Quinn

Undaunted Men Series – Book 1

By J. C. Cliff

Buy : Amazon / B & N / ITunes / Kobo

Synopsis

You have been warned – Explicit scenes, unexpected twists full of suspense and off the grid angst which skirt along the edges of the dark side will make your heart pound, your pulse race, and the pages flip. And…be prepared to be thrown over a damn cliff.

Fearless and determined, Quinn is the perfect man for the job the Moretti mob has in mind: track down missing mafia princess, Alexis Moretti, and bring her home.

What starts out as a simple task to repay an old debt turns into so much more than he bargained for… And so does she.

As Quinn and Lexi grow close, she becomes more than just his mission. But Lexi and Quinn are both keeping secrets–secrets that could destroy their blossoming romance just as quickly as it ignited. When Lexi’s past catches up with them, secrets and lies will be revealed, and the ultimate test of forgiveness will be upon them both.

*Join Quinn and Alexis as their story unfolds in two full-length contemporary erotic romance novels. Quinn II will release April 19th!

Michel’s Review

I have not read any of J. C. Cliff’s previous books. I have heard wonderful things about this author’s writing. I can honestly say everything I heard proved to be true.

Quinn is the first book in the Undaunted Men series. This book is super sexy, fast paced, loaded with action, and has a gritty backstory. The added bonus is a furry friend becomes a very prominent character in this story.

Quinn owes a mob boss, Tony Moretti, a favor and when the boss decides to collect, it’s going to change the coarse of Quinn’s life. Quinn is a former military special ops operator. After retirement from the military, he and his buddies formed a specialized private security agency. One of their specialities is retrieval. When Moretti’s daughter runs away, he calls in his favor and hires Quinn to bring her home.

The story is that she is wanted for murder and very pregnant. Quinn feels like he isn’t getting the complete story but wants his ties to the mob severed. She has disappeared into the national forest in North Carolina. It should be pretty easy to track her and bring her home. She’s in his backyard, the playground he grew up in. Like the old saying goes nothing is ever easy.

Alexis Moretti ran after her fiancé framed her for murder. With the help of her best friend Connor, she disappears into the forest. The idea is to hide out on the trails for a few weeks and resurface at the safe house. Her former finance has an agenda and he won’t rest until Alexis heels to his commands.

Finding Alexis is easy. Keeping her safe and alive is another story. Quinn and Alexis will find something extraordinary on the trails. They will find that once in a lifetime love. Their happiness depends on staying alive. At every turn they are faced with danger, murderers, and the elements. There is definitely more to what’s behind the Moretti family dynamics. A mafia princess and a seasoned warrior are about to step into a war.

I loved this book and ended on a nail biting cliffhanger. Readers will be hanging on the edge of their seats to find out what happens to Quinn and Alexis. They will also be dying to find out the secrets that caused Alexis to flee.

I can’t wait for the next book. Quinn II will release on April 19, 2016. Quinn and Alexis fate is hanging by a thread.

Synopsis

QUINN IS BACK and pushing the limits on it all — suspense, sex, love, gut-wrenching emotions — with a fiery intense conclusion to his and Lexi’s story. The more Alexis runs, the harder Quinn fights for her.

It’s an undeniable truth; bad things happen to good people, and Lexi is not impervious to the realities of the life she left behind.

Keeping Lexi safe at all cost, Quinn remains unwavering in his duties, constantly putting his life on the line, time and time again.

Two tortured souls are pushed to the edges of their sanity and their love will be put to the test. Tempers flare, emotions burst, and love flickers, but after the ultimate explosion, can forgiveness be found amongst the rubble?

Alexis needs Quinn more than ever…and Quinn must decide if Lexi is truly his fate or if their romance was never meant to survive beyond his mission. One thing is for certain: neither Quinn nor Alexis will be the same after surfacing from the mountain trails. Now that they’ve survived the wild, can they survive each other?

*Join Quinn and Alexis in the final chapter of their happily ever after!

The Blyss Trilogy

Buy : Amazon / B & N

Synopsis

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF SUCH A GENRE-THE LIGHTER SIDE OF DARK?

Everyone will have their own definition of “Dark” vs. “Contemporary”, and perhaps there is a mixture of the two. I like to call this the “Grey” genre.

However, there is one thing for certain; you haven’t ever read this type of story before. Blyss is an original, one of a kind storyline in theme, circumstance, and character action.

You will definitely need all three books in order to put together the pieces of this puzzle, but isn’t that what makes reading fun? Embrace the thrill, the suspense, and the anticipation. Each book is full of twists, turns, and “I didn’t see that one coming” moments. There is a romance story amongst all the turmoil…you will just have to hang on for the ride.

Warning:
**Mature Audiences Only** This book is intended for mature audiences only (18+) and contains explicit descriptions of sex, drugs, dirty talk, strong language, kidnapping, and violence.

*****

Blyss is something the world has been trying to create since the beginning of time, the ultimate aphrodisiac, a drug used against women with one single purpose in mind….

Julianna Oakley has just finished up her junior year at college and flies home to spend her last free summer with her father on their prestigious Georgia estate. Julianna isn’t the stereotypical rich girl, a spoiled prima-donna. She’s down to earth and has an independent streak a mile wide, insisting she makes her own way in this world.

Nick has been setting the stage for a long time, and sparks fly when their separate worlds collide. She is Nick’s ultimate obsession, and he will stop at nothing to own her.

When Travis, Nick’s right hand man, lays his eyes on the prize, all hell breaks loose. He should know Nick is playing for keeps, and while Julianna is fighting for her freedom, a lifetime full of secrets and twisted perceptions slowly unravel as Julianna gets caught in the fray.

5 Star Review : Unseen Messages by Pepper Winters – A Survival Romance

Posted on 03/31/2016 by shellbellereads

From New York Times Bestseller Pepper Winters comes a timeless love story answering the question of what happens when everything is stripped away.

“There is a message for everything. From handwritten to verbal, seen and unseen. Messages exist all around us.”

But what if you don’t see?
What if you don’t understand?
What if, by ignoring the message, your life is never the same again?

Estelle Evermore morphed from nobody to somebody overnight.

Galloway Oak put his past behind him and endeavored to make his fortune using his trade.

Two strangers.
One plane.
Multiple unseen messages.

From sky to island, they find neither fame nor skills can save them. Stripped from society and left alone to survive the elements, the very task of staying alive outweighs all other needs.

Until survival turns to desire.
And desire turns to danger.

Michel’s Review

Author Pepper Winters is known for bringing the unexpected into her books. Her dark thrillers have kept readers on the edge of their seats. Her bold choices in subject matter have earned her the reputation of being the queen of dark romantic thrillers and the queen of angst. She has a gift of building a story that keeps readers glued to the pages.

Pepper Winters has once again surprised the readers with her latest release of Unseen Messages. She has stepped out of the dark world and created a completely different reading adventure. A reading adventure that once again kept me glued to the pages. The nicest thing about this latest release is that it was a stand alone book. There were no CLIFFHANGERS! I didn’t close this book with knots in my stomach. I closed it with extreme satisfaction. I marveled at the reading experience. I was left with the thoughts…What If? Would I survive? I also marveled at the journey Pepper created for each of her characters.

I think most of us are intrigued with the idea of being stranded on a deserted island. We romanticize the theory in our heads, but the reality of it is brutal. Would any of us be able to survive without our cell phones? Could we live without the comfort of air conditioning, electricity, and automobiles? Could we forage for food rather than going to the frig or going through a fast food drive through. Then think about hot showers, soap, deodorant , toothpaste, and body lotion. Could we survive without pain killers, bandaids, sunscreen, or antiseptics? A mere scratch could be deadly in a primitive world.

A group of travelers anxious to get to their destinations fall into the hands of fate. A family eager to reconnect on their long awaited vacation, a young man desperate to begin his penance and redemption, a young woman desperately seeking peace and quiet, and an experienced pilot taking his passengers to their dream destination. Fate intervenes. The helicopter crashes. Lives are lost. Some survive but the cost is high. Now the survivors must learn how to survive in a primitive, untouched world. None of the survivors have the proper skills to exist in a hostile environment.

Two adults and two children will learn a new meaning of life. A new life with different values and different dreams. They will learn to become a part of their new existence or perish. Along the way they will experience life, friendship, love, loss, and renewal. Their experience will forever change their perception of the world. It will change their lives. They are no longer the same people that boarded a helicopter on August 29th. They have evolved. Their secrets of the past no longer matter. Their future is on a new path. Their hopes of rescue may be in vain.

Pepper Winters did a phenomenal job writing this story. It was very realistic and heart breaking. She didn’t romanticize the harsh realities of her characters lives. She didn’t give them the kind of happily ever after we would expect. She gave them new lives that were molded by their time on an island.

This is a true love story in many ways. Four people bonded with their complete hearts. The survivors had a new perception of love, life, and happiness.

I highly recommend reading Unseen Messages by Pepper Winters!

Nobody But You

Cedar Ridge Series – Book 3

By Jill Shalvis

Buy : Amazon / B & N / ITunes / Kobo

Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis…

SOMETIMES YOU CAN GO HOME AGAIN . . .
After an overseas mission goes wrong, Army Special Forces officer Jacob Kincaid knows where he must go to make things right: back home to the tiny town of Cedar Ridge, Colorado. All he needs to scrub away his painful past is fresh mountain air, a lakeside cabin, and quiet solitude. But what he discovers is a gorgeous woman living on a boat at his dock.
Sophie Marren has nowhere else to go. She’s broke, intermittently seasick, and fighting a serious attraction to the brooding, dishy, I’m-too-sexy-for-myself guy who’s now claiming her dock. Something about Jacob’s dark intensity makes her want to tease-and tempt-him beyond measure. Neither one wants to give any ground . . . until they realize the only true home they have is with each other.

Tracey’s Review

“I’ve never seen you look at anyone like that before…You look at her like she’s…”
He slid her a look. “What?”
“Like she’s a double-fudge brownie, warm from the oven.”
“You’re wrong.” He wasn’t looking at her like she was a double-fudge brownie. She was more important than dessert. She was a main course, the base of the food chain.
And hell.
He hadn’t seen her coming.

I know that picking up a book by Jill Shalvis is like a cure for whatever is ailing me. Writing books that are funny, sweet, steamy, and with just the right number of serious moments, Jill creates stories and characters that make it easy to lose yourself in them and emerge having really enjoyed yourself.

I don’t think that there is a man in any of her books that I haven’t adored, but Jacob Kincaid is just, wow. The son of a philandering father with a penchant for making babies far and yon, Jacob and his twin brother, Hud, were blessed to have been welcomed into the patchwork Kincaid family. But Jacob never felt as though he belonged, and was bound and determined to escape their home in Cedar Ridge, CO, as soon as he was able. That decision cost him his family for nine long years, but, now that he’s back, he’s doing all that he can to mend fences and hearts, and create a home for himself with the people that he loves the most. When Jacob makes the acquaintance of Sophie Marren, he has no idea that his world is about to be rocked, in every possible way. Sophie is a firecracker, and a survivor. Recently unencumbered of her lout of an ex-husband, she’s trying to make a new life in her adopted home of Cedar Ridge. Granted, living on a boat that she hates just to infuriate said ex may not be the usual way to get started, but it does have the advantage of a) making her ex crazy, and b) catching the eye of one Jacob Kincaid.

Jacob has been through a tough nine years, and is really looking for a new start and a soft place to land. He’s used to guarding his heart, but, from the moment he lays eyes on Sophie, the walls begin to crack. And, Sophie, burned by love from way back, doesn’t want anything to do with love. Sure, Jacob lights her up like nobody’s business, but that’s as far as it goes. Until, like most best laid plans, lines begin to blur, and feelings come into play, and, well, love does what it does.

I loved the relationship between Jacob and Sophie. The stars were absolutely aligning to bring the both of them just what they needed: each other. For all of that neither of them were looking for anything emotional or long-lasting, the spark between the two of them was instantaneous and explosive.

“How do you know how hungry I am?”
The words-not to mention his voice-gave her a shiver in the very best kind of way. “How hungry are you?” she heard herself whisper.
He let five solid beats go by, during which time he just looked at her. “Frighteningly hungry,” he finally said.
Another woman promptly ran her cart into Sophie’s. “Oh, sorry!” the woman gasped, face red as she hurried off.
“You’re making quite an impression,” Sophie managed dryly.
He shook his head like he disagreed and stepped closer to her, right inside her own personal little space bubble. Now she was in his orbit and in danger of being sucked in and going up in flames.

Fight it as they might, these two are the proverbial moths to the flame for each other, and watching them work that out is fun, humorous, and downright steamy. Because, Jill Shalvis can write the darned sexy time like nobody’s business, and the scenes between Jacob and Sophie should come with a spontaneous combustion warning.

Beyond being a love story, NOBODY BUT YOU is another of Jill’s trademark stories revolving around a cast of characters that we’ve come to know and love, set in a place that we’d all like to call home. I really enjoy the small-town dynamic and close-knit feeling of the Cedar Ridge stories, and the relationship between all of the members of the Kincaid family, because, let me tell you, they are some characters. But what shines forth the most is the love that they have for each other, and the way that, at the end, they have each others’ backs completely. Watching Jacob and Sophie discover this, and find their own places, both in Cedar Ridge, and together, makes this another 5-star read for me. If you haven’t read this series, you’re missing out. Do yourself a favor, and add them to your TBR.

5 Star Review: Desperately Seeking Epic by B N Toler

Posted on 03/28/2016 by shellbellereads

Desperately Seeking Epic

By B. N. Toler

Buy : Amazon / B & N / ITunes / Kobo

Synopsis

Paul James loved Clara Bateman.
Hating her would have been easier.
She was the past, and he was hell-bent on keeping her there.
Or so he thought…

Craigslist Ad: DESPERATELY SEEKING EPIC

You’re my father.
I don’t know much about you. I know your name is Paul James, you’re a thrill seeker, and once upon a time you did stunts and people called you ‘Epic.’
I’ve been told you don’t know about me. That it’s complicated.
But for me it’s simple.
Here’s the thing: I’m twelve years old…and I’m dying.
And as much as this could crush my mother, I have to meet you before I go.
In time, I’m sure she’ll understand. She’s still in love with you.
So, Epic, if you read this, please come back. You don’t have to be my dad. You don’t even have to tell me you love me or you’re sorry. Just come see me.

Patiently waiting, but running out of time,

Neena

________________________________

Michel’s Review

I saw this book blowing up on social media and I had never read any books by B. N. Toler. The synopsis intrigued me. I had to read this book.

It was an EPIC reading experience.

Get out the tissues and be ready for that really ugly, snotty cry.

Does that sound depressing? Believe me it’s not! This is a story of love, life, friendship, and family. It makes the reader realize that every moment we spend we are experiencing something EPIC. Every moment is defining in some way. Every moment changes our lives. Every moment makes a difference.

Paul James and Claire Bateman made quite a few mistakes in their younger lives. Both were stubborn, independent, and head strong. Both had different definitions of happiness. Regardless of those definitions they found that once in a lifetime love with one another. The problem was that neither knew what to do with those powerful feelings. Neither knew how to surrender or compromise. Neither knew how to surrender to the heart. Rather than experiencing something epic, they went their separate ways with a heart full of hurt and regret. Their short time together left a mark on both of their souls. Their love for one another created something EPIC. They created a beautiful daughter, a girl with a pure heart and soul. They created Neena.

When Paul left, not only was Claire devastated, but also his best friend Marcus. As one door closed, another opened. Claire and Marcus bonded and became best friends. Marcus became the rock Claire needed and the father figure Neena needed. Both felt betrayed by Paul’s disappearance. As Neena’s health begins to decline they realize that they have to let their anger go and bring Paul home. He may be Neena’s only hope for survival.

Neena is facing her own mortality. She’s an impressionable twelve year old girl that has only heard stories about her biological father. She’s heard the good, the exciting, and the disappointing stories. She wants to experience her own story with him. She places a Craigs List Ad that goes viral on social media. It captures the attention of the world. The world wants Neena to find EPIC.

When Paul is finally forced to return home, he has no clue about the Craigs List Ad, social media, the media hounds, or Neena. When he meets his daughter for the first time it is beyond EPIC, it is extraordinary. He may have lost the love of his life but he was given a chance to experience a new love in his life.

Neena, Paul, Claire, Marcus, and three teenagers embark on something EPIC, something that changes all their lives. It changes their perceptions, their priorities, and their relationships. They experience something EPIC!

This book was absolutely amazing. It’s EPIC!

6 Star Review + 2016 Favorite: Target On Our Backs by J.M. Darhower – Monster In His Eyes Series – Book 3

Target on Our Backs

Monster In His Eyes Series – Book 3

By J.M. Darhower

Buy : Amazon / B & N / ITunes / Kobo

BLURB

The best way to keep your word is never
to give it.

Not long ago, in a chapel in Vegas, I swore to love Karissa
for the rest of my days. But nobody’s promised an infinite number of tomorrows.
Nobody’s promised forever. Sometimes, all we have left is today.

Carpe Diem

Seize the day.

It should’ve been over, we should’ve been happy, but people
are making it hard for me to live in peace. I’ve got so much blood on my hands
they’ll never be clean, and somebody out there seems to want me to pay for it. Happily Ever After always comes at a
cost, one any real man would be willing to pay. But that doesn’t mean I’m just
going to roll over and accept these consequences.

Because when it comes to the woman I love? The life I’ve
fought for?

Nobody is safe.

___________________________________

Robin’s Review

Every time author J.M. Darhower publishes a new novel, I can be sure of this: I’ll be swept away into a world of suspenseful action courtesy of a brilliant imagination and excellent writing. Darhower has a forte for writing stories about the Mafia. She has a gift for sweeping readers away into a world of violence, action and romance. Her antiheroes are dark, they face demons, they are not afraid of taking a life; and yet, readers still find themselves pulling for these men to find peace with the woman of their dreams.

It’s been approximately sixteen months since I read Torture to Her Soul, the 6-star follow-up to Monster in His Eyes. At that time, I believed the Monster in His Eyes series was to be a duology, and therefore complete. I thought both books were outstanding, so imagine my surprise when Darhower recently surprised us with Target on Our Backs! If you’re anything like me, you may struggle to remember what took place in the previous two novels of this series. Well, worry not! Darhower sprinkles a recap of events from Monster in His Eyes and Torture to Her Soul, here and there, within the first few chapters of Target on Our Backs. By the time you have read several chapters of the novel, your memory should be refreshed.

I thought the synopsis of Target on Our Backs seemed vague, but once I was able to read the prologue – once I was able to combine the words of the synopsis with the metaphor written into the prologue, the plot became much clearer to me. Ignazio Vitale contemplates how a power vacuum can occur when a king of a pride of lions is killed. In the absence of the lion king, there is a real struggle for power. Cubs of the dead lion king essentially become targets to lions who seek to become the new king. And with this comes the realization that Naz and his new wife, Karissa, are essentially targets for somebody who is taking advantage of the power vacuum in the Mafia.

Told from the alternating first person points of view of Naz and Karissa, Darhower wastes no time in capturing the attention of her readers, pulling them into this story. The writing is so crisp in Target on Our Backs, and it’s pure Mafia! Anxiety builds with each new chapter while the danger surrounding Naz and Karissa continues to increase. Each time I began a chapter, adrenaline hummed in my blood! I was nervous about what I would be reading next, yet my curiosity and the excellent storytelling drove me onward. Darhower has such powerful writing – I truly have missed it!

Naz showed real character growth in Target on Our Backs. I enjoyed learning more about his background, about his childhood and tempestuous relationship with his father, Giuseppe Vitale. The scenes involving Naz, Giuseppe and Karissa were some of my favorites of this novel. I felt the pacing, the rhythm of this novel, was right on point. It moved quickly, as I stated earlier, with pure anxiety holding me to the pages. We meet an important new character in Target on Our Backs. It’s hard to discern if Lorenzo Gambini is friend or foe, or some of both, but I do know this: I loved his character. Lorenzo is dangerous, intriguing, entertaining and clever on his feet, and I would absolutely love to read more about him!

I’ve taken some time to consider my thoughts about Target on Our Backs, but I’m quite sure it’s deserving of 6 stars! Congratulations to author J.M. Darhower for another fantastic novel! Target on Our Backs has been added to my list of 2016 favorites!

___________________________________

Monster In His Eyes Series

Monster In His Eyes – Book 1

Ignazio Vitale is not a good man.

I suspect it, the first time I see him, sense the air of danger that surrounds the man. He has a way of commanding attention, of taking control, of knowing what I’m thinking before I even do.

It’s alarming and alluring. It’s dark and deadly. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted but the last thing I truly need. Obsession.

It doesn’t take him long to draw me into his web, charming me into his bed and trapping me in his life, a life I know nothing about until it’s too late. He has secrets, secrets I can’t fathom, secrets that make it so I can’t walk away, no matter how much I beg him to let me go. I see it sometimes in his eyes, a darkness that’s both terrifying and thrilling. He’s a monster, wrapped up in a pretty package, and what I find when I unmask him changes everything.

I want to hate him.

Sometimes, I do.

But it doesn’t stop me from loving him, too.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: This book is intended for a mature audience only, due to some dark and erotic content.

Torture Her Soul

Monster In His Eyes- Book 2

Don’t say it unless you mean it…

It’s a simple concept, one I’ve said time and again, but something people don’t seem to comprehend. You should choose every syllable carefully, because you never know when somebody will hold you to your word.

Somebody like me.

I’m not a good man. I’m not. I know. I have enough darkness inside of me to rid the world of every stitch of light. But there’s one I could never harm, one light I couldn’t bring myself to snuff out.

Karissa.

She thinks I’m a monster, and maybe I am. I taunt her with my touch, get a thrill out of torturing her soul. But I’m not the only one. The world is full of monsters, and I’m not the most dangerous one out there.

Not even close…

God help me, I love her.

I do.

And God help anyone who tries to take her from me.

New Release & 5+ Star Review: Rushing The Goal by Toni Aleo – Assassins Series – Book *

Posted on 03/28/2016 by shellbellereads

Rushing The Goal

Assassins Series – Book 8

By Toni Aleo

Buy : Amazon / B & N / ITunes / Kobo

Synopsis

Introduced in Toni Aleo’s Bellevue Bullies Series, it’s the Sinclair brothers’ big sister’s turn to find love in the next installment of the New York Times and USA Today best-selling series, the Assassins.

Lucy Sinclair was no stranger to pain.

She grew up with three younger brothers, met a bad boy, got pregnant by him, married him, and then suffered through a nasty divorce from him. Pain. That was pain. To top it off, she even had to go through the heartbreaking divorce of her parents. Through it all, she survived. All she cared about was making sure her daughter was happy and taken care of. Despite an ex-husband hell-bent on ruining her life, she fought to overcome. She’s gotten to the point that she’s okay with being just okay. She never cared about herself because she never had the time. It was Angie and only Angie she focused on, but that all changed when Benji Paxton offered to help her daughter on the ice.
Benji knew the moment he saw Lucy, he’d never be the same. Especially when she came with the bundle of crazy that was her daughter. His heart wasn’t ready for them. After years spent sobering up and finding who he was without the alcohol, he never forgot he was being punished for not appreciating the love he had when he was younger. Because of his past, he had gotten used to being alone, a recluse, but even he had to admit it was getting old. He was lonely. Hockey wasn’t enough anymore. He wanted a family; he wanted his true love, and Lucy and Angie were just that.

Benji and Lucy were just two lost souls.
Floating through life with no purpose.
But finding each other gave them direction, a chance at a future.

And that had them both Rushing the Goal to be together.

Michel’s Review

My Favorite Book by Toni Aleo!

I am a huge fan of the Assassins series and the Bellevue Bullies series. Hot hockey players, sizzling romance, and Toni Aleo’s talented writing skills are the perfect combination of sports romance, contemporary romance, and new adult romance all wrapped up in an emotionally engaging story. I have enjoyed every single book in both series. I have to say that Rushing The Goal is my favorite book in both series. It had the special magic of both series, strong family dynamics, team unity, and the entire cast of characters (both series) helping Lucy and Benji find their happily ever after. This book had passion, heartbreak, humor, and dealt with issues that many people can relate to. Add an adorable little girl to the mix that not only steals the characters heart but also the readers. The best thing about this book is that Toni put a lot of herself in this book. A reader could easily see huge chunks of who Toni Aleo is. It made this book even better!

I love witty, snarky dialogue between characters. I love sassy women and dirty mouthed men. When the dialogue between two characters has me laughing, cussing, and engaging right along with them, you know the author has done something right. When you reach the point where the characters are revealing their hearts, their hopes and fears, and you are crying right along with them, you know the author has put her heart into these people she created. Toni Aleo brought Lucy and Benji to life in Rushing The Goal. Although the readers met these characters in previous books, the impressions we walked away with were completely off, there are many layers to these two dynamic people.

Without giving away any spoilers let’s just say… the shrew and the dork are a match made in heaven. Angela is the angel that owns both of their hearts. These three people are going to have to face the biggest battle of their lives in order to win the biggest prize, the title of FAMILY. It’s going to be more EPIC than the Stanley Cup Championship. They are fighting for each other.

Benji is going to gain more than he lost. He’s not only going to win two princesses , but he’s also going to gain three Sinclair brothers, a coach father in law, a lovable meddling mother in law, and the Glittery Butterflies hockey team. He’s going to learn to let go of the past and reach for the future. He’s doing more than collecting rare toys, he’s collecting a family. He’s getting the title of Daddy.

Lucy and Angela have lived through a horrific past. They are still dealing with the after effects of that past. Angela still has to spend time with her father. Lucy has to let go of the most precious piece of her heart every other weekend and deal with the damage every other Monday. For her baby she would do anything. Somewhere along the way she lost herself. Her family has been supportive, her career is finally taking off, and the woman she lost is beginning to surface since she met Benji Paxton. The lovable dork hockey player has stolen her heart. He stole Angela’s heart the first day they met. Can she let this man into their lives? He’s worth the risk. He’s worth opening up her heart for.

There is so much more to this story that many readers will relate to. Divorce is an ugly thing but when a child is used as a pawn it is heartbreaking. Alcoholism is devastating but when someone finally accepts and conquers their addictions it’s the ultimate victory. Learning to forgive yourself and let go of the past is opening the door for a happy future. Fighting for those you love is worth everything you are. Becoming a family is priceless. It’s the rush of a lifetime.

Toni Aleo delivered a fantastic story. I loved that she included all of the characters from both series to become the ultimate support system for Lucy and Benji. The Sinclair family is healing and gaining more members. I still love those Sinclair boys even though they play with poop… lol… read the book !

Rushing The Goal can be read as a stand alone or in series order. It is a heartwarming romance and story of family love.

I loved Rushing The Goal by Toni Aleo!

Release Blitz & 5+ Star Review: Heartbreaker by Melody Grace

Posted on 03/28/2016 by shellbellereads

Heartbreaker by Melody Grace
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 28th

“A must read second chance love story!”

– **Claire Contreras, NYT Bestselling Author**

Heartbreaker

By Melody Grace

Buy : Amazon / Amazon UK / B & N / ITunes / Kobo

Synopsis:

They say that time heals a broken heart, but you try moving on when your ex is the most famous man on the planet.

Every time I walk down the street, there he is on magazine covers and billboards plastered with his gorgeous face: Finn McKay. Now he’s a drop-dead sexy rock star, but when I knew him, he was just the boy from the wrong side of the tracks – and the first guy I ever loved. He broke my heart into a hundred pieces when he skipped town without saying goodbye – but now he’s back.
And he wants me.
I’m determined not to make the same mistakes twice, but the chemistry with Finn was always way too hot to ignore. He was the guy who had me sneaking out my bedroom window for just one more kiss, and breaking curfew parked by the riverbanks, steaming up his windows in the backseat of his car. The past five years have been good to him, real good, and between his dirty mind and that ‘I know how to make you scream’ smile, he’s breaking through my defenses all over again.

Maybe one last wild fling for old time’s sake is what I need to finally move on. But what happens when Finn wants more than my body? This time he wants everything.

Tracey’s Review

“See, I want to make one thing clear,” I tell her, still holding tight, feeling her body relax again, pulled back from the edge. “I’ll do anything for you, baby. Anything you want. I will love you until the end of the…world, but you don’t get to shut me out again. When I take you, I take all of you. Every last piece of you, body and soul.”

Oh, my goodness, Melody Grace, I die. Why, you ask? Two words: Finn McKay. This man, this wonderful, loving, sweet, hot man, has won me over, heart and soul.

I have been a fan of Melody Grace for a very long time. Instantly smitten by her Beachwood Bay series, I grew to love the stories of broken folks that found love, peace, and their other halves, in a lovely little town on the coast of North Carolina. Seeing the end of the series left me feeling a little bit like I was leaving friends behind, and a place that I had grown to love. So, when I came across the blurb for HEARTBREAKER, Melody’s latest book, I was so excited to see what she had in store for us.

High school sweethearts, Eva and Finn were everything to each other. When he left her and their hometown of Oak Harbor without a word or a backward glance, Eva was heartbroken. Leaving town seemed like the best medicine, but broken dreams, a life spinning out of control, and the pull of the peace of Oak Harbor drew her back home. Finn, though, made a life that he’d always dreamed of, finding fame and success through his music. Seeing him in Oak Harbor again was the last thing that anyone expected, and his return has Eva reeling, especially when Finn makes it clear that he’s back for her.

He was our claim to fame now, the wayward son made good, and even though it would have been easier if he’d just stayed gone, there’s a part of me that knew this was inevitable. One day Finn would be coming home.

I loved this book. From the first page through to the last word, I could not read quickly enough. In her typical style, Melody has written a story full of love, passion, longing, and redemption. These characters are well-rounded and complex, flawed, yet honest and open, and their passion for each other was palpable. I love that, while there is plenty of sizzle, it is the emotion that leaps off the page, the tie that binds Eva and Finn together, despite, or perhaps because of, their past. HEARTBREAKER is a 5+ star read for me, and one of my favorites of 2016. Thank you, Melody, for sharing Eva’s and Finn’s story with us. It was absolutely worth the wait.

There once was a boy, and I loved him.Logan Francis Silverstone and I were complete opposites. I danced, and he stood still. He was quiet, while I ran my mouth. He struggled to find a smile, and I refused to frown.

The night I saw the darkness that truly lived inside of him, I couldn’t look away.

We were broken together, yet somehow whole. We were wrong together, but always right. We were the stars that burned across the night sky, searching for a wish, praying for better tomorrows.

Until the day I lost him. He threw us away with one hasty decision–a decision that changed us forever.

There once was a boy, and I loved him.

And for a few breaths, a few whispers, a few moments, I think he loved me, too.

Michel’s Review

The Fire Between High & Lo by Brittany C. Cherry has released! It is one of those books that needs to be put on your ” to be read list”. It is a reading experience that will touch both your heart and soul.

Brittany C. Cherry is known for delivering an emotional story that pulls at the readers heartstrings. Within the story itself she delivers some very profound insights about life . She taps into the human psyche and validates every positive and negative emotion a person has. While the reader is being absorbed in the characters lives and story, there is also a powerful underlying message hidden within the words that pops out towards the end of the story and makes the characters lives all the richer. At which point the reader is wowed by the brilliance in the writing.

High, aka Alyssa Marie Walters, and Lo, aka Logan Fracis Silverstone, met when they were teenagers. The came from very different backgrounds and their paths should of never crossed. Although they came from different worlds, they both found they had something in common. They found solace and understanding in one another. They found the peace they desperately needed in their dysfunctional lives. The bond they formed could never be broken. What started as friendship turned into a passionate love. That once in a lifetime kind of love. A love that was pure. A love that couldn’t be broken…That is until life interfered and realities changed their paths.

Fast forward to five years later, Logan and Alyssa are now strangers. They are brought back in contact with one another through their siblings upcoming marriage. Logan vowed he would never return to Wisconsin, his brother is the only person that could bring him back to the hell hole he once called home. Coming home for one week shouldn’t be too hard, he can get in and get out quickly. Once again… life rears it’s ugly head. Logan is going to experience the true meaning of life. He’s going to find that home is more than a GPS location. He’s going to find the definition of home with his heart.

Alyssa was devastated when Logan abandoned her years ago. She has moved on in life but her heart still belonged to the boy that watched the stars with her. She’s angry that Logan turned his back on her but she is still tied to his heart. When he returns for his brother and her sister’s wedding, it’s a chance to set things right between them. It may not be a second chance for their love but it is the only chance to save both of their souls. A chance to mend their hearts. Logan is home and Alyssa is going to make sure that he stays.

There is so much more to this beautiful story that the reader must experience for themselves.

Brittany C. Cherry is one of the most talented writers I have had the pleasure to read. Her stories are captivating and emotional. Her characters are every day people, like you and me. She brings them to life and lets them breathe their own fire. At the same time she allows them to learn the life lessons that we all experience in our lives with compassion. She pours her heart into the book and the book shines brightly.

The Fire Between High & Lo by Brittany C. Cherry is a must read book! I loved it!

Synopsis

I was warned about Tristan Cole.

“Stay away from him,” people said.
“He’s cruel.”
“He’s cold.”
“He’s damaged.”

It’s easy to judge a man because of his past. To look at Tristan and see a monster.

But I couldn’t do that. I had to accept the wreckage that lived inside of him because it also lived inside of me.

We were both empty.
We were both looking for something else. Something more.
We both wanted to put together the shattered pieces of our yesterdays.

Then perhaps we could finally remember how to breathe.

Sass

By Laramie Briscoe

Buy: Amazon / Amazon UK / Amazon CA / Amazon AU /

ARE / ITunes / Kobo / Google Play

Synopsis

I, Cassandra Straight, have loved Reed Shamrock to distraction since I was a teenager. I even watched him fall in love with someone else and almost get married.

A year ago, when he walked into his house and found his fiancée’s face in his best friend’s crotch, his life changed forever and it hasn’t been the same since.

On his first night out since the horrible incident, we run into the ex-skank. Seeing the devastation in his eyes, I made a promise that I would help him get over her. I told him that a pretend relationship between us would work. It would help him move on.

I didn’t count on my heart or his getting in the way. And I sure as hell didn’t count on not being able to tell when pretend turned to reality. When it all implodes, the only thing left is the truth.

Sometimes though, the truth? It hides and we have to dig deep to find it. To make it come to the surface, we have to give it a little talking to. We have to give it a little Sass.

Included in the back of Sass is an exclusive sneak peak of “Renegade” – the first book in a new series for 2017!

Michel’s Review

Sass by Laramie Briscoe is a charming , contemporary stand alone romance. It’s a friends to lovers and falling for best friend’s little sister theme.

Reed Shamrock has been in Sass Straight’s life as long as she can remember. He is her older brother’s best friend. He has always been there for her family and more importantly, for her. When he catches his finance with her lips wrapped around his other best friend’s “little friend”… He’s devastated.

Fast forward to one year later. Reed is finally ready to move on and start a new life. He’s worked hard to build his construction business. He’s ready for something real. Something better. This time around he wants a partner, not a woman that he has to work hard to please. He wants a woman to accept the man he is and cherish what he has to offer. But taking the first step is the hardest. When Sass proposes that not only does he start stepping out but do it while serving a dish of revenge. The plan is to show he’s moved on, he’s happy, and he’s in love.

Sass and Reed start the pretend relationship that starts with an innocent kiss. The kiss ends up being much more than innocent, it is an eye opener. As their pretend relationship progresses, their real feelings and emotions start to surface. They are falling in love.

Any relationship takes work. What seems easy is anything but easy. Reed and Sass will have to deal with a nasty ex, a pissed off brother, and the misconceptions about their fake relationship.

Reed and Sass were meant for one another. They have the passion, the respect, and real love for one another.

Laramie Briscoe wrote a charming romance that kept me glued to the pages. I would highly recommend Sass.

DARE ME TRAILER: https://youtu.be/9W7AnPtH_cc

Tracey’s Review

“Okay, but just so you know, I’m not going to fall in love with you, Holt Hamilton. It’s never going to happen. We can end this here and chalk it up to a night of crazy drinking. We can walk away with no expectations for more, and no hard feelings….So if you’re looking for a girlfriend that turns into a fiancée that turns into a wife, we’d best just end this here, because that’s not me. I’m not that girl.”

It starts with a dare. Because, what self-respecting woman says no to a dare? The thing about a dare, though, is the consequences. And those can be far different than what’s expected…

I was intrigued by the idea of DARE ME by Rebecca Shea from the moment that the blurb was released. I love a little bit of mystery with my romance, and this book seemed like it would deliver in spades. And deliver, it does, in every possible way.

Saige Phillips has had more than her share of drama and heartbreak in her life. Losing her father at a young age has left Saige afraid to open her heart again, fearful of the vulnerability of giving everything to another person, only to be crushed. When a night out with her friends results in a dare that she just can’t refuse, Saige isn’t about to get attached. But Holt Hamilton, her boss and the object of the dare, isn’t so cavalier.

“Holt, this is just drinks. That’s all.” But her eyes tell me she wants more.
I lean closer to her. “It’s never just drinks, Saige.”

Because Holt has had his eye on Saige, and he’s in it for more than a casual hook-up. But Holt is keeping secrets, ones that he can never share with Saige, because finding them out would mean the end of anything between them.

Holt Hamilton is not the average book heartthrob. Besides being sexy, intense, and driven, he’s also a man of integrity, a man that wants to give Saige the love and the peace that has been missing from her life for so long. Yes, he’s got secrets that he cannot reveal to Saige, but everything he does, he does out of a sense of responsibility for her welfare. I really enjoyed seeing him and Saige work out their relationship, watching each of them evolve in ways that they had not anticipated. I love, too, that Rebecca has written Saige as a self-sufficient, if sometimes vulnerable, heroine, recognizing her flaws and owning up to them. That she has dealt with so much at such a young age, and is still fighting to find her sense of self, her peace, is hopeful.

DARE ME is full of spark and steam, coupled with deep emotion and resilience. I was hooked from the moment that I turned the first page, and sped through it like it was my favorite dessert. Rebecca has given us a book that is an easy 4.5 stars, and one that I will savor for a long time to come. Don’t miss out on this one; take the dare, and bump it to the top of your TBR.
