#wotr26 #attendingauthor Tattoo My Heart (Vanished 1) by Stacey Lynn Hafner

Lucas Abbott built his life from nothing – one inked masterpiece at a time, turning his tattoo artistry into a reality TV sensation. But beneath the fame, fortune, and smoldering confidence lies a man haunted by loneliness—until Dr. Ashland Carrington walks into his shop and turns his world upside down.

Brilliant, driven, and carrying wounds of her own, Ashland has no time for reckless charm or men who collect women like they do tattoos. Yet Lucas is unlike anyone she’s ever met—his touch ignites something she can’t resist, and his secrets call to her in ways she never expected.

But someone doesn’t want them together. Someone willing to do whatever it takes to keep them apart. As danger closes in, Lucas and Ash must fight for their love—or risk losing each other forever.

Ink. Obsession. Betrayal.

Welcome to the VANISHED TATTOOS, where the artists are as sexy and colorful as the ink they design.

i bought this book here is my honest review

Lucas was just living his life working hard in a tattoo shop with some of his best friends, but his dream was always to open his own shop and have it run the right way, with no side deals. when he was about to go on tattoo competition show he had a surprise long lost family member he knew nothing about show up and try to pay him not to go on the show. in true Lucas’s fashion he went on the show won, opened his own tattoo shop and took this families last name just to piss them off. Everything changed for him when a bachelorette party came in for a fun night, he was stopped in his tracks when he saw Ash for the first time thankfully for him, she isn’t the bride, but that fun night took a turn when the shop has 2 shooters trying to rob the place and Lucas’s best friend gets shot in the cross fires. Ash is a Dr and so is her freind they get to work to save his friend’s life. A lot of crazy things happened since that night in the shop and Lucas and Ash cant stay away from each other but someone doesnt want them to be together, their safety is tested more then ever, can their feelings for each other fight the odds that someone has against them, time will tell. omg this book is hawt, spicy and makes me want to get more tattoos soon lol.

i bought this book and here is my honest review

Sasha a plus size influencer had to move away from her life because she ended up with a stalker. sending gifts to her house and not the po box she had set up for her followers and companies to send her things to promote. So now she’s got a job working with the Glendale Magic Hockey Team as their social media manager, working on getting the fans more involved and getting tickets sales. But Sasha caught the eye of the golden boy of the team, and his game hasn’t been the same when she’s been around. Conners shots have been off until he notice’s Sasha and starts showing off. Will Sasha be able to live her life without looking over her shoulder, can Conner get his head in the game without getting distracted more. or will they hot a slapshot in overtime and both be seeing stars.

#wotr #attendingauthor #partofaseries Perfect Secret (Mason Creek 12) by Molly Mclain

A fake relationship with a sexy cowboy in a small town is never a good idea…

-Alana-

After high school, my plan was to leave the small town of Mason Creek and never look back. I thought I’d work my way through college while my long-time, bull rider boyfriend chased his rodeo dreams and took me along for the ride.

My own dreams of becoming his publicist and living the high life together on the ABR circuit were crushed when it became clear that my eight seconds was up. The buckle bunnies were suddenly more appealing than the girl with her nose buried in the books.

I’ve sworn off men, especially cowboys and bull riders.

That is, until I walk in on one in my shower, naked, wet, and built like he could break my heart… and my bed.

-Holden-

The rodeo has been my whole world, and all it took was one false accusation to bring it crumbling down. I cleared my name, but the organization I’ve given my life and my body to for the past seven years doesn’t give a damn. They don’t want the drama and right now they don’t want me.

That’s how I ended up in Mason Creek, hiding from the cameras while the dust settles and I can reclaim my reputation and my rank in the ABR. The last thing I need is to get messed up with a local girl, especially one who hates cowboys–bull riders in particular.

Our relationship may be just for show, but I see the opportunity for what it is…The chance to keep my secret a little longer and prove to Alana that maybe her problem with bull riders is simple…

She hasn’t ridden the right one yet.

oh lord it feels good to be back in Mason Creek!!! Alana lived there her whole life but went away for college and fell in love with a cowboy in the ABR circuit but when he broke her heart because buckle bunnies were more tempting than staying faithful, Alana focused all her time on work and school. she worked at the local grocery store and was hoping for one day to own it, she did everything else why not own it. but when her boss let her know that a ABR cowboy was going to live across the hallway she wasn’t having it but she didn’t have a choice. Will she be able to resist his charm or will this be the wildest 8 second ride of her life.

#wotr #attendingauthor #partofaseries Tempting Taste (Cinnamon Roll Alphas 2) by Sara Whitney

She stopped in for cake and accidentally flambéd his life

Erik was always happy to watch customers taste his high-end wedding cakes from the safety of the kitchen.

But that was before the maid of honor sampling his chocolate hazelnut ganache picked a fight with the bakery owner and the situation… escalated.

Now Erik has bigger problems than losing his dream gig, and they’re all wrapped up in the chatty PR whiz who wants to apologize for the mess she made by turning him into Chicago’s hottest baker.

Josie’s the type of woman Erik’s always avoided: breezy, confident, and so frustratingly gorgeous that someday he’s going to slip and bury his fingers in her fiery red hair.

That’s the day he’ll show her just how well his salty and her sweet combine.

That’s the day it’ll all go up in flames.

i bought this book and here is my honest review

Josie went to help her best friend with his cake tasting for his upcoming wedding and since his husband to be out of town she offered to help, but when the bakery turns them away because it’s the same sex getting married and she doesn’t approve of that lifestyle, Josie and Richard storm out of the bakery. Following them was the head baker who finally took his earbuds out to listen to what was happening, so he quit on the spot and took his recipes with him and offered to make Richard’s wedding cake for him. lots of craziness happens and next thing Josie knows she’s making a marketing and graphics for Erik’s new bakery business, will they be able to get this new business up and running, and only bake cakes or will they end up baking the sweetest recipe of all between the two of them. frosting, flour, sugar and all other ingredients are flying when it comes to these two.
Sara Whitney writes spicy rom-coms so addictive, you’ll finish them in one sitting and immediately stalk her for the next book. Her sassy heroines and alpha-sweet heroes who’ll make you laugh out loud on one page and absolutely wreck you on the next.

A recovering journalist and film critic who went rogue and got a Ph.D., Sara splits her time between professing, writing swoony smut, and badgering her friends to watch her latest TV obsessions. She lives in Illinois in a house with hot pink hallways and three sweet but sociopathic cats who’d like you to know they’re on the brink of starvation (despite their ample proportions as evidence to the contrary). Through it all, she survives on Swedish Fish, overly sweet coffee, Yankees baseball, and the unwavering belief that red lipstick can fix almost anything.

#WOTR26 #WOTR26AttendingAuthor #Review – In Loving Words (You’ve Been Gnomed Book 1) by AJ Renee and Miranda Lynn

A meddling gran, a protective brother, and a mysterious gnome in the Georgia mountains…

What could possibly go wrong?

Spending Christmas in the mountains with her family is exactly what Kennedy needs. Work has been stagnant, and Norina has always felt like home. But when her parents bail and her brother’s smoking-hot best friend shows up instead, her underwear goes up in flames.

For Jack, a quiet holiday retreat with his best friend’s family is just what his agent ordered, and the small-town, picturesque setting is instantly inspiring. Falling hard for his friend’s sister, however, wasn’t in his latest outline.

Their chemistry is undeniable.

Their timing couldn’t be worse.

As real life waits below the mountain, Kennedy and Jack must make a choice.

Cut their holiday romance short, or let it blossom into an unforgettable love story.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

I wanna be Gnomed!

This is a hilariously sweet rom com where Christmas is supposed to be bring everyone together but it might be more of the meddling grandmother and her shenanigans. Gran is making sure everyone is invited to Norina to spend Christmas in the mountains. Away from all the hustle and bustle. The parentals bail but Kennedy and Harrison show up like the good grandkids they are. However, they aren’t prepared for Harrison’s best friend Jack and Kennedy to have undeniable chemistry. Each day gets more and more interesting as they get to know each other. Oh, and when Gran lets little things “slip” here and there, it is absolutely hilarious! Gran’s shenanigans really put the cherry on top of the story. It doesn’t matter what time of the year it is, this story is super cute and a must read. You need to meet Puck!

Readers so overwhelmingly embraced one Wicked Gentleman, Jackson Hart specifically, turning many of her #AuthorGoals into a reality.

When Christy’s not turning her risqué thoughts into something worth reading, you’ll find her geeking out on all things pop culture, obsessively stalking Pinterest for home interior ideas, lunching with friends, or researching her next vacation destination.

She has strong opinions about folding laundry, fruity wines, the Oxford Comma, fashion, and mixed vegetables.

Christy lives in central Indiana with her husband and their three loveable cats, Cheeto, Dorito, and Brew. But as cute as they are, please send scratching posts asap because they’re slowly destroying the furniture.

#wotr26 #attendingauthor #partofaseries Roaring Fork Rockstar (Roaring Fork Ranch 3) by Heather Slade

He gave up his rock star dreams for a family obligation.
She’s hiding a four-year-old secret behind the bar.
Together they’ll discover that some songs are written in whispers, not spotlights. HOLT
I had it all—world tours with CB Rice, my songs on the radio, everything I ever dreamed of. Except now it’s my turn to fulfill the requirements of a family trust I’d foolishly hoped wouldn’t involve me. If I don’t spend three hundred and sixty-five days straight in my hometown of Crested Butte, Colorado, my siblings and I will lose our inheritance along with our family legacy. What else is the secret trustee forcing me to do? Play gigs in a local bar and donate my earnings to a kid’s charity. It’s not the money I’m worried about, I’m making plenty of that from royalties. Instead, it’s watching my shot at stardom slip away. The only bright spot of playing night after night at the Goat is its owner, Keltie Marquez who serves up mysteries I can’t resist. Like why the rattling cough of her tiny daughter, whose wild dark curls frame her face like her mama’s do, haunts my dreams.

KELTIE
The last thing I need is Holt Wheaton asking questions about my daughter. He’s supposed to be on tour with CB Rice, not playing at my bar, not looking at my little girl like she holds answers to questions he doesn’t even know to ask. Every time he picks up that guitar, I see pieces of a puzzle that could shatter everything. His family’s past and my daughter’s future are tangled in ways that could break both our hearts—or maybe heal them. If only I could tell him the truth.

And the truth between them that burns hotter than the lies keeping them apart.
 
PORTER
I came to Morris Ranch to make things right, even though Cici Morris hates me for what she thinks I did to her brother. Keeping my promise to Maverick means living with her contempt, but I can handle that. What I didn’t expect was discovering the ranch is being systematically destroyed—or falling for the fiery woman determined to save her family’s legacy. Now, someone’s threatening not just the ranch but Cici herself, and I’m trapped between the promise I made and protecting the woman I’m falling in love with. If I tell her the truth about that night, I could lose her forever. If I don’t, I might lose her anyway.

CICI
I’ve spent two years rebuilding my life after losing my parents and nearly losing my brother in an accident. The last person I want help from is Porter Wheaton—the man responsible for almost destroying what’s left of my family. But with mysterious accidents plaguing the ranch and our finances in shambles, I’m running out of options. Working beside him daily is torture, especially when I start seeing glimpses of a man nothing like the monster I imagined. As we uncover a web of threats surrounding the ranch, I find myself drawn to his quiet strength and unwavering support. But just when I start to trust him, I discover what I believed ended up being wrong—and the truth could change everything I thought I knew about family, loyalty, and love.
