Michel’s Review

Fall is in the air, the leaves are starting to turn, and it’s time to get ready for one of the most celebrated holiday, Halloween.  Five of the most popular authors in the romance genre have teamed up to add another treat for their fans.  The characters from their celebrated series are donning their costumes and delivering a very special trick or treat to the readers.

*****

Tijan has brought back the crew from the Fallen Crest series to celebrate Halloween college style.  What starts out as a fun girls weekend and Halloween party quickly escalates into a terrifying weekend that could completely change the entire direction of the series.  Someone is terrorizing the girls and determined to see them dead.  Can they save themselves before it’s too late or will this series end like a horror movie?

Tijan thoroughly embraced the Halloween Spirit in Fallencrest Nightmare.  This novella is going to give the readers chills!

***

So Much More by J. Daniels takes the readers back to the Alabama Summer series.  All the characters are living their happily ever after and building their lives.  For some it’s more than love and romance, it’s about building their own families.  For others it’s figuring out what to do next now that they have found each other.  The one thing that ties them all together is their friendships and family support.

It was great to revisit all these characters and see how their lives are playing out. Join the Halloween celebration at McGills Pub.

***

Getting Down by Helena Hunting is the follow up novella to Shacking Up and sets up what’s to come in the upcoming book, Hooking Up. Ruby and Amelie are putting together a charitable Halloween Ball that quickly gets out of hand.  Ruby is all for the Halloween fun and can’t wait to get Bane in a sexy Batman costume.  Amelie is trying to get her fiancé,Armstrong, to loosen up and have some fun.  What started out as a fun event quickly takes on a life in itself.  Between the costume malfunctions, interfering future in laws, a sexy gladiator up for auction, and stuffy socialites; this event is one not to miss!

Helena Hunting once again delivers a pure treat for her readers.  I am looking forward to wedding of the century in Hooking Up!

***

Unsafe Haven by Bella Jewel is the follow up of The Watcher.  Readers thought Marlie and Kenai had put the danger and suspense behind them when they opened up the Sanctuary.  The Sanctuary is a refuge for people who have had troubled past.  It’s a place they can go and have moments of peace in their chaotic world.  The Sanctuary has become a success and they are having a fund raising Halloween party to give their members more.

Odd things begin to happen when preparing for the party.  The odd things are an afterthought because they are too busy preparing for the party.  They should of paid attention to all the signs.  Now they are trapped inside the Sanctuary and danger is at every corner.  Someone wants to ruin the Sanctuary and take all it’s members down.

Bella Jewel had me on the edge of my seat.  This was definitely a Halloween trick that turned into the very best reading treat.

***

The Pumpkin Was Stuffed by Tara Sivec is a Halloween celebration readers will not forget. Get ready for the one of the craziest Halloween celebrations documented.  A pregnant woman ready to burst has to deal with more than just planning the perfect costume.  The Holidays are planning a Halloween wedding with all the bells and whistles.  A crazy father determined to win the neighborhood decoration prize, a twisted bridezilla with the most unusual wedding attire, a crazy aunt who is stuffing the trick or treat bags with all the wrong kind of goodies, and clowns everywhere are just the beginning of this fun family nightmare.  What’s a girl to do, disown her family or partake in the craziness?  Halloween has never been crazier!

Run for your life if you see clowns in wedding dresses or embrace the Halloween spirit and sit down and read The Pumpkins Were Stuffed by Tara Sivec!

Blurb:

I’ve discovered Donovan Kincaid’s secret.

It’s dirty and filthy and rich – as dirty and filthy and rich as he is – and it haunts me as much as he ever did.

Even after knowing what I know now, I still want to talk to him, to touch him. But there’s an ocean between us, and I’m not sure it can be crossed with something as easy as a phone call or a plane ride.

Yet I’m willing to try.

He doesn’t know this yet, but this time I’m the one with the power. And maybe – just maybe – if the air were cleared and all our secrets bared, there could still be a chance for us.

And this dirty, filthy thing between us might end up being love after all.

New Release + Blog Tour + Excerpt + Giveaway + Review: Wild Ride Cowboy by Maisey Yates

 

In Wild Ride Cowboy, Alex Donnelly returns to Copper Ridge, Oregon to keep a promise, but the last thing he expects is to fall for his best friend’s sister, Clara Campbell. Fans of Maisey Yates’ Copper Ridge series will love this sweet, sexy romance releasing August 29th!

 

Title: Wild Ride Cowboy

Author: Maisey Yates

Publisher: Harlequin

Release Date: August 29, 2017

Series: Copper Ridge #9

Genre: Contemporary Romance

ISBN: 9780373803644

 

He’s come back to Copper Ridge, Oregon, to keep a promise—even if it means losing his heart…

Putting down roots in Copper Ridge was never Alex Donnelly’s intention. But if there’s one thing the ex-military man knows, it’s that life rarely unfolds as expected. If it did, his best friend and brother-in-arms would still be alive. And Alex wouldn’t have inherited a ranch or responsibility for his late comrade’s sister—a woman who, despite her inexperience, can bring tough-as-iron Alex to his knees.

Clara Campbell didn’t ask for a hero to ride in and fix her ranch and her life. All she wants is the one thing stubborn, honorable Alex is reluctant to give: a chance to explore their intense chemistry. But Clara has a few lessons to teach him, too…about trusting his heart and his instincts, and letting love take him on the wildest adventure of all.

Excerpt:

Reluctantly, she covered the coffee with a white to-go lid then turned to walk out the door. She didn’t make it very far, though, because she ran right into a brick wall.

Well, it wasn’t really a brick wall. It just felt like one. Large, hard and uncompromising. But breathing. Which brick walls definitely didn’t do.

“Clara Campbell. Fancy meeting you here.”

Clara blinked and stared up into Alex Donnelly’s forest-green eyes and felt a strange response that seemed to originate in her stomach and travel upward to her chest, where it twisted, hard and sharp.

After looking at Asher, his understated physique and much softer brown gaze, the sight of Alex was jarring. Too intense. Too masculine. Too a lot of things.

His dark hair wasn’t military short anymore. It was long enough to hang into his face. He pushed it back off his forehead and again, something twisted, low and deep inside of her.

And then it wasn’t only his features that seemed too sharp. It was seeing him at all. She had been studiously avoiding him ever since he had moved back to Copper Ridge. If ever she’d caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye, she’d gone the other way.

The last time she’d seen him up close had been at Jason’s funeral.

Pain washed through her, canceling out all of the good Asher feelings from only a moment before.

No wonder she’d had such a strong, immediate response to the sight of Alex. The man was dragging a bunch of her baggage in with him. Another thing she liked about Asher. He was separate from her life. From her pain.

Alex was all wound up in it.

“Hi, Alex,” she said, clutching her coffee cup tight, the warmth bleeding through to her palms. Which she was grateful for at the moment since her stomach had gone ice-cold at the sight of him.

“I’ve been meaning to stop by,” he said.

“That’s really okay,” she said, and she meant it. More than okay. Jason’s death meant that she was alone. Both of her parents were already gone. They’d had children later in life, and when her mother had gotten sick, her father had done everything he could to make his wife comfortable as her health declined. She’d died when Clara was twelve. And there had been no amount of preparation that could soften the blow. No amount of expectedness that could have made it feel less like a giant, ugly hand had reached into their life and wrenched the beauty out of it, leaving nothing but a dark abyss.

Tracey’s Review

Paying a visit author Maisey Yates’ Copper Ridge, Oregon, always feels a bit like coming home. Tight-knit community, the feel of small-town living, the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, all work so beautifully when brought together in Maisey’s books. I’d been looking forward to getting Alex Donnelly’s story in WILD RIDE COWBOY, and loved every bit of this book.

Maisey does an excellent job of crafting characters with multiple layers, of people just like the rest of us that have much more going on than meets the eye. Both Alex and Clara are moving through life projecting an image that hides so much of what makes up the real them. Maybe it’s something about Copper Ridge, maybe it’s becoming part of something bigger than themselves, of having the opportunity to move beyond the exterior that people have come to expect. No matter the reason, both of these beautifully broken people bloom and flourish under the care and keeping of each other and those around them, and I just adored the unfolding of their story.

WILD RIDE COWBOY has all of the hallmarks of the other books in the Copper Ridge series. Angst, heat, scenes sexy enough to bring both a blush and an ‘oh, my,’ and humor aplenty. I figure that, if an author can make me laugh, cry, and fan myself in the course of one read, it’s a good one, and Maisey has done an excellent job of all of these.

WILD RIDE COWBOY is another win for me, and an easy 4 absolutely enjoyable stars. I can’t get enough of these characters, and am looking forward to getting the lowdown on the backstory between Clara’s friend Sabrina and Liam Donnelly in CHRISTMASTIME COWBOY. If you haven’t met good folks of Copper Ridge, you’re missing out. Do yourself a favor and read these books; they’re a trip you’ll be glad that you took.

About Maisey Yates:


New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Maisey Yates lives in rural Oregon with her three children and her husband, whose chiseled jaw and arresting features continue to make her swoon. She feels the epic trek she takes several times a day from her office to her coffee maker is a true example of her pioneer spirit. In 2009, at the age of twenty-three Maisey sold her first book.

Since then it’s been a whirlwind of sexy alpha males and happily ever afters, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. Maisey divides her writing time between dark, passionate category romances set just about everywhere on earth and light sexy contemporary romances set practically in her back yard.

She believes that she clearly has the best job in the world.

Title: Club X Series
Author: K.M. Scott
Genre: Erotic Contemporary Romance
Release Date: 2014 – 2016
Series Blurb

CLUB X—Come live out your fantasies!
Meet the gorgeous
men of Club X…
Cassian March, the
face of Club X, the most exclusive nightspot in Tampa. One of the most eligible
men in town, he can have any woman he chooses—and he does as often as he likes.
Beneath his cool facade lies a desire for something more, but will his new assistant
Olivia have what it takes to fulfill his darkest fantasies?
Stefan March, the
manager of Club X, loves the single life. Women are his playground, and this
man lives to have fun. Committed to never settling down, he may have met his
match in Shay, a bartender at Club X who seems immune to his charms. Stefan
loves nothing more than a challenge, though, so let the games begin!
Kane Jackson,
half-brother to Cassian and Stefan, he handles the members’ fantasies at Club
X. Big, bad, and dangerous, his style is hard, like the life he’s led. But you
know what they say—the bigger they are, the harder they fall and Kane might
just fall for Abbi, the one woman able to get beyond his hard exterior to the
heart he hides from the world.

SURRENDER (#2) is FREE for a limited time!

B&N / KOBO / iBOOKS
#1 TEMPTATION
Cassian March, the public face of Tampa’s most exclusive
nightspot, Club X, has a great life. Women, sex, and money are his for the
taking, and no man indulges his desires more. Life is short, and he plays hard.
He lives by only one rule—never let a woman get close.

Olivia Lucas needs a job, and if that means working at a club that specializes
in making members’ wildest fantasies come true, then that’s what she’ll do. A
girl’s got to pay the rent, right? She never expected to fall for the gorgeous
owner of Club X, though, but a man like him would never go for someone like
her. Or would he?

#2 SURRENDER
Stefan March lives for a good time. Born into wealth, he
sees everything in terms of what he can have, especially women. So far, life
has denied him nothing and no one. When he meets his newest bartender, he
instantly knows who his next conquest will be, but Shay’s not like the usual
women he collects. To get her, he’ll have to be more than just the player he’s
always been.

Shay Callahan is beautiful, determined, and intelligent. She’s got plans for
her life, and they don’t include getting sidetracked by a man, and certainly
not her wealthy player boss. Her job at Club X is for one thing—money to fund
her education—but if she can make Stefan March see he’s not God’s gift to
women, all the better. She never expects to find out there’s more to him than
meets the eye.

As different as day and night, can these two see past who they think they are
to find love?

#3 POSSESSION
Kane Jackson, the ruler of the fantasy section of Club X,
has always been different from his brothers. The bastard son of Cassian March
III, he grew up without the money and privilege Cassian and Stefan enjoyed from
the March name, instead only knowing his father as the man who abandoned him
and seeing himself as unloved and unwanted. He let love in once and like
everything else in his life, all that came from it was pain. His heart hidden
behind the walls he’s built since then, Kane is now just the dark figure who
rules over the fantasies of others but has none himself.

Abbi Linde can’t seem to get a break. Too many bad men and bad choices have
left her bruised and broken, but the opportunity to dance at Club X could
change everything. For the first time, she might be able to make a life for
herself and find the happiness she longs for. After what feels like a lifetime
of heartbreak, Abbi still believes one day her dreams will come true and she’ll
find the love that’s eluded her.

Even the darkest heart craves the light, but will the darkness be too much for
love to overcome with these two souls?

#4 SATISFACTION
Cassian March finally found a reason to give up his player
ways. Crazy in love, he and Olivia are ready to take the next step and make it
official, but just when life is perfect is exactly when everything can slip
away.

Stefan March has lived in the shadow of his two older brothers for too long.
With Shay, he sees a chance to finally be the man nobody thinks he can be. But
old family wounds have a way of opening up, and sometimes love may not be
enough to heal them.

Kane Jackson knows a good man would be by Abbi’s side as she prepares to give
birth to their child, but he’s not a good man. Or at least that’s what he
thinks. Willing to do anything to protect her, he hides himself away so he
can’t hurt her. Abbi still believes in him, but will her love be able to
overcome years of him being told he’s only meant to hurt?

The three brothers of Club X have all that money can buy, but will they find
the happiness each of them wants more than anything else in the world?

#5 ACCEPTANCE
Life after Club X has been good for the three brothers who
used to run Tampa’s most exclusive fantasy club. Cassian and Kane run one of
the city’s up and coming restaurants, CK, and Stefan has his own successful bar
in the old Club X building.

Two marriages, three kids, and three happy couples make up one big happy
family.

But there’s another son of Cassian March III out there, another illegitimate
child who never knew his father. The three brothers don’t agree that they
should find him, and even more importantly, what they don’t know about
Sebastian could risk everything they cherish so dearly.

About COLD MALICE

Available September 12th

ASAC Steve (Mac) McKenzie is out to prove himself by leading a task force investigating a series of murders in the heart of Washington, DC. His undercover work in an antigovernment compound twenty years earlier is related—as is the sweet, innocent girl he befriended back then. Now that girl is a beautiful woman, and she has something to hide.

Tess Fallon spent a lifetime trying to outrun her family’s brand of bigotry, but someone is threatening her anonymity by using the anniversary of her father’s death to carry out evil crimes and she’s terrified her younger brother is involved. She sets out to find the truth and comes face-to-face with a man she once idolized, a man she thought long dead. As the crimes escalate it becomes obvious the killer has an agenda, and Tess and Mac are running out of time to stop him.

Will the perpetrator use a decades-old dream of revolution to attack the federal government? And will the fact that Tess and Mac have fallen hard for each other give a cold-hearted killer the power to destroy them both?

Hands down, my favorite thing in the world is to score. Touchdowns.

Don’t let the fact that I’m the leading pick in the Most Valuable Playboy charity auction fool you. These days, I’m only a player on the field. I’ve kept my pants zipped all season long — and it has been long — because nothing’s more important than leading my team to victory every week. Except maybe escaping from the team owner’s recently-widowed and handsy-as-hell sister who’s dead set on winning more than a date with me.

Enter Violet and a well-placed Hail Mary.

She’s my best friend’s sister with a smile as sweet as cherry pie and a mind that runs quicker than the 40-yard-dash. After Violet saves the day with the highest bid, I don’t even give her a two-minute warning before I kiss her in front of the whole crowd and then announce that she’s my girlfriend. Which would be fine except my agent tells me we have to keep up the act while he’s negotiating my contract.
Violet takes one for the team and pretends to be mine, but our boyfriend-girlfriend scrimmage quickly turns into a full contact sport, and I want it to go into overtime. The problem is — I’ve been riding the bench for years.

How can a guy like me, who finally has a chance to prove his worth on the field, convince the girl she’s most valuable to his heart?

MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY is a brand new standalone sports romance written in the guy’s POV!

Excerpt:

The business suit woman raises a hand, offering forty-one hundred.

Maxine’s eyes laser in on me, and she slashes an arm through the air. “Five thousand dollars,” she says, jacking the price up by nine hundred and staking her claim. I shudder inside.

The guy’s eyes widen, and he holds up his hands. “I’m out.”

My stomach plummets when the business woman shakes her head.

“Going once?” Sierra asks, scanning the tables, looking for perhaps one last big spender. My eyes scan the crowd, too. Hell, maybe I’ll find an escape hatch. A trapdoor to drop into and disappear like in a magic act. Maybe Trent will learn to read my mind. Trent, I’ll cover you for anything you bid. Just raise that hand, name a price, and save me.

My best friend’s expression is merely curious now as he watches Maxine and Sierra, waiting for the verdict. My opportunity to play yard boy slips through my fingers.

The look in Maxine’s eyes is pure satisfaction as she waits for the final word. She winks at me, as if we have a secret. Holy shit. She thinks I want this. She thinks I want her to win me. 

A flash of chestnut brown hair in the back catches my attention. A flurry of silver. It’s Violet, hands in the air, wildly flapping over her head in the middle of the ballroom. She brings her finger to her nose. And she’s tapping it, like fucking Santa Claus coming down the chimney, and Harlan tapping his nose to signal his agent, and all the greatest solutions in the universe at once.

My heart goes crazy.

It hammers in my chest. This is like finding an open receiver a second before you’re sacked.

“Going twice,” Sierra says, trailing off as she waits.

I raise my arm and tap my nose, too. Violet is the only one who knows I need to get out of this jam. She’s the only one I mentioned it to. And she’s the only one now who can save me.

“Ten thousand dollars.”

Holy shit. Violet does not mess around with my money. Her eyes widen, as if she’s surprised she bid that high.

My gaze finds Trent. He’s staring at his sister, slack-jawed.

Sierra’s smile is bright and wide. “Ten thousand dollars. Do we have ten thousand, one hundred?”

The room is hushed. Maxine’s expression is blank. She must be shocked. She probably didn’t expect anyone to vie with her to this extent.

I tap my foot, willing Sierra to close this quickly. Just slam the door shut, please, fucking please.

“Going one. Going twice.”

I say a silent prayer. I cross my fingers. I hope.

Maxine blinks, opens her mouth, and I steel myself for a disgustingly high counter bid.

But there’s only silence. No words come. Violet has shocked her speechless. This type of bid wasn’t in Maxine’s playbook.

Sierra raises her arm. “And a night with the quarterback is sold for ten thousand dollars.”

Talk about a Hail Mary.

 

10% of the proceeds from the release day sales along with a portion of pre-orders across all retailers of MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY will be given to the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund and Houston Humane Society to help those in need from the natural disaster.

Colton Allyster is relieved to be back home. After six months of rehabilitation, losing his career as a Marine along with his fiancé, he’s had to learn quickly what’s really important. Colton grew up wanting to serve his country. Managing his parents’ biker bar was never part of his plan, but after meeting Gia Caro, he’s beginning to think that’s exactly where he’s meant to be.

 

Ever since Gia Caro arrived in the small, sleepy town of Ruby Falls, Tennessee, her life has spiraled out of control. Between losing her grandmother a little more each day to dementia, and her hot boss’s constant attention, her once quiet existence isn’t so quiet anymore.

 

After weeks of sidestepping Colton, things get out of hand, and before Gia knows what’s happening, she’s spending her nights in his bed and her mornings in his kitchen. And as he cleans out drawers and makes room in his closet, she starts to wonder if she’s falling too fast.

Excerpt Reveal: When We Touch by Tia Louise

SBPRBanner-WWT-ER

SNEAK PEEK of When We Touch, an all-new sexy, second chance standalone from Tia Louise is coming September 5th!

5.25x8_Cream_300

Excerpt:

Ember

Jackson Cane tastes like red-hot cinnamon, salt water, and sin.

When he concentrates, his long fingers twist in the back of his dark hair, right at the base of his neck, and he tugs.

Tugs… tugs…

I like to weave my fingers between his and pull.

Then ocean-blue eyes blink up to mine sending electricity humming in my veins. He smiles. I smile, and it isn’t long before our lips touch. I climb onto his lap in a straddle as I open my mouth, and his delicious tongue finds mine heating every part of my body. Our kisses are languid and deep, chasing and tasting. We sizzle like fireworks on a hot summer night…

Eventually, with a heavy sigh, I pull away, but hours later my mouth is still burning. I taste him everywhere I go.

Lying in my bed in the dark room, my heart aches, heavy and painful in my chest. Every breath is a burden. I blink slowly at the ceiling and slide my tongue against the back of my teeth thinking about hot cinnamon, tangy salt, caramel and sugar, sunshine and the best summer of my life…

The instant I hear it, I’m on my feet and tiptoeing to my open window. The low growl of an engine tells me he’s there in the darkness, out on the street in the shadows just past the streetlight.

It’s late summer, and the humidity hangs heavy in the air. Bugs scree from the limbs of the mighty oak tree outside my window. Their damp wings make them too heavy to fly, and the sadness in my chest is replaced with breathless anticipation.

I’m panting. I’ve never felt this way for anyone, and I’m desperate to hold onto it. I somehow I know I’ll never feel this way for anyone ever again.

Quiet as a mouse I scamper to my bedroom door and listen. The only sound is the hum of Mama’s oscillating fan pushing the warm air around her bedroom. I can’t hear her breathing. I can’t hear anything… except the noise of Jackson’s engine on the street below, waiting.

Red-hot cinnamon.

Salt water.

Sin.

Pressure tingles around the edges of my skull, and a bead of sweat tickles down the side of my neck, dropping past my shoulder, slipping between my breasts.

I’m at my window slowly lifting the glass, and I don’t care if she hears me. I dive through the space, out onto the cedar shake roof in my bare feet. I’ll get a splinter if I’m not careful…

So many reasons to be careful—I ignore them all.

Synopsis:

From international bestselling author Tia Louise comes a new STAND-ALONE second-chance romance…

Ember Rose was spicy-sweet seduction.

My biggest temptation.

My biggest regret.

I thought she’d always be waiting for me.

I was wrong.

Now I’m back in Oceanside searching for peace, hoping to escape what my life has become.

She isn’t supposed to be here…

Dark hair blowing in the ocean breeze,

Luscious curves barely hidden by thin cotton.

I didn’t come back for her.

But when we touch, I know I’ll do whatever it takes to make her mine…
