Falling For The Jerk- Release Blitz and Review!!

 Falling for the Jerk by Amy Alves is now live!

BLURB:

It was an accident, I swear. Jensen Vaughn may be the absolute worst, but I didn't push him down those stairs.

Not intentionally, anyway.

It was supposed to be my graceless butt lying in a broken heap at the bottom of the steps.

But no, the golden boy firefighter and beloved town hero had to take the fall meant for me.

He saved me.

And now the whole town thinks I maimed him on purpose.

So despite our mutual disdain, I'm compelled to help the surly man determined to endure his recovery alone.

Fortunately for him, I'm not deterred by doors slamming in my face.

Because the physical therapist most qualified to get him back on his feet (literally) is me.

Convincing him to put aside our differences long enough for me to help with his recovery was hard.

Accidentally falling for the jerk? Stupidly easy.

My Review:
My Rating: 4 Stars

Gracie is new to the small town and while she's a little accident prone she does her best to not be such a clutz. 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?

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.

Hot Stuff- Blog Tour!!

 Hot Stuff, an all-new sexy and swoon-worthy rom com from New York Times bestselling author Max Monroe is available now!

BLURB:

Have you ever seen a fireman who’s so insanely sexy you’d actually consider DIY-ing a little at-home arson just so he’d show up at your front door?

Dramatic, I know, but hear me out.

Chiseled hot body, bright blue eyes, and the sexiest smile I’ve ever seen, the first time I saw Garrett Alexander in my exam room, it took everything inside me not to do something crazy like mount him during his yearly physical.

Not only is he a total babe, but he’s charming, hilarious, and the kind of single dad that would make your ovaries explode—the total freaking package.

I know you’re probably wondering, What in the heck are you waiting for, girl? Go get yourself a fireman!

But, see, there’s one teeny-tiny (read: huge) problem—if we got together, we’d have to keep our relationship a secret.

I know. Who even am I? Some heroine in a freaking forbidden romance novel?

Let me guess, now you’re probably thinking...Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Don’t do it, girl. Don’t fall for the sexy, off-limits man. It’s not worth it.

Well, too late. I already went and did it.

And I have a feeling this fire of ours is going to go up in a big, mushroom-cloud-worthy, ball of figurative smoke.

EXCERPT

Suddenly, the door to Garrett’s room cracks open, and he peeks his head out, damn near startling me into another dimension.

Noticing my hysterical jump and defensive pose, he quiets his voice to a whisper. “Sorry to, um, startle you. I just… I’m ready.”

“Of course. Yeah.” I nod feverishly, follow him into the room, and take a few discreet, calming breaths to slow down the rate at which my heart is sprinting inside my chest. Honestly, for a woman who did gymnastics in her childhood, you’d think my cardiovascular system would be able to tolerate adrenaline a little better than this. A minor startle from a hot fireman and I’m panting like a dog in heat.

His gown covers everything, but it’s strangely anticipatory and it feels like I’m seeing more of him than I should. It’s weird and odd and completely irrational. So, I shut my eyes for a brief moment and force myself into doctor mode.

“Just take a seat on the exam table, please,” I instruct him with a gesture of my hand.

He does without question.

Then I start my assessment.

First, his vital signs. Blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature.

All good. All within normal limits.

Next, with my stethoscope, I listen to his heart and lungs and abdomen.

Also, good. Steady, strong, clear.

“Am I going to live to see another day, Dr. Lauren?” he asks once I finish a quick reflex check, smirking up at me from his spot on the exam table, and I can’t not return his expression with a grin.

“Yes, it appears that you will,” I answer and make a few notes in his chart. “Now, if you don’t mind, please stand up in front of the exam table so I can…uh…check…your…uh…testicles.”

Okay, Lauren. Be cool. Be. Cool. It’s just another day at the office, and Garrett is just another set of anatomy...

Between The Lines- Release Blitz and Review

BLURB:

Justin Tibbs— Bailing and heading to Tessa’s apartment. If you don’t hear from me in twenty-four hours, she’s probably killed and tossed me in the Hudson. Tell everyone it was a good way to go, and I’m not even sorry. Enjoy the rest of your night, I know I sure will be.

Jared Leighton – Tibbs, do NOT screw around. She is NYPD and a friend, have you completely lost your mind?

Justin Tibbs —Sorry, brother, I need to see this through. I haven’t been this intrigued by a woman in a very long time. Worth dying over. Been nice knowing you.

Jared Leighton— Tibbs, come back to the bar before it’s too late.

Jared Leighton—Tibbs!

Jared Leighton— Jesus Christ.

My Review:
My Rating: 4 Stars

Justin and Tessa work in the same precinct, Justin as a firefighter and Tessa as a police officer. While Tessa can appreciate how hot Justin is, he has a reputation of being a manwhore. Tessa has worked too hard to fall victim to his charms, except he wasn't really trying until he saw her out of her uniform and realized there was more to Tessa than what he initially thought. Can Tessa resist his charms?

This was a cute story. I enjoyed the banter between Justin and Tessa and how they both respected and understood the other's job. I think this is the third book of the series but can be read as a standalone. I didn't care for the drama towards the end, however, I appreciate the way the author handled it differently than most authors would have. A little vague I know but I don't want to spoil anything. If you are looking for strong characters with witty banter and steam, this book is for you. 

Meet T. Gephart

T Gephart is a USA Today and International bestselling author from Melbourne, Australia.

With an approach to life that is somewhat unconventional, she prefers to fly by the seat of her pants rather than adhere to some rigid roadmap. Her lack of "plan" has resulted in a rather interesting and eclectic resume, which reads more like the fiction she writes than an actual employment history. She'd tell you all about it, but the statute of limitations hasn't expired yet. But all those crazy twists and turns have led her to a career she loves--writing romantic comedy.

When she isn't filling pages with sassy and sexy characters with attitude, she's living her own reality show in the 'burbs of Melbourne with her American husband, two teenage children, and her fur child--Woodley.

She loves adventure, to laugh, travel, and strives to live her life to the fullest.

Not Just Friends-Release Blitz and Review

BLURB:

A little harmless flirting never hurt anyone.

Jared Leighton

Presley, I screwed up, I’m sorry. You were vulnerable and I was supposed to be the good guy. Last thing I ever wanted to do was betray your trust, or worse, hurt you. I should never have even kissed you, let alone . . . yeah, well we both know how that ended. You’re my best friend’s sister for Christ’s sake, what was I even thinking? Clearly, I wasn’t. I’m so mad at myself, I want to break my own legs, save Tibbs the trouble. So yeah, I know this isn’t much of an apology, but I needed to make sure you’re okay. Let me know things are still cool between us or at least, what I can do to make it up to you. And it’s probably for the best if we keep this between just us. I swear on my mother, I’ll never touch you again.

 

Presley Tibbs

Leighton, not sure who you thought you were with last night, but it wasn’t some vulnerable little girl who needs protecting. I assumed that was pretty clear when I took you to MY bed. Don’t pretend that last night wasn’t exactly what we both wanted. We’ve been flirting with each other for years, and I finally got tired of playing games. As for my brother, he doesn’t and will never have a say in who I invite into my life or body—not his business. But if you’re scared that’s your hang up not mine. So save your apology, and your good intentions, and don’t treat me like I’m a woman who didn’t know what she was doing. Oh, and tell your mother I said hi.

My Review:

My Rating: 4 Stars

 This is the first book I have read by T. Gephart, but it probably won't be my last. T. Gephart has done something so few writers have done well lately. She wrote a strong heroine, who is strong enough to know when they need help and allow others to help them and that it's not a weakness to need help from another person.Presley was also fiercely independent at times.

One night Presley and her brothers best friend, Leighton, give in and sleep together. After sleeping with his best friend's sister, Leighton, end up freaking out about the consequences. The only problem is that Presley has a crazy ex boyfriend turned stalker and Leighton and her brother, Pitt's, will do anything to keep her safe. Now Presley and Leighton have to decide if they want to stay friends or if they should be a couple.

I enjoyed the hot firemen and how sweet Leighton could be. I liked that he wanted what was best for Presley and let her continue to be a independent woman. I also enjoyed what happened after the climax of the story and how the author dealt with the aftermath.
