Release Blitz & Review...This Is Wild by Natasha Madison






Viktor
My parents told me I skated before I walked. When I was eighteen I was drafted into the N.H.L third overall, playing in Los Angeles—the city of dreams. What more could I ask for? I played hard, but eventually, I partied even harder. Five years later I was traded a week after I entered rehab. There was no time for anything except my health and making sure I’d come out on top. I had to be better. There wasn’t another option.
One of the rules of recovery was ‘don’t fall in love’ and I made it a top priority. She was off limits in every single way.
Until it was too late

Zoe
When you grow up surrounded by hockey players you know one thing for sure, I was never going to settle down with one. Heck, I didn’t even know what icing was. I was too busy climbing the corporate ladder, becoming one of the most successful realtors in New York City. I wasn’t interested in dating or anything that got in my way.
First, he was my client and then he became my friend.
One night, one decision, one act can derail everything.
When push comes to shove, I’m only certain that, This is Wild.


AVAILABLE NOW

Amazon US |  Amazon CA | Amazon UK | 














When her nose isn't buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she's in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It's a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn't listen to her...



Viktor is a professional ice hockey player that’s hit rock bottom. On the verge of losing everything he’s worked so hard for, it makes him have to face up to why he’s been acting like he has and he finds himself ending up in rehab. I felt for Viktor. He’s not a bad guy, he realises how lucky he is to get a second chance and he’s determined not to let down the one man who was willing to take a chance on him. He wants to be better and I can’t knock anyone that puts in as much effort as he does to accomplish that. 

Zoe comes from a sporting family and has always sworn off getting involved with a hockey player. Working as a realtor she agrees to help get Vik a new place to live as a favour for her brother. Vik knows she’s off limits, he knows she’s too good for him but that doesn’t stop them forming a really sweet friendship. 

I found myself getting emotional reading This Is Wild. Vik...he’s working so hard to be a better man and I was cheering him on every step of the way. Zoe won me over within seconds. 

I’ve been a massive fan of Natasha Madison since I read her debut book way back when and I can honestly say over the years this author just gets better and better. I loved the Something So series and I’m loving the This Is series just as much. There’s something about Ms Madisons writing that draws you in. There’s a depth and a real ness about her characters that make them unbelievably easy to love. 

I love an emotional, chemistry filled slow burning romance and This Is Wild was definitely everything I was hoping for and more. I can’t wait to read This Is Love and get Vivienne’s story!

Holy wow! Dante is *fans self* wow. What a delicious bundle of hot alphaness Dante turned out to be. It’s safe to say I’m crushing on him big time. This man *swoons* he’s EVERYTHING! He is pure dark deliciousness and I loved him. He’s used to getting whatever or whoever he’s wants and what he wants is Sarah. 

Sarah is the manager of Dante and his brothers club, Church. She’s hiding a past that’s close to catching up with her and determined to keep her new found friends safe. When she gives in to the sexual chemistry between her and Dante she thinks it will be easy to walk away. But Dante has other ideas and once he finds out Sarah’s hiding things, it just makes him even more determined to keep what’s his safe. 

I’ve read the previous books in this series and I can say without a doubt this book is my favourite so far. I loved Dante and Sarah, I loved their chemistry, her attitude and his insistence that she’s his. This is a fast paced book that I couldn’t put down. I can’t wait for more from this series.

What would you do, for revenge?

Dear Diary,

Do you know that?
Nope…
Still doesn’t cut it. 

Dear Fate…yeah, that’s the one.

Dear Fate, 
What the actual hell?
What exactly did I do to deserve the life you paved for me?

This is the first book in a new series and what a book it is. I struggled to put this book down, the story had me completely hooked. This is going to be a short, vague review because this book needs to be read without spoilers. 

Callie made a mistake. We’ve all made them but Callie’s mistake ends up changing her life forever. I loved Callie. She’s paid for her mistake and genuinely wants to make things right even though someone seems determined to stop her. She’s ready to move on and make up for the years she lost and make a life for herself. With her two best friends, a new man and a job it seems like Callie’s life is looking up...and this is where the twists start coming. Honestly I went back and forth over who I could trust, wondering what was going to happen next and then I got to the ending and was left hanging! I can’t wait for the conclusion of Callie’s story. I’ve no idea what’s going to happen next.

From the backseat of Austin's Jeep to the altar they come. The town of Lake Starlight along with the Bailey's are prepping for the event of the year, but as usual things never go smoothly with these nine siblings and let's not forget Grandma Dori! 

This is a novella in the Bailey series!









AVAILABLE NOW

Piper Rayne, or Piper and Rayne, whichever you prefer because we’re not one author, we’re two. Yep, you get two USA Today Bestselling authors for the price of one. Our goal is to bring you romance stories that have "Heartwarming Humor With a Side of Sizzle" (okay...you caught us, that's our tagline). A little about us... We both have kindle’s full of one-clickable books. We're both married to husbands who drive us to drink. We're both chauffeurs to our kids. Most of all, we love hot heroes and quirky heroines that make us laugh, and we hope you do, too.




I don’t know how she does it but Grandma Dori steals the show everytime she appears in a book and this one’s no different. The Bailey clan is planning a wedding so it’s the perfect chance to catch up with those whose stories we’ve already read and check in with those that are still to come. Dori is at her interfering, meddling best, Savannah is just about killing me with anticipation for her story and Austin and Holly finally say I do. 

This book is everything I’ve come to expect from this duo. Their books are the perfect mix of comedy, romance and family values and I can’t wait for more from the Baileys family.

Release Blitz & Review...Convict by A. Zavarelli

 
CONVICT (Sin City Salvation #2) by A. Zavarelli Release Date: July 22nd
   
AVAILABLE NOW!!
FREE in Kindle Unlimited!!
   
   
Blurb: From the shadows, I’ve tracked her every move. I was just supposed to watch her. But now, I can’t stop.
She’s my obsession. My addiction. My poison. Watching her isn’t enough.
The savage in me won’t be satisfied until I take her and make her mine. One taste and I’m hooked. Too bad for her… I’m never letting her go.
**
Stalked. Hunted. Captured. He took me from my life and locked me away in his compound.
The ex-con. The big bad biker. Inked, bearded, and inhumanely sized. And yet, every time he looks at me, I melt.
This broken beast hides demons behind those brutal eyes. I hate him… and I crave him. His touch, his words, his lips.
When my enemies come for me, he vows to protect me as long as I do what he says. I’ll be secure in this prison he created for me.
But who will protect me from him?
   
Excerpt: He dragged his nose through my hair, breathing me in. And then he pressed his lips against the shell of my ear, repeating the process all over again as he kissed his way down my jaw. When he finally got to my lips, I was hungry and wet for him. Dinner was scattered on the floor around us, long forgotten as his fingers grazed the hem of the silk robe against my thigh. He pulled it aside, then repeated the action on the other leg.
Leaning back, he studied my face before his eyes drifted to the part of me he’d exposed. I was open for him. Vulnerable to him. He could see everything, and I didn’t try to hide it. This was the broken, filthy part of me he needed to see. It was now or never. He could take it or leave it.
His attention drifted up while he tugged at the loose fabric covering my breasts. When he was finished, all that remained was the rope around my waist and the fabric pooling at my sides. I held my breath as I waited to see what he would do next. After everything that had just happened, more than anything, I wanted him to want me, and yet I was terrified he couldn’t. It didn’t make sense, but it was undeniable. He’d seen me at my worst, and I wanted him to tell me it was okay. It didn’t matter how fucked up I was, he wanted me anyway.
Just like with everything else, Huck did it in his own way. He reached for the zipper on his jeans, slowly dragging it down while his eyes locked onto mine. They were filled with dark promises and threats that reflected in his voice.
“Tell me to stop, Birdie. If you don’t, I’ll never let you go.”
“Don’t stop.” I forced the words from my raw throat. “Don’t you fucking dare."
 
 
About the Author: A. Zavarelli is a USA Today and Amazon bestselling author.
She likes all things chocolate, books that come with warnings, and putting her characters through hell. Her tales have been known to flirt with darkness and sometimes court it unabashedly altogether. Revenge themes and tortured souls are her favorites to write and this gives her an excuse to watch bizarre and twisted documentaries in her spare time.
She currently lives in the Northwest with her lumberjack and an entire brood of fur babies.



Convict is Gypsys sister Birdies story and can be read as a stand-alone. 

Birdie is a con artist. Turning tricks in casinos is how she makes her money but she’s not doing it by choice. She hasn’t had the easiest time of it but she’s doing what she needs to do to survive. She’s a strong character but there’s so much pain buried inside her that it’s hard not to like her. With her sister Gypsy expecting a baby, Gypsy and her husband Lucian ask MC member Ace to step in and keep Birdie out of trouble until the baby is born. 

Birdie has definitely met her match with Ace. He shares a close bond with Lucian and he’s determined not to let his friend down. Ace is borderline obsessed with Birdie. He’s possessive and protective and not willing to take any chances when it comes to Birdie, even though she’s fighting him every step of the way and there’s a good chance she’s going to drive him insane. Over time their relationship starts to slowly shift and they start to let their walls down and grow closer. 

I struggled to put this book down. I loved the characters, they’ve both got dark pasta that they’ve dealt with differently and Ace is brilliant in all his alpha glory. Convict is another great book in the Sin City Salvation series.

Audio Release... Diary Of A Bad Boy by Meghan Quinn

Diary Of A Bad Boy on Audio!!

Release Date: July 22nd
Genre: Contemporary Romance
MQDiaryAudioBookCover Diary Of A Bad Boy is now available on AUDIO! Meghan Quinn is so excited to bring you Diary Of A Bad Boy narrated by John Hartley and Lauren Ezzo!! This sassy and sweet romance about an Irish rebel who falls in love with the wrong girl will leave you with a happy heart and a smile on your face. Full of witty banter and swoony moments, it's the perfect romantic comedy to listen to!

BLURB:

Dear Diary, I might have gotten myself into a wee bit of trouble - and I'm not talking about the "court mandated community service", or "therapy sessions from bashing a bloke in the head" kind of trouble. I wish it were that simple. Nope. I'm talking about the "falling in love with one of my client's daughters", kind of trouble...The kind of problem I can't talk my way out of when the truth gets out. How I ended up with her phone is a long story - and when she called to get it back, I took things a bit too far. One innocent exchange wound up leading to so much more. Fun, new, and totally immune to my charm, Sutton is different. And I had no idea she was the daughter of Foster Green. Blame it on the dark colored stout running through my veins, pushing me toward one bad decision after another. Pushing me toward her even though I know right from wrong; even though she's my client's daughter. Dating her might be the best or worst decision I've ever made. Only time, whiskey, and one more roll around the mattress with her will tell. Roark MQDiaryAudioBookCover3D.png

Blog Tour & Review...My Brother's Billionaire Best Friend by Max Monroe

MBBBF - BT banner

One minute, I’m a woman trying to find her way in the world, and the next, I’m the sender of six of the most embarrassing text messages that have ever been sent in the history of time—or the cell phone.

Whatever.

My Brother’s Billionaire Best Friend, a hilarious romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Max Monroe, is available now!

MBBBF_Cover
Mabel “Maybe” Willis died a virgin at the very young age of twenty-four.
She leaves behind her parents, Betty and Bruce, her brother, Evan, a laptop filled with one too many Jason Momoa memes, and a Kindle library with more books than one human being could ever finish in a lifetime.
Cause of death: a text message.
Okay. So, I didn’t die.
But I may as well have.
One minute, I’m a woman trying to find her way in the world, and the next, I’m the sender of six of the most embarrassing text messages that have ever been sent in the history of time—or the cell phone. Whatever.
We’re talking code red, send a flipping mayday, the apocalypse is coming kind of texts.
And I didn’t just send them to some random person I’ll never see again.
No. That would be too easy.
I sent them to Milo Ives.
The man who played a starring role in all of my teenage fantasies—and my brother’s lifelong best friend.
And, boy oh boy, has he grown up.
He’s hard-bodied, blue-eyed, jawline-of-stone handsome, crazy successful, and has more money in his bank account than my brain can fathom.
Deflower me, please? I said.
Yeah. Send help.

Excerpt:
Maybe Here I rest, you guys. I. Mother-flapjacking P. to me. And now, I’m coming to you live from what I believe is the afterlife. Just think of this as that morning show with Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest, Live with Kelly and Ryan. Only, change the name to DEAD with Maybe, take away the celebrity guests, and fill the audience with people who don’t mind witnessing a full-on embarrassment-fueled emotional breakdown. Good God, if I would’ve known I was going to kick the bucket right before I reached twenty-five, I sure as shit wouldn’t have spent the last six years of my life slaving away at Stanford for a bachelor’s and master’s degree in English Lit. I would’ve partied in college rather than studying until my eyeballs bled. I would’ve danced on bars. Flashed some nip for beads at Mardi Gras. Actually gone to Mardi Gras. I would have indulged in unlimited pasta night at the Olive Garden instead of counting carbs, and I wouldn’t have stopped binge-watching Game of Thrones on season flipping six. I would have tongue-kissed loads of guys and spread my legs like a contortionist for any of them who seemed reasonably adept. You know, a little bam-bam in my ham-ham. Some not-too-big, but not-too-small P in my V. A good old-fashioned pants-off dance-off… Sex, you guys. I’m talking about sex. And if you haven’t picked up what I’m putting down from my delirious ramble, I’ll lay it out for you. I’ve yet to be sexed up by anyone. That’s right. I have officially bought myself a one-way ticket to the afterlife as a virgin for-freaking-eternity. And now, I guess I’ll never know how it feels to have an actual penis rub up against my G-spot because, you know, I’m dead. And I’m pretty certain God probably frowns upon people flashing their boobs at the angels and public displays of leg-spreading and definitely the unchaste actions of a desperate-to-bone but unwed woman. No way. Heaven’s strictly G-rated. I put it all off. I figured I had time. I mean, I thought I’d at least get to see The Office do a reunion special before I went lights out for good. Although, my parents’ flower shop feels more like purgatory than heaven, and I thought for sure I’d be wearing something other than jean shorts and Converse when I headed to meet the Big Guy upstairs. Honestly, the afterlife feels eerily like real life, and I’m not one to be dramatic, but I have to be dead, you guys. Seriously. Because no one could live through what I did. I’m talking a 10.0 on the Richter Scale of embarrassing and awkward. A Category 5 hurricane of humiliation. A twisting, catastrophic EF5 tornado of comedic disaster. No freaking way I survived that…right? Okay. Fine. So, I can be a little dramatic sometimes… And maybe, just maybe, I’m exaggerating things a bit here, but I’m doing it in the name of self-preservation. Because, trust me, if you did what I did, you’d let yourself mentally pretend to be dead for a little bit too. Because if I’m not dead, I’m going to have to face the consequences of my awful, humiliating, cringeworthy actions. I’m going to have to face him. Milo Ives—a tall, handsome, unbelievably sexy drink of water. A man I’ve known since I was a prepubescent girl. A man I’ve basically been crushing on my whole damn life. A billion-dollar-empire kind of successful man who just so happens to be my brother’s best friend. I’ll say it again for the folks in the back. Milo Ives is my brother’s billionaire best friend. And I’m in way over my head.

Max Monroe are quickly becoming my go to authors when I need a book that’s going to have me laughing out loud and Mabel’s story definitely made me laugh. 

Mabel ‘Maybe’ Willis has had a crush on her brothers best friend Milo forever. When they meet again years later, Milo doesn’t recognise Maybe but when her brother asks him for a favour, it throws them both together and the laughs start coming. 

Maybe is hysterical. She’s random and awkward and I don’t think it’s possible for me to love her more than I do. Not only is she extremely funny, she’s unbelievably sweet and a little (a lot) clueless when it comes to the opposite sex. I adored Maybe. Everything about her draws you to her and her naive innocence only sweetens the pot. Half the time I didn’t know whether to laugh or cringe at the things she comes out with. She’s adorable. 

This book was such a fun romance to read. The characters will draw you in and the story will keep you hooked. Another brilliant book from these authors.

Release Blitz & Review...The Guy On the Right by Kate Stewart


We're celebrating the release of The Guy on the Right by Kate Stewart! Fall in love with Theo and Laney today!


Contemporary Romance/Romantic Dramedy
Stand Alone
Designer: Q Design
Goodreads: http://bit.ly/2LyFdTR
Links coming soon!
Paperback: https://amzn.to/2SFt3dc


Blurb:
Strike One-My mother named me Theodore after her favorite chipmunk.

Not cool, Mom.

I‘ve spent most of my life answering to Teddy, because I couldn’t make Theo work.

Except for here. College. The place where all bets are off, and I’ve managed to redeem myself.
There’s only one problem, my new roommate, Troy, is football royalty and looks like he stepped off the set of an Abercrombie shoot.

Doesn’t matter, I cook a mean breakfast for his panty parade, and we get along well.
And anyway, this year I got the girl. And she’s perfect.

That’s right. Theodore Houseman, former band geek, now marching band rock star has finally landed the girl of his dreams.

Everything is perfect.

That is, until Troy takes a good look at her.

I’m not going down without a fight. As a matter of fact, I’m not going down at all. As glorious as these days may be for my all-star roommate, Laney is my end game.

I may not know much about play strategy, but I’ve been the good guy my whole life. I’ve been listening and I know exactly what women want. Framed in a picture standing next to me, Troy may seem like Mr. Perfect, but he’s underestimating the guy on the right.

Spoiler alert: In this story, the underdog is going to win.







About the Author:

A Texas native, Kate Stewart lives in North Carolina with her husband, Nick, and her naughty beagle, Sadie. She pens messy, sexy, angst-filled contemporary romance as well as romantic comedy and erotic suspense because it's what she loves as a reader.

What can I say about Theo? I LOVE him! I challenge anyone to read this book and not be won over by him. There is not one single thing about this guy that I didn’t love. He’s the underdog...I’m always going to root for the underdog. Always. He’s a former band geek, he’s sweet, caring, loyal, he’s just a really good, decent guy. Does he stand out from the crowd? Probably not. But once you notice him, it’ll be hard to take your attention off him. There’s something about Theodore Houseman that I couldn’t get enough of. 

Laney is done with boys. She’s taking time for herself and boys don’t factor into her plan. I loved Laney. Her attitude, her unpredictability, everything about her is fun. A chance meeting brings her and Theo into one another’s lives and they start to form this unbelievably sweet and funny friendship. If I could have picked any woman for Theo it would’ve been Laney. They’re a match made in heaven as far as I’m concerned and I was completely invested in their story. 

This is such a fantastic book. I read this in one go, you would have had to pry my kindle from my cold dead fingers to get me stop reading. I wasn’t sure this was going to be for me when I picked it up but by the end of the first page I was completely hooked. Another brilliant book from Kate Stewart.
