Cruise by Laramie Briscoe • RELEASE DAY BLITZ & REVIEW


Title: Cruise
A Moonshine Task Force Series Novel
Author: Laramie Briscoe
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: May 4, 2018


Blurb


The kid is now a man, and he’s got something to prove…..


Caleb “Cruise” Harrison

“A Dad is a son’s first hero……”

All my life I’ve looked up to my Dad, there’s nothing I ever wanted to do more than be a member of the Moonshine Task Force right next to him. I said no to playing football professionally to stay in Laurel Springs and fulfill my dream.

I’m biding my time, paying my dues, and soaking up any bit of information my fellow MTF members slip my way. To most of them I’m the kid they watched grow up, and while they’re proud of me, they don’t take me seriously.

Life is status quo until the morning all hell breaks loose in our small town threatening everyone I know and love – including the one woman I can’t get out of my head.

Ruby Carson

“My favorite place? In his arms……”

Caleb saved me from the worst date of my life, swooping in like the fixer he is. Smiling his panty-melting grin, he grabbed my hand, and extricated me from the longest ninety minutes known in the history of the world.

Instead, he took me on the best date I’ve ever had. We’ve been inseparable since that crazy night.

It hasn’t been picture-perfect. His job is dangerous, it worries me, even when he tells me not to. One gorgeous summer day, it all comes crashing down on us.

The man who has my heart is in the middle of a FUBAR situation that has no good ending. My hope is, when the smoke clears Caleb walking towards me, arms out-stretched, with that grin on his face, before he envelopes my body into the hug only he can give.

That’s what would happen in a perfect world – but I’ve never known a perfect world – not even with Caleb……

Review by: Leeann 

This book is a reminder of all that is good in the world. 
Cruise (Caleb) was raised by a single dad who’s life revolved around his son. It wasn’t always easy but they got through it and are not just father and son, but also best friends.
Ruby was raised in a traditional family and really thought she knew everything about her family. During dinner with Caleb & her family she learns things were not quite as she thought but In a good way.

These two are beautiful together and there is no angst or cheating in this story. But there is an underlying heartache that is so well expressed through the words of the story that it is almost tangible.
The MTF is front and centre in Caleb’s world and they and an amazing support cast of characters.

I don’t want to give away any spoilers but I absolutely adored Caleb and Ruby & I know everyone that one clicks this story is going to love it as much as I did!

5 Stars 


Review by: Flavia 

I can't believe its over. And I think doing Caleb's book was the best way to end this series. 
By the way that Caleb was raised there was no doubt that he would turn out to be this amazing person that he is. He is definitely every girl's dream guy. He loves his family, he loves his job and he wants to make a difference. And man does he remind of his dad Menace. :-)
And how he and Ruby met, oh man just freaking amazing. 
Cruise met Ruby when she was on a date and the date goes totally bad and he is the one who comes to her rescue, and from there, lets just say he will make you fall in love with him.
Everything about this book will make you want to read the previous books. Love, hurt, suspense and so much more. This author definitely knows how to write a flawed guy and turn him into the hero that everyone wants to come to their rescue.


5 Stars 

Review by: Tatia 

I'm pretty sure I've said it before. Just in case, I'll say it again. I LOVE THIS SERIES! I thought I loved Mason's story. I think I love Caleb's even more! To see the boy all grown up and the man he has become is what I live for in a series. 
Caleb or Cruise as he's known by his Moonshine Task Force brothers is a man now. I very sexy, confident man. A gentlemen first and foremost though. A protector. He can't help but want to protect the girl who looks scared, worried, even afraid. When he hears his chance to step in, he doesn't hesitate. Who knew the girl would become someone special. Ruby isn't used to attention from guys like Caleb. She's definitely not expecting him to take a second look at her. Or ask her out. Or to feel the way she does for him. These two are special. Now they just have to see if they can make it work and navigate the waters together. 
This series is one I never want to end. I've grown attached to this group. The men and women who make up this close-knit family are one of a kind. Laramie Briscoecreates these characters that draw you in and make you fall in love with them, the good and the bad. The storylines are original and unique. Not your everyday drama. It's real and satisfying in a way that'll have you holding your breath, awaiting the answer to all of your questions. Then the end comes and your grasping on to every word, regretting that you read so quickly. This story was everything!

4.5 Stars

JOCK ROW by Sara Ney • Review & Excerpt Tour


         JOCK ROW

JOCK HARD SERIES – Book 1
By Sara Ney
Release Day – May 3


BLURB: 

Scarlett is always the sensible one: The sober driver. The planner. The one holding your hair back while you're worshiping the porcelain gods.

Week-after-week, she visits Jock Row with her friends—the universities hottest party scene and breeding ground for student athletes. And if keeping her friends out of trouble, and guys out of their pants, was a sport, she'd be the star athlete.

Being a well known jock-blocker gets her noticed for all the wrong reasons; just like that, she's banned from Jock Row. NO GUY WANTS A GIRL AROUND WHO KEEPS THEIR JOCK FRIENDS FROM GETTING LAID.

"Rowdy" Wade is the hot shot short-stop for the university's baseball team—and the unlucky bastard who drew the short straw: keep little Miss Goody Two-Shoes out of the Baseball House.

But week-after-week Scarlett returns, determined to get inside.

Review by: Amy 

I LOVE SARA NEY! Jock Row has claimed the spot as my favorite of her books now. I think I say that as each new book comes out, but seriously this book was everything. I am not a huge fan of baseball, but I’m happy that she can make the sport entertaining and show me the hunky side to those tight pants those athletes wear ;)

Sterling and Scarlett are adorable! I love a book that can make me believe in the brooding boy and the sassy girl. These two were so opposite at first but grew on each other like a fungus! They say friends to lovers make the best relationships and I couldn’t agree more in this case. 

I loved loved loved this book. No heavy drama, no crazy backstabbing... just a good story perfectly written. I love reading with lusty heart eyes the whole book, and this story did just that. Sara can keep a story so swoon and throw sass in just for fun. Great story, an amazing read and I completely recommend this and everything Sara has written!

4.5 Stars 





Review by: Gina 

This is a melt your heart, true love kind of book! 

After coming off the Douchebag Series, I was not expecting Jock Row to a sweeter route but it was good! It was still funny and had hint of douchebagginess inside! I enjoyed the characters! I thought they were fun and likable. I enjoyed their first meeting and the story they created behind that. I did find there to be a lot of detail about random things at time and the story was a litter sweeter than what I would have liked to read. Overall, it was very enjoyable read and I am looking forward to what will come next! 

4 Stars 


   

EXCERPT
Jesus Christ, she has a dimple in her damn cheek.

I’m a sucker for those.

She shoots me a tentative smile, ass parked on the stoop, back propped against the wooden siding of the house.

It’s obvious that she’s blushing by the way she ducks her head, glancing down at the floor, the soft glow from the two busted lamps illuminate the crown of her head.

The porch lights are busted and rusty, needing their bulbs changed, one flickering—the other just about to burn out. It makes the entire place look like a goddamn Halloween fun-house, casting a weird glow on the girl’s smooth, pale skin.

And her pretty dimple.

Stop staring at it, dipshit.

I cast my glance at her outfit, doing my best to analyze her under the dim lights; she must have been sweaty inside the house; I got a good look at her before convincing her to follow me, but still study her as if seeing her for the first time.

Both of her boots are tucked under her legs, and she sits, cross-legged on the ground. Blows out a frustrated puff of air that translates into a billowing stream of steam. 

“So.” She wraps her puffed sleeved arms around her knees, hugging them tight. Shivers. “Now what?”

Her prim ponytail is jaunty, bobbing when she tilts her head to gaze over at me.

“Now I babysit you.”

“Lovely. We can bond.”

I position my large body against the railing, giving it a gentle shake to make sure it’s sturdy before supporting all my weight on it. It’s solid and secure and is going to get real uncomfortable real fucking fast if I have to stand here all night.

The girl raises her brows at me. They appear black in this light; full and arched expertly. “Have you babysat anyone before?”

“No one I managed to keep alive,” I joke. “A few cousins my parents forced me to watch a few times; never would feed them but would occasionally throw out a dog bone so they wouldn’t get hungry.”

She smiles, dimple denting the smooth right side of her face. “Is that what you have planned for me?”

I raise my empty hands. “I’m fresh out of Scooby snacks. Guess we’ll both have to starve.”

“Sorry you have to sit out here.”

“Really?” I sound hopeful. “No one is forcing you to sit out here.”

Her light laugh is quiet. “Fine. I guess I’m not that sorry.” She bites down on her lower lip. “I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t enjoying your discomfort—just a little bit.”

“Gee, thanks.”

BLURB: 

Sometimes your first love deserves a second chance…
He was my first crush, my first kiss, my first everything.
But I’m not a lovesick teenager anymore, and I’d never let that cocky troublemaker break my heart again.
So when he shows up out of the blue asking me to have dinner with him “for old time’s sake,” I say I will. After all, it’s been twelve years, and I’m stronger and smarter than I was back then.
Except…he still does something to me. He’s got those eyes that make me weak, those hands that drive me wild, and a body I can’t resist—especially once I see the tattoos. It doesn’t take long for our trip down memory lane to go from sweet to sizzling.
We’re just as good together as we were back then—better, even—and I’m willing to give the only man I’ve ever loved another chance.
But he’s got to tell me the truth.
* * *
All I wanted was to see her again. Tell her I’m sorry. Make her smile.
Okay, that’s a lie. I wanted to do more than that—a lot more. But I know she’s better off without me, and I promised myself I’d behave.
Except I’ve never been much good at keeping promises…or my hands to myself when I’m around her.
I can make her laugh, I can make her cry, I can make her body surrender to mine in ways that neither of us could have imagined back then. I can—and I do—love her more than she’ll ever know.
But I can’t tell her the real reason why I’m here.
And I can’t stay.

From the author who brought you A Thousand Boy Kisses comes the new emotional novel,
A Wish For Us.
A story of music. A story of healing. A story of love conquering all.




Nineteen-year-old Cromwell Dean is the rising star of electronic dance music. Thousands of people adore him. But no one knows him. No one sees the color of his heart.

Until the girl in the purple dress. She sees through the walls he has built to the empty darkness within.

When Cromwell leaves behind the gray skies of England to study music in the South Carolina heat, the last thing he expects is to see her again. And he certainly doesn’t expect that she’ll stay in his head like a song on repeat.

Bonnie Farraday lives for music. She lets every note into her heart, and she doesn’t understand how someone as talented as Cromwell can avoid doing the same. He’s hiding from his past, and she knows it. She tries to stay away from him, but something keeps calling her back.

Bonnie is the burst of color in Cromwell’s darkness. He’s the beat that makes her heart skip.

But when a shadow falls over Bonnie, it’s up to Cromwell to be her light, in the only way he knows how. He must help her find the lost song in her fragile heart. He must keep her strong with a symphony only he can compose.

A symphony of hope.
A symphony of love.
A symphony of them.

Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That’s why God created central air, after all.
Jessica is the mother of a perfect little boy–she refuses to accept that he inherited her attitude and sarcastic nature no matter what her husband says.
In addition to being a wife and mom, she’s also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books–romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it’s a passion…there’s a difference. Not that she’d expect a boy to understand.
Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.
