4 STAR REVIEW: Come Back for Me by Corinne Michaels




From New York Times Bestselling author Corinne Michaels comes a new emotional and riveting standalone love story.

One night, eight years ago, she gave me peace.
No names.
No promises.
Just two broken people, desperate to quiet their pain and grief.

In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania.

When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget.

And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen.

Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right. Because when long-ago secrets are exposed, rocking us both to the core, I have no choice but to watch her walk away again. . .

My Review

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

CW: physical and emotional abuse

I always love the start of a new series. You never know what you are going to get and I am happy to say that Corinne is giving us a wonderful new series. The Arrowood brothers a quite the bunch and in this book we are introduced to the youngest one, Connor. 

Connor has been discharged from the military and has returned to his childhood home for what he thinks is the last time. But the brothers are hit with an unexpected curve ball and Connor finds himself having to stick around. When he comes face to face with an adorable child, who is hiding in his tree house, Connor is thrown an even bigger curve ball that he did not see coming. 

Ellie is living a nightmare. Her husband is a monster and she is just taking things day by day. When Connor shows back up, his timing couldn't be any better and Ellie has some decisions to make as well as lots of questions to answer. The fact that she is raising a child make things more complicated. But Connor wants to help uncomplicate things. 

Ellie and Conner may have only shared one night, but the two have not forgot about the other person. So the fact that they are now neighbors is something they cannot ignore. I loved them together. Connor couldn't have been more understanding of Ellie's situation and that was exactly what she needed. 

I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. We see his brothers throughout the book and the next book is setup quite well. I'm ready for more Arrowood brothers!

COVER REVEAL: Boss Man Bridegroom by Meghan Quinn

BOSS MAN BRIDEGROOM COVER REVEAL!!

 


"Will you do me the greatest honor of all time and be my bridegroom?” she asks, hope in her eyes . . .


How did I get here? My assistant, bent on one knee, holding my hand, her expectant face waiting for an answer.

Just . . . how?

How did I go from being insulted by Charlee Cox to hiring her to be my assistant? How is it that she’s chaos in color - making me crazy and my life better at the same time?

I never thought I would be staring down at her bright blue eyes begging me to go along with this ridiculous scheme I suggested.

Yes, I suggested. Like the idiot I am, I thought hey, why not start an HR nightmare and have my assistant ask me to marry her?

Confused? Don’t worry, so am I.

But try to follow along, because this is how I became Boss Man Bridegroom.

5 Star Review: Dangerous Games by T.K. Leigh


Asher York.
Talented musician.
The voice of an angel.
The body of an Adonis.
And the man I happened to have a one-night stand with in Vegas.

No big deal, right? What happens in Vegas… Well, you know how the saying goes.

Did I mention I was once engaged to Asher’s brother?

I walked away, hoping my momentary lack of judgment would stay in the past.

I should have known it wouldn’t. Not with my luck.

Now Asher York is back in my life, and that flame I hoped would flicker and die still burns brightly.

But can I put my heart on the line, knowing this man has the power to obliterate it?
Can I allow myself to come between two brothers?

There’s only one way to find out.

Let the games begin…

Dangerous Games is a standalone forbidden relationship, second chance romance, with a rockstar twist. Grab your copy today.

My Review

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

TK has been teasing us with his and Izzy's story for a while now and in this book we finally get the story we have been waiting for!

*sigh*

Asher. Oh Asher Asher Asher. I loved him so much! He's been holding on to his love for Izzy for a VERY long time and when they were in Vegas he was given a little taste of how wonderful things could be between them. But then they were interrupted and Izzy walked away with a second glance. 

Now it's a year later and the two of them haven't seen each other since Vegas. But when Jessie (Izzy's ex and Asher's brother!) comes to Izzy and asks for her help, she finds herself face to face with the guy that she can't seem to forget. 

 There's no denying that Izzy and Asher have amazing chemistry, but there is a lot of history between them and a resolution to their feelings does not come easily. When they are alone and in their own little world, Izzy and Asher are just two best friends who also happen to be in love (even if they don't realize it). But once they are faced with the real world, too many things are in the way. It's up to them, especially Izzy, to decide not only what they want, but what the need. 

Whew. The angst in this book. The angst is VERY high and you will feel all of it. So be prepared!

RELEASE BLITZ, 4 1/2 STAR REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: The Trouble with Gravity by K.K. Allen




Title: The Trouble with Gravity
A Standalone Enemies to Lovers Romance
Series: Gravity #3
Author: K.K. Allen
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 2, 2020



Blurb

From USA Today bestselling and award-winning author K.K. Allen comes a steamy enemies-to-lovers standalone romance.

Kai’s life is a series of choreographed steps, each one shielding her from the tragic memories of her past. Audition, dance, paycheck, repeat. It’s a broken record, but it’s what keeps her world spinning.
When a tall, mysterious stranger zooms into her life wielding his Aussie accent like it’s a weapon and effectively shattering her tightly woven cocoon, her safe and secure world quickly begins to unravel.

Sebastian’s theater production is a sinking ship. To add insult to injury he’s obligated to give it one final run.
The mission is simple—salvage what he can before they all go down with the wreckage.
But first he needs to convince the woman who despises him, despite her darkest fears, to join the cast.

Without her, his past will undoubtedly destroy his future. But with her... he may be opening himself up to more of a challenge than he bargained for.

My Review

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

Kai and Sebastian are so wonderful! Their initial meeting was anything but friendly (I love when that happens!) and the two of them working together wasn't on either of their radars. So of course when they do end up working together, it makes the whole situation much more interesting. They have this whole love/semi hate thing going on that was really just a form of foreplay. Fantastic foreplay. 

Since they do end up working so closely, Kai and Sebastian some to an understanding: they'll help each other. Kai has some things from her past that she needs to conquer and Sebastian needs to come up with his next big hit. Turns out the two of them working together is basically magic. Kai inspires Sebastian on a level that he has never experienced and Sebastian calms Kai in the best way possible. To put it simply, these two were made for each other. 

When I traveled home for Christmas I had a couple hours of uninterrupted reading time and it was the perfect time to read this book. I devoured it! Their relationship captured my heart and didn't want to put the book down without knowing they would get their happily ever after.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEWS: A Cowboy Never Quits (Turn Around Ranch #1) by Cindi Madsen

  

These hardworking cowboys give everyone a second chance...
When single mom Jessica Cook is at the end of her rope, she takes her 16-year-old daughter to Turn Around Ranch. The ranch has a great reputation for teen therapy, and Jessica prays there's room there for her and Chloe.

Wade Dawson's first priority is to keep the ranch afloat to help teens and their families. But he can't seem to keep his boundaries when it comes to Jessica—she's talked her way into a job on the ranch so she can stay near her daughter and her tenacity and courage are truly impressive. Not to mention she's a natural beauty and sparks fly whenever he's in her vicinity.

But as one crisis after another befalls the ranch, Wade is going to have to decide whether he can afford to let a woman get under his skin...










My Review

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

This book being described as "Gilmore Girls Meets Cowboys" is a perfect way to describe this book. Jessica and Chloe's life is similar in some ways to Lorelai and Rory, but it's the differences that bring them to Turn Around Ranch. Jessica is determined that her daughter not follow the same path that she took and she sees this ranch as her last resort. Jessica has to do some fast talking and takes a job she might not be qualified for, but she will do just about anything for her daughter. 

This was such a sweet read. Wade is all about being the strict, somewhat grumpy cowboy, but he couldn't help but fall for Jessica. And of course once she gets past the grumpy version of Wade, Jessica is right there with him. There is even a nice storyline between Chloe and one of Wade's brothers which was a bit of a surprise, but totally welcome. 

But for me, the real story in his book is the relationship between mother and daughter. Jessica and Chloe are very close and as I mentioned before, Jessica would do just about anything for her. While at the ranch, they both learned some life lessons and became even closer, which is saying a lot considering how close they were to being with. I enjoyed their witty banter, a la Lorelai and Rory, and I was definitely rooting for them to work things out. 

The concept of family is something that is not only talked about in this book, but it is shown many times through the characters actions. I have no doubt that it is something that will keep showing up in subsequent books. I really look forward to reading the rest of this series.
