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

𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗯:

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.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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: Never Fall For Your One That Got Away by Kate O'Keefe

Release Date: July 30


If life gives you a second chance with the one that got away, should you take it?

Noah Grant was my first. He was the guy who went from childhood friend to teenage love. The guy I spent one heady, intoxicating summer with, only to have my heart snapped in two—not by him, but by me.

Fast forward twelve years and just when I think I’m finally over Noah, he’s back. Older, wiser, hotter.

Definitely hotter.

Work throws us together, and there’s no avoiding him, even if I wanted to. And I don’t want to avoid him, although I know I should.

But Noah’s hiding something. And if I let myself get close, could his secret break my heart all over again?

Never Fall for Your One that Got Away is a laugh-out-loud, swoon-worthy rom com with a second-chance-love, a totally swoony guy, and sweet romance. As with all the books in the It’s Complicated series, this is a closed-door romance with some incredible kissing and all the feels. It is a full-length novel and can be read as a standalone story.

  Blurb: 
From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Willow Winters, comes a sexy second-chance MC romance.   I took the fall for a crime I didn’t commit, and it cost me everything. Including the only woman I ever loved.   I’m not the man she fell in love with. Four years behind bars made me harder, colder… with a temper I can’t control.   But one look at Kat and nothing else matters. I’m broken without her and a shell of a person I used to be.   She is my one and only. My addiction and my sanity. I could never imagine how time would change everything and how far we’d drift apart…. but she can’t deny this heat between us and she can’t hide the way her body reacts to mine.   Kat was mine once and nothing can ever change that.   I only hope the secrets of the past four years don’t tear us apart the moment I make her mine again.  
    
  About the Author:

New Release + Review: Off Season by Chelle Sloan

 

Title: Off Season
Series: Nashville Fury, Book 3
Author: Chelle Sloan

Contemporary Romance; Sports/Football Romance; Second Chance Romance


This is a game I’m not willing to lose.


When you’re at the top of professional football, the fall to the bottom is steep.

I was the king of Nashville. Now I’m the problem child.

One minute I’m the face of the franchise. Next thing I know I’m being sent away after my self destructive ways have become too much to handle.

Little does my team know that sending me back to my hometown is the worst thing they could have done.

She’s here. The one who broke me. The one who sent me to rock bottom.

She’s also the only one who can put my damaged self back together.

I’ve loved Lucy Valenti since the moment I met her. Her big brown eyes and kind smile hooked me in. Her faith in me made me want to be a better man. She’s the only one who has ever seen me as more than a football player.

She was my end game. My final play. But I ran out of time.

Or did I? Because I can’t ignore the sparks that fly when we are around each other. Or the heat that still burns between us.

I always said the offseason was going to be our time. And if I don’t throw one last Hail Mary, it might be the end.

And this is a game I’m not willing to lose.

 

**The Nashville Fury series is a series of interconnected, standalone, sports romances.**

“Come here,” I say, pulling her to me so I can kiss her long and deep. 

“What was that for?” she asks when I finally release her lips. 

“I’m trying to remember . . . I think I did, but I wanted to make sure . . . have I told you tonight I love you?” 

Her laugh hits me in all the right spots. “Only a few times.” 

I lean back on the table, keeping her in my arms. 

“You know”—I turn a little and pat the table—“this is the spot where I fell in love with you.”

Her eyes grow wide at my statement. “You did? When?” 

“The day you asked if I was Bryce Donald.” 

Her eyebrows go up so high it’s comical. “The first time you met me? Bryce, you didn’t even know me. I was the new girl in town who spouted off math stats to anyone who would listen.” 

“Yeah, you were.” I can’t help but smile at the memory. “I knew from the first moment I laid eyes on you that you were different. I didn’t know it was love then. I was a teenager and stupid and thought the only thing that mattered was football. Yet, from the moment you walked into my life with your big brown eyes and your huge heart and random math facts, you’ve made me a better man. You’ve made me want to be a better man, even though I didn’t always show that. You changed my life that day, and I’ve loved you ever since.” 

Her eyes soften as her hands travel up to cup my cheeks. Usually when she does this, she’s bringing me in for a kiss. But this time all she does is let her thumb slowly stroke back and forth. Like she’s memorizing my face. I should know. It’s what my hands do every time they touch her body.

“Do you want to know the moment I knew I loved you?” 

I lean forward so our foreheads are touching. “When was that?” 

“The first time you called me Lulu.” 

I chuckle softly before kissing her forehead. I stay there a little longer than I intend to. It helps me push back the stray tear that’s trying to come out. 

“I knew you loved it.” 

“I only loved it because it came from you.” 

I tip her chin up and lean in, bringing our lips together for the hundredth time tonight.

“I’m going to miss you so fucking much.”

My voice cracks, and she runs her hands through my hair, trying to soothe me. “I’m going to miss you too, but it’s only a few months. We’re different now then we were then. We love each other and have thought this through. We’ve got this. You and me. September will be here before we know it.” 

Her words are strong. Confident. 

She believes in us. She believes in our love. 

She believes in me. 

I guess I only have one thing to do: make sure I’m worthy of it.





Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've been looking forward to this book since I read Chelle Sloan's first in the series, Off the Record, and I was not disappointed!

Bryce Donald is the Fury's star quarterback, except he's slipped and no longer performing like he should and blaming everyone else for his blunders. 

Lucy Valenti has been Bryce's rock for so long. When he needs reassurance, she's there. When he has a problem, she's there to help him solve it. But when will it be Lucy's turn?

This story started out as what I thought would be a feel good, lightish read, and then Chelle Sloan sucker punched me with all of the emotions!

This story had me forgiving Bryce for the past two books and falling for him, then not liking him all over again, then finally liking him again. (Yeah, I get Lucy's dilemma!)

I loved Lucy throughout the whole story and I felt for her! She knew her heart and knew when she had to put herself first. 

If you are a sports romance lover, I HIGHLY, HIGHLY suggest reading this series by Chelle Sloan. She has given us an amazing series and I can't wait to see what happens when someone realizes bro-code has been broken!

New Release: Second Chance Scandal by M. Robinson

Release Date: February 22

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author M. Robinson comes a second chance sports romance.

 

 Blackmail isn’t the most romantic way to propose, but with the history between us … I had no choice. 

 

Long story short--I broke her heart and pushed her away. Years later we reconnected, and this time she walked away. 

 

Neither of us knew she was pregnant.

 

So when we had a second chance to be a real family, I led her to believe our marriage was fake— that one football season by my side was the only way to prevent another scandal for my career. 

 

We were a publicist’s dream. I was football god and she was a world famous romance author. 

 

The world would fall in love with our story…

 

But the truth was… 

 

I was never letting them go.
