Loving Liv ~ Stacey Kennedy ~ New Release

_LL - RB banner.jpg
Six nights of no-strings-attached passion. Six nights of wild fantasies, sexy games, and forbidden adventures. Six nights to show Liv that she belongs with him…
Loving Liv, an all-new sensual and swoon-worthy standalone BDSM romance in the Gone Wild series by USA Today bestselling author Stacey Kennedy, is available now!
Loving Liv_wlogo (1).jpg
USA Today bestselling author, Stacey Kennedy, returns to the passion-filled world of Club Sin and Dirty Little Secrets with this new novella featuring a slightly flawed Dom who has seven days--and seven very steamy nights--on a Caribbean cruise to convince a way-too-innocent woman from his past that maybe the best way for two broken people to find true love is to jump headfirst into the deep end of desire.
Liv Sloane needs a vacation. After her cheating ex broke her heart--and their engagement--Liv never fully recovered. In fact, she's spent the past two years avoiding romance at all costs... with the exception of that sizzling one-night stand she can't seem to forget. So when her friends from college suggest a reunion cruise, Liv knows a relaxing week of sun, sand, and beach reads is exactly what she needs to clear her mind. But when they board the ship, Liv is hit with two surprises. Her friends accidentally booked a singles cruise, and her one-night stand is waiting on deck.
Miles Schantz has spent the past six months thinking about Liv. As a Dom at one of the hottest sex clubs in Las Vegas, Miles has his pick of women... so why can't he get Liv out of his head? When he receives an email asking him to join Liv on a cruise, he can't believe his luck. But when he meets her on board--and she's completely unaware of her "invitation"-- Miles has to come up with a new plan. Six nights of no-strings-attached passion. Six nights of wild fantasies, sexy games, and forbidden adventures. Six nights to show Liv that she belongs with him…

Attracting Aubrey by Avery Flynn ~ New Release and Review

_AA - RB banner.jpg
Carter went from an untouchable movie star to the man I’m falling for.
Attracting Aubrey, an all-new sexy, laugh-out-loud standalone romance in the Gone Wild series from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Avery Flynn, is out now!
Attracting Aubrey Cover

I never dreamed I’d meet my celebrity crush while stealing every single pair of my best friend’s pants.
Trust me, my life is not that wild. In fact, the most excitement I usually get is running my fan-favorite Insta thirst account featuring butt-tastic pics of Hollywood superhero Carter Hayes. So, imagine my shock when, in the middle of the cruise ship hallway, I realize the guy whose shirt I'm stuffing slacks inside of is Carter disguised as a tourist. How I manage not to faint dead away, I've got no clue.
When word leaks that Carter might be on board, he asks me to help him maintain his cover. There’s no way I’m gonna say no to that. I just don't share that I’m the anonymous woman behind the fan account that reported sighting him onboard. No biggie. Right?
However, when things between us go from friendly to hot to OMG-I-can’t-keep-my-clothes-on-around-him, all I can do is hope he never discovers my secret. You see, somewhere along the way, Carter went from an untouchable movie star to the man I’m falling for.

About Avery Flynn
avery-flynn-about-300x300.jpg
USA Today bestselling romance author Avery Flynn has three slightly-wild children, loves a hockey-addicted husband and is desperately hoping someone invents the coffee IV drip.
She fell in love with romance while reading Johanna Lindsey’s Mallory books. It wasn’t long before Avery had read through all the romance offerings at her local library. Needing a romance fix, she turned to Harlequin’s four books a month home delivery service to ease the withdrawal symptoms. That worked for a short time, but it wasn’t long before the local book stores’ staff knew her by name.
Avery was a reader before she was a writer and hopes to always be both. She loves to write about smartass alpha heroes who are as good with a quip as they are with their *ahem* other God-given talents. Her heroines are feisty, fierce and fantastic. Brainy and brave, these ladies know how to stand on their own two feet and knock the bad guys off theirs.

Elizabeth's Review


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


Review Copy Provided by Author


It took me a little bit to get into Attracting Aubrey (thanks Covid 19), but once I did I had a hard time putting it down.

Aubrey and Carter are both characters that are easy to like and I appreciated the emotional growth both went through as they spent time together. Both are fairly young and stuck in a bit of a rut - I enjoyed seeing them break out of it and try new things.

This is a short read, so we don’t get a super deep dive into what really makes them tick not do we get to know the secondary cast very well. What we do get is a fun little vacation read with a happy for now ending. I would love to see a more in depth story about how these two worked to blend their very different worlds as they go after a happily ever after ending.

Kissing Kendall, an all-new, steamy tropical fling standalone romance in the Gone Wild Series from New York Times bestselling author Katee Robert, is available now!
Kissing Kendall_wlogo.jpg
All Kendall Barnes wants is a nice relaxing cruise to reconnect with her friends from college. Instead, they're mistakenly booked on a singles' cruise. Despite this series of unfortunate events, Kendall is determined to follow through on her original plan... At least until she meets a gorgeous stranger who might just be enough to tempt her into breaking all her rules.
Alex Jeffries is on his first vacation in over ten years, and he hates every second of it. He can't stop thinking about what could be going wrong with the bar he owns back home, at least until he meets Kendall and forgets about everything but kissing her. Maybe a party cruise wasn't the worst idea after all...
Kendall and Alex embark on a sexy fling, but it only takes a few days for the truth to sink in. The mind-blowing chemistry between them is only getting stronger, and despite the expiration date they both agreed on, they can't help wondering if this vacation fling can go the distance...
Or are they destined to crash and burn when they come back to reality?

Review Round Up ~ March 20


Coming Soon/New Releases:


The Honey-Don't ListThe Honey-Don't List by Christina Lauren

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

Review Copy Provided by Publisher via Net Galley

The duo behind Christina Lauren is one that I can depend on for delivering an enjoyable read and The Honey Don’t List is no exception.

Carey and James are the couple at the center of our story. They have the unenviable job of keeping TV’s “it” couple together while their “perfect” image unravels.

Both Carey and James were easy to like and fairly easy to relate to. I think almost everyone has woken up at one point and asked themselves “how did this become my life?” I appreciated the growth both of them went through. Carey’s was more internal and had a “why this and what’s next” vibe where for James it was more an issue of him starting to look outside himself and taking control.

Whether intentional or not, the Honey Don’t List includes several poignant messages for anyone. The ideas of standing up for yourself, looking out for others, and not losing the good things for the next thing are all woven into this well written and entertaining story.

TBR Reads:


Blocked (Gold Hockey, #1)Blocked by Elise Faber

3.5 Stars - Worth a Reader's Time

Book purchased for "Free"

Ms Faber is an author I've read before, but this was the first of her hockey books that I've read and now I am very curious about the Gold hockey players.

Brit is a female goalie who has worked her way to being a back up NHL goalie, the first woman to do so. The deck is stacked against her when she arrives and it seems to get worse at first. I liked Brit, she's worked hard to get to where she is, but she maintains her femininity while doing so.

Stefan is the team captain who has a few struggles of his own. I liked him from the beginning too; He appeared to be a genuinely good guy and strong teammate. The chemistry between these two was intense from the beginning, but one of my favorite parts about Stefan was that he seem to appreciate where Brit was coming from and respected that.

Overall, I enjoyed this story. There were a couple of places that seemed over the top, but they really fall under the bucket of artistic license. Ms Faber did an excellent job of blending this story along with the cast building that will allow the series to grow.

 Just a Fling (Blue Beech, #1)Just a Fling by Charity Ferrell

My rating: 3 of 5 stars - Average Read

Book purchased for "Free"

This was a free read I picked up from a new to me author. If I were an emoji this book would be a “meh.”

I feel bad saying that because it’s not a bad book, it just a book that I didn’t connect with. Going into Just a Fling, I felt like I was missing information. This is the first book in the series, but is the series a crossover from something else? I don’t know....

Neither Hudson nor Stella were super easy to like or support. Some of that maybe personal opinion, but i felt they were a bit flat and struggled with understanding their motivations.

Add in wishy washy actions, a plot that just didn’t gel for me, and several major editing mistakes and this just wasn’t a book I loved.

Mum's The Word ~ Staci Heart ~ Teaser!

Mum's The Word, the third in the Bennet Brothers series from Staci Hart, is coming March 31st. I've got a little teaser to hold you over. Mark your calendars and get ready to fall in love with Marcus Bennet!




She shifted in her seat, face upturned as she took my hands. “Is there anything I could say would convince you that you aren’t responsible for my feelings, for my happiness?"


“Nothing.”


With the shake of her head, she said, “But you aren’t.”


“Maybe I want to be.”








Falling in love with a Bennet is not an option.

My mother has summoned me home to take my place at Bower Bouquets, and as the heiress, I’m expected to do as I’m told. I’m expected to sit by her side as she does her best to decimate the Bennet family and their flower shop, Longbourne. I’m expected to play by her rules, or she’ll ruin me too.

But the day I crash into Marcus Bennet changes everything. And the kiss seals the deal. If my mother finds out, I’ll lose everything—my family, my life, my security. Worse, she’ll make sure the Bennets pay for my mistakes.

Falling in love with a Bennet is not an option.

But I might not have a choice.

Pre-order your copy of Mum's the Word from your preferred retailer today!

Everyone hates parts of their job.

Maybe it’s the paperwork. Maybe it’s the day-to-day grind. Maybe it’s that client who never knows what they want, or the guy who always cooks fish in the microwave.

But not me. I love every corner of the Longbourne Flower Shop, every flower, every petal, every stem. I love the greenhouse, and I love Mrs. Bennet, my boss. I love creating, and I love being a florist. I don’t hate anything at all.

Except for Luke Bennet.

The Bennet brothers have come home to help their mom save the flower shop, and Luke is at the helm. His smile tells a tale of lust, loose and easy. He moves with the grace of a predator, feral and wild. A thing unbridled, without rules or constraint. When he comes home to save Longbourne, I almost can’t be mad at him. Almost.

He doesn’t remember that night I’ll never forget. That kiss, touched with whiskey and fire. It branded me like a red-hot iron. But it meant nothing to him.

Everyone hates part of their job, and I hate Luke Bennet.

Because if I don’t, I’ll fall in love with him.

They say there’s no such thing as perfect.

But I’ve built my life to perfection—the perfect boyfriend, the perfect apartment, the perfect career planning celebrity weddings. My job—my only job—is to make sure every event is absolutely and completely perfect.

What’s not perfect? Kash Bennet.

And I wish I didn’t find that so appealing.

I could have told you every perfectly imperfect thing about the gardener at Longbourne. Like his hair, lush and black and far too long. Or his nose, the flat bridge of a Greek god, bent a little like it’s been broken. Or his size. Beastly. Roped and corded with muscles, gleaming with sweat and peppered with dirt. There’s no escaping him, not if I’m going to use his family’s flower shop for my events.

But nothing is what it seems. And in the span of a heartbeat, my perfect life is turned inside out. They say the best way to get over somebody is to get under somebody new. When Kash offers his services to the cause, it sounds like the perfect plan.

What’s not part of the plan? Falling in love with the gardener.

But they were right—there’s no such thing as perfect.

And I’m the fool who finds out the hard way.

She's also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she's been drinking whiskey. When she's not writing, she's reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.
