๐—•๐—Ÿ๐—จ๐—ฅ๐—• 

From USA Today Bestselling Author Jennifer Hartmann, comes a brand new, heartfelt, two-book romance series.

There once was a girl with fireflies in her eyes and music in her soul.

(Remember her… she’s important.)

She’s the reason I panic-bought the little brick house on Maple Street; the one I lived next door to for eight magical years. Now that I’m back digging up floorboards and lost journals, I canโ€™t stop thinking about the two people who grew up here.

You see, that girl was my best friend, and this house was once hers. She also had a big brother who was my everything before circumstance turned us into nothing more than memories.

Thatโ€™s why I applied for a job at his auto shopโ€”unprepared to discover that my new boss, Cal Bishop, is now gruff, built, and covered in tattoos.

I’m the sun to his overcast sky. The smile to his surly solitude.

A reminder of everything he longs to forget.

But my heart has a secret, and weโ€™re running out of time to fix our torn pages.

Maybe… the same girl who used to be the glue still holds the key to putting our pieces back together.

(See? I told you she was important.)

Toodles,

Lucy

Holy Moly! This author and her ability to flay my heart right open with her phenomenally unforgettable stories. Every single one that I read imprints itself on my heart and I find myself thinking back on them often. This story was no exception.

From the moment I started it I was intrigued with the way we started off. It was obvious there is lots of history, and heartbreaking circumstances just waiting to be revealed. The characters immediately capture me like beacons. Both for different reasons. Both still hurting and suffering from what all we just donโ€™t know yet. But what we can tell is that there is definitely a special connection between them, and their reactions to that draw towards each other is completely different.

Lucyโ€™s character made me feel so much. I laughed, I cried, I rooted for her, I hurt for her. Right now, I feel so much for her. Right nowโ€ฆ I am NOT OKAY!
Cal is everything I want in my book boyfriend. Heโ€™s gorgeous, heโ€™s tatted, heโ€™s mean yet protective. Heโ€™s all anti-relationship yet possessive AF. Heโ€™s hurt yโ€™all. And hurt people hurt people.

He frustrated me as much as he fascinated me. He could be intimidating, infuriating, but oh so enticing too. He put up this hard exterior but you can see hints of the ooey gooey center beneath. It will just take the right person to get him to expose those parts of himself.

I must warn you, If you are offended by cliffhangers in books then I must urge you to wait until 1/31/23 until both books in the duet are out. But If like me you donโ€™t mind feeling the burn, then jump head first into this duet ASAP!! I need book 2 immediately, I am ready to see what kind of HEA Author Jennifer Hartmann gives us. I just know itโ€™s going to be EPIC!!

The Hatesick Diaries Release Blitz & Review

Release Date: January 10

Echo Adler hates Reign Davidson. He’s the reason the love of her life left her all alone and broken hearted two years ago. 
 
So it should be easy to stay away. 
 
It should be easy to not dream about his dark and mean eyes, or his cruel but sexy smirks. It should be easy to not think about the guy who ruined her happily ever after. 
 
Only it’s not.
 
Sometimes his intense stares make her heart race, and those smirks of his make her breathless. 
 
But it needs to stop. 
 
Because she has a mission: to get back together with her ex-boyfriend. And Echo will be damned if she keeps dreaming about Reign. 
 
The guy who not only makes her sick with hate but who also happens to be her ex’s best friend.

NOTE: This is a standalone set in the world of St. Maryโ€™s.

Saffron A. Kent has done it again. She just has this special gift with her writing to immediately suck me into her stories. Her characters will undoubtedly snatch me up by my heartstrings in a fisted grip and I know they will put me through the wringer over and over before all will be said and done. OMG! This book Yโ€™all. From the moment I cracked it I was immersed, I was obsessed. I was instantly ADDICTED!!


It doesnโ€™t get better than enemies-to-lovers, but add in that heโ€™s the ex-boyfriends best friend. WOW!! The drama, angst and forbiddenness that it adds to this. Yes please!
Echo is the sweetest. She is beautiful and just good as gold. Like most of this author’s heroines sheโ€™s a bit quirky, adorably so. I love her. ๐Ÿฅฐ

Reign has always had a thing for Echo but really never really thought he deserved her. So when his best friend took a liking to her as well he stepped aside and let who he thought โ€œwas the better manโ€ go for her.

This book is such a rollercoaster of emotions. I went from my heart all a flutter, to furious, to fanning myself because itโ€™s freaking HAWT! ๐Ÿ”ฅ Then I was swooning, swearinโ€™, and shouting hot mess. This book had me feelings every emotion. All the thighs. Even at my lowest points in the book I wouldnโ€™t trade a second.

This is probably my FAVORITE of the series. Just Phenomenal, Fantastic, Terrifically Unforgettable. Fifth and final standalone book in the St. Maryโ€™s Rebels is not to be missed. I highly recommend the entire series but you absolutely cannot miss this one. I cannot wait for the spin-off series coming soon.

Dear Diary,

Iโ€™m going to do it. Iโ€™m going to run.
I have to, because I finally have something to live for.
When I first saw those two pink lines, it was a blow that stung harder than any slap or punch ever could. I was devastated. Iโ€™m not sure Iโ€™m fit to be a mother, but Iโ€™m damn sure going to protect this child from the monster down the hall. He will never know it existsโ€ฆ he will never lay one finger on my baby. Not ever.
Some might think the life growing inside of me would be a reminder of all Iโ€™ve lostโ€”of all of the pain Iโ€™ve endured, the hurt, and the terror. And in a way, theyโ€™re right, but it also gives me hope. Now I have somethingโ€”someoneโ€”to fight for.
Anxiously, Nora
__________________
Dear Diary,
I hope this finds you in timeโ€”that you can help me, that you believe me.
Please believe me…
I had to run sooner than plannedโ€ฆ heโ€™s too unpredictable. I canโ€™t take any unnecessary risks, not anymore, not when I have so much to lose.
Itโ€™s funny, I used to want to die, for him to hit me so hard I would never wake up, but now? Now I want to live. I have to live.
If youโ€™re reading this still, look for me in the place where the lake meets the shore. Iโ€™ll wait for you as long as possible. I understand if you canโ€™t come, or if you donโ€™t want to… but I really hope you do.
Desperately, Nora

Crew Taylor is the picture of perfection, if gruff, grumpy, and prone to throw a punch is your type. Clearly, itโ€™s mine or I wouldnโ€™t be begging him to bite the bullet and claim my virginity as his own. 

 

Sure, heโ€™s a bit of a caveman, broody and bossy and oh so naughty, but thatโ€™s sort of the point. 

Heโ€™s experienced, his heated hazel eyes promising sinful skills in seduction, and I want him to teach me all he knows. 

 

Lesson by lesson. 

Night after night. 

 

The problem? 

 

He says he wonโ€™t allow me in his bed โ€ฆ but I wonder what it would take to get him to play in mine a bit?

OMG!๐Ÿ˜ฑ I freaking loved this story. ๐Ÿฅฐ This is just the kind of story that is absolutely why I have one of the fastest one-click clicker fingers in the south. If Meagan Brandy writes I can almost guaran-damn-tee that It for sure is gonna be my jam. Crew and Davis just DID IT FOR ME! Off the charts explosive of course,  but this kept just throwing my feels in a whirlwind. I wasnโ€™t expecting that. Iโ€™m so used to the arrogant alpha holes in MBโ€™s books that the broken bad boy trying to overcome the past really put a hurtinโ€™ on this galโ€™s ticker. He melted me, made me swoon, made me pant. Everything about him just worked for me.

Davis was as sweet as candy and I loved how she felt about Crew. She was quirky and funny. ๐Ÿ’— Beyond beautiful both inside and out but with this innocence and radiance โ˜€๏ธthat people are drawn to. She truly had no clue of the attention she captured from the men around her. Probably partly because as long as she could remember she could only see one and one only and that was, Crew Taylor. After he left three years ago with no contact she decided that she had a issue that needed taken care of and he was the one she needed to take care of it. She just needed to convince him to help her out. Armed with all the pros and cons, can she get this grumpy new Crew to give in to her reasoning? ย 

It was emotional, swoony, forbidden, hot, angsty, and unexpected. You canโ€™t help but to fall in love with this couple. The banter, their history, the entire journey. Discovering all the twists and truth bombs, โ€œkindle chuckinโ€™ in a second of pure frustrationโ€ times, lip biting moments of angst. Plus a fantastic cast of secondary characters that I adore beyond measure. Here are just a few of the tasty morsels this genre smorgasbord will be bringing your way. ๐Ÿช๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฉ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿซ

The Love of My Next Life Release Blast & Review

 Release Date: September 8

I calmed his demons.โ€จ 

He created mine.


Macon Davis.

My best friendโ€™s brother.โ€จ

My tormentor.

My least favorite person.

Pothead. Delinquent.

A careless, directionless loser.


Thatโ€™s what I used to believe,

but I didnโ€™t really know him.

And when I finally saw him,

it was the best and worst thing to ever happen to me.


We burned hot and fast.

Passion. Anger. Love. Pain.

We were reckless. Naive.

We were doomed from the start.


When I finally saw Macon Davis for who he was,

We both went down in the flames.


***


โ€จThe Love of My Next Life is part one of a duet.

It is just as much a love story as it is a tale of ruin.

While the duet will end with an HEA, book one does not.

Book two is set to release in October 2022.

I am absolutely destroyed at the moment. This book gutted me. I wasnโ€™t quite sure what I was going to get when I started. As this is A- my first read by this author so Iโ€™m unfamiliar with her style, which I am discovering is a tragedy in itself because OMG where has Author Brit Benson been in my life the last few years?! And B- because other than the blurb that TBH I read a while back when I signed up to read this, I went in blind not really knowing too much of what to expect. Which turned out to be the way to go anyway.

Blind is best yโ€™all. My recommended way to go, always. Now, I had my assumptions based upon said blurb, butโ€ฆ You know what they say about assumptions and all!ย  Blurb had me thinking โ€œ okay, this is going to be the whole โ€œgood girl falls for an anti-hero thatโ€™s going to grow on us.โ€ and I can totally get on board with a good โ€˜ol enemies to lovers any day of the week and twice on Sundayโ€™s. I mean it was an enemies to lovers, and this book does take place in high school, but these were anything but your typical high school sweethearts. This book was unlike ANYTHING I have ever read. Original storyline with phenomenally written, flawed characters gave us an engaging and gripping story. Aย  gritty and realness that is sure to leave you emotionally raw long after the cliffy at the end leaves you breathless. I know it did me.ย 

From the very beginning I fell for Macon hook, line, and sinker. Heโ€™s so tantalizingly toxic, and I should be ashamed that Iโ€™m so twisted because I die harder for the toxic ones. But Iโ€™m not even a little ashamed.ย  Yes, he was definitely cruel at times, he was messed up, he was for sure trouble with a capital T. But he was also misunderstood, he was damaged, he was broken, self destructive,ย  hurt, and he was so much more than what people saw him for. It wasnโ€™t just the way people saw him, it was the way he saw himself.

He just made me feel everything. I wanted to simultaneously hit him upside his head to knock some sense into him and pull him to me and just hug him and heal all his hurts. He broke my heart, he melted my heart, he made me hot. Holy Hot Hell ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒถ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒถ did he ever make me hot. The ones withย  the bad egg rep yโ€™all, Iโ€™m telling you. They just do it for me. What is wrong with me? In real life my hubby is as straight-laced as they come.ย  Lol That’s probably why I like my fictional fellas fully fubarโ€™d! (Not completely. I do want him redeemable)ย ย 

Lennon is amazing. Sheโ€™s got a heart of gold, she is who she is and sheโ€™s comfortable with herself. She is creative, a rule follower, and selfless friend. Honestly she gets the short end of the stick sometimes because with most of the people in her life she doesnโ€™t stand up for herselfโ€ฆexcept with Macon. He seems to be the person in the world who can get her the most fired up. The way they verbally spar. He brings out this lively feisty spirited side to her that no one else sees. I can feelย  how she finds herself struggling with her feelings for him, it practically jumps off the pages. She is at war with everything. The things he does, the way he treats her, the things others have to say about the kind of person he is. It all weighs heavily on her mind.

But things start to happen and she finds herself around him more and more and she sees glimpses that there is so much more to him. All of these discoveries are breaking down her walls. However the more walls they tear down, the more life seems to throw back up in their way. I just connected with her character so deeply. The writer did such an amazing job I was so invested and emotional I had to take moments and remind myself that I wasnโ€™t actually there. I didnโ€™t need to throw down with anyone in real life to stand up for some injustice that was being done to my girl. I mean I could chuck my kindle, and almost did several times. I could cry, which I absolutely did. A lot. I could cuss, did that as well. But at the end of that chapter I pressed on. Until press on I could no moreโ€ฆand now we wait.ย ย 

My angsty frustration level is at an all time high. The tension between them is palpable.  I live for the kind of rush this book was giving me. This book is a catastrophic collision of every emotion under the sun. Past trauma, damaged hearts, addiction, forbidden love, secrets, mistakes, lies and betrayal rips through their lives. Told in dual alternating POV, book one in the Next Live Duet will leave you grasping the edge of your seat, tears in your eyes, wanting to IM the author immediately to demand book two, before I die of impatience. Can one actually die of impatience? I feel like I just might. But in all actuality this book is fantastic. While it is full of sensitive content. It is beautifully written, the parallels to real life make it tragically devastating especially given where it has left us at this point. I am also filled with a smidge of hope. Deep in my core I believe in true love and I believe these two are inevitable soul mates. But I think they ( and us readers) will be put through a gut-wrenching journey, the likes of one which we wonโ€™t recover from immediately( because these characters have already captured our hearts.)   

My Cr8zysockbookblock Wrap Up

โญ๏ธStar Rating~โญ๏ธโœจโญ๏ธโœจโญ๏ธโœจโญ๏ธโœจโญ๏ธโœจโญ๏ธโœจ~Six, I will probably never emotionally recover from this duet if book one is anything to go by, STARS!!

๐Ÿ’ญOverall Thoughts~ I am so happy I took a chance on this book and this new to me author as it will most definitely go down as one of my TOP READS of 2022! My only regret is that I am just now discovering this authorโ€™s work. I plan to quickly devour as much of her back list ASAP. I will be counting down the days until book two. Iโ€™m probably not ready for what Ms. Benson is going to do to my poor heart. But I canโ€™t survive without knowing where we are going from here. I highly recommend EVERYONE take a chance on this author and The Love Of My Next Life. As for meโ€ฆ I will never be the same.ย 

โš ๏ธTRIGGERS~This book has some content that could be disturbing to some readers. Elements of child abuse, unaliving oneself, Death, addiction, mental illness. If you would like more specific information feel free to PM me for more specific details.ย ย ย ย 

๐ŸŒถ HEAT~ ๐ŸŒถ๐ŸŒถ๐ŸŒถ Definitely Hot. Had tension and lots of great โ€œBanter Oโ€™Hate.โ€ The buildup was worth the wait. I canโ€™t wait to see the spice level in book 2 since I imagine the them to be older in that book.ย ย 

๐Ÿฅฐ HEA/CLIFFY๐Ÿง—โ€โ™€๏ธ~ HUGE CLIFFHANGER– This book is book ONE of TWO. You will not get a resolution to this coupleโ€™s story in this book. You will get a shocker and then an abrupt ending to keep you hanging! Thankfully book two is set to release in October 2022. Until then Happy Reading My Friends!ย

Fame Release Blast & Review

FAME

The final, breathtaking stand-alone in the Secrets in L.A. Series

I guess itโ€™s naรฏve to say I thought I would be an actress.

But isnโ€™t that why everyone comes to Los Angeles? Fame?

Then again, Iโ€™m from here.

And after years of paying my dues, all that fame and fortune was shoved at me with the promise of care for my family.

Iโ€™d grabbed for it without truly seeing what I was reaching for. Now Iโ€™m trapped in a role that owns my body and slowly steals pieces of my soul.

I wanted to be on camera . . . I never wanted this.

But when an intriguing stranger steps into my life, everything changes.

For the first time in so long, I feel aliveโ€”cherished and adored.

But as our stolen glances and secret smiles turn into shared nights and hidden passion, I know itโ€™s only a matter of time before we fall apart.

Because he has no idea what I do for a living, and he works with my boss . . .

Now all my secrets are threatening to expose my deepest shame and ruin so much more than the faรงade Iโ€™ve fought to maintain.

My Review

My friends, FAME is FANTASTICALLY FABULOUS!! Itโ€™s MAGICALLY MARVELOUS!! Iโ€™m gonna calm down and stop yelling at you in shouty CAPS

But in all seriousness this book yโ€™all. Molly McAdams once again proves why she is one of my absolute favorite authors. She is a must read everything she writes, plus owns every ebook, and signed paperbacks too. It doesnโ€™t matter the genre or trope I know going in that with this authorโ€™s work Iโ€™m in for a story that will be profound and positively unforgettable. A story that is sure to weave itself through my mind, heart and soul and leave a little piece of itself behind. A story I felt so deeply that I will think back on it for years to come. As I still do with pretty much all of her books I have read thus far. (I will go to my death bed still feeling Taking Chances)

Trust me when I tell you Fame is a story like no other. Jensen and Mia are two imperfect humans who just happen to be perfect for each other. Bringing you the best by giving you a little taste of everything, this sinful and sexy romance is slap full of secrets, lies and mystery. Not skimping on the angst, steam, banter, tension, and a good โ€˜ol swoony and southern, Georgia bred country boy to come in and make everything all better  (this Georgia girl might be biased but thereโ€™s nothing hotter than a GA boy) I promise this book has something for every reader. It will captivate you from paragraph one until the very last sentence. Not just a book but an unputdownable journey to unite two amazingly unique and inspiring characters who against any obstacles that may come between them truly belong together. But what to do when love is inevitable between two people and one is dang near ready to sprint in the opposite direction away from it?  Will love bring them together or will Fame tear them apart? 

Mia is really a special character. She is one of the most unselfish of heroines I have ever had the pleasure of reading, yet her circumstances broke my heart over and over again. Her strength and dedication to her family was commendable. How could you not fall in love with her story? This amazing woman who sacrificially suffered for those she loved most in the world. It was devastating and inspiring at the same time. The internal conflicts are gut-wrenching. But I was so immersed in this story I really felt her struggle and found myself battling the what would I do in real life?

I think her battles with the life she was forced into and its impact on her character as a person just made me love her more. She was a deeply loving character but as much love as she had for others she didnโ€™t have it for herself. I wanted to be able to jump into the book and just hug her and tell her I see you. You are beautiful and I see you for who you are. I see you for why and not what you have to do. She was existing, getting by and surviving. But she wasnโ€™t living. She wasnโ€™t enjoying her life. Until she met Jensen. He brought life back into her. He made her feel things no one ever had. It put the carefully crafted walls sheโ€™d put up to hide her secrets behind at risk of crumbling down around her. But for the first time she began to think she finally found someone who might be worth the risk. But there is still so much he doesnโ€™t know about her. What will happen when the truth comes to light?

โ€œYou donโ€™t know what my greatest joy is or the worst moments of my life. You donโ€™t know what Iโ€™ve done to survive.โ€

Jensen is deliciously swoony and without a doubt book HUSBAND material. I say husband because this man is better than a book boyfriend. Boy oh boy was he ever hot and so dreamy too yโ€™all. 

He had been burned in the past and that had an impact on him. He certainly wasnโ€™t looking for a relationship, but he was instantly drawn to the beautiful yet emotionally barricaded girl from the third floor of his new office building. Quickly he finds himself unable to resist the need to get to know and win this woman over. He knows it will be no easy feat but not one to give up; he sets out to win her over. Heโ€™s just so stinking sweet. He is caring and thoughtful. Successful but humble. Supportive and protective. Loving and kind. Gah! The way he was with her melted me into a puddle of goo yโ€™all! I was a pile of jelly for Jensen. I could go on about him FOREVER

None of that matters because I hear you in songs. I see you when I close my eyes. I feel you in my veins.โ€

In closing let me just say this book will tug on your heart strings. It will move you. You will laugh, and cry. You will fan yourself, get frustrated, cry again, and swoon so hard. You will fall so hard for all these characters (old and new). The writing is so engaging you feel like one of the gang, a part of the story.  So vividly you feel like you share in the outrage, the excitement, the urge to smack a fool upside the back of his head and tell him to get it together.  Mostly I just wanna see everyone get all the goodness life has to offer.  But alas, I cannot actually be a part of the story and that is just the mark of a truly talented author, the fact that they make you forget that you arenโ€™t. This author does this to me. EVERY.SINGLE.TIME! 

Jensen and Miaโ€™s breathtakingly remarkable journey is not one to be missed. It is the final standalone (with crossover characters) in the Secrets in L.A. series and told in dual POV. You can read the entire series for FREE in Kindle Unlimited. Go grab you some snacks, a drink and hold onto your taters because Fame is gonna take your heart on one heck of a rollercoaster of feelsEnjoy!โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ

Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her
husband, daughter, and fur baby. When she’s not diving into the world of her
characters, some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks
on the beach . . . which roughly translates to being a homebody and dishing out movie
quotes with her hubby. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies and loves curling
up in a fluffy blanket during a thunderstorm . . . or under one in a bathtub if there are
tornados. That way she can pretend they aren’t really happening.

The Boss Project Release Blitz

Title: The Boss Project
Author: Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 11, 2022

BLURB

The first time I met Merrick Crawford was during my job interview.

Well, technically, Iโ€™d met him twenty minutes earlier when heโ€™d barged into a fitting room a few doors down from my appointment.
I yelled. He yelled. After an argument while standing in my bra, I proceeded to smash the door into the gorgeous jerk, trying to yank it shut.
As you might imagine, I was freaked out when I discovered that the rude guy was my potential new boss.
Yet he didnโ€™t seem to recognize me. Or so I thoughtโ€ฆ Until we wound up bickering again during my interview and he told me to go sniff my armpit.
Okay, so maybe I hadnโ€™t exactly been changing when he walked in on me. In my defense, Iโ€™d been stuck on a hot train for two hours and wanted to make sure I didnโ€™t smell.
I obviously didnโ€™t expect to get the job. But somehow an invitation to a second interview arrived in my inbox.
Before I left, I asked to see Merrick. I needed to know why I was even in consideration after our disastrous start.
Turned out, Merrick only wanted to hire me because I was the least competent candidate. It seemed his board was making him fill the position, against his wishes.
I didnโ€™t really want to work in a place where my boss expected me to fail. But I figured maybe Iโ€™d enjoy proving him wrong. It was a little thing I dubbed the boss project.
What I wasnโ€™t prepared for was that there would be other things Iโ€™d enjoy doing to Merrick Crawford.
Getting involved with the boss wasnโ€™t the smartest choice.
But you know what they say about choices: Some we regret, some we are proud of. I just had no idea where this one was going to land.

Want to know what happens to a man who barely claws his way out of a tragedy, only to fall right into the arms of the one girl in the world he can never have?

 

Another tragedy, that’s what.

 

When I was six years old, my father made a choice that altered the course of my entire life.

Because of what he did, the only girl I ever loved became the only girl I couldnโ€™t have.

 

In a lot of ways, I did have herโ€ฆ I had her first steps, her first words, her first smile. I had her milestones, her heartbreaks, her dreams. I had her heart so woven in with mine, I didnโ€™t know where she ended, and I began.

 

Only, as the years pressed on, lines became blurredโ€”and the blurrier the line, the easier it is to cross.

 

They say tragedy comes in threes.

For me, that was true.

The first one changed me, the second one broke me, and the third one healed me.

 

But at the center of all that tragedyโ€ฆ there is a love story. And at the center of that love story, There is June.
