font-size: medium;">Lisa Kane's 4 Star Review!</span></i></b></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Sigmund first appeared as a secondary character in The Aristocrat. You don't need to read that book first, but it does enrich the back story if you do. He was a player at that time, until he met the love of his life. Sig was married for a short period but lost his wife to cancer early in their marriage.He has been unable to move on, other then his cousin Leo and his wife Felicity, his world revolves around work. There is an elderly woman whom he is close to, named Lavinia, and she reminds him that he needs to join the world of the living. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">His in-laws, Kate and Phil, have proposed to him that it's time to use one of Britney's eggs. They would like to honor her request to have the child she wished for and to raise it. If Sig was willing to be the father, that would be even better, but that is up to him. They have a surrogate in mind, Abby Knickerbocker, the daughter of a friend of theirs. She is aware of the situation and wants to help. Her own life has been in a state of flux the last few years, having lost her mother, her fiance and the family's business. She can either brood about it for the next year, or make the next year really count for something. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Sig is not keen on this idea, in fact he is pretty emphatic that he is no where near to being ready for this kind of change. His first few meetings with Abby are not ideal and the two are a bottle full of oil and vinegar. But Abby does make Sig think about a lot of things in his life and he decides maybe this idea could work out. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">From the time Abby moves to London to prepare for the insemination and eventual pregnancy there is plenty of Abby/Sig moments. This is such an intimate step both are taking and emotions run high. Of course, there are a few dramatic moments that plummet your stomach but there are an equal amount of sweet, makes one teary moments to balance out the angst. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">The Surrogate is a solid read, with fully developed characters. Getting updates on Leo and Felicity is no hardship either. </span></p>Three Chickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01688710071274285008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724151247858480554.post-10079237634819283742024-01-17T13:30:00.002-05:002024-02-01T19:20:28.500-05:00Release Blitz for Sawyer Bennett's Boone<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-5725 size-large" height="176" src="https://sawyerbennett.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Boone-FB-banner-AN-1024x450.jpg" width="400" /></p>

<h3><strong>Synopsis:</strong></h3>
<img alt="" class="alignleft wp-image-5722 size-medium" height="300" src="https://sawyerbennett.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Boone-AMAZON-200x300.jpg" width="200" />
<strong>Boone Rivers uses his fame and fortune as a professional hockey player to his advantage, but not in the way most people would think. Volunteering as often as his busy schedule will allow, Boone meets one brave young boy who turns his world upside down.</strong>
As a first-line right winger for the Pittsburgh Titans, I thrive on the thrill of the game. I live for the smell of the ice, the cheer of the crowd and the way my heart pounds whenever I step into the arena. But once I’m out of my skates, my focus is on giving back to the city of Pittsburgh.
It’s funny how life puts people in your path. I meet Aiden while visiting the children’s hospital and I’m struck by the strength and resilience of this 12-year-old kid fighting for his life. As my visits continue, we bond over video games and hockey until one day Aiden’s older sister walks into his room and I realize there might be a bigger purpose here.
Lilly Hoffman has the weight of the world resting on her slight shoulders. Aiden’s illness isn’t getting better, she’s at risk of losing her job and their father is looking for the answers to his prayers at the bottom of a liquor bottle. I find myself wanting to lessen Lilly’s burden and what starts as a simple act of friendship turns into so much more. As we grow closer, I can’t help but fall for this fiercely protective and independent woman with a tender heart and bruised but not yet broken spirit.
As we face a future of never-ending uncertainty, I vow to be Lilly’s source of strength and comfort. Lilly and Aiden have reaffirmed to me the importance of giving and receiving love unconditionally, even in the darkest of times. And no matter what happens next, no one can take that from us.

He even spends a good portion of his free time volunteering at the local hospital. When Boone meets Aiden Hoffman, there’s something about this young kid that strikes a chord with him as Aiden’s future becomes more and more uncertain Boone finds himself wrapped up not on with Aiden’s life, but with his father’s and his sister Lilly’s as well. Especially Lilly. Boone sees how Lilly caries the bulk of her family’s burden on her shoulders, and he makes it his mission to lessen that burden as much as possible.</span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Lilly Hoffman is primary caretaker not only to her little brother, but her family which includes her alcoholic father and the family business. Lilly has no idea what it’s like to have a life of her own or to be taken care of until she meets Boone Rivers, the Titan hockey player who visits her little brother where he’s a patient in the children’s Cancer ward. Within days of meeting him, Boone has shown Lilly what it’s like to have a shoulder to lean on and more importantly that it’s okay to lean.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="s1" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">After ten books of living the lives of hockey players recovering from or coping with the aftermath of a fateful plane crash, who would have thought book number eleven would be the one to completely shred my heart.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I made two mistakes when reading this story.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><ol class="ol1"><li class="li1" style="-webkit-text-stroke: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="s2" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;"></span><span class="s1" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;">I NEVER read the summary blurb with a series. I don’t want to know what the next actual story will be; I just want to know who the main character(s) will be. Honestly, in a series you can kind of figure out from the end of one storyline who the next storyline will be about.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>That was the case with Boone. At some point in Van2 it was obvious the next storyline would be Boone’s and it would involve this kid Aiden.

Not this time, I read it and from what was said I was immediately on edge because I knew there was going to be some real emotional stuff to deal with.</span></span></li></ol><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">These two things had me totally on edge and my anxiety level through the roof because I knew something horrible was going to happen (as expected), but I now suffered through these characters living day to day with them knowing they had a tough road ahead of them, but me knowing it was going to devastate them beyond belief.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I give a lot of three-star reviews, and quite a few four stars. I don’t give many five-stars. This one received five stars for so many reasons One reason being the way the characters were written.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Most times when a story is written with a terminal character, especially a child, the characters a written with this sort of dark cloud attitude. Which I don’t believe is the case in actual life at least in my experience. As sick as he was, Aiden was full of life. He was a typical eleven-year-old kid. Cancer was what he was battling, not who he was.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Lily had a lot on her plate, but she didn’t come off as “oh woe is me”, or needy. While there were things she wanted/wished for she wasn’t completely down and out, she just handled her business, almost like autopilot. It was day by day for her.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Even Lilly and Aiden’s father Steven with his struggles with alcohol addiction. He wasn’t written as less than a man. He was definitely functioning alcoholic, but he wasn’t written as a disappointment. I think what I appreciated most about Steven and Boone’s relationship was Boone didn’t placate him. He said what he said and that was it. If Steven screwed up Boone didn’t sugar coat anything with him. He simply confirmed that it was a screw up and he needed to do better.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The main reason this book received five stars was the visceral reactions I had while reading. When I read, I often have what I call a movie reel in my head. As I’m reading the visual is like I’m watching a moving screen. For this book, there were times when I felt like I wasn’t just watching a movie screen, but more like I was in the actual room. I felt like I was physically present.</span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">When Boone had his breakdown moment and he described how he felt; the feeling in his chest, the tightening of his throat, I felt that physically.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">My grandfather passed away in February 1994. I, along with many family members were in the room with him until the very end. The experience was something that made me say “I will never do that again”. Well, with that being said, Sawyer was like “hold my beer”. The final scenes with Aiden, especially Lily’s description of his breathing and final breaths had me right back in that hospital room with my grandfather. I was experiencing/witnessing someone taking their last breaths again. The smells, the sounds, the tension in the air it was like being there in the room with these characters. There are very few books that have given me such a feeling.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I also appreciated the way Lily was written at the end. There was no downward spiral, no blaming the world, no self-isolation. You just knew it was her dealing day by day and moving forward.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In general, for such a sad topic, this story wasn’t written so drama-based, it was written from a very realistic view.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I did something a little different with this story. I flipped back and forth between the book and audio versions. The narrators for Boone are Stella Hunter and Jeremy York.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I’m a big Stella Hunter fan and enjoyed her as Lilly. I’ve listened to a few Jeremy York recordings and while I like him, I didn’t think he was a great fit for Boone. If I had to recommend one or the other, I would say this one is best experienced as a visual read.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">All I can say one hundred percent certainty, is have a box of (or three) tissues nearby and your therapist on speed dial, because after this read you’re going to need them.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial;">When life took an unexpected turn, I decided to get out of New York for a while. What better place to go than the idyllic small town my father spoke about so fondly when I was growing up? Laurel Lake held the title </span><i style="font-family: arial;">America’s Friendliest Town</i><span style="font-family: arial;"> for seventeen years running, and </span><i style="font-family: arial;">friendly</i><span style="font-family: arial;"> was just what I needed right now.</span></span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately, <i>friendly</i> wasn’t the welcome I got when I arrived.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Instead, I got <i>Fox Cassidy</i>. My tall, dark, and burly neighbor, who grunted at me instead of saying hello.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Okay, so I might’ve had his mailbox in my hands the first time we met. And it might’ve been a little crushed after removing it from under my tire. And I might’ve needed his help breaking into the place I was staying in after the key broke off in the lock. But still…he didn’t have to be so grumpy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As time went on though, I started to notice things about Fox other than his glares. Like how he watched me when he thought I wasn’t looking, or how fire ignited in his eyes whenever we bickered. Though I was in Laurel Lake to escape my problems, not create new ones. And getting involved with a man like Fox screamed trouble, even if he was gorgeous and unlike any man I’d ever met.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But alas, <i>problem</i> seemed to be my middle name this year. So why not have some fun while I was here for the summer? It seemed like a good plan. At least until it was time to go home…</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">They say what happens at the lake, stays at the lake. But it’s not so easy to walk away when what stays behind…is your heart.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;">

Josie Preston is ready for a change. She's gone through a hard time and wants to just get away from everything. Years ago, her father died and left her a house in Laurel Lake. She's had a renter living there for years, but she is no longer there. Little did Josie know, the former renter was a hoarder and the house is falling apart. She has her work cut out for her, but that's okay with her. She's looking to do a lot of work herself. (with lots of help from Youtube) Josie feels comfortable in this little town, she's had a certain connection to many residents for years. (no spoilers here!)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">What she's not expecting to find is a grumpy neighbor. Fox Cassidy is like an enigma-gorgeous to look at but prickly as all hell. To give the devil his due, Josie ran over his mail box and ruined it. He doesn't suffer fools lightly and he's not sure what to make of this woman. He doubts she's going to be able to fix up that eye sore, not without a contractor, but she's adamant that she can make a go of it. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Both Josie and Fox are wary of romance-both were burnt in the past and neither is chumping at the bit to give romance a chance any time soon. There are lots of funny scenes in this story, any time there is a house falling apart and wayward animals, there is sure to be more than a few laughs. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Both their pasts seem to collide with their presents, can they overcome those challenges? There's a little bit of drama, some mild angst between the two. To be honest, I wish there had been more, nothing keeps me interested more than a few stomach drops and secrets revealed. This one didn't have too many moments that made my stomach do somersaults. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">All in all, What Happens at the Lake is an easy read, likeable with good characters who deserve to find their happily ever afters. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Three Chickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01688710071274285008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724151247858480554.post-58199388475841093282023-11-11T19:56:00.005-05:002023-11-12T08:06:34.801-05:00Release Blitz for Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland's The Rules of Dating My One Night Stand<br />

But then she ghosted him and he was left with nothing but longing for more. Imagine his surprise when he knocks on a tenant's door to answer other tenants' complaints about excessive noise and who answers? Yep, his tenant is his one night stand. </p><p>Devyn Marks has her hands full. Her mother has skipped out again and she had to fly to New York from her home in California to take care of her two teenage siblings. Hannah and Heath are more than a handful-they are borderline juvenile delinquents. They crave attention so badly that they'll act out crying for any attention, bad or good. Devyn is exhausted and at her wits end. </p><p>Owen feels compelled to help Devyn, he might be attracted to her, but she's a good person who is drowning with all her responsibilities. Devyn has learned not to trust most people, her mother showed her over and over again that people leave and Devyn has only herself to trust. </p><p>The other characters from The Law of Opposites Attract series are in this story too. Their lives have changed so much since the series started. Most are married and have children. They give full credit to Ryan, their friend who passed away and left them the inheritance that enabled them to buy the apartment building where they live. He does seem to watch over them and stirs the pot for their futures. A mischievous guardian angel. </p><p>Now if you've read any previous books from this dynamic duo you know there are going to be a few hiccups thrown in. In this case, a couple of stomach plummets. But keep reading. How great could a story be without angst and drama? </p><p>TROD My One Night Stand is a great addition to the series. It introduced a few new characters so there is plenty of opportunity for a lot more books to keep it going! </p>Three Chickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01688710071274285008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724151247858480554.post-7744100880284643792023-09-26T15:29:00.002-04:002023-09-28T08:33:22.382-04:00Release Blitz for RS Grey's Mr Big Shot<p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2DY3G7JmzllirGboVsMaohsQpFW66VqdwV4yHs2zlXYEB-QCDwvugyGvgfWm6RVjySE-3WIAR8iLpXcIlBjrCBGpXCEktpgvwxWrwGrKBVWxqic3wQmi63SSSTqmzkai9UOGw_Z3xDbnJzxPYm5imBMdFi7w7OBD7wrJBYa7sw0QuGHEG8Bk2t_-GUFA/s2560/Mr.BigShot-EbookCover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2560" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2DY3G7JmzllirGboVsMaohsQpFW66VqdwV4yHs2zlXYEB-QCDwvugyGvgfWm6RVjySE-3WIAR8iLpXcIlBjrCBGpXCEktpgvwxWrwGrKBVWxqic3wQmi63SSSTqmzkai9UOGw_Z3xDbnJzxPYm5imBMdFi7w7OBD7wrJBYa7sw0QuGHEG8Bk2t_-GUFA/w291-h320/Mr.BigShot-EbookCover.jpg" width="291" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Biting banter, fake relationships, and illicit workplace rendezvous--</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">anything goes in this romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">author R.S.

I've ready every title she's released and some stand out from the bunch. This one belongs with that category. </p><p>Scarlett Elwood is about to start her first day at the law firm of Elwood Hoyt. That's right-her father is one of the owners. People have always believed that she's gotten where she is because of her father, and although that didn't hurt-she really worked her butt off in law school and is a damn good attorney. </p><p>Practically her whole family has some connection to the firm. On her first day her brother offers some advice-stay clear of Hudson Rhodes. He's a hot shot partner, whose life revolves around his career. On that same first day, Anders Elwood gives Hudson Rhodes an order-to put Scarlett on his team and to go easy on her. Talk about giving Hudson a reason to paint a target on Scarlett's back! </p><p>Scarlett is originally assigned to a different team to work under-that is until Hudson has her assigned to his team. He thinks she's beautiful, but owes her position to nepotism. The two share some sparks, a lot of chemistry and a few misconceptions about each other. </p><p>Scarlett is an over achiever and works harder than any of the other first year team lawyers. They all share a distain for her and like any good school yard bullies, they shun her, and won't let her join in any reindeer games. It might sting, but Scarlett isn't going to let their whispers and harsh words affect her. </p><p>Besides her job, she has a rather lack luster relationship with her boyfriend Jasper. Talk about a total bore. I kept thinking Drop This Loser and get a little something something going with the gorgeous Hudson. </p><p>There's lots of legal action and a little action happening between Scarlett and Hudson too. He is more consumed than Scarlett with his career-he is determined to make Senior Partner. Nothing can interfere with that plan. </p><p>Sometimes life doesn't go according to our plans. Both Hudson and Scarlett find themselves struggling to hide their feelings. But rules and the law can't stop love. It's only fitting that the division of the firm where Scarlett and Hudson work is mergers and acquisitions. Now doesn't that just figure? </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> </p>Three Chickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01688710071274285008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724151247858480554.post-12159442691327183752023-08-20T08:14:00.003-04:002023-08-23T08:56:04.356-04:00Release Blitz for Penelope Ward's I Could Never

We were also two grown people with pent-up frustration toward one another—stuck in a cabin in the woods.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But this was <i>Josh</i>.</div><i><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>I could never.</i></div></i></span><div style="text-align: center;">

She feels Brad would have wanted her to step in and she feels the sense of purpose in helping. Scottie is going to a group home at some point and a relative, Lorraine, who has been taking care of him, isn't interested in doing it long term. Carly's just arrived when an unexpected visitor comes a knockin' at the door. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Josh Mathers was Brad's life long best friend. He's a bit of a player and Carly always thought he was a bad influence on Brad. But he has been part of Brad's family far longer than Carly and he's come to help with Scottie. Guess these two should have coordinated their plans. But they've had no contact in the two years since Brad's been gone and had no idea what the other was planning. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">There's no love lost between these two-Carly's held a grudge over a text she accidentally saw on Brad's phone. One where Josh told Brad how he felt about his new girlfriend. That's smarted ever since and Carly never moved on from the slight. She let's Josh know in one of their heated conversations now that's he's ridden in to save the day. He admits he shouldn't have written it, but he can't take it back can he? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Carly admits to herself that she had no idea how hard it would be to take care of Scottie. He's completely non-verbal and relies solely on his tablet to communicate. He's strong willed, has a large build and is more than she may be able to handle by herself. Maybe Josh helping isn't the worst thing that could be happening. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Josh for his part (this is told in dual POV's) may have had his own reasons for keeping his distance from Carly. He wrangles with his feelings of being second best and his guilt and how he would react if he only knew that Josh has feelings for Carly. This is quite the sticky mess and how two completely different people with the best of intentions can straighten out their complicated relationship-well that's the meat of this story. Learning to let go of the past and look ahead to a future (can their be a future for them?) well, that's the thing about life. It keeps changing and throwing curve balls and road blocks our way. Making a life for ourselves and learning to let others in-that's what makes life worth living. </span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Three Chickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01688710071274285008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724151247858480554.post-36135278869040491982023-08-17T08:01:00.000-04:002023-08-17T08:01:24.244-04:00Release Blitz for Jay Crownover's Son of a Gun <p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38;

She’s combined her most lovable series with her darkest series and boy did it work!! This book gives you the pairing of Daire Archer and Campbell. Daire comes from a privileged background, and Campbell comes from literally nothing. While they feel they absolutely nothing in common, they have more than they could have imagined.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">There was a lot, and I mean A LOT to unpack in this book.

Having basically lived a sheltered life, Daire’s more than a little naïve to how the real world actually works. While she wants to be looked at and treated like an adult, she’s notorious for making childish decisions. Which is the case when she decides to run away, on Christmas Eve, in the middle of a Denver snowstorm and finds herself stranded. The last person she expects to be her savior is Campbell; especially when there is no love lost between the two of them. Because of her impulsiveness, and childish behaviors I wasn’t a huge fan of Daire’s in the beginning, but as time went on, I started to understand her behavior. In a nutshell, aside from dealing with some mental health issues, Daire was also struggling with the changes that were happening in her family dynamic. Specifically, her brother’s ability to move on with his life after tragedy.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><b><i><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I was pushing my brother away because I didn’t know how to live without him.

You know the saying “Sometimes good people do bad things”? Well, that’s how I saw Campbell. It’s very cliché-ish, but the best way to describe Campbell is, mysterious. He truly is. Even Daire admits the amount of time she’s known him, she doesn’t know if Campbell is his first name or last name. Turns out, neither does he.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>At first glance he’s intimidating and dark, but the more you get to know him, you see his heart is huge. But it’s only reserved for a select few people. This is a guy who basically grew up in the armpit of hell. His mother died when he was young, and he suspects his dirtbag father murdered her. His main objective is to protect his younger siblings and keep them as far away from his father as possible. Every horrible thing he’s ever done, and he’s done some horrible things, was to keep them save and to survive.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Unlike Daire, I was a fan of Campbell’s from the door.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><b><i><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I couldn’t even tell Daire how old I was if she asked.

During the travels the two get to see other sides of one another and gain better perspectives on what makes them tick. Of course, there’s that good ole sexual tension and the inevitable realization that they actually care for each other. The slow burn in this book works very well in this book. What I really liked about the two characters coming together was the protectiveness they developed for each other. I also appreciated while there was happy ending so to speak, it wasn’t wrapped in a nice, neat bow. These were two very flawed individuals in the beginning of this book, and they were still flawed in the end.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I was very nervous going into this book because it had been a while since I’d read each series so I wasn’t sure I would remember who was who, because there were a lot of returning characters; but the storyline and the placement of characters came back to me immediately. Although this is considered a standalone, I would definitely recommend reading each series to get a deeper understanding of Daire and Campbell. There is is a tree at the beginning to help you navigate the characters, and at the end a list of what books have what characters.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">After reading this latest book, I’m very tempted to do rereads of the previous books (or at least listen to the audiobooks), and I’m not really one to reread.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p></div>

<img alt="" class="alignleft wp-image-5411 size-medium" height="300" src="https://sawyerbennett.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Camden-AMAZON-1-200x300.jpg" width="200" />
<strong>Camden Poe is the last of <em>The Lucky Three</em>, the surviving Pittsburgh Titans who weren’t on the team plane the night it went down. By all outward appearances, he’s adjusted to post-crash life well but inside he’s wrestling with the guilt of living. </strong>
The catastrophe that killed the Pittsburgh Titans changed my entire world. My teammates were more than my friends—they were my brothers. I mourned their loss with the rest of the nation but then I did as I’ve been taught… I moved on. I focused on returning to the ice with the newly rebuilt team and put the tragedy behind me. Considering the circumstances, I adjusted well. Or so I thought. Now I’m plagued by nightmares of the crash and my play has suffered as a result. Facing the possibility of losing my place on the team, I need to pull myself together and fast.
My buddy and linemate, Mitch Brandt died in the crash, leaving his wife Danica and son Travis behind to pick up the pieces of their shattered family. After reconnecting with Danica at a support group meeting, I find myself inexplicably drawn to helping her and her son move forward. What starts as two friends finding solace in one another following a tragedy becomes something more, leaving us both wondering if we deserve this chance.
I feel as if I’m walking a precarious line between a man falling for an incredible woman and a man moving in on his dead friend’s wife. But one thing is crystal clear—I’ve found a peace with Danica that I wasn’t sure I’d ever have again. Now I need to find the confidence within myself to push past the insecurities and make sure she knows how important she is to me because if I don’t, I’ll lose the one thing that makes me truly complete.

There’s a level of stress that comes with being labeled one of the lucky three. All eyes are on Camden and his teammates, Coen and Hendrix, watching how they proceed with their lives, hockey, and their newly built team. Camden’s kept a pretty low profile and to the outside world he seems to be adjusting well to the new normal after the horrendous plane crash that took the lives of his entire team Titans hockey team. No one is privy to the nightmares that plaque him nightly. When an off night that causes him to miss a team practice, Camden’s called on his shit by non-other than coach Cannon and is ordered to attend a support group. It’s there he reconnects with Danica Brandt, his former teammate’s widow.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">This series has had me on edge from the start, mainly because of how it started. Through eight books, I’ve been waiting for the massive meltdown that was surely to come with one of the three players. Initially I thought it would be Stone because he’d lost his brother in the crash, he was moving up and playing on the newly established team and they hadn’t had the best relationship. I figured there’d be a massive meltdown and “come to Jesus” moment; but that didn’t happen. Then I though “oh, it’s gonna be Coen”, that guy was in such a bad head space, and he seemed to be the trainwreck of the three. I wrong again. Okay, then we get Brienne’s story by way of Drake. This is gonna be it, the woman lost her brother, inherited a whole franchise that she has to put back together. This is definitely gonna to be it. The pressure of all of that and Drake being a pain in the ass, yeah, she’s going to buckle. Well, NADA. Then comes Hendrix. With his well-adjusted personality and I was at a total loss. Like when is she going to hit us with the with the ugly cry storyline. Here we are with Camden. This one was definitely going to be it because it’s two people dealing with the loss. Although one could say Stone and Harlow both dealt with the loss of Brooks, this one is different because aside from grieving the loss of a good friend, there’s also a mother and child grieving. So yeah, I prepared myself because I just knew this was it. I think I kind of got was I was looking for, but not they way I thought.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">While all three players have some level of guilt about surviving, or not being on that fatal flight, I think Cam’s struggle is hardest. Not only is he having nightmares of a fiery crash (I think it’s the descriptions of his dreams that get me), but he’s falling for a good friend’s wife and his son. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">When he’s is forced to attend a support group session, he sees Danica Brandt. Danica is the widow of player, Mitch Brandt, who happened to be a very good friend of Cam’s. Cam experiences a bit of guilt for not being there for Danica and her son Travis in Mitch’s absence because after all, he wasn’t just good friends with Mitch, he was friends with Danica. He begins to spend time with the two, helping Travis with Hockey, doing small odd and ends around the house for Danica. It’s not long before Cam takes a chance and asks Danica out and the two fall into a “semi relationship”. While Danica is onboard and ready to move full steam ahead, Cam is leery of the perception it will give. Is he breaking a “Bro-Code”? Will his team members look at him differently?<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">While it wasn’t a massive meltdown, Cam’s struggle was deep on a totally different level. How could he fall in love with his buddy’s wife? How could he step in and be there for Travis without stepping on Mitch’s toes? How could he compete with the memory of a man who was everything to two people he’d come to love? Luckily for him, Danica was a woman of her own mind.</span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I really liked Danica. She wasn’t the broken, grieving widow. At her own admission, she would always love Mitch and would probably always think about him, and it would probably make her sad sometimes, but her missing him couldn’t rule her life or Travis’. She was resilient. Having to deal with unexpected financial difficulties, (which again her admission, that she and Mitch hadn’t adequately planned), becoming a single working mom, she picked up the pieces and moved on. She was moving in a direction that would heal both her and Travis, and she was ready to move on in love too. I really loved these two has a couple.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">So, I guess, in as much as she devastated us all by killing and ENTIRE hockey team, administrators, and flight crew in a fiery crash, I guess it’s only fair to not torture us with complete gut-wrenching storylines that make us feel like we need therapy. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">This was a quick, fun read. Next to no angst, very straight forward story of two people falling in love. There’s just something about two people finding their way to each other and a HEA after a tragedy that gets you all in the feels.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Next up is Bain, I’m curious as to what the former Arizona Vengeance player has in store for us.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p><br /></p>Three Chickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01688710071274285008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724151247858480554.post-31173513256757800102023-07-02T07:44:00.008-04:002023-07-06T08:30:53.658-04:00Release Blitz for Vi Keeland's Something Unexpected!

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">When my grandmother found out she didn’t have long to live, she embarked on a crazy trip—jumping out of airplanes and scuba diving with sharks.</span></span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">After I repeatedly voiced my concern, Gram blocked me—<i>her own grandson</i>—on text and social media, leaving me only her travel companion Eleanor’s number.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Eleanor started sending me pictures of Gram’s adventures. At first she seemed nice, but when I attempted to persuade her to talk some sense into her friend, she told me where I could stick my advice. After that, photos arrived with snarky comments, and Eleanor and I got into it on more than one occasion.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When I heard Gram’s upcoming plans were more dangerous than ever, I hopped on a plane.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since I arrived late, I headed to the bar for a drink, figuring I’d surprise her in the morning.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">To my delight, I met a gorgeous woman looking for a no-strings-attached night. <i>Nora</i> was just what I needed. She invited me back to her room, telling me to give her a ten-minute head start. But when I went to pay her bar tab, I realized how much she’d had to drink. As much as I wanted to ignore it, I couldn’t. So I stood Nora up.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I knew she’d be pissed, but I also knew I’d never see her again.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Except <i>never</i> came a little early. Namely, the next morning when I went to meet my grandmother and her evil-spinster friend. Because <i>old Eleanor</i> turned out to be <i>young Nora</i> from last night. And if I thought the woman disliked me before, that was nothing compared to how ticked-off she was now. Or how unhappy she was going to be that their party of two was about to become a party of three.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;">

font-size: large;">Lisa Kane's 4.5 Star Review</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">When Beck's grand mom, Louise, is taking risks and jumping out of airplanes, he wants to get to the bottom of things. He's aware that she has a terminal diagnosis, but she's rapidly going through some bucket list and taking some crazy chances. She's not alone in her travels-it seems a woman named Nora, who lives in the same apartment complex is the Thelma to her Louise (pun intended). </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">When he visits his gran he meets an attractive woman in a bar. After lots of witty banter, they agree to a night of no strings sex. But Beck doesn't deliver the goods as he thinks his companion's judgment is impaired due to a few too many cocktails. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">You know that this mystery woman is going to be the same one that is Louise's companion, right? Things are going to get very complicated very quickly. Something Unexpected is funny and has some incredible dialogue. But I don't think it's a reach to suggest you have a few tissues ready. There are some serious issues in this story, not all of life's problems can be tied up in neat little bows and solved. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I'm a big fan of this one. Beck has a brother who is the complete opposite of him and I'm hoping we get his story next. </span></p><p><br /></p>Three Chickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01688710071274285008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724151247858480554.post-57028476088898609382023-06-05T20:59:00.002-04:002023-06-06T06:34:09.881-04:00Release Blitz for Sawyer Bennett's Hendrix (Pittsburgh Titans #7) <p><br /></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Hendrix: A Pittsburgh Titans Novel<br />Sawyer Bennett<br />Release Date: June 6, 2023</span></b></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px; text-align: center;"><br /></p><p class="p4" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></span></p><p class="p4" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></span></p><p class="p4" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><b></b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXdD8PpYXKDATCpHEJFNmb8VUSOk1lwYsGqShSirQhB8L45SiPOytdLnhzkJiwaGKSP9ZyQIGGgEqFI_bSvB_RpDSV1rIEQ1x_Z5Say6MZyoWSrcYHc8BiaTzIioivDZoo7Td4pDlM4UcslNI4exSMX4gjmh6s4obP_vk4SQfl3LJ-H59T_ocmTfEy/s1080/hendrix.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXdD8PpYXKDATCpHEJFNmb8VUSOk1lwYsGqShSirQhB8L45SiPOytdLnhzkJiwaGKSP9ZyQIGGgEqFI_bSvB_RpDSV1rIEQ1x_Z5Say6MZyoWSrcYHc8BiaTzIioivDZoo7Td4pDlM4UcslNI4exSMX4gjmh6s4obP_vk4SQfl3LJ-H59T_ocmTfEy/s320/hendrix.jpeg" width="320" /></a></b></div><b><br /></b><p></p><p class="p4" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></span></p><p class="p4" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Synopsis:</span></b></span></p><p class="p4" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><b>Hendrix Bateman is one of <i>The Lucky Three</i>, a trio of players who were not on the Titan’s team plane the night it crashed.

Yeah, that might cause a little—okay, a lot of—guilt, but now I’m determined to live each day as if it’s my last.</span></span></p><p class="p5" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p4" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">A night out with friends puts me in the crosshairs of Stevie Kisner—the devastatingly beautiful bar owner with a sharp tongue and a fire in her eyes that lets me know she has zero tolerance for guys like me. I’ve never been one to back away from a challenge, so I’m not dissuaded by Stevie’s tough as nails attitude or her big biker dad who looks like he wants to kill me. Fueled by too many shots and the raucous urging of my teammates, I set out to show Stevie I’ve got game both on and off the ice.</span></span></p><p class="p5" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p4" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">While I shouldn’t be looking for anything more than a good time, I can’t help but be captivated by Stevie. She’s cool as hell and we burn hot together. But the more I get to know her, the more I can tell she’s holding something in reserve, and let’s just say I’ve got some trust issues after my last disastrous attempt at a relationship. Now I need to decide if I’m going to let my past dictate my future or if I am willing to put my heart on the line to find out if Stevie is exactly what I think she is—my everything.</span></span></p><p class="p5" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);

font-size: medium;">The devastating crash that took the lives of the Pittsburgh Titans left an effect on everyone including Hendrix Bateman. Deemed one of the “lucky three” along with two other teammates who were not aboard that fateful crash Hendrix in the mindset of “life is short”, so he’s making every minute count. Including getting out of an unhappy and toxic relationship and pursuing one Stevie Kisner.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Hendrix no stranger to catastrophic loss, since he suffered the loss of his sister he’s all to familiar how precious and fragile life can be. Because of that experience and the help of therapy, Hendrix is surprisingly well adjusted in coping with the loss. He’s definitely missing and thinks of his former teammates on a regular basis, but he seems to know how to channel the emotions of it all. When he meets bar owner Stevie Kisner, he’s knocked for a loop. Stevie is nothing like the women he’s dated in the past. She’s a bar chick who can wield a baseball bat to break up a fight like nobody’s business and can command a pool table like she was born to play the game; but Stevie’s not giving into him so easily. Never one to quit, Hendrix doesn’t let this deter him. He finally wears Stevie down and before you know it, he’s head over heels; but Stevie isn’t one to give her heart so easily.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Stevie Kisner is very familiar with “dead beat parents”, in this case it’s her mother who was the deadbeat. Abandoned by her mom at a young age she was raised solely by her dad who as far as she’s concerned, hangs the stars and the mom; even though her dad was perfect in every way, Stevie still has abandonment issues and longs for some type of relationship with her mom. So much so that she gives her mom chance after chance. Until her mother does something that jeopardizes her relationship with Hendrix. When Hendrix fails to give her the benefit of the doubt, Stevie is once again left feeling abandoned.</span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Hendrix’s story is short and sweet, low on angst, but high on passion. This is a cute “feel good” type of book and definitely a good pool side or beach day read this summer. It takes place in the fall/winter around the holidays so it almost seems like you can hold off and read it then to get all the “holiday feels”, and magical “I love you’s” that just gets you in the heart.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">While Hendrix isn’t one of my top Titan’s books in the series, it’s definitely worth the read.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Up next in the Titan’s Series is Mr. Camden Poe, who is the third member of the lucky three.

<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Blushing in the Big Leagues by R.S. Grey is now live! </em></strong></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">I have one simple rule: don’t date professional baseball players. There are no exceptions, no workarounds.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">“What if—” </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>No.</em></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">“Could he—” </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Nuh-uh.</em></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">With a brother in the league, I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the downright <em>horrifying</em>. Those guys might seem tantalizing when they’re in uniform down on the field, hitting grand slams in front of a crowd of adoring fans, but I know better. The huge egos? The insane travel schedules? The veritable <em>buffet</em> of female companions? No ma’am. Professional athletes are best handled at a distance, preferably far enough away that their chiseled jawlines blur into oblivion. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">Enter Grant Navarro.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">He’s the baseball player to <em>end</em> all baseball players. The one I should have marked with a big red X the first moment I laid eyes on him. Only the night we met (and kissed—<em>oops</em>), I didn’t know he was my brother’s newest teammate. Imagine my shock when I realized the sexiest man in Manhattan was officially off limits.<em> Just my luck!</em></p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">Let the record show that I had every intention of following my rule and staying away from Grant. When he smiled that irresistible smile and those dimples popped, I stood my ground. When he made it <em>very</em> clear he’d love to pick up where we left off the night we met, I said, <em>Hold it right there, partner.</em> When he messaged me all sorts of naughty things on Instagram, I logged out of that app so fast I dented my iPhone screen.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">Baseball players are <em>bad, bad, bad</em>.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">So tell me why giving in to Grant just for a night, getting <em>one </em>taste of what could be starts to seem not just tempting, but downright <em>mandatory</em>.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">Yeah, about that one simple rule…haven’t you heard?</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Rules are meant to be broken</em>.</p>

He's a walking legend for the Pinstripes ball team. Tate's closest friends are his team mates, but Tate has always told herself that she will never date a baseball player. She's had a front row seat to the shenanigans that players get up to and she wants no part of that angst fest. </p><p>Her room mates are sisters. Sophia (who's back ground story about her and her boyfriend Josh appeared in the first in the series-Three Strikes and You're Mine) and Daphne, who seems to have a strange love/hate relationship with Dustin McDowell, the team's first baseman. They constantly try to get Tate to relax a bit, not work so much, maybe have sex once a decade. </p><p>To get a little peace and quiet, Tate agrees to a dare from the sisters-have a hot one night stand. The perfect opportunity comes up when the gang is invited to a party. It's not long before Tate lays eyes on a gorgeous specimen of a man, who just happens to be checking her out too. A little flirting, a little touchy- feely later and we have one smokin' hot encounter. </p><p>Imagine Tate's shock when she finds out her mystery man from the party is Grant Navarro, the new hotshot player, newly signed to the Pinstripes. When they meet again, Tate pretends they haven't met before. Grant hasn't been able to get the night he met Tate, and was disappointed when he found out who she was and who she is related to-not a good idea for the new guy to get involved with Luke Allen's sister. </p><p>Keeping away from each other is easier said than done, regardless of how determined Tate is, pesky hormones and all that. There's lots of witty, flirty banter and some steamy episodes. But Tate can't let herself get involved with Grant-there are tons of females trying to get his attention and get into his bed. She doesn't need to worry about what her guy would be up to, she doesn't need that kind of jealousy in her life. </p><p>In an effort to stay out of trouble, Tate starts dating a fellow coworker-Michael. He's sweet and polite and safe. Grant is about to jump out of his skin and there are some childish interactions between he and Tate. At times I felt like I was reading a young adult romance. Grow up people!</p><p>Will these two get their acts together or will they just keep wasting time and confusing everyone around them? I am really digging this new series, the guys are down to earth, not former man whores waiting to be redeemed. The women are strong, independent and not airy, fangirls looking to snag a rich guy. I suspect the next one will be about Daphne and Dustin. Theirs is going to be a bumpy ride and I can't wait to grab a ticket for that game!</p><p><br /></p>Three Chickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01688710071274285008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724151247858480554.post-33083901332141005282023-04-11T09:30:00.006-04:002023-04-11T09:31:21.625-04:00Release Blitz for Sawyer Bennett's The Ruin of Gods

<strong>A demigod ready to commit for eternity. A god who isn’t ready to commit at all. An unseen danger that may kill them both. </strong>
For centuries, I’ve traveled the realms, fighting wars, providing peace, causing havoc and everything in between. I’ve also sown my wild oats across those realms, taking pleasure when and where it’s offered. It’s a work hard, play harder lifestyle but I’m just the demigod to do it.
Zora is the god of Life but before that she was a mortal held captive, growing up without love or affection. Raised in the pits of Hell, she was a pawn in a sinister plan to destroy the world. Tossed into the life of an immortal deity, Zora is understandably closed off and confused about who she is and where she fits in. But the one place she fits perfectly is in my bed and the more time I spend with her, the more I’d like to keep her there permanently.
My attempts to win over the ethereal beauty are thwarted when a nefarious plan begins to unfold, leaving Zora missing and me scrambling to solve a mystery no one saw coming. As an immortal, time is of little importance but becomes a precious commodity where saving Zora is concerned.
I’ve lived centuries never knowing true love, but I know one thing with absolute certainty—Zora is what I need to complete my eternal life. Now I need to make sure she lives long enough to realize the same about me.
<em>The Ruin of Gods</em> is a standalone romantic fantasy novel about learning to love—both ourselves and another—within The Chronicles of the Stone Veil series.

I wanted his story from the moment he was introduced. Every story has that happy-go-lucky guy that goes through life partying, drinking, and sexing anything he can and from book one of this series, that seemed to be Maddox’s role. He may have been introduced as kind of shallow, but you know he’s going to be a deep character. He’s that peripheral character that you pray has a book and that you root for during the entire series, and he book didn’t disappoint. There’s just something about a character whose charm, and charisma can jump off the page at you. </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">He’s a powerful demigod who fights hard and holds his own on the battlefield with the best of them; but he also lives by that old, “work hard, play hard”saying.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> H</span>e’s a master at playing hard. When he first encounters Zora after she’s been rescued from the underworld, he’s immediately attracted to her and wants her as his next playmate. But Zora keeps him coming back for more, and more includes a level of feelings/emotions/loyalty that that he’s only ever shown towards his demigod brothers, Carrick and Lucien. With Zora, Maddox finds himself wanting more and wanting to be more with her, but Zora proves to be his biggest obstacle.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Having spent her entire life being held captive and being tortured in the underworld, Zora is rescued by the twin sister she never knew she had, killed, and then made a God as reward for her sacrifices. Zora faces a number of challenges with this new life. She has no idea what actual love is or feels like. Unlike her fellow gods known as The Council, she was once human, which gives her feelings and emotions to deal with that they’ve never had to do. She basically has a conscience, so the harsh, rash, immediate, and unwavering decisions they make on a whim, don’t come so easy for her. </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">While it’s Maddox’s charm that grabs you, with Zora it’s her vulnerability, and lack of confidence that tugs at your heart. She realizes that Maddox wants more from her, but she has no idea how to give it to him. She struggles just as much with sharing herself with her sister, Finlay and the other gods/people in her life. The underworld left her more than a little broken; it left her with a huge emptiness she wants to fill but just doesn’t understand how.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Of course, no true love is gained without major drama, and Maddox and Zora have to fight their way back to each other.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">I feel like the recurring theme in the entire story is vulnerability which touches everyone, even the untouchable Council.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">These characters are written with a chemistry that’s felt immediately, emotions that are relatable, and a vulnerability that’s almost physically painful. I wasn’t expecting to get the self-awareness I got from the two of them, as well as the other characters from previous books.</span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);

It was innocent, but I’d always held a torch for her.<br />After Ryan passed away, I vowed to always protect Lala. That included protecting her—from me.<br />Now all grown up and a scientist, Lala needed a place to stay when she accepted a temporary research position in New York. I thought I did the right thing by offering her an apartment in the building I co-owned with my three friends.<br />Except having her close by reignited all of those old feelings.<br />And things started to get complicated.<br />Especially since she was <i>engaged.</i><br />And especially since, lately, I’d noticed something more in her eyes. <i>Desire.</i><br />Lala didn’t exactly look at me like the platonic brother figure I was trying so desperately to be, even though I wanted her more than I’d ever wanted anything.<br />Yet, I was being good—on my very best behavior.<br />But you know what they say…all good things must come to an end, right?</span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);

We know there is something there, but Holden is a musician who enjoys playing on the stage and off and Lala is a scientist engaged to a colleague. Very different personalities, but united in their shared grief at the death of Lala's brother, Ryan. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Holden has always been attracted to Lala but he was warned years ago by Ryan that Lala is off limits. As tempted as he's been, he's never given in to his feelings. But now Lala needs a place to stay and Holden offers her the empty apartment next to his. Maybe not the best idea for trying not to give in to his impulses. Lala isn't immune by any means, but thinks Warren her fiance, is a safe choice. Lala has her life mapped out in front of her, she's always followed the sensible path and thinks Holden is not the type to settle down. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">But when circumstances keep putting these two together, it's awfully difficult to ignore what they both are feeling. The question is, will those feelings prove to be nothing more than a mistake or is it the real thing? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">The Rules of Dating My Best Friend's Sister had just the right balance of humor and seriousness. There are so many poignant memories these characters have shared with Ryan, Lala's brother. He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten. There just may be a little divine intervention going on in this story.

The last thing he’s looking for is a relationship, but life sometimes takes us in another direction.</span></span></p><p class="p4" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The Pittsburgh Titans are still working to move on from the tragic plane crash that forever changed the landscape of their organization. Having lost my wife, I know all about grief and the guilt of survival which makes me uniquely equipped to take this team to the next level. From the very first time I stepped inside the Titans’ arena, I knew I was exactly where I needed to be.</span></span></p><p class="p4" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">New to town, I’m still establishing my routine, but I have the most important aspect under control—the coffee shop where I stop on my way to the arena every morning. A strong cup of java and the gorgeous manager who I can’t help but chat up is quickly becoming my favorite way to start the day. But no matter how much I enjoy the blush that stains Ava Cavanaugh’s cheeks with my admittedly awkward attempt at flirting, I know it will never be more than brazen banter with a new friend. My job consumes almost all my time, and I know firsthand what that level of commitment can do to a relationship.</span></span></p><p class="p4" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">That doesn’t mean I’m not open to some fun. My career comes first, but Ava understands my boundaries. The only problem is that once I give into her temptation, the rules I set for myself become blurred, and my mixed signals hurt Ava—the one thing I promised I wouldn’t do. I’ve put myself in what seems to be an untenable situation, but I’ve faced those before. Now I need to find the strength to move past my fears, or risk losing my second chance at love with the woman who has stolen my heart.</span></span></p><p class="p4" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">All books in the Pittsburgh Titans series can be read as standalones.

With all of this, there’s no room in his current world for long term relationships, but he can most certainly make room for Ms. Ava Cavanaugh, the sexy manager/barista at his neighborhood coffee shop.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Cannon West was nothing I expected him to be! Throughout the last few Titan books, he’s been mentioned quite often, and the main thing associated with him was the fact that he was a widower and how he cared for his dying wife. Naturally, I assumed the ghost of his wife would be ever present during this story and she’d inadvertently become a third main character. </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I was curious to read his story, but if I’m being honest, he wasn’t at the top of my list to be devoured. I don’t think I’ve ever misjudged a character this badly before. From the minute he’s introduced I know I might be slightly off about my assessment. When he interacts with Ava, oh, I KNOW I’m off; and as time goes on, I know I’m WAY OFF.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Cannon is far from the grieving widower I thought he was going to be, and it was a refreshing change from what the typical storylines give us for widowers. In these instances, it’s a withdrawn, sullen, heartbroken man; or men who are screwing anything walking to drown to drown out the grief. Cannon was neither of these, kudos to Sawyer for switching things up. Cannon married his high school sweetheart, and it’s been ten years since her death. </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;">During this time, he’s remained active in hockey and has moved on with his life. The only thing that hangs over him is how he always made hockey his number one priority, and not his relationship. With everything he has going on, he can promise exclusivity for the time he’s with anyone, but he cannot and will not promise forever. When Ava explains that she may or may not stay in Pittsburgh, this is the perfect set up for him.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The chemistry between Cannon and Ava jumps off the page from the minute Cannon hits her with what he thinks is awkward flirting, which is anything but awkward. And then he totally shocks me he shoots for the stars and declares they will be going out:</span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">“What’s your last name?” That startles her, and she cuts me a side eye before answering, “Cavanaugh,” I pull out my phone, navigate to Contacts, and start a new one. “Ava Cavanaugh, And your phone number?” Those eyes lift to meet mind, her head tipped slightly. “Really?”<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>“Yes, really.

They get each other. When they are together in any capacity they just clicked. Their conversations flowed, their banter is easy, their comfort level is so relaxed. Their relationship is so comfortable that they both very easily fall into a routine and the very commitment neither thought they wanted or needed.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Their companionable chemistry was one thing, but the sexual chemistry between these two was off the charts.

With the words he used, he gave Ava a full sexual experience without even touching her at times.

Cannon is no different. While most of his is shown through what he does for Ava and how he tries to help her it was obvious when his feelings for her started to venture to where he didn’t want them to go.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Cannon also possessed huge compassion; this was most obvious in his relationship with his former mother-in-law.

When they first really got to know each other, they were both staying at the home their parents had just purchased together in Maine. Archie didn't have much time for Noelle and as much as she secretly crushed on him, she wasn't crazy about his personality. But circumstances allowed them to get to know each other and to become close. And for a time one summer, they crossed that line and became more than friends. </p><p>But things came to an abrupt end and they went back to the friend zone. Years passed, relationships came and went, some serious some not and then came the widening of the gap between them that forever changed their lives. I don't want to post any spoilers but suffice it to say that Noelle was forced to move on and to find someone she might be able to call her forever love. </p><p>Archie and Noelle have the worst timing, they just never seem to be able to get on the same page at the same time. But at a strange point in their relationship, Noelle has a proposal for Archie. One he surprisingly takes her up on and things are going to change again. For the first time in a long time, they are both in the same place ready to take a chance on each other. Archie may have wanted Noelle for most of his adult life, but his fears that he isn't what she needs always seems to get in the way. Is he going to sabotage things again? </p><p>Toe the Line has lots of heat and great dialogue. The thing that held me back from loving it is the angst. So much angst, so many missed opportunities. Sometimes all that drama can exhaust you and you just want a sweet romance with a few bumps. As much as I enjoyed this story, I wish there had been less pain and more fun. </p><p><br /></p>Three Chickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01688710071274285008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724151247858480554.post-7459014572142326032023-02-22T17:05:00.003-05:002023-02-23T09:13:21.013-05:00Release Blitz for RS Grey's Three Strikes and You're Mine

<h2><b>About </b><b><i>Three Strikes And You're Mine</i></b><b>: </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Dear Past Me,</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Future You here, coming to offer a little advice: hang on for
dear life. This summer is going to be a wild one. I know what you’re thinking: </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Life’s going so well! I don’t have a care in the world!</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Wrong. That culinary career you love so much? It’s about to go up in
smoke, and your boyfriend? </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yeah</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">…he’s a goner too. If only love were as simple as, say,
</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">actually adding yourself to the lease
agreement</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> so you don’t suddenly find yourself
loveless, jobless, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">and</span></i><span style="fontweight: 400;"> homeless! </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Did your five-year plan include moving back in with your family
and sharing a bed with your Nonna? </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">No?</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Well, hate to break it to you…it’s exactly
as traumatizing as it sounds. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Have you had enough? Too bad. Buckle up—it gets worse.
Your new boss is a professional baseball player, and he’s hot, like </span><i><span style="fontweight: 400;">really hot</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, but you’ll pretend not to
notice because he’s a single dad and it feels wrong to ogle him in front of his innocent child.
Unfortunately, he thinks you’re sexy as hell too. Unrequited love is one thing; mutual off-limits
pining destined to explode in the worst of ways? What could go wrong…</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">wrong</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">…</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">wrong</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">… (That’s me
fading out because you have to take it from here, kid. Good luck! Don’t screw this up for
me.)</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Sincerely,</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Your future (wiser) self</span> <h1 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://bit.ly/ThreeStrikesRSGrey"><b>Get Your Copy

I most enjoy her rom/com's and Three Strikes might just be one of her best. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Luke Allen has just retired from being the pitcher for the New York Pinstripes. As much as he loves the game, he's a single dad with a precocious, adorable little girl named Harper. He feels she needs to come first and after filling her life with nannies, it's about time he made his life about her. Her mom, a good friend of Luke's died when Harper was two. They never married, but he valued her friendship and misses her in his life. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Chloe Ricci is a pastry chef at the Fig & Olive restaurant, owned by her boyfriend and renowned chef, Miles Wilson and a good one at that. Her boyfriend is a bit aloof (come on, he's a real douche canoe) but Chloe is a little bit of a push over and she's not one to make demands. After both have finished working a long shift, he tells her he has some things to finish up. Mind you, it's late at night, it's New York and he can't be bothered to make sure she gets to home okay. But she forgets her keys, comes back to the kitchen and sees him "cooking up" a little mischief with Chloe's good friend. Talk about stirring the pot. So Chloe leaves her job, and the apartment she shared with Miles and is out in the cold. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Chloe's big Italian family are more than happy to have her move back home, but she'd have to share a room with her Nonna. She's going to pass and find a job where she can support herself. A relative comes through and she finds herself working as a caretaker for an estate in Bridgehampton. Her first night there, the owner, Luke Allen surprises her from a dead sleep. Turns out his plans to go to Colorado are derailed and he's spending the summer here. No need for a caretaker. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Chloe convinces Luke she can do what she does best-cook up delicious meals for Luke and Harper and do odd things around the house. These two have chemistry but Chloe just got out of a messy relationship with her boss and she isn't going to lose another job because she thinks her boss is hot. Let's see how avoiding getting involved with Luke is going to work out. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Luke and Chloe are funny and caring and genuinely good people. Their dialogue is funny as are their inner thoughts, both intent on keeping things strictly business. Um hmmm...</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Three Strikes story flies by and was over before I knew it. My only wish is that it had just a little bit more angst. I do love a bumpy ride and love to earn my happy ending. </span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Three Chickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01688710071274285008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724151247858480554.post-40870535088817008752023-02-18T18:05:00.000-05:002023-02-20T09:14:56.010-05:00Cover Reveal for Whitney G's Pretend It's Real, For Me<p><br /></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);

She spends her days writing algorithms and it completes her. By her own admission she's a bit of a genius with numbers, but people-well not so much. She lives in the same run down apartment above a fruit market that she's lived in for years. She doesn't own a car, she takes the bus everywhere. (I was a little surprised that given she has a very specialized skill, she isn't making a lot more money for doing what many companies would be willing to pay employees beaucoup bucks to do) </p><p>Her life changes drastically when she finds out that she has been left a football team as an inheritance from a man she has never heard of or met before. But the will is ironclad, to the chagrin of his two other daughters. They make sure to let Bella know she will never be accepted or welcomed. </p><p>On her first day at the team's headquarters, one of her evil sisters pranks her into believing the guy walking around with numerous pizza boxes is a perv. That's not quite true-he's the team's golden boy, Christian Knox. Their initial meeting is awkward and embarrassing. But Christian is intrigued by this ginger cutie and he's determined to have some fun pursuing her. </p><p>Bella is down to earth, wants only what she's earned and has no sense of entitlement. She just can't figure out why this man, believed to be her father would leave her so much. When her mother died, she was in her teens and was shuffled into the foster care system. He never sought her out, and had to know she was literally an underage orphan on her own. She quickly learned she could not depend on anyone else in her life. She never quite got over that belief. Bella believes she can find a man who is her match based on mathematical analytics and not her emotions. </p><p>Christian Knox knows a good thing when he sees it, and despite the fact that technically Bella is his boss, he's not going to let that pesky little fact stand in his way. This is a good guy; has he had his and probably lots of other men's share of women-yeah, but he never promises what he he isn't willing to commit and he's honest. But will that be enough to change Bella's way of finding a mate? </p><p>This is a Vi Keeland story so expect some angst and disruption to their paradise. Bumps in the road are mandatory for Vi's works and The Game is no exception, but it's well written, the characters are adorable and quirky, the story is page turning and it's one not to be missed! </p>Three Chickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01688710071274285008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724151247858480554.post-91692438411373043942023-01-03T07:53:00.001-05:002023-01-03T07:53:56.689-05:00Release Blitz for Sawyer Bennett's Drake (Pittsburgh Titans #5)

Will the Titans be his chance to clear his name and take back the career he once loved?</strong>
After I made the decision to divorce, my ex-wife set out on a smear campaign against me, telling anyone who would listen that I was betting on hockey and throwing games. It wasn’t surprising that my ex told the lies, but the fact that the media, league, and fans chose to believe her baseless claims was unforgivable. I walked away from it all and never looked back.
Having settled into life as a single dad to three boys, I’m content. I have more money than I could ever need, and plenty of time to do whatever I want, whenever I want, and whoever I want. So when Brienne Norcross, the team owner for the Pittsburgh Titans, shows up at my house with a job offer, I have no problem turning her down. But the no-nonsense billionaire, with sinfully seductive red lips and killer heels that would look hot as hell thrown over my shoulders, won’t take “no” for an answer.
Now I need to find balance between hockey, my boys, and the explosive chemistry Brienne and I can no longer deny. A cast-off hockey player and the league’s only female team owner? I can think of a million reasons why it could never work but can’t bring myself to care about a single one of them. Game on.

From the minute we first met him and Breanne in Stone’s book I prayed they would have a storyline together and it would be hot. This did not disappoint. It was indeed hot, as well as passionate and gave a few giggles. Neither bites their tongue, neither is afraid/embarrassed to share their feelings. They are unapologetically who they are and, they are equally matched in their physical attraction to each other, and what they don’t want. Breanne Norcross and Drake McGuinn don’t just sizzle, the freaking burn and explode. This meeting has been a long time coming….<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">“Are you flirting with me, Drake? Because it would be considered improper.” I shake my head and lean toward her. Dropping my tone, I give her the honest truth. “I don’t flirt. I fu*k, and that’s it.” Brienne gasps, not in horror or shock, but more like a tiny exhale of lust as her cobalt eyes darken. I take advantage of the shock. “Boy toys flirt. That’s not me.” “And why do I need to know the difference?” she asks. I’m pleased her voice is huskier than usual. My lips curve in a wicked grin. “In case you want proof of what I’m saying.” I watch in fascination as her eyes go from sizzling in contemplation to icing back over to the multibillionaire owner of an empire. “Not interested.” Her tone is bland… disinterested as she glances over her guests. “Oh, you’re interested,” I say knowingly, and her eyes fly back to me.</span></b></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Drake McGuinn is done with the hockey world. His wife’s drug addiction tore his family and marriage apart, and when she falsely accuses him of places illegal bets against his team the league seemed perfectly content to believe her lies. Drakes main concern is raising his three boys and ensuring their lives are as normal as possible. When Breanne Norcross first approached him about returning to help rebuild the Pittsburgh Titans, her entertained her until she pissed him off, but Breanne won’t be dismissed so easily.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Drake is rude, crude, dirty talking, sex on a stick:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><b><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">“Trust me… no pus*y is ever going to make things right with me for what the league did.

There has always been a level of vulnerability with them, but lately it seems to be at the forefront of their personalities/characteristics.

As she struggled to rebuild the Titan’s she had a few missteps, one being her first interaction with Drake McGuinn. From the moment he stormed out of her office she’s been determined to get him back</span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">What I liked about Breanne was her assertiveness. When the time came, she let Drake know she was attracted to him, but she didn’t let him call the shots completely. Breanne gave him a run for his money in the emotions department. She wasn’t clingy and needy. She called the shots quite often and she scheduled the “booty calls” and “hook ups”. Something else that really resonated with me about Breanne is her sexuality. While it’s not unlike authors to write their female leads as women who embrace their sexuality, they don’t usually have them openly dating another man. Those men are mentioned but nothing major. With Breanne, she actually has a “boy toy” that she interacts with. While she may not actually have sex with him, he’s there and you know the purpose he serves to her.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><b><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">Best way to scrub Drake McGinn from my mind is to have Clay distract me in bed. Of course, it’s a crapshoot since fifty percent of the time I’m free, he’s not, and vice versa. I’m surprised when I get a quick text back. Absolutely. Eight p.m.?

She’s hardly had a chance to truly grieve the loss of her best friend pretty much on her own. She puts on a brave face and other than a support group she started, she basically grieves alone. During their stolen moments and nights together, Drake and Breanne learn a lot about each other.

Although she has developed something of a friendship over time with Jenna, she’s never had actual girlfriends. So, when Jenna introduces her to other wives on the team, she begins to get a real feel for friendship. Drake is initially and understandably hesitant about getting close to the guys on the team, but he soon realizes he has a good group and they’ve had back even when he didn’t know it.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><b><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">The players never turned on me, and those who were my friends stayed true.

We’re really connected via phone and social media because we’re scattered all over, but we have a monthly Zoom call to check in on one another.

The realm is in relative peace at the moment, my main focus now on deciding the fate of recently departed souls. It’s a tediously boring task, and honestly, one I despise doing.

She made her choices and even at the prospect of eternal damnation, she doesn’t seem to regret the actions that led her here. I can tell by her utter defiance that life has hardened her, a trait that has carried over to her in death. She should be begging me for mercy but instead calls me a “big old winged bat”. I should toss her right into The Crimson River for her insolence but instead I think I’ll keep her in servitude.</span></p><p class="p6" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p><p class="p7" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">While I struggle to reconcile the intrigue—and attraction—I have for this human, I am forced to spend my days investigating rumors of an uprising in the Underworld. Unfortunately, my desire to keep Nyssa has provided a weak spot for the rebellious Dark Fae looking to gain control, one they’re quick to act on. Now, with Nyssa in danger and my throne threatened, I will stop at nothing to restore order, even if it means letting her go.</span></p><p class="p6" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Times New Roman";

At this point Amell is in the midst of reorganizing The Underworld and has been banished there, not allowed to visit Earth Realm due to his prohibited interference with Thalia’s battle for Vyronas. Amell has determined The Underworld needs a makeover and it’s not going to resemble anything of Kymaris’ Underworld. In the new Underworld, there is a sense of peace…well as much peace as there can be in Hell. As he adjusts to this new position and life Amell encounters a soul sent to him like nothing he’s ever experienced. Enter Nyssa McKnight. She’s a sassy spitfire that while shaking underneath, stands up to Amell. While many of the souls sent to him beg for forgiveness and second chances, Nyssa accepts her fate and does show remorse for the life she’s led or the sins she committed…especially the final sin she committed. Nyssa is quite entertaining at times when she deals with Amell.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Such is the case during their first encounter when she’s mouths off to not just his subjects but to him as well.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><b><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">This is it. He doesn’t even need to hear my crimes. He’s going to dump me in. I hiss at him. “Go ahead and do it, you big old, winged bat. You don’t scare me.” I look around wild-eyed at this place called and scream, “None of you care about me.”<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></i></b></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I was totally not expecting Nyssa’s response and completely laughed out loud. At this point Amell himself is discovering that Nyssa isn’t the typical doomed soul, and he decides to keep her around to try and figure her out.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>What he also figures out is that Nyssa intrigues him on many levels.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Nyssa has led anything but a charmed, carefree life. She’s struggled and fought the entire time doing whatever she needed to do to survive, so it’s no surprise to her when she ends up in Hell and lands at the feet of its King. What she won’t do is beg him for anything, but she does have to learn to live with this never-ending time in Hell.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Of course, Amell becomes completely attached with Nyssa and the two end up in a “relationship” which is not surprising, but what is very surprising or enjoyable is the personalities of these two characters. They were both unapologetically who they were, and for the most part didn’t change throughout the story. They both had vulnerabilities that they didn’t necessarily display to each other but didn’t attempt to hide them once there were known. Nyssa remained Nyssa the entire time. The edges that seemed to have smoothed themselves out were always soft, just not visible to everyone.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">As for Amell, he accepted his position because he was appointed by Zora and his feelings for her, but it’s not something he ever wanted. I feel like he definitely struggled quite a bit with what was expected of him as the king of the underworld, and what he wanted to be as the king. While he moves forward with changes that are meant to keep the Underworld as a “dark place” as it should be, his way of ruling is not appreciated by everyone, there are those who want nothing more than to see Kymaris’ dream of taking over the earth realm and he has to establish his supporters from his enemies.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Amell never attempted to hide his love for his daughter, Thalia, and how it hurt him not being able to see her the way he wanted or as often as he wanted. He had a very intimate nature. With Nyssa, it wasn’t just about getting her in his bed, but also getting to know her. Although he knew everything there was to know about what landed her where she was, he opted to let her tell him, He allowed her to become comfortable enough with him to open up about her past life.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b><i>“Relax.” he adds.

<h2><b>About </b><b><i>Forbidden French</i></b><b>: </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Once upon a time, Emmett Mercier was the golden boy of St. John’s Boarding School. The crown prince of his father’s vast business empire, unapologetically attractive…oh, and fluent in French.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">At school, I kept a picture of him hidden beneath my pillow, a tiny token of my adolescent infatuation, but I might as well have been worshiping a distant demigod. He was hardly aware of my existence. I was far too young, and he was far too consequential—until one day we found ourselves alone together in the dark library and struck up a friendship…of sorts.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">But in the years since leaving St. John’s, I’ve no longer bothered yearning for Emmett. What a useless dream. I would have gone crazy trying to keep up with his jet-setting life. Which Parisian hotel is he calling home now? Is there some new lithe model draping herself across his lap today?</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">My negligence comes back to bite me. I’m ill-prepared the day he strides into my art gallery. There’s only a mere trace of the boy I once knew. Self-assured, handsome, intoxicating—Emmett is more man than I can handle.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">There’s no room for him in my gilded cage. My life is planned to a T. From where I go to how I dress, it all depends on the calculated whims of my grandmother. Soon, I’ll even dutifully walk down the aisle toward a man of her choosing.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Emmett can’t stand my obedience. Now that we’ve rekindled our friendship, he’s intent on unearthing my heart’s true motives.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">And therein lies the problem: I was doing just fine without him, but now that he’s rattling the bars of my cage, I’m forced to acknowledge the truth.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Once upon a time, Emmett Mercier was all I wanted. The midnight wanderings, the whispered nothings, the unbearable longing—they etched indelible marks on my soul. Even now, after all these years, my heart is only fluent in one language.</span>

Usually her writings are light and funny with fantastic wit. This story told over a number of years had beautiful writing but it wasn't as light and had some deep emotions that hurt one's soul.</p><p>Lainey knew of Emmett from attending the same boarding school. He was a few years older than her, way more sophisticated and was the guy every girl wanted. His family are the richest of the rich, having made their fortune in the fashion industry. Emmett's parents are unhappily divorced-his mother never got over his father, while his father wasted no time in replacing her with a younger model. His family is French and one gets the feeling he was just born sophisticated and suave. </p><p>Lainey is gawky and terribly shy. She is the butt of the school's mean girls all the while she had a burning crush on Emmett. They have a few conversations, some interactions in the library. Emmett is about to graduate and while he has no lusty feelings for Lainey (there is the age difference) she has left a lasting impression on him. </p><p>Fast forward quite and few years and they are back in each other's spheres. Lainey has somewhat found herself. She was raised by an overbearing grandmother. Her life has always bene one of privilege but she has wanted to make her own mark, her own way. There are expectations from both Emmett and Lainey's families and those complicate the couple's lives. </p><p>I have to say that I liked how Emmett's feelings for Lainey have affected his persona-he who has always been self assured is a mass of emotions and doubts when it comes to her. That's a twist I can get behind. Lainey has molded into a woman who knows her own worth and one who is willing to lose what she most desires if she is not cherished for the wonderful creature that she has become. </p><p>I like this more serious side to the author's writings. I enjoy a good rom/com, but this one was very well written. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p></div>Three Chickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01688710071274285008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724151247858480554.post-68226375421955218202022-11-01T19:58:00.002-04:002022-11-01T20:02:28.513-04:00Release Blitz: Ruined Kingdom by Natasha Knight<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho58mjyIQI6bMijUOA3Lbo5MIC8pLZWLab5ojmRLrlZBDR6ZFAqd4Lwq68Mp5zAIovcf3FI9yzQXinGxzFWhmt4HeBd_h3E9lL5iKTCQ6oAgL0FowG5FpsNDMf3EJi53voTC0sV1cUz_8pz-r2JCZz76Ia3yXo8OpvAzXaHRFvMhcAWB2KkFEMSG6DPw/s1702/Ruined%20Kingdom%20RB%20Banner.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="630" data-original-width="1702" height="148" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho58mjyIQI6bMijUOA3Lbo5MIC8pLZWLab5ojmRLrlZBDR6ZFAqd4Lwq68Mp5zAIovcf3FI9yzQXinGxzFWhmt4HeBd_h3E9lL5iKTCQ6oAgL0FowG5FpsNDMf3EJi53voTC0sV1cUz_8pz-r2JCZz76Ia3yXo8OpvAzXaHRFvMhcAWB2KkFEMSG6DPw/w400-h148/Ruined%20Kingdom%20RB%20Banner.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg55oKAvcZoKvdaUCS4LZv89IE4e1o1b4pHGOHwD9JfyVXv7OtIBDDiamIGQqKZG8OlSF9UwBnqa16B1WmdLu17CLYBwBb3YMdGOiOBWJ869b8ItIGBzmdoaLDIsui61-OdrUBPJA6HdhuOF48ziVYk6C1n3xvkMwfBYdK2qNscVemJc3O_j2vsJHaGaw/s2700/Ruined%20Kingdom%20Ebook%20Cover.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2700" data-original-width="1800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg55oKAvcZoKvdaUCS4LZv89IE4e1o1b4pHGOHwD9JfyVXv7OtIBDDiamIGQqKZG8OlSF9UwBnqa16B1WmdLu17CLYBwBb3YMdGOiOBWJ869b8ItIGBzmdoaLDIsui61-OdrUBPJA6HdhuOF48ziVYk6C1n3xvkMwfBYdK2qNscVemJc3O_j2vsJHaGaw/w426-h640/Ruined%20Kingdom%20Ebook%20Cover.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>

I have read many of her books and I have loved every one of them. I know to expect a dark romance, but with each book there's still that shocking twist, the darkness then to a new level. The element of surprise is always there. And not matter what I am always left questioning my sanity. This book is no different. Well actually I take that back, because it is very different. I'll explain why in a minute. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Amadeo and Bastian are brothers who for the past 15 years have been planning their revenge on the Russo family. When the head of the Russo family dies, they put their plan into motion. They show up at his funeral and kidnap his daughter, Vittoria. They have plans for her. to them she is a means to an end. They pawn in this vicious game they are playing. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Vittoria has no idea what they want with her or who they even are. She vaguely remembers that night so long ago. Now she is being held captive but two brothers who want revenge. the only concern of hers is her little sister. She wants to make sure that she is safe. And in order to do that she must obey the brothers. But she is a fighter and taking orders from Bastian and Amadeo is not easy. It is not in her nature to just sit back and take the abuse that they throw her way. She will fight tooth and nail, but she also knows that in the end she will give in. She has no choice. She knows that they need her right now, but what happens when they get what they want? What happens then? Oh, I wish I knew.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I love Ms. Knight's books because of how well she writes a dark romance. There are many times when she completely tests my limits with how dark it is. They are never so over the top where I need to step away or put the book down, but yes there are moments that are darker than others. For me I think Ruined Kingdom wasn't as dark as I had expected but with that being said, Ms. Knight took this to a different level. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Bastian and Amadeo both want revenge. So, what that means is that Vittoria belongs to the both of them, in every way. All I have to say is Bravo Ms. Knight!! Because Oh My God, this book is scorching hot. These two brothers had Vittoria squirming, hating herself for even reacting to them. And I could totally understand why. They both want the same thing but their ways of going about it are so different. They are different in many ways but also the same. I cannot wait to see how this all plays out. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Once again we are left with a jaw dropping cliffhanger. I am sensing that the second book may go in a darker direction than the first and I am all for it. Because that ending! Wow!! Ruined Kingdom is everything that I love in a Natasha Knight book. I loved the dynamic between the three of them. I loved the intense and raw scenes, and we cannot forget those scene that will make you blush!! Well done!! I will patiently waiting for the conclusion, because I myself have no idea where this will go!!<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span><div><br /></div><div><br /><div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62684315-ruined-kingdom" target="_blank"><span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #f6cf46; font-family: arial;"><b>ADD TO GOODREADS</b></span></span></span></a></div>

That’s what Coen Highsmith has been referred as since he was one of the three members of the Pittsburgh Titans who did not perish in the horrific plane crash that took his entire hockey team; but “lucky” is that last thing he feels. Not only is he dealing with Survivor’s Guilt, but he’s dealing of the guilt of leaving something unresolved with someone who was on that flight. He’s had several high profiled incidents that weren’t so positive. He’s been in multiple physical altercations. He’s pushed away anyone who tries to help him or shows concern for him. At this point he’s more or less hit rock bottom and has been suspended from The Titans. In his mind, he’s done with the team and with hockey in general. To his dismay, the team’s owner, Brienne Norcross, and a few self-proclaimed friends from the team won’t let him just quit.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>They’ve suggested he use his down time to get himself together.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">When his teammate Stone offers him his cabin to get away and regroup, he finally takes him up on his offer. He enjoys this seclusion so much he buys the cabin. At the time he didn’t realize along with the cabin, he’d inherit a pain in the ass neighbor hell bent on cutting down the trees that borders both of their properties. Tilden Marshall is stubborn, mouthy and sexy as hell.

He has been a true asshole in the previous three books, so I had this feeling that he was dealing with something so deep that my heart was going to be ripped out. But he turned out to be nothing like I thought he would, his story was nothing like I thought it would be, and I was pleasantly surprised!<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>The guy is a walking contradiction. While he does have some issues that he needs to work through, and can be blunt and harsh, he’s a very likeable guy. As a matter of fact, he’s quite…. dare I say…. charming.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>The Coen before the accident was a nice guy, a fun guy, the life of the party guy, and this is the guy who shows up during this book, okay not so much the life of the party guy…but the nice, fun guy.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The first glimpse of this humor appears when he and Tildie have their first argument about her wanting to cut down the trees around his sanctuary.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b><i>The man is overly dramatic as he waves his hands. “I’m a goddam naturalist.

Coen’s journey is learning to forgive himself for something he had no control over. Even though he finally confides in Tillie what drives his drastic personality change after the accident, for me it wasn’t her convincing him that he had nothing to feel guilty about, but her helping him bring out the person deep down inside that was capable of more than what he thought he was even before the crash. He faced the issues he had with him family, his feelings of not being important in anyone’s life, not being capable of being who he truly is.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">These characters were fun. Their banter was fun. Their attraction was instant, and the chemistry was crazy. Coen wasn’t the grump I thought he was going to be. He was intuitive, compassionate, and he was so matter of fact that I couldn’t help but to laugh at his delivery in his conversations. They almost always had me giggling.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><b><i><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">“So, not fu*k buddies, but like... fu*k neighbors?” I ask, because that sounds ridiculous.

This woman was not afraid to speak her mind around Coen. She may have been thrown for a loop by her attraction to him, and struggling to understand why he’s attracted to her, but she doesn’t hold back when it comes to telling him about himself. Even when she learns that he’s a famous hockey player, she’s not about stroking his ego. When he’s being an ass, she calls him out.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><b><i><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">“Are you okay?” He blinks in surprise. “Yeah, why?” “Because you’re quiet and brooding and acting weird. I feel like if I say the wrong thing, you might explode.” It’s not a good sign that Coen’s jaw sets into a hard line. “If I make you uncomfortable, you don’t have to stay.” And that’s all he needs to say for me to judge the situation. “I’m out of here.” I put my beer on the handrail and head for the back door, going in to grab my purse, my keys and my dignity. I don’t need this shit. I don’t even make it a few feet before he’s up and out of the chair, stepping right into my path. His expression is thunderous. ‘You’re just going to leave…like that?” Ordinarily, I world laugh at someone who would say something so ridiculous. “you told me to leave if I was uncomfortable. I’m distinctly uncomfortable.” “Well, then fu*k you and your tender sensibilities,” he snarls. “No, fu*k you,” I snarl right back at him as I barrel past.</span></i></b></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">What I loved about their battles, he could get really snarky with her, and she’d basically give him the finger, exit stage left, and <i>he’d</i> be the one running after her! Also, as much as he wanted to keep it physical, it was him who was beating down the emotional connection the most. His level of compassion was a pleasant surprise.

He’s the stranger who saved her from a possible attack that she seems to have an instant connection with, which is strange because the only person she’s ever had anything close to a connection or had an attachment with is her grandmother.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Not quite a rolling stone, but more like a petal on the wind, Summer moved from place to place following the best opportunities; the opportunities to make the money needed to take care of her grandmother. Landing in a small coastal town in Mississippi, Summer finds herself feeling strangely settled. It is here where she meets single dad, Ben and his daughter, Grace and where an epic love is born. With Ben being from one of, if not the most affluent families in the state, it’s a love that Summer and Ben must fight to keep.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I can’t say that I believe in love at first sight, but I do believe in instant connections that can have two people falling unusually quickly for each other; and this is exactly what happens with Summer and Ben. It’s rare that I find a book that checks all of the boxes, that’s exactly what More With You does. It gives compassion, empathy, humor, and all the feels. This is not your typical “romance” book, which is why I’m choosing to not call it a romance but a love story.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The story is told primarily from Summer’s POV with a few entries from Ben. While Summer realizes how quickly she and Ben develop feelings for each other and is hesitant, Ben is all in. The immediate connection does freak Summer out a little because she’s never had feelings like this for anyone factor in Ben’s daughter Grace, and she’s completely out of her element. Especially having not been cared for by her own parents; she’s not even sure if she has any maternal instincts. Even with her doubt; Summer, Ben, and Grace forge ahead. Of course, they are met with obstacles while building on their relationship from Ben’s family, as well as an old childhood friend turned complete douche.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The pace of the story was very good. The dialogue between all of the characters was excellent, and the deep detail of the town gave me such a vivid picture of every scene. The chemistry between Summer and Ben was pretty unmatched by pretty much any other couples I’ve read. The supporting characters were also amazing. I simply adored Mrs. Thibodeaux aka Ms. T. She was Summer’s very own Jiminy Cricket. She was sassy, funny, and loving. Even the crappy characters, Ben’s parents and family friend Levi were very well rounded. This could all be because Summer’s story was based on the author’s life (with some embellishments).<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I knew going into this book it was going to hit me in the feels, but by no means did I think it would bring out the emotion it did. If you pay close enough attention, you can kind of figure out where the story is going, but I’m willing to be you will underestimate how hard it hits you in the gut and/or heart.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">This is Erin Spencer’s first solo project. If you are an audio book fan, you’re probably familiar with her works as she’s narrated hundreds of books as Ava Erickson. If reading this book gutted me, I can only imagine what hearing her bring her own book to life will do to me.</span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><b><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">When I think of tomorrow, when I think of next week, when I think of Christmas, when I think of this time next year and the years beyond that, you’re in every image.

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">It all started when I hosted a little party for a bunch of new friends.</span></span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Though “friends” might not be the right word since the invitees were all the women I’d found out my boyfriend was talking to behind my back. When the guest of honor walked in—<i>aka my now ex</i>—things took a turn…</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately, a stranger witnessed the whole blowout. I was in a mood that night and ended up giving this gorgeous guy an attitude, too. As if my night could get any worse, before he stormed off, he informed me he was actually <i>my landlord</i>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Colby Lennon, along with three of his friends, owned the building where my tattoo shop was located. He and I were total opposites. He wore a tie, oozed confidence that came with years of women falling at his feet, and wasn’t afraid to say what he wanted, which lately—<i>was me</i>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I hated that I found myself attracted to him. Especially since I was supposed to be on a self-imposed dating hiatus. Yet the two of us couldn’t seem to stay away from each other. We started hanging out, as friends. I even went as far as making rules for what he’d dubbed our “undates.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But eventually, our explosive attraction became too much to bear, and we broke our resolve. I let my guard down and started to really fall for Colby.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nothing could have prepared me for the ride he took me on. And I certainly wasn't prepared for where I'd wind up when the ride was over.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">All good things must come to an end, right?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Except our ending was one I didn't see coming.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;">

text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;">Billie is a talented tattoo artist who's discovered her boyfriend has been spending way too much time on Tinder. So she devises a plan to invite all the women he's been corresponding with and have them show up at her shop. Just a little special birthday for her cheater boyfriend. What goes down gets a little heated and Billie doesn't hold back. She has a bit of a meltdown in front of a customer. He seems to be enjoying the show but when he gets up to leave he lets it slip that he's Colby Lennon, her landlord. Oh lordy...</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;">The two meet again on calmer terms and find they have chemistry. It doesn't hurt that Colby is a single day to the most precious little girl Saylor. She charms Billie as much as her dad does- Billie is more than a little intrigued. But their burn is slow and steady and they form a close friendship before crossing any lines.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1e1915; font-family: "Proxima Nova", Montserrat, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;">Now this is a Keeland/Ward story so you know there is going to be some major heart dropping conflict that will cause the bump bumps in your stomach. But keep reading because the dark clouds have to pass for us to get our rainbows. This is the first in a series of connected stories that can be read as stand alones.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
