Maybe Swearing Will Help by Lani Lynn Vale Release Blitz

MAYBE SWEARING WILL HELP

By Lani Lynn Vale

Release Date:  March 10, 2020

 

Ford Spurlock has known Ashe Trammel since they were babies.

He’s also done his level best to stay away from her because every time he gets to within five feet of her, they’re fighting like cats and dogs.

Ashe is the apple of her father’s eye. The motorcycle club princess that was never to be harmed in any way—or touched for that matter. And he’s always resented the fact that she could get away with things that he couldn’t. Things that she then blames on him and he always gets punished for.

Fast forward to adulthood, and Ashe is still off limits. Still driving him insane. Still…beautiful.

She never misses an opportunity to give him hell, either.

That has to be why he agrees to do a photoshoot for KPD SWAT that’ll benefit her charity even when he’d rather shoot himself in the foot with his duty weapon.

* * *

Ashe never thought he’d agree.

Honestly, she thought she’d ask him, he’d say no, and that’d be the end of it.

She never realized that she’d leave his photo up in her cubicle, and it’d be the last thing that she saw every night as she locked her office door.

When they were kids, Ford used to be that boy that threw dirt at her and pulled her hair.

Now, he’s the same Ford Spurlock, only a whole lot sexier. And a lot harder to say no to.

When he challenges her to one date, she has no other recourse but to agree.

What she didn’t agree to was falling in love with Mr. March. Or wanting to give him everything she had to give.

REVIEW:

Lani Lynn Vale’s original KPD-SWAT series is one of my favorites from her, and it’s been so much fun to revisit those characters and get to know their children, along with some new characters, in this second generation series. Vale has created something truly unique for her readers in her fictional East Texas world. She’s been building this world for years—story by story and series by series—through many crisscrossing, overlapping books. Vale has given her readers an incredible reading experience, rich in unmatched character development and a world full of familiar faces.

Maybe Swearing Will Help, the third book in the S.W.A.T. Generation 2.0 series from Lani Lynn Vale, was a frenemies-to-lovers romance between Ashe Trammel and Ford Spurlock. Friends since childhood, Ashe and Ford have a complicated love/hate relationship in that they love to pretend they hate each other while also kind of hating the fact that they actually love each other.

“It was like a pasture fire deep in the middle of a Texas drought. He went from one extreme to the other. A whisper of smoke to totally consumed in point five seconds.”

Bickering, bantering and betting their way through life, Ashe and Ford’s fierce rivalry raged between them their whole lives. They try to snuff out the heat burning between them with sarcasm, snappy arguments and dares. But that fire never fizzles out, and eventually it engulfs them. I loved everything about these two. They fit together so well, and succumbing to the love they felt for each other felt like a natural progression of their relationship. They worked well together on every level, and I loved how their relationship morphed and changed when they finally gave in to their feelings. Vale introduced a suspense arc that will probably play out over a few books, and I loved how Ashe and Ford both dove into that case and worked it together.

Maybe Swearing Will Help was a sexy, sweet, soul-deep love story between two life-long friends, and Vale did a fantastic job weaving an exciting suspense story, along with plenty of humor, into this romance. Five smooches from me for Maybe Swearing Will Help by Lani Lynn Vale!

Down and Dirty by Kendall Ryan Review

4.5 SMOOCHES!

   

* * * * * * * * * *

SYNOPSIS:

Your favorite hot jocks are back with an all new stand-alone novel.

Whoops.

Last night in Vegas is a blur. There were drunken shenanigans … And now I’m waking up naked wrapped around Landon freaking Covington, my incredibly hot younger guy friend, with a wedding ring on my finger and a marriage certificate on the table next to me.

Like I said, whoops. I’m thirty. I should know better, but what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right?

Well, apparently not.

Because I’ve married the last alpha-male virgin on the planet. Yep, virgin. And my stubborn, oddly traditional new husband doesn’t want a divorce. He wants me.

If you like sexy, confident men who know how to handle a stick (on and off the ice), and smart women who are strong enough to keep all those big egos in check, this series of athlete romances is perfect for you!

(Books can be enjoyed in any order.)

* * * * * * * * * *

REVIEW:

I am loving Kendall Ryan’s Hot Jocks series so much! She has been creatively blending the friends-to-lovers trope with another to form distinct and personal romantic foundations for each couple in this hockey-themed series. Every single one of these stories has been unique, thoroughly entertaining and smoking hot. There are definitely feels to be felt in each of these romances, but nothing overwhelmingly angsty. Ryan layers in just enough conflict to keep readers engaged, but these stories are lighter-hearted, feel-good, pleasures to read. I simply can’t get enough of these completely swoon-worthy hockey players and their feisty, fiery women, and I am officially addicted.

Landon has just completed his rookie year, and even though he’s the new guy, his teammates have welcomed him into their crew. During a joint bachelor/bachelorette weekend in Vegas for his teammate, Owen, and his bride-to-be, Becca, Landon and Aubree, one of the bride’s best friends, learn that what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay there when they wake up after a night of drunken shenanigans with more than just a hangover.

Cautious and career-focused, Aubree’s main concern is their seven-year age difference. The thing about that, though, was that more often than not, it was Landon, the younger one of the two of them, who was the calm, cool voice of reason. He was mature beyond his years, decisive and determined. He knew what he wanted—an honest chance with Aubree to build something real. He was patient and thoughtful, and I loved how his introspections allowed him to be really open and vulnerable with her. He may have lacked some practical experience, but there was no mistaking his desire for her. His reverent explorations of her coupled with his natural alpha personality was so incredibly hot. The fact that they didn’t rush to consummate their relationship, focusing their intimate activities instead on discovering, learning and experimenting with each other, was even hotter. I’ll admit that there were times I was screaming in my head at Aubree to open her eyes and her heart to this sexy, kind and sweet man before her. It took her a while to get there, but once she did, she was all in.

Down and Dirty was another awesome story in a series full of them. Landon and Aubree’s chemistry was off the charts, and I loved their sexy, slow burn romance. This was one seriously swoony and steamy part friends-to-lovers, part fake marriage romance, and I devoured it in a day. Down and Dirty by Kendall Ryan gets 4.5 smooches from me!

“Rich Boy takes you on a literal ride! Funny. Angsty. It’s a definite recommendation from me!
~Tijan, New York Times bestselling author

 

TheRichBoy EBOOK

I’m the type of girl who’s given up on fairy tales. So when Beck – the hot new busboy at work – starts flirting with me, I know better than to get my hopes up. Happily ever afters aren’t for the average. I learned that the hard way.

But how can I be expected to resist a man who can quote Austen, loves making me laugh, and seems to be everything hot and good in this world?

Only there’s so much more to him than that.

Billionaire playboy? Check.
Troubled soul? Check.
The owner of my heart, the man I’ve moved halfway across the country to be with, who’s laying the world at my feet in order to convince me to never leave? Check. Check. Check.

But nobody does complicated like the one percent.

This is not your everyday rags-to-riches, knight-in-shining armor whisking the poor girl off her feet kind of story. No, this is much messier.

Runaway Road by Devney Perry Release Blitz with Excerpt

RUNAWAY ROAD from USA Today Bestselling Author, Devney Perry, is available now! 

“Heartfelt, tender, with a side of finding yourself again. Devney Perry has me falling hard for this soul-warming new series and I can’t wait for more!”  ~Author Catherine Cowles

 

Londyn McCormack didn’t have a typical childhood. She ran away from home at sixteen, escaping parents more interested in drugs than their daughter. She doesn’t have loving siblings or an adorable pet. Her only family is the five other runaway kids who shared her junkyard home.

Life pulled them all in separate directions, taking her to Boston. For a short time, she thought she’d found something permanent. But after a devastating divorce, she’s running away again, this time to find a lost friend.

She’s driving across the country in her convertible. As a teenager, the rusty car was her shelter. As an adult, it’s her ride to freedom.

Except one flat tire derails her trip. Her life collides with Brooks Cohen. They walked away from the first crash. The second might destroy them both.

EXCERPT:

“When was the last time you had pie for dinner?”

“Can’t say I ever have.”

Her fork dove into the chocolate cream. She hummed and her eyes drifted closed when the bite passed her lips. She savored it, rolling it around in her mouth. The woman had a talented tongue—lucky pie. She moaned again, torturing me with the subtle sound.

She swallowed, then shot me a smile that was pure sex. “You’re missing out.”

I snapped my fingers, raising my hand in the air to flag down the waitress. When she came over, I pointed to Londyn’s plate. “I’ll have that.”

REVIEW:

I am so happily hungover from this fantastic, feel-good tale. Devney Perry left me utterly gob-smacked by Londyn and Brooks’ love story in the best possible way. This story, oh this wonderful love story, was exactly what I wanted to read exactly at a time when I needed to read it. Perry has said that this series was inspired by her favorite childhood series, The Boxcar Children. I remember reading those stories myself, and obviously with some adult themes and a romantic spin, I totally got those vibes and loved it.

It seems like Londyn McCormack has been running nearly her whole life, and this story starts with her about to embark on a cross-country trek to out-run the latest disappointment in a life that, at her young age, is already full of them. Fate and a flat tire leave her stranded in Summers, West Virginia, and there she gets her first real taste of a sweet, idyllic life unlike anything she has ever known.

Brooks Cohen is the epitome of a southern gentleman. Throw in the fact that he is tall, jaw-droppingly handsome and kind, and this man had me swooning on the side of the road right along with Londyn. He’s a good man to his core. His life has been nothing like Londyn’s, but he passes no judgment on her and accepts her for all that she is. As impressed by her mettle as he is taken with her beauty, Brooks truly admires Londyn’s wanderlust spirit.

I loved these this couple so, so much. Their effortless banter, the delicious slow-burn tension between them, the mutual respect they had for each other were the sparks of an electrifying, soul-deep connection, and I simply couldn’t get enough of their interactions, their attraction, the lust and the longing. I don’t want to say much more about this story, except that it’s a completely original, one-of-a-kind, gorgeously told story full of all the best feels. I think readers should to go into Runaway Road not knowing much more than what is revealed in the blurb so they can experience the rush of emotions and the unfolding of this story organically.

Heart-warming, with just enough angst and a bit of suspense, Runaway Road had me glued to my Kindle as I devoured it in a single sitting. Cover to cover, this captivating, endearing and romantic love story did a number on my heart at it raced, ached, yearned or burned the whole way through. Devney Perry has outdone herself with what was clearly a labor of love, and readers are in for a treat with this addictively well written, thoroughly engrossing romance.  Without question, this is a top favorite for the year, and I’m on the edge of my seat in anticipation of the next book in the series. Runaway Road gets five smooches from me!

The Wrong Right Man by Aurora Rose Reynolds Release Blitz with Giveaway

Title:  THE WRONG RIGHT MAN
Author:  AURORA ROSE REYNOLDS
Genre:  CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE
Release Date:  MARCH 3, 2020

 

Waking up to a text asking why you stood up your blind date is not the best way to start the day, especially when the man in question is standing half dressed in your kitchen.

Maybe Dakota Newton shouldn’t have assumed the gorgeous man with a devastating smile standing outside the coffee shop was her date. She probably— Okay, she definitely shouldn’t have slept with him, regardless of how hot the chemistry between them was. But how could she know Mr. Right was actually Mr. Wrong?

Braxton Adams has been called a few things in his life, but a liar was never one of them. That all changes when he’s approached by a beautiful woman who thinks he’s there to meet her for a date.

As a businessman, Brax knows to trust his gut and never let an opportunity pass him by, so he pretends to be someone he’s not.

Maybe he shouldn’t have lied. Maybe he should have come clean. But in the end, it doesn’t matter, because now he has to prove he’s not the wrong man but the right one.

So what if he’s not the man she’s expecting? She’s the one he’s been waiting for.

REVIEW:

 

I absolutely love Aurora Rose Reynolds’ writing style and storytelling. Determined, devoted and a bit bossy, her alpha males set their sights on the heroine, and in that moment, know down to their core that she’s the one for them and then do whatever it takes to win their hearts. Reynold’s describes that moment as the “boom,” and her ability to capture that insta-love moment and those feelings are one of the reasons why I love her stories.

I’ve been looking forward to The Wrong Right Man since I read the blurb last year. I’m a big fan of escapism reading, and Reynolds’ is a favorite of mine for those types of stories. While not exactly a traditional meet cute, I enjoyed Braxton and Dakota’s meeting, and I loved how firm and insistent Braxton was in his pursuit of Dakota. I loved how Dakota didn’t buckle to him, either, but instead gave him a run for his money.

The thing about Reynolds’ stories are is that they’re not realistic – they’re not intended to be, and that’s kind of the point of escapism reading. They’re over-the-top, they’re sometimes outrageous, and the fact that they wouldn’t happen this way in real life is part of what makes them so much fun. Add in the fact that they’re sweet and steamy, and it’s a recipe for a perfect story to get lost in, which is exactly what I did for an afternoon.

Aurora Rose Reynolds totally brought the boom in The Wrong Right Man with a low-angst, light-hearted, sweet and sexy romance. Braxton was a very determined hero who knew exactly what he wanted and pulled out every swoon-worthy move to get Dakota’s attention. I loved watching this couple fall in love, and I was completely swept up in their romance as I devoured this book in an afternoon. The Wrong Right Man by Aurora Rose Reynolds gets 4.5 smooches from me!

One Night Stand-In by Lauren Blakely Release Blitz

From #1 New York Times Bestselling author, Lauren Blakely, comes a wildly clever enemies-to-lovers romance that takes place over twenty four hours in New York City! ONE NIGHT STAND-IN is available now!

 

ONE NIGHT STAND-IN by Lauren Blakely
Release Date: March 2nd

 

Lucas Xavier is the last person I want to spend 24 hours with, let alone two minutes. Exes are exes for a reason. In his case, for a million reasons. Because he’s not only an ex-lover, he’s also an ex-friend. We didn’t just break up – we combusted in a spectacular bonfire of barbs and doors slammed.

Nothing will change that. Not his clever wit, not his ridiculous good looks, not his unfair levels of charm. And definitely not a wild dash through the city that takes us on an accidental scavenger hunt through our past, where we stop for a tango lesson, pancakes and a visit with some llamas.

And certainly not time together to make amends and say we’re sorry.

But, let’s say that was enough…it’s not like you can fall in love in 24 hours.

Indulge in the BOYFRIEND MATERIAL series! Three best friends. Three outrageous proposals. Three chances to fall in love. Three brand new standalones from Lauren Blakely! ONE NIGHT STAND-IN is a standalone romance in this series!

REVIEW:

There is so much I love about Lauren Blakely’s writing. Stellar storytelling, thorough character development, entertaining plots and romantic love stories that she threads together with keen attention to detail. For me, this always results in an unputdownable, wholly addictive reading experience. A rock-solid, never-let-me-down kind of author, Blakely is a top favorite of mine for many reasons, and it seems like I’m always in a perpetual state of waiting for her next book.

One Night Stand-In is the third standalone novel in her Boyfriend Material series, and it reunites former college friends and almost lovers in a second-chance romance that takes place largely over the course of 24 hours. Set in New York City, Blakely perfectly captures the vibe of this one-of-a-kind city, and her focus on those details really paid off in painting the backdrop for this love story.

The creative, interesting plot immediately pulled me in, and I enjoyed Lucas and Lola’s escapades as they raced around the city trying to solve a series of wacky riddles on behalf of their quirky younger siblings, Rowan and Luna.  Right from the start, Lucas and Lola had so much fire burning between them. At first, anger and hurt from the wounds of their shattered past were stoking those flames, but it quickly shifted to smoldering attraction.

Their snappy banter flowed easily and naturally as they worked through the clues together. Each one seemed to remind them of their own bittersweet history and forced them to re-examine the past through more mature eyes. With each riddle they solved, understanding of their own past mistakes dawned, forgiveness was granted, and in letting go of the anger and hurt they’d been holding on to, hope built. This is exactly why I love second-chances so much, and the rekindling of this relationship was the kind of heart-racing romance I want in a romantic comedy.

Full of fun, fire and feels, One Night Stand-In was a feel-good, low angst, super sexy romantic comedy. With a fresh, entertaining storyline and sweet, sexy, second-chance love story, One Night Stand-In was an absolute pleasure to read. This whole series has been fantastic, and without question, these titles are destined to become classics in her extensive catalog. While I absolutely loved the entire series, One Night Stand-In rises to the top as a new favorite from Lauren Blakely and a favorite for the year. Five smooches from me for One Night Stand-In by Lauren Blakely!
