I couldn't care less about the money. It's not like I even knew my grandparents. </p><p>I wasn't even considering it until Monroe volunteered. Sweet, sweet, Monroe. I've never let myself consider her as an option for me. </p><p>She's been tucked safely away in a box labeled forbidden. That is until she takes my last name.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><i>Monroe</i></b></p><p>It's not like I planned to marry one of my friends... or fall for him. </p><p>One minute I offer to be his fake wife, and the next, we're going through the motions-- saying, "I do," and playing house. </p><p>Legend is the kind of guy fantasies are made of--tall, dark, and tattooed. Now I'm sharing his bed and his last name for the next year. </p><p>Everything looks good on paper, and while this may have started out as playing pretend, the way I feel for him is the realest thing I've ever known.</p><p>As the weeks pass by, it doesn't take long before either of us begins to question if we're just friends or if this is this love after all.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc95yPKN26MuZfFoC1Fi_X5uxOqAAp-OdJAptu1oKxWpDVqqNDTMGMkD7ObTq7N_q3-otnDwiRnjCf2IO734oVvQ-FSUIVZLrEwchiTDG4_E8Z8RKBQLBrB9h52_ijmuSXq3P_oa_qylawus7v3NkK2uVyJ8c-gPxvlFlchf668E-UaOdbKKb7VFJu/s1080/ITL%20-%20PR%20Teaser.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc95yPKN26MuZfFoC1Fi_X5uxOqAAp-OdJAptu1oKxWpDVqqNDTMGMkD7ObTq7N_q3-otnDwiRnjCf2IO734oVvQ-FSUIVZLrEwchiTDG4_E8Z8RKBQLBrB9h52_ijmuSXq3P_oa_qylawus7v3NkK2uVyJ8c-gPxvlFlchf668E-UaOdbKKb7VFJu/s320/ITL%20-%20PR%20Teaser.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Preorder today on Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo! </span></b></p><p>Apple Books: <a href="https://apple.co/49Acaaa">https://apple.co/49Acaaa</a> </p><p>Nook: <a href="https://bit.ly/47EkK6f">https://bit.ly/47EkK6f</a> </p><p>Kobo: <a href="https://bit.ly/3SrywFa">https://bit.ly/3SrywFa</a> </p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Preorder today on Amazon, and coming to<i> Kindle Unlimited March 19th!</i></span></b></p><p>Amazon: <a href="https://amzn.to/4256K4n">https://amzn.to/4256K4n</a> </p><p>Goodreads: <a href="https://bit.ly/48CdcCt">https://bit.ly/48CdcCt</a> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Tales-of-a-bookworm23http://www.blogger.com/profile/04224760511966778213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4748533667662647456.post-24422142724741173142024-03-05T14:08:00.000-08:002024-03-05T14:08:15.736-08:00Unending Love- Review<p>Unending Love by Stacey Lynn is now live!</p><p>A Sexy, Small Town, Secret Baby, Sports, Standalone Romance From Bestselling Author, Stacey Lynn.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">BLURB:</span></b></p><p>Everyone knows who Caleb Kelley is. I’m at the top of my game, known all around Colorado and beyond for not only my elite skills in professional hockey, but also my family’s ranching heritage. For this reason, I trust very few people as I’m used to strangers and so-called friends trying to get close to us for a piece of fame.</p><p>But when I receive a letter from a woman I slept with years ago, letting me know I’m a father—I implicitly trust her. Emily Russo is forever ingrained in my memory, and is the exception to every rule.</p><p>That one night I spent with her was unforgettable. I still remember the feel of her lips and the way her body moved under mine. For years, I’ve regretted not leaving her my phone number because if I had, I wouldn’t be seeing the first glimpses of my son in glossy pictures. Instead, I would've held him in my arms the minute he was born.</p><p>Now, I not only have to get to know my son, I also have to convince Emily that the spark that once burned between us is still smoldering, ready to burn even hotter a second time around.</p><p>But it’s not only hanger-ons who follow me. There are others who want to see this golden boy tossed off his throne. Too bad they don’t know what lengths I’ll go to protect what’s mine. I’ll do anything for Emily and my son. My love for them is unending.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaKZC2W2iXvlVXu4GTBvS_GUAOtJnsITFsm7qLfPGN1pjA-b-m7GwX3qem8pxQjGYCPFW3J-hXCWnZ0dK0eaYOmVaOV8vkB0RO9UKJd5umD-c4jDutzhGZJ7G2BaQmPYW33d34ypDBw2vVXSjnYvsGxEfOhmS6ac_Kr8sPfAT3WtntvKzlfEmyt1sN/s2500/NEW-UnendingLove-Amazon%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2500" data-original-width="1667" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaKZC2W2iXvlVXu4GTBvS_GUAOtJnsITFsm7qLfPGN1pjA-b-m7GwX3qem8pxQjGYCPFW3J-hXCWnZ0dK0eaYOmVaOV8vkB0RO9UKJd5umD-c4jDutzhGZJ7G2BaQmPYW33d34ypDBw2vVXSjnYvsGxEfOhmS6ac_Kr8sPfAT3WtntvKzlfEmyt1sN/s320/NEW-UnendingLove-Amazon%20(1).jpg" width="213" /></a></div><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Download today on Amazon, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and Kobo!</span></b></p><p>Amazon: <a href="https://amzn.to/3tRqKuE">https://amzn.to/3tRqKuE</a></p><p>Amazon Worldwide: <a href="http://amzn.to/41WYljs">http://amzn.to/41WYljs</a></p><p>Apple Books: <a href="https://bit.ly/48vsvN4">https://bit.ly/48vsvN4</a></p><p>Nook: <a href="https://bit.ly/3vKSn92">https://bit.ly/3vKSn92</a></p><p>Kobo: <a href="https://bit.ly/48TG0G5">https://bit.ly/48TG0G5</a></p><p>Google Play: <a href="https://bit.ly/3tSNqdS">https://bit.ly/3tSNqdS</a></p><p>Add to Goodreads: <a href="https://bit.ly/3RYverh">https://bit.ly/3RYverh</a></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">My Review:<br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">My Rating: 3.5 Stars</span></b></h3><p>Emily is a single mom, who had a one night stand and is doing her best to provide a good life for her son. She never caught the guys last name or number after the one night stand so she was never able to find the guy and tell him he was going to be a dad. After a series of events Emily finds Landon's dad and the two have to navigate how to deal with the news and how they are going to raise Landon.</p><p>Cade is a famous NHL player and his family has a very successful ranch. After finding out he's a father Cade is all in. He's excited to get to know his son and even re-light the spark between him and Emily. However, not everyone wants Cade and Emily together and to be a family with their son.</p><p>This was a cute story. I felt it was a little insta-love, which normally isn't my style, but for this story it seemed to work. I liked how Cade and Emily were willing to work together for Landon to have both his parents. Cade was willing to go slow and let Emily take the wheel with how he would be in Landon's light. I loved that Emily wanted Cade to be in Landon's life and was excited that Landon would have more people in his corner. I enjoyed seeing Cade's family and how they reacted to Landon and Emily because Stacey made it believable. If you are looking for a cute little romance with a surprise baby this might be the book for you. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXs0QdoqXS65HHw7XajEZ60qH214sWTwuHbuDFJvbL7tSZjQzMgPLAPZTQTlSD_HgGYwOoG6K_q8mcVuec81vNLndEfuP5VAWf3aJkHq7sH4FlVd7DhUmf_9v4H97DO-W6sKSu1pKumtZewjslIM3KDC_1QDM9ZlUJRE3FCDyS5Od31eToBmKFZWmD/s1080/Unending%20Love%20-%20AN%20Teaser.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXs0QdoqXS65HHw7XajEZ60qH214sWTwuHbuDFJvbL7tSZjQzMgPLAPZTQTlSD_HgGYwOoG6K_q8mcVuec81vNLndEfuP5VAWf3aJkHq7sH4FlVd7DhUmf_9v4H97DO-W6sKSu1pKumtZewjslIM3KDC_1QDM9ZlUJRE3FCDyS5Od31eToBmKFZWmD/s320/Unending%20Love%20-%20AN%20Teaser.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Meet Stacey</span></b></p><p>Stacey Lynn likes her coffee with a dash of sugar, her heroes with a side of bossy, and her wine a deep shade of red.</p><p>The author of over thirty romance novels, many of which have been best-selling titles on Amazon, AppleBooks, and Barnes &amp; Noble, she loves being able to turn her vivid imagination into a career that brings entertainment and joy to her readers.

Dashiel (Dash) is back in Cherry Tree Harbor for a wedding when his little sister's best friend Ari injures her hand. He goes to her family's diner the next day and ends up helping out. The two end up hanging out more and things tend to escalate. The problem is Dash wants the Hollywood life while Ari is just a small town girl.</p><p>I absolutely love Ari and finding out why she disliked Dash in the previous books of this series. You do not need to read the other books in this series in order to enjoy this one! I also love that Ari knows what she wants and seeing her passion for food come through the pages. I also enjoyed seeing how much she loves her family and the loyalty to them even if sometimes dreams of something more.</p><p>I loved Dash too and his interactions with his family. Some of the conversations had me cracking up. I adored watching him open up to Ari and taking care of her. </p><p>These two were great separately, but together they were dynamite! They brought out the best of each other and their friendship was amazing as well as how much they believed in each other. The chemistry between Dash and Ari was scorching and everything and more you would want in a Melanie Harlow book.</p><p> I had high hopes for this book and Melanie knocked them out of the park. I also enjoyed seeing some of the Easter eggs Melanie put in this book for her loyal readers too see. Sometimes you have to wonder if two people have different dreams, can their be a way to merge them together and create a new one?</p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">ABOUT MELANIE HARLOW</span></b></p><p>USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author Melanie Harlow writes sweet, sexy, feel-good romance.

I’m at the top of my game, known all around Colorado and beyond for not only my elite skills in professional hockey, but also my family’s ranching heritage. For this reason, I trust very few people as I’m used to strangers and so-called friends trying to get close to us for a piece of fame.</p><p>But when I receive a letter from a woman I slept with years ago, letting me know I’m a father – I implicitly trust her. Emily Russo is forever ingrained in my memory, and is the exception to every rule.</p><p>That one night I spent with her was unforgettable. I still remember the feel of her lips and the way her body moved under mine. For years, I’ve regretted not leaving her my phone number because if I had, I wouldn’t be seeing the first glimpses of my son in glossy pictures. Instead, I would've held him in my arms the minute he was born.</p><p>Now, I not only have to get to know my son, I also have to convince Emily that the spark that once burned between us is still smoldering, ready to burn even hotter a second time around.</p><p>But it’s not only hanger-ons who follow me.

That's not the only new thing in his life as he is recently divorced and now his daughter is un expectantly coming to stay with him. He's not ready for her yet, especially with trying to coach a new team. Needing to find a nanny now for his daughter sooner rather than later one of his player overhears his predicament and recommends his younger sister Ruby nanny for him while she figures out what she wants to do in her life next.</p><p>Ruby is staying with her brother as she saves money to pay off her loans after graduating college before going to grad school. She can't beat the price that Logan is willing to pay her to watch his daughter Amelia. As the two are around each other the attraction and chemistry sizzles as they both try to ignore it. After all, Ruby is the nanny and younger than Logan. </p><p>This book was spicy and I liked how the author wrote the different relationships between Logan and the women in his life. I enjoyed learning more about Ruby and Logan's lives and you even get to see glimpses of the other Nashville Steel player's from previous books. This can be read as a standalone, but the other books in the series are so good and each book is different that I would recommend you read those too. As I said watching these two fight their feelings until they can't anymore will make you swoon. I also loved how it was realistic and showed the problems they went through as a couple. I don't want to give too much away but if you love the nanny/ single dad trope or the football trope you need to read this book. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBCZKrHfzHXld95dqjLSS_UT-h9pBz1VxpAdo2zvdBwzAw_S2yN0F9ejOU_zn7D8ayUBAobIKnh9a5b5b8riPB9LGhHpzn86QOR0rhJtbnrSdFjK-9UqP0qYUj7DnH3EgND98dgSEWOPaZF3n9_TETO096iXBf3-ezq1oOy2Q2uQw2tvzu_1sMB4PX/s1080/Risky%20Game%20-%20AN%20Teaser.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBCZKrHfzHXld95dqjLSS_UT-h9pBz1VxpAdo2zvdBwzAw_S2yN0F9ejOU_zn7D8ayUBAobIKnh9a5b5b8riPB9LGhHpzn86QOR0rhJtbnrSdFjK-9UqP0qYUj7DnH3EgND98dgSEWOPaZF3n9_TETO096iXBf3-ezq1oOy2Q2uQw2tvzu_1sMB4PX/s320/Risky%20Game%20-%20AN%20Teaser.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Meet Stacey </span></b></p><p>Stacey Lynn likes her coffee with a dash of sugar, her heroes with a side of bossy, and her wine a deep shade of red.</p><p>The author of over thirty romance novels, many of which have been best-selling titles on Amazon, AppleBooks, and Barnes & Noble, she loves being able to turn her vivid imagination into a career that brings entertainment and joy to her readers.

This is the last of the first generation Kingston's and I'm sad to see it end. Ashlyn is the step mom to most of the Kingston and has a 15 year old. She's been in the books since the beginning quietly at first until the last book where she really connected with Juliette. I was excited to get to know Ashlyn more and find out why she married the older John Kingston when she was so much younger than him and we finally understand why she made the choices she did.</p><p>Haven is a second chance romance between Ashlyn and Brandon. The two met when she was an Olympic skater and after spending one night just talking the two felt a connection. Things happened and 15 years later Brandon's sister is married to one of Ashlyn's step sons. The two have been around each other because of the Kingston family trying to avoid each other until one incident happens and the chemistry between the two that has been laying dormant for years picks up.</p><p>I enjoyed this book. I felt the romance was a little rushed if I hadn't read the previous books, but I was intrigued as to Ashlyn's past. This is a second chance romance and I feel those are usually rushed a little more because the two characters already have a past together and know each other. I loved her relationship with her family and especially her daughter Lindy. I love that Ashlyn has a big family who is always there for her whether she wants them or not and I love how protective Brandon was of Ashlyn and Lindy. It was great to see the other Kingston's in this book and I absolutely love their family group chats. Can I be included on those because they crack me up! I can't wait to read Lindy and Easton's book because I know with Bella's writing it's going to be amazing. I also loved the epilogue of this one because it ties up all the first generation of Kingston's and where they are in their happily ever afters. If you love romance, second chance, football and a little bit of a mystery I suggest reading this book if you haven't. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfkz3VvTOqBPsMijQaF8gPu1p_wjmP8WV8JqH2R5Pr_kRlHtcUwT1SUVhGRCohiiPKwpKhzsKwpKMHcM0kaSmjH3VJOVD01tRGKPeREsO7Q5VWbxByhR9TBkODP1A2H-HJFFD3b4vafSS9pgy5JZDDOmTRHlxoKBl4I_3rg7_XC_hPSl6abAaIynUK/s1080/AN%20Haven.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfkz3VvTOqBPsMijQaF8gPu1p_wjmP8WV8JqH2R5Pr_kRlHtcUwT1SUVhGRCohiiPKwpKhzsKwpKMHcM0kaSmjH3VJOVD01tRGKPeREsO7Q5VWbxByhR9TBkODP1A2H-HJFFD3b4vafSS9pgy5JZDDOmTRHlxoKBl4I_3rg7_XC_hPSl6abAaIynUK/s320/AN%20Haven.png" width="320" /></a></div><p></p>Tales-of-a-bookworm23http://www.blogger.com/profile/04224760511966778213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4748533667662647456.post-69138122289084024302023-10-05T19:12:00.000-07:002023-10-05T19:12:00.721-07:00Haven-Release Blitz!!<p>🏈Haven is the football romance that you have been waiting for.

After running into some trouble, courtesy of his sister, he now has to find a girlfriend and show the GM and owner of the team that he is settling down and cleaning up his public image. Hailey just recently got out of a relationship that didn't end well and isn't looking for anything serious when she is introduced to Dawson. The two come up with an agreement. Dawson gets the fake girlfriend to help clean up his image and in return he will teach Hailey how to seduce men and lose her virginity. </p><p>These two are polar opposites, but they work. I love how Dawson had reservations going into this, but loves his job and will do anything to stay with Nashville. We also got to see the other characters from the previous Nashville Steel books as this is the third one in the series. While, this is the third in the series it can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the other two. I loved watching Dawson grow through this process. He started as a loner but as time passed by he realized he wasn't really alone. I enjoyed Hailey and how open she was with what she wanted and deserved. Neither one was looking for anything serious, but sometimes life shows us who need. This was definitely a slow burn book and I loved the chemistry between Dawson and Hailey. I can't wait to see who of the Nashville Steel Stacey Lynn writes about next.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-ML7V4xQXqcVJUDMk-bUvDLJCAEwwENHrwirMJFd9ms9ozIoJvcWvk2IUGv3m_6Ddq_b0zjbYwWfTaSn0EUUnHfENTmFcI-8rVe7NJgfHYBmiSuNsrtSoKW2V-tFmYnFMvSW-VZfXBWip-8qYoysT4ZmYGKvQ2ZsEfpeRpuycYzKuwFBNyRuE6cI8/s1080/Tight%20Spot%20AN%20Teaser.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-ML7V4xQXqcVJUDMk-bUvDLJCAEwwENHrwirMJFd9ms9ozIoJvcWvk2IUGv3m_6Ddq_b0zjbYwWfTaSn0EUUnHfENTmFcI-8rVe7NJgfHYBmiSuNsrtSoKW2V-tFmYnFMvSW-VZfXBWip-8qYoysT4ZmYGKvQ2ZsEfpeRpuycYzKuwFBNyRuE6cI8/s320/Tight%20Spot%20AN%20Teaser.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Meet Stacey</span></b> </p><p>Stacey Lynn likes her coffee with a dash of sugar, her heroes with a side of bossy, and her wine a deep shade of red.</p><p>The author of over thirty romance novels, many of which have been best-selling titles on Amazon, AppleBooks, and Barnes & Noble, she loves being able to turn her vivid imagination into a career that brings entertainment and joy to her readers.

It’s not worth the hassle. But apparently, that didn’t matter last night. With a bass drum beating a nasty rhythm behind my eyes, I look around the room, quickly realize it’s not mine, and then pull the covers over my head. “No . . .”</p><p>The blanket is pulled slowly from my body, and the deliciously gorgeous man in question stands at the foot of the bed. “Get out of bed, Juliette. The plane takes off in three hours.”</p><p>I sit up, grateful to be wearing a t-shirt, even if it does smell like Becks. If I thought I could get away with it, I’d try to inhale the intoxicating scent, but he’s watching me. Not all men smell good, but this one always does. Like fresh rain and something else. Something sexy.</p><p>“Remind me again why I’m in your bed . . . and your clothes, Becks.”</p><p>He drags his sweat-drenched t-shirt over his head and tosses it into an open suitcase. I guess Prince Charming just came back from a run on the beach. My eyes stall, unavoidably glued to his glistening abs. All eight of them.</p><p>What the hell is Becket doing with an eight-pack?</p><p>He works in an office and wears suits for a living.</p><p>“My eyes are up here, Juliette.”</p><p>Fucker.</p><p>“You’re in my room because you went a little heavy on the shots last night and couldn’t remember which room was yours.”</p><p>Relief washes over me in a cool, refreshing wave. Lenny’s brother is fun to fight with, but that’s all he can ever be. “Right. Sorry about that. I can’t believe I drank so much. It’s been years since I’ve wasted carbs on alcohol. I guess it hit me harder than I thought it would.”</p><p>I stand up, stretch out my legs, and tug the tee down over my ass. Then I look up at him.</p><p>I always liked that Lenny’s brothers are taller than me. It happens less than you think when you’re five foot ten. “So, you let me sleep in your bed? Where did you sleep?”</p><p>Becks chuckles a deep, gravelly laugh that sends a tingle down my body. “It’s a king-sized bed, Juliette. I slept on the other side.” Before I can say anything else, he adds, “Nothing happened.”</p><p>“Oh, thank God,” I laugh nervously. “Phew. Lenny would have killed me if I defiled you.”</p><p>Becket saunters closer and drags a finger up my neck, sending a violent shiver down my spine. “You might want to remember that the next time you decide to strip out of your clothes in front of a man, Juliette. I doubt most would show the same restraint I did.”</p><p>For a second, I feel bad.</p><p>“But it’s nice to see the carpet really does match the drapes.”</p><p>Fuck feeling bad. Now I feel stabby. Asshole.</p><p>I grab my clothes off the floor and find my purse on the dresser. “You’ve always got to ruin the nice moments by being a dick, Becket.”</p><p>“See you on the plane, Jules.” His lips tip up into a crooked, cocky smile, and if I had any panties on, they’d spontaneously burst into flames. There’s just something about Becket Kingston. Damn him.</p><p>I’m pretty sure I growl in response.</p><p>Great. One week with the Kingstons, and I’m as feral as the rest of them.</p><p>I let myself out of his hut, and yup . . . this morning has officially gotten worse. Lenny, her husband, Bash, and their two boys are talking to her brother Hudson and his wife, Maddie, and their daughter. All of them—even the kids—stop talking as soon as I walk out onto the sand, and I want to crawl in a hole and die. Maybe I should have put my dress back on, but in my defense, Becket’s t-shirt is the same length on my legs as my dress was. I watch as Lenny’s brows shoot up in question before she looks behind me at the damn hut.</p><p>And of course, that’s when Becket opens the door.</p><p>“You forgot your shoes—” The words hang heavy in the air when he walks into me because I don’t move. Frozen, even though I’m completely off balance.</p><p>Becks steadies me with his hands on my hips, and I swallow down my quickly rising hysteria.</p><p>Everyone is staring.</p><p>“You didn’t,” Lenny hisses, low and mean. Bash ushers her boys down the path toward the main resort before they see their mother explode. “Please, sweet baby Jesus, tell me you did not screw my best friend.”</p><p>Oh . . . She’s pissed at him. Oops.</p><p>“Really, Eleanor?” Becks taunts her.</p><p>“Len . . . we didn’t.” I try to end the conversation before these two get into a fight. “I was drunk and couldn’t find my key. I slept here. Slept, Len. That’s all.”</p><p>Lenny eyes me skeptically while Hudson laughs. These damn Kingston men are all such shits. His wife slaps his chest and takes their daughter’s tiny hand in hers. “Come on, Hud. We need to get breakfast before the flight home.”</p><p>Hudson tips his chin toward Becket and me. “Bet you two worked up quite an appetite.”</p><p>“You’re awful.” Maddie pushes him to move, then looks back at me with a playful smile.</p><p>“But I wouldn’t mind hearing about it on the plane.”</p><p>“Oh my God.” I blush furiously. “There’s nothing to tell. We literally slept.” I cringe and step away from Becket while my best friend shakes herself out of whatever crazed trance she’s fallen into.</p><p>“Whatever.” She throws her hands up in the air and slants her eyes my way. “You’re miles better than Medusa. Just don’t hurt him.” She tosses a calculated look back at her brother.</p><p>“Becket is a serial monogamist.”</p><p>“Eleanor,” Becks stops her.</p><p>I reach out and grab Lenny’s arm. “Seriously, Len. Nothing happened.”</p><p>Her oldest son, Maverick, comes flying down the path. “Come on, Mommy. We’re hungry.”</p><p>“Mommy’s coming, sweetie.” She scoops him up on her hip and kisses his mop of floppy brown hair, then looks over his head at Becks and me. “We’ll talk about this on the plane.”</p><p>I watch her walk away and cringe as I turn toward Becket, who’s holding my shoes with a wicked grin. “She absolutely thinks we slept together.”</p><p>“I’ve seen your dates in the tabloids, Jules. You could do worse.” Becks winks and walks away, leaving me in the sand, ready to scream.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv1agEH2xfkc8VHCUZpVktUEW51JqfGOFAjab5tLDBmps9Ai6NXtwgwJg9MyxLZFLGHYRsD2A5KeF_xW7MOQMvVVersdMnpwad7E32CqXgsocQ-sktxRbQQpv0zYIbCB_MUIJvWmXuler_K9vEqAU3c_lw6toYYwG1XPe37PYOmHSZ_QLZuezFwANs/s1080/Overruled%20-%20AN%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv1agEH2xfkc8VHCUZpVktUEW51JqfGOFAjab5tLDBmps9Ai6NXtwgwJg9MyxLZFLGHYRsD2A5KeF_xW7MOQMvVVersdMnpwad7E32CqXgsocQ-sktxRbQQpv0zYIbCB_MUIJvWmXuler_K9vEqAU3c_lw6toYYwG1XPe37PYOmHSZ_QLZuezFwANs/s320/Overruled%20-%20AN%20(1).jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p>Learn more about Bella Matthews and her releases by visiting her websites:</p><p><a href="https://www.authorbellamatthews.com">https://www.authorbellamatthews.com</a></p>Tales-of-a-bookworm23http://www.blogger.com/profile/04224760511966778213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4748533667662647456.post-7133755802366255902023-07-27T09:49:00.003-07:002023-07-27T09:49:27.688-07:00Overruled-Release Blitz!!<p><b><i> “You gonna catch me if I fall, Becks?”</i></b></p><p><b>Overruled, an all-new heat-filled, marriage-of-convenience in The Defiant Kings Series from USA Today bestselling author Bella Matthews is available now!</b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">BLURB:</span></b></p><p>“You gonna catch me if I fall, Becks?”</p><p>I should have known those words, whispered to my best friend’s brother, would come back to haunt me . . .

After a couple of drinks, nachos and some conversation the two go back to Davis' apartment and have a wild night together. The next morning Maggie slips out just when Davis is getting ready to ask her if they could have some more time together. A few months later Maggie finds out she's pregnant and goes to tell Davis. As the two deal with this unplanned pregnancy they realize the chemistry is still there from the night they met. Maggie just wants to be friends, while Davis is going to show her they can be so much more! As Maggie's pregnancy develops her past comes to light and the two must overcome the trouble that is headed their way.</p><p>Honestly, I loved Davis in this book. He is genuinely a nice guy, who behind closed doors has that sexy edge that is needed. He wants to take care of Maggie and their baby. Maggie grew on me. I wasn't sure how I felt about her at first, but I understand with her past why she was the way she was. She did frustrate me at times, but she felt real. I love how Davis was close to his family. I loved the chemistry between Maggie and Davis and how they had to trust each other and how protective Davis was over Maggie and their baby. I also loved seeing Davis with his teammates and how we saw Eden and Cole and the other characters from Sneak Attack, which is the first book in the Nashville Steel series. While Time Out can be read as a standalone I would suggest reading Sneak Attack too just because it was so good. I also like how Stacey didn't rush the pregnancy in order to just get to the baby part! Overall, if you like unexpected pregnancy, guy falls first, athlete, football books than you will enjoy this one. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3xt50rvtnuswqF8PfF_AZfv2EYJzNIdwgc9naP7KNcNXb2Q6118jXuJkgDYisXtl-_XBCMBb6LlAOWnUJkadrqUmPNKct7p7JYjk536xlrj5EbnjPDNLbZZeSxv0DRGkeRY9XMGBQWm6VEwLAPybLlL0N1X6GDW1dixCgNzVVVlGfZIjU8uGe2Xpn/s1080/Time%20Out%20-%20AN%20Teaser.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3xt50rvtnuswqF8PfF_AZfv2EYJzNIdwgc9naP7KNcNXb2Q6118jXuJkgDYisXtl-_XBCMBb6LlAOWnUJkadrqUmPNKct7p7JYjk536xlrj5EbnjPDNLbZZeSxv0DRGkeRY9XMGBQWm6VEwLAPybLlL0N1X6GDW1dixCgNzVVVlGfZIjU8uGe2Xpn/s320/Time%20Out%20-%20AN%20Teaser.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Meet Stacey </span></b></p><p>Stacey Lynn likes her coffee with a dash of sugar, her heroes with a side of bossy, and her wine a deep shade of red.</p><p>The author of over thirty romance novels, many of which have been best-selling titles on Amazon, AppleBooks, and Barnes & Noble, she loves being able to turn her vivid imagination into a career that brings entertainment and joy to her readers.

She will do nothing to stop her from running Peery Diamonds even if she has to arrange a marriage. After finding her fiancé in bed with her sister, Lucienne demands she marry his older brother or they will lose 30% of their company. Sebastian is sick of having to clean up his family's mess, but this time he's going to get revenge. As Sebastian and Luce co-exist they realize the other might not be exactly who they thought they were when agreed to this plan and as the two spend time together the lines get more and more blurred between them.</p><p>I enjoyed this book and the small cameos of Sebastian's half brothers making appearances. This book can be read as a standalone, but it is fun watching all of the brother's falling for their women. I also loved how she tied in other characters from her other books in this one besides the brothers. I felt so much empathy for Luce. She's just trying to be successful and live her life but one thing after another just keeps trying to push her down, but she keeps standing up! If your looking for a arranged marriage, dislike at first, sexy, funny story then this book is for you.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicA4Uz5qWhRmtS7NI9aMB7-8kLFrsvEI_eDkt9kJw-5zsk9076LVe794g0mJ2L-LnHE1yYAghZ-HGj491vb8tbW4qwUK4EGoD4diWSbWEk89UT6UFr44OUIMLny-dykiPz7MMuczug5UeDXDDbXr1rukqR2z7_ViCM3uQJM1semUoOG5TrxsViDg/s3000/Contractually%20Yours%20Teaser%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicA4Uz5qWhRmtS7NI9aMB7-8kLFrsvEI_eDkt9kJw-5zsk9076LVe794g0mJ2L-LnHE1yYAghZ-HGj491vb8tbW4qwUK4EGoD4diWSbWEk89UT6UFr44OUIMLny-dykiPz7MMuczug5UeDXDDbXr1rukqR2z7_ViCM3uQJM1semUoOG5TrxsViDg/s320/Contractually%20Yours%20Teaser%202.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">EXCERPT</span></b></p><p> My ex gives me a once-over and smirks. “Oh, I get it. Looking for a husband.”</p><p>I try not to snort. He doesn’t watch the news—thinks it’s boring—and his family apparently hasn’t updated him about my new status. Maybe they disowned him. Wouldn’t that be great?</p><p>He continues, “I don’t know why you waste your time like this. Look, I’m happy to let it go if you’ll just see the light and change your mind about our—”</p><p>“Don’t hold your breath.” He’s dumber than I thought, bringing up the engagement when I still can’t find enough mind bleach to erase seeing him with my sister.</p><p>“There you are,” comes Sebastian’s voice from behind me. “Oh, hello, Preston.”</p><p>When he stops next to me, I put my arm around his waist. “What perfect timing.” I smile up at him.</p><p>He gives me a mildly curious look, but wraps an arm around my shoulders.</p><p>See? This is what you get when you’re with a smart man. He knows the role you’d like him to play without your having to spell it out. The fact that he’s willing to play along without some prior commitment to reciprocate warms my heart. So many people want something first before doing anything for me.</p><p>Preston’s brow knits as he takes in the tableau. “You guys are together?”</p><p>I triple the wattage of my smile. “Preston, have you met my husband, Sebastian Lasker?”</p><p>“What?” His shout rings in the wide-open space. “You can’t marry him!”</p><p>“I can’t? Oh, that’s too bad.” I tighten my hold on Sebastian, pressing my side against his. “’Cause I kinda already did.” I extend my left hand, so Preston can see my gorgeous Toi et Moi ring and the wedding band.</p><p>Sebastian flashes his as well. Man, we make a great team.</p><p>Preston blinks rapidly, his eyes fixed on our hardware. Finally, he jerks his head up, his face blotchy. “Why would you want him when you could have me?”</p><p>“Seriously? Are you blind?” I ask.</p><p>“I can see well enough to know those diamonds are tiny compared to the one I was going to give you!” He points at my finger.</p><p>I drop my gaze to his crotch for a second before lifting it back up. “His is both bigger and better than yours.”</p><p>Preston looks like he just got punched in the face by Mike Tyson. Sebastian shakes against me in silent laughter.</p><p>“What’s so funny?” Preston snarls.</p><p>“You.” Sebastian lets the laugh out. “You’re third-rate comedy, but at least you’re entertaining.” He wipes tears from his eyes.</p><p>Preston turns to me. “You bitch! It’s all your fault he’s mocking me!”</p><p>Sebastian steps forward, pulling away from my arm around his waist, as the mirth melts from his face. “Watch your tone if you want to keep your teeth. Nobody talks to my wife with disrespect.”</p><p>I pat his back a few times, to let him know it isn’t necessary for him to react like this. Part of me is flattered and moved that he’s defending me, but another part feels a bit unworthy of his protection because… Well, I did force him to marry me.</p><p>Preston slashes the air with his arm. “She’s my fiancée!”</p><p>“She was.

Nobody seems good enough until Indy walks through the door. Even though he's still skeptical he ends up taking a chance on Indy and offering her the job. Indy does not want to be a nanny, but it will help her pay off her student loans and give her a chance to save money while only being a year long contract.</p><p>This was a little insta love burn and I wish we could have seen more of a build up between Indy and Jace. I enjoyed the characters though. Jace knows what he wants and just goes for it. I love that we got to see the other Kingston siblings with Jace and Indy and see how the relationship between Jace and his siblings are and his take on how they treat him. I loved watching Jace with Cohen and Indy with Cohen because Bella did a great job bringing the baby into the story. I can't wait to read about the next Kingston sibling! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOjf7Z6SUbbVY57pLqRW6EfqewlW2skngDqVFrJkOQ_6Gju6BkQUomQNOacnNRpgI75TImPsSwJtW-ZdT2l-KJzyHCbpcakdWXlheVNjtQThMkLUB8MK4HxfkWVawQYAFiY1SIxQYlhsqnh8rQioHy51QhB22as-vsiCpXfAEB5PoqXZ10nENvbQ/s2700/ALTIcedPBK-Ebook.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2700" data-original-width="1800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOjf7Z6SUbbVY57pLqRW6EfqewlW2skngDqVFrJkOQ_6Gju6BkQUomQNOacnNRpgI75TImPsSwJtW-ZdT2l-KJzyHCbpcakdWXlheVNjtQThMkLUB8MK4HxfkWVawQYAFiY1SIxQYlhsqnh8rQioHy51QhB22as-vsiCpXfAEB5PoqXZ10nENvbQ/w213-h320/ALTIcedPBK-Ebook.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><p></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Learn more about Bella Matthews and her releases by visiting her websites:</span></b></p><p><a href="https://bit.ly/bellamatthews.com">https://bit.ly/bellamatthews.com</a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQBzBHmmfJYG0cCwv9xi7hE3gFRNUce3fzgviJQ6mCv3PYtVmv_2oUpEi-1DJ7i1R1wQykDd030phuFHdnvDgSEW21KZPsOY1s3UB96dq4xi8nIYr_9QX9tWRQ8hSabBPWpBPnHfYbYY5BM8IY9rlQggrEQfnEYiX5U2_5Qi1MuuULXtx5Qq7cdQ/s1080/Iced%20-%20AN%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQBzBHmmfJYG0cCwv9xi7hE3gFRNUce3fzgviJQ6mCv3PYtVmv_2oUpEi-1DJ7i1R1wQykDd030phuFHdnvDgSEW21KZPsOY1s3UB96dq4xi8nIYr_9QX9tWRQ8hSabBPWpBPnHfYbYY5BM8IY9rlQggrEQfnEYiX5U2_5Qi1MuuULXtx5Qq7cdQ/s320/Iced%20-%20AN%20(1).jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p>Tales-of-a-bookworm23http://www.blogger.com/profile/04224760511966778213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4748533667662647456.post-2236754173902395432023-05-04T19:26:00.003-07:002023-05-04T19:26:08.914-07:00Runaway Love- Release Blitz!!<p> Runaway Love by Melanie Harlow is now live! </p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">BLURB:</span></b></p><p>Yes, I'm a single dad who needs a nanny for the summer.</p><p>But hire the stranded runaway bride who shows up on my doorstep in a wedding gown with no references, no skills, and no experience? </p><p>No one is that desperate. </p><p>Except within twenty-four hours, down-on-her-luck Veronica Sutton manages to charm my kids, my family, and half the population of Cherry Tree Harbor into believing she's perfect for the job.</p><p>And for me.</p><p>It's not that I can't see the appeal-those baby blue eyes?

Jensen is one of the town's firefighters and Vaughan brothers who just happens to have gone through some rough moments before Gracie arrives in town. After not having the best first impression Gracie and Jensen don't get along with each other hurling interesting insults at each other, except Jensen is always there to try and keep Gracie safe from herself. After Jensen falls down the stairs trying to help Gracie once again he becomes injured and the whole town thinks Gracie did it on purpose. Gracie is one of the best physical therapists in town and tasks herself with getting the town's beloved grump back to 100%. As the two spend more time together the bickering changes to combustible chemistry the two try to hide from the other. Will they both finally lower the walls around their hearts or will they continue to be enemies?</p><p>This was a great book with lots of humor, heart and heat. I loved the bickering between Jensen and Gracie and Gracie did not take any of Jensen's crap. I loved how the author showed Jensen's family and how close they all were and I hope we are going to get more books with the other siblings. I also loved the friendship between Gracie and Dani. I feel like I need to read Falling for the Grinch to see how Jensen and Gracie were in that book, but this one can be read as a standalone. Both Gracie and Jensen were going through things based on their pasts and I'm glad they had each other to see their pasts don't define them. Overall, if you are looking for a hilarious, small town romcom with two strong leads then this is a book for you.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9m-dKjc_h_uRTFVmOkH9x3CUlOvhUaslnP3n41VX1E8s96bKd9Cc9MYoa0Ti48sIOF4R2beraNHKHJFNQ5RamNARNIHTsKVdU-TeBLrH9UFEFhUr_nS2aG9UfRw2hg96ICahYSUUJMbRelJAXMSS0qzG8Y5Kt9OzxBb5pPPfzLpCzFX3IbTHFOA/s1080/FFTJ%20-%20AN%20Teaser.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9m-dKjc_h_uRTFVmOkH9x3CUlOvhUaslnP3n41VX1E8s96bKd9Cc9MYoa0Ti48sIOF4R2beraNHKHJFNQ5RamNARNIHTsKVdU-TeBLrH9UFEFhUr_nS2aG9UfRw2hg96ICahYSUUJMbRelJAXMSS0qzG8Y5Kt9OzxBb5pPPfzLpCzFX3IbTHFOA/s320/FFTJ%20-%20AN%20Teaser.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><b><span style="font-size: large;">Meet Amy Alves</span></b><p></p><p>Amy Alves writes hot, heartfelt small town romance that will make you laugh and swoon.
