Genre: Contemporary Romance with hints of Dark
Release Date: December 12, 2018

Book Description:


“911. What is your emergency?”

Every night, Zara Llewelyn picks up the phone and assists people in distress. House fires. Assault. Motor vehicle accidents. Home invasions...

Between the hours of six and two, she is the answer to a thousand cries for help. But when the payphone outside Zara’s apartment building mysteriously begins ringing night after night, the very last thing she wants to do is pick it up. And yet, she can’t seem to help herself...

Pasha Rivin’s trying to outrun fate. He’s been running from it for years now, but escape isn’t in his cards. As the oldest son of the oldest Roma family in the country, he’s not just a member of a proud and fiercely traditional clan. He is their reluctant king...and now he’s expected to find a wife.

The fiery redhead that shows up on his doorstep, following a trail of breadcrumbs, hunting for a missing little boy, is the last person Pasha’s mother has in mind, however. She’s an outsider, an intruder, and as far as his family are concerned, she’s not welcome on their land, let alone in their king’s bed.

Pasha has never allowed his destiny to stand in the way of what he wants, however. And he’s never wanted anything more than he wants the girl with the burning red hair.

***

Zara Llewelyn picked up the phone and learned a secret.

Falling in love has never been so dangerous...

Captivated by Tessa Bailey and Eve Dangerfield - Release Blitz



Title: Captivated
Authors: Tessa Bailey & Eve Dangerfield
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: June 11, 2018





Book Description:

Secret aspiring comedian Autumn Reynolds is a girl gone...not wild exactly. More like lazy. Since her boyfriend abandoned her in New York City for a bunch of improv groupies she’s had two priorities; sucking the nitrous out of whipped cream cans and making sex comics about her mysterious landlord.

Blake hates people—and sunlight—with good reason. Imagine his surprise when he finds himself lusting after his upstairs tenant, a sunny, Australian people pleaser down on her luck. Turns out his ability to terrify with a single scowl comes with an advantage. Autumn seems to like it. A lot. As evidenced by the prisoner-captive comic Blake was never meant to see.  


As they embark on a three-date arrangement the rules are clear; filthy, ground breaking sex, no feelings or commitment required. When chemistry is this strong, though, attachment follows. As Blake and Autumn attempt to negotiate their New York romance, their prior histories and secret dreams come to the foreground. How long can these polar opposites remain Captivated, when all signs point to disaster?









Tessa Bailey

Tessa Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high school graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans and laptop, driving cross-country to New York City in under four days.

Her most valuable life experiences were learned thereafter while waitressing at K-Dees, a Manhattan pub owned by her uncle. Inside those four walls, she met her husband, best friend and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put herself through Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace University at the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the work force as a journalist followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention.

She now lives in Long Island, New York with her husband of ten years and six-year-old daughter. Although she is severely sleep-deprived, she is incredibly happy to be living her dream of writing about people falling in love.




Eve Dangerfield

Eve Dangerfield has loved romance novels since she first started swiping her grandmother’s paperbacks. Now she writes her own sexy tales about complex women and gorgeous-but-slightly-tortured men. Her work has been described as ‘the defibrillator contemporary romance needs right now,’ and not by herself, or even her mum, but by OTHER PEOPLE.

Eve lives in Melbourne with her boy, a bunch of semi-dead plants and a rabbit named Billy. When she's not writing she can be found making a mess.

Title: Dirty Exes
Series: Liars, Inc #1
Author: Rachel Van Dyken
Genre: New Adult
Release Date: June 5, 2018




Free in Kindle Unlimited



Book Description:

They’re serving up some red-hot revenge. A sizzling series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel van Dyken.

Blaire has never quite gotten over Jessie Beckett, the ex–NFL star whose kisses were hot enough to ignite the entire Eastern Seaboard. When he chose work over her, Blaire was left brokenhearted. Why else would she have married a skeezy two-timer, just to divorce him less than a year later?

Now Blaire is getting even by becoming one half of Dirty Exes, a PI firm fully committed to humiliating cheating jerks. If only the new jerk she’s been hired to uncover wasn’t Jessie Beckett himself.

Exposing Jessie isn’t going to be easy, especially when she still daydreams about his sexy smile. Further complicating matters is Colin, Jessie’s best friend. He’s gorgeous, a little bit cunning, and willing to help Blaire get the inside scoop on Jessie—for a price.

Now caught between two men—one totally right and the other totally wrong—Blaire will need to decide just how much she’s willing to risk…and whom she’s willing to risk it for.






Excerpt


“What’s with you and nakedness?”

“It’s how we’re born.” I smirked. “Easy.”

“I was also born with crooked teeth and no hair, so I should revert back to that?”

“Actually,” I licked my lips, “You were born without teeth, unless God made you extra special…” I pushed away from the counter. “Did he?”

She plastered her ass against the door and looked up at me. “Did he what?”

“Make you extra special?”

“Why are we in the bathroom?”

“It think it was a power move on your part, lock me in here, tell me how things are going to be, maybe add in a spanking and teach me my lesson—“

“—why do I even talk to you?” Blaire wondered out loud. 

“Because I’m not boring. Like some football players…”

“You never played football.”

“Guilty. I was more of a rugby sort of guy, what prick wears padding?”

She eyed me skeptically, “No offense but don’t Rugby players have a bit more…” She gulped and looked down past my waist, “Okay this is coming out wrong but… thicker—“

The more she talked the redder she got like she couldn’t bring her eyes up any higher without doing permanent damage to her retinas. 

I grinned so hard my face hurt. “Thicker?”

“Um,” She pressed a hand to her forehead. “Legs, damn it, legs!”

“Totally thought you were going somewhere else with that, spy girl.”

She made a face and crossed her arms. “Stop calling me that, it makes me feel young, stupid, and inexperienced.”

“Like a virgin?” I said helpfully. “Touched for the very first time?” She muttered out a dear God what did I do in a past life to deserve him.

I took it as a compliment and pressed my hands against the door on either side of her head. “I think you’re asking yourself the wrong question.”

She frowned, “I didn’t say anything.”

“No, but you’re thinking it.” I whispered. “You’re wondering what the hell you’re doing in here instead of out there.”

She swallowed and looked away. 

I tilted her face back towards mine, my finger and thumb cradling her chin. “The past always looks better through I got fucked over glasses.” I got a bit closer, so close I could taste the mint from her gum. “You think you still want him. You’re wrong.”

She inhaled sharply. “You don’t know me.”

“I know you blush from here,” I tapped her chin then ran my hand down the slim column of her neck until it pressed against her chest. “To here, when you get embarrassed,” I leaned in and whispered in her ear. “Or turned on.”

She blushed immediately. 

I kissed her neck and said. “Told you so.”

She shoved me away so fast I almost got whiplash. “This,” She took another deep breath. “This is business.”

“This?” I pointed between her and me. “Is more than business, but whatever helps you sleep at night spy girl… just be sure to let me know when you want it to get more personal because I’d love to see every inch of blush infused skin, and I’d love to eat my way—“

“—No.” Shed jammed her finger at me. “When I called you, you literally had to kick a woman out of bed.”

“Two, actually.” I shrugged, “Not that it matters.”

“See!”

“So? I like women.”

“I’m not them.”

“No,” I said seriously. “You’re not. If you were, this would already be finished.”

“There is no… this, or us, beyond you helping me get info on Jessie and Vanessa.”

“Sure.” I nodded. “Fine.”

“Why don’t I believe you?”

“Because I just lied.” I admitted with a grin, “But at least you know where I stand.”

“Oh yeah? Where’s that?”

“In front of you.” I smirked. “Obviously.” I walked towards her again and reached for the door knob, “Look I’m just a guy standing in front of a girl asking her to—“

“—finish that sentence and I’m going to show you my kung fu skills.”

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Book Description:


Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills and USA Today bestselling author Tia Louise are back with an all-new romantic comedy filled with Southern sass and steamy scenes that will have you laughing out loud and fanning yourself. Pour the sweet tea and get ready…

“The best way to get over your sh**ty ex-fiancé is to get under a shiny new stud…”

As soon as Mr. Tall, Blond, and Handsome walks into that bar, I know he’s the hook-up I need to get over stupid Cheater Kyle.

A few stolen kisses in a dark hallway, and I’m pretty sure we’re headed for a home run—until he disappears without a trace.

Whatever. Men are all snakes in the grass, and I don’t need a new one anyway.

I resolve to forget about his perfect lips (and chest of steel) and instead focus on turning my Granny’s old beach house into a profitable B&B.

What I don’t expect is for him to show up the next day in my kitchen!

You see, my sexy mystery man is none other than Jax Roland, the drop-dead gorgeous home improvement star of The Right Stud, and he’s got an offer I can’t refuse.

With a suitcase in one hand and a hammer in the other, he wants to move in and renovate my old house while he films his new show.

But my roommate has secrets, and they threaten to rip our blossoming friendship—and possible love—apart.

When push comes to shove, is Jax really The Right Stud or is he just another nail in the coffin of love?

Tangled Love by Haley Jenner - Review, PlayList and Giveaway!







Free in Kindle Unlimited

Author: Haley Jenner
Publication Date:  13 April, 2018
Publisher: Self Published 
Series:  Chaotic Rein, book 1
Genre:  Romantic Suspense
Age Recommendation: 18 and Up
Rating: 5 Stars
~ I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review ~ 



Book Description:

Codi Rein is a means to an end. A bloody and vengeful penance for wrong doing. She was our way to inflict pain and suffering on those who took away what was most important to us.
She was supposed to be a no one. Insignificant.
She wasn’t supposed to make me smile.
She wasn’t supposed to make me laugh.
She sure wasn’t supposed to make me feel something other than hate.
She wasn’t supposed to make me love her.
She was a means to an end. Now the bloody and vengeful end looks to be mine. Because it now comes down to love or loyalty and it’s on me to decide what reigns absolute; heart or family.





My Review:

This is the first book by Haley Jenner that I have read and I am really pleased to now have her in my sights.  Tangled Love was a bit of dark romance and suspense wrapped up into one.  It is an emotional roller coaster of a ride, a book where one minute you are hating a main character and the next you are broken down in tears wishing you could hug them, and pet them, and love them.  It's one of those reads where when you start it you think, okay...this is going to be a decent read, a good way to pass the time and then by the time you are done you are clutching the book to your chest wondering where the time went because you became so wrapped up in the world that Haley created that you didn't put it down until you finished the last page and were left ready for more.  

How far will you go for vengeance, what is it worth to you, what if everything you knew to be true was a lie, what if vengeance no longer matters but it's all you have, it is what has kept you going for 20 years?  Could you shove aside everything, could you let go of the possibility of a new life, a happy life, love for retribution?

I will admit to having some mixed feelings for our hero at first, he is...well, he is a bit of a jerk, (you know what I want to say here, but Amazon won't let me use those kind of words, *side eyes Amazon*) he's up one minute and down the next, he's throwing out mixed signals  like they were dollar bills and he was a a strip club.  But then I began to understand him, I began to see him and listen and well, I kinda have some pretty strong attachment type feelings toward Parker.  I may have even done the unimaginable and fallen a little in love with his brother too, who..wow, if you think Parker is one the dark side, wait until you meet Rocco. 

Codi, she is such a sweet heroine but on top of that she is also fierce.  I loved that she would just walk out on Parker when he was acting like a jerk! *side eye* I love that she made him work to get back into her good graces, that even though her feelings run pretty deep she knows the value of herself and her heart and she isn't going to let Parker downgrade her to one of his normal 'play things'.  It was wonderful seeing such a strong heroine and yet one who is sightly broken and a little soft hearted...honestly she is the every girl, just living in a crazy world.  

Wait, isn't that like a song lyric...that's gonna bug me all day, but anyhoo....you get my drift.  She's amazing and I loved the two of them together even when they were giving me all those angsty feels.  I loved that Codi's kind heart brings out the softness that has always been there in Parker.  When it comes down to it he is very much like a little boy that never got to be.  He just wants love and kindness.  He wants to be shown that it is okay to hurt and when his emotions get too much for him he throws, essentially, an adult sized tantrum.  That doesn't make him a bad person, doesn't make him annoying, (jerk yes, annoying no) honestly it just makes you love him even more because he is so real and so raw and it is so very easy to see why Codi would lose her heart to a man like him even when it could cost her everything.  

Tangled Love is a well paced, thought out story that is going to have you wanting book two in your hands right away.  I honestly can't wait for Rocco's storyline...I love the way it looks like it is going to go and who it will go with.  There's a whole world waiting for us in Chaotic Rein and while I am not sure we'll get more than two books (seeing as there are two brothers) I really hope that Haley is able to weave in some extra characters and keep us sitting on the edge of our seats for a few books more.  

There was only one thing that threw me off and sadly I can't really talk about it because hello spoiler...but there is one storyline that didn't get wrapped up the way I would have liked to see it happen.  Now that may be because we will see this person again and it will wrap up in another installment but I want the vindication that comes along with this persons storyline ending... I think everyone deserves that.  This is a great series to pick up if you are looking for something with steaming romance, some suspense, and little bit of a dark feel to it.  


~ HAPPY READING ~
