Blog Tour: Sunny Shelly Reviews A Gentleman For Christmas, by Prescott Lane

AGFC-BT banner.jpg

A Gentleman for Christmas by Prescott Lane

Release Date: November 26th

AGFC_ebook_amazon_kobo_ibooks.jpg

A Gentleman for Christmas, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by Prescott Lane.

Some say “chivalry is dead.”

I don’t think so. Most women I know like a gentleman.

Protective, opens doors, treats women with respect, typically follows the rules.

But a gentleman doesn’t fall for his best friend’s woman. Current or ex.

And that’s what I’ve done.

During the Christmas season of all times — that magical time for decorations, gifts, family . . .

Yes, the girl who was off-limits for so long, who I’ve loved all my life, has come back in town and possibly back to me.

I can’t follow the gentleman rules this time. There’s too much at stake. I let her go once. I won’t let her go again.

What happens under the mistletoe, stays under the mistletoe.

Or does it?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I loved the simplicity of this childhood best friends romance, but the messiness of it as well: Jax stepped aside back in high school so his friend, Luke, could date their good friend, Skylar. What neither Luke or Skylar knew is that Jax has been in love with her since they were little kids. But after the girl you stepped aside for has her heart broken, do you break the Bro Code to take your chance with the one you’ve always loved?

There was such a slow burn between Jax and Skylar, and the anticipation was killing me! Jax, a pop culture phenom for his “Gentleman Rules” really played by them all… except for the one about going for his best friend’s girl. Yet just how conflicted he was about doing so really came across. I appreciated Jax’s honesty with Skylar: He wasn’t sorry for being in love with her, even though he knew that his and Luke’s friendship wouldn’t recover. The fact that two other friends, married couple Mia and Malcolm, were also caught in this triangle and forced to pick sides, added another layer to this story for me, and Luke ultimately losing Skylar makes me wonder if Prescott Lane has a story planned for him in the future!?!?

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Excerpt

“Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife.”

Otherwise known as the original bros before hoes commandment.

I’m not advocating calling women hoes. It’s an expression, so put away your Encyclopedia of Political Correctness.

There are rules in life. The Ten Commandments were just the beginning. We have rules for everything. How to drive. How to dress. How to walk across the damn street. So why not rules for love? That’s how all this started — a set of rules between my buddies and me.

The Bro Code.

Obviously, bros before hoes is rule one. We vowed never to let a girl come between us, which meant if one of us liked a girl, she was forever off limits.

Little did I know our teenage pact would launch my multi-million dollar career. A little tweaking here and some socially acceptable rewording there and The Gentleman’s Handbook was born.

I’ve written books and given seminars on everything from how to find love, to how to propose, to how to have a successful long-distance relationship. You name it, and I’ve got rules for it. Personally, I’ve never been much of a rule follower, but that’s my little secret.

The funny thing is I’ve never been in love. Well, there is this one girl, but we won’t talk about her. It does no good to think about someone you can’t have and never will.

My lack of emotional commitment hasn’t slowed down my career one bit. Currently, I have two books on the New York Times Best Sellers List. My seminars sell out like a Drake concert.

I always find it interesting that the rules started between a group of male friends, but it’s mostly women that come to hear me speak. Occasionally, you see the poor sap boyfriend who was dragged along to listen, but for the most part it’s all women.

This time of the year is no exception. December first until January first is important for guys. Holidays are big for a lot of couples. If you don’t know what you’re doing for your lady, you better figure it out and fast. In fact, my rule is that you should be paying attention all year long.

Trust me on this. If you remember something she mentioned she liked three months ago and surprise her with it at Christmas, she’ll spread her legs before Santa even has time to slide down the chimney. Let’s be honest, that is always at least part of the goal for guys.

So my current work in progress tackles Christmas. A how-to guide for the holidays.

The Gentleman’s Rules for Christmas.

Bad boy quarterback Tyler Harris plays ball for a living and breaks hearts for a hobby.

With two championships in as many years, Tyler is the best quarterback in the league. Gorgeous and rich, he’s at the top of his game. Women love him. Men want to be him. Only Tyler’s not feeling the love. In fact, he’s not feeling anything at all. Licking his wounds after a scandal and a breakup with his long-time girlfriend, he retreats to a run-down mansion on a remote island in the Pacific Northwest. Once there, Tyler is blindsided by the sassy redhead next door. He knows that he’s met his match and possibly his soulmate. There’s one problem. She despises him.

Lavender Mead has a good reason to dislike jocks, namely an absentee father who deserted the family to coach college football. Maybe that explains her penchant for bad boys — especially those who play ball. Her new neighbor seems just that type. Yet Tyler’s not the shallow superstar she expected, and she’s inexplicably drawn to football’s bad boy. The two are so hot together, they’re combustible.

As the clock ticks down, can they commit to each other forever? Or will they both fall short of the goal at the last minute?

PRAISE FOR JAMI DAVENPORT:

“Within the pages, you will find a heartfelt story line riddled with drama, passion, raw emotion, and of course the good stuff… heat!”–Red’s Romance Reviews

“A very delicious, sports enthusiast romance!! Would definitely read more of this series.”–Shock and Awe Blog

“Jami Davenport makes it hard to sit on the sidelines and not root her characters on.”–I Love Romance

SnapDecision_Teaser3.jpg

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Snap Decision is a pretty perfect enemies to lovers romance. The hero is a cocky jock hiding a sensitive side, and the heroine is a sassy spitfire who refuses to take his BS. And she hates jocks, so the deck is stacked against Tyler from the start.

But we all know there is a fine line between love and hate, and Tyler and Lavendar keep dancing around that line throughout this story. But he’s kind of lost his purpose and passion in life, and she wants to push him to be the best man he can be. Together, they complement each other wonderfully.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Insistent, by Kaylee Ryan

 

Title: Insistent

Series: Soul Serenade #4

Author: Kaylee Ryan
Genre: New Adult

Release Date: November 27, 2018

 

Blurb
She came into my life without warning. It wasn’t love at
first sight, but the more time I spent with her, I knew she was the one. Our
relationship was complicated, and I knew I had my work cut out for me. I have
to prove to her that she’s all I see. That no matter how the past reads, we can
re-write the future.
He’s the sexiest one of the group, in my personal opinion. We’re friends, and
colleagues, well technically he’s my boss. He’s also the man that consumes my
thoughts, and my desires. I have too much at stake to allow myself to jump into
bed with him, but I really really want to.

One taste and I know I’ll never be the same. Cassidy can prolong this all she
wants, but I know how it ends. When she’s mine.

He’s relentless, and I let him drag me under his spell. It
can’t happen again, but Gavin, he’s Insistent that this is just the beginning.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3.5 Stars

Insistent is the 4th and final book in the Soul Serenade series; I have not read the other books, and while this is a standalone, there are some details that I think I would have appreciated more had I read the rest of this series first.

Gavin is kind of the last man standing amongst his friends and bandmates: He’s single, watching the rest of his friends get married and start families. He’s long had a thing for Cassidy, but since she works for the band AND Gavin is one of the record company owners, she’s hesitant to get involved with him due to their professional connection.

The story itself is sweet, and Gavin really goes out of his way to move heaven and earth to prove to Cassidy that she’s the one for him and he wants to take care of her. He’s very INSISTENT about it. There are some big swoon-worthy moments in this book, but I just had a hard time connecting with the main characters. They just didn’t click for me, and I got annoyed with how many times Cassidy pushed Gavin away before finally giving in.

Despite my lack of connection with the characters, the story itself is a good one, and it has a wonderful HEA. I’m sure fans of this series will love Gavin and Cassidy’s tale! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Excerpt
I reminded myself of the bubbly pink thing in my glass and
began pulling my hand toward my face when the cup was jerked from my grasp.
“Delicious,” Sean murmured as he sipped from the rim of my
glass, lifting his eyebrows and grinning hopelessly. Is this real?
“Where did you come from?” I snapped. “What are you doing
here?” The words fell out in accusation, but I was more surprised than
anything. I stopped dancing and stared at him, tanned and gorgeous. His beard
disappeared into delectable stubble. I had to stop myself from wanting to touch
it, to touch him. His wavy hair was cropped, forcing my focus to his glowing
emerald eyes which stared at me.
“Meeting Jesse. What are you doing here?” This creep owes me
an explanation. Or does he?
“Come here.” I pulled on his wrist and walked with Sean
through the gaping wall of windows that was open for the evening, blasted with
heat lamps and fans. Sorry, planet. In the dim glow of the streetlights I
observed Sean was wearing all black; dress pants and shirt, of course teasingly
unbuttoned at the top with his cuffs rolled over his muscular forearms. I
continued sipping from my glass, eyeing him suspiciously. I wasn’t sure what to
say, how to feel, or if he was actually standing there.
“I thought you were still in Miami,” I pressed, taking a sip
from my drink.
“I thought you’d be spending a Saturday night with your
boyfriend.” His top lip rolled from between his teeth, jaw clenched, and eyes
wild.
“Girls’ night,” I reminded him, smiling coyly. “When did you
get back?”
“Tuesday.”
“You waited almost a week to tell me.” I swung at his arm
playfully. “I’m hurt. I’m going back inside and you owe me a drink now that
you’ve tampered with this one.”
I turned to walk back into the bar and I felt his fingers
quickly wrap around my wrist and lift the glass from my hand. “I think you’ve
had enough, Ave.”
My body warmed with his hand along the middle of my back as
Sean guided me back to the booth. I was only on my second drink and resentful
he thought it was his place to tell me I had enough. I had enough of his
stupid, handsome face, that was for sure. I had enough of him the last time I
saw him, when he left me alone. Shudder. I didn’t have enough then. Seeing him
next to me, feeling his skin on my back, his eyes burning into mine, reminded
me of how much not enough I had of Sean.
Ella and Lizzie were still dancing in the middle of the
floor, leaving our booth empty. I noticed Jesse turn from the bar and gaze in
our direction, his mouth spreading into a playful smile. It was one twisted
reunion, and I couldn’t stop myself from attending.
Author Bio
Fueled by coffee and rainy days, shelves of books consuming
her home in the Pacific Northwest, and a vivid imagination, Fiona writes about
love because she believes the world needs more of it. She could spend eternity
lost in a story, taken into someone’s thoughts while she is left lingering
there long after the pages have turned. Fiona works to meld themes in the
current world and spin them into stories of longing, determination, and hope.

Jace Crawford heals hearts for a living. More than that, medicine is his life. To become the leading cardiothoracic surgeon on the west coast, he’s made sacrifices. No social life.

About Kristen:

Kristen was born and raised in a small resort town in her beloved Montana. In her mid-twenties, she decided to stretch her wings and move to the Pacific Northwest, where she made her home for more than a dozen years.

During that time, Kristen wrote many romance novels and joined organizations such as RWA and other small writing groups. She spent countless hours in workshops, and more mornings than she can count up before the dawn so she could write before going to work. She submitted many manuscripts to agents and editors alike, but was always told no. In the summer of 2012, the self-publishing scene was new and thriving, and Kristen had one goal: to publish just one book. It was something she longed to cross off of her bucket list.

Not only did she publish one book, she’s since published close to thirty titles, many of which have hit the USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists. She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series.

Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana with their two pugs and two cats.

Seventeen-year-old Evelyn Hart is a broken shell of her former self. She can’t even talk to the cute barista in the mall who asks for her number without having a panic attack afterward.

All is well until they check in at the hotel, and Evelyn comes face-to-face with the boy from the mall, Adam. Believing she has a boyfriend, Adam tells her he just wants be friends, and she agrees. They spend their entire vacation hanging out together.
Falling in love wasn’t in her plan, and now, she has no idea how to tell him about the lie—or the incident that left her in pieces—because she’s terrified he’ll run. So, Evelyn lets him return to New York without saying a word.
All she can hope for is understanding from Adam and a little Christmas magic to help her open her heart to someone once again.

Jo Michaels is…
Hi, I’m Jo. Let’s forget all the “Jo Michaels is blah, blah, blah” stuff and just go with it. I’m a voracious reader (often reading more than one book at a time), a writer, a book reviewer, a mom, a wife, and one of the EICs at INDIE Books Gone Wild. I have an almost photographic memory and tend to make people cringe at the number of details I can recall about them and/or their book(s). My imagination follows me around like a conjoined twin and causes me to space out pretty often or laugh out loud randomly in completely inappropriate situations.
I have a degree in graphic design, and my journey to the end was one few students who begin that program ever complete. However, this was one case where my memory and OCD tendencies helped me. Graduation was one of the most amazing days of my life. But, my most amazing day was when my now husband proposed. Every little girl dreams of being Cinderella someday, and he pulled off the proposal of fantasies.
At the risk of sounding cliché, I’m going to let it out there and say how much I absolutely adore the man I’m married to. Along with my children, he’s my whole world.
I’ve lived in Louisiana, Tennessee, and Georgia, but I’ve had my feet in almost every state. Traveling is something I adore, and have plans to someday see the Mongolia I’ve written about in Yassa.
One of my favorite things is hearing from fans! You can find me on social media most any day of the week. Connect! I’d love to hear from you.

“What is with all this glittery stuff?” Evie’s frustration grew as she slapped at another rack of sparkly outfits.
“Duh. It’s nearly Christmas. Everything’s gonna have some kind of glitz happening.” Shana plopped on the couch and threw herself backward, draping her forearm over her face. “You’re killing me. It’s a good thing you’re my best friend, or I would’ve traded you in a long time ago.”
“Shut. Up.” Grabbing a scarf, Evie chucked it at her friend’s head. “You know you love me.”
A grin bloomed on her over-glossed lips. “I do, but that doesn’t mean you’re not being a brat right now. Why don’t we just go to the freaking swimsuit store? You know they’ll have something beachy.”
“Have you seen their prices?”
“Yeah, but it’s not like your family is hurting for cash. What does it matter?” She sat up and threw the scarf back on the rack. It hit the metal, paused for a second, and slowly slid to the floor.
Evie bent over to pick it up and hang it properly as she answered, “Ever wonder why we’re not destitute? My parents are super frugal.”
“You guys are the definition of yuppies.”
With a sigh, she shrugged and waved her hand. “Fine. Let’s go to the swimsuit store.”
They stopped off at the coffee shop for a couple of lattes on the way. One of the baristas took the girls’ orders, and they moved to the end of the counter to wait while he fixed their drinks.
“Girl, he was eying you hard,” Shana said.
Evie turned back to look at the guy again, and she couldn’t stop the quirk of her lip when she saw him glance up, turn red, and go back to what he was doing. He was cute in a boy-band kind of way. His blond hair curled at the ends and was just long enough to graze the tops of thick eyebrows over honey brown eyes. She turned away when he looked at her again, and she grinned at Shana.
“I told you so.”
“And?”
“He’s fine as hell. If you don’t get his number, I’m going to.” Putting her hand on her hip, she pursed her lips and widened her eyes.
“No, you’re not, and neither am I. We have stuff to do.”

ONLY LOVE RB BANNER.jpg

Heartfelt, beautiful and sexy!”

Lauren Blakely, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Only Love, an all-new sexy standalone romance from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow is available now!

Only Love AMAZON.jpg

A gorgeous former Marine with a tortured soul.

The beautiful, compassionate therapist living next door.

A meddlesome grandma determined to get them together.

I was expecting a proposal on my birthday, and I got dumped instead.

How could I have been so clueless?

Grams knew exactly how to distract me.

The “cute boy next door” who’s been helping her with yard work clearly needs a little therapy. Who better to call than her newly single therapist granddaughter?

She even fakes dementia to get me to visit, and now that I’m here she’s doing everything in her power to throw us together.

Not that I’m complaining. Ryan is the sexiest man I’ve ever met–I mean the full package, from the chiseled jaw to the massive shoulders to the rippling abs. (And yes, his package is full, and he knows exactly how to deliver it.) He makes me want to get out of my head and follow my heart. He makes me want to take chances I never thought I’d take.

He also makes me want to take my clothes off. A lot.

But he’s moody and challenging–one minute he’s an open book, and the next he’s completely closed off. He holds me like he’ll never let go, but insists he wants to be alone.

Some wounds are so deep, only love can heal them.

How can I convince him to let me try?

About Melanie Harlow

Melanie Harlow likes her martinis dry, her heels high, and her history with the naughty bits left in. When she’s not writing or reading, she gets her kicks from TV series like VEEP, Game of Thrones, House of Cards, and Homeland. She occasionally runs three miles, but only so she can have more gin and steak.

Melanie is the author of the AFTER WE FALL series, the HAPPY CRAZY LOVE series, the FRENCHED series, and the sexy historical SPEAK EASY duet, set in the 1920s. She lifts her glass to romance readers and writers from her home near Detroit, MI, where she lives with her husband, two daughters, and pet rabbit.

AGFC-RB banner.jpg

A gentleman can’t always follow the rules.

A Gentleman for Christmas, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by Prescott Lane is Live!

AGFC_ebook_amazon_kobo_ibooks.jpg

Some say “chivalry is dead.”

I don’t think so. Most women I know like a gentleman.

Protective, opens doors, treats women with respect, typically follows the rules.

But a gentleman doesn’t fall for his best friend’s woman. Current or ex.

And that’s what I’ve done.

During the Christmas season of all times — that magical time for decorations, gifts, family . . .

Yes, the girl who was off-limits for so long, who I’ve loved all my life, has come back in town and possibly back to me.

I can’t follow the gentleman rules this time. There’s too much at stake. I let her go once. I won’t let her go again.

What happens under the mistletoe, stays under the mistletoe.

Or does it?
