Andi Jaxon
Raised all over the USA, Andi Jaxon is an interesting mix of East Coast meets West Coast with a little bit of Southern thrown in, just for good measure. She drinks too much coffee until it’s late enough to drink too much wine and while her husband is defending his country, Andi is sexually frustrated for your freedom. If you see Andi online, she is probably sitting in a closet, hiding from her kids.
AJ Alexander
Fluent in sarcasm, Supernatural, and song lyrics, AJ Alexander likes talking to people and finding what makes them tick, though that probably has more to do with her Psychology degree. Being married to a man in uniform means she has lived in a lot of places, survived seeing her husband for half the amount of time I’ve been married, and spent a lot of time raising her kids alone. AJ loves to write messed up psychos with lots of angst and happily ever afters that have to be worked for. Women with sass and backbone, men with a twisted hero complex and the need to control are
her favorite to read as well as write.

Synopsis:

Truth: From over a thousand miles away, I watched on the screen of my phone as two men murdered my wife. And I was helpless to save her.

Consumed by hate and rage, I spent four years running from my memories.

Until a shattered woman gave me a reason to stop.

Cora lived in a nightmare, but through sheer force of will, she’d turned it into something beautiful. She had a smile that could pierce the darkest soul. And with one glance, she shredded mine.

Lie: I was only there for a fresh start.

Lie: I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

Lie: There was nothing I could do to save her, either.

But that’s the thing about lies—you never know who to believe.

RELEASE BLITZ ~ Too Bad, So Sad (The Simple Man series #5) by Lani Lynn Vale

 

Title: Too Bad So Sad
Series: The Simple Man #5
Author: Lani Lynn Vale

 

Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: August 8, 2018

Tyler Cree has never been good at the whole look and don’t touch thing.
 
From the moment he was old enough to walk on his own two feet, he’s been looking for trouble.
 
Trouble comes in many forms…quite a few of those forms being the female persuasion.
 
Tyler knows what girls want—a bad boy. And he has the bad boy image down pat.
 
Ex-military—check.
 
Hot cop—double check.
 
A bike between his legs and a devil may care attitude—oh, yeah.
 
All the girls want him, yet none of them will have him—at least not all of him, anyway. A certain appendage they can have all they want. His heart, however, is not up for grabs. The useless organ inside his chest was broken and battered, mutilated by the one woman he thought would keep it safe.
 
Spoiler alert: she ripped it to shreds and set fire to the pieces.
 
To protect himself, Tyler keeps everyone at arm’s length, and never lets anyone get too close.
 
Then Reagan Rose Alvarez barrels into his life, and trespasses on not only his property, but straight into his abused heart. One glance is all it takes, and he’s suddenly thinking about things he hasn’t thought for quite some time—thoughts that a man like him should never have about a woman like her.
 
One moment of weakness is all it takes, and suddenly he has no other choice but to go on the offensive.
 
Keeping her is the only other option now.
 
Turns out, his heart isn’t as broken as he thought it was.
The only problem is, now the little she-devil holds it in the palm of her hands, and she has no clue just how much power she holds.







So yep, I did it again….. devoured another Lani Lynn Vale book in one sitting!!
I’m beginning to think I’ve got an addiction to this lady and her stories..hell, no need to think about it. I’ve got a serious case of must read whenever Lani brings out a new read!

Too Bad, So Sad is the 5th book in the Simple Man series and it was a fun, hot, action packed read that was chock full of chemistry and sexual attraction that I’ve come to expect from Ms Vale.

I really liked Tyler Cree, even though he came across as a bit of a jerk the first couple of times he ran into Reagan. Once he admitted to himself how much he liked her and that he couldn’t stay away from her his protective side really kicked into gear even though he didn’t think he could trust or feeling something for a female ever again. We find out exactly why he’s so hellbent on not moving thing forward with Reagan and I liked how that side of the story panned out.

Reagan Alvarez was a little bit of a nut case….in a good way! Passionate about her job, she gets blinkered when focused on what she wants to do and ends up finding herself in some sort of trouble most of the time – which is exactly the case when it comes to her first encounter with Tyler….
She didn’t want to like him given how he’d been with her and due to the fact that she’d had enough of controlling assholes in her life, but there was no denying the attraction she had to him and once she decided she wasn’t gonna let him forget about her it was game on!

I love the inclusion of characters from earlier in this and other series and reading TBSS made me want to go reread more than a few of Lani’s previous books.

A definite recommended read that I’m rating 4.5*

RELEASE BLITZ ~ Mixed Up Love by Natasha Madison

 

 


Hunter

When my business partner asked me to do him a favor, I had no idea he was sending me on a blind date his mother arranged for him. I walked in the bar, saw the woman drinking her third martini, and knew I was in for an eventful night.

After the unexpected second date, she didn’t know my real name or who I really was. By that time, the lie was too far gone, and I wanted her too much to admit the truth.

Laney

It’s not every day you find out your ex-boyfriend is engaged.

I shouldn’t have agreed to the blind date. My mother insisted, and I wasn’t in any position to turn down a night out.

I will admit, I definitely shouldn’t have ordered that fourth martini before said blind date even arrived.

The man turned out to be swoon worthy, handsome, condescending—a perfect distraction. Then I found out he was a liar.

I’ve never been in over my head to this degree.

Then again, I’ve never been in love.

ADD TO YOUR TBR TODAY!


BLURB

I often wondered if Vengeance came with a price. I never cared, not after the torture I’ve endured.
For me, Vengeance is best served through the eyes of my scope. The twitch of my finger. The pull of a trigger.
The death of someone who deserves to die.
Revenge, retribution, and retaliation are all that comes to mind.
Cruel and brutal punishment for the hell inflicted on my family is all I’ve ever been able to think about.
The betrayal fresh in mind years later, reminding me of the day my world came crashing down.
I lost everything.
The woman I loved.
My sister.
My parents.
Myself.
You know what else I say about Vengeance?
It’s best served frozen.
No side dish of compassion. No extra helping of warning.
No dessert called a second chance.
The price I want for it.
Is written in blood.

RELEASE BLITZ ~ Bucking Bronco (Sugar County Boys #1) by Madison Faye

Title: Bucking Bronco
Series: Sugar County Boys #1
Author: Madison Faye

 

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 6, 2018

 

Blurb
Big hat, big gun. Long, thick…rope.
The biggest stud on the stallion ranch has his eyes on one lucky lady,
And if she wants to save a horse? Well, he’s got more “cowboy” than she’s ever ridden before.
Rough, wild, and ready to buck all night.
I never needed much after I left my rodeo circuit days behind. Just me, my land, my horses, and my peace and fucking quiet.
But that’s before she comes crashing into my world like a wild filly.
Prettier than a country rose and fiercer than Kentucky moonshine. I’ve got her tied up good and tight after I mistake her for a horse thief. But one look at those big dark eyes, those legs that won’t quit, and those soft curves that beg to be held, and I’m not sure I’ll ever let her go.
I know I should stay away from a tempting, teasing little city girl like Tara Stokes. I know she works for the family on the other side of a blood feud from mine. But I also know one taste of those pouty lips and all I want to do is make her mine.
This little spitfire needs taming. Lucky for her, she’s shacked up with the biggest cowboy in Sugar County.
Cause country boys do it better. Country boys do it harder. And country boys can go all night log.
Tara might not know that yet.
…Oh, but she’s gonna.

COVER REVEAL ~ Going Down on One Knee by Christina Hovland

Going Down on One Knee

by Christina Hovland

Publication Date: October 15, 2018
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Preorder:
Amazon

About the book:

Number-crunching Velma Johnson’s perfectly planned life is right on course.

That’s a lie. Sure, she’s got the lucrative job. She’s got the posh apartment. But her sister nabbed Velma’s Mr. Right. There has to be a man out there for Velma. Hopefully one who’s hunky, wears pressed suits, and has a diversified financial portfolio. He’ll be exactly like, well… her sister’s new fiancé.

Badass biker Brek Montomery blazes a trail across the country, managing Dimefront, one of the biggest rock bands of his generation. With the band on hiatus, Brek rolls into Denver to pay a quick visit to his family and friends. But when Brek’s sister suddenly gets put on bed rest, she convinces Brek to take over her wedding planning business for the duration of her pregnancy.

Staying in Denver and dealing with bridezillas was not what Brek had in mind when he passed through town, but there is one particular maid-of-honor who might make his stay worthwhile.

Velma finds herself strangely attracted to the man planning her sister’s wedding.

Problem is, he ticks none of the boxes on her well-crafted list. Brek is rough around the edges, he cusses, and doesn’t even have a 401(k). But trying something crazy might get her out of the rut of her dating life—so long as she lays down boundaries up front and sticks to her plan…
