RELEASE DAY: Rifts and Refrains by Devney Perry

Rifts and Refrains by Devney Perry is now live! 

From the moment Quinn Montgomery sat behind her first snare and cymbal set, she was destined for fame and glory. As Hush Note's infamous female drummer, she sets the rhythm for the band's chart-toppings hits. When people tap their feet to their music, it's to her pulse.


Quinn is content to live in a world away from her family and the cage of her youth. Her only regret is leaving Graham Hayes behind without a goodbye. No matter how many sold-out stadiums she plays, no matter how many crowds sing her songs, his voice haunts her when the music stops.


When a family tragedy forces her to return home to Montana, she plans to leave the second she's paid her respects. But seeing Graham again turns her life upside down. As a boy, he wasn't able to make her stay. As a man, he might be her future.


If they can mend their rifts and find solace in the refrains.

I knew going in that Rifts & Refrains was the second book in a related trilogy. The trio of books cover the three bandmates. I did not read Lies & Lullabies before reading this book. I obviously have read some of the things that happened in the first book, not a lot though honestly, but now I want to read both the first and third book more than anything after getting some brief snippets. But, just an FYI I didn't feel like I missed anything starting at the second book (besides Jonas' story obviously). Quinn's story was fully covered in between these covers.

I didn't quite expect Rifts & Refrains to be so emotional... I should have. This is Devney Perry writing the story after all. Since it is a Devney Perry novel, I didn't read the synopsis, I just knew I'd read the story because of how I adore the author's writing. I was crying by the end of Chapter 8. No joke. Griffin and Quinn have a story that is irresistible. They have a direct and intense pull toward each other, no matter how hard they try and resist.

However, this small town, second chance rockstar romance really had something that others don't have... a family rift that stretches nearly a decade. An argument that hinges on family values and accepting each other as we are. Sometimes silence is way louder than words and hurts more. Devney Perry may have missed her calling in the rockstar romance category... she created such an intense story ripe with emotion and bleeding with heartache. Perry also brought this drummer to life... giving her a chip on her shoulder, an attitude as big as Texas and a heart as gold as her sticks. Loved every word that brought a tear, a smile, or a swoon. Perry rocked this story! I wouldn't mind more rockstars from her!


I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

RELEASE DAY: Follow My Darkly by Helen Hardt

FOLLOW ME DARKLY

By Helen Hardt

Release Date: September 29

I’ve always been a control freak. 
But he makes me crave submission…


Working for a hotel heiress and social media influencer may not be my dream job, but at least it allows me time to do what I really love—take photographs. Pretty good for a wholesome farm girl from Kansas trying to make it in Boston. Life may not be easy working for a diva, but at least I know what to expect.

Until blue-collar billionaire Braden Black strides into the office. He’s beyond handsome and sexy, but also domineering with a definite hard edge. I’m not sure why he’s interested in me, but within a few weeks, he’s showing me a world I never knew existed.

He’s opened up a side of me I can only face in the dark, and it’s quickly becoming an obsession. How can I give up something this addictive—even if his secrets could ultimately destroy me?

DOUBLE COVER REVEAL: Only One Night & Only One Touch by Natasha Madison

ONLY ONE NIGHT 

& 

ONLY ONE TOUCH

by Natasha Madison


ONLY ONE NIGHT 
Release Date: January 5

 

Manning
As captain of the Dallas Oilers, I was their leader on and off the ice. From the outside, it looked like I had the perfect life.

I didn’t.

I was married to a woman who refused to give me a divorce. All she wanted was the status title, and all I wanted was to be set free.

It was supposed to be just another event, except it took a turn I didn’t see coming.

Evelyn
Attending my best friend’s bachelorette party isn’t something I was looking forward to. 

But it’s strange what a couple of glasses of wine will do.

It was one night, and I thought I would never see him again.

Especially not coming face-to-face with him and his wife while picking up my nephew from hockey practice.

All it takes is one kiss, one touch, one chance, and only one night.

ONLY ONE TOUCH 

Release date February 9

Nico

When I inherited the Dallas Oilers from my father , I became one of the youngest owners in hockey history. Even though the team was at the bottom of the hockey standings,

I had big plans to change that and bring the Cup to Dallas.

Falling in love was something I never believed would happen to me.

You’d think I was getting everything I ever wanted with the girl and the winning record, but I still have a promise to fulfill to my childhood best friend.


Becca

Never let them see you sweat has been my life motto since I decided to make a name for myself as the most-sought-after sport agent.

I know what it takes to close a deal, and only want one thing—to be the best.

Until I felt his touch one night, and everything I thought I knew was forgotten. Nico is everything I've never let myself want.

But all my cards came crashing down the minute I read the headlines.

It takes only one touch to change everything!

When her nose isn't buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she's in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. 

You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. 

It's a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn't listen to her...

PREORDER: Pride & Papercuts by Staci Hart

It's finally happening! 
Staci Hart is heading back to her Austen series and bringing us 
Pride & Papercuts, 
a modern love story inspired by Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice!

Amazon | AppleBooks | Kobo | B&N | Goodreads

Hate is a strong word.

Depending on the company, loathe is a good substitute. Abhor might be a little fancy, but it gets the job done. But the word that really sums up how I feel about Liam Darcy is, without question, hate.

He doesn’t seem to think much of me either. The second he lays his fault-seeking eyes on me, he sets out to oppose me. Everything about him is imposing, as if he consumes the nearby air to power the rise and fall of his broad chest, and it’s clear he resents my presence on his advertising team. Every idea I have is shot down. Every olive branch I offer is set on fire by nothing more than the blistering coals he calls eyes.

In return, I light him up with my words.

It’s not as if he can dismiss me, since I work for his client, Wasted Words. Instead, he’s forced to tolerate me, which seems the closest we’ll ever be to friends. Fine by me.

I can be civil and still hate Liam Darcy.

But if there’s more to him than his exterior shows, I won’t be able to hate him at all. I might stumble over that line between love and hate and fall right into his arms.

Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life -- a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can't forget that. She's also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She's been a wife, though she's certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She's also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she's been drinking whiskey. When she's not writing, she's reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.

REVIEW: Falling into You by A.L. Jackson

Falling into You
A Falling Stars stand-alone romance from A.L. Jackson
Available Now on Amazon and Free with Kindle Unlimited

 “This moves to my #1 standalone this year, and definitely goes on my favorite book list! A.L. Jackson’s writing is so gripping and deep…I need you to run to this book & read it. You have no idea what you’re in for.” -Queen of the Pages


“Falling into You is another masterful heartwrenching story by AL Jackson. When I finished it I wished I could re-read it. Richard and Violets' redemptive journey of love is perfection.”  -Claudia Burgoa, USA Today Bestselling Author

Synopsis

Richard Ramsey is the guitarist for the world’s hottest new band.

Gifted. Charismatic. Hot as sin.
Lend your ear, and he’ll steal your heart.
Nah, you can’t have his considering he left it in his hometown years ago.


He knows better than going back. But it’s his younger sister’s wedding, and there’s no way he can say no to that.


He should have known she would be there, invading his senses and making him thirst and hunger for what he wants most.


Violet Marin hates him for what he’s done. He left her emptyhanded with their wreckage strewn all around. She’s picked up the pieces and is living her life the best way that she can.


But their connection is fierce.

Their attraction unending.

It only takes one glance for their worlds to collide.

One touch to set them on fire.


But she doesn’t know the dark secrets he keeps. If he had understood the true price of fame, he would have known he’d sold his soul and this debt is something he cannot repay.


Letting her go is impossible, but will loving her cost it all?


A sensuous, captivating contemporary stand-alone romance in the Falling Stars series from NYT & USA Today Bestselling Author, A.L. Jackson . . .



"This book is one of those stories that stays with you, one that you can't stop playing over in your mind, one that leaves you with the biggest book hangover and one that will be on your Top Reads List just as it is on mine!”

-Melissa, Book Addict Fanatic

 

Can Richard redeem himself? He's messed up. He's lied. He's kept secrets... big secrets. Secrets that shame him. Secrets that condemn him. Secrets that could ruin his life. So perhaps the real question is, is redemption even possible for Richard Ramsey? Is he worth forgiveness? Lord you all, this book... THIS BOOK!!

Nobody pulls those tears from my heart like AL Jackson. Richard and Violet's story was irrefutable and preordained. I managed to make it to 67% before tears were sliding down my cheeks, effortlessly. Their love feels so vehement. I'm continually amazed by the harmony and beauty in Mrs. Jackson's words. She's able to write so eloquently. The beauty in her words cut straight through my heart and causes an ache. Richard and Violet haven't had an easy story. Their song is fraught with heartache and secrets. Yet, love always remains. In fact, it's so strong that it's blinding in its ferocity. Jackson brings love to all her novels. Even ones full of ugliness, and Falling Into Me is hiding so much ugliness in the pages, that the story offers an addictive feel and the emotions seriously played with my heart!


I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

RELEASE DAY: Love at First Fight by Carrie Aarons

Love at First Fight by Carrie Aarons



BLURB

This summer was supposed to be spent lounging on the beach, madly in love with my boyfriend.


Until he decided to move to Singapore, and break up with me an hour before his plane left.


Now I’m stuck in a Hamptons house share with six of his closest pals, including his best friend … who despises me.

Since the moment Smith Redfield laid eyes on me, he’s hated my guts. I’m serious, I think the raven-haired restaurateur gets physically sick just being in my presence. And he’s never been shy about hiding that fact.


There was the time he cackled when I landed face first in a pile of Manhattan trash bags. Or the night I tried to throw my ex-boyfriend a surprise party, and Smith had strippers crash the bash. Or maybe it was New Year's Eve, when he got in my face and called me a sheltered goody two-shoes who wouldn’t know passion if it smacked me in the lips.


He’s rooming right next door for the summer months, and I don’t think more animosity could exist than in the hallway of our vacation rental. As if I wasn’t already sporting a bruised ego and broken heart from the way his best friend left me.


But the more midnight run-ins we have, the more I can’t help but think about the way his mouth would feel against mine. With each heavy-eyed glance over the dinner table, I’m starting to wonder if the damaged alpha male doesn’t harbor more than just loathing towards me.


After all, they say hate is the closest emotion to love.

And with the way we’re skating that thin line, it’s bound to burn this whole house down.



Read Love at First Fight now! mybook.to/LoveatFirstFight



Molly has had a serious crappy time as of late. Her bestie talks her into continuing on with a pre-planned summer vacation to the Hamptons that was supposed to include her very recent ex Justin. So of course, this vacation was planned with Justin and his friends... including Smith (who happens to be as sexy as sin and dislikes her just for breathing). So of course, hilarity and awkwardness ensue and these two enemies struggle not to be lovers!


In true Carrie Aarons form we get a fabulous underdog-type of story.  I love seeing the way Carrie's writing has developed over the years. She's an author that can write in any genre and excel! I'm honestly wishing for some romantic suspense or even some thrillers. I just know they'd be perfection. But for now, Love at First Fight seriously ticked off all my romance boxes... the light and fun mixed with the deep and heartbroken was amazing. Mostly, I loved how Molly really grew some self-confidence, how she started to see her worth. Plus, all that back-and-forth banter was amazing, and that heat was off-the-charts!!


I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.









AUTHOR INFORMATION:

Author of romance novels such as Red Card and Privileged, Carrie Aarons writes books that are just as swoon-worthy as they are sarcastic. A former journalist, she prefers the stories she dreams up, and the yoga pant dress code, much better.

When she isn't writing, Carrie is busy binging reality TV, having a love/hate relationship with cardio, and trying not to burn dinner. She lives in the suburbs of New Jersey with her husband, daughter and dog.
