste meant to be savored.

Interview with Pete Mancuso the Pastry Chef from Sugar and Spice:

So, Pete, how are things in Pine Mountain? 

Great, actually! Lily and I just chose the shop front where The Sweet Life is going to go down on Main Street, and of course we’re already having, um, lively discussions about the menu. (Flashes a smirk) Suffice it to say, we might go with a his-and-hers theme. You know, a little sugar, a little spice. We’re hoping to have the place open by late summer (hint: if you keep your eyes open nice and wide, you might see it in Gimme Some Sugar, coming in June 2014!)

 

Have you and Lily come up with any delicious cookie recipes together?

Of course! She still hates to wing it, but every once in a while I can convince her to step outside the box a little. Usually it works.

(Lily pokes her head into the interview to lift her eyebrows at Pete) Uh-huh. Emphasis on the usually. Ask him about the chocolate covered bacon debacle.

(Pete laughs) Hey, that would’ve worked if you’d let me figure out the right ratios!

(Lily makes a face and shakes her head before kissing Pete on her way out the door)

(Pete grins) Anyway, yeah. It’s always an adventure in our kitchen.

 

I absolutely love what you did with Lucas and you gained some major bonus points with me……have you seen any more of him and is he doing well? 

Yup and yup! Lily and I go hang out with Lucas at the community center once a week. He’s really interested in food, so he got an after school job at Joe’s Grocery. Once the bakery opens, we’ll keep him busy there too. (hint: keep your eyes open for Lucas in the Pine Mountain series…especially in Stirring Up Trouble, coming in October 2014!)

 

Quick…..what was the last dessert you ordered in a restaurant that you adored?

(Grinning) Funny you should ask! To celebrate getting our store front, I took Lily to L’Orangerie. It was one of Conrad Le Clerc’s last days there, but he made us these truly insane double-chocolate tartlets with homemade vanilla bean ice cream and raspberry reduction sauce. I seriously couldn’t have made them any better.

 

Oh, and speaking of restaurants….did you ever get into trouble for “borrowing” a bit of that Remy Martin XO?

Gee, Jillian, I don’t know what you could be talking about! I would never do such a thing (Big. Fat. Smile.)

 

 

Ok, now for a little fun with “this or that”…..

 

Chocolate sauce or whipped cream? Yes! (don’t make me pick. Please!)

 

Boxers or briefs? Now this one, I’ll pick. Boxers

 

Batman or Superman? Man of steel, baby! I’d kill to be able to fly. Also, bulletproof.  Enough said.

 

Fancy night out or cozy night in? (chuckling) Either one is fine by me, as long as I’ve got Lily by my side.

 

Thanks Pete, and Lily, for stopping by!

Facade Cover

Nyrae: Hey, I’d like to thank Jillian for inviting Adrian and I to her blog today. I thought it would be fun to get to dig around in Adrian’s head a bit…

Adrian: Wait. This was your idea? I thought it was Jillian’s.

Nyrae: Um…well…

Adrian: Because my book wasn’t enough torture. I see how you are.

Nyrae: Hey! It wasn’t torture. It led you to—

Adrian: Laney…yeah, I can’t regret anything that led me to her.

Nyrae: Aww, that was sweet. Since you mentioned Laney, let’s talk about her a little bit. What is it about Laney that you love so much?

Adrian: rolls eyes You’re killin’ me here, Nyrae. I think that’s sort of a ridiculous question. What is it about her? I don’t think that’s something a person can put into words.

Nyrae: Well if anyone can do it, I think it would be you. The poetry you write is incredible.

Adrian: Shit. I never should have let you in on that piece of information about me… About Laney, I guess it’s just the way she makes me feel. She made me feel good when there hadn’t been a whole lot of it in my life. Because she’s good. She’s been through hell and back but she doesn’t let herself see the world negatively because of it. That takes a special kind of person. I sure as hell couldn’t do it before her. Let’s be real, I still don’t always but she makes me want to see things differently. She makes me want to keep going despite the fact that there’s so much darkness out there. shifts uncomfortably in seat

Nyrae: See? I knew you could do it. She’s a very lucky girl.

Adrian: Nah, I’m the lucky one. But I’m also going to throw in the fact that she’s gorgeous as hell, too. I don’t want to miss that one.

Nyrae: laughs Of course. We wouldn’t want anyone to think you’re all heart in there Adrian. Speaking of heart, I have to admit that’s one of my favorite things about you. You might not see it, but you do the same things Laney does. You’ve lived through some horrible things but you have a poet’s heart. There’s more to you inside than people see on the surface.

Adrian: Yeah, the whole “façade” thing. You got real creative on the title there, Nyrae.

Nyrea: Hey! Don’t tease me! It fit.

Adrian: I’m just giving you shit. So what was your question?

Nyrae: I guess I want to know about your writing. What it does for you.

Adrian: I think I kind of described that in the book. What does your writing do for you? It gives an outlet. We all know I’ve had a fucked-up life. There was so much shit inside me that needed to be free but it didn’t have a way out. It was trapped, locked away but then…I don’t even know how it happened but the pen became my key. That key was the only way to unlock my feelings, to get them out of me, even if I was only leaving them on paper. I sure as hell couldn’t talk about it. Definitely not about Ash and when I was a kid…I guess I thought I didn’t have a voice.

Nyrae: Holy crap you are hot. Laney didn’t stand a chance. A guy as gorgeous as you and who talks like that? Wow…

Adrian: winks That’s what all the girls say.

Nyrae: LOL. I’m sure they do. But you’re all committed, and in love now so they don’t stand a chance.

Adrian: Nope.

Nyrae: Okay… I hate doing this but we have to talk about Ash. I know he isn’t something you’ll ever get over, but how are you doing now?

Adrian: closes eyes. Takes a deep breath We take it day by day. Are there still days I wish I could burn the whole fucking world down because we’re all still here and he isn’t? Hell yes…. But I’m happy now too. I’m happy most days when I never was before. I see things and think how he would have liked them or Laney brings something up and it reminds me of a story about him. I can talk about him now and I could never do that shit before. I’m living for him. Next question.

Nyrae: wipes eyes Okay, let’s talk about something fun now. Tell me how everyone is doing.

Adrian: Laney and I are good. We’re both working and going back to school. Colt and Cheyenne are doing their thing. I have to put them in their place once in a while and let ‘em know mine and Laney’s book was way better than CHARADE—

Nyrae: Hey! I resent that! BOTH your books are special. They both hold a special place in my heart. And if I hadn’t met Colt first, I wouldn’t have gotten to meet you….

Adrian: I see how you are. Rubbing it in my face again that I wouldn’t have Laney without you. Laughs Yeah, Charade was good but I have to give him shit. We wouldn’t be friends, if I didn’t.

Nyrae: True. You guys are crazy. How about we leave things off with you telling us your favorite part of the book?”

Adrian: eyebrows go up Can I say the sex?

Nyrae: How did I know that would be your answer?? Okay, what is your favorite part of the book besides the sex?

Adrian: You’re no fun. I guess one of my favorite parts was when Laney and I went away for a few days.

Nyrae: Don’t make yourself think I don’t realize what you just did but I’ll allow it. Thanks for letting me pick your brain a little Adrian. I know this isn’t really your thing so I appreciate it.

Adrian: No problem. Hell, maybe I’ll even do it again sometime… Jillian’s cool people.

Nyrae: Yes, she is. Thanks, Jillian!

 

Thank YOU, Adrian and Nyrae!  What a treat!! XO

Synopsis:

Whose parents abandon them in a trashy trailer when they are five years old? Oh Yeah! Mine do!
Hey Hoochies! I’m Milly, and I am tired of taking kicks to the gut. A broken family, an asshole husband and the loss of loved ones have left me crying Uncle, and declaring a serious case of the Fuck-Its!
I had my heart broken, stomped on and shattered before I ever started on my journey to find my little piece of happiness. With a bucket list, a ’66 Ford and wild dreams, I set out on an adventure that changed my life forever. Follow me on my journey that resurrected my inner badass.
I found my soul sista from another mista, and opened my dream shop along the way. Just when I gave up on finding true love, a pirate and a princess swept me off my ever lovin’ feet and filled my world with sprinkles, mac n’ cheese and the courage to live again. They forced my fragile heart to trust and love without fear.
Truth is, nobody’s past stays hidden forever. It’s an invisible monster waiting to attack and destroy. It has the capability to ruin everything you’ve worked to set right. All it takes is one final blow to the gut to end everything.

Synopsis:

Everyone thinks of me as this happy and upbeat person. What they don’t know is that I carry a deep, dark secret. Something horrible happened to me a year ago, and I have kept it quiet all this time. I was fine for a while, but somehow it’s chosen this time to come back, and it’s eating at me–like a cancer.

I need to tell someone about it, I just don’t know how. I’m pushing everyone I love away, including my mom and my best friend Charlie.

Then there is Will. Handsome, sweet Will. We went out on a date a while back, but then the incident happened leaving me crushed and him confused.

How do you tell someone you care about all of your secrets, and will they still want you when the truth comes out?
