Blurb:

When U.S. Marine Corp Sgt. Orion MacKinnon loses both his legs in the bloody sands of Afghanistan, he forsakes his soul along with them. After retiring to a remote location in the snowy mountains of Alaska with his Special Forces canine companion—a German Shepherd named Zeus—he becomes a recluse and vows never to wear the prosthetic legs he keeps buried out of sight…
until a lone hiker becomes trapped beneath an avalanche on his mountain.

The woman Orion calls Hope can’t recall a shred of her former life. As he tends to her wounds she slowly begins to unravel the tight seclusion he has wrapped around himself.

She can’t remember her past. He only wants to forget his.

However, the two have more in common with the forces that brought them together than they realize, including the sinister presence that will threaten their very lives.

When their pasts collide, will they survive the future?

MY STORY Good blue eyes.jpg

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Orion was the first book I’ve read by Raeah Wilding, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The blurb pulled me in, but the story kept me turning pages. This book was so much more than a love story between an injure war vet suffering from PTSD and an amnesiac who has no idea who she is or why she was on his secluded Alaskan mountain.

The connection between Orion and Hope, as he calls the mysterious woman, was so sweet. She is literally the woman of his dreams — which I first thought was slightly hokey, but by the time I got to the end of the story, the dreams just worked overall.

I was not expecting the intrigue and suspense involved in this story, but it kept me up into the early hours of the morning because I just had to read one more chapter. And then there is shattered, wounded, broken Orion. How far he’s willing to go to deal with his crippling PTSD to be with Hope is a testament to how deep his love for her runs.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Excerpt:

This is going to hurt both of us irreversibly. There’s no analyzing or rationalizing or examining—no making any fucking sense of this at all—there is only this raw reckoning, a natural force that threatens to consume me. And goddamn it, I want it to. I want it to do its fucking worst.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Most Eligible Bastard, by Annika Martin

MEB-SBPRBANNER-BT

 

Title: Most Eligible Bastard
Author: Annika Martin
Genre: Romantic Comedy

Most Eligible Bastard, an all-new standalone romance from New York Times bestselling author Annika Martin is LIVE!

He’s a powerful billionaire CEO who built the family business into an empire. The money doesn’t matter to him, but the company is his life. And then his eccentric mother wills it all to her tiny dog.

 

AMMostEligibleBastardCover525x8_HIGH

********
I’m Vicky, the dog whisperer. (Not really, but that’s what my elderly neighbor always says.) When she dies, she surprises everybody by leaving a corporation worth billions to her dog, Smuckers. With me as his spokesperson.

Suddenly I go from running my Etsy store to sitting in an elegant Wall Street boardroom with Smuckers in my lap. And my neighbor’s son, Henry Locke, aka New York’s most eligible bachelor, glaring across the table at me.

Rumor has it Henry’s a business genius who’s as talented in the bedroom as he is in the boardroom. Sure, he’s gorgeous. Sex-in-a-seven-thousand dollar suit. But…

He’s arrogant and infuriating.
He refuses to listen to me when I insist I didn’t con his mother.
He thinks he can bully me, buy me off, control me, even seduce me.

Henry may have the women of Manhattan eating out of the palm of his hand, but I’m so over entitled rich guys who think they own the world.

No way will his wicked smile be charming ME out of my panties.

His wicked…devastating…impossible-to-resist smile.

Oh well, who needs panties anyway?

Excerpt:

She glares at me now. “I can’t believe you tried to strip poor Smuckers of his vote. Do you have no decency?”
“When it comes to protecting this company?” I say. “No.”
Her gaze intensifies. “Just no?”
“None at all,” I say. “No decency whatsoever. Nada, if you will.”
Her pretty lips part. It’s shock. Maybe a little bit awe.
I give her an amused smile, adjusting my jacket sleeve over my cuff just so. The suit was tailored by a man who charges three hundred bucks an hour and is worth every penny.
“Uh,” she says. “You think you’re all that? You’re not.”
“Oh, I am all that,” I say. “I very much am. And for the record, I will crush you in the end.”
“Smuckers had this medication once,” she says. “We tried to hide it in his food, and he spit it out. No matter what we did, he’d spit it out.” She puts one finger on the paper with the new amendment and slides it back across the desk. “Smuckers doesn’t like when people try to fool him. That’s his message for you.”
“I have a message for Smuckers.” I put my finger on it and slide it back across to her. “Smuckers needs to know that we have a private investigator on this case. Smuckers might not have very nice food to eat if you ended up in prison.”
Finally she looks scared.
Brett swoops in. “I say we settle this. One-time offer from me personally.” He writes the number—$4,500,000.00. “This offer expires in two minutes.”
My heart pounds. She needs to take offer. We’ve shown how close she can come to losing everything.
She looks at the paper.
She’s all alone caring for that sister of hers. She’s poor—we have her banking information; we know it for a fact. She has every reason in the world to take it. Yet she hesitates.
“This is our last offer,” Brett says. “After this, we’ll take the company from you, and you’ll get nothing.”
She raises her brown eyes to me. It’s me she’s really dealing with. I like that she knows that.
“You know what Smuckers hates even more than being fooled?” she says.
My heart pounds. She almost lost everything to me, and now she’s going to tell me a dog story?
“He hates being threatened,” she says. “And bullied. He really, really hates it.”
“Well he’s going to have to get used to it,” I hear myself saying. “He’s used to bubbles and bows and sunny parks but he’s in the jungle now. There are animals who are faster and stronger and smarter than he is. Animals who will dominate him easily—savagely, even.”
“Then you don’t know Smuckers very well.”
“Oh, I know all about Smuckers, and I’d suggest he practice rolling over. Baring his belly for the superior predator.” I lower my voice. “Begging sweetly for mercy.”
The color heightens in her face. This shouldn’t be fun.
But oh, it is.
I keep going. “Smuckers may think he can request packets and bylaws and get up to speed, but he can’t compete here. He doesn’t have the skills.”
“Smuckers thinks owning fifty-one percent is the best skill to have,” she says.

MEB-AN

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Most Eligible Bastard takes the enemies to lovers trope to a whole new level! This story was just FUN from the moment that Vicky and Henry meet in his dying mother’s hospital room. I know, I know. Dying mother’s hospital room isn’t the standard Meet Cute. But it works. It sets the stage for a hilarious romantic comedy that has a toy Maltese and a jewelry designer running an international conglomerate.

The author does a great job of describing Vicky’s hatred of fancy rich guys because of an incident in her past, as well as the lack of love Henry felt at the hands of his mother. It sets the perfect stage for these adversaries to find a common ground in a place they never expected to find it. As Vicky is bound and determined to not be pushed around by Henry, he is just as determined to get his birthright back. The tentative friendship that Henry and Vicky build gives them a foundation for something more, but by the time they actually get there, and are falling for one another, his actions and manipulations break them them apart.

The scene where Vicky realizes what Henry did actually made me weepy and feel the punch in the gut! But how he goes about making things right is absolutely swoon-worthy!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Breakaway, by Heather Orgeron

unnamed.jpg
unnamed (1).jpg
Title: Breakaway: A friends to lovers romance
Author: Heather M. Orgeron
Genre: NA/Friends-to-Lovers
Release Date: November 9, 2017
Blurb
I fell in love with my best friend but he didn’t love me
back.
Sounds like a cheesy line from a country song, right? Too
bad it’s the story of my life.
I thought that I’d moved on, swore he was the one.
But that facade began to fade in the flash of a half-carat
diamond ring.
Now years later, here I am, running back to the boy who broke
my adolescent heart, hoping that just maybe, he’ll be the one to piece it back
together.
…. I fell in love with my best friend while she fell in love
with him.

Ironically, it was my own damn fault. I practically served
her up on a silver platter.
So I turned to my second love, basketball, moving across the
country to escape.
For years, I’ve been sitting on the sidelines watching,
waiting.
Now it’s time to make my move.
No more fouling out.
This time, I’m going to score.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3 Stars

This story just didn’t work for me. I get that it’s a best friends secretly in love with one another book, but too much of the story was Colt and Alex ignoring their feelings for one another and playing stupid games trying to make the other jealous. What was supposed to build up anticipation for the couple finally, finally getting on the same page kind of backfired for me. I can’t quite put my finger on why that is, because this trope is generally a favorite of mine. But I took issue with the way their parents pushed them together so frequently as teenagers — I mean, teenagers still having sleepovers IN THE SAME ROOM? Friends or not, that’s just not cool at that age. I had a hard time getting past that and never felt invested in wanting the two of them to get together.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Hard Work, by K.M. Scott

 

unnamed.jpg
unnamed (1).jpg
Title: Hard Work
Author: K.M. Scott
Genre: Erotic Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 9, 2017
Blurb

Zane Gilford has lived a blessed life. The only son of the owner of The Gilford House Inn, he’s benefitted from his mother’s extraordinary success. But Vermont was never where he wanted to be, and the day after graduation, he put the quaint country inn and everything about it behind him and never looked back.Until now.

The death of his mother left Zane a very wealthy man, but in her will she also left him a surprise. For an entire year, he must run that Vermont inn he’s hated all his life if he wants to get one red cent of his inheritance.

Becca Fox has worked her way to the top of the advertising business and has the personal and professional scars to prove it. In her rare time off, she loves visiting her favorite bed and breakfast in the mountains of Vermont. When she finds a new owner running The Gilford House Inn, she wonders if her favorite getaway place has been ruined for her. He’s sexy as all hell and incredibly good looking, but he’s so cocky and arrogant.

From the first moment he sees her, Zane knows he wants Becca, but to get a woman like her, he’s going to have to learn to be a better man than he’s ever been. He’s got an inn to run and a woman to win. Neither is going to be easy. And time isn’t in his favor.

 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3 Stars

If you are looking for a story with a jerk of a leading man, then Hard Work is right up your alley. Zane is a cocky, arrogant jerk who is forced to run his late mother’s successful Vermont inn for a year in order to collect his inheritance. His behavior is so deplorable to both employees and guests, I really had a hard time liking the guy.
He begins to soften up when Becca — a former flame — turns out to be one of the guests staying at the inn. The story was good, and Zane does turn things around to become a better person and is redeemed. But I found that I couldn’t connect with Zane and Becca as a couple, and it finally dawned on me WHY: The reconnection was kind of brushed under the rug. I was expecting MORE from both of them when they crossed paths, and the whole scene felt like a bit of a let-down.

Still, Hard Work was a decent story and a fairly quick read. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Teaser Thursday: On The Way To You, by Kandi Steiner

 

November 9th Teaser.png

On the Way to You, an all-new emotional standalone from Kandi Steiner is coming November 16th!

 

What makes you happy?

That was the question Emery Reed asked me the day we met, and I couldn’t give him a single answer. I could have said my dog, or my books, or yoga — but I just stared.

And then, I got in his car.

It was crazy to take a road trip with a stranger, but after years of standing still, he was my one-way ticket to a new life, and I wasn’t going to miss it.

We shared the same space, the same car, the same hotel room — and still, we were strangers.

One day we’d be laughing, the next, we wouldn’t speak. Emery was surrounded by impenetrable walls, but I wanted in.

Discovering his journal changed everything.

I read his thoughts, words not meant for anyone’s eyes, and the more I learned about him, the harder I fell. It turned out nothing made Emery Reed happy, and I wanted to change that.

I earned his trust by violating his privacy, and as wrong as it was, it worked — until one entry revealed a darkness I never knew existed, a timer I never knew was ticking.

Suddenly, what made me happy was saving Emery from himself. I just didn’t know if I could.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Endless Love, by Nelle L’Amour

Title: Endless Love

Series: Love Duet #2

Author: Nelle L’Amour
Genre: Steamy Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 8, 2017
Blurb

 

The long-awaited sequel to New York Times bestselling author, Nelle L’Amour’s critically
acclaimed masterpiece, Undying Love, which
is now FREE! at all retailers!
“With love, there are no goodbyes.”
The heart-wrenching words of Ryan Madewell’s beloved late
wife. It’s been almost five years since Allee died, but Ryan, now a successful
writer, hasn’t been able to move on. Passing in and out of the stages of grief,
he’s been unable to find a woman who can mend his broken heart. Someone new to
love and cherish.
Until he meets Willow Rosenthal, a fiery, spirited former
ballerina, who awakens in him feelings of lust and passion he thought he’d
never experience again. Allee, in her dying letter, urged Ryan to move on…to
live his life and find another woman to make him feel alive again. And finally
he has.
Just when Ryan thinks he can let go and love again, Willow’s
demons from the past resurface and threaten to end their relationship. Ryan
must fight for what he deserves. Will his heart once again be shredded to
pieces or will he finally get his happily ever after?
NOTE: While Endless Love
can be read as a standalone, it is recommended you read Undying Love first, which is FREE! at all retailers.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I’ve been eagerly awaiting this sequel to Undying Love for a few years now, and Nelle L’Amour did not disappoint! Set five years after Allee’s tragic death, Ryan is best-selling author thanks to his memoir, but he’s still grieving the loss of the love of his life. And it’s given him a major case of writers’ block.

His life is instantly changed the moment he meets Willow, whose dad just so happens to run the deli where Allee and Ryan ordered food from all the time. Yep, Allee definitely had a hand in bringing these two together!

As their relationship unfolds, Ryan struggles as he comes to grips with his developing feelings for Willow and the guilt of feeling like he’s betraying Allee. I loved how Allee is still so much a presence in Ryan’s life in all of his conversations with her. I thought that NL handled that part of the story quite nicely, but there were other parts — mostly towards the end when Willow’s dance master comes into the picture — that felt rushed and a bit bumpy. The story didn’t flow as organically for me in some of those parts. But overall, Endless Love was a perfect sequel to Undying Love, and the epilogue — Ryan with his family, 10 years to the day that he ran the NY Marathon with Allee — was a perfect conclusion.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

PAPERBACK

Trailer

Excerpt

I studied the massive weeping willow, the tree for which she
was named, taking in the depth and breath of it. From a huge jutting branch
hung a swing. The old-fashioned homemade kind composed of two strands of thick
rope and a plank of wood. Willow caught my eyes on it.
“Yeah. It’s been here forever. It dates back to the forties.
My grandpa installed it. I spent a lot of my childhood on it. Want to go for a
ride?”
A few moments later, we were on the swing. Our entwined
fingers gripping the ropes. Willow straddled on my lap facing me. Anchored on
my cock. Pumping rhythmically with her long, supple legs. As forcefully as
mine. Her face, her breath, her smile in mine. Her flaming red hair blowing in
the warm wind with each pump. And with each pump, my cock growing harder. Her
body arching back. Her eyes looking up to the sky. My head tilting to follow
her gaze. The tree’s leafy green boughs shrouding us like curtains. My cock
thickening with each pump. Each pump more powerful. To make us go higher.
Higher and higher. Shooting into the sky.
I was getting a high in more ways than one. So turned on, I
wanted to stop the swing, zip down my fly, and make love to her. Hold her in my
arms. Let her ride me. Give the birds and bees a show.
“Look at me,” I shouted out to her on the next exhilarating
pump. As my long legs straightened taking us sky-high, her radiant face met
mine, her green eyes holding me fiercely, an inviting, wicked smile on her
face. She was beautiful. A temptation. As the wind captured her hair, I leaned
in to her and captured her lips. It wasn’t premeditated; just pure savage need.
Something I couldn’t help.
Without slowing down the momentum of the swing, our lips
stayed locked. I nibbled and gnawed on them, then consumed her mouth. My tongue
darted inside and tangled with hers. Just like the dancer she was, her tongue
whirled gracefully and purposefully with mine. Blood rushed to my cock. She
tasted delicious. So sweet. So good. As I deepened the kiss, her moans mingled
with the sounds of nature. The chirps. The breeze. The rustling leaves. Without
losing contact with her mouth, I stopped pumping my legs and the swing slowed
down. As it came to a near halt, I touched down my feet to the ground and
jumped off with Willow’s legs wrapped around my hips and her hands cupping my
face, still devouring my mouth. We couldn’t get enough of each other.
Briefly, she broke away, her breathing frantic. “Fuck me,
Ryan. Please fuck me.”

Jesus. As much as I wanted her, she wanted me more. She was
begging me. My desperate cock was throbbing. It was time to give her what she
wanted. What I wanted too.

Title: Third Base
Author: Stella
Genre: Sports Romance/Friends-to-lovers
Release Date: November 2, 2017
Blurb
First base: kissing.

Second base: above the waist.

Third base: below the waist.

Home run: no explanation needed.Every baseball player knows to keep their eye on the ball and swing for the
fences. Each base counts, but a home run is the goal. No one wants to strike
out. This is true both on and off the field.

Ellie Teller had been my best friend since we were born, and we had a plan—get
out of the tiny Alabama town we’d grown up in and go to college…together. But
even life’s best-laid plans could throw a powerful curveball. Rather than
attend classes, I was now the starting pitcher for a Major League team.

While my game-day stats were impressive, my record with women was less
desirable. I was the professional baseball player who hadn’t been able to make
it past third base since the one and only night I’d played hardball with my
best friend.

But when the bottom of the ninth came to a close on my career, I had to decide
if our friendship was worth more than a few extra innings.

Best Selling Author Leddy Harper and Stephie Walls met on a

alter ego, Stella was born. After all, when you put two romance authors
together…you’re gonna get something Stella!

 

Leddy Harper
Leddy
Harper had to use her imagination often as a child. She grew up the only girl
in a house full of boys. At the age of fourteen, she decided to use that
imagination and wrote her first book, and never stopped.
She often
calls writing her therapy, using it as a way to deal with issues through the eyes
of her characters.
She is now
a mother of three girls, leaving her husband as the only man in a house full of
females.
The
decision to publish her first book was made as a way of showing her children to
go after whatever it is they want to. Love what you do and do it well. Most
importantly Leddy wanted to teach them what it means to overcome their fears.
Stephie Walls
Stephie

put in front of her. She has an affinity for British Literature and Romance
novels and an overall love of writing. She currently has six novels out, four
short stories, and two collections; all provocatively written to elicit your
imagination and spice up your world.
