AMIE'S 4 STAR REVIEW

Such a great read , fast paced and gives the right amount to keep you hooked and hopeful for an HEA. Harper is rebellious and finds herself in a heap of trouble one night. She is sent off to Sunshine Estates to finish out her senior year of high school. At the same time in a different town Cole is struggling with the demands put on him by his father/coach. He is a horrible father and when he pushes Cole's last button the outcome is unexpected. As Cole is also sent away to Sunshine Estates he doesn't expect to find a ray of light there waiting for him. OK so Harper is anything but a ray of light !! She is moody and rude and certainly NOT looking for ANY friends. Sunshine Estates is a welcome calm for Harper though. The life she lives at home is unhealthy and that isn't because of anything she does , it is because the controlling hands of her parents. Once Harper warms to Cole their relationship becomes this super sweet and welcoming piece to the story. Sadly as the school year comes to an end the fear of going home sets in. Neither knowing what to expect yet hoping they can see each other and relish in the happiness they found. Of course once home we see just how dark and controlling Harper's parents are. It was heartbreaking to read about her life and I was so happy that Cole was determined to keep his word and be there for Harper. There were some close calls and some heartbreaking realizations but in the end they found happiness and peace !! 

E.A. Weston was born and raised in Dublin Ireland, She now resides in southern California. 

She is the best-selling author of New Adult contemporary, paranormal, and Fantasy romance novels. By day she stays at home with her daughter but each night she slips away to spin her tales and gets lost in her fantasy worlds. 

As an avid reader, Elizabeth enjoys anything with a bit of romance and a paranormal twist. When she's not writing or devouring her latest read, she can be found spending time with her family or watching movies.

Bro Code by Kendall Ryan ~ COVER REVEAL ~

      

  There’s pretty much only one rule when you’re a guy. Don’t be a douche. Turns out, the fastest way to break that rule is to fall for your best friend’s sister. Ava’s brilliant, sharp-tongued, gorgeous, and ten years younger than me. She’s the sexual equivalent of running with scissors. In a word, she’s dangerous. And completely off-limits. Falling for her could ruin everything. Yet I can’t seem to stop, even when her company is threatened by a lawsuit, and my promotion hinges on representing the opposing client—and winning. I can’t see a way out of this mess that doesn’t end in a broken friendship, a broken heart, or a ruined career. I may have broken the bro code when I fell for Ava. But do I have the balls to handle what comes next?

REVIEWED BY JILL

4 stars for - Until Harmony - book four in the Until Her series by Aurora Rose Reynolds. This is a complete stand-alone featuring one of the twin girls of Nico and Sophie Mayson.

As with all of ARR’s books there is a over the top alpha male, a healthy dose of insta-love and a guaranteed happily ever after.

Harmony Mayson wants a change of scenery and decides to put in for a job at the hospital near her home town. She loves being a nurse  and is hoping to eventually make her way into the emergency department. Moving home has it’s advantages like the gorgeous man her cousin’s husband is good friends with, but he isn’t really her type. She decides they can be friends and goes about making that happen.

Harlen MacCabe was shot helping his club “take out the trash” and while at the hospital for a follow up he sees the gorgeous woman who helped him. She is quirky yet so beautiful and he can’t help but ask her out knowing by the look on her face she is terrified of getting on his bike. Harlen isn’t used to getting turned down by women so a month later when he sees Harmony in town he decides the best course of action is to friend zone her until she has no idea what hit her.

This was a good read that made me laugh out loud, cry and swoon. As with all this author’s books I have a tendency to read them cover to cover in one fell swoop! Loved seeing all the “Original Maysons” with the reminder of the #Boom! Can’t wait to see who she gives us next :)

Greyson Ratcliffe. I met him at sixteen, the hot new guy sitting on my jetty, an aspiring artist just passing through. He was my first kiss and my first love. I wanted forever with him. I didn’t even get a year.

Five years later, I’m a budding writer who scripts stories of love and struggle, the good and the bad and the ups and the downs. He’s a star on the rise; his wicked talent and crazy good looks have his face plastered on countless magazines. We move in two different worlds and still our paths cross again. We’re older and wiser and as crazy about each other as we had been as teenagers.

My medium is words and my imagination is limitless, but not even I could have written the incredible journey we traveled to reach our happily-ever-after. Life isn’t like fiction, and the greatest love stories don’t follow a script.

What He Doesn’t Know Duet by Kandi Steiner ~ COVER REVEAL ~

What He Doesn’t Know Duet by Kandi Steiner 
Coming March 2018 
Genre: Contemporary Romance 
Photographer: Perrywinkle Photography, Lauren Perry 
Cover Designer: Kandi Steiner

What He Doesn’t Know 
Release Date: March 15^th, 2018

On the northeast side of town, there is a house. The house was once magical, filled with love and joy and plans for the future. Inside its walls are many things that belong to me — my books, the china from my mother on my wedding day, the beautiful cage once home to two birds, now empty, just like me. And a man. A man who also belongs to me. A man I no longer wish to keep. A man who, no doubt, has not slept, though the sun is rising. Because the house where he waits is where I laid my head to rest every night for eight years. Until last night. No one who knows me would believe Charlie Pierce, the quiet, bookish girl who never made waves is pulling out of the driveway of a man who isn’t her husband. But they don’t know me at all. I don’t even know me. Not anymore. They say there are two sides to every story, and I suppose in most cases, that’s true. But the one I live inside of? It has three. On the northeast side of town, there is a house. But there is no longer a home.

What He Always Knew
Release Date: March 29^th, 2018

Left or right. It’s that simple, and it isn’t simple at all. If I turn left, the road will lead me back to the man I promised my life to, the one I’d imagined building a family with, the one who’s done everything in his power to get me back. If I turn right, the road will take me to the man I loved first, the man who brought me back to life, the man who would do anything to keep me. I knew the fork in the road was inevitable; it was the decision I never wanted to make between choices I didn't know I had. And I love them both. My heart is destined to exist in two equal halves — one with each man. But one half beats stronger, the vein running deepest, and holds my choice in silence long before I know it for myself. The realization of what I have to do, of the heart I have to break, just might break mine too. Left or right. All I have to do is take a breath and turn.

WHISKEY LULLABY by STEVIE J. COLE ~ RELEASE BLITZ ~

 

Whiskey Lullaby, an all new sexy and emotional standalone by Stevie J. Cole is AVAILABLE NOW!

   

Synopsis

 

We all have guilty pleasures.

Mine was the boy my father took in. The guy everyone said I was too good for. The one I knew would ruin me.

But I couldn't help it. The way Noah Greyson's voice sounded when he sang whiskey lullabies to me in the dark; how perfect his arms felt wrapped around my stomach, his nose nuzzled in my hair- that's what made me fall. That intimacy was what made me so very weak. But now millions of women drift off to sleep while Noah sings the love story we wrote, and it was never meant for the world.

The worst mistake I made wasn’t loving him, it was thinking he loved me, too.

At least, that’s what I thought until now…

Excerpt

  Noah, We were friends. Lovers. Soulmates… and very horrible people together. I wonder, have you forgotten me by now? Have you forgotten the promises we made to each other? Do you remember the person I became, how I fell for you even though I knew it would kill me to love someone like you? I knew better, Noah. I did. And this letter isn’t to admonish you or tear you down. No, it’s to make you see what you do to the people you say you care so deeply for. When I was with you, you made me feel safe and loved and wonderful, but in the end, I felt stupid and so vulnerable. I want to believe you never meant to hurt me; that you never meant to make me hate you. I want to believe all the things you said were true, but it’s hard for me. With everything I’ve found out since we didn’t say goodbye, you must understand why I wish I could forget you. I will forever hate that I was so weak for you, but I was only weak because I loved you. Despite it all. I'll always love you. Hannah

Excerpt

“All these bruises,” Smoke muses. “And not one of them caused by me.” He trails a hand up my arms and down my flat stomach. “Pity, but I still have time to leave my mark on you yet.”   My entire body stiffens. I’m as rigid as a corpse. Smoke chuckles and I’m glad I’m facing away because his laugh is pure torture, causing his erection to vibrate against my folds which are aching for more contact. “You will be punished, hellion. You can be sure of that.” I look over my shoulder and meet his dark eyes which darken even further as his pupils dilate. His lingering gaze rakes me over from my feet to my breasts and back down to the space between my thighs. He licks his full bottom lip. My stomach flips. My will to fight him off doesn’t waiver, but my body isn’t getting the message. My core clenches again. I turn back around to face the tile, digging my teeth into my lower lip until I taste my own blood. His chest presses against my back, and his hardness pulses between my legs, rubbing against my inner thighs. He squirts some shampoo in his hand, working it into my hair. He tilts my head back and rinses my hair then slides his slick and soapy hand down my body. I’m breathing rapidly now. Short quick breaths I can’t control. There’s a deep rumble in his throat. His hand travels lower and lower on my stomach until it’s between my legs. He’s working his thumb over my swollen nub, sending sparks of need, pangs of pleasure, and a wave of self-hatred, surging within my battered body and bruised soul. “What…what are you doing?” I ask, seeing flashes of white hot lust behind my closed eyes. “More questions…” his voice a hearty amused rasp. His fingers circle my clit while he continues to rock his hard cock between my legs. The pressure building is so strong it borders on painful. Tears leak from my eyes. I’m so fucking mad at myself for being turned on. For Smoke being right. I’m so wet. He feels it. There’s no way he can’t feel it.   He leans in close. I’m stone still except for the tremors gripping my body. He licks the tear off my cheek and groans. He dips the tip of his finger inside of me and I tighten around the intrusion. It’s a foreign sensation. Strange. It feels both wrong and right. Pleasurable and painful. “Your tight little pussy is weeping too. I wonder if its tears taste the same.” I look over my shoulder as he withdraws his finger and sucks it into his mouth. He groans. “Fear or desire. They both taste real fuckin’ good to me.” He places his hand back between my legs. When I try to squeeze my thighs together to keep him out he parts them with his knee on a grunt and begins circling my clit again. This time harder. Faster. I’m staying as still as I can, but when I feel something begin to happen inside my body. The sparks he ignited within me are all crashing together. I can’t hold back. My face scrunches as I try to fight the orgasm fighting its way out, but it’s no use. I can’t fight it. It’s too fucking strong. I’m so fucking close. I arch my back without thinking, pressing my ass against him, begging for more. For what I need to push me over the edge. Smoke hisses. “Oh, what I could do to this beautiful little pussy.” The pleasure builds and builds as he strokes me harder. Faster. I’m about to come all over his fingers when the feeling is lost. I spin around. Smoke is gone. I can’t see through the steam so I shut off the spray and wipe the water from my eyes only to see Smoke toweling off in front of the sink on the other side of the bathroom. The only proof I have of what just happened between us was real is his cock. Erect. Thick. Huge. The purplish swollen head bobs against his abs, jutting out over the top of the towel he wraps around his waist. “What…what just happened?” I stammer, leaning back against the wall for support. Smoke steps forward, and when I go to jerk back, he reaches out and pinches my nipple painfully hard. I yelp and leap back, slipping on the tile, falling on my ass, taking the shower curtain down with me. Smoke rips the curtain off my head and glares down at me with a triumphant grin on his evil beautiful face. “What just happened was called punishment and you got off easy. Next time I’ll split that tight pussy in two with my fucking cock.” He goes to leave but stops. “You want pain?” he asks. “I’ll give it to you. You want pleasure? Now that’s something you’re gonna have to earn.”   He leaves, slamming the door behind him. I release a shaky exhale. I’d hoped the rest of my time with Smoke would be tolerable, but there’s no fucking way that’s going to happen. Not now. Not with my skin crawling with need. I’m losing my mind. About where I am. About what this is all about. About this beautiful horrible evil man. I feel like I’ve already been split in two. What Smoke is doing to me is far more than punishment. It's  pure fucking torture.
