Title: Sex God
Author: Katie McCoy
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: February 19, 2018
Blurb
My brother’s best friend is a sex god, and it’s time to even
the score…
Austin James was always my #1 crush – and off-limits – until
a college hook-up showed me he was every bit the playboy his reputation
promised. Now, he’s back after a mysterious break from the spotlight, offering
an exclusive profile that could make any journalist’s career. 
And he picks me.
Two weeks to land the scoop of a lifetime? I’m not about to
let a little unresolved sexual tension stand between me and my big break. 
OK, a *lot* of sexual tension. 
Can I figure out Austin’s secrets – before they break my
heart? And will this off-limits romance find a way to become something real?
Find out in another hot romance from Katie McCoy!

 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Sex God is the 4th book in Katie McCoy’s All-Stars series of companion books. It is a standalone, but we previously met Mia in the last book, Heart Throb, as she’s a friend of that story’s heroine, Penny.

Eight years ago, Mia shared a hot kiss with her brother’s best friend, Austin. They had a heart-to-heart conversation that night, and Mia thought that he saw her as something more than Luke’s little sister. But the next morning, she overhears a conversation between Austin and some other friends that shatters her heart.

In present day, Mia is a low-level journalist working for a clickbait-y gossip site, and Austin is one of the hottest rockstars on the planet. He had a mysterious split with his band, and is now about to release a solo album. A bit press-shy, Austin agrees to do an interview only with Mia. In return, she’s hoping that the exclusive will jump-start her career as a legit reporter.

 

Despite seeking Mia out as the reporter to tell his story, Austin is closed-off for the most part, but begins to show her bits and pieces of the real him when they are alone. The attraction between them is still as hot as ever, and before long, they give in to the “forbidden” lust between them. But can their relationship survive not only her brother’s wrath, but the pressures of their careers?

Overall, this story is a sexy brother’s best friend romance. But there are a few things in this story that I couldn’t quite reconcile, like why Austin is a sex god. Sure, he and Mia go at it like bunnies, and he has a reputation for being a manwhore, but I didn’t get the impression that he is a “sex god.” Another thing that irked me is that Austin and Mia never really discuss that kis they shared back in college. It was memorable enough for them both to be hanging on to it 8 years later, and Austin has been pining for Mia just as she’s been carrying a torch for him, but they never really discussed it. Finally, I think having a bit more detail about Austin’s family life would have led more credence to why it was such a big deal for him to not break the bro code with Luke and why his feelings for Mia made him feel like he was such a scumbag.

Sex God was certainly enjoyable enough, and an easy read. I just enjoyed the other books in this All-Stars series a bit better. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Cover Reveal: Hard Crush by Mira Lyn Kelly

 

 

Title: Hard Crush
Author: Mira Lyn Kelly
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 6, 2018

 

Blurb
HARD CRUSH is a sizzling standalone romance from
USA TODAY Bestselling author Mira Lyn Kelly.
A jaded billionaire.
The girl who got away.
A second chance has never been so sexy.
ABBY
Technology has it out for me. And I’m not
talking about my ever-ailing phone or the temperamental Smart Board in my
classroom. I’m talking about the internationally hailed “Tech Genius” formerly
known as the boy I used to love.
It was bad enough seeing that cocky smile
staring back at me from my newsfeeds, the gossip sites, and—fine—the
scorchingly hot men’s fitness magazine I bought in a moment of weakness. But
now he’s back home, teasing me with the memories I’ve tried to leave behind,
crowding into my space and taunting me with the kiss I can’t resist. I know
it’s only a matter of time before I lose him again. He’s already told me he
isn’t staying, warned me he’s changed. I know better than to let him get too
close, so why can’t I push him away?
HANK
They call me a visionary. An innovator. Hell,
last week a headline touted me as the billion-dollar geek keeping Silicon
Valley’s panties wet. Try living that down. Strip away the media BS, and I’m
just a tech-minded guy with my eyes on the future and no time for a past I
can’t change. So what am I doing following the sweet sound of its laugh back to
the woman who passed on our chance at forever?
I tell myself all I want is to say hello. To
see her smile. Just a few minutes to pretend we’re still the “us” I thought
would never end. But once I’ve had a taste of the too tempting woman she’s
become, a few minutes isn’t enough.
The man I am today is used to getting what he
wants, and I want her.
The problem? She wants the guy I used to be.
Ten years later, all that’s changed is… everything.

Excerpt

I take her
hand and remember the thousands of times I’ve done it before. “I’m glad we got
to talk. It’s been too long.”
A few
strands of her hair catch in the breeze and I tuck them behind her ear. Only
just like with hearing my name and holding her hand, the tactile sensation from
the soft strands between my fingers stirs up memories I thought safely put to
bed. It gives me ideas I shouldn’t be considering.
“Hank?”
Abby whispers, quiet and confused. “What are you doing?”
Losing my
mind. “Giving us a better goodbye.”
My fingers
curl in so the backs of my knuckles stroke her soft cheek. This is so messed
up. I know what I’m doing is wrong, but she’s looking up into my eyes.
I kiss her.
By adult
standards, it isn’t much of a kiss. A single brush of my mouth against hers and
a lingering contact I’m not quite ready to give up. And yet that barely-there
kiss has my heart slamming against my ribs and fire racing through my veins.
It’s like
I’m fifteen again. Except instead of this being my first kiss with Abby, it’s
our last, and I don’t want it to end.
I’m not
talking about not wanting it to end like I didn’t want all the other Abby stuff
to end before.
No, this is
different.
I. Don’t.
Want. This. To. End.
But too
soon, that soft clinging contact is gone, leaving only the warmth of her breath
against my lips.
One breath.
Two.
Three.
I open my
eyes, realizing I’m not the only one still holding on. Abby’s free hand, the
one that isn’t still trapped in mine, is wrapped around my tie.
She hasn’t
let go.
A shadow
passes over her eyes. “You’re not in Chicago for good.”
She isn’t
really asking, but she wants to hear me say it anyway. She wants to remind us
both that fundamentally nothing has changed. That we need to stop this before
it goes too far, and hell, I know
she’s right.
“I’m not.
Tomorrow’s just a business trip, but all indications are I’ll be out of Chicago
in a few months if this deal goes through.” And even if it doesn’t, there will
be something else. There’s always something else.
It’s the
deal breaker that lost me this woman ten years ago. After the way Abby grew up,
she couldn’t watch me leave and she wouldn’t wait for me to come back. I didn’t
understand until it was too late the first time around, but now I do.
And with
her in my arms, it’s good that neither of us loses sight of the fact that this
fundamental difference between us hasn’t changed.
She nods
her understanding, and I wait for her to take a step back, for the shake of her
head and quiet laugh. Only it doesn’t come. Instead, her eyes drop back to my
mouth and the world around us starts to slow. Because I know that look. I fucking love that look.
But this
has to be a mistake. We aren’t teenagers. We aren’t starting something new.
So what am
I doing, uncurling my fist to sift my fingers into the dark silk behind her
ear? Using that hold to tip her head back? Waiting until her heavy-lidded stare
finds mine again?
What am I doing?
Only it
doesn’t matter what I’m doing,
because then Abby is the one tugging at my tie to bring me closer. She’s the
one murmuring her agreement that this is a much better goodbye a scant inch
from my mouth.
She’s the
one short-circuiting my brain, and now the only thing I’m thinking is that I
can do much, much better.
This time
when my lips meet hers, there’s nothing barely-there about it. I kiss her hard,
gathering her close, then closer still as she opens beneath me with a
shuddering gasp I feel all the way through me.
Her fingers
knot in my hair, then race over my shoulders and neck. Christ, her touch is
electric, building the charge in my chest by the second.
We’re
breathless and frantic. Devouring each other with a hot need that edges the
line of control.
Just
another minute and we’ll stop.
Just
another taste.
My hand
wraps in her hair and she moans around the thrust of my tongue.
Yes.
The part of
my brain that’s still functioning is rolling through the data… 
We’re in a
parking lot.
The press
is camped out on the other side of the school.
I don’t do
serious, and this is the girl I learned how to love with.
We should
stop. No maybe about it.
But Abby’s
breasts are pressing into my chest as she wraps her arms around my neck, and
now there’s another part of my brain speaking up… and this is the part I know
better than to listen to. It’s the part that dirty-talked me into climbing up
the old oak outside Abby’s bedroom window… when her parents were home. It’s the
part that swore up and down security wouldn’t notice if I let myself back into
the lab at MIT after hours just to finish my experiment. And right now, it’s
casually noting the parking lot is empty.
It’s asking
me why, if the press knew we were back here, they aren’t calling my name to
score a frontal face shot.
“Hank,” she
gasps, and there’s no more mental chatter. I press her against the car, pinning
her with the weight of my body.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Elite by Carrie Aarons

 

Title: Elite

A Privileged Novel

Author: Carrie Aarons
Genre: New Adult Romance
Release Date: February 18, 2018
Blurb
If you’re in, you’ll never have to ask. If you ask,
you’ll never be in.
Eloise Mason knows what it’s like to live among the privileged. Seeking a
change from the upper crust society of Europe, she flies halfway across the
world for a semester abroad in the one place guaranteed to toss responsibility
out the window and provide some good, old-fashioned fun; college in The United
States.

Except nothing at the picturesque, Ivy-covered university in Vermont appears as
it seems. And after a mysterious invitation arrives on her doorstep, curiosity
wins over the need to turn her back on games meant for the rich and ruthless.

Secret societies, risky tasks, and an inner circle to rival the royals. But it
may just be one American boy who threatens to be the most dangerous endeavor of
all.

Colton Reiter defines the word idolized at Jade Mountain University. In fact,
he practically rules the roost from the three point line of the basketball
court. The college’s star point guard, he is a god and treated as such;
professional scouts at every game, teachers looking the other way when it comes
to grades, and girls falling into his lap at the snap of a finger. He wants for
nothing, or at least that’s what he wants everyone to believe.

But when he meets the sassy girl with the British accent who could care less
about his status, her very existence threatens to unveil the skeletons buried
deep in the back of his closet.

With stakes this high, and hearts on the line, can they turn their backs on
power and popularity before the ivory tower comes crashing down on their heads?

 

ADD TO GOODREADS 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3 Stars

This book pretty much encompasses all that is wrong with entitled, spoiled young adults. Set in a fancy Vermont college, aspiring British chef Eloise heads to the US for a few years of freedom before moving back to Europe. At Jade Mountain College, she not only meets the snootiest of girls on campus who invite her to pledge their invitation-only swanky social club, but also the school’s basketball hero, Colton. (He’s already a member of one of the exclusive social clubs.)

Elite isn’t just a YA college-set romance. There’s a bit of a mystery woven in, and while I felt like I wanted to throttle some of the girls over the games they were playing, I think that Eloise’s dirt-poor upbringing (before her family moved up the social ladder) set her apart from the rest of the rich bitches. And gave her a moral compass that the others clearly didn’t have.

Eloise and Colton’s romance unfolds at a nice pace, and they are both mature in their relationship, as opposed to some other YA couples. When backed up against a wall, Eloise is willing to sacrifice her own happiness in order to save Colton from having the secret he’s desperately trying to keep buried exposed. But when his world implodes anyway, you see just how devoted to one another they are.

Elite is a follow-up companion to Privileged, but is a standalone. I did not read Privileged, and did not feel that I was missing out on story points. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: The Pilot & The Puck-Up by Pippa Grant

 

unnamed.jpg

 

Title: The Pilot & the Puck-Up
Author: Pippa Grant
Genre: Sexy Romantic Comedy

 Release Date: February 16, 2018

Blurb
He’s the
biggest, baddest, most spider-fearing motherpucker on the ice…
When you’re named after the king of the gods, the world expects certain things
of you.

Tough? Damn right.

Smart? Don’t let the hockey uniform fool you.

Large and in charge? Honey, I’m the biggest, baddest, mother pucking-est
machine to ever own the ice. I shoot. I score. In and out of the rink. I don’t
come early, but I come often, if you know what I mean. And I always leave the
ladies wanting more.

Until that chick last night.

I’m no one-thrust wonder, and you’re damn right I’m going to prove to her I can
do better. But every time I think I’m finally on my way back into her pants,
she one-ups and out-balls me.

I should cut my losses, lick my wounds, and walk away.

But Zeus Berger doesn’t walk away from anything.

Especially when she’s the only woman in the world who might be able to handle
me.


The Pilot and the
Puck-Up is a standalone romantic comedy featuring a hockey player whose ego is
the only thing bigger than his shoe size, the most badass woman to ever fly a
plane, rubber chockey (don’t ask), and no cheating or cliffhangers.

 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Zeus Berger screeching like a little girl because of a spider is one of the funniest things I’ve ever read. We’ve gotten to know Zeus a bit in Mister McHottie and Stud In The Stacks, and I’ve been wondering what kind of woman would capture his heart. As it turns out, the lady is the female version of Zeus.

Joey is a brassy, ballsy ex-military pilot who dishes it out just as much as Zeus does. These two are two sides to the same coin. There’s something that instantly clicks between the two of them when they meet at a celebrity golf outing her company is sponsoring — even though she tries to deny it. Their multiple failed attempts to get it on just kept getting funnier and funnier.

I’m usually not a fan of the virgin trope, but I honestly felt that the fact that Joey is one was more of a throwaway. She wanted Zeus in a way that she’s never wanted any other guy, sure. But it didn’t feel skeevy to me the way that trope often does. And Zeus was such a softie with Joey, it warmed my heart to see the big lug realizing how NORMAL he felt when he was around her. That he wasn’t the giant brute that the rest of the world sees him as.

Overall, this was a fun — and so funny! — story. I loved seeing Bro and Chase in there, getting to know Manning before his story comes out. I can’t wait to read what comes next in this universe from Pippa Grant! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Excerpt
Zeus Berger (aka the biggest, baddest, most
spider-fearing mother pucker to ever play in the NHL)
Coconuts are itchy. I should’ve gone for the watermelons.
But it was a bitch and a half getting that last-minute
private fitting at Madame Cosette’s anyway, and the woman probably would’ve had
to stitch three bras together and then nailed the damn contraption to my
shoulders to get it to hold without losing a melon, so coconuts it is.
Besides, it’s the heels that are gonna be the bigger
problem. Damn good thing I have ankles of fucking steel.
And my minidress is stretched to max capacity over the
coconuts anyway. It’s also in danger of showing my other coconuts, if you catch
my drift. And there’s definitely a drift—or is that a draft?—on my other coconuts.
A wolf whistle echoes through the swanky private clubhouse
where I’m strolling in with my twin brother on my left and my brother from
another mother on my right. A passing server drops a tray of champagne.
Conversation stops. And a bunch of stuffy golf pricks gape at us like we’re a
mutant alien circus freak show crashing their million-dollar wedding reception.
We’re three dudes who have more money than God, more muscles
than all the Kardashians’ bodyguards combined, and more fun than cotton candy
and roller coasters.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Fix My Fall by Carey Heywood

 

unnamed.jpg

 

Title: Fall My Fall

Series: The Fix #3

Author: Carey Heywood
Genre: Romantic Comedy

 Release Date: February 16, 2018

Blurb
Abby Thompson’s love life is a disaster. Everyone around her is
blissfully falling in love, while she’s busy binge watching anime. The last
thing she needs is a walking temptation, in the form of ex-nerd turned dreamy
astrophysics professor, Spencer Hill, aka her new client.
It’s her job to find Spencer his dream home, NOT fantasize about a ride
on his space rocket. But the sparks between them are impossible to ignore, and
soon, Abby is wondering if her losing streak in love could be turning around.
Can she get over her anxiety he’s got her out-brained, and can he let
go of the past and the fear that the girl he crushed on in high school is still
out of his league?
Fix My Fall Teaser 3.jpg

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

This book was absolutely adorkable.

High school nerd Spencer is all grown up, back in town after years, working as an astrophysicist at the local college — and desperate to get out of his parents’ basement. Abby, who he had a crush on as a teen, is one of the local realtors. In between house hunting, the two develop a genuine friendship — as well as a genuine attraction. But Spencer can’t imagine that Abby sees him as anything more than the dork he was back when he was her brother’s tutor, and Abby simply thinks that a genius like Spencer couldn’t possibly be interested in her.

I adored how Heywood wrote these two characters. Spencer’s voice was so clearly nerd. He theorized, hypothesized and tested every decision in both his personal and professional life, including testing whether Abby was truly attracted to him or not. And the little things he did for Abby, both before and once they started dating, are swoon-worthy. And Abby’s life is a hot mess when she first meets Spencer, but he’s there to catch her when she falls over and over again.

Fix My Fall was an adorable feel-good romance. The connection between Spencer and Abby is genuine, the supporting cast of characters are so funny (I need to go read Asher’s story now!) and the pacing of their relationship is perfect. There are a few instances where something would happen at the end of a chapter that I expected to pick up on the next page, but instead, it’s like days later, and I felt that those particular questions were unresolved. But still, that didn’t take away from how much I enjoyed this story. I easily read it in a day. And their sexy times weren’t overly graphic, which is a nice change from some other books in this genre.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Cover Reveal: Second Chance Charmer by Brighton Walsh

SBPRBANNER-SecondChanceCharmer-CR

Second Chance Charmer by Brighton Walsh
Publication Date: March 19th, 2018
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Second-chance-charmer-customdesign-JayAheer2018--eBook-Cover.jpg

Willow Haven’s content. Okay, that’s a lie, but she has tried her damndest. Trouble is, it never sticks. Second oldest in a family her town was named after, she’s always felt the pressure. From the townspeople, from her sisters, but most of all from her daddy—the original Good Old Boy and Havenbrook’s reigning mayor. The only time she didn’t feel that stress had been those blissful months spent in the arms of the resident bad boy. The same one who broke her heart beyond repair when he left without a word.

Life hasn’t come easy for Finn Thomas. He’s had to claw and fight for everything he’s ever had—and truth be told, it hasn’t been much. He spent the first eighteen years of his life living so far from the wrong side of the tracks, he couldn’t even see them through his trailer window. The only thing that ever came easy for him and made his sorry ass happy was the one girl he loved with all his heart. And the one thing he had no choice but to leave behind.

When an opportunity arises to return to his tiny, southern hometown and open the first bar in a formerly dry county, he jumps at the chance. That won’t win him points with the mayor, who’s hell bent on making Finn’s life a nightmare for sullying his namesake. Too bad for Mayor Haven, Finn’s got his sights set on more than just the town, and this time he won’t be scared off quite so easily.

The people we love are thieves.

They steal our hearts. They steal our breath.

They steal our sanity.

And we let them.

Over and over and over again.
They say you never forget your first time.

Mine was with a homeless musician who effed my brains out under a
bridge.

He was my first love. And sixteen years later, I still can’t get him out of my
head.

He broke all my rules.

He also broke my heart.

I watched him climb to stardom, cheering him on from afar.

But I was never a fan; just a girl in love.

Like a tornado, he spiraled, leaving a path of destruction in his wake.

But love conquers all, right? It has to. Because here I stand, ravaged and
ruined, needing it to be true.

You can’t go back, but I want to. Back to the bridge. Back to when he sang only
for me. Before he was famous. Before he shattered my heart.

I thought I knew everything about him.

But I could not have been more wrong.

He promised me every tomorrow. And here I am, waiting.

And hoping.

Again.

Author Bio

I have a passion for the bad boys, those covered in tattoos, sexy smirks, ripped jeans, fast cars, motorcycles and of course, the sweet girls that try to tame them and win their hearts. My debut series, Ashes & Embers, follows the lives of rock band members as they find, and sometimes lose, the loves of their lives.

Born and raised a Jersey girl, I now reside in beautiful New Hampshire with my husband and our multitude of furry pets and spend most of my time writing, reading, and vacuuming.
