NEW RELEASE & REVIEW: Rascal by Katie McCoy




Title: Rascal
Series: Rascals #1
Author: Katie McCoy
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: April 30, 2018



Blurb

My new neighbor is irresistible, and he’s keeping me up ALL night long…

Emerson Hayes is sexy, arrogant, and has abs that would put a Hemsworth to shame. He’s also opening a bar with his buddies right below my apartment. Goodbye, peace and quiet, hello sleepless nights fantasizing about my hot new landlord…

But when my stuffy workplace makes it clear I need a plus-one for our events, I have the perfect way to even the score. Emerson is A+ arm-candy… as long as I can resist taking a bite. Our arrangement is supposed to be just for show, but Emerson is like that fifth shot of tequila: tempting, intoxicating, and liable to leave me flat on my back with my panties around my ankles, begging for more.

Maybe I should stay for just one more round…

Sparks fly in the hot new standalone series from Katie McCoy.

Caroline's Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fun, sexy read! Really enjoyed it. 

"I knew right then that he was going to kiss me. and I wanted it bad."

Alex is open to romance but finds it hard to believe in true love. One hot encounter later and she's constantly thinking about Emerson, even though she dashed away without any telling him her surname or giving him her number. Focused on work, she's too busy for relationships.

"A stranger who ditched me without exchanging numbers, haunted my dreams."

Emerson is a serial monogamist. When the sexy stranger, who crossed his path, suddenly reappears back in his life, he's not willing to let her go, even though he's too busy for relationships.

I thought this was a fun, sexy read. Alex has been affected by past events in her life and she's wary of love. She's also vying for a key position at work, so she honestly just doesn't have time for a relationship. I loved the way she and Emerson met - it went from cringingly hilarious to seriously hot! Alex was sincere and had a good heart, and I loved how she stood up for herself and stood by her convictions.

Emerson was a good, solid guy. He had his fair share of insecurities but I enjoyed his pursuit of Alex. He and Alex gelled from the very beginning, and I loved that he was willing to put himself out there for her and her happiness.

This story was also a good introduction to the rest of Emerson's friends - I loved how they looked out for one another. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the series.

BLOG TOUR, REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Friend Zone by Nicole Blanchard



Friend Zone
by Nicole Blanchard
Publication Date: April 24, 2018
Genres: New Adult, Contemporary, Romance 






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. 


Caroline's Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐



Really enjoyable best-friends-to-lovers story. Liam and Charlie were gorgeous together!

"There was only her. It had taken me most of my life to really see her. And now it was like I only had eyes for her."

Charlie and Liam have been best friends for ten years and it's always been purely platonic. However, one impulsive kiss has them both reeling out of the friend zone. It's as if a curtain has lifted and they are seeing each other in a new light. But, Charlie is a commitment-phobe. And, Liam barely has time for a relationship with his job and heavy study load. Is a love affair worth risking their solid friendship?

"F*ck just friends. Then took a step toward her, come what may. We could be so much more than that."

When a disastrous incident leaves Charlie homeless, Liam insists she moves in with him. However, the close proximity absolutely tests their restraint.

I really enjoyed Charlie and Liam's journey. Charlie has a big wall around her heart due to circumstances surrounding her family. She and Liam were childhood friends and always have each other backs. However, a realisation that Charlie might one day belong to someone else has Liam waking up to the fact that he never wants her out his life. 

"It was as though I'd discovered another side of him, one that fit all my jagged edges like the perfect matching puzzle piece."

Their first kiss was a revelation and starts a sizzling attraction between them. I loved how they both started fantasising and seeing each other as a sexual being rather than a platonic pal. I admired Charlie's bravery to put herself out there and really give their relationship a go because of her trust and faith in Liam and the friendship they shared before. I adored Liam's conviction that they could be something much more - that they could build on the foundation of their friendship to have something wonderful. His somewhat alpha ways were super sexy! 

This story also introduces us to characters for the other books in this series, and I'm so looking forward to reading them.

RELEASE BLITZ: Cheeky King by Nana Malone




Title: Cheeky King
Series: Royals Undercover #2
Author: Nana Malone
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: April 30, 2018



Blurb

What good is a King without his Queen?

Sebastian…

I never wanted the crown, but now it's mine.
Instead of my freedom–instead of her.
But even though she’s not mine to keep, I can’t seem to stay away.

Penny…

The moment he became king, I knew we were over.
Now I’ve returned home some kind of conquering hero.
If only they all knew that we'd both lost our hearts.
If only I could stay out of the royal bed.

What good is being cocky if you can’t get what you want?

Claire's Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is the second installment of Royals Undercover and starts right where the first book Cheeky Royal finishes, so these need to be read in order and not as standalones. Cheeky Kings begins with Sebastian awaiting his coronation and still upset over Penny lying to him, yet at the same time, he cannot stop thinking about her.

Gosh, how I love Sebastian and Penny! Although I may admit the backward and forwards between them did drive me crazy, to begin with, and I felt I wanted to knock their heads together. Sebastian was angry at Penny and she, to an extent let him get away with it, but at the same time, all she cared about was his safety.

This was a fun, romantic and very enjoyable read. Written in dual point of view so you can see from both Sebastian and Penny's sides.

RELEASE: Lyric by Molly McAdams

Lyric

A stand-alone romance novel in the Rebel series – a Redemption series spin-off


New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Molly McAdams delivers the first captivating, stand-alone novel in her REDEMPTION series spin-off—the REBEL series . . . 
I’m not the kind of girl you forget.  
I wish I was.  
I wish I was normal.  
That I could blend into a crowd. Have a future with the man I’ve loved my entire life… 
Maxon James understands me in a way others can’t. 
For as long as I can remember, he’s vowed that one day he would claim my wild, rebel heart. God knows I wanted him to try. I wanted the life he promised me in his lyrics. 
But his assurances couldn’t change the past, and the infamous mafia blood in my veins guarantees my heart can’t be claimed. 
Somewhere along the way, I slipped. I let myself believe we could have it all. Now a dark, menacing shadow hovers between us, mocking us for daring to hope for a normal future.  
And it’s come to collect on a blood oath.  
My name’s Elizabeth Borello—Libby for short. Don’t worry about forgetting it… He hasn’t.

Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband, daughter, and fur babies. When she's not diving into the world of her characters, some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks on the beach … which roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing out movie quotes. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies and fried pickles, and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm ... or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren't really happening.
