Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Come Back To Me is an epically emotional rollercoaster. Adriana has experienced so much loss in her life, and she is drowning in the guilt of not being able to save her parents, her sister, her grandmother. But the biggest loss of all was the sudden, tragic death of her husband, Blake, whose death she’s still mourning. Except that he didn’t die. Four years later, the universe — fate — brings Blake and Adriana face to face again. Will she be able to forgive his betrayal? Can he convince her to come back to him?

This book is not a light read. It’s emotionally draining at some points, and deals with some sensitive subjects like addiction. The awful, heartbreaking decision that Blake was forced to make was done out of love and sacrifice. And I really appreciated that Coopmans doesn’t have them jumping back into where their marriage left off, because the consequences of his actions changed both of them immensely.

There were a few moments where the lines blurred between past recollections and current thoughts/conversations. But overall, Come Back To Me is a haunting tale of love, loss, sacrifice and the miracle of getting a second chance with the love of your life.

Taming Mr. Flirt is Coming Soon!

TMF-Teaser2.jpg

 

Taming Mr. Flirt, a sexy all-new standalone from A.M. Madden & Joanne Schwehm is coming September 12th!

 

Here’s a tip: never say never.

 

It all started in a barn, rolling around in the hay with a hot brunette. When I hooked up at my best friend’s wedding with the bride’s best friend, I had hay in places it should never be. And how my bowtie ended up around my dick was an entirely different story. I’ll give you a minute to consider the possibilities.

 

That first romp set the tone, and each sexual encounter with her that followed became more intense. The fact that all my fantastic orgasms were coming at the hand of one woman baffled me.

 

A lifetime of observation taught me that monogamy equated to boredom. Variety was the spice of life, in and out of the bedroom. I enjoyed the company of a sexy, smart, confident woman. It was my kryptonite. I was a master flirt, and my sexual skills were unrivaled.

 

Until her.

With this woman, I had met my match.

 

Her carnal appetite a perfect match for mine, and she also taught me a few things along the way.

 

She called me Mr. Flirt, and could bring me to my knees at every turn.

 

Lesson learned: Sex always trumps sanity.

image1.JPG

Because of Him an all-new romance by Terri E. Laine is coming September 7th!

Past and present intertwine with light and dark to tell a story …Because of Him

Something inside me fiercely craves normal.

Sheltered all my life and taught to be afraid, I want to be bold, fearless.

Up until now I’ve kept myself and my heart safe.

Tade Astor, a guy so hot he steals my breath away, jeopardizes it all.

He isn’t the kind of guy to give up on what he wants—me.

He’s determined to prove my safe world is missing something—him.

Even though he may not be the cocky guy I assumed him to be…

He’s definitely not the guy I should give my heart to.

But each time I see him, he becomes harder to resist.

I want to be brave and give him a chance… though it might come back to haunt me.

At the heart of Because of Him is a love story. But due to certain sensitive topics, it might not be suitable for all readers.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Hot Single Dad, by Claire Kingsley

20292575_460882430948660_1431935516441018544_n.jpg

Blurb:

Reasons I need to stop fantasizing about Linnea:

1. She’s too young for me.

2. She’s my daughter’s nanny.

I could stop there, couldn’t I? I’m already a cliché. The single dad who’s hot for the nanny. But it gets worse.

3. She’s my sister-in-law.

My wife died when our daughter was a baby, and Linnea was just a quiet teenager. I barely knew her. When my in-laws insist she move to Seattle to be my live-in nanny—after a string of caregivers who didn’t work out—I reluctantly agree.

I wasn’t counting on the smoking hot blonde with sinful curves, kissable lips, and shy smile.

Linnea is perfect for my daughter—fun, patient, and kind. She might be perfect for me too, but I can’t think that way. She needs to live her own life, not be saddled with my insta-family.

Being around her is a special kind of torture, but I have to keep this infatuation to myself. I can’t fall for my daughter’s nanny.

But it might be too late.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Claire Kingsley has done it again! I couldn’t wait to read this book cover to cover, but at the same time I didn’t want it to end because I have loved spending time with the Lawson family!

We first met Caleb in Book Boyfriend and Cocky Roommate — the hot, widowed surgeon struggling to raise his young daughter, Charlotte, with the demands of being an ER doctor. I often wondered, what was Caleb’s life like? Was he still hung up on his late wife? Did he not date because of his young daughter? Kingsley answers all of those questions in the very best way in Hot Single Dad as she tells the story of Caleb and his new nanny Linnea — who just so happens to be the younger sister of his late wife! Yes! Forbidden romance on top of the nanny/single dad trope!

Kingsley has Caleb and Linnea walk the perfect line between feeling sparks and not acting on them, so that the reader gets so invested in the characters that the build-up to their eventual first kiss was so worth the wait. Like with the rest of Kingsley’s characters (not just in this series, but in all of her books), Caleb and Linnea are real, relatable, likable and the struggles in their lives are commonplace to most ordinary folks. Then there’s the supporting players. The big old group of Lawsons. Can they adopt me?

The tight-knit Lawson bunch are such a big part of each other’s lives, as anyone who has read BB and CR know. So when they all gang up on poor Caleb in Chapter 7 — oh my goodness! Those were some of the funniest things I’ve ever read!! And I really liked how Weston — sweet, asshole Weston — was the one who ultimately convinced Caleb to get over his damn self and make a move before it’s too late.

Because Kingsley always knocks it out of the park with her epilogues, it’s no surprise that Caleb and Linnea get a HEA. But I absolutely adored the two-fer in her HEA. I read it with a tear in my eye. Amazing, Claire. Amazing. I wish there were more Lawson siblings because I didn’t want this series to end.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

New Release! Hooked, by Karla Sorensen and Whitney Barbetti

 

RB Banner.jpg
Hooked Ebook Cover.jpg
Title: Hooked
Authors: Karla Sorensen & Whitney Barbetti
Genre: Dark Romantic Comedy
Release Date: August 23, 2017

 

Blurb
X and I were probably doomed from the start.That’s what happens when you meet in court-mandated group therapy and then try
to steal from him to pay off your blackmailing drug dealer. Former drug
dealer, thank you very much. I’m turning over a new leaf and all that.

Which is why I should leave him alone.

Except he tempts me to do things I swore I’d stop doing. It’s that whole gruff,
grumbly, anti-social thing he has going on. Him, flame. Me, moth. Something
about him calls to me, makes the blood hum in my body. And I don’t want that
feeling to end.
Lucy Connors is straight-up insane.

She looks like a Disney princess and tries my patience in more ways than I
thought possible. Besides the fact that I have to save her cute little ass from
jail, I can’t quite figure out how to leave her alone. Even when she’s trying
her hand at Breaking and Entering. Especially when it’s myhouse
she’s burglarizing.

Yeah, we were probably doomed from the start.

But that’s the thing about being hooked on something so good, and so bad for
you—you don’t walk away when you should.

 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I don’t think I’ve read a book with two mismatched characters more than X and Lucy. But they are just so hilarious together, I devoured this story in a single day.

Hooked Teaser 2.jpg

Everyone has their issues, and X has more than most. I love a good damaged hero, and X had it going on in spades. Reformed drug dealer Lucy is a hot, hot mess, and when X gets dragged into the shit-show that is her life, he is so far out of his comfort zone! I felt a teensy bit badly for X, but the escapades and criminal activity that these two embark on was just too hilarious to feel THAT badly for X.

Lucy and X are such beautifully flawed characters, but bring out the best in one another in such a pure way that I immediately fell in love with them both. For as much as she shakes up his organized, structured life, he grounds her in a way that she so desperately needs and has never had. (And therein lies my one complaint about this book: I wish the authors would have fleshed-out Lucy’s backstory more, because I felt like knowing more about her lack of family and why she had the upbringing she did would have provided a better insight to her current predicaments and behaviors.)

Hooked Teaser 4.jpg

Hooked is a darker romance than the other books I’ve read by Sorenson (her Bachelors Of The Ridge Series), and had a lighter feel than the Barbetti books I’ve read. There are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments in Hooked, so I’d still consider this a romcom.

Well, let’s see … I’m a wife and a mother. I’m a writer who wants to make people smile when they read my words. I own a dog that sheds roughly eighteen pounds of hair every day. I am obsessed with Outlander (both the books and the show). I’m almost exclusively a romance reader, which means some people will never consider me a literary snob. If I could meet one historical figure, it would be Jane Austen. I received my Bachelors in Public Relations and worked in health care marketing before I had my babies. I hate Twitter. I do it, but I hate it. Also, if you want to get on my good side, bring me wine and I’ll love you forever.

I am a wife
to one and a mom to two humans and one cat. I have a deep and abiding love for
nachos – especially the kind with the liquid cheese, like from Taco Bell
(sorry). I run on less than four hours of sleep thanks to copious amounts of
Diet Coke. (Note: this paragraph is not sponsored by anyone except my hungry
stomach.) 
As a Navy
brat, I grew up all over the country, from California and up the east coast
from Florida to New England and Colorado. I currently live in Idaho, where we
have lots of potatoes and windmills. 
I write
character-driven contemporary romance novels, heavy on the emotional
connection. I LOVE love. I love writing about broken characters who find their
soul mates.

New Release: The Dating Bender, by Christina Julian

Title: The Dating Bender
Author: Christina Julian
Genre: Chick Lit/Romantic Comedy
Release Date: August 22, 2017

Blurb

Here I am, on my
knees in front of the Trevi Fountain, hoping like hell the legend is true. That
the fountain gives you solace and love by a mere toss of a coin.
Why am I here,
exactly? Let’s see…
It started with my
parents telling me to get married. Of course, being the good Catholic girl I
am, I did.
Needless to say,
that marriage nosedived, and my parents weren’t exactly happy about it.
Newly ditched and
shamefully disowned, I decided to follow the advice of Babs, a
tart-of-a-mentor, who offered me a job in Colorado.
Her advice? Sex…and
lots of it.
The temptation of
freedom, to do whatever—whoever—I wanted was too damn strong for me to say no.
And that’s how it
all started. The men, the sex, the journey…
The dating bender.
Because everybody
deserves a do-over.
