See Me After Class is just what this stressful time has called for! Meghan Quinn is always quick to give her readers some lightness, a bit of fun in her romance world. She totally succeeds here, Arlo and Greer are so wrapped up in disliking each other that they don't even realize how attracted they are to each other. I really liked that this was a slower burn than most of Quinn's stories. Greer is a bit more aware if what is happening with her and Arlo. Arlo is hilariously oblivious... ok, not really, but he wants to be oblivious! He doesn't stand a chance with his best friends and even his sister all ganging up on him and 'poking the bear.' They were so amazing! I could not get enough of the secondary characters but especially Stella, Keeks, and Coraline (Arlo's sister). Arlo's best friends were also insanely fun! Romeo and Gunner help the ladies gang up and mess with the stiff-lipped Arlo.

Now, Arlo is uptight. He comes off cold and aloof. What he really is though, is a total alpha male! He's one of those men that needs to pound on his chest and pee a circle around his woman. You just won't be able ro resist him. Greer was created to drive Arlo insane... with disdain and lust! Greer is strongly opinionated,  she's a teacher that teaches her own way. It's unconventional and, again, is driving Arlo up the wall (shocking, I know). She challenges Arlo though. His rude and cold personality doesn't scare her away. Oh no! In fact, it seems to make her more interested in challenging Arlo. Greer seems to always have a smile on her face. She's incredibly happy and really,  she's just kind of bubbly!

Quinn could not have created two characters anymore fun and quirky toward each other. It was definitely a push/pull type of story that took a while to heat up to combustion... they were nuclear! Quinn is just unstoppable in giving us truly unique characters with a fun and one-of-a-kind storyline. I'm so excited for other books in this series. I mean, when Keeks story hits my reader, I'm just done with work, with, family.  It'll be me, Keeks, and Quinn against the world!


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.

BLURB:

"Did you have relations with my brother . . ."

Good question.

I’d like to preface this by saying it was never my intention to ever get involved in a workplace romance, let alone get involved with the most surly, agitating, and pompous man I’ve ever met who just so happens to be my new friend’s brother.

My intentions were to show students how English and reading books could actually be fun and make a new life for myself in the suburbs of Chicago.

But so far, I’ve managed to be called into the principal’s office.

Coerced into participating in the teacher's badminton league.

And instigated into passionate fights with Arlo Turner over education and decorum while losing my underwear at the same time.

Known as Mr. Turns Me On, he’s the reason I might get fired from my first ever teaching job.

PROLOGUE:

**GREER**

“Before we get started, I’ve been told I need to ask you a question.” Stella sits cross-legged in front of me, a nervous look on her face, water in hand.

“Oh?” I ask, trying to act casual as I bring my glass of red wine to my lips. I have a scary inkling what this might be about.

She glances over at Coraline and winces. “Uh, I feel weird asking.”

Oh God . . . I was right.

Shifting, I say, “You know, we don’t have to—”

“Then why bring it up if you’re not going to propose your query?” Keiko asks impatiently while pushing her green-rimmed glasses up on her nose. “You know the frequency of these meetings is dependent upon staying within the comprehensive itinerary I composed during my lunchbreak.”

“Cool your bloomers, Keeks,” Coraline says while taking a large sip from her wine glass. “I want to know what’s making Stella so fidgety.”

The four founding members of the Ladies in Heat Book Club—aka my mismatched collection of friends—each bring diverse and unique character traits to our group.

Keiko “Keeks” Seymour—resident AP chemistry teacher at Forest Heights High School. Her social etiquette is lacking, her intelligence is off the charts, and she’d rather play with beakers than penises. She wasn’t thrilled about the book club name and made a noble attempt to explain why her suggestion, the Austen Empowerment Collaborative, was far more credible. Majority ruled, she lost.

Stella Garcia—Spanish teacher at Forest Heights and my co-coach. Currently single, makes the best tamales I’ve ever had, and is one stamp away from getting a free donut at Frankie Donuts. Can be shy at times, but when it comes to her family and friends, she doesn’t take shit from anyone. Loyal to the core, one of the reasons I adore her.

Coraline “Cora” Turner—recent divorcée and living with her brother, Arlo. Jobless at the moment and couldn’t care less about it since both she and Arlo have enough inheritance to last them a lifetime. Often annoyed by her older brother or annoying him, doesn’t partake in Twitter—says it’s a filthy pool of opinions, and is the first to offer up a bottle of wine.

Then there’s me . . .

Greer Gibson—twenty-four-year-old fresh to the teaching scene as Forest Heights’s new English teacher and women’s volleyball coach. I love running, have a penchant for a man in a cardigan, and can get a little noisy in the classroom while teaching. I currently share a classroom wall with Arlo Turner, Forest Heights most prestigious English teacher, and might have lost my underwear—

“Out with it, Stella,” Cora says, snapping at her.

“Please, so we can proceed,” Keeks says, straightening her notepad on her lap.

Stella looks me in the eyes and says, “Brock wants to know if there’s anything going on between you and Turner. Apparently, Turner won’t say a thing, but Brock thinks there’s some strong sexual tension building.”

Cora whips her head to me, her eyes wide. “Are you getting it on with my brother?”

Finger pointed in the air, Keeks leans in and says, “The proper term amongst company would be coitus.”
Rolling her eyes, Cora asks, “Did you have coitus with my brother?”

“You could also say intercourse if that amuses your jargon more,” Keeks adds. “Or copulating would be sufficient. But if you are inclined toward romantic terminology, since we are in the presence of the book club, you could say lovemaking or performing intimate acts. Although, given the circumstances of when coitus took place—in the work environment—I would deduce that your actions were performed carnally rather than with the interest of developing a devoted accord.”

“Good God, Keeks,” Cora says, irritated. “Who cares what it’s called? We just want to know if it happened.” Cora looks me in the eyes. “Did it?”

Did it . . .

Good question.

I’d like to preface this by saying it was never my intention to ever get involved in a workplace romance when I was hired at Forest Heights, let alone get involved with the most surly, agitating, and pompous man I’ve ever met.

My intentions were to show students how English and reading books could actually be fun, bring the volleyball team to a state championship, and make a new life for myself in the suburbs of Chicago.

But so far, I’ve managed to be called into the principal’s office.

Infiltrate the teachers’ athletic league.

And had passionate fights with Arlo Turner over education, decorum, and student-teacher friendships.
Not to mention I’ve lost my panties to him in my dreams more than I care to admit.

Why did this all happen?

Simple.

The man dresses in a cardigan, that’s how.

Arlo Turner. The bane of my existence, annoyance to my sanity, and the only man who’s ever made me want to spread my legs in a classroom.

He’s torn down my metaphorical walls, strapped on a cottony cardigan—pushed up the sleeves—and has driven me to the brink of insanity, so now whenever I hear the mention of his name, my legs automatically spread, and my heartrate picks up.

Known as Mr. Turns Me On, he’s the reason my star athlete is struggling to keep her grades up.

He’s the reason I tend to avoid the teacher breakroom.

And he’s the reason I might get fired from my first ever teaching job.

BLOG TOUR: Noble Prince by Devney Perry

Noble Prince by Devney Perry is now live!

The night Luke Rosen met Scarlett Marks was the only time he's regretted becoming chief of police. One horrific night of blood and death, and now she's living under his roof--all because he swore an oath to serve and protect.


Scarlett is stubborn and infuriating. She has no respect for the order in his structured life, and she never does anything she's told. Worse, she doesn't seem to care that the information she has on a motorcycle gang means she might end up dead. But her unwavering strength, her courage and tenacity and beauty, makes it impossible for him to abandon her.


If Luke is going to keep her safe, he'll have to make the hardest decision of his life. He can either honor his values as a cop, knowing Scarlett is unlikely to survive . . . or he can break all the rules and protect the woman who's invaded his home and his heart.

Oh man Luke... Luke, Luke, Luke... you poor conflicted, lovely man. Devney Perry has outdone herself here. Upon building Chief Luke, she built a man of such high caliber, such integrity, such heart and hope, that I am nearly positive that she couldn't think up another better man. He's the best. The top cop. All that and a bag of chips. The best thing since sliced bread... yup, you heard it here... Perry's done broke the mold on book boyfriends!  Luke has to be amazing, he has quite the woman to stand beside. Scarlett isn't as 'in-your-face' amazing like Luke. Luke refers to Scarlett as "quietly determined" and I feel like there isn't a better way to describe her. She's rock solid. She isn't fearless and I think that makes her so real-feeling. She might not be fearless but she doesn't give up, she has a determination that's is quite admirable.

This group of characters is my absolute favorite people! I love catching up with the main characters from the earlier books and getting to know the ones we have yet to learn about. Perry sets up Fallen Jester so amazingly that I am eagerly awaiting the day I get to read it. The Tin Gypsy series has been such an obsessive read from every single installment to the next. The writing from Perry is purely compulsive. I couldn't stop reading if I wanted to... I didn't want to BTW. I feel like every novel in this series has brought this feeling of culmination... like I'm going to reach this great, big climactic end and every ending of every book brings us closer to seeing a larger picture. I'm obsessed. That's all there is to it. I can't help but find myself fully immersed in this group of friends turned family.  I really never want this series to end and at the same time... GIVE ME ALL THEIR STORIES! I'M READY. I'M INSANELY EAGER. But, just don't end it!

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

“If you’re not going to get out of the way, I’ll just go around.” I spun on my shoes, whirling the opposite direction, but when I went to take a step and carry my basket away, I suddenly found its weight missing from my arm. He’d stolen it from me before I’d had the chance to clutch it tight.

Then the world was spinning. The floors, the ceiling, everything flipped topsy-turvy.

I’d fainted.

No, that wasn’t right.

I was being carried. Hauled. That had been Luke’s threat and damn it, I’d underestimated him. The chief had made good on his word.

His shoulder dug into my belly as he walked. I lifted my face, pushing the hair out of my eyes. My basket of food sat exactly where I’d been standing. My chicken and rolls and cookies and chocolate milk. The items grew smaller with every one of Luke’s strides.

“Put me down.”

He kept walking.

“Put me down!” I shouted.

Still, he kept walking.

I lifted a hand and raised it above my head. My hair kept falling in front of my face, obscuring my vision, but that didn’t stop me from using every ounce of strength I had left. I brought my fist down on Luke’s lower back. Except my aim was shit so I didn’t hit his back. No, my fist bounced off his firm, perfect ass.

Luke didn’t so much as break his stride. “I promised Presley I’d keep you safe.”

And without another word, without stopping, he carried me in a fireman’s hold out of the grocery store and into the snow.

I was going back to the daisies, whether I wanted to or not.

Hello, Scarlett. I’m rock bottom.

EXCERPT REVEAL: Come What May by LK Farlow

 

COME WHAT MAY by LK Farlow 

Release Date: November 19th   
  Add to Goodreads: https://bit.ly/CWMLKF  



      

Blurb: 

Death…it’s the only guarantee in this rollercoaster ride called life. My dad always used to say “It’s what you do while you’re alive that matters.” But he’s gone now, and me…I’m spiraling out of control and on the verge of losing everything my dad worked so hard for. 

Until Mateo Reyes makes me an offer I can’t refuse: he wants to purchase my dad’s shop. The payday would be monumental, but can I really sell all I have left of my dad? 

Eventually, I give in. With a single caveat—he hires me to run it. 

The tatted-up mechanic turns out to be as strict as he is handsome. 

When I agreed to help my late friend’s daughter, I had no idea the kind of trouble I was inviting into my life. Seraphine’s young, reckless, impulsive, and drowning in her grief. The absolute last person I should allow around my teenaged daughter. 

I’ve made it my personal mission to show her life does in fact go on after loss. After the death of my wife—I’d know. 

Before I know it, I find myself thinking about things I have no business thinking of—like if her skin’s as soft as it looks and how her lips taste. 

Turns out, she’s every bit as interested as I am, and while she might be my damnation, I’m willing to fight for her, come what may.     



EXCERPT

“We’re painting a Barbie Jeep?” I nod. “Oh, my God. This is amazing.”

“You’re happy?”

“So, so very. What color?”

“It’s for Willow.”

“Pink, then.”

Sí.

Seraphine bounces on the balls of her feet. “I’m excited, but I gotta be honest, I’ve never sprayed before.”

“Do not worry, mariposita, I will teach you.” I pop the first button on my shirt. “I just need to change first.”

“Do you want me to turn around?”

I shrug, and continue unbuttoning my shirt. Her pupils dilate as I shrug out of the fabric. “Do you like what you see?” I ask, knowing damn well she does.

“You’re…beautiful.” She slaps a hand over her mouth. “I mean handsome. Sexy. So good looking it hurts.”

Stepping into her, I pull her hand away from her face and place it on my bare chest, directly over my heart. “A man can be beautiful too. And the fact that you think I am—that you like how I look—it means something to me.”

I drop my voice an octave, and drag her hand down the hard line of my abs, so it rests at the waist of my jeans. “It does something to me.”

She sucks in a shuddery breath and dips the tip of her pinky beneath the material of my jeans. I laugh lightly and step back. “Now turn around.”

“Spoilsport,” she grumbles, but with a smile on her face.

“It’s for me more than you,” I tell her as I step out of my jeans.

“What does that even mean?”

I pull on the coveralls and step up behind her, burying my face in the crook of her neck. “I mean, seeing you react to me, to my body, makes it hard for me to resist you.”

“Maybe I don’t want you to resist me.”

RELEASE DAY: Lost Boy by Ker Dukey

Title: Lost Boy
Author: Ker Dukey
Genre: Psychological Romance Suspense
Release Date: October 30, 2020
Cover Design: Qdesigns - Amy Queau
Cover Model: Franggy Yanez


When Willis Langford, the infamous serial killer, dubbed The Hollywell slayer, enters Lizzy West’s life, he leaves blood and pain in his wake. Kidnapping his son, her best friend Jack, and killing those who try to stop him. 

After witnessing unimaginable evil, the echoes of that day haunt Lizzy into adulthood.

Fifteen-year on, Willis is still at large. When new murders begin to happen with the signatures of the infamous Hollywell slayer, Lizzy’s life turns upside down.

With death stalking her, Lizzy isn’t prepared for a ruggedly handsome mystery man to enter her world, shaking up her already turbulent life. Their connection is palpable, the intensity mind-blowing, the familiarity terrifying. 

Lizzy’s world is about to turn on its axis. She will need to question everything she thought she knew. 

Life becomes a game of survival.
But who is the hunter and who is the prey?






I went into Lost Boy completely blind. Besides knowing it was written by the talented Ker Dukey. I was not disappointed! Ker Dukey probably wrote my favorite book of the month with Lost Boy! The story was plan crazy! I loved the darkness, the mystery. I was pleasantly surprised by the romance level as well. The characters are so well developed. Lizzie, of course, is seen as the main character that is still struggling with a traumatized past. However, I’ll toss out that Charlotte and Steven were the best! It's always nice to have some comedic relief and Charlotte was it for me!!

Lost Boy is one of those stories where I found myself picking through debris to figure out what was what. Dukey's writing is at her best here. Lost Boy is written in a way that will make readers try to dissect it. I found myself constantly rearranging the clues, or what I thought were clues, to get various outcomes and try and solve the case. I was never able to place the clues in the correct order and get a clear picture... I'm not surprised though.


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.
