A Little Luck ~ Tia Louise~ Cover Reveal

 


Tia Louise has revealed the covers for A Little Luck!



Releasing December 14, 2023


Adam Stone is not a saint. 

He’s six-foot-two, naughty blue eyes, cocky grin, and a bod blessed by the gods.

He’s a surfer, a soldier, a pilot, and he’s been my friend since I moved to our small town when we were just kids.


But another man took my hand.

He took my innocence, took my trust, and broke my heart. 

I was young. I didn’t know love could be a weapon. 

I didn’t know the hand that caressed you could also cut you.


Now that man is dead, and I’m a single-mom survivor wearing a mask so perfect, no one knows the truth. Trust doesn’t come easy, and surviving is a hard habit to break.


But when a plumbing disaster leaves me homeless, one night in Adam Stone’s (supposedly) empty bed changes everything.

I’ve hidden my scars so long, I don’t know how else to be, but I want to try.


I’m in love with Adam Stone. I love every glance, every wink, every furtive touch… 

He says he’s different. He says he loves me and my son, and he wants to take care of us.

I believe in this love.

All I need is a little luck.


(A LITTLE LUCK is a spicy small-town, single mom romance with elements of forced proximity, only one bed, who did this to you, he falls first, and a touch of suspense. No cheating. No cliffhanger.)

Review Round Up ~ November 15




New(er) Releases:


My rating: 5 of 5 stars - One of the Best

Review Copy Provided by Author

There are books we read that leave their imprint on our hearts and Before I’m Gone is one of those. I will keep my review fairly short because it’s a story that needs to be experienced.

Palmer is a 30-something bank manager who appears to have her life together. Kent is a paramedic who thinks things are going in the right direction. They know each other casually through her work until fate brings them together. The story that follows is well-written and emotional. I was pulled in and appreciated their journey and the lessons they shared with us along the way.

Before I’m Gone definitely goes on my list of 5-star reads for the year and I’m not sure I will not be the same after reading.

Merry Little Heartbreak (Legacy of the Maguires Book 5)Merry Little Heartbreak by Stella Holt

3.5 stars - Worth a Reader's Time

Review Copy Provided by Author

In Merry Little Heartbreak we meet Drake, a Maguire cousin and doctor, as he returns home for the first time in 10 years. We also meet his “one that got away” Margo.

This was an entertaining read in the vein of the other Legacy books. I found myself liking both Drake and Margo and even appreciated the decade of miscommunication between them. These two definitely make a case for the right person, at the wrong time.

Add in a bit of family drama, work drama, and oh gosh please don’t make the same mistake twice and you have an easy read that hits the spot.

Review Round Up ~ November 5




New(er) Releases:


My rating: 5 of 5 stars - One of the best!

Born to Sin brings us back to Sinful, Montana with brand new characters. Quinn is a local judge and Beckett is an Australian single dad looking for a new start with his kids.To be honest, this is not an easy book. It’s well written in Ms James unique style and the characters are intriguing, but it is not an easy book.

Quinn is incredibly capable in so many aspects of her life, I appreciated seeing the vulnerability she would show and some of her very honest missteps in underestimating herself.
Beckett is an excellent dad and I loved the way he embraced Quinn’s quirks and worked to navigate the complicated factors of his life.

So, what do I mean about this not being an easy book? It’s honestly some of those complicating factors. Beckett is a widower/single dad with a preteen. He has fine lines to walk between the well-being of his young family and navigating an unconventional new relationship. Ms James embraced this with an extreme about of grace and just enough awkwardness for everything to feel authentic.
 
This is another emotional and impactful book from Ms James! I am curious about where she will take us next.

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

Review copy provided by Author

Ms Rose returned us to Kelly Lakes - a small town in upstate NY and made it so we’d like to visit in real life! Raising the Bar features Claudia, a previous secondary character, as she is faced with “what next” after losing a job she has invested 13 years in. She is paired with Sergeant Davis from the Kelly Lakes PD in one of the best meet-cutes!

I loved that they weren’t a traditional romance. Their path to exploring the chemistry between them had lots of awkward moments, stops and starts, but all of that fit the situations they were dealing with. Claudia had her uncertainty, Jude (we finally learn his name) had his own baggage plus caring for his ill father.

The story woven around these two made me like them and root for them on multiple levels. I appreciate the example that love can bloom from friendship and the path to get there may only sometimes be straightforward or even what we expected.

Fans of Ms Rose will recognize some of the secondary cast. These familiar faces, along with Jude’s Dad, help our couple along in a few key places. If you are new the Kelly Lakes, don’t worry! This is a complete stand alone, but your interest might be peaked to go see some of the other stories!

Bain (Pittsburgh Titans, Book #9) Sawyer Bennett ~ New Release & Review

NEW RELEASE! Bain (Pittsburgh Titans, Book #9) Sawyer Bennett

Synopsis:

 
Bain Hillridge is new to the Titans and he’s building relationships with his new team, both on and off the ice. If only he could keep his hands off his teammate’s little sister. I loved playing for the Arizona Vengeance but I’m stoked to be part of the legacy the Pittsburgh Titans is building. A team that has risen from the ashes, I'mm eager to help them achieve their goal of winning a championship. I’m also looking forward to becoming part of a new hockey family. A night out with my new mates introduces me to the little sister of our goalie, Drake McGinn, and I’m powerless to resist her. Keira and I have an instant and insatiable attraction and it doesn’t take long before we find ourselves tangled up in one another. While Drake has declared his sister off-limits, I’m not deterred because I always go for what I want. I refuse to heed Drake’s warnings and take great pleasure in goading him every chance I get. It’s become one of my favorite hobbies, outside of making his sister scream my name. As things with Keira get hotter, feelings start to develop making it a little more complicated than we intended. But a bucket of ice - cold water is tossed on our relationship and we’re forced to reprioritize every thing. Neither of us were looking for more than a hot fling but fates get twisted all the time. Faced with tough decisions, Keira and I know that no matter what choices we make, our lives are never going to be the same. Bain contains subject matter that may be sensitive to some readers.

Elizabeth's Review

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


Review Copy Provided by Author


In Bain, author Sawyer Benette returns us to the world of the Pittsburg Titans with characters we have previously met in secondary roles. Keira and Bain are both young, single, and ready to mingle!
This was an entertaining, and surprisingly emotional, addition to the series. It was fun to meet new characters as well as getting to revisit past favorites.

One of the things I appreciated about this book is the straightforward approach both Keira and Bain took to getting to know each other. It was clear fairly quickly that they were attempting to fool themselves, but seeing that unfold was part of the fun. Ms Bennett also gave these two a couple of curve balls to handle. The growth and development they experienced made me like our leading couple even more and had me rooting for them to figure things out.

This is a standalone read but is very much a part of the Titan series. These books are mostly chronological - even though this book does overlap with Camden (book 8). New readers could easily start here with Bain and Keira, but I would suggest going back to read Drake (at least) before coming in here as he features significantly in the secondary cast.

Flame ~ Adriana Locke ~New Release

 




Flame by Adriana Locke is now live! 


RSVP to my Marriage of Convenience

 

I swore I would only get married if my life depended on it. Oh, the irony.

Many things have happened over the last few weeks that I didn’t see coming. My family imploded. Our business was turned upside down. And someone threatened to harm me if I didn’t make good on my father’s promises.

But the biggest thing I didn’t see coming?

Foxx Carmichael demanding marriage.

He’s doing it out of loyalty to my brother. I know that. But I can’t help but think if, through that deliciously hot, grumpy exterior, my bodyguard doesn’t have ulterior motives.

There’s no denying the fire in his touch or the heat in his blue eyes. He protects me with a ferocity that leaves me breathless. He makes me rethink many things I thought I knew for sure—like my position on marriage.

But how we dance around our fake relationship makes me wonder what part of this is pretend. None of it matters if he doesn’t admit he feels the same way.

Our sham wedding will fall apart as soon as the threat is contained. But what happens if the flames between us burn everything to the ground first?
