Release Day Blitz & Review…Delayed Penalty by Teagan Hunter

Delayed Penalty by Teagan Hunter is now live! 

I have two goals this season:

  1. Prove to the Seattle Serpents I’m not a complete screwup.
  2. Stay away from the nanny.

I’m hardly able to keep myself out of trouble, let alone a seven-year-old, but when my estranged brother gets a life sentence, I have no choice but to clean up my act and take the kid in.

It’s all going according to plan…until I’m forced to hire Quinn Benson.

She’s everything I need to avoid—flighty, messy, creating chaos everywhere she goes. But she makes my niece happy, so I hire her anyway, keeping our interactions as brief as possible, even when she moves in with me.

Thing is, the more she’s around, the more I want her around—and not just as a nanny. I can’t seem to stop falling into bed with her even when I know I shouldn’t. Quinn goes against everything I’m trying to accomplish, but I can’t stay away.

This might be one delayed penalty I don’t mind serving…

DELAYED PENALTY is a standalone hockey romance novel. There’s a single guardian a bit on the grumpy side, a sunshine nanny who doesn’t take any crap from him, an adorable little girl you’ll want to hug and keep safe, ridiculous teammates who make way too crude jokes, plenty of steam, and a happy ending.

HAYES!!!! I have been waiting for this man’s story for what feels like a lifetime and Teagan did not disappoint me with this one.

Delayed Penalty started off on the right foot with hilarity I have always come to love from Teagan and just gets better from there. Teagan gives readers two characters who are more than relatable in so many ways. But I love that these two compliment one another too.

Hayes and Quinn find themselves charting new territory they never anticipated and when Hayes needs Quinn and Quinn unknowingly needs Hayes help – these two find themselves tangled up in more ways than one.

I loved this story and how it all unfolded. Teagan always deliver the right amount of humor at the right times and it blends wonderfully with the romance. The banter between the characters helps keeps thing from getting too serious, but doesn’t take away from anything either.

Delayed Penalty is a great addition to the Seattle Serpents series.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Truly Madly Deeply by L.J. Shen

This old flame just might set them on fire.

Truly Madly Deeply, an all-new enemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine, standalone romance and the first book in the Forbidden Love Series from New York Times bestselling author L.J. Shen is now available!

Conceited, unattainable, and downright delicious, renowned Michelin-starred chef Ambrose Casablancas has one passion in life―food.

Women are a distraction, and he doesn’t do those. Especially Cal Litvin, his baby sister’s best friend. Her entire existence is a complication; she’s awkward, eccentric, infuriating…

And, much to his chagrin, hotter than his kitchen.

Ambrose has a lot on his plate: a new restaurant to open, a multimillion-dollar property deal to execute, and a violent stalker to tame.

Then Cal shows up at his doorstep, looking for both a job and salvation after their messy goodbye. His resolve, like his patience, is ebbing each day she works at his restaurant.

Because Cal is no longer a doe-eyed girl.

Now? She’s the woman he’ll do anything to conquer.

***

Quirky, compassionate ball of sunshine Calla Litvin can’t catch a break, and not just because she swore off running. Back in her hometown to nurse her mother’s broken heart after losing her father, she finds herself jobless, hopeless, and penniless. She hopes to rekindle her friendship with her former BFF, but Dylan is attached at the hip to her cruel brother―the one Cal’s been secretly crushing on since middle school.

Falling for the bad boy the second time around would be a mistake of gargantuan proportions.

Too bad she’s always been clumsy.

Oh, Ms Shen you definitely know how write very intricate and complicated characters and I love it so much!!

Truly Madly Deeply is quite possibly the best title for this book as nothing else will explain Row and Cal’s story. I had no idea what to expect from this story and honestly, Shen kept readers clinging to the pages from start to finish.

This story is a slow burn romance, and for good reason, but not the slow romance you think. Row and Cal’s story is definitely unique but very raw and real and readers get to really understand these from all sides.

Row and Cal intrigued me so much and not just together. I enjoyed getting to know each of them as individuals but also how they are together. I enjoyed their banter with one another, but also with their friends and family members.

Shen wrote a very well-rounded story and I enjoyed that as a reader I got to truly watch this all play out on these pages. I enjoyed the length of this story and found each scene and part was poignant in Row and Cal’s story.

Definitely a great read and one I highly recommend.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Anathema by Keri Lake

Title: Anathema
Series: The Eating Woods Duology #1
Author: Keri Lake
Genre: Dark Fantasy
Tropes: Enemies to Lovers/Forced Proximity
Only One Bed/Found Family
Release Date: September 10, 2024
BLURB
There are whispers about what lurks in Witch Knell—the forest where sinners go to die. The villagers call it The Eating Woods because what’s taken is never given back. Only those who’ve lost their senses would dare to go near it.
Or the banished.
Maevyth Bronwick knows better than to breach the misty labyrinth of trees, but a tragic turn of events compels her beyond the archway of bones, to a boundary no mortal has crossed before. One that cloaks a dark and fantastical world that’s as dangerous as it is alluring.
It’s there that he dwells, the cursed lord of Eidolon. The one tasked to keep her hidden from the magehood that seeks to crucify her in the name of an arcane prophesy. Zevander Rydainn, known to his prey as The Scorpion, is the coldest, most calculated assassin in all of Aethyria and he’d sooner toss his feisty ward to a pack of vicious fyre-drakes than keep her safe.
If only he could.
Maevyth’s blood is the key to breaking his despised curse and vanquishing the slumbering evil in Witch Knell. Unfortunately for Lord Rydainn, fate has other plans for the irresistible little enchantress. And his growing obsession with her threatens to destroy everything.
Including himself.

ALL. THE. STARS!!!

I purposely made myself read this book at a slower pace than normal because I knew I would gobble this up quickly (even with as large as it is) and I wanted to savor this story.

Keri never ceases to amaze me with her unparalleled ability to create gothic worlds that are unique and so intricate. Her writing talent is off-the-charts amazing with how easily readers are able to visualize what Keri has described in her writing.

And her characters – they are multi-layered, deep and oh-so captivating. They capture your eye and keep you wondering the entire time.

Anathema is a highly-addictive and captivating dark, gothic romantacy story that keeps readers engrossed from start to finish and then begging for more.

Maevyth and Zevander’s story is a very slow burn and I mean slow but it is so worth it. Keri gives her readers a story that you won’t be able to walk away from once you start.

As large as this book is, the story flows perfectly and Keri delivers the perfect amount of darkness with the twists and turns readers won’t see coming. The book will be over before readers realize it and we are all waiting with bated breath to see what happens next.

“What is taken will never return.”

Anathema is just one more proof that Keri is the Queen of Dark Gothic Romance.

Casey Hughes is a struggling travel journalist desperate for a big break when she lands the assignment of a lifetime: hop on board Aurelia for its maiden voyage through paradise. While she’ll bask in the luxury cruise ship’s fine dining and complimentary spa treatments, her real mission is to snag an exclusive interview with Phillip Woodmont.

The volatile grudge between them is as explosive as ever. More than once Casey is tempted to toss Phillip overboard, but for her work, she’ll have to swallow her pride. If it’s an apology he’s after, she’ll serve it up on a silver platter. If he wants her to walk the plank, she’ll salute with an aye, aye, Captain.

Casey can’t let him provoke her. She needs this interview. So if Phillip wants to play dirty, Casey will just have to play dirtier.

I can always count on Rachel delivering an entertaining yet sweet summer read.

I enjoyed this one more than I expected. I really liked the push and pull between Casey and Phillip. These two have a history and it’s not a good one.

Casey is at her wit’s end with her job and Phillip ends up being on the receiving end of her attitude when he refuses to give the interview she needs for her job.

Phillip is quite the character. I really enjoyed him and think he made this book all the more enjoyable for me.

Overall, a great summer romance read.

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

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

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

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

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

A Fate of Wrath & Flame is now on sale for just 99¢ in US & CA stores!

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

 
 
Title: Endless Southern Love
Series: Magnolia Grove Series
Author: Heidi McLaughlin
Genre/Tropes: Small Town; Second Chance; Single Dad; Enemies-to-Lovers
Release Date: August 29, 2024 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Single dad, Wade Jenkins, Magnolia Grove’s landscaping hottie who likes to mow lawns without a shirt on is thrown for a loop when his spirited seven-year-old daughter Goldie comes to live with him. While Wade’s thrilled to have his daughter full-time, there’s one little issue . . .
 
The elementary school principal.
 
Lemon Walsh is a woman who doesn’t live life to the fullest, despite her best friend urging her to all the time. When someone from her past shows up front and center, she has no choice but to finally reconcile the decision she made in college.
 
Will one of her students be the catalyst for change?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
“Wade . . .” I say his name for the first time, to him, in years. It hurts, hearing my voice call out to him.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Another enjoyable read from Heidi.

In the heart of Alabama, lies a charming little town on the river, where everyone knows your name… and your business.
Follow the intertwined lives of its beloved residents as they navigate first love, second chances, and all the unexpected surprises that their small-town holds.
Welcome to Magnolia Grove, where every neighbor has a story worth unraveling, the roots run deep, and love blossoms around every corner.

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

The Devil Himself by BB Easton is now live! 

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

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

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

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

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

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

The man I rescued is no fairy prince.

He’s the goddamn Devil himself.

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

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

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

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

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

Meet BB Easton

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

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

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

Title: Cooper
Series: Station 47 Series
Author: Heather Lyn
Genre: Firefighter Romance
Tropes: Friends-to-Lovers; Single Mom; Forced Proximity
Release Date: August 27, 2024
 

Cooper
By day I’m fighting fires and saving lives with my brothers at the station, and by night I’m slinging drinks at our family bar with my blood brothers.
I was happy, but I couldn’t help wanting more.
When I stumble across the stunning redhead and her little boy, it’s like everything I was searching for just appeared in front of me.
When an apartment fire takes everything she’s ever worked for, I can’t help offering my home to her and that chubby faced toddler.
Soon enough, they’re not just living in my home, but now they’re permanent residents of my heart.
And if I have it my way, they’ll never go anywhere for the rest of our lives.
 
Haley
I never planned to be a single mom, but Roman is the absolute love of my life and the best thing that ever happened to me.
When I moved to Nashville for a fresh start, I never could have dreamed what was heading our way.
When the firefighter with a heart of gold steps in to help me and my boy, I vow to find some way to repay him.
I just never imagined I would end up giving him my heart.
I soon find myself imagining a life I never saw for us… a happily ever after.
But after years of never being enough or wanted by someone, can I trust that he really wants us forever?
 

“Rome, come on, dude. You’re gonna wake your momma up, and she needs her rest, buddy.” The sound of Cooper’s voice draws me from a peaceful sleep, and I slowly crack my eyes open. I’m still on the couch, with a pillow now under my head and the same blanket covering me. Through half shut eyes, I see Cooper laying on his side in front of some blow up structure that Rome is currently sitting inside. It’s filled with those plastic pit balls, and my sweet boy is tossing them everywhere he can manage while giggling loudly.
Covering my mouth with my hand, I pull the blanket up over most of my face so I can sneakily watch the two of them while also feigning being asleep. Cooper keeps trying to wrangle all the balls to one location, but he’s never met my child before when he’s got fistfuls of weapons. Cooper lays down on his back and reaches for a ball that rolled away, but Rome takes advantage and begins pelting Cooper in the face. Cooper is sadly at the mercy of my son as he goes all MLB pitcher on this poor man.
My façade is blown almost immediately when I begin snort laughing under the blanket, and both of my guys turn to see me awake. Wait, my guys? No way, Jacobs. Shut that down immediately.
“Mama!” Rome shouts, and he crawls out of his mini ball pit and comes hauling for me. Reaching over the edge of the couch, I lift him in the air and roll to my back, settling him on my lap.
“Hi, bub. Were you being mean to poor Cooper?”
“Poopa.”
Giggling, I try to keep a straight face when both myself and Coop discover he’s learned the full version of his newfound name. “No, baby. It’s Cooper. Coooper.”
“Cooopoop.”
“You’re making it worse, Mama. Knock it off. I’m Pooper March. I can learn to live with it.” Laughing even harder, Pooper drops down onto the couch next to me and tickles Rome’s belly, causing him to shriek with laughter. “Besides, he’ll eventually learn to say it right.”
“You better hope anyway,” I tease, and he feigns hurt.
“Well, now that you’re up, I’m gonna go order us a pizza for dinner. You must be starving, huh?”
“Wait, what? Dinner? I fell asleep at like ten, didn’t I?”
“Yes, ma’am. You did. It’s almost six in the evening, and while I was able to make Rome some macaroni and cheese for lunch, I don’t have anything kid friendly for dinner. We’ll have to go grocery shopping tomorrow.”
With Rome in my lap, I sit up and look at him as I wipe sleep from my eyes. “Geez. You should have woken me up. I didn’t need to sleep all day long.”
“You were wiped, so clearly you needed the rest.”
“Yeah, I guess. Well, would you mind if we got cheese pizza? Rome will only eat that. Unless the pizza place has spaghetti. That’s his favorite.”
Cooper smiles. “I know for a fact that my usual pizza place makes some kickass spaghetti, so I can do that. Anything else you’d like?” he asks.
You.
“No, that should be good. Thank you. If you have any pancake mix and some cinnamon, I’ll make you breakfast in the morning.”
“You know, I think this roomie situation is gonna work out just fine, my friend,” he jokes, and I laugh as he moves into the kitchen. Rome and I sit in silence, before he wiggles to be let down, and moments later I join him to play on the floor.
The idea of how domestic this all is becoming is not lost on me, but I can’t let myself sit and think about that for too long. Cooper is just my friend, and he’s helping us out more than I can ever thank him for.
But we’re just friends. That’s all.
He’d never want to tie himself down to a young single mom and her baby.
No matter how much that baby is beginning to fall in love with him.

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

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

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE novel…

No one but me knew why I was actually in the California desert that day.
Nestled deep within the desolate, rocky area was a recording studio.
When a door suddenly opened, a man mistook me for someone he was supposed to be interviewing for a job.
The next thing I knew, I was whisked inside.
The position? An assistant on the upcoming tour for one of America’s most famous rock bands.
Pretty exciting opportunity for a twenty-two-year-old, just out of college.
Not surprisingly, I bombed the interview.
When I ended up mistakenly walking into the men’s room on my way out, I struck up a conversation with a stranger—not realizing it was the lead singer, Tristan Daltrey.
He seemed to like the fact that I had no idea who he was, that I saw him as a normal person.
That night, I got a call offering me the job.
So began my complicated story with Tristan.
Millions of women loved him.
Yet for some reason, after the shows, he only wanted to hang out with me.
Late-night talks. Casual dinners in his hotel room.
I wasn’t supposed to be fraternizing with the band’s frontman.
Despite our fifteen-year age difference, Tristan and I had a connection.
But I had a secret.
One that would eventually lead to my leaving the tour.
And one that would lead Tristan and the band straight to the small town where I came from.
