πŸ”– RELEASE BLITZ πŸ”– A Tempting Arrangement by J. Wilder {REVIEW}



A Tempting Arrangement by J. Wilder

Relese Date: April 23, 2024
Pages: 355
Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Tempting Arrangement is a red flag billionaire, marriage of convenience, standalone romance from USA Today bestselling author, J. Wilder

Marry or lose his inheritance? That’s the ultimatum billionaire Damon Everette faces. There’s one problem. The woman he craves is his sunshine PR rep…who wants nothing to do with him.

Ruthless, arrogant, cold-hearted are some of the words I would use to describe my a**hole of a boss, Damon Everett.

That doesn’t stop the goosebumps from rising along my neck every time he says my name, or the way my pulse races when his stormy gray eyes pierce mine.

So, when he coerces me into a fake marriage to uphold his family's tradition, I can't resist pushing his buttons.

He's a walking red flag, and I should run the second this arrangement ends. But the very thought of losing him is suffocating - a dangerous addiction that I can't seem to break.

Is this really love or just a twisted desire to own me? And deep down, do I secretly crave to be possessed by him?

My Review:

Not having read any other books by the author before, I didn’t know what to expect before reading A Tempting Arrangement. Needless to say, J. Wilder delivers a steamy marriage of convenience that had me hooked from beginning to end.

As the CEO of Everette Industries, Damon Everette has the status and wealth to get whatever he desires. Yet, it’s his PR rep for the Boston Bruins that has him losing his wit every time Misty Hart is near. She is everything he wants and Damon has no shame in going after what he wants. He will make Misty his no matter what, even if it means making her his wife. Being the heir to a massive fortune, it’s tradition for the soon-to-be head of the family to be married or lose his inheritance. The only issue is that Misty is not interested in him at all or so she thinks. It soon becomes a cat and a mouse chase where nothing is off limits, not even the hurls coming their way.

From the eye-catching cover to the intriguing synopsis, A Tempting Arrangement was an enjoyable read. The chemistry between Misty and Damon was off the charts from the very beginning. It’s evident that Damon is willing to do whatever it takes to make her his, while at the same time he becomes her biggest protector. After going through a traumatic experience, all Misty wants is to start a fresh life. Little does she know that her life was going to take a different turn, one where her future rests is in the hands of her arrogant boss. 

She disliked him the minute she got the job as a PR rep for a hockey team, but even she can’t deny the instant attraction between them. It’s when Damon offers her a proposition that she can’t deny, that Misty starts to see him in a different light. But just when things were starting to look promising, her past comes to haunt her ready to put a stop at their relationship. Overall, the story was solid romance with a twist. I would highly recommend it, I cannot wait to read what the author comes up with next. :)

My Rating: 4.5/5

πŸ”– REVIEW BLITZ πŸ”– Wright Kind of Love K.A. Linde



Wright Kind of Love  K.A. Linde

Release Date: April 15, 2024
Pages: 225
Genres: Romance, Contemporary

The conclusion to the Wright duet age gap romance from USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde.

Chase Sinclair should be my enemy.

Wrights and Sinclairs don’t mix. Not with years of history and turmoil between our families. A rivalry that only seems to fester and corrode with time.

Except I’m done denying what I want.

We both are.

Just when we think we have it figured out, it all blows up in our faces.

But we’re determined to make this work. Even knowing that the road ahead is uncertain. And everyone wants us to fail. At least we’re doing this together.

Everything is on the line. Our friends, our families, our careers. And we’d give it all up.

He may be from the wrong family, but he’s my Wright person. 



My Review:

Linde concludes the Wright Duet steamier than ever with the Wright Kind of Love. This sizzling romance will leave you wanting for more!

It has been clear from the very beginning that the Wrights and Sinclairs don’t mix. Not after their longstanding feud between two of the most influential families in Lubbock, Texas. But for Harley Wright and Chase Sinclair they are done hiding their feelings for each other. It’s been three years since they first met at a Wright wedding, changing their lives forever. Not only are they part of rival families, but their age gap difference made it impossible for them to fully to be together. Chase gave them until her college graduation in order to give them a shot at a future. Yet, the minute that happens their families immediate express their disapproval. Now it’s up to them to figure out a way to end their family feud, without getting their hearts broken in the process.

I absolutely loved reading Wright King of Love, we get to see both of the main characters stand up against their families in order to be together. While at the same time we get to see their love blossom even more throughout the book. They are standing up for what it’s right, even if means going against those that they love. All in all, I enjoyed their moments together, the ending was perfect and swoon worthy. I cannot wait to see what Linde comes up with next, I would highly recommend checking out the duet as well as the overall series. You will not regret it! :)

⭐ BOOK BLITZ ⭐ The Professor by Skye Warren {EXCERPT + GIVEAWAY!}




The Professor by Skye Warren

Release Date: March 26th 2024
Series: Tanglewood University #1
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

New York Times bestselling author Skye Warren, delivers the sizzling first book in a brand new trilogy, The Professor, a forbidden, student/professor, ex-boyfriend’s dad romance.

One night only with a handsome stranger.
Older. Alluring. Savage. Dominant.
No last names or expectations.
Just raw, carnal, filthy pleasure.

I never thought I would see him again.
Until the first day of class. He’s my new professor.
And my ex-boyfriend’s father.

He has a world of secrets in his eyes and the weight of the world on his shoulders. I should stay away from him, but the more I try, the more consumed he gets.

His possessiveness is rivaled only by his secretive nature. He knows everything about me, but mystery surrounds him. Shadows threaten the entire university…and our forbidden love.




{EXCERPT}

“It’s okay,” he murmurs. “Pretend you don’t want it.”

His kiss is urgent, unyielding. He forces my mouth open, allowing me to feign resistance. Or at the very least, nonchalance. I let him tilt my head back and run his lips down my neck. It’s a terrible game I’m playing, letting him take the fall for our mutual destruction.

I should at least tell him, confess my own desire, even if he already knows.

It would be the honorable thing to do.

“Will—”

“Ah ah,” he says with a slow shake of his head, with a devastating expression of knowing in his dark eyes. “In this office, you will address me as Professor Stratford.”

My secret muscles clench, and he gives me an almost boyish smile.

“This gets you hot, doesn’t it, Ms. Hill?”

How is this possible? I had a heavy course load of classes my freshman year, with professors of every shape and size. They were smart and interesting, and for the most part, at least somewhat arrogant. Professor Stratford is all those things…and more. He’s simply more. More handsome, more mysterious. More playful as he nips at my lower lip.

“I asked you a direct question, Ms. Hill. Don’t make me punish you.”

My eyes widen. It’s not an entirely fake break in my voice. “What kind of punishment?”

“Let’s see,” he says, tugging my T-shirt off, leaving me in my bra. The starkness is enough to make my cheeks burn. He’s fully clothed while I’m shirtless. “For the first offense, I wouldn’t be too harsh. Then again, we can’t have disruptive students, can we?”

I thought his fist in my hair had been perverse.

That holding me up against the window had been a wild form of desire.

This is far worse.

And far better.

At least my body thinks so, becoming hot and clenched, swollen around nothing, hungry to have him inside me again, thrusting and thrusting the ache away.

“I tried to behave,” I tell him, surrendering to the game. Surrendering to him. “I tried to be a good student. It’s just that you were so…distracting.”

That earns me a dark chuckle. Large, strong hands undress me with calm expediency, as if stacking books or finding the right page. With both care and anticipation.

At this moment I’m the worn pages of an old copy of Romeo and Juliet.

He thumbs through my pages.

“You’d blame your professor for your own lack of focus?”

I gasp at his touch, low and intimate. It’s too much, and I scoot back to get away from him. That only lands me on the edge of his desk, smooth wood cool beneath my bare ass. “Maybe I can make it up to you?”

“Extra credit,” he says, musing. “Perhaps an oral report would suffice.”

πŸ”– REVIEW πŸ”– Roman by Melanie Moreland



Roman by Melanie Moreland

Release Date: March 6, 2024
Pages: 382
Genres: Romance, Contemporary

I rescued her because I had to. I fell in love with her because she gave me no choice.

Roman Costas

Powerful. Intensely private.
Cold. Dangerous.
When he unwittingly puts an innocent woman in danger, he does something he never planned.
Becomes involved.
He didn’t anticipate the feelings Effie Warner brought out in him.
He didn’t expect the woman he rescued to become his world.
All he knows is that he’ll burn down the city to keep her safe.
No matter the consequences.

The suspenseful finale in Men of the Falls duet by New York Times Bestselling author Melanie Moreland.



My Review:

Moreland has outdone herself with her latest release, Roman, the second book in the Men of the Falls Duet. This swoon worthy and suspenseful romance will pull at your heartstrings and never let go.

As a successful entrepreneur, Roman Costas, takes pride of what he’s been able to achieve with the help of his younger brother. Although he might be perceived as cold, dangerous and private. Roman has grown up in a world of organized crime and knows the dangers that come with running that side of the family business. It’s his legitimate casino business that Roman overseas has made him a wealthy man and there is a part of him that wonders what it would be like to walk away from the family legacy. That is until he unknowingly puts an innocent woman in danger that has him ready to burn the whole city down in order to protect her. Roman never intended to connect with Effie, she is kind and the completely opposite of him. Yet, the more he gets to know her, the harder it becomes to let her go.

Effie Warner never expected to be caught in the middle of Roman’s world. Now her life is in danger and has no where else to go. It’s when her business gets threatened, that she has no choice but to turn to Roman. For someone who is feared in his world, he is nothing but attentive towards her. He vows to protect no matter what, something she is not sued to feeling. After all, it was someone closer to her that put her in the danger she is in.

I absolutely loved reading Roman, it explosive conclusion to the duet just keeps getting better! If you love an overly protective hero with a twist, then this is the book for you. Both of the characters have backstories that had me hooked from the very beginning and we get to see them develop in the story. While Effie might not have the best relationship with her sister, Roman has been able to keep his relationship stronger with his brother even after going through a lot growing up. It’s their pasts that have shaped their present and future as well. It’s up to them to rely on each other if they want a shot a real relationship. All in all, the ending was perfect, I would highly recommend checking out this book. I cannot wait to read what Moreland comes up with next. :)

πŸ”– REVIEW BLITZ πŸ”– Just One More Moment by Carly Phillips



Just One More Moment by Carly Phillips

Release Date: March 12, 2024
Pages: 204
Genres: Romance, Contemporary

She thinks happily ever after only happens in romance novels.
He can’t wait to prove her wrong…


Falling in love is not on Raven Walsh’s agenda. Running from her past keeps her way too busy for that. She can, however, handle a friends-with-benefits scenario with the hot billionaire who co-owns The Back Door bar. But trusting him with her heart? Not a chance…

Remington Sterling has had his eye on the smart and sexy Raven since she started waitressing at his bar. He knows she’s gun-shy where relationships are concerned. But he’s ready to do whatever it takes to convince her he’s worth the risk…

When Raven’s secrets catch up to her in a big way, she must decide if the potential cost of trusting Remy is more than she’s willing to pay—and Remy will need to figure out how far he’s willing to go for love…

Just One More Moment, book 1 in the Sterling Family series (all can be read as standalones), is a spicy contemporary romance featuring a ready-to-run heroine and the possessive, protective alpha hero who is more than ready to catch her. 




My Review:

Phillips delivers a great start to The Sterling Family Series in Just One More Moment. This second chances and new beginnings romance will leave you rooting for the characters until the end!

For Raven Walsh, attending the glamorous wedding of her boss/friend Zach Dare, reminds her of the life she used to have. A life she’s been trying so desperately to get away from for a while. Though she doesn’t miss the luxury of her upbringing, it has lead her to live a normal and modest life. As Raven takes on more responsibility as the manager of The Back Door bar, she has immediate access to her boss/co-owner of the bar, Remy Sterling. Even though they are friends, Remy enjoys flirting with her, leaving Raven to wonder if they could ever have something else. But there is the fear of what could happen if those around her get hurt because of her past. Leaving Raven to build walls around her in order to protect her heart. It’s until said past comes back to haunt her that she will have to rely on Remy more than ever.

As a former detective and current private investigator, Remington “Remy” Sterling has helped uncovered many cases throughout his career. But Raven Walsh has proven to be a mystery he can’t seem to solve. Being co-owner of The Back Door bar, Remy spends a lot of time running the business alongside his manager, Raven. Their instant connection is magnetic and it is easy to be around her. Yet, it’s his attraction towards her that has made it difficult to get Raven out of his head. He knows that she isn’t ready for more than she can give him, so when the lines are crossed, a mutual friends-with-benefits arrangement is in place. Until her past comes knocking, putting Raven in danger that Remy vows to keep her safe no matter what, including her heart.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Just One More Moment, this steamy and suspenseful romance will keep you at the edge of your seat. Remy is ready to use what he’s experienced in his career in order to protect the woman he is falling in love with. After all, going through a similar loss himself has made him even more protective of her. Raven is not about to let her past hurt her loved ones, even if it means sacrificing her growing feelings for Remy. In the end, they both will have to rely on each other if they want to have a chance at a real relationship. Told in dual POV, expect the unexpected and an ending worth for their story. I would highly recommend it and I cannot wait to read the next books in the series! :)

πŸ”– REVIEW BLITZ πŸ”– Meant for Stone by Natasha Madison



Meant for Stone by Natasha Madison

Release Date: February 26, 2024
Series: Meant For
Pages: 373
Genres: Sports, Romance, Contemporary

From Wall Street Journal and USA TODAY bestselling author Natasha Madison comes a brand new sports romance. A spin-off from the Hollywood Playboy & This Is Crazy.

Ryleigh

Growing up in Hollywood, I was surrounded by liars and phonies.
So when I got my law degree, I knew I wanted to work as a district attorney.
Busy days turned to long nights—I was on my way up the ladder.
Then he happened.
Bullied his way into my life as if there was no choice.
Suddenly everything I thought I wanted wasn’t as important.

Stone

I had one thing on my mind and that was never going to change: The game.
The only goal I had was beating the records set by my family.
I didn’t have time for anything else.
Until she walked in the room.
The earth shifted, just like the stories said it would.
I said it wouldn’t happen—not to me.
I didn’t have the time, but now she was the only thing on my mind.
I knew it was her.
Now I had to convince her. 




My Review:

Madison’s newest spin-off brings us Meant for Stone, the first book in the Meant For Series. Be ready to fall in love with this romance between a hockey player and a district attorney that will leave you wanting for more!

Having grown up among hockey legends makes Stone Richards want to make his own mark in the sport. He has no time to focus on other things, until he meets Ryleigh Beckett. With her brother marrying into his family, Stone knows that if things go south it would only cause chaos within the family. But her no non-sense and feisty personality is what keeps pulling her in his head. She is all Stone can think about and he is willing to do anything in order to convince her to give them a shot. Little does he know how difficult maintaining a long distance relationship with their busy schedules is going to be. Love is said to conquer it all, but will for them?

For Ryleigh Beckett being the daughter of a famous actor and growing up in Hollywood, she is aware of what it means to be in the spotlight. So when she got her law degree and made the move to Chicago to become a district attorney, it gave her the chance to start a new life. Being close to her family also means that Ryleigh gets to spend a lot of time at Hollywood events. Events that guys used her to attend, so with her walls build up, she decided to focus on her career and nothing else, not expecting to meet Stone Richards. He is nothing she’s ever encounter, he doesn’t give up easily, kind and set on making her his. Making her wonder what their relationship could be like if she’d only let her walls down.

I absolutely loved reading Meant for Stone, I loved the characters dynamic from the beginning and it only got better throughout the book. There are a lot of steamy moments and swoon-worthy ones too. Stone is a go-getter, determined to go after what he wants. On the other hand, Ryleigh is bold and outspoken, perfect for a district attorney. She is the best at what she does and work has become her life. But when life brings them together, they have to learn to compromise in order to give them a shot at a relationship. All in all, I would highly recommend checking out this book. With the way the book ended, I cannot wait to read what happens next in the series! :)

When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals.

It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…

πŸ”– REVIEW BLITZ πŸ”– Wright Kind of Trouble K.A. Linde



Wright Kind of Trouble  K.A. Linde

Release Date: February 26, 2024
Pages: 350
Genres: Romance, Contemporary

An age gap, enemy’s little sister romance set in the Wright world about Harley Wright & Chase Sinclair from USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde.

He didn’t know I was ten years younger.
I didn’t know he was a Sinclair.

He didn’t care that I was a Wright.
I knew exactly what I wanted.

Yet, I know none of this when I fall into his bed.

Touching him is like finally waking after a long sleep and the thought of being without him is like driving a knife through my chest. But it's worse—he was almost engaged to my brother's wife—which makes him public enemy number one.

Our families hate each other.
No one can know what we did.
If any of my four older brothers find out, they will run him out of town.

And still…I want him. 




My Review:

As the seventh book in the Wright Vineyard Series, Wright Kind of Trouble, is about a blossoming forbidden romance between two members of rival families that are ready to challenge the rivalry in order to be together. Linde’s newest duet will leave you rooting for the characters until the very end!

Harley Wright’s life has been nothing if not complicated ever since finding out a twisted family secret that her dad hid from them growing up. It’s her along with her other siblings that were their dad’s dirty little secret as he hid them from his real family. So the anger and resentment towards him runs deep. Relocating to Lubbock, Texas from Seattle, Washington has made a difference in her life. Harley can finally spend some time with her extended family. The Wrights are royalty in town and she is about to attend Texas Tech University in hopes to get into a good law school. But life changes the course of her life the minute she meets Chase Sinclair. He is everything she wants, but can’t have. For he belongs to the enemy family her own family hates. Yet, there is a pull towards him that she can’t deny and no matter how much distance they put between them, she can’t help but to fall in love with him.

Chase Sinclair has everything he could ever want, he has a prominent law firm and his name is well-known in town. But his relationship with his dad and the family rivalry between the Wrights is not the best. Not when his best friend and ex-girlfriend is about to marry into that family. He has never been more hated and his presence along is not wanted in the Wright’s circles. Chase should have declined attending the wedding, but not only does it bring him closure, it also gives him a chance to meet Harley. She is different and they clicked right away. Chase knows that he should walk away from her, he can’t get his heart broken again. Yet, the longer they are together, the harder it becomes to let her go.

I throughly enjoyed reading Wright Kind of Trouble, we have two characters who are in different stages in their lives, but they have such undeniable chemistry. Harley understands Chase and he finds her refreshing to be around. They know the chaos that it would cause if their families were to find out that are together, not only is he part of the enemy family, but also ten years older than her. But just as they are ready to show off their relationship, life throws them another curveball that will test their relationship once again. I cannot wait to read what happens next in the duet, would highly recommend checking out this book as well as any other from the author. You will not regret it! :)

πŸ”– REVIEW BLITZ πŸ”– Come Here and Kiss Me M. Robinson and Willow Winters



Come Here and Kiss Me  M. Robinson and Willow Winters

Release Date: February 11, 2024
Pages: 216
Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Expensive.

Powerful.

And entirely fucked up.

That sums up the pretentious - but elite - circle I grew up in. As much as I hate it, this life has its perks. If I want it, it’s mine. It’s as simple as that.

Until she showed up; she’s a tempting little vixen I’m not allowed to have.

One intense night changed it all between us, threatening to shatter everything we know.

She came up with a lie. I came up with a cover. Because the truth is…

I can’t keep my hands off her and one night would never be enough.




My Review:

From the eye-catching cover to the intriguing synopsis, Robison and Winters deliver a steamy enemies-to-lovers romance in Come Here and Kiss Me. Filled with secrets and betrayal to keep you hooked from beginning to end.

Having grown up among the wealthy elite, Ronan Wolf, is used to getting what he wants. Until he first laid eyes on Brooklyn Chambers, that his life starts to take a different turn. Not only is Ronan a professor, but Brooklyn also happens to be a student at the university he teaches. Though their relationship goes way back as their two families have had a feud with one another for many years. It only took one night together to threaten Ronan's career and for the feud to start unraveling before their eyes. But as he slowly begins to trust in Brooklyn, the harder it becomes to let her go. He has to make the tough decision in order to keep her safe no matter the cost. Brooklyn has always been attracted to Ronan, he is an enigma that keeps pulling her in. She is aware of how their relationship will be frowned upon by everyone around them and Brooklyn is ready to stand up for herself, no matter the consequences. She slowly begins to trust in the only person who has stood up for her and realizes that she could end up getting her heart broken in the end.

I really enjoyed reading Come Here and Kiss me, the characters were raw and their relationship was magnetic. It’s evident of how much they like each other from the very beginning, then they are forced to face their pasts and those around them. They don’t quite trust each other and it takes them time to slowly rely on one another. Ronan becomes protective over Brooklyn while she starts to feel free around him. There are obstacles that they need to face and they are able to overcome them in the end. All in all, the story was solid and I would recommend checking it out if you like the enemies-to-lovers trope. :)

Meet Willow Winters:

I started writing after having my little girl, Evie, December of 2015. All during my pregnancy with her I read. I only wanted to read romance novels and I read everything I could get my hands on. I would read a book a day — sometimes two. In January I was staying up late with her and just thinking of all these stories. They came to me constantly. I finally sat down and just started writing. I always wanted to do it so I figured, why not?

I never thought I would reach this point of success to be honest. It’s insane to me that I have connected with so many readers.

And I love each and every one of them for all of their support. I’ll be honest, some days are HARD. I have my littles during the day and I write at night. Some days are just simply exhausting and then I hear from a reader and it motivates me to push through and keep writing. I couldn’t be more grateful for this wonderful career.

My Review:

Aldo, Moreland’s newest release in the Men of the Fall’s duet is a steamy and thrilling romance that will leave you rooting for the characters until the very end!

As Roman Costas’s best friend and right hand, Aldo Ricci has witnessed the depths of the underworld in Niagara Falls. With Roman at the head, there are threats everywhere and Aldo has become his security, swearing to protect him no matter what. While business is booming at The Maple, a hotel and casino, their loves lives not so much. With the dangers that come with their jobs, it’s easy not to get attached. At least that’s what Aldo thought, until he met Violet Nelson.

Applying for the over-the-top casino/hotel was a gamble for Violet, especially after the recent turn of events in her life. With the hopes of starting new, she set off to Niagara Falls, not expecting for her life to completely change forever. Meeting the enigmatic Aldo takes her by surprise, he shows her a different side of him that not everyone gets to see. Not only is he is the enforcer and loyal friend to Roman, but also sweet and caring towards her. Their connection is undeniable, until a turn of events threatens their chance at a relationship.

I absolutely loved reading Aldo, the story had me hooked and very much at the edge of my seat. Aldo has officially met his match, Violet is feisty and ready to fight back. It’s evident that both of the characters have been through a lot, but they are willing to do whatever it takes to be with each other. The secondary characters made the story that much more enjoyable to read. It’s really shows how tight Aldo is with Roman and his brother, Luca. The ending was perfect for them, I cannot wait to read Roman’s story next. I would highly recommend checking out this book as well as any others by the author! :)

The best way to save my little shop? Marry my fake fiancΓ© for real...

When a sexy single dad walks into my shop and buys every box of chocolate just to ask me out, I say yes. By the end of a smoldering night, I’m saying oh yes.

And in the morning I’m saying yes, yes, yes to an idea that can save both our businesses so long as Gage and I pretend to be engaged and wildly in love. But since my messy life is riding on this new venture, we agree that our one night was our only night.

Except, all our fake kisses quickly melt my resolve. Gage says he has no room in his life for romance, but he touches me like he can’t get enough. Tells me he can’t resist me. And gets down on one knee in the most romantic fake proposal ever.

But when my vindictive corporate rival threatens to expose the lie of us, my protective fiancΓ© steps up and declares I’m his wife.

Looks like I just walked into a marriage of convenience.

At the end of the year, I’ll walk out of it…as long as I don’t fall for my husband.
