“I wasn’t ready for this. Hannah deserved a man who was whole, not a broken shell. But I couldn’t resist her. Couldn’t resist this. It felt too good.And would that be so bad? To have something that felt good for once?”

My name is Leo Miles, and I’m not a hero.

I came home broken—wounded and scarred. It’s been five years, and I haven’t left my family’s land. Not once. It’s not much of a life, but with the way I look now, I prefer to stay hidden.

My only reprieve is her voice. I put on my headset, log in to my game, and she’s there. We talk while we play, sharing everything but our personal details. She’s my best friend—my happy place—even though I don’t know her real name.

Until one day, I hear a voice I recognize. She’s here, at my family’s winery. Meeting Hannah Tate in person rocks my world. And discovering she’s in trouble—serious trouble—changes everything.

Hannah is my every fantasy come true. And this badass gamer girl is determined to break through my defenses. But between the mess that is my life, and the threats to my family’s safety, I can’t be anyone’s hero, least of all hers.

But maybe we both need saving.

Blog Tour: Sunny Shelly Reviews Stay All Night, by D.B. James & S.L. Peters

Title: Stay All Night
Series: Sugarcreek Love #1
Author: D.B. James and S.L. Peters
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: February 19, 2019

“Stay all night,” were the words echoing from her lips as I slid from the bed like the scumbag I am.
 
My name is Tobias Roman Jefferson. I’m a college drop-out fresh from living on my buddies’ couch and nowhere near worthy enough for the likes of Janie Lynn Francis—the hottest girl in Sugarcreek, Texas. Who also happens to be the woman I’ve been in love with for the last nineteen years.
 
When one stormy night we’re left stranded in my old cabin in the woods, we give to our passion. Only to repeat ourselves the next night…at her house. When she whispers her plea, I escape from her bed as fast as I possibly can.

How can I, the town screw-up, deem myself worthy of the town’s one-time homecoming queen?


Amazon Review: “D.B. James is rapidly becoming one of my go to authors. Stay All Night was well written and I can’t wait to read more from S. L. Peters.”


Cranky TBC: “Swoon!! I love you Tobias Roman Jefferson.”


Melanie Helms: “This was a super cute, good book.”

 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

This was a cute unrequited love story. When Janie Lynn moves back to her small Texas town after years away in veterinary school, Tobias takes the leap to take her out on a date like he wanted to do so many years ago. Before his brother made a move first, and changed the course of Tobias’ life forever.

Tobias is such a likable guy, even more so because of his low self-esteem (thinking everyone in town hates him) and how he was betrayed by his dad and brother over and over again. I can’t decide if Teddy is cute or creepy, but I still liked the guy and was rooting for him to get the girl he’s been in love with for half his life.

There is a cute “cameo” made by a popular author at the end of the book that made me smile, and the whole story is tied up in a HEA that Tobias so deserves after all that he’d wrongly been accused of.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Excerpt
The minister glanced between them. In a low voice he asked,
“Are you ready?”
“Yes,” they both said.
He raised his voice so the congregation could her him.
“Michael and Rowan, marriage is a promise between two people to love, trust,
and honor each other. It takes trust to know in your hearts you only want the
best for each other. It takes—”
A commotion at the back of the chapel stopped the minister
from telling them what else it took.
“Sir, you can’t go in. There’s a wedding in progress!”
She recognized their wedding planner Stephanie’s voice.
“I know. I’m here to stop it.”
Rowan’s heart thumped in her chest and her fingers tingled
from the flow of adrenaline suddenly coursing through her. She squeezed her
eyes closed. “Please God, no,” she whispered.

Excerpt: What It Takes To Fall, by C.R. Ellis



We’re celebrating the release of  What It Takes to Fall by C.R. Ellis! Check out the excerpt and one-click your copy today!

Title: What It Takes to Fall (Forget Me Knot #3)
Age Group: Adult
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: February 21, 2019

Designed by: Hang Le

 

Book Description
ELLIOT

Happily settled into my new position at FMK Weddings, I never expected to be presented with the career opportunity of a lifetime. And I definitely wasn’t expecting it to mean working with Bryce McKnight.

Bryce was the heart and soul of my childhood—my best friend.Until life pulled us apart and we lost touch.

Our friendship picks up right where it left off—complete with colorful trash talking and wagers on Mario Kart showdowns—only, I’m pretty sure friends don’t make out in parking lots or have naked sleepovers…

BRYCE

The first time we met, I won Elliot Kincaid’s trust with candy and card games.

After everything I’ve done, it’ll take a lot more to win her heart.

Fortunately, I love a good challenge.

With so much at stake for us both, I know Elliot thinks we’re setting ourselves up for heartbreak.

I’ll just have to show her that our friendship was always meant to be the foundation of our forever.

*What It Takes to Fall is a stand alone in the Forget Me Knot series.

Excerpt:

BRYCE: MORE coffee??? Are you aware of potential heart issues caused by an increased caffeine intake?

My head jerked up, instinctively looking for hair the shade of dark honey. He sat across the room at a tiny table with his laptop out. Smiling eyes behind black-rimmed glasses met mine before he shot me a wink. I smiled and turned back to my computer.

ELLIOT: Are YOU aware of the term ‘restraining order’??? Exactly how long have you been watching me, McStalks-a-lot?

BRYCE: Never heard of it. And…long enough. This is MY coffee shop, remember? Also, if you’re expanding the potential nicknames to Mc-somethings, I prefer McDreamy.

ELLIOT: So humble. Too bad that one’s already taken. But feel free to keep the suggestions coming.

BRYCE: Ask and you shall receive…

BRYCE: McDreamboat. McHotBody. McLicious. McMagicDick. I spewed iced coffee onto my laptop screen and keyboard. Grabbing a napkin, I wiped up the mess.

ELLIOT: McLicious? What are you, some kind of McDonald’s dessert? I’m thinking McCock…y seems highly fitting.

ELLIOT: Also, my fingers are now sticky, thanks to you.

BRYCE: If we’re about to swap confessions about masturbating after you went home last night, we should move this conversation somewhere more private.

BRYCE: Then again, I do love the idea of making you squirm in public…

ELLIOT: ??????

BRYCE: El. Reread your text.
I did, and my face immediately burst into flames of mortification. Other parts of me also burst to life at Bryce’s words.

Also, he wasn’t wrong about what I’d done after I got home last night.

ELLIOT: You wouldn’t.

ELLIOT: Besides, even if that was remotely true, how do you know *you* were the reason behind it?

BRYCE: I can see you blushing from here. That’s how.

BRYCE: It’s adorable, by the way. But now picturing you touching yourself is giving me very NSFW thoughts and ideas.

ELLIOT: Such as?

BRYCE: Elliot Kincaid…are you trying to get me to sext you…from across the room, while we’re both on the clock?

I leaned back in my chair and bit my lip, refusing to look his way. Crap. Is that what I’m doing? I can’t do that while we’re both supposed to be working. While part of me worried he actually would try to sext me right now, the idea of seeing how far I could push Bryce was too tempting to pass up.

ELLIOT: Maybe.

BRYCE: Dirty girl. I’m coming over there.

ELLIOT: No!

ELLIOT: Not yet. I actually do need to work. And you coming over here right now would probably make that impossible.

I swore I heard him sigh from across the room, but when I looked over, his eyes were on his screen.

BRYCE: I’ll make you a deal. We both work—no distractions—for a solid hour, a ‘power hour’ if you will, and then I’m coming over there.

ELLIOT: Deal.

I closed out of Messages and successfully resisted the urge to turn and look at Bryce.

No distractions.
Right.

Easier said than done when he was in my vicinity, hijacking my thoughts every other minute.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

What a sweet story! Baking With A Rockstar is the first book I’ve read by this author. You never know if it’s going to be a hit or miss, and I’m happy to say this story was a hit.

Hudson is such a sweetheart. He knows that Charlie, a single mom with an infant, is in no place to start dating, but he is so patient and kind. And his interactions with little Mira! Oh, exploding ovaries!

I felt like these two really balanced each other out, and I loved that his grandma gave them a little prodding. There is a twist in Charlie’s backstory that I wasn’t expecting, and it made me like her even more.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Excerpt
The smart and
rational side of my brain seems to be on a break because all I’m capable of
doing is raking my eyes over Mr. Basketball Shorts. He’s tall with broad
shoulders and the most pronounced abs I’ve ever seen up close. The baseball cap
on his head is turned backward, and he’s currently wiping his face off with
what I assume to be his shirt. That is the only reason he hasn’t seen me yet,
and why I haven’t seen his face yet either. But I’m going out on a limb here
and say it’s probably as gorgeous as the rest of him.
My eyes drift
back to his drool-worthy chest, following the beads of sweat that are slowly
running down his torso to the V-shaped lower abs until they disappear into the
pair of shorts that sits low on his hips.
Sudden heat
shoots through my body, making my cheeks tingle from the force of it. My brain
uses that moment of distraction to finally kick back in again, reminding me of
the situation at hand.
A total stranger
is standing in my kitchen.
Half-naked.
And we’re all
alone in this house.

Blog Tour: Sunny Shelly Reviews Irresistible, by Melanie Harlow

Irresistible - BT Banner.jpg

“Sexy, heartfelt–did I mention sexy? With the perfect touch of the forbidden, Melanie Harlow has outdone herself with single dad Mack and Frannie’s story!”

— Ilsa Madden-Mills, Wall Street Journal bestselling author

Irresistible, an all-new fun and swoony standalone from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow, is available now!

Irresistible FOR WEB.jpg

I’m a full-time single dad to three daughters and CFO at Cloverleigh Farms. I don’t have time to fall in love—I’m too busy trying to run a business, keep the red socks out of the white laundry, and get the damn pillowcases on without owing a dollar to the swear jar.

Sure, Frannie Sawyer is beautiful and sweet, but she’s twenty-seven, the boss’s daughter, and my new part-time nanny—which means she’s completely off-limits. It’s bad enough I can’t stop fantasizing about her, what kind of jerk would I be if I acted on the impulse to kiss her?

(Exactly the kind of jerk you’re thinking.)

Actually, I’m worse than that—because I didn’t stop with a kiss, and now I can’t stay away.  She makes me feel like myself again. She reminds me what it’s like to want something just for me. She’s everything I ever needed, but nothing I ever imagined.

I’m a former Marine. I should have had the strength to resist her from the start.

But I didn’t. And now I have to choose between the life I want and the life she deserves.

Even if it means giving her up.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Melanie Harlow starts a spin-off if her One And Only series with the new Cloverleigh Farms series. Mack is the best friend/coworker of Ryan from Only Love, and is the CFO of Cloverleigh Farms, the winery/inn/farm that Frannie’s family runs.

Mack is a single, divorced dad struggling to keep his life together and not fail his three young daughters. Frannie is his part-time nanny, but there has been a spark between them for a while now. But Mack won’t cross that line with his boss’ daughter, and Frannie thinks that the older guy would never look at her in a romantic way.

Once those lines are crossed, Frannie and Mack walk a delicate line of trying to balance their romance, his daughters and their jobs. But when Mack realizes that he’s starting to fall for Frannie, will he break both of their hearts rather than take a chance on love again?

I loved how flustered Mack got. He was so relatable as a dad, rough around the edges, trying to hold it all together and fearing that he was failing them. Frannie was so kind and sweet and everything that Mack’s ex wasn’t. She has been babies by her family her entire life, and I really liked how she took a stand, not only with her parents, but with Mack. She’s fabulous with the girls, doesn’t pressure Mack for anything more than he can give her.

This was a great start to a new series and I can’t wait to see what comes next for the other sisters!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Irresistible - Teaser 4 an.jpg

Excerpt:

I was holding my breath.

I wasn’t even sure why, but it was something about the way Mack was looking at me. And the tension in his body—the taut muscles in his neck. The grip of his fingers on the edge of the counter. The set of his jaw. It gave the impression of restraint. Like he was holding himself back.

Something unfamiliar hummed in the air between us. I could feel it—he wanted me the way I wanted him.

No wonder I couldn’t breathe.

Then he cleared his throat and turned away from me, cutting off the current. “Sure. Everybody needs to make mistakes now and then.”

I’d forgotten I’d even asked the question.

He turned the sink on, rinsed his dishes, and placed them in the dishwasher. I stood there staring at his muscular back, at the width of his shoulders, at the snug fit of his jeans on his butt. If I were his and he were mine, I’d go over and wrap my arms around his waist, press my cheek to his back. Then he’d turn around, winding his arms around me. He’d lower his lips to mine, and—

“I should get you home,” he said, interrupting my fantasy. “Want to grab your coat?”

“Sure.” But I didn’t really want to leave. I wanted to stay in this warm, chaotic house with him and the girls. Pretend I belonged here. Pretend I belonged to him.

Blog Tour: Sunny Shelly Reviews Blow Me Away, by Christina Hovland

Today Christina Hovland is here to share her blog tour, BLOW ME AWAY!  Check it out and be sure to get your copy today!

 

Title: Blow Me Away

Author: Christina Hovland

Genre: Contemporary Romance

 

About Blow Me Away:

It’s all fun and games until somebody falls in love…

Jase Dvornakov has always loved women, 80’s hair band music, and things that go boom. He used to disarm bombs in the Navy, but he’s back in Denver after a mission overseas went sideways and destroyed his future, including his marriage. Now he arranges flowers in his family’s floral business because flowers don’t explode.

Cookie-baker extraordinaire, Heather Reese, has had one too many rounds of heartache, so she’s sworn off men and prefers to spend her evenings binge-watching game shows. Plus her no-men rule gives her time to focus on her dream come true—Heather’s Cookie Co.—her very own bake shop with an underground following for naughty shaped treats. She refuses to be interested in the hot-shot florist across the street. He is trouble with a capital T. Sexy trouble, but still, a hook-up with Jase is a hard nope.

Desperate to avoid his family’s incessant matchmaking, a fake breakup with the beautiful Heather is just what the florist ordered. If his family believes Heather decimated his heart, they’ll leave him alone. Heather isn’t so keen on the idea, but Jase is determined to make it worth her while. When a pretend breakup becomes the real romance neither was expecting, together they’ll have to decide if it’s finally time to light the fuse on love…

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

What is not to love about Blow Me Away? It’s smart, funny, and full of whacky family!

Jase is a divorced former Navy bomb expert now working in his family’s floral business. (Because flowers won’t explode.) Across the street, Heather has her cookie business, specializing in “dirty” treats. When Jase’s meddling family gets involved in his non-existent love life, he figures that a fake breakup with Heather is the perfect way to get his grandmother off his back. And she’s sworn off men, so there’s no chance of her getting her feelings hurt, right?

Except that the more time Jase and Heather spend together as “exes” the more they realize that there just may be something between them worth taking a chance on.

This story is well-paced, and the faux romance didn’t feel forced to me. I love the crazy cast of characters that make up Jase’s family! Blow Me Away is the second book in a series, as Jase and Heather are friends of the couple in book #1. However, I didn’t feel as if I was missing story from not having read the previous book, so it is a true standalone.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Now Live: Only Ever You, by Siobhan Davis

OEY_RB.jpg

He’s the hot-as-sin rocker hiding a secret that would devastate his fans. She’s the only girl he’s ever loved, but keeping her safe means he had to walk away…

Only Ever You, an all-new emotional, second chance standalone from USA Today bestselling author Siobhan Davis is available now!

OnlyEverYou_ecover.jpg

RYDER

My entire life is a lie, propelled by one wrong decision that altered my fate.

If fans knew the truth, they’d run away screaming. But all they see is Ryder Stone, moody guitarist and lead singer of Torment, and a potential notch on their bedpost.

Only two people know who I really am. My manager has a vested interest in keeping my secret, and the girl I was forced to leave behind doesn’t even know the true extent of my shame.

Losing Zeta is both my biggest regret and my proudest moment. But she was the glue keeping me together, and I’m struggling to survive without her. Especially when the demons from my past continue to haunt me and the threat of disclosure is ever present.

When she reappears in my life, this time, I’m too weak to push her away.

Her love has the power to save me.

Mine has the power to destroy her.

ZETA

I’ve worked hard to forget my past. To rise above my messed-up childhood and make something of myself; however, there’s no forgetting him.

Ryder’s gorgeous face and drool-worthy body are plastered over tabloids and TV screens, reminding me I’m still in love with the boy who captured my heart in juvie.

When he failed me, I thought I’d never again experience such heart-crushing pain. But watching him fall out of clubs with a succession of different girls renews the agony, resurrecting countless unanswered questions.

Now my boss has sent me to interview him. It’s a massive scoop for the magazine, and turning it down would kill my career. So, I delude myself into thinking I can handle this.

Perhaps this is the closure I need to finally move on.

Except I’m terrified nothing has changed and one look into those soulful eyes will suck me in again.

Ryder almost destroyed me last time. This time, he could ruin me forever.

About FALLEN STAR

Available March 5th, 2019

The second he walked through the door, she could tell he was trouble.

Grace knows better than to fall for a Hollywood bad boy like Scott Deacon. An arrogant movie star with a troubled past and a big honking chip on his shoulder? No, thank you. He may be sex on wheels, but beneath the charming facade he’s just another cocky jackass destined to make her job more difficult.

Except…

The more time they spend together, the hotter the fire between them burns. With every flirtatious smile and brush of his hand, she feels her defenses crumbling.

She wants to hate him, but instead she’s in danger of losing all control.

Read an Excerpt from FALLEN STAR:

Tuesday they were shooting on location in Jackson Square all day. The call time was two hours before dawn, so they could wring every second of sunlight out of the day, and Grace could not stop yawning on the transport van to the location.

“Wakey, wakey,” Scott said, leaning over the back of his seat to shake a plastic tumbler filled with something thick and green and disgusting-looking in front of her face.

“Ugh,” Grace grumbled. “Get that away from me.” She couldn’t help but smile a little though, even through her sleep-deprived crankiness.

An hour later, as the first streaks of light were glimmering in the sky above the river, Scott showed up at the pop-up tent where video village had been set up, and presented Grace with a white paper bag and a tall styrofoam cup from Café du Monde.

“For me?” she asked, perking up considerably. “Did you seriously walk over there and buy me coffee?” He didn’t seem to have gotten anything for anyone else. Just her. Her brain filed this information away to obsess over and analyze later, when he wasn’t standing two feet away grinning at her.

“Café au lait,” Scott said smugly. “And beignets.”

Grace narrowed her eyes at him in suspicion. “Did you make one of the PAs do it?”

“As a matter of fact, I did it all by myself. And I had to take a picture with the employees, so I hope you appreciate it.”

“I do!” she said, beaming at him. “You’re officially my favorite person today.”

He blinked at her, his smirk fading into something else entirely. Whatever that expression on his face was, it sent Grace’s stomach tumbling into a free fall. Rather than examine it more closely, she focused her attention on the bag in her hand. Inside was a mountain of powdered sugar, and buried beneath it were three pillowy squares of fried dough. “Don’t inhale while you’re eating those,” Scott warned her.

“Not my first rodeo,” Grace told him, excavating a beignet. “Want one?”

“Noooo.” He held up his hands in a warding gesture. “I’m doing a water cut for that fight scene on Thursday.”

Right. He’d be shirtless, which meant the Abs of Glory would be on full display. Grace found herself looking forward to Thursday with a little more enthusiasm.

“Sucks for you,” she said, giving him a taunting grin as she bit into a beignet.

His eyes homed in on her mouth with laser beam focus. “That’s fine. I’ll just enjoy them vicariously by watching you eat.”

“Does this get you off?” she asked archly and took another bite.

Scott licked his lips. “Not gonna lie, it kind of does.”

Grace couldn’t help laughing at his retriever-staring-down-a-dog-treat expression, which led her to make the fatal mistake of inhaling with the beignet in front of her mouth. Coughing sugar out of her lungs, she clapped a hand over her mouth as a cloud of fine white powder billowed out in front of her.

Scott sidestepped the powdered sugar typhoon and patted her on the back, chuckling. “Told you not to inhale.”
