Publisher: HEA Press

Friction a SEXY All-New Standalone from Emily Snow is now LIVE!

Former overachiever Lucy WillIams sucks at adulting.

Recent divorce, check.

Pending lawsuit, check.

A move back to Boston to live with her mother, triple check.

It can’t get much worse, right?

When she starts her new marketing job at EXtreme Effects, she’s positive shit’s stopped hitting the fan. Sure, what she’s advertising is a little … unorthodox, but it pays the bills. And since she’s seconds away from becoming Lucy Williams: Wednesday Night Bingo Enthusiast, she needs money to get the hell out of her mother’s house.

The only problem is her boss, Mr. Extreme himself: Jace Exley. He’s everything any sane woman dreams of—alpha, successful, ridiculously gorgeous. He’s also Lucy’s worst nightmare. Because like every overachiever, she has that underachiever she brushed off. The slacker who, once upon a time ago, was the object of her dirtiest schoolgirl fantasies.

Jace Exley—with his sarcastic smirk and delicious accent—just happens to be that guy.

And the friction between them?

Well, that’s the only adulting Lucy seems to be winning at.

Holy wow this book! Thank goodness my boss was gone for the afternoon because I couldn’t stop reading! Jace and Lucy are just constant tension. And who doesn’t like a truckload of sexual tension??

Poor Lucy has to move home after getting a divorce, leaving her job and moves in with her mom. She’s applying for jobs when she comes across her old high school bane of her existence Jace. Jace is looking for someone to do his company’s marketing and how surprised he is when it’s his old high school “friend” that he loved to torment and tease and ruffle her feathers.

I hope there will be more to this series, I love the characters and I feel like Jamie needs to explain some of her behaviors from this story….

5 stars!

THE PERFECT NEIGHBORS. THE PERFECT COVER.A Gripping Romantic Suspense Thriller

He’s a contract killer. She likes to even the score. Smack dab in the middle of suburbia, few married couples are as competitive as Jude and Kate.

But then, most married couples don’t keep score in the form of body counts. Each hell-bent on a silent pact to out-do the other, the games begin.

Who ends up on top is anyone’s guess. But with these two, one thing’s for sure— not everyone comes out alive.

After all, there are a few things they can agree on: All is fair in love and war. And if they can’t make it work— they’re dead in the water.

“Cheers,” I offer, but it sounds like ‘fuck you,’ which it is, and I hate that we haven’t touched glasses. It’s bad luck, and certainly we don’t need any of that. You don’t seem concerned with luck though, because in two short strides you are standing in front of me, and your eyes are dark. You swallow hard, and this intensity, it kills me. You don’t say anything, and I hate the silence between us. Maybe you’re trying to send a message. Maybe you’re into telepathy; I’m not sure. But I’m not afraid of this side of you, Jude. It’s always been the best part. And so when you push me against the wall, I go willingly. At least at first. Because I know you, and you’ve always enjoyed a bit of a fight.
 TBRreview
You MUST read Water Under the Bridge (WUTB) first!!  
Amazing continuation to WUTB! The story picks up right where WUTB left off and you get to read more of the dark, twisted world of Jude and Kate. Yes, Jude and Kate are assassins and kill people but there is so much more to them than just being a hired gun.  
This story reminds me a little of Mr & Mrs Smith with Jude and Kate being assassins hiding in plain sight in Suburbia, USA.
Very well written story that I can’t wait to re-read and continue on in part 3!
5 stars!

Blog Tour & Review ~ Exes ~ by ~ Aria Hawthorne

Title: EXES – A Second Chance Billionaire Romance Novel
Author: Aria Hawthorne
Genre: Contemporary Romance Standalone
Release Date: January 3, 2017
Publisher: French Kiss Press, LLC

When Chicago real estate tycoon Harvey Zale pings a “friend of a friend” with a flirtatious text, he never expects to start an addictive sexting affair with a complete stranger. He’s a billionaire who can get any woman he wants, but he can’t have her—his mysterious, sultry Contessa, who inspires his nightly confessions and soothes more than just his conscience from the consequences of his own shallow ambitions.

He’s determined to build the tallest towers in the world and he needs to sell his Chicago riverfront property to finance it. But when Alma Castillo, the Lara Croft of antique hunters, shows up on his land, claiming the existence of a priceless Tiffany stained glass window and doing everything in her power to muck up his deal, he knows he’s got more than a stray cat to collar and tame. She’s not only on a mission to save long-lost antiques; she’s also on a personal crusade to hate his guts.

He would know. She served him divorce papers a year ago, just to prove it.

And he’d care a helluva lot more if his ex-wife’s sassy tongue and wicked intelligence didn’t turn him on every time she called him “a**hole” and if she didn’t look so damn cute in those baggy overalls, disguising her affinity for being naughty as much as being nice.

Perhaps even as naughty as his Contessa, who unlike Alma, doesn’t know anything about his real identity or flawed, billionaire reputation, which flames his desires to escalate their fantasy relationship into the reality of one scorching night of mindblowing…

If he could only get his mind off his ex-wife—the only woman he’s ever truly loved. God, woman…if she would just let him pleasure her scornful frown and turn it oh, oh, oooohhhh so upside down, maybe he could convince her to marry him again.

But no one ever said it was easy being a greedy opportunistic billionaire bastard, especially one who happens to know there’s nothing better than makeup sex with an ex…

Please note that all of Ms. Hawthorne’s billionaire romances are stand-alone novels set in Chicago with minor subplots and secondary characters that intersect, but each book can be read and enjoyed in any order.

Contemporary Billionaire Romance – Full-length, stand-alone novel with HEA – Suitable for mature readers; 18+ years.

“5+ Stars… Can’t say enough great things about this book! This is a must read for anyone who loves a good romance!” – Books and Boys Book Blog

“I really cannot wait to read more by this awesome author, so just going to end with HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDING Exes to ALL!” – The Power of Three Readers

“This book took me on a roller coaster ride and I enjoyed every second of it. This is a great story of how sometimes love is not lost and finding your way back to what makes you whole is so worth it.” – Nerdy, Dirty and Flirty

pink_review
This was a great second chance story. Harvey is an arrogant billionaire businessman who is a workaholic. So much so, that its cost him a marriage. Alma is an antiques dealer specializing in Tiffany glass. Harvey wants to sell his Chicago properties but he runs into an issue when Alma fights him over the glass and trying to stop the deal. Oh, one other hitch? Alma is Harvey’s ex-wife that he’s still in lust with.

Meanwhile, Harvey has started sexting a stranger who he can really talk to and likes talking to. And his “stranger” might just not be as strange as he thinks; it’s Alma. But neither knows about the other because Alma’s sister has set them up.

A good read and a great, funny story!

Genre: Romance

Blurb

Can something that burns so rapidly calm the whispering chaos of your cries? Or is this all just an illusion. The perfect hypnosis. Like the humming of a sweet melody to your frantic brain. 

Drip. 
Blood trickled over the curve of Millie’s collarbone.
Drip. 
Slithering over her shoulder. 
Drip. 
Sliding off and into the mass puddle of death surrounding her. 

The last petal has fallen, a queen is born, and the disarray of her world is about to shatter under her very throne.

You must read part 1 first!  That is your only warning.
This part is just as dark as part 1 was.  Except now Millie surely isn’t a nun anymore and she’s getting used to being the King of the Underworld’s Queen.  Well sort of.  She and Raze still have their issues.  But over time, they are getting through them.
Millie certainly doesn’t take any of Raze’s crap and Raze treats her now as an equal and includes her in all the meetings he now has.  Even his employees see that Millie has changed Raze, for the better.  And Millie has certainly changed because of Raze.
This is a darker book, just as book 1 was but this one is more outwardly loving between Raze and Millie.   This will be a re-read when I need a dark, book hangover.

Author Bio

Amo’s debut series was the Sinful Souls MC series, and if you asked her which of her books you should start with, she would say The Devil’s Own Series (even though you can read any of her books as standalone’s).She’s a full-time writer from New Zealand who loves long romantic walks to the wine cellar.

When she’s not creating magic, you can usually find her relaxing in front of the television watching the latest episode of Supernatural or Vikings. (This will be updated as she finds new television shows with hot actors.)

She’s the proud mother of four little critters who are the reason she breathes, but also the reason she drinks.

She loves to write like how she lives, hanging on the edge of insanity with a wine glass in one hand and her morals-or lack thereof- in the other. 

Those are not my monkeys, I swear….
Oh those hellhounds? Yeah, those are mine.

Release Tour & Review ~ Fate of Amber ~ by ~ Kerri Ann

Title: Fate of Amber
Author: Kerri Ann
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Release Date: January 16, 2017
Shoan. 

I’ve lived a thousand lives. 

I’ve lived and screwed my way through the ages without ever finding love for my hardened soul. It’s not mine to find; or at least I thought. Her dark red hair, her flashing green eyes, and that piercingly happy and light attitude caught me the moment I saw her in the airport. 

If I thought she was going to be my redemption, would I have chased her, or avoided her as much as possible?

Athena

Twenty nine. I wanted to enter the dirty thirties in a whoring, and dangerously dark sinister way. One night of drinking too much, a conversation about things I know nothing about, and an ill thought out plan of escape turned into a bigger adventure than I’d ever dreamed of. Sure, I wanted a sweaty, broad chested, tall and handsome darling to bring me to my knees. In more ways than one, I got more than I bargained for. 

When the fates align, can hearts endure? Will theirs?

“For my first PNR romance read I couldn’t have asked for a better story. This story has twists and turns in every chapter and each character is something special.” – 5 Star Review from Candi


“I can’t wait to read more from this author.” – 4 Star Review from 2OCC Reviews

Who doesn’t love a good princess story??? I do!!!! And this was definitely a good princess story.

Princess Arabella of Salasia or Bella, is in New York to attend a football game as the guest of a team owner. Bella is a huge American football fan so this is a dream come true for her. If only her favorite player, Kyle Young, wasn’t on the injured list so she could see him play.

Kyle sneaks away to get some proper nachos at the snack bar when he meets Bella who immediately dazzles him with her vast football knowledge and enthusiasm for life.

However, Bella is a princess with a duty to her family and subjects. But either can’t forget the other, no matter how much they want to.

A sweet, Cinderella type story crossed with the Princess Diaries. Great read!

Review ~ Catching Raindrops ~ by ~ H. D’Agostino

I love stories like this one. Where it’s the daughter of a football coach and she has a crush one of the players. Then they grow up. This story is so much more than that.

Emma Sutter has grown up around football and football players her whole life. Her dad is the high school football coach so football and/or other sports are in her blood. She has always been her dad’s princess and therefore boys were scared off of showing interest into Emma. So Emma goes away for college – to escape her father’s protectiveness.

Emma comes home suddenly due to events that happen in college and decides to spend the summer with her family. There she comes across Brock Foster – the boy Emma always had a crush on when she was a teenager. Brock is back home due to a football injury that ended his college football career.

This was a great book with some surprises I didn’t see coming. I can’t wait to see Aaron and Mel’s story!

DEAR LIFE
NA Contemporary Romance

Designed by: Meghan Quinn

Photographer: Lauren Perry

Goodreads

AMAZON: http://amzn.to/2iBjcT9

Four lives. Four stories. Four sets of letters. Four brave souls in need of guidance while facing life’s greatest challenges.
The anonymously published Dear Life program is designed to help them step outside of their comfort zones, face their obstacles, and relinquish their demons…and prove their existence.
With their lives teetering between wanting more and losing it all, all four souls dive into the program as a New Year’s resolution, sending them on a crazy, life-altering journey.
Dear Life,
Please be kind.
Yours truly, Hollyn, Jace, Daisy, and Carter.


TBRreview

This book is an emotional roller coaster. But from the blurb, you kinda expect it. I’m not going to tell you each of their stories and why they’re in Dear Life but just know that Dear Life is what brings them all together. Dear Life (and each other) help them to step out of the box, change their lives and help them grow past these events in their lives.

The letters truly offer you an insight into the character and their psyche. And of course the letters at the end – 1 in particular – are just so moving and special and you feel like you’ve been on these journeys with them.

A must-read! There are the traditional Meghan Quinn hilarious moments but there are also some real touching emotional, thought-provoking ones as well.

5 stars!

About the Author:
Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.
Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.
Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

“Anyone who enjoys a tight and intelligent plot with many unexpected twists and turns, on top of a deliciously angst-riddled and heat-infused romantic connection, will love SE Cooper’s debut novel; Silhouette” ~ Freya Barker, Award-winning Author

“SE had me hooked from page 1 right up until the last page. She kept me guessing along the way and the OMG moments were brilliant” ~ DL Gallie, Author of The Liquor Cabinet series

“I loved how S.E brought together two very complex, broken characters and being a part of their journey watching them trying to mend all the broken pieces and making them whole again…This book is simply phenomenal from the first word to the last.” ~ Kinky Kittens Book Blog

“I really really enjoyed this book. From the minute I picked it up, I found it difficult to put down. The style of writing is easy and just flows and the author has you hooked every chapter.” ~ A Book Lover’s Emporium Book Blog

“Daddy, what is a white lie?”
My father put down his spoon and looked at me thoughtfully.“Why’d you ask, Princess?”
“I heard you talking yesterday and you said ‘one more white lie isn’t going to make a difference.’ I just wanted to know what you meant.”
“You heard that, huh?” My father tilted his head to study me. “It’s just a small lie you tell when you don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings. It’s nothing for you to worry about.”
My eyes grew wide. “Like when you told Aunt Rena her pie was good even though it tasted icky?”
“Exactly.” My father smiled.
“Or when you told that man last week that you hadn’t seen Uncle Bruno and you had?”
The smile fell from his face and he straightened in his chair. “No, Princess, that was a different kind of lie.”
Scrunching up my nose, I asked, “What kind of lie was that?”
My father swallowed hard before replying. “That’s the kind of lie where you have to have a real good memory.”
Clarissa Solano could never have known, as an inquisitive child, how significant those words would become. That she would spend years twisting the truth: hoping and praying that she would not contradict herself and expose the secrets she keeps locked inside.
Most of the people in her life don’t really know her at all. She forces them to swallow her lies, but she is the one who feels the bitter aftertaste of deception.
When Lane Hunter sweeps into her life, she finds herself opening up in ways she never thought possible. He sees beyond the facade to the woman beneath and knows instantly that he wants her. However, all is not as it seems and when secrets and lies are exposed, it threatens to destroy them all.

TBRreview

This book was wow. I laughed, I cried, I raged and I loved! This book had it all! It’s a longer book but so much happens! It’s one of those that you can see a movie being based of it! 

Clarissa (Ari) is just trying to stay under the radar so her guardian stops hiring bodyguards to protect her. Until something happens and she’s smack dab in the crosshairs. But Lane is there to help. 

And that’s all I’m saying because there is just SO much that happens and it would be a spoiler-packed review otherwise. So if you like intrigue, suspense, hot sexy times, you will want to read this book!  

5 stars!
