Confessions of a Naughty Nanny ~ Piper Rayne ~ Cover Reveal






When a famous music producer moves to Lake Starlight it can’t just be a coincidence. It’s the universe helping to move things along in the right direction so that Griffin Thorne can discover me.

I have to confess—I’ll do whatever it takes to make that happen.

Confession #1: I may have overhead that he was in search of a nanny. What can I say? My brother has a big mouth.

Confession #2: It’s possible I helped along the assumption that I had nanny experience. Hey, babysitting my nieces and nephew counts, right?

Confession #3: There’s a good chance I oversold my qualifications. But my Grandma Dori backed me up, so it’s not completely my fault.

And it worked. He hired me. Only for me to find out that he left the business.
I guess it’s on to Plan B.

When he accidentally overhears me singing, I expect nothing from him. Then he asks to work with me on a song for our town’s Founder’s Day Parade and it feels like a dream come true. Until...


Confession #4: I’ve fallen for him.

Excerpt

“What do you want?” The look he pours over me is hot oil, burning me even through serviceable layers of cotton. His heated perusal caresses my face, sluices over my breasts and hips, and then pools at my feet. “Oh, that you won’t ever get again,” I say, my voice a soft, certain promise. “I don’t screw liars. I’m particular that way.” “Never say never,” he drawls, tilting up my chin with his finger. “Nev–” He crushes the word between our mouths. It falls apart in the scorching, sweet tangle of lips and teeth. With one hand, he digs his fingers into my hair. The other splays across my lower back, his grip on me almost convulsive, urging me up and closer. I’m in stasis. I’m completely startled by the kiss, unable to respond. I send a desperate message to my brain. Move. Pull back. Push him away. But the urgent glide of his hand down my spine to cup my ass melts my thoughts to liquid and they swim in my head. I can’t pull back, and all hope of resistance dissolves when he presses his thumb to my chin, prying me open. He stalks my tongue, hunts down a response, licking and sucking and groaning and growling. His hands tighten on me until I strain up to seek him, yanking his hair, pulling him even closer. “Dammit, Nix,” he mutters between kisses. His hand wanders down my neck and across my shoulder, and cups my breast, twisting the nipple through flimsy barriers of cotton and lace. He shoves up my skirt, pulling my legs wider, and pushes my panties aside, his fingers invading me. My body remembers this mad craving that claws out of my bones—that wants out. That wants him. Under his rough touch, my body blooms and my hips rock. “That’s it,” he says, taking my earlobe between his lips. My head falls back and I moan. It’s so damn good. His touch awakens me. His hands, his kisses bring me to life. It feels like I’m taking my first deep breath since we were last together, and it fills my lungs, seeps into my pores. “I missed you,” he says, sucking my lips and kissing the corners, quick, hungry. “I’m sorry. Baby, I—” “Stop talking.” I reach between us to loosen his belt, catching his zipper and dragging it down, dragging him out. “Shut up.”

The Kingmaker (All The King's Men Duet, #1)

Elizabeth's Review



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


Review Copy Provided by Author


Before I talk to you about The Kingmaker by Kennedy Ryan - I need to give a little disclaimer about the 4 star rating.....
That 4 stars is because the story isn’t complete - this is book 1 of a duet and knowing that plus the ending of this book means that I can’t fully judge the story until I see what happens next. Now, on the the real review.....

In The Kingmaker, we meet Lennix Moon Hunter of the Apache tribe in Arizona for the first time when she is 13. We see her again at 17, 21, and finally at 31. Using her trademark detailed research, Ms Ryan paints a vidid picture of who Lennix is, the issues that are important to her, and gives her a voice to affect change. We see the trials that impact Lennix both personally and as a member of a marginalized people. Those trial weigh on her and ultimately influence her decisions.

The counterpoint to Lennix is Maxim. While his background is 100% different, his passion and desire for change make him a personality that fits perfectly. The chemistry between these two radiated off the page whenever they were together and made me root for them to find success.

The Kingmaker is epic story telling at its finest. We may only have short periods with Lennix (and Maxim) at each stopping point, the actions and reactions tell us so much about who these people are that it feels as if they could be our friends. The fact that Ms Ryan does this while also acting as part of our social conscience speaks to her preparation and talent as a writer.

Duets are not something I am typically a fan of, but after reading the first book in the pair I see why the story required two books. I am anxiously waiting for books 2!

Insatiable ~ Melanie Harlow ~ Cover Reveal

Insatiable - CR banner

After all those years of being just friends, suddenly we’re insatiable.

Insatiable, an all-new irresistible friends to lovers romance from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow is coming November 28th and we have the gorgeous cover!

Insatiable AMAZON
I didn’t mean to see him naked--it was an accident.
It had to be, right?
Because Noah McCormick and I have never been anything more than friends. In all the years I’ve known him, he’s never once laid a finger on me. And even though he was a cute lifeguard at 16 and a hotter-than-hell sheriff’s deputy at 34, he's always been that protective guy I could trust to keep his hands to himself. I never wanted to mess with that.
Until I walked in on him getting out of the shower and saw his hard, muscular body totally bare and dripping wet. At that moment I never wanted to mess with anything so badly in my entire life.
I should have covered my eyes. Said I was sorry. At the very least, I could have handed him a towel.
After all, I was only in town for a few days, and he was just doing me a favor by escorting me to my sister’s wedding. It wasn’t a real date.
But I didn’t apologize. And he didn’t cover up.
(Talk about a hot mess.)
After all those years of being just friends, suddenly we’re insatiable.
He’s made it clear he’s not interested in romance. Which is fine with me because
I’ve got a plane ticket back to my real life at the end of the week.
It’s all in fun...or is it?

No Vacancy by Stephanie Rose ~ New Release and Review


Can a summer fling become the love of a lifetime?


Title: No Vacancy
Author: Stephanie Rose
Release Date: October 28, 2019


Can a summer fling become the love of a lifetime?

Perpetual good girl Caterina Longo is dependable to a fault. At 33, she’s never called in sick. Never had a one-night stand. Never taken a chance in her entire life. When she walks in on a cheating ex and sees everything wrong with her life, she takes off on a solo vacation, busting out of her comfort zone and into the arms of a guy she never saw coming.

Joe Hunter has no room for distractions. Making his restaurant a success and proving his worth to his family—and himself—is his sole focus. At least it is until a beautiful stranger, in search of fried food and a shoulder, wanders in one night.

Is two weeks of unexpected, life-altering passion all they’re meant to share? What happens when vacation ends and real life takes over?

Review Copy PRovided by Author


I’ve been anxiously awaiting a new Stephanie Rose book for a while and she didn’t disappoint with this stand alone vacation fling!

I was a little in love with Joe and Cat from the first time we met them and liked them more and more as the story went along. Cat is a strong character facing the fact that her priorities may or may not have been aligned with having a happy life. Joe is a wonderful combination of alpha and sweet guy.

The set up of the story is excellent, we spend a lot of the book with Cat and Joe while she is on vacation in his home town. This allows us to see the struggle they have both with how quickly they developed feelings and with the fact that they live 3 hours apart. I really appreciated how the time between Cat going home and a resolution was handled. We were able to feel the angst and frustration of both characters without feeling like we were on a poor me merry go round.

Add in some excellent secondary characters (some will be familiar to loyal readers) and this is a fantastic read! I am already looking forward to seeing what Joe’s side kick Dom is up too.



Stephanie Rose is a bad-ass New Yorker, a wife, a mother, a former blogger and lover of all things chocolate. Most days you'll find her trying to avoid standing on discarded LEGO or deciding which book to read next. Her debut novel, Always You, released in 2015 and since then she's written several more—some of which will never see completion—and has ideas for a hundred to come.

Southern Heartbreaker ~ Jessica Peterson ~ New Release and Review

SH - RB banner.jpg
He was the bad boy I fell for in college. Now he’s a sexy single dad and Charleston’s most successful venture capitalist. Dominant and decisive, Ford Montgomery is used to getting what he wants. And he just set his sights on me...
Southern Heartbreaker, an all-new standalone contemporary romance in the Charleston Heat series by Jessica Peterson, is LIVE!
Cover SouthernHeartbreaker_Ebook_Amazon.jpg
Ford Montgomery was my first everything.
First love.
First guy I slept with.
First heartbreak when he dumped me without explanation.
A decade later, it’s just my luck he’s the first guy I run into after moving back to my hometown of Charleston. Three piece suit, tie, and a watch worth more than my car--being a mogul looks good on Ford. So does being a doting dad to his adorable four-year-old daughter.
I tell myself I can resist him. But one impulsive, ill-advised kiss later, and Ford is in hot pursuit. He’s determined to make up for his past mistakes, and convinces me to give him a second chance.
What started out as fun between the sheets gets really serious, really fast. Problem is, I swore I’d never give up the dreams I worked so hard for to settle down and do the family thing.
But seeing Ford light up around his daughter--seeing how he’s chasing his ambitions while rocking fatherhood--is making me rethink what I want out of life.
It doesn’t help that behind his corporate veneer is the bad boy I fell in love with. And bad boys aren’t afraid to play dirty...or break hearts.
Southern Heartbreaker is part of the Charleston Heat Series, which is a series of interconnected standalone novels set in the steamy southern town of Charleston, South Carolina.

Review Copy Provided by Author


I’m really struggling with how I want to rate and review Southern Heartbreaker.

From a technical perspective, it’s definitely a 4 star read. The book is well written and has engaging characters. Ford and Eva are easy to like and easy to root for. The secondary cast for this connected stand alone is equally entertaining, especially the scene stealer, Bryce.

This book covers a lot of territory. Not only are Ford and Eva former college sweethearts, but Ford is also a widower with a young daughter. Ms Peterson takes us on a journey that is a bit of a roller coaster as our couple tries to figure things out.

My struggle with Souther Heartbreaker has more to do with some of the plot and sub plots of the story - I won’t go into detail because I don’t want to spoil the book for anyone - but, I will say that some of the issues hit emotional/sore spots for me. I think these are things that are personal, so while this may never be my favorite book, it’s not the books fault.

Southern Heartbreaker is a good continuation of the Charleston Heat series. Ms Peterson does an excellent job of balancing the primary couple and their story with updates from prior main couples and growing the cast of characters to tease us about future books. I’m looking forward to what might be going on with Alex and her gorgeous grump.

4.5 stars - One of the Best


Review Copy Provided by Author


I have a small confession to make.... as a long time a Marie Force reader I wasn’t sure how I felt when she launched the Quantum series. Now, 8 books later, I am so glad we got to know this group of people. The 4.5 star rating is a much for the series as it is Famous because while this is technically a stand alone, I think a reader would be doing themselves a disservice to not read the series in order.

Well written, Ms Force weaves current day headlines (the #metoo movement) and important social issues (domestic violence) into Marlow’s story. Shining a light on these issues, even in a fictional setting, hopefully brings hope to others struggling.

This is very much Marlow’s story. The focus is on her desire to have the type of relationships her friends/co workers have found, the missteps along the way, and a potential happy ending. We see just how strong Marlow is as she faces a challenge and learns to lean of the people closest to get through it.

My one complaint (that seems really strong) was the shifting away from the key main characters POVs to that of several secondary characters for several chapters in a row. It captured needed information and made sure the gang was all spoken for, but the presentation seemed a pick awkward. This is totally personal preference, so please don’t let this one thing dissuade a reader.

Overall, I loved the book and series.
