Release Week Blitz with Review of Mr. Big by Delancy Stewart

About Mr. Big

Once upon a time, I had everything: money, power, a multimillion-dollar company, a loving family. Well, at least I thought I had everything. Then my parents died, and I found out my whole life was based on a lie. That’s pretty much the moment when I went numb. Told the world to f*** off and went on a bender of epic proportion, just to see how far I could fall before I hit rock-bottom.

Now I’m back and all I want in this world is my morning—okay, afternoon—coffee. Then one of my employees has the nerve to call me out for cutting the line at the coffeehouse at the company I own. Sure, I’m a little scruffier than usual, but come on, bitching out the CEO? Not a smart career move. Just who does this smart-mouthed ball-buster think she is? And more important, what do I have to do to get her number?

Holland O’Dell may be uptight, but I wouldn’t mind taking her back to my place and ripping off that business-casual blouse/skirt combo and burying myself in her curves. She pushes my buttons, but at least I’m feeling something. And whatever it is, I won’t stop until I get more.

Advance praise for Mr. Big

“Mr. Big is the kind of smart, sexy delight that every woman deserves to read! [Delancey] Stewart will make you believe in true love in this steamy, heart-wrenching tale.”—USA Today bestselling author Sierra Simone

“With a smart, feisty heroine and hot, tortured hero, Mr. Big has everything I look for in a contemporary romance. Witty, sexy, and full of heart!”—Melanie Harlow, USA Today bestselling author

My Review

Mr. Big by Delancey Stewart has left me with mixed emotions. The plot itself was intriguing and definitely enough to peak my curiosity to give this title a try. The dual perspectives was welcoming and who can say no to knowing both sides of a story. While, the main characters Oliver Cody and Holland O’Dell were likeable, for the most part, but by the time I had read the last word, I felt… I felt… bewildered.

I mean these two had enough self-imposed emotional baggage that they could not bear the weight or pressure of the possibility of them being happy. They just kept getting in their own way in a way that was one part shady and two parts annoying. I liked the premise and I even liked about 75% of this title, but something happened that felt as chaotic as the emotional state of these two that left me feeling...I don’t even know.  

Cover Reveal: The Wright Mistake by K.A. Linde

A new stand alone enemies-to-lovers romance by USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde...

I spent six weeks screwing Austin Wright’s brains out and all I got was this broken heart.

He can’t be trusted. Not with my body or my heart. Yet, two years have passed and I still crave him like an addict needing a fix.

The last time we tried this, it nearly ruined me. I know I should run and never look back. But his dark haunted eyes and razor blade smile speak to my soul. His touch sets my body on fire. And we all know what happens when you light gasoline. Someone is bound to get burned.

A second chance might destroy us both.

Because everyone knows two wrongs don’t make a Wright.

Review Blitz: The Wright Boss by K.A. Linde

About the Wright Boss

A new stand alone office romance from USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde...

I’ve always had one rule:

Don’t mix business and pleasure.

But then Landon Wright comes home to his family’s construction company with a broken back and a beaten heart and ends up as my new sexy boss. As the office gets heated, I’m thinking about throwing the rulebook out the window.

If only there weren’t a million reasons this could never work.

We may have shared a single perfect kiss, but I can’t let our intense connection cloud my judgment. Not with everything I’ve worked for on the line.

Dating your boss is so very, very wrong…even if he feels so Wright.

My Review

Have you ever read a book that was so much of everything that you just had to take a break even just before the ending? Well let me tell you  this and stop tip-toeing around the issue ...The Wright Boss by K.A. Linde is all of that and then some. In this , the second book of this series of standalone novels about the gorgeous, rich and powerful Wright Family, we learn that the sparks we saw sputtering in the first novel The Wright Brother, were just the start of a 5-alarm fire between Landon Wright and Heidi.

Previously, we learned that Landon is the ex-boyfriend of Heidi's lifelong best friend. I guess we could stop there with all the things not in their favor, but the odds against these two just continue to stack up, with Landon being at the end of a very broken marriage and professional golf career that is laying in ruins.  After filing for divorce, moving back home, Landon takes a job with the family's construction company that is the largest in the country. 

Heidi on the other hand is a fighter. She is one the only female in the engineering department and very aware and proud of her accomplishments. She has worked hard all of her life to be better than the hand that was dealt to her, but her fight isn't so ferocious when it comes to Landon.

Everything about the start of their relationship on is complicated. I mean with the crazy soon to be ex-wife Miranda, to the ride or die Wright Family. Like, to say they had a lot going on is an understatement and the wooing, the drama, and the complications carry you all the way to the very that turn or swipe of the page. 

I digress. I enjoyed this one just as I enjoyed the first book of the series, because this author is just good. I mean, she can truly tell a story that is as authentic as a conversation with your best girlfriend. And in spite of the drama, the steamy moments, and the moments, its also a book about second chances in life, love, and family. So, because of all the things I mentioned and all the things I haven't, because you need to run & read it for yourself, I am giving The Wright Boss 5-stars. 

I just can't get enough the Wright family and am looking forward to reading the Wright Mistake coming Summer 2017. I wondering will Morgan get her own book? Things that make you go hmmmm...

Ruthless People by: J. J. McAvoy

I started reading this series over a year ago. I mean, I had requested book two via NetGalley and upon realizing it was a second book in a series I reached out to the author via Twitter to see if it was necessary to read book one first. Her response was not really or something to that affect, so it sat there. But then one day, another book by this same author popped up on Netgalley. The title of the book was Childstar by J.J. McAvoy and I immediately requested this one.  Although, I was intrigued by The Untouchables of the Ruthless People Series, I was turned away by some of the reviews I had been running across.

Anywho, I read Childstar. It was good, but there was something about these two characters, Melony and Liam who popped up in this series and forced me to pay them some attention. I had never read a book that the supporting characters pulled at me so much that I had to know who they were. Melony and Liam become bigger than the main characters in Childstar and thus began my love affair with Ruthless People by J.J. McAvoy.

Immediately after reading Childstar and completing the review, I purchased the first book in the Ruthless People series by the same title. From the beginning to the end the story was phenomenal! There was so much action, crime, corruption, loyalty, and love in this story that it was bursting from my Kindle app. The Callahans were so bad and yet so good all at the same time.

Ruthless people told the beginning of a new era for the Irish crime family, the Callahans. With Cedric stepping down as the Ceann na Conairte and Liam taking his rightful seat on the thrown. And because every king needs a queen Melody Giovanni had been chosen, handpicked, and groomed to not only head the Italian mafia but also to sit at his side. Each of them grew up knowing that this day would come and they studied and prepared all their lives to be the head of the Irish-Italian mafia.

However, Liam could not have been prepared for the strength and fortitude that Melody possessed. She was beautiful, smart, and ruthless and was never afraid to fire her gun for which Liam and his brother lived to tell that tale.  Conversely, Melody was not prepared for Liam’s charm and Hollywood good-likes to sweep her off her feet. She was also not ready for the outpouring of love the Callahan clan had to offer.

They fought each other, they fought anyone that thought about attacking them or dared an attempt, but they were not ready for the attack in their own home that nearly ripped Melody apart and forever changed their family.

I digress. This book was good! There were some grammar checks that annoyed me, but this was just an overall good story that captivated me until the very end. I personally was not prepared for this story. You see, I don’t usually read crime or mafia style books, but I persevered and continued to I swipe left and even sometime right because I just couldn’t believe what I was reading and had to read it again. Overall, I feel I cannot give this read anything less than 5-stars and recommend that you run and read Ruthless People by J.J. McAvoy.

This is one book that I must say you have to read for yourself, especially if you are a fan of this genre.

That Thing Between Eli and Gwen by: J.J.McAvoy

Synopsis

Guinevere ‘Gwen’ Poe thinks her fiancé is the perfect man. He’s handsome, successful and he was her first…

My Review

That Thing with Eli and Gwen by J.J. McAvoy, is a multicultural, new adult romance that was just all around good as it told the tale of two people who had been abandoned by people they thought/ they would spend the rest of their lives with. Gwen was an eclectic artistic soul that thought she was about to marry the man of her dreams until her decided he would take her as a guest to a wedding and leave her there in exchange for the bride. While at the same time, we find Eli jilted at the altar. Eli has his life all planned out as a physician and strives to be like his father, when the woman he has chosen to fill the wife vacancy in his perfectly designed life runs out of their wedding ceremony into the arms of another.

Excerpt

I jumped as Will’s hand brushed across my back.

“Hey, calm down. I’m not planning on groping you in here.” He shrugged, frowning. “I just wanted you to relax…you seem nervous.”

My shoulders fell, tension seeping from them as I shook my head. “I’m sorry, I am a little nervous. Today’s a big day for me.” I took a deep breath. If I wanted to clear the air, it was now or never. “And I’m sorry about last weekend. Things got a bit out of hand.”

Will leaned back against the desk, crossing his ankles. “No, you’re not the one who should be apologizing. I was out of line, and what I said wasn’t fair.” He shrugged. “I’m not saying I don’t find your reasoning frustrating, but if that’s how you really feel, I’ll back off.”

I nodded, finding it hard to meet his eyes. I hated the idea of him backing off but that was the very thing I’d asked him, no yelled at him, to do.

“I like you Em. We should be able to be friends. We get along well.”

I smiled, thinking how right he was. We did get along well. “Friends would be nice.”

He nodded. “Good, friends it is.”

“Yes, friends who refrain from dancing with each other.”

Will frowned. “We should still be able to dance together.”

I laughed. “Not the way you dance.” I felt my face go red just thinking about it. “I’m sorry, I’m just a little embarrassed about…you know…” my voice trailed off, unable to even consider verbalizing our last encounter. Innocent phrases like Texas or nightclub or dance floor felt like they should exist alongside other dirty words in some adults-only dictionary.

Will bent his head to meet my eyes. “If it helps, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about…you know…” His eyes ran down the length of my body and back up before widening deviously, and I had to lean against the desk to stop from sliding to the floor.

This man was going to destroy me and the worst thing was I was powerless to stop him.

About Kim Carmody

Kim Carmody lives in Australia with her husband, in a sunny little part of Melbourne that she never wants to leave. Except for frequent trips to New York, she is happy to leave at least once a year for those.

She holds a Masters in Commerce Marketing and while she spent her younger years training to become a professional dancer, she somehow ended up working in the sports industry, where she met her now husband.  Never a participant or spectator of sport growing up (she was too busy flitting around in a tutu), she has grown to appreciate, if not love many sports and eventually found herself writing about them too.

As an avid book lover from the moment she was introduced to The Babysitters Club as a seven year-old, Kim never expected to be able to call herself an author, but is beyond excited that she now can.

Lexington and 42nd is her first novel.

EXCERPT

Trying to dash off to find the British Prince of Moodiness proves difficult in the six-inch stilettos the stylist had strapped onto my feet. I didn't wear clothing like this. I was the Oklahoma girl­next­door, cute and pretty in my sundresses and boots. I didn't do skintight, short or heeled. I could hear the snickers of the PR handlers around me as I stumbled like a baby calf off of the carpet in search of my responsibility.

Turning down the block and moving away from the mayhem, I spotted a tall figure in the shadows. I'd read enough about Jack the Ripper before coming over here to be spooked, but then I saw the shine of a metal flask being raised to the lips, and I could only take one guess as to who that was.

I marched up, as best as I could in the shoes. "You need to come back and walk the red carpet."
Killian's sky­blue eyes twinkled with sly amusement and barely restrained anger. "Oh, and you're going to make me, huh America's Sweetheart?"

The smell of what I'm sure was overly­ expensive whiskey blew across my face as he exhaled. He pretended to give an air of nonchalance, but I could read his body language better than he thought I could. He was so coiled and tense, he gave a cobra ready to strike a run for its money. Rage and sorrow poured off of him in waves, blanketing the dark side street in misery so abundant that I could feel it down to my bones. And something else. I don't know why it struck me, perhaps because the emotion was running through my veins as well. But this man...he was lonely.

"You're cheeky, I like that." He raised the flask in a salute to me and tilted his head back as the amber liquid disappeared into that appealing mouth. Damn it. This bad boy with a bad attitude was not going to ruin my career or my time here. I was done letting people decide the future for me, sweeping me along in the current just because I let them.

Release Blast & Giveaway for Call Me, Maybe by: Ellie Cahill

Synopsis

“Ellie Cahill is definitely one to watch!” raves bestselling author Cora Carmack, and this steamy, upbeat modern romance about connecting in all the best ways proves it once again.

Clementine Daly knows she's the black sheep. Her wealthy, powerful family has watched her very closely since she almost got caught in an embarrassing scandal a few years ago. So when Clementine's sent on a mission to live up to the Daly name, politely declining isn't an option. Of course, the last thing she does before boarding the plane is to grab a stranger's phone by mistake—leaving the hunky journalist with her phone. Soon his sexy voice is on the line, but he doesn't know her real name, or her famous pedigree—which is just the way Clementine likes it.

Despite all the hassles, Justin Mueller is intrigued to realize that the beautiful brown-eyed girl he met at the airport is suddenly at his fingertips. They agree to exchange phones when they're both back in town, but after a week of flirty texts and wonderfully intimate conversations, Justin doesn't want to let her go. The only problem? It turns out that Clemetine has been lying to him about, well, everything. Except for the one thing two people can't fake, the only thing that matters: The heat between them is for real.

I pushed my fingers through my hair. My heart was full of a feeling I’d had waiting for my grandmother to come out of her hip replacement surgery three years ago. Which was ridiculous considering my phone could be replaced for a few hundred dollars. I could replace both of ours with a few phone calls and a swipe of my American Express.

“I’m really sorry,” I repeated.

“Unless you did this on purpose, you can stop apologizing. We just have to deal with this.”

“Right.” I bit my lip.

“Who are you?” he asked.

My nerves jangled with familiar anxiety. But he had my phone. There was nothing I could do about it if he decided to play detective. Oh god, I’d worked so hard at keeping it clean. Had I missed anything? Anything that he could use? Finally, I said, “Clementine.”

“Clementine?” he repeated with a tone of total disbelief. It was a typical reaction.

“Yes.”

“I’m Justin. I’d say nice to meet you, but . . .”

“Yeah. Well, thanks for being cool about this, Justin.”

“No problem. Do you mind if I give your number to a few people?”

Blog Tour: Outside the Lines by Lisa Desrochers

About Outside the Lines

The first in an edgy new contemporary romance series that follows a family on the run, from the author of the USA Today bestselling A Little Too Far series...

As the oldest son of a Chicago crime lord, Robert Delgado always knew how dangerous life could be. With his mother dead and his father in prison, he’s taking charge of his family’s safety—putting himself and his siblings in witness protection to hide out in a backwater Florida town.

Fourth grade teacher Adri Wilson is worried about the new boy in her class. Sherm is quiet and evasive, especially when he’s around his even cagier older brother. Adri can’t help her attraction to Rob, or the urge to help them both in whatever way she can. 

But the Delgados have enemies on two sides of the mob—their father’s former crew and the rival family he helped take down. It’s only a matter of time before someone finds them. And if Rob isn’t careful, Adri could end up in the crossfire...

My Review

Oustide the Lines by Lisa Desrochers is a romance novel with mob ties that introduced the readers to Robert Delgado and the Delgado Family in witness protection as a result of hit put on their lives as well as a concession to the deal their father struck with the Feds. As part of the program they are given provisions, new identities, and a new life in a small town in Florida, sans all the luxuries of the fab life they had left behind.

Sherm, being the youngest of the Delgado clan, has a teacher by the name of Adri Wilson, who is quite intuitive and sensed a few things immediately upon meeting Sherm and Rob. The first being Rob is hot, the second being Sherm is very withdrawn and maybe Rob is the reason, and the third being that there is just something slightly off when this family is concerned.

Make Me Sin by: J.T Gessinger

About MAKE ME SIN

Chloe Carmichael’s life feels pretty sweet—she’s both maid of honor and florist for her best friend’s A-list wedding, things are getting serious with her boyfriend, and her flower shop is about to get a spread in a national magazine. But it all quickly turns sour whenever the best man, Bad Habit drummer A.J. Edwards, shows his face…his handsome, unforgettable face. A.J. is everything Chloe doesn’t want: tattooed, selfish, and all-around bad news. So why can’t she stop thinking about him?

Goody two-shoes Chloe isn’t exactly A.J.’s type, either, but the chemistry between them is undeniable. A.J. will be the first to say he isn’t a saint, but there’s something he’s not saying—something that would devastate Chloe. The only way he can protect her is to push her away, but the drummer finds he needs her now more than ever. When a wedding-day confrontation reveals secrets they’re both hiding, will Chloe and A.J. ever find their rhythm again?

MY REVIEW

Make Me Sin by J.T. Geissinger is a rockstar romance novel and Book Two in the Bad Habit Series. Initially I was not quite sure what was in store, but what I got was a very good story that was simply page turning, kindle swiping, for real good. This story introduced me to Chloe, a florists and maid of honor in her best friend’s wedding and A.J. a bandmate and best man in the same wedding party. Immediately you can tell that something is up between these two, but what exactly cannot be summed up into a simple compact explanation, wrapped inside a pretty package. Chloe just can’t figure out why A.J. appears to hate her so much, but she has other things to worry about to include her overbearing mother and a boyfriend that seems a little odd to me from the moment he is introduced.

Accelerated by: Tracy Wolff

Synopsis

A sexy carjacker takes a would-be starlet for the ride of her life as a pulse-pounding new series from New York Times bestselling author Tracy Wolff begins.

Once the brains behind a car-boosting ring, Nic Medina has spent the last three years playing it straight. Now drag racers flock to his L.A. auto shop, Hotwired, for a shot at going head-to-head with the man himself. But when a crooked cop gives Nic a treacherous ultimatum—steal ten high-end cars or watch his nephew disappear into the system—he makes the only choice he can, one that puts the life he's worked so hard for at risk. No sooner does Nic agree than he spots some nasty competition—and a gorgeous bystander in harm's way.

A small-town girl with Hollywood dreams, Jordan Bass never expected to be swept up in a real-life drama. But that's exactly what happens when she witnesses a violent crime. And when a smoldering stranger takes the wheel and practically kidnaps her in a desperate bid to keep her safe, she's not sure whether to scream . . . or kiss him. Nic's bad news—but the real bad guys aren't above silencing a witness. On a collision course with danger, Jordan finds herself falling for the man whose street smarts are keeping her alive . . . and whose touch puts her in high gear.

My Review

I must say that I was hesitant to read Accelerated by Tracy Wolff. I mean I have enjoyed other books she has written, but was unsure of what to expect from this one. However, Ms. Wolff showed me quite differently as she introduced me to Nic Medina and Jordan Bass. Nic was a family guy that made sacrifices for his family and carried the guilt of unrealistic expectations that he set for himself with the assistance of a crooked officer of the law. Conversely, Jordan was a fighter, a survivor, who was just trying to live with the hand she was dealt, until the eventful day she finds herself being snatched up and stuffed in her car as it is being stolen by none other than Nic Medina.

Childstar by: J.J. McAvoy

Synopsis

Amelia London is America's sweetheart. Noah Sloan is America's bad boy. Both are former child stars and once were lovers. When they are cast as the leads in the upcoming erotic suspense blockbuster—Sinners Like Us—they are forced to come to terms with the issues that tore them apart to begin with.

As the whole world watches, can they keep their secrets hidden? After all, everybody is a sinner…

                                  My Review

I have to start by saying that this was a pretty good story! I mean, I knew that I liked the synopsis enough to want to read, Childstar, by J.J. McAvoy, but I was not did not know how much I would grow to like the story of Amelia and Noah. This is my first time I have read a story by J.J. McAvoy, and I must say that her style of writing draws you in and have you anticipating for what's next. Her style is detailed enough, that you feel like you are literally watching a movie or some entertainment digest or gossip column, as the story of these star-crossed lovers come to life. 

I was fortunate enough to be able to read the complete series all at once and was not disappointed from the beginning to the end. This series started with what seemed to be a story ripped from the site of www-dot-gossip-and-such-dot-com about two child stars who fell in love, but life, fast-paced and slow, got in the way. One day, they were both cast to play lovers in crime as the lead characters of a best selling novel entitled "Sinners Like Us". There were raw emotions between the two of them that festered to a head once the two of them hit the set and all heck broke loose when lines began  to blur and stirred up for real emotions. Talk about  being reunited and having the feeling feel so good! However, once this happened, the floodgates of emotions of the past, present, and future came tumbling down hill.  From hate, to lust, to love, these two felt these emotions and every time you thought things were finally turning in their favor, something else happens that leaves you wondering how they will get out of this one.
