Cover Reveal: Swinging Strike - Kimberly Readnour


Dating the hot athlete? Yeah, Been there, Done That…
Braxton Smith.
Cessna University’s baseball captain.
Naturally talented.
Sinfully gorgeous.
And exudes enough arrogance to fill a stadium.


That same cocky attitude is what landed him in my anonymous gossip column. 
Believe me, I, Cara Gonzalez, don’t want anything to do with him.
But he’s everywhere.
In my class.
In my dorm.
In my mind.
I left this type of drama back home. 
Transferring to Cessna University is my chance for a redo.
And regardless of his rock-hard abs and panty-dropping smile,
Arguing with an athlete isn’t one of my goals.
My instincts betray me, though.
This attraction feels different.
Stronger.
I have no choice but to stand my ground. 
Because this time, I’m afraid I’ll not only be hurt. 
I’ll end up gutted.

Book One in the Cessna U Wildcats series, Swinging Strike is an enemy to lovers, stand-alone romance. If you like sexy, hot baseball players, add Braxton Smith to your TBR list.

She was my best friend. The person I told my deepest secrets to. But when my world came crashing down, it was all because of her family.


From that moment, I realized I’d been wrong to trust her. Her big caring eyes and sweet face were nothing but an act as she’d watched on while I tried to keep my head above water.


That was our past.


Now, I’ve largely put Camila behind me and moved on with my life. Though it doesn’t explain why she’s always there: taunting me, tempting me, showing me the life I could have been living.


I should have been laughing when her own world turned upside down. Karma always wins out in the end. But suddenly we’re forced together once again and I have no choice but to remember the girl I’ve tried so hard to forget.

Emilia—
All I’ve ever wanted was to marry for love.
But girls like me don’t have that luxury.
We are used as pawns in a game we can’t control.
The game? It’s called Mafia.
I was foolish enough to try to change the rules… and I lost.
Luca—
She was promised to me years ago.
And he dared to take her from me.
Dared to touch what was mine.
I put an end to that.
I hope he’s enjoying the view from his dirt room.
Emilia—
My beloved’s killer placed a ruby ring on my finger and called me his queen.
But that red gem symbolizes something different for me.
It represents the blood shed by those I love most.
Hell was empty the day we wed.
Because the devil was standing before me and said “I do.”
Luca—
I saw her as a possession.
A shiny toy I didn’t want other boys to play with.
But she’s so much more.
Beautiful and brave and strong and broken all at once.
She tastes like everything I’ve ever wanted.
Emilia—
Hidden and patient.
I wait for the perfect time to seek my revenge.
But slowly, I feel him possessing me.
His heart is full of darkness… and I still want every inch of him.
Hard as I try, I can’t escape loving this beautiful monster.
Luca—
I’m waiting patiently because I already know that she’s mine.
Mine in a way that no one will ever understand.
Even if she hasn’t yet realized it.
For love, I’d do anything.
For her, I’d do everything.

New Release: Dirty Girls - Lily White



Title: Dirty Girls
Author: Lily White
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: January 29, 2020


Blurb:
They were the boys any good girl knew to avoid.

Rich and privileged.
Gorgeous and cruel.
The poster boys for rebellion…their tongues so sharp they cut to the bone.

We worshipped them despite their dangerous games.
We laughed even as we cried.

It was all fun and games until the first dirty girl died.

Now, as the bodies pile up, I believe I can endure their wicked ways. Only time will tell if I’ll escape.

Because when wealthy boys are accustomed to getting everything they want, not even the lives of those around them are too high an asking price.

Warning: This book is a dark romance. If you are looking for a sweet and tender story, you won’t find it here.

Praise for the novel:
Lily White at it again, she likes to whip you with suspense, choke you with mystery, and keep you guessing until very end!” ~Amazon review

“... a fascinating, disturbing, intriguing and thought provoking read.” ~Amazon Review


 EXCERPT #1:


Dark stubble peppered his strong jaw, his hair a messy frame around his face from sleeping, but it was his eyes that drew me in the most because, for the first time, I saw Soren in the raw.
He wasn’t hidden behind his usual bad boy smirk, wasn’t protected by the cruel words he spoke. He simply was, and it occurred to me that I didn’t know the person staring down at me.
I wasn’t sure that anybody in Winter Ridge knew him.
Yeah, he had Quinton, Nolan and Grady but guys are guys, they don’t talk about the deep shit.
Would anybody know if Soren was secretly hurting?
I couldn’t begin to guess what was going through Soren’s mind.
If there was ever an opportunity to know this man before his mask of arrogance was pulled back in place, it was now. I would draw him in and finally get him to open his heart up to spill whatever secrets were trapped inside his head.
Reaching up, I intended to touch my palm to his cheek, to trace the light of the setting sun where it flowed against the skin of his strong jaw.
His hand moved from my stomach before I could stop him, his fingers grasping my wrist in a punishing hold.

Review: Frenemies - Emma Hart

Frenemies Frenemies by Emma Hart
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Frenemies by Emma Hart is a wonderfully written, fun book full of great characters and a catchy storyline. Imogen lives with her grandma (who’s a hoot!). She runs her families Arts and Craft store whilst giving lessons to children throughout the week. One day, Imogen gets a new neighbour and it is no other that Mason, her not boyfriend but hook up buddy from college who left without saying goodbye. Hence the drama of him moving in next door! Also, in tow is Mason’s cute little daughter, his ex who is going to get remarried and drama of epic proportion. The story focuses on fate and how Imogen and Mason are meant to be, if only Imogen could put on her big girl pants and deal with her past.

This is a laugh out loud rom com, which Emma Hart does really well. Imogen’s grandmother is a hoot as is the rest of the granny reading book club! There are so many wonderful characters throughout this book, it is hard to put your finger on just one that you like. Mason and Imogen are great together, they have a fun-loving attitude towards each other and some of the practical jokes that they do to each other are hilarious! Saying that, there is a serious side in the book and that comes from Imogen and her moving on from Mason in the past. There certainly were a few mistakes and mis-communications on both parts!

Mason is such a good character; he is a good dad and I think he rather enjoys the quirkiness which is Imogen and her grandmother. Mason might have been a booty call in college but he has certainly matured into a good man, father and guy. I just think Imogen likes giving him a hard time to change to much in the beginning.

The story is minimal drama (except from grandma) and mainly focuses on having to grow up and forget about the past, being a different type of adult and being in a fated relationship when both are ready.

If you like your books with a lot of wit, sass, minimal drama, entertaining and totally laugh out loud moments, then Frenemies and Emma Hart are the ones for you! A really enjoyable read!

💜💜💜FRENEMIES IS LIVE💜💜💜


Blurb:
There are some things you just have to deal with.
Like your hot as hell college booty call moving in next door with his adorable daughter.

The only time we
ve ever gotten along is under the sheets. Old habits die hard because two minutes on my front porch is how long it takes us to bicker.

Not that a little fact like that bothers my healthy, eighty-year-old grandmother and roommate who
s determined to see me married before she bites the dust.

Unfortunately for me, she
s got her eye set on Cameron Black.

She
s barking up the wrong tree. Hes not The One, no matter how much I swoon when I see him with his daughter. I have no intentions of rekindling anything with himuntil a rubber spider in my mailbox starts off the mother of all neighborhood prank wars, just like the ones we had in college, and throws me right into his path.

One that leads right to his bedroom…

Excerpt:
Before I knew what I was doing, I’d thrown the mushrooms into the pan and was stepping right up to him, so close that I could feel the heat from his body as he glared down at me. “You might want to wash your hands. They’re looking a little pink, King Caiden.”
He stepped even closer, his body pressing into mine, and I suddenly found it difficult to breathe. “King Caiden, huh? If I’m the king, then get on your knees and worship me.”
A shudder ran through me at his low, harsh rasp. I met his dark gaze, seeing the barely restrained fury clear in his eyes, and I steeled myself, welcoming the anger that surged within me, smothering the lust. “Fuck you,” I spat through clenched teeth. “If you’re insinuating that I can suck your dick, I’d rather choke to death on my own vomit than have that anywhere near my mouth.”



Blog Tour: Bittersweet Legacy - R.G. Angel



Title: Bittersweet Legacy
Series: Patrician Book One
Author: R.G. Angel
Release: January 24, 2020
Genre: Bully Romance



Blurb:
You don’t realize when your life is about to change forever, how a simple text can tear your world apart.
Esme Danvers doesn't have an easy life but at least she is loved by her widower father... or at least that's who she thought he was for 17 years. Enter William Forbes, top 10 of America's 1% and her actual father - or rather the father of Esmeralda Forbes, the girl she was born to be, the heir to a legacy she'd never known or wanted.
Esme’s thrown into a world of glamour and money, smoke and mirrors, hate, pain and unspoken rancor. A world with a distant, calculating and uncaring father; Archibald, a brother who hates her; and Caleb, his best friend who is as wicked and mean as he is beautiful and charismatic.
Caleb, this broken boy whom she can’t seem to hate enough to keep him out of her bloodstream, a boy who doesn’t seem to hate her enough to stay away.
But as the past reveals itself in ways Esme didn’t expect, she finds herself in the middle of a swirl of lies, betrayals, conspiracy and even murder, with barely anyone to watch her back.
The only thing she really wants is to get back to being Esme Danvers, to find a way out before it’s too late.
