New Release & Review – Mr. Important, Lucy Lennox & May Archer

March 14, 2024 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By

 

One New Year’s masquerade. One anonymous hookup. One billionaire-sized mistake.

Once upon a time, someone looked at my scrawny, impetuous eight-year-old self and nicknamed me Mr. Important… and I believed them.

That was my first mistake.

Two decades, a dozen failed careers, and a thousand meaningless hookups later, I’ve made more mistakes than I can count. My parents have decided I’m purely decorative, my brother thinks I need pep talks, and the gorgeous billionaire who hired me as a favor to my dad? He’s forgotten I exist.

So I’m done with mistakes.

Call it my New Year’s resolution. From now on, I’m going after what I want… starting with the mysterious silver fox in the Roman warrior mask who approached me at the charity gala and offered me a scorching, anonymous one-night stand.

Unfortunately, when our masks come off I realize mistakes are not done with me.

Because the bossy guy who blew my mind? He’d thought I was someone else. Worse than that, he’s my father’s friend. A supposedly-straight workaholic. The person I’m stuck on a road trip with for the next two weeks. And, oh yeah, my actual boss.

The farther we get from New York, the closer we become, and the harder it is to pretend I’m not falling for him. But I can’t see how someone as brilliant, controlled, and successful as Thatcher Pennington would risk everything to be with someone like me… even if he makes me feel like I’m finally Mr. Important.

 

 

Kara's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Mr. Important is the next book in the Honeybridge series by Lucy Lennox and May Archer. This has some of my favorite tropes: Age gap, father’s friend and forced proximity. We met Reagan and Thatcher in Firecracker and I was so happy to hear this was their story. Older, billionaire friend of his dad’s and his boss who he has to spend weeks with on a bus cruising around the country for work. After one hot as sin night together. What?! Reagan is young, but he’s not innocent or naïve. He’s had a crush on Thatcher for a long time and now he has to pretend he doesn’t while he spends all day and night with him. Thatcher can’t stop thinking about the night they spent together. After spending time together he realizes Reagan is smart, dedicated, talented and nothing like his father always said he was. He’s captivating and charming all the people he meets. Most of all he’s charming Thatcher. Time’s almost up and Thatcher can’t stay away from Reagan anymore. Once he touches him again, he knows he’s going to want more and more. When they need to make a stop in Honeybridge, they have to deal with Thatcher’s son Brantleigh (who we also met in Firecracker), a disgruntled employee and Reagan’s family. It takes Reagan needing him for Thatcher to jump into action and want to be there for someone he loves. Yep, he fell in love with his friend’s son. But he’s not going back. I loved, loved, loved this story! Reagan and Thatcher are so fun and great together. They work so well together at the company and in the bedroom. I also loved McGee and some of the secondary characters. Don’t forget to get the bonus story!

New Release & Review – If You Hate Me, Helena Hunting

March 7, 2024 | Posted in New Release, Review | By

 

It’s release day for If You Hate Me, a brand new standalone hate-to-love, brother’s best friend hockey romance from Helena Hunting.
My new roommates are two pro hockey players.
First, my manwhore older brother, and second, his seriously hot best friend (who I seriously hate).
This was a last resort.
No one should be sleeping on a futon that smells like Cheetos and ball sweat.
But here I am, trying to get my life together.
Tristan Stiles is the bane of my existence.
He never wears a shirt.
We can’t seem to stop fighting.
He’s an arrogant playboy with a filthy reputation.
Sure, I had a crush on him when I was fourteen, but that was a long time ago.
I know better than to trust him.
I just need to survive long enough to find a new job and get a new place.
And not accidentally let Tristan rail me into next week.
𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗶𝗻 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱
4.5 out of 5 stars

If You Hate Me is the first book in a new hockey series by Helena Hunting. (Pause for major cheers!) I’m already looking forward to more in the series and trying to pair all the characters up in my head. This is a brother’s best friend, enemies to lovers and it was fun, emotional, and extremely spicey. I think this is the spiciest book I’ve read of Helena’s. Rix and Tristan legit hate each other. But all that hate is just foreplay. They’ve known each other since they were young, but now they are living together temporarily and after all that foreplay the hate just explodes into lust of epic proportions. They agree it’s just until she finds a new place to live. After that, every available moment, surface and place is on the sexy list. Then those pesky feelings creep in and Tristan can’t handle them. His past is just too much for him to move past and realize he’s allowed to be happy. To be loved. Rix didn’t want to fall for Tristan, but she did and now she doesn’t know what to do. He keeps running and she can’t keep chasing him. Tristan needs to get his crap together or he’s going to lose the best thing that’s ever happened to him. I really like Rix and Tristan and this new set of characters! There were a few scenes that had me covering my eyes and ears and a few that I felt detracted from the story. Tristan is a filthy, dirty man and Rix loved it. I loved their banter and the times when Tristan was sweet and aggressive. I had the pleasure of listening to the audio and Conner and CJ really killed it! Overall, I enjoyed it! It was a little too dirty for me at times, but I enjoyed them enough and was invested in their happily ever after. I loved Rix and the girls and all the characters who are going to delight me in the rest of the series!

Release Day Blitz & Review – Small Town Swoon, Melanie Harlow

March 4, 2024 | Posted in Release Day Blitz | By

 

Only in the movies does the Hollywood heartthrob fall for the small town diner waitress.

So when Dashiel Buckley returns to Cherry Tree Harbor for a wedding, I’m determined not to let my massive crush on my best friend’s older brother hijack my good sense.

(It happened once before. Do not recommend.)

But when my hand is injured, it’s Dash who steps in at the diner. The moment he realizes I can’t afford to fix my car, he takes care of it. And when he hears about the way my toxic ex treated me, he refuses to let it go.

Now it’s not just his blue eyes and sexy smile that have me swooning, it’s the way he wants to help me. Encourage me. Protect me.

I can’t resist.

Our text messages heat up. Our phone calls melt all my defenses. “Just friends” turns into “just once,” and “just once” becomes a distant memory. Night after night, he warms my bed, my body, and my heart.

But it can’t last.

Our dreams have us on two different paths–Dash wants the lights, camera, action of Hollywood, and I’ll always be a small town girl.

If only I could be his.

🍒 Friends with benefits

🍒 Best friend’s brother
🍒 He spoils her
🍒 Second chance romance
🍒 Protective hero
🍒 Secret crush
🍒 Small town girl x hollywood heartthrob

Sandra's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Small Town Swoon is the fourth book in the Cherry Tree Harbor series by the very talented, Melanie Harlow. You can read each book as standalone but I highly recommend reading the series. The Buckley men are swoon-y, sweet, protective, and full of surprises.

Dash needed to dig deep with his emotions to further his acting career and that first starts with going home. Then stripping down to his purest self (literally! Lol). He was headed home for his brother’s wedding so why not go early and be surrounded by the ones who know him best. What he didn’t expect was to want to spend so much time with the woman who hated him most. Or so he thought…

Ari has loved Dash since she was sixteen. After one humiliating night, she had tried to stay away from the famous actor. And now he was back and being all nice and $hit. He was showing over sides to him and she is here for it. Her walls are coming down but should they? After the wedding he was going back to LA and she was staying in Cherry Tree Harbor. Can they really go back to being friends after spending night after night in each other’s arms?

This might be my favorite of the series. I loved these two! The support they have for each other’s dreams is swoon-y in itself. Then add in their connection, it’s truly beautiful. I loved their journey!

Review Tour – The Surrogate, Penelope Ward

March 1, 2024 | Posted in Blog Tour | By

 

Title: The Surrogate
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Age Gap/Widower/Found Family
Forbidden/Enemies to Friends to Lovers
Release Date: February 26, 2024
BLURB

 

 

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE novel…

 

 

ABBY:

 

I’m falling for the father of the baby I’m carrying.
The problem is: it’s not my baby.
And the broody widower is not looking for a long-term partner.
As a surrogate, the deal was that I’d only be in England long enough to give birth.
At first, the man seemed as pretentious as his name: Sigmund Benedictus.
He and I butted heads.
Sig challenged my intentions, accused me of just wanting to do this for the money.
Gradually, he learned to trust me.
He even became protective.
Over time, our heated animosity turned into fiery chemistry.
I was falling in love with him.
But my time here had a limit.
I needed to protect my heart from the devastatingly gorgeous older man who’d end up breaking it.

 

SIG:

 

When my in-laws told me they wanted to use my dead wife’s eggs to conceive a grandchild, I wasn’t immediately on board.
They swore that on her deathbed Britney told them it was what she wanted—but only if I fathered the baby. Her parents insisted they would be the ones to raise it.
Against my better judgment, I agreed.
I vowed to keep my heart out of it, though.
I’d continue to pretend it wasn’t happening and live the empty, single life I’d become accustomed to the past five years since Britney died.
And despite the fact that a certain younger American named Abby Knickerbocker had awakened things inside me that I thought were long dead…
I most certainly wouldn’t fall in love with the surrogate.

The Surrogate is Penelope Ward’s newest epic romance. If you read The Aristocrat then you have met Sigmund, Leo’s cousin. If you follow my reviews then you might know that I don’t read blurbs unless it’s a new-to-me author until I need to write the review (don’t want those spoilers) so I actually didn’t even know it was going to be his story. Once I discovered that it was it, I was obsessed. And the obsession just grew and grew from there. The blurb is perfection so I don’t want to get too much into the storyline.

Abby and Sig’s relationship is complicated times ten but from the meet-cute, I knew it was going to be a crazy, beautiful, and emotional ride. And a fun one too!! I loved their journey, it’s so unique and I felt I was right there with them along the way. In London. In the countryside. Like I was a guest in the inn Abby was staying in. I was invested. They just made me laugh, cry, swoon, and just think, really. It’s one of my favorite books of 2024. One of my favorite books ever. I loved it so much, it’s hard to put into words. Just read it. Period. It’s an unforgettable story.

The Surrogate is Penelope Ward’s newest romance and one of my favorites from her! I didn’t have the pleasure of reading The Aristocrat, but I still loved Sig from the start. He’s complicated, but deep down is a loving, sweet man. He’s still heartbroken after losing his wife, and really not sure what he’s doing with his personal life. When his in-laws want to use a surrogate to have a grandbaby from their daughter’s frozen eggs who passed away a few years ago and they ask for Sig’s sperm, he’s not sure what to do. He agrees to meet the surrogate even though he doesn’t trust her. He’s instantly attracted to her and that is bad, bad, bad. They can’t stop fighting and exchanging barbs. He can’t fall for her. She can’t want him. But oh do they and they can! I loved watching Sig and Abby fight and then really get to know each other. It’s a complicated relationship and situation, but it’s fun, emotional, sexy and I loved every minute of it!

Release Day & Review – Dirty Flirt, Mira Lyn Kelly

March 1, 2024 | Posted in Blog Tour | By

Blurb:

𝘽𝙖𝙙 𝙄𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙮 𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧

 

I’m Ben Boerboom, the NHL’s favorite puck boy, and Lara’s my slamming hot, former bestie. She’s also the friend who got away and my dirty, dirty accomplice from those two insane weeks that weren’t supposed to change anything… but did.

 

I wanted it all. Would have wrapped my forever around her finger if she’d let me. But if making bad decisions is my special skill, Lara’s is making good ones… Like prioritizing her career goals and the kind of security she didn’t have growing up.

 

Hard pass on that kind of heartbreak again. So cue the bunnies. Years of bunnies.

 

Now Lara’s back in my city. Temporarily. And thanks to a burst pipe and a miscommunication with my sister, she’s living in my spare room.

 

A lot has changed, but two things haven’t. Her goals and the way she sometimes believes my bad ideas are good… like crossing those lines I swore we wouldn’t cross again.

*All titles in the Slayers Hockey series are loosely connected but can be read as standalones.

Sandra's Review 

5 out of 5 stars

Dirty Flirt is the tenth book in the Slayers Hockey series by Mira Lyn Kelly. Each book can be read as standalone but I recommend reading the series since they are all fun, sexy, sweet, and oh so swoony. Boomer has been there in the background making me laugh with his antics and now he is front and center and I am here for it. 

Boomer was shocked when his roommate/best friend was moving out with his sister literally the minute after the announcement. He was even more shocked that Piper already set him up with a new roommate. He was flabbergasted when he found out it was his former best friend from high school. The girl he hasn’t spoken to in eight years. She went to college. He went into the league. He didn’t know what he was getting himself in to letting this happen but he would never turn his back on Lara. She was the friend that got away. They shared a few dirty secret weeks together before they went their separate ways and now she was back. Temporary. 

Lara needed a home base quick. Her place in Chicago flooded and after calling everyone she knew in the city, Piper was the only one who had a room. What she didn’t know was that she would be rooming with her brother not her. She didn’t want this to be awkward. She has seen the headlines about Boomer’s bunny-loving ways. Was the Ben she knew still inside the man she doesn’t know now? 

Yes. And to Ben, she is the only one who sees it. The click is still there. Its slow going but once the comfort sets in so does the friendship but is there more? 

Mira killed it with this one. I love second-chances, friends-to-lovers, and close proximity and it has all three plus hockey? Gimme, gimme. I loved their banter, flirty ways, and just the way they made me laugh and swoon at the same time. I am excited about the next book!

Release Boost & Review – On the Edge, K. Bromberg

January 25, 2024 | Posted in Promo | By

 

 

On The Edge by K. Bromberg is now live! 

 

A spicy, only-one-bed, Formula 1 romance from New York Times bestselling author, K. Bromberg.

 

Surely this can’t be the only solution to overhaul my tarnished rep— faking a romance with the good girl intern?

 

But that’s what my agent says. Just a few months of taming my ways—of shedding Formula 1’s party boy image—will land me a lifetime branding deal. One I desperately need.

 

The key condition?

 

Pretend I’m madly in love with my new girlfriend. The quiet wallflower who I figured wouldn’t put me in my place. Yeah. This girl is anything but that.

 

Maddix Hart is defiant and intelligent. Loyal and real. Determined and sexy. And damn it to hell, before I know it, she’s in my head, in our bed . . . and if I’m not careful, she’ll see there’s more to me than the man I show the public. She’ll discover the man I hide from the world. The one who struggles to live up to the unrealistic expectations that should never have been mine.

 

All I have to do is make sure no one sees the truth behind our farce.

 

But instead, I let my heart get involved. I begin to believe the lie. And now with everything on the line—the deal, a championship, us—am I willing to risk it all to make her see what the rest of the world believes? That we belong together.

Sandra's Review

5 out of 5 stars

On the Edge is the second book in the Full Throttle series by K. Bromberg. You can read each book as standalone but I highly recommend reading the series in order since they are fun, sexy, and thrilling.

Cruz Navarro is under a lot of pressure to live up to the Navarro name. A billionaire dollar deal just might be a way to get his father off his back. Maybe. Probably not. The thing his father can’t take away is his playboy ways. He loves to party. He loves women. And he loves racing. That’s all he needs or so he thought…

He now needs a babysitter/fake girlfriend if he wants to sign on the dotted line. He has three months to prove to the board that he can make a commitment. To settle down the partying. To be someone to look up to to sell their brand. He isn’t happy about this outcome but if he has to pick one woman to tame him, he chooses her. Maddix Hart.

Maddix was just in the meeting to observe and now, she was assigned to follow a driver from race to race as his girlfriend. It was a conventional way to get a promotion but why not? She wanted to see the world and this was one way to do it. She knew it would change her life but she didn’t realize how much. She was now in a fishbowl. Paps everywhere. She also gets to know Cruz and unexpectedly, she falls…

But will he let her in? His walls are built wide and high around his heart.

I love Cruz and Maddix! I loved watching their growth. Their connection. The way they just want to protect and support each other. It’s a beautiful, fun, sexy ride. I don’t know which couple is next but I do have hope for… heehee.

 

Meet Kristy

Review Tour – Vi Keeland, What Happens at the Lake

January 18, 2024 | Posted in Blog Tour, Review | By

 

Title: What Happens at the Lake
Author: Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Trope: Grumpy-Sunshine
Release Date: January 15, 2024

 

BLURB

 

When life took an unexpected turn, I decided to get out of New York for a while. What better place to go than the idyllic small town my father spoke about so fondly when I was growing up? Laurel Lake held the title America’s Friendliest Town for seventeen years running, and friendly was just what I needed right now.

 

Unfortunately, friendly wasn’t the welcome I got when I arrived.
Instead, I got Fox Cassidy. My tall, dark, and burly neighbor, who grunted at me instead of saying hello.
Okay, so I might’ve had his mailbox in my hands the first time we met. And it might’ve been a little crushed after removing it from under my tire. And I might’ve needed his help breaking into the place I was staying in after the key broke off in the lock. But still…he didn’t have to be so grumpy.
As time went on though, I started to notice things about Fox other than his glares. Like how he watched me when he thought I wasn’t looking, or how fire ignited in his eyes whenever we bickered. Though I was in Laurel Lake to escape my problems, not create new ones. And getting involved with a man like Fox screamed trouble, even if he was gorgeous and unlike any man I’d ever met.
But alas, problem seemed to be my middle name this year. So why not have some fun while I was here for the summer? It seemed like a good plan. At least until it was time to go home…
They say what happens at the lake, stays at the lake. But it’s not so easy to walk away when what stays behind…is your heart.

What Happens at the Lake is Vi Keeland’s newest standalone. If you follow my reviews then you know I don’t read blurbs until I need to write the review so I don’t spoil anything so all I knew was that there was a lake involved. Lol. It’s a beautiful setting, really. I fell for Laurel Lake and the people living there.

Josie grew up in Manhattan but her father was raised in America’s Friendliest Town, Laurel Lake. She always wanted to visit the town her father was so fond of but her mother never wanted to go back. Now, was her chance after a tenant moved out of her father’s home, the one she inherited when she was only thirteen. She had three months to give the home a little TLC and get to know the town her father loved. When she got there, the unexpected happened… She met the grumpiest yet hottest man she has ever laid eyes on. Her neighbor. A man who spoke in grunts.

Fox didn’t need this woman living next door, even temporarily. She was a hot mess emphasis on hot. He knew she was trouble. Not just because he knew he would end up helping her with the house but because this town was about to make the phone lines spark with gossip. Small-town living, right? He loved and hated it at the same time. He knew he was an asshole but it is what it is. He didn’t like change…

And everything was about to change.

Damn…I love a grump, especially one with a good heart deep down. I also love a woman who doesn’t give up when trying to find that good heart. Vi absolutely killed it with these characters and their story. It’s fun. It’s sexy. It’s emotional. Oh, did I mention that Fox is an ex-pro hockey player? Extra yum!

P.S. I love Daisy Duck 🦆

Kara's Review

5 out of 5 stars

What Happens at the Lake is Vi Keeland’s newest romance and I loved everything about it. Grumpy hero, smart, capable heroine who are next door neighbors! Josie is looking for a place to heal so she goes to her dad’s hometown. She never thought she’d fall so fast for the town and its people. On her very first day, she hits her neighbors mailbox and he’s less than thrilled. But even though he’s the grumpiest grump alive, he keeps showing up to help her. Just little things and then more and more. Fox does not have time for his sexy new neighbor. But he can’t keep his eyes or his thoughts off her. He eventually gives in and helps her fix up her house. The more he gets to know her, the more he wants to know. And for the first time in a very long time, it’s more than just sexual attraction. He likes her. She makes him smile, and he never smiles. Everyone notices, especially Josie. He just can’t stop himself so he asks her out. Knowing the gossip mill is going to explode. He doesn’t care. He wants her and that’s it. When his past threatens to upend the new life he wants he needs to make a big decision. Let Josie go or chase after her. Oh my word! I loved this story. I laughed out loud so many times I lost count. I smiled, snickered and had to fan myself. I love Laurel Lake! Josie founds more than Fox there, she found her old self. She found a new family. Josie brought Fox back to life and reminded him what’s it feels like to be happy. Overall, I loved it. Every page, every character, everything. I even loved Daisy the duck! Ha!

New Release & Review – Boone, Sawyer Bennett

January 16, 2024 | Posted in New Release, Review | By


New Release from Sawyer Bennett
Boone (Pittsburgh Titans, Book #11)

Sawyer has FIVE signed paperbacks of Boone up for grabs on her website!
If you’d like your chance at a copy, visit: https://sawyerbennett.com/giveaways/boone/
(ends 1/23/2024)


Synopsis:

Boone Rivers uses his fame and fortune as a professional hockey player to his advantage, but not in the way most people would think. Volunteering as often as his busy schedule will allow, Boone meets one brave young boy who turns his world upside down.

As a first-line right winger for the Pittsburgh Titans, I thrive on the thrill of the game. I live for the smell of the ice, the cheer of the crowd and the way my heart pounds whenever I step into the arena. But once I’m out of my skates, my focus is on giving back to the city of Pittsburgh.

It’s funny how life puts people in your path. I meet Aiden while visiting the children’s hospital and I’m struck by the strength and resilience of this 12-year-old kid fighting for his life. As my visits continue, we bond over video games and hockey until one day Aiden’s older sister walks into his room and I realize there might be a bigger purpose here.

Lilly Hoffman has the weight of the world resting on her slight shoulders. Aiden’s illness isn’t getting better, she’s at risk of losing her job and their father is looking for the answers to his prayers at the bottom of a liquor bottle. I find myself wanting to lessen Lilly’s burden and what starts as a simple act of friendship turns into so much more. As we grow closer, I can’t help but fall for this fiercely protective and independent woman with a tender heart and bruised but not yet broken spirit.

As we face a future of never-ending uncertainty, I vow to be Lilly’s source of strength and comfort. Lilly and Aiden have reaffirmed to me the importance of giving and receiving love unconditionally, even in the darkest of times. And no matter what happens next, no one can take that from us.

Sandra's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Boone is the eleventh book in the fantastic Pittsburgh Titans series by Sawyer Bennett. Each book can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading the series since they are interlocked. They each have a unique story and meet-cutes! Boone and Lilly’s meet-cute is both beautiful and heartbreaking.

Boone uses his spare time off the ice visiting children at the hospital. He even brings teammates along since he knows the kids would love to talk with some of their favorite players. He loves to hang out with the kids even if they have to stay in their rooms. He knows all the kids names and has become close to Aiden, a twelve year old fighting for his life. He wasn’t able to visit him for a few weeks after a procedure and on the day he was back, Aiden’s sister comes into Boone’s life and it changes everything…

Lilly didn’t have enough time in a day, between running the family deli and visiting her brother in the hospital she was lucky to eat a meal let alone date. She loved that Aiden and Boone have a connection, it made it even harder for her to resist her feelings towards the man. Even more so when he seemed to want to help not only her brother but herself and their father. What was in it for him? Was he just a good guy or was do he just want the publicity?

I don’t want to spoil anything! I will say that I knew this story would be an emotional one but damn. My name is Sandra, and I am in love with a fictional character. Boone is swoon-worthy with a beautiful heart and a protective spirit. Lilly is a complete badass and stronger than she even knows. Together, along with Aiden is a story that will make you swoon, laugh, cry, and feel every emotion within the pages. I have loved all of the books in the series but this one is unforgettable.



Not sure if you’re ready to commit to Boone? Sawyer’s got you covered!
