RELEASE REVIEW: The Roommate Agreement by Emma Hart

banner-1.jpg

Let your homeless best friend stay with you, he said. Being roommates will be fun, he said. It’s only temporary, he said.

He never said I’d fall for him.

The Roommate Agreement, all-new hilarious and romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Emma Hart is available now!

ROOMMATEAGREEMENT-coverdraft1.jpg

You know what isn’t ‘temporary?’ The endless stream of dirty socks in my bathroom and empty food packets under the sofa—and don’t even get me started on the hot guys who take over my living room every Sunday to watch sports.

I can’t take anymore.

So I propose a roommate agreement. One that will bring peace and order back to my life, complete with rules that might just stop my newfound crush on my best friend in its tracks.

After all, there’s only so many times you can see your best friend naked before you start to lose your mind.

Rules. They’re meant to be broken… Aren’t they?

My Review

Emma Hart’s newest release,The Roommate Agreement, a best friends/roommates-to-lovers’ romcom, keeps her readers in stitches as long-time friends, Shelby and Jay, figure out how to co-habitat under an agreed upon rule list while also unearthing more than friendly feelings that have laid dormant for quite awhile. 

Shelby and Jay couldn’t be more different; Shelby’s a straight-laced, obsessive/compulsive writer whose characters constantly demand her attention and Jay’s a health fanatic but more child than man when it comes to keeping things clean and knowing how to do many adult tasks. These two seem like a recipe for disaster as roommates, but, somehow, they figure things out, so much so, that their plutonic feelings become something they need to decide to go all in with or keep things the way they are, if that’s even possible. 

Emma Hart has a flair for the dramatics…for over-the-top antics…for hilarious hijinks…for witty banter…for crazy, stream of consciousness rants…for insensible conversations, and it’s Hart’s ability to tie all of those aspects together into humorous, feel good romantic comedies that always illicit a plethora of laughs, a few tears, and an abundance of sweet and steamy moments.

And inThe Roommate Agreement, Hart flexes her comedic prowess again with quirky and entertaining characters as well as a story line that readers can’t help but smile and laugh out loud at as they read it due to the amusing escapades that occur and the string of one-liners that seem to always be on point with the situations experienced.

Blurb

Dylan Locke knows that pining over the young ingenue Audrey Lind is pointless. He can’t offer her what she wants. He definitely can’t give her what she needs. Thank goodness she’s half a world away, and he doesn’t have to deal with his attraction head on.

But fate has other plans for him, and when Audrey once again lands in his path, it’s only too easy to fall back into their easy rhythm. And then their easy banter. And of course, each other’s arms.

He tells himself nothing has changed. She still wants forever, and he still thinks tomorrow is long enough. But watching her search isn’t as easy as he thought it would be, and now Dylan must figure out if he’s really the love Scrooge he professes to be or if he’s been Fate’s willing victim all along.

Excerpt

It was a completely different experience kissing Audrey, after I’d accepted the gravity of the feelings I had for her.

I knew the kiss meant nothing, that it would lead nowhere, but it felt like being bathed in radiant light.

Like I was an imprisoned man in a dark prison cell who, for one brief moment, was allowed to step outside into the sunlight. I was completely present for it. Each brush of her lips, each touch of her tongue—I memorized it all, imprinted every second into my brain so that I’d have it forever. I might still have worn shackles with no hope of freedom, but this moment mattered. It was real and divine, and I would cherish every last second of the stolen sunshine until my dying day.

I would’ve been content with only kissing, with just the shallow lifts and falls of her chest and frantic hands trying to caress and cling.

But Audrey had other ideas in mind, demonstrated by the quick work of her hands at my waist, unbuckling my belt, undoing my trousers, the slip of her hand inside the opening to stroke the outline of my very prominent erection.

“This,” she said between kisses. She pulled at the elastic waistband of my boxers and dipped her hand in to touch me directly.

I hissed at the feel of her soft hand against my hot skin.

“I want this,” she begged. “Can I have this?”

RELEASE DAY LAUNCH: REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY: THE FEEL GOOD FACTOR by Lauren Blakely

Chemistry so hot it should be illegal!

THE FEEL GOOD FACTOR is a scorching new romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely that mixes a sexy bad boy, a feisty heroine, an unbreakable lease that makes them housemates, and a kissing contest that’ll test all their resolve!

Get ready to experience one of Lauren Blakely’s hottest heroes ever! This book has it all!

✔ An inked, motorcycle-riding, dirty-talking hero with a heart of gold!

✔ A strong, quick-witted heroine who’s a kickbutt cop!

✔ Off-the-charts steam! (Warning: this book is intensely sexy!)

Get your copy of THE FEEL GOOD FACTOR now!

✮✮✮ THE FEEL GOOD FACTOR is here! ✮✮✮

That inked bad boy who’s been flirting hard with me since he rode into town? Turns out he’s my new housemate, which is one hell of a problem since our chemistry is so hot it should be illegal.

I have a fantastic family, great best friends, a job I love…and now I’m up for a promotion to police sergeant. I need total focus—not a flirty, dirty, irresistible, tattooed hottie riding into my town on his motorcycle. Can I arrest him for being too good-looking? When he kisses me senseless in the back of a waffle truck, it’s criminal, the things he makes me think about hot syrup and melted butter. One order of hot, fluffy hookup to go, please.
But the next time I see him, it’s not for our date with benefits. He’s the guy who just rented the room above my garage.
I need the rent to pay my bills, not a man like Derek, who I soon discover to be strong, caring, generous, good with kids, and kind to puppies… If I’m not careful, he’ll be moving into my heart as well as my house.

***

A no-strings-attached fling with the fiery redhead who revs my engine? Why, yes, that does sound like a delicious perk of my new job in this new town, thank you very much. I’m coming off a bad relationship, and I have zero interest in anything serious. I’ve got all the serious I need helping my sister take care of her three little kids while her husband is deployed.
Except, surprise! Perri isn’t just my future fling. Turns out she’s my sexy, sassy landlord.
A lease definitely counts as “strings attached,” and as much as I’d like to get tangled in her sheets, I can’t let myself get tangled up in a relationship.
But as soon as we put the cuffs on our escapades, I learn over late-night conversations in the kitchen, that my landlord is so much more than the sexiest woman I’ve ever met– she has a quick mind and the biggest heart.

Once I’m in, I’m all in. And to convince her that we should see where this goes, I plan on turning up the heat—and not just in the kitchen.

My Review

Perri is my kind of heroine. Her strength, her sass, and her intelligence are qualities that allow her to go head-to-head with her male co-workers. But regardless of Perri’s need for no distractions or her desire to focus solely on her career as a cop, advancing through the ranks and holding her own in a male-dominated world, she can’t help but be attracted to Derek, and when they become roommates, she can longer deny that Derek just might be worth the distraction.

The idea that there’s more about a person than his outward appearance applies for Derek. He may look like the quintessential tattooed bad boy – one who rides a motorcycle, has a filthy mouth, and a dirty mind – but there’s so much more to this driven EMT, and Lauren Blakely does a great job illustrating all of his layers and why Derek is the man Perri wants and needs to make her feel good forever. 

Roommates who become lovers can be both a blessing and a curse…I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s so damn good when you’re in the thralls of passion and it’s always a good thing when someone else supplies you with orgasms, but the fallout of this kind of situation can lead to more than just hurt feelings, and while it seemed like both Perri and Derek knew what they were getting into, anything can happen when feelings become a part of what’s supposed to be only a fling.

Any time I pick up a Lauren Blakely romantic comedy, I know I’m in for a quirky, sweet, steamy, and hilarious read and Blakely does not disappoint in her newest release, The Feel Good Factor, and let me tell you, she couldn’t have crafted two better characters as her leading man and lady than Perri and Derek. The sexual tension that surrounds them resonates from the pages and it’s clear that it’s not a matter of IF, but WHEN these two will finally give into their attraction and see just how good they can make one another feel.

Having read all of Lauren Blakely’s books, I can confidently say that The Feel Good Factor is the author’s sexiest, most passionate, most unapologetically sensual romance to date. The Feel Good Factor is my new favorite book by Lauren Blakely.

Blurb

She has a head for business and a body for sin.

He is a coach who knows how to use his equipment.

Neither is looking for love.

Should be easy, right?

Wrong.

This might be the most important game Kendall Wales and Hunter Owens have ever played where everything is on the line.

With one wrong play, they could lose it all.

Hopefully, the game clock doesn’t reach zero before it’s too late.

My Review

I’m a sports romance junkie; it doesn’t matter the sport or the level of competition…this tomboy just loves any and all story lines, whether they’re in the forefront or the background, that include the wide world of sports!

And, that’s exactly why Play Me by Kelly Elliott and Kristin Mayer was a no brainer ARC read…add to that the fact that the premise included an intelligent, driven, and more than qualified female general manager for a minor league football team who knows the game of football and has the determination to succeed…and then there’s the hero – an alpha male and a gentleman who is all kinds of swoon worthy and that makes Hunter and Kendall’s story a MUST READ!

There’s a bit of a love/hate relationship between Hunter and Kendall at the start, which makes sense given the fact that they’re stubborn as heck, and both are used to calling the shots. But it’s beyond clear from the start that these two have off-the-charts chemistry and will eventually give into the sexual tension surrounding them…it’s just what happens when lust and desire turn into something more…something scary, at least in Kendall’s mind, that they’re going to have to figure out because one playing offense and one playing defense when it comes to their hearts will never end in victory but rather something even more devastating than defeat.

There’s so much to love about Hunter Owens; he’s definitely the complete package and then some;) He can sweet and dirty talk with ease and the way his presence commands attention is something to behold. BUT, it’s Hunter’s resilience when it comes to one of the Mustang’s players that stands out above the rest. He never stopped trying to reach Josh…no matter how many times he messed up, Hunter kept his faith in Josh and some of the most powerful scenes in the story are the ones where Hunter works to understand Josh and make Josh see the player and the man he can be if he gets his act together.

Regardless of how strong and feisty Kendall is in her general manager position, she’s still a woman in a male-dominated profession, which means that every action she takes and every decision she makes is scrutinized by the Board of Directors, by her employees, and by her players. She can’t show weakness or it’s used against her, which means Kendall has to walk a very narrow line because it seems like everyone’s waiting and expecting her to fail. And it’s those burdens that made it easier for me, even though she did frustrate me a bit, to understand her perspective when it came to her feelings for Hunter and her need to prove herself in her career.

Hunter and Kendall’s parents added so much to the story line and Elliott and Mayer did an amazing job of illustrating just how important these relationships are…how much their mom and dad ground both Hunter and Kendall and help them to realize what’s most important in life, making sure that their lives are filled with more than just a job they love. Their bond is so essential to all of their lives and that idea is shown in every private discussion, every declaration of love, and every father/daughter, mother/daughter, father/son, and mother/son interaction.

Play Me is a sweet, steamy, sassy, and heartwarming story that focuses on the importance of balance in life and in love as well as the supportive bonds that are absolutely necessary for coping and enduring. Hunter and Kendall grow so much individually as well as, as a couple as they learn to adjust to changes and to revel in all of life’s precious gifts. I enjoyed this book so much, and I cannot wait for these two authors to collaborate for another romance read!

4.5 Poison Apples

Excerpt 

Meet Kendall and Hunter 

KENDALL

I quickly changed into my workout shorts and tank top and headed to the back of the apartments. As I approached the glass doors, I stopped short, cursing my luck. It was nearly ten. The place should have been deserted.

Why, cruel world? Why me? What have I done to deserve this punishment?

Hunter sat on a bench in the gym, shirtless, his profile to me. He had earbuds in and was clearly focused on his workout. Leaning forward, he curled a weight that was probably heavier than I was. The tattoos on his arm shifted with each movement, and I may have drooled a little bit. I wiped my mouth, hoping I hadn’t.

Walk away, Kendall. Walk away now.

I was rooted in place as I stared, taking in everything about him. I couldn’t take my eyes off him. After another set, he put the weights down and moved to a bar where he proceeded to do one armed pull-ups. How is that even possible? I’d never seen this done in real life. No wonder he’d been able to jump that fence at his ranch.

Hunter switched arms, and have mercy on me, I thought I might die on the spot. His abs were like a washboard. I’d have bet I could crack an egg on them.

Bang!

I dropped to me knees and lifted my hands as pain radiated through my face. My worst nightmare had just come to life. How did I walk into the glass door? The cleaners must have cleaned really well.

I was afraid to open my eyes.

From the tingles on my skin, I knew Hunter Owens was staring at me.

Kill. Me. Now.

HUNTER

Hearing a noise I turned and saw Kendall back away from the glass door and drop to the floor.

“Shit!” I whispered as I grabbed my stuff and made my way out of the gym. To my surprise,Kendall was crawling along the floor, apparently uninjured. With a smile, I leaned against the wall and watched her attempt to make her escape.

“Whatcha doing?”

She stopped, then began to run her hands along the floor as if looking for something.

“I dropped a… um… my contact! I dropped my contact.”

She was something else. One minute I wanted to strangler her, the next I wanted to drag her into my arms and kiss her.

“Your contact?”

“Yes, my contact. You know, the little things that help visually impaired people see better.”

I couldn’t help but notice she was slowly making her way back toward the apartments. She was dressed like she’d been planning to work out. Her shorts were riding up her ass just enough to cause my imagination to get the best of me.

Fuck, if she didn’t get up soon, I was going to do something I might regret. Instead, I reached for her arm and helped her up. My heart stopped when I saw that she was bleeding.

“Damn it, Kendall. Your nose is bleeding.”

She reached up, touched her nose, and then flinched. Drawing her fingers back, she stared at the blood on her hand. “Oh, wow. I hit it pretty hard.”

“Come on, let’s see if we can get that bleeding under control.”

Kendall seemed to be in shock because for the first time since I’d met her, she was silent.

She has a head for business and a body for sin.

He is a coach who knows how to use his equipment.

Neither is looking for love.

Should be easy, right?

Wrong.

This might be the most important game Kendall Wales and Hunter Owens have ever played where everything is on the line.

With one wrong play, they could lose it all.

Hopefully, the game clock doesn’t reach zero before it’s too late

RELEASE REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY: ENVY by M.N. Forgy

Accept your sin wisely, for the tasks given to earn your place are not for the weak…they’re for The Elite.

ENVY BY M.N. FORGY

AN ELITE SEVEN IS LIVE!

Keep reading to grab your copy & to enter to win a $20 gift card!!!

It was temptation that broke the sinner.

People say I have everything.
They’re wrong.
I may have looks, money, and privilege, but I don’t have the one thing that really matters, the one thing I crave: a woman with eyes only for me.
I’m searching for my woman—one who will fall to her knees because I’m her king. She’ll wear the crown of my tarnished name, and long for me when I’m not near. And when I am close, she’ll be naked across my lap, feeling the sting of my palm across her milky skin.
You could say I’m a sinner because I’d do anything to have the perfect woman—compliant to my every need and whim—and I’m envious of every couple who walks around naive to the luxury they have.

That’s why I joined The Elite, the most prestigious brotherhood in the south.
It’s the one place that will give me what I cannot have.
Only…the task assigned to me is too much for my jealous eyes.
Accept your sin wisely, for the tasks given to earn your place are not for the weak…they’re for The Elite.
Those who envy have no peace.
My name is Sabastian Westbrook.
I am Envy.

My Review

Covetous. Envious. Malevolence. Green-eyed Monster. Lustful.

Regardless of the many words used to describe it, at its most basic level, envy is a deadly sin because the desire to have what someone else has…the resentment felt due to others’ possessions is all-consuming, dictating and driving people to act in reprehensible ways and putting them on a path to self-loathing and destruction.

Despite envy’s corrupt nature, Sabastian Westbrook lives and breathes it. It controls his every action and decision. It’s the reason he’s pulled to the Elite and aspires to be a member. But here’s the thing, Sebastian’s life is filled with luxury and it’s one that other people covet, but what Sabastian most wants and desperately needs is a woman who accepts him for all that he is – his darkness, his lack of guilt, the twisted and depraved mind, which is easier said than done give how truly fucked up he is.

And here’s the thing about Sabastian – the reasons he epitomizes this particularly sin is because of the complexity of his personality. He’s conniving, manipulative, devious, depraved, obsessive, and even a bit psychotic, and while that makes him the perfect person for Envy’s story, it’s also what will freak readers out when it comes to what he’s willing to do because of his envious nature. 

Boy was this a dark and twisted story! There was so much that I didn’t see coming and some of it completely disturbed me, but I feel like that’s exactly what M.N. Forgy wanted to capture in her take on the 4th deadly sin book in The Elite Seven series, and she more than accomplished that feat.

4 Poison Apples

The Elite Seven

7 AUTHORS.
7 STORIES.
7 DEADLY SINS.

Since 1942, The Elite Seven Society have created and guided influential leaders, molding the country into something better. This society was birthed by Malcolm Benedict, II who wanted more for Americans. More wealth. More influence. More power. Some leaders have the skills, but not the influence, and that simply wasn’t fair according to Mr. Benedict. He invested his own money and time to construct a society that bred the best of the best, year after year.

But to be the best, you must be ruthless.

Good leaders make sacrifices. Sometimes the sacrifices are hard, but the rewards are plentiful. Mr. Benedict made sure to indulge these leaders with their utmost desires. A devout Catholic himself, he designed a society that rewarded his leaders with the sins that were frowned upon. If they were giving up love and happiness and joy for the betterment of the country, they deserved something in its stead.

Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust.

Choosing leaders for this society means that it takes intense focus. Only seven are to be selected, and the investments and time are showered upon the new seven chosen every four years. The predecessors of each group of seven choose people who fit the sin that will mold them into who they are needed to be in the future—what America needs them to be. This is after a detailed study of many potential candidates. The university’s acting dean behaves as a liaison for the society bringing the college applicants to the predecessors so that the selection may begin. The society members who are going out will bring forth a candidate that the society votes on and approves.

After they are chosen, the initiates are given a token and an invitation to initiation. The initiation will be a test to their character and ability to do what’s right for the betterment of the society. Once the initiates pass their test, they are discreetly branded with the mark of the society and are groomed through challenges during the course of their elite education to breed them into the influential people they were meant to be.

Once in The Elite Seven, there is no getting out. The money and power are their rewards. Should they choose to stray or break the rules, the society strips them of everything. Anything they once had will be removed. Opportunities will never arise. They will no longer have the support of the society. To this day, there have been no known occurrences of anyone from the society having to be banished. This elite group of people is what every young man and woman aspire to be a part of. While the group is a secret society, they are whispered about amongst the privileged folks in the country. Anyone who is anyone knows of the group and secretly hopes it’s their son or daughter who is selected, for good fortune is showered on the family for decades to come.

Lust: NOW LIVE

I was born with wealth, athletic ability, and looks that could melt the panties off a nun.
I had a clear path to success.
Until fate dealt me a cruel blow, leaving me empty and in need of purpose.
My only focus now is to become part of The Elite—a secret society in one of the most prestigious colleges in the world.
But everything comes at a price, and with The Elite, you have to earn your place.
Lucky for me, being sinful is in my DNA.
The only obstacle to full initiation is my task: seduce the un-seducible, the forbidden, and lure her with the sins of the flesh.
Easy for a man like me…in theory.
She started as my task, but what happens when the lines between lust and love blur, and the need for power rages war with the need for her?
Accept your sin wisely, for the tasks given to earn your place are not for the weak—they’re for The Elite.
This is my life, my chance, my legacy.
I am Rhett Masters.
I am Lust.

Pride: NOW LIVE!

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.

But who said the devil was a he?

In my world, she was out to cause havoc on all our lives.

She’ll use the one thing I care most about to control me—force me into her Elite world, filled with sin, deceit, and power. And under her spell, I’ll lead a sinister brotherhood of seven at one of the most prestigious universities in New Orleans.

Seven tasks set forth by the devil herself, promising nothing less than the forbidden fruit of power. What they don’t understand is it will all end in bloodshed and regret.

Wrath: NOW LIVE

I’m a motherless son to a father who hates me. Fury has lived and breathed in my black heart for so long, it’s a part of my soul now. The only thing that’s ever mattered to me is protecting my twin sister, Sabella, from my father’s temper.

So when the chance to join a secret society presents itself, there’s no question I’ll do whatever it takes to become a member and earn my place in the ranks of only the most Elite.

With a taste for the deviant, I’m drawn to the darkest of desires, and no one ever leaves my bed unscathed.
My task: seduce Patience Noelle, St. Augustine’s sweetheart and the mayor’s beloved daughter—then break her heart.

Sinning is what I live for, and deviance is my passion. Failing has never been an option.

But what happens when my sin becomes my curse—when destroying the only woman I’ve ever wanted is my key to protecting my sister?
Accept your sin wisely, for the tasks given to earn your place are not for the weak…they’re for The Elite.

This isn’t just my chance, it’s my legacy and reckoning.
I am Samuel Gunner.

Envy: NOW LIVE

It was temptation that broke the sinner.

People say I have everything.
They’re wrong.
I may have looks, money, and privilege, but I don’t have the one thing that really matters, the one thing I crave: a woman with eyes only for me.
I’m searching for my woman—one who will fall to her knees because I’m her king. She’ll wear the crown of my tarnished name, and long for me when I’m not near. And when I am close, she’ll be naked across my lap, feeling the sting of my palm across her milky skin.
You could say I’m a sinner because I’d do anything to have the perfect woman—compliant to my every need and whim—and I’m envious of every couple who walks around naive to the luxury they have.

That’s why I joined The Elite, the most prestigious brotherhood in the south.
It’s the one place that will give me what I cannot have.
Only…the task assigned to me is too much for my jealous eyes.
Accept your sin wisely, for the tasks given to earn your place are not for the weak…they’re for The Elite.
Those who envy have no peace.
My name is Sabastian Westbrook.
I am Envy.

Greed: Releasing April 8th

I was born into a world of darkness—one that never touched me when I was around my brother, Mason Blackwell. Leader of The Elite Seven. The thing about darkness, though, is it’s persistent. Eventually, it pushes itself into my life, penetrating my soul and leaving its stench latched to every vein, rooted inside every bone, and sunken into every pore. I thought I reached rock bottom when I fell in love with my brother’s best friend. My very own brand of drug with no comedown. My own nightmare I never woke from. But I was wrong. So very wrong. When I returned to New Orleans, I arrived as a shell of the girl they once knew. Put on a smile. Be the sweet innocent girl they remember.

I’m Evie Blackwell, hostage to my demons. Can the damned be saved?

I’ve done some unforgivable acts in my years, but I never asked for forgiveness. Nothing beats the feeling of wrapping my hand around someone’s throat and watching as their life bleeds down their cheeks. She was everything I should have stayed away from. The first night I saw her, I knew I was doomed—a slave to the girl with the pretty eyes and soft smile. The girl who turned out to be my best friend’s baby sister. I couldn’t stay away. I had to be near her, even if it meant ruining her in the process. I wanted to wreck her, so I could piece her back together—a puzzle only I knew how to solve.

I’m Micah Dixon.
Greed.
I come for everything and get everything I come for—and I want all of her. But she’s changed, and so have I.
I’m much, much worse now…

GREED By Amo Jones

Gluttony: Releasing April 22nd

My life has been served to me on a gold platter to be devoured by my silver spoon.

Money, money, and more money. It’s the backbone of the Goddard name. I’m the only son, so it’s all mine for the taking.

But sometimes money isn’t enough. I always want more, yet nothing seems to satisfy me.

My father has made sure I become a part of The Elite Seven. Where most candidates are chosen, I was given my place. Everything comes at a price, though. Luckily, I can afford any price—no one has more money than God.

The Elite Seven have their initiations. My assignment is personal and beneath me: steal a car and send a warning. It’ll hurt my best friend in the process, but we both made a pact going into this. There’s no line we won’t cross.

My task makes an ugly turn and I nearly take a life. Such a small, unimportant person—someone no one would even notice was gone. She’s a problem my money and power can easily sweep under the rug.

It’s what my father wants. It’s what my brothers want. But when she finally opens those big, innocent brown eyes, I realize I’ve found what I’ve been searching for my entire life. I don’t want my little problem to disappear…I want to keep her.

Accept your sin wisely, for the tasks given to earn your place are not for the weak—they’re for The Elite.

Money is my legacy, but I want something money can’t buy.
I am Baxter Samuel Goddard V.
I am Gluttony.

GLUTTONY by K. Webster

 

Sloth: Releasing May 13th

I don’t give a fuck.
Not about money or fame, beauty or power. I’ve had all those things since birth, and trust me, they’re a fucking snooze.
I don’t give a fuck about anyone, not even myself.
Until my father proves evil can exist in the most holy of places. For the first time ever, something like interest stirs in my soul.
He wants me to enroll at St. Augustine.
Join The Elite.
Court the virginal daughter of Archbishop Savoie.
Prove to him I’m worth the family name.
I’ll do it all.
And I’ll do it so well, no one will know what’s coming. People are so quick to underestimate the wicked and lazy.
They forget idle hands are the best tools for the devil’s work.
I am Rush Dempsey.
I am Sloth.

COVER REVEAL: WELL SUITED by Staci Hart

fb-coverreveal-banner.jpg

Well Suited, the final standalone in the Red Lipstick Coalition Series from Staci Hart, is coming May 2nd and we have the beautiful cover for you!

well-suited-illustrated-sm.jpg

Chemistry is my love language.

I’ve always been able to separate feelings from chemosignals. A shot of dopamine, a dash of serotonin, and a sprinkle of oxytocin—and bam. You’re in love.

And when egg meets sperm, you’re pregnant.

I couldn’t even be surprised as I stared down at the little blue plus sign, because I knew exactly when and how, and with whom it happened.

When: approximately five weeks ago.

Who: one night stand.

How: prophylactic malfunction.

The upside? I don’t have to go looking for a suitable mate.

Genetically, he’s the cream of the crop. His musculature is a study in symmetry and strength, his height imposing and dominant. He is a man who thrives on control and command, a man who survives on intelligence and resourcefulness. A perfect male specimen.

And the whole package is wrapped up in a flawlessly tailored suit.

I’m having this baby, and he insists we’re well-suited to have it together. And what’s worse? He wants more, in the way of love and marriage.

But love isn’t real. It’s just a product of chemistry.

And if he changes my mind about that, we’re both in trouble.

Shelli Adler has known what she wanted since she was eleven years old.

Aiden Brooks.

But Aiden has always had other ideas. After spending the early years of his life without his dad, hockey legend Lucas Brooks, Aiden is determined not to settle for anything less than true love. When he’s ready. Now he’s living the fast life of an NHL bachelor. He won’t give his heart to any one girl, but they can have his body—all night long.

The party to celebrate the start of the second half of the season was supposed to be no different from any other night. And when a stunning stranger approaches him, he can’t seem to keep his hands off her.

The next morning, she’s gone, and he’s been traded to his dad’s former team, the Nashville Assassins. All of his professional dreams are coming true, but he can’t shake the memory of the girl from that last party. He wants to see her again. Though, after moving across the country—and without knowing her name—that dream seems like a puck destined to miss the net.

For Shelli, her night with Aiden was everything she’d ever imagined it could be, and she’s sure it is all about to change for them. But for that to happen…he would have to know who she was.

The Dump was only the beginning. The Chase is worth waiting a lifetime for.

Excerpt 

Meet Kendall and Hunter 

KENDALL

I quickly changed into my workout shorts and tank top and headed to the back of the apartments. As I approached the glass doors, I stopped short, cursing my luck. It was nearly ten. The place should have been deserted.

Why, cruel world? Why me? What have I done to deserve this punishment?

Hunter sat on a bench in the gym, shirtless, his profile to me. He had earbuds in and was clearly focused on his workout. Leaning forward, he curled a weight that was probably heavier than I was. The tattoos on his arm shifted with each movement, and I may have drooled a little bit. I wiped my mouth, hoping I hadn’t.

Walk away, Kendall. Walk away now.

I was rooted in place as I stared, taking in everything about him. I couldn’t take my eyes off him. After another set, he put the weights down and moved to a bar where he proceeded to do one armed pull-ups. How is that even possible? I’d never seen this done in real life. No wonder he’d been able to jump that fence at his ranch.

Hunter switched arms, and have mercy on me, I thought I might die on the spot. His abs were like a washboard. I’d have bet I could crack an egg on them.

Bang!

I dropped to me knees and lifted my hands as pain radiated through my face. My worst nightmare had just come to life. How did I walk into the glass door? The cleaners must have cleaned really well.

I was afraid to open my eyes.

From the tingles on my skin, I knew Hunter Owens was staring at me.

Kill. Me. Now.

HUNTER

Hearing a noise I turned and saw Kendall back away from the glass door and drop to the floor.

“Shit!” I whispered as I grabbed my stuff and made my way out of the gym. To my surprise,Kendall was crawling along the floor, apparently uninjured. With a smile, I leaned against the wall and watched her attempt to make her escape.

“Whatcha doing?”

She stopped, then began to run her hands along the floor as if looking for something.

“I dropped a… um… my contact! I dropped my contact.”

She was something else. One minute I wanted to strangler her, the next I wanted to drag her into my arms and kiss her.

“Your contact?”

“Yes, my contact. You know, the little things that help visually impaired people see better.”

I couldn’t help but notice she was slowly making her way back toward the apartments. She was dressed like she’d been planning to work out. Her shorts were riding up her ass just enough to cause my imagination to get the best of me.

Fuck, if she didn’t get up soon, I was going to do something I might regret. Instead, I reached for her arm and helped her up. My heart stopped when I saw that she was bleeding.

“Damn it, Kendall. Your nose is bleeding.”

She reached up, touched her nose, and then flinched. Drawing her fingers back, she stared at the blood on her hand. “Oh, wow. I hit it pretty hard.”

“Come on, let’s see if we can get that bleeding under control.”

Kendall seemed to be in shock because for the first time since I’d met her, she was silent.

She has a head for business and a body for sin.

He is a coach who knows how to use his equipment.

Neither is looking for love.

Should be easy, right?

Wrong.

This might be the most important game Kendall Wales and Hunter Owens have ever played where everything is on the line.

With one wrong play, they could lose it all.

Hopefully, the game clock doesn’t reach zero before it’s too late

COVER REVEAL: HEARTTHROB by Robin Bielman

Heartthrob - CR Banner

He likes a challenge…

Heartthrob, the first steamy standalone in the American Royalty Series from USA Today bestselling author Robin Bielman, is coming May 7th!

heartthrob-MEDIUM.jpg

Here’s the deal: I’m the best center fielder in the major leagues. I’m also the guy who cost his team the championship game and acted very unsportsmanlike. So, when the team hires a social media manager to repair the damage to my reputation, I don’t argue. But then I meet Chloe Conrad, and I suddenly understand what people mean when they say they have an instant connection to someone. Which means I’m in serious trouble. Chloe’s a smart, sexy distraction I can’t afford, but one date can’t hurt, right? Only she turns me down. And just like that, it’s game on.

She’s sworn off love…

Finn Auprince is the hottest player in the major leagues. Look up “It Factor” in the dictionary and there’s his handsome face. He’s also my biggest client and I don’t care how easy it is to talk to him or how fun it is to manage his social media accounts, I will not give in to his charms. Then one drunken night, I tell him about my curse: all my previous boyfriends have found their soul mates while dating me. One more heartbreak, and I’ll never recover. But Finn doesn’t believe in curses—he believes in me. Professionally and personally. He sets out to prove the universe isn’t against me, and that his one true love isn’t waiting around the next corner.

The problem is…can we play the game of love and both come out on top?

BLOG TOUR REVIEW AND EXCERPT: SPACE by Penny Reid

 

Space, the second book in the all-new Laws of Physics Trilogy from Wall Street Journal and New York Times bestselling author Penny Reid, is available now!

LOP_SPACE.jpg

One week.

Private cabin.

Famous physicist.

Still an unrepentant slacker.

What’s the worst that could happen?

Mona’s meticulously planned allotment of relaxation is thrown into chaos by the unscheduled appearance of her older brother’s band of friends, including the one person she’d hoped to never face again. Abram still makes her feel entirely too much, which is one of the reasons she disappeared after their one week together. But now, trapped on a mountain of snow and things unspoken, Mona will have to find a way to coexist with Abram, chaos and all.

Laws of Physics is the second trilogy in the Hypothesis series; Laws of Physics parts 1 (MOTION) & 2 (SPACE) end with a cliffhanger.

Excerpt

“Hi—hello,” she said, stepping forward but not out of the way, drawing my attention.

She was still staring at me, her face still pale, but her eyes had turned searching instead of stunned.

“I—” She stopped herself, swallowing, her gaze dropping to the front of my coat, a cute little frown furrowing her eyebrows. In the next moment, she was pulling off the glove of her right hand. Abruptly, she shoved the ungloved fingers toward me, returning her eyes to mine. “I’m Mona.”

I suppressed my disbelief at her small action before it could break my outward mask of calm. I wasn’t calm. Just to be clear, I was the opposite of calm.

The fact that she was introducing herself to me now meant that she thought I was too stupid to figure out her lies over the last two-and-a-half-fucking years. She was arguably one of the smartest people in the world, after all. To her, people like me must seem like housebroken pets. So it shouldn’t have surprised me. But it did. The tension and tightness around my ribs reappeared, squeezing uncomfortably.

Dropping my attention to her bare hand, I pressed my lips into a tighter line, dismissing the way my pulse jumped at the sight of her wrist, the olive tone of her skin under the yellow string lights overhead. Glaring at her outstretched offering, I considered telling her to go to hell.

I considered it, but I wouldn’t.

I didn’t trust myself to speak, that was reason number one.

The other reason was harder to explain, or use as a justification, or admit to myself. Staring at her hand, I braced against a sudden flare of hunger. She might consider me a lower life-form, but that didn’t change the fact that I wanted to touch her. I wanted to touch her more than I wanted to tell her to go to hell, and that was fucking pitiful.

But there it was.

Acting on the compulsion, I lifted my right hand and tugged off the ski glove, sliding my warm palm against her much colder one. Her hand felt good in my hand, the right weight, the right size, the right texture, and I inhaled freezing air.

Mona also seemed to suck in a slow but expansive breath as our hands touched, held. This brought my eyes back to hers in time to see her lashes flutter. Pink colored her previously pale cheeks. The sound of the wailing wind, the sting of the air and frost momentarily melted away, leaving just her, her soft skin warming against mine, her beautiful face filling my vision.

So beautiful.

She really was. She was stunning. I hated that she was still so beautiful to me.

SPACE_Teaser01.jpg

My Review

The title of book two, Space, lends itself nicely to a variety of hypotheses when it comes to where Penny Reid plans to take her hero and heroine in the second part of their story, and while I’ll admit, I didn’t quite anticipate the non-linear path Mona and Abram took to be around each other again after the implosion of their would-be chemistry at the end of Motion, my theory that it would not be easy for either one of them to move forward or accept what happened the short time they spent together was proven correct, even if it wasn’t entirely resolved.

The idea of space, when it comes to both Mona and Abram, is an interesting one…for the longest time, Mona has thrived without being close to anyone, needed that distance, not only due to her issues with touching but also because even if she can articulate every concept in the world of science, when it comes to talking about herself, especially anything that’s personal, she shuts down or takes too scientific of an approach, leaving those around her more confused than enlightened.

I don’t know if I’ve ever been more frustrated with two characters for their lack of communication than I was when I was reading part two of Mona and Abram’s story. Don’t get me wrong, I understand why Abram is beyond furious with Mona, and I can’t blame Abram for both loving and hating her, but what I do take issue with is the fact that he reacted without allowing Mona to speak…without realizing how difficult it is for her to put her feelings out there…without taking two seconds to see things from her point of view, especially since he feels so strongly and deeply for her even though they had only spent 6 days together. 

The fact that Mona feels like she has to earn everything she gets stems from her family’s lack of putting her first and making her feel unloved and isolated. Her entire family seems incredibly selfish and don’t even get me started on Leo – he seriously has a warped sense of things and he needs someone to straighten his ass out! And I gladly offer my services because man did I want to nut punch him for his ridiculous comments and reasoning.

This is definitely a unique love story because even though book two is about two years from the end of book one, the total time that Abram and Mona have spent together still doesn’t add up to a complete week, not in sense that they were with each other for the entire time, and I’m sure that, that fact plays into the rather tense and cold interactions these two have throughout the course of the story.

With Time being the end of Mona and Abram’s story, I, once again, have several theories with where their journey will take them, not only because of how things ended in Space, but because, it’s something that both of them are going to need in order to work out all of the feelings they’ve kept stored away, trusting one another to not put any further space between them and hoping that there would come a time where the universe would align and they could be together. And I most certainly hope that’s the case!
