After a devastating accident crushed my dreams, I ended up back in my hometown teaching kindergarten. I was trying to make the best of it. That is, until the world I had to leave behind, showed up in my classroom in the form of a five-year-old little girl. Her father living the exact life I almost had.

Adam Jacobson is known as the bad boy of rock. While he and his band tour the world, they leave a trail of mayhem. What no one knows is behind the music is a caring, straightedge man with a secret — a daughter who the world is about to discover.

When they move to my small town, their secret is blown. He needs my help to keep her out of the media, and with each exchange we grow closer. Only problem is I need to stay away from the memories he ignites, and the temptations he brings my way.

Secrets I’ve kept and thoughts of that fatal night come crashing back into my life. I have to wonder if it was more than fate that brought his little girl into my classroom.

COVER REVEAL: The Complete Captive Heart Duet by Carrie Aarons




Designed by Mignon Mykel at Oh So Novel 


Charlotte never thought she’d be staring down the barrel of a gun when she walked into her thankless bank job. Especially one that is held by her childhood neighbor and the boy who broke her young heart, Tucker. And the last thing she expected was to become his hostage. What ensues is a story of heartbreak, recovery, passion, and prevailing through it all to save the love that still burns between them.

"Aarons takes a typical boy next door romance and turns it on its head. No flowers and sweet, swoon-worthy late night stolen kisses here. There is grit and suspense and a struggle to move forward; and Aarons does it flawlessly." -The Read Report




We knew each other a lifetime ago. And then...
We lost childhoods. We lost opportunities. We lost love.
Fate is giving us another chance. But a chance at what?
Because even though we’ve been brought back to each other under the worst of circumstances…
We are still. So. Damn. Lost.

 

We found each other where no else could.
Found a purpose. Found ourselves. Found love.
Again.
But then life got in the way.
Three years later and the people that we once were are nowhere to be found.
Can our love survive everything we've put it through?
Can we find a way back to each other...
Again?

COVER REVEAL: Forget the Stars Cover by Kelsey Kingsley


Title: Forget the Stars
Author: Kelsey Kingsley
Genre: Friends-to-lover/2nd Chance Romance
Release Date: August 26, 2019 Cover Design: Danny Manzella




Guitarist Chad Wilcox's life isn't going according to plan. 

At thirty, he never thought he'd still be unmarried and living with his parents. And with the added stress of his poor health, he's convinced the only thing within his control is the success he's found as a rockstar.

After reconnecting with his childhood best friend, Chad sets into motion a new plan to regain control over his happiness, and things start looking up. But when he finds himself diagnosed with a potentially debilitating chronic illness, he begins to wonder...

Is this as good as it's going to get? Or is it at all possible for a guy like him to get everything he's ever wished for?








“What’s that look for?” she asked with a giggle, as she reached around to secure her bra.

I shook my head as a smile stretched over my lips. “Nothin’. Just …” I swallowed at the warmth crowding my heart and my lungs. “You’re my best friend.”

She tugged a tank top on and sighed, her exhale lingering in the air. “You’re mine.”

Mine. The word was simple and yet held the world. It was an agreement, it was possession. It was an invisible contract that lingered between us, and I would’ve gladly used my own blood to sign on the dotted line.

But instead of pricking a finger and sealing the deal, I simply nodded, as only two words left my mouth.

“I’m yours.”

RELEASE BLITZ & 4 1/2 STAR REVIEW: Coming Up Roses (Bennet Brothers #1) by Staci Hart




Staci Hart is wowing readers with a new series I can't get enough of! Coming Up Roses is the first in the Bennet Brother's series, a spin off of the Austen Series! Prepare yourself for rom-com gold with the perfect dose of heartfelt longing and emotion! Don't miss out on this new release!




Coming Up Roses
Bennet Brothers #1
Staci Hart



Everyone hates parts of their job.

Maybe it’s the paperwork. Maybe it’s the day-to-day grind. Maybe it’s that client who never knows what they want, or the guy who always cooks fish in the microwave.

But not me. I love every corner of the Longbourne Flower Shop, every flower, every petal, every stem. I love the greenhouse, and I love Mrs. Bennet, my boss. I love creating, and I love being a florist. I don’t hate anything at all.

Except for Luke Bennet.

The Bennet brothers have come home to help their mom save the flower shop, and Luke is at the helm. His smile tells a tale of lust, loose and easy. He moves with the grace of a predator, feral and wild. A thing unbridled, without rules or constraint.

When he comes home to save Longbourne, I almost can’t be mad at him.

Almost.

He doesn’t remember that night I’ll never forget. That kiss, touched with whiskey and fire. It branded me like a red-hot iron. But it meant nothing to him.

Everyone hates part of their job, and I hate Luke Bennet.
Because if I don’t, I’ll fall in love with him.

My Review

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

Staci's world building ability is amazing and every time I start a new series of hers, it doesn't take long for me to fall in love with the characters. This time we are given the wonderful Bennet family. They own a flower shop that has been the family business for YEARS, but newer stores in the area have caused their business to struggle. So the whole Benet clan has come home to try to figure out how to save the family business. 

Tess has worked at Longbourne Flower Shop for years and can't imagine working anywhere else. So when a plan is hatched to save the shop, she is totally on board. Even if that means working with her nemesis, Luke Bennet. Tess has built this image of Luke in head since she was a teenager and has no desire to think anything else. Then Tess and Luke start to work together and all that changes. Turns out he is nothing like she thought and it becomes harder and harder to resist the Bennet charm. So much swoon inducing charm! Seriously y'all....Luke is amazing book boyfriend material. 

I love the fact that the majority of this book takes place in a flower shop. I love flowers and I don't think I've read a book in this setting. It allowed the author to paint these wonderful pictures that I wanted to see in real life! Now when I walk by a flower shop I can't help but think "Eh. That window display could be better."

I can't wait to read the rest of this series! We are introduced to the rest of the Bennet clan in this book and I am so intrigued by them all. They all couldn't be more different and I'm sure their stories will be just as entertaining as Luke's. And there is also a secondary character in this book that, thanks to how things played out, I know will be around in future books. But I have to wonder if that character will become an even more important character in the future. Only time will tell!




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. When she's not writing, she's reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.
