Tonya's Review

4 Stars

This is a great start to the Lindell series.  If you're up to date on the Cerebures series, you know about Lindell.  This book isn't about that tragedy though.  Although Chase did lose his mom that day.

Chase and Madison are both back in Lindell.  Both of their dreams didn't work out.  Neither did their relationships. 

Their story is bumpy.  Both have major trust issues. 

It's funny how their parents set everything up at the end.

This is a great start.

Marie James is a full-time author, mother of two boys, and wife of 18+ years. Dog Mom to four great danes: Maximus, Sassy, Kiki, and Hargid

She has spent almost my entire lifetime living in central Texas, with only short stays in South Carolina, Alabama, and Florida. She is currently residing in a sleepy little town in East Tennessee.

Writing is her passion, and she absolutely loves being able to sit down and put all of her thoughts and emotions into her stories.

She loves dogs, coffee, making handmade cards, and reading steamy romance novels!

**RELEASE BLITZ WITH REVIEW** Something Like Love by Piper Rayne

 

Something Like Love by Piper Rayne is now live! 

I want to.

I can’t.

I’ve been friends with Cooper Rice from the moment we met. He was just as famous a decade ago on our college campus as he is now being the star quarterback for the Chicago Grizzlies.

But he’s not only talented on the field, he’s also the gorgeous football star women fawn over, posing in underwear and razor ads.

Here’s a secret those women don’t know—Cooper Rice isn’t a playboy. He’s the kind of man who wants to settle down with a family. He’s content ordering pizza and massaging my feet after my long shift as an emergency room doctor. He listens to me as if he’s as invested as I am in my patients. He has never let me down.

This is exactly why I refuse to live without Cooper in my life. Eight years ago, I made him promise me that we’d never cross that line. And just like I knew Cooper would, he’s held to that promise.

Despite our best efforts, our relationship is evolving, shifting into new territory and I find myself unsure if I want Cooper to keep that promise. Ignoring the obvious could tear us apart, but so could giving in, meaning there’s a chance I’ll lose Cooper forever no matter what decision I make.

Tonya's Review

5 Stars

This is the third and final book in the Chicago Grizzlies.

This is Cooper and Ellery.

We've been waiting for these two to admit their feelings for each other, since the first book!

Well, it finally happens.  Just took them 10 years!

I do love these two together.  But I hated the decision Ellery made.

We do get a surprise and what the next series is about.....The Nest.

That's all I'm gonna say.  But I am excited for one of the books.  I was hoping a certain character from a previous series would have a story, and now he will!

**RELEASE BLITZ WITH REVIEW** Dare by Chelle Bliss

 

Dare by Chelle Bliss is now live! 

Austin Moore found his purpose in the military, but there was always something missing. He wanted what everyone in his family had...someone to call his own. But his life didn't make it easy to find a soul mate, someone to be his forever.

Sage Hill enlisted to follow in the footsteps of her father, but never wanted to be in his shadow. And when her friend ditches her at a dive bar, she catches the eye of a handsome stranger. But Sage doesn't have time for relationships, nor does she want the complication.

When Sage is stuck, Austin tries to be her saving grace and a challenge leads to a lip lock neither one of them can forget. She swore she'd never fall for a strong and bossy man like her father, but she soon learns there's more than meets the eye underneath that sexy exterior.

This is another great read in The Inked series.  I absolutely love the Gallos.  They are such an awesome family.

This is Austin and Sage’s story.

Austin is Pike’s little brother.  So he isn’t a Gallo by blood, but he is a Gallo nonetheless.

He is a Navy SEAL.

Sage is a Navy SEAL brat.  But she is currently active duty and stationed to a ship herself.

I love how these two met.

They fought their feelings for awhile.  Claiming “just friends”. 

These two are perfect for each other though.

This is such a great read.  And of course I can’t wait for more!

**REVIEW TOUR** What happens At The Lake by Vi Keeland

Title: What Happens at the Lake

Author: Vi Keeland

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Trope: Grumpy-Sunshine

Release Date: January 15, 2024

BLURB

When life took an unexpected turn, I decided to get out of New York for a while. What better place to go than the idyllic small town my father spoke about so fondly when I was growing up? Laurel Lake held the title America’s Friendliest Town for seventeen years running, and friendly was just what I needed right now.

Unfortunately, friendly wasn’t the welcome I got when I arrived.

Instead, I got Fox Cassidy. My tall, dark, and burly neighbor, who grunted at me instead of saying hello.

Okay, so I might’ve had his mailbox in my hands the first time we met. And it might’ve been a little crushed after removing it from under my tire. And I might’ve needed his help breaking into the place I was staying in after the key broke off in the lock. But still…he didn’t have to be so grumpy.

As time went on though, I started to notice things about Fox other than his glares. Like how he watched me when he thought I wasn’t looking, or how fire ignited in his eyes whenever we bickered. Though I was in Laurel Lake to escape my problems, not create new ones. And getting involved with a man like Fox screamed trouble, even if he was gorgeous and unlike any man I’d ever met.

But alas, problem seemed to be my middle name this year. So why not have some fun while I was here for the summer? It seemed like a good plan. At least until it was time to go home…

They say what happens at the lake, stays at the lake. But it’s not so easy to walk away when what stays behind…is your heart.

Tonya's Review

5 Stars

This is another fantastic stand alone by Vi Keeland.

I absolutely love both Josie and Fox.

The sunshine/grump trope is one of my favorites!

Josie is the sunshine in this story.  She has recently gone through a lot.  She has had some struggles.  She is overcoming and getting better.

Being in her dad's hometown is helping her even more.

She's getting back to herself. 

Fox is the grumpy contractor next door.  His past isn't pretty.  There are some tragedies that have happened.  He's a great guy.  He just has so much guilt.  

These two are great for each other.  They are bringing life back to one another.

This is a great read!
