ARC REVIEW of Finding Home by Ella Goode

Finding HomeFinding Home by Ella Goode
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have been dying for Finding Home by Ella Goode since I finished Bring Him Home. Just that small amount of Charlotte in BHH was enough to have me clamoring for her story asap and here it finally is and wow, it is amazing. Colton is that OTT alpha who is gonna bring her happiness, passion, pleasure and love because she is "IT" for him but first he has to convince her of that first. Their love story is full of feels, action, drama , passion and romance. Loved the emotions, feels and insta-love that wove it's way thru the story. Another great read by Ms. Goode!!


My Rating: 4.5 stars *******

Release Blitz- More Than Tempt You by Shayla Black

I romanced her for revenge…but what if she’s not the enemy after all? I’m Clint Holmes. I was an ambitious guy with a busy life and a growing business. Sure North Dakota wasn’t a tropical paradise, but I was happy enough—until tragedy struck. Now the only thing that matters is finding the person responsible and making her pay. But Bethany Banks is a Harvard-educated shark used to swallowing her enemies whole while playing dangerous corporate games. How can a blue-collar oil man like me possibly beat her? The moment I lay eyes on my beautiful nemesis, the answer is obvious. I seduce her. On Maui, where she’s fled, I get to know the man-eater who caused my family so much pain…only to find she’s not the brazen ballbuster I assumed. She’s skittish, secretive, vulnerable. For some reason, my instinct is to protect her. I can’t abandon my plan…but I can’t stop wanting her. Night after night, I pry her open with my touch until I’m drowning in our passion. Soon, I’m questioning everything, especially the fine line between love and hate. But when the past comes back to wreak vengeance and the truth explodes, can I prove that I’m more than tempted to love her forever?

INTERNATIONAL PLAYER by Louise Bay Release Date: April 30th Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
 
AVAILABLE NOW!! Amazon: Apple Books: https://apple.co/2QdJdwn Paperback: https://amzn.to/2PmIK5M
 
 
Blurb: Being labelled a player never stopped me from being successful with women. Until I met Truly Harbury.
Truly was the first girl who ever turned me down.
The first female friend I ever had.
And she might just be the first woman I ever fall in love with.
When an emergency means she needs my help running her family’s charity, I’m happy to introduce her to the glitz and glamour of the London business world—taking her to dinners, coaching her through speeches, zipping up the sexy evening gown I helped her pick out.
The more time we spend together, the more I want to convince her I’m not a man to avoid, that we’re not as unsuited as she believes.
She sees herself as the book-reading, science-loving introvert while I’m the dangerous, outgoing, charmer.
She thinks I love parties and people whereas she prefers pajamas and a takeaway.
What she doesn’t realize is that I like everything about her–the way her smile lights up a room, how her curves light up my imagination, and especially the way her lips taste when coated with tequila.
She’s the first woman I ever fell in love with. I just need to know if she could ever love me too.
*International Player is a complete standalone contemporary romance
 
Excerpt: In, two, three, out, two. Shit. I tried again. In, two, three, out, two, three. It wasn’t helping. My heart was hammering against my chest, my palms were sweaty, and images of hundreds and hundreds of faces staring at me flashed into my head.
I ignored the knock on my office door. I was too concerned about what was happening to me. Was it possible to have a heart attack at twenty-eight?
“Truly,” a familiar, male voice called.
I couldn’t look up. Couldn’t even open my eyes.
Warm hands covered my knees and body heat radiated in front of me.
“Are you okay? Take a breath.” What was Noah doing here?
I nodded, still counting my breath. As if he was familiar with the technique, he began counting along with me. “Out, two, three. In, two, three. Out, two, three.”
His voice was calming. The counting hadn’t worked when I’d done it alone, but hearing him counting too helped me settle into a rhythm.
Eventually, his hands slid from my knees, and I sat up and opened my eyes, right into his.
“Are you okay?” he asked, his brow
furrowed.
I was such an idiot. A mess. And this was why Noah and I had only ever been friends. He was used to seeing me in no makeup with a smear of kung pao chicken on my face. And now I was panicking about a meeting that he would think nothing of. Yes, Noah only ever saw me at my absolute worst.
“What are you doing here?” I asked. I didn’t want him to see me like this.
“Do you want some water?” He stood and poured me a glass of sparkling water from the bottle on my desk.
“Thanks.” I took a sip and sat back in my chair.
“I came to talk to you. Apologize if I seemed harsh last night. I’m sorry if I made this worse, Truly.”
I cleared my throat. “I’m fine. Just a little . . .” I watched as he slid into the chair opposite my desk, his long legs unfurling in front of him. “I just have a lot to do.”
He nodded, steepling his fingers. “And I’m here to help.”

ARC REVIEW of Beautiful March by Christy Pastore

Beautiful MarchBeautiful March by Christy Pastore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beautiful March by Christy Pastore is an emotional powerhouse that is set in the south and has that southern charm, along with the feels and heat that Ms Pastore is known for. This is Haven and Tyler's story.
We are introduced to Haven just as her world is flipped upside down. Right about the same time, fate introduces us to Tyler. Haven has come to town for one reason and ends up meeting Tyler and finds out Tyler is tied to her reason for being in town. There are sparks between them. Huge chemistry and connection. I could tell right off the bat that they were destined for great things- IF- they would be opened to each other. There are twists and turns in the story that made me sit on the edge of my seat. I enjoyed the characters, the plot and the sweet moments which brought the feels home. I can't wait for the next book by Ms. Pastore. I loved the emotions and the steamy moments. This is the kind of book that you want to read to kick back and unwind with.

Release Blitz- Pretty Reckless by L.J Shen

PR - RB banner.jpg

Pretty Reckless, an all-new standalone high school, bully romance from USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen, is available now!

LJSPrettyRecklessBookCover6x9_MEDIUM.jpg
We were supposed to be best friends
But turned out to be worst enemies…
Penn
They say revenge is a dish best served cold.
I’d had four years to stew on what Daria Followhill did to me, and now my heart is completely iced.
I took her first kiss.
She took the only thing I loved.
I was poor.
She was rich.
The good thing about circumstances? They can change. Fast.
Now, I’m her parents’ latest shiny project.
Her housemate. Her tormentor. The captain of the rival football team she hates so much.
Yeah, baby girl, say it—I’m your foster brother.
There’s a price to pay for ruining the only good thing in my life, and she’s about to shell out some serious tears.
Daria Followhill thinks she is THE queen. I’m about to prove to her that she’s nothing but a spoiled princess.
Daria
Everyone loves a good-old, unapologetic punk.
But being a bitch? Oh, you get slammed for every snarky comment, cynical eye roll, and foot you put in your adversaries’ way.
The thing about stiletto heels is that they make a hell of a dent when you walk all over the people who try to hurt you.
In Penn Scully’s case, I pierced his heart until he bled out, then left it in a trash can on a bright summer day.
Four years ago, he asked me to save all of my firsts for him.
Now he lives across the hall, and there’s nothing I want more than to be his last everything.
His parting words when he gave me his heart were that nothing in this world is free.
Now? Now he is making me pay.

Release Blitz- Rockstar by Lauren Rowe

 

ROCKSTAR, an all-new standalone emotional romance by Lauren Rowe is NOW LIVE!

  It was lyrics at first sight when I saw Violet Rhodes across that crowded party. She was lights and darks, swirled together. Music in motion. And all of it while looking like a hitwoman at an Elvis convention. I had nothing to offer the intriguing girl but a one-night stand. I figured I’d revel in my last night of anonymity before my first tour and shoot her a quick “We’ll always have L.A.!” goodbye the next morning. But nothing went according to plan. In one night, Violet crawled under my skin and into my bloodstream. She tattooed her name across my chest and between my legs. She became my muse. And then she was gone. Now, months later, here she is again. And in a twist I never saw coming, it turns out Violet is ultra-violet radiation. Beautiful, ethereal light bringing with her the promise of damage and destruction. My brain tells me to walk away from this girl, but my heart can’t stop feeling like she might be one of a kind . . . the sort of girl who comes along once in a violet moon. ROCKSTAR is a standalone romance, the love story of Dax Morgan and the electrifying woman who rocked his world during his journey to worldwide rock superstardom.

      My Review: Rockstar by Lauren Rowe gives readers the long awaited Morgans' brothers story of Dax Morgan- the "Rockstar". Dax Morgan and Violet Rhodes's story a rollercoaster ride of emotions that had me going through highs and lows right along with the main characters. From the moment Dax and Violet came together in their first meeting, sparks leap off the pages in bright lights and beautiful chemistry. Without giving anything away, i will say that Ms. Rowe wrote the perfect heroine for Dax with Violet. She's sassy, intelligent, sweet and funny. She pairs beautifully with the intriguing introvert/extrovert that Dax is- he is this handsome ,mysterious and sexy man who is a world famous rockstar. Their love story is epic, the feels are amazing and the story is full of drama, angst, twists and amazing romance. Ms. Rowe outdid herself with Dax's story and Rockstar is quite the emotional, addictive read!!! My Rating: 4.8 stars *******

Release Blitz- Boss I Love to Hate by Mia Kayla

Title: Boss, I Love To Hate
Author: Mia Kayla
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: April 25, 2019

Dear Mr. Brisken,
How do I hate you?
Let me count the ways.
I hate your smug, sexy millionaire face.
 I hate your cocky, skirt chasing, playboy ways.
 I hate working as your secretary—but, I love the pay. It almost makes dealing with you worth it.
I hate how my friends call you a BILF, when really BILK (Boss I’d like to kill) is more appropriate.
I hate that I need you to be my date for my best friend’s wedding because my ex-boyfriend, the King of Heartbreakers, and his new busty blonde girlfriend will be in attendance.
But mostly, I hate how once the charade is over, I might not hate you at all...it was so much easier when you were the Boss I Love To Hate
"One of the best office/enemies to lover books I’ve read. Brad and Sonia were so cute! I loved their banter, I loved the way they were with their families. I loved everything about this book. Addictive, funny and so amazing!" - Early Reviewer

"Perfectly written, unique, wonderfulness. I will be rereading this over and over again. One of my top ten books ever! Mia Kayla knocked this one out of the park, she left me with more feelings than I knew what to do with. The ultimate book hangover ( I mean hangover like I couldn't get over it or stop thinking about it), nothing could compare. I had a really hard time reading anything else after this book because it was just that good!" - Early Reviewer
Mia Kayla is a New Adult/Contemporary Romance writer who lives in Illinois. She is the wife to the husband of the year and mommy to three unbelievable cute little girls who have multiplied her grey hairs. 


In her free time she loves reading romance novels, jamming to boy bands, catching up on celebrity gossip and designing flowers for weddings.
Most of the time, she can be caught on the train with her nose in a book sporting a cheeky grin because the main characters finally get their happily-ever-after at the end. 
She loves reading about happy endings but has more fun writing them.
