Blurb:
A Pick-Your-Passion Interactive Romance
Trella gambled on hitting the big time as a singer/songwriter, vowing she’d be a star in a year. She wound up hungry, homeless, and jobless, with only a charity bus ticket to get her home. With a blizzard rolling in and planes grounded, the last bus out of town is a last chance to reach destinations for a host of strangers almost as desperate as she is.
When the storm leaves everyone stranded in a small town waiting out the blizzard, Trella takes the opportunity to turn her burgeoning fantasies into reality—and you’ll get to choose which path Trella takes to find the happy ending she desperately needs.
Will it be:
Bus line owner/driver, Greyson, who looks like he could double as the lead singer in a heavy metal band, and tempts her to explore the darker side of love.
Wounded warrior Diana, with her voice as sweet as Cajun honey, luring Trella to her with an erotic tale of southern heat on the bayou.
The two sexy gamer guys who enchant her with a VR fantasy world where two handsome knights wait to serve her every desire.
Where will love take you?

Shattered by Helen Hardt Review

SHATTERED STEEL BROTHERS SAGA #7
by Helen Hardt
 5 Stars!!

After reading Shattered by Helen Hardt I really need to consider a few things. Will this cliff hanger leave me on the precipice of a sneeze just waiting to fly? Will I be able to handle the wait to find out the truth about the youngest Steel brother, Ryan and his new love interest, Ruby? Can I make it until December to close my awe struck mouth as wait for Twisted #8 of the Steel Brothers Saga?
I DON'T REALLY KNOW!!!

Shattered was crisp, sexy as hell, and full of surprising connections between the characters. Ruby and Ryan test each other's strength both in and out of the bedroom. They have shared secrets and ones that are still kept at bay. Shattered will draw you in and keep you locked in the saga until I hope we are Twisted in the truth of what really happened all those years ago in the Steel family.

Muscle Memory Cover & Pre-Order by Stylo Fantome


Muscle Memory
by Stylo Fantome

An ARC was gifted to me for an honest review.

Stylo Fantome has created a unique story that will stretch the emotional tenacity of any reader. Muscle Memory follows the lives of two lovers, Jayson and Delaney, who live on the edge, partying, squatting, and bouncing between jobs. Jay and Del are blissfully happy. Forever connected to one another, until something happens to change both of their lives.

I couldn't put this book down!! It was under my skin every minute of the day and I didn't want to do real life until I finished. Jay and Del will draw you in, make you part of their world, and at times you'll want to jump up and down and cheer. Other moments you'll be reaching for your tissues, torn apart by all that is raw and real. Muscle Memory hits all the high points for me!

 

PUCKER UP by Sara Hubbard HAPPY RELEASE DAY!!


 

Pucker Up

Sara Hubbard


Release Date: 25th August 2017

Genre: Contemporary Romance/New Adult




I received this ARC for an honest review.

This was my second book by Sara Hubbard and I am pleased to say I look forward to reading more of her work.  Pucker Up follows Charlotte, or Charlie, an ambitious young co-ed who is after the story of her life. She develops a plan to get the story straight from the star hockey player herself.  But her plan takes an unexpected turn when the object of her attention, Ozzie, takes matters into his own hands. Charlie has no choice but to hang on and hope she isn’t iced out of everything she thought she ever wanted.
Pucker Up was a sweet, compelling romance with characters that most of us who experienced the college life can identify with and appreciate. The years of young love, awkward dorm room rendezvous, and that search for oneself through the haze of classes.
Three stars!


Synopsis

His name was Ozzie.

He was the college hockey star every girl wanted a piece of and who every guy wanted to be.

But I didn’t know he existed. Not until the editor of the school paper agreed to give me a position in exchange for writing an article about him and his private life. I want the position. More than anything. It’s been part of my plan for as long as I can remember. But associating with jocks isn’t something I’m comfortable with given how unpopular and awkward I was in high school. I can’t let that stand in my way, though. I’m too stubborn for that.

I devise a plan to meet him and it works better than I thought it would. I don’t tell him what I’m up to, and by the time I start to realize what all the fuss is about, it’s too late. My lie threatens to expose his darkest secrets and also break my heart.

My Review of Audrey Carlan's FATE #4 Trinity Books Aug. 22


 

Fate #4 Trinity Novel

By Audrey Carlan


“Often it’s the deepest pain which empowers you to grow into your highest self.”
                                                                                    ~Karen Salmansohn
I received this ARC for an honest review.
I anxiously waited, like a kid in line in an ice cream parlor for Fate, the final book in the Trinity Books by the ever-inspiring and beautiful Audrey Carlan. I was quaking in my shoes, mouth watering, and heart beating out of my chest because I knew Kathleen’s story had to be told for closure.  Kat had been through years of anguish, rehabilitation, and self-denial. Her soul sisters and their families felt her pain and suffered along with her.  Kat had become a shell of someone else only allowing a few people in. How could anyone love her when she was physically scared and emotionally fractured? Carson, her one and only love, tried many times until that final night when Kat pushed too far and he walked out the door.  In Fate Kat finds that three years after the fire and being trapped in her workroom basement she may be ready to search for herself again and rise from the ashes much like a phoenix.

Fate was like that first dip in the sea on a hot summer day. It takes your breath away in an instant, but at the same time, wraps around you, swirling, cooling you off, tingling, and tickling your skin.  You feel for Kat and Carson and all the pain they have experienced. Fate digs dip into how family is defined and that forgiveness, acceptance, and love truly are virtues of the heart.

Synopsis

Fate (Trinity Series #5)

Not many can say they were burned by fate. I’m the exception.

Scalded figuratively, emotionally, and physically… I have the scars running down my arm, ribs, and side to prove it.

The doctors have done what they can to heal me by smoothing the abraded skin using other parts of my body. But they can only do so much. Sometimes, what can’t be seen can’t be healed.

The fire that night took more than a pound of flesh. It obliterated my talent, beauty, and most importantly, seared the connection I had with the man I loved. Sure, it was me who pushed him away, but I had my reasons. I did what any woman would do in my situation. I gave up everything so that one day he’d find happiness and peace.

Now I’ve healed a bit on the outside, and on the inside, but I still crave the one I let go. To this day he looks at me with fire in his eyes, a heat so bright in his being he glows with it. I fear the light, the flames that could consume me whole. The problem now is, he’s not mine anymore. I just may have waited too long to fight for him, for us, for a future together.

There’s only one thing I can do. Let fate decide.

JUST A LITTLE TEASER-STYLO FANTOME


MUSCLE MEMORY

STYLO FANTOME


Synopis

Her lips, the way she feels, how she moves against me. Her voice when she laughs, her eyes when she cries. Her soul connected to mine, for better or for worse, for all eternity.

I don't remember.

A blank face. Unrecognizable. The darkness and impenetrable fog, day after day after day. Who am I? And for that matter, who is she?

I can't remember.

Two sides to the same coin – one wants to remember, and the other wants to stay forgotten. Which side will win? Can he trust his heart to bring him back to her? Or will she stay lost in the fog forever?

I might never remember.

Crown of Betrayal Release Blitz by Graceley Knox August 8th

Crown of Betrayal (A Wicked Kingdoms Novel Book 2) 

by Graceley Knox 

Release Date: 8th August

Genre: Paranormal/Fantasy Romance
 









Synopsis


Now that the threat to Ever is imprisoned and gone for good, she can focus on what really matters: getting rid of the goblins living in her house as “protection” and getting back to work capturing rogue Fae for the Magical Enforcement and Containment Agency. Too bad fate doesn’t agree with her plans.

Ever’s mother is still missing, and Ever and her crew must find an ancient race long believed dead. As questions pile up and danger creeps closer, Ever can no longer deny the pull Dare has over her heart. And her body. As they forge a new bond, betrayal strikes, and it’s closer to home than either of them could have imagined.

Trouble stirs. Alliances fall. The only thing that binds them together is the trust they’ve put in each other and the emotions Ever refuses to name. Everything starts to crumble, and those Ever protects are no longer free from danger. Will she keep those she holds dear safe? Or will she be left to pick up the pieces?
