Release Blitz & Review - SECOND SHOT WITH #76 by Piper Rayne

 

Second Shot with #76 by Piper Rayne is now live!

My mom always said you don't get a second shot at making a first impression. I've remembered that my entire career. Especially since I'm one of the few black men who play professional hockey.

I'm calculated and respectful in the way I speak to my coaches, the owners, and the media. I've never taken a risk... until her.

I could blame it on the fact that for once I pushed away the pressure of my career for the ocean waves, the sand, and good times with my new teammates. But those are excuses because the minute I saw her at the airport, something lit up inside me and the best week of my life was spent with her in my bed.

After our week in paradise, we said goodbye, exchanged phone numbers and both assumed that unless one of us was flying through the other's city on the opposite side of the country, our vacation fling was over.

Then one night after practice I see her. She's here. In my city. Telling me she moved here for a job. If that's not fate tell me what is.

I've never wanted a second shot more than I do this time, but she's determined to leave what we were on the island we left behind.

Release Blitz - CALL IT FATE by M.E. Montgomery

 

Call it Fate by M.E. Montgomery is now live!

Call it Fate is a small town, second chance romance novel set in author M.E. Montgomery's all new Sterling Mill Series!

Living her life by color-coded lists has gotten Emalee through the past six years. With the support of her small family, she's raised her young son while bringing her ancestral bed-and-breakfast back to its original beauty and into modern times. She's comfortable with her role until an unexpected—but familiar—grumpy, green-eyed guest walks into her inn during a late snowstorm. But the weather outside isn't the storm she needs to be worried about; it's confessing the secret she's been keeping for six years.

Temporarily working in a small town nestled in the Appalachian Mountains was hardly how Zach intended to demonstrate he was the best applicant for a coveted internship. But if it proved his loyalty to his boss, he would do it better than anyone, then hurry back home for bigger and better things. He could have never imagined what was waiting for him in Sterling Mill, Tennessee: a parrot for a mayor? Thieving raccoons? Ridiculous, sure, but none of those compared to finding his old girlfriend and the green-eyed secret she'd kept from him.

Painful revelations. Renewed passion. If only there weren't new circumstances destined to separate them again, they might Call It Fate.

This book is recommended for readers 18+.

Thankful for his mother her is close by as being an FBI agent can pull him away more than he likes.

Release Blitz & Review - HIGH STAKES by Freya Barker

 

High Stakes

(High Mountain Trackers #2)

by Freya Barker

When her sister, Pippa, goes missing, Nella Freling tells her boss she’s taking time off from her job as a research librarian, hops in her sensible van, and heads south of the border to Montana. However, local police don’t seem too concerned about a missing woman living in her motorhome. So Nella will have to look for Pippa by herself, unless she can convince a highly recommended tracker to help her, but sadly the rude and angry cowboy won’t even listen to her at first.
But Nella can be persuasive.

The first time High Mountain Tracker, Fletch Boone, laid eyes on Nella, her ass was stuck in his grocery cart. The next time was at the ranch; she was wearing mud, head to toe. But when he catches sight of her a third time, hanging off a cliff, he can’t turn his back again. What Nella lacks in survival skills she makes up for in sheer determination. Unfortunately, neither of those is enough protection when bullets start flying.
Fletch has no choice but to jump in before the woman gets herself killed.
And that would be a damn shame.

And the one person who could put me out of business.

Bet Me, an all-new steamy enemies-to-lovers standalone romance in the Kanfield Brothers Series from bestselling author Allie Everhart is live now!

Sawyer Kanfield
Smoking hot. Sexy as hell.
And the one person who could put me out of business.

If he thinks he's going to run me out of town for opening a microbrewery that competes with his, he's in for a fight.

And I'm going to win.

The Kanfield name will get him a few customers, but he knows my beer is better than his. That's why he keeps trying so hard to get close to me.

Flirty comments. Dinner invites. A kiss. He can do all that and more, but I'll never give him my secrets.

I admit I'm attracted to him, but I won't let that distract me. The stakes are too high. I put everything I have into this brewery and if it doesn’t succeed I’ll be left with nothing.

In a town this size, only one of us will survive and it's going to be me.

Except I'm starting to really like the jerk...

Is it possible to have both my brewery and Sawyer? Or will I be forced to choose?

Release Blast & Review - SHOW ME FOREVER by Layla Hagen

I moved to Chicago six months ago, determined to finally open my own bakery. My landlady was this sweet woman who treated me like her granddaughter.
Then she sold the house. Now the devil himself is my landlord and neighbor since I live in the guesthouse on his property. Declan Maxwell is moody, unreasonable, and takes himself far too seriously. Unfortunately for me, he’s also damn sexy.


When he shows up on my doorstep in the middle of the night ordering me to turn down the music, I give him hell. Secretly, I’m also checking him out. We go toe to toe like this almost every night.
The man is impossible. But here’s the thing. I need a place to stay while I save for my business and this place is a steal. So, I need to put up with this handsome devil, though from a distance—because he’s far too gorgeous.


Then one day I come home injured from work and he surprises me by taking care of me.
And kissing me.
And just like that, all my best intentions go up in smoke.

Another great addition to the series.

I love and hate when we get these characters that we see here and there throughout the series because it is usually means the end of a series. But as always the author has saved us the best for the last. Natasha Madison fans have come to love the Stone and Horton families like their own. Alex and Dylan are the icing on top of the cake.

Alex and Dylan have grown up together, shared most of their lives together, became best friends that nobody ever questioned. That sudden "ah ha" moment when you realized that there is a reason something is missing and what it is, it takes your breath away. But you are left trying so hard to figure out how to move forward. For some it is simple, for others it could be devastation in the making, or maybe just maybe it is what was always meant to be.

Will Alex and Dylan be brave enough to open their hearts to the world of love as one? Will their families be willing to stand by their side and hold them high? Could this be the epic love story of all times? Swoon worthy Dylan certainly has my vote. The love and emotions just roll of the pages as you read this book. 

Hockey camp is the best and one little star steals the show, just a little bit but.... melt my heart all the same time. Life is about to come full circle for Dylan and he is about the be the best thing that happens this his little buddy. 

A must read story as far as I am concerned.

*** Advanced copy provided in exchange for an honest review. ***

When her nose isn't buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she's in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It's a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn't listen to her...
