  Blurb: If I can keep Hush Note’s leading guitarist, Nixon Winters, on the straight and narrow for the next six months, I’ll finally get my own band to manage—assuming we don’t kill each other first. The egotistical, irritating rock star is fresh out of rehab, but it’s obvious his demons followed him home—and now I’m sleeping down the hall. I’ve watched him self-destruct every summer, and with album deadlines and tour dates looming, I can’t let it happen again. My career is in his hands. But tattoos can’t cover every scar, and I’m starting to see through his trademark, irresistible charm to the damage beneath. Everyone wants the rock star. I’m falling for the man. If he doesn’t let me in, he’ll never break the cycle— And when these six months are up, I might be the one left broken.  

     

  About the Author: Rebecca Yarros is a hopeless romantic and a lover of all things coffee, chocolate, and Paleo. She is the author of the Flight & Glory series, including Full Measures, the award-winning Eyes Turned Skyward, Beyond What is Given, and Hallowed Ground. Her new Renegade Series features Wilder and the upcoming Nova, and is sure to keep your heart pounding. She loves military heroes, and has been blissfully married to hers for fourteen years. When she’s not writing, she’s tying hockey skates for her four sons, sneaking in some guitar time, or watching brat-pack movies with her two daughters. She lives in Colorado with the hottest Apache pilot ever, their rambunctious gaggle of kids, an English bulldog who is more stubborn than sweet, and a bunny named General Fluffy Pants who torments the aforementioned bulldog. They recently adopted their youngest daughter from the foster system, and Rebecca is passionate about helping others do the same.

Review Round Up ~ April 11


TBR Reads:


If You Were Mine (After We Fall, #3)If You Were Mine by Melanie Harlow

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

Copy purchased in 2019 LIFT auction

The good girl and a bad boy is always an interesting combination and Ms Harlow definitely delivers here.

Claire and Theo are both interesting characters. I enjoyed seeing her gain the confidence to expand her horizons and go after some of the things she has always wanted in life and been afraid to try. Theo is more complex than he appears at first and it was interesting seeing him discover his marshmallow center.

If You Were Mine is part of the same series as After We Fall and it was fun to see Margot and Jack again.

Amazon



Forever and All the AftersForever and All the Afters by K.I. Lynn

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Review Copy Purchased for Free

Ms Lynn is a newer author for me and I am still getting to know her work, so I wasn’t sure what to expect when reading Forever and All the Afters. The idea of a long lost love resurfacing at crucial moment was interesting and I was curious about the execution.

I don’t want to give too much away, but I will say that i liked the way the scenario here was handled. Aubrey and her high school boyfriend Pike are easy to like and root for, it didn’t take long before I wanted them back together.

This is mainly Aubrey’s story and it was hard to see her rationalize certain situations, but I think it’s a trap a lot of women fall into. It made me want to reach into the book and shake her! There is just enough of the story from Pike’s point of view that it became easier to understand why he did what he did and see the heart of the issue vs the perception.

Forever and All the Afters is a unique read and it makes me want to spend more time with Ms Lynn’s work.

Amazon


 Riven Knight (Tin Gypsy, #2)Riven Knight by Devney Perry

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

Review Copy Purchased

Before reading Gypsy King (book 1 in the Tin Gypsy series) I would have said that I didn't like MC books. At this point, I don't know that I would say it's moved up to being a favorite, but I definitely am enjoying Ms. Perry's version of the genre.

Riven Knight picks up very close to the end of Gypsy King and answers the question about what happened to Genevieve and Isaiah. I enjoyed getting to know both of these characters better and seeing the layers of who they are peeled back from the glimpses we've seen before. It was also fun to discover that Isaiah is connected to characters from another of Ms Perry's series.

The story surrounding Genevieve and Isaiah does an excellent job of blending their growing friendship/romance and the mystery of what happened to Genevieve's mother. The intrigue elements and evolving relationships kept me on my toes and made it hard to put the kindle down. I am definitely looking forward to seeing what happens in Presley's book.

Las Vegas Sidewinders: Ian by Kat Mizera ~ New Release and Review


They're caught on thin ice...
Las Vegas Sidewinders: Ian by Kat Mizera is available now! #HockeyRomance #HockeyStandalone #SidewindersHockey
Amazon -- https://amzn.to/2UjSHH1
Universal -- getbook.at/SidewindersIAN
Apple -- https://apple.co/2V6JjXP
Nook -- http://bit.ly/2T4rNAQ
Kobo -- http://bit.ly/39MEN51
Caught on thin ice between desire and legacy...Scottish-born hockey player Ian Campbell is so much more than a professional athlete and he has the birthright to prove it. But all he cares about is the next championship. Not his law degree and not the weight of the family legacy waiting for him back home; but time is running out on the deal he made with his grandfather. While home for the summer, a gorgeous American stumbles into the local pub and provides him the perfect distraction. Photojournalist Everly Adamson finds herself in Scotland on the business trip of a lifetime. A past mired in secrets and betrayal fades away when she’s behind the lens of her camera; nothing and no one can take that feeling away. Even though a handsome, professional athlete moonlighting as her knight in shining armor is trying to distract her— and she can’t seem to stay away. As their summer romance intensifies, neither of them is prepared for the collision of their two worlds. Ian’s family legacy prevents him from trusting her, and Everly refuses to love a man who won’t. The resolution may be more than either of them can afford...
About the Author:
USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she's called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She's never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she'd probably choose the west coast.
A typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max), Kat can usually be found scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) - traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible.
Kat's been a working freelance writer for nearly 30 years. She sold her first article--a review of a rock concert--for $10 in 1985. Since then she's been an entertainment journalist, waitress, bartender, legal assistant, food critic, magazine editor, substitute teacher, and sports writer. She also spent some time working at A & M Records in Los Angeles.
As you can guess from her Las Vegas Sidewinders series, Kat loves hockey and occasionally writes articles about her favorite team, the Florida Panthers. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There's something enticing about hockey players and romance...

Elizabeth's Review


3.5 Stars - Worth a Reader's Time


Review Copy Provided by Author


Ms Mizera is a newer author for me, but that didn't stop me from diving right into Ian's story. This book is the 15th (wow!) in a series, but read as a complete stand alone, I didn't have any trouble getting to know Ian, his teammates, family, or Everly (his romantic interest)

One word of caution, if you are expecting a heavy hockey story, then this isn't it. This story takes place mostly in the off season, so it's not so much a hockey story, but a story where the hero happens to be a hockey player.

I enjoyed getting to know both Ian and Everly. They were interesting characters with a lot going on in terms of family drama on both sides. My struggle that kept this from being a full 4 star read was the source of the conflict. While it was authentic to Everly's history, the way it was introduced felt forced and over blown. There were so many potential issues these two were dealing with that there were lots of options to force them apart. The issue that was picked plus Ian's explanation of things just seemed a little off to me.

Even with my conflict over the conflict, this was an entertaining read and seemed to be a good bridge for what will be coming in the future of the Sidewinders series. Ms Mizera does an excellent job of weaving teammates and family into the story so that I am looking forward to reading more.
