New Release ~ Thunder ~ by ~ Lilly Atlas

 

Title: Thunder

Series: Hell’s Handlers MC
Author: Lilly Atlas
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: November 3, 2020

 

Makenna has a past she’d rather bury deep in her mind. Unfortunately, as the sole guardian for her five siblings, forgetting where they came from isn’t possible. All she can hope for is to provide her loved ones the kind of untroubled childhood she’d always dreamed of and keep them far away from where she grew up. Friendships and relationships, especially the romantic variety, don’t rank on her priority list. That is until she’s introduced to a hot biker whose playful personality and mesmerizing smile would make any woman perk up and take notice, even one with more responsibilities than sense.
Thunder has seen it all, done it all, and has no interest in the high maintenance, in-your-face, party girls. Give him a no-frills woman, like the diner’s adorable new waitress, who doesn’t play games rather than a scantily clad bimbo who manipulates men for sport. Makenna is precisely the kind of fun he needs to celebrate patching with the Hell’s Handlers MC. Only he quickly discovers Makenna is a package deal with more baggage than a carefree guy like him can handle.
With each passing day, Thunder finds himself increasingly drawn to Makenna despite her mountain of responsibilities and his distrust of relationships. Even crazier is how some of her siblings are working their way under his skin and into his heart, as is Makenna.
Just as Thunder starts thinking about dates and promises, the CDMC roars back into his life. They’re responsible for his beloved club brother’s death, and he wants nothing more than to make them suffer.

 

When the threats start coming, and Makenna finds herself caught in the crossfire, Thunder will discover exactly the kind of man he is, and how far he’s willing to go to keep Makenna and her siblings in his life.

New Release ~ Rocking His Fake World ~ by ~ Alexis Winter

 

Title: Rocking His Fake World

Series: Love You Forever
Author: Alexis Winter
Genre: Contemporary Steamy Romance
Release Date: November 2, 2020
I should be celebrating my band signing a major record deal. 
How can I, when it’s costing me the love of my life?

From the very beginning, Daniel and I knew this day was coming. 
We made a deal early on that when I left on tour, whatever was between us would end. 
After all, I could never ask him to put his life on hold for me. 
Still, with what time we had, we reveled in the passion between us night after night. 

It was a fiery love story so intense, it was only a matter of time before it consumed us.
But it wasn’t without consequences.
There’s a lot to risk when you decide to fake it with someone.
Pretending you aren’t falling in love. Pretending your heart won’t be shattered when you walk away.
Then the time came for that crushing goodbye.
There was no more we have to stop doing this.
No more sneaking around.

Would I take it all back if it would grant me even a momentary reprieve from the pain? 
All the stolen kisses? All the heated moments between the sheets? 
Not for an instant. 
I’d do it all over again… because he’s worth the heartbreak. 

I pretended I wasn’t going to fall in love. 
Now, with only the memory of his kisses to hold on to, I realize how wrong I was.
 

 

Before I say what I need to say, I want to tell you how amazingly perfect these last few weeks with you have been. Every moment of it was perfect and I wouldn’t change it for the world.”

“But?” I ask, feeling it coming on.

“But… I’ve been thinking about how unfair this all is to you. I mean, I’m out there, living my life and doing what I want to do and you’re here wasting your life by waiting for me. I don’t want you to move on without me, but I don’t want you missing out on your life for me either.”

“What are you saying, Luna?” I ask, feeling the panic rising in my chest.

“I’m saying that when I get back, if you’re still around and wanting me, I will want you too. But I don’t want you waiting on me. I want you to go out and experience life. I don’t want you missing out on opportunities because you’re waiting for me. If you find some girl attractive, I want you to be able to ask her out. If you get offered an amazing job, I want you to be able to decide if you want to take it or not and I don’t want you factoring me in. I just want you to be happy, even if it isn’t with me.”

I nod my head as I clamp my teeth together. “So, you’re breaking up with me?”

She turns to face me. “No, I’m not breaking up with you because we’re not together, Daniel. As much as it hurts me to do this, I’m letting you go free, to find whatever makes you happy when I can’t be here. Please, understand the difference.”

New Release ~ The Power of a Myth ~ by ~ Anna Edwards

Title: The Power of a Myth

Series: Glacial Blood Series #8
Author: Anna Edwards
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Release Date: November 3, 2020

 

Molly Hughes lost the man she loved almost forty years ago when he chose to take part in a deadly war which saw humans fighting humans. He died a hero, and she retreated to the silent sanctuary of the Glacial Blood National Park. She’s feeling her age now and knows she needs the pack’s help. What she doesn’t count on is the ghost that walks through her front door.

Hayden Eckert was a war hero, and when an explosion destroyed his life, he was called to become a higher being. But the dragon’s bone prophecy was too powerful to contain, and he’s been forced to spend most of his life imprisoned for fear of the damage he could cause. Is this now his time to shine? Or will his guilt at losing the woman he loved consume him?

Will Molly and Hayden’s story be the true tragedy in the fight against freedom?

Welcome to the bestselling Glacial Blood series, a world of shifters and witches, magic and mayhem, unforgivable lies, and unbreakable love. A world where family is born not only through blood, but a bond. With plenty of threats to come—and a secret that remains untold.

“Fucking stupid woman,” he called out, but it was only a few seconds before he rushed into the jungle after her. 

He been in areas like this before—they were littered with hazards and traps, not just from wild creatures but also enemy weapons. 

“Stop,” he shouted to her, but she kept walking, deeper and deeper. He followed her path until he found her standing in a clearing. “Are you insane?” he yelled at her. “You could get us both killed. There could be any number of explosive traps laid around here.” 

“Are you worried about me now, or just yourself?” Molly retorted.

“We’re forbidden to come into the jungle,” Hayden snapped back.

“Yet, you accused me of coming in here, how did you politely put it, to fuck someone?” She raised an eyebrow at him. 

“You’ve no light to guide you this time. It’s crazy.”

“I didn’t have any light last time. I don’t need it,” Molly responded. 

There was no anger in her tone anymore. It was flat, and it scared him.

“Molly, what is going on?”

She lowered her head before raising it again and looking directly at him. “I’ve never revealed this before, but something tells me you’ll understand…I don’t know why? I’m probably insane, but there’s something you need to know about me.”

Hayden watched as she pulled her t-shirt over her head and dropped it on the jungle floor. 

“What are you doing?” He rushed at her, and picking up the t-shirt, he tried to use it to cover her body. He couldn’t help staring at her breasts encased in a white lace bra, though. They were the perfect size, and his dick started to lengthen in his army issue pants. 

“You said you believe dragons once existed and that one day you’ll find their bones. Let me do this, Hayden. Let me show you what really exists that you have no clue about.” 

There was something about the honesty in her eyes that made him stop and step back from her. He held her t-shirt to his chest as he watched her lower her pants. Her underwear followed next until she was naked before him. She took his breath away. All he could do was look at her perfect body. His dick strained in the confines of his pants even though he still believed she’d been with another man earlier. Or did he? Something told him this wasn’t about sex. 

Let me show you what really exists that you have no clue about.

Her words sent a shiver down his spine.

“Show me,” he ordered.
 
All I am a British author, from the depths of the rural countryside near London. In a previous life, I was an accountant from the age of twenty-one. I still do that on occasions, but most of my life is now spent intermingling writing while looking after my husband, two children and two cats (probably in the inverse order to the one listed!). When I have some spare time, I can also be found writing poetry, baking cakes (and eating them), or behind a camera snapping like a mad paparazzi.

I’m an avid reader who turned to writing to combat my depression and anxiety. I have a love of travelling and like to bring this to my stories to give them the air of reality. I like my heroes hot and hunky with a dirty mouth, my heroines demure but with spunk, and my books full of dramatic suspense.

Title: Significant
Author: Shanen Ricci
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 3, 2020

Aaron LeBeau crashes into my life as my savior. But he is no prince. He is everything I shouldn’t crave. A danger, sending all the wrong signals while awakening all the right things.

 

Aaron LeBeau.
A heartless alpha.
An undefeated Formula 1 driver.
A dark enigma.
… And the man who trapped me into an agreement.
I was supposed to unravel who he is, without shattering my rules.
I didn’t sign up for a whirlwind passion of a twisted role-play of the hunter and the prey.
Nor for our demons to be magnetically attracted, our chemistry to be haunting, our broken souls to understand each other.
I promised I would never be his; body, soul, heart.
And that’s a promise he’s hell-bent on breaking.
Love.
A banned word from our vocabulary.
Significant.
It has never been a possibility for us.
A mutual salvation, or mutual destruction.
Breaking or freeing each other.
Healing or getting ripped apart.
A fatal game.

I live my life by a certain standard. There are right and wrong ways to do things, and I always make sure that I’m on the right side. My brothers call me a wet blanket.

With one wild night, I’ve thrown all my moral guidelines out the window. Now I’m stuck with her and there’s no possible way this could work between us.

I’ve got a fun outfit and I’m ready to let loose. But my one night of fun was spoiled the minute he walked through that door. I was just looking for a good time, and I got him instead. He’s good-looking, but that’s about all that he has going for him. He’s not at all my type, and now he seems to think that I’m some loose whore. It was one night! But I’m stuck with him, so I have to find a way to make this work. If I don’t figure out a way to make the man loosen up, I’ll go insane.
 

 

 

I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

Goodreads – “Absolute perfection here folks! So good! Definitely a must read!”

Brittany’s Book Blog – “This story was certainly romantic and very unique and I loved how the relationship between Gretchen and Weston developed.”

 

 

Goodreads Review – “This book is fantastic!
Loved this so much and was lucky enough to read it very early on.
Weston is super swoony.”

 

 

 

 

For fans of The Ground Rules trilogy, Weston is back, and naughtier than ever, in this sweet and steamy boss secretary romance.
Gretchen Morris is barely thirty, yet she’s already a widow. Ethan, her two-year old boy, is the light of her life. This is it for her. She will never love anyone like she loved her late husband, Donovan. Every hour, he’s in her thoughts, in her heart, not letting go. She’s completely shattered because he’s gone, and every single day, she must live with the knowledge that she’s the one to blame.
She’s nothing but a hollow shell, going through her life on auto pilot, trying to be strong for Ethan, but failing miserably. She’s looking to become self-sufficient again, to head back into the job market and start a new chapter.
Surprisingly, all it takes is one jolt to bring her back to life; an opportunity to work with the reclusive wealthy man in the penthouse upstairs.
Weston Hanson is odd, beautiful, sweet, playful, and unlike anyone she’s ever met before. And he’s as broken as she is. He’s lived a man’s worst nightmare, gone through a divorce, and let go of a woman he loved dearly. He’s still obsessed with this woman and cannot move past the regrets in his life.
Can two people fall in love if their souls are full of broken memories, and their hearts are still held captive by others?

 

“Thanks for the flowers. You shouldn’t have.”

“It’s my pleasure.”

“But this is getting kind of silly, Weston,” I say. “I know it was in the agreement that you could get me gifts but—”

“They’re just flowers, Grasshopper.” He stands and walks toward me. My whole body turns on every time he’s within five feet of me. I love it, but I also kind of hate it. No man has ever had this effect on me. Not even Donovan.

He takes my hand. “They were offered in apology. I’m not quite sure what I’m apologizing for, but last time we played, I upset you.”

I shake my head. “No, you didn’t.”

His brows furrow. “Don’t lie to me. I study people, Gretchen, and I’m very good at reading them. I knew you wanted me the first time I looked into your eyes, and I also know I upset you. You need to tell me what the matter is because I don’t want any secrets between us.”

I blow out a breath. I’m clearly not getting out of this.

“You’ve disappointed me.”

“How so?” he asks with wide eyes.

“I didn’t realize you were the kind of man who could be unfaithful.”

He shakes his head. “How do you mean?”

“The woman you mentioned…” I clarify. “The one you’re trying not to think about. Is she the reason you divorced your wife?”

He hesitates a long beat before speaking, and I wonder if I’ve just hit the nail on the head.

“Kind of… she had a lot to do with our separation,” he confesses. “Quite a lot in fact.”

“Were you having an affair with her?” I ask, desperate to know.

“No,” he says. “Not really. Not in the traditional sense.”

What the hell does that mean?

He blows out a huge breath. “Are you sure you want to hear this?”

I don’t hesitate to answer. “Positive.”
