Cover Time : 💕 Waiting for my Queen 💕

Hi, book buddies ☺ Cover Time is here, and look at that title! Or is it look at that face? 😄

🔥🔥 HOT COVER REVEAL 🔥🔥

Check out Georgia Cates’s hot cover! 

Waiting for my Queen is releasing on March 3rd!

  Luca— She was promised to me years ago. And he dared to take her from me. Dared to touch what was mine. I put an end to that. I hope he’s enjoying the view from his dirt room.

  Emilia— My beloved’s killer placed a ruby ring on my finger and called me his queen. But that red gem symbolizes something different for me. It represents the blood shed by those I love most. Hell was empty the day we wed. Because the devil was standing before me and said “I do.”

  Luca— I saw her as a possession. A shiny toy I didn’t want other boys to play with. But she’s so much more. Beautiful and brave and strong and broken all at once. She tastes like everything I’ve ever wanted.

  Emilia— Hidden and patient. I wait for the perfect time to seek my revenge. But slowly, I feel him possessing me. His heart is full of darkness… and I still want every inch of him. Hard as I try, I can’t escape loving this beautiful monster.

  Luca— I’m waiting patiently because I already know that she’s mine. Mine in a way that no one will ever understand. Even if she hasn’t yet realized it. For love, I’d do anything. For her, I’d do everything.

CROSSING THE LINE for love

Hi, book buddies :-) What better way to start the week than by crossing the line to love? 

MY OPINION OF CROSSING THE LINE

This injured hockey player is still hot as burning coals. And ready to be pampered in body and soul. 

Asher is so sweet! I loved his kind nature and his readiness to be claimed by the wonderful woman that Bailey is. The plot is quite catchy. A week of family time while he is recovering from a sports injury. And who better to nurse him than his doctor friend who happens to find him irresistible? 

I laughed over the author’s mention of a 'hockey but-t'. Apparently, it's a thing, and it makes women drool. She nudges the reader to Google it. Would I dare? Well, I caved in, and...  my friends, I came across Dylan Larkin and the tragic problem hockey players encounter when shopping for pants. You should watch the video. So, yeah, hockey but-t is a thing. A thing of beauty. 

Back to the novel and the very hot, very cute relationship that develops between Asher, the generous lover, and Bailey, the smart doctor with a busy life. They spend so much time together at his family’s place that they learn about each other's best assets.

It is very entertaining to watch the family members interact. I could feel their warmth and optimism, and I adored the parting scene which is so thoughtful and endearing. As much as this sweet man who is eager to have a true relationship with his girl. There are some impediments which only add intensity to the situation. Can he be a one-woman man, and can she make room for a true connection in her busy schedule?

I am totally satisfied with the cozy, happy feelings I got from this story. Friendship, fun and life flow easily, and it is so easy to fall in love with this good man! The happily ever after is a heart-warming comeback, and I think the next hockey player to score a story of his own is going to rock our world. Yay! :-D

CROSSING THE LINE 

By Kendall Ryan

Release Day: January 20, 2020

Hello, rock? 

Meet hard place.

Recovering from a pulled groin muscle isn’t exactly how I planned to spend my much-needed summer vacation.

But I’ll admit, being nursed back to health by my gorgeous friend Bailey, who’s just graduated from medical school, doesn’t exactly sound like a hardship.

We spend a week together at my family’s beach house, a week of swimming and barbecues, a week of entertaining my little cousins and sleeping right across the hall from each other. A week of watching Bailey grow closer with my mom and sisters, and my wacky but lovable grandma. A week of enjoying Bailey tending to me—which is saying something, because it involves a lot of shoving ice packs into my underwear and taping up sore muscles.

She’s funny and kind, and after just being myself for the first time in a long time, my walls come tumbling down. But when Bailey says she’s not looking for a relationship, I’m bound and determined to be more than just the fun hookup who sprained his groin a second time—this time with her.

Cover Time: The Redemption

Book buddies, this is so exciting!!!

:-D

THIS IS MY REDEMPTION...

The Redemption,

book four in the Filthy Rich Americans Saga 

by USA Today bestselling author Nikki Sloane 

is coming March 31, 2020!

To the rest of the world I’m the villain, but to her?

 I’ll be the hero.

This is Macalister Hale's story.

Once, the name Macalister Hale was uttered in the boardroom with respect. Now, it’s whispered in disgrace at cocktail parties hosted by Boston’s elite.

Scandal nearly destroyed me, but the one thing larger than my infamy is my bank account, and I’ve learned money can solve anything.

Well—almost anything.

Sophia Alby’s preferred currency is secrets and the way she trades information puts Wall Street to shame.

This girl charges into my life and claims a partnership can restore my reputation. My downfall was swift, but with her, my climb to redemption will be greater.

Our arrangement is professional. Appropriate. It has to be, because she’s half my age. But it doesn’t stop me from wanting . . .

To move on. To control and indulge in her. To hear the name Macalister Hale echo in her breathy moans.

But I can’t. Giving in to temptation led to my undoing before, and I won’t survive it a second time.

To the rest of the world I’m the villain, but to her? I’ll be the hero.

The Redemption is book four in the Filthy Rich Americans Saga and is Macalister Hale's story.

Cover Time: The Third Best Thing

Hi, book buddies :-) Cover Time! I always love getting to see a new cover, and I think the face on this one is quite worth a second look :-D

Title: The Third Best Thing
Series: Fulton U #3

Author: Maya Hughes

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Cover Design: Najla Qamber

Release Date: January 30, 2020

Isn't he gorgeous?!

Dear Letter Girl, I need to see you. When can we meet?

Her response never came. My secret pen pal with a dirty mind has ghosted me. I've roped Jules, my sweet as pie next door neighbor, to help me track her down.

There's only one problem—I'm falling for her. The tortoise shell glasses, out of this world curves and delicious treats are making the search for The Letter Girl even harder.

My notes were supposed to be a one time thing. A little too much wine and naughty thoughts on a winter's night. I never thought Berk would write back. I wanted to tell him it was me, but the fear of rejection kept my lips sealed.

Now he’s enlisted my help to track down The Letter Girl and our search has him hot on my, ahem, her trail.

She's the girl next door.

He's my secret pen pal.

Truth is on a collision course with their hearts and it’s only a matter of time before one of them gets wrecked...

ADD TO GOODREADS

Enjoy an excerpt

How can you lose someone you’ve never met? The Letter Girl had careened into my life like a damn smash and grab pro and wormed her way into my heart before I knew what happened.

She was everything I’d ever wanted in a girl. Hot as hell. Smart and caring. The slow slide of the notes from X-rated to something more caught me off guard, but she became someone I could talk to. Someone I could share parts of myself that I didn’t share with other people. Even if she didn’t know everything about my past, she knew more than most.

No one wanted to be sexy pen pals with a former foster kid with almost no one in the whole world. Nah, that was for the college senior, soon to be pro athlete.

Don’t ever let anyone see things bother you; I learned that in foster home number four. If everything’s a joke, there’s nothing they can do to hurt you, but losing TLG when I thought I’d finally found someone who knew me for me and actually gave a shit? That hurt. It was an unexpected squeeze on my heart every so often that made it hard to breathe.

Jules slid her hand closer, herky-jerky like she was in a stop motion animation movie before it finally landed on top of mine with a gentle pat. “Is it really that important for you to find her?”

I shrugged. “Maybe not. She probably got tired of trying to figure out my fucking chicken scratch.” I forced out a laugh through the tightness in my chest.

“Once the season starts things will be crazy for you, right?”

“You’re right. I guess I’m fixating because not much else is going on.” No, this would always be a question I needed answered. Who is TLG and did all the things we’d written about mean as much to her as they meant to me?

More hunks to enjoy!

I love writing stories that capture the possibilities of the paths less travelled and enjoy experiencing life through my characters’ eyes.

THE BISHOP will steal your heart

Hi, book buddies :-) It is always a pleasure to talk about one of my favourite authors: SKYE WARREN. She has a breathtaking way to express her stories, and I am a devoted fan. Right now, we can enjoy THE BISHOP, a novella of suspense and dark romance. 💜

MY OPINION

This is so beautiful! 

A chilling prologue sets a bleak and poetic tone for this beautifully melancholic story where art and mystery mingle to bind the couple.

Piece by piece, the characters emerge to ensnare the reader's avid need for a connection. The seller of a chess piece and the mysterious woman couldn’t appear more riveting than with that first laden conversation.  

This author excels at crafting tragic circumstances for the hero and heroine, and in this case it is a stolen chess bishop that throws their sorrows into stark relief while sparking a dark sensuality between them. The interactions are so alluring. Danger and desire permeate those days they spend together, and there is a wet scene that OMG. 

Both Anders and Natalie hide secrets that have scarred them, and they might stand on enemy sides of the chess board but they share such intriguing dialogues and such mesmerizing chemistry that their whole lives are changed. I loved seeing the couples from other books in the Tanglewood universe, they are powerfully present here. I loved Ander's passion which is primitive and animalistic, yet he is also touchingly caring and romantic with Natalie. And she is a brave woman, so brave. 

What a magnetic story about redemption and finding love despite all the pain.  And written with such fascinating sensitivity. I wish these stories never ended. 

We are beyond excited to be sharing this release from Skye Warren with you today by participating in the blog tour! THE BISHOP is part of her Tanglewood series and it is releasing as part of 1001 Dark Nights. It just went live! Check out the book trailer from the title below.

Risky romance: Wanting Her Stepdad

Hi, book buddies ☺ I hope you are not easy to blush because today's topic is taboo romance. Read at your own peril! 😉 

MY OPINION OF WANTING HER STEPDAD

Looking for a hot mix of innocent and dirty? I know I got my fix with this taboo little romance.

Having read a couple of novellas from this author I didn’t want to miss this one, despite the fact that it goes somewhat beyond the explosive forbidden into age-gap play between a trustworthy thirtish man and the young woman under his protection. 

It is a very hot, very sweet relationship. The characters try to resist, but they actually love each other. It is so tender as they make love because he is affectionate and she feels safe with him at all times. A little conflict comes from her mum and the pressure she feels at school,  yet the ending is so blissfully happy it really melts the heart. 

I enjoyed the contrast between her innocence and his protective alpha side. I am not sorry I read it 😂

Title: Wanting Her Stepdad

Author: Sadie Baron

Genre: Steamy Contemporary Romance

Release Date: January 14, 2020

What is this about? 

When Mom told me she was getting married again, I hated the idea of moving in with a strange man. Then I met muscular biker Gage, and I decided I liked him after all. 
Way too much, actually. 
With his big, clever hands, stormy eyes and strong, protective body, he keeps me safe from the vicious fights Mom picks with me. 

Now Mom’s left us and it’s just me and Gage. He has me purring like an engine whenever he’s close. The way his eyes caress me, I know he wants me, too.

We shouldn’t give in to our desires.

We really shouldn’t.

But I can’t help myself.

I’m burning up with need for Gage, and I’m going to show him just how much I’ve been wanting my stepdad.

Author’s note: 
With Mom out of the picture, this Daddy only wants his stepdaughter, and he’s going to protect her with everything he has. 
A short, steamy, over-the-top insta-love romance that will have you squirming beneath your plaid skirt!

ENJOY A HOT EXCERPT 

His fingers tighten on my flesh. “We can’t, Hallow. You know that.”

He’s looking down at my breasts, and my nipples are standing out hard through my T-shirt. I still can’t read his expression but he’s breathing deeply and his body is getting hotter and hotter.

“I can’t be good for you?” I whimper.

Gage groans and his large hands grip my ass, his fingers pressing against the seams of my shorts. He pushes me against the garage wall and holds me there. He pins me with his hips, and I can feel his huge c*ck through his jeans against my clit. My eyes open wide as he thrusts up against me, rubbing back and forth, all the while his eyes on mine.

“You’re so f*cking beautiful,” he growls.

The desire builds between us, our breaths synching, and I forget about everything else. The fact that he’s my stepdad, that this is wrong, that my mother could come home at any moment, it all disappears. I lick my pink glossy lips as I pant with desire, gazing into his eyes.

Gage leans in and bites my lip. I cry out loudly, and rub my pelvis hard against his. His c*ck is right over my sex and it’s making me crazy. I’m panting hard and rubbing faster and faster. It’s just like it is late at night in my bed except now it’s much better because it really is Gage I’m rubbing against, fast and intense through our clothes.

“Yes, babygirl. Come on my dick. Show me how good you are for me.” 

As he thrusts, holding me there, one of his large hands slides up under my skirt and palms my breast. He groans as he feels my bare skin on his palm. His kisses grow deeper and his thrusts harder from the touch, sending my body into an ecstasy I have no power over.
