Release Day Blitz & Review…The Problem With Dating by Brittainy Cherry

The Problem with Dating by Brittainy Cherry is now live!

If I had to choose a person to hate, Alex Ramírez would’ve been first on the list…

Welcome to Honey Creek, Illinois, where life was as sweet as the town’s name suggested. That was, until Mr. Fine Dining himself, Alex Ramírez, rolled into town with a permanent scowl and decided to park his snooty five-star restaurant across from my cozy dog daycare. He was tall, dark, and about as warm as a frozen entrée.

After one too many unpleasant interactions, I was determined to stay out of his way and to keep him out of mine.

But fate had a quirky sense of humor. When Alex inherited his great-aunt’s cranky canine, he had no choice but to come to me, the local dog whisperer, for help. As for me? I needed a fake boyfriend to ward off my ex-husband, who was determined to win me back.

So, we struck a deal: I’d turn his dog into the town’s best-behaved pet, and in return, he’d be my arm candy for a few family events and social gatherings. Simple, uncomplicated, and absolutely not romantic—at least, that was what we told ourselves.

As we played house, I couldn’t help but notice that underneath Alex’s prickly shell was a dash of charm that wasn’t listed in the ingredients. Our pretend dates started to feel a little too real. And our feigned kisses? They were getting laughably close to crossing the line. Suddenly our interactions felt less like a food fight and more like foreplay.

With every playful touch and lingering glance, I couldn’t help but wonder: Was this fake relationship with Alex secretly penning its own authentic ending? Or was I risking it all for something that was nothing more than make-believe?

There has not been a book Brittainy has written that I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed.

The Problem With Dating is a really enjoyable grumpy/sunshine romance with the right touch of humor added in.

I enjoyed watching the dynamics between Yara and Alex play out as I read this book. It felt natural watching two completely opposite people learn to navigate the other and slowly become more than they either could have guessed.

Brittainy truly has this amazing talent that makes her story feel so realistic. While I had some issues of my own with this story, overall I absolutely enjoyed it and loved both Yara and Alex.

Another amazing story by Brittainy that readers will absolutely love.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Darkest Need by Rachel Van Dyken

To touch a Dark One is certain death…to fall in love with one of them might just be your salvation.

Darkest Need, an all-new page-turning Dark Ones novella from New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken, is available now!

I see everything. I feel everything.
I watch people fall in love. I watch them burn with hate, anger, rage, and I see the cycle repeat over and over again. I take it on every night I work at Timber, aka Anubis’s bar in downtown Seattle, and then I help the rest of the immortals keep the very intense balance between Heaven and Earth.

I see everyone’s future but mine, and when I try to look, all I see is darkness, despair, need…

Until she walks into my bar with bruises on her face, getting pulled by one of the lesser demons. I do what any good bartender would do… I beat him within an inch of his life and turn my eyes to her.
By then, it’s too late.
She already has me in her grasp.
A succubus that has no other plan than to suck me clean of every inch of power that’s been bestowed on me by the Heavens.

I never thought my future involved getting kidnapped and tied up or that I’d die by way of sex—then again, maybe that’s for the best. Dying at the hands of my enemy rather than being one more burden to my already mated friends.

After all, giving into one last need before death, while selfish, may be exactly what my darkness means.

My need is great.
And she’s about to find out just how much.

**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 Darkest Need!

Listen, I know I have chains wrapped strategically around my wrists and that every second that goes by, said chains are burning a mark into my skin that may or may not mean I’m about to get completely demolished by a succubus demon.
But this is not how the story starts.
I mean, maybe it’s how it ends since I’ve been in this exact spot for the last two days without food or water, waiting for a rescue from my immortal friends, knowing full well they’re probably all just having sex and enjoying marital bliss without realizing I’m actually missing.
Me.
The manager of the Seattle demon bar, Sin.
Werewolf prince.
All around really upright kind of guy—or so I like to think. But do you know where that got me?
Here.
Chained.
See also: Demon goddess who has not come back to check on me even once and says she wants to kill me via sex.
Bartending is looking great right now. Immortal life in my werewolf clan did not prepare me for this or the fact that saving one succubus would actually turn me into her prey.
She was bruised.
Beaten beyond recognition.
I was going to kill the vampire that attempted to slaughter her, but that’s a longer, more violent story since she ended up doing the deed once she got a bit of my blood. But I did give her water, thinking, wow, I’ve done this person a total solid. I mean, despite the fact that she was pretty. Even her tears were pretty. The bruising and swelling on her face didn’t even hide how beautiful she was—or is.
Maybe my first wrong act was comforting her. Because the minute we touched, her eyes flashed a creepy red, and well…see also actual burning handcuffs around my wrists.
It’s clearly been a fun forty-eight hours. Maybe she’ll make it quick, though a weird part of me kind of wants my last few moments being sucked dry via sex to last for a while, so long that it’s all I focus on, all I care about, all I see.
I see visions of the future, but I never saw this.
So, strap in because I’m sure it’s going to be a great story. I just may not make it all the way to the end with you.

I devoured this quickly and thoroughly enjoyed this one.

If you have read any of RVD’s previous books in this series (The Dark Ones), you will absolutely love this novella. For new readers to this series, certain things may seem a bit confusing and feel overwhelmed, but just keep reading.

I absolutely loved Tarek & Lilith’s story. It was exactly what I needed.

New readers will get an idea on how all these characters relate to one another and because you will see how the secondary characters care for him, you get an idea of who he is. Lilith is bit harder to connect to but Rachel does a fairly good job of explaining her purpose.

Overall, a nice novella introducing all the characters in this series and supporting Tarek and his story.

Release Day Blitz & Review…The Curse Keepers by D.G. Swank

I have seven days to the save the world…we’re screwed.

The Curse Keepers by Denise Grover Swank is now live!

When the keepers meet for the first time, the gate will be opened.

Two little rules have kept me safe since my mother died protecting me: always trust your instincts and forget everything about the curse.

But when I accidentally activate an ancient catastrophe I’ve spent my life running from, breaking the seal on the gates of hell and ripping the lost colony of Roanoke back through time and getting the attention of a vengeful god in the process, rules go out the window.

I can barely keep myself alive, and now somehow, it’s my responsibility to save all of humanity?

We’re screwed.

My only hope is to learn everything I can—everything I should have already known—from my fellow Curse Keeper—Collin-effing-Daily. Collin can lay on the charm when he wants to, but he’s made it clear he’s not happy I’m a novice at all of this. Unfortunately, I feel a pull to him I can’t chalk up to supernatural powers. My instincts beg me not to trust Collin, but I’m out of other options.

We have seven days to save the world, and the clock starts now.

Not a bad start to a series. This is definitely more for YA readers, and I truly mean young readers.

This definitely took some time for me to get into for various reasons – the characters I struggled to connect with. The Native American folklore and the actual plot was what kept me going.

Ellie has always struggled with her belief in this curse for her own reasons, so I can understand her hesitancy to just suddenly go all-in on it. I did struggle with her mannerisms and reactions for her age.

Collin – not going to lie, I did not really care for him. He’s a chauvinistic prick. But I also think that the author didn’t want him to be this lovable, sweet companion. She nailed his personality.

Overall, it’s a decent read and a nice start to the series. I definitely believe that younger readers will enjoy this more than adult readers who like YA.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Fate of A Faux by Meagan Brandy & Amo Jones

FATE OF A FAUX

Meagan Brandy AND Amo Jones

Release Date: October 6

FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

The King of Darkness is dead.

It’s time for a new one to rise…

London Crow isn’t who I thought she was.

She’s worse.

My hate for her knows no bounds.

My need for her has no end.

But it’s my inability to have her that might just end us all, as the fates refuse to be ignored.

Now, there’s a darkness sweeping the streets of Rathe, threatening to destroy the Kingdom we know and love, and it’s all because of her.

The mate I can’t have.

The bond I can’t let go.

There is only one way to restore balance, and it begins and ends with her.

The problem? I broke the girl into a thousand tiny pieces without a second thought. Earning her forgiveness won’t be easy, but that’s fine.

If she won’t give it freely, I will take it.

One mistake at a time.

Fate of A Faux is the conclusion to London and Knight’s story, but is the second book in Amo & Meagan’s Lords of Rathe series.

This story continues on where Fate of A Royal ended. If you read my review for that one, then you know as a PNR reader, I had mixed feelings on it but was still intrigued enough to continue the series. And I am absolutely glad that I did.

Fate of A Faux definitely has more world building and paranormal elements in it and isn’t as heavy on the romance, which is what I like in my PNR books. For me, this book actually has a great balance of the paranormal aspects and the romance/relationship aspects.

There is a lot more action and twists in this second book. We get to know more about London and her background; we see more of a connection between London and Knight and not just the hot chemistry between them.

The fact that this second book is more enticing and enjoyable than the first is a great indication that Amo and Meagan are learning how to write in this genre and continuously making each book better than the last.

I am looking forward to seeing them develop this world more and learning more about the other Lords and their stories.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Bad Boys Don’t Lie by B.B. Easton

Bad Boys Don’t Die: The Complete Collection by BB Easton is now live!

From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 44 Chapters About 4 Men (inspiration for the Netflix original series Sex/Life) comes a New Adult romance with a dark, dystopian twist.

With only three days left until the predicted apocalypse, the small town of Franklin Springs, Georgia, has become a wasteland of abandoned cars, abandoned homes, abandoned businesses, and abandoned people. People like Rainbow Williams.

Rain isn’t afraid of dying. In fact, she’s looking forward to it. If she can just outrun her pain until April 23, she’ll never have to feel it at all.

Wes Parker has survived every horrible thing this life has thrown at him with nothing more than his resourcefulness and disarming good looks. Why should the end of the world be any different? All he needs are some basic supplies, shelter, and a sucker willing to help him out, which is exactly what he hops to find when he returns to his hometown of Franklin Springs.

As society crumbles, dangers mount, and secrets refuse to stay buried, two lost souls are thrust together in a twist of fate—one who will do anything to survive and one who can’t wait to die.

Perhaps, together, they can learn how to live.

Before their time runs out.

Titles Included in The Complete Collection:

Bad Boys Don’t Die

Bad Boys Don’t Stay

Bad Boys Don’t Fall

Meet BB Easton

ALL THE STARS!!!

This trilogy proves that B.B. can write in just about any genre. I signed up to read this trilogy because it’s by B.B. but also the title and cover grabbed my attention. I did not read the blurb til right before I started reading and that was when I realized I would be reading a dystopian novel, which I absolutely love, and I was like “hell yea!!”

B.B. did not let me down. If anything, she just made me love her writing even more.

Rain and Wes had two very different objectives with the “the world is ending” mentality. And then these two meet and things drastically change for them.

This trilogy moves at an extremely fast paced but it’s the perfect pace too. B.B. really knows how to build a world that you can visibly see in your mind and how everything plays out. You feel the everything that Rain and Wes go through, you empathize with them.

For as long as this trilogy is, it did not feel that long to me. I devoured this in two days because I could not put it down. I desperately needed to know what was going to happen next after each turn of the page.

I cannot say enough about this trilogy. It is absolutely phenomenal. And even if you don’t read dystopian, you definitely want to read this one.

BB Easton is the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN, the hilarious, steamy, tell-all memoir that inspired the Netflix Original Series, SEX/LIFE. Within the first month, SEX/LIFE was viewed by 67 million households worldwide, making it the 3rd Most-Watched Netflix Original Series of all time.

BB was a stressed-out school psychologist and mother of two when the inspiration to write 44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN struck. Through that process, she rediscovered her passion for writing, became dangerously sleep-deprived, and finally mustered enough courage to quit her job and become a full-time author.

BB went on to publish four more wickedly funny, shockingly steamy, and heartwarmingly autobiographical books in the 44 CHAPTERS series: SKIN, SPEED, STAR, and SUIT. Since then, she’s been hard at work writing fictional stories that appeal to her love for us-against-the-world romance, including a suspenseful dystopian trilogy (BAD BOYS DON’T DIE), a psychologist-client romantic comedy (GROUP THERAPY), and a dark Irish mafia romance (DEVIL OF DUBLIN).

Release Day Blitz & Review…I Wish I Knew Then by Jessica Peterson

I Wish I Knew Then by Jessica Peterson is now live!

My grandmother has a saying: what’s done in the dark always comes to light, especially in small towns with big secrets. And I was hiding the biggest secret of them all.

Every summer I spent growing up at my grandparents’ coastal estate was the same. Same cousins. Same chaos. Same long golf cart rides along the beach.

But everything changed the summer I turned eighteen, when my grandparents’ new housekeeper moved in with her son, Riley. With his big personality and head-turning looks, he was the local heartthrob.

We fell in love instantly. Riley was my first everything. First love. First time.

And my first heartbreak when he dumped me at the end of the summer.

Ten years later, I’m back on the island for my best friend’s wedding as her maid of honor. Who’s the first person I literally stumble into?

Riley Dixon. Even worse? He’s the groom’s best man, and a self-made billionaire to boot.

Being forced to spend an entire week together for wedding festivities quickly leads to more: hot hate sex, late nights of sneaking out, and unexpected revelations. The boy I knew a decade ago is gone, and the hate becomes…something else entirely. And I begin to wonder if Riley is hiding some secrets of his own.

I WISH I KNEW THEN is a small town, standalone romance. It is the first book in the Harbour Village Series.

first book by Jessica and I am hooked!! I Wish I Knew Then is the start of her newest series, Harbor Village, and a perfect book for new readers to Jessica.

I don’t even know where to start this review. The characters, the town, the writing – it was all so perfect.

I want to live in Harbor Village and have all these characters be my neighbors. I love their camaraderie, their appreciation for one another and the all-around support they have. GAH!! I loved it all.

Riley and Lu met one summer when Riley’s mom worked for Lu’s family. They are from completely different backgrounds and yet that did not stop them from falling in love with one another. Bad decisions are made and it’s ten years before they meet again, unexpectedly. But the flames and chemistry are still there and burning hot!!

Jessica truly knows how to write a slow burn that is blazing hot! I could not get enough of Riley and Lu. These two have a lot to work through but sometimes love does conquer all. And let me know tell, these two do not hold back when to another in so many ways. The spice is WOW!!

I loved, loved this story. I loved Riley and Lu’s love and I loved their passion for one another. And I absolutely adore this town and it’s inhabitants. I cannot wait to read more from this series.

A Carolina girl at heart, she fantasizes about splitting her time between Charleston and Asheville, but currently lives in Charlotte, NC.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Mr. Big Shot by R.S. Grey

Mr. Big Shot by R.S. Grey is now live!

Biting banter, fake relationships, and illicit workplace rendezvous–anything goes in this romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author R.S. Grey.

While most little girls grow up idolizing Ariel or Belle, I was banging a plastic gavel and pretending to be Judge Judy. I spent my summers divorcing Barbie and Ken and splitting their Dreamhouse assets. Now, my goal to become the very best acquisitions lawyer at the top firm in Chicago is within reach.

I’m one month into my big-girl job at Elwood Hoyt, venti Starbucks in hand, ready to take on the day. The sleek elevator doors are about to close…then he steps in after me. Hudson Rhodes—the one senior partner I was told to avoid at all costs—just so happens to be the heartless villain I’m assigned to work under.

Ever since he found out who I am—the Scarlett Elwood—we’ve been enemies, the sort who constantly bicker and bark, take jabs in the boardroom, and occasionally pop up shirtless in each other’s steamy dreams. Y’know, that kind. He has to know I could run to my dad at any time and demand his firing, but his confident smirk says he knows I’d never give him the satisfaction.

The elevator chimes as we reach our floor, and I feel his broad shoulders pull even with mine. Fury mixes with fear, hatred with lust. He turns to briefly hold my gaze before confidently stepping out in front. His message is clear:

If I want to reach my goal, I’m going to have to go through him first.

Another entertaining read from R.S. Grey.

Mr. Big Shot is like the equivalent of a pallet cleanser when you are jumping between different genres. I breezed through this book so quickly and hadn’t even realized it. It was that damn good.

Ms. Grey really knows how to write relatable and thoroughly enjoyable characters (both main and secondary). I love how all these characters always help sustain the story without feeling inundated with too many people.

The plot of this story is very simple and that’s one of the best parts about this book. While it’s simple, it’s very entertaining and just makes for a great, perfect read to jumpstart things for a reader.

What can I say other than, Mr. Big Shot truly showcases why I will always read anything Ms. Grey puts out. It’s a flawless story with impeccable writing.

Release Day Blitz & Review…I’ve Watched You Die by Karina Banks

I’ve Watched You Die by Karina Banks is now live!

A young woman, cursed. A rebellious prince in hiding. A forbidden love that will threaten two worlds…

There are two main things I’ve learned since my life turned upside down. The first is, if you speak of someone’s death before it happens, you’ll be blamed for murder. The second? If the hottest guy you’ve ever seen kisses you, and thanks you for saving his life, don’t argue.

I watched him die, over and over. So many times. The vision is always the same and there is never one damn thing I can do to save him. I don’t know why I can’t dream about normal things, like going to school naked, or spiders. I hate spiders. No, I’m lucky enough to see strangers at the moments of their deaths.

The only thing keeping me sane is knowing the visions aren’t real.

Until the accident. The blood. He dies in my arms.

At least, I thought he did. But now he’s here, telling me I saved his life. Telling me unbelievable stories about monsters and gods and destiny. Promising to protect me.

If none of this is real, why am I afraid of the creatures hunting me? And if I saved his life, why are the nightmares back, stronger than ever? What is this thing lurking inside me, eager to strike?

I don’t know, but I’m freaking out.

Outstanding debt novel for Karina Banks!!!

I’ve Watched You Die is the first book in what I can only call a very intriguing & engaging Norse Mythology fantasy romance.

Karina draws readers in immediately with a jaw-dropping scene but continues to keep them on edge with great world building & enticing characters.

I won’t give you any details of the book because this book is best experienced without any knowledge but what the blurb gives you.

Karina builds this story perfectly by delivering the right amount of information with riveting action scenes that all wrap together.

I’ve never read anything like this before and never wanted the book to end. I love the Norse Mythology that this story is based off of and cannot wait to see what happens in book two.

Absolute must-read, especially for those who love fantasy.

Meet Karina Banks

Karina Banks lives, works, and goes to school in Boston, MA. She is a college student, songwriter, rock climber, pianist, and can normally be found sipping a cup of Earl Grey tea – with milk and sugar, of course. Karina began writing new scenes for her book as a means to procrastinate doing her “real” homework. If you live in Boston, you might catch her riding the T, or frequenting a nearby boba location. I’ve Watched You Die is her first novel.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Honeyed by Carrie Aarons

Honeyed by Carrie Aarons is now live!

Growing up in a house full of brothers, it’s not a surprise that Alana Ashton is the princess of Hope Crest.

Being the only female of the small town’s founding family means that while she usually gets her way, she has to work doubly hard to earn and keep respect. Veering from her expected path to follow crazy dreams, like opening her own shop, not only isn’t in the cards, it’s also not taken seriously. So when her best friend, the ex-high school quarterback with a smile of gold and a traumatic past, proposes marriage out of the blue after years of Alana not-so-secretly pining after him, the answer isn’t an automatic no.

Marrying him, and the fortune they’ll both inherit if she specifically says I do, could be just the thing to set her vision in motion. But can she keep their decades-long relationship strictly business, or will those long unrequited feelings fool her into thinking this union will be for life?

Warren Teal is the orphan no one wanted but everyone speculated about.

After his father tragically took his mother from him, Warren’s story has been broadcast in the media for years. Cue the Ashtons, who took him under their wings the first time Alana brought him home in middle school. Years later, Hope Crest’s royal family offered him a job at their renowned restaurant, and Warren thought he’d found the quiet, under-the-radar life he’d always been searching for.

Until the day he received a letter leaving him a fortune. There was just one catch; he must marry to receive it. And not just anyone, but the gorgeous, stubborn woman he’d always loved in secret but never felt worthy of. Knowing he could return the favor and grant her wildest dreams, he popped the question.

But when his past comes for the future they’re building, she gets caught in the crossfires of the danger and darkness meant for him. Divorce, and breaking his own heart, seem like the only options to keep her safe.

Even if doing so means he may never get to confess that their fake marriage is the realest love he’s ever experienced.

Meet Carrie Aarons

Author of romance novels such as Fool Me Twice and Love at First Fight, Carrie Aarons writes books that are just as swoon-worthy as they are sarcastic. A former journalist, she prefers the love stories of her imagination, and the athleisure dress code, much better.

When she isn’t writing, Carrie is busy binging reality TV, having a love/hate relationship with cardio, and trying not to burn dinner. She lives in the suburbs of New Jersey with her husband, two children and ninety-pound rescue pup.
