🔖 RELEASE BLITZ 🔖 Cruel Princes by Jillian Frost {REVIEW}

Cruel Princes by Jillian Frost

Release Date: December 29th 2021 by Penn Publishing

Series: Princes of Devil's Creek #1

Pages: 420

Genres: Dark, Romance, Contemporary, Mafia

I hate the princes of Devil’s Creek.

Luca, Bastian, Marcello, and Damian.

For most of my life, no one wanted me… not until they needed me. Turns out I’m the lost heiress to a multi-billion dollar fortune and a pawn in their sick game.

They keep me locked in their seaside estate, completely at their mercy. All four of them are bullies, taking out their hatred for me in the form of punishments, each with their own reason for keeping me around.

I’m sick to want them.
It’s dangerous to need them.

I think I’m finding my place among these depraved monsters.

Except there’s one small problem.
They’re not the only men who want me.

There are far more dangerous men looking for the heir to the Wellington fortune… which means I’ll be staying in their beds and under their protection for the foreseeable future.

Cruel Princes is a DARK BULLY romance about four possessive men and one ruthless woman who will bring them to their knees. The main character will end up with more than one love interest.

Amazon

My Review:

Not having read any other books by Jillian Frost before, I didn’t know what to expect before reading Cruel Princes. Needless to say, the intriguing synopsis and eye-catching cover drew me in right away. The story begins by introducing Alexandrea Wellington whose life has been changed once again after her grandfather takes her and her brother into his care. He has been able to give them opportunities to start a new life at a price and Alex is not ready to give up her freedom all to marry a Salvatore. She grew up feeling tormented and now the four Salvatore brothers are ready to make her life miserable until the time comes when she has to pick a brother to marry. It would take years later for them to see each other again and this time there is no going back. What surprises Alex the most is to feel attracted to all four Salvatore brothers no matter how cruel they can be. As the only female of marrying age from The Founding Society, she needs to marry a Salvatore, those who are in charge of the Knights in order to ensure their family legacy. With time running out, it’s critical for Alex to accept her destiny until secrets start to resurface and feelings start to grow for those that she didn’t think possible.

I very much liked the overall concept of the story, although it was a bit confusing at the beginning, the story quickly had me hooked. We have Alexandrea “Alex” trying to accept her destiny by getting to know the Salvatore brothers and realizes that they might just have a lot more in common than she thought. It’s evident that all the brothers have a lot to gain by marrying Alex, but it’s only two that need it the most. The Salvatore name carries a lot of power in Devil’s Creek and it’s through their different POVs that we get to understand each of the bothers and their motives. As Alex gets to know them, their chemistry grows and it just keeps getting steamier. There is still a lot that we don’t know and that’s exactly how the book ends, with a cliffhanger leaving you wanting for more. There is so much that happens in this first book as we get familiar with their world and I cannot wait to read what happens next. I would highly recommend it if you love dark romances with a twist. :)

🔖 REVIEW BLITZ 🔖 Knocked Up by the Rockstar by Christina Hovland

Knocked Up by the Rockstar by Christina Hovland 

Release Date: December 10th 2021

Series: Mile High Rocked #2

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Things just got serious...

The only thing music publicist Courtney Lincoln dislikes more than knock-off sugary breakfast cereal is the hunky lead singer of her brother’s ridiculously popular band. A band on the rocks, again. Seems like this time it’ll take a miracle to save Dimefront. So when she discovers she’s pregnant following one teeny, tiny, mind-blowing morning with Brennan “Bax” Baxter, the timing is not great. Being a mom wasn’t part of her plan, but her plans just changed.

Following the implosion of his engagement, Bax realizes he doesn’t want to lose Dimefront, too. But he’s finally let his guard down with Courtney in a steamy slip-up that ties them together as unlikely co-parents. The big problem? He broke the cardinal rule of music—don’t knock up the bass player’s little sister. Especially a little sister who sees straight through the façade he’s painstakingly curated. But he’s always wanted a family, and he’s being offered that chance. Plus, Courtney might just be exactly who he needs to keep him grounded.

Even if the band can mend fences, there’s a baby on the way, and Courtney’s questioning everything she once thought. Bax is suddenly a dreamy boyfriend, but she isn’t convinced it’s authentic given all she knows about his rocker past. As the group heads out on what they hope is a reunion tour, Bax and Courtney have to figure out what’s real, what’s not, and if they can learn to finally trust each other…

  

Amazon, Apple, Nook, Kobo

My Review:

Knocked Up by the Rockstar is the second book in the Mile High Rocked Series by Christina Hovland. In this friends-to enemies-to-lovers romance we get to meet Courtney Lincoln, publicity manager for the band Dimefront in which her older brother happens to be the bassist for the band and her nemesis, Bax is the lead singer. Having all grown up together, Courtney knows Brennan “Bax” really well. But it’s over the years that their friendship began to drift apart as she started seeing the new persona that he was portraying in front of others and didn’t like his rockstar attitude.

Yet, it’s when news brake of how his ex-fiance betrayed him that she sees the old Brennan for the first time and wants to help him. Little did she know that by bringing him to stay at her house to lay low it would change their lives forever. As they cross the line and have a one-night stand decisions will have to be made the minute Courtney finds out that she is pregnant. While she doesn’t see herself settling down anytime soon, Bax is determined to make things work and they have to decide if they are meant to be together or better apart.

I liked the overall concept of the story and the relationships that Courtney and Bax have with the secondary characters. However, I do wish the author could have explored their relationship a little bit more, while the story was cute, there were time when I couldn’t connect with the main characters. I did liked Bax the most. The minute he finds out that Courtney is pregnant, Bax is willing to give up his career and be there for Courtney. He is sweet and overly protective. He wants to have it all and he has that opportunity to make it happen, now he has to convince Courtney that he can do better for them. The ending was cute and it gives us a teaser of what the next book in the series is going to be about. All in all, I would still recommend checking out this book if you love quick rockstar romances. (:

🔖 REVIEW BLITZ 🔖 Second Chance Vow by M. Robinson

Second Chance Vow by M. Robinson

Release Date: November 16th 2021

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author M. Robinson comes a second chance romance.

From the moment I laid eyes on her, Kinley was mine.

At fifteen years old I was determined to make it happen, but we were on and off for years until I got it right between us and finally made her my wife.

We were supposed to be forever.

So in love.

So devoted.

So consumed with each other.

But somewhere along the way we lost sight of that love.

Ten years later and that love became anger. That devotion began to crumble, and we were consumed with resentment of life not working out the way we had planned.

We meant it when we vowed for better or for worse...

So why the hell were we signing divorce papers? 

BUY NOW

My Review:

Second Chance Vow is by far the most emotionally gripping story that I’ve read by M. Robinson. This friends-to-lovers romance is about second chances at love and new beginnings. Having met the characters in Robinson’s previous standalone, Alpha CEO, they were instrumental to the main characters and now we get to finally read their own story that does not disappoint.

For OB/GYN Christian Troy the minute he laid eyes on Kinley McKenzie in high school, he knew she was his forever. He had never experience such a pull toward anyone before her and he was determined to make her his. Living in a small town in Texas where everyone knows everyone, he had heard rumors about her past. Yet, that never deterred him from wanting to be with her since he had his own battles to go through growing up. It’s one day when they are at a party that both of their lives change forever the minute he takes her first kiss. Christian trusts her with his deepest secrets and she does the same. They from a strong bond and they are able to overcome obstacles overtime. Needless to say, that soon stops and their marriage starts to crumble. Then it shocks him when Kinley insists on getting a divorce, they were supposed to last forever and he wants to know what went wrong before it’s too late.

Kinley McKenzie never expected to find someone like Christian Troy, but ever since they met when they were fifteen he has always been there for her no matter what. He doesn’t treat her different like the rest of the town and she finds comfort in him. She longs to have the family that he has as her relationship with hers is not the best. Even though Kinley is not looking to start a relationship, she can’t help but to fall head over heels in love with Christian the minute he takes her first kiss. He would take many more firsts as they start their life together. But soon all those happy moments together would end as new obstacles come their way and they slowly start drifting apart. Yet, she can’t continue to allow Christian to sacrifice more than he already has and Kinley makes the difficult decision to divorce him. Nevertheless, Christian isn’t signing anything without a fight and she has to be strong enough to let him to or he’ll resent her forever.

I really enjoyed reading Second Chance Vow, the author does a good job telling their story in past and present scenes. We get to see them formally meet for the first time and see them face the obstacles that would make them stronger as a couple. Then it would take us back to the present where the characters are facing their pending divorce and we get to see them go through a lot of emotional turmoil. It’s evident that they love each other, but it would take a turn of events to completely change the course of their future. It was truly such an emotional read and the author did a good job bringing us into their world. I loved seeing characters from Alpha CEO makes appearances and the interaction between Kinley and her best friend Jax were really sweet. I can’t say that the ending was unpredictable, but the way it worked out in the story made it that much more enjoyable to read. I would highly recommend checking out Second Chance Vow and I cannot wait to read Jax’s story! :)

{EXCERPT}

Before long, Mom has dinner on the table, and when we’re seated, she says grace. Mom’s always loved going to church on Christmas Eve, but after her big fight with Aunt Flora, she started going every Sunday and doing things like saying grace.

Dad gives me a fully loaded, sideways look that says, “Yeah, your mother still hasn’t talked to your aunt and we still do these things to make it okay in her eyes.” I give him a nod. Does he know what they fought about that Christmas? He took a misdirected punch while he and Ian pulled Mom and her sister apart. That was before Ian became the biggest boob on the planet. Ugh.

“Oh, Lexi, I almost forgot.” Mom draws my attention back to the present. She grabs a box from the kitchen. “I got Christmas crackers.” Ooh. Seems hardly worth it for the three of us, but I do love Christmas crackers. Their gold and silver foil shines as Mom hands one to Dad and me then places one next to her own plate.

I look inside the cracker for the pull tab and grip it firmly then cross my arms, offering the Christmas cracker to Mom on my right and reaching for Dad’s cracker with my right hand.

“Ready?” Mom says. I’m transported back in time as I nod then Mom issues her standard Christmas cracker instructions. “On three. One . . . two . . . three!”

We all pull hard on our crackers against each other and our three little crackers pop and snap while bits of ripped paper scatter across the table. If Mom and Dad had a cat, it would have run for cover.

“Ooh, look,” Mom says. “I got a magnifying glass.” An urge to make a snarky comment about Mom’s eyesight and “how did the Christmas elves know?” pops into my head, but I let it go. I just got here, no need to start a fight just yet.

I check the table for my prize while Dad holds up a giant sparkly paperclip. “Not sure what this is about,” he says.

“It’s a bookmark, dear.” Mom touches Dad’s hand as she says it. She must have splurged on the premium crackers that encourage you to spend more money by showing you on the back of the package what you’ll get.

Something shiny catches my eye on the floor. “Ooh,” I say, leaning over in my chair to pick up my prize. “I got a pen.” I hold it up like it’s some kind of trophy. At least it’s something useful. I place it on the table right next to the fuschia paper crown that also spewed forth from the Christmas cracker.

“Put on your crown.” Mom flutters her hand in my direction. She’s already wearing hers. Dad somehow “accidentally” ripped his, so it won’t stay on his head. Lucky guy. I put on the crown. My cheeks burn a bit, and I feel like I’m ten again—the last year I remember actually liking these silly crowns. I scan the table hoping a bottle of wine has materialized in the last few minutes. Nope.

“Look at me,” I rumble.

“W-why?” she stammers with a sniff.

For this.

The moment our lips meet, it’s like a generator blown to pieces. A hundred thousand watts of raw electricity, hot and fast and furious, so wild with sparks it welds our lips together.

Fuck.

No.

Fuck!

She gasps into my mouth and I groan back a curse. Her lips firm with surprise, then soften, giving way to the sudden attack of my tongue.

I’m no longer in control of my own body.

This kiss has its own rules, its own gravity, its own soul.

I’d be a complete fool to try to stop its energy.

Her lips are too soft. Too warm. Too perfect in every way, shape, form, and whimper.

When my tongue claims hers, soft and wet as a summer strawberry, she molds to my chest, dragging her body against mine.

I can’t separate my hot mouth from hers, even though I know full well I should.

Stumbling back a step is the only thing that saves us.

That’s what she does to me, her and her thieving, glorious lips. She knocks me upside the head and renders me fucking boneless.

I tear myself away violently, just a few inches, both of us staring in wild-eyed shock at each other, fighting to remember how to breathe.

Goddamn. My eyes slide to those ruby-red lips again with a need to bite her.

I can’t. I won’t.

But hell...one more time, maybe.

Just one more taste and then I’ll stop. I’ll pull back from the brink before we face annihilation.

It takes nearly all my willpower to crush my lips against hers, to roam her mouth every way I’ve wanted for years—fucking years—only to shove myself away.

Dammit all. My bright ideas especially.

I’m panting like a wild animal—breathing like I’m in disbelief—and for her, I want to be.

I also want it to happen again, a thousand more times.
