LoveWithMe - RB banner.jpg

Best friends from college. Plus-ones since med school. A chance for something new…

Love With Me, the latest in the beloved With Me In Seattle Series by New York Times Bestselling Author Kristen Proby is Live!

Love With Me AMAZON.jpg

Jace Crawford heals hearts for a living. More than that, medicine is his life. To become the leading cardiothoracic surgeon on the west coast, he’s made sacrifices. No social life. He barely has time to sleep. Love? Forget about it. But when everything goes horribly wrong on his table, and he unexpectedly loses a patient, Jace is suspended from work.

When a man has nothing but his job, what does he do when that’s gone?

Joy Thompson collects unwanted strays. A dog with one eye, a three-legged cat, a bird that swears like a sailor? All part and parcel of her veterinary business. It helps pass the time.

Until Jace calls out of the blue to ask her out on a real date. Spending extra time with him is dangerous. Her feelings for her best friend have always been stronger than simple companionship. If she gets attached, what happens when he goes back to work and leaves her behind?

But as the weeks progress, falling for each other is inevitable. This time, Jace’s heart is the one that will need fixing before both of them end up broken.

About Kristen

Kristen was born and raised in a small resort town in her beloved Montana. In her mid-twenties, she decided to stretch her wings and move to the Pacific Northwest, where she made her home for more than a dozen years.

During that time, Kristen wrote many romance novels and joined organizations such as RWA and other small writing groups. She spent countless hours in workshops, and more mornings than she can count up before the dawn so she could write before going to work. She submitted many manuscripts to agents and editors alike, but was always told no. In the summer of 2012, the self-publishing scene was new and thriving, and Kristen had one goal: to publish just one book. It was something she longed to cross off of her bucket list.

Not only did she publish one book, she’s since published close to thirty titles, many of which have hit the USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists. She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series.

Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana with their two pugs and two cats.

BLOG TOUR REVIEW AND EXCERPT: 4th and Girl by Max Monroe

From the New York Times bestselling author of Tapping the Billionaire comes a hilarious and sexy standalone about fate, chance, and one heck of an epically awkward meet-cute.

4th & Girl, an all-new standalone romantic comedy in the Mavericks Tackle Love series from Max Monroe, is available now!

4th-&-girl-(cover).jpg

I’m Leo Landry, one of the best shutdown cornerbacks in the nation, and the New York Mavericks’ first round draft pick.

If James Bond spent his days running drills and his nights shutting out quarterbacks, he’d dream about being me. But professional football is on a whole other level from college, and as the new guy, I’ve got everything to prove.

No problem.

All I’ve got to do is focus, right?

Too bad life’s got other plans.

Blond hair, long lashes, and criminal blue eyes, there’s a pint-sized bombshell that I can’t stop thinking about.

I don’t even know her name, but she’s completely screwing up my game plan.

It’s too late to turn back now though. I have my eye on the prize, and I won’t settle for anything less.

4th down and only one goal in my sightsthis pretty little mystery girl.

Good thing I’m at my best when the pressure’s on.

My Review

I have absolutely adored Max Monroe’s Mavericks Tackle Love series, and their newest release, 4th & Girl, complements the rest of the books extremely well while also adding its own romantic comedy uniqueness, and let me tell you, the way that Leo Landry and Gemma Holden first meet and then the unexpected way fate steps in to reconnect these two makes for not only a great story for them to share with their kids if they make it that for but it also leaves one heck of a lasting impression with readers.

As a rookie defenseman for the Mavericks, Leo Landry’s focus should be 100% on football, but ever since his encounter with a certain ‘pint-sized bombshell,’ he’s been a bit preoccupied with tracking her down and claiming her as his own even though he knows nothing about her and has only shared one rather awkward and hilarious encounter that they will not soon forget.

Leo is a quite book boyfriend; there’s nothing fake or arrogant about him. He’s a kickass football player who also knows that teamwork and hard work are two essential components of being successful, so while he has a lot to prove to his coaches, to his teammates, to the Mavericks’ fans, and to himself, he does so by simply being the gifted, determined, and conscientious athlete that he’s always been.

Gemma is definitely my favorite kind of heroine. She’s quirky, awkward, and absolutely adorkable, and those are the characteristics that make her unforgettable for not only readers but also for the hero, Leo Landry. And as much as Gemma seems to be lost with what she wants to do with her life, the more she shares her passion of music with Leo, the clearer it becomes that, that is the path she should take and Leo won’t stop until she goes for her dream knowing that he will have her back and stand behind her the entire way, no matter what.

The secondary characters, especially Alma and Abby, add to the level of hilarity found in the story and help provide comic relief in tenuous situations, calling the main characters out on their shit and putting things in quite a unique perspective when it’s necessary.

The awkward situations, unexpected encounters, over-the-top reactions, and sexy dalliances that occur throughout 4th & Girl make for romantic comedy gold and allow readers to truly see who Leo and Gemma are and why their passion for each other and for their careers are worth the risk.

Excerpt

In my opinion, in football, there isn’t a more badass position than shutdown cornerback.

What makes my position so badass? Well, I have to be agile and quick and have a natural instinct for the game. My footwork has to be on point, and my speed has to be unmatched. I have to cover, read, adjust, and break on the ball. This position, my position, is one of the biggest anchors of pass defense plays.

What does all of that football lingo mean?

It means I’m vital.

It means I’m the guy who will stop a quarterback’s touchdown pass.

I’m the man who won’t let the best wide receivers in the league get their greedy hands on the ball.

Last year, my college record was nearly unheard of. I held opposing QBs to a 47.9 rating when they tried to throw the ball to the man I was covering.

Basically, I was the badass in one of the toughest positions in the league.

And now, as one of the newest first-round draft picks for the New York Mavericks, I’m the guy with everything to prove.

I can either be the big hero, or I can be the guy who loses the fucking game.

My reputation is on the line, my nearly flawless career in college taunting me in the background to live up to it, and if there’s one thing I need to do, it’s focus.

But life’s got other plans.

I should have my mind on my money—and my money on my mind—but the only thing I can seem to think of these days is the mystery girl I met at one of the team’s very first group activities.

Blond hair.

Long lashes.

Criminally blue eyes.

She’s petite and awkward, and she’s completely fucking up the plan.

But it’s too late to second-guess.

And it’s sure as fuck too late to go back.

Once my mind is fixated on something, there’s no stopping me.

I have my eye on the bombshell prize, and I won’t settle for anything less than victory.

Good thing I’m at my best when the pressure’s on.

BLOG TOUR REVIEW AND EXCERPT: SACRED SINS by CD Reiss

sins duet back up FB banner .jpg

“Deliciously shocking.” ―Laurelin Paige, New York Times Bestselling Author

Sacred Sins, the stunning conclusion to the Sins Duet by New York Times bestselling author CD Reiss, is LIVE!

sacred-sins-reboot-400.jpg

You know what they say about family.

Blood is thicker than water.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

A house divided cannot stand.

Margie is the keeper of her family’s secrets.

Six sisters and one brother.

Billions in assets.

Generations of malfeasance.

And one heartbreaking secret kept by three people.

Margie.

Her father, Declan.

And Drew—the man she loves.

You know what they say about secrets.

Three can keep them if two are Drazens.

There’s never been a Drazen who went down without a fight. And there’s never been one who didn’t fight for love.

My Review

If readers are familiar with CD Reiss’ sinfully sexy and deceptive worlds, they know that Reiss crafts story lines that push the limits of sanity as well as righteousness and the plot never moves forward in a cohesive manner; there are always twists and turns that force new actions to be taken. And when it comes to the heart, preparation needs to be made in order to understand and handle the fracturing that will occur as Reiss’ characters’ lives come undone and ever so slowly move towards an ending that may leave them bent but never broken. And this is the exact story readers get in the Sins Duet.

Margie Drazen has been a bit of a conundrum to me since I met her, and while not being able to completely figure out a character sometimes can irritate me to the point where I take issue him/her, with Margie, I NEVER felt that way. I LOVE that she is a multilayered heroine and that the complexity of her personality and the many personas she takes on in order to cope, in order to endure, in order to maintain are not easily identifiable. To me, that’s what makes Margie such a dynamic character…it’s what allows me to unravel all that she is, not only behind the layers of her character but also who she is beneath the secrets and lies that are slowly are unearthed as her duet begins and continues.

For the longest time, Margie has been the matriarch of the Drazen family – there is nothing she wouldn’t do for her siblings, even if it meant sacrificing herself. This self-imposed position has also forced her to follow rigid rules and be perceived as an emotionless warrior – a queen who rules with an iron fist and fights fiercely for those she loves, even if it’s never truly known if there’s a heart within the beast.

In Sacred Sins, Margie finds herself in an unwelcome situation – one that places her in the spotlight and shines down on the sins and secrets of her past, but what that means for her present and the future that she now desperately wants with the man she desperately needs remains unclear because one way or another, a payment must be made and the cost and the toll that it takes on Margie will either force her to lose everything that defines who she is or reaffirm the woman within…the woman who continues to get up…continues to keep fighting, even when a loss seems inevitable. And I have to say that despite the maelstrom that comes along with the sinful truths shared, I never doubted that Margie would prevail…how intact she would be I didn’t quite know, but I always felt that she would stand her ground…that she would battle back from the depths as long as, in the end, she got to be who she wanted to be and she was able to share her life with the one person who has owned her body and soul from the start.

A happily ever after doesn’t happen to a woman like Margie because she is not the type to claim something that she hasn’t worked for, but let me be the first to assure her that CD Reiss makes Margie earn every minute of happiness…every affectionate embrace…every empowered action. But while Margie does not remain unscathed once her sins are revealed, she does show what she’s made of…what a Drazen is made of, which poignantly illustrates exactly why she deserves it all.

SACRED SINS DUET READ NOW.jpg

Excerpt

“Drew?” I said into the darkness. “Indiana Andrew McCaffrey, stop fucking with me. I’m in no mood.”

My eyes adjusted. I stepped farther in, letting my hand drift over the counter edge. They’d changed it to cheap flipper granite. The cabinets were presswood veneer. But still, I touched them as if they were original Douglas fir and my name was Cin.

“Margaret.”

His voice didn’t surprise me. I didn’t jump ten feet or stiffen with shock when I saw his silhouette against the doorframe. Hearing him was a relief. The binds keeping my shit together weren’t unknotted completely, but they loosened. I hadn’t felt tense in a long time because I was so used to being in a state of taut readiness.

“Indy.”

His stage name came from my lips without a thought.

“I’m glad you came.”

Sixteen years, and he was glad I came. Fuck him.

About CD Reiss

CD Reiss is a New York Times bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn’t pick up she’s at the well hauling buckets.

Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master’s degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere but it did give her a big enough ego to write novels.

She’s frequently referred to as the Shakespeare of Smut which is flattering but hasn’t ever gotten her out of chopping that cord of wood.

If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.

Excerpt

He closes the distance between us swiftly, grabbing my face roughly between his hands. He kisses me quickly, desperately. It’s a bruising kind of kiss. One that leaves a path of flames in its wake.

He lets me go and steps away. “I had to kiss you before I couldn’t for the rest of the evening,” he admits.

I touch my lips where they still tingle from his.

He flashes a cocky smile, pleased with himself for rendering me speechless.

“I know I’m a good kisser, but I didn’t know it was possible to stun you into silence. I’m impressed with myself.”

I snap out of my revelry. “I hope you go home and write about it in your diary.”

“Oh, I will.” He smirks.

“Is it pink and sparkly?”

“Of course—I even hot glued my name in sequins on it and the first page is marked with Future Mr. Mia Hayes.”

Title: Knights Rising
Series: Rumblin’ Knights #1
Author: Bella Jewel
Genre: Romance
Release Date: November 26, 2018

Blurb

Somethings are best left alone. 

I know this. I should stand by it. 

That would be the safest option for me. 

But, well, I just can’t do that. 

Because the thing I should leave alone…is everything.

It is the reason I breathe. 

It is the reason I keep putting one foot in front of the other. 

I need help. I know it, but nobody wants to step up and give that to me. 

The case is too hard. 

There is nothing they can do. 

And then I meet them. Bikers. The Knight Brothers. 

They can give me the help I need. They have the resources. 

But there is one problem that lies amongst all of this. 

Lincoln Knight. 

I can’t stand him. 

I loathe him. 

I despise him. 

And yet, he’s determined to help me. 

He won’t take no for an answer. 

And if I’m being honest…I need him.

But working with him, spending time with him, it’s the last thing I want to do. 

But…I have no choice. 

And I know it. 

This most definitely won’t end well.

RELEASE BLITZ: ONLY LOVE by Melanie Harlow

ONLY LOVE RB BANNER.jpg

Heartfelt, beautiful and sexy!”

Lauren Blakely, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Only Love, an all-new sexy standalone romance from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow is available now!

Only Love AMAZON.jpg

A gorgeous former Marine with a tortured soul.

The beautiful, compassionate therapist living next door.

A meddlesome grandma determined to get them together.

I was expecting a proposal on my birthday, and I got dumped instead.

How could I have been so clueless?

Grams knew exactly how to distract me.

The “cute boy next door” who’s been helping her with yard work clearly needs a little therapy. Who better to call than her newly single therapist granddaughter?

She even fakes dementia to get me to visit, and now that I’m here she’s doing everything in her power to throw us together.

Not that I’m complaining. Ryan is the sexiest man I’ve ever met–I mean the full package, from the chiseled jaw to the massive shoulders to the rippling abs. (And yes, his package is full, and he knows exactly how to deliver it.) He makes me want to get out of my head and follow my heart. He makes me want to take chances I never thought I’d take.

He also makes me want to take my clothes off. A lot.

But he’s moody and challenging–one minute he’s an open book, and the next he’s completely closed off. He holds me like he’ll never let go, but insists he wants to be alone.

Some wounds are so deep, only love can heal them.

How can I convince him to let me try?

RELEASE REVIEW: ReWined, Volume I by Kim Karr

ReWined, Volume I by Kim Karr is available NOW!

“ReWined was such an adorable & funny & sexy & exciting Enemy-Wine-Families-Romance!!! Run to your nearest amazon for your own Tyler – this one is MINE!!!!”

BJ’s Book Blog

Amazon ⇢ https://amzn.to/2OTaUoD

ONLY 99c or FREE with #KindleUnlimited

From New York Times bestselling author Kim Karr comes a brand new dramatic comedy of forbidden love and second chances.

Life is short. Time is fast.
No replay. No rewind.
That’s my motto.
And there’s nothing wrong with that.

That is until the day I turn 27 and everything changes. Suddenly, I’m expected to…

1) Move back to my hometown.
2) Stop partying.
3) Take over my family’s winery.
4) And get married.

Wait!
What?
That last one I didn’t see coming.

I’m Tyler Justin Ryan Holiday III, Northern California’s most eligible bachelor, and I don’t do monogamy. It’s just a wild guess but I’d have to say that monogamy isn’t going to do me, either.

My grandmother won’t listen to a word I have to say on the matter. And since the old battle-axe is still at the helm of my legacy, it’s not like I can blow her off. However, when she tells me whom she thinks will make the perfect bride, and then subsequently drops me at said bride’s door, I nearly lose my f*cking mind. Sure, dear old granny tries to sugarcoat the situation with a lot of glitz and glamour, but there’s no turning ash into fairy dust.

Paris Elizabeth Hollis Fairchild isn’t only the ultimate party girl and terrible wife material, she’s also my sworn enemy. We loathe each other. We have good reason. And it isn’t because our families are competitors.

Needless to say, I’m not surprised when the she-devil slams the door in my face—but it still pisses me off.

Apparently, she doesn’t know me as well as she thinks.
Doesn’t understand I’ve changed.
Doesn’t realize her rejection only spurs me on—makes me want to tame her, claim her, make her mine.

Then again, at 27 I’m no longer a lovesick teenager. I’m a grown-ass man with a big ego and an even bigger…never mind.

Paris says she doesn’t want to know how big I am, in any sense of the word.
I don’t believe her.
Either way, it doesn’t matter.

She’s a challenge I can’t resist. A temptation I can’t ignore. The woman I must have. We haven’t spoken in ten years but mark my words, she and I will be doing that and a hell of a lot more—very soon.

Life is short. Time is fast.
Replay. Rewind.
That’s my new motto.
And there’s no sugarcoating that.

***This is volume 1 in the Party Ever After series. Volume 2 will be released December 9th and Volume 3 on December 23rd.***

My Review

Since his teenage years, Tyler Justin Ryan Holiday III has lived his life in fast forward, focusing solely on getting high and getting laid, but on the day of his 27th birthday, Tyler’s forced to hit pause and reassess, not only how he’s been living, but also just how much he’s neglected his legacy, and with what new insights his step grandmother gives him about the company as well as what it’s going to take to keep California Jane afloat, Tyler has to concede that his new motto needs to be rewind and replay. And his trip down memory lane starts with none other than Paris

Elizabeth Hollis Fairchild.

While it’s unclear what happened between Tyler and Paris over a decade ago, what is clear is that they have unfinished business and unresolved feelings for each other, which makes any business arrangement between these two a battle of wits, wills, and sexual tension. But there are also other variables to contend with and other people to consider, making this potential partnership mean so much more than the legally binding contract dictates and giving both Tyler and Paris either a way to let go of one another once and for all or grab hold of each other and never let go again.

I do have to admit…I didn’t particularly care for Tyler at the beginning; he’s definitely the quintessential rich playboy who seems to not care about anything but himself, but the further into the story I read, the more I started to like him, but I’m still not totally convinced, which means I need volume 2 ASAP!

ReWined Vol. 1 lays the foundation of Tyler and Paris’ story, providing them an opportunity to reconnect and perhaps enter into a mutually beneficial relationship – one that has the potential to either heal their heartache or further fracture what they once shared. There’s still so much for these two to individually sort through and their past has yet to be discussed or resolved, so I know that there are more hurdles for them to overcome, meaning that Tyler and Paris are going to have to work together for them to stand a chance at keeping their companies and their relationship on track.

RELEASE BLITZ: Good Gone Bad by Giana Darling

Title: Good Gone Bad
Series: The Fallen Men Series #3
Author: Giana Darling
Genre: Erotic Romance
Release: November 23, 2018

They say one action doesn’t define you.

I killed a man. Stabbed him in the neck and licked the blood off my lips after I did it.

Still, one action doesn’t define you.

I could have called anyone. My father, the Prez of The Fallen MC, our family lawyer, my best friend, Lila, or my brother, King.

I didn’t.

Instead, I called Lionel Danner, the police officer renowned for taking down the Nightstalkers MC. The man who had been my father’s arch nemesis for decades. The man who hated everything I stood for. A man who had disappeared from my life without explanation three years ago.

I called him.

And maybe one action doesn’t define you, but killing a bad man and calling in the good changed my life and it sure as hell changed his.

The third book in the Fallen Men Series. A standalone featuring Harleigh Rose and Officer Lionel Danner.

Giana Darling is a Canadian romance writer who specializes in the taboo and angsty side of love and romance. She currently travels Europe with her best friend, an overstuffed suitcase and a mission to eat and drink as much French, Italian and Greek food as possible. While lounging on white beaches, drinking sangria on patios and sleeping in villas, she is hard at work on Cosima Lombardi’s dark romance, The Enslaved Duet, coming summer 2018!

RELEASE BOOST REVIEW, EXCERPT, AND GIVEAWAY: In the Land of Gods and Monsters by Carmen Jenner

Title: In the Land of Gods and Monsters
Series: Gods and Monsters Duet #1
Author: Carmen Jenner
Genre: Dark Romance
Cover Design: Be Designs
Photo: Sara Eirew
Release Date: November 20, 2018
Blurb
In the land of Gods and Monsters, she was a toy. A plaything. A pet.

His pet.

Taken, stolen, beaten, used.

Pet remembers nothing before his touch, and afterward, she craves nothing more.

Sinful and merciless, Ares is her God now. He alone says when to beg, when to come, and when to kneel, but he never said anything about leaving.

Review

In the land of gods and monsters, she’s just one more kidnapped woman…one more beauty preyed upon…one more slave to break, punish, and play with…one more pet to do her master’s bidding regardless of the humiliation, the pain, or the manipulation used in her submission.

In the land of gods and monsters, she’s a pawn, a plaything, a lesser being, and she lives and breathes that inferiority every day and the fact that her body submits to her master makes her feel even more insignificant because there’s not one aspect of her imprisonment in her control, even the harsh release she feels every time he comes to play. But the hardest thing for pet to wrap her head around is the idea that, at times, he manipulates her body and her mind like a monster – one meant to feed on the torture of another, but then there are other times when he seems to be a god among men, complicating her perception of him and forcing her to feel things for him that she should have no desire to feel because, more often than not, he treats her like a whore…like a worthless vessel…like a miscreant who is meant to subject to his every whim or suffer the consequences of her decision.

Carmen Jenner allows readers to trace the path of Pet’s forced submission…of when she succumbs to the deviously demented mixture of pain and pleasure…every bruise, every slap, every spanking, and every venomous word sends Pet spiraling into a dark oblivion, but it’s the sweet torture that comes with the pain that has her follow her Master’s commands with only small bursts of fight, which means by the time he’s finished with her, she’s not going to know a lot more than just her name…her complete identity will be defined by her Master, which is a scarier situation than the one she struggles and suffers through because if she loses herself fully to Ares and allows him to not just use every part of her body as he deems fit then even if she does reclaim her freedom, she will only be a shell of the woman she was, which leaves her no better off than she is as Ares’ captive and submissive.

The fact that readers are privy to both Pet and her Master’s perspectives is as enlightening as it is mind boggling. There’s a bigger force at play in this story, but it’s not completely developed yet, so there are gaps in the information needed to truly comprehend the whys and hows of all that takes place.

I’ll admit that I didn’t really understand why the plot took a twist that it did. There was so much to deal with just between the two main characters so adding further problems to an already complicated dynamic felt unnecessary. I get that it does shed a bit of light on Pet’s Master’s past, but for the most part, it distracted me from the main story line.

Besides the deviation from the plot that I struggled with, I’m intrigued to see where Carmen Jenner takes these two characters, especially where she leaves them at the end of book 1. I’m not sure if the gods or monsters will win in the end, or if that battle isn’t the one I should be addressing because there just might be a potential victor that no one saw coming because they never bothered to look too closely.

4 Poison Apples

Excerpt

“You’re behaving like a brat,” he says through clenched teeth. “Is that the thanks I get for providing you with a bed and blankets?”

“Take them back! I don’t want them. I want out of this room.”

“You want out of this room?” Ares grabs my face with one rough hand. He leans in, his warm breath skating across my ear as his stubble grazes my cheek. “Then you have to earn it. And trust me, your bratty antics aren’t doing that.”

He releases me and walks away, pressing his hand into the keypad to unlock the door. Without another word, he leaves.

I launch off the bed and throw myself at the glass wall. He doesn’t look at me, and I know I’ll pay for my behavior later. I’ll pay this tithe in pain and bruises, in welts on my body, and in pleasure that he steals from me. For now, I circle my room like a caged animal, because that is what I am.

Caged.

I scream, bang my fists on the glass, rip my blanket from the bed and throw it at the wall. He’s almost at the staircase. I know he hears me. I know he’s keeping a tally in his head of all the things I will be punished for. Well, fuck him. I can’t do this anymore.

He’s thought of everything. All the ways I could harm him—or myself. He’s removed them all.

All except one.

I walk toward the reinforced steel door, take a deep breath, and smash my head against it. Pain, white-hot and searing, reverberates through my skull, so hard that my eyes roll in their sockets. Blood trickles down my forehead. I’m woozy, nauseous. Bile rises in my gut as if it were acid. I rear back and slam my head into the metal, harder this time.
