RELEASE BLITZ – Playbook by Rebecca Jenshak

Playbook by Rebecca Jenshak is now live!

From USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Jenshak comes a standalone fake dating sports romance. This steamy, grumpy / sunshine football romance delivers a swoony and emotional happily ever after.

Brogan Six’s fan mail has been filling my mailbox for weeks. With every lipstick covered letter I receive, my irritation with him grows. And let’s not talk about the time I accidentally opened one of the packages to find someone had sent him their panties. Gross.

When I come face-to-face with my new nemesis, I expect to give him a piece of my mind and we’ll go our separate ways. Me to an empty mailbox and him to sift through his panty collection.

That is not what happens.

I don’t know if it was the booze, his clever wit, or if I was tricked (I’m sure I was tricked), but now I’m fake dating the Mavericks’ hot new rookie.

And I might just be the next woman to lose her panties to Brogan Six.

Playbook is a standalone fake dating, grumpy/sunshine sports romance with banter, found family, spice, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

TANNER

The summer before my senior year of college, I made the biggest mistake of my life. It wasn’t falling for my best friend’s little sister when I knew she was off-limits…it was leaving her behind thinking what we had was nothing more than a fling. Her pained cries as I walked away have played on a loop in my nightmares since that day. In the years that have passed, there hasn’t been a single achievement I’ve celebrated that wasn’t tainted by her absence. But now, it’s time. I’m going to get my girl back…no matter what it takes.

GRACE

Five years ago, I spent a whole summer learning, exploring, and falling in love with my lifelong protector. His future was bright, and as he broke me into a million pieces, he made sure I knew there wasn’t a place for me next to him under the bright, stadium lights. That girl who waited and hoped for him to come back is gone now, but just when I think I’ve moved on and created a life of my own, a ghost from my past reappears, determined to make things right. Tanner Lake may have once been everything to me, but those days are long over, aren’t they?

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

O.M.*.G… 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Literally have just finished reading Tanner & Grace’s story.
I’m gonna clear my head, gather myself (maybe have a cold shower!!! 😉🥵) and I’ll be back with my thoughts!!!

*
*
*

Ok, I’ve cooled down and got my head straight.

I ADORED Tanner & Grace. I honestly could not wait for Tanner’s story. After all he did to help the guys in the previous books get their heads out of their backsides and see what they stood to lose I needed to know who had broken Tan’s heart!

I loved Grace. She worked so hard to glue herself back together, even though little shards were still missing.
Her reaction to seeing Tanner again was completely understandable and I liked that she hadn’t shied away from trying to move on with her life and relationships.
That he was the first person she ran into when she needed propped up again gave Tanner the opportunity he so desperately wanted to get close to her again, in whatever capacity that presented itselfi

There were so many things about Tanner that I didn’t expect, but that made my heart sing. Grace was IT for him, even in all the years he stayed away, no one was ever gonna measure up and be as important to him as she was. This guy set the bar high (when we discount breaking both their hearts!!)

Loved the interactions with his teammates and their significant others from previous books.
This book had it all; heart, chemistry, second chances and heat (oh the gods, the heat!!!!!)

The Boston Blizzard series couldn’t have ended on a better couple and while I’m sad this was the last book I have to say… I cannot wait for the Daytona Fury series!!!!! 😱

Blurb:

Lorelai Anderson got under my skin years ago and I’d never been able to get her out.

When I found out she had a crush on me I turned into the biggest dick around. I did what I did to keep her away. I knew I wasn’t the man she needed, and her brother agreed.

Then I left town to play hockey which was both a blessing and a curse.

When I got signed to the Dominators and returned to Vancouver, I suppose I got what I deserved. Not only did Lorelai hate my guts, but she had a boyfriend. So, I kept my distance from her, until her friend started dating one of my teammates. I had no choice but to come around. It got worse when I got the invitation to her brother’s wedding. There was no way I could back out.

As my luck would have it Lorelai and I end up on the same flight to Hawaii and that’s when I find out she is very single. I also find out that her ex is going to be at this wedding and despite having a new girlfriend, the cheating jerk is harassing her to get back together with him. When she breaks down in tears, I do that only thing I can think of. I make a split-second decision to be her boyfriend for the wedding and get Hugo off her back. I figure it’s helping her out but for me it’s the perfect opportunity to convince her I’m not the same guy I used to be.

I want her to know I’m the man she deserves and I’m going to put everything on the line to get her to be mine.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I’ve been looking forward to this book since I finished Inside the Penalty Box.

We were given hints that Lorelai & Know had some kind of history and I was intrigued, to say the least.

There were a couple of things standing in this pairs way in the past…. an age gap, Knox being the best friends of her big brother and him thinking Lorelai is better off with someone else.

It’s difficult to avoid the other now that Lorelai is working for the Dominators and even more so now that they’re both attending her brothers wedding.
They end up on the same flight – both thinking the other was travelling with the group earlier – sitting next to each other (which made for fun reading) and Lorelai ends up spilling the tea about her ex and how he’s kinda harassing her to talk to him..

After discovering what was going on Knox proposes a fake relationship to help Lorelai get through the weekend without having to worry about her ex and his new girlfriend.

There’s a definite attraction between them and even though she tries to avoid it, Lorelai knows she still has feeling for Knox. He’s always liked her but between the ‘bro code’ and her being younger he didn’t want to overstep. Things are different now and Knox’s feeling for Lorelai grow the longer their ‘relationship’ runs.

We had a few things going on that meant the path to being together wasn’t smooth sailing but Knox’s determination and Lorelai working out what she wanted helped them towards the future they deserved.

There was great banter, so much sexual tension and heat that made Ten Minute Muscibduct a great read. I really liked most of the characters but I have to say I detested Lorelai’s ex and her brother was a bit of a disappointment to be honest. Phil really should have dealt with the guy and supported his sister.

Can’t wait for what’s next in this series.

RELEASE BLITZ – The Arrangement by Adriana Locke

Jul 24

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

The Arrangement by Adriana Locke is now live!

The gorgeous CEO of Brewer Air is my boss and, thanks to a bet, my new husband for six months.

Why? Because I begged.

I have a grandmother to support, a stack of bills higher than my five-foot frame, and as a cherry on top, I need to find a new place to live. Soon.

Sure, Jason Brewer’s bright green eyes and chiseled jawline steal my breath. His smirk makes me weak. The former military hero’s protective nature is as sexy as watching him control a boardroom or fly a plane.

But none of that matters. I’m desperate—not foolish. I know forever-level commitments aren’t real. This is simply a business transaction with a billionaire.

It’s too bad we didn’t consider all contingencies.

Our first kiss was to seal the deal. The second was in front of an Elvis impersonator. The third kiss led to a honeymoon that was so hot it burned into my memory.

I tell myself it’s okay because there’s an arrangement in place. It’s a—very—enjoyable means to a much-needed end. There’s nothing to worry about.

Except there is …

Jason is determined to prove that we could be more. When he proposes a new arrangement, it changes everything in ways I never saw coming.

From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Adriana Locke comes a new age-gap workplace romance featuring a former military hero who falls first and hard for his heroine. You will swoon over this spicy standalone romance.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

We just knew Jason Brewer was gonna give Ren a run for his money and boy did he!!!!!

Jason & Chloe have been friends for a long time but only reconnected a few years ago when they met again and Chloe came to work for Brewer Air.

Jason has been dealing with a lot following the drama with his father and has pretty much been all about work. He’s been really interested in Chloe since they reconnected but was under the impression she had a boyfriend so didn’t act on his feelings.
Chloe loves her job, she’s great at what she does, it gives her the means to care for her grandma and she likes the people she works with. The banter between the pair of them was fab and I liked how much they cared about each other.

A fake marriage was not something either of them saw coming but in no time at all, both realised what they wanted. It felt like the push they needed as they’d been circling round each other for some time and without the ‘marriage’ they might never have gotten anywhere.
Jason is the one his siblings turn to when they need help, advise or support but who supported him? Chloe was exactly what and who he needed.
Chloe’s opinion on marriage and love were quite different from Jason’s going into the relationship but something happens that makes Chloe realize what and who is important to her.
This pair were fire together and the heat was intense!

I like catching up with characters we’ve previously met in a series and this time was no different. Those Brewer brothers are entertaining when they all get together.
I adored Chloe’s grandma and Jason’s relationship with her.

I’m loving this series and cannot wait for the next Brewer story.

RELEASE BLITZ – Undeniably Forbidden by J. Saman

Jul 24

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Undeniably Forbidden by J. Saman is now live!

From USA Today bestselling author J. Saman comes a steamy new standalone, brother’s best friend, age-gap, billionaire romance about a broody single dad doctor and the curvy nanny who brings him to his knees.

In my defense, I had no clue the gorgeous guy I had a wildly steamy night with was my brother’s best friend. Or the single dad of the little girl I was about to nanny.

I hadn’t seen Dr. Owen Fritz since I was twelve and he was twenty-four, but even back then, I didn’t care much about him.

He was doing his billionaire, master-of-the-universe, medical school thing, and I was too into art and books to notice anyone.

Now he’s cold and broody, but he doesn’t scare me the way he does everyone else.

He’s been scarred, but I’ve been scarred worse.

We both promise to leave that night in the past, vowing to keep this secret between us and stay professional from now on.

Especially since I’m living with him—sleeping down the hall from him—and his adorable little girl.

Until one night of hell changes everything and all those promises we’ve been struggling to keep don’t just break, they shatter.

Now there’s no holding him back.

And the more he watches me with those magnetic eyes or whisks me into dark corners and puts his heated hands on my body, the more I forget why what we’re doing is so undeniably forbidden.

We’re playing with an unstoppable fire.

And we’re both about to get burned.

CHELSEA
First there was light, love, and laughter. But then, the darkness struck, and there was no escape. I was trapped, lost in a world of loneliness and despair.

I was only fifteen years old.

For her strength.
Her courage.
And her persistence.

But now, seeing her on campus, I know there’s a reason our paths crossed again. We were never meant to be apart.

BLOG TOUR – Blue Jeans in Low Beams (Hayes Family #1) by Claire Hastings

Jul 23

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

BLUE JEANS IN LOW BEAMS

Hayes Family #1

by Claire Hastings

Release Blitz

Release Date: July 18, 2024

Cover Design: Y’all That Graphic
Photographer: FuriousFotog
Model: Andrew Flanagan

Genre: Contemporary Romance Standalone
Trope: Best friend’s little sister, age-gap, forced proximity, summer fling to forever, small town

Synopsis

It was a simple promise—watch out for my best friend’s little sister the same way I would my own.

Turns out, Brenna is a lot more grown-up than I realized. And a lot more beautiful. Which makes sharing an apartment with her this summer tougher than I expected.

Until she shares something with me. Something she’s never shared with anyone. Something that makes me want to step in and help.

Something that changes everything.

Soon enough, my wanting to be with her has nothing to do with that promise I made and everything to do with the undeniable spark between us.

It doesn’t matter that I’m more than a decade older than she is. Or what our small town thinks.

But Brenna’s time in Hickory Hills is limited, making everything more complicated.

The more time I spend with Brenna, the harder it is to stay apart. The more I want to convince her to stay.

I already broke my promise to her brother. But I will keep my promise to her.

Even if I break my own heart in the process.

Author Bio:

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author L. P. Dover is a southern belle living in North Carolina with her husband and two beautiful girls. Everything’s sweeter in the South has always been her mantra and she lives by it, whether it’s with her writing or in her everyday life. Maybe that’s why she’s seriously addicted to chocolate.

Dover has written countless novels in several different genres, including a children’s book with her daughter. Her favorite to write is romantic suspense, but she’s also found a passion in romantic comedy. She loves to make people laugh which is why you’ll never see her without a smile on her face.

RELEASE BLITZ – Mad Love (The Single Dad Playbook #1) by Willow Aster

Jul 10

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Mad Love by Willow Aster is now live!

A small-town, single dad, enemies-to-lovers standalone sports romance in the new series, The Single Dad Playbook, from USA Today Bestselling author Willow Aster.

He’s a quarterback, a single dad, and now he’s my roommate…

For a long time now, I’ve despised Weston Shaw. He’d been someone I’d admired, taking my favorite football team, the Colorado Mustangs, to the Super Bowl.

But that all turned upside down after one night that had nothing to do with me.

We share one undeniable connection: his son, Caleb.

Unfortunately, the circumstances behind that have never been my story to tell.

But now, the truth is out, and I’m left to deal with the consequences.

I’m living under the same roof as Weston, and each day, I discover a side of him I never expected.

He’s not the selfish jock I imagined. He’s caring, thoughtful, and unexpectedly charming.

I find myself drawn to him in ways I never thought possible. It’s terrifying and exhilarating, but I can’t deny it any longer…

I’m falling for the one person I shouldn’t…Weston Shaw.

Mad Love is book one in The Single Dad Playbook series. Each book can be read as a standalone.
