The Godparent Trap- Release Blitz and review!!

 The Godparent Trap by Rachel Van Dyken is now live!

BLURB:

Life's Too Short meets The Unhoneymooners in this sparkling, steamy, and swoon-worthy novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken, in which two sworn enemies must share house, home—and maybe their hearts—when they become co-parents after a sudden loss.

Colby's living her best life: as a popular food blogger, she gets to fulfill her dreams of exploring the globe. But her world comes crashing down when a tragic accident leaves her co-guardian of her best friend's two adorable children. Not only does she need to put down roots—fast—but she'll be sharing custody with the one man she can't stand sharing a continent with, let alone a house.

Accountant-extraordinaire Rip values rules and plans. But when he loses his sister and his best friend and becomes an insta-guardian all in one night, Rip sees his organized life imploding. What he really doesn't need is his sister's irresponsible, flighty—albeit kind and gorgeous—best friend making it worse.

Rip doesn't trust Colby to take their new responsibilities seriously, while Colby can't believe Rip thinks children will thrive under his rigid control. Yet soon Rip and Colby discover they need each other more than they hate each other. Could it be possible that following their hearts is just what their new little family needs?

My Review:

My Rating: 3.5 Stars

Colby is a popular food blogger, who is enjoying traveling around the world trying different foods. Rip is an accountant and a guy who likes things organized and wants the perfect life. When Colby finds out her best friend, Monica, and her husband, Brooks,  died in a horrible accident Colby ends up thrust into the role of raising her best friend's two kids. The only problem is she has to share custody of the kids with Rip, who is Monica's brother and Brook's best friend. 

Colby and Rip can't stand each other, but will have to learn how to get along while raising two kids. It was interesting to see how Rip changes from the beginning of this book to the end. I felt the end was a little rushed, but wrapped up all of the storylines nicely. This book will definitely remind some people of the movie Life As We Know It as the premise is very similar, however, Rachel puts her own spin on the godparent roles and the storyline. Honestly, I really enjoyed how Rachel balanced some of the heavier themes in this book with some fun and light moments with the children.

Goal Chaser-Cover Reveal!

 Stacey Lynn has revealed the cover for Goal Chaser!

BLURB:

When my ex-wife walked out our door, she didn't just take her belongings with her, she took my heart. 

I was pretty sure it would never work again, but that was before my sister’s best friend showed up at my door. Beaten. In need of serious help. And my sister sent Emmersyn to me, knowing I’d do whatever I could to help.

Except doing whatever I can means getting married. Again.

We both know the score though, which means Emmersyn knows I’ll never love her. I can help protect her and our marriage secures her inheritance, but love? I’ve already ruined one woman. I refuse to hurt another.

We say I do, and almost immediately I realize spending this much time around Emmersyn will be my downfall.

I might be breaking my promise to her already. 

Turns out, when it comes to love and women, I’m wrong about a lot of things.

Tease- Blog Tour, Review and Excerpt!!

 Could Hutton French and I actually be right for each other, or is it all just one big tease?

TEASE, an all new sizzling friends to lovers, fake engagement small town romantic comedy from USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author Melanie Harlow, is now available!

BLURB:

I didn’t mean to say I was engaged to a hot billionaire–it just slipped out.

In my defense, I’d had a really bad haircut, a really strong drink, and I was trying to save face in front of the Mean Girl at my high school reunion.

Lucky for me, I happen to know a hot billionaire. Hutton French and I have been friends forever, and even though big social gatherings are not his thing, I called him from the coat closet and begged him for a favor–show up and play my fake fiancé for the night.

Except that word of our engagement spreads like wildfire. Our families are ecstatic.

We’re front page news. My little food blog is launched into the stratosphere.

Of course, I offer to set the record straight right away, but Hutton wants to give it a little time–the phony engagement will keep his matrimony-mad mother and every matchmaking granny in town off his back.

He even suggests I move in with him to make the ruse more real.

And we don’t stop there.

We practice kissing. Undressing each other. Saying things–and doing things–we’d never dare if we weren’t pretending. Because it’s all for show, right? We’re just role-playing. Hutton doesn’t want a real relationship, and I don’t want to get hurt. But the more time we spend faking it, the more I start to wonder.

Could Hutton French and I actually be right for each other, or is it all just one big tease?

Keep reading for a look inside TEASE!

"Want something to drink? Whiskey or scotch?”

“No, thanks. Mostly I just want to take these heels off.”

“Leave them on.”

I was already bending down to unbuckle one ankle strap. I looked up and saw him standing there with his glass in his hand. “What?”

“Leave them on. And come over here.”

I straightened up and took one tiny step.

“On your hands and knees.”

My breath caught. I could feel his eyes on me. Instantly I understood what this was, and even though I was a little nervous, I wanted to play along. I wanted to please him this way.

The only problem was, I wasn’t entirely sure I could get to my knees in this tight dress. But I said a quick prayer and dropped to my knees on the carpet in one smooth motion. Thankfully, the dress material had some stretch, and the seams didn’t pop.

“Good girl,” he said quietly, igniting a firestorm in my blood that surprised me. “Now come here.”

My heart thrummed fast and loud as I lowered my palms to the floor and slowly closed the distance between us. I’d never done anything like this in my life—who am I right now?—but I liked the way it made me feel.

Tempting. Seductive. Alluring. I’d never thought of myself that way before, but here and now, in this tight little black dress with the red satin heels, crawling toward a gorgeous, powerful man in a suit in our Manhattan hotel suite? My billionaire fake fiancé? It was easy to imagine I wasn’t myself at all.

When I reached his feet, I sat back on my heels and looked up. Our eyes met. His lean, muscular silhouette looked imposing above me. Even that rebel lock of hair had been tamed into submission tonight.

He took another sip of his drink and set the glass on the table. Pulled the chair at the head of the table aside. Loosened the knot in his tie. “Are you okay?”

“Yes.”

“If there’s a point tonight where you are not, you should tell me.” He slipped the tie from his collar.

I swallowed hard. “Like a safe word?”

His mouth hooked up on one side. His hand freed the top button of his shirt. “You already have a safe word?”

“No,” I said quickly. “I’ve never needed one before.”

“You do now.” He undid a second button. “So what will it be?”

Of course, I couldn’t fucking think of anything, and I panicked.

“Roy Kent,” I blurted.

He cocked his head, his hand still on his shirt. “Who’s Roy Kent?”

“Never mind. I’ll think of another one.”

Do not say Oklahoma.

Do not say bumblebee.

I racked my brain for something else. “Romeo,” I said breathlessly. “That’s what I’ll say. Romeo.”

He set his tie on the table and offered me a hand.

Placing my palm in his, I rose to my feet. “Is anything going to hurt?” I asked, picturing whips, chains, ball gags, metal cuffs and clamps, shiny rubber gloves.

“I don’t need to inflict pain to feel in control, if that’s what you’re asking.”

“Okay. Should I—”

But that was all I got out because he spun me around and clamped a hand over my mouth, pressing his body tight against my back.

My Review:
My Rating: 4.5 Stars

Felicity is trying to show everyone at her high school reunion that she is not the same person she was back then. After a really strong drink, and I was trying to save face in front of the Mean Girl from high school Felicity accidentally lets it slip that she is engaged to a hot billionaire. Good thing for Felicity, her best friend Hutton fits the bill of a hot billionaire. After begging and pleading with him because he is not into social gatherings he finally relents. The news flies through their small town until everyone knows about their engagement. Felicity tells Hutton she will tell everyone the truth, but he tells her to wait because it's getting the grannies and his mom off his back. As the two pretend their engagement they start practicing kissing and undressing each other until the line between reality and make believe relationship starts to blur. 

Honestly I really enjoyed this small town, friends to lovers book. Hutton was a cute socially awkward man who always had a thing for his best friend, but never thought anything could come from it. Felicity had a crush on Hutton when she was younger. but he never made a move so she kept him in the friend zone. I love how Hutton and Felicity bring out the best of each other and I loved watching them fall for each other. Honestly, I would always recommend Melanie's books because I love her small town romances and this is one of my favorites of the Cloverleigh farms books. This can be read as a standalone.

The Anti-Fan and the Idol- Review and Excerpt!!

 The Anti-Fan and the Idol, an all-new spicy, must-read My Summer In Seoul novella from New York Times best selling author Rachel Van Dyken and 1,001 Dark Nights, is available now!

BLURB:

Make it or break it...

Or maybe just break them?

Ai-Ri has been training under YK Management in Korea for two years without any results. She doesn’t fit the typical mold for a successful K-POP idol image, literally down to her blood type. She has six more months before college entrance exams which means she only has six months to make it as an idol before her dreams are crushed.

Things take a turn when two of the most famous male idols break away from their group and decide to form their own co-ed group, a rarity.

And wonder of all wonders, they need one more girl.

It would be the perfect opportunity, except she hates them.

They are arrogant, entitled, rich little snobs who want the world to worship the ground they walk on. To make matters worse, the only reason they came to her was because they are desperate, which means she needs to prove herself even more.

Tempers and personalities collide when she’s forced to either accept the position or give up on her dream.

But what happens when you suddenly go from anti-fan and enemy number one to stuck in a love triangle between two boys you were born to hate but are somehow falling in love with? And will the group survive the heartbreak that follows when she finally makes her choice?

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

My Review:
My Rating: 3.5 Stars

Ai-Ri has been training and trying to make it as a K-pop star for two years, however she isn't the typical K-POP trainee. Her parents have given her 6 more months to make it before she has to try a different path. Ai-Ri's enemy Haneul and his best friend Ryan have an idea to form a co-ed group and need another girl and they ask Ai-Ri. Knowing that Ryan and Hanuel were in a famous K-POP band and knowing her time is running out Ai-Ri decides to try it out. Now Ai-Ri is working with both boys and tempers are flaring, but truths are also starting to come out. What happens when you start liking your enemy? 

Honestly, I don't follow K-POP or know much about it except from what I read from Rachel's "My Summer in Seoul." If you follow K-POP you will understand everything that happens to Ai-Ri in this book, however, if you are new to K-POP I would recommend reading My Summer in Seoul to fully understand what it means to be a K-POP star. Even if you do know K-POP I would recommend the book too because I just love Rachel's writing. This novella could definitely be read as a standalone as there's just one recurring character. I love how Rachel brings the world and characters she creates alive and I loved reading about Ai-Ri and the guy she chooses. If you are looking for a short, enemies to lovers, little bit of angst and a lot of heart in the writing this is the book for you this summer. 

Keep reading for a look inside The Anti-Fan and the Idol!

We both start to sing the chorus, and then she breaks apart from me and takes the higher harmony.

It sounds how I imagined it would, and I want to keep going because it feels good being in here with her, so I motion for her to keep singing her part.

She does it flawlessly.

We hit the chorus again before it goes into my rap line. I get lost in the words.

Music always has a way of distracting me. The chorus pops up again.

Ah-Ri joins in and starts to dance a bit next to me.

I smile and keep singing.

We do four more takes, all of them perfect yet slightly different. By the time we finish the last one, I have so much adrenaline pumping through my system that I could record all day.

She pulls off her headphones and holds up her hand.

I make a fist and punch it lightly.

Ah-Ri throws her head back and laughs. “I guess I deserved that.”

“You really did.” I smirk, then hold up my other hand. “One last chance?”

She sets her headphones on the stand, moves in front of me, and then slowly presses her palm against mine.

Instinct takes over. My fingers slide into hers. Her smile falters as she stares at our joined hands. “Looks like our palms like a seriously long kiss.”

“A lingering kiss,” I tease, licking my lips.

“Lingering, huh?” Her eyes focus on my mouth.

This is a bad idea, my brain screams. Do not fall for your bandmate, the very one you could hate later or have to see on tour every day. In the history of bad ideas, this would be the worst.

Slowly, I pull my hand away from hers.

It falls empty at my side.

It doesn’t hurt, but it doesn’t feel good, either.

It feels like she’s missing when she’s standing right in front of me.

She stares down at her hand, then over at mine before slowly grabbing it again and pressing a kiss to my palm.

Her lips burn a hole through my skin. They create a memory with zero effort, one I’ll never escape from unless someone chops off my hand.

“You guys alive in there?” Haneul’s voice comes through the sound system. I jerk away from Ah-Ri, look through the glass, and leave the booth.

It was a moment of temporary insanity, brought on by high emotions, close proximity, and touching.

No more high-fives.

No more palm kissing.

Am I a toddler or something?

I wipe my hands on my black sweats and casually run a hand through my hair as I walk toward Haneul. Jisoo is in the corner on her phone.

Haneul smirks like he caught me making out.

It was just our hands.

Tight Ends & Tiaras- Release Blitz and Review!!

BLURB 

USA Today bestselling author Lex Martin delivers a swoony, single dad romance about a college football player and the fake girlfriend he knows he should resist.

Football is one hundred percent the focus of my life—until a squawking toddler, with a temper to rival my own, lands in my lap and flips my life upside down.

I’ll never be Dad of the Year. Anyone will tell you that. Except maybe Sienna, my sister’s former roommate, who somehow manages to make my broody ass laugh and sees something in me no one else does.

When Sienna offers to let me and my little princess move in with her, I’m not sure if it’s to help or because she wants revenge on my teammate and long-time rival, who broke her heart.

Either way, I’m game. Because I need to get my ex off my back, and Sienna doesn’t mind pretending to be my girlfriend.

Only neither of us is ready for the sparks that fly between us or the consequences when they do.

★ What you can expect:

- sexy single dad

- fake dating

- sports romance

- slow burn but steamy

- opposites attract

- college football

- small town

My Review:
My Rating: 4 Stars

Ben just found out he's a dad to a toddler and is trying to wrap his head around it while trying to keep his heart protected from his baby mama who broke it after high school. Sienna's just got out of a relationship and isn't looking for a new one when Ben asks to move in with her and to be his fake girlfriend to keep his baby mama away from him. The two have started to become friends so she agrees with both saying this is not real. I know, you know, those are famous last words, especially in a romance book. As the two spend more time together the chemistry that has always bubbled under the surface comes rising up and the two have to figure out what they want to do with it. 

This was my first full book by this author and I have to say I enjoyed it. There was a part towards the end that I felt it dragged a little, but overall, it was enjoyable. I loved how Sienna was a sunshine heroine who did her best to help Ben and I loved how Ben was grumpy towards everyone else except Sienna and his daughter.  This is the second book in the Varsity Dad's series and I did not read the first one and I was able to understand the story, although I probably will go back and read the first one because the glimpses of what I saw in this book made me think it will be good. If you are looking for a fake dating, single dad, small town, college, slow burn book this summer with some drama this is the book for you.

AUTHOR BIO

A former high school English teacher and freelance journalist, she resides in Texas with her husband, twin daughters, and a bunny named Dandelion.

Make it or break it...

Or maybe just break them?

The Anti-Fan and the Idol, an all-new steamy and emotional enemies-to-lovers novella set in the My Summer In Seoul world from New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken and 1,001 Dark Nights, is available now!

BLURB:

Make it or break it...

Or maybe just break them?

Ai-Ri has been training under YK Management in Korea for two years without any results. She doesn’t fit the typical mold for a successful K-POP idol image, literally down to her blood type. She has six more months before college entrance exams which means she only has six months to make it as an idol before her dreams are crushed.

Things take a turn when two of the most famous male idols break away from their group and decide to form their own co-ed group, a rarity.

And wonder of all wonders, they need one more girl.

It would be the perfect opportunity, except she hates them.

They are arrogant, entitled, rich little snobs who want the world to worship the ground they walk on. To make matters worse, the only reason they came to her was because they are desperate, which means she needs to prove herself even more.

Tempers and personalities collide when she’s forced to either accept the position or give up on her dream.

But what happens when you suddenly go from anti-fan and enemy number one to stuck in a love triangle between two boys you were born to hate but are somehow falling in love with? And will the group survive the heartbreak that follows when she finally makes her choice?





**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**
