RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Over the Moon by KK Allen

Release Date: April 22

“My secrets have always kept me safe… until he saw my truth.”

 

Kingston Scott is the most eligible bachelor in professional football, a charming rebel on and off the field. He’s also in desperate need of an attitude adjustment.

 

After a reckless night on the town puts him behind bars, he’s sentenced to coach football at a sleepaway camp in the middle of nowhere. He’s not sure he’ll survive an entire month of torture… until he sees her. The intoxicating woman with the silver moon eyes, the reserved smile, and the past she’s determined to keep hidden.

 

Silver Livingston is the resident nurse at Camp Dakota, a beautiful temptress on and off the clock. She’s also a forbidden mystery to all who know her.

 

After a decade of living in the shadows of the safe haven she’s created, she receives news that threatens her perfect façade. Silver isn’t sure what to do next… and then she sees him. The new arrival with the body of a god, a flashy smile, and evergreen eyes that burn straight through to her core.

 

Now, Silver isn’t sure which threat to fear most—the irresistible man she knows she must deny or the inevitable head-on collision with her past.

My Review

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

I really do love the whole "I know you are famous (in this case an athlete), but that doesn't impress me because I have no idea who you are" trope. I love it so much because usually a character really has to work on winning the other person over. And that is exactly what King has to do with Silver. 

Silver is just fine living her life at Camp Dakota. She has a job she loves, wonderful friends and her own little slice of heaven. King showing up almost immediately throws a wrinkle in all of that and while she thinks she is immune to his charms, of course she isn't. 

I enjoyed seeing how their relationship evolved throughout the book. King wasn't a bad guy, he just needed to be knocked down a few pegs and his time at Camp Dakota was perfect for that. 

Throughout the book, both King and Silver, but mostly Silver, had to make some big decisions about their lives. The secondary story line was Silver's and it was a doozy! Luckily she had King to lean on because it was....well it was a lot. 

This is a sweet book filled with a lot of quiet moments that made me feel all warm and fuzzy. And if you are a fan of KK's you will even recognize some familiar faces.

4 STAR REVIEW: Earn Your Extra Credit by Meghan Quinn

"She went home with someone else that night?"

Hearing the disbelief from my best friend's mouth makes the events of my failed date sting that much more.

I would like to make it known, I have a lot more swagger than what it seems. I don't normally ask a girl out, have her fail to recognize it's a date, and then give me a high five--as if I'm her wingman--and take off with someone else.

No. Normally I'm the one taking the girl home but with Stella, it's been one failed attempt after another and frankly, I'm done trying.

But thanks to my best friend getting married in Hawaii right before the school year starts, I'm stuck on a tropical island, watching Stella parade around in what she claims is a bathing suit.

Unfortunately, that's not the worst of it, just the tip of the iceberg. Because what I think is going to be a relaxing vacation, avoiding the one girl I can't seem to make it work with, has turned into a spectacle of being recruited as Stella's doting fake fiancé so she can save face with an old "friend" from high school.

Now I'm navigating through purgatory while trying not to get turned on by the way she holds my hand or kisses my jaw. It's all fake, that's what I keep telling myself, even though it feels entirely too real.

My Review

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

Romeo is in love and unlike Shakespeare's Romeo, this is a case of unrequited love. And Stella couldn't be more in the dark about his feelings for her. But all that changes when they go to Hawaii for Arlo and Greer's wedding. And what follows is your typical Meghan Quinn romance. 

I can't remember that last time I read a book with the fake fiancé trope. I found this one a bit frustrating because Romeo and Stella were at odds for so much of the book, but these two had some wonderful (and really sexy) moments that saved it for me. 

I definitely enjoyed this book more than See Me After Class. As always, there were some very funny moments throughout the whole book. Meghan really knows how to bring the comedy, especially when it is needed the most. Romeo and Stella were frustrating at times, but when they were at their best, they were an amazing couple.

RELEASE & 4 1/2 STAR REVIEW: Check Swing (Callahan Family #3) by Carrie Aarons

Sinclair Callahan is a trust fund baby.

Born into one of the richest, most notorious families in the country, the black sheep title was stamped on him from an early age. While the rest of his relatives earn their keep at the top tier baseball team they’ve owned for generations, Sin prefers spending his time and money on booze, babes and bad decisions.

Until all three land him in a coma, fighting for his life.

One year later, with a sober chip in his hand, he arrives at spring training ready to turn it all around. But when he meets the only woman who doesn’t recognize just who he is, he can’t help omitting a few important details … like his last name. No stranger to charming women, Sin uses one of his old skillsets to kick off what is sure to be an epic hookup.

But when she shows up five months after their brief Florida fling with a secret that will topple his privileged world, he might just lose everything he’s worked so hard to rebuild. Including a real shot at love with the sassy redhead that he’s been too much of a coward to pursue.

Can he shoulder the responsibility he’s always shrugged off? Or will he balk at the real-life complications and strike out completely?

Francesca Kade is an independent goal-getter.

As one of the only female strength coaches in the league, she’s used to invading the boys’ club. After putting up with being passed over and not promoted for a number of seasons, she’s finally got her shot.

A consummate professional with blinders on, there is no way anything will screw up all she hopes to achieve. Well, except for maybe the new employee with eyes the color of ocean waves and a smirk that’s the definition of sin. When they catch fire in the southern heat, it’s almost impossible to put it out.

Until she finds out that he’s her boss’s boss’s boss.

Burned from the betrayal and panicking with a fresh secret of her own, Frankie is shocked when she lands her ultimate dream job. There is no way she’s turning it down. But when she bumps into Sinclair on day one, all of the old feelings and new problems come hurtling at her like a baseball to the face.

Will she ever be able to trust that he’ll put both her and his responsibilities before his vices? Or will their differences cost them the game?

My Review

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

Yes! It's finally Sinclair's turn! I love a good redemption story line and everything was set up perfectly for Sinclair's. He is finally taking his place in the Packton Pistons organization and this time he is ready for it. Sinclair wants to do a good job. He has been working on his sobriety and is trying his hardest to be successful. He's also been skating by on the fact that he is a Callahan and he knows he needs to stop doing that. Which is why when he meets Frankie, he doesn't tell her who he is. 

Frankie is great at her job and she finally has her chance to show people that. Since she doesn't know who Sinclair is, she doesn't have any problem agreeing to the no string attached sexual relationship that forms between the two of them. She gets to do the job that she loves and then spend her nights with a sexy guy in her bed. 

Seems simple enough, right? Of course not! 

I enjoyed liked Frankie and Sinclair as a couple. They had great chemistry and even though neither of them wanted a relationship, they just kind of fell into one. They felt at extremely at ease with the other person and being with one another just felt right.  

I liked that the book took a turn that made things complicated. That was when Sinclair really had to look at his life and figure out what he wanted. And Frankie, knowing that things could fall apart at any minute, had to be able to take the leap and hopefully get everything she ever wanted. 

This is definitely my favorite of the series!

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: The Wedding Game by Meghan Quinn

USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn’s latest bauble is the charming story of a crafting queen battling a jaded divorce lawyer on a wedding reality show.

Luna Rossi is a veritable crafting genius—she can bedazzle and bead so hard her Etsy site is one of the hottest in the world. So it’s only natural that Luna would convince her brother and his husband-to-be to compete on The Wedding Game, a “do-it-yourself” TV show, for the title of Top DIY Wedding Expert.

As a jaded divorce lawyer, Alec Baxter scoffs at weddings and romance. But when his recently engaged brother begs him to participate in The Wedding Game, Alec grudgingly picks up a glue gun and prepares for some family bonding.

Both fierce competitors, Luna and Alec clash on national TV as harsh words and glitter fly with abandon. But as they bicker over color swatches and mood boards, they find themselves fighting something else: their growing mutual attraction. While Luna is torn between family loyalty and her own feelings, Alec wonders if he might have been wrong about love and marriage all along…

My Review

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

Maybe it's the mood I've been in lately, but it took me a while to get into this book. I felt like it had two distinctive tones and I found the first one, a bit much. Almost all the characters felt a bit over the top, but then there's a point where that shifts and that is when I started to enjoy the book. And while I didn't hate any of the characters, it did take me a bit to warm up to some of them. 

Having said that, there were plenty of funny moments that made me laugh out loud. It wouldn't be a Meghan Quinn book without them! I will say that preferred Alec and Luna once they were together as opposed to them being at odds with one another. There were even some sweet, genuine and heartfelt moments as well. 

Although this was just an okay book for me, it might be the book for you.
