The Learning Hours by Sara Ney Release Blitz

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 a pulse. He will reciprakate with oral. 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.

What Are The Odds by Kim Hatch Review

51xhuO352rL

3.5 Smooches

a4 a5 a3 a6

Synopsis

Life doesn’t always turn out the way you planned, especially when you’re Sutton Payne.

A long way from the bright lights of Las Vegas, the tiny town of Broken Bow, Nebraska, might as well be on a different planet as far as she’s concerned. But that doesn’t stop Sutton from taking a chance on a better life there.
Everything in Broken Bow seems perfect–except for Gwen’s grandson, Austin. The town veterinarian might be easy on the eyes and a huge help to his grandmother, but Sutton can’t see past his cold demeanor.
Until Gwen needs them both.
Forced to spend time together for the sake of Gwen, Austin rolls the dice and opens his heart to Sutton. But when you’re Sutton Payne, what happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas. As her past catches up with her, and her new life comes crashing down around her, Sutton wonders if Austin will still bet on her, or if the odds were never in her favor to begin with.

Review

Sutton is scared, alone, and once again trying to run from her past and find a place where she can finally feel safe and attempt to start a new life for herself. When her car breaks down she finds herself in the tiny town of Broken Bow and after the kindness an elderly woman called Gwen shows her, she decides to give her new life a try here. When Gwen’s grandson shows up, the very easy on the eyes town veterinarian, Austin, Sutton thinks his cold attitude means he doesn’t like her. But when they both come together for Gwen, both Austin and Sutton realise there is attraction and a connection between them. Will Sutton stay around long enough for their relationship to blossom or will her past catch up to her leaving her to run again? 

“When you find people that love you for all your light and darkness, let them.”

So part of me loved this story. It was a very sweet and romantic short read that was quite simply about two people falling in love. However, there is also a part of me that needed something else to happen to make it a bit more exciting as even the reveal of Sutton’s past fell a bit flat. But if what you are looking for is a short, purely romantic read, then I would recommend this book. 

“You made me see, that with the right person, life is so much better. For me, that person was you, and I hope that one day you find someone who is meant for you. You deserve that and so much more.”

Sutton and Austin were both very easy character to like. Sutton was definitely having a hard time at life but her love and the kindness she showed to people shone through and proved that despite having a rough time she wasn’t going to let it stop her being a good person. Austin was the man you would want to bring home to your parents. He looks after his nan, loves animals and gave off a old time gentlemen vibe with added sexiness. The way he was with Sutton and how open he was when saying how much he liked her, definitely made me swoon and made me want an Austin of my own! 

“Maybe I like messy. Maybe I want to be dragged into whatever you think is so dark. Maybe I can help. Just maybe, it won’t be so dark if you aren’t facing it alone.”

As I said this was a nice romance story and the characters were definitely likeable. Including all the back characters such as Gwen and Austin’s friends. The plot was following these two through their meeting and into their relationship ship and seeing if they would work out despite Sutton running from her past. We get an idea of what she is running from in the beginning and then the big reveal comes, which honestly for me, wasn’t too much of a reveal, and my heart definitely breaks for her but in the end it is all resolved pretty quickly. So this story had plenty of romance and characters I enjoyed reading about but it was missing a bit of drama or suspense for me, especially with the romance side happening quite quickly with not many speed bumps. Overall though I would recommend this for anyone looking for a quick romantic read.

Review

Rebecca Brooke has once again given me a book I was unable to walk away from. I read an early copy of this story and could not believe this was her first jump into the rocker lifestyle.  Rock Me is a second chance romance that was never supposed to happen. Mari reunites with Cole years after her ugly duckling, being bullied days of high school. Only now that she has reinvented herself he doesn’t recognize her. He becomes enamored and she is torn for falling for who Cole is now and the boy who hurt her all those years ago.

Second Chance romances are always the ones that give me the most feels. The thought of all those years lost hurts but the idea that nothing is ever lost forever is exciting. I love Rebecca’s story telling and this was another hot for me. I fell for these two and loved their struggle. Rock Me is an exciting, fun, sexy, and heart-warming story wrapped up in the rock and roll lifestyle!

On A Tuesday by Whitney G. Release Blitz with Giveaway

On a Tuesday

by Whitney G.
Publication Date: September 19, 2017
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Second Chance Romance, Standalone
Cover Design: Najla Qamber Designs
Model Credit: Andrea Denver

Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Kobo | iBooks

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… 

**This is a full length second chance romance, inspired by Adele’s “When We Were Young”**

Dear Bridget, I Want You by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland Review Tour

 

 

AVAILABLE NOW

Amazon | iBooks |  B&N |  Kobo  | Google Play  |  Amazon paperback

 

Dear Bridget,

I’m writing this letter because it’s highly doubtful I’ll ever garner the courage to say this to your face.

So, here goes.

We’re totally wrong for each other. You’re the proper single mum with a good head on your shoulders. I’m just the carefree British doctor passing through town and temporarily living in your converted garage until I head back to England.

But here’s the thing… for some bloody reason, I can’t stop thinking about you in very inappropriate ways.

I want you.

The only reason I’m even admitting all of this to you right now is because I don’t believe it’s one-sided. I notice your eyes when you look at me, too. And as crass as I appear when we’re joking around about sex, my attraction to you is not a joke.

So, what’s the purpose of this note? I guess it’s a reminder that we’re adults, that sex is healthy and natural, and that you can find me just through the door past the kitchen. More specifically, it’s to let you know that I’m leaving said door cracked open from now on in case you’d like to visit me in the middle of the night sometime.

No questions asked.

Think about it.

Or don’t.

Whatever you choose.

It’s doubtful I’ll even end up sliding this letter under your door anyway.

–Simon

Review

Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland always deliver a completely unique story and this was no different. Dear Bridget, I Want You was so enjoyable. This was an easy read that was not overly heavy in the drama department but still managed to sneak in some twists I feel like I should have seen coming but never did. At this point in reading these two I should be guessing the extreme for their twists and yet I am always still completely surprised and taken aback by the twists they deliver.

Let’s take a minute to appreciate the Hot British Doctor that Simon is. OH MY GOD. He was so sexy and would love to listen to an audio of this just to hear his voice. He pushed single mom, Bridget, to come out of her shell and open up to being more than just a mom, widow, and nurse. To being a woman again. The sexual tension was off the charts.

Overall, the story was so good but would have loved if the angst was even higher, but that is probably just me being an angst lover. The story was sexy and fun and a great lazy day read.

Lucas by Sawyer Bennett Release Blitz

Lucas (Cold Fury, Book #8)
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: September 19, 2017

Synopsis:
The Carolina Cold Fury hockey team is stacked with hotshots. But when a new player joins their ranks, he learns that even superstars can’t go it alone when it comes to love.

Lucas Fournier is only serious about one thing: hockey. The league’s fun-loving charmer, Luc is always up for a good prank or a great lay, and he has no intention of settling down. But being traded to the Carolina Cold Fury—and to play alongside his big brother, Max—is no joke. With another title in sight, the last thing Luc wants is to let his new teammates down. To succeed, Luc will need to keep his head in the game and the most . . . er, demanding member of his anatomy in check. But when temptation hits, Luc hits back harder.

Museum curator Stephanie Frazier has always put business before pleasure, which just about explains her nonexistent sex life. But when Stephanie meets Luc at a champagne-fueled gala, she finds herself flirting like crazy—and going home with the uninhibited athlete. For one night, she learns what passion is all about. She just never counted on the little surprise Luc leaves behind. And that’s when things really start to get . . . interesting.

Sawyer Bennett’s New York Times bestselling Carolina Cold Fury series can be read together or separately.

Review

Who doesn’t love a hot hockey player . . . or a whole team of them. I was initially intrigued by this series because it is based in Raleigh, NC, my hometown. But with each new release it is the characters, their love for the sport and their love for their women that keep me coming back.

Like a lot of stories in this romance series, while it’s clear from the start the attraction is there for Lucas and Stephanie it takes some trials and tribulations for these two to fully admit what they mean to each other. We are eight books into this series and the beauty is that none of these books feel formulaic. They are each their own unique and exciting story and each differs greatly from the one before. Yet, as a whole they read as a cohesive series. I love how close this team is and even more so how some friendships among the players are closer than others. It feels true to the nature of a sports team and I love it.

Lucas was a great read on a Saturday afternoon and I am so excited for Van’s story next!
