COMING SOON!!! ~ Best Of My Love

My name is Andrea Larson but everyone calls me Dre.

After college I was supposed to return to my hometown of Emerald Creek and set up an online travel business with my high school sweetheart.

Then he knocked up someone else and those plans went to sh*t.

I moved on, sold my website for a ton of money and moved to California.

My life, my business is a success by any measure of the word.

Then I got the call. My best friend needed me.

In Emerald Creek.

I haven’t seen Erick in a decade, maybe more.

Now we’re in the same town where we fell in love and avoiding him isn’t possible.

 

My name is Erick but everyone knows me by my restaurant name, Maverick

Divorce and a single dad, I don’t date much.

My life is my baby girl and Maverick’s.

And then Dre comes back to town.

Summer in Emerald Creek would be the perfect chance to make her love me again.

If I can get her to talk to me.

My Review:

5 STARS

Dark Romantic Comedy/Adult Romance

OH. MY. GOD! What did I just read!?!?!? It was AHMAZING!

One of the authors was describing it as campy, funny and just a different type of book and yes, yes it is! I seriously loved every second of this book. There were times it was hilarious, awkward, very serious and unbelievable yet believable! This read is a serious emotional roller coaster ride that I COULDN’T put down.

Seriously. I could NOT stop reading this book. It’s one of those books that you don’t even want to stop for a snack. THAT GOOD! The characters are so well-developed and easy to relate to and the plot is fast paced and captivating.

I absolutely love Adult Romances, Dark Romances and sometimes Romantic Comedies (Rom Com). Usually Rom Coms aren’t my thing. They tend to be cheesy and mildly annoying but this book was…

Review ~ On The Plus Side – Alison Bliss

Get your copy HERE!!!

ABOUT:

Big girls don’t cry.
They go after what they want.

Thanks to her bangin’ curves, Valerie Carmichael has always turned heads-with the exception of seriously sexy Logan Mathis. Just Valerie’s luck that the object of her lust-filled affection is also best friends with her overprotective brother. But Valerie’s determined to get Logan’s attention . . . even if it means telling a teeny little lie to get a job at his new bar.

Logan can’t remember a time when Valerie didn’t secretly fuel all his hottest fantasies. Now the curvaceous she-devil is working behind his bar, tempting him every damn night. It’s only when he finds Valerie’s naughty things-to-do list that Logan decides to break every rule in the book-by making each red-hot deed a reality.

No one warned them that they were going to fall this hard. And no one warned them that sometimes the smallest secrets can have the biggest consequences.

So I love the sibling’s best friend romance trope and anytime a story contains it and meets my other criteria, I can’t wait to dig in and get started. And when that childhood crush lingers, persists until they meet again…as adults? Well I am all over those stories! On The Plus Side started out great and I was intrigued with Valerie’s feistiness, her fierce confident attitude and her potty mouth! Valerie is a pretty great character who embraces her curves and makes sure the rest of the world does too. Continue reading Review ~ On The Plus Side – Alison Bliss

COVER REVEAL!!!! ~ Best Of My Love by N.D. Jackson

I am so excited to show you my new cover for my upcoming novel, Best Of My Love. This year things, mostly my day job as a writer, have conspired against me finishing this novel as quickly as I wanted but I’m grateful for it because I’ve been playing around with this story for a year or more but I never knew quite where I wanted it to go.

Writing a second chance romance that comes with so much baggage isn’t easy and when the heroine, Dre, has the kind of baggage she has it gets even more complicated. But that’s for another time…

Best Of My Love – COMING SOON!

Review ~ Second Chance Summer – Kait Nolan

Get your copy HERE!!!

ABOUT:

Professor Audrey Graham shouldn’t be alive. But she didn’t walk away from the accident that should’ve taken her life. She shouldn’t have ever walked again according to the doctors. But after two years of physical therapy and countless surgeries, she’s got a second lease on life. First stop? Camp Firefly Falls to try and catch up on some of the living she never did before her accident.

Firefighter Hudson Lowell shouldn’t be alive. In the wake of losing two members of his team in a structure fire gone wrong, he’s been unable to work, unable to pull himself out of the survivor’s guilt. In a last ditch effort to snap him out of it, his family surprises him with a 2 week reunion session at Camp Firefly Falls, reminder of a simpler, better time. The last thing he expects to find is the woman he helped cut out of a snarled up wreck of a car two years before.

As sparks ignite between rescuer and rescuee, Audrey finally gets the chance to repay her hero. But can she convince this proud, stubborn man that life is still worth living? Or will Hudson let this chance at happiness slip through his fingers?

 

 

Not only do I LOVE the idea of a summer camp for adults but I cannot resist a big sexy hero who doesn’t think he’s a hero like Hudson in Second Chance Summer. Audrey and Hudson met two years before camp when he saved her life during a horrific auto accident. His deep sexy voice kept her calm which probably kept her alive while they pulled her mangled body from the wreck. One of the things he talked about was his time a Camp Firefly Falls and she promptly added it to her bucket list.

With a premise like that, I couldn’t wait to dig in and from the moment they met I was hit with major case of the feels. Audrey is determined to live her life to the fullest because prior to her accident she’d basically been living for her parents. As a child genius there were a lot of expectations placed on her and she was committed to living up to each and every one of them. But her accident changed everything and the excitement and exuberance with which she takes on every task was intoxicating even on the pages of my Kindle.

Audrey and Hudson together were a fiery match that shouldn’t have fit so well together, but holy crap did they ever! He didn’t want to be anyone’s hero after his own tragedy left a black mark on his heart. That only made me love him more, especially when he so wholly threw himself into helping Audrey during Field Day.

Maybe it’s because of my own summer camp experience but the intensity, the fun and the activities all combined to make for a thrilling experience that had me smiling—okay and tearing up a little—from beginning to end.

Now please tell me that Charlie and Rebecca have a story out there or coming soon???

Another gem from Camp Firefly Falls!!!

Review ~ Foolish Expectations – Alison Bliss

Get your copy HERE!!!

ABOUT:

Forever is the last thing they expected…

Lawyer Nash Sutherland encounters a spirited young woman with an untrusting nature in a Texas roadside bar. She’s as sexy as she is surly, and their undeniable attraction leads them to one night of pleasure…and a fateful condom mishap. By morning, the striking beauty has disappeared, but he can’t get her out of his head. She’s everything he wasn’t looking for, but now must find.

After one night of passion, Bailey Hobbs finds herself in an unexpected predicament. And the cause of it happens to be the persistent man standing in her living room, proposing a solution: marriage. She may be pregnant with Nash’s child, but after her past with a cheating ex, she refuses to put her faith in another man. But try telling that to a guy who argues for a living.

The only thing bigger than his…Stetson…is his ego, and Bailey knows firsthand how hard it is to resist Nash when he wants something. But she’s determined to keep him at an emotionally safe distance…one he refuses to allow. Because if Nash can’t get her to risk her heart once more, it will cost them the one thing that matters most.

This is the second book I’ve read by Alison Bliss and I actually liked it better than the first, which I liked also. Foolish Expectations is a small town romance that tells the story of Bailey and Nash. To say they were a one night stand would be accurate but also doesn’t get anywhere near telling the whole story, but I don’t want to give away the good stuff so I won’t.

Review ~ Falling Hard – Stacy Finz

Get your copy HERE!!!

ABOUT:

In the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountain town of Nugget, California, falling hard is all too easy . . .

This is the summer of Annie Sparks—at least according to her. No more supporting lazy jerks or coddling irresponsible family or taking care of anyone who doesn’t deserve her help. Instead she’s headed to an estate in a remote mountain town, to spend her summer with her boots covered in mud and her hands working the earth. Love is the last thing on her mind.

Nugget is a long way from Logan Jenkins’ old life as a Navy SEAL. But before he starts fresh in the private sector, he receives a bequest from a man he never knew: his biological father. To learn more about his background, Logan makes his way to his late father’s estate, where he is immediately knocked on his heels by an incredible woman with a heart of gold.

Annie’s not looking for a fling, and Logan knows Nugget can’t be forever, so falling in love should be impossible. But when they’re together, time stops, and suddenly the impossible seems like the only thinkable option . . .

Annie Sparks is the kind of friend who kicks up all of your protective instincts. She has a string of losers in her past, all of whom needed her for her money, her work ethic or her support. But the summer we meet Annie in Falling Hard she is all about herself. For once. Continue reading Review ~ Falling Hard – Stacy Finz

NEW RELEASE!!! Review ~ Eye Candy – Jessica Lemmon

ABOUT:

Jacqueline: As an adult woman–and the vice president of a marketing firm–I shouldn’t be waiting by my office window to ogle the mystery man who jogs by every morning at 11:45. Sure, he’s a gorgeous, perfect specimen of the human race, but I can’t bring myself to hit on a total stranger. However, my best friend-slash-colleague Vince Carson thinks I should do more than talk to the guy. In fact, he’s borderline obsessive about “getting me laid.” (His words.) But the more time we spend together, the more it’s clear: The one I’m falling for is Vince.
 
Vince: Jackie Butler’s got it bad for some pompous, over-pumped A-hole who struts his stuff past her window. That doesn’t bother me. I know she deserves nice things. What does bother me is that she friend-zoned me big-time last year, so I can’t ask her out myself. But what if I set her up with Mr. Steroids? Then, when he breaks her heart, I can swoop in and save her like the nice guy I am. Everything’s going according to plan . . . until we share a ridiculously epic kiss. And suddenly anything is possible.

I do love a friend’s to lovers story and Jackie and Vince’s story had me very excited. Although I’m not a huge fan of stories written in the first person I dove into Eye Candy and found the story engaging. Continue reading NEW RELEASE!!! Review ~ Eye Candy – Jessica Lemmon
