#BookReview: Somewhere to Stay (Someone, Somewhere #1) by Grace Turner

ABOUT THIS BOOK:

How long can a person resist temptation? Especially when it’s living under the same roof.

Theo Wilde had nowhere to go. A junior in college with no money to his name, he had no choice but to take his best friend, Ryder Calaway, up on his offer: to stay with him and his mom in Ryder’s childhood home. 

The idyllic suburban neighborhood was the last place Theo expected to end up. And the last place he wanted to be. 

Until her.

Natalie Calaway didn’t hesitate when her son asked if his best friend could stay with them for an indefinite period of time. All she knew was his name—Theo—and that he had nowhere else to go. Still, she wouldn’t say no.

Until she laid eyes on the man who invaded her house and realized she probably should have. 

Two seconds in, and she already regretted her decision. Especially when Ryder receives the internship offer of a lifetime across the country. Leaving Theo and Natalie living alone. 

And alone is a scary place to be. 

Alone together, it’s harder—nearly impossible—to resist the intense, ever-growing attraction between them. Even if it’s bound to end horribly. Even if it’s messy and forbidden and wrong.

#BookTour: Through the Storm by Ikwumma Ogbuagu @RABTBookTours

 

Nonfiction / Journal / Cancer

 

A breast cancer journal. I really wanted the journal to be full of life and colourful. The illustrations made it come to life, I find them so inspiring and I hope you do as well!

This book has been a genuine labor of love. It is full of purpose and hope. Everything you see is my vision come true. Cancer threatens everything you believed to be true, I had my chemo-port removed and flew to Atlanta later that day, on the flight back, I believe it was a 6AM flight, all I wanted to do was sleep for the 2 hour flight.  Instead, this idea for a bookmark started forming in my head. I figured lots of people read in waiting rooms and chemo suites etc., so it made sense to create bookmarks with little quips to lift the spirit during these waits. Well, the ideas were flowing so fast that I couldn’t write fast enough and I had no paper, so I wrote on the plane barf bag (I still have it). It became apparent I had a lot more to say than a bookmark could hold. I still plan to make bookmarks some day soon.

I have included prompts for questions to ask. Symptom trackers to report to providers. Daily prompts to do something intentionally kind and uplifting in small bites because some days are really tough and it becomes difficult to remember the amazing person you were prior to a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. I am truly proud of it. There is a prayer/meditation script written by one of my dearest friends who chose words that can resonate with anyone regardless of faith or the absence thereof and in any tough life situation. There is a feature to track daily water intake and so much more.

#ReleaseBlitz for The Secret Hook-Up by Pippa Grant @GiveMeBooksPR

Title: The Secret Hook-Up

Author: Pippa Grant

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Tropes: Second Chance/Secret Fling/Auction

Release Date: August 1, 2024

BLURB

You’d think nearly dying trying to get out of a too-tight gown in a dressing room and being saved by a strong, competent man was a good thing.

Not so much, though, when that strong, competent man is your ex. Your secret ex.

And the reason you need a gown is because you’re part of a charity auction.

The charity auction where he gets into a bidding war to win you.

And now, because you’re one of few female coaches in professional baseball, and he’s the captain of the local professional hockey team, and he paid a ridiculous sum of money for you…

The entire city is shipping you. You can’t leave your apartment without getting a knowing wink from strangers. Your bosses want to use the publicity to have you jointly launch a new community outreach program.

That’s bad enough. It truly is.

But even worse?

Duncan Lavoie, the green-eyed, curly-haired, dimple-cheeked, hot as lava hockey player wants a second chance. And he’ll play dirty to get it.

The Secret Hook-Up is a laugh-out-loud romcom featuring the hot-as-sin hockey captain of the Copper Valley Thrusters, the Copper Valley Fireballs’ lady baseball coach he never got over, and a misbehaving formal gown. It stands alone and comes complete with a happily-ever-after.
