The Iron Tiara by Beth Flynn Release Blitz
BLURB
Anthony Bear and Christy Chapman are from two completely different worlds.Anthony’s the leader of a motorcycle gang that terrorizes Florida’s West Coast. As a child, he ran away from his family and the Cherokee Indian Reservation to enter a life of crime. As an adult, he leads a multifaceted life managing his two businesses—his legitimate landscaping venture, and his loan shark and underworld dealings. Driven by anger and betrayal, Anthony begins the hunt for Christy’s father, Van Chapman, after he runs out on a loan.
Christy’s privileged life is not as it seems. She has kept painful family secrets and hidden some of her own. She’s determined to find out the truth and expose Van, but her search delivers her right into Anthony Bear’s hands, adding kidnapping to his list of crimes.
Their worlds are as contrasting as the color of their skin. The only thing they seem to have in common is their mutual disdain for Van Chapman…and each other.
They couldn’t be more wrong.

Souls Unchained by C.C. Wood Release Blitz with Exclusive Interview
Rhys Carey spent centuries evading the clutches of his twisted brother, unable to trust anyone. He longs for a home and for the love that he could not have while his brother lived. Now that his twin is dead, he’s bound with a different set of chains, those of isolation and self-loathing, and they are impossible to escape.
Savannah Baker is unbearably lonely. Her abilities as an empath have trapped her in a small life, with only a single friend to call her own. She dreams of so much more but holds no hope that she will attain her deepest desires.
When Rhys moves in across the street, the attraction between them blossoms into something more — a love neither of them believed they could have.
Yet unbeknownst to Rhys, darkness stalks him, waiting for the opportunity to strike. The evil that shadows his every move will use whatever means necessary to ensnare Rhys, even kill the woman he can no longer live without.
Now that these two lost souls have finally found each other, they are in a battle for survival. And for love.
*Though this is the second book in the Blood & Bone series, it can be read as a standalone. Rhys was a secondary character in the Bitten series, so if you enjoy this book and you have not read that series, you should check it out!

Quick Quirky Questions with CC Wood
-
If you could be any paranormal creature (fairy, ghost, vampire, werewolf, etc) what would you be?
Answer: Ohhh, that’s a good question. I think I’d be a vampire. Blood doesn’t bother me and biting sounds kind of sexy. 😉
-
Name 2 things you like about yourself and 1 thing you could work on?
Answer: Things I like about myself? Hmmm. I’ve never really thought about it before, but I do like that I try not to take myself too seriously. I can laugh at myself, especially if I’m letting my neuroses get the best of me. I also like my creativity. I feel like I see things differently than everyone else sometimes.
In terms of things I could work on, I need to stop procrastinating. I put things off because sometimes I get overwhelmed with large projects and I have no clue where to start. Then I’m frantically trying to finish things by deadlines. I don’t do it ALL the time, just once or twice a year, but I shouldn’t procrastinate at all. It’s not good for my mental health.
-
What food would you outlaw if you could?
Answer: Pickled eggs. I’ve never actually eaten them, but only because the smell makes me want to yack, so I’m pretty sure the taste would gross me out too.
-
If you could be any Disney villain who would you be?
Answer: Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty.
-
What are 2 items on your bucket list?
Answer: Hmmm. I haven’t looked at my bucket list in a while, but making USA Today or NYT Bestseller list is on it. And so is spending a couple months in a little cottage in Scotland or a house in Tuscany while I write a book.

Review
I just love when C.C. Wood writes a paranormal romance. She mixes humor, heat, interesting plots with a romance that makes you swoon.
Let’s talk Savannah before we get to the star of the show, Rhys. As an empath she has to live a lonely, isolated life. For a recluse she desperately desired to be a part of the real world and find her one love. But, her ability means she is constantly overwhelmed with the feelings of those around her. I found her to be sweet and sassy. I loved when she got flushed or embarrassed around her hot new neighbor. Speaking of Rhys, boy did I LOVE him.
I’m a big fan of a damaged man and Rhys is as damaged as they come. His past has made him feel incapable of being loved but nothing could be father from the truth. He was patient, hot, alpha and all around amazing. The whole cast of characters in this book were the driving force for my love of it and if the next book in the series is about who I hope it is then I definitely cannot wait!
I honestly think there is something about how C.C. Wood writes paranormal that is appealing to both para readers and those who tend to avoid it. She was one of the first paranormal authors I read and her style reads like contemporary but with the fun of paranormal. Nothing is too complicated you can’t easily follow along and yet the plots are always surprising and exciting. There has not been one I haven’t enjoyed and Souls Unchained is yet another hit for me.

Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband, daughter, and fur babies. When she’s not diving into the world of her characters, some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks on the beach … which roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing out movie quotes. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies and fried pickles, and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm … or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren’t really happening.

Hard Love by Joanne Schwehm Release Blitz
Title: Hard Love
Author: Joanne Schwehm
Genre: Contemporary Romance Standalone
Release Date: July 18, 2017
Noah Winston’s life was perfect. He had it all: striking looks, more money than he could ever spend, good friends, and any woman he wanted. Margo Perry’s life wasn’t perfect, but it was her own. She didn’t need a man to make her happy or feel better about herself.
Then he saw her – a gorgeous, rain-soaked stranger – but she wasn’t a stranger at all. They’d known each other a lifetime ago, when she was just a girl. Now, she was all woman.
Then it happened. The man she had spent her teenage years lusting over rescued her on a bleak yet fateful day. There he was, straight out of her dreams, looking better now than he had years ago.
The more time he spent with her, the more he questioned everything he knew.
The more time she spent with him, the more those old feelings resurfaced and grew stronger.
Too bad it only took one night, a few words, and a terrible decision, to ruin it all.
Too bad it was too good to be true.

REVIEW
Ever since Lily’s last brother was murdered and she was nearly kidnapped from the rival mob family, her life has been a prison. No one can know the mob princess lives so they keep her trapped inside and the worse part is, her main captive is the man she once loved, Kieran. Kieran and Lily were meant to run away from it all but the fear of someone hurting Lily has made Kieran the infamous killer and near right hand man for Lily’s father who she detests. Lily has a secret though, every Monday she manages to escape to meet s friend for lunch, but this is also where she meets a man she has never spoken to but feels an undeniable bond with. Little does she know that the man she sees, is none other than Dare, the new leader of the rival mob and both of their lives are about to be thrown into one hell of a dangerous rollercoaster ride that one or both of them might not survive.
“Because he loved me, and my heart ached for the love we’d had, but he was a warrior through and through. And ever since that night Aric died, those instincts had slowly enveloped Kieran’s love for me, until they were all he knew. Save Lily. Protect Lily. Hide Lily. Cage Lily.”
I LOVED the story of Lily and Dare! It was intoxicating, captivating, intense, beautiful and heartbreaking. Not only did I love Lily and Dare, I also loved Kieran (even if I wasn’t meant to) and my heart broke for him. All of their stories were so heartbreakingly beautiful and I literally devoured this book in one sitting.
“That girl. Something about those eyes promised every truth wrapped in the sweetest deceit. Flames ignited in my veins every time I was near her, my blood roaring with the need to uncover every one of those hidden truths.”
Lily was a trapped, lonely and heartbroken young woman. I really felt for her and my heart broke when her love for Kieran started to disappear because he couldn’t stop his obsession with keeping her safe. Lily just wanted to run away from her family and the house that had now been her prison and despite my love for Kieran, I wanted Lily to escape because you could feel how much she was suffocating. Dare was the knight in shining armour in this story. Despite being head of his family, you knew he hates his position and I admired his bravery for wanting to end the illegal side of it all. The way he wanted to protect and care for Lily, even going against long time friends to do so, made me fall in love with him and made me want Lily and Dare to end up together- they were perfect for each other.
“You’re such a complication,” I whispered against his lips, and felt him smile in response. “You’re a dream inside a living nightmare, and I’m a bastard for pulling you in.”
I was kept on my toes throughout the whole story wondering what was going to happen. Not only with Kieran, Lily and Dare but also with the whole families, when all the lies and secrets would come out, and who would survive the fall out. I could not put the book down and I didn’t want to. The love stories were beautiful and heartbreaking, the drama was intense and full of twists and suspense and the story just flowed effortlessly. I love that the ending has left it open for us to have Kieran’s story which I am absolutely on pins and needles for! Overall this has been one of my favourite reads of 2017!
“For every lie and betrayal, and for the life we would never have . . . my heart broke open and tears rolled, fat and heavy down my cheeks.”

Kiss My Boots by Harper Sloan Review
4 SMOOCHES!
SYNOPSIS:
In this second of the sultry, Western-set Coming Home series from New York Times bestselling author Harper Sloan, Quinn Davis might finally have a shot at her own happily-ever-after—but will she let love in, or will she tell it to go ahead and kiss her boots?
Quinn Davis prefers to live her life quietly. She’s the stereotypical tomboy with two overprotective big brothers who have always been there to protect her, especially from devilishly handsome cowboys with silver tongues. That is, until Tate Montgomery comes riding into town. Their first meeting, however, is far from something out of a fairy tale and only further convinces Quinn that men aren’t worth her time.
The only place Tate Montgomery ever truly felt at home growing up was during the long, sweltering summer months he spent at his Gram and Paw’s farm in Pine Oak, Texas. Now, Tate has returned to his childhood sanctuary seeking a fresh start—but if he’s being entirely honest, he’s not just back for the wranglers and Stetsons. During those summers, Quinn was a friend-turned-young-love who Tate lost when life threw him a curveball and he cut all ties to his past; but all it takes is one glance at the raven-haired beauty he did his best to forget for him to realize just how much he’s been missing….
REVIEW:
I’ve loved Harper Sloan’s writing since I picked up her first release, Axel, and her Corps Security series is one of my favorites. I’ve read almost everything she’s written, and I love her special brand of alpha males. This series is a departure from her usual, so I was excited to see what she’d do with cowboys. I’m happy to say that she did it well, and while I haven’t yet read Lost Rider, the first book in the Coming Home series, I’ll be rectifying that soon. This book is a standalone, and although I may have gotten a bit more backstory development, I wasn’t at all hindered nor did I feel as though I was missing something by not having read the first book.
Set in Pine Oak, Texas, Kiss My Boots was a sweet and sexy second-chance, small-town romance between Quinn Davis and Tate Montgomery, childhood friends and then first loves separated by circumstances not of their making or choosing. Reunited nine years later, Tate is determined to win her back, but Quinn has demons from her upbringing that don’t make it easy for her to trust, and his sudden departure is a big hurdle for her to clear.
“…it could end in disaster, Leigh.”
“Or…it could end in pure magic.”
“It could be my destruction,” I debate.
“Or it could be your salvation.”
The chemistry between Quinn, the town’s mechanic, and Tate, an OB-GYN returning to fulfill his small-town doctor dream, burns just as brightly as it did nine years earlier when they were teens in throes of young love. Tate patiently took the time to explain why he left the way he did to Quinn, and his reasons were valid, believable and, dare I say, even noble. Forgiveness and then reconciliation were quick, but I didn’t mind that. After everything they’d been through, I actually wanted that part to be easy. So, while there wasn’t a lot of relationship angst in this book, there was some while Quinn dealt with her upbringing and the demons she was battling from it, as well as some from the last remnants of Tate’s life during the nine years they were separated. As with all great southern, small-town romances, you’ll also find a good dose of down-home drama here. There was also plenty of in-your-business humor to be had, and the side characters in this book served to make a really good story even better.
While Kiss My Boots is a very different book than what long-time readers of Harper Sloan have seen from her in the past, it’s okay, change is good, and she’s crafted a very sweet, sexy, easy-to-read story here. Sloan has created a comfortable, relatable world in Pine Oaks through her vivid descriptions and interesting supporting characters, and I’m looking forward to a return trip there. Kiss My Boots by Harper Sloan gets 4 smooches from me!

Twisted Twosome by Meghan Quinn Cover Reveal
Check out the amazing cover for TWISTED TWOSOME by Meghan Quinn!
TWISTED TWOSOME
NA Romantic Comedy
Add to Goodreads: http://bit.ly/2uarCWF
Racer McKay is a broody bastard.
From the moment I met him, he’s been rude, irritable, and unbearable.
A contractor working to remodel my parents pool house for extra cash, he stomps around in those clunky construction boots with his tool belt wrapped around his narrow waist, and a chip on his shoulder.
Racer McKay is also infuriatingly . . . sexy as hell. I want to take that pencil tucked behind his ear, and draw lazy lines slowly up and down his body all the while wanting to strangle him at the same time.
We try to stay out of each other’s way . . . that is until I have no other option but to ask for his help.
But what I don’t realize is he needs me just as much as I need him. I have money he’s desperate for, and he holds the key to making my dreams come true.
Our pranks turn from sarcastic banter, to sexual tension and lust-filled glances. Bickering matches quickly morph into slow burn moments. We’re hot, we’re cold. We push and pull. I need him, I don’t want him. We’re on the verge of combusting with an agreement dangling dangerously between us. Neither one of us can afford to lose one another and yet, we’re finding it quite hard to decipher the line that rests between love and hate.
*Twisted Twosome is a stand alone romantic comedy.
About the Author:
Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.
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. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.
Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!
