Blog Tour, Review & Excerpt – A Kiss for A Kiss, Helena Hunting

May 31, 2021 | Posted in Blog Tour, Review | By

There’s a small complication. A beautiful, sexy complication named Hanna.

A Kiss for A Kiss, an all-new second chance-at-love mature adult romance from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting is available now!

I’m Jake Masterson, single dad, and the General Manager of Seattle’s NHL team. I walked away from a career as a player so I could raise my daughter. For the last twenty-plus years, Queenie has been my main priority, but now she’s getting married. And there’s a small complication. A beautiful, sexy complication named Hanna. She’s my son-in-law’s older sister. Or at least that’s how they were raised. The truth is a little more scandalous than that. I’ve been drawn to her from the moment I laid eyes on her. And I spent months trying to keep a lid on that attraction. Until we finally give in. It starts with one searing kiss, but quickly ends with us between the sheets—and in the shower, and the hot tub, you get the picture—and turns into months of sneaking around. Here’s the problem: we live on opposite ends of the country. It can’t be anything but casual. And as I’ve already said…it’s complicated. But when Hanna finds out she’s pregnant…suddenly things get real serious.

Kara's Review

[usr=5

A Kiss for a Kiss is the fourth book in the All In series by Helena Hunting. Oh Jake, be still my heart. I loved you when we met you as Queenie’s dad. And I knew you and Hanna were perfect for each other. You had similar stories, a lot in common and crazy hot chemistry. But your daughter is marrying her son (who everyone thinks is her brother). To say it’s complicated is an understatement! They decide they are better off as friends so they don’t complicate things any further. And then Hanna finds out she’s pregnant. She’s forty-six and thought she was in perimenopause but now she’s pregnant and lives across the country from Jake and her son. Jake wants to be involved, but how is that going to work. They both have jobs and families. They both compromised things in their lives when they had Ryan and Queenie. But they are older and wiser and just talk to each other about how they feel. Not only do they want to raise this baby together, they want to be together. I couldn’t love this book more if I tried! I loved that Jake and Hanna are my age! It was refreshing to watch them communicate like adults. I loved their banter, the sexiness, their openness. Pretty much loved everything!!

  Excerpt   “You’re trouble tonight, aren’t you?” Her fingertips dance along my traps as she brushes past me. “And yes, to answer your question, I did, in fact, bring the red bikini.” She disappears down the hall to the spare bedroom, where she’s sleeping tonight. Because I invited her to stay at my place this weekend rather than at King’s. It’s not that she isn’t welcome there. It’s more that she wants them to have their privacy. It also means I get more time with Hanna, so it’s a win all the way around. And I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t been thinking a lot about time alone with her this weekend.  I change into my swim trunks, pour myself a scotch, heavy on the rocks, and her a glass of wine before I make my way outside. I set the drinks on the outdoor dining table, remove the hot tub cover and check the temperature, making sure it’s not too hot.  Once I carry the drinks over and set them in the cup holders, I sink into the hot, bubbly water, stretch my arms out, let my head fall back and my eyes close. All the time I’ve been spending with Hanna is starting to get to me.  Reminding me that I’m in my forties, and very much still a bachelor. There are a lot of reasons why getting involved with Hanna on a romantic level would not be a good idea. Queenie and King’s relationship being at the forefront.  But she’s fun. And sexy. And we get each other.  A minute later, the sound of the sliding door opening and closing and the slap of flip-flops against the deck have me cracking a lid.  “You better not be sleeping already!” she calls out.  “Not sleeping, just waiting on you.” I watch as she pulls the tie on her robe and the terry fabric slips over her shoulders, revealing that red bikini I’m such a fan of. Hanna is all curves. Amazing curves. The kind I’ve fantasized about putting my hands on plenty of times over the past several months. And with us spending a lot more time together, it’s been hard not to give in to the constant draw.  I rise from the water and hold out a hand as she climbs the steps. Her fingers slip into my palm, sending a jolt down my spine and a stirring inside my swim trunks.  “Could you try to be a little less beautiful all the time?”I tease as I help her into the tub. “Could you try to have more of a dad bod?” She drags her fingers down my abs, brows waggling, a smile on her gorgeous face. “You are definitely good for my ego, Jake.” She pats me on the chest and sinks into the water on the opposite side of the tub from me.  Which is probably a good thing since I feel like we’re playing with fire tonight. The kind I wouldn’t mind pouring a gallon of gasoline on just to watch it burn brighter.  “That was a great engagement party. I think the kids had fun, don’t you?”She stretches her legs out. Her toes skim the outside of my thigh and I barely resist the urge to run my hand up her calf.  I don’t know what’s in the air tonight, but things seem…different. Heightened.  “Yeah. It was good,” I agree. She pokes me with her toe. “Then why are you frowning? You’ve been off all night. What’s going on?” With all the planning and talks we’ve been having, Hanna and I have gotten to know each other better. And she can read me pretty easily.  “I don’t know. On one hand, I’m happy for King and Queenie and I know he’s going to be a great husband to my daughter, but I spent all these years raising her, and being there for her. They’ve been living together for months, but for some reason, it’s all kind of hitting me. It’s real now.” I take a sip of my scotch. “It’s different from when she went away to college, and even when she moved out of the pool house and in with King. There’s this hole I didn’t expect.” “It sounds like empty nester’s syndrome.” She moves to the spot beside to me, where the glass of wine I poured her sits.  “Is that what this is? I’m all morose and shit.” She chuckles and props her elbow on the edge of the tub. “You need to look at it with a fresh perspective, that’s all. You’re not losing your daughter. It’s different with girls. Sure, she’s found her partner in life, but she’s always going to be your baby girl. And the two of you are so close.” “I don’t know what to do with all of this freedom,” I admit. “My entire life up to this point has been revolved around raising Queenie and my career.” “Which means you did your job. And that’s a good thing. Think about it, Jake. This is the great part about having a kid young. Sure, you lost out on the freedom of your twenties, but in some ways, this is even better. You’re in your forties. You have a great job, you’re in incredible shape.” She twists and pulls her knee up so it rests against my thigh, her arm extending along the back of the tub, fingertips skimming my . “You have all of your hair.” “I’m definitely grateful for the last one,” I joke.  “You have great hair.” She runs her fingers through it. “It’s sexy.” She bites her lip and then shakes her head. “Anyway, what I’m saying is, you’re in the prime of your life. Most people in their forties are raising teens, or maybe their kids are getting ready to go to college. You’ve done all that. Now you can just live. You can date. Have fun. Do whatever you want.” “Fun would be good.”My gaze drops to her lips. “And I’d like to do whatever I want.” “Me, too.” Her bottom lip slides through her teeth. “Like right now I could kiss you.” “You definitely could.” I skim her thigh under the water with my fingertips.  She nods. “There’s nothing stopping us.” “So why aren’t your lips on mine yet?” I ask.  Hanna shifts again, her wet palms come to rest on either side of my jaw, and she presses her soft lips to mine.  I slip my hand under her hair and wrap it around the back of her neck. For a moment, I question whether this is a good idea. But when our lips part and our tongues meet, I forget all the reasons why it might not be.  I groan as I sink into the kiss and our tongues tangle. She tastes fruity, like the wine she’s been drinking. She straddles me and settles in my lap, her breasts pressing against my chest.  She breaks the kiss for a moment and our eyes meet. “I’ve been thinking about this for months.” “I’ve wanted to know what your lips taste like since the first day I met you.”

Let Me Love You is the second book in the All of Me duet by the Queen of Twists, Siobhan Davis. You can not read this book without reading Say I’m the One first. So if you haven’t done that yet…do it now!! Go…enjoy!! I really can not say much about the story without spoiling anything. I can say that this duet is epic! I have been on some crazy emotional rides but this one is wild, heartbreaking, swoon-worthy, and poetic. It hit on every last emotion. It’s full of love, laughter, passion, twists, turns, loopy-loops, family, friendship, and angst. I couldn’t put it down!
I usually add quotes but I couldn’t even do that afraid of giving anything away. Holy. Fuck. Seriously, read this duet. The writing is addictive. The storyline is epic. The characters are so well-developed and fantastic. It’s one of my favorite reads of the year! 💞

Release Blitz & Review – Tie Me Down, Melanie Harlow

May 24, 2021 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By

Like any cowboy, he’s good with a rope and knows exactly how to tie me up. But what if I want him to tie me down?

Tie Me Down, an all new smoldering second-chance romance from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow is now live!

Just friends. That’s all Beckett Weaver and I have ever been. Sure, he’s a hot cowboy who left Wall Street behind to take over his family’s ranch. Yes, I’ve had a secret crush on him since we were seventeen. And who wouldn’t appreciate those strong hands, that massive chest, and the way he fills out a pair of Levis? He makes a girl sweat just looking at him . . . and I look. A lot. But I’m a single mom trying to move on with my life, and he’s running that ranch single-handedly while taking care of his elderly father. We don’t even live in the same state. I only returned to my hometown of Bellamy Creek to sell my late mother’s house, and he just invited me and my son to stay with him because he’s got a big heart. That’s not the only big thing he’s got–which I discover the night I finally sneak across the hall to his bedroom and shed my inhibitions right alongside my pajamas. And once we give into each other, we can’t stop. The hayloft. The bed of his truck. The dock by the pond. Nothing has ever felt so right, but his past has taught him not to believe in happily ever after, and every perfect night I spend in his arms brings us closer to goodbye. Like any cowboy, he’s good with a rope and knows exactly how to tie me up. But what if I want him to tie me down?

Sandra's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Tie Me Down is the fourth and final book in the Bellamy Creek series by Melanie Harlow. It’s a bittersweet ending to this amazing series connected by four best friends in a small town. Four friends who live for old man baseball, family, and now their loves.
Fifteen years ago the boys graduated high school and went their separate ways but were always there for each other. Since then they have all made it back to their hometown of Bellamy Creek. Beckett went to Harvard to Wall Street and a years years ago he left the big city to takeover his family’s farm and take care of his father. Every time he looked at the old maple tree he thought of the girl who got away. Maddie Blake. His friend, neighbor, and now the woman who was going to be staying with him for the next two weeks with her son, Elliott.
Maddie left her hometown and never looked back. She stayed in touch with Beckett for years. He was her rock for years until she had to make a choice. When she called him months ago she didn’t know how he would feel and when he invited her and her son to stay with him on the farm while she prepared her mom’s house to sell, it was unexpected. She had a crush on him at seventeen and when she sees him again at thirty-three, it was no different. He was all man. He smelled like hard work and dedication. He looked like sex on a stick. But it was his heart that melted her. Made her swoon. And once she got a taste of him, it was on. He knew how to tie her up in all the sweet and naughty ways but is he willing to tie her down for the long haul?
Omg, I loved this book and this series!! I can’t even pick a favorite anymore. I love all these old men of baseball and the women who love them. And the kids!!! Elliott is amazing! I want his pink boots. This book made me swoon, cry, get hot and bothered and cry again. Such an emotional and beautiful ride. I am excited about what Melanie has for us next.
P.S. Make sure to read the bonus scene.
Quotes:
“Are you staying here too?”
“Yes,” Elliott replied.
“Well, good. That’s good.” My dad nodded in satisfaction. “You’ll like it here. Sometimes they don’t let you out when you ask, but mostly the people are nice.”
“I’m good with a rope, you know.”
My stomach tightened. “I bet you are, cowboy.”
“Is it time?” Cole asked.
“Yes. But you’re so adorable with your group hug, I don’t even want to break it up.”
“It wasn’t a group hug,” scoffed Griffin, adjusting his lapels.
“It was a team huddle.” Moretti fussed with his cuffs. “A very manly team huddle.”

Courage for Fools is Monty Jay’s first complete standalone novels. Her Fury series can be read as standalone novels but they are connected. I love that series but happy she is showing us another side of her writing too!
Quinn is a twenty-two year old bartender who has never been out of her small hometown in Virginia. She grew up hearing stories of the open road and she had big dreams of getting out seeing the world. All she needed was a kick in the ass with with a realization. So, she quits her job, gets out her scrapbook and makes a plan. Two weeks of finding herself on Route 66. She was excited and nervous all at the same time. It was her last night in town and he walks into her bar. A man who doesn’t fit with the town. She knew then that he was going to be a part of her life. She didn’t even feel like she belong there either.
Rhett needed to find his music. He passion for performing his own music. He was tired of the higher-ups telling him what he could and couldn’t sing. His band was on top but all he wanted was the music that spoke to people not what was outplayed on the radio. So, he drove then broke down in a town he never heard of. Walked into a bar and saw her. A woman with indigo eyes, beauty that took his breath away, and a good heart. Turns out she was hitting the road and he wanted to tag along on her adventure. She wasn’t happy about it but his charm wins her over.
I ♥️ Rhett and Quinn!! I could feel their connection from the beginning. I loved how he made her feel. Showed her what he saw in her. And it was the other away around as well. Two unlikely souls finding each other in the middle of nowhere. An adventure I so want to go on!! Rhett is so swoon worthy with his shameless flirting, humor, sweetness, and owning his hopeless romantic side. Quinn is a shy little badass who I loved seeing open up. Together, they are everything.
P.S. Did I mention Rhett is Irish? Yum!!
Quotes:
This was the moment I’d been waiting my entire life for. This was what love songs were written about, moments like these. I wasn’t going to let it pass me by.
“You taste like rock and roll feels, Quinn. Fucking obsessive.”
“I feel like a stranger everywhere. Except right here.”

Release Day & Review -Doin’ A Dime, Lani Lynn Vale

May 18, 2021 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By

 

Doin’ a Dime

Souls Chapel Revenants MC Book 4

Lani Lynn Vale

Release Date: May 18, 2021

 

About the Book

Live-in property & pet caretaker needed. Six-year minimum. Background check required. Generous compensation. Marriage of convenience required.

 

The moment that Wyett Villin read the ad on her local community’s page, she knew that it would be perfect. It didn’t matter how big the house was, what kinds of animals she had to take care of, or what the compensation was. She didn’t give a flip as long as it got her out of her childhood home and away from the person that she despised the most.

 

Only, she had no clue that by accepting the position, she would be agreeing to watch over the mini-mansion and two large dogs of Hunt McJimpsey, computer hacker extraordinaire, sexy nerd, and convicted felon of Souls Chapel, Texas.

 

She’d meant to make her life easier, not complicate it more.

 

***

 

Hunt McJimpsey was careful. He knew exactly what he was doing and practically planned every single step that he took to make sure that he always had his tracks covered.

 

But one single mistake costs him five years of his life, and if he’s going to go down for the crime, he might as well make it spectacular.

 

Three years into his prison sentence, he’s a changed man, and definitely not for the better.

 

He’s harder, angrier, and even more brilliant and conniving than before he went in.

 

He thinks that by keeping up with his dogs’ babysitter, his property caretaker, and reluctant wife, that he’s only doing his due diligence as a responsible person. Only, what starts out as curiosity for his property turns into genuine like for the woman that is caring for what means the most to him.

 

When an opportunity to get out of the hellhole known as prison arises and the only thing he has to do is join a motorcycle club and sign some of his free time away to help those less fortunate, he jumps at the chance.

 

Not only because he’s ready to get the hell out of prison, but because he’s ready to meet the woman that he’s been falling for, one visit a week, for the last three years.

Kara's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Doin’ A Dime is the fourth book in the Souls Chapel Revenants MC series by Lani Lynn Vale. This is Hunt’s story and I knew it was going to be goooooood! There’s just something about a smart guy in glasses that gets me every time! We’ve known him since the beginning of the series and I absolutely loved his story! He meets Wyett by accident but once he sees her he knows she’s the one he needs. He’s a computer hacker and he’s going to prison. He needs a wife to watch his house and his dogs so he makes sure she’s the one who answers his ad. She needs a place to live and somewhere to feel safe. She goes to visit him and when he gets out early, she’s there for him. He doesn’t want her to leave. She doesn’t want to go. Can they make it work after four years apart? Oh my! Hunt and Wyett were just destined to be together! She is everything he’s ever needed and he’s just what she’s always wanted. They are so hilarious and sexy together that I was laughing one minute and fanning myself the next. The camping scene? The scene in the Target parking lot? OMG. I was dying! And sweet Jesus…Sin, I can’t wait for your story! Gimme, Gimme!

Synopsis

The geek, the jock, and a new set of rules…

Topher-

My friend’s brother needs an academic assistant and I need a job. Problem…jocks are my weakness. Seriously. I lose my ability to speak coherently around muscle-bound hotties. Oh yeah, I lose my inhibitions too—not a good look for a guy with a genius IQ. So what am I going to do about Simon?

Simon-

Finishing college isn’t high on my list of priorities, but my future in professional football is looking bleak. I need a plan B or C, and I could use some help navigating life as an undergrad. Topher is perfect. He’s also a little strange…but in a good way. And I like the way I feel when I’m around him—as though anything is possible. Maybe if we follow our hearts, we’ll find what we’re looking for. But that means changing the rules…

Following the Rules is a MM, bisexual awakening romance starring a lovable nerd, a cool jock, and some extracurricular fun.

Excerpt

I served us both a slice of each kind of pizza and slid a plate his way, gesturing for him to help himself to the cheese or whatever else he might want.

“I don’t care about money,” I said around a mouthful of food. “Eat up. This is tasty, but it won’t be as good when it’s cold.”

Topher flashed an anxious sideways smile and took a mouse-sized nibble. “Mmm, that’s delicious.”

I washed down my pizza with a healthy swig of wine, nudging his knee as I swiveled to face him. “Are you okay?”

He wiped his hands on a napkin and drained half his water, setting it on the island with a decisive thud. “Yes, I’m just a little nervous.”

“Nervous? Oh. I’m sorry.” I frowned and before I could rein my tongue, blurted, “You seemed fine when we were joking about tiny gorilla penises, and hell…you saw my dick and—”

“I wasn’t joking. I was reciting a fact and as far as your penis is concerned…”

I twisted to face him, unable to contain a mischievous grin.

“Yes? I’m waiting,” I singsonged, biting into the ham and pineapple pizza.

“I told you, Simon…I was simply doing the math,” he replied matter-of-factly. “Six and a half inches.”

“Nine.”

Topher narrowed his eyes, his features softening in amusement. “Six and three-quarters, max.”

I scoffed and hooked my thumb under the elastic waistband of my sweats. “Wanna see?”

“No! Geez. You know, it’s very difficult to stay on topic with you. And staying on topic is the only way this will work.”

“Okay, fine. Back to dick size. What animal has the biggest schlong on the planet?”

He gaped at me for a hot second. “The blue whale. It’s estimated to be seven to ten feet long.”

“Whoa!”

“Although I don’t know that it’s ever been measured during intercourse. Or if that’s even possible.” He reached for his pizza with his brow knit in concentration as though pondering whale dick…as one does.

“Whales are huge. It makes sense. What about land animals?”

“Elephants. They’ve legitimately measured specimens in excess of thirty-nine inches.”

“You’ve got to be kidding.” I snort-laughed. “Christ, I’m feeling very inadequate with my mere twelve inches.”

“Six,” Topher scoffed. “Look, before we get sidetracked again, I just want to—”

“I’ll pay you double.”

“What? Why?”

I sighed as I picked up my wineglass. “I don’t want to fail. No…it’s more than that. I need to look smart. I can’t come across as the fuckup wide receiver who got dumped from the NFL and blew the cushy back-door admittance to a prestigious university by failing his first semester. I thought I might be able to muddle through with a few pointers from George, but it’s going to take more than that. I need a real assistant.”

Topher widened his eyes, then blinked in disbelief when I named an exorbitant salary. I had a hard time keeping my own expression. What the hell was I thinking? Did I really need an assistant?

I didn’t know, but I needed…something.

“Oh, that’s a lot of money,” he whispered breathlessly.

“It’s the going rate for a personal assistant. Ironically, I never had one while I played ball, but I need the help now. I want the best, and George says that’s you.”

Topher smiled. “George didn’t say he was the best?”

“Actually, he did. But we can’t be in the same room for an hour without wanting to take a swing at each other.”

“You and George fight?”

“Not as much now that we’re older, but…yeah, I guess we still fight. We don’t have much in common.”

“You and I have even less in common,” he replied.

“That’s a good thing. Trust me, it’s better for me that you don’t know that I slept with a teddy bear until I was thirteen…or that I still have that damn bear for reasons unknown.” I gave a self-deprecating chuckle, then sipped my wine and set it on the island. “So…are you in? Make me smarter, Toph. I need your brain!”

He stared at me for a long moment, inclining his head. “Okay.”

“Yes!” I fist-pumped the air as if I’d just scored a touchdown and held out my hand for a high five.

Topher left me hanging for a few long seconds before gently tapping his palm to mine. I grabbed his wrist to hold him steady for a redo. The contact was light and breezy…and spontaneous. But that was how I rolled. For a guy who played professional football, it was nothing.

However, this didn’t feel like nothing.

Kara's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Following the Rules is the first book new series, The Script Club, by Lane Hayes. It’s a brother’s friend, awakening story full of fun, sexiness, dorkiness and little angst. My favorite kind of book! It’s a feel good story about Simon, the jock and Topher, the nerd. An unlikely pair who happen to be perfect for each other. They are both at pivotal places in their life. Simon needs to finish college while he’s waiting to hear about his future in football and Topher is about to start grad school and looking for the perfect job. Simon needs help with school and Topher is a genius who needs the money. Win win. And the added extra bonus, they have crazy chemistry! I loved their fun banter and the way Simon is so laid back and never questioned his attraction for Topher. Topher cracked me up with his facts and his nervous talking. I couldn’t love these two more if I tried! Looking forward to the next one!

Sandra's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Good to be Bad is the third book in the Good Love series by Lauren Blakely and Lili Valente. Two of my favorite authors! You can read each book has standalone but I recommend reading the series since they are absolutely sexy, funny, and oh, so swoony.
Gigi James loves a good competition. She loves board games, Rubix’s cube, and baking the best pies. She is beautifully unique with her fashion and her ways of having fun. She hasn’t met a man who could love for her. Then, she meet him. A unicorn. A sexy Brit who could solve a Rubix’s cube in under one minute, who can make her melt with his sexy brain, and swoony foreplay while playing Scrabble. One night. That’s all she wanted. She didn’t have time for more but when you catch a unicorn could you let him go?
Hell. No. But when that unicorn turns out to be the competition in a baking event? She has to think about her business. The family business in her hands. Is he worth the risk to Sweetie Pies and more importantly, her heart?
Weston Byron wasn’t looking for love. He didn’t even want to find a date but when he sees her, he just couldn’t resist. He had to have her even if it was just for one night. She captivated him. He had no idea Gigi would change his world. He just had to prove to her that he wasn’t going to hurt her like the arses before him. He loved her quirks. Loved her even more for them.
Omg!! I loved the first two books but this one is my favorite. It’s so much fun and the heat leveled up! The characters are charming, brilliant, and beautiful. I also loved their nerdy sides. I mean, who wouldn’t love to have a library with a ladder?! Swoon.
Quotes:
“Let’s drink to the best kinds of games.”
“And those are?”
I lean close, brush a soft curl of her hair off her shoulder, then press a kiss to the column of her throat. “Bedroom games, of course.”
His words are sexier than his body, and his body is a work of art.
“I don’t bite. Not unless you ask nicely and tell me how hard you like it.”
5 out of 5 stars

Good To Be Bad is the third book in the Good Love series by Lauren Blakely and Lili Valente. Two of my absolute favorites together again. Woo hoo! These two women just make magic when they write together and I love every word! This is Gigi’s story. She’s running her business, living the dream and not looking for a man. But when she hears a sexy British accent attached to a suit wearing hottie, she can’t help but be intrigued and instantly attracted. West can’t help but be attracted to Gigi. She’s funny, sexy, fashionable and asks for what she wants. What’s a little fun now and then, nothing series. Until it’s more. And oh boy, is it more! Gigi and West are so fun together! They have so much in common in and out of the bedroom. Overall, I laughed, cried, got hot and bothered and smiled the entire time.

Audio: Lili Valente and Shane East once again dazzle us! They make the perfect pair and the perfect Gigi and West!

Blurb:

It was only supposed to be one time…

But that red-hot one night stand from the party?

The sexy man in the suit who gave me more Os in a few hours than I’ve had in a year?

Turns out my charming British stranger is keeping a little secret.

He’s as much of a whiz in the kitchen as he is in the bedroom and soon we’ll be going head-to-head in NYC’s biggest bake off.

My one-time lover is now my enemy. I vow to loathe him for all eternity, though that would be easier if I wasn’t dying to get naked with him again.

But the more I learn more about my rival, the more I suspect he just might be everything I’ve wanted…

If only I knew how to let him in…

Release Day Blitz & Review – Off the Record, Kristen Proby

May 11, 2021 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By

Off the Record: A With Me in Seattle Mafia Novel by Kristen Proby is now live!

From New York Times Bestselling Author Kristen Proby comes the thrilling conclusion to her With Me in Seattle Mafia series…

Rafe “Rocco” Martinelli was never one for the family business. Alas, being born into a crime syndicate means doing the family’s bidding and making sure you’re connected–and, yes, breaking a few kneecaps. Rafe would love nothing more than to hang up his enforcer apron and live a quiet life, but as more and more higher-ups in rival clans turn up dead, Rafe realizes he doesn’t have a choice. Especially not when the captivating and gorgeous bratva princess needs his help. Dr. Annika Tarenkov learned early on that her belongs to her family. She’s a pawn in the long game, a bargaining chip for power and prestige. She gave up the only person in her life she thought she could be happy with, all for the greater good of the family. Now, a newly made widow and desperately seeking answers, she’s forced to confront her past as it converges with her present. But all it does is make her wonder about her future and how she can make Rafe hers again. While being with him is like wrangling a toddler at times, he still makes her heart race and her breath catch. And she wouldn’t feel safer with anyone else.

Sandra's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Off the Record is the third book in the With Me in Seattle Mafia series by Kristen Proby. You can read each book as standalone but I highly recommend reading the series since they are tied together by family and friends. Two of the Martinelli men have found their happily ever afters and now it’s time for Rocco aka Rafe to finally get his.
Rafe fell in love with Annika ten years ago while they were in college. Torn apart due to their families being enemies. They had to move on. Annika was married. Rocco works within the family business as a killer and a pilot. They have seen each other over the years but they had to avoid one another. That didn’t mean they forgot the way the other made them feel. Loved. Adored. Wanted. Desired. Safe. But they could never be…
Right? F*ck that. Annika was lived through hell over the last ten years and it was time to get her life back. But first, it was time to kick some ass, and take some names. With Rafe on her side. A man who never stopped loving her. But can she get over her insecurities of being damaged goods?
I ♥️them!! I have loved this whole series. These friends and family are protective, sweet, badass, swoony, and sexy. Annika’s badassness was unexpected from the woman I met in the first book. She is messing around. And Rafe…yum!! Such a romantic. *swoon*. The writing is addictive. There are definitely some twists I didn’t see coming and I love that!
Quotes:
He lifts his bag off the floor and follows me up the stairs. I can feel his eyes on my ass. He always did have a thing for my behind. “It’s just a butt, Rafe.”
“A grade-A one,” he agrees, his voice filled with a grin.
God, I missed flirting with him.
“They’re all going to pay,” Annika says and turns back to me. Her mind is made up. I’ve never seen her this…fierce.
It’s a fucking turn-on.
“A man should have to earn this, A. And I just have to say, if you were hot then, and you were, you’re beyond my wildest dreams now.”
