ALL THE WAY BY KRISTEN PROBY - ARC REVIEW

In New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Proby’s brand new Romancing Manhattan series, three brothers get more than they bargain for as they practice law, balance life, and navigate love in and around New York City.

Finn Cavanaugh is known for being a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom. He owns a successful law firm with his brother and brother-in-law in Manhattan. On the rare occasion that he has down time, he spends it at his home in Martha’s Vineyard. But when Finn’s troubled niece goes to stay with him for the summer in Martha’s Vineyard, he’s reluctant to take time off from work. That is, until he meets his beautiful new neighbor, London.

London Watson is a Tony Award winning actress on Broadway. When tragedy strikes her family, leaving her alone and injured, she flees Manhattan for Martha’s Vineyard. Hoping she can figure out how to pick up the pieces of her life, London is convinced that she’ll never be able to return to the stage. But when she meets the charming young girl next door and her sexy uncle, they soon lure London out of her shell as she finally begins to heal from the wounds of her past.

But when London feels confident enough to return to the spotlight, she’s dealt another devastating blow. Will the newfound love between London and Finn be enough to conquer all? Or will it be over before it has a chance to grow…?

There's little that is more exciting than the start of a new Kristen Proby series.  That feeling knowing that you are about to meet characters you are going to want to spend time with, that you are going to feel a connection to, and that you are going to enjoy.

Finn and London definitely met my expectations.  There was some world building, as there are 3 attorneys and I am guessing all will get their stories, but it was balanced well with telling their story.

I loved that Finn was just a little less than perfect, that he was a little awkward and had questionable timing when he initially approached London to ask her out.  I loved that she only sort of held it against him.  I loved how human, how real, and how touchable these characters felt.

When you pick up a book by Kristen Proby, you know you are going to get a story with heart.  With characters who feel, and you feel right along with them.

I enjoyed and recommend this title.  And, I can't wait for the next in the series.

SMOKIN BY OLIVIA RUSH-RELEASE BLITZ

Blurb

Falling for a fireman is so cliché.

Yet, here I am. The elementary school teacher who’s all worked up over New York’s finest.

It started out as a simple ride along.

Now the only brass pole I want to slide down is his.

I know, good girls don’t think those thoughts, right?

Wrong!

The sculpted jaw, the tight t-shirt rippling with muscles. I’m only human.

Now, I’m the only witness to a crime. One that puts me on the run.

Solving the case is our main focus. Well, almost.

Staying at his place was supposed to be temporary. His love wasn’t expected.

Can a girl have her cake and him too?

Hold You Close, an all-new second chance standalone romance by New York Times bestselling author Corinne Michaels and USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow, is available now!

From NYT Bestseller Corinne Michaels & USA Today Bestseller Melanie Harlow, comes a second chance standalone romance.

Ian Chase broke my heart at seventeen, and I’ve spent the last eighteen years hating him for it.

He makes it easy, with his smart mouth and playboy lifestyle—which I unfortunately have to observe since he lives behind me. Every time I see him climbing out of his pool, practically naked and unreasonably sexy, my blood boils.

I’ve always loved to loathe him.
I never planned to need him.

***
London Parish is my little sister’s best friend, not that it stopped me from falling for her.

Our history is complicated. The only thing we have in common is being godparents to my sister’s three adorable kids—until our lives are changed in one tragic moment.

Now we’re trying to raise the children we love, mourn an unthinkable loss, and fight an undeniable attraction.

My life is already upside-down, and the last thing I need is for old feelings to resurface.

Because I’ll never be able to keep her, no matter how hard I try to hold her close.

HEARTBREAKER BY KATIE MCCOY-RELEASE BLITZ

Blurb

Five guys. One bar. And a whole heap of sexy trouble…

Liam Callahan is devastatingly handsome, infuriatingly aloof and… my new boss? Put that at the top of the list of ‘Things I Wish I’d Known (Before I Was Panting in His Arms During a Sizzling Midnight Make-out Session.)’

My bartending gig at Rascals was supposed to be a fresh start for me. Now I’m juggling drink orders AND red-hot sexual tension - but I refuse to let Liam’s smoldering stares throw me off my game…

Until one late night leads to another. And another. Liam has a reputation as Mr Heartbreaker, but he’s revealing a whole new side of himself: funny, playful, and most definitely NSFW. But this rascal has made a rule of never getting in too deep, and despite the real connection between us, something’s holding him back.

Can we find a way to put the past behind us and move on? Or will my new beginning end in heartbreak before it’s even begun?

Find out in the hot new stand-alone romance from Katie McCoy!

Liam and Juliet (not Jules, as far as he's concerned) have a steamy initial encounter and then walk away. To both of their surprise, he's her new boss.

Liam has a plan. Life is supposed to go a certain way and certain things are supposed to happen. All according to plan.

Juliet had a plan. Was living the life she wanted until an accident changed things for her and made her life go in a different direction.

Both of them come to the relationship after hitting a wall, so to speak, and realizing that sometimes the things that want have become things that are not attainable or that look different than they thought.

So, they date casually. And then it's more serious...and then it's just...more.

Watching them figure this out, as well as enjoying their scorching connection, made this book a lot of fun.

I enjoyed this title and I recommend it.

TRICK PLAY BY MAX MONROE-BLOG TOUR

Booze, women, and brotherhood—that’s what my good friend Quinn’s bachelor party should have been.

Booze, one mysterious raven-haired woman, and an arrest—that’s what it was.

As Cam Mitchell, a New York Maverick and one of the best tight ends in the professional football league, my to-do list should be pretty simple.

Play ball.
Get laid.
Have fun.

But after one hour with a stripper named Trixie, that list of mine has shifted dramatically.

Tell Quinn to call my lawyer.
And, for the love of God, don’t get fired from the Mavericks.

I swear, I tried to make it stop there.
But one tiny thing keeps finding its way to the very top…

Find out more about the dark-haired beauty with the big blue eyes and make her mine.

Too bad it’s a hell of a lot more complicated than that.

How do you fall in love with a woman whose real name you don’t know?

Well, ladies and gentlemen…I’m about to find out.

I love sports romance. I love Max Monroe. When you put the two together I do a little happy dance-without fail. I enjoyed this story and it definitely left me with a smile on my face.

This is a hard book to review without spoiling-in my opinion. It's one you just need to go into and experience. This had sections I just didn't see coming but made total sense. I enjoyed the ride Cam and Trixie went on.

I liked Trixie and I loved Cam. I thought they had a good connection, and I really did believe in the two of them. The sex was hot, steamy and fun.

The writing was fun, the plot was not what I expected. I love the supporting characters, they were a blast. I really enjoy Max Monroe's writing style and this book was no exception. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it.

Cam and Trixie (not her real name) meet in a strip club, and she is a stripper.

But, a stripper isn't really a great match for a NFL player, and one who spends time on the news, in the spotlight, and in the public eye.

Try telling this to Cam. Trixie tries, and really doesn't get far, as his attraction to her is one that he doesn't want to fight.

Max Monroe either works for me, or they don't. I enjoyed this one. Although, it is a bit hard to review as there are some spoilers of some major plot points that you need to give away to really write much about this title. So, I am going to leave this as saying that I enjoyed it.

I recommend this title.
