New Release + Review: How To Win The Girl by Sara Ney

HOW TO WIN THE GIRL

Sara Ney

Release Date: May 24

FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

 
 I, Drake Colter, solemnly swear I do not want a girlfriend…   

 Carefree and ridiculously good-looking, I have the entire student body eating from the palm of my hand—shouldn’t I let the ladies on campus have their fill rather than being tied down? If only my brother Drew would take notes from my playbook. As identical twins, we share the same voice, the same face, and the same physique; it’s virtually impossible to tell us apart—but that’s where the similarities end.   

 Lately, my brother has been whining about wanting to settle down with. He longs for affection, companionship and all the bullshit that goes along with it blah blah blah. 
 
Problem is, he’s hopeless when it comes to dating. It’s seriously embarrassing to watch, considering we’re identical; everyone thinks I’m him and everyone thinks he’s me.   
 
Luckily I’m not intimidated by woman and have plenty of experience. I might not want to find myself a girlfriend, but that don’t mean I can’t help him. Dude never needs to know!   

 And that’s the very thing that lands me in trouble…
   
 
 
    

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was a fun read! Sara Ney is one of the best at writing opposites attract romances!

Drake's decision to insert himself in his brother's life goes topsy-turvy when he meets Daisy. This enemies to friends to lovers but with a mistaken identity twist kept me glued to the pages and entertained all the way through. 

I loved these two! Drake's self-assurance should come off as cocky and a turn-off, but it becomes comical, and you can't help but smile at him, especially when the script gets flipped on him. Daisy is unapologetically herself, which is a breath of fresh air for not just Drake but also for me, the reader. 

I can't wait to see what Drew's story will be about and who will be the one to catch his attention.

New Release + Review: How To Lose At Love by Sara Ney

Release Date: January 19


I needed a good girl to save my bad reputation.
 
With too much on my plate, the very last thing on my mind was a relationship—the football draft was looming and dating got in the way. I never understood why my teammates bothered with girlfriends. None of us had the time.
 
When my sports agent suggested that being seen in public with a respectable girl would be good for my bad reputation, I couldn’t think of a single person to help me out. The only girls I knew weren’t wifey material, and the ones who were? Might catch feelings.
 
Except Ryann Winters.
 
Responsible. Sarcastic. Smart. Ryann was perfect but there was one clincher: she was my teammates ex-girlfriend and I had recently been paid by him to dump her.
 
Not the best start to a fake relationship…

Sara Ney is one of those unicorn authors for me. Whenever I'm in a book slump, or in a mood funk, her stories always seems to bring me out of whatever I'm dealing with. 

I fell hard for How To Lose At Love! It's a fun, addictive read that I didn't want to end. It's comical but not over the top. There are these quotes from different characters in the stories that are hilarious and full of sarcasm.

It starts with Dallas being paid by his teammate to break up with said teammate's girlfriend, who is Ryann, the heroine in the story. 

The nerve, right?! Well, fate intervenes and now Dallas needs Ryann to help him out. 

I may be embarrassing myself but I didn't realize Dallas was Duke's brother until he was telling Ryann about his brother hiding out with a kindergarten teacher. (The Secret Roommate - which is also another great one to read!) Then I realized how similar Dallas's personality was to his brother's. (There are also twin brothers in this family who hopefully will both get their turn at love.)

If you are looking for a fun read that will hook you, then you need to read this one!

New Release + Review: The Sculptor by Kristy Marie


The Sculptor, a steamy, second chance, forbidden romance full of angsty tension and devastating secrets is LIVE and FREE with Kindle Unlimited! 

The Sculptor 

Kristy Marie

The Hands of the Potters, Bk 3

π—•π—Ήπ˜‚π—Ώπ—―:

Dr. Duke Potter is no hero. 

Nor am I some damsel that needs saving—if that’s what we’re calling it. 

But that’s exactly what Duke thinks he did when he found me on the arm of a short-tempered congressman, arranged to be married. 

I should have told him the truth.

The real reason behind my involvement with the congressman. 

I shouldn’t have danced in his arms and reminisced about the time when we ran away together. 

But I most definitely shouldn’t have chugged that last drink and said, “I do,” marrying my childhood love. 

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time Duke and I have caused a scandal. 

This time, though, we have more than just our reputations on the line. 

Duke will never let me go. 

There is no annulment in our future. 

Only the consequences of the devastating secret I’ve kept from our past.

The Sculptor is the next installment of the Potter brothers and features the youngest Potter brother, Duke. It is a full-length novel and features crossover characters from the novels, The Potter and The Refiner.

If you are looking for a fantastic, five star read that will leave you with a book hangover, this is the one for you!

Kristy Marie has given us one heck of a story that took my breath (and a piece of my heart)! The Sculptor isn't like anything I've read from Kristy Marie and yet it still gives me that same feel that I get when I read all her stories. 

This story grabbed me, tugged at my heart strings, made me laugh, made me cry, and made me fall in love with love. 

Be prepared to fall head over heels in love with Duke Potter! His story isn't ANYTHING that I was expecting going in and left me loving him all the more after finishing it. 

Grab those tissues, you may need them!


***While this can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading the series in order.***


About the Author:



A self-proclaimed reader enthusiast, Kristy started her writing journey back in 2009, reading and writing when her daughter was napping. Establishing her place in Corporate America (because something had to pay the bills), writing became her dirty, late-night secret.


After eight long years, she released her debut novel, Commander. It was a long road, but she can honestly say, the road less traveled had the most beautiful sights.

The only thing Kristy Marie loves as much as reading and writing is sports! Especially those that require muscles and a nice ass. Her favorite is, and always will be, baseball. She's such a fan, that she even married her small town's high school's centerfielder where they still live with their three badass kids.

New Release + Review: The Secret Roommate by Sara Ney

Release Date: October 3


All I need is a place to hide for a few weeks.

 

The paparazzi were on my ass 24/7 and I needed a bit of breathing room—an escape from the madness—before the media frenzy begins.

 

Sure, I could have gone to a secluded cabin in the woods—but I didn’t want to be bored out of my mind. I’d seen enough wide open spaces as a kid from Texas to last me a lifetime.

 

So instead, I let my agent hook me up with a modest house in the burbs where we didn’t think anyone would find me hiding in plain sight.

 

I’d have a roommate; but supposedly, she was going to give me space. Stay out of my way and respect my boundaries. According to my agent, I wouldn’t hear a peep from her.

 

Wrong. He was wrong about everything and now my life was never going to be the same.

Sara Ney just took some of the best tropes, mixed them up, and created an addictive read! I literally read it in one day!
Enemies to friends to lovers, opposites attract, secret relationship - Duke and Posey's story was everything I hoped for and more!

Duke is loud, large and unapologetically...bold and brazen. BUT he brings out this other side to Posey, who is a kindergarten teacher that is normally calm and reserved. 

The banter between these two is so entertaining! I can't choose a favorite part, but the cake scene, the hammock incident, the con artist neighbor, are some of my favorites!

While you can easily read and enjoy this story without reading the previous stories in this series, I highly suggest reading the previous ones first. You won't regret it. Sara Ney writes the best binge-worthy stories.

New Release + Review: Seducing the Cowboy by Kennedy Fox

Seducing the Cowboy

Circle B Ranch, #9

           

Seducing the Cowboy is now available on all retailers!

After leaving his hometown seven years ago, Payton hasn’t returned. One heartbreak was enough to turn him off relationships forever. As soon as he arrived at the Circle B Ranch, they treated him like family—something he’s never had—and he met the one woman he shouldn’t want. He’s put her in the friend zone, but after agreeing to her proposition, he can’t hold back anymore. Kaitlyn Bishop is the only woman on the ranch without a husband and kids. A family is all she’s ever wanted, but it’s never been in her cards. Since she’s turned thirty, she’s decided to go to the sperm bank or ask her best friend to knock her up. She knows being friends with benefits is a bad idea, but she’s willing to take the risk. Their agreement is purely transactional, but they’ll soon find themselves in too deep—something they’re too stubborn to admit. However, they only have nine months to figure it out.   

**Seducing 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.**

Kennedy Fox did an amazing job with Seducing The Cowboy! This is the last of the second generation series and my heart is full and emotional at the same time. After nine books, I have become attached to this family! 

This book is Kaitlyn and Payton's story. It's a friends to friends with benefits to lovers romance story. 

Being the last one still single, and Kaitlyn's biological clock ticking, she decides to take matters into her own hands and use a sperm bank. 

That doesn't sit well with her best friend Payton and the two form an agreement.

It's supposed to be transactional only but how many times has that worked out?

I thoroughly enjoyed these two along with Kane and Knox being the best aggravating meddling brothers they can be!

Then that extra epilogue! My heart broke a little but the story that is to come made up for it!

If you have never met the Bishop clan, you need to remedy that ASAP! There are two generations out there and a third generation is coming!

New Release + Review: The Refiner by Kristy Marie

 

The Refiner, a steamy, enemies-to-lovers romance by international bestselling author, Kristy Marie, is LIVE and FREE with KU!



The Refiner

Kristy Marie

The Hands of the Potters, Bk 2


Blurb

Wealthy. 

Entitled.

Monarch.

Dr. Astor Potter was everything I despised in a man. 

It didn’t matter that he was my sister’s one-night stand or her closest colleague. 

I wasn’t charmed by his philanthropy or the way he made babies laugh using those ridiculous voices.

Dr. Potter was cold, detached, and reeked of disdain. 

Nothing mattered to him. 

Not the messages I left. 

Or the tears I shed. 

Nothing brought him to life. 

Until my sister died. 

And I placed my newborn niece in his arms. 

Her father’s arms.

He didn’t know about the baby. 

Neither did I.

They say love can’t be born from hate and grief. 

I’m inclined to agree. 

But then he asked me to stay…

Grab your tissues, some chocolate and maybe someone to buddy read with because Kristy Marie has just delivered one of her most emotionally charged stories Don't worry if you are a fan of Kristy Marie's sass and sarcasm, because she delivers it in spades as well.

The amount of times she had me snorting with laughter while I'm in the middle of pouring my eyes out were too many to count. And on the flip side, she brought out the tears while I was fully enjoying a scene or two. 

It's no secret that I love Kristy Marie's writing but this story is one of my new favorites of hers. The way she balanced the mix of emotions and the love story that she built out of a tragedy would seem almost impossible yet she freaking nailed it! I'm in complete awe of her ability to put words on a page that transforms into movie-like quality in my head. 

Be prepared to fall in love with Astor and Keagan! Keys is a woman that you just can't help pulling for and wanting her to have her HEA. And Astor! This man - Can he be any better?!?! 

Then there is the Potter clan which includes the infamous Remington! I am in love with this family and Kristy Marie made sure we got our fair share of these men and Halle.

If you are looking for a memorable read, one that just sticks with you and you find yourself not wanting it to end, READ THIS BOOK! It's phenomenal, beautifully told, and will have you falling in love with love all over again! Go in blind, avoid the spoilers, and enjoy it!

New Release + Review: The Runaway Alien by K. Webster and Nicole Blanchard

The Runaway Alien

by K Webster & Nicole Blanchard Publication Date: June 13, 2021 Genres: Adult, Sci-Fi, Romance

Amazon: Amazon US | Amazon INTL | Series

Everyone found their mate. 
Except me. 
I’m destined to die alone. 

 Being jealous of my brothers and their happiness is something I’m not proud of. But this simmering anger won’t cool. I want to move past my own feelings and focus on winning the war against the Kevins. 

But then she calls for help. Stella. 

She’s fierce and protective over her son, but she’s no match against a pack of sabrevipes—or the Kevins here to destroy us. 
 Time is of the essence, and she needs me. 

It means running from the fight my people are in the midst of and setting off on a reckless mission with terrible odds. 

I’m determined, though. 
I’ll protect my runaway alien at all costs.

Stella may hate every creature on Mortuus, including us morts, but it won’t stop me from keeping her and her son safe. 

If she hates me for that, so be it. 
I’d rather have her annoyed company than spend another second alone. 
 
Fate has brought me to them, as though delivering me right to my mate. 

All I have to do is convince her she’s forever mine. 
 
This is the ninth and final story in the Lost Planet Series.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm so happy that I finally got my next Faction kick but sad at the same time because it's the conclusion to the series!

K. Webster and Nicole Blanchard did an awesome job with The Runaway Alien and tying everything together to leave us readers satisfied with the conclusion of the entire series. 

Galen and Stella were fun to read. Stella, who's been mistreated over and over again, doesn't trust Galen.

Galen just wants someone to call his own. 
These two are thrown into so many situations that they have to choose to work together. 

Like the books prior, I read this book straight through! I highly suggest reading this series!

New Release + Review: Tempting the Cowboy by Kennedy Fox

Tempting the Cowboy

Circle B Ranch, #8

        

Tempting the Cowboy is now available on all retailers!

Kane Bishop’s content with living and working on the ranch, but something is missing—a family of his own. After his twin brother married the woman he once loved, Kane has moved on and is now focusing on new things. When his best friend’s little sister re-enters his life, the attraction is undeniable, but the timing is all wrong. He should keep his distance and not tempt fate, but he can’t get her out of his head. Ivy’s had a secret crush on Kane for as long as she can remember. Although she’s an introverted bookworm who hasn’t dated much, she’s ready to go after him. He might be a six-foot-three, inked, muscular god who’s out of her league, but she wants him to be her first and only. She’ll risk it all to get his attention, but it won’t be easy since he’s off-limits. Giving in to temptation doesn’t come without consequences—it’ll either bring them together or tear them apart. 
  **Tempting 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.**

Kennedy Fox has done it again! They've delivered a story that once I started, I just couldn't put it down!

You know the saying that a man wants a lady on the street and a freak in the bed? Kane Bishop is the male version of this. He is thoughtful, attentive, caring and behind closed doors he's got a whole other side. 

I really loved that Ivy was a booktrovert. Her character was so relatable. 

I really enjoyed reading Kane's happy ending but I'm also sad because I know the ending to this series is very near. 

I'm going to miss the Bishop family.
