I admit that the reality show trope is not my favorite. But Hunter and Isabella made me a believer!  Maybe because it truly is a second chance romance set in a realty show--it makes it more palata lbe. Or maybe it's just the beautiful setting, wonderful family and hilarious secondary characters! 

You have to meet this family and enjoy the ride.  Hunter is book 3 but you could easily pick it up as a first read.  Some spoilers but You will love meeting the Stewarts.  

Isabella and Hunter were meant to be. She fought it for over a year but it was easy to see the chemistry was off the charts.  I am so glad they came to there senses and worked out how they could be together. Great addition to the series.  Looking forward to more of the siblings getting their HEA's. 

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Release Blitz & Review: The One I Left Behind

\

The One I Left Behind by Piper Rayne is now live!

It’s the classic story—boy goes off into the world to fulfill his dreams and leaves the girl behind.

Not every boy returns home, and I wish Ben Noughton wouldn’t have come back to our small ranching town at all after he retired from playing professional football.

I figure it’s a quick layover for him. He always wanted out of this town and off his family’s ranch. I just have to bide my time until he turns his back on all of us again.

Then he takes on the coaching position for the high school football team and starts milling around too much, bulldozing the protective walls I’ve built around myself. But he goes too far when he takes my son under his wing to help him be the best player he can be. Leaving me to protect not only my own heart but my son’s too.

Because I promised myself a long time ago that I’d never be the girl in the rearview mirror again.

This book had all the right stuff from beginning to end.  Small town, second chance romance, first loves, single parent, throw in some football just for fun!  Loved the whole thing.  I haven't read Piper Rayne in quite awhile so it was a fresh read for me as well. 

We meet the Noughton family and all the small town crazies that make life wonderful. Ben and Gillian were once the IT couple until he made it int he NFL.  As he comes back home, he not only navigates Gillian but also his family and the support they continues to give even in his absence. 

Just a great feel good read. I am looking forward to meeting the rest of the siblings--and maybe dad too???  And of course catching up with Ben and Gillian.  Great start to a series!

Release Blitz & Review: Pulse

 

Pulse by Adriana Locke is now live!

USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke delivers a spicy, age gap, grumpy sunshine, workplace romance in the first book in the brand new Landry Security series.

Troy Castelli acts like it’s my fault that we’re cooped up together in a room with one bed overlooking the ocean. I didn’t ask for a stalker to break into my house and then send me a threatening email detailing my demise. And I sure as heck didn’t request that my boss send Troy and his uber elite bodyguard skills to accompany me out of town—although I’m not mad about it.

A paid tropical vacation with a grumpy, gray-eyed bad boy in a suit isn’t exactly a burden.

But it is a giant test of my willpower.

Troy’s alpha protector tendencies drive me wild. His arrogant smirk gets under my skin. But it’s his not-so-innocent touches, heated looks and touch-her-and-die vibes that are the final strike that ignite our explosive chemistry.

The longer we’re together, the more his broody exterior slips, and I get a glimpse of the real man beneath the sculpted muscles. I’m determined not only to unearth his mysterious past but also to make him realize what we have is more than just a fling in paradise.

That is, unless my stalker gets me first.

This author is always good at bringing the banter and humor to her stories. I think she went over the top on this one.  Dahlia and Troy are so wrong they are right.  I loved every single scene with them.  I loved the sass, I loved the chemistry, I loved the blossoming love.  So great all around.

It's never bad when the author gives us more Lincoln Landry!  He show up in this book, too.  this book has a bit of suspense to it.  It has a bit more than she has given us in other books.  A bit more danger. It all worked. 

Great read! Great look at Landry Security.  I can't wait to read more!

Release Blitz & Review: Skies Over Caledonia

 

Skies Over Caledonia by Samantha Young is now live!

He’s a down-to-earth highland farmer. She’s the rebellious daughter of Hollywood royalty. They might seem like they’re from different worlds, but that won’t stop them from engaging in a marriage of convenience…

It’s been five years since Jared McCulloch’s grandfather Collum passed away and he inherited his farm in the Scottish Highlands. After his grandad saved him from his past life, Jared is determined to honor Collum’s legacy. But not only has a series of bad luck put him in danger of losing the farm, his estranged father is disputing the will. In a desperate situation, Jared realizes he’ll do just about anything to save the land.

Even marrying Allegra Howard, a woman he’s avoided at all costs.

A woman who tempts him beyond reason.

There’s only one place that makes Allegra Howard feel safe; one place that feeds her artist’s soul. Allegra wants to settle down in Scotland and expand her business. But there’s a hitch: immigration intends to return her to US soil.

Panicked, Allegra finds the one person just as desperate as she is. The same person she’s lusted after for years. In exchange for marrying her, she’ll invest financially in Jared McCulloch’s farm.

However, living together only forces them to acknowledge their searing mutual attraction. And with it comes an undeniable emotional connection Jared’s not sure he’s ready for.

Yet, blurring the lines of their arrangement is the least of his concerns when someone begins terrorizing the farm.

Allegra and Jared came together to save what matters most and now that might just be each other. And unless they can figure out which of their pasts has returned to torment them, they could lose their chance at a real future together...

I was looking forward to Jaren in Allegra's story after the brief scenes we had of them in the previous book.  The author did not disappoint!  What a lovely slow burn, grumpy/sunshine book.  Jared was the hero he needed to be. 

I loved seeing both their stories unfold. What started as a convenience turned into a self awakening and an ability to forgive themselves.  I continue to love this setting in Scotland. this book took us right into the farmlands and the description of not only the hard work but the beauty of the land.  

It was great to see previous couples from this spin off.  Allegra's friend, Jared's cousin. Everyone hoping with fingers crossed that these two were for real. Great addition to the series.

I've been waiting for Tate's book since we first met her. This is just a brief peek  at what I am sure is going to be a sizzling romance with lots of action! 

Wylder is a single dad and Tate has sworn off men. But the chemistry between these two when they meet if off the charts. It helps that the whole neighborhood and all of Tate's family are wishing these two together.

Sweet novella. I can't wait for the full story to come!

Release Blitz & Review: I Thought of You

                              

I Thought of You by Jewel E. Ann is now live!

I wanted to conquer the world.

She wanted to gaze at the stars.

It’s been twelve years since I last saw Scottie Rucker. A grim prognosis has upended my life, and no amount of my hard-earned money can fix it. So, after leaving a note on the nightstand, I search for my first love—I search for life.

When I find her in Austin, working at a quaint general store and living in an RV behind it, those twelve years vanish. She’s exactly how I remember her.

Scottie thinks our reunion is a small-world coincidence, and I’m not ready to tell her the truth. After we rekindle our friendship, she convinces me to work part-time at the store while she pursues her budding relationship with Koen, a welder and the grandson of a customer.

Scottie’s ability to live in the moment is exactly what I need. But how do I convince her new boyfriend that I’m not his competition? And what happens if my heart changes its mind?

I love the unique writing of this author. Her books are always twisty and full of emotions.  She is a one click author for me--always. This book by the blurb purports to be one thing but reading it and getting in the weeds, it morphs into something more. 

I am not a fan of love triangle so I was put on edge when we immediately meet Price and Scottie and then Koen comes into the picture. And we hear Price's thoughts on Scottie but see Scottie falling for Koen. It just set me off from the start. And in the end it really isn't a love triangle at all. 

I could not connect with Price. I wanted to cheer for him but then thought Koen was the better man. I don't know. My emotions were all over the place on this one. Beautiful words on paper but the actual meat of the story just fell flat for me. 

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Jewel is a Wall Street Journal & USA Today bestselling author with a quirky sense of humor. When she's not saving the planet one tree at a time, you can find her role modeling questionable behavior to her three boys, binge-watching Netflix with her husband, and writing mind-bending romance.
