AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: BIG BEN BY NANA MALONE

BLURB:

It began with betrayal.
And ended in murder.

She was never supposed to cross my path.
She was never supposed to know about the Currency of Secrets or the Oaths of Blood.

But like a thief in the night, she stole my soul even if she wasn't mine to possess.

As a member of the Elite, I live by simple tenets. A gentleman above all. Private matters stay private. Secrets whispered are never revealed. Enemies and friends are of the same coin. And power is king.

My so-called brothers killed my friend. I intend to make them pay. And before it's over, I'll bend all the rules of morality, decency and legality. I will borrow and steal to set the scales right. But begging--begging, you can forget about.

My name is Ben Covington and I know my sins. 

******************************************************************************

*REVIEW*

This was a delicious slow burn with secrets and mystery galore! Big Ben is the first in the See No Evil Trilogy and I absolutely need book 2 & 3 ASAP! Ben is a member of the London Lords whom are trying to take down the largest Secret Society in London. He is a smart, driven alpha male on a mission. Liv is a smart, sassy and successful woman who has been in a relationship with a man she is feeling disconnected from when she meets her new boss, Ben Covington. HOLY sexual tension between these two. So intense! I absolutely CANNOT WAIT to see what happens next in The Benafactor!

Mari and Shane East do an incredible job with the narration. Their voices bring these characters to life. The emotion in their voices is spot on!

Thank you Valentine PR for an audio code in exchange of an honest review 💜

About Nana:

USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller, Nana Malone's love of all things romance and adventure started with a tattered romantic suspense she "borrowed" from her cousin.

It was a sultry summer afternoon in Ghana, and Nana was a precocious thirteen. She's been in love with kick butt heroines ever since. With her overactive imagination, and channeling her inner Buffy, it was only a matter a time before she started creating her own characters.

While she waits for her chance at a job as a ninja assassin, in the meantime Nana works out her drama, passion, and sass with fictional characters every bit as sassy and kick butt as she thinks she is.

Synopsis: 

Those that truly know August Greenfield, will tell you that I live my life to the fullest. Work hard as part of the team at Jameson Force Security but play just as hard at The Wicked Horse Vegas. I have no regrets about my life. Well, maybe just one. Leighton Hale was my first love and the woman I wanted to spend my life with, but one day she was just gone. Vanished without a trace. Even my extensive contacts as part of the team at Jameson left me empty-handed in my search for answers. My single remorse is never being able to find out what happened to her, because no matter how difficult the truth may be, it can’t be as bad as never knowing at all. Ten years later, a knock on my front door brings me face-to-face with the woman I thought I’d never see again and nothing in my life could have prepared me for the secrets she holds.

REVIEW

Wicked Secret was another phenomenal instalment in the Wicked Horse, Vegas Series. This is a second chance, romantic suspense that I devoured in one sitting. August Greenfield is an ex-cop now working for Jameson Force Security. He frequents the Wicked Horse in his down time. He is content with his life. Leighton is on the run and has been in witness protection program and is hiding a secret that will rock August’s world. The moment Leighton shows up on August’s doorstep their chemistry was evident but due to their past there was a lot of intense emotion between these two as well! August tries very hard to keep Leighton at arms length and keeps up his anger, and defenses for a short time but soon he gives in as he will do anything for her. Leighton has had a tough life and is strong and resilient. I loved the suspense in this one. I adored the way August protects Leighton at all costs. The connection between these two was steamy, and explosive. I couldn't get enough. I love the world that Sawyer Bennett has created with the Wicked Horse Vegas and Jameson Force Security and loved seeing the characters cross over. I also loved getting to know more about August’s billionaire friend, Declan! Can’t wait for his book next.

Cover Reveal - Faked by Karla Sorensen

Title: Faked

Author: Karla Sorensen

Genre: Sports Romance

Release Date: June 16, 2020
Cover Design: Najla Qamber Designs

Every action has a consequence, and Claire Ward knows it. And yet, even knowing that her decision to swap places with her identical twin sister, Lia, for a night could be disastrous, she still does it. 

Why? 

Because it will give her an evening with the man she’s been crushing on for years, Lia’s best friend, Finn. 

Miss Straight A Student has thought through all the angles, and knows the risk is worth it. And everything would have been fine, if Finn had been the one to show up at her door. 

But it wasn’t. 

Bauer Davis— Finn’s half brother and his exact opposite in just about every definable category is the one waiting for her instead. A professional snowboarder, Bauer is covered in ink, full of attitude, and has a chip on his shoulder the size of Mt. Olympus. The kind of bad boy that Claire has never been attracted to before. 

Now the good girl is with the wrong brother for a night, and when the consequence is that they have to pretend to be together for an event, it’s nothing she could have predicted. But maybe, just maybe, what makes Bauer so bad, is exactly what Claire needs.

Well, let’s see ... I’m a wife and a mother. If the things that I write bring a smile to someone's face, then I've done my job. I am obsessed with Outlander (both the books and the show). I’m almost exclusively a romance reader, which means some people will never consider me a literary snob. If I could meet one historical figure, it would be Jane Austen. I received my Bachelors in Public Relations and worked in health care marketing before I had my babies. I hate Twitter. I do it, but I hate it. Also, if you want to get on my good side, bring me wine and I'll love you forever.

Every Little Piece of Me by Lexi Ryan: Blog Tour + Review

Every Little Piece of Me is a sexy, standalone second-chance romance in the all-new Orchid Valley series.

Every Little Piece of Me by New York Times & USA Today bestselling author, Lexi Ryan, is live!

It’s not every day you get invited to your wife’s wedding to another man...as a guest.

The first time I saw Brinley Knox, she was crying, draped in a ridiculous pink tulle dress for her sweet sixteen party, and cursing the boy who’d broken her heart.

I was the hired help, a teenage charity case.

She was the daughter of the wealthiest family in Orchid Valley.

I knew a girl like Brinley was off-limits for a guy like me. That didn’t stop me from kissing her. Or from promising that if she were ever mine, I’d never let her go.

The last time I saw Brinley, she was sleeping, tangled in the sheets of my Vegas penthouse, my diamond glittering on her left ring finger.

I returned three hours later to an empty bed, the ring on the dresser, and a goodbye note.

We haven’t spoken in the six months since, but I’m not the kind of guy who’d file for a divorce he doesn’t want.

Until I got this damn invitation, it never occurred to me that Brinley didn’t remember our impulsive Vegas nuptials.

It’s time to return to Orchid Valley and remind the bride-to-be that I’m a man who keeps his promises.

Excerpt: 

Every Little Piece of Me, excerpt © 2020 by Lexi Ryan

I run the water cold and brace myself on the sink. 

Everything is okay. This is just one moment. Inhale and exhale, and move your way through it.

Once my breathing evens out, I splash cold water on my face and blot it dry with a paper towel. I’m definitely overreacting. There are a thousand reasons he could be in town and want to talk to me alone. Thousands of reasons that don’t begin with the words “You’re the love of my life. Please don’t marry anyone else.”

Because I’m almost positive I don’t want to hear those words. Mostly.

When I step out of the bathroom, Marston is waiting there, leaning against the wall across from the ladies’ room, arms folded, jaw twitching with aggravation. The picture of tall, dark, and pissed off.

When Marston sets his mind to something, he gets it, and tonight, apparently that something is talking to me alone. 

“Sorry.” I smooth down my pencil skirt. “That vodka didn’t sit right.” I turn toward the main room. 

He catches me around the waist and spins me so fast that I’m trapped between the wall and him before I can blink. “Give me one minute.” He braces his hands above my head and leans forward.

I swallow hard. Not because I’m scared. Marston’s never scared me. But looking up at him when he’s this close is stirring up all kinds of memories. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to look at him without part of me wishing for the future I longed for at sixteen. I place a firm hand on his chest. “I don’t think this is a good idea.”

“Was Vegas a joke to you?”

Of all the questions I expected him to ask, that wasn’t anywhere on the list. “What? Of course not. Vegas was . . .” Hot. Impulsive. Crazy. Amazing. Wild . . . everything. 

He dips his head until his lips hover right above mine. “Don’t you dare call it a mistake,” he growls, his warm breath tickling my skin.

I ache to close the distance between our mouths, ache to feel his kiss again. I’d never call Vegas a mistake. Maybe I should, but I can’t. 

“Fuck, you smell so good. I couldn’t get the smell of you out of my mind for weeks after you left me that damn note. Do you know how crazy that made me?”

My hand is still against his chest. If I pushed, he’d back off. He’d give me the space to clear my head. But when he shifts his mouth from above mine to my ear, I don’t want to push him away. I want to pull him back. “Marston—”

“Is this why you sent me that invitation? Did you want me to come here and remind you what it’s like between us? How it feels when we’re close?” In a breath, he has me pinned against the wall again, and his mouth crushes against mine.

Fireworks explode in my stomach. All at once, the floor is falling out from under me and I’m floating. 

The kiss doesn’t last long—I don’t let it. I tear my mouth away before it can swallow me whole. 

I shove him back, my lips tingling. “You can’t do that.” The kiss was everything I remembered, everything that’s missing when I kiss Julian. Everything I’ve been trying to convince myself I don’t need.

Review

Every Little Piece of Me is a wonderfully written second chance love story. Brinley and Marston are childhood sweethearts. Brinley is the daughter of a rich family and Marston is the hired help. A relationship between them is forbidden and eventually she ends things breaking both their hearts. Fast forward 10 years they meet and Vegas and share a passionate night together and end up married to another, only Brinley doesn’t remember and is planning to marry someone else. Marston is not having it and begins to plan to make her remember. Boy, did I love Marston. He is the perfect, swoony hero that I love in a romance novel. He is patient, kind and loving. Brinley on the other hand grated on me at times, she was often stuck in her own head and had a hard time speaking up for herself. This couple has a hard road ahead to get to their HEA but the story telling was gripping and kept me wanting more. Overall I loved the Orchard Valley Crew and look forward to reading more books in this seres in the future.

Fight for Me by Corinne Michaels BLOG TOUR + REVIEW

New York Times Bestselling author, Corinne Michaels, brings a new breathtaking and emotional love story to life in the second STANDALONE in the Arrowood Brothers series. 

Fight for Me is LIVE! 

I fell in love with Sydney Hastings when I was ten years old. 

At sixteen, we whispered promises of forever.

When I was twenty-two I broke them all. I left her and promised never to return.

After my father's death, I’m forced to go home to Sugarloaf for six months. She'll be everywhere, no longer just in my memories and regrets. 

When we’re together, it’s as though time never stopped. She’s still the one I want, but I don’t deserve her. Instead of apologizing, I take that beautiful, broken woman in my arms. But after that, it’s her turn to leave me. 

Now I have to fight. For her. For us. For the life we both want …

Excerpt:

"Do you want to dance?"

She nods. 

I hear my brother make a noise and pretend I didn't. She said yes, and I'm going to cling to that.

Here might be the last time I ever get to hold her in my arms, and I'm going to take it.

"I love this song."

I love you.

"Why is that?" I ask.

Her arms move to my chest, and I wonder if she can feel the pounding of my heart. My nerves are bowstrings, being pulled taut before the arrow is ready to fly. Everything inside of me is strained, but I keep it together.

Sydney and I move, the world falling away as it always does when I am with her. Gone is the hurt of my past, the uncertainty of my present, and the regret of the future ahead. Right now, I have her.

She's here, in my arms, where she's meant to be.

I don't care if the sky lights on fire because she's all I see.

"Listen to her." Sydney's voice is quiet and pensive. "Listen to her talk about him giving up and her asking him to stay."

And I do. I hear the words, and I swear that she's singing to us.

"Don't tell me it's too late," Emily croons.

"I won't give up that easy.

Don't call me darlin' and tell me that you're leavin'.

Don't walk away.

Stop pushing me when you know you want to hold on.

It could be so easy for us, baby.

I've been here, but you don't see me.

Don't let go if you're not ready for me to walk away." The acoustic guitar takes over as her voice drifts off.

"Syd," I say her name as both a plea to let go and hold on.

Her hands grip my shirt tighter. "Don't. Don't let go. Don't push me away."

I see the tears in her eyes. I don't want to push her away. I want to hold her close, kiss her senseless, and love her until she knows it in every fiber of her being that she's everything I want.

I see her. I feel her. I know her in my bones, but I won't be able to be who she needs.

No matter how much I wish it weren't the case, I can't give her the life she wants with a husband and babies. All I can offer her is a friendship that has an expiration date because once my six-months is up and she has moved, I know I won't allow myself to see her again.

The song ends, and the two of us stop moving, just watching the other.

The spell that was surrounding us seems to break and awareness fills her gaze. Her fingers loosen and drop from where they had been clutching my shirt and she takes a step back.

The loss of her is felt everywhere. My heart doesn't seem to beat as strongly, the cold hits my chest, making it hard to breathe, and the emptiness from her loss leaves me weak.

For those minutes I held her, the world made sense. And now ... I need to leave.

REVIEW

Wow! Fight for Me is an incredible second book in the Arrowood Brothers Series! This is Declan and Sydney’s story whom we learn a bit about it the first book in the series. Corinne Michaels writes a deeply emotional story about a second chance at love and the trials and tribulations this particular couple goes through to get their happy ending. Sydney and Declan are childhood sweethearts, the true love of each other’s lives. It been 8 years since Declan left Sugarloaf, Pennsylvania and left Sydney’s heart in a tattered mess. Neither have been able to move on from each other over all these years and now Declan has returned and they must confront the pains and hurts of the past. This is their chance to FIGHT and what a journey it is. Declan is the oldest Arrowood brother and is harbouring a lot of guilt from the past and feels the most burden of the decisions his father made. My heart was in tatters seeing him work through it. He and Sydney are true soulmates and once he gives in and allows himself forgiveness and reconnects with Sydney their chemistry is out of the this world. So much heat and passion and FEELS. The writing is deeply emotional and heartbreakingly beautiful. I was not prepared for all the feels in this one! Get your tissues ready! An incredible 5++ star read and a top favorite of 2020!

NEW RELEASE + REVIEW: Rival Roomies by Piper Rayne

Release Date: May 12

I’ve loved him from afar. 

Though most times he’s only a foot away. 

I’m smart enough to know he’ll never be anyone’s forever. 

He checks all the bad boy boxes. 

Tattoos. Check. 

Motorcycle. Check. 

Chip on his shoulder. Check check. 

If he wasn’t my neighbor and friend I may have thrown myself at him. Okay, yeah. I wouldn’t. Because guys like Dylan don’t want a woman who writes kid’s math textbooks under him in bed. Instead, I pathetically savor morsels of moments where I have his sole attention. 

That was until his archenemy moved in with me. Now suddenly, Dylan’s moving in too and warning off the first guy in a long time who’s showing me interest. Could he finally see me as more than a friend, or am I just a prize to win and show off to his enemy?

REVIEW

I have been looking forward to Rian and Dylan’s story since the beginning of this series and Piper Rayne did not disappoint. This story is filled with laughter, love, friendship, heat and emotion. I devoured it in one sitting and couldn’t get enough. Rian is the nerdy girl. She writes math text books for children. She loves to bake and has a crush for her roommate Dylan. She is shy and reserved and afraid to go after what she wants. Dylan is a tattoo artist and is the classic bad boy. He is just as attracted to Rian as she is to him but thinks she deserves better. They have been keeping their mutual attraction to themselves. The title of the book is perfect, because an old friend, Jax moves in and shows an interest in Rian all bets are off and he isn’t going to let his friend get his girl. I enjoyed the push and pull between Rian & Dylan. Their chemistry was addicting. Dylan has a few hang ups that stand in his way a bit and there were times I was frustrated with his inner dialogue but in the end I adored it overall.

Sure Shot by Sarina Bowen is LIVE!

A brand new stand-alone novel in the USA Today bestselling Brooklyn Bruisers world!

BLURB:

On the eve of her thirtieth birthday, successful sports agent Bess Beringer is ready to make some changes. Armed with a five-year plan—indexed and color coded—she’ll tackle a few goals in her personal life. 

A big, tall, ripped hunk of hockey player who’s just been traded to the Brooklyn Bruisers is not a part of that five year plan. Mark “Tank” Tankiewicz has a lot of baggage. He’s a ride-or-die commitmentphobe. He’s on the rebound. He’s also the sexiest thing on two legs, and for some crazy reason it’s Bess that he wants. 

She knows better. But then she falls stupid in love with him anyway. And for a while it seems like maybe he’ll do the same.

Until she asks him for the one thing he can never give her…

REVIEW

My rating: ★★★★★

Every time I pick up a book in Sarina Bowen’s Brooklyn Bruisers Hockey Series I know I’m going to love it. These characters, their love interests and families are so deep in my heart. These books have so much humor and heart. I devour every single word and Sure Shot was no different. It exceeded all my expectations and more.

It’s been 9 years since Tank and Bess had engaged in a friends with benefits sexual relationship. Bess is a sports agent and Tank has just been traded to Brooklyn from Dallas and are shocked at being thrusted back into each other’s lives. Neither are ready for the other and they have some seriously intense chemistry.

Tank is everything I love about a hockey hero. He is a broody, confident and sexy. He goes after what he wants and I immediately loved the connection between him and Bess. The texts back and forth, their witty banter and the way he shows up for her and doesn’t relent in his pursuit of her I loved. On the team Tank has his work cut out for him. He is not so welcomed on the team and is also going through a divorce.

Bess, I adored. She is the sister of Dave Beringer who we met in Bountiful. Bess has worked hard. She is focused and career driven. She has made it in a man’s world and I loved her feisty, heartfelt, protective side towards her players.

I really loved the emotional side of Sarina’s writing in this book. I didn’t expect it and adored it.

Pick this one up ASAP. You won’t be disappointed.
