RELEASE BLITZ: Rebel Roommate by Jeannine Colette & Lauren Runow

 


NOW AVAILABLE

𝐑𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐥 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 is LIVE! If you love brothers-best-friend romances this is definitely the one for you!




Once again Colette and Runow created a masterpiece. Their characters were incredibly relatable, the plot was engaging, and the writing was on point. I highly recommend Rebel Roommate. You don't want to miss this! ” - Goodreads Reviewer




Growing up, I had one rule: stay away from my brother’s best friend.


It was easy to follow. I spent my years avoiding the boys on the baseball team, studying hard, and saving every dime I could. When I was accepted to transfer into UC Berkeley, I need a place to live, and my brother had a free room off-campus.


Win-win, right? Except, that best friend I was determined to stay away from is now my new roommate.


My very naughty, very rebellious roommate, Wesley Knight.


The boy who was once the bane of my existence with his constant teasing is now a drop-dead gorgeous athlete. He’s the life of the party, but I can’t have fun. According to Wes, no guys are allowed to talk to me. 


Well, two can play at this game. If I can’t date, then neither can he.


It starts off as innocent fun. Some half-naked yoga, or a little flirting; until an interrupted moment of self-gratification turns things dangerous … for my body and my heart.


Living with my brother and his best friend has me breaking all the rules. I just have to decide if the consequences are worth the reward.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: The Strike Out by Meghan Quinn





It started with one night out with the boys.

She was the hot diner waitress putting herself through school.
I was the rich, arrogant player everyone misjudges.

On paper we didn’t match.

Yet all it took was one day. One single day to change her mind.

She wasn’t planning to spend her day off with me.
She wasn’t supposed to fall for my charm.
But one day, one smile, turned into several nights of her calling out my name.

I’m not the guy she should end up with. I’m jealous, possessive. Not here for a long time - just a good time.

She’s changed me.

But, for some reason, I feel her slipping through my fingers and no matter what I do, I fear I’m going to strike out with the one and only girl I’ve ever fallen for.

My Review

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

So when I first started reading this book I was like "Whoa. I'm having deja vu. Have I read this book before?" So I read a little more and was like "Oh yeah I've definitely read this before." If you don't know, this book started as a short story in the Team Player 2 anthology. I remember being intrigued by this couple and to be honest I forgot about them, but when I realized who they were, I got really excited!

Meghan loves to give us a new book boyfriend with every book she writes and this is no exception. I loved Holt's persistence in pursuing Harmony and I loved how sassy Harmony was. She was wary of Holt because he was an athlete, but he quickly made a point of showing her she was wrong about him. From there their relationship progresses quickly, but when ya know, ya know. This book a wonderful continuation of the short story and well worth the wait!

This book is also great because we kind of "go back to the beginning" and get some page time with our favorite baseball boys! That is always a treat and a plus in my book.

RELEASE BLITZ & 4 STAR: Stay for Me (The Arrowood Brothers #4) by Corinne Michaels



Hollywood taught me everything I know about relationships—except how to be in one. As an actor, I became an expert at faking it. Faking that I wasn't affected by my childhood. Faking that I was okay. Faking that I knew how to save the day, the girl, the whole damn world.

But I've always known the truth—I’m no one's hero.

Until I’m forced to move back to Sugarloaf for six months, and Brenna Allen offers me a chance to prove otherwise. She’s everything I never knew I wanted, but can't have. Her broken heart, perfect face, and adorable children turn my world upside down. Instead of preparing for my next leading role, I’m directing a middle school play.

All to make her smile.

The more time I spend here, the more I want to stay. Build a life in this town that I swore I’d leave—for her.

But when the world comes crashing down around us, I’m forced to decide if staying for her is the right choice or if leaving is better for the woman I love.

My Review

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

I've been waiting for Jacob's book and I was not disappointed! He's the last Arrowood boy to come home and like his brothers before him, he thinks that he will serve his six months and move on. But if you've read the previous books, you will know that that is not how things played out for his brothers. Of course he thinks he will be the exception, but then he meets Brenna. 

I loved Jacob and Brenna. They both know that getting involved was a terrible idea, but they also realized that being just friends was impossible. They stayed "just friends" as long as they could until they just couldn't do it anymore. 

My favorite thing about this book was that we finally had all the Arrowood boys in one place at the same time and it was wonderful. I loved the relationship between all of them, especially when they are teasing each other. As soon as they all realize that Jacob is going through what they all went through, they're supportive, but they also tell him that he needs to be careful considering Brenna's recent personal loss. Nothing like some brotherly love to help him through things. 

This book is a great ending to the series, but we do meet a character who will be getting her own book! I won't say anything else, but an important even that occurs in this book makes way for a future Corinne Michaels' book and I can't wait to read it!

I haven't seen her in three years.

I haven't talked to her since the kiss.

So why am I on a plane, flying across the world to spend a week with her in Germany?

One word: Pops.

My life’s a mess.

My possible football career is hanging on by a thread.

I'm driving the roads of Germany in honor of Pops with the one girl I can never have.

And I’m sharing a bed with her, the girl I've measured everyone else up to, while desperately trying to not to touch her.

We made a pact growing up, never to get romantic with each other - never fall in love.

And I'm about to break that pact. For good.

My Review

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

This is more like it! Meghan's last release wasn't my cup of tea and that was the first time that has happened, so I was ready to jump into another Meghan Quinn book.

This book is FANTASTIC. I am a sucker for a friends to lovers story and this one was so good. Crew and Hazel were childhood friends who, as they got older, grew apart, but they still had one thing in common: Crew's grandfather. And when he passes away and sends Hazel and Crew on a road trip, they them find themselves on a trip of a lifetime in Germany. 

Having said that, Germany was basically another character in the book. The trip they go on was very carefully planned and every stop and activity had meaning. It wasn't always obvious to Crew and Hazel what that meaning was, but it was always there. 

This book is very fun, but it is also an emotional journey that will give you all the feels. And we also get to visit with some of Meghan's previous characters and it was so nice to see them again.

My Review

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

CW: addiction, on page drug use, death of a loved one, two instances of physical violence

This is an excellent book, but a hard one to read. An excellent book that I actually had to put down for a few days before I could pick it up and start reading again. 2020 has been a giant trash fire and and I've tried to read mostly all happy books. When I started this book I knew that at some point it was get complicated and a bit dark, but it wasn't until I started to get to that point that I knew I had to step back until I was mentally ready for it. I even had the thought that maybe I wasn't going to finish it, but I'm glad that I did. 

A lot happens in this book and I won't unpack everything that happens, but I will say this: Vinny and Andy were a mess from the start. They were both dealing with things in their lives in unhealthy ways and I knew that eventually it would all come to a head. I do admit that I was a bit shocked as to how it all played out, so props to the author for keeping me on my toes.  

I said in a previous review, that when you read a Kelsey Kingsley book, you get much more than a love story. She manages to go beyond the surface story and gives us so much more. This book is no exception.
