Release Day Blitz…Release Me by K.A. Tucker

by Courtney

Release Me by K.A. Tucker is now live!

Release Me is the first book in the highly addictive Wolf Hotel Mermaid Beach series, a spin-off of the Wolf Hotel series.

I may not know much, but I am an expert in two things:

Heartbreak.

And hedonism.

I’ve been chasing escape from one bed to the next, finding distraction in all the wrong places.

Like with my roommate’s sister.

And my billionaire boss’s lover.

You could say I’m lucky in lust but very unlucky in the other L-word.

By the time I arrive in Mermaid Beach, Florida, I’ve decided I’m done with flings. I’m over chasing women I can’t have.

Until I meet Sloane Parker, the woman who has made it her mission to ruin the new Wolf Hotel.

A hotel I’m supposed to help manage, by the way. Yeah. Me, Ronan Lyle, Director of Facilities.

Don’t you dare laugh.

I don’t need another forbidden woman in my life, especially one who could derail my future.

But what I want? That’s a totally different story.

Please note: This series is intended for a mature audience.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Hollow by Alta Hensley

by Courtney

You don’t choose the Hunt. The Hunt chooses you.

Hollow by Alta Hensley is now live!

No body, no crime.

That’s what they say on Heathens Hollow, where the line between desire and obsession blurs with each tide.

I return to my family’s isolated island estate to recover, to heal. To escape the prison my life has become.

The maze calls to me with its twisting pathways and secrets buried beneath the soil.

And so do they.

Two men, tangled in a storm of their own making.

Damiano, the groundskeeper who knows every hidden path through the maze.

Flint, the bartender whose eyes hold truths about the island I’m not ready to face.

Former lovers. Current enemies. Both now inexplicably tied to me.

As The Hunt approaches, Heathens Hollow’s most dangerous ritual begins.

Masked pursuers. Willing prey. Ancient traditions that care nothing for outsiders.

Some things should stay buried in Heathens Hollow.

But on this island, secrets always find their way to the surface.

Hollow is book three in the interconnected standalone series, Heathens Hollow from USA Today bestselling author, Alta Hensley.

Check out the series here!

https://mybook.to/HeathensHollow

Bravo, Alta!! I absolutely enjoyed this!!

I did not (very sadly) read the first two book in this series but it did not at all damper by enjoyment of this book. I definitely have this burning need to go back and read them though.

Briar has returned home and while she’s trying to get out of her current “lifestyle”, she decides to host a party at her family’s estate. Along the way, she connects with Damiano and Flint and so begins the story.

It was really entertaining to see the push and pull between Damiano and Flint. And then add Briar into that mix – perfection. For me personally, this was the only area that I wanted more. Alta gives readers what we need, but I just felt like we could’ve had more. But I also understand why we didn’t as it wouldn’t have fit the overall vibe of the story. It’s also why it didn’t hurt the story for me in anyway, I am just being selfish in wanting more from these three in that MMF aspect. LOL

Alta’s writing style makes you feel like you are right in the thick of things with these characters. The pacing was perfect and everything flowed naturally from the romance aspect to the haunting parts. I loved everything about this book.

Meet Alta

Alta Hensley is a USA Today bestselling author of dark romance where the villain always gets the happily ever after.

Twisted, clever, and occasionally unhinged, her books deliver morally gray anti-heroes, sharp-tongued heroines, and happily ever afters that taste even sweeter after a little ruin. With a signature blend of grit, wit, and heat, Alta’s stories prove one thing: villains deserve love too.

Alta lives on the foggy coast of Oregon with her husband, two daughters, and a pair of dogs who think they’re in charge. When she’s not writing redemption for the irredeemable, she’s walking the coastline or sipping craft beer in foggy little bars that feel like they belong in her books.

LITTLE NIGHTMARE

Rachel Van Dyken

Release Date: June 5

Available in Kindle Unlimited

Not all monsters hide under the bed. Some guard your heart while plotting your ruin.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken comes a gripping standalone mafia romance set in the electrifying world of the Eagle Elite series.

Welcome to your final dream.

Don’t worry. I’ll keep you safe.

I promise. Just close your eyes.

Sleep.

Grief has five stages, they say. But in the mafia, there’s only one: survival.

The day I buried my boyfriend, the Families replaced him with the man who rejected me four years ago—Ace “Matchstick” De Lange. Cold. Calculated. Deadly. He has the bedside manner of a serial killer and the looks of a fallen angel. And now, he’s my shadow, ensuring I don’t end up in the grave beside the man who died for me.

I despise that I’m the one left behind. I loathe how Ace provokes me, pulling me from the abyss of my sorrow. But most of all, I hate that the only piece I have left of my dead boyfriend is something others would kill to possess.

When Ace uncovers my secret, there’s only one solution: marriage to the devil himself to protect the legacy of the one who had no choice.

I vow never to love him. He promises he’ll never love me.

He’s a means to an end—the only one who can stand against my father and live to tell the tale.

He claims his life is mine, but I don’t want it.

I tell him I’ll never be his.

Ace’s response? A chilling, “We’ll see.”

But what happens when everything you believed was a lie? When the only one who can free you from your nightmare threatens to drag you deeper into the darkness?

Some families are tested and break under the weight of the mafia. The De Langes broke… then gathered the pieces and rose.

Grab Your Copy!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DGY762SM

4.5 Stars

Diving into RVD’s mafia series is akin to coming home – a home filled with chaotic love and fiercely protected.

Little Nightmare is the second book in the Rise of the DeLanges series, a spin-off from her Eagle Elite series. You need zero prior knowledge to that series or her other spin-off, Mafia Royals, but you will have the need to read them after you finish this one.

Ace & Raven are from two different families within the mafia and had a previous run-in that left some bitter, unresolved issues. And now, Ace finds himself as Raven’s bodyguard. What could ever possibly go wrong!?

Rachel delivers a story that’s riddled with snarky interactions and two individuals dealing with their own struggles. Ace stole the limelight for me in this story though. His character arc was written so incredibly well, it became impossible for me to not feel everything he went through.

Little Nightmare is a fantastic second book in The Rise of De Langes series. While I felt the ending was a bit rushed, the majority of this book was perfection.

Previous readers of Rachel’s mafia books will know exactly what to expect in her books. New readers will get to experience her intense, darker side of writing and see why so many of us live by the quote, “Blood In, No Out.”

Release Day Blitz & Review…You Were Never Not Mine by Monica Murphy

by Courtney

You Were Never Not Mine by Monica Murphy is now live!

She should hate him at first sight…

August Lancaster is a menace. His power at Lancaster Prep is legendary, and no one dares cross him. He’s a ruling senior, and everyone wants to be his friend, or at the very least stay in his good graces.

When he sets his sights on me my freshman year, he makes me wish I never existed. His constant, unwanted attention is humiliating. He makes me burn with both anger and desire. Even though I try to give as good as I get, it isn’t until he graduates that I can actually breathe.

Now I’m finally at college, and it’s everything I want it to be. New people, new experiences, new Sinclair. Until I discover that August attends the same university. When he starts flirting with me at a frat party, I realize he doesn’t even recognize me. At first, I’m humiliated all over again, but I quickly decide to make it my mission to remind August f’ing Lancaster exactly who I am.

I start running into him everywhere. Problem is, he can’t stop talking to me. Kissing me. Touching me. It’s like he’s obsessed with me, and soon enough…I’m worried I’m becoming obsessed with him, too.

But can I trust him? Does someone like August ever truly change? Or is he going to ruin me yet again?

Amazon: https://bit.ly/40aejGg

Goodreads: https://bit.ly/3WaQNb5

You Were Never Not Mine – the final (maybe) book in the Lancaster Prep generation and Monica gives her readers a impactful story.

August and Sinclair’s story is quite the doozy. It’s told from both their POVs and has some flashbacks to their past when they had their first encounter.

Monica paces this story perfectly – it’s fast paced with a very engaging plot that is very character driven. I have to say that August made this book outstanding for me. You have to read it to find out why.

I have read this entire generation (the first Lancaster Prep series and this spin-off with their children) and I absolutely love it. I love Monica’s writing style as it matches perfectly with this world and the characters she has created.

You can easily read this book without having any previous knowledge of any other books, but do know that it will make you want to read the other books in this world.

Meet Monica

Monica Murphy is a New York Times, USA Today, and international bestselling romance author. Her books have been translated in almost a dozen languages and have sold over two million copies worldwide. Both a traditionally published and independently published author, she writes young adult, new adult and contemporary romance.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Sweet Surrender by K. Bromberg

by Courtney

Sweet Surrender by K. Bromberg is now live!

A sexy, rock star, marriage of convenience romance by New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg.

Jase Gizmodo is the wild card of the world-famous band BENT. He drums like a legend, lives like a rebel, and attracts headlines like a magnet. But when his recklessness causes a no-nonsense judge to threaten the band’s upcoming international tour, he needs a quick fix—and proof that he’s settling down might just do the trick.

Enter Hendrix Wright. Cookie queen. Small business owner. And barely hanging on. Her dream bakery is on the brink of closing its doors thanks to her ex’s betrayal, and she needs a miracle. Who knew a chance meeting with a charming, enigmatic, and incredibly sexy stranger in a coffee shop would change all that?

So when that stranger, Jase, offers her a deal—a temporary marriage for the cameras in exchange for the money to save her bakery—Hendrix should run. Fast. But instead, she finds that the more time they spend faking wedded bliss, the more real their chemistry feels.

Because falling for a rockstar was never part of the plan.

But surrendering? That might be the sweetest risk of all.

Sweet Surrender is the best description (and obvious title) for this book.

Jase and Hendrix could not be more different from one another if they tried. But she’s what he needs and he’s got something she needs. What could go wrong!? LOL

I really enjoyed the banter between these two. It showed not only their chemistry, but who they are as individuals. We got to see another side of Jase that only Hendrix was able to pull out of him.

I don’t want to say much because it gives away the dynamics between these two and their story. I enjoyed the forced proximity and how these two handled it and what it created between them.

Sweet Surrender is more than just a rockstar romance; it’s an emotional story that readers will absolutely love.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Boys of Lake Chapel: The Complete Series by Abby Millsaps

by Courtney

Boys of Lake Chapel: The Complete Series by Abby Millsaps is now live!

A complete enemies to lovers sports romance series from bestselling author Abby Millsaps. Includes Too Safe, Too Fast, Too Far, Too Sweet, the bonus novella Decker the Halls, and three brand new bonus scenes featuring Joey and her boys.

After years of living in survival mode, I’m finally hitting rewind on the story of my life. There’s nothing standing in the way of my bright future at Lake Chapel University.

Or so I thought.

Being ambushed by four devastatingly attractive football players wasn’t part of my plan. Ironically, they seem just as stupefied by me as I am of them.

Now Decker Crusade thinks I saw something I shouldn’t have, and he’s decided the only way to control the narrative is to control me. There’s nowhere to run, considering Decker and his boys live in a lakeside mansion that can only be accessed by boat.

Apparently, I live here now, too.

They think they can keep me on their isle indefinitely, but there’s something about me they’ve sorely underestimated: my will to finally live.

This box set includes over 1,200 pages of binge-worthy romance that concludes with an epic HEA for Joey and her boys. The Boys of Lake Chapel Box Set includes the following titles:
*Too Safe
*Too Fast
*Too Far
*Too Sweet
*Decker the Halls
*Plus three brand new bonus scenes

Sometimes being late to the party isn’t so bad. And in the case, being late to read this series paid off because I would’ve cried having to wait for each book to release.
And I got to read the novella plus a few extras with this – perfection!

This entire collection of all 3 books plus all the extra goodies is perfection!! I will write a review for each book under their respective books but let me tell you – Abby knows how to write a phenomenal series and keep each book engaging and intriguing for the reader.

I love how each book allowed the reader to see how Abby and her boys relationships develop – not only together but her with each of them individually. There are some heavy topics that in this series but Abby handles them with grace while still keeping it real and raw.

I read her other series, Boys of South Chapel before I read this and I loved seeing the connections between the two series. They are completely separate reads but it’s always more enjoyable when you see how they can intertwine.

And those bonus pieces we get in this box set – LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! As I said, I am so glad that I read this entire series in one big read.

Abby is my go-to for coming of age, college romance series. And she writes Reverse Harem/Why Choose so incredibly well.

BUY THIS BOX SET!!

Meet Abby

Abby Millsaps is an author and storyteller who’s been obsessed with writing romance since middle school. In eighth grade, she failed to qualify for the Power of the Pen State Championships because all her submissions contained the same theme: young people falling in love. #LookAtHerNow

She’s best known for writing unapologetically angsty romance that causes emotional damage for her readers. Abby prides herself in writing authentic characters while weaving mental health, chronic illness, and neurodiverse representation into the fabric of her stories.

Abby met her husband at a house party the summer before her freshman year of college. He had a secret pizza stashed in the trunk of his car that he was saving for a midnight snack–how was she supposed to resist that level of golden retriever energy and preparedness? When Abby isn’t writing, she’s reading, traveling, and raising her three daughters.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Bracing The Storm by J.C. Reed

by Courtney

★★ Bracing The Storm is LIVE! ★★

Buy now for $2.99 (for a limited time) or read it for FREE in KU

“I don’t trust my instincts around the man behind the wheel. He’s too good-looking. Too confident. Too everything I’ve always tried to avoid in a man”

“He’s perfection. Everything about him is, from his looks to his singing and the way he carries himself.”

From New York Times Bestselling Author, J.C. Reed, comes Bracing The Storm, a small-town, enemies-lovers romance!

The guy I just met at the mansion I inherited from a complete stranger? He’s drop-dead gorgeous. Sexy. And rude with a Capital R.

Turns out he’s not the hot gardener as I wrongly assumed.

He’s not only a famous rockstar who grew up in the house, he’s also ready to fight for it. And being both hot-headed and Irish, he’s going to fight hard and dirty.

I’m not moving out. Full Stop.

But neither is he.

So we agree on some simple rules.

We’ll play roommates for a while. What could possibly go wrong?

Living together with an Irish Hothead will surely cause a major storm.

Let’s hope bracing that storm won’t turn into a hurricane.

Author’s note – This is a romance book with a storyline that doesn’t fit into one single book. It is book one in a duet, so beware of the cliff. If you can’t handle cliffhangers, stop at the end of chapter 25 and let it be your temporary HEA.

A Good Book by Jewel E. Ann is now live!

Gabriella Jacobson has one goal for her freshman year of college: Get Matthew Cory to fall in love with her.

Lucky for Gabby, her best friend, Ben, is attending the same college on a music scholarship. He is the perfect resource—girls love him, and he’s more experienced with relationships than her, since she’s never had a boyfriend.

When Gabby panics before her first date with Matt, she begs Ben to show her how to kiss. But Ben has a secret, one he’s been keeping from Gabby for years. He’s in love with her.

One kiss turns into two, leaving Gabby confused and scared that their friendship might not survive the unforeseen emotions. She avoids Ben until something unexpected changes his life forever, and he’s forced to drop out of school.

Gabby tries to contact him, but he won’t respond. And Matthew Cory, her sister’s ex-boyfriend and handsome law student, is ready to fill the void Ben left behind.

Now that Gabby has the man she thought she wanted, can she forget about the boy who kissed her twice?

Another phenomenal story by Jewel. I know, I know – I say that with every book she writes. But it’s so completely true. And none of her stories ever repeat anything – not one character is alike and not one storyline is ever the same.

A Good Book is a beautiful and emotional, coming of age story between two best friends; Gabby and Ben. These two have grownup together and are now going off to the same college together.

I want to say so much, but know that I will send up spoiling the story if I do. Jewel always know how to write stories that pull at your emotions and has you feeling everything her characters endure.

While this story is told in dual POV’s, it’s mostly from Gabby’s. I wanted more from Ben so I could understand his though process on things more and not seeing it threw Gabby’s viewpoint. And that is my only reason for not giving this 5 stars, but it did not hurt the overall story.

I loved this story so much. It felt very authentic and real and I know that readers will connect more to these characters and their story because of that. Another fantastic read from Jewel!

Release Day Blitz & Review…Breathtaking by Bella Matthews

by Courtney

Breathtaking by Bella Matthews is now live!

A surprise pregnancy, marriage of convenience, billionaire romance from #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling author Bella Matthews.

Pushing Maddox Beneventi away was the hardest thing I’ve ever done . . . until the day I showed up at his doorstep clutching a positive pregnancy test.

If you’d have told me we’d be married a month later, I’d have laughed in your face. Because this tall, dark, devastatingly handsome billionaire couldn’t possibly be my happily ever after. Even if he was the only one I’d ever truly wanted.

Fairytales don’t always come true—especially for a princess.

But this isn’t a fairytale.

This is the story of how Maddox Beneventi saved me.
How he fought for me.
For us.

Maybe one day, I’ll tell our child the truth behind our so-called happy ending.

About the pain . . . the devastation and destruction that was left in our wake.

How hard we fought. First each other, then everyone else.

One day, I’ll share that the price we paid was the pain left etched on our souls.

But that day?

That day isn’t today.

Breathtaking is the sixth and final book in the Red Lips and White Lies series and Bella ends is on the best high note!!

I devoured this book as quickly as I could but also forced myself to slow down because I wanted to savor this story.

Lennon and Maddox’s story is one for the books. I will not give one iota as to what happens – just know that Bella takes us on hell of an emotional and angsty journey.

I never like saying, “this book has so much going on” because I don’t want to turn off readers thinking it’s too much, BUT alot does go on, but it’s written so well and everything just blends and unfolds beautifully that it’s not overwhelming.

Breathtaking is a an absolute MUST READ!!!

Release Day Blitz & Review…Tourist Trap by Morgan Elizabeth

by Courtney

Tourist Trap by Morgan Elizabeth is now live!

Bestselling author Morgan Elizabeth delivers Tourist Trap, a small town, age gap, grumpy sunshine, summer romance based in Seaside Point, a shore town in New Jersey.

Claire:

A summer in a tourist trap is exactly what I need. A single summer of fun before I finally buckle down and decide on what I want to do with the rest of my life. So when my best friend suggested I spend the summer as a lifeguard in Seaside Point I jumped at the opportunity.

I was ready for a summer of uncomplicated fun, so imagine my surprise when my ex’s older brother owns the house I want to rent a room in. Not only is Miles the guy I used to have the biggest crush on, he refuses to give me the time of day.

Miles:

I have enough on my plate trying to save up what I need to buy my brother out of the house we inherited by the end of the summer. I definitely don’t need the distraction of my brother’s gorgeous ex prancing around my house. But for some reason I still can’t understand, I agreed to let her rent a room and now she’s prancing around in her little bathing suits, flirting with me endlessly, and making me a summer bucket list because she thinks I can’t have fun.

I don’t mess with tourists, and I surely don’t mess with my brother’s exes, but just like the moon and its effect on tides, I can’t escape her pull on me. Will I be able to survive this summer with her, or will I get distracted and lose it all?

This a phenomenal summer romance read!!

If you read the blurb, then you know what you are getting when you jump into this book. I won’t rehash that or possibly give away any parts that were fun uncovering while I read.

I will tell you that this book moves at the perfect and you will love these characters. Claire is an open book and doesn’t hold back on how she feels. Miles is a true gentleman and I have so much respect for this man. What I loved most about them both – they are relatable; they are normal people like us.

I loved all the interactions between these two and I literally smiled the entire time reading this book. It’s an absolutely amazing read and as I said, perfect for the summer.

Definitely buy this one!!

Meet Morgan Elizabeth

Morgan is a born and raised Jersey girl, living there with her two boys, toddler daughter, and mechanic husband. She’s addicted to iced espresso, barbecue chips, and Starburst jellybeans. She usually has headphones on, listening to some spicy audiobook or Taylor Swift. There is rarely an in between.

Writing has been her calling for as long as she can remember. There’s a framed ‘page one’ of a book she wrote at seven hanging in her childhood home to prove the point. Her entire life she’s crafted stories in her mind, begging to be released but it wasn’t until recently she finally gave them the reins.

I’m so grateful you’ve agreed to take this journey with me.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Unhinged by Jane Henry

by Courtney

Unhinged by Jane Henry is now live!

From USA Today Bestselling Author Jane Henry comes a dark Bratva stalker romance.

Anissa Laurent is a ghost—a master of deception, a woman who has slipped through the cracks of the underworld. Untraceable. Untouchable. Unclaimed. Until me.

I made it my life’s mission to find her, drag her back where she belongs, and punish her for her betrayal.

I traced every false identity until I found her, but I took my time. I studied the way she breathes, the way she moves, what she loves, and what she hates.

She thought she could run. She thought she could hide. She thought she could get away with betraying my family.

But I’m not a man who lets go of what’s mine.

She was meant to be broken, to be owned, meant to carry my mark in the most primal way possible. I won’t just take her body—she’ll have my baby, too.

But I didn’t expect her to be as broken as I am. I didn’t expect her to fight like she has nothing left to lose. And now, I don’t just want to cage her—I want to own her.

She’ll curse me. She’ll hate me. She’ll claw and bite and scream my name in fury and in pleasure. But in the end, it doesn’t matter. Because there is no escape from her past… and definitely not from me.

What to expect in Unhinged:

Stalking

Kidnapping

BDSM

Breeding kink

Caging

A snarky AF heroine and OTT alpha hero

Found family and a guaranteed HEA

Jane Henry has quickly become one of my favorite mafia/Bravata authors.

Matvei and Anissa are exactly what this title says, Unhinged. They both excel at their jobs and have some very unusual tastes.

Matvei has been looking for Anissa ever since she shamed his family. Anissa has been hiding out under the protection of the Irish mob, but once a deal is settled between the Russians and the Irish, Anissa is free game – she just doesn’t it.

I loved how everything played out and how these two played the ultimate game of cat and mouse. But it’s once these two find some common ground, secrets and lies unfold and they find themselves fighting more than just each other.

Jane wrote this story flawlessly. There is zero pause in the intensity, and the spicy scenes are perfection. Jane does not hold back on anything and it just make this story all the more intense.

Matvei and Anissa are one of my favorite couples in this series and that is saying something because I have thoroughly enjoyed every book in this series so far. I am overly excited for the next book.

Meet Jane

Fueled by dark chocolate and even darker coffee, USA Today bestselling author Jane Henry writes what she loves to read— character-driven, unputdownable romance featuring dominant alpha males and the powerful heroines who bring them to their knees. She’s believed in the power of love and romance since Belle won over the beast, and finally decided to write love stories of her own.
