Synopsis

Rex Gunner. As bitter as he is beautiful.

The owner of the largest construction company in Gingham Lakes has been burned one too many times. His wife leaving him to raise their daughter was the last blow this single dad could take. The only woman he’ll let into his heart is his little girl.

Rynna Dayne. As vulnerable as she is tempting.

She ran from Gingham Lakes when she was seventeen. She swore to herself she would never return. Then her grandmother passed away and left her the deed to the diner that she once loved.

When Rex meets his new neighbor, he knows he’s in trouble.

She’s gorgeous and sweet and everything he can’t trust.

Until she becomes the one thing he can’t resist.

One kiss sends them tumbling toward ecstasy.

But in a town this size, pasts are bound to collide. Caught in a web of lies, betrayal, and disloyalty, Rex must make a choice.

Will he hide behind his walls or will he take the chance . . .

Review

I love A.L. Jackson’s writing, it’s just perfection. This is the first book in her new Fight For Me series and I have to say if the characters we have been introduced to in this book then I am so excited for the subsequent books.

Let’s talk about Rex Gunner for a minute. Can I just tell you how much I love a single dad book. HECK YEAH! I was already on board just knowing that and then I find out how mean he is to Rynna. I am a sucker for a book boyfriend who goes from mean to amazing. I love the transformation and Rex fits that bill perfectly. It would be easy to be mad at his standoffness if we didn’t get these perfect moments of him being the absolute perfect single dad. He was fun, playful, thoughtful and so sweet and kind to his daughter. I loved for those moments and in them I was able to see his true nature.

Now Rynna, her demons in this small town have haunted her for the years since she left but she finally has the strength to face her fears. After moving back home to take over her grandmothers diner she is instantly drawn to the hot yet grumpy man across the street. I love Rynna’s persistence in pursing a friendship with Rex. Her sweet nature balanced his grumpiness back at her.

Show Me The Way has everything you need in a good book, a hot alpha man, strong heroine, lovable kid, a twist, extreme heat, and a whole cast of characters you just want to know more about. I really enjoyed this new series from A.L. Jackson and look forward to seeing what is next.

I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with the nanny.

When my wife left, she took the illusion of happiness with her, and I’ve been caught in a free fall ever since. For nine long months, I’ve been fighting to figure out how to be a single dad, how to be alone.

For nine long months, I’ve been failing.

When Hannah walked through the door, I took my first breath since I’d found myself on my own. She slipped into our lives effortlessly, showing me what I’ve been missing all these years. Because Hannah made me smile when I thought I’d packed the notion of happiness away with my wedding album.

She was only supposed to be the nanny, but she’s so much more.

The day my wife left should have been the worst day of my life, but it wasn’t. It was when Hannah walked away, taking my heart with her.

She’s also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She’s been a wife, though she’s certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She’s also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she’s been drinking whiskey.

From roots in Houston to a seven year stint in Southern California, Staci and her family ended up settling somewhere in between and equally north, in Denver. They are new enough that snow is still magical. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.

SYNOPSIS

You’ve heard this story before. Woman feels her biological clock ticking and gets someone to knock her up.

Not for love, for baby.

Crazy, right?

That’s what I thought.

Then I found out my fiancé had a vasectomy. The life I thought I had? Nope. Suddenly I’m 33, and I don’t even have a kissing buddy.

When my mom’s health takes a turn and I wind up back in my hometown of Fate, Alabama, I tell myself to leave things up to…well, you know.

Then I see Gabriel McKellan. He’s Fate’s most famous son, a bestselling author who is beautiful, complicated, and living just below me. In addition to his plus-sized brain, Gabe’s well-endowed in other ways, and great in bed to boot. I would know. He’s my ex husband.

When I suggest The Plan, I don’t imagine that he’ll take the bait. It’s been ten years, and we don’t work. But Fate has other plans for both of us.

Racer by Katy Evans Blog Tour with Excerpt

SBPRBanner-Racer-BT

Racer by Katy Evans
Publication Date: September 28th, 2017
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Racer, an all-new standalone in the Real Series from New York Times bestselling author Katy Evans is LIVE!

Racer Amazon.jpg

A bad boy with something to prove.

A woman with a mission.

The race of their lives.

The love of a lifetime.

I don’t think his parents expected him to live up to his name—Racer Tate—but once he felt the adrenaline rush behind the wheel, he was addicted.

He’s the fastest, fiercest driver around.

Scouting new talent brings me to his doorstep…

but his smile sends me to my knees.

The sexy, mysterious Racer Tate is not the kind of man a girl like me falls for. He’s secretive, reckless, elusive. But his proximity pushes me beyond reason, and his kiss….

This is our last chance to win, and he is our only hope. I’m supposed to watch him—make sure he doesn’t get into trouble. But it’s an impossible task. And now the one in heart wrenching, toe-curling, soul-crushing trouble is me. Because when your heart belongs to someone, their truths become your own, and their secrets become your salvation…or your curse.

He says he wants me. He says I’m the One. But he also thinks he’ll break my heart, one piece at a time until it’s gone.

Check out our 4.5 smooches review HERE.

Excerpt:

I’m still reeling. While people approach him, he cuts a path straight to me, his gaze penetrating and target-like; making me want to bolt.

His lips do that little upward tilt they do that seems so sexy, and for a second, I feel like I’m lightheaded.

I gulp, and then feel mad at myself for acting like some idiot as fucking devil-Racer Tate reaches me, throws himself into a seat next to me, and turns to look at me expectantly with the most gorgeous grin on his face.

I don’t know what to say.

This guy has left me sort of speechless.

“So … ” I say, staring in the distance at his beat-up mustang, then at him.

“So … ” he says too, in his deep voice, his smile a little more wicked than it was two seconds ago. He glances at my mouth.

Oh god.

Why am I licking my lips?

It only made his eyes narrow and darken.

        I open my mouth to speak, failing to find words. He smells like sweat and soap and shampoo, and I feel my traitorous nipples push up to my top again. Why do they do that when he’s around?

“This is illegal,” I state.

His voice is husky from exertion, and his eyes glint with laughter. “That’s why it’s fun.”

I look away from his eyes, trying to focus and clear my head. He leans over and peers into my face, his face shadowed by the moonlight and his jaw now carrying a little scruff. “Are we in agreement?” he presses.

“No.” I glare and shake my head, meeting his cocky gaze. “You’re reckless, Racer.”

“So are you, Alana.”

“It’s just … Lana.”

His brows fly up in surprise. “And a bit of a liar too.”

I purse my lips, still glaring as my gaze goes back to his car. Girls are rubbing against it as if it were him, and I find it disgusting. Why are women always acting so slutty around race car drivers and bad boys?

“You crashed your car,” I say flippantly.

“You crashed my car,” he contradicts, amused.

I laugh, then scowl in his direction. “You crashed it more. I can’t believe you were making such a fuss about me crashing into you when it was just a little kiss—”

He leans in to peck my lips—fast but firmly. “That’s a kiss.”

I lose my breath.

My eyes wide.

He eases back, lips smiling as he comes to his feet and stretches his hand out to take me by the elbow and help me to my feet.

“Let’s get out of here.” He starts walking, leading the way.

“And go where?”

“Anywhere I can get my hands on you.”

Review

If you are a fan of Real, or any of the subsequent books in the series, than this is a book you have been eager for. That is me. I love this series and have since I first discovered Remy ad Brooke back in 2013. Racer can definitely be read as a standalone but for us long time fans and new readers who have devoured all of Katy’s words you will get glimpses of the lives of many of your favorite characters.

‘This is the girl. The one I’m going to marry. The one whose life I’m going to completely ruin.’

I am personally torn between saying you saying if this would be more enjoyable as part of the Real series or as a standalone. On one hand if you read it with the series I feel like you will have a better understanding of the struggles Racer is facing, after all these are similar in struggle to what his dad faced in his three books. But, that is also why I say reading it as a standalone might be even better. For me this was a very similar story to Real if you changed out fighters for racers. Personally, being as it has been a few years since my last re-read of Real, I didn’t mind. But had I read t more recently I’m not sure I would have felt the same. I will say that while parts of the plot felt similar to me the actual characters felt very new. Racer and Remy are definitely not the same. Each has their own ticks and react very differently. I found Racer to be a kind and sweet version while still reading like the alpha man I expected him to be,

‘I’m trapped – helplessly and totally – in Race Tate’s irresistible fire.’

I was so reminiscent the whole way through this book. I missed this family of characters. Katy always has a way to transport me to a world so different than the one I am in and I love it. I got lost in this book and when it was over all I wanted was more. For me, I am so happy she gave us Racer’s story, now I just want to go back and read the whole series all over again.

The Learning Hours by Sara Ney Review

20615342_292251217850101_11542968_o

5 Smooches

a5 a1 a2 a3 a4

Synopsis

He’s not a douchebag;

but that doesn’t stop his friends from

turning him into one.

MY FRIENDS WANT ME TO GET LAID.

So much so that they plastered my ugly mug all over campus, in bold printed letters:

Are you the lucky lady who’s going to break our roommate’s cherry?

Him: socially awkward man with average-sized penis looking for willing sexual partner. You: must have pulse. Text him at: 555-254-5551

The morons can’t even spell. And the texts I’ve been receiving are what wet dreams are made of. But I’m not like these douchebags, no matter how hard they try to turn me into one.

THIS ISN’T THE KIND OF ATTENTION I WANT.

One text stands out from hundreds. One number I can’t bring myself to block. She seems different. Hotter, even in black and white.

However, after seeing her in person, I know she’s not the girl for me. But my friends won’t let up—they just don’t get it. Douchebags or not, there’s one thing they’ll never understand: GIRLS DON’T WANT ME.

Especially her.

Review

GAH! I just love when Sara Ney gives me NA goodness and this was the bees knees. I LOVED it.

Okay, let’s get real here and I gotta tell you that I can’t talk much about the plot or character because . . . well . . . spoilers!!! SO where does that leave me. Well, lets start with the writing. Sara Ney excels at righting New Adult romance. I discovered her a while back and have been reading her since before her career really took off and with every book she releases she only seems to get better and better. Now, let’s talk feelings. I went through the whole spectrum while reading. I honestly had so many things I was supposed to be doing but somehow could not make myself put this book down. It was just gold and I loved every second of it.

If you are looking for a truly  amazing book that will make you swoon, ache, and smile. It was perfection and I urge you to go grab this one now and start it immediately.

Running Into Love by Aurora Rose Reynolds Review

a5 a4 a3 a2

Synopsis

Fawn Reed has kissed one too many toads and has finally decided that Prince Charming doesn’t exist. After countless mishaps, mistakes, and unmitigated disasters on the dating scene, she’s decided to give up and move on with her life…solo.

Everything changes, however, after Fawn runs into Levi Fremont, a homicide detective new to New York City.

Dedication to the job has rendered Levi’s love life nonexistent—until he moves in next door to the free-spirited Fawn. After a series of comedic run-ins push them together, will they finally give in to the inevitable and realize—maybe—they are perfect for each other?

Review

Who doesn’t love an Aurora alpha. I know I do. This was a nice change of pace, instead of being a small town romance, Running Into Love, takes place in NYC.

Running Into Love is a sweet and fun easy read. This would be perfect for reading on the beach or curling up in a chair on a rainy day. Low on angst but full of the Aurora alpha-ness we have all grown to love along with her unique since of humor. I personally love the way Aurora weaves her wit into her stories. I enjoy each one immensely and this was no different.

Running Into Love was probably one of Aurora’s best written/edited books but I would have loved for the drama in the story to be just a bit more. Still I read it straight through in a day and had a smile on my face the whole time.

On A Tuesday by Whitney G. Review

11

4 Smooches

a5 a1 a2 a3

Synopsis

We met on a Tuesday.
Became best friends, then lovers, on a Tuesday.
And everything fell apart on a Tuesday…

Charlotte Taylor has three automatic strikes in my book: 1) She hates me. She also claims that I’m a “domineering jerk with a huge, overbearing ego.” (I do have something huge. It’s not my ego, though.) 2) She takes our mandatory tutoring sessions way too seriously. 3) She’s sexy as hell…And a virgin.

At least, those were her strikes before our study sessions started lasting longer than they were supposed to. Until one innocent kiss became a hundred dirty ones, and until she became the first woman I ever fell hard for.

Our future together after graduation was supposed to be set:
Professional football for me. Law school for her.

But she left me at the end of the semester with no explanation, and then she completely disappeared from my life.

Until tonight.

We met on a Tuesday.
Became everything, then nothing, on a Tuesday.
And now it’s seven years later, on a Tuesday…

Review

On A Tuesday is a second chance romance that pulled at my heartstrings and made me smile.

Grayson and Charlotte met and fell in love when she was his tutor. They fell hard and fast but fast forward seven years and they don’t talk, they aren’t friend, and both holds a lot of resentment towards the other. Something went down and needing to know what happened drove me to keep turning pages. I needed to know. NEEDED. On A Tuesday mixed two of my favorite genres, NA and pro-football, in a book that spanned years and had me feeling a range of emotions.

Overall, this was a sweet New Adult romance. I am a huge fan of Whitney’s writing style and this was no different. She mixed sex, fun, a great story, and a unique idea all together and I know you all will enjoy this as much as I did.

Hail No by Lani Lynn Vail Release Blitz with Excerpt

Title: Hail No

Series: Hail Raisers #1
Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release: September 27, 2017


Check out our 5 smooches review HERE.

 

Evander Lennox doesn’t do anything he doesn’t want to do. At least, that is, until he’s sent to prison. The four years he’s incarcerated, he’s had no choice but to do the things that he’s asked to do, when he’s asked to do them. And now, if he doesn’t, it will mean a one-way ticket straight back to hell.


Once he’s free, it takes him twenty-four hours to get his old job back, his dog at home where he belongs, and an understanding that people aren’t as forgiving as he once thought them to be. He’s just about given up hope of ever integrating back into society when a woman slams into his heart, literally and figuratively. 

***

Kennedy Swallow just wants to belong somewhere.

When she was younger, her parents divorced, and chose to separate her from her twin. Fast forward fifteen years, and she’s finally getting to meet the family she’s always wanted to be a part of. To make that happen, she uproots her life and moves to the tiny town of Hostel, Texas—giving her almost everything she’s ever wanted.

Just when she thinks she’s making progress in winning her family over, she finds out that her twin is ill, and the only reason her family tolerates her is due to the convenience of having a free caretaker whenever they might be in need of one.

After a few eye-opening experiences, she quickly realizes that she’s being used. Vowing to herself that she’ll make the best of the situation, she begins to steel her heart. What she doesn’t prepare for is a man named Evander who sees that barrier as a challenge.

***

It takes Evander all of ten seconds while watching the woman on the floor, bleeding from her jaw, to realize that maybe life isn’t as bad as it could be.

This woman with her thrill for life, a crazy obsession with chickens, and a desire to be wanted, changes everything he thinks he knows.

But it doesn’t take long for him to realize that just by being around her, the people of the town have judged her guilty by association.

Her business suffers, and soon after, she realizes what it will mean to have him by her side—the loss of everything she’s worked so hard for.

Kennedy knows that Evander is worth it. Evander, however, decides that he’s not letting another person get hurt because he was stupid enough to care.
