Ex Yours CR-6

M_Jay_Granberry_Facebook_CoverM Jay Granberry is first and foremost an insatiable reader.

Among her favorite things are classic fairy tales, smutty books where characters have heart, old lady sweaters (preferably chunky knit), gift baskets (giving not receiving), and charcuterie trays (green olives, smoked cheese, and Genoa salami).

She is a true Las Vegas native, the one in Nevada not New Mexico, and to answer the most frequently asked questions about growing up in Sin City…

  • No, she doesn’t live in a hotel.
  • No, she has never been a stripper although she does know some.
  • Prostitution is absolutely illegal in Clark County (Las Vegas)!
  • And what happens in Vegas does indeed stay in Vegas.

M. Jay earned a degree in words and stories, and after fifteen plus years of doing everything other than writing, she penned her first novel.

Giving a voice to characters, that are strong yet fragile, that are sometimes uncomfortably real, that express love in dirtiest ways with the sweetest sentiments is honestly a dream come true.

My Review

Jodi Ellen Malpas has created some of my most favorite heroes and heroines in the romance world and with her newest release, Artful Lies, she introduces readers to the intelligent and sassy Eleanor Cole and the aloof and enigmatic Becker Hunt and when these two characters begin a professional relationship, it’s clear that there is already something more developing between them, which poses both a conflict of interest as well as a dangerous liaison of sorts, given what is revealed as the story line moves forward.

Eleanor Cole is a great JEM heroine. There’s a strength in her that is clearly shown with how she views the world and her need to do what’s right, not only for herself, but for the common good. She’s definitely beautiful and intriguing, but it’s her imperfections that draw people to her because she’s authentic and her personality is inviting.

Like many of the author’s alpha heroes, Becker Hunt is quite the dominant and imposing guy and despite his mercurial demeanor and rather standoffish expressions, Eleanor’s reactions to him and desire to know everything there is about him allows them the opportunity to learn more about each other. But here’s the issue with that idea…Becker is not an easy man to know, and because of his need for secrecy and his obsession with the skeletons in his family lineage, it’s unclear if Eleanor will ever truly know everything there is to know about him.

The underlying sexual tension between Eleanor and Becker and the push and pull that surrounds their connection from the start is captivating and has readers eager for these two to act on their feelings instead of using logic to keep each other at a distance.

The title itself engages readers and with the title of book two, Wicked Truths, it’s clear revelations will abound but what that means for Eleanor and Becker’s relationship is up in the air and with how Artful Lies ended, complications and obstacles will for sure cost them something but hopefully, not each other.

4.5 Poison Apples 

Excerpt

‘I’m told you’re settling in well,’ he says, but I still refuse to look at him.

‘Yes, very well, thank you,’ I answer, giving myself a cheer for my professionalism. Then I move to the right. And so does he.

‘Good,’ he says quietly. ‘Very good.’

Biting my lip, desperately wrestling off the urge to take a quick peek at him, I step to the right again. And so does he. ‘Excuse me.’ It takes everything in me to maintain my strength. He’s like a magnet to my eyes. Nothing as stunning as him should be ignored. Immune? I laugh to myself. I don’t think that’s possible.

It’s a long, long while, but I eventually see his smart brogues shift.

‘My lady,’ he says quietly.

Damn it. I chance a peek up at him as I scoot past, catching the signs of a cheeky smirk. And, shit, if my eyes don’t sprint over his entire face as I continue past, and then down his tall frame.

‘I look better naked,’ he says, all low and sexy. That soon breaks my trance, and I swing away, outraged, marching on.

‘I don’t plan on finding out,’ I mutter under my breath, and he laughs, telling me I didn’t voice my promise quietly enough. I stop, turning to face him. ‘You know, I’m pretty sure I could make a complaint to HR about sexual harassment.’

He grins. ‘I am HR. What’s your complaint?’

I narrow my eyes. ‘You’re not funny.’

‘Then why are you fighting to hold back your grin?’

My lips purse. Damn him. ‘Are you going to continually try to get a rise out of me?’

‘A rise?’ He peeks down at his groin area, and then glances back up, his grin now mild. ‘Too late.’

My eyes naturally drop to his groin, and he chuckles as he turns and saunters away. My head cocks in admiration, his lovely backside my focus. It really is a sight to behold, his sexy swagger executed to a T.

‘Stop looking at my arse,’ he shouts over his shoulder.

I cringe. Holy shit, I need to find some control. He’s my boss, for Christ’s sake. ‘I was doing no such thing.’

‘You know,’ he calls, ‘I’m pretty sure I could make a complaint to HR.’

‘What’s your complaint?’ I ask on a frown.

‘That you’re undressing me with your eyes.’ He doesn’t entertain me with another glimpse of his lovely face, just carries casually on his way, disappearing through the large doors into the Grand Hall.

REVIEW: Love Under Quarantine by Kylie Scott and Audrey Carlan

While the world is ravaged by a global pandemic, hotshot NFL running back Evan Sparks is locked in his own personal hell. With a career-ending scandal on his back, Evan hides out in his best friend’s empty San Francisco home, the full city shutdown locking him in a lonely twenty-story apartment in the sky.

Romance writer Sadie Walsh is having the worst case of writer’s block ever…until the incredible, muscular stranger staying next door gets her muse going strong. The pair of loners, never expecting to find a friend in all the madness, meet each day out on their balconies like a modern-day Romeo and Juliet.

Each new day brings unique challenges for the pair as they navigate the unknown and find solace together. They quickly figure out that as long as they have one another, they can handle anything.

Even falling in love under quarantine.

***

Writing together for the first time, New York Times bestselling authors Kylie Scott and Audrey Carlan team up to tell a story that not only is a beautiful escape during a trying time, but a true lesson on the power of humanity’s ability to survive. Through a sexy, hopeful, strangers-to-lovers romance, the authors prove with love, trust, and faith, we can conquer anything.

My Review

In life’s uncertainty, people find solace in unexpected ways and at unexpected times. And, while, in all likelihood, the hero and heroine of Kylie Scott and Audrey Carlan’s new release, Evan Sparks and Sadie Walsh, would never had connected with each other, given the reasons Evan’s hiding out in his best friend’s condo, who just happens to live next door to Sadie, but because San Francisco goes into lockdown and no one is allowed to leave their building, a surprising opportunity for them to get to know each other is created, and it’s one that Evan and Sadie take full advantage of in a number of significant ways. 

The fact that their initial encounter is in the vein of Romeo and Juliet’s balcony scene made this English teacher’s heart happy, and while Evan and Sadie’s situation is definitely not ill-fated like the young people of Verona, Italy, makes this new connection an interesting one while also contemplating what will happen between Evan and Sadie once the quarantine is over.

The issues brought up in the story are done so in a thoughtful and compassionate way, given the current state of affairs in society, touching on both the minor and major concerns. Both Evan and Sadie share their concerns for their families, for their friends, and for the state of things when everything is over, expressing their feelings that are very much like all of ours as we deal with COVID19.

I love that the hero and heroine’s differences give them more to talk about rather than create various points of contention. And while they’re in quarantine for 14 days, their feelings and their attraction burns slowly, but once it ignites, it’s clear just how compatible they are and how this unexpected situation offered them, not only a safe place but a chance for more.

Excerpt

She cried out, on the verge of orgasm, I suspected, but she managed to hang on, and a moment later she was collected enough to speak. “Even without the secrets, you scare me.” It was quiet, a confession of sorts. “You’re the only person who has ever loved me exactly like I am. The only person I’ve ever trusted entirely. That means you are more capable of hurting me than anyone who has hurt me before, and that’s the most frightening thing I’ve ever imagined.”

My tempo stuttered as I digested her words. Knowing everyone who had hurt her, knowing the ways they’d hurt her—that was a mighty declaration. It rocked me at my core. Made me off balance. That was a form of submission, wasn’t it? Being vulnerable like that. Making me aware of my power.

About the Author

With millions of books sold worldwide, Laurelin Paige is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author. She is a sucker for a good romance and gets giddy anytime there’s kissing, much to the embarrassment of her three daughters. Her husband doesn’t seem to complain, however.

When she isn’t reading or writing sexy stories, she’s probably singing, watching Game of Thrones or Letterkenny, or dreaming of Michael Fassbender. She’s also a proud member of Mensa International though she doesn’t do anything with the organization except use it as material for her bio.

She is represented by Rebecca Friedman.

RELEASE BLITZ: Unforgettable by Melanie Harlow

Unforgettable - RB banner.jpg


April and Tyler are just meant to be! I held my breath all the way to the end!” Sarina Bowen, USA Today bestselling author

Unforgettable, an all-new sexy and emotional second chance romance guaranteed to bring all-the-feels from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow, is available now!

Unforgettable AMAZON

Back then, I had it all.

Wicked fastball. Killer instinct. Cocky grin. Full package.

(And believe me, I knew how to score.)

My senior year, I was a first round draft pick with a two-million-dollar signing bonus. Before I could even legally buy myself a beer, I made my Major League debut.

Point is, I was invincible.

Until one day I wasn’t.

After tanking my career—during the World Series, no less—the last thing I want to do is return to my hometown, where every jerk in a ball cap has an opinion about what went wrong with my arm. So when my sister drags me back to town for her wedding, I vow to get in and out of there as quickly as possible.

Then I run into April Sawyer.

In high school we were just friends, but I’d always wanted her, and I’d never forgotten her—the red hair, the incredible smile, the crazy, reckless thing we did in the back of my truck the night we said goodbye. It’s been eighteen years, but one look at her and I feel like my old self again. I can still make her laugh, she can still take me down a notch, and when the chemistry between us explodes, it’s even hotter this time around—and I don’t want it to end.

But just when I think I’m ready to let go of the past and get back in the game, life throws me a curveball I never saw coming.

My Review

Out of all the Sawyer sisters, April’s story is the one that I wanted the most, and I’m sure it’s partly because she’s the last one standing, so to speak, but I also always saw her as a character who deserved more…who gave everything of herself but didn’t seem to get enough in return. And what I also saw was someone who held back, someone who hid behind her work and her ability to hide her true feelings and the truths she’s never really talked about out loud.

Tyler Shaw seemed like this larger than life all star; there are not many 18 year olds who get drafted right out of high school, especially with a big payday, but with his age also came this untouchable feeling…the idea that he was on top of the world and that nothing could bring him down, and it’s that exact overconfidence that led him astray…that kept all of his focus on baseball, negating every other aspect of his life, which meant that when he lost it, he lost himself and until he recognized what was happening and why things needed to change, nothing would settle for him; he’d keep reaching for something that was now a bit too far out of reach.

Both Tyler and April have been career-driven for quite some time, and now, 18 years later, their lives are not only incomplete but they’re holding back pieces of themselves and truths that need to be revealed so they can not only move forward with their lives, but, hopefully, work toward the things they want and it’s clear that what they definitely haven’t forgotten is each other.

I’m all about second chance romances; they are my absolute favorite kind of stories to read, especially when there’s quite a bit of backstory between the hero and heroine. The connection that April and Tyler shared when they were younger clearly meant everything to them, but Tyler’s future was always going to take him away from his hometown and from April. When Tyler came back to northern Michigan, I don’t think he expected everything to go down the way that it did and the fact that there’s so much more to deal with than he would have thought complicates an already tenuous situation, but it played out as it should have, especially considering the obstacles and truths that he and April had to overcome to get them both to a place where they were ready to move forward together.

Melanie Harlow’s stories ALWAYS deliver, and her Cloverleigh Farms series brings all the feels and then some, and while I’m beyond sadden to say goodbye to these characters and the setting, I know that what Harlow crafts next will be just as extraordinary as these stories were.

BLOG TOUR REVIEW: RIOT HOUSE by Callie Hart

RIOT HOUSE by Callie Hart

Release Date: April 29th

Add to Goodreads:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51976550-riot-house

Blurb

They might be richer than gods, but they’re morally bankrupt.

As far as the boys who run America’s most exclusive international academy are concerned, I’m an unwelcome interloper, an inconvenience, and they’re determined to make my life a living hell.

When Wren Jacobi sets eyes on Wolf Hall Academy’s newest inductee, all he sees is an easy mark. A reserved little girl with a target painted on her back. He knows nothing of my troubled past, though. Nothing of my mother’s suspicious death, or the horrific treatment I’ve had to endure at the hands of my psychotic father.

And he has no idea of the lengths that I, unassuming little Elodie Stillwater, will go to in order to break the savage beast who dreams of breaking me first.

There’s a wolf stalking the forests that surround my new school.
Little does he know…
There are far scarier predators lurking out there in the dark.

My Review

Every single one of Callie Hart’s gritty and dark worlds lure me in with their complex settings and bevy of main and supporting characters who have so many layers that it’s impossible to completely know any of them until every trait has been unearthed and every question as to the reasons they do what they do and say what they say is answered.

In Hart’s newest release, she introduces readers to Wolf Hall, an exclusive international academy in New Hampshire, and the rich and entitled students who walk its hallways and seem to call all the shots when it comes to anything and everything that happens at Wolf Hall as well as Riot House – the home of three princes of the school – that sits at the bottom of the hill.

Wren Jacobi appears to have everything he could ever want and the fact that he walks around Wolf Hall like he runs it seems to give him power over everyone, meaning that he can do whatever he wants, offering his own not so warm welcome for new students, including Elodie Stillwater.

Wren may see Elodie as an easy mark, as someone he can play with without repercussion, but he would be underestimating who she truly is and what she’s made of.  There’s a resilience to her, despite her outward appearance and demeanor,  that allows her to stand tall and weather the storm, no matter if it comes from her peers or someone who holds authority over her. 

It’s interesting to see how Wren and Elodie go from adversaries to a secret couple and what the different stages of their relationship look like, but because there is so much more going on than these two sparking a connection, contending with those obstacles amidst figuring out what they truly mean to each other becomes quite the interesting game of cat and mouse.

I do have to say that the story felt a bit too long; creating the foundation for the world and its characters took up a good majority of the first half of the book, and I found myself skimming parts of it, eager to get to the twists and turns as well as the revelations that I knew were coming, and once they started, the pace of the story picked up and how everything played out in the end kept my attention and answered the questions as it came to its resolution.

Despite the slow start, I enjoyed the non-linear plot line and the fact that certain conversations and situations had me second-guessing how everything would play out, which is exactly what keeps me intrigued as the story line continues to be fleshed out.

AUDIO PROMOTION: Hearts and Bruises by A.M. Brooks

A.M.Brooks Sale-6

H&B Audio-5

A.M.Brooks Sale-2

With love comes pain.

And with pain comes scars.

Believe me, I have had my share of it all.

After my mother’s death, my father couldn’t deal.

So once again, we’re moving.

To a town full of lies, darkness, and corruption.

All masked in sunshine and money.

But then I meet him…

My biggest mistake.

My biggest temptation.

A royal pain-in-the-ass.

And Darrian King is no prince.

He’s controlling, aggressive, and downright wrong for me.

But what he dishes out,

I give right back.

After all, love hurts.

And so do we.

About the Author

Rebecca Yarros is a hopeless romantic and a lover of all things coffee, chocolate, and Paleo. She is the author of the Flight & Glory series, including Full Measures, the award-winning Eyes Turned Skyward, Beyond What is Given, and Hallowed Ground. Her new Renegade Series features Wilder and the upcoming Nova, and is sure to keep your heart pounding. She loves military heroes, and has been blissfully married to hers for fourteen years.

When she’s not writing, she’s tying hockey skates for her four sons, sneaking in some guitar time, or watching brat-pack movies with her two daughters. She lives in Colorado with the hottest Apache pilot ever, their rambunctious gaggle of kids, an English bulldog who is more stubborn than sweet, and a bunny named General Fluffy Pants who torments the aforementioned bulldog. They recently adopted their youngest daughter from the foster system, and Rebecca is passionate about helping others do the same.
