My father demands I give up my dreams to follow the path he’s set for me, but I want more.
And I won’t settle.

In exchange for a small favor, my aunt helps get me started on a new path. My path. But I should have known life isn’t that easy. One of my father’s most trusted men catches up with me, and he’s brought a friend.

I’m off limits, the boss’ daughter, but that doesn’t stop Bastian or Garrick. They’re both overbearing, overprotective, and mouthwatering.

They don’t approve of my aunt. Positive she’s going to betray me, they won’t let me out of their sight. And when I do manage to sneak away, they take turns showing me exactly what price I’ll pay when I cross the line.

But I have to see this through. No matter the cost.

You’ve always been mine to love and to hate…

Small towns have a way of making you face your past.
And there’s two sides to every story.
Hawk and Brittney met as kids in a time when they both needed someone.
Their worlds were already in a state of unrest when an unexpected betrayal stripped them bare.
Words of hate were uttered and promises broken, leaving them bitter enemies.
One is left fighting for the truth, while the other is left with nothing but a dream.
But time and distance can’t separate them forever and fate seemingly intervenes.
Lines blur as they realize things may not have been what they seemed, and old feelings are resurrected.
But amid salvaging their connection comes another fight.
Hawk’s murky past catches up to him and Brittney is thrust in the middle, leaving him no choice but to fight once more to save the girl he realizes he’s always loved.
Even if it means destroying her dreams and wrecking her heart.
Fighting for her is the only thing that matters, and this is one battle he won’t lose.
Winner takes heart.

EXCERPTS

#1

She stares at me as her lower lip trembles before finally crawling under the covers. I hear her sniffle as she tries to fight back her emotions. I walk around the bed to where she’s turned on her side so I can see her face. This time she doesn’t meet my eyes, she stares blankly at something behind me.
I kneel and tuck a few loose strands of hair behind her ear. “You mean more to me than anyone ever has, dolcezza. You can trust that.”
She peers at me sadly as she rapidly blinks tears away. “Did you love her? Did she take my place when you left me behind? It was her, wasn’t it?”
“What are you talking about?” I ask.
“Did she get all your firsts, Hawk?” she asks in a pain-stricken tone.
I pull my hand back, unsure how to answer, but my silence is answer enough. I thought I loved Angel back then, but I realize now nothing about it was love. Infatuation and running from my demons landed me in her arms. And regrettably, I did share my first time with her instead of Brittney like I should have. Angel is the definition of deceit. If you look it up in the dictionary, her picture should be beside it.
Brittney closes her eyes, and the tears leak down her nose and into her hair. I attempt to wipe them away, but she whispers a plea, “Please don’t.”
“Baby…” I start.
Her watery gaze focuses on me. “I know you care. I even believe you love me, Hawk. But I don’t think you’re in love with me. Not in the same way I’m in love with you. It’s only ever been you since we were kids.”
I stare at her in surprise. I don’t know how to respond. I do think I’m in love with her, but I’m not going to drag her into what it means to be a Rossi. My grandfather made it clear I owe him for his help. The debt will be settled by taking on the role he thinks I should. My feelings for Brittney can’t save me from that fate.

#2

“I’m here now to lay all my cards out,” he says softly.
“Here are all the facts. I have family in Nashville who may require my attention, but Greendale Valley is home. I love working on Valley B with Tate. I won’t hide anything about my family from you, but at the same time, I won’t ever let anything from that part of my life hurt you. If your dream is to sing, I’m behind you each step of the way. I love that you have the biggest and most giving heart even if it’s been broken. You see the best in people, and I hope you still see that in me. Because I’m in love with you, Brittney,” he tells me as he swipes the tears from under my eyes with his thumbs.
“There is no fight more worthy of winning than the one for your heart…to be your last and forever,” he adds with a hopeful smile.
I let out a sob or a laugh, to be honest, I’m not sure which. I grab his face on each side and pull his lips to mine. He drops his hands to my legs and hoists me up, so they wrap around his waist.
The same moment we found each other was the same moment we were knocked to the ground…literally.

A captive who dreams of her freedom

In public, violinist Elizabeth Duncan is the toast of the entertainment world. A prodigy who’s been wowing audiences with her music since she was only twelve years old. But behind closed doors, she’s desperate to escape the man who’s turned her passion into a prison. When the specter of violence becomes more than a threat, she sacrifices everything to run.

A hero lost without a mission.

Former special forces operative Ewan McBride has done everything he’s supposed to since leaving the military: Moved home. Bought a new business. Integrated into the community. But he’s just going through the motions. Until he rescues a woman in trouble in the midst of a terrible storm.

A sanctuary and an unexpected new beginning.

Ewan recognizes a woman on the run and can’t resist the urge to help. The danger from her past is certain to come calling. The safest place for her? With him.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I thoroughly enjoyed this latest book in the Kilted Hearts series!

We’d met Ewan previously in earlier books and while reading Protector in a Kilt it felt as if he was just going through the motions, existing but not really living ….. until he met Isobel.

Isobel, she was genuinely lovely. Having lost her family and, to all extents, having been held captive allowed only to focus on her craft, it was truly great seeing her slip into a new life in the village. Being treated like on of the locals and blossoming in her newfound freedom.

This pair were exactly what they each needed but hadn’t realised they were missing. Saying that, is there something in the water in Glenlaig that makes all the blokes a bit dense at times?? Communication in a relationship, especially a new one, is vital, something these lads should be passing on to their mates as soon as they discover this nugget of information themselves!!!

The intrigue in the story made for good reading and while I understood why Isobel didn’t try to find out what was happening around her, I did think that natural human instinct to know what to expect would have been stronger – but having the chance to be ‘normal’ was possibly a bigger draw for her and I get that!!!

As ever with this series we catch up with family (both blood and found) who do their bit, helping out and protecting their own where they can. I think one of my favourite things about Kait’s books is that sense of family, community and belonging that she writes so well.

That epilogue. I can’t wait to see how things go for Ewan & Isobel going forward. There were a few wee comments made during the read and some new faces introduced and I’m hoping (with everything crossed) that we’re gonna either get a few more books in the series or a wee spin off to find out more about Ewan’s buddies.

This instalment ended on an interesting note that sets us up for Single Dad in a Kilt….. I cannot wait for Afton & Hamish’s story….. I’ve got so many questions that I need answered!!!!

Peaches are my life.

When there’s the chance to show off my peaches at a Christmas-themed island for the Peach on the Beach festival, it’s a no-brainer.
Then I arrive in Candy Cane Key.
Turns out, they aren’t celebrating my favorite fruit. Nope. This event is about that other type of peach.
To make matters worse, I can’t stop thinking about the event organizer, the local chocolatier—Tizzy. And that’s exactly what she’s worked my insides into.
The strawberry blonde wild child is my exact opposite in every way. Someone I know I should stay away from. Yet, I can’t.
There’s no harm in a little fling, right?

Son of a Peach is an opposites attract, insta-love, fun in the sun novella about an uptight horticulturist and a happy-go-lucky chocolatier with a guaranteed HEA.

Excerpt

“See, not so hard.”

Maybe this isn’t, but my dick…

“It’s not dirt,” I say, repeating the motions, “but I can see how this would be fun.”

“Dirt is not more fun than chocolate.”

I stop dead, chocolate fork held in midair, Oreo precariously perched on it. She cannot be serious. Then again, of course this free spirit of a woman would think that.

“Dirt is basis for all life. From dirt you came and to dirt you shall return,” I paraphrase. I can practically hear the preacher back home from Hickory Hills Baptist rolling his eyes for getting that piece of scripture wrong. The meaning is still there though.

“Maybe, but…chocolate gives life meaning,” she counters.

“Does it though?”

Dipping her finger into the bowl, she scoops out some of the melted goodness before running her finger along her lips, then sucks all the chocolate off. My dick surges and I swallow hard, wishing that were me she was licking.

Fuck, I need to get it together…

“It does. Besides, doing this with dirt is less fun.”

I don’t have time to ask, “doing what.” Tizzy’s too quick with the spatula, flicking it at me, sending chocolate flying. It’s warm as it hits my skin, catching me off guard. I scoff, unable to believe she just did that. Well, two can play this game.

Grabbing the fork, I mimic her movements, splattering chocolate across her face. Tizzy gasps, her smile wide. She clearly was not expecting me to retaliate. I laugh, enjoying her reaction and the playful fight that ensues. Back and forth we go, each one flinging bits of chocolate at each other. I can’t remember the last time I did anything like this. Certainly not with food. Mud, maybe. Mud fights were plentiful as children. Anton and I never passed up a chance to enjoy a good puddle. But it’s been years since we did that. Since I really let loose and played. And then I met Tizzy.

It’s time to up the ante though, the little splatter from the kitchen instruments no longer having the same effect. So I do what any man would do. I go big.

I dip my whole hand into the chocolate bowl, scooping up as much as I can. I hear Tizzy’s breath hitch, like she knows what’s coming. She doesn’t move though, the impish look on her face turning even more devilish the closer I get to her. I’ve wanted to lick this chocolate off her since the moment she spread it on her lips. Time to create my chance.

Only, physics has a different idea.

Stepping forward to close the distance between us, I slip. My legs wobble underneath me and I lunge forward, trying to keep my balance, and fall into Tizzy. The momentum sends us backward into the counter, which thankfully stops us from hitting the ground.

A second later, both of us trying to catch our breath, I pull back slightly, noticing the placement of my chocolate-covered hand.

Smack-dab on Tizzy’s boob.

About Claire Hastings

RELEASE BLITZ – The Proposal by Adriana Leigh

Aug 14

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

An unexpected proposal occurs when a Vegas oops marriage turns into a marriage of convenience between a rugby player and his best friend’s little sister.

The Proposal by Adriana Locke is now live!

Breaking News: Rugby’s bad boy marries his best friend’s little sister

If Renn Brewer would’ve asked me to marry him, I would’ve said no.

Why?

One, his reputation precedes him. His name is in the headlines at least once a month. Two, he’s not just my brother’s best friend. They’re teammates. And three, I’m in my self-care era.

Unfortunately, a version of me equates self-care with bad choices.

The cocktail in my hand—similar to the one that got me into this situation—is the prettiest shade of pink. It’s almost the same color as the giant rock on my left hand. And instead of discussing an annulment, I’m considering a 90-day marriage of convenience to the man I accidentally married in Las Vegas.

Renn didn’t propose marriage. But he does deliver a proposal I might be unable to turn down.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

Adriana Locke makes my heart so happy!!!! I adore her Carmichael Family books and was pretty sure I was gonna enjoy The Proposal but the gods, I wasn’t quite prepared for how much I was gonna love Blakely & Renn’s story!!!!

Renn & Blakely have been dancing round each other for 10 years but nothing happened – 2 things in the mix stopped them from crossing lines…. Renn is B’s older brothers’ best friend and Blakely just didn’t view Renn as husband material!

One drunken night in Sin City and all of that was turned on it’s head!!! The morning after made for fun reading!

I loved Blakely. She was down to earth, didn’t make the best choices in blokes, had a great heart and just wanted to be loved!
Renn, lordy, this guy!!! He had a bit of a trouble maker reputation, but was it entirely deserved?? He was so good to and for Blakely, while she was everything he didn’t know he wanted or needed! The story takes place over a fairly short time span but how long does it take to know how you feel about someone, or to actually admit to yourself how you feel about someone??

I loved the family dynamic of the Brewers… well, all except Reid; he’s a horrible excuse for a person, a narcissist and totally detestable. Adriana wrote him well, even though I couldn’t stand him!
Renn’s family are awesome – especially his mom – and I have everything crossed that we’ll get more of them in a series of their own.

Brock, B’s brother, and Ella were an interesting side story. I’d have loved more of them but what we got was fab.

Can I just say, after a cameo from Foxx (with some awesome banter and honest to the gods LOL conversation with Blakely) I cannot wait for the oldest Carmichael brother’s book. I’m more intrigued by the guy than I’ve ever been!!!!

** thanks to Valentine PR for an advance copy of the book. As ever, with books I love and fave authors I had this one pre-ordered too!!

RELEASE BLITZ – Stay Here With Me (The Wilder Brothers #5) by Carrie Ann Ryan

Aug 14

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: Stay Here With Me
Series: The Wilder Brothers #5
Author: Carrie Ann Ryan

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Enemies to Lovers/Rock Star/Tortured Hero
Release Date: August 14, 2023

BLURB

The Wilder Brothers from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan continues with a secret romance that East and Lark never saw coming.

The world thinks I only write songs about my ex-boyfriends.

They study each lyric to point a finger at which man broke my heart—even if I’ve never met him.

Only the man I refuse to write about is the one who is so tangled in my mind that I know I can never be with him.

I had one night with East Wilder, and I know that’s all there will ever be.

He broke my heart without even trying.

Yet now I can’t seem to write a single verse and I need a place to hide while I figure out who I am. The Wilder Retreat will have to be my refuge as the Wilders prepare for my best friend’s wedding.

And when I’m there, I refuse to fall for East again.

Even if the dark shadows in his eyes draw me in. And the dangers of his past might be the one thing that forces us to finally give in.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I honestly hate to admit this but…. I wasn’t wild for this particular Wilder for a lot of the story!!!! He eventually won me over but it took a while!

We know from earlier in the series that all of the brothers have come home from serving their country with varying degrees of trauma and damage…. Scars both seen and invisible.
East was really good at telling his brothers to open themselves up and talk in previous reads, to make them see what was in front of them when it came to their significant others but when it came to himself he was a tightly closed book – not once did he tell his brothers about his past, how things affected him and how much he was struggling.

I get that he was dealing with his demons (or maybe not dealing is a better description!!) but the way he treated Lark was awful and even though he knew it and acknowledged his behaviour himself, he was still an almighty ass. He assumed way too much about her and her work (choosing to believe what he heard rather than learning the truth for himself) and you know what they say about assumptions!!!!

Lark, I liked but the gods, she deserved better than she got from East and I just wanted her to tell him where to go for a lot of the story!!!! Yeah, they had a spark and hell they were combustible together but the constant pushing away would have been enough for me to walk away permanently from him and I found myself hoping she’d do that to maybe make him see sense and sort himself out.
I hated that she had to constantly be on guard and that she could barely talk to someone without the media making up stories about who she was seeing and who her latest song was about. It was good that she had a retreat of sorts at the brothers’ resort and she had friends who were there for her, no expectations, just accepted her for who she was.

When he finally got his head together it still took East a bit to man up, be honest and open himself to Lark. I did like that he managed to connect with some people during the story and that these interactions seemed to help to degrees.

There was a little suspense in the story and while I think I understand why the character felt as he did I kinda would have liked a little more on his reasoning and thoughts!

All that said, I did enjoy this instalment of the Wilder Brothers series. I loved that the brothers all got themselves involved in trying to get East to talk (they seriously are a gossipy band of blokes!), I like the group of gals that were there for our leading lady and I cannot wait for the next book – after that little teaser at the end I’m so intrigued about the main characters in Finding The Road To us!!!

Aug 13

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: Broody Nerd
A Cocky Hero Club Novel
Author: Autumn Grey

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Fake Dating/Best Friend’s Brother/Forced Proximity
Release Date: August 13, 2023

Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward are excited to bring you the Cocky Hero Club: original works from various authors inspired by Keeland and Ward’s New York Times bestselling Cocky Bastard series.

BLURB

My love life has been epic.
Epically disastrous.

But that’s all in the past. I put my unrequited crush on Zach, my best friend’s grumpy brother, behind me years ago. My ex-fiancé, the jerk who left me at the altar, is also in my emotional rearview. Now, I’m focusing on my career. I don’t have time for romance.
Then my ex shows up and everything changes.
Zach comes to my defense in a big way, pretending to be my boyfriend. Then he suggests we keep up our mutually beneficial fake relationship for a few more months.
And it’s not long before I realize my crush on Zach might not be as over as I’d hoped.
It might not be as unrequited as I’d thought, either.
But as much as I’d love to trust him, to give him a second chance, I’m not sure I can. I gave him my heart once and he broke it.
This time, I’m afraid trust might be a luxury I can’t afford.

Broody Nerd, part of Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward’s Cocky Hero world, is a light-hearted, contemporary romance standalone featuring plenty of mutual pining, a strong, curvy heroine, and a slightly nerdy, growly hero. Happily ever after guaranteed…along with a slow-burn romance.

A Windsor Securities Series Standalone
Author: Kat Baxter

Genre: Steamy Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Navy SEAL/One Night Stand/Oops Pregnancy
Release Date: August 3, 2023

BLURB

Jane
Once upon a time I kissed a sexy soldier to save face in front of my ex and his shiny new fiance. I never intended the kiss to lead to anything more, least of all the most passionate night of my life… and the bundle of joy that shows up nine months later.

Kevin
I’m only in town to go to a funeral with one of my SEAL buddies when I meet the curvy beauty who changes my life forever. Somehow two years later, I still haven’t forgotten the hot weekend I spent with Jane. So when I’m injured and have to take leave, I head back to Texas to find the woman I left behind. When I get there, I find more than I bargained for.

Forgiving her for keeping my baby a secret is the easy part. After all, she had no way to find me. Convincing her that I’m in this for the long haul is a lot harder.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

Kat Baxter is one of my go-to authors when I’m looking for a hot, steamy, fun, insta-love read.. and Curves and Cradles did not disappoint.

This book is part of the Windsor Securities series – and while I have all the other books sitting on my kindle I’m a tad red faced to admit I’ve not yet started them!!!

I really liked Jane & Kevin. They did have a fun meet up which led to a smokin’ hot weekend hookup and then no contact for a couple of years.

It seemed like there were near promises made by Kevin that weren’t kept – and while I understood his reasoning I wasn’t on board with him not contacting Jane sooner… and his attitude when he initially finds out about their child, oh, no, that was not flying!!! Thankfully he got his head screwed back in but the gods, he was gonna have a battle with Jane if he wanted any kind of future with her and their little one.

Jane was quirky and fun and I HATED her sisters’ attitude towards her… Jane was determined to raise her child but was still kinda peeved at Kevin for going dark, especially after he says ged be in touch. Her reaction to him was reasonable and I understood get hesitancy in getting involved again with Kevin as more than a co-parent.

This pair were on fire when they got together. After their time apart they still have a shed load of attraction and their connection hadn’t lost any of its spark.

I’m definitely going back to read the Windsor Securities books – Curves and Cradles actually takes place before the first book in the series but whether you’ve read the series or not, give Kevin & Jane’s story a go.
