Falling For Mr. Wright by Robyn Neeley…ARC Review

by Jilly

Falling for Mr. Wright is out TODAY!

Synopsis:

After being dumped two weeks before his wedding, civil engineer Ryan Wright’s not interested in love. Been there, done that, had the wedding deposits to prove it. Still, he can’t help lusting after the fiery redheaded executive assistant who’s stirring up feelings that aren’t exactly appropriate for the office.

Sarah Leonard is determined to make the CEO fall in love with her. To execute her plan, she’s going to need a little help in the form of her lunch buddy, the 6’2” office hottie who just so happens to be their boss’s best friend. Who better to tell Sarah everything she needs to know to win the other man’s heart?

Ryan agrees to help Sarah put her plan in motion, but he has no intention of helping her win anything. In fact, it’s time to show his office crush that he’s the guy she should be falling for…

My Review:

Falling For Mr. Wright is the newest work from author Robyn Neeley and is the first book in her new Bachelors in Suits series. I fell in love with Ms. Neeley’s work a while back when I read her book BATTER UP and have enjoyed her writing ever since. This book was just another example of what I love so much about her writing.

I’m a sucker for a good friends to lovers story but what I love even more is a great underdog story and in a way, this book is a combo of those.

Girl wants boy. Boy isn’t interested in her but his best friend is. Girl and best friend find themselves spending more and more time together. Girl finally realizes she’s wanted the wrong guy all along. The stars finally align.

I mean who doesn’t love those kind of stories?! There’s something about the hero, longing from afar, that just gets me every darn time. No, I shouldn’t say that. I should say that when these type of stories are written by authors like Robyn Neeley, who can bring so much emotion and layers of relate-ability to her characters, is when my heartstrings are pulled on. From start to finish I adored this book. I loved the relationship between the characters. The long-standing friendship between two childhood friends. The bond the two men share. The girl who longed for one of them while the other guy longed for her in secret. The set of circumstances that led two of them on the path to a happy ever after. Man, it was all just SO GOOD!

I wish I could go back and enjoy this story for the first time all over again!

If you’re looking for a fun and flirty romance, this is a book to put on your list! Thank you, Ms. Neeley, for another fabulous read. I look forward to what you give us next!

Release Day Blitz…As Long As You Hate Me by Carrie Aarons

by Courtney

Title: As Long As You Hate Me

Author: Carrie Aarons

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: December 3, 2017

Blurb

Kara

High
school sweethearts. What a load of bull.

He might
have been my first love, but it never meant I wanted to hear lyrics containing
my name, love story, and *cringe* how I lost my virginity peddled out for the
masses to digest.

Seven
years later, and I’m still being haunted by his photo in every magazine, his
music on every radio station. I thought breakups meant that you never had to
see the person again. Especially when they ripped out your heart and made
hamburger meat with it.

But when
a chance encounter ends up going viral, I’m tied to him in a way I’ve always dreaded.
And the last person on earth I’d want to spend an hour with, much less a
lifetime, makes me an offer I can’t refuse. I might just be desperate enough to
take it.

Dean

The girl
in the song is real. And she’s made me a rich man.

I’ve
been dedicating choruses to her for a decade, she’s the muse she never wanted
to be. Off of our love, I’ve become famous … and a complete egomaniac.

When
another one of my flings goes off the rails, and lands me in hot water with the
media, my recording label is less than thrilled. And so comes the marching
orders from my agent; devise a scheme to transform into a squeaky clean good
guy.

Coming
face to face with her is something I’ve only dreamed about. If not to win her
back, then to at least apologize for the ways I’ve exploited her. Instead, I
rope her into my madness, proposing a deal only a masochist would accept.

Title: Outlaw Ride

Author: Sarah Hawthorne

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: February 5^th, 2018

About Outlaw Ride:

A recovering gambler

Hard-living biker Clint Remmick is fiercely loyal to the boys of the Demon Horde motorcycle club. He’s worked hard to redeem himself, and there’s no risk he won’t take to help his brothers, even when rivals threaten their safety. When his grandmother’s health takes a turn for the worse, though, he moves out of the clubhouse to take care of her. With his duties for the MC, he knows he can’t do it alone, so he hires Jo, a live-in nurse.

He didn’t expect her to heal him, as well.

A dedicated nurse

Jo Smith enjoys working for sweet old Anne Remmick, and she’s especially intrigued by her tattooed bad-boy grandson. Clint’s tough exterior scares her a little, but she feels a pull toward the sexy biker. Soon she’s dying to close the distance between them.

A losing bet

When Clint and his brothers have to pull a dangerous job in Reno, Jo is the perfect cover. With enemies around every corner, Clint needs to focus on keeping her safe—not the lust simmering between them. But when Clint is trapped by a rival club, Jo will have to save him…and their relationship.

Exclusive Excerpt:

“Would you like to dance?” He gestured toward the wide spot of linoleum in front of the piano.

Dancing with Clint meant having his arms around me, feeling his breath on my cheek. I wanted to jump up and accept his offer. I looked around and no one else was dancing. He was standing there with his tattoos showing and his leather vest, a real tough guy—he couldn’t really want to dance with me in the middle of the senior community center.

I laughed. “You’re joking, right?”

“Uh, no. I wasn’t joking.” Clint shrugged and grabbed a newspaper off the rack next to me. He sat back down. “I just thought it might be fun, something different.”

Oh shit. He really did want to dance and I had totally blown it. He opened the paper to the sports page and then skipped to the local section. I’d hurt his feelings because I was afraid to take a chance. What could I say to make this better?

“I’ll dance with you, young man.” The woman in her seventies got up and held her hand out to Clint. “My name is Alma, and I know what to do when a handsome man asks you to dance. You say yes.”

Clint was caught. He looked from Alma and then back to me, unsure of what to say.

“All right.” He got to his feet. “Foxtrot?”

Blurb:

Never underestimate a man who knows what he wants . . .

Broderick Wolfe is a man accustomed to getting what he wants. He will hunt it, fight for it, and make it his own.

Lillith Redd is a straight-laced attorney who’s dedicated her life to serving the people of her hometown of Gingham Lakes.

When Wolfe Industries sets its sights on leveling the old part of town and building a high-rise hotel in its place, Lillith steps up to go toe-to-toe to with its owner.

Little do either of them know, they’ve just met their match.

Hunt Me Down is a modern-day reboot of Little Red Riding Hood set in the world of A.L. Jackson’s bestselling FIGHT FOR ME series, originally a part of the Glamour Anthology and previously titled Red Hot Pursuit. This novella is a fun, flirty, uber sexy contemporary romance. The only fantasy happening here is in the bedroom. So hold on—you’re getting ready to sink your teeth into something hot and sweet.

Disclaimer: This book was originally titled Red Hot Pursuit in the Glamour anthology. It has not been changed or added to in any way. This novella does not need to be read before or after Show Me the Way and does not give away any spoilers for other Fight for Me novels.

Amazon

Paperback

Hunt Me Down is a sweet, sexy and sassy novella in Amy’s Fight For Me series. You do not need to read any of the others books to read this one. It’s actually a great book to wet your whistle if you are looking for a sneak peak at what you to expect from Amy and this series.

Broderick and Lilith have been battling each other over email for months. He’s trying to buy out the building that has been home to Lilith since she was a teenager. She’s determined to stop him from destroying the memories and building of the one woman who always stood by Lilith.

However, when Brody and Lily meet face to face, things get even more heated between the two. It’s the initial meeting that really throws things off-kilter and has them both thinking differently; Lilith isn’t sure what to expect from Brody and Brody becomes even more determined to not only get the building, but the girl too.

Hunt Me Down definitely takes on the theme of Little Red Riding Hood and Amy does a great job playing into that. It’s the perfect pairing that adds some hotness to this story. Brody and Lily were fun to read about it and I enjoyed their game of chase.

Definitely pick this one up!

On The Line by Jen McLaughlin…Release Day Event and Review

by Jilly

There is a NEW Out of Line book by Jen McLaughlin out today–that’s right!

A NEW OUT OF LINE BOOK.

These characters are characters we met in I’ll be Home for Christmas, the Carrie and Finn novella that came out last week–but don’t worry!

Even if you have never read an OUT OF LINE book, you can pick up On the Line and read it without feeling lost. So what are you waiting for? Snatch up a copy TODAY!

On the Line: an Out of Line novel

Coming home…
I’ve hated Ben Rollins ever since he broke my heart in high school. I’ve never fully recovered from it…even though I ran away as far as I could. Now I’ve returned home, fleeing something worse than I could have ever imagined. When our Captain partners us up together, I’m forced to realize that what I feel for him isn’t hate at all. It’s far worse.

Second chances…
Sarah’s the one who got away. She never really explained her abrupt departure from my life, but to be honest, I no longer give a damn. What we’d once had was dead, and now I’m stuck with her at my side permanently, no matter how I feel about it. But when the truth comes out, and old secrets are unburied, being thrown together becomes so much more than a second chance…it becomes life or death.

And we have no intention of losing.

My Review in Short:

What can I say? I’m a sucker for a new Jen McLaughlin Out of Line story and I will continue to read this series as long as Ms. McLaughlin writes them!

Ben and Sarah were sort of a mash up of an enemies to lovers/second chance romance story. If you look at their current situation and how their past has lead them to where there are now, you’ll totally understand why it’s a mix of those two tropes…two tropes I adore, by the way. A lost young love and broken hearts have turned them from high school sweethearts into frenemies, at best. Luckily fate has sort of stepped in and they are now forced to deal with the pain from the past. One of my fave things about Ms. McLaughlin’s writing is how she manages to pull those deep feelings from her characters and get them right back to where they should be and in this case, it was back to the loving and not the fighting.

Oh, and I have to say how much I adore seeing more of the characters we have come to know and love through this series! Getting a peek at them in each book is such a treat.

Jam packed with emotion, this was another great addition to the series! Once again I have to say, if you haven’t picked up this series yet, you really must. Thank you, Ms. McLaughlin, for another great read.

Four Loves

To celebrate, Jen is having a $10 Amazon or Barnes and Noble gift card giveaway! Who couldn’t use some extra cash around the holidays, right? Enter below, and good luck! Don’t forget to buy I’ll be Home for Christmas today!

SYNOPSIS

You’ve heard this story before. Woman feels her biological clock ticking and gets someone to knock her up.

Not for love, for baby.

Crazy, right?

That’s what I thought.

Then I found out my fiancé had a vasectomy. The life I thought I had? Nope. Suddenly I’m 33, and I don’t even have a kissing buddy.

When my mom’s health takes a turn and I wind up back in my hometown of Fate, Alabama, I tell myself to leave things up to…well, you know.

Then I see Gabriel McKellan. He’s Fate’s most famous son, a bestselling author who is beautiful, complicated, and living just below me. In addition to his plus-sized brain, Gabe’s well-endowed in other ways, and great in bed to boot. I would know. He’s my ex husband.

When I suggest The Plan, I don’t imagine that he’ll take the bait. It’s been ten years, and we don’t work. But Fate has other plans for both of us.

EXCERPT

I veer into the bushes, heading across the lawn toward the home’s rear right, where there’s supposed to be a staircase tacked onto the house’s back side.

 “Not your walkway,” he says coolly.

 “Figured that out,” I snap over my shoulder.

 Hurt stings my cheeks and neck, prickles tears in my eyes. I whirl. “You are such an asshole! Always were. The biggest jerk in our class!”

 “What was it, then, Marley?” He takes a long stride down the walkway toward me. “Oh, wait, I remember.” He looks pointedly down, and then back up at me with those electric eyes—and I know what he’s meaning.

 “Jesus—you’re a pig!”

 He smirks. “Only for you.”

 “Fuck off.”

 With those ungraceful words, I march toward the house I’m sharing with my ex-husband.

I was just his best friend’s little sister.

But he was always more than that to me.

After twelve years of pining over Patrick’s easy smile, baby blues, and captivating charm, I decide to take matters into my own hands—and completely blow my chance.

Who knew a self-proclaimed manwhore would decide to be a gentleman the first time I’m naked in his bed? Definitely, not me. But when I land there again, neither of us has any intention of stopping.

There’s only one problem: nobody can know. Especially not my three older brothers. If they found out, all hell would break loose.

So I’m willing to keep our secret. Because I want him Wright here, right now.
