BLOG TOUR & REVIEW: Miller's Time (Southern Charmers #2) by Ahren Sanders



MILLER'S TIME (Southern Charmer #2) by Ahren Sanders 

Release Date: June 29, 2020 
Cover Design: Leticia Hasser @ RBA Designs
Genre: Contemporary Romance



Miller

I’ve been lucky all my life. 
Until the night I meet Lily. One look at the unbelievably sexy woman was all it took.
For the first time ever, I let my guard down and gave over control.
My lifelong spell of luck ran out the morning I woke alone in a hotel room.
Six months later, I come face to face with the woman who vanished without a trace. 
Only, this time, her name’s not Lily. 
She says it’s all in the past. 
I say she’s dead wrong.
I’m not backing down.
She fooled me once.
It won’t happen again. She’s mine.


Ashlyn

My world was defined by wealth and status. 
It was perfect—until the carefully crafted web of lies was exposed.
The ugly truth was a shattering blow of deception. 
Needing to reinvent myself, I ran, and ended up in the arms of a devastatingly handsome stranger. 
Miller was the kind of man women dream about, which meant he was too good for me. 
That’s why I walked away.
Little did I know that creating a new version of me would bring our lives crashing back together.
Miller Kendrick thinks I’m the woman he met that night.
He’s wrong.

My Review 

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

I really liked Ashlyn and I loved that she was taking control of her life and starting over. I was intrigued as to WHY she was doing it and I liked how we were given bits and pieces throughout the book. By the time we had had the full story, I was in awe of her for taking control of her life. 

I liked Miller, I really did, BUT I needed him to reel in his Alpha-ness multiple times throughout the book. And I needed Ashlyn to not give in so easily. ESPECIALLY since she was moving to this new chapter of her life where it was all about making better choices. Miller never did anything that put her in harm's way, but he took it upon himself to make some very important decisions for her. I know he was coming from a good place, but it still made me mad. There was even one instance where I wanted to punch in him the throat and say "NO! I DON'T CARE IF SHE IS YOUR WIFE, YOU DON'T DO THAT!" 

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this book. Maybe it's because I've been reading a lot of Cinnamon Rolls lately or maybe my tastes are changing, but I just found Miller a bit too much at times. I loved his family. And Ashlyn's. They are supportive and loving and at times, way too involved, but they couldn't have had better families. There were plenty of great moments between family and friends that added so much to the story.  

I look forward to the next book and I'm guessing that it will be about one of Ashlyn's brothers, but I don't know for sure.  **fingers crossed**

EXCERPT

"What's your gut reaction?" Pierce is all business, asking about the house in front of us. 

I don't respond. 

"Where do you want to start? Inside or outside?" 

He goes on, but I can't tear my eyes off the woman standing in the middle of the huddle. 

Ashlyn Rhodes is a fucking vision. 

A vision I'll never forget. That red hair, flawless face, striking green eyes, that fucking body… all of it hits me like a hammer to the chest. My hands itch to touch her, skim along her collarbone, down her chest, and tease until she whimpers. The sound of her pleasure faintly replays in my ears and I blow out a low, slow controlled breath to keep my composure. 

I've had a lot of women in my life. More than most know. But only one sucker-punched me the way this auburn-haired knockout did. 

For two days I knew her as Lily. 

Worshipping her like no other, neither of us holding back. The woman was insatiable, and I was wrapped up. I tried to get to know her better, but she was a master in switching my focus. She was hypnotizing, stealing every ounce of my attention. Only once did she let down her guard and I saw a glimpse of the woman inside. 

She was hiding something, and I intended to breakthrough. 

Three hours later, I woke alone. She vanished, leaving me with nothing but a note. A note she signed with the name Lily. 

But now I know the truth, Ashlyn fucking Rhodes. 

Vaguely, I hear Evin drive up and speak to Pierce, but I stay aimed at the woman I haven't forgotten in almost six months. They go back and forth about this job, rambling about the work involved. I almost speak up when Pierce makes a bullshit comment about referring to another contractor. 

Then her laughter fills the air, and her eyes come to me. The crystal green locks with mine, her pupils growing wide with shock. Recognition flickers in her gaze and the surprise turns into something else. She sucks in a breath, and my skin prickles with the heat between us. 

Evin makes a smartass remark, "This should be interesting." 

He's not talking about the house. A grin spreads across my lips and I focus on my brother. "She's a Prada Princess, huh?" 

"You sure you're ready for this?" 

"I can handle it." 

"I'm going to give you a piece of advice." 

"Don't want to hear it." Because why should I take advice from my little brother that has made more mistakes than I can count? I don't need him to tell me how to fuck things up. 

"Too bad. Speaking from experience, every fucking ounce of effort is worth it." 

"Says the man it took seventeen years to get to this point." It's a low blow, but the truth is the truth. Plus, he has no idea of my history with this vixen.

My Review

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

I love me a southern gentleman and if you were to look that phrase up in the dictionary, Pierce Kendrick's picture would be next to it. He's polite, kind, charming, loving, successful, loyal to a fault and well liked. He doesn't want to stir the pot, but he will do what he needs to do for his loved ones. 

Darby Graham was Pierce's high school sweetheart. And despite that fact that she left town under terrible circumstances and the two haven't spoke in YEARS, she is still one of those people. And now Darby is back in town. 

I love a good second chance romance and this story is a great one. Darby and Pierce's life is so intertwined and even though their past is a complicated one, it is one that they are both willing to get back, if they can. This story is an emotional read, but it's also filled with sweet moments that will have you swooning.

5 STAR REVIEW: Fat Cat Liar by Ahren Sanders




FAT CAT LIAR BY AHREN SANDERS
Release Date: May 21st
Genre: Contemporary Romance





The night I met Greer Palmer was no coincidence.

The plan was perfect.

Everything was in place. All I had to do was get her attention and the rest would take its course.

What I didn’t plan was my reaction the first time she spoke.

“Are you okay?”

Three little words…

That’s all it took for her to steal my breath and shatter every thing I’d expected.

She was supposed to be a spoiled socialite, a pampered princess, an elite heiress— anything other than the striking beauty that blew my misconceptions to pieces.

One kiss and I became obsessed.

One night and I became addicted.

One month and she became my world.

Suddenly, my plan wasn’t so perfect.

To her, I am sunset kisses, whispers of seduction, and promises of forever.

It’s all a lie…

I’m Lawson Hall.

My name and reputation speaks for itself as one of the most successful architects in the industry. Conceited, arrogant, egotistical, ruthless— I’ve earned it all.

In reality, I’ve bided my time, done my job, and waited my turn.

Now is my chance.

Greer thinks we met by accident, but she’s wrong.

Once the lies are exposed, will the truth be enough?

My Review

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

Gah! Lawson, you charming bastard! Greer never saw you coming and quite frankly neither did I! For a good portion of the book you were a big fat liar and just like Greer I couldn’t help but love you. Jerk.

Lawson Hall is damn good architect and his ego is just as big and that results in him making some serious mistakes. He is now under close scrutiny by his bosses, aka his family. They essentially tell him that he will need to knock his next assignment out of the park. Once Lawson knows what it is, he concocts a plan.

Greer Palmer spends her days making women feel better about themselves. She’s also a personal shopper, but working with the women is where she really finds happiness. She has a heart that is a pure as gold and the personality to go with it. She’s basically an angel on earth and i really wanted to be her best friend.

I’d like to think that her meeting Lawson was written in the stars or something but that is all Lawson. By moving across the hall from Greer he is determined to get the information he needs to succeed at his job. At first I so was apprehensive about him starting anything with her, but the fact that Greer essentially knocked him on his ass and made him rethink everything about his life made up for that. And then the intense personal turmoil later in the book. Penance enough? Maybe. Maybe not. Either way, it was quite painful to read at times.

I loved this book so much. Greer and Lawson weren't a perfect couple, but who is? They were sweet and sexy and when it came time for Lawson to prove his love for Greer, the man stepped up BIG TIME. I enjoyed every moment and it's now one of my favorite books by Ahren. Now go 1-click this book!






EXCERPT

“Don’t.” I pull her closer, brushing my lips against hers. “You want to know something, ask.”

She nods and resumes scraping lightly on my cheeks.

“Here’s another tidbit of information. I’m in no rush to introduce you to my brother. He’s a lady’s man, and he’ll have no problem trying to snatch you from right under my nose. I’m not an idiot and know a good thing when I find it.”

She giggles, the sound breaking any tension from earlier.

“You’re ridiculous.”

“I’m smart.”

“If you had a rough day, we don’t have to go out.”

“I’m tempted to keep you here like this, especially looking like you do. But I thought you wanted to meet your friends for drinks.”

“What’s wrong with the way I look?”

I make a point to sweep my eyes slowly over her face, neck, shoulders, and chest, stopping when I hit her low-cut neckline. “Your tits are about to burst out of your top.”

“They are not!” She swats me playfully.

I cock an eyebrow at her. “Pretty sure every man that sees you tonight is going to think the same thing. Do me a favor and don’t make any sudden movements.”

“Now, you’re being silly. This top doesn’t show that much cleavage.”

To make a point, I lean in and skim my lips along the edge on the fabric, stopping at the lowest point and darting my tongue out to touch her skin. She inhales sharply.

“Now, do you see my point?"
