OUR REVIEWS:

Johnaka's Review:


“Are they really so different? 5 stars”

Kellie is a woman who came from nothing and now has everything but the one thing she wants, love. When she first met Brian she wanted him but the feelings weren’t mutual. Now he’s back in her life to keep her safe. Is this a second chance for them? 

Brian is a complicated man. When he met Kellie he wanted her but he has a strict no dating clients policy. Will being with her for the next 90 days change things for them? Will he be blinded by her and forget to keep her safe? Only one way to find out.

I loved Kellie and Brian. They were more alike than either of them realized. All throughout the story we were in suspense on who Kellie’s stalker was but honestly the love aspect of the story was so amazing I forgot about the suspense. I usually nitpick trying to figure out who the evil person is during the whole story while reading but with Hollywood Princess for me it was like an added bonus. I loved how alpha Brian is and how sweet and humble Kellie is.

Madison killed the story itself and managed to wrap it in a pretty bow with the cover she chose. You can’t go wrong with Hollywood Princess.

Louise's Review:

Madison has followed up Hollywood Playboy with this amazing story, filled with love, suspense and drama that will have you holding your breath until the very last page. 

Kellie is a Hollywood music star, heading off on a world tour with some extra baggage; a stalker that has started to invade her private space. Cue in the hot bodyguard Brian who has held back from temptation previously, but surviving 90 days in close quarters it’s going to test all his restraint.

I loved Kellie and Brian, their slow burn only makes their interaction’s more powerful. From the beginning I had zero idea about who the stalker was and it was only towards the end that I started to connect dots and float a few names around. 

I personally really enjoyed this story; having had a small snippet of Kellie and Brian in Hollywood Playboy I knew their story would be amazing. Hollywood Princess can be read as a standalone but why would you, Hollywood Playboy is Jessica and Tyler’s story; I have marked Hollywood Prince in my diary and cannot wait!

When her nose isn't buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she's in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It's a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn't listen to her...

Review:


‘ “What do you say Taylor?”. He rose above me again so that I was staring into those gorgeous greens of his. “Want to see how hot this fire burns?” ‘


Taylor is running for her grief trying to find a world where she can function and not feel that gaping hole that has been left inside her chest. Staying in Sutter Lake is the best choice for her right now, the entire Cole family lead by Walker takes her under their wing giving her the love she has been missing. 

When their small town is rocked by the death of one of their own, they are all on edge trying to piece together how this is happening. For the 2nd time in his life Walker is searching for someone who means everything to him, will he find her or be a victim himself? 

I personally loved these two characters their own grief and issues brought them closer, while I felt a little frustrated with Taylor everyone grieves differently. Cowles did not disappoint throwing a little bit of everything into this book I was left on the edge of my seat wondering if my theory was correct. 

I really enjoyed having Carter and Austin back in the mix, I loved Further to Fall and Cowles amazing writing and potting have continued with Beautifully Broken Pieces.

I look forward to more from the Sutter Lake series, all future books have been added to my, to read list.

Excerpt

Tonight,
Zoe wasn’t wearing the halter-neck dress. She appeared in figure-hugging jeans
and a blue cotton blouse that set off the topaz in her beautiful irises. After
declining a glass of wine, she sat next to me, shooting me a look from under
her dark lashes.
Mrs K
arrived with our starter course, a fresh vegetable salad made with cucumbers,
tomatoes and onions. She served us and returned to the kitchen.
I swirled
the wine in my glass. “I’m sorry if I was a little abrupt when we said
goodnight yesterday.”
“Abrupt?
You were more than abrupt.” Her eyes flashed. “You were downright rude.”
“I’m not a
nice man. I don’t do ‘nice’. I
can’t.”
“Why?”
Ever forthright.
“If I show
any weakness, I’ll be finished.” I lifted my fork and speared a tomato.
She took a
sip of water. “Being nice isn’t the same as being weak, I don’t think.”
“You are
right, rybka. It isn’t.” I shook my
head. “I guess I’ve just gotten out of the habit.”
She chewed
some salad and swallowed. “Were you horrible to your wife? Is that why you got
divorced?”
“None of
your concern,” I snapped, slamming my hand down on the table. Dishes rattled
and the water in Zoe’s glass sloshed over the edge.
She shot me
a withering look. “There you go again, being a prick. I’m only trying to
understand you, Taras.”

Release Blitz & Review - Love Me Like You Won't Let Go - Melissa Toppen


Title: Love Me Like You Won't Let Go
Author: Melissa Toppen
Genre: 2nd Chance Romance
Release Date: February 22, 2019



You never get over your first love. It’s something I’ve heard countless times. Like someone has to point out that your pain will never go away. That your shattered heart will never mend.

Because that’s exactly what my heart did the day I watched Asher Evans board that train- it shattered, splintering into a million tiny fragments that I didn’t think I’d ever be able to piece back together. He was the boy I had loved since I understood what loving someone meant. The one who knew me inside and out. The one who swore he’d never let me go. It’s been six years since that day and even now the memory haunts me like it was yesterday.

I’ve done my best to move on, to rebuild, and for the most part I’ve done pretty well. But all of that comes crashing down when Asher strolls back into town like he never left.

I don’t want to want him. I certainly don’t want to need him. But that doesn’t stop me from doing it anyway. Only things are different now. I’m different. I’m not the girl he left behind all those years ago. I may have been foolish enough to give him my heart once but I won’t make that mistake a second time. Or at least that’s what I tell myself until I’m standing face to face with the one man who has the power to break me all over again.

Love Me Like You Won’t Let Go is a STANDALONE second chance romance.











“Second chances, 4 stars”


Blakely and Asher were childhood best friends turned sweethearts. Then after a devastating loss Asher takes off, promising he will someday be back. Blakely waited until she gave up and moved on. But now Asher is back and wants her to be his again. Blakely has a choice to make, the man who sets her world on fire or the one she knows is safe. Only one way to find out who she picks.

I loved Asher. I hated how long he was gone and how he went about it but it was understandable. Blakely is living in fear. Fear of loving the man who left her, him leaving her again, of walking away from someone who cares about her, just straight up fear. The question is will she let it control her. Love me Like you Won’t let Go is a story about love that has with held during all the highs, lows, and distance. It’s a second chance at true love. I enjoyed how Toppen wove the story. I usually avoid any sort of love triangles but Toppen did this one well and classy without any cheating, so I took it for a win.

Release Blitz & Review - Against the Boards - Samantha Lind





Title: Against the Boards
Series: Indianapolis Eagles #5
Author: Samantha Lind
Genre: Contemporary Sports Romance

Release Date: February 21, 2019



Blurb

Reese
Blackwood

I’m called America’s
sweetheart.

They say I have
the voice of an angel.

I almost gave all
that up, thanks to a traumatic experience at the start of my career. Instead of
letting it define me, I chose to rise above. I showed everyone what a woman on
a mission could accomplish, and now I’m living my dream.

After one chance
meeting, my entire world changes. Austin is every woman’s fantasy, and he wants
me. While the attraction is there for me as well, I don’t need any distractions
right now.


Austin Jones

Focused.

Driven.

I’m the man I am
today because I never let the idea of settling down disrupt being the best I
can during my hockey career.

But then Reese
floats into my life and everything changes, and now all I want to do is pin her
against the boards.

They say
opposites attract. You can’t get more opposite than Country Music’s hottest
female singer and a hockey player from Canada. With competing travel schedules,
our instant attraction appears to be doomed from the start. Can it really be
love? Or is it just a hot ice-melting fling?

OUR REVIEW:


Long distance relationship, 3.5 stars”


Reese is taking the world by storm with her music and one chance encounter puts Austin in front of her. They instantly connect but between both of their travel schedules syncing up in next to impossible. Thank the lord for technology. Will they finally be able to spend some time together once life calms down?

Austin was perfectly happy with his life and his hockey game, then Reese came into his life. She kicked everything up a notch and now he can’t imagine not having even the smallest piece of her. If only they could actually see each other in person. Can he make this long-distance thing work?

Austin and Reese were adorable. They clicked and they were more than supportive of one another. Even with the book hitting most of the things I love it didn’t hold my attention for some reason. But I hope you enjoy it.
