Release Blitz: Passion Restored

Sating a craving never felt so wrong…and so right.

Carrie Ann Ryan's PASSION RESTORED is available now! Trust us - you don't want to miss Owen and Liv's explosive chemistry!

The Gallagher Brothers series from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan continues with the one brother who thinks he can handle it all and the one woman who could change that.

Owen Gallagher likes everything in its place and is organized to a fault. While his brothers have each dealt with their own personal tragedies and stresses, Owen figures he’s had it pretty easy. That is until his perfectly ordered world is rocked at its foundation and he’s forced to rely on others. Now, he must heal his body and his soul while trying to ignore his delectable and utterly off-limits neighbor.

Liz McKinley is stressed out, exhausted, and not in the mood for a bearded and growly man in her ER. When she patches him up to the best of his ability, she’s prepared to push him firmly from her thoughts. Of course, that would be easier if she and her best friend hadn’t bought the house next to his. Now their paths seem to cross daily, and she is finding it harder and harder to say no to the injured and angry man next door. But she’s been scarred one too many times in her life, and even though this Gallagher looks good enough to eat, she knows that sometimes, sating that craving is the worst thing she can do.

“Cream and sugar?” Owen asked as he poured two cups.

“Both please,” she said. “I can drink it black and usually do at work, but I have a sweet tooth.”

Owen’s eyes flared. “Good to know.”

Liz licked her lips, and his eyes dropped down to follow the movement. This was so not a good idea. She shouldn’t be here, and she sure as hell shouldn’t be following up on any attraction they might share. He wasn’t good for her, and she damn well knew she wasn’t good for him.

And yet when he set her coffee cup next to her hand on the kitchen island, she didn’t move to reach for it. Instead, she stood still, and he moved closer, so close she could feel his breath on her lips, the warmth of his body achingly close to hers.

“Tell me to stop,” Owen whispered. He moved even closer, resting his hand on her hip. Her heart raced, and she tried to say no, tried to remember that she shouldn’t do this.

She didn’t tell him to stop.

He leaned forward, taking her mouth with his, and she let him. Let him have her, let him kiss her, let him do what she knew she shouldn’t.

And she kissed him back.

It wasn’t a soft kiss, wasn’t one from fairy tales with fair maidens and handsome princes. Instead, it was a meeting of mouths, heavy breathing, teeth, and tongues fighting for control. He gripped her hip with one hand and dug the fingers of his other hand into her hair, pulling her impossibly closer.

She’d imagined his mouth on her lips, on her skin before, and yet those dreams had nothing on the real man. She wrapped her arms around him, needing him on her, in her, with her. When she found herself rocking against the hard length of him, she didn’t stop. Instead, she just kissed him harder.

Raised by my four brothers, I'm the poster girl of a

hot-mess. A sucker for cheating assholes and shitty friends.

It's the reason I've come home.

The only reason!

I arrive to find the family business in shambles. My brothers have managed to run it into the ground. With new competition, the stakes are high, especially when I realize whose stealing all of the business out from under us.

Seeing him again isn't the hard part.

I'm over Crane Lord, his cocky, dangerous sex appeal, his criminal ways of getting by, and how he used to own every part of me.

He's the enemy. I don't want him.

I can't.

Shit!

Read Chapter One here:  https://jenniferfoor.com/2017/02/23/repossess-1st-chapter/

The synopsis had me wanting to pick this one up.  A family story about a girl raised by over protective brothers.  Sounded interesting.  Unfortunately, the description is about all the feel good about family that the reader gets.  Raimey comes across as a bada$$ girl from Jersey.  She leaves home after a bad blowout with the love of her life.  She comes home to a world very different from the one she left.

She has the best relationship with her oldest brother, but he too has left the world she knew behind.  The rest of the family are pretty much jerks.  The story is about second chances and rebuilding connections.  I just did not care for Raimey at all.  She spends much of the book stomping and complaining.  She wants things to go back to how they were before she left home.  Her version of “family”.  The story is told in her POV so maybe and chapter or two from Crane’s POV may have helped move the story along.  Although Crane redeems himself, I wasn’t a fan of his at first.  In the end, Raimey was just so unlikable, I had a hard time believing the chemistry between her and Crane. 

Just ok for me.

Laire, who wants more from life than her little island can offer, is swept away by wealthy, sophisticated Erik, who is, in turn, entranced by her naiveté and charm. The two spend a whirlwind summer together that ends on the knife-point of heartbreak and forces them to go their separate ways.

Years later, when fate finds them together once again, they will discover the terrifying depth of the secrets they kept from each other, and learn that shattered hearts can only be healed by a love that willfully refuses to die.

The creativity behind this series once again blows me away.  Katy Regnery brings it in her version of the Little Mermaid.  The little hidden gems that reflect back on the original story and yes even the Disney version might go unnoticed for a bit but in the e nd the light bulbs will all flash on.  I found myself saying “duh”  “oh, of course”, “yes, so clever”.

This is the story of Laire, a fisherman’s daughter.  Sweet and innocent but wanting to escape her life of island living.  And her chance meeting on the mainland of Erik.  Son of the Governor and so very out of her league.  What develops is a loving friendship over the course of a summer.  Both realize that being together means a lot to each of them.  But Erik has to go back to school soon and Laire needs to work hard and raise more money so she can go to school eventually as well. 

I won’t go into much more detail, because I don’t want to spoil it for readers.  This is a second chance romance, so that will give you some idea as to what occurs.  The writing is fantastic and Regnery throws in some twists the reader may not expect.  I dropped the book a half point just because I felt the first half of the book, although it laid out the relationship between Erik and Laire, tended to drag at points.  Its young love and I just found myself wanting to jump ahead.  However, after the Interlude, I COULD NOT PUT THIS DOWN! I stayed up way to late.  My brain wouldn’t shut down.  Hangover for sure.

Love is what it is.  We can’t help who we love and sometimes that might be in opposition to what others who love us see for our future.  Best summary of the story:

“We are each born into a family, it’s true. But Laire who was born of the sea, and Erik, who was born of the land, had taken their destinies into their own hands, and with their own rules, they had secured each other’s forever.”    <3

The icing on the cake for this series is that the author donates the sales of each book to a different charity.  If anything, buy the book to do some good in the world.  But by Don’t Speak and read it!  You won’t be disappointed!

Author Bio

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katy Regnery started her writing career by enrolling in a short story class in January 2012. One year later, she signed her first contract and Katy’s first novel was published in September 2013.

Twenty-five books later, Katy claims authorship of the multi-titled, New York Times and USA Today Blueberry Lane Series, which follows the English, Winslow, Rousseau, Story, and Ambler families of Philadelphia; the six-book, bestselling ~a modern fairytale~ series; and several other standalone novels and novellas.

Katy’s first modern fairytale romance, The Vixen and the Vet, was nominated for a RITA® in 2015 and won the 2015 Kindle Book Award for romance. Katy’s boxed set, The English Brothers Boxed Set, Books #1–4, hit the USA Today bestseller list in 2015, and her Christmas story, Marrying Mr. English, appeared on the list a week later. In May 2016, Katy’s Blueberry Lane collection, The Winslow Brothers Boxed Set, Books #1-4, became a New York Times E-book bestseller.

In 2016, Katy signed a print-only agreement with Spencerhill Press. As a result, her Blueberry Lane paperback books will now be distributed to brick and mortar bookstores all over the United States.

Katy lives in the relative wilds of northern Fairfield County, Connecticut, where her writing room looks out at the woods, and her husband, two young children, two dogs, and one Blue Tonkinese kitten create just enough cheerful chaos to remind her that the very best love stories begin at home.

"Flow is the intro to an epic love song. It's that first beat that has you stopping in your tacks and turning up the volume. The perfect cadence to a must-read prelude. 5 on top of the world stars!" -Mandi Beck, Bestselling Author of the Caged Love series and Stoned.

In 8 years, Marlon James will be one of the brightest rising stars in the music industry.

Bristol Gray will be his tough, no-nonsense manager.

But when they first meet, she’s a college student finding her way in the world, and he’s an artist determined to make his way in it.

From completely different worlds, all the things that should separate them only draw them closer.

It’s a beautiful beginning, but where will the story end?

FLOW is the prequel chronicling the week of magical days and nights that will haunt Grip & Bristol for years to come.

GRIP is the full-length conclusion of their story available March 2 here: http://kennedyryanwrites.com/grip/

"Ryan continues her streak of amazingly accessible and authentic romantic fiction. Grip is a bold and unapologetic look at interracial romance and does not shy away from any of the ideals and prejudices that most of us are too polite to acknowledge - head on- amidst one of the sexiest, and provocative true love romances Ryan has penned to date. Break out the fans folks, Grip is aptly titled and sure to make you need a grip! -- Sheena, Smexy Books

This is the beginning.  The laying down of the foundation of friendship and connection that only two soul mates can have.  It's the base track just waiting for the melody and the harmonies to make it perfect.  FLOW gives us the BEFORE.  Before Bristol moves to California, before Grip is ready to bust onto the music scene, before family and money and life threaten to tear apart what time has so carefully crafted. 

It isn’t necessary to read this before GRIP comes out.  But it does give insight into the mindset of both lead characters.  One week together and the reader KNOWS this is going to be an epic tale!  Loved getting to know these two better.

Resisting an irresistible force wears you down and turns you out.

I know.

I’ve been doing it for years.

I may not have a musical gift of my own, but I’ve got a nose for talent and an eye for the extraordinary.

And Marlon James – Grip to his fans – is nothing short of extraordinary.

Years ago, we strung together a few magical nights, but I keep those memories in a locked drawer and I’ve thrown away the key.

All that’s left is friendship and work.

He’s on the verge of unimaginable fame, all his dreams poised to come true.

I manage his career, but I can’t seem to manage my heart.

It’s wild, reckless, disobedient.

And it remembers all the things I want to forget.

Kennedy loves to write about herself in third person. She loves Diet Coke…though she’s always trying to quit. She adores her husband…who she’ll never quit. She loves her son, who is the most special boy on the planet. And she’s devoted to supporting and serving families living with Autism.

Release Blitz and Review: Sexy Six

They call me Sexy Six

Cocky? Absof*ckinglutely
Sexy? That’s what they say
Unstoppable? You bet your ass

NFL Golden boy, Super Bowl MVP, and the league’s hottest player—on and off the field. To most, I’m a celebrity, with the records to prove it.

Fame, fortune, family… I’ve got it all.

Except Grace Monroe.

Two years ago, Grace turned my world upside down with just one look. I didn’t stand a chance against the shy, southern beauty with the radiant violet eyes. Our intense connection was unlike any force I’ve ever faced. Then she disappeared, without a word, leaving me with nothing but questions, a handful of memories, and a lifetime of what-ifs.

Now she’s back, and so much more than the girl I once knew. Stunning, successful, and sexy as sin, she’s my fantasy come true.

One taste, one touch, one moan, and I’m addicted.

Grace is the game changer I never saw coming. Everything I’ve ever wanted is finally within reach.

Suddenly, I’m playing the most important game of my life… a game where losing isn’t an option.

Because this time… winning means forever.
What happens when you come face to face with the 'one who got away'?

#secondchance #sportsromance #football #oneclick #availablenow #newrelease #AhrenSanders #SexySix

Nick Bennet said good night after going on a date with possibly THE girl for him.  Then she disappears.  Doesn’t answer his calls.  Doesn’t come back to school.  He goes on with his life although his heart is not much in the game.  He gets drafted by the NFL.  Plays the best football of his life.  Lives the life of privilege.  All of this, but still never forgetting his Grace. 

Two years go by and by chance Grace Monroe now lives in Florida near Nick.  Second chances never looked so good.  Nick is determined to not let Grace get away from him ever again. 

The attraction is undeniable but they both have some things to work through.  I liked that this was a slow renewal to their friendship.  There was some conscious effort to protect their time together and make it there’s.  When they do finally get together, all the stars align and they both realize there will never be another to hold their heart.

I liked that the story involved so much family and family history.  Family makes us who we are and good or bad, relationships need to be built with the respect of family in consideration.  Nicks brothers and Grace’s family and whole town play major roles in the story.  All the secondary characters are interesting. 

This is a stand alone book, but big brother Shaw has had his HEA already and I am assuming the middle brother is getting his book soon as well.  Not so much a sports romance but a great second chance story.  A Fair amount of humor, makes it easy to get caught up in the story.  This was my first read by this author and I am happy I picked this one up.

Ahren spent her formative years living in an active volcano. There her family made collectible lava art. She studied rock collecting at the Sorbonne in France. There she met the love of her life-her pet pig Sybil. She returned to the states and started writing. She is happily married to a guy who used to live under a bridge and she met while pole-dancing. They have one amazing daughter. 

Now, meet the real me. I grew up in the south and consider myself a true “Southerner”. Most of the special locations mentioned in my books are reflections of my favorite places. Living on the Florida coast, my family spends a lot time at the beach which is where I usually can be found with a book in my hand. I started writing my Surrender Series, in the spring of 2013 and have received incredible support from the Indie community. Throughout this year, I have been privileged to meet some amazing people that I am thankful to have in my life.
