RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Can You Handle It? by Whitney G.

 


HAPPY RELEASE DAY TO WHITNEY G.!!!

Naughty Bedroom Collection Book 2



It all started with a sext message ...

Well, it actually "ended," but that's a story for another day.

Freshly divorced, I decide to spend a week at a luxury retreat for singles.

I should've known better ...

The only man I manage to "meet" is my massage therapist, who is way too young for me, but that doesn't stop him from pursuing me at the resort.

He makes it all too tempting, all too easy to say yes.

Thankfully, I manage to check out without giving in, but he shows up at my doorstep days later to finish what we started.

The thing is, his age isn't the only problem between us.

He's also my best friend's younger brother...

Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟



Adored this hot little novella by one of my favourite authors!

"As he kissed me harder, deeper, I tasted repressed longing and wanting, and I didn't want him to stop - longing and wanting, and I didn't want him to stop - ever."

Tyler's always had a crush on his older sister's bestie. Harlow can't deny that nerdy Tyler has grown up pretty darn fine! He's completely off-limits but she's never forgotten the kiss he stole from her. When she books herself into a 'special' retreat, the last person she expects to meet there is Tyler.

"You're f*cking beautiful when you're on the edge, but I really need to know what it's like to see you come."

These two were sizzling! I loved their connection and chemistry. The dialogue was snappy, cheeky and funny. There's nothing I didn't like about this story - except maybe I wished it'd been a full novel! Love this author's unexpected storylines but can always expect her to deliver a hot, amusing story!








It all started with a sex scene…

Well, I was failing to write a sex scene.

As an author of over fifty smut books, I was struggling to do what I did best. So, for fun, I asked one of my best online friends for some help.

I really shouldn’t have done that…

He wrote the scene far better than I ever could, and seven months of platonic, yet-flirty friendship were wiped away in ten minutes.

He asked to meet me in person…

We’d previously agreed to keep things digital, to remain faceless friends—since he was forty-two, and I was twenty-six, but neither of us could resist.

When I saw him at the airport, I was instantly attracted to him.

But I knew, right then and there, that we could never be.

Turns out that the man I’d been talking to for the past several months is the last person I expected.

The last person I should ever think about…

He’s my dad’s best friend.

Blurb:


He arrives all dressed in black. Diamond cufflinks. A watch on his tanned wrist that cost more than we would ever see in a lifetime of work. He carries a single red rose for my mother.

Months later, Tiernan Morelli lays red roses on my mother’s grave. That same day, he tells me that he is my new guardian.

I should have known from the very start that he had more in common with the thorns than the rose.  Now I know the truth: I’m a pawn in his dangerous game of revenge. I was too young and naive. Now it's too late to save myself from his clutches.

I belong to him. 


Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

SO GOOD! SO, SO GOOD!!

I've been meaning to try this author for a while now and this book was the perfect first!

"It was that look in his pale green eyes. A look that said, I dare you to sin. A look that welcomed your darkest desires."

When Bianca Belcante first meets Tiernan Morelli, he is her mother's lover. He is cruel and outrageously arrogant. When her mother unexpectedly passes away, he's the only one she can remotely turn to. Unbeknownst to her, Tiernan has a whole other agenda going on where she is concerned.

"Her innocence contrasted to that dark, yearning curiosity was an intoxicating combination that made me feel as though I was about to lose my mind."

This was a thrilling read! Tiernan is a dark and depraved anti-hero. Bianca is a means to an end. An end that he has sought for years. For revenge. For recognition. I loved his journey in this novel from someone who wasn't even looking for redemption but finding it anyway in the form of a beautiful, young woman and her cute, lovable younger brother. I loved how they wormed their way under his skin, into his cold heart, into his soul. Bianca was an amazing girl with an old soul. She had high ideals and lofty ambitions, and her little brother was her life. Tiernan was like no one she'd ever met before, and to be fair, Bianca was like no one he'd ever met before either. I adored her gutsiness and her courage. I loved that she wouldn't be cowed by anyone. The two of them had potent, explosive chemistry that was wrong for so many reasons, but I couldn't help but want it so much for them. This story was compelling, darkly raw and sexy, and I can't wait for the concluding novel.

COVER REVEAL: The Office Guest by Whitney G.

 

COVER REVEAL for THE OFFICE GUEST 

Will you help us spread the word?


BLURB: 

This could possibly be the worst holiday season ever…

My ex-boyfriend just booked the best suite at the resort where I work (with his new girlfriend, not me), half of the staff has called in sick with the flu (they’re lying so they can attend a huge festival in town), and my sister is driving me crazy with her incessant wedding planning.

These things wouldn’t normally be a big deal during any other season, but “Christmas” changes everything.

And this Christmas, my “little big lie” about a non-existent fiancé is finally in danger of being exposed to my family …

To prevent that from happening, I decide to download The Office Guest.

It’s an app for anyone who needs to hire a “fake & attractive businessman” to impress close family and friends.

At least, that’s what I was hoping for.

When the guy I selected bails on me at the last minute, the app promises to send me “an even sexier replacement.”

They must’ve meant “the devil wrapped in red,” because this guy is not some random actor.

And he’s definitely not a “fake” businessman…

He’s my former boss.

The asshole who fired me four Christmases ago.

Okay, now it’s officially the worst holiday season ever...

This is the second standalone novella in The Holiday Homecoming Collection.



THE OFFICE GUEST is the second standalone in the Holiday Homecoming series and is available for PREORDER.

~ HOLIDAY HOMECOMING SERIES~

THE OFFICE PARTY is the first standalone in the Holiday Homecoming series.

I can’t believe that I pulled my boss’s name for our company’s annual Secret Santa tradition…

As the devil incarnate, this infuriating, cocky bastard never gives us the holidays off, and he honestly expects us to be grateful for his generous alternative: The Office Party.

It’s a mandatory, all-expenses paid trip for two weeks at a surprise luxury resort—where we still have to work twelve to fifteen hours a day.

I’m so over this…

So, I put zero percent effort into his gift. I tear the tag off whatever my sister gifts me, add a five-dollar Amazon gift card, and hand it off to him.
It’s not until my sister sends me a text that I realize how terrible of a decision that was.

Georgia: Why haven’t you sent me a 'LOL' about the brand-new vibrator I got you? I really do hope that you use your boss’s face as a muse, like my note says. :-)

If that’s not bad enough, this year’s "luxury trip" will be in my hometown--the place I've avoided for years. At the resort that my grandmother owns...

If the universe gets me out of this, I will never ‘regift’ anything ever again…

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Whiskey Moon by Winter Renshaw

 





Amazon 






A broken marriage pact gives way to a devastating love that won’t let go in this heart wrenching contemporary romance from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Winter Renshaw. 


Bogie had Bacall. Carrie had Big. I had Wyatt.


Growing up, he was the handsome cowboy next door, an unlikely confidant, my best friend, my first kiss, and my favorite person.


We were just a couple of small town kids with ambitions bigger than the stars in our eyes. The summer after graduation, we made a pact: I’d go to college in New York and he’d stay and take over his daddy’s ranch. If by twenty-eight we were both still single, we’d get married …


But as we stood in our high school gymnasium the night of our ten-year reunion, Wyatt told me he loved me too much to marry me.


He’d never broken a promise to me in his life, but in a single heartbeat he broke the only one that ever mattered. 


He said it would all make sense someday, that there would come a time I might even be able to forgive him. 


But then I stumbled upon the truth.


And there was no forgiving a secret this shattering—one that made me question if I ever knew him at all; one that only made me want him that much more. 


Bogie had Bacall. Carrie had Big. I had Wyatt.

Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟


This story was sweet, sexy, and angsty.

"There'll never be someone else. Only you."

When Blaire Abbott went to NYC to follow her acting dreams, her boyfriend, Wyatt Buchanan, swore that he would wait for her. In ten years' time, if they were both still single, then they would marry each other. However, not along after Blaire arrived in NYC, she lost contact with Wyatt. Nearly ten years later, she's back in their small town, and finds that although Wyatt gave up on her, he's never moved on and she's determined to get answers.

"I can't kill the deep-seated want I have for this man. It's in my marrow. In my soul. In every fiber of my body."

Oh, Wyatt! I wanted to hold him close and comfort him. He was such a good man. He held his secrets close to his heart. He didn't lie - he just refused to tell his truths. My heart hurt for him so much. He and Blaire were always meant to be but he did what he needed to do, even though it cost him his own happiness. This was a great story that was hot and also tugged at the heartstrings. I was rooting for them all the way.








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. When she’s not writing, she’s living the American dream with her husband, three kids, and the laziest puggle this side of the Mississippi.

Blurb:


Once upon a time, the Vlasta Vipers hockey team was so incredible — on and off the ice — they were almost mythical.

All the other college athletes across the country wanted to be them.

All the chicks who glided into their gazes were excited to bang them.

Their reputation was that of Gods who wore skates instead of sandals.

And thanks to a certain center's constant leadership on the ice, they are true champions once again.

Captain Patrick Peck lives and breathes hockey, yet one glimpse at his head coach's loud-mouth, full of life niece who has just moved to Vlasta, and suddenly, he wants more.

More days of watching old TV shows and less days of listening to hockey podcasts.

More nights of hearing her scream his name and less nights of scheduling extra practices.

More memories out of the rink and less memories of only being loved in it.

Will this overly focused center be able to balance hockey and love, or will he be forced to abandon one for the other?


About the Author:


Xavier Neal is a best-selling romance author who enjoys hopping from sub genre to sub genre like a game of Hopscotch she can't resist.

In between writing, she loves to read (everything from romance to self improvement books), watch movies (old and new), eat too much Tex-Mex (her Chuy's t-shirt collection is out of control), and watch AHL hockey games LIVE (preferably against the glass whenever possible).

She currently resides happily in Texas with her bearded husband "Lumberjack” and their two fur babies.

EXCERPT REVEAL: His Hollow Heart by Rachel Leigh

 


HIS HOLLOW HEART by Rachel Leigh 

Release Date: November 4th

Add to Goodreads:

Excerpt: 


“I want you to play the piano for me,” I mutter into her mouth. 

 

I’ve waited twelve years for this. Twelve long years wishing I could watch the way her fingers dance across the keys. The way her mouth parts slightly as she concentrates, every now and then her tongue sweeping across her top lip to wet it. The lust behind her eyes as the passion of playing consumes her. 

 

She pulls back, peering up at me. “You want me to play the piano?” 

 

My fingers slide underneath the spaghetti strap of her dress. “Take this off and play me that piece you wrote when we were kids.” 

 

Her pupils dilate with her fixed gaze. “You want me to take my dress off and play the piano?” 

 

“Not just your dress. I want it all off—now.” I pull the strap down, exposing her shoulder to me, then the other, until they’re both hanging freely on her arm.

 

Bella clears her throat and runs her hands down her dress. “You’re kidding, right?” 

 

She should know by now that I don’t joke, especially not when it comes to matters of her obedience. “No, I am most definitely not kidding.” 

 

She will do what I say, or the repercussions will be much worse than her ridding herself of her clothes and pouring her heart into a song that I demand to hear. 

 

Her trembling fingers attempt to adjust the strap of her dress, but I grab her hand and shake my head. “Now, Bella.” I press.

 

“Cal,” she takes a calming breath, avoiding eye contact as her eyes stay affixed to the door, “I’m not taking my dress off. That’s absurd.” She takes a step forward as if she’s planning to make an escape, but I throw my arm out, grabbing her around the waist. 

 

“Then I’ll take it off for you.”




Blurb: 


Bella 

A pact made. 

Two orphans who vowed to never part. 


I was selfish—for once, I had to be. 

The last time I saw Callum he was standing at the dormer window as I sat in the back seat of the car. 

His dark eyes foreign to me. 

The hatred that radiated from his glare shot through me with more force than a silver bullet. 

In a matter of minutes he had become a stranger.  

No longer my best friend. 

He was now a boy with a hollow heart who was headed down a dark path. 

A path I knew I’d never cross again. 

Or, so I thought. 


Callum

We had a deal—always stay together. 


The day Bella left, I vowed I would find her. And when I did, she would feel what I felt as I watched her pull away into a new life, with a new family. 

Leaving me behind to endure a life that was wrapped inside the hands of a monster.


It’s been twelve years, but I’ve finally found her. 

Now it’s time for her to bask in the darkness she’s created inside of me.
