Release Blitz + Review: Savage Collision by Gwyn McNamee

Posted on 09/01/2016 by shellbellereads

GENRE: Contemporary Romance

The last thing I expect when I walk into The Hawkeye Club is to fall head over heels in lust. It’s supposed to be a rescue mission. I have to get my baby sister off the pole, into some clothes, and out of the grasp of the pussy peddler who somehow manipulated her into stripping. But the moment I see Savage Hawke and verbally spar with him, my ability to remain rational flies out the window and my libido takes center stage. I’ve never wanted a relationship—my time is better spent focusing on taking down the scum running this city—but what I want and what I need are apparently two different things.

Danika Eriksson storms into my office in her high heels and on her high horse. Her holier-than-thou attitude and accusations should offend me, but instead, I can’t get her out of my head or my heart. Her incomparable drive, take-no-prisoners attitude, and blatant honesty captivate me and hold me prisoner. I should steer clear, but my self-preservation instinct is apparently dead—which is exactly what our relationship will be once she knows everything. It’s only a matter of time.

The truth doesn’t always set you free. Sometimes, it just royally screws you.

Tracey’s Review

When I agree to read a book by a new author, there’s always a chance that it will not be what I am expecting. There’s a safety in taking on books that are a known quantity, and mixing it up both keeps things fresh and also opens the door to disappointment. When I was given the opportunity to read SAVAGE COLLISION by author Gwyn McNamee, I was in. I’m a sucker for antagonists-to-lover reads, and this book seemed to fill the bill.

SAVAGE COLLISION is more than just the typical romance read, though. While this book definitely packs plenty of heat, there is much more to it, which I really appreciated. There is angst aplenty, crime, and intrigue to go along with the relationship that develops between Danika and Savage. Gwyn has done a good job of marrying all of these elements to give readers a book that will draw them in from the very first, and keep them reading until the last page.

I have to say that we’re also introduced to some very interesting supporting characters here, and I would be more than happy to see some additional books in this series about them. SAVAGE COLLISION is a solid 4-star read for me, and I look forward to seeing much more of Gwyn’s writing in future.

Gwyn McNamee is an attorney, writer, wife, and mother (to one human baby and two fur babies). Originally from the Midwest, Gwyn relocated to her husband’s home town of Las Vegas in 2015 and is enjoying her respite from the cold and snow. Gwyn has been writing down her crazy stories and ideas for years and finally decided to share them with the world. She loves to write stories with a bit of suspense and action mingled with romance and heat.

When she isn’t either writing or voraciously devouring any books she can get her hands on, Gwyn is busy adding to her tattoo collection, golfing, and stirring up trouble with her perfect mix of sweetness and sarcasm (usually while wearing heels). An admitted shoe whore, Gwyn’s closet rivals Carrie Bradshaw’s and is constantly expanding.

Gwyn’s debut novel, Savage Collision, the first book in The Hawke Family Series, releases September 1, 2016.

Wide Open Spaces

Shooting Stars Series – Book 2

By Aurora Rose Reynolds

Release Date: August 29, 2016

Buy: Amazon / Amazon UK

Synopsis

That moment your life changes.

That moment that changes your life.

That moment you love someone more than you love yourself.

That was the moment we gave our son up for adoption and the moment I was left bare. A wide-open space that would forever be empty.

There are moments that define you as a person, moments that prove just how strong you are, moments you push yourself to keep going forward when all you really want to do is give up. It was in one of those moments when I reached out and found him waiting for me.

When Shelby Calder left home fifteen years ago, she never planned on returning to the Alaskan town she left behind. But after the death of her grandfather and a bitter divorce, she hopes going home will be a fresh start for her and her ten-year-old son, Hunter. She wanted to return to the place that made her happy until her own personal demons forced her to run away from Cordova and Zach Watters.

Zach Watters has made a lot of mistakes in his life. But when he sees Shelby Calder, looking more beautiful than ever, standing outside her childhood home, he promises himself that letting her go won’t be a mistake he ever makes again.

Some things never change and love is one of them.

Excerpt

“Then why did you marry her?” I ask, wondering if I’m really ready to go there with him, but it’s too late to change my mind. The question is out, and as much as I don’t want to know the answer, I need to know the answer.

“I wanted my kids to have what I didn’t. I believed that, with time, we could find a way to be happy.”

“Maybe we shouldn’t talk about this,” I say, changing my mind as nausea and jealousy turn my stomach.

“You loved your ex, baby. I know you did. I didn’t have that. I wanted it but never had it with her or anyone else since you.”

“Please stop.” Feeling tears burn the back of my eyes for him, I close them tight. Max and I were happy and in love in the beginning, and I hate knowing Zach never had that… the kids didn’t see or feel that.

“I wish my past didn’t hurt you so much. I’m sorry for hurting you the way I have. If I could take your pain away, I would.” He gathers me against him and tucks my head under his chin.

“As sad as it makes me, I wish you would have had that with her or someone else,” I say, and his arms tighten so much that my lungs compress.

“I don’t,” he growls.

“What?” I wheeze, and he loosens his grip just enough for me to take a breath.

“I don’t want to think about what would have happened if I had been with her or someone else when you came back. I don’t want to face that demon inside of me that knows what I would have done.”

“Zach—”

“I’ve been in love with you for almost eighteen years. I carried your missing pieces around inside me for that long, Shelby. I know it would have made me an asshole, but there is only one you. You’re the only place I’ve ever called home.” His voice is thick with emotion, and that wound inside of me fills up a little bit more. I hate his words, but a part of me is relieved he feels that way, that he feels so deeply for me.

“There’s been a wide open space inside me since we placed Samuel and I left you behind. But, from the moment I came back, it’s slowly been filling up.”

He goes quiet at my words. Several moments pass before he speaks again. “One day, that space will be full. I swear, with everything I have in me, I will make sure it’s overflowing and that you never feel empty again.”

Michel’s Review

Aurora Rose Reynolds takes the readers back to Cordova, Alaska. Cordova is a small fishing community that revolves around the summer fishing season. During the winter there isn’t much to do. This small close knit community is the ideal place if you are looking for peace and quiet. After a nasty divorce Shelby Calder is ready for peace and quiet. She wants to raise her ten year old son, Hunter, in Cordova. She wants to return to the home that made her happy until she ran because of her own personal demons and Zach Watters.

Zach and Shelby were high school sweethearts that ended up with an unwanted pregnancy. After grueling deliberations and truthful insights into their lives, they chose to give their son up for adoption. It crushed them both and they didn’t have the maturity to handle all the emotions and despair that went along with the decision.

Fifteen years later they are both now mature adults. They can look at their decision from a different perspective. They both have their own children now and know all the responsibilities that go along with parenting. They both may be parents but they are both also single. Neither Zach nor Shelby has been able to love completely like they did when they were teenagers.

Zach and Shelby have their second chance. A chance that not only will fulfill their lives but their children lives as well. Everything is possible in Wide Open Spaces… including a bear for breakfast.

Aurora Rose Reynolds once again delivered an emotional, charming second chance romance. I loved every moment I spent with Zach and Shelby in Cordova. I can’t wait to see more of them in the upcoming book in this series. Their daughter is getting married. Another great romance coming from Cordova and Aurora Rose Reynolds.

Cupcake Overload (Cupcakes #2)
By Bethany Lopez
Romantic Comedy/Suspense

Add the book to Goodreads

CUPCAKE OVERLOAD Synopsis:

One night I was out with my girls enjoying a much needed ladies night while wondering if one more dirty martini would push me over the edge. The next thing I knew, I was in the club’s bathroom listening to a woman screaming, “No,” and a man’s voice growling, “I know you want it.”

That asshole picked the wrong restroom, in the wrong club, at the wrong time.

Little did I know the asshole was Cade’s VP, and although we saved that woman from his clutches that night, she’d be found floating in a motel pool a month later.

Running a PI firm is a lot harder than taking pictures for one, especially when your professional life spills over into your personal one. I’m going through cupcakes like our new puppy goes through piddle pads, and if I’m not careful there’s bound to be a Cupcake Overload.

Tracey’s Review

I like my books angsty and full of emotion as much as the next person, but sometimes you just want to kick back with a read that takes things a little easier, one that is a pure feel-good book that makes you smile. The Cupcake series by author Bethany Lopez does just that, and CUPCAKE OVERLOAD, the second book in the series is just as delightful and as much fun as the first book was.

Lila Compton is back at it again, doing what she does best. As a PI, she’s keeping plenty busy with the cheaters and philanderers that seem to run rampant in her small town, but this book brings a little something extra. When a young woman that Lila and her girls ‘rescued’ from the clutches of a gnarly biker dude shows up face-down in a swimming pool, Lila is immediately on the case. Things are a little trickier, because said biker dude is none other than the VP of Lila’s hot times a billion lover man, Cade, and is claiming innocence. With Cade and the ladies on the trail, things are as crazy as one might expect, but, as always, amidst all the action, Lila is still making time for her beloved cupcakes.

I am thoroughly enjoying this series, due in large part to the author’s wicked sense of humor that is apparent in every interaction, in Lila’s inner dialogue, and in the shenanigans that abound. Bethany Lopez continues to write Lila as a self-sufficient, I’m not afraid of anything kind of woman, and her antics are a trip to follow. Throw in the lovable group of friends, her two endearing kids, and Cade, the man that shows her what it means to be cherished, but in a totally hot kind of way, and you’ve got a winner. I’m always looking forward to another book in this series, and give this one a solid 4 stars for keeping me super-interested, super-hungry (because, cupcakes!), and super-entertained. If you’re looking for a fun series with non-stop laughs and action, you can’t go wrong with this one.

Show Me How

Thatch Series – Book 3

By Molly McAdams

Buy: Amazon / B & N / IBooks / Kobo

Synopsis

After her first love was ripped from her grasp four years earlier, Charlie Easton was sure she would never be able to trust anyone with the shattered pieces of her heart again. That is, until Deacon Carver forces himself into her life, and makes those pieces swirl in chaos. But Charlie doesn’t know how to let him in… until a stranger stumbles upon a notebook filled with her innermost secrets, and shows her how.

Deacon Carver is known for sleeping his way through the town of Thatch, as well as the surrounding cities—something he used to take pride in. But that persona has haunted Deacon ever since he decided to leave that life behind for the girl he wants more than anything: Charlie Easton.

But when another girl falls into Deacon’s life, allowing him to be himself without judgment for his past, will their conversations hinder his relationship with Charlie … even if he’s never seen her?

_____________________________

Michel’s Review

Oh how the mighty have fallen. Deacon Carver, the legendary player in Thatch series has fallen hard for a woman he can’t stand. A woman that betrayed his best friends, used her brother, and has returned home to use them up once again. Charlie Easton may be one of his best friends little sister but she is not going to win him over.

Like most things, there are always two sides to every story. What Deacon perceives as betrayals are Charlie’s burdens to carry. The love of her life is dead, he broke her heart and left her pregnant and alone. He used her, dumped her, and was engaged to another woman before he died suddenly. He never had a chance to meet his son. That was the beginning of more betrayals to come. Her mother gained custody of her child and abandon them both. Her brother gained custody and forced her to go away to school while he raised her son. Now she’s finished with school and back in town. She’s determined to get custody of her son and make a good life for them both. She never anticipated Deacon Carver changing her carefully mapped out plans. She has trust issues and a notorious player isn’t going to change them.

Both Charlie and Deacon are both going to experience changes in their lives. These changes are for the better. They are both going to learn to love and trust with their full hearts. A beautiful little boy is going to gain a real family that only a super hero can appreciate.

Show Me How was a great addition to the Thatch series by Molly McAdams. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Grey and Ben fell in love at thirteen and believed they’d be together forever. But three days before their wedding, the twenty-year-old groom-to-be suddenly died from an unknown heart condition, destroying his would-be-bride’s world. If it hadn’t been for their best friend, Jagger, Grey never would have made it through those last two years to graduation.

It’s true that no one has ever been able to keep Jagger—because he’s only ever belonged to Grey. While everyone else worries over Grey’s fragility, he’s the only one who sees her strength. Yet as much as he wants Grey, he knows her heart will always be with Ben. Still they can’t deny the heat that is growing between them—a passion that soon becomes too hot to handle.

Furious Rush

By S. C. Stephens

Release Date: August 23, 2016

Buy: Amazon / B & N / IBooks / Kobo

Synopsis

Too fast, too furious-and way too hot to handle . . .

Mackenzie Cox has a lot to prove. Daughter of a racing legend, she is eager to show the world that she has inherited her father’s talent in the male-dominated sport of professional motorcycle racing. The last thing Kenzie needs is to be antagonized by her rival team’s newest rider, Hayden Hayes. Plucked from the world of illegal street racing, Hayden immediately gets under Kenzie’s skin. His insinuations that Kenzie is a spoiled princess who was handed her career fuels her desire to win, and much to her surprise, Kenzie soon learns she performs better when she’s racing against Hayden.

As Kenzie and Hayden push each other on the track, the electric energy between them off the track shifts into an intense–and strictly forbidden–attraction. The only rule between their two ultra-competitive teams is zero contact. Kenzie always does her best to play by the rules, but when her team slips into a financial crisis, she has no choice but to turn to Hayden for help. The tension simmers during their secret, late-night rendezvous, but Kenzie has too much to lose to give in to her desires. Especially when she begins to doubt that Hayden has completely left his street life behind…

_________________________________

Michel’s Review

Furious Rush by S. C. Stephens is a winner.

Mackenzie Cox has a lot to prove in the world of motorcycle racing. Living in the shadows of her father, a racing legend, being a rookie in the sport as well as being the only female on the Cox Racing Team, is pure pressure. To make matters worse the Cox Racing Team is about bankrupt. The major financial problems could make or break the existence of this legendary team. Their rival competitors are the Benneti Motorsports team. There is more to it than being competitive teams, there is bad blood between them. The owner Keith Benneti is her father’s worst enemy.

Mackenzie’s rookie year has her in a complete tailspin. Her main competition is Hayden Hayes, a former street racer that rides for the Benneti team. She hates that she is immensely attracted to the enemy. There’s more to Hayden than his illegal racing past. He revs her motor in many ways. His influence makes her a better rider.

With Hayden’s sketchy past and position on the opposing team, he is off limits. Plus Cox Racing is experiencing sabotage every race day. Is Hayden behind it? Is Benneti Motorsports behind it? The sabotage will ruin what is left of the Cox Racing Team.

When her father learns she is fraternizing with the enemy, it could very well ruin Mackenzie’s position on the team as well as her career in racing. When she’s forced to do the unthinkable to save Cox Racing. She has more to lose more than her position on the team. She may lose everything she holds dear.

Once again S. C. Stephens delivered a red hot book loaded with pure angst. I can’t wait to see what comes next.

“A great book to read on a hot night.” -Kelly Akemann, This Wacky Momma Reads!

This Entangled Teen Crush book contains multiple PDAs, after-school detentions, and gambling on the side. Warning: betting on a boyfriend is bad for your health.

Zoe Cain knows that Grant Evertide is way out of her league. So naturally, she kisses him. Out of spite. Not only is Grant her brother’s number-one nemesis, but he has zero interest in being tied down to one girl. She’s shocked—and secretly thrilled—when they start spending more time together.

Zoe’s brother claims Grant is trying to make her his “Ringer,” an oh-so-charming tradition where a popular guy dates a non-popular girl until he hooks up with her, then dumps her. Zoe threatens to neuter Grant with hedge clippers if he’s lying but Grant swears he isn’t trying to trick her. Still, that doesn’t mean Grant is the commitment type—even if winning a bet is on the line.

Michel’s Review

Zoe Cain is ready for her new school. Starting her junior year at the exclusive private school , Wilton Academy, should be a breeze. Her brother Jack, a senior has paved the way. Being a local rather than one of the privileged doesn’t bother Zoe in the least. She’s there to get a good education and maybe make her brother a little bit miserable. After all that’s what siblings do.

The first day starts out on the right foot. She meets her brother’s worst enemy, Grant Eventide. To make matters worse she kisses him. Let the fun begin.

Zoe’s brother Jack wants her to stay away from Grant. Grant’s ex girlfriend wants Zoe to stay away from Grant. Zoe’s best friend encourages her to hang out with Grant. The school is taking bets on what comes next for Grant and Zoe. Is Zoe destined to be a ringer, the girl that gets used by the popular boy and dumped when it’s time for the dance? Jack thinks so. Zoe doesn’t care. Grant is intrigued with Zoe, she keeps surprising him. All bets are on Grant. Zoe is placing her own bet on herself.

Grant doesn’t really want a girlfriend this year. He can’t stay away from Zoe. She sees him for who he really is, not who he’s supposed to be.

Zoe is confident enough to handle her junior year and Grant Eventide. He’s worth the daily detentions.

The Boyfriend Bet by Chris Cannon is a sure thing. It’s the perfect back to school book. I’m betting all the readers are going to enjoy this sassy romance as much as I did.

New YA Release: Daring The Bad Boy by Monica Murphy – An Endless Summer Novel

Posted on 08/22/2016 by shellbellereads

Daring The Bad Boy

Endless Summer Series

Genre: YA – Entangled Teen Crush

Buy: Amazon / B & N

Synopsis

Disclaimer: This Entangled Teen Crush book contains references to drinking, sexual situations, adult language, and an intense bad boy hero who will melt your heart.

Annie McFarland is sick of being a shy nobody. A session at summer camp seems like the perfect opportunity to reinvent herself—gain some confidence, kiss a boy, be whoever she wants to be. A few days in, she’s already set her sights on über-hottie Kyle. Too bad her fear of water keeps her away from the lake, where Kyle is always hanging out.

Jacob Fazio is at Camp Pine Ridge after one too many screw-ups. Junior counseling seems like punishment enough, but the rigid no-fraternizing-with-campers rules harsh his chill. When a night of Truth or Dare gets him roped into teaching Annie how to swim, she begs him to also teach her how to snag Kyle.

Late-night swim sessions turn into late-night kissing sessions…but there’s more on the line than just their hearts. If they get caught, Jake’s headed straight to juvie, but Annie’s more than ready to dare him to reveal the truth.

Michel’s Review

Monica Murphy can write a love story for every generation. She has a talent of creating characters and a compelling story that any reader of any genre will enjoy.

Daring The Bad Boy is the perfect teen romance. A shy girl meets a troubled boy. Both are at summer camp for very different reasons. Annie wants to overcome her shyness and become a more social person. Jacob has been in trouble since his mother passed away. He has been ordered by the court to work at his uncle’s summer camp or do time in juvie.

Jacob is focused on staying out of trouble. One of his uncle’s hard rules is to stay away from the campers. When he meets Annie, he can’t help but be intrigued. In many ways she doesn’t quite fit. In other ways, she stands out among the girls at camp.

When Annie persuades Jacob to give her swimming lessons and help her with another boy, a friendship begins. A friendship that leads to love. A love that could be trouble for them both.

Monica tapped into her inner teenager and delivered a book that all teenagers can relate to. I would highly recommend this book to girls ages 13 to 16 years old. It is the perfect sweet romance that any parent would approve of their daughters reading.

College is waiting, but can she turn her back on a chance for love in paradise? Find out in this short-story prequel to the well-reviewed novel “The Backup”.

Michel’s Review

When I first began reading The Pre-Season, I thought I was reading an erotic novella. After I finished this short story, I realized it was the first step in Josie Savage’s journey to becoming an independent woman. A vacation affair with an older hot Navy Seal makes her realize how important her upcoming college career is.

Josie and Elijah are perfect together in and out of bed. Their red hot affair is going to leave them both with steamy memories and fantasy material. Their lives are on two very different paths. Josie is heading off to college on the east coast at Montgomery University. Elijah is a Navy Seal. He’s bound to his duty and serves with honor.

What started out as a vacation with her superstar NFL quarterback father begins to change the dynamics in the father/ daughter relationship. Their life together has been a very rocky road. From denial to neglect, Josie’s father has always been out for himself. He craves the lime light, fast women, and hero worship. Josie just wants a father that loves her for who she is.

The relationship begins to change as the time slips away in vacation paradise. Elijah and Josie’s father are both going to have to let her go. Josie has to find the courage to leave both these dynamic men behind.

Once I got into The Backup, the first full length novel in the series, I realized how much this short story added depth to the woman Josie has become.

She wants her peers to see her as an individual rather than Joey Savage’s daughter. It doesn’t help that he bribes her roommates with new computers and threatens the guys outside her Campus Home.

Josie slowly begins to settle in. She has bonded with her roommates and it looks like freshman year is off to a great start. At her first college party she catches the attention of both quarterbacks, the starter- Mark Bishop and the backup -Runner Rarity. One is completely available and the biggest manwhore on campus, the other is taken by the meanest woman on campus. Both are super hot, but one makes her heart race. The one that is unavailable. One is a naturally talented athlete that doesn’t need football to succeed in the future and the other is an incredibly talented, hungry player waiting to take the field and make his future.

What starts out as friendship with both of these incredible guys turns into a love triangle that tests her friendships with her roommates, her reputation, and makes her a target for the meanest woman on campus.

One will steal her heart and become the most important man in her life. The other will become the best friend and strongest ally she has in school.

Fate will step in and prove which player commands the field. Fate will also test his commitment to the game. Josie will have find the strength to stay by his side and believe that this is not her father all over again.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a great introduction to a colorful, dynamic cast of characters that will play a huge role in this series. It showcased exactly how college is in the freshman year, as well as the importance of college sports. It also showcased family dynamics and how those relationships can mold our lives.

The Montgomery University Series – Book 3

Buy: Amazon

Synopsis

Montana Tierney had her college path planned. But then her father took the head-football coaching job at Montgomery University and all of her plans came crashing down. Free tuition at MU meant Montana would be going there instead of the college of her dreams. To make matters worse, she has a crush on one of the players on her dad’s new team. Mark Bishop is a notorious playboy who makes it clear to Montana that he doesn’t have time for inexperienced girlfriends. Humiliated, Montana is moving on when Mark admits to himself and to Montana that he has feelings for her. Just as it seems Montana will end up with the hottest guy on the team, a brutal on-field injury threatens to end Montana and Mark’s relationship before it can even begin.

Book two of the well-received “Montgomery University” series of New Adult romances.
**contains plot-driven detailed consensual sex scenes**

Michel’s Review

Montana Tierney’s freshman year is quite different from the year she expected. Rather than going to Notre Dame and spending her freshman year with her boyfriend, she’s going to a small university on the east coast. Her father took the job as head football coach. The tuition is free and her family is close by. She’s left the midwest and her friends behind. Being the youngest child in the family, her siblings are pursuing their own careers and lives. She’s stuck in a world that revolves around football. Her roommates are quite different from her, one is outgoing ,super friendly, and tied to the football team through her boyfriend. The other is withdrawn, moody, and anti social on a good day. She’s in the same Campus Home that the football team resides in as well. She can’t escape her life. After her long distance boyfriend breaks up with her, she is determined to try to fit in and pave her own path.

Mark Bishop is finishing out his senior year quite differently. Rather than being the starting quarterback, the new coach has moved him to playing tight end. He’s not overly sure about the position but at least he’s starting. His natural athletic ability and love for the game is all that matters. After his senior year he will be done with football. He will take his place in his family’s wealthy world.

He befriends the coach’s daughter and it leads his senior year down a new path. The friendship is tested by the sexual tension that lies beneath the surface. She is also forbidden territory.

Montana is testing her new independence and isn’t making the best decisions. Rather than trying to find a nice guy to hang out with, she’s flirting with the wrong kind of guys. She’s attracted to Mark Bishop and knows he’s off limits. She can’t keep herself away from the sexy football player.

Montana’s mistakes and relationship with Mark turn into something much bigger than either anticipated. Some of her mistakes could endanger her father’s position as coach and hurt the football program. When she finally makes the right choice, fate steps in and changes the path once again.

Mark and Montana are going to be tested in every way. Both are going to struggle to find what is more important, football or love. When it comes down to it, there isn’t really a choice.

Once again I was glued to the pages waiting to see how the Montgomery coeds survived another year at Montgomery University. All of the dynamic characters have captured my heart. Football isn’t the only thing happening on campus. Love is in the air and ready to score.

The Comeback

Montgomery University Series – Book 4

Buy: Amazon

Synopsis

Maddy Cassidy has hit her stride at Montgomery University. She has great friends, stellar grades, and sees no bumps on the road to a drama-free junior year. Classes haven’t even started when sparks fly between her and Elijah Hart, a moody Navy SEAL who’s landed in academia after a devastating battlefield experience. He’s not planning on falling for anyone until Maddy’s looks and brains start to get under his skin. Will someone as beautiful as she is be able to look past his life-changing injury? And will Elijah’s passion for Maddy be able to protect her from an unexpected danger?
**Contains plot-driven descriptive consensual sex**

Michel’s Review

Maddy Cassidy could care less about football. She is there for the academics, a degree in physics. Her social life doesn’t revolve around the football team like her roommate Josie Savage. She’s really not interested in dating. She just wants to complete her junior year with stellar grades.

Junior year is starting out quite differently than expected. One of her former roommates has moved on to become an exchange student in London. Their new roommate Nella, an exchange student from London, is annoying. To top it off, her first encounter with one of the other students at the swimming pool has left her seething. Not a good start.

Elijah Hart is at Montgomery University, as a guest professor, after he was severely injured. His career as a Navy Seal has ended quite differently than he thought it would. He’s grateful he’s alive after losing his leg. Fate has stepped in and landed him at the same university as Josie Savage. Their torrid vacation affair turned into a close friendship.

He was shocked when the sexy coed he insulted at the pool is none other than one of Josie’s roommate. He finds Maddy intriguing. He wants to get to know her better. He didn’t count on the complications that come from Maddy and Josie’s history. He’s willing to do anything to get Maddy in his bed and in his life.

Life at Montgomery University is anything but boring. Maddy has become this season’s poster girl for the football team. One the players is head over heels in love with her. She’s not attracted to him, she’s attracted to the new sexy, egotistical professor.

As Elijah and Maddy’s relationship heats up, so does her notoriety. She is trying to dissuade a volatile football player attentions, repair her friendship with Josie, learn to tolerate Nella, and keep her grades up. She’s under pressure.

The pressure escalates as her relationship with Elijah becomes more solid. What neither of them anticipated was a very dangerous stalker determined to have Maddy for himself.

It’s a life or death situation. Elijah may be a former Navy Seal but it may not be enough to save Maddy.

I could not put this book down. This book turned into a pure romantic suspense novel that had me on the edge of my seat with my heart racing a mile a minute. Kathryn Renard found her niche writing this book. It was fantastic. I am looking forward to more from this dynamic author. Her writing talent is blossoming.

Excerpt

~Franka~

“You need to leave,” I declared.

His brows drew together a moment before his expression showed clearly that comprehension had dawned.

Sadly, comprehension might have dawned but he didn’t leave.

He crouched by the bed and offered in a soft voice, “You need me to carry you to the other room so you can have a bit of privacy?”

Dear goddess.

He thought I needed a chamber pot.

But…

What was happening to my face?

Dear goddess!

The heat I felt in my cheeks could be nothing other than me blushing.

I didn’t blush. I’d never blushed. Not even when I’d set about seducing my first lover at age sixteen.

I needed to be quit of this man as soon as possible.

“No…I…do…not,” I bit out.

“Sure?” he asked kindly.

“I need you to leave, Noctorno,” I used his full name in an effort to irritate, something that worked if the flare in his eyes was any indication, “so Josette can prepare me. We’re away to Kristian’s this morning.”

Another drawing of his brows before he asked, “What?”

“After my toilette, Josette and I are to my sleigh so we can begin our journey to my brother’s home.”

His eyes got bigger as his mouth inquired peculiarly, “Are you high?”

“No,” I answered his ridiculous question unnecessarily, “Indeed, I’m low. As you can see since I’m lying abed.”

For a second he just stared at me.

Then he threw his head back and burst into loud, deep, beautiful laughter.

I wanted to throw something at him.

Unfortunately, in my current position, this was not an option open to me.

“I fail to see what’s amusing,” I noted.

He controlled his mirth only to mutter, “I’ll explain it later.” He went on more distinctly, “Frannie, you’re not goin’ to your brother’s today. Or tomorrow. Or until you’re fit. Then, maybe Valentine will spirit you there, or whatever the fuck that’s called. But for the foreseeable future, your ass is in that bed and you’re resting so you can heal.”

Well!

Who did he think he was, telling me what I would or would not do?

“As you’ve determined,” I began, “this is not the first time I’ve been in this condition so I do believe that I know best what I’m capable of and…”

I stopped speaking because he came slightly out of his crouch so he could put his face into my face and he was no longer looking mirthful.

He was looking angry.

Very angry.

“That was when you had no one lookin’ out for you but that’s not the case anymore. So this is how it’s gonna be,” he announced.

He then, to my shock, irritation and outrage, announced how it was going to be.

Like he had the right to tell me how it was going to be!

Michel’s Review

Every summer I make it a goal to read a few series that I haven’t had time to get to. One of those series was the Fantasyland Series by Kristen Ashley. Although I am a huge Kristen Ashley fan, I am not really into fantasy romance. I have to be in the “mood” to read this type of book. Summer was the perfect time for me to dive into this series and give it my full attention. Once again Kristen Ashley wowed me with her vivid imagination, her sexy alpha men, quirky capable women, sizzling hot romance with a touch of humor, and an entertaining story. The Fantasyland Series had a bonus, it had a special blend of magic and mystique in two parallel worlds.

Midnight Soul should not be read as a stand alone in this series. It is the grand finale.

As I have said many times before, Kristen Ashley is the bomb! Once again she has taken a character that readers disliked and turned their hearts. Kristen Ashley gave Franka Drakkar a complete makeover. Readers got a glimpse into the real woman beneath the facade. A woman with vulnerabilities,extreme loyalties, monumental insecurities,and a big heart waiting to be given. Only a man like Noctorno Hawthorne could see beneath the surface and see the beautifull soul buried deep within.

After the mega showdown and resolutions, Franka is in a different place. She is transitioning into a new life with the possibilities of new friendships, relationships, and life experiences. She’s a bit lost because her life has completely changed and she’s not on solid footing. Noc can see her internal struggles and offers friendship. He introduces her to his world, the modern parallel world that leaves her with wonder and curiosity.

This newly found friendship leads Franka on a new adventure, an adventure of the heart. Together Noc and Franka are going to discover the best of both worlds and the true meaning of happily ever after.

As most Kristen Ashley fans know, Kristen is the queen of happily ever afters that are told through epic epilogues.

I am happy that I opened my mind and embraced the Fantasyland series. It was a reading adventure with Kristen Ashley magic.

I highly recommend the Fantasyland Series.

And Don’t Miss the First Books in the Fantasyland Series!

WILDEST DREAMS

THE GOLDEN DYNASTY

FANTASTICAL

BROKEN DOVE

About Kristen Ashley:

Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA and nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorise and she hadn’t taken her first breath!). Her mother said they took Kristen away, put her Mom back in her room, her mother looked out the window, and Gary was on fire (Dr. King had been assassinated four days before). Kristen’s Mom remembered thinking it was the end of the world. Quite the dramatic beginning.

Nothing’s changed.

Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana and has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus, she’s blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her family was (is) loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write. They all lived together on a very small farm in a small farm town in the heartland. She grew up with Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched).

Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up.

And as she keeps growing, it keeps getting better.

Release Blitz + Excerpt + Review + Giveaway: Sidelined by A. M. Hargrove and Terri E. Laine

Posted on 08/11/2016 by shellbellereads

Book Title: Sidelined (A Wilde Players Dirty Romance)
Author: A.M. Hargrove & Terrie E. Laine
Genre: Sports Romance
Release Date: August 11, 2016
Hosted by: Book Enthusiast Promotions

From the USA Today Bestselling Authors, A.M. Hargrove and Terri E. Laine comes a new standalone sexy sports romance, Sidelined – A Wilde Players Dirty Romance.

Cassidy

I hate him… I love him… He destroyed me… and now He needs me.

Fletcher Wilde, a gorgeous quarterback in the NFL, is the man I should have married. He’s is the one that walked away, choosing football over me. He shouldn’t be back, especially not looking that good. And not sitting in my waiting room chair with a bum leg and confident cocky grin that sets my insides on fire.

It’s impossible to forget how he rocked my world both in and out of the bedroom. Keeping things professional won’t be easy, especially given our history. My mission, however, is getting him back on the field—the place he loved more than me, while not losing myself in him all over again.

Fletcher

Cassidy Miller is the only physical therapist in town. And after a potential career ending injury, she’s my ticket back on the field or my NFL career is over. Unfortunately, she’s the same Cassidy who ripped my heart to shreds when I thought we were a team.

Sexy and intelligent, she’s the last person I thought I’d see again. As it turns out, she looks better than ever, making me want that smart mouth of hers doing things to me that would drive a sane man crazy.

Lucky for me, my determination is legendary. Winning is in my blood, which makes me number one on the field. Being a single-minded man, my focus is to get her back and this time for good.

“Can we start from scratch? Like this whole night?” I ask.

“What do you mean?”

A frustrated sigh leaves me. “I don’t want it to be like this between us.”

I expect a snappy response, but that’s not what I get. “I don’t really either. But after you dumped me—”

What is she saying? “I didn’t dump you. I had to leave to go with the pros.”

She looks at me like she wants to say duh.

“Yeah, you dumped me for the pros.”

My hand drives through my hair. “That’s not how it went. I had to leave, and you were supposed to come.”

That one word has me harder than I thought possible. She speaks, but I’m barely coherent to what she’s saying.

“I had to finish college. Then there was PT school, my dad, and I couldn’t possibly go.”

Reaching out, I take her wrist and pull her closer. Her eyes widen, making her look like a doe in the middle of the road. And, damn, if that doesn’t make her my prey.

The words crawl out of my mouth like a growl. “Take your clothes off and get in this tub with me.” I shut off the water and push the button to get the jets running. This is a dead-end conversation, like it will always be.

Her head shakes, sending all that hair I want to wrap around my hand flying.

“You’re crazy.”

“Maybe.” I haven’t let go of her wrist, determined to convince her to stay. “Everyone’s entitled to a little crazy.

When she doesn’t answer, I give her hand a slight tug. “Take your clothes off, Cass, and get in here.”

“I might hurt your knee.”

“Chicken.” I splash her with some water.

She jumps back, and I lose my hold on her. “Fletcher, you got me wet.”

Her eyes narrow as my grin widens. “That’s the idea.”

Michel’s Review

The football season is almost upon us. The training camps are underway and the fans are gearing up for opening day. Sports romance fans are also getting in the mood for some football, or should a say a hot football romance. A. M. Hargrove and Terri E. Laine have delivered the opening football romance for the readers to devour. First up on the players roster is Fletcher Wilde, NFL quarterback. Are you ready for some hot passes and scoring touchdowns that will make your panties wet and your heart flutter? Fletcher has the plays.

Fletcher Wilde has returned home to North Carolina on his season break to take care of his parents home and dogs while they are away on vacation. Nothing ever happens in this sleepy small town and it’s a good rest before summer training camp. He hasn’t been home since he signed with the NFL.

Twenty five seconds can be a game changer. It can change the coarse of the game or change the outcome of your life. Fletcher knows this but didn’t realize the impact until twenty five seconds changed everything. His career is on the line and his heart is taking back his life. A hit and run accident changed Fletcher Wilde’s life. It brought him back to Cassidy, the only woman he has ever loved.

Cassidy Miller was devastated when Fletcher left her for the NFL. Picking up the pieces of her broken heart was difficult. She moved on, finished college, married, started a career, and became a business owner. On paper it looked like her life was perfect. The fact is that she had a miserable marriage and is now divorced. Although she is the only therapist in town, her business is struggling. When Fletcher Wilde walks through her door for therapy, her heart is on the line.

Cassidy and Fletcher are finally going to get closure or the happily ever after they were meant to have. They will have to deal with Fletcher’s injuries, Cassidy’s mistrust, a conniving agent, overprotective BFF, greedy team owners, and a diabolical ex husband. Fletcher’s game for anything as long as Cassidy is his end zone.

A. M. Hargrove and Terri E. Laine have a winner with this second chance romance. I’m looking forward to seeing what Wilde is up next the game roster.

Sidelined was the perfect, sexy sports romance to kick off the season.

Add the book to Goodreads

CUPCAKE OVERLOAD Synopsis:

One night I was out with my girls enjoying a much needed ladies night while wondering if one more dirty martini would push me over the edge. The next thing I knew, I was in the club’s bathroom listening to a woman screaming, “No,” and a man’s voice growling, “I know you want it.”

That asshole picked the wrong restroom, in the wrong club, at the wrong time.

Little did I know the asshole was Cade’s VP, and although we saved that woman from his clutches that night, she’d be found floating in a motel pool a month later.

Running a PI firm is a lot harder than taking pictures for one, especially when your professional life spills over into your personal one. I’m going through cupcakes like our new puppy goes through piddle pads, and if I’m not careful there’s bound to be a Cupcake Overload.
