Release Day Blitz & Review…Vengeance and Venom by Keary Taylor

There are vampires in New York City. Turns out, they’re everywhere.

I went in to find my best friend. Ophelia disappeared without a trace after going to one of those elusive Red parties. Turns out Red parties are where vampires feed on willing humans, and where some people vanish, never to be seen again.

I went to that party for answers. What I found was a dangerously gorgeous vampire with tattoos, piercings, and a legacy as dark as the shadows he moves in—Ares Hunt. He insists I’m in way over my head. Maybe I am. But when I refuse to give up without a fight, Ares makes a proposal: he’ll help me find Ophelia, but in return, I have to pretend to be his fiancée so he can infiltrate his father’s inner circle. His father, a powerful vampire, is at the heart of these Red parties, and Ares is desperate to bring him down.

Suddenly, I’m living in a world I barely understand—wearing a massive engagement ring, sharing a penthouse with Ares, and mingling with the vampire elite. Pretending to be Ares’ fiancée turns my entire world upside down. With every passing day, our business arrangement begins to blur. Ares is intoxicating. He’s a man born of darkness, filled with venom that equals my need for vengeance, but I see the protective man hidden beneath the rough exterior. He helps me face my demons. He makes me feel like I belong. And when he kisses me for the first time?

I realize Ares was right – I am in way over my head.

A note to readers: Vengeance and Venom features spicier content, more explicit language, and darker themes than Keary Taylor books of the past.

Amazon

VENGEANCE & VENOM is available in Kindle Unlimited. You can also grab the audio version on Audible, or the hardback on Amazon

You’re just going to leave us hanging like that!?!? That build-up and then the perfect pace that literally leaves us begging for more…

First and foremost, you can absolutely read this book with zero prior knowledge to any of the other books in this universe. Keary does a great job of describing this entire word in this book so you have an idea of what encompasses the universe, but doesn’t take away from this series and particular world.

Vengeance and Venom – they are out to get their own justice and answers but never expected to need the other. Nor to find solace and romance in one another.

Keary starts this series incredibly well and gives readers the slow-burn and perfect building blocks to what will be another phenomenal series. I enjoy the background of the Born and how they came to be. The history of Venom and his family and how all other families work together.

I want to say so much more, but want readers to experience this story the way I did – with very little knowledge except what the blurb says.

Keary delivers another heart-pumping , fast-paced paranormal story in her Blood Descendants Universe. I cannot wait for the next book.

Cover Reveal…Sugar Pop by Alta Hensley

Alta Hensley has revealed the gorgeous cover for Sugar Pop!

Releasing: February 25, 2025

Cover Design: Emily Wittig

I just made a decision that could not only ruin my life… but end it.

Defying the overprotective and obsessive men around me, I’m left with no choice but to step into the fighting ring myself.

But my fateful decision will have consequences.

I’m not the innocent girl they first claimed I was anymore.

This is their dark world. Their rules. Their deadly game… and I just became an unwilling player.

Blood money. Dark deals. Corruption that suffocates everything it touches.

Frankie still dominates with the intensity of Freakshow, his need to control me growing stronger with each passing night.

Bones pushes his body to the breaking point, taking punishment that leaves me aching to heal him.

And Lotto… he watches from the shadows, his calculated manipulation making me burn in ways I never thought possible.

They think they can protect me from the violence that defines every part of who they are. They’re wrong.

To these men, I may bring chaos, but in me, they’ve unleashed something darker… something dangerous.

And I’m not sure they’re ready for what’s to come.

Cover Reveal…For Wrath and Redemption by Brit Benson

FOR WRATH AND REDEMPTION

Brit Benson

Release Date: March 14

Blurb:

This temptation is my punishment.

His redemption is my penance. 

Jonah Hendrix is the bad boy of the music industry.

As lead guitarist of The Hometown Heartless, 

negative press follows him like a scorned lover,

And even his fans fuel the flames of his torched reputation.

Despite his permanent residence in the media,

He’s never been on my radar.

Not until my boss comes to me with a proposition:

Join The Hometown Heartless on tour to redeem Jonah in the public eye, 

and finally get the promotion I’ve been working toward.

I’m not a PR specialist, and it’s not my career ambition, 

but I’m determined to see this job through.

As long as I treat the surly rock star like a brand, 

I’ll succeed in rehabbing his reputation and survive the tour with my sanity intact.

The problem?

Jonah and I have more in common than either of us realized.

And that desire for connection?

It’s proving to be irresistible.

Meet Brit Benson:

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.

Cover Reveal…Save Your Breath by Kandi Steiner

Kandi Steiner has revealed the gorgeous covers for Save Your Breath!

Releasing: March 20, 2025

Model Cover Designer: Kandi Steiner

Photographer: Ren Saliba

Model: Anonymous

Discreet Cover Designer: Staci Hart

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

That was the headline we 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.

Cover Reveal…The Kiss Lottery by Ilsa Madden-Mills

Ilsa Madden-Mills has revealed the cover for The Kiss Lottery!

Releasing February 11, 2025

From bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills comes a steamy story about first love and second chances where a city girl returns home for a Valentine’s Day tradition…and the boy who broke her heart.
Roses are red, violets are blue–someone in Rose has feelings for you…
Yeah, bad ones. Everly Davis didn’t leave her tight-knit hometown on the best terms. It’s been ten years, but you don’t forget heartbreak like that. Then again, the anonymous invite to the annual Kiss Lottery in Rose, Tennessee, gives Everly content for her podcast. And she has a bone to pick with that old heartbreak anyway.
Beckett Whitfield has never left Rose–and he’s never forgotten Everly. He even named the villain in his latest bestseller after her. Turns out she’s not happy about that. Nothing about their reunion is particularly happy, and after the way they left things, what did he expect?
When the Kiss Lottery pairs them together, Everly and Beckett will have to confront old feelings that never went away and the secrets they never shared. But finally telling each other everything might be exactly what they’ve needed all along.

Release Day Blitz…Reckless Love by Willow Aster

Reckless Love by Willow Aster is now live! 

A sexy small-town, single dad, friends-to-lovers romance by USA Today bestselling author, Willow Aster


I fell in love with Rhodes Archer the night we met thirteen years ago.

We made a pact that night to never cross the just-friends zone.

However, Rhodes crossed that line by kissing me recently, and I can’t get over it.

I’ve loved him, ached for him, craved him for years, but I’ve never wanted to ruin what we have.

And now, when I’m a cheerleader for the Colorado Mustangs and he’s their superstar tight end, we’re not even supposed to be in the same room, let alone be together.

But, he is everything to me.

And that includes my godson, Rhodes’ adorable three-year-old son, Levi, who I love as my own.

It’s impossible to stay away from each other. And I don’t want to when I can still feel his lips on mine and the lingering touches between us.

The lines have blurred, and rules are being broken…

I just hope we aren’t being too reckless and break each other’s hearts in the process.

Reckless Love is book three in The Single Dad Playbook series. Each book can be read as a standalone.

Slayed By Darkness

A growl rumbled in his throat. He’d spent thousands of nights imagining holding this female in his arms. Nibbling her from head to toe and drinking deep of her decadent blood. She’d been a nagging hunger that refused to leave him in peace.
Now, watching her stroll just a few feet away, his entire being was on fire with a savage need to leap out of the car and claim her. This was why he’d stayed away. He knew his desire for her would be this intense. This grindingly overwhelming.
It made her too dangerous. He couldn’t risk being blinded by a female who’d already killed him once…

Evermore

“I’m going to kiss you. Right. Now.”
And then he does.
But it’s nothing like our first kiss. It’s not fumbling, unsure, or soft. This kiss is powerful and full of passion. Benjamin Pryce kisses like he owns the world. My lips are molded to his and my hands grip his elbows. The heat from his touch is felt down in my toes.
I have never in my entire life been kissed like this.
When his fingers slide back into my hair I gasp, and he uses that opportunity to slide his tongue in. At the first feel of it against mine, I lose it.

The Close-Up

The rest of my apology slithers back down my throat, swallowed by a gasp of shock. I haven’t seen the face above me in a long time—at least, not in person. The dark skin and carved bone structure is leaner and more pronounced now than it was before. Same square chin and bold nose and heavy brows. The guarded eyes are paradoxically framed by a feathering of long, curling lashes. He’s still as arresting as he was the day I met him when I was eighteen years old, but I never thought I’d come face-to-face with him again.

“Takira,” he says, the same surprise coloring his voice that I’m sure is scrawled all over my face.
I take a deep steadying breath that doesn’t seem to be steadying anything before answering, “Naz.”

Rafe

The past eight years of my life melt away when Calliope’s lips touch mine.
Gone.
My entire professional hockey career fades.
The women I’ve dated over time…faceless.
The money I’ve made, unimportant.
Fuck, I’d forgotten how good she tastes. Her tongue touches mine, and when an electric surge of longing pulses through me, I realize we are in dangerous territory. Calliope has no clue that I’ve carried an agonizing torch of desire for my first true love all these years. She can’t understand the depth of my feelings, and if I don’t draw away now, this could be disastrous.

Rough Rhythm

Too late to turn back. Coming to his knees above her, James curled his right hand around her throat, exerting just enough pressure to keep her still. Pink, teeth-marked lips popped open to suck in a breath. A breath James could feel being inhaled against his palm. So perfect. “There’s my little plaything.” He adjusted his grip. “Is that what you wanted to hear?”

Lita’s eyelids fluttered down to conceal her gaze, an acknowledgment of the pet name he’d growled in her ear so long ago in the dark. Just once. But it had been enough to remain poised on his tongue ever since, pleading to be uttered aloud.
James leaned down to inspect the curve of her cheek. “If another man called you his plaything, Lita, I would gut him.”
