NEW RELEASE PROMO ~ The Trouble with Mistletoe by Jill Shalvis

  troublewithmistletoe-lighter-with-ribbons-250x403


Synopsis:

If she has her way . . .
 
Willa Davis is wrangling puppies when Keane Winters stalks into her pet shop with frustration in his chocolate-brown eyes and a pink bedazzled cat carrier in his hand. He needs a kitty sitter, stat. But the last thing Willa needs is to rescue a guy who doesn’t even remember her . . .
 
He’ll get nothing but coal in his stocking.
 
Saddled with his great-aunt’s Feline from Hell, Keane is desperate to leave her in someone else’s capable hands. But in spite of the fact that he’s sure he’s never seen the drop-dead-gorgeous pet shop owner before, she seems to be mad at him . . .
 
Unless he tempers “naughty” with a special kind of nice . . .
 

Willa can’t deny that Keane’s changed since high school: he’s less arrogant, for one thing—but can she trust him not to break her heart again? It’s time to throw a coin in the fountain, make a Christmas wish—and let the mistletoe do its work . . .



The Trouble with Mistletoe Buy Links:
 
“You want to come upstairs, Willa?”
What she wanted was to put her hands back on his chest now that she knew it was as hard as it looked. Instead she gripped either side of her seat with white knuckles. “Of course not.”
“I think you do. I think you want something else too.”
“What I want,” she said as coolly as she could, “is dinner as promised.”
“Liar,” he chided softly.
“Well that’s just rude, calling your date a liar.”
“So it is a date.” His tone was very male and very smug. It should’ve pissed her off but instead it did something hot and erotic to her insides.
Clearly knowing it, he smiled at her and then dragged his teeth over his lower lip as he contemplated her.
Gah. She wanted to do that. And she wanted to do more too. She wanted him shockingly badly and suddenly she couldn’t remember why she shouldn’t. She tried to access her thought processes on the subject but her brain hiccupped and froze. Which surely was the only reason she let go of the death grip on her seat, slid her fingers into his hair, and . . . brushed her mouth over his.
He didn’t move, not a single muscle, but when she pulled back, his eyes had gone dark as night, piercing her with their intensity.
“Don’t read that the wrong way,” she whispered.

“Is there a wrong way to take it when a beautiful woman kisses you?”

 



BLP REVIEW ~ Tracy

Why, oh why have I never read a Jill Shalvis book before now?? Anna over at Herding Cats has told me often enough that JS’s books are great reads and I should definitely check them out, but did I listen?

The Trouble With Mistletoe was a really great read. I loved both Willa and Keane.
The main characters were both very likable, each had their own thoughts and fears when it came to commitment but together they navigated the beginnings of a relationship and they were so well suited!

TTwM was laugh out loud funny, sweet, sexy and had a real feel good vibe to it. I loved that it was set at Christmas (and that Willa was as over-the-top Mrs Christmas as I am!!) but what made me smile huge was Petunia, Keane’s aunt’s cat that he unwittingly ends up cat-sitting and the reason he and Willa meet in the first place!!

One of my favourite things in a book like this is a really good supporting cast of characters and Ms Shalvis didn’t disappoint – the gang of friends that Willa has, and her girls, were great and fun to read about and I’m looking forward to getting to know more about them in their own stories!

So, yep, this was my first Jill Shalvis read but definitely won’t be my last – I’m gonna go and check out the first book in the Heartbreaker Bay series as well as the rest of her back catalogue – and if the others are as good as this one I’m gonna be a long time fan!!

ETHAN’S HIT A ROUGH SPOT

So I caught my dad in bed with my ex-girlfriend.

My best friend cancelled our plans to celebrate my birthday.

Decided to drink away the betrayal.

Made out with a cardboard cutout of a celebrity in front of my new roommates.

Got in a bar fight.

Hooked up with that pretty bartender whose sad smile I’ve secretly been painting pictures of since forever, but she shoved me out the door without a word.

Did I mention the tattoo I don’t exactly remember getting?

And that’s only Saturday.

Now I need to pick up the pieces of my messed-up life.

 

LEEANNE’S HAD A TOUGH LIFE

What do you do when you’ve lived in the same small town your whole life and you feel as if you’ll always be stuck in the same rut, like a piece of busted wagon wheel? Well, maybe you start by hooking up with the first decent guy who walks into your bar.

Maybe once you do, it’s hard to get him out of your head even though you try. And maybe, just maybe, you find out he makes you laugh even more than he makes you want to shout his name.

If you’re me, you don’t even know what to do with a guy like him. A little piece of happiness…that feels downright dangerous.

Excerpt

(LeeAnne’s POV):

So, whatcha thinking? Time to go?” He rises up on his knees. The way he’s poised, he could either move away or get closer just as easily.

“Oh, I don’t know. I’m not dizzy yet.” Not that I honestly want to get dizzy, but we’ve gotten a little too serious. After Ethan brought me here to have fun, I want to lighten the mood.

With his hands deep in the pockets of his leather jacket, Ethan leans in toward me again. “I thought you didn’t want me to make you dizzy.”

I didn’t think so. Yet here we are, hot breath puffing in the cold air between us. My lips tingle as he leans close. It’s impossible to forget the way his hands explored me so carefully before. The way his tongue tasted me like he wanted to keep on tasting me forever.

“You remember that first time you kissed me?”

His cheeks turn a deep merlot. “Damn right I do. I remember thinking it was the best kiss I’d ever had.”

Well now. I’m pretty sure if I wasn’t sitting on something cold and metal, I’d have just melted right into the playground gravel.

“It was the first time I’d kissed someone because I wanted to, and not because I thought I should.” My chest feels strange when I confess this to him. Like it’s full of butterflies or bees. Lighter but nervous. And oh God, my heart is just bouncing every which way.

As his hair brushes my forehead, his dimple deepens and his eyes get darker. “I’m glad you wanted to kiss me, LeeAnne. I’ve been dying to do it again.”

Maybe…maybe I don’t have to lean on him. Maybe I could just lean in again. Meet those wind-chapped lips halfway. That’d be okay, right?

I wrap my arms around my knees and smile. “I think I’ve decided I wouldn’t mind getting a little dizzy.”

His lips brush mine so fast, I’m left breathless when he jumps from the merry-go-round to give it a spin.

“Hang on tight,” he says.

So I do.


BLP REVIEW ~ Tracy

I loved my return trip to Evergreen Grove…. Ethan and LeeAnne were fantastic characters.
Both of them have been hurt in some way and both have their own demons to overcome on a daily basis and that in itself gives them more in common than either of them realise.

I think one of the things I love most about Elisabeth Staab’s books are the development of the relationships and the characters getting to know each other – hell, when they do eventually get together under the covers (or where ever else they happen to get their kit off!!) it’s hot as hell… – but for me, the biggest draw is the build up and peeling away the layers to find the person underneath, and in Piece by Piece Elisabeth gave us exactly this.

As ever, there was a great supporting cast – some we’ve met before and others new in this book – and I’m hoping that from meeting them in Piece by Piece we get more visits to Evergreen Grove.

This was a great read with likable and believable characters, great banter, laughs, a teeny bit of angst, a lot of musings from both Ethan & LeeAnne (which I thought was fab as I do like reading a characters internal thoughts and take on things!!) and a fair dose of heat…. I can’t wait to see who’s up next in this series!!

BLP REVIEW ~ Tracy 

I know I probably shouldn’t have but I liked him but I have to admit that Oliver Parker is now a firm BBF favourite of mine!!! Yeah, to begin with he was a total git; he was rude, had an ego the size of one of his family’s hotels, was self centered and full of it but as the story went on he totally grew on me! The more we saw of him and found out about his place within the family and business, the more you could understand why he was initially the way he was!

Riley was fab. True to herself until loyalty and love got in the way, she was honest, open and extremely likable. Her relationship with her mum and her growing feelings for Oliver all brought out different facets of her personality that I liked.

The more time this pair spent together, in but also out of bed, the more they got to like each other and their initial ‘agreement/unrefusable offer’ begins to turn into something more!

I really enjoyed this book. It was funny, hot, well written and kept me engaged and entertained.
I’m looking forward to what’s next from Ms Tribue.

I rate Nights with Parker 4.5*

Excerpt: 

After a couple of minutes Ethan lifted him up holding his thighs, “You, and your insane needs,” Noah exclaimed feeling heated hands on his thighs. His legs were feeling the warmth of hell fire from over his pants. His hold was strong and in one push he slid him down and then up in his hand’s grip. Noah was hung in the air only supported through Ethan’s sturdy sizzling grip. He was giggling fun and lust, “What the hell are you doing, dick head?” but Ethan remained silent.  He was looking yearnfully to the erect dick before his face. He kissed it slanting his head and looking at Noah.  “It’s better to keep lust near your lips with a high head,” Ethan responded to him. Movement of his lips over Ethan’s dick was provoking him Noah giggled and then laughed.

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

Stacey Lynn is a new to me author but one who’s back list I will definitely be checking out!

Dirty Player was a hot, sexy and fun read. I really liked both Oliver and Shannon.

Oliver was arrogant and very confident – given his reputation and success you could get why he was like that – but was also extremely caring and protective of Shannon once they were together. Shannon was feisty, determined, loyal and a lot of fun. She’d given up a lot to help her brother Beaux achieve his dream of being a professional football player. Both had trust issues – both completely understandable – so they had some common ground to start with.
Neither thinking the other was what they were looking for, their initial getting together was only supposed to be short term… but the longer they spent in each others company and the more they got to know each other (in and out of bed!!), ending things when they were just starting was never gonna be on the cards.

There were some great supporting characters that were likeable, relatable and fun and I would love to find out more about them. The exes, gods, if I could have reached into my kindle and throat punched them, I would have done it, both were horrible folk!

Well written, with a fantastic epilogue, Dirty Player was a really great, engaging read that I would definitely recommend and I rate 4*.

BLP REVIEW ~ Tracy

Sexy Beginnings was overall a good introduction to the work of Alexis Noelle – who’s books I’ve read a fair bit about but have never actually read!! Set includes Corrupted, Keeping Her, Fall For Me, Shattered Innocence and a sneak peek of Kiss My Crown

Corrupted – this was a good read, I liked the main characters, Lucy and Jordan and the other members of the MC made intrigued me enough to want to know their stories so I will go on to read the rest of the series. Decent story line that kept me interested and I wanted things to work for this couple.

Keeping Her – I grew to like Brian and Julia as I was reading their story…. My issue is that I HATE miscommunication, or as is the case here, lack of communication – but then again, if this pair of eejits had actually spoken we wouldn’t have had a story!! Overall it was an okay read. This pair were obviously meant to be together but he was horrible to her at first and she was blinkered and naïve when it came to the best friend/husband…
How Brian found out as much info as he did puzzled me I have to admit – and the twist in one of the scenes later in the book seemed a little out of place..

Fall For Me – I just couldn’t connect with this story. Don’t know if it was the leads being a little younger or what but I kinda skimmed through this one…. Not for me, but I’m sure others will really enjoy it!

Shattered Innocence – my favourite of the set… I was waiting to find out what Damon’s secret was but would never have guessed what was revealed!! Jessica and Damon were HOT.. Loved their connection, even when he was being a twat..
This book had me in bits come the end, so much so that I immediately 1-C’d Shattered Lives and read that right away as I NEEDED to know what the hell was going on….

Finally we had an introduction to the upcoming release from Alexis, Kiss My Crown… Gods, this had me laughing pretty much from the get go.. I really enjoyed the preview, so much so that I have pre-ordered the eBook and I can’t wait to read it!!

Overall I give this book 3.75*

BLP REVIEW ~ Tracy

 

Brief Me, Baby totally hit my spot…. I do love the Fiona Davenport ladies and their hot, sexy, instalove books really are a secret (ok, not so secret now!!) favourite of mine!!!

I flove a good alpha and where I’m not always a fan of an instalove story, there’s something about the Yeah, Baby series of stories that do it for me.

I liked both characters; Jax knew what he wanted and went for it – even when he understood why Natalie was trying to take a step back and stop what was going on between them, even if just for a little while.. Natalie was determined to succeed under her own steam and not use any well known connections that would undermine her work and effort and I got why she reacted as she did to Jax when his work history was disclosed! When this pair got together they were smokin’ hot….

When I hit a book slump or need a bit of a quick pick me up, FD (along with another author in the same genre!!) really do get me back in the mood for reading!

If you like a good read, with a hot male and a spunky female lead and are looking to heat up a couple of hours, grab yourself a copy of Brief Me, Baby (don’t forget the fan/cold water/significant other!! 😉 )

 


 

 
 

 


EXCERPT
“Four days,” he growled into my mouth before capturing it in another searing kiss.
After doing my best to avoid him, I should have tried to push out of his arms. We were in his office for fuck’s sake, but that didn’t seem to matter to me as I melted into his embrace. When he lifted his head, our chests were heaving, and I couldn’t remember why I’d run from him in the first place. My head was spinning, and the only reason I stayed on my feet was because his hands were
wrapped around my arms.
“You ignored me for an entire weekend.” His hold on me tightened. “Hours upon hours we could have spent together if only you’d picked up your damn phone!”
Before I was able to wrap my brain around what was happening, he dropped down onto the couch, pulled me across his lap, and spanked me. Bursts of pain spread across my skin, making me freeze up in shock. I couldn’t believe he was actually spanking me in his office! He took advantage of my stillness, spanking me repeatedly. His rasped out words punctuated the pain.
“I.”
Whack.
“Warned.”
Whack.
“You.”
Whack.
“Jax!” I gasped out, attempting to slide my hands over my ass for protection. I didn’t get far before he had both my wrists in his grasp, pressing them against my lower back with one hand while caressing my stinging cheeks with the other.
“You’re mine,” he murmured, lifting me off his lap until I was standing between his legs. “I wasn’t fucking joking when I told you I was going to redden this sweet little ass of yours any time I have to remind you that you belong to me.”

I had no response. None. What could I say when one half of me wanted to climb onto his lap for wild monkey-sex, while the other, more rational, part knew damn well that the moment I left his office I was going to run again?

 



 
 

 


The Mafia Ties Series:
Nic & Anna

A smokin’ hot dad falls for the innocent nanny… and he’s a Mafia boss.

Deception: Nic DeLuca is used to taking what he wants. Born to lead a powerful mafia family, he’s not in the habit of asking for permission—or forgiveness. He’s willing to cross any boundary when it comes to possessing what he considers to be his, and from the moment he laid eyes on Anna Martin, he knew she was meant for him.

Nic is quick to move the innocent nanny into his home… and his bed. But, he hides his dark side from Anna. The deception is necessary to ensure she falls for him before she realizes exactly who he is.

Danger: Anna Martin was looking for a nanny position, but she found more than she bargained for when she fell for single dad Nic DeLuca. When she finds out he’s a mafia boss, her head tells her to run but her heart tells her to stay. With his baby girl in the hospital, Anna stands by her man in his time of need. But when danger swirls around them, will they manage to find happiness together?

Devotion: It didn’t take long for Nic DeLuca and Anna Martin to fall in love. The mafia boss and innocent nanny may seem like an odd match, but their devotion to each other is absolute.

When Anna is taken by a rival family, Nic will go to any lengths to rescue her—and ensure nobody touches what’s his ever again.

RELEASE BLITZ ~ Draw Play by Tia Lewis


Title : Draw Play 

Author : Tia Lewis 

 

Genre: Sports Romance 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jake lives and breathes football. When he’s not demonstrating his skills on the field, he’s busy putting the moves on every hot girl on

campus. The last thing he needs is a tutor cramping his style … but curvy Claire gets under his skin in more ways than one.

 

Claire can’t stand football players, and Jake is just as cocky and arrogant as the worst of them. He’s also impossibly sexy. Despite

their frequent arguments, she starts to see another side to him — and finds him increasingly hard to resist.

 

When they finally surrender, the heat they generate could melt the North Pole… but is Jake really willing to sacrifice his image for

Claire? Or will she be left on the sidelines with a broken heart?

 


 


 


This is the first book from Tia Lewis, and while the characters were a bit younger than others I’ve read lately, I really enjoyed the story.

I liked that there was more to Jake and he wasn’t just your atypical college jock, even though that’s how he initially came across. To an extent he didn’t ‘fit in’ when it came to the rest of his team mates but from the outside you’d think he was exactly like them.

She was smart, studious and hard working, he was football mad, not too interested in studying and focusing on his grades and you’d never think this pair would get along.

When the tutoring starts they definitely don’t hit it off right away, they snark and argue back and forth pretty much every time they are together but as they start to spend time together you begin to see a different side to both characters and they begin to connect – in fact, after a while they connect really well!!!

Outside factors in the shape of family and friends and things that happened in the past give you insight into what has shaped both Jake and Claire. Initially, both main characters were quite unkind in what was thought and said before they got to know each other – it has to be said that their friends were worse, to the point it seemed quite cruel on occasion, even though we discover that there are possibly other reasons for the negativity and dislike….
I really enjoy a dual POV and finding out what makes each character tick…. Through the story both Jake and Claire develop and they begin to look at the other in a different light.

I liked Jake’s coach and how he, along with Claire after a while, knew there was more to Jake than he believed and that they cared enough to make him see it for himself.

I would have liked an epilogue to see how things worked out but that’s my only issue to be honest.
A well written, enjoyable story (when I didn’t want to smack one or three of the characters!!) I’m looking forward to reading more books from Tia soon.

Synopsis:

Shannon Hale knows what she wants in life. Or so she thought.

But one cheating fiancé and shredded wedding dress later, she skips town desperately needing a do-over. So she moves in with her brother, the new quarterback for the Raleigh Rough Riders, starts her own business, and vows to live by her own rules and no one else’s.

Oliver Powell is a man who always gets what he wants. As the sexy as sin MVP Tight End, he’s arrogant. He’s loaded. He’s also got a sizable package below the belt that drives the women crazy.

And he’s focused. The prize—a Super Bowl ring on his finger.

His concentration on getting that ring is unwavering—until Shannon Hale shows up. Now the only game he wants to win involves her ending up in his bed.

The problem? Shannon wants nothing to do with NFL’s resident playboy.

The solution? Play dirty.

BLP REVIEW ~ Tracy

Stacey Lynn is a new to me author but one who’s back list I will definitely be checking out!

Dirty Player was a hot, sexy and fun read. I really liked both Oliver and Shannon.

Oliver was arrogant and very confident – given his reputation and success you could get why he was like that – but was also extremely caring and protective of Shannon once they were together. Shannon was feisty, determined, loyal and a lot of fun. She’d given up a lot to help her brother Beaux achieve his dream of being a professional football player. Both had trust issues – both completely understandable – so they had some common ground to start with.
Neither thinking the other was what they were looking for, their initial getting together was only supposed to be short term… but the longer they spent in each others company and the more they got to know each other (in and out of bed!!), ending things when they were just starting was never gonna be on the cards.

There were some great supporting characters that were likeable, relatable and fun and I would love to find out more about them. The exes, gods, if I could have reached into my kindle and throat punched them, I would have done it, both were horrible folk!

Well written, with a fantastic epilogue, Dirty Player was a really great, engaging read that I would definitely recommend and I rate 4*.

BLOG TOUR ~ Draw Play by Tia Lewis

Blurb

I can’t believe my coach assigned me a tutor. I’m all that on the field and between the sheets—who cares about my stupid grades?But Claire doesn’t treat me like I’m dumb. When we’re not busy fighting, she actually encourages me. And with those sexy curves of hers, I know just how to thank her.

Claire:
I hate football players, but I need the money. Jake is just as cocky and arrogant as the worst of them … but his touch sets me on fire.

I have to believe he’s different, that he won’t use me and break my heart.
Because I can’t stop wanting him. I just hope I survive the ride.

Excerpt

Her hands tangled in my hair, pulling me closer to her. I made a noise of surprise—she almost attacked me. She was desperate for it, for me. There was something about that, something hot. She needed me. I would give her exactly what she needed.
I hated myself for giving in so easy, even as I kissed my way down her body. She moaned, and didn’t stop me when I peeled away the sheets. The sight of her, all of her, had me hard in no time. I had to be inside her. I had to be. She had to open herself to me.
I ran a hand down her body, skimming her curves, taking her in. The narrow waist. The round hips. The firm thigh and calf. Then up again. My fingers caressed her, drawing sighs from deep in her throat.
“Yes,” I whispered. “Let me make you feel good.”
She whimpered then, visibly relaxed. I had her where I wanted her, and the thought made my cock throb again.
 

BLP REVIEW ~ TRACY

This is the first book from Tia Lewis, and while the characters were a bit younger than others I’ve read lately, I really enjoyed the story.

I liked that there was more to Jake and he wasn’t just your atypical college jock, even though that’s how he initially came across. To an extent he didn’t ‘fit in’ when it came to the rest of his team mates but from the outside you’d think he was exactly like them.
Claire hung with the geeky group and had preconceived ideas of the kind of guy Jake was when she signed up to tutor him – not helped by the fact that she hated footballers.
She was smart, studious and hard working, he was football mad, not too interested in studying and focusing on his grades and you’d never think this pair would get along.

When the tutoring starts they definitely don’t hit it off right away, they snark and argue back and forth pretty much every time they are together but as they start to spend time together you begin to see a different side to both characters and they begin to connect – in fact, after a while they connect really well!!!

Outside factors in the shape of family and friends and things that happened in the past give you insight into what has shaped both Jake and Claire. Initially, both main characters were quite unkind in what was thought and said before they got to know each other – it has to be said that their friends were worse, to the point it seemed quite cruel on occasion, even though we discover that there are possibly other reasons for the negativity and dislike….

I liked Jake’s coach and how he, along with Claire after a while, knew there was more to Jake than he believed and that they cared enough to make him see it for himself.

I would have liked an epilogue to see how things worked but that’s my only issue to be honest.
A well written, enjoyable story (when I didn’t want to smack one or three of the characters!!) I’m looking forward to reading more books from Tia soon.
