Cruel King by K. A. Linde - ARC Review & Release Blitz

 

A new stand alone fake relationship romance set in the glitz and glamour of the Cruel world from USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde...

The most eligible bachelor in New York City just asked me to be his fake fiancé.

Gavin King is six and a half feet of delectable billionaire with a devil’s smile that says he knows exactly what he’s going to do to me later. Because he has.

Three years ago, I caught him in the shower and promptly fell into his bed. But neither of us were relationship material. Not to mention I’d just broken up with his best friend.

Now, I’m back in the city and he has a plan:

Go to his cousin’s wedding.

Convince his family that he’s not an eternal bachelor.

Post a huge elaborate break up later.

With those big puppy dog eyes begging me to agree, claiming I’m the only one who can pull it off, I say yes. What could go wrong? Other than pulling it off so successfully that the line between real and fake blurs.

When my family flips the whole script, I can’t see a way out. And I’m starting to wonder if I even want one.

I've loved all of the books in this series and I can't lie, I'm sad to see it end.

That said Gavin and Whitley were the perfect final story. I love a story about a man who is all in from the beginning and in this one the only person who is clueless that Gavin loves her is Whitley herself.

A lot of the books in this series have been a little edgier, a little darker, with characters you struggle to like when you first meet them (looking at you here Katherine) that you, of course, adore by the end.

This one, however really wasn't. It's in the same world, but it's edges are smoother. The characters from before have changed and grown and some of the harsh is gone. It made this feel like a book that not only worked...but also left the series (and the characters you've come to love) in a great place.

Is it a standalone? Yes technically it is. The relationship between Gavin and Whitley would absolutely be enough for a reader who didn't know Penn, and Katherine, and Camden.

That said... if you haven't read all of the others, buy this one to have it on your shelf but read the others first for not only their stories but how perfect of an ending this one has for not only the central couple, but for that whole group of people you've come to know and love.

I enjoyed and recommend this title.

Brutal Billionaire by Laurelin Paige - ARC Review

He’ll get what he wants—even if I’m already taken.

Holt Sebastian is royalty in our world.

As CEO of the Sebastian News Corp, he’s the man with all the power. The man who decides if I’ll always just be a local television anchor or if I’ll be the rising star of my own show.

I make it my mission to be noticed. Make him see my potential. But soon, it's clear he's the one in charge.

His possessiveness is brutal.

His eyes own everything they touch. I feel his gaze on me when he's in the room. The heat of them as they rake down my body, taking me in, marking me as his. He doesn’t just want me on the screen—he wants me in his bed. 

And Holt Sebastian gets what he wants. 

No one will stop him, no one will get in his way. 

No one can protect me from his desire.

Not even the man who promised nothing would come between us and his ambition—my husband.

 

Laurelin Paige delivers a twist on Indecent Proposal in this billionaire workplace standalone romance featuring elements of fake relationship, marriage of convenience, enemies to lovers, and a new alphahole readers will love to hate.

 

Caludron's Call by Kristen Proby - ARC Review & Blog Tour

Cauldrons Call by Kristen Proby is now live!

Cauldrons Call, by New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby, is the highly-anticipated second book in The Curse of the Blood Moon series.

Breena has known Giles all her life—and has loved him for nearly as long. Linked by the ties of family and coven, Breena has had a lifetime to discover everything there is to know about him. His intelligence and specialization in crystals and gems are truly things to admire, but it's how he smiles at her that really makes her cauldron bubble. Too bad he's completely oblivious.

Giles isn't as oblivious as Breena thinks he is. A powerful witch, he's spent most of his life hiding his true feelings from her, but he can't ignore the fact that she's hurting and plagued by the same nightmares that haunt him every night. So, getting her to move in with him so he can do just that seems like simple common sense. The hard part will be resisting the way Breena makes him feel.

But evil has invaded their world, and it has the power to kill every witch in Salem. Breena has no time to wallow in what might have been and Giles' desire to protect her is stronger than the power contained in his crystals . Together they must lift the curse of the blood moon before time runs out. If they can't, the people Breena loves the most are all in danger. It will take every skill she's honed as a witch to protect what's hers and the man who cast a spell on her heart.


Will they have time to kindle their love for each other, or will the clock run out at the hands of fate?

Sneak Attack by Stacey Lynn - ARC Review & Release Blitz

𝑨 𝒔𝒏𝒆𝒂𝒌 𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒃𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒊𝒓𝒍 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒌𝒆 𝒎𝒚 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕, 𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒎𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏...

I might have made it as an NFL quarterback, but I was still me—still living in my hometown north of Nashville and tackling being a single dad. The media assumed I wore a halo beneath my helmet, but they didn't know my tragic past. I was no angel.

Because the only woman I ever truly loved was the girl who stole my heart when it was committed to another, and I never recovered from the mess we created.

Seven years is a long time to wait for a second chance. I tried to move on and live without her. Now, Eden's returned home to haunt me all over again, making me feel all the things I can't deny when she's near.

She might have her running shoes strapped on tight, but I'm desperate for her to stay this time. In order to do that, I need to find a way for us to put the past where it truly belongs, buried six feet deep with the person whose death still stands between us.

I didn't become one of the best in the league by playing it safe. Eden's always been mine, and it's time she finally learns it, too.

The Countess by Sophie Jordan - ARC Review

New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan kicks off her amazing new high concept series, The Scandalous Ladies of London, which chronicles the lives of a group of affluent ladies reigning over glittering, Regency-era London, vying for position in the hierarchy of the ton. They are the young wives, widows, and daughters of London’s wealthiest families. The drama is big, the money runs deep, and the shade is real. Life is different in the ton.

“My husband is a good man… just ask all the women he has bedded.”

Wealthy society maven Lady Gertrude knows how the world works. If her husband is less than faithful, it’s an acceptable price to pay for her coveted position at the apex of London’s most fashionable set. No exclusive soirée or lavish ball is complete without her and her group of decadent, well-connected friends. And this Season promises more excitement than usual: Tru is launching her daughter into Society, helping her navigate the cutthroat Marriage Mart, complete with fortune hunters, jealous debutantes, and malicious gossips.

As skilled as Tru is at playing the high-stakes games of the ton, she never expects to meet her match—until Jasper Thorne begins to court her daughter. Jasper needs a titled bride, but when he meets Tru, all his carefully laid plans go up in smoke. The attraction between Tru and Jasper is undeniable…and unacceptable. To indulge in an affair with her daughter’s suitor would be ruinous. If it becomes public, she’ll never survive the scandal. Especially as it becomes clear that he wants more than one night…he wants the impossible. He wants forever.

A sizzling story of scandalous ladies, irresistible temptation, and the dangers—and joys—of being true to yourself.

I'm a sucker for a forbidden romance. I read this blurb and saw that it was about a married woman who has an affair with her daughter's potential suitor...in Regency England and I couldn't sign up for this ARC quickly enough.

Jasper and Tru have an instant connection that is only heightened by the fact that there should be nothing between them at all. I loved their first meeting, although it was a little predictable that it would happen, it set the expectation for what was to come nicely.

I loved their connection. I loved that while her husband was vile, it wasn't really used as any type of justification for her behavior

The only thing missing, and this is a thing for me, is a bit of a spoiler so I won't get into it...suffice to say for a romance to check all the boxes it needs to have certain things and this was missing just one...which admittedly isn't even an issue for a lot of readers and didn't ultimately keep me from enjoying the book.

I enjoyed and recommend this title and I'm going to be keeping an eye out for the next in the series.
