BEYOND THE BASES BY KAYLEE RYAN-RELEASE BLITZ



Blurb

What happens when you want more in life than just running the bases?

You hang out at home plate and stop playing the field.

He's sexy and irresistible. I've done my best to ignore the magnetism that flows between us. I don't need complications in my life. I can't get wrapped up in his world, the last thing I need is to get attached to a professional athlete. I don’t have time for heartbreak.

Something about her pulls me in. I want to get to know her. I want a chance to show her I'm more than just my career, my paycheck. I'm the man for her. I know I am. No matter how much she resists this connection between us. It doesn't change the fact that she’s my grand slam.



Larissa is a single mom and Easton is a major league ball player. The attraction is instant, and it is mutual. But, Larissa is reluctant, and figures there is no way that a player (in more than one way( like Easton is going to be interested in her, and in being a part of her life, with the baggage that she brings to the relationship.

I loved that it's Larissa who is reluctant in this, and Easton is pretty much all in from the very first time they meet. Usually, it is the other way, with the woman willing to risk her heart and the man who is reluctant, so I enjoyed this and the fact that it felt a little different.

I enjoyed the writing style of this and the characters. I liked that you could relate to both of them and that I was able to believe in the relationship. The pacing was pretty good, although I did think the time it took from Larissa to fight the relationship with Easton to being willing to be all in with him was a little quick. But it worked overall.



I love a good sports romance. I may not be the biggest fan of any sporting teams in life, but I definitely enjoy them in books. Add in a single parent to the mix and you hit another pocket of kryptonite for me. This book was a quick read for me and it left me with a smile on my face.

I liked Larissa. She has some baggage with her that holds her back initially, and I respected that about her. She wasn't willing to go all in immediately, even though there's no denying she's attracted to Easton. I liked seeing her growth as a character throughout the book.

Easton was a pretty good book boyfriend. I like that he was ready to show he was serious right from the start, that he wasn't this typical player Larissa would have to worry about reforming. I like that he wasn't willing to give up on the idea of being with Larissa and I enjoyed his pursuit of her.

I liked how these characters came together. It wasn't easy initially on Larissa's part, but once she was in? She was all in. It made me appreciate their relationship-that it wasn't all easy. It worked well for these characters.

I mentioned this is a single parent romance as well. For me, the child character has to be done well; they can't be an afterthought. The child in this case definitely wasn't an afterthought and had me smiling.

I enjoyed this book. It was a quick read for me and one I would recommend.

ONE WEDDING, TWO BRIDES BY HEIDI BETTS - ARC REVIEW

Jilted bride Monica Blair can’t believe it when she wakes up next to a blue-eyed, smooth-talking cowboy in the middle of nowhere and with a ring on her finger. It had sounded like a great plan at the time. Get married, get revenge, and get her money back. So why is she cleaning out stables and trying to keep her hands off the hot cowboy helping her?

Ryder Nash would have bet his best Stetson that you’d never see him walk down the aisle. But when the city girl with pink-streaked hair and a frog tattoo hatches a plan to expose the conman who married his sister, no idea is too crazy. And even though Monica might be the worst rancher’s wife he’s ever seen, he can’t stop thinking about the wedding night they never had.

What was supposed to be a temporary marriage for revenge is starting to feel a little too real...

I loved the meet-cute in this.  Or rather the meet-jilted-and-tipsy.

Monica was supposed to marry the same man that Ryder's sister just married.  So, in her mind (drunk where bad ideas make sense) crashing the wedding, and showing him what he lost, and also showing the bride the loser she married, seems like a good idea.

Ryder to the rescue, of both Monica and the bride and groom (although, that turns out as you want it to once you hear Monica's story) and off she goes to his ranch.  His troubled ranch, the one he is in danger of losing and is struggling to make ends meet. 

A revenge marriage plot is formed, the money Monica has is promised to Ryder, and sparks start flying...the money isn't where it is supposed to be, the marriage is becoming more and more real, and the relationship neither of them were looking for is looking like exactly what they want.

It's not easy to get them to the Happily Ever After, but it was fin and enjoyable.  I am not sure I totally believed the premise, but hey, why not?

I laughed, I enjoyed this title, and I recommend it.

FOUR DAY FLING BY EMMA HART - BLOG TOUR & ARC REVIEW

blogtour.jpg

Imagine this.

FOURDAYFLING3
You’re ready to leave after a one-night stand, and you’re figuring out how to—shock horror—leave your number and ask him to be your fake boyfriend for your sister’s wedding this weekend.

When he wakes up.

Well, that happened to me. And over coffee and omelets, I found myself a date.

Which was how I ended up arriving at the wedding with a guy I knew nothing about.

I didn’t know his last name, or how we met, or how long we’d been dating. I didn’t know where he grew up, what he’d majored in in college, or how many siblings he had.

I sure as hell didn’t know he was Adam Winters, hotshot hockey player, and not only my father’s favorite player, but my little nephew’s freakin’ idol.

Which means I’m in trouble. Big, big trouble.

My mother is suspicious, my sister is bridezilla on crack, and my grandpa will tell anyone who’ll listen about his time in Amsterdam’s Red Light District.

Four days.

I have to keep this up for four days, and then Adam and I can return to our regular lives, where we don’t have sex whenever we’re alone, and my family aren’t interrogating him over his intentions with me.

At least, that’s the plan.

And we all know what happens to those.


My family is insane. Poppy's family makes mine look normal. This in itself is impressive.

So, when she has an amazing night with Adam, it's a no-brainer that she thinks it would be easier for other one night stand to pretend to be her boyfriend than it would be to attend her sister's wedding without a date. Yes, really, staring at her sleeping one night stand is a good idea in comparison.

And, it turns out, even though there are some hurdles along the way, that inviting her one night stand to be her boyfriend is the best of all possible good ideas. They work. And, before long, it is clear that Poppy and Adam are no longer pretending, but they have the real thing.

But, their lives are complicated. Impressively, a little more complicated than pretending to be together. Watching them, and laughing (with and at them) work this all out and figure out a way to be together is a lot of fun.

Trust me, you will laugh your way through this book...and then you just might call your mom as all of a sudden her quirks don't seem all that bad.

I laughed, I loved this book, and I recommend it.

“Ready?” Adam strolled out of the bedroom, playing with the button on his shorts. “For lunch with my mother?” I turned and stared at him, expressionless. “I’m thrilled.” He laughed and adjusted the short sleeve of his white shirt. “It’s what—an hour? Then she’ll be back snapping at your sister’s ankles. Surely you can give Rosie a break for sixty whole minutes.” “Oh no. I’ve done that guilt trip my entire life. I’m not getting it from my fake boyfriend, too.” I waggled my finger at him before turning back to the mirror to finish my make-up. “And yes, I can give her a break, but it doesn’t mean I need to be happy about it.” “Do you ever get along?” “Yes. When I’m in Orlando and she’s in Key West.” “I mean when you’re together.” “In the same room together, or having a conversation together?” “Now you’re just being awkward, Red.” I brushed a final stroke of mascara over each of my eyes, then stopped, wand in hand, and met his eyes in the reflection of the mirror. “Given how you ended up here, I would have thought you knew that awkward was my default mode.” “That was cute-awkward. This is attitude-awkward.” “How do you know there’s a difference?” He pointed at himself. “Four sisters. I grew up with attitude-awkward. I could recognize it blindfolded with hands cuffed behind my back from two hundred miles away.” “Wow. Someone’s cocky.” “I thought we established that the night we met.” My cheeks flushed. Damn it. Why did I have to blush like an idiot? Oh, that’s right. I was a redhead and so pale I was a distant relative of Casper the Friendly Ghost, which meant you could see my blushing a mile off. “You’re adorable when you blush.” Adam grinned. “Thank God,” I drawled. “That was my life goal. Be adorable. Now, I can get it in neon lights over my bed.”

Meet P. Dangelico
Dangelico loves romance in all forms, cuddly creatures (four legged and two), really bloody sexy pulp, the NY Jets (although she’s reconsidering after this season), and to while away the day at the barn (apparently she does her best thinking shoveling horse crap). What she’s not enamored with is referring to herself in the third person and social media so don’t expect her to get on Twitter anytime soon. Oh, and although she was born in Italy, she’s been Jersey Strong since she turned six.
