Release Blitz: Wasted Love with You

Author: Whitney G. 

Publication Date: February 28th, 2022

Genres: Contemporary Romance, Light Erotic


 



Synopsis


The last time my husband gave me an orgasm was … Well, that's never happened.

 

And from the way our marriage is crumbling under the weight of his lies, it never will.

 

Alas, after fighting like hell for a divorce, I promise myself that I'll never waste love on anyone else.

 

I don't even want to 'date' anyone else.

 

But that's until I literally run into a man who leaves me breathless at first sight, a man who etches his way into my memory with nothing more than a single smile and a question.

 

He's an enigma who doesn't want to give me his first name—a man who has more secrets than answers—and from the sexy smirk on his lips, I know that I should stay far away from him.

 

I try to keep my distance, but he pursues me anyway ...

 

When he offers me a job I can't refuse, I throw caution to the wind and take a chance.

 

I should've thought about this a little more.

 

Little do I know, this man is about to take me on a dangerous ride that might cost me everything.


Book 1 in the wickedly addictive Wasted Love trilogy.


Read the first seven chapters here.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟


Yowsers!

"I don't love my husband anymore - especially not on these days."

With that opening line, I knew I was going to be in for a ride! Autumn married Nate straight out of high school. Their marriage is stale and Nate is kind of a jerk. But, along comes Mr. R....hang on tight, people! This story was hot, suspenseful, and twisty! Dying for the next instalment!

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Sweet by Adriana Locke


Title: Sweet
Author: Adriana Locke
Cover Designer: Kari March
Release Date: February 28, 2022

Buy link: https://geni.us/SweetLocke

TROPES: single dad, workplace romance, grumpy hero, age gap, forced proximity




Synopsis:


USA Today Bestselling author Adriana Locke delivers a “fresh and fun!” romance between a grumpy single dad and his beautiful, spunky employee—the one he can’t have.

Chemistry is not love.

That’s what my boss, the grumpy single dad with brilliant green eyes, says anyway.

I have my V-card. He’s ten years older than me. I work for him.

Nate Hughes has a million reasons why a relationship between us would never work. Honestly? It’s all a farce.

He can’t deny our connection. His soft smiles, brief touches, and protective behaviors come too easily. And when I need a place to stay? He can’t stop himself from offering me a room—though I’d prefer his bed. After all, there are sparks—delicious, sizzling sparks—when we’re together.

Our forced proximity brings things to a head. Our shared experiences and traumas draw us closer. Our undeniable attraction has us toeing the line between friends and lovers—whether Nate likes it or not.

He’s right—chemistry is not love. But that doesn’t mean that I won’t fall in love with him … even if he can’t love me back.

Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟


Adored this gorgeous, sexy story!

Nate Hughes is the grumpy, single dad that owns the bar where Paige Carmichael works. She loves to tease him and push his buttons, while he tries to keep her at arm’s length. However, when she finds herself homeless and moving in with Nate and his cute son, Ryder, the close proximity is more than a challenge for them, as the undeniable spark between them burns brighter.

I loved Nate and Paige! I loved their chemistry, their banter, and All. The. Steam!! Both had had troubled childhoods and both have worked hard to overcome them. Nate was hella swoony as Paige brought out his alpha side. I totally admired Paige. I loved her sassiness, her strength, and her resilience. I thought they were a perfect match. This story had a bit of everything – humour, sexiness and emotional pull. Such a fabulous read!

 





Excerpt:


“Do you want me to pay rent or help with groceries? We really didn’t go over any of that,” she says, licking her lips.

My gaze settles on her finger approaching the pudding container again. “You’re a college student with a part-time job. You don’t have any money.”

“That’s true.” She smiles smugly before lifting her eyes to mine. “I’m sure we could come up with something.”

She trails her finger around the walls of the plastic before bringing it to her lips again. With her hand poised in front of her face, she smiles at me.

Nope. Not letting that happen.

I clamp her wrist with my hand and suspend it in midair. Her eyes go wide, her breath halting in her throat as she waits for my reaction.

Her skin is warm in my palm. Her wrist is so small, so delicate, that I ease my grip so I don’t accidentally hurt her.

I’m not sure why I touched her, but it’s either because I’m sleep-deprived and it’s late or I want to teach her a lesson. Or maybe I just want to see her reaction.

I stare at her as deeply as I can. She holds her breath as she considers—hopes? fears?—what I’m going to do.

I twist her wrist and bring her hand to my face. A smirk settles on my lips as her entire body stills.

Then with the most deliberate move I’ve ever made, I bring her finger to my mouth.

My heart thunders in my chest as my self-restraint shatters into a million pieces.

I suck her finger between my lips. She gasps, her body shaking in response. I run my tongue around the pudding before biting lightly against her skin as I remove her digit from my mouth.

Every muscle in my body tightens. My blood heats to a dangerous degree. My hand trembles as I hold her hand in mine and try desperately not to tug her whole body into me.

Her chest heaves. She forces a swallow as she leans back against the counter. Her breath is loud and quick, breaking the silence of the room.

“Shit,” she says, a mixture of a plea and a promise.

I just look at her and smile. “Is that what you wanted?”

She swallows again.

I release her wrist from my palm. Then I lean in until we’re only inches apart—until I’m so close that I can smell the sweetness of her breath—and grin.

“That’s the only time my mouth will get anywhere near you.” I turn toward the doorway, ignoring the protest of every cell in my body. “I’ll see you in the morning.”


#3:

“Now it’s my turn,” she says, the strength in her voice slipping.

“For what?”

“You have two choices.”

“Between …?”

She licks her lips. “Choice one is that we can stand here all night and address this situation.”

“Or?”

A slow, so-fucking-slow grin slips across her kissable lips. My whole body comes alive, pushing, pulling, all-out boiling for this woman.

God, help me.

“Or you can get over here and undress me instead.”





COVER REVEAL: You Keep Breaking Us by Carrie Aarons

 



Carrie Aarons has revealed the
cover for You Keep Breaking Us!




Releasing March 11, 2022

We were the ultimate example of that couple who can't live with each other, but can't seem to function without each other.

The minute I met Callum Strass at fifteen, I was a goner. We were the golden couple of our high school. The king and queen of prom, the sweethearts voted most likely to get married and have babies, and the absolute idiots who decided to attend the same college.

Because that's when it all fell apart. The naïve, puppy love versions of ourselves couldn't see the obvious cracks we'd had back in our hometown. But they sure revealed themselves when we started living in an off-campus house together with four of our other friends.

Within a semester, blow-out fights, jealousy, every-other-week breakups, and my abandonment issues had him bowing out. Not just on me, but on the house, too. Until our senior year, when his parents refuse to keep paying rent on two places.

So he moves back in, and I'm forced to live with my ex. The one who has ruined all other men for me. The one I still cry myself to sleep at night thinking about. The one who confesses, during a run-in in a dark hallway, that he hates how much he still loves me.

And when he starts dating again, he might as well plunge a knife straight through my heart. Despite our breakup, I'm on the verge of losing him for real this time, and possibly forever. The only option is to seek help for my deep-seated trauma, the thing that Callum always encouraged me to see someone about. The thing that eventually pushed him away.

Put two of the most driven, headstrong, and passionate people in any relationship and it's bound to combust. We've always had that twin flame kind of love.

So, together we might burn. But we also might heal.

RELEASE BLITZ: Loving Rose by Vikki Jay

 

Release Date: February 25


Zander.

My fiancé, CEO of our company, is offering me everything on a silver plate – family, love, security. 
Things I’ve missed all my life.

My heart almost catapults out of my body whenever I realize how perfectly Zander has filled the empty hole in my heart.

He turned his life upside down for me.

He calls me by my name. A word he dreaded all his life.

He moved to Cherrywood for me, because this is the only place where I feel like home.

Now he’s patiently waiting for me to say three words: I am ready.
But I’m not.

Marrying Zander and starting the family he wants would mean placing my trust in fate, believing that I’m truly safe… that my children would be truly safe.

He’s promising me the future of my dreams, but how can I let go of the past?

Loving Rose is the second and final book in Rose and Zander’s story.

Meet Vikki Jay 

In those early morning hours when I’m alone, my imaginations run wild and I pen down the life of people living in my head. I live in a small town in Germany. The friendships, the camaraderie that people share around me inspired me to create Cherrywood and St. Peppers, the two towns where all my stories take place. 

I write about beautiful coincidences, finding love in unexpected places and times, and fighting hard to get that happily ever after.

I reject to read, see, write anything that does not promise a HEA. 

My characters are sexy yet shy, strong yet reserved…

I am married to a man whom I fell in love at an age of 15, proposed him at an age of 23 and married at an age of 30. He has no clue what I write or do when he snoring quietly in the next room.

RELEASE BLITZ: The Temptation of Dirty Secrets by Holly Renee

 

Captivating
Vulnerable
Agonizing
Seductive

The Temptation of Dirty Secrets, an all-new second chance romance and conclusion in The Seduction of Pretty Lies Duet from bestselling author Holly Renee is now live!

Captivating. Vulnerable. Agonizing. Seductive. Frankie Clermont was supposed to be like a sister to me for as long as I’d known her.

But no one knew the depths of our lies.

I had been in love with her before… before everything changed what we could be.

Undeniably connected and effortlessly infatuated, the two of us had remained each other’s weaknesses through everything.

I couldn’t afford to allow her to be my weakness anymore. I was in love with someone else. I was engaged.

But it didn’t matter how much time had passed, the moment I saw her again, I knew I would never escape her.

I never should have touched her again. Whispering her name in the dark was a mistake.

She was still everything I wanted and nothing I should have had.

We became a secret that neither of us could keep.
A devastating secret that would destroy everything.

Moving into his family estate is the real test.
It gets worse when I accidentally see him naked in the shower, moaning my name.

http://mybook.to/hishollowheart







Blurb: 

His hollow heart called to me.


Charred black from years of his own torture.


An urge to fill the empty spaces that I was responsible for when I left him.


He thought I deserved the same wrath he endured all those years ago.


I came when I was summoned.


Unaware that my past was waiting behind closed doors.


One look into those eyes that wore dark shades of fury, and I knew this was part of his plan.


With time, I started to see fragments of the boy I once knew.


Before long, he was a man holding the key to my heart. 


Now that I’m ready to give him all of me, he’s gone and all that’s left is the broken pieces of my shattered heart. 


Book Two of the Fallen Kingdom Duet. It is recommended to read Book One, His Hollow Heart first.


Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟


This was a great conclusion to Callum and Bella's story.

As the story opens, Cal is missing and Bella finds herself in a terrible situation. An enemy was in their midst all this time. The story was suspenseful, dark and hella hot! I loved Bella's conviction that Cal was somewhere out there still rather than gone forever, and I adored Cal's protectiveness of her. I was totally rooting for their HEA, whilst secrets and betrayals were uncovered. A fab, riveting read.
