Release Blitz & Review: Grand Slam

 




GRAND SLAM

(Tennessee Terrors series)

by C.A. Harms

Release Date: June 17th


BLURB:


Kelton

My entire life, as far back as I can remember, I had a baseball in my hands. Baseball was the one true constant in my life. A game I've always loved, and I'm good at it.

So when my dream came true to play professionally, everything felt like it'd finally aligned. I dropped everything, but the hardest part, was leaving my family and those I love behind.

Emerson

He'd gotten the chance of a lifetime. So it would have been wrong for me to hold him back. I smiled, and wished him the best, pretending that watching him leave wasn't one of the hardest things I'd ever faced. I'd pretended, and done a great job at it, until I was invited to travel with a group of friends to watch him play.

Everything was different under all the lights, with the sounds of thousands of fans cheering. It was surreal, and when our eyes met, all those feelings I'd tucked away came rushing back.

How do I pretend that I don't still feel like Kelton James has my heart in his hands. How do I hold back, when he pulls me in for a hug. The familiar scent of his cologne taking me back to the last time he held me close.

Most importantly, how do I walk away a second time?

Review


This is the 5th book of the series. It has been great getting to know this team. Each author has brought us something special.  This is Kelton's story.  I love a good second chance romance and this one is perfect. 

Emerson and Kelton have some history. Thank goodness Kelton's sister Liz sees the best in both of them and finally pushes the issue. Kelton is a pro baseball player and Emerson is a small town girl. I loved that Kelton SEES her and knows what he has been missing out on. 

I liked how the author takes us on this journey with them. Some angsty moments but more related to young love and reacquainting themselves with each other. Kelton is so gone for Emerson. She settles him and quiets all the noise the big leagues have brought to his life. 

Great addition to the series!

Release Blitz & Review: The Fire We Crave

 



Title: The Fire We Crave
Series: Iron Outlaws MC: Colorado #3
Author: S. Cole
Genre: MC Romance
Tropes: Age Gap, Grumpy/Sunshine
Enemies to Lovers
Release Date: June 5, 2025


BLURB

From USA Today best selling author, Scarlett Cole, writing as S. Cole, comes an electrifying small town MC, grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers romance.

Quinn
Two things happened on my thirteenth birthday. My older sister went missing. And I told Smoke Callahan, the Iron Outlaws Road Captain, that it was his fault she was gone.

Fourteen years later, I still hate him.

But hate doesn’t keep me safe when the Bratva sets its sights on me.

I need protection. The kind only a ruthless, broken man like Smoke can provide.

So I make him an offer. I’ll help him recover from the burns that nearly cost him his life. In return, he keeps me breathing.

It should be simple. It isn’t.

Because the more time I spend in his orbit, the more I see the man behind the scars. The one who carries a past as heavy as mine. And when he looks at me, it’s not hatred I see in his dark eyes anymore.

It’s something far more dangerous.

Smoke
Quinn Moran was just a kid when she came at me, fists flying, blaming me for her sister’s disappearance. I let her. I deserved it.

Now she’s all grown up—sharp-tongued, stubborn as hell, and standing in my cabin, asking for my protection.

I should say no. I should send her away.

But I don’t. Because even if she still hates me, I’ll kill anyone who tries to hurt her.

Even if it means she learns the truth.

Even if it means she never forgives me.

Because she was never meant to be mine. But that won’t stop me from taking her.

EXCERPT

Smoke’s eyes drop to his chest, and he places his hand over mine.
“You’re okay, Smoke. So am I. It’s all okay.” The words are softly spoken. Soothing, like you would for a frightened child.
My heart hammers loudly in my chest, and it’s not just the adrenaline of the situation.
It’s the way I feel Smoke’s heartbeat beneath my palm. It’s the way his hand sits over mine, covering it completely, so strong and warm. It’s the way his thumb rubs over my fingers and the way his eyes darken with heat and arousal.
It’s his presence. The way we feel so…joined. His eyes raise to my lips as he runs his tongue over his lower lip.
Neither of us moves.
The world continues around us. Birds chirp, cicadas do their thing, but we’re stuck in a vortex. Swirling. Chaotic. All consuming.
“The prospects need to be protecting you,” he says finally.
But his voice is gruff, layered with nuance it’s impossible to interpret.
“And he was. Who was protecting you?”
“I don’t need protecting.”
I shake my head sadly. “I think you do.”
Smoke cups my cheeks before I have time to process, his hold firm.
“Fuck it,” he mutters, more to himself than to me, I think.
Then, he dips his head and kisses me.
And it’s everything I ever read about.
It’s angry yet filled with the kind of passion that sweeps you up and knocks you over into the tumble of a huge wave of emotion.
My treacherous body capitulates to every small movement.
His lips stroke my mouth; I open.
His hands wrap around my waist; I throw mine around his neck.
I struggle to see anything beyond the way he feels against me.
When I step up against him, his cock lengthens and hardens against my stomach. His whole body envelops me, showing just how disparate our size difference is.
He doesn’t ask. He takes. But I’m wholeheartedly a willing participant. If anything, I want more. Every part of my body meets Smoke. If he began to strip my clothes to take me on the parched ground, I’d let him.
“Quinn,” he mutters against my lips as his hands roam my body, familiarizing themselves with my shape.
I’m gentle where he’s injured, but I slide my hand beneath his cut, and I’m immersed in the scent of leather and tobacco and him.
“Shit. No,” Smoke says suddenly, lightly gripping my wrists before pushing me away from him.
The shift in his expression from need to disgust churns my stomach.
“I’m sorry,” I say, almost on autopilot, even though I’m not a hundred percent sure what I’m sorry for.
Hell, I’m not even sure how I fell headfirst into that kiss.
Smoke shakes his head. “Not your fault. Just—we can’t do that again.”
Unable to come up with anything else to say, I blurt one word: “Okay.”
Four letters that do absolutely nothing to convey the storm raging inside me right now.
“Okay,” he repeats.
But as I watch him stride into the house, ignoring the glass Shane left on the step, I know the fragile truce we were building is broken. And I wonder if we’ll ever truly be okay again.




Review

This is the 3rd book of a series. I am loving this MC and all the members! 

Smoke and Quinn have had interesting lives. They have always been on each others periphery.   It isn't until Quinn's life is in danger that they agree to calla truce to past feelings and support each other in the here and now. 

I love a good slow burn enemies to lovers story. Quinn has had her guard up for years around Smoke.  When the truth finally comes out, Quin starts to crumble but Smoke is right there giving her the courage she needs to face the past. 

Loved seeing the other couples. I love the small town atmosphere of this whole series.  Looking forward to reading more!

Release & Review: The Past

 




Blurb:

Before ascending the throne of the Blackburn Empire in Kentucky horse country, they were
just Tommy and Fiona, two teenagers from opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Young love
bloomed during an Irish summer set amidst the rolling green hills and lush pastures of
Tipperary County.


Fiona Conlan grew up sheltered by her overbearing parents and vibrating with the need for
something more. In the summer of 1978, she found exactly what she needed. Ready to test the
boundaries set for her, Fiona trained in the exhilarating and dangerous sport of
steeplechase, and in an even more rebellious move, started secretly dating a young and
brash American she knew her parents would never approve of.

Too much partying and not enough studying during his sophomore year of college had
Tommy Blackburn’s parents desperate to get the future heir of the family business to take life
a little more seriously. What better way to do that than to send him to Ireland to work at
Glenhaven, a massive thoroughbred and breeding operation run by a family friend. But
Tommy’s wild ways followed him across the pond and he couldn’t help but pursue the
beautiful redhead with fire in her eyes and a wild spirit just waiting to break free.

Tommy and Fiona fell hard and fast, a secret love built from stolen moments. Rife with drama
and disapproval, they overcame it all to set the stage for a new generation of Blackburns to
run their American Empire. Their epically romantic journey was anything but easy, but you
can’t get to the present without The Past.

The Past: A Blackburn Novel is an opposites attract, long distance love story within the Bluegrass Empires series. All books in the series can be enjoyed as standalones.

Review: 

4.5 stars

What a great addition to this series! Loved seeing how mom and dad met.

It had to start somewhere and why not in Ireland. Tommy and Fiona's story is a great love story standing on it's own. If you have read the Bluegrass series, it will be even more meaningful to you. Two strong characters with a ton of love between them.

I will be sad to leave the horse world behind. Thanks to the author for giving us just one more look at this great family.

A Good Book by Jewel E. Ann is now live!



Gabriella Jacobson has one goal for her freshman year of college: Get Matthew Cory to fall in love with her.

Lucky for Gabby, her best friend, Ben, is attending the same college on a music scholarship. He is the perfect resource—girls love him, and he's more experienced with relationships than her, since she’s never had a boyfriend.

When Gabby panics before her first date with Matt, she begs Ben to show her how to kiss. But Ben has a secret, one he’s been keeping from Gabby for years. He’s in love with her.

One kiss turns into two, leaving Gabby confused and scared that their friendship might not survive the unforeseen emotions. She avoids Ben until something unexpected changes his life forever, and he’s forced to drop out of school.

Gabby tries to contact him, but he won’t respond. And Matthew Cory, her sister’s ex-boyfriend and handsome law student, is ready to fill the void Ben left behind.

Now that Gabby has the man she thought she wanted, can she forget about the boy who kissed her twice?

Review

I love this author so I am always happy to review anything she writes. This one missed the mark for me.

I don't always look for coming of age stories but I don't think it was even their ages that rubbed me wrong. I think it was the absolute immaturity of Gabby and literally no one other than Ben stands up and says how ridiculous she is being about Matt.

i am also not a fan of love triangle and this one boarders on that.

I DNF at 50%. Again--love this author's work. This one did not stack up to her other books.

Release Blitz & Review: Spotlight

 



Spotlight by Rebecca Jenshak is now live!

One night—that’s all it was supposed to be. No names. No complications.

And now? He’s everywhere.

In every trending video.

In all the news headlines.

On every freaking billboard.

Turns out, he’s not just some guy. He’s Flynn Holland, Lake City’s new hotshot pitcher. The one that’s supposed to end our team’s fifty-year championship drought (the same way I’ve fantasized about him ending mine).

As if that weren’t bad enough, my daughter loves him and he’s the poster boy for my rival bookstore.

Flynn’s perfect smile is plastered all over town, selling their books, like some kind of traitorous golden boy—while he’s over here giving me his best game.

Pass. I’ve had enough heartbreak for two lifetimes.

But then he looks at me, and I forget how to breathe.

Not to mention, he’s so good with my little girl, it’s downright unfair.

He’s maddeningly gorgeous, ridiculously persistent, and dragging me straight into his spotlight.

I need him to stay away—before I do something I’ll regret.

Review

I haven't read the other books int his series but I love a good single parent trope and this one was awesome! Through is a little baseball to make it even more fun and I was all in! 

Single parent--not even on Flynn's radar. --nope not for him. Until he meets Olivia and then he is all in. The chase is on. Add in her charming daughter and his heartstrings wen ka-boing!  Great family supporting Flynn. 

Olivia and Flynn are full of great chemistry. We get to see a little baseball. And we get to feel all the love of family and friends. So happy these two got together.  I want to go back and read the other brothers books!

Release Blitz & Review: When We Break

 




From New York Times Bestselling author Kristen Proby comes When We Break, a small-town, cowboy, heroine in danger romance, set in Bitterroot Valley!


Beckett

I’ve seen the gorgeous redhead with the big black dog that never leaves her side around town. She’s impossible to miss with that lush red hair and perfect green eyes. But it’s when she opens her plump lips and the sound of Ireland comes out of her kissable mouth that I know I’m a goner. I know she’s the one for me and I’ll do whatever it takes to make Skyla Gallagher mine. I can be a patient man and all I want in the world is to worship every bit of her, inside and out.


Skyla

I moved to the lovely town of Bitterroot Valley, Montana because I needed a safe place. I left my life in New York as a prima ballerina after an injury that I never fully healed from, and to escape the obsession of a madman. I adore this new community, but I must admit that Beckett Blackwell is the very best part. I love his kindness, his patience, and his thoughtfulness. But most of all, I can’t get enough of the way he worships my body, and then does everything he can to pamper me afterwards. Beckett is a drug that I’ve become addicted to. But will my stalker find me in Montana, ruining everything we’ve started together, before we have had our chance at forever?

Tropes:
Small Town
Heroine in Danger
Best Friend's Brother
Faithful Protector (Riley the dog!)
Meet Cute
He Reads to Her
Irish Heroine


This is book two of this spin off series in Montana and once again the author does not disappoint! This may be one of my favorite couples she has written. Beckett and Skyla are just golden together.

I have a feeling all the Blackwell siblings are squishy softies at heart with a strong protective instinct. But Beckett just brings on all the charm as well. I don't think Skyla or her doggo Riley were prepared for Beckett Blackwell but they are so glad he is theirs.


Great small town feel once again by this author. She has the quirky characters down pat. I am looking forward to Skyla's brother trying to tame Billie Blackwell.


Great addition to this series!

I love a good second chance romance. And this one is a single parent trope as well. Sign me up!  Doc and Juliette are two hearts that belong together. Torn apart only to find each other again and find so many secrets on the way. 

I love that these two never really got closure and because of that, they are drawn even more toward each other. The ranch heals all things and these two deserve to find their HEA. 

Loved seeing Doc's family and the brotherhood support Juliette and her son. Loved seeing Doc fall in love all over again. Great setting as always. I want to just curl up and sit by the fire with all of them and listen to all the stories, 

Baby sister is still left to find her true love. I'm guessing Birdie has a whopper of a tale coming our way! 

Great addition to the series!

** SWAN SONG (The Ugly Duckling) **

Once upon a time, a swan egg rolled into a duck nest…

While visiting Washington, D.C., with his billionaire parents, four-year-old Ivan Stepanov is kidnapped from the National Zoo, vanishing without a trace.

Sold, abandoned, neglected and abused, “Vaughn” matures out of the American foster care system with little-to-no memory of who he is or where he came from. Eventually finding work as a janitor at the Kennedy Center, he starts to question if a life void of love, family and friendship is even worth living.

Ballerina Sasha Collins worked hard her entire life to earn a position in the esteemed corps of the Washington D.C. Ballet, which rehearses and performs at the Kennedy Center. Intrigued by the scruffy janitor who’s often reading Russian poetry, she offers him kindness on one of the darkest days of his life, giving him a reason to live.

As they fall desperately in love with one another, Vaughn and Sasha have no idea that their days together are finite. His birth family is growing closer and closer to finding him, a circumstance that will eventually tear them apart.

From the cherry blossomed avenues of Washington, D.C., to the snowy streets of Moscow, to the breathtaking beauty of London in the fall, these separated, star-crossed lovers will have to crisscross the globe to find each other again.

Then, he broke my heart. Or maybe we broke each other’s. Either way, it was over.

REVIEW

We FINALLY get Tweetie's story!  Well worth the wait. What a wonderful conclusion to this series. Tweetie has been hanging in the background, giving all his teammates advice and crap about being in love. And now, we finally get to know what has his insides twisting and turning. 

Tedi and he have a history and when Tedi has to come and promote Tweetie's hockey team for the league, they are destined to have to spend time together. Some secrets coem out. There is some angst. But in the end, true love never leaves your heart. 

I loved how the rest of the Nest supported Tedi and cheered on their relationship. Great to see all the couples together. Great ending to the series. I can't wait to see what happens with the Baseball guys in the next series.

Release Blitz: Faking it....at First



FAKING IT…AT FIRST
(Tennessee Terrors series)

by MJ Fields
Release Date: April 22nd







BLURB:


𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬—𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐎’𝐬—𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐤𝐞, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦.


DELILAH

Getting involved with the wrong label while rising to the top has threatened my career in ways I never saw coming. With the fear of being canceled and my debut album releasing soon, my new PR rep has just the solution: A perfectly staged, totally fake relationship, complete with public dates, hand-holding for the cameras, and a no-falling-in-love clause.

One season. No strings. No risk.

DAMIEN

I’m one of baseball’s top players, on the field and off. But now, my sponsors are breathing down my neck. Either I clean up my playboy image, or I may lose sponsors and millions of dollars. My agent suggests a fake relationship with country music’s newest sweetheart. Sounds good to me.

Faking it is easy … at first.

Between late-night songwriting sessions, fiery arguments that turn into something else, and a kiss that wasn’t meant for the cameras, the line between pretend and real starts to blur. And when the stakes get higher, Delilah and Damien have to ask themselves:

𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭 … 𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠?







Bases are loaded … but love is on the line.


Welcome to Music City Park, where the lights shine bright, the stakes are high, and the players of the Tennessee Terrors don’t just risk it all on the baseball field — they gamble with their hearts too.

From second-chance romance to forbidden love, grumpy meets sunshine to enemies to lovers, single moms and single dads, fake dating and opposites attract, these baseball stars are about to learn the game doesn’t end when the ninth inning does.

BLURB:

Evan
For the past few years, the only consistent thing in my life was getting my hair cut every few weeks. Grinding my way through the minor leagues meant spending many days on the road and moving at the drop of a dime. I never cared though. I was living my dream and playing the game I love.

When I finally make it to the show, I should have known my sister was up to something when she found me a hairstylist and even went as far as scheduling my appointments for the next few months.

Christy
I had no clue who would walk through the salon’s door after a woman called to schedule an appointment for her brother. She’d completely left out the fact that he had just moved to Nashville to play for the Tennessee Terrors baseball team as their new rookie left fielder.

Of course I notice the athletically fit, handsome man sitting in my chair, but I swore off dating any of my clients after the last one left me pregnant and alone.

My son is the best thing that’s ever happened to me, and I love that it’s just the two of us.

When the Terrors have an open batting session inviting families to come watch, catching a ball is the most exciting thing I think will happen, but when the cute guy on the field comes over to talk to my son, I see it's the same guy who sat in my chair today.

Diving Catch is the first book in a series of books with ten amazing authors about the Tennessee Terrors baseball team. All books have crossover characters but are stand-alone novels and can be read in any order.

Diving Catch is a single-mom, baseball romance that is sure to make your toes curl and put a smile on your face.

What a great way to kick off a series!  Love that we will get to see different authors all interact with this baseball team. Christy and Evan could not have had a more perfect meet cute! Everyone needs a haircut, right??  Evan was not prepared for Christy but is so glad his sister made the appointment for him 

Single parent is one of  my favorite tropes so this was a no brainer to read for me. Love the baseball action we get to see.  Evan is the star.  Absolutely a great guy and a great catch. He just needs to convince Christy to take a chance. 

I am looking forward to reading about some of the other players and their HEA. Great idea for a series!





Bases are loaded … but love is on the line.

Welcome to Music City Park, where the lights shine bright, the stakes are high, and the players of the Tennessee Terrors don’t just risk it all on the baseball field — they gamble with their hearts too.

From second-chance romance to forbidden love, grumpy meets sunshine to enemies to lovers, single moms and single dads, fake dating and opposites attract, these baseball stars are about to learn the game doesn’t end when the ninth inning does.

Batter up …

Let the season of love begin!

Release & Review: Immortal Sun

 



IMMORTAL SUN

Rachel Van Dyken

Release Date: March 24

Available in Kindle Unlimited





Discover a brand-new world where demons, vampires, fallen angels, gods, and fae roam the earth in modern day Seattle in a gripping romantasy from #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken. There isn't a lore that doesn't exist around Mt. Olympus, and nobody is safe from the wrath of the immortals who watch.

My only goal: Beat him at his own game.
His: Save the world and himself.

Thousands of people have disappeared from this world by way of his hand and the universe breathes for only one more drop of blood--mine.
He promised he would help me find my brother.
He lied.

I don't know why I immediately trusted Cyrus. He was stunningly gorgeous, nice, and so accommodating that maybe I felt too safe—maybe that was the first red flag.
The second was that he always said my missing twin was fine, that he'd come back when he was done traveling and that I should stay put until his return.
Looks are deceiving. And I forgot..

Now I'm completely screwed. I'm trapped here until the eclipse and the great Sun God says I'm the last sacrifice he has to make in order to ascend to Olympus. I have so many questions about the mixed mythology and each answer that crawls out of Seattle has me more terrified and confused than the first.

I'm surrounded by fallen angels, demons--basically every terrifying yet perfectly normal looking creature on the planet and working at a bar called Styx, counting the days until two of the very coins I take on a daily basis will be used to cover my travel.

Anubis seems nice enough but I don't want to die. There has to be a way and I'm hellbent on finding it even if it means I join the other side.

I have read several books by this author. PNR and Fantasy are my go to reads. This one sounded interesting to me. There was some unique world building. Cyrus is a god trying to get back to Mt Olympus and Cleo is looking for her brother so she heads to his last known address and meets not only Cyrus but all the other lesser gods and fallen gods that live there. 

That is about the gist of what I understood, I started reading and felt like I was missing some information. I was re-reading parts. I could not get the attraction between Cyrus and Cleo. It was not chemistry to see them argue back and forth with each other. 

There is a lot of history thrown in and I think it muddy the waters a bit. The book did not keep my interest for very long. I did muddle through and finally at about 75%, I gave up. 

I do love this author's works. This one is not a favorite. I don't think I will read any more int he series. 

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

Release Blitz & Review: Triple Power Play

 

Triple Power Play by Jessica Lyn is now live!






The moment I laid eyes on Aurora, I knew she was mine…

That still didn’t stop me from screwing up our relationship.

Now she’s single again and on the cover of Sports Illustrated for the entire world to see.

But it’s only when I witness the way she looks at Ethan Blackwood that I decide to get clean. No more alcohol or drugs. Leave my temper on the ice.

And as much as I hate Ethan, my new coach is the only one who can stop the destructive influence my corrupt father has over me and my hockey career.

When I bump into Aurora out of the blue, it feels like destiny. Until I learn she’s pregnant. Everyone thinks the baby is mine, except I know the truth. It can’t be.

It’s Ethan’s, and he’s refusing to walk away. But if anyone discovers our secret, it will destroy both our careers and the team.

So, I’ll play the game. And everyone knows that Jackson O’Reilly always plays to win…

Triple Power Play is the first book in a dark why choose hockey romance series featuring two irresistible heroes who will do anything to win the woman they both love.

This is my first read of this author. I was intrigued by the synopsis. It's been a bit since I read this trope.
The set up was great. We meet the characters and get into their heads right away.  Aurora and Jackson were great. It got all muddled for me when Aurora and Jackson are apart and she is traveling as a model. There were some editing issues and timing concerns for me. 

The action was in your face but boy did we jump around a lot--months, weeks. I was back tracking to make sure I didn't miss something. 

Ethan seemed very much like Jackson to me--just older. I wasn't feeling much between the three of them other than the s3x. I think there could have been some more character development and a stretch to the story. 

Not great for me. A quick read and might be interesting for other folks. 

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