Five Dates with the Billionaire Alyssa J. Montgomery is on SALE!

Posted on Feb 25, 2021 with No comments


Alyssa J. Montgomery


To ensure his grandmother agrees to the surgery she needs, billionaire Connor Stewart allows her to blackmail him into dating his employee, Mia Simms. After all, it’s not like he’ll fall in love after only five dates… right?

PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION

USA TODAY BESTSELLER

‘I’m insisting you date her. Five dates together, then I’ll have this surgery.’

Billionaire CEO Connor Stewart is being blackmailed. By his own grandmother, no less, who is refusing to have life-saving surgery unless Connor dates Mia Simms, his dull and dowdy marketing employee.

For Violet’s sake, Connor agrees to the crazy scheme. There’s no risk of breaking his ‘short-term only’ rule with Mia Simms; she’s not the kind of woman Connor is interested in ... and he’s sure she’s hiding something. He just doesn’t expect it to be delicious curves and a firecracker personality.

Mia Simms is hiding something, and it’s much more dangerous than her looks. All she wants to do is live life in the safety of the shadows and avoid discovery. But perhaps a short-term fling is exactly what she needs to remind her to live.

But what if Violet is right to push them together? Can Mia trust Connor enough to let him see the real person behind the facade she’s built? Or is Violet’s little scheme about to put both their lives in danger?

Early ARC: Beguiled by Darynda Jones

Posted on Feb 21, 2021 with No comments



A Paranormal Women's Fiction with a bit of class, and a lot of sass, for anyone who feels like age is just a number!

Newly indoctrinated witch, Defiance Dayne, discovers there’s more to life after forty than she'd ever imagined possible. Especially if one is a charmling, one of only three in the world, with enough magics to make her a target for every power-hungry warlock out there. When one of them sends a hunter to town, she knows it’s time to take her talents seriously before the hunter takes her life.

She decides she has three things to do before she can die. Find out who killed her beloved grandmother, teach her BFF the finer points of spellcasting before she blows up the world, and figure out how serious her relationship with the Adonis living in her basement really is. If it’s heading in the direction she’s hoping for, she can die happy. Though, admittedly, she’d rather not. Die. Happy or otherwise.

None of that will matter, however, if she can’t figure out how to foil the supernatural assassin who’s been sent for her. Until then, it’s business—and hopefully romance—as usual. Now if she can only figure out how to tame a lacuna wolf.



5 STARS

 

Beguiled is another wonderful story in the Betwixt and Between series!  Jones delivers her signature laughs and right out, "Didn't see that coming!" throughout the story.  The sexy, Roane is back and better than ever. Defiance finally comes to grips with her magic and works out her relationship issues with the tasty shifter. Beguiled has just the right amount of mystery and steaminess. I am thrilled that Annette will have her own story in the next book.

Review: The Princess and the Rogue by Kate Bateman

Posted on Dec 19, 2020 with No comments

Kate Bateman

A princess in disguise is forced to live with a rogue in order to protect her from danger in this fun, sexy regency romance from Kate Bateman.

In The Princess and the Rogue, Bow Street agent Sebastien Wolff, Earl of Mowbray, doesn’t believe in love—until a passionate kiss with a beautiful stranger in a brothel forces him to reconsider. When the mysterious woman is linked to an intrigue involving a missing Russian princess, however, Seb realizes her air of innocence was too good to be true.

Princess Anastasia Denisova has been hiding in London as plain ‘Anna Brown’. With a dangerous traitor hot on her trail, her best option is to accept Wolff’s offer of protection—and accommodation—at his gambling hell. But living in such close quarters, and aiding Wolff in his Bow Street cases, fans the flames of their mutual attraction. If Anya’s true identity is revealed, does their romance stand a chance? Could a princess ever marry a rogue?


5 STARS


I was thrilled with this book. Bateman pulls you right into the story. Anastasia and Seb have quite the chemistry in this exciting story. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Release Day Blitz: Karolina Dalca, Dark Eyes by M.R. Noble

Posted on Dec 16, 2020 with No comments

 




Karolina Dalca, Dark Eyes
by M.R. Noble

Blurb:

Blindsided by an attack that destroys her home and blamed for murder, Karolina Dalca, a half-vampire, escapes, only to plunge into the magical societies from which she was sheltered.

Betrayed by those around her, she abandons her dreams of becoming an investigator and flees, trusting only herself. Her police internship would never prove more useful. Hoofing it through the wilderness, she makes it to her university dorm, disheveled but delightfully deflowered.

Enter a full vampire: one wielding dark magic and a ride out of Canada. A fugitive from the law, Karo complies with his demands to escape, unsure whether his requests are bewitched. She vows to clear her name and avenge her mother's death, but Karo's family secrets aren't so easily left behind.

Excerpt

“Who are you anyway?” I asked.
            “Andre,” he said. “Private Investigator, but I'll do anything for money.” He winked. 
            “You’re not human,” I said. “What are you?” I stretched out my Charmed senses and felt magic within him.
            “I'm a vampire, princess. Same as you, but with a little extra dark superpower. I'm a full vamp though, and from what I can tell from your dismal amount of speed out there, you’re half.” 
            He dragged a chair from the wall and sat across from me.
            “You have the Dark Charm?” I asked. “I should have figured; you ooze sleaze bag.”
            “And you have a little something special up your sleeve too, don't you, princess? I bet you get a little hot now and then, don't you?”
            I narrowed my eyes. 
             “And with a name like Karolina Dalca . . . I bet you've got enough training to back up that look you’re giving me.”
            He knew my name, my powers, and where to find me. My eyes fell over his body, sizing him up as he sat across from me. Strong jaw, tall, six feet and maybe four inches, and muscular broad shoulders. I could take him—if I took him by surprise.

Blog Tour: Black List by Lynn Raye Harris

Posted on Nov 27, 2020 with No comments



Black List
(HOT Heroes for Hire: Mercenaries Black's Bandits, Book 1)
By Lynn Raye Harris
Narrated by Emma Wilder and Joe Arden


Blurb:

Jace Kaiser is a man without a country, without connection. His only loyalty is to the group who saved him, and the man who leads them. Until her...

The assignment should have been easy. Capture a deadly assassin and take her to HQ. But flawed intel leads to disaster, and Jace abducts a beautiful art appraiser instead. Intrigued by her courage, he's drawn to her in ways he can't explain. Dr. Madeline Cole stood up to him, fought for her identity, and never backed down. She's the kind of woman he could fall for if it wasn't so dangerous - for her.

Then Maddy is targeted for elimination because she's the sole person who can identify the mysterious female assassin - and the only thing standing between her and certain death is the sexy mercenary who swears he'll die before he lets anything happen to her. As the passion between them ignites, it seems clear that keeping Maddy safe has become the most important assignment of Jace's life.

Even then, protecting her might not be enough - because Jace has secrets that could destroy them both. And someone is determined to unmask them all...
