New Release + Review: Unlikely Date by Samantha Christy

One blind date changes everything.

Unlikely Date, a steamy, playboy meets good girl contemporary romance from Amazon bestselling author Samantha Christy, is available now!

Town playboy.
CEO extraordinaire.
Monumental prick.
And my blind date.

Tag Calloway is toxic. If you aren’t in his small inner circle of friends, you’re nothing.
An inconvenience at best.
And it’s just my luck that my first blind date—heck, my first date since ‘The Incident’––happens to be with him.
I’ve spent years hiding myself from men. From life. Wallowing in guilt and camouflaging my body.
I live for one reason. Gigi. The broken-condom accident who has become the singular light of my life.
Why did I let my friends talk me into this?
He’s the last person I should trust with my feelings. My body. My scars.

But when our night turns into something I never expected, common sense fails me and I fall hard, knowing this time, it won’t be my body that suffers gruesome damage, it will be my heart.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Let me start off by saying that if you can read this and NOT fall for Gigi, something is SERIOUSLY wrong with you!

Unlikely Date is my introduction to Samantha Christy and will definitely not be my last. Tag has a lot of siblings that I've met in this story and can't wait to see what happens with them. 

Back to this story...

Tag and Maddie are as opposite as it gets. 

Tag is an unapologetically crude playboy that has no desire to be tied down. He has been one of the biggest aholes I've read in a while. 

Maddie is a single mom that keeps to herself and focuses all of her time on her daughter. She's the invisible girl but only because she tries to be. 

Fate (in the guise of a dating app that's more like a booty app) brings them together and they are both appalled at first. (The banter is great by the way!)

Maddie, unbeknownst to her, does something no other woman has been able to do. She thaws out Tag's heart. 

This story was fun to read but it also hit me in the feels a few times. (That part at the end of the epilogue had tears just falling down my face!)

I highly suggest reading this if you like the contemporary romances that are fun to read, has a splash of the emotional moments, and leave you feeling fuzzy inside. 



About Samantha Christy
Samantha Christy’s passion for writing started long before her first novel was published. Graduating from the University of Nebraska with a degree in Criminal Justice, she held the title of Computer Systems Analyst for The Supreme Court of Wisconsin and several major universities around the United States. Raised mainly in Indianapolis, but also living in Lincoln, NE for a time, she decided to devote herself to family upon the birth of her third child and became a stay-at-home mom. It was then when the writing bug really took hold as she was a voracious reader. Being a stay-at-home mom facilitated her ability to follow her dream of becoming an author.
When she is not writing, she keeps busy cruising to every Caribbean island ships sail to. Samantha Christy currently resides near St. Augustine, Florida with her husband and the two of her four children who haven’t flown the nest. Oh, and her dog, Ozzy, who she worships and thinks is the most adorable Whoodle on the planet.

New Release: Crossing The Line by Jessica Prince

 

Title: Crossing The Line
Author: Jessica Prince
Series: Whitecap


Contemporary Romance; Small Town Romance; Single Mom Romance



Some lines are meant to be crossed.

Trent Montgomery knew all about loyalty and responsibility. Tracking down his friend’s long-lost sister and making sure she was safe was just another job, a favor from someone he cared about. He wasn’t supposed to get attached. But when he started to fall for the woman who had been hiding from the world, things got a lot more complicated than he ever expected.

Cheyanne Knightly knew all about living in fear. The life she’d made for her and her daughter was as stable as a house of cards. One stiff breeze could send her whole world crumbling. But when a new guy blew into her small town, stirring up Whitecap’s rumor mill, she found herself drawn to him in a way she never expected.

Lies were told. Secrets were uncovered. Lines were crossed. When the truth finally came out, Trent had to find a way to protect the woman who stole his heart while he tried to earn her trust back.

 

**The Whitecap series is a brand new series of interconnected, standalone, small town romances.**

Goodreads

Read for FREE with Kindle Unlimited

Amazon US | Amazon Worldwide




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.

“Monica said the dude was ogling you like you were a three-course meal and he hadn’t eaten in a month.”

“Like I said, she exaggerated.”

Right?

Nope, I silently screamed to myself. I wasn’t going to start questioning it because it didn’t matter. Not at all.

She looked at me, her expression pinched with skepticism. “Was she also exaggerating when she said she thought you’d stroked out for a minute and lost the power of speech when he came up and introduced himself to you?”

I snorted and took a gulp of my margarita, smiling as I admitted, “No, she might have been spot-on with that one.”

Luna’s head fell back on a laugh. “At least you’re willing to own it.”

“It’s not my fault! There isn’t a woman on the planet who could help it,” I exclaimed. “I mean, the dude had dimples, for Christ’s sake. Dimples.”


Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I am so here for this new series! Jessica Prince did an amazing cross-over from her Hope Valley series into this new Whitecap series. 

Cheyenne is in hiding. To the world, she's supposed to be dead. But the Alpha Omega team know otherwise and they send Trent to find her. 

These types of stories are what Jessica Prince excels at - Where two people that are attracted to each other - whether they want to be or not, whether they try to fight it or just go for it - and have AMAZING chemistry, have drama that isn't over the top and unnecessary and leaves the readers feeling satisfied once everything is over. 

I can't wait to see what's in store next for this series! Bruiser, I mean Luna, needs her story told ASAP!

New Release + Review: Crave Thy Neighbor by Teagan Hunter

  Crave Thy Neighbor 
(Roommate Romps #3)
 by Teagan Hunter 
Release Date: April 8th   

  Add to Goodreads:
 
AVAILABLE NOW!!! 
Amazon US: amazon.com/dp/B08ZYT8BMN  
Blurb: 
Don’t fall for your roommate…especially when it’s only temporary. Nolan Brooks is off limits. Sure, he’s insanely attractive and funny and I might have almost gone home with him one night to relieve a little stress. Big deal. It was all just a momentary lapse in judgment…just like the kiss we shared. He’s my temporary roommate while I wait for my new apartment to be ready. That’s it. He’s doesn’t do relationships, and he doesn’t do attachments. So what if I have a crush on him? We’ll only be there for two months. Surely I can survive that long.       
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This series is one of my favorites!

Each book in this series has had some pretty hot scenes but I think Nolan and Maya took it up a notch. 

Maya and Nolan had the BEST chemistry! Even when they put each other in the "Don't touch that" category, they still couldn't deny the attraction. It was angsty and then it was full on HOT!

On top of the main story, Teagan also catches us up on the characters from the previous stories and they are every bit as fun in this story as well. 

I highly recommend this story as well as the other two books in this series. They are all fun, hot and addictive reads!

I can't wait to see what happens with Dean's sister and her roommate.


  About Teagan:
TEAGAN HUNTER is a Missouri-raised gal but currently lives in South Carolina with her Marine veteran husband, where she spends her days begging him for a cat.
 She survives off coffee, pizza, and sarcasm. When she’s not writing, you can find her binge-watching various TV shows, especially Supernatural and One Tree Hill. She enjoys cold weather, buys more paperbacks than she’ll ever read, and never says no to brownies.

New Release + Review: Hawk by Kat Savage

Release Date: February 23

What’s in this story?
> A Bad Boy Tattoo Shop Owner
> A Strong Single Mom 
> Deliciously Hot Steam
> All The Swoon
> Heart Melting Moments

 
Hawk Tanner is not a man of many words—especially if you’re a silly girl getting a silly tattoo in his shop. The owner of Bird’s Eye Tattoo Studio doesn’t want you to tip him with your phone number or flirty glances. He’s tired of all the wrong women wanting him for all the wrong reasons.
 
Drew Ashby has no time—for anything. As a recently-divorced single mother, her focus is on finding a job, caring for her daughter, and rebuilding some semblance of a life after hers was wrecked.
 
When Drew lands a job at Bird’s Eye, sparks don’t immediately fly. She can't deny the fact that her boss is a delicious specimen of a man. His tattoo-covered skin might even drive her wild, but his brooding presence and set jaw make him hard to read.
 
That is, until he drops the bad boy persona and starts making moves on her—kind and caring gestures she doesn't expect.
 
Things turn hot, and just when Drew thinks everything is finally going right, life does what it does best: It throws her a curveball from her past.
 
Bird’s Eye might not be the family Drew envisioned for herself, but ideals can change in a heartbeat. There’s no doubt Hawk is the man she wants, but can he step up and be the man she needs?

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Every psycho needs his straight jacket. 

This opposites-attract, single parent, workplace romance was such a great read and a fantastic start to a new series!

I fell absolutely head over heels for Hawk!
He's the owner of his own business, gets all the ladies' numbers, but Drew throws him for a loop. And let's not forget Ava!

The writing in this story is fluid. From the very beginning, everything flows naturally. It was so easy to get lost in. 

Then that epilogue!  It was a definite swoon moment.

Meet Kat Savage

Kat Savage resides in Louisville, Kentucky with her three beautiful children, her hunky spouse, and two spoiled dogs. She secretly has hope of getting chickens one day. 

By day, she’s an office manager, pushing paperwork and daydreaming. When she’s not at her nine-to-five, she’s writing. Or thinking about writing. Or preparing books and book stuff. Or quite possibly, designing stuff for other people’s books. 

She was driven to writing out of a need to distraction and self-preservation after the death of her sister in 2013. Since then, it’s snowballed into a full blown passion she can’t escape. Even on the toughest days, she wouldn’t want to.

She writes poetry packed with real, raw, and sometimes ugly truths. She won’t lie. Her goal is to make you ache, in that perfect delicious way we often secretly crave.

Shortly after putting her poetry and prose out into the world, she turned to novel writing. Savage is a natural storyteller, getting better with each book. She tries to give the characters in her novels depth, whether they’re serious or comical, she builds them in layers with the hope that you see a little of yourself in some of them.

New Release + Review: Pushing You Away by Kennedy Fox

Pushing You Away

Noah & Katie duet, #1

Ex-Con Duet Series

 

Pushing You Away is now available on all retailers!

I’ve been in love with my best friend Katie Walker for as long as I can remember. We may have shared our deepest, darkest secrets but that one I’ve kept to myself. Before I got the courage to confess my true feelings, my cousin Gabe moved to town and swept Katie off her feet.

I should’ve admitted how I felt but I couldn’t—especially once they got married. When I caught Gabe cheating on his pregnant wife, I snapped. A deadly fight erupted and before I could comprehend what happened, I was charged with his murder and sent to prison. The day I’m released, I go straight to Katie’s house. But after pushing her away for a decade while I was behind bars—she slams the door in my face—wanting nothing to do with me. While she’s determined to pretend I don’t exist, this time I’m not going anywhere.

PUSHING YOU AWAY is a slow burn, angsty friends to lovers romance with lots of small-town, Southern drama. It's book 1 in the Noah & Katie duet and must be read in order.

I've been waiting on Noah & Katie's duet since they were introduced/hinted at in Tyler & Gemma's stories. 

Noah was sent to prison for the death of his cousin, who also happened to be Katie's husband and the father of her son, Owen. 
If you've read the duet prior to this (or the blurb), then this is nothing new. 

Now that Noah is finally released, he has to win back the trust of his best friend and the girl he let get away years ago. 

On top of that, there is someone or someones out to make a point that Noah isn't welcome.

This story a slow burn but when it finally gets heated - HOLY CRAP - it gets incredibly hot! 

I have this love/hate thing with Kennedy Fox and their duets! I love the stories but freaking H - the cliffhangers!!! I can't wait to see how this story plays out! Kennedy Fox did an awesome job at teasing this one! So much drama!

While it's not necessary to read Tyler & Gemma's duet prior to reading Noah & Katie's story, their story is worth reading and teases Noah & Katie's as well as the bond between all three girls.
