Release Day Blitz…Landon & Shay by Brittainy C. Cherry

You know what they say…

All’s fair in the game of love and war—especially the heartbreaks.

Landon & Shay: Part One, an all-new must read enemies to lovers romance by Brittainy C. Cherry, is available now!

Shay Gable hated my guts, and I hated hers, too.

We went out of our way to avoid one another at all times. When she came my direction, I went the other. When we locked eyes, she’d turn and walk away.

All of that changed the day I was presented with a challenge. It started out as a stupid bet: make Shay fall in love with me before I fell in love with her first.

That was an easy bet for me to win.

I didn’t love, I hardly liked.

Yet slowly the game started to shift. Shay made me crave things I never knew I wanted like love, happiness, and her.

The closer we grew, the more she challenged my darkness, and the parts I kept locked away.

The hurts.

The pains.

The truth.

The game between us became too real, our feelings intermixed, and the risks of hurting one another grew higher.

But you know what they say…

All’s fair in the game of love and war—especially the heartbreaks.

Release Day Blitz & Review….Gypsy King by Devney Perry

The former Tin Gypsy

motorcycle club has everyone in Clifton Forge, Montana convinced they’ve locked their clubhouse doors and ripped off their patches. Everyone but Bryce Ryan. There’s more happening at the club’s garage than muscle car restorations and Harley rebuilds. Her instincts are screaming there’s a story—one she’s going to tell.

As the new owner of the small town’s newspaper, Bryce is hungry for more than birth announcements and obituaries. When a woman is brutally killed and all signs point to the Tin Gypsies, Bryce is determined to expose the club and their leader, Kingston “Dash” Slater, as murderers.

Bryce bests Dash match after match, disappointed her rugged and handsome opponent turns out to be an underwhelming adversary. Secrets are exposed. Truths defeat lies. Bryce is poised to win this battle in a landslide.

Then Dash breaks all the rules and tips the scales.

One kiss, and she’s fighting to save more than just her story.

She’s fighting to save her heart from the Gypsy King.

I only recently stumbled upon Devney and her amazing writing and I am truly kicking myself for not reading her sooner. However, I am so unbelievably grateful that I was given the opportunity to read an arc of her first book in her next series.

Let me just get one thing off my chest first – even I had not read Devney before, this cover would have me ripping the book open and diving in immediately, no blurb needed. These are the covers that I love and crave (I am in the minority of not loving the abs and such on covers). Anywho – this cover is definitely more gritty than the story, but it definitely gives you an insight to who the Tin Gypsy’s were. I still love it and the story!!

I’d love to say more than the blurb, but I can’t for fear of just blabbing the whole story. I love the small-town vibe that Devney creates. You can see that the MC has been doing their best to stay on the right side of the law and the townsfolk love them instead of fearing them. It’s what keeps Bryce digging for more.

The chemistry between Bryce and Dash is crazy and off the charts. They are like water and oil but combust like no other. These two don’t deny but see it as nothing more than an itch to scratch, in the beginning. Let’s just things just got hotter and hotter between these two.

Tin Gypsy definitely surprised me. Even though I wanted more grit with the MC and their former members, Devney still delivered one hell of a suspenseful story. She kept me intrigued and truly pondering how this was all going to work out.

Devney starts off this new series with a bang and I have no doubt will continue to deliver intriguing stories with characters that will drive those stories. Definitely a series you want to read.

Devney is a USA Today bestselling author. Born and raised in Montana, she loves writing books set in her treasured home state. After working in the technology industry for nearly a decade, she abandoned conference calls and project schedules to enjoy a slower pace at home with her husband and two sons. Writing one book, let alone many, was not something she ever expected to do. But now that she’s discovered her true passion for writing romance, she has no plans to ever stop. Devney loves hearing from readers!

Release Blitz & Review….Practice To Deceive by Olivia Evans

🔥🔥 NEW RELEASE 🔥🔥

PRACTICE TO DECEIVE by Olivia Evans is LIVE!

“Sometimes you find a gem. And Practice to Deceive by this new to me author is one of these rare finds.” ~Konny, Goodreads reviewer

I wasn’t always a bad guy, but betrayal has a way of finding your darkest inner demons. Great friends and family weren’t enough to save me. I wanted revenge. When the opportunity presented itself, I felt justified. That’s karma, right?

Turns out, karma has a way of circling back.

If only I hadn’t been so stupid.

If only I’d known what my deceit would cost me.

It will take a lot of work to unravel the damage I’ve done, but I’ll do it. I’ll do anything to keep from losing her.

For the next couple of hours, we lay together on her couch watching reruns, wrapped up in each other. We didn’t talk, but we didn’t need to, we’d done enough of that. Even though there was still so much I was keeping from her, a part of me felt lighter, better. Because now I had one less secret, one less thing hanging over my head. I also knew, now more than ever, that if I wanted to be completely free of all the bullshit, I’d have to come clean. She deserved it. The selfish side of me hugged her tighter, like a child with his favorite blanket. What would my honesty cost me? My subconscious whispered the answer against my ear with a hiss of air…everything.

Practice to Deceive is Olivia Evans newest release. I like to think of Olivia’s writing as a hidden gem amongst the rocks. And this story is one that showcases her talents. Is it her best work, no (that honor still resides with Flutter). But it definitely shows her readers that she still knows how to draw you in and keep you vested in the story.

Brennan and Skylar’s story is an angsty one refiled with loads of secrets, lies and deceit. Brennan is a total dick and truly doesn’t deserve Skylar. However, their story is one I love.

There aren’t any suspenseful events but it is riddled with alot of angst and drama. The reader has a good idea of what is to come but it’s the characters and their stories that keep you rooted in the book.

Olivia once again delivers a captivating story that readers will thoroughly enjoy.

Olivia Evans is a writing obsessed, world traveling, thrill seeking, music junkie. A true Gemini, she follows her heart blindly and lives life to the fullest. Wife. Mother. Oscar Wilde lover. ~To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

Excerpt

Slouched in the back booth of one of those froufrou café places a little later, I pulled out a book and bit into my egg and turkey bacon on an English muffin.

Yes, you heard me right. 1. Egg. 2. Turkey bacon. 3. English muffin.

It was like one of those riddles on the SAT—which, by the way, I wished I hadn’t taken on a whim in high school, because it made this whole NYC bullshit that much easier.

Which two of the above three things does not belong?

If you answered numbers two and three, you win. Ding, ding, ding! Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Who the fuck ate turkey bacon? Not a soul where I came from. And an English muffin was a poor excuse for a biscuit.

Just as I sank my teeth into the last bite of nourishment—because turkey bacon couldn’t possibly be classified as delicious—someone took the table next to me.

Not one for coffee-shop talk, I took a swig of my OJ and lowered my face deeper into my book.

“Cannery Row? We read that in high school,” a female voice said, interrupting my quiet time.

“Hmm.” I nodded without looking up, desperately trying to maintain invisible boundaries.

The smell of fresh coffee filled my nostrils, making me think of my mom. She loved her morning coffee. Every day, she made a big pot and drink her first mug on the wraparound porch, sometimes wrapped in a flannel blanket.

“You okay?” Another interruption.

Looking up, I found the black-haired beauty who’d run into me earlier. “Yeah, why?” Slapping my worn book on the table, I suddenly had beef with the pixie extrovert.

“You were reading, and all of a sudden looked really sad. Sorry, I didn’t mean to pry. It’s just . . .”

I swallowed, wondering how the hell I looked sad, and then I remembered I was thinking of my mom. So I miss her. I’m no less of a man. It doesn’t make me a mama’s boy.

“I’m cool,” I said, rather than explaining the truth.

“We just saw each other.” She paused, obviously wanting to chat more, and I nodded.

“You go to school here?” I finally asked.

“No. It’s nice, though. I was just looking for someone in that building. Didn’t find her.” She whispered the last part to herself. Only listless for a second, she brightened back up. “Are you a grad student?”

“Ha,” I barked. “What? I look too old to play the part of undergrad?”

I was on the bench seat of my booth, my feet kicked out in front of me; she sat opposite me, on the chair side of her table. I wondered if her feet even touched the floor. Compared to my six-foot-two-inch frame, she’d barely hit my chest when we collided earlier.

“Um . . .” She looked away, pink rising in her cheeks.

Leaning forward, I ran my palm over my scruff, trying to remember when I last shaved. “Returning adult student is what I think they call it. School wasn’t really in my cards before, and now it is. So here I am.”

Sitting quietly, she didn’t respond, just raised her brows as if waiting for more of an explanation.

I didn’t give her anything more. My story wasn’t all that interesting, anyway.

Wanderlove is a sweet, young love romance story.

Emerson takes off for New York to find her birth mother. It’s not that her life with her dad was bad, she just has this drive to find her birth mother. It is with a bit of luck that Emerson stumbles upon clues to where here mom could be in the big city.

Price is used to the small-town he’s been raised in, but when an opportunity to go to the city for college comes up, it’s impossible to ass up. It is when Emerson is tryin to find her mother that these two meet and it’s practically happenstance.

As most of you know by now, insta-love stories are really hard sell for me. I really need to be connected to the characters and their situations to truly “see past” the insta-love and sadly for this one, that was not the case. While I have no huge issue with Emerson or Price, I just never felt any connection to them or their stories. There is some angst and drama, but not enough to really give me the depth I wanted. It’s a good read just not a great one, for me.

The story line is sweet and the characters are enjoyable so many will love this story. However, for me, it was just right down the middle enjoyable. The writing, as always, was impeccable. And I know, if the writing was great, why didn’t I love it? An author can have the best writing style, but fail to deliver characters that everyone will connect with. And that’s the case with this book.

Release Blitz & Review…Tempt The Hookup by Natasha Madison

Tempt Series, Book 3

Release Day:
October 22

Eliahn

Getting pregnant after a booze cruise hookup was not what any parent wanted to hear, so I picked up my entire life and moved to Paris to start over. Six years later, I was ready to go home.

I was a single mom and the only thing I knew about my son’s dad was his name—Luca. I didn’t need to know anything else.

The universe had other ideas because on our second day back home, the man came crashing back into my life.

Luca

Attending a welcome back party for my boss’s daughter wasn’t how I wanted to spend my Sunday. But walking in and seeing my hookup from a cruise six years ago knocks me on my ass.

It was a weekend of fun and now I’m seeing a pair of eyes, identical to mine, staring right at me. The boy standing next to her is my son.

Now we’re living next door to each other and attempting to co-parent something that would be easy to do if the pull that brought us together wasn’t still there making things more complicated.

For six years she haunted my dreams, now she’s haunting my every waking moment.

I let her get away once, now I want to make her mine.

This time, permanently.

Only one thing left to do. I have to tempt the hookup.

Buy Your Copy Here:

Tempt the Hookup is book three in the Tempt series but a complete standalone. Natasha is one of those authors who truly knows how to deliver standalone books within a series. There is no underlying plot throughout each book and you don’t need to know any of the other characters to see the connection between everyone.

Eliahn (Eli) and Luca met six years ago on a booze cruise and only first names were exchanged. They never expected to see the other ever again and truly never expected to create anything out of their quick romance.

Fast forward to the present and their chemistry has brought them back together. There is no denying the chemistry between these two. What was so easy six years ago, is still the same now. Plus add in their son and things blend even better. This is just a sugar, sweet romance that readers will devour.

So why the 3 star rating?? Maybe it was the timing for me – it was too sweet, no angst or drama, and too perfect. Yes, there are many readers out there who love these books. And I have no qualms about them, I just need to be in the right mind to read them. My reads need to be deep and dramatized to really enjoy. There was just too much perfection for me to handle in one book. LOL

Natasha delivers a well-written romance, no doubt about it. But for me, it was just too sugary sweet and perfect. We’ll just chalk it up to bad timing on my part and leave it at that.

But definitely go read it – if you love a sweet romantic story, you will love this one.

About the Author:

When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…

Duet Cover Reveal….Always Mine/Always Yours by Kennedy Fox

College parties, beer, and one-night stands—that was my life.

Now, I hunt down criminals, ethically or not, but if no one’s asking, then I’m
not telling. Drinking and women are still included, though I can’t seem to
forget the girl who almost gave me her virginity. She would’ve until I realized
she was too young, and I wasn’t looking to get thrown into jail.

In a twist of fate, we’re reunited, except she’s no longer underage but still
equally off-limits.

After ignoring her relentless advances, she starts to wear me
down. I only have so much willpower when she’s around, running her smart mouth
and showing off her impeccable dance moves.

Just when my restraint starts to crumble, my poor choices finally catch up with
me, putting us both in danger.

There’s no easy way to explain why I betrayed her, but I’ll do whatever it
takes to keep her safe—even if it means breaking her heart.

Twice in a Blue Moon by Christina Lauren…Review

Synopsis:

Sam Brandis was Tate Jones’s first: Her first love. Her first everything. Including her first heartbreak.

During a whirlwind two-week vacation abroad, Sam and Tate fell for each other in only the way that first loves do: sharing all of their hopes, dreams, and deepest secrets along the way. Sam was the first, and only, person that Tate—the long-lost daughter of one of the world’s biggest film stars—ever revealed her identity to. So when it became clear her trust was misplaced, her world shattered for good.

Fourteen years later, Tate, now an up-and-coming actress, only thinks about her first love every once in a blue moon. When she steps onto the set of her first big break, he’s the last person she expects to see. Yet here Sam is, the same charming, confident man she knew, but even more alluring than she remembered. Forced to confront the man who betrayed her, Tate must ask herself if it’s possible to do the wrong thing for the right reason… and whether “once in a lifetime” can come around twice.

With Christina Lauren’s signature “beautifully written and remarkably compelling” (Sarah J. Maas, New York Times bestselling author) prose and perfect for fans of Emily Giffin and Jennifer Weiner, Twice in a Blue Moon is an unforgettable and moving novel of young love and second chances.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners and the “delectable, moving” (Entertainment Weekly) My Favorite Half-Night Stand comes a modern love story about what happens when your first love reenters your life when you least expect it…

My Review:

Hello. My name is Jillian and I’m a huge Christina Lauren junkie. It should come at no surprise that I was beyond excited to get my hands on an advance copy of this book and as soon as I did you can bet your behind I dropped everything to dive in. Well, I’ve gotta give it to this dynamic writing duo….they’ve done it again. I mean is there anything these ladies can’t write?

From start to finish, Tate and Sam’s story pulled me in and didn’t let go. I’m already a sucker for a second chance romance and when CL writes it, forget about it! *swoon* These characters are beyond dynamic and the plot is beyond emotional and I loved every page.

Whether you’re a CL junkie like myself, or new to their work, I know you’ll love Twice in a Blue Moon just as much as I did!

The Beast’s Heart by Leife Shallcross…Review

A sumptuously magical, brand new take on a tale as old as time—read the Beast’s side of the story at long last.

I am neither monster nor man—yet I am both.

I am the Beast.

The day I was cursed to this wretched existence was the day I was saved—although it did not
feel so at the time.

My redemption sprung from contemptible roots; I am not proud of what I did the day her father happened upon my crumbling, isolated chateau. But if loneliness breeds desperation then I was desperate indeed, and I did what I felt I must. My shameful behaviour was unjustly rewarded.

My Isabeau. She opened my eyes, my mind and my heart; she taught me how to be human again.

And now I might lose her forever.

Lose yourself in this gorgeously rich and magical retelling of The Beauty and the Beast that finally lays bare the beast’s heart.

My Review:

Do me a favor, put this book aside until you are convinced you can read it without wanting it to be the Beast’s version of the Disney movie. Because that is not this book. It’s a re-telling of your favorite tale as old as time. Trust me when I say if you go into it hoping to relive the first time you watched Beauty and the Beast, you’ll be disappointed. I was. Until I let go of the movie and read it for the story itself.

Shallcross brings the reader on an emotional journey as she navigates through the crushing loneliness and loss of humanity experienced by the Beast. It’s dark. It’s got angst. But it also has hope. You’ll be swept up in the Beast’s journey to find true love

and break the curse. You’ll get attached to whatever magical force is at work in the castle and how it’s clearly rooting for a happy ending.

The author transports the reader back in time with her writing that is firmly planted in the historical era, 17th century France, where the story takes place. There are engaging side stories with Isabeau’s sisters and father that round out the main story arc.

A unique re-telling of a beloved fairy tale.

Release Day Blitz & Review….Half Truths by Claire Contreras

You’ve heard of these groups – the secretive ones that only the crème de la crème are invited into, the ones outsiders speculate about for centuries – I’m the second in my family invited to attend, but to them, I’m fresh meat. New blood. New money, too.
They think they’ll elbow past me, that I’m here for their amusement, for them to walk all over, they’ll find out soon enough that I’m not.

I may look like one of them, with my designer bags and clothes straight from the Parisian runways, but I’m not. I’m here for answers, to take revenge for blood spilled on their centuries-old Persian rugs.
I transferred here in search for answers about what happened to my older brother, who hightailed out of here, and my friend who seemingly disappeared into thin air. I certainly wasn’t here for the attention of the star hockey player, regardless of how much he willed my eyes his way. I wasn’t here for his scrutiny or his judgment or to read into his mysterious aura. I was here for the society, because only they held the answers I needed. That was, until I found out that in order to get those answers, I needed to go through him. He’s saying if I want in, I have to play by their rules, follow their lead.
It’s a game I’m willing to play.

I may be the second person I know of to be invited into their society, but I’ll be the first to make it out intact.

WOAH! I mean seriously – WOAH!! That was an epic experience. Yes, experience.

Claire Contreras, I think you may have just outdone yourself.

Half Truths is an intense, fast-paced and eerily suspenseful story that I could not put down once I started.

And the blurb gives your just the surface of what you experience reading this story.

Mae transfers her senior year to the college her entire family has attended. She has her many reasons but they main one being what happened to her brother. And when she realizes in order to find those answers, she has to crawl into a rabbit hole of rumors, tales and the like, praying that they lead her to answers and not the same end result as her brother.

I was reading this entire book with bated breath. I was keeping notes and logging information was I read, trying to figure out how it all went together. While I had certain things correct, I was still wrong in certain aspects. Claire does a wonderful job of keeping the suspense at the forefront of this story with the romance aspect blending in perfectly in the background, but not taking away from the main elements in this story.

Claire definitely weaved a very intricate and perplex story line that keeps readers gripping the pages and glued to their seats from start to finish. It’s a mystifying and flawlessly woven story that will become a huge hit for readers.
