I shouldn’t be alive.
I should’ve died in that plane crash.
Instead, I survived.
Thrived, even.
After all, I’m a rock star and a billionaire. There’s nothing I can’t buy.
Nothing, except peace.
And when it all comes crashing down around me...The guilt.
The pain.
The sorrow.
That’s when she appears.
The one woman I’m not allowed to love.
I needed her to fill the void after everything was lost. There she was, ready, and grieving too.
Both of us are broken, shattered people.
So why does she make my heart want to beat again? I need a new reason to keep breathing.
And I think that reason—is her.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

The best books pull you in from the very first page, and with each turn of the page, invest you in the characters through every up and down they're subjected to.  Ms. Burgoa does exactly that with this angst-fueled tale of two people whose lives become entwined from an early age and who get put through the wringer on their way to adulthood.

Brahms Ehrenberg & Seraphina St. Clairmont are the stars of this story and they form a strong connection the moment they meet.  Fast friendships and deep bonds were immediately formed in a heartfelt journey that ultimately led to a heartbreaking accident that pulled these bonds apart at the seams.  A love that was just starting to shine too unfortunately gets put asunder due to outside forces.

For years these two remained apart with Brahms, because of such devastating losses, going to a very dark place that had me aching for him.  Things take an even more emotional turn for him when another accident leads him to Seraphina's healing doorstep where years of secrets and lies finally see the light of day in a rollercoaster ride to HEA.

Brahms is a sexy hero whose soul-deep hurts pulled me into his life completely.  Along with the glitz of the rock star life came the lows of loss, loneliness, and addiction.  Ms. Burgoa pulled no punches in the depiction of all he went through and it makes for a more richly rewarding story as he earned the HEA he worked hard to achieve.  Seraphina's a strong heroine who's had her own difficulties with her father's life and death leaving her emotionally and financially in dire straits that Brahms's brother uses to convince her to let Brahms back into her life.  This is a couple that were always meant to be together as their connection was too strong to ignore.

This is a second chance romance with a couple that I quickly became invested in.  They got put through the wringer, both emotionally and physically, in a page-turning ride full of secrets and lies.  This is a beautifully crafted tale that pulled at the heartstrings.  From a childhood friendship to a love that never died, I was rooting for them through every up and down they went through.  Surrounding this epic couple was Brahms's brother who I long to see more of in the future.  The epilogues in this book were also wonderful!  Family letters and glimpse of the future act as a healing balm to leave readers happy and satisfied after all the darkness that came before.

My rating for this is an A.

Book Release Blast for Lost In Seoul by Rachel Van Dyken and Colet Abedi (REVIEW)…….

 Readers are reintroduced to the K-pop world courtesy of the young and talented artists of the My Summer In Seoul series.  From the very first page, the relationship between the youngest member of SWT, and the older woman who works for the band, makes for a complicated journey to HEA full of emotional ups and downs.  Keep reading to get a tempting taste of Lost In Seoul by Rachel Van Dyken and Colet Abedi, along with my impressions of it, then add this second installment in the K-pop fueled series to your bookshelf too!

Lost in Seoul is a standalone new adult romance set in the competitive world of K-pop from bestselling authors Rachel Van Dyken and Colet Abedi.

A meet cute is supposed to be cute. Ours was sexy. Chaotic. Not normal.
Less than 10 minutes after we met, I realized we could never be. She was forbidden to me.
She held my hand behind his back.
I gripped hers, knowing it was wrong.
I was on the cusp of superstardom—and still I held her fingertips because it felt right.
Knowing that when it all went wrong, we would be done—the media would destroy us.
After all, not only was she four years older than me, she was the leader of SWT's sister—my best friend—and someone who could wreck everything we'd worked for.
But I still held on.
I'm lost. So lost.
I'm the youngest in the group, the one everyone sees as the most innocent. But they don't know the stolen moments with her.
The kisses.
The touching.
They don't know any of that.
So I keep acting as if I’m pure as the driven snow when really all it took was one chance meeting. To make.
Me.
Sin.
Hi, I'm Sookie, Maknae of SWT, the most famous K-pop group in the world. And I'm pretty sure I'm not just lost...nah, I'm about to fall.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

A previous taste of the forbidden continues to be a part of what binds K-pop artist Sookie to Ari, his band's business lawyer and sibling to his bandmate too.  Though these two know they shouldn't be together, for both personal and business reasons, they can't give up on the feelings engendered by being together.  The power of love can be potent in battles of the heart though and it's what had me rooting for them from the first page to the last.

With K-pop music gaining in popularity, this is a timely story that took a deep dive into this world and showed every aspect...warts and all.  Readers are given a look behind the curtain and can see that it's not all glitz and glamour.  It's a demanding world where you're treated like a commodity, where every aspect of the artist's life is controlled in order to make money.  You're nothing more than an image who is to look, act, and dress according to what the label wants and it's a way of living that keeps you constantly on edge and under pressure that starts to feel like an anchor.  With this world as a sad and painful backdrop, readers get to see the joy of the connection between Sookie and Ari, a relationship that brought meaning to Sookie's life along with acceptance.  To keep those feelings would require a battle as the record company has put a label of innocence and purity around Sookie's neck and his having an older lover isn't part of the image created for him.  This dichotomy leads to lots of ups and downs for this couple, investing me completely in their burgeoning HEA, in a journey that took me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions.

This was a multi-layered story that dealt with business along with personal.  It showed harsh truths about the music world, showed the mental and physical toll of being a famous musician, and how easy it was to lose the real you in the K-pop world.  These truths made for moments of sadness, disappointment, and even anger over the treatment of the musicians who could easily become interchangeable if they didn't toe the line.  Watching the sweet and subtly sensual romance between Sookie and Ari brought a smile to my face.  It was one of the few things in this world that was real and it provided moments of empowerment that I cheered over.  I enjoyed seeing the other members of SWT, as well as their younger tour mates TestME, and their bonding over the demands of their record label was an immensely satisfying sight to see.  One last aspect of this story that I thoroughly enjoyed was super fan, Dueri.  She's not blinded by the images and can see each of the band members quite clearly.  She shows them the importance of their music to the people, and after everything is stripped down, she also shows them what's most important in life.  This was a story packed with a lot of stuff, issues and baggage that made for a bumpy road to HEA.  On a whole, I enjoyed the characters and hope to see more of them again soon!

My rating for this is B+

Book Release Blitz for Sangria by Heidi McLaughlin (REVIEW)…….

 Fans of opposites attracting, romances set in the music world and full of heart and soul, will be drawn to this tale and devouring it in a few hours.  Keep reading to get a tempting taste of Sangria by Heidi McLaughlin, along with getting my impressions of it, then add this first installment in the Nashville Nights series to your bookshelf!

Under the bright lights of Nashville, Levi Austin is a country music superstar whose life is rocked by the tragic death of his former wife, leaving him to raise their two daughters. Now faced with having to tell his girls, and making the hard decision about where they’ll live, Levi packs his bags and rushes off to Los Angeles—the last place he wants to be, but the one place where no one will recognize him.

Zara Phillips loves two things: her husband Van, and the band she created with her brother, Reverend Sister. To her, her life is perfect until she discovers that her high school sweetheart husband is cheating on her. The paparazzi are relentless, forcing a devastated and heartbroken Zara to stay hidden until the record label demands she shoot a video for the band's new single, driving her out of seclusion.
Two people collide from opposite worlds. Neither knowing who the other is, yet both intrigued by one another. When Levi spills hot coffee on Zara, everything changes. He’s focused on his daughters, trying to do what’s best for them while Zara is determined to get away from everyone and everything in Los Angeles.
When Levi offers her sanctuary at his home in Nashville, Zara jumps at the opportunity to disappear...with the hopes that Levi comes with her. What transpires next are the lives of two very different people finding their path along a very bumpy and unforgiving road, who are tested by their loved ones, the media and one ex that doesn’t want to go away quietly.

EXCERPT:

Our lives, Van’s and mine, are intertwined in so many ways. From the time he joined my silly little garage band to the day we took our friendship to the next level. Everything we did, we did as a team with people around us and now those people depend on us. Reverend Sister isn’t Van’s or mine, it’s ours and only works together if we’re in it together and right now I don’t want to be anywhere near him.
By the time the tears start to fall, and I mean really fall, I’m halfway home, and my phone is ringing with Van calling. The alerts are going off like crazy because the paparazzi are relentless and insist on snapping pictures of people. And when they put them online they add the most ridiculous headlines, except these, are spot on and tell people about my impending breakdown. It’s coming. I can feel the gut-wrenching ache, my heart being ripped out of my chest and every muscle and bone in my body in pain. The takeover is slow and almost alien-like. I can feel it in my toes, moving its way up my legs. It’ll take some time for my brain to really figure it out. For the light bulb to go off that my marriage is over.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

From start to finish this is a book that captivates with a storyline that ticks many boxes for me.  The characters are realistic and appealing, dealing with issues that are emotional and relatable.  Set in the music world, it sees a rockstar and a country crooner make beautiful music together, despite a few differences that are worked through as readers make their way through a bumpy journey to HEA.

Levi Austin is a country star dealing with the death of his wife while trying to be the best dad he can be.  Deciding that change can be helpful, when nobody knows your name, he moves the remnants of his family to the West Coast.  A stop for coffee changes everything though, introducing him to the rockstar dealing with her own heartbreak courtesy of a cheating spouse.  He may wear denim while she wears leather, his music has a bit of twang while hers has a pounding beat, but despite their differences their mutual heartache brings them together in a burgeoning romance that has them dealing with their past as well as a possible future when an ex comes back to cause bumps in their road to HEA.  Levi's a caring dad whose relationships with his daughters are realistic while pulling at my heartstrings.  He's hard working with an aw shucks attitude that's utterly charming.  He's everything you want in a cowboy and he quickly found himself claiming Zara.

Zara Phillips is at the top of the world...or so she thought.  With a few pictures, and a painful truth coming out, Zara finds herself running from the paparazzi and unsure who to trust when those closest to her betray her.  Looking for some peace of mind, and a place to hide, soon leads to a cowboy with a cup of coffee and an offer to stay at his Nashville farm.  It's an invitation that leads to far more than she expected in a slow burn romance with much appreciated moments of steam.  Zara's a heroine you feel sympathy for as she gets put through the emotional wringer by those who should've supported her most.  She's resilient though and never let those determined to wreck her HEA win.  I also enjoyed her burgeoning connection to Levi's daughters in a storyline that all should follow when becoming a new addition to a family with kids.  She works to be a part of their lives, let them decide where she fits best, and their empowering journey warmed my heart.  Overall, Zara was an emotionally strong heroine with a big, supportive heart.  She was put through a lot throughout the story, but came out the other side all the stronger because of it.

This was a slow-burn romance of opposites attracting with a steady pace of warm and loving moments balanced with steamy interludes.  The main couple were likable and pure perfection.  Despite being opposites in many ways, I was still rooting for them wholeheartedly to give into what fate kept pointing them towards.  Along with characters to root for there were also villains, ones from within Zara’s circle and ones she thought would never betray her.  She WAS betrayed though, and with each turn of the page I found myself booing those characters who hurt her most.  Of the remaining secondary characters, I adored Barbara and her love and support for Levi's daughters, and for Levi himself.  Zara's brother, Darian, was another compelling character who got caught up in all the turmoil that befell her.  I found myself drawn to him the first time I saw him and look forward to coming back to the Nashville Nights series with him taking center stage!

My rating for this is an A.

Book Release Blast for Restless Rockstar by Gina Azzi (REVIEW)……

 The all-consuming romance between Derek and Allegra comes to a hard-fought conclusion in this emotionally intense tale of love and personal growth.  Keep reading to get a tempting taste of Restless Rockstar by Gina Azzi, along with getting my impressions of this second chance romance, then add this third and final installment in The Burnt Clovers Trilogy to your bookshelf!

Derek Reiner is an epic, consuming, forever, kind of love.

He’s also at the center of my deepest heartache.
While he focuses on his personal growth, I figure out my future.
As much as I want him in it, I won't choose Derek at the expense of myself. Not anymore.
My rockstar may be desperate and restless, but I’m calm and decisive. Some epic loves burn out before they have the chance to blaze. Sometimes, it’s for the best.

BUY AT AMAZON here.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

The connection between Derek and Allegra has been obvious from the very start!  That connection, while undeniable, put them and us through the wringer throughout the previous two installments and continues here.  There's a lot of angst in this story, but instead of breaking these two, it helped them grow and become who they were meant to be.  Derek in particular showed a deeper level of maturity here, using his past pain as a learning moment...learning more about himself in order to reach a well-deserved HEA. He's worked hard to become the man Allegra deserves, learning forgiveness and a better way to be with his bandmates and Allegra.  He's been through so much throughout this trilogy, breaking my heart repeatedly (along with frustrating me as well), with him finally rising from the ashes to live up to all the promises he's given Allegra over the years.

Allegra showed emotional growth here too, but it didn't hit me as hard.  That's not to say that I didn't enjoy watching her mature though...because I definitely did as it was needed.  She was a lovestruck young girl when readers first met her, but here she's become a strong and independent woman who knows what she wants.  She stands on her own two feet in a determined path to HEA that had me cheering her on.

This is a story full of twists and turns, a story full of personal growth and emotional inner dialogues that pulled at my heartstrings.  It's a tale that builds you up before knocking you back before building you up again.  Derek and Allegra worked hard to be together, growing up themselves before being able to stand beside the one person always meant to be theirs.  It made for a heavy-handed journey at times.  Thankfully readers can count on the friends and bandmates of this pair to lighten up things.  The banter they engage in is funny and feel-good and I hope to see these secondary characters in the future.  This story ends on just the right note, wrapping up the past while giving a taste of the future.  Two epilogues give readers reason to cheer and have definitely left me longing for more of Maverick.

My rating for this is an A.

I'm not an independently wealthy person and had no intention of leaving my career. I didn't think it was even possible to make a living writing the stories that lived in my vast and dynamic imagination.

That book, now called Then Came You, was so warmly and broadly received that I decided to write another. And then another...And two years after I accidentally found this amazing career, I left my job and went all in on my dream.

It hasn't been a smooth journey. It's been full of volatile ups and downs. But, it's been the most rewarding and exciting thing I've ever done.

My favorite part of this job is connecting with my readers. I'm so honored by the kind and interesting people who read my work and reach out to connect to me.

I was born in Accra, Ghana, raised in Houston, Texas, and find that home is where my heart is.

I'm a proud graduate of Tufts University, Howard University School of Law, and the London School of Economics. Nearly twenty years ago, I married the love of my very own book boyfriend and together we're raising two wonderful sons who are the light of our lives.

I believe in the power of dreams and know that nothing is beyond our reach if we're willing to work hard and step out of our comfort zone to grab it.

I hope you find hours of entertainment and joy in my books!

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

With the cliffhanger from the previous book hanging over reader's heads, it was with bated breath that I started reading this conclusion to the Requiem for Love duet.  From start to finish you will be on the edge of your seats, right alongside this triad who's trying to rebuild their lives amidst painful pasts that haunt them still.  It's a rocky journey, one gently and realistically depicted, that pulled me into their reunion and had me rooting for them to find HEA.  With each turn of the page I was reminded of how perfectly imperfect this triad is, how well they fit together like the pieces of a puzzle.  On a whole it's a book that touches you on every level, breaking your heart before putting it back together in a triumphant tale of overcoming the past to find a future worth fighting for.

My rating for this is an A.

 Grab that box of tissues and get ready to be gutted as a triad relationship that was once unbreakable gets set adrift in the first book in a powerful duet that readers won't soon forget.  Keep reading to get a tempting taste of Reminders of Her by Claudia Burgoa, along with getting my impressions of this steamy contemporary story, then add this first installment in the Requiem for Love duet to your bookshelf too!

From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes an achingly poignant tale—an exquisite Why Choose? An MMF polyamorous romance told partially in epistolary-style that promises a rollercoaster of emotions, bringing together love, loss, and the unabating pull of the past.

This wasn’t the typical boy meets girl story.
In our case, it was extraordinary: a boy met a girl and another boy. And he fell madly in love with both.
Greyson was a gifted musician whose songs soothed even the most shattered souls. Aerin was a ballerina, exuding an elegance that could steal your breath away.
They weren’t just my loves.
They were my reason to breathe—my world.
Until a tragedy broke us into a thousand pieces.
Now, years later, I'm left haunted by Greyson's melodies and the fragmented echoes of our shared past.
Just as I’m learning to breathe again, our history is flung into the public eye. An agonizingly intimate memoir has surfaced, putting our past on full display. I find myself drawn to Greyson, desperate to shield him from reminders of her.
As we navigate the stinging wounds of our history, we’re on a mission to find the person who ripped the bandages of our past.
Is there a chance this could lead us to something more—a way to fill the void left by her absence? Because finding her is impossible...isn’t it?
Reminders of Her is the enthralling first book in the Requiem for Love duet. Prepare yourself for a breathtaking, slow-burn romance that culminates in a heart-stopping cliffhanger.
This novel will leave you gasping, aching, and craving for more.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

Wow!  Just, WOW!  Upon turning the final page of this book I'm left drained by all that came before, utterly broken down by all that befell this triad, and on edge while waiting for the second half of this duet to hit bookshelves.  This story touched me on every level, warming my heart early on as Sanford, Greyson, and Aerin found a friendship before it became oh so much more.  The bond between them was beautiful, their scenes together jumped off the pages, and they completely invested me in their relationship.  I felt everything they felt, smiled when there was joy and bled tears when their pain took an even more painful turn.  What these characters went through was difficult to read sometimes, their painful pasts made even more heartbreaking by the fact that it was family (and those sworn to protect them) who caused the most pain.  Through it all though they had each other and I was right there with them, breathing in their love and support....before their lives broke into pieces, pieces that may never get put back together.

From the first page to the last, this is an epic tale!  It's an unforgettable story teeming with angst that twists you into a pretzel from time to time...before leaving you breathless with one heckuva cliffhanger (although it's one I saw coming).  Even with that knowledge though this was a book that you can't help but be pulled into.  There's angst, there's love, there's emotional pain amidst unwavering support...this book has it all!  I'm now left (impatiently) waiting for the conclusion of this duet, stocking up on tissues while recommending this book to everyone, hoping that Ms. Burgoa builds me back up after leaving me wrecked from all that came before!

My rating for this is an A.

But Presley’s been keeping a secret that changes everything. She becomes my lifeline. And instead of pushing her away, I should’ve held on tighter.

Because the whole band is on a downward spiral, out of control…and none of us knew what was coming.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

As a fan of rockstar romances I gobbled this one up from the first page to the last.  Though the storyline seen here is one we've seen before, I still found myself captivated as my emotions were played with at every turn.  The first part of this book introduces readers to college girl Presley Figueroa who's trying to finish her degree and get a job as money is tight for her and her entertaining Aunt Meg.  From that moment on, from the moment she meets guitarist Zeke of Onyx Knight, her life takes unexpected turns of highs and (mostly lows) that broke my heart.  She's a tough heroine, one I rooted for every step of the way, in hopes that she makes Zeke work for forgiveness when the time comes.

William Zerkesian "Zeke" seems to be at the top of the rockstar world when readers first meet him, but the cracks in his rock god facade are starting to show.  The partying, the drugs, and the women are starting to lead to dangerous and hurtful behaviors.  The moment he meets Presley though he's drawn to her, and together they have an unforgettable night, one that leads to a morning of miscommunication and anger that lingers for over a year.  His year away from Presley is one that sees his bandmates in dire straits, has him feeling guilty for the condition they're in, as well as having a desperate need for Presley’s forgiveness that he has every reason to grovel for since he has a lot to atone for.  Throughout this story there were many instances where I hated Zeke!  I hated his behaviors and his ease in believing a lie.  I hated his ongoing relationship with a viperish woman who only wants the outer shell he shows the world.  She's a toxic part of his world and doesn't have the band's best interest at heart and I cringed whenever the two of them were together.

With each turn of the page my heart hurt more and more.  I felt broken down by all that befell Presley, her Aunt, and the band, and was grateful for the second half of the book that slowly built me back up.  I'm not gonna lie...this book will rip your heart out!  But the longer Zeke is on the scene the more he earns my forgiveness, earns my heart as he becomes just who Presley needs him to be.

Along the rocky journey that Presley and Zeke undertake is a slew of emotions that readers will be feeling right alongside the characters.  I ached when they ached and wanted to spit with the number of miscommunications that hurt this couple repeatedly.  I adored the connection between Aunt Meg and Presley, the unconditional support they gave one another in scenes that warmed my heart.  The glimpses of Onyx Knight kept me glued to the pages, watching the bandmates unravel while hoping they put themselves back together soon.  After reading this entertaining and compelling series starter, I look forward to where we readers will be taken next!

My rating for this is an A.

AUTHOR INFO:

USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she's called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She's never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she'd probably choose the west coast.

A typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max), Kat can usually be found scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) - traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible.

Kat's been a working freelance writer for nearly 30 years. She sold her first article--a review of a rock concert--for $10 in 1985. Since then she's been an entertainment journalist, waitress, bartender, legal assistant, food critic, magazine editor, substitute teacher, and sports writer. She also spent some time working at A & M Records in Los Angeles.

As you can guess from her Las Vegas Sidewinders series, Kat loves hockey and occasionally writes articles about her favorite team, the Florida Panthers. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There's something enticing about hockey players and romance...
