Posted on 09/13/2017 by shellbellereads

Fraternize, an all-new sexy standalone from #1 New York Times Bestseller Rachel Van Dyken is LIVE!!

Fraternize by Rachel Van Dyken
Release Date: September 12th

Genre: Contemporary Romance

New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken kicks off a brand-new series in which romance is a game and love is a touchdown.

Emerson just made her dream come true as a professional cheerleader for her favorite pro football team. But even though the plus-size athlete is breaking down boundaries, she still has to contend with the massive rulebook. Carbs? Nope. Chocolate? Definitely not. Still, Emerson loves her curves, and she’ll rock the hell out of this job even if it kills her. Except for one mandate that is easier read than done…

No fraternizing with the players.

Problem one is Miller Quinton: Emerson’s first love, first sex, and the guy who still ignites her daydreams and R-rated fantasies. Thrown back together, Miller and Emerson feel the undeniable pull of passion again, even if the conflict that tore them apart seems insurmountable. Then there’s way-too-sexy Grant Sanchez. He has a serious reputation with the ladies, and when it comes to winning someone he wants, he doesn’t let anyone stand in his way.

Now Emerson is breaking every rule in the manual. But what she doesn’t know is that she’s part of a wicked little game—one that could steal both her dream and her heart.

Michel’s Review

Holy Smokes! Rachel Van Dyken has a new series, The Players, that is going to change the game. Fraternize is the first book in The Players series and it is a solid five star book that will leave readers wanting MORE! Yes it ended on a cliffhanger and I’m dying for the next book but I must say what takes place in this book is unlike anything Rachel has written. A love triangle that keeps the readers hearts ricochetting from one moment to the next. The ride is exciting, unpredictable, and emotional.

Emerson Ryder has achieved her dream, she has become an NFL cheerleader. She is not the typical cheerleader with the perfect body. She has curves and embraces her body shape wholeheartedly. The demands of professional cheerleading go beyond practices and games, there are rules and they are written in a manuel. From the dietary restrictions, surprise weigh ins, behavior modifications, the manuel rules her life. One of the biggest and most serious rules is no fraternizing with the football players. Emerson can accept and abide by these rules except the fraternizing one. A guy from her past is a player on the Bellevue Bucks and they have a steamy and stormy history. It also doesn’t help that there is another player that has staked his claim and set his sights on her.

Miller Quinton was her childhood best friend and first love. Their relationship took a dramatic turn when circumstances beyond their control changed the direction of both of their lives. Their communications were broken without explanation. They both blame one another but neither knows the truth about what happened. Assumptions led to heartbreak and hard feelings. Now they are once again in each other’s lives. Do they leave the past alone or do they start a new chapter in their story? Miller was Emerson’s greatest love and greatest heartbreak. She loved him with her entire heart and still has feelings for him. Should she let him become a part of her life or leave the past alone or does she move on to what’s being offered in her present life?

Grant Sanchez is the captain of the team and has set his sights on Emerson. Grant is drop dead gorgeous,charming, and a notorious player. He’s in full pursuit of Emerson, wearing her down one charming smile at a time. Beneath the charming surface lies a man who is thoughtful, kind hearted, respectful, and considerate. Emerson is falling and the only thing holding her back is Miller.

Emerson has a dilemma, does she embrace a new future or repair the broken past and embrace a new chapter? The choices are impossible because each man is equally deserving of her love.

Let me tell you, I fell hard for both men. I thought I had my heart set on one man until I hit the next chapter and then my heart was beating for the other man. I still can’t choose and am anxious to see what comes next.

I’m not a fan of love triangles but can honestly say Rachel Van Dyken knocked it out of the stadium with Fraternize and I’m waiting to see which man wins the championship!

New Release + Review : Temporary by Sarina Bowen and Sarah Mayberry

Posted on 09/13/2017 by shellbellereads

Temporary

By Sarina Bowen and Sarah Mayberry

Buy: Amazon / B & N / IBooks / Kobo

Synopsis

The most beautiful man I’ve ever seen is the same one who can ruin everything.

The first time I lay eyes on Callan Walker, I know he’ll be trouble. With his smug grin, hot Aussie accent and thousand dollar shoes, he’s just the kind of rich guy who always gets what he wants.

And he wants two things: a night of sin, and my cooperation as he outmaneuvers his powerful mother to take control of his uncle’s estate.

I can’t afford either one. I’m the only thing standing between my little sister and the foster care system. He may have money and charm on his side, but I have something even more powerful — pure desperation. This temp job at his mother’s company can become a full time job for me. It has to.

But when Callan’s eyes rake over my body, sometimes I forget my obligations. His piercing gaze finds the fun, optimistic girl I used to be and not the tired person I’ve become.

And it works–if only for a moment. Our night together was a mistake. I can’t afford to get sucked into his high-powered family’s treachery. But the closer I get to Callan, the more layers I find beneath those expensive clothes. Though I can’t forget this is temporary. He’s temporary. I have too much to lose.

Too bad my foolish heart didn’t get the memo…

Michel’s Review

It always amazes me when two authors team up to write a book. It can either be a disaster with two very different voices or it can be a flawless, entertaining story that makes it impossible to figure out which author wrote what. Temporary by Sarina Bowen and Sarah Mayberry delivered a flawless, swoon worthy romance. Their first collaboration is a must read.

Grace has been working for a temp agency hoping to land a permanent job. She needs to find a permanent job with a steady income. Living in New York City is hard enough as a young woman but add the responsibility of raising a younger sister and it becomes even harder. When a great temp job comes up that offers the possibilities of a permanent job, Grace jumps at the opportunity. She just needs a chance to prove herself and show her outstanding work ethics.

Grace lands a temporary job at Walker Holdings. The CEO of Walker Holdings has assigned her to audit the estate of her late brother Jack. When Grace arrives at the estate she meets Callan Walker, Jack’s nephew. Callan is a distraction with a sexy Australian accent that she doesn’t need while doing her job. The more she’s around him the more resistible he is.

Their time together turns into more than a distraction. Their chemistry is intense but can it withstand their real everyday lives. Callan’s family interference and Grace’s need for a permanent job may make this once in a lifetime love a temporary romance.

Sarina and Sarah did a stellar job and I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

Sarah Mayberry was born in Melbourne, Australia, and is the middle of three children. From the time that she first “stole” paper from kindergarten and stapled it together to make “books,” Sarah has always wanted to be a writer. In line with this ambition, on graduation from high school she completed a bachelor of arts degree majoring in professional writing, then sat down to write a book. When inspiration didn’t strike, she began to wonder if, perhaps, she needed to live some life first before writing about it.

This still left the burning question of how to pay the rent. She found her way into trade journalism, working off the principle that it was better to write anything for a living than nothing at all. Her time there lead to the opportunity to launch a new decorator magazine for one of Australia’s major retailers, an invaluable and grueling experience that she found very rewarding.

But the opportunity to write fiction for a living soon lured Sarah away. She took up a post as storyliner on Australia’s longest running soap, Neighbours. Over two years she helped plot more than 240 hours of television, as well as writing freelance scripts. She remembers her time with the show very fondly — especially the dirty jokes and laughter around the story table — and still writes scripts on a freelance basis.

In 2003 she relocated to New Zealand for her partner’s work. There Sarah served as storyliner and story editor on the country’s top-rating drama, Shortland Street, before quitting to pursue writing full time.

Sarah picked up a love of romance novels from both her grandmothers, and has submitted manuscripts to Harlequin many times over the years. She credits the invaluable story structuring experience she learned on Neighbours as the key to her eventual success — along with the patience of her fantastic editor, Wanda.

Sarah is revoltingly happy with her partner of twelve years, Chris, who is a talented scriptwriter. Not only does he offer fantastic advice and solutions to writing problems, but he’s also handsome, funny and sexy. When she’s not gushing over him, she loves to read romance and fantasy novels, go to the movies, sew and cook for her friends. She has also become a recent convert to Pilates, which she knows she should do more often.

New Release + 5 Star Review: Autoboyography by Christina Lauren

Posted on 09/12/2017 by shellbellereads

Autoboyography

A Mature YA LGBT Romance

By Christina Lauren

Buy: Amazon

Synopsis

Fangirl meets Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda in this funny and poignant coming-of-age novel from New York Times bestselling author Christina Lauren about two boys who fall in love in a writing class—one from a progressive family and the other from a conservative religious community.

Three years ago, Tanner Scott’s family relocated from California to Utah, a move that nudged the bisexual teen temporarily back into the closet. Now, with one semester of high school to go, and no obstacles between him and out-of-state college freedom, Tanner plans to coast through his remaining classes and clear out of Utah.

But when his best friend Autumn dares him to take Provo High’s prestigious Seminar—where honor roll students diligently toil to draft a book in a semester—Tanner can’t resist going against his better judgment and having a go, if only to prove to Autumn how silly the whole thing is. Writing a book in four months sounds simple. Four months is an eternity.

It turns out, Tanner is only partly right: four months is a long time. After all, it takes only one second for him to notice Sebastian Brother, the Mormon prodigy who sold his own Seminar novel the year before and who now mentors the class. And it takes less than a month for Tanner to fall completely in love with him.

*****

Michel’s Review

LGBT romance is not usually by cup of tea but the synopsis as well as the author captured my attention. I am a big fan of YA romance and am the mother of two teenagers. I felt like I had an understanding of the maturity level as well as thought process in the teenage world. What I didn’t know much about was the religious aspect of this book.

This book was an eye opener because it gave me a better understanding of what many gay young people deal with on a daily basis within their families, among their peers, and society as a whole. Geographical locations do make a difference in how society accepts the gay community. In this case it was in Utah where the Mormon religion dominates the area. The Mormon religion is more than a religious practice, it has a strict moral code in which the practitioners follow in every aspect of life.

This book became more than two teenage boys struggling to find their place in life as gay men, it was a case of religion verses sexuality, family relationships verses religion.

Christina Lauren did an impeccable job delivering a honest portrayal of all these issues. They created an honest insight without delving into too much religion or too much gay rights issues. They created two dynamic interesting young men finding love in a very difficult time of their lives with very difficult life circumstances. They were sensitive with such matters and made the boys the most important part of this book.

I commend them for writing this book!

Michel’s Review

Delirious by M.S. Force is the sixth book in the Quantum series. Although many would say it could be read as a stand alone novel, I think the entire series should be read first because it gives the reader a better understanding and background the Quantum family dynamics, The Quantum club, and part of the Aileen’s journey to present day.

***

Aileen is a breast cancer survivor. She has spent the past year fighting for her life while trying to stay strong for her two children. When she came to L.A. it was more than starting over, it was bringing her closer to the support system she needed in her family’s life.

***

Aileen met Kristian at Natalie and Flynn’s wedding. Although they hit it off neither of them were in the right head space to begin anything. With Aileen moving to L.A. it brings her closer to Kristian. Kristian has more secrets than his lifestyle at the Quantum club, his past has left demons that can’t be exorcised. He has to confront those demons if he wants any kind of fulfilling relationship with Aileen.

***

Aileen has spent the last year with her life out of her control. Coming to L.A. is more than a new start, it’s taking the control back in her life. That includes choosing a relationship with Kristian and accepting his lifestyle and haunted past.

***

M.S. Force delivered more than the typical BDSM type romance. She created two dynamic characters who both have lived through horrific events in life and learned how to survive. She allowed them to reach for a better future with hope, peace, and love.

I think this is my favorite book in the series.

Release Blitz + 5 Star Review: Drunk On You by Harper Sloan – The Hope Town Series – Book 4

Posted on 09/12/2017 by shellbellereads

It was supposed to be fun.

A mutual use of each other’s bodies.

To be a ruse to the world around us.

I wanted to be free from my ex, and he wanted to escape his.

One drunken night turned a joke into a life-changing moment.

He warned me not to fall for him, and I should’ve listened.

He intoxicated me.

He made me crave him.

He ruined me.

In the end, I’ll never be the same.

Michel’s Review

Hope Town just got a little bit hotter with the latest release, Drunk On You by Harper Sloan.

Shane and Nikki have more in common than mutual friends. They are both dealing with stalking exes that have made their lives miserable. After dealing with the bad relationships, they are both dealing with moving on because their exes just don’t want to let go of their lives. The one thing they both want back is control over their lives and relationships.

Nikki is a sweet soul dedicated to her teaching career. Her ex cheated on her while they were in a four year relationship. She always put him first and herself second. After a year apart he has decided he wants her back and won’t take no for answer. She’s decided to take control of her life and next relationship. She won’t allow another man to walk all over her nor will she accept mediocre. She wants it all and wants it on her terms. In the meantime she is going to put herself back out there and enjoy life. That moment begins in the Dirty Dog when Shane gives her an unforgettable dirty dance.

Shane is dealing with his own troublesome ex who is persistent. He felt he lost control of his life when he was in a relationship with her. Her emotions and demands drained him dry. He’s ready for something more but it is going to be on his terms. He will dictate the when, the where’s, and the how’s. When he sees Nikki at the bar, he’s ready to put his plan into action.

What starts out as a night of fun with promised pleasure quickly turns into something sizzling. The only thing getting burned this time around is the sheets!

Drunk On You is the best book in the Hope Town series to date. This book had a bit of a light BDSM theme that was romantic and charming at the same time. I fell hopelessly in love with Shane and admired the person Nikki was.

They both deserved this happily ever after. I can’t wait to see who falls next in The Hope Town series. Great job Harper Sloan!

Harper is a NEW YORK TIMES, WALL STREET JOURNAL and USA TODAY bestselling author residing in Georgia with her husband and three daughters. She has a borderline unhealthy obsession with books, hibachi, tattoos and Game of Thrones. When she isn’t writing you can almost always find her with a book in hand.

Excerpt:

Sawyer

My throat tightened and a heaviness grew in my chest like my heart didn’t know whether to beat faster or stop beating altogether. “Did you leave me all this to show me the life you could’ve had, but didn’t? Why!?” I pounded the wheel again and then again, and again and again until my vision was blurry and all I could see was the redness of my own heated rage. “You’re a fucking coward! You fucking COWARD!” I screamed to no one, pounding on the wheel until the skin across my knuckles split and blood dripped between my fingers.

Strong hands bit into my biceps, yanking me from the cab. I was spun around by my shoulders and found myself face to face with Finn. “I like it when you swear,” he said, pressing close.

“Finn, get off me! Get off me! Let me go!” I wailed, struggling to free myself from his grip. Kicking out my legs only to connect with the air as he evaded my every move.

A growl tore from his throat. Finn picked me up and walked me to the back of the truck, setting me on the open tailgate. He pushed himself between my legs and hovered over me to keep me from leaping off.

“Let me go,” I demanded, pushing at his hard chest. “I don’t have time for your broodiness right now.”

Finn held my wrists together with one hand. “No, of course you don’t. You’re too busy tearing up pictures and screaming at no one.”

“Let me go,” I repeated.

“No,” he said between clenched teeth.

“Just go! Leave me alone. Leave meeeeeee!” I wailed as I pounded against his stone chest.

“You don’t want to hit me,” he warned, his eyes hardened.

“Then let me go.”

“Why?” He stepped in closer, unaffected by my attempt to fight against him. My inner thighs were touching his outer thighs.

“Because she did!” I screamed, my eyes sprang open to find his cold blue gaze. “She could have run anywhere and taken me with her. Instead she left him but she left me too. She was a coward who couldn’t make the right decision and I love her. I love her…but I hate her. I hate her so much…so…” I was interrupted when Finn’s lips pressed against mine, momentarily rendering me stupid. I pointed my toes toward the sky to avoid my initial instinct which was to wrap my legs around him. It was so consuming that I momentarily forgot to fight him off, but I didn’t need to, he pulled his lips from mine.

“Stop doing that,” I said. I pushed him off but he stayed between my legs, his hands on my bare back just under the hem of his big t-shirt I was wearing. His gaze hardened. I could see the conflict written in his lined forehead and the deep V between his eyes. I had no doubt the conflict had everything to do with me.

And kissing me.

“It’s your fault that I do it,” Finn said, his voice deep and smooth against my chin and then my neck.

“So that’s your plan? Kiss me every time you want to shut me up?” I asked, still feeling every bit of my anger but also feeling something else. Something that sent tingles between my legs and an ache in my core. “Thank you for saving me. Really. Thank you. I appreciate it,” my voice cracked. “But you can just leave me alone now. And please, STOP kissing me.” My words a whisper.

“I’m going to kiss you whenever I want to kiss you,” Finn stated as if I didn’t have a say in the matter.

The early morning sunlight highlighted the beads of sweat trickling from his shoulders down his broad chest and across the valleys of his defined abs. He was standing so close that we were breathing in each other’s air.

“Whenever you want to kiss me?” I laughed. “I don’t understand you. I don’t understand any of this. You’re always mad at me. Why did you save me? Why do you keep kissing me when you’re always mad at me?”

“It’s when I’m pissed off at you that I want to kiss you the most,” Finn said, his voice flowing over my skin like a silky blanket. He slid me closer so I could feel the outline of his rigid erection as if he were proving a point. He lowered his lips to mine and consumed my mouth in a greedy kiss that had me shaking with need and spinning with confusion.

“Do you always kiss everyone you hate?” I asked, yanking my lips from his.

“Does this feel like hate to you?” he growled pushing his hard length between my legs.

Michel’s Review

It’s a crazy coincidence that The Outskirts by T.M. Frazier released the same day Hurricane Irma decided to unleash her fury on Florida. The southerly part of Florida experienced the fury of mother nature while readers were introduced to small town Floridian life near the swamps of the Everglades and Naples. When most people think of Florida they quickly envision the coastal beaches, high energy cities, and theme park magic but beyond those perceptions are tight knit small town communities that thrive on fishing and the enterprise it’s vast environment provides. These small towns don’t depend on tourism and the other venues of business to survive. They depend on one another and their community as a whole. Many towns like the Outskirts were destroyed by the wrath of mother nature but T.M. Frazier captured their spirit and clearly showed their true grit and strength of survival long after the storm winds have diminished. Readers will be charmed with the dynamic people that give the Outskirts life.

Sawyer Dixon escaped her life in North Carolina after the death of her mother. Her mother left her a deed for a piece of land in the swamps of Outskirt, Florida. It was all the permission Sawyer needed to escape her abusive father and the church that ruled her life. It didn’t matter that she had never stepped outside her religious community nor did it matter that she didn’t know a living soul in her new home. It was freedom.

Coming to the Outskirts was an eye opener. For one thing, the town is almost a ghost town. The job opportunities are void. Her new neighbor is hostile. The town sheriff is determined to help her in anyway possible. The only bar/restaurant is willing to hire her without any experience. No one seems to know who her mother was but it is clear that her mother was very much a part of this community years ago. Sawyer sees every aspect of the Outskirts as an opportunity in her new life.

Finn Hollis, an Outskirts notorious citizen, has lost himself after experiencing a life changing tragedy. He retreated to the swamps and withdrew from the living until Sawyer Dixon showed up in his swamp. Suddenly he’s discovering that life goes on and he may want to jump back in. Sawyer’s determination, innocence, and tenacity awakens his desire and need to protect. She has earned his respect and is quickly winning his heart.

They are both beginning new lives in the Outskirts but trouble is rolling in. Cliffhanger.

Tate (Temptation #5) by Ella Frank

Publishing Date: September 12th, 2017

Genre: Contemporary MM Romance

William Tate Morrison – The man who came into my life and turned my entire world—and me—on its ass.

Logan Mitchell has always been a man with a plan.

One for work. One for his relationship. And one for his life. Which is exactly the way he liked it—until recently.

Now with words like marriage and weddings floating around his head, Logan’s plans have suddenly changed course, and where they want him to go has him feeling somewhat distracted.

Tate Morrison knows Logan better than anybody else—or so he thinks. So when his lawyer is finding it hard to sleep at night, he chalks it up to the craziness that has recently descended on their lives.

Never in a million years would he guess what’s really on Logan’s mind.

Tate is the fifth book in the Temptation Series, and the next chapter in the lives of the two men we have all come to know and love.

Release Day Blitz + 4.5-Star Review: Lust by Emma Hart

Posted on 09/12/2017 by cafemamanc7

New York Times bestselling author, Emma Hart, brings together two polar-opposite single parents in the second book in the sinfully sexy Vegas Nights series.

Detective Adrian Potter had a lot to answer for. I didn’t care that he was tasked with shutting down the city’s most prolific hookers.

I cared that he was stopping me from providing for my daughter.

He didn’t care.
Not at all.
Until I broke down in the backseat of his car… And he let me go.

Adrian was a single parent, too. He knew how hard I had it. At least, he thought he did.
He had a job. He had people who cared. He didn’t know just how lucky he was.

My name is Perrie Fox.
I was a whore of the highest value.

Until Detective Adrian Potter.

Until the tattooed, redemption-seeking detective entered my life, looking for his fairytale.

The cop and the hooker.

Happily ever fucking never.

You’ve met one Fox sibling.
Now meet the other…

(LUST is book two of the Vegas Nights series. While it is a standalone, the time frame does overlap with scenes in the previous book, SIN. You can, however, read LUST without reading SIN.)

Tracey’s Review

So, a hooker and a cop. Seen it, you say. But, no, I say, you haven’t seen it like this, like Emma Hart’s written them in LUST, the second book in her Vegas Nights series. Trust me when I say that neither Perrie Fox nor Adrian Potter are like the others that you’ve seen. Emma has written a couple of characters with plenty of heart, lots of sass, and enough chemistry between them to power, well, Las Vegas.

Emma’s characters never fail to grab me, heart and soul, and Perrie and Adrian are some of my favorites to date. These two are all sizzle and pop from their first meeting. Polar opposites, or so it would seem, it doesn’t take too long to figure out that they’re more alike than they’d like to admit, and just what each other needs.

And those kids, though. It only seems fitting that someone as sassy and snarky and take-no-nonsense as Perrie would have a mini-me that can almost, almost out-attitude her. Lola had me laughing out loud in pretty much every scene she was in. And, Zac, Adrian’s son, is the perfect match for Lola, and the constant reminder of what a great father Adrian is. Even with all of their demons, Perrie and Adrian have done a great job as parents, and the love between them and their kids is evident.

You can’t help but fall for the characters in Emma’s books, because, beneath the story, they’re doing the best that they can, just like the rest of us. Physical attraction aside, Perrie and Adrian are parents, children, people working to get a job done, and, at the end of the day, just people. Dealing with the seamier side of life has left them both somewhat jaded and untrusting, and seeing those layers peel away the longer that they spend time together made for one of Emma’s best stories yet.

LUST is 4.5-stars worth of snark, spark, and heart-mending, and I absolutely adored it. Although it’s part of a series, it can be read as a standalone (although, why, why, why, would you want to miss the first book? Get reading!). It needs to be on your TBR, and fast. You’ll be in love before you know it.

By day, New York Times and USA Today bestselling New Adult author Emma Hart dons a cape and calls herself Super Mum to two beautiful little monsters. By night, she drops the cape, pours a glass of whatever she fancies—usually wine—and writes books.

Emma is working on Top Secret projects she will share with her followers and fans at every available opportunity. Naturally, all Top Secret projects involve a dashingly hot guy who likes to forget to wear a shirt, a sprinkling (or several) of hold-onto-your-panties hot scenes, and a whole lotta love.

She likes to be busy—unless busy involves doing the dishes, but that seems to be when all the ideas come to life.
