THAT THING YOU DO (WHISPERING BAY) BY MARIA GERACI

SYNOPSIS

Allie Grant doesn’t believe in second chances. She does, however, believe in the power of a permanent paycheck. So when a tipster reports that the soon-to-be demolished senior center in her hometown is haunted, Allie hightails it to Whispering Bay to get the scoop that could secure her dream job at Florida! magazine. What she finds, though, is far scarier than any ghost. Cue her ex-boyfriend, sexy construction foreman Tom Donalan.

When Tom catches Allie poking around his construction site, he quickly realizes his former high school flame is just as feisty as ever. And, heaven help him, her irresistible, mile-high legs still take his breath away. But Tom isn’t about to delay the building’s demolition because of a silly ghost story.

With neither of the stubborn exes backing down from their opposing positions, sparks fly. And, underneath the surface, the fire of their old attraction burns as hot as ever. When strange things start happening with increasing frequency around town, even a tough skeptic like Tom is tested. The question is, can Allie and Tom stop fighting long enough to get to the bottom of Whispering Bay’s ghost problem—and the more important matter of mending their broken hearts?

That Thing You Do by Maria Geraci

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


It's fun to follow Ms. Geraci's work and watch her grow as an author. Her ability to blend the whimsical characters she creates with rapid pace stories that keep readers interested is not something you see often. That Thing You Do uses angst and comedy to relate a story that is full of irresistible moments. Flirty, sassy and entertaining.

READ AND REVIEW

TO LOVE A RAKE (THE BROTHERS OF THE ARISTOCRACY) BY LINDA RAE SANDE

SYNOPSIS

Everyone has plans … until something—or someone—comes along to change them. 

At the age of thirty-five, Randall Roderick, Marquess of Reading, decides it's time to trade in his life as the ‘Rake of Reading' for the life of a married man. Trouble is, his reputation precedes him, and he's not particularly attracted to the milk water misses who make up the eligible ladies of the ton.

His counterpart, Charles Goodwin, Earl of Wakefield, is only twenty-five and enjoys his life as a rake far too much to consider marriage. A visiting prostitute may change his mind on the matter, though, if only because he wants to do the right thing.

When the Earl of Norwick's skittish cousin, Constance, meets Randall in the park, she's intrigued by the gentleman she thinks is merely a well-to-do cit with a fascination for horse racing, but she's only in London to find out what's become of her inheritance. She's determined to return to her home and horses in Sussex to live the life of an independent woman.

Her counterpart, Eleanor Merriweather, is in London for her come-out with a dream to marry her perfect knight, but having been duped by a brothel's madame upon her arrival, she suddenly finds herself completely and thoroughly ruined.

When the lives of these four are suddenly upended by their chance meetings, the events of two nights and two days will prove that it takes a bit of horse sense to get on the right track in “The Love of a Rake”.

REVIEW:  THE LOVE A RAKE (THE BROTHERS OF THE ARISTOCRACY) BY LINDA RAE SANDE

The Love of a Rake by Linda Rae Sande

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The Love of a Rake by Linda Rae Sande

Reviewed for Candid Book Reviews 

What I like about Ms. Sande is that she has a style that is unlike anyone else. Her stories are full of sensual delights but also have characters with intriguing stories to tell. The Love of a Rake is an intertwining story. Randall, Charles, Constance and Eleanor each have a story to tell but are connected in the quest for love and a chance at happiness. Randall has reached a point in his life where he knows he has to make a change and get responsible. Constance is a force all her own. She is independent with a quick mind and a love of animals. Eleanor is the opposite of Constance. She's an innocent dreamer that finds herself in a sticky situation. Her life is changed forever after trusting the wrong people. Is her happy ending lost forever? I received a copy of The Love of a Rake by Linda Rae Sande in exchange for an honest review. The character that touched my heart the most was Eleanor. She made some questionable choices but her pureness of heart stayed intact regardless of the heartache and despair thrown in her path.

Like many novelists, especially romance writers, my infatuation with a good love story began early. I don’t remember exactly how old I was, but I’ll admit that Barbie and Ken acted more than a couple of the story lines I had in my head (sorry, Mom, but, no, not all of them were kid-appropriate). The obsession continued to grow as I got older and, whenever I left home, I always had a wire-bound notebook and a blue ballpoint pen in hand. In fact, every August, I still get that goofy, schoolgirl itch to buy up oodles of pens and paper, because, while I love my laptop, nothing compares to writing long-hand. If the house is quiet and there’s a thunderstorm rumbling outside, even better.

Not that I have the slightest a clue what a quiet house is anymore. Having three rambunctious (but awesome) kids, a zippy dog and a pesky cat has completely blurred my memory of peace and quiet. Oh, and I have a husband too–I call him the FisherGuy–and he’s probably louder and crazier than all the rest. I think I’ll keep him though. After all, he keeps me in fresh fish year-round (yum!) and he’s good hero material. Did I mention he’s also a firefighter?

We live in Northern Wisconsin and, let me tell ya, living here has provided lots of small-town fodder for this writer’s overactive imagination. Of course, I know no one who’s lived anything close to the steamy experiences I write about (not that I’d tell ya if I did *wink*). There’s something inherently sexy about not knowing what goes on behind closed doors…or even better, letting my imagination run free, concocting all kinds of stories and scenarios and putting them down on paper. Or my laptop.

2014 is going to be a big year for me, as I debut my first novel early in the spring and the majority of the remaining series as the year goes on. I’ll also be releasing at least one, hopefully two, books in a second series. Both are set in small towns and both will feature smart, spunky heroines and sexy, smokin’ hot heroes. Oh, and romance…sometimes sweet and sometimes sizzling.

NEW RELEASE: DARK SEXY KNIGHT (MODERN FAIRYTALE) BY KATY REGNERY.

READ AND REVIEW

DARK SEXY KNIGHT (MODERN FAIRYTALE) BY KATY REGNERY

Release Date:  June 5, 2016

SYNOPSIS

From New York Times bestseller Katy Regnery comes another timeless tale of love everlasting!
Loosely inspired by the legend of Camelot, Dark Sexy Knight tells the story of dinner theater knight Colt Lane, who meets down-on-her-luck Verity Gwynn on the worst day of her life. Evicted from their home, Verity and her special-needs brother, Ryan, must find jobs or risk being separated. Colt, who is the furthest-possible thing from a white knight in real life, comes to their unlikely rescue, quickly cementing his place in Verity’s heart.

Colt has dark, deeply buried secrets that keep his smile hidden and his eyes down, which has kept people away . . . until he meets Verity, who seems immune to his gruff manners and taciturn ways. The more time Colt spends with her, the more he longs for her sweetness in his life and yearns to be the knight in shining armor she so desperately needs. Certain he will lose her if she learns the truth about his past, he must decide if he can trust her with his yesterday in order to build a beautiful tomorrow.

REVIEW:  DARK SEXY KNIGHT (MODERN FAIRYTALE) BY KATY REGNERY

Dark Sexy Knight by Katy Regnery

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Upon first look I was not impressed. Colt's sarcasm was off putting and aggravating. Verity was too naive and trusting. That did not bode well in my opinion. However, as I started to delve deeper I started to get what the author was doing. Ms. Regnery was building up to the meat of the story and boy was it hearty. Verity's doe eyed innocence started to grow on me when it became obvious how devoted she was to her brother's well-being. Often at the expense of her own. Colt was an array of contradictions. It was hard to predict his actions from one moment to the next. What it boiled down to is that he was a lost soul with a good heart and hid it all behind an acidic personality. The seriousness of the story was balanced out by the absurdity of the references to Camelot (dinner theater). Had I known how it all would end, I would have never doubted the direction of the story. Beauty can come from darkness. Not your average love story but it awed me and humbled me in so many ways.

READ AND REVIEW

ONE LUCKY HERO (MEN IN UNIFORM) BY CODI GARY

Release Date:  June 7, 2016

SYNOPSIS

She was looking for a little fun…

Violet Douglas wants one night where she can be normal. Where she can do something for herself and not be just her sibling’s guardian. So when she spies a tall, dark and sexy stranger, she’s ready to let her wild side roar. The last thing she expects is to see her one night stand one week later, when she drags her delinquent kid brother to the Alpha Dog Training Program.

He wasn’t looking for a commitment…

Sgt. Dean Sparks is used to keeping women at a distance, and yet he can’t resist Violet’s snapping wit or smile. So when he suggests a friends-with-benefits arrangement, it seems like the perfect solution to their undeniable attraction. No emotional entanglement, just mind-blowing sex.

But with their lives becoming more and more entwined, Dean realizes that casual isn't enough for him anymore. And as Violet finds herself leaning on Dean in a way she never has, will her fears put more distance between them? Or can she let go of the past, and take a chance on happily ever after?

REVIEW:  ONE LUCKY HERO (MEN IN UNIFORM) BY CODI GARY

One Lucky Hero by Codi Gary

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


ARC Review: One Lucky Hero (Men in Uniform) by Codi Gary

Codi Gary is not one to shy away from hot button issues. That point is made abundantly clear throughout One Lucky Hero. From a young age life was not easy for Violet. A drug addict father, dealing with her mother's suicide and taking over the rearing of siblings was alot of responsibility for someone who missed out on the innocence of childhood. One night of escape, could end up being her saving grace or her biggest mistake. This is not the fluffy, stars in your eyes, Prince Charming romance. One Lucky Hero is a story of hard knocks, heartbreaking reveals and gritty dialogue. The truths are excruciating to say the least. The enduring legacy of One Lucky Hero is that a make-believe scenario, can end up helping someone facing similar situations in the real world. With this story Ms. Gary is making a difference and there is no greater reward than that .

TASTY COVER REVEAL: WAKING EDEN BY RHENNA MORGAN

Tasty Book Tours is excited to share the very sexy cover for the upcoming Eden Series romance by Rhenna Morgan....

WAKING EDEN!

WAKING EDEN

Eden Series #3

Rhenna Morgan

Releasing July 26th, 2016

The only hope of saving their race is to surrender their hearts.

With a long foretold and annoyingly vague prophecy warning of immense change for Eden, Ramsay Shantos is forced to hunt words and legends instead of rebels. For a man of action, it’s the worst kind of agony. Until he encounters a sexy librarian who bears the fated prophecy’s mark. A mark no human should possess.

Tortured by her mixed heritage, Trinity Blair has enjoyed little human touch in her life, let alone intimacy. Even the most innocent contact fills her mind with a person’s deepest, darkest secrets—except for Ramsay. Her immunity to his thoughts sparks a fragile hope that she might finally experience the passion of her Dark Spiritu brethren…unless he’s the dangerous crossroads her father predicted.

When knowledge of Eden goes viral in the human realm, Trinity is Ramsay’s only hope for quelling mass panic. Can he risk revealing the secrets of his race to the guileless ray of sunshine? Or is she the unknown source of Eden’s destruction?

Rhenna Morgan writes for the same reason she reads—to escape reality.

Yes, her life rocks—two beautiful little girls, a great husband, a steady job, and the kind of friends that would take you out back if you hurt her. But, like most women, she’s got obligations stacked tight from dusk to dawn. So, when the world gets her down, she slips into something…less realistic.

Romance is a must. So is a steamy romp (or four). Nothing thrills her more than the fantasy of new, exciting worlds, strong, intuitive men, and the sigh of, “Oh if only that could happen to me.”

So, if you’re picking up one of her books, expect portals into alternate realms and men who’ll fight to keep the women they want. Romantic escape for the women who need it.

STACKED UP

Worth the Fight #6

Sidney Halston

Releasing May 31st, 2016

Loveswept

Opposites attract in this seductive novel from the author of Against the Cage (“Funny, steamy, scorching.”—Toni Aleo), with a chiseled MMA fighter falling for a single mom who could use a real man in her corner.

Working two jobs to support her infant daughter is harder than anything Penny Richards has ever done, but it sure beats living under the rules of her stepfather, a television preacher who demands a picture-perfect family. And if Penny hadn’t struck out on her own, she never would have met Travis Calhoun. The intensely physical heavyweight brawler has a way of drawing out her wild side. But Travis lives fast, with no responsibilities—and that just isn’t for Penny.

Most of the women in Travis’s circle wear tight clothes, high heels, and tons of makeup—not pearls or plaid headbands. But once he works past Penny’s inhibitions, Travis discovers a kindred spirit who longs to trust someone with her body, and her secrets. Still, Travis can’t help but wonder if this rich girl is just slumming it before she returns to her privileged life. Now it’s up to Penny to prove that she wants her hard-edged, hard-loving fighter just the way he is.

REVIEW:  STACKED UP (WORTH THE FIGHT) BY SIDNEY HALSTON

Stacked Up by Sidney Halston

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


ARC Review: Stacked Up (Worth The Fight) by Sidney Halston

Travis was eye-popping, mouthwatering, pantie dropping delicious. The way he looked out for Penny and her daughter was fantasy material for sure. What made it even better was that he had no clue how awesome he was. Trademark Sidney Halston. Ms. Halston can get down and dirty with the best of them when it comes to her writing skills. I always knew there was more to Penny. She had a strength that was born of necessity. Her dreams seemed a long way off and life had not been kind but she loved hard and was willing to humble herself over and over in order to provide for her daughter. Knew Stacked Up was going to be good but it exceeded my expectations. It was marvelous: 5+++ review.

EXCERPT

“Yes I know. You’re perfectly capable of taking a bus and working at a strip club. Pearls and whatever-the-fuck-thing you have on your hair, and all. And, you’re absolutely perfectly capable of kissing me so hard and so damn sweet that I can’t fuckin’ stop thinking about it. It was like you poured molasses in my mouth and I can’t stop imagining how the rest of you tastes. But that’s not the point, right? The point is that I want to drive you home, so let me, okay?”

Her face warmed and her skin erupted in goose bumps. The man certainly had a way with words. Words that deserved a slap across the face, not a thumping heart or shaky knees.

“Well, it is late.” She conceded. “And it is better than taking the bus.”

“I’m glad the thought of me driving you home is just a few steps above a shitty public bus.” He said, laughing and she couldn’t help but laugh too.

USA Today bestselling author, Sidney Halston lives her life with one simple rule: "Just Do It"--Nike. And that's exactly what she did.

After working hard as an attorney, Sidney picked up a pen for the first time at thirty years old to begin her dream of writing. Having never written anything other than very exciting legal briefs, she found an outlet for her imaginative, romantic side and wrote Seeing Red. That first pen stroke sealed the deal, and she fell in love with writing. Sidney lives in South Florida with her husband and children. She loves her family above all else, and reading follows a close second. When she's not writing, you can find her reading and reading and reading. She's a reader first and a writer second. When she's not writing or reading, her life is complete and utter chaos, trying to balance family life with work and writing (and reading). But she wouldn't have it any other way.
