The Rigid Duke by Darcy Burke - ARC Review

 As a refinement tutor, Mrs. Juno Langton helps young ladies develop the skills and confidence to secure an advantageous marriage. Her cheerful disposition never wavers no matter how challenging her assignment. When a house party provides an opportunity to match her difficult charge with a duke, Juno will go to any lengths to satisfy her employer and ensure the young lady’s future. Too bad the duke is an unsmiling, rigid grouch, albeit an irritatingly handsome one.

The Duke of Warrington dislikes social gatherings and despises the Marriage Mart which makes it nigh impossible to find a wife. He plans to secure his future duchess at a house party, but she’s being managed by a thoroughly meddlesome—and provocative—Mrs. Langton, who is determined to find his better nature. He’ll do anything to avoid her sunny charm and room-brightening smiles, but she’s breaking through his shell and the only way he can think to keep her quiet is to kiss her. He must marry the young lady, not desire the companion.

But now he’s rethinking his wife choices.

Dream Maker by Stacey Lynn - Release Blast & ARC Review

 

 

Dream Maker by Stacey Lynn is now live!

 

Hooking up with my best friend’s little sister is one thing, getting drunk and marrying her in Vegas is another…

My team just won the Stanley Cup. I should be out on the town celebrating. Instead, I’m nursing a broken heart, courtesy of my ex-wife.

Next thing I know, I’m waking up with my teammate’s sister in my bed wearing a rock the size of the Grand Canyon on her finger. Neither of us remembers saying, I do… but turns out the marriage is as real as the diamond on her finger.

The press is going crazy. The team is pissed. And her brother… well he just might kill me. So, at the advice of my agent, we do the only thing that makes sense—make a plan to stay married until this madness blows over.

It might have started out fake, but Gabby is the one making my dreams come true and showing me what real love is.

Now I just need convince her to stay my wife forever.

Mr. Bloomsbury by Louise Bay - Release Blast

MR. BLOOMSBURY by Louise Bay 

Release Date: March 8th 

Blurb: 

He's cold, rude and undeniably arrogant. That’s how Andrew Blake's best friends describe him. Bad luck for me that I’m his new assistant. Nothing I do is good enough. The more I try and please him, the more he ignores me. I’m beginning to wonder if there’s a heart in that tall, hard, gorgeous body of his. After work I’m complaining about him to my new best friend—the bartender at the pub near the office. Guess who’s seated behind me and has heard every gripe, grumble and grievance? By the look in Andrew's eye, I can't tell if I'm going to get fired or kissed. A standalone romance.

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.
