Sunny Shelly’s Review: The Tenth Girl, by Carrie Aarons

 

Title: The Tenth Girl
Author: Carrie Aarons
Genre: New Adult/Young Adult
Release Date: September 9, 2018
Blurb
Never play a game
you can’t win.
For Cain Kent, that rule is golden. Losing is not in his vocabulary, and up until
now, everything has come easy. Football, school, girls … his charm-laced ego
may just be bigger than Texas itself.

The competition he started freshman year with his friends, to make ten notches
each in their bedposts by graduation day, is practically in the bag. One more
to go, and then it’s off to college fame and eventually, the big time.
Attachments aren’t something he wants to form, but when the quiet new girl
challenges him in front of his classmates, his curiosity is peaked. She would
be the perfect final score, and what fun to break her in the process.

Too bad Harper Posy has no intention of being just another warm body,
especially to the bad boy quarterback. Even if he does quote Forster and Huxley
when no one is listening. An aspiring author herself, Cain and his hidden soft
side are dangerous to her heart. She’s seen men ruin her mother’s dreams time
and again, and she’s determined to fly far away as soon as she has that diploma
in her fist.

But as the school year’s end looms closer, both realize they didn’t quite
understand the rules to begin with. Is winning a dirty bet worth the gamble
when the stakes, or the other’s heart in this case, are so high?

Harper is the one girl who isn’t up for playing games. And she just might make
Cain lose. Everything.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

I don’t read many high school stories because I feel like I’m way too old to enjoy those, and I actually thought The Tenth Girl was a college/YA romance. So I was surprised once I dove into reading it that not only was it set in a Texas high school, but I actually liked it very much!

Cain is your typical small-town, beloved jock who thinks he’s God’s gift to women and is untouchable because he’s a hometown football hero. So it was really refreshing to see that there is a deeper side to him. Not just intellectually, but Cain is really rather damaged when it comes to dealing with females, due to his mother abandoning him.

The guy thinks he’s untouchable, so of course it is the tenth girl he’s trying to bed (in order to win a bet he made with his friends as freshman) who brings him to his knees. I loved Harper. She is sassy, spunky, but insecure, a fish out of water as the new girl in school. She is right to question Cain’s sudden interest in her, and I fell in love with her and Cain as a couple as they fell in love with one another.

There are some really great moments of Cain and Harper as a couple before she learns of the bet and it all goes to hell. Cain’s groveling scene is rather sweet, and even the resolution between Harper and the mean girl, Annabelle, made me smile. (I’d love to see Anna get her own story!)

Overall, this was a great, enjoyable read — and makes me glad that I’m no longer in high school! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Blog Tour: Harsh, by Debra Doxer



We’re celebrating the release of HARSH by Debra Doxer! Do NOT miss this hot new adult romance!

HARSH by Debra Doxer
A Contemporary New Adult Romance
Release day: September 4, 2018
Harsh Pre-order links:
Blurb:

Each day dies with night, and every dream fades in the morning. 

That’s what Vincent Rossi knows. His life has been one tough break after another. Even when good things happen, they get destroyed because that’s how the universe works. It gives and it takes, but it mostly takes.

No matter how terrible today is, there’s always the promise of tomorrow.


That’s what Annalise Cantana knows. She’s experienced tragedy and triumph in her life. The tragedy happened to her. It was beyond her control. The triumph is her spirit, which, despite the odds, remains unbroken.When this cynical man is hired to protect the woman who refuses to dwell on the negative, their lives become intertwined. Like opposing forces, Vincent and Annalise repel and attract until he is unable to resist the light she brings to each day. She thaws the ice in his veins and makes him smile. She cares about him in a way he doesn’t deserve.

But hidden beneath the closeness building between them lies a secret that could extinguish that light forever. It would devastate Annalise if she found out, and would unravel the hope Vincent finally dares to embrace.

In the end, he must make an impossible choice: hold tight to the first glimmer of happiness in his life, or forsake it all to save her and watch another dream turn to dust.

 

 

EXCERPT:

When I got out of the shower, I took my time brushing out my hair. Then I examined my knee, determined it was nothing worse than a bruise, pulled on my robe, and walked out to find Vincent sitting on the couch, looking like he wanted to murder me. My gaze swung from him to the door, which was closed, and the chain lying broken on the carpet.

“You broke in?”

“I used my key. Had to break the chain, though.”

“You have a key to my apartment?”

Vincent stood and stalked toward me. I stumbled back, and he caught me by the front of my robe, gripping it in his hand.

“You think this is a fucking joke?” He growled the question.

“No.”

“Then what? You like playing games?”

“I’m not playing games.” I tried to pull away, but he only tightened his hold.

“Then what is your fucking problem? I’m trying to protect you, and you lock me out in the hallway?”

“You’re my problem. I was scared, and when I tried to talk to you, you acted like I wasn’t even in the room. If I’m going to feel like I’m alone, I might as well be alone.”

Vincent looked at me as though he were seeing me for the first time today. We were both worked up, breathing hard, our faces only inches apart. I could feel his warm breath on my skin, and as he stared at me, the fire in his eyes flickered into something else. Remorse. Understanding.

“You’re not alone,” he said, his eyes holding me there, pinning me in place just as firmly as his hand gripping my robe.

As my anger faded, I became all too aware of his closeness. I could feel the heat coming off his body and smell the clean scent of his skin. His eyes searched mine, moving back and forth with a sheen of confusion, like he was caught up in a spell and didn’t know how to break it.

Then he leaned in closer, and my breathing hitched. I looked at his lips, so full and soft. When he licked them, my heart quivered in my chest. He wanted to kiss me. I felt it too strongly to be wrong. I wanted to kiss him too, and I longed for him to touch me.

His hand on my robe was so close to my skin. He only had to move the slightest bit and his fingers would brush the top of my breast. I imagined his hands on me, smoothing over my skin, and my core pulsed with desire. He moved even closer and I pulled in a quick breath of anticipation, but then his grip loosened and the heat coming off him disappeared.

About ALL I WANT IS YOU

You met them in DREAM A LITTLE DREAM OF ME. Now prepare to fall in love with THE YOUNGERS, a brand-new series from Iris Morland, full of sexy men, passionate women, and the love stories you can’t get enough of.

A brilliant, aloof lawyer, Phin Younger has focused solely on his career and on helping people less fortunate.

Living his life without romance? He’s just fine with that. Phin knows all too well how relationships make life messy and complicated.

Until the day Emily Lassiter begs Phin to help her teenage brother. Beautiful but as fierce as a lioness, Emily is like no other woman he’s met.

Suddenly, all of Phin’s plans to avoid romantic entanglements are thrown out the window the moment he sets eyes on Emily.

A former model, Emily now struggles to make ends meet for herself and for her teenage brother Josh. When Josh commits a crime that could put him behind bars for years, she turns to her brother’s court-appointed lawyer, Phin Younger, for help.

But Emily never expected that her brother’s lawyer would be young and handsome. And she definitely never expected that Phin’s kiss would heat a need inside her that soon transforms into a conflagration.

When these two can no longer deny their feelings for each other, an embittered rival of Phin’s threatens to destroy his career, dragging Emily into the scandal.

Now these star-crossed lovers must overcome the fears that hold them captive—or face a future without the love that could set them both free.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Nothing But Trouble, by Ashley Bostock

Nothing But Trouble
Ashley Bostock
Publication date: August 28th 2018
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Billionaire CEO Michael Vilander needed just one date. Creating a fake profile on his own matchmaking website may not have been his brightest move. But then Sophia Baldwin’s arresting face pops up on his CHAT NOW feature. Not only is she gorgeous, but after spending half the night exchanging messages with her, he finds her to be naive, innocent and way too sexy.

Twenty-four-year-old Sophia Baldwin is barely able to make ends meet. Caring for her sick grandmother prevents her from having a normal life—aspirations of attending college full-time to become a nurse are on the back burner—but then she meets the charming and dazzling Clint on an online dating site. When he asks her to the Denver Arts Foundation’s Annual Valentine’s Day Gala, she’s confident things are looking up.

Once Sophia learns that her hot date is none other than website mogul Michael Vilander, she’s definitely not mentioning her night job. What’s a lie by omission anyway? After all, it’s only one date…Until Michael’s ex flaunts her fancy engagement ring in Michael’s face and something compels Sophia to announce her and Michael’s engagement. AKA, fake engagement. They agree on one month to pretend they’re in love before all bets are off.

Pretending to be in love with a sweet and sexy billionaire, but not actually falling in love, ahem, how hard could it be?

Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3 Stars

This story is pretty standard fare, billionaire/virgin pairing. It is rather predictable and follows the format that we’ve all come to expect from the trope, but it just lacked that punch that had me anxiously awaiting for Michael and Sophie’s fauxmance to turn real.

There were parts that felt a bit choppy to me, and the dialogue between the characters came off as unnatural at times. I just didn’t fall in love with Michael and Sophie.

If you want a billionaire romance with a HEA, then this story is definitely worth checking out. But I didn’t find it to be one that I absolutely could not put down, and don’t see myself coming back for a reread.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Cover Reveal: Reckless Miles, by Claire Kingsley

Reckless Miles Cover.jpg

Reckless Miles by Claire Kingsley

Cover Design: Pink Ink Designs

Release Date: September 21, 2018

Synopsis:

I love being naked. Naked is awesome.” ~Cooper Miles 
 
Life used to be an endless party. I worked hard and played harder (as often as possible). But things change—people change—and lately the party life isn’t doing it for me. 

Enter Amelia. It isn’t every day that you meet a girl in a wedding dress in a bar. A girl whose life just took a sharp left turn she wasn’t expecting.  

Kissing her? It’s no big deal—totally just for fun. She’s had one hell of a day, and a little kissing lesson by Cooper is bound to make her feel better. Getting in a little dig at the dumbass who left her at the altar is a bonus. 

The invitation back to her hotel? That, I wasn’t expecting. 

Saying yes to her is reckless. Not because I’m a stranger to a one-night-stand. And not because she’s in a wedding dress, and the words this is my first time cross her lips. 

Saying yes to Amelia is reckless because she’s making me feel things I’ve never felt before—big things. Nothing scares me. But this girl? She might be magic, and I have no idea what to do with that.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Hot Heir, by Pippa Grant

 

Title: Hot Heir
Author: Pippa Grant
Genre: Sexy Romantic Comedy

 Release Date: August 31, 2018

Blurb

 

If I had to pick a bride of convenience, my first choice would NOT be
Peach Maloney.
My fiftieth choice would NOT be Peach.
Top spot on my list of occupational hazards? Yes. 
Royal pain in the ass?  Yes.
A bride of convenience? No.
But I’ve unexpectedly gone from royal bodyguard to monarch, having
inherited a crown that was stolen from my family long before my birth. The
kicker of this unexpected royal gift? In order to take the throne I must find a
wife.
Have I mentioned Peach would NOT have been my hundredth choice?
But I’ve no other options, and she needs a favor that my new position
can fulfill quite nicely. So we’ve agreed to play the doting newlyweds out in
public.
In private, though, our rules are simple:
No touching.
No talking.
And certainly no sex.
I should have known better than to marry a rule-breaking pain in the
arse.

 

ADD TO GOODREADS

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Pippa Grant expands the circle of friends in Hot Heir with a marriage-of-convenience story between bodyguard Viktor and sassy Southern Belle Peaches. Like every other book in this series. Pippa gives lots of charm, lots of awkward but hilarious moments, and two characters that you are cheering for from the get-go.

Royal bodyguard Viktor learns that he’s the heir to his own kingdom… but needs to be married. Peaches needs to retain custody of her teenaged sister, but the judge won’t give it to her unless she’s married. A marriage of convenience is born between the two completely opposite characters, but they are just so perfect together, they fit.

Even though Peaches and Viktor were peripheral characters in other books and I never imagined that they’d get their own stories… it just worked! I love this crazy group of characters that PG has created and I hope she continues to give us more!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Cover Reveal: Bottom Of The Ninth, by Kimberly Readnour

Release Date: September 27, 2018

Cover Design: Daqri Bernardo / Covers by Combs

 

Synopsis

 

Meet bad boy catcher, A.J. Gonzalez…

When I stood Mia up eight years ago, I never dreamed I’d run into her again. But here she is, making me look like a fool in front of thousands of fans.

The sweet, innocent girl never knew why I left. But I had my reason. A good one. In no way was I worthy enough for Mia Gunner. Today, grown up and hotter than ever, she’s still too good for me. But when she walks by, wearing those skin-tight leggings, that doesn’t stop me from wanting that taste I denied myself. And I get it.

Almost. 

It turns out; Mia isn’t through plotting her sweet revenge. Now, left in a not so compromising position, Mia won’t have anything to do with me.

That is until we find ourselves in another awkward situation. When I think life can’t get more complicated, Mia packs a few more surprises. And believe me, she may not be as timid as I once thought. 

I can’t help wanting her, but I need to stay away. Especially with our paths taking different courses. But I’ve never been one to back away from a challenge. It’s the bottom of the ninth. Time to score. I’ll either step to the plate or strike out. No matter what happens, this will definitely be a December I’ll never forget.

 

 

Goodreads

 

 

Excerpt

 

“Why the hell do I look like a half-naked lumberjack elf?” I snap the red suspenders against my bare chest and glance at the green velvet boy shorts. Red triangles, with actual gold jingle bells, trim the waistband. Fucking bells. But I don’t know which is worse—the redonkulous suspenders or the green felt elf shoes with pointed toes curling upward, capped with more damn bells. I jingle like a powder-puff princess cat every time I move.

“You look…cute?” Jax, my soon-to-be-former roommate says, suppressing a grin.

“Fuck you. Trade me costumes; I’ll be Mr. Fourth of July.”

He flanks my side, wearing red-and-white-striped pants and a matching patriotic hat. He’s like a beefed-up Uncle Sam. I don’t understand why I couldn’t have gotten that costume.

“No way, man. I’m not wearing that thing.”

“So much for helping a guy out.” The words no more than fall out of my lips when Mr. April, better known as Zach, our ace closer, walks by with a large pastel Easter egg tucked under his arm.

Zach stops midstride and sizes me up, the horror of my outfit reflecting in his bulging eyes. Perfect. His jaw drops, and he stands there gaping like a fish.

“Uh, I just… Yeah, MVP announcement party at my house. And I’ll”—Zach’s voice drops as his bunny paws carry him away—“stop complaining about my outfit.”

My blood boils. Sure, his silky boy shorts have tiny bunnies draped everywhere, but he pulls it off. I do a quick check of the other teammates and conclude I’m the only creepy one. When I agreed to be Mr. December, I thought a Santa Claus hat with sexy underwear would be my costume. Not this hideous contraption.

“Why the hell are we even here?” I grumble more to myself.

“You know why. Just grin and bear it.” Jax’s gaze roams along my outfit, and his lips press tightly together. Despite his best efforts, his shoulders start to shake, and a huge grin slowly stretches across his face. He snorts as he turns to leave and slaps my butt, the jingling sound drawing out the overdue laugh.

Bastard.

If Jax weren’t dating someone, I’d kick him in his nuts. His girlfriend may not like me much for that, though. Who I’d actually like to cock punch is Drake, our secondary catcher. Not only is the asshole vying for my spot on the team, but he’s the reason we’re here. His sister organized this fiasco disguised as a photo shoot.

I bite back a swear word. Yeah, the Ass Award goes to me for complaining. The calendar—the reasoning behind the photos—is for a good cause. I mean, it’s kind of hard to be upset when all proceeds go toward St. Claire Children’s Cancer Research Hospital. And that is the reason certain teammates agreed to stay in town a few days longer. Back-to-back World Series wins make for two long seasons, and everyone’s ready to return to their homes, families, and normal offseason lives.

With a deep breath, I look up to the ceiling to calm myself. It works. The metal I-beam framework pulls my attention away from myself, and I get lost in the architectural design. For an old abandoned warehouse, the building isn’t in bad shape, but it doesn’t take long before martial arts fight scenes flit through my mind. Blame the lackluster lighting and open-floor plan, but any minute, I swear ninja warriors will pop out from their hiding spots and spring into action.

I shake my head. I may need to cut back on the Kung Fu flicks on the El Rey Network.

Our right fielder walks by, and his chortle tramples upon my peaceful zen. Fuck! Charity or not, I look like a freaking creeper elf.

“This calendar better bring in tons of money,” I mumble beneath my breath.

“Oh, it will. Don’t worry.”

My back muscles tighten, causing me to stand straighter. That voice. That familiar voice glides over my skin and awakens every repressed give-a-shit feeling while simultaneously bringing forth every ounce of unworthiness. It’s been too long since I relished that sound. The sweet voice that made me cave and lowered my guard even if it was temporary.

I turn to face the woman I never dreamed of seeing again and force myself not to stumble. The sight of her hits me like a base runner colliding into me at home plate—sharp and painful but somehow satisfying. An eyebrow disappears beneath her blonde bangs as if challenging me to recognize her. How could I not? Of all the stupid things I’ve done—and believe me, there have been a lot—my treatment toward her has been my biggest regret.

But here she is in the flesh, standing in front of me with those electric blue eyes. How? Why? Confusion swirls in my brain before the synapses finally accept the charge and I utter a single word.

“Cupcake?”

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Unwritten Law, by Eden Finley

Release Date: September 5, 2018

Cover Design: Angsty G

 

Synopsis

 

Being an identical twin doesn’t come without issues. 

No one can tell us apart, not even our parents sometimes. We don’t usually use that to our advantage, but it comes in handy when my brother needs help breaking up with his boyfriends—which happens more than I’d care to admit. I know it’s enabling him, but I can’t say no to Anders. I will do anything for my twin. The breakups always go the same; they’re swift and simple.

Until Reed.

He’s everything I’ve fantasised about but never allowed myself to have. When I give in to temptation and begin to freak out, it’s not because he’s a guy. It’s because he thinks I’m my brother, and I can’t bring myself to tell him the truth.

 

 

Goodreads

 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

 

I had some issues going into this book because the ENTIRE story is set upon a lie. And I get that the mistaken identity between Law and his twin is the basis for what brings he and Reed together, but I generally have issues with betrayals like that in stories. Law had so many opportunities to come clean with Reed, and he didn’t.

That said… this was actually quite enjoyable. I don’t read many M/M romances (no particular reason), but I definitely liked the romance that unfolded between the main characters. Law is struggling to make peace with what he’s feeling, and has lived his life kind of closeted because of his twin. The relationship between Law and Anders is so co-dependent and dysfunctional in many ways (even though it is all done out of love and protection), so it was a nice journey that the brothers went on in learning how to live their lives apart from one another.

I really liked Reed as well. He was understandably devastated by Law’s betrayal, but he wasn’t totally up front about things either. So I was glad that he didn’t hold the lie over Law’s head for very long.

Eden Finley is an Amazon bestselling author who writes steamy contemporary romances that are full of snark and light-hearted fluff. 

She doesn’t take anything too seriously and lives to create an escape from real life for her readers. The ideas always begin with a wackadoodle premise, and she does her best to turn them into romances with heart.

With a short attention span that rivals her five-year-old son’s, she writes multiple different pairings: MM, MMF, and MF. 

She’s also an Australian girl and apologises for her Australianisms that sometimes don’t make sense to anyone else.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Flirting With Forever, by Kendall Ryan

 

 

I’ve waited years for the perfect girl, yet she was right in front of me all along.

My best friend, Natalie, has been by my side through everything. Leaning on my shoulder, borrowing my sweatshirts…and making my pants too tight when she flashes me that sassy smile that drives me crazy.

But she has no idea about that last part. She doesn’t have a clue I’ve felt this way about her for years.

Until one night after too many cocktails, we fall into bed together.

I’m flirting with my forever…she just doesn’t know it yet.

This book is a sexy, slow-burning best-friends-to-lovers romance with a guaranteed HEA and no cheating. Dive in, and get ready to melt for Cam!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

I read Flirting With Forever in the car today while driving home from vacation and it checked all the boxes for a feel-good friends-to-lovers story.

It’s a slow burn between Camden and Natalie, but the developing feelings they both have are complicated by the third best friend, Jake, and how neither of them want to ruin the Three Amigos thing they have going on.

I was expecting some big conflict or blowout to occur since there is a third friend somewhat involved, but this book was surprisingly drama-free. Both main characters are likable, they don’t do anything wild and crazy that turned me off, and they didn’t play games with one another. Flirting With Forever is exactly the kind of feel-good best friends romance I love. Another great story from Kendall Ryan!
