April 25, 2023 | Posted in Cover Reveal | By Two Book Pushers
A Cruel Arrangement by Tijan is now live!
This was my place. My business. Easter Lanes.
Then a guy comes in, trying to rob me, daring to take it away from me.
My home. My life.
Hell no. I won’t let my livelihood be threatened.
No one knows what I’ve done to build this life for myself.
Except he might.
Ashton Walden, a man I remember from when we were kids.
Even back then I could tell how dangerous he would be one day.
He’s now the head of the Walden mafia family, and my father is so in debt to them that they practically own him.
My dad and I are estranged and I want nothing to do with him or his debt, but the day after the attempted robbery, I don’t wake up in the hospital.
I wake up in Ashton Walden’s home. And he drops a bomb on me.
If I want my livelihood back, I need to earn it back.
And thus begins our cruel arrangement.

Release Blitz & Review – Makes The Heart Grow Fouler
April 21, 2023 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By Two Book Pushers
NEW AGE GAP, SINGLE FATHER ROMANCELooking for a grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, rockstar romance? Say no more! Carrie Aarons’ just released Makes the Heart Grow Fouler, and it’s just as steamy as it is angsty! A famous country singer is giving the first interview in his twenty year plus career to a much younger journalist and makes her move into his compound to observe him because he refuses to sit down and talk to her.
READ IT NOW IN KU: mybook.to/MtHGF
BLURB:Never meet your hero, because they’ll probably turn out to be a villain.
That thought didn’t even cross my mind when the magazine I work for assigned me to do a feature article on Dane, the greatest country singer of our generation. You know, the kind of celebrity who doesn’t require a last name because they’re that prolific.
Along with being one of my favorite artists, the notoriously private man has never given an interview in his twenty-year career, so this piece could make mine. Unfortunately, from the minute I step foot on his massive Texas compound, Dane is determined to break it.
Between his icy stares, lewd gestures, and mocking comments, the one week time table to ask him my questions comes and goes with zero answers. But for some reason, he won’t pull out of the article. And when he insists I move into his guest house in order to observe him, since he refuses to sit down one-on-one, I have no choice but to suck it up for my job.
After the year I’ve had, and the outside world I no longer want any part of, the seclusion is almost welcome. That is, if it didn’t include a sexy recluse who seems hellbent on messing with me. Working with someone I despise wouldn’t be so hard if it meant going home at the end of the day.
From his checkered past, to the rumors about his love life, to the fact that he vanished from the music scene five years ago, to the teenage daughter he’s raised as a single father her entire life … there is so much to unpack in order to learn the truth about the man buried beneath the ink covering his skin.
But the real danger comes when Dane drops the curtain completely, allowing me to see every side of him. Because it makes me want to show him every damaged part of myself.
Except two such opposite, but equally broken, people can never find a happily ever after. Especially since a villain has no heart. So what do I do when the fallen hero I can’t have wants to give me his?

About the Book
Her: Just a word, yet one person came to mind.
Morrigan St. Pete.
The woman that’d been hounding my every step since the day she was born. From the moment we first comforted each other in the hospital, to the day that I left her to follow her dreams, I knew that she was my one.
Through marriage, divorce, and a prison sentence, I had low expectations when it came to her ever coming around to my way of life. What kind of woman wanted a man that’d been to prison, had a child that disliked him and everything he stood for, and had zero prospects in life?
But then she popped into my life again, and that feeling of suffocation slacked off for the first time since I let her go.
***
The first time I tried to come back to Aodhan, I found him married with a kid on the way.
The second time I tried, he was heading to jail.
As one would say, the third time is the charm, right? Wrong.
The third time, he was divorced, fresh from prison, had a kid, and was again with his ex-wife.
That was the final nail in my coffin. I decided to give up.
I would do anything and everything I could to avoid him. Hiding wasn’t beneath me.
I only wish he’d stuck with my plan, because the moment he sees me again, it’s like he’s seen the light. Avoiding him is impossible when he goes out of his way to insinuate himself into every aspect of my life.
If only life was as perfect as my dreams.
The Voices Are Back is the fifth book in the Gator Bait MC series by Lani Lynn Vale. I’ve been wondering about Aodhon’s story since we met him. It was an interesting second chance story that had me scratching my head a few times. I enjoyed a lot about it and found it entertaining, but it wasn’t my favorite of the series. I did like Aodhon and Morrigan both and felt for them that they missed out on a lot of years together. Most of which were out of their control. Once they figured it all out they could truly be happy. Then they had to deal with a few obstacles and people in their way. Loved, loved, loved the Epilogue! Looking forward to the next in the series!

I need a fake ex-husband.
Let me explain …
I may have let it slip to my new co-workers that I have an ex-husband. Now they’re fascinated with the details, specifically with him.
Why wouldn’t they be? He’s gorgeous, has exceptional skills in the bedroom, and is determined to win me back.
But there’s a problem. He doesn’t exist.

Release Blitz & Review – Destined for Me, Corinne Michaels
April 11, 2023 | Posted in Cover Reveal | By Two Book Pushers
“I won’t ever hurt you, Hadley. I won’t.” “I know.”
Destined for Me, an all-new emotional Come Back for Me/Say You’ll Stay Crossover novella from New York Times bestselling author Corinne Michaels is available now!
From New York Times Bestselling author Corinne Michaels comes an Arrowood-Hennington crossover next generation novella.
No one makes my blood boil like Cayden Hennington. When I finished second in my class in law school, he finished first. We interned at the same firm—he got hired while I didn’t. Now we’re opposing counsel on my first big solo case, and I refuse to lose to him.
I will not think about the way his lips taste or how he makes my heart race. I won’t dream of that night we argued until our clothes came off.
That night is irrelevant because I am over him. (I’m also lying to myself).
However, we’re both professionals, right? Wrong. One stupid drink is all it takes after six hours of intense negotiations to find myself right back in his arms and in a world of trouble.
There is a thin line between love and hate, and we are destined to choose a side.
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Keep reading for a look inside Destined for Me!
“It’s too bad my client had to walk away from your attempt at fixing the contract,” a deep voice that has taunted me for five years says from the edge of my office door. Cayden. Fucking. Benson-Hennington. The bane of my existence. It doesn’t matter that I am an associate at my law firm. That I have more billable hours than any other associates—and probably more than him—even though he was hired at the firm we both interned at while I was not. I swear, it’s his life’s mission to always be one step above me. Not today, Satan. “Well, your client is an idiot, and should take the deal I presented. Believe me, you won’t get a better chance to fix the mess you made. There won’t be another offer.” His wide grin makes my stomach flip. “We’ll see.” “Yes, I think we will. Was there something you needed?” He steps inside—uninvited I might add—and takes a seat. “By all means, make yourself comfortable.” “Look, Hadley, we both know that your client was asking for way too many concessions. To have two seats on the board would give them controlling votes. Come on, you know that was an error.” “Maybe so, but it wasn’t my error, it was yours.” To be fair, it wasn’t really his error. Cayden took over this negotiation after his client used another firm who clearly botched the contract. Still, it’s his issue at the very least. “No, but it is my mess and I plan to clean it up. By the end of this, my beautiful nightmare, you will be walking out with less than you came in with.” He’s so arrogant, ugh, I want to kiss him. I mean punch him. Punch. Not kiss. No, no, been there and done that. Never again. “So you want to rob these people of their entire life’s work?” “I want my client to get what they deserve.” I bet he does. This man has no soul. “Do you forget where you come from?” I ask. Cayden grew up in Tennessee. His family owns a horse ranch that they have had for generations. Literally a blue collar, farming family. The same as my clients. They were approached to sell their land, giving up their legacy, all so his client’s company can dismantle it and make it into a resort or a strip mall. Therefore, I don’t think asking for something to help safeguard either of those from happening is a concession they shouldn’t ask for. It’s only fair that their children have at least a little left at the end of this. “Of course, I know where I came from.” “And if this were your parents, how would you advise them?” He leans forward, resting his forearms on his knees. His green eyes fixed on me. “That’s where we differ, Arrowood…these aren’t my parents. They’re my clients and my goal is to get them everything they want.” I get up and walk around the desk, resting my ass just on the edge. His gaze moves down to my legs and up, lingering a bit on my chest. I watch as a flicker of desire flashes across his face, and I wonder if he’s picturing me naked. Remembering that stupid night we spent together in college. Lord knows I am—not. Nope, I’m not. I won’t. Because it was a mistake. Sure, I’ll go with that. Good thing I have an incredible poker face. “What are you thinking about?” his voice is low and husky. You and me on the floor, ripping each other’s clothes off. Or the desk, that would be equally fine. “I’m thinking about how arrogant and ridiculous you are. You came to my office to what?” I keep my tone even.For More Information about Corinne Michaels, visit her website: https://corinnemichaels.com/

Review Tour – The Rules of Dating My Best Friend’s Sister – Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward
April 7, 2023 | Posted in Blog Tour, Review | By Two Book Pushers
The Rules of Dating My Best Friend’s Sister is the second book in The Law of Opposites Attract series by the fabulous writing duo of Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward. I’ve been hoping we’d get more stories from this group of friends and I’m so glad Holden was next! He’s the sexy, handsome drummer with a heart of gold. Yeah, he was a playboy, but he just never met the right woman. Well, that’s not entirely accurate. He met her years ago and had a major crush. She just happens to be Ryan’s sister! His best friend who passed away. He never thought he’d have the opportunity to act on his feelings, but now she’s living next door to him and the more he sees her the more he likes her. Yes, he wants her in his bed, but he just wants to be with her. Talk to her. Laugh with her. Like they used to do when they were younger. But she’s engaged, so friends it is. Well mostly. Holden can’t exactly hide his feelings or his intentions but he won’t cross that line. He might step over it and then quickly step back, but ultimately it’s Lala’s choice to make. I enjoyed a lot about this book. Mainly, Holden. I found him genuine and caring and I connected with him and his indecision to pour his heart out but afraid because he wasn’t sure what Lala wanted. He felt like she just wanted the physical when he wanted it all. I didn’t connect with her at all. She was just meh for me and I’m not sure if it was that line into the cheating or just the miscommunication that bothered me. I also didn’t love the lack of support from his best friends. Yeah, we know he’s not had relationships and loves women, but I thought they were pretty harsh and not understanding at all. I’m glad I read it, I really wanted his story, and in the end I was happy with the way it all played out. I loved seeing Billie and Colby again too!

BLURB
Some men are just off-limits. Like your ex-boyfriend’s father.
But when I met the sexy, powerful older man shortly after my business school graduation, he was simply the seductive stranger I wanted to notice me, and he sure did.
Fast forward a few months later, when my college ex – now a good friend – introduces me to the person he looks up to most…his father.
The man I spent that one hot night with.
I should stay far away from the commanding business mogul. But my ex and I are planning a charity fundraiser that involves late nights at his dad’s penthouse in Manhattan.
Nights where he can’t stop looking at me with desire in his eyes that matches my own.
I try to resist him, playing the good girl in the city…mostly.
He’s the perfect gentleman…until he comes knocking on my door and tells me exactly what he wants to do to me.
And I say yes.
Stealing nights with him like this is supposed to be wrong, but it feels so right. And when he saves the day to protect his son at the fundraiser, my heart wants him as much as my body does.
Can we ever be more than just a tryst?
The Tryst is the second book in the Virgin Society series by Lauren Blakely. I have read every single story Lauren has written and I have loved them all. This age gap, single dad, forbidden romance somehow hit me hard! Nick is just so perfect. He’s mature, sexy and smart. But he’s also caring, sweet, thoughtful and such a wonderful father. Layla is smart, beautiful and wise beyond her years. She’s driven and successful and wants to make a name for herself. A chance meeting at a business conference leads to a sexy one-night stand that seems like so much more. Nick is enchanted by Layla and not just because she’s beautiful. She’s smart and wants to her business to succeed. Neither of them are bothered by the age difference and they make no promises for more even though they both want more. A few months later they run into each other again and Layla finds out Nick is her ex-boyfriend’s dad. Now they can’t see each other again even if they wanted to. But fate seems to be throwing them together and they have to fight to stay apart. Until the pull is just too much. Nick doesn’t want to lose his son and Layla doesn’t want to lose her friend. But what are their options? Tell the truth, trust in each other and take the risk? Oh boy! I can’t say enough about how fantastic this book is. It’s one of my favorites of Lauren’s! Nick and Layla both have things from their past who defined who they are today. It didn’t break them, it only made them stronger. My heart hurt for both of them and I shed a lot of tears while reading this story! But I also laughed a lot and felt hopeful! I also loved the interaction between Nick and his son and Nick and his dad. It was just so real to me! I love makeup and I want to watch Layla’s videos! And of course we see Harlow, Ethan and Jules again! I love these friends so much. They are so supportive of each other and open and honest. Friendship goals! Overall, I loved it. I laughed, cried, smiled, sighed and had to fan myself. I can’t wait for more in the series!
