Book Blitz & Giveaway: Mine To Keep [Love By Design 07] by M.C. Cerny!

Remington Kennedy was out of “bless your hearts” to give. She moved North for a chance at something better. Her compass to success was getting an education and getting out of tornado alley. A failed scholarship led her to tending bar. A lie drove her into the arms of the town football star filled with hopes and dreams. A year later, she found herself with a baby on the way, more lost than ever, alone, and terrified.

Evan Rooney was nobody’s hero. As a good cop in a small town, he felt the daily weight of responsibility. Known as the Preacher’s son, he struggled to keep his faith…but secrets have a way of finding the surface and Evan finds himself drawn to the red headed barmaid with a bun in the oven like a moth to it’s flame.

Both need a little saving…both need love, and a baby needs a family made of more than just DNA.

Release Boost: Wreck [Gentry Generations 05] by Cora Brent!

THOMAS
Not too long ago my future was all mapped out.
Then two brutal swings of a steel bat wielded by a maniac wrecked my world.
The adrenaline high I used to get from pitching a perfect game is gone.
The major league dreams I counted on have vanished.
And the peace of mind I took for granted is shattered.
The thrills I seek out now are self-destructive.
I know this and I can’t stop.
What I didn’t expect is for my downward spiral to be interrupted by a shy beauty with a messy past.
Gracie and I very different.
And yet we’re tragically alike.
I can prove to her that we’re supposed to be together.
All she has to do is give me the chance.
And all I have to do is remember how to be the guy she thinks I am.

GRACIE
I’ve learned the hard way that one reckless mistake can topple your house of cards.
And I thought I was finished taking chances.
But Thomas Gentry made it clear he was on a mission to break my armor and guys like Thomas didn’t come along every day.
He was as charming as he was headstrong, as sexy as he was protective.
He put all the book heroes I’ve ever drooled over to shame.
Falling for Thomas was inevitable.
And I was his before I understood something important.
We both need to find a way to heal ourselves.
Otherwise we might ruin each other forever...

Release Day Blitz & Giveaway: Blue Ridge Murder [Marshall Brothers 02] by Carolyn LaRoche!

Parole Officer Alayna Baron fell in love once. Never again. The only relationship she needed was with her job. When her roommate surprises her with a long weekend in the mountains, she reluctantly agrees—completely unaware it’s a singles' matchmaking event.

Detective Evan Marshall, widowed at a very young age, thought he'd had his one chance at love. When his brothers send him away for the weekend, the thought of romance never crossed his mind. At least, not until he found the intriguing Alayna stranded on the side of the road.

When a massive snow storm closes the roads and bodies start piling up at the inn where they are staying, Evan and Alayna join forces in an attempt to keep the other guests safe. But even with a murderer hidden amongst them, Evan and Alayna find a spark neither was looking for. If only they can stay alive long enough to explore it…

Book Blitz & Giveaway: A Vampire’s Spell [The Order of the Black Oak – Vampires 01] by Marie-Claude Bourque!

Excerpt!

   She felt everything that was in him, the power, the excruciating long life, the guilt, the despair and the steadiness of knowing exactly who he was and what consisted of his purpose in this world.

   Save the cursed ones. Assist those afflicted by the worse.

   She had sensed some of it in Berwick Hollow when she had first laid eyes on him, but this time, it was all there within her. And her heart burst with longing for such a selfless tragic man. Everything in her wanted to take away his burden.

   And without the laws that governed their coven, she could have done it. Right here where she dwelt so close to his essence, she had enough powers to remove it all. The memory of Emmeline Dubois' turning, the guilt over it.

   Temptation to release him from his intense remorse lay just at the edge of her fingers. It would take just a mere few words and he would be free.

   Remember who you are, little one. The Thibodeau's ancestors whispered within her. An ye harm none.

   She bit her lip hard. Pushed her wish away. She would not intervene. She would not alter who he was. No matter how much she wished it.

Meet the Order of the Black Oak: a powerful order of modern-day warriors fighting evil to protect the ones they love.

Son of an ancient vampire and a legendary French witch, guilt-ridden Mont-Royal Immortal Valerian St-Amand must team with a powerful New England witch to protect his city from a crazed scientist seeking immortality. But as his well-guarded heart softens for Maisie Thibodeau, their quest to eradicate true evil from the streets of Montreal destroys any hope of everlasting love.

If you love loyal tough guys with hearts, satisfying slow-burn paranormal romance and safe Happily Ever Afters, then the Black Oak World is for you.

Release Day Blitz: Cruel Infatuation [Underground Kings 03] by Kelli Callahan!

It was shocking how quick love could turn to hate.
In a matter of seconds my life went from perfect to ruined.
Trust became a mythical, make believe fairy tale.
Eight-years of my life was destroyed because I trusted the wrong person.

I wouldn’t be making that mistake again.

At least, that was what I told myself.
Life got lonely.
And I fell in love with someone I had never met.
Online.

She lived across the country. That was so much easier than dealing face to face.
It didn't make the relationship real.

Until she showed up on my doorstep.
Not looking a day over eighteen.
Telling her to hit the road was easy,
The Cruel Infatuation was not.

Then another surprise showed up.
And my life was on the brink of going up in flames yet again.

Release Day Blitz, Review & Giveaway: God of Monsters [Juniper Unraveling 04] by Keri Lake!

Publication date: 22nd September 2020

Paperback edition: -

Source: Kindle
Rating: 5 stars
Synopsis: I’ve heard stories about the Alphas. Violent soldiers, bred to kill both humans and mutations, whose sole purpose was to balance our survival against the infected.

Until they turned on their masters.

Held as subjects of the Calico research facility, they were forced to endure the gruesome experiments that transformed them into callous savages with hearts as impenetrable as their defenses. More terrifying than the monsters that decimated our world with disease and famine.

In the aftermath of Calico’s collapse, many of the Alphas fled, only to be hunted by our own Legion army. And in their absence, the balance has shifted.

I thought they no longer existed.
Until I met him, the god of monsters.
Now I don’t believe in the stories anymore.

To fall in love with the unyielding heart of an Alpha is said to be impossible.

But to fall in love with a god would be a tragedy.

I read the other three books in this series near the end of last year and I fell in love with each book and all the characters! I have to be honest and say that I thought that the third book was the final book, so I was really happy when I got to the end of the third book and a fourth book was announced! I very patiently waited for this book and squealed when I got an ARC! After reading, I can say that this book was everything I wanted and more! The plot did start in a direction that I wasn't expecting, but it gripped me and made me desperate to find out what was going to happen next! I also loved the romance between the two main characters and that it actually took a while for a relationship to start between them! There was also plenty of action and suspense in the plot and it just got better and better! The characters were also amazing and made this book even better! Thalia was the main female character, and in this book my heart went out to her because she was passed from one dangerous person to the next and she really wasn't sure how to handle it all! Thalia was a strong character though and she learned a lot about defending herself and how strong she could really be! I loved Thalia and I loved watching her grow in this book! She stood up to her love interest as well and helped him a lot! Titus was the main male character and love interest of Thalia! Titus was in some of the other books in this series, so I couldn't wait to read his story and see what happened next for him! I felt for Titus in this book because he wasn't in control and he wanted to be free! Titus was also kick-ass and he could look after himself! He had been through a lot as well! I also loved Titus with Thalia! They did play off each other well and they had a lot of love for each other! This book was mainly written from Thalia's point of view, but the prologue and epilogues were written from Titus's point of view! I was kinda expecting this because the other books were written from the female characters point of views! I loved that the majority of this book was written from Thalia's point of view because she went through a lot on her own, but I would have loved to have went inside Titus's head a bit more because was such a complex character! I'm really sad that this book is a standalone because I loved the characters, but the ending was left at the perfect place for the characters and it summed up their story and showed how far they had come! It also wrapped everything up! I'm really happy that the author is planning to write more standalone books with a similar genre to this series! This is the first adult dystopian series that I've read and it's one of my favourite series', so I can't wait to read more books! I'm not sure of a date for more books, but I'll definitely be anticipating the next book's release and I can't wait to read more books from this author as well! I've read a few of her books, so I can't wait to read more! The cover for this book is also seriously hot! I loved it as soon as I saw it and I love how well it suits the other covers for the series! It would definitely draw me to the book as well if I hadn't already read the other books lol!

Book Blitz & Giveaway: The People We Meet Along The Way by Beth Rinyu!

Excerpt!

   “I just wish you didn’t hate me so much.” I concentrated on the coffee in my cup as I swirled the wooden stirrer round and round.

   “I don’t hate you,” I said, focusing my attention back to him. “I hate what we did. I hate that I let it define who I was for so long, and I hate that I hurt someone I cared about so much because of it. But I don’t hate you—you were just one of the many cracks in my life.”

   He creased his forehead. “I don’t understand.”

   I gazed at him long and hard, finally fearless of the shame the man staring back at me conjured up inside of me. He held no control over me, and he never had. I stood up and pushed my chair in as he sat there waiting for an explanation. “And I wouldn’t have expected you to. Goodbye, Jonathan.”

Would you be able to grant the same forgiveness to someone else that you’re so desperately seeking yourself?

Jillian O’Rourke’s marriage died long before her husband’s tragic accident. Years of battling with infertility and demanding careers melted their once solid relationship. Bearing the burden of guilt over his death, Jillian gets lost in despair and a series of what ifs. But one chance encounter with a stranger, changes everything. Now being faced with newfound knowledge and a painful decision, Jillian must push past her anger, learn to forgive and open her heart in ways she never could’ve imagined. As she comes to grips with the devastation of her past, she learns to embrace the possibility of a future she never thought possible. A bittersweet story of love, forgiveness, and the unexpected destiny that is sometimes handed to us in life from the people we meet along the way.

Ever since I can remember, I have always enjoyed Creative Writing. There was always something about being able to travel to a different place or become a different person with just the stroke of a pen - or in today's world a touch of the keyboard. I love creating deep characters who you will love or love to hate.

My life is not as interesting as my books or the characters in them, but then again whose life is? My happy place is a seat by the ocean with my feet in the sand or on the busy streets of New York City. You will more than likely find one of these places as the setting for most of my books.

Book Blitz & Giveaway: A Game of Fate by Scarlett St. Clair!

Excerpt!

   What troubles you, my king?” she asked as he approached. “Is it Minthe? May I suggest lye to remedy the situation? It is quite painful when swallowed.”

   Hades raised a brow. “Murderous thoughts already, Hecate? It isn’t even noon yet.”

   She smiled. “I am more creative at night.”

   Hades chuckled, and they fell into a comfortable silence. Hades, lost in his own thoughts. Hecate, staring at the moon. After a moment, she asked him again, “What troubles you?”

   “The Fates,” he said.

   “Oh, the besties. What have they done?”

   “They have given me a wife,” he said, raising both his brows. “Demeter’s daughter.”

   Hecate laughed and quickly covered her mouth with her hand at Hades’ arched glance.

   “S-Sorry,” she said, and cleared her throat, composing herself. “Is she horrible?”

   “No,” Hades said. “That’s probably the worst part. She is beautiful.”

   “Then why are you so glum?”

   Hades explained the trajectory of his evening in as few words as possible—Aphrodite’s bargain, seeing Persephone for the first time, realizing his primal reaction to claim her was unusual, and uncovering the thread that connected them.

   “You should have seen how she looked at me when she realized who I was. She was horrified.”

   “I doubt she was horrified,” Hecate said. “Surprised, perhaps—maybe even mortified if her thoughts were anything like yours.”

   Hecate gave him a knowing look, but Hades was not so sure. Hecate had not been there.

   “I have never known you to back down from a challenge, Hades.”

Hades, God of the Underworld, is known for his inflexible rule, luxurious night clubs, and impossible bargains. Used to control, he is not prepared to discover the Fates have chosen his future wife and Queen—Persephone, Goddess of Spring.

Despite her attraction to the god, Persephone, an ambitious journalism student, is determined to expose Hades for his cruel and ruthless ways.

Hades finds himself faced with the impossible—proving his future bride wrong. Regardless of his efforts, there are forces who wish to keep the two apart and Hades comes to realize he will do anything for his forbidden love, even defy Fate.
