RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Fair Catch by Kandi Steiner



 



I thought being the only girl on a college football team would be my biggest problem... until I find out my brother's best friend is my new roommate. 

Fair Catch by Kandi Steiner is now live! 


As if things aren't already tough enough as the only girl on a college football team, Coach had to go and assign Zeke Collins as my roommate.

A cocky kick returner and my brother's best friend who should have been ripped of that title years ago, he's as infuriating as he is undeniably sexy.

I hate him, and for good reason -- reason I won't ever let him forget.

He thinks because we grew up together that it's his role to protect me, but all he does is get in my way, make me look weak, and piss me off more.

I tell him I can handle myself, and I'm hell-bent on getting that point across to him and the rest of the nation watching the only girl in collegiate football.

The pressure doesn't get to me. The scrutiny? I'm ready for.

But sharing very thin walls with Zeke Collins? I wasn't prepared for that.

And the more we're forced together, the harder it is to distinguish that pencil-thin line between hating him... and wanting him.

My Review

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

First things first....I freaking love everything about this cover! I love the colors and the mood it gives off. It fits the book perfectly!

Secondly....a female college football player! Yes! I'm sure there are other books with the same hook, but I am not aware of them. I loved it! 

Now for the rest of the book...Riley hates Zeke because of an accident that led to her brother (the one who originally had all the football aspirations) being paralyzed. It doesn't matter that they have been friends for years and her brother has forgiven him, Riley refuses. But when they become college teammates, things start to change. A lot. 

Riley, being the only female on the team, definitely has some obstacles to overcome. Most of her teammates are okay, but there is always one jerk who thinks she shouldn't be there. And Riley can hold her own, but that doesn't mean that Zeke doesn't have her back. 

I really enjoyed this book. There was a lot of love/hate feelings between Riley and Zeke and I was just waiting for things to boil over. And when they do....*chef's kiss*. It's also a bit angsty, which I always enjoy. If you are fan of Kandi's books, this is definitely a must read.

When Kandi isn't writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, planning her next adventure, or pole dancing (yes, you read that right). She enjoys live music, traveling, playing with her fur babies and soaking up the sweetness of life.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: You Keep Breaking Us (Prospect Street #3) by Carrie Aarons





We were the ultimate example of that couple who can’t live with each other, but can’t seem to function without each other.

The minute I met Callum Strass at fifteen, I was a goner. We were the golden couple of our high school. The king and queen of prom, the sweethearts voted most likely to get married and have babies, and the absolute idiots who decided to attend the same college.

Because that’s when it all fell apart. The naïve, puppy love versions of ourselves couldn’t see the obvious cracks we’d had back in our hometown. But they sure revealed themselves when we started living in an off-campus house together with four of our other friends.

Within a semester, blow-out fights, jealousy, every-other-week breakups, and my abandonment issues had him bowing out. Not just on me, but on the house, too. Until our senior year, when his parents refuse to keep paying rent on two places.

So he moves back in, and I’m forced to live with my ex. The one who has ruined all other men for me. The one I still cry myself to sleep at night thinking about. The one who confesses, during a run-in in a dark hallway, that he hates how much he still loves me.

And when he starts dating again, he might as well plunge a knife straight through my heart. Despite our breakup, I’m on the verge of losing him for real this time, and possibly forever. The only option is to seek help for my deep-seated trauma, the thing that Callum always encouraged me to see someone about. The thing that eventually pushed him away.

Put two of the most driven, headstrong, and passionate people in any relationship and it’s bound to combust. We’ve always had that twin flame kind of love.

So, together we might burn. But we also might heal.





My Review

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

While this book is NA, it definitely gives off a lot of marriage in trouble vibes. Bevan and Callum have been together for years, but when their relationship is broken beyond repair, they part ways. It obvious that they are still in love, but when they are together, they just don't work anymore. Callum moves out of the house he shares with Bevan and his other friends, but he finds himself back there when he can't find a replacement roommate. 

This book is about two people trying to find their way back to each other. It was frustrating at times and I wanted to reach into my book and shake the heck out of both of them. Again, think marriage in trouble, but with college students. Bevan has issues within herself that she needs to address and Callum has to get a new perspective of their relationship in order to see that they are both to blame for it's demise. 

Once I was able to sit down, with no interruptions, I got through this book pretty quickly. It's a great addition to the series and if you've read the other books, you should definitely read this one. 

 


About the Author

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 & REVIEW: On the Honey Side by Staci Hart



On the Honey Side by Staci Hart, a brand new grump sunshine, rom-com, is available NOW! This new release is the perfect weekend binge. Grab your copy today, available now on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited!


"On the Honey Side is as heartwarming as it is hilarious. It blends the humor of matchmaking with the heat of a slow burn for a cocktail I can't resist and will beg for time and time again. Sweet, touching, and subtly steamy, it was the perfect romantic comedy to get lost in at the end of a hectic day. An easy five-star and must read of 2022!" - bestselling author Kandi Steiner

 


No one can ever have Keaton Meyer.

Least of all me.

The brooding construction manager is a man of myth and legend, rarely seen in the wild. Once upon a time, he was the star quarterback, the smiling homecoming king, royalty in our small town. Until tragedy struck. And then he disappeared completely.

Now he’s resurfaced, and I can’t keep my eyes off him.
He’s an island surrounded by lava, bound by a desert and guarded by dragons. I don’t stand a sunshine’s chance in a hail storm.

Our siblings disagree and are out to prove it, nudging us into each other in the hopes we’ll fall. But with our town in tumult and the two of us firmly in the middle, nothing between us is easy. And when he’s faced with an impossible decision, I learn the truth of what I already knew.

No one can have Keaton Meyer.

And I have the broken heart to prove it.

 





My Review

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

I am sucker for the "I don't think I deserve love, but now I've met you and I am questioning everything" trope. And in this book we get TWO characters who subscribe to this. Sure, one feels this more than the other, but it's still wonderful. 

Daisy and Keaton are wonderful together. She's sunshine. He's grumpy. It's just...*chef's kiss*. Thanks to both of their families' meddling, Daisy and Keaton find themselves thrown into situations where it's just the two of them. They decide that being friends is probably the best thing to do. But we all know how that usually goes. 

I really do love the Blum family and all the good people of Lindenbach. And I say the "good" people for a reason. This book tackles some heavy topics and I loved the way the town came together to make things right. I just get the warm and fuzzies when when read Staci's books. It makes me want to go to these non existent places and befriend everyone.




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.
