Don’t Go Stealing My Heart by Kelly Siskind

A Standalone Romantic Comedy

Add it to Goodreads

Book Blurb:

She wants to steal his Van Gogh. He wants to steal her heart.

Some people would call Clementine Abernathy a criminal. She considers herself a modern day Robin Hood, who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. Not exactly on the up-and-up, but she knows what it’s like to lose everything. Her latest heist involves swiping a priceless Van Gogh from its owner, who’s supposed to be an egotistical trust-fund brat.

Turns out Jack David is a sexy, kind-hearted man…and Clementine is in trouble. Falling for her mark would make her the World’s Dumbest Conwoman, but Jack is charmingly persistent, always singing sweet songs in her ear.

And that earth-shattering kiss? She never stood a chance.

Now she’s imagining a fresh start with this dashing man, but that means telling Jack about her past. And other nefarious sorts are after the same painting. Too soon, Clementine learns what it means to risk it all for love.

TBRreview

Holy slow burn with a flash fire! Whoo!! This took a bit to build up and grab my interest but just like when Jack got his confidence, he was irresistible!

Clementine is truly a Robin Hood. And I absolutely loved her and wanted to give her a hug. She’s very nice and has an honorable mission – if somewhat misguided.

Jack and Clementine are just 2 perfect puzzle pieces that fit together. From their pets, to their histories to their personalities. They both mesh together so well and I’m so glad I was able to read this story.

Just far warning, when Jack gets his mojo, get a fan handy! Just reading his dialogue can definitely cause a fire…

5 stars!

Spotlight Tour ~ Don’t Dare Love ~ by ~ Sonya Jesus

Title: Don’t Dare Love
Series: Knight Series #1
Author: Sonya Jesus
Genre: Psychological/Romance Thriller
Release Date: September 21, 2017

The closer she gets to love, the more he unravels.

 

 

 

For commitment-phobe Lia, love means trusting someone enough to let them in. She’s not harboring some deep dark secret or a tortured soul; she’s simply scared to give her heart away. When Connor sparks her interest, she reluctantly gives the freshman a chance, unknowingly catalyzing a change in her love life. Suddenly, guys vie for her attention, and her heart is torn between the new, the old, and the familiar. While she’s busy with new experiences and conflicting feelings, Hawk is unraveling.
Lia doesn’t know how deep Hawk’s obsession goes. He’s always there, listening in, tracking her every move, and studying her. If not for his intervention, the guys from Lia’s past would have damaged her innocence and broken her heart. They possessed the ability to change his perfect girl into someone unrecognizable and unsuitable. In all his careful planning, Hawk’s become too comfortable and underestimates Connor’s ability to sneak his way into Lia’s heart.
Cameras and footage are no longer enough. Hawk infiltrates her inner circle and manipulates the people around her, using them to carry out his plan. The sudden onslaught of male attention slows him down, or rather, escalates his obsession into something a bit deadlier. If Lia dares to love someone other than Hawk, then he may not survive her love.
With a whodunit vibe, this psychological thriller balances innocent, coming of age romance with the darkness of obsession.

 

 

Sonya’s a nerd—a cool nerd—who loves science, books, make-up and unicorns. She even has unicorn slippers and unicorn plushes adorn her office. It’s not an obsession (or so she says), it’s simply an ode to her imaginative side. Storytelling has been her passion since her youth, but her family believes it’s more than that.
 
Though she’s fun-loving, complex-minded, and heart-driven, her philosophy on life is quite simple: Shit happens. Keep going. 
 
When asked to elaborate, she said, “Believing in yourself is probably one of the hardest things to do, but look in the mirror. You’re still standing. That’s strength. Don’t underestimate yourself.”
 
Sonya also believes in fairytales and in the beautiful things a mind can conjure. She’s a firm believer in empowering the crazy fictional ideas, putting them down on paper, and letting them flourish into a story. 
 
“There’s so much potential in a dream… a thought… not exploring it seems like such a waste of something absolutely beautiful.”

Cover Reveal ~ The Man Next Door ~ by ~ Roya Carmen

Title: The Man Next Door
Author: Roya Carmen
Genre: Romance Suspense
Release Date: May 21, 2020
Cover Design: Calico Images

 

 

I was just a girl, a young neglected girl with issues. I was a mess. A mess he wanted nothing to do with. He knew better. But I certainly didn’t. All I knew was that I liked what I saw.
I grew up in small town Michigan, raised by a single alcoholic father and two older brothers who never gave me the time of day. All I had were my best friends, Izzie and Gavin, a reclusive broken man, ten years my senior. My father forbade me to see him, but I didn’t listen. I was crazy about him and he adored me. Even when our small community was rocked by a heinous crime and Gavin was the main suspect, I still loved him.
When tragedy struck, I finally escaped. As far away as I could.
I’ve been in Chicago ever since, trying to forget all about my past. Yet, I find myself still thinking about my past, about Gavin and Izzie, about my other life. I’m not truly living anymore, just going through the motions. Until…
Noah Reed. My new neighbor. Beautiful, sweet and intoxicating. There’s something about him I just can’t put my finger on. He’s the first man since Gavin I truly let myself fall for. I think he might be the one. Until…
… the day I discover his secret.

Book Tour ~ Gin’s Tonic ~ by ~ Olivia Owen

Title: Gin’s Tonic
Author: Olivia Owen
Genre: Contemporary Multicultural Romance
Release Date: April 16, 2020

“With a feminist nature and a diverse set of characters, this book is a wonderful piece of fiction. The protagonists are imperfect but it’s easy to fall in love with them because they are perfectly written. They are deep and their motivations are clear. The plot is unique, complex, and surprisingly touching. Gin’s Tonic will teach you that love can exist in many forms, but it should start with yourself. Gin’s Tonic by Olivia Owen is a combination of heart-warming drama and sultry romance. Highly recommended to all those readers looking for a second chance in life and in love.” – 5 STARS Risah Salazar for Readers’ Favorite

 

 

 

“Gin’s Tonic is perfect for readers who crave high heat romances, following a journey from broken to better, found families, and strong heroines who help themselves and find love along the way.” – Sarah Storin, award winning author of contemporary romance.

 
What mends first? A shattered heart or a broken mind? 
 
What began as a series of misunderstandings catapults into urgent need, as Gin finds herself forced to make an impossible choice, staying faithful to memories of the past or living for the future. 
 
I’m not who I used to be.
 
Losing them turned me into someone I don’t even recognize. I’m not even sure I want to know that person.
 
So I ran. 
 
But that was just a change in longitude and latitude.
 
When I met Roman, my insides were a twisted, decayed, knife-edged thing I was sure no one would ever want.
 
But he took every crushed bit of it and demanded more.
 
He’s as scarred on the outside as I am on the inside, but somehow, we fit together like two jagged pieces of the same fractured puzzle. Our tortured pasts brought us together—then ripped us apart.
 
Falling for him was inevitable. So was losing him.
 
Girl meets boy, girl loses boy, but maybe…girl gets nothing at the end.
 
Happily ever after just isn’t meant for people like me…right?
 
Gin’s Tonic is a steamy, angsty, mature, small town romance featuring a Chinese-American heroine who is stronger than she knows. This is the story of a perfectly imperfect woman and the tall-dark-and-brooding hero who proves to her that love after loss is possible. 
Olivia Owen is new to the world of writing romance novels (long time reader, first time writer). Every once in a while, she finds it is necessary to push out of her safe little box and do something that kind of scares her. This is definitely one of those things. She has a soft spot for bulky, brooding male leads and the awkward, relatable women those guys just can’t help but love. In her free time, she can be found cooking with just a bit too much butter, contemplating having Lasik surgery to increase her chances of survival during a zombie apocalypse, and (much like her novel’s heroine) having coffee in her garden while conjuring up happily ever afters.
