Parker is a rule breaker.

Over the course of 10 dates Parker has to persuade Izzy that he’s worth the risk, he has to persuade her that sometimes life doesn’t have to be all about rules, sometimes you have to walk on the edge to really appreciate living...

🌟REVIEW BLITZ:🌟 The Wright One by K.A. Linde

The Wright One by K.A. Linde

Release Date: May 29th 2018 by K.A. Linde Inc.

Series: Wright Love Duet #2, Wright Series #6

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

A new sexy contemporary romance duet from USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde…

Secrets swarm all around.
My world is crumbling under the strain.
I don’t know if we can survive this.
My heart is in the Wright place.
But is his?

The Wright One is the last book in the Wright Love Duet that began in The Wright Love. Find out if Sutton and David survive their world of secrets in the conclusion to the Wright Love duet!

Purchase: Amazon US, Amazon UK, iBooks, B&N, Kobo, Google Play

My Review:

The Wright One is the concluding book in Sutton and David’s story. The story is about second chances at love and new beginnings.

In The Wright Love we left off with a shocking cliffhanger, that picks ups in the second book as we get to find out what happens next after Sutton finds out about David’s past. It’s evident at the very beginning that Sutton is still struggling after the death of her husband and after opening up to David, she never expected to get hurt again. Now the story focuses on Sutton making the right decision of whether she wants to give David another chance or not. Meanwhile, ever since David revealed his past to the Wrights everything has changed for him. He wants to win Sutton back and to do that he has to put his heart on the line. Without revealing too much, we get to see the characters grow in the book and they start to understand each other better. Sutton finally gets to see David’s world, but she still feels that she can’t fully move on and that’s when we get a whole rollercoaster of emotions. It was a bit frustrating seeing her going back and forth, and not being able to decide what she wanted. 

On the other hand, I really loved David and was totally rooting for him until the very end. He is such a great character and totally lovable. He had a rough past just like Sutton, but he is willing to do anything to win her back. He has a great relationship with the rest of the Wrights and it was nice seeing all of them again. There were a few issues that felt unresolved to me that could have made the book that much better. All in all, the ending was sweet and it fit their story so well. I would highly recommend reading this story and the rest of the Wright series. You will not regret it! :)

🌟BOOK BLITZ:🌟 Pink Slips by Emma J. Wolfen {EXCERPT + GIVEAWAY!}

Pink Slips by Emma J. Wolfen

Release Date: Summer 2018

Pages: 256

Genres: Adult, Romance

Hope Hunter has a simple goal: she wants it all. It’s not greed; she just believes a professional woman should enjoy both a successful career and a fulfilling love life. At least, that’s what she used to think. Now she’s not so sure.

A few months ago, Hope’s life was coming together beautifully. A recent MBA graduate, she ran the venture capital division of a world-class Chicago ad agency. Her husband, David, was wonderful, and her life seemed, well, perfect. 

Things start to go wrong when Hope accepts a job as CEO of Pink Slips, a digital startup pushed by her brother-in-law, Joel. Something isn’t quite right about Pink Slips, but by the time Hope puts her finger on what’s wrong, it’s too late.

With her marriage ruined, her professional future in jeopardy, and a passionate encounter with the handsome Rob Adler still on her mind, Hope relocates to London, England, where she meets the inaccessible Jeffrey Davis. There, she hopes to decide if it’s worth fighting for the Pink Slips job and whether Rob or Jeffrey has any place in her life.

An entertaining look at the difficulties and rewards of juggling work and romance, Pink Slips is the first book in the Hope Hunter Chronicles.

She met her own eyes in the mirror. Am I being a fool? A fool who’s about to have great sex, she thought devilishly.

“See, David? Two can play this game. Oh no, I’m not doing this to get even with David,” she shouted out loud, sure she was losing her mind, as she now talked to herself not just in her head but also out loud. The bell rang. She winked at herself, trying to believe she could be the person she was about to be. She buzzed him in. “Come on up. I’ve been waiting for you,” she said seductively.

She opened the door to find Shelly standing there. “Did I miss a meeting? What the hell, Hope?” cracked Shelly.

“What are you doing here? I’m expecting Adler. You have to leave,” said Hope, embarrassed and worried Adler would be embarrassed too and would leave.

“Oh, a little afternoon delight. OK, OK, you need this, but I want details,” Shelly said, laughing.

Buzzz. Hope pressed the button. “Uh…hello.” Shit, that wasn’t the seductive greeting I wanted.

“It’s me.” His voice melted her. “OMG, I think I just came hearing his voice,” joked Shelly.

“Get out of here, and don’t let him see you,” said Hope. She pushed her friend out the door and tried to regain her seductive voice, realizing Adler was walking down the hall.

Hope paused, took a deep breath and then opened the door.

“Hello, gorgeous,” he said so simply but in a way that made her knees wobble. Adler had such a way. “I guess great minds think alike.” He slammed the door behind him, grabbed her close, and began to kiss her passionately. He thrust his tongue into Hope’s mouth, but his breath smelled like an Altoid. He actually cared enough to eat a mint before he kissed me, thought Hope. Either that or this wasn’t his first rodeo. His hands moved from her face to her breasts and down to her butt as he pulled her toward him.

🌟BOOK BLITZ:🌟 The Boyfriend Experience by J.A. Huss {EXCERPT + GIVEAWAY!}

The Boyfriend Experience by J.A. Huss

Release Date: May 30th 2018

Series: Jordan’s Game #3

Genres: New Adult, Romance, Comedy

It’s a simple request. But the girl…

Well, she’s not so simple. Oaklee Ryan is a pragmatist. She lives in reality, she deals with facts, and she’s goal oriented. So when she paid a visit to Jordan Wells asking for a game, calling it, “The Boyfriend Experience”, he thought he knew what she was getting at.

Wining, dining, maybe a date to a wedding to appease her meddling mother…

No. That’s not quite what Oaklee had in mind.

Lawton Gabriel took this game as a favor to his friend. And it only took him five minutes to regret it. Because Oaklee Ryan is insane. She’s loud, she’s demanding, and she’s dead set on getting her way.

If she thinks he’s gonna turn into her version of a boyfriend…

Just. No.

He’ll do anything it takes to get out of this crazy contract!

{EXCERPT}

She’s smiling up at me, her brown eyes turned slightly yellow from the glow of the lights, her cheeks pink. Flushed from the exertion of sex. Her breathing slower now, but not her heart. Because I can feel it underneath me.

Still pounding.

Waiting for more.

Trying to match mine.

So we can keep time together.

I think that’s what hearts do. Keep time. Keep everything together. Keep this crazy thing called life in perspective.

“One more time here,” I say. “Then I’ll take you inside so I can get you naked.”

It’s too cold to make her take her clothes off. Even though I know she’d do that if I asked her to. I can already feel the chill of her beneath me. But my body heat will help. Will protect her from the cold.

The deluxe package includes a boyfriend blanket on a cold night.

She opens her legs, reaches down between them to pull her panties aside, and my hips adjust enough to allow my cock to slide up to her opening. Her fingers are grabbing my shoulder now. And even through the leather I can feel them dig.

I want to take the jacket off so she can leave marks on me. I want there to be nothing between us. But I want her to be on the bottom at least once. So she can look up and see the surreal fantasy version of the underside of her water tower just like I did. So we can share that special feeling of being with someone you adore in a way that can’t be repeated.

No one will ever make love to her like this again. Not even me. Because this is a moment and moments pass into other moments and no two are ever alike.

She thrusts her hips upward, trying to force me to enter her. I just grin, because not gonna happen. Not until I say so, at least.

“Come on,” she whispers, watching me intently. “Let’s go.”

“We’ve got time. There’s no rush.”

She thrusts upward again. “There is a rush. A rush I want to experience again. Don’t make me beg, Lawton Ayers.”

“Begging?” I ask playfully. “Is that something you do?”

She giggles, then gets serious real quick. She frowns. Pouts her lips. Widens her eyes. “Please,” comes out like a whimper. Like she’s been wounded and needs relief. Relief only I can administer.

“Just take a moment, Oaklee. Feel it with me.”

Her eyes narrow slightly. Like she’s trying to figure out what I’m asking.

“The game is over,” I say. “That’s what I want you to feel. We passed it by some time ago. I’m not sure when, exactly. But the game is over.”

“OK,” she says, her face relaxing. The pout is gone. The confusion is gone. And all her expectations seem to melt away. “We’re real,” she whispers.

GALEN

Lust.
My ultimate downfall,
And demise.
I'm shackled to a life I can't escape.
A life I never asked for.

Now, I'm trapped--soulless,
Burdened by a Watcher lurking within.
He wants out, he wants her.
But I can't let that happen,
Won't let that happen.

She's mine.

Somehow that doesn't matter.
I can’t have what I crave.
What I want.
What I need.

As the Watcher fights me,
Battles for control,
I refuse to succumb.
It's a power I'll never relinquish.
I can't unleash what lies beneath,
Without paying the ultimate price,
And losing her in the end.

Damon Atwood was Hollywood’s golden boy. Having won an Oscar at the tender age of thirteen, he had the life many could only dream about. But his success came at a price, and after a short but fruitful film career, he chose to live a life of obscurity on a remote Scottish island. Almost a decade later he’s finally ready to make his return, starting with a lead role in a musical on London’s West End.

As a choreographer’s assistant, Rose Taylor has always faded into the background. She watches shows come to life from the side lines, but has never craved the attention of stardom. When rumours begin circulating of Damon’s involvement in her latest gig, she doesn’t predict how she will be thrust into the limelight, nor how the mysterious and strangely introverted man will need her to teach him how to be a star again.

Rose knows that show crushes don’t last. Actors fall for each other during the intensity of a production, often losing themselves in their roles. These kinds of affairs burn bright and then they fade. The question is, should Rose let herself shine with Damon, or guard her heart from being broken after the final curtain call?

🌟BOOK BLITZ:🌟 Royal Service by Leslie North {EXCERPT + GIVEAWAY!}

Royal Service by Leslie North

Release Date: May 24th 2018 by Relay Publishing

Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

King Phillip is a real life Prince Charming. Golden haired with a Danovian accent, and a solid gold crown sitting on his head, he’s every girl’s daydream. He’s a good man and an even better king, but the one thing he’s been terrible at is choosing a royal wife -- fearing a marriage that’s more about policy than passion. But when his mother invites all the eligible maidens to The Summer House Party, Phillip is trapped in a real-life Bachelor where he won’t have the option of quietly splitting from the girl after the party is over -- he’ll be wed to her for life.

Ella Fernstone is tired of being the family servant. After her father died, Ella was receded to the basement as her stepmother began a full court press to cultivate her own daughters. Ella’s ready to escape the hot mess of a home that she grew up in by finally pursuing her dream of competitive riding: something she’s been preparing her whole life to do. All she has to do is marry one of her step sisters off to the King of Danovar to finally find her freedom. It couldn’t be that hard right?

That was until Ella was the first to fall for the King’s dashing good looks and an offer to ride off with him into the sunset. Ella is hesitant -- a Queen’s life was still one of servitude, but it’s hard to ignore the pull of a handwritten love letter and a skillfully delivered kiss. Phillip too is caught up in seducing what he never expected to find: an eligible woman he might just learn to love. But when the reality of a royal marriage comes crashing down, Phillip and Ella must decide if they can risk their hearts, or their freedoms, on the chance of true love.

{EXCERPT}

King Phillip Gregory Humbert Alcott knelt beside his favorite vintage Indian motorcycle, grease coating his hands, and wished he could stay there forever. Or better yet, finish fixing it up and then just ride off into the sunset. Unfortunately, the sun’s current angle in the mid-afternoon sky put the kibosh on that plan—not to mention the gaggle of women halfway down the drive, any one of whom he was supposed to marry.

Phillip loosened the rear axle nut with a grunt, putting more effort into it than was strictly necessary. A strand of his long blond hair swung loose and he pushed it aside with his forearm. Fixing up his motorcycles usually brought him peace, but lately, with his thirtieth birthday looming, there was hardly any peace for him in the whole of Danovar. According to his country’s law—not to mention his mother’s insistance—he was supposed to choose his queen by the time he turned thirty. And seeing as he’d managed to successfully ignore that law for the last twenty-nine years and nine months, now he had exactly three months left to pick a bride. His mother’s way of “helping” him achieve that goal was to gather all the eligible ladies for a weeks-long party at the Summer House, so that he might pick one to marry before the impending deadline.

The ladies had been arriving all day, and the group at the other end of the drive was among the last of the bunch. Dressed in their jewel-toned finery, they looked like a flock of peacocks, fluttering around and clucking amongst themselves while they assessed the Summer House with openly calculating gazes, not even noticing him kneeling there covered in oil and engine grease.

His mouth twisted. One of those oblivious women might well be his future wife.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to get married. In fact, he’d always been enamored with the idea of growing old with a woman he loved—but that was the problem. During this party he wasn’t so much picking a wife as he was choosing a queen, someone who was capable of ruling Danovar at his side. That meant he would never marry for love, and having seen his parents and grandparents live through loveless marriages, he knew it was nothing to look forward to. He wished there was a way for his duty and love to go hand in hand but it just wasn’t in the stars, and being king meant putting his country before his own desires.

He allowed the rear wheel to slide in the swingarm a bit, blowing out a breath and rolling his shoulders to try to get the tension out of his muscles as he returned to his bike. It wasn’t what he wanted that mattered, he reminded himself. It was what his people needed. And if his people needed one of these scheming peacocks to be his wife, then that’s what they would damn well get.

But that didn’t mean he couldn’t enjoy himself a bit first. Sneak off, spend a few hours on the road, just him and the sunset and the cherry-red bike roaring beneath him. Once he could manage to focus long enough to get the damn drive chain tightened, this beauty would ride like the wind. He’d be sure to get back in time to give the opening speech tonight, of course—shirking his duties was no way to start his search for a queen—but he just needed a little freedom, a little time to himself.

One last limo pulled in, carrying the final load of ladies who were here to vie for the royal engagement ring. Two women who looked like sisters climbed out and stared up at the Summer House, but at least they looked more like they were appreciating its beauty than calculating how much money the crystal chandeliers and extravagant stables were worth. These two were attractive enough, he supposed, and in other circumstances he might not have minded flirting with them. In fact, maybe he could simply pretend he was his brother Eric tonight—then he could flirt with anything in a dress and it could all be fun and games, rather than the official business of the crown.

The women’s servant was standing at the rear of the limo, efficiently unloading the designer luggage. Now with her, he’d love to do more than flirt. She was sexy as hell from behind, clad in a crisp outfit that screamed personal assistant. It also screamed I have a nice ass. Her golden hair was caught up in a bouncy ponytail, and the second he saw it he couldn’t stop thinking about what it would feel like to wrap those golden locks around his hand, tug her head back and angle her just right for a scorching-hot kiss, to run his other hand across those delicious curves and then down, down, down even further, until she was panting and trembling and neither of them could remember their own names.

He tightened the axle back in place and set his tools in their box, wiping his hands on a rag as he contemplated her. It had been a long time since a woman had affected him this strongly, this quickly—but judging from the efficient, completely un-self-conscious way she was juggling her bosses’ luggage, she had no idea she was drop-dead gorgeous. Her innocence was refreshing after all the stuffy gold-diggers he’d watched drive up, who he’d now have to spend the next few weeks courting.

He stood, dropped the rag, and straddled his bike. He’d just been thinking he needed an escape, and now he couldn’t conceive of a better one than shirking tonight’s duties to spend some quality time with the gorgeous creature in front of him. Usually his flings had to go through layers of security checks before he was alone with them, but he was feeling restless and reckless, and the beauty in front of him would be the perfect cure for that.

Decision made, he revved the engine.
