Release Day Blitz & Review…My Heart Still Beats by Helen Hardt

Every moment with him unshackles a little more of my fears, cracks another layer of ice.

My Heart Still Beats, an all-new must read, emotional, dark romance from New York Times bestselling author Helen Hardt is now available!

Some days I can almost see the person I used to be. See the version of myself that felt joy, even passion. But she’s gone…just out of reach.

Life moves on for everyone else, though, and as my best friend’s maid-of-honor, I have a bachelorette party to plan—in Jamaica, no less. And that means working side by side with the best man: Benjamin Black.

Billionaire. Workaholic. Ultimate bachelor. The perfect catch for any woman—unless she’s lost her sense of self.

Apparently my body hasn’t gotten the memo. Because from the second we meet, something begins stirring, warming my blood.

And when our hands touch, it’s a heady reminder that even if I feel numb, my heart still beats.

He’s nothing like I thought. Every moment with him unshackles a little more of my fears, cracks another layer of ice.

But I should be afraid—and so should he. Because the past never lets go so easily.

I will be quick with this one because well, I don’t have too much to say on this one.

My Heart Still Beats was right down the middle for me. With the trigger warning, I was expecting it be darker, and while for some this will be triggering, for me, it was just down the middle.

This book is perfect for those wanting to dip their toes into dark, emotional romance. There isn’t alot of depth to the darkness (sort of closed-door) that gives you and idea but never very detailed. Alot of this book is very surface level, never getting too descriptive. And for many, that’s what they want.

Helen definitely focused more on Tessa than Ben and I think that may hurt this story a bit. The plot was ok, but definitely had the potential to be more. The ending was probably the best part but still felt rushed.

Overall, it was right down the middle for me. But again, I think those looking to try out a darkish romance would enjoy this one.

OMG!!! THIS BOOK!!!!

I could not put this book down and I did not want to. I have read many sweet and swoony stories by Ms. Allen but this romantic suspense and mystery has topped all her other books for me.

I want to say so much but won’t because this story needs to be experienced without any knowledge (minus the blurb). Hell, going in blind, like myself, was perfection.

Ms. Allen truly knows how to write a story line that is multi-layered and keeps you guessing the whole time but also has you loving the blend of romance sprinkled in. And her characters – OMG! They are perfection and I could not get enough of them.

My review is purposely very limited because I am so afraid that I am going to spoil something. Plus, I am still reeling from this one and just absolutely love how this story unfolded. K.K. blended the mystery and suspense with the romance beautifully and it was just sheer perfection.

Firefly Effect was everything I needed and didn’t know it. K.K. delivers a story that you won’t be able to put down once you start and will stay with you long after you finish.

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

The Problem with Players by Brittainy Cherry is now live! 

As a female coach, I’ve always lived by a simple mantra: throw hard, swing for the fences, and never, ever look back—especially when it comes to past flames.

So when my ex-boyfriend somehow manages to land the job as my new assistant coach, my life is flipped upside down. The game I thought I’d mastered is now being played with a whole new set of rules.

My ex is baseball’s all-star Nathan Pierce. He’s tall, dark, and undeniably handsome. He’s also all too eager to spend extra hours working together while flashing that familiar devilish smirk of his that still sends my heart racing.

Between playful teasing and lingering stares I discover that Nathan isn’t just here to work. He’s here to rewrite history. Our history.

And when fate throws another curveball that involves me needing a place to stay, Nathan offers me his spare bedroom which sends me spiraling into emotions I believed had long since faded.

Now I’m faced with the ultimate decision: keep it professional and continue fleeing from our past, or confront it head-on by playing the game he thinks we were meant to finish together.

4.5 Stars

Brittainy has delivered a smooth, slow burn that has the perfect balance of angst and humor in The Problems with Players. And let me tell you that once these two decide to make a go of things, that slow burn becomes an inferno!

Readers will absolutely love Nathan. He’s not only supportive and so sweet, but he refuses to give up on Avery. However, Avery will be a reader favorite as so many will be able to relate to her in so many different ways.

I love how this story unfolded. While I am not a fan of the third-act breakups, Brittainy handled this well and made it worthwhile for me.

Overall, The Problem with Players is a perfect romance read with a little bit of angst and humor to keep the book entertaining for all.

Release Day Blitz & Review…When Lies Unfold by RC Boldt

When Lies Unfold by RC Boldt is now live! 

USA Today bestselling author RC Boldt delivers a seductive new romantic suspense filled with twists in WHEN LIES UNFOLD…

The moment I witness a murder, my quiet, careful existence goes up in smoke. I’m thrust into the world of Santiago Hernández, Central America’s most ruthless cartel leader.

In exchange for my life, I’m placed under his watchful eye. Day in and day out, he waits for me to betray my promise of silence.

The longer I stay in his world, the deeper I fall for the glimpses of the man beneath that handsome yet cunning exterior. The man whose possessive touch ignites a long-lost part of me.

But I should know better than to open my heart to a cold-blooded criminal with a laundry list of deadly sins and secrets. Especially when he has no idea who I really am.

Because when the lies unfold, he’ll discover I have a list of sins and secrets of my own.

ALL. THE. STARS!!!!!!!

Where Lies Unfold is my first book by RC, but definitely not my last. If you can bring me to my knees, and make me ugly cry in a Mafia Romance, you get my utmost devotion to your writing. This book was EVERYTHING I love about mafia romance.

“Yes, you will rise from the ashes, but the burning comes first. For this part, darling, you must be brave.” – Kalen Dion

RC delivers a FMC that is unrivaled in so many ways; Lola has no qualms with standing her ground and her instincts never lead her astray. Santiago might be the formidable, but Lola has faced worse in her life and still came out alive.

“If you erase all the mistakes of your past, you would also erase all the wisdom of your present. Remember the lesson, not the disappointment.” – Unknown

This story was written flawlessly. The pacing and the flow of how everything unfolded was perfect. I love that each scene unraveled into the next scene seamlessly and as twists and turns were revealed, all the pieces just merged beautifully.

RC does a magnificent job of blending the suspense, the action, the romance and spicy scenes while still telling the story and never pulling away from any of it. Not once did I feel a lull in the story or that RC was purposely adding fillers to add pages to the book. Everything in this story is pertinent in one way or another.

The one thing that surprised more than anything with this story was how I felt these characters emotions rolling off the pages. I could feel their anguish, their hatred, their hurt, their devotion – that is not something I can usually pull from a mafia story. I’m usually hyped up from all the action and suspense and even keyed up from spicy scenes, but physically crying (chapter 41 had me walking away from kindle), completely unexpected and it made me appreciate this author’s writing so much more.

“Everyone has to deal with traumatic experiences. But if you let it define you, you’ve lost the battle entirely. Instead, use it as fuel to rise higher and to better yourself the way YOU want.” – Lola Hernandez (When Lies Unfold)

Release Day Blitz & Review…Love Hard: A Memoir by Monica James

 

 
 
Title: Love Hard
A Memoir
Author: Monica James
Genre: Creative Non-Fiction
Release Date: May 15, 2024
 
 
BLURB
If love is an addiction, your first love is the first hit.

 

 
How many of you remember your first love?
 
Because falling in love for the first time…I remember that. And that’s the thing about your first love—we all have a love story.
 
But this isn’t a love story.
This is a life story.
The good.
The bad.
The heartache.
It’s all here.
 
Love is truly a battlefield…
 
Love is scary, and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. When you love someone wholeheartedly, you leave yourself open to being destroyed…and that’s what I did, what I still do even though I know better.
 
But it doesn’t make a difference.
 
The best kind of love doesn’t make sense. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.
 
This one-in-a-million story is mine, and if you take anything away from this book, it would be to never be afraid to love.
 
So, let me introduce myself. You may call me Z.
Buckle up, besties, because this will be a bumpy ride.
 
Love hits you when you least expect it.
 
Are you ready for the fall?

PLAYLIST
 

“Never rely on a man to make you happy because they come and go, but you have to live with yourself until the day you die. Never forget who you are.”

Love Hard is most beautifully chaotic and messy stories I have read and couldn’t love it more, if I tired.

“Love messy. Love Long. Love spontaneously. Love without regret. But most of all, love hard. Because most things come and go, but love, love stays.”

Monica delivers a very insightful creative work of nonfiction, yet fictionalized memoir. I could honestly feel the emotions of Z through each chapter. I love her for everything she has been through and yet continues to believe in love.

Love Hard is like nothing I have read before and I love this story even more because of that. It is raw, real and authentic. It’s love; it’s life.

“Love hits when you leave expect it…are you ready for the fall?”

Release Day Blitz & Review…So Wrong by Abby Millsaps

So Wrong by Abby Millsaps is now live! 

No wrong moves.

Those were the words the first boy I ever loved whispered in my ear on graduation weekend.

Naively, I believed him. Now those three little words feel like a bad omen I can’t escape.

Every move I’ve made since I returned to South Chapel hurts my ex-boyfriend, Greedy. But it’s for his benefit. That’s what I tell myself. Intentionally hurting him is for the best.

It has to be. I said goodbye to the possibility of forever with him the moment my mom and his dad “introduced us” at their engagement dinner.

Three years have passed, but that doesn’t matter to Greedy. He’s hell-bent on making sure I remember it all.

On my darkest nights, the memories win. Since his bedroom is just two doors down, he’s the anchor I seek when it all feels like too much.

But now Greedy’s best friend is back in town, and he and I are “dating” to get his meddling mother off his back. Not only is Levi my new fake boyfriend, but he’s also our new roommate, too.

No wrong moves, Greedy assured me years ago.

What if there are no right moves either?

So Wrong is the first book in the Boys of South Chapel series. It is a steamy second chance, why choose romance. A full list of tropes and triggers can be found on the author’s website.

So Wrong is the first book in Abby’s newest series, Boys of South Chapel. It’s also the first book I have read by this author and she definitely earned herself another reader.

This book starts off in the present but as the story progresses, we are given glimpses of the past that help explain how they end up where they are in the present.

I love how the story plays out as it keeps readers intrigued and turning the pages. There isn’t alot of growth in the characters, even though three years has passed between the past and present and while that doesn’t hurt the story, I expected some maturity from them.

Overall, I am captivated by the story telling and the characters. Abby leaves readers on quite the cliffy, but thankfully we don’t have to wait long for the second book.

Abby met her husband at a house party the summer before her freshman year of college. He had a secret pizza stashed in the trunk of his car that he was saving for a midnight snack–how was she supposed to resist that level of golden retriever energy and preparedness?

Mistakes and secrets.

My life is littered with them. 

And it’s not always me who pays the price.

My heart is an impenetrable fortress now, and my only pleasure comes from anonymous encounters in the private dungeon of a club where I unleash my inner beast.

Years have passed, but my thirst for vengeance never dies.

I’ll tear the world apart to find the answers I seek.

Including the woman who took a wrecking ball to my heart.

Keep reading for a look inside Drew!

“Where are we going?” Charlie asks from the passenger seat of my SUV as I turn off the road and drive through the open gates of the private entrance that leads to the old, abandoned hotel situated thirteen miles from Rydeville.

“You wanted to know, and the best way is to show you,” I supply as my cell pings with an incoming call. I press the button to accept Blackwood’s return call. “About damn time,” I growl.

“You’re not my only client.” His voice rings out through the car speakers.

“I’m the only client that matters.”

“Your arrogance never fails to astound me,” he replies in a droll tone.

“You’re not the first person to tell me that today,” I admit, and Charlie snorts. Silence descends for a few beats. “It’s okay,” I tell my contact. “Barron is with me, and he’s about to find out everything.”

“Good. That’s good. It’s long overdue.”

“Don’t have a clue who you are, but you talk sense,” Charlie says as I navigate along the bumpy driveway, maneuvering around potholes and bits of the old fence that litter our way.

“Ezra is my PI and personal hacker,” I explain, turning the windshield wipers on as the heavens open, tipping sheets of rain from the sky.

“I want to be there when you tell Daniels, Hunt, and Anderson.” Charlie chuckles.

“They will never know,” I say in a clipped tone, casting a quick glance at my buddy. “You promised you’d keep this confidential.”

“And I will.”

“I mean it, Charlie. I’m not dragging anyone else into this. It’s too dangerous.” I take a sharp left at the end of the bumpy road, driving more smoothly along the tree-lined lower part of the driveway now we’re on asphalt.

“I don’t agree, but I gave you my word. I won’t say anything to the others. The only people who will know are me and Demi.”

Charlie has changed so much. There was a time he was as secretive and stubborn as me. I’m still shocked he tells his wife everything.

I wonder what it’d be like to not have to hold anything back. To have someone accept you and love you completely knowing every dark broken part of you.

Talk about an unpredictable and explosive finale to this series!!!

I have to give Siobhan all the applause and kudos for writing not only an exceptional series, but one that has kept readers right at the edge of their seats through every single book.

Drew is the final book in this series, but should not be read as standalone. There are too many references to things in other books, and to fully grasp the enormity of everything that happens, previous books must be read to fully appreciate Drew.

I honestly don’t know what to say without spoiling every damn thing and I refuse to do that. But I will say that Siobhan executed this story (and the series ending) perfectly.

Like every other book in this series, there is no shortage of twists, turns, action, suspense and being put through a rollercoaster of emotions. And not one scene or shocking revelation was similar or remotely close to things in other books. I am one who can usually figure out the twists in books, but Siobhan definitely had my mouth gapping open in shock with this one.

Siobhan truly knows how to bring a series to a close, all the while still delivering one hell of powerful story surrounding Drew. It’s everything I love about Siobhan and her writing and nothing you will ever anticipate.

Once upon a time, I thought I’d found my happy ever after. Until she ruined it all.

I’d been on the hunt for four long years, and I finally found her.

I planned the perfect revenge. Kidnapping Rapsody on the day she was set to marry another man and forcing her to face my wrath while trapped in the confines of my family’s gothic manor.

Despite my desire to punish her, there is still an undeniable pull between us. But as the walls of the manor close in around us, we both have to confront the truth. Can we trust each other, or will my dark past consume us both?

SHATTERED VOWS is a dark contemporary romance that weaves together the themes of desire and redemption and is a Rapunzel reimagining with the following tropes: age gap, anti-hero, gothic romance, secret society, forced proximity, opposites attract, enemies to lovers, morality chain, billionaire, and second chance.

Shattered Vows is the second book in the Midnight Manor series. It can be read as a standalone but you will want to read the first one after reading this, if you haven’t yet.

I love this fairy-tale retelling of Rapunzel. These two authors truly know how to take reimagine a fairytale in today’s modern world and make it very intruiging.

Shattered Vows is Kol and Rapsody’s story. They met many years ago but had an abrupt ending far too quickly. Now that Kol has found her once again, he doesn’t want to give her up as quickly.

I really enjoyed how this story unfolded and all the ins and outs that took place. It’s not as cut and dry as one thinks with a fairytale retelling; there are quite a few surprising twists that keep this entire story enthralling.

I am absolutely loving these stories and cannot wait for the next one!!

Release Day Blitz & Review…I Thought of. You by Jewel E. Ann

I Thought of You by Jewel E. Ann is now live! 

I wanted to conquer the world.

She wanted to gaze at the stars.

It’s been twelve years since I last saw Scottie Rucker. A grim prognosis has upended my life, and no amount of my hard-earned money can fix it. So, after leaving a note on the nightstand, I search for my first love—I search for life.

When I find her in Austin, working at a quaint general store and living in an RV behind it, those twelve years vanish. She’s exactly how I remember her.

Scottie thinks our reunion is a small-world coincidence, and I’m not ready to tell her the truth. After we rekindle our friendship, she convinces me to work part-time at the store while she pursues her budding relationship with Koen, a welder and the grandson of a customer.

Scottie’s ability to live in the moment is exactly what I need. But how do I convince her new boyfriend that I’m not his competition? And what happens if my heart changes its mind?

This book was so incredibly good on so many levels. It’s so much more than a love story.

Jewel is one of those authors whose writing just captivates readers. Her characters have so much depth that come alive while you are reading. Her writing style just pulls you in and you feel so much; you have compassion and understand for her characters.

I absolutely loved these characters, together and individually. I won’t get into specifics but this story made me appreciate life in so many aspects. And that’s what I love about Jewel’s books; I always find myself appreciate something more after finishing one of her stories.

I Thought Of You is such a meaningful and sincere story that’s more than just about romance and readers will appreciate that.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Their Last Resort by R.S. Grey

Their Last Resort by R.S. Grey is now live!

Biting banter is all they know. But messy feelings have a way of coming to the surface in this beachside romance from USA Today bestselling author R.S. Grey.

Paige Young and Cole Clark are polar opposites. A world traveler since birth, Paige loves to lead activities for guests at a luxury island resort in Turks and Caicos. From bingo nights to cliffside hikes, Paige is up for anything. Cole, meanwhile, prefers his number-crunching desk job. He’s the assistant director at the resort—stiff and meticulous. He’s so by the book that he keeps the book. In his desk drawer.

They’re perfectly aligned in one way, though—their ability to drive each other crazy. Every day brings a fresh battle of wits. They’re rivals, archnemeses…and they’re definitely never going to talk about that one time they kissed. Ha ha. Nope!

But when Paige finds out that Cole has been ordered to fire her on the same day a hurricane threatens their little slice of paradise, it’s clear the game is over.

At odds, in peril, and forced to shelter in place together, these two enemies might finally have to confront their true feelings. (You know, the ones hidden under all those withering looks.)

This was a right down the middle read for me.

The plot was cute but felt slightly disjointed in areas. I enjoyed it but this didn’t flow like other previous Grey books.

The characters were enjoyable but felt very cookie-cutter and similar Grey’s previous characters.

Their Last Resort was enjoyable. And while it wasn’t one of my favorites, I know others will possibly enjoy it more.
