RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Quarterback Sneak by Kandi Steiner





Holden Moore can have any girl he wants... except the coach's daughter. 
Quarterback Sneak by Kandi Steiner is now live! 



Quarterback Holden Moore can have any girl he wants.
Except me: the coach's daughter.

With piercing green eyes, herculean biceps, and irresistible dimples, Holden is the number one target for every girl on campus. But according to his teammates, football is the only love of his life.

He's their leader, their QB1 and team captain who is all business and no play.

But when I'm with him? Mr. Serious isn't serious at all. He loves to push my buttons, to pin me with those sexy eyes of his and tease me until I bite back.

I remind him I'm off limits.
He can't have me, and I don't want him—or anyone else, for that matter.

I'm here for one reason: to show my father I'm more than his greatest disappointment.

But when an old injury flares up and I'm forced to work with Holden every day as his athletic trainer, his attempts to get under my skin start becoming harder to resist.

We can't give in, no matter how much the air crackles between us when we're close.
I'm the coach's daughter, and if Holden Moore wants to go pro, he's got to play by daddy's rules.

Otherwise, he'll be off the team.
And he's not the only one with something to lose.

My Review

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

I love when a character thinks they are broken. I love it even more when they find that person who convinces them they are anything but. On the surface, Holden may not seem like the right person for Julep, but there is a lot more to him than being the QB. 

I really enjoyed watching Holden and Julep's relationship form. Of course she finds herself attracted to him, but at first she wants nothing to do with him. The last things she wants is to get involved with a football player, especially one that plays for her father. But with them being neighbors and her working for the football team, she finds herself in his orbit more and more. And I'm sure you can guess what happens. 

Holden was top tier book boyfriend material. The end of the book was just..... *chef's kiss*. Let's just say that I really enjoy a fantastic declaration of love. This book is full of emotion, great banter and plenty of steam. This whole series has been giving us amazing couples and amazing book boyfriends. I'm excited to see what Kandi gives us next!

RELEASE BLITZ & 5 STAR REVIEW: A Little Too Close (Madigan Mountain #2) by Rebecca Yarros



Nine years ago, Weston Madigan saved me. I came to Colorado penniless, heartbroken, and pregnant, searching for a fresh start. Weston gave me a job at his family’s resort, then left the next day and never returned, not even to visit.

Then I stumble in on Weston cooking breakfast shirtless—gloriously, inappropriately shirtless—in the shared kitchen of my duplex in employee housing. Given the shock on both our faces, he wasn’t expecting a roommate either, let alone two.

The growly pilot is only home to start his family’s new heli-skiing operation. I can handle being his temporary roommate, right? Chemistry and attraction aren’t impossible to ignore when you agree on ground rules. Besides, even with those gorgeous, brooding brown eyes, the guy is a walking thundercloud…until my daughter, Sutton, makes him laugh and he smiles at me. Then everything changes. Cue inconvenient heart flip.

This is only temporary.
I can’t fall for Weston.
I. Will. Not. Fall. For. Weston.
But rules go out the window when you’re a little too close.

My Review

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

Weston is a no nonsense guy who is returning home kind of against his will. I say that because returning home may be he last thing he wants, but it is also the thing he needs to do. Returning home means working for the family business, which also means opening old wounds. 

Callie had a brief encounter with Weston when she first came to town, but he left the next day and the two don't see each other again until they find themselves as roommates, along with Callie's daughter, Sutton. Rules are drawn up and boundaries are placed, but Callie makes it her mission to break Weston's grumpy exterior and with the help of Sutton, she sees it as a real possibility. 

I really love the moment when two characters finally give in to their feelings. Callie knows it is probably a bad idea to develop feelings for Weston and Weston is determined to never give his heart to another person, but these two have wonderful chemistry and eventually they just can't take it anymore. It's so good!

There is nothing better than a good book with the grumpy/sunshine trope. And this is what the author has given us. This book is funny and full of feelings and while I don't think I cried (Rebecca's books almost always make me cry), this book did tug at my heartstrings. Weston forms an adorable relationship with Callie's daughter Sutton and those two just made me smile with how much they loved each other. 

I admit that I did not read the other books in this series, but I am definitely going to read them because I am very curious about the other brothers.

RELEASE BLITZ & 4 1/2 STAR REVIEW: Runaway Groomsman by Meghan Quinn



“He runs from the altar—and finds love in the place he least expects.”

RUNAWAY GROOMSMAN, a brand new, heartfelt romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn about new beginnings and finding the romanticized happily ever after in the most unlikely of places, is Now Available in all formats! Dive into this slow burn romance with “a healthy dose of humor and heart” (Library Journal). One-click your copy today!




Hollywood screenwriter Sawyer Walsh knows a good love story when he sees it. But when it comes to real life romance, he’s a mess. That’s how he finds himself standing at the altar…as his ex-girlfriend ties the knot with his very famous best friend. The pressure, the resentment, the media coverage—it’s all too much—and before he knows exactly what he’s doing, he’s making a run for it, leaving a shocked congregation and flashing cameras in his wake.

Needing to lie low amid the media fallout, Sawyer lands in the charming town of Canoodle, California, where he crosses paths with Fallon Long, who runs the Canoodle Cove Cabins, a family-owned business and Sawyer’s new short-term residence. Overwhelmed with renovations and her long list of responsibilities, Fallon is struggling to make ends meet while attempting to bring the cabins back to their original glory. So when Sawyer arrives, she is grateful for the income, but immediately writes him off as just another vapid Hollywood hack, until he begins to prove her wrong at every turn.

As Fallon comes closer to saving the family business, an undeniable bond forms between her and the handsome screenwriter. But the pressures of her family obligations and Sawyer’s notoriety might prove to be too much for anyone to handle. Could Canoodle be the setting for a new romance—or is true love just a Hollywood cliché?







My Review

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

Sawyer needs to lay low for a little bit and finds himself in Canoodle, California. He's drunk, wearing a ridiculous tux and needs a place to stay. Luckily for him, he meets Fallon and she provides him with that place. It only takes a day for Sawyer to realize that Canoodle is a place where he lick his wounds and wait for things to go back to normal. 

And that is when things get interesting. Fallon is in the middle of renovating and through a bit of mistaken identity, Sawyer finds himself taking part in those renovations. Without Fallon knowing about it. That was actually one of the things I liked best about this book. Sawyer enjoyed the work and it allowed him to get to know Fallon's grandfather, but it also made him feel useful. 

Throughout his stay he ends up helping Fallon and they  become friends. The slow burn comes in because when the book starts Fallon has a boyfriend, but I can assure that this book is safe. And to be honest I love when a couple is friends first and that is exactly what Sawyer and Fallon become....friends. 

The entire time I was reading this book, I was picturing it as a movie. It had a very Hallmark-y feel to it. Like most Hallmark movies, it is a slow burn and while I don't always like reading slow burns, I really loved this one. While it has that Hallmark feel to it, this book also brings the spice...it just takes a bit to get there. And it is totally worth it!
