Release Blitz & Review - SHATTERED SECRETS by Christina Sol

Shattered Secrets by Christina Sol is now live!

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 - INDESCRIBABLE LOVE by Samantha Chase

Indescribable Love by Samantha Chase is now live!

A close proximity, rockstar, secret romance from NYT Bestselling author, Samantha Chase

He's the pop superstar dubbed the friendliest celeb alive.

She's the jaded publicist forced to represent him.

Working together should be impossible.

But the connection they find in each other is...completely indescribable.

Whenever his childhood became too much, Simon Bennett could always find comfort and escape in music. Like any kid, he'd thought about becoming a big star, but he'd never imagined the level of success he's found. When documentary producers approach him for some behind the scenes footage for his fans, he isn't prepared for the painful memories they unearth that he'd rather keep quiet. But when you're known as one of the sweetest guys in the business, no one takes you seriously when you try to push back.

Juliette Bellucci has a reputation for being a strong and confident publicist. Unfortunately, when you keep working with celebrity trainwrecks who make the wrong kind of headlines, that reputation doesn't mean a whole lot. And with her latest fiasco still in the press, she's this close to losing her career and everything she's worked for. Enter Simon Bennett-the quintessential good guy and her chance at redemption. After all, how can working with the nicest guy in the world go wrong?

Nothing about them makes sense, and yet the closer they become, the more they realize they belong together. Keeping their relationship a secret was supposed to keep them out of trouble, but when Simon's past threatens to destroy his present, everyone is quick to blame Juliette and her bad track record. When the glare of the spotlight disappears, will they realize the indescribable love they share is the foundation to the future they both want?

When the rug is pulled from under Detective Sloane Eckhart, she leaves the Billings PD and returns to Libby, Montana.

Eight years ago she left with her pride and the promise of a future, but her heart was broken. On her return, there is no pride left, no prospects to speak of, but at least her heart is safely secured in the back seat.

Still, a bit of groveling, a kind offer of help, and a brand-new job with the sheriff’s office quickly gets her back on her feet.

High Meadow will always be home to Dan Blakely. Working with horses, being part of the HMT search and rescue team, and now building his own home right next door checks all his boxes. Only one thing is missing, but that dream walked out the door a long time ago.

Still, his life is good, steady…and perhaps a little boring.

That quickly changes when the rescue of a young, teenage girl, places the new sheriff’s detective squarely in his path. He’s not bored now, doing his best to keep her safe, even as their past holds them back while they fight for a future.

After my first boyfriend left me with ruined credit and without a job, I have to take a position as a dog walker and move back in with family. I try to make the best of it, but ridiculously wealthy Green Valley is the last place I want to be.

I'm focusing on working hard and getting my life back in order, and I don't need Dan Mills offering me an easy way out. Marry him, he says. He'll pay me once he has access to his trust fund. It will simply be an arrangement of convenience, and it doesn't matter if I like him or not.

To me, the plan sounds completely bonkers, but I'm tempted. I shouldn't be, but I am. After all, Dan's not a bad guy. In fact, he's kind of great. And, if we both know the marriage is practical, how much trouble could it be?

Release Blitz & Review - ONE STRING by Aleatha Romig

ONE STRING

Release Date: July 4

Second-chance, enemies-to-lovers, fake-date, little-sister’s-best-friend, forbidden, stand-alone contemporary romance.

Ricky Dunn is the equivalent to a splinter under my fingernail.

Romantic?

Right.

He’s the older brother of my best friend, and no matter how hard either of us try, we can’t seem to avoid each other. The problem started on the night my best friend and I graduated from high school. The party was joyous, a celebration.

That night, I willingly gave Ricky a part of me—more than the kiss we told others about.

Our deal was simple.

No strings.

Ricky kept his side of the bargain.

Years have passed.

Being from the same small town and crossing paths, I haven’t noticed how handsome he’s become or the way he’s filled out.

If you ask me, he hasn’t noticed me either.

Until he calls.

I’m working for a finance company, one he’s now interviewing for.

“Marilyn, will you be my date for the dinner with the partners? It’s only for one date and no strings.”

The problem is my heart hasn’t kept my side of our bargain.

I want at least one string.

Do I agree to his proposal, or do I turn him down flat?

Have you been Aleatha’d?

Check out Aleatha’s 2024 Lighter One—ONE STRING—second-chance, enemies-to-lovers, fake-date, little-sister’s-best-friend, forbidden, stand-alone contemporary romance.

Release Blitz & Review - THE ONE I STOOD BESIDE by Piper Rayne

The One I Stood Beside by Piper Rayne is now live!

It’s the classic story—best friends since childhood agree to a fake marriage, thinking they can pretend to love each other without their relationship changing.

Jude would do anything for me. He’s stood by my side since we were six, and I’ve done the same for him.

When my father dies, leaving our family farm drowning in debt and on the brink of being auctioned, I’m not surprised Jude steps in to help. I just never dreamed he’d fall to bended knee and devise a plan for us to fool everyone into thinking there’s more than a lifelong friendship between us.

Soon, I’m moving into his house, we’re planning a wedding on his family’s ranch, and we discover a new side to our relationship. I keep reminding myself it’s not real—it’s only to secure a loan to save the farm.

I’ve secretly loved Jude all my life, and now that I know how good we are together, I’m not sure we can return to being just friends.

4 Stars

What a wonderful best friends to forever lovers, marriage of convenience, grumpy/sunshine couple that will steal your hearts. Emotions are high but we still get that traditional witty banter that this author duo bring to the pages. 

All those years ago Sadie was that person that Jude needed to lean on, just being their for him in whatever capacity was needed. It lead them to a special bond and a friendship that was unlike anything. But somewhere the feelings started to cross the lines and they were too afraid to tell one another. It's Jude's turn to be the leaning post and to help where he can.

Grab your copy and enjoy the adventure on the farm as these two figure out the next path in their story.

I can't wait for the next book.

Release Blitz - HOLD ME UNTIL MORNING by A.L. Jackson

Hold Me Until Morning by A.L. Jackson is now live!

I should have known I’d be playing with fire when I found the sexy as hell woman moving in next door...

It was pouring rain, so I figured the neighborly thing to do would be to lend a hand.

I nearly dropped to my knees when I realized who she was.

Hailey Wagner.

It’s been six years since I’ve seen her, and she’s always been the one person on earth who is off limits.

My past sins I’ve kept like an ugly secret made sure of that.

Too bad this single mom with the soulful eyes still makes my pulse speed the way it did back then, and I soon find our chemistry is just as strong.

When I find her ex threatening her, I insist on staying with Hailey and her little girl until I’m sure they’re safe.

I thought I could handle being under her roof. Only the tension between us strains, and with one forbidden kiss, all restraint is lost. We collide in a lightning bolt of greed, the two of us locked behind her door night after night.

Falling so hard I know there will be no coming back from it.

But being with Hailey exposes the past I’ve been trying to hide, and I’ll do anything to protect her from it. Because if I don’t? We’re both going to pay the consequences…
