BLURB

Born to a man of faith who let his vision for the future twist his mind,
I learned to stay in the shadows, collecting the kids that ended up in this godforsaken place with me.
They’re the lost ones, and I’m their Wendy.
The forgotten one, the dud, the failure.
My only use now is as a future breeder to the cause.
But they’ve taken enough, and I’ll be damned if I let them take more.
When the chance of escape is dangled before me like a carrot on a stick, I take it.
I run with my lost ones toward a new life where the kids can be kids, and I can be free.
But freedom is an illusion when you belong to another, and your nightmares are ready to hunt you down and drag you back to hell.
What do you do when you can’t run anymore and have nowhere to hide?
You turn back.
You fight back.
And slay your monsters before they get you first.
Forgive me, Father, for I’m about to sin…

Authors note: The Lethal Touch is the final book in the Apex tactical series. It is a ménage romance intended for 18+ readers.

Trigger warning: As with most of my books, The Lethal Touch contains some scenes that readers may find upsetting, so please proceed with caution.

I’m a man who people don’t want to meet. The wheelman you don’t take home to Mamma, unless you need someone, exactly like me.

RELEASE BLITZ – The Copper Valley Fireballs ~ The Complete Series by Pippa Grant

May 30

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: The Copper Valley Fireballs
The Complete Series

Author: Pippa Grant

Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: May 30, 2024

BLURB

Meet the Copper Valley Fireballs, baseball’s lovable losers whose hot heroes are determined to turn this team around and resisting finding love along the way!

This box set includes four full-length romantic comedies and a bonus novella.

About the books:

Jock Blocked is a home run of a feel-good romantic comedy featuring the world’s most superstitious sports fan, baseball’s oldest virgin hero, a rogue meatball, an adorable puppy with a cussing problem, and a happily ever after more satisfying than a game-winning grand slam.

Real Fake Love is a line drive straight to the heart featuring a grumpy athlete, a jilted bride, a fake relationship, and the world’s laziest cat. It stands alone and comes complete with sibling rivalry, the world’s most awkward shower scene, and a sweetly satisfying happily ever after.

The Grumpy Player Next Door is a fun-filled enemies-to-lovers romcom featuring a ray of sunshine on a mission, an athlete who’s only grouchy around her, and an epic prank gone wrong. It stands alone and comes complete with small-town shenanigans, a goat who’s not nearly as wise as his name suggests, and proof that sometimes, love is the best kind of vengeance.

Irresistible Trouble is a hilarious grand slam of a romcom about a baseball player whose ego is catching up to him, a pop star who’s a bit of a hot mess when the cameras aren’t looking (and sometimes when they are), and the kind of family and teammates that everyone deserves… in small doses.

Have Yourself a Grumpy Little Christmas is a hit of holiday sweetness featuring a grumpy retired baseball pitcher who hates the holidays, his best friend’s little sister, and a Christmas tree mishap.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

Jock Blocked

OH MY BASEBALL GODS…… I love Pippa Grant and I adored MacKenzie & Brooks, they were both a little dorky in their own way, had big hearts, loved their families and had baseball in common – though Mac was just a tad more obsessional about the sport than Brooks…. Their initial meeting had me laughing hard and to be honest, I didn’t stop laughing for most of the book.

It was fab that they were each what the other needed but didn’t realise even though their ‘relationship’ didn’t start off on the best footing…. though that added to the fun!

With crazy antics on the leads parts, madcap families, lot of great friends (who we all know and love from previous books), full-of-fun baseball team mates and a guest appearance by a favourite hockey team, JOCK BLOCKED was a fabulous read and another hit from Ms Grant!!!

Can I just say, those epilogues……. there were tears reading one… I admit it!!

A home run 5* laugh-a-lot read………

Irresistible Trouble

OH EM GEEE…
Adored Cooper & Waverly!!!

One look, one curve of her luscious red mouth, and deep in my soul, I already know she’s everything I never knew I wanted.
And what starts as a simple business transaction becomes more. Unexpected feelings emerge, causing the walls I’ve built around myself to crumble at her feet.
But I have secrets.
Secrets that could cost me—us—everything.
Unfortunately, skeletons have a way of crawling out of the deepest, darkest hole.
It’s inevitable Everlee discovers the truth.
Once she knows what I’d done, will my wife stand by me, or will she walk away and take my broken heart with her?

**An Inevitable Marriage is a marriage of convenience romance between a curvy girl who desperately needs to love herself and a broken British billionaire who doesn’t think he’s worthy of love. Come along for this swoony, low-angst tale of two crushed souls finding each other exactly when they need to.

Author Bio

New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author, Pam Godwin, lives in the Midwest with her husband, cats, retired greyhounds, and an old, foul-mouthed parrot. She traveled the world for seven years, attended three universities, married the vocalist of her favorite rock band, and retired from her quantitative analyst career in 2014 to write full-time.

Her interests veer toward the unconventional: bourbon, full-body tattoos, and tragic villains. Equally peculiar are her aversions to sleeping, eating meat, and dolls with blinking eyes.
