Release Blitz for Loving Violet by Maria Esther

 



Loving Violet by Maria Esther is now live!



Who even believes in love at first sight anymore? Certainly not me.

At thirty-five, I thought I'd never find love and was perfectly fine with it. My life was fulfilling--running my own business and enjoying casual flings whenever I felt like it. But the day I went to pick up my favorite coffee and saw her behind the counter, everything changed.

I didn't know her name, her story, or if she was married. All I knew was that I had to make her mine. Later I found out that she comes with a lot of baggage. A single mom starting over in my small town, she wasn't ready for a new relationship. She also carried scars from her previous marriage, making her wary of trusting anyone again.

Yet, when have I ever backed down from something I truly wanted?

Violet is everything I never thought I would want. She is gorgeous, a devoted mother to her boy, and everyone in town loves her. I'm sure I am not the man she thought she would fall in love with, but I might finally get the chance to say the words I've never dreamed of... I want to spend the rest of my life Loving Violet.

Audiobook Review for 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.

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. Check out the excerpt below and 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 Thoughts:  I listened to this book and enjoyed hearing every word.   Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke are the perfect narrators for Miles and Leighton.  I could feel the sparks between them as I listened to the book.    The angst they felt at the thought of not being together tugged at my heart.   I wanted them to be happy and together.

Hockey romance is my current favorite trope.  I love a sexy hockey player and an off-limits woman.   Lauren Blakely (author) did a wonderful job of making these characters come to life with their flaws, their feelings, and their want to be together but also not cross any lines.  I enjoyed seeing them figure out their lives, while being respectful to each other and to the coach.  I could not wait to see what the coaches reaction would be when they finally came together.

READ THE EXCERPT:

Miles

I breathe out hard, giving in to the lust that grips me, the want I feel for her…my coach’s daughter.

For a few seconds, I freeze over those words—coach’s daughter. 

Don’t go there again. Get it together. Stop f*&king thinking of her.

But the dick is sometimes stronger than the will.

I ignore that voice because it doesn’t matter what I do when I’m home alone. It’s what I do when I’m with her that counts. I haven’t crossed the line again. And baggage or no baggage, we’re not going to be a thing. But her admission that she looks at the pictures too? It’s what I wanted. It’s what I needed. It’s also all I can have of her.

So what’s the harm in giving in tonight?

Release Blitz for Love Me Fierce by Dakota Davies

 



Love Me Fierce by Dakota Davies is now live!



An all new suspense romance from USA Today bestselling author Dakota Davies featuring a woman on the run and the small town cop who breaks all the rules to protect her.

It’s been a year since a serial killer put my small town on the map. A year of chasing my tail in an investigation of dead ends and false leads while the families wait for justice. When the killer strikes again, I’m drawn into a desperate race against time to stop him once and for all.

It's hard enough balancing being a single dad with running a high-stakes murder case without adding the distraction that is Vivian Walsh. I only meant to help her get to safety during a freak blizzard, but the temptation to find out more about her won’t let me rest. Maybe it’s her lightning-bolt smile and how beautifully she cares for her adorable son, or maybe it’s her quiet strength. Or maybe I’m just drawn to problems I can’t fix. Because it quickly becomes clear that Vivian is keeping secrets, the kind I know better than to tangle with.

But secrets have a way of breaking to the surface, and just as my investigation takes a shocking turn, bringing me closer to the truth, Vivian’s past returns, threatening not just her safety, but the fragile trust we’re building.

Protecting her will mean breaking all the rules. Will we survive unscathed?

Love Me Fierce is a standalone small town romantic suspense novel and book 4 in the unforgettable Love Me Dangerous series.
