Author: J. Kenner

Genre: Contemporary Romance

A hard body. A dangerous past.

Meet Mr. February.

Reality-TV star and reformed bad boy Spencer Dean doesn’t trust women. Not after his fiancée, Brooke, left him at the altar five years ago, breaking his heart and hardening his soul.

Now, Brooke is close to a deal for her own show that will launch with the remodel of a popular Austin bar. The problem? The network insists that Spencer step in as her partner.

He’s tried to forget her—but he can’t deny that he still wants her. More than that, he wants to punish her. And so he agrees, but only on terms that are provocative, demanding, and wildly sensual.

It’s the perfect set-up for extracting revenge. But he doesn’t expect to fall for Brooke all over again…

Revenge never looked so hot.

**Hold On Tight is part of a binge read series by New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Publishers Weekly, and #1 International bestselling author of the million copy Stark series, J. Kenner.

Hold On Tight is the second book in Kenner’s Man of the Month series. Each book features a new guy but there is an underlying story about repairing the local bar that is in some financial troubles. So while you can read each book as a standalone, if you want to enjoy the true nature of the series, read them in order. But it won’t hurt the actual book if you don’t.

Hold On Tight is Brooke & Spencer’s book. These two used to be engaged many years ago. But that one day changed everything between them and they have not spoken to each other since that heartbreaking day. Brooke is trying to prove to her parents that she doesn’t need to follow in their footsteps to be successful in life. Spencer is just looking to move on with his life and get out from under the spotlight of reality TV now.

But in order for them both to get what they want, they must do one thing that the executives want – work together on the Bar Rehab show. Yea, let’s just say things get really interesting between them. I am not going to lie, I did have some issues with how things progressed and played out, but that’s because I wanted a deeper novel and that’s not what this series is for. It’s a binge read series and they are to be quick and hot.

Kenner does a great job of keeping these books fast, hot and enticing. There isn’t a whole lot of deep plot elements and that’s what helps keep things light yet moving along quickly. At times, this is hard for me to grasp onto because I do enjoy books with a great plot, lots of suspense with the added romance element blended into it. I enjoy books that are longer and deeper, but that is not the point of these books. So please keep that in mind as you read these books.

I am enjoying these books as I am reading them within a few hours of starting and they are leaving me wanting to know what happens with the next hottie in their book.

Taming Him by Kennedy Fox…Release Day Blitz & Review

Title: Taming Him
Series: Bishop Brothers
Author: Kennedy Fox
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Trope: Vacation Romance
Photographer: Wander Augular
Model: Zac Aynsley
Designer: RBA Designs
Release Date: January 30, 2018
*Each Bishop Brothers novel is an interconnected standalone*


Alex Bishop is your typical cowboy.
Charming, sexy, and wears a panty-melting smirk.
Working on the ranch helped build his solid eight-pack and smoking body. He’s every girl’s wet fantasy and he knows it too. Alex doesn’t follow the rules of your typical playboy bachelor. After wining and dining his dates and giving them the best night of their lives, he always sends flowers and calls the next day—even if it’s to say, let’s just be friends. His mama taught him manners after all and his southern blood knows how to be a gentleman. Still, that isn’t enough to tame the wildest of the Bishop brothers.
River Lancaster has finally met the man of her dreams. Too bad after six months of romantic bliss, she finds out he’s married. With a broken heart and blind rage, she books herself a ticket to Key West, Florida. Tired of cheaters and liars, she’s set on escaping to forget he ever existed. Who needs a man when there’s an all-you-can-drink margarita bar, anyway? That’s what she tells herself until she bumps into the right guy who can make all those bad memories disappear.
Even if it’s only temporarily.
Two weeks on the beach is what they both need. No strings attached, no expectations, no broken hearts. Too bad the universe has other plans—one that’ll change the entire course of their lives in just nine short months.
**A complete standalone contemporary romance with a little southern drama**

 

Taming Him is a great start to Kennedy’s newest series, Bishop Brothers. If you know me, you know I really do not care for the southern or cowboy vibe when it comes to my reading. I don’t get all flustered with their looks or charm – it’s a waste on me. However, I love how Brooke and Lyra (the duo of Kennedy Fox) made this a better read for me.

Alex Bishop is a damn sweet and charming cowboy. He is the youngest of the Bishop boys – and they are pretty damn likeable. He comes across as a playboy – and he is, don’t get me wrong. But he’s a not douche playboy. He wines and dines them but also lets them know what is to be expected. Alex rarely gets a vacation because he is constantly working on the family farm. So when his best friend delivers a vacation of a lifetime, it’s hard for him to pass up.

River is nurse in the PICU unit of her hospital. River had me from the get-go. I loved her from the start and want her as my best friend. River, like Alex, works nonstop. She loves her job and commits herself to her patients. She recently had a horrible breakup and really doesn’t want to jump back into the dating pool. River’s best friend sees that she needs a vacation from her life and begs her to go on vacation with her (and her boyfriend). As much as River feels like she will be a third wheel, she jumps at the chance to get away for a bit.

River and Alex are not what either expected to find while on vacation. They both went away with the mindset of have fun and relax. What they ended up finding was a connection that is only granted once in a lifetime. And that’s all you are getting from me on that one. LOL

I love how this story plays out. It’s all about having fun and letting go in the beginning and then everything blossoms into this sweet romantic story. There isn’t any angst (which is surprising that I still enjoyed this book) and just brings a smile to your face.

Kennedy Fox definitely brings on the sexy steamy with sweet romance with the perfect addition of wit and humor splashed in.

I am looking forward to more from the Bishop Boys!!

We Were One by Elizabeth Reyes….Release Day Blitz & Review

Title: We Were One (Looking Glass alternate POV)
Author: Elizabeth Reyes
Genre: NA/Romance suspense/Romantic thriller
Release Date: January 29, 2018
The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death.
~Oscar Wilde~

Adoration is not profound enough a word to express the depth of my love for her. From the moment she walked into my life and set my heart and soul on fire, not a day’s gone by that she hasn’t plagued my every thought.
We were each other’s completion. She was everything I wasn’t–the sigh to my roar, the virtue to my sin, the cure to my wounds.
We Were One.
Until the unthinkable happened.
That I’ve survived such a tragedy without having completely lost it, is a mystery in itself. But as my mind starts to blur the lines between reality and my delusional heart, I begin to question everything, including my sanity.
And then the real mystery begins . . .
Looking Glass #2
Nico’s story
As I usually did when I first arrived at the lake, I parked and lit up a smoke so I could stake the place out by myself for a little while first. I’d heard about and seen enough of the twins now to know they were getting popular with the boys. Not in a bad way, but from what Nolan told me, even the quieter seemingly shyer one of the two had just as many admirers as the more outgoing one. But I’d yet to, nor did I plan to, socialize with either—ever.
“Did it hurt?”
I should’ve known right then those deep blue eyes that close, coupled with that sweet voice, would be the end of me. It was one of the twins—but unlike most of the folk in town, I knew exactly which one—stood before me, staring at my arm curiously.
Trying not to get too sucked into her intoxicatingly playful eyes, I looked away from them as our eyes met and I glanced down at what she was staring at instead. I couldn’t help smirking. She was asking about my latest tattoo.
“A little,” I said, not making too much of it, then glanced back at her. Smiling at those curious eyes just couldn’t be helped, so I did as I continued to indulge. “But it’s the best kind of pain there is. The kind that hurts so good.”
I knew flirting with her was a risk, but I could see the way she was looking at me—the way most girls did when I took them in so unabashedly, making no secret of my dirty thoughts.
She was younger than most girls I normally hung out with. I figured a few more risqué comments from me might have her red as a beet and walking away as she should.
“That thing between your legs,” she said, making me stop mid-drag of my cigarette, and my brows jumped at attention. “It just keeps getting bigger.”
Coughing what little smoke I’d inhaled, I proceeded to make an ass of myself nearly choking then laughing until I was finally able to speak. “What?”

As anyone knows about me, I have a huge issues with books being written from another POV when I already read the story in the first book. So to say I was very skeptical about this one would be putting it mildly. But Eli definitely nailed this one perfectly.

We Were One is the hero’s POV from Girl In the Mirror. And it was amazing. The first part is like a whole new aspect on things because it’s Nico’s past and we get to know about him and his family. That was something that truly helped set the stage for what was to come. The second part wasn’t as “in-depth” as the first but it was still refreshing and entertaining. And I think the reason behind the second part being more condensed, was because a lot of what happens, appears in Girl in the Mirror. Eli did a great job of not really repeating any scenes from Girl In The Mirror and that really helped with keeping this book fresh.

If you have not read Girl In the Mirror, that is ok. You don’t need to read that one to read this one. But I know whichever one you do read first, you will be itching to read the other book just to see how everything starts and finishes from each of their POV’s.

Eli always does a fantastic job of creating characters that you love. You become vested in them and want to see their happiness and success in the end. Yes, this book does have an HEA and will completely steal your heart along the way.

Another smashing hit book for Elizabeth Reyes.

Marx Girl by TL Swan…Release Day Blitz with Review

Cover Design: Hang Le

Release Date: January 28, 2018

 

Synopsis

Ben

We met five years ago when I was her family’s bodyguard.
Our time together was a secret.

Her touch was different…. addictive.
I fell hard and fast and then I left.

I’ve thought about her every day since.

As I sit here at a wedding watching her with her new boyfriend……I have regrets.

Regrets for the past things I’ve done.
But I won’t regret what I’m about to do.

She’s telling me no but her body’s telling me yes.

I need her beneath me.
I’m having her tonight.

Bridget.

It’s the little things I remember about Ben.
His smile and the icing sugar he had on his pancakes.

What started out as private jokes between us soon turned into private visits.

The quiet man at the back of the crowd.

His dry wit made me laugh.
His dominant body ruined me forever

He never told me he loved me, until he was leaving.
That was five years ago.

Things are looking up for me.
I met someone, someone special.

But Ben is back.

I find myself thinking about him ……more than I should.
No matter how hard my heart is freefalling from my chest.

I will never go back there.

You only get to break my heart once.

Okay let me start off with “Holy Hell you have to read this book!” I want you to take any idea or notion you have of a romance book and toss it out the window! Marx Girl is a refreshing, innovative, and a real-life approach to how we experience love today! I read romance novels all the time and this one not only jumps out immediately as a favorite but also a must read for any who love romance! I thought I had Mark Girl all figured out when I was reading but nope, I was soooo wrong! TL Swan writes this book beautifully as a love story but it’s not the fluffy love that is so often written. She steps it up a notch and adds in suspense and dare I say adventure!

Bridget and Ben are flawed but so in love. I could seriously feel the love between these two from the prologue, like deep down real feels! I loved the banter between them so much I was laughing out loud. I even cried while reading this book! Plus, Ben is holy hot as well! I mean any book boyfriend you might have will be replaced by Ben- I fell in love from the beginning. I don’t even know why you are still reading this review- you must go and buy this book! It is full of suspense, love, hate, friendship and on top of all that it is funny! Best advice ever for those in love “Love him like it is your last day with him” *swooning. This is just a snippet of what TL Swan gives you.

Respect by Aleatha Romig…Blog Tour & Review

Respect – An Infidelity Stand-alone Novel

“The making of a man”
Standing at what I believe is the precipice of my life, I, Oren Demetri, was too young to understand that it wasn’t and too old to imagine that it couldn’t be.
The already hefty accumulation of my successes and failures, bravery and fears, and rewards and suffering, had brought me to this point. It was hard to contemplate the things I’d done, and yet, in reality I’d only begun to learn the possibilities.

I suppose that’s how it was for me at twenty-nine years of age on the brink of all I’d ever wanted without fully realizing the price I would pay. Yet in that moment, I knew there would be no cost too great or sacrifice I wouldn’t make. I had no idea how far-reaching that moment of self-discovery would be; because as the congregation’s murmurs quieted, bleeding into silence and allowing the thump of my heart to be the only sound I heard, I was a man filled with love and adoration, emotions in stark contrast to those I needed in the world I’d built or the one I was about to enter.
Angelina Costello was my dream and now my reality. I’d worked diligently to move beyond the actuality of being a dockworker’s son to becoming a self-made, successful entrepreneur, all in an effort to earn the right to call her my own. I’d overcome servitude to others, collecting their paychecks and lowly praises, to being the one who signed the paychecks and offered the accolades when they were rightfully earned.
The world was my oyster and walking toward me on the arm of her uncle was my pearl. I’d found her amongst the empty shells life had offered. There was no need to pry open another possibility. Angelina was all I wanted. Yet my path was uncharted. There was more for me to earn, lose, and willingly give.
The top of that list was respect.
This stand-alone novel may be read without reading the Infidelity series.
From New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a stand-alone novel based from her beloved Infidelity series. With classic Aleatha Romig twists, turns, deceptions, and devotions, this new epic romantic thriller will delve into a world where family takes on new meaning and even the inhabitants are suspicious of the next chapter.

Angelina Costello was the only woman to ever take my breath away. I couldn’t not speak to her. “I haven’t seen you since NYU.”
“I’ve been living overseas, studying history and architecture in Italy.”
“Italy! Molto bene. And now you’re back?” I asked.
“I am.”
“To stay?”
“I believe so.”
“Perhaps we could see one another,” I proposed, all the while hoping that she would say yes and saying a prayer that she would say no.
Her lips curved upward. “I see you now.”
“Si, and I would like to see more.”
With a glint to her gaze, she said, “I never forgot you. I thought at one time…” Her head tilted innocently as her lip momentarily hid behind her teeth. “Are you sure you aren’t still scared of me?”
“Angelina, I’m quite certain that I’m terrified of you.”
Her smile grew. “Bene. Then let me give you my number.”

Midnight Blue by L.J. Shen…Blog Tour & Review

SBPR-BT-BANNER.jpg

Midnight Blue, an all-new sexy standalone from LJ Shen is available NOW!

LJSMidnightBlueBookCover6x9_BW_324

Midnight Blue

Author: LJ Shen

Release Date: January 18th

It should have been easy.

I needed the money. He needed a babysitter to keep him from snorting himself to death.

I was cherry-picked especially for him. Responsible. Optimistic. Warm. Innocent.

The worst part is that I should have known better.

Alex Winslow. British rock star. Serial heartbreaker. Casanova with whiskey eyes.

“Don’t get near the devil in a leather jacket. He’ll chew you up and spit you out.”

Sounds familiar? That’s because it was a headline in a tabloid the second time he got arrested.

Guess what? I didn’t listen.

I signed the contract.

World tour. Three months. Four Continents. One hundred shows.

My name is Indigo Bellamy, and I sold my soul to a tattooed god.

Problem was, my soul wasn’t enough for Alex Winslow. He ended up taking my body, too.

Then he took my heart.

Then he took my all.

 

 

Midnight Blue is the first book I have read by L.J. I truly do live under a rock because I just recently learned of her and all these amazing books she writes. I am not blaming myself for not knowing who she – I am blaming my fellow book nerds for not mentioning her to me before now. RUDE PEOPLE!! LOL

When I heard that Midnight Blue was a rockstar romance, I didn’t hesitate. They are my weakness and I love these books. Music and books are my two must-haves in life so when they come together, it’s euphoric to me. LOL Midnight Blue lived up to its hype for me.

“He scarred me. I decorated him. But at the end of the day, we were both tainted by each other.”

Alex is a true rockstar asshole. He wasn’t born that way, he just slowly started blaming everyone around him for his problems. I can’t even say they were problems, they were just problems to him because he was doing what everyone else wanted and expected. He drowned himself in those problems with drugs and alcohol which eventually landed him in rehab. His manager and PR are now gearing up for his world tour to jumpstart his career again. Alex is wild card so they hire him a nanny; they actually hired quite a few, but none ever stayed for more than 3 days because Alex is a bonafide, grade A asshole. Til Indie.

Indie is quite the unique character. She’s an introvert with her own style. But she’s now in a situation where she needs money and lots of it. Pronto. She lives with her brother and his family and life has been giving them nothing but lemons lately. But Indie is determined to change that. So she signs the contract of a lifetime knowing it will change everything for them.

Alex and Indie are highly charged fuses. Indie pushes Alex in ways he’s not used to. She doesn’t back down to him and refuses to be a doormat to his ego. Alex is too full of himself to see how much of an asshole he is so he continues to bate and push Indie. But he does eventually wear her down, something she herself struggles with. They are two wounded people who struggle to recover from their mangled and wrecked hearts.

“Alex Winslow was a broken vase. But I wasn’t the glue. I was the stupid cleaner who was about to try to pick up the pieces, and inevitably, get cut.”

I truly felt so much with this story. Shen writes extremely captivating characters with an invigorating story. I have so many quotes and highlights on my kindle, I don’t even know where to start. This book had me so wrapped up in these characters, I never wanted it to end. And there is so much more to this book than just rockstar and his “hanny” (hot nanny as Alex dubbed her). You just have to read to find out for yourself.

Alex and Indie create quite the storm of emotions between one another. They hate each other, yet crave one another so desperately. They are a disaster of epic proportions waiting to explode. The angst in this book is almost unbearable. It is heavy with emotions but damn worth it all.

Midnight Blue is not a sweet romance. It’s not the perfect love story either. It’s the story of fighting for the love you thought you’d never find. Midnight Blue is scarred and beautiful.

“Two souls collided on a took dark floor in a graveyard for the stars.
Funny, when you walked into my life I thought I’d be the one leaving all the scars.” 

 

 

Excerpt:

Nat’s words came back and haunted me like a bad haircut from the eighties. An irrational need to check the goods took over me. It wasn’t like he minded. According to the rumors, his dick had seen more cameras than Kendall Jenner. Slowly—so painfully slowly—my eyes drifted down his sinewy body. I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Whatever I had in mind, though, didn’t come close to the real thing. Thick, long but not atrocious. With thin veins running through its length.

“Nice view?” he groaned, tucking his junk back into his briefs. His profile was glorious. Strong jaw, pouty lips, eyes like sex…

My eyes snapped up when I realized he was talking to me. “I wasn’t…”

“Looking? Yes, you were. Next time take a picture. It lasts longer.” He rolled his zipper upward and flushed the toilet with the toe of his boot. He turned around and squirted soap into his palm, washing his hands almost violently—rubbing between each finger and scratching his knuckles like he wanted to shed his own skin. When he was done, he looked around for a towel.

I cleared my throat, scrambling to regain my wits. “Longer than the glimpse or longer than your performance?”

Casually—so unbearably casually—he wiped his wet hands over my purple dress. I gasped, moving sideways. It looked like he was about to open the door and get out, but before I had the chance to yell at him for using me as a human towel, he slammed me against the wall, bracing both his arms above my head and pinning me to my spot. I let out a shriek of surprise at the sudden proximity.

Alex Winslow is touching me. Willingly, my surprisingly pitiful brain squealed.

Heat rolled off his body, making my back arch and my breath catch in my throat.

“Let’s make one thing clear—I could fuck you to a point of numbness without even breaking a sweat if I wanted to. Now, careful, New Girl. If you don’t keep your distance from me, I think I just might.”

xo, Zach by Kendall Ryan…Blog Tour & Review

 

 

 

The first time we met was at a party.

Your ex arrived to show off the person he’d left you for last month, and you asked me to pretend to be your date.

I was more than happy to help. You were attractive, smart and witty–and that kiss we shared? It left me wanting you for days.

The second time we met was in my office on campus where we were both surprised to discover you were the new master’s degree student in poetry that I would be working with. You promised to be professional. I did no such thing.

The late nights and intense study sessions spent alongside you majorly throw me off my game. I want you, and I fight with myself daily over this fact.

I know I’m crass, that my sexual innuendos and dirty mouth annoy you, but I live for those two bright spots of color in your cheeks. If that’s the only reaction I can get out of you, I’ll gladly take it.

You hate Mondays so every Monday I slip an anonymous poem into your bag and your smile gets me through the week.

I think I’m falling for you, and I know it’s wrong. I know that I’m only supposed to be your adviser and nothing more, but here’s the thing. I think you’re falling for me too.

xo, Zach

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!

This book reminds me so much of why I fell in love with Kendall’s writing many years ago. This is the what I expect from Kendall Ryan, what I love about her writing; the stories that I fall deeply into and never want them to end.

The blurb says it all – he’s her advisor yet they both want so much more. While Zach has no problems in expressing what he wants, Poppy is extremely reluctant to go beyond student and advisor. There is no shortage of sexual tension between these two but they do a great job of trying to maintain that platonic relationship.

Kendall writes a very enthralling story that you feel yourself getting caught up in. Zach holds nothing back with his openness, while Poppy puts up all the stops because of this or that; it’s like a neurotic dance between them that just gets more intense with each passing moment.

I love the buildup and how everything plays out. There isn’t a singular moment that finally has things falling into place, it’s just how it was all suppose to happen. While Poppy did give me whiplash with her back and forth, you totally understood where she is coming from. If she gave in, she wasn’t just putting her own future in jeopardy. But damn it’s extremely tempting to give into that that temptation, even just once, just to get a taste.

Yea – this book was perfect for me. Nothing was too fast-paced, the timing of everything just flowed perfectly. You want a swoon-worthy man with the perfect amount of sexiness, I highly-recommend xo, Zach. You won’t be able to say no to him.

Bad For You by J. Daniels…Blog Tour & Review

 

 

 

“If you’re a fan of Kristen Ashley, then you will love this book.” -Aestas Book Blog on Four Letter Word

 

He didn’t want to be bad. He just didn’t have a choice…

Shayla Perkins isn’t the kind of girl who makes the same mistake twice, especially when it comes to Sean “Stitch” Molina. So when he gives her the world’s biggest rejection, that’s it–she’s done. Until the sexy, silent, unavailable Sean makes Shay a very personal offer. Of course, it still doesn’t mean he’s interested in her. Or does it?

Sean has done things in life. Bad things. And he’s paid the price. All he wants now is to make up for his past by doing good in the present. And no one deserves more good than Shay. Beautiful on the inside and out, Shay is the kind of woman who should be cared for and protected–especially from a man like Sean. He’s tried to keep his feelings for her in check, but a single, reckless impulse pulls them closer than ever before.

 

Soon the two are sharing their biggest dreams and satisfying their deepest desires. But what will happen if the only way to truly give each other what they want most…is to let each other go?

 

“The perfect mix of funny, hot and heartwarming. I enjoyed it immensely!” –Mia Sheridan, New York Times bestselling author, on Four Letter Word

Oh Ms. Daniels, lovely Jessica, you really surprised me with this book.

“You will suffer for love.”

Bad for You is the third book is Daniels’ Dirty Deeds series but can be read as a standalone. And let me tell you, it’s one you want to read.

A broken hero and selfless heroine – I am hooked!! I won’t go into much detail on this book because I feel the blurb gives you enough to know what you’re getting into and anything more would be giving away too much.

Sean feels that he is not worthy of anything – not love, not his kids, nothing. He wants all that but because of his past, he believes that those things are what he can never have.

Shay a feisty and persuasive little thing. She doesn’t back down from anything and has made her mission to prove to Sean that he is worthy of anything, including her. And when she realizes that she’s truly not over Sean, things get even more intense.

“Love is sacrifice, Sean”…”It’s putting your own happiness second.”

I can’t tell you how much I love all these characters. Daniels not wrote an amazing story, but she wrote some strong and real characters. Let me tell you, Val is one hell of a woman. I love that she and Shay hit it off so well and that even when everything was discovered, nothing changed, neither felt differently about the other. And to me, that shows such strong and confident women in a very tough situation. And Sean – omg, my heart hurt for him. I love that Daniels has Sean come across as this tough and brooding guy but once he allows someone in, you see that he’s really just hiding his pain – that he does have the most genuine heart. And that heart was beaten down so many times in his past; he’s been through a lot and does deserve everything.

I love this story, I really do. I was sucked in the from the start and loved how it all played out. Daniels wrote one hell of story that will captivate you an have you wishing you were Shay.

Desire (Twisted Hearts Duet Book 1) by Max Henry…Release Blitz with Review

 

Cover Design: Max Henry

Release Date: January 24, 2018

Synopsis

 

Four simple rules when you’re a man on parole:

1. Don’t lust after your best friend’s daughter.
2. Don’t get into a physical fight over her.
3. Definitely don’t f*ck her.
4. And whatever you do, don’t fall in love.

I have a bad habit of breaking rules.

Okay have to say that I was FLOORED and I mean FLOORED at the end of Desire! I am still saying to myself “No way did it end like that”. Bella and Zeus are truly the definition of forbidden love. Bella is only eighteen years old and has always had a crush on Zeus, who by the way is a young friend of her father’s. Yes, you read that right! These two start out with two things against them. Recently released from prison, Zeus not only finds himself signing divorce papers but also falling in love with Bella. It’s so forbidden that I could not put the book down.

It was such a nice change to read this book as well. For once the characters are flawed and the male character is not a hero by any means. Also, I liked that they are not the typical wealthy people and are simple people working “blue collared” jobs. In a way, it makes them more relatable.

As for the age difference between the two, it did not bother me as much because I know people who are happily married or together with a much larger age difference. I actually found myself wanting them to find that same happiness. The desire between these two are undeniable and as a reader I was routing for them as they fought for their love.

About the Author

 

For as long as she can remember, Max has always had a love of the macabre and thought provoking side to life.

Which probably stands to reason why each of her books takes the reader on an emotional journey that not only promises twists, turns, and suspense, but a heart-wrenching journey where her motto holds true:

Love never comes easy.

When she’s not lost in an alternate world – fuelled by coffee and the odd sneaky bowl of chocolate (preferably M&Ms) – she spends her days as a wife to a dedicated husband, mother to two rambunctious boys, and an obsessive petrolhead enjoying the muscle on display at the local car shows.

Thrive by Aly Martinez…..Blog Tour & Review

BOOK INFORMATION: 


★★NEW RELEASE ALERT★★

THRIVE by Aly Martinez
Amazon: http://amzn.to/2FMqm2M
Audible: http://adbl.co/2m84Mg3
iTunes Audio: http://bit.ly/ThriveAppleAudio

When I was nineteen years old, I was faced with a choice that changed my life.

Keep the safety of what I already knew or risk losing everything with the young, hotheaded soldier who stole my heart.

I chose the wrong man, and for seventeen years, I paid in tears, blood, and shattered dreams for that decision.

Now, there’s a man in my house, holding a gun to my head on the order of my ex-husband—given from his prison cell. 

That hotheaded soldier I was too afraid to choose? He’s now a six-foot-three wall of muscle who works at the country’s most premier bodyguard agency. I’ve always wanted him, but now, I’ve never needed him more.

It’s the call I’m terrified to make. 

I’m sure he still hates me… Even though I’ve never stopped loving him.

 

Aly Martinez is amazing!! Thrive is a MUST READ!!!

Thrive is the 2nd book in her Guardian Protection series. You can read it as standalone as each book is about a separate couple, but all the men are in each book so you get a glimpse of them throughout the series too.

Before I even go into why I love this book so much, I want to address a few things. This book is not a love triangle – everything that occurs is seventeen years past any sort of love triangle. There is mention of cheating from the past, but it does not occur in the present, which is the majority of this book’s plot. If you have any issues with cheating at all – do not read this book and then give it a bad rating because you can’t handle the cheating – that is disrespectful to the author and makes you look like an ass for reading something you couldn’t handle to begin with.

Ok, now that that is off my chest, on to my review. 🙂

Mira and Jeremy had a wonderful friendship that started 17 years ago but was destroyed when she chose his best friend. They have been lived with that choice and moved on with their lives. Jeremy is now working for Guardian Protection and never expected to have Mira enter his life again.

Mira is trying to pick up the pieces of her life after her now ex-husband ends up in prison and destroyed the one thing she was proud of, her bar. She and her best friend, Whitney are getting ready to move into a new apartment when Mira’s past comes barreling into her living room. With no idea who or where to turn to, she does something unexpectedly – she contacts Jeremy in hopes he’ll help her out.

Yea, we’ll just say their reunion was all roses and smiley faces. LOL Jeremy has a lot of pent up anger, hatred and aggression for how shit went down seventeen years ago and time has not eased any of that one bit. But behind all the animosity, is the love and adoration he once felt for Mira too. Mira too regrets how things went down but she has no idea how Jeremy feels – something neither ever expressed to the other before. And that’s just the beginning of this amazing book!!

There is a lot of emotions in this book and they are intense!! Everything is complicated and nothing is easy. What I loved most was seeing how deeply Mira and Jeremy truly loved one another. With all the hurt, anger and betrayal, their love was still a bright beacon. I loved that they pushed one another to the edge because it forced them to own what they felt and thought; it made them grow up in their relationship.

Aly writes some damn amazing characters. The interactions and banter between everyone, felt so natural and real. Mira and Jeremy had a lot to overcome and they key was communication – something they never realized they lacked to a degree until everything was finally coming out in the open. The ups and downs in this book were so worthwhile and made the journey even better. And let me tell you, there was no shortage of sexiness in this book – WOW!!

I cannot wait for the next book in this series. Aly has been on the edge of my seat wanting to read about each of these men in Guardian Protection. Go start this series if you haven’t done so already!
