    MY BROKEN SOLDIER by Alison Mello 
    Love Conquers Life Series, Book #2
    Publisher: Limitless Publishing
    Tagline: “He may be broken, but it doesn’t mean he can’t be her hero.” 
    ★SYNOPSIS★
    Patricia Fitzgerald is finally ready to bring her relationship with Carter into the limelight, despite what her mother thinks…
     
    Patty is prepared to face the consequences and announce her relationship at her first public fundraiser with Carter. But when a strange woman makes a move on him, and she finds them in what appears to be a mutual, passionate kiss, Patty can’t believe she’s been so foolish. She should’ve known better than to trust a man.
     
    Carter’s been set up, but he can’t get anyone to believe him… 
     
    Floundering under the stress of losing Patty, the PTSD nightmares start in again, leaving Carter no choice but to turn to the only thing that will numb the pain. Alcohol—and lots of it. His family quickly intervenes and takes him to the hospital to kick-start his road to recovery. Carter knows burying the pain isn’t the answer. He has to heal…and save his relationship with Patty.
     
    Outside forces work to keep Patty and Carter apart…
     
    Suspicious of her mother’s recent actions, Patty pushes her to come clean about the setup at the fundraiser. Her jealous ex, Ben, has been blackmailing her mother into helping him ruin her relationship with Carter, and it doesn’t stop at that. Ben shows up at the lake house unwilling to accept no for an answer. 
     
    Carter needs to piece his broken life back together, but he’s running out of time… 
     
    With so many who want to destroy their happiness, he has to be strong enough to save Patty from an empty, loveless future—or he’ll be nothing more than the broken soldier she used to know.

    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 notice 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!

  • Olivia’s Ride (Sawyer Brothers Novel) by C.A. Harms

    Posted on by Karen Comment
    If you have read this series, then you have already fallen in love with Olivia.  Throughout the series we have watched her grow up under the Sawyer Brothers’ overbearing thumb.  Thankfully she has the Sawyer women to help her.  
    This book was awsome.  I had tears rolling down my cheeks by the end.  I found it heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time. The bond between father and daughter was almost tangible.  Well worth a read. 

     

    Keeton Pearce hadn’t lived a life full of supportive, loving family… 
    In fact, it was just the opposite.  
    He had been on his own for so long he had no idea what it felt like to belong. He didn’t want to rehash the life he left behind, or even think about it. But the hate from his father followed him, slowly eating away at the life he had begun to build for himself. 
    Olivia Sawyer had been prepped on how to deal with the advances of those college men she would encounter…
    After all, she had been surrounded by three alpha men who made sure she knew just how to handle herself. But when she met Keeton Pearce, all those words of warning flew right out the window.
    For the first time she had nothing to say. She was caught up in those eyes and that dimple.
    The Sawyer attitude no longer gave her the ability to be immune. 
    Neither of them counted on meeting each other. It was by chance, and no one expected that one moment would change their lives forever. 
    For the first time in his life, Keeton had hope. 
    He felt like he had found where he belonged. 
    But would he survive the interrogation of an overprotective father and the watchful eyes of Jackson and Noah?
    Or would Keeton run for the hills, fearful of…the Sawyer Brothers?
     
    C.A. Harms is like any other addicted reader. She enjoys happy endings and HEA love stories. She hasn’t always been a lover of Romance and had once been addicted to a good Mystery. Just recently she has taken on a new liking and now is a full blown Romance novel addict.  
     
    She lives in Illinois and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. You will always find her with her kindle or paperback in hand as it is her favorite pass time.

    Add to Goodreads

    The Cooper brothers receive the shock of their lives when their deceased father, owner of the lucrative Guac Olé company, wills away their inheritances to three random women.

    No one’s more surprised when Jack Cooper leaves the family estate to music superstar Macy Young than his oldest son. Seeing his childhood memories being handed over to his high school rival—the first woman to break his heart—stings, especially when Gavin is left only a pair of old reading glasses and a cryptic note. Luckily, Macy can’t sell the house for one year—plenty of time for Gavin to find a way to get it back.

    Living in the harsh spotlight of country music fame has cost Macy, and a little hometown peace and quiet just might heal her soul. But giving up and giving back Gavin’s greatest prize may not be the tune she plans to sing.

    Can a country star and a country veterinarian find a way to bury their animosity and rediscover their first love in the process?

     

    Monica Tillery lives in Texas with her own real-life romance hero and two wonderful sons. When she’s not reading and writing romance, Monica can be found enjoying her family, hanging out and playing games with friends, and wasting time online.

    Title: Sweet Texas Fire (Sweet Texas Secrets #2)

    Author: Nicole Flockton

    Add to Goodreads

    Gage Cooper has always wanted the family cabin. Not only for the oil on the property, but as a way to prove to his father that Gage’s past doesn’t define his future. When his dad wills the land to stranger Charlotte Wilkinson and all Gage gets is a mysterious key, he’s determined to do anything to get his rightful inheritance back.

    Charlotte Wilkinson never expected to inherit a piece of property in Sweet Ridge, Texas—the Aussie businesswoman is focused on building an environmental analyst career here in the States. But the moment arrogant oil-man Gage Cooper walks into her office accusing her of seducing his father, all plans for selling the property to him fly out the window.

    Then fate threatens to send her back to Australia and the dueling duo are forced to accept a fake marriage to keep their dreams alive. But as they discover common ground and a surprising chemistry together, suddenly Gage must decide what’s worth more: the land he’s always coveted or a future with Charlotte.

     

    Bestselling author Nicole Flockton writes sexy contemporary romances, seducing you one kiss at a time as you turn the pages. Nicole likes nothing better than taking characters and creating unique situations where they fight to find their true love.

    On her first school report her teacher noted “Nicole likes to tell her own stories”. It wasn’t until after the birth of her first child and after having fun on a romance community forum that she finally decided to take the plunge and write a book.

    Apart from writing Nicole is busy looking after her very own hero – her wonderfully supportive husband, and two fabulous kids. She also enjoys watching sports and, of course, reading.

  • Live for Love by TM Middletom

    Posted on by Karen 1 Comment

     

    Join me in welcoming the latest book in the All Cocks Series, Live for Love.

    My Review

    I am a child of the 80s, so I remember the beginnings of AIDS and how the disease devastated the LGBT communities. Heck it was just the Gay community then. As the years have gone by, you hear less and less about AIDS even though it is tragically still around. These days, the cultural focus seems to have shifted to other alternative sexual preferences like a Daddy Dom Little Girl (DDLG) relationship, sure they enjoy playing house but that does not mean they deserve to be aggressively judged like those who were battling AIDS in the 80s were.

    I have loved Beau since he was introduced in a past book. He is one fun Cajun. Watching him fall in love again, taking a chance with William is truly a touching experience.

    I have fallen in love with all the guys at All Cocks and I know you will too!

    Beauregard Boudreaux is a native of New Orleans Louisiana, born and raised there, he never thought he would ever stray far from home. The untimely death of his first love left Beau lost, adrift, looking for a place as far away from the pain as possible. Initially, he came to New York to visit a friend, the city growing on him, so he decided to stay. His law degree comes in handy at the LGBT Center he runs, but his bar is his baby.
    William Richards grew up in Chicago, his family oddly normal and very accepting of his sexuality. Modeling paid the bills, gigs across the country as a model, male entertainer and a personal trainer giving him the opportunity to see the world. He hasn’t experienced loss or pain as Beau has, the common denominator between them is the loneliness. As All Cocks big, brooding bottom Connor, William has found friendship, family and an outlet for his craving to be more submissive than men of his size and stature usually are.
    The two men are perfect for each other, their tastes and lives align and the writing seems to be on the wall. But Beau has a secret he shares with a choice few, a secret that not only threatens to keep them apart, it’s deadly. Determined to keep a wall between himself and William, Beau fights the attraction, pushes William away every time he steps closer. Can one man’s determination and strength be enough to tear down a wall that holds back decades of pain and darkness? And if he can, will either of them survive the flood?
    Disclaimer: This book is the fictional story of a man living with HIV. I have put a lot of time and effort into presenting this story as true to fact as possible, without going into gory or gruesome detail. If this subject is a trigger for you, you may want to skip this read. But my hope is that you give Beau a chance to capture your heart as he has mine, and William’s.
