Book Review - HAUNTED by C.B. Noy

Haunted, book 1 in the brand new On The Hunt series by C.B.Noy is #Live and #freeonKU.

Keaton

Son of a serial killer. That would have been my legacy if I hadn’t joined the FBI and moved to the small college town in Huntington, West Virginia. Being a federal agent was never in my crosshairs. Neither was falling for the down-on-her-luck beauty I found living out in her car. Yet both felt as natural as breathing.

Henley was my chance to live a life I didn’t think I deserved. So when history started repeating itself, bringing my haunted past precariously close to threatening our future, I closed ranks around her.

I’d walk through the fiery gates of hell if it meant keeping her safe. Too bad I didn’t realize she’d have to walk beside me.

Release Blitz - THE SINNER by Marni Mann

The Sinner by Marni Mann is now live!

A scorching hot, he-falls-first, touch-her-and-die, billionaire romance from USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann …

The first time I saw her, I wanted her.

The second time I saw her, I knew she had to be mine.

Beautiful blonde hair. Cornflower-blue eyes. Body to die for.

All things I knew I couldn’t live without.

But after one night, she ghosted me, leaving me desperate for another taste.

I was usually the one to walk out the door before the morning light came.

This time, it was her, but not without becoming my obsession in the process.

Lily was a mystery.

She had a past shrouded in secrets she was unwilling to divulge.

She was running from something, and I was determined to find out what it was.

And once I did, I’d do anything to protect her.

They called me the sinner for a reason.

Because I wouldn’t hesitate to burn down the world or cross any line to save her.

Release Blitz & Review - LOVE, UTLEY by S.J. Tilly

Love, Utley by S.J. Tilly is now live!

Hannah

Maddox Lovelace. The captivating football player I met in college.

The one I only knew for a week. A week that was… life-changing.

Until my phone rang, and I had no choice but to go home.

I left Maddox a letter, putting my feelings on paper, giving him my number, hoping he’d call.

But he didn’t call.

He never called.

He got drafted into the professional league and lived like a king while I stayed home and struggled to stay afloat.

I may have followed his career, but now that he’s retired from football, I’ve forced myself to stop thinking about him.

And it’s okay that I won’t ever see him again. That week in college was fifteen years ago.

I’m not in love with Maddox anymore.

I might even hate him.

Maddox

Hannah Utley. The name that’s haunted me since my senior year of college.

The girl who caught my attention with her wide eyes and freckled nose.

Who spent one week twisting up my insides until she stole a piece of my heart the night we got locked inside the campus library.

The girl who disappeared without a word.

It’s the name of the girl I’ve been trying to forget for fifteen years.

And it’s the name looking up at me from the résumé in my hand.

Because Hannah Utley works for the company I just purchased.

And that makes her mine. Whether she likes it or not.

When life gives you your enemy, you make a deal with him…

Leo Wells is the last person I want to be skating with.

Masked men tasked to watch over me. Stalk me. Rarely leaving my side.

Cover Reveal - THE PLAYER'S CLUB by Fallon Greer

Fallon Greer has revealed the cover for The Player's Club!

Releasing August 4, 2024

It was supposed to be a simple assignment: stake out the golden boy hockey player Cole "Mac" Mackenzie as he exited the arena after a Los Angeles Blades game.

Follow him.

Get dirt on his personal life--something salacious to please the money-hungry gossip rag I worked for.

But I missed the moment Mac left the building. Or so I thought...

Twenty minutes later, I saw actual Mac exit after the media left. Apparently, he'd used a decoy to throw off the press--waiting until everyone left to make his getaway in private.

I started following the real Mac, and got more than I bargained for.

He led me to a mystery building tucked away in the middle of the suburbs.

Turned out, he was going to... a private club.

A club that wasn't for the faint of heart--as I'd soon find out after sneaking in.

I wasn't expecting to connect with Mac inside. Nor did I anticipate him to invite me back as his personal guest.

What started as a simple assignment turned into something much more--my biggest fantasy I never knew I had.

This wasn't about the tabloid story anymore. I lied to my boss, told him there was nothing to see.

Meanwhile, I kept returning to the club.

I was addicted to unraveling the mysteries of Mac's world.

Addicted to the man who lit a fire inside me.

But--with my own secret--it was only a matter of time before I got burned.

So, I knock at my new neighbor's door.

And boom! Mr. Grumpy King answers: 6' 2", piercing eyes, not impressed--oh, and did I mention, completely naked?

It's a double surprise: I'm shocked, and my towel drops, leaving me in all my glory.

Later at the bar, I'm thinking we'll share a drink, laugh it off.

The bigger bombshell?

He's NYC's most ruthless hotel mogul who just bought half my hotel shares.

And he thinks he can sweet-talk me into giving up the rest.

I don't care how hot he is, or how much my body protests.

In my defense, he locked lips first.

I even attempted to keep my panties on during our first date.

Because just when I think there might be an "us," I find myself jobless, apartment-hunting, and questioning all my life choices.

Stevie

There’s nothing more liberating than picking up your life and relocating. I needed a fresh start, desperately looking to get away from my past. Stewart Grove is such a cute small town and seems like the perfect place to settle. Add in the fact I got a job serving at the popular Burgers and Brew restaurant, and everything seems to be clicking into place.

Then single dad Jack Harper sat down at one of my tables and turned my world upside down.

I wasn’t expecting to meet a man so quickly after moving, let alone one ten years my senior, but there’s no denying the instant connection. The problem is, I carry a secret. One that could destroy this new life I’m creating.

I just pray it all doesn’t blow up in my face.

Then I met her.

Stevie Clement is completely unexpected in the best sort of way, and I find myself drawn to her like I’ve never experienced. I want all of her time, in my life and in my bed.

However, it may come down to an impossible decision: my kids or the woman I want to spend my life with.

J. Saman has revealed the gorgeous cover for Undeniably Forbidden!

Releasing: July 22, 2024

Cover Design: Lori Jackson Design

Photographer: Michelle Lancaster

Model: Sean

In my defense, I had no clue the gorgeous guy I had a wildly steamy night with was my brother's best friend. Or the single dad of the little girl I was about to nanny.

I hadn't seen Dr. Owen Fritz since I was twelve and he was twenty-four, but even back then, I didn't care much about him.

He was doing his billionaire, master-of-the-universe, medical school thing, and I was too into art and books to notice anyone.

Now he's cold and broody, but he doesn't scare me the way he does everyone else.

He's been scarred, but I've been scarred worse.

We both promise to leave that night in the past, vowing to keep this secret between us and stay professional from now on.

Especially since I'm living with him—sleeping down the hall from him—and his adorable little girl.

Until one night of hell changes everything and all those promises we've been struggling to keep don't just break, they shatter.

Now there's no holding him back.

And the more he watches me with those magnetic eyes or whisks me into dark corners and puts his heated hands on my body, the more I forget why what we're doing is so undeniably forbidden.

We're playing with an unstoppable fire.

And we're both about to get burned.
