AWKWARD BY LILY KATE-RELEASE BOOST



Title: Awkward.
Author: Lily Kate
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: January 30, 2018

Blurb

Ladies,

I know how things look from the outside. I’m rich. I’m a successful surgeon. I’m handsome. I should have women lining up from here to New Jersey clawing for space in my bed, but there’s one huge catch.

I’m f*cking awkward.

Every time I get a date, I spoil it. Asked if she’s pregnant? Check. Forgot her name? Check. Bought a meat lover’s pizza for my vegan girlfriend? Check, check, check.

This is why my best friend, romance fanatic Allie Jenkins, has declared that she’s swooping in to save the day. She’s prepared a list of required reading straight from The Ripped Bodice, and I’m supposed to take notes, learn from the best, and put that shit into action. After all, practice makes perfect, right?

Wrong.



Jack and Allie are friends. Best friends. And, as we learned in When Harry Met Sally, in order for men and women to be just friends, well, it doesn't happen. One of them is going to be attracted to the other.

That's just how these things work.

Jack has convinced himself he's awkward. That he's an awful date and that he's hopeless when it comes to women. He can't figure out why he has the amazing relationship he has with Allie but can't find it with anyone else. The answer is that none of the other women are the best friend he's in love with.

This was my first title by Lily Kate, so I wasn't sure what to expect. What I got was a pleasure to read. The story was balanced. There wasn't too much time spent on the build up to the romance, but there was enough to let the reader know how they felt about one another and the strength of their friendship.

I also liked Allie. I liked how genuinely she wanted Jack to be happy, even though she believes he's not intetested in her.

Jack is charming. Yes, he's a little bit of a geek, but he's nowhere near as awkward as he thinks he is...he just needs the right woman and all is just fine.

I also liked how the author handled the shift from friends to lovers, the inevitable questions, the wondering where the other stands the morning after, the awkward moments, the time spent changing how you see someone who has always been there, but in a different way.

The writing, the characters and the dialogue are all strong. The book flows well and is just as believable when they switch to lovers as it is when they were friends.

I enjoyed this title overall, and I recommend it. I'm looking forward to reading other titles by this author.

LIVING OUT LOUD BY STACI HART - RELEASE BLITZ

Living Out Loud-ReleaseBlitz.jpg

LOL-wrap.jpgBestselling author Staci Hart brings you another installment of the Austen Series, inspired by the works of Jane Austen, with a heartfelt contemporary retelling of Sense and Sensibility.

When Annie Daschle arrives in New York City, the only thing she can control is her list.
Not her father’s death or the loss of her home. Not the hole in her heart or the defective valve that’s dictated so much of her life. But she can put pen to paper to make a list of all the ways she can live out loud, just like her dad would have wanted.
See the city from the top of the Empire State Building: Check.
Eat hot dogs on the steps of The Met: Check.
Get a job at Wasted Words: Check.
What wasn’t on her list: Greg Brandon. And just when she thinks she’s figured out where to put him, everything changes. In the span of a few staggering heartbeats, she finds herself her caught in the middle of something she can’t find her way out of, with no clear answers and no rules.
List or no list, she realizes she can’t control anything at all, not even her heart.
Not the decisions it makes, and not the moment it stops.

I do what I want and who I want. I don’t follow anyone’s rules—even my own. I knew I shouldn’t touch her, but it didn’t stop me. Didn’t stop me the second time either. Only made me want a third. My lifestyle suits the savage I am, and she doesn’t. But Temperance Ransom is my newest addiction, and I’m nowhere near ready to quit her yet. I’ll have her my way, even if it means dragging her into the darkness. Hopefully it doesn’t kill us both.

She’s also impulsive, easily entertained, and absolutely unapologetic about the fact that she loves to read and write smut. Her past lives include slinging auto parts, selling lingerie, making custom jewelry, and practicing corporate law. Writing books about dirty talking alpha males and the strong, sassy women who bring them to their knees is by far the most fabulous job she’s ever had.

Synopsis

“Sometimes, I feel like I’m watching a movie . . . that it’s not really me, Claire Richards, getting this second chance at life.”

“Open your eyes, it’s you, and I’m damn glad it’s with me.” ~ Aiken

Single mom and college professor Claire Richards only wanted a few hours of me time to soak in her tub, read a book, and drink wine.

But tragedy struck, and Claire found herself with a lot more me time than she bargained for.

Three years later, Claire is still mourning her losses when Aiken Fordham—who looks young enough to be one of her college students—moves in next door.

Forcing Claire to face her fears, Aiken almost forgets his reason for moving to Small Town, Pennsylvania. Falling for the sexy, smart, and strong professor next door was never in the plan.

But now it is . . . until their future intersects with their pasts.
