Review: Jingle Bell Rock by Ella Frank & Brooke Blaine

Image
Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the authors. Jingle Bell Rock  was an early Christmas surprise from bestselling authors Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine, and with every succeeding chapter, it sure as heck felt like the gift that kept on giving. Comprised of several of Frank's and Blaine's most beloved fictional couples and one unforgettable throuple, what we have here isn't your expected anthology where we get a number of varied stories. Instead, this writing twosome have done something even better--have their chosen characters all come together for a fictional event just in time for the holidays! Yep, it's ONE story line--and an EPIC one at that!--featuring Frank's Logan and Tate Mitchell ( Temptation  series) and Joel, Julien, and Robbie Thornton-Priestley ( Confessions series, books one to four), Blaine's Paige and Dick Dawson ( P.I.T.A. , L.A. Liaisons book three) plus Ryleigh Phillips ( Licked , L.A. Liaisons book one) and Trent Knox and Sh

Unshackle (Deliver #7) by Pam Godwin Release Date: November 30, 2020 About Unshackle No woman can resist Luke Sanch’s chiseled features, honed physique, auburn hair, and intense green eyes. While deadly in combat, he’s an indomitable weapon in bed. He can coax an explosive release with only his mouth and annihilate with insidious, mind-blowing pleasure. When he infiltrates La Rocha Cartel, he must seduce Vera Gomez to determine whether to rescue her. Or kill her. Nothing can distract his icy, lethal focus. Except the cartel’s most feral captive. The nameless, raven-haired beauty is his key to dismantling Vera Gomez. But the ferocious little fighter challenges him at every turn and unknowingly battles her way into his heart. A battle that delivers him, physically and emotionally, into shackles. Read my 4.5-starred review of Unshackle . Add Unshackle on Goodreads . Find the Deliver series on Goodreads .

Review: Unshackle by Pam Godwin (Deliver #7)

Image
Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author. No one does dark romance quite like Pam Godwin, and I know I'm not the only one who thinks that way. Here's the thing: I'm extremely picky when it comes to tropes that aren't my go-tos, and yes, dark romance happens to be one of them. That being said, Godwin happens to be a go-to author for me, and yes, I know very well that she's a dark romance-writing goddess. So, while it may sound weird that I love to read her books even though they fall under a trope that isn't one of my top picks, it's her writing that entices me to dive in blind almost every single time she has a new release (I'm only missing one title of hers from about three years ago!). And now, she's just published the seventh (!) addition to her equal parts intriguing and enticing Deliver series, and Unshackle totally delivered. Unshackle is the story of Luke Sanch, who is no stranger to readers who are familiar with the

A Christmas Break by Annabelle Jacobs Release Date: November 30, 2020 About A Christmas Break Christmas is a time for giving, not lusting after your brother’s best mate.  Finn’s never had the Christmas of his dreams, and this year isn’t shaping up to be much better. Then he rents his spare room out to Jasper, and life begins to look up. Laid back Jasper is nothing like Finn expects. He’s hot, sweet, and easy to talk to. Finn could easily fall for him. But, he’s his brother’s best friend. He’s off limits, and Finn would never break that sacred rule...right? Jasper’s carried a torch for his best mate’s brother for years. Living with him sparks an old flame to light, and the more time they spend together, the brighter it burns. Finn is gorgeous and kind. He’s everything Jasper has ever wanted. But he’s also scarred by old wounds, and reluctant to let his guard down again. Friendship blooms, and for a short while, it’s enough. But the fire between them is undeniable. Finn can

Power Couple (NashVegas #1) by Laramie Briscoe Release Date: November 29, 2020 About Power Couple Everett James Thompson  I've been in the spotlight since I was born, thanks to my famous parents. Reaper and Harmony have been the gold standard when it comes to celebrity love stories. It's hard to be in that shadow, to live up to that precedent.  Which is why I stopped trying when my band, Grey Skies hit the big time.  But when I go to Vegas to support my Mom, in her new residency, I have absolutely no idea I'll leave Vegas with a new pop-star wife.  Brianna Jenkins  As one of the top pop-stars in the world right now, I don't have time for anything. Much less love, or even a night out.  When my best friend surprises me with tickets to the sold-out Harmony Stewart show in Vegas on my one off weekend of the month, I'm beyond excited. Especially when we find out our seats are next to her family. Harboring a crush on her oldest son added with a few more d

Review: Power Couple by Laramie Briscoe (NashVegas #1)

Image
Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Give Me Books Promotions. My introduction to Laramie Briscoe's writing was back in January of 2017 and came by way of her standalone, Trick , which was followed up by the first in her Moonshine Task Force series a couple of months later. And here's where my confession comes in: I had absolutely NO clue that the MTF series, as well as its spin-off, Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team ( LSERT ), had ties to this new series from Briscoe as well as her Rockin' Country  series, which I have yet to read but has now zoomed to the top portion of my never-ending must-read list. Here's the thing, though: If you're new to this author or, like me, haven't gotten around to reading one or all of the aforementioned tied series, then you have nothing to fret over because the new  NashVegas series starter can be read as an absolute standalone. I promise, you won't feel lost at all, but you may find you

Release Blitz: The Christmas Con by Rachel Robinson

The Christmas Con by Rachel Robinson Release Date: November 29, 2020 About The Christmas Con All I wanted for Christmas was a date… I posted one personal ad on a free, dark web dating site. I expected a Nigerian Prince who wanted my bank account number or a phishing scam. I didn’t expect to receive lavish gifts from a beautiful stranger. A plane ticket. A weeklong vacation in Bora Bora. Saying yes to everything was easy because in exchange for my insane compliance, he agreed to be my date home for Christmas. Except when I arrive in paradise I realize he isn’t just a beautiful stranger. He’s Italian royalty—an actual freaking Prince! He’s also a world-famous porn star. Falling for an untouchable man isn’t advisable, but then again this was only supposed to be The Christmas Con.  Read my four-starred review of The Christmas Con . Add The Christmas Con on Goodreads .

It's Not You (True Blue #4) by Becca Seymour Release Date: November 28, 2020 Rainbow Tree Publishing About It's Not You When a protective ex-cop helps his gorgeous tenant through his recovery, their complicated history is asking for trouble. Will the fear of the past repeating itself destroy any possibility of happiness? Daredevil drifter Lawrence Crawford is hunting for a place to call home. After ten years of looking, he believes he’s found what he’s been searching for. With a job that pays the bills and a small group of friends he’s opening up to, he lets down his guard. Perhaps too much so. Finding himself in need of support, Lawrence is forced to accept help from the one man who’s been driving him to distraction for the past year. His landlord. Former cop Billy Hilton made a mistake—admittedly there’ve been many over the years. The latest is when he lets Lawrence believe he isn’t interested in pursuing anything with him. It’s not even the age difference
