Release Blitz & Review ~ The Client ~ by ~ Pamela DuMond

● ● ●

A new steamy standalone Romantic Comedy from USA Today bestselling author Pamela DuMond.

Charlotte: I was an assistant at a Matchmaking Agency living on Insta-Ramen, hope, and dreams. How was it possible that I made a love match that resulted in the society marriage and decadent wedding reception of the year?

Joe: As heir to the Delacroix dynasty, I avoided society affairs like the plague. I hit the reception to drop off a bottle of Scotch. I didn’t plan on colliding with the sexy, pretty woman with the pouty lips. Certainly, didn’t intend to spill liquor all over her dress.

Charlotte: What kind of jerk spills Scotch all over… I glared up at the tuxedo-clad brick wall of a man holding the serving tray, and went weak in the knees. He was the most smoking hot waiter I’d ever seen.

Joe: I was an honorable man, always cleaned up my messes. But every press of the napkin against Charlotte’s gown filled my brain with filthy, dirty thoughts.

Charlotte: Hot Waiter was practically feeling me up in the middle of the ballroom. Worse? I was enjoying it. Hang on. Wait just one minute – he’s my new CLIENT? Fine, I’d work with the gorgeous jerk. But I didn’t care how hot he was – I would never. Ever. Sleep with him.

Joe: My grandmother hired Pouty Lips to be my Matchmaker? Oh yeah — I was totally going to sleep with Charlotte…

GAME ON…

I loved this story! Yes, it’s different from the norm of Gen Ryan but I loved it nonetheless!

Melanie is a crack-up. Even when she’s trying not to be. But that just makes her more funny. She’s decided that she’s going to be a surrogate for her former exboyfriend and his husband. Which is a huge undertaking normally but especially so since her ex broke up with her to finally accept he was gay. So that’s a big deal but Melanie handles it like a pro. She’s there for friendship and that’s what she’s got with them.

Wouldn’t you know it that the OBGYN helping Melanie through this process is a super hot doctor that Melanie can’t get out of her mind. So there’s a great start to a relationship. But it’s a great and funny ride!

A fantastic story from Gen Ryan!

Exclusive Excerpt:

Back on stage, Gage instantly starts heckling me about where I was with Crystal. I don’t bother telling him I wasn’t with her because he sure as shit won’t believe me. He’s one of those guys who latches onto something and won’t let go. Like a dog with a bone, he’ll keep needling me until I give him the juicy details. Only this time, there are no details to give, but that doesn’t matter. He’ll just accuse me of keeping my dirty little secrets to myself. We’ve been down this road before.

Grabbing my guitar, I give it a quick tune, making sure everything is just right. Dexter starts tapping out the beat on his drums, and Andy and I join in on guitar. Gage belts out the opening notes of “Ring of Fire” by Johnny Cash and the crowd goes nuts. It’s not the typical rock music we usually play, but when we find a good song that the fans love and we enjoy playing, then we go with it.

After another two songs, it’s time to slow it down. Gage heads off stage to take a quick break, and I step up to the mic. I usually sing backup, but for three songs during our show, I take the reins and sing lead vocals. This song is one of them. It’s my favorite song to sing because it’s Abby’s song.

Way back when we were in grade school, I caught her humming it as we walked home from school. She was going to help me work on our Constitution assignment at her place, which happened every week or so. That particular day, she was quiet, lost in thought, so I let her be. Suddenly, she started humming, and it didn’t take me long to catch on to the tune. She had the voice of an angel, I remember thinking, and wanted to beg her to sing something for me. I had already discovered my love for music, but knowing that Abby shared this passion with me was like kismet. When I asked her about it, she just shied away and hid behind her books. I went home and started working on that song on my guitar. It took a while, but eventually, I got it down, and have been playing it ever since.

I start strumming the opening notes of Jeff Healey’s “Angel Eyes.” Continuing to play the song I know by heart, I scan the crowd until I see her, standing in the back, a soft smile on her face as she sings along to the song. Everything and everyone around us just fades away. It’s as if we’re the only two people on the beach. The way she watches me kicks my heart into overdrive, because I know, when it comes to this song, she only has eyes for me. Not that I want her eyes on me or anything. I mean, we are just friends. But if it were something more than friendship, then I’d be the luckiest son of a bitch to have her there with me.

Closing my eyes, I sing the words I’ve known by heart for fifteen years to my best friend. I can picture her out there saying the exact same words at the exact same time. We’ve sung this song together for years. Not publicly, of course, because she’d rather strip naked and do the chicken dance in the rain in the middle of Main Street than to get on stage and sing. In the privacy of her apartment or mine, we’ve belted out the words on several occasions. Abby actually has a beautiful voice. She just refuses to let anyone but me hear it.

When I reach the end of the second verse, I open my eyes and scan the crowd. She’s still there, standing in the same spot, watching me and singing along. I give her a knowing grin as I finish off the song strong, singing it for her. For her because she loves it, not because it means anything more than that. She’s my friend, remember? We’ve covered this.

Why does it feel like I’m completely full of shit?

Have I mentioned that I love this series?? Because I do! Between the 6 Summers sisters, their monthly Summers sister nights and their zany grandparents, there is nothing about this series I don’t like!

After reading the other 2 books, I was dying for Abby and Levi’s story. So I’m glad it was the next in the series. Abby has had a crush on her BFF Levi for years. But she knows he doesn’t see her that way. He’s used to the groupies he picks up at his band’s gigs. So finally Abby decides she’s not to going to wait anymore.

Levi has been best friends with Abby for years but more recently, he’s been noticing her more and referring to her as his girl. At least in his head anyway. He doesn’t want to screw up their amazing friendship but he wants to try and see if they have a relationship potential.

Such a sweet, funny, relatable story. And the crazy Emma and Orval. I love the Summers family!!

Redemption Lane

Sometimes the past bleeds into the future.

Bess, a wild party girl running from herself, literally falls victim to her demons when she collapses in the most unexpected of places.

Lane, a tightly wound, up-and-coming CEO who can’t seem to stop enabling his brother, doesn’t know what hit him when Bess falls at his feet and into his life.

It was a night she doesn’t remember, and one he can’t forget.

But rather than stay and help the needy college coed, Lane decides to teach his brother a long overdue lesson––a decision that later comes back to haunt him and only adds fury to the transgressions of his past he is already fleeing from.

Years later, Bess and Lane meet again. She doesn’t know him, and he doesn’t share that he knows what happened on that ill-fated night when she almost died. After all, he has a web of complicated lies from his own youth to protect.

Both are seeking salvation in the arms of others and ignoring the truth—that the only road to redemption lies in confronting your past.

When the past and present collide, is there any chance at redemption?

Absolution Road

For Jake Wrigley, the future is bleak. Some people are survivors, but he’s getting by on his bad-boy looks and charming smile. He owns a gym, gets into bar fights, and wrestles his demons with rough workouts—both in and out of the bedroom.

For Alyson Road, the future is bright. Life can only improve from where she grew up. She graduated at the top of her law class, cares for her ailing mom, and in her job, she defends those who can’t afford anyone else. Her work is thankless but honest.

Jake’s twin brother has been covering his ass for as long as they’ve been alive, but that all changes when Jake finds himself in front of the fiery public defender, his future in her hands. For the first time ever, he doesn’t want to involve his brother, finally realizing he needs to stand alone, be his own man.

Even if Jake’s never absolved of his past wrongdoings or his heart is never scrubbed of the blackness that resides there, he can do one good deed—protect the beautiful lawyer who touched his soul—until helping her nearly becomes his own undoing.

Wow. Just wow. This box set is just such a journey. I had to keep taking a break as I read just because so much happens, in both stories!!

Lane is the more responsible of the twins. He’s always been the cleaner-upper of Jake’s messes. And that’s how he meets Bess. Fast forward years later and he still can’t forget Bess. She has always been in his mind and when he meets her again and he thinks it’s meant. Well ish. But he just can’t stay away from her. So besides all this, there’s all the other things that both Lane and Bess go through and learn.

I am so glad that Jake’s story was after Lane’s. Because yes, Lane and Bess, get a HEA but there’s still some unanswered questions plus you really want to find out what’s going to happen with Jake. But now Lane is living his own life and Jake can’t bother him to clean his messes anymore. So that’s when he meets Aly. Both like each other but the circumstances of their meeting are less than ideal.

Excerpt

“Climb gates around here often?” he asked, no censure in his voice. I realized he spoke English as fluently as he spoke Spanish.

He was clad in navy basketball shorts, a pair of Nike running shoes and he was just sweaty enough for me to realize he’d likely been working out. I swear I was hypnotized by all of his exposed skin, so much so that I could just about remember my own name at that moment. I’d have blamed the fall for my dazed and confused frame of mind but that wasn’t it at all. It was purely because of him—the sexy Spanish-speaking god who’d saved me from certain harm. My eyes trailed along his muscular but lean body hungrily as I catalogued just how ridiculously gorgeous he was. I was hypnotized by his six-pack and the set of V-cut muscles I had an insane urge to trail my fingers over.

I’d have kept right on staring had he not cleared his throat. I cringed as I came back to reality and realized he’d asked a question I hadn’t retained.

“Um, huh?” I asked, perfectly clueless.

“I was asking if you’re a professional gate climber,” he said huskily.

“No, I—”

“She’s really fine after a fall from that height?” the officer asked as he came through the gate.

“She never hit the ground,” my savior said, “since I caught her.”

The cop looked almost as impressed as I felt. I’d have heaped praised onto the stranger who saved me had I not remembered that I needed to be focused on a more pressing concern.

“So now that I’m on this side I really need to get my—”

The officer pinned me with a look that left no doubt that he was in charge. “Miss, please remain silent while I work out what’s going on here.”

I pursed my lips and tried to contain my annoyance. I knew he was just doing his job but all I cared about was finding Elvis.

The officer turned back to the Spanish model—I naturally assumed he modeled because he looked like he belonged in sensual looking black and white ads for men’s cologne. You know the kind of ads I’m talking about, right? There’s always a sexy guy giving you the let’s have all the sex look with a set of eyes that are clearly attempting to hypnotize you into buying something.

He was at least six feet tall and had a head full of thick, dark hair. His face was perfectly proportioned from forehead to chin, and I could find nothing that didn’t appear to be symmetrical. He had a ridiculously sexy closely trimmed beard that I wanted to trace with my fingers and his jaw was the sexiest thing I’d ever seen. I turned crimson when my eyes trailed up and met his and I realized he was observing me—which meant he knew I’d been staring at him. Again.

I bit my lip and tried not to blush as I blinked like an idiot. I was relieved to have a reason to look to the police officer when he cleared his throat to get our attention. “Are you the one who called about the disturbance down the side of the house?” he asked.

I couldn’t resist the urge to let my eyes wander back to the Spanish god. I knew just enough Spanish to determine that if his looks were rated on the salsa scale he’d be called el más caliente.

His eyes were on me as he answered the cop. “My brother called, yes.”

“What’s your name, sir?”

“Alejandro Cruz.”

Even his name was sexy. My skin felt hot and prickly under his gaze. Anxious for a reprieve, I looked back to the officer.

The cop nodded as he took note of it on his pad. “And your brother’s name?”

“Rafael Cruz.”

“And you?” the cop asked with a head nod toward me.

“Kaya Porter.”

“Can you spell that?”

“K-a-y-a,” I answered.

“That’s a weird name,” the officer said as he wrote it down.

I wasn’t sure if he was being rude or not so I shrugged and said nothing. Alejandro growled something under his breath that I couldn’t understand. A shiver went down my back at the way the words rolled off his tongue. His Spanish accent fascinated me. I’d never been one to care one way or the other about a man’s voice, but his did things to me. I wondered if audio erotica was a thing. If it were, I would pay a subscription fee to hear him talk all day.

“So were you trying to escape or get in?” the officer asked, ruining my good fantasy about an Alejandro Cruz dirty talk subscription service.

“I was trying to get in,” I answered stiffly, annoyed that the officer had already forgotten everything I’d said, “I told you—”

“No, no, she is not the disturbance,” Alejandro interjected. “My brother thought someone was trying to steal God only knows what from the exterior of the house. He was asleep and heard something outside his bedroom window and panicked. He shouldn’t have called the police—it’s animal control that we need. Some dickhead bird went through the trash that my brother forgot to secure and he’s been leading him on one hell of a chase around the yard.”

My eyes narrowed and my hands went to my hips as I stared down the model. “Don’t talk about my little buddy like that,” I snapped.

LOVED!!! I loved Mateo, but Alejandro, I might just love even more!!! Alejandro spoke to me more than Mateo. Plus Alejandro hadn’t known/met Kaya before. He saw her and was immediately drawn to her. And the lengths he goes to in order to interact with Kaya are sweet and sometimes downright hysterical.

Kaya has no plans to be involved with any man until at least 25. That was the goal she’d set for herself, too bad Alejandro (among other things) tries to sell her on breaking her ‘plan’.

I cannot wait for book 3!! I’ve loved this series just like I’ve loved the Renegade Saints series!! Ella Fox is one of my Go-to authors!!!

Country’s hottest bad boy.

That’s what they call me. My label ate it up
until I became “too bad” for the good folks of country music. That’s when Hard
Candy Records picked me up and took a chance on me. Probably not their smartest
move, but I won’t tell them that. Especially when they’ve assigned me a
babysitter to try and keep my ass out of trouble. One smart-mouthed,
unimpressed, sexy as homegrown sin, Addy Mae Masterson.

She likes to pretend that she doesn’t like me
and I like to let her.

I may have a past that haunts me and she may
have a habit of getting attached, but damn if I don’t want to show her just how
good this bad boy can be.

Every time I saw this title, I immediately sang “Sugar Sugar” in my head. And then I think of Now and Then and want to watch that movie. But almost everything I do makes me think of a song.

Beau is the bad boy of the country music world. So much so that he needs a “babysitter” or so he calls it. Addy is his handler for Hard Candy records until they’re sure he can behave. And Addy is definitely someone he wouldn’t mind handling him.

Addy already knows that Beau is going to be a menace, even if he is amazingly attractive. She knows herself well and knows that getting involved with someone like Beau will not go well for her and that’s why she has to be nothing but business.

I have LOVED Mandi Beck’s writing and can’t wait for more! Her characters are deep and feeling and a joy to read!

Elliott Redeemed

TBRsynopsis

A single mom and tortured musician find common ground in Scarlett Cole’s Elliott Redeemed, the second standalone romance about the band Preload.

Elliott “Pyro” Dawson burns up the lead guitar like a legend. But the nickname Pyro isn’t just a clever play on words. It’s much darker. A past he’s fought like hell to overcome.

Grocery store cashier Kendalee Walker is at her wits end and homeless. She’s watched her fourteen-year-old son, Daniel, go so far off the rails, he can no longer see the tracks.

When the two are brought together, attraction flares, but can Elliott find the family he never had with the sexy woman and her son, or will he fall back on dangerous habits?

Elliott might be my favorite. Of course Scarlett Cole’s books are often like that where each story makes me love that main character more than the last. Each of Scarlett Cole’s characters are amazing but flawed in a way that makes them real. Each guy isn’t Prince Charming and that’s just one of many things I love about her stories!

Elliott is the lead guitarist for Preload and has had a rough life. But he’s found ways to deal with it. Well sort of. But when he and the band are asked to appear as a Make a Wish like request. While walking the halls, Elliott wanders into Kendalee’s son’s room and they hit it off. Plus Elliott likes Kendalee.

Kendalee is a part-time grocery clerk who is now homeless and is spending all her time at the hospital with her son. Elliott walks in and besides being famous, he’s great with her son. And can get him to open up.

Another great Scarlett Cole book! I can’t wait to see whose story is next. I love these guys and their beautiful but flawed selves.

You really need to read Jail House Rock first before this story just so you know Tillie and Millie and Jake and their whole story.

Tillie is the “wild child” of Millie and Tillie. Nathan has known Millie and Tillie for years and has been around to try and keep Tillie out of trouble – a noble and impossible task. But Nathan has been into Tillie for years and he’s finally tired of her running. He’s making his attraction crystal clear to her and letting her know that he is it for her and she for him. Regardless of what Tillie thinks.

Another great story from this duo! I love Millie and Tillie and their attitudes of them against the world once they reconcile.

5 stars!

Blog Tour & Review ~ The Real Thing ~ by ~ Melissa Foster

This sassy, spirited baker is fine with heat—

but is her fake fiancé too hot to handle?

THE REAL THING

Sugar Lake #1

Melissa Foster

Releasing Sept 5, 2017

Montlake

Bakery owner Willow Dalton’s friendship with Zane Walker has always been a bit
complicated. Now a scrumptiously hot A-list actor, Zane’s always had a
reputation as player. He’s arrogant, and he’s definitely not boyfriend
material. Sure, he did Willow a favor by agreeing to take her virginity before
college, but is that reason enough to go along with a fake engagement a decade
later—even if it comes with a real diamond ring?

Zane should have known better. Nothing involving Willow has ever been easy. Still, he knows her better than anyone, and becoming America’s hottest new leading man means
cleaning up his reputation. An “engagement” to curvy, sass-mouthed Willow is
the perfect PR move . . . provided no one gets hurt.

Now Zane and Willow’s little white lie has turned into an irresistible recipe for sweet
temptation. And soon no one will be able to tell the difference between their
fake engagement or the real thing—including them.

**THE REAL THING is being published by Montlake (an Amazon imprint) and won’t be available on other ebook retailers, but you can download a FREE ereader app to read

I LOVE Zane! Absolutely freaking LOVE him!!! Yes he’s a big movie star heartthrob but he still comes back to town to persuade Willow, his best friend, to be his pretend fiancee and give him the credibility that he needs as a settled down actor for this role. Willow is the only person he can imagine in the fake fiancee role and so no one but Willow will do. She’s one of his best friends and one of the only people who doesn’t treat him as the Hollywood star he has become.

Willow was in love with Zane as a child but over 10 years has gotten over him. Except he was her first and held her heart for so long, even if he never realized it.

Another amazing series by Melissa Foster that just makes me want to read this series even more! Definitely keep an eye on this series. I can’t wait to see how Willow’s sisters get their HEAs.
