RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Open Fire (Florida Glaze, #3) by ME Carter

His chestnuts will be roasting…

With just 24 hours to hang out with his dad, Becker Bell is determined to get home for Christmas. Things aren’t looking promising. Multiple delays are making it harder than necessary to get where he needs to be, leaving him frustrated and even worse… bored. That is, until a scattered redhead is knocked right off her feet in front of him.

Sloan Webster just wants to be with her family for the holidays. However, between security mishaps and several hours’ worth of delays, it seems the universe is against her. But when an unexpected good Samaritan offers his assistance, things begin looking up.

Maybe there’s time for a Christmas miracle after all…

My Review

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

Sloan and Becker find themselves stranded at an airport, trying to get home for Christmas. Initially on their own, they discover they are on the same flight and have plenty of time to kill, so they spend it together. There isn't a ton to do in the airport, but they definitely find ways to entertain themselves and in the process, they get to know each other. 

Now, there isn't a lot of spice in this book, but honestly, it didn't need it. But there is a lot of possibility of spice. It's clear that Sloan and Becker like each other, but their current situation is being stranded at the airport with lots of other people. And they are headed home to see family, but they will eventually be back in the same city. Lots of possibilities. 

I started this book while I was on a couple hour bus ride and I was able to finish it while I was still on the bus ride. It was an absolute delight and I couldn't put it down!

Author Bio

My name is ME Carter and I have no idea how I ended writing books. I'm more of a story teller (the more exaggerated the better) and I happen to know people who helped me get those stories on paper.

I love reading (read almost 300 books last year), hate working out (but I do it anyway because my trainer makes me), love food (but hate what it does to my butt) and love traveling to non-touristy places most people never see.

I live in Houston with my four kids, Mary, Elizabeth, Carter and Bug, who was just a twinkle in my eye when I came up with my pen name. Yeah, I'll probably have to pay for his therapy someday for being left out.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Untying the Knot by Meghan Quinn

“Your heartbeat is the cadence of my life, and without it in my palm, I’m an aimless wanderer.”

UNTYING THE KNOT, a brand new steamy, witty, emotional romance full of heart and humor from USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn, is Now Available in all formats! Dive into this romantic comedy sure to keep you on your toes. One-click your copy today!

A spin-off from the #1 Amazon bestsellers, A Not So Meet Cute and So Not Meant To Be, USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn brings you a heart-warming, yet hilarious full-length novel on what life is like after the happily ever after.

Ryot Bisley is my husband.

Yes, the former third baseman for the Chicago Bobbies and absolute heart throb of the Windy City. That Ryot Bisley.

The first time I ran into him, he was grumpy, a horrific host, and left me on his sofa with nothing but a nylon baseball flag to use as a blanket.

The second time, he reluctantly bought me dinner, stared at my chest the entire night, and still sported that permanent frown.

The third time . . . well, that was a game changer. His smile captured me, his teasing charmed me, and his touches excited me.

So when he was called up to the majors that didn’t stop us from knocking it out of the park and all the way down the aisle.

Eleven years later…I’d love to say we’re happy as ever but the man who sent me dirty text messages every day is long gone and Mr. Frowny Face is back.

He’s so focused on trying to build a life after baseball that he doesn’t see the life we’ve already created together. . .so I make the hard decision and serve him divorce papers.

Problem is…my husband refuses to accept those papers. Instead, he has a new game plan that makes untying the knot of our marriage a little tricky. And just when I thought I wanted to be traded . . . he's slowly, tantalizingly roping me back in.

My Review

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

The marriage in trouble trope is not my favorite. If I had to put it in a top ten list of my favorite tropes, it would definitely be at the bottom. Having said that, I didn't dislike this book, but I also didn't love it. 

I didn't just like Ryot, I freaking LOVED him. The book is told in the past and present so we get to see how their relationship developed and how they got to where they are today. Their first meeting was actually quite terrible and they go through periods of time where they are apart and not even communicating besides creeping on each other's Instagram accounts. (That made me laugh because that is definitely something people do.) But then they do reconnect and Myla does not want a relationship so they decide to be friends. Yup. Friends. Ryot has to play the long game and he did it masterfully! 

To say that Ryot is blindsided when Myla serves him with divorce papers is putting it lightly. He doesn't understand why, but that doesn't stop him from declaring that he isn't going to give her up without a fight. Yes, he and Myla had a few rocky months in their marriage, but once he realized where he went wrong, he went all out to prove to her that he not only still loved her, but he wanted to make their marriage work. Cue the swoon behavior. 

I had a love/hate relationship with Myla. She has a super complicated past, so that colored a lot of her decision making, and I understood that, but at the same time I couldn't help but dislike how she handled things. 

And what is it with this author writing side characters that I dislike? Some of her recent books have some unlikable characters in them. I really wanted to like Myla's best friend Nicole, but she got on my nerves so much. I know she was just trying to be a friend, but I felt as though she overstepped multiple times when it came to Myla and Ryot's relationship. 

I did enjoy the crossover characters from the author's previous books. My only problem is I have the memory of a goldfish and it takes me a bit to put all the pieces together. But I always love to revisit characters and see how they are doing. 

USA Today Bestselling Author, wife, adoptive mother, and peanut butter lover. Author of romantic comedies and contemporary romance, Meghan Quinn brings readers the perfect combination of heart, humor, and heat in every book.
