Some universal truths refuse to be ignored.

Peanut butter and jelly are a match made in heaven. Spaghetti and meatballs are best friends forever. And guys like Tyler Knight don’t go for girls like Cam Emerson.

She knew from the second she met him that he didn’t belong on her bookshelf, the six-foot-six ex-tight end with a face so all-American, it could have sold apple pie. So she shelved him next to the supermodels and rock stars and took her place on her own shelf — the one with the flannel-clad, pasty-faced comic book nerds. Most of her boyfriends have existed between the pages of books, but rather than worrying over her own lacking love life, she puts all her energy into playing Cupid, using her job at the book bar, Wasted Words, as her stomping ground.

Tyler Knight always looks on the bright side. His career-ending injury turned into a job as a sports agent. A horrible breakup led him to Cam, his quirky, smart roommate who is far more beautiful than she realizes. She’s made it perfectly clear she’s not interested in him — not like that at least — but if she ever changes her mind, he won’t hesitate. Because he doesn’t see the lines she’s drawn between them, as much as she insists that they’re there. Deep down he knows that despite their differences, they’re a match well made.

*A standalone romantic comedy inspired by Jane Austen’s Emma*

Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life — a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can’t forget that. She’s also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She’s been a wife, though she’s certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She’s also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she’s been drinking whiskey. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.

BLURB

Drew

I hate the lies you tell.

For as long as I can remember, everything in my world has been fake. The happy nuclear family. The loving parents. The close father-son relationship. The respectable family business. All lies. I’ve had it with the pretense and the show, but I’m been trapped on a dizzying merry-go-round of deception, and I can’t get off. 

So when she’s thrown unexpectedly into my path, and I discover she’s just another fake, I need to make her pay. Little do I know, the deceit runs deeper than I imagined, and nothing is as it seems.

Kik

I tell the lies I hate.

I hate the lies and the pretense, but if I ‘m going to achieve what I want in life, they’re a necessary evil. Truth is, I’ve mostly made peace with the idea. What I’m doing is a means to an end, and the end definitely justifies the means. Besides, it’s not forever—nothing ever is.

Everybody has to do what they have to do, right? I can live with that. Kinda. Sorta. Maybe. At least I can until he comes bursting into my life, and is determined to tear down everything I’ve worked so hard to build.

EXCERPT 

 

When Drew emerged from the shower my breath hitched at the sight of him. Even beaten, battered and bruised, he was beautiful. His hair was still wet, slicked back away from his face, revealing the deep gash above his eyebrow in all its glory. He was going to have a scar there whether he had stitches or not, but I figured it would be worse if he let it heal without getting it seen to. Stupidly, I couldn’t help but think that the scar would probably suit him.

The fact was, the whole beat-up vibe was really doing it for me. Not only that, but it totally suited what I knew of his personality. For someone with a mean, controlling streak as wide as his, the beefcake, preppy look he normally rocked was kind of false advertising. The world should probably be forewarned that below the cool, calm and buttoned-down exterior, a wild animal lurked just below the surface.

Case in point, if the sorry state of his knuckles—bloodied and bloated—was anything to go by, however badly off he was, the other person went away looking at least as bad, if not worse. They definitely weren’t defensive wounds.

I tried not look below the waistband of his gray sweats as he headed toward me, but it was like trying not to lick my lips while eating a sugar donut—the more I told myself not to, the more I was compelled to do exactly that. Not wanting to overtly leer at him, I quickly skirted past the obvious, and brought my eyeline down to his bare feet as he crossed the room. Big mistake. Big. Huge.

There was something so intimate about him padding about like that, it had me freaked me out. What the fuck was I doing cozying up and playing nursemaid to a guy I hated for twenty-three and a half hours a day, but who knew exactly how to make me love him for the other thirty minutes?

AUTHOR BIO 

 

MV ELLIS knows what it’s like to fall head over heels in love with a badass musician. She followed her heart halfway around the world to be with one. She moved from London to Sydney after a steamy holiday romance with a sexy bass player in sultry Brazil.

Twelve years, two children and a dog later, and she’s still smitten. All this with a guy she sat next to on a bus for 36 hours! She has toured internationally as a “WAG,” and her experiences inspire her writing.

Ellis’s love of romance began when she was 11 years old, after a summer spent secretly reading her auntie’s books. She’s been a sucker for an alpha hero and strong heroine ever since.

An avid reader, Ellis always knew she’d write a book of her own one day. She was right about that. Following a career spanning advertising, marketing, and social media, she finally wrote her debut novel, Catching London in 2017.

My Review…

Boys of Trinity Hall Book 2

This series is taking the whole bully trope and smacking it upside the head! I am absolutely floored and in awe of Ms. Ellis’ new story in this series!

This is the story of Drew and Kik.

First off I applaud Ms. Ellis for making Kik the gal that she is, she is strong, fierce and a tomboy to the extreme and makes no bones about it!  She is comfortable in the way she is and makes no apologies for it.  She is loyal to those she loves to the extreme and will do anything and everything to make sure their needs are met.

Drew…woo wee! This hero is definitely one you will absolutely love to hate!  He is an alpha-hole to the extreme and will stop at nothing to take Kik down.  But then throughout the story, you see him change into the man you know he can be.  He is worthy and even when he’s acting ugly, you can see glimpses of his redeemability.

I have admired Ms. Ellis’ stories since the beginning and she has yet to change my way of thinking and admiring her! In fact, in every new book she puts out, I can almost feel the confidence building in her writing.  So well done!!

I can’t wait to see the next book in this series! Who’s it going to be??

Fashion Jungle by Kathy Ireland and Rachel Van Dyken

Release Date: January 28, 2020

Cover of FashionJungle_eBook_HighRes.jpg

Fashion Jungle, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by Iconic Supermodel, now Global Business Mogul, Kathy Ireland and #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Rachel Van Dyken.

Four women… Four very different paths. One incredibly cutthroat world.

Welcome to the Jungle.

As America’s sweetheart, Brittany is perceived as the “good girl.” The sort to bring her Bible to a photoshoot… only to garner the attention of a most unlikely suitor. Until one mistake irrevocably changes both of their lives forever. Fortunately, both now and then, Brittany has wonderful support systems, including her tribe.

The leader of the tribe and a model who’s fought every battle and obstacle in the industry, Zoe, knows her worth. Until a sex tape scandal rocks her world. She sees no choice but to put her trust in the one man she shouldn’t, to make it all go away and help her succeed. Unfortunately, not only is he mired in New York’s underbelly, he wants repayment… with interest. Namely, her hand in marriage.

Despite her seemingly perfect life, Everlee has problems of her own. Not only has her world-renowned photographer husband been cheating, but it’s actually much worse than that. The things surrounding what he’s done are so dark and dangerous, Everlee’s life may actually be in jeopardy.

And then there’s Danica, cold, dead in the ground Danica. Some secrets stay hidden while others are just waiting to be discovered- hers has the power to alter the industry forever.

In the world of the Fashion Jungle, it’s easily eat or be eaten… but, if you make it out alive, you just might have a story to tell – though it will likely be one of secrets, lies, deceit, and loss.

Strap on your stilettos, it’s about to get wild.

Based on true stories.

Blog Tour Teaser.jpg

Excerpt:

“I think I may come here every night.”

“Be my guest,” Dane said, looking away as if he were bored; when in reality, his heart was racing.

Frederick would crack. His shirt was open now, his eyes closed. The habit would continue as it always did. Wouldn’t it?

He would self-destruct.

All men eventually did when it came to Dane.

The ones who didn’t, well… they weren’t alive to say otherwise, now, were they?

“Have fun.” Dane stood, patted Frederick on the back, and shared a knowing look with the woman currently straddling the man’s lap. “Make it worth his while but remember our rules.”

Dane shoved the guilt aside as he walked off.

The guilt of what this would do to Everlee.

Then again, Everlee didn’t know what he did.

She didn’t know the secrets Frederick kept.

That he wasn’t who she thought he was.

Then again, nobody really did.

Only Dane.

Because he’d collected everything he could on Frederick for a year and was less than impressed by the sort of man he was.

“Interesting club,” Ronan said once Dane reached the bar. He was flanked by two bodyguards.

“They aren’t necessary,” Dane said in an unemotional voice, pointing to the security. “No weapons allowed, no fighting, only pleasure.”

“And yet, here you are, talking to me.” Ronan leveled him with a glare. “What do you want, Dane?”

“Is that how you speak to an old friend?”

Ronan let out a snort. “We’ve never been friends. We’ve only tolerated each other because of the girls.”

The girls.

It was how they all referred to Brittany, Everlee, Zoe and Danica. Pain sliced through Dane’s heart, he couldn’t even say her name in his head without feeling it everywhere, all the way down to the marrow.

Shake it off.

They were women now.

Women with secrets.

Insecurities.

Girls who’d grown up too fast.

Females who were still fighting their way through the jungle of New York, barefoot and bleeding with fake smiles and deadly secrets.

“I need you to keep him in jail,” Dane said under his breath. “They say he’s getting out on good behavior.”

Ronan muttered a curse. “Let me guess, you want me to go have a golf game with the DA?”

“If you think that would help.” Dane tilted his head and narrowed his eyes on the politician, the man he used to trust as much as everyone else before Dane’s world came crumbling down around him by way of his sister’s death. “Then, yes.”

“Fine. This makes us even.” Ronan tried to walk off, but Dane grabbed him by the elbow and held him there, whispering in a low voice, “I will never be done with you… tell the former first lady hello. I loved what she was wearing while shopping on Fifth Avenue yesterday, the white made her look so innocent.”

Ronan let out a filthy curse and walked off.

And Dane?

Dane stared out across the club as a feeling of calmness washed over him. Chess pieces had been moved.

Now.

Now, he would wait.

My name is Jude Harris and I’m an adrenaline junkie. 
 
If it makes my heart pound and my blood rush, I’m all in. 
 
That’s how I ended up at the sex club. 
It was supposed to be one night of fun.

 

No names.

No professions.
No small talk.
Perfect anonymity.
One hundred percent no strings attached.
I thought I could handle the rules, but that was before I saw her.
I should’ve walked and forgotten the whole thing. 
 
Coulda, shoulda, woulda… didn’t. 
 

 

She told me not to get attached, but I did it anyway. 
 
If I thought our first sexual encounter changed my life, the second one rearranged my future.

Dear Letter Girl, I need to see you. When can we meet?
Her response never came. My secret pen pal with a dirty mind has ghosted me. I’ve roped Jules, my sweet as pie next door neighbor, to help me track her down.
There’s only one problem—I’m falling for her. The tortoise shell glasses, out of this world curves and delicious treats are making the search for The Letter Girl even harder.
My notes were supposed to be a one time thing. A little too much wine and naughty thoughts on a winter’s night. I never thought Berk would write back. I wanted to tell him it was me, but the fear of rejection kept my lips sealed.
Now he’s enlisted my help to track down The Letter Girl and our search has him hot on my, ahem, her trail.
She’s the girl next door.
He’s my secret pen pal.
Truth is on a collision course with their hearts and it’s only a matter of time before one of them gets wrecked…

Release Tour TTBT review

Gahhh!!  I can’t tell you how desperately I was waiting for Berk and Jules’ story!

The letters, the feelings of unrequited love! Oh how I swooned hard for this story!

Jules is a character I could fully empathize with.  We all have our insecurities and our vulnerabilities and unfortunately, Jules’ self-esteem had been so beaten down by her own family it was amazing to see the strides she made throughout the story to become the brave, strong woman she could be.  She fell in love with herself as hard as she fell in love with Berk. And to me, that is the most powerful and fragile love of all, the love of self.

Berk his back story was absolutely heartbreaking.  His naiveté of how he saw people made me want to shake him a bit.  But when the blinders came off and he saw the world how he should have, he came through brilliantly.  His love for Jules was amazing, I loved how he wasn’t afraid to tell her, as many times as she needed to hear it, what she meant to him.

This series has been absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to see what Ms. Hughes comes out with next!

“Will you help me remember?”

That’s the second thing I ask the stranger hovering just outside of my hospital room. To me, Decker Fredric is another nameless face in the crowd. To him, I’m a forgotten girl he hasn’t seen in years. But he agrees to be my crutch through the fog as if we were once friends.

Everything is a blank canvas spreading far and wide in front of me. Any direction I take, my steps stumble over the unknown. Decker becomes the only reliable constant in my life. I lean on him too hard, but he doesn’t seem to mind. His unwavering patience and guidance restore some semblance of normal I don’t recall having.

My attraction to Decker is instant, but he appears indifferent. Until the day his stare holds a bit too much heat. In return, I dare to let my touch linger. Our hugs cling tighter than a simple embrace should. But we have no business defying the distinct line cutting between us.

Decker Fredric was never mine to keep. But that doesn’t stop me from wanting him to be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Excerpt:

The sole of my boot catches on the linoleum and releases a loud squeak. I cringe and freeze in place. The woman snaps upright and faces me. Everything around us tunnels until she’s all that remains. No fucking way.

An eerie tremor ripples down my limbs, and I almost drop the bouquet. I blink, rubbing my eyes for good measure. She’s still sitting there.

Hot damn. Delaney Wallace is back in Silo Springs. The years have been very good to her. Most of her body is hidden underneath a hospital gown, but that’s not what I’m gawking at. A silky cascade of red waves frame her porcelain face. There’s a small smattering of freckles dotting her button nose. Pink splotches decorate her skin, revealing a roadmap of misery, but rather than grief-stricken, Delaney appears cleansed. I’ve heard a good cry can be cathartic.

Mile-long lashes flutter at me, concealing those stunning baby blues from view. Delaney was the beauty queen without a crown, the girl with brains to spare. Varsity athlete. Way out of my league. That didn’t stop me from lusting after her. I was a cocky little shit, but she never fell for my crap. Like I said, smart girl.

But now? She’s staring at me with zero recognition. This girl from my not-that-distant past eyes me with the scrutiny of a detective. The expression on her face makes me believe she’s actually peering through me. Doesn’t she recognize me? It hasn’t been that long. I lift a hand to the thick beard covering my jaw. The facial hair is new since high school. It’s possible she doesn’t know who I am.

Our silent stare down continues. Maybe I look like a different guy. I’m the one to break, cracking under the intensity of her piercing gaze. “Dell?”

Her forehead dents with a deep furrow. I can almost hear the cogs in her mind working overtime. After a few tense moments, she appears to shake herself out of the stupor. Her gaze slides down my body with a slow assessment before lifting to retrace the same path.

I clear the gravel from my throat and try again. “Do you remember me, Dell?”

previously lost has finally been restored
.
Every other university wants to beat them.
Every chick who crosses their paths wants to claim them.
 
Adrian Stratton, the team’s left winger, is ready to enjoy another flawless year on campus, when his ex-girlfriend unexpectedly transfers to his beloved school, threatening to ruin his highly respected reputation. Easiest way to prove he’s moved on is to show off his new girlfriend.
 
The fake one he immediately pretends to have.

My Review…

Hockey Gods Series Book 2

Well this new to me author has got me hooked!

I can honestly say that this can be read as a standalone, because I haven’t read the first book in the series, but I will be rectifying that soon!

This story is a fun twist on the Pygmalion story of so long ago, with a new edgier theme.

This is Adrian and Tatum’s story.

I could really empathize with Tatum’s story, how she felt the need to hide from everyone and found comfort in numbers.  Numbers don’t lie, people do.  This is the statement that has carried through the years until a crazy opportunity comes at her fast.

Adrian, oh how I love this hero! I too felt empathy for him.  The struggle to keep the shiny facade of his public face.  The inner torment of his struggles with what he really wanted versus what was forced upon him to want.

The lines blur between Tatum and Adrian and it was a wild ride to read! The chemistry was fantastic and the dialogue between all the characters was witty, fresh and sometimes oh so swoony!

I can’t wait to read the next books in this series to see how the other mighty hockey gods are going to fall!

He’s a rich, controlling, handsome ex-movie star with one dream left in his cold, godforsaken heart.

He wants a baby, and he wants me to be his surrogate.

I thought he was just a weirdly good-looking, grumpy hobo until he took me to his freakin’ castle and made me an indecent proposal.

The contract doesn’t actually look too bad.

All I have to do is hang out for nine months getting pedicures and massages while gestating his child.

I’ll even have a chef.

And I need the money.

My profession, making gory practical effects for horror and sci-fi movies, isn’t exactly a growth industry.

Since my family is on the verge of bankruptcy and I just got fired and blacklisted for kicking a spectacularly creepy B-list actor in the nuts for groping me, this could solve all my problems.

But the castle ends up being a gilded cage, with Connor controlling what I can eat, where I can go, and what I can do.

He’s driving me up the wall with his growling, snarly crap.

Between pregnancy hormones, Connor pushing me to the limits of my patience, and the fact that he’s absurdly hot under the mountain man beard, frustrations are rising quickly.

The angry kind. And the sexy kind.

I’m beginning to suspect that a good man might be lurking under Connor’s permanent scowl, but I know getting entangled with him is a terrible idea.

He’s got demons and secrets, and I’m… what exactly?

I’m the girl with crooked pigtails and paint splattered overalls who makes badass blood geysers and werewolf puppets.

I deal in fake monsters. Not real ones.

I’m not the right girl for Connor Prince.

Which is really unfortunate because I might be falling in love with him…

My Review…

Another new to me author and now another author to fangirl over!

I enjoyed Ms. Holloway’s twist the beloved fairy tale Beauty and the Beast.

This the story of the beastly Connor and the lovely Isabelle.

Isabelle isn’t just a beauty, she is fierce and stubborn and oh so loyal to her family.  When faced with a life-altering decision, she pushes until she gets what she wants.  And then she gets even more!

Connor thinks he is a beast, but really he is just a falsely accused hero.  He just wants to keep what he loves close and block out the rest of the world that has turned it’s back on him.

The chemistry between Connor and Isabelle is off the charts hot and the dialogue between the two of them is funny, fresh and swoony!

I loved the secondary characters! I loved trying to figure out how they fit in the original fairy tale.

I was excited and honored to be able to read this story and I can’t wait for the next stories in this series next!

“Easton doesn’t disappoint! Five WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE stars!”

—K. Webster, USA Today Bestselling Author

Dying for Rain, the highly anticipated conclusion to The Rain Trilogy from BB Easton, is out now!

Door leading to a burning city

What could be worse than knowing the exact day the world is going to end?

Waking up to find out that it didn’t.

The post-April 23 world is a lawless, senseless, ruthless place, but it’s not loveless. At least, not for Rain and Wes.

But when the government begins holding daily televised executions as a demonstration of their power, that love is put to the ultimate test:

Sacrifice one life to save the many?

Or sacrifice many to save the one?

About BB Easton

BB Easton lives in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, with her long-suffering husband, Ken, and two adorable children. She recently quit her job as a school psychologist to write books about her punk rock past and deviant sexual history full-time. Ken is suuuper excited about that.

Praying for Rain is BB’s first full-length work of fiction. The idea, fittingly, came to her in a dream.

If that sounds like the kind of person you want to go around being friends with, then by all means, feel free to drop her a line. You can find her procrastinating at all of the following places:

My Review…

The Rain Trilogy

Oh my me!! This final book in the Rain Trilogy is just perfection wrapped in a red dress and lipstick!

The adrenaline is spiking and your heart rate is going to beat out of control as you go through the pages!

The true meaning of love, loss, and above all else hope are the center point of this final installment.

The world that Ms. Easton has created in this trilogy is nothing short of epic.  There is a magic to her words and the way she is able to pull the reader into the gritty world of Franklin Springs and an apocalyptic Atlanta is nothing short of miraculous! I could “see” the city burning, I could feel the angst and fear that Rain felt when she was separated from Wes.  I found myself cheering and jeering and hoping for the happily ever after that Wes and Rain have richly deserved.

If you are looking for a gritty, swoony and heartwrenching read, look no further than this phenomenal trilogy!  What a finale! What an ending!  Bravo Ms. Easton, bravo!

Wild for You

By Kendall Ryan

Release Day: April 20, 2020

About the Book

 

He’s growly. Grumpy. Stubborn.

And now, my new roommate.

Walking away from my disastrous last relationship was an easy decision, but moving in with a friend-of-a-friend hockey star who’s rarely home? Not quite as simple, because Grant makes me feel things even I don’t understand.

One thing’s for certain, though. I definitely shouldn’t have crawled into his bed that night.

 

♥♥♥

There’s a brightness to her eyes I can’t seem to look away from.

She’s beautiful. Smart. Tempting.

And a little fragile.

I’ve never been anyone’s knight in shining armor, but when Ana needed a place to stay, it was easy to move her in with me.

Not so simple, though, is keeping my hands—or my mouth—to myself. And the night she crawls into my bed and shares her body with me has me conjuring up all kinds of ideas about our future.

Until a big surprise I never saw coming changes everything.

If you like sexy, confident men who know how to handle a stick (on and off the ice), and smart women who are strong enough to keep all those big egos in check, this series of athlete romances is perfect for you!
