Review: Black Sheep by Meghan March


About Black Sheep:

From New York Times bestselling author Meghan March comes a story of untold truths and one man’s redemption in the Dirty Mafia Duet.

Every family has a black sheep.

In the infamous Casso crime family, that black sheep is me—Cannon Freeman.

Except I’m not a free man. I’ve never been free. Not since the day I was born.

I owe my loyalty to my father, Dominic Casso, even if he won’t publicly acknowledge me as his blood.

I’ve never had a reason to go against his wishes…until I met her.

Drew Carson turned my world upside down when she walked into my club looking for a job.

Now, my honor and my life are on the line.

Going against my father’s wishes might buy me a bullet straight from his gun, but black sheep or not, it’s time to make my stand.

She’s worth the fallout.

REVIEW

I love Mafia books without a doubt, so I knew I had to read this duet and I have to say I found it more enticing than expected because it wasn't the usual Mafia story, but rather something all together more and different.  Drew and Cannon deliver quite the story as all the pieces are laid out in the pages. 

I really enjoy Drew as a character, from the first page, getting to know her motives and understanding what drives her to later watching as things get a little well complicated.   Cannon was another quick favorite, as I really enjoyed seeing the man he is and how he fits into the mafia world we are diving into.   

I loved that this story is filled with such mystery, questions that keep me going, and a deep, intense chemistry that sparks on the page and leaves me wanting more.  I absolutely NEED the second book because I'm stuck on these characters and have to know how things will end. Meghan March kills it with this first part of the story.

Release Blitz: Wild, Steamy Hook-Up by Piper Rayne



He’s the quiet brooding guy who’s owned my heart since I was sixteen but has refused to claim it.
I’m the naïve woman who believes that someday our time will come.
I just didn’t realize that someday would include waking up in Vegas with a raging hangover and a ring on my finger.
If we believed in fate, maybe one of us would’ve trusted that something more powerful than ourselves interceded because our love is one of tangled vines. As twisted and frayed as they’ve become over the years, they’ve never broken.
An annulment seemed like the easy way out. We should’ve known it wouldn’t be fate that intervened, but our Italian Mamas. They can deliver Oscar-worthy performances when heaping on the guilt.
We thought it’d be easy to pretend to be a happily married couple in front of our families for three months and then say we gave it our best shot and go our separate ways.
But nothing is easy when it comes to Dominic Mancini and me. Nothing.

REVIEW



Wild Steamy Hook-Up is book three in the White Collar Brothers series and with it we finally get Dominic and Valentina "Val's" story and it was absolutely worth the wait. 

I loved how this one came together, I've been anxious to see just exactly how these two, with their history, would progress and I have to say it was a whole lot more fun than I expected. I've always been a fun of unrequited love turned real and also who doesn't love a good accidentally married story. 

One of the greatest parts of Piper Rayne books is that they suck you in on all levels, one moment have you laughing so loud your family looks at you like you might have lost it and the next trying to hold back your swoons. A beautifully woven mesh of emotions, snark, romance, and swoons all centered around not only the couple dujour but also their friends and family. But Wild, Steamy Hook-Up was so much more, and it was all the better for it because this book wasn't just a romance - it was a second chance for our couple. 

I felt every moment of this story, because it rang true, it touched deep and it made me believe.










Piper Rayne, or Piper and Rayne, whichever you prefer because we’re not one author, we’re two. Yep, you get two USA Today Bestselling authors for the price of one. Our goal is to bring you romance stories that have "Heartwarming Humor With a Side of Sizzle" (okay...you caught us, that's our tagline). A little about us... We both have kindle’s full of one-clickable books. We're both married to husbands who drive us to drink. We're both chauffeurs to our kids. Most of all, we love hot heroes and quirky heroines that make us laugh, and we hope you do, too.

Cover Reveal: Pleasing Her Prince by Kylie King





An enemies-to-lovers royal romance. 
Ryker Hale is a freaking jerk.

He became the prince of my country overnight and I have resented him for years ever since. Everyone admires him and treats him like a god, and yet all I can remember when I see him are all those times he made fun of and teased me in high school.
It’s just my luck that the prince has a job opening for a dog-sitter position right around the time I lose my job. I need money soon and with nothing to lose, of course I apply, despite how slim my chances are or how much I loathe the idea of working for him.

The last thing I expect is to get hired, though. I also don't expect for Prince Ryker to remember me at all, yet he does.

And now that he remembers, he wants me all to himself.

A part of me wants to punch him right in the face for how he treated me, but I’m starting to realize he’s a changed man, and with each passing day I spend in his palace, I feel myself falling for him more and more.












Kylie King is a soccer mom by day, and a writer of ridiculously smutty romances by night. She loves reading, swimming, and mixed drinks that include lots of rum.

All of her books are quick and hot, with over-the-top fantasies that probably shouldn't be taken too seriously.

EXCERPT 
“Give me your phone. I’ll put my number in,” Cam says, striding over with his confident steps.   “Why?” I force out a wry laugh. “So you can call me?”   “No.” There he goes again with that knowing smirk. As if he knows something I don’t.   “No?” I raise my brows. Then why does he want my number? Is this his move? What he does to ease women out of his bed. Does he think I can’t handle a one-time hookup? That I’ll chase him? I scoff. “What, you think I’m calling you?”   He chuckles, his open palm held between us. “No.”   “Then why?” Against my good judgment I hand over my cell. I’m not sure why, other than it makes him smile and those dimples pop. They’re almost as distracting as his bare chest.   He takes my phone and taps the screen a few times. He locks the screen and takes a step forward. His lips, full and utterly kissable, are only a breath away, but instead of going for my mouth he slides my phone into my back pocket. He gives my ass a squeeze and steps back. “Maybe I’ll send you a d*ck pic.” He shrugs, then reaches for the door. “If you’re lucky.”

Review Tour: The Day He Came Back by Penelope Ward

THE DAY HE CAME BACK IS LIVE!

A Standalone Contemporary Romance
New York Times, USA Today, and #1 Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author
Penelope Ward
SYNOPSIS
It was the summer of my life.
I’d met the guy of my dreams.
Unfortunately, he was the son of my uppity employer—and very much off-limits.
But Gavin was a rebel. He knew his mother would disown him if she found out about us; in his eyes, we just had to be careful.
He never treated me as his mother did—like hired help.
Instead, Gavin put me on a pedestal and loved me harder than I’d ever been loved in my life.

What a summer it was.
Until it all ended—badly.

I was never supposed to see Gavin again.
That didn’t stop me from thinking about him every day for ten years.
I knew little about his life now, just that he was an entrepreneur living an ocean away.

When a twist of fate had me working again in the very place our love affair started a decade earlier, I knew it was only a matter of time before I might see him again.
But I wasn’t prepared.
What if he hated me?
What if he loved someone else now?
I wasn’t prepared for all the unknowns.

And most of all, I wasn’t prepared for today to be the day he came back.

REVIEW

The Day He Came Back is a tale of second chances and so much more.  Our couple are from opposite sides; Gavin's a rich boy who doesn't seem to want for anything until you get to know him and his heart and Raven is the maid's daughter.  Though they couldn't appear to be any more different, there's an underlying connection there, a pull, which begins their forbidden tryst.  But as usually happens, love, their bond, and that connection isn't enough to get through every obstacle and then sometimes fate steps in and changes direction. 

I really enjoyed how this story gave me both the past and the present and how both were connected, though I'm not going to spoil all of those details as it is best to read for yourself.  I will say that I was enthralled from the start, anxious for Gavin and Raven and to see where things would end up between them and how they got to these points in their lives.

Ward did an amazing job weaving the pieces of their story together, from the drama of those against them, to the emotions of both Gavin and Raven, to the undeniable pull between them and everything in between.  I read this book in one sitting because I couldn't bear to set it down for even a moment.

Release Blitz: The Candle Palace by Devney Perry










Sometimes a single flame can ignite a love that lasts a lifetime. 

Milo Phillips knows the meaning of pain. Suffering through the most intense physical agony of his life, he’s confined to a hospital bed to bear it alone. More than once, he wishes he’d died in the explosion that melted and mangled his skin. Darkness consumes him, snuffing all the joy in his life and leaving an empty hole in its place.
But one day, a flicker of light sneaks into his hospital room, driving away some of the hopelessness. For the first time in months, pain isn’t all he feels.

The flicker’s name is Sara Foster, his new nurse. Milo just hopes that Sara can see past his scars. Because underneath, his heart has begun beating again just for her.

REVIEW



The Candle Palace is a novella in the Jamison Valley series, and though it's not quite as long as the rest of the series, it is equally as enticing and full of surprises. The Candle Palace delivers the story of Milo and Sara in quite a fun way. 

I loved seeing Milo get his happiness after knowing parts of his story from former books in the series and the way Perry delivered it was compelling. As with prior books, Perry wove together the angst, emotions, and building love between Milo and Sara beautifully. It was amazing to see how these two found comfort, support and more in each other and see how it turned into so much more. 

I really enjoyed how the story was spun - as a retelling in the own heroine's words to her friends. It was a fun twist to take us back into the past and bring us back to the present in the end. 

Milo and Sara's story was a great fit for the series. It brought to life an amazing story of two beautiful people who came together despite bumps in the road. I loved reading about Sara and her relationships with patients - she was a true nurturer from the start and I enjoyed seeing the gruff and hurt Milo transform as he got to know Sara more and began healing.
