As the son of the infamous boss of the DeAngelo family, I have merciless duties expected of me. The public labels me a monster, a man without a soul, and one hated by many.
Theyโ€™re not wrong, and Iโ€™m not sorry for it.
When my father orders me to marry a longtime enemyโ€™s daughter to settle a score between our families, she did what any smart woman with a beating heart would do.
She ran.
So, I found her.
She tries to negotiate for her freedom, but despite being inexplicably drawn to the deviant woman, I refuse her pitiful bribes with pleasure.
I still have a job to do, and Iโ€™ll make her tell me her familyโ€™s secrets, turning a treacherous situation into a game of hatred.
A code of silence will be broken.
Lines will be crossed.
Iโ€™ll promise her freedom to get the answers I need, but Iโ€™ll burn this city to the ground before I let her go.

New Release + Release Blitz: Flirtasaurus by Erin Mallon

Flirtasaurus - RB Banner


โ€œ
Flirtasaurus is fantastic, flirty fun! Full of fabulous banter, clever characters and a delicious romance!”
– Lauren Blakely, #1 New York Times Bestselling author

Flirtasaurus, an all-new not-to-be-missed workplace romantic comedy from debut author Erin Mallon is available now!

Flirtasaurus_Ebook_Amazon

My name is Calliope and “I bone for a living.” Kidding. I am studying to be a paleontologist though. It’s the only thing I’ve ever wanted to be, and I have finally landed the perfect museum internship to make all of my dino-loving dreams come true.

Trouble is, everyone wants me to be a gentle, loving sort of creature, but I’m more of the T-Rex type by nature – the kind who is determined to stomp and tear her way through any obstacle in order to get what she wants.

But when a sexy, rumbly-voiced astronomer plummets into my orbit and threatens to break open my hard little heart, my career and my whole way of looking at the world is suddenly on the line.

The dinosaurs didn’t see their asteroid coming.

And I sure as hell wasn’t prepared for mine.

New Release + Release Blitz: Twisted Circles by Claire Contreras

Twisted Circles by New York Times bestselling author, Claire Contreras, is now live!

When someone tells you who you are, do you believe them?

The first question the cops asked me was if anything out of the ordinary happened to me lately.

When I woke up this morning in the room of a mental institution I couldn’t remember a thing – not my name nor how I got there. Not how I left or how I ended up in that interrogation room.

The only thing I knew came from the contents inside my bag. A wallet, a student ID, a key that opened an unknown door, and two notebooks.

They tell me my name. It matches my IDs.

They tell me my story. I shut my eyes and try to piece it together, but can’t.

They tell me why they picked me up in the first place. They thought I was my sister. My brain stays stuck there. I try to rewind and fast-forward, as if my memories were on a videotape, but it’s no use. I can’t recall having a sister.

They put me back in the car and drop me off in front of a mansion they call The Manor and I discover what the mysterious key in my backpack opens the front door, and just as quickly wish I’d never unlocked it at all.

Twisted Circles is a complete standalone that takes place in the same “world” as Half-Truths.

New Release + Release Blitz: Rate A Date by Monica Murphy

The all new standalone in the Dating series by New York Times Bestselling author Monica Murphy is LIVE!

Eleanor Murray is tired.

Tired of going on awkward dates. Tired of meeting men who just arenโ€™t that into her. Tired of being set up on blind dates by her well-meaning friends.

She is a believer of true love, of finding that happily ever after, and she wants it. She deserves it. But at the rate sheโ€™s going, sheโ€™s pretty sure itโ€™s never going to happen.

Until a friend creates a profile for Eleanor on a new dating app. At first, sheโ€™s reluctant. Dating apps arenโ€™t the way to finding true love, are they? But then she makes a connection on Rate a Date, and this gorgeous, confident guy almost seems too good to be trueโ€ฆ

Mitch Anderson has a secret. 

Heโ€™s just moved to Las Vegas for his high profile job and after years of playing the field, heโ€™s looking for a serious relationship. He wants to find a woman who likes him for who he is, not what he does. Meeting Eleanor on the dating app, heโ€™s intrigued. Meeting her in real life while sheโ€™s in town for a bachelorette weekend, he completely falls for her. Now heโ€™s in way over his head.

Their chemistry is combustible. They canโ€™t keep their hands off each other. But will Eleanor forgive him when she finds out who he really is?

New Release + Release Blitz: Join the Club by Lani Lynn Vale

Release Date: July 14

There are a few lessons one has to learn for themselves. Then there are the lessons that most people donโ€™t have to learn because itโ€™s just not done.


For instance, most people know instinctively that they shouldnโ€™t crave the mother of their brotherโ€™s child.

Bourne Pena isnโ€™t most men.

Bourne does everything he can to fight the attraction he feels for Delanie, but in the end, his refusal to go there almost ends up costing him his life.

***

Delanie Davidsdottir just wanted to forget. One night, she wanted to feel like a normal human being.

That one night changes her life and gives her a son that becomes her heart and soul. From that point forward, she does her level best to keep her head on straight and not make any more mistakes.

And falling for her childโ€™s father’s twin brotherโ€”say that three times fastโ€” would be a mistake. Not only is he Trouble with a capital T, heโ€™s also a SWAT officer that puts his life on the line every single day.

She canโ€™t take another loss like the one she suffered once before.

Then again, Delanie never encountered a man like Bourne Pena before, either.

New Release + Release Blitz: After All by Kristen Proby

The last sizzling novel in Kristen Proby’s Romancing Manhattan series finds a widower falling deeply in love again with a woman who has scars of her own.

After All by USA Today, New York Times, & Wall Street Journal bestseller, Kristen Proby, is now live

When Carter Shawโ€™s wife died five years ago, he was left to pick up the pieces not only of his own broken heart but also that of his devastated eight-year-old daughter, Gabbyโ€”leaving him with no time for anything else, let alone dating. But recently, Carter has noticed women again and soon even begins dating. No one has stuck around for long, mostly thanks to one very angry Gabby.

Nora Hayes has worked as Carterโ€™s assistant for years. Recently divorced herself, Nora spends many hours at the office and helping Carter with his daughter whom she adores. Despite loving her job and being wrapped up in the Shaw family, Noraโ€™s never given her handsome, kind workaholic boss a second thought, especially in the romance department.

But then the snowstorm of the century hits, and Nora finds herself stranded at work with Carter overnight. And suddenly, she sees Carter in a whole new, sexy light. The sadness thatโ€™s lived in his eyes for so long has now been replaced with pure, unadulterated lustโ€”and Nora isnโ€™t quite sure what to do about it. For after the pain of her divorce, she never thought she would give love a second chance.

Carter and Nora have always believed in never combining business with pleasure. But how can they possibly deny the all-consuming chemistry between them…?

About Kristen:

Kristen was born and raised in a small resort town in her beloved Montana. In her mid-twenties, she decided to stretch her wings and move to the Pacific Northwest, where she made her home for more than a dozen years. 

During that time, Kristen wrote many romance novels and joined organizations such as RWA and other small writing groups. She spent countless hours in workshops, and more mornings than she can count up before the dawn so she could write before going to work. She submitted many manuscripts to agents and editors alike, but was always told no. In the summer of 2012, the self-publishing scene was new and thriving, and Kristen had one goal: to publish just one book. It was something she longed to cross off of her bucket list.

Not only did she publish one book, sheโ€™s since published close to thirty titles, many of which have hit the USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists. She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series. 

Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana with their two pugs and two cats.

Ashley’s Review
Diamonds in the Rough is Book 2 in the Diamonds are Forever Trilogy and lets just say this story packed a punch!

Charmaine continues to elevate this series with this book. Iโ€™ve never went from loving a character to loathing one as much as I did Maxime. That right there is true writing craft! I was absolutely appalled by his actions yet still want his character redeemed.

This story picks up where Diamonds in the Dust left off. This story was completely mesmerizing and I read it within 4 hours. I literally couldnโ€™t put it down!

Great storyline. Excellent character development. Huge revelations and twists. Cliffhanger.

This book is was fantastic and I highly recommend it!!

5 stars!!!

New Release + Release Blitz: The Rivals by Vi Keeland

Title: The Rivals
Author: Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance 
Release Date: July 13, 2020

Blurb

The feud
between Weston Lockwood and me started at the altar.
Only
neither of us attended the wedding, and the nuptials happened decades before
either of us was born.
Our
grandfathers had been best friends and business partners, at least up until my
grandfatherโ€™s wedding dayโ€”when his bride-to-be blurted out she couldnโ€™t marry
him because she was also in love with Westonโ€˜s grandfather.
The two men
spent years fighting over Grace Copeland, who also happened to be their third
business partner.  But in the end, neither man could steal half of her
heart away from the other.
Eventually,
they all went their separate ways.  Our
grandfathers married other women, and the two men became one of the biggest
business rivals in history.
Our fathers
continued the family tradition of feuding. 
And then Weston and I did, too.
For the
most part, we kept as much distance as possible.
Until the
day the woman who started the feud diedโ€”and unexpectedly left one of the most
valuable hotels in the world to our grandfathers to share.
Now Iโ€™m
stuck in a hotel with the man I was born to hate, trying to unravel the mess
our families inherited.
As usual,
it didnโ€™t take long for us to be at each otherโ€™s throats.
Weston
Lockwood was everything I hated: tall, smart, cocky, and too gorgeous for his
own good.  We were fire and ice. 
But that
shouldnโ€™t be an issue. Our families were used to being at war. There was just
one minor problem, though.   Every time
Weston and I fought, we somehow wound up in bed.
