RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Weight of Regret by K.K. Allen

 


Release Date: February 24 


"𝘜𝘯𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯𝘵 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘐𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘥𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘈 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘣 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧."

 

Anderson Bexley was the love of my life… or so I thought.

 

For years, I convinced myself that one day he would see me as more than the bubbly activities director at his family’s campground. 

Sure, he was ten years older.

Deeply tortured.

And far too devoted to the family business to make time for his own happiness.

But none of that mattered. Especially during that one blissful night when he was all mine.

 

I thought our forever had finally begun, but he broke my heart instead.

 

A year later, I’m moving on.

In a new city.

At a new job.

With a new man. 

Add in a promotion that lands me my first big account, and things can’t possibly get better.

 

Until I hear my first client is none other than Anderson Bexley...

 

Now, I’m heading back to a place I had once called home.

Back to Camp Bexley.

Back to him. 

 

Only this time, I’m determined to walk away on my own terms… with my heart intact.


Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

A beautiful, emotional, steamy read.

"I'd let her leave when I only ever wanted her to stay."

Anderson Bexley believes that everyone leaves. His pessimistic view leads to Hope Davis leaving him and his campground business for new adventures and city life. Hope didn't want to leave but she needed to move on because she believed that Anderson would love her back. One year later and she's unexpectedly back at Camp Bexley for her job. Anderson is full of regret at pushing Hope away and he's determined to keep her this time around. However, things are a little bit complicated for Hope.

"You've been engrained in me since the day we met. This is my attempt to engrain myself in you. Mind, body, soul."

This was a beautiful book and a fab intro to the rest of the Bexley family novels still to come. Anderson is one tortured soul. A tragedy from the past and subsequent fallout has him believing that nobody stays. He's left managing his family's campground business, fully hoping that all his family will one day return. I really felt for him and his issues. I was thrilled by his sexy alpha side and dirty mouth! He and Hope were so in sync and had an undeniable rapport. Hope had grown in confidence during her year away, but her love for Anderson never died, even though she tried desperately to move on. I loved how accomplished she'd become, but the connection and desire between her and Anderson was palpable. These two were super-hot together! Absolutely loved this story!

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Callous Player by R.C. Stephens

 



Callous Player by R.C. Stephens is now live!



Poppy
 
Hotshot playboy and devilishly handsome hockey winger, Declan McAvoy is a big man on campus and I'm just the nerdy little sister of his teammate... or I was until I let it slip I had never been kissed.
 
With the NHL draft hanging over his head and my brother at his side—both on and off the ice, I'm afraid I'll be stuck in the friend-zone forever. The way I feel about Declan and his stormy grey eyes is anything but friendly.
 
He has secrets to keep and I have a story to write...
If we cross the line, complicated doesn't even begin to cover it.
 
He might be known as a callous player, but he's one player I'm willing to gamble on.

 
Declan
 
This is my year to draft to the NHL, and nothing can stand in my way... especially not a complication like kissing my teammate's little sister.
 
Poppy is beautiful, brilliant—and off limits.
 
For the first time in my life, I've found someone worth the risk, but she deserves better than keeping secrets and sneaking around behind her brother's back.
 
On the ice I have it all figured out, but when it comes to her... I'm all out of plays.
 
The stakes are higher than ever... and my heart isn't the only thing on the line.

She has an article to finish, and I have a pro-career to focus on.
 
Falling for Poppy could mean game over for both of us, but that won't stop me from wanting to make her mine.


Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟


This was a great heartfelt read.

"I think of Poppy. The way her sweet lips tasted. I want more. More of her sweetness and her openness, her honesty."

When Declan McAvoy, in a moment of inebriation, whispers a secret into a beautiful stranger's ear, he never expects to see her again. When Poppy is assigned by the college paper to write Declan's story, he is horrified to realise that she's the stranger and could blow his private life wide open. Things are further complicated by their mutual attraction and the fact that Poppy McGuire is his best friend's younger sister.

This was a great story. I thoroughly enjoyed Declan's need to be with Poppy, even though he knew that he was risking his friendship with her brother, and the equilibrium of the hockey team. I loved that Poppy brought light, perspective, and hope into his life. She was caring, trustworthy and only had the best of intentions. Her brother, Ryse, was overbearingly protective of her, but she definitely knew her own mind and could look after herself. I loved how the she finally found her own tribe and how she dealt with her roommate. This story was sexy, sweet, and heartfelt.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Binding Contract by Amelia Wilde

 


Binding Contract by Amelia Wilde is now live!

Mason Hill's empire is up in flames.

He built Phoenix Enterprises from the ground up. Now it's under siege. He protected his family from the moment his parents died. Now their family tragedy is being dragged through the press. His plans for revenge have brought him to his knees.

Charlotte Van Kempt faces heartbreaking betrayal.

She fought to keep her family's company afloat after devastating financial losses, even using her own body as collateral. In repayment, her parents ruined her to regain control of Van Kempt Industries.

Mason and Charlotte are trapped in the gilded cage of his penthouse.

The media storm is outside, but the true danger is inside a man tortured by the past.

He's haunted by grief for his parents. There's no way for him to move forward until he comes to terms with his own survival. Until he accepts that he's found a woman worth living for.

Binding Contract is book three in the Wealth trilogy by USA Today bestselling author Amelia Wilde.


Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟


I loved this final instalment of Mason and Charlotte's story.

"There's no contract more binding than being in love. I'll pay any price to keep it."

This story picks up directly after the public exposure of Mason and Charlotte's contract and how they deal with the fallout. During the course of the trilogy, Charlotte has grown incredibly from the loyal innocent into a strong-willed temptress who will not be cowed. I loved her integrity, her empathy, and her innate strength. Mason claimed my heart. He'd been so stoic and responsible for so much of his life, and I loved how much he needed Charlotte for himself and his own happiness. His pain was visceral but I loved how his joy in having Charlotte in his life eased his suffering. His declaration of love made my heart ache, and I just wanted to fling my arms around him and hold him tight. This was a such a fab, emotional and hot AF trilogy, and I'm so excited for the next story about the Hill family.

💄ABOUT THE BOOK 🏈


If I were on fire, she’d break out the marshmallows.

It’s not that we don’t like each other, more like hate with the fury of a thousand suns. But it wasn’t always that way.

I still remember how her lips tasted. How they felt pressed against mine. How I wanted more.

How I still crave her. Our disastrous night together ended with her storming out, me wondering if I’d ever be able to show my face on campus again and us as bitter enemies.

When a campus competition is announced to find the most in love couple, she’s the last person I thought I’d turn to for help. But the prize could change both our lives. An internship for her and a chance to finally connect with my father. It’s too hard to resist. Just like her heated glares and tempting curves.

To win, we’ve got to prove to everyone we’re a couple. Head over heels, can’t keep our hands off each other in love. Fake the hell out of it for our chance at glory.

Maybe we’re a little too good at selling it to the whole campus because the lines haven’t just been blurred, they've gone up in flames.

Can I convince her I want us to be together for real and keep the prize? Or will I lose them both?

Book 2 in the new Fulton Rivals series - St Francis University campus world!

#PreOrderHere

Her assignment is to not fall in love with him…

Zeke Brooksbank is in need of a wake-up call. One that shakes him out of the grump he’s permanently in and turns him into a reasonable human being.

I’m not staying at his country residence to tame the beast. I’m meant to be cataloguing his art collection, not fangirling over his own paintings, or becoming attached to his little daughter.

A three-month assignment and I’ll be back in London. Job done. I can try to tolerate him for that length of time. Should be easy.

Shouldn’t it?

Only the grumpy, temperamental artist turns out to be the sort of man I thought only existed in my fantasies, and that wake-up call – I could be just the person to give it.


The Atelier Assignment is a grumpy billionaire single dad, enemies-to-lovers romance.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Ex's & Oh's by Hazel Parker

 


Ex's & Oh's by Hazel Parker is now live!


The best man is actually the worst.

My best friend is getting married, and I'd be remiss as the maid of honor and a successful event planner if I didn't make sure she has the best wedding ever.

My biggest hurdle?

The best man. 

He's my worst nightmare all wrapped up in a suit—an old ex's best friend and an arrogant playboy who thinks he's God's gift to womankind.

The problem is, he's not entirely wrong. As a professional football player, he has plenty of experience getting women. He's sexy, flirty, and charming—when he wants to be. And also aggravating and irritating and in my business far too much of the time.

Our attraction is—unfortunately—undeniable. I know giving into him is a bad idea, but he convinces me anyway. Just once, to get it out of our systems.

Except when we end up stranded together on a remote island, once might not be enough ...

And maybe he's not the worst man after all.
 
Ex's & Oh's is a steaming hot enemies to lovers romance featuring a straight-laced events planner who knows exactly what she wants and the playboy athlete who shouldn't want her but does anyway. Lust, laughs, and an HEA guaranteed!


Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟


3.5 - 4 stars

"The more I watch her laugh, the more I listen to her speak, the more I want to start over with her."

In high school, Jenna Hall and Brett Evans were enemies. She was Noah's girl and Brett was his best friend. The final straw was when Noah ditched Jenna to follow Brett to college on the other side of the country. Ten years later, Jenna is maid of honour (and the wedding planner) at her bestie's wedding and Brett is the best man. Sparks fly!

Loved the blurb for this book, as I'm a sucker for enemies-to-lovers, but I would have enjoyed a longer book so the relationship between Jenna and Brett had a bit more room to grow. She yearned for a loving committed relationship and he was a renowned player. It felt a little bit like they went from zero to sixty in a few short days. Don't get me wrong, I adore an insta-love story, but this wasn't supposed to be quite like that. They had history and baggage as enemies, and all that changed in a matter of days when they meet again for the first time in ten years. However, I enjoyed their dynamic, I enjoyed the drama that developed in the story, and I loved the HEA.
