Review: The Truth About Tomorrow by B. Celeste


Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Give Me Books Promotions.

The Truth About Tomorrow is the second novel from B. Celeste and serves as a companion novel to her debut release, The Truth About Heartbreak. Both of these can be read as standalones, but if you're like me and you like reading interconnected books in order, then I highly recommend you read The Truth About Heartbreak before diving into The Truth About Tomorrow. There's some back history involved here, and I honestly think reading the books in order makes for a more well-rounded reading experience, but hey, like I said, they are both standalones. Also, just like with the first book, this second one has elements of the forbidden, though it's more amplified here than it was previously, what with the fifteen-year age gap and the shared connections the main characters share.

Charlotte Tucker bounced from foster home to foster home, but it wasn't until she was taken in and later adopted by Everett and River Tucker. With them she found not only a home but music and a family as well--a family that included her adoptive uncle, Oliver James. With Ollie, Charlie not only had a caring uncle but a true best friend. There was a decade and a half that separated them, but their bond was unlike any other. That connection wasn't broken even after Ollie left for Chicago, and soon enough, Charlie joined him there to go to school. But things were changing between them--changes that they tried to stop but couldn't because what would happen next seemed almost inevitable. Their feelings are real, but will loving each other cost them more than they thought possible?

Everett Tucker and River James's story in The Truth About Heartbreak was good, but Oliver James and Charlotte Tucker's story went several notches above theirs in The Truth About Tomorrow. If the fifteen-year age difference isn't enough of the whole taboo element--she was in her teens--take note that Charlie is Everett and River's adopted daughter, and while Everett and Ollie being best friends is complication enough, add to that the fact that River is Ollie's younger sister. See why reading the books in order is a good idea? But this wasn't just about sex for Ollie and Charlie. They had the sort of connection that, in the end, truly was worth fighting for, damn the consequences. With a whole lot of angst mixed in with the romance, The Truth About Tomorrow snags 4.5 stars. ♥

Release Blitz: Saved by Hazel James

Saved (Battles #2) by Hazel James Release Date: June 21, 2018 About Saved Leilani Moretti Life is out to get me.  Humvee accident that took my right hand? Strike one.  Cancer three years later that stole my breasts and hair? Strike two.  An overbearing mother who seems to think I’m twelve, not twenty-seven?  Yeah, I’m out of there.  I thought moving to Oklahoma would give me a fresh start. I hoped life would finally cut me some damn slack. But between the inept people at the VA hospital and a boss who’s hell-bent on fixing me, I just want to be left alone. Haven’t I been through enough already? Clay Prescott Joining the Army and deploying to Afghanistan? Hard. Kicking an alcohol addiction and starting a business combining fitness and mental health? Harder. Worth it? Hell yes.  Battles, my gym, has been so successful that I hired a new employee—a veteran herself—to help me open a second location. And that’s when it all goes to hell. Everything

At forty-eight, hook-ups, one night stands, and quickies in a bathroom are as good as it gets for him. It’s all he’s looking for when he goes to Neon. Instead, he finds Greg. Drawn to each other from the start, the two experience a bit of a bumpy take-off. But then Holden ends up on Greg

Review: The Room Mate by Kendall Ryan (Roommates #1)

Note: This ARC was provided by the author via InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review. I do believe I've found myself a new book boyfriend to drool, erm, swoon over in Cannon Roth, male main character in bestselling author Kendall Ryan's Roommates series starter, The Room Mate . This had a familiar romance trope--falling-for-your-best-friend's-sibling--and yet I didn't find it boring or tiresome in any way. This has both heart and heat as well as lighthearted humor along with a bit of heart-tugging angst and it's headlined by a couple of main characters that I was totally smitten with from the moment Paige got a pretty good idea of just how much her best friend's younger brother Cannon had grown up from the nerdy boy who followed them around like a puppy when they were kids. Bonus points for Paige being older and for the four-legged, furball named Enchilada.  When twenty-eight-year-old Paige took the call from her best friend asking if her yo
