Review ~ Six Month Rule ~ by ~ A.J. Pine

I loved the premise of this story! Holly is a determined career woman who has worked HARD to get to where she is at and hopefully a partner position. So she doesn’t get distracted, she has a rule; a 6-month rule. She will only have a physical relationship (nothing more) for 6-months. And then their time together is over. Until she meets Will…

Will is conveniently working for Holly’s employer for 6-months on a client’s project. Holly and Will will end up working closely. Will is here for 6-months and then will go back to England, where he has other responsibilities but he and Holly still can’t deny the strong pull towards each other.

A great story with an HEA. Light aka not angsty and just a feel good read.

4 stars!

How does something so right suddenly go so wrong? Maybe because fate is an evil bitch.Seth Harris was Onigashima Fighters resident womanizer, party animal and good time guy. He was just as quick with a joke as he was with his fists in the cage. Fast and loose—that’s the way he liked to play it in all aspects of his life. Was that the real Seth or a carefully crafted façade?

Sophia Sommers knew her looks were what everyone noticed first—until she threw a kick punch combination. Few realised, her real gifts were determination, courage and adaptability. Her course was clear and charted…until she let Seth Harris under her guard.

One night— two actions. That’s all it takes to set off a chain reaction that changes the course of their lives.

What happens when fate intervenes and leaves them both reeling, with nothing more than hazy memories of how they landed in their new and terrifying reality?

Will these two very different people accept the challenge fate has dealt them? Or will their inner demons convince them to walk away from a fight harder than they’ve ever faced before?

They must first accept—The hardest demons to defeat are the ones inside. They’ll have to rise to the challenge.

This book was just an awesome read! For some reason, I was initially thinking it was an MC. I don’t know why, it says “Fighter” in the series name and there is an MMA fighter on the cover but I was still thinking MC. Don’t question what my brain does, just roll with it.

Seth is a powerhouse, in the ring and out. He’s a fun-loving guy who just wants to have a good time. While training at his friend’s gym. And if that includes some fun with Sophie, so be it.

Seth and Sophie have one complicated relationship – well not a relationship. They have to overcome so much in their quests to remember what happened that one fateful night.

This was my first book in this series but I will be going back to read the others! I love how they all interact and give each other crap.

Release Day Blitz & Review ~ Trucker ~ by ~ Jamie Schlosser

TRUCKER by Jamie Schlosser

A Standalone Novel

Genre: New Adult Romance

Series: The Good Guys Book 1
— SYNOPSIS —
ANGEL
I know what you’re whispering in the car as you pass me by.
Hitchhiker.

When you see me walking along the side of the road with my thumb out, you’ll probably keep driving without giving me a second glance. You probably think I’m foolish. Naïve.

You might assume I’ve made some bad decisions.

You might think I’m too young to be on my own.

You might be right.

TRAVIS

I love my job, but driving an eighteen-wheeler comes with a certain stereotype. When you hear I’m a trucker, a specific image might come to mind. Uneducated. Dirty. Perverted. Rough around the edges and a little bit dangerous.

You might be right.

But the truth is, I’m not any of those things. In fact, I’m pretty far from it.

You might be right.

You’d be surprised to find out I’m one of the good guys.

You might be right.

— EXCERPT —

I’d only been driving for about a mile when I saw someone walking along the side of the road in the distance.

As I got closer I saw the backpack and blonde hair. She turned toward my semi before sticking her thumb out.

“Shit,” I whispered, recognizing her right away. Even from a distance, I could see the hopeful expression on her face, and I felt something twist in my chest.

What the hell did she think she was doing? Hitchhiking was dangerous.

For a split second, I thought about not stopping. I could just keep on driving and forget I ever saw her.

But just as fast, all the possible scenarios played out in my mind. All the things that could happen to her. All the sick, depraved people who could be the ones to pull over and lure her into their vehicle with the promise of a safe ride.

I’d never picked up a hitchhiker before.
Had never planned on it.
But there was no way I could leave this girl out there on her own.

TBRreview

Trucker is not like you would imagine. I personally think of truckers how they’re described in the book; large, smelly, pervy men. Travis is not like that at all. He’s a good guy. Tall, muscular and attractive.

Angel is a runaway. She has packed up and left a foster home with the intent to be on the run until she turns 18 and is no longer a ward of the state. She is running low on funds so she tries hitchhiking. VERY luckily for her, nice guy Travis is the one to stop for her.

Travis can’t just leave this innocent, pretty girl hitchhiking on the side of the road for who knows what to happen to her. So he steps up and decides to help her out. And is soon wrapped up in Angel just as Angel is with Travis.

4 stars!

Release Day Blitz & Review ~ Chaos ~ by ~ Alexis Noelle

Chaos (Deathstalkers MC Novel)

Author: Alexis Noelle

Genre: MC Romance

Release Date: July 18, 2016
Cover Design: Cover Me Darling

CHAOS

That’s my life. No other way to describe it.

As the Sargent-at-Arms for the Deathstalkers MC, my days are filled with

Constant craziness and crap.

But I like it.

It’s who I am. And what I’m all about.

Finally, after years of Hell, everything feels like it’s right where it’s supposed to be.

Except with her

She’s far from where she’s supposed to be.

Tracie is so damned determined to be with someone who isn’t “one of us.”

Delusional.

That’s what she is.

Downright insane at times.

Those idiots can’t handle her.

Will never be able to handle her.

And I’m about to show her why.

And she’ll finally understand.

Because this life ain’t for everyone,

Especially when danger lurks in the shadows of all the

Chaos.

“Alexis Noelle is one of my favorite writers and everything she writes I just love.” – Swoon Worthy Books

“I loved it and I can’t wait to see who gets a story next because please Alexis, don’t let this be the series end. A well-deserved 5 stars for Chaos from me.” – MJ’s Book Blog and Reviews

“Just what I needed, a really good M/C book. I absolutely loved this book.” – Reader Review

Chaos was a great MC read! There’s sadness, love, levity and just a good read. It’s different than most MC books where there are the club chicks that the men sleep with. This book didn’t have that. Torch knows what he wants, or rather who, and has made no secret of it. He’s just been waiting for Tracie to recognize and accept that he is the man for her.

Tracie has tried to stay away from getting involved with any member of the MC because of a promise she had made to her mother. What she doesn’t plan on is how insistent Torch is about her being his old lady. He’s waited years and he’s tired of waiting now.

A great MC with fun characters, great relationships and more focus on the story than the club being an MC.

5 stars!

Guilt eats away at your soul. Pride makes you foolish. I
want to be more for her.

Scared to try and petrified of failure.

She came into my life showing more fight and courage than
anyone I had ever meet.

Through my wrong doings, she was saved!

As time goes by, she brands herself on my heart.

I have to walk away, I have to say goodbye.

But having her once will never be enough.

Redemption comes at a price and I’m just scared that’s it’s
going to be Emma!

❤ ❤

I am a mum to six wonderful children, and married to an
amazing man who supports my dream to write.

I wouldn’t say that I wanted to be a writer from when I was little.

I only really started reading often when I had baby number five, as he was born
very early and spent thirteen weeks in special care. It was then that I
discovered my love for reading.

From then on, I was hooked. I read all types of romance books.

It dawned on me that I wanted to be more than a mum/reader/blogger. I wanted to
write, as I have a very active imagination, so I put pen to paper.

I wrote my first book, Obsession, this year and I am super excited to say that
it will be published on the 29/09/2015.

Coincidentally, this is my thirtieth birthday (at least I won’t forget the day
my first book went live).

I write romance – contemporary, dark and erotic.

I like to write about loss, pain and love, and

what it’s like to fight for your happy ever after.

❤❤❤ ❤

Cover Reveal ~ Taylor Made ~ by ~ KJ Lewis

***

Author: KJ Lewis

Title: Taylor Made

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Cover Artist: Regina Wamba

Release: August 24th

***

Emme James’ southern roots and ease at reading people make her known in elite circles as one of the best image and brand consultants in the business. Her gut-instinct and ability to balance six male roommates, a New York Madame, a rock star and her job do nothing to prepare her for the chaos that ensues when a chance meeting places her on a path that threatens the resolve of control Emme masters.

Having never mislead a woman of his intentions, Graham Taylor makes no apologies for his ‘fuck ‘em and leave ‘em attitude’. He gets no hassle sex and they get money and notoriety. The only stipulation, control. His. An unexpected mishap places him next to an unassuming southern girl whose honesty and kindness kindles a need to show her what it would be like to give control to him even for a short amount of time. His underestimation of her tenacity soon blurs the line of who is really in control.

***

Kj is Memphis raised with a New York soul. Taylor Made is Kj’s first adult contemporary romance duet.

Kaithlin Shepherd is the author of the Callaway series, the Brass series and the Saints and Sinners series.

Born and raised in Canada by a working single mom and a loving grandmother, Kaithlin surrounded herself with novels by Danielle Steele and Nora Roberts provided by her grandmother. Kaithlin quickly fell in love with reading. It was in high school, thanks to an English teacher, that Kaithlin wrote her first story (although if you ask for it, she will deny ever writing it) about a popular boy band. Inspired by constructive criticism, Kaithlin spent some time developing her love affair with words through more reading than someone would think possible.

After pursuing a higher education, Kaithlin, sat down with a pen and paper and decided to give writing a shot. With no false hope in mind, her first novel, Make Me Whole, slowly came to life. Putting fear and doubt aside, Kaithlin has published five books to date, and has eleven more set to be published in the next two years.
