THE CAD
Bryan Leech is a cad.
Or, he *was* a cad.
No one is quite certain.
Once the quintessential playboy, Bryan claims he’s done with wild parties and weekend benders. No more one night stands leading to mornings he can’t remember; no more binges and blackouts; no more exploits plastered all over the tabloids and rag sheets. According to Bryan, he’s cleaning up his act.
The only problem is, no one believes him.
THE CO-ED
Eilish Cassidy never thought she’d be a mother at nineteen or still in college at twenty-four. Cut off from every member of her family except her favorite cousin, she’s finally managed to put her life back together. Stronger and wiser, Eilish enters her last semester of university determined to stand on her own. Now she just needs to find an internship.
The only problem is, her best option—by far—places her directly in the path of her son’s father, and he doesn’t remember her at all.
THE PLAN
Bryan is determined to prove he’s changed. Eager to settle down with the right woman, he’s got his sights set on the gorgeous redhead who seems terribly familiar.
Eilish is determined to hide her secret. She’ll do anything to keep her child safe, even if that means ignoring her own wishes and desires.
But what happens when Bryan starts to remember? And what will it take for Bryan to convince the girl he forgot that she’s unforgettable?

I'm a huge fan of this series and was eager to get my hands on the third installment.  Penny Reid and L.H. Cosway never fail to make me laugh, shake my head and swoon with their characters and The Cad and the Co-Ed was no different.  This second chance romance had me hooked from the start.

I wasn't quite sure I was going to like Bryan the way I've liked the other heroes in this series-but I was wrong.   I loved that he was determined to change for himself-not for anyone else.  It was refreshing to see that he was changing BEFORE knowing about Eilish and their child.  I also loved his pursuit of Eilish. He wasn't about to let her slip away again.

Eilish was a great, strong heroine.  She was a fantastic mother on her own, continuing her education all while being cut off from the majority of her family.  Her character has such quiet strength and determination, I just loved her.  I couldn't stand most of her family but that just made me love Eilish all the more for sticking to what she knew was best for her and her son.

Kids are tricky in books for me but I love, love, love how the authors portrayed Patrick.  He was simply adorable. He wasn't thrown into the story just as a plot point and brushed off-and I appreciated that.

I enjoyed watching Bryan and Eilish figure things out together.  The authors really pull you in to these characters, you're invested in their outcome and HOW they get there, not just what the outcome actually is.  The supporting characters are amazing as well. This book can absolutely be read as a standalone but I love the entire series.  It's always fun for me to see glimpses into past characters.  I can't wait to see sneak peeks back into Bryan and Eilish's relationship in future books.

JORDAN RECLAIMED BY SCARLETT COLE-BLOG TOUR


Jordan Steele’s life began when he was ten. When he was taken from his parents and a house that was never a home. When he met his brothers, the other lost and abandoned boys in his group home. When he learned what friendship and family and love looked like.

Now he’s made good, touring the world with the band he and his brothers formed in that crowded group home. No one but his found family really knows the man under the fame and fortune, the scars he hides behind the rockstar lifestyle. Until he sees her through the windows of the National Ballet, dancing, and suddenly the world doesn’t seem so dark.

Aleksandra Artemov ticks all the ballet boxes. Father a legendary Kirov dancer. Check. Prepping since birth for classical ballet. Check. Compulsive control over the food she eats. Check. Principal dancer at The National Ballet of Canada. Check. But what she craves is freedom.

She craves Jordan.

Everything about him should terrify her. His size, his tattoos, his edge. But he doesn’t. He stirs her very soul. Jordan has nothing but himself to offer her, and he's never been good enough for anyone. Can he figure out how to face his own demons before he loses his light for good?

CO-WRECKER BY MEGHAN QUINN-COVER REVEAL

sbpr-co-wrecker-cr

Co-Wrecker, an all new sexy, laugh out loud romantic comedy is coming March 23rd!


cowrecker

What do ice cream and Sadie Montgomery have in common? They're both ice cold, but one taste is never enough.

I wanted to be friends — I would have even settled for her seeing me as anything but a nerd — but there was no getting through. So just like any hard-headed, red-blooded man out there, I made up my mind.

I’d make my coworker fall for me.

I’d like to say it was simple, but like every other epic love story, all it took was one drunken night and a lot of naked courage to get the girl. For a moment, at least.

Love with a coworker is never simple, especially since Sadie’s trying to keep us on the low. Not to mention her persistent ex-boyfriend who won’t leave her alone. But I’ve never been good at giving up, and I don’t plan to start now.

The whole thing is a recipe for a rocky road, but I plan to eat the whole gallon, no matter how bad the brain freeze.

A BLONDE AT HEART Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped. Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking. Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

Royally Matched Review


















LIVE WIRE BY CAISEY QUINN-ARC REVIEW

Caisey Quinn—author of the Neon Dreams romances—delivers the debut novel in an explosive new romantic suspense series...

HE’S NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING…

Explosive ordinance disposal specialist Chase Fisk never breaks a sweat defusing even the most complicated of explosives. So when a homicidal maniac threatens to set off military-grade IEDs during Nashville’s largest music festival, Chase is the man to take him down. But with the reappearance of a woman he thought was long dead, everything he thought he knew is blown away.

EXCEPT LOSING HER AGAIN.

FBI operative Vivien Montgomery is an enigma to everyone around her. So when a deadly threat lands her in Nashville and paired up with the only man she’s ever loved, she isn’t looking forward to an emotional reunion. She’s only here to get the job done and get out. But when the madman behind the chaos targets her for death, the one man she left behind might be the only person she can count on to save her life...


Chase and Vivien were together years ago, and then she was killed and he has never gotten over her death...yet, she isn't dead.

I loved the second chance romance, complicated by the jobs they each had to do and the past that was coming back to haunt them.  I thought Ms. Quinn handled the balance of this well.  Yes, there was a past between them, but there was also a bomber to catch, so there was the need to do their best to put the past aside, to focus, and to do their jobs.  

I also loved that they were allowed to be human, they were not robots who didn't reach to the situation, who were able to act like nothing was going on.  And, I loved how they handled their past when it was finally dealt with.

The revelation of who was responsible for the attacks also felt real, and while not obvious, not something that I immediately picked up on, which is always nice.

Saying more is difficult, as there are a lot of spoilers.  So I am going to keep this as a short review with a recommendation to read this book.  I am definitely interested in the next book by this author and will be keeping my eye out for it!

ALL THE FROGS IN MANHATTAN BY CARRIE AARONS-RELEASE BLITZ




Title: All the Frogs in Manhattan
Author: Carrie Aarons
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 5, 2017

Blurb

You know how Cinderella had the whole glass slipper, pumpkin carriage, fairy godmother thing?

Yeah…with foot-destroying stilettos, Uber, and a Twitter horoscope, my life is far from a happily ever after.

In fact, instead of Prince Charming, I end up dating every slimy, scaly, brainless frog in the kingdom of Manhattan. And by frog, I mean all of the stereotypical bad guys that Mom and Lifetime movies warned you about.

The meathead player.
The mommy's boy.
The namedropper.
The cheapskate.

If they suck at relationships, I’ve probably kissed those cold, clammy lips in the hopes of finding love. Until one day, when one man with commitment issues offers to help me find the Romeo to my Juliet.

But what happens when the frog, who was never supposed to turn into a prince, kisses you at midnight? Ok fine, he propositioned me for some afternoon delight after brunch, but not everything can be straight out of a fairytale.


ADD TO GOODREADS

This was my first book from Carrie Aarons but it won't be my last.  All The Frogs in Manhattan had me laughing out loud in spots, shaking my head in others and overall left me with a smile.  It was a nice bonus that it was set in one of my very favorite places.

I think every woman at some point in their life can relate to Gemma's plight.  She's ready to settle down and be with one person and is stuck on an endless cycle of bad dates with men who are clearly not worth her time.  She has her tribe of friends and her faux friends at work but she's still looking for someone else.  

I liked Oliver.  I wasn't sure if I was going to like him as much as I did so I was pleasantly surprised.  I loved his banter with Gemma.  I loved how he was upfront about what he wanted from her and with her.  He seemed real to me, someone I could meet on the street and I liked that.  He was awkward to me in some ways-but those ways endeared him to me.

I will say I liked that this wasn't an instant love story.  Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all about instant love in some spots but I don't think it would have worked as well here.  Part of the fun of the book is that these two didn't really expect anything from each other and wound up with everything.

I liked this book.  It was a fun, fluffy and fast read.  I will definitely read more from this author.
