Title: Enlightened End

Series: Lotus House #7

Author: Audrey Carlan

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: June 26, 2018

Blurb

My world ended the day I received an eviction notice for Lotus House Yoga. Teaching yoga is all I’ve ever known. I’ve been doing tree pose since the age of two. The studio is my home, my legacy. My mother and her best friend left Lotus House to me so that I could carry on spreading goodness and light to everyone who enters our door. Now I’m faced with the very real possibility that it will all go up in smoke…unless I can convince Grant Winters—the most ridiculously handsome and arrogant businessman I’ve ever met—to save not only my business but all those around it.

When I stormed into Grant’s office to beg and plead for a second chance at preserving what my family spent decades building, I had no idea how it would change my life.

A deal was made.

He’d visit the businesses he was planning to destroy and attend classes at Lotus House while I worked to change his mind. In exchange, I had to enter his business-first world of luxury, fast-talking men, and surgically enhanced women.
Turns out, I didn’t fit in... Then again, neither did he.

In the end, we were both enlightened.

RELEASE BLITZ: Disgrace by Brittainy C. Cherry

Disgrace, an all-new romantic and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is LIVE! 

Each day I prayed for my husband to love me again.

After fifteen years together, he walked away from me, and into the arms of another.

I didn’t know how to cope. I didn’t know my worth. I didn’t know how to exist without him by my side.

All I wanted was for him to come back to me.

Then, Jackson Emery appeared.

He was supposed to be a distraction for my mind. A summer fling. A confidence boost to my bruised heart.

We were perfect for one another, because we both knew we wouldn’t last. Jackson didn’t believe in commitment, and I no longer believed in love. He was too closed-off for me, and I was too damaged for him.

Everything was fine, until one night my heart skipped a beat.

I didn’t expect him to make me laugh. To make me think. To make my sadness somewhat disappear.

When our time was up, my heart didn’t know how to walk away.

Each day I prayed for my husband to love me again, yet slowly my prayers began to shift toward the man who wasn’t right for me.

I prayed for one more smile, one more kiss, one more laugh, one more touch…

I prayed for him to be mine.

Even though I knew his heart wasn’t destined to love.

My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. 

First, I just want to say that I am really sad that this series is ending. When I picked up the first book I was new to Audrey's writing and by the end of it I was like "Yeah, I am going to need a lot more books in this series." And Audrey delivered! I know that this is a series I will go back to time and time again. 

Now to the story. I loved it! Each book has it's own unique couple and I loved the dynamic between Luna and Grant. Luna, was the owner of Lotus house was a very spiritual, in touch with her feelings yogi, while Grant was a very uptight, extremely cranky businessman. Hilarity ensues. Okay, not hilarity, but they did have lots of fun. ;-)

When Luna realizes that her business is going to be destroyed, she goes right to the source of the problem. That leads her right into Grant's office where the two strike up a deal. Luna will do her best to convince him to not destroy her business and he gets to take her on dates. I mean, what could go wrong? But actually, not that much goes wrong and that's one of the many reasons I liked this book so much. There was drams, but not the type of relationship drama I was expecting.  

I loved Luna and Grant together. She was just so good for him. He actually found himself not only enjoying the classes he took at Lotus House, but also enjoying Luna. Her upbeat, positive attitude, may have not been completely infectious with him at first, but it definitely made him look at things differently. And little by little Luna was able to transform him into a new person. A nice person. A person that people actually found himself wanting friends (trust me, when you read this book it will all makes sense). A person capable of love. Watching his transformation was amazing and by the end I just loved the both of them to pieces!

As I mentioned above, I am sad to see this series go. But Audrey gives us an amazing epilogue that involves everyone in the series. I even got a little weepy while reading it. So thank you Audrey, for sharing this world with us.

Title: COUNTERFEIT BOYFRIEND

Author: Cindi Madsen

Genre: Contemporary Romance

My twin brother’s talked me into a lot of crazy things, but taking his place on a road trip with his girlfriend so he can party with his friends is a whole new level of insanity. What’s even more insane is I somehow find myself agreeing to it—thanks, alcohol, guilt, and bribery. I’m determined to undo the arrangement, but then I meet Gwen, this sexy redheaded hurricane of energy and brains. 

And then she kisses me. Just like that, I’m driving her up the coast, on our way to a wedding with a mess of complications. With each hour and each stop, I’m falling harder and harder for a woman who doesn’t know my actual name. 

I’m trying to do the right thing. Or the lesser of the wrong things. All my life I’ve had to clean up my brother’s messes, but for the first time ever, I’ve landed the upper hand in one of our switcheroo schemes. Now I’ve just got to come clean and convince Gwen that I’m the brother she should be with.

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:
I peeled back the covers and sheet and helped her into bed. Her red hair splayed out on the pillow, a stark contrast to the white. Man, she was pretty. Considering she’d told the hotel clerk that she was taking advantage of me, she was also slightly delusional.

“Evan?”

It stung every time she used my brother’s name. But again, no one to blame but myself. “Yeah?”

“Come cuddle with me. My eyes don’t need to be open for that, and it’ll help me fall asleep. Right now I’m in that weird in-between phase.” Her words came out slurred and sluggish. “Like I can’t fully relax even as the medication is trying to pull me under, so I’m just in limbo. I hate limbo.”

The oxygen drained from my lungs. I didn’t know if I could be as strong as I needed to be if I crawled into that bed.

Her arm swung out, sweeping the air until she made contact with my wrist. I could’ve easily resisted the tug, but I didn’t want to.

“Just a sec,” I said.

“Did you say sex?”

I bit back a groan—she wasn’t going to make this easy. I kicked off my shoes, considered taking off my jeans and then decided that’d only ensure my failure to behave, and climbed in next to her.

Rustling came from her side, and the next thing I knew, she’d thrown her bra and shorts out of the bed, leaving her in only her shirt and… I resisted looking, even though it was all I could think about.

I wasn’t Superman; I was a fucking saint.

My sainthood was tested when she snuggled up to me, resting her head on my shoulder and hooking her leg over both of mine. Having her next to me was the sweetest kind of torture. Her warm breath hit my neck a mere moment before her soft lips.

She was definitely initiating, and I was definitely turned on. But I was also definitely shutting it down. Since I didn’t want to hurt her feelings, especially after that ridiculous comment about being disappointed, I gently shifted, pulling her back against my front. I couldn’t do much about the hard-on. Her ass was right there. A choked noise escaped my mouth as she wiggled against me.

Taking shallow, tempered sips of air, I dragged my fingertips over her arm and back up. Over her shoulder and down her spine.

Her breathing slowed; mine quickened.

Her body relaxed; mine tensed.

She let go and let sleep take her; I clung on to consciousness, soaking in the way she felt in my arms.

Hadn’t I already accepted the fact that I was going to hell for this? Paving my way with every stolen look, kiss, and touch?

I settled my hand on her hip and kissed the back of her head.

If so, let me burn.

Cindi Madsen is a USA Today bestselling author of contemporary romance and young adult novels. She sits at her computer every chance she gets, plotting, revising, and falling in love with her characters. Sometimes it makes her a crazy person. Without it, she’d be even crazier. She has way too many shoes, but can always find a reason to buy a pretty new pair, especially if they’re sparkly, colorful, or super tall. She loves music and dancing and wishes summer lasted all year long. She lives in Colorado (where summer is most definitely NOT all year long) with her husband, three children, and one overly-dramatic tomcat.

My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.

Kelsey has been crushing on her boss for a long time, but he sees her as his employee. But Kelsey thinks that it is time to change that. The problem is she can't flirt to save her life. She enlists help from Chase, her friend and resident manwhore. Kelsey is positive that Chase can give her the tips she needs to finally get her boss to date her. What she gets is that and a whole lot more.

Eek! I love these two so freaking much!! Kelsey and Chase were so good together. I'm such a fan of friends to lover stories and there was something about these two that just clicked for me. They got along so well and their move into the fling category was so easy for them. And they had amazing chemistry which made the sexy times really hot!

And Chase. Chase! He's ridiculously charming and knows it. I loved that he was hesitant to help Kelsey and not because he thought she didn't need help, she definitely did, but because he thought the she was perfect the way she was. He didn't think that she should have to "turn it on" to get the guy. And he went to bat for Kelsey when her ridiculous mother made me want to reach into the book and punch her in the throat. I. LOVED. HIM. 

This is a great addition to the series. It's a fun read that you will not want to end. I need more Kelsey and Chase! I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Save the Date by Carrie Aarons

Title: Save the Date

Author: Carrie Aarons

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Release Date: June 24, 2018

Blurb

You know that pact you make with your childhood best friend of the opposite sex? The one where, if you’re both still single, lonely and hopeless at thirty, you’ll marry each other?

This is the story about what happens when you hit the big three-oh and have to make good on that pinky promise.

Personally, I think love, romance and all of that nonsense is a crock of, well, you know. And Reese Collins, the boy who used to put worms in my hair at backyard barbecues, knows that better than anyone.

But when he moves to the same city I’ve happily, and singly, inhabited for years, memories of oaths past resurface. Reese is like a dog with a bone; a really hot dog and that bone just happens to be me.

He won’t stop hounding me, and the crazy thing is, my frigid, traitorous heart is starting to cave. For my best friend.

It seems so far off, when you’re a kid playing Monopoly in your treehouse. But when that clock strikes midnight on your thirtieth birthday, and you’re standing alone in front of a grocery store-bought cupcake, a childhood deal to walk down the aisle doesn’t seem so silly anymore.

My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. 

It is books like this that make me sad that I didn't have anyone to make a marriage pact with when I was younger. I mean I'm pushing 40 and not even close to getting married so a marriage pact would be very helpful!  ;-) 

Erin and Reese have been friends for years and as they get close to their 30th birthdays, the pact they made is on both of their minds. Reese is moving back home to take his dream job (he's a freaking NICU nurse y'all...I mean holy swoon!) and wants to make good on the deal they made all those years ago. Erin thinks he is crazy because their friendship is way too important to her, but she also can't help wonder if it would work out between them. And well...you can figure it out from here. 

I am such a fan of friends to lovers romances and this is a great one. It is a quick, satisfying one that I read while on a bus trip. It had some really funny moments, (the moms...HILARIOUS), some sweet moments (Reese y'all...LOVE him) and even some sexy moments that completely sold me on Erin and Reese as couple. I admit that in the beginning I had my doubts, but the author was able to change my mind. 

It is books like this that make me sad that I didn't have anyone to make a marriage pact with when I was younger. I mean I'm pushing 40 and not even close to getting married so a marriage pact would be very helpful!  ;-) 

Author Bio

Author of romance novels such as Red Card and Privileged, Carrie Aarons writes sexy, swoony and sarcastic characters who won't get out of her head until she puts them down on a page.

Carrie has wanted to be an author since the first time she opened a book, and still can’t fathom that she gets to live her dream each and every day.

When she isn't in a writing coma, Carrie spends time Netflix-binging with her husband, snuggling her infant daughter, and chasing her black Lab through the dog parks of New Jersey.
