Caroline's Review

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I have so much love and affection for Maggie and Shay! 💜 "I wanted her to keep looking at me forever, couldn't get enough of being seen by her." This was such a gorgeous story! I first read this on the author's Patreon platform and then decided to read the full story again as a finished novel. I loved the intense connection between Maggie and Shay long before they ever actually interacted with each other. Once they did, I loved the way the author got around Shay's muteness and Maggie's dyslexia to enable them to communicate to the fullest. Shay was a beautiful man. I adored how well Maggie 'heard' and understood him. In turn, his gentleness, thoughtfulness and kindness towards Maggie melted my heart. The desire and attraction between them was tangible and electric. "When he drew back, our eyes connected, and I knew we were thinking the same thing. I was his, irrevocably. And he was mine." This was such an inspiring story about overcoming disabilities and adversity, and finding love and beauty in the quiet places of the heart and mind. It was about connection, friendship and family. It was such a gorgeous, comforting read from an author who is longtime favourite of mine. Can't wait for Rhys' story.

BLOG TOUR & REVIEW: Nun Too Soon by Lissa Sharpe & Smartypants Romance

Title: Nun Too Soon
Series: Bad Habit Book Club, #1
Author: Lissa Sharpe
Release Date: 18 April 2024

★★ BLURB ★★

Helen is just your normal, everyday librarian who writes romance novels on the side… except she also happens to be a former nun, new to life outside the order and to the dating scene. Helen isn’t just a virgin in her 30s– she’s never had a boyfriend, never kissed anyone, never even so much as held someone’s hand. Becoming a nun was always her path, until it wasn’t anymore, and trying to forge a new path in life has been…tricky.

What isn’t tricky? Her unrequited crush on the handsome library patron that Helen and her friends have affectionately nicknamed ‘The Red Unicorn’ -- a man who loves to read, looks great in glasses, and has red hair, aka Helen’s dream man. But the idea of dating is still intimidating, so Helen prefers to daydream about Thad from afar, turning him into her perfect romance novel hero.

Thad is far from perfect, not like the smart, sexy librarian he’s been surveilling. Thad is a bounty hunter who’s determined to find Helen’s brother, Dean, and he’s certain Helen is the key to tracking Dean down. Thad never plans to approach Helen or insert himself into her life–until it becomes clear he’s not the only one looking for Dean. The other people after him are bad news, and Helen’s going to get caught in the crossfire if Thad doesn’t intervene.

As Thad and Helen work together to find Dean, they actually get to know each other, soon realizing that the perfect, ideal versions they have of each other couldn’t be more wrong…but that who they are together might actually be just right.

'Nun Too Soon' is a full-length contemporary romance and can be read as a standalone. Book #1 in the Bad Habit Book Club series, Seduction in the City World, Penny Reid Book Universe.

Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I couldn’t put this book down!! Totally addicted to it.

"The air between us is charged with an intense electric current, making everything sharper and brighter."

Helen Flanagan, 31, former nun, virgin, librarian, prefers to wear oversized clothes that cover her from the neck down, blushes easily and has no idea that she's a walking thirst trap.

"I don't know how or why she has this power over me, but it feels like I lose control of myself whenever I'm with her, like everything is weighted and meaningful in a way I don't totally understand."

Thaddeus Hughes, roughly the same age, former reality TV star, bounty hunter, loner, unprofessionally attracted to his target, but needs to get close in order to hunt down her rogue brother.

"You're playing with fire, Helen. If you want something from me, you can't trick me into doing it. You have to be the one to say it."

These two had tension for days, certain levels of mistrust due to their own personal hangups and disappointments, and chemistry that thrilled the pants off me! I 'heart' them so much. I loved how Thad just found everything about Helen so adorable. I liked the sensitivity he showed towards her, even though sometimes it annoyed her. Helen was awkward, direct and so blinking cute! I cheered her on as she grew from naive little kitten - tired of people making decisions for her or taking advantage of her to - into a roaring lioness - a woman who knew what she wanted and wasn't shy about it. This story was wonderful, heartfelt, so sexy and funny!

REVIEW TOUR: The Wallflower & The Running Back by Ginger Scott

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤 by USA Today bestselling author Ginger Scott is NOW AVAILABLE!!

What to expect:

💙Opposites Attract

💙Tutor/Athlete

💙Fake Dating

💙He falls first

💙Football

💙College Life

💙All the spice!

Blurb:

I was supposed to be bumping shoulders with the best and brightest in chemistry at a London University. Instead, I’m bumping into the shoulder pads of Tiff U’s star football player. And I’m his tutor.

I’ve never had many friends. The only one I thought I could count on ended up stealing my scholarship—and then my boyfriend. Now, instead of spending my fall semester abroad, I’m stuck here in Iowa, with zero funds and even less hope that I’ll get to study abroad at all before I graduate this spring.

Even worse? My mentor asked me to take on the impossible—tutoring arrogant running back Logan Ford and helping him finally pass Chem 101. Apparently, the team needs him, and the governing board is cracking down on letting grades slide for athletes. Normally, I’m all for accountability. Except now getting him to pass is my problem. And everyone on campus is looking to me—Rachel Edwards, chemistry genius, bonafide introvert—to get it done.

I’m about to give up before I start. But then I get a crazy idea. What if I can get Logan to be my date for the winter science ball? The one where the honors students compete in a pool for massive cash for the one who lands the hottest hottie on campus. Tiff U athletes have their fun, and we have ours too. It just doesn’t get the same attention. Probably because nobody has ever walked into the ball with someone like Logan Ford.

Last year’s pool got all the way up to five grand, enough to pay for my semester abroad. But can I really land the running back? And if I ask him to pretend in exchange for passing his class, can I handle the way he looks at me, touches me, makes my insides incinerate like a chemical reaction?

And what happens if I forget that none of it is real?

*Dual POV spicy new adult sports romance

Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Gorgeous, sexy read. One of my favourites of the year!

"I knew she'd make a difference. Instinct told me. But I also wonder if there was a part of me that wanted to reason to talk to her. We've never had the occasion."

When Logan Ford needs a chemistry tutor, unbeknownst to her, he specifically requests Rachel Edwards. They (literally) bumped into each other on the first day of freshman year, but up to now - their senior year - have never crossed paths. However, he's a popular football player and she's one of the brightest students in their year, so they're not unaware of the other.

"I'm always out of place. It's why I thrive on the edge, just out of the picture. It was nice to have you there with me."

Oof! The chemistry and attraction between Logan and Rachel was unreal! I loved how all of Rachel's preconceived ideas about Logan were smashed by the reality of him. He was so much more than some dumb jock. Rachel had suffered a major blow just before she was paired with Logan and he was a real balm to her self-esteem - the thrilling thing was that his desire for her was genuine. She was a major chemistry nerd and would have rather hidden in her dorm room and binged her favourite TV show rather that go a frat party, and I liked how Logan brought her out of herself.

"I don't think I've ever wanted to be so completely owned by someone in my life."

In turn, when Rachel got to know him, Logan showed her a side to himself that was smart and sensitive. He understood her and her insecurities so well. I thoroughly loved that there was no major bust up between them - purely because Logan refused to let her hide herself away and avoid hard conversations. I adored that they had each other's backs, truly valued each other's career aspirations, and the ending was one hundred percent swoonworthy! A first class romance!

BLURB

For years, tales of the Firefly Man were nothing more than elaborate rumors spread by residents in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Until the night Evelyn Vaughn stumbled upon a dead body in the woods.

Fear gripped her, and silence stole her voice.

All while she watched the boy she was with that night take the fall.

 

Fourteen years later, Evelyn is nothing more than a shell of her former self.

Her life moves like a clock, from one moment to the next, never a surprise.

Gone are the days of chasing fireflies through the woods.

Until her therapist goes missing and he’s replaced with someone new.

Dr. Lincoln Reed.

A devastatingly handsome single dad with an intensity behind his evergreen eyes that jolts her back to life.

 

Or does it?

 

Evelyn is quickly losing grip of the suppressed reality she’s worked so hard to live.

With every new session on Dr. Reed’s couch, comes a startling new revelation that has her past awakening like the sparkles of light she used to chase through the Appalachian woods.

 

The Firefly Man was supposed to be a rumor, a fable, a spooky tale.

But Evelyn remembers the truth.

He’s her very own phantom.

And he’s back.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Dr. Single Dad by Louise Bay

DR. SINGLE DAD
Louise Bay
Release Date: April 11

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

Unexpected fatherhood, a newborn daughter and a nanny in the next bedroom he can't stop fantasizing about.

When a one-night stand announces I just became a father to a baby girl, my world is thrown into turmoil.

My choice: single fatherhood or sign adoption papers.

The decision is easy.

Within hours, I'm on a plane to collect my daughter.

I’m in over my head. I barely know one end of a baby from the other. Luckily, I have the perfect plan. I’ll hire live-in help, have limited involvement with the kid, and keep my life just the same as it’s always been.

I finally find a nanny who lives up to my exacting standards. But the only problem is, every time I look at her, the future I thought I wanted starts to crumble.

Nothing in my life is going according to plan… and the wriggling poo machine in my arms is unexpectedly worming her way into my heart.

Life was ordered and logical until I got myself two roommates and started falling in love with both of them.

A standalone romance.

Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

What a lovely read!

"She has a lot to lose. All I can see is everything we have to gain."

Dax Cove never wanted to be a father - he was focused on his research work at the hospital and determined to make a difference. When life throws him a curveball, he feels a duty of care to bring his baby daughter home and give her his name and a roof over her head. He intends on having nannies raise her. Then Eira Cadogan comes into his life.

"In terms of you, I want more. In every sense.”

I loved this story so much! Eira was very Mary-Poppinesque! She was a remarkable young woman with a heart of gold. She was so capable, efficient, and resourceful. She bore her responsibilities with sensibility and stoicism - always doing what was best for those she loved - sometimes at the sacrifice of her own personal contentment. My heart truly melted at all the ways she helped Dax and baby Guinevere build a bond. We saw it in the way Dax behaved without him even realising what was happening. Dax was a solid guy. He had a strong sense of duty himself, as long as he could stay focused on his work. However, I loved how he came to realise that his life was all the richer for having Guinevere and Eira in it. Their chemistry was an entity of its own! Their sexually charged moments were thrilling and hot!

I loved seeing all the Cove clan one last time as this series comes to a close. It's been a wonderful treat seeing all the Cove men fall in love and have such strong role models in their parents, Carole and John. John was such a hoot - loved how much they supported and loved their boys and their partners. I'll miss them all!

COVER REVEAL: A Vengeful Occasion by Kristy Marie

 

Kristy Marie has revealed the covers for A Vengeful Occasion!

 

Releasing April 25, 2024

URBAN LEGEND.
RUTHLESS ATTORNEY.
HATEFUL BILLIONAIRE.

Tobias Hale is surrounded by rumors, most of which are true.

Underneath that three-piece suit is a cold, callous man who rules the
courtroom with an iron tongue. Judges hate him with the same
passion he hates me.

He hasn't always been that way, though.

We were once star-crossed lovers who sat by the water's edge--me 
wearing his jacket and him dreaming about a future far away from
my family--a place where I wasn't American royalty, only his queen.

I never thought I would see him again.

Years later, a chance encounter brings us face to face.

The sweet and compassionate man I once knew is long gone. The
man before me now is a vicious and calculated billionaire.

Once upon a time, he was my fairytale prince.

Now, he has become the legend everyone knows as
Tennyson--my husband, my killer.
