Bad Choices & Heartaches - Casey Diam


⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Bad Choices & Heartaches by Casey Diam is LIVE! Don’t miss this standalone new adult sports romance with all the feels. #One-click today!!




Ryker Stanley was a stunning specimen of a human, a creation that was aesthetically flawless. He is also a jerk.

 

I know he hasn’t always been this way—after all, we were once best friends, but when our friendship ended, I watched from the sidelines as he made a series of bad choices, and left dozens of broken hearts in his wake.

 

He has the looks, the charm, the girls, and as an elite football player, he’s heading off to college months earlier than anyone expected. I need to stay in Alpen Springs, to continue to train for the Olympics.

 

My timing might not be perfect, but I need to fix things with us, and if the fire in his eyes is any indication, nothing, including our clothes, will be immune to its heat. 

 

I don’t stand a chance of resisting. 

 

Conflicting goals and distance be damned . . . I am about to entrust my heart to my ex-best friend who is known for breaking them.

Bad Choices and Heartaches is the second title in the Alpen Springs series.  Ryker Stanley appeared in the first title in the series Can You Heart it, and I was eager to read his story.

Ryker and Gabby are both talented athletes in very different fields.

Ryker is a football player with a reputation both on and off the field.  He’s a complex, multifaceted character who has a lot of anger, resentment and deep seated vulnerability.  He’s intelligent, hardworking, and has a big heart desperate for love, under the brash exterior he displays to the world.

Gabby and Ryker were childhood friends until miscommunication, pain and lies caused them to become enemies.   She’s driven and determined to become an Olympic snowboarder.

Bad Choices and Heartaches is an emotional story with quite a few twists and turns.  The chemistry between Gabby and Ryker is undeniable, and whilst some of their actions were immature, overall they evolved and developed when it counted most.

She’s got her guard up.

Detective Avery Dahl finally has her life back on track after a painful divorce. She’s not going to risk her heart again, especially to a sexy veteran with heartbreak written all over him. Due to extenuating circumstances at an upcoming family wedding, she reluctantly agrees to bring him as her fake boyfriend—and soon realizes her mistake. Because Mason is as lethal with seduction as he is with a weapon, and keeps pushing her boundaries until her carefully constructed walls begin to crumble. Her instinct is to push him away, but when a mysterious enemy targets her, Avery has a choice to make. Face it alone, or take a risk and let him in.

He’s determined to get past it.

After a horrific accident ended his military career, Mason Gallant has struggled to fit into the civilian world. Now that he and his buddies are opening a business together in Rifle Creek, he’s finally found his footing again. But he never counted on meeting a woman like Avery. He can’t stop thinking about her, so when she needs help, he steps up. Except posing as her boyfriend makes things even worse—because he soon realizes he wants way more than just her body. Now that he’s seen the caring, sensual woman inside the tough cop, he wants to protect her from whoever is threatening her. As the attraction between them heats up, the danger escalates. Mason must prove to her that she can trust him with her heart as well as her life—or risk losing her to the bullet of a stone-cold killer.

Lethal Temptations is the second title in the Rifle Creek series.  Both Avery and Mason appeared in Lethal Edge and I was eager to read their story.

Avery Dahl is a detective and divorcee who has no interest in a relationship after the way her marriage ended.  She’s strong, resilient, and self-reliant, but also quite vulnerable.

Mason Gallant is a protective, sweet, driven and determined alpha, who has PTSD from his time serving his country and is struggling to readjust to civilian life.

The attraction between this pair is undeniable and they complement each other perfectly.  The chemistry between this pair is undeniable, and at times quite steamy.

I highly recommend Lethal Temptations if you enjoy an emotional romantic suspense with intrigue, danger and action aplenty. 



Imagine With Me - Kristen Proby





Imagine With Me by Kristen Proby is now live! 



Shawn O’Callaghan loves his job as a screenwriter almost as much as he loves his family. But this latest project could quite possibly test his patience beyond anything he’s ever had to endure. Generally unflappable, the author he’s thrown into the trenches with pushes every button he has. Sometimes twice. And it doesn’t help that he can’t stop thinking about her in ways that are anything but professional. But how can he help it? The redhead is gorgeous beyond reason—and utterly infuriating.

Bestselling author Lexi Perry is finally about to leave her mark on the world; after all, seeing her dark and dangerous words brought to life is a dream come true. Until she meets the man who is supposed to make that happen. From the minute they laid eyes on each other, it was clear there would be tension, but she had no idea how much until they got down to business. He obviously doesn’t understand her vision. Though she’s having trouble lately too, given all she can picture is what he looks like under his clothes and imagining what it would sound like if he talked dirty to her in that sexy Irish lilt of his.
If they can find a way to meet in the middle, this movie could be one for the ages. As could their love.

Imagine With Me is the fifteenth title in the With Me in Seattle series.

I originally fell in love with the Kristen Proby’s writing with the earlier titles in this series, and Imagine With Me felt like so similar to some of her earlier works.

Lexi Perry is an author and an introvert.  She’s quiet, shy and reserved and I could totally relate to her social anxiety.

Shawn O’Callahan is a charismatic and charming screenplay writer, who is also very headstrong, loyal and loving.

The banter between this pair starts off quite antagonistic, as they butt heads whilst turning one of Lexi’s thriller’s into a movie script.  As the title progresses the banter turns quite fun and flirty.

The sparks between this pair ooze from the page, and their story is both sweet and sexy, with scenes that are quite steamy.

Imagine With Me is full of twists and turns, and I fell in love with the O’Callahan family and look forward to seeing the rest of the siblings find their happy ever after.  I highly recommend this title if you enjoy a story with strong themes of family, friendship and love.


Stones Unturned - Taylor Danae Colbert







STONES UNTURNED

By Taylor Danae Colbert

Release Date: September 29

 

 

"We choose family, always."

 

As the only child of Georgia’s leading tech mogul, that motto has been our way of life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been groomed and primed to take over his role since I was fifteen. Ever the dutiful daughter, I’ve done everything to stick to the plan, even if the plan was never what I actually wanted.

 

But people lie. Stories change. Entire family histories are rewritten.

 

When tall, dark, and devastatingly handsome Derrick Thomas shows up with a photograph that shatters my world, I find myself following him 700 miles north to Meade Lake—the one place that might help me find answers.

 

Drowning in lies, I cling to Derrick’s every word, desperate for the truth. And somewhere along the way, I end up clinging to him, too.

 

Suddenly, I feel a change in the wind, a crack in all those concrete plans that were laid for me ever so carefully.

 

“We choose family, always.”

 

But after I find out what they’ve done, I realize that family isn’t always flesh and blood. Sometimes, family can be strangers. Sometimes, strangers can be family.

 

I just have to choose which one I want to call mine.

Stones Unturned is the second title in the Meade Lake series, and an emotional and captivating story.

Kaylee is a strong, resilient and loyal heroine, who is not entirely happy with her life, but doesn’t want to let her family down.  Her world is turned upside down when she discovers the depth of secrets and lies she been told her entire life is heartbreaking. 

The pain and betrayal she endures oozes from the page and I’m not afraid to say I shed a few tears.

Derrick is a sweet, sexy, and guarded hero, who will do anything for those he holds dear.

Kaylee and Derrick’s share a deep connection and their relationship is a sweet, sexy and slow burn romance.

I adore the tales of this small town and cannot wait for more of Meade Lake.  


Rifts and Refrains - Devney Perry




 RIFTS AND REFRAINS

Quinn is content to live in a world away from her family and the cage of her youth. Her only regret is leaving Graham Hayes behind without a goodbye. No matter how many sold-out stadiums she plays, no matter how many crowds sing her songs, his voice haunts her when the music stops.

When a family tragedy forces her to return home to Montana, she plans to leave the second she’s paid her respects. But seeing Graham again turns her life upside down. As a boy, he wasn’t able to make her stay. As a man, he might be her future.

Rifts and Refrains is the second title in the Hush Note series and I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect when I started reading Rifts and Refrains.  Quinn Montgomery did not come across as the most endearing character in Lies and Lullabies, but once again Devney Perry’s writing and characterization captured my heart. 

Quinn and Graham’s story is a second chance rock star romance. This pair grew up as neighbors and childhood sweethearts.  

Quinn returns to Montana after nine years of separation from her family.  The feelings of hurt, pain and bitterness oozes off the page.  Whilst heartbreaking at times, this title is also heartwarming, and be warned you will more than likely require some Kleenex. 

If you love a romance with a single dad and a strong, sassy female rock star drummer I highly recommend Rifts and Refrains.

Ice Hearts - Monty Jay

 




ICE HEARTS

By Monty Jay

Release Date: September 24


 

Behind every heartless woman is a little girl who trusted the world with her love to have it chew her up and spit her out.

No one knows that better than Aurelia Riggs.

Silver tongue matched with a golden appearance.

She is the notorious ice queen.

To protect her heart she has a set of rules.

No sleeping over.

No second dates.

No falling in love.

Someone should have really warned Nico of them, but honestly, would he have listened?

 

Nico ‘Southie’ Jett is the best forward in the league. Leading in points, shredding the ice, his control is unmatched.

After an earth-shattering loss, and one slip up hits the press, his spot on the Fury is in danger.

Nico needs someone to fix his image and quick, who else better than Chicago’s most exceptional PR agent?

The only problem is she avoids him like the plague.

Nico is determined to get underneath her skin in all the right ways.

He has Aurelia Riggs all to himself. She can’t run from him anymore.

The game is on, and he’s ready to melt Aurelia’s Ice Heart.

 

Ice Hearts is a standalone novel in the Fury Series and deals with sensitive subjects some may find triggering.

Ice Hearts is the second title in the Fury series, and follows on from Love and Hockey.  Aurelia and Nico both featured in Valour and Bishop’s story and I was eager to see how their story would come about.  I don’t think I was completely prepared for this heartfelt, emotional, raw, slow burn sports romance.

Nico is a professional hockey player and a gorgeous man both inside and out.  Whilst he’s a sweet, sexy, protective gentleman, he’s also an alpha to the core.  He’s confident and optimistic and completely driven and determined when he sets his mind to a goal.

Aurelia aka ‘Riggs’ has a reputation as an ice princess, but it’s all really a façade to keep everyone from getting too close.  She’s suffered from a traumatic and tragic childhood that has left her with emotional scars and she is constantly fighting the demons that reside in her mind.  She’s incredibly strong and resilient and more than once her plight bought tears to my eyes.

The banter between this pair is sassy, snarky, witty and flirtatious. But for me it was the deep and meaningful conversations that drew me into their story and made me feel connected to this pair.

Ice Hearts features characters that are not only well developed, but complex and whilst they may appear to be opposites, they balance out each other perfectly.  There is great vulnerability in this title and it touches on many mental health issues that many people can relate to, but it is also quite confronting, but broached in a compassionate and enlightening way.

Monty Jay has written another captivating title and I look forward to reading future additions to the Fury series.

Invisible Man, this for you, or someone else?” Duke asked, taking Dutch’s attention, and Dutch realized he was so lost to his thoughts, he was working on autopilot and hadn’t noticed he’d approached the register and laid down his books.

“Someone else,” Dutch answered.

“You read it?” Duke asked.

“Yeah,” Dutch told him.

“Whole world should read it,” Duke muttered, jabbing a thick finger against the screen of the tablet that stood in for a till.

“Yeah,” Dutch agreed. “Listen, you wouldn’t have any copies of The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas that haven’t been shelved yet, would you?”

Duke shook his head. “Not many givin’ up that book. We get one, you want me to call you?”

He could go to Barnes and Noble, easy.

With Tex as her barista, not to mention Indy and her crew all being the subject of those books that had been published, so folks came in all the time, Indy wasn’t hurting for customers, or cash.

Still, Dutch bought his books exclusively from Fortnum’s.

And he had a lot of books.

He had no idea why Fortnum’s was his go-to. It wasn’t about buying local or any of that other millennial shit.

Thinking on it, it was the fact he liked the vibe. 

It was the fact that walking in there was like walking into someone’s house. 

Like coming home.

To family.

Shaking off his thoughts, he agreed, “That’d be cool.” 

“You wanna stay for a cup o’ joe and a talk?” Duke asked, and Dutch hid his surprise.

The man hadn’t approached. Not in word or deed. 

There were the looks he gave Dutch, the ones he exchanged with Tex.

But he never said dick.

“No, got shit to do this afternoon,” he lied.

He had no shit to do that afternoon.

Or at all.

Ever.

“Boy—” Duke started.

“I’m not a boy,” Dutch bit.

His temper wasn’t usually short, but these days, it could be.

This was why Duke blinked.

He then said, “Son—”

“I’m not your son either,” Dutch returned.

“Right then.” Duke’s voice was no longer a friendly rumble. It was tight. “First, my age can’t have escaped you, considerin’ all this gray hair and wrinkles, so you are a boy to me, and you will be until you’re sixty and I’m dead. And second, any man’s a man at all, a man that’s younger than him and obviously struggling is his son. A son he looks after.”

Christ, was he not hiding it?

“I’m not struggling,” he lied again.

“Dutch—”

“Brother, just ring me up so I can get on with my day,” Dutch demanded.

Duke was silent a beat.

He then finished ringing him up, and Dutch paid.

“No bag,” he grunted.

Duke slid the books over the counter toward Dutch.

Dutch had turned, avoiding Tex’s eyes as he did, and started heading toward the door when Duke called, “You know that door is always open, but the one to my cabin in Evergreen is too, man.”

 

Wild Fire is a novella in the Chaos series featuring Dutch Black and Georgiana Taylor.

Dutch is the son of Keely and Graham Black and the stepson of Dutch, who is featured in Wild Like the Wind.

Dutch is Chaos through and through and the perfect blend of both Black and Hound.  He has a heart of gold, is king, caring, compassionate and thoughtful.  Dutch is quite headstrong, yet also honorable.

Georgiana Taylor and Dutch cross paths when he does a favor for his brother Jagger.   Georgiana is a sassy, fierce and passionate journalist.   She’s big hearted, but has strong views and is not afraid to speak her mind.

Wild Fire is a passionate, sweet, sexy and heartfelt read.  This pair of characters have an undeniable chemistry and connection, and I honestly wanted to see more of this pair.

Several past characters make cameo appearances throughout this title, and it’s left me even more eager for Jagger’s story next.
