New Release & Review – The London Chance, Lane Hayes

July 25, 2023 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By

Two strangers, an online dating app, and a chance at forever…
Chance

After months of online correspondence with a sexy businessman, we’re finally meeting in person—in London, no less!

Okay. It’s a casual meet-up. Nothing to get excited about. I fully understand that online connections don’t always translate in person. Roman could be pompous or worse…boring.

Wish me luck!

Roman

Dinner with my online “friend” doesn’t go well. I shouldn’t be disappointed. That’s life.

But just as I’m ready to write our peculiar acquaintanceship off, Chance turns up unexpectedly at a karaoke bar. Don’t ask what I’m doing there. I have no idea. However, I don’t mind at all. It feels like the universe is giving us a cosmic redo. Sure, Chance lives in California and my home is in the UK now, but this feels like the real thing. Something worth taking a chance on.

A forever chance.

The London Chance is an MM, bisexual romance featuring an American, a Canadian, a dating app, and an unexpected HEA.

The London Chance first appeared in the H2H Charity Anthology, vol. 6. This version includes an additional original short story.

 

 

Kara's Review

5 out of 5 stars

The London Chance is Lane Hayes’ newest fun, strangers-to-lovers romance. A dating app that leads to a face-to-face meeting in London. Chance is there on business so what’s a few extra days to meet Roman, a guy he clicked with online. Only their first date is a big dud. Roman didn’t expect their date to be so boring. They were just too polite and dry. But when he sees Chance later that night, drunk and singing karaoke, it’s like the universe gave him a second chance at a first meeting. Now that they are actually being themselves, it is on! The only problem is, Chance lives in LA and Roman in London. Will they make it work for love? Oh man do I love this couple! This is a short novel, but it didn’t feel like it. It is fun and sexy and full of friendship and laughs! Loved the bonus story!

Release Blitz & Review – The Setup, Kristen Proby

July 18, 2023 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By

The Setup by Kristen Proby is now live! 

 

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes an all-new novel, The Setup, in her Single in Seattle series, featuring Keaton Williams!

 

I’m a sucker for pretty things. Give me a roaring engine in a souped-up vintage muscle car with cherry red paint and brand-new leather interior, and that’s about as pretty as anything I could ask for. I’m a simple man, who doesn’t need or want the kind of wild celebrity that my father has. I restore one-of-a-kind vehicles and sell them to the highest bidder. Usually, that bidder just also happens to be a celebrity.

 

But no matter how often my cars steal the spotlight, staying out of it is my number one priority.

 

Which is why Sydney Sterling is absolutely out of the question.

 

She’s a country music superstar. She’s in the spotlight. People can’t get enough of her.

 

It doesn’t matter that our one night together was hotter than a full throttle muscle car, or that she’s the most incredible woman I’ve ever met.

 

I. Need. To. Stay. Away.

 

And I was doing a great job of just that until our friends set us up on a blind date, and now here I am, sitting across from the only woman who made me want more. How am I going to handle the fact that the rest of the world wants her almost as much as I do?

 

And do I even have a choice in the matter?

Sandra's Review

5 out of 5 stars

The Setup is the fourth book in the Single in Seattle series by Kristen Proby. It’s a spin-off to the With Me in Seattle series. You don’t have to read that series to fall in love with their children’s stories. You will totally want to though… I read most of them and plan to read the rest. 
Keaton might be part of one of the biggest celebrity families but he doesn’t want to be in the spotlight. He did that once and will never do it again. Did the one night he shared with Sidney Sterling hot AF? Hell yes. But that was all it could be. A one-night stand after a wedding. They knew they would see each other again one day since she was going to be part of his family soon but he didn’t expect this…
Sidney needed a break after touring the country. So it was perfect timing when her soon-to-be SIL wanted help with her wedding in Seattle. Who she didn’t expect to see that first night was the man who made her tingle head to toe. She didn’t have a plan. No plan on when she was going home. No plan about what she was going to do in Seattle. On thing she did know… she still wanted him. 
It’s a whirlwind of a romance and I absolutely here for it! I laughed, I swooned, I got frustrated, I cried. It so much fun! It’s always good time to back to Seattle and visit with this group. Xoxox

Release Day & Review – Make Me Stay, Annabeth Albert

July 13, 2023 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By

 

Roommate Not Wanted

I’m a forty-year-old homeowner and former detective. My friends think a roommate is the solution to my recent funk, but I know that’s the last thing I need.

And even if they’re right, sharing my home with Cal is a bad idea. The prickly SEAL rescue diver has muscles for miles, haunted eyes, a wounded soul, and wandering feet that won’t be happy for long in Safe Harbor. Yet those fathoms-deep blue eyes have me making an offer I’ll surely regret.

Our arrangement may be doomed, but Cal is an amazing roommate. We’re soon cooking my mom’s favorite recipes, watching terrible TV, accidentally cuddling, and trying not to cross the line from friendship to fling.
Until I discover Cal’s sexy secret.

Boundaries blur, and I forget I’m not supposed to fall for Cal. Every kiss, touch, and discovery we make together pulls us deeper until there’s no denying our feelings.

I want nothing more than to keep Cal in town, in my bed, and in my heart, but Cal seems destined to swim back to his solo ways.

Can I bear to let him go, or will our love make him stay forever?

MAKE ME STAY is a hurt/comfort roommates-to-lovers MM romance. It features two mature, wounded heroes, disability rep, a proud pansexual, a SEAL having a demisexual awakening, and sexy discoveries involving rope. Deep feels, dual point-of-view, and big fluffy HEA guaranteed.

Kara's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Make Me Stay is the second book in the Safe Harbor series by Annabeth Albert. I love Annabeth and her books and I’m loving this series. We already know and love Holden and I couldn’t love his story more if I tried! He’s the class clown, the friend quick with a joke. He was also injured on the job and is in a wheelchair. He’s a professor with a popular podcast and an all-around nice freaking guy! Cal, and ex SEAL is called in to help with the case. He’s an expert diver and a grumpy, broody man. Holden and Cal don’t get off on the right foot, but after a small accident, Cal needs a place to stay and Holden has an extra room. They couldn’t be more opposite, but sometime between sharing a meal and a bad reality TV dating show, they get closer. One chance encounter with some rope (hottest scene I’ve read in a long time) and they strike a deal. Cal needs a certain something in the bedroom and Holden is the perfect man to help him with his desires. Cal never thought he like being told what to do so much. He just wants out of his own head. His past is haunting him and Holden makes him forget. Holden can’t believe his luck. The sexiest man he’s ever met wants him for him. Sees past the chair and the jokes and wants just the man. Cal’s just in town temporarily, but desperately wants a home and family but doesn’t know how to ask for it. Holden wants Cal to stay, but is afraid to ask in case he says no. Will they both admit how they feel before it’s too late? I freaking loved this story! It’s funny, sexy, and sweet. Full of real emotions, friendship, pain, sadness, hope and love. I’ve really connected to Monroe, Knox, Holden and Call and I can’t wait for Sam and Worth’s story!

Sandra's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Lunamare is the first book in the Luna Duet by the ever-talented, Pepper Winters. If you follow my reviews then you know I don’t read the blurb until after I finish the book. I love going in totally blind especially when it’s a story like this one. Epic. Poetic. Forbidden love. Twists and turns. And when Pepper states fans of The Ribbon Duet will love this story, she was right about this fan. I absolutely loved that duet and loving this one! I don’t want to spoil anything so I don’t want to get too much into the story. 
The moment Neri saved Aslan from the sea, she knew he belonged to her. She was only twelve but all of her instincts told her that he was her everything. At sixteen, Aslan was saved by a girl. One he vows to protect. Even from herself. Year after year, he protected her. From the sea. From herself. From him. Her love only got stronger and stronger as each year past. Year after year, his secrets were getting closer to the surface. One day changed his life, one night could ruin it…
This story is only the first part of their story, and I can’t wait for the rest! Thank god Pepper isn’t making us wait long. I am obsessed!! This story spans for a lifetime and I am here for it. The forbidden love. The age-gap. The darkness. The family. The secrets. It’s everything. 
*If you have triggers, you can read the warnings on Pepper’s website.

Release Day & Review – The Sweetheart List, Jill Shalvis

June 13, 2023 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By

 

What makes life sweet?
When Harper Shaw’s life falls apart, she knows it’s time for a change. She removes everything that doesn’t spark joy—from her soul-sucking job to eating kale to making lists—and sets off for the last place she was happy, Lake Tahoe (who wouldn’t feel good there, right?) to fulfill her dream of opening her own bakery. With her Sugar Pine Bakery in between a tavern, owned by sexy, grumpy Bodie Campbell, and a bookstore, run by her new BFF, she feels a peace she’s never experienced since…well, forever.. Then she meets Ivy, a teenage runaway, who barrels into her heart. She sees a lot of herself in Ivy and takes her under her wing, but the teenager has secrets… When those secrets explode, it changes Harper’s new world, and she’ll learn, it’s never too late to start over, it’s never too late to figure out your life, and best of all, it’s never too late to let yourself believe in love.

 

 

Kara's Review

5 out of 5 stars

The Sweetheart List is the fourth book in the Sunrise Cover series by Jill Shalvis. This is a story about taking chances, finding a place that makes you happy and making your own family. Harper leaves everything she’s known behind to move to Sunrise Cove to start a new life. No lists, just a bakery that’s always been her dream. And in the last place she was truly happy. Bodie is back home after being hurt in the line of duty. He took over his dad’s bar and is struggling with the end of his career and what to do now. Ivy is sixteen and looking for something she’s wanted her entire life. Her childhood hasn’t been great, so she’s not sure what she’s expecting, but it’s not Harper taking her in, giving her a job and safe place to live. Harper and Bodie find a connection they’ve never known before, but she’s afraid and wants to take it slow. Ivy never knew people and families could be this nice and sweet and fun. Together, Harper, Bodie and Ivy find what they were looking for in each other. I couldn’t love this story more! It has all the things I love about a romance. A sexy hero, an independent heroine, a big, fluffy dog, family, humor and a happily ever after!

http://blkly.pub/AmazonDoublePucked

 

Sandra's Review

Double Pucked is the first book in the My Hockey Romance series by Lauren Blakely. It is a roomies-to-lovers hockey rom com and it’s MFM!! Holy hotness, right? Damn, right.
It all started with a pair of panties. That pair of panties led Trina to leaving her no-good hockey-loving cheating boyfriend so the next logical step was to swipe the VIP tickets to meet his favorite players. Trina never wanted to watch a sporting event but she knew the revenge would be sweet. What she didn’t expect was to get the full VIP experience with both men. Then move in with them the next day…
One week. Ok, nine days. They had nine days and nights to explore each other. In and out of the bedroom. She never expected this. It wasn’t exactly on her bingo card. Days filled with fun and laughter, discovering who each other really are. Nights filled with hot, toe-curling, mind-blowing sex. Checking off to-do list with not one but two sexy, sweet, and alpha men. They treat her like a queen in all the best ways. Too bad it all has to end.
The VIP experience started out as sweet, sweet revenge. It’s end with the best thing to ever happen to them. It’s unexpected. It’s life-charging. It’s complicated. It’s everything.
I ♥️ this story!! It has the perfect blend of heat and emotions. Laughter and tears. It’s so a fun book! I loved the way Trina, Chase, and Ryker are there for each other. They just click even when they don’t agree. Chase and Ryker are friendship goals. I can’t wait for the next book!!

 

Double Pucked is Lauren Blakely’s newest romance. Not only is it new, it’s the first in a NEW HOCKEY SERIES! I have read every word Lauren has written and I am here to tell you it’s the hottest book yet! It’s deliciously dirty and oh so flirty. I mean, what’s better than two hockey stars who are also best friends meeting and falling for the same woman? Nothing, I tell you! Trina’s ex is toast and on her way out the door she grabs the VIP hockey tickets he won. She’s taking those tickets, meeting his idols and going to that game. She didn’t expect Ryker and Chase to be so nice, and broody and handsome and sexy. Whoa. She’s also didn’t expect to go home with them. Both! Wowzas. Now she needs a temporary place to live and is invited to stay with not only Chase, but him and Ryker. Things heat up in the bedroom, but they also have fun together making breakfast, walking her fabulous dog, Nacho, and just being with each other. But all good things come to an end right? What if they could make this thing between them work. Ryker and Chase already trust each other and they are best friends. Trina brings out the best in them and makes them want to be better. I absolutely adored this story! It has all the things I love about romance. Fun, sexiness, friendship, hockey, witty banter, laughs and love. I can’t wait to see who’s next and I’m really excited to see Ryker, Chase and Trina again!

 

 

BLURB:

 

A jilted book nerd, a plan for sweet revenge, and the two hockey stars who volunteer as her tributes…


When I discover my boyfriend is cheating on me, I move out right away taking what I love most – my dog. As I fly out the door, I make sure to swipe the thing my ex loves best. The VIP tickets he won to a hockey game, complete with the chance to spend an evening with the city’s two biggest NHL stars.

I can’t wait to snap selfies with my ex’s idols and rub it in his face.

Except, when I head out with the two hockey studs, they have something else in mind besides sweet revenge. Would I like to spend the night…with both of them?

Talk about the VIP experience. That’s what I get for one knee-weakening, sheet-grabbing night. In the morning, I plan to return to my bestie’s house to crash on her couch with my dog.

But when they learn what happened with my awful ex, they ask me to be their temporary roomie for the week. Oh, and one of them needs my help with his grumpy reputation. The other? Well, he wants me to be his fake date at an upcoming wedding.

Looks like I’m about to get double pucked. Again.

 

Double Pucked is a roomies to lovers, fake dating, image makeover, super spicy hockey rom com with a guaranteed why-choose style HEA! No swords cross. The two guys are all about HER all throughout! This story is perfect for fans of Lily Gold and Emily Rath!

A swoony, heart-wrenching small-town romance from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller Sarina Bowen!

Leila:
What I meant to do: quietly divorce my lout of a husband and then have a child all on my own.

What happens instead: my crush comes back to town when I’m at my most vulnerable. After too many cocktails, I ask him to be my baby’s father.

In my defense, it’s been a rough couple of months. Seeing Matteo Rossi again after fourteen years has done a number on my emotions. And my libido.

In the morning, I’m hoping he’s forgotten the whole thing. But no such luck. In fact, Matteo has a few clarifying questions. And a few naughty ideas, too…

Matteo:
What I meant to do: visit Vermont for my brother’s wedding. Make amends to my family, and mourn the loss of a friend.

What happens instead: a hot affair with the one who got away. But it can’t last. My life is two thousand miles away, and Leila deserves everything. She’s as good as gold.

Kara's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Good as Gold is Sarina Bowen’s newest romance set in Vermont! It’s a second chance story of sorts. Ya’ll this is Matteo Rossi’s story! We have loved his siblings, and now we get to know why he left home and why he stayed away so long. Matteo and Leila were friends in high school. There was always an attraction there, but they never acted on it. Now Matteo is home for the summer to see his family and runs into Leila. After Leila gives him hell for staying away so long, they spend some time together. A drunk Leila asks Matteo to be her baby’s father. Matteo can’t stop thinking about what Leila offered. He’s willing to help her out though, I mean, what’s some sexy times between friends. Seems like a win-win. But his feelings become too much to handle when he has to go back to Colorado and his business. Leila didn’t admit how she really felt when Matteo left, but it doesn’t matter. She can have this baby alone. Will Matteo realize he can’t let the only woman he’s ever loved get away again before it’s too late? Oh man! I freaking love Matteo. Wow. From the long hair and the soulful brown eyes to the sweet words and kind gestures. He won my heart from the very beginning. I feel for Leila, she’s been through a lot and never expected to see him again. It’s sweet, swoony, spicey and fun. I loved seeing the Rossis and their loves again! I’m hoping we get Nash’s story soon!

Audio: Jason and Lessa were perfection. I love the emotion they convey with their sweet and sexy voices.

About the Book
He had a way of pulling everyone into his darkness. Then, to make matters worse, he convinced
you that you liked it there.
Kyle Davis—ex professional baseball player and current felon—loved Sara, his best friend.
Strictly platonically, of course. He’d do absolutely anything for her, even put up with Greer,
Sara’s other best friend.
What she was not was Kyle’s best friend. Or any friend at all, to be honest.
In fact, they couldn’t stand to be in the same room with each other, let alone breathe the same air
for any length of time.
Then something happens, forcing the two of them to work together to keep Sara blissfully
unaware of the danger Greer’s in.
They come up with a plan. Sara doesn’t need to know.
What she doesn’t know won’t hurt her.
The funny thing is, Sara knows all. Sara also knows the two of them are destined to be with each
other.
She only has to convince them of it first.

 

Kara's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Special Kind of Twisted is the sixth book in the Gator Bait MC series by Lani Lynn Vale. We finally get KD’s story! Woohoo! It’s a fun, sexy, hilarious enemies-to-lovers story. Kyle Davis or KD or Davis as Greer calls him, was a professional baseball player who did something to protect his sister and landed him in jail. He’s been out for a while and now runs a bodyguard company. Greer is his best friend, Sara’s other best friend. They have hated each other for years. Always arguing, pranking, and just being jerky. But you know what they say about love and hate. They are on a very fine line. It’s like all of a sudden, they notice each other. Only to realize it wasn’t sudden at all. When Greer needs a safe place to stay, Davis takes her in. One night in the same bed changes their relationship. They can have some fun and then it will be over. Except it’s too fun and too right. And then they want to really try. They just have to navigate all the other relationships in their life, the danger and see if they can stop hating each other long enough to fall in love. I really enjoyed this story! It’s one of my favorites of the series!

Kellen

 

I love my job. Bartending is more than just serving drinks to customers at the hottest bar and restaurant in Stewart Grove. It’s the people I work with and those I meet along the way. I know how to have a good time. Just one flirty little grin and the ladies are like putty in my hands. But they know the score: I’m a one and done guy, not looking to ever fall into the trap of love.
Then, a sweet, gorgeous coworker needs help, and I find myself offering up more than I should.
With Cameron Wright temporarily living with me, pretending to be my girlfriend, the lines begin to blur fast. She’s in my space and I suddenly have free rein to hold and kiss her.
Helping her might very well be my downfall.

 

Cameron

 

I keep to myself. Despite working as a server at the popular gourmet burger joint, I make sure my eyes are always ahead, focused on the prize: make enough tips to pay off my debts. When you carry around this much guilt every day, the weight slowly starts to drag you down, but I’m determined. My past will not define me.
Until one day, that past returns and is ready to rekindle our old relationship.
Cocky playboy Kellen McGregor steps up, not only offering a place to stay, but also a way to put space between me and my ex. Problem is, in no time, I find I like being with him.
I just need to remember he’s not the forever kind of guy.

Too Young to Fall in Love is the the seventh book in the Burgers and Brew Crüe series by Lacey Black. Each book can be read as standalone but I highly recommend reading the series. I have loved each and every one and always looking forward to the next book. If you have read the series then you have met Kellen and Cameron, always in the background but now it’s time for them to be under the spotlight.
Cameron has worked at Burgers and Brew for over a year but doesn’t know Kellen, the flirty bartender all that well. She knows his wink and smirk can melt panties off just about any woman, and he has a great ass. He also cares about the crüe. She has on the receiving end of his flirt game but she knows it’s all in fun. He doesn’t mess around with coworkers and is not a relationship kinda guy. She wasn’t in the right headspace to even think about a relationship anyway but after her past shows up, she is in a fake one with Kellen and living with him…
It’s unexpected and I am here for it! Kellen is seriously sweet, sexy, protective, and so much fun. He is exactly what Cameron needs but is Cameron what Kellen wants? He never wanted a relationship, he was never looking for love but over the weeks with Cam has been eye-opening, confusing, and made his heart ache in the best and worst ways. What will happen when they fake break-up?
I love these two something fierce! You guys will too and I can’t wait for the next book. It’s going to be an emotional one for sure!
Quotes:
“I love a woman who can work over…puzzles.”
Kellen McGregor’s mouth is dirty, and the anticipation to see what other mad skills it possesses is driving me mad.
She’s simply become my addiction.
My drug.
One I don’t want to think about giving up.

Release Blitz & Review – Chapel Bend, Kristen Proby

May 16, 2023 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By

Chapel Bend by Kristen Proby is now live!

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes Chapel Bend, an enemies to lovers, small town romance in her beloved series, Huckleberry Bay!

There’s a fine line between love and hate. In Huckleberry Bay, Oregon, everyone knows that when it comes to Juniper “June” Snow – what you see is what you get. When you hire her construction company to do a job, it’s done right, on time, and on budget. When she’s your friend, she’s a ride-or-die who will support you no matter what. And when you’re her enemy…well, she can hold a grudge. And she’s never forgotten how the tall, dark, and delicious Apollo Winchester hurt her so many years ago. In a small town, it’s impossible to ignore someone who greets you with a death glare every time you meet. Apollo can’t recall why June hates him, but it doesn’t stop him from stirring her up every chance he gets. There’s something about her stubborn, “don’t mess with me” attitude that keeps him coming back for more. But June is his sister’s best friend and permanently on the “off-limits” list. June puts aside her war with Apollo and hires him to work on her most important project, the renovation of a chapel into her dream home. She wants the best…and Apollo is the best . . . on the job site and in her bed. He won’t turn down the chance to spend more time with June, especially when it’s clear that she wants him as much as she hates him. Proximity leads to opportunity, and opportunity leads to steamy times between the sheets. But a mystery threatens June and Apollo will protect her and their growing connection, no matter the cost.

Sandra's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Chapel Bend is the third book in the fantastic Huckleberry Bay series by Kristen Proby. Each book can be read as standalone but I highly recommend reading the series. It’s a better way of getting to know the group of friends and their personalities. I have been excited about this couple since the beginning! 
June hates Apollo. Apollo doesn’t know why his sister’s best fiend hates him so much but what he does know is that her attitude turns him on. The banter is their foreplay, she just needs to accept it. And let me tell you, when she does…it’s explosive. 
It’s not the first time she let her guard down around the handsome man the town knows she hates. But, one night changes everything. A one-night truce was all it was supposed to be but Apollo has other plans…
I don’t want to spoil anything so I will just say again…explosive. In and out of the bedroom. The banter. The connection. It’s all so much fun. It’s not just the sex though, they really do have a beautiful connection. 
I can’t wait for the next book! If it’s the couple I am pretty sure it is…omfg! I am already laughing. 
Quotes: 
“If you tell me that I clean up nicely, I’ll punch you in the stomach.” 
That makes him smile. “You look pretty tonight, but you were no less pretty this afternoon.”
“We can’t date each other,” I say again, “because we’d end up killing each other, Apollo. I don’t want to die young.” 
His lips twitch into that sexy-as-hell smirk that he always flings my way. “But what a way to go, Juniper.”
“You make me crazy in the best ways. You challenge me, and you make me laugh. You’re so fucking smart that it’s a little intimidating.”
