BOOK BUZZ (DEALS, REVEALS AND NEW/UPCOMING RELEASES FOR SATURDAY, MAY 24, 2025)

 




๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ NEW RELEASE ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ






Confronting my family’s nemesis wasn’t on my to-do list. Neither was falling for him.


After my difficult divorce, I thought my life was over. But now, I’m happier and more successful than I could’ve ever imagined. My cosmetics business is thriving and I’m almost ready to get back out there and find Mr. Right. Almost.


When I hear that a therapy ranch on the Bayou is seeking an investor, I jump at the opportunity. I know only too well that spending time with animals is healing.


When I visit the owners to ask for details, I find out I’m not the only one interested. Zachary LeBlanc is also there to make an offer. Why is that a problem? His family ruined my family’s reputation. He immediately tries to discredit me in front of the owners. Needless to say, I’m ready to give Zachary LeBlanc a piece of my mind.


Days later, I spot Zachary in the French Quarter, at the edge of the Mississippi River. As I hurry over to give it to him good, the unthinkable happens and I fall into the river! I’m certain I’ll drown, but he somehow pulls me out. That’s when I see an entirely new side to this man — though maybe I’m still in shock from the trauma. Zachary is kind and patient, but before long, we’re back to arguing again.


And that’s when he kisses me! After he pulls back, I wonder if his intention was to shut me up, or if he’s truly attracted to me.


One thing I know for sure; I've met my match in Zachary Leblanc. Because I'm not going down without a fight, and neither is he.


There are so many reasons why we can’t be together. So why am I ignoring all of them?

He never expected to return to his hometown, but now he can’t leave her behind again.

Dr. Dalton Hart left his small Southern beach town fifteen years ago to become a Navy SEAL. Now he’s back, and Sandy Point is buzzing over his return.

wanted a one-night stand. Instead, I got a full-blown situation.


The Situation by @authoradrianalocke is now LIVE!


".... temptation with personality. The Brewer Family takes endearing to a whole other level. From sweet and spicy to humorous and emotional, Locke knows her way around a heart." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)







The Situation by Adriana Locke 

Model Cover: Kari March 

Model Photographer: Michelle Lancaster, @lanefotograf

Special Edition Cover: Books and Moods 



Synopsis:

Someone should tell Tate Brewer that one-night stands aren’t supposed to come with a sequel.

I’ve learned the hard way—don’t be reckless with anything, least of all my heart. But after one too many lemon drop martinis, saying yes to a much younger, devastatingly smooth stranger for one wild night seems like the perfect way to forget my brutal divorce. I even gave him a fake name. What could go wrong?

Lots. Because a few weeks later, he’s no longer a stranger. He’s suddenly the Chief Marketing Officer at my new job.

Tate Brewer isn’t the type of man to let a good thing slip away, and he’s determined to prove our night together was on the beginning. But the faster I build walls, the quicker he tears them down—along with my self-control. Stolen glances turn into late-night “work” meetings, and before I know it, I’m tangled in a web of office politics, scorching tension, and a man who refuses to let me walk away.

Will I push him away before he gets too close … or finally surrender to a situation that feels too good, and dangerously real?

Get all of the Florida Billionaires by J.S. Scott in one collection!


"Heartache with a hint of mystery and a great deal of tempting romance. No one does swoonworthy like J.S. Scott." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)






The Billionaire's Obsession~Simon
Will the reclusive, stubborn, bossy billionaire be my rescuer, or the biggest mistake of my life?

You could say I'm a nursing student who is definitely down on her luck. My entire life has been a struggle for me. But I'm almost through the hard times. Until....disaster strikes just as I enter the home stretch. I'm about to be homeless, and I'll end up kissing all my dreams goodbye unless some kind of miracle happens, and great things just don't happen to a girl like me. Or so I thought...until a miracle shows up in the form of the mysterious, stubborn, handsome billionaire, Simon Hudson. He makes me a bargain that's almost impossible to refuse. Do I dare trust a wealthy mystery man that I don't even know? Simon has secrets and hidden pain that inexplicably draws me to him, but once I'm caught up in his web, will he ever let me go?

Heart Of The Billionaire ~ Sam
Billionaire Sam Hudson has pretty much lived his life with no apologies because he tries never to do anything that he’s sorry about…except for what he had done in the past to Dr. Madeline Reynolds. Many years and regrets later, Sam meets up with Maddie again by chance. His brother Simon is marrying Maddie’s best friend and the two of them are forced to be civil. But Sam wants to be more than polite, and he wants another chance to make things right, so he offers Maddie a bold proposition, an offer he knows she’ll have a very hard time declining even though she hates him.

The Billionaire's Salvation ~ Max
Billionaire Max Hamilton thought he was finally starting to find contentment after losing his wife, Mia, in a tragic drowning accident. He finally had family again, a reprieve from the pain and loneliness that had haunted him since his devastating loss. Yeah…he was as happy as a man could be, considering he had lost the other half of his soul and most of his heart when fate had torn his wife away from him. Or so he believed…until the day he rescued a mysterious woman in the park, a female who somehow had managed to reignite a part of him that he thought was long dead. Suddenly, Max's protective, dominant, possessive male instincts flare to life, leaving him at a loss as to how lightning could possibly strike twice in one lifetime. Is he truly being given another chance at real happiness, or would it be dangled in front of him, only to be taken away once again?

The Billionaire's Game ~ Kade
With his professional football career over due to a tragic accident, billionaire Kade Harrison takes on the task of solving a mystery for his brother-in-law and friend, Max Hamilton. Without his former career to fill every minute of the day, Kade's looking for something to challenge him. But what starts out as a simple favor soon becomes a whole lot more than he bargained for when the woman he's seeking slips away from him every time he gets close to finding her.

Billionaire Undone ~ Travis
After four years of working for “the billionaire boss from hell” Ally Caldwell thinks she finally has her life on the right track. Unfortunately, her carefully planned future crumbles when she finds out that her fiancรฉ has been cheating on her. Suddenly, her carefully organized life is turned upside down, and not one single thing is turning out the way it was supposed to happen. Her boss,Travis, the one man who she’d always counted on to be a jerk, was now the guy who actually steps up to try and help her straighten her life out again. Ally wants to hate Travis. It makes her life so much simpler to fight with him than to admit to the combustible chemistry growing between the two of them. But as she begins to see more and more of the real Travis beneath his dark faรงade, she can’t seem to resist the dangerous lure of their unlikely attraction.

 UNTIL THE RAKE SURRENDERS (ROGUE RULES #5) BY DARCY BURKE


"....a spicy sweetheart that makes all the right moves. Min and Evan break all the rules of romance. Emotion runs deep, temptation burns bright and heartache is inevitable." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)




Release Date: May 22, 2025


When a young lady is ruined, her friends vow none of them will ever be ensnared by a scoundrel again. They will resist every gentleman’s charms even—and especially—if it means gaining a reputation for being impossible to woo. It will take extraordinary rogues to break their rules...

It will take nothing less than the promise of a heart-stopping, breath-catching, happily ever after to woo Lady Minerva Halifax into marriage, but that dream seems doomed. She only attracts money- and position-hungry rogues because she’s the daughter of a wealthy duke. Then her friend’s dashingly irrepressible brother, Evan Price, is injured showing off at a house party, and Min ends up caring for him. As unexpected sparks flash between them, she wonders if Cupid may finally be circling.

Evan foolishly falls for his reluctant nurse, but he knows he doesn’t stand a chance of winning her hand without a title. Min is forced back onto the Marriage Mart by her parents, and Evan returns to filling the hollows inside himself with daring adventures and fleeting flirtations. He suddenly finds himself the most desired bachelor in Bath—except by the one person he really wants.

But when an absolute scoundrel swoops in to claim Min, Evan must bare his heart and risk everything or chance losing her forever.

Why you will love this book…
❤️ Small Town
❤️ Enemies to Lovers
❤️ Forced Proximity
❤️ Hot Rock Star
❤️ Sassy Heroine
❤️ Grumpy/Sunshine

From New York Times Bestselling Author, J.C. Reed, comes a new, hot, romantic novel.

The guy I just met at the mansion I inherited from a complete stranger? He's drop-dead gorgeous. Sexy. And rude with a Capital R. Turns out he's not the hot gardener as I wrongly assumed. He's not only a famous rockstar who grew up in the house, he's also ready to fight for it. And being both hot-headed and Irish, he's going to fight hard and dirty. I'm not moving out. Full Stop.

But neither is he.

So we agree on some simple rules.

We'll play roommates for a while. What could possibly go wrong? Living together with an Irish Hothead will surely cause a major storm. Let's hope bracing that storm won't turn into a hurricane.



REVIEWBRACING THE STORM BY J.C. REED

A raging of hearts that's fighting to be heard. Lori and Patrick bring every emotion to the surface with cataclysmic results. Passion burns bright, heartache runs deep and understanding is an uphill battle. Reed blends turbulent attraction and endearing romance to create a storm worth bracing yourself for. Bracing the Storm is electric.

๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ COVER & BLURB REVEAL๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ





FALLEN GODS by Rachel Van Dyken​ will be here on August 19!


๐Ÿ”ฅPre-Order Now: https://geni.us/fallengods


Everything you've ever known is a lie. The gods weren't heroes. The giants weren't monsters.






The final blurb for Fallen Gods is finally HERE!


You've been warned. Fall for the villain-live to see another day.Fall for the hero... and pay.


They say the Gods are myth. That the Giants were only stories told around dying fires. They lied.


The gods aren’t dead—they’re only sleeping, locked in mortal bodies, scattered across the world, waiting for the right spark to wake them. And Odin, the most ruthless of them all, is my father.


He raised me to obey. To bleed. To be his blade when the time came. Now he’s sending me to Endir University, a place filled with ancient bloodlines and deadly secrets, to steal back Mjolnir, the hammer that once belonged to my dead brother. If I fail, everyone I love dies.


But Aric Westberg wasn’t part of the plan. He’s the enemy’s heir. Distant. Dangerous. And somehow…familiar. He doesn’t know what he is yet—or what he carries—but I do. And the more I’m ordered to unravel him, the harder it becomes to remember where the lies end and I begin.


Because there’s no clean line between survival and surrender anymore. No comfort in the stories I’ve told myself to make any of this feel justified.


Only a mission I never chose—and a man I was never meant to care about—standing between me and the end of the world.


If I’m the spark, he’s the fuse. And the gods? They’re about to wake up angry.


๐Ÿ”ฅThe countdown begins.
