Release Day Blitz & Review…I’ll Always Be With You by Monica Murphy

by Courtney

I’ll Always Be With You by Monica Murphy is now live!

New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy returns to Lancaster Prep with a new enemies to lovers romance…

Weston Fontaine is the hottest senior at Lancaster Prep.

And he knows it.

He’s gorgeous. Confident. Smart.

Too smart.

Everyone loves him. He could have any girl on campus, except for one.

Me.

I’m a Lancaster, meaning I’m basically untouchable–or so I thought. It’s my family who owns this God forsaken private school that I don’t want to attend. But according to my parents, I have to endure my senior year at Lancaster Prep before I can return to what I love the most: ballet.

West doesn’t make my time here easy. He’s arrogant. Crude. Insufferable. He torments me in the worst way, to the point that I can’t stand him. Yet he’s the only boy I’ve ever let touch me…

You see, West and I? We share a secret. On a hot summer night in Paris, we hooked up. And I never do that. Ever. I revealed parts of myself to him I’ve never shown anyone else. He’s seen me at my most vulnerable. I told him my secrets. And he told me his. In Paris, he was sexy. Protective. Even dare I say…sweet.

Now he’s the villain in my story, yet I can’t help but chase after that feeling only West can give me. Despite our hatred for each other, we somehow burn brighter when we’re together. So what happens when you helplessly fall for the one person you know is bad for you?

If you’re like me, you go ahead and fall for him anyway.

I’ll Always Be With You is the newest release in Monica’s Lancaster Prep series and is a second chance, enemies to lovers romance.

Monica crushes this story so well. She gives these characters depth and weaves the perfect layers to this plot.

Carolina’s mom is pulling her from her London Dance school to attend her last year at Lancaster Prep – the school her family owns and the one she cared to never step foot in. What she does not expect is come face to face with West.

West rules Lancaster Prep. But neither knew of the other when they had their tryst in Paris.

Monica delivers the perfect cat and mouse story. I love how Carolina tries to stay aloof with West. But West just loves getting under her skin any chance he gets.

I want to say so much but what I loved most was that I had no idea what was going to happen between these two and I will not spoil that for any reader.

You can definitely read this as a standalone, but I would recommend me reading all these stories in order to get the full affect of them.

Release Day Blitz & Review…One and Only by Karla Sorensen

by Courtney

ONE AND ONLY

Karla Sorensen

Release Date: May 16

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

You are cordially invited to my fake wedding.

Marrying Beckett Coleman is the best idea I’ve had in years. I can grant my sick dad’s wish to walk one of his daughters down the aisle, and Beckett has my help solving a custody situation with his daughter. Our plan is to spend a year together, then part ways. Easy, especially since I’m not his type, and he’s not mine either.

He’s too quiet and too serious. And while he’s distractingly gorgeous, he’s also my brother’s teammate. Beckett is fake husband material, not the real deal. I just have to remember that.

Until I move in with him. Get to know him. Share a bed with him. Turns out, the line between fake and real isn’t just blurry, it’s almost impossible to uphold when he looks at me the way he does.

This marriage is a whole lot more complicated than we bargained for. We’re threatening to destroy everything we’ve built, something neither of us can risk.

Marrying Beckett might’ve been the best idea in years. But falling in love with him would be the worst.

One and Only is a slow burn romance from Karla Sorensen.

This is a tough one for me to review. While I enjoyed this book, I can honestly say it’s a book I would re-read. It was truly right down the middle ok for me.

Greer and Beckett’s story is truly a slooooow burn. The majority of this book (90%) is the buildup to their relationship and I am truly ok with the build-up to make the story more believable. However, it’s quite a boring build-up. Nothing was real exciting or memorable that would make this story “WOW” me.

I do love the characters and that’s what kept me hooked. I love Greer and her strong personality. She has on problems taking control of things and expressing what she wants. Greer is very mild and quiet – he goes with the flow and tries not to cause ripples. These two are total opposites and yet they blend so well together.

The characters, their mannerisms and how they interact with not only one another but other characters in this book is what makes me want to give this book 4 stars. It’s the plot and the flow that make me want to rate the book lower. So, right down middle seems like the best rating for me on this one.

One and Only is loved by so many, so please realize that this book just wasn’t for me or wasn’t right for me at this time. I can be a mood reader so sometimes great books just pop up at the wrong time for me.

If you love a good slow-burn romance with mild spice, this book is for you.

Release Day Blitz & Review…P. S. You’re the Worst by Jane Anthony

by Courtney

🔥 P.S. YOU’RE THE WORST by Jane Anthony is LIVE 🔥

USA Today Bestselling Author, Jane Anthony, delivers a provocative tale of lust, love, and all-out war. Opposites attract when Dylan Masters — a golden boy from a wealthy political family — meets Darla Burke—smart-mouthed waitress with a big attitude—on their angst-fueled road from hate to love.

Rich. Spoiled. Cocky. Playboy.

Dylan Masters is the worst. Our only date ended with me doing the walk of shame with his taste still lingering on my tongue. I never expected to see him again . . . nor did I want to.

But when he walks into my restaurant the next morning, I have no choice but to serve him lunch with a smile. Turns out, Dylan isn’t just a date gone wrong—he’s the governor’s son. He’s as callous as he is gorgeous. A golden boy set up for a charmed life, and I’m nothing more than “the help”.

Yet it doesn’t stop his ravenous pursuit to get my attention. He expects me to worship him like everyone else, but he could choke on his silver spoon for all I care. Hate and love are two sides of the same coin. If he wants my heart, he’ll have to work harder.

In a world where cash is king, Dylan Masters finally found the one thing he wants that money can’t buy: me.

Jane Anthony is a new author to me. The blurb for P.S. You’re the Worst caught my attention and I enjoy reading new authors. And I was not disappointed in the least.

Jane captures her audience from the very start and keeps us hooked throughout the entire book.

P.S. You’re the Worst is an enemies to lovers story and Jane’s writing brings this story to life. Dylan and Darla are from two different sides of the tracks and couldn’t be different if they tried. But it’s the unexpected second meet between the two of that fans the flames that began as a spark after their first encounter.

I loved that Jane keeps her characters true to who they are, but also grow too. The banter between Dylan and Darla is perfection; they both dual against one another but also bring out the best in one another. The push and pull adds to that angst and chemistry building between them.

I could not put this down once I started it. The characters are flawed in their own ways and the story flows at the perfect pace. I enjoyed the intensity of this book and absolutely loved watching these characters grow in their own rights.

Jane Anthony, you just gained yourself another reader. I am looking forward to reading more from her.

Eleven years ago, he hurt her.

Now he plans to prove they’re meant to be…

In high school, Maggie Edelstein set the rules of our secret relationship, but I’m calling the shots now. In my dreams.

Maggie’s still infuriating and confusing, and absolutely stunning. She’s also still pretending we barely spent time together as teens, when we met up nightly at her family’s pond.

Over a decade later, I’m back in my hometown and some things haven’t changed. My chemistry with Maggie is once again hotter than a four-alarm fire, and she’s intent on denying it. I don’t blame her. The last night we saw each other I made a horrible mistake and hurt her, then I vanished into witness protection for ten years.

But there’s something else going on with her.

I recognize a secret when I see one, and her friends say she doesn’t do commitment. If I can get her to forgive me and open up, maybe she’ll break her rules and give us a second chance. Or she’ll light my heart on fire and dance around the flames…

Release Day Blitz & Review…Beyond the Thistles by Samantha Young

by Courtney

A grumpy vs sunshine, age-gap, romantic suspense set in the Scottish Highlands.

Beyond the Thistles by Samantha Young is now live!

It’s been a long time since Walker Ironside left behind Scotland and the memories that haunt him. Yet after years of traveling the world as a bodyguard, Walker misses his homeland enough to return. To a village in the Scottish Highlands that plays host to an exclusive members-only club, Ardnoch Estate. If not happy, Walker is content working with the elite security at the club and maintaining his bachelor lifestyle. What he doesn’t need is distraction in the form of the enticing but too-young newcomer, single mother Sloane Harrow.

Sloane never imagined she’d get pregnant at sixteen. Or that a decade later she’d escape from California with her daughter, Callie, to start over in the Scottish Highlands. Hidden and safe from Callie’s dangerous father, Sloane is satisfied with their new lives. Her daughter is happy. Sloane has a stable job, a quaint cottage, a passion for baking that might just be turning into a business, and a huge crush on brooding security guard Walker Ironside. Unfortunately, the grumpy Scot seems immune to Sloane’s charm, but she can’t help but try to seduce him with cupcakes and baked treats whenever the opportunity arises.

However, when someone arrives in Ardnoch intent on destroying Sloane’s life, Walker is the first to step forward to protect her and Callie. Even if it means giving into temptation and awakening his own demons. Because in doing so, Walker faces failing not only to shield Sloane from her past, but to safeguard her against his own.

I love reading Samantha’s books. I wish I could pinpoint exactly why but there are so many things that I love about her books. But the main thing I always come back to is her writing style. She makes me fall in love with her characters and their stories.

I only read the first book in the Adair series, so I can honestly say that you can read this one and not need to read the previous series to get the full understanding of this book.

Beyond the Thistles is a slow-burn romance between Sloane and Walker. They both have had a rough past and while Sloane has no problems acting on their attraction, Walker doesn’t want to. But when a danger comes lurking into Sloane’s life, Walker can’t walk away from protecting her and her daughter.

I absolutely love the pacing of this story and how things played out. It’s the perfect amount of romance and suspense that it all blends together seamlessly. The bedroom scenes are downright hot and Samantha delivers a perfect suspenseful plot.

This is a great start to her new series and one you definitely want to read.

She resides in Scotland.

Release Day Blitz & Review…A Cruel Arrangement by Tijan

by Courtney

A Cruel Arrangement by Tijan is now live!

This was my place. My business. Easter Lanes.

Then a guy comes in, trying to rob me, daring to take it away from me.

My home. My life.

Hell no. I won’t let my livelihood be threatened.

No one knows what I’ve done to build this life for myself.

Except he might.

Ashton Walden, a man I remember from when we were kids.

Even back then I could tell how dangerous he would be one day.

He’s now the head of the Walden mafia family, and my father is so in debt to them that they practically own him.

My dad and I are estranged and I want nothing to do with him or his debt, but the day after the attempted robbery, I don’t wake up in the hospital.

I wake up in Ashton Walden’s home. And he drops a bomb on me.

If I want my livelihood back, I need to earn it back.

And thus begins our cruel arrangement.

A Cruel Arrangement is the second book in Tijan’s Kings of New York and just as fantastic as the first.

Tijan is a magician with her words. She knows exactly how to grip her readers right from the start and keep them entertained through the end. However, she also knows how to weave a story that is completely different even though it’s within the same series. Molly and Ashton’s story is completely different than Trace and Jess’s.

Molly may come across as this timid rabbit but she was pretty much raised on the streets. Her interactions with her Father, Shorty, only added to her difficulty upbringing and molded her into who she is today.

Ashton has no qualms about getting his hands dirty. He doesn’t even flinch at any violence; he pretty much wears it like armor. He’s a man of action and has no remorse for it. He purposely has kept a wall up and doesn’t allow himself to have any weaknesses for others to use against him. Until Molly.

I love how this story played out. Tijan kept these characters true to who they are and yet they evolved too. The banter between them all was perfection and I loved that Molly kept Ashton on his toes. He never knew what to expect from her and that helped bond them even more.

I highly recommend this series so much! You will not regret it.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Nocticadia by Keri Lake

by Courtney

Title: Nocticadia

Author: Keri Lake

Genre: Dark Academia Gothic Romance

Release Date: April 25, 2023

BLURB

Mortui vivos docent.

The dead teach the living.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I’d find the cure for what ravaged her. And leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me.

Four years later, I receive an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest, most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it’s rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before. Those whose bones are said to make up the island’s white sandy shores.

And restless ghosts aren’t even its most daunting peculiarity.

Devryck Bramwell, known on campus as Doctor Death, is a brilliant pathologist in charge of the midnight lab. He’s also my devastatingly handsome professor, who seems to loathe tenacious first-years, like me. Except, his dark and enigmatic gaze tells me all the ways he’d devour me if given the chance, and his stolen kisses burn my lips with forbidden jealousy.

I crave his authority.

He aches for redemption.

Together, we’re toxic. Delicious fodder for the prying eyes hellbent on exhuming the rotted skeletons of our pasts.

For the dead have much to teach, and it’s only a matter of time before Dracadia’s most depraved secret is resurrected.

How do I start this???

I have been a huge fan of Keri’s since I read her book, Somnium waaay back in 2011. And I have read every book since has published since then, without fail. To say she has grown exponentially since then, is an understatement.

Keri’s writing style is rare and extremely unique. She doesn’t fit into one genre and I love that she allows her characters to tell the stories. She doesn’t write to sell, she writes to tell stories that will stick with her readers for years to come. And they do.

Nocticadia left me speechless. Not only was I given the opportunity to BETA read this one, but Keri pushed herself to write a story that is like nothing I have read before. And I feel like I say that with every book she writes, but it is so true. Not one of her stories is ever the same but they are also so incredibly distinct in books in general. She’s like my Steven King in gothic, dark, fantasy writing.

I am not going to tell you what happens in this story because you, as a reader, need to experience this story firsthand yourself.

Keri delivers a story with characters that have depth and a plot that has many layers to it. Nocticadia is a slow burn, forbidden romance that has the best eerily vibe attached to it. I could not stop reading this book once I started.

Another smashing hit for Keri and I love that she continues to keep readers on their toes and guessing what will happen next.

Release Day Blitz & Review…The Coldest Winter by Brittainy Cherry

by Courtney

The Coldest Winter by Brittainy Cherry is now live!

I didn’t know he was forbidden until after our one night stand…

I met Milo Corti during his self-destructive era, and he met me at the beginning of mine. That night when we crossed paths at a college party, we only had one goal: to feel good during our hell storms.

After we parted ways, I’d planned never to see him again. That was until I showed up for my first day as a student-teacher and found him sitting right there before me. Now I was forced to cross paths with the person meant to be nothing more than a fading memory.

The more time we spent together, the more drawn I felt toward him. When his world shifted for the worst, I couldn’t help but to lean in closer.

I’d always done the right thing. For the first time ever, I wanted to do something very wrong. I wanted to fall in love with the one person who was off-limits.

The problem with falling for something forbidden? Once you began to descend, you were destined to crash and burn.

“No one is more deserving of witnessing your love than the person staring back at you in the mirror.”

I know when I read a Brittainy Cherry book, I am going to get more than a phenomenal story with amazing characters. I am going to come away from it with some many life lessons from her words.

“That’ the scariest thing about life – it makes no promises. But do you know the most thing about life? It’s make no promises.”

The Coldest Winter is a forbidden romance between a student and a teacher. Brittainy does this trope justice and is very genuine in her writing. While this book may have that forbidden aspect, I felt so much while reading this book.

“One day, I’m going to love you out loud, and it will be the best day of my life.”

“We were the greatest mistake that felt so right.”

This story goes way deeper than just the taboo portion. There is a lot of heartbreak, growth and devotion. This is not your typical forbidden romance. The love between Milo and Star pours from these pages.

“She was the warm summer nights to my cold winter days. She was my person.”

“He wasn’t only my person, but he was my heart. He was my spirit. He was my light.”

GAH!! I loved this book so much. Milo and Star hold a special place in my heart.

Picture this…you’re sitting by the ocean, sipping your favorite cocktail. The sun is setting over your skin, the sound of waves crashing against the sand offers the perfect background music for the mellow reggae tunes that play through the salty air. Life is good. You have a best friend who seems to be a better friend to you than he is a boyfriend to his girl, your mom is calling your phone to ask what time you’ll be home for dinner, and your current “plaything” is too busy flirting with another girl in a desperate attempt to see if you care. Pathetic. But you don’t care because the sand is between your toes, your surfboard is freshly waxed, and you are one hundred percent sure that your life is perfect.

It was all perfect, right? Except Hades Hollow would never be perfect. This was a town built on old stories that were planted, grew, and eventually rotted here. It was a vicious cycle of rebirth. The stories would never die…not at least until the real one had been told. It all started with a game. The kind of trickery that poisons your heart because it knows the mind is weak.

One was my nemesis, a genre-meddling musician.

One was as scary as he was charming.

And one was a billionaire.

I mean, I knew that, right. I knew who they were…

I was about to find out the hard way that I didn’t know anything at all.

I’m Shiloh St. Claire. A daughter, a friend…and a liar.

AMO!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!

Boneyard Tides is the first book in Amo’s Aphotic Waters and let me tell you – no matter what reviewers tell you, you will be not be prepared enough for Amo delivers. Hades Hollow will put you under its spell immediately.

“Diavoli dell’oceano”

Amo delivers a unique take on a dark, gothic folklore story in a reverse harem way. Oh, and she brings her authentic twists and WTF writing style that gives you a story unlike anything she (or anyone) has written before. I enjoyed all the elements that Amo brings and I absolutely enjoyed how she tied the folklore of Hades Hollow into a very suspenseful and chilling game for these characters.

“Not at all something I would expect to see any of them in, but since I’m not only drinking their Kool-aid, but I’m fucking shooting it through an IV, I ignore the red flags.”

This story is told from multiple POV’s (Shiloh, Sparrow, Dion and Malyk) and each time you will be left trying to figure out what is going and who can really be trusted. Shiloh is a strong heroine and I love her fierceness and how she never bends as easily as people think she will.

GAHHHHH!! I want to say so much but can’t.

Boneyard Tides is twisted tale that you want to jump into immediately.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Coach by Devney Perry

by Courtney

Football star. Single dad. And once, a long time ago, mine.

Coach by Devney Perry is now live!

I’ve spent the better part of a decade forgetting Ford Ellis. If he had just stayed away from Montana, I might have erased the memory of his striking blue eyes and rugged smile forever. Avoiding him was easy when the only place I saw his face was on ESPN—and a remote control could fix that problem.

Except my boss just hired Ford as the new head coach for the Treasure State Wildcats. Not only will I be stuck watching him on the sidelines this season, but avoiding him will be impossible now that we’re working together.

Maybe I haven’t forgotten Ford. Maybe I still dream about what we might have been. Maybe he hasn’t forgotten me either.

Except those maybes won’t change the fact that we were never meant to be. Maybe he was mine once. But as of today, the only thing I’ll be calling Ford Ellis is Coach.

Coach is Devney’s newest release and the first book in her Treasure State Wildcats series.

All you need to know about this book is in the blurb. It covers quite a few tropes underneath the sports romance genre. Single dad in a small-town, second-chance romance with some celebrity fanfare added in and you have Coach.

Ford and Millie’s were best friends in college. And just when they tried to take things further, Ford ghosted her.

Ford is moving back to his college roots and becoming the head football coach. However, he doesn’t know that Millie is the assistant AD (Athletic Director) and in a round-about way, his boss.

Ford is a determined individual who stops at nothing to get what he wants. I loved his tenacity yet also understood Millie’s apprehension. He took all of her feelings into consideration but still never gave up.

Millie is devoted to her job, she loves what she does. It’s what she always wanted to do. Ford crushed her once before and she’s not ready to put her trust in him again. She also isn’t willing to lose her job for him. And I love that she stands her ground and lets him know where she stands.

I enjoyed how Devney written this story. It all flows beautifully and you can see chemistry between them so vividly. I absolutely loved Ford and Millie so much; they complimented one another in so many ways.

Coach is another phenomenal stand-alone romance from Devney and one that you need to read!
