Release Day Blitz…The Hustler Next Door by K.A. Tucker

He fooled the wrong woman.

The Hustler Next Door by K.A. Tucker is now live!

From the international bestselling author of The Simple Wild and Ten Tiny Breaths comes a new stand-alone enemies-to-lovers, small-town romance.

Justine MacDermott is in what she would call a transition period: squatting in her best friend’s house and working in an appliance store in Polson Falls while the man she was supposed to marry starts a new life with someone else.

She’s definitely not thinking about slashing his tires and wishing his vital extremities would fall off.

When newcomer Garrett Harrington strolls into Murphy’s Appliances looking to buy a refrigerator, Justine convinces herself she’s found her rebound. Or the next love of her life. Either works. But a chance encounter leads her to discover that Garrett isn’t who he made himself out to be, and he’s more interested in hustling her kindly old boss out of his family business—and using her to do it.

Furious at being fooled by yet another man and itching for retribution, Justine enlists the help of unlikely townsfolk to battle Harrington Group’s big-city development plans for Polson Falls.

It’s all going to plan … until Justine finds herself crossing enemy lines.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Dirty Crazy Bad Two by Siobhan Davis

In the secret society of The Luminaries, no sin will go unpunished…

Dirty Crazy Bad 2, the addictive and jaw-dropping conclusion to the dark reverse-harem Dirty Crazy Bad Duet from USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Siobhan Davis is live now!

The Greed & Gluttony Luminary has trapped us into executing his evil plans, and it seems we have little option but to agree. Carter has orchestrated Chad’s kidnapping, and he holds my mom’s life in his hands.

Then he drops a game-changer

We must play our parts—or at least look like we are—because the fate of our loved ones, and the world at large, depends upon it. There is no choice.

It’s a delicate balancing act, with many obstacles and no guarantee of success. Carter has spent years planning his takeover and knowing who to trust is impossible.

Teamwork is the only way we can defeat him. But that is challenging when relationships are fractured, the guys are sworn enemies, and loyalties have been pushed to their limits.

It’s up to me to make this work, so I will push my grief aside to be there for Ares, Jase, and Chad.

Rhett Carter cannot become Lord of the Luminaries and we’re the only ones that can stop him.

Release Day Blitz & Review…The Holly Dates by Brittainy Cherry

The Holly Dates by Brittainy Cherry is now live!

All she wanted for Christmas was a boyfriend for the holidays…
All he wanted was for her to take her crappy first dates elsewhere…

Quirky Holly Jackson was unlucky in love, yet her romantic heart refused to give up her search for companionship—even after her fiancé left her at the altar on Christmas Eve.

Grumpy restaurant owner Kai Kane wanted nothing to do with love after his last relationship. Unfortunately for him, when an eccentric Holly kept entering his restaurant nightly with a different first date, his annoyance grew.

When Kai volunteered to help Holly find a suitor it was for one reason only: to get her out of his restaurant and on to a second date with someone at a different location.

Once Kai became Holly’s dating coach, her confidence grew.

It was all going great until Kai became increasingly jealous of the connection Holly developed with another man. The more Holly fell for Kai’s pick for her, the more overprotective he became.

Kai quickly realized that all wasn’t fair when it came to love and the holidays.

He was going to have to step up his game if he wanted a shot at the ultimate prize—being Holly’s favorite date.

*The Holly Dates is a steamy, full-length romantic comedy that will put you right in the holiday spirit.*

I have never been one to read holiday books but I lost count of how many I have read so far this holiday season and each one has been really enjoyable.

The Holly Dates is a cute and funny holiday romance. I breezed through this one quickly and enjoyed each moment of it. I found myself laughing out loud a lot and really enjoying the sweet, romantic moments.

Holly and Kai made me laugh and smile so much. I enjoyed watching their story go from enemies, to friends to more so. One thing that makes their love story so enjoyable is it’s based so much on them loving who the other person is and not just the physical attraction (though, that was hot too!).

This book is a great holiday romance – it has the festive aspect with lots of laughter and romance added in to deliver a great story.

Release Blitz & Review…A Wonderful Lie by Carrie Aarons

A Wonderful Lie by Carrie Aarons is now live!

Everyone lies around the holidays. We lie about the money we’re spending. We lie that we’re following our diets.

What am I lying about this year? The fact that my workplace nemesis has become my friend-with-benefits.

Collin Machlan and I have been each other’s competition since we joined our college’s radio station freshman year. Six years later, we’re both hosting shows for the country’s most popular podcast network.

Just as everything starts turning red and green, our boss announces a promotion, and whoever gets the most listens during this merry season will be crowned the winner.

There is just one catch; the only way to draw an audience in December is to theme every episode around Christmas. For a woman who typically celebrates alone with takeout and slasher flicks, I’m at a big disadvantage.

Going toe-to-toe with the guy I’ve never been able to intimidate is only made harder by the fact that Collin doesn’t seem to want to play our usual games. Add in some mistletoe and a Secret Santa swap, and I finally give in to his shameless flirting.

Maybe it’s the delusion of cuffing season, but suddenly I’m spending every night with him. No one at work knows. Neither does his family, or my friends. I lie that it’s just physical. That me, a self-proclaimed bachelorette, couldn’t possibly be on the brink of a relationship. I lie that we’re still competing for a job he doesn’t even want.

Until one too many lies threatens to topple my life like a crooked tree with poorly-distributed ornaments. And I’m left to decide between my lonely and blue traditions, or a love that lasts all year round.

Looking for a “Hallmark after dark” romance read??? Or even if you’re not, you definitely want to grab this one!

I absolutely loved Collin & Lark. Lark has hated Collin since the moment they met. They’re been sworn enemies from the very beginning, even though Collin has always found Lark extremely attractive.

Their snarky, yet hilarious jabs at one another just add fuel to the already raging chemistry between them. And now they find themselves truly competing against one another for the top spot in podcasts.

Carrie’s newest release is so magical!! It’s the perfect blend of holiday cheer, great humorous moments & that amazing swoon-worthy romance she always bring to her stories, but just a tad spicier!!!

GRAB IT NOW!!

Release Day Blitz & Review…Playing Hard to Get by Monica Murphy

Playing Hard to Get by Monica Murphy is now live!

Knox Maguire is the king of our college campus.

Star offensive tight end on the football team.

He is the complete opposite of me in every way.

I’m quiet. He’s loud.

I’m shy. He’s definitely not.

Everyone loves him. No one knows me.

Fresh out of a breakup, I don’t really trust him, and why should I? Knox is the ultimate player. When I become his English tutor, I tell myself we need to keep things between us strictly business. Watching my mother deal with my ex-athlete father long, long ago taught me to stay far away from that type of man.

Yet Knox is impossible to resist. Next thing I know, we’re getting hot and heavy in the library—and that was never part of the plan. When Knox admits he can’t stop thinking about me, I have a realization.

I can’t stop thinking about him either.

Instead of keeping my distance, I pull him in closer. Until somehow, we’re spending all of our time together and I find myself falling for Knox. Hard.

Will this actually work between us? Or am I getting played?

Playing Hard to Get is the first book in Monica’s next series, The Players.

This is a spin-off from her other series but you need no prior knowledge to start this series. Knox Maguire is the so of Owen (Four Years Later) and seems to be following in his dad’s footsteps.

Knox is in his final year of college and not only does he need to stay at the top of his game with football, this is also his toughest year in college with his class-load. So he chooses to focus less on the player lifestyle, choosing to be celibate in hopes it’ll help him focus on his courses. Knox knows that he has his struggles with schooling and finally comes to realization that he is going to need a tutor so he doesn’t fail.

Joanna Sutton is one of the few tutors that works with students who have learning disabilities and excels at helping them overcome their obstacles. Joanna has recently come off of a long-term, long-distance relationship and has no interest in any sort of relationship right now.

I absolutely adored how Joanna and Knox’s whole relationship came to me. It is a slow-burn but so worth it once they decided to take the leap. The chemistry is off the charts with these two and it never slows down once they’re together.

Monica wrote a very sweet, sugary story that has zero drama in it. There isn’t a lot of the typical college drama and I love that she has these characters stay true to themselves and not doing something out of character just to create unnecessary drama. One thing I wanted more of was the family dynamic on Joanna’s side but it does not take away from the overall story.

A great start to a new series!!

Release Day Blitz & Review…Ruthless Reign by Aleatha Romig

Release Date: November 22

I have a secret. I’m not who you think.

In this world, where gowns, castles, and crowns make for the perfect reflections, life isn’t always as it appears. Love is elusive, even when the most beautiful woman is right before you. Illusions distort visions, shadows lurk in the sunshine, and monsters tread behind smiles and chivalrous facades.

I, Roman Archibald Godfrey, swore an oath to Molave.

To the king.

And above all, to Princess Lucille.

Forget the fairytales you’ve heard. This world is ruthless.

Have you been Aleatha’d?

From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a brand-new contemporary romantic-suspense series, Royal Reflections, set in the world of the royal elite, where things are not as they appear.

Aleatha does it again!!! 5++++++ Stars!!

Just when I think I can guess what Aleatha is going to bring us – she does nothing like I expect!!

Ruthless Reign is the start of Aleatha’s newest series and it’s definitely unlike anything I have read before.

Aleatha is known for her twists and suspense in her books, but now we add in secrets and who’s loyal to whom and who’s a traitor amongst them all.

Added amongst that suspense is one of the most passionate and extreme slow-burn romances I’ve ever read and that just adds to appeal and intrigue of this book.

Princess Lucille and Roman Godfrey’s marriage is one that has two very different sides. Roman isn’t who the people think he is and only Lucille knows the real him. When Oliver enters the picture, he adds another layer to this intriguing story and creating a very complicated relationship between him and Lucille.

Ruthless Reign was so unexpected and I loved every bit of this story. I read this book in hours; I could not put it down once I started it. And that ending!!

Definitely pick this one up and see why we all love Aleatha and her phenomenal books.

Release Day Blitz & Review…This Woman by Jodi Ellen Malpas

This Woman by Jodi Ellen Malpas is now live!

Jesse Ward has stumbled through life drinking and indulging himself within the rooms of his high-class sex club, The Manor, numbing himself to the pain, grief, and guilt of his wrongs. Pleasure and alcohol are his medicine. Hedonism is all he knows.

It’s how he copes.

How he survives.

Until Ava O’Shea strolls into his office and knocks him back with her breathtaking beauty, ambition, and drive. It only takes one look into her eyes, one touch of her skin, and one word murmured, before his heart is kick-started, offering him something he never thought possible. A distraction from his daily torment. A semblance of peace.

Women never reject Jesse Ward. They fall at his feet, melt from his charismatic, devious smile, and obey his every salacious command. All except the one woman who unwittingly becomes his obsession and the only thing that can keep him from the brink of self-destruction.

He needs Ava and will do anything to have her.

Even hide every last skeleton in his large closet.

Because the truth could destroy them both.

I am probably one of the very few readers of Jodi’s that did not read the This Man series (please do not come at me – I know, I know!) Anyway – not having any iota aside from the blurbs of each book in that trilogy, I was able to read This Woman easily and without any knowledge of who Jesse was.

And honestly – I actually prefer having read his viewpoint first because it was the quite the explosive read.

Jesse has drowned his regrets and sorrows in booze and women for quite some time. It’s how he copes with this life. And then in walks Ava. She’s everything he wants and desires. And she wants nothing to do with him.

This Woman is completely told from Jesse’s POV and I absolutely loved it. It showed how deep a man is willing to go for the woman he cannot escape and doesn’t want to let go. Jesse’s inner monologue was quite entertaining and a great addition to this story.

Jodi does a phenomenal job of giving Jesse’s character a lot of depth which allows readers to get a more authentic and real sense of the man he is. There was alot of chemistry between the two of them and I loved how Ava kept things on this rollercoaster of emotions by trying not to fall for him.

An explosive read, indeed.

After reading this, it has me wanting to go and read the full series of this Man and reading everything from Ava’s POV now.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Forbidden French by R.S. Grey

FORBIDDEN FRENCH by R.S. Grey is coming November 10th and we’re so excited to be sharing the gorgeous cover reveal!

Title: Forbidden French

Author: R.S. Grey

Genre: Contemporary Romance

About Forbidden French:

Once upon a time, Emmett Mercier was the golden boy of St. John’s Boarding School. The crown prince of his father’s vast business empire, unapologetically attractive…oh, and fluent in French.

At school, I kept a picture of him hidden beneath my pillow, a tiny token of my adolescent infatuation, but I might as well have been worshiping a distant demigod. He was hardly aware of my existence. I was far too young, and he was far too consequential—until one day we found ourselves alone together in the dark library and struck up a friendship…of sorts.

But in the years since leaving St. John’s, I’ve no longer bothered yearning for Emmett. What a useless dream. I would have gone crazy trying to keep up with his jet-setting life. Which Parisian hotel is he calling home now? Is there some new lithe model draping herself across his lap today?

My negligence comes back to bite me. I’m ill-prepared the day he strides into my art gallery. There’s only a mere trace of the boy I once knew. Self-assured, handsome, intoxicating—Emmett is more man than I can handle.

There’s no room for him in my gilded cage. My life is planned to a T. From where I go to how I dress, it all depends on the calculated whims of my grandmother. Soon, I’ll even dutifully walk down the aisle toward a man of her choosing.

Emmett can’t stand my obedience. Now that we’ve rekindled our friendship, he’s intent on unearthing my heart’s true motives.

And therein lies the problem: I was doing just fine without him, but now that he’s rattling the bars of my cage, I’m forced to acknowledge the truth.

Once upon a time, Emmett Mercier was all I wanted. The midnight wanderings, the whispered nothings, the unbearable longing—they etched indelible marks on my soul. Even now, after all these years, my heart is only fluent in one language.

Forbidden French.

Excerpt

“Close your eyes.”
She arches a brow but thankfully does what she’s told—for once.
Ignoring every inch of my protesting body, I limp toward the lake’s edge because something amazing is about to happen. The sky lights up with thousands of lights, and it’s fucking beautiful.
Cupping my hands gently, I smile and hobble back over to Darcie.
Dropping to my knees before her, I say, “Open your eyes.”
When she does, she meets mine, then looks at my cupped palms. I open them, and her reaction is worth almost toppling over in pain.
“Oh my God,” she cries, steepling her fingertips over her mouth. “I thought they only came out during the summer.”
“Not all of them.”
We both watch as the firefly I caught lights up the space between us. It hovers between us, not appearing to be in any hurry to join its many friends.
“It’s beautiful,” Darcie says, her eyes glued to the firefly, and I know she sees the beauty in something so simple as well.
No matter what we’ve done, no matter what we do, we’re just a couple of misfits trying our best to survive.
I hook my thumb over my shoulder, and as the moon comes out of hiding, so do the thousands of fireflies, lighting up the night sky.
“Rev,” she gushes, coming to a stand and running toward the lake’s edge, her arms spread out wide like she too wishes she could light up the darkness. But little does she know, she lights up mine every single day.
Our little friend flies away, knowing his job here is done.
I join Darcie, standing by her side as we silently peer into the sky littered with fireflies. She reaches down and loops her fingers through mine. The fireflies soon pale compared to the fire burning between us.
As usual, the world fades into the background until it’s just Darcie and me.
“Thank you for bringing me here,” she says in an almost whisper. “It’s my first date.”
“Sorry I bled through half of it.”
She smiles, and the sight takes my breath away.
“Why do they light up like that?”
“Because of a chemical reaction caused by the organic compound, luciferin, in their abdomens,” I reply without thought.
“Luciferin,” she repeats softly. “Sounds kind of diabolical, which is ironic, considering it relates to something so beautiful.”
I can’t help but compare her analogy to herself—Darcie is kind of diabolical, but she is the most beautiful girl in the world.
I’ve always hated the word love. It gets thrown around so easily, losing its meaning. But luciferin, now that is a unique word. And this right now, this feels something like luciferin.

“Two broken misfits have somehow learned to become a little less broken by finding one another.”

WHAT IN THE EVER LOVING FUCK DID I JUST READ?!?!

First and foremost, this book has ALOT of triggers. With a that being said, let the games begin…

This book is about us fucked up as one could get. It’s dark, full of gore and macabre weaved into a twisted plot that runs deep.

This book is a lot to digest and is definitely in its own niche. However, if you can handle true dark reads, this book is for you.

“…we’re just a couple of misfits trying our best to survive.”

Monica and Michelle promised their best and they delivered on that and then some.

Down the rabbit hole we go…indeed.

It’s been over a decade since Paige has been in any contact with Adrian. And now he’s crashing into world in ever way – work and personal. But is she truly ready to let him back in just like that??

Adrian definitely has his work cut out for him. He knows he did her dirty over a decade ago, but it had to be done. And now he has even more reason to force himself back into her life and force he does.

Adrian is an alpha in every way and it was one of the many things Paige used to love about him. But now she just wants to do her job and for him to uphold to his part of the contract. Nothing is very that simple, especially when two individuals have a very passionate past and a fiery attraction that is easily combustible.

I absolutely loved the tension and angst in this story. The suspense was a nice added touch even though I felt the ending was a bit lackluster.

Overall, a great story and perfect addition to this series.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Aveke by Tijan

Aveke by Tijan is now live!

I watched him in high school. Knew his reputation. Knew he was wealthy, privileged, and mean.
He ran the show back then, a partier and a player.
Then he came back from college, back to the town I never left. He’s different now.
He comes into the bar, and I know his routine.
I know which stool he’ll pick.
I know his favorite drink. I know which sports team he’ll want on the television screen.
And I watch as he gets hit on.
Sometimes he leaves the bar with a woman. Sometimes he doesn’t.
But I’m always there, tending to his drinks. He gives me a smile and a polite nod back.
Then one night, after a long appraising stare, he asked, “Ava, why are you single?”
I leaned in, told him a lie, knowing the truth.
What I didn’t know was that my world was about to shatter after that night.

Something else I didn’t know: would the man I watched all those years help put my heart back together… or smash it into pieces?

** A 42k novella written as a standalone from two characters in the Fallen Crest/Roussou universe.

I devoured this in less than a few hours and wish I would’ve savored this longer!!

If you’ve read none of the books in the Fallen Crest series or Roussou World….you can still read this one!! And join me in the ranks of “I suck for not having read them, but desperately need to now!” because it’s going to happen.

I absolutely loved Zeke & his “this is me, take it over leave it” personality. I love that he doesn’t apologize for who he was (he does apologize for his actions & that’s different) and he doesn’t care if you like who he has become.

Ava, oh sweet Ava. She may be shy & stay hidden but girl is not one to be walked on. She may hide from uncertainty but she also holds her ground.

I want to say so much more but won’t. Just read it – you won’t regret it.
