**RELEASE BLITZ WITH REVIEW** Always Salty by Lani Lynn Vale

Series: Semyonov Bratva #4

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Mafia Romance

Tropes: Anti Hero/Stalker Hero/Walking Red Flag

Release Date: April 8, 2025

BLURB

Was it considered stalking if the woman you were stalking liked the idea of being stalked?

It started out like any other job.

My brother, the head of the Russian Mafia, wanted me to delete an opponent. Like the good brother I was, I decided to give him what he wanted.

In doing so, I ended up finding a woman that made my cold, dead heart start to beat again.

One day while doing some reconnaissance on my target, I happen to overhear Keely telling her friend one of her darkest fantasies, and I decide that I’d be the one fulfilling that particular craving for her.

I tell myself that it’s only once. I’d give in to that darkness inside of me once, and I’ll leave her alone from then on.

Except, once turns into twice. And twice turns into way too many to count.

Just when I plan to cut all ties so she doesn’t start to develop feelings for a killer, I find out that Keely doesn’t have just one stalker. She has two. And the one that wasn’t me wanted her dead, and I couldn’t allow that to happen.

Not to her.

Not to the woman that not only chased my demons away, but also didn’t care that I had them in the first place.

Tonya's Review

5 Stars

This is the fourth book in the Semyonov Bratva series.  They are stand alones.  But they are all about this family.

This is Dima and Keely.

Dima has a lot of darkness in him.  He was basically a government hit-man.  It took a toll on him though.

Keely is Cutter's sister.  And she's been through a lot.  She also has a lot of guilt.

These two are both broken.  But they fit perfectly together.

I absolutely love them both!

**RELEASE BLITZ WITH REVIEW** Immortal Sun by Rachel Van Dyken

IMMORTAL SUN

Rachel Van Dyken

Release Date: March 24

Available in Kindle Unlimited

Discover a brand-new world where demons, vampires, fallen angels, gods, and fae roam the earth in modern day Seattle in a gripping romantasy from #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken. There isn't a lore that doesn't exist around Mt. Olympus, and nobody is safe from the wrath of the immortals who watch.

My only goal: Beat him at his own game.
His: Save the world and himself.

Thousands of people have disappeared from this world by way of his hand and the universe breathes for only one more drop of blood--mine.
He promised he would help me find my brother.
He lied.

I don't know why I immediately trusted Cyrus. He was stunningly gorgeous, nice, and so accommodating that maybe I felt too safe—maybe that was the first red flag.
The second was that he always said my missing twin was fine, that he'd come back when he was done traveling and that I should stay put until his return.
Looks are deceiving. And I forgot..

Now I'm completely screwed. I'm trapped here until the eclipse and the great Sun God says I'm the last sacrifice he has to make in order to ascend to Olympus. I have so many questions about the mixed mythology and each answer that crawls out of Seattle has me more terrified and confused than the first.

I'm surrounded by fallen angels, demons--basically every terrifying yet perfectly normal looking creature on the planet and working at a bar called Styx, counting the days until two of the very coins I take on a daily basis will be used to cover my travel.

Anubis seems nice enough but I don't want to die. There has to be a way and I'm hellbent on finding it even if it means I join the other side.

5 Stars

This is the first book of a brand new series.  If you've read The Dark Ones Saga by Rachel, you will see some familiar characters.  This does end with a cliff hanger, just a heads up.  I can't wait to get my hands on the next book!

I absolutely love Egyptian Mythology.  And Ra has always been one of my favorites.  So of course I loved reading all about him.

This is Ra, aka "Cyrus" and Cleo.  

Ra is on the final part of his trial.  To kill all of Chaos' abominations. Unfortunately, that's Cleo.  

But she's different.

But she is the final sacrifice.  

I need the next!

"To love is to give the most important and damaged parts of yourself to someone and ask them to keep them safe." -Ra, God of the Sun

Release Date: March 4, 2025

BLURB

Life isn’t fair.

If anyone on Earth should know that, it’s Milena Semyonov.

She’s suffered blow after blow, and the hits just keep on coming.

Just when she’s sworn off being happy, that maybe being numb is the better way to navigate life, she meets him.

Cutter Carson Clayborne.

The man that finally shows her how a real man is supposed to treat her.

Just when she didn’t think life could get any worse, the man that abused her as a young, impressionable teen is back, showing her that life can, in fact, get worse.

When she’s ready to quit, Cutter is there, making sure that she knows that he’ll be there, whether she wants him there or not.

He is her husband, after all. And the unlikely pair have an understanding that they’ll stay married for two years, make a baby, and join two crime syndicates in unholy matrimony.

Cutter has other plans, though. He only agrees to the original plan to make her his.

He won’t ever give her up. What’s his stays his. And there’s not a man on the earth that’ll ever touch Milena again. Not with Cutter alive and able to take out anyone that tries.

This is the third book in the Semyonov Bratva series.  They are all stand alones.  But you'll love this family and will need to read all of the books. 

This is Milena and Cutter's story.

Milena is so caring and loving.  But she does have very crappy friends.  Hazel uses her as a doormat.  I couldn't stand her right from the start!  I'm glad about what happened to her.

Milena hasn't let what happened to her stop her.  But she does have some issues from it, which is completely understandable. 

Cutter is awesome.  He's a member of the Truth Tellers MC.  The way he is with "Go" right from the start, you could tell there was no hope for him. 

Their progression is awesome. 

I love these two together.

Nos we do get to see characters from previous series. 

I will say Phoebe was freaking awesome and a genius in this book.  And so casual about it!

We do meet the Truth Tellers also.  And after learning what they do, I really can't wait for their series next.

I really need more.

I want to go to dinner, then be dinner.  Nothing crazy."

**REVIEW TOUR** THE DRUMMER'S HEART BY PENELOPE WARD

Title: The Drummer's Heart

Author: Penelope Ward

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Rockstar Hero/"My Wife"/Small Town

Close Proximity/Slow Burn/One Bed

Release Date: February 23, 2025

BLURB

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

Don’t say her name.

That was the one rule my bandmates followed, because they knew how much it messed me up to think about her, especially on tour.

My ex, Nicole.

The one who got away and the woman who still owned every piece of my heart.

After our divorce, I threw myself into the rock scene, trying to forget my heartbreak.

Three years after we split, a phone call from Nicole changed everything.

She told me her grandmother wasn’t doing well.

Mimi was still family to me, and she apparently had one wish before dying: to spend time with us—Nicole and me.

With Mimi’s caretaker away on vacation, it would be the ideal time for us to move in with her for a couple of weeks.

Of course, I couldn’t refuse.

But there was a catch.

Nicole apparently never told her that we’d gotten a divorce.

She hadn’t believed Mimi could handle it, because her grandmother loved me so much.

So, not only would I have to see Nicole again, but I’d be pretending to still be her husband.

Two weeks in a tiny house in a small town with the woman who broke my heart. Or was it me who broke hers?

It was complicated.

And it was about to be a heck of a lot more complicated sharing one bed in the guest room with a woman who wasn’t mine anymore.

5 Stars

Even though this book is a stand alone, there is one before it, The Rocker's Muse.  You will want to read both, trust me.

This is Atticus' story.  He is the drummer for Delirious Jones.

Nicole is his ex-wife (not by his choice). 

They've been in love since Nicole was still in highschool.  Love isn't their issue though.  It never was.

We do find out what was their issues though through out the book.  And why things ended up how they did.

They still absolutely love each other though.  

Thank God for Mimi.  She brought them back together again.  A dying wish.  You gotta love her!

I can't believe the secret Mimi was keeping though.  She knew all along.  

This is a great book with great characters that you will absolutely love!

**RELEASE BLITZ WITH REVIEW** Mr. Swoony by Piper Rayne

 

Mr. Swoony by Piper Rayne is now live! 

Hockey players were never my type.

At least, that’s what I thought—until I met Conor Nilsen. In truth, I didn’t know he was the goalie for the Chicago Falcons when he struck up a conversation the night of my bachelorette party.

He proved he wasn’t just some hot guy looking to score when he helped me get my drunk bridesmaid safely back to our hotel. That’s when he discovered my 30-before-30 bucket list—a list I hadn’t managed to check a single item off.

What was meant to be a night of stargazing turned into so much more. The chemistry between us was undeniable, and after one innocent night together, I started to question everything—especially my upcoming wedding to a man I wasn’t sure loved me.

Fast forward to my wedding day, and just as I’m standing at the altar, Conor bursts through the church doors to object. And now, somehow, I’m his roommate. Yikes.

Tonya's Review

5 Stars

This is the third book in The Nest series.  They are stand alones, but the previous book did set this one up.  And this one sets up the next book.

This is Conor and Eloise's story.

Eloise isn't with Conor at the beginning of this story.  They actually meet at her bachelorette party.  

Don't worry, there is no cheating at all on her part.

They did spend almost the entire night talking though.  There is a connection, but she's getting married.

She is a people pleaser, even if it doesn't make her happy.

Conor is a fixer type person.

These two are great together.  The "wedding" was awesome!

The roommate situation really helped both of them.

There is some other drama.  Eloise is such a great character.  I would have pressed charges.

I love how everything worked out for these two.

Next we FINALLY get Tweetie's book!!  I've been waiting for his book since the Hockey Hotties series!
