Evangeline Walker knows how quickly everything can change.
But nothing can prepare her for the moment she meets Rafe Hunter.
Intense gray eyes.
Wicked smile.
Tattoos inked on his skin just begging to be touched. 
Those aren’t the reasons Eva should stay away from him though.
The fact he’s the bassist for America’s hottest rock band is the reason she should run and never look back.
Everyone knows the greatest love stories all start somewhere.
… this is their beginning.

Storyline: 4.5 stars
Characters: 4.5 stars
Heat Factor: 4.5 stars
Overall Rating: 4.5 stars

“We all have our Demons to bear.”

Great start to an epic new series!! L A Cotton has again set the scene for a story that’ll rivet her readers and leave them savoring for more.

Having endured a very difficult and emotional year, Evangeline “Eva” Walker is determined to rise from the ashes and regain control of her life.

Rafe Hunter has it all… fame, fortune and wicked good looks. Tattooed and pierced he personifies the bad boy rocker.

When Eva’s best friend Molly enters her into a popular talent showcase, Eva is both excited but scared. Determined not to let her or her family down Eva finds herself gaining momentum and exposure within the community.

What she doesn’t expect is to meet a mysterious guy backstage that captures her attention and her heart.

This is the first book in an all new rock star romance.

I’m loving Rafe and Eva and cannot wait to see more of their story.

Release Blitz + Review: A Fairbanks Affair by Katy Regnery – Odds Are Good Series – Book 3

 

New York Times bestselling author Katy Regnery returns with the third book in her Odds-Are-Good series!

 

Three nights. Two of us. One bed. Zero chance at love.
Boston businesswoman, Faye Findley, has devoted the last decade of her life to work, leaving no time for romance. Tired of being a 30-year-old virgin, Faye answers an ad in The Odds Are Good magazine, hoping to turn over her v-card to a sexy Alaskan she’ll never see again. 
Successful distillery owner, Trevor Starling, was left betrayed and broken-hearted when his brother and fiancée had sex the night before Trevor’s wedding. Anticipating a lonely New Year’s celebration, he places an ad in The Odds Are Good for a no-strings attached weekend of hot sex. 
Though mistaken identity threatens to derail everything, the chemistry between Faye and Trevor turns out to be stronger than either could have imagined. And what started out as a one-and-done mission becomes much more complicated.

Michel’s Review
A Fairbanks Affair by Katy Regnery is the third book in the Odds- Are – Good Series. This Alaska themed romance series is a pure joy to read. Katy Regnery has a gift of creating engaging, fun, sexy, and emotional romances that today’s contemporary woman can relate to. When I read the synopsis for this book my first thought were a thirty year old virgin woman was a bit far fetched but once the reader meets Faye Findley it all works.
*
 The first thing that caught Faye’s attention while waiting in the dentist office was The Odds -Are -Good magazine opened to the personal classified. How could she ignore an ad that read….
  …..Three nights. Two of us. One bed. Zero chance at love….
*
Impossible for Faye resist an add like that. She has been so focused on her career that she overlooked her basic personal life. She concentrated on keeping the family business going after her parents deaths and raising her younger sister. She made her choices, the company has grown and become the leading alcohol distributer throughout the world. She sacrificed her personal life while her relationship with her sister has become strained do to work. Ten years has taken it’s toll on her relationships. When she sees the Fairbanks personal add it gives her an opportunity not only to “take care of necessary personal business” but also acquire another distillery. A quick Fairbanks affair with no strings is perfect until she meets Trevor Starling.
*
Trevor Starling has been betrayed, burned, and broken. He has no desire to get into another relationship. He decides to advertise for a New Years holiday date with no strings attached. When he received several responses to his ad he quickly deleted most of them until he comes to one ad.  The response is classy, straightforward, and acknowledged her understanding of his date criteria.  After seeing her picture how could he turn the opportunity down?
*
When Faye and Trevor finally meet the fun begins. First there is the mistaken identity from the Odds Are Good ad and the distillery. The New Year is going to be more than a celebration filled with fun sex, lost virginity, and fireworks but also an eye opening emotional lesson in learning how to connect intimately with other people. They will both learn to come to terms with the past and strained relationships. The best lesson of all is learning how to love completely and learning to accept love unconditionally.
*
Katy Regnery has once again delivered a fantastic romance that kept me fully engaged in her story. I closed the book with a smile and happy heart!

Blurb:
I might still carry my V-card, but I know exactly what I want in a man. Smart, charming and oh-so-skilled. Too bad I haven’t found him yet.

But maybe he’s found me. .

Because when my charming, laid-back, next-door neighbor discovers a secret list I keep, he volunteers to work through every single item on it. .

Including the last one — at the end, we walk away and stay friends. .

I say yes to his offer, and that’s when I discover another side to him. .

A side I adore. A side I crave. He’s commanding, intense, and everything I’ve ever wanted. .

But as we check things off one by one, I find myself breaking the most important rule of all. And I have no idea what it will do to my heart.

 

 

Excerpt:
I broke the hold he had on my hip. I spun around and took a few steps backward to the kitchen counter, feeling naughty, daring.

From a few feet away, I stared at my friend with new eyes, drinking in the cut of his jaw, the fire in his eyes, the expanse of his hard chest.

My eyes roamed over him. He was fully dressed, but fully revealed too. The outline of his arousal was visible through his pants. Thick and firm.

My mouth watered as I stared at the shape of it.

But tonight I wanted something else.

Something for me.

I didn’t need to start at the beginning of my list. The first three items set the tone. I’d cross them off as I worked through the others.

I knew where to start.

“Okay, then. Now that we’ve tackled the rules of engagement, I’d like to try number four, please.”

Cover Reveal + Pre-Order: Say It Ain’t So by Lani Lynn Vale

 








He should’ve never left his house. He should’ve stayed at home. He has a legitimate excuse—he’s running a fever and he’s fairly sure he’s developing pneumonia. He should have called in sick…but he doesn’t.

 

 

 

He goes to work, because his team is relying on him.

 

 

 

First, he has to sign about eight thousand calendars—all from women who purchased said calendars to benefit the Fallen Officer fundraiser. And when he’s done with that, he has to endure a television interview along with the rest of the SWAT team seeing as they made national news with their ‘Hot SWAT’ calendar that’s sold a million copies to women all over the world.

 

 

 

Needless to say, when Samuel Adams walks into the pharmacy hours later, he only has one thing on his mind. Ibuprofen.

 

Sadly, he never gets to the Ibuprofen. Mostly because before he gets there, he finds a junkie waving a gun around threatening to kill anybody that moves.

 

 

 

He’s running a fever. That has to be the reason that the girl in the corner begins cursing up a storm and drawing the junkie’s attention. Has to be.

 

***

 

Stop it, stop it, stop it!
 

 

She tells herself to take a deep breath. Tells herself that she needs to calm down. Tells herself that if she doesn’t get her act under control, things are going to get ugly.

 

 

 

And, of course, that’s when the curse words start flying.

 

 

 

The more nervous she gets, the worse her Tourette’s becomes. Which is, of course, why she stands up and gives the man a perfect target.

 

 

 

Thank God that the coughing giant in the corner makes the same move and saves her life.

 

 

 

And how does she repay him? By calling him every awful word in the dictionary.

 

 

 

Thank you, Tourette’s.

Good girl Isabella wouldn’t miss the birth of her sister’s baby for the world. So when her car breaks down and one of the bikers next door offers her a ride to Vegas, it’s too tempting to pass up.

Michel’s Review

Renegade by Chantal Fernando is the second book in Knights of Fury MC series. Although this is a biker series, it has more of a milder tone rather than the darker themed activities that are in most MC books.  Renegade is more of a charming boy next door romance with a little of drama and suspense added in to make the story a bit more intriguing.

Izzy has lived next door to the Knights of Fury MC and has never had any issues with them. When her sister goes into labor, she is in a rush to get to her. Her car breaks down and her neighbors, The Knights step in. They rescue her and take her to her sister so she doesn’t miss the birth of her niece. Thus begins the courtship of Izzy and Renny.

This charming romance had the right amount steam and the right amount of swoon. It may not be the most intense romance or thrilling MC romance but it did leave me with a big smile and happy heart.

Chantal Fernando always delivers a romance that warms the soul.

Michel’s Review

Two Thousand Lines is the first book I have read by author Michelle Jester. This edgy YA novel touches upon topics of abuse and may have emotional triggers. The title of the book is taken from the punishments Olivia received from an early age. Mr. Melvin, her abusive stepfather, did everything in two thousands.

The storyline flashes back from the past to the present. Readers witness the disturbing abuse Olivia has to endure throughout her youth while trying to overcome the past in the present.

Olivia meets her neighbor’s grandson Luke after her death. Luke has heard all about Olivia through letters from his grandmother. Although he felt like he knew a lot about Olivia there was so much more that the words in the letters could describe. He wants to get to know her better and build a friendship but knows Olivia still needs time to heal from her past.

The author paints a vivid picture of Olivia’s life and has the reader wanting Olivia to overcome her past and grasp a happy life. This is Olivia’s story of survival and the courage to move on.

At times the story was a bit confusing and the pacing was a bit off but overall I was thoroughly involved with this gripping, heartbreaking story.
