BLOG TOUR ~ Coming Up Roses (Southern Roots #1) by LK Farlow

Sep 7

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: Coming Up Roses

Series: Southern Roots #1
Author: LK Farlow

Genre: NA Romance

Release Date: August 30, 2017

Myla Rose McGraw may be twenty, single, and pregnant, but she’s no damsel in distress. She doesn’t need a man. After all, her Grams taught her a thing or two about making lemonade out of life’s lemons.

Then she meets Cash Carson.

Reeling from a bad breakup, Cash has sworn off love. It led to nothing but pain and misery, and he’s determined to move forward alone.
Until a redheaded Southern beauty crashes into him. With her shopping cart. At the local Piggly Wiggly.

If love wasn’t for him, why did his heart beat a little faster every time Myla Rose sent that sweet smile his way?

He was no knight, and she didn’t need saving.

But damn if he didn’t want to try anyway.

COMING UP ROSES is a sweet, Southern fairy tale—with a twist.

I liked the blurb for Coming Up Roses and wanted to know how things could work out for Cash and Myla.

The fact that our main man fell for a pregnant gal didn’t bother me in the slightest, let’s face it, anyone can be a sperm donor (as we discover when we meet Myla’s ex!) but sometimes it takes a better person to be a dad. Both our leads have had crappy past experience with partners so it makes sense that they are both a little wary about getting into another relationship.

I loved Cash’s determination to win M over once he decided what he wanted while a couple of other times I wanted to brain him for being so bloody minded and blinkered!
Myla was pretty determined, knew her own mind and was determined to do what was best for her and her baby. She had a great support system in her friends and I really liked her memories of her grandmother and the sass that she had so obviously picked up from the old lady.

Coming Up Roses was a sweet, southern romance with heat, an interesting and engaging story thread and it was, in my opinion, a really good debut novel from L.K. Farlow.
I’m looking forward to more in the series with the couples you could see would likely get together while reading Myla & Cash’s story!

3.95 stars – I have to admit that there was one little thing that did start to get to me the further on I read and that was Cash’s nigh on constant use of ‘darlin’ when he was talking to his lady!

She grasps my hand, and like an instant replay from dinner, her body slides down mine. The contact is somehow more intimate than it was earlier, making her cheeks turn a pretty shade of pink, only noticeable due to the moonlight peeking between the branches of the oak tree in her yard.

“Okay, Cash.” Her voice is nothing more than a rasp.

We make it to the porch, and the inner battle begins. Is she expecting a kiss, or will she slap me for trying, what with how our last kiss ended? I war with myself a little longer before settling on a hug. A nice, safe hug.

“Well, goodnight then,” she whispers, looking down as I start to pull away.

Is that disappointment I hear in her voice? Well, hell. I can’t have that.

Keeping my right arm around her waist, I bring my left hand to her cheek, placing my thumb just below her jaw. Using that position, I pull her closer to me.

“It was a good night indeed, Myla Rose,” I murmur just before I press my lips to hers.

Her lips are soft, so damn soft, even more so than I remember. I nip at her bottom lip, causing her lips to part. I use that small opening to deepen the kiss, and Myla Rose digs her nails into the base of my neck.

Slipping my hand from her waist and down over the curve of her hip, I hike her dress up and settle it on the smooth bare skin just under her ass, pulling her closer—closer—closer. Trailing my fingertips across her cheek and through her hair, I tug on it just a little, just like I’d imagined doing at the start of our night.

Damn, she likes that. It’s like I flipped a switch. She’s no longer kissing me—she’s devouring me.

I hoist her up, and she wraps her legs around my waist. The front door is the only thing keeping us upright. I press my hips into hers, showing her just how much I want her before pulling her hair again. She throws her head back, hitting it on the door with a loud thump.

That breaks the spell. She lowers her legs and untangles herself from me, and I step back, unsure of what comes next. Is she going to ask me in or send me on my way?

“Do . . . do you want to come in?” She looks up at me expectantly.

“Lead the way, darlin’,” I rasp out—because really, is there any other response?

LK Farlow (A.K.A Kate) is a small town girl with a love for words. She’s been writing stories and poems for as long she can remember. A Southern girl through and through, Kate resides in beautiful, sunny LA—that’s Lower Alabama, y’all—with her amazing husband and three wonderful children. When she’s not writing, you can find her snuggled up on the couch watching nature documentaries while she crochets or with her nose in a book. All Kate really wants in this life is her family happy, strong coffee, a good book and more Happily Ever After’s.

RELEASE BLITZ ~ For the Love of Beard (The Dixie Warden Rejects #7) by Lani Lyn Vale

Aug 26

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: For The Love Of Beard
Series: The Dixie Warden Rejects #7

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: MC Romance

Release Date: August 25, 2017

Photographer: Furious Fotog

Model: Golden Czermak

Tobias knows that women are a lot of trouble, and one in particular is more trouble than most. Yet even with the knowledge that she’s a pain in the ass, he doesn’t stop himself from doing the one thing he knows that he shouldn’t do—fall in love with her.

It’s supposed to be simple. Get in, get the girl, and get out.

What Tobias isn’t supposed to do is fall for the woman he’s supposed to rescue. But he can’t help being intrigued–and amused–by the defiance rolling off Audrey every time he so much as speaks to her. This fascination only intensifies with every single word from her delectable mouth.

***

It’s been six years since her assault, yet it feels like it happened just yesterday. Audrey’s sick and tired of feeling so useless. She’s had enough of being scared, she’s doesn’t want to be all alone for the rest of her life. All of that boils down to a woman who’s had enough of not doing anything to reclaim her life.

She’s at a loss as to how to move on, and every attempt she makes results in failure. Just when she’s ready to quit, a sexy biker is there to push her out of her comfort zone.

Under Tobias’ patient guidance, Audrey slowly makes her way back to herself. She lands a job that she adores, and she thinks she’s finally found her place in this world. Most surprisingly, though, she finds herself falling in love with a man that honestly scares her to death.

Just when she vows to take that final step that’ll put her past in her past forever, the life she wants to live is yanked away. Leaving her with nothing to pick up the pieces.

Sweet baby gee….. I love, Love, LOVE these books!
The final instalment in the DWR series is a fanbloodytastic end to what is without doubt one of my favourite series of books from
Lani Lynn Vale.

Tobias (don’t call me Fender) and Audrey were a wonderful read. I tore through their story in a day and could hardly put my kindle down.

Following all of the awful things that happened to Audrey at the hands of her parents you’d think the gal would have no capacity to trust or love, and truth be told, she herself didn’t think she was capable of a relationship but then along came Tobias. He brought out the best in her, he was funny, patient, caring and attentive. He slowly drew her out of her comfort zone and reintroduced her to the world. Audrey was a great character. She was sweet, caring, fun and quirky and I took to her immediately.

Fender/Tobias was a complete sweetheart (in a total bad ass way of course!). His feelings for Audrey weren’t something he hid from but knowing her history he took his time, gave her room to think and adjust to his presence and lordy, was that time worth it!! This pair were seriously smokin’ hot in the naughtiest of ways!!! Keep a fan or icepack ready for some of those scenes!! 😉

Tobias had some stuff happen in his past that came back to haunt him and put his relationship with Audrey at risk. Some of the things that went on I was a little ‘WTFH is this’ but I could see where and why things went the way they did.

A fantastic read, and while I’m sorry that this series has come to an end, I’m hoping that we catch up with the Dixie Warden Reject crew and their significant others in future books from Lani!

For The Love Of Beard gets 5 well deserved, beard loving stars!!!

COVER REVEAL ~ Burn in Hail (Hail Raisers #3) by Lani Lynn Vale

Aug 24

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: Burn in Hail

Series: Hail Raisers #3

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: MC Romance

Release Date: November 17, 2017
Cover Model: Tyler Halligan
Photographer: Wander Aguiar Photography

One look at the sixteen-year-old, prim and proper town goody-two-shoes, Hennessy Hanes, and Tate Casey knows he’s in trouble. He knows he should stay away from the preacher’s daughter, but there’s something about her he’s drawn to, and he can’t resist the pull.

The more he gets to know her, the more he realizes that something isn’t right. He may not be able put his finger on what it is, but he’s determined to find out what’s going on with the girl with the haunted eyes.

Tate didn’t anticipate that someone else would be just as determined to keep Hennessy’s nightmare a secret, and he never realizes just how far that person is willing go to keep those skeletons in the closet until it’s too late.

With the very real threat of jail time hanging over his head, Tate leaves without a backwards glance at the town or the girl. The problem is that out-of-sight doesn’t necessarily mean out of mind, and it’s Tate who’s now haunted by his decision and memories of Hennessy.

***

Hennessy Hanes knows better than anyone that not everything is always as it appears to be. After years of being on the receiving end of her squeaky-clean preacher father’s abuse, she seizes an opportunity to leave it all behind and runs.

Her only regret is that in walking away she loses any chance with the one person who tried to save her.

***

Fast forward ten years, and they’re both back where they started.

Tate was never a good boy, and it turns out that the man he’s now grown into isn’t all that much better. Anger is a living, breathing part of him, and there’s a court order forcing him to seek help from the one person he’s never forgotten.

Hennessy never thought she’d see Tate Casey again, and certainly not on her couch. But now it’s her turn to save him, and there are rules she must follow as his psychologist, not to mention a court order instructing her to help him manage his anger. If she doesn’t follow those rules, he’ll end up back in jail.

Tate Casey has never been a man who followed the rules, and Hennessy is no longer the straight-laced, timid preacher’s daughter she once was.

His hands may be tied, so it looks like for the first time in Hennessy’s life, she’ll be the one breaking the rules for the chance to finally get what she’s always wanted. Him.

Aug 23

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: Beard Mode

Series: The Dixie Wardens Rejects MC Series #1

by Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: MC Romance

Release Date: February 23, 2017

Aaron don’t ever call me Fatbaby’ Sims is lucky to be alive. Or at least that is what everyone keeps telling him. He doesn’t feel lucky, though.

He’s scarred, has more than a little bit of a bad attitude, and there isn’t a single day that goes by that he doesn’t wish his wife would’ve just finished off the job.

After being denied his old position at the fire department, he leaves, and doesn’t look back. He heads straight to Alabama and into the semi-welcoming arms of The Dixie Wardens MC. There he becomes a part of a brotherhood that forces him to get back in the land of the living.

—

Imogen is a smart girl. A girl who doesn’t always make the best decisions.

Her heart is in the right place when she walks into that prison, but it doesn’t take long for her to realize that her heart shouldn’t have had any say so in the matter. Especially when one wrong move lands her in the arms of a scarred man that looks frightening enough to scare any sane woman away.

Immediately enthralled by the angry man, she tries to get closer to him. But the harder she tries to get to know him, the further he pushes her away.

—

The only thing Aaron wanted to do after his now ex-wife was sent to jail was escape. Escape the awful memories. The pity-filled eyes. The curious glances.

He does a damn fine job at ensuring he draws as little as attention as possible, but then that annoying woman with her startling blue eyes starts hammering away at his resolve. Makes him feel when he doesn’t want to feel.

Imogen comes into his life and carves out a place for herself, obliterating his defenses one heated kiss at a time.

It doesn’t take long, and he realizes he’s in deep. Too deep to ever want to come out.

Imogen will know what it’s like to be loved by a reject.

Aaron and Imogen, a playlist by Lani Lynn Vale on Spotify

“New guy.” Someone muttered behind me.

I turned only my head to find Stone, the president, staring at me with hard eyes.

“Yeah?” I asked him, dropping my bag on the floor and heading in his direction instead of out the door like I’d originally intended.

“You’re here because you have a special set of skills that we need.” The leader of the band of misfits, Stone, drawled.

I nearly laughed.

“That sounds like a bad line out of a movie.” I muttered, wondering where he was going with this.

He tossed me a glare and then yelled.

“Truth!” Stone yelled. “Ghost! Get the fuck in here!”

Ghost and Truth walked in the door at the same time, both of them turning to the side to walk inside, and stared at Stone

“Ghost, hold Truth down so New Guy can give him the fuckin’ shot.” Stone grumbled.

Ghost tackled Truth and wrestled him to the desk, then sat on him while Stone leaned back and watched.

“No, motherfucker!” Truth yelled. “I don’t want it!”

“It’s the fuckin’ flu shot, you dumb shit. Not a fuckin’ tracking device. Take a fuckin’ chill pill.” Stone grumbled, staring at the scuffle that was going down in front of him.

I picked up the syringe from the table, similar to the one I’d given everybody else’s flu shot with, and stabbed it in the meat of Truth’s arm.

Truth bellowed in rage, and I flipped the guard up on the syringe before tossing it into the trash can.

“Done?” I asked Stone. “I have to get to work.”

Stone nodded.

“Yeah, thanks.” He nodded. “Have fun at the nut house.”

I grunted something unintelligible, causing him to laugh.

“Don’t sound so excited.” He laughed.

I flipped him off and walked out the door just as Ghost was letting Truth up

“Why you gotta be such a big motherfucker?” Truth growled. “If you’d been anyone else, I’d have gotten away.”

“Why do you think I called Ghost instead of anyone else?” I heard Stone reply.

AMAZON REVIEW TOUR ~ A Change of View (The Northern Lights Collection #2) by Freya Barker

Aug 16

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: A Change of View

Series: The Northern Lights Collection

Author: Freya Barker

Genre: Romantic Suspense Standalone

Release Date: August 16, 2017
Cover Designer: Rebel Edit & Design

What if one morning you look in the mirror and no longer recognize the person looking back?

When Leelo can no longer identify herself by the roles that once defined her, it’s both terrifying and liberating. Oh, she feels the loss, the grief, and then the anger, but when she inherits property up north, she jumps at the promise of freedom and independence.

Yet not everyone in her new community is what they seem, starting with the surly mountain man down the road.

As owner of the local fishing lodge, Roar is content with his everyday life. And the older he gets, the less he appreciates change. So when a blue-haired, tattooed ‘city girl’ moves into the old motel, shaking up his daily routine, he’s none too pleased.

Still, something about the woman’s easy smile and almost reckless grit has him step up as her keeper.

I slap my thigh where a mosquito just bit me. I wipe at another one that lands on my arm, and pretty soon the buzzing is loud around my head, and I’m frantically waving my hand around my face. A blood-sucking army is out tonight, and I scramble to my feet, snatch up the now empty bottle, and hustle toward the sanctuary of my house.
My heart lodges in my throat when I see a figure detach itself from the shadows of the porch.
“Was wondering how long it would fucking take before you came running.”
I bend over, gasping to get air in my lungs, when I hear the voice.
“I swear, Riordan Doyle…one day you’ll be the death of me.”
“Not what I had in mind,” he chuckles easily, as he grabs my arm, drags me inside, and out of the way of the charging mosquitoes.
“What are you doing here?” I ask, as he takes the bottle from my hand, sets it on the counter, and pulls me into my living room. There he drops down on the threadbare couch and tugs me down beside him. “I thought you went home?”
“I did,” he confirms, throwing his arm over my shoulder and tugging me to his chest. “And I was just putting my feet up on the coffee table when I realized I didn’t want to be there.”
“No?”
“No,” he repeats. “Couldn’t relax. Started thinking about this…thing…between us. And you know what? Waiting for the right time is for the fucking birds.”
“It is?”
“It absolutely fucking is,” he says with conviction, curving his free hand along my jaw and turning my face toward him.
His hazel eyes are almost black in the scarce light of my living room, his heavy-lidded gaze roaming my features before settling on my lips.
“I’m thinking right now sounds like the right time.”
I can feel the deep rumble of his voice down to my toes, and my own drops a few octaves lower as well.
“You do?” I mutter breathlessly as his head bends down.
It’s clear from my distinctly unimaginative responses that my brain cells have signed off for the day. I’m starting to sound like a goddamn parrot, but Roar doesn’t give me time to linger on that thought. His mouth is already on mine and his tongue is demanding entry.
One moment I’m tucked beside him on the couch, and the next I’m on my back, Roar’s heavy frame covering me, his lips still firmly fused to mine. Good God the man can kiss.

Feck but Ms Freya can write!I adore her books, the imagery she presents makes you feel like you’re in the middle of the story, watching everything unfold in front of you.
The storylines are action packed, with just the right amount of suspense, drama and angst while also packed with so much raw emotion, affection, humour, attraction and heat (dear gods the heat – and I’m not just talking about the temperature in Wawa!!!)
Slightly older characters with baggage, issues, vulnerabilities, flaws et al that come across as real, believable and so very relatable!!I nigh on inhaled A Change of View, putting my kindle down only when it was absolutely necessary – but that’s pretty much what Freya Barkers books do to me… I’m an addict when it comes to her work!

FLOVED Lilith (Leelo) and Roar!!!!

5 well deserved stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Freya Barker inspires with her stories about ‘real’ people, perhaps less than perfect, each struggling to find their own slice of happy. She is the author of the Cedar Tree Series and the Portland, ME, novels.

Freya is the recipient of the RomCon “Reader’s Choice” Award for best first book, “Slim To None,” and is a finalist for the 2016 Kindle Book Awards for “From Dust”. She currently has two complete series and three anthologies published, and is working on two new series; La Plata County FBI—ROCK POINT, and Northern Lights. She continues to spin story after story with an endless supply of bruised and dented characters, vying for attention!

REVIEW TOUR ~ Beard Up (The Dixie Warden Rejects MC #6) by Lani Lynn Vale

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: Beard Up

Series: The Dixie Warden Rejects MC #6
Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: July 27, 2017
Cover Mode: Chase Ketron
Photographer: FuriousFotog

5 Star Amazon Review – “Perfection! The definition of true love and sacrifice! ALL THE STARS!!!!”

5 Star Amazon Review – “My best book of 2017”

5 Star Amazon Review – “** Sweet Jesus– Couldn’t put it down ** Absolutely LOVED IT!!!”

Ghost [gohst] noun: the soul of a dead person, a disembodied, vague, shadowy spirit wandering among or haunting living persons; a mere shadow or semblance; a trace.That noun sums up Ghost and what his life has become with painful precision. He is barely living, merely existing but never thriving. There wasn’t much that could pull him from the darkness he willingly inhabits…except one thing. Her.

She is the reason he’s done what he’s done, and his life has become what it has become.

He haunts his former life, lurking in the background, surviving on occasional glimpses of the only thing good that is left in his miserable life. The horror he has inflicted upon her is nothing compared to the terror that waits for her when someone moves in to take her from him.

The thing about being stuck in the past is that it is like walking through life backwards. She is always looking back, so she doesn’t see what is happening in front of her. Unfortunately for her, it turns out that the ghosts of the past aren’t nearly as terrifying as the monsters of the future.

They say that true love is like a ghost, something that many talk about but few have seen. It’s a good thing for that, too, because he’ll need that element of surprise to protect her. Hopefully when the dust settles, he’ll be able to resurrect more than just himself.

OMG…. I bloody loved this book!!!

I’m not gonna say much about the story, you get the gist of it in the blurb and there’s no way I’m gonna be spilling the beans on our main mans real name – if you’re a fan of Lani’s books you’ll also have been waiting for Ghost’s story and hell, what a story it was.

I adored him in this book. Previously we’ve seen a dark, brooding, quiet but scary man but in Beard Up, we saw a few different sides to him. His story was heartbreaking, hellish and tough to read about at times but the heartache and upset you feel is well worth it.

We caught up with some favourite faces from previous books, were better acquainted with a couple of newer characters and that, combined with the suspense, twists and turns, heartache, pain and humour made for an excellent read and in my opinion, the best book in the series to date (though I think I feel that with ever book that Lani Lynn Vale brings out in her series!)

I’m so looking forward to the next book in the series.

A definite, well deserved 5* rating for this fantastic read

💜💜💜💜💜
