MORE THAN CRAVE YOU BY SHAYLA BLACK-RELEASE BLITZ



Logical. Rich. Driven. And he wants her. . .

More Than Crave You, an all-new sexy standalone from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shayla Black is LIVE!


I'm Evan Cook—billionaire tech entrepreneur and widower. Professionally, I’ve got it all. But since my wife died, my personal life has fallen apart. Remarrying seems like the obvious answer, so I place an ad. I'm not asking for much. The ideal woman only needs to be smart, organized, pretty, and helpful—both in and out of bed—without expecting romance. I never thought to look right in front of me…but it turns out that Nia Wright, my sexy, sassy assistant, just might be the perfect candidate.

After an unexpectedly hot night together, I'm ready to stop interviewing strangers and simply marry her. On paper, she ticks every box on my list. Best of all, she's far too sensible to fall for me. I didn’t see the flaw in my logic until it was too late. I never thought I’d lose my heart for the first time. And I definitely never imagined Nia could consume me. But she's harboring a secret that could tear us apart. Can I prove I more than crave her before it’s too late?

REAL SEXY BY MEGHAN MARCH - REVIEW



Country music star Boone Thrasher has never walked away from a fight, and he’s willing to put everything on the line to win the woman he can’t live without in the conclusion to the Real Dirty Duet by USA Today bestselling author Meghan March. 

Real Sexy should be read following Real Dirty.


First, and most important, this is not a standalone. If you haven't read the first book in the series, stop here and read it. I'll wait.

Meghan March titles are always a little dramatic and a little over the top. If a disaster can happen, it will. If there's a cliche waiting, it's going to be in the book.

So, why do I enjoy them as much as I do?

Because, bottom line, they are enjoyable, well written fun. I'm always engaged. I'm laughing. I'm pulling for the characters and their relationship. I'm enjoying the writing and the pacing of the story.

This starts off right where the previous title in the duet ends so it doesn't take too long for the cliffhanger to resolve.

I enjoyed Boone and Ripley. I enjoyed that he was both a celebrity and the best guy she'd ever known. I enjoyed their relationship. I loved the fact that he was all in well before she was...and how (mostly) patient he was with her while she was figuring out that she was as in love with him as he was with her.

Add in a parrot with a profanity laden vocabulary and you have a duet that's a pleasure to read.

I enjoyed and recommend this title.

REAL DIRTY BY MEGHAN MARCH - REVIEW



Country music's bad boy, Boone Thrasher, takes center stage in USA Today bestselling author Meghan March's brand new stand alone Real Dirty Duet! 

I have everything a guy could want—a new single burning up the charts, more money than a simple country boy could spend, and a woman I’m planning to marry. 
Until she doesn’t show up for my proposal. 
The life I thought was so perfect, isn’t. 
The guy who thought he had everything, doesn’t. 
I’ve got my heart on lockdown, but life sends me straight into the path of a mouthy bartender who puts me in my place. 
Now the only place I want to put her is under me.
I thought I was done with love, but maybe I’m just getting started. 

Real Dirty is the first book of the Real Dirty Duet. Boone's story concludes in Real Sexy.



I enjoyed this title, a lot.  There was something about their attraction, their first meeting, and the fact that she likes Boone less knowing that he is famous than she would were he just a "regular" guy.

I didn't love that their first time together was while she was drunk...but, it worked for them.  Boone is a good guy, but he's not always great at remembering to be a good guy.  He plans events to bring people to a fledgling bar, but forgets to consider the logistics of the idea.  He takes a woman home, and she is drunk, but forgets to consider that she is drunk.  While this is not my favorite circumstance in a novel, it didn't ruin it for me.

This had the angst and twisty relationships that I have come to expect from a Meghan March title, and it kept it a fun, enjoyable read.  I liked the characters, and the story, and the fact that the second book in the duet has been published, so I didn't have to wait to find out what happens next.

I enjoyed and recommend this title.

Author Bio


Tessa Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high school graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans and laptop, driving cross-country to New York City in under four days.

Her most valuable life experiences were learned thereafter while waitressing at K-Dees, a Manhattan pub owned by her uncle. Inside those four walls, she met her husband, best friend and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put herself through Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace University at the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the work force as a journalist followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention.

She now lives in Long Island, New York with her husband of ten years and six-year-old daughter. Although she is severely sleep-deprived, she is incredibly happy to be living her dream of writing about people falling in love.

HELLO STRANGER BY LISA KLEYPAS - REVIEW



A woman who defies her time

Dr. Garrett Gibson, the only female physician in England, is as daring and independent as any man—why not take her pleasures like one? Yet she has never been tempted to embark on an affair, until now. Ethan Ransom, a former detective for Scotland Yard, is as gallant as he is secretive, a rumored assassin whose true loyalties are a mystery. For one exhilarating night, they give in to their potent attraction before becoming strangers again.

A man who breaks every rule

As a Ravenel by-blow spurned by his father, Ethan has little interest in polite society, yet he is captivated by the bold and beautiful Garrett. Despite their vow to resist each other after that sublime night, she is soon drawn into his most dangerous assignment yet. When the mission goes wrong, it will take all of Garrett's skill and courage to save him. As they face the menace of a treacherous government plot, Ethan is willing to take any risk for the love of the most extraordinary woman he's ever known.


I can't seem to decide if I like historical romance...or if I don't. If I'm drawn to a simpler time, or I'm not. But what I can say is that a Lisa Kleypas historical novel always a pleasure. I think because she knows how to set a book in the past without letting it take over the story and feel like a history lesson.

I loved this book. Ethan and Garrett have a passion and a connection you just can't ignore. Yes there were parts that felt like a history lesson, but in such a perfectly balanced way, you enjoy it.

Showing up when he's needed, the whistle, never leaving her alone (even on that saddest of Tuesdays when she thought he did) and asking for her when he believed his life was ending. Their connection is obvious and palpable. It draws you in and, until they hail a hansom or travel by train, you forget it's a historical romance and just focus on the romance.

I think that's the secret, by the way, it's not whether or not it's set in London in the 1800s (although, London is such a wonderful city who can complain about that setting) or New York in 2018, it's the writing, the story, and the connection that draws you in.

I loved, also, that Garrett is loosely based on a real person. But you will have to read the author's note for those details.

This one grabs you at the beginning and doesn't let go.

I enjoyed and recommend this title.
