Excerpt from the brand-new Lovers at Dawn:

“Hungry?” she asked.

“I could eat,” he said.

“How about something more than trail mix and grapes?”

He chuckled. “Yes, please.”

She grinned. “There’s a really good noodle place near here. Or we could do pizza like we talked about.”

Now Caden was grinning. At the memory of their conversation, at the fact that she was doing just what they’d said, at the fact that it gave him hope. “Feed me pizza, Red.”

Makenna pushed into a sitting position beside him and laughed. “Okay, Caden Grayson, then let’s get dressed so I can put some slices in your pie hole.”

He grabbed her around the middle and hauled her back down against him. Laughter spilled out of her, and he loved it. “My pie hole, huh?”

“Yeah,” she said. “I grew up with three brothers, remember?”

“Oh, I remember, Makenna. I remember it all,” he said, kissing the soft skin of her neck.

She sighed. “This isn’t going to lead to pizza.”

Caden laughed. “No, I guess not. Damn inconvenient stomach.”

Makenna turned in his arms, her smile so bright and open. “I know, but we need fuel.”

Oh, he liked the sound of that. “Damn straight we do.” He gave her a slow, lingering kiss, making sure to rake his spider bites over her lip.

“I’m sorry, what were you saying?” she said, her voice all breathy and sexy.

“Pizza.”

“Right, pizza it is,” she said, sitting up again and scooting out of bed. Tussled hair fell over her shoulders. His T-shirt hung loosely on her body, her legs bare beneath. God, she was so pretty she struck him dumb. “Would you like to shower?”

Caden got out of her bed and stretched, getting hard again because of the way she was staring at him. Like she was starving. He stalked around the bed, laser focused on her.

“What?” she asked, grinning and backing up.

In one smooth motion, he bent and lifted her into a fireman’s carry.

She gasped and burst into laughter. “Why are you carrying me?”

He made for the bathroom. “I didn’t want you to get away.”

“I wasn’t trying to get away!” She chuckled.

“One can never be too sure,” he said, placing her gently on her feet in the big walk-in shower. And even though he said it as a joke, it was the damn truth. “Yes to taking a shower.” He stepped out of his boxers and chucked them outside of the stall, then stood and let her look her fill.

Makenna’s gaze raked over him, and he felt it like a physical caress. “I think I’m overdressed,” she offered, pulling his shirt over her head and dropping her panties until she was all beautiful naked curves before him. “Much better.”

All he could do was nod.

She reached for the water knob. “How hot do you like it?” She slanted her gaze at him with a sexy little smile.

“However hot you like it, Red.”

Water rained down on them, and steam slowly filled the space.

“I think…” She swallowed hard. “I think we might be a little delayed getting to the pizza.”

Blurb:

In this steamy tale by USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn, an American searching for her purpose escapes to a Scottish town but finds more questions than answers when she meets a brooding yet handsome handyman.

 

Freshly fired from her third job in a row, Bonnie St. James has lost her way. So when she and her best friend stumble upon a “help wanted” post to run a coffee shop in the Scottish Highlands, they apply on a whim. Who knows? Maybe traveling to a new place is just what she needs to figure out her next move.

 

When the friends arrive in the tiny idyllic town of Corsekelly, they instantly fall for the gorgeous Highland landscape and friendly townspeople. But Bonnie finds a less-than-warm welcome in Rowan MacGregor, the rugged local handyman. Busy wrestling his own demons, Rowan’s in no mood to deal with the quirky American—even if she is a bonny lass.

 

As Bonnie and Rowan’s paths inevitably cross, insults—and sparks—fly. Can the pair build on their similarities to help each other find purpose and direction…and maybe romance too? Or will their passionate tempers fling them apart?

 

 

 

 

Excerpt:

“I know you would have done the same for me.” I move my hands slowly across his chest. “Rowan?”

“Hmm?”

“Does this mean . . . we’re starting something?”

“Are you fishing for a date, lass?”

“Wouldn’t hurt you to ask, you know.”

“Okay.”

And I wait . . . and wait . . . and wait.

“Uh, are you going to ask?”

“On my terms, Bonnie. Now just go to sleep.”

“On your terms—what does that even mean?”

“Means I’ll ask when I ask.”

“Well, I can’t wait around forever, you know. I’m fresh meat in a Scottish meat market. I might be asked out tomorrow, and because you never asked me out, I would take that date.”

“Then take it,” he says casually.

I pinch his side, and he barely flinches. “You’re not supposed to say that.”

“I know you wouldn’t take it. You’re too infatuated with me.”

“Oh, now you did it,” I exclaim. “Now I’m going to go ask Lieth out just to spite you.”

He chuckles. “Good luck. I heard he likes to lick necks on first dates.”

“Well, then he’s the perfect man for me.”

Release Day Blitz & Review…The Sinner by Emma Scott

The Sinner by Emma Scott is now live!

Shy, introverted Lucy Dennings lives a quiet little life in New York City, working for a nonprofit and keeping to herself. Every afternoon, she goes home to her empty apartment and Edgar, her houseplant, and every night, she loses herself in the pages of her beloved romance novels. Her lonely heart seeks solace in tales of passionate, enduring, all-consuming love, but more and more, Lucy feels she’s not just reading for pleasure but searching for a lost piece of herself in the pages. As if she once touched something beautiful but it’s been ripped away.

Until one day Lucy discovers a dead body in the alley behind her apartment. Even if it’s too late, her first instinct is to help.

Her second is to run.

Because the dead body isn’t so very dead, and suddenly, her little world isn’t so little but one in which dreams feel like memories, “inner demons” actually lurk in dark alleys, and a beautiful creature of darkness with amber eyes and wings like night might hold the key to what her heart has been aching for…if she doesn’t fall down the path of eternal damnation first.

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Emma Scott, comes an emotional paranormal love story of passion, sacrifice, and the soul-deep love of a lifetime…more than one

The Sinner is Emma Scott’s first dabble in PNR and she definitely did this genre justice. She does a phenomenal job of building the world without losing the readers and still developing the plot in tangent with getting to know Casziel and Lucy.

Emma wrote a brilliant story that grips readers right from the start. This is the story of soulmates that transcends time and goes beyond just our realm. It is riddled with raw emotions that will pull at reader’s heart strings. It is angsty and so full of heart-wrenching moments.

Lucy is going through a lot lately. Cas comes at a time that has her questioning so much. I want to say so much but won’t. Just know that their story, while very emotional, it is worth the journey.

Emma poured her heart into this book. I could feel the emotions dripping off the page. This book touched my soul in ways I had not anticipated, especially for a PNR book. Even if you don’t read PNR, you definitely need to read this one.

Release Day Blitz & Review….The Parent Trap by Jasinda Wilder

The Parent Trap by Jasinda Wilder is now live!

He was my worst enemy. He spent every waking moment devising fresh new ways of torturing me. No one has ever been able to make me cry like Matthais Bristow: my twin brother’s best friend, and the person on this planet I hate most.

Then, he left for college and I was free of him. For ten blessed years, I was free of his torture. 

Now, he’s back, and he owns half of the family business I spent my entire life preparing to take over. 

Is this going to be a new round of his old favorite game, Make Delia McKenna Cry, or are am I to believe he’s actually come back with good intentions?

I have never read a book by Jasinda (not sure why), so I felt truly honored to receive an arc of this one.

I have to be honest – this book started off at 5 stars for me and somewhere near the end (last 10-15% in slowly went to 4 to a 3). I can’t rate it a 3 because overall this book is written very well and I was intrigued by these characters. The plot was entertaining and I needed to see where they would end up. However, I just didn’t care for how quickly things seems to just come together near the end.

Jasinda does a phenomenal job of introducing her characters and allowing her readers to really get an understanding of the dynamics. There is no love-loss between these characters and it’s quite tangible that their hatred is real.

I want to say so much but what made this book all the more enjoyable was not knowing exactly what to expect from these characters. Their mannerisms, characteristics and overall vibe is also what kept me glued to the pages.

The story flows wonderfully and the pacing of everything is very natural (minus last 10ish%). I enjoyed getting to know these characters and their dialogue at times was quite hilarious. Delia does not hold back on anything and both her brother Dell, and his best friend Thai also know how to dish it out.

The Parent Trap was an enjoyable read and I’m looking forward to Dell’s book in the future.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Things I Wanted To Say (But Never Did) by Monica Murphy

Things I Wanted To Say (But Never Did) by Monica Murphy is now live!

Whit Lancaster burst into my life like a storm. Dark and thunderous, furious and fierce. Cold, heartless and devastatingly beautiful, like the statues in our prep school gardens. The school with his family name on the sign. He can do no wrong here. This is his domain.

He’s a menace on campus. Adored and feared. Hated and respected. His taunting words carve into my skin, shredding me to ribbons. Yet his intense gaze scorches my blood, fills me with a longing I don’t understand.

When I stumble upon him one night alone, I find him broken. Bleeding. My instincts scream to leave and let him suffer, but I can’t. I sneak him into my room. Clean him up. Fall for his lies. Let him possess every single part of me until I’m the one left a gasping, broken mess.

When he leaves me alone in the dead of night, he takes my journal with him.

Now he knows all my secrets. My hate. My truth. And he promises to use my words against me. I’ll be ruined if my darkest secret gets out.

That’s when I strike a bargain with the devil.

I’ll let Whit Lancaster ruin me behind closed doors instead.

Who knew that Monica Murphy could write a book that would leave me shocked. LOL

Monica Murphy’s newest standalone, Things I Wanted to Say (But Never Did), is a YA bully romance and she knocked this one out!!!

I have read plenty of books my Monica and know that she can be sweet and endearing but also write some heavy subjects. But she’s once again shocked me (I truly should not be surprised any more) that she can also write and deliver dark characters with dark undertones.

I think what threw me the loop was that I have been reading her college and YA stories for quite a bit now and to read something that is a 180 of those plot lines and characters, it’s almost as though I am reading something by a new author. But I am not!!

Anyway – I digress. This book and these characters! WOW!!

Whit is a dick. He is and he knows it too. I hated him for the majority of this book and loved it when Summer would keep him check unintentionally. In the end, I absolutely loved him but he’s a dick. LOL

Summer is Whit’s equal in so many different ways. Yes, I wrote that correctly. She’s his equal in opposite ways and I love it. She does annoy me at times with her back and forth. I wanted her to not contradict herself so much.

Overall, I thoroughly loved this book. I devoured it quickly. My only reason for not rating this higher was the length. I felt that it was drug out too long and there too many instances that felt repetitive without any development in the plot or characters. Other than that, this book was amazing and hope to see other characters get their books in the future.

Release Day Blitz & Review…The Brazen by Willa Nash

The Brazen by Willa Nash is now live!

Kerrigan Hale’s personal life is about as exciting as a bucket of tar. With hard work and hustle as her steadfast companions, who needs romance or adventure? Her empire in Calamity, Montana, isn’t going to build itself.
For years, her mentor–and investor–helped make her dreams come true. Until his unexpected death put her fate in his grandson’s hands. A brazen billionaire, he seems intent on ruining Kerrigan’s life.

But if Pierce Sullivan thinks she’ll go down without a fight, he’s sorely mistaken. Pushed to the extreme, she drives to his ritzy mountain lodge to force the arrogant You Can Call Me Mr. Sullivan to hear her out.

No sooner does she arrive than a snowstorm traps her with Pierce. Stranded together for days, she’s in for the battle of her life. Pierce is nearly irresistible by candlelight. Without his suits and fancy cars, he’s almost human.

Except only a fool would let down her guard. And Kerrigan can’t risk her future. Not when she doesn’t know if he’s out to pilfer her dreams . . . or to steal her heart.

The Brazen is Willa’s newest installment in her Calamity Montana series. You truly do not need to read any of the previous books in this series to read this one.

If you have read the other books, Kerrigan has lived in Calamity her whole life. And now she is taking her love for interior decorating and construction and building Calamity up building by building.

Willa gives readers everything you need to know about this book. This is definitely an enemies to lovers romance and it’s riddled with lots of heat and passion.

Kerrigan is a very strong woman and never backs down from anyone. She knows what she wants and goes after it. I love her determination and confidence.

Pierce has taken over his grandfather’s business and just wants to wipe it all clean. But Kerrigan is more than what he is expecting. While Pierce too does not back down from anyone, he is finding it quite difficult to walk way from Kerrigan.

While some of the nuances of this story might sound too cliché, it’s Willa’s writing and her characters that set this story apart.

Willa kept me on my toes and had me very much engrossed in this story from start to finish. I am quite intrigued to see what happens in the next book….

Release Blitz & Review…Cursed by K.K. Allen

Release Date: July 6

USA Today Bestselling Author, K.K. Allen, takes readers on a deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful adventure in a contemporary fantasy series based on a young woman learning the true nature of her bloodline and the enchanting world that awaits her.

 

Katrina Summer always knew she was different. Her fiery temper seems to perpetually land her in hot water, making her an outcast among her peers. When tragedy strikes and she’s sent to live with her only remaining family in the tiny coastal town of Apollo Beach, Katrina starts counting down the days until her eighteenth birthday.

 

Only then will she finally be free.

 

As Katrina learns the legends of her Ancient Greek ancestors, secrets from her heritage are exposed—secrets that her mother purposefully concealed. Her only solace is found in Alec Stone, the gorgeous guy next door. With his devastatingly charming smile, his persistent flirtation, and a love that sparks from the flames of friendship, he offers her a much-needed escape from the turmoil.

 

If only she wasn’t cursed.

 

As powerful forces threaten the lives in Apollo Beach, Katrina can’t escape the evocative world of mythological enchantment and evil prophecies that lurk around every corner. For fans of Twilight, Teen Witch, The Secret Circle, and Percy Jackson.

 

CURSED is Book 1 in the all-new ENCHANTED GODS series.

Cursed is the first book in a new trilogy by K.K. Allen. This is definitely a fantasy, mythological book with some romance tied into it.

I am really impressed with the start of this trilogy. I really enjoyed the details, descriptions and world building that Allen brings to her readers. It’s set in today’s world but shows how it’s possible for other beings to co-exist and lineage of older families still be in existence.

Readers are introduced to Katrina (Kat) and the nuances of her life. She’s always considered herself an outsider but it’s not until she is living with her only remaining family that she begins to understand why she’s always felt a little different.

Allen does a phenomenal job of keeping things very believable, real and authentic. Learning about the Greek heritage, the little nuggets of information that Allen magically drops with the story to keep readers on their toes and try to pull things together. It’s really interesting to see all this come to life through the eyes of Kat.

Cursed truly is just the beginning of what I feel will be a wild ride. Allen has just tipped the iceberg as to what is to come next in this trilogy.

Release Day Blitz & Review….Exposed by Kristen Callihan

Exposed (VIP #4) by Kristen Callihan is now live!

Brenna

There are some people in life who know exactly how to push your buttons. For me, it’s Rye Peterson. We can’t spend more than ten minutes together before we’re at each other’s throats, which makes working together that much harder. Rye is the bassist for Kill John, the biggest rock band in the world, and I am his publicist. It doesn’t help that the man is gorgeous, funny, talented, and…never takes anything seriously. Avoidance is key.

But everything changes when he overhears something he shouldn’t: a confession made in a moment of weakness. Now the man I’ve tried so hard to ignore is offering me the greatest temptation of all—him.

Rye

Brenna James is the one. The one I can’t have. The one I can’t get out of my mind. Believe me, I’ve tried; the woman loathes me. I managed well enough—until I heard her say she’s as lonely as I am. That she needed to be touched, held, satisfied. And I could no longer deny the truth: I wanted to be the one to give her what she craved.

I convinced her that it would just be sex, mutual satisfaction with nothing deeper. But the moment I have her, she becomes my world. I’ve never given her a good reason to trust me before. Now, I’ve got to show Brenna that we’re so much better together than we ever were apart.

Exposed is the fourth book in Kristen’s VIP series. This series is one of my favorites for Rockstar romances and I have been oh-so-patiently waiting for Exposed to release. And it was damn well worth the wait.

Exposed is Brenna and Rye’s book. While you don’t need to read any of the previous books to read this one, I would still highly encourage you to read them in order.

Brenna and Rye are like water and oil. They do not get along; they are always ripping into one another for one thing or another.

One night, Rye overhears Brenna’s situation and wants to help her out. Not only does the offer for help throw Brenna off-kilter, but it’s what he wants to do that truly knocks her down.

Callihan wrote this story beautifully. I loved how things just seem to progress so naturally and real. I loved the honesty from both characters; how raw and real they were with one another and themselves. I can’t say it enough – this story progress so naturally and real, I forgot I was reading a book.

Callihan’s words just floated off the pages. Her writing is like a balm to my soul. As soon as I started reading this book, everything from the previous books came flooding back and it was as though I just read those (don’t need to read them but it helps give you an overall feel for the dynamics of secondary characters).

Exposed is another reason why this series rocks. I really hope we get one more book and it is Whip’s!!!
