A burning need to read; to finish just one more chapter. Blogging about books and authors to OBSESS over. Staying up all night because, after all, sleep is a symptom of book deprivation.

Release Blitz & Review: Kiss Me Forever

 





Blurb:Falling for your enemy is bad. Falling for the man you only call your enemy is worse.

Reece Fox is a decade older than me but I’m his boss. And if the man growls at me one more time, he’s going to learn the true meaning of the Montgomery temper. Yet I can’t stop thinking of him.

After losing my fiancรฉ, I’ve sworn off men, but when Reece does the one thing I never thought he’d do—ask for help—I can’t walk away.

Brooklyn Montgomery is too young for me. She’s not only my boss, but my friend’s family. The definition of forbidden. We both know this. But I can’t keep my hands off of her. When we finally give into the heat between us, there’s no going back.

Only when a little girl shows up at our work, she changes our world completely with one word:
Dad.

Review


Readers of this author have been following along in the Montgomery Legacy series. You will love all the family dynamics if you start from the beginning, but you can very easily read this as a stand alone. Tis is Brooklyn Montgomery's story.

I love a good single parent trope and this on comes as a surprise as well! Reece Fox works for the Montgomery construction. Technically, Brooklyn isn't his direct boss but she is owner in the company. Neither of them are looking for a relationship. But when Reece finds our he has a pre-teen daughter, Brooklyn is more than happy to help him out.

Eventually, their long held attraction comes to a head. No one in either family is surprised or concerned. Lots of family antics and banter in this one. The Fox brothers my need their own series coming up....hint....hint.

Great addition to the series. Great to see Brooklyn's brothers again, too. I always look forward to more from this author.

Release Blitz: xoxo Summer


Blurb:


I can’t decide if my new summer tenant—a devastatingly handsome hockey player and single
dad—is the answer to my problems or the start of a new one.

When big-city developers threaten to buy up my small town, I need to save the rental cottage
next door from demolition. I have a plan . . . until Daniel Sutton checks in.

Six-four, a face chiseled by the gods, and a body built by a career on the ice, I’m knocked
sideways. He’s charming with me and adorable with his son. And when we touch, it’s electric.

But two things change everything. The pipes break in the cottage, and his agent calls. Before I
can stop myself, I’m offering him a place to stay, and Daniel is offering me the answer to my
problems. He’ll buy the cottage for me if I help him clean up his reputation.

Sounds simple enough. But when I start to fall in love with him, even though I know he’s leaving
in a few months, it’s suddenly more complicated than ever.

I’m willing to take a chance on us and pour my heart into a letter. But with him skating on thin
ice, he’s going to have to sacrifice something—me or his career.

I just hope XOXO, Summer isn’t the last thing I ever say to him.

Release Blitz & Review : Knox Unleashed




Blurb:


USA Today bestselling author Scarlett Cole, writing as S. Cole, delivers an electrifying small-town, enemies-to-lovers, age-gap romance set deep in the Florida Everglades.


MAREN

Everyone in Gator Flats knows Knox.

They know the sound of his bike rolling through the swamp. The way men step aside when he walks into a room. And they know my father shot his brother and somehow kept his badge.

I should hate Knox.

Instead, every time he looks at me, I feel like he sees the parts of me I’ve spent my whole life trying to hide while working at the Magnolia Bait and Marine Supply.

Wanting him is dangerous.

But maybe staying exactly who I’ve always been is worse.


KNOX

I rule Gator Flats.

Seventeen years wearing the president’s patch, and every man in this swamp answers to me. So when someone gives up a club member’s location to an enemy, I take it personal.

What I don’t need is Maren Caldwell driving past my compound like her father didn’t change both our lives forever.

She’s too young. Too tied to things that never washed clean. And every time I look at her, I forget that wanting something and taking it are two different things.

Review

Great first book to a series. This is an extension of the authors other MC books. We are off to Florida to see what this group is up to. Knox is the President and thinks he has his small community in hand. The Sherriff's daughter ends up throwing him for a loop!

I loved Maren to pieces! What a great match for Knox. She was so sure of herself and firm in her beliefs. She also didn't just take Knox or his brothers at face value but rather learned more about the lifestyle.

The romance building was fantastic. We see lots of the MC works and meet all the members. And when things got tough, Knox calls for support from some old friends that regular readers may recognize.

Another great read by this author. Looking forward to Vandal's story.

About   the  Author


Scarlett Cole is a contemporary romance and romantic suspense author who calls both Toronto, Canada and Manchester, England home. A born city dweller, she periodically quashes the urge to live in the country by hiking up a mountain to remind herself that living away from people would terrify the pants off her.

She believes everybody deserves their love story to be told and loves her heroes on the rough and rugged side…and usually tall (because she married one of those 6ft 6” men you read about in romance!). She’s an A-type personality and Scorpio star sign, so good luck getting her to do anything she doesn’t want to.


When she isn’t writing, she’s happy to talk hot men and expensive shoes while drinking a cold gin and tonic. Don’t bring up olives. As far as Scarlett is concerned, they are the devil’s food. As long as you don’t bring up olives, she’s happy to hear from any time.
