Release Blitz HATE TO LOVE YOU by Tijan

SBPRBanner-HTLY-RB.jpg

Hate to Love You, an all-new standalone from New York Times Bestseller Tijan is LIVE!

HATETOLOVEYOUFINALCOVER2

Hate to Love You by Tijan Genre: Contemporary Romance

Publication Date: August 28th

Rule #1: No hot guys.
It might sound ridiculous. I get it. It kind of is, but college was supposed to be my sanctuary. It was my place to start over. The rumors, the whispers, and the jealousy I endured through high school would all be gone.
No one would know me at college.
Rule #2: No drama.
I’d major in pre-law. I’d make a few loyal friends. Everything would be easy breezy. No one was going to use me or hurt me. I wouldn’t let them.
Rule #3: New year. New place. New me.
Right?
Wrong.
And all because of Shay Coleman.
Football captain and quarterback, he was the big guy on campus. The cocky guy in my political science class with a smirk. I hated him on sight . . .
. . . and he was about to break all my rules.

New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby delivers another sizzling novel in her delectable and sexy Fusion series.

Riley Gibson is over the moon at the prospect of having her restaurant, Seduction, on the Best Bites TV network. This could be the big break she’s been waiting for. But the idea of having an in-house show on a regular basis is a whole other matter. Their lives would be turned upside down, and convincing Mia, her best friend and head chef of Seduction, that having cameras in her kitchen every day is a good idea is daunting. Still, Riley knows it’s an opportunity she can’t afford to pass on. And when she meets Trevor Cooper, the show’s executive producer, she’s stunned by their intense chemistry.

Trevor’s sole intention is to persuade Riley to allow Best Bites TV to do a show on her restaurant. But when he walks into Riley’s office, he stops dead in his tracks. The professional, aloof woman on the phone is incredibly beautiful and funny. But can he convince her that he’s interested in Riley for himself? Or is he using the undeniable pull between them to persuade her to agree to his offer?

“There seems to be an explosion in the jackass population,” I reply, and sigh, passing my glass to Kat for a refill. “Where are you meeting them?” he asks, and I bite my lip. “I don’t want to tell you.” “Online,” he says with a nod. “I didn’t say that!” “Didn’t have to. If you met him at the gym or the grocery store, or somewhere else in person, you wouldn’t be embarrassed.” “I’m not embarrassed.” “Yes, you are. Otherwise, you wouldn’t mind telling me.” “Fine.” I sigh and rub my forehead with my fingers. “I met them online.” “Stop that,” he says. “I don’t know where else I’d meet people,” I reply. “I’m at work at least fifty hours a week. I don’t do school or clubs or church, and I rarely go to the grocery store because I always eat here.” “I could stop feeding you,” Mia interjects and I toss her a glare. “I’m just saying, if you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always gotten.” “I don’t understand any of the words you just said.” I squint at him, trying to process. “Switch it up,” he says with a grin. “Try to meet people somewhere else. I mean, you didn’t meet me online, and I’m not an asshole.” “Sure, you’re cute, and you look like you have your shit together, but I suspect that once I got to know you I’d learn that you have mommy issues and fourteen dogs.” “You might,” he says with a thoughtful nod. “I do hide those things well. All I’m saying is, stop using the dating sites and try meeting people in real life.” “Yeah. Easy for you to say.” I pout into my wineglass. “Do I need to send you some money for this counseling session?” “Nah, the first one’s on me,” he says, tossing that crazy-hot smile at me again. “Just don’t combine Star Wars and Star Trek anymore and that’s payment enough for me.” He pulls a few bills out of his wallet and tosses them on the bar, then stands to leave. “Have a good night, and good luck,” he says. “Thanks.” Just as he’s almost out of view, I call out. “Wait! I didn’t ask your name.” “Trevor,” he says, and my stomach immediately does at least four cartwheels. “Trevor Cooper.” “You’re early,” is all I can think to say. My cheeks burning, my fingertips immediately tremble. “You’re not supposed to be here for two more days.” “I like to come early. Get the lay of the land, that sort of thing.” He smiles and waves. “See you in a couple of days.” He walks away, and as soon as I hear the front door close, I turn to my friends and just stare at them in utter horror. “Tell me that didn’t just happen.”

REVIEW POST ~ DRUNK DIAL by Penelope Ward

   

BUY NOW

Amazon | Audio | iBooks | Nook | Kobo | Amazon Paperback

   

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new, sexy standalone novel. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Look up Landon Roderick, that boy from childhood whom I’d never been able to forget—even though he so easily forgot about me—and call him. Then again, anything sounds like a good idea when you’ve had a little too much wine before bed, right? It was supposed to be just a quick, meaningless, prank call. Instead, I went off on him—unloading thirteen years of pent-up emotions. I didn’t think he’d call me back. I certainly could never have anticipated the weeks of sexually tense phone conversations that followed as I got to know the man he’d become. Turned out, Landon had never really forgotten me, either. That special connection we had was still there. I opened up to him, but there were also things about me he didn’t know. And he had his own secrets. Over the countless hours we talked on the phone, I wondered what would happen if we actually saw each other. One night, I did something impulsive again. Only this time, I went to the airport and booked a ticket to California. We were about to find out if one phone call could bring two lost souls together or if my drunk dial really was all just a big mistake. A complete STANDALONE.

  Review: 

I have to be honest, this book was not a huge favorite of mine and trust me I typically love all of Penelope's books. Don’t get me wrong I did enjoy the storyline, but as I was reading I did not get that feeling I usually get. The feeling where I instantly fall in love with it all. I did connect with the characters on some level but at some points while reading it felt a bit flat. By no means just because I did not like it will it mean that you won’t like it either.

Landon and Rana’s story began when they were much younger. Both from different upbringings but that didn’t bother them as they innocently became good friends. Little did Landon know Rana’s crush on him began at this time. Till one day, one decision would tear their friendship apart but not forever.

Many years later, they would reconnect all because of one drunken phone call. Rana thought nothing would come of it but it did the opposite. The one phone call changed their dynamic once again. I loved watching Landon and Rana get to know the adult version of one another. Landon is that sexy bad ass California guy and Rana is a beautiful hardworker trying to get by. I would have never predicted the way Landon acted towards Rana. He was very in like with her and did anything he can to make her laugh. When Landon was having a bad moment he would always ask Rana, “tell me something funny” and she would definitely deliver on it.

Both Landon and Rana have many mistakes and regrets from the past. I loved how he knew something was going on between the two of them so he was very open and honest with her about everything. That made me love him even more. He actually is that big softie on the inside. I loved watching the two of them make each other’s dark worlds brighter. It’s as if they were each other’s missing pieces. Rana on the other hand was not very forthcoming about her past. This made me mad at her at some parts because I was waiting for that shoe to drop.

Landon and Rana’s relationship was pretty much instalove for me, but you can definitely tell where they are heading. Even with miles dividing them, they try to make it work. They do have that instant connection with each other and just automatically pick up where they left off. Their sexual attraction is completely there without a doubt but Landon is waiting to wait until Rana is ready. When secrets do come out, they end up hurting people. But I did not see this one coming.

I loved Rana and her spirit. I love how independent she really is, not wanting to take a handout from anyone and trying to do things on her own. She is such a strong her person. And when you finally hear her story, you can’t help but feel for her. Rana has been trying to turn her life around while living with some of the regrets she has made. I loved watching Landon grow into the man he is. He has been through so much but yet is trying to make a better person of himself. I feel that Landon and Rana were truly meant for one another. 

This review was done by Jenn. I was given an advanced copy for my honest review.

REVIEW:

Another five-star review for Kristen Proby. I have loved every book in the Fusion Series and this is one is no different. We have been getting to know Riley as we have been reading the series. Riley is fun, has a great business sense and is the Marketing Guru for the restaurant she owns with her friends, Seduction. Trevor comes to town to film a show on the restaurant but wasn't expecting to find the one. Trevor is not the typical hero he's sexy but a little geeky too which makes him feel more real! I loved the development of this love story and the obstacles they needed to overcome. I also love the friendship between these girls and how they always have each other backs. I highly recommend this book to all Kristen Proby fans and anyone who loves a good love story.

“What are you thinking?” she asks. My gaze finds hers.
“I have an idea,” I reply.
“Okay.”
“I’m going to take you out on a date. I’m doing to show you how a woman should be treated.”
She tips her head to the side. “What if I say no?”
“You can’t.”
She busts out laughing. “Trust me, I can say no.”
“Okay, I’m hoping you won’t say no. I have a fragile ego.”
“I call bullshit on that as well,” she says with a smile. “What do you have in mind?”
“Let me worry about the details. I’ll pick you up tomorrow around four.”
“I’ll be at the restaurant then.”
I grin and nod. “So will I.”
“Convenient.”
I nod and push my glasses up my nose, already forming a plan.
“What should I wear?” she asks.
Nothing at all.
“Whatever you want. We’ll start out with something casual.”
“Okay.” She smiles. “Has anyone ever told you that the glasses are sexy?”
Many times. But I grin and shake my head no.
“Well, they are.”
“So, you think I’m sexy?”
She giggles. “I didn’t say that. I said the glasses are sexy.”
“I think you’re sexy,” I reply honestly. “And I’m not quite sure what to do about that.”
She looks taken aback for a moment, blinking quickly, but she recovers and tucks her hair behind one ear.
“Well, I guess you’re taking me out on a date tomorrow, so we’ll see what happens.”
“This is a lot of pressure to perform well on said date.”
“You’re the one who suggested it,” she says with a smirk. “Poor sucker.”
She makes me laugh. She’s dry and witty, and I never know what’s going to come out of her mouth. Spending time with her, away from work and on an actual date, is going to be fun.
And I’m going to do my best to keep my hands off her.
It’s a first date, after all.
