Dr Ceo ~ Louise Bay ~ New Release & Review

Dr. CEO

Louise Bay

Release Date: August 31

FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

She hates him. He can’t get enough of her.

My life was simple until Vincent Cove, an (annoyingly hot) American billionaire, arrived. He wants to convert the English country mansion where I live and work into a glitzy hotel.

Over my dead body.

I’m just a small-town waitress, up against Vincent’s goliath fortune, but I won’t go down without a fight. I'm taking on this billionaire bulldozer.

If I’d known his plans I definitely (maybe) wouldn’t have slept with him. And I’m determined to ignore the chemistry growing between us.

Except his charm is distracting, his persistence is irritating and his forearms, sharp jaw and devilish smile are downright infuriating.

At least I don’t have to worry about him sticking around. A self-confessed rolling stone, he can’t commit to a lunch order before noon, so there’s no way he’ll hang around long enough for me to fall in love with him.

A standalone, enemies to lovers, small town, billionaire romance with a guaranteed HEA..

I love a feel-good book where the leading man falls first!
Kate is a small-town girl who loves life JUST the way it is when Vincent sweeps her off her feet.

The journey these two took from whirlwind to suspicion/animosity to friends to more was sweet to watch. Ms Bay painted a vivid picture and pulled me into the story with entertaining characters and their growth. Secondary characters helped nudge both into the emotional growth that they needed - it can be good to push boundaries!

One of the things that I appreciated was that while they did both fall back on old habits, the conflict moments weren’t so drastic that the recovery seemed false. I was invested in these two and believed in the resolution as well as hoped for it.

An Interconnected stand-alone, DR CEO is a winner of a book and I am now very curious about the other Cove brothers.

A Little Twist ~ Tia Louise ~ Cover Reveal

 


Tia Louise has revealed the covers for A Little Twist!



Releasing September 14, 2023


I never said I was engaged to Alex Stone (a.k.a., the richest man in Eureka)...
My douchey ex just assumed I was, and I didn't correct him.
 
You see, I was having a moment.
I was out of work, out of money, and Alex had just offered me a lifeline by hiring me to be his live-in nanny for a month.
 
So when Drake the douche started going on about what a hot mess I am at my best friend's wedding, I kind of let him believe we were a thing.
I never said the word fiancé, and I definitely never expected Alex to play along.
 
Alex Stone is one of those list-topping, billionaire businessmen-types.
He's controlled, formal, and never makes a bad decision.
He's also tall, dark, and brutally handsome, with smokey hazel eyes, wavy brown hair, and a bod that will melt your brain.
(A detail I happen to know after accidentally catching him just out of the shower naked.)
 
The plan is he'll secretly be my fake fiancé for the night, no harm done.
But when the douche stays longer than the wedding, our "engagement" stops being a secret.
And when Alex decides there are things we should know how to do if we're engaged, like making out and sleeping together, my lie really gets out of control.
 
Because it's one thing to be fake engaged to the hottest, richest man in town, who also happens to be your live-in boss.
It's a little twist to find yourself falling in love with him.
 
(A LITTLE TWIST is a steamy small-town, single-dad/nanny romance with a fake engagement twist. No cheating. No cliffhangers.)

I Wish I Knew ~ Jessica Peterson ~Cover Reveal


Jessica Peterson has revealed the gorgeous cover for I Wish I Knew Then!


Releasing: October 5, 2023

Cover Design: Najla Qamber, Qamber Designs


My grandmother has a saying: what's done in the dark always comes to light, especially in small towns with big secrets. And I was hiding the biggest secret of them all.

Every summer I spent growing up at my grandparents' coastal estate was the same. Same cousins. Same chaos. Same long golf cart rides along the beach.

But everything changed the summer I turned eighteen, when my grandparents' new housekeeper moved in with her son, Riley. With his big personality and head-turning looks, he was the local heartthrob.

We fell in love instantly. Riley was my first everything. First love. First time.

And my first heartbreak when he dumped me at the end of the summer.

Ten years later, I'm back on the island for my best friend's wedding as her maid of honor. Who's the first person I literally stumble into?

Riley Dixon. Even worse? He's the groom's best man.

Being forced to spend an entire week together for wedding festivities quickly leads to more: hot hate sex, late nights of sneaking out, and unexpected revelations. The boy I knew a decade ago is gone, and the hate becomes...something else entirely. And I begin to wonder if Riley is hiding some secrets of his own.


I WISH I KNEW THEN is a small town, second chance romance set on the coast of North Carolina. It is a standalone novel coming October 5, 2023 to KindleUnlimited!

Review Round Up ~ August 22




New(er) Releases:

Love and Order: An Enemies to Lovers Romance (Legacy of the Maguires Book 4)Love and Order: An Enemies to Lovers Romance by Stella Holt

3.5 stars - Worth a Reader's Time

Review Copy Provided by Author

Love and Order follows the last Maquire sibling as he finds his other half. This is labeled as an enemies-to-lovers tale and while it’s set up that way, that’s not the way the story plays out.

Finn is a retired Navy SEAL turned lawyer paired with a fellow attorney to win a big case and potentially make a partner. I enjoyed getting to know both him and Hailey better as we watched them do their best.

This is a basic feel-good story. Finn is truly a good guy and Hailey (while wounded by the past) is a likable, feisty leading lady. The conflict in the story is mainly external and plays out as expected. If you are looking for high drama and angst, this is not the book for you.

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

Review Copy Provided by Author

Hot to the Touch wraps up the trilogy of books in the Hot in Chicago Rookies group. This time we get to spend time with Sam, the playboy of the friend group at the center of this series. Sam is paired with Cass (Cassie, Cassandra) his brother's sister-in-law as they navigate an incredibly difficult situation.

If you have followed the series, you will remember Sam as he has supported Abby and Jude as they figured things out. Now it's their turn to support him. We get to see a much deeper dive into who Sam is behind the playboy persona here. Ms Meader does an excellent job of peeling back the layers and letting the good guy shine through. As we got to know Sam and Cass, I found myself liking both characters and rooting for them to find a new footing and give themselves the grace they needed to find happiness.

One of the things I appreciated about Hot to the Touch is that Ms Meader avoided the most obvious conflict for Sam and Cass. The issue was hinted at, but more complicated and emotional issues were addressed instead. I felt like that added depth to the story and made me that much more invested in the story.

The secondary cast here is amazing. We see lots of the original Hot in Chicago couples make an appearance along with the other Rookies. Add in Ms Meader's expected spiciness and humor and this is a great conclusion to a fun series.

This is a quick novella-length read in the Hot in Chicago world. The characters are new, so if you are new to Ms Meader then you can slide right into the story.
Loyal Meader readers will get great glimpses of previous main characters. This is a fun series am I am looking forward to more rookie reads.

The Proposal ~ Adriana Locke ~ New Release & Review

 



An unexpected proposal occurs when a Vegas oops marriage turns into a marriage of convenience between a rugby player and his best friend's little sister.


The Proposal by Adriana Locke is now live! 


Breaking News: Rugby’s bad boy marries his best friend’s little sister

If Renn Brewer would’ve asked me to marry him, I would’ve said no.

Why?

One, his reputation precedes him. His name is in the headlines at least once a month. Two, he’s not just my brother’s best friend. They’re teammates. And three, I’m in my self-care era. 

Unfortunately, a version of me equates self-care with bad choices.

The cocktail in my hand—similar to the one that got me into this situation—is the prettiest shade of pink. It’s almost the same color as the giant rock on my left hand. And instead of discussing an annulment, I’m considering a 90-day marriage of convenience to the man I accidentally married in Las Vegas.

Renn didn’t propose marriage. But he does deliver a proposal I might be unable to turn down.

Elizabeth's Review

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


Review Copy Provided by Author


The Proposal is pure entertainment and just what I needed to take a break from the "real" world! This is a book that I couldn't wait to finish and was sad to see end all at the same time.

The characters here are brand new; Blakely and Renn have been in each other's orbit for a long time. There's been flirting, bad experiences with other people, and an unwritten rule that things won't go "too" far. Seeing all of that get tossed out the window was fantastic! Ms Locke did a wonderful job of creating characters that were easy to like and root for to find a happy ending. These are people that, while they had an extravagant lifestyle, were also relatable.

Renn has a big family (a Locke trademark) and it was interesting to see the dynamics between them. I will say there was a bit of a plot twist here that makes me wonder if we might actually be seeing the beginning of a new series. Loyal Locke readers will get a kick out of the cameos from previous series and there are even a few hints about a favorite secondary character that may have a story coming soon.

This is a definite recommend to read!
