Release Blitz & Review: Tempting Promises

 






What happens in the woods, doesn't always stay in the woods ...


Tempting Promises by Corinne Michaels is now live!



What’s the worst thing you could do when you’re stranded in the woods with your rival? Sleep with him. That’s what.

Not only is Rowan Whitlock my sister’s ex, but we’re both vying for the contract that would save my family farm.

So why did it have to be Rowan who came to the rescue after I fell on a remote hiking trail? When the weather turned unexpectedly, we were forced to find shelter and ride out the storm. Only that wasn’t the only thing I ended up riding.

We promise ourselves what happens at the cabin stays at the cabin, but when we get back to Sugarloaf, it’s impossible to stay away from him. Those blue eyes captivate me, his strong body comforts me, and he makes me feel beautiful.

Which is crazy, right?

If only my stupid head would listen and stop this before my heart gets involved, but I keep going back because I’m already in too deep.

I should’ve known that the temptation wasn’t worth the risk because when it all falls apart, our promises are broken, and I’m afraid my heart will never recover.

This is the third book of the series and could be read as a stand alone. But the sibling teasing and the small town flavor will be so much more enjoyable if you have the history from the previous stories. 

This is Rowan's book. Self proclaimed never relationship man. Enemies to lovers with the neighboring farm.  So much fun to watch these two navigate their feelings. I honestly have not laughed out loud in a book for quite some time.  The banter between Charlotte and Rowan and between their friend group was priceless.  

Loved the ending and the epilogue.  Just baby sister left to find her HEA and I am all in on this family. 

Grab the whole series!

Release Blitz & Review: Nothing But it All

 



What can mend a marriage in trouble? Two meddling kids, one grandfather, and a mischievous puppy.


Nothing But It All by Adriana Locke is now live!




From USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke comes a warm and romantic novel about a marriage in trouble, two conspiring kids, and the meaning of long-lasting love.

After twenty years, the cracks in Lauren Reed’s marriage are showing. She and her husband, Jack, feel more like roommates than a loving couple. What they have in common are two wonderful teenagers, Michael and Maddie, and the same wistful question: When did it all go wrong? Now that Lauren’s decided to get on with her life—alone—divorce is inevitable.

Not to the kids. They aren’t giving up so easily.

Michael and Maddie have conspired with their grandfather to bring everyone together for a vacation in the family’s favorite summer getaway, a rustic lakeside cabin in Story Brook, Ohio. Awkward? Yep. A little deceptive? Sure. But as far as traps go, Lauren and Jack agree—the meddlers couldn’t have set one that was more scenic or filled with so many bittersweet memories.

This trip is going to be life-changing for the whole family. Fourteen days of hope, heartbreak, and unexpected possibilities—like maybe falling in love all over again.

It's been a minute since I read this author. She doesn't disappoint in the single parent small town trope. This was a quick read for me but full of all the small town character that warms your heart reading this book. 

Chase needs a nanny. Between his father and Madison's parents, they get the two connected. Neither one wants or admits to wanting a relationship. Both have just left horrible ex's. But chemistry is powerful with these two. 

Soon they are boss with benefits and that  follows with hearts getting tangled. There is a little bit of tension near the end. Loved the boys and both Chase and Madison;s relationships with them.  I loved all the friends and the meddling parents. 

Great sweet read!  More to come in this series it looks like as well.

Expensive. Powerful. And entirely f’d up.

That sums up the pretentious – but elite – circle I grew up in. As much as I hate it, this life has its perks. If I want it, it’s mine. It’s as simple as that. Until she showed up; she’s a tempting little vixen I’m not allowed to have. 

One intense night changed it all between us, threatening to shatter everything we know. She came up with a lie. I came up with a cover. Because the truth is… I can’t keep my hands off her and one night would never be enough.  



I picked this book up because I love the authors. I'm not sure if I read the synopsis ahead or not.  I am not usually a fan of the student/teacher trope. That said, I could not get into this couple. There was lots of steam between the two. In fact the whole premise starts off with them getting busy somewhere they shouldn't have. 

I also felt like I was starting the story in the middle. I was playing catch up as to what was going on and who all the players were.  The couple just acted so indifferent to each other most of the time. I could not connect with them. 

Again, I do enjoy reading these authors. I am hoping this is just a one off for me.

Release Blitz & Review: Through The Glen

 



Through the Glen by Samantha Young is now live!




He’s a cynical, world-weary Londoner. She’s a shy Scot. They might seem like opposites, but a few weeks in the Highlands will bring them together in ways they can’t imagine…

Theo Cavendish is the second son of a British viscount, and he’s spent years running from the aristocratic world he grew up in. Betrayal and loss taught him lessons he’s not quick to forget. As an award-winning screenwriter and creator, Theo prefers to throw himself into the world of film and television. He moves from one project to another, never really letting anyone truly know him.

As a housekeeper at the exclusive Ardnoch Estate, shy Sarah McCulloch feels invisible most days. No one really knows her, and they definitely don’t know she’s a bestselling crime writer. She dreams of seeing her series on screen and believes only one person can develop it for television. On the day she quits the estate for good, she shares her secret with club member, Theo, and asks him to consider her books.

Sarah never expected him to say yes or to show up on her doorstep ready to write with her. Or that weeks spent locked up in her cottage would lead them to form an intense but undeniable connection. A bond that Theo is not sure he’s ready to accept, even though he can’t bear to be without her.

However, when they finally venture out of their bubble, Theo finds he’ll have to battle more than his own demons to protect Sarah from hurt. For he has another fan, one intent on bringing the darkest elements of his most famous script to life. And unless he can figure out this real-life antagonist’s next move, Theo could be in danger of losing Sarah forever.

What a wonderful addition to this spin off of the Ardnoch Estate series.  We have met Theo and Sarah in previous books.  This is their HEA.  

Both MC are in the entertainment industry. Sarah writes novels and Theo produces and writes for TV. Their personalities could not be more different. Admittedly, their first meeting did not go well.  But Theo has a change of heart. The two of them spend some time together away from the public eye. 

Friendship grows into something more.  As will all books in the series there is an underlying mystery/suspense. This one does as well.  We aren't on the estate much and don't see many of the familiar faces there. But that is ok.  We get another look at a whole new setting in Scotland. 

Great addition to the series. Well worth the read!
