Crazy for Your Love, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lexi Ryan is live!

crazy_amazon.jpg

A family wedding with a fake boyfriend, meddling parents, and an obsessive ex . . . What could go wrong?

The only thing worse than being single at my sister’s wedding is finding out that my ex will be there too. Not just any ex—the guy everyone expected me to marry, the man I came to Jackson Harbor to escape.

Now I need a date, and fast. Enter Carter Jackson—the firefighter who’s dealing with an unwanted five minutes of fame ever since a shirtless photo of him saving a puppy went viral. He’s warding off propositions left and right, and he needs a fake relationship as much as I do.

Sweet and sexy, Carter is completely off-limits. See, I have a rule. A no heartache rule. Not only is Carter my friend and a known heartbreaker, but his job as a firefighter puts him in danger daily, and that’s something I just can’t handle.

The commitment between us might be pretend, but the passion all too real. As crazy as it makes me, I have to keep Carter at an arm’s length. Even that might not be enough to spare my heart.

My Review…

Oh how I love the boys of Jackson Harbor!  Carter Jackson is no exception.

Crazy for Your Love is Carter and Teagan’s story.

They have know each other for years.  The Jackson family has taken Teagan in as an honorary member.  But for their own reasons and scars from their past has always kept Carter and Teagan in the “just friends” category.

But circumstances force the two of them to pretend to be more to each other.  Then the lines between friendship and more become fuzzy.

One of the many reasons why I fell for Carter is his humor.  His crazy nicknames for Teagan throughout the story made me chuckle.  His scars have changed him in some not so healthy ways.  Watching him struggle through his guilt was moving and made me hurt for him.

Oh Teagan, what a secret you have kept to yourself for all those years! To see her struggle was just as moving. To see her try to put on the brave face, the “I’m fine” persona was heartbreaking.

Ms. Ryan has created a beautiful world in Jackson Harbor and this story just adds more to it.  I cannot wait for Shay’s story, but I am sad that that may be the last we will see of the Jackson family.  Get this story, heck get the whole series, you will thank me!

Two sisters raised in fear are about to find out why in a chilling novel of psychological suspense from the author of The Thinnest Air.

Ignorant of civilization and cautioned against its evils, nineteen-year-old Wren and her two sisters, Sage and Evie, were raised in off-the-grid isolation in a primitive cabin in upstate New York. When the youngest grows gravely ill, their mother leaves with the child to get help from a nearby town. And they never return.

As months pass, hope vanishes. Supplies are low. Livestock are dying. A brutal winter is bearing down. Then comes the stranger. He claims to be looking for the girls’ mother, and he’s not leaving without them.

To escape, Wren and her sister must break the rule they’ve grown up with: never go beyond the forest.

Past the thicket of dread, they come upon a house on the other side of the pines. This is where Wren and Sage must confront something more chilling than the unknowable. They’ll discover what’s been hidden from them, what they’re running from, and the secrets that have left them in the dark their entire lives.

 

Minka Kent has been crafting stories since before she could scribble her name. With a love of the literary dark and twisted, Minka cut her teeth on Goosebumps and Fear Street, graduated to Stephen King as a teenager, and now counts Gillian Flynn, Chevy Stevens, and Caroline Kepnes amongst her favorite authors and biggest influences. Minka has always been curious about good people who do bad things and loves to explore what happens when larger-than-life characters are placed in fascinating situations.

In her non-writing life, Minka is a thirty-something wife and mother who equally enjoys sunny and rainy days, loves freshly cut hydrangeas, hides behind oversized sunglasses, travels to warmer climates every chance she gets, and bakes sweet treats when the mood strikes (spoiler alert: it’s often).

My Review…

This is a new to me author and this thriller is amazing!

The Stillwater Girls is a story full of intrigue, it kept me guessing until the end and what an ending it was! I actually gasped when all the truth was revealed.

This story also has hope and bravery, the girls are forced into a world they don’t know and they handle it as brave as can be expected.

The premise of this story is scary and believable! I think that is what scared me the most.  The vivid pictures that Ms. Kent writes with her words will put you right into the scene.  Her descriptions were amazing. I caught myself reading a paragraph and then stopping to let it soak in.

I loved the alternating POV’s in this story, each person’s story (I don’t want to spoil it) flows beautifully into the next.

Read this book like a fine glass of wine, slowly sip and savor the words, you don’t want to miss any clues and insights into what is going to happen next.

I really enjoyed this story! I hope to add Ms. Kent’s other novels to my TBR list.

In Light of Shadows Book 2

Oh man! This story is just getting better and better!

This is the continuing story of Clive and Eva and you get more of the goodness!

Eva is standing her ground, not letting anyone or anything shake her or her love for Clive.  I love how she is standing up to Clive too! She is in no way letting him run roughshod over her independence, but also knowing when to lean on Clive when needed.

Clive is still an amazing hero, I love how he listens to Eva and adjusts to her needs.  But standing firm on some issues.

And the intrigue in this story! At this point almost every secondary character in this book has a motive or opportunity to be “the informant”! And it’s driving me bonkers (in a good way) trying to figure out who the hell is this person!?!

You have to read the first book in this series to follow along with this story, and now I am going to dive into the final story of the series Killing Eva….gahhhh that title alone is giving me fits!!

This is a fantastic series so far and can’t wait to read how it ends!

Eleanor & Grey, an all-new beautiful and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now!

Eleanor & Grey FOR WEB.jpg

Greyson East left his mark on me.

As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near.

Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again.

When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined.

I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man.

The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain.

When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only.

He made me promise not to try to get to know him, not to recall the memories I’d treasured all this time.

But, sometimes, I saw the boy I’d once known in his stormy eyes. I saw the Greyson who smiled and laughed, who had stolen a young girl’s heart, and there was no doubt in my mind that this boy was worth fighting for.

I was given a second chance with the one who’d left his mark on me. All I hoped was that somehow I’d leave a mark on his soul, too.

My Review…

More of that…”

That’s what this story is, it is more.

Eleanor and Grey is going to take your heart and your soul. This story going to take your heart and soul and shatter them. This story is going to then take the scattered pieces of your heart and soul and heal them, change them and make them fly. This story is going to follow you for a long, long time.

You are going to need a box of tissues when you read this story, it made me cry, it made me ugly cry in all of the best ways. It also made me feel hope, that when the people you love most leave this world, they stay with you, they “stay in your heartbeats…” (more beautiful quotes are abound in this story…you will see…)

I loved that the relationship between Eleanor and Grey changed as needed. I loved the fierceness in which Grey loved Nicole (yes, you read this right….) and the fierceness that Grey loved Eleanor. I loved the understanding and unconditional love that Eleanor had for Grey and his family.

This story is about so much more than Eleanor and Grey, it’s about love and loss and putting the shattered pieces of your heart back together, it won’t be the same, it will be cracked and scarred. But it can love again, in new and glorious ways. This story is going to give you hope, I know it did for me.

Ms. Cherry, your writing amazes me, your stories are beautiful to behold and an honor to read. You create magic in your words. And if I can wish for one thing it would be “More of that, Ms. Cherry”.

We are celebrating the Cover Reveal for Piper Rayne’s hot new office romance series, Sexy Filthy Boss releasing JUNE 11th

He’s the sexy alpha male in the corner office who goes through assistants faster than free donuts in the breakroom.

I’m the assistant who was chosen to cover for his last fire.

The owner of the company is clear—hook the biggest client in our firm’s history and there’s a partnership for him and a promotion for me. Stipulation—we do it together.

It doesn’t take a tarot card-reading psychic to figure out where our story is headed… late nights, trips out of town, and more than a few awkward moments filled with sexual tension.

No worries though. I pride myself on my willpower. I can totally ignore his sexy grin, his rock-hard body and his dreamy brown eyes. I will not become the woman other women hate.

But it turns out that Enzo Mancini has a lot of layers and if I don’t stop peeling, I’m going to lose everything, including my dignity.

Title: The Perfect First

Author: Maya Hughes

Genre: New Adult Romance

Cover Design: Najla Qamber, Qamber Designs

Release Date: April 25, 2019

BLURB

“How long do you last in bed?” Those were her first words to me, swiftly followed up with, “And how big would you say you are?”

Cue the record scratching, what?!

Persephone Alexander. Math genius. Lover of blazers. The only girl I know who can make Heidi braids look sexy as hell. And she’s on a mission. Lose her virginity by the end of the semester.

I walked in on her interview session for potential candidates (who even does that?) and saw straight through her brave front. She’s got a list of Firsts to accomplish like she’s only got months to live. I’ve decided to be her guide for all her firsts except one. Someone’s got to keep her out of trouble. I have one rule, no sex. We even shook on it.

I’ll help her find the right guy for the job. Someone like her doesn’t need someone like me and my massive…baggage for her first time.

Drinking at a bar. Check.

Partying all night. Double check.

Skinny dipping. Triple check.

She’s unlike anyone I’ve ever met. The walls I’d put up around my heart are slowly crumbling with each touch that sets fire to my soul.

I’m the first to bend the rules. One electrifying kiss changes everything and suddenly I don’t want to be her first, I want to be her only. But her plan was written before I came onto the scene and now I’m determined to get her to re-write her future with me.

The Accidental Girlfriend, an all-new hilarious romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Emma Hart is coming June 25th and we have the beautiful cover for you!

THE ACCIDENTAL GIRLFRIEND - DRAFT1.jpg

Top Tip: Don’t put out an online ad offering your services as a fake date. Someone will take you up on it.

And it won’t just be for one night.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I ended up being Mason Jackson’s fake girlfriend.

He didn’t even want me to be. No—his sister was solely responsible for me being his date for his ten-year high school reunion.

Now, she’s responsible for telling his parents our relationship is real.

We have no choice. We have to act like this isn’t all a mistake, like it’s not all fake, like we’re totally, completely, utterly, head-over-heels in love with each other.

Simple, right?

Wrong.

Blurb:
Being labelled a player never stopped me from being successful with women. Until I met Truly Harbury.

Truly was the first girl who ever turned me down.

The first female friend I ever had.

And she might just be the first woman I ever fall in love with.

When an emergency means she needs my help running her family’s charity, I’m happy to introduce her to the glitz and glamour of the London business world—taking her to dinners, coaching her through speeches, zipping up the sexy evening gown I helped her pick out.

The more time we spend together, the more I want to convince her I’m not a man to avoid, that we’re not as unsuited as she believes.

She sees herself as the book-reading, science-loving introvert while I’m the dangerous, outgoing, charmer.

She thinks I love parties and people whereas she prefers pajamas and a takeaway.

What she doesn’t realize is that I like everything about her–the way her smile lights up a room, how her curves light up my imagination, and especially the way her lips taste when coated with tequila.

She’s the first woman I ever fell in love with. I just need to know if she could ever love me too.

About the Author:
USA Today bestselling author, Louise Bay writes sexy, contemporary romance novels – the kind she likes to read. Her books include the novels Faithful (not currently on sale as undergoing maintenance!), Hopeful, The Empire State Series, The Royals Series, The Nights Series (both series of standalone books each following different characters) and the standalone Gentleman series.
