Release Blitz & Review: Tin Queen

 

Tin Queen by Devney Perry is now live!


No promises. No expectations. No names. That's what Emmett Stone agreed to with the woman who caught his eye two months ago. After years of drama following the end of the Tin Gypsy Motorcycle Club, a no-strings fling with a mystery woman is exactly what he needs. Except as they find themselves together more and more, it's impossible for him to keep his feelings at bay. She's clever and sassy. She's gracious and kind. She loves riding on the back of his bike every Saturday afternoon and lazing in his bed every Sunday morning. She's the perfect woman.

Except she's Nova Talbot, the daughter of his archenemy--the man who murdered his father.
Her identity will cost her the man who's captured her heart unless she can convince Emmett her feelings are true.

Before he learns the reason she proposed their fling in the first place.

It's always bittersweet to say goodbye to beloved characters and settings. Tin Queen brings the Tin Gypsy's series to a close. The author gave us all the bells and whistles though so it was a thrill to finish this journey.  This final installment promises revenge.  All the bad guys are in jail, right? 

Nova is the wild card that no one in Clifton Forge saw coming. She is a secret and she uses that to her advantage. But what starts out as revenge and a way to put all the Gypsies down, turns in to a fact finding mission  What and Who are telling the true story?

Emmett thinks he is having a no strings fling. But his heart gets involved pretty quick. He has so many uncovered secrets as well.  Quite a bit of tension building over who will spill the beans first. Nova falls hard. Her conscience takes over. Emmett falls harder and both of them are left shattered. That is until the truth comes out. 

The whole group is there in the end. Everyone supporting each other and praying they can move forward with no more issues.  Loved the epilogue so much!  I will miss this group of brothers and their strong women. 

Great read!

Release Blitz & Review: Give Me A Reason


 

Give Me a Reason by A.L. Jackson is now live!

 


From NYT and USA Today bestselling author A.L. Jackson comes a single-dad, enemies-to-lovers stand-alone romance about a jaded club owner and his son’s teacher…

 

Eden Murphy came into my club looking to make some extra cash.

A girl like her didn't belong in a place like this.

She'd get ripped to shreds.

Most likely by me.

There's nothing but sweetness dripping from her sexy little body, and I'm the monster who's salivating to get a taste.

Trent Lawson is the last man I should want.

Dark.

Dangerous.

So wickedly gorgeous he makes my knees weak.

He's also an arrogant jerk who happens to be my new boss.

When I discover his adorable son is also in my kindergarten class, I know I have to keep my distance.

But neither of us can ignore the attraction that flames.

One glance, and our hearts race.

One touch, and we’re aching for what we can’t have.

One night, and we’re falling fast.

Dragging her into my sordid world is wrong.

It doesn’t matter.

Eden Murphy is mine.

It's been awhile since I read this author.  I love a good single parent trope so I was happy to read this one.  I loved the premise. I loved finding out there was some MC background happening--I didn't get that from the blurb. And I loved the characters.  Trent and his brothers were awesome. Eden was just a pure happy light in the darkness.  TOgether, they seemed to work. She softens his rough edges. 

So, I did finish the book. It was a struggle though. The writing style was cumbersome to get through. i haven't read so many incomplete sentences since I was proofing my kids papers when they were in school.  I get that the dialogue was taking place in the characters heads. But, come on. It didn't endear me any more to the character to read how he maybe would have grunted out what he was thinking.  I also could not get past Trent referring to Eden as "girl".  He never once used woman, lady, friend.  Always referred to her and spoke to her with "girl".  

Great story. Interesting characters both lead and secondary. I would like to get their stories as well. Loved Eden's bestie and her dad.  If the next book is written in the same format, I will pass.

Release Blitz & Review: Tongue's Taste




Title: Tongue's Taste
Series: Ruthless Kings MC #15
Author: K.L. Savage
Genre: Dark Romantic Suspense/Organized Crime
Release Date: August 24, 2021



I used to live in darkness and a comet soared through my night sky. So I made a wish.

Blood is my sanction.
Pain is my salvation.
Fear is what I instill.
Especially for my Comet.
The warm barrel of a gun against my head? It won’t stop me from protecting what is mine.
Even if it means spilling more blood.
My love for her has been tested and I’m furious.
Seconds has turned to minutes.
Minutes has turned to hours.
And suddenly months have gone by without a change.
Trying to make Daphne remember is getting us nowhere.
It’s time to accept our fate.
This is the new us.
Giving up isn’t an option, but moving on is, and we are doing it together.
While we figure out how to be together again, we wait for her stepfather to be sentenced.
Even if I want to be the executioner.
And while time creeps by, I don’t give up hope she’ll come back to me.
In the chaos of fighting for our lives, fighting the flames that try to take us down, there is one thing stands strong.
Us.
She’s mine.
And there are no limits to protect what’s mine.
A taste of time is nothing compared to the history we hold.
And sometimes time tells us when to let go.
But I’ll hold on tight until my death.
...And wishes do come true.

INCLUDING HARDBACKS



EXCERPT

It pains me to see her glance around this old house, staring at it as if she’s never really seen it before. The truth has been revealed about her stepfather, who her real dad is, and what happened to her mom. I can tell by the look on her face she feels like she’s lived a lie.
I’d never lie to her.
Gun to my head, knife to my throat, Reaper’s hand around my heart, I’d rather die than lie to my Comet.
She looks sadly around the house that held so many lies and so much deception. I thought the truth would wiggle her mind free and she’d come back to me, but we are right where we have been for a while now. If the truth doesn’t set her free, I don’t know what will.
Maybe it’s time for me to face the truth. Maybe Daphne won’t ever get her memory back and while it hurts, I’ll adapt.
Because that’s what love does.
I hurt for her, though. All those memories we built are just gone. The strength she’s had to use to get to where she is today has disappeared. It’s unfair for her not to get it back. She deserves to know and remember everything she has accomplished in life.
“I can’t believe I lived here with a monster,” she says, interrupting the stillness of the house.
It’s the first time we have been back since the day at the hospital. The day I almost lost her because of her stepfather’s selfish behavior. Many people died that day, but she didn’t.
Her aunt didn’t.
And the moment she was able to leave the hospital, I didn’t bring her here because this place isn’t her home.
I am.
So I took her to the NOLA Clubhouse where I knew she’d be safe. I’m glad I made that choice because she didn’t want to come back here until she was ready. Her Aunt Tina calls every day to check in on her, but Daphne has yet to talk to her.
Daphne is angry at Tina for keeping the truth about Mercy from her for so long. She hasn’t spoken to Mercy either. She wants to. I can tell. I don’t think my Comet knows how to open herself up to Mercy or her aunt after knowing the truth. For some reason, she can’t remember her own truth, so why would she want to talk about the truth with others?
Daphne confides in me, but there are times where she keeps me at arm’s length. We are nowhere near the couple we used to be before all this… fucking shit happened.
I’d follow Daphne to the ends of the earth, but that doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to be angry and tired.
I miss her. I miss us so much. I miss her touch. I miss sleeping next to her. I don’t know what else to do. Not even Happy makes her… happy.
Speaking of the best boy in the world, I squat and dig into my pocket for a treat and toss it to him. His jaws snap and his tail flicks. My big boy can only wear a harness now. He grew out of his collar. “Aren’t you so good?” I scratch under his chin, and he opens his jaws slightly, smiling when I hit his favorite spot. Bullseye and Reaper did me a big favor when they made a quick trip to bring me Happy a few months back.
There’s a piece of chicken hanging in his tooth, and I reach in and pluck it, placing it on his tongue. I’m never scared of him biting me. He is gentle with a select few people. Me, Daphne, and Slingshot… sometimes. Poor taco-loving bastard has a few scars on his arm from getting nicked one too many times. At the end of the day, he is still a predator, but a loving one at that.
Kind of like me, I guess.
Happy is wearing his emotional support vest, which never fails to get a few stares as I walk him every day.
Daphne is sitting on the floor in one of my oversized t-shirts, sniffling as she cries and wipes her cheek. She holds out her arms and Happy scurries across the floor and climbs into her lap, placing his head right on her shoulder. She sobs as she slides her hand down his spine, petting him gently. He purrs from her touch, which I can relate to.
Been there, Happy. I understand.


This book picks up right after Tongue's Target ends. You will want to read Tongue and Tongue's Target before reading this one. TOngue and Daphne have a unique relationship. Although Daphne's memory is blocked, she knows in her gut that Tongue would never harm her and that they have an undeniable bond. 

Tongue is going bonkers trying to get Daphne to remember him. He finally concedes that he will take her as she is and just create new memories with her. That is all happening int he background while new and old enemies start closing in on them. 

As happens with most MC books--lots of blood and action in this one. The brotherhood supports Tongue no matter how off the rails he gets.  Loved that the New Orleans chapter folded him in to their own as well as Daphne.  Great revelations from Seer!  What a twist that gave us!

Excellent addition to the series!  I can't wait to read the next one. These author's are the best at giving us tortured heroes worthy or redemption.

K.L. Savage decided they were tired of looking for the kind of books they wanted to read. They had an itch that needed to be scratched, and as every girl knows, nothing scratches better than an alpha.

They write about gritty, alpha males, sometimes their dark sides, and the women they love.

If you have the same itch, their alpha males should fix that.

Release Blitz & Review: Custom Love

 



Title: Custom Love
Series: Fast & Fury #3
Author: Chantal Fernando
Publisher: Carina Press
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: August 24, 2021



The thrilling conclusion to New York Times bestselling author Chantal Fernando's Fast & Fury series, fully loaded with intense emotions and edge-of-your-seat suspense.

All she wanted was the truth.

All he wanted was to be left alone.

Nadia has always been in charge of her life. As a private investigator, she makes her own hours and only takes on cases that she wants to work on. But when a family friend asks her to look into a case, she instantly regrets it—it hits far too close to home.

The last thing she wants to do is rip open old wounds. Especially Trade’s, the single father she’s been spending time with. It isn’t long before she’s falling not just for him, but for the kids he’s trying so hard to protect.

But the little voice in Nadia’s head tells her that something isn’t right, and she’s determined to find the truth. Using her connections to the Knights of Fury MC and the Fast & Fury motorcycle garage to gather evidence, Nadia uncovers evidence of a conspiracy that will leave everyone shaken—and force her and Trade to do whatever it takes to keep their new family safe.

This is the 3rd book of the series and we get to see two beloved characters start to fall for each other.  Nadia is a PI and has been in every book so far. She is Bronte's best friend and a friend of the MC.  Trade is brother to the MC president and starts this book having experienced a loss of his soul mate. 

I love a good single parent romance and Trade is the best of men. He handles it all and really doesn't need anyone else in his l ife. But eventually, the heart wants to move on. He takes a chance with Nadia. They have ups and downs and Nadia's work threatens to get the best of them. 

We see a lot of the extended MC family. There is a little bit of suspense as the investigation moves on but nothing too terrible.  THe children make the book. Just trying to navigate romance and 4 children with a ton of questions, makes for great reading. 

Loved the book!

Release Blitz & Review: There With You

 

There With You by Samantha Young is now live!


For Regan Penhaligon, there's no better place to run to than the exclusive Ardnoch Estate in the remote Scottish Highlands. Her impulsive behavior has finally caught up with her and Regan's visit with her sister, Robyn, is an opportunity to hide from someone who has grown dangerously obsessed with her.

Determined to make amends for her mistakes, Regan plans to repair her relationship with Robyn by staying close. And when an offer of help comes from Thane Adair, Regan gratefully accepts.

Widower, Thane, needs a new nanny housekeeper for his two young children and when they bond with Regan Penhaligon, he offers her the job. But as the weeks pass and the complex American reveals who she really is, Thane struggles with his growing attraction to her.

Regan never expected to feel so intensely for Thane, but she can't deny her passion for him or her love for his children. When someone from Thane's past threatens his family, Regan wants to be his pillar of support. However, his continued inability to trust her might just destroy their chance at future happiness... and the person who drove Regan to Ardnoch might snuff out her chance for any future at all.

This is the second book of the series and it is just as lovely as the first. This one follows American Reagan as she visits with her newly engaged sister Robyn at the beautiful Ardnoch estate. The sister need to mend fences but along the way, reagan wants to prove her worth and commitment.  She takes a job as nanny with her future brother-in-law's brother Thane. 

These two are a slow burn with so much tension going on between the two, the pages were sizzling! Reagan is a perfect fit for Thane but he is fighting it due to the age difference.  Eventually, he gives in to his heart and that is all she wrote. 

The story has some angst. It has a bit of suspense. But mostly, it is full of love.  The kids make the story and Reagan's sense of humor just adds to the overall flair.  Loved catching up  with  Robyn and the rest of the extended family. 

Looking forward to reading about the rest of the siblings and seeing where their HEA takes them. Great romantic story!

BLURB

When Aiden King asked me out four years ago, I went from mousy librarian to wife of the most wanted bachelor in Montana in four months flat. No longer the nerdy girl from the wrong side of the tracks, I was a CEO’s wife in a mansion by the river—and my husband was the man of my dreams. I almost couldn’t believe my good fortune.

Turns out, I shouldn’t have believed it. After years of rattling around that mansion alone while Aiden put in long hours at the office, I learned his secret: he’d needed to marry someone, anyone, to fulfill his trust requirements, and the nerdy girl from the wrong side of the tracks had been an easy target.

I never thought I’d be the girl asking a handsome millionaire for a divorce. Now, my pride and I just want to limp back to my family and start over. But to do that, I’ll have to swallow one question. If the trust only required him to be married for a year, why has it been four years since we said I do?

EXCERPT

“Can I get a room for the next three nights?” Preferably as close to Kate as possible? I glanced up. Seven levels. What were the odds I’d land on the same floor?
“I’m so sorry, sir. We don’t have any vacancies.”
None? It was December. A slow month for conferences and sporting events. Ah. “Construction?”
Her smile was sympathetic. “I’m sorry. I can help you find a room in a hotel nearby.”
I hadn’t expected to spend a lot of time with Kate while she was at her convention, but I’d at least hoped to be under the same roof. The roof might house a few hundred rooms, but I’d remained optimistic.
Kate’s attention was on us. “No opening?”
I tucked my wallet back into my slacks. “No problem. I’ll talk with Luna about the bedroom.” Could I use it when the plane wasn’t in use? I didn’t care to sit in another hotel.
“On the plane?” Kate glanced at the young man helping her, then at the woman assisting me. Her gaze landed on me, full of resolve. “Just stay with me.”
“This is your conference.” I could fist pump right now, but I hadn’t meant to intrude this much on her weekend. She was technically working, after all.
“It’s all right, Aiden.”
I thanked Cynthia for her time, gathered my suitcase and Kate’s, and shouldered my tech bag while she finished up.
On the way to the elevator, she handed me a key, hesitant. “There’s two beds. Two queens.”
Damn. “All right.”
Still. Progress was progress. We were talking. She hadn’t asked when we were going to sign the divorce papers. I was making progress whether I was back in her bed or not.
