Fletcher

I’m a rule-follower, by nature, and I never set out to cause conflict. Until Daphne Whitmore. The truth is, she’s my best friend’s younger sister and therefore she’s off-limits, completely forbidden. I’ve never wanted a woman more. I know that one taste of her will never be enough, especially after I steal a very public kiss. Now I’m committed to claiming her as my own.

Daphne

Thanks to my three overbearing brothers and our widowed father, I’ve been protected and shielded my entire life. I’m ready for a taste of freedom. So the last thing I want is a bossy fireman who thinks he belongs in my life. One fiery kiss seals the deal though, now my heart is a goner. But am I ready to sacrifice my newfound freedom for a love that promises to consume me?

RELEASE BLITZ – The Proposal by Adriana Leigh

Aug 14

Posted by

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 BOOST – The San Marco Heist (An Enemies to Lovers Heist :Reynolds Recoveries #1) by Janet Oppedisano

Jul 19

Posted by

Title: The San Marco Heist
An Enemies to Lovers Heist
Series: Reynolds Recoveries #1
Author: Janet Oppedisano

Genre: Romantic Suspense
Tropes: Enemies to Lovers/Forced Proximity
Release Date: July 14, 2023

BLURB

With my brother’s life on the line, I’ll do anything to get him back—even team up with an annoyingly sexy private eye for the heist of a lifetime.

When I plan the recovery (don’t evercall it theft) of stolen items for their rightful owners, nothing matters more than the safety of my team. I trust no one outside our tight-knit circle. Because a couple years ago I lost my fiancé in a heist gone wrong. My heist. My fault.

But while undercover to take back a near-priceless manuscript, I encounter Malcolm Sharpe, an old friend of my brother’s whose diamond-blue eyes and toe-curling smile almost cause me to blow the heist. We pull it off, beating another team to the prize, but I can’t help feeling like I’ve dodged a bullet.

The other team, though, will stop at nothing to get revenge. That includes kidnapping both Malcolm and my brother—and sending only Malcolm back with a message. They demand my crew steal a medieval relic in exchange for my brother’s life.

And then there’s my brother’s plea to trust Malcolm. Trust a freelance PI whose loyalty ends with a paycheck? Not a chance. But if I’m to get my brother back alive, I need all the help I can get. Even from a man who’s hiding a secret that could turn my entire world upside down.

The San Marco Heist is the exhilarating first installment in the Reynolds Recoveries romantic suspense series, featuring charismatic heroes, smart heroines, and a thrilling heist in each novel.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I thoroughly enjoyed the San Marco Heist (I will say that I’m glad I read ‘The Phoenix Heist’ prior to this as it introduced some of the characters and I felt I understood what was going on a little better than I might have had I gone in blind to who and what Reynolds Recoveries were!)

Malcolm and Scarlett were really good together. Quick thinking, good at what the did but both hiding secrets…I did wonder at points if they’d manage to find a way to be together. This pair were scorching together but both had their own reasons not be involved in a long term relationship.

I loved the action – it’s like reading something akin to Mission Impossible given the stunts and actions this gang pull off!! It was fun – and a little WTH, they’re gonna get caught – reading about their heists!

Janet writes a horrible person well, I just didn’t expect it to be the matriarch of the family that I was gonna dislike so much! Her treatment of Scarlett was puzzling and really uncalled for and I seriously wanted our FMC to put her mother firmly in place more than a dozen times!! Time will tell (hopefully) if and why she’s as cold hearted as she comes across?

I’m now looking forward to finding out more about the rest of the ‘family’ and seeing how things go for them on both the life and action front!

4.5* and definitely a recommended read.

COVER REVEAL – Letters from the Heart (Willow Valley #3) by S.L. Sterling

Jul 5

Posted by

Title: Letters from the Heart
Series: Willow Valley #3
Author: S.L. Sterling

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Small Town/Widower/Military
Cover Design: Thunderstruck Cover Design
Release Date: July 26, 2023

BLURB

Peggy

After the death of my husband, I drowned myself in flowers, a bittersweet memory of the good times we’d shared. I’d had the good fortune to fall in love with a man who wasn’t great with words but understood the language of flowers. There had been flowers for every occasion, which culminated into the biggest flower delivery of all, my own shop in the small town of Willow Valley, Peggy’s Petals. So I spent all my time and energy building my small flower shop.

Eight years later, my friends are trying to encourage me to move on, but how does a person do that and leave behind the guilt they hold? Instead, I tried something safer. My best friend, Trinity, suggested I join the Army pen pal program. It seemed the safest way to test out the waters with someone new, and the best part, we’d never meet, or so I thought.

Ethan

I’d now been widowed longer than I’d been married and thanks to countless deployments, I knew the men under my command better than I knew my own daughter. As I neared retirement, I wanted to change that. I started talking to my daughter. She explained that she had been doing some volunteer work for a non – profit. She was starting a pen pal program for military men and women and she wanted me to get involved.

Apparently, all I needed to do was write a pen pal provided by the non-profit. So, I signed up, and began exchanging letters. This went on for a few months. The more I knew about her, the more I wanted to know. Then kismet played its hand. Melinda, my daughter, and Peggy, my pen pal lived in the same small town.

As I prepared for retirement, I finally knew where I wanted to settle down. The military had given me an amazing life, now I wanted the job of being a family man, which meant being with my family. I planned to move to Willow Valley, build a relationship with my daughter, and if I had my way, build one with Peggy too.

RELEASE BLITZ – The Brickwall and the Bombshell (New Orleans Revelers #4) by Jiffy Kate

Jun 15

Posted by

The Brickwall and The Bombshell

New Orleans Revelers #4

Jiffy Kate

Release Date: June 15

Blurb:

He needs respectability and she needs a safe place to land. It’s a win-win, right?

Mack Granger’s reputation is a PR nightmare. As his career winds down, he realizes he needs to clean up his act. One way to secure his post-MLB future is to convince the media he’s in a stable, loving relationship. When fate drops a roomie with benefits into his lap, it’s like hitting a grand slam.

Greer Bradley is tossed a curve ball via a creepy email. As her new job covering the New Orleans Revelers for a local station heats up, so do the stalkerish advances. A too close for comfort encounter sends her running to Mack Granger’s doorstep. He might be MLB’s biggest playboy, but if she’s being honest, he makes her feel safe… and sexed-up.

Somewhere in the midst of the crazy game called life, this fake relationship could become the most real thing either of them has ever experienced.

Grab Your Copy!

http://𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸: https://geni.us/TBWATBS

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

I’ve literally finished reading this book… I didn’t want it to end, I enjoyed it that much.

I’ve read and loved books by the Jiffy Kate ladies previously and I love how well they paint the characters and the city of New Orleans so that, as a reader, I can imagine knowing these people and being in that city.

Mack Granger & Greer Bradley have friends in common so have been around each other socially and while you would think from their initial interaction in the book that they don’t like each other there’s actually a lot more to their feelings as we discover through the read …

Mack is a baseball player, has literally been a player and his reputation is suffering.

Greer is a journalist who has suddenly had the assignment of covering Mack’s sport handed to her while at the same time she’s realized she may have a stalker.

As a mutually beneficial arrangement this pair start a ‘relationship’ that only a few very close people know about.
Mack gets to clean up his reputation and image and Greer has support and someone to rely on.

From there the pair spend time together, get to know each other and walls begin to fall.

I adored watching them work out what was going on between them. They had each others backs and made a terrific couple.

The stalker element and reasons behind it kinda surprised me but it was a good story line.

So many things I could say about this book but that would drop too many spoilers and I’m not gonna give those away!

I’m hoping to catch up with Greer and Mack in future books from JK!

Really liked meeting the supporting characters, the sense of family (that was more choice than blood) was great, and even though I did my usual and started with a later book in the series, and now know who the couples are, I’m gonna go back and read the other Revelers players stories!

A solid 5* read for me. Grab yourself a copy of The Brickwall and the Bombshell and settle in for a fabulous read.

Looking for a Fake Fiancé

Have you ever wanted to prove someone wrong so badly that you could taste it?

It doesn’t matter if they’re right. The fact that they had the audacity to say it is what counts.

Hi. It’s me. I’m that person.

The man I’ve been casually seeing told me I’m not “wife material” and should “lower my expectations”. Didn’t he realize I lowered them the moment I met him for dinner?

Obviously not.

Am I petty? Maybe. Annoyed? Of course. Determined? Definitely.

I need someone to help me flaunt my new engagement—my fiancé couldn’t wait to pop the question because I’m that amazing—in his face.

The problem? I don’t have a boyfriend, let alone a husband-to-be.

Which brings us to you.

Are you handsome? Successful? A smooth talker extraordinaire?

Are you willing to do all the things that someone madly in love would do?

Putting your hand on the small of my back. Forehead kissing. Acting like I’m a treasure you can’t live without. I need you to be prepared to do all those things … and maybe more.

What do you get out of this? I’m willing to negotiate terms—especially if they include a job and a place to stay. It’s a long story. 

One night. One event. Let’s put on one heck of a show.

From USA Today and Amazon Charts Bestselling author comes a “hot and hilarious!” fake-dating tale between two frenemies that turn into roommates, coworkers, and, ultimately, lovers. Fans of close proximity, one-bed trope, and blue-collar, small-town heroes will fall madly in love with this story.

About the Author:

USA Today Bestselling author, Adriana Locke, writes contemporary romances about the two things she knows best—big families and small towns. Her stories are about ordinary people finding extraordinary love with the perfect combination of heart, heat, and humor.

She loves connecting with readers, fall weather, football, reading alpha heroes, everything pumpkin, and pretending to garden.

Hailing from a tiny town in the Midwest, Adriana spends her free time with her high school sweetheart (who she married over twenty-five years ago) and their four sons (who truly are her best work). Her kitchen may be a perpetual disaster, and if all else fails, there is always pizza.

CHECK OUT THIS EXCERPT!

“Banks!” Ashley calls, stopping me in my tracks. 

“What?” I groan and face her again. “Call someone else. Whatever it is, call someone else to help her. I’ll even pay for it. It’ll be cheaper than the therapy I’ll have to endure after seeing her.”

“She needs help.”

I cross my arms over my chest. “Oh, I know that. I rode with her all the way to Orlando and back to pick up someone’sshit when they moved in with Maddox.”

She sighs.

I sigh back at her.

We watch one another. Neither of us says a word. But Sara? Sara says lots of words, many of which can be heard through the phone dangling in Ashley’s hand from across the room.

If Sara had called and asked for my help, I wouldn’t answer. The woman is hell on wheels. She’s headstrong and thinks she knows everything. Her aversion to physical labor is astounding.

If I’m water, she’s oil—oil that hasn’t been changed in a hundred-thousand miles. And I’m basically holy water, so it’s a no-go.

But it’s not Sara who’s asking for my help. It’s Ashley. And Ashley is family. 

Oh, fuck my life.

I blow out a long, hasty breath.

“I’ll let you come over for dinner tomorrow, too,” Ashley says, luring me in with her fluttery lashes. 

Still, I hold strong and think it through. 

Even if I put up an argument and do my best to resist her pleas for help, I’ll give in. Arguing will only delay the inevitable. At worst, Ashley will call Maddox, and he’ll call me, asking me to go. And I can’t say no to Maddox because he never says no to me.

Except for the spiders.

“Three dinners,” I say. “And movie nights with you guys every Saturday for a month.”

She grins and thrusts the phone my way.

I take it, glaring at her. It only makes her giggle.

I sigh again, just to set the stage. Can’t let Sara think I’m happy about this.

“Hi, giant pain in the ass,” I say.

“Thinking about my ass again, I see.”

This is gonna suck. 

Blurb:

Looking for a Fake Fiancé

Have you ever wanted to prove someone wrong so badly that you could taste it?

It doesn’t matter if they’re right. The fact that they had the audacity to say it is what counts.

And the publisher decides to publish it.

Will Brooke Baker survive two months of working on revisions and edits with the very man she envisioned while writing the hottest sex she’s ever heard of? Or will the constant white lies and overwhelming attraction make her spontaneously combust?

Accidental Attachment is a full-length standalone romantic comedy that is available in Kindle Unlimited, Ebook, Paperback, and Audio.

I sent my editor the wrong manuscript.

Instead of the novel I promised my publisher, I sent him the romance fan-fiction I wrote…about him.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

Going into Accidental Attachment, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect…. but the gods, it was a fab read!

Full of laughs, from chuckles to full on belly laughs, reading at night while the o/h was sleeping, at points I was convinced I was gonna wake him up. Really should take the ladies pointers for where not to read them seriously!! LOL!!

Brooke was actually kinda relatable… not big on putting herself out there and meeting people. A wine lover (ok, more a chugger of wine!!) but if she didn’t like the vino so much her accidental attachment of the wrong manuscript wouldn’t have been sent to Chase!

Chase. Yeah, he was pretty perfect. Except when it came to a specific point. The call that Brooke made on his behalf, lordy, I was so happy it made him stand up for himself.
This guy had the patience of a saint, which given Brooke’s procrastinating on certain events, was a very good thing.

I loved Chase’s enthusiasm for Brooke’s new book and his determination that it was gonna be a success. On the flip side, Brooke kinda frustrated me a little, yeah she’d sent the wrong file and no, she didn’t fess up, but hell, help a guy out and have a little faith!!

The road trip, seeing this pair in close quarters, realising how they felt about the other and watching them fall was awesome. This pair were so attracted to each other, for good reason and they just fit, how could they not fall.

I completely adored Benji. He felt more human than canine at times and definitely got Brooke and her particular brand of crazy!! I did think Benj may have had a wardrobe as big as Brooke’s given his regular costumes changes!

This book was really funny, had some sweet moments, a couple of heart hurting instances and a whole helluva lot of heat – these two were combustible once they got started!

I liked the supporting characters, especially Mo, Chase’s sister. She was another crazy lady, but I got her too – we’ve all had a fan girl moment or two I’m sure! Brooke’s family were interesting – I’m especially looking forward to the next book – Sammy is gonna be fun to read about I’m sure.

The epilogue was really good and the bonus epilogue the ladies gave us was FAF, in an OTT way that only Brooke could envisage!

A definite recommended read. Grab yourself a copy, find a quiet spot and enjoy the madness!
