Legacy of Lies by Tara Leigh

Releasing October 15

Blurb

Money. Status. Wealth. Power.

I believed I was entitled to all of it.

My legacy.

Jolie Chapman.

I thought I was entitled to her, too.

My love.

In a scandal that set our families against each other, I lost.

My legacy.

My love.

Everything.

I was heir to a throne built on lies, my crown forged from corruption.

Stripped of everything I’d been raised to consider my birthright.

Including my princess—who wasn’t mine, after all.

I’ve spent the past decade rebuilding my life, on my own terms.

Money. Status. Wealth. Power.

They’ve been earned.

Now I’ve returned to Manhattan for redemption, too.

Jolie wasn’t supposed to be here.

… And I wasn’t supposed to care.

Screw me once, shame on you.

Screw me twice—

Who am I kidding? I don’t believe in second chances anymore.

——————

The LEGACY OF LIES series novella, THRONE OF LIES, coming October 11th!

Throne of Lies

Prequel novella to Legacy of Lies – Releasing October 11

Blurb

I was called a prodigal son.

A scion of Midas.

I believed it. Why wouldn’t I?

Everything my father touched turned to gold.

The proof was all around me.

Luxury cars.

Elite schools.

A billion-dollar business.

Even my girlfriend, a Park Avenue Princess.

I reigned from a throne of lies.

My fall from grace… wasn’t graceful at all.

Tara Leigh writes steamy contemporary romance featuring tortured heroes worth lusting after and the women they didn’t know they needed. She attended Washington University in St. Louis and Columbia Business School in New York, and worked on Wall Street and Main Street before “retiring” to become a wife and mother. When the people in her head became just as real as the people in her life, she decided to put their stories on paper. Tara currently lives in Fairfield County, Connecticut with her husband, children and fur-baby, Pixie.

RELEASE BOOST AND REVIEW: The Mistakes I’ve Made by J.L. Berg

Title: The Mistakes I’ve Made
Series: By the Bay
Author: J.L. Berg
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 10, 2018
Amazon Release Date: September 12, 2018
Blurb
From USA Today bestselling author J.L. Berg comes an enemies to lovers stand-alone romance.

I was waiting for my life to start…

After forgoing college to help run the family business, I’d given up on the idea of a different life, and finally made peace with something a bit simpler.

That is, until Leilani Hart showed up.

There is nothing simple about about the hotel heiress and the minute our eyes meet, I know my carefree existence is a thing of the past. She has big ideas for our sleepy town and the motel she plans on transforming into a spa destination for the rich and famous.

She’ll have to go through me first.

From our first meeting, we’re like fire and ice and I can’t help but wonder what it would be like to pin her down and melt some of those frigid layers right off.

But, my town comes first. Or, at least, that’s what I keep telling myself. Unfortunately, my heart and head don’t seem to agree and soon, I don’t know where my loyalties lie.  I’ve never believed in love, but for her, I just might be willing to risk it all.

Even if it means falling… for the enemy.

My Review

The thing that I’ve learned about J.L. Berg’s storytelling since I was introduced to her stories is that each and every one has heart, has powerful emotions, and has lessons to be learned through the characters’ experiences and conflicts. There hasn’t been one that hasn’t resonated in some way with me due to the relatability of the story line or the realistic presentation of her characters’ concerns and/or problems, and in Berg’s newest release, The Mistakes I’ve Made, I’m, once again, struck by how her characters’ struggles speak to me and make me hope against hope that the hero and heroine will find a way through the maelstrom and come out of it changed in ways that allow them to move forward instead of focusing on the past.

Despite the fact that Leilani (Lani) Hart, a hotel heiress, and Taylor Sutherland,

a business man in the small island town of Ocracoke, North Carolina, seemed to have lived very different lives and don’t appear to share a common vision about what’s to be done with the renovation of Ocracoke’s only hotel, they do manage to find common ground as the story progresses, proving that attraction and chemistry can easily overshadow first impressions and preconceived notions.

It’s easy to understand what motivates Lani’s actions and what she hopes to gain by overseeing the hotel’s revamping, but what’s also clear is that her father has never truly seen her as anything other than someone beneath him, and I don’t see that changing despite her best efforts. Readers can’t help but feel for this lonely girl who just wants her father’s love and acceptance, and even though that doesn’t seem to be something that will happen, the fact that Lani finds a new path to take during her time in Ocracoke, we’re hopeful that the connection she seeks can be found in people who see her for the amazing woman that she’s always been.

Taylor may resent the fact that he was never able to leave his small hometown and adventure out on his own, but he’s made the best of it by being a successful businessman and quite the ladies’ man as well, and even though he sees Lani and her father’s company as an enemy of Ocracoke, when he’s chosen to keep an eye on the pretty interloper and be the go between to ensure that Hart International’s intentions meet the wants and needs of the townspeople, these two ‘enemies’ become friends and soon give into the sexual tension that has surrounded them since Lani set foot on the small town island.

The title itself also lends to symbolic meanings, but even after finishing the text, I’m still not quite sure whose mistakes are in question and who deserves the forgiveness that could be obtained…but perhaps that Berg’s intention, which means that all readers are on point in their assessment of who’s to learn and who’s to forgive.

SALES BLITZ: Sweet Home Series by Tillie Cole

Sweet Home Series

The Sweet Home series is on sale for only 99c right now and the whole series is moving to Kindle Unlimited.

Sweet Home #1

At age twenty, Molly Shakespeare knows a lot.

She knows Descartes and Kant.

She knows academia and Oxford.

She knows that the people who love you leave you.

She knows how to be alone.

But when Molly leaves England’s grey skies behind to start a new life at the University of Alabama, she finds that she has a lot to learn — she didn’t know a summer could be so hot, she didn’t know students could be so intimidating, and she certainly didn’t know just how much the folks of Alabama love their football.

When a chance encounter with notorious star quarterback, Romeo Prince, leaves her unable to think of anything but his chocolate-brown eyes, dirty-blond hair and perfect physique, Molly soon realises that her quiet, solitary life is about to dramatically change forever…

Mature New Adult novel — contains adult content, highly sexual situations and mature topics. Suited for ages 18 and up*

Sweet Rome #1.5

You met Romeo Prince in the Amazon & USA Today bestselling novel, Sweet Home. Now hear the story from his lips: unbarred, uncensored, and raw to the bone.

It makes me laugh when I hear folks think Molly and I rushed into things too fast, spouting that we couldn’t possibly have felt what we did for each other in such a short space of time. I say, how the hell would they know? We made it, didn’t we? She became my whole life, didn’t she? And as for my folks not being real, being true? Tell that to me aged ten, eleven, twelve—damn, all my bastard life—when I was never enough, when I was beaten until I bled for being too good at football and not being everything they’d dreamed: the perfectly dutiful son. Tell that to thousands of kids around the world getting wailed on by asshole parents for whatever stupid reason; tell them evil don’t exist in their eyes.

Fuck Romeo and Juliet. This is the story of me and my girl, from my lips. No mushy sentiment, no cheese, just the plain, hard truth, and, because I’m feeling generous, I’m going to let you in on more of our story too.

Sweet Rome is a New Adult Companion Novel to Sweet Home—contains adult content, sexual situations, and mature topics. Suited for ages 18 and up.

Sweet Fall #2

From the USA Today Best Selling Sweet Home Series, comes Sweet Fall; a tale of heartache, beating the odds and finding strength in the most unlikeliest of places.

We all have secrets.

Secrets well buried.

Until we find the one soul who makes the burden of such secrets just that little bit easier to bear.

Lexington “Lexi” Hart is a senior at the University of Alabama. Surrounded by her best friends, her loving family and having fulfilled her life-long dream of making the Crimson Tide cheer squad, everything is going exactly as she always dreamed it would. But beneath her happy exterior, demons lurk, threatening to jeopardize everything Lexi has worked to achieve. When events in her life become too much to cope with, Lexi finds herself spiraling down into the realm of her biggest fear. Lexi falls hard, victim once again to the only thing that can destroy her and, on the way, finds herself falling straight into the dangerous tattooed arms of a guy from the wrong side of the tracks.

Austin Carillo, starting Wide Receiver for the Alabama Crimson Tide, must get picked in this year’s NFL draft. He needs it. His brothers need it. Most importantly, his mother desperately needs it. Brought up in a world where the poor are forgotten, the sick are left to fend for themselves and no hero miraculously appears to pull you out of hell, Austin had no other choice but to make a living on the wrong side of the law—until football offered Austin the break to get his life back on track. But when a family tragedy drags him back into the clutches of the gang he believed he had left far behind, Austin finds himself falling. Falling back into criminal ways and falling deep into a suffocating darkness. Until a troubled yet kindred spirit stumbles across his path, where Austin quickly finds he is falling for a young woman, a young woman who might just have the power to save him from his worst enemy: himself.

Can two troubled souls find a lasting peace together? Or will they finally succumb to the demons threatening to destroy them?

New Adult/Contemporary Romance novel—contains adult content, sexual situations and mature topics. Suited for ages 18 and up.

Can be read as a stand-alone novel.

Sweet Hope #3

From the USA Today Bestselling Sweet Home Series, comes Sweet Hope.

My name is Ally Prince and I’ve always been unlucky in love. I don’t know why, I just always… have.

When all of my best friends were falling for their soul mates in College, I was left behind. I was Ally, the pretty cousin of superstar quarterback, Romeo Prince. I was Ally, the best friend to the most amazing group of girls I’ve ever known—a title I loved, but one I became tired of ‘just’ being. And I was Ally, the one on which they could all rely.

But to me, I was Ally, the girl with the heart no one had claimed… And I was, Ally, the girl, who underneath it all, was heart-breakingly lonely.

I LOVE love; the thought of it, the nervous excitement of falling for Mr. Right, the desire of someone becoming my entire world… of me becoming theirs. I’ve always wanted passion, heart-stopping, epic, life-changing romance… I’ve always wanted the fairytale… I’ve always wanted it all.

It just never seemed like I would get it.

For the past few years I’ve thrown myself into my career as a museum curator. I’m the best of the best, the person every museum wants to hire, so when an opportunity came up to move to Seattle, I jumped at the chance. My cousin and my best friend lived in Seattle and I needed a change.

I needed a new beginning.

I wasn’t expecting to meet anyone in the Emerald City. I wasn’t expecting to work closely with the reclusive new sculptor my all-important gallery design was centered around. And I certainly wasn’t expecting to fall for him… heart-stopping, epic, life-changing love…
My real life fairytale come true.

But, like in every fairytale, there’s a villain, a dark and tortured soul… I just didn’t know that the villain and the hero in my story would end up being one and the same.

New Adult Romance Novel—contains adult content, sexual situations and mature topics. Suited for ages 18 and up.

Sweet Soul #4

One shy lost soul. One silent lonely heart. One love to save them both.

Life has never been easy for twenty-year-old Levi Carillo. The youngest of the Carillo boys, Levi is nothing like his older brothers. He isn’t dark in looks or intimidating to everyone he meets. In fact, he’s quite the opposite. Haunted by a crippling shyness and the tragic events of his past, Levi spends his days with his head buried in his books or training hard for his college football team. Too timid to talk to girls, Levi stays as far away as possible and completely on his own… until he saves the life of a troubled pretty blonde, a troubled pretty blonde that might just be the exception to his rule.

Elsie Hall is homeless. Or at least that’s all anyone ever sees. Every day is a fight for survival on the cold streets of Seattle, every day a struggle to find food and keep warm. Alone in life—a life that’s dangerous and cruel—her will to keep going is an ever-losing battle. In her world of silence, Elsie has given up hope that her life will contain anything but constant struggle and pain… until the beautiful boy she has severely wronged comes to her rescue at precisely the right time.

Tillie Cole hails from a small town in the North-East of England. She grew up on a farm with her English mother, Scottish father and older sister and a multitude of rescue animals. As soon as she could, Tillie left her rural roots for the bright lights of the big city.

After graduating from Newcastle University with a BA Hons in Religious Studies, Tillie followed her Professional Rugby player husband around the world for a decade, becoming a teacher in between and thoroughly enjoyed teaching High School students Social Studies before putting pen to paper, and finishing her first novel.

Tillie has now settled in Austin, Texas, where she is finally able to sit down and write, throwing herself into fantasy worlds and the fabulous minds of her characters.

Tillie is both an independent and traditionally published author, and writes many genres including: Contemporary Romance, Dark Romance, Young Adult and New Adult novels.

When she is not writing, Tillie enjoys nothing more than curling up on her couch watching movies, drinking far too much coffee, while convincing herself that she really doesn’t need that extra square of chocolate.

COVER REVEAL: HATE NOTES by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward

HateNotesTITLE2.png

A standalone romance novel published by Montlake Romance

By New York Times Bestselling Authors Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

Release Date: Tuesday, November 6, 2018

Photo/Cover Details:
Photo Credit: Tijana Vukovic
Model: Dusan Susnjar

Synopsis

It all started with a mysterious blue note sewn into a wedding dress.

Something blue.

I’d gone to sell my own unworn bridal gown at a vintage clothing store. That’s when I found another bride’s “something old.”

Stitched into the lining of a fabulously feathered design was the loveliest message I’d ever read: Thank you for making all of my dreams come true.

The name embossed on the blue stationery: Reed Eastwood, obviously the most romantic man who ever lived. I also discovered he’s the most gorgeous. If only my true-love fantasies had stopped there. Because I’ve since found out something else about Mr. Starry-Eyed.

He’s arrogant, cynical, and demanding. I should know. Thanks to a twist of fate, he’s my new boss. But that’s not going to stop me from discovering the story behind his last love letter. A love letter that did not result in a happily ever after.

But that story is nothing compared to the one unfolding between us. It’s getting hotter, sweeter, and more surprising than anything I could have imagined.

Something new.

But I have no idea how this one is going to end . . .

COVER REVEAL AND EXCERPT: MY BAD by Lani Lynn Vale

We are thrilled to reveal the cover for MY BAD the upcoming book in the BEAR BOTTOM MC SERIES by USA TODAY BESTSELLER by Lani Lynn Vale.

MY BAD RELEASES ON DECEMBER 4th!

Hoax knows two things very well.

One, he’s not relationship material. Two, the nurse that treats him for erectile dysfunction is the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen, and practically has ‘the marrying type’ stamped on her forehead.

Does that stop him from wanting her? No.

Unfortunately, he learned a long time ago that Army Delta Force and long-lasting relationships don’t go hand in hand.

But beautiful hazel eyes, curly blonde hair, and the prettiest lips he’s ever seen play havoc with his resolve, making him forget his earlier convictions.

All it takes is one teeny, tiny kiss for every shred of control he has to disappear, along with the problem in his pants.

Soon he finds himself doing things that he knows that he shouldn’t. He doesn’t know that he’s found the woman that’s meant to be his. Nor does he realize that her father is the man he’s idolized from the moment he joined the army at the age of eighteen. Because, maybe if he had, he would’ve tried a little harder to ignore the pull he felt between them instead of making her his the night before he deployed for six months.

He also might’ve tried a little harder not to knock her up.

Excerpt

I snorted. “It’s definitely not for the faint of heart, but when I went into it, I found a place in the world that was all mine. A place where there were other kids that didn’t have their parents there either. And when I turned eighteen, I joined the army and then never looked back.”

“You want to do it for the rest of your life?” She guessed.

I had.

“Yeah,” I answered. “I do.”

But if there was one person in this world I’d give it up for, it’d be you.

I didn’t tell her that, though. We were too new. She wasn’t ready to hear the depth of emotion that I was feeling for her.

She’d run, and I’d have to chase her to get her back.

I wasn’t sure she was ready for my kind of chasing, though.

“So the point you were trying to get across as you explained all of that was that you’re married to the army, and that you want me to know that no matter what I say or do you’re not leaving it.” She sobered.

I shook my head. “No, I’m just telling you that it’s important to me but…so are you.”

She softened at my words. “I’ll be able to deal. I won’t go out and shag ever single man that points his penis in my direction while you’re gone.”

“Shag?” I laughed. “Who says that?”

“Me!” she narrowed her eyes.

“And you just said you’ll wait…is that what I heard?” I asked.

She nodded. “I’ll wait…as long as you give me a good enough reason. You have to do a lot of convincing in between today and when you leave next week. I need to have a lot of memories to remember why I’m waiting while you’re gone.”

Lani Lynn Vale is a USA Today Bestselling Author of over thirty titles. She is married with three children, two dogs, two cats, a donkey, and a couple (a couple also meaning over twenty) chickens.

When she’s not writing, you can find her curled up in her favorite chair reading.

Lani is married with three children and lives in the Great State of Texas.

REVIEW TOUR: REDEMPTION by Jessica Ruben

We’re celebrating the release of REDEMPTION by Jessica Ruben!

Get ready to binge read this best selling series!

Cover by: Okay Creations

Blurb

Vincent

Through every drop of blood I spilled, I lost a piece of my soul. I’ve sacrificed seven long years and the woman of my life for the Family. With prison behind me, I’m finally taking the reins of my destiny. I won’t allow the choices of my past to define my future. But I’m not done fighting—not yet.

Eve is still out there.

I will stop at nothing to get her back.

Eve

After having my heart torn out by the son of the biggest crime family in New York, I was forced to start over in California. With three thousand miles between me and my past, life is finally set on cruise control. I’m a lawyer at one of the best law firms in the country, I own my apartment, and I even have a doting boyfriend by my side.

As for love?

It’s not worth the fight.

*Redemption (Vincent and Eve Book 3) is the final book in the Vincent and Eve trilogy.

You must read Rising (Vincent and Eve Book 1) and Reckoning (Vincent and Eve Book 2) in order to enjoy the conclusion of this heart-stopping romance.

My Review

After finishing the last page of Reckoning, I was desperate to know what would happen in Vincent and Eve’s final book because even though I understood why Vincent did what he did to save Eve, removing her from the darkness of the New York City nights, Vincent crushed Eve’s spirit, shredded her confidence, and brought her to her knees in all the worst ways, which means their path back to one another was going to be almost impossible.

So the wait to see what Jessica Ruben had in store for her two main characters was excruciating, but now that Redemption is here, I almost didn’t want to read it because that would mean that it’s over and I’d have to move on from this couple who have introduced me to one heck of a new romance author.   

When Vincent leaves New York and the mafia behind, it appears that freedom is truly his for the first time and in all the ways that matter, but the question is…at what cost because it’s clear that Vincent’s past misdeeds and his father’s refusal to accept Vincent’s choice to leave the family business are going to affect his present and most definitely his future with Eve, and that fact is always in the background…always just beneath the surface because a snake like Antonio Borignone can only be stopped one way.

The fact that Jessica Ruben allows readers into Vincent’s head and provides us with his thoughts about how much of a mess he made weighs greatly on our perception of him. Vincent owns up to his bad choices and the fact that he not only ruined a significant part of his life by being locked up but he also destroyed the woman who owns his heart and he has to deal with that fact and try to make amends if she’ll allow it, which seems a bit of a crap shoot since readers witnessed how deeply Vincent’s betrayal and mistreatment cost her in terms of her mental/emotional strength.

For me, the last book in the series is more about Vincent and his steps to redemption and transformation, so while Eve factors into Vincent’s plans, I feel like her role in the final part of their story is weighing whether she can risk her heart again with the same man who broke it, not so much having to change who she is or what she wants. In the length of time that Vincent was in prison, Eve struggled with herself, with the truth, and with the pain, so even though she’s a kickass attorney, she lost so much of herself when Vincent hurt her that she hasn’t been able to be her true self until Vincent walks back into her life and it’s that idea that almost cripples her again because she doesn’t want to need this man who she gave everything to and then he destroyed.

The conclusion of Vincent and Eve’s story is bittersweet in some ways; the fact that we, as readers, have been with this couple since the beginning and are able to trace their feelings and their growth in such detail makes it difficult to say goodbye to them and their world, but it also is exciting because I can’t wait to see the new characters and settings that Jessica Ruben creates for her readers, so I hang onto that idea and hope readers haven’t seen the last of Vincent and Eve.

RELEASE REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY: MORE OF YOU by A.L. Jackson

A second-chance, small town, stand-alone romance in A.L. Jackson’s Confessions of the Heart Series.

“I ABSOLUTELY LOVED Jace and Faith’s story. Seriously, the BEST story! 5++++ Stars!”

~Lys, I Love Story Time

Blurb

My daddy warned me never to fall for a boy like Jace Jacobs . . .

The second I saw him walk through the door, I knew he was trouble.

A gorgeous rebel with a bad attitude and a huge chip on his shoulder.

My heart warned me. I didn’t listen. I saw something protective and good beneath the fierce, tough exterior.

I fell hard and fast.

He promised we’d be together forever, and then left me with a broken heart.

Now, ten years later, Jace Jacobs is standing at my door.

Sexier than he’s ever been.

Provocative and commanding.

Successful and powerful.

The man I always knew he would become.

But I promised myself I’d never lose my heart to him again.

Even time couldn’t dim our chemistry. One glance of his intense eyes, and I become weak. One brush of his hand, and he brings me to my knees.

Little do I know, Jace holds the key to everything I’ve lost and everything that threatens my future.

Now he will either save me, or he will break me all over again . . .

More of You – a Confessions of the Heart second-chance, stand-alone romance

My Review

A first love like the one that Jace and Faith shared is supposed to last forever…it’s supposed to weather any storm…supposed to endure the ups and downs that come with young love because a bond like that…a connection that strong should be unable to be break…

But, that’s not what happened to Jace and Faith’s relationship; in fact, it seemed to fracture quite easily and without much of an understanding as to why it was abruptly destroyed, and now that a decade has passed and Jace returns home after walking away without looking back, these two broken souls need to find a way to coexist…find a way to not allow the hurt, the grief, and the regret to continue to break the pieces that have already endured too much.

The first aspect of More of You that immediately stood out to me was just how many obstacles A.L. Jackson forced Jace and Faith to face; roadblocks that were both seen and hidden, and in those situations, Jace and Faith never knew what would stand up against them; the only thing that they knew for sure was that retribution was wanted by others and Jace, regardless of Faith’s resistance, would do what he needed to do to keep Faith safe, even if he let her down before.

The reasons for Jace’s departure, the circumstances that bring him back, and the individual secrets that Jace and Faith have are gradually revealed as the story line shifts from present to past and light is shed on their time together as teenagers and their time apart as adults, struggling to keep going when life’s circumstances seem to keep pushing them down. And what makes things even worse is that there are flashbacks to happier times but also intricate details of the very moment

that crushed their hearts and their souls and as both Jace and Faith tell their story and offer their perspective as well as their internal thoughts, readers get a clearer picture of why everything happened and what Jace’s walking away cost them.

I do have to admit that, at times, the story is beyond frustrating, but that’s only because I wanted the complete details of Jace and Faith’s backstory from the very beginning; I couldn’t quite understand why this couple’s love deteriorated or why it was going to be such a battle to bring these two back together.

The lessons and themes of Jace and Faith’s story resonate from its pages; the idea of living with regret…with grief…with a fractured soul that just laid gaping for quite some time despite the effort to move on…to move forward…to begin again is woven expertly in A.L. Jackson’s words. Faith’s tears and the couple’s pain lingered in its paragraphs and chapters but so did their moments of healing.

More of You is a thoughtful and soulful read – one that speaks to the hearts of all of its readers because the characters’ journey bring forth hope despite the overwhelming darkness and sadness that have surrounded these two, proving that at the heart of Jace and Faith’s lives is a powerful love that never completely diminished and this second chance is something that Jace plans to take advantage of  because not only will he keep Faith safe from the danger that seems to be coming for her without any provocation but he also will prove to her that the connection they once shared can be renewed; she only needs to open up her heart again, which is easier said than done given what she’s been through both with and without Jace beside her.

A.L. Jackson definitely knows how to craft second chance love stories – ones that are filled with romance and emotions and ones that prove why the outcome is worth the risk despite the amount of time it may take to prove that the characters’ love deserves the possibility of being repaired and renewed despite what has already had to be endured.

RELEASE BLITZ AND REVIEW: The Mistakes I’ve Made by J.L. Berg

Title: The Mistakes I’ve Made
Series: By the Bay
Author: J.L. Berg
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 10, 2018
Amazon Release Date: September 12, 2018
Blurb
From USA Today bestselling author J.L. Berg comes an enemies to lovers stand-alone romance.

I was waiting for my life to start…

After forgoing college to help run the family business, I’d given up on the idea of a different life, and finally made peace with something a bit simpler.

That is, until Leilani Hart showed up.

There is nothing simple about about the hotel heiress and the minute our eyes meet, I know my carefree existence is a thing of the past. She has big ideas for our sleepy town and the motel she plans on transforming into a spa destination for the rich and famous.

She’ll have to go through me first.

From our first meeting, we’re like fire and ice and I can’t help but wonder what it would be like to pin her down and melt some of those frigid layers right off.

But, my town comes first. Or, at least, that’s what I keep telling myself. Unfortunately, my heart and head don’t seem to agree and soon, I don’t know where my loyalties lie.  I’ve never believed in love, but for her, I just might be willing to risk it all.

Even if it means falling… for the enemy.

My Review

The thing that I’ve learned about J.L. Berg’s storytelling since I was introduced to her stories is that each and every one has heart, has powerful emotions, and has lessons to be learned through the characters’ experiences and conflicts. There hasn’t been one that hasn’t resonated in some way with me due to the relatability of the story line or the realistic presentation of her characters’ concerns and/or problems, and in Berg’s newest release, The Mistakes I’ve Made, I’m, once again, struck by how her characters’ struggles speak to me and make me hope against hope that the hero and heroine will find a way through the maelstrom and come out of it changed in ways that allow them to move forward instead of focusing on the past.

Despite the fact that Leilani (Lani) Hart, a hotel heiress, and Taylor Sutherland,

a business man in the small island town of Ocracoke, North Carolina, seemed to have lived very different lives and don’t appear to share a common vision about what’s to be done with the renovation of Ocracoke’s only hotel, they do manage to find common ground as the story progresses, proving that attraction and chemistry can easily overshadow first impressions and preconceived notions.

It’s easy to understand what motivates Lani’s actions and what she hopes to gain by overseeing the hotel’s revamping, but what’s also clear is that her father has never truly seen her as anything other than someone beneath him, and I don’t see that changing despite her best efforts. Readers can’t help but feel for this lonely girl who just wants her father’s love and acceptance, and even though that doesn’t seem to be something that will happen, the fact that Lani finds a new path to take during her time in Ocracoke, we’re hopeful that the connection she seeks can be found in people who see her for the amazing woman that she’s always been.

Taylor may resent the fact that he was never able to leave his small hometown and adventure out on his own, but he’s made the best of it by being a successful businessman and quite the ladies’ man as well, and even though he sees Lani and her father’s company as an enemy of Ocracoke, when he’s chosen to keep an eye on the pretty interloper and be the go between to ensure that Hart International’s intentions meet the wants and needs of the townspeople, these two ‘enemies’ become friends and soon give into the sexual tension that has surrounded them since Lani set foot on the small town island.

The title itself also lends to symbolic meanings, but even after finishing the text, I’m still not quite sure whose mistakes are in question and who deserves the forgiveness that could be obtained…but perhaps that Berg’s intention, which means that all readers are on point in their assessment of who’s to learn and who’s to forgive.

Get your copy of ONCE UPON A REAL GOOD TIME today!

✮✮✮ONCE UPON AREAL GOOD TIME ✮✮✮

That smoking hot one-night stand with a former rock star?

Turns out he’s my son’s new music teacher. Oops.

But I didn’t know that the night I met Campbell. All I knew was he played my body the same way he played a guitar — like he owned it.

My libido is still high-fiving me after being self-served for too many years, and we’re both ready for another night or two of fun, especially since we don’t just have chemistry in bed — we connect over everything.

That is, until I learn he’s the man who’ll be coming to my house twice a week to teach my son — the best music lessons money can buy.

Time to turn down the volume on our shenanigans. Only that’s easier said than done.

***

I can rock a guitar solo in front of thousands, I can write chart-topping tunes, and I can absolutely stop thinking about my student’s mother naked.

After all, I’m a single parent too, and I know what it’s like to put your kid first. That’s what I do every damn day.

Trouble is, now that I’ve had Mackenzie, it’s hard — and I do mean hard — to stop wanting her. Harder too when I get to know her, and learn she’s an awesome mom, a great friend, and, oh yeah, she happens to get along perfectly with my daughter.

All we have to do is set some rules. No dating, no nookie when the kids are around, and no one gets hurt.

It’s all working out beautifully. Until we start breaking the rules, one by one.

Making music with her in the bedroom is easy. But will we be more than just a real good time when the music stops?

My Review

Once Upon…

Campbell Mason Evans was known as Mason Hart, one third of the band the Heartbreakers, but all of that changed when he became a father to Samantha, and while he still keeps his passion for music alive, the musician lifestyle and everything that comes with it is not who he is anymore and he’s more than fine with his new life.

A Real Good Time…

That’s something that single mom, Mackenzie, hasn’t had a lot of lately, unless you count the time she spends at The Grouchy Owl proving that her moniker of ‘trivia queen’ is more than appropriate. Mackenzie’s priorities are her 13 year old son and her job, which doesn’t leave time for anything else, at least according to her.

Once Upon A Real Good Time…

The instant spark between Mackenzie and Campbell led to a night where they could just be themselves, giving into their desires for one another and remembering what it’s like to go a little wild in the most delicious ways possible. But what that means for who they are outside of their glorious night together is still in question, especially when their ‘mom’ and ‘dad’ lives intersect. 

The circumstances that Mackenzie and Campbell find themselves in due to the direction their lives took and the difficult choices they made are relatable and realistically portrayed and the fact that Lauren Blakely allows both of her main characters’ voices/perspectives to be heard as they juggle parenthood, a career, and a blossoming personal life – all factors that overwhelm, frustrate, and amaze them on any given day – provides the perfect amount of insight to understand why Mackenzie and Campbell can’t just completely give in to the chemistry between them without considering the potential risks.

The supporting characters, particularly Campbell’s brothers and daughter as well as Mackenzie’s best friend and son, make this story even more well-rounded and entertaining because Lauren Blakely makes them a priority; she understands how pivotal the main characters’ children are to the big picture and to any relationship that may develop between Campbell and Mackenzie and the insights that the other characters help to expose proves why the main characters have chosen the path they’re living and why it would have to be something extraordinary for them to deviate from the status quo.

Lauren Blakely, once again, proves why her romantic comedies are some of the best around; her characters are extremely likable, their perspectives are emotionally rich and thoughtful, and the plot line flows organically based on the conflicts the hero and heroine must struggle through in order to appease everyone and everything involved.

Once Upon a Real Good Time has a great mix of sweet and sexy as well as family time and personal time, and it also allows readers to truly see who the hero and the heroine are and why they, too, deserve to be happy in every sense of the word.

RELEASE BLITZ AND GIVEAWAY: BLOCK SHOT by Kennedy Ryan

BlockShotRBBanner.jpg

“Kennedy Ryan’s writing continues to amaze and inspire. She is a genius wordsmith and a prose poet. And in Banner Morales, she has created the perfect heroine for this day and age. Don’t miss this read. It’s everything.”

— Emma Scott, Bestselling Author

Block Shot, Kennedy Ryan’s enemies-to-lovers, second-chance standalone romance is LIVE and FREE in Kindle Unlimited!

KRBlockShotBookCover5x8_MEDIUM.jpg

JARED

If I had a dollar for every time Banner Morales made my heart skip a beat…

The heart everyone assumes is frozen over.

Her anger is…arousing.

Every glare from those fire-spitting eyes, every time she grits her teeth,

gets me…well, you know.

If I had a dollar for every time she’s put me in my place, I’d be an even richer man.

I’m a successful sports agent because I assume “no” means you’ll think about it.

I’m sure what you meant to say is “Coming right up.”

They say even rich men don’t always get what they want,

but those men don’t know how to play the game. The trick is to keep them guessing.

Take Banner. She assumes she’s winning, but this game?

She doesn’t even know how to play.

BANNER

If I had a dollar for every time Jared Foster broke my heart, I’d have exactly one dollar.

One night. One epic fail. One dollar…and I’m out.

I’ve moved on.

I’ve found success in a field ruled by men.

Anything they can do, I have done better.

They can keep the field while I call the shots, blocking them when I have to.

And Jared has the nerve to think he gets a second chance?

Boy, please. Go sit down. Have several seats.

I’ll just be over here ignoring the man carved from my fantasies with a lust-tipped chisel.

Oh, I didn’t say the struggle wasn’t real.

But I’ve got that one dollar, and Jared won’t have me.
