Secondhand Skin (A Soulbound Universe Novel) by Hailey Turner is now live!

Nothing says you can’t steal a heart. Keeping it though? That’s another problem.

Wade Espinoza knows a thing or two about hoards. As a dragon, he’s got plenty. What he doesn’t have is a relationship, and he swears he’s not looking for one. But when he’s sent to Boston to answer a cry for help from another pack, he’s drawn into a mess of fae bargains centered around a selkie who Wade instantly becomes obsessed with.

Riordan Maguire is struggling to keep his selkie clan out of the clutches of a fae lord who will do anything to take over their territory. Partnering with the Boston god pack means coming face-to-face with the first person he’s ever wanted to willingly give his sealskin. Too bad Wade isn’t local and is something altogether strange that Riordan isn’t sure he can trust.

Amidst a growing danger in the streets and Boston Harbor, Wade and Riordan are desperate to find a way to keep everyone safe. For bargains are dangerous things to break, but so are hearts. Wade isn’t willing to shatter either of theirs in a race against time that could see Riordan torn from him forever.

RELEASE BLITZ – Summer with a Single Dad (The Love Beach Collection) by Leigh Adams

Sep 2

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: Summer with a Single Dad

Series: The Love Beach Collection

Author: Leigh Adams

Release: August 29, 2024

Genre/Tropes: Single Dad; Steamy/spicy; Summer Romance; Insta-lust; Strangers to Lovers; Second Chance Romance; One Night Stand to More

Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/208461811-summer-with-a-single-dad

Blurb:

One night of passion would do just fine. It was all I could afford to give.

Chris caught my attention from the first moment I saw him at my favorite local hangout. And then he set my body on fire from the first touch. We both agreed it was a one-night deal. I had nothing else to offer him, no matter how good that one night was.

As the sun rose the next morning, I slipped away, leaving him and our night together right where they belonged—in the past.

I should have been able to forget him. Out of sight, out of mind… right? Except, every once in a while, his face would pop into my mind, reminding me how much of an effect he’d had on me.

One year and one internet search later, the man I couldn’t forget landed on my front step, and he was no longer out of sight, out of mind. He was right in front of my face.

Training his terror of a dog would prove easier than keeping my feelings for Chris in check. I saw right through his clever tactics—using his adorable yet unruly dog, Lucifer, as a ruse to spend more time with me.

The man I left behind after one night had one mission: to prove to me that our connection was too powerful to forget. As time passed, we laughed, flirted, and reconnected far beyond the single night we shared. We sparked once again, and I discovered it was more difficult to train my heart than a four-legged furball.

Intuition told me to pump the breaks—I swore there was something Chris was holding back from me. But the more I learned about him, the more there was at stake, and I had a decision to make:

End our sultry-night-turned-summer-romance or embrace the beautiful chaos surrounding the guys who stole my heart.

About the Author

Leigh Adams is a debut Contemporary Romance author and resides in sunny southern California. As an avid reader and English major, she’s always been passionate about literature. She is never without a book in her hand and never leaves the house without something to read.

Growing up, she always planned to be a writer. That was until college and the adult world locked her into a role and career she came to love. With writing on the backburner, Leigh worked hard honing her skills, creating her life, and focusing on helping others to find their passion and pursue their dreams.

After several years of working hard at her day job, she decided to redirect her focus onto her personal passion, and picked up the pen to write. While she still loves her day-job, Leigh also enjoys creating worlds and characters for readers to utterly fall in love with.

Her novels contain a mixture of sweet, sass, and a whole lot of sexy. She writes heroines who are smart and snarky; and while some of them have been broken and bruised, they still have a backbone. Her heroes are strong, sexy alphas who are sometimes sweet and sometimes brass; but they always win the heart of their leading lady. While some of her characters may be damaged, as a hopeless romantic, Leigh’s stories contain no cliffhanger endings because she firmly believes in giving each of her characters their own Happily Ever After. . .

When she’s not writing, Leigh can most often be found laughing and living it up with her family and friends, trying a new recipe, or simply relaxing with a good book or movie.

RELEASE BLITZ – The Summer I First Saw You (The Summer series #5) by Elizabeth O’Roark

Aug 29

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

The Summer I First Saw You by Elizabeth O’Roark is now live!

An angsty, age gap, forbidden romance from bestselling author, Elizabeth O’ Roark.

Once upon a time, my buddy’s niece was a toddler in a swim diaper following me around the beach. Now Daisy’s twenty-one, the loveliest thing I’ve ever laid eyes on, and blackmailing me into letting her stay for the summer.

If she’s not bent over on my deck in yoga pants, she’s in a bikini that covers far less. She makes me laugh when I want to stay pissed off and forces me to remember all the things I used to love. If only she wasn’t so damn young and so incredibly off-limits.

The sizzling tension between us is getting harder to resist, but giving in would destroy some of my oldest friendships. Worst of all, though?

It might destroy Daisy too.

RELEASE BLITZ – The Devil Himself (Devil of Dublin #2) by BB Easton

Aug 29

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

The Devil Himself by BB Easton is now live!

From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 44 Chapters About 4 Men (inspiration for the hit series Sex/Life on Netflix) comes the highly anticipated sequel to her dark Irish mafia romance, Devil of Dublin.

Growing up, I spent every night tucked under my mother’s arm, dreamily listening to tales from her favorite book series—Legend Has It by Darby Donovan, a collection of spooky folklore about a town called Glenshire and the lonely, gray-eyed fairy prince who haunted the woods there. I knew they were just stories, but when my mother died and left me in the care of my cold, abusive father, that fictional fairy prince suddenly became very, very real to me. It was as if he was always there, hiding in the shadows, offering me his silent comfort. I turned him into an imaginary friend when I needed one most.

And thirteen years later, I’m doing it again.

When my coastal Irish town is bombed by the new Russian president, a Bratva leader seeking revenge on the United Irish Brotherhood, those missiles destroy everything I’ve ever known—my home, my family, and evidently my sanity—because when I pull an injured Russian Navy officer out of the sea, a man who led the charge against my town, I can’t bring myself to let him die.

Secluded together in my secret hiding spot, we’re safe from the Mafia war raging outside, but the overwhelming connection I feel to this stranger is a battle I fight every single day. I hate him with everything that I am, but when he looks at me with those smoky gray eyes, all I see is my friend. When he touches me, all I feel is desire. And when he wraps his lips around the sustenance I offer him, all I want is to feel them pressed against mine, loving me, putting me back together.

But no one can live in a fantasy world forever, and when reality finally finds us, the truth about him is worse than anything I could have imagined.

The man I rescued is no fairy prince.

He’s the goddamn Devil himself.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: The Devil Himself is a continuation of Devil of Dublin and is not intended to be read as a standalone. It contains the same dark themes, graphic violence, and explicit content as Book 1, but if you have questions about specific subject matter, a comprehensive content warning can be found on my website.

Meet BB Easton

BB Easton is the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN, the hilarious, steamy, tell-all memoir that inspired the Netflix Original Series, SEX/LIFE. Within the first month, SEX/LIFE was viewed by 67 million households worldwide, making it the 3rd Most Watched Netflix Original Series of all time.

BB was a stressed-out school psychologist and mother of two when the inspiration to write 44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN struck. Through that process, she rediscovered her passion for writing, became dangerously sleep-deprived, and finally mustered enough courage to quit her job and become a full-time author.

BB went on to publish four more wickedly funny, shockingly steamy, and heartwarmingly autobiographical books in the 44 CHAPTERS series: SKIN, SPEED, STAR, and SUIT. Since then, she’s been hard at work, writing fictional stories that appeal to her love for us-against-the-world romance, including a dystopian trilogy (BAD BOYS DON’T DIE), a psychologist-client romantic comedy (GROUP THERAPY), and a dark Mafia romance series (DEVIL OF DUBLIN).

RELEASE BLITZ – Tackled in the Stacks by S.J. Tilly

Aug 29

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Tackled in the Stacks by S.J. Tilly is now live!

I caught her staring at me from across the quad, eyes fixed on the football jersey stretched across my wide chest. And if I flexed my muscles, showing off the strength of a defensive tackle, it was just to see her blush.
And then she did, and I couldn’t get her out of my mind.
Her wide eyes. The freckles on her cheeks.
I needed to know her. The girl who scampered away every time we bumped into each other–by accident and by design. The girl who shyly agreed to come to my game, getting her first taste of football. The girl, Hannah Utley, who worked at the campus library and let me rest my head on her shoulder as she read to me in one of the study rooms.
It was innocent. Mostly.
Until we lose track of time and discover that the library has closed. And we’re locked inside.
Now it’s me and Hannah in the stacks.
Alone.
With nothing but desire between us.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

My first read by S.J.Tilly but it definitely won’t be my last….

I loved the picture painted of the connection between Hannah and Maddox and how, even though they only knew each other such a very short time, Maddox knew what this girl meant to him.

I liked that he wasn’t a stereotypical ‘jock’ and that she was comfortable in her own skin. This pair had me hooked.

I’m off to read ‘Love, Utley’ because I NEED to know what happens with these two……

Meet S.J. Tilly

Like all her books, S.J. Tilly resides in the glorious state of Minnesota, where she was born and raised. To avoid the freezing cold winters, S.J. enjoys burying her head in books, whether to read them or write them or listen to them.

When she’s not busy writing her contemporary smut, she can be found lounging with her husband and their herd of rescue boxers. And when the weather permits she loves putting her compost to use in the garden, pretending to know what she’s doing. The neighbors may not like the flowery mayhem of her yard, but the bees sure do. And really, that’s more important.

Excerpt:

“Wade . . .” I say his name for the first time, to him, in years. It hurts, hearing my voice call out to him.

He stops and sets his shovel down. I didn’t expect him to walk toward me, but he does. Each step of his is deliberate and forceful, almost like he’s trying to leave his impression in the grass. He’s wearing his khaki cargo pants and from experience I know each pocket has something he’ll need today. A tool, twine, or trimmer line for the weed wacker. I’ve spent countless hours sitting on my parent’s front porch, watching him cut lawn with precision.

I’m out of breath when he comes face to face with me. He stands close. Close enough that we share the same air. Everything in my mind tells me to step back, to put a wall between us, but my heart sings at the closeness. I know I’ll never win the battle of hating him as long as we’re in the same town.

We stare at one another, taking each other in. His dark hair, brown eyes, and scruff all call to me, beg me to get lost in everything that is Wade Jenkins. I have loved this man for most of my life, and yet he’ll never be mine.

Author Bio:

COVER REVEAL – The Invitation by Adriana Locke

Aug 29

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Adriana Locke has revealed the gorgeous cover for The Invitation!

Releasing: September 23, 2024

Cover Design: Kari March Designs

Photographer: Ren Saliba

I hate Ripley Brewer.

So, why am I fake dating him while being trailed by cameras recording our every move?

My best friend was in a pinch, and she’s the only person in the world I would do anything for. Helping her by pretending to be in love with a stranger for a few weeks would net me good karma, a few bucks, and a bit of exposure—all of which I need desperately right now—to help secure my dream job.

Pretty straightforward, right?

What could go wrong?

Ripley. He’s what always goes wrong.

I’m surprised the producers hired Ripley and me for the reality show after we realized we would be working together and not with strangers, and we almost came to blows in the conference room. But they did. Now I’m stuck pretending to be in love with the biggest, cockiest, most gorgeous billionaire playboy in all of Tennessee.

I’m even more shocked at Ripley’s acting skills.

As we settle into our new roles, it becomes increasingly difficult to separate the real Ripley from the character he’s portraying. His strong hand nestled in the small of my back blurs the line between reality and fiction. His dazzling green eyes and decadent smirk distract me from the man I loathe. I could almost believe his small acts of kindness—bringing me soup when I was sick and threatening to dismantle an overbearing ex—were because he was falling for me.

And that I’m falling for him, too.

This season of The Invitation began as an enemies-to-lovers (pretend) romance. Can we possibly finish it with a real-life happy ending?

From USA Today and Amazon Charts Bestselling author Adriana Locke comes a “sweet and spicy!” new romance between two people who are forbidden from falling in love but must share one bed.

NEW RELEASE – Stay Real (Kincaid Brothers #8) by Kaylee Ryan

Title: Stay Real
Series: Kincaid Brothers #8
Author: Kaylee Ryan

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Small Town/Fake Dating/Blue Collar
Release Date: August 27, 2024

BLURB

Courtney

Maybe blurting out my imaginary relationship status to my nagging mother wasn’t the best idea.

Declaring that I’m dating my boss’s brother-in-law, well, that was just wishful thinking and a lot of panic.

To my embarrassment, they both overhead me. But Merrick not only offers to be my plus one, he agrees to fake date me for the next couple of months leading up to my sister’s wedding.

The more time we spend together, the harder it becomes to deny that every look, every touch, is making him more a part of my life than I’m prepared for.

The pain of thinking about walking away from him when it’s time doesn’t feel pretend. It feels real… too real.

Merrick

Courtney’s sister is tying the knot, and her mom is relentless about her finding a date and settling down. In a moment of panic, she claims she’s dating me.

To save her from the awkward situation and ease the pressure, I suggest we fake a relationship until the wedding. I figure we can hang out, show up to the wedding, and go our separate ways.

But as we start spending more time together and meeting each other’s families, the lines between real and pretend blur.

What was supposed to be a simple agreement starts to feel genuine. I’m unsure when it happened, but this relationship is suddenly the real deal, and I don’t want it to end. I want us to stay real.

In the chilling finale of the Frozen Fate trilogy, Frankie enters a world far deadlier than the one she escaped.

A sinister threat lurks in the shadows, hunting her with a dark obsession as her savage protectors battle the rules of society.

Thrust into the civilized world, they spiral into violence and refuse to conform, their wild natures threatening to tear apart their bond.

Amid these struggles, her seductive billionaire husband fights to reclaim her love.

Caught between possessive men, a deadly stalker, and a legacy of pain, she must decide her fate.

Choose wrongly, and she’ll lose everything to a monster with a heart of frost and scars.

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.
