Where Good Girls Go To Die by Holly Renee Cover Reveal

By Miranda Arnold in Reveals & Tours

Cover Design: Regina Wamba / Mae I Design & Photography

Release Date: April 13, 2017

Synopsis

It was a bad idea from the beginning.

He was my brother’s best friend and the definition of unavailable.

But I didn’t care.

I had loved him for as long as I could remember.

He was worth the risk. He was worth everything.

But then he broke my heart as easily as I fell for him. He watched me fall, spiraling out of control, and as I reached for him, he wasn’t there to catch me.

So I ran.

Four years later, I never expected to see him again.

He was still my brother’s best friend, and he was more unavailable than ever.

He looked every bit the bad boy I knew he was, covered in tattoos and a crooked smile.

Guarding my heart from him was top priority because Parker James was where good girls go to die.

Unfortunately for him, I wasn’t a good girl anymore.

What do ice cream and Sadie Montgomery have in common? They’re both ice cold, but one taste is never enough.

I wanted to be friends — I would have even settled for her seeing me as anything but a nerd — but there was no getting through. So just like any hard-headed, red-blooded man out there, I made up my mind.

I’d make my coworker fall for me.

I’d like to say it was simple, but like every other epic love story, all it took was one drunken night and a lot of naked courage to get the girl. For a moment, at least.

Love with a coworker is never simple, especially since Sadie’s trying to keep us on the low. Not to mention her persistent ex-boyfriend who won’t leave her alone. But I’ve never been good at giving up, and I don’t plan to start now.

The whole thing is a recipe for a rocky road, but I plan to eat the whole gallon, no matter how bad the brain freeze.

Check out our 5 smooches review HERE.

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!

Review

I love Meghan Quinn’s books. Every single one I’ve read has never failed to entertain me while keeping a smile on my face. This author’s sense of humor just ticks off all my boxes, and the way that she so effortlessly builds it into her sweet and sexy romantic stories is what true romantic comedies are all about.

“He is the most ridiculous man I have ever met. Adorably ridiculous.”

So, when I read the blurb for Co-Wrecker, I was instantly all in. I mean, hello! Hot nerd! From Meghan Quinn?? Oh yes, I’ll take that right now, thank you. It was everything I’d hoped it would be. The humor was hilarious and multifaceted, shifting between slap-sticky type moments to witty sarcasm effortlessly. The love story was complex, and while this was a light read, this couple, the heroine particularly, had some serious things to overcome on their way to happily ever after, and this is what Meghan Quinn does so well. She’s stealthy, sneaking in a deep, moving and hard-won love story within the pages of a light, breezy humor heavy story. It was unexpected, and the feels Co-Wrecker invoked in me often took me by surprise in the very best of ways.

“He’s a four-leaf clover in a field of weeds; you don’t let men like him slip through your fingers.”

Andrew was a dream guy, point blank. The guy was perfect with his glasses and his quirks. Kind, patient, sweet and romantic, but don’t you be fooled, good ol’ Andrew could be forceful and dominant when he needed to be. Sadie had the weight of the world on her overburdened shoulders. Mired so deep within her own life’s tragedies, failures and mistakes, she nearly missed out on the love of a lifetime.

Co-Wrecker was so much more than just a simple romantic comedy. There was real and genuine love that needed to be fought for in the midst of all the witty banter, seriously steamy sex and moments of hilarity. I loved this book so, so much. Meghan Quinn’s Co-Wrecker gets five smooches from me!

EXTRA CREDIT - About book

Extra Credit E-Cover The first time I saw Will Munroe I had him pegged as a typical LA douchebag—a little too handsome, a little too rich, a little too into his probiotic kale smoothies. The next time I ran into him—at his daughter’s parent/teacher conference (me: teacher, he: parent)—I noticed his steel grey eyes, his hard chest under a crisp white button down, and his suggestively bare ring finger. I was hooked.

If life really imitated art, he’d have swept me off my feet and taken me right there on the principal’s desk. Instead, we are stuck in our assigned roles. He’s the workaholic single dad of a precocious girl child, and I’m her fiery substitute teacher. Never the two shall meet. Enter one zany, yurt-dwelling ex-wife, a stock market that never sleeps, and some over-the-top, A-list fundraisers, and I’ve got plenty of drama ahead. Better to keep my hands to myself.

But when Will asks me out for a pancake breakfast, how can I resist? My heart (and my stomach) say yes, but am I willing to risk my job for a short stack and a romp in the hay? A slow, sensual, mind-blowing romp in the hay…

But where there’s a Will…

Meghan March has been known to wear camo face paint and tromp around in woods wearing mud-covered boots, all while sporting a perfect manicure. She’s also impulsive, easily entertained, and absolutely unapologetic about the fact that she loves to read and write smut. Her past lives include slinging auto parts, selling lingerie, making custom jewelry, and practicing corporate law. Writing books about dirty talking alpha males and the strong, sassy women who bring them to their knees is by far the most fabulous job she’s ever had.

REVIEW

Kat and Dane have only been married a few years. Theirs was a whirlwind romance and even though it burned hot and bright to start, it appears the flame is about to go out. Dane is keeping big secrets he has yet to reveal to Kat and even though she doesn’t mean to, Kat is building a wall to keep Dane out and hiding herself in work after losing too many people loved. Will their 2 year anniversary romantic trip save their marriage? Will Kat be able to forget about work and focus on her love for Dane? Or will the secrets Dane has been keeping finally catch up to him in a way he couldn’t imagine?

“In fairy tales, the wedding is always followed by and they lived happily ever after. In real life, I do just means the real work begins.”

This was an unexpected read but in a great way. It was definitely a romance and that element of it was classic. A second chance between a young couple who have lost their way but don’t want to lose each other. But we also had the surprise of Dane’s secret and the way in which is catches up to him. You think things are moving in the right direction and then suddenly it all changes.

“But I’m not willing to give her up without a fight. I want her afraid. I want her off-balance. Bottom line, I want her.”

Dane and Kat were both beautiful but broken in their own way. Kat is not letting Dane in because she has lost too many people she loves and is scared of getting hurt. But she’s also hiding a secret that she is scared to burden Dane with. She is beautiful, funny and her love for Dane and the way she doesn’t want to give up brought a tear to my eye. Dane is handsome and fit, and even though he is frustrated with Kat, he wants to do everything he can to not let their relationship fail. I loved them both, and wanted so badly for their marriage to work out so they could get their HEA.

“I want every day I can get, whether it’s twenty thousand or twenty. I love you, Kat.”

Even though the romance between the two main characters was perfectly written and really enjoyable to read about. It wasn’t just the romance that kept me reading. The drama, suspense and action was unexpected and just added an exciting element and threw a spanner in the works when you thought everything was going to be fine! The story just flowed and kept you interested throughout. The only slight negative for me was that it the drama/action part of it seemed to begin and then end quite quickly but that’s only because I wanted more! Can’t wait for the next read from this author.

Goodbye Paradise by Sarina Bowen Review

By Miranda Arnold in 4 Smooches, Reviews

4 Smooches

Synopsis

Most people called it a cult. But for twenty years, Josh & Caleb called it home.

In Paradise, there is no television. No fast food. Just long hours of farm work and prayer on a dusty Wyoming ranch, and nights in a crowded bunkhouse. The boys of the Compound are kept far from the sinners’ world.

But Joshua doesn’t need temptation to sin. His whole life, he’s wanted his best friend, Caleb. By day they work side by side. Only when Josh closes his eyes at night can they be together the way he craves.

It can never be. And his survival depends on keeping his terrible desires secret.

Caleb has always protected Josh against the worst of the bullying at the Compound. But he has secrets of his own, and a plan to get away — until it all backfires.

Josh finds himself homeless in a world that doesn’t want him. Can Caleb find him in time? And will they find a place of safety, where he can admit to Josh how he really feels?

Warning: Contains a hot male/male romance, copious instances of taking the Lord’s name in vain, and love against the kitchen counter. This book was previously released under the title: In Front of God & Everyone.

Review

Sarina Bowen originally released Goodbye Paradise under the pen name Nealy Wagner but has now rereleased it with little changes under her name. I was extremely intrigued in this story from the moment I read the blurb. I enjoy a good cult book and after dabbing on the polygamist cult in her book, Keepsake, I knew this was a book I wanted to read. I have read some of Sarina’s male/male books before and in general I am a fan of the genre.

Overall, the story kept my attention and I loved Caleb with all my heart. I fell for him the moment he let his true self shine through and I wanted him to be the strong loving man I knew he could be. I went back and forth with Josh, for the most part though I loved him. The twist in the story got me mad for a moment but also eager had me eagerly reading to find out how it all plays out.

I will say that there were a instances where the story wasn’t everything I was hoping for. Times when I would have like a little more from them but Caleb and Josh’s heat and sweet nature with each other won me over and in the end I did really enjoy it.

Review

Hot and sexy hockey players . . . YES PLEASE! Helping out the troops! HELL YES!

I was so excited to read these 18 stories from both new to me authors and authors I love. Diving in was a great way to spend a lazy weekend. The anthology had something for everyone and not one of the stories let me down.

The top standout for me personally was IN SKATES TROUBLE by Kate Meader. The story was hot and captivating and I always love the way Kate writes. She brings you in and makes it impossible not to get lost in the book. A new to me author that I found in this anthology and now cannot wait to read more by them is Robin Kaye. I really enjoyed her story and look forward to checking out her other books.

For 99pennies this is a set you really don’t want to miss out on. I guarantee you won’t be let down.

Fighting Pride by Jennifer Miller

By Miranda Arnold in Reveals & Tours

Fighting Pride by Jennifer Miller

Release Date: March 20, 2017

It’s been five years since I’ve seen her.

Five years since we lost everything.

Five years since I sold my soul to the devil and broke her heart to save her.

The years have been long, the sacrifice and loneliness have been crippling…and now, she’s back.

I’m not supposed to see her, talk to her – I’m not supposed to want her. It will only break open wounds I’ve fought to keep closed, but I can’t stay away. I tell myself I only want to see her face, to know my sacrifice has been worth it.

Because I sold my soul, and sometimes I’d do anything, even if it means hurting her again, to get it back.

– “I’m not willing to take a knife to my scars and allow them to bleed anymore. I’ve come too far to take steps back to that painful time, and that’s what you are. I can pretend all I want but that’s what you are. You’re pain.”
