Synopsis:

On the eve of the 2016 elections, young Republican Megan Thompson faces a once-in-a lifetime opportunity when her boss decides to groom her to run for his congressional seat in 2018. Ambitious and pragmatic, Megan is missing just one thing: a wealthy, well-connected trophy husband.

So, when Megan moves from Florida to DC and lets the congressman broker a power match, she’s looking to get down to work, not fall in love. And she’s definitely not looking to make nice with her new roommate, Andrew Croswell, a liberal environmentalist determined to make her life hell.

After a series of unpleasant blind dates, Megan begins to lose hope of finding her shiny white Republican knight in time to boost her appeal to donors and voters. At last she hits it off with Brock, a dashing, Don Draperesque spokesman for the NRA, and even love-shy Megan thinks he could be “the one.” But as the year progresses, she and Andrew start getting along a little too well, and Megan finds herself second-guessing all her well-laid plans.

Things start spinning out of control when a special election pushes everything up by a year. As Megan races against the clock, she’ll do anything to win—almost. Now she must choose: career over love, or love over politics?

Love, Across the Divide follows genuine, familiar characters from both sides of the aisle, smashing stereotypes and striving to make sense of our not-so-brave new world. Most of all, it asks a crucial question: Can love bridge the great American divide?

BOOK REVIEW!!! ~ Resisting The Rancher by Kadie Scott

Get your copy HERE!!!

ABOUT:

Rusty Walker has spent her entire life trying to earn her tough, ranching father’s respect and approval by learning the business inside and out. But now her uncompromising parent has decreed she must marry if she wants to inherit. Worse, her husband has to be someone who can help her run the business. As if she needs it!

Williams Hill kissed Rusty in a bar in an act of temporary insanity, and lost his heart to her on the spot. Despite the complications to his own rodeo stock business, he agrees to marry the feisty red-head, hoping to woo her once they’re hitched. But she only views him with suspicion and resentment.

Can this soft-spoken Texas cowboy convince his proud wife, who’s never known unconditional love, that she is everything he wants?

 

 

I liked Resisting The Rancher…for the most part. While I do love a good marriage of convenience trope, I really REALLY disliked Rusty’s father. Nothing that happens throughout the story—including the ending—did anything to redeem him in my eyes and the only reason I didn’t drop a star was because he didn’t make many appearances throughout the book. But a guy who thinks his kid isn’t enough because she’s not a boy? Well that’s a character who I’m happy to see…never.

Genre: Erotic Romance
Release Date: August 24, 2018
Cover Model: Sahib Faber
Cover Photographer: Alikhan Photography
Cover Designer: Najla Qamber

 

They say one action doesn’t define you. 

I killed a man. Stabbed him in the neck and licked the blood off my lips after I did it. 
 
Still, one action doesn’t define you. 
 
I could have called anyone. My father, the Prez of The Fallen MC, our family lawyer, my best friend, Lila, or my brother, King. 
 
I didn’t. 
 
Instead, I called Lionel Danner, the police officer renowned for taking down the Nightstalkers MC. The man who had been my father’s arch nemesis for decades. The man who hated everything I stood for. A man who had disappeared from my life without explanation three years ago. 
 
I called him. 
 
And maybe one action doesn’t define you, but killing a bad man and calling in the good changed my life and it sure as hell changed his. 
 
The third book in the Fallen Men Series. A standalone featuring Harleigh Rose and Officer Lionel Danner.

Genre: Adult Romance Sports MMA
Release Date: July 30, 2018
Life has a funny way of pushing us beyond what is mentally possible.
 
Paige
I was born to parents who never cared if I had food or clothes. I was nothing. A waste of space and time to them.
At sixteen, they relocated…and didn’t bother to tell me.
I lived in my busted up and broken-down car behind a gym for months when two men found me.
One of them I believed was my savior, the love of my life. Turns out things aren’t always what they seem. He was the devil in disguise.
A few thousand bad decisions later, I find myself in the very same parking lot where I found the devil and the man who supported me through it all.
I’m Paige Turner. I’m a mess of a woman with nothing but hard times in my past and a future that’s completely uncertain.
 
Sergio
I had a life once. I had a wife and a baby on the way. My life was everything I never knew I wanted.
I was halfway around the world, defending my country, serving the United States proudly, when I lost absolutely everything that mattered.
I couldn’t save them. I couldn’t even fight for them.
I went through the stages of grief and I’ve come out on the other side a different man.
Now, I fight.
Literally.
There is something therapeutic about beating someone or even yourself. I can control the pain, unlike my life.
I’m Sergio Nichols. When my family was taken, I’ve somehow learned to function in a new dysfunctional family of their own making.
 
Two broken people with one chance at redemption.

NEW RELEASE & REVIEW!! ~ Set the Night on Fire by Laura Trentham

Get your copy HERE!!!

 

ABOUT:

Cottonbloom is the perfect place for starting over, finding your way back home—and falling head over heels. . .

Ella Boudreaux has a lot to prove to her family, friends, and foes—and to herself. So when her marriage ends she decides to invest her energy and money into a place that brings back some of Ella’s happiest memories: the Abbott brothers’ garage. Maybe, if she puts her mind to it, she can teach skeptical, stubborn Mack Abbott how to make the business a true success. Which would be a lot easier if the hunky mechanic didn’t make her motor run quite so fast…and hot.

Mack was furious when his brother, Ford, sold his share of the business. He’s in no rush to team up with a wealthy divorcée who shows up to the garage in stilettos—and the longest, sexiest legs he’s seen in forever. But Ella’s grit and determination won’t quit…and soon Mack can see that she’s been down a few rough roads herself. Neither Mack nor Ella can deny the fierce attraction that’s revving up between them. Could it be that true love has been in the backseat all along…and they’ve finally found the key?

As I started reading Set the Night on Fire I wasn’t sure what I was in for, but the synopsis sounded like a pretty hot enemies to lovers story so I pushed through the first chapter and that’s when things got good.

Really good.
