Release Day Blitz & Review…Irreversible by Jennifer Hartmann & Chelley St. Clair

by Courtney

Irreversible by Jennifer Hartmann and Chelley St Clair is now live!

𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒔𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒌𝒆𝒑𝒕 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒉𝒊𝒅𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒔.
𝑰 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚…
𝑩𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝑰’𝒎 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎.

I spend my days locked in a black-market nightmare, held captive by a twisted mastermind who considers me his prized possession. My only form of human contact are the victims in the next room, each of whom disappears faster than the last.

Everyone leaves…except me.

Then I hear him—Isaac. Brash, elusive, and haunted, he isn’t anyone’s idea of a hero. Separated by a wall, our faces hidden, his voice cuts through the darkness, becoming my only hope. He’s driven by vengeance, bearing scars as dark as my own. Despite his rough edges, a fragile bond forms between us—a lifeline.

Isaac might be my best chance of escape, but time is slipping away. Breaking free will mean outrunning both our pasts, and in this twisted game, the cost of freedom may be more than we can afford to pay.

Appearances deceive. Choices have consequences.

And some consequences?
They are irreversible.

I have literally stared at my computer for a few hours, trying to gather my thoughts on this.

All I have is – this book is a MUST READ. That’s all I keep thinking. So I am sure you are thinking, but why 4 stars and not 5 stars if it’s a MUST READ?

Well this book is marketed as a dark romance and while there are some romantic aspects to this story, I would be hesitant to call it a dark romance. Don’t get me wrong, I loved this story and the elements surrounding it, but I felt a bit letdown in the romance area.

Jennifer and Chelley deliver a suspenseful story that has some very dark elements that keeps readers engaged throughout the entirety of the story. This is what I loved most about this book – sitting at the edge of my seat, impatiently needing to know what happens next.

Overall, this is a great dark, suspenseful story. Just don’t expect too much in the romance area.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Not Your Biggest Fan by Sara Ney

by Courtney

NOT YOUR BIGGEST FAN

Sara Ney

Release Date: January 28

Blurb:

USA Today bestselling author Sara Ney sizzles with a quick-witted, sexy romp about an eager entrepreneur and a cocky football star who couldn’t be more different—or more into each other.

Harlow James is destined to rock the dating world. The creator of Kissmet, the app helping singles find love, she’s in New York to secure advertisers. But the sassy, small-town girl can’t help meddling in other people’s business.

When she runs into a muscular stranger at her go-to food truck, Harlow doesn’t realize he’s Landon “Andy” Burke, the NFL’s most-wanted free agent, in town to talk contracts. She just sees a hottie about to get burned by undercooked street food. Though she tries to warn him, he shrugs her off, making a little wager instead.

In a messy twist of fate, Andy finds himself in the same hotel as Harlow. When she collects on their bet, they make a mind-blowing—and bed-rocking—connection. But after the weekend, she goes home to Green Bay to her goofy dad and corgi, ready to focus everything on work again. Kissmet, however, has other ideas, when Andy knocks on her door…

Available in KU

Not Your Biggest Fan was a very cute sports romance in Sara’s newest series, Not Yours.

I have always enjoyed Sara’s books as they are very light, hardly any drama or angst, lots of humor and characters that make you smile. And you get exactly that with this book.

The meet-cute between Harlow and Andy is very endearing and really sets the tone for this book. Harlow is quite the character and while she says she’s not like her father (Big Steve will be a fave of readers) she definitely exudes the same confidence and inner-strength he has. Andy was entertaining at times, but he really didn’t do much for me, but that didn’t deter me from enjoying the story.

As with most of Sara’s books, the story takes place over a short period of time and we get to see how these characters get to know one another and leaves their outcome open-ended (sometimes seen in other books of the series). I love that Sara’s books have this sort of ending for her characters because nothing is set in stone for them for the future and allows readers to create their own epilogue of sorts.

I am looking forward to more from this series and anxiously await to see who takes Dex down.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Queens and Monsters by Aleatha Romig

by Courtney

QUEENS & MONSTERS

Aleatha Romig

Release Date: January 27

Reinaldo Roríguez

Emiliano Ruiz

Both are dangerous, deadly, and powerful. Both are second-generation soldiers proving themselves in the Roríguez cartel.

Both want me.

Of course, I wasn’t told until it was too late. That’s the way things work in the famiglia. My fate is up to Dario Luciano, my guardian.

He doesn’t care the way the men make me feel. How when I’m near them, the air crackles and my skin warms with stinging electricity, stirring something deep inside me that never before existed.

One fills me with desire, twisting my insides.

The other recognizes my need to be loved, filling me with a comfortable warmth.

By the time I learn that both have requested my hand, a deal has been brokered.

Neither man from the Roríguez cartel will have me.

I’ve been promised to another, the son of Dario’s sworn enemy.

Will I have any say in my future?

What will happen to the alliance between the Luciano famiglia and the Roríguez cartel when tragedy strikes?

Have you been Aleatha’d?

QUEENS AND MONSTERS is a stand-alone dangerous Mafia/cartel romance in the “Brutal Vows” series. Each arranged-marriage story is filled with the suspense, intrigue, and heat you’ve come to expect from New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig.

Grab Your Copy!

https://books2read.com/u/br0Y9W

This was quite the wild ride and I loved every minute of it.

These books need to be read in order because there is an underlying plotline happening throughout each book. Each book does focus on a particular set of characters, but they all play into the underlying plotline, which just adds to the overall story.

Aleatha really knows how to write these mafia stories that keep readers engaged the whole time and flipping pages quickly. Her storytelling just pulls you in and leaves you wanting more.

Queens and Monsters truly showcases how well Aleatha intertwines the mafia/cartel worlds and how they “cater” to one another, when it fits their goals. There is so much going on but it’s never confusing to the reader and it all blends so seamlessly.

The blurb gives you all need to know going into this. I won’t spoil anything by attempting to give you any rundown of what happens in this book or any small parts because I loved seeing things unfold without any knowledge of anything but the blurb beforehand.

I am loving this series and cannot wait to see what she brings us in the next book.

Release Day & Review…Untamed by Jane Henry

by Courtney

Untamed by Jane Henry is now live!

When fiction meets fantasy it’s not all fun and games..

I don’t just dream about possessive anti-heroes.

I crave them.

The dark, dangerous ones dripping with Bratva energy, the ones who claim you with a single look and make the world kneel at your feet just to keep you safe.

“Touch her and die…”? I live for it.

“My wife…”? My favorite.

It’s all a harmless fantasy.

Until it’s not.

I’ve built an online following fan-girling over book boyfriends just like him.

And he knows it.

The only problem? Rodion Kopolev doesn’t just embody the dark anti-heroes I love…he is one.

So when his obsessive focus lands on me, I feel like the heroine in one of my books.

His possessive words claim me.

His dominant touch brands me.

And when I try to run, he chases…

But when the threats of my past creep closer and I need protection from a dangerous stalker, Rodion is the devil willing to protect me… for a price.

Turns out, when the fantasy becomes reality, it’s not so harmless after all…

Please note: Untamed is a standalone dark romance with a strong, fierce heroine and an unapologetically obsessive, jealous, and possessive alpha anti-hero. No OW drama, no cliffhanger, always a hard-won HEA.

RODION & EMBER!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This book had me all-in from the get-go. Hook. Line. Sinker.

Jane wrote this book flawlessly. From the characters, to the storyline, to the undeniable burning chemistry and how it played out and along with the plot. Jane merged all of it with impeccable plotting and it flowed beautifully.

Rodion and Amber were an absolute perfect match for one another in so many ways. The banter, push & pull, and hot-as-sin scenes (and not just those *ahem* scenes) it just added to the intensity of this book.

Let’s not forget this is a MAFIA romance. There is no shortage of drama & action as Rodion is out to prove to his brothers that he’s not the slacker they think he is.

I love this one so much more than the first & I’m excited to see what Jane delivers in the next books.

Highly recommended!!

Meet Jane

Release Day Blitz & Review…The Apple Tree by Jewel E. Ann

by Courtney

The Apple Tree by Jewel E. Ann is now live!

He’s a single dad starting over in a new town. She’s a relentless flirt with a penchant for trouble, ten years younger than him, and the babysitter. What could go wrong?

Eve has just graduated from high school, but she doesn’t know what’s next aside from working at the local motel, spying on Kyle, her neighbor, and stealing apples from his orchard. If she doesn’t figure things out soon, she’ll be stuck at home and treated like a child forever.

Kyle is a single dad and the new football coach who needs a babysitter for his adorable son. When he meets Eve, there’s an instant connection because she reminds him of someone—himself. But Eve is the preacher’s daughter, off-limits, and Kyle has already had his heart trampled by his ex.

After earning his son’s affection with her homemade apple sauce and youthful spirit, Eve asks Kyle to teach her things like driving his fishing boat and shooting his hunting bow. Despite his better judgment, he agrees, but swears Eve to secrecy so no one gets the wrong idea about them.

Their playful banter and innocent flirting crosses a line, and Kyle misses the heartbreaking secret Eve’s hidden in plain sight.

When tragedy strikes, can they find their way back to each other?

The Apple Tree is a standalone in the Sunday Morning series by USA Today & Wall Street Journal Bestselling author Jewel E. Ann.

Meet Jewel E. Ann

I know this will sound completely biased, but there isn’t anything by Jewel that I will not devour and love wholeheartedly.

Jewel’s writing is unbelievably captivating and no matter what the storyline, characters or overall plot, readers are enthralled with the entirety of the book.

Eve and Kyle’s story is quite the emotional yet hilarious journey that makes me smile and brings tears to my eyes at the same time. There is so much that these two endure, that I was really wondering, “will they get their HEA?”

I won’t say much more on this book. Jewel delivers another phenomenal and realistic story that readers will not be able to put down once they start.

Jewel is a Wall Street Journal & USA Today bestselling author with a quirky sense of humor. When she’s not saving the planet one tree at a time, you can find her role modeling questionable behavior to her three boys, binge-watching Netflix with her husband, and writing mind-bending romance.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Vengeance and Venom by Keary Taylor

by Courtney

There are vampires in New York City. Turns out, they’re everywhere.

I went in to find my best friend. Ophelia disappeared without a trace after going to one of those elusive Red parties. Turns out Red parties are where vampires feed on willing humans, and where some people vanish, never to be seen again.

I went to that party for answers. What I found was a dangerously gorgeous vampire with tattoos, piercings, and a legacy as dark as the shadows he moves in—Ares Hunt. He insists I’m in way over my head. Maybe I am. But when I refuse to give up without a fight, Ares makes a proposal: he’ll help me find Ophelia, but in return, I have to pretend to be his fiancée so he can infiltrate his father’s inner circle. His father, a powerful vampire, is at the heart of these Red parties, and Ares is desperate to bring him down.

Suddenly, I’m living in a world I barely understand—wearing a massive engagement ring, sharing a penthouse with Ares, and mingling with the vampire elite. Pretending to be Ares’ fiancée turns my entire world upside down. With every passing day, our business arrangement begins to blur. Ares is intoxicating. He’s a man born of darkness, filled with venom that equals my need for vengeance, but I see the protective man hidden beneath the rough exterior. He helps me face my demons. He makes me feel like I belong. And when he kisses me for the first time?

I realize Ares was right – I am in way over my head.

A note to readers: Vengeance and Venom features spicier content, more explicit language, and darker themes than Keary Taylor books of the past.

Amazon

VENGEANCE & VENOM is available in Kindle Unlimited. You can also grab the audio version on Audible, or the hardback on Amazon.

You’re just going to leave us hanging like that!?!? That build-up and then the perfect pace that literally leaves us begging for more…

First and foremost, you can absolutely read this book with zero prior knowledge to any of the other books in this universe. Keary does a great job of describing this entire word in this book so you have an idea of what encompasses the universe, but doesn’t take away from this series and particular world.

Vengeance and Venom – they are out to get their own justice and answers but never expected to need the other. Nor to find solace and romance in one another.

Keary starts this series incredibly well and gives readers the slow-burn and perfect building blocks to what will be another phenomenal series. I enjoy the background of the Born and how they came to be. The history of Venom and his family and how all other families work together.

I want to say so much more, but want readers to experience this story the way I did – with very little knowledge except what the blurb says.

Keary delivers another heart-pumping , fast-paced paranormal story in her Blood Descendants Universe. I cannot wait for the next book.

MEET KEARY TAYLOR

Keary Taylor is the USA TODAY bestselling author of over forty paranormal, sci-fi, and contemporary romance titles. She grew up along the foothills of the Rocky Mountains where, from a young age, she started creating imaginary worlds and daring characters who always fell in love. She lives on a tiny island in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and their children. She continues to have an overactive imagination that frequently keeps her up at night.

Release Day Blitz…Indiscretion by Vi Keeland

by Courtney

Title: Indiscretion

Author: Vi Keeland

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Release Date: January 13, 2025

BLURB

He’s her boss. She’s his greatest temptation.

The first time I met Dawson Reed, we wound up in bed.

The problem was, neither of us knew the other were there.

When I woke up in the middle of the night and found a stranger next to me, instinct kicked in and I attacked the intruder.

Only it turned out, the man wasn’t an intruder at all.

Dawson had rented this cabin, too. Apparently, a system glitch allowed a duplicate booking.

We’d soon find out we were in town for the same wedding, and Dawson was the groomsman I’d been warned about. He was as tall, dark and jaw-droppingly gorgeous as my best friend had described. Though she was also right when she’d said you two will hate each other.

When daylight rolled around, Dawson and I attempted to straighten out the mess we found ourselves in. But it proved to be more difficult than we initially thought. Since it was a holiday weekend, there wasn’t a single room available for more than fifty miles.

I suppose things could be worse than sharing a cabin for a weekend with a handsome man you despise.

Like maybe him winding up being your new boss?

https://mybook.to/ThePathToLovingHim

About THE PATH TO LOVING HIM:

What does one do when they completely blow an interview?

If you’re me, you pick up a one-night stand with the most gorgeous man you’ve ever seen…

That’s right, after a lousy interview that could have changed everything for me, I headed over to the local small town bar to sulk when the one man I shouldn’t want walked in. And when my friend convinced me to take him back to my hotel room, I didn’t think about it, I just did it . . . well, I did him.

It was an unforgettable night, but I didn’t stay for breakfast. Instead, I got out of there and tried not to think about him again.

Everything was fine until I received a call from the interviewer saying I got the job as the assistant baseball coach at Almond Bay High. I’d be working directly under the one and only Ryland Rowley–my one-night stand.

Now, I’m not only working with him but renting the apartment above his garage. And I have to deal with the fact that he’s the man I dream about and can’t have while not letting my attraction get in the way of keeping the harmony between us. Sounds easy, doesn’t it?

It should have been, except the plan falls apart when my shower breaks, and night after night I have to slip into his house to use the bathroom only to find him in the kitchen, staring me down with those hungry, single dad eyes.

Phenomenal start to a new series.

This was such a fun, cute YA sports romance. I enjoyed the characters and really found the story engaging and entertaining in so many ways. And yes, this is a true YA romance that even the younger adult will enjoy as much as older readers.

Claire and Austin are both about to embark are new changes and challengers during the junior, but for very different reasons. Austin is new the area and Claire is adjusting to new changes and challenges. What I loved most, the mannerisms and characteristics match these characters so well – they stay true to who they are.

I enjoyed the authenticity of this story – from the sports aspect, to the every day challenges of high school students. Rebecca delivered a fantastic story with characters that are relatable.

Looking forward to more from this author and this series.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Crucible by B.B. Reid

by Courtney

Crucible by B.B. Reid is now live!

From bestselling author B.B. Reid comes a wicked retelling of your favorite fable. Have you heard the tale of Goldilocks? This one’s just right…

America’s sweetheart has been canceled.

From teen star to international phenom to the biggest celebrity in the world, Aurelia George has suddenly found herself on the other side of adoration. The public thinks they hate her when they never really knew her. The saddest tragedy of all is that she doesn’t know herself.

Done with the fame, glitz, and glam—the whole doe-eyed princess charade—Aurelia decides she’s taking back her life, even if it costs her everything.

But her uncle has other plans.

Shipped far away until the heat dies, Aurelia finds herself in the one place where her name means nothing. When a blizzard causes her plane to crash, she becomes stranded in the wilds of Northern Canada, a sole survivor with no one to turn to.

No one except them.

The misanthropic mountain men who’ve shut themselves away.

It’s their cabin Aurelia finds in the icy wilderness and their obsession she ignites when they discover her sleeping in one of their beds. Thorin, Khalil, and Ezekiel (and all of his personalities) have only longed for one thing in nine long years…a woman to warm their beds.

Surviving a plane crash, wolves, avalanches, frozen lakes, and a harsh winter with three feral men is nothing compared to Aurelia’s hardest trial of all—finding herself.

Crucible is a dark romance with multiple love interests, and even better, she doesn’t have to choose between them. It is also the first in a duet and ends on a cliffhanger. Please refer to the trigger warnings before reading.

Download today or read for FREE with Kindle Unlimited

Amazon: https://bit.ly/4g6Ou0s

Amazon Worldwide: https://mybook.to/CrucibleBBR

Goodreads: https://bit.ly/GR-Crucible

Perfect way to tell readers what this is book like – dark retelling of Godilocks. And I mean DARK.

Please check the TW if you have any. Otherwise, this book is right down the alley for dark romance lovers.

This book is not for the faint of heart. B.B. does not hold back on anything when it comes to the darker elements in this story. This story has so many facets to it and it’s amazing to see all of it unfold as the story progresses.

I am purposely being vague with my review because I want readers going into this the same way I did – with just the blurb. This story takes some time to get into, but B.B. does this to build the story up; for readers to see the buildup between these characters and how things evolve as the story moves forward.

This story keeps readers right at the edge of their seats all the way through the end and leaves us hanging, begging for more. I have no idea where B.B. is going to take us next with this story and I cannot wait to find out.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Enticing by Bella Matthews

by Courtney

Enticing by Bella Matthews is now live!

From USA Today and #1 Amazon Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes a Single Mom, Marriage Of Convenience, Hockey Romance.

You’d think a romance author would know better than to fall for her fake husband. It’s the oldest trope in the book . . . literally. But it turns out writing it and living it are two very different things.

The plan was enticing—marry hockey’s hottest player so I could receive my inheritance and give my daughters the life they deserve. I’m already a single mom at twenty-five—how hard could it be?

Well . . . the answer is harder than you think because Leo Sinclair is so much more than I bargained for. Six foot, four inches of toned muscle and golden skin wrapped around the most perfectly chiseled jaw and dangerously charming smile. I knew he’d be hard to resist . . . but it’s not just his looks that weaken my resolve.

It’s the way he wins over my daughters with ease.

The way he sees through my defenses and quiets my fears.

The way he says “my wife” like he means it.

Suddenly, this arrangement doesn’t feel so fake. And I’m no longer sure which of us is playing pretend.

But when love wasn’t part of the deal, will saying “I do” turn out to be his biggest regret—or mine?

The books in this series just get better and better!! And the titles for these books are absolutely perfect for each story.

Leo Sinclair has my heart. We saw him as this funny man in Tempting, but he showed as whole other side in Enticing. This man will pull at your heartstrings and have you wanting more of him with each turned page.

Addie has been through quite a bit and her girls are her world. She’s an extremely fierce heroine and will stop at nothing to protect her girls.

I love how this story unfolded. Addie’s daughter’s were a perfect addition and just added another layer to Leo and Addie’s story.

Bravo, Bella! Another smashing hit.
