KEANU

Selena played me.

Confirming I wasted years loving someone who didn’t love me back.

It should be easy to move on, but since she dumped me, I can’t shake her from my thoughts, no matter how hard I try.

Dates and random hookups don’t help, because no one measures up to the girl I still love with my whole heart.

When she appears at my door, begging me for help, I can’t turn her away. My protective instincts kick in, and I grasp this second chance with both hands.

This time, I’m determined to open her eyes.

To help her realize she made a mistake throwing what we had away.

To prove our love is the real deal.

SELENA

Keanu has it all wrong.

I let him go because I love him too much to continue holding him back.

And I’ve paid for it every day since.

I didn’t think it was possible to miss someone this much, but my entire being aches for him in a way that isn’t healthy.

It’s why I continue to keep my distance even though it’s killing me inside.

No one understands me the way he does, so, when my ugly past returns, threatening to undo years of progress, he’s the first person I run to.

If anyone can keep me safe, it’s the love of my life.

Maybe, this time, I’m strong enough to be the woman he deserves.

If my past doesn’t take me from him first.

Excerpt

KEANU

I like her,” Kent says, talking in hushed tones as we rinse and stack the dishwasher.

“I love her.” I’m not ashamed to admit it. For years, I told my family nothing about the girl who had captured my heart. Now, things have changed, and I’m not going to hide her or my feelings anymore.

“I know, bro. I always have.”

“I’m not letting her go this time,” I say, wiping down the counter. “Selena is it for me.”

Kent eyes me circumspectly. “You really mean that.”

I toss the damp dishcloth in the sink. “Yeah. I do.”

He thumps me in the shoulder. “Guess I’ve permanently lost my wingman, huh?”

“I was never a true wingman, and we both know it.”

“Yeah. You were a miserable fuck most of the time. I’ve seen you smile more this past twenty-four hours than I have in the last two years.”

“She makes my heart sing.”

He sticks two fingers in his mouth, gagging. “Fuck no. Not you too.” He shakes his head. “There is no one left. All my brothers have turned to the dark side.”

Only Kent could refer to love as a darkness. Like it’s an illness or something.

“Love isn’t a burden, bro. It’s the best feeling in the world. Even when the girl of your dreams yanks your beating heart out of your chest and stomps all over it, it’s still worth every ounce of pain. Wait and see. You’ll meet a girl, and she’ll nail your heart to the wall, and you’ll be powerless to do anything about it.”

He shakes his head. “It’s not gonna happen.”

“Why the hell not?” I grab two bottles of water out of the refrigerator while I eye my cynical brother.

“Because we both know I’ll somehow fuck it all up.”

“I have never loved anyone the way I love Keanu. I know I never will.” Selena

Releasing Keanu is the latest installment in the Kennedy Boys Series by Siobhan Davis. This story contains sensitive subject matter that may cause triggers for readers. Please make sure to read the authors trigger warning prior to reading this story.

Selena has spent her the last 10 years of her life in fear. Reeling from deep rooted trauma, her trust in others is very limited and she’s very guarded. When she finds herself staring at a demon from her past, she runs to the one person she’s always trusted, Keanu, who also happens to be her ex-boyfriend.

Keanu has spent the last two years empty. After a devastating breakup from Selena, he tumbled down a dark hole but still found himself missing the only woman he ever cared about.

When he finds her disheveled and panicked on his doorstep, instant protection mode goes into effect and Keanu knows he’ll never let Selena go again.

This story!!!! It about killed me. I literally hurt for both Selena and Keanu. This story is ultimately about healing. It’s about finding the way out of darkness and into light. The subject matter was incredibly dark, but Siobhan again handled it so eloquently.

As with all of Siobhan’s books the writing was flawless. The storyline was deep and thought provoking. It had substance. The character development was perfect. Selena and Keanu will are my favorite Siobhan couple. Even though they were faced with tough circumstances they persevered, and they did it united. When Selena was weak, Keanu was strong.

I just can’t fully articulate how good this story was. To take such dark subject matter and write it so skillfully and tactfully is hard but time and time again Siobhan shows that it can be done.

5 star read and the perfect way to close out 2019!

Release, an all-new “mesmerizing” and “captivating” standalone romance from USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez, is available now!

Release AMAZON

Growing up, Ramsey Stewart branded my soul in ways time could never heal.

At twelve, he asked me to be his girlfriend.

At thirteen, he gave me my first kiss.

By sixteen, we’d fallen in love, planned a future together, and had our eyes set on the horizon.

Love never fails, right?

But for Ramsey, it did.

Love failed him.

I failed him.

The entire world failed him.

At seventeen, Ramsey was convicted of killing the boy who assaulted me.

Move on,he wrote in his first and only letter from prison.

Start a new life, he urged.

I don’t love you anymore, he lied.

There was no such thing as giving up on Ramsey. Love may have been our curse, but he was mine—then, now, and forever.

So here I am, twelve long years later, waiting for a man I don’t even know to emerge from between the chain link gates.

Excerpt

It was funny. I’d spent almost half my life surrounded by the biggest, baddest criminals the state of Georgia had been able to capture. Yet, I was terrified of a five-foot-five woman who for some asinine reason was still in love with me.

I couldn’t be around her. Not if I wanted to keep my head straight and my eye on the prize. I had three years before I got off parole. I needed to get a job, tuck away some cash, and, the second I was allowed to leave Georgia, get the hell out of there. Maybe, if I was lucky, I’d be able to convince my sister to come with me. We didn’t have to go far. We could stay in the south if she wanted. South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee—there were schools everywhere. Nora wouldn’t have trouble finding a job. The hardest part would be convincing her to leave Thea.

However, maybe if she did, Thea would finally move on with her life and stop obsessing about me.

I’d known they lived together for a while. I didn’t want anything to do with Thea while I was locked up, but I was happy as hell Nora had someone to lean on. I had been under the impression that Nora had gotten her own place when she found out about my release. I had been under that impression because Nora had straight-up told me she was getting her own place after I’d declared there was no way I was living with Thea.

Now, I was hiding in my room, waiting for Nora to wake up, open my door, and escort me to breakfast like a damn bodyguard so I could avoid confrontation.

Next up in my efforts to kill time was a workout. Sit ups, push-ups, planks, running in place. This was when I realized Nora hadn’t bought me any deodorant.

Another shower.

Another naked lap around the bedroom, and this time, I managed to keep my hands off my cock.

Finally, I got dressed. This required me to pick through a bunch of preppy shit Nora had bought for me to find tattered jeans and a fitted green tee that clung to my chest like a damn glove. In my closet, I found a belt and a pair of distressed brown lace-up boots that maybe could have doubled as combat boots if the war was taking place on a runway. But what the hell did I know about style? I’d been wearing orange or puke beige for almost half my life.

When I was done with all of that and there was still no sign of Nora, I sat on the edge of the bed and decided to give the phone thing a try. I wasn’t totally out of the technology loop. We had computers at the library and we were allowed to use them if we earned the privileges. But they might as well have been dinosaurs compared to the phone she’d bought me. I couldn’t even get it to read my face with the fancy secret laser thing. I gave up trying pretty quickly.

So there I was, bored out of my mind, starving, and poking at my newfound wrinkles in the bathroom mirror, when I heard a knock at my door.

“Ramsey?”

I froze, my eyes locked on the mirror, panic staring back at me.

Thea.

Jesus. I needed to find somewhere else to live.

Leaning out of the bathroom, I stared at the door. If I was super quiet, maybe she’d think I was still asleep and go the hell away.

When I didn’t reply, she knocked again. Her voice was timid and sweet, not at all like the fearless girl I’d grown up with. I hated it.

“Ramsey? You hungry? I’m making breakfast? I was wondering if you wanted something?” Everything from my name to the fact that she was making breakfast was a question, as if maybe she was asking permission to cook in her own house.

My stomach was currently feasting on my backbone. Still, I said nothing.

She sighed. “Okay. Well, if you change your—” There were several seconds of silence.

I quirked my eyebrow at the door, trying to figure out why she’d abruptly stopped talking, and then cursed my inability to develop x-ray vision.

I held my breath, hoping to hear her footsteps as she walked away.

No. Such. Fucking. Luck.

The door swung open and she came walking inside with her hands stacked over her eyes. “Look, I know you’re awake. I heard you running earlier. I also heard you take at least three showers. Sorry, but the house isn’t that big. Neither is the hot water heater. Are you at least dressed so I can open my eyes?”

Brave. Unapologetic. And completely oblivious to boundaries. Now that was the Thea I knew.

“Get out,” I barked.

“Dressed? Not dressed? Help me out here?”

“Get. Out.”

She kept her eyes closed. “You gotta eat, Ramsey. You can’t stay locked up in this room forever.”

I wanted to tell her to get the hell out again. Honestly, it was on the tip of my tongue. But it never made it past my lips because my traitorous eyes stole a head-to-toe of her lithe body. She was barefoot, wearing jeans—tight ones that tapered at her ankle. They looked like mine in the sense that they had a rip in the knee. They didn’t look like mine in the sense that they hugged the curve of her hips and more than likely her ass too. A pink tank top stretched across her chest, and I swear on my life, fuck x-ray vision because I could see the pebble of her nipples beneath the fabric.

It wasn’t a ridiculous dress.

It wasn’t stupid fucking heels.

She wasn’t wearing a face full of clown makeup.

She was just Thea.

The nostalgia pumped through my veins like acid even as my cock stirred. Fuck, I should have jerked off again in the shower.

“I’m dressed,” I bit out, desperate for her to put her damn hands down and maybe use them to cover her tits instead.

Her long, brown lashes fluttered as she opened her eyes. Those fucking eyes had once owned me. As a huge smile lit her face, I felt the claim all over again.

“Oh, look, you chose one of the outfits I picked out for you.”

Of course I had. Of fucking course. As soon as I got her out of my room, I was going to take the outfit off and light it on fire.

Michel’s Review

Once again Aly Martinez has commanded my complete attention and insisted I stay glued to the pages until I finished RELEASE, her latest novel.

Thea Hull and Ramsey Stewart lives became intertwined when both suffered their own personal tragedies. They were kids trying to survive the loss and heartache while surviving the next phase of their young lives. Their friendship gave them strength to survive childhood. Their friendship gave them an undeniable passion for one another that is only found once in a lifetime. That love was supposed to be the beginning  of their happily ever after. The night that should of been a celebration of their love turned into another tragic event that destroyed their future. For twelve long years they have both suffered the consequences of that ill fated night that changed their lives forever. The one thing that never changed was their deep love for one another. They must find their way back to one another and learn to trust in that love once again.

Release is more than a tragic love story. It’s a story of faith, trust, love for family, and a willingness to forgive. It’s about everything that really matters in life.

Once again Aly Martinez nailed it and held my complete attention. I loved RELEASE!

New Release + Release Blitz + 4 Star Review: Just Kidding by Lani Lynn Vale

Reply

Let’s do a calendar, they said. It’ll be fun, they said.
Well, they—i.e. Kilgore Police Department’s public relations specialists—were wrong.
Now, every time Dax Tremaine walks around a corner, the women of Kilgore, Texas can’t help calling him Mr. January.
Mr. January, can you fix my flat tire? Mr. January, can you cuff me? Mr. January, can you sign my boob?
It goes from bad to worse when even on a SWAT call, the women won’t stay away.
***
It was the worst time of her life. Rowen Roberts had finally admitted to herself that the man she loved would never love her back. She was just fired from her job for violating client confidentiality, and to make matters worse, she’s held up at gunpoint in a convenience store where she only wanted some ice cream to help mask the pain.
The moment the gun is pressed to her forehead, she knows she has a decision to make. Follow the rules and maybe possibly live, or go down swinging where at least she can salvage just a little bit of her dignity.
And when Mr. January himself tells her to do what the gunman says, she’s had enough. Rowen has never really been a girl that does what she’s told. Mr. January won’t have to save her. She can dang well save herself.

Tracey’s Review
I don’t think that Lani Lynn Vale can write a book that doesn’t leave me smiling and happy that I’ve spent time in Kilgore, TX. JUST KIDDING, the first book in her SWAT Generation 2.0 series, is a zany, sexy, feel-good time, and just what I needed to kick off my year in reading.

The thing that I love most about Lani’s books is her characters. They are just so unique, so irreverent, so take-no-prisoners that I can’t not adore them. Rowen Roberts may seem like she’s getting the short end of the deal here, but she’s a canny little thing, and more than able to hold her own with everyone from her nemesis Shondra to the fine folk of Kilgore to Mr. January himself, Mr. Dax Tremaine.

There are some moments of intrigue, good cross-over from previous LLV books, and, most importantly, a story that won my heart so completely that I can’t wait for the next book. All of Lani’s many fans know this already, but if you like your romance with plenty of sass, some laugh-out-loud moments, and just overall good times, this book is for you. Go on, grab it now, and thank me later. ❤️

Lani Lynn Vale is a Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author of over thirty titles. She is married with three children, two dogs, two cats, a donkey, and a couple (a couple meaning over twenty) of chickens. She hails from the Great State of Texas. When she’s not writing, you can find her curled up in her favorite chair reading.

Code Name: Heist (Jameson Force Security, Book #3)
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: January 7, 2020

 

Synopsis:
I am a world-class thief. Or I was, before I got pinched and landed in prison. After I served my time, I decided to get on the right side of the law, or as much as my job at Jameson Force Security allows. The lines sometimes blur, which suits me just fine. My name might be Saint, but I’m a devil to most.

My plan to go legitimate is going as anticipated, until my past and present collide in a big way. While in Paris preparing to take down a ring of highly specialized thieves, I come face-to-face with my biggest threat—and my most dangerous temptation.

Sindaria “Sin” Westin was the love of my life, until her betrayal landed me behind bars. Now I’ve got to find a way to trust her again, at least long enough to pull off this job. When it becomes clear the price for this heist will be our lives, I realize I need to do whatever it takes to keep Sin safe, even if it means trading my life for hers. Because no matter the lies I’ve told myself, Sin’s greatest theft was the day she stole my heart.

Michel Reviews

Code Name: Heist by Sawyer Bennett is the third book in the Jameson Force Security series. This dynamic series has a colorful, charismatic, and memorable cast of characters that come together to form an exciting, thrilling, action packed adventure. Next up on the Jameson roster is the Saint, a former thief known for his unstoppable skills until he was finally caught. Now he’s working on the right side of the law applying his expert skills to stop a theft ring eluding the law. He has to infiltrate the ring and come face to face with the woman he once loved and was willing to give up his elicit career for. Rather than embracing his love she had him arrested.

The passion between Saint and Sin is explosive. They are perfect together and created an exciting story that kept me on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t wait to see how this latest ploy would play out when they were clearly on different sides of the law.  In this exception the only thing that was stolen and retrieved was two hearts blending into one.

Sawyer Bennett once again delivered an exciting romantic adventure. I can’t wait for the Jameson Force agent to fall under love’s spell.

Ashley’s Review

Storyline: 5 stars

Characters: 5 stars

Heat Factor: 5 stars

Overall Rating: 5 stars

The Harder You Fall by L.A. Cotton is the third book in the Rixon Raiders Series and centers around Asher and Mya. Let me just say it’ll leave you even more enamored with Asher than you ever thought you could be.

ALL.THE.FEELS.

From the very beginning I knew there was something uniquely special about Asher Bennet and can now confirm with 100% certainty he is my favorite Rixon Raider. The friend and teammate of Cam and Jase, Asher was the funny one who hid behind his quick wit and handsome looks. He grew up privileged, seemingly having everything he could ever want… but there’s a gaping hole.

Mya Hernandez is one of the 4% in Rixon and by 4%, I mean individuals of color. Feeling at odds with the town she’s in after escaping her past, she feels fortunate to have been befriended by Hailee and Felicity. She’s also caught the attention of one of the hottest Raiders, Asher.

What happens when two people from opposite backgrounds, but similar hearts come together? A love story like no other.

This story rocked me to my core. There was typical Asher humor, banter between the main characters, but there was so much more. This story packs substance and tackles some tough topics. There were tears, so get some Kleenex handy. This story was everything and the perfect way to start 2020.

Phenomenal storyline. Well realized characters and development of their personas. Wonderfully written.

I hate to see the end to this series, but I’m holding out hope that L.A. will deliver a novella to show a “fast forward” to what becomes of the Rixon Boys we love and their leading ladies.

5 stars!

Come Back For Me
The Arrowood Brothers Series – Book 1
By Corinne Michaels
***
Blurb:
One night, eight years ago, she gave me peace.
No names.
No promises.
Just two broken people, desperate to quiet their pain and
grief.
In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with
her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania.
When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him.
At least I’ll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with
memories I’ve fought to forget.
And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful
than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen.
Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this
time I refuse to let her go. They say you can’t bury the past, and they’re
right. Because when long-ago secrets are exposed, rocking us both to the core,
I have no choice but to watch her walk away again . . .

Michel’s Review
Come Back For Me by Corinne Michaels is the first book in her new captivationing Arrowood Brothers series. Four brothers shared a horrific, abusive childhood that not only bonded them but also drove them away from each other and their family home. They made a pact that they would never return home and would never have children to carry on the Arrowood legacy. They have returned home to bury their abusive, drunken father. They are going to sell off the family farm and never look back.  Their abusive father is going to strike out one last time from the grave with his last will and testament. He is determined to destroy the last bit of joy in the Arrowood name. All four brothers will once again pay a high price for being born an Arrowood. They may hate their legacy but the past they left behind includes more than despair and heartache. They may have left the only shred of happiness they will ever have in life. Vows can be broken, souls can be bruised and battered, but the heart will continue to beat until the love that was meant to heal can do it’s job.
*
Connor Arrowood is forced to resign from the Navy Seals due to a leg injury that hasn’t healed right. Instead of a heroic, joyful release from military service he is forced to return home for his father’s funeral. He’s hoping the money from selling the farm will finance his next step in life.   Rather than getting an inheritance he is getting an ultimatum. His father’s will demands that each of the four Arrowood Brothers spends six months home on the family farm or the inheritance from the proceeds of the farm will be forfeited. Each brother has to comply or they all lose. Connor is expected to be the first to stay on the farm because he is not tied down to a career and has time on his hands. He is also very handy and can repair the broken down farm.
*
The only good memory Connor has of Arrowood Farm and Sugarloaf, PA after his mother passed away when he was seven is his last night there. The night before he shipped out for the Navy. He had an exciting, anonmymous affair with a woman who captivated his heart and soothed his soul. Their promise of one night only has stayed with him all through his adult life. He never dared to dream he would come face to face with the woman of his dreams once again. Nor did he ever imagine that seeing her again would change his heart towards the Arrowood Farm.
*

Persephone Abbot is in my debt.
Exactly the way I want it.

The sins of the father should not be inherited by the daughter. It’s unfair, I know, but since when has life been fair?

The events that brought us here began on Halloween night more than five years ago in that chapel ruin. I saved her that night. Carried her home through the storm that was the omen warning of what would come.

I didn’t know it then, but I do now.

Her father destroyed something precious. Someone innocent.
I don’t believe in an eye for an eye. I won’t just balance the scales of justice, I’ll tip them so far in my favor his legacy will topple.

I’ll take that which is most precious. His daughter. I’ll own her. Make her mine.

But I’m not the only monster lurking in the dark corners of her world. She’ll sleep in the bed of the beast but I’ll keep her safe. Protect her fiercely.

And maybe I’ll keep her.

Set in the Benedetti Mafia World, Descent is a brand new Standalone Enemies-to-Lovers Romance.

Blurb:

Welcome to their kingdom

Cole Covington is the most popular heartbreaker at school.

Every guy wants to be him and every girl wants to screw him.

Except me.

His devastatingly good looks, golden arm, and flirty smiles don’t do it for me anymore…because I know what’s lurking underneath the star quarterback’s gorgeous armor.

At least I thought I did.

Sometimes the most beautiful people…hide the ugliest truths.

And sometimes the only way to save someone…

is to walk beside them through hell.

Sawyer Church is the bible-thumping nerd of Royal Hearts Academy.

Girls pick on her and guys don’t notice her.

Except me.

Sweet, curvy, and sarcastic, she’s impossible to ignore.

No matter how much I try.

Everyone at school has her pegged as the chubby, Jesus loving geek, but unlike them—Sawyer’s real and never pretends to be someone she’s not.

Until I ask her to be my fake girlfriend.

Sometimes the most beautiful souls…hide the greatest pain.

And sometimes the only way to save someone…

is to fight for them.

Blurb:

 

Dangerous and feared.

Those words describe my future husband. Who just so happens to also be my ex-boyfriend.

It’s complicated. Two years ago, he broke my heart when he left me to do his father’s bidding. After months of crying, I finally accepted he was gone and wasn’t going to look back. That maybe he’d never loved me at all. I never wanted to see Luca again.

Now a cruel twist of fate has signed me over to him in a heartless deal. I’m his. He thinks he did me a favor, but I feel like I’ve been given a death sentence. He doesn’t want to get married because he still loves me. No, he did it for money. More power.

I’m going to be a mafia wife. And there’s only one way out of it. Death.

But as it turns out, someone else doesn’t want me to marry the ruthless Luca Bianchi. And if he has his way, I’ll see that early grave.

“A powerful story of growth and healing. Five amazing stars!” Coralee June, International bestselling author

Releasing Keanu, and all-new second chance romantic standalone in the fan-favorite Kennedy Boys Series from USA Today bestselling author Siobhan Davis, is available now!

ReleasingKeanu_ecover

KEANU

Selena played me.

Confirming I wasted years loving someone who didn’t love me back.

It should be easy to move on, but since she dumped me, I can’t shake her from my thoughts, no matter how hard I try.

Dates and random hookups don’t help, because no one measures up to the girl I still love with my whole heart.

When she appears at my door, begging me for help, I can’t turn her away. My protective instincts kick in, and I grasp this second chance with both hands.

This time, I’m determined to open her eyes.

To help her realize she made a mistake throwing what we had away.

To prove our love is the real deal.

SELENA

Keanu has it all wrong.

I let him go because I love him too much to continue holding him back.

And I’ve paid for it every day since.

I didn’t think it was possible to miss someone this much, but my entire being aches for him in a way that isn’t healthy.

It’s why I continue to keep my distance even though it’s killing me inside.

No one understands me the way he does, so, when my ugly past returns, threatening to undo years of progress, he’s the first person I run to.

If anyone can keep me safe, it’s the love of my life.

Maybe, this time, I’m strong enough to be the woman he deserves.

If my past doesn’t take me from him first.
