Title: Tangled Web

Series: The Cortell Brothers Book 6

Author: Giulia Lagomarsino

Genre: Small Town Romance

Andrew

I left behind my hacker ways and decided to become a P.I.

Of course, I was more of a cybercrime P.I. than an actual investigator.

But when her file fell in my lap, I knew I couldn’t walk away. Not yet.

She had the body of a vixen and the eyes of a killer.

I was terrified.

And yet strangely attracted to the woman.

Was it sane? Not at all. Every time I saw her, I was sure I would end up dead.

But there were worse ways to go…

Lorelei

I was finally free.

Well, almost. My husband had left me with a bit of a mess.

And his kids…don’t even get me started on them. All I wanted was my money, but that wasn’t going to happen until I could get my hands on my dearly departed husband’s trust.

In the meantime, I needed someplace new to live. So, I pointed my finger at the map and ended up in the cutest little town.

I just needed to make some friends, to blend in.

I could do that, and I knew just where to start…

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.

Book Tour ~ Harm’s Way ~ by ~ Karen Renee

Title: Harm’s Way
Series: A Riot MC Biloxi Novel
Author: Karen Renee
Release: April 13, 2021
Genre: MC Romance

The sexy, action-packed first book in the Riot MC Biloxi series from Karen Renee.

If it weren’t for bad luck, Stephanie Combes would have no luck at all.

On top of stealing her identity and ruining her credit, Stephie’s ex-boyfriend has shamed her in the most unexpected way. As a card dealer, she’s determined to make a fresh start in Biloxi where the tips are better and she can climb out from under her shame and debt. Running into her long-lost stepbrother and his sexy-as-sin best friend wasn’t in the cards, but that was her bum-luck rearing its ugly head. The last thing she wants is another man in her life.

When it rains it pours, but lucky for Stephie, Har is there to save the day during the deluge. Staying with Har temporarily should be no problem, but they can’t deny their lust. The more Stephie distances herself, the more Har fights to keep her around. And he fights dirty.

Michael “Har” Walcott’s motorcycle club is in turmoil. As president of the Riot MC Biloxi chapter, he’s determined to get his club out of the drug trade, but his brothers are resistant. The last thing he needs is a woman dividing his focus from his brothers and his club… which is precisely when he meets a spunky and seemingly familiar brunette.

She’s familiar because Stephanie was once a stepsister to Har’s best friend Brute. Allowing her to distract him isn’t an option. But after her roof collapses, Har steps in to save the day. The more he learns about Stephie, the more he wants her to stay.

He fights his attraction, but he can’t control his impulses.

He hasn’t felt anything like this for a woman in years. It’ll be a cold day in hell before he lets it slip through his fingers again.

Karen Renee is the author of the Riot Motorcycle Club, Beta, and O-Town series of books. She once crunched Nielsen ratings data but these days she brings her imagination to life by writing books. She has wanted to be a writer since she was very young, but it’s taken the last twenty plus years for her to amass enough courage and overall life experience to bring that dream to life. Some of those life experiences came from the wonderful world of advertising, banking, and local television media research. She is a proud wife and mother, and a Jacksonville native. When she’s not at the soccer field or cooking, you can find her at her local library, the grocery store, in her car jamming out to some tunes, or hibernating while she writes and/or reads books.

Narrators: Sebastian York & Summer Morton

She was everything he never knew he needed.

He was everything she avoided.

It’s not the first time I’ve been called a stalker.

I can’t blame Andrew Christiansen for thinking that since we keep crossing paths, especially when I pop up in the most unexpected of places—his office.

We’re opposites in every way. Not the kind that attract.

I’ve been called a ray of sunshine. He’s been called a grumpy workaholic that needs an attitude adjustment. By me.

Somehow, we become friends, the teasing, flirting, and kissing kind. But this thing blooming between us threatens to turn this relationship from friends-to-lovers into a full-blown office romance.

That’s the least of my worries because one or two, little, okay big, secrets I’ve been keeping may turn him from the one I want into the one I can’t have.

New York Times and USA Bestselling Author, S. L. Scott, was always interested in the arts. She grew up painting, writing poetry and short stories, and wiling her days away lost in a good book and the movies.

With a degree in Journalism, she continued her love of the written word by reading American authors like Salinger and Fitzgerald.

She was intrigued by their flawed characters living in picture perfect worlds, but could still debate that the worlds those characters lived in were actually the flawed ones.

This dynamic of leaving the reader invested in the words, inspired Scott to start writing with emotion while interjecting an underlying passion into her own stories.

Living in the capital of Texas with her family, Scott loves traveling and avocados, beaches, and cooking with her kids. She’s obsessed with epic romances and loves a good plot twist. She dreams of seeing one of her own books made into a movie one day as well as returning to Europe. Her favorite color is blue, but she likens it more toward the sky than the emotion. Her home is filled with the welcoming symbol of the pineapple and finds surfing a challenge though she likes to think she’s a pro.

New Release ~ Chasing Victory ~ by ~ Olivia Peters

Title: Chasing Victory

Series: The Game Changer Series

Author: Olivia Peters

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: April 26, 2021

Victory

When my best friend’s older brother breaks my heart, I flee to New York City without ever looking back. Well, almost ever. It’s not always easy to leave his perfectly chiseled body in my rear view.

I’m determined to resist temptation and his pleas for me to move back home. Back to him. History always repeats itself, and when a man breaks you once, only a fool would let him do it again…

So I guess you can call me a damn fool.

Cade

Letting the love of my life walk away was the biggest sacrifice I ever made. And now Victory has me firmly in the barely-friends zone as the penance I deserve.

When tragedy throws us back together, we seek comfort in the familiarity of each other’s arms – and my bed. I’ve finally earned a second chance, and I won’t make the same mistake twice…

Even if that means lying to her about the real reason we broke up.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Goodreads Review – “I’m so glad I took a chance on a new author and this book! This book literally had feelings so many things!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Romance Reads Reviewed by K – “Olivia Petersen ripped my heart out, put it through the meat grinder before she tried to puzzle it back together.”

When Olivia isn’t writing, she’s spending time with her family, enjoying the great outdoors, and cooking up a storm in her cluttered kitchen.

Sex on the Seats by Elise Faber is live! https://geni.us/SOTS Buy Now on All Platforms

I didn’t know what I was doing in a bar at midnight. On a weeknight. Certainly not sleeping, even though I had to work the next day. Definitely not open to talking with anyone, or trying to pick up a date. Surely . . . not paying the least bit of attention to the beautiful bartender with gorgeous hazel eyes and a body built for sin. He’d flash a smile and the women around him melted. He’d chuckle and even I wasn’t immune to the silken way it slid down my spine. And I was singular. I didn’t pay attention to men (and yes, I said that as a filthy, four-letter word). I existed by myself. For myself. It was safer that way. Then . . . he talked to me. Then . . . he flashed that smile my way. Then he made me want a stranger more than I wanted my careful distance. Oh. Hell.

About the Author: USA Today bestselling author, Elise Faber, loves chocolate, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and hockey (the order depending on the day and how well her team—the Sharks!—are playing). She and her husband also play as much hockey as they can squeeze into their schedules, so much so that their typical date night is spent on the ice. Elise changes her hair color more often than some people change their socks, loves sparkly things, and is the mom to two exuberant boys. She lives in Northern California.

New Release & Review ~ The Belle and the Beard ~ by ~ Kate Canterbary

The Belle and the Beard by Kate Canterbary is now live!

Jasper-Anne Cleary’s guide to salvaging your life when you find yourself publicly humiliated, out of work, and unemployable at 35—not to mention newly single:

1. Run away. Seriously, there’s no shame in disappearing. Go to that rustic old cottage your aunt left you. Look out for the colony of bats and the leaky roof. Oh, and the barrel-chested neighbor with shoulders like the broad side of a barn. Definitely look out for him.
2. Stop wallowing and stay busy. It doesn’t matter whether you know how to bake or fix things around the house. Do it anyway. Dust off your southern hospitality and feed that burly, bearded neighbor some pecan pie.
3. Meet new people. Chat up the grumpy man-bear, pretend to be his girlfriend when his mother puts you two on the spot, agree to go as his date to a big family party. Don’t worry—it’s only temporary.
4. Cry it out. Screwing up your life entitles you to wine, broody-moody music, and uninterrupted sobbing.
5. Get over it all by getting under someone. Count on your fake boyfriend to deliver some very real action between the sheets.
6. Move on. The disappearing act, the cottage, the faux beau—none of it can last forever.

Linden Santillian’s guide to surviving the invasion when a hell-in-heels campaign strategist moves in next door:

1. Do not engage. There is no good reason you should chop her wood, haul her boxes, or pick her apples.
2. Do not accept gifts, especially not the homemade ones. Disconnect the doorbell, toss your phone over a bridge, hide in the basement if you must, but do not eat her pie.
3. Do not introduce her to your friends and family. They’ll favor her over you and never let you forget it.
4. Do not intervene when she’s crying on the back porch. Ignore every desire to fix the entire world for her. By no means should you take her into your arms and memorize her peach-sweet curves.
5. Do not take her to bed, even if it’s just to get her out of your system.
6. Do not, under any circumstances, fall in love with her.

I loved this version of Beauty and the Beast, with a more modern twist. First, I’ve never met or read about a woman with the name Jasper-Anne. And truthfully, no man with a first name Linden if I’m completely honest. And with their unconventional first names before, I absolutely loved their story!

Jasper-Anne was determined to make friends, at least acquaintances with Linden. And Linden, while being anti-social, has to help this woman with her cabin. She is obviously a city girl and needs a lot of help. And maybe she can help him with his mother and family wanting him to date. And he might find her very attractive.

I truly loved and felt for Jasper-Anne. I can’t say that I would have done the same thing but I definitely would have felt the same as she did dealing with what she had.

It takes a lot to use a fairytale (is Beauty and the Beast a fairytale?) as a loose basis for a story and to do a good job at it but Ms Canterbury definitely has!

5 stars!

Cover Reveal ~ The Reed Security Relationship Manual ~ by ~ Giulia Lagomarsino

Title: The Reed Security Relationship Manual

Series: Reed Security Series #27

Author: Giulia Lagomarsino

Genre: Security Romance

Release Date: May 10, 2021

This is the 27th book in the The Reed Security Series, and they should be read in order.

The book you’ve all been waiting for! All the advice the men have given to each other, all written down in one relationship manual, along with a fun adventure to go along with it! What happens when the men rush to finish the manual, the women find out and write their own, and the ladies go off on another adventure of their own? Nothing good.

How To Successfully Navigate Women’s Questions About Their Bodies

When asked if a pair of jeans makes your woman look fat, there are so many ways to get this wrong. You need to be sure that your answer doesn’t lead to more questions or make her question your answer in any way. The more questions asked, the more you’ll fumble.

Do not make eye contact. Look over her shoulder, but appear to be looking right in her eyes.
Never EVER look at her jeans. There will inevitably be a pause while you look, which will only lead her to believe that you’re really trying to figure out if she looks fat.
Avoiding eye contact all together is also a very bad thing. You must look her way. Not looking will make her think that you don’t want to answer the question. Which, of course, you don’t want to, but you have to so that she doesn’t kill you.
Making jokes about her weight is a no-no. You may think that you’re trying to relieve the tension, but you’re really just making her seethe inside.
Refusing to answer is just like saying that she’s fat.
If she asks if she looks like a stuffed sausage, immediately answer no. Again, laughing or refusing to answer will not make her feel confident.
Asking her to turn so you can check her out from all angles is as good as admitting there’s a problem, but you’re trying to determine how bad it is.
Finding her another pair of pants will end badly for you.

Now, that being said, there are other areas of her body that you can definitely check out as you answer. In fact, enthusiasm is greatly appreciated. For example, are my boobs too big?

Hell no! Your boobs are huge and I love them that way!
God, I’d love to motorboat you right now.
Throwing out a ‘I love your tits’ can never end badly.
Cupping her breast while muttering ‘fucking perfect’ will end in bed or with a blow job. I’m just saying…
