Release Day Blitz & Review…So Right by Abby Millsaps

by Courtney

So Right by Abby Millsaps is now live!

An emotional, steamy, why choose romance from bestselling author Abby Millsaps.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

Spence swore he had a plan. He assured us he had everything under control. He promised we could trust him. What he forgot to mention?

His so-called plan was actually an emotional bombshell with enough force behind it to destroy us all.

Technically, his plan worked—my mother and stepfather have ended their campaign to convince me to be a living organ donor.

But the emotional damage and mental load of his big announcement has created a ripple effect throughout our cohort.

Greedy is haunted and despondent.

Levi is initially shocked, then filled with shame.

Sione is simply annoyed, because he knows this is all a ruse.

Spence is stoic but more determined than ever to ensure our safety.

As for me?

I feel it all. Every sorrowful reaction and warranted frustration thrums through my veins.

But there’s something else there, too: A sense of longing. A deep-seated desire I’ve never allowed myself to admit.

After running the gamut of emotions, I finally land on a surprising truth: I want a baby.

For real.

Right now.

With all of them.

This is it.

I’m ready to claim the happily ever after I deserve with all four of my men by my side. I just have to convince them to go along with my plan and hope like hell that my mother leaves us alone once and for all.

So Right is the fourth and final book in the Boys of South Chapel series. A full list of tropes and triggers can be found on the author’s website.

https://geni.us/sowrong

This is how you end a great series! Perfect title for this book!

So Right starts off where So Rare ended and Abby keeps it engaging til the end.

I won’t give away any spoilers or even really get into details on what happens in this book. But just know that they all get their HEA and it’s the perfect ending to this story.

I will say this is one of my favorite polyamorous reads and have enjoyed Hunter and her men’s story. I loved how each book played out and Abby showed alot of character growth throughout each book.

This series is an absolute must-read!

Meet Abby

Abby Millsaps is an author and storyteller who’s been obsessed with writing romance since middle school. In eighth grade, she failed to qualify for the Power of the Pen State Championships because all her submissions contained the same theme: young people falling in love. #LookAtHerNow

She’s best known for writing unapologetically angsty romance that causes emotional damage for her readers. Abby prides herself in writing authentic characters while weaving mental health, chronic illness, and neurodiverse representation into the fabric of her stories.

Abby met her husband at a house party the summer before her freshman year of college. He had a secret pizza stashed in the trunk of his car that he was saving for a midnight snack–how was she supposed to resist that level of golden retriever energy and preparedness? When Abby isn’t writing, she’s reading, traveling, and raising her three daughters.

by Courtney

Irreversible by Jennifer Hartmann and Chelley St Clair is now live!

𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒔𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒌𝒆𝒑𝒕 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒉𝒊𝒅𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒔.
𝑰 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚…
𝑩𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝑰’𝒎 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎.

I spend my days locked in a black-market nightmare, held captive by a twisted mastermind who considers me his prized possession. My only form of human contact are the victims in the next room, each of whom disappears faster than the last.

Everyone leaves…except me.

Then I hear him—Isaac. Brash, elusive, and haunted, he isn’t anyone’s idea of a hero. Separated by a wall, our faces hidden, his voice cuts through the darkness, becoming my only hope. He’s driven by vengeance, bearing scars as dark as my own. Despite his rough edges, a fragile bond forms between us—a lifeline.

Isaac might be my best chance of escape, but time is slipping away. Breaking free will mean outrunning both our pasts, and in this twisted game, the cost of freedom may be more than we can afford to pay.

Appearances deceive. Choices have consequences.

And some consequences?
They are irreversible.

I have literally stared at my computer for a few hours, trying to gather my thoughts on this.

All I have is – this book is a MUST READ. That’s all I keep thinking. So I am sure you are thinking, but why 4 stars and not 5 stars if it’s a MUST READ?

Well this book is marketed as a dark romance and while there are some romantic aspects to this story, I would be hesitant to call it a dark romance. Don’t get me wrong, I loved this story and the elements surrounding it, but I felt a bit letdown in the romance area.

Jennifer and Chelley deliver a suspenseful story that has some very dark elements that keeps readers engaged throughout the entirety of the story. This is what I loved most about this book – sitting at the edge of my seat, impatiently needing to know what happens next.

Overall, this is a great dark, suspenseful story. Just don’t expect too much in the romance area.

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…Comeback by Rebecca Jenshak

by Courtney

Comeback by Rebecca Jenshak is now live!

My brother’s best friend is such a jerk.

An imposing, handsome jerk who doesn’t trust me. And now we’re roommates.

He wanders around the apartment in nothing but gray sweatpants, looking like a broody, tattooed muscle god, and playing music that shakes the walls. I want to hate him for treating me like an intruder, but there’s something about the way he looks at me—like he’s trying to figure me out—that keeps pulling me in.

Archer Holland is loyal, caring, and protective—with everyone except me.

Every time I move around our apartment, I can feel his glare. And the worst part? It only makes me want him more.

Not that it matters.

He’s my brother’s best friend—the one guy I can never have. But after a late-night rescue, we go from sharing a wall to sharing a bed.

I’m not sure what my brother would do if he found out, but it doesn’t matter because Archer says it can’t happen again.

That imposing, handsome jerk is about to find out I’m done playing by his rules.

Comeback is a football romance with lots of spice, swoon, and a happily ever after. It’s the third book in the Holland Brothers series and can be read as a standalone.

Cover Reveal…Loving The Reaper by Lola King

by Courtney

Lola King has revealed the cover for Loving The Reaper!

Releasing: April 4, 2025

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.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Not Your Biggest Fan by Sara Ney

by Courtney

NOT YOUR BIGGEST FAN

Sara Ney

Release Date: January 28

Blurb:

USA Today bestselling author Sara Ney sizzles with a quick-witted, sexy romp about an eager entrepreneur and a cocky football star who couldn’t be more different—or more into each other.

Harlow James is destined to rock the dating world. The creator of Kissmet, the app helping singles find love, she’s in New York to secure advertisers. But the sassy, small-town girl can’t help meddling in other people’s business.

When she runs into a muscular stranger at her go-to food truck, Harlow doesn’t realize he’s Landon “Andy” Burke, the NFL’s most-wanted free agent, in town to talk contracts. She just sees a hottie about to get burned by undercooked street food. Though she tries to warn him, he shrugs her off, making a little wager instead.

In a messy twist of fate, Andy finds himself in the same hotel as Harlow. When she collects on their bet, they make a mind-blowing—and bed-rocking—connection. But after the weekend, she goes home to Green Bay to her goofy dad and corgi, ready to focus everything on work again. Kissmet, however, has other ideas, when Andy knocks on her door…

Buy Link:

https://books2read.com/NYBFSaraNeyKU

Available in KU

Not Your Biggest Fan was a very cute sports romance in Sara’s newest series, Not Yours.

I have always enjoyed Sara’s books as they are very light, hardly any drama or angst, lots of humor and characters that make you smile. And you get exactly that with this book.

The meet-cute between Harlow and Andy is very endearing and really sets the tone for this book. Harlow is quite the character and while she says she’s not like her father (Big Steve will be a fave of readers) she definitely exudes the same confidence and inner-strength he has. Andy was entertaining at times, but he really didn’t do much for me, but that didn’t deter me from enjoying the story.

As with most of Sara’s books, the story takes place over a short period of time and we get to see how these characters get to know one another and leaves their outcome open-ended (sometimes seen in other books of the series). I love that Sara’s books have this sort of ending for her characters because nothing is set in stone for them for the future and allows readers to create their own epilogue of sorts.

I am looking forward to more from this series and anxiously await to see who takes Dex down.

Sara Ney is the USA Today Bestselling Author of the How to Date a Douchebag series, and is best known for her sexy, laugh-out-loud New Adult romances.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Queens and Monsters by Aleatha Romig

by Courtney

QUEENS & MONSTERS

Aleatha Romig

Release Date: January 27

Reinaldo Roríguez

Emiliano Ruiz

Both are dangerous, deadly, and powerful. Both are second-generation soldiers proving themselves in the Roríguez cartel.

Both want me.

Of course, I wasn’t told until it was too late. That’s the way things work in the famiglia. My fate is up to Dario Luciano, my guardian.

He doesn’t care the way the men make me feel. How when I’m near them, the air crackles and my skin warms with stinging electricity, stirring something deep inside me that never before existed.

One fills me with desire, twisting my insides.

The other recognizes my need to be loved, filling me with a comfortable warmth.

By the time I learn that both have requested my hand, a deal has been brokered.

Neither man from the Roríguez cartel will have me.

I’ve been promised to another, the son of Dario’s sworn enemy.

Will I have any say in my future?

What will happen to the alliance between the Luciano famiglia and the Roríguez cartel when tragedy strikes?

Have you been Aleatha’d?

QUEENS AND MONSTERS is a stand-alone dangerous Mafia/cartel romance in the “Brutal Vows” series. Each arranged-marriage story is filled with the suspense, intrigue, and heat you’ve come to expect from New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig.

Grab Your Copy!

https://books2read.com/u/br0Y9W

This was quite the wild ride and I loved every minute of it.

These books need to be read in order because there is an underlying plotline happening throughout each book. Each book does focus on a particular set of characters, but they all play into the underlying plotline, which just adds to the overall story.

Aleatha really knows how to write these mafia stories that keep readers engaged the whole time and flipping pages quickly. Her storytelling just pulls you in and leaves you wanting more.

Queens and Monsters truly showcases how well Aleatha intertwines the mafia/cartel worlds and how they “cater” to one another, when it fits their goals. There is so much going on but it’s never confusing to the reader and it all blends so seamlessly.

The blurb gives you all need to know going into this. I won’t spoil anything by attempting to give you any rundown of what happens in this book or any small parts because I loved seeing things unfold without any knowledge of anything but the blurb beforehand.

I am loving this series and cannot wait to see what she brings us in the next book.

Meet Aleatha Romig:

Aleatha Romig is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author who lives in Indiana. She grew up in Mishawaka, graduated from Indiana University, and is currently living south of Indianapolis. Together with her high-school sweetheart and husband of over thirty years, they’ve raised three children. Before she became a full-time author, she worked days as a dental hygienist and spent her nights writing. Now, when she’s not imagining mind-blowing twists and turns or her new lighter side, she likes to spend her time with her family and friends. Her pastimes include reading and creating heroes/anti-heroes who haunt your dreams!

Cover Reveal…The Drummer’s Heart by Penelope Ward

by Courtney

Title: The Drummer’s Heart

Author: Penelope Ward

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Rockstar Hero/”My Wife”/Small Town

Close Proximity/Slow Burn/One Bed

Cover Design: Letitia Hasser, RBA Designs

Photographer: © Wander Aguiar Photography

Model: Jerrin Strenge

Release Date: February 23, 2025

BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE novel…

Don’t say her name.

That was the one rule my bandmates followed, because they knew how much it messed me up to think about her, especially on tour.

My ex, Nicole.

The one who got away and the woman who still owned every piece of my heart.

After our divorce, I threw myself into the rock scene, trying to forget my heartbreak.

Three years after we split, a phone call from Nicole changed everything.

She told me her grandmother wasn’t doing well.

Mimi was still family to me, and she apparently had one wish before dying: to spend time with us—Nicole and me.

With Mimi’s caretaker away on vacation, it would be the ideal time for us to move in with her for a couple of weeks.

Of course, I couldn’t refuse.

But there was a catch.

Nicole apparently never told her that we’d gotten a divorce.

She hadn’t believed Mimi could handle it, because her grandmother loved me so much.

So, not only would I have to see Nicole again, but I’d be pretending to still be her husband.

Two weeks in a tiny house in a small town with the woman who broke my heart. Or was it me who broke hers?

It was complicated.

And it was about to be a heck of a lot more complicated sharing one bed in the guest room with a woman who wasn’t mine anymore.

Release Day & Review…Untamed by Jane Henry

by Courtney

Untamed by Jane Henry is now live!

When fiction meets fantasy it’s not all fun and games..

I don’t just dream about possessive anti-heroes.

I crave them.

The dark, dangerous ones dripping with Bratva energy, the ones who claim you with a single look and make the world kneel at your feet just to keep you safe.

“Touch her and die…”? I live for it.

“My wife…”? My favorite.

It’s all a harmless fantasy.

Until it’s not.

I’ve built an online following fan-girling over book boyfriends just like him.

And he knows it.

The only problem? Rodion Kopolev doesn’t just embody the dark anti-heroes I love…he is one.

So when his obsessive focus lands on me, I feel like the heroine in one of my books.

His possessive words claim me.

His dominant touch brands me.

And when I try to run, he chases…

But when the threats of my past creep closer and I need protection from a dangerous stalker, Rodion is the devil willing to protect me… for a price.

Turns out, when the fantasy becomes reality, it’s not so harmless after all…

Please note: Untamed is a standalone dark romance with a strong, fierce heroine and an unapologetically obsessive, jealous, and possessive alpha anti-hero. No OW drama, no cliffhanger, always a hard-won HEA.

RODION & EMBER!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This book had me all-in from the get-go. Hook. Line. Sinker.

Jane wrote this book flawlessly. From the characters, to the storyline, to the undeniable burning chemistry and how it played out and along with the plot. Jane merged all of it with impeccable plotting and it flowed beautifully.

Rodion and Amber were an absolute perfect match for one another in so many ways. The banter, push & pull, and hot-as-sin scenes (and not just those *ahem* scenes) it just added to the intensity of this book.

Let’s not forget this is a MAFIA romance. There is no shortage of drama & action as Rodion is out to prove to his brothers that he’s not the slacker they think he is.

I love this one so much more than the first & I’m excited to see what Jane delivers in the next books.

Highly recommended!!

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.

Cover Reveal…Lucky Shot by K. Bromberg

by Courtney

K. Bromberg has revealed the gorgeous cover for Lucky Shot!

𝐀 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐲/𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥, 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐘𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫, 𝐊. 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐠

Our first meeting? He stood me up.
Our second chance encounter? I told him exactly what I thought of him.
Our third? It came with a bet (he lost) and an understanding that we’re stuck with one another.

It doesn’t matter that he’s Alexander Hardy—British soccer star extraordinaire, world-famous in every way, and a certified sex symbol. We come from two different worlds and live in two different realities. But all we need is one month.

The bet: Help him rehab his reputation to the media and the masses, and in exchange, he’ll help my soccer academy and the underprivileged kids who idolize him.

That doesn’t mean I have to like him. Not his delicious accent, his sexy smirk or those storm cloud gray eyes. Not his incredibly fit body or his sinfully dirty mouth. Not even the way he shows up day after day for the kids or the way he looks at me like he wants to devour me.

He looks at time spent in my world as a penance, while I look at it as a way to leverage his star power to help my academy survive.

But as the days turn to weeks, it seems we’re not as different as I once thought. The man who cares about no one, has fixed his sights on me. With his time at my academy up and his obligations back home calling, do we have a lucky shot of working out?

Eve has just graduated from high school, but she doesn’t know what’s next aside from working at the local motel, spying on Kyle, her neighbor, and stealing apples from his orchard. If she doesn’t figure things out soon, she’ll be stuck at home and treated like a child forever.

Kyle is a single dad and the new football coach who needs a babysitter for his adorable son. When he meets Eve, there’s an instant connection because she reminds him of someone—himself. But Eve is the preacher’s daughter, off-limits, and Kyle has already had his heart trampled by his ex.

After earning his son’s affection with her homemade apple sauce and youthful spirit, Eve asks Kyle to teach her things like driving his fishing boat and shooting his hunting bow. Despite his better judgment, he agrees, but swears Eve to secrecy so no one gets the wrong idea about them.

Their playful banter and innocent flirting crosses a line, and Kyle misses the heartbreaking secret Eve’s hidden in plain sight.

When tragedy strikes, can they find their way back to each other?

The Apple Tree is a standalone in the Sunday Morning series by USA Today & Wall Street Journal Bestselling author Jewel E. Ann.

Meet Jewel E. Ann

I know this will sound completely biased, but there isn’t anything by Jewel that I will not devour and love wholeheartedly.

Jewel’s writing is unbelievably captivating and no matter what the storyline, characters or overall plot, readers are enthralled with the entirety of the book.

Eve and Kyle’s story is quite the emotional yet hilarious journey that makes me smile and brings tears to my eyes at the same time. There is so much that these two endure, that I was really wondering, “will they get their HEA?”

I won’t say much more on this book. Jewel delivers another phenomenal and realistic story that readers will not be able to put down once they start.

Jewel is a Wall Street Journal & USA Today bestselling author with a quirky sense of humor. When she’s not saving the planet one tree at a time, you can find her role modeling questionable behavior to her three boys, binge-watching Netflix with her husband, and writing mind-bending romance.

by Courtney

The Moon & His Tides by Giana Darling is now live!

From Wall Street Journal best-selling author Giana Darling comes an MMF romance between an Italian chauffeur dreaming of stardom and the power couple who offer him the deal of a lifetime…

Everyone in Naples told me I was tall, dark, and handsome. An Italian with golden eyes made for fame on the silver screen, even when I was just the young patriarch of my broken, scattered family.

I may have beauty and talent, but opportunities are scarce in the theatre and film industry.

That is, until I become chauffeur to the lovely and glamorous Savannah Meyers, wife to one of the most revered actors in England.

She notices me…in more ways than one.

Before I can check my impulses, I find myself falling for Savannah and her promises.

Only, instead of enraging her husband, Adam Meyers, they approach me to make a very scandalous proposition.

Live with them as their lover, and they will make all of my wildest dreams come true.
