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: Michael, by Karla Sorensen

Title: Michael
A Bachelors of the Ridge Series Standalone
Author: Karla Sorensen
Genre: New Adult Romance
 Release Date: July 26, 2017

 

Blurb
Brooke Rossi knows
how stay in control.
After all, finding herself a single mother to twins after her ‘allergic
to responsibility’ ex-boyfriend left town
has kinda set the bar for whatever might come her way. Except
the day-to-day realities of single motherhood has her juggling in a
way that she couldn’t anticipate, which is why she’s one sleepless night away
from a padded cell. 
Her unexpected help comes in the form of Michael
Whitfield, unrepentant flirt and alleged manwhore. Michael isn’t
allergic to responsibility, but he does have a healthy aversion
to commitment, until his relationship with Brooke. Their friendship is
easy, until it’s not. They learn to walk a tight rope of restraint,
choosing not to act on their attraction out of respect for the friendship
they’ve built. 
One scorching, clothes-free visit past the boundaries they put in
place, and Brooke finds herself facing the most uncontrollable situation of
all: risking her heart to a man who’s never had to take care of
one before. 

 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Before Karla Sorensen even announced that Julia’s sister, Brooke, would be the heroine in Michael’s book, I just *knew* she would be when I was reading the previous book in this series, Cole. The chemistry between incessant flirt Michael and gazillion-months-pregnant Brooke in that book was off the charts.

So that brings us to Michael. It’s set about a year after Cole and Julia’s story. Brooke is a single mom raising her almost-1-year-old twins alone, and Michael is still an undeniable flirt… whom everyone assumes is also an undeniable manwhore. But looks can be deceiving.

Having been raised by a single mom himself, Michael seems to have a soft spot for Brooke, and an unlikely friendship grows between them after he first helps her out of a babysitter jam, then begins construction on her in-home salon. So she can be closer to her kids, of course. Before either of them know it, their friendship has turned into stolen glances and heated thoughts of the other. But then one night, all bets are off — and so are their shirts, as Brooke and Michael overstep one of their friendship boundaries. And what happens when

The drama that happens between Michael and Brooke felt so genuine, so real. They are both such strong personalities, and together they are even stronger. They really bring out the best in one another, and Michael is so patient and understanding of her life as a single mom. And he adores her kids. That comes across so clearly on the pages. But they are both a little hard-headed, and neither one of them is willing to completely ‘fess up about what they are really feeling. Michael has never wanted to step up to the plate for a woman before he met Brooke, and the pain and agony he feels when Brooke doesn’t believe him is palpable.

Karla does a great job of really getting to the heart and soul of these characters. The evolution of their friends-to-lovers romance was organic, and I fell in love with Brooke and Michael as they were falling in love with one another. I can’t wait to see what Karla has in store for Michael’s brother, Tristan, next! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Excerpt
“Michael,” I said dumbly, like a big dumb idiot. “Wh-what
are you doing here?”
Michael Whitfield was the kind of handsome that made me
twitchy. It was easier to ignore when I’d been a whale of a pregnant person and
he oh-so-kindly informed me that I held no appeal whatsoever to him because I
was on the verge of single motherhood. Okay, fine, that wasn’t exactly what he
said, but he’d been pretty clear that our relationship was platonic.
He smiled down at me, all straight blinding teeth and dark,
scruffy face, the white t-shirt he wore underneath a dark gray hoodie stretched
across his leanly muscular chest in a way that made me feel a little sweaty.
“I’m the cavalry.”
“You are not.”
His eyebrows lifted at my snappish response, but no, no,
nope, all the no in all the world. “I was with Julia when she got your text and
they already had plans.”
I shifted Jacob in my arms and he peered around me at the
tall, handsome man currently annoying his mommy. Well, he wasn’t annoying me,
exactly. But I was annoyed in general and now Michael got to be my scapegoat.
Yay for him. “Why didn’t she tell me that?”
Piper waddled over and gripped her chubby hands into
Michael’s dark jeans. I was just about to apologize when he leaned over and
picked her up with the kind of ease that had me speechless.

Effing speechless.

Me.

Coming Soon: Toying With Her, by Prescott Lane

TWH-TEASER1 (1).jpg

 

Toying with Her, an all-new standalone from Prescott Lane is coming August 17th!!!

No one said finding love was easy, but when you invented the world’s best selling vibrator, it’s near impossible.  Yep, that’s right.  That little toy hidden in your bedside table is my brain child.  It’s aptly named Woman on Top.  And you know what they say . . . it’s lonely at the top.

So I’m headed home to my Southern roots.  It’s supposed to be an extended Summer vacation — nothing more.  But Rorke Weston has other plans for me.  Plans that not only involve me being on top, but also underneath him.

It’s been said you never forget your first.  For me, that’s definitely true.  No night has ever lived up to the one I spent with Rorke.

He’s turned into quite a man.  Tan from the Southern sun, and stubborn as the day is long.  And there’s nothing sweeter than the swipe of his tongue.

Rorke wants his chance.  The one we never had.  But that was a long time ago.  When I still believed in Prince Charming and Happily Ever Afters.  Even ten years later, I feel a pull.  And it’s not simply Rorke yanking down my panties.

Do second chances really happen?  Or is my heart simply toying with me?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Unconventional, by Isabel Love

20108395_10155042235419022_3197678521211177606_n.jpg

Title: Unconventional
Author: Isabel Love
Genre: Erotic Romance
Release Date: July 20, 2017

BLURB

Happily ever after—what a joke! I tried that once and ended up divorced.
Now, I only want one thing from men.
Charlie Nelson is good at giving me that one thing. Really, really good.

So good, in fact, I discovered a new side of myself.
I never knew I liked to watch until I saw his talented hands touching someone else.
I never knew I liked to be watched until I felt his searing gaze on me.

Maybe happily ever after isn’t always a white picket fence, wedding bells, and 2.5 kids.
Maybe it’s something a bit more…unconventional.

*Warning: Contains dirty talk, piercings and hot threesomes.
Intended for readers over 18 years of age.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Smoking Stars

HOT DAMN!

I had the pleasure of reading Isabel’s debut novel, Untouchable, and loved the sweet story between Max and Monica. So when Isabel said that Unconventional would be waaaay hotter, I figured, okay, why not. And boy did she deliver!

Unconventional is the story of Quinn and Charlie, two characters that we met in Untouchable: Max and Monica’s best friends. It is a complete standalone, and even though I previously read Untouchable and there are some story continuations in Unconventional from that book, I did not find that there were holes in the story as a result.

Quinn is an painter, and Charlie a photographer, so they not only connect as artist, but they both love sex. Like, a lot. As Quinn and Charlie spend more time together exploring their sexual appetites, little by little, their friends-with-benefits relationship begins to transform into a bona fide romantic relationship. And that kind of freaks out both of these commitmentphobes.

What I really liked about Unconventional is that there was so much more to the story than the sexcapeds. Isabel Love did a great job of showing a vulnerable side to Charlie that he’s never let anyone see before Quinn. And the problems both of them have with their parents was so wonderfully described and shown to the reader, it added another layer to the developing relationship — and went a long way in terms of me investing in them as a real couple.

I did not expect the twist in the story that leads to The Conflict between Charlie and Quinn, but it fits in so perfectly with who these two people are and their greatest fears. By the time their HEA came about — as unconventional as their relationship is — I was wiping tears from my eyes.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Eye Candy, by Jessica Lemmon

 

19437310_10212680526359275_1761922292719740007_n.jpg

Jacqueline: As an adult woman–and the vice president of a marketing firm–I shouldn’t be waiting by my office window to ogle the mystery man who jogs by every morning at 11:45. Sure, he’s a gorgeous, perfect specimen of the human race, but I can’t bring myself to hit on a total stranger. However, my best friend-slash-colleague Vince Carson thinks I should do more than talk to the guy. In fact, he’s borderline obsessive about “getting me laid.” (His words.) But the more time we spend together, the more it’s clear: The one I’m falling for is Vince.

Vince: Jackie Butler’s got it bad for some pompous, over-pumped A-hole who struts his stuff past her window. That doesn’t bother me. I know she deserves nice things. What does bother me is that she friend-zoned me big-time last year, so I can’t ask her out myself. But what if I set her up with Mr. Steroids? Then, when he breaks her heart, I can swoop in and save her like the nice guy I am. Everything’s going according to plan . . . until we share a ridiculously epic kiss. And suddenly anything is possible.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3 Stars

Today was a chilly, rainy summer day, and Eye Candy was the perfect book to pass the time. The story isn’t too deep, doesn’t have much angst between the two characters, and is a good story in the friends-to-lovers trope. Jackie and Vince both share the title of VP at their marketing firm, and grew closer as she (a divorcee) helped him get through his own divorce. Three years after the end of her marriage, Jackie is still set on not dating again. But Vince is starting to notice his best bud as more than just a friend, and wants to get out of the Friend Zone. So Vince hopes that giving Jackie “dating lessons” so she can get over her hump and ask out the hot runner she’s been ogling from her office window will also open the door for him to make his own move.

It’s a familiar plot, and while Jessica Lemmon does a fine job with it, there wasn’t anything that stood out between Jackie and Vince that made me absolutely love this book. It was good enough; I just didn’t love it. I felt that two mature adults, both of whom have been married before, should have been past the point of playing that “should I tell her/him that I have real feelings or not” game.

Overall, Eye Candy was a decent read. It’s a pretty fluffy story that doesn’t make you think too hard about the characters and their relationship, and there is a satisfying HEA. I received an advanced copy courtesy of Loveswept and Random House Publishers and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Hard Rock Deceit, by Athena Wright

 

 

19756823_1789444931385734_255866095568467432_n.jpg

He’s a brilliant artist. A rock star god.
He challenges me. Excites me.
He makes me quiver. Makes me swoon.
He makes me feel things I’ve never dreamed of.
But we’re both dedicated to our art. We’ll do whatever it takes to succeed.
When I find out just how far he’ll go, it threatens to tear our world apart.

— — —

Hard Rock Deceit is a New Adult Rock Star Romance. It is the fourth novel in the Darkest Days series, but can be read as a standalone with a HEA.

A note from the author: This book is complete and utter fangirl wish fulfillment. It is not realistic in the slightest. Then again, who reads rock star romances for realism, anyway? 😉

20017582_1793804970949730_7178777264858666726_o.jpg

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Rocking Stars

Hard Rock Deceit is the fourth book in Athena Wright’s Darkest Days series, and it’s just as fabulous as the three that came before it. This story centers on the band’s drummer and leader, August — a perfectionist who expects everyone around him to bring their A game, always. August meets recent college graduate Cassie, a photographer, and hires her to join Darkest Days on their upcoming tour.

As they spend time together while August teaches Cassie how to tap into her passion and have that come across more in her photographs, the two begin to fall for one another. August pushes Cassie to step outside of her comfort zone, and for the first time in her dating life, Cassie begins to feel something intense for a man as August stirs up emotions and feelings in her that she’s never experienced before.

But August is hiding a major secret from his bandmates, and the depths of Mr. Perfect’s lies and deceit could ruin not only his own life, but the livelihood of his friends as well.

As with her other rockstar romances, Athena writes a sexy celebrity hero, and a relatable, ordinary heroine. The exchanges between August and Cassie are sweet and tender when they are supposed to be, and sexually charged when they’re supposed to be. August is so used to being the doer, the organizer, the leader, and when his life starts spiraling out of control, he can’t handle it. When he finally, finally, breaks down and seeks out Cassie for help, it’s a turning point for their relationship. One of my big pet peeves is when a reader is TOLD something happens, rather than shown so through the storytelling. Athena always does a great job in taking the reader along as her characters fall in love and shows them on their journey.

My only complaint is that how August knew about Cassie wasn’t explained well enough. He’s been following her — okay, how did he hear about her in the first place if she’s fresh out of college? I thought that needed a more thorough explanation to make August seem less stalker-y.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: #MomFail Anthology

Cover Design: MadHat Books

Release Date: July 25, 2017

Synopsis

Everyone just stop for one bleeping minute so we can all get real with each other. Being a mom is some tough $#!†. You’re constantly wearing questionable substances that make you ask, “is this chocolate or … oh, crap …” and your purse is merely a receptacle for three-week-old snacks and broken crayons.

Let’s be honest … even when we’re doing this “mom” thing right, we’re somehow doing it completely wrong.

Pardon us while we dust off our collective Mother of the Year trophy and proudly present you with an epic anthology of #MOMFAILS.

*Stories inspired by real life (unless you’re a cop, then it’s all complete fiction). Names and situations have been changed to protect the guilty (and by guilty, we mean the moms). Because motherhood is a battlefield and we’re all just trying to survive by any means necessary.

Featuring this amazing lineup: Alissa York, A.M. Willard, BL Berry, Carina Adams, Claudia Burgoa, Crystal Burnette, Dylan Allen, Faith Andrews, Gia Riley, J.A. DeRouen, Kate Anslinger, Leddy Harper, LK Collins, LL Collins, Marie James, Piper Rayne, Riann C. Miller, Shari J. Ryan, Stephanie Rose, Stephie Walls, SM West, TL Swan, Teresa Michaels, and foreword written by: Nicole Kane Knepper.

Teaser Tuesday: Twisted Twosome, by Meghan Quinn, is Coming Soon!

Check out the amazing teaser for TWISTED TWOSOME by Meghan Quinn!

TWISTED TWOSOME
NA Romantic Comedy

Add to Goodreads: http://bit.ly/2uarCWF

Racer McKay is a broody bastard.
From the moment I met him, he’s been rude, irritable, and unbearable. 
A contractor working to remodel my parents pool house for extra cash, he stomps around in those clunky construction boots with his tool belt wrapped around his narrow waist, and a chip on his shoulder.
Racer McKay is also infuriatingly . . . sexy as hell. I want to take that pencil tucked behind his ear, and draw lazy lines slowly up and down his body all the while wanting to strangle him at the same time.
We try to stay out of each other’s way . . . that is until I have no other option but to ask for his help.
But what I don’t realize is he needs me just as much as I need him. I have money he’s desperate for, and he holds the key to making my dreams come true.
Our pranks turn from sarcastic banter, to sexual tension and lust-filled glances. Bickering matches quickly morph into slow burn moments. We’re hot, we’re cold. We push and pull. I need him, I don’t want him. We’re on the verge of combusting with an agreement dangling dangerously between us. Neither one of us can afford to lose one another and yet, we’re finding it quite hard to decipher the line that rests between love and hate.
*Twisted Twosome is a stand alone romantic comedy.


About the Author:
Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.
Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.
Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!
