Blog Tour & Review: My Bad







Hoax knows two things very well.

One, he’s not relationship material. Two, the nurse that treats him for erectile dysfunction is the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen, and practically has ‘the marrying type’ stamped on her forehead.

Does that stop him from wanting her? No.

Unfortunately, he learned a long time ago that Army Delta Force and long-lasting relationships don’t go hand in hand.

But beautiful hazel eyes, curly blonde hair, and the prettiest lips he’s ever seen play havoc with his resolve, making him forget his earlier convictions.

All it takes is one teeny, tiny kiss for every shred of control he has to disappear, along with the problem in his pants.

Soon he finds himself doing things that he knows that he shouldn’t. He doesn’t know that he’s found the woman that’s meant to be his. Nor does he realize that her father is the man he’s idolized from the moment he joined the army at the age of eighteen. Because, maybe if he had, he would’ve tried a little harder to ignore the pull he felt between them instead of making her his the night before he deployed for six months.

He also might’ve tried a little harder not to knock her up.

I am loving this series so much!  Although it says Bear Bottom MC, most of the books are about the romance between the main characters and very little about the MC.  I say that up front not because the book is bad, but go in with the expectation of reading a really good book and not on what the MC part of the story is. 

We have met Hoax and Pru in previous books.  They bump into each other at the hospital where Pru works and Hoax just can't get her out of his head.  She actually knows some of his crazy family and of course his brothers in the MC.  But Pru doesn't make it easy for Hoax.  And what follows is a super sweet, totally romantic and somewhat humorous wooing of Pru.

You'll sit down and read this one straight through.  Interesting characters, perfect banter and lots of loving.  Hoax could not be more alpha than he is but boy can that man make a girl swoon.  Loved it all!

Anton by Brenda Rothert

Releasing January 29

Chicago Blaze, #1

Pre-order on Amazon | Nook | Kobo | Apple Books

He’s known as Father Anton to his teammates—the brooding, sexy captain of the NHL’s Chicago Blaze has a reputation for…not having a reputation. Just like his diet and sleep routines, celibacy is part of Anton Petrov’s on-ice mojo. Or so they say. Anton stays mum on the subject. If the world thinks he chooses to abstain from sex, so be it. Better that than the truth getting out: there is a woman he burns for, but he can never have her. She’s his teammate’s wife, after all.

Mia Marceau is finally on her own. Now that she and her husband are living apart, she’s finding the peace she was desperate for. She spends her days in classes and late nights bartending, making her own way in the world at last. After what she’s been through, as long as her husband leaves her alone, she doesn’t plan to rock the boat. He still has the power to hurt those dearest to her, and she can’t demand a divorce with such a high cost.

A chance encounter with Mia has Anton hoping for a shot he never thought he’d get. And while she’s drawn to the intense, serious hockey center, Mia’s leery about playing with fire. That’s all Anton has ever known for Mia, though—a living, burning desire that won’t be denied—no matter the cost.

Release Blitz & Review: Shamrock





Title: Shamrock
A Linear Tactical Standalone

Author: Janie Crouch
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: December 4, 2018




Every mission has a price.

He never meant for her to pay it.


Aiden has never left anyone behind. Not a comrade and certainly not an innocent. But when an undercover mission goes wrong, he's forced to abandon a woman trapped in a human trafficking ring.

Violet learned brutally that no one is promised a happy ending. She knows Aiden blames himself for his part, but she refuses to let her abduction define the rest of her life.

She won't be a victim again. And she's going after what she wants: Aiden.

Watching Violet transform herself into a fierce warrior is the sexiest thing Aiden has ever seen. The honorable plan would be to stay away from her--let her heal and grow without the shadow of his mistakes clouding her progress--even though every instinct tells him to claim her for his own.

But when they discover the danger they thought they'd left behind is closer than ever, they'll have to face their deepest fears and fight side-by-side in order to survive.

Excerpt

Violet knew what she wanted.
No more being passive. No more agreeing to what might in fact be good for her but wasn’t what she really wanted.
“You respect me,” she said gently.
The relief flashed and Aiden’s hazel eyes. “Yes. I have nothing but respect for you.”
“Thank you,” she whispered, trailing her fingers through his thick hair. “And thank you for getting me home safely last night. And like I said before, thank you for getting me out of that hellhole a month ago, for figuring out that I was in trouble when to anyone else it just looked like a normal part of that situation.”
His brows furrowed. “You’re welcome for all those things. But there’s no need—”
She put her finger up to his lips. “I just wanted to say it one more time to make sure I’d been clear. Because now I’m done saying thank you. And I think you better take me inside. Otherwise, Mrs. Mazille and her neighborhood watch might get quite an eyeful with what I’m planning to do to you.”
There was only so much a man could take. A line where he snapped. A great deal of his Special Forces training had been spent learning how to push that line as far back as possible.
But when Violet’s fingers reached for the hem of the T-shirt covering her body and began pulling it off, Aiden found his line very clearly.



This is the third book in the series and I think the best so far.  We have meet Aiden "Shamrock" Teague in the previous books but don't know much about him.  This book takes place overlapping time periods with the previous book but from Aiden's POV. 

If you aren't hooked by the first chapter on this one, you should just set it aside. The author touches subjects that aren't easy to handle. Through all of the ugly, though, we get to see the incredible character of the man Aiden. And even better, we witness the strength of character in Violet. Aiden recognizes it. And it weighs heavy on his mind that he was not able to get her away the first time they meet. 

Linear Tactical does what they do best as part of their covert work. Great amount of suspense in this one. Violet holds strong. It was wonderful to see her come into her own even when those around her want to coddle and protect.  Way to go after your dreams, Violet! 

Loved seeing the rest of the team again. Really liked all the little clues dropped about possible couples to come. Can't wait to read more!
