Cover Reveal: The Monster by L.J. Shen

“Maybe we were never meant for each other. But that night at the carnival, when you showed me who you were, I figured out who I wanted to be.”

The Monster, an all-new lust fueled bad boy standalone romance from USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author L.J. Shen is coming June 15th, and we have the gorgeous cover!

The most important thing I’d ever read was scribbled on the door of a portable restroom, engraved into plastic at a carnival on the outskirts of Boston.
Lust lingers, love stays.
Lust is impatient, love waits.
Lust burns, love warms.
Lust destroys, but love? Love kills.
Maybe it was always my destiny to fall in love with a monster.
When other kids stayed awake at night fearing the pointy-toothed beast hiding in their closet, I longed to see mine.
I wanted to feed it, domesticate it, understand it.
Sam and I were only allowed to love each other in the dark.
Once our story unfolded, and the truth came to light, I was the one to cut the cord.
My name is Aisling Fitzpatrick, and I have a confession to make.
Sam Brennan is not the only monster in this story.

New Release + Review: Deceit by Hazel Grace

Release Date: May 18

Emmy Lou Rhodes was mine, but she didn’t want anyone to know. She kept me a dirty secret, locked up like a caged animal so that no one would discover what we had done.

I’m a man with demons who demand for me to heed caution.
Yet I didn’t yield when I had the perfect opportunity to swallow her whole.
I was her dirty little secret.
She was my everything.
But then she gave someone what I always wanted, her life, and then she destroyed me all in one night.
 
Kace Bishop is a man I fell in love with when I knew better.
He could never love a girl like me.
Overbearing, opinionated, and, sure-shit, not going to take crap with the men I work with.
I warned myself it wasn’t a good idea, but when he asked, I left without caring how hard I’d fall.
He couldn’t give me what I needed.
So I moved on and made the worse mistake of my life.
I always thought Bishop would destroy me.
Turns out, I’m the villain in this story.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What an amazing, emotional, gripping story! This book took its toll on my emotions! (Like I need a drink to recover!) I only hope I can do this justice because I'm not sure I have the right words to articulate what this book did to me. 

I want to share all the things and my reactions to everything that happened but doing so would take away the same reactions from someone that hasn't read this. Just know that you need to go in blind. And that it's dark! And that it will push boundaries!

At the beginning, when Hazel Grace takes us back to that heart stopping, emotional scene from Overcast, but only from a different POV, the emotions I felt from back then came flooding back all over again. 

Surprise after freaking surprise! Mills said it best when he said, "Your what now?". You would think the bomb Hazel dropped at the beginning would take the cake but nope, she just keeps giving them to us and some feel like they are up the @$$! 

This author is good at making me want to throw my kindle at the wall. With Deceit, I  was constantly feeling this way. She's good at ripping my heart out, stomp on it a few times, and somehow put it back together again and has me begging for her to do it all over again with the next one. 

Bishop and Emmy - These two keep self-destructing their could be relationship. Each is responsible and has a hand in why they can't work and I had a hard time putting the blame on one more than the other. 

They are opposite as night and day and yet they work. Bishop is the dark to Emmy's light. She's the noise to his silence. Anyone looking in would say they couldn't work out. Little do they know...

Now - I'm over here despising this one character and then all of a sudden, I'm given reasons NOT to hate this character. I don't want to but I know I will probably end up crying for them or cheering them on at some point in this series. (And yes I'm rolling my eyes as I write this because I don't forgive easily.)

Hazel Grace is one of the better authors that can write the gritty, raw, in your face scenes that will push you to the limit. She finds a way to lure me in and draw out these emotions from me. 

I'm so excited and anxious for what she has in store for these B723 characters. They are unlike any I've read before and, as a sane person, I probably shouldn't be as attached to them as I am but I want to know all their secrets and what lies in wait for them.

New Release: Bombshell by Jessica Prince

Title: Bombshell
Series: Whiskey Dolls
Author: Jessica Prince

Contemporary Romance; Small Town Romance; Single Dad Romance



He’d hated me first, so I figured it was only fair I hate the stupid, sexy jerk back.

After ending the world’s worst relationship, Marin Grey had sworn off men. So it was rather inconvenient that she couldn’t seem to keep her eyes and thoughts off the Ice King himself, Pierce Walton—also known as her ex-boyfriend’s older, much hotter brother.

He was cold, callous, and rude. He was also the most gorgeous man she’d ever laid eyes on, which made the fact that he’d hated her from first sight all the more unfair.

When circumstances dictate they put their swords away so Marin can help Pierce take care of his son, that ice-cold hate suddenly takes a turn into something much hotter. And if they aren’t careful, they could both be burned alive. 


**Whiskey Dolls is a brand-new series of interconnected, standalone, small town romances.**

Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That’s why God created central air, after all.

Jessica is the mother of a perfect little boy–she refuses to accept that he inherited her attitude and sarcastic nature no matter what her husband says.

In addition to being a wife and mom, she’s also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books–romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it’s a passion…there’s a difference. Not that she’d expect a boy to understand.

Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.

Releasing: June 22, 2021

 

Photographer: Michelle Lancaster

Model: Mitchell Wick

 

There's no absolution for the things I've done.
But I found a way to control my impulses.
I became a priest.

As Father Magnus Falke, I suppress my cravings. As the headteacher of a Catholic boarding school, I'm never tempted by a student.

Until Tinsley Constantine.

The bratty princess challenges my rules and awakens my dark nature. With each punishment I lash upon her, I want more. In my classroom, private rectory, and bent over my altar, I want all of her.

One touch risks everything I stand for. My faith. My redemption. And even my life.

As if that could stop me. I need her pain, and her heart, and she needs my lessons in sin.

Meet Pam


New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author, Pam Godwin, lives in the Midwest with her husband, their two children, and a foulmouthed parrot. When she ran away, she traveled fourteen countries across five continents, attended three universities, and married the vocalist of her favorite rock band.

Java, tobacco, and dark romance novels are her favorite indulgences, and might be considered more unhealthy than her aversion to sleeping, eating meat, and dolls with blinking eyes.

This was an addictive read! Once I started reading this, I could not put it down! The chemistry between Pierce and Marin was off the charts! 

I love Marin and the bond she has with her sister, Tali and I  loved that the author gave us a mini story on top of Pierce and Marin's story. 

I always love a little sidekick or a clever older character thrown into the mix and Jessica Prince gave us BOTH in this story with Eli and Ms. Weatherby!

I'm so glad the author gave us this spin off series. These ladies already seem to be fun and loyal. I can't wait to see what stories she gives us with the other Whiskey Dolls!

New Release + Review: Bossing The Cowboy by Kennedy Fox

Bossing the Cowboy

Circle B Ranch Series, #4

      

Bossing the Cowboy is now available on all retailers!

After surviving a messy divorce and custody battle, Dr. Connor Wallen quickly became married to his job. Helping animals is the perfect distraction from his crazy ex, but he finds it difficult to concentrate when an attractive woman joins his veterinary clinic. Getting involved with someone who works for him would only lead to disaster, so staying professional is key.

He tries to ignore her, but their chemistry is undeniable.

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 Connor, but she continues trying to impress him anyway.

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 whenever possible. After his walls start to crumble, she knows her feelings aren’t one-sided. She’s tired of playing his games and is ready to prove who’s really 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.**

Let me just say - I FREAKING LOVE THIS SERIES! I devoured this book in just a few hours. I could not and did not want to put it down!

Bossing The Cowboy is a work/slight age gap romance that I have been craving for a while now. In the previous stories in this series, we get glimpses of Elle and hear her complain about her boss, Dr. Dickhead - (Connor). He's the local vet and Elizabeth (Elle) works for him. Now we get all the details.

I love how this story overlaps with other stories! For the ones that have been following this series, I  think Kennedy Fox did this story justice by going back and letting us readers see these two and certain situations in Connor and Elle's eyes. 

The build is important. Without going backwards, the story would have fallen flat in my opinion.  

This was probably one of the steamier reads out of the series.  Who knew they had it in them? 

It was also the only book in the series that had tears pouring down my face. So be prepared to have tissues handy. 

I am hooked on this second generation of Bishops and I highly suggest reading this book as well as this series. I can't wait to see what Kennedy Fox has in store for the remaining Bishop family members!
