**REVIEW TOUR** The Rules of Dating A Younger Man by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward



Title: The Rules of Dating a Younger Man
Authors: Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 15, 2024


BLURB

I was the last of my group of friends to find “the one.”
The guys would always tease me that I needed to hurry up and settle down.
But I was in no rush.
Until I met someone worth rushing for.
Alex was one of the weekend volunteers at Ryan’s House—a charity I founded to build housing near hospitals.
Little did I know she was the same person I’d been arguing with over email before the project started. At the time, I’d thought Alex was a dude.
In reality? She was a smoking hot blonde who captivated me from the moment we met in person.
Our chemistry was off the charts, and I fell hard pretty fast.
Unfortunately, Alex insisted I was too young for her. I hated that she felt that way. Because age was just a number.
Not only that, her words didn’t match the way she looked at me—like she was very interested.
I lived for the weekends we’d spend out of town volunteering. Alex and I side-by-side hammering during the day, while sharing intimate dinners together at the hotel at night.
Eventually, the walls she’d put up to protect her heart began to crumble.
Until fate threw us a doozy that I wasn’t sure we could come back from.
If I’d thought our age gap was the biggest hurdle, I didn’t know anything yet.
Rule number one for dating an older woman who insists you could never be together?
Don’t fall in love.

4 Stars

This is the final book in the Rules of Dating series.  They are stand alones, but you will see all the previous couple since this is a very close group of friends.
This is Brayden and Alex's story.
Now it is an age gap, but Alexx is the one that's older!  She actually has a daughter Brayden's age.  We never do get her exact age though.
There are a few surprises in this read that I wasn't expecting.
I really liked reading this!

Genre: Romantic Suspense
Trope: Bad Girl/Good Guy
Release Date: September 10, 2024


BLURB

Fuck me for choosing the wrong sister.

Atlas Carter was a protector. He was a police officer, had spent years in the Air Force, spent his entire teen years as a volunteer firefighter.

Being a protector was in his blood.

It was his dream.

So when a woman was in a dangerous situation, it was his every instinct to protect her. To shield her. To watch over her.

Only, that woman had played him.

She’d set him up.

She’d made sure that he only saw her.

Then, when the real woman who should hold his heart, the sister, comes into his life, he doesn’t see past the hatred of her to know that she’s only trying to protect him in return.

He spends the next year terrorizing the woman who’s supposed to be his. When the dust finally settles, and he can see clearly once again, she’s no longer there waiting for him.

5 Star

This is the fifth book in the Carter Brother's series.  And OMG this book has everything!
I'm not going to say much, because I would hate to ruin anything.
But HOLY WTF is up with Sage!?
I was really mad at Atlas.  But he is a good guy that wants to see the good in people.
Pepper is an amazing person.
I absolutely love her. And Atlas once he opened his eyes to what was right in front of him.
This is a great read!

**RELEASE BLITZ WITH REVIEW** The One I Didn't See Coming by Piper Rayne

 


The One I Didn't See Coming by Piper Rayne is now live! 


It’s the classic story—girl returns to her hometown only to end up moving in with her high school crush, who she hates.


Returning to Willowbrook was my only option after Chicago chewed me up and spit me out. Technically, it wasn’t Chicago’s fault. It was his fault—the man I thought I knew who turned out to be a liar.


My older sister, always the one to swoop in and fix things, secured me a job as a yoga instructor on her fiancé’s family ranch. As my self-assigned protector, she’s keeping one eye on me and one eye on Emmett Noughton, her fiancé’s brother.


He’s the charming, fun-loving, take-life-as-it-comes kind of guy, and once upon a time, his name was scribbled in my notebooks. Back then, I was invisible to him. Now, he’s looking at me like I’m the only thing in the room. But he lost his chance with me a long time ago.


It’s easy to keep him at arm’s length and nurse the grudge I’ve held onto for years. Until the house I’m staying in sells, and I have nowhere to go except his house. Now, resisting him isn’t just difficult—it’s impossible.

5 Stars


This is the third book in the Plain Daisy Ranch series.  They are all stand alones, but all have been great reads.  This one does set up the next story also.  And I can't wait.

Emmett is now my favorite of the brothers.

His brothers truly don't see the real him.  They only see the front that he puts on.  

Briar is back in town, and boy does she have some secrets.

These two together are awesome.  They just get each other.  Their banter is awesome.  Briar really brings out the real Emmett.

I love this series.

**REVIEW TOUR** The Rocker's Muse by Penelope Ward



Title: The Rocker's Muse
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Rockstar/15-Year Age Gap/Small Town
Found Family/Slow Burn/Forbidden
Release Date: August 26, 2024


BLURB

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

No one but me knew why I was actually in the California desert that day.
Nestled deep within the desolate, rocky area was a recording studio.
When a door suddenly opened, a man mistook me for someone he was supposed to be interviewing for a job.
The next thing I knew, I was whisked inside.
The position? An assistant on the upcoming tour for one of America’s most famous rock bands.
Pretty exciting opportunity for a twenty-two-year-old, just out of college.
Not surprisingly, I bombed the interview.
When I ended up mistakenly walking into the men’s room on my way out, I struck up a conversation with a stranger—not realizing it was the lead singer, Tristan Daltrey.
He seemed to like the fact that I had no idea who he was, that I saw him as a normal person.
That night, I got a call offering me the job.
So began my complicated story with Tristan.
Millions of women loved him.
Yet for some reason, after the shows, he only wanted to hang out with me.
Late-night talks. Casual dinners in his hotel room.
I wasn’t supposed to be fraternizing with the band’s frontman.
Despite our fifteen-year age difference, Tristan and I had a connection.
But I had a secret.
One that would eventually lead to my leaving the tour.
And one that would lead Tristan and the band straight to the small town where I came from.

Tonya's Review
4 Stars

This is a great read and the start of a new series from Penelope Ward

Tristian is the rock star.  But the first time Emily meets him, she has no clue who he is.  Even though she just "interviewed" for a job with the band.

Their first meeting had me laughing.

I loved the talks these two had through out the story.  You could feel their connection.

They both had their reasons for fighting it though.

Emily had some secrets.

Once everything came out, I really felt for them both.

**RELEASE BLITZ WITH REVIEW** King Of Nothing by Aurora Rose Reynolds



Title: King of Nothing
Author: Aurora Rose Reynolds
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Hurt/Comfort, Redemption, Secret
Billionaire, Emotional Scars, Road Trip
Release Date: July 29, 2024


BLURB

I met him when my ship was sinking, and I clung to him through the storm. Little did I know he needed me as much as I needed him.

The first time I saw Roman Dante King, he stuck out like an odd puzzle piece that got mixed up in the wrong box. It wasn’t his blue eyes in the dim light of the bar, the tattoos that covered his arms and hands, or even his arrogant personality. It was something else—something I couldn’t see—that told me he didn’t belong in our small beach town on the Oregon coast.


Elora Mazie Barlow reminded me of a hummingbird zipping from one flower to another, never stopping, never allowing anyone more than a glimpse before she was gone. Never letting anyone in… until me. Then she gave me her smiles that were more valuable than anything I ever owned and wrapped me in her peace without asking for anything in return.

Her tragic story sounded achingly familiar to my own.

Our connection is knotted up in loss. The journey we’re on together will eventually come to an end. But will we be able to untangle the mess of strings that have tied us together?

Will we even want to?

This is a great stand alone.
This is Elora and Roman's story.
Elora is on a mission to finish her mom's bucket list.  No support from her family.  After loosing her mom, she's all alone.  And a little lost in life.  
She has her mission to keep her going though.
roman has lost someone also.
I really love how these two helped each other heal.
Some of the story was a little predictable.  I still really enjoyed it.
