RELEASE REVIEW: Perfect Match by Lila Monroe

PERFECT MATCH by Lila Monroe

Release Date: November 13th

Synopsis

I have sixty days to make this maverick billionaire fall in love… with somebody else!

Jack Callahan has the hottest smile in tech. And as for his ass…ets – well, there’s a reason he’s the biggest playboy in town. But thanks to douche-bro investors and my snake of a college nemesis (don’t ask), he’s also my last shot to take my new dating app from kick-ass idea to world-conquering, million-dollar reality.

There’s just one problem: he doesn’t believe you can make a program for love.

With my future on the line, I set him a challenge: if I can use the app to find his soulmate, he’ll invest in my company. Simple, right?

Wrong.

It turns out, Jack’s cocky attitude pushes my buttons – in all the sexiest, most infuriating ways. My research tells me he’s the absolute worst guy in the world for me… so why can’t I keep my hands off him?

And with my deadline approaching fast, how will I choose between my big break – or a broken heart?

Find out in the latest laugh-out-loud romantic comedy from Lila Monroe!

Review

I adore romantic comedies because I always walkaway feeling lighter…not weighed down as much by the chaos of real life because for several hours I’m allowed to enter a world filled with humor, steam, and amazingly dynamic characters, and as the author tells the hero and heroine’s story working towards their happily ever after, the comical scenes, supporting characters as well as the magnetism between the main characters makes this genre one of my favorites. 

The premise of Jack and McKenna’s story is quite intriguing and Lila Monroe does a great job building their story line from the reason McKenna initially needs Jack’s assistance to just how quickly their partnership becomes so much more than either of them ever considered a relationship could be, even if McKenna convinced Jack to financially back her dating app with the sales pitch that she could find his perfect match…someone who isn’t her.

Witty banter, sexual tension, and sweet and swoon worthy moments are perfectly combined to prove to readers just how ‘perfect’ these two are for each other and while both Jack and McKenna make their share of blunders and miscalculations, when it truly counts, they come through, keeping things quite classy and even a little bit sassy;)

Perfect Match is a hilarious, feel good story that had me swooning just as much as laughing. Jack and McKenna’s chemistry was off the charts from their very first encounter and even though their views on dating and romance didn’t quite match up, when they looked beyond what they deemed as ‘perfect,’ they found themselves yearning for one another, redefining who they thought could be their ‘one.’

RELEASE BOOST AND GIVEAWAY: Crank by Adriana Locke

Title: Crank
Series: The Gibson Boys #1
Author: Adriana Locke
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 10, 2017
Blurb
This is one mistake Sienna Landry can’t buy her way out of. As Walker Gibson looks at her, then at the damage to his precious truck (that she may or may not have accidentally inflicted), she knows she’s in trouble.

It’s not the busted headlight and dented grill that’s sunk her though. It’s the downright sinful man in front of her that’s the problem.The small town mechanic is broody. Rough. Smells like engine grease and gasoline and Sienna isn’t sure why that’s so sexy, but it is. It so is. She’s ready to peel off her panties at the drop of his wrench.

He wants her too. She can feel it when he brushes against her. Experience it as he presses her against the wall of the shop. It’s thinly veiled in his deep, brown eyes when he looks at her like she’s everything he’s ever wanted. So why
won’t he give in?

The damage to Walker’s truck is the first of many mistakes between the two of them, ending with truths that rock Sienna’s world. Nothing can fix her broken heart except the love of a man that won’t, maybe even can’t, love her back.

Crank is a standalone romance in a new small town, blue-collar series from USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke. Join readers everywhere as they fall in love with the delicious Gibson Boys.

Review

The Gibson Family may appear to be the perfect antithesis to the Landry Family, but their similarities far outweigh their differences of social position and monetary status. Family loyalty, strong work ethic, and solid familial bonds make both these families what they are and that’s why even though they live in two very different cities and live very different lives, when it comes to who they are at their core…what they value…what they live for…and what they’ll do to protect their own, the Landry and Gibson men and women complement each other amazingly well.

Walker Gibson isn’t anything like the sophisticated, well-groomed men Sienna Landry has grown up with and that’s exactly why she can’t get him out of her head.

There’s just something about a man who works with his hands day in and day out and who isn’t afraid to get dirty in the process of rebuilding or revamping the vehicles that are in need of his expertise. Walker’s work ethic and intelligence are what keep customers coming back to Crank, and the sense of brotherhood that he’s created not only with his family members but his friends as well allow him to deal with the stressors of running his own business and help him to keep the darkness at bay…a darkness that readers know is present but don’t quite clearly understand, but what’s clear is that his past defines certain parts of his present and is responsible for his hot and cold demeanor when it comes to wanting and needing Sienna in his life.

Sienna Landry’s always been a bit of a free spirit, finding her way in life by experiencing all that it has to offer. It seems like she’s always had a bit of wanderlust, but she might just have found her place with a certain grouchy grease monkey, but that’s only if she can see through his cold exterior and stand firm on who and what she wants even when she finds herself with a multitude of questions and very few answers.

Adriana Locke wrote the perfect set-up to immerse Walker and Sienna into one another’s life, and despite her snarky attitude and witty retorts, she doesn’t negate her responsibilities, even if it means dealing with a grumpy boss who’s doing everything in his power to not fall for her. But the Landry siblings know how to go after what they want and don’t quick until a victory is within their grasp.

Once again, Locke creates dynamic supporting characters who are essential to the progression of the story line and pivotal to helping Walker and Sienna see things clearly when everything gets turned on its head, causing a significant amount of heartache and frustration.

The Gibson brothers are a force to be reckoned with and god help the women who they set their sights on or vice versa because each one is full of piss and vinegar and don’t always fight fair…then again, if the other heroines are anything like Sienna Landry, the guys are going to have their hands full in the most delicious and dirty ways.

BLOG TOUR: REVIEW AND EXCERPT: The Outliers by T.M. Frazier

The Outliers, the stunning conclusion to The Outskirts Duet by T.M. Frazier is LIVE!

The Outliers cover

The Outliers by T.M. Frazier

Release Date: November 9th, 2017

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Synopsis

Sensual. Heartbreaking. Passionate. Overwhelming. Maddening.

That’s the love Finn and I share.

It’s the kind you can never recover from.

The kind you never WANT to recover from.

That’s why we’ll do everything and anything to protect it.

When my past chases me all the way to Outskirts, we have to make a choice.

Let the lies destroy our chance at future together or…bury them deep in the swamp where they belong.

Got a shovel?

Review

TM Frazier could not have developed more symbolic names or more poetic ideas for the titles of the books in her newest duet: The Outskirts and The Outliers. Both terms imply that the setting as well as those who find themselves dwelling in its less than desirable location are hiding from the world and the shitstorm that has already rained down on them…but these ‘outsiders’ seem to find their place in this ‘little backward town in the middle of nowhere USA’ because there is always beauty to be found within the muck…there’s always light to be found in the darkness…there’s always love to be found in the least likely of places, especially when it seems hopeless due to the cruelty that has already been endured.

By the end of The Outliers, Sawyer’s education and initiation into the world outside her captivity at the hands of her father has allowed her to truly understand all that she was missing out on and all that she still has to learn. She is still fairly naïve, but it’s that innocence that allows Sawyer to work through all of the ugliness that she has faced and determine that it will no longer hold her down…that it will no longer hinder her from truly living. And with Finn by her side as well as a few other outliers who have become her family…her everything, she’s able to put the past behind her and look to a much fuller and happier future. That’s not to say that she doesn’t have setbacks and that her past doesn’t find a way to put her present in chaos, but her new outlook and life’s revelations have allowed her a way to see beyond her fear and fight against the demons that threaten to destroy what she has built in the Outskirts.

Finn, in a way, is reborn through his love and need to protect Sawyer. His past is just as heartbreaking, but he can see passed it because Sawyer offers him a way into the light, and because of that gift, Finn opens up and finds himself a little on the outside. In a way, though, I feel like Finn takes on more of a secondary role in book two because it’s Sawyer’s past that has to be dealt with and it seems kind of fitting that Sawyer is allowed to spread her wings a bit and find her way. I’m not saying that Finn is in any way less important in book two because he’s not, but Sawyer is at the forefront of The Outliers, which feels right given everything that had to be dealt with concerning the world she fled.

Love fiercely. Love possessively. Love crazily. Love always.

That’s the lesson that the characters of The Outskirts Duet and its readers learn through everything that is revealed and all that unfolds in book two. And, while the second part of Sawyer and Finn’s story is not as twisted or unhinged as what TM Frazier usually writes, the plot line as well as the way things are handled seem to fit the point in their lives these characters have reached and what’s truly important when it comes to moving forward and feeling more whole than they’ve ever felt before.

Sawyer and Finn both went from merely existing to truly living and fighting for a forever with each other, which proves that even those who live on the outer edges and feel detached and different from everyone else deserve a life filled with love and family and they’ll fight dirty if it means that their life gets a little lighter amidst the darkness and murkiness of their humble lifestyles.

Excerpt

My eyes went to her throat. I saw her pulse quicken beneath her smooth skin. She twisted her pouty pink lips. Her hesitation only lasted a second before she wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me down closer so that the tips of our noses touched. Her lips feathered against mine. “Fuck me, Finn.”

“Yes,” I growled.

I may have been the one who told her to say those words but hearing them out of her mouth caused the raging inferno of lust within me to explode beyond control. I had a feeling I’d be hearing those words on repeat in my head for the rest of my life.

Fuck me, Finn.

I lifted her up onto the nearest table and pushed her onto her back. I tore her panties off in one tug and while I devoured her with my eyes, I somehow managed to concentrate enough to unbuckle my belt and push my jeans down over my ass, freeing my throbbing cock.

Sawyer moaned when I parted her legs, stepping between them. The sound was pure fucking heaven. Our tongues danced while we drank each other in. I savored the way her body felt against mine. Hard against soft. I dug my fingers into the flesh of her perfectly round ass before moving them to her pussy where I parted her warm wet folds and strummed her swollen clit because Sawyer was my instrument of choice and only I knew how to play her to perfection.

The look on Sawyer’s face when I inserted a finger inside of her was as if I’d just given her a drug. She was high on the pleasure. Her lids were heavy. Her pupils large and dark. I was dead set on making sure I wrung every bit of pleasure from her gorgeous body and I gave her exactly what she’d asked me for.

SPIDER-FINAL-FULL.jpg

Title: Spider

Author: Ilsa Madden-Mills

Publication Date: November 13th, 2017

He calls himself Spider.

I just know him as the sinfully gorgeous guy with eyes of fire that fate places next to me on the airplane.

I didn’t who he really was . . . future rock star . . . my stepbrother.

He kissed me because he thought he’d never see me again. He would.

Everyone warned me about him.

They told me he was careless and ruthless and screwed up.

They said he’d leave me with a hole in my heart.

Maybe I should have listened.

Maybe I should have built a fortress to keep him out.

But I crumbled instead.

They say an unbreakable thread connects those who are destined to meet. If that’s true, then the moment he sat next to me, we were bound together forever.

He just had to figure it out before it’s too late…

About SHELTER (Coming 12/26/17)

His life is chaos and confusion. It’s a storm of uncertainty and raging emotion.

Sutton Warner is a mess. Everything in his life feels like it’s unraveling.

He’s let a lot of people down lately, including his daughter. Sutton always promised his little girl he would never disappoint her and that he would always be there when she needed him. Until he wasn’t.

The truth is, he’s used to disappointing the women in his life. First was his mother who couldn’t find a reason to stick around when he was growing up. Then there’s his ex. The woman who takes unbridled delight in making his life incredibly complicated. Luckily, his daughter is still young enough to believe her old man is some kind of hero. But, he knows the day is coming when she realizes the truth, that he’s just a man with some serious flaws and a list of ever-growing weaknesses.

Finally, there’s the woman he’s desperately trying to forget with every shot tossed back and each pill popped.

He more than disappointed Emrys…he almost got her killed.

Her love is steady and sure. It’s a shelter shaped by conviction and silent assurance.

Emrys Santos is lost. Everything in her life feels pointless and futile.

She’s been busy running away from her feelings and all the people who love her the most—including her best friend, the one person who knows exactly what she’s been through. They promised to always stick together and to lean on one another. It was a promise Em had to break so she could lick her wounds and figure out her next move. For once, there is no easy way out of the tangled web of emotions she’s caught up in, and right now, she recognizes that all roads lead back to Wyoming…and back to Sutton.

The man she nearly got killed.

Shelter is a standalone novel, the second book in the Getaway series, which features the hardheaded and brokenhearted Warner brothers and the women who dare to love them. These boys are very good at putting the wild in wilderness.

About ESCAPE (Coming 1/30/18)

Everything inside of him is screaming that he needs to run, he needs to go, he needs to escape.

Lane Warner is used to being overshadowed and overlooked.

After all, he’s the youngest brother and the most laid back one in the family. He’s the one known for going with the flow and not making waves, even when things seem to be at their worst.

Very few things in life have had the ability to rile Lane up and get under his skin. At the top of that list is his childhood friend Brynn Fox…no…Brynn Warner. The fact that they share a last name was the one thing that has the power to light him up and spin him out of control like no other. There was no calm, cool and collected when it comes to all the reasons why Brynn had to become part of his family.

It’s slowly killing him to keep wanting what he can’t have, so Lane sees only one way to stop himself from doing something they’ll both regret…he has to leave.

Everything inside of her is calling out to find him, to follow, to bring him home.

Brynn Warner is used to being stuck between a rock and a hard place.

After all, she’s the daughter of an unrepentant gold-digger who never once blinked at being the cause of her daughter’s pain and suffering.

Very few things in her life have ever brought happiness and a sense of security. At the very top of that list is Lane Warner. She has unwaveringly loved the youngest Warner since the first minute she laid eyes on him. He was everything Brynn ever wanted and everything she knew she could never have.

Sometimes the right choice is the one that hurts the most and Brynn’s had to make a few that felt like they might be the end of her.

When Lane takes off, one thing is clear, the only choice Brynn has is to go after him.

She’s going to bring her wayward cowboy home….whatever it takes.

Escape is a standalone novel, the third book in the Getaway series, which features the hardheaded and brokenhearted Warner brothers and the women who dare to love them. These boys are very good at putting the wild in wilderness.

About the Author

I must’ve been 5 or 6 when I started writing “stories”. I would write them and hide them.

Not wanting anyone to see my “secret” thoughts. I needed to write – even back then. Now I’m just not hiding them anymore. Is that a sign of maturity? Nah…

Writer, photographer, insatiable wanderluster, edge-player, foodie, music addict, pop culture fanatic, animal lover, warrior for the rights of people and planet, and avid cusser (am a Native

New Yorker, so very little offends me…and if I am offended, it must be pretty freaking bad..like

bad grammar!)

I am a big believer in signs and if we keep ourselves open, there are guideposts all along the way. Stay humble. Be true. Be you.

Walker’s work ethic and intelligence are what keep customers coming back to Crank, and the sense of brotherhood that he’s created not only with his family members but his friends as well allow him to deal with the stressors of running his own business and help him to keep the darkness at bay…a darkness that readers know is present but don’t quite clearly understand, but what’s clear is that his past defines certain parts of his present and is responsible for his hot and cold demeanor when it comes to wanting and needing Sienna in his life.

Blurb

Amalie Whitfield is the picture of a blushing bride during her wedding reception–but for all the wrong reasons. Instead of proclaiming his undying love, her husband can be heard, by Amalie and their guests, getting off with someone else. She has every reason to freak out, and in a moment of insanity, she throws herself at the first hot-blooded male she sees. But he’s not interested in becoming her revenge screw.

Mortified and desperate to escape the post-wedding drama, Amalie decides to go on her honeymoon alone, only to find the man who rejected her also heading to the same tiny island for work. But this time he isn’t holding back. She should know better than to sleep with someone she knows, but she can’t seem to resist him.

They might agree that what happens on the island should stay on the island, but neither one can deny that their attraction is more than just physical.

Filled with hilariously scandalous situations and enough sexual chemistry to power an airplane from New York City to the South Pacific, Hooking Up is the next standalone, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy from Helena Hunting, the New York Times bestselling author of the Pucked series and Shacking Up.

Review

For far too long, Anarchy Amie has been leashed…confined in the restraints that Armstrong forced upon her when they started dating in order for them to be deemed a ‘respectable’ couple in the eyes of the social elite.

And what does Amie get for meeting all of Armstrong’s demands???  Sub-par vanilla sex, fake orgasms, and a marriage that would have never happened if Armstrong’s true nature was revealed and if Amie didn’t feel the need to find a ‘good boy’ to tame her crazy ways.

But what’s done is done and in the aftermath of what will go down in history as the Wedding Reception from Hell or Blow-Gate actually provides Amie with an opportunity to release Anarchy Amie on the beaches, in the dance clubs, and in an all-inclusive luxury hotel in Bora Bora and find a way to work through the humiliation and heartache that she feels with a hook-up of the hottie variety and as fate would have a certain Sexy Lexy is in the same location, and he is more than willing and incredibly able to free Amie from the conservative shackles that still bind her due to marriage and help her exhibit her less than class self in the dirtiest and naughtiest ways.

Ever since Helena Hunting introduced Lexington Mills to readers, I’ve been impatiently waiting for his book and then when I read Hunting’s contribution to Eye Candy and witnessed how Lex gravitated towards Amie and the chemistry that sizzled between them despite pencil-dick Armstrong’s claim on her, I became a one-woman cheer squad for Lex and Amie to explore their mutual attraction and boy does Hunting give them the perfect setting to be one another’s ‘temporary diversion’ and maybe even more if Lex has anything to say and do about it.

I’ve had the pleasure of being introduced to a bevy of kickass heroes in the worlds that Helena Hunting creates, and I’ve adored the lot of them, but Lexington Mills is in a class of his own. I love how much of a paradoxical man Lex is; some people perceive him as a ‘good-time guy’ with not much substance, and while he tends to play up that idea, only doing what he HAS to do and nothing more, Lex is not that simple of a man. There’s a depth to him that few see because they choose not to and their opinion of him does not matter to Lex because he knows the kind of man he CAN be and he proves that with how he handles his business while in Bora Bora and when he returns home and how he shows another side of himself to Amie – the side that allows her to be herself and to explore how free Lex makes her feel just by simply being around him.

I would choose Anarchy Amie over reserved and demure Amalie every single time. I can’t say that I blame her for going with Armstrong because he does appear to be the ‘safer’ choice and the complete opposite of the bad boys she dated in her wilder days, but she should have gone with her gut instead of feeling like marrying him was the best choice to make. But once she’s done with Armstrong, she’s DONE and Helena Hunting does a fantastic job of transforming Amie into the woman she was before Armstrong, which is exactly who she has always been at her core and it’s the woman who Lex can’t get enough of, even when their sexual liaisons were not supposed to continue once they returned to their ‘normal’ lives.

Armstrong definitely gets the douche award for everything that he is and for every single despicable and demented word and act that he says and does to Amie and Lex. If there was one man who deserved to catch every STD on the face of the Earth, it would be him because he is that much of a slime ball.

Helena Hunting definitely has me HOOKED on her stories and her characters and I can’t wait to see what she brings readers next!

BLOG TOUR PROMO: AMERICAN KING by Sierra Simone

TOUR_AMERICANKING.jpg

Enthralling and drop dead gasp-worthy.

– CD Reiss, New York Times Bestselling Author

American King, the stunning conclusion to The New Camelot Trilogy by Sierra Simone is available NOW!!

American-King-PRINT-FOR-WEB

They say that every tragic hero has a fatal flaw, a secret sin, a tiny stitch sewn into his future since birth.  And here I am.  My sins are no longer secret. My flaws have never been more fatal.  And I’ve never been closer to tragedy than I am now.

I am a man who loves, a man whose love demands much in return.  I am a king, a king who was foolish enough to build a kingdom on the bones of the past. I am a husband and a lover and a soldier and a father and a president.

And I will survive this.

Long live the king.

Excerpt

When I was twenty-two, I met a prince.  He seemed to be the exact opposite of everything I was—loud where I was quiet, smiling where I frowned, careless where I was careful, careful, careful.  Embry joined the Army because Vivienne Moore wanted her son to craft the perfect politician’s resume.  I joined because it seemed like the place to continue my never-ending quest for honor; because becoming an officer in the Army had a certain cachet in my neighborhood; because I wanted to somehow cosmically return the favor for my college scholarship; because the structure and rigid hierarchy of military life appealed to me.

Most importantly, I joined because I knew Carpathia was the most dangerous place in the world at the time, and I felt needed there in a way I can’t describe.  It was like a barometric pressure that made my bones and teeth ache when I tried to resist it.  I knew that I was supposed to be there in the same way I knew that God was real or that I was bisexual.  It was a fact, even if it couldn’t be seen.

And after all that, then I see this lieutenant refuse to break up a fight?  When we were there on the brink of war and responsible for safekeeping innocents nearby?  No.  I wasn’t an angry person, but I was a disciplined one, and the one thing I couldn’t tolerate in other people was a lack of it.

I only meant to shake some sense into him, to tell him clearly and unmistakably that he wouldn’t get away with that shit while I was around, but then he turned, and I saw his face for the first time.

And it was over.

Done.

One look at those winter-blue eyes and those delicate lips and I was finished.  One glance at his lean, long body, and I was falling.  Every part of me responded with heat and flush and wrenching want, like a hook had been fastened somewhere in my chest and was now giving an almighty tug, and the only thing to ease the ache would be to get closer, closer, closer.

I’d never seen a boy so beautiful.  Haughty as he was, overindulged and so obviously dissolute, he was the loveliest person, boy or girl, I’d ever seen.

I still pinned him against the wall, though.  And it was when I had him against the wall with my forearm on his throat and my body trapping his that he sealed his fate.  As I was choking him, he looked at me with his whole world in his eyes.
