Off Limits by Nicole R. Locker - New Release + Review

Author: Nicole R. Locker
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Blurb


“I absolutely enjoyed this entertaining feel-good love story … fast-paced, filled with drama, pain and loss, all mixed perfectly with sooo much love … definitely not-to-be-missed!” - Goodreads reviewer


It’s the cardinal rule of the Girl Code: never date a friend’s ex. Laynie Duluth knows that Gideon Roth is completely off limits. After all, he and her best friend, Priya, dated for two years back in college. And there’s no statute of limitations on the rules of Girl Code. Problem is, somebody forgot to tell Gideon.

When Laynie wakes up in Gideon’s hotel room bed, wrapped up in a naked,
deliciously attractive Gideon after a night of explosive, earth-shattering, mind-blowing sex, she knows she’s got to fess up and come clean with Priya.

Only that’s not easy knowing what she knows about her best friend, and it
becomes even harder when she learns Priya might just have a secret of her own
to come clean about.

Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was a fast-paced, easy-to-read book. 
The story was cute, not as drama-filled as I thought, but it still had a few serious pieces and it had this tenderness that kept me wanting to read it until the end. 
We all need a Gideon in our lives! 
I loved how Laynie was hiding her secret from Priya and then Priya was hiding her secret from Laynie.
If you want to know what the secret is, you need to read the book!

Making Up by Helena Hunting - Cover Reveal

Making Up, an all-new laugh-out-loud romantic comedy standalone from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting is coming July 16th, and we have the smoking hot cover!

Making Up_ebook.jpg
Cosy Felton is great at her job—she knows just how to handle the awkwardness that comes with working at an adult toy store. So when the hottest guy she’s ever seen walks into the shop looking completely overwhelmed, she’s more than happy to turn on the charm and help him purchase all of the items on his list.
Griffin Mills is using his business trip in Las Vegas as a chance to escape the broken pieces of his life in New York City. The last thing he wants is to be put in charge of buying gag gifts for his friend’s bachelor party. Despite being totally out of his element, and mortified by the whole experience, Griffin is pleasantly surprised when he finds himself attracted to the sales girl that helped him.
As skeptical as Cosy may be of Griffin’s motivations, there’s something about him that intrigues her. But sometimes what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas and when real life gets in the way, all bets are off. Filled with hilariously awkward situations and enough sexual chemistry to power Sin City, Making Up is the next standalone in the Shacking Up world.

ResurfacedPassionJacket

𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐛:

Reaper was the unknown biker around the Renegade Souls MC. They said he ghosted his silence into the woodwork, carrying his secret past close to his chest, never confiding his pain in anyone.
“𝐈’𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬, 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮.”

He had reasons for everything he’d done. For the one he called his priority. Nothing was too much. Even murder.
Loyal to his club, he knew one day if he had to choose between them and her, he’d walk away without a backward glance.

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐧𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐛𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝

The bikers called her diner girl but to Reaper, Paige was the woman he watched intensely without ever asking her for a date. They shared an overprotective – borderline possessive friendship but years later, Paige was still alone. Still worshipping him from afar. Still inexplicably drawn to the biker.

“𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩; 𝐦𝐞, 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫.”

The past isn’t always better left behind.
Sometimes it needs to resurface in order to have a future with the man who brought passion.

Loving the quiet man was the easiest thing on earth, like she was made only for him.
But secrets had a habit of coming back and making a love that was unbreakable suddenly…fragile.
𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐫: This is not, not, NOT a cheating book. For the people in the back, this is not a cheating book. Stop hiding, it’s completely safe.

“Jesse, wait,” she breathes. “What are we doing here?”

I don’t hesitate. “What every soon-to-be married man and woman would do.”

She closes her eyes slowly, opening them again with a sigh. “But we’re not married. We’re not actually engaged. We’re not anything.”

“Don’t say that,” I almost bark. “We’re not ‘not anything.’”

Her stare narrows. “Then what are we?”

“I don’t know what you are,” I confess. “But I’m a man who can’t keep his hands off you. Who might die if he has to spend another second not doing to you all the things he’s dreamed…”

Dangerous Magic by Evie Hart - Cover Reveal

Dangerous Magic, an all-new cozy mystery from New York Times bestselling author Emma Hart writing as Evie Hart, is coming May 16th!

PAPERBACKCOVER-1.jpg

It’s not every day you have to return to your hometown to bind your borderline-poltergeist grandmother to the family property.
Unfortunately, today is that day for Avery Thorn.
All Avery wants is to report the binding to the Witch Council so she can fulfill her obligation, but finding a dead body and the Head of the Council on the brink of death isn’t in her plan.
Especially when she’s pegged as the number one suspect.
Now, it’s down to Avery and her cousins—and her sassy feline familiar—to figure out who tried to murder the Head of the Council. Magically bound to find the culprit, the last thing she needs is the new detective getting under her toes.
Unfortunately for her, she finds herself colliding with the hot cop more than she wants. And since her familiar hates him, it’s not always pleasant.
New magic and a devastating tragedy threaten to derail their investigations—but not quite as much as the person who isn’t happy they’re involved…

Baby Mine by Kennedy Fox - New Release + Review





I saw her first.

Blonde. Gorgeous. Feisty.

I was smitten. 


But it didn’t matter because she chose him and he was my best friend and roommate. I’d never be able to compete with that, so I pushed her away instead. It was easy when she lived hours away, and I didn’t have to see her every day, but then she moved in with us. 

Now, I’m screwed.

To her singing in the shower every morning,
dancing in the kitchen while she makes coffee, and doing yoga in our living room, I can’t stop thinking about her in all the wrong ways. She’s not mine and
never will be, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to push her against a wall and claim her mouth.


She’s constantly on me for making messes,
bringing chicks home every weekend, and being a smartass when their PDA gets on my nerves. Considering neither of them know how I feel, it’s not fair for the way I act toward them. I should move out so I can get over her for good; however, the selfish part of me can’t let go. 


But then the unthinkable happens... 

When my best friend dies in a motorcycle
accident, the two of us are left to grieve our loss together. Instead of pushing her away, I pull her closer. 


Just as we come to terms with our new reality, she finds out she’s pregnant with his baby. 

And I’m left to make the hardest decision of my life...

   REVIEW   

Rating ⭐⭐⭐


Great story! My feelings were all over the place with this book.

After reading Forever Mine and before reading this, I declared myself Team Hunter. In fact, I was hating on Lennon in the beginning. If she was real, I would have given her the cold shoulder! (Yep - I was a little salty.)
Then the worst happens.
That in itself had my anxiety levels at maximum. I don't like reading books where I KNOW tragedy is going to strike. I'm stressing because this girl ugly cries.
There is this moment where I just knew - this is it! This is when it's going to happen.  Thank goodness these ladies wrote it in such a way where I could keep it together emotionally. I could however FEEL the pain, grief, and remorse that Hunter and Lennon experienced throughout the rest of the story.

When Hunter hatches this plan and Lennon's sisters are agreeing with his plan, I'm over here saying "Bad idea! BAD idea!".
I'm still waiting to see how Mason & Liam are going to react to it.

Then that cliffhanger!!! 
If I'm not mistaken, Hunter gave us a hint on how this will play out in Forever Mine. (Remember Veronica???) If you didn't read Forever Mine, I strongly suggest it. It's not necessary, but it is a great precursor to Baby Mine.

Overall, I really enjoyed this and can't wait to read Baby Yours to see how everything will play out because Hunter is still hiding a lot from Lennon!

SYNOPSIS

To get what he wants, he’ll have to play a game of dirty pool.
Michel Marcello never wanted to be a mafioso like every other man in his family—he wanted to be more. That doesn’t mean he’s unfamiliar with the life, or that he can’t hold his own against other made men.
They forgot where he came from …
His chance encounter with the fiery and beautiful daughter of Detroit’s most notorious Irish mob boss stokes flames beyond the ones that ignite between Michel and Gabbie Casey. Rivals shouldn’t mix, but these opposites have never been more attracted, either.
The lines between family loyalty, their duties, and responsibility begin to blur.
Love ruins all.
But these two aren’t the only ones playing this game, and it just became far more dangerous to get out alive.
*
Dirty Pool is a standalone romantic suspense.

EXCLUSIVE REVEAL EXCERPT

“What good would it do me to tell you to stay away from the lad, hmm?” her father demanded sharply. “I think I have said more than enough over the last several months since you’ve run around with the prick that it’s clear I don’t approve. But whatever it is, you’re determined to see it through, so I might as well let you get it out of your system now before reality comes to wake you up.”
“What does that even mean?”
Charles scrubbed a hand down his face. “You’ll learn in time. As I intend.”
“I—”
“And as for that Italian fecker,” her father continued, “he needs to pick a side, Gabbie. If he wants to entertain the Italians in the daytime, and then shift with my daughter in the shadows when no one is looking, then the man can’t be trusted, can he? A lad like that … his mind is too sharp, lass. They had to know what he was doing, and then he can decide what he really wants to do. I know where he comes from, and you have to watch him like it, too. I need him to know that I am aware of his choices, and he has others to consider now.”
“Are you giving him the ultimatum, then? Them, or us?”
Charles arched a brow. “It isn’t that complicated, sweetheart. You don’t have to understand when all I want you to do is follow along.”
Wasn’t it that complicated?
She thought so.
“Follow along with what?”
Charles waved a hand at her, and she knew what that meant without him telling her. A dismissal. He was done with their discussion, and she was quite aware how that worked with her father. Once he was done, he was finished. No amount of her prodding or pressing would get more from him.
“I have men to deal with,” he told her. “And you haven’t checked your sugars since this afternoon. Go do that now.”
“My sugars are fine!”
Do it.”
She wasn’t a child.
She still felt like it sometimes.
Charles gestured at the group of lads that had attended the meeting, too, and were now waiting in the hallway just beyond Gabbie. Without waiting for her to really move out of their way, they pressed past her in the tight quarters, not even bothering to excuse themselves or pass her a second glance.
She wasn’t important.
Dismissed.
“Da—”
“Go, but not too far because I expect to speak with you again later,” her father ordered one last time. Then, to the men in the office, he added, “They never intended to settle, lads. That much is clear. We won’t act … yet. We’ll wait and see what they do first, aye, and then we’ll make the hard choices.”
Charles shut the door in Gabbie’s face, essentially leaving her alone in the hallway. It was amazing to her how she could feel so many things all at once. Anger warred with her disbelief and astonishment. Panic swelled in her heart, swirling with anxiety and sadness.
Did it really have to be like this?
What did that mean for her?
For Michel?
For them?
She didn’t know, and she didn’t like it.

About the Author
When I was a wee lassie, I was told by my preschool teachers that I was a natural at storytelling. When I was just a little older than that, an old friend's mother said to me, "Kelsey, one day your books are going to be on the shelves at the library."

Well, Diane, I don't know if my books are ever going to be on the shelves of libraries, but I'm sure as hell going to try.

When I'm not writing stories destined to be bestsellers, I enjoy devouring TV shows, listening to every type of music there is and going to concerts, reading pretty much anything (with a soft spot for romance and certain books located in 18th century Scotland), obsessing over makeup, and pretending to workout.

I also have a fondness for cats, my family, tattoos, and a really good French fry.

Kiss Me Tonight by Maria Luis - Cover Reveal






I had it all.
The Super Bowl rings.
The hot shot TV gig.

Then I got fired.

Now I’m living in
middle-of-nowhere Maine, playing assistant coach to the woman of my nightmares.

Did I mention that she
and her son are my new neighbors?

If you talk to the
locals, they’ll tell you Aspen Levi is the queen of high school football.

But if you ask me, my new head coach is a pain in my left nut sac.

She’s too blonde.
Too peppy.
And way too sexy for my
peace of mind.

Only, one minute we’re
fighting, and the next I can’t keep my hands off her. One hot kiss. One
forbidden touch. I don’t do love but . . .

What I want, I take, and
what I want is Aspen Levi.
