Book Release Blitz for Bailout by MM Flynn (REVIEW)……

 It's a bumpy and unexpected journey to HEA in this gripping contemporary tale that picks up where the previous book in this series left readers.  Keep reading to get a tempting taste of the sports-fueled romance Bailout by MM Flynn, along with getting my impressions of this second installment in the Booker series, then add it to your bookshelf!

The instant connection that sparked in Booker continues in a way that no one expected...

This is the third time my life has fallen apart.

What I had pretended to be in the past is now banging on the door of my present.
After living so many different lives, each one is a more faded version of myself. Who am I now? Who do I want to be?
Does Sam feel my body desperately reaching for his?
I don’t know who I am if I don’t mean anything to Kat.
After Kat dropped a bomb on my life, I’m filling my time with parties and fake shit. I need something else to keep me going. Something that won’t make me think about her.
I’m somehow still tied to her. Like our connection is too tightly knotted to be unwound.
I will always, always crawl back to her. Wherever she is.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

After the truth bomb dropped at the end of the previous book, readers were left with their guts in a knot awaiting where things will go for Sam and Kat next.  This pair, whose connection once seemed unbreakable, have gone their separate ways at the start of this story.  Anger and fear are their new companions, wallowing in alcohol and partying, living amidst superficiality instead of meaningful substance.  Sam and Kat are clearly hurting here, and I hurt right alongside them, in a story that will take readers to the lowest of lows before putting them back on the road to healing.

With each turn of the page readers will find this is a heavy story, one teeming with angst, one that pulls you in from the very beginning.  Sam and Kat get put through the wringer here, weighed down by their pasts, while discovering new things about themselves on their journey of starting to heal.  This is NOT a standalone story, reading Booker is a necessity, as these two books make for a compelling dichotomy. The author pulls no punches in showing what Sam and Kat are going through, making this an occasionally difficult (but oh so rewarding) read.  There's a lot going on in this story, a lot is especially revealed regarding Kat, and I loved having the chance to get to know the real her and see her roll with the changes coming her way.  Sam and Kat's journey is one of patience, talking through things, along with forging a commitment.  Once they started listening to each other I truly felt hopeful for their future and was rooting for them as they slowly and steadily discovered a path to HEA.  Readers looking for an emotionally engaging tale will want to grab this one as it's a story worth all the tears!

My rating for this is an A-

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

There's a lot going on in this tale of sports, suspense, and second chances as the bad boy of hockey tries to find a place in his new world...a world he wants no part of and has let everyone know it.  Add in a strong-willed female who pushes the bad boy's boundaries, a female whose job puts her in grave danger, and readers will find themselves frantically turning the pages to see what happens next.

Since being traded to an expansion team in the recent hockey draft Briggs has been the character you love to hate.  He's not at all happy to be added to the roster of this young, losing, team and doesn't hesitate in letting everyone know it which makes him rather insufferable.  If he EVER wants to get back on the ice though he'll need to start making amends...starting with the one he let get away, Michella.  Until this book I found Briggs to be a somewhat one dimensional character when it came to his grumpiness as he went out of his way to be unlikable.  With each turn of the page though Briggs started digging his way out of the hole he dug for himself.  Readers get insight into why he's the way he is, seeing a softer and more caring side, while watching him earn his way back into Michella's (and his teammate's) life.  Michella and Briggs once had a relationship based on one night stands, but after deciding she needed more she walked away.  She recently found herself at a crossroads though, after ending an abusive relationship, and it's now led her to the perfect career and working for a PI.  Michella's a great heroine, one who knows her own self-worth, and she isn't afraid of demanding what she wants.  She's recently become involved in the hunt for a serial killer, one which has her needing Briggs more than ever, in a burgeoning romance full of suspense and sexual tension.

This is a fast-paced read, one that nicely balances heart pounding suspense with a second chance at romance for two people trying to find themselves.  The romance was satisfying while the mystery surrounding the serial killer kept me guessing until the end in a storyline cleverly woven throughout this story.  Along with an appealing heroine, I also enjoyed the glimpses of Briggs' teammates as they started rallying around him when he needed support the most.  Courtesy of a compelling ending I'm left excited for the future of this series, excited to see more of Trent and Remi especially, in a series that continues to entertain.

My rating for this is an A-

Jackson

They say nothing in life is promised, I know that now. When everything I've ever known imploded I made the impulsive decision to leave it all behind by moving to this small town where nobody knows my name.

They also say to expect the unexpected, and I just might like that more.

Alex

They say you can't have it all and I'm starting to think they're right. I have a thriving business and great friends- so why is it I've yet to find The One?

Something else they say? Good things come to those who wait - and I've been one hell of a patient man.

This is a standalone novella.

BUY AT AMAZON here.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

Readers looking for a little afternoon delight will get just that with this sweet tale of self-discovery and starting over in a small town.  When two men find themselves suddenly single after the end of their relationships, sparks soon start flying in the basement of a hardware store in an endearing meet-cute that put an immediate smile on my face. Amidst talk of nuts and bolts, both men discover mutual attraction that leaves both of them questioning their future in a straightforward talk that I truly appreciated.

Though this is a novella, making it a quick read, I still found their burgeoning romance satisfying.  Alex and Jackson are a very likable pair with interactions that were crackling and teeming with sexual tension.  Their scenes warmed my heart and were utterly charming as they navigated their new feelings.  On a whole I enjoyed their journey, but with a quickly rushed conclusion I'm left hoping that we see more of them in the future. The only other issue about this book revolved around the lack of editing.  For me it's not a big issue, but it did have me rereading some sentences to clear up confusing moments.  Despite that small quibble I definitely fell for Alex and Jackson, fell for their sweet small town personalities, and was rooting for them from start to finish...and by the turn of the final page you'll be rooting for them too!

My rating for this is a B-

Book Blitz for Morning Star by Kris Jayne (REVIEW & GIVEAWAY)…..

A sexy playa ends up needing a bride immediately if he wants to keep his money in this slow-burn romance that starts out fake before becoming all too real.  Keep reading to get a tempting taste of Morning Star by Kris Jayne, along with getting my impressions of it, then learn even more about this book by visiting the other sites hosting this tour.  In honor of this third installment in the Lone Star Crossed Saga make sure to fill out the form below for US readers to have the chance to win a signed, print set of the first three books in the series while International readers will get a digital bundle.

The marriage is fake, but the passion is real.

Famous for his last name, devilish Anthony Star-Hunter is the black sheep of the Star clan. He’s an expert at using his tall, dark, and handsome charm to get women into bed—the last remnant of his declining hard-party escapades.
But the bucks are about to stop here. His grandfather’s will demands he marry to inherit his fortune. Anthony panics. Even with his bad boy allure, how the hell is he going to find a tolerable bride, like, yesterday?
The minute Sarah Pennington spots the tattooed muscles her new stepsister’s ex hides under his Italian suits, she rolls her eyes. Anthony is not for her. And with her father maybe headed to prison for a financial fiasco, she’s had enough bad male behavior. She’s responsible. She’s hard-working. She…can’t stop having naughty dreams about the sexy “celebutant.”
At a beach-side wedding, a drunken mishap throws Sarah into Anthony’s bed, and he’s intrigued. Can he convince her to give fake marriage a chance? Can she convince herself to keep her heart out of the deal?
Their slow-burn, un-love affair isn’t what either expect, but it might be what both of them need forever.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

Not having read the previous books in the Lone Star Crossed Saga, I didn't know what to expect and was worried I'd feel lost.  Luckily that wasn't the case though as this second chance romance stood strongly on its own to give readers a likable main couple who have more to themselves than they show the world.  This is a slow burn romance that sees the two of them letting down their emotional walls in a fake relationship that becomes more and more real with each turn of the page.

Anthony comes from a family of money which has allowed him to enjoy his life to the fullest...with no thought for the future.  Learning of the stipulations in his grandfather's will though forces him to take a good hard look at himself and the man he's become as he's going to have to find a wife if he wants to keep his money.  So begins a sweet and sentimental journey of introspection that has readers seeing him in a whole new light.  Sarah is just the woman Anthony needs, so her coming back into his life is fortuitous when it comes to his inheritance.  Despite her better judgment she's always been attracted to Anthony.  With her life revolving around work and keeping her father out of jail though, she's tried to steer clear of him and the temptation he represents.  When he makes her a business offer she can't refuse, life takes an unexpected turn for the both of them in this slow-burn journey to HEA.

This is a true fairytale romance, one with not a lot of angst or true heartbreak.  This is a story of second chances and becoming the person you were meant to be by grabbing on to what's most important.  This is a heartwarming tale with a couple I was rooting for from start to finish.  Though their story has been told many times I still found it a satisfying tale with secondary characters who have me wanting to read the previous installments in this series!

My rating for this is a B+

Book Release Blitz for My Fair Thief by Delta James (GIVEAWAY)….

It's a romance of twists and turns for a jewel thief trying to defend her family's honor and the man determined to bring her to justice.  Keep reading to get a tempting taste of My Fair Thief by Delta James, then add it to your bookshelf.  In honor of this second installment in the Relentless Pursuit series make sure to fill out the form below for the chance to win a $25 Amazon GC too!

When the thief he is chasing becomes more than just a job, will the distraction be his undoing or her death sentence?

Claire Mitchell is a master jewel thief, who has a secret. Although the thrill of the heist is exciting there is a reason behind her choice of profession. Family honor above all else. It was the perfect plan…until he interfered.
Ryland Fletcher is the investigator determined to catch her. As he tracks Claire and gets to know her he finds there are more questions than answers. He doesn’t trust the beautiful thief in his bed but it doesn’t stop him from wanting her. The risk is life or death but the rewards are too great to resist.
What begins as a heist of the century turns into a game of cat and mouse. When their game of cat and mouse turns deadly it’s time to bring her in.

EXCERPT:

Looking at her was physically painful. He loved her so much and she seemed to be unable to make the choice he needed her to make. Was he going to lose her to this obsession she had? An obsession that only she and those to whom she gave over the pieces of stolen jewelry would ever know or care about.
Claire stopped at the doorway and turned back towards him. “How can you say that to me? How can you issue an ultimatum and think I won’t tell you to go fuck yourself?”
So that was her response. Not only wouldn’t she give up her Don Quixote-like quest, but she would also turn on him.
“Because I don’t know any other way to get through to you.”
“You know how much I loved my granda. You know what the Clarion meant to him and why I am determined to see this through. Can’t you just turn your back and let me finish?”
He really had hoped to avoid this confrontation standing in the middle of the cottage’s front lawn, in front of his team, but she seemed determined to have it out with him.
“Do I mean anything to you?” he asked. “Was any of it real? Or was I just a means to an end?”
She jerked her head back as if he’d physically struck her. He wanted to go forward, fold her in his arms, and tell her they’d find a way, but they were at a crossroads and Claire needed to decide which way she wanted to go.
“How can you say that to me? One minute you tell me you love me and the next you’re telling me I have to choose? Why is it me? Why can’t you be the one to choose between me and forcing me not to do something that you know is important to me?”
“Because I’m not the one breaking the law. I am on the right side of this, you aren’t.”
“Do you have any idea how much I love you? Do you know I’ve never said that to any man before? How can you not know how important you are to me?”
The instinct to soothe her fears was so strong. He needed her to be strong enough to choose him.
“If I’m that important to you, you’ll abandon this deadly mission of yours.”
She recoiled from him and turned back to the cottage. “I want you and your men off my property tonight.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

As a first time reader of this dynamic duo I found much to like about this baseball-fueled romance of opposites who find a deep connection once they look below the surface of what the world sees.  From the steamy interactions between Mack and Greer to a storyline teeming with suspense that kept me on the edge of my seat (and guessing until the very end), I found myself quickly turning the pages to see which of my emotions were going to be played with next.  Though much about this story has a familiar feel, it's still well-crafted with a likable main couple who slowly become just what the other needs to make this a good addition to the New Orleans Revelers series.

Fall head over heels for this binge-worthy read of two hearts who have always been destined to come together…even after ten years of being apart.

*****************
We were both orphans.
While Johnny Moore was the product of alcohol and bad decisions, he never let his family define him. And me? Well, let’s just say that my mother’s unwanted pregnancy almost destroyed her family name and leaving me behind was the best decision she ever made.
Johnny and I made a pact all those years ago—never leave. Two simple words that always gave me hope. Something solid to lean on when things got tough.
But I guess promises are meant to be broken. The memory of Johnny walking away on his eighteenth birthday will forever be burned into my heart like a brand.
Ten years of forgetting him. Ten long years of forging my own path and trying to make my dreams come true…without him.
Nothing could have prepared me for the series of events that brought me back to Pebble Brook Falls and face-to-face with Johnny Moore. The very man I wanted nothing more than to forget…forever.
And nothing could have prepared me for the man that was the embodiment of my weaknesses. With his towering height, southern accent, and a smile that made me weak in the knees, I was completely helpless against him.
He had been my first for everything, and I mean everything. And even though I knew he was the only person who could break my heart, the moment I laid my eyes on him after ten years, I knew I wanted him to be my last—my forever.
The only question was, would he even want me to stay?

EXCERPT:

I grasped his large hand in mine and brought it to my lips, pressing gentle kisses to each of his knuckles. He watched me with hooded eyes that tracked my every movement. The air was thick between us. Tension buzzed and I thought he might pull me down to kiss him again as his lips parted.
But instead, he said, “I’ve missed this so much.”
I knew what he meant because I felt it too, but I still wanted him to say it out loud. “What did you miss?”
The tilt of his lips revealed his dimple, nestled deep against the edge of his mouth. Even after all these years, he still knew me so well.
“I’ve missed you, Lo. I’ve missed the way the moonlight turns your blonde hair silver. How your tiny button nose scrunches when you’re frustrated. And the way your blue eyes light up every time you see a furry animal.” His gaze dipped to my mouth, an intense smoldering burned in his irises. “And the way you always taste of sweet nectar when you open up for me.”
The pad of his thumb scorched me as he slid it over my bottom lip. When he pulled down slightly, the hunger I felt for him intensified. When we made love for the first time, it was tender and innocent. Neither one of us had a clue of what to do. And though neither one of us had been with anyone else, I still knew things would be different if we crossed that line now. Johnny was no longer a gangly teenager. He was a man in every sense of the word. And I wanted to see just what those twelve years of experience could do.
