Release Day Blitz: The Perfect 1 by Cory Cyr!


 
Jensyn Parrish was one of the world’s most gorgeous supermodels, dubbed the “Perfect 10” for most of her career. Thirteen years ago, a horrific car accident left her face disfigured. Suffering the loss of her beauty, career, and self-worth, she seeks a life of quiet seclusion in Hawaii.
 
Lincoln Bass, a New York best-selling author and adrenaline junkie, has no idea what he could possibly have in common with his brother’s friend Jensyn. After suddenly being impaired with blindness at only twenty-five, his life is forever altered. Independent, headstrong, and ever the daredevil, Lincoln is stricken with the certainty that if he wants to continue writing, he needs help.
 
Two people damaged by circumstances of fate…
 
Disguising who she once was becomes a difficult task for Jensyn. Her only job is to help Lincoln finish his book. But boundaries are somehow obscured and fiction becomes their reality.

Release Day Blitz: Wanted by Dee Palmer!


I waited ten years for the right guy, then four come along at once.

I wasn’t even looking for my Mr Right. I thought I’d found him and he was just waiting for that perfect moment to pop the question. When the time came it was far from perfect The event left me a humiliated, broken-hearted mess.

Still, a person would have to be batshit crazy to do what I’ve done, or I’m about to do.
I’m Orange County bound with all my worldly possessions crammed into five suitcases and an agreement to marry one of four complete strangers. I just don’t know which one of the four men it’s going to be.

No need to panic.

I have a whole month to make my decision. Who would do such a thing? No sane woman that’s for sure, but then with a name like Seraphim, I was never going to normal.

Hi, you can call me Finn.

Release Blitz & Giveaway: Dropkick My Heart [Powerhouse M.A. 01] by Winter Travers!

 

Kellan

Countless hours of practice, and enough determination to succeed no matter the cost is what has brought Kellan to standing at the door to his life coming full circle.
Life on the competition circuit was fast-paced, and exciting, but now Kellan is ready to settle down, and stay in his own bed for longer than a week.

Opening Powerhouse Martial Arts with his three best friends was just what they all needed to showcase their skills from traditional forms, all the way to show-style sport tricking.

Kellan thought he had it all figured out, except he didn’t figure in the sassy barista next door.

Molly

For seven years, Molly saved every penny she had to buy the quirky coffee shop on the corner.

Lattes, cappuccinos, espresso. You name it, Molly can make it.

Early mornings slinging coffee, and late nights thinking up the next new coffee craze leaves Molly little time to have a life. Her customers have become her family, and she would do anything to keep her customers happy.

Even venturing over to the new Martial Arts studio next door, and asking them to keep the screaming and grunting to a minimum. Surely one doesn’t need to scream so much, right?

With Molly throwing down the gauntlet to quiet down or shut down, Kellan does the only thing he can do.

Take off the sparring gloves, and show the barista just what Powerhouse Martial Arts is all about.

Strength, Style, & taking no prisoners.

Blog Tour & Giveaway: When Two Hearts Collide [Game of Hearts 03] by Sonya Loveday & Candace Knoebel!


Publication date: 23rd March 2017
Paperback edition: -
Source: Kindle
Rating: 5 stars
Synopsis: Charlie Williams’ view on relationships is simple—one night, no strings, move on.

But when the opportunity to see a girl from his past comes up, Charlie finds himself breaking all his own rules. Ever since the night he'd turned her away, Charlie hasn't been able to get Charlotte off his mind. A break from his pub for a vacation across the pond should be enough to cure him of his curiosity and get her out of his system. At least, he hopes…

Charlotte Mackay channels love through coffee.

Running her fandom-themed store and specialty coffee bar keeps her nerdy heart busy after one too many relationship disappointments.
Until the man she can’t manage to forget calls.

Charlie’s coming to The Hamptons for a two-week vacation. She’s going to be his host—nothing more. She'd fallen under the spell of his bedroom eyes and roguish charm once before, and it nearly wrecked her. Charlotte can’t risk the same mistake twice.

But love knows no boundaries when two hearts collide.


I was given a review copy of this book from one of the authors and I squealed! I squealed even more when the author told me that I was the first person to have the book besides their editor lol! I love these authors books that they've written themselves, but I love their co-written books even more! I also really enjoyed the first two books in this series, so I was looking forward to reading more! After reading, I can say that I loved this book! I was intrigued from the first page, and because there wasn't a synopsis at this point, I had no idea what to expect lol! I normally hate going into a book blind, but I'm so happy I did with this book! The plot only took me a few sittings to read and it had me hooked! I loved the relationship development between the two main characters, and it was very sweet and genuine! The plot also developed at the perfect pace and there were some really hot scenes in it! The plot also had plenty of romance in it, and although it didn't have any action or suspense in it, the romance was definitely enough to keep me reading on! The characters were also amazing and made this book even better! Charlie was the main male character, and he was a secondary character in the other books in this series, so I was excited to read his story! In this book, Charlie was such a sweetheart and was very easy for me to connect with! He did have some bad luck at the beginning of this book lol, but he soon came face-to-face with a dilemma when it came to his love interest! They both lived on different sides of an ocean to each other, so it was difficult for them to develop a relationship! Charlie tried his best though and he was seriously hot with his love interest too! Charlotte was the main female character and love interest of Charlie! Charlotte was also a secondary character in the other books in this series! I loved Charlotte in this book! She was running a successful business that she owned, and she knew what she wanted in life! Well, until it came to the romance side of stuff lol! Charlotte wasn't sure how to deal with her feelings for Charlie and especially with their dilemma! She didn't want to leave her business and Charlie didn't want to leave his! They both definitely compromised though lol! I loved that this book was written from both and Charlotte's point of views! I was obviously expecting it to be co-written as the book was written by two authors, so I'm really happy it was! It helped me connect more with both characters and it allowed for more things to happen in the plot! I also couldn't really tell which author wrote which character, but I had a slight inkling because I know what these authors like! I could be wrong though lol! I'm also not sure if there's going to be another book in this series, but I really hope there is! I see potential for a few secondary character to have their stories told, but I'm not sure what the authors have planned! The cover for this book is absolutely stunning! I loved it as soon as I saw it and it does make more sense after you read the book lol! I love how well it suits the book too!

How will she ever get ahead at the company if she keeps imagining her boss melting in her mouth?

Book Blitz & Giveaway: Echo [The Player 03] by Nana Malone!



Excerpt!
  
   He bent his head, and slid his lips over hers. The contact was light but potent. Drugging. As if she’d been hit with something strong enough to blur her mind.
   Cole waited a hair of a second and started to pull back.
   But for the first time in her life, Echo didn’t overthink, she just followed her instinct. With a sigh, she melted against him, chasing his lips with hers.
   She felt, rather than heard, the low grumble from his chest as he angled his head, deepening the kiss and delving his tongue inside to tease hers.
   One lick of his tongue and she was in no condition to think. No condition to be rational. All she wanted was more of Cole.
   His hands slid down her back, pressing her even closer to him, making her all too aware of every muscle of his every movement, every pulse of his erection.
   Holy hell, the man could kiss.
   His hands tightened on her hips and he pulled back slightly. “You are so fucking beautiful.”

Money, power, prestige…freedom. Echo Coulter is—The Player.

You are a Coulter. You will be perfect. That’s what Echo has been told every day of her life. As the only girl in the Coulter clan, she knows it’s her job to be the glue of the family.

Cole Atkins has no interest in spoiled little rich girls. Besides, he’s got the job of a lifetime and just met the girl of his dreams…That is, until she ditches him under the cover of darkness. He can put her out of his head and deal with a spoiled princess for a couple of months right?

Cover Reveal & Giveaway: The Banker [Modern Love 03] by Piper Rayne!




Who knew my brother’s friend could be Mr. Right, and not just Mr. Right Now?

My brother refused to introduce me, so I blame him. If he’d just caved, and introduced me to Jasper, I wouldn’t be in this mess. I mean, really, what’s the big deal? I’m not interested in the guy’s looks.

Oh no, I want his cold hard cash. (Be honest, you were expecting that other four letter ‘c’ word weren’t you?)

Now, before you go getting all judgy, I’m not a gold digger. I have a legitimate business opportunity for Jasper to invest in. The problem is that my stick-up-his-ass brother is embarrassed that his twin sister invents kick ass sex toys. His problem, not mine.

So, I took matters into my own hands. Defeat isn’t a word in Lennon Hart’s dictionary.

Using my stealthy P.I. moves, I narrowed my search to a time and place where I knew I could find him. It was completely innocent. A chance meeting that would give me the opportunity to pitch my business.

It wasn’t until I sat down across from the gorgeous panty soaking man in front of me, that I realized I wanted so much more than just his money. I could very well want his heart if I wasn’t careful.

Apparently my P.I. skills aren’t as stellar as I thought because Jasper had his own secret—and it changed EVERYTHING.

Release Blitz & Giveaway: Royally Relinquished by Hayley Faiman!

 
The only thing royal about Caitriona Geneva Grace is the blue of her beat-up sedan. While luxury and vanity are terms she could use to describe her everyday life, they're not words she lives by. Rather, they're words that keep her fed—barely. As a receptionist at a medical spa, her life is far from glamorous, but she gets by. For Cait, anything beats the life she left behind when she said goodbye to her small town after high school.
 
His highness, Prince Henrik Stuart, is a slave to his royal status. Bound by duty and controlled by the crown, he fears a future chained to a woman of good breeding--a match not made in love. While known as the foolhardy prince, the thought of settling down isn't what troubles him. Rather, if he could find a woman who cared nothing of his title, he would give her the world.
 
When a weekend trip leads to a chance meeting, both Caitriona and Henrik feel a spark between them unlike any they've experienced before. To each, the other is too good to be true, but one night of fun cannot be denied.
 
When she said 'yes' to the handsome, green-eyed stranger, Caitriona didn't know that she was stepping into her very own fairytale.

Release Day Blitz & Review: Waiting to Breathe [Waiting Duet 01] by Alyson Reynolds!

 
Publication date: 21st March 2017
Paperback edition: -
Source: Kindle
Rating: 4 stars
Synopsis: She's broken.

He's lost.


Olivia Crawford had been through the ringer. All she wants is to start over without any complications or anyone figuring out her secrets. When her twin brother Finn convinces her to move back home and finish her degree at his school, it's just the push she needs to start over.


Nathaniel Ford is the golden boy of SCU. He seems like he has it all, perfect family, awesome friends and fraternity brothers, and a few buildings on campus with his last name on them. But things aren't always what they seem.


From the first time Nate and Olivia bump into each other, literally, he wants more of her feisty attitude, but Olivia throws more walls up with each step he takes closer, and he isn't sure he can break them down fast enough.


I was one of the blogs that helped reveal the cover for this book! I then decided to review it for the Release Day Blitz because the synopsis really intrigued me and made me want to read the story! I received an ARC of this book and I started reading it very last minute because I was away on holiday! I did zoom through this book, but it was mainly because I was on a deadline to review it lol! I really enjoyed this book though! The plot developed at a really good pace and it did keep me interested! There were also plenty of seriously hot scenes that made me love the plot too! I will admit though that I took this book down a star because sometimes I couldn't feel the romantic connection between the two main characters! I sometimes lost that connection with them and this made it difficult for me to read some scenes! I loved that there was some action and a bit of suspense in the plot and the ending was left at the perfect place too! The characters were also amazing and made this book even better! Olivia was the main female character, and in this book it was easy to tell that Olivia had a secret! I had some sort of idea as to what her secret could have been, but I was wrong lol! I wasn't far off, but I didn't expect the secret to be what it was lol! I really liked Olivia in this book! There were times in this book where I really liked her and then there were times where I kinda wanted to shake some sense into her! She did overreact at a major scene, and this made me kinda mad lol, but everything worked out lol! I also felt sorry for Olivia in this book because she had been through a lot and she just wanted a fresh start! She definitely got that lol! Nate was the main male character and love interest of Olivia! Nate was a character that went through a lot in this book and didn't want to tell Olivia because she was already dealing with a lot! I respected Nate a lot for this, but Olivia was stronger than he thought lol! Nate was also very protective of Olivia and he proved this again and again in this book! He had some insane amount of love for her too and I loved the way that he supported her when she told him her secret! This told me a lot about the kind of guy that Nate was! He was also seriously hot, but I liked that he wasn't a douche and thought that he could get what he wanted just because of his looks! I loved that this book was written from both Olivia and Nate's point of views! I was kinda expecting it to be after I read the synopsis, but I'm really happy that it was! It really helped me connect more with both characters and it allowed for more things to happen in the plot too! I also can't wait to read the next book in this series! I wasn't sure what was going to happen in the next book as Olivia and Nate's story ended perfectly and very beautifully, so I didn't think that the author would give them a second book! The next book is actually going to focus on two secondary characters from this book though, which makes me really excited! I can't wait to read it once it releases! The cover for this book suits it perfectly! I wasn't really sure how it was going to fit in with the book after I read the synopsis, but then I read the book and it represents the characters story perfectly! I love it a lot! Big thank you to Alyson and Give Me Books for an ARC of Waiting to Breathe!
