Intermediate Thermodynamics

Publication Date: October 4, 2017 

Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romantic Comedy

Read for FREE in KindleUnlimited: Amazon

Aerospace engineer Esther Abbott doesn’t believe in love, but she’s perfectly happy hating her screenwriter neighbor, Jonathan. Until she’s forced to make a devil’s bargain with him: if he distracts her best friend from a mouth-breather ex, Esther will be his science advisor for the sci-fi script he’s writing. Her patience is put to the test when it’s time to fulfill her end of the deal. But the more time she spends with her nemesis, the more hate turns into attraction—and attraction into something much deeper. As Esther’s carefully-constructed defenses start to crumble, will love be her undoing or her salvation? 

Intermediate Thermodynamics follows in the tradition of contemporary romantic comedy favorites like Penny Reid, Sally Thorne, and Jennifer Crusie. This sweet, enemies-to-lovers romance is the second in a series of standalone rom-coms featuring geeky heroines who work in STEM fields.

Caroline's Review

4.5 Stars

Thoroughly enjoyed this smart romance from a new-to-me author.

"Esther wasn't sure when her feelings had changed, but he didn't annoy her at all anymore."

When Esther makes a deal with her annoying neighbour, Jonathan, she never bargained on how her feelings for him would change. She goes from not being to stand him, to not being able to stand being away from him. 

"She should move. She shouldn't be sitting this close to him. The thing was, though...she didn't want to."

She doesn't believe in love and is not looking for a relationship, so her feelings absolutely scare the hell out of her.

"He wanted more from her than she could give. She could see it in his eyes. He was looking for a relationship. A girlfriend. That wasn't her."

And, worse, his feelings for her scare the hell out of her, too.

This was a fab, smart romance. Esther is pragmatic, honest to a fault, strident, incredibly clever, and doesn't suffer fools gladly. She's also somewhat emotionally stunted. I enjoyed watching her battling with her conscience, her feelings, and her attitude to life and love. 

"What's really going on is that you have feelings for me and you're scared."

Jonathan is an absolute sweetheart, somewhat vulnerable, and really knows and understands her - even when she doesn't quite understand herself.

This story was about a woman, whose barriers are stripped away, exposed to true emotion, overcoming her fears, and realising the reward once she's brave enough to take a leap of faith.

RELEASE BOOST: Muscle Memory by Stylo Fantôme

Title: Muscle Memory

Author: Stylo Fantôme

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: August 28, 2017

Blurb

Her lips, the way she feels, how she moves against me. Her voice when she laughs, her eyes when she cries. Her soul connected to mine, for better or for worse, for all eternity.

I don't remember.

A blank face. Unrecognizable. The darkness and impenetrable fog, day after day after day. Who am I? And for that matter, who is she?

I can't remember.

Two sides to the same coin – one wants to remember, and the other wants to stay forgotten. Which side will win? Can he trust his heart to bring him back to her? Or will she stay lost in the fog forever?

I might never remember.

Author Bio

Crazy woman from a remote location in Alaska (where the need for a creative mind is a necessity!), I have been writing since ... forever? Yeah, that sounds about right. I have been told that I remind people of Lucille Ball - I also see shades of Jennifer Saunders, and Denis Leary. So basically, I laugh a lot, I'm clumsy a lot, and I say the F-word A LOT.

I like dogs more than I like most people, and I don't trust anyone who doesn't drink. No, I do not live in an igloo, and no, the sun does not set for six months out of the year, there's your Alaska lesson for the day. I have mermaid hair - both a curse and a blessing - and most of the time I talk so fast, even I can't understand me.

Yeah. I think that about sums me up.

Genre: Adult Contemporary

Release Date: August 9, 2017

Blurb

One heinous tragedy changed my entire family forever. 

That morning, my world crumbled. I lost my parents. 

Now, I live by certain rules.

Don’t let anyone know what goes on inside your head.

Stay away from crowds. 

Never fall in love.

  

Though, that was until her. She has me questioning everything. 

It’s the haunted eyes. 

The sultry voice. 

The sweetness under her armor.

Everything about her captivates me. The surge of energy we create with one touch has me searching for her, even when there’s also something dark underneath her bright smile. 

Unable to resist the desire toward her, I break my rules giving her all of me while expecting all of her.

Caroline's Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Another amazing, deep story from one of my favourite authors.

So, let’s get the cover out of the way first. It’s my absolute favourite cover from this author, yet. I couldn’t stop looking at it when it was first revealed.

In terms of the story, I love how this author constantly challenges herself with her storylines. They are often intricate and emotionally challenging.

“Loving a woman like Willow Beesley is heaven and hell. She’s the beautiful fire I want to touch even when I know the blazing flames might destroy me.”

Hunter and Willow are two broken people, both scarred by traumatic and troubling childhoods.

“I’d rather have my heart broken than miss the chance to be with you.”

Willow is fiercely independent with a huge defensive wall around her heart. Hunter sees through to the core of her and wants to be the one she turns to in time of need. However, one scary episode has their fledgling relationship splintering, which is a catalyst to their individual journeys to self-help, self-acceptance and, ultimately, back to each other.

This story was sexy, heartbreaking, heart-melting, and incredibly moving. It had all the feels, and as much beauty as there was ugliness, as Hunter and Willow conquered their fears.

“Love makes us one. All of you in me, all of me in you. Everything you are is now fused with who I am.”

Willow is a hugely complex young woman and I feel that she had the biggest journey of the two, especially when she realises that her perception of her childhood and her family is not quite how they actually are. Hunter is a gorgeous soul. He’s looking for an abiding love, someone to take care of, someone to take care of him, in return. I adored his romantic gestures. I adored his tender care of her. I loved that he never gave up on her, even when it seemed like he had.

Again, as with this author’s other novels, family is a big theme. Family through friendship, as well as through blood.

Such a fantastic story and thoroughly recommend.

RELEASE BLITZ: The Wild by K.Webster

The Wild

by K. Webster 

Publication Date: August 7, 2017 

Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance, Taboo

Purchase: Amazon US | Amazon UK | Amazon CA | Amazon AU

I brought them to the wilderness because we couldn’t cope with our reality. The plan was to make a new life that didn’t include heartache. No people. No technology. No interference. Just us. A chance to piece together what was broken. But the wilderness is untamed and harsh. Brutal and unforgiving. It doesn’t give a damn about your feelings. Tragedy lives there too. No escaping the truths that won’t let you go. All you can do is survive where love, no matter how beastly, is the only thing you can truly count on. Confusing. Wrong. Twisted. Beautiful. Sick. Love is wild. And we’re going to set it free. Warning: The Wild is an extremely taboo story. Most will find that the themes in this book will make you incredibly uncomfortable. This book is only for the brave, the open-minded, and the ones who crave love in even the most dismal of situations. Extreme sexual themes and violence in certain scenes, which could trigger emotional distress, are found in this story. If you are sensitive to heavy taboo themes, then this story is not for you.
