Review:

Dominique and Maxen were so great together. The instant connection made my heart melt. These two had lived life and been there did that but when they saw each other it didn't matter, they just saw each other. Their hearts knew they were made for each other. I loved how Maxen connected with her son and they just meshed so well together. It was such a good read.

Release with Review:: Unraveled by Alexia Chase

Title: Unraveled

An Everyday Heroes World Novel

Author: Alexia Chase

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: January 28, 2021

BLURB

Alexia Chase’s Unraveled is a fast-paced, emotionally charged, sexy, contemporary romance written in K. Bromberg’s Everyday Heroes Worlds project. 

Can a man who’s been burned find love with a woman who’s full of sunshine and happily ever afters? 

Kameron Willoughby 

His mom walked out the door when he was twelve and never looked back. That was Kameron’s first taste of a woman letting him down, but certainly not the last. 

Over the years, he’s caught his high school girlfriend with his best friend. And his last girlfriend used him to humiliate another woman. To say he’s bitter and looking to lick his wounds is an understatement. 

When his cousin offers him a place to stay in Sunnyville, he jumps at the chance. Little did he know, he’d meet Little Miss Sunshine herself. 

Layla Malone

She’s looking for Mr. Right, and he has some big shoes to fill. The men in her family have loyal hearts and a helping spirit. The biggest complaint people have about her is that she’s always rushing off to rescue someone. Why’s that such a bad thing? 

The first time she meets Kameron, she’s wrangling ducklings when one accidently falls into a rainwater drain. 

Kameron couldn’t be farther from what she’s looking for. He’s grumpy, doesn’t like animals, and thinks she’s a do-gooder. Every time they meet, she’s jumping headfirst into helping someone, and he’s lecturing her on taking unnecessary risks. 

What happens when two people, who have nothing in common, keep getting thrown together? 

One thing that’s soon apparent – they have an undeniable scorching chemistry that has them both unraveling. 

Will they stay enemies? Do they have more in common than they think? 

Can Layla show Kameron that there’s light after the darkness? Or will Kameron destroy Layla’s belief that life is sunshine and rainbows? 

This story is filled with breaking preconceived notions, resolving miscommunications, learning to appreciate your past, and healing old wounds. 

There’s also some duck wrangling, cat rescuing, sexy firefighting, and an eighty-year-old man’s rushed delivery to a nursing home before his erectile dysfunction medication wears off. 

Are you ready to enjoy the next Everyday Hero? Kameron’s one Grumpalicious fireman.

Review:

I've always been a cup half full kinda girl and I loved that Layla is that girl. She loves life, tries to make the best of everything. Kameron has been burnt many times over and Layla is a little much for his liking. These two together were fun and sweet. Every grumpy hunky man should have a woman that shows him to enjoy life and dont take it too seriously. 

EXCERPT

Layla 

Between Gertrude and I, we manage to corral three of the baby ducks into the park as several customers file out of the café to cheer me on. 

I lean down and swoosh my arms in the air as another puffball waddles toward the yellow center line. “Oh, no, you don’t.” 

At my exaggerated movements, the duckling shots into the grass like a fox is hot on his tail feathers. “Good job, little one.” 

By now, cars on both sides of the road have come to a complete stop. Mayor Winston steps out of his Cadillac. He leans against the door with his arm resting over the top edge. “Beautiful day, isn’t it?” 

I swipe a strand of hair out of my eyes, but it continues to swirl. “Yes, it is.” 

He chuckles as Gertrude darts to the side of the road and frantically quacks at a duckling that has wandered down the cement gutter. “She sure has her hands full with this batch. I don’t think they’re going to make it.” 

“You and me both,” I sigh in utter frustration. There’s no time to make idle conversation. I jog to catch up with them before another unsuspecting driver ends up running over the little family. 

Not that there’s anywhere for vehicles to go. The road to the south is blocked by the Mayor and a couple other drivers who’ve stopped to chat with him. And from the north, a large 4x4 is angled sideways to block traffic. 

I squint. Who’s that? I don’t recognize the vehicle. Before I can catch a glimpse of the driver, the pipsqueak on the loose slips between the rails of the drain grate and disappears. 

“Oh, shit.” My heart skips a beat. I run to the covered trench and stare inside with my co-parent quacking and fluttering her head from side to side. How am I going to get you out of there? 

“What are you doing?” A deep voice booms from behind me. 

My mouth drops, and I pivot on my heel. Holy hotness, Batman. The man, who has apparently emerged from a monster truck with dual tailpipes, strides across the pavement. 

The muscles in his shoulders and neck ripple with each movement. When did superheroes start wearing low-hung jeans and wifebeaters? I swallow over the dry ball of lust in my throat and straighten my back. “Gertrude’s baby duckling fell into the drain.” 

He yanks the sunglasses off his face, and the darkest pair of brown eyes stare at me in utter disbelief. Then, he glances in all directions. “And that warrants this mess?” 

I jerk backward. “What mess?” 

“This.” As he waves his hand in a circle in front of him, his eyes flash with contempt. “You’re holding up traffic. All the lookie-loos are out gawking. And the Mayor’s over there holding an impromptu press conference.” 

I spin around to see Mayor Winston grinning from ear to ear as he uses his hands to talk. Tracie Atherton and Max Parson have their cellphones up as they appear to be recording his conversation. Welcome to Sunnyville, California. 

“Then, move on.” I shrug. “It doesn’t have to be your business.” 

The man purses his lips. “Yes, it does. We received a call at the fire department, and I’m the lucky one who got the assignment.”

Release with Review:: Vince by Amanda Shelley

Release Date: January 26

It’s funny how one night can change everything.

Since my parents died, I refuse to be another statistic. I’ve had to make sacrifices – especially when it comes to my social life. I’m convinced it’s worth it and I’ll have plenty of time to focus on me… later.

Then Sydney walks into my life and knocks my world off kilter.

She’s strong, sexy, independent and possibly more than I can handle. She’s everything I’ve ever wanted, but my reality and the secret I’m harboring, might have her running in the other direction.

Will my perfectly laid out plans go up in flames if I take a chance on her?

Review:

I enjoyed my first read by Amanda Shelley. It took me a few chapters to get into the story but after that I fell. Vince is a family man..taking care of his twin and his niece. He made goals and he is doing everything in his power to keep on track. That is until Sydney walks into his life. She is feisty and sassy. I loved that she challenged Vince a little. Vince wasn't our typical alpha male in most stories and that was actually refreshing. A male lead that has doubts and needs to keep his feelings bottled up to protect himself. It was a sweet and quick story that has a ton of emotion with it.

Release with Review:: Strays by Cora Brent

Title: STRAYS

Author: Cora Brent

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: January 27, 2021

BLURB

A man like me isn’t cut out to be a dad. 

And if this kid had another option I wouldn’t try to be one now. 

But for once I’m going to step up. 

I’ll right the worst of old wrongs. 

I’ll pretend this last name of mine is something decent instead of a legacy of hard-core criminals. 

I don’t know if I’ll ever be free of my sins. 

I do know it wouldn't be wise to get close enough to find out. 

Into this chaos walks Isabella Gentry. 

She was warned to keep her distance from me. 

I was the one who warned her. 

She’s beautiful. She’s headstrong. She’s spoiled as hell. 

And she’s my freaking roommate. 

Half of me wants to turn her world upside down in the cruelest way imaginable. 

The other half wants to worship the ground she walks on. 

This can go one of two ways. 

Either I’ll decide to be the worst version of myself. 

Or I’ll surrender the past in order to build a future. 

And maybe along the way I’ll prove something. 

That the guy everyone loves to hate might be redeemable yet...

Review:

This has got to be the sweetest story ever!! Rafe is young and without a map for life. He doesnt have anyone to guide him. Rafe has the sweetest soul even though he tries to cover it up with being aloof and gruff. When push comes to shove he reaches out to his only family. Izzy is trying to make it on her own. She has the best parents and family but she feels like she needs to do something on her own. Although she really isnt on her own, getting a roommate out of the deal, she gets a few new friends. I loved the friendship that comes out of the living situation. I loved the small group of friends and how much they help each other. This was a really great story and my heart just burst with all the love that was in it.

EXCERPT

“What are you gonna do about it, Izzy? Throw your wine at me?” 

She does. She throws her wine in my face. Or at least she tries to. The flick of her wrist comes up short when I rear back and the wine splashes on the floor, leaving her standing there with a stupid empty glass and a puzzled expression. That should have worked, her pretty eyes say. Why is this jackass not covered in my wine backwash? 

There’s no effort required to pluck the glass out of her hand. I toss it in the sink, where it promptly shatters. 

“Hey,” she complains. “That was Waterford crystal, you dick.” 

I chuckle and close in, aware that I’m hard and getting harder. “That’s your whole problem, Isabella.” 

Her eyes flash. Her lips pout. In another second she’ll be stamping her bare foot. “What the hell are you talking about?” 

“This.” I run a hand low, over the shape of my cock. She can see the rigid outline through my shorts. I know she can. She sucks in a corner of her lower lip and jerks her head to force her eyes away. 

“You’re disgusting.” 

I chuckle. “You wish you thought so.”

Release with Review:: Hooked by Jacob Chance

Title: Hooked

Series: Boston Terriers Hockey

Author: Jacob Chance

Genre: Sports Romance

Release Date: January 22, 2021

Avoiding bad boy hockey player Marshall Winters has been one of my goals since he did me wrong four years ago.

However, with both of us attending Boston University and his younger sister being my best friend, it’s damn near impossible.

Then he saves me from a dangerous situation, whisking me away to his family’s cabin, changing everything.

It’s just the two of us, no distractions, and nothing to keep us apart except my own rapidly fading reservations. 

Now, I’m getting hooked on the one person I shouldn’t be.

 

 

Review:

I really enjoyed Clover and Marshall's story. They are fun. I laughed and fell in love with these two. Jacob is excellent with making you feel apart of the family. This series keeps getting better. 

 

Jacob Chance is a New Englander. Born and raised in Massachusetts, he still lives there today. He is a bestselling author of twenty-seven novels, writing romantic suspense, romantic comedies, and sports romance. He is also half of the male-female writing duo, Remy Blake, who write short, steamy stories with insta love/lust and a side of taboo.

Jacob is a huge football fan, especially of the New England Patriots. He is also a martial artist and self-proclaimed practical joker.

When not writing or working his day job, Jacob enjoys reading, hanging out at the beach, and eating as much bacon as he can.
