  • CLASH by CA Harms

    Posted on by Karen Comment

     

     

    Such a gripping and heart wrenching story.  Payton has a strength that she doesn’t know she has.  Only Dylan sees her true self.  This book had me in tears of sadness and relief. In fact, I found myself going through the spectrum of emotions.  Only a truly remarkable book can do that for me.

    I highly recommend this book especially since beach reading season is upon us. 

     

     

     

    — SYNOPSIS —

     

    It was time to fight back. 

    Time to live. 

    Too much of my life had already been taken from me by a man that should have protected me. At the hands of pure evil I have lived in fear. When most young women were learning to love, I was fighting to live. 

    I had broken free of the hate. 

    Finally getting the chance to feel what real love was, but with all good things, bad times seem to follow. At least for me it does. My name is Payton Walters and I refused to allow them anymore of my freedom. 

    I will not fall… 

     

    Not this time.

  • Fearless (Pier 70 #2) by Nicole Edwards

    Posted on by Karen Comment
    You will definitely need some tissues when you read this book.  Your heart breaks right along with his.  At the same time, you want to slap Noah upside the head.  This is the second book that I have read where a cruise brings two people together.  I love to cruise and you always see the same 10 people.  There are thousands of people on board, but those 10 seem to follow you even when you don’t want them near you.  So I can’t totally see how Noah and Dare couldn’t keep away from each other when not in the cabin.
    Theirs is a love that should have never taken such a long hiatus.  Though during their time away from each other both grew in different ways.  Once together again, you know they will never part.  
    This is another wonderful love story from the amazing brain of Nicole Edwards..

    He’s the one who walked away…

    Dare Davis, one of the four owners of Pier 70 Marina, has been living the past fifteen years of his life not taking risks. He considers himself fearless because he refuses to let anyone close enough to hurt him. He’s had his heart broken before, he’s not looking for it to happen again.

    He’s the one who let love slip through his fingers…

    Noah Pearson, thirteen-year veteran of the Austin Fire Department, finds himself being roped into a favor by his mischievous stepsister. When Milly invites him to come along on a cruise to the Caribbean, he finds himself giving in. What he doesn’t know is that Milly’s playing matchmaker. However, Milly’s surprise backfires when Noah finds himself front and center with the man who slipped through his fingers fifteen years ago.

    Some people believe in second chances.

    Things heat up when the mischievous, fun-loving bad boy comes face to face with this smoking hot fire fighter.

    Now that Dare and Noah find themselves sharing a room on a week-long cruise, can they find a way to keep the peace and ignore their past? Or – thanks to the decisions they made long ago – will they come full circle, picking right back up where they left off?

    Getting Over It by Erin Nicholas and Caught By You by Jennifer Bernard.
     
    This is book you get the best of two worlds.  I was so excited to see the collaboration of Ms. Nicholas and Ms. Bernard.  I have enjoyed both series for a very long time.  It is like having your cake and eating it too!  Caitlyn finally snags Eli!!!  Eli lives his dream, and we get to visit with friends and family of those characters we have come to know and love in these series.  
    If you haven’t read either series, please do.  They are hot and fun.  
    Caitlyn Murray has never let on that she’s had fantasies about her brother’s friend Eli Anderson for years. She’d do anything for the sexy baseball player who walked away from stardom to stay in Sapphire Falls and take care of his family. But she and Eli are friends. Just friends.

    So when her brother hatches a plan to get Eli to the pro baseball try-out for the Kilby Catfish and another chance at his dream, Caitlyn is all in. After all, what’s a little kidnapping among friends?

    A spot on the pitcher’s mound for the Catfish isn’t the only tempting thing about the spontaneous road trip. Eli already knows that Caitlyn is as sweet as the candies she makes for the Sapphire Falls bakery, but alone with her overnight in the tiny motel room in Kansas, it’s impossible to resist the urge to take a little taste.

    But when that taste leads to falling for the girl next door just as his front door is moving hundreds of miles away, can Eli really have it all? Or do they have too many strikes against them?

  • Chasing Dreams by Alison Mello

    Posted on by Karen Comment

    I have to say that my heart broke for Skyler. She is so lucky to have friends that support her. She has had such a hard life. She is due for a happiness. Logan has it all, except that one thing, a woman. One look at Skyler, and he know. I love books with love at first sight. Their chemistry is tangible from the get go. When trouble comes at them from two sides threatening to ruin everything, together they overcome and push through it.

    Passionate story that shows you your dreams can come true if you give it a chance.

     
    ★ SYNOPSIS ★
    Young, gorgeous, and with the voice of an angel, Skyler Jones dreams of becoming a singer… 
    After the death of her parents in a tragic car accident, there’s nothing to tie twenty-five-year-old Skyler to the East Coast. But if she’s learned one thing, it’s that life is short. So with aspirations of landing a record deal, she moves to the land of champagne wishes and caviar dreams. 
    Sexy, rich, and wildly successful, Logan Michaels’ club is the hottest nightspot in Los Angeles… 
    While at his club, Logan spots a stunning woman ordering a drink. In L.A., beautiful women are a dime a dozen, but this one’s different—and so is their connection. He’s never been so infatuated, and he’s determined to know more about the striking stranger. After pulling some strings, he finds out where she works and asks her to dinner. 
    They find more than love—they find opportunity…
    After a few dates, Logan convinces Skyler to perform at his club. But when Skyler dances with one of Logan’s connections, he’s unable to contain his explosive jealousy. However, his major screw-up with Skyler is the least of his problems. When a scorned ex-employee seeks revenge in the most deadly of ways, it puts both himself and Skyler’s life in danger.  
    Will Logan be able to protect Skyler from the growing threat? 
    Or will she run…and write off this chapter of her life as chasing dreams?

    ★★★ ALISON MELLO ★★★

    Alison Mello is a wife and stay at home mom to a wonderful little boy. She lives with her amazing family in Massachusetts. She loves playing soccer, basketball and football with her son.  

    After having her son, Alison started reading again and fell in love with Contemporary Romance. Reading made her happy and gave her something to do when she had downtime. As she started to read more, she started to noticed things she really enjoyed in a book and things she didn’t. She began to have ideas for writing one of her own. One day she literally woke up and started writing. She realized that if there was ever a time for her to write, it was now. She had a part time job to give her something to do. The hours at work were slow and she was bored with what she was doing, so while her son was off enjoying his friends over summer vacation she got started.  

    Alison finished the first book in two weeks and decided that she really enjoyed writing, so she kept going. She already had ideas in mind for books two and three, so she kept writing. That is how the Learning to Love Series was born.  Somewhere along the line, one of my Beta readers convinced me that Michael, a character from Finding Love, needed his own story. That is when Alison added the fourth and final book. Alison hopes you enjoy her books as much as she enjoyed writing them.
    She’s so glad she started this writing journey and hopes you will stay with her for the ride. Chasing Dreams is scheduled to release in April and the first two books of the Love Conquers Life series will be out this summer!

  • Reckless Sale Blitz

    Title: Reckless
    Series: Pier 70 #1
    Author: Nicole Edwards
    Genre: Adult, M/M Romance
    Published: October 27, 2015
    He’s a walking contradiction…
    Cam Strickland, one of the four owners of Pier 70 Marina, has earned the nickname his friends gave him years ago. Reckless. Sure. By definition. When it comes to fun, Cam hasn’t yet met a challenge he wouldn’t accept. In other areas, he’s likely far too cautious for his own good.
    He’s his complete opposite…    Gannon Burgess, CEO of Burgess Entertainment, one of the top video game producers in the world, finds himself smack in the middle of the last place he would ever expect to be. But Gannon only thinks he is out of his element standing in the small marina office. Then… he meets Cam.Rumor is opposites attract.

    Sparks fly when this sexy, tattooed bad boy comes face to face with this buttoned-up gamer in glasses.

    Can Cam and Gannon push one another out of their comfort zones? Or — thanks to the events that have shaped their lives — will the time they spend together prove to be just another reckless adventure? This one involving their hearts.
