BLURB

I know what it’s like to have your heart split down the middle. 
One-half chases her. The other half chases after the lies, deceit, and betrayal. 
It’s a burning ball of hell. 
Seconds, minutes, hours, and years all spent endured the depth of my own burning inferno. 
All of it runs together while life passes me by.
Thirteen years ago, the woman I was in love with left me standing at the altar. 
Hurt. 
Broken. 
Humiliated. 
Some say thirteen is a lucky number. 
Me? I curse the number.
Now she’s back. 
Reminding me.
Torturing me.
She says things are not what they seem.
That they weren’t then either.
Do I believe her?
Do I forgive? 
Forget? 
Time and truth will tell.

Excerpt

My insides
shake as she walks out with a warm breeze only to be replaced by the freezing
chills and the ice cold stare of Jude. He shuts the door behind him, stands
firmly in place and stares me down.
“That
intimidating look may work well on the criminals you pick
up; I assure you,
Jude,
it will not work on me. Now, what can I help you with?” Yes, I know that Tyson and his friends are
cops. I know everything there is to know about him. He left as planned for the
Army shortly after I left him. He’s a womanizer. Sleeps around, drinks and gets
into fights. He’s angry, bitter and out of control and it all reflects back on
me. I’ve studied the
symptoms of a broken
person. I’m one myself.
I know very
little about his time at war. I’m sure some of his anger stems from there. I
feared for his life every day. Kept up with the news and terror weighed on my shoulders
every second he was deployed. I’m so proud of him for what he’s done with his
life. Coming from a young kid with the odds of turning into a criminal stacked
against him to a man of honor. A soldier turned cop. I couldn’t ask for a
better man than him.
I still
haven’t been able to let him go. The man I left lives in the tattered mess of
my heart, and I never stopped praying our lives would have been different, that
fate wouldn’t have snuck up on me and kicked my feet right out from under me.
Stole our chance at happiness. I’ve loved Tyson
since the first day I laid my eyes on him. Through time and
therapy, I thought I would be able to stop
loving him. That there was no
way, love
could be this strong that months, years and a decade later it would still
linger. The precious memories I kept locked away swarmed to the forefront of my
mind the minute I saw him again. Stolen kisses, bodies tangled together. Our
hearts so full of promises to one another. I
broke them all.
Broke him. Broke me. I’m here to fix it. Somehow.
 I remain calm matching Jude’s gaze while every
cell in my body is a quivering mess. My stomach shifts uneasily and sweat
breaks out at the nape of my neck. But, I will not falter or allow him to see
that his presence is terrifying me.
“When Tyson
first told me it was you I didn’t want to believe it. I prayed for you to
disappear, to crawl back under your rock and stay the hell away from him. Now
after seeing what this is doing to him. I’ve changed my mind. Before I get into
why I think you owe me an explanation as
to what your plans are, I want you to know I’m standing here not trying to
intimidate you. I’m here to tell you if your reasons are not legit. I will
fucking destroy you.” Good luck. You can’t destroy something that’s already
broken.

About 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.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

10736-dane2bteaser2bnot

I’m recovering from surgery, and read Dane over the course of yesterday, and I still am not sure I’ve gathered myself enough to write this review. Dane is a gut-wrenching, soul-crushing, heartbreaking read about selfishness, self-protection, selflessness… and being caught in a morally gray area. There are definite triggers in this book — I do not think that the description indicates that at all, so reader beware. I LOVE that this book was told solely through Dane’s POV (with the exception of an awesome epilogue) because it really is HIS story. The reader gets to experience all of his emotions, heartbreak, heartache, guilt, happiness, loyalty, confusion and elation in a way that I don’t think would come across in a dual POV book.

I’m going to try my best to review this without giving away spoilers, so here we go. Dane is a wealthy businessman, but his personal life is a bit of a mess. He’s not living life, but merely existing, due to his situation at home. But he doesn’t even realize that until a chance encounter with Eden and the subsequent times that their paths continue to cross.

Because everything happens for a reason.

Good or bad, everything happens for a reason. You may not know why. You may not ever understand why. But everything happens for a reason.

Eden opens up Dane’s eyes in a way that he never could have imagined, forcing him to face just how miserable his honorable intentions have made him. She teaches him to laugh again, live again, experience joy again… And that just increases Dane’s guilt tenfold because of his situation with Gabi. Gabi, who Dane has always put first, ahead of himself. And for the first time ever in his life, Dane finds someone who makes him the priority through his friendship with Eden.

“Anyone looking at me would never know the loneliness that lived inside. The desperation that had carved itself a spot and made a permanent home where my heart used to lay.”

“I hadn’t realized how lonely I was until she stopped paying attention to me and then abruptly stopped. Now I was truly miserable.”

This isn’t a traditional love triangle, and while there are some elements of an emotional affair, I wouldn’t consider what happens between Dane and Eden to be cheating. There is so much tragedy involved for all three characters, but Gabi most of all. My heart just broke for her.

There is so much turmoil before the HEA. But once the characters all get there — and they all get a HEA — it is amazingly perfect.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

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: Duke Of Manhattan, by Louise Bay

SBPR-LB-SBbrandbannerBLOGTOUR

Duke of Manhattan by Louise Bay
Release Date: May 16th
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Duke of Manhattan, an all-new contemporary romance by Louise Bay is available now!!!

I was born into British aristocracy, but I’ve made my fortune in Manhattan. New York is now my kingdom.

Back in Britain my family are fighting over who’s the next Duke of Fairfax. The rules say it’s me–if I’m married. It’s not a trade-off worth making. I could never limit myself to just one woman.

Or so I thought until my world is turned upside down. Now, the only way I can save the empire I built is to inherit the title I’ve never wanted — so I need a wife.

To take my mind off business I need a night that’s all pleasure. I need to bury myself in a stranger.

The skim of Scarlett King’s hair over my body as she bends over . . .

The scrape of her nails across my chest as she screams my name . . .

The bite of her teeth on my shoulder just as we both reach the edge . . .

It all helps me forget.

I just didn’t bargain on finding my one night stand across the boardroom table the next day.

She might be my latest conquest but I have a feeling Scarlett King might just conquer me.

A sexy, standalone romance.

Sunny Shelly’s Review:
I’m not a big fan of the fake relationship-pact trope, but Louise Bay has a winner with Duke Of Manhattan!

Newly divorced, Scarlett is having some issues finding her groove when her sister talks her into having a one night stand with a sexy British stranger she meets at a bar. The sex is off-the-charts for both of them, but Ryder and Scarlett don’t even exchange last names before she slinks away in thw middle of the night. The next morning, both of them are blown away for a very different reason when Ryder turns out to be the potential investor who could be Scarlett’s only hope of bailing out her successful fragrance company with a loan due soon. But the terms of the agreement aren’t what Scarlett and her partner want (retaining control) and the transition reaches a stalemate.

Meanwhile, playboy Ryder can’t get sexy Scarlett out of his head, which is unusual for this one-and-done guy. But…. thanks to a technicality in his family’s line of inheritance and succession, in order to keep the company he’s worked so hard to build for himself in America, away from the confines of his aristocratic upbringing, Ryder needs to be married.

And there is the marriage pact: Ryder will gift Scarlett the money she needs to save his company if she marries him and helps him gain his inheritance and retain his own company. And since the sex was so hot the first time around, Scarlett and Ryder take full advantages of the benefits of being married. So naturally, it’s not long before feelings start to develop, feelings that neither one of them ever discuss with the other, so when The Conflict arises, both feel betrayed by the other.

DukeofManhattan.Ebook

In many stories I’ve read in this genre, the fake relationship feels forced. But Bay crafted two deep characters in Scarlett and Ryder, and I felt like their relationship evolved organically as the story unfolded, rather than the insta-marriage being shoved at the reader.

And the words of wisdom from Ryder’s grandfather?? Priceless. The letter he sent to Scarlett made me cry. I so enjoyed Duke Of Manhattan, and loved how the epilogue ties up the future lives of the couples from Park Avenue Prince and King Of Wall Streer as well. Fans of this series will love the HEA we see for all three couples!

Review: Indiscretion, by Lane Hart

IndiscretionBlurb:

I don’t care what anyone says, loving Sam wasn’t a mistake.

The only mistake I ever made was letting the wrong person see the two of us together. Her best friend knew the only chance he had with Sam was to get rid of me. That’s why the bastard had me arrested.

I rotted away for ten agonizing months in prison while that jackass tried to take my place.

Sam may think that she’s moved on with her life. That’s exactly what I wanted her to do, until I found out his plan worked. The two of them have been living together, playing house while I struggled to survive.

What the prick doesn’t realize is that she’s mine and there’s nothing he can do to keep us apart.

I’m coming for her, and I would love to see him try and stop me.

 

Sunny Shelly’s Review:

Indiscretion is a hot, forbidden romance between 19 year old high school senior Samantha and 29 year old physical therapist Dr. Grant Matthews. They first meet when track runner Sam seeks medical assistance after injuring her ankle, and the sexual connection between them is immediate. When Grant assumes Sam is in college and asks her out, Sam doesn’t correct him…. and thus begins the sexy romance between the two.

What makes the relationship forbidden is when Grant ends up getting a job as the school’s sports PT — and Sam’s lie of omission is exposed. They briefly split up, but can’t stay away from one another… much to the dismay of Sam’s best friend, Hunter, who has long been in love with her. And then Sam and Grant are split up again when he is arrested for sexual relations with a student. One indiscretion changes both of their lives.

As the story goes back and forth between the present day and the year before, all of the shocking details unfold as to what led to Grant’s arrest. And it’s a doozy. But when Grant is released from prison, will he be able to win back the love of his life? How will Sam handle learning Hunter’s role in the worst night of her life? It’s all resolved in a tidy bow with a HEA that brought a tear to my eye.

Review: Whiskey Burned, by Jessalyn Jameson

WB

BOOK DETAILS:

Whiskey Burned
by Jessalyn Jameson
(Flawed Heroes)
Publication date: March 21st 2017
Genres: Erotica, Romance

Blurb:

Bar owner Jake Johnson loves women—until he kicks them out of his bed. Hardened by devastating loss, the only thing he lets warm his heart these days is the smooth burn of a good whiskey.

Tamryn Baker wants Jake as much as she wants to run her own business; too bad he can’t see past the pain-in-the-ass little girl she was, or the promise he made to her older brother to look after her.

Jake’s a whiskey burn on a cold winter’s night, but Tamryn wants more than heat between the sheets. Tamryn’s always felt like home, but Jake knows crossing the line with her wouldn’t be safe, regardless of the explosive chemistry building between them.

If they give in, their broken hearts will either fit together perfectly—or their pasts will shred them both.

—
WHISKEY BURNED is the second book of the Flawed Heroes series; each book is a standalone.

Sunny Shelly’s Review:
I enjoyed the premise of Whiskey Burned — Jake promised his best friend, Colby, that he’d look after his little sister, Tamryn, after he died. It’s one of my favorite tropes, when they realize that they are in love with each other. But damn, Jake was a dummy! He was SO OBLIVIOUS! And I know that was part of the story: that he’s the last to realize that TB loves him and that he’s actually been in love with her for years as well. But I just wanted to smack the hell out of him so many times! And for her part, TB never bothered to talk to Jake about her feelings, either. I just felt that there could have been more to this story and exploring their relationship had they both not been so stubborn.

The “Grand Gesture” that Jake does to prove his love to TB is what saved the story for me, though. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

New Taboo Romance: 100 Proof, by Shanora Williams

100 Proof, an all-new taboo STANDALONE romance from Shanora Williams is LIVE!

100 Proof

100 Proof by Shanora Williams

Release Date: May 18th, 2017

Genre: Contemporary Romance

I was the low life.

The screw up.

The hopeless one with no future.

He was the rich guy. The smart one. The one who had it all.

My parents admired everything he did, while I was known for being their greatest disappointment. I didn’t follow the path they paved for me.

I drank and partied and did whatever the hell I wanted. The buzz was something I couldn’t live without – the fire that filled my veins after each sip always kept me running back for more.

But then I met her, and suddenly the drinks didn’t matter. The parties weren’t as fun. That fiery buzz came second for once.

I drowned only in her, wanting her more than I wanted to exist.

But even with her, I screwed things up.

Now, he’s with the woman I love. And he may have her, but what he should know is that even with all of his money, that nice house, and his expensive cars, her mind, body, and soul will always belong to me.

And I’m not sorry about it, brother, ’cause she was mine first.

I ran the streets, doing whatever I pleased, until Shame showed up to claim me. For five years, the most notorious street gang in Boston became my family. The day I turned eighteen, I didn’t want to leave. My heart belonged to Shame. I simply needed to convince him I was more than the little girl he rescued.

I promised to love him, but could he ever love me back?

Not all love was easy.
Not all love was meant to be.
And not all love could survive.

From the author of The Irreparable Series comes a story of forbidden romance. With all the angst you expect from KJ Bell, Living With Shame will bring you to your knees and have you begging for a happy ending.
