Rock Bottom Girl

By Lucy Score

RBG 3D book web

Blurb

“You may be faking the relationship, but you’re not faking the orgasms.”

Downsized, broke, and dumped, 38-year-old Marley sneaks home to her childhood bedroom in the town she couldn’t wait to escape twenty years ago. Not much has changed in Culpepper. The cool kids are still cool. Now they just own car dealerships and live in McMansions next door. Oh, and the whole town is still talking about that Homecoming she ruined her senior year.

Desperate for a new start, Marley accepts a temporary teaching position. Can the girl banned from all future Culpepper High Homecomings keep the losing-est girls soccer team in school history from killing each other and prevent carpal tunnel in a bunch of phone-clutching gym class students?

Maybe with the help of Jake Weston, high school bad boy turned sexy good guy. When the school rumor mill sends Marley to the principal’s office to sign an ethics contract, the tattooed track coach, dog dad, and teacher of the year becomes her new fake boyfriend and alibi—for a price. The Deal: He’ll teach her how to coach if she teaches him how to be in a relationship.

Who knew a fake boyfriend could deliver such real orgasms? But it’s all temporary. The guy. The job. The team. There’s too much history. Rock bottom can’t turn into a foundation for happily ever after. Can it?

Warning: Story also includes a meet-puke, a bouffanted nemesis, a yard swan and donkey basketball, a teenage-orchestrated makeover, and a fake relationship that gets a little too real between the sheets.

My Review…

This book!! Oh my me!! I am beating myself up for never scoring a Lucy Score book till now!

Rock Bottom Girl is everything I love in a romance!  You get smoking hot smexiness, you get a fabulous heroine and hero and above all you get laughs, genuine laugh out loud moments!  In fact I laughed out loud so much that my husband (who in no way reads) wanted me to read some parts of this story out loud and he got a good chuckle too!  That in itself is a stellar review!

This story of Marley and Jake is just uggghhh I can’t even come up with the right adjectives of how good this story is without it sounding trite and cliche!

Marley is my spirit animal! I empathize with her so much! Her high school experience is was brutal and honest.  Her life after high school and this whole story proves that life does get better after high school.  I loved reading her realization of her self worth and what she gave to her little part of the world.  Her best friend Vicky is amazing and we all need a friend like her.

Jake, oh I so enjoyed this man! I admired Ms. Score’s portrayal of him.  He didn’t fight his feelings, he didn’t downplay what he was feeling for Marley.  He embraced it and was willing to fight for what he wanted. His family was amazing, from his fabulous uncles to his mom and cousin, his family is the true meaning of the word “family”.

Ms. Score you have found another stalker…I mean fan in me! This book is definitely in the running for my “Best Reads of 2019”.  I am going to be adding all the other books in your library to my TBR list!

Title: Flirting with the Frenemy
Author: Pippa Grant
Genre: Sexy Romantic Comedy

 Release Date: March 1, 2019

Blurb

 

Mission: Survive my best friend’s wedding, where I must play nice with my ex and his perfect new girlfriend.
Strategy: Bring the hottest fake boyfriend on the planet.
Target: Grady Rock. Master Baker. Dimples. Muscles. The unicorn of fake boyfriends.
Complication: Wyatt Morgan. My brother’s best friend. My sworn enemy. Military man. Sexy as hell single dad. The man I let into my panties for one night of hot hate sex after my ex dumped me before my life fell apart. 
And the man who just scared off that perfect fake boyfriend.
By pretending to be my real boyfriend.
I can roll with this though. What’s the harm in Flirting with the Frenemy if it helps me get the job done?
Complete my mission and move on.
Or so I thought.
Until Wyatt kisses me again and I start feeling things I shouldn’t.
The thing about weddings…nothing ever goes as planned.
Flirting with the Frenemy is a rollicking fun romantic comedy featuring a single dad military man, an irritatingly attractive blast from his past, pirates, cursing parrots, and a wedding gone wild. It stands alone with no cheating or cliffhangers.

Like Dragonflies

by K Webster & Danielle James
Publication Date: March 7, 2019
Genres: Forbidden Romance

Purchase: Eden Books

I’m the good girl from Ashton Hills.
Rich. Pampered. Spoiled.
Slowly suffocating under my mother’s stifling thumb.

He’s the bad boy from Duncan.
Poor. Abused. Criminal.
Being swallowed by the darkness each passing second.

Two lost souls searching for freedom and happiness.
We’re lonely—broken—and trapped.
Until the universe brings us together.

Sometimes love is instantaneous.

A supernova collision of emotions.
Something that cannot be ignored.

As our hearts tangle to the point they’ll never be able to part, the past comes creeping up like an evil villain. The mistakes of our parents become our consequences to face.

We’re madly, deeply, foolishly in love.
Soul mates who finally found each other.
Two people who share the same father.

My Review…

I have loved and devoured all K. Webster’s books.  No matter what she writes…twisted, dark, sexy or sweet, I am reading everything by her!

So when I was lucky enough to get an ARC copy of her collaboration with Danielle James, I knew was going to go down the rabbit hole yet again! This story is a fast paced, page turner that I couldn’t put down until the very end.

These ladies do not disappoint, nor do they make the subject of the story, even though it’s taboo, ugly or over done.  To me it wasn’t the main point of the story.  It was about the love between Mars & Sage.  Two young people that find out too late what loving each other really means and rising above it, like dragonflies.

I love the analogy of dragonflies, I remember an old story that my grandmother told me that dragonflies mate for life…is it true? Who know, but I thought about my grandmother’s story and it just made me love Like Dragonflies more.

Don’t let the subject of this story detract you from reading it.  It’s a beautiful love story, it’s haunting and angsty and perfect.

Well done ladies, I hope you decide to write together again someday!

Title: Maybe Later
Author: Claudia Burgoa
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 7, 2019

 

Blurb
My personal assistant—a.k.a. half my brain—has abandoned me to have a
baby. Alright, alright, I’m not a total jerk, but the temporary virtual assistant Carla left in her place is driving me crazy.
I’ve repeatedly refused to fill out Amy Walker’s way-too-friendly questionnaire. But somehow, she ninjas me into giving up details about my private life—all while suffering her oh-so-subtle jabs at my likes, dislikes, even my system for running my business.
I don’t care what she heard, I am not a problem child.
I just know what’s tried and true.
At first, her feel-good P.S. quotes sounded more like B.S. Yet our emails and texts gradually take on a new dimension, and I find myself thinking of her as something I haven’t cultivated in a long time. A friend.
Maybe she’s right. It’s time I get a life. Starting with stepping out from behind the screen and putting my feelings on the line. I’ll never know unless I try.
Note: Contains a grumpy, workaholic tech CEO with a guarded heart, and a virtual assistant whose skills border on diabolical. Also, two cats named Ramen and Sushi.

My Review…

Yet again, I say…this is just one of the million things I love about blogging.  New to me authors!  Claudia Burgoa, who I had the honor to meet last fall, is a new to me author and I am amazed with her story!

Maybe Later is a story about two people, who have created different personas for different reasons.

What starts as a business relationship develops in to a grudging friendship and then more.

I loved the banter between the two main characters, I don’t want to name them because each “name” gives away too much.

I loved how each “name” had different characteristics of the same person.  What they wanted the world to see and what they only show to people they trust.  And for the both of them trust doesn’t come easy.

This is a slow burn, but I think their friendship builds so much more for them. It was agonizing to see how they were falling for who they thought was one person but wishing it was the other.

This sounds complex and confusing, I know, but when you read this story it will unfold beautifully and with just the right timing.

I was so happy with how this ended, it wasn’t rushed, it wasn’t pushed, it came together at just the right time!

I can’t wait to add Ms. Burgoa’s other stories onto my TBR list.  I am so glad I got the opportunity to read and review this story!

There’s only one thing harder than sharing office space with Finn Anderson: keeping my mind off him.

With his seductive Scottish accent and alluring blue eyes, one look from Finn sets my heart racing. Exchanging playful quips at office happy hours and smoldering glances through conference room doors proves that our chemistry is undeniable. Our connection, irrefutable.

He doesn’t do commitment or relationships.
Last month, I thought we were done. Over.
Turns out we’re just getting started.

Dear Diary,

I might have gotten myself into a wee bit of trouble—and I’m not talking about the “court mandated community service,” or “therapy sessions from bashing a bloke in the head” kind of trouble.

I wish it were that simple.

Nope. I’m talking about the “falling in love with one of my client’s daughters,” kind of trouble . . .
The kind of problem I can’t talk my way out of when the truth gets out.

How I ended up with her phone is a long story—and when she called to get it back, I took things a bit too far. One innocent exchange wound up leading to so much more.

Fun, new, and totally immune to my charm, Sutton is different. And I had no idea she was the daughter of Foster Green.

Blame it on the dark colored stout running through my veins, pushing me toward one bad decision after another. Pushing me toward her even though I know right from wrong; even though she’s my client’s daughter.

Dating her might be the best or worst decision I’ve ever made. Only time, whiskey, and one more roll around the mattress with her will tell.

My Review…

I knew when I read The Secret to Dating Your Best Friend’s Sister. I wanted to know more about that Irish devil Roark. And Meghan has come through yet again!

Diary of a Bad Boy is Roark & Sutton’s story and what a fun, steamy story it is.

Roark has a lot of scars from his past. His outlook on life involves whiskey, cigarettes, making money and women, in almost that order. He is dealing with the scars from his past in a none too healthy way, but it’s his normal until he is forced to change it.

Enter Sutton, a small town girl trying hard to live in the big city. Trying to expand her bubble when Roark comes and pops that bubble like it’s his mission.

This is truly a slow burn type of story and it’s wonderful! The connection and the chemistry between Roark and Sutton is ballistic and it was fresh to read the bit of role reversal in Sutton’s push to become physical. I can almost hear Roark’s accent get thicker when he gets fired up!

Roark’s diary entries are brilliant, funny, meaningful and thoughtful.

The secondary characters, like in all of Meghan’s stories are phenomenal and bring so much more!

This story is funny…I mean laugh out loud funny…wait till you read and you will see, if you aren’t laughing, something’s broke!

I am always amazed and entertained by Meghan’s stories! And even though you see past characters in this story, it can totally be read as a standalone!

Title: The Five
Author: Lily White
Genre: Dark Romance

Release Date: March 20, 2019

Twenty-two year old, Rainey Day, is the sole survivor of a grisly murder.

 

Hired to question Rainey regarding the attack, psychologist, Justin Redding, interviews her over the course of several days. What he learns tests every professional boundary he has.

 

A twisted story of sex, drugs, manipulation and murder, Rainey leads Justin down a path of promiscuity, heartache and a life unlike anything he’s known. While Rainey describes the grueling details of the events leading to her friends’ murders, she seduces him into her world, testing his patience and willpower.
Death clings to Rainey.
It’s a puzzle Justin is determined to solve.
But will Justin be able to resist Rainey’s charms while figuring out the secret of The Five?

 

“It a long story. I don’t even know where to start.”

A bead of sweat slid down her neck from her hairline to pool in the hollow of her throat. It drew the eye lower, my gaze wandering to places that were unprofessional. Flicking my eyes up, I caught her stare, she knew. Her eyes softened, her lips pulling apart on a ghost of a smile. I cleared my throat embarrassed for having been caught. 

This woman would be a handful for any man. Perhaps I’d been wrong to immediately assume she was a victim. I wondered if the detectives had the same problem, if they’d called me in because they couldn’t keep their attention from wandering to forbidden places. She blew out a puff of smoke, a small ring floating up to the ceiling above her.

“The beginning is a good place,” I prodded, my voice gritty. “How did you end up at the party? How long did you know your friends?”

She was shutting down more, her body curling over itself. Abandoning the cigarette into the cup, Rainey refused to meet my eyes. “I’m not sure they were my friends.” 

Rather than filling in the empty space, I stayed quiet, allowed her to process her thoughts. A cryptic smile curled her lips when she glanced up at me again. “The beginning was the day I moved into the neighborhood with my mom. It all started then, I think.”

“Where’s your mom now?”

“Dead,” she answered without a flicker of remorse.

“You have a lot of dead people around you, Rainey.”

“We all die, just some of us sooner than others.”

The statement was odd and I wanted to explore it. It would have to wait. For now, I was willing to take whatever she would give me. Movement caught my eye; she was touching the mark beneath her elbow again. 

Her fingers moved over it and I had a clear view of five tally marks as if she were counting something. 

Why five? What was so important she would carve the count into her skin? “Then let’s start there.”

Another smile. “I should warn you, Doc, I’m a bit of a slut. This story-“ Her eyes closed, opened. “This story doesn’t paint me in a pretty light. Not like all of the good girls I assume you’re used to dating.”

Despite the condemnation, she wasn’t upset to make the confession. It was a simple statement as a prelude to her tale.

“I’m not here to judge you, Rainey. Just tell me what happened.”

Lighting another cigarette, she drew in a deep drag, blew it out, her gaze distant as she began to talk.

 

Lily White is a romance writer who likes to dabble on the taboo side of eroticism. She is most known for her Masters Series, Target This, Wishing Well, and Asylum. In addition to dark romance Lily writes contemporary romance, taboo romance, and psychological thrillers. Lily enjoys stretching her writing muscles by continuing to challenge herself with each book she publishes.

 

 

HOSTED BY:

 

 

 

The words “For Lila, forever” adorned the front of the envelope in blue ink, the handwriting all too familiar. But it didn’t matter what it said. I didn’t have the heart to open it.

We couldn’t be together.

Not after everything …

Leaving Rose Crossing, Maine was one of the most painful moments of my life—or at least it was until the day I came face-to-face with Thayer Ainsworth again.

After a decade of searching, he’s found me, and he wants to know why I quit my housemaid job and left his family’s island estate without so much as a goodbye. But I’m bound by a devastating secret much bigger than the two of us, and telling him the truth has consequences.

Looking into the eyes of the only man I’ve ever loved, I tell him the only thing I’m allowed to: never contact me again. And when he’s gone, I sit down and finally open his letter.

Only it isn’t a letter at all.

It changes everything.

Title: Petal Plucker: A Steamy Romantic Comedy

Author: Iris Morland

Genre: Romantic comedy

Release date: April 9, 2019

 

Blurb:

The man I hate might be the first one to pluck my petals…

Confession: I, Dandelion “Dani” Wright, am twenty-six years old and have yet to be deflowered. No man has hosed my hyacinth. Fondled my freesia. Diddled my daffodil.

You get the point.

My excuse? I was too busy running my family’s flower shop and winning floral design competitions.

Suddenly that whole pesky virginity thing becomes a big deal when Jacob West walks back into my life. The boy I once loved. The same boy who humiliated me when he stood me up for prom.

This Jacob is no boy, though: he’s all man now—confident, charming, and so sexy my metaphorical blossoms are getting scorched. I can almost forget I’m supposed to hate him forever. Almost.

To make things worse, he’s my main competition now, since he took over his parents’ flower shop. If I give into this sizzling attraction between us, it could jeopardize everything I’ve worked so hard to achieve.

But if I’m not careful, he might not just be the first man to pluck my petals—he might also be the only man to capture my heart.
