REVIEW: REVELATIONS OF A SECRET PRINCESS BY ANNIE WEST

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A mother's love, an uncle's devotion and the secrets that could be their undoing. Revelations of a Secret Princess is a heartbreaking trek through past mistakes, present deception and the redeeming power of love.

These characters stay on your mind and in your heart, long after the last page is through.

ONE NIGHT STAND-IN (BOYFRIEND MATERIAL) BY LAUREN BLAKELY 

 

 

Release Date: March 2, 2020

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Lucas Xavier is the last person I want to spend 24 hours with, let alone two minutes. Exes are exes for a reason. In his case, for a million reasons. Because he's not only an ex-lover, he's also an ex-friend. We didn't just break up - we combusted in a spectacular bonfire of barbs and doors slammed.

Nothing will change that. Not his clever wit, not his ridiculous good looks, not his unfair levels of charm. And definitely not a wild dash through the city that takes us on an accidental scavenger hunt through our past, where we stop for a tango lesson, pancakes and a visit with some llamas.

And certainly not time together to make amends and say we're sorry.

But, let's say that was enough...it's not like you can fall in love in 24 hours.

One Night Stand-In is a Boyfriend Material series standalone! Three best friends. Three outrageous proposals. Three chances to fall in ove. Three brand new standalones from Lauren Blakely!

One Night Stand-In (Boyfriend Material #3)One Night Stand-In by Lauren Blakely

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A dash of charm goes a long way in tempting the heart. Blakely knows how to ignite the senses. One Night Stand-in is a little bit naughty, a whole lot of funny and even manages to squeeze in a smidge of heartwarming. Lola and Lucas have to face an unfinished past, if they ever hope to have a chance at a future. What seems like an uphill battle becomes a road map to forever with a few curveballs thrown in along the way. Blakely makes every moment count. That's what makes her characters so irresistible.

CRAVE (THE CLARK FAMILY) BY EVELYN SOLA

 

 

Release Date: March 2, 2020

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Sandra

 

Before THAT night, the over the top party and the cake incident, I spent

Saturday nights with girlfriends, lamenting my life over margaritas.

I wasn’t ready for Jacob Clark. He was sin and dark edges, wrapped in regret.

He was my kryptonite. His words oozed over me like warm honey.

His dark eyes pricked my soul, and his touch….those

fingers set my skin on fire. Of course, he was too good to be true.

And before I could wipe the icing off my greedy lips, I was

walking away.

So, why was he invading her dreams?

 

 

Jacob

 

She was the remedy to everything. Until my family, my past provoked me. 

I made one little scene, and Sandra walked away without a word, despite our

mind-blowing connection. When I finally barged in on her life again, she told

me she didn’t want me. I told her in her pretty face she did. She more than

wanted me. Remember the ache? When I’m with her, it goes away. 

If she wants a chase, I’ll give her one. 

Who knows? When I catch her, I might never let go.

REVIEWCRAVE (THE CLARK FAMILY) BY EVELYN SOLA

 

CraveCrave by Evelyn Sola

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I took a risk and fell in love. The Clark Family is a hot mess, but proved to be a captivating one. Sola pulls emotions into a perfect little soap opera. There's heartbreaking betrayal, powerful attraction and more love than even I expected. Jacob is a contradiction that was worth being explored. Caught up in a downward spiral of anger and bitterness, he finds his redemption in the most unlikely of places. Sandra is his total opposite. They have nothing in common except for an unpredictable, all consuming attraction that threatens to swallow them whole. Crave is an explosive introduction to a family as fiery as the author who created them.

BITCH (CHAUVINIST STORIES #1) BY ELISE FABER

 

 

Release Date: March 2, 2020

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

They’d always called her a bitch.

 

But she didn’t think that was a bad thing.

 

Bitches were strong, tough AF, spoke their minds, and definitely didn’t take any crap from anyone. So when anyone called Olivia a bitch, she took it as the best type of compliment. She was strong and tough, never hesitated to speak her mind, and was about as far away from a pushover as one could get.

 

Great for her job—she’d become a VP at Prestige Media Group, managing some of the best athletes in the world and she was excellent at her career of choice.

 

Great for her bank account—it was flush, and she could live well on her salary, even in expensive San Francisco.

 

Not so great for her love life.

 

Turned out that most guys weren’t super into women who could take care of themselves, women who didn’t need rescuing. Either that, or they wanted her to take care of them, including every night out and sometimes even rent. Now, she didn’t mind paying her fair share, but that’s where she drew the line. Her fair share. As in, she was looking for a partner, not an owner or, worse, to be someone’s mother.

 

She wanted an equal. But she’d all but given up on finding that.

 

Until, Cole.

 

Cole was about as far away from Olivia’s city girl polish as one could get. A retired hockey player, he wore jeans to her suits, cowboy boots to her heels, ate simple food to her gourmet. Hell, he lived on a ranch half the year.

 

And yet . . . he also challenged her mind. Never gave her an inch. Not to mention, he was gorgeous, kind, incredibly insightful and always, always, called her on her B.S.

 

He’d done it when she’d been his agent, and continued to do it every time they talked.

 

The only difference now was that she was no longer his agent and so Olivia was faced with the age-old question . . .

 

Did she play it safe or take a leap of faith?

REVIEWBITCH (CHAUVINIST STORIES #1) BY ELISE FABER

 

Bitch (Chauvinist Stories Book 1)Bitch by Elise Faber

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


In life sometimes the greatest strength is allowing ourselves to be weak. Faber takes on stereotypes, romance and sexism in a hardcore kind of way. Olivia is a character that knows what she wants, is determined to get it and has no fear in her approach to succeed. That all changes when it comes to falling in love. Is she secure enough to find her vulnerable side when it comes to matters of the heart? Bitch is a contradiction that seems like an enigma, but makes perfect sense.

FOR THE WIN (WYNN HOCKEY) BY KELLY JAMIESON

 

 

Release Date: March 3, 2020

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Harrison Wynn

Even though I’m the oldest player on the farm team, I’m playing my heart out this year to prove that I have what it takes to compete in the NHL.

Everyone expects me to live up to my dying hockey hero dad’s legacy, but my chances are receding every season.

What I need is to focus, but the team’s new yoga instructor is a major distraction; I’ve had my eye on her from the first time we met.

Except she’s not interested—okay, maybe actively disinterested—since I accidentally dumped her into the ocean during our paddleboard yoga class.

How can I prove to her—and to the NHL—that I’m worth taking a chance on?

 

Arya Ross

Men are the last thing I need in my life.

Yoga is my priority; it helps me center myself and heal my soul.

But I can’t turn down the once-in-a-lifetime offer to be the personal yoga instructor for the local hockey team.

Sure, there are some cute players—including Harrison Wynn, who seemingly won’t take no for an answer, and whose boyish smile and sexy charm are hard to resist.

He seems genuine, and I wonder . . .

Can I put my past behind me to start a future with him?

SYNOPSIS

 

From USA Today bestselling author Kat Mizera comes a brand new series of standalone royal romances. Meet the sexy men who protect the royal family and the strong women who make them fall irrevocably in love…

 

I’m Prince Sandor Gustaffson and I could have it all.

Problem is, I don’t want it. Any of it.

 

I've never embraced my status in the royal family, but after eleven years in the shadows, I'm about to be forced into the spotlight.

 

As head of security for the royal family, I'm being pulled in a million directions as my family works to rebuild our country.

 

But I only want to look in one direction: Lennox Briggs.

 

She’s a thorn in my side and has been since she was brought in as the first woman on our security team. She’s more than qualified, but a distraction I don’t need. Getting involved with her would be a mistake.

 

Too bad my heart—and other regions—aren’t listening.

 

After so many years protecting the people I love, how do I choose between my heart and my duty?

 

Because I definitely can’t have both.

REVIEWSANDOR (ROYAL PROTECTORS) BY KAT MIZERA
 
Sandor (Royal Protectors #1)Sandor by Kat Mizera

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Mizera gives emotions quite a workout. Sandor doesn't make liking him easy. He's a heartbreaker who knows how to live in the shadows, but is forced to step into the light. Drama follows him. Love evades him and temptation lures him. Can his heart's desire give him shelter from the danger that is coming their way? Mizera turns love into an adventure of the heart that will steal away with your heart. Nobody does romance like Kat Mizera. (4.5 stars)

Reluctantly Alpha (The Barrington Billionaires, #8)Reluctantly Alpha by Ruth Cardello

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Reluctantly Alpha is a reminder of what we often times forget. Through Connor and Angelina, Cardello reminds us we're human. Being less than perfect is never easy, however it's our flaws that teach us the most valuable lessons in life. Connor is someone worthy of the moniker "hero". Through his eyes we see empathy, hope and honor that far outshines his flaws. From start to finish, there is something to love about Reluctantly Alpha. It speaks to every emotion that we forget to acknowledge and reminds our hearts that we can do better with a little effort and a lot of love.

THE SHEIKH'S SURPRISE TWINS (QADIR SHEIKHS) BY LESLIE NORTH 

 

 

 

Release DateFebruary 24, 2020

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Holly Remington can’t believe the burning chemistry she feels with Sheikh Malik Abdul-Rahman. It’s like getting knocked in the head with a baseball bat—except far more pleasant. Though she’s supposed to be all business while her company tries to win a lucrative development contract in the oil-rich country of Qadir, Holly simply can’t stop herself from happily succumbing to his charm. When she’s called back home after her father suffers a stroke, thoughts of her sheikh romance are never far away. It’s only when she’s ready to return to Qadir to continue her work that she discovers Malik gave her more than sexy memories. She’s pregnant—with twins. And when she sees him again, Malik makes it painfully clear he’s not only rejecting her development proposal, he’s not interested in any other formal proposal either. He wants all of her.

But Holly isn’t sure that’s available, or ever will be.

Sheikh Malik has never reacted to another woman like he does Holly. She’s all business—at least in the beginning—and he finds himself oddly compelled to get to know her other side. Intimately. When he finds out she’s pregnant with his children, he finds himself wanting her more. But when Holly begins to talk about how she wants to develop his oasis herself—the one that her company had been desperate to buy and the very one his mother loved and hoped one day would belong to Malik’s future wife, he pulls the breaks on their whirlwind romance. How can he love a woman who seems so out of touch with everything he values?

And yet, how can he not love the only woman whose ever touched his soul?

USA Today Bestseller Leslie North invites you to indulge in a sexy sheikh romance with a smoldering billionaire, alpha male Sheikh falling for his head-strong American woman in this interracial romance...

This novel contains sexual content.

The Spitfire Society...

 

Meet the smart, independent women who’ve decided they don’t need Society’s rules, their families’ expectations, or, most importantly, a husband. But just because they don’t need a man doesn’t mean they might not want one.

 

Notorious rake Marcus Raleigh, Marquess of Ripley, is gracing the gossip pages for a new reason: the rumors he may have murdered his swindling cousin. His quest for answers regarding his cousin’s death leads him to an incomparable self-declared spinster, and he is—for the first time—beguiled beyond reason. Neither is what the other wants, and yet their intense mutual infatuation is inescapable.

 

After abandoning her philandering betrothed at the altar, Phoebe Lennox fled from London only to return an heiress who refuses to follow the ton’s rules. She won’t risk a relationship of any kind—until she meets the scandalous Marquess of Ripley. Swept into his seductive embrace, her resolve falters in the face of a pleasure she never anticipated. But when the truth about Marcus and the murder come to light, Phoebe could lose everything she holds dear, including a love for all time.
