New Release: Sunny Shelly Reviews Finding Alexei, by Kendall Ryan

He’s bossy, moody, and overprotective.

He’s also a pro athlete who needs to focus on winning games and staying out of the headlines.

I’m fiercely independent and need a man like I need a second period each month.

So when our worlds collide, I never expected him to be the one to jump in and save me. Especially not when my roommate disappears, leaving me with her baby.

I’m clueless about babies—and it shows. Good thing Alexei isn’t. With six nieces and nephews and an apparent hero complex, the dude is both sexy and more than capable. It’s a combination that makes it easy to forget we’re just playing house.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

A sweet, overprotective brute of a professional football player is the knight in shining armor for a down on her luck stripper in Finding Alexei.

Ryleigh is at rock bottom when NFL linebacker Alex Ivan happens to be at the right place at the right time. Realizing that this sweet girl needs a helping hand taking care of the baby that was dumped on her doorstep, Alexi opens his home to Ryleigh and baby Ella, no strings attached. She’s doing something good for someone else, and he is only doing the same for her.

But the more time they spend together as roommates taking care of Ella, the more lines blur. Before long, Ryleigh becomes someone that Alexi can’t stop thinking about.

This book is part of a series, as there are characters that cross over, but it reads as a true standalone. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

New Release: Forgiving Keven, by Siobhan Davis

FK_SBPR_RB.jpg

She’s the one who got away. He’s the boy she can’t forget…

Forgiving Keven, an all-new suspenseful, second-chance, new-adult romance from Siobhan Davis, the USA Today bestselling author of When Forever Changes and Inseparable, is available now!

ForgivingKeven_ecover.jpg

Cheryl

They say you never forget your first love, but I’m determined to prove Keven Kennedy is just a random boy from my past.

It’s not like I still think about him after all this time. Or daydream about how hot his kisses were and what it felt like to have his hands on my skin.

Nope, that’s not me. I’m in a happy place in my life. Engaged to a great man and finishing the last year of my photography degree.

Yet, since I returned to Massachusetts, everything reminds me of the boy who ripped my heart to shreds. Especially when my fiancé’s constant business trips, and dwindling attention, raises old fears to the surface.

And then the unthinkable happens—Keven saunters back into my life, turning it upside down once more.

It’s ironic he thinks he’s protecting me when the only one I need protecting from is him.

Keven

They say you never forget your first love. In my case, it’s true. Most everyone in high school thought Cheryl and I were a match made in heaven and that nothing could tear us apart. Until I messed up spectacularly and lost the best thing to ever happen to me.

Years have passed, girls have come and gone, but no one has laid claim to my heart in the way Cheryl did.

I thought she was lost to me forever, when an unexpected encounter with an uptight FBI agent, and an intriguing proposition, brings the beautiful blonde back into my life.

I didn’t hesitate to sign on the dotted line.

I let Cheryl down once before. I’m not going to fail her this time.

Forgiving Keven is a STANDALONE title in the Kennedy Boys world. No cliff-hanger and a guaranteed HEA.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Cheese Ball Stars

Max and Cheese! Oh, how I adored them!!!

The Dating Alternative set the bar pretty high for the books I’m going to read in 2019 because I absolutely loved it! Max is one of the sweetest, swooniest, sexy book boyfriends, and I love how sure he is of his feelings for Brie. They have both been into the other for a few years now, but neither were single at the same time. Finally, they both are, but Brie is still nursing a broken heart over her broken engagement. When she says she’s looking for an alternative to dating, Max offers a once-a-week fling, no strings attached. He’s willing to take the little bits that she gives him in their arrangement because he’s THAT sure that she is The One.

The flirty banter between them is fun and witty, and the excuses that they both come up with to make their Sundays last longer than 24 hours were quite clever! It’s not long before Brie is also head over heels with Max, but The Conflict happens that prevents her from telling him so. And what a twist that was! I did not see the event that ripped them apart coming!

Of course, Max and Cheese work things out for a wonderful HEA that is every bit unorthodox and unique as they are!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

New Release! Bourbon Bliss, by Claire Kingsley, with Lucy Score

Bourbon-Bliss-cover.jpg

Bourbon Bliss by Claire Kingsley with Lucy Score

Release Date: January 4, 2019

Amazon:  www.books2read.com/bourbonbliss

Synopsis:

I didn’t reply. I couldn’t. Seeing this man’s naked private parts had not rendered me speechless but watching him lick ice cream off his finger had.” – June Tucker June Tucker doesn’t understand people. Numbers, data, and statistics? Those make sense. People? Not so much. In a town of Friday night fighters and moonshine-swilling line dancers, she’s the odd duck. And that suits her just fine. But her sister and friends are pairing off, and the change is unsettling. George “GT” Thompson was at the top of his game—one of the best receivers in football. But a career-ending injury sidelined him for good. Now he’s hoping to find relief in the healing waters of this tiny West Virginia town. And maybe an idea of what life has in store for him next. He doesn’t expect the no-nonsense girl at the hot spring, telling him he’s not supposed to be there. And pointing out his sizeable… equipment. George is fascinated by June, with her head full of statistics and blunt honesty. He appreciates her in a way most others don’t. And when the local missing persons case takes a shocking turn, he’s by Scooby-June’s side as she digs for the truth. He was her fantasy receiver. Now he’s her real-life boyfriend. But as their relationship heats up, June worries she’s not capable of the kind of intimacy he needs. He’s convinced his campaign to get her out of her own head—to stop thinking and feel—will work. But his own crisis could drive them further apart.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: The Secret To Dating Your Best Friend’s Sister, by Meghan Quinn

 

 

How do you date your best friend’s sister? Easy.

Step one: Pretend you want her to set you up with someone else. That will bring the two of you closer.

Step two: Go on date with lots of random women, proceed to get stupid drunk and talk about your best friend’s sister, thus gaining the courage to finally make a move.

Step three: Randomly show up at her apartment and confess your love. Women love that, right?

It all seemed so simple. A fool-proof three step process that will guarantee the love of you life to fall madly in love with you.

At least–that’s what I thought was going to happen. But my attempts to win over Julia Westin backfired in more ways than I can count. The thing about Julia? She’s smart–really smart–and her wicked gaze cuts through all the charm I’ve tried slinging her way. She’s not interested in games, my gifts, or my stories. She might want me too; but she’s not giving in that easy…

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Another fab romcom from Meghan Quinn! I really loved the setup to how Bram went about wooing Julia, but also the fact that he’d liked her for a decade. This isn’t a “wow, I never noticed her before!” story — Bram sets out to get the girl and he does! Julia doesn’t make it easy for him, but it is a sloooooow burn (seriously, like 3/4 of the book is Bram going through her dating service!) but it leads to a movie-worthy moment first kiss!

The story is swoony, funny, sexy and full of little romantic moments that made me smile. I will never look at tube socks again without thinking of Bram and Julia!

My only complaint is that neither character had interactions with their parents. It’s a minor detail in an otherwise great book, but I think that it have made them more well-rounded.

In any event, I adored Bram and Julia, and I really hope that this is the start to a new series from Quinn because I need stories for the other guys, and even Linus and Clarissa!

Release Blitz: Sunny Shelly Reviews Washed Up Royal, by Kim Karr

 

Washed Up Royal by Kim Karr is your next MUST READ!
AVAILABLE NOW, you won’t want to miss this royal sensation!

Amazon — https://amzn.to/2EFQ4Zr
FREE with #KindleUnlimited

A simple notification turns my world upside down…

The tabloids are reporting,
I’ve taken the crown and run.
Not entirely true.

As you might have guessed,
I’m not an ordinary girl and I don’t lead an ordinary life,
But that doesn’t mean I always follow the rules.

This time, though,
I feel compelled to obey.

Which means I have to find a king,
To sit alongside my throne,
Or lose it all.

With only the clothes on my back,
I head to the land of majestic playboys,
Where a royal rebel strides right into my life.
With his sultry eyes and sinful lips,
He turns my world right-side up.

The press is calling him washed up.
I think he’s anything but.

Gorgeous, sexy, irresistible,
And utterly charming,
He’s exactly what I’m looking for.

Everything is almost too perfect,
Too easy.

Until I discover,
This hot-blooded royal has a reason for being here.
And it’s more than just me.

That thing I said about easy,
Turns out…

Nothing ever is.

My royal rebel has a name,
It’s Prince Adrien Laurent.
This is our story.

 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Washed Up Royal is a great start to a new series by Kim Karr, set in the fictional Vespa Isles. This marriage-of-convenience arrangement will benefit both Tori and Adrien. She needs to marry another royal to claim the throne, and he’s in need of not only a reputation rehab but the means Tori can offer as a queen to help stop some shady business his cousin, another king, is up to.

But Karr puts a twist on this trope: Tori and Adrien actually met as strangers in an airport bar, and had an amazing one-night Stand. The next day, neither of them could stop thinking about the other. Needless to say, they are both all-in when it turns out that Adrien is one of the potential husbands Victoria’s secretary has set up for her to meet!

I liked the little details in this story about the other royals. It sets up the rest of the series but didn’t take away from the main couple. Tori and Adrien had a great connection, and the I felt them falling for one another every step of the way! I can’t wait to see what the rest of this series brings!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

This book was a perfect binge read on a rainy day while my kids played with their new Christmas presents.

Elliott feels broken after her marriage crumbles, and she seeks refuge in her best friend’s empty house as she tries to put her life back together and be strong for her twin daughters. Her life is kind of turned upside down again when her best friend’s hot older brother, Duke, comes home from the service and shows up at the house as well, not knowing that Elliott and her kids are there.

While Elliott’s emotional scars are rather fresh and obvious in the wake of her divorce, Duke’s insecurities are more hidden. He’s always felt like he’s the tattooed muscle who women want to use for a quick fling, so he’s unsure of how to approach the feelings he develops for Elliott. There were a few times where I wanted to scream at them to both confess what they were feeling! And of course, her ex-husband and his ex-girlfriend are some obstacles for Elliot and Duke to overcome. But there are some really tender and sweet moments between Elliott and Duke as they start to fall for one another, and he’s so sweet with her girls!

It is a bit of a bumpy road, but Duke and Elliott finally get to their HEA — where two broken souls are fixed together— and it’s complete with a wonderful epilogue!

Fixed is the second book in a series but read to me like a true standalone, as I had not read the first installment. I will certainly be adding it to my TBR!

I read an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Excerpt
By the time the wine bottle is empty, my fingers are like
prunes. Lifting my drunk self out of the tub is a precarious exercise, but one
I’ve perfected quite well. Turning the radio off, I move to the linen cupboard.
Sober me forgot to leave a towel out. Drunk me is amused to find that sober me
also forgot to bring the clean towels up from the laundry room downstairs.
Oh man, I really am drunk.
“fuck it” I think out loud before I make my way to my
room. This is the only perk of being alone here for a few days. There’s no one
to judge me if I decide to stay in pyjamas eating takeaway and drinking wine
all weekend. There’s also no one to judge me or my not so youthful anymore body
if I decide to stroll down stairs butt naked at three pm. It’s actually quite
freeing. Since the girls, I’ve struggled with how I see myself, my body.
Carrying two good sized babies to almost full term does terrible things to a
women’s body. No amount of gym and Pilates is ever going to fix the mess that
is my stomach and thighs, much to my chagrin. And even more to Petes,
obviously.
“I bet Amber’s thighs don’t jiggle” I mutter to myself as I
pad down the stairs. In fact, I know they don’t. I saw enough of them in Pete’s
office to know that she’s toned in the places that mattered to my husband.
Ex-husband?
What the fuck ever.
Deciding that my wayward thoughts need to shut the fuck up,
I detour to the fridge for more wine, completely forgetting that I still
haven’t grabbed a robe or a towel to cover my ass up. Yanking the door open,
the frigid air biting at my skin causes me to let out a startled yelp.
“holy shit, that’s cold” I mutter as I leaned in to get the
wine that I’d stored right at the back away from the girls.
“I think that’s the point of a refrigerator, Sweetheart”
The deep gravelly voice sounding from the direction of the
front door makes me jump out of my own skin, causing me to whack my head on the
internal shelf. The clang of my teeth crashing together causing me to drop the
wine from my hand and let go of the door that had until that moment, been
hiding my naked body.
Not even the shatter of glass on the floor is loud enough to
distract me from the complete and utter mortification I feel at being caught in
all my drunk, naked glory by the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen.
Duke Nash.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Fool’s Paradise, by Lilliana Anderson

Image may contain: one or more people, people sleeping, people sitting and text

My job had a very specific goal: I found people who didn’t want to be found and delivered them to whoever employed me. After that, well, I tried not to think about what happened while I spent my money on things that made me happy. Resorts, men…I lived life by the seat of my pants because I never knew where I’d be the next week, or who I’d be looking for.
When the head of a lesser-known criminal family hired me to find her son, I wasn’t sure what I was walking into. I had his photo, so I knew the man was hot with a capital H. But I expected the usual agitated scumbag I normally went after. Not some guy running a fishing charter and looking like he didn’t have a care in the world.
I might have been curious.
I might have gotten a little too close.
I might have done a lot of things I shouldn’t have.
Things that could get me killed this time.
But hey, life wasn’t always about making the right choices. It was about making good ones.
And Toby Cartwright was a great choice.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

A great finale to the Cartwright Brothers series! I kind of developed a soft spot for Toby from the start, and was curious what kind of woman would capture the heart of the sensitive soul who didn’t really want his place in the crime family.
I really liked Blair. She was just as broken as Toby was, and I thought she complemented him very well. She was ballsy and sassy, but trying to numb emotional pain and keep the nightmares at bay. Toby took off after the disastrous event in Book #4 and has been hiding from his family ever since. When PI Blair (aka Black Widow) is hired to track him down and bring him home, both of their lives are changed forever when they are forced to go on the run in order to confront Grey, the smuggler who has made both of their lives miserable in two very different ways.

As Blair and Toby embark on a cross-country road trip, which is most likely their death march, they force themselves to take time to smell the roses along the way. And they discover that they have more in common than they thought, and it’s not just the intense physical connection. I love how hardened, jaded Toby softens as a result of the “sunshine” that Blair brings to his life. And when things really go off the rails for Toby, Blair and the Cartwrights, Toby comes through with his promise to protect Blair no matter what.

Fool’s Paradise was a great ending to this series. Because Toby is isolated from his family, the bulk of the story was the reader getting to know him and Blair as they got to know each other. But by the end, we get to catch up with the rest of the crazy clan — and get an awesome epilogue wrapping it all up with a pretty bow!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
