DARE - A Rock Star Hero - Synopsis

Dare Marquis is a bad boy rock star with a body to match.

Cocky. Devilish good looks. A voice that commands attention.

A night with him and no strings attached is just what I need.

But he makes it impossible to not want more when he runs his hand through his dark, wild hair and smiles.

One he only shares with me.

Weatherly Beck is an angel with a body made for sin.

Whip-smart. Drop dead gorgeous. Too good for any guy from the east side.

Her life is planned out, so I don’t have a right to step in and mess up her future.

But when I look into her sapphire blue eyes and taste the innocence on her lips, I know we’re meant to be more than a one-night stand.

I want her to take a chance on me, to take a chance on us. She may not be a damsel in distress, but I Dare her to let me be her Hero.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: This is Wild by Natasha Madison

Viktor

My parents told me I skated before I walked. When I was eighteen I was drafted into the N.H.L third overall, playing in Los Angeles—the city of dreams. What more could I ask for? I played hard, but eventually, I partied even harder. Five years later I was traded a week after I entered rehab. There was no time for anything except my health and making sure I’d come out on top. I had to be better. There wasn’t another option.

One of the rules of recovery was ‘don’t fall in love’ and I made it a top priority. She was off limits in every single way.

Until it was too late

Zoe

When you grow up surrounded by hockey players you know one thing for sure, I was never going to settle down with one. Heck, I didn’t even know what icing was. I was too busy climbing the corporate ladder, becoming one of the most successful realtors in New York City. I wasn’t interested in dating or anything that got in my way.

First, he was my client and then he became my friend.

One night, one decision, one act can derail everything.

When push comes to shove, I’m only certain that, This is Wild.

Caroline's Review

✮✮✮✮1/2

4.5 stars for this heartfelt, slow-burn romance.

"Every single time our hands touched, it was like an electric shock to the system."

Viktor Petrov is a drug addict who has just finished rehab and about to start playing for the hockey team who took a risky chance on him. The road to recovery is long and arduous, and there's no room in his life for a relationship - least of all with the off-limits sister of his boss.

"I'm thankful that whatever happened led you here."

Zoe Stone has a rule - she doesn't date hockey players. She doesn't even like hockey, considering her whole family are in the hockey business. However, there's no denying that the beautiful, broken Viktor gets under her skin. No matter how much she tells herself that they're just friends, her heart knows the truth.

"I don't know how it is going to go, but I know that I didn't go through the hell I went through to not have you in the end."

This was a gorgeous, slow-burn romance. Viktor and Zoe had great chemistry. They skirted around one another, whilst trying to keep the other at arm's length - or, at least, convincing themselves that that was best. I loved the humour and oftentimes flirtatious banter between them. Viktor is strong yet vulnerable. I loved the support he had from the Stingers family and team. Zoe is a tough cookie, yet when her soft spots are revealed, my heart really ached for her. A fantastic story about struggles, second chances and love.

When her nose isn't buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she's in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It's a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn't listen to her...

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Until December by Aurora Rose Reynolds

Title: Until December
Series: Until Her #5

Author: Aurora Rose Reynolds

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 30, 2019

Blurb

Gareth Black is drawn to December Mayson the moment he spots her across the room at her cousin’s wedding. When he approaches the beautiful woman, she captivates him with her shyness and wit, making him crave her.

With a pull so strong it’s impossible to ignore, December knows there’s something between her and Gareth. She just hopes they’re capable of jumping the hurdles ahead of them.

Two boys, an ex, a surprise that will change everything, and a disgruntled co-worker, guarantee these two will have their work cut out for them if they are going to find their happily ever after.

Danielle's Review

✮✮✮✮✮

Holy cannoli! I nearly forgot how much I love this crew!!

Gareth Black is quite possibly my favorite hero of all the Until men. He’s a sexy alpha that is kind, loving and extraordinarily swoon-worthy.

December is a little bit geeky but completely and undeniably Mayson, strong and witty.

These two meet at one of her cousin’s wedding and there’s an immediate spark that neither can ignore. But they got off to a rocky start and it takes a minute to get back on the right track. Once they figure out that there’s no denying the fact that they were made for each other, the jump right in. All in. December falls head over heels for all three Black boys and I enjoyed the ride 100%.

RELEASE BLITZ: Simply Irresistible by Jennifer L Allen

Title: Simply Irresistible

Author: Jennifer L. Allen

Genre: Contemporary Romance

GOODREADS

Melanie: I can't even believe I didn't make eye contact with the guy on the elevator. I'd seen him before in my office building and he was totally awesome to look at. From what I could tell by the way his suit clung to him, he had a hot bod, too. Another missed opportunity! I'm so lame. Next time, I'll see if he wants to do lunch. I wonder if he listens to 80s music when he works out, because he has got to work out.

Tyler: Dude, that chick in the elevator was mad fine. My sister may think I'm not capable of keeping a relationship going, but she bugg'n. I'm gonna show the girl with the big green eyes that I'm all that and a bag of chips. Next time I see her, I'm gonna hit her up for sure. I wonder how she feels about watching 90s TV reruns on Friday nights? TGIF!

Melanie and Tyler may be decades apart, but working for the same publishing company brings the irresistible pair together. The ambitious duo is filled with dreams that don't include being executive assistants for the rest of their lives. Somewhere between the laughter and arguing over which decade brought the better entertainment and fads, they fall in love.

Tension mounts as the pressure and excitement of new opportunities increases and their dreams get closer to becoming a reality ... but what happens when one of their dreams doesn't come true?

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Perky by Julia Kent

Title: Perky

Author: Julia Kent

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Release Date: July 30, 2019

AN ALL-NEW STANDALONE FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR JULIA KENT

One hundred years ago when I was young and impulsive (okay, it was five, alright? Five years ago...) I let my boyfriend take, let's just say... compromising pictures of me.

(Shut up. It made sense at the time).

Surprise! The sleazy back-stabbing jerk posted them on a website and, well, you can guess what happened. That's right.

I'm a meme. A really gross one.

You've seen the pictures. And if you haven't - don't ask. And don't look!

As face recognition software online improves, I get tagged on social media whenever anyone shares my pictures. You try getting a thousand notifications a day, all of them pictures of your tatas.

So. I'm done.

It's time for revenge. Let him see how it feels! But how do you get embarrassingly intimate pictures of your jerkface ex who double-crossed you five years ago?

Especially when he's a member of the U.S.House of Representatives now?

Getting sweet between the sheets with a congressman is pretty much every political roadie's dream, right? I'm one in a crowd.

Except to this day, he swears he didn't do it. Pursued me for months after I dumped him five years ago. Begged me to take him back.

And I almost did it. Almost. I was weak and stupid and in love a hundred years ago.

Okay. Fine. Five.

But I still have the upper hand. Second chance romance has all the emotional feels, doesn't it?

I can't wait to punch him in the feels.

All I need to do is sleep with him once, take some hot-and-sweaty pics of him in... delicate positions, and bring him down. That's it. Nothing more.

Pictures first. Revenge after. And then I win.

At least, that's how it was supposed to happen. But then I did something worse than sexting.

I fell in love with him. Again.

Danielle's Review

✮✮✮✮

Persephone aka “Perky” & Parker have history. If you've read Fluffy then you already know what that history entails. Needless to say, Perky is having issues with forgiving him, even though he’s stood strong in his denial of the accusation.

It doesn’t take much, just a little manipulation and Parker finally has Persephone in his presence and he’ll do anything he can to convince her of his innocence.

Feelings resurface and sparks are abundant. What will it take for them to reconcile? Certainly not the catty journalist trying way too hard and his snotty mother who are always getting in the way.

This was precious! I loved Perky! She’s so spunky! And Parker is GAH! <3

Excerpt

Parker’s grasp as we kiss is masterful, his hips pivoting until we’re in a tiny closet, the door shutting behind us, our bodies surrounded by coats. At any second, someone could walk in, find us, interrupt and embarrass us, but I don’t care as my fingers grasp his thick, hard chest. He doesn’t care as his hand slides between my thighs, my need to be touched so great that I moan into his mouth, biting his lip. He makes a sound that says he needs this, too, his erection pressing into my hip, the centering of his thickness as he nudges my legs wider with his knee making me hold my breath as he rubs up, just once, just right, just there.

“I’ve missed you,” he hisses as his mouth takes my earlobe, sucking gently, then hard, the tip of his tongue flicking and laving, my clit spasming as it imagines him doing this between my legs. My fingertips dig into his shoulders, one hand diving down the length of his abs until I cup his sac, then ride the ridge of my palm up his long, thick, engorged–

“What are we doing, Parker?” I gasp.

“Whatever we want,” he says, so steady, so sure, so unabashedly here.

“SKIP?” someone calls out from behind the door.

“PERKY?” Mallory whisper-yells, her voice breaking through as I clench, my whole body going tight, the core of me shivering with an orgasm that crashes over me as Parker’s leg, his mouth, his very presence, make me lose my everloving mind.

And all my self-control.

Every shred of it.

RELEASE BLITZ: Resist by K. Bromberg

Add caption

"A sexy, emotional roller coaster ride with explosive chemistry between a powerhouse couple. I was hooked from the first page!"-- J.T. Geissinger, author

Resist, the first in an all-new irresistible duet by New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg is available now!

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Driven series comes a powerful romance about reaching great heights through low depths.

Who says you have to play by the rules to get what you want?

Agreeing to meet Ryker Lockhart is my first mistake. Rich, handsome, and more than intriguing, he thinks blackmail will bend me to his will.

But he’s wrong.

I may have done a few things that weren’t exactly legal, but I have my own reasons for that. The last thing I’m going to do is let some high-powered divorce attorney come into my life, have my body, and rule my heart. Not to mention ruin everything that I have carefully built in just a short amount of time.

But as much as I try to resist him, and against my better judgment, there is something about him that has me agreeing to his proposal.

I’m putting everything on the line for him. I just hope I won’t lose everything when this is all over.
