New Release Review: Sawyer by Jessica Peterson

 

Sawyer by Jessica Peterson is now live! 

Dirty dancing leads to a chance at forever in this sizzling single parent, found family, small town romance by Jessica Peterson.

As a recently divorced single mom, I have zero interest in flirting with guys while on a rare girls’ weekend away with my sisters. I just want to have fun, celebrate my new job, and listen to live music at a honky tonk.

But when I literally stumble into the most gorgeous guy ever on the dance floor, those plans go up in smoke. Growing up on the barrel racing circuit, I’m not immune to the charms of a cowboy. But this particular one is hot as hell: Sawyer’s got a mustache, some sexy tattoos, and a very filthy mouth.

Needless to say, we end up naked in his swanky hotel room. It’s the best sex of my life. And the way Sawyer treats me like a queen? Let’s just say a girl could get addicted to that kind of adoration. 

Good thing he’ll always be just a one night stand I can look back on with a smile. I’m rebuilding our life from scratch, and I need to focus on my three-year-old daughter and the dream job I just landed.

Imagine my surprise, then, when I move to Hartsville and run into a tattooed cowboy with an endearing daughter of his own. Now Sawyer wants more than the occasional playdates between our girls. But the closer we become, the more determined this sexy single dad is to keep me forever. 

As much as I am falling for Sawyer, I’m terrified. I’ve been down this road before with my ex, and I wonder if I can trust this cowboy. Will he rope the moon for me? Or is my heart destined to be trampled all over again?

My review; 5 stars!

Ava and Sawyer's story was one I just couldn't put down- I was hooked from the start! The Lucky River Ranch series has been so good, and Sawyer may be my favorite. I loved how they both had 3 year old little girls and how their scorching one night stand turns into being unexpected neighbors. Situations in the books seem real and relatable and I am always here for a book with no unnecessary drama- no third act breakup!

New Release Review: Bridesmaid by Chance by Meghan Quinn

Bridesmaid by Chance by Meghan Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Goodness this was a hoot! Author Meghan Quinn always treats us with hilarity and puts her characters in the craziest situations and Bridesmaid by Chance was a delight. I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed it so much- Narrators Vanessa Edwin and Jason Clarke performed in duet style and it was SO GOOD! This series has been fun, but I think Hudson and Sloane's story my just be my favorite of the three.

Cover Reveal: The Situation by Adriana Locke

 

The Situation by Adriana Locke 

Model Cover: Kari March 

Model Photographer: Michelle Lancaster, @lanefotograf

Special Edition Cover: Books and Moods 

Preorder: https://geni.us/SituationAmazon

Synopsis:

Someone should tell Tate Brewer that one-night stands aren’t supposed to come with a sequel.

I’ve learned the hard way—don’t be reckless with anything, least of all my heart. But after one too many lemon drop martinis, saying yes to a much younger, devastatingly smooth stranger for one wild night seems like the perfect way to forget my brutal divorce. I even gave him a fake name. What could go wrong?

Lots. Because a few weeks later, he’s no longer a stranger. He’s suddenly the Chief Marketing Officer at my new job.

Tate Brewer isn’t the type of man to let a good thing slip away, and he’s determined to prove our night together was on the beginning. But the faster I build walls, the quicker he tears them down—along with my self-control. Stolen glances turn into late-night “work” meetings, and before I know it, I’m tangled in a web of office politics, scorching tension, and a man who refuses to let me walk away.

Will I push him away before he gets too close … or finally surrender to a situation that feels too good, and dangerously real?

Tropes: 

• Reverse age gap 

• Workplace romance 

• Best friend’s stepmom 

• Forced Proximity

• Cinnamon Roll Hero 

• He falls first 

• One night stand 

New Audiobook Release Review: The Merger by Adriana Locke

 

The Merger by Adriana Locke is now live in audio!

Narrated by: Jack Calihan & Angelina Rocca 

Crushes are harmless—unless they involve your best friend’s grumpy, off-limits brother. 

Gannon Brewer is the epitome of my type. He’s at least ten years older than me, emotionally unavailable, and highly disagreeable—a walking red flag in a tailored suit. But do I listen to that? No. In fact, when his office plants start dying, I convince myself that I can ignore the pheromones and save the philodendron.

Now I’m in his office every week, dodging sinful smirks and heated stares, reminding myself to reach for the watering can—not him. But one “ivy incident” changes everything. Suddenly, we’re sneaking around, indulging in a steamy, forbidden fling that’s supposed to be nothing more than (a lot of) fun.

After all, he swears he’ll never fall in love. I assure him that I only want one thing, and it’s not his heart. But the closer we get, the more lines we blur, and the harder it becomes to keep our promises …

Especially when the secret I’m keeping threatens to shatter everything.

My review: 5 stars!

I just finished the audiobook for The Merger and it was fantastic! Author Adriana Locke's Brewer Family series has been so good and I was so excited to dive into grumpy Gannon's story. Sunshine Carys was such a great match for him and I absolutely loved them together. The was tension, witty banter, and just the right amount of steam. The narration by Angelina Rocca and Jack Calihan was phenomenal and I enjoyed it so much.

New Release Review: The Girlfriend Zone by Lauren Blakely

 I had one date with Leighton McBride before I found out she’s the coach’s daughter. And now the only woman I want is the one woman I can’t have.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely, comes the next standalone hockey romance in her Love and Hockey series, THE GIRLFRIEND ZONE! This sexy, coach’s daughter, one who got away, age gap, forbidden hockey romance brings all the feels, heat and spice! THE GIRLFRIEND ZONE is now available in all formats including the special edition hardcover and free to read in Kindle Unlimited. One-click your copy today!

✦ Amazon ➜ https://blkly.pub/TheGirlfriendZoneAMZ
✦ Audible ➜ https://blkly.pub/TGZAudible
Samantha Brentmoor & Jason Clarke narrate in duet!

About THE GIRLFRIEND ZONE:

In my defense, I had no idea the tattooed, glasses-wearing, soulful hottie I spent one perfect day—and one unforgettable night—with was a hockey star on my father’s team.

And Miles didn’t know I was the coach’s daughter.

That’s the point of a “no-work-talk” date.

But now? He's as forbidden to me as I am to him.

When I land a new gig as the team photographer, we vow to keep it professional. We mostly succeed…except for that time after a game when he couldn’t keep his talented hands off me. But I swear, it won’t happen again.

Too much is at stake—I can’t risk my heart or my father’s team.

But when I end up living at Miles’s place to care for his pack of rescue pups, the lines blur fast. Late nights turn into stolen moments and I discover there’s more to him than I ever imagined—a man who’s genuine, thoughtful, and irresistibly real.

He looks at me like he can’t believe his luck. Touches me like he never wants to let go. And listens to my hopes and fears.

My heart’s getting dangerously attached. But if I follow it… am I putting everyone’s dreams on the line?

My review: 5 stars!

This was a DELIGHT! I loved how Leighton and Miles met and how Grandma Birdie was a part of it. Miles was such a great guy, just totally dreamy. Leighton's backstory was interesting and unique and Miles has such a big caring heart. Seeing them step back and create a solid friendship made for a slow burn, but I found the payoff totally worth the wait. I always enjoy author Lauren Blakey's trademark witty banter and tender romance, and this book even had Chihuahuas!
