Release Day Blitz & Review…Boys of Lake Chapel: The Complete Series by Abby Millsaps

by Courtney

Boys of Lake Chapel: The Complete Series by Abby Millsaps is now live! 

A complete enemies to lovers sports romance series from bestselling author Abby Millsaps. Includes Too Safe, Too Fast, Too Far, Too Sweet, the bonus novella Decker the Halls, and three brand new bonus scenes featuring Joey and her boys.

After years of living in survival mode, I’m finally hitting rewind on the story of my life. There’s nothing standing in the way of my bright future at Lake Chapel University.

Or so I thought.

Being ambushed by four devastatingly attractive football players wasn’t part of my plan. Ironically, they seem just as stupefied by me as I am of them.

Now Decker Crusade thinks I saw something I shouldn’t have, and he’s decided the only way to control the narrative is to control me. There’s nowhere to run, considering Decker and his boys live in a lakeside mansion that can only be accessed by boat.

Apparently, I live here now, too.

They think they can keep me on their isle indefinitely, but there’s something about me they’ve sorely underestimated: my will to finally live.

This box set includes over 1,200 pages of binge-worthy romance that concludes with an epic HEA for Joey and her boys. The Boys of Lake Chapel Box Set includes the following titles:
*Too Safe
*Too Fast
*Too Far
*Too Sweet
*Decker the Halls
*Plus three brand new bonus scenes

Sometimes being late to the party isn’t so bad. And in the case, being late to read this series paid off because I would’ve cried having to wait for each book to release.
And I got to read the novella plus a few extras with this – perfection!

This entire collection of all 3 books plus all the extra goodies is perfection!! I will write a review for each book under their respective books but let me tell you – Abby knows how to write a phenomenal series and keep each book engaging and intriguing for the reader.

I love how each book allowed the reader to see how Abby and her boys relationships develop – not only together but her with each of them individually. There are some heavy topics that in this series but Abby handles them with grace while still keeping it real and raw.

I read her other series, Boys of South Chapel before I read this and I loved seeing the connections between the two series. They are completely separate reads but it’s always more enjoyable when you see how they can intertwine.

And those bonus pieces we get in this box set – LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! As I said, I am so glad that I read this entire series in one big read.

Abby is my go-to for coming of age, college romance series. And she writes Reverse Harem/Why Choose so incredibly well.

BUY THIS BOX SET!!

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.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Bracing The Storm by J.C. Reed

by Courtney
Bracing the Storm

★★  Bracing The Storm is LIVE! ★★ 

Buy now for $2.99 (for a limited time) or read it for FREE in KU


“I don’t trust my instincts around the man behind the wheel. He’s too good-looking. Too confident. Too everything I’ve always tried to avoid in a man”

“He’s perfection. Everything about him is, from his looks to his singing and the way he carries himself.”

From New York Times Bestselling Author, J.C. Reed, comes Bracing The Storm, a small-town, enemies-lovers romance! 

The guy I just met at the mansion I inherited from a complete stranger? He’s drop-dead gorgeous. Sexy. And rude with a Capital R.

Turns out he’s not the hot gardener as I wrongly assumed.

He’s not only a famous rockstar who grew up in the house, he’s also ready to fight for it. And being both hot-headed and Irish, he’s going to fight hard and dirty.

I’m not moving out. Full Stop.

But neither is he.

So we agree on some simple rules.

We’ll play roommates for a while. What could possibly go wrong?

Living together with an Irish Hothead will surely cause a major storm.

Let’s hope bracing that storm won’t turn into a hurricane.

Author’s note – This is a romance book with a storyline that doesn’t fit into one single book. It is book one in a duet, so beware of the cliff. If you can’t handle cliffhangers, stop at the end of chapter 25 and let it be your temporary HEA.

Release Day Blitz…You, Me, and Forever by Laura Pavlov

by Courtney

You, Me and Forever by Laura Pavlov is now live! 

USA Today bestselling author Laura Pavlov delivers a spicy enemies-to-lovers romance about a billionaire developer and a small-town entrepreneur battling their desires in the Land of the Midnight Sun.

Myles St. James is tearing my world apart.

Wish I’d known that before I slept with him.

It was supposed to be a one-night stand.

Like I knew anything about those.

But I needed to blow off steam.

My ex had just gotten engaged.

My dry spell was nearing six months.

And my booming wedding planning business—the one I started with my bestie—was about to lose its favorite venue to some bulldozer-happy developer from New York.

The Seaside Inn is such a special place.

My second home.

And ever since that famous singer got married there, people are flocking to Blushing, Alaska, for their own weddings too.

Guess whose fling turns out to be the hotshot real estate guy?

But he isn’t what I expected.

And sleeping with the enemy doesn’t feel nearly as wrong as it should.

Because Myles St. James is rocking my world.

Too bad giving in to him could mean giving up my dreams.

Release Day Blitz…Built to Last by Lexi Blake

by Courtney

Built to Last by Lexi Blake is now live! 

From New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake, discover The Park Avenue Promise Series…

Three young women make a pact in high school—

to always be friends and to one day make it big in Manhattan

Built to Last

Harper Ross has always dreamed of working on one of the magnificent brownstones of Park Avenue. Now one of her closest friends has bought the house of her dreams and hired Harper to do the construction work. She wants to showcase the renovation on a television show for her brand-new production company. It’s the same grand home she and her friends promised themselves they would be able to afford one day. Working on it isn’t the same as living in it, but it’s all a part of Harper’s grand plan to grow her father’s construction business into one of the biggest in the city. The only obstacle—the designer on the project.

Reid Dorsey believes in the balance between beauty and functionality. As one of Manhattan’s new voices in design, he’s excited to get to work on a true Gilded Age property. If only the owner had selected a contractor he enjoyed working with. Oh, Harper was brilliant and her work was excellent, but she has an opinion on everything—and it’s usually the opposite of his.

Over the course of the job, these enemies start to see different sides of each other, and suddenly their fights don’t seem so bad. But when the project is threatened, they might have to choose between their jobs and the beautifully designed future they could share.

Release Day Blitz & Review…A Good Book by Jewel E Ann

by Courtney

A Good Book by Jewel E. Ann is now live! 

Gabriella Jacobson has one goal for her freshman year of college: Get Matthew Cory to fall in love with her.

Lucky for Gabby, her best friend, Ben, is attending the same college on a music scholarship. He is the perfect resource—girls love him, and he’s more experienced with relationships than her, since she’s never had a boyfriend.

When Gabby panics before her first date with Matt, she begs Ben to show her how to kiss. But Ben has a secret, one he’s been keeping from Gabby for years. He’s in love with her.

One kiss turns into two, leaving Gabby confused and scared that their friendship might not survive the unforeseen emotions. She avoids Ben until something unexpected changes his life forever, and he’s forced to drop out of school.

Gabby tries to contact him, but he won’t respond. And Matthew Cory, her sister’s ex-boyfriend and handsome law student, is ready to fill the void Ben left behind.

Now that Gabby has the man she thought she wanted, can she forget about the boy who kissed her twice?

Another phenomenal story by Jewel. I know, I know – I say that with every book she writes. But it’s so completely true. And none of her stories ever repeat anything – not one character is alike and not one storyline is ever the same.

A Good Book is a beautiful and emotional, coming of age story between two best friends; Gabby and Ben. These two have grownup together and are now going off to the same college together.

I want to say so much, but know that I will send up spoiling the story if I do. Jewel always know how to write stories that pull at your emotions and has you feeling everything her characters endure.

While this story is told in dual POV’s, it’s mostly from Gabby’s. I wanted more from Ben so I could understand his though process on things more and not seeing it threw Gabby’s viewpoint. And that is my only reason for not giving this 5 stars, but it did not hurt the overall story.

I loved this story so much. It felt very authentic and real and I know that readers will connect more to these characters and their story because of that. Another fantastic read from Jewel!

Release Day Blitz & Review…Breathtaking by Bella Matthews

by Courtney

Breathtaking by Bella Matthews is now live! 

A surprise pregnancy, marriage of convenience, billionaire romance from #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling author Bella Matthews.

Pushing Maddox Beneventi away was the hardest thing I’ve ever done . . . until the day I showed up at his doorstep clutching a positive pregnancy test.

If you’d have told me we’d be married a month later, I’d have laughed in your face. Because this tall, dark, devastatingly handsome billionaire couldn’t possibly be my happily ever after. Even if he was the only one I’d ever truly wanted.

Fairytales don’t always come true—especially for a princess.

But this isn’t a fairytale.

This is the story of how Maddox Beneventi saved me.
How he fought for me.
For us.

Maybe one day, I’ll tell our child the truth behind our so-called happy ending.

About the pain . . . the devastation and destruction that was left in our wake.

How hard we fought. First each other, then everyone else.

One day, I’ll share that the price we paid was the pain left etched on our souls.

But that day?

That day isn’t today.

Breathtaking is the sixth and final book in the Red Lips and White Lies series and Bella ends is on the best high note!!

I devoured this book as quickly as I could but also forced myself to slow down because I wanted to savor this story.

Lennon and Maddox’s story is one for the books. I will not give one iota as to what happens – just know that Bella takes us on hell of an emotional and angsty journey.

I never like saying, “this book has so much going on” because I don’t want to turn off readers thinking it’s too much, BUT alot does go on, but it’s written so well and everything just blends and unfolds beautifully that it’s not overwhelming.

Breathtaking is a an absolute MUST READ!!!

Release Day Blitz & Review…Tourist Trap by Morgan Elizabeth

by Courtney

Tourist Trap by Morgan Elizabeth is now live! 

Bestselling author Morgan Elizabeth delivers Tourist Trap, a small town, age gap, grumpy sunshine, summer romance based in Seaside Point, a shore town in New Jersey.

Claire:

A summer in a tourist trap is exactly what I need. A single summer of fun before I finally buckle down and decide on what I want to do with the rest of my life. So when my best friend suggested I spend the summer as a lifeguard in Seaside Point I jumped at the opportunity.

I was ready for a summer of uncomplicated fun, so imagine my surprise when my ex’s older brother owns the house I want to rent a room in. Not only is Miles the guy I used to have the biggest crush on, he refuses to give me the time of day.

Miles:

I have enough on my plate trying to save up what I need to buy my brother out of the house we inherited by the end of the summer. I definitely don’t need the distraction of my brother’s gorgeous ex prancing around my house. But for some reason I still can’t understand, I agreed to let her rent a room and now she’s prancing around in her little bathing suits, flirting with me endlessly, and making me a summer bucket list because she thinks I can’t have fun.

I don’t mess with tourists, and I surely don’t mess with my brother’s exes, but just like the moon and its effect on tides, I can’t escape her pull on me. Will I be able to survive this summer with her, or will I get distracted and lose it all?

This a phenomenal summer romance read!!

If you read the blurb, then you know what you are getting when you jump into this book. I won’t rehash that or possibly give away any parts that were fun uncovering while I read.

I will tell you that this book moves at the perfect and you will love these characters. Claire is an open book and doesn’t hold back on how she feels. Miles is a true gentleman and I have so much respect for this man. What I loved most about them both – they are relatable; they are normal people like us.

I loved all the interactions between these two and I literally smiled the entire time reading this book. It’s an absolutely amazing read and as I said, perfect for the summer.

Definitely buy this one!!

Meet Morgan Elizabeth


Morgan is a born and raised Jersey girl, living there with her two boys, toddler daughter, and mechanic husband. She’s addicted to iced espresso, barbecue chips, and Starburst jellybeans. She usually has headphones on, listening to some spicy audiobook or Taylor Swift. There is rarely an in between.
​
Writing has been her calling for as long as she can remember. There’s a framed ‘page one’ of a book she wrote at seven hanging in her childhood home to prove the point. Her entire life she’s crafted stories in her mind, begging to be released but it wasn’t until recently she finally gave them the reins.

I’m so grateful you’ve agreed to take this journey with me.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Unhinged by Jane Henry

by Courtney

Unhinged by Jane Henry is now live! 

From USA Today Bestselling Author Jane Henry comes a dark Bratva stalker romance.

Anissa Laurent is a ghost—a master of deception, a woman who has slipped through the cracks of the underworld. Untraceable. Untouchable. Unclaimed. Until me.

I made it my life’s mission to find her, drag her back where she belongs, and punish her for her betrayal.

I traced every false identity until I found her, but I took my time. I studied the way she breathes, the way she moves, what she loves, and what she hates. 

She thought she could run. She thought she could hide. She thought she could get away with betraying my family. 

But I’m not a man who lets go of what’s mine.

She was meant to be broken, to be owned, meant to carry my mark in the most primal way possible. I won’t just take her body—she’ll have my baby, too.


But I didn’t expect her to be as broken as I am. I didn’t expect her to fight like she has nothing left to lose. And now, I don’t just want to cage her—I want to own her.


She’ll curse me. She’ll hate me. She’ll claw and bite and scream my name in fury and in pleasure. But in the end, it doesn’t matter. Because there is no escape from her past… and definitely not from me.

What to expect in Unhinged:

Stalking

Kidnapping

BDSM

Breeding kink

Caging 

A snarky AF heroine and OTT alpha hero

Found family and a guaranteed HEA

Amazon: https://bit.ly/3QXV1A0

Goodreads: https://bit.ly/449j0Ur

Jane Henry has quickly become one of my favorite mafia/Bravata authors.

Matvei and Anissa are exactly what this title says, Unhinged. They both excel at their jobs and have some very unusual tastes.

Matvei has been looking for Anissa ever since she shamed his family. Anissa has been hiding out under the protection of the Irish mob, but once a deal is settled between the Russians and the Irish, Anissa is free game – she just doesn’t it.

I loved how everything played out and how these two played the ultimate game of cat and mouse. But it’s once these two find some common ground, secrets and lies unfold and they find themselves fighting more than just each other.

Jane wrote this story flawlessly. There is zero pause in the intensity, and the spicy scenes are perfection. Jane does not hold back on anything and it just make this story all the more intense.

Matvei and Anissa are one of my favorite couples in this series and that is saying something because I have thoroughly enjoyed every book in this series so far. I am overly excited for the next book.

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.

That’s the first thought in songwriter Dylan McCoy’s head when she sees firefighter Grady Malone.

Her second? A rebound has never looked so good.

But she’s been burned by a number of people lately.

A famous, ex-boyfriend she still has to work with. A binding contract. A demanding agent. She needs a break from them all. A place to go to nurse her wounds.

When she finds herself in the small town of Sunnyville, she refuses to let her new firefighter roommate burn her too. Unless…. it’s with their sizzling chemistry.

Grady is sexy. Charismatic. Unapologetic. And a man who carries his own wounds—the ones fire scarred on his back, the survivor’s guilt on his soul, and the fear in his heart.

When an unexpected visitor puts their roommate status to the test, will their

undeniable attraction burn out, or will they both take a chance and play with the fire burning between them …forever?

So when I started reading this book, it felt very familiar to me. It wasn’t until about 20% in that it hit me square in the face. I read this book when Kristi published this back in 2018 under a different title.

Let me tell you, if a story that is over 8 years old, comes raging back to my memory as if I just read it, you know it’s a phenomenal story. I loved this story so much, I continued reading it because I love these characters and their story.

Dylan is an upcoming song writer that is now force to work with her ex due to their contract obligations. But she knows she can write anywhere, so she asks for a favor from her brother and finds herself rooming with one of his friends.

Grady is a firefighter and had no problems with Dylan crashing at his place. He’s working through his own demons and doesn’t mind having someone around who has no idea what he’s been through.

However, these two prove to be more than the distraction they expected from one another. As Grady works through finding his love for life again, he helps Dylan move past her ex and showing her she’s more than she sees in herself.

Kristy writes amazing characters that have so much depth, it’s impossible to not feel these words come alive. The story moves at the perfect pace and it’s the perfect amount of angst.

A highly recommended read and I am so grateful I had the opportunity re-read this one.

BLURB

Weddings. I spend every working minute talking and writing about them, when just the thought of one makes me want to scream. After my fiancé abandoned me at the altar last year, my dream job at Bride magazine has turned into a reoccurring nightmare.

To add insult to injury, the bridezilla at my latest assignment, somehow roped me into filling in for a missing bridesmaid. Of course, I had to get paired with the most gorgeous groomsman. Wilder Hayes is perfect—except when he opens his mouth and we end up bickering all evening. That is, until the coat closet incident.
At least I’ll never have to see him again. Or so I think… Until I walk into work on Monday and find out Wilder isn’t just a jerk, he’s also my boss’s son. And I’ll be spending the rest of the season working with him at every single wedding I cover this year.

Can the jilted bride and the man who is afraid of love find a way to heal each other?
