BLOG TOUR: Four Day Fling by Emma Hart


Four Day Fling, an all-new hilarious and romantic standalone from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Emma Hart is available NOW!


Imagine this.

You’re ready to leave after a one-night stand, and you’re figuring out how to—shock horror—leave your number and ask him to be your fake boyfriend for your sister’s wedding this weekend.

When he wakes up.

Well, that happened to me. And over coffee and omelets, I found myself a date.

Which was how I ended up arriving at the wedding with a guy I knew nothing about.

I didn’t know his last name, or how we met, or how long we’d been dating. I didn’t know where he grew up, what he’d majored in in college, or how many siblings he had.

I sure as hell didn’t know he was Adam Winters, hotshot hockey player, and not only my father’s favorite player, but my little nephew’s freakin’ idol.

Which means I’m in trouble. Big, big trouble.

My mother is suspicious, my sister is bridezilla on crack, and my grandpa will tell anyone who’ll listen about his time in Amsterdam’s Red Light District.

Four days.

I have to keep this up for four days, and then Adam and I can return to our regular lives, where we don’t have sex whenever we’re alone, and my family aren’t interrogating him over his intentions with me.

At least, that’s the plan.

And we all know what happens to those.

EXCERPT

“Ready?” Adam strolled out of the bedroom, playing with the button on his shorts.

“For lunch with my mother?” I turned and stared at him, expressionless. “I’m thrilled.”

He laughed and adjusted the short sleeve of his white shirt. “It’s what—an hour? Then she’ll be back snapping at your sister’s ankles. Surely you can give Rosie a break for sixty whole minutes.”

“Oh no. I’ve done that guilt trip my entire life. I’m not getting it from my fake boyfriend, too.” I waggled my finger at him before turning back to the mirror to finish my make-up. “And yes, I can give her a break, but it doesn’t mean I need to be happy about it.”

“Do you ever get along?”

“Yes. When I’m in Orlando and she’s in Key West.”

“I mean when you’re together.”

“In the same room together, or having a conversation together?”

“Now you’re just being awkward, Red.”

I brushed a final stroke of mascara over each of my eyes, then stopped, wand in hand, and met his eyes in the reflection of the mirror. “Given how you ended up here, I would have thought you knew that awkward was my default mode.”

“That was cute-awkward. This is attitude-awkward.”

“How do you know there’s a difference?”

He pointed at himself. “Four sisters. I grew up with attitude-awkward. I could recognize it blindfolded with hands cuffed behind my back from two hundred miles away.”

“Wow. Someone’s cocky.”

“I thought we established that the night we met.”

My cheeks flushed. Damn it. Why did I have to blush like an idiot? Oh, that’s right. I was a redhead and so pale I was a distant relative of Casper the Friendly Ghost, which meant you could see my blushing a mile off.

“You’re adorable when you blush.” Adam grinned.

“Thank God,” I drawled. “That was my life goal. Be adorable. Now, I can get it in neon lights over my bed.”

5 Star Review: Man Buns by Shari J. Ryan



I got out of the Marine Corps to give my daughter a better life. I’m a strong and capable single dad. I got this, right? Not so much.

The one thing my daughter wants is the hardest to find—a mom. It’s not like they’re selling hot intelligent women at Walmart these days, and with the amount of baggage I’m carrying around, I might be out of luck.

Yeah, so.

We moved from Oahu to Maui. I needed a job, a place to live, and to get us settled. I thought it would be simple, but let’s just say . . . mistakes have been made.

· Mistake #1: I took the first job I was offered. (Should’ve probably asked a couple more questions about the required uniform.)
· Mistake #2: I flirted with Kai, the first attractive woman who crossed my path. (So far out of my league she might as well be a Hawaiian princess.)
· Mistake #3: I fell head over heels for that woman. (See Mistake #2.)

Now I’m standing here showing my butt—no, literally. It's the required uniform at Man Buns, the restaurant I’m working at. (See Mistake #1).

In any case, I can tell you one thing—it’s damn near impossible to convince the woman I can’t live without to take me seriously when I’m serving up burgers, half-naked, and women are constantly ogling my assets.

I’ve gotta try, though. Because Kai is the woman for me, and she’s perfect with Aya. I’ve just gotta get these man buns in gear and figure out how to win her over.









My Review

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


Denver’s time in the Marine Corps is up and now he can focus on his daughter, Aya. That means moving from Oahu to Maui (sounds rough, doesn’t it?) where he has a place to live and a job lined up. Unfortunately for them, there is a snag with the housing and they end up having to stay at a hotel for a few days. It’s at the hotel where Denver meets Kai, the women who would turn his life upside down.

After her parents unexpectedly passed away ten years ago, Kai has been raising her younger sister. But it is time for Kai to get back to her own life. When Denver and Aya show up at the hotel pool where she lifeguards, Kai and Denver immediately click. Sure their back and forth is like 95% high entertaining sarcasm, but you could cut the sexual tension with a knife!
Denver knows he has met his match and it doesn't take long for him to realize he will do anything to keep her around. I'm such a fan of great banter and this book has plenty of it! 

But I'm not going to lie. My favorite character in this book was Aya. Sure she is a 7 year old, but that little girl was hilarious and made me laugh multiple times. Kai couldn’t help but fall in love with her (and of course Denver) and I don't blame her. Besides, if it wasn’t for her wish for a mother, Kai and Denver may have never met.

I really enjoyed this book. It made me laugh out loud more than once, but there were also these really sweet moments that moved me to tears. If you want a sweet, funny read, go 1-click this book!

RELEASE BLITZ & 5 STAR REVIEW: Until We Are Gone by Gia Riley




Until We Are Gone, an all-new Standalone Emotional Romance by Gia Riley is NOW LIVE!!





I wanted a family with Cash.

We had dreams –building a house, kids, a dog, and, yes, even the white picket fence.

Or so I’m told.

I don’t remember anything about my husband. Not the wedding or the vows we shared.

The past ten years were erased and with time, they’re supposed to come back.

But this isn’t your typical case of amnesia

What if I’m not supposed to remember?

What if I was meant to forget?

Maybe I don’t want my old life back.

Because if the accident hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have uncovered the truth.

Losing my memory wasn’t tragic.

Losing my memory was fate.

My Review


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

Meadow has been in an accident that has taken her memory. She doesn’t know her husband, Cash, and only remembers her family that is no longer around. Cash is determined to get back to the life they had before the accident, but Meadow just cannot remember. And once Meadow returns to a life she doesn't know, both their lives turn into a living nightmare. Meadow's journey to discover who she is a tough one and things aren’t always what they appear to be.

This story is hard to read at times and for many different reasons. Maybe you will feel for Cash and his struggles to help Meadow remember. Or maybe your heart will break for Meadow because her attempts to remember result in absolutely nothing. I certainly couldn’t relate to what they were going through, but my heart absolutely broke for both of them.  

I can't recommend this book enough. I found myself crying more than once and I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see how everything played out. The author gives us plenty of twists and turns to keep you thinking and if you are like me, you may come up with your own theories as to what is going on. You'll also meet some  of secondary characters that add a lot of depth to the story
. By the time I finished, I was emotionally exhausted and very happy with the ending.

My Review

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

First things first. If you haven’t read the prequel “Promise,” then you really need to stop what you’re doing and go one click. It explains why Brooklyn and Drew’s relationship is currently the way it is. Plus, it’s free, a quick read, which I think totally necessary.

Drew is an ex NHL hockey player who also happens to be a single dad and is carrying a torch for his sister’s best friend. Brooklyn is a social who wears her heart on her sleeve and is carrying a torch for her best friend’s brother. The thing is that they are fooling no one. Pretty much everyone in their life knows that these two have feelings for each other, but very few people know just how deep those feelings go. When Drew realizes that he is about to lose Brooklyn for what could be forever, he knows he has to do something about it.

Drew. *sigh* Oh Drew. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. He loves his family and will do anything for them. He is an amazing father who makes sure his two beautiful girls grow up in an stable, loving home. And he’s a good friend. A friend who will do anything for those he cares about. There is a scene in this book that ripped my heart out and made me curse TK so much. I won’t say anything more that that but all I could think was “OMG this might be the worst kind of torture for him right now.” And then I cried a little. Or a lot. I’ll never tell.

And then we have Brooklyn who is doing what she thinks she needs to do. It doesn’t matter that it’s definitely the wrong thing. She’s lived her life a certain way for a reason and she is so afraid that going back on that may ruin everything she’s built for herself. Or as I see it, for everyone but herself. Brooklyn and Drew have such a strong connection with each other and I just want them to be happy.

I was a mess by the end of this book. I had tears running down my cheeks and in true TK fashion she had me yelling at my ereader. When finished, I immediately wanted more of them. Brooklyn loves Drew and his two girls and as far as I can see, them being a happy little family will be the only ending I will accept! (You hear that TK? 😉)

A brand new contemporary romance from New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author Katy Evans.

It started as a game.

And my best friend’s soon-to-be brother in law, Cullen Carmichael.

He needed a good luck charm, I needed a distraction.

So we made a gamble and set off for Vegas—but pretty soon—I was in too deep.

But somewhere between big wins and long nights, my house of cards started to tumble.

COVER REVEAL: Daisies & Devin by Kelsey Kingsley



Everybody has a dream,
And mine could take me far.
Just me, and my voice,
A stage, and this guitar.
With patience and some luck,
I could see me, standing there,
But, that was before I saw her -
The girl with the purple hair.

Enchanted by her beauty,
By her soul, and then, her eyes,
I saw the broken girl within,
And my dream became her life.

So, I found myself on a journey,
Of tragedy and letting go,
Of happiness and daisies,
Of serenades and Poe.
But no one taught how to cope,
With life's unpredictable scheme.
Still, I'm the hero in her story,
And she's my only dream.






When I was a wee lassie, I was told by my preschool teachers that I was a natural at storytelling. When I was just a little older than that, an old friend's mother said to me, "Kelsey, one day your books are going to be on the shelves at the library."

Well, Diane, I don't know if my books are ever going to be on the shelves of libraries, but I'm sure as hell going to try.

When I'm not writing stories destined to be bestsellers, I enjoy devouring TV shows, listening to every type of music there is and going to concerts, reading pretty much anything (with a soft spot for romance and certain books located in 18th century Scotland), obsessing over makeup, and pretending to workout.

I also have a fondness for cats, my family, tattoos, and a really good French fry.

COVER REVEAL: Until We're More by Cindi Madsen






Chelsea is smart, funny, gorgeous, and the best friend I’ve ever had. Ever since she left, I’ve been a wreck. I’ve been focused on keeping my family’s MMA gym afloat while I train and coach fighters, anything to not miss her more. But now she's finally back, along with her grumpy, possessive cat, and things are weird between us.

By weird, I mean I can’t stop thinking about her in that way. She’s in the room next door, and it takes all my control not to storm in there, sweep her up, and bring her back to my bed. Even stranger, I’m pretty sure she’d be into it.

And this time, I’m not going to stop fighting until we’re more.





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 new pretty pair, especially if they’re sparkly, colorful, or super tall. She loves music, dancing, and wishes summer lasted all year long. She lives in Colorado (where summer is most definitely NOT all year long) with her husband and three children.

COVER REVEAL: Love Online by Penelope Ward




A Standalone Contemporary Romance Novel

By: NY Times, USA To-day, and #1 Wall Street Journal Best Selling Author, Penelope Ward

RELEASE DATE: Monday, August 27, 2018


Cover designer: Letitia Hasser, RBA designs
Cover Model: Eddy Putter
Cover Photography: Nicole Langholz



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

We met in the least likely of places. It started out innocently enough. I was “ScreenGod” and she was “Montana,” but of course, those weren’t our actual names, just the virtual cloaks we hid behind.
Logging in at night and talking to her was my escape—my sanctuary.

Her real name was Eden, I’d soon come to find out.

From the first time we connected online, I found myself transfixed.

She was an addiction.

At first, we knew nothing about each other’s real identities…and she was adamant that we keep things that way. Anonymity had no effect on our unstoppable chemistry, though. If anything, it allowed us to open up even more in ways we may not have otherwise.

Eden was funny, intelligent, gorgeous—everything I’d ever wanted in a woman.

But I couldn’t really have her.

I had accepted things would have to stay the way they were—until the day I found a clue that led me straight to her.

So I took a chance. 

And that was when our love story really began.
