Release Blitz for Are You Ready? by Kaylee Ryan

 

Are You Ready? by Kaylee Ryan is now live!

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you the continuation of the
stand-alone series surrounding five best friends who co-own a tattoo studio. "Are You
Ready?" is an age gap, single mom, found family, small-town romance.

Forrest
The moment I met Briar, I couldn't stay away. She's my sister's friend, but that didn't
stop me. Especially after her daughters stole twin pieces of me. 
I might have inked her flawless skin, but she's the one under mine. Something about
her draws me in, even when she pushes me away. 
Every time we're together, it feels like I'm home. I want to give her my heart, my time,
and my love--not just to her but to her daughters too. I'll do whatever it takes to prove
I'm the man they can depend on. 

Briar
I never thought I'd fall in love again, not after everything I've been through. Then Forrest
walked into my life, turning everything upside down. 
He's tough on the outside--with his tattoos and confidence--but underneath, he's
gentle, patient, and kind--especially with my girls. He shows he cares in small,
consistent ways, even letting the twins paint his nails, making them sparkle.
The fact that they adore him scares me, because it's not just my heart at risk if he
leaves. I love him more than I've let myself believe. But now, I'm ready to admit it--to
him and myself. The next time he asks me, I'll be ready.

Release Blitz for Wild Bliss by Lexi Blake

 

Wild Bliss by Lexi Blake is now live! 

Sabrina Leal moved to Bliss looking for a new start. She’s in charge of building a school system from scratch and is excited about the challenge. What she didn’t count on was the surliest bar owner she’s ever met. Sawyer Hathaway gets under her skin in the most annoying way. He’s arrogant and sometimes rude, and she can’t stop thinking about him. It’s easier to ignore him when it’s only Sawyer. But when she meets his best friend, Wyatt, he’s light to Sawyer’s darkness, and the combination calls to Sabrina in a way she might not be able to deny.

Sawyer likes things the way they are. Alone. No serious connections. Just him simmering in his own unresolved trauma. Like a real man should. But the new schoolteacher is making it hard. And the reappearance of Wyatt in his life isn’t helping. Years before, Sawyer had joined an outlaw MC when his brother had gotten in trouble. Wyatt had been a true friend, and when he needs a short-term place to stay, Sawyer can’t turn him out. Short term turns way longer, and the baddest man in Bliss has to admit it’s not terrible to have a friend. But there’s no way he’s getting involved with the sweetest thing he’s ever met.

Wyatt wants Sabrina the minute he sees her. He’s spent his whole life in the equivalent of a criminal, violent cult, and he wants some softness. He wants the white picket fence dream of Bliss. His best friend. Their wife. Throw in a super-cute rescue dog and a couple of kids and Wyatt would be in heaven. When his scheming gets all of them snowed in together, he knows he’s got his shot at making this work.

But the MC isn’t done with Wyatt or Sawyer, and Sabrina is exactly the bargaining chip they need…

Book Review for The Sunflower House by Adriana Allegri

 The Sunflower House by Adriana Allegri 

Published:  November 12, 2024 

Genre:  Historical Fiction, WWII 

 

Taken from Goodreads:  Family secrets come to light as a young woman fights to save herself, and others, in a Nazi-run baby factory—a real-life Handmaid's Tale—during World War II. 
 
In a sleepy German village, Allina Strauss’s life seems idyllic: she works at her uncle’s bookshop, makes strudel with her aunt, and spends weekends with her friends and fiancé. But it's 1939, Adolf Hitler is Chancellor, and Allina’s family hides a terrifying secret—her birth mother was Jewish, making her a Mischling. 
 
One fateful night after losing everyone she loves, Allina is forced into service as a nurse at a state-run baby factory called Hochland Home. There, she becomes both witness and participant to the horrors of Heinrich Himmler’s ruthless eugenics program. 
 
The Sunflower House is a meticulously-researched debut historical novel that uncovers the notorious Lebensborn Program of Nazi Germany. Women of “pure” blood stayed in Lebensborn homes for the sole purpose of perpetuating the Aryan population, giving birth to thousands of babies who were adopted out to “good” Nazi families. Allina must keep her Jewish identity a secret in order to survive, but when she discovers the neglect occurring within the home, she’s determined not only to save herself, but also the children in her care. 
 
A tale of one woman’s determination to resist and survive, The Sunflower House is also a love story. When Allina meets Karl, a high-ranking SS officer with secrets of his own, the two must decide how much they are willing to share with each other—and how much they can stand to risk as they join forces to save as many children as they can. The threads of this poignant and heartrending novel weave a tale of loss and love, friendship and betrayal, and the secrets we bury in order to save ourselves. 

My Thoughts:  The Sunflower House opened my eyes up to a new horror that Hitler had happening during WWII.  I had never heard the story of the babies given to good Nazi families, this story broke my heart.   It also showed me to have more faith in the good of the world.  Even during a war, the good in people shined through and there is a lot of good in the world no matter the time.   

Allina and Karl both have seen and been part of the horrors of WWII.   They have had to do things that in a non-war world they would never have done.  Together they managed to make a difference to children who would not have had a chance to live through the war.  Together they also were able to help each other heal and find a way to cope with what they have seen and done.     

I cannot believe that this is a debut book.   It will be at the top of my historical fiction of 2024 list.  This book is phenomenal and perfect for any historical fiction reader.  

 

Thank you St. Martin’s Press for  a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

Meet Adriana Allegri (taken from her website):  My mother read to me when I was in the womb. That’s likely why I was born loving books. I believe in the healing power of words and the long-lasting impact of a great read. 

As a first-generation American with parents who lived in Europe during World War II, I grew up on stories about how small acts of compassion and kindness saved lives. That theme shows up in everything I write, regardless of genre. 

I’ve had three great careers: The first in education, as a high school teacher and program administrator, the second as a writer/project manager for a leading data analytics company, and the third as an author. 2015 was my Big Risk Year, as I left my corporate job to concentrate on writing. The Sunflower House is the result — and I’m thrilled that it will be published by St. Martin’s Press in the fall of 2024. 

I completed a second book (Late Bloomers, Romantic Suspense) last year, and am currently working on a third (For Love of Ben, Women’s Fiction) and fourth (Child of Fire, Supernatural). 

I’m grateful to be repped by my amazing rock star of an agent, Lizz Nagle at Victress Literary. You can connect with Lizz on Twitter at @VictressLizz and @VictressLit. 

I spent fifteen years in the New York metro area but am happily relocated in Chandler, Arizona. I love the desert sun.  When not tapping away at the keyboard, you’ll find me cooking, painting, gardening, day-tripping, or cozying up with a favorite read. I’m also the proud mom to two ornery rescue cats, whose hooligan antics sometimes find their way into my writing.
