New Release + Review: Overachiever by S.M. Shade

Release Date: January 28

It started with a summer job and a ridiculous sex dream.

If you were to ask my friends to describe me, they’d tell you I’m an ambitious person. Responsible, driven, and focused on my goals. Words like stubborn and uptight would probably get thrown in there too. I’m not sure about that, but I know who I’m not.

I’m not the woman who lets a guy derail me from my plans. Watching others make that mistake has taught me well. No serious dating. No relationship until I’m successfully settled into my career. That’s the promise I made to myself and I’m determined to keep it.

Despite being an excellent student, there’s one lesson I fear I’ve learned too late. Funny men aren’t as harmless as they seem and should be avoided at all times. They sneak in under your radar and end up under your skirt. One second you’re laughing. The next you’re hunting for your underwear on a hotel room floor. Believe me, it’s not worth it.

If only my heart would stop screaming louder than my brain, I might be able to believe that Owen falls into that category. He’s my friend, but every day we spend together in this hotel, or working on our summer job building houses for charity, the harder it gets to convince myself we shouldn’t be more.

Years of diligence, and I’m being destroyed by a goofy smile

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Remee and Owen are friends that live life somewhat differently. Remee has goals. She knows what she wants, she knows what she has to do to get there, and she doesn't allow anything to get in her way. Owen is bubbly, funny, and is still undecided with what he wants to do with his life. 

They are set to spend the summer together away from the rest of their friends where they start a summer fling that is packed full of hilarious moments.

It's only when everything that Remee has ever focused on is in jeopardy do things go south. 

There were so many laugh out loud moments.   Billie Eilish's Bad Guy will NEVER be the same! 

The humor, the embarrassing moments, all the things that made me smile or laugh were where I enjoyed this story the most. When it wasn't funny though, I didn't feel as connected to the story. The drama portion didn't hold me captive like I wanted.

Title: End Game
Series: Sinners MC #2

Author: Jennifer Hanks
Genre: Contemporary Romance/Romantic Suspense
Release Date: January 28, 2021

BLURB

She’s his obligation. 
Josie Carmichael is uptight, opinionated, and judgmental. 
She has no place in his motorcycle club, but he’s made a commitment to protect her after she became a target for his enemies, and as the president, he takes that seriously. Setting up her protection is easy. However, ignoring the heat between them is impossible, and it isn’t long before he’s sacrificing everything to get close to her. 

He’s her nemesis. 
John Pierce, known only to his MC brothers as Bear, is overbearing, infuriating, and pushy. 
He lives his life on his own terms, in complete contradiction to how she lives hers, but she needs his protection to keep herself and the kids in her program safe. However, as their obsessive attraction continues to pull them together, she begins second-guessing everything she thought she knew about the man and what he’s willing to do for her and the club. 
But things are rarely what they seem. 
With danger still lurking and the club’s enemies marking their targets, can love keep them together? 
Or will their differences tear them apart?

Rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This story had me from the very beginning! End Game is officially in the top three of my favorite by Jennifer Hanks.

Hanks wasted no time for the drama to begin. Josie Carmichael, fairly new to town, does a good deed that immediately blows up in her face and throws her right in the middle of the Sinners MC.

Bear, the MC's president, shoulders the responsibility for what happened to Josie and wants to offer her protection the best way he knows how.  He’s used to being in charge and making the calls. What he's not used to is an obstinate woman. 

The tension between these two just crawls off the page. It's incredible, it's juicy, and it's addictive!

On top of Bear and Josie's story there are so many other stories waiting to be told with the side characters. The good news is is readers get a peek at the next story in this series. 

I HIGHLY suggest reading this one. It's angsty, it's suspenseful, it's incredibly hot and I did not want to put it down!

Cover Reveal: Bossing The Cowboy by Kennedy Fox

Release Date: May 11, 2021 

A single dad, workplace, small town romance

Cover designer: Outlined with Love Designs Cover photographer: FuriousFotog Cover model: Cody Smith/Comedic Cody

After surviving a messy divorce, Dr. Connor Wallen prefers being married to his job. Helping animals is the perfect distraction from his crazy life as a single dad, but he finds it difficult to concentrate when an attractive woman fresh from veterinary school joins his practice. Getting involved with someone who works for him would only lead to disaster.

He tries to ignore her but their chemistry is undeniable.

Dr. Elizabeth Bishop can’t stand her boss or how he treats her, but there aren’t many job options in small-town Texas. No matter what she does, it’s never good enough for him, but she keeps trying to impress him anyway. Studying and working so much over the years has destroyed her dating life, so she stopped trying.

She’ll never admit she’s attracted to him and denies it every chance she gets.

Avoiding him is impossible, but Elle keeps her distance. Conner may be her boss, but she’s tired of playing his games. After an all-nighter turns into more, she’s ready to prove who’s in control.

Although he pushes her away, she’s determined to pull him closer—showing him exactly what they’ve both been missing.

**Bossing the Cowboy is a complete stand-alone and can be read without reading any of the other books or spin-off series, but if you prefer to read in order, start with Hitching the Cowboy as the characters and families do interconnect.**

A sexy, brother's best friend sports romance from # 1 New York Times bestseller Lauren Blakely! 
  Let me make a few things clear. I didn’t go to the wedding intending to dance with the best man, to dare him to show me a very sexy pic on his phone, or to accidentally kiss him in the hotel elevator after the reception ended. But you know how it goes. Things just happen at weddings... 
  The next day, Crosby and I agree to put all those shenanigans behind us. The fun-loving, stupidly gorgeous, all-star baseball player might be my brother’s best friend, but he’s my friend too and has been for years, so it’s easy to move on, especially because I have a high-profile business to run.
But since he’s newly single and I’m always single, it turns out we both desperately need plus ones. We agree to “publicly date” over the next two weeks of galas, parties and events before his baseball season begins.
The only trouble is the more time I spend with Crosby, the more I keep imagining how much I want him to take my V-card. And when I broach the possibility with Crosby, his answer surprises the hell out of me.

The Devil comes with baggage, and not the kind you can lose. I was two years old when he saved me. I didn’t understand much at that age, but I remember the pale boy with hair as dark as ink, saving me from two evils. He said he would protect me; I just didn’t know he meant from himself. I was raised in the arms of evil, tailored for the Devil like a custom Armani suit, and every day he wore it like a weapon. Brantley thought by keeping me locked in his manor that it would protect me, and it did. Until it didn’t. As I slowly adapt to The Elite Kings Club and the dark, sinister world that exists around the outlaws in suits, I come to learn that the monster everyone fears is the very same one I crave. 
  Like a prized trophy, I sit on his throne…
Something quite pretty, an object he owns… 
  She’s a porcelain doll, so shiny, so clean…
Something I want to polish, but to never be seen…
The time has come, I am in his world…
Now his Dea, can be admired by all…
The thing with porcelain is it’s fragile and delicate… 
It would only take a second for me to eradicate it…

  It started when I stole a secret I was never meant to keep. Then, “I dare you,” was whispered in the dark of night. Three simple words that changed everything. I became the one thing that Rhys Blackwood hated more than he hated himself. St. Augustine’s very own fallen angel had me in his hold and he wasn’t giving up until I was ruined. I was a snitch. A liar. A pawn. He was cruel. Merciless. The King. Together, we were fated for destruction. And where there are secrets and untruths… there are demons lurking beyond the shadows. 
  Immoral Confessions is a dark high school bully romance set at a Catholic boarding school. It is approximately 72,000 words, full length novel. While the couple's story IS complete, there IS a cliffhanger for the series that will continue on into BOOK 2, TARNISHED VOW.

New Release + Review: Not My Match by Ilsa Madden-Mills

“Madden-Mills masterfully handles the protagonists’ insecurities and traumas to produce a love story that’s equal parts tantalizing, gut-wrenching, and sweet.” --Publishers Weekly

Not My Match, an all-new sports romance full of smoking hot chemistry from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills, is available now!

Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills delivers a smart and sexy romance about a professional football hottie and the girl he’s sworn to never touch.
Homeless and heartbreakingly innocent, Giselle Riley walks into my penthouse and chaos follows.
I shouldn’t have invited the girl genius to live with me, but it’s clear she needs my help—not only for a place to lay her pretty blonde head but in finding real love, which she’s not going to get with the crazy men she picks up online.
Too bad she’s a twenty-four-year-old virgin and I’m a bad boy wide receiver. She’s off limits for a hardcore player like me—and we’re just friends.
Instead, I’m her matchmaking service, no matter how jealous it makes me when I tag along on her dates.
I can keep my self-control. Right? No way will I give in to everything inside me that dreams of a girl like her in my world.
I may be the best wide receiver in the country, but how could I hold on to a girl like her?

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This book is EVERYTHING! Ilsa Madden-Mills has set the 2021 bar so freaking HIGH with this one! I didn't want to put it down once I started and read it in less than 24 hours. 

I wasn't sure about Giselle after reading Not My Romeo, but I absolutely adored her in this story. And Devon - I believe he will be in my 2021 list of favorite book boyfriends. He was great as a side character in NMR but as the main character, he is AMAZING!

One thing I love about this author is her ability to write the words in a way that I feel EVERYTHING. This story was angsty, it was sweet, it was endearing. And when I was introduced to Cindy, I laughed out loud. 

This is without a doubt going to be one of my top favs for 2021. It it THAT good!

Now I just need to find out who's going to tame Aiden!

Winston Constantine is no prince charming... I crave him so badly I think I might be losing my mind. He's right in front of me, but he’s just as remote as my dreams of getting away from my stepbrothers. I keep playing his twisted games, and I want to stay just as distant as he is. But I can’t. I never could. I’ve fallen for him. Hopelessly. Irrevocably. But Winston isn’t a lover, he’s a business venture. A way for me to pay for college. A ticket out. He’s never pretended to be anything other than that. I can’t blame him for making me fall in love. There can be no happily ever after between a maid and a prince, no matter what the stories say.     

  Excerpt: 
“Let’s see what the poor maid bought her boss,” he taunts, his fingers digging into my thighs as he roughly holds onto me. “I didn’t buy it,” I sass back. “I made it.” He rolls his eyes, making him seem much younger like Keaton. It makes me laugh. I reach over to the nightstand and grab the envelope off the top. “Here.” “A gift card to Starbucks. How original.” I smack at his bare chest. “It’s not a gift card, asshole.” He smirks as he opens the card. His brow lifts in question as he pulls out a handmade booklet. “Coupons.” I grin at him. “Cool, right?” Ignoring me, he flips open the booklet. “A coupon for one free massage from Ash.” His eyes dart to mine, amusement dancing in them. “I could go to the spa and get a massage from someone qualified.” “Would they do it naked?” I taunt. “Hmm,” is all he says as he flips to the next page. “Bedtime story by Ash. A bedtime story, huh? A story about the big, bad wolf with his dick up Goldilocks’s ass?” I cackle and smack him again. “You’re an idiot.” He flips the page and shakes his head. “A free cuddle. I can assure you, I’m never using this coupon.” I pout, earning a smile from him. “You never know. They don’t expire so you’re good there.” “You thought of everything, I see,” he remarks, his eyes back on the booklet. “A trip to the candy store. Hmm.” “There’s a really neat place where you can mix and match—” “I don’t eat candy,” he interrupts, flashing me his perfect white teeth. “Fine, we’ll buy some for Perry. We’re going and soon. I’m running low on cherry Starburst.” He flips the page. “Movie night in Winston’s bed.” “Sounds fun, right?” “All of this sounds like torture if we’re being honest.” “But you love torture,” I argue. “When I’m the one doing the torturing.” He tosses the coupon book away and grabs onto my neck, pulling me to him. “That was the most ridiculous gift I’ve ever received.” “You’re welcome,” I say with a grin. His lips press to mine, and he kisses me like he’s thankful for the most ridiculous gift. Since I was naked and waiting for him, it doesn’t take long for him to shove his boxers down, freeing his thick, eager cock. Greedily, I slide up and down his length, letting him feel how hot he gets me. His tongue spears into my mouth, and his grip on my ass is nearly painful. I arch my back, lining my opening up with the tip of his dick and then flex my hips so that he slides inside my body. With a hard thrust, he bucks into me. His fingers are going to leave bruises as he forcefully guides me to meet his rhythm. I pant heavily against his mouth, trying to keep up with his maddening pace. “Oh god,” I groan, grinding against him, loving how he hits me in all the right spots. “So good.” He pinches my nipple and twists it until I whimper. His lips pepper me with hungry, open-mouthed kisses along my jaw. When he gets to my throat, he sucks hard enough to make me gasp. With each powerful thrust up into me, I grow more and more dizzy by the need to come. Raking my nails over his chest, I revel in the sharp hiss that escapes him. He nips at my throat hard enough I cry out. Mine. I feel the word whispered over my flesh more than I hear it. It’s enough to send me over the edge. Stars glitter around me as my orgasm tears through me, obliterating my every nerve ending. He comes with a growl that sets my soul on fire. Heat floods into me, claiming me as his, just like he said. I collapse onto his sweaty chest, breathing heavily. “How much to keep you right here for the night just like this?” “Everything you earned tonight.” It’s then, I realize we can do this. Without the money if we have to. I’d have to get a real job and an apartment, but we could still have this. We could keep our games and our fantastic sex and our teasing conversations. He’s protective and caring and in tune with my needs. I’m not Meredith. I would take care of his heart, not break it. He just has to let me inside. “Deal.” I stroke my finger over his shoulder. “Happy birthday, Win.” “Indeed it is, Cinderelliott.” I make him happy. The billionaire who has everything finds enjoyment in the company of me. Some might say it’s a fairy tale ending, but even I know Winston’s no charming prince.
