Afternoon Delight by Piper Rayne ~ New Release and Review

Afternoon Delight, the next standalone in the romantic and hilarious Charity Case Series by Piper Rayne is LIVE!

The perfect man for me is the one who broke my heart.

#thanksbutnothanks

Once bitten.

Twice shy.

Yeah, I wish.

I’m on a mission to find myself a nice, solid, respectable man. The only problem is nice, solid, and respectable comes in a meh package and is B-O-R-I-N-G as hell.

It’s been established. I have one type. Bad Boy. I tried the other flavors, I really did. But there’s nothing like the allure of a man who takes what he wants without apology.

As if my love life isn’t dramatic enough, Dean Bennett walks into my life again thinking he’s going to win me back with his charm and charisma. He might come in a different package, but under that expensive suit he’s still the same cocky, arrogant, pompous prick who only cares about numero uno.

I’m not that naïve young girl anymore so I have to ignore the fact that the way he looks at me practically sets my panties on fire.

Everyone deserves a second chance to right a wrong. The problem? He’s not just an ex-boyfriend…

He’s my ex-husband.

Elizabeth's Review

My rating: 4 of 5 stars - Would Recommend to a Friend

Review Copy Provided by Author

Did you ever think a tax attorney could be sexy? I didn't either until meeting Dean in the latest from Piper Rayne! What makes Dean sexy? The fact that he, after 5 years, has decided to go after the wife he let walk once before.
One time college sweethearts, Chelsea and Dean had a whirlwind marriage that crashed and burned. Fast forward 5 years and both have changed, especially Dean and I loved watching him trying to win her back. It was also fun watching Chelsea trying to fight what her own heart wanted.
This is a well written and fun quick read from a talented duo. I had so much fun with this book, that I was tempted to go for the 5 star rating. The reason I didn't - there were a couple of inconsistencies in small details of the story. They were little things, like the ages of the characters or secondary characters being dropped into the story like we should already know them that pulled me out of the groove a little bit.
I really do love the theme of second chances in this series and can't wait to see what happens for Hannah, the third of our second chance trio.

Cross ~ Adriana Locke ~ Release Boost

Title: Cross

Series: The Gibson Boys #2.5
Author: Adriana Locke

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: May 25, 2018

Blurb

Cross Jacobs was a screw-up.

Everyone knew it, especially him, and the point was hammered home when Kallie Welch drove herself right out of his life.

But, she’s back.

Seeing Cross wasn’t on Kallie’s to-do list. She didn’t think she could avoid him forever but trying never hurt anyone. One minute she’s standing by herself and the next she’s accosted by a rich, velvety scent that could only belong to one man: Cross.

At face value, he’s divine. All rugged and confident with a smile that melts her right where she’s standing. It doesn’t take long to find him to be charming, witty, and the owner of a few legitimate businesses. Not at all like the mischievous boy she left.

He laughs and her heart flutters. With a touch of his hand, she’s dizzy. She’s fairly certain she’s going to die when he pulls her into an embrace and touches his lips to her forehead.

It feels right. It feels so right.

But is it?

Note: This novella was originally released in the Team Player Anthology last winter. It has been updated a bit with a few new chapters to round out the story.

Excerpt

Chapter One

Cross

“Where have you been in that thing?” Machlan shouts.

The roar of his muscle car’s engine winds down and he clicks the transmission into park. The purplish-black paint shines in the early afternoon sun.

Having just backed out of a parking spot onto Main Street, I check my rearview mirror. No one is coming. “Bluebird Hill,” I tell him. “After all that rain last night, I figured I’d test the new tires Walker put on my truck last week.”

“You’re a fuckin’ kid.” He laughs.

“Says the man driving that,” I tease, pointing at his ride.

“I’m not sure what your point is. This car is the baddest thing in town.” He punches the gas, the motor roaring like a banshee.

Glancing around at Doc Burns’ office with two cars in the parking lot and the Linton County History Museum across the street that only opens for the Water Festival once a year, I grin. “That’s not saying much.”

“Go to Hell.” His hand slips through his dark hair and over his chin. The amusement in his features evaporates as I watch … and cringe.

I know this look. I know all of his looks, actually, a by-product of being his best friend as long as I can remember. Many of them concern me and a lot of them worry me. But this one? It’s a flashing red sign with Vegas-inspired lights.

The thing is, I can’t just ignore it. When this look comes, so does the topic of my sister and, even though I love the both of them, I wouldn’t mind seeing them in a padded room until they fix whatever it is between them that is so broken.

With a sigh, I jam my truck into park too. “Yes,” I say, answering the question he’s yet to ask. “Hadley called and isn’t coming home this weekend. She said maybe next week.”

His jaw works back and forth as he stares down the street. “Why?”

That single word is spit with a lifetime of emotion. Machlan has loved my sister since the day she moved to Linton with our father and me when our mother died. She was fourteen and innocent and he was fifteen and infatuated. Through the years, they were off and on and together and not—at least officially. Everyone knew Machlan and Hadley were one and the same.

I’m not sure why she moved away from here. Being both her brother and his best friend precluded me from certain information, which is for the best. They both drive me nuts without having the details.

“Not sure,” I reply. “She left a voicemail last night saying she wouldn’t be home today. She didn’t pick up when I called her back.”

He flips his gaze to me. “You didn’t talk to her after that?”

“She’s a big girl, Mach,” I mock. “I’m sure she had shit to do.”

“Yeah.” His fingers regrip the steering wheel as his jaw goes back to work again.

“I’m gonna go wash this before I head back to the gym—”

“She’s all right, though. Right?” he interrupts. His face is stone-cold sober. “I mean …”

“She’s fine.”

He waits. Blinks. Re-grips the wheel again. “That’s it?”

Popping my truck into drive, I blow out a breath. “Yeah, that’s it. You want to know more? Call her. What a fucking amazing concept.”

“Yeah. I’ll get right on that,” he snips back.

“You should. Then you could quit this whole thing.”

“Got nothin’ to quit, man. Just being a decent guy.”

A decent guy. It’s my turn to turn my knuckles white on the steering wheel.

Machlan isn’t a decent guy. He’s a fucking great one … much better than the guy Hadley is seeing now. A guy I haven’t mentioned to Mach since I got home a couple of weeks ago from visiting her. I’m not mentioning him, either. I’ll save the boyfriend an ER bill and myself the bail money.

I can’t blame him. It has to be hard to see Hadley with another guy when, in Machlan’s mind, she’s his girl.

My stomach twists like it always does when my mind goes down this road. At least my girl didn’t bring other guys back with her. Hell, she didn’t even come back at all.

“Here comes Kip,” Machlan says, bringing me out of my reverie. Nodding toward the road in front of him, he laughs. “I’m not moving.”

I twist in my seat to see the sheriff coming toward us. He blares the siren twice as if to get us to move. We don’t.

Machlan pokes his head out of the window. “Need somethin’?” he shouts.

Laughing, I watch Kip’s car slide carefully between Machlan’s and the curb on the other side.

“You can’t park in the street!” Kip yells.

“What are ya gonna do about it?” I holler.

“Take ya both in.”

“Don’t you have somewhere to be?” Machlan asks. “Someone to protect and serve? Or service, if I know you?”

Kip shakes his head as Machlan flips him the bird. The sirens come on again before Kip hits the gas and speeds off down the street and vanishes over the hill.

When I look back at Machlan, his attention is on his phone.

“What?” I ask, curious about the smile on his face.

He looks at me and laughs. Sticking the phone in the cup holder, he shrugs. “Nothing. But can you do me a favor?”

“No.”

“I need help moving a couple of things at Crave. Come help me. Just for a few.”

“What’s in it for me?” I ask.

“A beer?”

Throwing the truck in neutral, I rev the engine. It barely sounds before his is screaming over top of mine and we jet off in opposite directions. I get to a stop sign at the end of the street and do a quick one-eighty to head to Crave.

Review Round Up

I treated myself for my birthday and bought Crazy, Hot Love, but there is an ARC review here too... Enjoy!

  Crazy, Hot Love by K.L. Grayson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Crazy, Hot Love is the second in the Dirty Dicks series following the Allen siblings. This book focuses on Trevor and his long time crush, Claire, in a very sweet friends to lovers story.
I enjoyed getting to know both of these characters and seeing them find their way to each other. Ms. Grayson does an excellent job of diving into the baggage and fears that both of them bring to the table and made it feel like their love was radiating of the page.
Since this is part of a series, most of the secondary cast has been met before. Rhett and Mo, the couple from the first Dirty Dicks book, play key roles here as the bother and best friend of Trevor and Claire. We also get to know the rest of the Allen family a little better and see glimpses of the couple we will be meeting in the next book.
This is a fun series and I am looking forward to seeing what happens next.

ARC READS

 All Night with the Cowboy by Soraya Lane

My rating: 3 of 5 stars - Average Read

Review Copy Provided by Publisher via Net Galley

3.25 🌟
This was an entertaining 2nd chance story focusing on two very stubborn people.
I like Lauren and Tanner and I enjoyed seeing them reconnect with each other after a 12 year separation. But, I have to confess that I had a hard time connecting with either of them. There wasn’t any one thing that stood out, but I just didn’t click with this couple and their story.
After meeting the Ford family in Mia and Sam’s book, I had high hopes for Tanner. I did enjoy his story, just not as much as I had hoped.

Elizabeth's Review

My rating: 3 of 5 stars - Average Read

Review Copy Provided by Author

Can I be brutally honest for a minute? There is absolutely no reason for the Write Love/Wright One story to be a duet. Both books are very short, about 75% of what I expect a full length stand alone work to be. These books could have easily been combined, edited correctly, and published as one book.
Having said that, I also have to confess to also being frustrated with the conclusion to Sutton and David's story. The emotional yo-yo that started in the Wright Love continues here. While Sutton's feelings are completely understandable, the elaboration of them here starts to make it feel a little like beating a dead horse instead of exploring the emotional impact of events.
I think the thing that frustrated me the most in this entertaining book is that Ms. Linde laid the groundwork for multiple potential conflicts that could have really made the duet concept work, but instead of exploring them they were brushed under the rug.
I like Sutton and David and was rooting for them to get their happy ending. I feel like this duet started strong in the Wright Love, exploring the concepts of moving beyond grief and finding love again. With the direction that The Wright One went, I really do feel like they books would have been stronger if packaged as one slightly longer story.

“I need help moving a couple of things at Crave. Come help me. Just for a few.”

“A beer?”

Throwing the truck in neutral, I rev the engine. It barely sounds before his is screaming over top of mine and we jet off in opposite directions. I get to a stop sign at the end of the street and do a quick one-eighty to head to Crave.
