Release Blitz & Review: When We Burn

When We Burn by Kristen Proby is now live!

From New York Times Bestselling author Kristen Proby comes When We Burn, a single-dad, friends-to-lovers, small-town romance, and the first in the Blackwells of Montana series, set in Bitterroot Valley!

Bridger

I’m her safe place.

I always have been.

The torment that Dani Lexington went through at the hands of her father was something no child should have had to endure. But I was the lucky one she turned to.

Our age difference and the fact that her brother was my best friend kept her off-limits, even though something was always there, lingering under the surface.

But when she was old enough, she left Bitterroot Valley, and I was forced to move on with my life.

I got married and had my little girl. Now, I’m a single dad, focused on my job as fire chief and making sure my daughter stays healthy after a mysterious illness has plagued her for the past year.

But after Dani’s father dies, she returns to Bitterroot Valley and is now living across the street from my daughter and me.

Dani’s no longer a child. No longer off limits.

This time, I won’t let anything or anyone stop me from being her safe place again.

Dani

I’ve been in love with Bridger Blackwell for as long as I can remember.

He’s a smoke show, kind, and gives the best hugs in the world. But best of all? He’s everything my sorry excuse for a father wasn’t.

Now, I’m back in Bitterroot Valley, living across the street from Bridger and his adorable daughter.

It doesn’t take long for all those old feelings to come rushing back, and every cell in my body knows that I belong with them.

That they’re mine.

Bridger’s arms are where I feel safest. They feel like home.

I’m growing to depend on him, to truly love him and his daughter. But I have deep-rooted baggage, and Bridger’s past has decided to rear its ugly head.

Will we survive this, or is our relationship doomed from the start?

What a great start to this series! We are familiar with all the families int his small town. This new spin off will follow the Blackwells.  Even if you haven't read any of the other books, you will fall in love with Bridger and Dani and Birdie! 

This hits all the trope buttons of single dad, small town friends to lovers and a strong female lead.  Just a well written flushed out book a the way through. We get some drama from Bridger's ex. Otherwise, it's just time spent getting to know each other again and getting a peek at their families. This author has small town and sibling banter down pat. Loved it all!

Release Blitz & Review: Playing Mr Perfect

 

Playing Mr. Perfect by Melissa Foster is now live!

     


What happens in Paris, stays in Paris, right?

Oh, Pepper. If only...

Okay, I admit it.

Sleeping with the NFL quarterback who the media has dubbed Mr. Perfect might not have been the smartest move, but I'm in the City of Love, I'd had a few drinks, and was jacked up on giddy girl talk and hopeful hearts--two things I never buy into--and I threw caution to the wind.

I want to sneak out before he wakes up, but when I open my eyes, he's already up.

In more ways than one.

Convincing the ridiculously cocky (pun intended) man that I'm not the woman he slept with last night is awkward.

Actually, he makes it impossible.

The thing is, I don't even know who that woman was.

And now he's determined to find out.

I have read quite a few Melissa Foster books. I have loved them all. I have not read the Montgomery series though and this one is spin off from that. All that said, it's pretty easy catch up on everyone. At it's heart this is a family saga and that includes all the love and banter that only families can shower you with. 

Clay and Pepper have known each other for years. Clay has always wanted Pepper and she has done her best to avoid him. Lots of misconceptions about Clay and his football carrier and his active love life. Pepper tries to keep her distance unti. Paris. 

Paris is for romance and love. These two steam things up but I just was not feeling the romance so much with them. Lots of great conversation. I just was not convinced they were soul mates. And maybe that was because I hadn't seen them interact as part of the other series.

Loved the family members. Loved all the banter. I liked Clay  more so than Pepper. Overall an OK read, just not my favorite from this author.

Release Blitz & Review: Stealing Hearts

 

Stealing Hearts by Lex Martin is now live!

        

A marriage of convenience might save his ranch, but will it break her heart?

I don't remember a time when I didn't love Rhett Walker, which is complicated since he's ten years older and my brother's best friend. After a falling out, we didn't speak for years--until today, when he found me sleeping in my car, threw me over his shoulder, and dragged me "to safety."

He's grumpy and overprotective and even more handsome than I remembered. I'm shocked to learn he's in trouble. Someone is sabotaging his ranch, which is thirty days from foreclosure. He needs a loan from a friend who won't extend the funds unless he's married. Only Rhett's now a single dad with no plans to fall in love again.

When his brother suggests I marry Rhett for health insurance so I can rehab an injury, my first reaction is hell no. I can't afford to catch feelings for a man who won't see me that way.

But spending time at the ranch reminds me how much is at stake--the family business, the welfare of Rhett's children, and the happiness of a man I've always longed for.

Rhett says we'll keep things platonic in private, even though I'll be sleeping in his bed. He refuses to mix business with pleasure.

Except when the lights go out in his bedroom, our chemistry is too explosive to contain.

Would it be so bad to fall for Rhett? Or will he steal my heart all over again?

One thing's for sure--the clock is ticking on our divorce.


Stealing Hearts is an age gap, marriage of convenience, single dad romance. If you enjoy grumpy cowboys, sweet but sassy heroines, a family of rowdy brothers, and secretive small towns, this book is for you!

What a wonderful kick off to the new series!  We get to meet all the small town loveable characters willing to meddle in others lives. We get a band of brothers trying to hold their own on an inherited ranch. We get second chance romance that is super swoony. And finally 2 adorable little urchins to round our the family! 

Rhett and Paige have known each other all their lives. After breaking her heart in high school, she hasn't been back to their town or even seen him for that matter. Now they have entered into a contract that is mutually beneficial, but all those old feelings can't keep themselves buried. 

I love the banter and the closeness of Rhett's brothers. I loved Baylee for Paige. The only weirdness for me is the insta-lust. These two have issues that need to be worked out. Realistically--I would think it would be more slow burn....hey we're married...we haven't talked in 7 years.....lets get to know each other....if we do cross that line it will be because our relationship has changed.....you know, those kind of things.  

I am looking forward to the rest of the brothers finding their HEA. Its been a hot minute since I read this author. I may have to pick up some more of her back collection. 

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

Lex Martin is the USA Today bestselling author of Varsity Dads, Texas Nights, and the Dearest series. She writes contemporary romance novels, the steamy kind she hopes readers love but her parents avoid.

She's always been obsessed with writing, starting in elementary school when she would pen short stories and make her father read them. (Afterward, he'd have to take her tests, but he was a good sport and did them without complaint.) In high school, when she wasn't playing basketball, she wrote emo poetry and worked on the school newspaper.

She later became a nationally-certified high school English teacher and freelance journalist but decided she'd rather write romance novels than tests or city hall articles.

Lex loves coffee, rom coms, pen hoarding, planners, and college football.
She married her almost college sweetheart (they met right after graduation), and she's still obsessed with him, especially when he writes her songs.

She currently resides in her hometown of San Antonio with her husband, twin daughters, and their bunny. Drop her a line. She loves hearing from readers.
