Release Blitz for Sunlight by Devney Perry

 

Sunlight by Devney Perry is now live! 

From USA Today bestselling author Devney Perry comes a sweeping Western romance about undeniable attraction, unforeseen circumstances, and seemingly unbeatable odds.

My first day in Montana, I got into a tug-of-war over a grocery store shopping cart. The most handsome man I’d ever seen broke up the scuffle before he asked me on a date. I was seconds away from accepting but then he told me his name.

As an owner of the Haven River Ranch, Jax Haven wasn’t my boss. But he wasn’t not my boss either.

Obviously, my only option was to turn him down, scurry away, then pretend like he was a stranger on my first day of work. And obviously, I could never, ever admit that he was my secret crush.

For as hard as I work at my job, I work twice as hard to pretend Jax doesn’t exist. I don’t let myself think about his dazzling eyes or charming smile. I refuse to acknowledge how good he looks in a pair of faded Wrangler jeans. And as tempting as he is in a cowboy hat, Jax is a distraction I cannot afford.

Everything was going according to plan until the annual holiday party. Until I drank one too many flutes of champagne and let him sweep me off my feet. After a night in his bed, there was no more ignoring Jax Haven. Not when I’m pregnant with his baby.

Release Blitz for Mr. Heartbreaker by Piper Rayne

 

Mr. Heartbreaker by Piper Rayne is now live! 

I made a deal with my brother a long time ago to never date his teammates.

Technically, Rowan Landry, the hot as hell center for the Chicago Falcons, is no longer my brother’s teammate. Or his best friend. Their college days are long behind them, and they barely talk now.

Also, I’m not dating him—we’re just sleeping together. There’s a difference.

Except there’s not a lot of sleeping going on, and neither one of us wants to stop what we’re doing.

It’s all fun and games until my brother is traded to the Falcons, because Rowan doesn’t know I’m the new goalie’s little sister. Oops.

Book Review for Love You Too by Stacy Travis

 

LOVE YOU TOO by Stacy Travis

Published: October 15th

Genre:  A Small-Town, Accidental Pregnancy Hockey Romance

 

Tropes:

🩷 Small-Town Swoon

🩷 Hottie Professional Hockey Star

🩷 Surprise Pregnancy

🩷 UnrequitedLlove - He falls first and falls hard

🩷 Big Meddling Family

🩷 Banter, Heat, and a HEA

 

Blurb: 

You know what they say—when things start to come together, life throws you a curveball.

 Well, in this case…a hockey puck.

 Ten years ago, we were college sweethearts. Until Dominick (Ren) Renaldi decided the grass was greener playing pro hockey in Canada. 

 I moved on—made my mark as a designer. I run two restaurants and an inn at our family winery, Buttercup Hill. 

 Nothing is missing. Nothing at all. 

 Then Ren struts into my small town, a reminder of a broken heart I locked in the past. 

 Okay, yes, this responsible, type A girl could really use a wild night of scorchin’ hot fun, and Ren, with his penetrating eyes and easy charm, is all too happy to deliver—grownup style.

 Imagine my surprise when I see a little pink plus sign a few weeks later.

 I’m not looking for love, especially with a guy who’s walked away once. And Ren’s serious about his career, so he will walk away. Besides, I’m not the kind of woman who traps a man with a surprise baby. 

 But when our shared history and a certain little growing bean brings us close again, I discover the real reason Ren left—and why he’s back. 

 I find myself starting to like my baby daddy and the man he became.

But what if I love him, too?

 

Love You Too is a steamy standalone hockey romance in the Buttercup Hill series, where the men are as hot as the wine country sun. It's packed with banter, swoon, and a HEA.

 

My Thoughts:  Steamy sexy hockey romance, perfect book for me!   I am so hooked on sports romance and especially hockey romance.  I love that this was a second-chance romance.  The characters had a true relationship in college and when they go in different directions, neither character can get over the other.   The coming back together is perfect, with the characters coming face-to-face with their history.

Love You Too is a quick and easy read.   There is no doubt there will be a HEA but getting there is all the fun.   The story has real feelings with tough conversations and decisions to be made. I appreciate the romance but I enjoyed the realness of the story too.  

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

Book Review for Who Loves You Best: A Novel by Marilyn Simon Rothstein

 Who Loves You Best: A Novel by Marilyn Simon Rothstein

Published:  October 15, 2024 by Lake Union Publishing

Taken from Goodreads:  A woman drops everything to spend more time with her grandchild, only to discover new truths about herself. A humorous, heartfelt, feel-good novel from the author of Crazy to Leave You.

For Jodi Wexler, a Florida doctor with a flourishing practice, only one thing’s missing: the chance to spend more time getting to know her eight-year-old granddaughter, Macallan.

When Jodi’s restauranteur daughter asks her to watch Macallan in the Berkshires while she takes care of some business out of town, Jodi can’t say yes fast enough. Neither Jodi’s podiatric patients nor her just-fired, suddenly retired husband can keep her away. But when Jodi arrives, she discovers she’s not the only grandma at Lisa’s house. Lisa’s mother-in-law, Di—a hard-nosed real estate agent—has moved into the house. What’s more, there’s Grannie Annie, the twenty-seven-year-old girlfriend of Lisa’s oddball father-in-law. They’re not the only surprises. Lisa’s marriage is faltering even as her new restaurant is taking off.

As the competition for Macallan’s attention among the three “grandmas” increases, Lisa drops a bomb about her life that changes everything. Under pressure, and determined to help her daughter, Jodi must choose her next step. Her decision surprises everyone—Jodi, most of all.

My Thoughts:  Jodi is a character that I appreciate.  I like that she grew up in a house where her mother took care of her husband.   She married and became a wife and then mother who took care of her family.   Her decisions were based on what her husband wanted and she went along with it.  As this book goes on, Jodi makes decisions for herself.   She still takes care of her family but she realizes that she can also take care of herself and not cause them harm. 

Three grandmas are a lot of grandmas.  That granddaughter is a lucky girl.   I felt like the competition between the grandmas is something that many grandparents feel.   Who spends more time, who loves her most, who gets the best gifts… Being a grandma is not a competition but in this book it is.   I enjoyed seeing it all play out.

The least likable character is Lisa, the daughter.  She is very selfish and not very nice to anyone in the book.   She does what she wants when she wants.   She expects everyone else to step up and handle what she does not want to.  

This book was a relaxing read for me.   There was family drama, but it was easy to read.   The characters were mostly relatable, and the story was funny and entertaining. 

Thank you Lake Union Publishing for a copy of the book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Release Blitz for Unspoken Promises by Sienna Judd

 

Unspoken Promises by Sienna Judd is now live!

Running a tech company that brings down the ugliest criminals makes trust impossible.

My focus is on keeping my family safe in our small town and protecting my life’s work.

That was easier before Ava came to live on our land. The spunky winner of our hacking contest isn’t who she says she is. But the more time I spend with her, the more I’m blinded by the sunshine in front of me.

Ava is talented, quirky and joyful. She's a pair of long lean legs stuffed into sexy Doc Martens, shaking her peachy backside around our land like it's the first time she's danced.

She’s a lot younger and my employee. She’s not my friend… or anything else. But her cute quips and natural brilliance have me spiraling out of control— right toward her.

When her secrets catch up with her, I know she’s not just hiding who she is; she’s running from it. The danger chasing her is worse than I imagined, and I’ll sacrifice it all to keep her safe.

But her past promises to destroy us both.

EXCERPT:

He smirked and walked over, wrapping his arms around me. “Why do I feel there’s no right answer here?”

My lips quirked. “Because you’re smart, but you never listen.”
He bent down and sniffed my neck. “I do listen to you, especially when you’re

making those sexy little whimpers while I’m–”
I put my hand over his mouth. “If you start with the dirty talk, we’ll never make it

to Ezra’s house for dinner.”

Book Review for The Guardian Games by Natasha S. Brown

 The Guardian Games by Natasha S. Brown 

Published:  October 10, 2024 

 

Taken from Goodreads:  Let the Games begin 
 
On the streets of East Haven, River Quinn is training tirelessly with her loyal friend, Ruthless, desperate to prevent Lysander's niece, Scarlett Hood, from winning the wealth and political influence awarded in the Guardian Games. When an unexpected knee injury jeopardizes River's ability to qualify, it risks her chances of blocking Lysander's play for power. If things couldn't get any worse, new details regarding her mother's death are revealed, and River sees red. 
 
Meanwhile, the handsome high side doctor, Addax Tate, keeps an annoyingly close eye on River and offers help. But for someone who relies on no one but herself, it's a lot to ask. River wants to trust him, but can you ever truly trust a highsider? 

 

My Thoughts:  This is book two of the series and they must be read in order.   Book two picks up exactly where book one left off.   I was pulled right back into River Quinn’s struggle to knock the highsiders off their pedestal.    

This book takes us to River Quinn being the Water Thief and part of the Guardian Games.  The Guardian Games have a Hunger Games feel, where everything is stacked against her but she has the people’s support since she is one of them.   There is danger at every turn, but River knows how to live in a dangerous world.    I loved seeing her strength come through, not just in her muscles but her in smarts and common sense.   

River Quinn and her friends are Robin Hood characters.   They are poor but are not willing to accept that they have to stay that way or be treated as lesser citizens.   They are willing to put themselves in danger to help others.   The trust they have in each other is not taken from granted and they know that it is hard earned.    

There is another book to come in this series and I cannot wait!   I am so hooked on the story and the characters.
