**RELEASE BLITZ WITH REVIEW** Spade by Marie James

 Release Date: September 2


So I forgot about the night I spent with Sylvie Davis… big deal.
Listing all of my one-night stands would be impossible.
It’s par for the course for any man who decided early in life they’d rather enjoy a buffet instead of a single entrĂ©e.
But now my boss has ordered me to accompany her back to her hometown.
His words: She needs a little help.
Translation: I think you could fall for this girl.
Leave it to the MC president, and every other chump in this club, to think I need help where women are concerned.
They think love is the final answer in this game of life. If you don’t have it you’re losing.
I know they’re wrong, but find myself grateful that I agreed to go.
It doesn’t take long for an ex to come sniffing around.
I say he’s bad news.
She says I’m jealous.
With the vibes I’m getting from this guy, I find myself hoping she’s right.
The alternative is bad for everyone concerned.

Tonya's Review
4.5 Stars

This is the 23rd book in the Cerberus MC series.  Don't worry, they are all stand alones, but I've loved every single one of them.
This is Spade and Sylvie's story. 
These two are a lot alike.  Neither want a relationship.  They just want the fun.
Spade can be sort of an idiot when it comes to feelings.  And maybe a little bit of a coward.
Sylvie does second guess and overthink things.  But she does go through a lot in this book.  She deals with a lot of guilt.
There is a lot that happens after Spade escorts Sylvie back to her hometown and they return.
If they would have just talked to each other, things would have worked out a whole lot sooner.
I do love them though.
Poor Aro, I can't wait until the next book.
Meet Marie James


Let's see...where to begin...

I'm inching up on the BIG 4-0. The gray hairs are doubling what seems like daily, and the wrinkles and laugh lines are more pronounced than ever.

I have an amazing husband (Married just over 15 years.)

We have two boys we're doing our best to raise as respectful gentleman.

I have a master's degree in criminal justice which I used to work as a juvenile probation office until deciding to write full-time in June of 2019. So that means there's usually always some criminal/law element to my novels.

If I'm not writing; I'm reading.

My favorite genres recently are bully/reverse harem and enemies to lovers. Maybe I'm reliving my traumatic teen years through the girls who actually end up with the boys. (Not that I would change my history since it's gotten me exactly where I need to be!)

I love coffee. I miss carbs. Music is LIFE. I try not to be too serious.

**REVIEW TOUR** Moody by Penelope Ward




Title: Moody
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 22, 2022


BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.

The day I showed up to Dax Moody’s sprawling home, I had no idea what was coming.
As a traveling massage therapist, I was used to entering the houses of strangers.
But this assignment was different from any before it.
From the outside, I’d correctly assumed the owner was rich. What I didn’t realize was that he would be younger than I’d imagined, single, stunningly gorgeous, and mysterious.
Despite the fact that Dax had booked a massage, it never actually happened, since our first appointment was unexpectedly cut short by a comedy of errors.
Certain I’d never see him again after that day, I’d done nothing but think about the captivating man.
To my surprise, he called a second time. That appointment, we talked a lot, developing a stronger connection. But once again, there was no actual massage.
The man I now affectionately called “Moody” kept calling me to come back.
It took three times before I finally gave him the massage he’d ordered. Let’s just say it was challenging to keep things professional. I was extremely attracted to Dax, and by that time, I was falling hard.
Eventually, I’d find out why he’d been so aloof, the reason why he and I could never be together.
Our story was supposed to end there, but it didn’t.
Instead, I was left perpetually longing for a forbidden man.

5 Stars

I honestly don't know where to start, or what to say about this book.
It definitely wasn't what I was expecting.  
Yes, it had funny moments, but there were a lot of serious moments as well.
I'm not going into detail, I'm going to be vague.  Sorry, but I don't want to ruin, or give anything aways.
Dax and Wrent are both great.  I understand why they "couldn't" take things further. Their hearts were in the right place.
Wren shows Dax that he does deserve love and that he is capable of loving others. 
I absolutely loved this!
I honestly wasn't sure how this would end.
Would they be together?
Would they move on from one another?

You'll have to read it to find out.

**RELEASE BLITZ WITH REVIEW** My Fake Fiancé by Piper Rayne


My Fake Fiancé by Piper Rayne is now live!

I never felt truly desired by a man—until him.

My sisters are always the ones who catch a guy's eye at first sight. I'm used to attracting guys because I'm funny, or kind, or have a beautiful face. Never has my curvy figure drawn the attention of a man as hot as Noah.

But the second he stepped foot into my small town Alaskan inn, his gaze swept over me with desire, igniting a flame I thought was dead. He flirted with me, and I might've left two chocolates on his pillow at turndown, but that's where it stayed.

Over the years, he's floated in and out of town while a friendship developed between us. Which is probably for the best because I'm not a one-night stand kind of woman.

Which is funny because when he propositions me to be his fake fiancé in order to end a family feud, it turns out I am the kind of woman willing to pretend to be the one he's in love with.

5 Stars

This is the eighth book in the Greene Family series.  
I've always loved Mandi.  She's the caretaker sibling.  She's a people pleaser.  She loves making other happy.  She is one of those people that are truly happy by making others happy.
Noah is a wildlife photographer.  He's gone a lot, traveling everywhere.
The lifestyles of these two couldn't be more different.
I love how this story worked out.  Even though the engagement was "fake" you could still see how real it was.
All those feelings developing.
I can't wait for the next book.  Chevelle and Came.  And after how this book ends...I really hope Came beats someone badly!

A few fun days in paradise with no expectations. No obligations. Before you say, “pick me for a free vacay!” a few things to consider … The perfect candidate will be single.

Tonya's Review
4 Stars

This is part of the Carmichael Family series.  They are stand alones, but the pranks the brothers do on each other are hilarious.  You don't want to miss those.
This is Maddox and Ashley's story.
They've been best friends since elementary school.  They always flirt, but never go past that.  It's an easy friendship, the type of friendship that everyone needs.
I did like how Sara and Becca set up the contest to go on the honeymoon with Ashley.  She needed that little shove.
Both of these characters are great.  Both have some realizations that happen. 
I think Banks may be my favorite though and I can't wait until his book!


  About the Author: USA Today and Washington Post bestselling author Adriana Locke lives and breathes books. After years of slightly obsessive relationships with the flawed bad boys created by other authors, Adriana has created her own.   She resides in the Midwest with her husband, sons, and two dogs. She spends a large amount of time playing with her kids, drinking coffee, and cooking. You can find her outside if the weather's nice and there's always a piece of candy in her pocket.

This is book ten in the Men of Inked: Heatwave series.  They are stand alones, but each book has been great.

This is Luna and Nevin's story.

This is a little tamer, than the others.  It's still an awesome read.

Luna is a badass!  Nevin is a great guy that would do anything for his brothers.  And he proved it!

Nevin and Luna had completely opposite upbringings.  But they are both great people.

**RELEASE BLITZ WITH REVIEW** Taking The Fight by L.P. Dover




Title: Taking the Fight
Series: Gloves Off - Next Generation #2
Author: L.P. Dover
Genre: MMA Fighter/Mafia Romance
Release Date: July 26, 2022


BLURB

L.P. Dover, the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who brought you the tantalizing Gloves Off series, presents Gloves Off – Next Generation. This brand-new saga of interconnected standalones unites new characters with beloved originals in dark and sexy stories laced with suspense!

Two months ago, everything changed. The enemy no longer feels the need to sulk in the shadows. Instead, he hides in plain sight and prepares his attack… against Reagan Jameson.

Reagan knew this day would come. She proudly holds the featherweight title and is known as one of the sexiest female fighters in MMA history. She can handle her own, and that’s exactly what she plans to do with Nikolai. Unfortunately, things aren’t as they were before. When given an offer she can’t refuse, Reagan is well aware nothing good will come of it.

They promised her power, prestige, and money… a world full of intrigue and dangerous desires. Not being able to resist the allure, she gives in and becomes a pawn in their game. She’s able to fool those closest to her into believing everything is okay… except for Braden Emerson.

Braden’s reputation as one of the toughest fighters in the circuit hasn’t gone unnoticed. In fact, it’s his skills that get him lured into the pit of danger. While he vows to keep Reagan safe no matter the cost, his desire for her is used against him. As passion ignites between the pair, they must work together if they hope to survive.

Fighting for a title is one thing, but nothing beats the stakes of fighting for love. This is one TKO that could cost them everything.

This is the second book in the Gloves Off: Next Generation.
This is Reagen and Braden's story.
Both of these characters are the champions for their weight class.  Both have followed in their parent's footsteps.
It's now their turn against Nikolia. Well, not just Nikolia, there are a few more players this time.  Players on both sides.  
This will have you on the edge of your seat.
It's a great read.  I'm ready for more

**RELEASE BLITZ WITH REVIEW** The Godparent Trap by Rachel Van Dyken


The Godparent Trap by Rachel Van Dyken is now live!

Life's Too Short meets The Unhoneymooners in this sparkling, steamy, and swoon-worthy novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken, in which two sworn enemies must share house, home—and maybe their hearts—when they become co-parents after a sudden loss.

Colby's living her best life: as a popular food blogger, she gets to fulfill her dreams of exploring the globe. But her world comes crashing down when a tragic accident leaves her co-guardian of her best friend's two adorable children. Not only does she need to put down roots—fast—but she'll be sharing custody with the one man she can't stand sharing a continent with, let alone a house.

Accountant-extraordinaire Rip values rules and plans. But when he loses his sister and his best friend and becomes an insta-guardian all in one night, Rip sees his organized life imploding. What he really doesn't need is his sister's irresponsible, flighty—albeit kind and gorgeous—best friend making it worse.

Rip doesn't trust Colby to take their new responsibilities seriously, while Colby can't believe Rip thinks children will thrive under his rigid control. Yet soon Rip and Colby discover they need each other more than they hate each other. Could it be possible that following their hearts is just what their new little family needs?

I don't even know where to start with this review.  Rachel has done it again.  I'm speechless.  Well, almost speechless!

This book will definitely be on my top 5 reads for the year.

At 90% I really didn't want to keep reading.  I didn't want the book to be finished.

Both Colby and Rip are amazing.  Yes, they both struggled.  But who wouldn't when put in this situation?

They are opposites for the most part.  And now they have to become parents to two kids that just lost theirs. 

This book will have you laughing out loud, but on the next page you'll be crying ugly tears.

You will have all the emotions.  That's what makes Rachel such a fantastic and amazing author.

I want more!
