Release Blitz and Review: I Knead You Tonight by Teagan Hunter – Slice Series – Book 2

Posted on 10/17/2019 by shellbellereads

I hate Drew Woods, and she hates me.

Even so, I’m not the cold jerk most make me out to be, and I have no problem moving the single mom and her baby into my home. I do, however, draw a line when it comes to acting on the way her loose lips make me feel.

Alive.

She’s too mouthy, too prying, and her curves are way too distracting.

I might have lost my way after a nearly fatal car accident, but I’m not stupid. Giving in to Drew would be a short-lived fix for this pain I’m saddled with, and I knead something permanent.

I’d be insane to think what we have could be anything other than temporary…right?

Michel’s Review

I love everything about the Slice Series by Teagan Hunter. The second book of the series, I Knead You Tonight is even more entertaining than the first book. I laughed out loud, felt every emotion, and connected with all of the characters. These people could be my friends, neighbors, and co-workers. I understood their daily lives and daily struggles.

Everyone who knows Winston is well aware of his slacker tendencies. They are quickly learning that he is not the most reliable person when it comes to work or commitments. They also know he has a heart of gold beneath his grumpy surface. But when he rescues Drew Woods from her destitute situation and gives her a place to live with her son, he’s showing his true colors. He really is a nice guy. He’s starting to act like the guy he used to be before his near fatal car accident.

Drew Woods has had to fight for everything her entire life. She’s fiercely independent and determined to make it on her own. She’s also wise enough to accept help for the sake of her son’s well being. Moving in with Winston is temporary. Why does he have to be so sexy and unpredictable?

Both Winston and Drew need to fix their lives. Together they make a great team. Together they can strive to become better. Together they can re-invent their lives one slice at a time.

I absolutely loved this book! It’s a fun, light hearted frenemies to lovers romance!

I highly recommend reading I Knead You Tonight by Teagan Hunter!

I’m a Missouri-raised gal, but currently live in North Carolina with my US Marine husband and 9-year-old dog. I spend my days begging him for a cat, and I survive off coffee, pizza, and sarcasm. When I’m not writing, you can find me binge-watching various TV shows, especially Supernatural and One Tree Hill. I like cold weather, buy more paperbacks than I’ll ever read, and I never say no to brownies.

Writing is my passion, and this is just the beginning of my journey.

Even better, she has absolutely no idea who I am.

Michel’s Review

I am so excited about Helena Hunting’s new hockey series. The All In series is a spin off of the Pucked Series with a brand new expansion team located in Seattle. A Lie For A Lie is the introduction to this series and actually takes place in Chicago with all of our beloved Pucked friends and family. The bonus is their world is expanding and readers are going to fall for the sexy new warriors on ice. A Lie For A Lie has set the tone and it was so much fun to read!

Every year RJ ( Rook) goes to Alaska with his brother and father on his off season to do some fishing. It’s the perfect way to decompress after a grueling season. This year is a bit different because his father passed away a few years ago and his brother was unable to attend due to complications in his wife’s pregnancy. By the time he gets the news he’s already boarding a jumper plane heading to his family’s fishing cabin. To his surprise the delightful woman who fell in his lap on the previous flight is sitting right next to him. Little did he know this would change his vacation and eventually change his world.

Lainey went to Alaska to work on her thesis while studying the mating habits of whales. It’s also a bonus to escape her over protective family. Little did she know she would be studying her own mating habits with the hot alpaca farmer she met on the plane. A little vacation sex, a big cabin with a comfy bed and hot water, and a loaded refrigerator with a real working stove are just what she needs. What she didn’t count on is falling head over heels in love with the hot alpaca farmer.

A family emergency, miscommunications, and a whole mess of lies lead to the end their affair in the Alaskan paradise. Those who say what happens on vacation should stay on vacation should just shut up. Most people want to remember their fantastic vacations. Some even bring home souvenirs. Rook and Lainey are no different.

One year later at one of his teammates kid’s crazy birthday party two lost lovers once again reunite. Only this time they have to face reality and tell the truth. Let the fun begin.

I absolutely loved this book and all the cameo’s from our crazy Pucked friends. It made this a truly delightful read. I can’t wait for more of this new series.

Helena Hunting has become the queen of rom-com romance. She also melts icy hearts with her hot-blooded hockey players.

*****

Blurb:

Getting Played, a magnificent new romance by New York Times bestselling author Emma Chase.

Dean Walker is all about keeping life simple. He’s effortlessly talented and intelligent—spending his summers playing drums in the local band and the rest of the year teaching high school in the same Jersey town where he grew up. He likes his love-life simple too, enjoying the commitment-free hook-ups his good looks and sexy charm have always made oh-so easy.

Then he meets Lainey Burrows. And his simple, easy life gets turned upside down.

***

One wild one-night stand was all it was ever supposed to be, so Lainey is shocked when she discovers that her sizzling summer fling is also her son’s new math teacher. But that’s nothing compared to the most unexpected twist of all—their hot hook-up left Lainey knocked-up, and now they’re about to become parents. Together.

What ensues is an addictive, insatiable, sweet and tender romance that won’t be simple, but it will be more than worth the fight.

A stand-alone, contemporary romance.

Excerpt:

Dean

I find Lainey in the living room—standing on a ladder, with those long, toned legs peeking out from itty bitty cotton black shorts and a power drill in her hand, while Bruce Springsteen sings “I’m Goin’ Down” from a speaker in the corner.

And, dear God—the things I could do to her on that ladder.

Wonderful, filthy things that instantly make my heart pound and my cock throb. She’s the perfect height for me to just walk over there and put my mouth between her legs. I picture it, see it in my mind—the way she’d grip my hair and pant my name, arch her back and writhe against my face . . .

But then I catch sight of the small bump of her stomach, and reality smacks me in the head. I think about the baby—and how making Lainey lose her mind three feet off the ground wouldn’t be the safest option. My protective instinct overrides the desire to get freaky on the ladder.

“Hey, Dean.” She sets the drill on the ledge and picks up a beeping light green rectangle, running it along the wall.

“What are you doing up there?” I ask.

I don’t have a decorative bone in my body, but the room looks good—with light gray walls and navy corduroy covered couches, reclaimed wood tables and a dozen different-sized candles filling the white-washed brick fireplace. It’s clean and simple but warm, the kind of place you’d look forward to coming back to every day.

“I’m going to hang up those boards.” Lainey gestures to three square planks, with ornamental arrows burned black into the wood. “I just want to make sure this stud-finder works.”

“If you’re looking for a stud,” I wink, “I’m standing right in front of you.”

“Ha-ha. I’ll keep that in mind.”

She turns back to the wall, reaching up over her head and stretching onto her tippy toes on the narrow step. I move under the ladder to catch her if she goes ass over end, and a stab of terror slices through me at the thought that Lainey would still be doing this if I wasn’t here. Alone. Without Jason even in the room in case something went terribly wrong.

What the hell is up with that?

“I read that you’re not supposed to reach above your head when you’re pregnant.”

“That’s just an old wives’ tale.”

I wrap my hands around her hips, holding her steady.

“Maybe the old wives knew what they were talking about. Come on, come down.”

Slowly, Lainey lowers her arms and turns in my hands. I lift her off the ladder by her hips, tilting my head back and holding her above me for a moment, before sliding her slowly down. And the feel of her softness rubbing against me, the friction—it’s fantastic.

When her feet are on the ground, I dip my head and our faces are just millimeters apart. Close enough to count the sprinkle of cute, light freckles that dust the bridge of her nose.

“That’s better,” I say softly, taking the stud-finder out of her hands. “I’ll do it.”

“Okay.” Lainey’s tongue peeks out, wetting her bottom lip. “Thanks.”

Like I said . . . fucking killing me.

Michel’s Review

Emma Chase has finally brought her readers back to Lakeside, NJ for another small town/ adult high school adventure. This time around it’s the assistant coach, AP Math teacher, and drummer rock god, Dean Walker is on the playlist.

Lainey Burrows, single mother and popular blogger is out celebrating her success when she meets the sexy drummer from the band Amber Sound. Being a single mother and sole provider doesn’t leave much time for dating or sex. A one night stand is just what she needs to make her celebration complete. He’s not from this area and she’s moving within weeks. She will never have to see him again. Her wild night can be her secret.

Lainey has signed on for a one year blogging show on FB. She will be re-furbishing and redecorating an old lake house in Lakeside, NJ. The small town area is perfect for her do-it-yourself projects and lifestyle tips. It’s also an opportunity for her brilliant nerdy teenage son to have a new start and maybe make new friends. He has spent his life with his nose buried in books and focused on school. She’s hoping he’ll find friends and a social life in this new place. Moving day is perfect until she realizes she’s pregnant. Suddenly she’s got a new life project in her new adventure.

Her son is adjusting well to Lakeside. He loves his AP Math teacher, the mathletes club, and his new friends. When she goes for her first parent teacher conference she’s in for a big surprise. Her sexy drummer boy / baby daddy is none other than Coach Walker, mathematical genius and town player.

Dean was the known player in Lakeside and now it’s his turn to fall. Between the Dork-Squad, the Gray Army, Lucy- the delightful kitty, a “haunted” lake house, ex girlfriends & hookups, and four snarky sisters… Dean just might make the cut. He has to prove he’s finally ready for the new game known as fatherhood. Ohhh… the mighty fall hard… and we readers get to experience this sexy genius drummer/ teacher become a clueless fool when faced with love. But when the mighty fall it is perfection on every level.

The one thing a reader can expect when opening an Emma Chase novel is pure, delightful, fun, light-hearted entertainment. Falling head over heels in love with these lovable clueless characters and experiencing a beautiful love story is reading perfection.

I absolutely loved Getting Played by Emma Chase.

When Seattle journalist, Amanda McKendrick, pitches a new story about the increase of bear attacks in Sitka, her newspaper sends her north for two weeks. While there, she answers the personal ad of single dad, Luke Kingston, looking for a little no-strings-attached fun to pass the time.

But the sweet, widowered father of three—who just happens to be a smokin’ hot state trooper—turns out to be a lot more than Amanda bargained for. As the days go by, she wonders if it’ll be possible to return to Seattle without leaving her heart behind.

Michel’s Review

Single In Sitka by Katy Regnery was the perfect modern day romance that most readers can relate to. A single father of three children and a single woman with a successful career whose biological clock is ticking. It’s the story of real life where car accidents change lives, settling for someone because it’s easy is the norm, being afraid to start over where the rules have changed in the dating world, and trying to fit in an already made family where parenting is a new concept are very real realities in today’s world.

Luke Kingston lost his wife and mother of his children in a car accident two years ago. As a single father of three children he has had to primarily focus on his family. Daily routines change as the children grow and their maturity levels evolve with puberty. While they all have learned to adjust to the changes in life the one thing they have not experienced is someone new coming into their lives. Luke is ready to enter the dating world but he’s not sure how to or how much of himself he wants to give. He’s old fashion and doesn’t believe in Tinder or swipe dating apps. When his sister places an ad in the dating personal ads of a popular area magazine, Luke is mortified until he meets his potential date. She’s a beautiful and genuinely nice woman who is in the same position he is. They both need a Rebound date to help get them back in the saddle again. She’s only in Sitka for a few weeks. It should be easy. What he didn’t count on was falling for the sexy reporter and wanting more than a mutually satisfying hookup.

Amanda McKendrick spent five years with Mr. Wrong. When he cheated on her and left because he just wasn’t “feeling it anymore”, her eyes were opened. She began to re-evaluate what she wanted in life while realizing her biological clock is ticking much faster. Needing to get away from Seattle, she proposes a storyline about the Bear Attacks in Sitka and how their environment is being affected. The paper proposes to do a fund raiser to help the Bear Refuge . She decides to take a chance at re-entering the dating world while she is in Sitka where nobody knows her. What happens in Sitka can stay in Sitka. When she responds to Luke’s ad the rules of the dating game are thrown completely out the window. She is falling hopelessly in love with Luke and his kids. The only problem is their lives are in two completely different worlds and there are three other people involved in decision making.

I absolutely loved Single In Sitka by Katy Regnery because it was a contemporary romance that today’s readers can relate to. Katy has a way of making any kind of romance fun, charming, and emotional. She has a talent of creating characters who are perfectly ordinary people with their own personal strengths and flaws. This is what makes their story extraordinary.

I highly recommend Single In Sitka by Katy Regnery.

New Release + Release Blitz + 5 Star Review: Down Too Deep by J. Daniels

Posted on 10/08/2019 by cafemamanc7

Two single
parents and three adorable kids are about to have a summer they’ll never forget
in this sexy, heartwarming new novel of the New York Times bestselling
series.

Following the sudden death of his wife, Nathan Bell spent
nearly two years burying himself in work and neglecting his biggest
responsibility: his daughter. Overcome with guilt, he wants to connect with
little Marley, but he doesn’t know how to do it alone. And then Jenna Savage
throws him a lifeline.

A single mom of twins, Jenna is more than capable of taking
care of Nathan’s adorable two-year-old and wants to help Nathan however she
can. As the days go by and her attraction to Nathan grows, she can’t help
wondering what might happen if they became a family for real. And the closer
everyone becomes, the more right it feels.

Falling in love forces Nathan to face his biggest fear, and
when hearts — both big and little — are on the line, the only thing scarier
than needing Jenna and her kids so much is losing them all.

AVAILABLE NOW

Amazon | Apple Books | Nook | Kobo

Tracey’s Review

Oh, my gosh, I freaking loved this book! I forget sometimes how J. Daniels absolutely sucks me right the heck in with her books, and, man, I was ALL in for Jenna’s and Nathan’s story. I mean, everything, just EVERYTHING, about this book. I see a book hangover in my future…

It’s hard not to sound repetitive, but, man, I am SO in love with Nathan Bell. My heart just hurt for this man that was so mired in his own grief that he had never been able to look beyond it to connect with his daughter, Marley. When Jenna Savage shows up, she is just the lifeline he’s been missing. Jenna hasn’t had it particularly easy herself, but the circle that she casts is pure light, and Marley and Nathan can’t help but be drawn into it. It’s not long before these two are changing each other in all the best ways.

J. Daniels always writes the perfect mix of angst, steam, and pure unadulterated love, and DOWN TOO DEEP showcases this very well. I was drawn into the story, into the family and friend circle, into the intensity, from the very start, and I did not want to stop reading until the very end. This is what makes a book a 5 star read for me, and DOWN TOO DEEP is not only that, but one of my favorite books of this year.

Nate, Jenna, and their beautiful family will stay with me for a very long time, and I can’t wait to go back and catch up with the earlier books. DOWN TOO DEEP is one for the TBR, reader friends, and I guarantee, it will not disappoint. Make sure to get this one, and enjoy. ❤️

Married In Michigan

50 States Of Love – Book 3

By Jasinda Wilder

Buy: Amazon / B & N / IBooks / Kobo / Google / Book Bub

***

Blurb:

Cleaning up after playboy Paxton deBraun is a full time job.

His family is worth billions. They are the elite. They influence politicians. They’re the power behind the power. Paxton is their golden child, wealthy in his own right, a rising star in Washington DC’s political scene…a 21st century Jay Gatsby, prone to throwing lavish, expensive, wild, and destructive parties.

I’m a housekeeper at a hotel owned by his mother, Camilla deBraun, and I’m sent in to clean up after such a party.

What I wasn’t expecting was to find Paxton naked in his bed, passed out and breathtaking even hungover.

Even more unexpected is the proposal bombshell he drops on me: Marry him.

A man I met once, a golden god, richer than belief, gorgeous beyond comprehension, and arrogant beyond fathom.

Me, a hotel maid working three jobs to make ends meet…Marry him.

It’s supposed to be fake, more of a business agreement than marriage proposal.

Only…it turns out there’s more to this sexy billionaire than meets the eye.

Michel’s Review

***

Married In Michigan by Jasinda Wilder is like a modern day fairytale with a real dose of reality that most readers can relate to. It also reminds me of the world’s favorite royal couple- Prince Harry and Princess Meghan.

Paxton deBraun is one of the most eligible bachelors in the US. He is known for his wild parties, philandering ways, and high profile antics. Although he is from an influential family, he relies on his own intelligence and business endeavors in his career. He is one of the youngest congressmen in the House of Representatives and has aspirations for a long political career. He needs to clean up his act to prove he has more brains than financial clout. He needs to prove he is more than qualified in his elected position. His controlling mother has issued an ultimatum, he must marry within three months or lose the family financial backing and political connections. Although he can thrive on his own financially he also sees the need to clean up his reputation. His only concession is that he picks his own bride rather than her finding one that has the right credentials.

Paxton chooses the maid from his mother’s exclusive hotel to become his bride. It will send his mother through the roof knowing he is marrying a bi-racial maid who is from the other side of the tracks. Paxton sees more than a beautiful woman from the wrong side of the tracks, he sees her integrity, intelligence, and diligence. Everything needed to be the perfect politician wife. He can offer her the world but she just wants a reprieve from her stressful life.

Paxton and Makayla find more than a beneficial business relationship. They find a beautiful friendship filled with respect and support. They also find themselves falling head over heels in love.

Married In Michigan by Jasinda Wilder is my favorite in the 50 States of Love series. I loved the cheesy fairytale/ billionaire romance along with doses of reality in today’s modern world. I loved how this book was a slow build up through dialogue, clever banter, and world building rather than fueled by the red hot sex scenes as a way of propelling the romance.

I highly recommend Married In Michigan by Jasinda Wilder. It was a pure reading delight.

Title: Someday, Somehow

Author: Claudia Burgoa

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Release Date: October 3, 2019

Blurb

Men and women can be friends.

At least that’s what I’ve been telling myself since George walked into my life.

We bicker as much as we have each other’s backs.

We’re inseparable.

So, she left to find herself and I feel like I can’t breathe without her.

It’s okay, it’s only temporary.

But when she walks back into my life, it’s on the arm of a stranger.

Her fiancé.

Seriously, I just realized I’m in love with her and she’s engaged?I have six weeks to convince George we’re meant to be together—not only in the
kitchen or be forced to watch her marry another man.

Time is running out, and soon, she’ll be gone from my life.

I’m risking everything, will that be enough?

Someday, Somehow is a sexy romantic comedy that’s
equal parts funny and flirty.

Made of Honor clashes with When Harry Met Sally in a
sweet and seductive love story of hopeful hearts and second chances.

Excerpt

EXCERPT

“A junior invited me,” Megan said excitedly. “It might be the party of the year.”

Party?

It looks like Union Square during New Year’s Eve.

What is everyone waiting for?

This party wasn’t worth the three-mile walk from our dorm to here.

The cheap alcohol tops it all. I didn’t get drunk with the first sip of a screwdriver; I got a massive headache. This isn’t for me. The circle of girls gossiping about everything as they wait to be swooped by some guy—not my scene.

Haven’t we done this for the past twelve hours? Chat about nonsense. This is why I don’t have many friends. I was too busy with my extracurricular activities that I skipped socializing 101. Give me a good book to read. A movie to watch or a marathon on TBS or Nick at Nite to keep me up all night. I suggest we leave, and what does roommate-dearest say in response? “I’ll find you a place to crash.”

The bedroom is dark but clean. I grab a sweatshirt and even a bear I find on the floor. It only takes a few seconds for me to fall asleep. It is quiet, smells of sandalwood and pine, and the sheets are soft.

I miss home.

Everything is going well until the guy from the coffee shop wakes me up. I swear it feels like a dream. A nightmare. But after we talk, I realize he’s not as bad as I thought. He’s one of the good guys but likes to pretend he’s anything but.

His food…who knew eggs could taste this great? In exchange for yet another plate, I could offer to fix the light fixtures. This place is off code.

And there I go, thinking like my father. Instead of teaching me construction, he should’ve taught me how to socialize. I wish my aunts had been around more often during my teenage years. I’d be a little cooler, or at least I’d know how to make friends easily.

Auggie takes the empty plate from my hands and offers me some milk. I nod, that sounds better than whatever they’re serving upstairs.

“It must be hard moving away from all your friends and family,” he says.

I shrug and smile. I don’t make friends easily. Well, actually, I don’t make friends at all. Dad and I have always been on the run. Running to school, running to a construction site, running to tae kwon do, running to the grocery store…

There’s never time to exchange more than a greeting and a weak how are you before I have to go again.

During my spare time I help Dad around the house or at work. If I do the latter, it pays for my knickknacks, and I get to spend time with him.

“It’s just Dad and me,” I remind him.

“Any other family?”

“Mom’s family faded away after she died. Dad’s sisters stepped up, but now they have their own families, so during my teenage years it was just the two of us.” I drink some of the milk he poured me.

“Grandparents?”

“How about you?” I fire back without answering his question. And study him.

He’s not as bad as I thought earlier. In fact, he’s very nice. And good looking. Tall, mussed-up, dark hair, hazel eyes. Black t-shirt hugging his lean and defined muscles. There’s a playful tug at the corner of his mouth, and I see a dimple forming on the left side of his cheek.

He turns me on, but he’s he and well, I’m me.

Michel’s Review

Claudia Burgoa has fallen under a special magical star that has transformed her already excellent writing talent to a whole new level. Her last few books have been romantic perfection.

***

I absolutely loved Someday Somehow because I could easily identify with both Georgie and Auggie on some many levels. We all have that special friend that means more than words could describe. This special kind of friendship is a safety zone where anything can be said or done without judgement and complete support.

***

Auggie and Georgie met in college and decided they needed a best friend rather than a one night stand or coed fling. This friendship survived attempted dating endeavors, the pressures of academic success, the floundering of finding the right kind of career that will fit for years, family expectations, and dreams for the future. The one thing they took for granted was each other until it was almost too late. They both realized their love for one another at the wrong times and neither knew how to express the real feelings in their heart. It will take a sabbatical in Europe, an abrupt career change, a creative culinary challenge, and complete focus before they find their happily ever after.

***

Claudia Burgoa captured the perfect friendship floundering to find true love. She brought her characters, both Georgia and Auggie to life through their passions in cooking. They expressed themselves by creating the perfect dish for every emotional moment. Love is hard enough to express with words but even harder when it could ruin the perfect friendship. They both had to recognize their own personal weakness and learn to deal with them by themselves. They had to fix themselves first.

***

Claudia Burgoa created my favorite kind of romance with friendship to lovers theme. I loved every aspect of Someday Somehow.

Release Blitz + 5 Star Review: Park Avenue Player by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland

Posted on 09/23/2019 by shellbellereads

Park Avenue Player

A Standalone Contemporary Romance

BLURB

It started out like any normal day.

Then the fender bender happened.

The guy I collided with drove an expensive car and was drop-dead gorgeous. Too bad he was also a total jerk. We argued over whose fault it was and any other thing that came out of his condescending mouth.

Eventually, the police came and we went our separate ways. The insurance companies would have to figure things out. I had a job interview to get to anyway—one I was excited about.

Though that excitement changed to disappointment the moment the person interviewing me walked in. The guy from the accident.

Whoops!

Yeah, so I didn’t get the position.

The problem was, I really wanted it. No, I needed it. Anything to get me out of my current career and back into working with kids.

So, even though Hollis LaCroix was as intimidating as he was devastatingly handsome, I went back to see him and begged for a chance.

To my surprise, he gave me a shot taking care of his troubled niece.

At least my attraction to him wouldn’t be able to go anywhere. I wasn’t about to jeopardize my job or the strong bond Hailey and I formed.

But resisting the magnetic pull between us wasn’t that simple. (Then there was our little underwear game—don’t ask.)

We continued to flirt without crossing the line—until it finally happened.

This is the part of the story where we fall in love and live happily ever after, right?

Well, life has a way of throwing some major curveballs.

Ours was one I didn’t see coming.

Excerpt

By Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland

“Would you like something to drink, Hollis?”

“No, thank you.”

He looked completely uncomfortable standing in my kitchen, so of course, I needed to make it worse. I tilted my head. “Did you touch any?”

“What?”

“My panties. Did you touch any while you were in the bathroom?”

He tugged at the collar of his polo and looked down the hall. “Where did she go? We need to get back on the road.”

Oh my God!

I’d been kidding around. But…holy shit…he had! I covered my mouth and cracked up. “You did, didn’t you! You perv!”

Hollis walked down the hall. “Hailey…let’s get going.”

I couldn’t get the smile off my face. Something about the thought of Hollis touching my underwear amused the hell out of me. I wished Hailey wasn’t around so I could ask him if he’d smelled them, too. That thought actually made me snort.

Hollis came back to the kitchen. His face was stern. “We’ll see you on Monday.”

I walked them to the door. Hailey surprised me with a hug. “Your art stuff is awesome.”

“Thank you, sweetheart.”

I grinned at Hollis, who was impatiently holding the door open for his niece. “Your uncle thinks my stuff is awesome, too.”

Park Avenue Player is the latest release by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland. This dynamic writing team is known for their sexy, sassy, snarky, sizzling hot romance novels. It all began with a sexy Aussie and a fainting goat and has evolved from road tripping to the busy streets of NYC with the Park Avenue Player. They have kept their readers enchanted with their ultra sexy hero’s, sassy leading ladies, and unusual lovable pets.

Hollis LaCroix and Elodie Atlier started off on the wrong foot, or should I say with a fender bender. They were both late for an appointment. The appointment just happened to be with one another. Elodie was interviewing to become the nanny for his eleven year old niece who was quickly entering the TWEEN era. Hollis needs someone who can handle a rebellious tween and sensitive girl. He needs someone who is stable and dependable. His first impression of Elodie is not good and he thinks she’s a bit quirky until he sees her interacting with his impressionable niece.

What begins as a “Nanny” + “Employer” romance evolves into something else entirely.

Park Avenue Player is an emotional story about family, friendship, love, heartache, and every aspect of life. Hollis is an exceptional human beneath his polished surface. Elodie is more than a quirky woman, she is dependable in the most important way. Hollis and Hailey can count on her to be there for them through thick and thin. Together the three of them will find their ” happy” in life. Add a magnificent bird named Huey that Baaas after he meets a certain goat at the vets office and some very endearing friends and Park Avenue Player becomes more than just a typical romance. It becomes an extraordinary story of life and love.

I highly recommend reading Park Avenue Player by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland. It is their best novel to date!

Blurb:

Abducted.
Terrorized.
Imprisoned.

At nineteen-years-old, college student Josie Stratton was kidnapped by a madman and held shackled for ten months in an abandoned warehouse before she finally escaped her hellish prison.

Eight years later, when the body of a young woman is found chained in the basement of a vacant house, Cincinnati Police Detective Zach Copeland is instantly reminded of the crime committed against Josie Stratton. Zach was just a rookie on the perimeter of that case, but he’s never forgotten the traumatized woman with the haunted eyes.

As more information emerges, the crimes take on an even more sinister similarity. But Josie’s attacker died by suicide. Does the city have a copycat on its hands? A killer who picked up where the original perpetrator left off? Or are they facing something far more insidious?

Josie has spent the last eight years attempting to get her life back on track, but now there’s a very real chance she could be the unknown suspect’s next target. As Zach vows to keep her safe, and Josie finds herself responding to him in a way she hasn’t responded to any man in almost a decade, the investigation takes on an even more complex edge of danger.

As past and present collide, Josie and Zach are thrust toward a shocking and chilling truth. A revelation that threatens not only Josie’s life, but everything she’s been fighting so desperately to reclaim.

Michel’s Review

*** 2019 Favorite ***

Mia Sheridan’s latest release, Where The Blame Lies, is by far one of her best books she has written. That is saying a lot because this woman can write a book. In this particular book she stepped out of her comfort zone with contemporary romance and wrote a Romantic Suspense / Thriller that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. I read this book in one sitting and was glued to the pages. She kept the readers guessing and when she gave the big revelation of who it was, there were still so many questions as to the why’s and motive. Mia was meticulous with the plot, the timing, the characters, and the revelations. Everything gelled perfectly in this book. What I liked most is the strength of survival and the will to move beyond being a victim. Mia gave Josie power even though she was broken.

I am not going to say anything more because this is a book each reader needs to experience for themselves. It is a page turner!

Read Where The Blame Lies by Mia Sheridan!
