Make-Believe Match- Release Blitz!!

Make-Believe Match by Melanie Harlow is now live!

BLURB:

𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝘆 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗺𝘆? 𝗡𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝘆.

𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆'𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗸𝗶 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘁? 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆...

Getting hitched is the only way I can inherit Snowberry Lodge, and I'll do anything to spare my childhood home from the wrecking ball-even wear Devlin Buckley's ring on my finger.

Not that I'll enjoy it.

Sure, he's charming and handsome, and that no-last-names one night stand we shared ended with a fantastically big bang (I saw stars I hadn't seen in six months, if you catch my drift).

But I'll never trust him-he was working for the company trying to bulldoze my life.

Right up until the day he knocked on my door with an offer I couldn't refuse.

Marry him, and he'll help me restore my family's crumbling resort to its former glory-and get revenge on his ex-boss in the process. Once our goals are achieved, we'll go our separate ways.

𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆. 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄.

𝗨𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗜 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀 "𝗺𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗳𝗲."

Once we're sharing a last name-and a bed-our make-believe match starts to feel a little too real.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗳 𝗜'𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹, 𝗜 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴…𝗺𝘆 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲, 𝗺𝘆 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁.

Risky Game-Release Blitz and review!!

Risky Game by Stacey Lynn is now live!

BLURB:

Romance between them is strictly off-limits, but forbidden attraction has never felt so irresistible…I’m playing a risky game…

I’m the brand new coach of the current Super Bowl Champions. If that isn’t hard enough, I’m also one of the youngest coaches in the league.

Coupled with a recently finalized divorce and the goal to take the team and the city of Nashville's fans by storm, my ex throws me for a loop when she says she’s sending our daughter to me so she can take an extended three-month vacation.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my little girl more than anything but suddenly becoming a full-time single dad and the Steele’s new coach rocks the turf beneath my feet. I need some help and I need it fast.

Enter Ruby Moore.

The answer to my prayers. She’s looking for a new start, is great with kids and is the perfect set of eyes to watch my daughter when I’m not around.

The problem? I think she is perfect for me too.

The other problem? She’s not only my nanny, but she’s also the younger sister of a guy I’m tasked with leading. She’s way too young and sweet for me and the way she loves Amelia makes my heart melt. I don’t expect her perfume to remind me of lazy beach days and for her smiles to become a craving I can’t live without. But I can’t stop thinking about her. Fleeting glances turn into deeper conversations and even more carnal nights.

Soon, she’s a forbidden addiction I can’t quit.

I know I'm playing a Risky Game, but can I keep the woman I've fallen in love with, while still maintaining the respect of the team I’m trying to lead to another Championship?

My Review:
My Rating: 4 Stars

Logan is the new coach of the Nashville Steel football team. 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.

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.

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.

Haven-Review!!!

BLURB:

Brandon Dixon came into my life like a quiet storm. Powerful and intense. I was sure he was my fresh start. But it turned out life had other plans.

We’ve spent the past decade avoiding each other until we can’t anymore. And if I thought a younger Brandon was hard to resist, that boy doesn’t hold a candle to the man standing in front of me now. Bigger, broader, and more protective than ever, ignoring him is impossible.

The longer we fight our attraction, the higher and hotter the flame grows—until one night and one elevator change everything.

My Review:
My Rating: 4 Stars

I love Bella's writing and have read every book, except the short stories. 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.

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.

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.
