Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Endless Stars

I fell hard for Izzy and Mack. This was a fantastic second-chance romance, full of emotions, regret, forgiveness, heartbreak, hardship and longing. These two characters were amazing together. Mack was just kind of going through the motions of life until the day that Izzy reappeared in his life.

Mack is a small-town detective, but he’s carrying some deep emotional scars. He’s always felt like he wasn’t good enough, deserving enough. Even though he was fighting crime in their small town, he came from crime and always felt like it held him back. No matter how his little bird, Izzy, tried to convince him that he was a dragon and could slay anything.

These characters were just amazing. I know I said that already, but I fell for Izzy and Mack, hard. Their reunion isn’t easy — she’s a single mom and worries how the mistakes of their past will affect her children. But her boys! How could you not fall in love with Dillon and Benjamin? Mack absolutely melts in their presence, and once he meets those sweet kids, there’s no way he is going to let the three of them go.

I have not read the other books in this Confessions series. The characters are all friends so there is crossover, but I didn’t feel like I was missing out on any background. Although, now I’m interested to read about Jace and Ian, so I definitely want to check them out!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Don’t miss the awesome giveaway for the Pieces of Us release! It’s the first two books from the Confessions of the Heart Series + Kindle Fire + Polaroid Camera + All the Goods!

Ahhh I can’t wait for you to experience this story! I’m so insanely proud of it! I can’t wait to hear what you think!

Blog Tour: Sunny Shelly Reviews Lead The Way, by Brittany Carter

Lead The Way
Brittany Carter
Published by: Swoon Romance
Publication date: April 22nd 2019
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance

Fresh off the high of college graduation, Melody James is back in her Podunk town. She needs a job, but first, she’ll spend a lazy summer with no agenda at all.

But life’s got other plans for Melody, ones she’d sooner ignore. When the next-door neighbor passes away, his son returns home to take care of his affairs. Thane Cohen hasn’t been home in ten years. The last time he was, someone accused him of murdering Melody’s parents. Now, after major efforts to recover his self-worth and start a construction company, Thane wonders if enough time has passed for him to clear his once good name.

At the time of the murders, Melody was the only person who didn’t believe Thane was responsible. But how could she even suggest otherwise when just about everyone in town was convinced of Thane’s guilt? Her brothers would never allow it. With nothing to lose before, Thane packed up and left, leaving the town and Melody behind. Now that he’s back, rekindling an old flame in Melody and proving his innocence are critical.

When several car windshields get broken and fires start unexpectedly, the world inside their little town is tossed upside down. With Melody’s brother against her, and Thane fighting every attempt she makes at breaking down his walls, Melody’s push for answers leads her to a frightening conclusion. Thane may actually know more about her parents’ death than she was lead to believe. Can she trust him, or has everyone else been right about him all along? Only time will tell if she can let love lead the way.

*Author previously wrote under the name, Alla Kar

Goodreads / Amazon

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

When the world is against them, will love lead the way for Melody and Thane?

This was a really enjoyable second-chance romance with a twist of suspense. Thane has tried so hard to put his past behind him, and Melody can’t seem to escape hers. Their lives are forever connected, but not necessarily in a good way.

He has built some pretty big walls around his heart, and rightfully so. There’s an nice push/pull between the characters as Melody tries to get past his boundaries and prove to Thane that he’s more than what the town thinks of him. (BTW, I love that name!)

The story flows nicely, and the characters are well-rounded. The subplots didn’t take away from the main story between Thane and Melody, nor did I find that the mystery behind her parents’ murders overshadowed the budding romance.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

It all started with a sexy selfie. 🍆

A deliciously naughty, tell-everyone-you-know read!

About Junk Mail

It all started with a sexy selfie.

Texted to the wrong number.

Oops.

Not my finest moment—but I have nothing to be ashamed of.

She thought I was no better, and I quote, than the knuckle-dragging douche-bags she was never dating again.

It was a stupid dare from a girl I’d met online, but since she’d given me a fake number, I didn’t feel bad that my interests were suddenly focused elsewhere—on the fiery and sharp-tongued, Peyton that I found myself sparring with over text for the rest of the evening.

The following day, my case of mistaken identity came back to bite me in the banana.

When I strolled into the office, I was introduced to Peyton as the new client I needed to win over. The Peyton , in case you’re not tracking.

And let’s just say she had my full attention.

Brains? Check.

Beauty? Oh yeah.

And the best part? She hated me on sight.

Dear God, do I love a challenge.

Let the games begin.

 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

What a fun read! This book had me in stitches. Peyton and Josh were a perfect pair, right from the start, and Gram was a hoot!

The meet-cute between Josh and Peyton was great. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything like that before! The fine line they tried to straddle between personal and professional was well-written, and I liked that I was shown the conflict they both felt, not just told it was there.

These two sizzled from the start, and I immediately fell in love with Peyton and Josh.

I did find it odd that there was zero mention of either of their parents. Josh said he knew what it was like to lose someone you love… but there was no further explanation. Other than Gram and his cousin, Claire, there was zero mention of other family members. Everything else in this book flowed great and clicked for m, aside from that!

New Release: Sunny Shelly Reviews Baby Mine, by Kennedy Fox

 

 

 
I saw her first.

Blonde. Gorgeous. Feisty.

I was smitten. But it didn’t matter because she chose him and
he was my best friend and roommate. I’d never be able to compete with that, so
I pushed her away instead. It was easy when she lived hours away, and I didn’t
have to see her every day, but then she moved in with us. 

Now, I’m screwed.

To her singing in the shower every morning,
dancing in the kitchen while she makes coffee, and doing yoga in our living
room, I can’t stop thinking about her in all the wrong ways. She’s not mine and
never will be, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to push her against a wall
and claim her mouth.

She’s constantly on me for making messes,
bringing chicks home every weekend, and being a smartass when their PDA gets on
my nerves. Considering neither of them know how I feel, it’s not fair for the
way I act toward them. I should move out so I can get over her for good;
however, the selfish part of me can’t let go. 

But then the unthinkable happens… 

When my best friend dies in a motorcycle
accident, the two of us are left to grieve our loss together. Instead of
pushing her away, I pull her closer. 

Just as we come to terms with our new reality,
she finds out she’s pregnant with his baby. 

And I’m left to make the hardest decision of my
life…

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Oh my goodness! Baby Mine is full of angsty goodness!

Hunter has been in love with Lennon since the night he met her… except that even though he met her first, she ultimately chose his best friend, Brandon. Now, the three of them are roommates, and Hunter is trapped in a hell of his own making. The only way for him to survive is to pretend to hate Lennon. And he does such a fantastic job of that, that she hates him right back.

But when their lives are forever changed by one knock on the door, Hunter and Lennon lean on each other in a way that they can’t lean on anyone else. And when Lennon discovers after Brandon’s death that she’s pregnant, Hunter steps up to protect her, take care of her and the baby, even if it means a lifetime of heartbreak for himself.

I really wanted to dislike Brandon. I wanted a clear path to not feel like Hunter was doing something wrong in having feelings for Lennon. But Kennedy Fox wrote these characters magnificently, and even knowing Brandon’s fate ahead of time, I was absolutely crushed by his death, along with Hunter and Lennon. You know when you get that gut-punch for a character? I got that so early on in this story when it came to Hunter. His torment was palpable, and every time he felt that knife twist further into his heart, I bled right along with him.

This book is the first part of a duet, and it ends on a cliffhanger. And what a whopper it is! The romance between Hunter and Lennon is barely even started yet, but there’s a slow burn that’s been building as Lennon realizes she’s starting to see him in a different light. But that twist at the end has the potential to turn everything upside down, and I can’t wait to see where this story goes in the second part!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

New Release: Stay With Me, by K.L. Grayson

release blitz banner.jpg

Stay With Me, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by USA Today bestselling author K.L. Grayson is live!

Cover.jpg

Stay with me.

Three simple words.

One impossible request.

I’ve loved Allie McCallister for as long as I can remember. Her happiness and well-being mean more to me than anything else, which is why when the opportunity of a lifetime presented itself, I had to take it. Three months was such a short amount of time to be apart to provide the financial stability we needed to start our lives.

It wasn’t supposed to catapult my band to stardom, and it sure as hell wasn’t supposed to set off the chain of events that pushed my relationship with Allie to the brink. Our hearts were shattered, our love tested, and when everything fell apart she begged me to leave.

Eight years ago, tragedy broke us. Now we’re back in the same little town where we once dreamed of building our future.

She’s a divorced, single mom.

I’m a damaged country music star.

There are a hundred reasons for us to stay apart.

But all it takes is one look, one touch, one kiss to know our story isn’t over. Now I have to convince her to let me stay.

Blog Tour: Sunny Shelly Reviews Twist Tied, by Heather Guimond

Title: Twist Tied
Series: Love Between the Pages
Author: Heather Guimond
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: April 11, 2019
Cover Design: KAM Designs
If you’ve ever been left twisted in knots by your last book boyfriend…
Clarisse:
Author Wyatt Chase is one kinky mo-fo, and I know kinky. 
I’ve spent years devouring steamy stories that have left me fit to be tied, and as the assistant to his top rival, I’ve rubbed elbows with some of the dirtiest minds around. 
To make my life imitate his art, I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse.
Wyatt:
My readers think they know me from my stories, but I just have an imagination more fertile than a box of Miracle-Gro. When Clarisse Flores blindsides me with an unexpected proposition, I hesitate. She wants the Marquis de Sade, not some kinky fraud. Nevermind the fact she’s hell on wheels. Taming her should be a job for a professional, but one look into her hazel eyes and I’m willing to try.
What happens when a bossy, smart-mouthed, independent woman is determined to submit to a man who can barely tie his own necktie? 
Something is bound to unravel…
 

“A fantastic read that will keep a smirky smile of your face as the crazy banter plays out in the page turning twists making it impossible to put down.” ~Amazon Review

 

“This book had such a fresh outlook on romance in how it combined author life and BDSM expectations and I freaking loved it!” ~Amazon Review

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Twist Tied is the third book in Heather Guimond’s Love Between The Pages series and it is just as charming as the first two books.

Clarisse is Gage’s PA from The Novel Approach. Now that he’s pretty settled into a routine with Stacey, Clarisse gets it into her mind that becoming a PA for another popular erotic romance king, Wyatt Chase, would give her the double benefit of spicing up her lackluster love life. After all, Wyatt is a king of BDSM romance, so surely he could teach Clarisse a thing or two. She wants to be dominated, and Wyatt is the man to do it.


Or so she thinks. It’s hysterical seeing these two interact, because Wyatt knows zilch about D/s relationships and has pretty much just made up everything that he’s ever written. And with a bit of a scandal in his recent past involving two readers, Wyatt isn’t in much of a position to be doing anything other than laying low.

As he and Clarisse try to give their relationship a go, it’s full of funny moments and lots of ups and downs. Clarisse is not the submissive type, and Wyatt can’t get himself to fully take control. These characters relate so well to one another, even through all of their bickering. They are so relatable, and their relationship ends up being about so much more than just the physical connection.

This was a fantastic opposites attract story. It’s not at all what you think you’ll be reading in a BDSM novel, an it’s a great inside look into the world of romance authors. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Heather Guimond is a Los Angeles native, a fact she’s abnormally proud of. When she’s not trying to write something that will make people laugh or rip their hearts out (or both!) she’s either reading or doing her best to crack the whip on her three home-schooled teenagers. She loves all things witty and wise-cracking, as well most varieties of smart-assery. Other favorites include French roast coffee in copious amounts and the dirtiest Dirty Martinis she can find. More than anything, she hopes she writes books that stick with the reader long after the pages have been read.

Beautiful and mysterious she possessed little more. . .

Than a dangerous and troublesome past.

THE MISTER, the highly anticipated new love story from #1 New York Times bestseller E L James is available now!

the mister hi res 1.22.19

London, 2019. Life has been easy for Maxim Trevelyan. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, he’s never had to work and he’s rarely slept alone. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family’s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. It’s a role he’s not prepared for and one that he struggles to face.

But his biggest challenge is fighting his desire for an unexpected, enigmatic young woman who’s recently arrived in England, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past. Reticent, beautiful, and musically gifted, she’s an alluring mystery, and Maxim’s longing for her deepens into a passion that he’s never experienced and dares not name. Just who is Alessia Demachi? And can Maxim protect her from the malevolence that threatens her? And what will she do when she learns that he’s been hiding secrets of his own?

From the heart of London through wild, rural Cornwall to the bleak, forbidding beauty of the Balkans, The Mister is a roller-coaster ride of danger and desire that leaves the reader breathless to the very last page.

Blog Tour: Sunny Shelly Reviews It Was Always You, by Kristine Dugger

 
 
Title: It Was Always You 
Author: Kristine Dugger 
Genre: Contemporary Romance

It has been ten long years since I have really been home. Yes, I have come and gone but not really stayed put for a great amount of time. I have stayed in contact with some of my friends. But there is one friend, who always had my back. Who was always there for me. Duane, my loveable man whore of a friend. He keeps me grounded despite some of the choices I have made.

Speaking of choices, several years ago, I wrote a best-selling novel about my relationship with my ex-boyfriend, Tyler. He was my world when we were teenagers. Unfortunately, our teenage love story ended with me running off to college in a different state.

Now, I am home. It is time to face the demons of what I wrote. Seeing Tyler. What will happen between us? Will love rekindle? Or will someone else sweep me off my feet?


 
 
 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3.5 Stars

Romance author Hailey returns home from college, and she waffles back and forth between seeing if there is still something with her high school boyfriend, Tyler, and falling into a friends with benefits relationship with her best friend Duane. Who is also Tyler’s best friend.

As the three of them try to navigate this sticky situation, there is all kinds of drama, naturally. And lots of sex. I thought the situation that led to Duane and Hailey splitting was kind of immature on his part, and deserved a discussion with Hailey first. It should have been her choice.

The story is a relatively quick one; it took me a little over an hour to read it. And i enjoyed it, but I just didn’t love it. I can’t quite put my finger on why, but I just didn’t fall in love with Hailey as a heroine. But if you like love triangles with lots of drama and a heroine who finally figures her life out, then It Was Always You is right up your alley.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
