Release Day Blitz & Review…Into The Storm by Christina Sol

Into the Storm by Christina Sol is now live!

She’s looking to start fresh, free from any entanglements. He’s not relationship material and is content living a quiet life. When their paths collide, the chemistry between them can’t be denied. But danger swirls around them…

For hairstylist Freya Hansen, relocating to Hudson Island gives her the chance to shed her old life and start over. When her newfound peace is shattered, she struggles to pick up the pieces, until a mysterious stranger steps in. A history of failed relationships has left her questioning her own judgement, no matter how intriguing she finds him. 

Xander Bonetti has left his wild ways behind him and is more than happy to focus on his work–leading Hudson Security’s personal security division. But when he spies the petite hairdresser after an incident at the Pacific View Resort, his protective instincts kick into high gear. And when a threat from her past brings trouble to her doorstep, even while knowing his heart could be on the line, he’ll do anything to protect her.

As the heat between Xander and Freya grows, so does the danger that looms around them. Not only must they unravel decades-old clues to end the unseen threat targeting Freya, but they must also let go of their fears and secrets or they’ll lose their chance at a once in a lifetime love.

This is the second book in this series, but focuses on Freya and Xander.

Neither of these two are looking for any sort of relationship. But as the story progresses, it’s impossible for these two to not want more from the other.

What I enjoyed most about this book was the maturity of these two characters. I loved how this relationship just blossomed and moved naturally.

It is told in 3rd person POV, which tends to be a struggle for me sometimes, and I think was a drawback on my connecting to the characters overall, but I still really enjoyed this story.

A really good addition to this series.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Loving The Tormentor

Loving The Tormentor by Lola King is now live!

A dark bully romance from best-selling author Lola King

She dreams of being noticed by her idol. He needs a muse to torment.


Once a decade, my broken hometown spits out a good girl.

Everyone always made sure to point out that it’s me. The violinist who doesn’t belong. The girl mocked for dreaming too big, for believing I can escape the gangs, the debts, and the crimes of the North Shore.

All I want is one thing: a spot at Silver Falls University, where they house the most elite music school in the country. The place where my idol studies.

Achilles Duval is a legend. A genius. A man whose music could break your heart before he ever touched your body. I’ve followed him for years, obsessed with the chance of one day having him hear me play. His notorious arrogance means nothing when I dream of him noticing me.

And he does notice me.
But not in the way I hoped.

Because Achilles isn’t just brilliant. He’s dangerous. Untouchable. A man born with power, privilege, and no limits. His reputation barely scratches the surface of what he really is.

He’s not an idol. He’s a monster.

And once Achilles Duval sets his eyes on you, there’s no walking away unscathed.

They say never meet your heroes.
They should have warned me about Achilles.

Loving The Liar is a dark romance intended for readers over 18. Please, read the CW in the book.
This is the third book in a series of 3 interconnected standalones

Lola King has won me over as a reader and has been added to my one-click reads. This series has blown me away.

The emotions and feelings this book evokes is unreal. It is a slow-burn and please heed the triggers because Lola doesn’t sugarcoat anything.

I think that is what I loved best about this book – the real and rawness to this story.

Nyx & Achilles story is messy, chaotic, but beautiful. It’s so them.

And the writing – Lola’s writing is something entirely unique and I love it. It’s smooth and graceful and just flows beautifully.

I need more from this author.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Sweet Addiction by Bella Matthews

Sweet Addiction by Bella Matthews is now live!

From #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes an enemies to loversforced proximitysports romance.



Rome Beneventi is a walking, talking bad decision—six feet, five inches of tattoos, temptation, and trouble wrapped in a smirk and dipped in sin. This MMA champion should come with a warning label . . . or at the very least a disclaimer.
I sell books, and he breaks bones.
We are not on the same page.

At least not until he discovers my secret and instead of keeping it, blackmails me into fake dating him.

Now I’m living in his house.
Lying to my family and friends.
Playing nice for the cameras.
And trying not to melt every time he calls me “baby” like it’s more than a show.

I told myself I’d never fall for him.
That I was too smart to love the devil in designer clothes.
But the thing about enemies?
Sometimes they’re the only ones who see you clearly.

And faking it with Rome Beneventi?
Yeah . . . it stopped feeling fake a long time ago.

Sweet Addiction, indeed.

This book was very addictive and I was enraptured by this story from start to finish.

Rome is an MMA, and a very good one at that. Dillan hates him and wants nothing to do with him.

Bella writes and explosive story chemistry-wise but delivers it with angst and great banter. The pacing was perfect the fake-dating trope – perfect for this setting.

If you haven’t read any of Bella’s books yet – what are you waiting for!?!

Now she’s captive to a stranger who whispers promises in the dark. Promises she should fear, yet her body betrays her by craving every sinful touch.

This was quite the unexpected dark romance from Kristy.

I am used to her mostly contemporary stories, so this was nice, unexpected change for me from her.

Have I read darker? Yes. Have most people who read Bromberg be ok with this one – that cannot be assumed, so please heed the trigger warnings.

This is seductive, dark novella and moves at the perfect pace. There is a nice twist in this one that was unexpected and made the book more enjoyable.

Release Day Blitz…Walking In Darkness by A.L. Jackson

Walking in Darkness by A.L. Jackson is now live!

Torn between conflicting worlds―one light, one dark―two lovers plunge into the ultimate battle between good and evil in a thrilling romantasy by a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author.

I was born to hunt the evils hiding in this world. To slay and destroy.

My purpose was never supposed to be her. My forbidden soulmate. Protecting her was meant to be temporary―I’d stay close until I was certain she was safe, and then I would walk away.

I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with her, and I sure as hell wasn’t supposed to take her to my bed. I’d heard my entire life that touching her would only bring us to our deaths.

Except that with my mere touch, power flows through Aria in a way it never has before, and it’s becoming clear that our gods lied to keep us separated and weak.

Together, our strength feels unstoppable. But the monsters hunting her are more sinister than we could have imagined―a threat that could end all humanity.

Will our newfound powers be enough to save us?

*Walking in Darkness is book two in the Darkness Duet. Please read the first book, Visions of Darkness, before enjoying this one.

Release Day Blitz & Review…My Brother’s Enemy by Tijan

My Brother’s Enemy by Tijan is now live!

Tyler Griffin is gorgeous, ruthless, and arrogant.
He’s also one of the best hockey players in the National Hockey League.
Not known to be a fighter on the ice, he has no problem dropping the gloves at the same time.
The sweet side of Tyler: he has a twin sister that he would do anything for, including disregarding any rules if they mean he can’t protect who he loves.

I know all of this about Tyler because I know him.
We grew up in neighboring towns.
He played against my brothers and ironically, he still does because my brothers are also NHL franchise stars.

The rivalry was in high school.
We’re all adults now.
That means certain grudges should be forgotten…

Wrong.

The rivalry is very much alive.
The hatred is visceral between my brothers and Tyler.
As for myself, I have my own complicated relationship with my brothers.
But things are about to get heated because the NHL team that I recently accepted a position to work for just traded for a certain star player: Tyler Griffin.

He’s the enemy to both of my brothers, but he’s also mine.

I am OBSESSED with this book!! I have not been able to stop thinking about this book.

Tijan writes the best complex, broken characters. They have so much depth and they drive their stories so incredibly well.

Rain, oh Rain. Yea, I felt so much with this character.

Tyler – his deep love for his family is amazing. His character surprised me so much.

I had not expected to feel all the emotions I did with this story. And I hadn’t expected to still be thinking about it days later.

This story felt so real, authentic and raw. I loved every bit of it. Read the blurb or don’t. I went in blind on this one and I feel like that was the best way to read it.

Another perfect gem from Tijan.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Yule Be Mine by Piper Rayne

Yule Be Mine by Piper Rayne is now live!

When workaholic best man Carter arrives in Mistletoe Falls for his best friends’ Christmas wedding, a town-wide Santa Festival and a misplaced motel reservation leave him with one option—beg the woman he once rejected for a room at her bed-and-breakfast. Unfortunately, that woman also happens to be the bride’s sister…and the maid of honor.

To make matters worse, the bride and groom are delayed, turning Ashley and Carter into last-minute wedding planners, forced into a truce neither of them wants. But late-night checklists, a blizzard of holiday activities, and a charming small town turn their snark into sparks.

When they get snowed in and every near-kiss feels dangerously close to something real, Carter realizes there’s more to December than year-end deadlines.

As their truce melts, one question remains—is this a holiday fling, or the start of forever?

This is a cute insta-love holiday romance.

I loved everything about this story except one tiny thing (my review on GR contains this hidden spoiler). I am a hard sell on the insta-love, but aside from the timing of one thing, I could see how these two fell in love quickly.

I enjoyed the banter and the buildup. I loved the town and all the holiday cheer and fun added in too.

Definitely a cute, quick holiday romance to get you in the mood for the holidays.

Release Day Blitz…Brooke’s Bliss by Lexi Blake

Brooke’s Bliss by Lexi Blake is now live!

Brooke Harper thought she would make it big in New York City, but she knew her heart would always be back in her hometown of Bliss, Colorado. She’d intended to come home as the big-shot fashion designer she’d always wanted to be, but her dream job turned into a nightmare, and now she’s crawling home to lick her wounds. When she meets up with two hot cowboys one night at Hell on Wheels, she decides they’re just what she needs to get her groove back.

Bailey Kent hasn’t stopped thinking about Brooke since he met her years before when he first visited Bliss. She’s his dream woman, and now she’s within reach. She responds so beautifully not only to him, but to his brother. They’ve shared women all their lives, but both know Brooke is the one. There’s only one problem. She’s his muse, but she sees him as a way station, not the destination on this journey she’s taking.

Only one problem? Shane Kent knows his brother sometimes doesn’t see the bigger picture. Bay’s head and heart are wrapped up in his art, and it’s Shane’s job to remember the reality of whatever situation they’re in, and this time it’s big trouble. Their last job took them to a ranch that might have been selling more than cattle. Shane witnessed something criminal and they ran, but their old crew is looking for them and he’s worried they’ll find Brooke, too. And then there’s the fact that they once hit on her sister-in-law and her brothers hate them…

It’ll take a miracle to bring these three together, so it’s a good thing Bliss is known for them.

Release Day Blitz…When We Breathe by Kristen Proby

When We Breathe by Kristen Proby is now live!

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes When We Breathe, a small-town, mmf Why Choose romance set in Bitterroot Valley!



Alex

I met Adam and Gabe the old-fashioned way: in a bar. That is, if old-fashioned means that I met a couple of men already in a committed, loving relationship, and they took me home for a night of debauchery and fun, then yeah. That.

It’s just supposed to be one night. I don’t want to be the third wheel or put any kind of a wrench in their love story. These two guys are perfect together. Gabe is the laid-back, easygoing auto mechanic with muscles for freaking days. Adam isn’t lacking in the muscle department either, honestly, but he’s more intense, a little more bruised from a shaky past.

Like me.

I find myself craving their attention all the time. And they don’t seem to want to let me go. What started as one night has turned into something so much … more. I’m a girl who thought she wasn’t lovable, and instead, these two men are proving to me that the three of us could have something really special.

But it’s hard for me to trust, and letting go of the last of my independence may be where I draw the line. Will these men let me walk away, or will they fight for us?

Release Day Blitz & Review…Every Silent Lie by Jodi Ellen Malpas

Every Silent Lie by Jodi Ellen Malpas is now live!

In a world where love feels like a dangerous game, one woman must face her fears and a past that haunts her. Get ready to be swept away by a story of forgiveness, vulnerability, and the power of love in Every Silent Lie.


Camryn Moore doesn’t do December. Not the parties. Not the memories. Not the pain. She buries herself in boardrooms by day and dirty martinis by night, trading connection for control. As a high-powered CFO, she’s unshakeable. Untouchable. But behind the sharp suits and sharper tongue is a woman slowly unravelling.

Then she meets him. A stranger. A spark. A moment that should’ve meant nothing somehow changes everything.

Dec is charming, handsome, reserved, and maddeningly perceptive. He seems to see every crack Camryn hides. But Dec isn’t just a man nursing his own ghosts. He’s hiding truths that could destroy whatever fragile trust is beginning to form between them.

In a season she hates, Camryn might have to face the past she’s buried, the love she thought she’d never have, and the man who might just ruin her.

Or save her.

Duet Narration by: Zara Hampton-Brown, Shane East & Chris Tester

Goodreads: http://bit.ly/45a1fV3

I had no idea what this book was about – I just knew I wanted to read it because Jodi wrote it. She is one of my go-to authors – has been since her first book.

I was so not prepared for the emotional turmoil I would go through reading this book. This book starts off from somber but as we move through the story, Jodi promises some hope and and warmth.

Yes, this book is written around the holidays but it’s not your typical holiday cheer romance. It felt very authentic and real and that made me appreciate this story even more. Yes, there are some great light-hearted and funny moments but this story definitely packs alot of emotions.

I purposely left out any details about this book – the blurb is all you need going into this. You won’t regret it.
