Code Name: Genesis by Sawyer Bennett - RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW

Code Name: Genesis (Jameson Force Security, Book #1) Sawyer Bennett 

Release Date: May 7, 2019

 

Synopsis:



Years ago, they were in love. She was an up - and - coming superstar and he was the devilishly handsome security professional hired to keep her safe. They fell hard and fast, no matter how they tried to resist one another. But not everyone around them was happy about their relationship, and a string of lies and deceit destroyed what they once had.


Having just taken the helm of a nationally renowned protective services company, Kynan McGrath is looking to rebrand and revamp his career. The newly crowned Jameson Force Security is moving from the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas to the mountainous steel town of Pittsburgh, and the last thing Kynan has time for is to deal with his past.

More than a decade has passed since their split, but even a bruised and battered heart remembers its first love. So when Joslyn Meyers comes to him for help, Kynan reluctantly agrees to keep her safe from a terrifying stalker who keeps threatening her life.

As the danger they face continues to intensify, Kynan realizes he’ll stop at nothing to protect the woman who turned her back on him all those years ago. Because one thing is certain — no matter how hard he tries to convince himself otherwise, Joslyn still has his heart.

Review by Gina:

Sawyer Bennett weaved an amazing story with the perfect mix of romance and suspense! If you have read Wicked Force you get the introduction to these two characters. It is completely not necessary to read it before Code Name: Genesis but you do get the second chance aspect to the story. I loved the storytelling in this story. The author did a great job with the details and how all the secondary characters fit into the story. I can't wait to read more in this series because I am loving the romantic suspense! 

5 Stars

THAT SECOND CHANCE by Meghan Quinn - RELEASE BLITZ


 
That Second Chance (Getting Lucky #1) by Meghan Quinn Release Date: May 7, 2019 Genre: Contemporary Romance

Blurb: 

USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn delivers a smart and cheeky romance about love’s power to lift hearts . . . and curses.
It was supposed to be an innocent night, celebrating my brother’s birthday. Nothing was supposed to go wrong. We’d vowed to be on our best behavior after all . . .
But it only took one rowdy night with my brothers to flip my world upside down. One unlucky encounter saddled us with a family curse and the promise of doomed relationships. I laughed it off immediately. “Yeah, right,” I thought. “A love curse. Ha!”
Boy, was I wrong.
Word spreads quickly in a town like mine; rumors about that night soon made us the most eligible yet untouchable bachelors in Port Snow, Maine. As a subject of endless gossip and speculation, I could kiss my dating life goodbye.
It would have stayed that way if Ren Winters, the new girl in town, hadn’t crashed into my life. Brave, beautiful, and smart—her vivacious thirst for a fresh start has given me hope that maybe, just maybe, I can have one too.
Everyone wishes for that second chance . . . but could this really be mine?
 
 
Excerpt:
I’m counting out our register drawer, trying to stay focused on the numbers whipping through my head, but it’s difficult with Reid’s constant small talk. I jot down another tally mark on the paper in front of me and set aside a stack of bills.
“Hello, are you listening?” Reid asks, sounding annoyed.
“No. I’m counting.”
“Well, I’m talking about you, so you might want to lend me your ear for a second.”
Huffing, I set the cash on the counter, knowing my very persistent brother won’t be quiet until I give him my full attention. “What’s up, Reid?”
Satisfied, he smiles. “You should ask her out.”
“Ask who out?”
“Ren.”
Yeah, that’s not going to happen. “No.”
I go back to counting, but Reid starts snapping his fingers at me. “Hey, I wasn’t finished.” I look back up at him, not even slightly interested in this conversation. “I saw the way she was looking at you today. I think she likes you.”
“You’re confused. She was probably just being nice, since I’m the guy who pulled her out of the window of her car after her accident. And even if she does like me, which I highly doubt, there’s no interest on my end. So that’s the end of that.”
“Bull,” Reid and Jen both say at the same time.
Christ. My two most nagging siblings are ganging up on me. Just what I need when I’m trying to get home and relax.
“Can we not make this into a dissection of my personal life, please? I’m not in the mood, and I want to get this done so I can go home.”
“Griff, she’s pretty, she’s sweet, and she’s smart. She’s new to town and, I’m sure, could use a friend,” Jen says just as the door opens, its bell chiming through the space. Brig pops in, grease all over his shirt and a smirk on his face.
Uh-oh. There’s only one reason why he’d be smirking at me that way.
“What are we talking about?” He rubs his hands together and takes a seat on a barstool near the window. “If it’s about the hot new teacher in town, I want in on this conversation.”
“We’re trying to convince Griff to ask her out.”
Brig slow claps his appreciation. “Novel idea. I think they’re a perfect match.”
“I’m not asking her out,” I huff, giving up on the register and leaning against the wall behind me, arms crossed. There’s no way I’ll be able to concentrate on counting while these three are yapping in my ear.
“Why the hell not? She’s perfect for you,” Brig says, a little insulted at my rejection. “Before you even say no, you should at least get to know her a little. I told her today she could borrow your truck while her car is in the shop.”
I count to five before answering, tamping down my temper. “Why the hell would you do that?” Okay, maybe I didn’t tamp it down enough.
“Uh, because she lives three houses down from you?” Brig rolls his eyes as if I’m the stupid one in this conversation. “She needs some help, so be a knight in shining armor, dude. Help out the damsel in distress and then make out with her on the beach. Maybe cop a feel; get some for once.”
“I’m not doing that,” I answer, going back to the money, letting them know this conversation is over.
“And why not?” Jen asks.
“Because I’m not interested in starting or being in a relationship. I’m happy with how my life is right now, and I don’t need anything complicating it.”
“But she has heart eyes for you,” Brig says like a jackass.
“Don’t worry; there are plenty of Knightly brothers to choose from,” I reply.
“Come on, Griff, how fun can going home to an empty, lonely house really be?” Jen chimes in, concern evident in her voice.
I shift on my feet, my voice terse. “I like my house. It’s fine. I’m fine.”
Silence falls between us, an awkward air moving in like a fast-moving cold front.
“Is this because of New Orleans?” Reid finally asks, taking a seat next to Brig. Both of my brothers fix their gazes on me, waiting for an answer.
Why is this a thing whenever we talk about my love life? Can’t they just let it go? What happened was … hell, I don’t even know how to describe it. All I know is I don’t foresee love in my future.
Claire was the love of my life, and I lost her; in a blink of an eye she was gone. I’m not going through that again. Not ever.
Shaking my head, I turn away from my family. This conversation is over.
And with that, I take the cash to the back office, where I can get some peace and quiet.
Ask Ren Winters out on a date? Not going to happen.
And she’s not going to drive my truck either. I think that’s evident in the fact that she drove her car in between two trees.
Can’t blame a guy there.

Suppression by Laramie Briscoe - RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW




Title: Suppression
Series: Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team #2
Author: Laramie Briscoe
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: May 4, 2019



Blurb

From USA Today Bestselling author, the second book in the Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team Series

If you don't love, you can't get hurt...

Nick Kepler

One thing my childhood taught me was never show my emotions. Don’t make memories. Don’t count on other people. Don’t hope for the best.

All that changed when I was adopted by Ryan and Whitney Kepler.

Begrudgingly I let them into my life, along with my new sister and a best friend I would lay down my life for. But giving up my heart and accepting love in return from Kelsea Harrison? It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever tried to do.

And the truth is? I’m not sure if I’m that strong.

Kelsea Harrison

From the very moment I met Nick Kepler I knew he would be the love of my life. Problem is I haven’t been able to convince him of that yet.

When our best friends get married, Nick and I spend a drunken night letting our walls down and losing all our inhibitions. In one moment I’m given everything I ever wanted. Then, in the blink of an eye it’s taken away from me.

The question is, can I be strong for the both of us?

The answer? I have to be.

Review by Flavia:

When I read about Nick in the previous book, he was best friends with Ransom, I knew his story would just break your heart. And man my heart was so touched by this story. Nick didn't have the easiest life so you can understand his feelings toward relationships and love. But he knew that Kelsea was his person. He also knew he wasn't the person for her, he couldn't give her what she wanted, the man she deserved. But he underestimated Kelsea's love for him.
Kelsea knew that Nick was the man for her never mind what he believes. She just knew that he had to be shown that he deserves love, that he deserves happiness and most of all he deserves her. And she was the women who would show him exactly how this was going to work.
Some parts I felt sorry for Kelsea because I felt like she was giving so much of herself, but never getting anything in return from Nick. But I also commend her for being such a strong person. The one who would hold on for their love and make him see the life he could have. I can't wait to see what happens next in this series.

UNDENIABLE by Melanie Harlow - COVER REVEAL

Undeniable - CR banner.jpg

Undeniable, an all-new stand-alone sexy second chance romance from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow, is coming May 20th and we have the gorgeous cover!

Undeniable-PRINT-FOR-WEB.jpg

When we were eleven, Oliver Ford Pemberton dared me to jump off a barn roof. He said you couldn’t break a leg from a 12-foot-jump.
He lied.
(You can also break a collarbone, which served him right as far as I was concerned.)
I wish I could say it was the last dare I ever took from him, the last bet I ever made with him, the last time I ever trusted Oliver Ford Pemberton.
But it wasn’t.
Because he had the nerve to grow up gorgeous, charming, and sexy. And as we got older, the dares only got dirtier—and the betting stakes higher—until finally, he left me in pieces. I swore I’d never talk to him again.
But twenty years after I took that flying leap, he’s back in my life, daring me to risk everything for him: my job, my self-worth, and my heart.
How many chances does true love deserve?

Well Suited by Staci Hart - RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW

RB banner.jpg

Well Suited, the final standalone in the Red Lipstick Coalition Series from Staci Hart, is available now!

well-suited-illustrated-sm (1).jpg

Chemistry is my love language.
I’ve always been able to separate feelings from chemosignals. A shot of dopamine, a dash of serotonin, and a sprinkle of oxytocin—and bam. You’re in love.
And when egg meets sperm, you’re pregnant.
I couldn’t even be surprised as I stared down at the little blue plus sign, because I knew exactly when and how, and with whom it happened.
When: approximately five weeks ago. Who: one night stand. How: prophylactic malfunction.
The upside? I don’t have to go looking for a suitable mate.
Genetically, he’s the cream of the crop. His musculature is a study in symmetry and strength, his height imposing and dominant. He is a man who thrives on control and command, a man who survives on intelligence and resourcefulness. A perfect male specimen.
And the whole package is wrapped up in a flawlessly tailored suit.
I’m having this baby, and he insists we’re well-suited to have it together. And what’s worse? He wants more, in the way of love and marriage.
But love isn’t real. It’s just a product of chemistry.
And if he changes my mind about that, we’re both in trouble.

Review by Flavia:

Oh my word, this book was super amazing!!! Hilarious but amazing!
I have to say that I really loved Katherine. She was this super analytical person who lived her life being the responsible, serious, plan orientated person. And when she met Theo that just literally flew out the window. What was suppose to be a one night arrangement for her, turned into something so much more. 
And reading this journey that she and Theo went through it just made me LOL sometimes and sometimes it was so sweet that it made you want to cry. The one thing I loved about Theo was that he never tried to change Kate, he just accepted her the way she was, fell in love with the person she was and did everything in his power to make her fall in love with him by letting her be herself.
I am so going back and reading the previous books in this series. It was such a different type of writing style for me, it captured my attention from the start and I really didn't want to stop reading till I got to the end. Definitely a plus for me

5 Stars

Review by Flavia:

OMG, Piper Rayne's books just gets better and better every time. I keep thinking I loved the previous one and then I read the next one and that is my favourite, and I bet when I read the next one... well you get the picture, lol
At the end of the previous book, we were left with Huh, What happened here and the problem is that Harley is looking for her babydaddy. Unfortunately for her, the guys she thinks it is, is a twin and both of them do not remember sleeping with her. I mean really it can only happen to these Bailey's right, lol... So who is going to change his whole life and become a daddy???
This book is exactly what you can expect from Piper Rayne's books. There was never a dull moment, from the moment you started till the end you will have funny moments, sweet moments. But what is the best part is that this family takes every problem as it comes and they whole heartedly accepted Harley and the baby into their fold. I am so excited to see what the next book has in store for us. If you haven't read this series yet, you will not be sorry...

5 Stars




Review by Tatia:

When this book first starts, I thought I knew what was going to happen. Boy was I wrong! First of all, I had the wrong Bailey pegged as the daddy! This is only my second book by Piper Rayne. I’m just as mesmerized as I was with the first book I read. 
When Harley comes to town to find her daughter’s father, she gets the shock of a lifetime. She has enough to deal with right now. The last thing she needs is Bailey drama to add to it. Despite what she wants to do, she decides to give the father a chance. One week. While in the beginning it was a little slow starting, it picks up tremendously at this point. The storyline alone made me love this story. Surprise baby with someone you don’t remember, count me in! I loved all of it.

4 Stars









Piper Rayne, or Piper and Rayne, whichever you prefer because we’re not one author, we’re two. Yep, you get two USA Today Bestselling authors for the price of one. Our goal is to bring you romance stories that have "Heartwarming Humor With a Side of Sizzle" (okay...you caught us, that's our tagline). A little about us... We both have kindle’s full of one-clickable books. We're both married to husbands who drive us to drink. We're both chauffeurs to our kids. Most of all, we love hot heroes and quirky heroines that make us laugh, and we hope you do, too.
