Release Day Blitz & Review…Then Hate Me by Blake Hensley

Then Hate Me by Alta Hensley & Zoe Blake, writing as Blake Hensley, is now live! 

He dared to steal my bride, so it’s only fair I respond by kidnapping his innocent sister.

Only a monster with no morals would kidnap a woman from her brother’s wedding…

Which was precisely what I’ve become, a monster bent on revenge.

After all, as the billionaire Marksen DuBois, renowned for being a jilted groom, my reputation and business were in tatters.

There was nothing more dangerous than a man possessing power, boundless resources, and a vendetta.

I would torment him with increasingly degrading photos of his precious sister as I held her captive and under my complete control.

She’d have no option but to yield to my every command if she wished to shield herself and her family from further disgrace.

She was just a captured pawn to be dominated, exploited, and discarded.

Yet the more ensnared we become in my twisted game of revenge, the more my suspicions grow.

As she fiercely counters my every move, I begin to question whether I’m the true pawn… ensnared by my queen.

New York’s elite play a dangerous game of shadows, hiding scandalous truths and illicit desires behind their opulent masks. Step into this intoxicating world of dark romance, masterfully crafted by USAT Bestselling authors, Zoe Blake and Alta Hensley, now co-writing as the enigmatic Blake Hensley.

Then Hate Me is the second book in this series. And while it is said that it can be read as a standalone, I would disagree with that to a point. I would definitely consider this to an interconnected standalone.

Then Hate Me is Marksen and Olivia’s story. However, you need to understand the dynamics between all the parties involved and you get all that in book one, The More I Hate. I was not lost per se, but it took me a bit to get fully vested in this story and feel like I understood how everyone was intertwined.

I found the plot intriguing and the pacing of the book was spot on. It was entertaining to see both Marksen and Olivia fight within themselves on feelings they were not suppose to be feeling towards one another. It may their passion even hotter.

I do wish that Olivia would have made Marksen gravel more in the end. She’s a strong heroine and throughout the story, definitely pushed back on him and I loved those parts. So I was hoping to see more of that in the end from her.

Overall, it’s a great second book in this series. I would definitely read the first book to get a much better understanding of the dynamics and to truly enjoy this one as a whole. I am definitely looking forward to book three – Harrison’s story.

Release Date: March 21 

Blurb:

I’ve never had a problem convincing a man to take me home for a night of fun.

Until I meet Alexander Krum.

He leaves me wanting more at the end of every encounter. Despite our insane attraction to one another, we couldn’t be more opposite.

He wants to take me on a date.

I want to head straight to his bedroom.

He believes in romance.

I know men in romance books don’t really exist.

He always wants to help.

I can take care of myself.

But then he comes to me with a proposition: A marriage arrangement to save his family’s villa. His substantial offer has me overlooking our differences and saying “I do.”

There is only one problem…he’s been hiding a secret from the media for the last four years. Pretending to be a wife is one thing, but this? I’m the last person he should want in this role.

Yet I can’t bring myself to walk away. The incentive is too great, and when it’s over, I will have my dream.

And it will be over. I’m not destined for happily ever after’s—no matter how real this charade is starting to feel.

This is my first read by Kristen but definitely won’t be my last.

Puck Pact is a full standalone featuring Aarya and Alexander.

Araya is a strongly independent and fierce woman who relies on no-one. She trusts no-one and lives life to the fullest and her number one love is her art goals.

Alexander is the captain of his hockey team but keeps alot close to his chest. He has his own secrets and while he loves fiercely, he doesn’t let many people in.

I absolutely loved watching these two knock down one another’s walls. The natural progression of their story was perfect and the pacing of this book was phenomenal. I loved watching each of them grow in different ways and realize things about themselves.

Kristen wrote an emotional and spicy sports romance. Alexander is every woman’s fictional dream man and Aarya is every woman’s best friend. I absolutely loved these two.

This is a definite must read!

PIERRE (“GAGS”)

My life is complicated.

Hell, I’m complicated.

I don’t know a life beyond how I’m perceived. After a devastating divorce, it looked like I never would.

Can a hockey fight change your life?

I may not understand my attraction to Sven Holmer, but I can tell you my obsession with kissing him started in the middle of a fight. When we met again, the conversation was easy, the banter effortless. Once stolen glances gave way to secret touches, I was more confused than ever. How the hell am I supposed to handle it when everything I’ve always believed about myself no longer fits?

Things are great… until they aren’t.

Our connection deepens with every minute we spend together, but like me, Sven is no stranger to betrayal and heartache. Between my stubbornness, his reservations, and the start of a new season, how can we survive months apart?

When tragedy strikes, all bets are off. I just hope it’s not too late.

Broken Ice, Mended Hearts features two thirty-something hockey players hardened by heartbreak. This compelling, angsty book includes a bisexual awakening, hurt/comfort, found family, first times, high heat, and a hard-earned HEA.

Release Day Blitz & Review…The Veiled Kingdom by Holly Renee

The Veiled Kingdom by Holly Renee is now live! 

From USA Today Bestselling Author Holly Renee, author of the Stars and Shadows series, comes a scorching new fantasy romance that ignites the pages with relentless danger, forbidden passion, and the intoxicating allure of enemies to lovers.

Fleeing my father’s cruelty, the wicked king who robbed me of a future, I face death in the streets, caught between a rebellion and a tyrant’s reign.

Captured by those sworn to kill me, the rebels remain blind to my true identity-the missing daughter of the despised king. Faced with an impossible choice, I stand before them: join the rebels or face their blades.

Yet, Dacre, the son of the ruthless rebellion commander, becomes torn between suspicion and a desire that mirrors my own. He allows no one to touch me, tries to protect me, yet threatens me at every turn.

As secrets are weaved beyond our hidden realm, a fierce battle unfolds within me. As I get closer to the rebels, and their cause, my loyalty to my kingdom clashes with my undeniable devotion to Dacre and the burning connection between us.

In a world where love and hate are two edges of the same blade, I find myself caught in a delicate dance between forbidden desire and my looming destiny.

The Veiled Kingdom is a nice start to a new series, The Veiled Kingdom.

This is a fantasy romance that starts off a bit slow for us fantasy readers but still has the right touch to keep you intrigued and turning the pages. There was just something in this book that kept me glued to its pages and wanting to know what would happen.

I enjoyed the banter and relationship building between each of the characters. The story is told from both Nyra and Dacre’s POVs and that truly helps add another layer to this story. It’s very well written and the flow is perfect for what needs to happen and build up the plot intensity.

My biggest issue and the only reason I did not rate this book 5 stars was the lack of world building. A huge part of a fantasy romance is the world building and letting readers visualize this fantastic world and all the ins and outs of the people who inhabit it and their abilities. While there are some descriptions, there is alot missing that would give this book that perfect additional layer.

Overall, I really did enjoy this book and cannot wait to see what happens next with Nyra, Dacre and the impasse that they are currently at.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Walk of Shame by Avery Flynn

Walk of Shame by Avery Flynn is now live! 

One night. No strings. And a really good puck.

Five years ago, Astrid O’Malley experienced the ultimate in public humiliation. Being dumped at the altar by her childhood sweetheart was horrifying enough. That fact that he was a professional hockey goalie and her dad was his coach? It was all anyone in sports could talk about.

Eff hockey. Eff goalies.

These days, Astrid lives a life (mostly) free of hockey and free to pursue whoever she wants with exactly zero shame in her game. Like tonight’s hook-up. This guy’s nailed the lumberjack aesthetic perfectly. Especially when he has the stamina and creativity to back it up.

Because the rule is: it’s one night only. Which is gonna be a problem because she’s just discovered he lives in the apartment upstairs.

And he’s joined her dad’s team. As the goalie coach. To train her ex.

Now Astrid is in some kind of hockey hell–filled with her ex, her family, and the best sex of her life. And somehow she’s been roped back onto the team.

Puck my life.

Walk of Shame was right down the middle ok for me.

The blurb intrigued me and the beginning of the story kept me hooked. However, at one point, things just sort of went flat for me. And the ending felt rushed and unrealistic. And the epilogue – that was quite the shocking revelation.

I enjoyed how Astrid and Cal navigated their relationship. I did want to see more of an emotional attachment between them and not just the physical one. But let me tell you, those spicy scenes were done well.

Overall, it was an ok read for me.

https://amzn.to/3QBxc0j

Blurb

I crashed and burned before the most important interview of my life…

Yes, literally.

I rammed my crappy Honda into the back of a custom black McLaren, and the sexy bastard who owned it was far from amused.

Especially when I abandoned him at the fiery scene with an “I.O.U.,” twenty dollars, and a pack of glow-in-the-dark condoms as payment. (I’m too broke to afford car insurance.)

I managed to make it to my interview with a few seconds to spare, but the partner I was expecting to meet wasn’t there.

Instead, it was the unforgettable guy I’d just crashed into: Mr. Damien Carter. And his first question–‘Do you know that running away from the scene of an accident is a crime?’–convinced me that I was not getting this job.

Alas, Hamilton & Associates called me back, and I slowly realized that there are far more coincidences between me and my new boss.

Even though this grumpy bastard only utters demands and threats to me…

His firm is a place straight out of The Godfather, nothing like “the good guys on the right side of the law” on the promotional billboards. Its walls hold secrets, the clients are guilty as charged, and Damien Carter is everything wrong with the legal system.

Well, I thought that until we began a hate-love affair like no other, and I discovered his biggest secret of all…

**This is a standalone contemporary romance and Book 1 in The Firm Series**

The Firm Series

In the criminal justice system, sexually charged stories are considered exceptionally addictive. In New York City, the unforgettable characters who dominate these pages are filthy lawyers, sinful witnesses, and dirty judges.

These are their stories.

*inspired by the New York Times bestselling serial, Reasonable Doubt*

I’m not sure how to rate this one..🫤 so it’s right down the middle for me.

Ok. Let me preface this by saying I usually enjoy Whitney’s stories and her characters.
With this one, I enjoyed the FMC much more than the MMC.

The plot line itself is intriguing, and I liked the unknown factors and twists thrown in. However, certain parts could’ve been fleshed out better, and a few things were left unknown.

Readers will definitely see the physical attraction between these two, but it lacked the chemistry beyond that.

Damien is an interesting MMC. He’s an alpha-asshole with a capital A, and his arrogance knows no bounds. But he’s also found himself unable to resist Elizabeth, and he can’t reconcile with himself why.

Elizabeth is a fierce FMC. I love that she takes zero crap from Damien. She holds her own & delivers his wrath back at him. But she’s hiding secrets just like Damien, and those secrets will be their downfall.

Again, there are parts I thoroughly enjoyed with this book. And others that I wanted to see more fleshed out to give the story more depth and a connection not only between the characters but for readers to connect to.

Overall, right down the middle for me.

Release Day Blitz & Review…The Love You Fight For by Brit Benson

THE LOVE YOU FIGHT FOR

Brit Benson

Release Date: March 15

Blurb:

The mask she wears for the world is flawless.
But I want the mess that she hides underneath.

Samantha Harper is untouchable.

She’s the closest thing we have to royalty in my small town.
Daughter of a senator.
Richer than sin.
Classy, elegant, and
Ice cold.

She’s my polar opposite.
And unfortunately,
She’s exactly my type.

Too bad royalty doesn’t fraternize with peasants.

Until one night,
Samantha Harper finds herself at my mercy,
and the temptation to dirty up her flawless facade is too great.

When her perfect mask slips,
It’s not an ice princess I find beneath,
But a warrior in war-torn armor.
A snake in queen’s clothing.

All it takes is one night, and I’m determined.
She will never have to fight another battle alone.

***

The Love You Fight For is the third book in the Next Life world.
It has a guaranteed HEA.
While The Love You Fight For can be read as a standalone, it is recommended that you first read the Next Life duet to fully appreciate the story.

I did not read the first two books in this series and I did not once feel lost or misunderstand the bonds between every one of these characters. I was fully engrossed and enamored by these characters and knowing that if I read the first two books would make me fully appreciate the story – I just can’t comprehend that because I absolutely more than fully appreciated this story. But I did buy the first two books just so I could read about Macon and Lennon’s story.

“I want a true north kind of love.”

The Love You Fight For was everything I had not realized I needed right now. From Sam’s fierce and resolute determination to fight her own battles to Chris’s unwavering protectiveness and loyalty to Sam – my heart and soul were right there with these two through the entire book.

“Let me be your peace.”

Brit truly knows how to well developed characters with many facets to them all the while delivering a plot that keeps readers right at the edge the whole time. Brit does a phenomenal job of intertwining the romance with the suspense of this story and keeping things engaging.

“What better way to take down dangerous men than with the very monster they created.”

I cannot express how much I loved this book and how it just brought out every emotion in me and just fully immersed me in the story and these characters’ lives. Definitely a top 2024 read for me.

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.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Kings of Jupiter by Nacole Stayton

KINGS OF JUPITER

Nacole Stayton

Release Date: March 14

Blurb:

In an industry dominated by men, Sophia Rose, an elite tattooist, earned her reputation by owning Rose & Lace Ink Emporium, an all-female staffed studio.

Her golden rule was simple. Never date a client. That no-strings-attached-attitude kept her evenings busy, and her heart stagnant.

That is until the zaniest night of tattooing in her career befell…

When propositioned with an offer that any entrepreneur would be foolish to decline, Sophia finds herself blinded by the stardom and mayhem that the Kings of Jupiter encompass.

With Sophia as their muse, lust, and lyrics blur like the lines of the pavement beneath the tour bus.

For Mazen Wilde, Oliver Collins and Cannon Rhodes, creating music was as easy as taking a breath.

But all great songs do come to an end…

Intended for fans of Tate James, Lily Gold and Emily Rath. Kings of Jupiter is a duet that WILL end on an enthralling cliffhanger. This is a rock star reverse harem, meaning our heroine has three band boyfriends. Swords will cross…

Release Day Blitz…The American by Jodi Ellen Malpas

The American by Jodi Ellen Malpas is now live! 

Temptation has never been so dangerous.

A domineering force in Miami’s volatile criminal underworld, Brad Black is respected. Feared. His deadly accurate trigger finger and indestructible persona has earned him his intimidating reputation and, up until six months ago, hookers, drugs, and protecting the Black empire was the sum of his life’s purpose.

Until he saved her.

Wild, brave, and beautiful, Pearl Kennedy is Brad’s kryptonite. A distraction. A young distraction. But with enemies joining forces, coming at them with more force and less mercy than ever before, she’s also a deadly distraction. Focusing on the end game, finding and killing their enemies, has to remain his priority.

But Brad completely underestimates the power of his connection with Pearl.

And he can’t shake the niggling feeling that there’s more to her than meets the eye.

Pearl Kennedy was saved from the clutches of human traffickers by one of the world’s most notorious criminals—Brad Black. Since being taken back to his family’s mansion in Miami, she’s felt safe and protected, despite Brad’s cold, brusque, and confusing treatment. He should disgust her—he’s flaunted his hedonistic tastes unapologetically. But no matter how hard Pearl tries to fight it, she’s drawn to the lethal, handsome killer.

Yet she knows she’s living on borrowed time, and to succumb to the attraction would be to expose herself and her secrets.

And then it will be just a matter of who will kill her first.

The monsters from her past.

Or Brad Black.

Keep reading for a look inside Blue Moon!

Instead, the person who opens it is none other than the stranger from earlier.
He is surprisingly not black and blue, not beaten to bits. In fact, he looks healthy and haughty. His dark eyes twinkle like he has a secret with me. “Luna,” he says as if we’re old friends, which is not a good thing. It’s just another reason for my father to hate me later. Because whatever happens between this man and I, whether it’s sexual or not, dangerous or not, there’s no way I’m leaving Blue Moon Circus. “Come on in.”
I step cautiously into the room.
I’ve stepped foot into this trailer thousands of times, maybe millions of times, I don’t even know. This was my family home, my childhood home, if the word home could be applied to such a place of terror. But the scene is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.
Instead of my father’s poker game or a few of the female performers passed out on his lumpy couch for him to use whenever he wants, there are two men I don’t recognize with guns. Pointing them at my father and a couple of his buddies who usually play poker with him.
Chips are scattered all around the room.
The card table is upended. Something bad happened here though you couldn’t tell by looking at Emerson, he smiles. “We had a slight disagreement at the end of our card game. However, the results stand. I won, which means that you come with me.”
