Broken Reign by Ava Harrison - Blog Tour & ARC Review

From USA Today bestselling author Ava Harrison
comes a gritty, twisted standalone romance.

I have one goal—take down the man responsible for my parents' deaths.

Until I lock eyes with a stranger across the courtroom.

Tobias Kosta.

Notorious billionaire. Rumored criminal.

And the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen.

Once I leave this courtroom, I hope to never see him again.

But then he hires me to be his lawyer. And I’m forced deeper into his world.

He’s enigmatic.

Dangerous.

Ignites a passion I can’t ignore.

The closer I get to him, the more secrets unravel.

Is he my past?

My future?

Or my downfall?

I always look forward to titles by this author as I know I am going to enjoy them and I know she is going to be able to make me really like a character I am probably not supposed to like at all. You know the ones I mean, the killers, the hitmen, the drug dealers...the ones that you are told to (and for good reason) avoid in real life.

This title was yet another success. I loved both Skye and Tobias, even though Tobias is a drug lord and definitely not the person I should see as a romantic hero in a story.

This one had some of the predicted twists and turns and also one, that I will not spoil here, that felt a little unique for titles in this trope, and it was a difference that I found I really enjoyed a lot. I also liked their relationship and the way it developed from him not being able to trust her to the realization that he actually could. Their chemistry was excellent, and it was believable, which definitely matters as if an attorney is going to get involved with a criminal, it needs to be because there is a connection that is too strong to ignore...and I believed there was in this one.

This book is a standalone, but does have some appearances by characters from previous books and it added an element of fun to a lot of the scenes by including those memorable characters from previous stories.

I enjoyed and recommend this title.

The Billionaire by Marni Mann - ARC Review & Release Blast

The Billionaire by Marni Mann is now live!

 

I've always been a good girl.

But the second I walk into the hotel bar, I see temptation.

The man sitting there is delicious. Older. Experienced. Once our eyes meet, I know I'm not walking away unscathed. I've heard about men like Jenner Dalton--richer than God and hotter than sin. He's got heartbreak written all over him.

But it only takes fifteen minutes before we're headed up to his room.

I've never done anything like this before, but something tells me he's worth it. Every swipe of his tongue feels electric, every kiss sets me on fire, and his experience has me begging for more.

And more.

And more.

In one week, I'll return to college in Miami.

He'll go back to being LA's most eligible billionaire.

The miles and years between us are just too many for this to mean anything.

So, between now and then, I plan to spend every moment being anything but good ...

Hook, Line, and Sinker by Tessa Bailey - ARC Review

In the follow-up to It Happened One Summer, Tessa Bailey delivers another deliciously fun rom-com about a former player who accidentally falls for his best friend while trying to help her land a different man...

King crab fisherman Fox Thornton has a reputation as a sexy, carefree flirt. Everyone knows he's a guaranteed good time--in bed and out--and that's exactly how he prefers it. Until he meets Hannah Bellinger. She's immune to his charm and looks, but she seems to enjoy his... personality? And wants to be friends? Bizarre. But he likes her too much to risk a fling, so platonic pals it is.

Now, Hannah's in town for work, crashing in Fox's spare bedroom. She knows he's a notorious ladies' man, but they're definitely just friends. In fact, she's nursing a hopeless crush on a colleague and Fox is just the person to help with her lackluster love life. Armed with a few tips from Westport's resident Casanova, Hannah sets out to catch her coworker's eye... yet the more time she spends with Fox, the more she wants him instead. As the line between friendship and flirtation begins to blur, Hannah can't deny she loves everything about Fox, but she refuses to be another notch on his bedpost.

Living with his best friend should have been easy. Except now she's walking around in a towel, sleeping right across the hall, and Fox is fantasizing about waking up next to her for the rest of his life and... and... man overboard! He's fallen for her, hook, line, and sinker. Helping her flirt with another guy is pure torture, but maybe if Fox can tackle his inner demons and show Hannah he's all in, she'll choose him instead?

Scored by Lili Valente-Release Blast

BLURB

Begging my brother’s best friend—aka NHL superstar, Ian Fox—to help me ditch my V Card wasn’t part of my “make it big in NYC” plans.

But after years of being “cute little Evie,” I’m tired of waiting for Mr. Right. I’m ready for Mr. Right Now, and Ian is everything I’ve ever wanted in a first time. He’s kind, funny, confident, and has a legendary…stick.

Seriously, his stick has its own page of search results, complete with gray sweatpants shots hot enough to make even a clueless virgin drool.

And yes, my brother will murder us if he finds out, but we’re both grownups.

We can keep a secret. We have to since I just landed an art therapy job working with his troubled team.

All we’re doing is a little practice. (Or…ehem...big practice.)

Too bad my heart didn’t get the memo.

Wasted Love With You by Whitney G. - ARC Review

The last time my husband gave me an orgasm was… Well, that's never happened.

And from the way our marriage is crumbling under the weight of his lies, it never will.

Alas, after fighting like hell for a divorce, I promise myself that I'll never waste love on anyone else.

I don't even want to 'date' anyone else.

But that's until I literally run into a man who leaves me breathless at first sight, a man who etches his way into my memory with nothing more than a single smile and a question.

He's an enigma who doesn't want to give me his first name—a man who has more secrets than answers—and from the sexy smirk on his lips, I know that I should stay far away from him.

I try to keep my distance, but he pursues me anyway...

When he offers me a job I can't refuse, I throw caution to the wind and take a chance.

I should've thought about this a little more.

Little do I know, this man is about to take me on a dangerous ride that might cost me everything.

Last Duke Standing by Julia London - ARC Review, Blog Tour & Author Q&A

When Crown Princess Justine of Wesloria is sent to England to learn the ropes of royalty, she falls under the tutelage of none other than Queen Victoria herself. She’s also in the market for a proper husband—one fit to marry the future Queen of Wesloria.

Because he knows simply everyone, William, Lord Douglas (the notoriously rakish heir to the Duke of Hamilton seat in Scotland, and decidedly not husband material), is on hand as an escort of sorts. William has been recruited to keep an eye on the royal matchmaker for the Weslorian Prime Minister, tasked to ensure the princess is matched with a man of quality...and one who will be sympathetic to the prime minister’s views. 

As William and Justine are forced to scrutinize an endless parade of England’s best bachelors, they become friends. But when the crowd of potential grooms is steadily culled, what if William is the last bachelor standing?

Up In Smoke by Kate Meader-Release Blast

Release Date: February 22

Lives are on the line at Engine 6 … and so are hearts.

Newly-minted firefighter Abby Sullivan is exactly where she wants to be: Chicago Fire Department’s Engine 6, the station where her mom blazed a trail as one of the first female firefighters in the city. The first to fall in the line of duty, too. All Abby wants is to succeed, but that’s a tough proposition when people only see a feel-good story, a token woman failing at a man’s job, or the princess in need of protection. And the man tasked with watching her six?

Lieutenant Roman Rossi, the one person she can’t let close.

Having the daughter of his boss and nemesis under his wing shouldn’t be a problem for Roman—he’s a professional and can treat her like any other firefighter rookie. Except she happens to be the gorgeous woman he once shared a slice of cherry pie with, followed by the hottest, sweetest, most pulse-pounding kiss of his life. He didn’t know her name but he had planned to find out.

Now Roman knows exactly who Abby is: a threat to his self-control more dangerous than a five-alarm blaze. Lust has no place in the firehouse, and a distraction like Abby with her electric blue eyes, waves of flame-red hair, and freckles Roman wants to map with his tongue, is one he can ill afford.

Because one wrong move … and it could all go up in smoke.

Up in Smoke is the first in the brand new Hot in Chicago Rookies series about firefighters navigating the trials of new jobs and sizzling romances as they find their place in the world and the love of a lifetime.
