My Review…

I absolutely have loved the Baileys from the get go!  And to read this bittersweet novella, with the multiple POV’s, was just the cherry on top of Great-grandma Dori’s birthday cake!

To read each chapter was a lovely glimpse into the future of this family and Lake Starlight.  So many openings for more stories. A lovely, but too brief introduction to the Greene family.

This novella was too short but was wonderfully done!  As are all of the novellas that this dynamic duo!  

Do yourself a favor and read this whole series! You will thank me for it!

I will always love the Bailey family, and I know I will fall in love with the next book that Piper Rayne puts out next!

“H. Hunting delivers what must be the most beautifully written, and certainly emotional New Adult books of the year.”
– LJ Shen, USA Today bestselling author

From New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting writing as H. Hunting, comes a beautifully written and emotional new adult romance, Little Lies, available now!

I don’t want you.
You mean nothing to me.
I never loved you.
I turned my words into swords.
And I cut her down.
Shoved the blade in and watched her fall.
I said I’d never hurt her, and I did.
Years later, I’m faced with all the little lies, the untruths, the false realities, the damage I inflicted, when all I wanted was to indulge my obsession.
Lavender Waters is the princess in the tower. Even her name is the thing fairy tales are made of.
I used to be the one who saved her.
Over and over again.
But I don’t want to save her anymore.
I just want to pretend the lies are still the truth.

My Review…

What a welcome back to the world of Pucked and All In!  The next generation of characters in a wonderful world that Ms. Hunting has created!

This is Lavender and Kodiak’s story. This not a hearts and flowers story, this is a story full of heart-wrenching moments and the fight to keep the people you love safe and whole.

Lavender has grown up and even though she still has some issues from her past that she continues to work on, she has grown into an amazing young woman with hopes and dreams and even when her family tries to smother her in love and protection, she fights her way to be free and independent.  I applaud and empathize with her fight.  She reminds me of someone very close to me and Ms. Hunting created her realistically and beautifully.

Kodiak has fought and continues to fight his own demons.  He has grown up with Lavender and they form a bond that is scary in its intensity. He only wants what is best for her and he feels he is not what is best.

This story is going to grab your heart from the get-go and not let you go until Ms. Hunting is good and ready to do so. 

I loved that past characters make appearances, but doesn’t distract us from the main theme of the story.  

This is a fabulous introduction to a new generation of characters and I hope that we get to see more of them in future stories!

BLURB:

“Did you have relations with my brother . . .”

Good question.

I’d like to preface this by saying it was never my intention to ever get involved in a workplace romance, let alone get involved with the most surly, agitating, and pompous man I’ve ever met who just so happens to be my new friend’s brother.

My intentions were to show students how English and reading books could actually be fun and make a new life for myself in the suburbs of Chicago.

But so far, I’ve managed to be called into the principal’s office.

Coerced into participating in the teacher’s badminton league.

And instigated into passionate fights with Arlo Turner over education and decorum while losing my underwear at the same time.

Known as Mr. Turns Me On, he’s the reason I might get fired from my first ever teaching job.

SeeMeAfterClass_teaser-4

PROLOGUE:

**GREER**

“Before we get started, I’ve been told I need to ask you a question.” Stella sits cross-legged in front of me, a nervous look on her face, water in hand.

“Oh?” I ask, trying to act casual as I bring my glass of red wine to my lips. I have a scary inkling what this might be about.

She glances over at Coraline and winces. “Uh, I feel weird asking.”

Oh God . . . I was right.

Shifting, I say, “You know, we don’t have to—”

“Then why bring it up if you’re not going to propose your query?” Keiko asks impatiently while pushing her green-rimmed glasses up on her nose. “You know the frequency of these meetings is dependent upon staying within the comprehensive itinerary I composed during my lunchbreak.”

“Cool your bloomers, Keeks,” Coraline says while taking a large sip from her wine glass. “I want to know what’s making Stella so fidgety.”

The four founding members of the Ladies in Heat Book Club—aka my mismatched collection of friends—each bring diverse and unique character traits to our group.

Keiko “Keeks” Seymour—resident AP chemistry teacher at Forest Heights High School. Her social etiquette is lacking, her intelligence is off the charts, and she’d rather play with beakers than penises. She wasn’t thrilled about the book club name and made a noble attempt to explain why her suggestion, the Austen Empowerment Collaborative, was far more credible. Majority ruled, she lost.

Stella Garcia—Spanish teacher at Forest Heights and my co-coach. Currently single, makes the best tamales I’ve ever had, and is one stamp away from getting a free donut at Frankie Donuts. Can be shy at times, but when it comes to her family and friends, she doesn’t take shit from anyone. Loyal to the core, one of the reasons I adore her.

Coraline “Cora” Turner—recent divorcée and living with her brother, Arlo. Jobless at the moment and couldn’t care less about it since both she and Arlo have enough inheritance to last them a lifetime. Often annoyed by her older brother or annoying him, doesn’t partake in Twitter—says it’s a filthy pool of opinions, and is the first to offer up a bottle of wine.

Then there’s me . . .

Greer Gibson—twenty-four-year-old fresh to the teaching scene as Forest Heights’s new English teacher and women’s volleyball coach. I love running, have a penchant for a man in a cardigan, and can get a little noisy in the classroom while teaching. I currently share a classroom wall with Arlo Turner, Forest Heights most prestigious English teacher, and might have lost my underwear—

“Out with it, Stella,” Cora says, snapping at her.

“Please, so we can proceed,” Keeks says, straightening her notepad on her lap.

Stella looks me in the eyes and says, “Brock wants to know if there’s anything going on between you and Turner. Apparently, Turner won’t say a thing, but Brock thinks there’s some strong sexual tension building.”

Cora whips her head to me, her eyes wide. “Are you getting it on with my brother?”

Finger pointed in the air, Keeks leans in and says, “The proper term amongst company would be coitus.”
Rolling her eyes, Cora asks, “Did you have coitus with my brother?”

“You could also say intercourse if that amuses your jargon more,” Keeks adds. “Or copulating would be sufficient. But if you are inclined toward romantic terminology, since we are in the presence of the book club, you could say lovemaking or performing intimate acts. Although, given the circumstances of when coitus took place—in the work environment—I would deduce that your actions were performed carnally rather than with the interest of developing a devoted accord.”

“Good God, Keeks,” Cora says, irritated. “Who cares what it’s called? We just want to know if it happened.” Cora looks me in the eyes. “Did it?”

Did it . . .

Good question.

I’d like to preface this by saying it was never my intention to ever get involved in a workplace romance when I was hired at Forest Heights, let alone get involved with the most surly, agitating, and pompous man I’ve ever met.

My intentions were to show students how English and reading books could actually be fun, bring the volleyball team to a state championship, and make a new life for myself in the suburbs of Chicago.

But so far, I’ve managed to be called into the principal’s office.

Infiltrate the teachers’ athletic league.

And had passionate fights with Arlo Turner over education, decorum, and student-teacher friendships.
Not to mention I’ve lost my panties to him in my dreams more than I care to admit.

Why did this all happen?

Simple.

The man dresses in a cardigan, that’s how.

Arlo Turner. The bane of my existence, annoyance to my sanity, and the only man who’s ever made me want to spread my legs in a classroom.

He’s torn down my metaphorical walls, strapped on a cottony cardigan—pushed up the sleeves—and has driven me to the brink of insanity, so now whenever I hear the mention of his name, my legs automatically spread, and my heartrate picks up.

Known as Mr. Turns Me On, he’s the reason my star athlete is struggling to keep her grades up.

He’s the reason I tend to avoid the teacher breakroom.

And he’s the reason I might get fired from my first ever teaching job.

My Review…

Yes, yes all the yeses! This new story by Meghan Quinn is another feather in her literary cap!

This is a book lovers’ romance! This story of Greer and Arlo is like a new take on the classic literature that I love!

Even though the hatred and disagreements, you could see something brewing between them.  A thin line between love and hate indeed!

Greer was an amazing character! She was brave, she was caring and she wasn’t willing to settle for less than what she wanted.

Arlo, well this fella I wanted to hate when I first started reading.  He was so arrogant and uptight and he clashed with Greer hard!  But when he decided to go all-in…Holy hotness, this character turned the swoons up to an eleven!

To see past characters make appearances was just the cherry on top of this swoony sundae!

The mix of heart, heat and hilarity that Ms. Quinn puts into her words is nothing short of perfection.

I believed true love lasts forever…

Our story doesn’t end with the happily ever after. For Bruce and I it was just the beginning.

Marriage, the beginning of a life of happiness.

That was what everyone saw. However, that was nothing more than a mirage. 

The reflection of the sun on the desert sand. Our story was imperfect, just as we were.

Now, I wander lost in a world I don’t know, blurred between the shadows of routine and loneliness.

Despite that, I am determined to keep going. To find what they call happiness. Playing with pieces of my heart I’d never thought I would risk.

I’m looking for who I really am, when a man I never thought I knew comes into my life, making me smile again. Helping me to believe again.

He shows me, for once, I can be myself and be happy. 

And perhaps, we can be happy together, beyond our forever.

 

 

Author, wife, and mother of a girl and a puppy. I love the happily ever after. Believer & dreamer. I live in my own world, sipping Ginger Ale and lime. I’m always plotting my next book, coloring pages, and reading.

My Review…

Full of heart-melting moments, this new story by Susana Mohel will give you all the feels.

This is a story that starts at the end and ends with a beautiful new beginning.  This is the story of what a marriage is really about.  It’s not hearts and rainbows every day, it takes work, every day to keep the fires burning.  “Acta non verba” Actions not words it the main premise of this story.

This is about the Leighton family, from the outside, it’s a picture-perfect family.  Bruce and Ilythia (love the name) are soul mates, they are each other’s worlds. That is until forces and complacency start to eat away at the solid foundation that they have built.

I could so empathize with Ilythia’s plight, to feel like she was losing herself in the roles she plays, mother, wife, but what she needs still is to feel like a woman.  A woman with a sense of purpose and goals and she felt like she lost that along the way.

Bruce is trying hard to give his wife what he feels she needs.  But it gets lost in translation.

It was a beautiful story full of poignant moments and a faith in true love and a soul mate.  Well done, Susana! I am so happy to be a part of this journey with you!

Title: Warning Track


Series: Callahan Family, Book One


Author: Carrie Aarons


Genre: Contemporary Romance, Sports Romance

Blurb-

Colleen Callahan is exactly where she’s always dreamt of being.

From a young age, she’s been groomed to take over as general manager of the Packton Pistons, her family’s professional baseball dynasty. Except she never expected her father would have to go to prison for the role to become hers.

The public, and even her own family, are counting on the first female to wear the title to fail. Hoping to wipe the slate clean and clear the club’s name, Colleen vows to put her job above everything else. Friends, a social life, her well-being, and most of all, love.

Until she meets the team’s new star player. Their chemistry is instant, igniting the stadium and her heart. But the last thing she needs is a distraction, much less a surly God of the clay diamond who seems to despise her.

Fate has other plans, though. If they’re found out, it could mean the end of both of their careers. Except hurtling so close to the danger zone has never felt more right.

Hayes Swindell would prefer hell over the place he ended up.

After a series of bribes and blackmail gone bad, the league’s most desirable veteran superstar finds himself playing on a team that he wants no part of. The family who runs this dynasty is corrupt, and he’s spent his career avoiding limelight exactly like this.

With a chip on his shoulder and the intention to hightail it out of Pennsylvania as soon as his one-year contract is up, he has no plans to fall for the very woman he should stay away from.

In his ten years in the league, he’s never once gotten bit by the love bug. But the moment he lays eyes on her, Hayes can see his days are numbered. When the forbidden happens, he has a decision to make.

Should they head for disaster together, risking it all, or course-correct and save themselves the ultimate price of heartbreak and scandal?

My Review…

The Callahan Family

What a smart, sweet, steamy story to start a new series from Carrie Aarons.

This is the introduction of the baseball dynasty that is the Callahan family.  When scandal rocks their world, Colleen Callahan has to step up to the plate and fight her way through the naysayers to prove that she is a strong woman succeeding in the male-dominated world of baseball.

Hayes Swindell, an all-star baseball player, is one of the unfortunate victims of the scandal that has rocked the Callahan family.  His anger is understandable but slightly off the mark when he first runs into Colleen, the new general manager.

Sparks fly aplenty between the two of them, first with hurt and anger, then with something more!  It was a beautiful relationship to read and I was cheering hard, hoping for their happy ending!

Their road to happiness is rocky and full of seemingly insurmountable odds, but true love is strong and sure with Colleen and Hayes.  It was heart skipping to see what they would go through to be together.

I cannot wait to see whose story is next in this new series!!

My Review…

Wow! Just wow…

This new story by Ker Dukey is amazing! Enough said!  I am definitely going to be putting this in the running for my “Best Reads of 2020”

This is a story filled with all the feelings! I was so invested in this story from the get-go and I couldn’t believe how the story played out all the way to the end.

Nature versus nurture is at the heart of the story.  Is it genetics that makes a serial killer or is it the environment that a person is embedded in? Ms. Dukey does a brilliant job of explaining it all with this story of Liz and Jack.

Liz has survived a horrible childhood, her survivors’ guilt is something that she can’t seem to shake, even after the years have passed.  I could so empathize with her and her feelings towards her Lost Boy.

Jack too has suffered immensely.  He was raised in the most horrific of circumstances and made him the man he is today.

There are twists and turns aplenty and you will be guessing and gasping your entire way through this riveting story! 

 Carian Cole has revealed the title, cover, and blurb for her
 upcoming release, Don’t Kiss the Bride!

Coming Soon!

We had one rule.
Breaking it sealed our fate forever.

My dream was simple. Graduate this spring, save up enough money to escape the house of horrors I was living in, and see the world in a cool RV with my cat, Gus. No strings.

Then I passed out and face-planted in front of sexy, brooding Jude “Lucky” Lucketti, and he rushed me to the ER. It wasn’t one of my finest moments. But it was one of his. I guess you could say I was a damsel in distress, and Jude was my knight in shining armor. He became my own personal hero, turning up in all the right places at the right times.

But in reality, I was a girl with a serious eating disorder and a lot of bad luck, and he was a hot, older construction worker with lots of muscles and tattoos.

Under his rough exterior, he was a good guy. We became friends, and it didn’t matter that he was sixteen years older than me. We had a lot in common—like our love of rock music and vintage cars, and a mutual anti-marriage stance after coming from broken homes.

So when he proposed, it wasn’t like you think. He figured if he married me and put me on his insurance plan, I could get the medical treatment I needed and couldn’t afford. He even told me I could move into the extra bedroom at his house.

I said yes.

The arrangement would be temporary. A marriage on paper and nothing else. Within a year, we’d divorce.

It should have been easy, but it wasn’t.

Because here I am, eighteen years-old, still in high school, and married to a man I was never supposed to fall in love with.

I did, though.

We had just one rule—no kissing the bride.

Little did we know, breaking that rule on our wedding day would seal our fate forever.

Text COLE to 31996 

Make Me Yours, an all-new sexy single dad rom com from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow is coming November 23rd and we have the hot hot hot cover!

He’s my brother’s best friend.

The hot single dad next door.

And one accidental sext later, my massive crush on him is no longer a secret.

It’s my own damn fault. I’m thirty years old, for heaven’s sake. I’m a kindergarten teacher and a (reasonably) responsible adult. I should know better than to get tipsy and draft a fake text listing all the dirty things I wish Officer Cole Mitchell would do to me.

I wasn’t supposed to hit send.

He wasn’t supposed to see it.

And he definitely wasn’t supposed to text back telling me to go on . . .

Because after that, things escalate quickly.

Cole is everything I’ve ever wanted. He’s sexy and protective. A devoted father to his little girl. A dedicated cop the whole town adores. The kind of guy you can trust to keep his hands to himself, even when you’re desperately hoping he won’t.

I’m not the girl he thought he’d end up with, but after all this time, I might finally get the chance to say the words I’ve always dreamed of . . . make me yours.

My Review…

The queen of dark and twisty is at it again with this gnarly retelling of the Cinderella story.

Ash is no smoldering ember, she is a fierce flame.  Fighting against her stepfamily to become what she wants.

Winston is absolutely no prince charming, he is a villain straight out of K. Webster’s playbook.  He is the king in the world he has created and commands with an iron fist. When he sees Ash, breaking all kinds of his rules, he takes her to task, hard.

Ash and Winston’s relationship is anything but “normal” but it works for them.  

Angst and thrills are aplenty in this story.  I couldn’t help but feel for Ash and the abuse she received from her family.  I applauded her “brattiness” when dealing with Winston.

This is a quick read and I had no idea it was going to end on a bit of a cliffhanger, but I can’t wait to read the next book!

BLURB

 

It’s Andrew and Amanda’s turn… in duplicate
 
We’re having twins.
 
Twins.
 
Which means my swimmers are stronger than my brother’s. I win.
 
Yeah, yeah, everyone can say it’s not a competition, but it is.
 
And we all know it.
 
Two babies at once means double the fun, and double the misery for my poor wife, Amanda. While I’m growing a Fortune 500 company, she’s growing two entire human beings out of nothing but orange cheese snacks and ice cream.
 
Do you have any idea how hard I’ve worked during this pregnancy, tracking down orange smoothies for her?
 
Not to mention being forced to Facetime into a childbirth class on perineal massage, rescuing Chuckles the cat from being shaved bald by my two-year-old niece, and fighting with a wife who has named the twins Lefty and Righty.
 
By the time we hit the ninth month, my entire world revolves around pleasing — and protecting — her. 
 
Even if it means humiliating myself in the name of love.
 
Wait a minute. Wait a minute, now.
 
Hold on.
 
Is she the one who’s winning?
 

 

Andrew and Amanda are BACK in the newest New York Times bestselling Shopping series book as they “beat” Declan and Shannon in the baby competition, but at what cost? As their future awaits them in the form of twins, Amanda and Andrew face ghosts from the past with wit, humor, and most of all — plenty of love.

EXCERPT

 

Amanda 

 

 
I open my eyes, the words running through my head before I’m fully awake. 
 
Twenty-three weeks, three days. 
 
That’s my first thought. 
 
The second is: I need to hump my husband. 
 
Some impulse centers itself between my legs, turning me into a rocking nerve ending, my entire body so horny, it’s like some gene in me got flipped and my entire purpose in life is to orgasm in a continuous loop. 
 
“Help,” I whisper to Andrew as I slide my bare thigh against his hair-covered one, his body gloriously nude, which only ratchets up my sex-crazed fever. 
 
“What’s wrong?” 
 
“I need you to let me have sex with you again.” 
 
One eye narrows, the other holding steady as I reach for him, finding him halfway to where I need him. 
 
“Excuse me?” 
 
“Can I please have sex with you again? I know we just did it–” I look at the clock, squinting to read the numbers, “–seven hours ago, but I–” 
 
The kiss answers me. 
 
“You don’t have to ask.” 
 
“Of course I do! Consent is very important.” 
 
His erection twitches in my hand, jumping slightly. 
 
“There’s my consent.” 
 
This isn’t slow sex. It’s fast and hard, the kisses hot, my legs parted and my body centered over him in seconds. The grinding need to have him touch the deep ache inside and unclench it is too furious, too intense to ignore. 
 
I’m bent over him, hips rolling up, belly hardening with each curl as I ride, ride, ride to climax. My thighs pull him in deeper, knees pressing against his tight ass, my hands on his chest, his head bobbing up to suck one breast at the perfect moment of ecstasy, making me moan into eternity. 
 
And then–snap. I’m done. 
 
I climb off and kiss his cheek. 
 
“Thank you!”

My Review…

I fell in love all over again with the cast of characters in the newest installment of the Shopping For series.

This is the grudge match between the McCormick brothers, pregnancy with twins and all the fun and fallout that comes with that and the impending fatherhood for Andrew.

This is the story full of laughs, revelations and the true meaning of family.  

Julia Kent has a magic to her words, she brings the readers into the story.  I felt really invested in the way that Amanda and Andrew navigated their way through.  I empathized with Amanda and her pregnancy.  I had a great appreciation of Andrew’s growth as a husband and father.

The swoons are real and plentiful and of course what would this series be with the hilarity of the Jacoby family barging their way through!

It was lovely to see Terry make an appearance and I so hope for his story soon!  He deserves it and a happy ending of his own!

Get your hands on this book, heck the whole series and see how easy it is to fall in love with this crazy crew too!
