Release Blitz for Unexpected Proof by Dani Grimes

 



Unexpected Proof by Dani Grimes is now live!



Sutton Acker has had a terrible year. After her fiancé cheats on her and her grandmother passes away, she can't stop thinking about a love story her grandmother used to share about a Jewish woman living in Europe during World War II who unexpectedly fell in love with an American solider only to lose him just as suddenly. It's a story Sutton knows well, having seen her grandmother grieve this man for most of her life.


Despite being a high-powered, divorce attorney in New York City with little hope of finding true love, Sutton has always clung to her grandmother's story as proof that love does exist. But as the reality of finding true love feels more and more unlikely, Sutton decides to look up the soldier her grandmother spoke about. When she surprisingly finds out that he's alive and living in Boston, she arranges to work remotely for several weeks to go in search of proof that the love her grandmother told her about was real.


Adrian Harrison is still dealing with the fallout of his recent divorce from a woman he never should have married. Despite his sister's occasional meddling in his love life--or lack thereof--and his ex-wife's recent scheme, he's moved on and has a thriving business. His troublesome ex becomes the least of his problems when Sutton walks into his bar making demands and sending his heart racing with irritation.


Sutton isn't leaving Boston--or apparently, his bar--until she gets the proof she came to find. But maybe she'll find what she's looking for in the most unexpected of places.

Book Review for The Off Season by Kelly Simmons

 

The Off Season by Kelly Simmons

Published: October 1, 2024 by Moonlight Press


 Taken from Goodreads:  THE OFF SEASON explodes on the tranquil shores of the Chesapeake Bay. A headstrong thirteen-year-old girl insists her mother’s drowning was anything but an accident. She’s forced to tangle with the languid bay police department as well as the year-rounder adults and teens who might be complicit not just in her mother’s death, but a decades-old cold case. With echoes of GONE GIRL and STAND BY ME, it’s part crime, part coming of age about grief and longing.

 

My Thoughts:  A young girl investigates her mother’s drowning as the others have labeled it an accident.  I enjoyed this girls tenacity while worrying that at every turn she would find herself in harms way.  I held my breath as she found more clues, put more information together to make sense, and showed the police that the accident was not an accident.  I respected that the police officer saw that the girl was grieving and did not put her off from her task but gave her his ear to share her thoughts.

Kelly Simmons is not new to me, I enjoyed her past books and I enjoyed this one also.  She knows how to write a thriller with real characters.  The storyline has many twists and turns that will keep the reading turning pages with the need to know more.   I did find the ending a bit confusing and I am not sure I was able to follow it.   It could be tied up a bit neater. 

Thank you Kelly Simmons for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

Release Blitz for Until Then by Micalea Smeltzer

 




Until Then by Micalea Smeltzer is now live! 


I never thought I'd find myself craving the small-town life, but I've grown to hate L.A. and all that comes with it. When a brand deal goes south, I put my life in the City of Angels on hold to move to Parkerville, Maine temporarily. With my sister and assistant living there it seems like the most logical place to go. Until my assistant offers for me to move in with her dad.

Her very hot, rugged dad.

That may or may not hate me after I tried to hook my sister up with him, but she ended up dating his son instead.

Oops.

It was an honest mistake.

I fully expect Derrick to tell me to find another place to bum it, but by some miracle he agrees to let me stay in one of the empty rooms, as long as I do my share, and help keep the place clean and make some meals.

Easy enough, right?

Except I can't stop thinking about Derrick in ways a twenty-six-year-old woman definitely shouldn't be about her forty-four-year-old pseudo-landlord. Who can blame me when he likes walking around the house shirtless and in gray sweatpants?

I'm convinced the feelings are all one way, until I accidentally hear him moaning my name.

Book Review for How My Neighbor Stole Christmas by Meghan Quinn


How My Neighbor Stole Christmas by Meghan Quinn

Published:   October 15, 2024 by Bloom Books              

Genre:  Holiday Romance

Taken from Goodreads:  A new winter holiday, enemies-to-lovers romance, from the undeniably funny and always spicy, USA Today bestselling author, Meghan Quinn.

Living in a year around Christmas town has it's drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave--I mean house--keeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits.

And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determine to win.

Well guess what? Over my cold-hearted body.

There was no way I was going to let her win, not after the history we'd shared.

So despite my promise to myself of never participating in the sickening Christmas season, I entered the competition as well. That's right, I planned on beating Storee at her own game by pretending this grump’s heart grew three sizes this season.

And it was working until feelings between us started heating up.
We pretended to date.
We kissed.
And well, sparks flew from there.

Which led to one explosive night involving Christmas lights, the competition, and a ladder. Don't let me convince you who stole Christmas, I think you need to find out for yourself . . .

 

My Thoughts:  A Grinch Style Christmas story.  I enjoyed the narrator, liking the rhymes and the fun of the bantering.  I laughed  more than once while I read the observations of the narrator.

The rest of the story was equally fun with lots of sexy steamy scenes.  It is not your typical Christmas book.   The heat level is 5 alarm with so much spice!  The story revolves around a Christmas contest in a town that celebrates Christmas year round.  The competition between the two friends-to dislike-to like gets overly competitive just because they want to out do each other and not admit that they are attracted to each other.

The story was fun, sexy, and full of holiday cheer.   I have not read many of Lauren Blakely books but I will be looking for more. 

Thank you to the author for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

She points her shaky finger at me. “It is on, Connor. It is so on. Watch your back, because I’m coming

“It’s Cole,” I virtually bark. “And if anyone needs to watch their back, it’s you.”

“Ooo, awesome comeback.” She rolls her eyes. “See you around . . . Connor.” 

And then she takes off toward Cindy’s house. 

“I never should have walked you home,” I call out. 

“Trust me, it was more unpleasant for me. By the way, you have hot chocolate on your upper lip.”

Then she slips into her house while I quickly wipe at my mouth, most likely falling for her trick. 

Well . . . it’s official; she is enemy number one. This only makes me more determined to do everything

in my power to make sure she doesn’t earn the Christmas Kringle crown.
