Author: J.A. Huss
Series: American Vampires, #1
Publication date: February 28th 2023

The Devil craves beauty. Even in himself.
The vampire will make magnificent promises and I will say yes.
The man I give my heart to will steal my soul.

Syrsee
My grandma gave me these words of wisdom just before she died.
Then she told me to run.
Because if the old witch is dying, then he needs a new one.
And that’s me.
This is my curse.
I am the vampire’s power.
I am the vampire’s strength.
I am the vampire’s food.
And he is very, very hungry.

Ryet
I hate him, but I crave him.
I want to be rid of him, but I also want him next to me.
I want to feed on him and sometimes I dream about him feeding on me.
It feels like a trick. Like abuse.
Like Stockholm syndrome.
But it’s not. It’s just… the blood.
I am the vampire’s scion.
I am the vampire’s slave.
I am the vampire’s future.
And he will never let me go.

Paul
I am the vampire.
Once you make a deal with me, it’s done.
There’s no going back.
Once I bite my lip—
Once I bare my teeth—
Once I let it drip—
He’s mine.
She’s mine.
And together we are blood lovers.

Blood Lovers is a dark, seductive journey into a world where the blood runs black, the dreams are purple, and the demons aren’t just dangerous, they’re beautiful. Masterfully told by New York Times bestselling author, JA Huss—it’s a book that will change the lore forever.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Princess of Hawthorne Prep by Jennifer Sucevic

 



Title: Princess of Hawthorne Prep 
Author: Jennifer Sucevic
Release Date: 10 February 2023



BLURB:


Betrayal. Blackmail. Revenge.

Will there ever be a time when those three words don't rule my life?

Welcome to the world of Hawthorne Prep. A seemingly idyllic school where ivy clings to the thick stone walls and a wrought iron gate keeps out the townies who can’t afford to foot the hefty price tag.

Except…I’m one of those townies.

I’m here on scholarship and don’t belong.

At least, that’s the way I’d always felt before Austin came along and blew my world apart. He’s the boy I secretly longed for but never thought could be mine. Against the odds, we managed to overcome the obstacles standing in our way in order to find our happily ever after. I’d assumed escaping my ex would be the hard part.

I was wrong.

Oh so wrong.

Just when I thought we were safe and could move on with our lives, everything gets turned upside down, morphing into a twisted new reality. One that makes what happened earlier look like child’s play.

Vengeance like never before consumes him. This time, he’ll make sure I shatter into a thousand jagged pieces.

Ones that can never be put back together again.




Princess of Hawthorne Prep is book two in a duet and not a standalone novel. Prince of Hawthorne Prep should be read before this book in order to fully enjoy the story. The completed duet is a standalone story with a HEA within the Hawthorne Prep series. You do not need to read King of Hawthorne Prep or Queen of Hawthorne Prep to enjoy this duet.


Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟


Oooof! What a fantastic, angst-filled conclusion to Delilah and Austin's story.

"There is just him. And me. He's all I'm cognizant of."

I was dreading starting this conclusion this duet because of the cliffhanger from the first book. However, I was sucked right in and felt all the angst, desperation, and raw sexiness of the story as Delilah and Austin battled hard through the quagmire of lies, deception, and misunderstanding to get to their HEA. My stomach was roiling with apprehension and my heart was leaping with joy and swoons, as my feelings went up and down right along with the characters' emotions. The connection between Delilah and Austin was electric, compelling and irrevocable! There was no question that they would find their happy ending because how could they not? And, Jasper was such a nasty piece of work and the relief I felt when he was dealt with was probably as much as Delilah's! πŸ˜…

"She's like the sun, and all I want to do is revolve around her brilliance."

This story was jammed pack with all the feels and drama and was a fantastic conclusion to the duet. I can't wait for Duke and Everly's story!

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Madden by Brooke O'Brien

 




Title: Madden
Series: A Rebels Havoc #4
Author: Brooke O'Brien
Genre: Rock Star Romance
Release Date: February 10, 2023


BLURB

Madden Cole is considered a rock 'n' roll god, and all the women want him. Except for me.

After working my butt off as a journalist for years, I’ve heard the rumors about him and his band and have read all about their dirty scandals in the headlines.

When I land a job as a writer for Limelight magazine, I'll stop at nothing to make a good impression. Even if it means agreeing to a sit-down interview with the bad boys of A Rebels Havoc.

They’re making a name for themselves by soaring to the top of the charts with multiplatinum records and sold-out tours.

Madden is cold and closed-off, but the more I get to know him, the more he starts to open up to me. As hard as I’ve tried to resist wanting him, when he turns on his sweet-talking charm, all the walls I've built around me crumble.

They say what goes up must come down, and the band is forced to face the downside of fame. Rumors, lies, and blackmail threaten Madden's life and the career he and the guys have worked so hard to build.

He doesn't know about the secret I've been keeping.

And I fear when he finds out the truth, it could destroy everything.

Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟


I loved this story!

"Something about her has me going crazy. I can't stop thinking about her, imagining every way I can have her in my bed and at my mercy."

Madden Cole doesn't trust easily. He always thought he'd be the first of the band to settle down but, over the years as they grew more famous, that just didn't happen. From the moment he meets reporter, Brielle Silvers, he wants her, even though she caught him in a compromising situation. She's under his skin and all he wants to do is prove that the connection between them is real and could be something more.

"I hate how I'm attracted to Madden almost as much as I dislike him."

Brielle is not who she says she is. She doesn't trust easily either, nor is she impressed with Madden, even if he is undeniably attractive. However, over a period of time he wins her over, but what happens when all their truths come out?

This was a gorgeous, sexy AF read! I thrilled at the chemistry between Madden and Brielle. I loved that they quickly came to matter so much to each other, but Madden was a dummy when he found out Brielle's secret. He should have known better as her actions spoke louder than her unsaid words! Humour, sexiness, drama, and a little bit of angst. Loved it!

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Wild Ever After by Rebecca Jenshak

 

Wild Ever After by Rebecca Jenshak is now live!

An opposites attract, marriage of convenience, hockey romance from USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Jenshak.

I’m going to marry her.

Are we dating? No.

Was she engaged to someone else yesterday? Yes.

It’s not real. It’s to save her job after her fiancΓ© dumped her days before their wedding.

But it’s good press for me, which my agent will love.

I just signed a seven-year contract with the Wildcats, maybe my final one, and I have to start thinking about life after hockey.

Did I mention she’s my coach’s daughter’s best friend?

She’s driven, fun, and the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen.

Too bad I’m not supposed to fall for my wife.


Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟

This was an enjoyable read full of sexual tension, humour, sweetness, and a little bit of angst.

"If I didn't know better, I'd think your new husband is smitten. The way he looked at you all night is going to sell a lot of magazines."

When career-driven Jade finds herself without a groom for what feels like the wedding of her career i.e. her much publicised wedding that she's been documenting for the bridal magazine that she works for, Declan Sato steps into the breach. What's in it for him? He knows what it's like to crave financial security, so he's happy to help Jade out. However, there's no denying the attraction between them, and when Declan keeps showing her how wonderful he is, can Jade trust in what they have considering they started out as a lie?

"The way her face lights up steals the breath from my lungs. I'm a total goner for my wife."

I absolutely adored Declan! He was a complete sweetheart. He was so caring and thoughtful, gorgeous and giving. He was the ultimate book boyfriend! 😍 Jade drove me slightly crazy with her stubbornness and, honestly, sometimes I didn't think she made sense to herself! She was brilliant at getting in her own way. They both brought something to their relationship. He'd always preferred to be in the background of things, but she coaxed him out of himself and into the limelight a bit more. In turn, he showed her that love could last and promises could be kept. He showed her that she could lean on him and he'd never let down. They were sexy, super sweet, and adorable in their awkwardness around each other as they battled their attraction, and then finally gave in and worked their way to their HEA.

REVIEW: Tiger Lily, Part One: The Companion by AmΓ©lie S. Duncan





Title: Tiger Lily Part One
Author: AmΓ©lie S. Duncan




Blurb:


Lily SalomΓ© is a beautiful and driven associate, a rising star on the fast track to success.

Then her boss gives her the most challenging assignment of her career: Convince mega-successful business mogul Jonas Crane to sign with their publishing company.

Easier said than done... Jonas is rich, handsome, and he doesn’t return phone calls. Forget about securing a meeting… He’s just not interested.

But when the billionaire’s path crosses with the stunning and seductive Lily, his cold heart begins to melt…

Instead of a business contract, he offers her a far more personal counter-offer. Jonas is a man who gets what he wants… and he wants Lily to be his personal companion in New York City.

No commitment, no attachment… It’s a liaison Lily knows she should refuse.

But the dark and handsome Jonas has a charm that’s hard to resist…

Lily swore she would do whatever it takes to land Jonas as a client. But in a battle of business and seduction, can she beat him at his own delicious game?


Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟


I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

"All I knew was that the connection had me wanting him in ways I knew I shouldn't."

When Lily SalomΓ© is tasked with winning over Jonas Crane for the rights to publish his book, the last thing she expects it to find herself accepting a different kind of proposal from him. To be his companion whenever he's in town, but the lines between companionship and relationship are blurred, as Lily struggles to keep things defined.

"I need to see, touch, and taste every inch of you. And I want you to want me to do that."

This was such an engaging read. I loved the chemistry between Lily and Jonas. They were fire together! Sensual, erotic, and all-consuming. Jonas was commanding but kind. I loved his desire for Lily and his patience and care for her. I loved that he wanted to make her life easier and look after her. I thrilled at the fact that Lily completely enchanted him. The drama between Lily and her ex, Declan, added to what we learn about Lily's psyche and her past relationship experience. Gosh, that Declan was a nasty piece of work! He'd beaten her down psychologically so badly that her self-esteem was pretty fragile, but I loved how Jonas made her feel beautiful. My heart hurt for her loneliness and the fact she could count the number of friends she had on one hand. I couldn't put this book down and looking to read the next book ASAP!

COVER REVEAL: Sexy Silver Fox Anniversary Edition Hardbacks by LB Dunbar

 


πŸ’•SPECIAL EDITION COVER REVEALπŸ’•


Celebrate the five year anniversary of AFTER CARE by USA Today bestselling author LB Dunbar, and the wonderful books that follow, with these gorgeous Sexy Silver Fox special edition hardbacks!










About After Care

When a sexy silver fox meets a breast cancer survivor on vacation, love might be just what the doctor ordered.

Cancer free. Were there any sweeter words? Grateful for this second chance, I was ready to live, and the first celebratory step was a trip to Hawaii with my grown children. Two weeks to reconnect, reboot, and refresh. I hadn’t planned on the awakening adventure of meeting him—Tommy Carrigan.

Not Tom. Not Thomas. But Tommy, even in his mid-forties. His salt and pepper hair gave his age away, with the slightly longer locks curling at his neck in shimmery silver and black satin. My mouth dried when he looked in my direction. My cheeks heated. He wasn’t a young man, but all-male. His tight T-shirt showed off the sexiness of an older man—barrel chest, firm abs, confidence—leaving not much to the imagination. But my imagination ran rampant, as did my heart.

Falling in love with a former rock star might not have been on the doctor’s prescription pad, but this late in life, I wasn’t passing up the unexpected.

Only, what happens after the vacation ends?

+ + +

From L.B. Dunbar comes a romantic comedy containing a sexy silver fox, a breast cancer survivor, lust at first yoga position, a rock band, a Hawaiian holiday, swoon-worthy bedroom time, and a second chance at love (over 40).
