House of Scarlett

 

New York Times bestselling author Meghan March continues the Legend Trilogy.

 

Gabriel Legend is unlike any other man I’ve ever met.

He came into my life like a hurricane, shattering all my assumptions and preconceived notions.

I wasn’t prepared for him. I wasn’t prepared for any of it.

But life doesn’t wait until you’re ready.

Whatever happens next, I know one thing for certain.

I will never be the same Scarlett I was before I met him.

House of Scarlett is the second book in the Legend Trilogy and should be read after The Fall of Legend, book one.

My Review…

The Legend Trilogy – Book Two

This story picks up right where book one stopped.  This story brings you back into the rich and diverse world of Gabriel and Scarlett.

The feelings and chemistry between Gabriel and Scarlett continue to grow and become even hotter.

The danger, secrets, and intrigue continue to swirl around Gabriel and Scarlett.

Scarlett is becoming stronger, bolder and is coming to terms with relationships that are worth her time and those she needs to leave behind.

Gabriel is done fighting his feelings for Scarlett and I was cheering hard for that!

I am falling hard for Scarlett’s way of embracing everything that is Gabriel and his world and how Gabriel is becoming more of the true protector that Scarlett needs.

And finally, oh my me, Ms. March the ending of this story! Oh how to leave a reader! I absolutely love it and I absolutely hate it!  So well done!

The final story in this trilogy cannot come soon enough.

Landon & Shay: Part Two, the not to be missed conclusion of the Landon and Shay duet by Brittainy C. Cherry, is available now!

Get your binge on with this must-read enemies to lovers, second chance romance!

Landon & Shay AMAZON (1).jpg

Once upon a time, I fell in love with a boy.
A beautiful, broken boy who had his own world of struggles.

People warned me against our love, but I didn’t listen.
We looked weak.
Young, foolish.
Dangerously in love.
We didn’t care.

In order to keep our hearts protected from the opinions of others, we became each other’s secret.
We shared stolen moments. Tender touches. Secretive embraces.

It was our twisted love story, and it worked for us up until our lives changed forever.
The boy I loved became Hollywood’s newest golden boy.
His career blossomed as mine stalled.
He found massive success as I discovered multiple failures.
He made something of himself, while my dreams never came true.
We moved into different realms where our pieces no longer fit together.

In the fairy tales, love conquered all.
In reality, love was the main reason empires began to fall.
I always knew Landon belonged in my story.
He was my beginning, middle, and end.
The only problem? I wasn’t certain I still belonged in his.

Excerpt:

Shay

“Oh my gosh, tell us everything.” Raine beamed as she sat across from Landon at the dining room table with her chin on her hands in amazement. “Tell me everything about being famous.”

That privacy I thought Landon and I would get?

Not going to happen with Raine living in the same place as me. She was so giddy seeing her best friend, and I couldn’t blame her. I was just as excited—even more so than her.

Landon looked so good, so grown-up.

He had facial hair that was groomed to perfection, and he smelled like sex appeal and honey. Since he’d arrived, I hadn’t allowed myself to be far from his side.

I sat in the chair next to him, and he hadn’t removed his hand from my thigh, massaging it up and down.

“I’m not famous.” Landon chuckled, giving Raine a smile. “I honestly don’t know what’s been happening to me, or why it’s been happening to me, but I feel like I’ll one day wake up and it will all be a dream.”

“You know what I hate?” Raine asked, crinkling her nose up.

“What’s that?” Landon replied.

“When really famous people claim they aren’t famous. That’s like when rich kids are like ‘Oh, I’m not rich, my parents are.’ Like, shut up, Susan. You can’t say you’re not rich while driving your Mercedes Benz wearing your Gucci shoes. That’s not how that works.”

I chuckled at my dramatic friend. “She is right, though. You are famous, Landon. The world has seen your tushy in boxer briefs. That’s the top layer of fame.”

“And what a cute little tushy-wushy it is,” Raine mocked, leaning over to pinch his cheeks. “I’m a proud big sister.”

“For the millionth time, I’m older than you, Raine,” Landon remarked.

“By age, not by maturity.” She darted her eyes back and forth between the two of us. Then her stare moved to Landon’s hand caressing my upper thigh. “Is this about to get a little PG-13? Should I leave?”

“You should probably leave,” I joked.

She nodded in agreement. “Okay, well, don’t make plans tomorrow night, Landon. We’re going to have everyone over for a reunion. Now, go do whatever it is you’re planning to do, you two lovebirds—but remember, these walls are thin, and my bedroom is right next door to Shay’s.”

I laughed. “I know, and I’m reminded of how thin the walls are every time Hank stays the night.”

She gave me a smile and a wink. “We broke the headboard the other night.”

Landon jumped in. “And I think that falls into the realm of too much information. I don’t want to think about Hank and you banging and breaking headboards. You are like a big sister to me, after all.”

Raine walked around and patted him on the back. “You’re old enough to know that your sister gets laid, Landon—at least four times a week in many different positions.”

“Raine,” Landon groaned, slapping his hand to his face. “Too much information.”

“I bet you won’t think it’s too much information when Shay breaks out some of the moves from the Kama Sutra book I gave her. Good night, kiddos.”

She hurried off, and Landon was staring at me with a highly arched eyebrow.

“What?” I asked.

“What’s this about a Kama Sutra book?” His lips curved up into a wicked grin.

I rolled my eyes. “It’s nothing. Raine is just a sex-driven girl. She said she and Hank needed to spice things up after being together so long.”

“I like spice. Spice is my favorite thing. What are some of the names of the moves in the book? What are we trying tonight?”

I felt my face heating up from the idea of it all. “None.”

He cocked an eyebrow. “Oh crap. You’ve really read this book, haven’t you?”

“What? No. Not at all.”

He smirked and pointed a finger. “You have one on the tip of your tongue. I can tell. Do share.”

“Well…” I pulled the collar of my shirt between my lips and shrugged. “There is this thing called the butterfly.”

The way his eyes smiled along with his lips made my cheeks heat even more. He rose to his feet. “Come on, let’s go. I’m going to butterfly the hell out of you.”

Manhattan, a standalone in the Becker Brothers series is a small town, country, friends-to-lovers romance coming on December 19th. The fire… the guitar… THE FEELS!

Copy of Manhattan Wrap.png

Everyone knows not to fall in love with your best friend.

But when your best friend is Michael Becker, it’s impossible not to.

He’s everything our town knows a Becker brother to be: devastatingly handsome, charming as a thief, and the icing on the cake — a sentimental musician who’s never without his guitar.

And he was mine. At least, that’s what I’d convinced myself.

Our bond was born in elementary school, strengthened by circumstance and the promise to always be there for each other, no matter what. And the best thing about my life was being friends with Michael Becker.

Until it was the worst.

I watched him fall in love with someone else, and helped patch him back up when she left him behind. But when he drops the bomb that he’s moving to New York, I realize it’s my last chance to tell him how I feel. And I ask him to make one more promise.

One summer. One list of adventures to remind him that our small town has more to offer than memories of the girl who left him behind.

One last chance to tell him I’m in love with him.

And I’m just dumb enough to believe that maybe he could love me, too.

Cover Artist: Kandi Steiner

Photographer: Lauren Perry of Perrywinkle

About Kandi:

Kandi Steiner is a bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing “emotional rollercoaster” stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance — in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you’re a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she’s your gal.

An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women’s Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.” She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a diehard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.

When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, talking with her extremely vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys live music, traveling, anything heavy in carbs, beach days, movie marathons, craft beer and sweet wine — not necessarily in that order.

Blurb:
It started with a lie. A night of blurred lines between a teacher and a student.
I wasn’t her student, yet it was the single most defining night of my life.
I’ve never been the man she thinks I am.
Most people have no idea about the life I’ve lived or the words that ring true when it comes to me—still waters run deep.
But you’d be hard-pressed to find a coed on the TGU campus who knows otherwise…because I’ve never corrected them.
The clock is ticking down, it’s Fourth and Inches with the ball inside the one-yard line and the focus is on me, The Guy on the Left. I’ve never felt like a football god, inside I’m…just Troy.
It’s time to set the record straight.
For my son, I‘ll find the strength.
In her eyes, I’m determined to gain redemption.
I will have them both, even if I have to take my eye off the ball.
*The Guy on the Left is a stand alone novel in the Underdogs Series. This is Troy’s story.

My Review…

Yes, yes, all the yeses for this story!

Kate Stewart is an absolutely phenomenal author! Just when I think she can’t top her last story she totally blows it out of the park!

This is the story of Troy and Clarissa.

We briefly meet Troy in The Guy on the Right and when I read about him, I was curious and honestly a little skeeved out about him.  He comes across as the alpha-hole jock that is the villain in the story.

So I was excited and a little worried that he was going to be unredeemable in his story and boy does Ms. Stewart change my mind in a big way! Troy is so much more than just a pretty face and incredible ball-handling skills on the football field.  He is just, oh my me, swoony and amazing and everything worthy in a hero!

Clarissa, whew, this character ran me through the whole gamut of emotions! I felt angry for her, then angry at her! She was frustrating, but it was understandable because of her being a mom.  Then with the magic of Ms. Stewart’s words, she too is redeemable and I fell in love with her.  I was cheering hard for Clarissa when she finally saw the light and the amazing man in front of her.

Ms. Stewart has an amazing talent as a writer and I love her stories hard!

Ever
I fell in love with Memphis when I was five years old.
I spent our whole lives planning the perfect moment to tell him how I felt. When that night finally came, my best friend . . . the man I thought loved me in return . . . did the last thing I expected— he left.
Memphis abandoned me when I needed him the most, and as the years went by, I came to despise him.
Now, he’s back and the contestant of a local dating show— while living under the same roof as me.
As much as I want to keep hating Memphis, the more I get to know him again, the more I want to be one of the girls on the show.
When Memphis finally comes clean about why he left, I’m not sure if it’s going to heal us or rip us apart all over again.

Memphis
My entire life is one giant mess up. One questionable decision after the other.
Loving Ever is not one of them, though.
The night she finally poured her heart out to me, I should have taken her in my arms and never let her go. Instead, I turned my back on her and broke her heart.
It’s been forever, but I’m back home, trying to clean up my image with the help of a dating show, and living right down the hall from the woman who’s held my heart and soul since before I was old enough to realize I had either.
Working my way back into her life and her heart means coming clean about what happened the night I shattered her . . .
I’m terrified of losing her all over again.

The second the test-the-sexy-scenes offer landed in my lap, I said yes.

After all, I’ve been damn curious about a few things I’ve read in romance novels. Do buttons truly go flying across the floor when you rip off a guy’s shirt? Is staircase sex hella hot or does it leave you with a big old bruise mark on your back? And don’t even get me started on all that panty shredding, and whether it even works.

Time to find out as I embark on Project Sexy Scenes Research, at the request of my hotshot book editor bestie.

All I need is a willing scene partner. Enter Tristan, my best guy friend. The witty, tell-it-like-it-is, bearded hottie volunteers for the experiment.

He’s also the guy who gave me the most devastating, toe-curling kiss of my life ten years ago. But nothing has happened since then.
And nothing will come between my panties and our friendship now since we have a plan to keep it PG.
But once the buttons start flying, all bets are off…

The wait is over! Gilded Lily, the second standalone in Staci Hart’s Bennet Brothers Series, is LIVE! Trust me when I say you do NOT want to miss this one! Lila & Kash are everything. Grab your copy today on Amazon or snag this beauty in Kindle Unlimited today!

They say there’s no such thing as perfect.
But I’ve built my life to perfection—the perfect boyfriend, the perfect apartment, the perfect career planning celebrity weddings. My job—my only job—is to make sure every event is absolutely and completely perfect.
What’s not perfect? Kash Bennet.
And I wish I didn’t find that so appealing.
I could have told you every perfectly imperfect thing about the gardener at Longbourne. Like his hair, lush and black and far too long. Or his nose, the flat bridge of a Greek god, bent a little like it’s been broken. Or his size. Beastly. Roped and corded with muscles, gleaming with sweat and peppered with dirt.
There’s no escaping him, not if I’m going to use his family’s flower shop for my events.
But nothing is what it seems. And in the span of a heartbeat, my perfect life is turned inside out.
They say the best way to get over somebody is to get under somebody new. When Kash offers his services to the cause, it sounds like the perfect plan.
What’s not part of the plan? Falling in love with the gardener.
But they were right—there’s no such thing as perfect.
And I’m the fool who finds out the hard way.

Want more Bennet Brother goodness?

Grab Coming Up Roses, the first stand alone in the Bennett Brothers series, available now on Amazon in Kindle Unlimited!

Everyone hates parts of their job.
Maybe it’s the paperwork. Maybe it’s the day-to-day grind. Maybe it’s that client who never knows what they want, or the guy who always cooks fish in the microwave.
But not me. I love every corner of the Longbourne Flower Shop, every flower, every petal, every stem. I love the greenhouse, and I love Mrs. Bennet, my boss. I love creating, and I love being a florist. I don’t hate anything at all.
Except for Luke Bennet.
The Bennet brothers have come home to help their mom save the flower shop, and Luke is at the helm. His smile tells a tale of lust, loose and easy. He moves with the grace of a predator, feral and wild. A thing unbridled, without rules or constraint. When he comes home to save Longbourne, I almost can’t be mad at him. Almost.
He doesn’t remember that night I’ll never forget. That kiss, touched with whiskey and fire. It branded me like a red-hot iron. But it meant nothing to him.
Everyone hates part of their job, and I hate Luke Bennet.
Because if I don’t, I’ll fall in love with him.

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.

My Review…

The Bennett Brothers

I knew, I just knew when I read the first book in this series Coming Up Roses and got a small glimpse of Kash Bennett, I was gonna fall in love hard!  Ms. Hart never fails to exceed my expectations!

Gilded Lily is Kash’s story.  It’s Lila’s story, it’s the lush story of their blooming relationship.

Kash is the gentle giant, with magic in his hands and a scarred heart.  He is unbecoming in his assumptions of his worth and his ability to make a woman like Lila happy.  He feels he is better as being the “rebound” fella, but he is so much more.  I love him so hard for his vulnerabilities and his strength of character, for his calming demeanor and how he makes Lila feel.

Lila is a lady boss to the extreme!  She is so focused on her career track that she doesn’t see the garden through the leaves.  When she is bombarded by thorns and spikes of the heart, it’s Kash she turns to.  She feels safe with him and in her world that means everything.

This series, this wonderfully fresh twist on Pride and Prejudice is quirky, funny, full of heart, full of heat in the best way.  Thank you, Ms. Hart, for being brave enough to take a classic and put your wonder spin on it!

Want to know a secret?

It’s about that girl over there.
Don’t look, but she’s the one in the power suit—with the long, black hair and the serious expression, the one I’m about to go on a date with . . .

Yeah, according to her, she “accidentally” donated an obscene amount of money to my charity — The Lineup — to win said date but I found out the truth. Miss. Button Up Blouse has a secret, passionate crush on me.

I didn’t know her name until two days ago, despite the friends we have in common.
Was I oblivious? Probably.
Was I blind to it? Definitely.

But I’m no fool, I see it now. The High Heel Harlot wants more than just a date with Jason Orson, she wants to be able to claim the best butt in baseball as hers.

Here’s another secret . . . she has no idea I know.

TheLineup_teaser-8

EXCERPT:

**JASON**

It isn’t in my nature to cry over burnt ham, but here I am, tearing up like a jackass, because the meal I’ve been reluctantly slaving over for the past four hours is two shades away from charred dust.

I had it all planned out. The timing was right, the recipes perfected, the table decorated with impeccably folded napkins that impersonated angelic swans, and polished silver that I scrubbed for an hour until I could see my balls in the reflection. Nothing says polished silverware like a spoon that gives you a clear upside-down view of your gonads.

But even with countless hours of preparing this feast, naked as the day I was born with only an apron to cover my man-loins, I still ended up with a scorched ham doused in fire extinguisher agent because somehow, the damn thing caught on fire.

Imagine this, a grown-ass man—no, not just a grown-ass man, but a man at the fresh age of twenty-eight, built like a linebacker with buttocks you can bounce rocks off . . . thanks to squatting for a living—dancing around the kitchen on his twinkle toes, arms flailing with pink and white potholders attached to his hands, screaming like a banshee, as flames light up the Jenn-Air double oven where the brown sugar and pineapple ham resided.

Are you seeing it?

Add the imagery of said man naked, dick and balls harmoniously bouncing in panic while the apron his “girlfriend” got him that says Eat my food, Lick my dick, unravels in the fit to unleash the fire extinguisher.

That was me . . . a minute ago.

Frantic, screaming, and all in all losing any last shred of my man card I had left.

It’s why I’m currently weeping like a nitwit into the flaps of my apron, wondering where I went wrong.

If we’re going to be honest with each other—and I would like to establish honesty with you—I’ll admit, I’ve always leaned toward the sensitive side. You know, the cuddly grizzly bear. Big and intimidating but a fucking gooey butterball heart on the inside.

Tell me a love story. I’ll listen the crap out of it.

The Bachelor? Why yes, that’s one of my favorite shows.

Do I smile when sharing a candlelit dinner with myself, followed by a nice long soak in a bubble bath while Enya—the fucking goddess of all voices—plays in the background? I sure as shit do.

But if some ignorant asswipe gets in my face on the ball field, stirring up trouble, I’m the first to lay a fist across his jaw and the first to be thrown out of a game.

And I’m not even sorry about it.

People are arriving in an hour. I’m vulnerable as fuck with my bare ass resting against the cold white-oak floor of my girl’s apartment, while a lonely tear streams down my freshly shaven cheek. I have no main dish, and the apartment smells like burnt rabbit turd.

Why am I in this hopeless predicament?

Because of one person.

One single person who flipped my life upside down.

A bombshell in a suit, a ravenous sex-fiend in the sheets, a classy and sophisticated tight-ass in the boardroom. She’s a knockout who’s always on my mind. She’s the girl you do things for, that you never thought you’d ever do . . .

Like cook a fancy-as-fuck four-course meal for her and her business associates while practicing interesting conversational starters to ensure the night flows smoothly.

Back in college, I might have been referred to as the mother hen of the boys. I might have cooked at least two meals a week for the guys in the loft, and yeah, I was the ironing wizard, the one everyone turned to, to get out the most stubborn wrinkles. The title has carried on over the years, but my creativity in the kitchen has dwindled with the lack of time, my ironing is now done by my apartment keeper once a week, and the fresh flowers scattered around my place? They’re more dead now than alive.

My point—I’m not the lady of the house I used to be. But I’ve been getting back into the swing of it.

So when my girl asked me to perform the impossible feat of an intimate dinner for four, I should have ordered in, tossed everything in serving dishes, and called it a night.

But nooooooooo, I had to attempt to be a goddamn hero and try to cook everything myself.

And all for what?

For one girl?

No. Not just one girl. The girl who owns my balls, who has a grip so tight on them that if she asked me to bellow out my ABCs in soprano while swirling my finger around my belly button . . . I would.

Who is this girl that has brought me to the brink of boo-boo smush bear insanity and caused me to weep like a schoolgirl in the corner of the apartment?

There’s only one lady with more than enough ovaries to buckle the knees of the mighty Jason Orson.

The one and only Dorothy “Dottie” Domico.

My Review…

No author makes me laugh as hard or swoon as hard as Meghan Quinn.  Hands down this story had me laughing out loud the most!

This is Jason and Dottie’s story.  And what a story it is!

Dottie is a boss lady, kicking butt and taking names in a man’s world!  She is fierce, she is independent and because of a shambles of an ex, she has built a wall around her heart that is almost impenetrable.

All hail Jason Orson!! An adorkable man in the streets and an alpha in the sheets!! He is just everything that is good in the world! His humor, his happy, his love for all the good things is amazing!  And then “THE Towel”, I mean come on! The booty that is something worth crying over and let’s not forget #BestDamnTatoSaladEver !!

The chemistry and the way that Dottie and Jason’s personalities are so opposite is just phenomenal to read and I can just “see” it in my head.  A true testament to the talented storytelling prowess of Ms. Quinn.

You get to see all the past characters rounding out this fabulous story! They don’t take away from the main story, they just add more!

If you haven’t read anything by this author, what are you waiting for! You are gonna fall in love hard with this story!

My Review…

What a fan-flippin-tasic surprise release from Scott Hildreth!  This author knows how to write an MC book with heart, heat and a realistic twist that keeps you hooked until the very end!

Thug is the first book in a brand new series and I am beyond excited.

This story is an introduction of the crew of the Hard Eights MC, it’s also the story of Price and Gray.

Price is the president of this group of outlaws and he is the epitome of “Still waters run deep”. He doesn’t talk much but when he does, it means something.  He has a strength and determination in his convictions and with his past, you can see why he chooses the life that he does.

Mr. Hildreth is phenomenal with his heroines and Gray is no exception! She has a no holds barred, brutally honest and is not afraid to tell Price what she wants.  She is what every woman should strive for!  Her past gives her an excellent knowledge of what it means to be with Price and what she goes through with the club just makes me admire her character more!

The chemistry between Price and Gray is hotter than Hades and sometimes laugh out loud funny like a good relationship should be!

The introduction to the rest of the characters in the club is fantastic and I cannot wait to read about the more in future books in this series!

Mr. Hildreth brings an honest, almost down to earth feel to his stories and it’s one of the many things I admire about his work! Another amazing story and a brilliant beginning to a new series!  Well done Mr. Hildreth, well done!

Landon & Shay: Part Two, the not to be missed conclusion of the Landon and Shay duet by Brittainy C. Cherry, is available now!

Get your binge on with this must-read enemies to lovers, second chance romance!

Landon & Shay AMAZON (1).jpg

Once upon a time, I fell in love with a boy.
A beautiful, broken boy who had his own world of struggles.

People warned me against our love, but I didn’t listen.
We looked weak.
Young, foolish.
Dangerously in love.
We didn’t care.

In order to keep our hearts protected from the opinions of others, we became each other’s secret.
We shared stolen moments. Tender touches. Secretive embraces.

It was our twisted love story, and it worked for us up until our lives changed forever.
The boy I loved became Hollywood’s newest golden boy.
His career blossomed as mine stalled.
He found massive success as I discovered multiple failures.
He made something of himself, while my dreams never came true.
We moved into different realms where our pieces no longer fit together.

In the fairy tales, love conquered all.
In reality, love was the main reason empires began to fall.
I always knew Landon belonged in my story.
He was my beginning, middle, and end.
The only problem? I wasn’t certain I still belonged in his.

My Review…

“How’s your heart?”…”Still beating…”

Ms. Cherry, your words move me.  Enough said and yet I want to praise this story so much more.

Ms. Cherry continues to shine a light in the darkness.  This story will make the reader see more and understand a disease that has been hidden, judged and misunderstood for too long.

This is the final part of the epic story of Landon and Shay.

You feel the devastation and heartbreak that comes from separation.  You understand the meaning of “go slow”.  You see that all that glitters is not gold and even the happiest of faces can hide an enormous amount of pain and anguish.

This story truly needed two parts, to force this amazing story into one book would have done a huge injustice to the characters and the storyline.

Both Landon and Shay go through so much in the time they are apart and you can appreciate the way that that time had molded both of them into different people but at the heart of them beat a love so true and so magical that even time and space really couldn’t separate them.

This story touched me on a personal level, it brought a feeling of peace, understanding and a feeling that I am not quite alone and for that, I say thank you Ms. Cherry for creating this wonderful world and beautiful characters to life.  Thank you for being brave.
