Release Day Blitz & Review…My Darling Jane by Ilsa Madden-Mills

My Darling Jane by Ilsa Madden-Mills is now live!

Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills returns with a sexy he-falls-first sports romance about a quarterback and his frenemy-matchmaker.

On an ordinary day, Jane Darling wouldn’t be caught dead in a sports bar wearing a toga with angel wings. But she’s desperate to launch her matchmaking business to secure her young daughter’s future.

Her mission: to attract new clients at any cost.

Her Cupid outfit catches the eye of New York’s beloved star quarterback, Jasper Jannich. She and Jasper have always clashed, but when a pushy admirer goes too far, he steps in as an unexpected knight in shining armor.

He offers a tantalizing proposal: to be Cupid’s Arrow’s premier client. Reluctantly, Jane agrees, aware of the business potential despite her reservations about Jasper and his playboy reputation.
As she sets him up on date after date, it grows clear that Jane’s the only woman he wants.

She is his goal, his endgame.

She’s not not interested…but her heart has been burned before. To get anywhere, they’ll need courage and faith.

Best way to describe this book is straightforward, sports romance.

Jasper absolutely won me over in this book and is the true reason I rated this book the way I did. Which says alot because we don’t get his POV at all in this story.

Jane – she took some time to warm up to. I think it would have helped to have more scenes with her daughter (she is Jane’s main focus) and seeing that side of Jane. I do wish there were more scenes overall with her daughter to show that connection between all of them.

My Darling Jane moves quickly and told only from one POV. Ilsa delivers some great spicy moments and some good humor.

Overall, it’s a good read, especially if you enjoy stories that aren’t filled with too much depth.

I do look forward to more from this series.

Genre: Standalone Thriller

Release Date: June 17, 2025

BLURB

As a college English professor, Elizabeth looks forward to the start of each new semester teaching her creative writing seminar. At least until she reads chapter one of The Reckoning, a tale about a high school senior who has an affair with her teacher. To anyone else it would be the beginning of a great page-turner, but to Elizabeth it is the beginning of the end.

She knows this story. It’s all familiar because she lived it. The girl in the story was her best friend Jocelyn, and Elizabeth knows exactly how the story will end—with the teacher dead. Because she was the one who killed him.

Someone knows what Elizabeth did twenty years ago and her secret is about to be exposed, but who is the mystery student submitting the chapters? In an effort to find out, Elizabeth returns to her Louisiana hometown where it soon becomes clear that no matter how many years have gone by, she can’t escape her past.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Beautiful Devil by Rachel Leigh

Beautiful Devil by Rachel Leigh is now live!

A Deliciously Sexy Ex-Boyfriend’s Rival, New Adult, Hockey Romance by USA Today and International Bestselling Author Rachel Leigh.

Two sports collide when a feisty sideline cheerleader meets her match in an arrogant hockey player who is more than just his bad boy reputation.

I fell for the wrong Devil…

Hayes Madden was never on my dance card. He’s an egotistical jock who plays for the Devil’s hockey team —not to mention, he’s my boyfriend’s biggest rival.

His sculpted abs and charm do nothing for me. Besides, I’m a cheerleader, not a puck bunny.

When a very graphic video of me and my ex is sent to the entire student roster at Rosewood-U, rumors quickly spread and, to my surprise, Hayes is my unlikely knight in shining armor.

Before long, I find myself falling for the hidden side of him he doesn’t let anyone else see.

It’s time for me to learn if this is all a strategic act of revenge against his nemesis, or if Hayes really is the beautiful devil I’ve fallen for.

This title couldn’t be more perfect for this story.

Rachel starts this story off with a bang and keeps the storyline moving throughout the entirety of the book.

I really enjoyed how readers could see the relationship building between Hayes & Brogan – we are just told but can truly see this play out.

Hayes was quite the surprise. Readers get to see him grow and learn so much.

Brogan is force to be reckoned with. I loved her strength and how she took control of the narrative.

Rachel wrote a terrific story that’s engaging with characters that had some great depth to them. I loo forward to more books from her.

Release Day Blitz…The Invitation by Adriana Locke

The Invitation by Adriana Locke is now live!

I hate Ripley Brewer.

So, why am I cuddling on his lap, peering into his ocean-blue eyes while cameras record our every move?

My best friend needs my help to save her career, and I would do anything for her. Besides, filming a reality show sounds fun … until Ripley shows up to play the role of my fake boyfriend.

As always, we nearly come to blows within minutes of seeing each other. The playboy billionaire accuses me of a setup, but I insist I’d rather live in a world without carbs than spend a minute with him.

At some point during the melee, we sign contracts. I can’t stand the look of his six feet two inches of chiseled abs and broad shoulders. And I loathe his arrogance. But now that he’s my pretend beau, I’m stuck acting like I’m falling in love with my biggest enemy.

It turns out that Ripley’s a good actor, too. Every soft touch on the small of my back makes my heart thump faster. His sultry smirk feels like it’s only for me. I should detest every word that passes his kissable lips.

Is this all a ruse, or does Ripley want to end this episode of The Invitation going from enemies to lovers? Because now? I’m not convinced I can despise him anymore.

Y’all That Graphic

Photographer:

Jane Ashley Converse Photography

Model:

Jordan Wheeler

Genre: Contemporary Romance Standalone

Trope: Age-gap, workplace romance, boss/employee, missed connection, small town

Synopsis

It was the stuff rom-coms are made of—meet a girl in an airport bar.

Buy her a drink.

Get her number.

Then I smudged it. Literally.

A year later, I’m still kicking myself for letting her get away. But I have bigger things to worry about. Like running my family’s Fortune 500 company.

Until she shows up in my small town.

As my newest employee.

The spark is back in an instant.

And our plan to just be friends? Forget about it.

Especially once I’ve tasted her lips.

The pull between us is just as strong as it was a year ago. But thanks to the company’s no-fraternization policy, sneaking around only makes things hotter between us.

Margeaux is as focused and driven as I am, with goals and plans of her own.

I refuse to stand in the way.

But now all of that is on the line.

Turns out, our relationship isn’t as secret as we think.

Forcing us to choose—our hearts or our careers.

Text Appeal by Kylie Scott is now live!

Love enters the chat in this hilarious, heartfelt rom com by New York Times bestselling and Audie award-winning author Kylie Scott.

Romance author Riley Cooper always dreamed of living by the water. But within a day of landing in the charming seaside town of Port Stewart to work on her latest book, she’s getting calls and texts for some dude on her new number. Weird ones. Sad ones. Sexy ones. Ones that make her want to meet him. For curiosity’s sake…if nothing else.

After years of being on-again, off-again with his high school sweetheart, all Connor wants is to move on with his life. If only everyone in Port Stewart would let him. What he needs is to be seen with someone else. So when fate puts him in the path of the new girl in town who got his old number, faking it together seems like the perfect solution.

Spending time with the gorgeous former prom king might be great research for Riley’s romance writing…if only she can keep her feelings in check. But the more she gets to know him, the harder she’s falling. Can their serendipitous meeting turn into something real and true?

Text Appeal is a really cute fake dating story.

The blurb is truly all you need to know before reading this one. Or hell, jump right into after reading this review with the knowledge that this is a funny fake dating story.

This story is only told from Riley’s POV, which did hurt the book a bit for me as I wanted to get a better understanding Connor and all his thoughts.

Kylie explains the ins and outs of this small town, Connor’s family and how Riley plays into everything so that does help readers get an idea of why things happen.

Overall, it’s a really entertaining story with great chemistry between characters that comes naturally.
