Imogen 

There is no way we can still love and cherish one and other.

When I married Theo Walsh, the rough, bearded townie who worked construction on my family’s summer house, I’d found my happily ever after.

That was before the fighting.
Before the jealousy.
Before the infertility.

We’ll be divorced long before death does us part.

But to secure my place in the family dynasty, there is just one more hoop I have to jump through. And I need him to do it.

Faking the marriage we once thrived in will gut me.
Especially with the secret I’m carrying.

Theo 

I would have sacrificed for her until the end of time.

My job.
My home.
My happiness.

I’d given it all up to marry her. That’s how much I loved Imogen Weston, the daughter to one of the world’s richest families.

From the day we met, I’d done nothing but try to live up to the man she expected to be with. And now, I was done.

Sure, I’d complete this one final ask of hers, even if it destroyed me.

But I’ve made her promise the one thing that might save me. She swore that after she got everything she ever wanted, she wouldn’t look back.

I made my wife vow to leave me forever.

5 Star Review: Work in Progress (Red Lipstick Coalition #3) by Staci Hart





I never thought my first kiss would be on my wedding day.

But here I stand, clutching a bouquet of pale pink roses behind the doors of a Las Vegas chapel, and at the end of the aisle is the absolute last man I imagined would be waiting for me.

Thomas Bane.

Bestselling author. Notorious bad boy. Savagely handsome, dark as sin, chiseled as stone. And somehow, my soon-to-be husband.

Marry him, and I’ll land my dream job. Save him, and I’ll walk away with everything I’ve ever wanted. All I have to do is remember it’s all for show. None of it is real, no matter how real it feels.

But first, I have to survive the kiss.

And with lips like his, I don’t stand a chance.

My Review

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

If you love the whole marriage of convenience trope, then this book is for you. We have super famous author Thomas trying to save his reputation and career and ridiculously shy and somewhat awkward blogger Amelia helping him accomplish that. Despite Amelia's shyness, she manages to compose herself when she first meets Thomas and tells him exactly what is wrong with his books. What starts out as a completely working relationship where Amelia is helping Thomas with his writing, turns into so much more after he puts his career in jeopardy.

Thomas had such an interesting back story. His TWIN brother is his manager and the two of them have carefully crafted a persona for the public. Amelia comes into his life and everything is turned upside down. She challenges him like no other person has done before and he loves that. Her being around him make him a better writer as well as a better person.

This book has the signature humor that Staci brings to her books, but it also brings the angst. And let me tell you...when the angst made the grand entrance, I was a mess. I felt EVERYTHING those characters were going through. It was rough for a little bit, but by the end I had unicorns and rainbows bursting out of my chest.

Every time I read one of Staci's stories, I am in awe of her talent. Her books always bring out emotions in me and I want to be friends with all of the characters. And don't even get me started on the next book...OMG! The little preview at the end had me saying "Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?" out loud. Thank god I was home alone. 










Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life -- a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can't forget that. She's also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She's been a wife, though she's certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She's also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she's been drinking whiskey.

From roots in Houston to a seven year stint in Southern California, Staci and her family ended up settling somewhere in between and equally north, in Denver. They are new enough that snow is still magical. When she's not writing, she's reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.

RELEASE DAY BLITZ, 5 STAR REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Pan (Neverland #1) by Gina Maxwell




✨ 💚 ✨ PAN, a Neverland Novel is LIVE!!! ✨ 💚 ✨

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Gina L. Maxwell, comes a brand-new series with a fresh twist on an old classic.




Once upon a time, in Neverland, North Carolina--I fell in love.

I was twelve when Peter first climbed up to my balcony.
Thirteen when I sneaked out to see him at the School for Lost Boys.

Seventeen when his touch made me fly,
And eighteen when his words made me cry.

We were magnetic, drawn to each other from that very first night, and what I thought would be forever. But when it came time for me to leave, he wouldn't come with, so I left town with a map for my future and a shattered heart.

Ten years later, I've returned to Neverland, hoping to find a man in place of the boy.

Peter was partially right, growing up is no fun. After quitting my fancy career that sucked the magic out of life, I'm now organizing the fundraiser of the year. In a move that could make or break the event and my new company, I've hired Peter, master mechanic and owner of LB Automotive, to help me pull this off--trusting him to rebuild a classic car for the auction that could help hundreds of foster kids in need.

I thought I was prepared, but the boy who refused to leave is now a man hell-bent on getting me to stay, and as sparks fly between us, that undeniable fire flares back to life, deeper and hotter than ever.

But that ripped body doesn't mean Peter's matured enough to make us or this event work, and not everyone in Neverland is happy about my return.

Not every wound heals.
Not every heart can be fixed.
Not every boy grows up.

And after all this time, the love we found might be lost to us again...this time, forever.

*Pan is an adult contemporary romance retelling of Peter Pan, complete with Wendy, Hook, Tink, and all the Lost Boys. There are no fantasy elements in this world, other than the "magic" that happens between the sheets.*

My Review

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

As soon as Gina announced this series, I got really excited. I loved the idea of taking a classic fairy tale and putting a modern spin on it. Then I received my ARC and I could not put it down! I think I read about 60% of it in one sitting and I begrudgingly stopped because I had to do "adult". Seriously y'all. This book is so dang good!

The story takes place in the present, but we get flashbacks to learn how Peter and Wendy's relationship developed over the years. From the moment they meet, Peter and Wendy know that they are supposed to be in each other's lives. He is already the sort of (nice) father figure for the Lost Boys and knows that Wendy can be the mother figure they've always wanted. Even years later, when they are all grown up, they still take on those roles, especially Peter. 

I loved everything about this book. Peter was downright swoonworthy and I loved him so much! Wendy, while still very proper, had a bit of a wild and sassy side to her that paired perfectly with Peter. In the present they have been separated for some time, but it doesn't take long for their relationship to get back to where it once was. 

I am so excited to read the rest of this series. I didn't meet a character that I didn't like, except for the ones I was supposed to not like. Gina has created this amazing Neverland world, that I want more of. Like now. In this book she has brilliantly set up both Tink and Hook's stories and I  am dying to read them!

Chapter 1
Theo

I slept with my wife on our first date.

I’m not revealing this to brag or boast, or for you to infer anything from either of our personalities. It was just the simple fact that I knew from that first chance meeting, deep in my bones, that she would be the woman I’d spend the rest of my life with.

Honestly, I was never the kind of guy to get naked with a woman that quickly. If I were going for romance, which in Imogen Weston’s, the future Imogen Walsh, case I should have been … I would have laid out the red carpet. Flowers, picnics on the beach, candles, and gazing at the stars … my definition of dating was something out of a Nicholas Sparks’ novel. It’s just how you did things if you wanted to impress a woman.

RELEASE DAY BLITZ: We Shouldn't by Vi Keeland





A Standalone Contemporary Romance
by 
#1 New York Times Bestselling Author Vi Keeland 



Bennett Fox walked into my life on one hell of a crappy Monday morning.

I was late for the first day at my new job—a job I’d now have to compete for even though I’d already worked eight years to earn it, because of an unexpected merger.

While I lugged my belongings up to my new office, a meter maid wrote me a parking summons.

She’d ticketed a long line of cars—except for the Audi parked in front of me, which happened to be the same make and model as mine.

Annoyed, I decided to regift my ticket to the car that had evaded a fine.  Chances were, the owner would pay it and be none the wiser.

Except, I accidentally broke the windshield wiper while slipping the ticket onto the car’s window.

Seriously, my day couldn’t get any worse.
 
Things started to perk up when I ran into a gorgeous man in the elevator.  We had one of those brief moments that only happened in movies.
 
You know the deal…your body lights up, fireworks go off, and the air around you crackles with electricity. 

His heated stare left me flushed when I stepped off the elevator. 

Maybe things here wouldn’t be so bad after all. 

Or so I thought.

Until I walked into my new boss’s office and met my competition.

The gorgeous man from the elevator was now my nemesis. His heated stare wasn’t because of any mutual attraction.  It was because he’d seen me vandalize his car. And now he couldn’t wait to annihilate his rival.

There’s a fine line between love and hate—and we shouldn’t cross it.
