KEANU

Selena played me.

Confirming I wasted years loving someone who didn’t love me back. It should be easy to move on, but since she dumped me, I can’t shake her from my thoughts, no matter how hard I try.

Dates and random hookups don’t help, because no one measures up to the girl I still love with my whole heart.

When she appears at my door, begging me for help, I can’t turn her away. My protective instincts kick in, and I grasp this second chance with both hands.

This time, I’m determined to open her eyes. To help her realize she made a mistake throwing what we had away.

To prove our love is the real deal.

SELENA

Keanu has it all wrong.

I let him go because I love him too much to continue holding him back.

And I’ve paid for it every day since.

I didn’t think it was possible to miss someone this much, but my entire being aches for him in a way that isn’t healthy.

It’s why I continue to keep my distance even though it’s killing me inside.
No one understands me the way he does, so, when my ugly past returns, threatening to undo years of progress, he’s the first person I run to.

If anyone can keep me safe, it’s the love of my life.
Maybe, this time, I’m strong enough to be the woman he deserves.

If my past doesn’t take me from him first.

Biker Beauties-Release Blitz and Review

BLURB:

From Audrey Carlan, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Calendar Girl series.

Biker Babe (Biker Beauties #1)

Princess. That’s what the club calls me. I’m not frilly, into pink, or expect a man to woo me with chocolates and flowers. I don’t need candlelit dinners and long walks on the beach.

I’m not the girl you take home to your parents. I like wild, fun, and good times. I’m the kind of girl you put on the back of your bike and ride through the night…in more ways than one.

I like the wind in my hair and the open road before me. I was born a biker princess and I’ll be one until the day I die. The man in my life can try to tame me, but he’ll have one hell of a fight on his hands. Though if he wins, he’ll get the ultimate prize…all of me. Devoted. His old lady through thick and thin.

So when I opened my store, aptly named Biker Babe, I didn’t expect to have the biggest, sexiest, most jaw-dropping man walk in and set my world on fire. I wanted him instantly. Only problem, my father is the president of the Hero’s Pride MC, and Taggart “Rex” Crawford is his new Vice President.

Our Pride likes to live wild and ride free but everyone knows the president’s daughter is off limits.

***

Biker Beloved (Biker Beauties #2)

The day I found out I was going to be a father was the scariest, most shocking moment of my life. Worse, my brand new baby girl was dropped off in the arms of my motorcycle club, abandoned by her mother while I was fighting in Afghanistan. Of course, I did what I had to do, and returned home as soon as possible.

At this point in my life, women were the last thing on my mind. I could easily pick up one at the bar or partake of the many club girls vying for The Pride’s attention.

Then she entered my sights.

Anya Markova.

It was her eyes I noticed first. Bright blue and haunted. They spoke of a sadness I wanted nothing more than to whisk away. My first attempt at wooing her didn’t go well. Anya wasn’t the type of girl I could just pick up. She was the type I’d need to court…relentlessly.

When I found out Anya was my daughter’s much-admired ballet teacher, I knew exactly what I had to do—and I wasn’t above using my daughter’s love of her new teacher to make it happen. Because throughout my years in the club, serving my country, traveling the world, I’d never met a woman who made my soul sigh the way she did.

Now, I’ll stop at nothing to make this stunning ballerina my old lady.


The Biker Beauties is a collection of interconnected standalone novellas. They can be read out of order if desired. They are high in heat, but don’t forget the sweet.

My Review:
My Rating: 3.5 stars


Both books are very insta-lust and insta-love. While I normally don't care for those types of books I truly did enjoy these two stories.

Biker Babe is about Shay, the daughter of the president of the "Hero's Pride Motorcycle Club." Shay has always been the Princess of the club, which means she has some very overprotective extra family members. Shay just opened her own store called "Biker Babe" to help gain some independence and show her family she isn't a little girl anymore. Rex Crawford is the new VP of the Motorcycle Club after leaving his chapter in California. The first time Rex sees Shay he wants her and will do whatever it takes to get her. Rex is definitely an alpha that will have you swooning. Trying to make the princess his old lady is no easy task, but Rex will do anything have Shay. My rating for this book is 3 stars. It took me a little bit of reading to get used to the style of writing for this book, but I rarely read motorcycle books so that may be it.


Biker Beloved is about Shay's twin brother's story. Shane "Whip" is a single dad trying to provide and be the best day for his daughter. Shane works at the clubs bar when Anya walks in with her best friend and it was love at first sight, except Anya is struggling to truly live her life. Anya used to be a company ballerina until she was injured. Now she's a dance teacher who is trying to find a new normal in her life. When Shane finds out Anya is his daughter's ballet teacher and how she is with his daughter he knows she's the missing piece in their lives. Anya isn't used to biker's and their dominating attitudes and going after what they want. Anya and Shane are super cute together and I liked that Anya talked about how fast everything was moving, even though it seems to be the norm with these biker men. My rating for this book is 3.5 stars.

The Set-Up- Release Blitz and Review


The Setup, an all new contemporary romance by #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken, is LIVE!

BLURB:

The first day she was sitting by herself — I felt sorry for her. After all, it couldn't be easy wrangling all the testosterone at Wingman Inc as one of the only female office managers.

The second day she literally counted her carrots during break — she had seven by the way, right along with seven sips of her drink in between taking seven tiny little bites of the first carrot.

Now I'm not one to brag, or maybe I am, but math and science fascinate me, so do problems. And this woman screamed puzzle from the way she ducked her head every time anyone looked at her, to the way she counted food and tapped the table when she didn't think anyone was watching.

I'd like to think I took pity on her that day when, in fact, she was the one that took pity on me and asked if I needed a friend. She assumed I had a learning disability since I'd been staring so damn hard.

Things would have ended there, except, my bosses need someone to test the new Wingman App and since I was the only single guy on the floor — I was nominated, right along with the only single woman, the same one who thinks I need to use my fingers to count.

Apparently rumors of my sexcapades throughout college reached even her ears, because she wants nothing to do with me, which makes beta testing a bitch. I have thirty days to win her over and prove myself to my bosses.

One thing's for certain, I'm going to have to buy a hell of a lot of carrots.

My Review:

My Rating: 4 stars


Finn is the last "Pleasure Pony" to finally make it downtown working at Wingmen, Inc. What happens when he gets paired up with the office manager to test the new Wingman App before it's release? This book has lots of humor, so many of Rachel's favorite  characters, such as Grandma Nadine (one of my favorite characters), Ian, Lex, Knox, Leo and Slater. The boy are all back together and wreaking havoc on Finn and Jill. Jill has known and had a crush on Finn since college, but since he was a "pleasure pony" he really didn't pay attention to the opposite sex although he's now got his sights on Jill. 

I would love PassionFlix to finish the The MatchMaker's replacement so we can get these books made into movies too. I enjoyed the chemistry between Finn and Jill and the book just flowed well. I wish we would have received an extended epilogue, but that's just me being greedy. If you are looking for a book with hot chemistry, laughter, a woman who doesn't fall down at a guys feet, a guy doing everything he can to get his girl and more humor this book is for you!

About Rachel:

Avoiding Temptation- Release Blitz and Review

Avoiding Temptation, an all new contemporary romance in the Bro Code series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel VanDyken, is LIVE!

BLURB:

I hit on her first.

Realized she was my best friend Finn's little sister second.

And got a bloody nose third — compliments of Finn after he watched me nearly score
with the new underclassman.

After all I did have a reputation on campus, word on the street was that a girl could
orgasm within one minute just watching me eat Lucky Charms.

You can't make this stuff up — even though it was at least four minutes and included
outside circumstances. Ahem, I digress.

Point is, not only did I earn the attention of the worst sort of girl for me — my best
friend's only sibling — but now she's out to seduce me.

Me! One of the most famous Pleasure Ponies of them all!

I can't shower — she follows me to the bathroom. Literally.

I can't sleep — Lucky me, she lives in the same dorm.

And I can't focus on anything except for her taunting eyes every single time something
goes her way.

I want her, but I don't want her to know I want her, and I definitely don't want to die
before graduation, which is looking more and more likely considering we can't keep our
hands off each other.

Something's gotta give, and I have an inkling I should probably start writing my eulogy
now because that something is probably going to be me.

My Review:
My Rating: 4 stars


Finn and Slater are at a party when he meets Tatum. Not knowing it's Finn's sister, Slater flirts with her and ends up making out with her. As soon as he finds out Tatum is Finn's little sister he tries to do the noble thing and leave her alone, except now she's their new roommate and she doesn't want Slater to leave her alone. As Slater tries to keep his hands and other parts off his best friend's little sister the chemistry between the two spark higher as they fight to keep their hands off each other.

This is the third book in the Bro Code Series, but can be read as a standalone. I felt as if this book flew by as I read about Slater and Tatum. Slater keeps trying to do his best not to put his hands on Tatum, but I love that Tatum knows she wants Slater and just keeps tempting his self-control. Tatum goes after what she wants and even as the two fight their attraction to each other they get to know each other better on a deeper level.

 I loved seeing Rachel's older characters in this book such as Grandma Nadine, and other from the Bet, hearing about Knox and even a dinner scene with Kora and Leo. This book reminded me what I love from Rachel because this one the ending didn't seem as rushed as Seducing Mrs. Robinson. I can't wait to watch Finn get smacked by Cupid next.

Seducing Mrs. Robinson- Release Blitz

Seducing Mrs. Robinson, an all new contemporary romance by #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken, is LIVE!



Blurb:
We've all been there, some more than others, you know what I'm talking about, where you have the hots for the new business teacher.

I was one hundred percent that guy. I shamelessly flirted with her my senior year, only earning her irritation more and more. On graduation, I stood up to her husband after he got violent, and I'll never forget the look in her eyes when she told me it wasn't my place.

Fast forward to my senior year of college and what do you know, the new adjunct professor is the one and only Mrs. Robinson, she's eight years older than me and smoking hot. Did I mention divorced?

She looks at me like I'm trouble, and I'm only happy to deliver on that promise. I'm going to show her how a real man treats a woman and use every weapon in my Pleasure Pony arsenal to do it.

My Review:
My Rating: 4 stars

Leo has had a crush on Mrs. Robinson since he saw her his Senior Year of high school. Of course being a cocky high school student Leo gets on Kora's nerves during high school until graduation when her husband is being a dick and Leo steps in. Kora thinks she will never see Leo again, but fate has other plans when she takes a position to cover a class at Leo's college. Now Kora is trying to rebuild her life after her marriage has fallen apart and the cocky annoying high school boy she remembers is now a man. After a particular bad night Kora decides to sign up for the Wingmen services, after all, the guys can't date their clients so the way that Leo is eyeing her up will have to stop right? Leo has crushed on Mrs. Robinson since he was in high school and now that she's available he will do anything in his power to show her he's the guy for her.  I did think that things in the end went a little too fast too soon, but the leading up to that point was paced well. I liked that Rachel also didn't focus too much on the age difference, it was only 8 years, and maturity level they were around the same age.This was a cute story and while Kora has a lot of issues to work out it had a great balance of humor, sexy times and did a great job of dealing with important issues.

Humbugged-Release Blitz

Humbugged by Pippa Grant & Lili Valente
Released: December 10, 2019


BLURB

He’s the world’s most alpha Marine and the last man I should be letting jingle my bells this holiday season.

So why does Clint O’Dell keep running through my thoughts wearing nothing but a Santa hat? And why do I stupidly agree that we should be Christmas friends with benefits?

Someone must have spiked my eggnog.

I don’t do Marines.

Or Santas.

I learned my lesson about both the hard way.

But when Clint steps in to rescue me—from a murderous goose, a rogue reindeer, and the ghost of Christmas Right Now causing trouble in my bakery—I can’t help but wonder if we’re meant to be more than friends.

If maybe Clint is the holiday miracle I’ve been praying for…or if all the magic will disappear with the season.

Humbugged is a laugh out loud holiday romp featuring a Marine with a heart of gold and a baker in need of a hero. Complete with the world's most awkward Christmas caroling, a photoshoot with furry friends, and more naughty baked goods than is good or decent.

The first time I meet the wolf’s cold eyes, we’re at a college party.

Maybe you like the dark more than you think.
I just quit the cheer squad. I’m about to dump my musician boyfriend. I’m partying harder than ever. I let money run through my fingers because I’m done reaching for standards I’ll never meet.

Waking Up Married- Release Blitz

Waking Up Married by Lisa Suzanne
Release Date: December 13, 2019


BLURB

I’ve never seen Emily Clarke as anything more than my little sister’s best friend.

One drunken mistake later, she’s my wife.

My first thought is how to get out of this, except our wedding video has gone viral and record sales are skyrocketing. My manager thinks following the newlyweds on the second season of my band’s reality show will keep up the momentum.

I just have to get Emily to agree to faking this marriage for six months, and then we can quietly divorce.

Right?

Wrong.

Nothing is quite that simple when feelings blur the line between a contract and reality.

I ended up with more than just a hangover when I found myself waking up married.

My Review:
My Rating: 4 Stars


Emily needs to escape after finding her boyfriend cheating on her. Emily's best friend Amber is going to visit her brother Adam and his band in Vegas. Not wanting to leave her best friend alone after finding out about her boyfriend Amber drags her along for her birthday weekend. Emily has always had a major crush on her best friend's older brother. As soon as Adam opens the door of his Las Vegas Suite Emily remembers just how much of a crush she had on him and Adam notices she's not the same girl he remembers, but now a woman. Sparks fly between the two as they hang out and both comment how they are relationship people and not one night stand people. After a few tequila shots and some other booze they both wake up the next morning not remembering the night before where they got married! With Adam being a rock star
everyone knows about the two getting married and the bands manager, Kylie, shows Adam how much the bands sales have risen after everyone found out about the marriage. Adam's band is supposed to be doing a reality television show and after finding out how everyone has reacted asks Emily to stay married to him for 6 months. 

Emily decides to help him out, except what happens when the feelings she felt when she was younger become stronger. After all, this is only supposed to be a fake marriage...right? But the way Adam is making her feel she doesn't know if she can pretend to be in love with her husband when she really is falling in love with him. Also, is Adam only acting this way because of the show or is he feeling what she's feeling?

I loved the side characters and the chemistry between Adam and Emily. I liked that Emily thought things through and didn't just follow her heart. There were times that I wanted to smack Adam, but as a whole I really liked how he went after what he wanted. There were a few things that I feel were just added in as drama and never felt fully resolved, but I will definitely be checking out more of this author's books, especially Amber and Rascal's book.

The Boyfriend Blog- Blog Tour and Excerpt

The Boyfriend Blog, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by USA Today bestselling author K.L. Grayson, is LIVE!


BLURB:

Boyfriend (n.)

1) A frequent or regular male companion with whom one has a romantic or sexual
relationship.

2) A myth. A legend. Impossible to find.

According to her eighty-year-old neighbor, Lizzie Donovan is looking for Mr. Right in all
the wrong places. Though it’s made great fodder for her blog, Lizzie is finally tired of
swiping left and awful blind dates, and she’s ready to take Mrs. Skinner’s advice and
find love the old-fashioned way. Goodbye dating app, hello grocery store, book store,
dog park, and wherever else she might be able to meet a good man. And she really has
nothing to lose. Not only will she be entertained along the way, but even if she ends up
alone, she’ll always have her longtime best friend, Aiden, by her side.


Friend zone (n.)

1) A situation in which a friendship exists between two people, one of whom has an
unreciprocated romantic or sexual interest in the other.

2) Location of Aiden Wallace.



According to his eighty-year-old neighbor, Aiden Wallace has been friend zoned. And
that’s mostly his fault because instead of opening his eyes and seeing what was right in
front of him, Aidan has spent the last several years enjoying the single life. But things
have changed—he has changed—and now he needs his best friend, Lizzie, to stop
shoving him into the friend zone so he can work at winning her heart. Until then, he’s
stuck watching her string of dating disasters and wishing she’d believe him when he
tells her he’s the one.

Excerpt:

The Boyfriend Blog
August 29, 2015

Boyfriend wanted: Loyal and funny. Wait…I just described a dog. I should buy a dog.

For real, though, Loyal and funny, that’s easy enough, right?
Wrong!
Do you ever ask yourself why dating in today’s society is so hard? Or where all the
good guys are? Or what happened to dating before sex and *gasp* chivalry?
I wish I had the answers to those questions for you, but I don’t. Unfortunately, I’m
scratching my head and wondering the same things you are, which is how I ended up
here in the first place.
I never thought I’d be a blogger—especially one who writes about men and
dating—and really, I’m not; I’m just a twenty-something girl who got her heart broken
for the first time and, while drowning myself in a pint of cookie dough ice cream,
thought to myself: Self, how many other girls out there are doing this exact thing?
How many of us are loading up on carbs and sugar while mentally berating humans of
the penis-wielding variety?
I know I can’t be the only one.
After proposing that same question to my sister, she suggested that I blog about it.
So, whether you’re like me and are swallowing past the bitter first taste of a broken
heart, or you’re on your tenth helping and somehow keep finding the courage to go
back for more, this blog is for you.
Let me start out by saying you are not alone.
Louder for the sobbing girl in the back: YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Sit down, buckle up, and let’s enjoy this crazy ride of bad dating apps and even worse
dates together.
P.S. Men suck. And not in a good way.
XOXO, Liz

Release- Cover Reveal

“Aly Martinez is one of the best in the business. You have to read her books.” --Meghan March, New York Times Bestselling author

Release, an all-new emotional, second chance romance standalone from
USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez is coming January 5th and I
have the incredible cover!

BLURB:

Growing up, Ramsey Stewart branded my soul in ways time could never heal.

At twelve, he asked me to be his girlfriend.
At thirteen, he gave me my first kiss.

By sixteen, we’d fallen in love, planned a future together, and had our eyes set on the horizon.

Love never fails, right?
But for Ramsey, it did.
Love failed him.
I failed him.
The entire world failed him.

At seventeen, Ramsey was convicted of killing the boy who assaulted me.
Move on, he wrote in his first and only letter from prison.

Start a new life, he urged.
I don’t love you anymore, he lied.

There was no such thing as giving up on Ramsey. Love may have been our curse, but he was
mine—then, now, and forever.

So here I am, twelve long years later, waiting for a man I don't even know to emerge from
between the chain link gates.

olives. It should be known, however, that she hates pizza and ice cream, almost as

Let it Snow- Release Blitz and Giveaway!!


Let It Snow by Kristie Leigh
Release Date: December 11, 2019


BLURB

Coming home for the holidays after eight long years to say goodbye, I found myself saying hello.

Melissa—or Missy as I remembered her—had had a crush on me. But being a typical eighteen-year-old, I didn’t pay much attention to the blushing twelve-year-old.

I walked away without so much as a backwards glance. But now? Now I can’t tear my eyes away.

Gone was the girl with braces and pigtails...in her place was a woman who took my breath away.

I just had to prove to her I wasn’t the same guy I was back then. I prayed for a Christmas miracle, but I never expected this.

Her.

Us.

My Review:

My Rating: 3 stars


I received an arc in exchange for an honest review. This book has everything from loss, to second chances to love. I liked this book, but I felt the author rushed things a bit because it was a novella. Sullivan hasn’t been home for 8 years. His mom calls him with the news his grandmother isn’t doing well and he decides to go home for the holidays. When Sullivan gets home runs into an old family friend, but she’s not the same little girl he remembers, now she’s a woman. Melissa always had a crush on Sullivan growing up and now that he’s home and sees her as more than just the annoying girl she used to be can there be more between the two?

Like I said this was cute and reminded me of a hallmark movie with a little heat. If you are looking for a light holiday read this is the book for you.


AUTHOR BIO

I'm a feisty redheaded Canadian/American who fell in love with romance novels when my friend Phil bought me a Kindle that hasn't left my side since.

My favorite books to read are anything taboo and super sick and twisted. I'm not sure I will ever write anything dark, but I would love to give it a shot one day.

I live in South Florida with my high school sweetheart and three kids.

I grew up in Burlington, ON, Canada but made the move to South Florida in 2013 and definitely don't miss the snow.

I'm not sure where this writing journey will take me but either way, I know it will be a fun new adventure, and I'm super excited about it.

Humbugged-Release Blitz and Review



BLURB

He’s the world’s most alpha Marine and the last man I should be letting jingle my bells this holiday season.

So why does Clint O’Dell keep running through my thoughts wearing nothing but a Santa hat? And why do I stupidly agree that we should be Christmas friends with benefits?

Someone must have spiked my eggnog.

I don’t do Marines.

Or Santas.

I learned my lesson about both the hard way.

But when Clint steps in to rescue me—from a murderous goose, a rogue reindeer, and the ghost of Christmas Right Now causing trouble in my bakery—I can’t help but wonder if we’re meant to be more than friends.

If maybe Clint is the holiday miracle I’ve been praying for…or if all the magic will disappear with the season.

Humbugged is a laugh out loud holiday romp featuring a Marine with a heart of gold and a baker in need of a hero. Complete with the world's most awkward Christmas caroling, a photoshoot with furry friends, and more naughty baked goods than is good or decent.

My Review:
My Rating: 4 stars


Humbugged by Pippa Grant and Lila Valente was almost the perfect Christmas book. It had tons of romance, sexual tension and comedy with even a little mystery thrown in. This is the 4th book in the Happy Cat series and while it can be read as a standalone it would be best to start from the beginning to truly understand the side characters and the craziness that ensues them. I love Pippa and Litli's writing and need to go back and read the first two books in the series!

About this book, Clint is a marine who is back in his hometown and stationed to recruit others to the Marines. Noelle is the new bakery owner in town, who is trying to put herself in the Christmas spirit even though things keep going wrong. The sparks fly and after Clint saves her a few times they end up settling on being friends with benefits. I was also happily surprised that I wasn't able to solve the mystery 100% on my own.

One of my favorite parts of this book was the goose Nutquacker who just has it out for Noelle and Clint has to keep saving her from him. The memes in this book just had me laughing so much too along with all the other animals and characters in the book. Overall, this is a great holiday read for anyone who needs one and the icing on the cake to those who have read the Happy Cat series.
