A Little Bit Crazy by B. Cranford Release Blitz

 

Title: A Little Bit Crazy
Author: B. Cranford
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 2, 2017

 

Blurb
The biggest mistake Jade Miller ever made was agreeing to
a date with the World’s Biggest Jackass…

Stood up, fuming and, frankly, done with men, Jade’s not about to forgive or
forget.

Except, with the voices in her head giving her conflicting ideas, and the man
himself showing his smart, sexy, swoony side, she’s having a hard time staying
away.

The stupidest thing Declan Young ever did was forget to make that phone
call…

“Hey, I’m running a little late” could have saved him a year of
frustration—sexual and otherwise—at the hands of a certain pink-haired
spitfire.

All he wants is another chance, another night—the possibility of making it
right. Which he’s determined to get.

The craziest thing is they’re crazy about each other…

Jade would rather believe that they’re enemies.
Declan knows they’re something more.

And that makes them both feel a little bit crazy…

My Week With The Bad Boy by Brooke Cumberland and Lyra Parrish Release Blitz

Title: My Week with the Bad Boy

Series: My Week, #1

Authors: Brooke Cumberland & Lyra Parish

Cover Photographer: FuriousFotog

Cover Model: Joey Berry

Cover Designer: RBA Designs

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: November 2, 2017

 

Never trust a man who answers the front door wearing nothing more than a pair of low-cut jeans and a panty-melting smirk.

That should’ve been my first sign.

I write about guys just like him for a living—sexy and charming, yet reluctant to get into a serious relationship. His body screams sex appeal, but his condescending personality makes him a classic fuckboy.

And I want nothing to do with that.

Writing romance novels comes with its perks—traveling, meeting new people, creating characters from the voices in my head—but Ethan Rochester enters my life and rearranges all my preconceived notions about writing what inspires you.

One week is all it took. One week to realize that not everything is as it seems.

One week with the bad boy, and I wanted more.

Review

Vada is in desperate need of a vacation to help her get her next romance book written. When she arrives at the guesthouse, ready to get her writing on, she didn’t expect a hot, cocky and shirtless man with a smirk on his face to answer the door. Vada just knows that he is exactly like the bad boys she writes about and wants to steer clear but Ethan isn’t going to make that easy for her. Ethan may come across as having it all and he definitely is cocky but behind his smile and amazing body, is a sad past. Could it be that bad boy Ethan is exactly what Vada needs and could Vada be Ethan’s perfect match? 

“You’re seriously one of the biggest douchebags I’ve ever met.” “Oh, come on. That can’t be true. I’m sure you’ve met bigger ones.”

What a sexy, funny, and emotional read this one was. The chemistry, flirting and sexy aspect of the story I was certainly expecting, but the emotional side of it was a pleasant surprise. This took me through a great combination of emotions and was just overall a great romance read with two characters I felt were both equally funny and likeable. 

“Vada came barreling into my life, so unexpected and yet, it’s as if I’d been waiting for her all this time.”

Even though Vada could come across as a bit uptight and maybe a bit cynical I thought she was actually very real and she also gave as good as she got when it came to sparring up against Ethan which was very entertaining to read. I definitely wanted her to let loose a little and take a risk and as the story developed, I think we saw Vada come out of her romance author shell a little more. 

“As an adult, words became my escape as well, but in a different way. Though the world may be filled with loveless assholes and men who can’t give me a happy ending, at least in my books there’s always love and happily ever afters.”

The chemistry and flirtation between Ethan and Vada is off the charts. This is one steamy read and I couldn’t get enough when Ethan and Vada were together. Yes the romance is great and I loved watching them both slowly move on from their pasts and realising that maybe the two of them together was the perfect match. But I also really enjoyed the slightly unexpected emotional side of the story. Although Vada also hasn’t had an easy time of it, it was Ethan’s story which really broke my heart. His past and him trying to move on from it was so emotional to read and really added another depth to the plot. These two are not in for an easy ride of things at all, it is definitely an emotional rollercoaster read but it is a romance story I definitely recommend for those needing a steamy read as well as a little cry! Can’t wait for the next in the series!

Cover Design by Helen Williams with Photography by Paul Van Der Linde

 

A brand new sinfully sexy standalone romantic comedy from bestselling authors Lauren Blakely and Lili Valente!  

When you think about how easy it is to lose keys, phones, sunglasses and your dignity on social media, you might figure it’d be a cinch for me to ditch my V Card.

You’d be wrong.

At 25, I run a successful business, live in a fantastic apartment, and have fabulous friends to go out with any night of the week. And yet I’m still a card-carrying member of a club I don’t want to belong to anymore. Good thing I know just the man for the deflowering job-my brother’s business partner and best friend.

Graham Campbell is charming, smart, and, I’m told, oh-so-skilled in the sack. As long as I keep my eyes on the prize, there’s no way this pluck-the-flower project could possibly complicate matters.

***

Work and pleasure. As the CEO of a fast-growing company, I’ve been enjoying both to the fullest. What do I do when the board throws me for an unexpected loop so I can keep my business in my hands? I enlist the help of my best friend’s little sister since she holds a big stake in the company. But then I learn there’s another big stake she wants.

The one between my legs.

I can do this. Seven nights to teach her everything I know in the bedroom. There’s no way I’ll fall for her, even though she’s earning top grades in every single sinfully sexy lesson. And turns out I’m learning something too. The trouble is I don’t have the answer key to what to do when I fall hard for her.

And that throws a whole new hitch in my plans.

Darkest Temptation by Rachel Van Dyken Review

5 Smooches

Synopsis

I’m a werewolf King who chose to step down out of grief for my mate.
For centuries I’ve been alone, choosing to live a life of modesty despite the wealth surrounding me.
I deserve to be punished.
I crave things I have no business craving.
And it is manifesting itself in a way I’m terrified I won’t be able to control any longer.
Especially since she arrived.
Vampire. Orphan. Beaten beyond recognition.
My blood calls to her in a way that makes no sense.
I’m a wolf.
She’s a vampire.
The two don’t mate.
They barely tolerate one another.
All it takes is one slip of control on my part — one taste.
And I doom us all.
Then again, I never knew what is lurking inside has the power to balance good and evil

Complete Stand Alone HEA*

Review 

This series just gets better and better. I think it is funny that my two absolute favorite series by Rachel Van Dyken (This and The Eagle Elite series) both had first books that were not my favorites. Both books were good in their own right but still were not favorites of mine and yet here we are on book four and I cannot stop singing the praises for The Dark Ones Saga, not to mention the ton of books in the Eagle Elite series which I love with all my soul.

Mason and Serenity’s story is emotional and heartfelt. From the moment we met the broken hearted, pinecone eating werewolf in The Dark Ones I have been desperate to get the story of the wolf who lost his mate. I knew it would be hard since wolves don’t usually mate but one and for life but I had no idea the depth and heart that would fill these pages.

If you want a story that will touch your heart while making you smile (with the trademark Rachel Van Dyken wit) then grab this one. It doesn’t matter if you are reading it as a standalone or as part of the series you won’t regret reading it!

Can’t Let Go by Gena Showalter Review

 

 

 

5 Smooches!

Synopsis

 

With trust issues a mile long, Ryanne Wade has sworn off men.  Then Jude Laurent walks into her bar and all bets are off.  The former Army Ranger has suffered unimaginably, first being maimed in battle then losing his wife and daughters to a drunk driver. Making the brooding widower smile is priority one. Resisting him? Impossible.

To Jude, Ryanne is off limits. And yet the beautiful bartender who serves alcohol to potential motorists tempts him like no other. When a rival bar threatens her livelihood, and her life, he can’t turn away.  She triggers something in him he thought long buried, and he’s determined to protect her, whatever the cost.

As their already scorching attraction continues to heat, the damaged soldier knows he must let go of his past to hold on to his future…or risk losing the second chance he desperately needs.

 

REVIEW

I have been dying for this book.  Not literally!  But God, I wanted it.  Jude is just my type of hero.  He is broody, tortured, and wounded.  I just love these sorts of books and through reading the rest of the series, i knew I was going to love this book, but I just didn’t expect that it was going to pull at every darn heartstring in my chest.

Jude’s story was just so much more than I thought it was going to be.  I knew it was going to hurt but the scenes when he’s alone and he mourns all that he has lost really hurt me more than I thought they would.  How much he wants Ryanne but wouldn’t take her was just so sad.

When I was wasn’t all broken up about Jude, I was laughing at Ryanne.  She was a hoot and such a fun character to read like most of this authors heroines.  Showalter never lets me down in the heroine department.  But this heroine in particular I really adored in this series.

Also the sexy time in this book seemed just a bit hotter than the others which I definitely wasn’t mad about.

Laughter, tears, smoking hot sex, Can’t Let Go had a little something for every reader.  5 stars!

BLURB:
My name is Hunter O’Shea and I have a confession to make…I’ve met a girl who consumes me. I know that makes me sound completely whipped, but Mary “Lamb” Mitts has the power to bring me to my knees…it’s just too bad she hates my guts. But that’s okay, because I hate hers, too. The fiery redhead stirs something in me that I can’t explain.
This temporary insanity could be due to the fact my best friend, who used to be a bigger player than me, is getting married. That must be it. I’m caught up in an Oprah moment.
The only solution is to get back in the game and forget she exists. That theory is great—too bad I don’t want anyone else.
I…just…want…her.
I’m so screwed.

EXCERPT:
Something is happening and I have no idea what. Mary’s eyes drop to my lips before she uneasily licks hers. Her flushed cheeks, dilated pupils, and heavy breathing all point to one thing—but that’s not possible. This woman hates me, all delicious, lithe five-foot-four of her wants me dead.
So why is she not slapping my cheeks and calling me a dirty manwhore when I inch closer to her lips? And why am I not slamming on the brakes because I don’t kiss—ever, but that rule seems to be obsolete when the supplest pair of lips are a hairs breadth away?
I’m rolling in her perfume. Slathering it all over my body and inhaling it like a new drug. She is all goddess, and if I don’t touch her, I’m going to explode.
Placing my palm to her cheek, we both moan at the contact, and when she parts those lips, I’m as good as gone. “Hunter, wh-what are you doing?”
My name has never sounded sweeter. “Shortcake, I don’t know…you tell me.” The ball is in her court. I’m liquefying and my brain turned to mush about fifteen minutes ago, so I’m in no state to be the one calling the shots.
“I…I…” she fumbles, never breaking eye contact.
“You what?” I ask, tugging at the lobe of her ear, before tracing my pointer down her throat. Her pulse is hammering, a sure sign she’s about to either surrender, or flee.
“I…oh god,” she whimpers, biting her lip when I work my finger back up and paint over her jawline in a slow sweep.
“You have three seconds…three seconds to stop me before I part those lips with my tongue, and I won’t be gentle about it.”

SYNOPSIS:

I got the call. The dreaded call every child fears. My dad wasn’t well, and the man who had always been my everything needed me.

There was only one thing to do; pack up and head back to my hometown. I had finally made my dream life in the city with the great job and loving boyfriend. But was there really a choice not to go?

I found a wonderful job, a quaint house to rent, my boyfriend was working on joining me in Binghamton, and my favorite pizza place was only miles away. Life was good.

Until I met my neighbor.

It’s been three years since I’d seen Aaron Walters, and my God is he all kinds of sexy gorgeous. Figures. He was supposed to be my forever, the man I grew old with, but he had different plans. How can a man who ripped my heart apart still trip me up? How can he make me still want him now more than ever?

I’m tempted, I’m drawn toward him, I’m completely and utterly unaware that I’m dating his biological brother.

Now two men own my heart. The question is, which brother will I choose?

EXCERPT:

Right on time, I’m impressed.

She doesn’t get out of her car right away, so I give her a second but then realize maybe she’s not exiting the vehicle because I have the key to the house and she has nowhere to go.

Wanting to make a good impression and seem approachable since I’m the property manager, I run my hand through my hair and adjust my jeans. I’m not wearing any fancy shit, but at least I don’t have holes in or paint stains on my clothes. I hop off my front porch and make my way toward her car, slowly, not wanting to scare her.

There is muffling coming from her car, voices I can’t quite hear, but I get the idea she’s finishing up a conversation, so I slow my pace drastically. That’s when I see her tilt her head down and look at me. From the reflection of the light off her windows, I can’t make out her features. I can only see a silhouette.

I lift a friendly hand in her direction to let her know I come in peace and make my way to her driveway. There is no wave back, but I do hear the telltale sound of her opening her car door. She steps out and when I round the vehicle, I catch the sun off her driver’s side window, temporarily blinding me.

Blinking my eyes a few times to calm my retinas, I bring her into focus.

“Aaron . . .”

Every hair on my body sticks straight up and my body goes still from that voice, that unmistakably sultry voice.

When she finally comes into view, I am met with a pair of hazel eyes I haven’t been able to get out of my head since the day she left town for bigger and better things.

“Amelia.” I clear my throat and take a step forward. “Wow, I uh . . .” Tongue-tied, that’s exactly what I am right now. “Didn’t expect to see you get out of that car.” I laugh nervously while I pull on the back of my neck, trying to comprehend what’s going on. I point with my thumb toward the house and ask, “You’re the new tenant?”

She nods and looks me over, taking her time with her perusal, her eyes burning a hole right through my clothes like they used to. When her eyes meet mine again, she asks, “You’re the property manager?”

I nod and swallow hard. “And neighbor.”

She presses her lips together, thinning them out. “What are the chances?” She laughs nervously.

“Yeah, especially since I thought your life was in the city.” I didn’t mean for that to come out rude, but it did. Gentling my voice, I ask, “What brings you back home?”

Staring at the ground, clutching her purse to her side, she says, “My dad. He’s, uh, not doing well.” Duh, Mrs. Ferguson mentioned something like that. I’m so damn overwhelmed and shocked right now though, that entire conversation I had with Mrs. Ferguson is not registering in my mind.

“Oh no.” My brow pinches together in concern. “What happened?”

She waves me off. “Nothing you need to worry about.” And just like that she shuts me down. Honestly, I’m surprised she said that much to me after how we ended things between us.

Yes, there was an us, a perfectly beautiful, love-filled us. Amelia Santos was the best thing to ever happen to me, and yet, she was also the worst. During a time where my heart broke from every uncaring glance from my mom, Amelia resurrected me from the ashes I would have otherwise drowned in. She was my rock, the one solid feature in my life.

She was also my downfall.

She was going places, and I wasn’t. She had opportunity, and I had none. She wanted me to move with her, and I couldn’t, but no way in hell would I hold her back. I barely made it out of my mom’s house. There were many days when I tried hard to earn a buck so I could find a place to live other than the homeless shelter where I spent many lonely nights. Amelia deserved better than that, so I pushed her away to achieve her dreams. Little did I know, breaking up with her would send me in the biggest downward spiral of my life. The only reason I’m the man I am today is because after hitting rock bottom, I knew things needed to change, and it was up to me to make something of myself. So I worked my ass off. And now at thirty, I can say proudly that I’m a co-owner of an up-and-coming construction company as well as the proud owner of a house in the heart of Hillcrest, a beautiful two-story house. I’m doing well for myself . . . at least that’s what I thought until Amelia stepped out of her car.

Now I’m questioning every little thing about my life leading to this point.

Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations.

The One Night Stand by Elizabeth Hayley Cover Reveal

 

 

 

Gabriel Torres thought his life after Major League Baseball would be simple and quiet, or at least quieter. However, as he takes over running the exclusive Players Club, he finds himself continually embroiled in scandal and drama. Surely nothing, and no one could make his life any crazier…Right?

Rachel Adler is a blast from Gabe’s past who crashed back into his life with the finesse of a freight train. But she’s a welcome distraction. At least for a night.

Rachel has been working hard to become one of the top sports journalists in the country. She doesn’t have time for a long-term romance or irresistibly charming baseball players. A one-night-stand with the man who she knew would hit it out of the park was all she wanted.

But when she gets a tip that Gabe could have ties to one of the biggest sports stories in history, a story that could make her career, Rachel decides that maybe she has a little time for the sexy baseball player after all. As she gets in deeper with both her story and Gabe, Rachel begins to question who she is, what she wants, and what exactly she’s willing to sacrifice for her career.

Will the potential grand-slam romance be stopped short or will Rachel and Gabe be able to go the distance?

Elizabeth Hayley is actually “Elizabeth” and “Hayley,” two friends who love reading romance novels to obsessive levels. This mutual love prompted them to put their English degrees to good use by penning their own. The product is Pieces of Perfect, their debut novel. They learned a ton about one another through the process, like how they clearly share a brain and have a persistent need to text each other constantly (much to their husbands’ chagrin).

They live with their husbands and kids in a Philadelphia suburb. Thankfully, their children are still too young to read.

Elizabeth Hayley’s writing motto is best captured by the words of Patrick Dennis: “I always start with a clean piece of paper and a dirty mind.”

Go to Hail by Lani Lynn Vale Review

5 SMOOCHES!

   

SYNOPSIS:

Everybody has problems. But Travis? Yeah, he has so many problems that he finds it hard to breathe sometimes.

He spends five years catering to his ex-wife’s every want and need—all to make it possible to continue to see his child.

He isn’t supposed to fall in love with a woman, but he does.

He isn’t supposed to find someone that is willing to put up with his ex-wife’s crazy antics, but he has.

He isn’t supposed to be happy, but he is.

And all it takes is his ex-wife finding out about his new-found peace for things to change.

***

Hannah saw him and knew he was the one.

All it took was one look into that haunted man’s eyes, and she was lost, never to be found again.

She thinks she has it all. His love, a new baby made with that love, and a house to raise their blended family.

She’s wrong, and Travis’ ex-wife is out to prove it.

***

Travis doesn’t deserve Hannah. All he’s done is hurt her.

She’s done everything in her power to keep everyone happy, but the more she tries, the harder his ex-wife pushes. Until one day, there’s nothing left to push.

Hannah leaves, and Allegra wins.

But Travis isn’t willing to let her have her way any longer.

He fights back, and only gets a bullet to the chest to show for it.

REVIEW:

I’m a huge fan of Lani Lynn Vale’s writing, and I’ve read all of her books. The Hail Raisers series is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Lani has gone back to her roots in Hail Raisers and has given her readers a more suspenseful, less MC centric series. As a long-time reader, I couldn’t be more thrilled.

Go to Hail kicks off with a hero that, frankly, at first glance it’s kind of hard to sympathize with. The more I dug into his story, the clearer the picture became, and it wasn’t quite as simple as just standing up to his awful ex-wife. He was stuck in the kind of situation that any divorced couple would describe as their worse-case scenario with their former spouse. Caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place, Travis was trying to keep everyone happy but failing miserably because, in reality, no one was. I have to hand it to Hannah, though. She was a saint, and I loved her. She was strong, she was patient and caring, and when any other woman would have given up—rightfully so—she hung in there with him and held their family together the best she could have given the circumstances they were in.

I loved this couple. They had so much stacked against them, and when it would have been easier on everyone to just throw in the towel, they didn’t. When one was weak, the other was strong, and even though through the times when they weren’t together in the truest sense of the word, they were still hanging on, still a family, still loving each other. It’s a delicate balance for a romance author to portray a hero with so many flaws without making him appear to be weak – especially when said hero is actually quite the alpha male. Vale did just that with Travis, and in doing so, she was able to play up the strength of the heroine, and honestly, it was a refreshing change of pace.

Lani Lynn Vale has taken lots of risks with her writing in the past two years, and each time she steps out of that comfort zone, I’m truly impressed. Go to Hail is another example of Lani at her best – giving her readers a hot and hilarious love story with a lot of heart. Five smooches from me!
