Review: Royal Line by Carrie Ann Ryan & Nana Malone (Tattered Royals #1)


Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the authors via Valentine PR.

When Carrie Ann Ryan and Nana Malone announced they were joining forces to write a new royal romance series, I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one giddy with excitement. Tattered Royals is the series and Royal Line is the series starter. This was basically a bodyguard romance with a royal romance spin to it. London Waterford is a princess from the European kingdom of Alden, and Kannon Adams is the owner of a security firm. The two are drawn to each other, but it goes without saying that a member of the royal family and their assigned bodyguard are not supposed to indulge in whatever attraction they have for each other, what more fall in love. But tell that to this fiery princess!

London and Kannon's story has a bit of suspense to it as well as a hint of mystery, and yes, the person whom I guessed was the villain from the get-go turned out to be right. These two had the chemistry part down pat, but the complications of them getting together went beyond her being royal and him being a commoner, what with Kannon's feelings of guilt regarding his past. I enjoyed their romance and I'm curious about London's three older brothers, so I'm definitely looking forward to more from this new writing duo and their Tattered Royals series. 4.5 stars for Royal Line!

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

Asexual and HIV-positive, Greg has had a series of untrustworthy boyfriends who saw him as a challenge or told him they could accept his sexuality and status. Until they couldn’t. Still reeling from his latest breakup, Greg’s romantic heart beats a little faster when he meets Holden at a club, even though his brain whispers caution. For Holden, relationships are something he can’t afford. He’s been in the closet his entire adult life because it could cost him his job if anyone finds out he’s gay. 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
