Pre-Order Blitz & Review – Perfect Kiss, Lacey Black
June 30, 2021 | Posted in Promo, Review | By Two Book Pushers
Perfect Kiss is part of the Mason Creek series featuring many authors. This one is by one of my favorites, Lacey Black. I haven’t read the other books yet but it does make me want to since I just know some of the supporting characters have their own books.
Malcolm is the Mayor of Mason Creek after following in his dad and grandpa’s footsteps. They are also lawyers in the small town of three-thousand. Unlike his dad and grandpa, he is a bachelor and has dated many women in town and not looking to settle down anytime soon. He never felt a connection until he saw her. A woman who surprised him from the very first moment he saw her. He was intrigued by the woman who seems shy but he saw through her while she saw all of him. He had to know more about her. He knew she was a single mom and a new business owner in town. And that she was beautiful and had the sweetest blush. Will she be the one to bring him to his knees?
Leni moved back home six-months ago with her five-year-old son, Trace. She wanted to be with her family and for Trace to get to know them. She owned two businesses, one cleaning houses and businesses and one owning the laundromat. She had no idea one of those jobs would lead her to him. The mayor. She heard the rumors. It’s a small town after-all. They may be true and after meeting him, they most likely were. He was definitely a charmer and she didn’t have time for all that business but he seemed to be everywhere. Especially when he was a new client.
I love these two!! They are unexpected. Sexy. Fun. And full of heart. I loved how they surprised each other. And the way Trace was right there with them was awesome. Lacey is amazing at including children into her stories. Perfect Kiss had the perfect blend of laughter, charm, heat, love, and family.
Quotes:
She tastes as sweet as honey. Her lips are like sin, ripe and made for kissing.
I want more.
“Oh, Lenora. You’re a temptation I wasn’t expecting.”
“You better be comparing the size of the fish you caught earlier in the day,” Grayson states with humor in his voice as he joins us in the kitchen.

Quarterback Keeper is a short, sexy, funny and sweet novella by the talented Lacey Black. I love a good brother’s best friend romance and add in a surprise baby? Double the goodness! Tate is Ashtyn’s twin brother’s best friend. They aren’t close, but they spend one night together, celebrating her new job, drinking and talking. He’s more than she thought he would be. And he wants her. She should say no, he’s a famous NFL quarterback, but she doesn’t want to. Their chemistry is too good to pass up. But then he’s gone in the morning, but never forgotten. She’ll always have his baby to remember him by. But then he shows up at her door with her brother and he’s not going to let her get away again. Tate hasn’t stopped thinking about Ash since the one night they spent together. He hasn’t been partying like he used to. Hasn’t been picking up women. She just got to him and he can’t believe she’s here. And she has a baby. One look at her son and he knows it’s his. And he’s not running away this time. Will Tate and Ashtyn realize there’s more between them than their son? I loved this story. So much! It might be a novella, but it never feels that way. It’s well developed, fast-paced and I fell hard and fast for the characters. Tate is sexy and sweet and I love the way he looks at her and his son. Ash is smart, funny and such a good mom. Overall, I laughed, teared up, smiled and loved it.
What happens when you’re left with more than just the memories of an incredible night together?

Release Day & Reviews- Don’t Go Away Mad, Lacey Black
June 29, 2021 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By Two Book Pushers
Jasper
The kitchen: it’s my domain, where I create the best burgers in the Midwest. I’m the man behind the grill at Burgers and Brew, the restaurant and bar I co-own with my best friends. Every night, we’re packed, the demand has never been this high. It’s the only way I want it, thriving and pushing myself to be the very best.
Then she started her new business across the street from mine.
The one woman who always got under my skin, who pushed me to be better. Lyndee was my biggest rival in school and my biggest regret.
Now, she’s in town, and as much as I try, I just can’t stay away.
I want her.
Lyndee
A new start: that’s what Stewart Grove means for me and my brother. He’s the one who pushed me to take the chance on opening my own bakery. I am ready for the long hours, the grueling schedule, and the hard work it will take to be successful.
I wasn’t at all prepared to come face-to-face with the man across the street.
An almost kiss in college with the world’s most infuriating man has haunted me for the last decade. Now Jasper’s here, and I don’t think I can resist him.
Things are about to heat up in and out of the kitchen.
I just pray I don’t get burned.
Don’t Go Away Mad is the second book in the Burgers and Brew Crüe series by Lacey Black. You can read each book as standalone but I highly recommend reading Kickstart my Heart. It’s where it all started with this Brew Crüe of four friends turned business partners.
Jasper is a culinary genius in the kitchen. He didn’t think he would be flipping burgers when he opened his first restaurant but he loves it. They are not just cheeseburgers but masterpieces with dirty names. He was the best and he knew it. His town knew it. His friends knew it. And now it looks like the one woman who best him in college was about to know. She was right across the street opening her own bakery and he was not happy about it. Why was she here in his town? Did she do it on purpose to get under his skin? He wasn’t just going to sit around and let her get away with it. The problem? He wants her. Madly.
Lyndee was starting over. She wasn’t running away from anything awful but she and her brother wanted something new. So, why not open a bakery in a small town, it was her dream. And her brother was right beside her. She was excited and nervous and what she didn’t expect was to see him. Jasper Kohlmann. She hasn’t seen him in ten years and now he was right across the street! He was a man she never forgot. He was her rival in the kitchen. He pushed her every day to do better. He was an ass but he also had an amazing one. She also saw more to him but nothing ever happened. Close but no cigar. It will never happen.
Never say never.
Omg! I love these two! Jasper is soooo good with words. Sometimes. In the best times. But really, he is a mood bastard in the kitchen but he wants perfection. He is also sweet, loyal, and has a soft spot for a few girls in his life. Of course, one of those girls is Lizzie! That girl is stinkin’ adorable!! Lyndee is a sweetheart with a little badass mixed in. She definitely doesn’t take Jasper’s shit especially in the kitchen. These two are fire! 🔥
Quotes:
“Is Jasper Kohlmann a closet romantic?” I tease, picking up a tablet and taking a bite. The flavor exploding on my tongue.
Jasper snorts. “Uhh, no You don’t get romance with me, sweets.”
“No?” I ask, slowly chewing the delicious food.
“Nope. No or Roses here. But if you want mind-blowing orgasms, and lots of them, I’m your man.”
“Fuck, why is it I feel so completely reckless and helpless at the exact same time when I’m around you?” He whispers, sliding his lips across my skin, the roughness of his stubble causing goosebumps on my entire body.
“Pwease, Uncle Jasper? I’ve been weally dood all day!” Little hands wrap around my neck as she brushes a kiss to my cheek.
My heart literally turns to mush-in a very manly way, of course.

Kitty Kitty
Souls Chapel Revenants MC Book 5
Lani Lynn Vale
Release Date: June 29, 2021
About the Book
This is the story of a man falling in love with a woman.
A man that was supposed to be a role model, and a woman that was just barely twenty-one.
A man who should’ve known better, and a woman that didn’t know that she was destroying his career word by word, innocent touch by innocent touch, smile by smile, until it had already imploded.
The world collapses around Absinthe ‘Sin’ Solomon, and the only thing he can do is try not to take her down with him.
The moment the inevitable happens, and the gavel bangs signaling that he will spend the next nine years in prison for attempted murder, Sin tries to let go. But Blaise Mackenzie has never, not ever, been one to give up without a fight.
Her military career might be over, but her career as a prison guard is just about to get started.
And her favorite prisoner? A pissed-off older man, a drill sergeant dishonorably discharged from the Army that tells himself daily that the new ‘Kitty Kitty’ female prison guard is not for him.
After following him around for years, watching over him from afar in any way she can, Sin is released early. And the first person that he’s going to see? A stubborn little blonde-headed female that should’ve known better than to trust a man like him.

Kitty Kitty is the fifth book in the Souls Chapel Revenants MC series by Lani Lynn Vale. I’m loving this series! Kitty Kitty is Sin and Blaise’s story! I knew Sin’s story was going to be good! Sin saved Blaise’s life but he went to prison for it. Blaise wasn’t just going to let that go so she becomes a prison guard and she follows him around. Sin knows he should not look at her or talk to her, but he can’t help himself. He still needs to protect her. They have one hot encounter in the prison and then he gets transferred and then out early. He can’t believe his luck. Out of prison, given a job with a special group of men and then Blaise shows up. Now’s his chance to have the woman he’s wanted for years. They have a lot to talk about and a lot of missed time to make up for. Their chemistry is off the charts hot! Their banter is freaking hilarious and Sin is as alpha as they come. Wowzas. They have a shared past and a future to look forward but it’s not always that easy. I loved this couple! Sin is so sexy and grumpy and Blaise is hilarious and badass!! I can’t wait for the next one!

Blog Tour & Reviews – Good Intentions, Ella Frank
June 24, 2021 | Posted in Blog Tour, Review | By Two Book Pushers
Gabriel Romero made me hungry for things I’d never wanted, and starved of the things I didn’t think I’d ever need. Until now… Until him…
Good Intentions, the all-new, seriously hot age-gap romance and the conclusion to the Intentions Duet from USA Today bestselling author Ella Frank is available now!
I was never the man who believed in love, romance, or happily ever afters. I was married to my work, and happy to be that way. Until one night, not too long ago, when an audacious young man lied his way into my life and showed me what I’d been missing.
Bold and sexy, with a face that could melt through the iciest of exteriors, Gabriel Romero is the one factor I never saw coming. There are so many reasons we shouldn’t work—my age, his, our career goals in life—and yet we are drawn together by a passion for music, and each other, that neither of us can deny.
I’ve always been the one to think things through, to follow my head instead of my heart. But if I don’t open myself to what’s possible, instead of thinking of all the ways this seems impossible, I might miss out on the best thing that has ever happened to me.
So I’m taking a chance, and laying myself at his mercy, opening my heart with nothing but good intentions. Only time will tell if Gabriel Romero decides to let me back in.
Good Intentions is the second book in the Intentions Duet.

Good Intentions is the second book in the Intentions duet by Ella Frank. You can not read this one without reading Bad Intentions first. If you are a fan of Ella’s but haven’t started this duet then do it! There are some cameos that you do not want to miss.
Gabe spent the week with Marcus and now it was Marcus’s turn to see how Gabe lives. No driver. No calling in for dinners. No fancy restaurants. They definitely have the chemistry but they are from two different worlds and have a twenty year age gap. They have fun, hot nights, and seem to get each other but is it all enough? They are both at a crossroads in their careers. They have important decisions to make but have only just started their relationship. Can they have it all?
Aw!! I just love this couple. They are both intense and adorable. They are just so much fun and full of sarcasm and heat. And, all the cameos…loved it. So much. I am hoping there is a spin-off for a certain someone. 💞
Quotes:
“I can’t remember what my days were like without talking to you, and I don’t want to.”
“I’m the oldest person in here for as far as the eye can see.”
Gabe ran a hand up my chest. “The sexiest too, and I bet you’re going to look real hot holding an axe.”
I narrowed my eyes. “I’m starting to really question your sanity.”
“Priest, you’re a lifesaver. Actually, Julien is. Let’s go eat before I pass out from hunger.”
“Or get even more delightful from it,” Mr. Madison muttered.
“Yeah, yeah, whatever. Come on, Gabe, you’re about to experience the best thing you’ve ever had in your mouth.” Priest chuckled as Logan stopped in his tracks.
Then my boss grinned at me. “Well, food-wise, anyway.”
Good Intentions is the conclusion to Marcus St. James and Gabriel Romero’s story! I love, love, love these two men! Marcus is older, successful and hasn’t smiled this much in years. Gabe is young, talented and on the upswing of his music career. They are committed to each other and find themselves falling fast. But they both have decisions to make about their futures. Separately and together. Take a chance on love? Put your heart on the line for forever? Oh my! I couldn’t love this book more! Gabe and Marcus might be decades apart in years, but they have more in common than any two people should. They know what they want and they go after it. Period. And they want each other and won’t let anything get in their way. I could read five more books about them, so I hope we see them again! I also loved seeing some our my favorites again. Ella loves us and always gives us what we want!

From Wall Street Journal & USA Today Bestselling Author M. Robinson & #1 NYT Bestselling Author Rachel Van Dyken comes a full length, standalone dark romance novel.
“Play for me, Juliet…”
Those four words whispered in my ear again and again until I craved what I used to fear.
Such a simple demand from my captor—the man who stole me and refused to tell me why he wouldn’t let me go.
I was his.
He made me need him, just as much as he needed me.
I broke all the rules of the golden prison he put me in.
During the day he ruled his dark, seedy world.
His subjects and me.
During the night—he bowed before my feet.
Have you ever wondered what happened to the villains in all the fairy tales you read?
You’ll soon find out.
It all started when he kidnapped me and made me his pet.
And it all ended with me…
Calling him master.

Release Day Blitz & Review – Control Artist, Carrie Aarons
June 18, 2021 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By Two Book Pushers
Dahlia Akana has no idea where she’s going in life.
All she’s ever wanted to do is travel, and her inner circle pressuring her to figure out her purpose only makes her wanderlust grow stronger. But she’s comfortable being a nanny to her nieces in the small Pennsylvania town where her sister lives. Though she’s far overstayed her desired timeline, it’s a place filled with friends and familiarity while she plots her next move.
Until she meets the devastatingly gorgeous, obnoxious rookie who is slated to be the next superstar on the town’s top tier baseball team. He’s everything she doesn’t want, but can’t seem to stay away from. As they spend more time together, she discovers that he might just be the anchor she’s always looked for.
When secrets, lies, and a humiliating public scandal rock their world, will she be able to stay with him? Fight for him? Or will her age-old tactic of fleeing erase any shot at a happily ever after?
Garrett Chester has always known exactly what he wants.
To be the best pitcher in the history of the major leagues. And luckily, with more talent in his pinky than other people have in their entire body, he’s well on his way. It’s his attitude that leaves something to be desired. Cocky, reckless and soaking up his newfound fame, the rookie attracts the attention of the tabloid press.
When he meets the feisty woman just as beautiful as the flower she’s named after, she gives him a refreshing reality check. With each passing day, not only does he fall harder, but she makes him want to be a better man.
Except the past that haunts him inevitably catches up, and ends up taking her down with him. Alone, exposed and cast out, it’s a reminder of the childhood trauma that has always plagued him. Can he put the rumors to rest, piece together a career in shambles, and be the hero she needs?
mybook.to/ControlArtist
Control Artist is the fourth book in the Callahan Family series by Carrie Aarons. Each can be read as standalone since they are different couples but I highly recommend reading the series since they are tied together. If you have then you have met Dahlia (Hannah’s sister) and Garrett (the rookie).
Dahlia moved to Packton two years to support her sister and nanny her nieces. It was supposed to be temporary but she hasn’t had the pull to move on. Yet. Which is surprising to her since she was a nomad and loved to travel and not settle in one place. Her family doesn’t get it. They just want her to be happy and Hannah doesn’t see that. Dahlia doesn’t see her future tied to one man! Children, and a white picket fence. She doesn’t want that. She wants to be free. Garrett would be perfect for just that. A roll in the hay with the rookie with a Texas drawl except he was just too young and too cocky for her. But he was persistent, and someone who is that cocky about his bedroom skills usually can back them up. Would giving up her resolve be worth it?
Garrett was new to this lifestyle. Money, women, parties, and everything he could ever ask for. He grew up poor and was living it up. He finally made it to the Big Show and after his rookie year, he was living high. Too high. No, not drugs. The lifestyle. He was arrogant, cocky, and stubborn. He knew his game was on top but now his personal life was hitting the tabloids. Baseball was his life. He wouldn’t go back to the trailer park. But what was wrong with having a little fun? And he knew he would have fun with the feisty Dahlia. He wanted her and he wasn’t going to just walk away from a challenge. But once he had a taste, he wanted more and more. To know her. To enjoy her. He might have been the playboy but she was the nomad. Would should take the risk with him to become more than sex buddies? Would the tabloids ruin everything before they could really get started?
This series just keeps getting better and better. I am not sure if there is more to come but I sure hope so! Garrett is cocky yes but he is also sweet, misunderstood, and a hot mess. I loved seeing all of his sides. The shameless flirt. And he met his match with Dahlia. She is a badass who feels a little lost but knows she will find her way. I love them both. Together, they are explosive and a little out of control, and sweet and it’s them. They made me laugh, cry, and get hot and bothered. ♥️
Quotes:
“I just met you, you’re my boss, and you’re complimenting my boobs? I think I found my new best friend.” I laugh.
She winks at me and takes on a valley girl accent. “That’s because I’m like, a cool boss, not a regular boss.”
“And a Mean Girls reference? Marry me.” I wink back at her.
“You feel like dancing, darlin’?” That deep voice is much too close to the sensitive slope of my ear. I don’t move though, and stop my body from swaying, not wanting to give him the upper hand.
“I hate country music.”
“Aw, sweetheart, that’s not what your hips were saying a moment ago.” That tone is pure sex.
His mouth is vicious, searing hot, and skilled beyond his years. He wasn’t lying when he said he could make me come so many times I’d lose my voice, because with the way his tongue is filthily commanding mine, I can feel an orgasm building. From just a kiss.
Author of romance novels such as The Tenth Girl and Privileged, Carrie Aarons writes books that are just as swoon-worthy as they are sarcastic. A former journalist, she
prefers the love stories of her imagination, and the athleisure dress code, much better.
When she isn’t writing, Carrie is busy binging reality TV, having a love/hate relationship with cardio, and trying not to burn dinner. She’s a Jersey girl living in Texas with her husband, daughter, son and Great Dane/Lab rescue.
