Book: BEAT DOWN
Author: KC Enders
Release Date: August 30, 2022

About the Book
This band is my life and there is nothing worth screwing that up—except maybe my best friend’s sister. I spent most of my teenage years with her front and center in my mind, and that isn’t changing anytime soon.

But a huge surprise dropped on my doorstep could ruin everything.

-Ian Scott, drummer for The UnBroken

My career is my life. I have been working toward this for as long as I can remember, practicing my skills on my little brother and his friends whenever I was forced to babysit them. Only one of the boys ever seemed eager to be my guinea pig, my best friend.

He’s the one that every other guy has paled in comparison to.

-Sasha Keller, head chef at Kitchenne

Too bad these recent twists and turns in life will leave me feeling more than a little Beat Down.

The mother of two grown men, she is proud to say that they can cook, open car doors for the ladies, and clean up after themselves (you’re welcome, world). Even though her boys no longer live at home, the big dogs, full of personality, that she’s rescued have taken up any empty space.

My Review...

Wooo weee! This story was fantastic! Fast-paced like an exciting drum solo! 

This is the story of Ian, the drummer from the Unbroken, and Sasha his lifelong friend and secret crush!

Sasha is an amazing character; I loved her independence, her wit, and her amazing loyalty to her friends and family. 

Ian…wowza this fella checks all the boxes for a hero! I love the broody types with a heart of gold. I loved his inner dialogue and how he was able to stay in Sasha’s orbit.

Now let’s talk chemistry! It was wickedly hot and swoony as all get out! 

I also loved the bits of mystery, and the surprises didn’t stop coming! It kept me hooked until the very end! 

I can honestly say, as a fairly newish reader of Ms. Enders, this story can be read as a standalone, but you can be I am going to go back and read all the other stories about the members of the band!

My Review...

Whew! This story is a whirlwind of swoons, smexiness, heart, and a dash of mystery!

This is the story of Makayla and Ben. Enemies since childhood, and the definition of a thin line between love and hate.

Makayla has had a turbulent and troubled childhood and past that has molded her into the strong woman she is today. She is trying to put the past behind her and give up the ghosts of her childhood. I laughed at her inner dialogue when it came to Ben, and I admired her inner strength and perseverance over the odds against her.

Ben…Wowza what an alpha! Just the right blend of possessiveness, snark, and heart. I was enamored with his character, and I could empathize with his struggle with his relationship with his mom.

The chemistry between these two never faded over time and distance; in fact, it became even more electric. I loved their interactions and the banter!

Now you add the mystery, and it will keep you guessing! I couldn’t put this story down, and I loved the flow and the fast pace.

I’ll wait forever if I have to.

Pen Pal, an all-new riveting dark story full of twists and turns from international bestselling author J.T. Geissinger is live now!

The first letter arrived the day my husband was buried. It was postmarked from the state penitentiary, and contained a single sentence:

I’ll wait forever if I have to.

It was signed by Dante, a man I didn’t know.

Out of simple curiosity, I wrote back to ask him what exactly he was waiting for. His reply?

You.

I told the mystery man he had the wrong girl. He said he didn’t. I said we’d never met, but he said I was wrong.

We went back and forth, exchanging letters every week that grew increasingly more intimate. Then one day, the letters stopped.

When I found out why, it was already too late.

Dante was at my doorstep.
And nothing on earth could have prepared me for what happened next.

My Review...

I am still recovering from this story. I mean it, this is a story you will have to read twice; I know I am. I will not give away anything to detract future readers from this heartwrenching story of love and loss.

There is such a twist and mystery that I was so hooked; each page turned would reveal more and would find me even more invested in this story.

This story of Adian and Kayla is such a story of love, such a heartbreaking love. Now I will tell you, their chemistry is amazing, and their physical relationship is spicy with a capital s. However, their love for each other is otherworldly and defines the meaning of soul mates.

I am going to tell you to really read this story. Savor it like a fine wine. The clues to the twist and mystery are revealed throughout the story, and when you get to the end….just mindblowing. 

I have always been a huge fan of Ms. Geissinger’s story, and this story just goes above and beyond. 

I am just going to say. Read. This. Story. You won’t be disappointed. Absolutely listed as one of my best reads of 2022.

My Review...

This story is like a Jane Austin novel with a dash of 21st-century women’s lib, and I loved it!

I started my romance reader journey a long time ago with historical romance, so coming back to regency England was like curling up with a warm cup of tea and a cozy chair. And the way that Ms. Malpas describes Belmore Square was beautifully done.

This is the story of Eliza and the Duke of Chester, Johnny Winters. 

Eliza is headstrong and opinionated and doesn’t take well to living in London and Belmore Square. She longs for her humble beginnings living in the country but doesn’t fault her father for wanting to better the family. I loved her strength and her perseverance, and her inner dialogue when dealing with the moody duke was perfect.

Johnny has dealt with a horrible blow to his family, and the rumor mill has casted him in a dismal light. He lives in the shadows and darkness, with no apologies or quarter given. When he meets Eliza, he sees a bit of light in his darkness.

The push and pull of Eliza and Johnny’s relationship had me both cheering and wanting to shake some sense into them. But they come through beautifully, swoony and steamy!

I am so looking forward to the next story in this series!

About ROYALLY NOT READY:

So there I was selling bikinis out of my truck in South Beach Miami, getting ready to kick off a wet t-shirt contest when the world’s biggest grouch approached me – Keller Fitzwilliam.

The man had the sultriest British accent I’ve ever heard. And he looked like he just walked off a Viking boat and into a suit tailored specifically for his impressively muscular frame. Only problem is, he had the warmth of an ice pick and he kept telling me he was here to take me back to his home country.

Of course, I didn’t follow him. I might be up for a good time, but I’m also educated enough to know leaving with a stranger isn’t smart. Well, that’s until he mentioned my mom’s name. My mom who passed away several years ago.

So after some serious fact-checking, my bikini-clad bum went with him to a sub-arctic country I had never heard of just north of the British Isles, where I found out my grandpa was the king of said freezing country, and I was the one and only heir.

Desperate to learn more about my mom, I decided to give this princess thing a chance.

Good idea, right? Wrong.

Because Mr. Ice Pick was put to the task of training me and he’s not just cold as ice, he’s pompous, aggravating, and possessive. And did I mention we have to share a bathroom in a tiny castle?

We are oil and water every single day and even though he’s training me to be queen, I have this simmering desire to kneel before him.

My Review...

Woooo weee! Oh my, me Ms. Quinn, I was grabbing my proverbial pearls with this story!

This is a smokin hot tale between Lily and Kellan will melt your e-readers!

Lily is a riot! I love her personality, vivaciousness, and healthy view of her sexuality; she doesn’t hide what she likes and what would make most gals blush; she embraces it hard.

Kellan, his description alone had me melting, then add the alpha to his personality, and I was smitten! I admired how hard he tried to keep professional and personal roles separate. 

What I loved most about this story is the story of family, of blood and by choice. I was moved by both Lily and Kellan’s stories of loss and how that bonded them even closer together. The chemistry between these two was flaming hot, like blue flame hot! 

And who doesn’t love the royal treatment, the fantasy of a princess in a fairy tale? 

And the country that was created with this story sounds absolutely beautiful. The history, the land and the people of Torskethorpe is a land I would love to visit!

I hope we get more stories from this wonderful world that Ms. Quinn has created.

My Review...

This final chapter in the Blum sisters series is sweeter than the honey they sell.

It’s also bittersweet in the fact that this is the final story. (Or not…I am hoping to get to revisit them in the future…hint…hint…)

This is Poppy’s story; she feels like she is the one carrying the curse to its full potential now that her sisters have met their soul mates. She feels like her love was lost long ago. Until the mayoral race gets an unexpected surprise from Duke, her past love and breaker of her heart.

Duke has always set his goal for bigger and better things; his career and future were all he thought he needed and what he strived hard to achieve. When a chance to pave the way to bigger and better things, it sets him back to where he began and a love he knew he threw away.

I loved the banter, I loved the smexy times, and I love how Ms. Hart can make a person feel like they are part of the community she created in Lindenbach. It’s a true testament to Ms. Hart’s talents as an author to bring what is on the page into the reader’s mind and heart.

I cannot wait to see what comes next!

My Review...

I just love this series! I just love all the Bachelors! 

This is the story of Austin and Jenn. A case of mistaken identity and a whirlwind of swoons, steam and laughs!

I found Jenn to be adorable, and I could so see myself in some of her antics and her “cozy” way of life. I also admired how she took the reins of the job that fell into her lap and made it her own. She let her shine like the diamond she is.

Austin is trying to find a new path in life after baseball. He is worried, but when he finds his new marketing maven in Jenn he thinks all of his prayers are answered!

The chemistry between these two is electric, the inner dialogue from both Austin and Jenn is perfect and I was totally invested in both of them.

I loved seeing all the past characters in this series make their appearances and I also loved the lead-up to Seb’s story!

From USA Today bestselling author Ava Harrison comes a romantic suspense thriller with a jaw dropping twist.

 

It was supposed to be an easy article about Cain Archer.

Never did I think it would lead me straight into the arms of a serial killer.

 

When the magazine I worked for sent me to write a piece on The Elysian, and the recluse architect who created it, I didn’t know what to expect.

It certainly wasn’t him.

He was supposed to be cold and cruel, but to me, he was intoxicating. Magnetic. And impossible to quit.

 

The deeper I fell, the harder it became to ignore that inner voice, screaming that darkness followed Cain.

 

I wanted to be wrong.

Maybe it was all in my head.

But I needed to find the answers.

 

Nothing prepared me for what I discovered…

 

What if the person you took into your bed isn’t at all what he seemed? What if he’s the monster you’ve been searching for?

My Review...

Readers…read this story slowly, don’t take any of the words for granted in this new thriller by Ava Harrison!

This is the story of Layla and Cain, but not just about them, it’s so much more and I am not going to spoil it by saying anything more than that!

Ms. Harrison really flexes her writing talent in this novel! You get the swoons and the smexy, but then you get the whole thrilling, scary, mysterious elements too!

From the fierceness of Layla to the obsessive Cain, you are going to fall hard and then second guess yourself! I found myself trying to justify how the story was going and how I so wanted it to end!

From bustling NYC to the beautiful upper state of New York you get to “see” the beautiful creation that is Cain’s Elysium. I would love to live in the world that Ms. Harrison has created.

If you are looking for something that is going to keep you guessing until the very end, get your hands on this terrifyingly terrific novel!
