New Release + Blog Tour + 4.5 Star Review: The Guy On the Right by Kate Stewart

We’re celebrating the release of THE GUY ON THE RIGHT by Kate Stewart! Fall in love with Theo and Laney today!

 

 

Strike one – My mother named me Theodore after her favorite chipmunk.

Not cool, Mom.

I’ve spent most of my life answering to Teddy, because I couldn’t make Theo work.

Except for here. College. The place where all bets are off, and I’ve managed to redeem myself. There’s only one problem, my new roommate, Troy, is football royalty, and looks like he stepped off the set of an Abercrombie shoot.

Doesn’t matter, I cook a mean breakfast for his panty parade, and we get along well. And anyway, this year I got the girl. And she’s perfect.

That’s right. Theodore Houseman, former band geek, now marching band rock star has finally landed the girl of his dreams.

Everything is perfect.

That is, until Troy takes a good look at her.

I’m not going down without a fight. As a matter of fact, I’m not going down at all. As glorious as these days may be for my all-star roommate, Laney is my end game.

I may not know much about play strategy, but I’ve been the good guy my whole life. I’ve been listening and I know exactly what women want. Framed in a picture standing next to me, Troy may seem like Mr. Perfect, but he’s underestimating the guy on the right.

Spoiler alert: In this story, the underdog is going to win…

Tracey’s Review

Maybe it’s that I read an awful lot, or maybe it’s just that I’m waaaaay past that stage in life, but I find that New Adult/College romance typically resonates less with me. That being said, this book right here proves that not all things of a type are equal. And maybe it’s due in part to the fact that an underdog story will win my heart most every time, but, whatever the reason, THE GUY ON THE RIGHT by author Kate Stewart is a win for me.

There is nothing in this world that would say that Theo and Laney should be a good fit. I mean, truly, it’s just the old, old story of the great guy being ‘friend zoned’ because he’s the absolute best, the funniest, the most fun to be around, a great partner in crime, you name it, but he’s just not quitethe leading lady’s “type.” So, while these two get on like the proverbial house on fire, well, Laney’s got him firmly in the position of male bestie, much to Theo’s long-suffering dismay.

But, we know how things go, when, after looking at a person in one way, one day you wake up and, BOOM, everything’s different. Sometimes all it takes is time together, getting to know someone really, really well, and letting them get to know you, warts and all. And, in the case of Laney, who has a long and storied history of falling for the pretty boy, this is the case.

Kate Stewart has written a book that is funny and sweet, and with a great message: do not, whatever you do, underestimate the “other” guy. You know, that guy, the one that’s always around, always makes you laugh, the one that you can count on no matter what…the guy on the right. This one will make you smile, laugh, and remember what a good rom-com is all about. Make sure it’s on your TBR and enjoy.

Michel’s Review
Opening up the latest release,  Until December by Aurora Rose Reynolds is like going home for a long awaited family reunion and reconnecting with loved ones.  After six years and over a dozen books, the Mayson family has become dear to my heart and a part of my imaginary family. Each and everyone of the family members is unique, special in their own way, and full of heart. Their code of honor, personal ethics, and dedication to those they love is admirable.
***
December Mayson is Asher Mayson’s quiet, studious daughter. Unlike her sisters, she would rather be in her jammies, reading a book, and enjoying the quiet. Although she’s the quiet daughter, she is full of the Mayson spirit.
***
December met Gareth Black at her cousin’s wedding. In a drunken stupor, she gave into temptation and had a one night stand with her cousin’s gorgeous neighbor. The next morning when she woke up and realized what she had done, she did the run of shame rather than the walk of shame.  She had broken the sister code and slept with a guy one of her sister’s had spotted first and laid claim to.
***
Gareth Black is a single father raising two boys. He works two jobs to make ends meet. He has little time for himself but when he meets December Mayson he’s willing to find a way. It’s too bad she’s an immature woman who wants to play around rather than engage in a real relationship. He doesn’t have the patience or the time for that. He doesn’t want his boys to witness another disastrous relationship after what they have had to experience with their own mother.
***
First impressions are usually spot on. Overthinking and misconceptions usually are just that. Once December and Gareth get past that, they are developing a good, healthy relationship with open communication and respect. The boys are finally getting to see what a honest, sweet, caring woman does for a home. All is going well until Gareth’s ex-wife returns home and is taking back her place in the boys life. Gareth can’t let his boys experience that kind of hurt again but he can’t turn them away from their mother.
***
December may be a quiet, mild mannered, sweet girl but she is a Mayson. She will fight tooth and nail for those she loves. She is fighting with all her heart for her three men.
***
Aurora Rose Reynolds delivered another emotional and saucy romance that will please her readers. The Mayson family has gained three more hot alpha men in their family tree. I can’t wait to see who gets the next Mayson Bang!

Cover Reveal: Falling For My Brother’s Best Friend by Piper Rayne

Posted on by
Reply

 

Let’s say you’re an independent,
self-sufficient woman who runs the family company and you find yourself falling
for your little brother’s best friend. Now, more than ever, you need to count
all the reasons why you need to abandon falling.
Abandon Falling #1 – He’s a womanizer. Hasn’t had a serious relationship a day
in his life and changes women more often than he changes his sheets.
Abandon Falling #2 – He’s never serious. He cracks one-liners, mostly at your
expense.
Abandon Falling #3 – When things go wrong, he seems unfazed and always remains
in control. It’s so annoying.
Abandon Falling #4 – He has tattoos. Lots of them. Everywhere. Not to mention,
he owns a tattoo parlor. (Damn it! Why doesn’t that sound like a bad thing
anymore?)
Abandon Falling #5 – There’s a growing list of how different you two are. You
can’t get along for fifteen minutes—a lifetime together would land one of you
in prison.
Keep repeating those reasons and
drown yourself in work. Pretend you don’t notice his good qualities or how
enticing he looks without a shirt, and do not, I repeat, do not agree to live
with the man while your place is being repaired from flood damage.
Trust me, even the strongest of us
can only forego temptation for so long.

Resist - BT banner

“A sexy, emotional roller coaster ride with explosive chemistry between a powerhouse couple. I was hooked from the first page!”– J.T. Geissinger, author

Resist, the first in an all-new irresistible duet by New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg is available now!

!!Resist cover

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Driven series comes a powerful romance about reaching great heights through low depths.

Who says you have to play by the rules to get what you want?

Agreeing to meet Ryker Lockhart is my first mistake. Rich, handsome, and more than intriguing, he thinks blackmail will bend me to his will.

But he’s wrong.

I may have done a few things that weren’t exactly legal, but I have my own reasons for that. The last thing I’m going to do is let some high-powered divorce attorney come into my life, have my body, and rule my heart. Not to mention ruin everything that I have carefully built in just a short amount of time.

But as much as I try to resist him, and against my better judgment, there is something about him that has me agreeing to his proposal.

I’m putting everything on the line for him. I just hope I won’t lose everything when this is all over.

Excerpt:

“It won’t be as easy as you think to walk away from the high life. Money is a powerful thing. Once you have it, it’s hard as hell to live without, Vaughn.”

I start to protest but then realize he doesn’t get it. He knows how much he is paying me. He sees the expensive clothes and jewelry I have on but has no clue they are from thrift stores and pawnshops.

“I’ll walk away.”

The chuckle he emits scrapes over my nerves and irritates them. “No, you won’t. You’re addicted to the power of it. Of knowing you can bring a man to his knees. Of the ability to use your body to get exactly what you want.”

“You don’t know a thing about me.”

But the ghost of a smirk that plays at the corner of his mouth makes me fear he just might. “You don’t have to be embarrassed by it, Vaughn. I get off on the same type of power when I’m in court. It’s a high. Something once you have a taste of, you only seem to want more of.”

“Don’t paint your experience on my canvas,” I murmur.

“Here we are,” he says, pulling my attention to our surroundings instead of to him. We’re standing outside the entrance to The Club, and every part of me deflates a little at the thought of having to go back inside with him.

Of having to play more of the part, when this, me getting to be a little more of myself, has been so unexpected and nice.

“Here we are,” I repeat.

We stare at each other, the shadows of the night playing over his face and reminding me I barely know this man and that I do, in fact, want to know him more.

“I’d be more than happy to drive you home—”

“But—”

He puts a finger to my lips. “But that’s too personal.” He steps into me so that we’re both in the shadows now on the broad sidewalk.

“It’s too personal,” I agree as I draw in the scent of him, the feel of his palms as they run up and down my arms. And for the briefest of moments I forget what I’m doing here and that he’s paid me for it because all I can think about is him kissing me. All I want is him to.

“Why don’t we go—”

His lips close ever so slowly over mine so that I have no choice but to sink into the kiss. A kiss that’s soft and tender when every other one we’ve shared thus far has been raging with a lascivious desire.

But not this one.

My body heats up nerve by nerve. Muscle by muscle. Sensation by sensation.

Until he leans back so his forehead rests against mine and we breathe in the same air.

“Good night, Vaughn.”

What?

My head snaps up as Ryker takes a step back, regret owning every part of his expression, including the desire warring in his eyes.

“I don’t understand.” Flummoxed, I stand where I am and just watch him as he takes another step back and points to the taxi pulled up to the curb at my back.

“Your cab is here.” His smile is pained.

“But . . .”

He lifts a hand in silent goodbye before he turns the corner, leaving me staring after him as the taxi driver ushers me into the cab.

Tears sting my eyes as he pulls away from the curb.

Ryker just gave me exactly what I asked for—no sex—and yet every part of me is confused by it.

Because I want him.

And now I’m not exactly sure what I’m supposed to do about it.

New Release + Release Blitz: Coming Up Roses by Staci Hart

Reply

Everyone hates part of their job, and I hate Luke Bennet.

Coming Up Roses, an all-new must read enemies to lovers romantic comedy from Staci Hart is available now!

CUR-ebook

Everyone hates parts of their job.

Maybe it’s the paperwork. Maybe it’s the day-to-day grind. Maybe it’s that client who never knows what they want, or the guy who always cooks fish in the microwave.

But not me. I love every corner of the Longbourne Flower Shop, every flower, every petal, every stem. I love the greenhouse, and I love Mrs. Bennet, my boss. I love creating, and I love being a florist. I don’t hate anything at all.

Except for Luke Bennet.

The Bennet brothers have come home to help their mom save the flower shop, and Luke is at the helm. His smile tells a tale of lust, loose and easy. He moves with the grace of a predator, feral and wild. A thing unbridled, without rules or constraint.

When he comes home to save Longbourne, I almost can’t be mad at him.

Almost.

He doesn’t remember that night I’ll never forget. That kiss, touched with whiskey and fire. It branded me like a red-hot iron. But it meant nothing to him.

Everyone hates part of their job, and I hate Luke Bennet.

Because if I don’t, I’ll fall in love with him.

About Staci

Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life — a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can’t forget that. She’s also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She’s been a wife, though she’s certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She’s also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she’s been drinking whiskey.

From roots in Houston to a seven year stint in Southern California, Staci and her family ended up settling somewhere in between and equally north, in Denver. They are new enough that snow is still magical. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.

Blurb:

The last time I saw Declan St. James was at our rehearsal dinner. That was shortly before he jilted me at the altar. To avoid the swarm of whispers and finger pointing every time I dared to show my face in public, I fled two hours south to Atlanta and never looked back. Over the last decade, I’d planned hundreds of scenarios about how our next meeting would go down. The expletives I’d hurl at him. Which knee I might use to annihilate his balls. Which dimpled cheek on his ridiculously handsome face I would send a stinging slap across.

But being elbow deep in a cow’s ass was not one of them.

Normally, I didn’t get up close and personal to a bovine’s rectum. At least not since veterinarian school. But desperate times found me back home to attend my grandfather’s funeral, who happened to be the town’s large animal vet. Those two facts had left me wading through manure in Roy Wallace’s pasture to care for a distressed heifer.

While time and maturity seemed to have changed him from the boy I knew, I still wasn’t falling for his charm. Or his hard, chiseled body. Or ass you could eat dinner off of.

No, I wasn’t going back down that street again. Unfortunately, Declan didn’t seem to get the message. Instead, he seemed as stubborn as he ever was and ready for a fight. It’ll be the fight of his life for me to let him back in my heart.

We are thrilled to reveal the cover for STRIP FOR ME by debut author Georgia Coffman! 
 
Strip For Me releases everywhere on October 15th! 

 

A story that starts with
“Once upon a time in Vegas…” isn’t supposed to end with
“happily ever after.”Sebastian

I know this better than anyone, and I can’t let history
repeat itself. This is why I have rules, and at the top of that list is no
fraternizing with audience members after shows. But my rules mean nothing after
my instant connection with Kendall. Her southern accent suggests a certain
charm, but her sharp tongue says otherwise. Which is why I can’t help
myself—she’s a mystery I need to solve. The more I get to know her, the more I
start to believe she could be the one.

Until my past comes barreling in and makes me wonder if my
one night with Kendall was real or all a cruel game.

Kendall

Although I live in LA, my conventional family loves to remind
me of my small-town upbringing. They’ve never approved of my life
choices—dropping out of college, moving across the country, and dating around,
to name a few. Getting involved with Sebastian will be yet another decision
they disapprove of—how much more of their disappointment can I take?

After all, he’s a stripper for Vegas’s hottest male revue
show. He can’t be my forever.

The odds are against us, but then again, anything can happen
in a story that starts with “Once upon a time in Vegas…”

*Strip for Me is Book 1 in the Naked Heat series. Each book
is a standalone contemporary romance.

He’s a Special Forces veteran making his pro hockey debut. She’s a dogged sports reporter determined to get a scoop. She’s also his best friend’s widow…

Fans can’t get enough of Levi Hunt, the Special Forces veteran who put his NHL career on hold to serve his country and fight the bad guys. So when his new Chicago Rebels bosses tell him to cooperate with the press on a profile, he’s ready to do his duty. Until he finds out who he has to work with: flame-haired, freckle-splashed, impossibly perky Jordan Cooke.

The woman he should not have kissed the night she buried her husband, Levi’s best friend in the service.

Hockey-stick-up-his-butt-serious Levi Hunt might despise Jordan for reasons she can’t fathom—okay, it’s to do with kissing—but her future in the cutthroat world of sports reporting hangs on delivering the goods on the league’s hottest, grumpiest rookie. So what if he’s not interested in having his life plated up for public consumption. Too bad. Jordan will have to play dirty to get her scoop and even dirtier to get her man. Only in winning the story, she might just lose her heart…

Michel’s Review

Good Guy by Kate Meader is the first book in her new sports romance series, The Rookie Rebels.  The Rookie Rebels series features rookie hockey players making their appearance in the NHL while finding love.

Levi Hunt is making his rookie debut at the age of thirty after serving in the special forces military.  Not only is he the oldest rookie but he is also “The Story” of the season. He wants to concentrate on his professional hockey career rather than being in the spotlight as a war hero. That part of his life is over and he can’t talk about most of it. A rookie female reporter, a woman who has past connections with him, is assigned to cover his debut and deliver his story.  He thought he had seen the last of Jordan Cooke after his teammate and her husband’s funeral five years earlier.

Jordan and Levi are both starting new careers in their lives.  Jordan is venturing into a  male dominated field as a sports writer. She has regrets that she has been forced to use her connections to Levi to kick start her career.  She also remembers the emotional moment she shared with Levi on the worst day of her life. Now she is getting to know Levi as a man, an athlete, and friend rather than her husband’s teammate in the Green Berets.  He’s honorable, engaging, and sexy. She’s ready for more than a new career. She’s ready to love again and Levi has captured her heart. Hopefully he can see past her career and see her heart.

Levi has felt guilty for kissing Jordan after her husband’s funeral. It was a weak moment for both of them. He doesn’t want that moment to ruin the friendship they are beginning to form. He has wanted her for years but he’s not about to ruin her new career. He wants her to be a success and protect her from the jerks dominating her field.

Jordan and Levi are in for something special and much better than a new career. They are finding love.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I would of liked to see more romantic interaction and dialogue between Levi and Jordan. At times I felt the book focused on PTSD issues and female equality issues a bit too much. I wanted more romance.
