Jared was my everything until an ocean separated us and he abandoned me when I

cannot move on.

I didn’t believe my fractured heart and broken soul could endure any more pain. Until

Then he reappears at my door, begging me for another chance.

I know I should turn him away.
Try telling that to my heart.

Tell It To My Heart is a second-chance rockstar romance and I am here for it!

This review (like most of mine) will not reword the blurb nor will I summarize what happens. The blurb is all you need to know going into this.

In true Siobhan style, she pulls you in from the beginning, keeps you transfixed the entire time, all the while, has you understanding and empathizing with these characters.

The story is told from both POVs and the story flows absolutely perfectly. It is a slow burn that is filled with angst, some suspense and heat.

A definite must read!

Release Day Blitz…Anger Bang by Avery Flynn

Anger Bang by Avery Flynn is now live!

Sometimes the only answer is to just bang it out.

Like today, for example. I’m in actual hell at my sister’s over-the-top reality TV wedding and up until now, I’ve been able to handle it all. The horrible bridesmaids. My relentless mother. Even the awful eighties fashion to fit the retro theme. But when my sister nonchalantly mentioned that she never even wanted me at the wedding—the producers insisted—ouch doesn’t fully express how much it hurts.

So for the first time I don’t think. I just do. And as a shy paleontologist who plans everything, I probably should have taken a moment.

But here we are.

I’ve just asked the best man, who my sister absolutely loathes and who can’t stand her right back, if he’s up for a little naked revenge with me. The cameras are filming every horrifying second, and the whispers have begun. (Did I mention that the music happened to stop just as I asked him?)

But then his mouth quirks up, and he does the last thing I expect.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Between Never and Forever by Brit Benson

 

 Release Date: June 23

 

 

She was the first rule I ever broke. 

 

She’ll be the last.

 

In the beginning, there was Savannah Shaw. 

Teasing me with a mischievous, merciless grin by day. 

 

Crawling through my window with tear-stained cheeks by night.

 

I was ordered to avoid her.

Lectured on her misdeeds.

Forbidden from seeing her.

 

But my need to protect her was innate, so natural I never

 

questioned it.

 

 

 

So visceral I couldn’t fight it.

 

 

She was the first rule I ever broke, and it’s why I lost her the

 

first time.

 

Now, out of nowhere, there is Sav Loveless.

 

World famous front woman for The Hometown Heartless, Hollywood’s newest up-and-coming film star, and my daughter’s idol.

 

 

Her reputation for trouble precedes her, but the celebrity who sets foot in my small town is no longer a girl in need of protection.

 

 

She’s a woman who has saved herself, and this time, it’s my life that’s falling apart. 

 

Maintaining the distance between us is imperative, but everything about her pulls at every part of me.

My need to touch her clouds my logic.

 

My need to have her, to own her, to love her.

 

She’ll be the last rule I ever break, 

but this time, it will be to keep her.

 

***

Between Never and Forever is an angsty and spicy standalone contemporary romance. It follows rockstar, single father, small town, and second chance tropes, and has a guaranteed HEA.

 

This book contains content that may be considered in appropriate for readers under 18.

Release Blitz…Favorite Mistake by Jessica Prince

Title: Favorite Mistake
Author: Jessica Prince
Series: Redemption

Contemporary Romance, Small Town Romance, Romantic Suspense, Man In Uniform

He was the town’s golden boy, their all-American hero. But there was a side of him he’d only shown her.

When Lyric Jackson stopped for gas in Redemption, Tennessee, she wasn’t sure what to think of the small town nestled in the middle of the Smoky Mountains. Then she got one look at Holton Clarke, saw that charming smile, and fell instantly. One night with the man in uniform sparked an ember of hope, but things didn’t quite end how she’d expected.

All Holton Clarke ever wanted to do was protect the people he cares about. He thought he’d be able to do that better as a deputy for his hometown, but one call turned his whole world and everything he thought he knew upside down. Including what he’d hoped for his future with a certain sassy librarian.

But when danger from Lyric’s past comes calling, Holton has to put his fears and insecurities to the side in order to save the woman who has gotten under his skin, but she refuses to make it easy, or give him a second chance. Now she’s under his roof, sharing his bed, and throwing him attitude and dirty looks every chance she gets.

She might claim that nothing is ever going to happen between them, but that one night they’d shared was his favorite mistake ever, and he has every intention of repeating it for the rest of his life.

**The Redemption series is a series of interconnected, standalone, small town romances.**

Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That’s why God created central air, after all.

Jessica is the mother of a perfect little boy–she refuses to accept that he inherited her attitude and sarcastic nature no matter what her husband says.

In addition to being a wife and mom, she’s also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books–romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it’s a passion…there’s a difference. Not that she’d expect a boy to understand.

Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Love Sick by Monica James

LOVE SICK

Monica James

Series: Heart Memory Transfer Duet: Book Two

Genre: Dark Romance/ Gothic Horror

Cover Model: Darcie Hamilton @darcie_hamilton

Photographer: Michelle Lancaster @lanefotograf

Cover Designer: Lori Jackson Design @lorilovesbookjackson


All I want is revenge.

But I’m afraid it will destroy me because I’m not a monster.

Or maybe I am.

And that’s thanks to Doctor Alanna Norton.

She’s tortured me.

She’s made me forget who I am.

And she’s done all this in the name of love.

But the love I feel for my son, who was stolen from me, will triumph. I won’t accept any other outcome.

There is another love which I will fight for—Dutch Atwood.

But what I find…the sting of betrayal lingers. I look at Dutch through new eyes; he doesn’t trust me, and I don’t trust him.

I’m faced with so many scenarios—I wish I knew how this story ends so I can make the right choice.

But there is no right in the hand I was dealt.

Alanna wants love so badly, so I intend to show her what true love looks like, because the only thing that matters is getting out of here…but not before I take from Alanna what she took from me.

Her heart.


YES! YES! YES!

Cue all the accolades and applause for Monica!!

HOT DAMN!! Monica, you have blown me away with this duet.

Love Sick is the continuation of Heart Sick and conclusion to this duet.  And god damn, it was worth the wild and chaotic ride.  

This duet is like nothing I have read before and Monica’s delivery of this story is superb. I was enraptured from the start and no matter how disturbing the scene became, I was all in!!  

“In every book, every reader wants to know why… why did the villain do what they did? They want to know their backstory to know why they’re the bad guy”

GAH!!  This book, this duet, was insane in the best ways. I could not get enough of it.

Luna and Dutch’s story is heartbreakingly beautiful.

Just go read it but heed the trigger warnings if you are sensitive to certain things.

Cover Reveal…Loving You by Samantha Chase

Samantha Chase has revealed the gorgeous cover for Loving You!

Releasing: September 19, 2023

Cover Design: Kari March Designs

He was never planning on staying in Sweetbriar Ridge.
Then the perfect woman fell into his arms.

Not everyone in Sweetbriar Ridge is as sweet as the town name would suggest. But single mom Jade Mackenzie is up to the challenge of winning over the town if that’s what it takes to make her new shop a success. After all, this is just the latest in a long string of battles she’s had to face. Since she’s given up on men-all of them except for her son-she can throw all her energy into the new business. Or so she thought until the most charming and too-good-looking-for-his-own-good man walked into her shop. And she literally falls into his arms.


Levi Donovan knows how to charm his way through life; winning people over is just what he does. But no amount of charm can save him when he’s at the center of a scandal that costs him his position at a prestigious ad agency. With no other choice, he’s forced to return home to Sweetbriar Ridge, the small town he left behind the first chance he got. When he meets the owner of the new coffeehouse, he starts to think that small towns aren’t so bad. And when he finds out Jade needs a little help promoting her new business, Levi makes it his mission to help her make the shop a success. That’s just what a good friend does.

No matter how hard she tries to resist, Jade can’t help but be swept away by Levi’s good looks and the sweet way he interacts with her son. But Levi isn’t staying, and getting attached would be a mistake. Levi always swore he would never settle in Sweetbriar Ridge, but could loving Jade be reason enough to stay?


*Each book in the Donovans series can be read as a standalone*

Release Day Blitz & Review…Little Girl Vanished by Denise Grover Swank

 

Little Girl Vanished by Denise Grover Swank is now live!

 

Disgraced, ex-detective Harper Adams is perfectly content wallowing at rock bottom. She’s lost her job, house, and reputation, and it only gets worse when she’s forced to move back home to Jackson Creek, Arkansas, the one place she swore she’d never return.

But everything changes when she gets chilling news. A childhood friend’s daughter is missing…and it’s eerily reminiscent of Harper’s sister’s kidnapping and murder two decades ago.

Not her business.

Except with the police fumbling the case at every turn, Harper realizes she might be the only one who can save the girl.

And she might need the help of James Malcolm, a former crime boss, to do it.

It’s been a good 10+ years since I have read a book by DGS and honestly, I don’t know why.  

Denise’s ability to write enthralling and captivating mysteries is second-to-none. She writes characters that are authentic and real and allows readers to connect to them and just makes the story all the more surreal.

Little Girl Vanished is the first book in Denise’s newest series, Harper Adams Mystery and sets the pace for this series perfectly. 

The blurb gives you all the details you need to know about this book and I am not going to rehash that in my review. But I will tell you how well written this story is.

Denise breathes life into these characters. You easily get a sense of who these characters are through their emotions, actions and mannerisms. The banter amongst them all also tis very telling of who these individuals are.

Harper is struggling to come to grips with moving back home and no longer being a detective and you can emphasize with her throughout the book and the choices she makes. But you also understand who she is as a detective and why she chose that profession – she’s damn good at it.

James is a bit mysterious but you know that he’s also has a very fearful past. However, you never know the true reason behind his decisions and choices.

I absolutely loved the start of this series and cannot wait to see what happens in the coming books.  I am all in on this series.

Crimson River is the fifth book in The Eden series by Devney Perry and this one is slightly different than the other books this is more mystery and suspense, while the others were more contemporary romance.

I love this book the most out of all of them because of its unique storyline and that it veered off the path a bit. Devney did a wonderful job of giving this book the perfect blend of suspense with the romance and piecing the story together perfectly.

Crimson River moved at the perfect, not just the story itself, but how everyone interacted and how things developed as the story progressed.  It all felt natural and nothing felt forced or added for dramatic effect.

And I have to say that I love the mystery story happens to surround Lyla and she is probably the last Eden that I would ever expect to find in this situation.  I loved it!!

Another phenomenal book from Devney and the perfect story for Lyla Eden.

Release Day Blitz…Tangled With You by J. Kenner

“He wanted this.
He wanted Trevor.
Every touch.
Every caress.
Every kiss.”

Tangled With You, an all-new steamy Stark Security novella from New York Times bestselling author J. Kenner is available now!

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author J. Kenner comes a new story in her Stark Security series…

He never expected to feel this kind of heat again…

FBI agent Ollie McKee is burned out on relationships. After a head-spinningly on-again/off-again relationship with his former fiancée, he’s been out of the dating pool for years. Now he’s focused on his career—and it’s getting more intense. Because Ollie’s ex was just kidnapped, and despite the rules, he’s resolved to work the case and find her.

Stark Security agent Trevor Barone knows better than to fall for a friend, especially one who’s straight. But there’s no denying the way his heart and body react around Ollie, especially after the last quick mission they worked together. He swore to himself to keep his distance. But now Ollie’s begging for his help. The woman he once loved—maybe still loves—has been kidnapped, and Ollie’s determined to bring her home alive. Trevor’s not about to let his friend down, but as they work the case together, the attraction and connection between them can’t be denied.

When the kidnappers turn deadly, Ollie and Trevor put their lives in each other’s hands. But can they trust the passion that threatens to consume them both?

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Keep reading for a look inside Tangled With You!

As soon as Trevor was alone, he exhaled, his entire body relaxing. He was being a selfish ass, and he knew he shouldn’t have come by, especially not without calling first.
He had a solid friendship going with Ollie, and he didn’t want to ruin it because he was acting like a schoolboy who didn’t know how to handle a crush.
But he did have a crush. And if he didn’t dial it back, he was going to ruin a friendship he truly valued.
Ollie was straight. Or if he wasn’t, he wanted to be. He’d had a lifelong crush on Nikki Stark, which everyone knew. Trevor was pretty sure he’d slept with Jamie at some point. And he knew that Ollie had been engaged to a woman named Courtney.
Straight. The guy was straight.
Even if there was a thread of queer in Ollie’s blood, he’d spent a lifetime either ignoring or suppressing it. The man was a good friend. That was all.
Trevor needed to get that through his thick head. And the sooner he did, the better.
Too bad his libido kept ignoring that very sound advice. Ollie had rung all his bells since the first time he’d met the attorney-turned-FBI-agent when their paths crossed back when poor Anne had been kidnapped. But their friendship had truly solidified not long ago at a party they’d both attended in honor of Jamie’s first starring role in Intercontinental.
By then, he’d been crushing hard, and it had only gotten more intense when Ollie had pulled him in to help on an FBI money laundering sting at the Mercury Club, a gay strip bar in LA. Trevor had wormed his way in as an actual stripper, and Ollie had posed as a customer. The operation had lasted a couple of weeks, and Trevor’d had plenty of time to watch Ollie in the audience. To see what he thought was a spark of interest in his friend’s eyes.
Maybe he’d been imagining it, but he didn’t think so. And that spark had lit a fire under his own desires, raising the heat from slow burn to full-on boil.
But real or not, Trevor knew damn well that Ollie was fighting it.
Honestly, crushing on a straight guy was a pain in the ass.
He could tell himself that forever, but it didn’t stop the tightening in his chest or the sparks of awareness that shot through him when Ollie returned carrying the folding chair. He was wearing paint-splattered jeans and a similarly stained white tee that did nothing to hide the fact that the guy was in great shape. He’d heard Jamie tease him for being skinny, but Trevor didn’t see it. Maybe before Trevor knew him, but if so, the guy had filled out. Ollie had always looked pretty damn delicious to him, with solid pecs, strong arms, and a tight ass that he really wanted to grab.
And so much for that whole dialing it back thing.

Blurb:

Summer Jones only wants three things in life:

1. Keep her house plants alive.
2. Open a beautiful bed-and-breakfast.

3. Never see or speak to Beckett Valentine again.

None of those things are currently possible.

Summer Jones and Beckett Valentine are rivals and have never wanted the same things in life except for the newly for sale Horseshoe Creek Ranch. Summer thought her dreams of building a B&B would finally come true until her number one enemy decides he wants the land, too. Beckett plays dirty and refuses to give her what she wants—a common theme in their relationship—and the dream of acquiring the property turns into a living nightmare.

They might’ve been at each other’s throats since they were teens, but the stakes have never been so high. And right now, she’s more determined than ever to take down her best friend’s older brother—cowboy boots and all.

**Bless Your Heart is a small town, enemies to lovers, best friend’s older brother, contemporary southern romance with a guaranteed happily ever after. Each book in the Valentine Texas series is a stand-alone. Warning: this book contains tons of Southern sass, sarcasm, and lots of spice! Fade to black is not included.**

Bless Your Heart is the first book in Lyla’s newest series, Valentine Texas, and knows how to grab her readers and keep them vested.

I absolutely loved this enemies-to-lovers story. Beckett and Summer have lived by one another for their entire lives and Summer also happens to be Beckett’s sister’s best friend.  So these have always been at each other’s throats until Beckett’s family started seeing it as sexual tension the older everyone got.

A property next to the Beckett farm has now come up for sale and both want it for their own businesses. But neither is willing to help the other out because that’s just how these two roll.  But what happens when Beckett challenges Summer and she’s loses the bet and now has to go on a date with him?!?

Lyla delivered the perfect southern romance with the right amount of sexual tension. I absolutely enjoyed the banter amongst everyone, especially the siblings. There were some conversations that started to veer towards weird, but thankfully Lyla handled that well.

Overall, this is a great start to the series and I cannot see who we read about next.
