BOOK REVIEW & RELEASE!!! ~ Can’t Stand The Rain by Kait Nolan

Get your copy HERE!!!

ABOUT:

Delaney Newell knows what it means to be powerless. Against the family who wouldn’t support her. Against the man she loved who betrayed her. Against the gossips who won’t let her forget it. But after years of struggling, she’s finally getting her life together.

Sean Murphy has spent years fighting forest fires. The former hotshot turned forester knows the growth that can sprout from unfathomable destruction. That’s what he sees in Delaney—someone who got leveled by life but didn’t stop growing. He’s spent the past several months watching the shy red-head blossom, and he really likes what he sees.

When Delaney is accused of a crime she didn’t commit, everyone is willing to believe the worst of her. Everyone except Sean. The woman he knows couldn’t possibly be behind the rash of fires that are keeping the volunteer fire department hopping. Someone is deliberately framing her. Will Delaney trust him enough to help her find the real culprit?

I am always glad for a trip back to Wishful. Over the years Kait Nolan has always made sure I had a good time, a few tears and some knee-shaking swooning. This time though in Can’t Stand The Rain, we got something a little edgier dealing with issues that make you take a second look at some of Wishful’s kind townsfolk.

Delaney was put through the wringer thanks to a scumbag ex. She lost her family and the support of her town but she persevered and held her head up high which instantly made me like her and root for her. She was strong through it all, when some of us (me) would have just blown up at Gina and given her what she had coming…again!

And Sean, well he is an absolutely perfect book boyfriend. He is kind and understanding and he doesn’t hold back the truth even when he knows it might not be what Delaney wanted to hear. Together Delaney & Sean’s was an interesting story to read. I had a good time as I usually do in Wishful and I look forward to the next one!

I missed you, and I needed to see you again.
 
And that’s the last thing Lilah Ledbetter wants. She’s been down that road with Finian Brody, and she’ll be damned if she’ll let him hurt her again—no matter how hot he still makes her burn.
 
You deserve better, and I want the chance to give you better.
 
Epic truck sex should never be followed by a broken heart, but that’s exactly what Fin gave Lilah, all those months ago. Nudging her into a job at Green Rock Ranch is hardly the way to make amends, though her body doesn’t seem to get the message. 
 
Tell me you want me, Lilah. Say it.
 
Heaven help her, she does. Avoiding Fin when they’re working together is next to impossible. He’s still arrogant as hell, but there’s something different this time around.
 
He’s changed.
 
But so has she.
 
Feel all of me with all of you, sunshine, and know this is where you belong.
 
Fin might be sure they belong together, but Lilah will have to bury the past before giving Fin—and love—a second chance.

Author: Bink Cummings
Genre: M/M BDSM
Release Date: July 12, 2018
 
His Master 
Six years ago, I was accepted into an exclusive BDSM commune that caters to the gay elite, and molded into the submissive of every dom’s dream. Under the ever watchful eye of Master Croy, my savior, I spend my days fulfilling my masters’ every fantasy. It has become my solace. The only place I’ve felt at home. They respect me for who I am. Made me into the man I’ve become…It is my hope that I never have to leave…
Until now…
Because of him.
The master who makes me feel.
The gray haired God who sees me as more than a slick hole and pretty face.
I’ve never felt this way before.
Things are changing.
I’m changing…But I don’t know what it means.
My home is here. I can’t leave.
But what about him? Master Kellan. I think he wants me.
And,
Can I tell you a secret?
I think I want him, too.
 
Master’s Vlogger 
It’s been over a year since Master rescued me from the commune. Now, I live my amazing life with the man of my dreams as I pursue my career as a vlogger. The only problem is, as much as I love my master and the life we lead, I’ve sworn off all male friendships aside from Jake’s–our next door neighbor. It’s nothing personal. I just can’t seem to get past… the one thing that tore into my soul and won’t let go. I don’t want to be this way. But I can’t seem to help it…
Will Master find a way to fix what’s been broken?
Or, am I destined to live my life jaded, thanks to a scarred past?
I’m not a damn victim.
If only my brain would get the memo.

Series: Seven Vices Series
Author: Emily Blythe
Genre: Contemporary Romance Standalone
Release Date: July 12, 2018
Cover Designer: Mayhem Cover Creations
From author Emily Blythe, comes a new, standalone, contemporary romance.
 
Chloe Walker
Back then the boy next door was a beautiful contradiction. An avid reader, the town brawler—my dangerous crush. Until one day he up and left town like a thief in the night, leaving me devastated.
 
A decade later, my nightmare returned. But Will Lewin was no longer the wild, charismatic boy of my past. He was a successful restaurateur, a stranger. He was something bitter and resentful. A fully grown man…who still left me reeling.
 
I didn’t want his help. But I had nowhere else to turn. I had to let him back in. Even if I still hated him. Even if he could never forgive me for what I’d done. 
 
Will Lewin
Get the job done and get the hell out of there…nothing could be simpler. Right?
 
But it wasn’t. I felt it in every fiber of my being—coming back was a mistake. Nothing had changed in the years since they’d driven me from my hometown. They hadn’t forgotten, and neither had I. 
 
Ten years on, that same wrath still blistered inside me. Except now it was squarely directed at the people who had tried to destroy my life: the residents of Falcon, my high school nemesis, and most of all, Chloe…the girl who broke my heart.
 
 
Wrath is a Seven Vices novel (a series of standalones that can be read in any order). This is a steamy, full-length romance with a HEA. No cheating.

Mason Kincaid is a player.
 
He learned from the best—his brothers. He knows he’s a good-looking bastard and isn’t afraid to use his baby face on the ladies. 
 
Life is sweet until he receives a call from his best friend begging Mason to look out for his baby sister, Josephine. A babysitting job is not on his list of things to do, but Keith is like a brother to him, and he can’t say no.
 
Then he meets Josephine and feels like a fifteen-year-old fanboy. Josephine isn’t just Keith’s little sister—she’s Mason’s favorite YouTuber, and Keith damn well knew it. The bastard probably laughed his ass off.
 
Celebrity crush or not, he takes his role as her fill-in big brother seriously, and he immediately understands Keith’s dislike of Jo’s self-centered boyfriend. The more time Mason spends with her, the harder it is not to beat the asshole black and blue. 
 
And the harder it is to guard his heart. 
 
Before long, the player is played. He falls in love with a woman who is not only taken, but seems to truly love her boyfriend.
 
But Mason is a Kincaid, and Kincaids don’t back down. He’s determined to change his manwhore ways and show Jo what it means to be treated right, cared for, and loved, even though she fights him with every breath. 
 
Can he convince her to listen to her heart before it’s too late—and they lose the one thing they’ll never find again?
