Cover Reveal…Hard Pass by Sara Ney


“Hard pass.”
That’s what the last girl I slept with said when she got her first sober glimpse of me. She laughed, walked out of my penthouse—and I never saw her again. It doesn’t matter that I’m a rich, professional athlete; what mattered was my face.
Beauty might only be skin deep for some—but I know better.

“Pay up.”
That’s what the last girl I spoke to said over the phone when I made her an offer she couldn’t refuse. Desperate to sell a set of rare baseball cards, she’s clever and entertaining. I’m instantly smitten, but nowhere ready to reveal myself. Thank god she has no idea who I am—or what I look like.
I’m a professional athlete–how hard can playing the love game be?

Cover Reveal….The Modern Gentleman by Meghan Quinn

THE MODERN GENTLEMAN COVER REVEAL!!

MQModernGentlemanCover55x85_HIGH

Have you ever hit rock bottom?

I embarrassingly have.

It’s why I’m wearing my girl’s decorative scarf over my head, clutching her lady drink to my chest, and singing ever so softly to Joni Mitchell while swaying back and forth.

This is what therapists refer to as LOSING IT.

Oldest story in the book: boy meets girl, boy falls for girl, boy screws up MASSIVELY, girl tells boy to suffocate in the fruits of his very own unborn children.

Heard it before? I’m sure you have.

So what’s so different about this story? Well, it’s about me, The Modern Gentleman, New York City’s top advice columnist, and my rather ungraceful downfall from my pristinely polished pedestal.

It’s about a girl I met who threw all my proven theories to the wind and left me awkward, needy, and absolutely head-over-wingtipped shoes in love.

This is a story about June Lacy and how she single-handedly dismantled The Modern Gentleman.

THE MODERN GENTLEMAN RELEASES MAY 14TH!

Release Day Blitz & Review….The Hating Season by K.A. Linde

Release Date: April 28

Court Kensington is a thorn in my side.
I’m hired to clean up his badboy image, which would’ve been easy if my life wasn’t falling apart.
First, I catch my movie star husband having an affair with his co-star. Then when I return to work, my job is at stake, because Court has gotten himself into trouble…again.
Instead of getting him back in line, I find myself falling for his charm. And into his bed. And against the wall. And, and, and…
Except Kensington charm shouldn’t work on me. Not when I’ve sworn to never ever sleep with a client.
I had good intentions.
I really did.
But we all know the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Amazon | Nook | Apple | Kobo | Google Play

The Hating Season is a contemporary romance full of angst, drama and a frowned upon romance. It is a complete standalone, however, I would highly recommend reading these books in order to get the best and all-around full story. The Hating Season is part of a series, The Seasons, but it is a spin-off of Linde’s Cruel Trilogy.

Court Kensington needs to have his image cleaned up after he had a rather unfortunate and complicated breakup. It’s not only for his own self-image but also because his mother is running for re-election and doesn’t need to be adding additional stress.

Anna English is one of the best publicist’s for Hollywood’s elite in LA. However, being a publicist for a social elite in New York is a whole other area. There is a reason that Anna excels at what she does – she doesn’t let any client get under her skin or under her in bed.

But now Anna finds herself being thrust into the spotlight with her movie star husband cheating on her and the paparazzi popping up and printing pictures and stories that fit their agenda. And Court has found himself in more deep water just weeks before the election.

However, Anna and Court find themselves needing one another for far more reasons than business. As much as Anna thinks she can resist the Kensington charm, she finds herself seeing another side of Court that makes it much harder than she thought.

I really, really enjoyed this story. It has all the angst, drama and sexy times that I love from Linde. We get to see the rest of the crew too in here and see where things are with all of them, but it never detracts from the story. Linde does a great job of keeping things entertaining, steam and moving at the right pace. I also love that she keeps readers on their toes about two more members of the crew that are coming up in the next book.

Another great book from the Upper East Side Crew and I am looking forward to Camden and Katherine’s story.

Cover Reveal….Twisted Circles by Claire Contreras

When someone tells you who you are, do you believe them?

The first question the cops asked me was if anything out of the ordinary happened to me lately.

When I woke up this morning in the room of a mental institution I couldn’t remember a thing – not my name nor how I got there. Not how I left or how I ended up in that interrogation room.

The only thing I knew came from the contents inside my bag. A wallet, a student ID, a key that opened an unknown door, and two notebooks.

They tell me my name. It matches my IDs.

They tell me my story. I shut my eyes and try to piece it together, but can’t.

They tell me why they picked me up in the first place. They thought I was my sister. My brain stays stuck there. I try to rewind and fast-forward, as if my memories were on a videotape, but it’s no use. I can’t recall having a sister.

They put me back in the car and drop me off in front of a mansion they call The Manor and I discover what the mysterious key in my backpack opens the front door, and just as quickly wish I’d never unlocked it at all.

Cover Reveal…Pride by Willow Aster

Cover designed by: Hang Le: https://www.facebook.com/designsbyhangle

Photographer: Wander Aguiar Photography: https://www.facebook.com/WANDER.AGUIAR.PHOTOGRAPHY/

Model: Neil Ingham

I was raised to be Jadon Safrin’s enemy.

My father was the king of Alidonia and wanted to rule all of the kingdoms, which meant trouble for Jadon when he became king of Farrow.

When war threatened to break out between our countries and I met Jadon face-to-face, I realized I could become his greatest weakness.

I could either do the right thing, or I could let him crash and burn, paving the way for my family to get their greatest wish.

But I’d never met a man like Jadon, pure of heart and unparalleled bravery, and when all was said and done, maybe in truth, I was nothing but a pawn.

He would be my demise.

Cover Reveal…The Hunter by L.J. Shen

Hunter - CR banner

Boston’s debauched elite is going up in flames, and it’s the Fitzpatrick family that set it on fire.

The Hunter, an all-new dazzling and delicious contemporary romance from USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen is coming May 11th and we have the stunning cover!

HUNTER_FINAL 4.35.30 PM

Hunter

I didn’t mean to star in a sex tape, okay?

It was just one of those unexplainable things. Like Stonehenge, Police Academy 2, and morning glory clouds.

It just happened.

Now my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Boston’s nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan.

The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my family’s oil company.

Little does she know, that’s not the only pipe I’ll be laying…

Sailor

I didn’t want this gig, okay?

But the deal was too sweet to walk away from.

I needed the public endorsement; Hunter needed a nanny.

Besides, what’s six months in the grand scheme of things?

It’s not like I’m in danger of falling in love with the appallingly gorgeous, charismatic gazillionaire who happens to be one of Boston’s most eligible bachelors.

No. I will remain immune to Hunter Fitzpatrick’s charm.

Even at the cost of losing everything I have.

Even at the cost of burning down his kingdom.

Master of Salt & Bones by Keri Lake…Review

Release Date: April 22

When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He’d ride up on his white steed and break the curse I’ve been fated to carry since the day I was born.

Funny how things changed over time. How the fairy tale twisted into something far more crooked, darker than I ever imagined.
In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.
Lucian Blackthorne is as cursed as I am, and equally shunned by the locals, the fishers of men, who believe him to be the devil in the flesh.
Perhaps he is, with the way his amber eyes draw me in, ignite me like an infernal blaze. And the sins he whispers in my ear are as wickedly intoxicating as the man himself.
Yet, his touch is heaven and his will is my weakness.

He calls us forbidden, an unsalvageable tragedy, with no happy end. Maybe we are. But in this story, her’s the one who needs saving.

Keri Lake’s newest release, Master of Salt & Bones, is a twisted and suspenseful dark romance. It may not be as dark as her other books, but it showcases the craft of Keri’s talent in writing unique stories.

Master of Salt and Bones tells a tale about a man’s family and the rumors that surround them. He is known as the Devil of Bonesalt and he truly has no qualms living up to that name. Lucian’s family own’s one the country’s largest shipping companies but everyone believes there is more than the family business. The town’s people tell tales and rumors of what happens at Blackthorne Castle but none truly know of the horrors that hide all that stone, glass and salt.

Isa is hired as companion for Lucian’s mother. Isa is determined to get out of their town and leave her past behind. She has an extraordinary gift being about to memorize music but what good does it do her when she has no money. She is hoping that money she makes working for Blackthorne family will get her out of town quickly and never have to return. What she never intended was to feel at peace and home within the castle where the devil reigns.

Isa is an intriguing surprise to Lucian. He is used to everyone cowering to him, avoiding him or in the least doing what he requests. Isa is snarky, challenging and even daring toward Lucian. As much as he warns her away, she is determined to not back down.

Lucian and Isa are quite an intriguing pair. They are both harboring secrets from everyone; secrets that have kept them from going over the edge. But what happens when those two people are able to poke holes through the other’s walls and yet still find the balance to keep them standing??

Keri weaves a very haunting story that she slowly unwinds as pieces start to fall. There were times that the story moved slower than I would have liked, but I still enjoyed every bit of it. I loved how Keri carves these tortured characters into ones you find yourself loving. She is a master at her craft and not one story, character or plot is ever the same.

Master of Salt & Bones is another masterpiece from Keri Lake.

Meet Keri Lake

Release Day Blitz & Review….`Til The Last Lyric by M. Robinson

Release Date: April 21
From Wall Street Journal & USA Bestselling Author M. Robinson, comes a rock star contemporary romance filled with angst and all the feels.

Once upon a time…
There was a little girl who believed in fairy tales and happily ever afters.
Hoping.
Praying.
Waiting…
For her prince to come.
Together they’d conquer the world.
Slaying dragons, demons, and villains.
Until her Prince Charming let his demons prevail.
She cried and begged and prayed.
She hated him.
She loved him.
She couldn’t save him.
“I’m sorry.”
“I love you.”
Were five words she despised more than anything.
Her fairy tale had become her worst nightmare.
She didn’t know how much more she could take.
She didn’t know love could turn into hate.
There were so many things she didn’t know.
Especially, how to tell him, “No.”
Grab Your Copy Here:

Til the Last Lyric is the conclusion to Life of Debachery duet by M. Robinson and she did not let us down.

We really got to know Cash in book 1 on how he got to be where he is today and what he has gone through and continue to battle daily. But what was missing (at least for me) was Journey’s story and we definitely got that in book 2.

Journey is truly the guiding light in this story. She makes Cash want to be a better man, partner and face the demons that have haunted him for years. All for her. But as time progresses, even years beyond Journey’s young age, she realizes that Cash needs to do all this for no one but himself. Until that happens, he will never move forward. That maybe the love between them can’t overshadow the demons that plague him daily.

This story is full of surprises, trials and tribulations between Cash and Journey. This book will drain you emotionally, but it is so worth it. It is riddled with love, lost, hurt, hope and a myriad of other emotions that make this story so realistic.

I cannot urge readers enough to read this duet. Cash and Journey’s story was so much more than I had anticipated. Their story will consume you and leave you with happy tears rolling down your cheeks.

Grab Book 1, From The First Verse in the Life of Debauchery Series Here!
