Reveal for Gaming the System Series by Brenna Aubrey

 

Gaming The System Series by Brenna Aubrey

Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Synopsis book 1:

“This is one of 13 romance novels that should be on every woman’s bucket list.”–Bustle.com

I had the craziest idea when I decided to auction my virginity online. I have reasons for it. Good reasons. My mom’s hospital bills, for one. My medical school tuition, for another. By day, I’m a student and popular gaming blogger, but my dream is to become a doctor. This auction could free me from a crushing pile of debt and give me the cash I need to make my dreams a reality.

And honestly, I’m also looking forward to cashing in that troublesome V-card. Win, win.

My rules are set in stone: One night, then no further contact with the auction winner. Enter Adam Drake, the brilliant gaming company CEO and multimillionaire. He won my auction. He’s young, driven, and so damn sexy. It’s frightening how attracted I am – though I’d never admit it. And it’s clear I’ll need to protect my heart.

But Adam is used to making the rules and before I can catch it, he’s found a loophole. Every stipulation I made to protect myself is getting tossed by the wayside.
I can’t help but wonder… Is he playing me? Or is he playing for keeps?

Reading order is as follows:

Girl Geek
At Any Price
At Any Turn
At Any Moment
For The Win
For The One
Worth Any Cost
It Was Always You
For The Taking

Release Blitz for Matchmaking a Roommate by Angela Casella & Denise Grover Swank

 

Matchmaking a Roommate by Denise Grover Swank & Angela Casella is now live! 

He's her next makeover project. She's his next mistake.

Ivy
I'm Ivy Anders, popular romance novelist and small-town success story. Or so they say. I tell myself I'm only back in my hometown because my father had a heart attack, but that's not the full story.

I can't go home. And the longer I stay, the less I want to. I'm drawn in by my part-time job at Ziggy brewery, which I took to research for my next book, and by the mystery of Lou, my father's stuffy lodger, a temporary transplant from New York.

Normally, I wouldn't look twice at someone like Lou. He's a rules guy, and I've never met a rule I didn't want to break just for the fun of it. But it's obvious he needs an intervention to avoid becoming an old man at thirty-four, and I am going to make that happen.

Lou
I came to Highland Hills to hide. It's not every day a man loses his professional integrity, his fiancée, and his pet fish all in the same week.

The last thing I want is for smoking hot Ivy Anders to get it into her head that I should be her project. But she has, and it's hard as hell to say no to her. Believe me, I've tried.

The more time we spend together, the more I realize that I have another problem on my hands: Ivy's everything I'm not—young and wild and free—and she's all I can think about.

Book Review for The Mother Next Door by Leah Mercer

 

The Mother Next Door by Leah Mercer

Format

255 pages, Kindle Edition

Publication

February 27, 2023 by Bookouture

 

 

Taken from Goodreads:  I glance over at Lou’s house as I pull onto my drive, surprised that it is still in darkness. Lou and the kids should have been home from school long ago. I should be preparing a delicious meal for my children as they tell me about their day. But Lou’s car is nowhere to be seen…

The night is drawing in and Lou has still not returned. I try not to panic, but deep down I know something is wrong. Lou is the most dependable friend. Our children are at the same school. We always help each other out, and she cares for my two like only a mother can.

As a storm rages outside and local news reports tell everyone to stay indoors, a feeling of deep dread starts to swell. Then the call comes. The police have found Lou’s car, with my children’s schoolbags still inside along with Lou’s phone. But they are nowhere to be seen.

Clutching my husband’s hands, willing our children to be found safe and sound, I try to silence the voice inside my head. I’ve not been honest. I’m being punished for what happened all those years ago.

And then I get Lou’s message and I know that if I want to see my children again, I need to tell the truth to everyone I love.

What I don’t yet know is that Lou has been keeping her own dark secret. And once the storm passes, nothing will ever be the same again.

 

My Thoughts:  What a thriller!!  Leah Mercer had me hooked from the first chapter.  I start a book with the hopes off figuring out the twist before the author reveals it.  I had ideas with this one, I had HUGE hopes that I had it figured out…I did not have it figured out. I am not upset about that because oh what a twist.

 

The characters in this book are all relatable.   They are moms, they have mom lives, and mom dramas.  I could relate to each of them and could have been living their lives.   The fact that there was more to each character than I first glance just added to the mystery of where Lou and their children were. 

 

The Mother Next Door is a phenomenal thriller.   I could not put it down.

Meet Leah Mercer (Taken from her website):  Leah can't remember a time when she didn't love writing. From creating fake newspapers to writing letters to the editor, scribbling something was always on the agenda. Even the rejections she received after completing her first novel at age 13 didn't dent her enthusiasm.

 

So it makes sense, then, that she pursued a career in anything but writing. Public relations, teaching, recruitment, editing medical journals -- even a stint painting houses -- until she finally succumbed once more to the lure of the blank page. 

 

Whe she's not being jumped on by her young son or burning supper while thinking of plotlines, Leah can be found furiously tapping away on her laptop, trying not to check Twitter or Facebook. 

 

Leah also writes romantic comedies under the name Talli Roland.
