Release Day Blitz & Review…Love Sick by Monica James

LOVE SICK

Monica James

Series: Heart Memory Transfer Duet: Book Two

Genre: Dark Romance/ Gothic Horror

Cover Model: Darcie Hamilton @darcie_hamilton

Photographer: Michelle Lancaster @lanefotograf

Cover Designer: Lori Jackson Design @lorilovesbookjackson


All I want is revenge.

But I’m afraid it will destroy me because I’m not a monster.

Or maybe I am.

And that’s thanks to Doctor Alanna Norton.

She’s tortured me.

She’s made me forget who I am.

And she’s done all this in the name of love.

But the love I feel for my son, who was stolen from me, will triumph. I won’t accept any other outcome.

There is another love which I will fight for—Dutch Atwood.

But what I find…the sting of betrayal lingers. I look at Dutch through new eyes; he doesn’t trust me, and I don’t trust him.

I’m faced with so many scenarios—I wish I knew how this story ends so I can make the right choice.

But there is no right in the hand I was dealt.

Alanna wants love so badly, so I intend to show her what true love looks like, because the only thing that matters is getting out of here…but not before I take from Alanna what she took from me.

Her heart.


YES! YES! YES!

Cue all the accolades and applause for Monica!!

HOT DAMN!! Monica, you have blown me away with this duet.

Love Sick is the continuation of Heart Sick and conclusion to this duet.  And god damn, it was worth the wild and chaotic ride.  

This duet is like nothing I have read before and Monica’s delivery of this story is superb. I was enraptured from the start and no matter how disturbing the scene became, I was all in!!  

“In every book, every reader wants to know why… why did the villain do what they did? They want to know their backstory to know why they’re the bad guy”

GAH!!  This book, this duet, was insane in the best ways. I could not get enough of it.

Luna and Dutch’s story is heartbreakingly beautiful.

Just go read it but heed the trigger warnings if you are sensitive to certain things.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Little Girl Vanished by Denise Grover Swank

 

Little Girl Vanished by Denise Grover Swank is now live!

 

Disgraced, ex-detective Harper Adams is perfectly content wallowing at rock bottom. She’s lost her job, house, and reputation, and it only gets worse when she’s forced to move back home to Jackson Creek, Arkansas, the one place she swore she’d never return.

But everything changes when she gets chilling news. A childhood friend’s daughter is missing…and it’s eerily reminiscent of Harper’s sister’s kidnapping and murder two decades ago.

Not her business.

Except with the police fumbling the case at every turn, Harper realizes she might be the only one who can save the girl.

And she might need the help of James Malcolm, a former crime boss, to do it.

It’s been a good 10+ years since I have read a book by DGS and honestly, I don’t know why.  

Denise’s ability to write enthralling and captivating mysteries is second-to-none. She writes characters that are authentic and real and allows readers to connect to them and just makes the story all the more surreal.

Little Girl Vanished is the first book in Denise’s newest series, Harper Adams Mystery and sets the pace for this series perfectly. 

The blurb gives you all the details you need to know about this book and I am not going to rehash that in my review. But I will tell you how well written this story is.

Denise breathes life into these characters. You easily get a sense of who these characters are through their emotions, actions and mannerisms. The banter amongst them all also tis very telling of who these individuals are.

Harper is struggling to come to grips with moving back home and no longer being a detective and you can emphasize with her throughout the book and the choices she makes. But you also understand who she is as a detective and why she chose that profession – she’s damn good at it.

James is a bit mysterious but you know that he’s also has a very fearful past. However, you never know the true reason behind his decisions and choices.

I absolutely loved the start of this series and cannot wait to see what happens in the coming books.  I am all in on this series.

Lyla Eden has spent the last few years watching her siblings fall in love. Meanwhile, she’s married to her job. It’s on her hundredth consecutive workday that her sister stages an intervention, kicking Lyla out of her own coffee shop. With nothing else to do, Lyla sets out on her favorite hiking trail.
It’s there that she spots a man washing blood from his hands in a stream. One moment she’s staring at the jagged scar on his face. The next, his hand is around her throat. But by some miracle, he lets her go.

Shaken to her core, Lyla reports the incident to the local police. Two days later, Vance Sutter arrives in town, armed with endless questions and a tarnished badge.

Vance may be ruggedly handsome but he’s as mysterious as the man he’s hunting. And he’ll be gone from Quincy in a blink. Yet Lyla’s crush is impossible to stop.

No matter how hard Vance tries to ignore it, there’s no denying the chemistry between them. And avoiding Lyla is not an option. After years of chasing dead ends, she’s his only lead to closing the case that haunts his career. So together, they’ll retrace her steps.

To find the scarred man she met beside a crimson river.

Crimson River is the fifth book in The Eden series by Devney Perry and this one is slightly different than the other books this is more mystery and suspense, while the others were more contemporary romance.

I love this book the most out of all of them because of its unique storyline and that it veered off the path a bit. Devney did a wonderful job of giving this book the perfect blend of suspense with the romance and piecing the story together perfectly.

Crimson River moved at the perfect, not just the story itself, but how everyone interacted and how things developed as the story progressed.  It all felt natural and nothing felt forced or added for dramatic effect.

And I have to say that I love the mystery story happens to surround Lyla and she is probably the last Eden that I would ever expect to find in this situation.  I loved it!!

Another phenomenal book from Devney and the perfect story for Lyla Eden.

Summer Jones only wants three things in life:

1. Keep her house plants alive.
2. Open a beautiful bed-and-breakfast.

3. Never see or speak to Beckett Valentine again.

None of those things are currently possible.

Summer Jones and Beckett Valentine are rivals and have never wanted the same things in life except for the newly for sale Horseshoe Creek Ranch. Summer thought her dreams of building a B&B would finally come true until her number one enemy decides he wants the land, too. Beckett plays dirty and refuses to give her what she wants—a common theme in their relationship—and the dream of acquiring the property turns into a living nightmare.

They might’ve been at each other’s throats since they were teens, but the stakes have never been so high. And right now, she’s more determined than ever to take down her best friend’s older brother—cowboy boots and all.

**Bless Your Heart is a small town, enemies to lovers, best friend’s older brother, contemporary southern romance with a guaranteed happily ever after. Each book in the Valentine Texas series is a stand-alone. Warning: this book contains tons of Southern sass, sarcasm, and lots of spice! Fade to black is not included.**

Bless Your Heart is the first book in Lyla’s newest series, Valentine Texas, and knows how to grab her readers and keep them vested.

I absolutely loved this enemies-to-lovers story. Beckett and Summer have lived by one another for their entire lives and Summer also happens to be Beckett’s sister’s best friend.  So these have always been at each other’s throats until Beckett’s family started seeing it as sexual tension the older everyone got.

A property next to the Beckett farm has now come up for sale and both want it for their own businesses. But neither is willing to help the other out because that’s just how these two roll.  But what happens when Beckett challenges Summer and she’s loses the bet and now has to go on a date with him?!?

Lyla delivered the perfect southern romance with the right amount of sexual tension. I absolutely enjoyed the banter amongst everyone, especially the siblings. There were some conversations that started to veer towards weird, but thankfully Lyla handled that well.

Overall, this is a great start to the series and I cannot see who we read about next.

Release Day Blitz & Review…In The Gray by B.B. Reid

In the Gray by B.B. Reid is now live!

ATLAS

I know what they say. Grief makes you do things.

After the year I’ve had, I’m bathing in it.

Dad’s dead.

Mom is…mom.

My boyfriend and best friend are too busy screwing to comfort me.

When a letter arrives with no return address telling me where to go for a new start, I

don’t hesitate.

I pack some clothes and what’s left of my life and run.

But I didn’t expect the fire waiting for me when I arrived. I didn’t count on the burn.

Rowdy Wray.

They call him the lion of Idlewild.

Me…I call him boss.

He’s the key to my past and the path to my future.

What happens next is our twisted secret.

ROWDY

Who is this girl?

Atlas Beck.

This damaged young thing shows up at my place of business and tells me she’s my new

receptionist.

I should have fired her.

I would have fired her if she hadn’t begged so beautifully.

Atlas told me not to let her go, but she didn’t know what she was asking. And now?

It’s too late to put the crazy back in its cage.

4.5 Stars

What did I just read?! Why has no one told me about B.B. before?!?!

I literally inhaled this book in a day. One day. And it’s no small book either.

I don’t even know what to say except, “Holy Shit, that was a wild ride.”

Atlas and Rowdy’s story in one hell of rollercoaster. Their chemistry burns the pages yet at the same time you will be going WTF!?

Gah, I want to say so much but I have no idea how. And I don’t want to spoil anything.

Just go read this book, but be warned there are some uncomfortable scenes that will not be for everyone.

Book Sale & Review…A Gorgeous Villain by Saffron A. Kent

We are thrilled to share A GORGEOUS VILLAIN by Saffron A. Kent is FREE for a limited time!

#OneClickHere https://bit.ly/3WLpumE

*A standalone novel set in the world of St. Mary’s
**INCLUDES the prequel, The Wild Mustang & The Dancing Fairy

Two years ago, Reed Jackson betrayed Calliope Thorne and broke her heart. So she stole his most prized possession – a white mustang – and drove it into the lake for revenge.

Now, Callie is stuck at a reform school while Reed is off at college, living his life without repercussions.

Until he comes back.

With him comes back all the feelings that Callie has been trying to bury: anger and heartbreak.

But most of all, desire.

At the sight of his beautiful but lying lips and his gunmetal gray eyes that still taunt and smolder when he looks at her.

Whatever though. It’s not as if Callie is ever going to fall for her ex-boyfriend again. Or let him corner her in a bar one night and touch her, kiss her…

Neither is she going to kiss him back. Or worse, sleep with him.

Because that would make her naïve and foolish.

Oh, and also pregnant.

And there’s no way Callie is ever going to get pregnant at eighteen and with Reed’s baby, no less. The guy she hates.The guy who taught her all about heartbreak.

I haven’t read too many books by Saffron and those that I have read, have been a mixed bag with my reviews. And this is why I won’t ever say no when a book doesn’t win me over; not every book is going to be “WOW” for me and just because one book doesn’t “WOW” me doesn’t mean I stop reading that particular author.

A Gorgeous Villain is mixed read in itself for me. While I loved the story itself, the pacing and the writing kept dulling and stalling the story for me. There were alot of repetitive thoughts that were rewritten differently throughout this book. The plot didn’t move along well and felt stagnant through most of it. So why did I keep reading?

Well, I was truly vested in the characters – I wanted to see if Reed could go redeem himself, even though I felt he didn’t deserve Callie. However, in his effed up mind, he loved her in his own away, even if he doesn’t believe in love. But I needed to see if he was worth Callie’s love in the end.

Callie, oh you stupid, stupid girl who couldn’t walk away. I love her but wanted to smack her, ALOT. But I also blame her brothers for keeping her so guarded – I think she would have seen the red flags alot sooner and been stronger against Reed. I would have love to seen her give him a dose of his own medicine. And in her own tiny way, she did at times.

Overall, I did enjoy this more than the first book. While I skimmed alot due to repetitiveness, I didn’t want to stop reading it either. Did it need to be this long – no. But I still read it all.

I am intrigued about Ledger and Tempest’s story and hope to read that once it releases.

I have read two other books in this series and will read the other two that I missed because I am curious how those stories played out.

Looking for a Fake Fiancé

Have you ever wanted to prove someone wrong so badly that you could taste it?

It doesn’t matter if they’re right. The fact that they had the audacity to say it is what counts.

Hi. It’s me. I’m that person.

The man I’ve been casually seeing told me I’m not “wife material” and should “lower my expectations”. Didn’t he realize I lowered them the moment I met him for dinner?

Obviously not.

Am I petty? Maybe. Annoyed? Of course. Determined? Definitely.

I need someone to help me flaunt my new engagement—my fiancé couldn’t wait to pop the question because I’m that amazing—in his face.

The problem? I don’t have a boyfriend, let alone a husband-to-be.

Which brings us to you.

Are you handsome? Successful? A smooth talker extraordinaire?

Are you willing to do all the things that someone madly in love would do?

Putting your hand on the small of my back. Forehead kissing. Acting like I’m a treasure you can’t live without. I need you to be prepared to do all those things … and maybe more.

What do you get out of this? I’m willing to negotiate terms—especially if they include a job and a place to stay. It’s a long story.

One night. One event. Let’s put on one heck of a show.

From USA Today and Amazon Charts Bestselling author comes a “hot and hilarious!” fake-dating tale between two frenemies that turn into roommates, coworkers, and, ultimately, lovers. Fans of close proximity, one-bed trope, and blue-collar, small-town heroes will fall madly in love with this story.

 

About the Author:

USA Today Bestselling author, Adriana Locke, writes contemporary romances about the two things she knows best—big families and small towns. Her stories are about ordinary people finding extraordinary love with the perfect combination of heart, heat, and humor.

She loves connecting with readers, fall weather, football, reading alpha heroes, everything pumpkin, and pretending to garden.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Tempting Little Thief by Meagan Brandy

TEMPTING LITTLE THIEF

Meagan Brandy

Release Date: June 1

 

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Meagan Brandy comes a steamy forbidden romance featuring a possessive hero … who falls first and will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

Bastian Bishop. That’s his name.

He’s rough, rugged, and utterly unpredictable.

He’s not cautious or contemplative. He’s a volcano. Silent and steady one second, and a nightmare in the next.

But that’s not the worst of it.

This guy? He’s an outsider and in my world outsiders don’t belong.

They’re unwanted, unwelcome and known to disappear without a trace; yet he doesn’t seem to care.

After one night of reckless rebellion, the tattooed tyrant keeps coming back, sneaking into my world without permission, and causing trouble I can’t allow.

I should end this now before my father discovers his existence and does it for me, but he won’t allow it.

He says, like it or not … I am his now, that nothing and no one will stand in his way.

What he refuses to understand is I’m a Girl of Greyson, a coveted queen of sorts in the underground crime world.

He’s a nobody, an insignificant man with nothing to his name, marking him a threat to my own.

We could never be, but he won’t hear it.

And me? I know exactly how this ends.

Or so I thought I did, until betrayal burns so deep that suddenly nothing makes sense.

Nothing but him…

“There’s a fire in her eyes that speaks to the devil buried in the mine, and he wants to play.”

This is just a small insight into Bastian Bishop’s mind. And oh what a mind it is to be trapped in.

Tempting Little Thief is Bastian Bishop’s story. I only read two books in the Brayshaw High series and I can with absolute certainty state that you can read this book with zero knowledge of that series. And if you never read any other book by Meagan because the Brayshaw series didn’t do it for you, I HIGHLY encourage you to give her another try with this one.

TLT is the start of her new series, Girls of Greyson, and is her best writing to date. I have read other standalone books by Meagan and I have enjoyed watching her writing grow with each release. But TLT is definitely Meagan at her best.

“But today’s truth often becomes tomorrow’s lie, almost always by accident.”

This story is very fast-paced, filled with drama and some great twists mixed in. It was thrilling to watch Bastian and Rocklin go from lust to love and their relationship build as the story unfolds. They are complete opposites in so many ways but also alike in many. I love the tit for tat between them – their banter just added to the chemistry between and helped solidify that strong foundation they needed.

There are a few areas where I felt things got a bit too unreal and felt a bit over the top (for me). However, those were very few and didn’t detract or stop me from reading.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed these characters and their story. I cannot wait to see what Meagan brings us next in this series.

💜💜💜ADD The Sixteenth Need to your TBR: https://bit.ly/TSNCaliaRead_TBR

It’s been a bit since I have read a book by Calia Read and I am pondering why that is.

The Sixteenth Need was so much more than a second chance romance. This story has so much depth to it, I don’t even know where to start.

Calia creates characters that have so many layers to them and you just can’t help but love them.

We meet the Cole sisters – Sable, Alba, Marren and Lennon. The Sixteenth Need focuses mostly on Sable and her second chance romance with Samson, but I absolutely love how perfect Calia weaves everyone into this story.

This story is told from both past and present and from Sable and Samson’s POV. I enjoyed watching these two grow in so many ways and learning about one another as their story progresses. It is a slow burn, but it absolutely so worth it.

Calia builds the perfect anticipation with every aspect to this story. It all flows seamlessly and comes together beautifully.

I purposely left out all details because this story needs to be read without any knowledge, just like I read it. I promise you won’t regret picking this one up.

Release Day Blitz & Review…How UTo Win The Girl by Sara Ney

HOW TO WIN THE GIRL

Sara Ney

Release Date: May 24

FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

 

 

I, Drake Colter, solemnly swear I do not want a girlfriend…

 

Carefree and ridiculously good-looking, I have the entire student body eating from the palm of

my hand—shouldn’t I let the ladies on campus have their fill rather than being tied down?

If only my brother Drew would take notes from my playbook. As identical twins, we share the

same voice, the same face, and the same physique; it’s virtually impossible to tell us apart—but

that’s where the similarities end.

 

Lately, my brother has been whining about wanting to settle down with. He longs for affection,

companionship and all the bullshit that goes along with it blah blah blah.

Problem is, he’s hopeless when it comes to dating. It’s seriously embarrassing to watch,

considering we’re identical; everyone thinks I’m him and everyone thinks he’s me.

 

Luckily I’m not intimidated by woman and have plenty of experience. I might not want to find

myself a girlfriend, but that don’t mean I can’t help him. Dude never needs to know!

 

And that’s the very thing that lands me in trouble…
