The Chase by Vanessa Fewings

Release Date Reveal: Jun 6th, 2017

Genre: Contemporary Romance

 

A rising star in one of London’s top art investigation firms, Zara Leighton’s talent for seeing deep into paintings is in her blood. She’s chosen to help track down Icon, an enigmatic international art thief whose heists are methodical, daring, baffling. To Zara the case is maddening—bordering on an obsession.

She finds distraction in the chiseled form of top-shelf client Tobias Wilder, a magnetic American billionaire who demands her expertise, her discretion—and her secrecy. Wilder doesn’t ask questions. He gives orders. His gaze alone ignites her deepest fantasies. And his touch…

The sudden whirl of exclusive exhibitions and decadent parties that Wilder introduces her to is a potent aphrodisiac. But surrender soon becomes tinged with suspicion. Is Zara’s tryst with Wilder the real thing…or just a convincing forgery?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Outwait, by Lisa Suzanne

OUTWAIT AN.jpg
Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
I have absolutely adored this series, and from the little we’ve gleaned of Carson King from Clickbait (Carter/Courtney’s story) and Stalemate (Axel/Emme’s story), you could just TELL that the womanizer was going to fall HARD when his time comes. And boy, did Carson fall hard!

Carson doesn’t like commitment to anything other than his job. He doesn’t like messy emotions or confrontation. And most of all, Carson doesn’t want the CEO position that he’s expected to assume when his father retires. But that all changes when he meets Sylie Baker, an executive at another technology company King is hoping to acquire and the daughter of that company’s CEO. Suddenly, everything Carson expected his life to be doesn’t feel right, like he’s woken from a slumber.

“Everything that was black and white is suddenly all these vibrant shades of color.”

OUTWAIT TEASER 2.jpg

Lisa Suzanne took everything we’ve seen of Carson in the first two installments of this series and turned it upside down — exactly how Sylvie turns his world on its end when she storms into his boardroom, raging mad. Who knew Carson could be such a gentleman? Who knew that Carson could shuck his flavors-of-the-week because he got stuck on one woman and was willing to wait for her to be single and freely be his?

Meanwhile, Sylvie’s struggle is clear-cut, and the reader goes through the mental anguish with her as she begins to develop feelings for a business associate when she’s about to become engaged to her family’s corporate attorney.

“He’s a magnet and I’m a piece of metal. I’m drawn to him and I have no idea how to fight against it.”

OUTWAIT EBOOK.jpg
Lisa Suzanne did a FABULOUS job of making this relationship a slow, slow burn. And once Sylvie and Carson finally — FINALLY! — got together, I had invested so much in wanting them to be together as a couple, it was (just as Carson felt) worth the wait!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: The History In Us, by L.B. Dunbar

 

THIU-Amazon.jpg

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3 Stars

I wish I liked The History In Us more than I did. I’m a bit torn between rating this 3 or 4 stars. I just didn’t connect and fall in love with Katie and Levi as characters. Usually, I’m a sucker for a good angst-ridden story, but I felt like I was pushing myself to finish, and not necessarily because I needed to read just one more chapter.
HeroWanted.jpg

That said, there are a lot of things that I really loved about the story LB Dunbar tells here. I love that they know each other from their hometown and meet as grown-ups in a graduate class miles and miles away. How a promise Katie made to him when she was just a young girl stayed in his subconscious, without Levi even realizing it, and helped him pull through a life-or-death situation. I love how Levi thinks he’s paying penance for his military actions because of his son’s condition until Katie shows him how much of a blessing little AJ is to his life. Katie and Levi are both broken and dealing with abandonment issues, which gives them a common ground. But where Katie has come to terms with her emotions, Levi is so emotionally stunted to the point where I just wanted to slap some sense into him because he couldn’t get out of his own way when it comes to Katie.

BeMe.jpg

The History In Us is a standalone, even though Levi and Katie are both characters who appeared (as children) in Dunbar’s previous series. But I did not find that not having read those books left holes in this story for me. The storytelling flowed nicely between the alternating POVs, and the use of flashbacks worked seamlessly to add to Levi and Kate’s shared history.

I received an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

New Release: The History In Us, by L.B. Dunbar

 

 

Cover Design: Shanoff Formats

 

Release Date: June 2, 2017

 

 

Synopsis

 

Are you a hero yet?

Her words rang in my head.

I wanted to be.

For you, I want to be, I told her in my dream, the dream where she kissed me again.

 

A hero-worthy kiss.

 

Stay safe, she had said. Come back to me.

My lips tingled.

The brush of hers over mine a memory held in the blackest of night,

the hottest of desert days,

and the cold-evil hell of war against hidden enemies.

 

I wanted another chance to taste those lips,

melt them against mine,

and mold her body to me.

I wanted to live.

For Katie.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Tank, by Laramie Briscoe

18623259_1450757968315118_3572573769277115560_o.jpg

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Laramie Briscoe puts out another heartfelt read with Tank! And I really enjoyed the maturity between the main characters in this second-chance romance as they dealt with their issues and came to a resolution.

Tank is the story of Trevor, Whitney’s brother from Renegade, and the story begins with the car crash in Renegade that nearly killed Trevor. Tank’s ex-girlfriend, Blaze, is one of the medics who responds to the call, and as Trevor fights for his life, she is forced to come to terms with how much she loves him and whether she’s willing to fight to salvage their relationship.

When Blaze moves in with Tank to help him with his recovery, the pair must face their demons, and honestly answer some tough questions about their relationship and the reasons behind their split. It was refreshing to see how Blaze and Tank handle the situation like mature adults, and really take to heart just how delicate life can be and to not take things for granted.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: My Best Friend’s Ex, by Meghan Quinn

SBPRBanner-MyBestFriendsEX-BT.jpg

 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I cannot believe that I didn’t immediately realize that Tucker was Sadie’s ex from Co-Wrecker! That book was one of the best and funniest that I’ve read all year. I fell hard for Sadie and Andrew, but felt kinda bad for her ex, since Tucker clearly was having problems moving on. He came off as a bit desperate in Co-wrecker and unwilling to face the fact that Sadie met someone else.

Which brings us to My Best Friend’s Ex, set about a year after Co-Wrecker. Tucker is still hung up on Sadie, heartbroken over the end of their relationship. While drowning his sorrows at the local bar one night, he runs into one of Sadie’s best friends, Emma (who we also met in Co-wrecker). She is about to be evicted, lonely Tucker lives all by himself in the house he bought for Sadie, and before you can say “girl code,” Sadie’s got herself a place to live. And then the fun begins!

MBEteaser.jpg

WOW! Meghan Quinn outdid herself with Tucker’s story. He is so lonely and heartbroken and stuck in the past, and Quinn beautifully describes that brokenness. There is a true ease to Tucker and Emma’s friendship, and the way Quinn writes it, the reader is right there as they fall for each other despite their best efforts in a very organic way. One of my biggest pet peeves is when I’m TOLD such is true. I want to READ it, experience it along with the characters. And the reader gets to go on every step of the journey with Tucker and Emma in My Best Friend’s Ex.. I FELT all of Emma’s fears and insecurities right along with her when it came to how Tucker was with Sadie, and if she was nothing more than a distraction for him. And I loved how Tucker slowly comes back to life with Emma as his roommate, without even realizing that he’s developing feelings for her.

My Best Friend’s Ex was absolute perfection!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Remember, by Dylan Allen

Remember_Amazon_iBooks.jpg

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Remember is so much more than a second-chance romance. After her marriage implodes, Milly is forced to reevaluate who she is, where she came from, and where she wants to go. As she sets out to chart a new course for herself, she crosses paths with her high school love, Dean. The man she never got over. And he never got over her. And while Dean’s reasons for orchestrating their reunion weren’t with the best of intentions, the couple ultimately overcome lots of obstacles in this emotional story to be together, including facing the demons of not only their own pasts, but those of their parents.

 

rememberteaser6.jpg

This book is the second in a series, and while it is a standalone, there were a few plot holes that I think could have been plugged up better for a reader like me who did not read the first book, Rise (which is the story of Milly’s sister, Addie, and apparently lays out the foundation to their father’s disappearance). I also felt that certain elements towards the end of the story felt rushed just to get to the HEA, but overall, Remember was a solid story that kept me entertained not only in terms of enjoying how Dean helps Milly “remember” who she was and explore her sexual awakening, but with the mystery surrounding her father’s vanishing act as well.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Mr. Fiancé, by Lauren Landish

55e44e617bc9e865b718e46c9102113212df28c3.jpg

 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

I absolutely adored Mindy as Bri’s best friend in Anaconda. She was so sassy and full of spunk, so I was thrilled to hear that Lauren Landish was giving Mindy her own story.

Generally, the fake relationship trope is not a favorite of mine. Too often, the main characters falling for each other feels forced to me, and by the time they get to The Conflict that makes them realize their feelings for one another are genuine, I don’t feel emotionally invested. But that was not the case with Mr. Fiancé. Yes, this follows the basic formula of a fake relationship pact, but Landish did a great job in showing (as opposed to telling!) the reader how Oliver and Mindy were starting to fall for one another. There are a lot of little moments between the characters that sealed the deal for me, so by the time The Conflict arose and Mindy discovered Oliver’s reasons for agreeing to be her fiancé for a week, I was totally rooting for this couple to just get it together!

Oliver handled the argument in a mature way, and how he goes about wooing Mindy for real was so on point! Mr. Fiancé also had enough of the characters’ friendships with Brie and Gavin (from Anaconda) sprinkled in throughout the storyline that gives the reader an update on that couple without taking away from the story of Mindy and Oliver themselves.

Now, can we please get Roxy and Anthony paired up next???
