Release with Review:: Could Have Been Us

 

Could Have Been Us by Corinne Michaels is now live!

 

New York Times Bestselling author Corinne Michaels returns to the Willow Creek Valley Series in this stunning small town, brother's best friend romance.

Fifteen years ago, I fell for Jack O'Donnell.

I was just a girl, but I knew my brother's best friend was the only man I'd ever love.

On my eighteenth birthday, when I asked him to kiss me, I never imagined it would change my life so completely.

I gave Jack everything that night.

In order to move on, we had to go our separate ways and pretend like nothing happened... as though it wasn't the greatest moment of my life.

But even that wasn't as heartbreaking as the secret we were forced to keep.

I've tried not to think about how much I still love him. How I long to be back in his strong arms or the way his hazel eyes make my heart race.

Until he kisses me again. And this time there's no turning back. This time I know what it means.

We belong together and there's no use denying it any longer.

But our feelings aren't the only thing that won't stay buried, our past resurfaces and threatens to destroy our second chance at happiness.

When our love is tested once again, will we be strong enough to stand together?

Review:
Its so sad. Stella has pinned for Jack for many years. There is a lot of love with a lot of anger. Jack has been indifferent about his feelings. Life has been hard for these two. What's up with these guys thinking they know what is best for the girls. There is no option for love. Its a struggle. Jack makes life harder than it could have been. Stella's parents don't help. Jack's relationship with Grayson doesn't help. It is a mess. My heart broke for them. I thought Grayson's story was sad but Stella wins. If Josh's story is sadder, I don't know if I will get through it. Ms. Michaels you have done it again, pulling those heart strings and making me think of this story long after the reading is done.

Release with Review:: Landon by Cora Brent

Title: Landon

Author: Cora Brent

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: April 22, 2021

BLURB

Autumn

It’s not that I’m hiding out in this hard luck little town.

Not exactly.

But I’m twenty-six years old, I’ve had one boyfriend, and he ditched me for my sister.

So I might be a little cynical.

Then again, perhaps a high school math teacher shouldn’t expect romance.

I’d be better off sticking to the good things in life, such as my job at Emblem High, my amazing circle of friends, and my vintage record collection.

I shouldn’t waste time beating myself up over past choices or crying over the people who betrayed me.

And I definitely shouldn’t obsess over the washboard abs belonging to the guy who just moved in down the hall.

There’s no denying Landon Gentry is hot.

He is also crude, sarcastic, messy and downright exasperating.

And he used to be my student.

Yeah, my new roommate might be the last guy I should be thinking about.

If only he didn’t turn out to be so much more than I ever imagined...

Landon

The football scholarship was my ticket out of town and I never planned to come back.

However, blowing out my knee in the last game of the season spelled the end of my college days.

Still, I wouldn’t have returned if not for my little brother.

He’s lost his way since I left.

And I’m the only one who cares enough to help him find it again.

Between working two jobs and trying to steer my brother back in line I’ve got enough to focus on.

I don’t need to get distracted by a quirky schoolteacher with a great body.

But Autumn’s more than just some sexy girl who rents a house with me.

She’s gorgeous and brilliant and clueless about the fact that she’s been my fantasy for years.

Seeing her right in front of me every day is just too tempting to pass up.

Even if giving in might mean disaster for us both...

Review:

Hot, Hot, Hot. As always the emblem gang will keep you sweating. Landon is adorable. He is back and trying to make things right. He has a little brother that needs some guidance. His journey takes him to his old stomping grounds: high school. Autumn has been teaching for a few years and getting her life squared away. She is trying to change one life at as time in this dying town. These two were so sweet with each other. Landon was so caring and sweet with Autumn. Autumn was a great support system for Landon. It was a classic Cora story. It was amazing. 

EXCERPT

“So….” she says and then lets the word just kind of hang there.

I’m not sure how to respond so I just wait for her to continue. There’s a plain black and white wall clock above the couch and the secondhand ticks loudly.

Tick.

Tick.

Tick.

This is officially awkward.

“So…what?” I ask her.

She can’t decide what to do with her hands. They now move behind her back. She breathes in. She breathes out. “Now that you’re here, Landon, I think it’s time we had a talk.”

I haven’t a clue which direction she’s going with this. Maybe Nesto was right and this is about to veer someplace exciting. “What do you want to talk about, Autumn?”

She appears startled by the fact that I’m using her name. I don’t know why. She’s the one who told me to stop calling her Ms. Katsaros.

She takes a breath and clears her throat. She fidgets. My eyes wander. Thanks to those shorts I can see more of her legs than I’m used to seeing. They are way above average, her legs. And they’d look pretty fucking fantastic wrapped around my waist. It wouldn’t take much for me to forget my promise to maintain a sex free environment. I’m already hard.

Autumn bites her lip. “I just feel like we should clear the air about that incident on your last day at Emblem High.”

“That’s what you want to talk about?”

“Yes. I know it was over two years ago but I just want you to know that I’ve never mentioned it to anyone and now that we’re roommates I wouldn’t want you to feel embarrassed.”

“You mean because you saw my dick?”

She blinks. “That’s one way of putting it.”

“How else would you put it?”

“That I mistakenly walked in on you having a, well, a private moment.”

“Okay.” I shrug my shoulders. “I forgive you.”

Annoyance flashes in her eyes. “I wasn’t apologizing, Landon. You were in a place you shouldn’t have been and doing something you shouldn’t have been doing.”

At this point I don’t know what she wants to hear. “In that case, I’m sorry you saw my dick.”

“Just so we’re clear, I didn’t want to see your dick.

“Well, I didn’t intend to show you my dick.”

“Okay, well, that’s good. We’re on the same page. This is not an issue and we don’t need to talk about it.”

“Then why did you bring it up?”

“I just…never mind. It’s not a thing and it’s over and it’s in the past and it doesn’t need to become a thing.”

I’m honestly confused. “What’s not a thing? My dick?”

“Yes. No!” She’s flustered and has to breathe in and out again before continuing. “Look, the dynamic between us is very different now. I am not your teacher. You are not my student. What’s done is done. I don’t feel uncomfortable and you don’t either. So we can just move forward and have a pleasant association from now on.”

Her face has become all red. During her speech she started pacing around like she does when she’s lecturing in her classroom. She also talked very fast, as if she’s rehearsed what to say.

“Are you always like this?” I ask her.

She frowns. “Like what?”

“Like all jumpy and half hysterical over nothing.”

“I’m not hysterical. I am simply attempting to engage in some open and honest dialogue.”

“Seems like a waste of time to me.”

“That’s an immature attitude.”

“If you say so.”

She’s getting flustered again. “You’ll change your mind when you’ve lived a few more years.”

I laugh. “Yeah, you’re practically ready for retirement. What are you, twenty five?”

Her chin tilts up. “I’ll be twenty seven next month.”

I let out a low whistle. “Old enough to be my mother.”

She narrows her eyes. “Look, just clean up after yourself and don’t eat my cookie dough ice cream and we’ll get along great. Can you do that?”

“I think so.”

“Wonderful. I’ll leave you alone to get unpacked. Kitchen is that way. Washer and dryer are in that closet behind you. I’m sure you can figure the rest out yourself.”

She turns, marches to the opposite side of the living room and disappears down a hallway. A second later I hear a door shut.

AUTHOR BIO

Cora Brent was born in a cold climate and escaped as soon as it was legally possible. Now, she lives in the desert with her husband, two kids and a prickly pear cactus she has affectionately named ‘Spot’. Cora’s closet is filled with boxes of unfinished stories that date back her 1980’s childhood and all her life she has dreamed of being an author. Amazingly, she is now a New York Times and USA Today bestselling writer of contemporary romance and begs not to be awakened from this dream.

BOOK BLURB
LAUREN I met him on the most devastating night of my life. After twenty-four years, I discovered there's more than one way to break your marriage vows. The life I thought would always be mine was over, and and I’m now about to face it as a single woman in her forties. I need a job, somewhere to live, and time to get to know this new version of me. What I don't need is to be saved by Gabe, the gorgeous, thirty-four-year-old, blue-eyed God I met on a drunken girls' night out. Do I? GABE The night I met her, something shifted inside me. Burned and scarred in the past by a short-lived marriage, I like my relationships with women drama free and strictly confined to the bedroom. My focus and priority are on being a single parent to my daughter. But I’m weary of the one and done life. I want something more, something real, with someone who sees past the way I look, beyond my reputation and doesn’t care about the worth of my family’s business. What I don’t need is to be fighting to prove to Lauren it’s not me, her ex, or her past she needs saving from…it’s herself. But I just can’t stay away.
Note: this book is a rewritten and expanded version of the previously published title, Saviour, book one.

TEASERS

Review:

This was such a good book. The emotion of it was just overwhelming at times. I loved both characters and couldn't get enough of them. Their banter, their love, their connection. I just couldn't put it down. This was everything that I had hoped it would be and I am thankful I was able to read it. 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR







Lesley was born and raised in a small working-class town in Essex, just outside of East London. She’s married with three sons and in 2006 they all moved to the other side of the world, settling on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, about fifty kilometres outside of Melbourne, Australia. Lesley is currently ‘a stay at home mum’, but in the past, she has worked at ‘good old Mark & Spencer’ for thirteen years and as a teacher’s assistant.As well as writing, Lesley loves to read and has been known to get through four or five books a week, when she’s not writing that is. Her other interests are watching her boys play football… the round ball version. She’s happy to admit to being an addict of social media and owes a lot to her Facebook and Twitter family in promoting her book. Lesley is also rather partial to a glass or bottle of wine, a nicely chilled Marlborough Sav Blanc being her favourite. Being a born and raised Essex girl, she will happily admit being a big fan of spray tans, manis, pedis, and is regularly, waxed, tinted and sculpted, although she doesn’t own a pair of white stilettos.

Release with Review:: Changing the Player by Jacob Chance

Title: Changing the Player

Author: Jacob Chance

Genre: Sports Romance

Release Date: April 23, 2021

Flynn

You know that voice in the back of your head telling you not to do something? Well, I don’t have one, at least not one that functions properly. Mine eggs me on, daring me to do my worst.

Which is how I’ve found myself in my current situation—on the verge of being traded from my team.

Coach gave me one last chance to prove myself, so I begged my agent, Nadia, to help me out.

Nadia

When I suggested Flynn find a woman to “fake date” as a solution to his image problem, I never imagined he’d want me to fill that position.

As his agent, I already had my hands full trying to keep him in line. But when he made an offer too good to refuse, I found myself accepting.

Now I’m committed to spending two months in the bad boy of football’s company. His very attentive company.

He smells like sin and looks like every woman’s fantasy come to life. How many stolen touches can I endure before I’m begging for more?

I’m supposed to be changing the player, not falling for him.

Review:

Flynn and Nadia were absolutely delightful. Flynn needs an image change. Nadia doesn't expect that agent and friend will turn into the image change. Flynn is funny and quick with his come backs. Nadia is cautious and tries to protect her heart. This was a really good and well written story. I couldn't put it down as usual with this author. The books keep getting better and better. I cannot wait for more. 

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.

Release with Review:: Touch by Touch by Kaylee Ryan

Title: Touch by Touch

Series: Riggins Brothers #4

Author: Kaylee Ryan

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: April 13, 2021

BLURB

Aspen

I’ve watched my sister struggle to find the happily ever after that she deserves. I know love doesn’t happen overnight, but a man like Conrad Riggins almost makes me believe in forever.

The hottie Riggins brother has always been a shameless flirt, but the way his gaze slowly travels over my towel-clad body heats things up a few degrees.

I tell myself that we’re just caught up in the moment. After the wedding, everything will go back to normal. He will be the carefree bachelor, and I’ll be the woman who kept him warm for the most incredible night of my life.

Conrad

Thanks to my brother’s impending nuptials, I’m sent to our family cabin to keep the bride’s sister company while she does whatever is it that bridesmaids do.

Aspen Steele is a force to be reckoned with and even more beautiful than I realized. It takes being trapped in a snowstorm with her for me to realize she’s my magic.

And when our scheduled time comes to an end, I’m not ready to let go. She thinks we’re just passing the time, but that’s not how our story ends. Touch by Touch, I’ll prove her wrong.

ADD TO GOODREADS

Review:

I loved this story. I loved that Conrad finally fell. He was so cute about it all too. I didn't blame Aspen for being leery of him though. He had a fast past, a busy past. I wouldn't be too sure about it just going away and being a one woman man. But they were cute together and Conrad just melted my heart.
