Release Day Blitz & Review….Serendipity by Kristen Proby

 

Serendipity by Kristen Proby is now live!

 

From New York Times Bestselling Author, Kristen Proby, comes Serendipity, the final installment in her gripping Bayou Magic series…

My sight is a gift and also a curse. It cost me the love of my life. We may have been young, but some things you don’t get over. Like being the cause of the biggest tragedy of your boyfriend’s life. It’s something I’ll never forget, and a reflection of who I am.

But now that Jackson’s back in town, with scars and a hero’s badge of honor, it’s time for me to be brave, too.

A malevolent evil hell-bent on making my sisters and me pay for rebuffing him is still stalking my family, and some ancient writings portended that the six were the only ones who could defeat him.

Jackson Pruitt and I round out that magical number, which means I have to face the evil and the things Jack makes me feel, to save my family and my city.

I never sought to reconnect with Jack. Working with him now means opening myself up to my feelings for him.

Refusing means destruction for us all.

Serendipity is the third and final book in Kristen Proby’s trilogy, Bayou Magic and she ends this series on a perfect note.

Each book focuses on a particular couple but there is an underlying plot that ties each book together so it’s best to read them in order. Serendipity centers around Daphne and her fated soul mate, Jackson and their story. And this story was very much worth the wait til the end.

The Bayou Magic series is story of three sisters who are witches and hold different powers in their own rights. I truly enjoyed the design of the paranormal and witchcraft that Proby brings into this story (and series). You can definitely tell that Proby did plenty of research for this series and shows a unique side to witches.

Proby wrote this book perfectly to not only tie everything together, but also tell Daphne and Jackson’s love story. These three sisters (and their fated) have been through so much but it’s when they are together, that they are strongest. Daphne’s story was quite unique and I enjoyed seeing everything coming together, but also watching Daphne and Jackson’s story play out right alongside everything.

Serendipity ended the Bayou Magic Trilogy perfectly and I enjoyed every bit of it. I am looking forward to more PNR books from Proby in the future.

Born shrouded in the veil of the Primals, a Maiden as the Fates promised, Seraphena Mierel’s future has never been hers. Chosen before birth to uphold the desperate deal her ancestor struck to save his people, Sera must leave behind her life and offer herself to the Primal of Death as his Consort.

However, Sera’s real destiny is the most closely guarded secret in all of Lasania—she’s not the well protected Maiden but an assassin with one mission—one target. Make the Primal of Death fall in love, become his weakness, and then…end him. If she fails, she dooms her kingdom to a slow demise at the hands of the Rot.

Sera has always known what she is. Chosen. Consort. Assassin. Weapon. A specter never fully formed yet drenched in blood. A monster. Until him. Until the Primal of Death’s unexpected words and deeds chase away the darkness gathering inside her. And his seductive touch ignites a passion she’s never allowed herself to feel and cannot feel for him. But Sera has never had a choice.

Blurb:

How did you two meet?

The quintessential question asked to every couple. And the answer is usually some bubbly, lovey dovey tale of being struck in the bum by Cupid’s arrow.

My meet cute (well not so meet cute) is slightly different. I was trolling a wealthy neighborhood in Beverly Hills, searching for someone to take me as their bride, you know, to make my arch nemesis jealous who consequently just fired me.

He was stomping around the block like some sort of gorgeous ogre, mumbling about a business deal gone wrong and attempting to finagle his way out of it.

And that’s when we bumped into each other.

There were no sparks.

Not even a hint of blossoming love.

But next thing I knew, I was scarfing down free chips and guac, listening to this man lay out all of his problems which led to his big ask . . . he wanted me to be his Vivian Ward, you know, from Pretty Woman–minus the frisky behavior.

We’re talking about living in a mansion, intimate double dates, and pretending we were head over heels in love . . . and engaged. Can you imagine?

The absolute audacity.

But people do crazy things when they’re desperate. And I reeked of desperation. So, I struck up a deal.

My one big mistake, though . . . big . . . HUGE? I accidentally fell for the incomparable Huxley Cane.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Only One Regret by Natasha Madison

 
 
Release Date: October 19
 

From USA Bestseller Natasha Madison comes a brand new Hockey series The Only One.

 

Cooper.

My name came with big skates to fill. .

 

At the top of my game, I had everything I wanted, or so I thought. .

 

Being traded to Dallas was not what I was expecting but neither were the divorce papers I was served. .

 

Now I’m a single dad in a city that isn’t my home. .

 

Erika.

Handed my biggest client when I was twenty-two made my dreams come true. .

 

Over time, our work relationship changed, and we grew closer, leaning on each other for support. .

 

He was my rock, my best friend..

 

Then one drunken night changed everything, and I saw what was in front of me all along. .

 

I just hope that when the dust settles, we won’t regret it.

Grab Your Copy Here:
Amazon | Nook | Apple | Kobo | Audio | Paperback
 

Only One Regret is the fifth book in Natasha Madison’s Only One series but can easily be read as a standalone. I have not read any of the books in this series and was able to read this one with ease.

Erika and Cooper have been best friends for over 8 years. He was her first huge client and as his agent, he respected and loved her for everything she’s been able to help him achieve. Until one night, things get a bit blurred unintentionally.

I enjoyed watching Erika and Cooper’s story go from one of friendship to more. Natasha blended the sport aspect of this with the romance perfectly. The flow of this story was perfect; nothing happened too fast nor did things move too slow. I loved seeing how deep their friendship went and how easily it just became more. While it does complicate things, I love how all of it was handled.

Only One Regret is an uplifting romance story with very little drama and a lot of smiles. And there is a lot of steamy and hot scenes once they got together (sometimes felt too much) so be prepared to sweat through those. LOL

Natasha brings her readers another great romance story. I’m excited for the next book in this series.

 

Meet Natasha Madison 



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…

Release Day Blitz & Review…Blind Date by Monica Murphy

Blind Date by Monica Murphy is now live!

Amelia Lee is in desperate need of a change.

Finally free from her controlling ex-boyfriend, she’s not looking to date someone new, even though all of her friends are encouraging her to do exactly that. One in particular believes she’s found the perfect guy for Amelia. So she sets her up on a blind date.

At a wedding.

Amelia has no idea the guy she bumped into at her friend’s Christmas tree farm is the same one she’s been set up with at a wedding reception. Isaac Jones is a nice guy. A good looking guy. A much younger guy. No way could they be compatible – they have nothing in common.

The more time Amelia spends with Isaac though, the more she realizes he just might be perfect for her. He makes her laugh. He’s a complete gentleman. And they’re definitely compatible between the sheets…

But is he only the rebound guy? Or can they actually make this newfound romance work?

Blind Date is set during the holiday season and while I normally don’t read too many books like this so early, I couldn’t pass up on this one as I enjoy Monica Murphy’s writing.

The blurb pretty much tells you all need to know. Amelia and Isaac have an interesting first unintentional meet up and things only get more interesting from there. Amelia struggles to trust another man after her last relationship and Isaac is still trying to find his niche in the world.

I thoroughly enjoyed how Monica allowed this story play out and the characters came across as so genuine. Everything felt so real and authentic that it just made the story all the more relatable.

Blind Date is the perfect, sweet and quick read for romance readers. Add in the holiday setting that just always puts people in better spirits and readers will fall in love with everything.

Review…Canary by Tijan

Canary, an all-new not-to-be-missed, enemies-to-lovers standalone mafia romance from New York Times bestselling author Tijan is available now!

We were on the front lines in that world, the mafia world.
There was nothing soft or glamorous about it.
Who you were before no longer mattered. Names didn’t exist.

I joined anyway. I had no other choice because they took my sister.
Join. Find her. Try and make it out alive.

Then he won me in a poker game.
I hated him instantly, thinking he was like my other bosses before him.
He wasn’t. He was worse.

He wasn’t just cold. He was dead inside.
It didn’t matter that he was gorgeous.
He was the most lethal thing I’d ever met.

He was also the only person who could keep me alive, if he didn’t kill me himself.

A/N This is a 102k mafia/cartel standalone.
This is the most violent book Tijan has ever written.
Trigger warning: references to sexual violence

“Canaries sing to save lives. I sing and people die.”

Excerpt

“I…” I didn’t even know. I couldn’t explain what I didn’t know. “Ask me about Jake in a different way.”
“There is no other way.”
“You know there is! Ask it in a different way.” I shoved up to my feet. This was the fight here.
I was sick of the killing.
I could not handle one more body, especially not someone I knew.
My chest heaved. “Ask it in a different way.”
I liked Jake. I was hurt by what he said, but he wasn’t on my list anymore.
I frowned. “What happened with Cavers?”
“None of your business!” he erupted, his hands flying in the air, but he was moving farther away from me. His back hit the wall, and he let me see him, how haunted he was, how stricken. He let it all out for me to see and read, though I wasn’t sure he knew it. “I don’t run my decisions through some pussy I like plowing.”
Okay, now I was mad.
“Take that back,” I said quietly.
He swore, low and long. Then he moved, flipping a chair into the wall. It impaled there, and the wall held it. It looked like an abstract piece of art.
“Take it back!” I clipped out, folding my arms over my chest.
He looked away.
I didn’t know what was going on here, but fuck him if he didn’t take back calling me pussy he liked to plow.
I screamed, “Take it back!”
“No!” He was across the room and in my face in the next second. I braced myself, but he didn’t touch me.
He stopped just short of it, his breath in my cheek, his eyes taking me in, scanning my face.
He was panicking.
I saw it now, lurking there.
Good! That filled me with satisfaction.
My chest started pounding.
No, that was my heart.
It was thumping in my chest, getting stronger, faster—a steady and powerful beat now. I could feel it all the way to my toes—in my fingers, my neck. His eyes lingered on my lips.
He couldn’t look away.
Stark hunger flashed in his eyes, and he raised a hand, holding it in the air.
It curved gently, as if he wanted to touch my neck, or the side of my face.
But he didn’t move. He just held it there, a few inches from my skin.
His eyes lifted to mine. “You bitch.”
My heart still pounded, trying to reach him. “You’re a murdering asshole,” I whispered back, seething.
“What?”he sneered. “You want to fuck now? Forget you put a fucking gun to your head?”
“Don’t kill Jake.”
He pressed into me, his eyes wild, on the edge of control. “Why?” His breath was hot on me. He bent down, his eyes glittering now.
Then he found his control. He rested one hand against the wall, next to my head. The other found my hip and slid up, moving under my shirt, raising it.
God. I almost moaned.
Wetness flooded me, and I started to throb.
I wanted him.
So fucking bad.
He bent and his lips grazed over mine, my cheeks, my chin. Tingles raced through me.
Jesus.
I wanted him deep inside of me. I shifted, pressing against him, and both of us groaned from the contact.
I began moving, a slow grind, and he was quiet, grinding back.
This was different from the other times.
The terms had flipped. Roles were changing. Everything was being upended between us.

I pondered on what to say in my review for this book. I only started reading books by Tijan earlier this year when I was asked to read an arc of The Insiders. Needless to say, her writing blew me away and I knew I had to read whatever she releases. And she did not let me down with Canary. This book was nothing like any other mafia book I have read before.

Canary is a very cumbersome, but amazing story. Thera are so many twists and turns that you never know what is going to happen next. However, with Tijan’s writing, everything flows at a steady pace and blends so perfectly.

There is no shortage of action, angst, drama, steam and emotions. Tijan delivers everything in this unique and gripping mafia story.

Canary is told in dual POV’s but mostly from our heroines’. She goes by many names but found herself walking into this side of life on her own, to find her sister. Raize, our hero is coldblooded killer. He kills without remorse and is damn good at what he does. He finds himself having to rely on the select few on his team to thrive and survive.

And that is all I am saying about Canary. This book is riddled with so much more than you can think of. I have ready many mafia books and this was like nothing I have read before. Tijan pulls readers in from the start and never lets them go, even long after the story ends.

Canary is a must read!!
