Happy Release Day & Review!! Making Up by Helena Hunting

See My Review Below!!!

“I LOVED both Cosy and Griffin! This story was ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!”- Kendall Ryan, New York Times bestselling author

Making Up an all-new laugh-out-loud romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting is available now!

Making Up_ebook

Cosy Felton is great at her job—she knows just how to handle the awkwardness that comes with working at an adult toy store. So when the hottest guy she’s ever seen walks into the shop looking completely overwhelmed, she’s more than happy to turn on the charm and help him purchase all of the items on his list.

Griffin Mills is using his business trip in Las Vegas as a chance to escape the broken pieces of his life in New York City. The last thing he wants is to be put in charge of buying gag gifts for his friend’s bachelor party. Despite being totally out of his element, and mortified by the whole experience, Griffin is pleasantly surprised when he finds himself attracted to the sales girl that helped him.

As skeptical as Cosy may be of Griffin’s motivations, there’s something about him that intrigues her. But sometimes what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas and when real life gets in the way, all bets are off. Filled with hilariously awkward situations and enough sexual chemistry to power Sin City, Making Up is the next standalone in the Shacking Up world.

My Review…

Another stellar story by the amazing Helena Hunting.

Set in the amazing Shaking Up world this is Griffin’s story.  I have been so looking forward to his!! I am a sucker for the strong, silent type and he fits the bill fabulously!

Griffin and Cosy are a magnetic couple, even with the bit of unorthodox mixed in for fun. A bit of the prince and the pauper and a bit of an age gap but nothing creepy or “squicky”.

I was amazed and humored by Cosy.  Her age was not a hinderance at all.  She was mature beyond her years and she was feisty and fun as she should be at her age.  It was the perfect blend.

Oh Griffin, Ms. Hunting never fails to make me swoon with her hero’s.  Just when I think she can’t beat her last hero, she gives more and makes a man even more imperfectly perfect than before.

Griffin and Cosy’s story is going to keep you turning the pages until the end and then wish it wasn’t over.  Their story isn’t all hearts and flowers…it’s real and bumpy and oh so just wowza!

Get your hands on this fantastic story! You will thank me later!

Happy Release Day & Review!!! Cupids Anonymous by Lila Monroe

See My Review Below!!!

Title: Cupids Anonymous
Author: Lila Monroe
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: July 16, 2019
Blurb
Fall in love with the sizzling new romantic comedy – perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella and Christina Lauren! 

Rule #1 Don’t get hit by your own arrow.

I’m a professional Cyrano – minus the honking great nose. Need a love note, raunchy
sext, or apology letter so epic that your other half will forget you hesitated a beat too long when you asked, ‘does this make me look fat?’? I’ve got you covered. But when my most frequent client, the annoyingly charming (or is that charmingly annoying?) Dylan Griffin comes to me with an unconventional new job, I discover that three little words can add up to one BIG complication…
Because Dylan doesn’t want help seducing another swimsuit model (for once in his life). He wants my help winning over his high-school crush (aka, his one true love) –
and he’s prepared to make it worth my while. Throw in a summer Catskills trip that’s equal parts ‘Dirty Dancing’ and dirty-talking, and this Cupid is soon out of her depth – and head over heels with the last man I expected. But can I find the right words when it comes to my own heart? Or will this happily ever end in disaster? 
Find out in the sparkling new romantic comedy from Lila Monroe!

My Review…

Oh yes!! A brand new series from Ms. Monroe!!

A modern take on Cyrano, with a bit of a twist.

This is Poppy and Dylan’s story.  Poppy is a modern day Cyrano.  And her top client is Dylan.

As with all of Ms. Monroe’s stories, you are going to laugh, you are gonna get a little misty and you are gonna swoon!

I so enjoyed Poppy, she is like the best friend I wish I had.  She felt real and imperfectly perfect.  She didn’t apologize for her “shortcomings” heck, she embraced them and made them rock!

Dylan is a blind fool! He is the meaning of the saying “You can’t see the forest through the trees”.  But he redeems himself beautifully albeit almost too late, but that’s just the bit of angst that I enjoy in a story.

I was so excited to see this new series from Ms. Monroe and I cannot wait to see who’s story she comes out with next!

Happy Release Day & Review!!! Hell on Wheels by Penny Dee

See My Review Below!!!

Title: Hell on Wheels

Series: Kings of Mayhem MC #4

Author: Penny Dee
Genre: MC Romance/Ex-Navy SEAL
Release Date: July 16, 2019

 

Blurb
I left here a man but came back a beast 

CHANCE

A shoulder-fired missile broke my body.

But betrayal obliterated my heart.

For months I lingered in and out of hell until my body healed.

Now I’m back in town with my club brothers. They think I am ok. But I am still fighting a war of darkness in my head and I can’t see a way out.

Then she comes into town like a summer breeze and makes me feel things I didn’t know existed.

She has the voice of an angel and the body of a goddess.

But she is running from her own demons. From the Devil himself.

He’s coming to town and she’s scared. But I’ve walked through hell and survived.

And I’ll walk through it again to protect her.
CASSIDY

I’ve spent years running from my past.

Town to town.

State to state.

Never putting down roots.

Then I meet a beautiful, scarred beast of man who makes me feel something for the first time of my life…hope.

He makes me want to stay but it’s an impossibility.

Because the Devil is coming for me and when he arrives I won’t stand a chance.

Hell on Wheels is book four in the Kings of Mayhem MC series.

My Review…

Kings of Mayhem MC

Oh how I was waiting for Chance’s story.  As a military vet and married to a combat veteran, I could really empathize with Chance’s road to recovery. He is scarred, both inside and out.  He thinks he is an unredeemable soul…he couldn’t be more wrong.

Cassidy is a broken soul, the unimaginable horrors that she faced until she was brave enough to run is heartbreaking.  She has the courage that most people wish they had. She sees the beauty in Chance, the real man beneath the scars and she fights to make him see it too.

Ms. Dee yet again immerses the reader into the gritty world that is Destiny.  Her words weave a visual that is both beautiful and dangerous, hopeful and bleak.

Like with her other stories in this series, you see the “family” that the MC creates.  You get action and suspense that will leave you gasping.  You see a love so fragile bloom in adversity and chaos.  That is a true testament to exemplary writing.

You can’t go wrong with this series by Penny Dee! I hope she continues writing this series, there are so many secondary characters that I would love to see get their own stories.

Happy Release Day & Review!!! Dirty Flirty Enemy by Piper Rayne

See My Review Below!!!

He’s the arrogant Manhattan realtor with billboards advertising his six-pack more than his expertise in negotiations.

I’m the competing broker who stupidly moved across the hall
from his office.

From day one, I’ve been his sworn enemy. Okay, so I might
have accidentally stolen one of his clients. Well, is it stealing if the client
comes to me?

Even our vicious banter and loathing gazes can’t hide the
chemistry between us. Who can blame me? He has enough charisma to make every
hot-blooded woman in the city melt with a single word.

Just when I think a mutual respect could be born between us,
the biggest developer in the city offers us an opportunity that pits us against
each other.

Time to forget Carmelo Mancini’s dreamy eyes and tight abs.

Game on.

Piper Rayne, or Piper and Rayne, whichever you prefer because we’re not one author, we’re two. Yep, you get two USA Today Bestselling authors for the price of one. Our goal is to bring you romance stories that have “Heartwarming Humor With a Side of Sizzle” (okay…you caught us, that’s our tagline). A little about us… We both have kindle’s full of one-clickable books. We’re both married to husbands who drive us to drink. We’re both chauffeurs to our kids. Most of all, we love hot heroes and quirky heroines that make us laugh, and we hope you do, too.

 

My Review…

White Collar Brothers

I am sooo enjoying this new series by Piper Rayne. You get the humor and the heat that we love from their previous stories, but with this series you get more edginess.  You get more gasp, more “Holy Crow” moments!

This is Carmelo and Bella’s story.  True opposites attract.

Carm is the consummate playboy, he is funny, he is swoony and he has the cavalier attitude about women that you just want to shake him!  Then hug him of course!

Oh Ms. Bella, her back story, which remains a mystery until the dynamic duo wants you to read it, is going to absolutely wreck you.  And the way that Carmelo handles this discovery is amazing and made me fall in love with him even harder.

I loved the quick cameo’s of the cousins (The Blue Collar Brothers), it was fun to catch up and see how they are.

Readers, do yourself a favor and get this series! It’s a prime example of the writing talent of Piper Rayne. They truly show their range in this series!

My Review…

I have been a fan of Sloane for quite a while. So to see a new story from him, we’ll sign me up!

Savage Beast is the introduction to a new and really gripping series. You get to meet the main character Max Savage and get a small glimpse on what makes him tick, he has a very mysterious background that Mr. Howell teases us with and I can’t wait to find out more about him!

This is a really different type of story you’d expect from Mr. Howell. I was excited and a bit scared about what I was in for. I’ll admit I was skeptical about my reaction to this type of story, but Mr. Howell hasn’t failed me yet and he didn’t this time either!

This story was amazing! I had a hard time putting it down! This is a phenomenal blend of action, suspense, mystery, a bit of romance and in true Sloane Howell style, the snarky humor that his fans love!

Do yourself a favor and get your hands on this story!

Amazon UNIVERSAL: mybook.to/TheFallOfTroy

 

 

Blurb:
Love is honorable but selfish. Love is a record of my wrongs.
Love had fractured in trials but held on for the truth.

And the truth was he’d hurt me, yet I loved him.
He’d left me, yet I followed him.

But I was done with Léo Baudin.
And as soon as the semester was over, I would be done with Paris.

But until then, I would learn the rest of his secrets.
The ones they whispered about behind his back. The ones that had the entire city watching his every move. The ones that held him hostage.

But to know his secrets meant to know him. And to know him was to fall further for the man who’d already hurt me so much.

I hated him for breaking my heart, but I should’ve learned by now that the things we loathe become the things we love.

And just when I thought there was nothing left to keep us apart, the ghosts of his past came back to life with a truth neither of us could’ve expected.

And lies that neither of us could’ve imagined.

As each layer unraveled, the choice between power and wisdom and love grew greater. And the consequences of our decision would be the judgment of this city.

But when all else fails, love always hopes.
Against all odds, love always perseveres.

The Judgment of Paris is the second book in the Odyssey Duet.

 

 

Excerpt:
“So, you don’t want this?” he pushed, his hand now gently cupping me. He was watching it—watching it squeeze the soft flesh and thumb over my nipple. He watched it like his hand didn’t belong to him, like after this moment he’d cut it from his body for betraying him. “You don’t want me to fuck you on this desk right now?”

“No,” I insisted, even as I pushed against his palm.

“Menteuse. I bet your little body has been begging for me. I bet that pussy of yours is soaked and clenching, desperate to be stretched and ripped by my cock. I bet your body wants to swallow me whole, right now.”

“I bet yours wants the same,” I shot back breathlessly. It was as close to admitting to it as I was going to get.

His thumb grazed along the edge of my tank, tracing the soft skin of my chest like he was teetering on a precipice of what was going to happen right now.

I wanted him to choose me.

I wanted him to need me.

But he never did.

“I don’t need your body, Miss Milanovic.” His hand dropped to the desk between us and his face drifted farther from mine. “If I did, I wouldn’t have left.”

I shriveled up and died. Right there. In the middle of the classroom, in the middle of Paris, and in the middle of everything that my life could have been.

My Review…

The Odyssey Duet Book 2

What would you do for true love? That question is answered in a beautiful, loathsome, tragic and epic way with The Judgement of Paris.

This is the continuing story of Troy and Léo.  It starts months after The Fall of Troy left us hanging.

The love and loathing between Troy and Léo is epic.  The angst in this novel brought me to tears, multiple times.  There is a scene in the Chappelle that was absolutely magical and has got to be one of the best romantic scenes I have ever read!

This story is brings you on a journey, of love and loss.  Pain and redemption. It’s gonna take your heart, put it in a blender set on frappe.  Then Dr. Sharp is going to put the pieces of your heart back together in a way that you can’t imagine.

Dr. Sharp creates a beautiful visual with her words, I could “see” myself in Paris, walking along with the characters.

Léo continues with his beastly attitude, which makes him even more worthy of Troy’s love.  Troy’s strength throughout this story is a testament to her maturity despite her age.

You are going to fall hard for this duet!! Get your hands on it! Wrap yourself in this epic story!

Book Description

“Tell me a secret,” I ask.

“I’m falling for you.”

Austin Sexton is a bad-boy media mogul and heir to the Sexton Empire. On the outside, he’s a whiskey-slinging bachelor with the world on a string. Problem is, strings break easily.

Deep within lies a war hero who refuses accolades. He buries his pain with his vices, and against my better judgment, I’ve become one of them.
