Darius

She’s a f**king menace.

She has no regard for her safety and dances along the tongue in the mouth of danger.

A loose cannon who torments me day in and day out.

She thinks I can’t rise to meet her challenge. She thinks I don’t know what goes on in that beautiful head of hers.

But she’s sorely mistaken.

Mistaken about who exactly she is to me.

Mistaken about how much danger she’s in.

And mistaken about what I can take.

Challenge f**king accepted.

Antoinette

It’s adorable really. How tough, “Mr. Clark Kent”, thinks he is, in his starched shirts and cashmere sweaters.

A bore to his core, he’s my favorite target of torment. I love to push his buttons and see how far I can take it.

But something about him calls to me.

Somehow I know there is more to him than meets the eye.

What will it take to make him loosen that tie and release the beast?

What harm can it actually bring?

I intend to find out.

Book 1 in the Ends Duet, please check TW/CW.

#CoverReveal: The Ripple Effect by @callyjackson @XpressoTours



The Ripple Effect
Cally Jackson
Publication date: September 14th 2023
Genres: Adult, Romance, Time-Travel

The Time Traveller’s Wife meets The Butterfly Effect in this touching, heart-felt love story.

When Caitlyn Richter turns twenty-one, she begins having strange, unsettling episodes: pins and needles in her hands, a rushing noise in her ears, and a blinding light obscuring her vision. After a bad episode, Caitlyn finds herself somewhere different, with no idea how she got there. To her horror, Caitlyn learns she has inherited a disorder that causes her to travel back and forth in time uncontrollably, and to make matters worse, one small change to the past can have massive consequences for the present.

Caitlyn quickly realises she must do whatever it takes to leave the past unchanged. But that’s easier said than done, especially after she meets Toby Beech, an attractive 1980’s carpenter who wants to spend as much time with her as possible, and who she finds herself falling in love with.

Caitlyn has two choices. She can force herself to stay away from Toby and keep her life in the present intact. Or she can follow her heart and risk the ripple effect wreaking havoc on everything and everyone she loves.

An impossible decision. An ill-fated love.

An incredible story you don’t want to miss.

A Slow Burn Sports Romance

Author: Dawna Raver
Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance
Trope: Sport Romance
Release Date: July 20, 2023


BLURB

These polar opposites are either racing toward happily ever after, or an epic crash…

Landon Wilde has plenty of bad choices and regrets in his rearview—not the least of which is his former career as an adult-movie star. But now, he’s behind the wheel of a race car where he belongs, and he’ll do everything he can to stay there. Getting involved with a sweet-but-sexy good girl probably isn’t in his (or her) best interest. So why can’t he stay away?

Georgiana Rutledge is neck-deep in a crisis of faith. Her famous televangelist mother does not practice what she preaches, and Georgie’s tired of the hypocrisy. She needs some time away from it all to regroup. Being with a known bad boy probably isn’t going to give her the clarity she needs in her life, and yet, she can’t seem to walk away.

Two lonely souls, each broken in their own unique ways, might be able to mend their emotional wounds together. The only real question is if the cost of Landon and Georgie’s happily ever after is one they’re both willing to pay…

Racing Wilde is a STANDALONE novel and part of the Playing For Love series that can be read in any order. If you like steamy, angsty, slow burn sports romances, then Landon & Georgie’s story is for you.

#BookBlitz: The Dead-Honest Truth According to Tazz by Anja Hovik Stromsted @RABTBookTours




 

Literary Fiction

Date Published: May 30, 2023


photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

 

This young female narrator, by the name of Tazz Iverson, will convince you that there are unorthodox paths to triumph, even thru gloomy, violent, and wildly unreasonable circumstances, especially those your parents, teachers, or anyone who is supposed to care won’t vouch for. Dead-honest as she is, she will likely make you laugh out loud and challenge you at your core.

Having left her home country, friends and family, and her acceptance to a creative writing course, she searches for fulfillment and revolution against practically everyone, in a holiday resort in Scotland. Her growing contempt, unrecognized brilliance, and unfulfilled gifts and desires send her from one shithole to the next. There is a straightforwardness to the narration that makes us really understand her when no one else does, which makes this character study so engaging. This is not an easy character, but the honesty she gives us is handed right to the reader with the stomach to discuss it.

#ReleaseBlitz for Guarding the Crease by @GKBrady_writes and @GiveMeBooksPR








Title: Guarding the Crease
Series: Playmakers #9
Author: G.K. Brady
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Opposites Attract/Sports Romance
Release Date: July 12, 2023


BLURB

The knight charging to her rescue is the last person in the world she wants to see. Now she owes him, and he’s ready to collect.

When Serena Lambert finds herself in danger, a knight in shining armor charges out of the darkness to her rescue. More shocking than his appearance in the nick of time is the knight himself: Wyatt Tompkins, the copper-haired star of her work nightmares. Just when the Colorado Blizzard’s PR director thought she was finally rid of the biggest pain in her butt and his outrageous tabloid shenanigans … But what’s the saying about bad pennies always turning up?

Being a famous NHL goaltender comes with a lot of perks, on and off the ice, and Wyatt has taken advantage of every single one. But when he becomes the NHL’s most infamous netminder, he loses more than the fringe benefits—he forfeits his roster spot. He wants back in. Sadly, the one person who can help him salvage his image and his livelihood has written him off, despite his heroics.

Wyatt needs Serena’s seriously savvy PR skills, and he’s not beyond leveraging the payback. He’s even willing to overlook her prickly exterior to get her on his side. After all, she’s already familiar with his brand of crazy … and it doesn’t hurt that she’s easy on the eyes. Oh yeah, he’d love to get her between the sheets, but what begins to intrigue him even more is taking a deep dive into her guarded psyche.

Serena is focused on launching her career into the stratosphere and making herself indispensable to the team—as soon as she overcomes a conniving coworker. Helping Wyatt will only steal time and energy from her goal, but she can’t deny that more sizzles beneath his roguish smile. Bit by excruciating bit, Serena peels back the layers to reveal the real heart beating beneath the goalie gear.

Oil and water don’t mix, though … they merely leave an oil slick. Can these two find the right blend and net their happily-ever-after?
