Forever With the CEO by Layla Hagen - ARC Review & Release Blitz

It began as a fake marriage. It became so much more.

Hold Me Forever by Layla Hagen-Release Blast

Release Date: January 18

As the hockey league’s star goalie, I live by three simple principles:

1. Keep a pristine image.

2. Work hard on the ice.

3. Don’t piss off the bosses…too much.

I was killing it until a mishap tarnished my image. Now, management has me cleaning up my reputation and coaching a bunch of kids. And damn, those little punks are growing on me, and so is the program coordinator, Kendra.

I’m hellbent on proving myself, but my attraction to Kendra takes me by complete surprise.

Her defenses are up, but I like a good challenge.

Management’s directives are clear: "Kendra is off-limits."

But like I said, I'm the goalie. I do the blocking. I won’t let anyone stand in my way.

When You're Mine by Layla Hagen-Release Blast

Take New York by storm and steer clear of serious relationships. That's the plan. That's the goal. It's easy too, now that my software company is making headlines. Nothing is getting in the way of that--not even my sexy personal trainer. I don't care how sexy and intriguing she is.
Mel Dawson keeps talking me into doing things, like watching the sunset and slowing down to enjoy life.
When she trains me, and I watch her body, I'm constantly fantasizing about exploring every inch of it all night long, claiming her mouth every time she gives me a sassy reply.

I don't even know who I am when I'm with her. I’m suddenly a completely different man. But, I like this version of myself better. Mel's smart, determined, and keeps me guessing.

She's everything I need and want, but I've been burned before. I'm used to taking chances in the boardroom, just not in my personal life. How much am I willing to risk for a chance to make her mine?

Say You're Mine by Layla Hagen-Blog Tour

I swear I didn’t mean to flirt with the world-famous Brayden Clarke—especially not right in the middle of an interview for a job.

It was a slip—or perhaps a gut reaction to his smoldering eyes and deep, sexy voice.

To my total disbelief, they give me the assignment. My task is simple: advise Brayden and his band on how to communicate with their fans. Easy-peasy. Or so I thought...

I can handle the job, but the sexy lead singer who's intent on getting under my skin might be too hot to resist.

But our lives are too different. His life is under constant scrutiny. I thrive on freedom and spontaneity. I like exploring the streets of New York and meeting up with my siblings without needing security detail.

But when we’re together, all our differences fade, and I can’t get enough of this man. And he won’t quit until he makes me his.

Winning Hollywood's Goodest Girl by Max Monroe-Blog Tour

A baby on the way first. Then love and marriage? It’s complicated on its best day.

Winning Hollywood’s Goodest Girl, an all-new not-to-be-missed, surprise baby romantic comedy standalone by New York Times bestselling author Max Monroe is available now! 

Raquel and Harrison sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then comes a baby in the baby carriage.

That’s how her brother used to sing it when we were kids—a simple ploy to get under my skin and make me stick my fist in his face—but man oh man, did he get the order wrong.

One night of “kissing” in New York catapulted us straight to the pregnancy portion of the song—surprise!—and now I have to figure out how to carry out the whole melody in reverse.

A baby on the way first. Then love and marriage? It’s complicated on its best day.

But our situation is far more problematic than just a simple twist of nursery rhyme lyrics. Before our night together, Raquel Weaver was the best-known good girl in Hollywood—a twenty-nine-year-old sexpot virgin whom the world adored and watched like a hawk.

Obviously, the consequences of that kind of reputation don’t just go away. Add in pregnancy hormones, the media, a fake fiancé, and a selfish manager, and you have the short list of my problems.

As a thirty-four-year-old, successful CFO of a multibillion-dollar media conglomerate, I thought I would be able to handle anything show business could throw my way, but I’m starting to think I might be in over my head.

Good thing I’m all in. Winning Hollywood’s goodest girl is going to take everything I’ve got.

Love Me Tomorrow by Maria Luis-Review Blast

They call her America’s Sweetheart.

And me? I’m the so-called “inked god” she dumped on TV.

I’ve tried to forget her. I’ve tried to move on. 

Until I discover that her family is opening a new restaurant next to my tattoo parlor.

If I were a gentleman, I’d offer my congratulations and go my own way.

If I were a gentleman, I’d let her be . . . but I’m not.

Savannah Rose may claim I’m nothing more than a friend, but that slight hitch in her breath whenever I get too close says that America’s sweetheart is nothing but a liar.

All it takes is one scorching kiss, and I vow in her ear: “You’re going to beg, Savannah. Beg me to touch you, beg me to give you more, and if you’re real good, maybe I’ll do it all over again before you have to beg for that too.”

I’m no gentleman.

But Savannah Rose? She’s no one’s sweetheart but mine.

Kiss Me Tonight by Maria Luis-Review Blast

I had it all.

The Super Bowl rings.

The hot shot TV gig.

Then I got fired.

Now I’m living in middle-of-nowhere Maine, playing assistant coach to the woman of my nightmares.

Did I mention that she and her son are my new neighbors?

If you talk to the locals, they’ll tell you Aspen Levi is the queen of high school football.
But if you ask me, my new head coach is a pain in my left nut sac.

She’s too blonde.

Too peppy.

And way too sexy for my peace of mind.

Only, one minute we’re fighting, and the next I can’t keep my hands off her. One hot kiss. One forbidden touch. I don’t do love but . . . 

What I want, I take, and what I want is Aspen Levi.

The Break-Up Bet by Cat Carmine-Reviews

Blurb

Never make a bet with a man who plays to win... 

Especially not a man like handsome, arrogant Connor Pratt.

AKA the huge PITA who’s currently crashing in my spare room.

AKA my brother’s best friend since they were about six.

AKA the one guy who still makes me feel like an awkward tongue-tied loser.

But when Connor moved in, I got a glimpse of another side of him. Because, like me, Connor’s going through a nasty break-up. And, like me, he’s just doing whatever he can to get through it.

Unfortunately, his method involves drinking alarming amounts of whiskey and watching a lot of, um … movies … that make every inch of my skin flush.

I’m just trying to be helpful when I tell him that he should try my way: copious amounts of baked goods, sappy romantic comedies, and late nights spent whining with girlfriends.

But I should have known Connor would take that as a challenge.

Now, he says he’ll try my way of dealing with a break-up … but only if I agree to try his. Six months rent to the person whose method works best.

We call it the break-up bet. And I’m going to win. Except right now, it feels like there’s a whole lot more at stake than just rent money…

A simple notification turns my world upside down...

The tabloids are reporting,

I’ve taken the crown and run. (Not entirely true)

As you might have guessed,

I’m not an ordinary girl and I don’t lead an ordinary life,

He turns my world right-side up.

Gorgeous, sexy, irresistible,

And utterly charming,

He’s exactly what I’m looking for.

Everything is almost too perfect,

Too easy.

Until I discover,

This hot-blooded royal has a reason for being here.

And it’s more than just me.

That thing I said about easy,

Turns out…

Nothing ever is.

My royal rebel has a name,

It’s Prince Adrien Laurent.

My name is Princess Victoria Blanchette.

And this is our story.

KEEPING HIM BY KENNEDY FOX-BLOG TOUR

   

Jackson Bishop is your typical playboy.

Unpredictable, charming, and overly confident.

Growing up in Texas, the ranch life is all he’s ever known. Horses and late night partying are his lifestyles, and all the local girls know it too. Riding lessons aren’t the only things taught at the stables, and he makes sure clients never leave unsatisfied. Everyone knows Jackson’s a wild card, but not everything is as it seems. He may be a womanizer on the surface, but he’s hiding deep feelings about the one who’s had his heart since he was a teen. Unfortunately, it’s not as simple as roping her in and claiming her as his.

Kiera Young is well-known for her sassy nature and outgoing personality. Though she’s one of the best horse trainers in the area, she’s never been able to tame her best friend and the man she’s secretly loved since she was fifteen—Jackson Bishop. She’s waited years for him to confess his true feelings but as time goes on, she decides she’s done waiting. Kiera finally meets a man who promises to give her the world, and when he pops the question, she says yes—knowing they’re both ready to settle down and start a family.

 Even if her heart beats for another man.

Jackson’s certain he’s lost Kiera for good and has no one to blame but himself. However, on the day of her wedding, he can’t bring himself to watch the woman he loves walk down the aisle to someone else. Kiera’s already having second thoughts and knows she can’t get married without his support. It’s not until she’s at the altar that she realizes she can’t let Jackson go and will do whatever it takes to keep him—even if it means running out on her own wedding.

ADD TO GOODREADS

I've been a fan of this series from the beginning and I have eagerly anticipated this story. I love, love, love friends to lovers books and I enjoy the writing style of these authors. As soon as this book hit my kindle I was ready to dive in. Overall, I enjoyed this story.

I believed wholeheartedly in Jackson and Kiera's friendship. I enjoyed getting to see how they grew up together, what made them into the people they are now. I felt like I was on a rollercoaster with them at times but it was a good ride.

Things didn't always go smoothly for these two. There were moments I was so frustrated with both of them that I wanted to reach through my kindle and shake them. But Jackson won me over. So completely. I didn't see his full swoonworthy potential in the other books, to be honest, but he blew me away in this one.

I enjoyed seeing the other characters from this series here and I'll be sad to say goodbye to them (until I re-read them LOL). I think the plot moved along well, and while there were many flashbacks I think it worked overall. I enjoyed this title and look forward to what these authors will come up with next.

Jackson and Kiera dance around one another in the first 3 books, so by time you get to this one (if you have read the others) you have a pretty good idea as to the scenario and the reasons Jackson is not at all happy that she is engaged to someone else.

The authors use flashbacks and tell the story of their history. Partly, I think, as a way to keep it from seeming like she jumps from one man to another. And, I see the reason they did this...but at the same time, I thought too much time was spent on the development of the past, and of their younger selves and relationship. And, it didn't really feel like a slow burn, as the characters are attracted to one another the entire time, and the present time events happen quickly enough that Kiera is worried about people finding out about them too soon, as not enough time has passed since she left her former fiancee during the wedding.

I enjoyed this title, overall. And, I do see the reason the authors chose to make this a longer title with the focus on developing the relationship from when they were younger.

The chemistry is there, and I think at least for readers who have read the other stories, it is nice to see things work out for them.

I recommend this title.

JUST EXES BY CHARITY FERRELL-RELEASE BLITZ

Blurb

Lauren

Running into an ex you haven’t seen in nearly a decade is never a good time.

Running into your ex while he’s arresting you is humiliating.

The handcuffs close around my fists at the same time he promises to hate me until he takes his last breath.

I can’t blame him. He pleaded for me not to walk away. He doesn’t know leaving him broke my heart as much as it did his.

It wasn’t for me. Rather, it was for someone else.

Gage

I skipped town after Hurricane Lauren obliterated my heart.

Coming home was a hard choice to make. Arresting her isn’t.

She has no idea of the demons I carry with me now. No idea that I’m a new man.

Two women ruined me.

One I gave my heart to.

The other punished me for it.

ADD TO GOODREADS

I liked the blurb of this book. I really thought it was going to be a little twistier with their relationship than it was.

Lauren and Gage have a history, and a nasty break up, and now he hates her. So, even though it seems clear there is more to the story, he arrests her for arson. So, here is an interesting set up for an ex lovers to enemies to lovers story. And, it really worked, at least the parts that revolved around him putting his life together.

There was also another element to this, and telling all is a spoiler although you do figure it out pretty quickly. That said, while it was interesting, I didn't think enoughtime had elapsed from the event to now for him to act toward it in the way he does. I know this makes no sense...but basically, when a character in a story has a trauma, for it to be a past trauma, it needs to be far enough in the past that I at least believe the character has been through the 4 stages of grief. I wasn't convinced here.

I did, however, enjoy this overall.

THE DOCTOR BY NIKKI SLOANE-RELEASE BLITZ

Blurb

For years, he was a part of my life. I watched him rush to the hospital countless times, his beautiful surgeon hands racing to save lives.

After all this time, I can’t escape the truth.

I want Dr. Lowe.

Lust chokes each moment we’re together. He promises to fulfill my fantasies—every dirty, naughty desire we can dream up.

Only, I can’t have him.

He’s confident. Experienced. Seductive.

And he’s my ex-boyfriend’s father.

ADD TO GOODREADS

When I think of Nikki Sloane's work I think hot and steamy. When I read the blurb for this book I knew she was definitely going to deliver on both of those things. I'm a fan of this Author and enjoyed this taboo tale.

Cassidy is a young woman (19) lusting after her ex-boyfriend's dad. When she realizes he wants her just as much as she wants him? Well, the fun truly begins. The sex here (and there's no shortage of it) is definitely hot, like kindle melting hot. The taboo element just adds a little something to some already spicy sexy times.

I thought this book was written well and it flowed easily. There were moments I definitely chuckled at some issues presented by the age gap, like Cassidy never having seen Dr. Lowe's favorite movies. There were some things I absolutely saw coming, reaction wise from other characters, but it all made sense to me. 

This slightly taboo tale was a quick, fun, naughty read. I enjoyed it and look forward to what this author gives us next. I would recommend this title.

Dr. Lowe (Greg) and Cassidy have a taboo relationship. He is a 40 year old trauma surgeon. She is 19, and his son's ex-girlfriend.

There's not a lot of story or character building in this title. But, there is a lot of sex. A lot of it. And, it's hot, scorching, burn up the Kindle hot.

Did I enjoy this one? Well, yeah, I can't lie. I did. But, I went into it knowing that sometimes the taboo stories are those that maybe focus on the taboo without working through a lot of the issues. There is mention of the reaction of his peers, and of his son, but this is a side note to the crazy hot sex.

For what this was, I enjoyed it. The book is well written, the sex is hot and the story moves. I wasn't bored, although I am not able to say I think Cassidy and Greg will be together for the long haul, but I enjoyed this read.

I recommend this title.
