About the Book

I know it’s time to move on from my rocky past and get back out there and start dating again.

It’s just that every time I think about it, I get all nervous and sweaty.

Good thing I have a secret weapon to help me—my best friend, professional hockey stud Owen Parrish.

He’s the king of hookups, and promises he’ll be my guide through the world of online dating. With his help, I know this won’t be as hard.

  • • •

I’ve never been this hard in my entire life.

My friend Becca wants my help hooking her up with some douchey guy from a dating app.

I said I’d help her—but now I’m noticing all kinds of things I can’t ignore, like how pretty she is behind those baggy clothes and messy buns.

I want to be the one to help her, to show her the ropes in the bedroom, and it turns out, Becca’s game to let me take a more hands-on approach.

But what happens when she’s ready to take her newfound confidence and move on? I’ve never been boyfriend material, but for her, I want to try.

Your favorite hot jocks are back with an all new standalone novel. If you like sexy, confident men who know how to handle a stick (on and off the ice), and smart women who are strong enough to keep all those big egos in check, this series is for you!

Doctor’s Orders by Emma Jaye (Arc) Review!

Doctor's Orders (Paint #3.5)Doctor’s Orders by Emma Jaye

 

 

                                                    “A Raw, Emotional, Beautiful Read”   

I loved this beautiful, sizzling, gripping, seemingly all-too-brief-of-a-story; a story filled with a dusting of the existence of such raw emotional heartache and deprivation, one that elicits such a desperate need for such heavy escapism.  Through multiple forms of attempted survival, an equally heartbreaking kind of connection with peace slowly blossoms into an overall sense of needed tranquility.  As this peace is shakily discovered, the yearning for peace and love slowly develops into an even stronger, beautiful and wonderful young man..a young man who carries with him such a bright and loving soul..  This story was simply amazing..

Even with such a short story, I can say that it took no time at all for me to absolutely love it, as I was pulled right into such a gripping storyline with super fantabulous characters.  I adore the main characters, Alex and Nate and their beautiful, gallantly gorgeous, jig-sawed, strong and loving relationship.  Regardless of a few snippets of British vernaculars and slight confusion, I am equally desperate for more of not only this particular storyline but also of their very own story as well.  I was actually glued to my kindle as the characters stuck together, also like glue, as they were all stunningly a part of such an amazing plot, portrayed perfectly by such a intrinsically beautiful colorful cover..

Despite it’s almost abrupt ending, possible triggers, and so many unanswered questions, Doctor’s Orders, by Emma Jaye, from it’s raw, traumatic and incredibly gut-wrenching hauntings to it’s heartwarming and nurturing moments and it’s squeeze-worthy men, has already made a comfortable place on my mind, and with their humorous and dedicated friends, Chris and Jase, they all have their own secure spots on my list of Future Reads.  I absolutely loved it..:)

*star rating: 4.50 ‘I really, really liked it’ stars*

People deserve a second chance, right? How about a third or fourth?

But what if I can’t even admit to myself who I am? I was truthful once before. I came out to one other person, and he left me broken and scarred. He destroyed the boy I was. I don’t even use the same name anymore; I go by Trent now. But I survived the streets. I got lucky and I made something of myself. I’m happy, sort of.

It’s Angelo who lights up my life. He’s my world. My rock and my family. He’s always there for me. But I keep hurting him. I say stupid things, and I always keep him at a distance. Still, he knows me better than anyone.

And I want him. But I can’t let myself go there. Not again.

I’ve lived in denial for so long and it’s killing me. In my weakest moments, I reach for Angelo and when he slips into my arms, I can breathe. He’s my solace. Selflessly, he’s there and he never expects anything in return. No judgment, not even an explanation. Having him in my arms is everything, and it’s getting harder to push him away. I’m not sure I want to anymore.

He doesn’t date, but he deserves to be loved. Cherished. Then he drops a bombshell—he’s found The One. I wish he’d fallen for me. I need that second chance to tell him. I need to risk it all because in his arms, I’m safe. I’m me.

My Truth, book 1

books2read.com/all-he-needs

By day Ann Grech lives in the corporate world and can be found sitting behind a desk typing away at reports and papers or lecturing to a room full of students. She graduated with a PhD in 2016 and is now an over-qualified nerd. Glasses, briefcase, high heels and a pencil skirt, she’s got the librarian look nailed too. If only they knew! She swears like a sailor, so that’s got to be a hint. The other one was “the look” from her tattoo artist when she told him that she wanted her kids initials “B” and “J” tattooed on her foot. It took a second to register that it might be a bad idea.
She’s never entirely fit in and loves escaping into a book—whether it’s reading or writing one. But she’s found her tribe now and loves her MM book world family. She dislikes cooking, but loves eating, can’t figure out technology, but is addicted to it, and her guilty pleasure is Byron Bay Cookies. Oh and shoes. And lingerie. And maybe handbags too. Well, if we’re being honest, we’d probably have to add her library too given the state of her credit card every month (what can she say, she’s a bookworm at heart)!

Truth by S.J. Sylvis; Release Blitz w/ Synopsis, Teasers, Exclusive Excerpt, Review, and, Giveaway!

Today we have the release day blitz of Truth by S.J. Sylvis! Check it out and be sure to grab your copy today!

Title: Truth

Author: S.J. Sylvis

Genre: Contemporary Romance

About Truth:

There’s only one thing that stands in the way of having my name stamped on a big, fat check trailing with several zeros.

And it goes by the name of Reid King.

What is a totally average elementary school music teacher doing standing in a tour bus with the King of Music? I have no idea, but for some reason, the stars have aligned and the universe thinks I’m the one who can to help him. That, somehow, Reid King and I can collaborate on an album together and make him the authentic, raw, soul-crushing singer that he once was.

Reid King thinks I’m in over my head.
Heck, even I think I’m in over my head.

But that check will solve all my problems, and nothing will stand in my way of getting it. Not Reid King, or his devilish smirk, or his soul-gripping voice, or his talented fingers that roam effortlessly over a guitar. Not even the steely glances he throws my way every three seconds.

I’ll get that money and save my family from years of heartache. And maybe… just maybe… I’ll save Reid from his heartache, too.

Get Your Copy Today!

Exclusive Excerpt:

I shook out my shoulders and crossed my arms, leaning against a pole, appearing unbothered at the way the spotlights above Reid’s head cast an almost angelic hue around his body. I ignored the way his high cheekbones and angular jaw looked like they were cut from granite, stealing the breath right out of my body. His dark-brown locks were shining and bouncing like he was in a commercial for some high-end shampoo line that I’d never have the pleasure of using. My mouth ran dry as Reid closed his eyes and stood straight as Jackson and Finn started up the hymn for the first set. It felt like Reid was sucking my soul right out of my body as his mouth opened and the first line was sung.

A raspy, soul-crushing, feel-it-all-the-way-to-your-toes sound filtered through his lips, and right then, I was completely swept away. I was mesmerized. Unspoken for. What his voice did to my body was unspeakable. Reid King was just that. A king. He was a king onstage. He commanded everyone’s attention. He sang from deep within, not only feeling his own words as he sung but also commanding everyone else to feel them, too. I felt Reid King in my core, in my entire being.

I couldn’t take my eyes away, and I couldn’t ignore the way his voice, paired with his steely appearance, made me burn all over.

Reid King was a cold man, but he had an unbreakable fire inside of him. He made me burn from the inside out with desire.

A desire to feel like him.

A desire to love like him.

A desire to break like him.

He had the curse that not many people had. He felt all too deeply, and he made others want to feel it, too.

Claudia Y. Burgoa

The first time I met Oliver Tanner he was five years old.
I was four.
That day he was entrusted to my keep.
He was as large and loud as a church mouse.
That day I taught him how fireflies were magic with the persistence of a person.
That’s what I loved about them.
No matter how far they strayed,
they remembered where they came from and who their family was.

After high school, he joined the army and left Knox Ridge.

Years later, the town had changed.
My dreams were shattered.
We had nothing left.
I had forgotten all about the magic of the fireflies.
Until he came back to town.
Everything about him was comforting.
He brought some light to my darkness,
But I knew the light could only last for so long.
Fireflies only stay for the summer.
He had outgrown our small town.
It was time for me to stop chasing fireflies.

Don’t miss out on this stunning, second-chance friends to lovers romance.

This full-length novel was originally published in the Cards of Love collection as a novella. It has been revised with additional scenes.

Goodreads / Amazon

EXCERPT:

I decide to bring up Ollie, preferring to deal with that than the topic of my sister.

“Did you hear that Oliver Tanner is back in town?”

She squints. “Why does that name sound familiar?”

“Josey Tanner’s son,” I say, unamused by her attitude.

Paige wrinkles her nose. “Little Ollie AWOL? Showing his face back here? That idiot?”

I hate when she refers to him as that. I hold back a frustrated groan. I don’t need more reminders of how he left me here—embarrassed and heartbroken.

It’s not like they were friends or anything, I think sarcastically. Then again, she’s always the first person to remind me that he broke my heart—twice.

“Yeah, that one,” I say dryly, regretting the subject. “He’s staying at the old Tanner place while he decides what to do with his life.”

“He’s going to f*** up my hydrangeas, isn’t he?” Paige says.

“So not the point,” I say.

“Is he as hot as I remember him?” she asks.

I smirk. Oliver is good looking. He has tousled brown hair, which is thick and lustrous. His eyes are a mesmerizingly deep brown, and flecks of amber light dance throughout them. Like fireflies. His face is strong and well defined. His features look like they were molded from granite. He has thick eyebrows, which slopes downward in a severe expression.

My stomach does a few flips as I remember his playful smile. My body shivers, remembering the tingles that his strong hands created when they touched me. They were rough but warm. And when those beefy arms wrapped around my body, it felt perfect.

His body was toned and inviting as he hugged me. Everything about him was comforting. His voice was deep and rich. We saw each other a couple of days ago, but I’m still thinking about him.

I’m done.

Getting ditched at the altar is nothing compared to being humiliated there in front of three hundred shocked guests. Apparently I’m no good at spotting the signs your man’s a cheating liar. So I set off solo on my honeymoon to Hawaii, where I realize I’ve got this life thing down just fine on my own.

Friendships and laughter? Yes.

Adventures? Absolutely.

But relationships? Hell no. Never again.

Knox

I’m a man of few words. My reputation as a moody prick is deserved, but only the handful of people who really know me see the man beneath the professional mask.

I’m a protector. A warrior. That part is true. But the world doesn’t get to see the rest of me. And women don’t seem to mind my gruff exterior—my bed’s always warm.

I’m content with life—loving it, even—or so I thought. But when I meet a beautiful pastry chef with a broken heart and a smile that softens me down to my soul, I realize I wasn’t really content at all before her.

I only wish I had the words to let her know.

Closer by Kylie Scott (Arc) Review!

Closer (Stage Dive, #4.6)Closer by Kylie Scott

 

                             

 

                                    “A Mysterious, Suspenseful, Heart-Warming Read”   

SQUEEE!  I always seem to love another surprise dose from the Stage Dive band as its members, with their family and friends, always seem to make it to the top of my list of grandiose bands with all of their shenanigans, sexiness and overall yumminess, regardless of whether they were the main characters, or whether they made squeal-worthy cameos.  I always make room for stories containing this band, as I continue to love their addicting world, a-k-a..this upcoming story.  #Yesplease

Closer, by Kylie Scott, has all the components of such a great read!  While on the shorter side, this novella has the same great writing, fantastic larger-than-life characters, humorous bantering, and sizzling heat-filled moments with a few surprising new additives as well.  Unlike other stories of this world, this particular one has more of a mysterious, suspenseful tone to it, which alone kept this reader glued to it’s pages, but, with the added nail-biting angst, it was impossible to even think about putting it down, until I finally came across the answer to that slowly developing unknown question….which in the end, all cohesively came together.

What a great addition to the Stage Dive world!  While I certainly would have liked more depth and development, because I just could not get enough of Ziggy and his super manly, former marine, ultra protective, yet so sweet, kind-of-tenderness.  And, Mae?  What another dose of fresh air!  Mae’s strong, down-to-earth, ‘I do not care if I eat chocolate for comfort’ kind-of-mentality, was fabulous!

It is no surprise that I kind of break for stories that contain quality storylines with a beyond addicting plot, stellar characters, and, memorable secondary characters as well.  Closer, by Kylie Scott, has all of this, and, in the end, all came together as such a heart-warming, humorous, mysterious, slightly-adrenaline filled, addicting read..and I really liked it….:)

*star rating: 4.30 ‘I really liked it’ stars*

Book synopsis:

 Never promise a life that isn’t yours to give.

New York City is decked out for the holidays, and Special Agent Patrick Collins is looking forward to a reunion with his old team when he gets assigned a new case. A human child is missing, and the changeling left in her place causes a prominent witch family to demand justice from the fae.

Meanwhile, continued harassment from the New York City god pack forces Jonothon de Vere to formally establish his own with Patrick. Doing so will mean a civil war within the werecreature community—a war they risk losing from the start without alliances. Making bargains with the fae is never wise, but Patrick and Jono have nothing to lose when a fae lord comes asking for their help.

The Summer Lady has been kidnapped from the Seelie Court, and if they can find her, Patrick and Jono will cement an alliance with the fae. But the clues to her disappearance are found in Tír na nÓg, and the Otherworld has never been kind to mortals.

Venturing past the veil, Patrick and Jono risk losing territory, time, and their very lives while searching for answers. Because the Queen of Air and Darkness knows they are coming—and the ruler of the Unseelie Court has an offer for them they can’t possibly refuse.

A Crown of Iron & Silver is a 107k word m/m urban fantasy with a gay romantic subplot and a HFN ending. It is a direct sequel to All Souls Near & Nigh. Reading the prior books in the series would be helpful in enjoying this one.

 

Exclusive Excerpt:

 Patrick turned to face the Wisterias and opened his mouth to speak. “I can call—”

The nursery window shattered as if a bomb had gone off, the home’s threshold buckling beneath the blow, but it didn’t break. Glass exploded through the room, the lights above going out, and Patrick reacted without thinking. He ripped his shields out of his body, expanding them to engulf the people around him. Arianna screamed and hunched over the baby whose real name Patrick still didn’t know.

The explosion allowed cold winter wind and rain to enter the home—but that wasn’t the only thing that came inside.

The roar of the wind twisted into screams as a deep cold filled the nursery. Patrick conjured up a mageglobe in his left hand while yanking free his gods-given dagger with the other. His breath puffed in the air from the cold, skin stinging from the supernatural chill.

Gliding into the nursery through the jagged hole in the building came the spirits of the restless dead.
