Barrett Grant is wild AF with hips he knows how to use, and he’s also eleven years younger than me…

Gabby

Get Baked is the culmination of every dream I had as a twenty-something. A dream my ex-husband stomped like a bug beneath the tip of his expensive Italian leather shoe. When I left with nothing more than my dignity and a vintage stand mixer I found at a thrift store, all I wanted was to be happy. Promised myself I wouldn’t settle until that happened.

Years later, it’s finally happening in the small town of Broken Falls, WV. My dreams are coming true, my happiness is so close I can reach out and touch it.

But my secrets? They won’t stay buried forever. Especially where Barrett Grant is concerned.

Barrett

I messed up big time with Gabby, the hot, older, owner of Get Baked. I had no business swiping right if I wasn’t going to take our relationship and her feelings seriously. When I reacted badly to a waitress who questioned if she was my mother, I should’ve let it go. 

But I didn’t, and now I can’t. Not when I miss the f*ck out of her, and lost a year off my life the night Get Baked was broken into. This time, I promise myself, I’ll give us the shot we should’ve gotten the first time.

If only she gives me a second chance.

Releasing July 17, 2024


She’s a young single mom hiding a dark past. He’s a jaded former detective who’s lost all faith in love. When a dangerous encounter forces them to live together, their mutual attraction erupts into flames. But as her secrets come to light, an unexpected threat emerges…

Scarlet Miller has flown under the radar on peaceful Hudson Island for the past year and a half, working hard to build a safe and quiet life for her four-year-old daughter. During that time, she formed unexpected friendships—and a crush on the handsome friend-of-a-friend who’s the epitome of tall, dark, and growly hotness. However, since he’s much older and way out of her league, she knows nothing will come of it. Besides, with her chaotic history, romantic relationships are off the table.

Matt Alvarez has come a long way since arriving on Hudson Island angry, bitter, and reclusive. With time, therapy, and the help of his friends, he’s recovered from a career-threatening injury and joined Hudson Security. He’s eager to make a positive difference through his work, and while he’s not the most social guy, he’s looking forward to building relationships in his newfound community. Well, except for Scarlet. Something about the beautiful waitress with the rainbow-streaked hair ties his tongue in knots. But no matter how alluring he finds her, she’s way too young for him. Which is fine, because after a dramatic divorce, the last thing he wants is any sort of commitment.

When dire circumstances push them together, their protective walls crumble, revealing an undeniable connection. But as their relationship blossoms, Scarlet’s buried secrets claw to the surface, bringing unforeseen perils with them. Can Matt protect Scarlet from the shadows of her past? Or will her skeletons destroy their future?

Release Blitz & Review - JASPER by Laramie Briscoe

 

Title: Jasper (Broken Falls, #3) 

Author: Laramie Briscoe

Genre:Contemporary Romance 

Release Date:May 24, 2024

Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

I never thought my fake marriage, would become real...

Jasper Hamilton

I've always been a pawn in the game of chess my grandfather prefers to play with me. It started when I was a child who didn't have anywhere else to go after my parents were killed. Gone was my home full of love and warmth, and in its place was a mansion with a man as cold as a winter night. The only thing that kept me sane were my friends. Those blue-collar buddies who didn't care about my grandpa's bank account.

I never cared about the money either. Until he threatens to take away the one thing I love in this world. The foundation created in their memory. The only way for me to get it back? Play by his rules, take a wife, and secure an heir. Something I never planned to do after growing up the way I did. But the way I respond to Daisy Williams, and the satisfaction I get from calling her my wife makes me feel like I've been promoted from Pawn to King.

Tropes Included: small town blue collar marriage of convenience brooding for everyone but her

Jasper is book three in The Broken Falls Series: a series of interconnected standalones following a group of friends who have become family in small-town West Virginia, and the women who bring them to their knees. You do not have to read them in order, but each book builds upon the relationships of the last.

4 Stars

Another favorite from Broken Falls for me. Jasper is a wonderful tale of pushing pass the fears and walls you build to protect yourself. But are you really protecting yourself or are you selling yourself short? Many emotions as Jasper and Daisy take this leap into a second chance.

Jasper lost his parents at a very young age and lived with his cold and stern uncle. Thankfully to Boone and his friends, he knows what true family is all about. Though he still keeps everyone just outside of reach most times. If you don't let them in you won't hurt as badly when they are gone.

Daisy is doing her best to keep on trucking. Working at the pre school with all those sweet little people is hard damn work, but she loves it. Still nursing a long broken heart but enjoying watching her friends find their true love.

Is Daisy crazy for agreeing to help Jasper? Could this be the second chance she has long hoped for? Will Jasper open up to the feelings he has always had but kept pushed away? Grab your copy and fall into the small town setting, enjoy this non traditional second chance.

Release Blitz - TWO TICKETS TO PARADISE by Hannah Blowers


Release Date: May 24



I do what any jilted bride would do in my situation—escape to Hawaii with my best friend for my nonrefundable honeymoon…and pretend we’re married.

My happily ever after takes a nosedive when my fiance dumps me at the altar for his ex. So instead of toasting to marital bliss, I plan on drowning my sorrows in tequila. And instead of promising forever, he's promising I'll never have to see him again if I hand over the tickets to Hawaii. I can’t believe my ears at first when he tells me he wants to whisk his girlfriend away on what was supposed to be our romantic getaway. Talk about rubbing salt in the wound!

But when life hands you a lime, you put it in a coconut.

Licking my wounds in paradise was the last thing I wanted to think about in my dispirited condition, but now I have a perfectly good reason to go—so he can’t.

Enter Holden Santos, the guy who's seen me through braces, bad haircuts and questionable fashion choices and miraculously stuck around. Now we’re rocking wedding rings, snuggling in a king-sized bed at a luxury resort and playing doting newlyweds as we sip cocktails by the pool. Piece of cake, right?

Until we share a kiss for appearances, that’s so explosive, it reignites feelings I thought were long buried. The butterflies that once fluttered in my stomach during algebra class awaken with a vengeance.

Now I’m at a crossroads. Do I lock away my feelings like the letters I never sent him one year at summer camp? Or do I take the leap, risking it all to lay my heart bare, knowing the consequence could be losing him—the man who’s become my everything, my confidant, my anchor—forever?

3.5 Stars

What an adventure this book is, a cartel, ememies to lovers story full of twists and turns, the sweetest litte girl and chemistry sizzling off the pages. 

Lola had done so much to find herself the past few years, after escaping the man who did nothing but beat her down mentally and physically. When she finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time, she is thrown right back into the middle of that horrible world she tried to hard to steer clear of. The difference this time is she has sharpened her arsenal and is not backing down and giving in easy. She has worked too hard for that. What she finds in the depths of this Narco is not at all what she expected.

Santiago is at the top of his empire and takes as he sees fit to keep himself there. But he wasn't always on the top of anything and that once little boy doing everything possible to survive still lives deep inside. His heart is bigger than he wan't anyone to know. His "daughter" is living proof of that,  though she comes with her how set of challenges. Following his gut, he lets Lola live when he would normally have just too out the loose end. He never imagined he would be falling for this woman and doing everything he could to keep her safe.

Though I did enjoy the book, I did feel like it was a little slow and lengthy. I found myself thinking I was never going to get to the end at times. The passion and determination, the hidden love and emotions the author is able to bring to the table does make the slower pace worth while.
