RELEASE BLITZ & 5 STAR REVIEW: Say Yes by Kandi Steiner




Say Yes by Kandi Steiner is now live!

Two strangers.
Two words.
One unforgettable summer...

When you're an artist, everything has to be perfect.

Or so I thought, until my professor told me my perfection was boring and unoriginal. Studying abroad in Florence has taught me one thing: I know nothing when it comes to what makes art truly beautiful.

So, with my professor's words in my ear, I step outside one evening and decide to say yes to any and everything I'm faced with until the sun rises.

Of course, I didn't expect him to show up.

Liam Benson, the broody, sexy, tortured artist from my class who I can't stand. He's got a sour outlook on the world and an ego so big no one could properly stroke it to his satisfaction.

When he finds out what I'm doing, he hijacks my "yes" night.
And after just twelve hours with him, I'm desperate for more.

But Liam is running from more than I could ever understand, and with his heart guarded and mind made up about life, I don't stand a chance.

I convince myself that we can keep it casual.
But walking away from him at the end of the summer is as impossible as painting outside the lines.

I used to think when you're an artist, everything has to be perfect.

Turns out everything has to be painful, and messy, and fleeting.

If only I'd known that before I fell under Liam Benson's spell.

My Review

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

This is one of those books that I picked up to read a few chapters and the next thing I knew it was hours later and I had finished it. I spent the next day feeling a bit sleep deprived, but it was absolutely worth it!

Harley is a gifted artist, but she's struggling. She needs to throw caution to the wind and live a little. So when she sets out to have a night of "saying yes", the last person she wants to see is Liam. Liam is that guy in class. You know...the one who does well while seemingly doing very little work. So while he annoys Harley, he manages to convince her that he should help out with her "say yes" night. 

I really enjoyed the development of Harley and Liam's relationship. He loves to get on her nerves and as much as she hated it, she also loved it. They had some good banter, but they also leaned into serious things at times. Liam has a dark past that has made him the man he is today. 

Just like Kandi's previous book, Close Quarters, this book was full of places I have never been and I loved reading about them. Also, it takes place in 1996 so there is a lot of 90's nostalgia, which I also enjoyed. This book is a lot of fun, but it is also emotional. I ugly cried during my reading binge and it was such a good cry. 



Kandi Steiner is a bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing "emotional rollercoaster" stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance -- in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you're a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she's your gal.

An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women's Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her "freedom of press." She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.

When Kandi isn't writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, talking with her extremely vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys live music, traveling, anything heavy in carbs, beach days, movie marathons, craft beer and sweet wine -- not necessarily in that order.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Control Artist by Carrie Aarons





Dahlia Akana has no idea where she’s going in life.

All she’s ever wanted to do is travel, and her inner circle pressuring her to figure out her purpose only makes her wanderlust grow stronger. But she’s comfortable being a nanny to her nieces in the small Pennsylvania town where her sister lives. Though she’s far overstayed her desired timeline, it’s a place filled with friends and familiarity while she plots her next move.

Until she meets the devastatingly gorgeous, obnoxious rookie who is slated to be the next superstar on the town’s top tier baseball team. He’s everything she doesn’t want, but can’t seem to stay away from. As they spend more time together, she discovers that he might just be the anchor she’s always looked for.

When secrets, lies, and a humiliating public scandal rock their world, will she be able to stay with him? Fight for him? Or will her age-old tactic of fleeing erase any shot at a happily ever after?

Garrett Chester has always known exactly what he wants.

To be the best pitcher in the history of the major leagues. And luckily, with more talent in his pinky than other people have in their entire body, he’s well on his way. It’s his attitude that leaves something to be desired. Cocky, reckless and soaking up his newfound fame, the rookie attracts the attention of the tabloid press.

When he meets the feisty woman just as beautiful as the flower she’s named after, she gives him a refreshing reality check. With each passing day, not only does he fall harder, but she makes him want to be a better man.

Except the past that haunts him inevitably catches up, and ends up taking her down with him. Alone, exposed and cast out, it’s a reminder of the childhood trauma that has always plagued him. Can he put the rumors to rest, piece together a career in shambles, and be the hero she needs?







My Review

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

They say opposites attract and this book is a very good example for this. Garrett is a cocky, rookie baseball player who  has no problem living the high life. Dahlia is an A+ aunt who, when she gets the itch, travels and does what she can to support that. But she also enjoys the quiet life and Garrett is anything but quiet. So on paper, these two should definitely not work, but all it takes is one time and they cannot get enough of each other. 

I really enjoyed this book. Dahlia and Garrett, while very different from each other, are a great pair. Turns out they have a lot more in common than they originally thought and what started out as a kind of friends with benefits situation, slowly turned into a lot more. 

This story was a quick read for me. I was completely invested in Dahlia and Garrett's relationship and I really wanted things to work out for them. They kind of balanced each other out and were good for each other. 

And since this is book 4 in the Callahan family series, of course we get to see characters from the previous books, which is something I always enjoy. 



Author Bio

Author of romance novels such as The Tenth Girl and Privileged, Carrie Aarons writes books that are just as swoon-worthy as they are sarcastic. A former journalist, she prefers the love stories of her imagination, and the athleisure dress code, much better.

When she isn't writing, Carrie is busy binging reality TV, having a love/hate relationship with cardio, and trying not to burn dinner. She lives in Texas with her husband, daughter, son and Lab/Great Dane rescue.

4 Star Review: Friends with Benedicts by Staci Hart

 


Timing is everything.

Presley Hale and Sebastian Vargas are no strangers to goodbye. Their high school summers were spent wrapped up in each other until she would inevitably go home to California. One season after college, Sebastian finally escaped the little Texas town to travel the world, and they said goodbye for what they thought might be the last time.

Sebastian went one way. Presley went the other.

For the first time in five years, they’re both in town, but the timing is no better than ever. So the only thing to do is what they do best. Keep it casual.

Friends with benefits.

They’ve done it before—doing it again will be easy.

But their hearts don’t get the memo.

When the lines of their arrangement blur, Presley and Sebastian are faced with decisions they’ve avoided for years. And that’s not even their biggest problem.

A small town in danger of failing.

A secret that could tear them apart.

And two hearts that can’t hide anymore.

They’ve shared so many summers, but none compare to what they’ll face.

Timing is everything.

And their time is almost up.








My Review

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

As you can probably glean from the title of this book, this has the friends with benefits trope, but it also has a few others thrown in. Can I interest you in small town romance and  a secret baby? If so, this is the book for you. 

Sebastian and Presley have always had terrible timing. Having only spent summers together (Presley would visit her family) while they were in high school, they find themselves once again in the same places. Except this time, Presley is the one staying put and Sebastian is leaving. Or is he?

I enjoyed this book. It was sweet and funny and an easy read. It gives us plenty of secondary characters, most importantly, Presley's cousins. They made me laugh out loud multiple times throughout the book and I am looking forward to reading their stories! 







Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life -- a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can't forget that. She's also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She's been a wife, though she's certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She's also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she's been drinking whiskey. When she's not writing, she's reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.

COVER REVEAL: Brooklyn Monroe Wants It All by Karen Booth



Brooklyn Monroe Wants It All
by Karen Booth
October 25 2021
Never Too Late Book 2


She can’t hit the snooze on her biological clock forever…

Love, career, kids—Brooklyn Monroe wants it all. Her beauty company? A triumph. Her love life? Total fail. At 42, that makes motherhood her top priority. With no man in her life, she’s prepared to fly solo, but her plan is derailed when a mailing list mishap turns Brooklyn into a someone-get-me-pregnant internet meme. Making her PR nightmare go away entails a soul-baring interview on national TV. And the guy asking the questions? Her all-too sexy ex.

Talk show host Alec Trakas is the king of bad timing. Case in point, his heartbreaking romance with Brooklyn. Alec was all about commitment but Brooklyn was launching her start-up, and forever wasn’t in the cards. Now a shot at his ultimate dream job depends on convincing Brooklyn to spill the secrets leading to her viral celebrity. It sets Alec’s star rising, but puts Brooklyn in a sea of flirty men. Fate has thrown them back together. Sparks are flying. But is the timing finally right? Because having it all might not be worth the risk of losing each other again.

5 Star Review: The Perfect Catch by Meghan Quinn









"Kiss me. Just this once . . . please Walker."Those whispered words were my undoing . . .

As the most hated player in baseball, I had two options: either clean up my image or pack my bags. Being traded wasn't an option which only meant one thing, I had to become compliant.

That's how I found myself sharing a small bistro table with Kate Chapman, the Chicago Bobbies newest PR Manager. Devastatingly beautiful, vastly intelligent, and incredibly cunning, she knows exactly how to handle my grumpy demeanor.

It was supposed to be simple. Book some PR events, show up, smile for the camera, and be done. But one massive mistake on my end sends me into the trenches with Kate, forcing me to open up to her.

Innocent glances turn into cordial encounters.
Secret touches turn into tempting invitations.
And dangerous nights alone turn into consuming desperation.

I’ve never wanted a woman as much as I want her. And I know she wants me, but there’s a no fraternizing with the players rule. Neither of us can afford to lose our jobs, but we also can't seem to keep our hands off each other either.

My Review

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

I love to watch a grumpy man crumble. And Walker is the GRUMPIEST of men. The glimpses of him that we got in some of the previous books do not do this man justice. 

I. LOVE. HIM. SO. MUCH. 

There were sections of this book that I read multiple times because they were some of the angstiest/sexy shit I have read this year. You could just feel how much Walker and Kate wanted each other, despite the fact that they knew it couldn't go anywhere. The chemistry between them was white hot and I could not get enough. 

I know this book technically isn't part of a series, but the Towel Brigade is definitely a thing and we do get to see a few friendly faces, as well as meet some new ones. Some of who I hope we get to see in the future.

My Review

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

I've never met a Kennedy Ryan book I didn't like. And usually when I finish one of her books, I immediately message friends to see if they have also read it. And if they haven't, I tell them to. 

Neevah and Cannon are just wonderful. I was a bit worried with him being her director, that their relationship could have easily gone into extremely inappropriate territory, but thankfully it didn't. There were actually a few plot points that I kept waiting to go certain ways. Basically the plot of this book could have turned into one big cliché trope, BUT that didn't happen and I am grateful to the author for that. 

I just loved this book y'all. It's sweet and sexy and tackles important topics. Kennedy is so good at creating a complicated story, but allowing it to unfold so effortlessly. I won't get into the specifics because I don't want to give anything away, but  just know that there a lot that goes on, but it never feels like too much. 

CW: cheating (past relationship), death of a parent, chronic illness


EXCERPT

“Turn around.”

It’s a guttural command. He bends me over the arm of the couch, and my hands hit the cushion for support, to steady myself. At the sound of the condom tearing, my inner muscles contract, bracing for him. He spreads my cheeks and, slipping his whole hand between my legs, cups the trembling flesh. I’m unprepared for the swipe of his tongue. For the subtle abrasion of his beard scraping the inner skin of my thighs. For the sound of him eating me. I push back against his face, helpless, no shame. Digging my nails into the cushions, I widen my legs to give me more, to take more for myself. He grips my thighs, holding me steady for his devouring mouth until, with a sob that sails over the rooftop, over the city, I contract around his delving tongue. The orgasm hits hard, tightening the muscles in my thighs and calves. With staccato breaths, I bury my face in the couch, biting my lip to the point of pain.


“Canon,” I beg. “Stop teasing me and—”

He shoves in, and the words tumble back down my throat, recessing into the shock of this pleasure.

“Jesus.” Need shreds my voice to ribbons. 

He coasts his hand up my back, gently cuffs my neck. Ass in the air, I rise up on my toes, begging for breath, petitioning for more dick. He gives it to me, pushing impossibly deeper.

“So damn good,” he grunts behind me.

I hope I never get over how perfect he feels inside me, like I was molded to his specifications. Shaped for his dimensions. I moan and reach my hand back to pull at one of my cheeks, widening the way for his cock. It feels like he goes where no dick has gone before, deeper, better. Somehow I feel each thrust in my heart. His every touch plays on my emotions, and tears sting my eyes. His hand tightens at my hip, and he slides the other hand up my arm, finds my hand on the couch and laces our fingers together. He sets a frenetic pace that sends the blood singing through my body again. The cushion absorbs my scream as I come, and I punish the soft cotton with clawing nails. With his voice strangled, his fingers fisted in my hair, he comes. 

Collapsing against my back, a heavy, happy burden, his breath stilted and warm at my neck, he snakes one muscled arm around my middle, clutching me. After the urgent, feral coupling, it’s a cherishing hold. I cross my arm over his at my waist and tangle our fingers. It’s fragile and sweet, this moment, like flakes of sugar disintegrating on your tongue when you’ve barely had time to taste.
