 Falling for the Playboy - Synopsis

It’s good to be me.
Thanks to my last name, money is no object. According to the ladies, I’m charming.
And if I do say so myself, and I do, I’m good looking too.
I’m used to getting my way. Every. Single. Time. That is until Mallory Wray, a brunette beauty, lands in Hawaii.
Now my new favorite pastime is how to bed the gorgeous co-ed. Again.
…
An escape.
I’ll call it what it is. But there are worse places to spend the next three months than in paradise.
A fresh start without the chill of Colorado or cheating exes is exactly what I need.
No one is going to ruin this for me, especially not gorgeous playboys.
That is until I decide to throw caution to the wind and fall right into Evan Ashford’s bed.
Unlike him, I can’t separate my heart from my head, so I get out before I get hurt. Again.
I thought I left my broken heart on the mainland, but now I’m starting to wonder if Evan can heal it.
Here goes everything . . .

The last three months were the best of my life and now our time together is over too soon. Selfishly, I need more.
I want all of her, which is more than she can give with the distance that divides us.
I don’t want a day without her in it. I can’t sleep a night with her gone. We’re passion on a hot night, fireworks on the fourth,
and more than an undeniable attraction. A pain in my chest won’t subside, so I’m forced to make a choice that will determine the

DOUBLE COVER REVEAL: Truly Mine & Truly Yours by Kennedy Fox









The night we met in the dimly lit bar, she looked like a brunette bombshell, and I wanted to learn her deepest secrets. With sun-kissed skin and soulful bedroom eyes, she was pure temptation, and I was mesmerized.

As one drink led to two, I craved more of her playful banter and taunting lips. Resisting her wasn’t an option, and we quickly became a desperate mess of tangled limbs and hot kisses. She tasted like the sweetest sin, but I was no saint.

Once we caught our breaths, and it became obvious that meeting her wasn’t a coincidence, everything changed. Now I must deny her at all costs.

Friends. It’s all we can ever be.

After years of lying to myself and keeping her at a distance, I want to pull her close. Sophie’s on my mind more than ever as my instincts to protect her take over. Regardless of my attempts to help, she pushes me away and makes it clear she doesn’t need me.

I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe, to show her I’m the good guy, but one night takes a tragic turn for the worse when her boyfriend and I start throwing punches.

And ends when I’m arrested for his murder.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Hooked by Joanne Schwehm




Title: Hooked
Series: Prescott Series #5
Author: Joanne Schwehm
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: June 4, 2019



Blurb

I love my life. As owner and chef at one of the hottest restaurants, I know how to keep things sizzling in and out of the kitchen. What more could I ask for? But I’ll tell you what I didn’t ask for… a klutzy, curly-haired woman slamming into me with a unicorn cake. Yes, you read that right—a damn cake decorated to look like the mythical creature bathed in every color of the rainbow.

What could be worse, right? I’ll tell you. My brother hired her to be my pastry chef. You’d think that would be my biggest problem, but that was just the tip of the iceberg.

Aside from her being one of the clumsiest women I’ve ever met, she turns me on like no other woman has. She tastes sweeter than anything she creates, and we make a great team in and out of the bedroom... I mean kitchen.

When we first met, I worried my restaurant wouldn’t survive her. Now I worry that my heart won’t.

I never wanted to fall in love, but sometimes life isn’t all unicorns and rainbows.
Caroline's Review
✮✮✮✮✮

I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet, sexy story. 

"Between her crystalline eyes, sweet smile, culinary talent, and love of being in the kitchen, Gia Russo had started to grow on me."

Josh Prescott is wholly focused on making his restaurant, Prism, a success. Even though all his siblings have found 'The One', he himself has no time for relationships. He meets Gia Russo under the most inauspicious of circumstances, and when she starts working as his new pastry chef at his restaurant, there's no denying the attraction between them. Even though it's not ideal for them to be involved since he's her boss, she's like no one he's ever met before and he finds himself bending his own rules. 

"Something clicked inside of me anytime I was around him. Josh brought out an excitement inside of me and a desire that I had no idea existed."

Gia can't quite believe the career opportunity she's been given - working at Josh's restaurant where she's given carte blanche to create whatever she wants to. And, then there's her gorgeous boss. The more time she spends with him and his family, the more she feels herself falling. 

"Mine. When was the last time I wanted to claim someone in that way? Never, that was when."

This was a fab read! Totally adored Gia! She's sweet and klutzy, innocent and clever. I loved her modesty and earnestness. Josh is a wonderful guy! He's fair, caring, and genuine. And, hot AF!! I love the pull between them. I loved that they didn't play games with each other. I also loved the dynamics and banter that the Prescott family had, and how they welcomed Gia into their circle. 

This was a fun, feel-good read with a little bit of angst and a beautiful ending. I absolutely need to backtrack and read the earlier books in this series.

COVER REVEAL: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti



One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti
Genre: New Adult
Release: June 27, 2019

Blurb:

Adam Oliver hated me. Loathed my very existence. He had every right to, but that didn’t make my life any easier the afternoon I had to rescue him on the side of the road.

But worse than rescuing a guy who hated me to his core was the lie I told my parents.

Because I’d just told them that my long-term boyfriend was finally back in town.

My long-term boyfriend who didn’t actually exist.

The one named Adam Oliver—the guy I’d crushed on all through high school.

So the real Adam had no idea that he and I were engaged in a years-long, committed, serious relationship.

And, somehow, some way, I needed to convince him to play along with my one little lie.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: This is Crazy by Natasha Madison






From the best selling series, Something So comes the spin-off This is...

Zara Stone

All my life, I’ve said I will never date a hockey player. I know better because I’ve seen and lived it all. My father is a hockey god, my brother is the captain of the most successful NHL team in the world, and my brother-in-law also plays in the league. Their lives are complicated, so I went in the opposite direction.

I fell in love with a scholar. But instead of proposing marriage, he broke up with me.

Three months later, I saw his engagement picture on Instagram. I couldn’t let him get away with that. No, it didn’t matter what, I was going to make that man see that I did not need him.

Evan Richards

I was in the running to pass my point record from last year, ready to claim the number one spot in the league. On top of my game, I was riding my career high wave.

Then, Hockey’s Princess, Zara Stone tweeted me. She wanted me to crash her ex’s wedding.

The worst that could happen? A PR nightmare. The best? A fun night with a beautiful woman.

It started out as a game—something I’m good at. Her crazy idea twisted into something I wasn’t looking for, something neither of us wanted.

When push comes to shove, one thing runs through my mind:

This is Crazy. Also, this is crazy right.

Caroline's Review✮✮✮✮✮


A new-to-me author and I loved this story!

"She isn't pretty, and she isn't beautiful. Exquisite is the only word that comes to mind."

One crazy tweet in a fit of temper finds Zara Stone suddenly on a crazy roller-coaster of fun and new beginnings. What starts out as something of a revenge plan turns into something sweet, sexy and full of promise.

"It's because one kiss won't be enough. I know if I kiss you I won't stop kissing you."

Evan Richards is totally charmed by a funny tweet and ends up responding to the tweeter. When the tweeter turns out to be beautiful, intriguing, and someone from the hockey world, he is all for seeing how things go with her.

"It's at this moment I realize I'm in way over my head. This crazy thing is starting to snowball, and I'm afraid I won't survive the end of it."

I adored this story! It had a high feel-good factor, low angst, humour, and plenty of slow-burn sexy! Zara and Evan were gorgeous together. I loved their rapport, their connection and their chemistry, and how they really didn't care what other people thought. Looking forward to reading more of this author's books.

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: The Last First Game by Gina Azzi




Title: The Last First Game
Series: The College Pact Series #1
Author: Gina Azzi
Genre: Coming of Age Contemporary Romance
Release Date: June 4, 2019



Blurb

Sexy surfers. Epic parties. Wild nights.

Welcome to my senior year of college.

At least, this is what I imagine when I accept a semester-long medical internship in LA, California.

But reality trumps imagination when I meet him.

Cade Wilkins, Astor University football god and projected NFL draft pick. With thundercloud eyes, a teasing smirk, and a ripped body, Cade is my game changer.

I fall for him faster than he can score a touchdown.

Except our happily-ever-after is fumbled. 

One tackle ends him.

One party destroys me.

Broken promises. Ugly truths. Ruined futures.

Welcome to my senior year of college.

The real version.

***

The College Pact Series (originally published under The Senior Semester Series) has been re-edited and revamped with new content and a fresh look. All books in this series can be read as standalones.

Caroline's Review
✮✮✮✮
This book was really good and the storyline was totally unexpected!

"Our eyes catch and the heat that flares in his does things to me, things that normally don't happen."

Lila Avers has made a pact with her best friends to embrace her best life and make her senior year at college an epic one. It gets off to a rocking start when she meets the most gorgeous guy at JFK on her way to her internship in California. Turns out that he's en route to the same destination. 

"She's straight-up fierce, commanding the space around her, and coloring the air with her energy."

Cade Wilkins is in his final year of college with the promise of an NFL career in his future. He can't afford distractions but from the moment he lays eyes on the lovely Lila, he's pretty much a goner. No matter what he keeps telling himself, he can't help himself. She's refreshingly different, funny, confident and beautiful. He finds himself completely engaged by her.

"Let me light you up until we burn out."

Just when things start to look promising, he's blindsided by shocking news. When their situation is compounded by a horrible trauma, these two lovebirds are left questioning love, life and their future. 

"The desperation I feel to touch her unnerves me. It's too intense. Everything is too damn raw, too real."

I really enjoyed Lila and Cade's story. Their attraction was sizzling and magnetic. This is the first time I've read this author, so I don't know if her writing style is always like this, but if you're looking for steamy scenes, you won't find it here. However, there's no mistaking their connection and their ardour. They were beautiful together. I loved their candour and their simple enjoyment of being in each other's company. I also enjoyed the dynamics they had with their friends, especially Lila's best friends, who will feature in the rest of this series.

The turn in this story was completely unexpected but I was pretty hooked on the development - from a light flirty start to something really serious, as events in Lila and Cade's life makes them evaluate what is truly important.

Excerpt

Springing to my feet, I square my shoulders, and meet his gaze head-on. Dark gray storm clouds swirl, uncontrollable. He bites down on the corner of his mouth, kicking one foot up behind him, the sole of his shoe banging against the door.
Standing my ground, I hold his tortured perusal, unwilling to blink first.
“Lila.” He rasps, his eyelids hooded.
“Cade.”
“Why’d you run?”
“I had to go to the bathroom.”
The left side of his mouth twitches and he pushes off the bathroom door, another step closer to me. “No, you didn’t. You couldn’t get out of the room fast enough.”
“You think?”
“It was shitty of me to put you on the spot like that in front of all those people.”
“I told you I don’t want a…thing.” I gesture between us.
“I know. But this thing,” he steps closer, crowding me, “it’s not going anywhere.”
I shuffle back until I’m pressed against the bathroom wall opposite the door. This damn bathroom is suffocating, overflowing with Cade’s presence. Cade’s forearm settles next to my head, boxing me in. His mouth is only inches from mine, his tongue darting out to swipe across his bottom lip.
I groan, my body involuntarily arching toward his. Jesus, what is wrong with me? And what is he thinking? Who could have a proper argument with all of these… distractions?
“I shouldn’t have done that, blown up your spot, tossed all that attention your way. But babe,” he drops his forehead to mine, his breath fluttering over my lips like an invitation I desperately want to RSVP yes to, “I hated that so many people threw shade your way. Every comment I heard pissed me off so much more because it was said about you, not me. And I won’t let any of these people talk shit about you.” He jabs a finger toward the party transpiring outside of the smallest bathroom that ever existed. “And I’m not going to apologize for looking out for you.”
“Cade,” I’m breathless, quivering for him to stop talking and start touching. But I need to be strong, resolute … honest. “I’m leaving in four months. I don’t do –”
“Serious, I know. Me either.” His nose brushes against mine and I shiver. Shiver! “But give me a shot, Lila. I’m not going to wifey you. Just let me take you out, kick it with me, come to my games and rock my number, give it a chance.”
“What if it’s too much?”
His fingers close around my hips, tugging until my belly button is flush against his jeans. Jesus. Need pools within me and as his fingertips grip harder, his body grinding against mine, I whimper, desperate for relief from the wildfire consuming me.
“What if it’s too damn good?” he angles his head lower, his bottom lip ghosting mine. “Let me light you up until we burn out. Babe, I’m not feeding you lines. I want you, Lovely.”

COVER REVEAL: The Marriage Pact by Winter Renshaw







I was sixteen when I vowed I would never marry him.

We shook on it. Pinky swore. Even put it in writing and all but signed our names in blood.

It was the one and only thing we ever agreed on.

To the world, he’s Prince Ian, Duke of Montcroix, second in line to the Chamont throne. Panty-melting accent. Royal charm. Hypnotic presence. Blindingly gorgeous. Laundry list of women all over the world who would give their first born for the chance to marry him. Most eligible bachelor in the free world …

But to me, he’s nothing more than the son of my father’s best friend—the pesky blue-eyed boy who made it his mission to annoy the ever-loving hell out of me summer after summer as our families vacationed together, our parents oblivious to our mutual disdain as they joked about our “betrothal.”

He was also my first kiss.

And my first taste of heartbreak so cataclysmic it almost broke me.

I meant it with every fibre of my soul when I swore I’d never marry him.

But on the eve of my 24th birthday, His Royal Highness has the audacity to show up at my door after years of silence and make a demand will forever change the trajectory of our lives:
“We have to break our pact.”








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.
