RELEASE BLITZ & 5 STAR REVIEW: 50 Ways to Win Back Your Lover by Kelly Siskind



50 Ways to Win Back Your Lover
by Kelly Siskind is now live!




From Kelly Siskind comes a slow-burn romantic comedy about one man’s creative attempt to win back his high school sweetheart after a change in fortune gives them a second chance at love.

Growing up, I had it all—my art, close friends, a gorgeous girlfriend who owned my heart—but then my life exploded.

Turns out my father was laundering money, and my whole family got shoved into witness protection. No notice. No chance to explain. I was ripped away from beautiful, blue-eyed Delilah Moon, shattering both our worlds. 

A decade later, fate has given us a second chance.

The cartel my father worked for has been wiped out. I’ve returned to my hometown, determined to win back the love of my life. But Delilah is engaged.

Or . . . is she?

I’m almost positive she’s lying about her fiancĂ© to protect her heart. Which means I need to up my game.

I’ve made a list of fifty ways to prove we’re meant to be. Except Delilah’s barely looking at me, never mind swooning. I have a feeling my disappearance scarred her more than she’s admitting, and no one in town will tell me what happened . . .

My Review

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

If I could use one word to describe this book it would be "pining". There is SO MUCH PINING in this book and it is of the A+ variety. E was just the absolute best and I loved him (and his brothers) so much. 

E returning to his hometown to reunite with Delilah may not be the best idea, but it is literally everything he has been waiting for. He knew that winning her back wouldn't be easy, but he was up for the task. And he knew exactly how to do it. 

Delilah doesn't trust E, but she has a really good reason. It's clear that she still loves him, but she doesn't know how to trust him again. I loved that she really put him through the wringer. It made for some excellent angst that tugged at my heart strings for a lot of the book. 

I just loved this book so much. As soon as I was done, I wanted to immediately reread it. It gave me all the warm and fuzzies, but it also delivered some super sexy times. 

Now bring on the moody Desmond Bower....I am ready!!!

4 STAR REVIEW: The Knockout Rule by Kelly Siskind






Growing up with an adoring father for a boxing legend isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. It looks more like hospital visits, bloody noses, and cracked ribs.

Isla Slade now works as a physiotherapist, helping athletes heal their bodies. Except for boxers. She has no interest in reliving the stress of her teen years. Dating someone in the boxing world? She’d rather snort wasabi powder.

Until she meets Preston Church.

Preston manages heavyweight boxing darling Brick Kramarov. A brute who’s built tougher than his name, with a cocky attitude to boot. She wants nothing to do with either man, but her father begs her to help them prepare for a huge Vegas fight.

She doesn’t expect Preston to recite romantic poems and slowly break her resolve. His fascinating mind gets under her skin, even if his star athlete reminds her how much she hates boxing.

Too bad it’s Brick coaching Preston how to woo Isla, falling for her from the sidelines. Once she finds out, she’ll have to decide if she can risk loving another man who puts it all on the line for the knockout.







My Review

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

I really liked this book! Isla got on my nerves a little bit, but overall I liked her. For me, this book is all about Eric. I love a cinnamon roll and Kelly had given us a doozy in this book. Eric, aka Brick, the brutish boxer is quite the character. We learn very early on in this book just how different he is from boxer persona and it delighted me!

I will say that the synopsis is a tad misleading because I feel like it makes it seem like Isla and Preston are the main couple, but that's not the case. It's made very clear from the moment they meet that Isla is interested in Eric, but Preston ends up playing a big part of the story. 

I'm such a huge fan of Kelly's books. They are funny and heartfelt and always make me feel good. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

RELEASE BLITZ & 4 1/2 STAR REVIEW: The Beat Match by Kelly Siskind



Weston Aldrich is known for his devastating looks and crisp Italian suits. He's been groomed to take over his family business and is on the brink of closing a massive merger. Only two wild cards can derail him.

Wild Card One: If anyone learns he moonlights as a masked DJ, his credibility will be toast.Wild Card Two: Annie can't-hold-a-job Ward.

The Annie Ward he promised to help raise after her brother died. The scatterbrained girl who makes it her mission in life to drive him crazy. The gorgeous woman he's not supposed to fantasize about, let alone kiss.

Annie hates Wes's insanely overprotective nature, and how his ridiculous bone structure makes him look like a Greek god. His jokes about her plethora of jobs are beyond irksome. She has no plans to tell him about her latest aspiration, to match beats as a budding DJ. Until she learns what Wes does at night. Now she plans to prove Weston Aldrich has met his match.

My Review

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

Okay. I've read a few books with the "I promised my best friend that I would take of their younger sister, but now I find myself extremely attracted to her and I don't know what to do about it" storyline and this one might be my favorite! 

I freaking LOVED Wes and Annie!! You could also say that this book also falls under the opposites attract trope because these two lead VERY different lives. While Annie goes from job to job, Wes pretty much eats, sleeps and breathes his job at the family pharmaceutical business. Their personalities were so different that many times I thought "Oh, these two will NEVER be able to make things work!" BUT they have a history (see my first paragraph) and it is that history that keeps them in each other's lives. 

This book is sweet and very funny at times. Once again the author gives an unconventional career for one of her characters. I absolutely loved the fact that Wes moonlighted as a DJ. I can't remember ever reading a book about a DJ, male or female. I'm sure they are out there, but I can't think of any . While I was reading those scenes I could see them playing out in a movie or tv show.

5 STAR REVIEW: New Orleans Rush by Kelly Siskind





Falling for your surly boss is a rotten idea.
Letting him saw you in half is even worse…


Beatrice Baker may be a struggling artist, but she believes all hardships have silver linings…until she follows her boyfriend to New Orleans and finds him with another woman. Instead of turning those lemons into lemonade, she drinks lemon drop martinis and keys the wrong man’s car.

Now she works for Huxley Marlow of the Marvelous Marlow Boys, getting shoved in boxes as an on-stage magician’s assistant. A cool job for some, but Bea’s been coerced into the role to cover her debt. She also maybe fantasizes about her boss’s adept hands and what else they can do.

She absolutely will not fall for him, or kiss him senseless. Until she does. The scarred, enigmatic Huxley has unwittingly become her muse, unlocking her artistic dry spell, but his vague nightly activities are highly suspect. The last time Beatrice trusted a man, her bank account got drained and she almost got arrested. Surely this can’t end that badly...right?

My Review 

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

First thing we need to talk about is how this story is about a magician. A magician! And he has magician brothers! I know I’ve never read a book about a family of magicians. So right away that grabbed my attention.

Huxley is the oldest of the Marlow boys. After his father died, Huxley took it upon himself to become the head of the family. He takes on all the problems and finds a way to fix things. The current problem is that he has no assistant and he’s a bit down on his luck, but that all changes when he meets Beatrice. 

Newly single and suddenly homeless, a short series events results in Beatrice owing Huxley. So she becomes his assistant, despite not knowing what she is doing. And her giant case of stage fright doesn’t help matters either.

Once Beatrice enters Huxley’s life, everything changes for the better. He’s known as the surly Marlow brother, but not with Beatrice. She has a knack of bringing out the best in the people around her and that is definitely the case with Huxley. He can't help but fall for her.

I just LOVED this book. Huxley was one of the more swoon worthy characters I’ve read recently. Beatrice and Huxley fell hard for each other and it was so lovely to watch unfold. Their relationship not only made me laugh at times, but I also got a little emotional at one point. And of course there was a whole lot of swoon going on. 

I can't recommend this book enough. The storyline was great and the secondary characters left me wanting more of their story. I smiled the whole time I read it and I was left with a delightful, warm fuzzy feeling. Go 1-click this book!

My Review

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

In Kelly's two previous books, we followed Rachel and Ainsley on their path to having their birthday wishes realized. And now it’s Gwen’s turn. Her wish is to finally discover the identity of her father and with the recent passing of her mother, it’s now or never. She has 36 hours to solve the mystery and she is determined to do it.

The other part to this story is Gwen reconnecting with the first and only guy she has ever loved. Gwen has loved August for almost as long as she has known him. But nine years ago she betrayed him in one of the worst ways possible and is convinced that there is no way back from that. So when he appears out of nowhere and agrees to help Gwen find her father, it all seems too good to be true. And maybe it is.

Over the course of 36 hours, Gwen and August are able to solve the mystery of Gwen’s father, but they also uncover much more than either of them ever expected. And not just about Gwen’s lineage. They never talk about what happened nine years ago and now is as good a time as any. Especially since they don’t know what will happen after the weekend is over.

I loved this story. It's sweet, a bit angsty, with a some sexy throw in. (I did love the sexy times!) The author has given us a second chance romance with a little mystery thrown in and kudos to Kelly for keeping my attention on both fronts. I found myself making my own guesses as to how everything would work out, but ev
erything was not as it seemed and the twists and turns kept my attention the whole time. Another fantastic book by Kelly Siskind!

EXCERPT
August was a slight step ahead of me. I followed close on his heels until we were outside. We paused, fingers intertwined. He faced me and ran his thumb over the back of my hand. It was a simple brush, but there was nothing simple about touching August.

We both glanced at our clasped hands. My breath faltered. The past few days had been warm for April, the heatwave steaming the evenings, too. Being with August made it steamier.

He wound both our arms around my back, pulling me against him. “You look beautiful, Possum.”

His nickname for me pinched my heart. As kids, I’d pretend to sleep sometimes while we’d watch TV, like a deceiving possum playing dead. I’d then bolt upright to scare the living shit out of him. A screeching August was supremely entertaining.

I tilted my head back to look into his eyes, every memory we’d shared reflected in those hazel pools. “I’ve missed that nickname.”

His free hand came to my cheek, knuckles brushing it gently. “I’ve missed you. It was always there, under my skin, in every song, but I didn’t realize how much until today. My heart is fucking racing.”

God, this man. I squeezed our laced palms and unfurled my other over his sternum. Over his heart. Need bellowed in that thundering beat. “You don’t smell like grass.”

He wrinkled his nose. “I used to smell like weed?”

“Like grass, dummy. Your lawn mowing business.”

He smiled and shook his head lightly. “We can roll around in a park, if you want.” He sucked on his bottom lip while eyeing mine.

Lord have mercy. “I can’t believe this is happening.”

“Oh, it’s happening.” He gripped my hand tighter, pulled me closer, brushed his nose against mine.

My best friend, the friend I loved irrevocably and thought I'd lost for good, might actually kiss me.

RELEASE BLITZ, 5 STAR REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Stud by Kelly Siskind




Title: Stud

Author: Kelly Siskind
Genre: Romantic Comedy 
Release Date: January 31, 2018
















A down-to-earth carpenter. A Prada loving personal shopper.
A Habitat for Humanity project that erects more than walls…

The word “nail” has so many meanings:

Ainsley Hall’s manicured nails belong in the Museum of Modern Art.
The fashionista hammers nails at Habitat for Humanity.
She desperately wants to nail Owen Phillips.

Unfortunately, she mistakenly thinks he’s gay.

Owen’s never-ending divorce has taken a turn from messy to downright vindictive. Yearning for the simpler things in life, like working with his hands, he joins a Habitat build. Turns out he also wants to work over Ainsley Hall…but the confusing bombshell flirts blatantly with other men.

When Ainsley discovers Owen’s true sexuality, their mutual attraction ignites, but he hasn’t shared the extent of his divorce drama. If he can’t disprove his ex’s false allegations, it will take more than hammers and nails (and nailing studs) to keep their walls from caving in.



Her gaze dipped down my body, slow and languid, soaking me in. Something in me twitched to life, like a phantom limb reminding me hot blood once pumped through my veins. All my veins. My groin got heavy, heat flushing my thighs. Because she looked at me.
I let that notion marinate and did my best to keep my brain on target. “If you plan on volunteering, show up at the construction site at 8:30 a.m. sharp. Nick will take you through the paces.”
“Will you be here?”
“Possibly.”
“Are you here every day?”
“Some.”
“Do you often answer questions with one word?”
“Depends.”
She tipped her head, those stunning eyes intent upon me. Suddenly, heading home for beers and pizza didn’t sound as appealing. I dug my boots deeper into the earth.
She swiped her tongue across her full bottom lip. “All right, tough guy. I’ll be here next week, volunteer ready, where you may or may not be, depending on if you do or do not decide to show up.”
Every word dripped with flirtatiousness, but I stayed quiet. The way I’d all but grunted at her so far, probably better to keep my mouth shut.
So we stood there—her waiting on me to speak, a skateboarder barreling down the road at our left. Me unsure why she was affecting me.
I missed being with a woman. Missed the slide of soft skin and wet mouths, and locking my girl in my arms for the night. But I’d sworn I’d do it right this time. Not rush in. Make sure I dated someone with depth and interests outside of making bank. Everything about this spitfire girl read narcissistic.
When our silence slipped into awkward, she fluttered her fingers in my face. “It’s been…interesting.”
I offered her a curt nod.
Chuckling to herself, she spun around, but her right heel wedged into the loose dirt. Those damn shoes were lethal. She sank an inch and teetered, but seemed to catch herself. Then her massive purse fell. The thick strap landed on her forearm, tipping the balance. She shot out her hand, struggling to stay upright.
I lunged for her, clasping her trim waist to hold her steady. And close. Too close. Not near enough for her to feel how I was thickening behind my zipper, but the air swelled. It dilated with feminine scents. Something sweet. Nice.
She smelled like chocolate.
My hands spanned her waist from behind, her curves above and below all woman. Hour glass, like a modern-day Marilyn Monroe. Jean Harlow. Mae West. Over the years, I’d watched every classic movie there was, wishing I could slip to a time when men danced and women sang and loyalty and love were valued over getting ahead. An old soul, my nana always said. Or a romantic. Or just plain trouble.

Now I had my hands on a dangerous beauty.













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

Ainsley really enjoys her job, but she hates what it represents. Personal shopping is fun, when she is buying suits for successful business men and not when she is buying presents for their mistresses. So she decides to make some changes (ya know...good karma and all that). 

When Ainsley shows up to inquire about volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, she meets Owen. He immediately puts Ainsley into the “spoiled rich girl” category and makes a terrible first impression. But despite the rocky start, they become friends. Owen quickly realizes that his assumptions about Ainsley were completely wrong. They each have their own reasons for volunteering. Reasons that put them on even ground. But Ainsley is convinced that Own is gay (her gaydar is very broken!) and she has no shot with him, despite the intense sexual tension that you could have cut with a knife. The two of them spending time together is both refreshing and sexually frustrating. (For them and me!) But also super fun to watch play out.

Every time I read one of Kelly’s books, I gain a new book boyfriend and Owen may be my favorite of all the Siskind men. *sigh* I looooooooooooved him. Kelly has this way of writing characters that make you think “Yes! I want that. I didn’t even know I wanted that quality in a man!” Owen is an old soul. He's a self professed nerd and is not afraid to admit it. He likes books. Old movies. And he knows how to dance!  His Nana taught him how to treat a lady and that results in some major swoon worthy moments. He is just the sweetest guy and if I could, I would Weird Science the crap out of him. And keep him for myself. Sorry everyone else!
