It doesn’t take much to become the laughing stock of reality
television. Just ask Theodore “Theo-Dog” Legend. Once you’ve pissed on a fire
hydrant in front of the paparazzi, no one ever lets you forget it.
Hadley Holiday is on her way to being America’s sweetheart, thanks to
her dog training routine on a national talent show. Although she didn’t win
first prize, she snagged Theo’s attention and he’ll do just about anything to
make her his—even if it means being the butt of everyone’s joke once again.
Hadley wants a career in showbiz. Theo needs to get rid of that doggone
nickname—pun intended. Pairing the two together on a new show sounds like a
disaster waiting to happen… or it could be the best thing that’s ever
happened to them.

Excerpt

 

The walk to his room was second nature—a quick elevator ride, take a right and go down four doors. A swift rap of my knuckles against the door, and then I waited for the overwhelming force that was Gavin Grayson.

“Hello,” he said as he opened the door. No scowl to greet me, no anger. There was a small upturn of his lips, a little more prominent on one side than the other.

A shudder rolled through me, my heart doing double time again.
“What’s wrong tonight?” I asked as I stepped into his room.
“You’re not in it,” he said.
My stomach flipped, and I felt heat flood my cheeks. How was it that in a few short weeks he had taken over my heart? I wanted, yearned for his praise. To get caught up in his eyes, loving the way they would soften and grow heavy as he looked at me.
I drew in a stuttered breath as he stepped forward and towered over me. In heels I was a decent five-feet-eight, but Gavin had to be a few inches over six feet tall—a commanding presence as he loomed over me.
“Emma?” He was so close I could feel his breath on my skin.
“Hmm?”
“I want you.”
The muscles in my thighs clenched and I stretched up toward him, almost begging him closer. “Yes.”
“To stop looking at me like that.”
The haze he covered me with suddenly cleared as I looked up at him. My stomach dropped as I tried to comprehend what happened. “What?”
He stepped away, his back turned to me. All of his muscles were tense, his fists clenching at his side.
“If that’s what you want, what do you need?” I asked.
His head fell back. “I thought I’d made that obvious.”
“I’m not sure,” I replied, more than a little surprised at how breathy my voice was. “I’ve gotten a lot of mixed messages.”
He moved back toward me. “You have me conflicted.”
“How so?”
“Because the last time I wanted a woman anywhere near this much, things didn’t end so well,” he began. “Because you’re young. Because you work for the hotel and not for me.” He reached out, his fingers caressing my clavicle before slipping up my neck. “Because nothing has ever seemed as taboo as your lips.”
My knees felt weak as he moved closer, my nipples tightening. There was no resistance as I waited with bated breath.
His lips were soft against mine, supple. A taste, a sample. It was perfect, and an electric pulse moved between us. Every ounce of want and desire sat in the small gap between our lips.
A squeak left me when he suddenly pressed forward, kissing deeper and more intensely than before. His free arm wound around my waist, pulling me closer to him while his mouth opened. I followed suit, wrapping my arms around his shoulders, pulling him closer. It was forceful and filled with more passion than I’d ever encountered, so much that it ignited an inferno inside me.
All I wanted was for him to keep touching me, to never stop.

#WOTR19 #Review #SweetRomance – A Girlfriend for Christmas by Aly Grady

A Girlfriend For Christmas

When a blizzard prevents teacher Caroline Crawley from getting home for the first Christmas after her mother’s death, a stranger makes her an offer she can’t refuse.

Dr. Colin Pepper is traveling home, but without the non-existent girlfriend his family is expecting.

Can a pretend girlfriend be Colin’s true Christmas miracle?

Goodreads

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

When Aly asked if I would like to review her new “sweet holiday book”, I jumped.  Her books have that feel good vibe you get when reading.

The story is about Caroline who is stuck in the airport trying to get home to her dad in Iowa for Christmas.  She meets and chats with a kind and attractive man who hands her the phone and says “hey talk to my mom would ya.”…yup and that is how this whole story starts.

Colin told a small white lie to his family about bringing a non-existent girlfriend home for the holiday.  When he finds out Caroline’s story, he offers to help her if she helps him.  Upon entering his childhood home, he throws the final grenade at her…she is his liv- in girlfriend!!

Caroline is a trooper, but she enjoys the family time since she is an only child and being around Colin’s mom since she has lost her own mom helps to heal her heart.  There is insta-love but honestly this whole book is just a feel-good story.

We do have some conflict in the form of LAURA….Growl…not a fan of her at all but the end of the story was adorable and I can say I enjoyed reading it the night before Thanksgiving when the Holiday seasons officially kicks off.

Indiana. He said we had to move to Indiana. Was I in for a shock. Actually, no, but it would have been a great story. I love living and raising my family in the Midwest. Living with a racer spurred my imagination and I created The Racer’s Widow series. Since then, I’ve gone on to start the Homecoming series with A Home to Love.

Look me up and give me a shout. I’d love to hear from you.

 

#NewRelease #Giveaway – The Long Shot by Reana Malori


The Long Shot

by Reana Malori

Genre:

Contemporary Romance – Interracial

Blurb

When did she become so bold?

Regina Perkins played by the rules. She did what was expected of her and lived life between the lines. No one would ever accuse her of taking chances. Being a risk-taker was not in her DNA. But, the first time she saw Gavin Carpenter, all those things went out the window. Dating the father of a student wasn’t strictly forbidden and in Regina’s mind, that meant she had permission.

When did he decide to believe in love again?

Gavin Carpenter spent years shielding his heart from women who weren’t any good for him, or his son Riley. After a betrayal at the hands of his son’s mother, he swore off women, and relationships, which suited him just fine. Until she strolled into his life with her soft smile and beguiling eyes. Regina Perkins was the one woman who made him willing to risk it all for one chance of holding her in his arms.

#NewRelease #Review #Trilogy – Manipulation – Book 1 in Twisted Trilogy by Torrie Robles

Manipulation - Book 1 in Twisted Trilogy

Infatuation.
Addiction.
Fixation.
Obsession.
These are all words people have thrown at me my entire life. Things I need to watch for when my compulsion gets too great. But what they don’t ever mention is my ability to manipulate. Why would they? They’ve never known because I’m that good. Through the years, I’ve learned I need to do what I must to get the things I desire. My money, my business, my women.
Life is ruthless. Manipulation is key.
My latest desire is, Rochelle Cohen. She’s full of life, and beauty. A work of art, really. But she’s missing one key element.
Me.
At the end of the day, it will be me that she sees and no one else. By my hand, her trust in those closest to her will fade. She won’t feel safe anywhere, except in my bed. I will single handedly change her entire life until she has only one option left …
Me.
This is my story.
This is my focus.
This is my manipulation.

Goodreads

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

Shut the Front Door!  Then lock that bitch up tight!!  I mean WHOOOOOO What is happening to me???

This book is all kindsa leaving me with the chills and feeling so confused!!  The cliffhanger at the end was expected given it’s a trilogy but DAYUM!!

Rochelle is living life to the fullest.  She has it all going on for her and she is happy right.  I mean her daughter is perfect.  Her stud of a boytoy is amazeballs.  What could she have to worry about???  But then all of a sudden, her life is turned upside down by her stalker.  I mean the blurb is what made me want this book and now that I have it, I can’t talk about it because DAMN IT this entire review would be full of spoilers.

Just know this and understand this…when you read it be ready to be creeped out…..be stunned….be freaked….have insurance on your kindle because the gasping and dropping of it at the end of the book….yup…you will need it!

Torrie Robles was born and raised in the Central Valley of California. She currently lives a short distance from her hometown of Clovis. She is married and has three children, two boys and one girl. She has her Bachelor’s Degree in Healthcare Administration.

Writing has always been a passion of Torrie’s. 2015 will mark the year she will become a self-published author. She writes contemporary romance and plans to branch out as her career takes off. She is currently working on several different manuscripts. She hopes to have them all finished and published over the next couple of years.

When she isn’t working a full-time job, writing, raising her children, or just taking care of life Torrie’s biggest hobby is getting lost in books. Her passion for reading and the authors she looks up to has allowed her to make her dreams come true. Her fellow authors have truly been her inspiration.

#CoverReveal – The Ex Effect by Karla Sorensen

Title: The Ex Effect
Author: Karla Sorensen
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: December 5, 2018
Cover Design: Najla Qamber Designs

 

 

The headline could write itself:
Matthew Hawkins, star defensive end, comes out of retirement to play for the Washington Wolves. 
 
Which is perfectly fine by Ava Baker—it makes her job as publicist for the team easier. 
 
There’s only two problems. This particular football player was her first crush. 
 
The bigger problem: Matthew Hawkins was once engaged to her older sister. 
 
It’s been ten years since Ava has seen Matthew. He’s bigger, better looking, and best of all—completely single. Despite his history with her sister, the attraction between Ava and Matthew isn’t so one-sided anymore. 
 
It’s hot enough to burn down the entire city of Seattle. 
 
But this headline is far more complicated to write. And not just for the press or what it means for her family— because once her heart is involved, there’s no predicting the ending.
Well, let’s see … I’m a wife and a mother. If the things that I write bring a smile to someone’s face, then I’ve done my job. I am obsessed with Outlander (both the books and the show). I’m almost exclusively a romance reader, which means some people will never consider me a literary snob. If I could meet one historical figure, it would be Jane Austen. I received my Bachelors in Public Relations and worked in health care marketing before I had my babies. I hate Twitter. I do it, but I hate it. Also, if you want to get on my good side, bring me wine and I’ll love you forever.

Heavyweight (Hallow Brothers Book 3) Book 3  Corner (Hallow Brothers Book 4) Book 4

Caleb Hallow doesn’t need anyone. All he needs is to dominate in the MMA cage and become world champion. His plans are derailed when he wakes up with a mysterious tattoo of his ancestors after a one-night stand with his opponent’s ex-girlfriend, Meg Riley. Sharing the mark with her joins them as mates for eternity. Can Caleb deal with Meg for the rest of his life? Can he keep her safe from his past as he falls deeply in love with her? And will she stay by him when she finds out he is actually a werewolf?
It was just a fling, a chance to get revenge on her cheating ex. At least that’s what Meg Riley tries to convince herself. But the indescribable pull that draws her to the dark, dangerous Caleb Hallow tells her differently. Although she is furious when she finds the strange tattoo on her back after their night together, and even though he tells her some convoluted story about him being a werewolf, she can’t stay away from him. She can’t stop herself from falling for him. When her ex threatens Caleb’s life, how far will Meg go to save him? Will she be willing to sacrifice her life for his?

Book 2-

Micah Hallow doesn’t believe he’ll ever find his mate. That is until a mystic tattoo appears on his back after a wild night with a stripper that marks her as his mate. Despite a life-threatening injury that brings him to his knees every time it strikes, he commits to a fight in the octagon to save her life. What will she do when she finds out he’s one of the infamous Hallow Brothers—and a werewolf?

Eve Romero can’t escape her violent boss, Deacon. That is, until the hottie she slept with puts his life on the line in exchange for hers. She can’t fight the primal attraction to him even though she doesn’t feel she’s worthy of the Hallow brother. Can she overcome her past to be with him? And when a new, murderous threat strikes close to home, will the two of them survive?

Book 3-

Samuel Hallow is desperately in love. However, he knows his family won’t condone his relationship with his boyfriend, Henry. The brothers mate for life and neither man has had the mystical tattoo appear that binds them to the one chosen for them.

Delilah, Henry’s lifelong friend, comes to town and Samuel is consumed with unexplained lust. He and Henry both sleep with her and the tattoo appears on all three of them, marking the trio as mates for eternity. He nearly loses the others when he confesses his true nature – that he, like his six brothers, are werewolves. Although Delilah and Henry are angry and obsessed with their careers, they can’t stay out of his bed.

Can he protect his lovers from the vampires who hunt them, who want to use them to get possession of Momma Hallow’s ancient amulet? And will the Hallow Brothers stand united when they discover that Henry, the man Samuel loves, embodies an ancient evil magic, hell bent on conquering the world?

Book 4 –

Josiah Hallow carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. Literally. Between keeping his family safe as the head of the Hallows, training his six younger brothers for their individual turns in the MMA cage, and guarding his mother’s amulet from the creatures who want to use it to take control of the world, his sanity is about to break.

Mating with the pure Sarah Merit, an overly-religious school teacher whose body makes every fiber of Josiah’s being stand at attention, could finally push him over the edge. Unfortunately, despite the all-consuming sex that blazes between the pair, it isn’t enough to convince Sarah to live with him so he can protect her, as well.

When Josiah learns the secret Sarah is keeping from him, he makes a deal with the pair of vampires who run the MMA promotion the family fights for in an attempt to save her. But will he be able to save her again when Sarah is kidnapped and taken to Josiah’s grandfather, Atticus, the vicious alpha of a pack of werewolves in Maine? And what will Sarah do when she finds out the sexy corner of the Hallow Brothers is a werewolf, too?

When Kaitlyn unexpectedly runs into Eli Baker, the one she left behind, all bets are off. Does absence really make the heart grow fonder? How much are you willing to give up for true love?

***This can be read as a standalone.***

Goodreads

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

I totally fell in love with Eli in Jackson’s book.  When Heather said Eli was getting a novella, I was so excited.  I mean we all love a bad boy, but a broken bad boy makes all the women’s hearts swoon.  Eli always acted like he wasn’t a fan of the whole “love” thing but the way he helped Jackson through the loss of his wife and everything after spoke differently.

It turns out Eli was, in fact, a one-woman kinda guy who loves Kait with everything he has.  He has dreams, hopes and aspirations that will include her by his side….or so he THOUGHT.

Kait loves Eli but the chance to go to Paris to learn to cook turns out to be bigger then her love for the boy she gave her heart too.  When she leaves and never returns, she destroyed our Eli.

I enjoyed the short look into the “what happened” between these two.  The dynamic and the chemistry were a great read for me and I definitely look forward to the longer novel in the future because this novella is just the beginning for out couple.  It’s a bit of a teaser after reading the cooking scene!!!  Read it and you will understand what I mean.

Heather D’Agostino is an avid reader turned Bestselling Author of the Contemporary Romance Series The Broken Series, The Shattered Series, The Second Chances Series, The Cook Brothers Series, and Romantic Suspense series The Witness Series.

1.) ONE NIGHT STAND

Conor O’Gallagher runs his family pub. He’s proud, he’s business minded, and he’s every bit a bachelor. O’Gallaghers’ female patrons know he’s up for a good time, one night only. Forever is not on his radar.

But what happens when one night gives him a little more than he bargained for?

Conor’s about to find out…

2.) ABOUT LAST NIGHT

Like his brother, Rory O’Gallagher likes his women, and all but one have come to him easily and willingly.

Never has he had to work so hard for one as he’s had to Emily Winters. As cold and dismissive as she is, Rory can’t help but want to heat her up.

Will she thaw toward him long enough for him to get his taste? Can he prove to her he’s not what she thinks?

He’s certainly going to try.

3.) ALL NIGHT LONG

The youngest of the three, Brenna O’Gallagher lived through rumors and lies–or so her brothers think. In truth, there’s more to Brenna than many people know.

When she vowed off men, she never thought she’d be tempted by a man her brothers hired for O’Gallaghers.

She knows nothing but secrets, and Greyson Stone is starting to threaten them.

Can she allow him in? And can she share him with the world?

Brenna’s not so sure.
