Release Blitz: The Marriage Pact













I was sixteen when I vowed I would never marry him.

We shook on it. Pinky swore. Even put it in writing and all but signed our names in blood.

It was the one and only thing we ever agreed on.

To the world, he’s Prince Ian, Duke of Montcroix, second in line to the Chamont throne. Panty-melting accent. Royal charm. Hypnotic presence. Blindingly gorgeous. Laundry list of women all over the world who would give their first born for the chance to marry him. Most eligible bachelor in the free world …

But to me, he’s nothing more than the son of my father’s best friend—the pesky blue-eyed boy who made it his mission to annoy the ever-loving hell out of me summer after summer as our families vacationed together, our parents oblivious to our mutual disdain as they joked about our “betrothal.”

He was also my first kiss.

And my first taste of heartbreak so cataclysmic it almost broke me.

I meant it with every fiber of my soul when I swore I’d never marry him.

But on the eve of my 24th birthday, His Royal Highness has the audacity to show up at my door after years of silence and make a demand will forever change the trajectory of our lives: “We have to break our pact.”







Wall Street Journal and #1 Amazon bestselling author Winter Renshaw is a bona fide daydream believer. She lives somewhere in the middle of the USA and can rarely be seen without her trusty Mead notebook and ultra portable laptop. When she’s not writing, she’s living the American dream with her husband, three kids, and the laziest puggle this side of the Mississippi.

Release Blitz & Review: Washed in Blood





Title: Washed in Blood

Series: Heaven's Guardians MC #1
Author: Ashley Lane
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: June 27, 2019




Blinded by anger, the man who had sworn to protect me,
shot me in a fit of rage when I was only sixteen years old.


He thought he killed me. 
But my job wasn’t finished yet.


My days are spent as President of the Heaven’s Guardians MC.
Nights are spent searching for the scum of the earth.


Rapists, Murderers,
Pedophiles.
They all answer to me.


I thought I’d seen it all.
Thought my heart couldn’t be any darker.
Thought I knew exactly how far I was willing to go.


Then a battered and broken woman was found behind our clubhouse, and I realized, I’ve never had a clue about the monster that lurks within.


They may call me Priest, but I’d sell my soul to the devil before I let anything take her away from me.

What a debut for this new author! We get a unique twist on the MC genre and impeccable story telling.  This book kicks off the Heaven's Guardian MC series.  The MC is a unique blend of men who have gone through hell and back.  Now they make sure other innocents don't fall to the same evils. Priest is the President of the club.  He rescues a woman half frozen to death and just knows that she is meant to be his. 

Lots of intrigue and a bit of suspense.  Quite a bit of violence. And I am a avid reader of MC books so I don't say this lightly.  What Willow has gone through and continues to endure in this story stretched my imagination just a bit.  By the last quarter of the book, I was sure she would not survive -- what person could.  I would have much rather seen the MC doling out the penalty than for Willow to continually have been the target. 

That's just my preference.  The author did a great job with the flow of the story. Editing is spot on. I want more! Can't wait to see what the other brothers get up to.

Boost: Bossy Brothers: Jesse




Title: Bossy Brothers: Jesse

Series: Bossy Brothers #1
Author: JA Huss
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: June 24, 2019



Thirteen years before Emma Dumas bought me in a bachelor auction to teach me a lesson she stole my heart down on Key West. I fell so hard for this girl I made all the promises. Only with Emma, I really meant them.

And then I disappeared.

But it wasn’t my fault. Let’s just call my reason “Family Business”. I’d tell you what that business is, but then I’d have to kill you. Just kidding. I can’t tell you what my family business is because it’s so secret, even I don’t know.

My point is… I didn’t ghost. It was a weird twist of circumstances. And OK, yes. I did hook up with pretty much every girl on the island that week. But after I met Emma, I was ruined. She’s the only one I wanted.

It’s been thirteen years. I’m a changed man. I STILL want her. I have ALWAYS wanted her.

But it’s kind of hard to tell her that with a gag in my mouth and a hood over my head.

*****

Bossy Brothers: Jesse features a bachelor auction gone wrong, four smart ladies who botch a crazy revenge kidnapping, a fancy power dream date with fast cars, private jets, and expensive yachts, lots of ex-sex, and a happily ever after that proves… sometimes the best man for the job is a woman.

Excerpt

JESSE

I’m outside. Where are you?
That’s what I text to Emma once I pull up in front of her building. She’s testing me but I’m ready for her today. I am willing to overlook the drugging and the kidnapping—but no one walks out on me the way she did last night.
No one.
So am I being petty and childish by demanding that shespend the day with me learning her lesson?
Absolutely.
Do I care?
Absolutely not.
I don’t even know what we’re going to do today. I have no plans other
than monopolize her day. Make her waste time with me. Make her hate me.
This is what’s called the classic hate fuck, Jesse.
Her words are burned into my mind forever. I will never stop hearing her say that to me. Ever.
The balls on this woman. Giant, motherfucking bull-sized balls on this woman.
My phone dings in my hand just as a horn honks behind me.
I glance down at the screen and read her message. I’m right behind you.
Then I glance in the rear-view and see her waving at me from a… what the fuck?
She’s smiling broadly from the driver’s seat of a matte-black Lamborghini Huracán, her curlicue pigtails bobbing around her face.
She honks again. My phone dings. The text reads. Get in. I’m driving.
Oh, I don’t think so. I came here in a motherfucking Ferrari Portofino. Red. So I text back. You get in. I’m driving.
My phone rings. “What?” I ask, so annoyed. Because while the Portofino was an excellent choice, I do have to admit the Huracán has sex written all over it.
“I’m driving. Get in.”
“You’re not driving,” I say. “I’m the man, I do the driving.”
She revs her engine behind me. “We’re taking my car. If you’re a good boy maybe I’ll let you drive it.”
“I could buy my own Huracán, Emma. I don’t need to drive yours.”
I catch her smiling even bigger in the mirror. “We can compare dicks all day long if you want. But I’m not getting out of this car until we arrive at
our destination. So. I suggest you pick and choose your battles carefully, Mr. Boston. Because as you can see, I’m sporting pigtails. And what you can’t see
is that I’m wearing the same outfit I was that day at the shaved ice stand all those years ago.”
“Hmm,” I say.
“Hmm, indeed. This is your fantasy, right? You want to make  look like a teenager I was back then. Fine. I’ll play along. If you let me drive my car.”
“I don’t know where you got this car, but it’s definitely not yours.”
“It is now. I had it delivered fifteen minutes ago.”
“You bought a two-hundred-thousand-dollar car to impress me?”
“Two-seventy-five with upgrades. But who’s counting? And I didn’t do it to impress you, Jesse. Don’t be dumb. I did it to make you feel inferior.”
“So that’s how this is gonna go?”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“You’re trying to hate-fuck me with a car.”
“I… don’t really know if that’s a thing. But sure.”
I hesitate.
“You know you want to drive it.”
“I really don’t have a thing for fast cars, Emma. You miscalculated.”
She revs her engine again and it sounds like a fucking lion. Or a lion ready to fuck. One of the two. “Everyone has a thing for this car. Don’t you want to see the interior? I wish I had time to customize it myself, but oh, well. Listen to the sound system—”
The chorus of Smells Like Teen Spirit blares out into the city.
Everyone within a hundred yards turn to look at her.
I check the mirror again and find her banging her head and laughing hysterically, her pigtails flying back and forth.
I text, Stop it. You’re embarrassing yourself.
She pauses her head-banging to text back. Get. In. The. Car. Now. Or I’ll roll down the window and ask that hot-as-fuck jogger to get in instead.
I glance at the jogger. He’s shirtless, sweaty, and not bad-looking—OK.
No. He’s hot, even I can see that—and he’s also smiling at Emma like he wants to throw her down on the hood of that Huracán and fuck her right here in front of the whole city.
I get out, toss my keys to her building valet, and intercept the jogger with a hand in the air. “Back off, asshole.”

Frat House Confessions: Ridge 

by Bethany Lopez

AVAILABLE NOW

Contemporary Romance

She has a broken heart and revenge on her mind...

Last year Karrie was riding high. She had a boyfriend she loved, a softball scholarship, and the best roommate a girl could have. 

When it turned out her man was a lying, cheating ballsack, she may have gone off the rails a bit.
Now, it's a new year and Karrie's ready to build herself back up and move on to bigger and better things. 

Still, a little revenge would go a long way in helping the healing process.

He's got a plan for revenge that will suit them both...

Ridge is used to being the BMOC. Sergeant of Arms of his frat and the ability to land any chick within snapping distance has made life pretty easy for him. 

His home life is another story. He and his brothers are in the middle of a battle between his socialite mother and asshole father.

Ridge is looking for a stand-in to placate his mother and her matchmaking ways, and he has a feeling he's just met the girl he can perfectly mold.

This makeover has nothing to do with love and everything to do with Karrie and Ridge using each other to get what they want. What starts as a ruse soon becomes an attraction they cannot deny. When it's all said and done, they'll both have more to confess than a need for revenge.

I read just about everything this author puts out. Although NA is not my jam, Karrie and Ridge came together with a pretty mature outlook on life.  Those that read the Three Sister's Catering series will love this crossover.  Yes! These are the previously unknown baby brothers. It's time for them to get their HEA, right!

Great banter and chemistry with Karrie and Ridge.  Eyes wide open through the whole fraternity gimmick. Of course friendship soon leads to more and then BAM! Hearts are involved and everyone gets a bit edging because that was not part of the deal.

Love the brothers all together.  Really liked seeing their sisters and their families again. Karrie and Ridge are just perfect for each other and I can't wait to see them in action in the next books as well.  

Great start to the series!

Hurricane Hearts by Nina Levine
A standalone Storm MC Reloaded romance


She walked away from me five years ago.
She ran and took my heart with her.
Now I want it back, and hers too.
She can tell me no.
She can try to hide.
She can take her time.
But I’m a man on my knees.
Birdie Beaumont will be mine again.

My first lie had been to save us.
My second lie had been to save him.
My third lie broke me.
I still love him just as much as I did when I left him.
But I can’t have him.
Not after what I did.
Not after keeping it from him all this time.

Fans of the Storm MC series will recognize this world and some of the characters. But this is really the lead off book for a next gen series in and around the Storm MC. Winter is set to start off a new MC Chapter for the club. 

Winter and Birdie have a history. They never fell out of love but fell away from each other. A chance meeting brings them both back on the radar.  What follows is the reawakening of passion. But perhaps more important, the journey toward forgiveness.  Things were said, actions done, hearts broken.  Birdie has no hope of Winter ever wanting her again. Winter will do anything to win her back. 

Most of this takes place away from the MC. Lots of things happening in Winter's world. Loved meeting all the secondary family in this book.  Interesting folks. Can't wait to see all the guys that make up this new chapter of Storm. And Birdie finally coming into her own and fighting for what she wanted was very powerful. 

Great story once again by this author.  Looking forward to reading more!

Alpha's Promise (Dark Protectors #10)
by Rebecca Zanetti

June 25, 2019




To hell and back . . .

Though he has vampire, demon, and Viking blood rushing through his veins, Ivar Kjeidsen’s soul-crushing trip to hell broke him in ways he can barely fathom. One vow keeps the deadly immortal standing: To rescue the vampire brother who had sacrificed freedom for him. To do that, Ivar needs the help of a brilliant physicist with wary brown eyes, fierce brilliance, and skin that's way too soft.

Dr. Promise Williams understands the underpinnings of the universe but has never figured out the human beings inhabiting it. Her function is to think—and not feel—until she’s touched by a vampire who’s nowhere near human. The primal hunger in his eyes awakens feelings in her that defy calculation. As she shows him the way to step between worlds, he brands her with a pleasure that could last more than a lifetime . . .

GAH!!! I love the Dark Protectors series so much! And this one.....my inner geek goddess was standing up doing the happy dance. Nerds of the world will be so impressed with all the nerdy science, geeky, sci fi fantasy references in this one. Ivar has been a mystery and a wounded soul and now we finally get to see what--or who it is that will heal him. Totally loved that not only is Promise and scientist, but Ivar has been holding in his inner brainiac as well.

If you haven't read the last two books and novella in this series, you may want to catch up, just so you understand where in this world the story has brought us. The Seven are trying to find a way to stop the bad guys. Besides all the science on transporting to different worlds, we also get to see the King of the Realm, his brothers, the kiddos and of course Girl Power with all of the mates.

Wonderful series. Fantastic story! Can not wait for more of these big guys to meet their match. I will be so sad to see this story end. I have no doubt this author has more good stuff for us int he future.
