Power Twist-Release Blitz, Review and Giveaway!!!
Power Twist by Kennedy L. Mitchell
Series: Power Play #2
Release Date: February 18, 2020
BLURB
With the campaign over, a new devious challenge awaits.
I thought the toughest part was behind us. Stupid me. Now I have to live with the consequences of winning, some that make me regret ever stepping foot in this city. Day one in office I learn of the president’s true plan, one so manipulative I can’t allow it to come to fruition. But with zero allies to call on, I’ll need to work with my enemies to stand a chance at stopping him.
At least I have Trey, even if our scorching-hot affair can only happen in secret. Until the best part of my new life makes his own deal with a devil, I’m forced to make a choice. I can’t have it all in this power game they’ve woven, and watching me flounder is just part of their sick fun. Or can I play the game, change the rules, and have everything in the end?
Too bad for me, luck has never been on my side. It’s sink or swim here in DC, and I’m the idiot wearing cement shoes to the party.
Power Twist is the SECOND book in the five-book Power Play series offering more twists, turns and HEAT. Each book cannot be read as a standalone. All five books follow one main couple’s relationship as it grows through a five year time period. It’s suspenseful, steamy, and oh so unputdownable. If you’re a fan of Tiffany Snow, Meghan March, and Skye Warren then this series is for YOU!

My Review:
My Rating: 4 stars
This story starts off with Randi being in the white house as VP. We follow the first year of Randi as VP and see how much has changed since she first started the campaign. In this book Randi fights for her morals and the promises she made. While I didn't initially care for Randi I felt closer to her in this book. Maybe I finally understand where she is coming from and trying to fight for what you believe in. If you loved Trey or Trouble in book 1 you will still love him in book 2. He tries to help and protect Randi to the best of his ability even when it might not be the smartest choice to make. We learn more about Trey's past and his family in this book. I also loved reading about Tank and how much he cares for both Randi and Trey and his friendship with both of them. For me this book was better than the first. Whereas, the first book was setting everything up this book had a lot of action, suspense, and chemistry. Plus it ended in a bigger cliffhanger than the first one. I can't wait to read the 3rd book of the series.

My Review
My Rating: 4 stars
I received an arc in exchange for an honest review. This duet begins with Theo aka Derrick Arlington's body double. Theo is supposed to keep a low profile and just pretend to be Derrick for a month, except he gets assigned a bodyguard named Zia and sparks fly. The only problem when your pretending to be someone else and become romantically entangled with that person..the truth always comes out. We end the first book with Zia seeing Theo leaning over a injured Derrick. This book had angst, sweet moments and chemistry. Afterall, you can't expect Zia to automatically forgive Theo for lying to her. There is a push and pull with this relationship.
We do get to know Derrick and he is a complicated person. I love how Nana can tie up one couple's story so nicely while also ending on a small cliffhanger to introduce the next duet.
EXCERPT
Zia...
Liar.
Conman.
Duplicitous fuck.
As I leaned against the wall of the makeshift medical room we'd set up in the penthouse, I thought about the two versions of the man I had started to fall for.
Two versions of one of the richest men in the world. One of them was a billionaire, Derrick Arlington. And the other was someone I didn't know.
And currently, one of them was bleeding all over what looked like a massage table.
I'd fallen in love with a mirage. None of what I'd felt had been real.
As the doctor Royal Elite had on call worked to patch up Derrick, I watched them both. The resemblance was beyond uncanny. They were freaking identical.
No. You can tell them apart.
Right now, I could. But without the scruff and long hair, would I be able to?
I forced myself to take a closer look. To focus on what was different, what stood out.
For starters, Theo, or whoever the hell he was, had broken his nose. There was a slight bump in the ridge. It was barely noticeable, but it distinguished them. That and the eyes, that stormy gray, surrounded by thick lashes. They were the same shape and color, but Arlington's were a little closer together. Or maybe a little wider. It was hard to tell now as he had a cut above one and it was nearly swollen shut.
Heightwise, they looked about the same, but I couldn't be sure. They weighed about the same. And I only knew that because I'd helped drag Arlington off the beach with Theo, who had mumbled some bullshit about me not finding out that way. And sorry, sorry blah blah blah. If I was being honest, the shock had rendered me deaf and dumb right then.
But once the crisis was over, my voice was back, and I had a shit ton to say. Starting with Liar. Conman. Duplicitous fuck.
It didn't matter what form of explanation came out of his mouth. As far as I was concerned, he was full of shit.

AUTHOR BIO
USA Today Bestselling Author, NANA MALONE’s love of all things romance and adventure started with a tattered romantic suspense she borrowed from her cousin on a sultry summer afternoon in Ghana at a precocious thirteen. She’s been in love with kick butt heroines ever since.
With her overactive imagination, and channeling her inner Buffy, it was only a matter a time before she started creating her own characters. Waiting for her chance at a job as a ninja assassin, Nana, meantime works out her drama, passion and sass with fictional characters every bit as sassy and kick butt as she thinks she is.
The books in her series have been on multiple Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble best seller lists as well as the iTunes Breakout Books list and most notably the USA Today Bestseller list.
Until that ninja job comes through, you’ll find Nana working hard on additional books for her series as well as other fun, sassy romances for characters that won’t leave her alone. And if she’s not working or hiding in the closet reading, she’s acting out scenes for her husband, daughter and puppy in sunny San Diego.

My Review:
My Rating: 4 stars
This is the second book in the BTU Alumni series and the second book by this author I've read. I felt the author did a better job this time going back and forth between the two main characters P.O.V's. Rocky is a physical therapist at her dad's gym where her celebrity crush has just joined as a fighter. I don't normally read fighter romances, but I enjoyed the this one. Rocky is a kick butt woman, who can handle herself in any situation. Gage knows this and doesn't try to stop Rocky from doing her thing. He's also someone who knows what or who they want and goes for it. The chemistry and friendship between the Gage and Rocky is awesome. This relationship isn't just based on looks, but they really get to know each other. Jake and Jordan from the previous book are in this book too so you still get a glimpse into their lives, while introducing more characters of various backgrounds. This series seems like it will have a sports trope for anyone.

My Review:
Rating: 3.5 stars
I liked this book better than the first. Ryan is the middle brother and when he first sees Hope he wants her. They end up getting together and soon a baby is on it's way. One of the problems in their way is Hope is the daughter of the MC President. I loved the chemistry and realness of this couple. Ryan comes off as confident, but once you are inside his head you see how anxious about stuff he is. Hope is not what you would expect as a daughter of the MC President and I liked that. Ryan is still trying to deal with his family drama as he and Hope try to get to know each other better. This was a cute story with just a little angst and honestly nothing too bad. I thought the epilogue was cute too.
Bonus Excerpt!
I pulled away with a soft laugh. “We better get to the bed before I lose the ability to use my knees.”
“Lead the way.”
I rolled my eyes, grabbed his hand, and pulled him toward the bed. Turning, I sat on the edge of the bed and eyed Ryan expectantly. How did I do this again?
Ryan chuckled as he toed off his work boots. They fell to the floor with a thump. “You should see your face right now.”
“Do I look freaked? Because I feel kinda freaked. I don’t know how to do this. I mean, I’ve done this before—just not this this, ya know?”
“Hey, hey.” Ryan sat next to me on the edge of the bed. “There’s no right way or wrong way to do this. There’s no game plan or checklist or whatever. We just do whatever feels right, whatever you want.”
“Okay.” I gave a shuddering sigh as I looked into his gorgeous eyes. “Then I want you to kiss me.”
“Maybe we should—”
“No. You said whatever feels right. And it always feels right when you kiss me.” I leaned into him and his arm came around my shoulders and settled in a way that just…felt right. “Please.”
Ryan groaned. “Christ. You have no idea what it does to me when you bring out the eyes. You could ask me anything, and I’d probably do it.”
“Then kiss me already.”
He leaned toward me, his lips hovering over mine, and then he whispered, “As long as you promise to only use your powers for good.”
“No promises,” I whispered back.
Ryan’s eyes flared and he groaned. “Fuck me.”
Then his lips covered mine, and I lost the ability to think. All I could do was feel. His amazing lips. The way his hair felt in my hands because I had to hold him somewhere. The way my heart raced when he suckled on my tongue.
Minutes later I was the one tugging frantically at his clothing because I had to feel him. Everywhere.
Ryan’s laugh was husky in my ear and made me want to moan. “I think the only thing hotter than your gorgeous eyes is how eager you are right now.”
I swung my leg over his hips so I could straddle him. Looking into his eyes, I smiled wickedly.
Ryan cleared his throat unevenly. “Uh, I stand corrected. Apparently you can get way hotter.”
The power I felt in that moment… The fact that I had this man, this crazy hot guy, so worked up and just willing to do anything that I wanted? I think I could’ve come from that thought alone.
Then I pulled his shirt up and over his head.
Or maybe the view of his hard, tattooed body would send me over the edge.
I ran an appreciative hand over the art covering his chest and arms. The heart on his left pec with “family” written in script. The flamed motorcycle racing down his arm. And the muscles. Sweet baby Jesus, the muscles! He had so many muscles I couldn’t even…
He took advantage of my temporary paralysis and tugged my shirt up and over my head. A reverent expression stole across his face. “Ah, Hope. You’re just…”
He trailed off in a groan before he took my lips again in a harsh, hungry kiss.
I ached to feel those lips on my nipples. Unconsciously arching toward him, I moaned into his mouth. Finally I couldn’t take it anymore. I reached behind me to unclasp my bra but my fingers were swiftly batted away by Ryan’s. He made quick work of the clasp and then my bra was falling down my arms, baring me to Ryan’s hungry eyes.
“Christ, they’re even more gorgeous than I imagined.” He lifted a hand and cupped the underside of my left breast.
My cheeks heated with his compliment. Or the contact. I didn’t know which. I bit my lip and looked down at where his tanned, calloused fingers held my pale breast. “You’ve been thinking about my boobs for a while?”
Ryan groaned and brushed his stubbled cheek against my nipple. “All night. And occasionally when I was alone the last few months. I couldn’t get you out of my head after that first night. How you looked. That scent. The way your voice sounded.”
“And my boobs?” I teased. But still, I was caught by the way he remembered me. I’d had such an impact on him that he thought about me, too?
“There’s no way to get these babies out of my mind.” Ryan murmured as he rasped his cheek against my hard nipple again. Then he finally stopped teasing me and gave what I craved. He captured the tip of my breast in his mouth and suckled hard.
And I melted. I think I groaned or something. I know I burrowed a hand into his hair and held him against me. Like I was afraid he’d try to get away.
Ryan pulled back—as much as my greedy hands would let him—and blew gently on my wet nipple before turning his head and laving attention on my other, poor, neglected tip.
I closed my eyes and let my head fall back as the sensations shrouded me. I wanted more. I wanted deeper. I wanted him all. My thighs clenched and I was seconds away from my second orgasm of the night when Ryan pulled away with a groan.
“Shit, beautiful.” His breath was warm against my shoulder. “You keep grinding on me like that and this show is gonna be over before I even get out of my pants.”

Stealing Home Review
Stealing Home by Harlow Cole
Book 2 in the St. Michaels Duet
Synopsis:
Ashley
I’ve given up. On my childish dreams.
On getting out of this town. On love. On him.
On everything.
I’m barely treading water.
Brayden
I’m the man with it all.
The pinstriped jersey covering my back garners easy cash, flashy cars and fast women. My gilded name drapes over the city in neon. I have everything. Everything, except the thing I crave most. Ashley Foster.
There’s one addiction I never tried to beat.
They say you can never go home again. I’m out to prove them wrong. But what if returning requires facing all the things you destroyed? To what lengths would you go to earn forgiveness?
Would you beg? Would you borrow? Would you steal?
Stealing home is the riskiest move in baseball. But the reward... If it works? Winning her back is a chance I’m finally ready to take.
My pockets are filled with stars.
It’s time to follow them home.
This time, I don’t want to steal her firsts,
I want to lay claim on all her lasts.

My Review:
Rating: 5 stars
Ashley and Brayden are not the same kids they used to be. Ashley is struggling to hold her life and her family together. Brayden is a big shot baseball player who has injured his shoulder and has come home to get back his girl. This book broke my heart and pieced it all back together. I couldn't blame Ashley for how she reacted after seeing Brayden again and I loved how Brayden fought for Ashley's forgiveness. This book hit a raw spot with me and something I am still coming to terms with. I won't give it away because it is a pretty big spoiler. Maybe that's why this book resonated so deep inside me. Harlow did a great job at writing her characters and you could feel the pain, heartbreak, anger, frustration, chemistry, and forgiveness throughout the various characters. I hope Harlow writes more books on these characters because I would love to read Nathan's story next. This book is angsy and real and at times you get frustrated with the characters, but that's the best thing when you are reading a book. That means the book means something to you. This was the perfect ending for Ashley and Brayden and that's all I could ask for from this author. Also, the fact that this is Harlow's debut duet I will definitely be checking out more of her work when she releases it. Read below for an excerpt.
Excerpt
I pumped the gas pedal a half-dozen times, trying to will the thing back to life, as I coasted to the gravel shoulder on the side of the road. I slumped forward, resting my forearms and brow against the oversized steering wheel, locked inside disbelief of the shittiest luck possible. I’d become one of those blow-up punching dolls with the sand in the bottom. The kind fists keep pummeling ’cause the stupid thing never has the sense to stay down.
Begrudgingly, I popped the hood release and hopped down out of the cab. I had no clue how to diagnose the problem, but broken-down suckers on the roadside always pretend to look at the engine.
I played along.
Stepping up onto the rusted front bumper, I stared at the pile of dirty metal while daydreaming about tossing a match inside and walking away. At least bending over under the hood shielded part of me from the rain.
The sound of tires crunching through the gravel behind the truck brought a sigh of sweet relief. I looked back up at the heavens and felt bad for not trusting my angel to send help. Jumping down from my perch on the bumper, I brushed my hands down the front of my khaki shorts as I rounded the front of the cab to call out to my hero. Cruel disbelief blossomed in the back of my throat.
“You’ve got to be shitting me. This is not happening.”
He’s still in town?
It had been almost a week. A week of trying to make myself believe our run-in at Foxy’s was just another bad dream. Six freaking days of convincing myself life couldn’t possibly be that cruel. I’d avoided the town gossip machine buzzing furiously about his sudden return. But no one else would drive that car. It looked like money on wheels. The black paint and sleek lines made my truck’s chipped blue exterior and scratched marina logo look even more pathetic. Some folks in St. Michaels had seen a Maserati.
Nobody in town drove one.
Certainly not one with New York plates.
I lifted my face to the rain, letting it wash away my urge to cry, as the driver’s side door popped open, and my worst day of the week took a turn for my worst day ever. He was dressed casually in a pair of shiny black athletic shorts and a plain gray sweatshirt, slightly frayed across the bottom hem by time and fondness. The hood bunched up around his neck, framing the sharp jawline that sported thick, dark scruff.
Brayden Ross turned gym-rat attire into the costume of a sex god.
He suffered from that strange anomaly that saddled people with fame and fortune. As a little girl, I’d seen it in his father and his father’s friends. They seemed crisper around the edges or something. Like brand-new bills freshly spit from the ATM instead of crumpled dollars that spent life stuffed in back pockets and sweaty bras.
He didn’t walk toward me; he prowled.
Slow and steady with this sexy gait that deserved its own theme music.
The rain didn’t even try to touch him.
This second sighting didn’t level the same sucker punch. More like a queasy dysphoria. A bad case of déjà vu that punctured skin and vein. Half of me wanted to run, throw my arms around his waist, and hold on for dear life. The other half wanted to put my hands around his neck and squeeze hard.

Bossy Brothers: Joey Excerpt and giveaway
EXCERPT
JOEY
They’re on the loveseat facing the window and in profile from my view. Huck is down on his knees, head between Brooke’s legs. She’s gripping his hair, head thrown back, eyes closed, and her plump mouth open to allow the moans to escape.
Huck reaches up, grabs the front of her sundress, and drags it down so her bra is exposed. He does that again with the bra, and her tits bounce out. All the while he’s licking her pussy.
One hand grabs one breast and squeezes. Hard. Hard enough to make Brooke whimper. And the other one slides between her legs.
He fingers her as I watch, my dick getting hard at the sight of them.
Footsteps on the stairs make me look over my shoulder. Wald comes up around the banister. Saying nothing, but looking me dead in the eyes.
He licks his lips and I turn back to keep watching.
Wald’s hands slide around my hips and his chest presses into my back as he reaches for my already hard cock beneath my slacks.
“Wald,” I say. But it’s so soft, I don’t think he hears me.
Lie. It’s a lie. He hears me.
They planned this.
He and Huck planned this on the way over.
Wald grabs my hand and reaches for his dick, placing my palm over his growing hardness under his pants. He squeezes himself using my hand to do it and I fucking moan. I can’t help it.
Then he’s kissing my neck, whispering, “Come on, dude. Play along. You know you want to,” in my ear as he begins to unbuckle my belt.
I suck in a breath of air, thinking up a reason why I should stop him.
But there’s no good reason. We’ve already crossed the line again.
Where did I really think this day would end up?
I brought a girl in. I let them both have their fun. And I had mine too. Then I gave her a ring and bought her a house and told them they were staying here with us.
I can say it’s all for Maisy. And that might still be true.
But this is the real me, isn’t it?
This is the reason why I never settled down. Why I let Charlotte leave me behind the day Maisy was born. Why I never came back here to the city where I was raised. Where my brothers still live.
It’s because I have always wanted more than I have.
I’m a selfish, greedy motherfucker and that’s never going to change.
Wald has my zipper down now. I’m still holding his cock through his jeans. He’s hard, and I’m hard, and there’s no way we’re not doing this.
He pulls my cock out and starts to jerk me off. Leaning his chest into my back. His lips kissing my neck.
“Come on,” he says.
I turn my head a little. I can feel his breath on the side of my cheek. His lips drag along the stubble of my jaw until he catches the corner of my mouth with his teeth.
Brooke is moaning in the other room and I turn my head back to watch. Huck is climbing up her stomach, kissing it as he unbuckles his belt and gets his pants open. He pulls his cock out and fists it, her looking up at him. He takes her hand and wraps it around his shaft and gives her a little push. A little encouragement.
Brooke begins to tug on him, their eyes still locked together.
Wald squeezes my dick, reminding me who I’m with right now.
I lean into the doorjamb. My right hand behind me, squeezing Wald’s dick as he gets his pants undone and pulls himself out. He hands it to me.
That’s the only way to describe that move. He takes my hand and places it over his cock and I automatically begin to mimic Brooke as she jerks Huck in the other room.
She’s got her mouth open now. Still looking up at my friend like he’s got all the answers.
Wald’s hands are on my hips. He presses forward until his cock is rubbing up against my ass. One hand slides down along the diagonal muscle of my waist and grabs my balls.
I suck in a breath of air and close my eyes. Holding in the moan that wants to escape.
But Brooke is giving Huck a sloppy blow job and I want to watch it.
So I open my eyes and see Huck staring back at me.
“Come here,” he whispers.

With her overactive imagination, and channeling her inner Buffy, it was only a matter a time before she started creating her own characters.

Kickin' It- Review
Kickin' It by Rachel Van Dyken
Synopsis: Provided by Goodreads
Love breaks the offside rule in New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken’s irresistibly sexy Red Card romance.
Successful, high-profile sports agent Matt Kingston thinks he can handle anything. Then soccer player Parker Speedman shows up at his door. She is young and gorgeous, has natural talent, and is looking for a team. She’s also a hothead with a punchy past who floored her last coach on live TV. Despite his misgivings, Matt agrees to be both her agent and her coach. Professional common sense says she’s off-limits. But what can he say about the raw attraction between them?
Parker plays soccer with her heart and soul. But after the events of the last year, she’s shaken. She’s already seen what a powerful man can do to a female athlete’s career. And her beloved dream is in the hands of a sexy, gorgeous man with the uncanny ability to slip past her defenses…and into her heart.
Now Matt and Parker are about to learn that when it comes to love, the only way to win is by breaking every rule they know. And by playing nice. Real nice.
My Review:
Rating: 4.5 stars
I received an advanced copy of this book for an honest review. I enjoyed this book. This is the second book in the red card series, however it can be read as a stand alone. This book focuses on sports agent Matt Kingston and soccer player Parker. Matt's sister Willow uses Matt's lack of focus on their conversation to gain her and Parker a invitation to stay at his house until Willow's trial period of being an intern in Matt's company is over. Matt practically raised Willow and their relationship of annoying younger sister to older brother is hilarious and adds a lot of humor to the story.
Parker is trying to get on a new team after having problems with her last team and being labeled a hot head. Matt views Parker as a client, which makes her off limits and added to the fact is that she is younger than him. Parker had a bad experience, which makes her distrust men. In the beginning Matt is a little bit of a jerk to Parker, however, once he starts to watch her and learns what happened to her he becomes her confidant. The relationship between the two is more than just lust and is based on feelings too.
This story has the perfect mix of comedy, angst, romance and lust. I feel Rachel touched on a matter that happens to many women not just in sports, but in other areas and handled it very well. I was glad to see that Parker was able to stand up on her own and become a hero to other women who have gone through something similar to what happened to her. I hope Rachel writes Jagger and Willow's story.
This book releases June 11, 2019 and I highly suggest you pre-order it for a great summer read.

Cold Book Review
Synopsis: Goodreads
I wanted a second chance. What I got was a repeat.
She was too beautiful. Too smart. And her emerald green eyes saw too much.
I wanted space—she took it away.
I craved her lips—she gave me her kiss.
I screwed it up—she got smart.
Avoiding me is the right thing to do. I’m messed up, tortured, and probably always will be.
But I still want her.
Her mind. Her body. Her heart.
I want it all.
And this time, I’m in control.
No matter what I have to do, I will make her mine.
Note: Levi and Ivy’s story will continue in Book Three—Fox.
Rating: 4.5 stars
After reading the first book of this series I had to get my hands on the other two books. This book takes place right after Stone. This book focuses more on Levi and Ivy's relationship. This book contains more angst and the cliffhanger at the end seriously almost made me pull an all nighter and finish the series.
In book 2 Levi knows he messed up and he was an ass. Levi is trying to get Ivy to understand his past and how he became the man he is now. I loved Levi finally sharing his past with Ivy and I loved that Ivy didn't just automatically forgive him. He had to work for her forgiveness. Ivy stayed true to herself and even though she was still stubborn most of the times I felt it was realistic. I loved seeing the sisterhood of Ivy and Cami and even though their relationship was strained at times it felt natural. In this book the past comes back to the present and the cliffhanger will make your heart drop and reach for the third book to continue the series.
I will say this book was a little predictable, but I am so excited to start the third book.
