The Upside To Being Single Tour Stop with ARC Review!

       


If anyone asks, I knew better than to flash my boobs for Mardi Gras beads.

I still don’t know why I did it. Maybe it was the dare from my two best friends. Maybe it was the guys on the balcony saying they’d throw Fireball shots with the beads. Or maybe it was the quiet guy in the corner of that same balcony with piercing gray eyes, wavy dark hair, and a smile so tempting I wanted to climb up there and lick it off his face. Maybe it was because I never thought I’d see them again. Not that it matters. Not today. Because the hotel I manage was finally bought—and the guy who walks in and introduces himself as my new boss is Mr. Tall, Dark, and Silent. There are many upsides to being single. Your new boss knowing what your boobs look like? Not one of them.    

MY REVIEW:

I FLLLLLLLLOVED The Upside To Being Single by Emma Hart! Hilarious, fun, sassy, sexy with a fun, feisty, a bit of a klutz heroine and a gorgeous, charming, beyond irresistible hero, this book was alluring, and a  so entertaining and delightful romcom, I did not want this book to end! 

The moment I started the story I was absorbed in it and completely lost track of the time. The storyline is too freaking cute and I totally can see this as a movie. This romance made me laugh so hard at times, I had tears running down my face, and the intoxicating chemistry between Jacob and Mellie had a spark and zap to it that I really freaking enjoyed watching unfold  as they finally gave in to temptation and went all in. I SOOOOOOO can't wait to read this book again!

The Upside To Being Single gets a HEARTY AND HILARIOUS FIVE SHOOTING STARS!

 Chloe grimaced, turning around to face me. “Does he show up randomly at your house?” I jumped out of my chair. “Shut up! No!” She pointed at the door. “There’s a hot guy who just pulled up in an Audi unexpectedly with dark hair, who wears a white shirt the way hookers wear thongs, and has an ass like a giant, ripe peach.” Three loud knocks sounded at my door. “Oh God!” I moaned, clutching at my stomach. “I have to hide. Can you stall him?” Peyton grinned. A shit-eating warning grin. “Actually, no, never mind,” I whispered harshly. “Peyton, you go out the back, I’ll hide, and Chloe can get rid of him!” Peyt shook her head. “Not a chance. Who is it?” she added, shouting the last three words. I clapped my hands over my mouth. Not only was this not a good time because I was still freaking out over the kissing, but we’d not long finished a yoga DVD and I was still sweaty and gross. Not to mention I was pretty sure I’d pulled a muscle. And the powder. I was covered in donut sugar, okay? “Uh… It’s Jake,” came the reply through the door. Peyt waggled her eyebrows. “Jake, eh?” I glared at her then stuck my middle finger up in her direction. “I hate you.” The door hinges creaked, and the next thing I knew, Chloe was standing in the door frame. “Hi!” she said in an upbeat tone. “I’m Chloe.” She shoved her hand at him. “Jake,” he replied slowly, taking her hand. “Is Mellie here?” “She’s here, but she might be hiding.” Peyton burst out laughing. My cheeks flamed red, and I stormed across the room and tugged her away from the door. “Hi. Excuse her. She didn’t take her meds this morning,” I said. Chloe poked my cheek. “Hello, Mommy. Did you bring me my cookies?” Peyton, still laughing, stood up. “Okay, Chlo, drop it. Let’s go. We have work to do.” I spun around as she slipped her laptop into her purse. “And you need to leave to do that? You literally just showed us a penis photo.” “Your house doesn’t have the right Feng Shui.” “You’ve never looked up Feng Shui!” She pointed a finger in my direction. “You don’t know my life!” Jake blinked between the three of us. Chloe grabbed hold of her purse and then Peyton’s arm. “We’re going. Call us later, okay?” Jake moved out of the way while Chloe dragged Peyton out of my house. “And don’t forget to put your foot down on the kissing thing!” Peyton shouted, eyes sparkling. The last I saw of her was a large, mischievous grin right before Jake shoved the door shut on her.

Look The Part Blog Tour Stop with ARC Review!

LookThePart-SBPRBanner-BT.jpg

“Look The Part is my new top favorite from the inimitable Jewel E. Ann. Delightfully quirky, funny but deeply emotional, Look The Part was pitch perfect. I loved everything about this five-star read!” - USA Today bestseller Ella James

Look the Part, an all-new “emotional and breathtaking” standalone from

Jewel E. Ann is available NOW!

LookThePart Full

Synopsis
Flint Hopkins finds the perfect tenant to rent the space above his Minneapolis-based law office.
All the T’s are crossed and I’s dotted on Ellen’s application. Her references are good. And she’s easy on the eyes.
Until …
Flint discovers Ellen Rodgers, Board-Certified Music Therapist, plays music. Bongos, guitars, singing—not Beethoven administered through noise-cancelling headphones.
The cut-throat attorney serves up an eviction notice to the bubbly, constantly-humming redhead who's too sexy for her own good. But luck is on Ellen’s side when Flint’s autistic son, Harrison, takes an instant liking to her. A single dad can’t compete with guitars—and rats. Yes, she has pet rats.
This woman …
She’s annoyingly happy with a constant need to touch him—adjust his tie, button his shirt, invade his space, and mess with his mind.
Still …
She must go.
Their lust-hate relationship escalates into something beautiful and tragic. This sexy, romantic-comedy explores the things we want, the things we need, and the impossible decisions parents and children make to survive.

MY REVIEW:

I fell in hard core, I-never-felt-this-way-before LOVE with this book! I smiled so much through this book it felt like it froze like that at times. The banter had me giggling and the push and pull between Flint and Ellen was powerful, all consuming, and electric!

The plot and storyline felt realistic, believable, and so incredibly beautiful. This romantic comedy was so much fun with some undercurrents of seriousness and heartbreak that really reached inside my chest and squeezed my heart. I can not in any way, shape, or form describe how much I enjoyed this book. I laughed out loud at times that I swear I thought I was going to pee myself. And the moments of heart break felt so real. I was amazed with this story...just AMAZED! It felt unique and special. I can see myself rereading this in less than a week just to get all the feels again. Look The Part is unforgettable and precious. I think I may have a girl crush now on Jewel E Ann!

Look The Part gets exactly what it deserves and that is a MIND BLOWING FIVE SHOOTING STARS! I could use MANY more romantic comedies just like this one. 

Excerpt:

There’s something thrilling, even a little forbidden, about a man in a perfectly-tailored suit. Flint Hopkins wears the hell out of a three-piece suit. Not a single wrinkle. Not a hair out of place. Not a scuff mark on his shiny shoes. His lips move, but all I hear is “I wore this suit for you today” as his hands make their rounds: caressing the buttons on his jacket, twisting his cufflinks, and adjusting his tie. It’s sophisticated fidgeting. “You said you’re a therapist, not a music teacher.” Observant men are sexy too. “I did. And I am. Specifically, I’m a music therapist. Do you want me to explain what a music therapist does?” “No. I just want you to look for a different space to rent. I’ll give you two weeks.” He turns and makes it out the door in three long strides. My toes are on his heels in seconds, chasing him down the stairs. “Wait? You’re evicting me?” “I’m giving you notice.” “Notice? You’re kicking me out for what? Doing my job?” “Preventing me from doing mine.” He pushes through the door at the bottom of the stairs and makes a sharp right. “Hey, Boss, how’d it—” Amanda’s gaze moves from Flint to me as I follow him into his office. “Hi, Amanda. Would you happen to have the name of a good real estate attorney? I may need to sue my landlord for wrongful eviction.” “Um …” Flint turns, halting my forward momentum a second shy of slamming into his chest. “Shut my door, Amanda.” His eyes narrow. I don’t care how hot this guy looks in a suit. I won’t recoil under his glower. “Please leave it open, Amanda. I may need you to be my witness.” Arrogance tugs at his mouth. “A witness?” “For when you threaten me.” He unbuttons his jacket and takes a step back. A whoosh of oxygen leaves my chest like it’s attached to him. The man has an air of confidence and mystery about him that commands attention. When he turned around to face me a few seconds ago, I sensed the slightest agitation in his narrowed eyes and flared nostrils, but not anymore. It’s not hard to imagine Flint Hopkins in a courtroom—cool, calculated, ruthless. “You seem to be an intelligent person, so surely you can see how the noise level of your profession could distract me from doing mine. I think sharing space with other businesses is not a good idea. You need a building of your own or maybe you should work out of your house.” “I live in an apartment. And I’m sorry, Mr. Money Bags, but I don’t have the cash flow to buy or rent a building all to myself. You’re an attorney. How often are you even in your office? And when you are, what are you doing that requires complete silence? Charming snakes? Narrating audio books?”

Living Out Loud Release Blitz with ARC Review!


LIVING OUT LOUD, the next in Staci Hart's Austen Series, is LIVE! I adored this modern love story inspired by Jane Austen's Sense & Sensibility. Everything about this book had me smiling and swooning! Hart takes us back to the world of Wasted Words and gives us a love story you will not soon forget!

 

Living Out Loud Staci Hart
Publication Date: February 1, 2018
Cover Photo: Perrywinkle Photography 
Cover Design: QuirkyBird Designs

 

  When Annie Daschle arrives in New York City, the only thing she can control is her list. Not her father’s death or the loss of her home. Not the hole in her heart or the defective valve that’s dictated so much of her life. But she can put pen to paper to make a list of all the ways she can live out loud, just like her dad would have wanted. See the city from the top of the Empire State Building: Check. Eat hot dogs on the steps of The Met: Check. Stand in the middle of Times Square: Check. Get a job at Wasted Words: Check. Two things not on her list: Greg Brandon and Will Bailey. And just like that, she finds herself caught in the middle of something she can’t find her way out of, with no clear answers and no rules. List or no list, she realizes she can’t control anything at all, not even her heart. Not the decisions it makes, and not the moment it stops. *Standalone contemporary romance Inspired by Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility.*

MY REVIEW:

What a powerfully heartfelt romance! This book was brilliant with realistic characters and a sensational storyline. This is a romance that can leave you smiling and make you sniffle and bring hope, fear, joy and EVERY emotion in between. I haven't read a story like this in a long time and to read Living Out Loud by Staci Hart put me in a book funk after I got done reading and I felt lost and wanted to just dive back into it. 

I always find it awe inspiring when I read a book that can make you feel alive AND make you treasure every moment. And Living Out Loud I got all that and MORE! It made me realize how fragile life is and made me feel like living my life to the fullest and I find that I can't beat that feeling at all. I am impressed with everything Annie went through and how she looks at life after and I think she is one of my favorite heroines of ALL TIME! Innocent, bold, brave, caring, and smart, I felt like she deserved the world AND more. This book is just AMAZING all around and I hope others love it just as much.

I give Living Out Loud a BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN FIVE SHOOTING STARS!

More Than Love Excerpt Reveal!

2018-SBPRBANNER-MTLY-ER.jpg

More Than Love You, an all-new sexy romance from New York Times and USA Today bestselling Shayla Black is coming February 13th!

03 MoreThanLoveYou.jpg

I’m Noah Weston. For a decade, I’ve quarterbacked America’s most iconic football team and plowed my way through women. Now I’m transitioning from star player to retired jock—with a cloud of allegation hanging over my head. So I’m escaping to the private ocean-front paradise I bought for peace and quiet. What I get instead is stubborn, snarky, wild, lights-my-blood-on-fire Harlow Reed. Since she just left a relationship in a hugely viral way, she should be the last woman I’m seen with.
On second thought, we can help each other…
I need a steady, supportive “girlfriend” for the court of public opinion, not entanglements. Harlow is merely looking for nonstop sweaty sex and screaming orgasms that wring pleasure from her oh-so-luscious body. Three months—that’s how long it should take for us both to scratch this itch and leave our respective scandals behind. But the more I know this woman, the less I can picture my life without her. And when I’m forced to choose, I’ll realize I don’t merely want her in my bed or need her for a ruse. I more than love her enough to do whatever it takes to make her mine for good.
More Than Love You is a sexy and emotional standalone novel in the More Than Words Series.

Excerpt:

“Noah?” At the sounds of splashing, I turn to find Harlow emerging from the pool, walking up one step at a time, dripping, swaying with every step, and completely blowing my mind. Her long hair clings to her pretty breasts, flirting with her plump nipples. Her waist dips in, then flares out to a pair of hips I want my hands on. She’s sleek and sexy and stunning. I can’t find words for an entirely different reason than before. She leaves me speechless. “Can you hand me a towel from over there?” She points to the patio table. On autopilot, I back toward the surface, never taking my eyes off her. When I bump into the glass, I grope behind me until terry cloth fills my hand. Then I race toward Harlow. “Need anything else?” She takes the towel from me, and we’re standing so close I can smell her scent mixed with a tinge of chlorine. “A shower. Then an orgasm or two, preferably that you give me.” Did I hear her right? “You sure?” Harlow nods, her gaze tangling with mine. “I want to fuck.” It takes a split second for her declaration to sink in. I was convinced she wouldn’t want me after she figured out I’m just a man with flaws. Then again, she was never looking to get laid from someone ESPN hailed as a football god. She just wants pleasure. The way she holds my gaze singes me with heat. It sizzles across my skin, burning the flesh under my surface. I can’t quite breathe. I have a feeling she’s going to be trouble—and I don’t care. “Let’s do it.” Taking the towel from her grip, I jerk it until it unfolds, then wrap it around her back, covering the dripping ends of her hair. Then I tug her against me. Her skin feels cool pressed to my overheated chest. I don’t dare kiss her now. The way I want her, I’ll lay her out on the first available surface, and I’d rather save my knees the agony of looking for the leverage to fuck her properly on a chaise lounge. Digging for restraint, I drag in a rough breath. If I’m already having trouble resisting her, how bad will the craving be once I’ve had a taste? I shove the thought aside. “I won’t go easy on you.” “I never thought you would.” “I won’t be gentle.” “Good. I may be small, but I’m not fragile.” “I won’t be quick. Expect me to be at you all night.” A sly smile curls up the sides of her lips that turns me on even more. “I’ll hold you to that.” I run out of ways to warn her that I intend to turn her inside out and wring her dry before I let her leave my bed. But fuck it, I’ll let my body do the talking. Bending, I lift her to my chest. She’s a tiny thing. Given her boobs and hips, I thought she would be heavier to carry, but I’ve curled barbells that weigh more. “Then let’s go.” Her smile becomes a grin as she wraps her arms around my neck. “Consider me happily along for the ride.”

The Beau & The Belle Release Blitz!

THE BEAU & THE BELLE by R.S. Grey is available now! Don't miss your hands on this new romantic comedy - read for free with Kindle Unlimited or grab it for just $2.99!

 

About THE BEAU & THE BELLE

Beau Fortier starred in most of my cringe-worthy teenage fantasies.
I met him when I was a junior in high school, a time that revolved exclusively around bad hair, failed forays into flirting, and scientific inquiries into which brand of toilet paper worked best for stuffing bras.
That is, until Beau moved into the small guest house just beyond my bedroom window.
A 24-year-old law student at Tulane, Beau was as mysterious to me as second base (both in baseball and in the bedroom). He was older. Intimidating. Hot. Boys my age had chicken legs and chubby cheeks. Beau had calloused hands and a jaw cut from steel. Our interactions were scarce—mostly involving slight stalking on my end—and yet deep down, I desperately hoped he saw me as more of a potential lover than a lovesick loser.
Turns out, I was fooling myself. My fragile ego learned that lesson the hard way.
Now, ten years later, we’re both back in New Orleans, and guess who suddenly can’t take his eyes off little ol’ me.
My old friend, Mr. Fortier.
But things have changed. I’m older now—poised and confident. My ego wears a bulletproof vest. The butterflies that once filled my stomach have all perished.
When I was a teenager, Beau warned me to guard my heart.
Let’s hope he knows how to guard his.

Blurb
He promises he'll have me on my knees in three days.
When I found out my friend is getting married, I was happy for her. But I had no idea who she was marrying.
Apparently he's a Dom. So are all of his friends. I'm learning a LOT about her lifestyle, now that I'm in the middle of her wedding.
That's how I met him.
He's calm and cold and hotter than hell. He also thinks he knows everything about women.
Thanks to a little liquid courage, I give him a piece of my mind.
I tell him not every girl wants to be conquered by an alpha male – especially one who thinks too highly of his own skills in bed.
He offers me a bet. If he can get me to do whatever he says, after just three days with him, then I'll have to spend a month as his “good girl” submissive. If he can't, he gives me $100,000.
It's a stupid bet, but it's win-win for me. I get to prove him wrong and walk away with 100 grand? Sign me up.
But I don't know what I'm walking into.
I don't know what he's capable of.
I don't know how easy it'll be for him to get me on my knees... begging him to just do whatever he wants.
Telling him that I'm a good girl.
And screaming the word yes, yes, yes!

This is a standalone FULL LENGTH NOVEL with a HEA and NO cheating!
Penny Wylder writes just that-- wild romances. Happily Ever Afters are always better when they're a little dirty, so if you're looking for a page turner that will make you feel naughty in all the right places, jump right in and leave your panties at the door!

MY REVIEW:

A SEXILICIOUS, SEDUCTIVE, PANTY-MELTING ROMANCE THAT TOOK MY VERY BREATH AWAY AND LEFT ME PANTING AND SAYING GIVE ME MORE! 

Good Girls Say Yes I think teaches newbies a bit about what BDSM can be about. I fell in love with the characters and the scenes...HOLY CRAP WERE THEY HOT AND SINFUL! I found myself putting the book down and fanning myself, desperately trying to cool off because it was hotter than sin. And the way the story is told really made it irresistible. I am in awe of Penny Wylder and I may now be addicted to her style of writing and her incredible books. I can now officially add her to my list of MUST READ BDSM romance authors. If you like stories from Cherise Sinclair or Lexi Blake, you will LOVE Good Girls Say Yes! 

I give this a GLORIOUSLY SEDUCTIVE FIVE SHOOTING STARS! 

             

EXCERPT
“Hands above your head.” His tone doesn’t leave any room for argument, and I raise my hands. Matthew catches them, crossing them at the wrists and holding them captive in one hand. He’s strong—I might as well be wearing handcuffs for all that I’d be able to pull away from him, and my heart beats a little bit faster at the thought. He said to say ‘Red’ if I’m uncomfortable, but I’m not yet, even if my body instinctually recognizes danger.
“If we had more than fifteen minutes,” he says softly, “there are lots of things that I could do to show you what this life is about. But right now, it’s simple. Submission isn’t about me holding you down for sex, or about you becoming a doormat. It’s about trust, and offering something to one another. At the most basic level, you offer me power over you in exchange for pleasure, and I offer you freedom from having to make every decision.”
The most basic level, he said. What are the other levels? But now he’s kissing me and I can’t think because I’m once again on fire. Hot arousal rolls through me like a wave, and I moan, unable to help myself. Matthew simply chuckles against my lips and deepens the kiss, as if he knew that I would react this way.
I want more of him. More, more, more is the chant in my brain, and I try to move, to pull him closer, but I can’t. Shock and frustration hit me as I remember that I can’t move my arms. He has them pinned against the wall and all I can do is let him kiss me. My breath goes short in my chest, and I realize that he’s made me wet again. Damn him for being such a good kisser, because that’s all it is. I’m turned on from the kiss, and not from the fact that he’s restricting my movement.
He pulls away for a moment. “Spread your legs.”
I do.
“Farther.”

Through Th Woods Release Blitz with ARC Review!







Also available via Kindle Unlimited







Forced to run from her drug-dealing boyfriend, Neve ends up injured and alone in the middle of the Colorado wilderness. She never planned on being rescued by seven bikers and brought to their clubhouse. While the other bikers welcome a female presence, their leader, Charm, is not impressed. As Neve recuperates, she begins to see that there's much more to this club president than she thought possible. However, while she might've run, she can't stay hidden forever.



MY REVIEW:

I thought I knew what I was getting into when I started Through The Woods, but honestly, this book threw me a hell of a curveball! Intense, full of angst, bad-ass bikers with surprising amount of caring and compassion and a slightly more twisted version of Snow White the fairy tale, I was utterly floored by this read. I am not sure if this is a bit of a dark romance or a harder core version of romantic suspense. I mean WOW! This was so intense! We have bikers and a woman who is coming off of drug use and secrets that seem to draw the angst and drama out and made me feel like I was standing over a cliff, heart pounding madly in my chest, and filled with exhilaration. It was all consuming and powerful and I LOVED IT!

Even though we get lots of angst, we also get plenty of heat filled moments too. Ones that had me crushing on the club president himself, even when he was a bit surly. And when shit hits the fan, things got down and dirty and scary and it was just as mesmerizing as everything else about this book. I am kind of insane about this new series of Miss Myers and I already am anticipating the next book in her new Fairest series. 

I give Through The Woods a THRILLING BEYOND BELIEF FIVE SHOOTING STARS! If you think you know bikers and their ways...you ain't seen nothing yet!


My eyes fluttered open to piercing red and blue lights flashing all around me. Men’s voices carried from nearby as they yelled to each other, amid sirens screaming in the distance.
I had no idea where I was.
“Miss? Can you hear me?” A yellow man asked, as he knelt next to me, concern marring his features. I was disoriented—exhaustion threatening to pull me back into blissful oblivion. He obviously wasn’t yellow, just wearing a suit that color.
Aramid fibers, my brain urged, and I struggled to remember how I knew that.
“Miss?”
I began coughing until my eyes watered, but I couldn’t get a full breath. My chest felt as if it would crack open from the strain.
The outer shell usually consisted of a Kevlar type material…what was it called?
Someone else knelt down on the other side of me, shining a small light into my eyes. Mouths moved, but I only heard the rush of blood in my ears. I turned my head ever so slightly to the left and that was when I saw it.
An inferno.
Incidentally, that was when I remembered that the material was NOMEX, but instead of being relieved, I was left with more questions than answers. I felt the moisture on my cheek as a tear escaped, before being lifted onto a stretcher and driven away from the devastation.
I wanted to wail and scream, but I’d caused this.
Not so very long ago, the sirens wailed loudly and the world that I’d known ceased to exist.
I discovered that, sometimes, it’s not giants with booming voices or cackling witches who swoop down from the sky—it’s not even a curse cast by an enchantress. Sometimes, the foe that steals away everything you held dear is the reflection in the mirror. The villain you never imagined—the evil you never saw coming…you.














Shannon is a born and raised Texan. She grew up inventing clever stories, usually to get herself out of trouble. Her mother was not amused. In junior high, she began writing fractured fairy tales from the villain's point of view and that was the moment she knew that she was going to use her powers for evil instead of good.

In 2003, she moved to Denver and met the love of her life. After some relentless stalking and a few well-timed sarcastic remarks, the man eventually gave in to her charms and wifed her so hard. They welcomed a son in 2007 that they named after their favorite Marvel superhero, Spiderman.

Sick of seeing beautiful mountains through their window every day, the three escaped back to the desolate landscape of the west Texas desert in 2009. She welcomed her second son not long after and soon realized that being surrounded by three men was nothing at all like she'd imagined in her fantasies.

After an unplanned surgery in 2014 and a long pity party, she decided to pen a novel about the worst thing that could happen to a person in order to cheer herself up. She's twisted like that. Thus, From This Day Forward was born and the rest, as they say, is history.

Not only does Shannon enjoy stalking people, she also has a fondness for being stalked.
