Ms. Tucker has saved the best for last!!! Wow, this book definitely blew me away and all my expectations.

This is the final book in her Fate and Flame series and it was so worth all the turmoil and suspense we have been put through. And do not let the 700+ pages scare you or deter you – you will fly through these pages and be all caught up in everything that transpires

This is told from different POV’s and that helps keeps this story moving and allows readers to truly see all the ins and outs of each character. The overall plot still surrounds Romeria but the additional and new things (I am trying to be as vague as possible) are perfection as it all ties together wonderfully and gives us readers what we want.

Ms. Tucker definitely gave her all in this book and even leaves a few things unsettled which has me wondering will we get a spin-off in the near future!?!?

Absolutely read this series; it’s now complete so you have zero reasons to not start now!

Release Day Blitz & Review…Endless Southern Love by Heidi McLaughlin

Title: Endless Southern Love

Series: Magnolia Grove Series

Author: Heidi McLaughlin

Genre/Tropes: Small Town; Second Chance; Single Dad; Enemies-to-Lovers

Release Date: August 29, 2024

Single dad, Wade Jenkins, Magnolia Grove’s landscaping hottie who likes to mow lawns without a shirt on is thrown for a loop when his spirited seven-year-old daughter Goldie comes to live with him. While Wade’s thrilled to have his daughter full-time, there’s one little issue . . .

The elementary school principal.

Lemon Walsh is a woman who doesn’t live life to the fullest, despite her best friend urging her to all the time. When someone from her past shows up front and center, she has no choice but to finally reconcile the decision she made in college.

Will one of her students be the catalyst for change?

“Wade . . .” I say his name for the first time, to him, in years. It hurts, hearing my voice call out to him.

He stops and sets his shovel down. I didn’t expect him to walk toward me, but he does. Each step of his is deliberate and forceful, almost like he’s trying to leave his impression in the grass. He’s wearing his khaki cargo pants and from experience I know each pocket has something he’ll need today. A tool, twine, or trimmer line for the weed wacker. I’ve spent countless hours sitting on my parent’s front porch, watching him cut lawn with precision.

I’m out of breath when he comes face to face with me. He stands close. Close enough that we share the same air. Everything in my mind tells me to step back, to put a wall between us, but my heart sings at the closeness. I know I’ll never win the battle of hating him as long as we’re in the same town.

We stare at one another, taking each other in. His dark hair, brown eyes, and scruff all call to me, beg me to get lost in everything that is Wade Jenkins. I have loved this man for most of my life, and yet he’ll never be mine.

This is was a really sweet, second-chance southern romance. I have not read any of the other books in this series and this one can be easily read as a stand-alone.

Wade and Lennon were in love, a long time ago. Now they avoid each other at all costs. But one call changes everything for both of them.

I absolutely loved Wade; he made this book for me. Lennon frustrated me at times with her attitude, but it fit her character style. I enjoyed watching these two come back into each others lives again and navigating their new normal.

Another enjoyable read from Heidi.

In the heart of Alabama, lies a charming little town on the river, where everyone knows your name… and your business.

Follow the intertwined lives of its beloved residents as they navigate first love, second chances, and all the unexpected surprises that their small-town holds.

Welcome to Magnolia Grove, where every neighbor has a story worth unraveling, the roots run deep, and love blossoms around every corner.

Release Day Blitz & Review…The Devil Himself by BB Easton

The Devil Himself by BB Easton is now live!

From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 44 Chapters About 4 Men (inspiration for the hit series Sex/Life on Netflix) comes the highly anticipated sequel to her dark Irish mafia romance, Devil of Dublin.

Growing up, I spent every night tucked under my mother’s arm, dreamily listening to tales from her favorite book series—Legend Has It by Darby Donovan, a collection of spooky folklore about a town called Glenshire and the lonely, gray-eyed fairy prince who haunted the woods there. I knew they were just stories, but when my mother died and left me in the care of my cold, abusive father, that fictional fairy prince suddenly became very, very real to me. It was as if he was always there, hiding in the shadows, offering me his silent comfort. I turned him into an imaginary friend when I needed one most.

And thirteen years later, I’m doing it again.

When my coastal Irish town is bombed by the new Russian president, a Bratva leader seeking revenge on the United Irish Brotherhood, those missiles destroy everything I’ve ever known—my home, my family, and evidently my sanity—because when I pull an injured Russian Navy officer out of the sea, a man who led the charge against my town, I can’t bring myself to let him die.

Secluded together in my secret hiding spot, we’re safe from the Mafia war raging outside, but the overwhelming connection I feel to this stranger is a battle I fight every single day. I hate him with everything that I am, but when he looks at me with those smoky gray eyes, all I see is my friend. When he touches me, all I feel is desire. And when he wraps his lips around the sustenance I offer him, all I want is to feel them pressed against mine, loving me, putting me back together.

But no one can live in a fantasy world forever, and when reality finally finds us, the truth about him is worse than anything I could have imagined.

The man I rescued is no fairy prince.

He’s the goddamn Devil himself.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: The Devil Himself is a continuation of Devil of Dublin and is not intended to be read as a standalone. It contains the same dark themes, graphic violence, and explicit content as Book 1, but if you have questions about specific subject matter, a comprehensive content warning can be found on my website.

We are back in Ireland and B.B. immediately takes our breath away in the first chapter.

I am not going to give you any details about this book. The blurb is all you need if you need to know what you are getting yourself into.

B.B. takes readers on another fast-paced, action-packed, suspenseful story. But it’s also so much more than that – it’s a journey for Clover and Damien that is filled with sorrow but hope. It’s definitely a rough journey, but it’s one that in the end will leaving feeling so happy.

That’s all I am saying. This story was so much more than I expected and I loved it even more because of that. Definitely a highly recommend read, but please review TW if you have any.

Meet BB Easton

BB Easton is the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN, the hilarious, steamy, tell-all memoir that inspired the Netflix Original Series, SEX/LIFE. Within the first month, SEX/LIFE was viewed by 67 million households worldwide, making it the 3rd Most Watched Netflix Original Series of all time.

BB was a stressed-out school psychologist and mother of two when the inspiration to write 44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN struck. Through that process, she rediscovered her passion for writing, became dangerously sleep-deprived, and finally mustered enough courage to quit her job and become a full-time author.

BB went on to publish four more wickedly funny, shockingly steamy, and heartwarmingly autobiographical books in the 44 CHAPTERS series: SKIN, SPEED, STAR, and SUIT. Since then, she’s been hard at work, writing fictional stories that appeal to her love for us-against-the-world romance, including a dystopian trilogy (BAD BOYS DON’T DIE), a psychologist-client romantic comedy (GROUP THERAPY), and a dark Mafia romance series (DEVIL OF DUBLIN).

Release Day Blitz…First Time by Heidi McLaughlin & L.P. Dover

Title: First Time
Authors: Heidi McLaughlin & L.P.Dover
Genre: Contemporary Romance / Short story / New Adult
Release Date: August 27, 2024
Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Heidi McLaughlin and L.P. Dover team up again for a sexy new Society X series that will have you begging for more!

The rules of Society X are simple … break them and you’re out.

The exclusive club has it all:

Staying anonymous in the Dark Room.

Watching your every desire in the Viewing Room.

Exploring scandalous fun in the Play Room.

For Brent Danson, the club doesn’t interest him—at least, not until he meets the beauty behind the bar, who happens to be an old flame from his past… Scotlyn Hill.

Scotlyn brings out a side in him he hasn’t explored yet. She’s beautiful, experienced, and not the virgin he is. But that soon changes when they both give in to the temptations Society X has to offer, especially the Dark Room.

However, when the time comes for all to be revealed, will Brent and Scotlyn be able to make things work? One way or another, neither one will be the same.

“Did you get your eyeful again?” I joke as I close the distance between us.

Brent’s cheeks turn red and he adjusts his glasses. He reminds me of the Clark Kent version of Superman. When he has his glasses on, he’s a nerdy computer guy. But when they come off . . . he looks completely different. Very sexy.

Brent chuckles. “I did. There was a lot of bare skin in there.”

PERFECTION!!

How do I review this book and not give anything away!?! Pam truly knows how to deliver a story to her readers that is jaw dropping and absolutely engaging from start to finish.

Heart of Frost and Scars is the third and final book in her Frozen Fate series. You MUST read these books in order. This book starts off exactly where Cage of Ice and Echoes ended and readers are immediately thrusted back into the lives of our four amazing characters.

Just when you thought Pam could not throw anything more at us, she shocks us all with this book. I absolutely the new twists in this book and it just keeps readers write at the edge, wondering what is going to happen next.

This entire series is mangled up in a web of twists and turns that’s riddled with lies, deceit and deception. I have been left gasping so many times but also in awe of Frankie too. This series definitely puts your emotions through the ringer.

Highly, highly recommended series. It’s very dark in many ways, but so incredibly well written and one that no reader should pass up.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Alone With You by Aly Martinez

From the USA TODAY bestselling author of From the Embers comes a new jaw-dropping standalone romance.

Pain trapped me in this house. Can love set me free?

Death had been chasing me my entire life. I survived the horrors of war, but it was the aftermath that truly destroyed me.

People called me a recluse, but the only time I didn’t feel like I was suffocating was inside that house.

For my daughter, I kept some semblance of normalcy by implementing a rigid routine. Once a week, I forced myself to walk to the diner at the end of the block—a ritual I despised but relied on as my last anchor to the real world.

Until the day a “Closed” sign on the door shattered my fragile existence. Worse, the new owner was the most haunting ghost from my past.

It had been years since I’d laid eyes on Gwendolyn Pierce. She hated me—and rightly so. But when a film crew arrived in town to dig into my past, she became my only ally.

With my secrets threatened, I leaned on Gwen, forging a connection neither of us could deny. But with a past as dark as ours, I feared it would eclipse any hope for a future.

I always said that when Death finally came for me, I would be ready, eager, and alone.
Always alone.

But for Gwen, maybe I could face the world again as long as it meant I could be alone—with her.

Release Day Blitz & Review…The Hunted Heir by Holly Renee

The Hunted Heir by Holly Renee is now live!

From USA Today Bestselling Author Holly Renee, comes the second book in the scorching romantasy series with enthralling secrets, impassioned enemies, and luring tension.

Verena was the lost princess of Marmoris, the very thing we had spent our entire lives looking for, and I had let her go.

The lingering taste of her mixed with the deep ache in my chest over her betrayal haunted my days and nights. I knew she was hiding something, but her secrets were far more treacherous than I could have imagined.

Though I wished my own betrayal hadn’t been so bitter on my tongue.

Now my dreams are haunted with the way her deep blue eyes looked up at me in shock when I revealed I knew her truth.

The way I crave for her to look at me now as I hunt for her.

Me, along with half of the rebellion.

If my father finds her before me, there is no telling what he will do to her.

And even though she’s the little traitor I’d always thought she was, I couldn’t allow him to find her.

But his orders were clear. The princess is to be taken by the rebellion or she would be taken by the gods. I don’t know which is worse.

She is the heir to our kingdom, the daughter of the cruel king who was responsible for my mother’s death, and the key to winning our rebellion.

I vowed to my father that I would find her, the one person I wish I didn’t have to.

Verena is the hunted heir. But more than anything, she is mine.

As excited as I was for this book, and as quickly as I devoured this book, I expected more from it.

The Hunter Heir starts off exactly where The Veiled Kingdom ended. As the book says, Verena is now being hunted; hunted by Dacre and his father.

Did I enjoy this book? Yes. But I wanted more. There is still alot lacking in the terms of worldbuilding and how the magic system works. I expected the characters to grow more (Dacre sort of went backwards for me).

Overall – this book is definitely just a filler book. I really didn’t gain anything more from this story than I did with the first book. However, I am intrigued enough to want to continue on with this story

Release Day Blitz & Review…Of Heartbreak and Harmony by Brit Benson

OF HEARTBREAK AND HARMONY

Brit Benson

Release Date: August 16

Blurb:

He burned me once.

This time, I won’t be the one consumed by the flames.

Torren King is rock-and-roll’s broodiest bachelor.

Mysterious, moody, and coveted by nearly everyone.

But to me, he’s just the sad boy who set fire to my heart,

then reduced me to ashes in the desert.

For four sweltering nights, I burned for him,

and he conquered my heart one whispered lyric at a time.

But on the fifth night, he shattered me in the way only a flawless rock god can:

irreparably, and with devastating finesse.

Four years later, the last place I expect to be is sitting before him,

reading through a contact with a pen poised in my fingertips.

A favor for a favor, he says.

A US tour and a fake relationship in exchange for the answer to all my problems.

I hate him. I hate that I need him.

And what I hate the most?

He doesn’t remember me. At all.

But despite the burning chemistry between us,

the rapidly blurring lines and the suffocating attraction,
he’s still the rock star who ruined me,

and I refuse to let myself forget.

Of Heartbreak and Harmony is the second standalone in The Hometown Heartless series. It has a guaranteed HEA. It is not necessary to read Between Never and Forever before reading Of Heartbreak and Harmony.

Meet Brit Benson:

Brit Benson writes real, relatable romance. She likes outspoken, independent heroines, dirty talking, love-struck heroes, and plots that get you right in the feels.

Brit would almost always rather be reading or writing. When she’s not dreaming up her next swoony book boyfriend and fierce book bestie, she’s getting lost in someone else’s fictional world. When she’s not doing that, she’s probably marathoning a Netflix series or wandering aimlessly up and down the aisles in Homegoods, sniffing candles and touching things she’ll never buy.

Review Blitz…Tempting by Bella Matthews

Tempting by Bella Matthews is now live!

A little white lie never hurt anyone . . . or so I thought.

One fake date and we’d go our separate ways, at least that’s how hockey’s hottest golden boy—Nixon Sinclair—convinced me this would work. But it turns out, Nix had other plans.

Now I’m sneaking around with my brother’s teammate, refusing to admit he’s everything I want but never knew I needed.

Irresistibly dirty mouth—Check.

Panty-meltingly possessive—Check. Check.

Toe-curling lessons in the bedroom—Check. Check. Triple Check.

But when fun leads to feelings, our little white lie starts to feel a little too real.

And if I’m not careful, I’ll be the one hurt in the end.

If you have read any of the books from the previous series (Playing To Win series), then you would met Kenzie briefly. You don’t need to read those books to know her story as Bella does a great job of giving delivery Kenzie’s fully story in this book.

Kenzie is back home after a whirlwind education and finds herself working for her aunt at her medical facility as an OBGYN. Kenzie has always been focused on her studies and career – it’s been her life and she zero regrets on that.

Nixon and Kenzie have known each other for years and years, and have always been in the same circle of friends – hanging out, doing whatever. These two never really saw past the friendship in one another. At least one of them never really let on that they crushed on them, big time, growing up.

And that is all that I am saying about the book itself. Bella created two characters that could not be more different, yet similar and oh-so-right for one another. I love that Kenzie and Nixon challenge one another in different ways, but bring out the best in one another too.

Tempting is the perfect book to start off this new series and I cannot wait for the next one!

Release Day Blitz & Review…Twisted Truths by P. Rayne

Twisted Truths by P. Rayne is now live!

A dark contemporary billionaire romance with a tortured hero, touch her and die, and secret society tropes from USA Today Bestselling Author duo P. Rayne.

My life changed forever the day I saved Obsidian Voss from drowning in the ocean.

When my father lands himself in trouble, I take a job working for Obsidian, one of the country’s most famous billionaires. It doesn’t take long for me to realize that there’s more behind the façade he presents to the world—a darker, more dangerous side.

Still, I’m drawn to him. As he introduces me to a world I never knew existed, I find myself falling for him. But I’m torn because I came to Midnight Manor with a hidden agenda, and I’ve been lying to Obsidian from the start. Eventually, he’s going to find out.

My secret will change everything. And if Obsidian really is the monster he thinks he is, what will he do to me?

Twisted Truths is the final, full-length novel in the Midnight Manor series and this duo definitely delivers it perfectly.

As with all the other books, this is a fairytale re-telling and this was my first one of The Little Mermaid. It can be easily read as a standalone but these books are so much better read in order as you get to the know the Voss brothers.

Ariana is now trying to live an honest life, one she never really had growing up and working with her father and brother as con-artists. However, when she finds out that her father has put their lives in danger by promising money he can never deliver on, she finds herself back in her old shoes again.

Sid has always been the most mysterious brother out of the four of them. He’s there but we never get to really know much about him except he’s quiet and keeps to himself. In this book, we get to see why and have a better understanding of this brooding man. Also – I got the tiny hint they threw in the book and it makes me love this man even more for it.

These ladies definitely upped the spice and naughtiness in this one and I loved it as it suited the relationship between Sid and Ariana. It was great to see things develop between Sid & Ariana in a natural way, giving readers more to their story.

A fabulous ending to this series and one I highly recommend reading!
