Release Day Blitz & Review…Sinful Enemy by M. Robinson

by Courtney

SINFUL ENEMY

 
 

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author M. Robinson comes an
enemies to lovers, surprise baby, standalone romance.

She’s my best friend’s twin sister and off-limits. We grew up together, but she wanted to escape the small-town life and was headed to New York City to chase her dreams. 

The night before she leaves, I find her waiting for me in my bed. Telling me to give her something to come home to.

 

I can’t. 

Instead, I kicked her out of my life, instantly making us enemies.

 

Ten years later, we run into each other while I’m in NYC on business for my ranch, and that night changes everything between us. Not just because I’m determined to right my wrongs, but because she just showed up on my front door three months later…  

 

 

Pregnant with my baby.

Is there a sub-genre that Monica does not write well in??

Sinful Enemy is the third book in the Beckham Dynasty and she definitely knows how to write a compelling cowboy romance.

I knew I was going to love Hazel from the get-go. After getting her heart crushed by Ledger before she set off for college, she finds herself in the perfect position to exact her revenge on him. And I love her every bit for doing what she did.

But now they both find themselves in a position they never anticipated. And damn does it get entertaining!!

Monica delivers the an entertaining read with lots of spice and right touch of angst between these two. I read this book in one day; I could not stop turning the pages, even I wanted to (which I didn’t).

A great addition this series. Each book in the series can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading them in order. However, this one would be the perfect jump in too into this series. It’ll just prompt you to go back and read the others.

Cover Reveal…I Wish I Would’ve Told You by Whitney G.

by Courtney

 

Cover Reveal: I Wish I Would’ve Told You

Author: Whitney G. 

Publication Date: August 31, 2023

Genre: Contemporary Romance  

 

Synopsis

WARNING: DO NOT READ THE BLURB FOR THIS BOOK.

It’s better if you go in BLIND, trust me…

But if you *have* to know what you’re getting yourself into, you can read the synopsis below.

She lied to me.

Not once, not twice.

This entire time.

To her, I was the “cliche Mr. Popular,” the star quarterback who owned Friday nights.

To me, she was the goth geek in the bleachers, playing clarinet in the band.

Despite our differences, I climbed through her window every night.

Even when we started college.

She was the only person who truly understood me, and I couldn’t stay away from her if I tried.

Our connection was hot and toxic, but we never dared to put out the flames.

We fell too hard, too fast…

And this wouldn’t have been a problem except for the fact that I was already dating someone else.

Her sister.

**See? That’s why you shouldn’t have read this blurb and went in blind. Alas, this is an emotional ride of a romance with toxic undertones that will drive you to some unexpected places. The author just felt like writing this story one day, so don’t say you weren’t warned about what you were getting into.**

Release Day Blitz…I Could Never by Penelope Ward

by Courtney

Title: I Could Never
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Forbidden Romance/Enemies to Lovers
Release Date: August 21, 2023
BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new forbidden, enemies-to-lovers story…

It all started with an unexpected phone call.
Two years after my fiancé passed away in an accident, his father died suddenly, leaving Brad’s adult, special-needs brother with no one to care for him.
The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where I’d be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home.
The last thing I ever expected?
I wouldn’t be taking care of him alone.
Josh Mathers, my fiance’s best friend—who also happened to be my sworn enemy—insisted he was the better person for the job. He told me to go back to California, and I told him where he could stick that demand.
Our disdain for each other wasn’t anything new. It dated back to a text I’d accidentally read years ago.
We hated each other. But we both loved Scottie, so neither of us budged.
Now we were living together in a tiny house—with one available bedroom. Thank goodness it was only temporary.
Over time, I realized the broody jerk I thought I knew was different than I’d imagined.
I found myself slowly growing attached to someone I once considered the enemy…and growing attracted to him.
Sure, both of us were guilt-ridden over Brad. We were also two grown people with pent-up frustration toward one another—stuck in a cabin in the woods.
But this was Josh.

I could never.

EXCERPT
Copyright © 2023 by Penelope Ward

Josh sat at the table, casually having coffee as I walked into the house after my drive home from the salon. The smell of cigarettes emanated from him. He hadn’t smelled like that since the first day he arrived.
“Where’s Scottie?” I asked.
“In his room,” he answered without making eye contact.
I stated the obvious. “You smell like smoke.”
“Must be the firewood.” He brought his mug to his mouth.
“Bullsh*t. The pellet stove doesn’t emit any fumes.”
“Yeah. I caved and had one. Big deal.” He pointed toward the door. “I did it outside, though, while keeping an eye on Scottie through the window.”
“You’d been doing so well. What happened?”
He still wasn’t looking at me, and instead stared straight ahead. “Just human, I guess.”
Then something in front of him on the table caught my attention: pieces of ripped pages piled atop…my journal.
A rush of adrenaline shot through me. “Why do you have that?”
“It’s apparently your diary.”
“I’m quite aware of that.” My heart began to pound. “You were snooping in my room?”
He shot daggers at me. “Think, Carly. Of the two guys in this house, who is the one more likely to have been ransacking your room?”
“You were supposed to be watching him while I was at the salon,” I yelled.
“God forbid I take a piss in peace. Is it not bad enough that I’m showering with him now? Getting my balls tugged?”
I wanted to laugh, but this moment was far from funny.
“Scottie ripped those pages out?”
“The notebook is bright orange, like his iPad cover. Probably caught his attention. The drawer next to your bed was open, so he must have gone in there. I assume that’s where you kept it. Admittedly, I’d been letting him hang out in your room, but you sometimes do, too. I went to check on him, make sure he wasn’t doing anything bad, and found those pages strewn about.” A vein popped in his neck.
Josh was angry. Why? I should’ve been the angry one.
“Did you read it?”
“I only happened to see what was on the pages he ripped. I didn’t read anything else once I figured out what the hell it was.”
This is bad. Starting to sweat, I asked, “But how much did you see?”
He stood up from his seat and slowly approached me. With each step he took toward me, I took one back. When we could go no farther, he placed his arms on either side of me, leaning his hands against the wall. And I forgot how to breathe.
Fear. Arousal. Embarrassment. You name it, I was feeling it right now. Every emotion hit me at once.
His breath grazed my face. “How much did I actually see?” He paused. “Enough to know you think I’m an evil pig.”
Ugh. No. Now his anger made sense.
When he backed away, I walked over to the ripped pages on the table and sifted through them.
“It’s the last one, for reference,” he noted.
I read what I’d written the other night.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Something Like Normal: Book One by Monica James

by Courtney

Something like Normal

Book One

Monica James 

I have a secret…

And I’ve kept this secret hidden since I was eight years old. But I’ll no longer allow my past to define me.

A fateful decision has left me a fugitive on the run. I should be afraid, yet I’ve never felt more alive.

My name is Mia Lee, but that person died the night I spilled blood and didn’t feel a thing. 

I’m on a Greyhound bus, ready to start a new life. A life that includes finding my mother, who left without a word when I was three. 

But I end up meeting four people who change my life forever. And one person, in particular, shakes things up beyond repair. 

Quinn Berkeley.  

He’s just as damaged as I am. And harbors secrets just as dark as mine. But he gives me hope that living a normal life is within reach. 

However, the blood on my hands has forever stained my soul. 

No one can outrun their past. 

Especially one filled with bitter memories that refuse to remain…dead.

I did not read this book when it was originally released back in 2014 so I jumped at the chance to read it this go around.

Mia/Paige has definitely lived a horrific and unthinkable life since the age of 8. It has definitely hardened her and shaped her into the fierce 19-year-old she is today.

Hoping to make a new life, she stops in a town in hopes of just earning enough money to continue on her journey to her next destination. What she had not anticipated was finding people who would welcome and accept her as she is.

Monica wrote a gripping dark romance that will have readers begging for the next installment (thank goodness we don’t have long to wait). The pacing of this story was perfect as it allowed for everything to play out naturally and nothing felt forced to happen just to create more drama.

I loved everything about this book. The characters are unique – some you will love, some you will hate, but these characters will bring out strong feelings and that’s the whole point.

I loved the layers this story has and cannot wait to see what happens next.

Release Day Blitz…The Proposal by Adriana Locke

by Courtney

An unexpected proposal occurs when a Vegas oops marriage turns into a marriage of convenience between a rugby player and his best friend’s little sister.

The Proposal by Adriana Locke is now live! 

Breaking News: Rugby’s bad boy marries his best friend’s little sister

If Renn Brewer would’ve asked me to marry him, I would’ve said no.

Why?

One, his reputation precedes him. His name is in the headlines at least once a month. Two, he’s not just my brother’s best friend. They’re teammates. And three, I’m in my self-care era. 

Unfortunately, a version of me equates self-care with bad choices.

The cocktail in my hand—similar to the one that got me into this situation—is the prettiest shade of pink. It’s almost the same color as the giant rock on my left hand. And instead of discussing an annulment, I’m considering a 90-day marriage of convenience to the man I accidentally married in Las Vegas.

Renn didn’t propose marriage. But he does deliver a proposal I might be unable to turn down.

Cover Reveal…Sinclair Duet by Aleatha Romig

by Courtney

SINCLAIR DUET

Aleatha Romig

Release Dates: September 14 & October 16

Remembering Passion

 

Damien Sinclair is a force of nature, the beauty of a sunset over the ocean while capable of devastating hurricane-strength winds. At one time, he’d held my heart in his hands. That was until the day I walked away.

I didn’t leave him because I didn’t love him. It was that loving him was too much, an all-encompassing affair. In his presence, I failed to exist.

For two years, I worked to build a life free from Damien’s irresistible pull. I succeeded until one fate-filled afternoon I found myself seated by his side for a long flight. Unbelievably, we were headed to the same destination. His sinfully charming smile, charisma, and devilish smirk reminded me of all we’d shared.

Forgetting him had been agony.

Will I survive remembering?

Have you been Aleatha’d?

The Sinclair Duet is a scorching hot, second-chance romance filled with the suspense and intrigue you’ve come to expect from New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig.

 

 

 

Rekindling Desire

In a blink of an eye, the tables turned.
I’m Damien Sinclair, a man always in control.
I thrive on the knowledge that my word is the final—gospel.
In the millisecond I hesitated… Gabriella Crystal stepped in. I’m damn glad she did, but I will forever be in her debt.
Ella holds not only my heart, but my future, my company, and everything I hold dear in her hands. The love we once shared is palpable, a glowing ember in the dying ash. To save my world, that ember must grow, must ignite and burst into the flames of desire.
She can never know the power she holds.
It’s the only way to save all I live for.

Have you been Aleatha’d?

The Sinclair Duet is a scorching hot, second-chance romance filled with the suspense and intrigue you’ve come to expect from New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig.

*REKINDLING DESIRE is book two, the conclusion of the Sinclair duet.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Broody Nerd by Autumn Grey

by Courtney
 
 
 
Title: Broody Nerd
A Cocky Hero Club Novel
Author: Autumn Grey
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Fake Dating/Best Friend’s Brother/Forced Proximity

Release Date: August 13, 2023
 
 
Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward are excited to bring you the Cocky Hero Club: original works from various authors inspired by Keeland and Ward’s New York Times bestselling Cocky Bastard series.
 

BLURB

My love life has been epic.

Epically disastrous.
 
But that’s all in the past. I put my unrequited crush on Zach, my best friend’s grumpy brother, behind me years ago. My ex-fiancé, the jerk who left me at the altar, is also in my emotional rearview. Now, I’m focusing on my career. I don’t have time for romance.
Then my ex shows up and everything changes.
Zach comes to my defense in a big way, pretending to be my boyfriend. Then he suggests we keep up our mutually beneficial fake relationship for a few more months.
And it’s not long before I realize my crush on Zach might not be as over as I’d hoped.
It might not be as unrequited as I’d thought, either.
But as much as I’d love to trust him, to give him a second chance, I’m not sure I can. I gave him my heart once and he broke it.
This time, I’m afraid trust might be a luxury I can’t afford.
 

Broody Nerd, part of Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward’s Cocky Hero world, is a light-hearted, contemporary romance standalone featuring plenty of mutual pining, a strong, curvy heroine, and a slightly nerdy, growly hero. Happily ever after guaranteed…along with a slow-burn romance.

Welcome back Autumn Grey!! Oh, how I have missed your writing and your stories.

Broody Nerd is exactly what you get in this book.

Zach is Chloe’s best friend older brother. And also the first guy to break her heart. But he’s also been there to support her through other difficult times.

Broody Nerd is a slow burn, best friend’s brother romance and I am here for it.

I thoroughly enjoyed how this story played out. It was very real and authentic and just made me love them both so much.

The only reason this isn’t 5 stars is I wanted more of them after everything happened. Plus there’s one particular part of Chloe’s job that was very important to her & once she achieved that (read to find out), it was sort of took a backseat. I felt it should’ve stayed revelant through the end.

Overall, I loved this book and I’m excited to read more from her.

AUTHOR BIO
Autumn enjoys writing angsty romance, featuring flawed and quirky characters and hard-won happy ever afters.

Release Day Blitz…My Perfect Screwup by Ryan Taylor & Josh Harwood

MY PERFECT SCREWUP
by Ryan Taylor & Joshua Harwood


Release Date: August 9, 2023


Cover Design:

Cate Ashwood Designs

Photo:

Xram Ragde
Model:

Edu Volpato


Genre: M/M Contemporary Romance

Trope: Second chance, age-gap, found family, college professor/student, HEA


Synopsis

Daniel

I got my Ph.D. and a fantastic teaching job by keeping my nose to the grindstone and avoiding relationships. Not that I didn’t like men—quite the opposite—but getting involved took time I didn’t have.

One summer evening, I went out for a drink and met the most beautiful guy I’d ever seen. After an unforgettable night, I couldn’t wait to meet up again, but I missed our date. Imagine my panic when I realized we’d forgotten to trade numbers.

Caleb

A summer job as a law firm intern kept me busy, but one night, I needed to blow off some steam. At the bar, a gorgeous man saved me from an overzealous admirer. My rescuer gave me the kiss of my life, and I wound up in his bed. After the night turned out to be even better than the kiss, we made a date to meet again. Unfortunately, he no-showed on me, leaving me disappointed and confused for months.

The following spring, when I showed up for a class taught by some hotshot new professor, a breathtaking man walked into the room. My heart stopped because my new professor was the guy who stood me up last summer. Was I glad to see him? I wasn’t sure. But one thing was certain—I was the very last person he wanted in his class.

One man is trying to get tenure in the job of his dreams; the other is set to graduate and begin law school. Life brought them together under random circumstances, and their path isn’t an easy one. How can they make a relationship work without sacrificing everything?

My Perfect Screwup is a contemporary gay romance involving a missed opportunity and second chance to get it right. The book includes a relationship between a college professor and student, age gap, unwavering connection, incendiary heat, found family, and dreamy HEA.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Start Us Up by Lexi Blake

by Courtney

Start Us Up by Lexi Blake is now live! 

From New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake, discover The Park Avenue Promise Series…

Three young women make a pact in high school—
to always be friends and to one day make it big in Manhattan.

She’s a high-tech boss who lost it all…

Ivy Jensen was the darling of the tech world, right up until her company fell apart completely after she trusted the wrong person. Her reputation in tatters, she finds herself back in the tiny apartment she grew up in, living with her mom. When a group of angel investors offer her a meeting, she knows she has to come up with the new big idea or her career is over.

He’s an up and coming coder…

Heath Marino has always been fascinated with writing code. He’s worked on a dozen games and apps and is considered one of the industry’s more eccentric talents. But now he’s back in New York to spend time with his grandmother. She was known as one of the city’s greatest matchmakers, and he wants to know why. Surely there’s some kind of code in his grandmother’s methods, and he’s going to find them.

When Ivy meets Heath it’s instant attraction, but she’s got a career to get back to and he just might be her on-ramp. It could be a perfect partnership or absolute heartbreak.

Start Us Up is the first book in Lexi’s newest series, Park Ave Promise.

This book was right down the middle enjoyable for me. I did not hate it but it also did not wow, which honestly surprised me because I love just about anything that Lexi writes.

Start Us Up is definitely woman’s fiction than romance as it primarily focuses on Ivy’s personal growth with a tad of romance sprinkled throughout. I can read just about anything but having this promoted as a romance, it felt a bit misleading and I think that played into my expectations.

This book is strong and very well written. You can tell that Lexi did her own research, especially when it comes to the more techy aspect of this book and all the ins and outs of that world. The depth she brings to her characters and their interactions definitely kept this book entertaining.

Overall, it’s a good read.
