Release Blitz: The Apple Tree









The Apple Tree by Jewel E. Ann is now live!



He’s a single dad starting over in a new town. She’s a relentless flirt with a penchant for trouble, ten years younger than him, and the babysitter. What could go wrong?

Eve has just graduated from high school, but she doesn’t know what’s next aside from working at the local motel, spying on Kyle, her neighbor, and stealing apples from his orchard. If she doesn’t figure things out soon, she’ll be stuck at home and treated like a child forever.

Kyle is a single dad and the new football coach who needs a babysitter for his adorable son. When he meets Eve, there’s an instant connection because she reminds him of someone—himself. But Eve is the preacher’s daughter, off-limits, and Kyle has already had his heart trampled by his ex.

After earning his son’s affection with her homemade apple sauce and youthful spirit, Eve asks Kyle to teach her things like driving his fishing boat and shooting his hunting bow. Despite his better judgment, he agrees, but swears Eve to secrecy so no one gets the wrong idea about them.

Their playful banter and innocent flirting crosses a line, and Kyle misses the heartbreaking secret Eve’s hidden in plain sight.

When tragedy strikes, can they find their way back to each other?


The Apple Tree is a standalone in the Sunday Morning series by USA Today & Wall Street Journal Bestselling author Jewel E. Ann.

THE GRIEF WE HOLD

S. Cole

Release Date: January 23

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED!




From USA Today best selling author, Scarlett Cole, writing as S. Cole, comes an electrifying MC, grumpy/sunshine, widowed hero romance.

Raven
I don't know where my husband has disappeared to, but I know I'll do anything to keep our son safe from the men he conned before he fled.
If that means moving to a small town in Colorado to live a different kind of life, I'll do it.
But what I wasn't expecting was the grief-stricken biker who feels the urge to protect us both.
Even though he clearly resents every minute of it.

Wraith
Two years ago, enemies of my motorcycle club took my wife and baby daughter from me, killing me without stopping my heart.
From that day, I've lived for one thing.
Vengeance.
Until a single mom shows up in town with her young son, reminding me of the life I lost.
And when danger finds them, I'm forced to make the choice that will change my life forever.

I haven't read this author before. This was a perfect blend of MC and romance.  A bit of the coldness of the underworld and such a sweet single mom to offset a grumpy SA in this first book of a new series. 

Everything about Raven and Fen was both heartbreaking and so strong. They are in survival mode but she has it mostly together.  Wraith interrupts their lives and then everything changes for the better.  

Loved the small town setting. Loved meeting the MC brothers. Wraith and Raven are perfect together. I can't wait to catch up with them in future books.  Looking forward to the next one. 

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Meet S. Cole:

The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy. Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada where I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.

I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I'm getting the chance to follow that dream.

Release Blitz & Review: Emperor of Havoc









Emperor of Havoc by Jagger Cole is now live!



He’s a dark storm wrapped in tattoos and muscle.

A mafia prince with a killer’s smile and a predator’s gaze.

Takeshi Mori doesn’t ask for anything. He takes it.

Including me.

Our marriage is a weapon forged in blood, meant to stop a war.

But there’s nothing peaceful about my new husband.

He’s ruthless chaos incarnate—a Machiavellian psychopath with a thirst for violence.

He craves control, but I was born to defy.

His darkness terrifies me even as it calls to mine.

His touch consumes me even as it burns me alive.

We aren’t a happy ever after. We’re a collision-course disaster.

And “till death do us part” isn’t a vow.

It’s a declaration of war.


Emperor of Havoc is a standalone dark mafia romance with a smart, untamable heroine, and an ultra possessive psycho hero with "look at her and I'll unalive you" energy. Readers are STRONGLY advised to read the TW inside. No cliffhanger; HEA included.

This is the 4th book of the series about the Japanese and Russian mafia families. Takeshi is a powder keg and I was wondering how his story would play out. The little snippets of Katarina we had already seen and learned had me intrigued as well. 

Sadly the story was not my favorite of the series. other than Katarina's 'dark' kink, the two just didn't seem to have much chemistry. The families are still fighting for power. And arranged marriage would calm things down a bit. But someone else is lying int he wings causing havoc. 

We don't see much of the previous couples in the story. I think Tak ultimately has a good heart. He loves his family and believes in their work. I wasn't convinced he loves Kat. They have lots of suspense and action tearing them apart and bringing them together. But again, I wasn't picking up on the chemistry. 

If this was the last of the series, it was a disappointment. I enjoyed the series over all but this was my least favorite of the stories. 

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.








A reader first and foremost, Jagger Cole cut his romance writing teeth penning various fan-fiction stories years ago. After deciding to hang up his writing boots, Jagger worked in advertising pretending to be Don Draper. It worked enough to convince a woman way out of his league to marry him, though, which is a total win.


Now, Dad to two little princesses and King to a Queen, Jagger is thrilled to be back at the keyboard.


When not writing or reading romance books, he can be found woodworking, enjoying good whiskey, and grilling outside--rain or shine.
