★NEW RELEASE★ BETTER THAN FICTION BY ALEXA MARTIN

Better Than Fiction

BETTER THAN FICTION by Alexa Martin

Release Date: 8th November 2022

Genre: Contemporary Romance

 

Love isn’t always by the books in this charming romantic comedy about a bookseller discovering how to be the main character in her story.

As a self-proclaimed book hater and a firm believer that the movie is always better, Drew Young didn’t anticipate inheriting her grandma’s bookstore, the Book Nook. She’s in way over her head even before the shop’s resident book club, comprising seven of the naughtiest old ladies ever, begin to do what they do best–meddle.

Bestselling author Jasper Williams is a hopeless romantic. When he meets Drew at his Book Nook signing event, he becomes determined to show her the beauty of reading. He curates a book bucket list in exchange for her help exploring the local Denver scene for his current manuscript. From river rafting to local restaurants, Drew begins to connect with Jasper in a way she only thought happened in fiction.

When messy family ties jeopardize the future of the Book Nook, Drew is caught between a bookshelf and a hard place. She’s reminded that real life isn’t always big dreams and sweeping romance. But Jasper is the plot twist she never saw coming and he’s writing a happily ever after just for them.

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING by Julia Whelan

Release Date: 2nd August 2022

Genre: Contemporary Romance

 

 

From the author of My Oxford Year, Julia Whelan’s uplifting novel tells the story of a former actress turned successful audiobook narrator—who has lost sight of her dreams after a tragic accident—and her journey of self-discovery, love, and acceptance when she agrees to narrate one last romance novel.

For Sewanee Chester, being an audiobook narrator is a long way from her old dreams, but the days of being a star on film sets are long behind her. She’s found success and satisfaction from the inside of a sound booth and it allows her to care for her beloved, ailing grandmother. When she arrives in Las Vegas last-minute for a book convention, Sewanee unexpectedly spends a whirlwind night with a charming stranger.

On her return home, Sewanee discovers one of the world’s most beloved romance novelists wanted her to perform her last book—with Brock McNight, the industry’s hottest, most secretive voice. Sewanee doesn’t buy what romance novels are selling—not after her own dreams were tragically cut short—and she stopped narrating them years ago. But her admiration of the late author, and the opportunity to get her grandmother more help, makes her decision for her.

As Sewanee begins work on the book, resurrecting her old romance pseudonym, she and Brock forge a real connection, hidden behind the comfort of anonymity. Soon, she is dreaming again, but secrets are revealed, and the realities of life come crashing down around her once more.

If she can learn to risk everything for desires she has long buried, she will discover a world of intimacy and acceptance she never believed would be hers.

EXPOSED by Kristen Callihan

Series: VIP, #4

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: 13th July 2021

 

 

Brenna

There are some people in life who know exactly how to push your buttons. For me, it’s Rye Peterson. We can’t spend more than ten minutes together before we’re at each other’s throats, which makes working together that much harder. Rye is the bassist for Kill John, the biggest rock band in the world, and I am his publicist. It doesn’t help that the man is gorgeous, funny, talented, and…never takes anything seriously. Avoidance is key.

But everything changes when he overhears something he shouldn’t: a confession made in a moment of weakness. Now the man I’ve tried so hard to ignore is offering me the greatest temptation of all—him.

Rye

Brenna James is the one. The one I can’t have. The one I can’t get out of my mind. Believe me, I’ve tried; the woman loathes me. I managed well enough—until I heard her say she’s as lonely as I am. That she needed to be touched, held, satisfied. And I could no longer deny the truth: I wanted to be the one to give her what she craved.

I convinced her that it would just be sex, mutual satisfaction with nothing deeper. But the moment I have her, she becomes my world. I’ve never given her a good reason to trust me before. Now, I’ve got to show Brenna that we’re so much better together than we ever were apart.

Things are going to get messy. But getting messy with Brenna is what I do best.

 

OUT NOW!

★4 STARS★

Brenna James and Rye Peterson are best known by their loved ones for pushing each other’s buttons. They’ve known one another for years and their lives are intertwined in both career and personal. As well as cousin to band member Killian, Brenna is the group’s PR manager extraordinaire. On paper her life is an enviable one, but there’s a niggling itch Brenna needs help scratching.

As bassist to one of the world’s most famous rock bands Rye should feel content with life. Rather he finds himself at a crossroads. He’s known for his carefree attitude but due to the seriousness of a situation he finds himself in, he finds himself looking for distraction where he shouldn’t.

Luck is in on Rye’s side when he overhears a conversation of Brenna’s, and much to Brenna’s horror he others her a solution the feels can bring them mutual satisfaction. The thin line between love and hate is not one neither of them wish to address, but they are both in agreement at the all consuming attraction that has circled them for years.

Conflict arises when fear and old insecurities rear their head to throw their alliance in jeopardy. It was a frustrating to see them give in to what they considered weakness but it was ultimately satisfying to see them confront it. Rye and Brenna are a passionate couple and along with that element, I enjoyed the playfulness of their relationship.

The VIP series is an wonderful one. The blend of humour and emotion makes each book throughly engaging, and the stories are made to be reread. I’m not ready for the series to come to an end yet but I eagerly await for the music to start again with Whip’s book.

??? ?????’? ?????? ?? ?? ??? ?????! ??? ???????? ???? ????? ?? ??? ???? ????? ??? ????? ????? ??? ??? ????…

This is my last chance to ditch my playboy reputation and finally fulfill my potential. So I’ve made three rules for our biggest season yet: no boozing, no women, and no scandals.

Especially that last thing.

So who do I befriend on the very first day back at the rink? An amazing female hockey player. I want Sylvie in a way that’s more than just friendly. I crave her. But I have a championship to win, and so does she.

Then she gets her heart broken by my teammate, and I make the foolish mistake of comforting her in the best way I know how. Our night together sets off a string of sins.

Nobody can know about our affair, especially my overprotective teammate. I can’t let anyone see into my greedy little heart. Not even her.

The things I want from her, and the things we’ve already done? If anyone knew, there’d be bombshells.

Loverboy-3D-book.png

LOVERBOY by Sarina Bowen

Series: The Company, #2

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: 1st December 2020

 

 

Secrets, desires, and exquisite pie. It’s all in a day’s work at The Company.

Growing up, I was the rough guy from the wrong neighborhood who couldn’t catch a break. Posy was the pampered girl I tried to impress. But I managed to steal only a single kiss before I had to skip town.

Now I’m back, and the tables are turned. Posy runs a struggling pie shop. I’m the VP of a secretive billion dollar security company.

Not that I can tell her.

There’s a murderer on the loose in New York, and he seems to spend a lot of time at Posy’s shop. I can’t let on that I’m here to bring him down before he can harm a hair on her pretty head.

Going undercover as Posy’s new barista wasn’t my idea. I don’t even drink coffee. But now I have to call her “boss,” and do everything the curvy perfectionist asks of me. I’d forgotten how much we infuriate each other, and that she somehow fills me with both irritation and desire in the same breath.

There’s nobody more skilled at stealth ops than me. I can bring this killer down. Right after I take a cold shower. And just as soon as I figure out how to make a skinny peppermint latte with milk poured in the shape of a kitten…

 

Loverboy Teasers.png

 

★4 STARS★

Ask for a hero who is both a lover and a fighter, and I present to you ladies and gentleman, Gunnar Scott.

Although he has a face that both charms and disarms, his true talent is that of cybersecurity extraordinaire. The latest mission he has no choice but to accept is based is in his old stomping ground of New York. He has a hate-hate relationship with the city, but when he learns his one time crush and nemesis’ cafe is unknowingly the hub of criminal activity, his only course of action is donning an apron and going undercover. Posy is every bit the go getter he remembers her being and with his endearment flooding back, it easily becomes apparent this won’t be the in and out job he hoped for.

Running her own business is a humongous achievement and sense of pride for Posy, but of late everything and anything seems to be going wrong. She’s in desperate need of a barista, and as if the universe were playing her trick on her, her prayers are answered by her one time one time crush and nemesis, Gunnar.

For all intents and purposes their relationship should be a strictly professional one, but such is their chemistry that percolates it’s impossible to put their feelings for one another on the back burner. She puts up a valiant effort to resist his charm but he’s so incredibly caring and supportive, he quickly becomes the person she can most relay on.

Loverboy is a robust read packed full of crime cappers, with a healthy shot of feel-good endorphins. If you’re in the mood for a serving of 007 meets coffee heaven, pull up and pew and see what this Loverboy can do.

Release Date: 20th October 2020

 

With the stakes this high, it’s no longer just a game for the quarterback in this romance by the author of Blitzed.

Elliot Reed is living her best life—or pretending to. She owes it to her dad’s memory to be happy and make the most of her new job as Strategic Communications Manager for the Denver Mustangs. Things are going well until star quarterback Quinton Howard Jr. decides to use the field as his stage and becomes the first player to take a knee during the national anthem.

As the son of a former professional athlete, Quinton knows the good, the bad, and the ugly about football. He’s worked his entire life to gain recognition in the sport, and now that he has it, he’s not about to waste his chance to change the league for better. Not even the brilliant but infuriating Elliot, who the Mustangs assign to manage him, will get Quinton back in line.

A rocky initial meeting only leads to more tension between Quinton and Elliot. But as her new job forces them to spend time together, she realizes they may have more in common than she could’ve ever imagined. With her job and his integrity on the line, this is one coin toss that nobody can win.

A new stand-alone hockey romance from USA Today bestseller Sarina Bowen.

On the eve of her thirtieth birthday, successful sports agent Bess Beringer is ready to make some changes. Armed with a five-year plan—indexed and color coded—she’ll tackle a few goals in her personal life.

A big, tall, ripped hunk of hockey player who’s just been traded to the Brooklyn Bruisers is not a part of that five year plan. Mark “Tank” Tankiewicz has a lot of baggage. He’s a ride-or-die loner. He’s on the rebound. He’s also the sexiest thing on two legs, and for some crazy reason it’s Bess that he wants.

She knows better. But then she falls stupid in love with him anyway. And for a while it seems like maybe he’ll do the same.

Until she asks him for the one thing he can never give her…

★4/4.5 STARS★

Bess Beringer is a leading sports agent in her field. She’s worked hard for years and in doing so admits she’s put her personal and love life on the back burner. There’s nothing like a thirtieth birthday to make you reevaluate and Bess is determined to make time for love.

Mark “Tank” Tankiewicz is a blast from Bess’ past. They had a brief and passionate affair when Bess was a newbie on the scene, but their careers took them on different trajectories. While Bess’ work life is on the up, Tank’s seems to be well… tanking. Starting anew in a new city and a new team, Bess is a sight for sore eyes. He would love to pick up where they left of but is met with resistance from Bess.

Whilst Tank is temptation on a stick Bess owes it to herself to find a lasting and committed relationship. She isn’t the same person from all those years ago, but the problem she finds is neither is Tank. He was charming in his young but in his adulthood he’s damn right dangerous.

I’ve followed the Bruisers since their first outing and with every book in the series my affection  and adoration for them grows. There is a wonderful sense of family and even as a reader I too feel as if I am enveloped in it. Each story is angsty, endearing and impossible to put down. As expected, Sarina shots and scores with this winning read!

A SECRET FOR A SECRET by Helena Hunting

Series: All In, #3

Genre: Contemporary/ Sports Romance

Release Date: 12th March 2020

 

From New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting comes a new romance about trading secrets, breaking the rules, and playing for keeps.

My name is Ryan Kingston, and I’m a rule follower. I’ve never been in a fistfight. I always obey the speed limit. I don’t get drunk, and I definitely don’t pick up random women at bars.

Except the night I found out that my whole existence has been a lie.

I got drunk. And picked up a stranger.

Her name was Queenie, and she was everything I’m not: reckless, impulsive, and chaotic. We did shots and traded secrets. And ended up naked at my place.

She left me a thank-you note in the morning and her panties as a parting gift. But no way to contact her.

Six weeks later I’m sitting in the first official team meeting of the season, and there she is. I neglected to mention that I’m the goalie for Seattle’s NHL team.

And Queenie? Turns out she’s the general manager’s daughter.

★RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW★ HOW TO DATE A DOUCHEBAG: THE TEACHING HOURS BY SARA NEY

THE TEACHING HOURS by Sara Ney

Series: How to Date a Douchebag, #5.5

Release Date: 5th May 2020

 

Everyone says Rex Gunderson isn’t boyfriend material. Everyone says he isn’t serious enough. Everyone says he’s a joke. Rumor has it, the disgraced ex-manager of the wrestling team left campus with his tail between his legs.

But now Rex is back—nowhere near the douchebag he used to be—and ready to prove everyone wrong.

The leopard has changed his spots, and he’s about to become my dating coach.

**Initially published as a short story, released in the “Team Player 2: A Sports Anthology,” in September of 2019

Buy Links: Amazon US | Amazon UKiBookNookKobo

 

★3.5 STARS★

The former class clown becomes the teacher in Sara Ney’s latest instalment in The Douchebag series. If you remember well, Rex Gunderson was the team manager to our favourite bunch of wrestlers, that was until he got himself fired by making a silly bet involving the coach’s daughter.

Rex is back on campus and finds himself on the popular student body dating app. He matches with Hannah, roommate to Skylar from The Lying Hours. Although they quickly write of any chance of romance between themselves, Rex enthusiastically takes on the role of her dating coach. Hannah’s style is hapless as it is tactless, but Rex is adamant he can help her bag a man.

They develop an easy rapport and persistently tease one another. It’s not long before their thoughts are on one another rather than readying Hannah to enter the dating world. Their blossoming romance was a cute one, and I enjoyed innocent quality to it.

Rex had always comes across as immature and irritating so it was a very nice surprise to meet the new improved version. Don’t get me wrong, he’s still Rex, but this time there is an endearing quality to him that was missing before.
