RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Killing Booth by Lani Lynn Vale

 

Title: Killing Booth
Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Series: Welcome to the Circus #6
Release Date: 27 February 2024

Every single thing you want is going to require you to be uncomfortable.

Those words had been shared with her by the one man she didn’t think she could take a chance on. She just didn’t know that he was right, or that he was going to be the one making her uncomfortable.

Nash Wilder Christopherson was the world’s golden boy.

For fifteen years, she watched Nash race from the safety of her phone. Every single race, PR event, ESPN interview—she was there for it. He was the one thing that kept her sane while having to live the life her father forced her to.

That was all he’d ever be to her, though. A face on the other side of the screen.

Until he showed up at her apartment complex, carried her sister down hundreds and hundreds of stairs during a fire, and changed her opinion of him.

Nash Christopherson was Mean. With a capital M. And he couldn’t stand her.

***

He thought he had everything under control. Then he met her.

Nash knew from the moment he saw Zip waiting in her apartment, looking panicked, that she was going to damage him. She was going to pull him in, chew him up, and spit him out.

What he didn’t know was just how much damage he could take.

Nearly a year passed as he tried and failed to stay away.

A full year of her smiles, her playful jabs, her teasing, her eyes on him.

Then he got news that changed his life, and she finally took matters into her own hands, forcing herself into his life and pretty much giving him everything he ever wanted.

Everything was great, until it wasn’t. Life smacked him hard, and when the dust settled, she was gone. The only sign that she was ever there was the cracked and bleeding heart, half beating inside his chest, that yearned to hold her one more time.

Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Another fab read from this author with her usual penchant for throwing unexpected plot twists into the storyline!

"She had this animal magnetism to her that drew you in like a moth to a flame."

Zip and Nash were inevitable. Even when life threw the humdinger of curveballs, and even when Nash tried to fight fate, these two were meant to be, even though Zip was certainly a handful! They were funny, hot, and heartbreaking. Loved them!

BLURB:

She needs me, because she needs money.

I don’t need her. Just her complete submission…

Maybell Jacobs is the Wallflower, quiet, shy, socially awkward and hell-bent on hiding even from herself, that is until a chance encounter takes place between us. Instantly she hates me and for good reason. I'm a walking-red-flag. Filthy rich jock, short tempered, and violent. I can have anyone and anything I want.. except her.

Little does she know her disgust, anger, and hate for me fuels my obsession to own her, completely in every single way.

Maybell resists, predictably... but her fight only makes her more desirable and I have plans that will lead her right into my lap and never want to leave.

When she joins the sinful tradition put on by the elite of the town, the Hunt, I’m shocked. The pretty little thing has no idea how much danger she’s in if she decides to become my prey.

Sweet, innocent, and fragile like a flower. I'll have to be careful or risk breaking her.

Because I’m the ultimate predator and when I play there are no rules.

I don’t chase. I capture.

And I like to own my bait.

★ Tropes include: secret society, college, touch her and die, CNC & chasing bait fantasy ★

Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Oooof! What a fab read! Dying for the conclusion.

"I found myself a prize, and I plan to claim her. I can already taste her."

Scholarship student Maybel Jacobs AKA Bel likes to go unnoticed. If she's not studying, she's tutoring. However, she has a good heart. A heart that gets her noticed by Andrew AKA Drew Marshall - rich, gorgeous, popular quarterback. A golden boy hiding a dark personality. Drew is jaded and always looking for the perfect prey. What he finds in Bel is pretty much perfection, but she rebuffs him at every turn. Let the hunt begin!

"I crave him. The deep, dark, depraved part of him speaks to that same darkness hidden inside me."

This story was addictive reading. There was a lot of push-and-pull between Bel and Drew. Drew was like an unstoppable juggernaut ploughing through Bel's life but, man, gotta feel sorry for that guy, too. He had a truly awful father and he was pretty much stuck between a rock and hard place. I really liked Bel - she was resourceful and determined. I liked her fight. I can't wait for the next book as this one ended on a doozy of a cliffhanger!

 

About JL Beck:

JL. Beck writes steamy romance that’s unapologetic, meaning it makes no apologies for the way it rips you open and makes you crave more. Her heroes are alphas who take what they want, and she pairs them with heroines that bring them to their knees.

She loves writing about darkness, passion, suspense, and of course, steam.

Leaving her readers gasping and asking what the hell just happened is only one of her many tricks.

Her books range from morally grey to dark and spicey but always end with a happily ever after. She loves to write across numerous tropes, but her favorite is enemies to lovers.

She started her writing career in the summer of 2014 and hasn’t stopped since. She lives in Wisconsin and is a mom to two, a wife, and likes to act as a literary agent part-time.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Aldo by Melanie Moreland

Aldo Ricci
Right hand to Roman Costas.
Enforcer. Loyal.

Until she walks into his life.
Violet Nelson
Unexpected. Alluring. Off-limits.
But he can't stay away.
The last thing he expected from her was the one thing he'd never sought.
Redemption.

A thrilling romance duet from New York Times Bestselling author Melanie Moreland

Caroline's Review

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Loved Aldo and Vi! 😍

This was a fab read - full of humour, tension, and hotness!

"We stared at each other. There was no disguising the heat between us. It was a living, breathing thing."

Violet Nelson came to Niagara Falls looking for a fresh start. She's beautiful, direct, and a little bit sassy. Aldo Ricci is not relationship material and is content with random encounters. The moment he meets Vi, he knows in his gut that she's different. He tries to keep his distance but the temptation proves too much.

"The urge to tell her my heart hadn't really beat until she came into my life was strong."

I loved Violet! I loved that after everything she'd been through, she was still chirpy and positive. She had a great work ethic, too. She was independent and determined to make her own way, but I also liked that she accepted things graciously, too. Aldo made my heart race. He was protective and possessive without being overbearing. I thoroughly enjoyed following these two (they were seriously hot together!) as their relationship evolved from one night into forever.

She's learned happily ever afters, even bumpy ones, are all in how you tell the story.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Samphire Shores by Annie Dyer

Title: SAMPHIRE SHORES
Author: Annie Dyer
Series: Puffin Bay #4
Release Date: February 9

I could always ask my roommate for her advice – but then, I’d prefer to extract my own teeth.

I wasn’t expecting my temporary housemate to be Freya. My housemate was meant to be a lot taller, bald and male – not a wispy fairy-like creature with a thing for incense and crystals.

Freya loved meditating. I preferred to code.

Freya adored people. I thought they should be online only, except for special occasions.

Freya was always smiling. I rationed my smiles for birthdays only.

But Freya was only smiling on the outside. My irritating, meditating, meddling, temporary housemate would do anything for anyone, but never herself. Those smiles concealed what was going on beneath, something I first saw when she thought I wasn’t looking, then she let me see inside a little more.

I liked what I saw, although I pretended not to. She thought she had to be perfect. I thought she was perfect already.

Maybe Freya wasn’t my opposite. Maybe she was the piece that fitted in perfectly to complete my future, the one her tarot cards told me was complicated.

I just need to code myself into hers: I want to be the man who makes her smile.

Forever.

Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Loved this story! This author’s characters always feel like old friends. They are authentic and real.

"Roe was socially awkward, but in a way that made women - and probably some men - want to be the one to tame him."

When Rowan AKA Roe Holland moves temporarily into a friend's house, he doesn't expect to be sharing Freya Kahan. He thought he'd have the house to himself, and she thought she was going to be sharing with another woman. Things don't get off to a great start, but as long as they stay out of each other's way, it should be fine. However, little by little, they infiltrate each other's lives and, before long, there's no denying their mutual attraction, but neither are looking for anything serious. It's just a housemates-with-benefits thing until Rowan moves out. Until it isn't.

"I thought you were some delicate fairy....I'm beginning to think you're a siren instead."

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Loved grumpy Rowan who was a total marshmallow underneath it all. He was caring and thoughtful and one of life's fixers, and also adorable in his cluelessness when it came to love. Freya was well-named with her lotions and potions. She was skittish due to her recent past but I loved the relationship, trust and support that grew between her and Rowan. The two of them together were gorgeous and hot!

"I was a goner. I could accept that. I just needed to find a way to show her that I was everything she needed me to be."

I just love the people and community of Puffin Bay, and I can't wait to revisit in the next book.

Breacher.

Navy SEAL.

Mercenary.

Being a breacher on the Teams wasn’t a job, it was my drug of choice. Detonating charges, the blast waves going through me, I lived for the rush of tactical explosive breaching. As long as I kept my brothers safe and didn’t eat a piece of frag, I never looked past my next mission… until I screwed up.

Miscalculating a blast zone, I took a hit. Then I was benched from active duty, told I’d taken one too many subconcussive blows, and forced into medical retirement.

Except the Navy wasn’t the only home for an explosives expert. Alpha Elite Security took me in, and I got to keep my addiction—right until a mysterious redhead walked into my blast zone and suddenly, I needed a new fix.

Code name: Kilo.
Mission: Detonate.

EXCERPT:

The elevator stopped on the twenty-sixth floor of the fifty-two-story hotel, and the doors opened.

I didn’t look at Alpha.

I didn’t need to.

We were both staring at the redhead as she barely glanced up and stepped onto the elevator.

Now I knew why the agent wanted to meet at the Four Seasons in Manhattan.

The target’s mistress. In the flesh.

I recalled that one line of intel I’d read.

Artist, depleted bank account, no recent address, born with dual citizenship, third acquired.

The elevator doors closed, and I did what that agent was incapable of.

I got real intel.

The smooth sheet of red hair was recently brushed. Her four-inch heels that were nothing more than a couple straps of thin leather were hurting her feet as she shifted from one foot to the other. The beige-colored dress, tight over her ass, was designer. The brand-name bag on her shoulder was more carry-all than purse, and she was fucking nervous.

Starving artists didn’t wear designer.

They also didn’t have perfect posture, smell like expensive perfume and look like they’d just walked off the runway of a fashion show.

This woman was well-bred.

Too well-bred to be mixed up with an arms dealer.

The doors opened. The noise of the lobby hit, and she slipped out, heading toward the restaurant.

I glanced at Alpha. We didn’t need to speak. My gaze quickly cut to the redhead. His chin tipped toward the opposite direction.

In a coordinated move we’d done countless times, we flanked out.

Alpha went right.

I moved left.

Heading away from the front entrance of the hotel, striding deeper into the crowd, my gaze was locked on her.

Everyone’s gaze was locked on her.

The crowd parted. Men stared. Women glared.

She looked past every one of them.

Head held high, back straight, shoulders proud, her hips and that sheet of silk hair swayed with every step in those high heels.

I closed the distance and hit her six.

Then I scanned the lobby one more time before I made my move.

She reached for the glass door of the restaurant.

I reached around her.

Covering her hand with mine, caging her in, I leaned down to her ear and issued an order. “Remember my voice.”

She flinched, her lush lips parted with a sharp inhale, and she lifted her head.

Amber eyes met mine in the reflection of the glass, and time fucking stopped.

Then she hit me with a soft, sexy voice. “Pardon?”

“You heard me.” Pulling the door open, I scanned the patrons in the restaurant before giving her the push she needed to start moving. “Walk inside.”

Slow, as if she was afraid to look, she started to glance over her shoulder.

I was already gone.
