Blog Tour & Review: Always You

 

 

Always You by Samantha Young is now live!

 

Arrochar Adair has loved her brother's ex-bodyguard and best friend, Mac Galbraith, for years. Once upon a time, she was too young for him, but now that she's a mature woman in her thirties, Arro can see no issue with their difference in age. Yet something deeper, a problem much more difficult to surmount, is keeping them apart.

Mac Galbraith remembers clearly the night Arro became everything to him, no longer just his best friend and boss's younger sister. However, having made many mistakes over the years, there is one mistake Mac is determined not to make: to believe that he is worthy of Arrochar Adair. Allowing them to grow closer during his daughter, Robyn's, return has proven his undoing. And when Arro forces the subject of their relationship, his response pushes her away. He just never meant for it to destroy them completely.

Devastated by Mac's final rejection, Arro is determined to move on without him in her life, though he seems intent on staying put. And when the Adair family face a new threat, one that may have ties to Mac's past, Arro can't seem to be rid of the man. In fact, Mac will do anything to protect her.

But with so much hurt between them, will Arro let Mac close enough to guard her from their enemy... before it's too late?

I have been waiting for this story from the start of the series.  Arro and Mac have been dancing around each other and I could tell the chemistry between these two was going to be off the charts! 

There is an age difference and the fact that Arro is his best friend and employer's baby sister.  Mac tries very hard to keep his distance.  He even goes out of his way to hurt Arro so that she will leave him alone and they can try to move on with other people. 

The heart knows what it wants and with the Adair brothers giving their blessing, Mac tries to heal the rift he created.  Lots of sizzle between these two.  Good hearted meddling by the women in the family. There is some mystery and suspense that will keep you guessing. 

Loved this one as much as I thought I would.  So very happy to see these two out in the open and together.  The series could end now and I would be happy.

Blog Tour & Review: Reason to Believe

 

 


  REASON TO BELIEVE by Rebecca Yarros 
  Release Date: April 26th   
  AVAILABLE NOW!! 

   
 





 “I’ll take them!” 

  That’s what I tell the social worker when my pre-k student and his baby brother need an emergency foster placement. I’ll do anything to keep the brothers from being split up. 

But my apartment’s flooded and there’s only one house I can take them to on such short notice…his. 

  Knox Daniels, my older brother’s best friend, offers his new place without hesitation. He’s not moving back to our tiny town until next month—that’s when all our hotshot firefighters are returning for their one and only chance to rebuild our fathers’ fallen, iconic crew. 

  It doesn’t matter that I’ve been silently in love with Knox since we were kids. It can’t matter that we pretend that reckless prom night kiss never happened. It won’t matter that my feelings for him could destroy his lifelong friendship with my brother and threaten the certification of their hotshot crew. 

Because I’ll be out of his house long before he gets back. 

  Except Knox just walked in…a month early. And the icing on this awkward cake? He’s gorgeous as always and I’m covered in baby puke. 

He takes one look at the boys and tells me we can make this work— We can temporarily fake a relationship to keep them from being separated by the system. 

  Suddenly, everything matters.

This is the first book in a new series by this author.  What a way to kick it off!  Harper and Knox were fabulous!  They do the right things. Their hearts are on the right place. And after years of unrequited longing, they finally let themselves have all the feels! 

I loved the brotherhood of the hotshots. I loved the strong women who are holding down the homefront while their men go into danger. There are a few more interesting guys that deserve and HEA on this team.  I can't wait to see Ryker fall.  He doth protest too much about relationships! 

The epilogue sealed the deal for me!  Loved seeing all the good Harper and Knox did in behalf of this small town.  Truly good people. Very much in love. And good for each other. 

Great read!

Code Name: Revenge (Jameson Force Security, Book 9) Sawyer Bennett 

Release Date: April 19, 2022

  




When Kynan McGrath approached me about joining Jameson Force Security, I jumped at the chance. 

Just call me Dozer Burney, one half of the genius duo who keeps the team at the forefront of security technology. The move from NASA to Jameson also put me back on the east coast, closer to those who mean the most to me. 

 Jessica Anderson has been my best friend since college. A single mom who found herself mixed up with a dangerous man years ago, she’s been living a safe, quiet life in Miami after helping police put him behind bars. 

We both knew her safety, and that of her daughter, was reliant on him staying locked up. So when I see an alert that he’s escaped from his maximum security prison, I know where he’s heading to exact his revenge. 

 Now it’s a race against time to get to Jessica before he does. Protecting her with my life is easy, because there’s one thing I’ve never admitted to anyone, not even myself—I have been in love with Jessica Anderson since the day I met her. 

And if we both make it out alive, I’ll make sure she knows it every day for the rest of our lives.

Dozer has been in the background of each book in this series. The tech guru has skills and great humor. We finally get to see what his life has been like prior to joining Jameson force. This book takes us on the fast paces thrill ride we have come to expect form this author. It also gives us a great sense of the brotherhood that is Jameson Force.

When everything hits the fan, Dozer knows he could loose her and finally fesses up on his feelings for her. It doesn't take long for them to seal the deal.

It has been minute since I read this author. I do really enjoy her books. This one is about second chances. Chiara and Sebastian meet years earlier but she isn't in the frame of mind for anything more. He ends up marrying one of her best friends. She dies unexpectedly and their world is truly broken by this.

Chiara just refuses to even entertain getting to know Sebastian better. Her walls and dedication to her friend are built so high. SHe is rude to him and dismisses him even though he is just trying to be a good friend.

Both characters and the other two women in the story all need to heal and move on. Sebastian was the shining light here. He realizes the connection with Chiara and wants to build something with her. Chiara I wanted to strangle most of the time. It took her FOREVER to wrap her head around what was happening between her and Sebastian and the twist to their lives. When she finally excepts things and everything is out in the open, the story settles down a bit and becomes about the relationship between her and Sebastian.

It was a frustrating read for about 2/3 of the book. The last bit and the ending made up for that.

4.5 Stars!

Great start to a new series by this author. We know baby sister Eliza from her Montgomery series. THis one focuses on her 6 brothers. I admit allt he "E" names got confusing for me. I am sure as I learn more about them, their personalities and back story will make it easier.

This one kicks off with the CEO and oldest brother Eli. He and his wedding planner had a moment a couple of years ago but clearly their attraction hasn't waned. Alexis is in dire straights but wants this new job and the success of this family.

Loved the chemistry between the two even if we had to endure a bit of should we or shouldn't we because of their working relationship. A bit of tension due to Alexis's ex. And what the heck is Dodge up to??

I can't wait to watch this famil y grow and they each get an HEA. Great read!

This is the first ina new MC series by this author duo. It brings al the grit and brotherhood you expect form and MC book. This one has the added benefit of Sage and Juniper. Their friendship makes this book shine.

Sage is venturing out in the world with her bestie and opens a beauty shop in Salem Massachusetts. Through there adventures, they happen upon the club owned by the Fallen Ravens MC and get themselves in a bit of trouble. 

The Prez-Salem- is taken with Sage from the start and spends his time trying to convince her they are a good idea.  The are HAWT once they get together!  

I loved all the banter and the strong women in this story.  Salem is a good guy deep down but he doesn't always show it.  Sage cracks his shell and they are magic together when open and honest about what is happening.  

I figured the plot twist early on but that was ok.  Great MC read.  Pretty small group of guys to hold down the whole town.  Maybe we will see some new prospects come on in future books??  I am looking forward to seeing where this goes next.
