Release Date: March 28

 

 
A new stand alone fake relationship romance set in the glitz and glamour of the Cruel world from USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde…

 

 

The most eligible bachelor in New York City just asked me to be his fake fiancé.

 

 

Gavin King is six and a half feet of delectable billionaire with a devil’s smile that says he knows exactly what he’s going to do to me later. Because he has.

 

Three years ago, I caught him in the shower and promptly fell into his bed. But neither of us were relationship material. Not to mention I’d just broken up with his best friend.

 

Now, I’m back in the city and he has a plan:

Go to his cousin’s wedding.

Convince his family that he’s not an eternal bachelor.

Post a huge elaborate break up later.

 

With those big puppy dog eyes begging me to agree, claiming I’m the only one who can pull it off, I say yes. What could go wrong? Other than pulling it off so successfully that the line between real and fake blurs.

 

When my family flips the whole script, I can’t see a way out. And I’m starting to wonder if I even want one.

Release Day Blitz…Cauldrons Call by Kristen Proby

Cauldrons Call by Kristen Proby is now live! 

Cauldrons Call, by New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby, is the highly-anticipated second book in The Curse of the Blood Moon series.
 
Breena has known Giles all her life—and has loved him for nearly as long. Linked by the ties of family and coven, Breena has had a lifetime to discover everything there is to know about him. His intelligence and specialization in crystals and gems are truly things to admire, but it’s how he smiles at her that really makes her cauldron bubble. Too bad he’s completely oblivious.
 
Giles isn’t as oblivious as Breena thinks he is. A powerful witch, he’s spent most of his life hiding his true feelings from her, but he can’t ignore the fact that she’s hurting and plagued by the same nightmares that haunt him every night. So, getting her to move in with him so he can do just that seems like simple common sense. The hard part will be resisting the way Breena makes him feel.
 
But evil has invaded their world, and it has the power to kill every witch in Salem.  Breena has no time to wallow in what might have been and Giles’ desire to protect her is stronger than the power contained in his crystals . Together they must lift the curse of the blood moon before time runs out. If they can’t, the people Breena loves the most are all in danger. It will take every skill she’s honed as a witch to protect what’s hers and the man who cast a spell on her heart.
 
 
Will they have time to kindle their love for each other, or will the clock run out at the hands of fate?

Release Blitz & Review…My Dark Romeo by Parker S. Huntington & L.J. Shen

My fairy tale turned into a cautionary one.

Inked in tar and sealed in tears.

My Dark Romeo, an all-new marriage of inconvenience, enemies to lovers, standalone romance from Wall Street Journal bestselling authors L.J. Shen and Parker S. Huntington is available now!

From Wall Street Journal bestsellers L.J. Shen and Parker S. Huntington comes an explosive marriage of inconvenience…between a tarnished Romeo and a reluctant Juliet.

It was supposed to be a harmless kiss at a lavish debutante ball.

A clandestine moment with a handsome stranger.

But unlike his namesake, my Romeo isn’t driven by love.

He’s fueled by revenge.

To him, I’m a chess piece. Leverage.

His rival’s betrothed.

To me, he is a man deserving of poison.

A dark prince I refuse to marry.

He thinks I’ll accept my fate.

Well, I plan to rewrite it.

And in my story, Juliet doesn’t die.

But Romeo? He perishes.

Start reading today!

Amazon: http://bit.ly/mydarkromeo

Amazon Worldwide: https://mybook.to/mydarkromeo

I hadn’t come here to find a husband. 

Before my birth, Daddy had already promised me to someone, which the diamond ring on my engagement finger reminded me. 

This always seemed like a problem for the future—up until I discovered the official announcement on the society pages two days ago. “I hear Romeo is dead-set on becoming the CEO of his daddy’s company.” Lord, Sav was still droning on about him. Were they planning on penning the man’s Wikipedia? “Already, he’s a billionaire.”

“Not just a billionaire. A mega billionaire.” Emilie fingered a marquise diamond on her Broderie bracelet, her poker tell. “And he’s not the type to blow it all on yachts and gold toilet seats or funding self-indulged pet projects.”

Sav snuck a desperate glance at them through her compact mirror. “Do you think we can be introduced?”

Emilie’s eyebrows pinched together. “Nobody here knows them. Dal? Dallas? Are you even listening to the conversation? This is important.”

The only grave situation I’d witnessed was the lack of shortbread, too. 

Reluctantly, I fixed my eyes on the two men that parted the thick crowd of silk chiffon and frozen updos. 

They both stood at least six-three. A towering height that made them look like giants trying to squeeze into doll houses. 

Then again, nothing about them was conventional. 

Their similarities ended with their height. Everything else was arctic opposites.

One was silk and the other leather. 

If I had to guess, the live-action Ken clone was von Bismarck. Dirty-blond, square-jawed, and adorned with shabby whiskers of stubble, he looked like something only a Walt Disney illustrator could sketch. 

The perfect European prince, down to the scandalous blue eyes and Roman-like structure. 

Silk. 

The other man was a polished savage. Menace decanted into a Kiton suit. 

He wore his inky hair in a gentleman’s cut, trimmed into submission. Everything about him seemed carefully crafted. Intentionally designed to deliver lethal doses straight into a woman’s bloodstream. Sharp cheekbones, thick brows, lashes I’d risk jail time for, and the frostiest gray eyes I’d seen to date. In fact, his eyes were so light and frosty, I decided they had no business coupling with his otherwise tan Italian features.

 Leather. 

“Romeo Costa.” Savannah’s voice curled with longing as he breezed right past us, heading toward the table reserved for VIPs. “I would let him ruin me as thoroughly and impressively as Elon Musk destroyed Twitter.”

My Dark Romeo is a very entertaining, modern day fairy tale of Beauty and the Beast.

My Dark Romeo is co-written perfeclty – you can never tell who wrote which portions as the story flowed beautifully. The story is told from both Romeo and Julia’s POV and the pacing was perfection.

Julia may be forced into an arranged marriage, but she is no pushover. I love her strong-will and her keen sense to know exactly what to do to get what she wants.

Romeo may crave control but he had no idea what he was in for when he married Julie. She may irritate him to no end, but she also kept him guessing at every turn.

I enjoyed every bit of this story. From Julie and Romeo’s interactions, to the dialogue amongst their friends and family. I loved all the many facets that made this story engaging from start to finish.

Definitely a must read!

If my parents had it their way, I’d be off at college. Instead, I’m drowning in secrets, every one of them involving my brother’s best friend.

Hayes Wilder is a walking red flag, warning me to stay away. And yet, all I can think about are his calloused hands on my skin. He’s a total player, on and off the ice, but right now, the only playing he wants to do is with me.

Sneaking around isn’t easy, especially when you live in a small town where nothing stays hidden. And when our secret ends up in the wrong hands, decisions and regrets come as a package deal.

I’ve got everything I’ve always wanted right in front of me. All my dreams lying at my feet. But I’m forced to decide if loving him is worth losing myself.

I wish someone would’ve told me that the prettiest of poisons are also the most lethal.

HOLY SHIT!?! I feel like standing up and applauding Abbie for writing such a unique and harrowing story.

Dangerous Dreams is like nothing I have read before. It’s dark and suspenseful tale with supernatural and other worldly elements that just make this story all the more enticing.

I was pulled into the story from the very start and couldn’t stop reading because page after page became more and more intriguing.

Abbie has woven an astounding psychological thriller that will leave you speechless. The pacing of this story is perfect and the storyline is superb.

Damn. This story was phenomenal. Go read it. You won’t regret it

Blurb: 

Anyone who says love isn’t complicated is a dirty liar. Ask me how I know…

I used to be a normal wife and mother with a perfectly happy life. Now I’m a divorced single mom who spent a night in jail after breaking into the hair salon my ex’s mistress owns.

What can I say? Not my proudest moment.

The only bright spot in that fiasco was the police officer who offered me a sexy, broad shoulder to cry on. William Bronson was a knight in shining armor. A romance novel hero in the flesh.

Then I showed up for work the next day and realized I’d be in charge of planning his fairy tale wedding…to someone else.

And that was just the start of my troubles—romantically and legally (don’t ask).  

Now, I need to learn how to navigate my new reality and start building my own happily ever after. I have no idea if it will all end in love…or heartache. All I know for sure is that it’ll be complicated.

YESSSS, Jeannine!!!

Love this story so much!! Jeannine truly delivers a story that is so relatable on so many levels and shows you all the dimensions when it comes to love.

I absolutely love Melissa! Melissa is a character that women will feel a connection to in one way or another. She is what makes this story so relatable; her highs and her lows and everything in between.

I felt alot while reading this story. So many emotions ran through from sheer happiness, to gut wrenching tears and back to utter joy and laughter.

Jeannine gives reader a story that is so authentic, it’s impossible to not connect to these characters and their story. I want to say so much but I am so afraid to give away any good bits. u

Love…It’s Complicated. A story that everyone needs to read because it’s not just about the love of a couple. Love…it’s everywhere.

 ABOUT JEANNINE COLETTE

Release Day Blitz & Review…Hockey With Benefits by Tijan

Hockey With Benefits by Tijan is now live! 

Hockey with benefits. That was what Mara proposed, and I was down. 

She said no feelings and she meant it. 
Just benefits. No strings attached. Nothing else. Not even friendship. 
College was her escape, including us. 

I didn’t have time for a girlfriend. 
I had classes, the team, my family, and the game. 

It was all working too… 

Until somewhere down the line, things got messy. 
Until somehow we were dealing with threats, secrets, rivals, and so much more. 
Until I began to want her in ways that weren’t part of the deal. 

Our agreement didn’t just get checked into the wall, it got obliterated.

Hockey with Benefits is Tijan’s newest standalone and she nails this college sports.

Cruz and Mara have a no-friends with benefits agreement that works for the both of them. It’s just as unique as they are; these two are very complex characters in their own right.

I enjoyed getting to know them both as individuals and together as their agreement became more convoluted as the school semester moved along. These two definitely were hot between the sheets but as they let their walls crumble, they could see there was possibly more – but did either really want more?

These two plus their college roommates, friends and teammates rounded out this book so well. I enjoyed all the banter between everyone and could easily see each scene play out before me. While certain scenes were more emotional and heavier to go through, I found the lighter ones blended in perfectly to give this book a very well-rounded story.

Tijan delivers a very heavy plot that I will say could be triggering for some people. I loved that she kept it all real and authentic; no sugar coating from either side – just pure raw emotion. But at the same time, she gave us characters that we can easily relate to and would want as friends.

Another phenomenal story from Tijan.

About RIGHT MAN, RIGHT TIME:

From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn, comes a new fake dating, standalone sports romance featuring the hockey men you can’t get enough of and love. This steamy, age-gap romantic comedy will bring all the laughs while making your cheeks blush at the same time.

Running into your ex is never ideal.
Running into your ex who is now dating your nemesis is a literal nightmare.

That’s how I found myself in a sheer panic, reaching for the closest guy at the bar and kissing him. And to my delight he was easily the most attractive man I’ve ever seen.

The only problem is, when I tried to walk away after thanking him for his help, he stopped me with three life-changing words . . .“You owe me.”

That’s how I found myself, a college girl, in a fake relationship with a professional hockey player ten years older than me.

At first it was easy.
He helped me with my internship.
I helped keep his ex away from him.
We were becoming fast friends.

It wasn’t until he started staying the night at my dorm did the rules of our arrangement become complicated.

Now my feelings are involved and even though I kissed the right man at the right time, I’m worried he’s just waiting for the clock to run out.

Release Day Blitz…Sapphire Storm by C. Travis Rice

“Was it possible to put down a weight you didn’t know you were carrying?”

Sapphire Storm, an all-new beautifully-crafted enemies-to-lovers age-gap MM romance set in the Sapphire Cove world from New York Times bestselling author Christopher Rice writing as C. Travis Rice is available now!

Under his new pen name, C. Travis Rice, New York Times bestselling author Christopher Rice offers tales of passion, intrigue, and steamy romance between men. The third novel, SAPPHIRE STORM, once again transports you to a beautiful luxury resort on the sparkling Southern California coast where strong-willed heroes release the shame that blocks their hearts’ desires.

Ethan Blake has dedicated his life to satisfying other people’s appetites. At forty-three, he’s finally landed his dream job—head pastry chef at an exclusive resort. Now he’s got a jet-setting career that’s taken him to romantic locations all over the world. But years before, after his parents threw him out for being gay, Ethan supported himself in a manner he’d rather keep under the covers today.

Roman Walker is a twenty-five-year-old fitness celebrity awash in thirsty followers. But when he walks through the doors of Sapphire Cove, it’s not just to oversee the menu for his celebrity client’s wedding. Decades ago, Roman and Ethan crossed paths on a New York street corner during a terrible, life-changing moment that scarred them both. Now Roman’s back for revenge.

But when his plan goes wildly off the rails, Roman suddenly finds himself at the center of an even stranger and darker plot concocted by his most famous client. Well-versed in the ways of the wealthy and the entitled, Roman’s former target offers to be his strongest ally during a moment that might derail the young man’s newfound career. But the experienced older man’s offer also ignites an irresistible and forbidden attraction that threatens to consume them both, even as it exposes old secrets and incurs the wrath of the powerful and the famous.

Keep reading for a look inside Sapphire Storm!

“You first,” he finally said. “Why’d you quit escorting?”
“You,” Ethan answered softly, even as saying the word aloud made him feel like there was a tremor deep inside his gut that might slowly but steadily send cracks running through him from head to toe. “I quit because of you.”
Roman looked too stunned to speak.
“I quit because I couldn’t stop seeing your face on that street corner. But I was still about fifteen grand short of what I needed to finish culinary school, so I flew back to South Carolina and I confronted the parents who banished me like I had the plague after I refused to renounce my sexuality for the benefit of their church friends. I told them they could either write me a check for the difference or I could set up shop in their backyard. I already had it on good authority that I’d have some pretty steady clients among their church friends.”
Roman seemed stunned by the answer. When it was clear Ethan wasn’t going to say more, he broke the silence. “What did your parents do?”
“They wrote me a check, and I was on my way.” It had been years since he’d told this story to anyone, and he’d only ever told it twice. He wasn’t prepared for how hollowed out and exhausted he’d feel once the words left him. Years since he’d ever had to see anyone react the way Roman was reacting now, wincing and making sad eyes over the heartless efficiency of the exchange. It was easier to keep your pain stuffed deep down when you never had to see anyone else react to hearing it for the first time.
“Did you ever talk to them again?” Roman asked softly.
“I believe you said you’d answer my question when I answered yours.”
Roman sucked in a deep breath and stared down into his now empty glass. “She didn’t mean it but…”
“But what?”
“It was about my mom. She said I should do it because my mom would want me to live at my fullest potential, or whatever. And that’s when I realized I just…can’t be…”
“Can’t be what?”
Tears slipped down his face. “Homeless. Broke. Couch surfing. Again. Everything I saw in her eyes when I told her I was quitting school, when I told her I was throwing everything she’d given me down the drain.” He shot to his feet.
“Roman, sit. Please.”
“No. Look, this is what I have to do, okay? And I know you don’t approve, and I know you think I’ll fuck it up or lose my mind or whatever, but I’ve got no choice, okay? And I’m sorry if asking you to talk to me like this was inappropriate. But it’s my life, and I have to make my own decisions.”
“I understand, but Roman—”
He was striding toward the door on his powerful legs.
“Roman!”
When the entry door swung shut behind him, Ethan sprang from his feet, but by the time he reached the parking lot, the Bentley’s taillights were shrinking into the dark.
He pulled out his phone.

I would never judge you.

He didn’t expect a response, but he was staring down at his phone, wondering if he’d been too hard on the guy. And wondering simultaneously if he should have tried harder to stop him.
A guy he’d dated in France a few years back had yelled at him during one of their many fights that he needed to learn the difference between protecting someone and suffocating them. Where did tonight fall on the scale?
You are not dating that young man, Ethan Blake. He was tempted to ignore the voice in his head because it sounded like his late mother’s. Imperious and dismissive and cold. But the only way to drown it out was to imagine taking Roman into his arms, holding him there, protecting him.
Guiding him to the bed…
Finally, he added.

Let me know when you get home safe. And never feel like you can’t call me.

He snagged a Diet Coke in a to-go cup and hit the road.
He was almost home when his phone chimed with a new text

Home. Sorry.

When he reached the driveway for his parking lot, he stopped, knowing he’d lose cell service the second he descended under the building.

No matter what happens, your mother, wherever she is, is proud of you. Never forget that. I can hear it in all the stories you tell about her.

Unlike mine, he thought. When his vision misted and he found himself blinking back tears, he was shocked. He sat frozen behind the wheel before a neighbor’s headlights swung into alignment with his car.
As he opened the door to his apartment, he saw he had another text from Roman.

You’re a good man, Ethan Blake.

Given their history, the words meant far more coming from Roman Walker than they would anyone else.
He slept more peacefully than he thought he would. Until about three in the morning, when he woke from a dream of Roman Walker snuggling into bed next to him, whispering the words of his last text into his ear, their bodies entwined and grasping beneath the covers.

Release Day Blitz & Review…All of Me: The Complete Series by Siobhan Davis

I’m head over heels in love with my best friend.

All of Me: The Complete Series, an angst-filled and heart-wrenching new-adult romance collection featuring Say I’m the One, Let Me Love You & Hold Me Close from USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Siobhan Davis is available now!

I’m head over heels in love with my best friend. Although, I can’t pinpoint exactly when Reeve Lancaster became my entire world.

Was it when we were little kids, practically brought up together, after Reeve’s mom died during childbirth and his dad subsequently fell apart? Or when I doodled his name in my school journal at age ten? Maybe it was when we became boyfriend and girlfriend at fourteen or when we shed our virginity at sixteen, pledging our forever?

I was there as his star ascended—like I’d always known it would—and there wasn’t a prouder person on the planet. As the only child of Hollywood’s golden couple, I’ve lived my life in the spotlight enough to know it wasn’t what I wanted for my future. But I sacrificed my own desires, because Reeve’s happiness meant everything to me.

Until he crushed my heart into itty-bitty pieces, forcing me to fly halfway around the world just to escape the gut-wrenching pain.

The opportunity to study at Trinity College Dublin came at the perfect moment, and I jumped at the chance without hesitation. If I’d known fate was meddling in my life, perhaps I would have chosen differently, but my future was cemented the instant I laid eyes on him.

Dillon O’Donoghue was Reeve’s polar opposite in every way, and perhaps, that’s why I felt drawn to him. He was the dark to my light. The thorn in my side, irritating me with his cold disdain, wild recklessness, and a burning rage hidden deep inside him that spoke to a silent part within me. Yet Dillon showed me what it was like to truly live, opening my eyes to endless possibilities.

What happened next was inevitable, and I only have myself to blame. He warned me, and I knew my reprieve was temporary, because there is only so far I can run.

Especially when fate hasn’t finished messing with me yet.

This is the perfect box set for Siobhan’s All of Me trilogy. Thr bonus content at the end which is only included in this box set was the best surprise.

Below are my reviews for each book.

Say I’m The One:

When the prologue has you feeling everything, you know the story is going to be wreck you in the best ways.

I truly have no idea how to even start this review. It has been days since I finished this book and I am still all up in my feels with this one.

Say I’m The One is the first book in Siobhan Davis’ All of Me duet and she grabs readers attention right from the start and never lets up on anything.

Vivien and Reeve grew up together and are high school sweethearts. They’ve been through everything together and with their solid foundation and strong bond, nothing has stopped these two from following their dreams. But life always loves to throw thing off kilter and their love is now being tested. Vivien chooses to transfer her studies for one semester to remove herself from the limelight and realign herself. It’s while she’s in Ireland, that she meets one of the most welcoming and heartwarming siblings. But one of them, Dillion isn’t so welcoming and she finds herself facing another dilemma before returning back home.

This book was everything I never knew I needed. The anguish, the anger, the love, the frustration, the confusion – I could go on and on. This book will take readers on a rollercoaster of emotions. It is intense, angsty, and riddled with so much heartfelt love – you truly feel your heart being pulled in every direction. I have so many questions. My brain will not stop overthinking everything.

Siobhan has delivered another jaw-dropping story that will have you teetering on the edge the entire time. Just when you think you know where this book is going, Siobhan throws another corkscrew into the plot and you’re left reeling with a whole other batch of emotions.

She does not let up on her readers and your heart will be fully vested in this one. Her writing is flawless and for as large as this book is, readers will devour this one quickly. Oh and the cliffhanger – yea, I am going to need someone to pick my jaw up off the floor.

I need book two now!!!! Pretty please.

Let Me Love You

I honestly have no clue how to write this one. Let Me Love You is the conclusion to the All of Me Duet and yes, you must read these in order. And you will devour both books in one sitting.

After finishing the first book, I was desperate to read this one and I am beyond grateful that Siobhan does not leave us dangling for long.

This duet is a very angsty and emotional journey. And I say journey because for a duet, it is longer than most. But that’s part of what makes this duet so great. Nothing is rushed, nothing is hurried and you feel every single thing these characters feel.

I can’t and won’t even give an iota of what happens in this book or the duet because it will easily give away plot points. Everything that happens is all woven together so intricately to make one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful stories I have read in a long time.

Not going to lie, I had a lot of feelings wrapped up this one. I hated the characters one minute, loved them the next and was bitter with them another time. I was all over the place. And it’s Siobhan’s writing and the depth she brings to her stories that creates these highly fueled emotions through the entirety of this book (and duet).

Siobhan delivers a story that will stay with you for a very long time. These characters have etched themselves into my soul. I did not want their story to end. I could live in their lives for a very long time.

Bravo Siobhan. Your art and talent never cease to amaze and I continued to be in awe of you. <3

Hold Me Close:

YESSSS!!! I was so excited to visit Dil & Viv again and Hold Me Close was exactly what I wanted.

Hold Me Close must be read after the other two books and gives you a glimpse of the lives of Dil & Viv and their kids seven years later.

Siobhan delivers her perfect angst and emotion filled story that truly focuses around their sons but still affects everyone around them.

Yes, there is some drama but this book truly felt like an overdue family reunion returning to this world.

Hold Me Close is an amazing, quick read that is very well written and the perfect novella to the All of Me duet.
