**RELEASE BLITZ WITH REVIEW** Texts From My Exes by Rachel Van Dyken

TEXTS FROM MY EXES

Rachel Van Dyken

Release Date: September 15

Available in Kindle Unlimited

“𝑭𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒆𝒙 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒚…𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒍 𝒎𝒚 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝒗𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕.”

Some people scrapbook.

I screenshot my exes’ texts.

What started as me venting my dating disasters online (creative outlet, don’t judge) has turned into a blog with actual followers—and the only thing keeping me in my dirt-cheap apartment. My grandmother-slash-landlord insists I “prove my creativity” to stay, so the blog lives on.

Except now my readers want a happy ending. With an ex.

Problem? None of my exes qualify.

So…I invent one. The perfect guy. The one that got away.

Rule #1: Never roast your exes online if they know how to read.

Rule #2: Definitely don’t make up a fake ex-boyfriend just to keep your rent low.

Rule #3: do not—under any circumstances—let your best friend discover the lie.

Because now he’s volunteered to become my fake perfect ex. And the more we fake it, the more I can’t tell if my readers are the only ones falling for the story.

Turns out, the biggest plot twist of all?

I might have been in love with him the whole time.

Tonya's Review
5 Stars
This is yet another hilariously great read by Rachel Van Dyken.  This is a standalone.
This is Harper and Ezra's story.  They are best friends, but both of them have more than friends feelings for each other.  But neither will cross that line. 
What started as a TikTok campaign for Harper, had her "finding the one that stayed" and was right in front of her eyes the entire time.
The texts that start each chapter will have you laughing out loud.  Reading those has me even more grateful I've been married for 20 years and don't have to deal with dating!
I love how this worked out for them.
And OMG grandma Blue!  I absolutely love her!  I want more with her!

**RELEASE BLITZ WITH REVIEW** Mistaken Identity by Lani Lynn Vale



Title: Mistaken Identity
Series: Content Advisory #5
Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Genre: Mafia Romance
Tropes: Mistaken Identity
Cinnamon Roll Hero/He Falls First
Release Date: September 9, 2025


BLURB

From the moment Creole Williams met Audric Ingram, they were inseparable.

But not the way one would think.

They shared a best friend.

What they did not do, however, was like each other.

You could say that it was a war to win the best friend title.

The only problem was, their best friend would never choose a clear winner. So they spent their teenage years fighting it out. What Audric didn’t know, though, was that Creole was desperately in love with him.

The same went for Audric. He wanted Creole more than his next breath.

But it was never the right time.

Then life happened, and it kicked them both in the teeth.

One second they’re acting, and the next the anger is real, and neither one of them can stand to be near the other.

For years, they fight it out, one-upping each other to the point where neither one of them can be in the same room with each other without things going to hell.

Then one day their best friend dies, and they have to figure out a way to live without her.

There’s no fighting anymore, at least verbally. Physically, however? They let their bodies duke it out the fun way.

But in the end, neither one of them wins.

Tonya's Review
5 Stars

This is the fifth book in the Content Advisory series.  This is the Truth Tellers MC.

Just a warning, this story may have some triggers.  Suicide attempt, rape, and stalking.

This is Audric and Croele's story.  

They were best friends in highschool...until they weren't anymore.  This book will tell their full story.

You'll see what happened once the truth is out.  All their old feelings come back.  The hate is gone. 

These two don't have an easy road.  That's for sure.  

Creole is such a strong woman.  What she went though, man.  I couldn't even imagine.

They've both been through a lot.  

I loved what happened with Gunner. 

I can't wait for more!

"I apologize when I'm wrong.  What I don't do is apologize when I'm provoked.  You lit the match, you deal with the fire."

**REVIEW TOUR** The House Guest by Penelope Ward



Title: The House Guest
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Billionaire Hero/Roommates/Twist
Slow Burn/Angsty/Opposites Attract
Release Date: August 31, 2025


BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE contemporary romance…

The last thing Dorian Vanderbilt expected was to find me painting in my crop top when he returned to the mansion he hadn’t inhabited in years.
He was understandably surprised I’d turned his living room into an art space.
Life is certainly full of surprises, though, but not always in a good way.
I learned that lesson when my aunt and the billionaire she married died unexpectedly while traveling.
I’d been living with them, and just like that, my life was turned on its axis.
Unsure of what was next, I stayed alone at the barren estate figuring out my next move.
That was when Dorian—the late billionaire’s only son—showed up.
I’d never met Dorian Vanderbilt. He’d been living on the other side of the country.
But now, he was home, left to pick up the pieces of his father’s legacy.
Not only was Dorian devastatingly handsome and mysterious, but he was the sole heir to the Vanderbilt fortune.
He didn’t seem to like me—at first. We were total opposites. But I was grateful that at least he didn’t kick me out.
We stayed out of each other’s way for the most part, save for some late-night kitchen run-ins or unexpected bonding sessions in the home theater.
Over time, though, we grew closer. Turned out, our chemistry was pretty combustible.
I was falling in love with him.
Until everything I thought I knew turned upside down yet again.
And fate left me pining for the one man I’d ever loved.

Tonya's Review
5 Stars

This is another great stand alone from Penelope Ward.

This story will have you laughing and then sitting at the edge of your seat wondering what decisions will be made.

Dorian and Primrose could not be more opposite of each other.  But that's what makes them perfect for each other.

Dorian is the billionaire and Primrose is the free spirit art student.  

I wasn't expecting the twists and turns with this read.

I honestly didn't know what Primrose would decide to do.

This is a great read.  Perfect amount of laughs, love, chemistry, and suspense.
