New Release & Review!!! Lord Have Mercy— Lani Lynn Vale!!!

Oh Camryn, what a tangled web you weave for yourself, you poor girl! Just when she thinks she’s gotten her uncontrollable attraction to Flint under control, it flares up when she least expects it.

What she never expects though, is that Flint is fighting that battle just as hard. And, oh how HARD it is.....

The sexual tension with these two is off the charts. They hate each other. At least that’s what they try so very hard to believe. But it’s just part of the dance. The dance that goes from school, to CrossFit, to bed.

Now, I do have to say that as hilarious as Raleigh and Ezra wee in their book- Camryn and Flint just might have them beat. These two their banter is gold. Total comedic genius. Especially when it involves the wicked witch Nivea, or the hapless twit Carver.

However hilarious this one is- there are also some incredibly tense moments, ones that will make you bite your nails and tear up, but trust LLV to pull you through. It’s a fabulous book, and I’m dying to see who’s up next!!

Poor judgment: knowing better yet doing it anyway.

Flint Stone is a professional in every way.

He’s a police officer with the K-9 unit and works at Gun Barrel High as the school resource officer. In his spare time, he’s working his heart out to create a successful gym from the ground up.

He’s loved by every single person he ever encounters—student, faculty, and employees—Everyone but Camryn Elvis Presley.

The only thing they have in common is their mothers’ poor excuses for names.
Period. The end.

So why is it every time she crosses his path that he has the urge to mess up her perfectly curled hair? Or unbutton a few of her prim and proper buttons?

He knows he should stay away, yet like the high schoolers he’s around every day, he has no choice but to react first and think about the consequences later.

Side note—bad decisions are made, leading to lapses in judgment that threaten both of their jobs. Yet when the time comes, neither one can seem to find the wherewithal to care. Why? Because being bad feels so good.

New Release & Review!!! Wed to the Warrior— Madison Faye!!!

Well, it looks like there IS someone to curb this kitty’s claws, after all. It just took a Highland Lord to do it.

Lord Callum Bruce that is.

And what a lord he is!!

A warrior is the perfect way to describe him. Hardened from his years of fighting the crusades in the Holy Wars, next to his friends Hamish and Malcolm, he’s now come to realize that he’s got one more fight that he needs to win. The fight for the woman he intends to wed- Catriona. The one woman in Scotland that seems determined NOT to take a husband.

She’s scared away nine suitors prior to Callum- NINE.

Every single one immediately withdrawing their proposal after a few moments of conversation with the strong willed beauty. Feisty to her core- Cat has turned everyone away. Until Callum.

Something about this man calls to her on a baser level- a primal need that she can’t explain. And that’s what scares her more than anything. The fact that she CAN’T scare him away.

Callum Bruce ain’t going anywhere.

This man knows exactly what he wants, and when Cat runs- he chases. And oh my gosh, y’all- what a freaking chase it is. This one is the hottest of the series so far, with a garden scene that’s gonna set your bodice on fire.

I cannot wait to see what’s next for Rhona and Tor, because I’m literally salivating for their story, and now I’m also curious about what Madison has up her sleeve for Iona as well.....

Title: Wed to the Warrior
Series: Kilts & Kisses #3
Author: Madison Faye

Genre: Wildly historically inaccurate
Highlander historical romance

Release Date: April 22, 2019

Blurb

Other would-be suitors called me “challenging”.

But the most undeniable, sinfully gorgeous Highlander lord around calls me a challenge.

Oh and he calls me something else, too: his.

Marriage has never been in the plans for me. Not with my reputation for being “headstrong” and “disobedient”. That is, until Lord Callum Bruce barges into my world and scatters those plans all over the place.

But Lord Bruce is a brute of a man. A battle-hardened soldier and fierce, dominant Highland lord. Well, that and completely beautiful, which is so very, very unfair.

When he tells me I’m to be his wife, I flee. But there’s no running from the most dominant, gorgeous, sinfully tempting man I’ve ever met.

Not after I’ve had a teasing taste of those perfect lips. Not when I’ve felt those rough hands on me. Not when deep down, I want him to chase me.

…Not when deep down, I want him to take all of me.

The first kiss was a mistake. The second was stolen. But the ones after that, I’ve run out of excuses for.

I’ve scared nine would-be-suitors away. But something tells me, number ten isn’t going anywhere.

Passionate about plaid? Step into something wild, filthy, and tropey as all get-out. Hot, alpha af, and WILDLY historically inaccurate. Warning: not responsible for lost or ripped bodices. Reader beware.

As with all my books, this one is safe, with no cheating, and a HEA guaranteed.

New Release & Review!!! Stolen by the Scottish Rogue!!! Madison Faye!!!

Finally Malcolm and Ailith get their chance to shine!! I just knew this one was gonna be a good one. I could tell that Ailith wasn't going to go down quietly.

Not that she didn't love being coveted and lusted after by the handsome Lord Malcolm, and absolutely hate the idea of her "betrothed", but she still couldn't stand the idea of anyone delegating her life for her. She had a fire in her that was not about to be distinguished. Little did she know that was one of the things that drew Malcolm to her the most.

So what was a Lord to do when the woman of his dreams was about to marry a vile man that he detested? Well, steal her of course!!

And let the fireworks fly from that moment on. And fly they did.

This one was just as wonderful as the first of the book- Tamed by the Highlander, and only made me want Cat and Rhona's story even more- maybe Rhona's a little more, because come on- who doesn't want to know what's going on with Tor Odinson???

I sure do!!

I love this group of women- true feisty heroines, and the men that love them- totally swoonworthy, but god love them for putting up with these women.

And Tor, he just may be my favorite of all, y'all. Oh yes, I'm thinking he just might.

Honestly, it’s just common sense: don’t ever, for any reason, fall in love with a pirate.

No matter how tempting or toe-curlingly gorgeous he is.

And especially not when he steals you from your own wedding…

One minute, I’m being married off to a horrible, cruel man to sweeten a family business arrangement. And the next? My wedding yacht is being stolen, with me on it, by the powerful, roguish Highlander, Lord Malcolm McAuley.

Former pirate. Ex-soldier. Full-time scoundrel. He also happens to be toe-curlingly gorgeous, sinfully tempting, and utterly irresistible.

I should want nothing to do with the crude, filthy-talking alpha who’s stolen me from my own damn wedding. But the more I tell myself no, the more I want to tell him yes—to anything he wants…

Anything.

Losing myself in those piercing blue eyes and wickedly perfect lips is dangerous. Giving in to his filthy words and pulse-quickening touch is a sin. He tells me I’m his, and the most sinful thing of all?

…I’m pretty sure he’s right.

Get tempted by tartan and jump right into filthy little bundle of trope clichés. Hot, wild, alpha af, and WILDLY historically inaccurate. Try not to get hung up on the historical details. Trust me, I didn’t ;). Warning: not responsible for lost or ripped bodices. Reader beware.

As with all my books, this one is safe, with no cheating, and a HEA guaranteed.

New Release & Review!!! Needing to Love You-- Erin Rylie!!!

**Today we have the blog tour for Erin Rylie’s NEEDING TO LOVE YOU!**

Okay, how in the world is it possible that I have not known about Erin Rylie before now people?? I mean this woman is hella talented and her characters- jump right off of the page and drag you into the story.

I was hooked from a few pages in and could NOT put this book down until I finished the entire thing. And that meant staying up all night to do it.

Kelsey and Carlos start off right at the beginning and the banter between them is infectious. The chemistry is undeniable and the attraction- even hotter.

So, I just knew that there was nothing that could come between these two. Color me surprised to find it out that there was. And I was even more surprised to find out what those things were.

But Erin tackled those things beautifully, I thought. Addiction is an ugly thing, y'all. Just flat out ugly. And there is never a good way to tell that story- especially when it comes in the form of an officer of the law being the one fighting that fight. But I think Erin did it justice. I think she showed the ugly side to what Carlos was going through- how it destroyed some things for him, and his fight back to the light.

Now, there were other demons at play that I won't touch on, because I don't want to give away too much of the story- but will say that both Carlos and Kelsey both had things to work on. It was a two sided battle in this relationship. And that made the fight to the happy ending all the more sweet, if you ask me.

I can't even begin to tell you how much I loved this story, and can't wait to get the next book- as I'm already salivating for it!!!

5 stars all the way!!!

Check it out and be sure to grab your copy today!

Title: NEEDING TO LOVE YOU

Author: Erin Rylie

Genre: Contemporary Romance

About Needing To Love You:

Carlos Ramirez has always prided himself on two things: being damn good at his job on the Houston police force and being able to land any woman he wants.

When a devastating car accident leaves him crippled and in excruciating pain, he begins to rely too heavily on his prescription painkillers.

The only person who can help him heal is the only woman who has ever rejected him—and on more than one occasion.

Living with Kelsey while he works through physical therapy wasn’t anything he ever expected to happen, but it might just be what he needs.

After a divorce that left her doubting her ability to love, Kelsey Byrne wants nothing to do with relationships.

Unfortunately for her, the only man she could see herself loving needs a place to live and help while he recovers.

She had a hard time pushing him away after a one-night stand, so how can she possibly keep him at arm’s length when he’s in her house every day, playing with her son, cooking her meals, and leaving her cute notes every morning?

Carlos may be working his way into her heart one sweet gesture at a time, but can she give him everything knowing that she’s more than a little broken inside?

About Erin:

I'm a Montana born, Texas raised New Jersey transplant with a degree in hospitality. At 29 years old, I decided it was finally time for me to pursue my real passion in life - writing.

I've been writing princess stories and LOTR fan-fiction since I was in middle school, so the transition into romance has been fun!

When I'm not writing, I'm reading (fantasy, sci-fi and romance are my genres) or working.

I'm currently obsessed with Brooklyn Nine Nine which should tell you all you need to know about my sense of humor.

Finally, I am 100% an old cat lady. My cats Socks and Kaz are little weirdos and I love them more than most people.

New Release!!! Happily Ever Alpha World— Aurora Rose Reynolds!!!

Title: Aurora Rose Reynolds'
Happily Ever Alpha World

Authors: Various
Publisher: Boom Factory Publishing

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: April 16, 2019

Introduction

As a reader, I look for books that are sweet with low angst and have an over-the-top alpha male. I have always loved reading about couples that find each other at the beginning of a book and fall in love page after page, never really having a true separation. Never finding enough of those kinds of stories on the market, I decided to write my own. It was then the Until Series and the “BOOM” was born.

The Until Series is now published in ten languages, and the series, has sold millions copies worldwide. This series has taken on a life of its own, and readers from all over the world are constantly asking for the next installment, which is why I have opened my world to some of my favorite authors.

If you are a fan of the Until Series you are going to love each and every one of these books. Whether you are reading about one of your favorite secondary characters, catching a glimpse of one of the Maysons or visiting one of the local stores or coffee shops. And if you haven’t read any of my “Until” books but love alpha males, strong women and sweet romance I promise you are going to love these books.
