RELEASE BLITZ: The Perfects by Rachel Van Dyken
Everything was perfect.
Until it wasn't.
The Perfects by Rachel Van Dyken is now live!
Find out what happens when their perfect image breaks in #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken's steamy new adult romance.
Everything was perfect.
Until it wasn't.
Until my family took on a foster girl and placed her across the hall from me. A charity case to look good and a person who should have never existed in my world.
I kissed her to get her to stop talking, and then I kissed her again because I liked the taste of her words--I liked her.
It was our secret until we got caught--that night changed everything.
We became strangers living in the same house, seeing the same ghosts of our past mistakes, but I can't stop thinking about us, about those forbidden moments.
I pretend to hate her, I tell her I'll never forgive her, and then Quinn, my ex-best friend, steps into the picture. I can't tell if he actually likes her or if he has a death wish and just likes pissing me off, but what do I say? Stay away from my foster sister?
She's mine?
I've already had her?
Saying that to him would expose what we were and ruin everything.
We're all three of us living multiple lies, and eventually, I know our ivory tower of perfection is going to come crashing down.
He knows my secrets.
I know his.
And now she knows both.
She wants.
He wants.
But I always—always get what I want.
And what I want is the girl, no matter what it may cost me.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Love and Kerosene by Winter Renshaw
 |
Two people find love in the embers of their painful pasts in this slow-burn romance from Wall Street Journal and #1 Amazon bestselling author Winter Renshaw.
For me, family is a curse. My father and brother made my life hell. My mother’s untimely death still keeps me up at night. Now that my brother, Donovan, has been killed in an accident, I can forget the past.
The last remnant is the childhood home I’ve inherited—and which I intend to burn to the ground. The only obstacle? Anneliese Nielsen, Donovan’s fiancée.
Donovan left her destitute, and selling this run-down house is her only chance to recoup her losses. I shouldn’t care, but…maybe it’s her eyes when she sees me. I look strikingly like my brother, a man she loved despite everything.
So we strike a deal. We’ll renovate the house together, but she’ll have to convince me to sell—or up in flames it goes.
But the more time we spend in the house, the more its terrible history threatens to come out.
And even more dangerous, the harder I start to fall for Anneliese.
Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟
I thought this was a great read.
"If my life was a story, you'd be the plot twist."
When Anneliese Nielsen first sees Lachlan Byrne, it feels like she just saw a ghost - specifically the ghost of her late fiancé, Donovan. Turns out that he is Donovan's brother - a brother that he never mentioned. Like a lot of other things that Donovan never mentioned. Lachlan has come to claim the family home that Anneliese moved into with Donovan. He wants to burn it down along with all the painful memories it holds, then get the hell out of town again. Anneliese wants to fix it up and recoup all the money she's ploughed into it. When Lachlan makes a proposal that could go either way, she has no choice but to accept it. They didn't bank on getting along. They didn't expect to start relying on one another. And, they definitely didn't plan on falling for each other.
"I know you said this was a bad idea...But you're wrong. Being with you is the only thing that makes sense to me."
This was a lovely story. I enjoyed the way the relationship between Anneliese and Lachlan grew. Their connection, their joy in being with each other, the way they didn't like being apart, and the way they looked forward to coming home to each other. I adored how each chapter started with an unusual word and definition - I found this super fun - and the significance of unusual words in the story. Lachlan's background kinda broke my heart. He deserved so much happiness in his life, and I loved that he found it with Anneliese, who was such a kind person and really deserved someone special in her life, too.
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.

BLOG TOUR & REVIEW: Worth the Wait by Karla Sorensen
Worth the Wait, an all-new second chance small town romance from Karla Sorensen, is available now in Kindle Unlimited!
You know what I don’t have time for? The brooding, dark-eyed former love of my life showing up when my life is finally settling down.
I don’t have time for Hunter Buchanan and that intense look in his eyes. The way he loved me so perfectly all those years ago.
I’m the one who asked him to leave back then, my attempt at saving him from the chaos of my screwed up family.
I didn’t expect him back in Green Valley, looking better than before and with an empty ring finger. And I definitely didn’t expect him to still be in love with me.
I don’t have time for the things I feel around him, or how amazing it is when he touches me.
Most of all, for the broken heart I’ll have if I have to say goodbye again. I survived him leaving once before, but I don’t think I can do it again.
So there’s only one thing I can make time for… staying away from Hunter Buchanan.
‘Worth the Wait’ is a full-length contemporary romance, can be read as a standalone, and is book #4 in the Love At First Sight series, Green Valley World, Penny Reid Book Universe.
Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Absolutely adored this second chance romance.
"The last time I saw her, I told her I'd love her for the rest of my life, whether she was in it or not. And I walked away all the same."
Hunter Buchanan is back in Green Valley after twelve long years away. He has a temporary job at the local school for the summer, and is shocked to find out that one of his new charges is the little brother of the love of his life, Iris Black. The girl who broke his heart when she told him to leave.
"If he knew just how easily he'd be able to consume my life and my head and my heart, I had a feeling that he'd be relentless in his pursuit of me."
Iris has a lot on her plate and when Hunter comes back to town, he's a complication she didn't plan for. It's clear as day that twelve years away and a divorce under his belt has not lessened the Buchanan family curse he carries. Just as clear, she's just as much in love with him and she was back then. However, fears, insecurities and another unpleasant complication threatens to destroy her second chance at happily ever after.
"There was only place I wanted to go. Inside. Inside her. The woman I wanted, had waited for, and would love for the rest of my f*cking life."
Gah! Hunter was downright gorgeous! I loved every single thing about him. His endless love, his patience, his quiet understanding - he was a beautiful man inside and out. My heart hurt for the years he'd been away from the girl he loved irrevocably. Iris was a mess of emotions. She had a lot to contend with, but the incredibly chemistry and connection between Hunter and her was impossible to ignore. Even more so, the love that burned bright between them made it a crime to turn away from. They were in sync from the moment they met again and super hot together. I thoroughly enjoyed all the meddling by well-meaning friends and family, the banter and unerring support of the Buchanan clan, and spunky little Theo. Loved this story hard!

Baking Me Crazy
Excerpt from Worth the Wait
"I'm not your teacher," I said. "Right now, I'm just the guy who's supposed to make sure you don't have to go back to fourth grade. And that means honesty from both of us. And trust." I stood from the bench and held out my hand again. "You can trust me, Theo. But only make a deal with me right now if I can trust you the same way."
It never occurred to me, as a teacher and then later as an administrator, to talk to kids like they didn't have the same struggles as adults. They understood stress and fear and anxiety, albeit on a different scale, with different language behind it.
That scale changed as you grew up. Your responsibilities took on a different face, and you knew how to label those struggles. But to them—at their age—the responsibilities still felt like the whole world was pressing down on their shoulders. It didn't help if the adults in their life pretended otherwise.
So I knew I'd won something big when Theo Rossman stuck his skinny arm out toward me.
He gave me a firm handshake, his cheeks turning pink when I returned it.
"You sound like Iris," he said quietly.
My heart skipped unsteadily in my chest at his use of that name.
"Who's Iris?" I asked calmly. So very, very calmly. I'd only met one person in Green Valley with that name. And as far as I knew, she'd never come back. Not that anyone had told me, at least.
"My sister. I live with her." He tucked his hand back in his pocket, his face softening as he answered. His love for her, even if it wasn't my Iris, was immediately clear.
Behind my ribs, I felt a hot squeeze of pressure while my mind absolutely fucking raced.
"I knew an Iris once." I watched his face as I said it. "She'd probably be about thirty-two now."
His eyes narrowed, mental calculations evident in his face. "I think that's how old my sister is."
My breathing was choppy, my lungs struggling to pull in enough oxygen. "The Iris I knew ... her last name wasn't Rossman."
He kicked at a stick, so blissfully unaware that all my insides were jolting with unchecked pulses of electricity at the mere thought of it being her.
"Yeah, she's my half-sister. She had a different dad, so she has a different last name."
"What's your sister's last name?" I asked, fighting the urge to grab him by the shoulders and shake the truth from his mouth.
At the sound of a car, Theo's attention was pulled to the parking lot. In an instant, he transformed. Wide smile and happy, bright eyes as he waved at the driver of a beat-up-looking SUV. "That's her. Iris Black."
I swiped a hand over my face and tried to check my breathing.
Check my pulse.
My ability to stay fucking conscious.
This was it. All the sleepless nights I'd wondered if I'd ever see her again. Wondered how I'd ever walked away from her, why I believed her when she said she didn't have room for us in her life. If respecting her choice would damn me to a life that would always feel a little empty. Where every day held a slight edge of grief, something that might have worn down over the years but could still damage me if I caught it in the right way.
The last time I saw Iris Black, she wept as she told me to leave. That she couldn't—wouldn't—make room in her life for some great big destined romance. That she couldn't—wouldn't—believe that it was true.
The last time I saw her, I told her I'd love her for the rest of my life, whether she was in it or not. And I walked away all the same.
And there it was.
A gentle snap, a whisper-soft snick of something sliding back into place underneath my ribs. The shift of something that had been out of place since the last time I saw her. The realization came as quick as a thunderbolt and just as powerful. As I slowly turned toward the parking lot and she stepped out of the car, I knew this was the reason I'd come back to Green Valley.
It was her.
The one I'd loved since the moment I saw her.
Who I hadn't seen in twelve years.
The one staring at me like she'd just seen a ghost.
About Karla Sorensen
Karla Sorensen has been an avid reader her entire life, preferring stories with a happily-ever-after over just about any other kind. And considering she has an entire line item in her budget for books, she realized it might just be cheaper to write her own stories. It doesn’t take much to keep her happy…a book, a really big glass of wine, and at least thirty minutes of complete silence every day. She still keeps her toes in the world of health care marketing, where she made her living pre-babies. Now she stays home, writing and mommy-ing full time (this translates to almost every day being a ‘pajama day’ at the Sorensen household…don’t judge). She lives in West Michigan with her husband, two exceptionally adorable sons and big, shaggy rescue dog.

Blurb:
There’s something special about first love. It feels right; it looks right. It’s perfect in every way, until it isn’t.
Grayson Hale — the hot nerd, my first love. He was an enigma. Both mysteriously complicated and beautifully broken. The vacant look in his eyes reminded me of my own, almost as if our misery called to one another.
Colton Bennett — the sarcastic playboy, my second chance. He was a perfect facade. Rich, devastatingly beautiful…and everything that I should have stayed away from. His obsession led to my carefully laid plans crumbling at my feet.
And me? I was the fallen princess. I had given up on finding my soulmate a long time ago, but now they are both in my life. I’m torn between my truth and my lies — but I have to make a choice.
The thing about loving two men is that you know it will always end...
Grayson was my tragedy.
Colton was my heartbreak.
