REVIEW: Spark by S L Scott







One break is all The Crow Brothers need and we’re about to get it.

Johnny Outlaw, rock legend and lead singer of The Resistance, is here to watch us play. But he’s not the only familiar face in the crowd—killer little body, heart-shaped face, and drop-dead gorgeous.

Hannah Nichols sitting at the bar makes it hard to concentrate, sparks already reigniting. The beauty was never a groupie and tonight she’s not here to catch our show. She came to drop a bomb. “You have a son.”

She underestimated me. I’ll prove to my son, and her, that I can be the dad he needs.

What is it about musicians? Why are they so damn sexy?

My heart was Jet Crow’s the moment he opened his sexy mouth and sang that first song. One stolen night with that man would never be enough, but I’m not here to fall into his bed. Again. I’m here to fight for custody of a son he’s never known.

There’s just one problem. Those sparks between us have become flames. If we’re not careful we’re both going to get burned.



Caroline's Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


What a fab start to a new series!

"He's a musical god I once prayed to by tasting his skin as he came on mine."

Hannah Nichols lets loose one fine night with the singer of a band. They formed a connection that night but she wasn't in a good place to start a relationship.

"The girl with the haunted eyes? I want to erase the sadness. I want to replace her melancholy with other emotions."

Jet Crow formed a deep connection with Hannah during their one night together. He couldn't stop thinking about her. When she comes back into his life six months later, she brings shocking news with her.

They stand on opposites sides of a custody battle, but their burgeoning feelings blur the line. 

"She was buried in every riff of my guitar, the notes that made the melody, the cheering of the crowd."

I loved this story! Jet is such a wonderful guy - a great father figure to his brothers and a great father to the son he never knew he had. He had a great sense of responsibility and I loved how well he stepped up to the plate to do whatever he needed to do to make sure his son was happy and knew that he was wanted. 

Hannah's fears, insecurities, and family loyalties prevent her moving forward with what her heart tells her. I loved how much Jet wanted to show her that they were a possibility, and how well he proved that he was willing to put Alfie and Hannah first. 

I loved the Crow family dynamics. Little Alfie stole my heart - he was so mature for his age and such a fabulous little kid! I'm so looking forward to reading about Rivers and Tulsa. 

As always, this author delivers a fab story with feeling and beauty, which is heartwarming and sexy.

Liam Walsh is just a roommate. 

Maybe if Charlie St. James repeats it enough, she’ll stop lusting after him. 
Not that it matters how she feels anyway, because Liam will always see her as one of the boys. 
Hell, he’s the one who gave her the nickname Charlie as a joke. 
Well, the joke’s on her. 
Now that she is confined to less than 1,000 square feet with him, she can’t stop thinking about how it would feel to get just a little bit closer. 

Charlie St. James is off limits. 

She’s been Liam Walsh’s best friend since grade school. 
He thought it wouldn’t be a big deal to let her crash with him when she needed a place to stay, but he was dead wrong. 
Knowing only a thin wall separates them when they sleep, that she’s naked in the shower while he lays in bed fantasizing about her, is unbearable. 
When their cozy two bedroom goes from friend zone to war zone, they’ll either burn up the sheets or go down in flames.

COVER REVEAL: P.S. I Hate You by Winter Renshaw






Coming March 28th



Dear Isaiah,

Eight months ago, you were just a soldier about to be deployed and I was just a waitress, sneaking you free pancakes and hoping you wouldn’t notice that my gaze was lingering a little too long.

But you did notice.

We spent a “week of Saturdays” together before you left, and we said goodbye on day eight, exchanging addresses at the last minute.

I saved every letter you ever sent, your words quickly becoming my religion.

But you went radio silent on me months ago, and then you had the audacity to walk into my diner yesterday and act like you’d never seen me in your life.

To think … I almost loved you and your beautifully complicated soul.

Almost.

Whatever your reason is—I hope it’s a good one.

Maritza the Waitress

PS – I hate you, and this time … I mean it.














Wall Street Journal and #1 Amazon bestselling author Winter Renshaw is a bona fide daydream believer. She lives somewhere in the middle of the USA and can rarely be seen without her trusty Mead notebook and ultra portable laptop.

NEW RELEASE & REVIEW: Playmaker by L P Dover





Title: Playmaker
A Breakaway Novel
Author: L.P. Dover
Genre: Sports Romance
Publisher: Loveswept/Random House
Release Date: February 27, 2018



Blurb

He knows every play in the book. But she’s calling the shots.

I’m Maddox Ledger, all-star winger and the reason the Charlotte Strikers killed it in the playoffs. Yeah, the tabloids like to call me arrogant. A real hothead. All I see is a guy who plays to win. Wreaking havoc on the ice, breaking a few hearts—that’s all just part of the game. And I’m sure as hell not sitting on the bench.

When my teammate asks me to be in his wedding party, I can’t refuse. Lucky for me, the bridesmaid I’m paired with is the definition of eye candy, but she’s so much more than that. Lacey Easton is totally irresistible and she makes me want to be a better man. A glimpse of bare shoulder takes me back to a steamy, two-week Vegas tryst I can’t forget. One I’m eager to repeat.

Suddenly our one-night stand is turning into the sequel. Still, Lacey’s keeping secrets. She doesn’t trust me. And maybe I deserve it. But I know more than she thinks I do and there’s no chance I’m letting her get away—or letting another guy take what is mine. This time, I’m playing for keeps. 




Caroline's Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐


Great sexy sports romance. 

"You and I both know this isn't over. I'll wear you down eventually."

Maddox Ledger and Lacey Easton have a secret history. Lacey disappeared out of his life and thinks he doesn't remember her. Maddox has never forgotten her and has always known where to find her.

When they are thrown together for a wedding, Maddox is done waiting for her. He lost her once and he's ready to claim her back. He's not willing to let her go again without a fight.

This was a fun, sexy read. Maddox was previously such an unpopular bad boy, but he's changed and is determined to prove he's worth of Lacey's trust. I loved how hard he fought for Lacey and how hard he worked to show everyone he'd changed. He's really a caring guy underneath that tough, alpha facade. 

I thought Lacey was silly to have disappeared out of his life the way she did - I mean, what was she thinking?! LOL. However, I was glad that she was willing to give him a chance and trust him with her heart. I enjoyed the dynamics between them and their friends and family. I haven't read the previous two books but will be backtracking to them when I get the chance.

Excerpt

“And we’ll be right back,” Maddox announced, grabbing my wrist.
He pulled me away, and I went willingly with him. I glanced back at Braeden and he started toward us, but I shook my head, stopping him midstep. Maddox turned the corner, his eyes burning like fire.
“I thought I could get through this, but I can’t. I’m so fucking tired of the lies. I know who you are, Lacey.”
My heart stopped. I pretended to be stupid. “Of course, you know who I am. Stop being silly. We need to get back to the wedding.”
He stepped closer, caging me against the wall, with his lips so close to mine. “No,” he growled low. “I mean, I know who you are . . . Paige.” Keeping his eyes on mine, he glided a hand down my bare back and reached inside my dress, circling his fingers around my strawberry birthmark. My whole body broke out in chills. “Did you seriously think I wouldn’t recognize you?”
“Took you long enough,” I snapped.
“Oh, I knew who you were right after you left me in Vegas.” My mouth dropped. “Yeah, that’s right, sunshine. A well-paid private investigator can find out anything.”

NEW RELEASE & REVIEW: Fighting Irish by Katy Regnery


Fighting Irish by Katy Regnery







FIGHTING IRISH, The Summerhaven Trio #1

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Blueberry Lane series comes a new trio of romances featuring the Haven triplets!


Rory Haven and Brittany Manion knew one another as children...
...but it's been a long time since their childhood summers at Summerhaven.

The Havens weren't the children who attended exclusive Summerhaven Camp in Center Sandwich, New Hampshire. They were the children of the owners, expected to “pull their weight” and absolutely forbidden to fraternize with the paying guests. But that didn't keep Rory from having a quiet, unrequited crush on gorgeous, popular, insanely-rich, Brittany Manion for three tortuous summers.

When all-grown-up, recently-engaged Brittany books the off-season summer camp for her upcoming spring wedding, she immediately recognizes Rory as the scorching-hot boy who wouldn’t give her the time of day. Meanwhile Rory, who senses that Brittany’s nuptials are less about Mr. Right and more about Mr. Right Now, launches the fight of his life to win the heart of the girl he’s always wanted.

Caroline's Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


This was such a lovely, sweet, heartwarming read. 

"A fire lit in his chest, sparks alighting inside of him, heating his blood with barely restrained want."

Rory Haven is a good guy. He's rule-follower, but gregarious and ambitious. He's wicked clannish (love that phrase!) - so devoted to his family that he's willing to give up his dreams, for a while, to help the family business. 

"She felt herself falling toward him, into him, for him."

Brittany Manion is a good girl. She's from a super wealthy but fractured family. An only child, all she wants is to love and be loved, and have a family of her own to cherish. 

"Some fights are quiet, but the battle's still being waged."

They had a wild crush on each other as teenagers but the other never knew. Rory kept his distance due to the non-fraternisation rule, and Brittany was too shy to approach him, thinking that he wasn't interested. Years later, when they meet again, Brittany is off-limits, but the attraction between them sparks to life, and Rory is torn between fighting for her or losing her completely.

This story was gorgeous! Rory and Brittany are such great people. They're both hard-working, kind, and thoughtful. This story had great flow and told with feeling. Both characters were falling, falling, falling, but both worried about the next step. I loved their chemistry, their rapport, and their courage in taking the next step. 

This was a great start to the series, and the snippet from the next book was really exciting! Can't wait to get my hands on it.

Read an excerpt from CITY UNDER SIEGE

I was practically kneeling in front of the screen as I tried to understand what I was seeing. Men were shouting at one another, though their words were indecipherable.

The person filming darted out from behind a shipping container to take more shots. Everything was happening so fast, the camera moving wildly with the person it was attached to. Finally, I realised it was a body cam by the way it was flailing and jerking all over the place. I had no idea what shipyard they were in, but it made sense that the assault would be there rather than a boat. They would have wanted to take the terrorists after the handover happened, just to be sure.

A soldier came into shot across the way, crouched behind another container, and I guessed he was one of ours. Covered from head to toe, it was impossible to know who it was, but I held my breath anyway. The camera at least became steady as the gunfire slowly ebbed, though focused now on the last of the targets. In the periphery of the screen, the kneeling soldier leant further forward to take a shot when he was yanked sharply backwards in a move that literally saved his life. As the last shot rang out, sounding a death knell to the terrorists who’d been responsible for taking so many innocent civilian lives, the rest of the team seemed to realise what I already knew. The rescuer, the guardian angel who’d ripped his teammate away from the path of certain death, had exposed himself to make the ultimate sacrifice, saving his friend’s life at the expense of his own. Soldiers darted in front of the camera again, and a few more indistinguishable voices called out before the silence. The excruciating, insufferable, tormenting silence, broken only by the clear voice that cut through the darkness like a scythe, ripping a hole through my heart as it did.

“Man down.”

   
Claire's Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This past weekend I was luck enought to go to RARE18 in London and meet the wonder RJ Prescott and pick up a signed copy of this amazing book! She was hands down one of the sweetest and most loveliest authors that I have had the pleassure in meeting.

Wow, how do I put this review into words! They always say that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but I have to admit that I did. This cover caught my eye and I loved it so much that I read the blurb and knew I had to get my hands on this, and I am glad to say that I wasn't disappointed.

This is the story of Sarah, whose Father and Brother are both killed in a bad accident, and so she has to leave her happy little life behind to go and take over the family's shipping business, with the help of her Aunt. However, things aren't as straightforward as Sarah things they are and she finds herself in the middle of a terrifying situation. That's how she meets Lieutenant Tom Harper, and sparks fly!

This book is the first RJ Prescott book I have read and I am actually quite ashamed to say that and will definitely be jumping back to read her previous work. This book was so well written that I could imagine being in the story and seeing it all play out in front of my eyes. The story itself, despite the love story angle, is quite scary, to think that things like this could and more possibly do happen is terrifying. I haven't ever read a book quite like this one before.

I cannot recommend this book enough! It needs to be devoured.

The Vasiliev name is a powerful one. We rule with an iron fist and we do it well. Being the eldest, I am Father's best hope at keeping us at the top of the food chain. Everything I do has purpose. Everything I do has reason. Until her. I play my games thinking several moves ahead. Power. Power. Power. Until her. The next move requires I marry and soon. This will strengthen us and secure our position. But I am not to marry her. I am to wed the eldest Volkov. Problem is, her younger sister is the one who awakens my dead heart. It is her I want in my bed and by my side forever. Her. Her. Her. In this game, though, it's not about what I want. But maybe it can be about what she wants. I am Vlad. Vile. Vicious. Villainous. Vasiliev. And I will win eventually.


Claire's Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐


Ok so these two authors together are well known for creating the most addictive, darkest, taboo reads and I knew I had to jump into the book with everything I have and I was not disappointed.

This is about Vlad Vasiliev, who is engaged to Diane Volkov, both primed into marrying each other to strengthen both families. Diane is the heir to the Volkov Spirits business. However, Vlad has eyes for her sister Irina, the shy sister to Diane, hiding in the shadows. After Diane begs Vlad to protect Irina, he moves them both in with him and that where his seductive ways begin.

This book is the normal, amazing read that you expect from such amazing authors, but it was a little different to what I was expecting, however I think that this may be just the beginning of a great series and I cannot wait to see what come up next as I'm sure this pair have lots of crazy treats in store for their readers, and I for one cannot wait to see what they are.

Her other passions besides writing include reading and graphic design. K can always be found in front of her computer chasing her next idea and taking action. She looks forward to the day when she will see one of her titles on the big screen.

About Ker Dukey

My books all tend to be darker romance, edge of your seat, angst-filled reads. My advice to my readers when starting one of my titles…prepare for the unexpected. I have always had a passion for storytelling, whether it be through lyrics or bedtime stories with my sisters growing up. My mum would always have a book in her hand when I was young and passed on her love for reading, inspiring me to venture into writing my own. I tend to have a darker edge to my writing. Not all love stories are made from light; some are created in darkness but are just as powerful and worth telling. When I'm not lost in the world of characters I love spending time with my family. I'm a mum and that comes first in my life but when I do get down time I love attending music concerts or reading events with my younger sister.

BLOG TOUR: Spring on the Little Cornish Isles by Phillipa Ashley


Spring on the Little Cornish Isles: The Flower Farm
Fans of Jill Mansell and Carole Matthews will love this gorgeous new book from the author of the bestselling Cornish Café series.


Jess has lived at the idyllic flower farm on the Isles of Scilly her whole life, but when her boyfriend Adam leaves without explanation, Jess discovers that even her little slice of Cornish heaven can be lonely.

For the first time in Will’s life, he’s met someone he can’t stop thinking about. But nothing is simple when the woman of your dreams is working for you.

Gaby is running away from painful memories, and where could be more perfect than a remote island off the Cornish coast? But to put the past behind her, she must keep moving … however much she might want to stay.

Nothing is simple, even on paradise. Will love bloom for the residents of the little Cornish Isles?


Extract

Adam had asked her to go with him to a folk night at the Gannet pub on St Saviour’s at the start of the summer and, since then, Jess didn’t think she’d ever been happier. She helped to run a thriving business and lived in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Of course, she didn’t need a man to make her life complete, but meeting Adam had unveiled a new layer of joy. It wasn’t easy meeting people in a small, isolated community, and finding someone who she’d clicked with so perfectly was wonderful.
 ‘This is the Oxford Street of Scilly,’ Jess joked to Gaby when the buggy entered the top of Hugh Street, which was lined with shops, cafés, pubs and the isles’ only supermarket.
Gaby checked out the granite cottages and quaint shopfronts. ‘Oh. I see. Is this where I’ll find all the bars and clubs or are they on St Saviour’s?’
Jess exchanged a quick glance with Adam. He was stunned into silence. Jess cleared her throat, wondering how to reply. She turned around, trying to sound calm and positive, while thinking it might be kinder to turn the buggy back now and put Gaby straight on a plane home.
‘Um. There are a couple of pubs here and it can get quite lively during the gig rowing championships or if we have stag parties from Penzance over for the weekend. As for St Saviour’s, that has a pub and a smart hotel and we sometimes have nights out on the other islands, but there aren’t any actual clubs.’
‘Oh. I see …’ Gaby pulled a face. Then suddenly she let out a giggle. ‘Oh, I’m sorry. That was naughty of me. I’m joking. I came here for a quiet life.’
Relief flooded through Jess, combined with surprise at being taken in. Yes, there was definitely a steely side to Gaby Carter.
‘Oh, you’ll get that … after work, anyway. We’ll keep you occupied during the day.’ Very occupied, thought Jess. Late summer through to Christmas and beyond to Easter was by far the busiest time of the year at the flower farm. While frosts and festive mayhem took hold on the mainland, the farm’s packing shed would be also manic as they picked, sorted and sent millions of narcissi to bring golden light into the dark nights of people throughout the rest of Britain

RELEASE & REVIEW: Thief by A. Zavarelli




Title: Thief
Series: Boston Underworld #5
Author: A. Zavarelli
Genre: Dark Romance
Release Date: February 23, 2018


Blurb

I’m a good girl.

I live by a code that can’t be bent or broken. It is my duty to my family to stay innocent and pure. To marry an Italian man. The stars are already aligned.

But Nikolai Kozlov re-writes my destiny with five simple words.

You belong to me now.

He's Russian mafiya. A thief. A skilled liar with no moral boundaries. He is everything I have been taught to hate. A man who stands for nothing. A man who takes what he wants without a second thought.

And what he wanted was me.

He thinks he controls my fate, but what he doesn’t know is, sometimes it’s the good girls you have to watch out for. 


I’m a dangerous man.

I live by a code. The Vory code. It is my duty to my family to protect the brotherhood. To destroy anyone who threatens what we stand for, including her.

She’s a dancer. A beautiful little doll. My prisoner, and my new favorite puppet. This mafia princess thinks she has me under her spell, but in the end, she is simply collateral.

It’s a shame to destroy precious things.


But this is what bad men do.

Excerpt

The first thing I always notice about a person is their posture. I was raised to believe that good posture conveys good manners, as well as respect for those around you. Nikolai carries his posture like a casual ‘f#ck you’ to everyone around him. There is no decorum in his leather jacket, jeans, or his haphazardly laced motorcycle boots. Everything he wears is black, but the small glimpse of skin beneath is a riot of colors. Tattoos cover every inch of his exposed skin, including his throat.
I’m not sure which is more offensive- the ink or the faux hawk atop his head. This is not the way you attend a ballet, nor is he the type of man I expect my father to keep company with.
“Tanaka.” He reaches for my hand and kisses it in a way that few men would ever dare to do in my father’s presence. “You dance beautifully.”
The words are unmistakably accented. Russian. And I’m struggling to maintain my composure while making sense of this situation. My father has always been protective of me. His own men know better than to speak to me or look at me, but for this stranger, somehow, it’s okay.
My manners, at least, are still intact, so I reply as I should. “You’ve seen me dance?”
Nikolai flashes a boyish smile in contrast to the deepness of his blue-green eyes. “I like to invest my time in the arts.”


Claire's Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

When I first decided to read this book, I wasn't aware it was the fifth book in the series, so I will be going back and reading the previous four.

This book was the story of Nikolai and Tanaka, Tanaka is collateral for her father's debt and 'staying' with Nikolai until her father pays up. An unconventional start to a relationship; a dark romance but at the same time was so sweet. I am so intrigued to read the previous books in the series as I loved this story. The story was intense and edgy and kept me reading page after page to find out what would happen. 

I really enjoyed this book, it was well written and I can't wait to go on an A.Zavarelli binge and read more from this author.

Revenge themes and tortured souls are her favorites to write and this gives her an excuse to watch bizarre and twisted documentaries in her spare time.

She currently lives in the Northwest with her lumberjack and an entire brood of fur babies.
