RELEASE BLITZ: Violent Delights by Jessica Hawkins





Title: Violent Delights

Series: White Monarch #1
Author: Jessica Hawkins
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 19, 2019




Blurb


“She is mine.” 
Three words from two different men.
A life, future, and love I don’t get to choose.

In the de la Rosa family, old grudges run deeper than loyalty, and betrayal is a three-letter word: war. But this feud isn’t between enemies. It’s between brothers. And I’m the prize.

I was born a princess among criminals. An untouchable among thieves. Heiress to a life others have killed for, and one I'd do anything to escape. I vowed not to leave without Diego, my first love and best friend, but if his ruthless brother has his way, I won’t leave at all. Cristiano de la Rosa is a
man as big and bold as his legend. Once upon a time, he was our cartel’s best soldier . . . until he became my family’s worst enemy.

A man like Cristiano will bend fate to his will to get what he wants. Even if it means dragging me to hell—and tearing me from his brother's arms.

I’ve always enjoyed Jessica Hawkins books and Violent Delights is no different. This book has a bit of the same vibe/feel as Slip of the Tongue did a few years ago. While the storylines are not similar at all… perhaps it’s the writing that’s bringing me back to one of the first books I read by Jessica Hawkins. I really feel as though writing a review for this book is dangerous. It seems impossible to talk about the book without wanting to gush about the storyline but I’m going to do my best to talk about what this book did to my heart and my feelings.

Violent Delights is a nail bitter! I felt totally immersed in the world Jessica Hawkins created. And what a world this was! It was dangerous and pretty twisted. I really was delightfully shocked by the storyline. It really is quite a daring story line and I’m delighted that Miss Hawkins decided to tackle this series. I love the mafia ties and the possessive feelings the characters expressed. This is going to be one hard book to tie all together. It’s one that feels like an ol’ time story but with edge and heart.

Miss Hawkins is a creative genius! I felt truly transported into her story. It’s really a magically way to write. The characters are incredibly layered. You’ll either love them or hate AND love them so much. The brothers, Diego and Cristiano are built up and you’ll have no idea which way this story is going to turn out! I know that I am fully invested in this story and will be counting the days until I get the follow up story!

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 BLITZ: Right Where I Want You by Jessica Hawkins






Title: Right Where I Want You
Author: Jessica Hawkins
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: December 28, 2018




Blurb


There’s a thin line between love and hate . . . and it
cuts right through the middle of their office.

Bad boys? They run right over good girls like Georgina Keller.

But after a confidence-shattering breakup, she’s determined not to let anyone at her new workplace push her around—least of all the brooding creative director, a “bad
boy of publishing” who’s made it clear she’s enemy #1.

Sebastian Quinn's taste for fast cars, late nights, and beautiful women may have gotten him to the top of a leading New York magazine, but the reputation that made him is suddenly threatening to end his career.

Georgina can help Modern Man shed its bad reputation, but in order to do that, she’ll have to start at the top—and no amount of rakish charm or inconvenient attraction will distract her.

Because if Sebastian gets her right where he wants her, it means she’s going down.

I adored Sebastian right away. He was totally sweet and charismatic. Georgina is fantastic! I love the way she tackles life and just handles it all. She has this fierce streak of determination and goals to take back her life. She’s extremely admirable.  Right Where I Want You has you evaluating your life. It makes you think about the choice and decisions you’ve made… the mistakes. The wit and banter between the two main characters was fun to read. It really added something to this story that was way deeper than I expected! Both Sebastian and Georgina have this intense attraction that they are both fighting by throwing hate at the other while battling over office politics and problems.

Jessica Hawkins created an incredibly layered storyline that was seriously an amazing read! I love the obvious story in this story but there was this hidden storyline that sneaks up on you and grabs you by the heart! I related to Georgina more than I ever expected to. I think we all, especially women, struggle with being giving and caring without people taking advantage of us. I loved seeing these two build something together while working through those business and personal issues. Sometimes being with another people makes us stronger than being along… that’s what these two share in Right Where I Want You.

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.

Excerpt

At the stadium’s concession stand, I took a tall stool, putting Georgina and I at eye level since she stood. “So, why didn’t you kiss François?” I asked. “Bad breath?”
She gasped into her hand. “My breath is fine.”
“I meant his. I’m sure yours is pure relish on a hotdog.”
She made a face. “Gross.”
“I happen to love relish,” I said. “But does François?”
Each time I said François with flourish, she flinched. I didn’t care. Something about him bugged me—I just couldn’t put my finger on it.
“We didn’t kiss because you interrupted us,” she pointed out.
“So? If I were in his position, and we both wanted that kiss, I wouldn’t let anyone stop me.”
Frank and I are clicking,” she said, scowling. “There was even mention of spending time at his summerhouse.”
“Hamptons?”
She coughed into her fist. “Boca Raton.”
The idea of Georgina spending a summer with him in Boca Raton was tragic enough that I almost smiled. I got the sense she was playing up the date. If it was so great, why wasn’t she sitting here with him? And why was I more relieved than smug about that? “Meanwhile, Justin and I will be clamming in Montauk.”
“You two should really just make it official and announce your love to the world.”
“But then I wouldn’t get to flirt with pretty girls.”
“For someone who pretends to have as much game as you,” she said, “I still haven’t seen you successfully flirt with any
girls since I’ve known you.”
I smirked.
“How do you know I’m not flirting with you right now?”

The issue with bad boys? I’m not one—but I’m not about to put a stop to the rumors. My taste for fast cars, late nights, and beautiful women helped get me to the top of a leading New York magazine known for its tongue-in-cheek humor and over-the-top masculinity. But after an industry exposé maligns me as a womanizer, the reputation that made me is suddenly threatening to end my career. Damage control comes in the form of a pretty, pint-sized “fixer,” but from the moment I meet Georgina Keller, I can’t help thinking she’s eager to land the final blow—and maybe even my job.

The issue with bad boys? They run right over good girls like me. But after a confidence-shattering breakup, I’m determined not to let anyone at my new workplace push me around—not even the brooding Sebastian Quinn, who’s made it clear I’m the enemy. I’m ready to help Modern Man shed its bad reputation, but to do that, I’ll have to start at  the top. . . and no amount of rakish charm or inconvenient attraction is going to distract me.

Because it’s true what they say -
there’s a thin line between love and hate.
And it cuts right through the middle of our office.

RELEASE BLITZ: Somebody Else’s Sky by Jessica Hawkins







Title: Somebody Else's Sky

Series: Something in the Way #2
Author: Jessica Hawkins
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: May 22, 2017




Blurb


If I closed my eyes, I could still see them—all blonde sunshine, ocean-blue eyes, and long limbs. The glint of Lake’s gold bracelet. Pink cotton candy on Tiffany’s tongue. My scenery may have changed from heaven to hell, but some things never would: my struggle to do right by both sisters. To let Lake soar. To lift Tiffany up. The sacrifices I made for them, I made willingly.
A better man would’ve walked away by now, but I never claimed to be any good. I only promised myself I’d keep enough distance. If I’d learned one thing from my past, it was that love came in different forms. You could love passionately, hurt deep, die young. Or you could provide the kind of firm, steady support someone else could lean on.
Lake was everything I wanted, and nothing I could ever have. I was nobody before I knew her and a criminal after. The way to love her was to let her shine—even if it would be for somebody else.
Book two in the Something in the Way series, an epic, 3-book saga of forbidden love...

Jessica Hawkins has truly gutted me with this book, with this series. She has created this awe-inspiring fantasy world that has sucked me in for days where I can’t breathe anything or anyone but Manning, Lake, and Tiffany. Ugh, I seriously wish I could adequately tell you what this entire last book made of me. It wrecked me… completely. I didn’t want to read but I couldn’t stop… I couldn’t help myself. I can’t believe the talent Hawkins has given us with these people. It’s so heart-breakingly beautiful.

I have no idea how I am going to make it to October for the final conclusion. I feel shattered as it is and now I have to wait months… 5 months with my own broken heart… how cruel! This series had left me feeling gluttonous. I’m wanting more and more and impatient! This is a book that will give you so many feelings… I mean you’ll be left feeling mad, frustrated, anxious, sad (oh the sadness) and finally you will feel a state of disbelief or perhaps just plain shock!

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