Review Tour – The Backup Plan, Jill Shalvis
January 20, 2023 | Posted in Blog Tour | By Two Book Pushers
An unexpected inheritance might be the gift of a lifetime.
The Back Up Plan, an all-new second chance standalone romance in the heartwarming Sunrise Cove series from New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis is now available!
New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis returns to Sunrise Cove with a heartwarming tale of three people who are bought together when they’re bequeathed an old Wild West inn that has the potential to pull their lives apart, but instead turns into the gift of a lifetime.
When Alice receives a call about an unexpected windfall, she’s stunned to learn the gift is a falling-apart-at-the-seams old Wild West B&B she once considered home—and she’s inherited it along with two strangers. Except they weren’t always strangers. Once upon a time, they were friends. One is her ex-BFF Lauren. The other is Knox, the only guy to ever break her heart, all while never even knowing she existed.
It turns out their lives are unknowingly entangled because they once separately helped the same woman without expecting anything in return. Years later, Alice, Lauren, and Knox are broken in their own way, with their own history—and secrets— causing them to start out on the wrong foot with each other. But according to the will, they must renovate and be partners in the inn for one year or else lose their inheritance.
Stuck together, they make a list of rules to keep the peace—rules that end up doing the opposite, but by some miracle they find what they didn’t even know they were looking for—acceptance, true friendship, and in a case (or two!), true love.

Review Tour – The Game, Vi Keeland
January 20, 2023 | Posted in Blog Tour | By Two Book Pushers
The Game is Vi Keeland’s newest standalone. I loved Bella and Christian. They have a hilarious meet-cute and it just got better from there! Bella is left an NFL team from a father she never knew. Christian is the star quarterback who takes one look at her and knows he needs to spend more time with her. He shamelessly flirts and asks her out but she keeps saying no. He’s not going to give up until he gets a yes. He offers to help her get to know more about the team and the players and their working dinners turn into a friendship. He chases her but it’s the good chase. He doesn’t just want the end game, he wants the whole thing. Now he just has to convince her to take a chance on him. Bella doesn’t give in easily, but when she does, wowzas! Christian isn’t anything like she thought he would be. He’s sweet and nice and not a player. And he’s handsome and sexy! After spending time with him she just can’t say no anymore. Trusting someone is her biggest fear and she needs to trust in Christian to be kind to her heart. Christian and Bella are so fun together! I loved their banter and their chemistry is on fire! As always, Vi’s writing is fantastic and the story is compelling, emotional and fun. I loved that Christian was the one who was all in from the very beginning. It was refreshing to see the man want more!
Blog Tour & Review – The Blood We Crave, Monty Jay
December 15, 2022 | Posted in Blog Tour | By Two Book Pushers
THE BLOOD WE CRAVE
Monty Jay
Release Date: December 13
My secrets are infested with infatuation.
His cravings are dripping in blood.
Is it love?
Or is it something much darker…
An obsession.
Death found me as a young girl. Latching onto the core of my soul.
No one knows what that horrid night did to me. What kind of monster it flourished inside me. I’d become a ghost, hiding from the world so that people would never find out about the morbid desire I harbor.
Until he noticed me.
Thatcher Alexander Pierson: Cunning. Sharp. Beautiful.
A man bred from the seed of a serial killer. Stitched together with old money and Dolce & Gabbana clothing.
He is my strongest fixation. My sweetest, darkest addiction.
And I’m his phantom.
I have haunted him my entire life and now?
He sees me for exactly what I am.
A killer.
I sicken him. But he has always mesmerized me.
When a copycat murderer prowls among the trees of Ponderosa Springs, our loyalty is tested.
It had been foolish of us to believe our revenge would go unpunished. That the town wouldn’t retaliate after what we did.
With our lives hanging in the balance, Thatcher and I have no choice but to coexist.
In the twilight of musty cabins and haunted library towers, my somber secrets are exposed, and his cravings are revealed.
So the question is…What is love without obsession?
*The Blood We Crave will be book 1 of a duet!*

Blog Tour & Review – The Scramble, Kristen Proby
December 9, 2022 | Posted in Blog Tour, Review | By Two Book Pushers
Hating Christmas has always been easy.
Until she meets him.
The Scramble, an all-new holiday, meet-cute romance featuring a heroine scrooge and a hot hero who loves Christmas from New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby, is now available!
There are two things you need to know about me. 1: I’m never late. And 2: I hate Christmas. Yes, I’m a girl who hates the holidays.
My entire, enormous family is already enjoying their holiday vacation in Iceland, but thanks to my busy job and having to meet them there, I’m late. They could have chosen any holiday to fly across the world, but Christmas won, which sent me scrambling because the end of the year is my busiest time. It’s difficult to carve out moments to see the family at all.
So, now, I’m forty thousand feet in the air, trying to get to Iceland before Christmas morning, all while also attempting to get some work done. If only the hot guy next to me would leave me be.
Dylan says I should put the work away until after my holiday and relax a bit. And while his suggestion of spending some time together on the north Atlantic island seems preposterous, I can’t help but feel intrigued when he promises to show me how to enjoy the Yuletide season properly.
After all, I can’t possibly spend every minute with my family.
But how do I just shrug off my duty to my job and throw caution to the wind for a stranger…no matter how handsome he is? Because that’s something else about me: I never throw caution to the wind—even a beautiful, blustery Icelandic wind.
Then again, Mama always said, “Never say never…”

The Scramble is a Single in Seattle novella and part of the 1001 Dark Nights series. You can absolutely read it as a standalone but I have warn you… You will want to read the rest of the series. Maddie Montgomery needed to work but instead she was on a flight to Iceland to meet her family for Christmas. She had twenty-fours hours to spend with them and even then she thought about work. That was until a man in the pod next to her in first-class distracted her. He was flirty, hot AF, a total sweetheart and also a man who made her laugh. He wants more time with her, he only has to convince her stay for the week… Once that is done… It’s on! A vacation fling might just be what the doctor ordered for this workaholic but what will happen when it ends? Loved, loved, loved this story! It’s fast but packs a punch. It is such a fun and sexy read. It is also what family goals are all about. I loved catching up with all of them. Quotes: “It really is a fine ass,” I agree, turning everyone’s attention to me. “Don’t make us beat the shit out of you on Christmas, dude,” Drew says. “I’ll be doing the biting around here, sweetheart. As soon as we settle this.” “I could tell you everyone’s names, but you’ll never remember them all, and it usually takes spreadsheets and graphs.”

She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series.

Keep reading for a look inside Before I Let Go!
I knock and wait for Josiah’s deep baritone telling me to enter. He sits behind his desk, eyes trained on the laptop in front of him. He doesn’t look up, but keeps typing. The silence persists, stretches to awkwardness, so I drop into one of the armchairs in the center of the room along with a sofa and coffee table, and set my purse on the floor.
“Harvey’s on his way,” he says, still not looking away from the screen. “His last meeting ran a few minutes over, but he’ll be here soon.”
“Oh. Sure. Great.”
I run damp palms over my legs, the jeans smooth and cool beneath my hands. Fidgety and looking for something to do, I tighten my topknot. I got box braids last weekend because I was tired of messing with my hair. This morning they’re studded with a few gold cuffs scattered throughout the strands. All in all, I feel pretty. And confident, and I won’t be shook by the pissy mood Josiah seems to have saved just for me. Finally, he closes the laptop and walks over to the sitting area. I study my nails, taking my turn to ignore him.
“I like the braids.”
Surprised, I glance up to find him sitting on the arm of the leather sofa across from me. I didn’t expect him to say anything personal. Definitely not about my appearance. When I meet his eyes, they’re cool like they’ve been for weeks, and his face remains unreadable.
“Thanks.” I scour my mind for something else to say. Gone are the days when I couldn’t get the words out to him fast enough. We’d watch couples eating dinner in absolute silence and promise each other that would never be us.
“Um, did you see Deja’s report card?” I ask.
“Yeah.” He frowns. “I can’t believe she got a C in English.”
“It used to be her best subject. It’s not just the grade itself, but I worry she’s spending too much time on social media.”
“I think she’ll find the balance without us having to come down hard. Your relationship with her is already strained enough and—”
“Strained?” I ask, my voice dropping to a quiet warning.
“You’ve said that yourself, Yas.” He crosses his stupid muscular arms
across his stupid broad chest. “Let’s not fight over how we need to handle things with Day. Have you given any more thought to Kassim playing football?”
“You mean since I said never when you asked last time? No. Besides, he has soccer.”
“He really wants to play football too.”
“A kid can really want a lot of things that aren’t good for him, like literally ramming his brain into a brick wall over and over again and risking his life, his mind, for what? A game? With all that’s come out about CTE, I just don’t think it’s worth the risk. Lots of parents aren’t doing football anymore.”
“Don’t you think you’re being a little dramatic? I played football. Preach played. Theo’s playing.”
“I love Preach, but him letting Theo play doesn’t mean a damn thing to me. What he and Liz decide for their kids has no bearing on what we decide for ours. Kassim has barely mentioned football to me.”
“He hasn’t mentioned it,” he returns with obvious stretched patience, “because he loves you and he doesn’t want to displease you, but he asks me almost daily.”
“Of course, because you’re the cool parent.”
“Well, I’m not the one who says no to everything because I’m too scared or too uptight to allow my kids some freedom to make their own decisions.”
“How dare you!”
I surge to my feet, unable to stay seated one more second. I need to move, let this anger circulate, or it will clog in my veins. My steps eat up the space separating us, and before I know it, I’m right in front of him, standing in the vee of his powerful legs. The air sizzles with a lightning strike, sudden and hot and dangerous. Unpredictable. I should take shelter, but I don’t step back. His expression remains inscrutable, the stark beauty of his face unaffected, but his breathing deepens. In response, my breasts rise and fall with the struggle to draw breath as the air between us thickens. This close, his presence overwhelms me and my deprived senses devour him. The way his cologne mingles with his unique male scent. The hardness of his jaw at war with the sensual curve of his mouth. The heat his big body radiates, even at rest, surrounds me.
I lick suddenly dry lips, and he tracks the movement with narrowed eyes. I feel hunted by that look, like I stepped into a trap laid by my own body, devised by my own mind. Something I thought we’d buried long ago rises, encircles us, breathing new life into a connection I thought was dead. I’ve known for months that I’m still attracted to Josiah, but right now, with his eyes darkening and his jaw flexing and his hands curling into fists, I can’t help but wonder . . .
Is he still attracted to me too?

Blog Tour & Reviews – Princess and the Player, Ilsa Madden Mills
November 11, 2022 | Posted in Blog Tour, Review | By Two Book Pushers
Can this tormented prince accept love, or will he push his princess away forever?
Princess and the Player, an all-new neighbors-to-lovers romance featuring an NFL football player and a masquerade ball from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills, is now available!
A masquerade ball brings together an NFL player and a penniless princess in this smart and sexy romance from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills. Levelheaded Francesca Lane never thought she’d miss her own wedding. But when her fiancé betrays her, she puts on her wedding dress and ditches the altar for a masquerade ball—at an exclusive lifestyle club. There, she meets unknown-to-her NFL star Tuck Avery, dressed as a prince and hiding behind a mask—he’s there to celebrate his birthday. For one night, Francesca and Tuck indulge in a wickedly incognito affair. No names. No strings. And the masks don’t come off. Unfortunately, Francesca realizes quickly that her masked prince is the wealthy jock who lives in the penthouse of her apartment building. His hobbies include parties and supermodels—or so the tabloids say. Getting tangled up with a shallow jerk is the last thing Francesca needs right now, so she vows to keep Tuck from recognizing her (not that she’s his type anyway). But fate has a teeny-tiny trick up her sleeve…a plus sign on a pregnancy test. Can this tormented prince accept love, or will he push his princess away forever?

The Princess and the Player is the second book in the Strangers in Love series by the fabulous Ilsa Madden Mills. I knew when we met Tuck I was going to love him. His story is everything I wanted it to be and more! He’s funny, sexy, a pro baller, but he’s also hurting and has a past that’s constantly haunting him. When he meets a beautiful stranger at a masquerade party at a sex club, it seems like the perfect night. No names, no faces and just one night. But fate had other ideas. Turns out she lives in his building and doesn’t seem to want anything to do with him. Francesca never thought her one-night stand would turn out to be her rich and famous neighbor, but here we are. Now not only does she see him everywhere, she’s keeping a very big secret from him. She’s pregnant. What are the odds. The connection between Tuck and Francesca is too strong for either of them to ignore. For once Tuck wants to actually get to know a woman. There’s just something about her that calls to him. Calms him. Makes him want to be a better man. But what happens when he finds out about the baby? Will that be the end of them or the beginning of their story? Oh man! I loved Tuck and Francesca! Their romance isn’t all fun and games. They both have pasts and have a hard time accepting love. But they are destined to be together. I loved watching them fall and grow and finally give in. Overall, I laughed, cried, got hot and bothered and just loved it!

Love And History
By Lane Hayes
The Script Club, Book 6
Holden
Ezra might be the most annoying roommate ever. He’s loud, obnoxious, and full of himself. So what if he’s a tall, muscular, tattooed jock? His tendency to strip to his boxers in the kitchen while helping himself to my food isn’t endearing in the slightest. Nope. Ezra has to go.
However, I have to admit, he’s the perfect fit to play the king for my historic reenactment event. Ezra in a royal robe…oh, this could be quite tantalizing indeed.
He won’t do it, though.
Unless I trick him into a history lesson.
Ezra
Holden is the kind of dude who wears top hats and great coats while teaching astrophysics to brainiacs. Weird, right? But I gotta respect that level of commitment. And I respect him.
Sadly, Holden doesn’t feel the same way about me.
I guess I can’t blame him. Cranking his gears has been a highlight of my stint in geek land. I’ve never seen anyone get riled about yogurt like him. He makes me laugh. And think. And he makes me want things I’d never thought possible.
So yeah, I’ll take that history lesson. If it leads to something more, I’m in.
Love and History is a Bi-awakening geek/jock romance featuring a messy law student, a picky professor, and a lesson neither will forget!
Universal Link
Add to Goodreads
Love and History is the sixth and last book in The Script Club series by Lane Hayes. I never thought I would love these adorable geeks and the men they fall for as much as I do. Holden is the last of them to fall and no one is more surprised than he is when he starts to see his messy, obnoxious roommate as more than just the annoying guy who steals his food and walks around in his boxers. Ezra just loves getting under Holden’s skin. He isn’t making any announcements about his sexuality, but he’s definitely seeing Holden as more than his geeky roommate. He thinks he’s funny, brilliant and respects the hell out of him. He even loves his hats and robes. When Holden needs help from Ezra he jumps at the chance to spend more time with him. It’s a bet he’s going to win. Holden starts to see a new side of Ezra. The tidy, dressed kind and it makes him even more appealing. One thank you kiss leads to so much more. Ezra can’t stop thinking about Holden. He’s never wanted anyone the way he wants him. He’s learning things from Holden and loves how smart and quirky he is. They both just want to have fun, but what happens when feelings get in the way? Oh man! I love, love, love Ezra and Holden. Ezra was rather annoying in the past, but now that we get to see what’s going on in his head, I couldn’t love him more. Holden is totally geeky, but so smart and handsome. They are opposites, but when they get to know each other, they realize they complement each other very well. Ezra is fun, positive and knows who he is. Holden is cautious, guarded and is comfortable in his own skin. I think this is my favorite of the series! I would love to see Ezra, Holden and the other characters again somewhere! Overall, I laughed, teared up, smiled, laughed some more and had to fan myself!
Excerpt:
Holden mumbled a greeting to Cole, who’d shuffled bleary-eyed to the coffee machine, then leaned toward me. “What are you doing with your spoon?”
I held up the spoon in question and shrugged. “Nothing. Why?”
“You’re licking it,” he whispered, adding, “suggestively.”
I barked a strangled half laugh. “Spoon porn? Is that a thing?”
“Don’t ask me. I don’t know anything about porn.”
I arched my brow dubiously. “Really?”
“Really,” he assured me.
“Why not?”
“It’s not interesting to me.”
“Bullshit,” I coughed into my hand, snickering at his outraged expression. “Don’t tell me you’ve never imagined a ‘Robin Hood getting freaky in the forest’ scenario.”
“What does that even mean?”
“You know…hanky-panky in tights and those weird hats with feathers on ’em.” I dipped my spoon into my bowl of yogurt and licked it clean again. “I bet they got down to some kinky shenanigans in the Sherman Forest in Renaissance times.”
Holden pushed his glasses to the bridge of his nose, which I’d learned months ago signaled an oncoming lecture. I was right.
“That’s Sherwood Forest, not Sherman, and Robin Hood is a folktale set in medieval times, not the Renaissance.”
“Same difference.” I teased, rubbing my calf against his.
He narrowed his eyes. “I suspect this is tomfoolery, but I’ll explain the difference nonetheless.”
I set my hand on his knee and smiled. “Please do.”
He blushed, then went into more detail about the difference between the medieval and the Renaissance period than my brain could process at seven a.m. But I liked it.
I polished off my yogurt, listening with half an ear as I surreptitiously studied his details—his squared shoulders, his sharp gaze, and the proud tilt of his chin. Holden was all angles and edges with smiling eyes and unconscious charisma.
When I first moved in, I’d wondered if I could handle living with a guy who spouted random bits of historic or scientific intel like an audiobook version of a dull Wikipedia entry. Funny enough, I didn’t mind at all. I learned something new every day.
For example, a few months ago, he called me a “tallow-catch” when he tripped over the shoes I’d left on the landing. I didn’t have a comeback. I literally had no idea what the fuck that meant, so I consulted Merriam-Webster. Turns out a “tallow-catch” was a lump of animal fat that butchers used to make candles in olden days. Hey, I’d been called worse. I actually appreciated that he never resorted to basic insults and rarely swore.
Holden was a true gentleman. I wasn’t. And that might never change. However, I found myself wanting to try a little harder, and maybe use this newfound supersonic power to figure out what made him tick. ’Cause it occurred to me that his quest to soak up knowledge had a manic edge. As if he used his smarts to avoid…something.
Hell, I knew all about avoiding shit. And I knew that a couple of BJs didn’t give me the right to his secrets. But I wanted them anyway.
“…the invention of the printing press changed the world forever and—” Holden paused for air and gave a self-conscious shrug. “Sorry. I get a little carried away sometimes. I didn’t mean to bore you with a history lesson.”
“You’re not boring me. I think you’re fascinating,” I commented, unthinking.
He shook his head and snickered. “I don’t think you’re fascinated with my mind, Ezra.”
He was so wrong.

Blog Tour, Review & Excerpt – Dirty Crazy Bad, Siobhan Davis
October 4, 2022 | Posted in Blog Tour, Excerpt, Review | By Two Book Pushers
Dirty Crazy Bad Book 1, an all-new sexy and page-turning dark reverse harem romance and first book in the Dirty Crazy Bad Duet from USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Siobhan Davis is available now!
A new dark college reverse harem romance from the USA Today & WSJ bestselling author of The Sainthood Series.
In the secret society of The Luminaries, no sin will go unpunished…
Sleeping with my boyfriend’s best friend, behind his girlfriend’s back, probably wasn’t my smartest idea.
But Jase is mine, and it’s about time Julia knew it.
Attending Lowell University was supposed to be a fresh start. A chance to end all the sneaking around and make our relationship official.
I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Julia is digging her claws into Jase.
My boyfriend, Chad, is getting in deeper with a local gang.
And my loathsome new stepbrother, Ares, has just moved in.
Ares despises Chad and Jase, and the feeling is mutual. As their rivalry escalates, Ares seems determined to use me as a pawn, and I’m trapped in the middle. It doesn’t help that he’s hot AF, knows exactly how to push my buttons, and my body hasn’t gotten the memo he’s off-limits.
I wish that were the least of my worries.
Pride. Wrath. Lust. Envy. Greed. Gluttony. Sloth.
My life turns upside down the moment the dark secret society of The Luminaries is revealed to me.
Everything I thought I knew was a lie.
Now, I have lost all control over my future, and a heart-breaking new reality emerges.
One where lovers become enemies, enemies become allies, and corrupting sinners to sin is my only way to survive.

Holy. Fucking. Shit. This book!!! I love reverse harem. I love enemies-to-lovers. I crave dark romance. This book is all of that in beautifully twisted bow. I am obsessed! Siobhan’s writing is addictive and twisted and I am here for it. It always questions my sanity and I just have to own it. I have a twisted mind and I love bad boys and these boys all have different personalities and all hot in their beautiful and fucked up ways. I have fallen for all of them but I do have a favorite. I would usually get into the storyline without spoilers but I can’t even do that. I can say that it’s a wild, hot, emotional ride and it’s not for the faint at heart. Enjoy the ride!! I can’t wait for the next one. It’s one of my favorite books of the year! 🔥 P.S. My heart is still pounding. Quotes: “Most girls would freak if their man came home all bloody and sweaty, but you kiss me and tell me I’m your hero.” “I hate you,” she whispers. “You hate yourself more.” “Please let me take care of you,” he adds, lowering his tone.

Excerpt
Ashley “Babe.” She snaps her fingers in my face. “Where’d you go?” “The same place you did.” I lick my lips as I reposition her so she’s plastered to my front with her legs wrapped around my waist. “I want to christen the hall first,” she says, grinding her pussy against the growing bulge in my jeans. “I love the way your mind works, Siren.” I crash my lips against hers as I spin us around and walk over to the wall just inside the open doorway. Shoving her spine against the exposed brickwork, I pivot my hips and thrust against her, already leaking precum behind my boxers. “Chad,” she moans into my mouth. “Take me here, right now, with the door open.” My brows climb to my hairline as a grin tugs up the corners of my mouth. “Taking a page out of Jase’s book now?” “He doesn’t own the monopoly on exhibitionism or public fucking,” she says, sucking my lower lip into her mouth. “I need to ride your dick, and I want it now.”
