Release with Review:: Nothing Bundt Forever by Samantha Lind


 Release Date: July 27

Battered

Broken

Discarded

 

When the hard truths of my ex-husband were exposed, my world and that of our kids changed forever. We were tossed away like yesterday’s trash by the man that was supposed to protect and cherish us.

 

With my life in tatters, I had to stay strong. I had to be the support for my kids. I had to show them that we could rise above, so I did the one that brought me peace – I baked.

 

I never expected to trust a man again, but fate had other plans. The moment he walked into my bakery, everything changed. It wasn’t just my life but that of my kids as well. He lifted us from rock bottom and helped us heal.

Cherished

Review:
Single Mom. Crappy Divorce. Cute Kids. Handsome New Man. YES Please! This story was unbelievable and made the heart pitter patter. She isn't looking for love, especially after the man she thought she could trust forever broke everything in her. He is determined to make her trust him. It is an amazing story with so much emotion and heart.

Release with Review:: Never With Me by Kaylee Ryan





Title: Never With Me
Author: Kaylee Ryan
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 26, 2022


BLURB

Ramsey

I’m out of my depth participating in a blind-date photo shoot. Not only am I meant to act like I’m open for dating, but I’m meant to be sexy and get up close and personal with a complete stranger.

None of the above is me. But I’m a sucker, and my best friend can talk me into anything.

Deacon is the kind of guy my heart could be safe with. But I’ve been taking care of myself for a long time, and I’m not sure I’m ready to rely on anyone else. Not even the handsome, successful older brother of my best friend.


Deacon

I never saw her coming. One date with a beautiful stranger and I’m hooked.

Technically, Ramsey isn’t a stranger. She’s my little sister’s best friend, the same sister who volunteered me because she claims “I’m a workaholic in desperate need of love.”

All I know is I can’t stop thinking about Ramsey and the way her lips felt against mine. I have to see her again. Good thing I’m an attorney, because convincing her to take a chance on me is going to be the hardest case I’ve ever pleaded. She’s worried about the past repeating itself. What she’s yet to figure out is that her fear is unnecessary… never with me.



Review:
This one was a totally different ball game. Ramsey has been told what to do and how to do it all her life until she gets to that breaking point and just can't anymore. Deacon is a workaholic who is determined to be the best he can be until he has his family. When these two meet, fireworks go off. The chemistry is just undeniable and cannot be fought. Ramsey tries and she just can't stay away from him. Deacon got major points for how patient and protective he is of Ramsey right away. He understands she has been hurt and needs to be taken care of. It is a special story and I am so happy I could join them on their journey.

Life hasn’t been easy for Beth, and her sexy new neighbor isn’t making it any easier.


When she inherits a beautiful old barn on the outskirts of Mason Creek, things are looking up—until she meets the stubborn cowboy next door. Turns out, he’s the absentee grandson of the man she was caring for. He got the house; she got the barn. The problem? A single driveway shared between the two.


In order to turn the property into her dream venue, she’ll have to make a deal with the handsome devil standing in her way. Access to the driveway in exchange for a date? Seems like a fair price. Except all isn’t fair in love and war—not in these parts, anyway. And making a perfect pact with a charming stranger could cost her something she can’t afford to lose… her heart.

Lucas
She’s a goddess in heels. Absolute perfection. Well, almost.
Samantha Fox is the heiress of Fox Sporting, my new management team. As one of the best wings in the NHL, I have never shied away from a challenge, and she is definitely a challenge. But if her company representing me doesn’t stop me from wanting her, the fact she’s engaged should, right?
But the noticeably absent sparkle from her left ring finger makes me question. I vow to myself that I’ll find out what that’s all about. And if she’s single, I plan to make her mine. Or at least, mine for the night. I just need one taste of the divine.

Samantha
Off-limits. That’s what he is. Lucas Bouchard is the prestigious new client acquired by my family’s company. From what I know, not only is he an amazing hockey player, he’s a humble and generous philanthropist too. Also, he’s a walking aphrodisiac.
It doesn’t matter that I’ve just broken off my engagement to a cheating, using loser. Every time our eyes lock, I find myself captivated. But he’s not for me. No matter how many times I remind myself of this, though, it doesn’t compute. Plain and simple, I want him. And keeping my distance might prove impossible.

Release with Review:: Kiss Me Forever Layla Hagen


Release Date: July 22

Last night, he was a sexy stranger I couldn't get enough of.
Today, he's my new boss, who I can't seem to please.

Bad luck seems to follow me. Last night, I grabbed a drink at the bar near my new workplace.
I met the most sophisticated man when he “stole” my table. We bantered and danced, and I went home with a stranger for the first time in my life.

The next morning, I find out my hot one-night stand is my new boss. Gone is the playful, charming man from last night. Luke Maxwell is all business, acting as if our night together never happened.
He’s impossible to please, but I’m determined to succeed. This job is my chance to prove myself and put my past—and my ex—behind me. I’m not going to mess this up.

But then we go on a business trip together and end up stranded for the night. Instead of discussing our project, he kisses me in the elevator and throws a jealous fit, claiming I’m his.
Apparently, I’m not the only one who can’t forget our evening together after all.

Review:
AHHH this family! They just get better as the series goes on. Luke is just as good or maybe better than the previous men in this series. These two are hot together and when Luke declares that Megan is 'his' well my heart just popped out. It was one that was hard to put down for real life just as always with Layla's stories.

Macon

They say time heals all wounds. But no amount of time is enough to recover from this. So, I simply exist. Eat. Work. Sleep. Repeat. Most people consider it pitiful, but they haven't experienced such a massive tragedy. It's all I can manage.

Until her. The young, single mom hired to be my new assistant. With knowing eyes, luscious lips, and a hellfire attitude, she challenges me in a way I find all too attractive. I'm shaken both in mind and body.

Suddenly, life is more complicated. And I don't like it at all. Until I do.

I never wanted a second chance at love. But sometimes fate has other plans.

Julie

They say time heals all wounds. But the emotional trauma I suffered at the hands of a man I thought I loved was difficult to mend. So, I took my daughter and started a new life.

Working full-time for an irritable, ill-tempered boss is nearly all I can manage. But he challenges me in ways I find all too attractive. Now, my mind and body are warring over the man I’m beginning to understand more than I ever wanted to.

Suddenly, life has taken a turn I’m not sure I want it to take. And I’m trying not to like it. Until I do.

I’d always hoped for a second chance at love. Maybe fate is on my side this time.

Review:
This story will tug at the heart a little bit. Macon is dealing with a grief that many of will never feel. Julie has taken a brave a step and left her abusive boyfriend so that her child can have a better life. When Julie joins Macon's company they meet and both feel it. Although Macon has a really hard time dealing with these new feelings, the author portrays them so beautifully, making the heart squeeze tight. It was a wonderful story that kept me until the very end.
