I Do(n’t) by Leddy Harper

Release Blitz

August 10, 2017

Blurb:

I fell in love with Holden York when I was six years old.

Most of my youth came with spiral notebooks filled with doodles, wedding plans, and “Janelle York” looped in bubbly handwriting.

However, one night in Vegas changed everything.

I woke up to more than just a fantasy of my brother’s best friend.

Five years later, I’m standing on his doorstep confronting him about the secret he kept from me.

If you think this is the story of how we rode off into the sunset together…

You’re so wrong.

But if you think this is the story of how Holden blackmailed me into living with him…

You couldn’t be more right.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

As soon as I read the blurb for I Do(n’t), I was sucked in. I love the brother’s best friend trope, and this cover is amazeballs. The two other Leddy Harper books I read — Silenced and Dane — took me on major rollercoaster rides, and I couldn’t wait to see what was in store with I Do(n’t).

I feel like I was reading something by a different author. And I mean that with the highest of compliments. The Leddy Harper I know of writes gut-wrenching, emotional stories full of angst. While I Do(n’t) definitely had some angst, it takes a much lighter tone than the previous books of hers that I’m familiar with. And I think that is a major testament to Leddy’s creative writing skills.

At first, I thought Holden’s excuses as to why he neglected to tell Janelle that they had gotten married were BS. But knowing that they would play a part in the bigger picture of this couple’s love affair, you have to suspend belief and just go with it. I so wanted this couple to get their crap together and get on the same page!

My one complaint is that when Janelle finally goes to Holden and they move away from being just roommates and more towards rekindling whatever it was between then all those years ago, he didn’t question her reasons why. I mean, at all. Never asked what changed her mind, etc. And after all of their discussions about the night that she couldn’t remember, and everything else under the sun, I was surprised that he was just all, “okay, then! Come on into my bed!” without any sort of discussion after the fact.

I loved Holden’s “oh crap” moment when he finally realized how their entire relationship must have looked through Janelle’s eyes. He really needed to grovel to win her back, and when he finally confessed everything to her, it left me with a tear in my eye.

This story hooked me from the get-go. The characters are engaging, their history ran deep, and the drama surrounding her family — and how Holden had been there when she was not — cemented it all together for me. I Do(n’t) was a fantastic read! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

afterourkiss print cover1

After Our Kiss
by Nora Flite

Publication Date: August 29th, 2017
Genre: Contemporary Romance

 

I was thirteen when I was kidnapped.

Fourteen when he helped me escape.

Twenty-three before I ever saw him again.

His face is all over the news: he’s a wanted man, now. Maybe my memory played tricks on me… but he looks so different. The boy who saved me years ago had a shy smile and dark, soulful eyes full of secrets.

This man has a hard jaw and a harder mouth. Lips that could never whisper sweet promises.

I knew him as a hero—my savior. I refuse to believe he could become a villain.

Not him.

Then he abducts me, proving me wrong.

He tells me he’s going to take me apart and put me back together again. Make me what he needs me to be: a plaything for a monster.

It’s the fate I escaped when I was fourteen. And that’s when I finally understand.

He was never my hero.

He’s the man who’s going to break me.

by Melanie Harlow

It was like seeing a ghost.

When my late husband’s twin brother moves back to our small town, I want to avoid him. Everything about Wes reminds me of the man I lost and the life we’d planned together, and after eighteen long months struggling just to get out of bed, I’m finally doing okay. I have a new job, an amazing support group, and a beautiful five-year-old daughter to parent. I don’t want to go backward.

But I’m drawn to him, too. He understands my grief and anger and loneliness like no one else—and I understand his. Before long, that understanding becomes desire, and that desire becomes uncontrollable.

We make excuses. We blame our sorrow. We promise each other it will never happen again.

But it does.

And when our secret threatens to destroy his family and my reputation, we’ll have to decide what’s more important—loyalty or love?

About the Author:

 

Kandi Steiner is a bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing “emotional rollercoaster” stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance — in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you’re a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she’s your gal.

An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women’s Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.” She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.

When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, talking with her extremely vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys live music, traveling, anything heavy in carbs, beach days, movie marathons, craft beer and sweet wine — not necessarily in that order.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: This Is Why, by Abby Brooks

content_This_Is_Why.jpg

A little more than six years ago my life changed forever when I met Tyler Reed. He’s one-hundred percent Marine and one-hundred-ten percent man. From his broad chest and strong back, to his infectious smile and panty soaking charm, he is the man who invaded my heart and consumes my fantasies to this day.

He is the love of my life, or, I think he could have been if he hadn’t disappeared. Instead, I was left with the memories of our magical day of cosmic attraction and our night of unforgettable passion. Well, that and an exuberant six-year-old boy who I imagine is just like his dad.

Life since has settled into a rhythm, not perfect, but comfortable in its predictability. I can see the path in front of us, and have planned the foreseeable future down to the smallest detail.

But life has a funny way of throwing a wrench into those perfect plans, doesn’t it?

After catching a glimpse of Ty at my best friend’s wedding reception, I find myself wondering if he is capable of completely rewriting what I think I know about happiness.

The problem? I’m not sure how he’s going to take the news that he’s a father.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

This Is Why has absolutely everything I want to read in a second-chance romance. An amazing connection between the couple, a misunderstanding that kept them apart, and hard work at putting their relationship together, rather than an instant “everything is hunky-dory” relationship.

Seven years after Lexi and Ty spend one day and night together in Key West, they meet again at Bailey’s wedding reception. Lexi knew they were from the same town, but didn’t try *that* hard to track down the Marine after he ditched her in the middle of the night and she found herself pregnant. She never found the note he left her that he’d been called to duty immediately. But because this couple is absolutely meant to be together, fate has given them another push — but Lexi is at first too stubborn to accept it.

Little by little, Lexi lets Ty in, knowing that he deserves to get to know their son, Gabe. Ty’s never stopped thinking about Lexi and the connection he felt with her all those years ago, and he’s determined to prove to her that he can be a man she and her son can depend on. Because this is a military romance of sorts, Ty’s job as a Marine captain causes some drama and heartache for both of them.

What I loved about This Is Why is how relatable both characters are. Abby Brooks does a FANTASTIC job of taking the reader on their journey as they determine where they fit in one another’s lives, how to share the truth with Gabe, and the agony that they all go through before finding their HEA as a family.

I have loved every book in the Brookside series, and I will definitely keep This Is Why on my re-read list. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Teaser: Hollywood Scandal, by Louise Bay, is Coming Soon!

August 9th.jpg

 

Hollywood Scandal, an all-new contemporary romance by Louise Bay is coming August 22nd!!

HE’S A HOLLYWOOD SUPERSTAR. SHE’S LITERALLY THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

One of Hollywood’s A-listers, I have the movie industry in the palm of my hand. But if I’m going to stay at the top, my playboy image needs an overhaul. No more tabloid headlines. No more parties. And absolutely no more one night stands.

Filming for my latest blockbuster takes place on the coast of Maine and I’m determined to stay out of trouble. But trouble finds me when I run into Lana Kelly.

She doesn’t recognize me, she’s never heard of Matt Easton and my million dollar smile doesn’t work on her.

Ego shredded, I know I should keep my distance, but when I realize she’s my neighbor I know I’m toast. There’s no way I can resist temptation when it’s ten yards away.

She has a mouth designed for pleasure and legs that will wrap perfectly around my waist.

She’s movie star beautiful and her body is made to be mine.

Getting Lana Kelly into my bed is harder than I’m used to. She’s not interested in the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, but I’m determined to convince her the best place in the world is on the red carpet, holding my hand.

I could have any woman in the world, but all I want is the girl next door.

A sexy, standalone romance.

Cover Reveal: Hooked, by Karla Sorensen and Whitney Barbetti

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.

Karla Sorensen
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.
