THE REVENGE PACT by Ilsa Madden-Mills

Release Date:  December 3, 2020

Cover Designed by: Leticia Hasser

 

#1 Amazon charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills delivers an all-new enemies-to-lovers romance that blurs the lines between revenge and love…

River Tate is a god on campus.
The king of football.
A tattooed bad boy with gunmetal eyes that see right through you.
The only chink in his armor is her, the girl he pretends doesn’t exist, the forbidden one with the shy smile and lavender hair.

Anastasia Bailey is a nobody.
The queen of nothing.
An outsider with the face of an angel and a body made for sin.
The only chink in her armor is him, her boyfriend’s frat brother, the football player who hates her.

But when Anastasia’s life crashes down, River’s the one who sweeps in and picks up the pieces. Torn between loyalty, lies, and secrets, he battles the temptation to take everything from her when they make their revenge pact.

He can’t tell her no.
Because revenge (or love) is sweet, and once you get a taste, the craving never ends.

THE RELATIONSHIP PACT by Adriana Locke
Release Date:  December 17, 2020 
Cover Designed by: Leticia Hasser

 

How hard can it be?

That was the question rolling around Larissa Mason’s mind just before she asked Hollis Hudson to be her fake boyfriend.

It was only supposed to be for five minutes, after all.

Granted, that was also before she felt his hand on the small of her back as he charmed the heck out of her family.

She hadn’t heard his laugh yet either.

And it was definitely before she saw the football god shirtless. Otherwise, she would’ve had an idea of just how hard some things could be.

It turns out that pretending to be in love with a crazily handsome, somewhat enigmatic, and absolutely unforgettable tight end (that has an amazing tight end) is easy.

Reminding herself that just because opposites attract doesn’t mean they’re forever is much harder.

What they have isn’t love—it’s a relationship pact. Right?

EXCERPT:

He wedged his large body beside me in the bed. On his side, he draped one arm across my middle, curling his other under his head.

I watched him out of the corner of my eye, completely unsure if I was supposed to cuddle into him or what the hell we were doing.

“This okay?” he asked. “You comfortable?”

I was a lot of things. Confused. Lost. Overwhelmed by guilt.

But because it was Camden, comfortable was one of those things too.

As an answer, I rolled toward him and buried my face in his broad chest.

His whole body sagged as he began stroking the back of my hair. “Nora. Nora. Nora.”

In a way, Camden and I were strangers, but as his heart played in my ear, I felt two puzzle pieces clicking into place. A calm washed over me. The dark cloud of my betrayals still existed outside of Camden’s embrace; it just didn’t seem so ominous anymore. He knew all the dirty and broken parts of me and still came back, holding me as though he could keep me together.

Sliding an arm around his back, I curled in close, shifting to tangle my legs with his.

“I’m tired, Cam.”

“I know,” he whispered, hugging me tight.

“No, you don’t. Nobody understands. I’m a disease who infects everyone who gets close to me.” My breathing shuddered. “It hurts. Everything hurts.”

“Do you remember our first summer together when a grasshopper got into the container where we held the extra worms? You screamed so loud when you opened that thing and it came flying out like a bat out of hell. It got on your shirt and then hung on for dear life. With all the racket you were making, the damn thing had to have been terrified, but he never jumped off. I had to peel it off your shirt, one leg at a time.”

I gagged at the memory. “Thanks for reminding me of that. Awesome timing.”

He chuckled and pressed his lips to the top of my head. “I’m the grasshopper clinging to your shirt, Nora.”

Now, if that wasn’t some good old classic Camden Cole rambling, I had no idea what was.

I tilted my head back, resting my chin on his pec, and peered up at him. “You do realize I have no idea what you’re talking about, right?”

My cold, hollow chest filled with a warmth I hadn’t felt in years when he grinned down at me.

“I genuinely thought you’d find your way back to me. A phone call. A visit. Anything. But as time passed and I got older, I realized I fell in love with a girl who had no idea how to be loved.”

My stomach wrenched, and emotion made my vision swim. “Camden, I—”

“No, just let me talk. Hear me out.” He tucked a stray hair behind my ear and let his thumb linger at my cheek, sweeping back and forth. “I know you love me, Nora. It’s flashed in your eyes every time you’ve seen me since we were kids. It’s like every light in the house suddenly comes on, but it terrifies you, so you spend the whole time we’re together running around, turning them all off, convincing yourself that you don’t deserve for people to love you back. But we still do it. Joe loves you. Thea loves you. Ramsey loves you. I’ll always love you.”

REVIEW:

Aly Martinez is a gifted storyteller, no doubt about that, and she completely shattered me with Reclaim, an intense coming-of-age love story. A childhood friends-to-lovers slow burn romance, Nora and Camden’s story spanned many years, and it was moving, poignant and, at times, painful. But as devastating as Nora’s history was, her soul-enrichening love story provided a much needed splash of beauty to intermingle with all of her pain.

Martinez starts this story at the very beginning, where the pre-adolescent versions of Nora and Camden meet as children, and although through most of their relationship they only get summers together, they knew that they’d found something special in each other. In Cam, Nora finds safety, comfort and an escape from the turmoil of her young life. Cam was such an incredible character, seemingly born as a naturally swoon-worthy hero. He knew she was it for him pretty early on, and he was not only prepared to wait for Nora, he actually did. He recognized that he had fallen for someone who didn’t know how to accept love, and his patience and support of Nora as she healed was one of the most beautiful and moving examples of love being patient and kind that I’ve ever read.

Full of trauma, trying circumstances and turbulent emotion, Reclaim was a moving and memorable story of love and healing. Martinez’s captivating portrayal of Cam and Nora’s young friendship catching fire and slowly-burning over time into love demanded all of my attention from start to finish. I devoured this story, I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough, and I didn’t want to put it down. Aly ran my poor heart through the wringer as it ached and raced with all this couple went through, but every single word, moment and scene of this wonderfully bittersweet yet tender love story was worth the emotional toll. Five smooches from me for Reclaim by Aly Martinez!

See Me After Class by Meghan Quinn Blog Tour with Excerpt

SEE ME AFTER CLASS, an enemies-to-lovers workplace romantic comedy from USA Today Bestselling Author, Meghan Quinn, is available now, and I’m excited to share an excerpt with you today!

…it was never my intention to ever get involved in a workplace romance…

 

“Did you have relations with my brother . . .”

Good question.

I’d like to preface this by saying it was never my intention to ever get involved in a workplace romance, let alone get involved with the most surly, agitating, and pompous man I’ve ever met who just so happens to be my new friend’s brother.

My intentions were to show students how English and reading books could actually be fun and make a new life for myself in the suburbs of Chicago.

But so far, I’ve managed to be called into the principal’s office.

Coerced into participating in the teacher’s badminton league.

And instigated into passionate fights with Arlo Turner over education and decorum while losing my underwear at the same time.

Known as Mr. Turns Me On, he’s the reason I might get fired from my first ever teaching job.

Check out Danielle’s 5 SMOOCHES review!

 

EXCERPT:

Prologue:

**GREER**

“Before we get started, I’ve been told I need to ask you a question.” Stella sits cross-legged in front of me, a nervous look on her face, water in hand.

“Oh?” I ask, trying to act casual as I bring my glass of red wine to my lips. I have a scary inkling what this might be about.

She glances over at Coraline and winces. “Uh, I feel weird asking.”

Oh God . . . I was right.

Shifting, I say, “You know, we don’t have to—”

“Then why bring it up if you’re not going to propose your query?” Keiko asks impatiently while pushing her green-rimmed glasses up on her nose. “You know the frequency of these meetings is dependent upon staying within the comprehensive itinerary I composed during my lunchbreak.”

“Cool your bloomers, Keeks,” Coraline says while taking a large sip from her wine glass.

“I want to know what’s making Stella so fidgety.”

The four founding members of the Ladies in Heat Book Club—aka my mismatched collection of friends—each bring diverse and unique character traits to our group.

Keiko “Keeks” Seymour—resident AP chemistry teacher at Forest Heights High School. Her social etiquette is lacking, her intelligence is off the charts, and she’d rather play with beakers than penises. She wasn’t thrilled about the book club name and made a noble attempt to explain why her suggestion, the Austen Empowerment Collaborative, was far more credible. Majority ruled, she lost.

Stella Garcia—Spanish teacher at Forest Heights and my co-coach. Currently single, makes the best tamales I’ve ever had, and is one stamp away from getting a free donut at Frankie Donuts. Can be shy at times, but when it comes to her family and friends, she doesn’t take shit from anyone. Loyal to the core, one of the reasons I adore her.

Coraline “Cora” Turner—recent divorcée and living with her brother, Arlo. Jobless at the moment and couldn’t care less about it since both she and Arlo have enough inheritance to last them a lifetime. Often annoyed by her older brother or annoying him, doesn’t partake in Twitter—says it’s a filthy pool of opinions, and is the first to offer up a bottle of wine.

Then there’s me . . .

Greer Gibson—twenty-four-year-old fresh to the teaching scene as Forest Heights’s new English teacher and women’s volleyball coach. I love running, have a penchant for a man in a cardigan, and can get a little noisy in the classroom while teaching. I currently share a classroom wall with Arlo Turner, Forest Heights most prestigious English teacher, and might have lost my underwear—

“Out with it, Stella,” Cora says, snapping at her.

“Please, so we can proceed,” Keeks says, straightening her notepad on her lap.

Stella looks me in the eyes and says, “Brock wants to know if there’s anything going onnbetween you and Turner. Apparently, Turner won’t say a thing, but Brock thinks there’s some strong sexual tension building.”

Cora whips her head to me, her eyes wide. “Are you getting it on with my brother?”

Finger pointed in the air, Keeks leans in and says, “The proper term amongst company would be coitus.”

Rolling her eyes, Cora asks, “Did you have coitus with my brother?”

“You could also say intercourse if that amuses your jargon more,” Keeks adds. “Or copulating would be sufficient. But if you are inclined toward romantic terminology, since we are in the presence of the book club, you could say lovemaking or performing intimate acts. Although, given the circumstances of when coitus took place—in the work environment—I would deduce that your actions were performed carnally rather than with the interest of developing a devoted accord.”

“Good God, Keeks,” Cora says, irritated. “Who cares what it’s called? We just want to know if it happened.” Cora looks me in the eyes. “Did it?”

Did it . . .

Good question.

I’d like to preface this by saying it was never my intention to ever get involved in a workplace romance when I was hired at Forest Heights, let alone get involved with the most surly, agitating, and pompous man I’ve ever met.

My intentions were to show students how English and reading books could actually be fun, bring the volleyball team to a state championship, and make a new life for myself in the suburbs of Chicago.

But so far, I’ve managed to be called into the principal’s office.

Infiltrate the teachers’ athletic league.

And had passionate fights with Arlo Turner over education, decorum, and student-teacher friendships.

Not to mention I’ve lost my panties to him in my dreams more than I care to admit.

Why did this all happen?

Simple.

The man dresses in a cardigan, that’s how.

Arlo Turner. The bane of my existence, annoyance to my sanity, and the only man who’s ever made me want to spread my legs in a classroom.

He’s torn down my metaphorical walls, strapped on a cottony cardigan—pushed up the sleeves—and has driven me to the brink of insanity, so now whenever I hear the mention of his name, my legs automatically spread, and my heartrate picks up.

Known as Mr. Turns Me On, he’s the reason my star athlete is struggling to keep her grades up.

He’s the reason I tend to avoid the teacher breakroom.

And he’s the reason I might get fired from my first ever teaching job.

REVIEW:

Meghan Quinn effortlessly blends surprisingly deep emotion into her romantic comedies, and let me just tell you, it is pure genius. I always go into one of her books geared up to laugh myself silly with the absolute absurdity that is this author’s comedic signature, and I can definitely be overheard cackling through her books by my family. The thing is that her books are so much more than just uproariously funny romantic comedies. There is a seriously sexy romance happening on those pages, and amid the laughter, the lust and the love, she builds in a shock of powerfully heartfelt emotions that manages to take me by surprise with their depth each and every time.

Arlo Turner was one of the most closed off, uptight male leads that Quinn has ever written. It was really easy to not like this guy, but pay close attention, because this hero maintains a rigid, closed off persona to hide his insecurities, to shield his many layers and to guard his already battered and bruised heart. Greer Gibson is everything that Arlo is not. She’s a ray of sunshine, she has a wild sense of humor, and her enthusiastic, creative approach to teaching is a direct attack on Arlo’s academically demanding teaching style. It’s all a little unnerving to Arlo, especially when they get off on the wrong foot and things spiral down from there. The problem is that behind all the cutting commentary and the pranks, there is an inferno of attraction that neither one of them knows what to do with. They may start most of their interactions at each other’s throats, but it isn’t long before the taunts turn to teasing and temptation.

As much as I didn’t particularly like Arlo at first, I really did love him and Greer together. The rapid-fire, witty and ever-present banter in See Me After Class was some of Quinn’s best yet, and let me tell you, having read everything she’s released over the last few years, that is really saying something. Arlo and Greer’s relationship was a bit of a slow burn, but boy did it ever burn. They definitely ran each other through their paces, and in the process, Meghan took me on a full tour off all the feels. There is definitely a thin line between love and hate, and what may have started out as loathing between Arlo and Greer, quickly moved beyond lusting and blossomed into the kind of love that lasts a lifetime. As a reader who got to experience this relationship as it took root and grew, I was swept right up into this passionate, poignant and laugh-out-loud hilarious story. Five smooches from me for See Me After Class by Meghan Quinn.

EXCERPT:

“And what’s it going to take for you to have a clear mind?”

He inhales deeply, then licks his lips. “Maybe it’s going to take going through the distraction, rather than ignoring it.”

Ohhhh.

Keep talking. I am listening.

“And how would you like to do that?” I let him lay it out. He’s the one with the bigger risks, the one with the job worries.

He gives a casual, sexy shrug. “Maybe we need to deal with it.”

In the bedroom. Please say in the bedroom.

“How?”

“Get it out of our systems.”

And there it is. The recipe for my favorite kind of activity.

“Get it out of our systems . . . tonight?” I ask, waiting on a tightrope for the answer.

“One time only. Then I can think.”

My chest heats, and my lips form the only answer in my universe. “Far be it from me to stand in the way of your logic.”

Noble Prince by Devney Perry Review

5 SMOOCHES!

* * * * * * * * * *

SYNOPSIS:

The night Luke Rosen met Scarlett Marks was the only time he’s regretted becoming chief of police. One horrific night of blood and death, and now she’s living under his roof—all because he swore an oath to serve and protect.

Scarlett is stubborn and infuriating. She has no respect for the order in his structured life, and she never does anything she’s told.

REVIEW:

I am absolutely loving the Tin Gypsy series from Devney Perry, it just keeps getting better with each book. These stories are tied together with an edge-of-your-seat, heart-pounding suspenseful arc, and each one features a romantic relationship fraught with challenges and complications. This series is just so addictive! Having finished Noble Prince, the fourth book in the series, I find myself right back in familiar territory where this series is concerned, and that is anticipating the release of the next book.

Scarlett Marks is the twin sister of Presley, the heroine from Stone Princess. Noble Prince picks right up where Stone Princess left off in a suspenseful storyline that had me tapping my Kindle furiously. Perry really gives readers the chance to get to know her characters, and I particularly appreciated that here. Pairing Scarlett, a woman who had suffered through horrific abuse and trauma for her entire life, with Luke Rosen, the town police chief, gave this romance an opposites-attract vibe that was perfect. Luke is a pretty black and white kind of guy, but as things shake out with Scarlett, it seems that he’s going to have to embrace the gray a little bit. I loved how gentle and patient Luke was with this woman, she absolutely needed that from him and he gave it to her in all of the best ways. Scarlett and Luke’s romance was a bit of a slow burn—emphasis on the burn—and, again, it was very fitting for this couple.

Scarlett and Luke’s love story was an enthralling swirl of emotion, sizzling chemistry and pulse-pounding predicaments. At times thrilling and hair-raising, at times poignant and emotional, their journey to happily ever after was a twisting, turning, tumultuous trip. This was the kind of story where I couldn’t flip the pages fast enough, I didn’t want to put my Kindle down, and it was in my hand as I burned dinner. A steamy, emotional and tender romance collide with a skin-prickling suspense plot in a story that completely owned my all of my attention. Five smooches from me for Noble Prince by Devney Perry!

He can either honor his values as a cop . . . or he can break all the rules and protect the woman…

 

The night Luke Rosen met Scarlett Marks was the only time he’s regretted becoming chief of police. One horrific night of blood and death, and now she’s living under his roof—all because he swore an oath to serve and protect.

Scarlett is stubborn and infuriating. She has no respect for the order in his structured life, and she never does anything she’s told. Worse, she doesn’t seem to care that the information she has on a motorcycle gang means she might end up dead. But her unwavering strength, her courage and tenacity and beauty, makes it impossible for him to abandon her.

If Luke is going to keep her safe, he’ll have to make the hardest decision of his life. He can either honor his values as a cop, knowing Scarlett is unlikely to survive . . . or he can break all the rules and protect the woman who’s invaded his home and his heart.

EXCERPT:

“If you’re not going to get out of the way, I’ll just go around.” I spun on my shoes, whirling the opposite direction, but when I went to take a step and carry my basket away, I suddenly found its weight missing from my arm. He’d stolen it from me before I’d had the chance to clutch it tight.

Then the world was spinning. The floors, the ceiling, everything flipped topsy-turvy.

I’d fainted.

No, that wasn’t right.

I was being carried. Hauled. That had been Luke’s threat and damn it, I’d underestimated him. The chief had made good on his word.

His shoulder dug into my belly as he walked. I lifted my face, pushing the hair out of my eyes. My basket of food sat exactly where I’d been standing. My chicken and rolls and cookies and chocolate milk. The items grew smaller with every one of Luke’s strides.

“Put me down.”

He kept walking.

“Put me down!” I shouted.

Still, he kept walking.

I lifted a hand and raised it above my head. My hair kept falling in front of my face, obscuring my vision, but that didn’t stop me from using every ounce of strength I had left. I brought my fist down on Luke’s lower back. Except my aim was shit so I didn’t hit his back. No, my fist bounced off his firm, perfect ass.

Luke didn’t so much as break his stride. “I promised Presley I’d keep you safe.”

And without another word, without stopping, he carried me in a fireman’s hold out of the grocery store and into the snow.

I was going back to the daisies, whether I wanted to or not.

Hello, Scarlett. I’m rock bottom.
