Teaser Share: Kissing Jenna by Kristen Proby




From New York Times Bestselling Author Kristen Proby comes the newest installment in her beloved Big Sky Series…
Jenna Hull owns and manages vacation rentals in her hometown of Cunningham Falls, Montana. She’s just completed the construction of her most exhausting project, the one she’s put her heart and soul into. The inviting, opulent Snow Wolf Cottages are the first ski in/ski out tree houses in the world.
Her biggest dream is about to come true, and she can’t let anything distract her.
Christian Wolfe is Hollywood’s it actor. If the magazines are to be believed, he’s the sexiest man on earth. He’s preparing for the biggest movie role of his life, and his agent has booked him in a hot new ski lodge in Montana, tucked away from crazy fans. He can’t wait for the break.
But what Christian isn’t prepared for is Jenna. With a face that could easily co-star with him in a movie and her ambition to put her stamp on Cunningham Falls, he can’t stay away. But even more intriguing than her beauty is the fact that she’s not at all impressed with his celebrity status, only turned on by the man behind the fame.

The love they’ve found is perfect—but time is running out before real life intrudes. Can they survive with both their dreams—and hearts—intact? Goodreads: https://bit.ly/2Id1v87

BLOG TOUR - TELL ME LIES by Carola Lovering

Lucy Albright is far from her Long Island upbringing when she arrives on the campus of her small California college, and happy to be hundreds of miles from her mother, whom she’s never forgiven for an act of betrayal in her early teen years. Quickly grasping at her fresh start, Lucy embraces college life and all it has to offer—new friends, wild parties, stimulating classes. And then she meets Stephen DeMarco. Charming. Attractive. Complicated. Devastating.

Confident and cocksure, Stephen sees something in Lucy that no one else has, and she’s quickly seduced by this vision of herself, and the sense of possibility that his attention brings her. Meanwhile, Stephen is determined to forget an incident buried in his past that, if exposed, could ruin him, and his single-minded drive for success extends to winning, and keeping, Lucy’s heart.

Lucy knows there’s something about Stephen that isn’t to be trusted. Stephen knows Lucy can’t tear herself away. And their addicting entanglement will have consequences they never could have imagined.

 Alternating between Lucy’s and Stephen’s voices, TELL ME LIES follows their connection through college and post-college life in New York City. With the psychological insight and biting wit of Luckiest Girl Alive, and the yearning ambitions and desires of Sweetbitter, this keenly intelligent and staggeringly resonant novel chronicles the exhilaration and dilemmas of young adulthood, and the difficulty of letting go—even when you know you should.

REVIEW by Heather:

This is the first book of Carola Lovering, that I have read. So let me share my thoughts.  Tell Me Lies starts bounces from the present to the past throughout the entire book. It starts off in the present where Lucy is heading to New Jersey to be a bridesmaid in one of her closest friends wedding. A friend she met while in college and stayed in touch after they both graduated.  Lucy is excited to see her friend get married, but she isn't excited about seeing a certain person from her past....  insert STEPHEN.

Lucy and Stephen have a past. A not so pleasant past might I add. Lucy settles for second best, or so I thought. However, in Lucy's mind, Stephen loved her. At least he told her that. Stephen is one of those guys that you want to kick in the balls throughout the book. He is a narcissist. He loves himself, and is so self absorbed. But yet, he seems to attract all the ladies. He plays women like a fiddle, Lucy being one of his favorite instruments.

Throughout the book, Lucy falls into Stephen's trap. No matter how many times he hurts her, she continues to go back for more. This being one of the biggest problems in the book for me. I hate seeing Lucy fall victim to Stephen time and time again. While Lucy was in college, she changed. She wasn't the same girl that entered her freshman year. Grant it everyone changes while we grow, while we evolve into adulthood. But Lucy didn't change for the better. She grew distant from her friends. She began to lie more frequently. Why?  All because she didn't want her friends to share their opinions with her. To tell her that Stephen was only going to continue to hurt her. Instead, she continued to allow Stephen to her more lies.

I wanted Lucy to change. I wanted Lucy to be strong. I didn't care for the ending of the story. I felt like Lucy only realized what a manipulative monster Stephen was, was in the last few pages of the novel. She finally had a revelation at the very end.

Overall, I would give this novel a 3 star rating. Not that the story or editing was done poorly, I was just frustrated reading the relationship between Lucy and Stephen. Or the relationship between Lucy and her mother, who she called CJ. I didn't connect with the characters or the story.

Release Day - TATTERED by Devney Perry

   
 

Thea Landry has always known her place in modern-day society. It’s somewhere just above the trash can her mother dumped her in as a newborn but below the class where much comes easy. With her tattered shoes and bargain-bin clothes, her life has never been full of glamour. So when a rich and charismatic man takes interest, she doesn’t fool herself into thinking their encounter is anything more than a one-night stand. Months later, she’s kicking herself for not getting his phone number. Or his last name. She’s given up hope of seeing him ever again. Until one day, years later, Logan Kendrick waltzes into her life once more and turns everything she’s built upside down. This time around, she won’t make the same mistake. She’s going to fight to keep him in her life—not for herself. But for their daughter.

        

AVAILABLE NOW

Amazon | iBooks | B&N | Kobo

      


Thea and I had agreed on just one night. One incredible night. The next morning, we’d walked away from each other with no strings attached. She’d gone back to her life. I’d gone back to my hectic work and social schedule, just glad that I’d had the chance to meet her. What I hadn’t expected was for Thea to pop into my thoughts so often after that night. I’d think of her smile whenever I was at a hotel bar. I’d think of her laugh when I was at a boring fundraiser. I’d think of her whenever I saw a woman with long, sleek dark hair. After months of her on my mind, I’d finally given in. I’d gone back to the bar to see her one more time. Except she’d been gone. With my child. I’d waited too long.

Hot Asset by Lauren Layne







Description:


Review by Michele:

Ian is a hot shot Wall Street investor accused of insider trading. Lara is from the SEC sent to investigate him. Ian is a playboy not looking to settle down. Lara is looking for her shot to go to the FBI. Neither are expecting or looking for love but sometimes it’s right in front of you!

This is the first book I have read of Lauren’s and I have to say I’m a fan. The writing was good the characters are intriguing and fun. There was just enough angst to not making it overwhelming. I would definitely recommend this book to others and I am looking forward to more from these 21 Wall Street guys!

Blog Tour: The Girl and Her Ren by Pepper Winters

TheGirl&HerRen-SBPRBANNER.jpg


The Girl and Her Ren by Pepper Winters 
The Ribbon Duet Book 2 
Publication Date: June 5th, 2018 
Genre: Coming of Age Romance

ebook (1)

“What do you do when you write down all your secrets? No…that’s not enough. What do you do when you write down all your secrets and the one person who should never read them does?
I’ll tell you what you do.
You hope.”

REN

Ren didn’t know the meaning of love until he took Della for his own.
To begin with he hated her, but as the months bled into years, he learned the opposite of hate, dedicating his life to giving her everything.
Every sacrifice, every gift, he gave wholeheartedly.
But then love turned to lust and ruined everything.

DELLA

I was stupid to write my secrets down, but I’d been stupid before so it was nothing new.
I couldn’t blame him, hate him, fix him.
I tried to move on without him.
But no matter what I did, I couldn’t seem to delete the secrets I’d written.
Until something happened.
Until he came back and read my stupid secrets.
And nothing was the same after that.

Review by Heather :

The Girl  Her Ren is a book that I never wanted to end. In fact, I took my time reading it, so I could prolong it!  This was the first series of Pepper Winters I read. From the beginning, the author takes you on a journey of two souls that are meant to be together. They are each other's worlds. Ren raised Della since she was one years old. Throughout the years, they have both grown. Della idolized Ren, he was her hero. As we know, in The Boy & His Ribbon, the ending sent Ren on his own journey separate from Della. Della's actions pushed him to leave. 

Ren always wanted the best for Della.  But when he left, it only hurt her more. They were each missing apart of themselves. Della held Ren's heart, and Ren held hers. This is a series that EVERYONE should read. The love the two of them had for each other was one that we wish we would find in a lifetime. 

Della and Ren did not have an easy life.  Always looking over their shoulders, keeping themselves invisible from the world, and portraying themselves as brother and sister. But what happens when their feelings become too much for them to handle. When their relationship is not so simple anymore. Della pushes the envelope everyday with Ren. But Ren always keeps in mind, they have an image to uphold. That's what pushes Ren away to keep Della safe. 

Like I said, the two of them never had it easy. They were fighters, survivors. This story takes you on a ride of a lifetime. It has its ups.... and it definitely has its lows. This series is one that will stay with me forever.  They experienced something that hit very close to home for me. So I understood their battle. I cried for them. I wanted to hug both of them and tell them to fight the fight. To never give up. 

Hands down, this is a five star read. Della and Ren will forever have a place in my heart. 

Excerpt:

The fallen papers crunched beneath my boot as I shifted my weight, leaning into her, seeking an answer. “Why didn’t you tell me?” She flinched, her eyes closing beneath an avalanche of pain. This hurt. Everything hurt. “Della…please.” My calloused thumbs caressed her silky-soft skin, catching on her young perfection with my older imperfection. Ten years separated us. Ten years was an eternity when she was a babe and I was a boy, but now…it no longer held such power. I refused to let it because I didn’t know what I’d do if I couldn’t touch her the way I was touching her now. She laughed quietly, full of torture and tragedy. “I did tell you. In a roundabout way.” “You didn’t.” “But I did.” She dared meet my eyes. “I never understood how I could touch you, hug you, kiss you, and you never knew. I didn’t know how I could hide my jealousy when you were with Cassie or later with your one-night stands. I lay awake at night analysing every sentence I said to you, amazed that you never heard what I’d been shouting for longer than I could remember.”

VanDyken-DirtyExes-24778-CV-FT-V5 (1).jpg


They’re serving up some red-hot revenge. A sizzling series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel van Dyken.

Blaire has never quite gotten over Jessie Beckett, the ex–NFL star whose kisses were hot enough to ignite the entire Eastern Seaboard. When he chose work over her, Blaire was left brokenhearted. Why else would she have married a skeezy two-timer, just to divorce him less than a year later?
Now Blaire is getting even by becoming one half of Dirty Exes, a PI firm fully committed to humiliating cheating jerks. If only the new jerk she’s been hired to uncover wasn’t Jessie Beckett himself.

Exposing Jessie isn’t going to be easy, especially when she still daydreams about his sexy smile. Further complicating matters is Colin, Jessie’s best friend. He’s gorgeous, a little bit cunning, and willing to help Blaire get the inside scoop on Jessie—for a price.
Now caught between two men—one totally right and the other totally wrong—Blaire will need to decide just how much she’s willing to risk…and whom she’s willing to risk it for.

REVIEW by Kelli:

Revenge with a side of whiskey.

Blaire had a few love-struck weeks years ago with the ex-NFL star Jesse Beckett and has compared everyone to him ever since. She had all the feels but apparently he only had a few because when he was traded he walked away with a hug, smile and a "I'll miss you." Blaire propelled from that "in the publication eye" relationship into one where she could finally just be herself, be normal. Jason was it, hers, meant to be...or so she thought. What he was really meant to be was the best two-timing snake in the history of forever. Blaire was heartbroken with the realization that the common factor in each of these relationships was her. Something about her just wasn't good enough. Then there's the anger. She never got over her husband cheating on her but that lovely situation thrust her into a new career and a brand new best friend. Blaire and Isla both know firsthand how it feels to be on the losing side of a marriage. What better way to let that anger out than to help other people catch their spouses in the dirty lies they tell and the other beds they are falling in? Dirty Exes was born and they were serving up revenge on a gold platter with a side of humiliation for dessert. Life is moving along and Blaire is ok, maybe not happy but somewhat satisfied with her life's direction at least she was until sh finds out her latest client just so happens to be Jessie Beckett. The one guy she still holds a flame for and the one fire he has yet to be able to extinguish. There's no easy way to go about this case. And then Colin enters the picture. Hot, cocky and charming Colin, who is also Jessie's best friend and seems to be completely taken with Blaire. He's willing to help her expose Jessie... for a price, and a steep one at that. Blaire is now caught in a weird past/present love triangle that leaves her head spinning and her heart pounding with the choices she has to make. Is the past where she wants to be or is her future brighter with her present?

Rachel has once again knocked us off our feet with a story that grabs us from the very beginning, shakes us up and then spits us out with a giant grin slapped on our faces. There's just enough humor for a few chuckles and amusement at the situations that Blaire gets herself stuck in. From the very beginning, you think you know which way the story will go but Rachel surprises us with a few twists that leaves us second-guessing ourselves. I adore the connection to the Matchmaker's stories because I absolutely loved those and this left me longing for the next story in the series. Another 5+ story Rachel. Please don't ever stop!!



Excerpt:

It ended there. Right. Forget about his mouth. Or the way I sighed when he touched my shoulder. The way my body quivered when his skin pressed against mine in the car. “Stop!” I gritted my teeth and searched the kitchen. Cheaters often hid things in places that their spouse wouldn’t expect, like pantries and junk drawers, places that seemed obvious but weren’t. I’d once found a second cell phone in a cereal box. Cheaters were like drug addicts. They knew the perfect place to hide the drugs. I shuddered. Dirty. Toilets. Not the best day I’d ever had, but marginally better than the sewer. I spent the next thirty minutes with plastic gloves searching every crevice of that kitchen, patting down the inside of drawers, digging through trash. Nothing. The guy was either a saint . . Or we had a serious Dexter situation going on, and he knew exactly how to dispose of incriminating evidence. Sexy male laughter jolted me from my search. I freaked, ran into the pantry, and shut the door just as Jessie’s face came into view. Sweat trickled down my back. Shit, shit, shit! Oh, this was bad, so bad. What man didn’twant to eat after coming home from the gym? “Nice, man, she keeps the book on the bar?” Colin’s mocking voice at least made me feel like I wasn’t the only one who thought it was strange. “Fams always so classy.” “Yeah,” Jessie agreed. “I think maybe it’s her way of reminding me how happy we were that one year.” He hesitated. “You know, the one where we actually did normal things like stay home and make dinner, and watch movies instead of going out all the time. That went to hell fast.” Colin sighed. “She writes a book about our best year, and then turns into this greedy person I don’t recognize and dream about murdering in her sleep.”
  • “Hey,” Colin warned. “I get it, I do, but she’s still my—”
“Sorry, man.” “It’s fine, like I said, I get it.” I plastered my ear to the door to listen harder. What did Colin mean? Why was he defending her? Why was Jessie saying sorry? I made a mental note to purchase the book and torture myself by reading it cover to cover. “You contemplate murdering her while she sleeps,” Colin said in a weird tone, “and yet she’s still living here in this house with you? Tell me how that makes sense? You say she’s not the same person, but she never really was the person you thought she was. When are you going to get that?” “She was different then, man. She was.” Jessie came to her defense so quickly I almost fell backward. He sounded like—he still had feelings for her. I turned my attention back to the door as footsteps neared the pantry. Oh hell. Not good. I needed to get out. Fast. I grabbed my cell and texted Colin. And seconds later heard a ping. “Another one of your sex buddies?” Jessie teased. Colin paused and then, “Oh yeah, but this one’s been really hard to tame. You know the type, a bit schizo but so hot you don’t care that she asks to twist your nipples while she licks your nose.” “Seriously?” Jessie choked. “She likes noses. And snake tattoos, loves them.” “Lucky for you.” “I think it reminds her of the size of my dick, you know?” I made a gagging noise, shifted on my feet, then texted again. Me: Seriously! Trapped! And your dick can’t be the size of that python on your arm because that would mean you actually impale women on a daily basis. Colin: Just call me Dracula. I frowned. Colin: Get it? The impaler. Me: Look at that, basement dweller can joke! He’s got jokes! Meanwhile I’m going to starve to death in this pantry. Colin: You mean around all that food? “Wow, this girl must have skills if you’re that focused on your texts . . .” Jessie trailed off. “She’s . . . unique,” Colin finally said. My eyes narrowed. Was that a compliment? Did it matter? Why did I care? And why the hell did Jessie have ten different kinds of cereal—and all the boxes were full. And alphabetized? Starting with Apple Jacks? Really? Not that I’d resorted to more snooping. Okay, so I’d resorted to more snooping. But the fact that they were full was emotionally distressing. A full cereal box at my house lasts about one hot minute before I get a craving for Cheerios that even wine can’t cure. “Hey”—Colin cleared his throat—“I need a favor.” “Anything,” Jessie said quickly. “I need a nice shirt for a date tonight, something . . . classy.” Jessie laughed. “What? You can’t wear your own clothes?” “You know I like your style better.” I rolled my eyes, has he seen that man’s closet? His white shirts are all ironed to within an inch of their lives. “Plus I want to impress this girl and I don’t have time to go grab a new shirt, we’re going on a late lunch date and I’m sweaty as hell, so please? Let me borrow a shirt, I’ll go home and shower, pair it with some nice jeans, and be inside her in no time.” I glared at the door. Like I could actually see Colin’s smug expression. Why was my heart thumping? Why was I breathing like I was having trouble sucking in air? He could date whomever he wanted. I shifted on my feet as my face heated. He was an attractive, successful man. I crossed my arms. Then uncrossed them nervously. “Yeah, yeah,” Jessie finally said. “I’ll be right back, try not to burn down the kitchen or set the book on fire.” “Shit, you read my mind,” Colin joked. The sound of footsteps faded as Jessie walked toward the bedroom. And then pantry door was jerked open. I blinked up at him. “Thank you.” “People . . . they pay you,” he said, leaning his large frame against the door while his muscles bulged beneath his sweat-soaked shirt, “for this?” My eyes narrowed. “Yes! And I’m good at it.” His smirk was wicked as he glanced behind me and then locked eyes. “Obviously.” I shoved his chest. “I miscalculated the time, that’s all.” I tried squeezing past him, but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back into the pantry and closed the door. “What the hell are you doing?” I hissed as he pressed me against the wall. “He’s going to find me!” “A favor for a favor, spy girl.” Colin’s grin turned menacing. “I got Jessie out of the house, gave you my car, and saved your sorry ass. I get a favor.” “I’m not sucking your nose and licking your tattoo, you psycho,” I said, repeating what he’d said earlier. “Don’t knock it, you may love it.” He winked, and then stood his ground. “One favor.” I sighed and gritted my teeth. “Fine.” “A date,” he said triumphantly. “I want a date.” “A date,” I repeated in a slightly panicked voice. “Like to dinner?” “No, I was thinking the drive-in, we could make out, eat popcorn, I’d feel you up a bit—yeah, dinner.” I smirked. “If I go to dinner with you . . . you’ll get me out of this godforsaken pantry with the full boxes of cereal?” “Noticed that, did you?’ “He’s clearly not human.” “I steal his Cocoa Puffs every chance I get.” I nodded seriously. “I think my respect for you grew just now.” “Ah, she likes cereal.” “She’d also like to not get caught!” “Go.” He shoved me toward the pantry door. “Run out the back and try not to trip and ruin your escape.” “I don’t trip.” Of course, at that moment, I tripped over my own feet and almost face-planted into his lips. He sighed, his expression worried and a bit stunned as Jessie’s voice carried to the kitchen. “Black okay?” “Go.” Colin shoved me again. “Oh, and you’re picking me up. It seems I’m down a car.” He winked. “I’ll text you.”

“Yes!” My arms shot in the air. I punched the air a couple of times before clapping and shouting, “Way to go, Charlie! Nice save!” I was so damn proud. I hoped she could hear me yelling. Her success felt better than any I’d ever had personally, and I’d known her for just a couple days. Parental pride was incredible. And I wasn’t alone in my feelings. When I stopped cheering for my daughter, I looked to my side to see that Thea had gotten off the blanket and was cheering too. Her smile was beaming, brighter than any I’d seen before. “Couldn’t stay seated?” I nudged her elbow with mine. “Quiet, gorgeous.” Gorgeous. I’d been given nicknames in the past by women. My girlfriend in high school had called me Lo-Lo. Emmeline used to call me darling. Alice had annoyed the fuck out of me by whispering stud in my ear. I hadn’t really liked any of them, not even Emmeline’s. But Thea’s gorgeous was hot as hell. Mostly because she said it with that smile. She could call me an asshole or a douchebag with that smile and I wouldn’t care.

Review by Heather:

I am a huge fan of Katy Evans, therefore when I see she is releasing a book, my finger gets itchy with the need to one click.  In Mogul we are introduced to Sara and Ian.  Immediately I liked their connection, however I thought it was a little strange that Sarah met Ian in his hotel room, which is not something she would usually do.  But with that being said, we all can surmise what occurs between Ian and Sara.

Ian has some baggage so to speak. Currently he is technically tied to another woman and emotionally unavailable. But that doesn't mean the man doesn't have needs. But something about Sara makes him want a little more. Makes him want to see her again. Both Sara and Ian can't seem to get each other off their minds. 

So when Ian ends up back in New York, he seeks her out, yet he is disappointed when his plans fall through. Sometimes the stars seem to align at the right place at the right time. So when Ian and Sara stumble upon each other again, sparks fly.  

Sara is afraid to go all in with a man that isn't technically 100% available. The problem is, her heart didn't get that memo.  When both of them agree to keep things casual, did they really think that would be possible?

Ian and Sara were funny together. I enjoyed seeing their relationship evolve. While reading Mogul, you get glimpses of Sara's roommate, Bryn, which if you read Tycoon, you know who she is.  If you haven't read Tycoon, Katy gives you a little bit of her story with the man she needs....  wants...., to intrigue you to read their story.

I only had one problem with Mogul. I felt as though some sentences were rather choppy. I caught myself reading some sentences a few times to have them make sense. Some lines/sentences seemed a little out of place as if they didn't fit into the train of thought of the character. But.....  this is just my opinion, and we all know the saying. 'Opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has them.'

Overall, I would rate Mogul 4 stars. The story was good, the character dynamics were good, and I really liked Ian and Sara together. 


Excerpt:

My eyes lock on a third figure sitting with them. As I near, the man glances my way before quickly shifting his gaze. I continue to stare at him as I approach, and it doesn’t take long for his gaze to return to me. His large figure rises to full height as he stands to greet me, and I feel a bolt of electricity hit me in the chest as familiar eyes stare back at me. He’s tall. Dark-haired. Gorgeous. With deep, thick-lashed eyes you want to sink into. And lips to suck on like they’re all that exists between you and heaven. I stop walking, stop breathing, because . . . he is here. A moment passes and Bryn seems to notice my shock. But shock doesn’t come close to it. Because never in my whole life has my heart leapt so far and fast. It feels as if it’s ripping out of my chest. I can barely force my legs to move for fear of hearing my knees knock together. I struggle for air, but it feels like someone cut off my windpipe connecting my nose and lungs. He wears a white dress shirt and black slacks, and his face is chiseled and brooding. The real shock lies in the intensity brewing in his dark eyes as they stay locked on mine. My heart speeds up as I hold his gaze. The city bustles around us. Making eye contact is not something I do often, living in a city of millions, but I can’t take my eyes off him. The memory of having him inside me returns with a vengeance. Bryn begins to introduce us. “Um. Ian, this is—” “Sara. We’ve met,” Hot and Dirty Workaholic interrupts with a stiff smile. Our eyes meet, and for a moment it feels like nothing else exists. His name is Ian. Fucking Ian, with his serious, handsome face and shiny, black hair. He’s as lit as I remember. Straight out of a Suits episode, and I am dying.

VanDyken-DirtyExes-24778-CV-FT-V5 (1).jpg

They’re serving up some red-hot revenge. A sizzling series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel van Dyken.

Blaire has never quite gotten over Jessie Beckett, the ex–NFL star whose kisses were hot enough to ignite the entire Eastern Seaboard. When he chose work over her, Blaire was left brokenhearted. Why else would she have married a skeezy two-timer, just to divorce him less than a year later?
Now Blaire is getting even by becoming one half of Dirty Exes, a PI firm fully committed to humiliating cheating jerks. If only the new jerk she’s been hired to uncover wasn’t Jessie Beckett himself.

Exposing Jessie isn’t going to be easy, especially when she still daydreams about his sexy smile. Further complicating matters is Colin, Jessie’s best friend. He’s gorgeous, a little bit cunning, and willing to help Blaire get the inside scoop on Jessie—for a price.
Now caught between two men—one totally right and the other totally wrong—Blaire will need to decide just how much she’s willing to risk…and whom she’s willing to risk it for.
