Genre: Contemporary Romance Standalone

Synopsis

It was the stuff rom-coms are made of—meet a girl in an airport bar.

Buy her a drink.

Get her number.

Then I smudged it. Literally.

A year later, I’m still kicking myself for letting her get away. But I have bigger things to worry about. Like running my family’s Fortune 500 company.

Until she shows up in my small town.

As my newest employee.

The spark is back in an instant.

And our plan to just be friends? Forget about it.

Especially once I’ve tasted her lips.

The pull between us is just as strong as it was a year ago. But thanks to the company’s no-fraternization policy, sneaking around only makes things hotter between us.

Margeaux is as focused and driven as I am, with goals and plans of her own.

I refuse to stand in the way.

But now all of that is on the line.

Turns out, our relationship isn’t as secret as we think.

Forcing us to choose—our hearts or our careers.

Release Day Blitz…Finding Hayes by Laura Pavlov

Finding Hayes by Laura Pavlov is now live! 

A Small Town, Marriage of Convenience, Forced Proximity, Standalone Romance from USA Today and Amazon Bestselling Author, Laura Pavlov.

Sometimes relationships come along that define you.

Someone who brings out sides of you that no one else sees.

The reason that you try to be the best version of yourself.

Savannah Abbott was my North Star growing up.

She was my best friend, my neighbor, and the person who knew me best.

But without warning, she was gone in the blink of an eye.

My life began unraveling the day she left Magnolia Falls.

Because apparently, when you lose the best thing in your life, it’s all downhill from there.

But I’m a survivor— and I forced myself to move on.

My guard went up, and my ability to trust people disappeared.

Until the day Savannah came back to town—more than a decade later.

And now she’s acting like I’m the enemy.

She wants nothing to do with me, even all these years later.

Until she needs a favor.

A temporary husband.

I may not be the marrying type, but for Savannah, I’m willing to bend the rules.

None of this is real, and she reminds me of that every day while we’re playing house.

I may fight fires for a living, but my new wife is a flame that I don’t want to extinguish.

She’s the fire that’s been missing all along.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Love Harder by Monica James

 
 
Title: Love Harder
A Memoir
Author: Monica James
Genre: Creative Non-Fiction
Release Date: October 23, 2024
 
 
BLURB
        LOVE.
O
V
E
 
Once upon a time, I looked at love through rose-tinted glasses because love is meant to conquer all, right?
 
However, was I just a hopeless romantic at heart, chasing the proverbial happily ever after?
 
Being a romance author, one may think I know what I’m doing when it comes to love. But I hate to spoil the ending for you, dear reader; love and me, we aren’t friends. And we haven’t been for quite some time.
 
That’s not because I don’t believe in love.
 
On the contrary.
 
And that’s the reason we are here…again.
 
We all have that one person.
 
For me, he caught me unaware, and that’s when life usually screams KEEP UP!
 
And most times, we can’t.
 
If you’ve read Love Hard, then you know how love and I were no longer on speaking terms. But I wrote something which was a sign from the heavens. Or perhaps, hell…
 
I’ve learned that good men are like unicorns. Everyone talks about them, but no one actually sees them.
 
How I’m eating my words because I’ve found my unicorn. But does that mean I’ve finally learned my lessons in love? Is your beloved narrator about to get her HEA after all?
 
Buckle up, bestie, things are about to get wild.
 
Love hits you when you least expect it…and we are never ready for the fall.

PLAYLIST
 
 
 

 

First off, read Love Hard first before even thinking about reading this one.

If you love Love Hard, you will absolutely devour Love Harder.

These books are nothing like Monica’s other works because they are both non-fiction memoirs. And what I mean by that is these stories are based on her journey through the world of dating and falling in love.

Love Harder is a diary of what happens to the FMC when Love Hard ended. It’s her chaotic walk through online dating, the interesting men she meets and all their mannerisms. Some you will like, some you will want to knee in the nuts for causing harm to our FMC.

I was completely immersed in this story and had to know how each interaction went and all the in-betweens. This story occurs over many months. Does our FMC get her HEA? You’ll have to read to find out.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Grave Matter by Karina Halle

Grave Matter By Karina Halle

Release date: 10.23.24

Tropes: Teacher x Student, he falls first, forced proximity, Doctor x Patient, Women in STEM, degradation kink, sci-fi vibes, morally grey characters, forbidden spice, stalker, dark cottage core, stalker, obsessed hero 

Blurb:

Horror Romance meets science fiction in this dark and delicious gothic psychological thriller by NYT bestseller Karina Halle, perfect for fans of Gothikana, Ninth House, and Mexican Gothic.

Aspiring mycologist Sydney Denik is getting a second chance. When a dream opportunity presents itself with a prestigious foundation doing promising Alzheimer’s research, Sydney leaves the shambles of her old life to join a dozen other grad students at an isolated lodge hidden away in a remote, fog-shrouded inlet on Vancouver Island.

But the Madrona Foundation harbors more than brilliant minds. Everyone around her is hiding a terrible secret—including the resident psychologist she’s falling in love with. A student disappears, and no one but Sydney seems to care. Ghosts walk the halls. Snow falls in the middle of summer. Dead animals move like the living. The more Sydney uncovers about the foundation, the more she begins to question her own sanity. And if Sydney isn’t going mad, then the horrors in the surrounding forest are real, and the Madrona Foundation may be the biggest monster of all.

NOTE: This will be a live release on Amazon for paperback, ebook and hardcover on October 23rd 2024. The paperback and ebook cover is different from the case-laminate and dustjacket hardcovers. This is a standalone novel. Check content warnings inside the book or author’s IG closer to publication.

Content warnings: Grave Matter contains scenes of gore, body horror, animal body horror, off-page animal death, mentions of suicide, off-page suicide, graphic language and graphic scenes of a sexual nature, which include degradation and praise kink, breath play, bondage with ropes and belts, and various other mild-BDSM elements. Your mental health is important to me, and this book contains all sorts of fuckery, so please proceed with caution.

I am going to need a minute or two or a bazillion to gather my thoughts on this one.

Karina has outdone herself once again with an amazing story.

I don’t know where to start, what to say without babbling too much, or how to even put my rambling thoughts into words that can perfectly express this book.

If you love dark, gothic stories, add in some science fiction with romantic vibes thrown in – this book is for you. There are so many twists and turns that I did not see coming. I lost sleep because of this book.

Just go read this one!

Release Day Blitz & Review…Text Appeal by Kylie Scott

Text Appeal by Kylie Scott is now live!

Love enters the chat in this hilarious, heartfelt rom com by New York Times bestselling and Audie award-winning author Kylie Scott.


Romance author Riley Cooper always dreamed of living by the water. But within a day of landing in the charming seaside town of Port Stewart to work on her latest book, she’s getting calls and texts for some dude on her new number. Weird ones. Sad ones. Sexy ones. Ones that make her want to meet him. For curiosity’s sake…if nothing else.

After years of being on-again, off-again with his high school sweetheart, all Connor wants is to move on with his life. If only everyone in Port Stewart would let him. What he needs is to be seen with someone else. So when fate puts him in the path of the new girl in town who got his old number, faking it together seems like the perfect solution.

Spending time with the gorgeous former prom king might be great research for Riley’s romance writing…if only she can keep her feelings in check. But the more she gets to know him, the harder she’s falling. Can their serendipitous meeting turn into something real and true?

Text Appeal is a really cute fake dating story.

The blurb is truly all you need to know before reading this one. Or hell, jump right into after reading this review with the knowledge that this is a funny fake dating story.

This story is only told from Riley’s POV, which did hurt the book a bit for me as I wanted to get a better understanding Connor and all his thoughts.

Kylie explains the ins and outs of this small town, Connor’s family and how Riley plays into everything so that does help readers get an idea of why things happen.

Overall, it’s a really entertaining story with great chemistry between characters that comes naturally.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Shattered Dreams by Natasha Madison


Charlie
It was supposed to be a regular day out.
Three couples celebrating the last days of summer.
When tragedy struck.
I thought I was going to marry her.
Instead, I was burying her.
I blamed the world for my pain.
I buried it all.
I became a man I didn’t even recognize.


Autumn
In a blink of an eye, everything changed.
My best friend was gone, and I was responsible for it.
I may not have been driving the truck, but I didn’t stop it.
Escaping the town was the only thing I could do to survive the guilt.
I thought I was strong enough to go back.
I was wrong.
One look from him and I knew I wasn’t welcome.
But this is my home, and I wanted to come back.
One night turned into more. But at the end of the day, I know he’ll never love me.
Besides, we all have shattered dreams.

Nothing like starting a new series off with a book that will tear your heart apart and have you feeling everything.

Charlie and Autumn both suffered a loss years ago that drastically changed both their lives.

Autumn moved away and has only returned now because of her father’s health. She’ll do everything she can to avoid Charlie but we all know fate is fickle one.

My heart broke for Autumn – I literally wanted to reach through my kindle and hug this woman. But watching her grow and finally finding her strength again was so amazing.

Charlie – I wanted to continue hating this man til the end. But seeing him realize so many things, he redeemed himself in many ways.

Natasha wrote this story beautifully and truly does not leave readers disappointed at all.

Release Day Blitz…Mr. Heartbreaker by Piper Rayne


Mr. Heartbreaker by Piper Rayne is now live!

I made a deal with my brother a long time ago to never date his teammates.

Technically, Rowan Landry, the hot as hell center for the Chicago Falcons, is no longer my brother’s teammate. Or his best friend. Their college days are long behind them, and they barely talk now.

Also, I’m not dating him—we’re just sleeping together. There’s a difference.

Except there’s not a lot of sleeping going on, and neither one of us wants to stop what we’re doing.

It’s all fun and games until my brother is traded to the Falcons, because Rowan doesn’t know I’m the new goalie’s little sister. Oops.

Release Day Blitz…Secret Love by Willow Aster


Secret Love by Willow Aster is now live!

Who meets their soulmate shopping for bagels in a supermarket bakery aisle?

Before I moved to the small town of Silver Hills, I would have told you no one.

But the second I meet Henley Ward, I’m swept away.

He is everything I look for in a man: tall, strong and so handsome.

Our instant attraction, spirited banter, and heated glances leave a lasting impression…

Until I see him again.

Like a raging tornado, he storms into the school ready to take on the teacher who has crushed his daughter’s spirit.

The dedication this man has to his three daughters could be the sexiest thing I have ever seen.

Before we know it, we are stealing kisses in his kitchen and secretly getting together any chance we can.

I know I should stay away from Henley so I don’t lose my job, and his focus is on raising the girls and being the best wide receiver in football, but our attraction is intense and the draw between us is too tempting to resist.

I can only hope our secret love will survive when our truth is revealed.

Secret Love is book two in the Single Dad Playbook series. Each book can be read as a standalone.

Release Day Blitz…Brutal Bargain by Laurelin Paige


Brutal Bargain by Laurelin Paige is now live!


She needs a husband. He won’t let anyone else have her.

Ax Morgan has played many roles in my life: My brother’s best friend. The most notorious member of the Sebastian News Corp executive team. My enemy with benefits.

But my husband?

No thanks.

Our after hours scenes are simply a convenient way for me to blow off steam while I plot my exit from my toxic family’s company.

But when I need a groom so I can claim my inheritance, he presents me with a choice that’s more like blackmail—marry him, or he’ll sabotage me. So between the devil and the deep blue sea, I let the devil put a ring on it.

Turns out this is the role he plays best of all.

The worst part of pretending with Ax is how real it’s starting to feel.

Now my future is in his hands. And if he finds out what I’m planning, he’ll be the one with the impossible choice. Who loses everything—his best friend or his fake wife?

Release Day Blitz & Review…The Breaking Point by Fallon Greer

The Breaking Point by Fallon Greer is now live!

Grace Kensington has been my secret crush since we were kids.
Though she is definitely all grown up now.
Long blonde hair, big blue eyes, and curves that could bring even the toughest hockey player to his knees. She’s the full package, too–smart, funny, and as real as they come.
One might go as far as to say perfect. Except for one tiny detail: Grace is my coach’s daughter. 
And she just walked back into my life. Apparently she’s doing an internship for the team.
The last thing I should do is get close to her again. 
So the plan is to keep my distance.
But that plan flies out the window the very first time we run into each other…and I’m naked in the locker room.

Amazon US: https://bit.ly/3yUYxp6       

Goodreads: https://bit.ly/4dknk57

The Breaking Point is the second book in Fallon’s Bad Boys Club series. These books can easily be read as standalones and as they all feature a couple in each one. The characters overlap but just to show how they all interact with one another and add another layer to the story.

This story features Grace and Brady. Brady was a foster child who lived with Grace’s family when he was older and was in and out of the system. She harbored a crush on him and he knew how she felt but never allowed anything to go past that even though he too felt something more for her.

Now they are in their older years, she’s interning for the hockey team her dad coaches and Brady plays for that same team. However, neither have been in contact with one another for years and he was not aware that she was back.

I do enjoy how this story plays out. It shows some growth on both their parts, both individually and together. However, I did want to see Grace grow more outside of Brady. She definitely showed a more confident side, but I wanted to see her step outside hockey and focus on herself and wanted made her happy. The author showed a bit of that, but I wanted to see that developed more.

Overall, this is a great addition to this series of what I like to call spicy sports romance.

Meet Fallon Greer
