RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: My Favorite Boss by Melanie Moreland

 

My Favorite Boss by Melanie Moreland is now live!

Get ready to laugh out loud in the office from New York Times bestselling author Melanie Moreland
My new boss--Alexander Bane
Aptly named since he's the bane of my existence.
Please isn't in his vocabulary.
He grunts, growls, and demands.
If only he didn't look so sexy when doing so.
If only his mouth weren't so addictive when kissing mine.
He's quickly becoming my favorite boss.
Which is wrong.

My new assistant is an unwelcomed distraction.
Snarky, witty, always smiling.
Constantly putting me in my place.
Making me second-guess my decisions.
I dislike it. Intensely.
Unless I'm kissing her.
Then Magnolia Myers becomes my favorite person.
Which I hate.

Two people working together, disliking each other.
Until they don't.
Then the fun begins.

HR has never been so entertained.

Author's note: For those on the lookout for a hero who's so charming when he's bossy that it makes you want to follow his orders just to keep him talking.

Caroline's Review

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Hilarious, adorable and deliciously spicy! Loved this book hard!

"I had never felt so alive. She was the woman I thought of constantly. I was becoming obsessed with her. I couldn't deny it. I wanted her."

Magnolia Myers was a positive ray of sunshine in Alexander Bane's barren life. From the moment they meet, she makes an impression on him. She's absolutely adorable and sassy. I loved their exchanges - they really cracked me up! Bane fought hard to keep his grumpiness and professionalism around her, and I loved the fact that she absolutely tickled him. Whatever he threw at her, she picked up and ran with it. She was indomitable! Once she started to really matter to him, I was thrilled at the way he looked out for her, protected her, and desired her. These two were fire!! She taught him how to laugh, how to live, and how to love. This was such a fabulous, addictive, funny read. Absolutely loved it!

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: The Boss + The Maid = Chemistry by Louise Bay

THE BOSS + THE MAID = CHEMISTRY
Louise Bay
Release Date: August 8

A brand new enemies to lovers age gap steamy standalone romance.

A grumpy, reclusive New York billionaire meets his match in the maid who makes his

bed (in more ways than one).

When an older guy with a dirty grin and an expensive suit flirts with me from the next

barstool, I don’t realize I’m about to have a one-night stand with the man I desperately want

to work for.

After a night that leaves my world (and body) shaken, I start my summer job housekeeping in

a five-star hotel even though I’m determined to kickstart my career in tech. As I dust and

polish the Park Suite, in walks Mr. Dirty Grin—now with an icy glare.

Why is the man from last night who was so charming (and good with his tongue) so furious

this morning? As I piece together the puzzle, I discover the guest in the Park Suite is none

other than Ben Fort, the reclusive tech mogul I want to work for.

Ben has kept his identity hidden for years and he wants to know how I figured him out

overnight.

As he questions me, I don’t waste time telling him he’s a (super-hot) grump who needs to

lighten up—and give me a job.

I don’t want to sleep my way to the top, and he doesn’t trust me. But neither of us can resist

the sizzling sparks that fly every time I fluff his pillows.

Caroline's Review

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This was an effervescent, spicy read.

"Efa has complicated my brain."

Efa Cadogan and Bennett Fordham were amazing together. Efa was fun, genuine, and bright. She was very mature for her age and stood up for herself and what she believed in. I loved her confidence and sense of humour. Bennett had major trust issues, but I liked how Efa gradually broke down his walls and made him realise that she was always a safe place to land. She kept him on his toes and I adored how he just rolled with it. By the end, he really proved what a wonderful, thoughtful man he was.

"It's been just weeks but I'm beginning to realize I've been forever altered by her."

This author delivered yet another fabulous, easy read, with very hot moments and engaging dialogue. I thoroughly enjoyed it! And, bonus? It was awesome to see some of the Coves again!

RELEASE BLITZ & GIVEAWAY: The Echo on the Water by J.A. Huss

 

The Echo on the Water

JA Huss

Publication date: July 25th 2024

Genres: Adult, Romance, Suspense

Rosie Harlow is desperately seeking… well, she’s not sure. A romance would be nice but so would a dinner conversation with her pre-teen son. Too bad her boy is way too busy growing up to pay his mama any attention. Rosie never meant to swear off men and she’s not frigid—you don’t become a single mom at fifteen by being frigid—but this dry spell of hers has gotten out of hand and something must be done.

Enter Amon Parrish. Back in high school Amon was voted most likely to get caught with his pants down. He was a trouble maker. The quintessential bad boy. But twelve years away from home, traveling the world and working with Collin Creed doing super-secret (and somewhat illegal) things, changed all that. These days Amon Parrish is a brand-new, stand-up man.

And, to Rosie’s surprise, a romantic man as well. Because he has decided to court her. And this is not just any ordinary courting, either. It’s… well, a page ripped right out of a bodice ripper.

But everyone in Disciple, West Virginia has a secret in their past.

Even the cheerful, perpetually optimistic, and seemingly innocent, Rosie Harlow.

The Echo on the Water is a swooning plate of small-town fiction served up with a side of spice. It honors the themes of friends to lovers, found family, and is filled with bigger-than-life, morally-grey characters against a backdrop of the weird and wonderful.

INSIDE THE PAGES YOU WILL FIND:

Small Town Secrets

Charming Alpha Male

Friends to Lovers

Touch Her and Die

Morally Grey

Found Family

THIS BOOK WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE AT NOOK, KOBO, AND APPLE ON PRE-ORDER and will release two days early at those distributors. It will go into Kindle Unlimited on the stated release day of July 25, 2024.

EXCERPT:

ROSIE

When the show is over everyone gets up to leave, as do I, but Amon stays right where he is. Obviously waiting for me.

I make my way to the end of the row and stand before him, his eyes dancin’ a little. “Amon.”

“Rosie.”

“Are you here for me?”

“I am.”

“Oh. I see. Well. What can I do for you?”

“I asked you to go bowling last night.”

“You did.”

“You turned me down.”

“That’s right.”

“Well, I was wondering if it was just bad timing or if it was me.”

I let out a breath. “Why are you wondering that?”

“Why?” His eyebrows shoot up. “Because if it was bad timing, I’m gonna ask you again. But if you don’t like me, I’ll move on.”

“That’s very forthcoming of you.”

“Thanks. I like to be forthcoming.”

He’s talking with a straight face, but I’m smiling pretty big right now. “Well, can I think about this a little bit?”

“Can you define ‘little bit?’”

I smile bigger. “You’re flirtin’ with me.”

“Why does that surprise you? You flirt with everyone.”

“Well, yeah. But that’s me. You’re… you.”

“What are you saying? I’m not flirty?”

“Are you flirty?”

He smiles now. But he narrows his eyes too. “Should I ask again? Or should I move on?”

“If I say move on, will you truly move on? Or will you try again?”

His smile grows. “Try again.”

“Then I’m gonna tell you to move on.”

He nods, still smiling, then leans forward. “By the way, I read your little paper. Not the one you gave me, but the one from last week. My sisters had a copy.”

“Oh, right. They do the Revival marketing and I’m part of the marketing now.”

“I like it.”

“Which part? The whole idea of it? Or just the vibe?”

“The writing.”

I nearly giggle. “You like the ads?”

“Yeah. I’m kinda jealous of Robust and Hearty because I like his taste in women. And I was thinking that the woman he described sounded a little bit like you.”

I nearly guffaw. I manage to hold it in, but my cheeks get hot and I know I’m probably turning bright red. “You fancy a…” I pause to think back on what kind of partner Robust and Hearty was looking for. “A courageous and resilient woman who is ready to embrace the thrills and trials of a life less ordinary?”

Amon nods. “I do.”

“Well.” I pull myself together. “I’m sorry to disappoint you, Amon Parrish. But I am not looking for a man at the moment. I am quite happy with my life as it is.”

He nods at me. Pretends to take off an imaginary hat and bows a little. And even though he’s not in costume—he’s wearing his usual outfit of black tactical pants and black t-shirt—I picture him in one. “Well, then,” he says. “I will leave you to your day. But I’ll see ya around, Rosie Harlow.”

I nod back. “See ya around, Amon Parrish.”

He turns and walks out, not even looking back. But I’m not unhappy about that because he already told me that he’s gonna try again.

I am being courted.

By Amon Parrish, of all people.

RELEASE BLITZ & GIVEAWAY: The Rumble and the Glory by J.A. Huss

The Rumble and the Glory
JA Huss
Publication date: June 27th 2024
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance, Suspense

Deep in the hills of West Virginia, three small towns have found a way to flourish in the face of extreme poverty. Disciple runs a side-show tent revival that brings in millions of dollars a year. Bishop flaunts traditional ways in the vein of Colonial Williamsburg, luring weary city people to the slow-living lifestyle. And Revenant offers them an experience of sin filled with tattooed bikers and live-music dive bars.

It’s a sacred trinity that worships the almighty dollar and everyone plays their role like a well-trained Broadway actor. But these hills have secrets, and so do the people.

Collin Creed is a killer, but he’s Lowyn’s killer. And after a twelve-year separation, she wants him back. To the untrained eye, Lowyn is the good girl to Collin’s bad-boy reputation. But to those in the know, she’s just like everyone else up in these hills—not as wholesome and pure as she looks.

*****

The Rumble and the Glory is a cinematic and spicy second-chance romance wrapped up in a cloak of mystery and suspense. It honors the themes of found family, redemptive anti-hero, and is filled with bigger-than-life, morally-grey characters against a backdrop of deceit and deception.

TROPES:

Morally Grey

Enemies to Lovers

BLOG TOUR & REVIEW: The Best Friend and the Shortstop by Ginger Scott

 

BLURB:

I’ve had a crush on my best friend, Alex Mendoza, for years, and I was finally going to tell him how I felt. But instead, I got cold feet. And now he thinks I’m interested in his teammate—my ex.

Of course, being the good friend he is, Alex has offered to make my ex jealous. What’s wrong with a little play flirting?

Well, for starters, I’m not playing.

Alex’s mom and mine are best friends, soul sisters forged together by growing up in the same small town. They say they didn’t plan it, but the fact that Alex and I were born two weeks apart has always felt very much part of their plan. Our birthday parties were always together. First days of school were the same. And when Alex got his own car, the passenger seat was literally labeled with my name—Nikki Thomas. Convenient since we were inseparable.

For most of my life, Alex has been like the big brother I never had. He’s always been my protector. And he’s always made me feel safe. But somewhere along the way, he started to make me feel other things too.

Now it’s his senior baseball season, and he has the talent to go pro. His dreams are all coming together. My life, on the other hand, is falling apart. I know Alex would support me if I told him my secrets. After all, that’s what best friends do. But maybe it’s my turn to be the protector. And if that means all I can have are a few pretend kisses, then perhaps that will have to be enough.

Unless it turns out Alex has been keeping secrets of his own.

Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Thoroughly enjoyed this story!

"I'm living a dream. Nikki has always been in a box, one I've built and kept tidy and been very careful not to mess up. Now there is no box. And what if that means she disappears?"

Nikki Thomas and Alex Mendoza have been best friends since the cradle. Although they love one another, Nikki has been IN love with Alex for a few years now, and has been teetering on the edge of confession many a time. Alex is going through some personal issues but, as always, Nikki is there for him. When life gets tougher, Nikki becomes the only thing that make sense.

"If our friendship dies because of this, I need to know it was worth it. That I had something so great, so rare and beautiful, in my hands and devoured it. Lived it. Breathed it."

These two were cute, sweet, and seriously sexy! I understood Alex's point of view that he'd rather have Nikki only as a friend if it meant he'd never lose her as his forever person, but I loved that he eventually took the risk and stepped over the line. I really enjoyed the dynamic they had - that they could call each other out when they needed to - but also that they were so connected and understood each other so well. Such a wonderful, heartwarming couple.

Author's Note: Join this found family in the final story set in the small town of Littleburn, Ontario, Canada. Where this group of blue-collar heroes learn to love fiercely the strong women in their lives. 

Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Loved this story! There was heat, heart and humour.

"She was complex. Alluring. Like a puzzle I needed to solve. I planned on doing so and enjoying every moment of it."

Dom Salvatore is completely taken with Cherry Gallagher from the moment he sees her. She's sassy and sexy with a side of sweet. Cherry loves being a mother to her grown up daughter, Hannah, but has pretty much given up on men. However, Dom is a like a ten-tonne truck of gorgeous, raw hotness! And, what a dirty mouth!

"Once you were in my heart, Cherry, it was full throttle."

I adored these two! Dom and his Cherry G were dynamite together. They clicked together so well and I loved the support they showed one another. Dom was heartbreaking with the emotional pain he carried around, but I loved how much hope the lawyer, Halton, gave him. The ending with his son brought tears to my eye. Loved seeing the crew again, too! This was a wonderful read!
