#ReleaseBlitz – Deceit in Bloom by Jennifer Michael

Cautionary tales don’t usually have happy endings…

Raised in foster care. The sister of a whore. The fool who fell for the wrong guy.

Paisley James is all too aware that sometimes fairy tales just don’t exist.

There is no telling where hearts belong or loyalties lie when deceit is in bloom.

Author Note: Deceit in Bloom is book one of a series and ends in a BIG, dramatic cliffhanger (No joke). The story continues in book two, Vengeance in Bloom

As a child, Jennifer Michael dreamed of being an author. Life and adulting eventually pushed that dream down to a mere fantasy, which was where it stayed for years. Then, through a stroke of luck and a Kindle, she found the indie romance world, and the dream that was long ago deemed unattainable became a reality. Writing fulfills pieces of her she lost long ago.

Jennifer writes stories that range from sweet and sultry to dark and daring. Behind her computer, she’s constantly dreaming up where she’ll go, what new characters she’ll meet along the way, and what genre she will concur next.

From her house in southwest Florida, she spends far too much time wishing she were at the beach with a good book. She’s an avid reader of fiction, but is a huge fan of gritty stories with deep emotion or dark twisty plot twists. She’s also known to indulge in guilty pleasure television shows. She gets sucked into the world of characters from all mediums. She loves to hear from her readers so make sure to check her out on social media.

From New York Times bestselling author Katy Regnery comes her first duo of paranormal romances!

ONCE UPON A TIME…
the most beautiful boy in the world kissed me.
I’ve never been able to forget.
Perhaps it was his jet-black hair,
or the changing copper-color of his eyes,
the intense way he looked at me…
or the fact that he awakened my passion for the first time,
at once otherworldly yet heartbreakingly real.
But after that kiss, I never saw him again.

His name was Jack Beauloup.
Jack, my “Beautiful Wolf.”

Twenty years passed. He has returned. For me.

The thrilling conclusion of Katy Regnery’s first paranormal romance series!

HAPPILY EVER AFTER…
To some, they’re just words signifying a fairytale ending.
For me, Jack Beauloup, they represent an unyielding desire:
Forever with Darcy Turner, the unexpected love of my life.
A love that has placed her human life in danger.

According to Pack Law, my binding is an abomination that must be severed.
It’s ignited a fiery hatred that I must confront and control.

But what is bound cannot be broken.
I will keep Darcy safe.
Even if it means giving up on my dreams.
Even if it means giving up my life.

Twenty-five books later, Katy claims authorship of the multi-titled, New York Times and USA Today Blueberry Lane Series, which follows the English, Winslow, Rousseau, Story, and Ambler families of Philadelphia; the six-book, bestselling ~a modern fairytale~ series; and several other standalone novels and novellas.

#WOTR # Review #ReleaseBoost – Catching Raindrops by H.D’Agostino @Hdagostino001

Catching Raindrops (The Sutter Family, #1)

Ever feel like your entire life has been planned out for you before you were even born?

As the only girl in the Sutter family and daughter of an ‘almost Olympian’, my parents have always had goals for me. I never questioned them and always strived to be the best. I thought I knew what I wanted in life until I didn’t.

One mistake, and the straight path I had planned was suddenly crooked. Goals that I’d worked for since I was little didn’t seem so important anymore; And the one place I never thought I’d go back to was the only place I wanted to be… home, where I found comfort in the most unlikely place.

At six years my senior, Brock Foster has always been unattainable. He was the boy that filled my fantasies. I resigned myself years ago to never feel his touch, never know what his kisses were like, or to have him wrap me in his arms. I never thought when I came home that he would still be there, or that he’d remember me.

Sometimes the future that we think we want isn’t what we need. Sometimes those bumps and turns mold us into who we were always meant to be, and sometimes they lead us to who we should have always been with.

Brock Foster helped me to embrace my path. He taught me to stop and catch the raindrops, and open myself to love again.

Goodreads

Amazon

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader’s Copy of this book.

Returning to the Sutter family is like returning home. Seeing Emma all grown up is wonderful.

Coming homework the summer after being away at school Emma is hiding a lot from her family and when she does tell them she doesn’t tell them everything about why she came home. No one knows the whole truth but her. She doesn’t expect to find the boy of her teenage dreams has come back to town and is all grown up and looking yummy. She wasn’t looking for love, but that is what she found.

Brock wasn’t looking to find someone, he especially wasn’t looking to start dating Emma Sutter. He remembers her as a teen, and now that she is all grown up she just……….. But he knows when she finds out his secret it’s gonna be bad, heck when her dad finds out he’s gonna be dead. Why? Because Nick Sutter is his boss!!!!

D’Agostino never fails to make me cry, even if she isn’t trying too. Emma and Brock are hot and sweet rolled into one. Nick and Leah are everything they were in their story, but better as parents. When Emma has to explain the real reason she came home for the summer, her parents are unbelievably supportive of her and Brock shows what a true man is by listening and following his heart.

When she goes back to school will they be able to make a long distance relationship work? Are her parents still going to support their relationship or will her dad make it so hard for Brock that he has to quit his job? I’m not telling!!!! However, I will tell you this; if you’ve never read The Shattered Series, which is about Emma’s parents, you can totally read this book. It’s the start of a totally new series and you will not be lost. Im looking forward to the next book and I hope that Mel puts Aaron in his place.

BLURB:
Griffin Stone isn’t known for his patience, but he manages to endure the three months until Avery Rose’s eighteenth birthday to pursue her. The hot teacher has a plan…

Step 1: Get close to Avery by replacing her set teacher.

Step 2: Make the gorgeous young actress fall for him—just like he’d done with her at first sight from across the studio lot.

Step 3: Teach her the most important lesson of all—that she belongs with him.

Warning: The sweet story might be short, but it has plenty of sexiness and an alpha male who will do whatever it takes to get his woman.

Please note: Star Pupil was previously published in the Hot For Teacher anthology.

 


REVIEW

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

If you like insta love with an older man and younger woman you should one click this.

Avery was an up and coming star when she arrived on the set Griffin Stone saw her from a distance and knew she would be his. Only problem was he had to wait 3 months until her 18th birthday to put his plan in motions…well maybe he put some of his plan in motion from that point on. You see Griffin owned the company the studio hired to make sure the kids received their proper schooling.

There was some drama in this one but Griffin was able to snuff that flame out quickly. Avery’s mother didn’t have a clue what she walked into when she tried to pull some of her crap with Avery. The things Griffin did for Avery was sweet.

This was a quick read and kept me turning the pages Griffin has so many surprises by the end of the book. I absolutely loved the epilogue. What an ending!!

EXCERPT
Growing up in Hollywood, I’d seen plenty of beautiful women throughout my life. I’d even dated my fair share of them. But nothing could have prepared me for the effect Avery Rose had on me. She’d been discovered in a Midwestern shopping mall of all places, plucked out of obscurity to be cast in one of the leading roles of a teen action movie with a blockbuster budget.


Along with everyone else connected to the movie business, I’d heard about the young beauty who was being called the next up-and-coming starlet. I knew I’d bump into her at one point or another, Hollywood was like a small town in many ways, but I hadn’t bothered to listen to the gossip surrounding her since I knew most of it tended to be exaggerated bullshit. I also didn’t want it to color my impression of her since my company was going to be in charge of the education and welfare of all the minors in the movie while they were on set during filming.


Maybe if I’d paid more attention to the talk about Avery, I wouldn’t have reacted the way I had. The moment I spotted her across the studio’s lot, I froze in my tracks and stopped mid-sentence in the middle of a conversation.  With her wavy dark hair, pale skin, wide blue eyes, and curvy figure, she was an intriguing combination of sensual innocence. I felt the punch of attraction from more than thirty feet away.


The timing was impossible. She was three months away from her eighteenth birthday—too fucking young for my twenty-seven years—but it didn’t stop my obsession from starting. I wanted her as my own, and I was damn well going to figure out a way to make it happen.

 

 


ABOUT ROCHELLE PAIGE

EXCERPT:
 
“What happened to us, Lincoln? Where did things go wrong?” she mutters
uneasily. Tears slowly find their way down her cheeks.
“I wish I had the answer, but I don’t.” My voice wavers.
“I don’t know how much longer I can keep doing this. I’m losing myself.
I hate who I’ve become,” she shakes her head regretfully.
“I hate that I’m hurting you.”
I get up and sit next to her. I place my hand under her chin, lifting
her face so I can see her. “I love you. You know that, don’t you?”
“I know you love me. That’s never been the problem.” Her faint smile
holds a touch of sadness.
How do two people that love each other repair what has been broken? Can
we? Seeing her sad is breaking me. I’m such a dumbass for not realizing how
much she’s hurting watching her best friend get something she wants so bad.
Something that I’m not willing to give her.
The ride home takes about an hour with the city traffic this time of
night. With Morgan’s hand clasped with mine we enter my apartment. The sound of
the door shutting echoes in the living room. I turn the lock and toss my keys
on the table next to the door.
I follow Morgan in to the bedroom. I lean down and place a gentle kiss
against her lips. The touch of her lips is a delicious sensation. I raise my
mouth from hers and gaze into her eyes. Christian was right. They are sad. How
haven’t I noticed how much this is affecting her?
She pushes up against me to meet my lips again. Morgan showers kisses
around my lips and along my jaw. Her breath smells sweet, like the fruity
cocktail she was drinking at the wedding reception. The kisses are slow and sensual
that drive me wild. My mouth swoops down to capture hers. She parts her lips
granting me access to her tongue. Her tongue tastes sugary. My lips recapture
hers, more demanding this time.
I pull away from her and gaze into her dark brown eyes. My hands make
their way to her face, cupping her cheeks. “I love you, Morgan,” I say against
her hips.
She bites her lip, and a groan passes through my lips. My chest heaves
uncontrollably. It’s been a few weeks since we’ve been intimate.
Slowly my fingertips pull the zipper of her dress. Once it reaches the
bottom, her strapless dress falls to the floor. Her flawless body stands before
be in a lacey black strapless bra and matching thong.
I gently outline her nipples, causing her to suck in a quick breath. Her
nipples harden immediately from being teased. I gradually work my way to the
clasp at the back undoing it. Her bra falls to the floor and I can’t help but
lean down and take her nipple into my mouth.
Her hands pull on my hair. I press kisses, feathery and light, followed
by little love bites as I make my way down her body. Morgan shivers and arches
against me. I guide her toward the bed until the back of her thighs hit the
mattress.
“Lie down.”
Morgan complies and I take her breast into my mouth and suck hard. She
moans, when I bite her nipple.
When I look up, I see a mark on her breast. I sucked a little too hard.
I should feel bad, but I don’t. Instead, I feel proud. Possessive. I love
leaving my mark on Morgan.
I rip her panties off and throw them to the side.
Morgan gasps and looks down at me. “They were brand new,” she says
angrily.
“They were in the way… I’ll buy you new ones.”
I continue to torture her with kisses along her stomach, her hip, then
her thighs. My hands stroke the inside of her thigh. I explore the sexy curves
that lead to her tight little ass.
“Stop teasing me,” she pleads.
When I find her clit, I suck on her sensitive bud. She cries out and
grips my hair and grinds against my face.
I lick her, kiss her, torture her with my mouth until she is chanting my
name.
“Lincoln, oh, God.”
I smile as I bite her clit, then suck on it.
“Don’t stop. Just like that.” Her orgasm hits her hard. She pulls my
face against her and grinds against my face. Her other hand grips the sheet as
she cries out.
Her back arches off the bed and her body trembles.
I don’t give her time to recover as I make my way up her body, trailing
kisses along the way.
“Who do you belong to, Morgan? Tell me.” My voice low and demanding.
“You,” she moans “Always, you.” Her voice unsteady. She closes her eyes.
“Look at me, don’t close your eyes. I need to see your eyes. You need to
know who is doing this to you.”
She blinks, then her eyes blaze up at me.

“I’ll fight for you. Don’t give up on us.” I kiss the tip of her nose
and climb off the bed to quickly undress.

#Review #paranormal #Shifters – Heat by Alyssa Rose Ivy

Heat (The Grizzly Brothers Chronicles, #2)

Mara has power—power she isn’t sure she wants, but after awakening a demon she has no choice but to embrace her abilities.

Ian will do anything to have Mara as his mate, but even he is unsure how to protect her from a danger like none he could have ever imagined.

When the heat is on, Mara and Ian will risk everything to find their way back to each other.

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

This book pics right up after Mara is kidnapped by bad villain, Bryant.  Bryant knows something about Mara’s abilities that even Mara doesn’t know she has.  Seems grandpa was hiding some stuff from her.  Ian is going crazy because he didn’t make Mara his mate when he had the chance and believe me is he kicking himself now for being the gentleman!!  He and his rag tag team of friends and frenemies go looking for Mara to save, uncover what she is, plus try to keep it under wraps that Ian is the new alpha of his bear pack.

I love that in every series of Alyssa’s we see characters from her other series.  I loved seeing Casey and Toby and hearing about Vera and Jared.  I love that Bryant is still a bad guy from the first paranormal series Alyssa put 5 years ago until now.

What I wish was different was the fact that it seems like Mara and Ian were apart for so much of the story.  The plot was engaging but I miss my 2 characters being together trying to figure stuff out together.

Genre: New Adult Romance

At 17, Olivia Evans has her life mapped out. Work two part-time jobs, study hard during her senior year, and save enough money to get her own place. There’s no room in that plan for romance. If watching her mother’s serial relationship disasters taught her anything, it’s that getting attached to a man is a waste of time and a recipe for heartbreak.

 

When she meets 19-year-old street racer Logan Tanner, a guy as unique and compelling as the ’69 Mustang that purrs under his mechanic’s hands, her heart beats wildly against the walls she’s built around it.

From the moment the notorious playboy’s intense, hazel eyes lock with hers, everything in her world slides off-kilter. With every encounter, every touch, and finally, every kiss, Logan slips past all her defenses.
But the moment she stops running from the inevitable, every reason she’d resolved to hold men at arm’s length comes crashing down around her in an emotional, complicated–even dangerous–mess. Leaving her to decide if love is worth the hassle, or worth fighting for.

Chloe McCarthy has one rule when it comes to sex: one night, no strings. But for Logan Tanner, she made an exception.

 

Big mistake.

 

When he breaks off their ongoing friends-with-benefits arrangement for someone else, reality hits her hard. She’s all alone and plummeting toward rock bottom. Until she runs into the one guy who can always make her smile. Matt Langston—mechanic by day, bouncer by night, ripped-and-tattooed-hot 24/7.

 

 

Matt would know that pink-tipped platinum-blonde hair anywhere. It’s Chloe, doing a half-naked walk of shame. He knows she’s no saint. Then again, neither is he—but he’s no douchebag either. Her slumped shoulders and tear-stained cheeks ignite his protective instincts even as his better sense warns him she’s a threat to his no-drama lifestyle.

 

 

As their friendship deepens, however, mutual desire reaches the boiling point. Chloe’s body hungers for Matt as a lover—but the last thing she wants is to ruin the best thing that’s ever happened to her with the best sex of her life…

Matt gets the job offer of a lifetime. The only problem? He’d have to leave town just when his connection to Chloe is starting to intensify. He knows what he feels for her is more than just lust. Just like he knows that if he pushes their relationship too far, too fast, it will die before it ever has a chance to begin.

 


 

He only has one week to decide between his dream career, and the woman he can’t get out of his thoughts.

 

 

Chloe knows Matt is hiding something, and she is certain that whatever it is will cause their ultimate demise. In an attempt to delay the inevitable, she asks Matt to hold off on telling her what it is for one night.

 

 

A single night to relish in each other.

 

 

A night to savor the bond they’ve formed.

 

 

A night to make a memory that they can both look back on after all is said and done.

 

 

She’s already surrendered to the idea that they don’t have a future together. Will one night change her mind?

After making one of the hardest decisions of her life, Chloe tries to start fresh. She wants to be the person that Matt needs but she’s got a long way to go. Change is never easy.

 

 

Matt knows the facts when it comes to his relationship with Chloe. The timing sucks. It’s all moving way too fast. And they’re not ready for it. But he loves her like crazy anyway.

 


 

If Chloe and Matt have learned anything from their pasts, it’s that love isn’t always enough to hold a relationship together. Will the love they have for each other be strong enough to last?

Angie’s Review

I received this book for an honest review.

Sigh…Michelle can write characters that I just love.  She is able to reach into my heart and squeeze it to the point of making me think I may explode.  Her men are so flawed but yet we love them for their imperfections.  Her females are strong and delicate but will kick butt if needed.  She can write the strong quiet characters too.  Ladies and gents, she can just write.

This book is in a long line of books by her that will go down as a favorite.  The feels of this book…yup its full of the feels.  The “I wanna die” feels.  The “I wanna cry” feels and the “THANK THE STARS” feels…….LOL

Bryant and everything he does to help Carly when her world is shifting and changing was amazing.  He is the NFL Stud but his heart is all about his girl.  Carly can’t believe everything that is happening but when she finally realizes what she has in front of her (believe me a few F bombs were muttered) she opens her eyes…….

I loved the story and I think that it is one of her best written.

 

Excerpt

His citrusy, musky cologne alerts me to his presence first. Probably some expensive brand that I’ve never heard of, but damn if it’s not like honey to a bear, and I’m the bear.“So, we meet again,” he says, stopping next to me at the end of the plank.

The scent of his cologne intensifies, pouring that honey into buckets.

I glance over, and his eyes are solely on me. That damn grin is splashed on his lips.

“Don’t worry. I left my weapon in the room.”

“And your gray sweatshirt, I see.”

Too bad he replaced it with a nice pair of slacks and a polo shirt. The blue in his shirt only causes his aqua eyes to become more vibrant and alluring.

He leans close to my ear, and my breathing hiccups quickly. “NFL quarterback by day, abductor at night.”

I square my shoulders, turning my eyes directly at him. “I’m sorry, okay? But what did you expect a woman to assume? It was dark, and you were some random guy sitting alone on a beach, trying to hide your face. That bubbling personality of yours wasn’t exactly exuding when I walked by.”

I cross my arms over my chest, and his eyes focus on my pushed up breasts.

“I suppose I see your point.”

“Plus, you’re a big guy, and I think you could have handled me pretty easily,” I add.

That damn smirk grows. “So, the thought of us together crossed your mind, too?”

My face instantly heats. “I meant, you pinning me to the ground.” Once the words leave my mouth, I wish I could grab them back, but he’s too quick.

His eyes flash with excitement, and he widens his stance.

“What?” I ask out of pure annoyance to the fluster this man brings out of me.

“I’m just waiting,” he says with his classic flirtatious tone.

“For what?”

“To hear how you wish last night would have turned out.”

“Ugh. You’re impossible. A typical pro athlete who believes every girl is for your taking.”

“I’m just going along with what you’ve been telling me.”

“Let’s just get through this dinner. Then, you can go to the pool bar and use your charm to pick up a random girl for the night.”

He chuckles that hearty laugh, rolling back on his heels. “You’re one of those then?” He purses his lips and nods, as though he has me all figured out.

“One of who?”

“The girl who acts like she’d never resort to sleeping with a pro athlete.”

“First off, I’m a woman, not a girl.”

My arms clamp tighter together, and again, his vision dips to my breasts.

“My apologies. You’re definitely a woman.” The side of his lips tip up as he glances down once more.

I let my arms fall, and his eyes float back to my eyes.

“I’m not playing a game, Mr. Garrity. I assure you, I don’t want you for a night or ever.”

He steps closer, and my heartbeat speeds up, but I stand my ground, meeting his eyes and trying everything in my power to be unfazed by his nearness.

“Oh, Miss Lincoln, I think you haven’t accepted what you want, but the night’s early.”

#WOTR #Review – Unfinished Business by Lyssa Layne

Unfinished Business

Marine Theo Lindemann is home for the holidays, what used to be his favorite time of the year, but this Christmas, Theo is haunted by the death of a fellow Marine.

Tess Vargas has been putting off visiting her mother for as long as she can but she has no escape now that it’s Christmas time.

Tess meets Theo drowning his sorrows at the airport bar and finds herself tasked with getting him on his flight. Upon arrival at their final destination, Theo offers Tess a ride and the pair end up snowed in at Theo’s parents’ house. When Theo’s parents would rather focus on his new ‘girlfriend’ rather than the loss he has suffered, Tess plays along until she realizes who Theo has been mourning.

Both have unfinished business but little do they know that it’s the same task.

I received a copy of the book for free from the author for an honest review.

OH LYSSA!!  Yes, I licked Theo and yes he is now MINE!!  You know how super claimy I get…..is claimy even a word?  EH who cares I am pronouncing “Today is Angie and Theo Day.”  FYI I totally imagine Theo James in this story…sorry but yes he is my Theo!!

Alright alright here is why I licked him and he is mine.

Theo is a war vet who has been deployed multiple times to fight overseas.  He has seen many of his buddies die but his recent loss was super close to home.  He is sitting in an airport drowning in his sorrows about visiting his buddy when Tess sits next to him.

Tess is dreading going home for the holidays.  She is not looking forward to the first family Christmas at home.  She is taken by the vet who she is drawn too.  She can’t understand it but wants to help him when he gets home.  She stays and pretends to be his girlfriend but along the way uncovers the biggest secret of them all.

If you haven’t read anything by Lyssa I ask you this, WHY THE HECK NOT??  If you have read her then you know how she can totally mind eff you with her story lines.  She writes a story and then WHAMO you are like “How did I not see that coming?” or “WHAT?  HUH?  OMG NOOOO!!”  Well in typical fashion I was so absorbed in Theo and Tess that when her big bomb hit I was shaking my head like a cartoon character!!

Lyssa Layne is first, and foremost, the proud momma to her precious daughter, AR. In addition to working full-time and being a mommy to AR, she is also an avid St. Louis Cardinals fan, a runner, blogger, and an infertility survivor.

Having watched one too many medical dramas and being inspired by author Rachelle Ayala, who introduced her to the world of indie writing, Lyssa decided to try her hand at writing a romance story. Her attempt turned into the Burning Lovesick series. You can find Lyssa’s own interests throughout her stories although all stories are fictional.

 

#review #TwinsieForTheDay – The Nameless (The Huntress #3) by Dawn Robertson & Kristen Hope Mazzola

The Nameless (The Huntress, #3)

I am a good person.
In fact, I am the best of the best. I am a saint. I made the greatest sacrifice of my life in hopes of forgiveness from my sins. I saw the light and he saved me from the darkness.
I am Nameless.
Does anyone know who I really am?

Dawn and Kristen want to warn you: this is not for the faint of heart! But if gore, violence, and extreme sexual situation are your cup of tea, this is the read for you.

Review by Jordan

This book was a wild ride from start to finish. Ellie is now a mother with responsibilities that concern more than just herself. Will she end up with Linc or will what happened be left as a moment of weakness? So many questions before I read this story, and the book did not disappoint! I highly recommend this series. 
*I purchase this book.

Dawn Robertson-

Three times best selling author Dawn Robertson was born and raised in Connecticut before relocating to Florida in 2013. The same year first novel, Hers debuted as an Amazon Best Seller. Replicating that success with two additional novels in the following years.

The Indie publishing world has grown to love her raw writing style depicting strong
women in real life situations, topping the charts in erotica, romance, and romance-suspense. Robertson has even insinuated that the female characters in her book mirror her real life. But, that I’ll leave to speculation.

When Dawn Robertson is not writing she is a full-time Real Estate professional in Florida, and mother of three amazing children.

Future projects include: The Huntress, The Hopeless, & The Nameless a three book thriller series with Author Kristen Hope Mazzola.
