𝓐𝓷 𝓞𝓹𝓽𝓲𝓶𝓲𝓼𝓽’𝓼 𝓖𝓾𝓲𝓭𝓮 𝓽𝓸 𝓗𝓮𝓪𝓻𝓽𝓫𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴, Book one in the Heartsong Duet by USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Hartmann is LIVE and FREE in Kindle Unlimited! Don’t miss this Grumpy/sunshine, best friend’s brother slow burn romance!
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 can’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.
That’s why I applied for a job at his auto shop—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 we’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 don’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.
Lucy’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 now… I am NOT OKAY! Cal is everything I want in my book boyfriend. He’s gorgeous, he’s tatted, he’s mean yet protective. He’s all anti-relationship yet possessive AF. He’s hurt y’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 don’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 it’s going to be EPIC!!
Preorder 𝘼 𝙋𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙩’𝙨 𝙂𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚, Book two, releasing on January 31st!

Pieces of a Life, part one in an all new duet in the Life series by Jewel E. Ann is now live!
The summer before fourth grade, Colten Mosley moved into the house across the street from mine, and we became inseparable.
He played the piano and baseball. I had a penchant for dead things while at the same time imagining what it would be like to kiss Colten. We were filled with curiosity and overly active imaginations.
We were also forbidden to be more than friends. But that didn’t stop us.
Weeks before graduation, he annihilated my heart, and it’s been seventeen years since the day I knew I’d hate him forever.
Now he’s back in my life–a single dad and a homicide detective looking over my shoulder while I perform autopsies as one of Chicago’s most gifted forensic pathologists. Then fate throws us a curveball.
Colten saves my life, but he can’t erase the images that now keep me awake at night. And I can’t explain them.
Am I still the girl he’s always loved? Or nothing more than pieces of that life?

Holy Cow my mind is a jumbled mess right now, and I love it! I’m convinced Jewel. E. Ann could write anything and I would devour it. Rom com, yep. Contemporary, absolutely. Romantic suspense, yes please. Her grocery list, all signs point to yes. Anything and everything. Her latest story, Pieces of a Life, book three in the Life series, is just another example of the magnificence of her writing. Her ability to get quickly immerse readers in the story never ceases to amaze me. I know from the very beginning I fell hard and fast for Colten and Josie and couldn’t wait to read their history leading up to present day that has brought these once childhood sweethearts back into each other’s lives. One wanting nothing more that to get back what they lost seventeen years ago. The other set on not giving in to the one that destroyed their heart all those years ago.
Detective Colten Mosley is fantastic at his job. That job brings him face to face with the one person he’s never really gotten over, the only person he has truly ever loved. Also the person whose heart he obliterated in senior year of high school. Josie Watts was his best friend growing up, until she was his everything. He has always known that given the chance he would never let her go again. No matter what.
Josephine Watts was a feisty and inquisitive girl when she was young. She definitely had unique interests. But she has always been unapologetically who she is. As she got older the dynamics between her and Colten changed and they became so much more. She thought they were planning a future together but apparently the only future he had in store for her was heartache.
Seventeen years later both are back in their home town both successful in their careers. Career fields that put them in contact with each other on the regular. Push and pull and old feelings resurface. Then an event noone could have expected. I was left breathless, warring with what is happening and what it means for the future for Colten and Josie. I am obsessed with this duet already and CANNOT WAIT for the conclusion.

💭Overall Thoughts~All the delicious back and forth you crave. This second chance, frenemies to lovers, romantic suspense, with a pinch on paranormal/psychic twist is unputdownable and addictive.I can’t get enough of Jewel E. Ann’s writing.

This is for sure one of myTOP DUETS of 2022!

🌶HEAT~ 🌶🌶🌶🌶 Yummy, Hot, Spicy
🥰HEA/CLIFFY🧗♀️~Cliffy. Part one of a duet. Will not get resolution until book two in late September. (Not too far away)
Jewel is a Wall Street Journal & USA Today bestselling author with a quirky sense of humor. When she’s not saving the planet one tree at a time, you can find her role modeling questionable behavior to her three boys, binge-watching Netflix with her husband, and writing mind-bending romance.
I am absolutely destroyed at the moment. This book gutted me. I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to get when I started. As this is A- my first read by this author so I’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 y’all. My recommended way to go, always. Now, I had my assumptions based upon said blurb, but… You know what they say about assumptions and all! Blurb had me thinking “ okay, this is going to be the whole “good girl falls for an anti-hero that’s going to grow on us.” and I can totally get on board with a good ‘ol enemies to lovers any day of the week and twice on Sunday’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. A 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.
From the very beginning I fell for Macon hook, line, and sinker. He’s so tantalizingly toxic, and I should be ashamed that I’m so twisted because I die harder for the toxic ones. But I’m not even a little ashamed. 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, hurt, and he was so much more than what people saw him for. It wasn’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 🔥🌶🔥🌶 did he ever make me hot. The ones with the bad egg rep y’all, I’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. Lol That’s probably why I like my fictional fellas fully fubar’d! (Not completely. I do want him redeemable)
Lennon is amazing. She’s got a heart of gold, she is who she is and she’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 doesn’t stand up for herself…except 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 feel 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 wasn’t actually there. I didn’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 more…and now we wait.
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 won’t recover from immediately( because these characters have already captured our hearts.)

⭐️Star Rating~⭐️✨⭐️✨⭐️✨⭐️✨⭐️✨⭐️✨~Six, I will probably never emotionally recover from this duet if book one is anything to go by, STARS!!
💭Overall 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 author’s work. I plan to quickly devour as much of her back list ASAP. I will be counting down the days until book two. I’m probably not ready for what Ms. Benson is going to do to my poor heart. But I can’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 me… I will never be the same.
⚠️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.
🌶 HEAT~ 🌶🌶🌶 Definitely Hot. Had tension and lots of great “Banter O’Hate.” The buildup was worth the wait. I can’t wait to see the spice level in book 2 since I imagine the them to be older in that book.
🥰 HEA/CLIFFY🧗♀️~HUGE CLIFFHANGER– This book is book ONE of TWO. You will not get a resolution to this couple’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!

Book friends, are you ready for your next FAVORITE read of 2021?!?! If you thought The Naked Fisherman was great then you have no idea the brilliance on the way with The Lost Fisherman. PURE LITERARY MAGNIFICENCE!! Gosh Y’all! I get emotional just thinking about this duet. I legitimately have read The Naked Fisherman twice. The Lost Fisherman I have read three times already. I was pacing around waiting for it to hit my kindle and when it did I immediately disappeared to my quiet spot. Trust me when I tell you the conclusion to Reese and Fisher’s journey… It.Did.Not.Disappoint!!
The journey this book will take you on is so emotionally raw and beautiful and special and exciting and worrying. It’s every emotion under the sun. The characters are so different from who they were in the first book. From the first chapter that had my heart in my throat I knew I was in for a ride of emotions. This was carried out throughout the entire book. Lines tested, boundaries questioned! How far would you go, what sacrifices would you make for the one you love most?!
Reese is the most amazing person and more than I could have even pictured that she would become. The amount she matures is so astounding. But Fisher is so different too. I loved the journey of discovering who this new Fisher of today is. Learning about his strength and struggles and seeing some lesser confident sides to him this time around.
I refuse to give any details about this book away because you NEED to go in blind to fully appreciate the situations this book will throw at you. I will say in closing that this was one of my favorite diets I have ever read. I fell so instantly in love with these characters and this second book, their changes only made me fall deeper in love with them. Almost like falling in love with them all over again. Grab this phenomenal duet today!! 🥰🔥♥️🥰🔥♥️ Truly I would give it 10 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if I could.

BOOK BLURBHe’s a criminal—an abomination. We’re wrong in every way. If only I could’ve convinced my heart.His lips whispered promises of all the stars in the sky.

OMG friends.I am NOT Okay!! 😭 I am literally crying for book two. I need it like I need air right now. This book will go down as one of my favorite books EVER!!
Calder and Sutton’s story part 1 is unlike anything I have ever read before. It’s emotional and exciting and heartbreaking and frustrating and inevitable. Everything about them is perfectly made for the other, even though in their worlds they should never fit together. From the first look they never had a chance of denying each other though.
I don’t want to give anything about the book away so I will just say you need to read it. All the secondary characters are amazing as well. Trilina has put her heart and soul into this book and it’s so obvious because this book is so amazing. It’s earth shattering, it will take over every emotion you have and will leave you breathless. You will not be the same after reading this book. You will be an emotional basketcase. So heed my warning. It is worth it though so read it anyway.

Blurb:I’ve been in hiding for four years. On the run from the man in whose bed I once slept. I saw something I shouldn’t have seen. Took something I shouldn’t have taken. And he’s just found me. But it’s not just my safety I have to worry about. I have a little boy. His little boy. The secret baby of a Russian mobster. He told me in no uncertain terms that I’m his. That we would be a family. But his uncle still wants me dead and I know the man who’s been hunting me is the only one who can keep us safe.
My Review
Oh Yes, friends! HIS is book two of The Ties That Bind, a dark mafia romance duet from A. Zavarelli and Natasha Knight. This amazing duo wrapped this up fantastically. I was not disappointed. This book is dark, angsty, and gritty. This will have you spinning from the very beginning, where it picks right up where Mine left us.
Lev, Katerina and Josh are on the run. Their lives are at stake when Lev’s uncle sets out to serve up the ultimate revenge. Levka’s loyalties and priorities have seriously shifted since book one. Now that he knows he has a son and his son’s mother, who he happens to love, to protect and he will do whatever it takes and destroy anyone who threatens what is his. He’s read to start a war! While assembling his team of allies secrets come to light that could change everything for Katya and Josh. When it’s all said and done, will he be able to take his family and walk away for this life for good? I love LEV!! 😍 I love how Katya and Josh changed this man!
Katerina loves Lev, but she doesn’t want to be a part of his world. She just wants to keep her son safe and that means she has to trust not only Lev but those he says to protect her and Josh. Not exactly an easy thing to do after the recent events that sent them running. Katerina has many secrets surrounding her that date way back to her childhood, some she is aware of some she is not. As those begin to unravel she becomes even more unsure of what to do. I have a serious girl crush on her character! ♥️She is feisty, beautiful, strong and hardheaded, but unfortunately those same traits could turn out to be her downfall.
With the introduction of even more amazing characters, this incredible story will keep you reeling. Gripping the edge of your seat, and flipping the pages as fast as you can read them to see what happens next! Pick up this phenomenal duet today!

Once upon a time, there was a monster.When the night falls, he comes out to harvest souls.He’s silent and invisible —no one notices when he strikes then retreats to the shadows.Our paths shouldn’t have crossed, but they do.One day he sees me.Then he can’t unsee me.Once upon a time, there was a monster, a killer, a devil.My stalker.He Hates Me is part of a duet and is NOT standalone.

My Review
Be prepared y’all! He Hates Me by Rina Kent and Isabella Starling will have you gasping, leaving your mind-blown and jubbled. Questioning the boundaries of what you thought you liked or would deem okay. Wondering, How did that even happen?! Lol Did I just maybe fall for a hit man, assassin with a super jealous alpha-protective streak? I mean, it’s possible if he’s as gorgeous as Jasper Cain, that is.
Raw, gritty and full of violence, lies and obsession. This is a story of complete opposites attracting, that turned out meant for one another, somehow they just fit, y’all !!
Jasper the devious devil the stalker, the hit man. Georgina, his little “Petal” as he called her, the beautiful introverted ER nurse, who loved only a select couple of friends and her cats and hid a secret affinity for the most extreme hard core adult films.
So as the blurb states this a stalker romance, however not gonna lie, after one look at Georgina, Jasper becomes the stalkery-ist, stalker that ever stalked! It is disturbing how up into her stuff he gets all the time, IDC how cute you are Jasper Cain. You are creepy!
Now this book definitely is pretty dark, I like dark SO if you do too, dark you shall get. It is full of violence, suspense, murder, and blood. Hey it’s Mafia! It’s also super hot, possessive and banging in the bedroom. He pushes her out of her comfort zone in a way that’s violent, raw, rough, gritty and dominating but she wants what she’s secretly been fantasizing about and he gives her exactly that!
So, If you are looking for a dark and sinister story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. With unexpected moments to keep you guessing and then a twist you couldn’t have even begun to have predicted.

My Review
OH-MY-HOLY-HADES!! Y’all! My heart, My head. I’m all over the flippin place. This conclusion was EVERYTHING! S.M.Soto is a master craftsman when it comes to serving up emotional literary beatings. This conclusion was all that I was hoping for, yet I was blindsided so many times over with twists and turns. I couldn’t have seen them coming with binoculars, Y’all! Everything about Baz and Mackenzie’s love story was Astonishing!
“Our love was unexpected—a chaotic blend of messy and beautiful.”
Mackenzie is back and more ready than ever to get to the bottom of the truth. But just how far is she willing to go. When she starts to unfold more and more secrets, She doesn’t know who to trust. Putting her trust in the wrong person could be catastrophic for her. Struggling with the battle between her head and her heart she’s not sure if Baz is with her or against her.
“His hold on my heart is eternal.”
She knows she loves him, but she’s torn and needs to protect herself while still getting justice for Madison. When Madison’s secrets start coming to light will Mackenzie finally let it all go and just let the lies stay buried?
Baz can’t trust Mackenzie, but he’s got conflicting information coming at him from every direction. No matter what he makes it his mission to protect her because no one’s gonna hurt his “Dirty Girl” Baz sets out on a mission of his own, punish those who dared to touch what was his. Baz has deep feelings for Mack but he’s hiding his true feelings from her, just like she’s trying to do from him. Their banter back and forth is heated and hot and from one minute to the next you don’t know if they’re about to go off on each other and or go to bed together.
“Because where there is hate, there is love.”
This conclusion will keep you on the edge of your seat. I stayed breathless for most of this book, gasping over and over again. I’m in awe and the amount of suspenseful greatness S.M. Soto stuffed into this phenomenal book. It was unpredictable and unexpected from chapter to chapter and I loved every second. Every jaw dropping, heart stopping, wanna throw my kindle across the room moment!
This is a MUST READ DUET!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- This duet will go down as one of my favorites of all time. The twist and turns, the and suspense, the heat and banter between these characters is unreal! There were so many things that literally knocked me for a loop. It was just that good y’all!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥-There is nothing hotter than two people that try like hell to resist each other, then finally give in. Especially when your guy is dominant AF!I would sign up any time of any day to be Baz’s Dirty Girl, just sayin’ !! 🔥🔥
🌪Cliffhanger Warning-🌪🌪No Cliffhanger this time!!I’m so happy with the way this ended! #PerfectlyHappyEnding!😍
