RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: The Grump who Saved Christmas by Tracy Leigh

There’s a thin line between love and hate. And when we get snowed in with only one bed, we’re about to find out just how thin that line is.

When I first met Callum Reed, I thought he was one of the most handsome men I’d ever seen.

Until he opened his mouth and ruined it all.

Because the sexy-as-sin man dressed in a tailor-made suit is trying to steal my ranch from me.

Okay, technically, he’s trying to buy it from me, but I’d rather swallow a fruitcake whole than watch someone turn this beloved place into a bunch of timeshares for the rich, destroying Christmas at Holley Ridge.

The problem is that Callum Reed doesn’t give up easily, not when he stands to make millions off this property. So instead of walking away with his proverbial tail between his legs, he books a room at my inn for the Christmas season.

The last thing I need during this time of year is a modern-day Grinch staying here.

So I concoct a plan. Flood Callum with a tidal wave of holiday cheer, hoping he’ll flee in the face of too much festivity.

The last thing I expect is for him to actually enjoy himself.

Or volunteer to dress up as Santa for a group of foster kids.

Or help me in my last-ditch effort to save Holley Ridge.

As I start to get a glimpse beneath his gruff exterior, I can’t help but wonder if maybe there's more to Callum Reed than meets the eye.

My Review

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

If you were to take out all the spice in this book you would have a delightful holiday hallmark story. Now add the spice back in and you have an even better holiday story!

 
Callum wasnt the grumpiest character I've ever read, but he had some feelings about Christmas that definitely put him in the Grinch category. And Parker's idea to get him to leave Holley Ridge, which is basically to bombard him with Christmas, seems like a genius idea, but it course backfires in the most spectacular (and sexy) way.

Callum and Parker were adorable together and once Callum broke away from his bah humbug spirit, I couldn't help but love him. The author managed to include multiple tropes without slowing the story down and it just made the story really enjoyable. 

I love a small town romance and I liked this one a lot. All the side characters piqued my interest and I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.

RELEASE BLITZ & 5 STAR REVIEW: Royal Creed (Broken Crown #1) by T.K. Leigh

Title: Royal Creed

Series: Broken Crown Trilogy #1

Author: T.K. Leigh

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Tropes: Bodyguard/Royal Romance

Release Date: February 21, 2023

His princess. Her secret. Their forbidden love.

All my life, every decision has been made for me. What to say. How to dress. And now, who I'm to marry. When you're second in line to the throne, it's just how things are. I've always gone along with it.

Until now.

I may not have a say in who I marry, but I refuse to let someone dictate who I give my v-card to.

So I offer it to the only man I trust not to go to the paparazzi.

Creed Lawson.
Body of an Adonis.
Strength of a warrior.
And my brother's best friend.

It was only supposed to be one night. To the outside world, I'm supposed to be in love with someone else. And Creed's about to be sworn in as a member of the Royal Guard.

That doesn't stop us from fantasizing about what could be. About ignoring our duty and following our hearts.

But when the consequences of our secret tryst become much more dangerous than either of us originally bargained for, can I find the courage to fight for what I want? Or will I always remain a pawn in the palace's deadly game?

My Review

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

I love a good forbidden romance, no matter what the "forbidden" reason is. In this case, Esme is royalty and Creed is not. Seems pretty simple...or is it? 

Of course (of course!) things get complicated when Esme and Creed start their tryst. They do that thing where they promise to not fall in love with the other person, but any romance reader can tell you how that will turn out. I just loved them together. They were off the charts sexy and I could not get enough of them. 

TK is the Queen of cliffhangers! She is just so good at not only leaving you wanting more, but also leaving you the feeling of "WHAT JUST HAPPENED?" As I was reading, I thought I knew where things were headed, but because TK is an evil genius, I definitely did not. I finished this book while I was on a very crowded subway train and the words "Holy. Fucking. Shit." came out of my mouth. 

Now when does the next book come out?

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Obsession (Temptation Series #4) by TK Leigh

One week. No names. No expectations.

That was our agreement.

We were supposed to walk away after our time in Hawaii was over.

No matter what.

That was before…

Before I learned who she is.
Before I realized how interconnected our lives are.
Before I fell in love.

But our love isn’t the stuff fairy tales are made of.
Demons lurk around every corner.
Good doesn’t necessarily prevail over evil.
And the knight in shining armor may not save the day. Not if her murderous ex-husband has anything to do with it.

But Julia’s never been the type of girl who needs a knight in shining armor to save the day.
She’s the type of girl who will pick up her own sword and fight for what she believes in.

I just hope she’s finally learned to believe in herself.

My Review

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

If you are reading this, there is a really good chance that you have read the first three books in this series and are ready to read the conclusion. If not, stop reading and go back to the beginning. Trust me on this. 

Whew! What a ride! I knew that some very serious things were going to happen in this book, but I was not prepared for how things actually played out. I won't give too many details, but lets just say that I found myself holding my breath a few times because things go so intense. But the way everything played out...perfect. 

JULIA AND LACHLAN FOR EVER!!!!!!! Gahhh! All I wanted was for Julia to get her happily ever after and there were moments when I wasn't sure she would. But Lachlan is the ultimate book boyfriend and I just love him so much. <insert heart eye emoji>

And that epilogue! I can't wait to see what comes next. Also, I'm pretty sure T.K. is an evil genius. 

CW: This book is a lot more graphic that the previous three. There is description of murder and some pretty graphic descriptions of sexual violence.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Provocation (Temptation #3) by TK Leigh

One week. No names. No expectations.

That was our agreement. 

We were supposed to walk away once our time in Hawaii was over. 

No matter what.

But that was before I finally decided to take a risk and jump.

And that’s precisely what being involved with Lachlan Hale is… A risk.

Between the complications that go along with dating a celebrity and the real possibility that my ex-husband is still watching my every move, there are times I question whether it’s worth it. 

Whether I’m selfishly putting Lachlan’s life at risk, too.

But like he promised… We’ll get through it. Together.

Until the bottom drops in a way I never could have anticipated. 

Lines are drawn. 
Loyalties are tested.
And I’m stuck in the middle, engaged in a fierce battle between my head and my heart.

And there can only be one winner.

My Review

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

So in this book we get some more information as to what is happening. We were left a bomb in the second book and that's where this one picks up. It takes a little bit to get to the explanation of that bomb, but when it does...WOW. Throughout the book, the main story unfolds even more and just like the books before this one....CLIFFHANGER! The biggest one yet. 

Now Lachlan and Julia...UGH I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. Their relationships only strengthens over the course of this book and while they have their ups and downs, they truly do love each other. I also loved the relationship that Lachlan is forming with Julia's daughter, Imogene. I'm sure trust doesn't come easy to her, but the bond she forms with him is immediate and comes into play at a point in this books.

Now bring on the 4th and final book...I cannot wait to see what happens!

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Persuasion (Temptation #2) by TK Leigh

I came to Hawaii to get answers about my sister’s death.

But that all changes when I meet her.

Beautiful. Charming. Haunted.

And the last thing I need in my life.

But that doesn’t mean I can stay away from her, a powerful force pulling me toward her when all rationale tells me to keep my distance.

So we make an agreement.

One week. No names. No falling in love.

It’s the perfect plan.

Until a shocking revelation shakes my foundation to its core, leaving me to question everything I thought I knew about her.

I knew this temptation was a disaster waiting to happen.
I didn’t realize it would be so devastating.

My Review

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

Oooh boy. Now we are really getting into the meat of this book. This one picks up where the other left off and thankfully we get a bit of a resolution from that shocking revelation.

In this book we get a little more sexy stuff (Yay!) between Lachlan and Julia, but we also get more of the mystery that is starting to unfold. It's complex and I found myself trying to put all the pieces together and by the time I finished reading, I was completely shocked!

I can't even begin to explain how much I love Lachlan and Julia. I am such a fan of the older woman/younger man trope and this one is SO GOOD. The two of them are just perfect together and I just get the warm and fuzzies with how amazing they are. And something happens towards the end of this book that is just so good. 

Now we still have two more books to go, so I am sure that the author will have plenty of twists and turns for all involved and I can't wait to read them. Let's be honest....TK knows how to keep us readers on the edge of our seat and she leaves us wanting more. ESPECIALLY with how this book ended!

RELEASE BLITZ & 5 STAR REVIEW: Temptation (Temptation #1) by T.K. Leigh

It was supposed to be a typical business trip to Hawaii.

During the day, I’d promote the new location of my bakery. At night, I’d relax on the lanai while sipping a glass of wine.

But that all changes when I meet him.

Sexy. Intriguing. Haunted.

And easily fifteen years younger than me.

I should walk away. The last thing I need after turning forty is a middle-age crisis in the form of an Australian Adonis.

But something keeps drawing me back to him. 

So I make a proposition.

One week. No last names. No expectations.

It’s the perfect plan…

Until I learn the true identity of my vacation fling.

They say temptation can be dangerous.

I didn’t realize it could be so deadly.

My Review

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

I absolutely LOVE Julia and Lachlan! This is an older woman, younger man story and it's delicious! The two meet on the beach after Julia gets stung by a jelly fish. He gives here some tips on how to deal with the sting and they go their separate ways. 

Of course their paths cross again and that leads to a no strings attached, week of sexy times. They even give each other fake first names. Julia needs to let loose and Lachlan is more than willing to help her out. It takes a little time for her to get over the idea of hooking up with someone much younger than her, but once she does....WHEW! Their chemistry was off the charts, in and out of the bedroom. The two of them just connected on a level that surprised both of them. I just love them so much!

I am so happy that TK is giving us Julia's story! We met her in the Possession Duet (reading that isn't necessary to read this series, but it is definitely worth the read) and without giving anything away, I will say is that Julia definitely deserves a happily ever after. 

This book does end on a cliffhanger! So if that is not your thing, I would wait until the whole series is out. I cannot wait for the next installment!

5 Star Review: Tangled Games (Dating Games #5) by T.K. Leigh

Every girl dreams of becoming a princess.
But this is no fairy tale.

When I met Anderson North, I fell in love with the man, not the title. With his heart, not the crown.

But as I step foot in the Nation of Belmont for the first time as the Crown Prince’s fiancée, I’m reminded of exactly who he is outside of the bubble we built around ourselves.

I’m reminded of exactly who I’ll need to become if I’m to survive this tangled web of antiquated rules, constant media attention, and negative publicity from a country that hates the idea of an American marrying their future king.

This may be a life of privilege and excess, but I soon learn that with notoriety comes jealousy.
With fame comes enemies.
With a crown comes a gilded cage.

I’ve always dreamed of finding my happily ever after. I didn’t realize ours would come at a price.

My Review

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

I love everything about Anderson and Nora. I love how they met and fell in love. I love how they took a chance to be with the other person despite all the obstacles they faced in the first book. And now that Anderson has returned home, with Nora by his side, they are about to face even more obstacles. 

I will say that I found some things in this book to be a bit predictable, but I found it so well written and I was so invested in making sure that it all worked out that I just didn't care. Anderson and Nora may have had people around them that didn't approve of their relationship, but they had plenty who had their back (aka lots of familiar faces). And that is what makes the difference.

I had read quite a few books since I read Royal Games and I absolutely forgot some key plot points from that book. So imagine my surprise when these things came up and I was like "Oh that's right!!" I also went to bed one night thinking "I'll just read a few chapters" and then it was a couple hours later (aka way past my bedtime) and I had finished it. I just couldn't put it down. That's how good it is.
