Love Lessons by Sarina Bowen - Release Blitz & ARC Review

He needs an image makeover, she needs a mojo upgrade. A new lessons-in-seduction hockey romance from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Sarina Bowen.

After I’m arrested for throwing a raucous party, my hockey team says I have an image problem. And I need to fix it, stat.

Charity work? Check. Haircut? Sure. But I draw the line at hiring my neighbor to style me. In the first place “style” shouldn’t be a verb. And I’m tired of people who’d judge me on appearances.

Vera and I don’t see eye to eye on anything. She wants me to try on clothes, while I just want to remove hers. She's distractingly pretty, with soulful eyes and a sinful mouth that likes to argue with me.

But when management threatens my summer vacation, I grudgingly agree to Vera’s unusual proposal: she’ll give me an image makeover. But in return, she wants lessons in the art of seduction.

It sounds a little nutty, but I know a good opening when I hear it. Besides, it’s not like I’ll ever fall for her…

First, let me say, I love books where the hero is named Ian. No idea why, but that and the fact that this one was a Sarina Bowen title, and I was in.

Ian and Vera are complete opposites. She is all about image, it's what her job literally is, and Ian...well...isn't. which, ironically, is one of his main problems, although even he doesn't know why it's as big an issue to the team as it is.

Vera, well, she has no interest in anything to do with Ian...but, she feels just a little guilty about something she did and the result of her actions on him. I loved this. I loved her reaction to it. And, I thought it felt really real, like something that a person would do, and then feel bad about later. And, this is how I felt the entire book...like I was reading about people, and their reactions, and their real reactions to things happening to them.

Romance is predictable. You know what is going to happen, you know how it's going to end. What you don't know is how the author is going to get the reader (and their characters) there and Sarina Bowen is one of those authors who always deliver a ride worth reading.

I enjoyed and recommend this title.

The Scandal by Kristen Proby - Release Blitz & ARC Review

The Scandal is an all-new marriage of convenience, age-gap novel set in the Single in Seattle Series, featuring Stella McKenna

Who knew that weddings in Vegas were the real deal? I certainly didn't when I agreed to marry my co-worker while on a bender in Sin City. Now, I need a quick annulment, which means I need an attorney, STAT.

Honestly, with a name like Grayson Sterling, Esquire, I expected an old man in a three-piece suit. But the guy behind the desk is anything but stuffy and old. Tall and sexy with tattoos and striking blue eyes, I simply can't take my eyes off him, and I have no intention of declining his offer of a date...and more. So much more!

The conversation between us is good, and the man should win awards for his bedroom escapades. I find myself trusting him in ways I never thought I would--until he breaks that trust.

Gray insists he can fix it.

He claims he loves me.

But I don't know if we can survive this.

Returning Home by Kelly Elliott - Blog Tour & ARC Review

 Returning Home by Kelly Elliott is now live!

Buzz Bait

                                                          
Seasiders,
 
News on the docks is Adelaide Bradley is back in Seaside, and rumor has it she's here to stay! (No ring was spotted on her finger, I might add!) After eight long years of living in the big city and working for Massachusetts General, she has decided to return to the shores. One can only imagine how thrilled Barbara and Keegan are to have their oldest daughter back.
 
But it makes you wonder if Adelaide will continue to peruse her nursing career or is she here to help at her family's restaurant, The Seaside Grill.
 
A little seagull has planted in my ear that Gannon Wilson is taking the news rather well, considering Adelaide broke his heart all those years ago. I did notice Gannon has been working more than usual, piloting that precious cargo through our ship channel. Maybe he is picking up extra hours to purchase a piece of jewelry, considering he was seen in Reef Jewelers only days ago.
 
We're rooting for the two of them to reunite at least as friends. Everyone knows the former homecoming king and queen had a bright future ahead of them until...well...that's another story for another issue, Seasiders!
 
Fair winds and following seas!

Addie and Gannon are a second chance romance that are really a foregone conclusion. Both of them want to be together, and both of them are fully aware that the only thing keeping them apart is geography.

So, once Addie moves back to town, they pretty much pick up where they left off. There was something great about this, and also it did feel that it took away some of the intensity of them getting back together. Not in a way that made me lose interest in the title, but some of the romance was lost at the beginning.

That said, this book was more about watching their relationship grow and develop, which I did enjoy and it felt a little different.

I enjoyed and recommend this title.

Between Hello & Goodbye by Emma Scott - ARC Review & Release Blitz

From USA Today and Wall St. Journal bestselling author comes a brand-new contemporary romance—an angsty, emotional love story between a grumpy firefighter who thinks he has his life figured out and a beautiful ad exec whose life is anything but.

She's a city girl in Seattle. He's a firefighter in a rainforest. This is never going to work...

Faith Benson isn't your emergency contact, she's the party-girl friend you call for a good time. The gal-pal who loves mimosas at brunch and martinis at Happy Hour. But her carefree lifestyle threatens her job at a top Seattle ad agency. There's no one better at landing big accounts (when she shows up) but her boss demands she take a leave of absence to get her head on straight.

Faith heads to the remote Hawaiian island of Kauai, far away from the vices that get her in trouble. A twisted ankle on Day One requires rescuing by a man who is vice personified--a gorgeous firefighter who awakens feelings in her heart she never knew existed.

Asher Mackey doesn't get involved with beautiful tourists beyond taking them to bed and then watching them leave his tiny island. He's devoted his life to the safety and care of everyone around him...except himself. Until he meets Faith Benson, the city girl whose vibrant, inner beauty shines a light on the dark corners of his life, showing him how safe—but empty—it truly is.

Despite their best efforts to keep their distance, Faith and Asher fall hard and fast, but there's an ocean between them. Both are building their lives on opposite sides of the Pacific while their feelings for each other grow more profound and undeniable by the day.

Something has to give.

When Asher receives devastating news, he and Faith have to decide once and for all to entrust their hearts fully to the other or return to their safe—but separate—worlds. Because neither can endure much longer, living somewhere between hello and goodbye.

Between Hello and Goodbye is a contemporary romance about love, loss, and experiencing life in all its facets. It deals with sensitive topics that may be triggering for some readers.
