Cover Reveal Bastard Bartender by Lauren Runow

Jun 012021

Bastard Bartender ((Falling for the Stars #5) by Lauren Runow & Jeannine Colette

Meeting a man in Vegas is easy. Finding one to settle down with? Not so much.

When I relocated to Sin City for my job, I decided this was my fresh start to get away from old habits, including my penchant for dating the wrong type of guy. Namely, bad boys.

So, I came up with an experiment to make me expand my dating horizons. I can only talk to men whose name begins with a certain letter of the alphabet. After I meet them, we hang out, and we might date for a short period of time, but if he’s not the one I move on to the next letter. It’s easy, and it leads me to meeting all kinds of new men until one night at the bar, a very sexy bartender discovers my little plan.

The cocky bastard of a bartender is Nicolás Antonio Santiago, and he’s as gorgeous as his name.

Enthusiastic, charming, and clever, Nic takes to my love life with interest and helps me with my pursuits. We become fast friends, and he whisks me on his wild adventures. His impulsive ways become addictive, and while I’ve been trying to stay away from bad boys, I find myself falling for one.

As our relationship grows intense, I have to push my desires aside and stay the course. Nic doesn’t do love or relationships. Even if the sexual tension between us is palpable, I have an experiment to finish, and the next letter in my list is far from N.

They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. My fear is when I leave, my heart will stay here too.

Cover Reveal A Kiss for a Kiss by Helena Hunting

Jun 012021

A Kiss for a Kiss (All In #4) by Helena Hunting

I’m Jake Masterson, single dad, and the General Manager of Seattle’s NHL team. I walked away from a career as a player so I could raise my daughter. For the last twenty-plus years, Queenie has been my main priority, but now she’s getting married.

And there’s a small complication.

A beautiful, sexy complication named Hanna.

She’s my son-in-law’s older sister. Or at least that’s how they were raised. The truth is a little more scandalous than that.

I’ve been drawn to her from the moment I laid eyes on her. And I spent months trying to keep a lid on that attraction.

Until we finally give in.

It starts with one searing kiss, but quickly ends with us between the sheets—and in the shower, and the hot tub, you get the picture—and turns into months of sneaking around.

Here’s the problem: we live on opposite ends of the country. It can’t be anything but casual. And as I’ve already said…it’s complicated.

But when Hanna finds out she’s pregnant…suddenly things get real serious.

Cover Reveal Dead Man’s Isle by Caroline Peckham

Jun 012021

Dead Man’s Isle (The Harlequin Crew Book 2) by Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti

I’m the girl who no one wanted. Or the one who got away. Depending on who you ask.

Either way, betrayal and heartache have been my friends for far too long and it’s time for me to start over.

I gave the Harlequin boys a chance to change. A chance to prove that history wasn’t just set to repeat itself. But they failed with spectacular colours.

Maybe it’s time for me to stop running. After all, Sunset Cove has been living under the Harlequins’ thumb for far too long. It’s time to set our demons free and let them burn this place to the ground. Who knows if I’ll survive the fallout?
But I guess I’ll soon find out if dead girls can die twice.

This is an enemies to lovers contemporary series where the girl will end up with multiple love interests and all of the characters are in their late twenties. Trigger warning: this series features gangs, violence, dark romance and jealous/possessive themes.

Until Serena by Chiquita Dennie

Serena is determined to build a good life for herself and her twin boys following a devastating breakup.

Khalil has two focuses: his career at the investment firm and enjoying single life. That would be a lot easier if his meddling parents would stop trying to fix him up with high-society locals. He just might get his wish when he stumbles upon an accident and meets the woman who can make him change his outlook and possibly get him to settle down.

Find out what happens when a feisty woman meets her match in the anti-prince charming! Will it lead to a happily ever after?

Until Serena is part of Aurora Rose Reynolds’s Happily Ever Alpha World. If you loved Until December, then you will want to read Until Serena.

Excerpt Wild Love by Melissa Schroeder

Jun 012021

Wild Love (Juniper Springs Book 1) by Melissa Schroeder

The Camos and Cupcakes World is getting another amazing series!

I’m not the kind of girl who expects happily ever after. In fact, I prefer my partners don’t get too clingy. Don’t get me wrong. I like a good night of loving, but beyond that, I’m happy to see them leave in the morning, without my phone number.

Then I met him.

Quinn is a big bear of a man, with massive hands and amazing…staying power. Like all night long and the next morning kind of staying power. So when he asks me to spend the next day with him, I do. The only reason I give him my number is because he makes me laugh. And, okay, so I might have met up with him once or twice.

That doesn’t mean I need him. Because I am Everly Freaking Spencer, and I don’t need anyone (other than my bestie), and definitely not a man.

Only…

He shows up by chance at my store, which totally freaks me out. Finding out he’s my favorite author doesn’t help either.

And the surprise that’s dropped in our laps later that day?

Major. Freak. Out.

But, like I said, I don’t need anyone.

Right?

If I keep repeating that, I might just believe it.

Author warning: Get ready for a trip into the hippiest little town in Texas. There’s gossipy little old ladies (LOLs), an app that every teenager hates, trips to Denver and Cali, a woman who is convinced true love doesn’t exist, and man who aims to prove her wrong by doing things to her that should embarrass the author. And she was. (Not really). Along the way readers get to spend time with the gorgeous Hawthorne brothers and gay ducks. SERIOUSLY. GAY. DUCKS. Just get the book already because you know you want to know about them. Also, there’s a happily ever after fit for a woman with commitment issues and man who just doesn’t know when to give up.

Excerpt Wild Love by Melissa Schroeder

The door to my hotel room slams open as we stumble over the threshold. Neither of us pay attention to it, or anything else. His hands are in my hair, his mouth on mine, and if I don’t get him inside of me right this minute, I might explode.
Since we stepped onto the elevator, our hands have been all over each other. I just can’t get enough of him. His hands slip down my body, grabbing my ass as he lifts me off the floor. Oh, god, he’s amazing. As he slips his tongue along mine, he gyrates his hips, and there is no doubt how aroused he is. Of course, I’ve been feeling that from the moment we stepped onto the dance floor. He’s long and thick, and I can’t wait to have that monster inside of me.
He tosses the pharmacy bag on the nightstand as he carries me over to the bed—an amazing feat because I am not a small woman—and sits down, settling me on his lap. I swivel my hips and he leans his head back with a groan. I take advantage of our position and attack his throat. He smells of expensive whiskey and sexy, sweaty man.
“You’re going to make me come in my pants, woman.”
Power surges through me. My head spins as if I drank five bottles of whiskey in the last ten minutes. I giggle—actually giggle—but he frowns at me. Before I know what he’s about, he stands up, taking me with him, then tumbles me back onto the mattress.
He has quick hands; I’ll give him that. My shoes and socks are off my body before I can blink. Next, he’s clawing at my jeans and I smack his hands away so I can take over the job. Once I have them unbuttoned and unzipped, he tugs them down my body along with my panties as I tear off my shirt and bra. Soon, I’m lying there completely naked. His eyes darken as his gaze roams down my body.
“Jesus,” he says, reverence in his voice. I know I’m in good shape, but I have always thought I was too angular. Apparently, Quinn does not.
“I don’t think we need a third tonight, and definitely not part of the holy trinity.”

Book Review Captive Beauty by Cassia Briar

May 272021

Captive Beauty (Harem of Redemption Book 1) by Cassia Briar

To save my brother, I sacrifice myself to three monsters.

I’ve spent the past decade on the run with my younger brother after our mother was murdered. He’s finally turned eighteen and is under protection of the supernatural academy.

But when a dare goes wrong, I’m afraid I’ve lost him forever. My only choice is to give my life in exchange for his. Now I’m theirs. I belong to three beastly men.

Cade is a terrifying, scar-faced fae.

The wolf, Lucas, guards me like I’m his fated mate.

Zane, the seductive vampire, wants more than my blood.

They want to break me. These cursed men want to own my body, heart, and soul.

I need to escape before I lose myself to their dark temptations. Though outside these walls the hunters await.

Authors Note: Ends on a cliffhanger. This is a steamy, whychoose/reverse harem, crime syndicate, dark paranormal romance. You’ll find some Beauty and the Beast themes, fated mates, and enemies-to-lovers. It contains potentially triggering situations and is recommended for mature readers.

Kassie’s Review:

This was such a fun read since it was a Beauty and the Beast retelling with a more supernatural, steamy adult twist. You can see the definite draws from Beauty and the Beast so it’s interesting to see how those tie into this story. It still works as it’s own story cause like I mentioned is a very steamy adult version with more supernatural elements. Love getting the different supernatural representation with our mobster men, a vampire, werewolf, and fae. Then of course you got the witches as well, included our main girl Emma.

The book ends on a big cliffhanger that leaves you craving the next book. I can’t wait to see where we pick up and get to dive into more of everyone’s backgrounds. The men all have their own dark past and Emma has secrets uncovered in Captive Beauty but we still need answers. I’m excited to get more of this story and not to mention more of the spice

Cover Reveal Endurance by Dakota Willink

May 262021

Endurance by Dakota Willink (The Driven World)

Dakota Willink’s Endurance is a sexy contemporary romance written in K. Bromberg’s Driven Worlds project.

Sloan
As the son of a Formula One racer, the need for speed was in my blood. But in the blink of an eye, my life in the fast lane came to a screeching halt.
With my racing career gone, I had no choice but to endure a new way of life.
And that’s when I met her—Kalliope Benton Riley.
She wasn’t my usual type at all. She was a total hippie, packaged to perfection with flowy dresses and rainbow-colored hair wraps. She had outlandish ideas about the stars, the moon, and predetermined destiny.
Ridiculous.
Yet, I couldn’t turn away from her mesmerizing green eyes. She was more than a pit stop. She was my addiction—my checkered flag. Before long, I had to prepare for an entirely new kind of race—the race for Kallie’s heart.

Kallie
Six years ago, a psychic gypsy gave me a warning. She said I was cursed when it came to romance and destined for a life of disappointment and heartache.
She was right.
So when the opportunity to move across the country presented itself, I was more than ready for a change—but that change was not supposed to include someone like Sloan Atwood.
He was arrogant and cocky. Avoiding him should have been easy, but every time I looked at him, the attraction grew stronger.
I couldn’t help but wonder if maybe—just maybe—Sloan could be the one to break the curse.
Then I saw a California sunset. The gypsy had warned me about those too.
As the sun dropped lower in the sky, my heart knew I couldn’t box this lap. There would be no winners in this race. Total shut down was the only way to prevent permanent damage.

This full-length emotionally charged novel merges the worlds of K. Bromberg’s Driven and Dakota Willink’s Cadence duet. Endurance can be read as a stand-alone with a guaranteed happily-ever-after!

Cover Reveal Endgame by Susan Pierce

May 262021

Endgame by Susan Pierce (The Driven World)

International Bestselling Author Susan Pierce brings a sexy and suspenseful enemies-to-lovers romance to K. Bromberg’s Driven World.

I’m his Endgame. But winning me over is just the beginning…

What happens when your one-night stand ends up being the man you’re asked to write an exposé about to save your floundering career? You woman up and write it, that’s what. Afterall, I haven’t seen Jake Mitchell, Nascar’s racing prince and America’s notorious playboy, since the morning he left without saying goodbye.

I owe him nothing.

So, why I think it’s a stellar idea to give him a heads up that his rich and powerful family is about to be taken down by the hands of…well, me, I don’t have a clue, though it feels a lot like closure.

Except…he doesn’t remember me. And invites me down to his parents’ southern estate to get to know the people I’m exposing. As his fake girlfriend.

Ouch.

He knows my curious little journalistic heart won’t be able to refuse an inside look. And that I can barely manage to keep my wits about me when he’s around, so I do the only sensible thing someone in my position would do:

I take him up on his offer.

But when the walls filled with secrets and dark, forgotten things start closing in, along with Jake and his all-consuming, maddening sexual voodoo, I realize maybe this trip was more than just an inside look at the Mitchell family and their home–it was either about winning me over…or keeping me silent, so their racing empire doesn’t come crumbling to the ground.
Now I have to figure out how to untangle myself from their web, and somehow escape with my heart, before I find myself dead and buried…

Along with the rest of the secrets from their past.

Fans of K. Bromberg’s Then You Happened and The Driven Series will devour this standalone enemies-to-lovers, fake relationship romance.

Dear Counselor,

It was supposed to be simple favor for my very important boss, Frank Kaminsky of the Salt Lake Slammers professional basketball team—go to his good friend Tex Jameson’s luxury ranch and provide personal medical care for his recently injured teenage son.

I thought it’d be a working vacation of sorts—a chance for my city-girl self to experience something I would never otherwise do—but everything is upside down, and absolutely nothing is as I thought it would be.

For one, this patient is not a teenage boy.
He’s a real-life, blue-eyed, tough-as-nails, thirtysomething cowboy who is so darn strong he looks like he could lift a car just for the heck of it.

He’s also stubborn, rude, and we don’t get along…at all.

Add in the heart-melting vision of him as a single father to the cutest little girl on the planet, and I’ve found myself in a whole different dimension of trouble.

Lust. Feelings. A whole lot of enemies-to-lovers-style complication.

Please help me. My name is Dr. Leah Levee, I am a victim of false advertising, and if I’m not careful, this Grumpy Cowboy might just be the death of me.

Author Note: This sexy and hilarious novel is a complete standalone romantic comedy.

Until they both reach their breaking point and their fiery relationship explodes.

May 182021

Finding Beauty in the Darkness (Fighting Series Book 6) by Nikki Ash

AUTHOR’S NOTE: If you purchased Bordello, you already own this book

Aria
Giovanni is my savior…
But he wants me for himself.
I’ve grown used to men wanting me and taking what’s not theirs to take.
But he’s different.
He wants to keep me, make me part of his dark world,
and I would gladly follow him into the darkness.
But his life is trapped in a cage, and his family holds the keys.
If forced to choose, we could lose it all.
The danger doesn’t scare me half as much as the thought of living without him.

Giovanni
I didn’t choose this life. It chose me.
Born into a powerful mob family, darkness and danger are all I’ve ever known.
But when I stumble upon Aria being held captive in the basement of a senator’s house,
everything I’ve embraced and accepted about my life gets thrown out the window.
I’m drawn to her strength, to her lightness, to her beauty in my dark world.
But she deserves better than trading one cage for another.
Now I’m torn between protecting Aria… And keeping her for myself.

Finding Beauty in the Darkness is about Giovanni, who appears in Fighting for your Love. This book was previously published as Bordello and can be read as a complete stand-alone.
