Blog Tour: Sunny Shelly Reviews Four Day Fling, by Emma Hart

blogtour.jpg

Four Day Fling, an all-new hilarious and romantic standalone from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Emma Hart is available NOW!

FOURDAYFLING3

Imagine this.

You’re ready to leave after a one-night stand, and you’re figuring out how to—shock horror—leave your number and ask him to be your fake boyfriend for your sister’s wedding this weekend.

When he wakes up.

Well, that happened to me. And over coffee and omelets, I found myself a date.

Which was how I ended up arriving at the wedding with a guy I knew nothing about.

I didn’t know his last name, or how we met, or how long we’d been dating. I didn’t know where he grew up, what he’d majored in in college, or how many siblings he had.

I sure as hell didn’t know he was Adam Winters, hotshot hockey player, and not only my father’s favorite player, but my little nephew’s freakin’ idol.

Which means I’m in trouble. Big, big trouble.

My mother is suspicious, my sister is bridezilla on crack, and my grandpa will tell anyone who’ll listen about his time in Amsterdam’s Red Light District.

Four days.

I have to keep this up for four days, and then Adam and I can return to our regular lives, where we don’t have sex whenever we’re alone, and my family aren’t interrogating him over his intentions with me.

At least, that’s the plan.

And we all know what happens to those.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Don’t miss Four Day Fling! Fake relationship books can be hit or miss, but Four Day Fling is absolutely perfect! It’s funny, it’s witty, it’s full of great secondary characters, and the pull between Adam and Poppy is magnificent!

I love that the book opens the morning after a one-night-stand, and neither of them remember the other’s name. Things just get better from there when Poppy asks Adam to be her date to her sister’s wedding the following weekend — only to find out when she’s immersed them both into the crazy that he is the favorite hockey god of both her dad and nephew.

Every time I thought things couldn’t get more awkward — or more ridiculous with Poppy’s out of control family — they did! But none of it felt forced, despite the hella awkward situations Poppy finds herself in over and over again. There is a great flow to the storyline, and I was screaming at my kindle for these two to just confess the way they were really feeling before their four-day weekend was over.

Four Day Fling is a light and easy read, highly entertaining and full of laugh-out-loud moments. Don’t miss this one! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Beyond The Bases, by Kaylee Ryan

 

Title: Beyond the Bases
Author: Kaylee Ryan

Genre: New Adult

Release Date: July 31, 2018

 

Blurb
What happens when you want more in life than just running
the bases? 

You hang out at home plate and stop playing the field.



He’s sexy and irresistible. I’ve done my best to ignore the
magnetism that flows between us. I don’t need complications in my life. I can’t
get wrapped up in his world, the last thing I need is to get attached to a
professional athlete. I don’t have time for heartbreak.



Something about her pulls me in. I want to get to know her. I want a chance to
show her I’m more than just my career, my paycheck. I’m the man for her. I know
I am. No matter how much she resists this connection between us. It doesn’t
change the fact that she’s my grand slam.

 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Beyond The Bases was such a cute — if not predictable — story. If you are looking for a cheery, low-angst, feel-good romance, then definitely check this one out!

Widowed single mom Larissa is trying to hold it together, between working, finishing school, and raising her precocious 4 year old, Paisley. When she meets pro baseball player Easton, she’s attracted to him, but doesn’t have room in her life for the complications that a relationship bring. But Easton is immediately smitten with Larissa, and sets out to prove to her that he may play baseball and be one of Tennessee’s most eligible bachelors, but he is not a player.

Their relationship develops at a nice pace, with no outside drama involved. Easton falls as much in love with Princess Paisley as he does her mom, and I loved the parallels between his childhood and his relationship with Larissa. The best part about this book were the multiple epilogues, giving us a look at the family’s HEA years and years and years later.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

The first time I met Ian Kemp in the sparkling blue waters of St. Thomas, I was six years old and we shared a summer beneath the stars.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Moore Than A Feeling, by Julie A. Richman

 

Just when you thought there wasn’t any MOORE…

From USA Today bestselling author Julie A. Richman, comes a companion title to her Needing Moore series, MOORE THAN A FEELING. Order your copy of MOORE THAN A FEELING today!

 

About MOORE THAN A FEELING:

“Holly and Aiden broke up? Seriously? No way. Not those two.” 

Dumped. 
No, not only dumped.
Blindsided and dumped. 

I thought that Aiden McManus was my forever, my soulmate,
That was until he told me he was still in love with his ex.

I didn’t want to believe him.
So, I convinced myself that our break-up was because of his upcoming deployment,
and not because he didn’t love me.
Believing that, helped me get through those first months.

But after a while, I realized I just might be lying to myself.
And it was time to move on…

So, I moved on. Or tried to move on, anyway.
But that didn’t work out so well for me, either.
And it practically got me disowned from my family.

After that, I finally started to get my life back together,
I had everything back under control…
…Or so I thought.

Until I found out Aiden was back 

And now he’s everywhere I turn,
Still pushing me away,
telling me he doesn’t want me.

But every time he calls me Angel or reaches out to touch my cheek,
I know what he’s not admitting to himself –
He still loves me.

And I’m going to prove it to him. 

 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

This was a great follow-up to Richman’s Something Moore series. Although the main focus of the book is Schooner’s daughter, Holly, and her split and reconciliation with beau Aiden, we also get to catch up with Schooner and Mia, and see how they have settled into their second chance together a few years later.

Blindsided when she’s dumped by Aiden, Holly is heartbroken and spirals a bit out of control. As she tries to piece her life back together, she makes some dumb choices. But will they chance the course of her life?

Aiden is stuck in a terrible position, and did the wrong thing for the right reason. But he clearly still loves Holly, and there is a lot of push and pull between the two of them as they try to hammer out their differences, deal with their baggage and heal their fractured relationships — not just he relationships with one another, but within themselves.

While there were a few sections that dragged a bit, I felt that Moore Than A Feeling was an enjoyable second chance romance. I loved catching up with the Moore family!! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Until We Are Gone, by Gia Riley

Until We Are Gone, an all-new
Standalone Emotional Romance by Gia Riley is NOW LIVE!!

 

I wanted a family with Cash.We had dreams –building a house, kids, a dog, and, yes, even the white picket
fence.

Or so I’m told.

I don’t remember anything about my husband. Not the wedding or the vows we
shared.

The past ten years were erased and with time, they’re supposed to come back.

But this isn’t your typical case of amnesia

What if I’m not supposed to remember?

What if I was meant to forget?

Maybe I don’t want my old life back.

Because if the accident hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have uncovered the truth.

Losing my memory wasn’t tragic.

Losing my memory was fate.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3.5 Stars

What do you do when you wake up one day and all of your memories of the past decade are gone? In Until We Are Gone, Meadow is suffering from amnesia after a devastating car accident. She’s struggling to come to grips with her new reality, and the fact that her memories aren’t returning. As a result, she turns to the bottle, and her alcoholism just drives her further into a hole she can’t claw her way out of. And no matter how hard her devoted husband, Cash, tries to help his wife, their marriage may just be too fractured, too broken.

In addition to Meadow’s struggle with addiction, Until We Are Gone is a romantic suspense that a lot of plot twists. So many plot twists that the story is completely upended, and the reader is given an entirely new perspective to the situation.

So why only 3.5 stars? In the end, I ultimately had too many questions and felt like there were too many loose ends. The big reveal fell rather flat after all that build-up, and I thought it deserved more attention than that. It left me feeling rather unsatisfied by the time I finished the last page.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Now Live: Handle With Care, by Nina Croft

HWC_RELEASE BLITZ

“Heat, heart and plenty of happy sighs.”

— Avery Flynn, USA Today bestselling author

Handle with Care, an all-new sexy and emotional second chance romance from Nina Croft is LIVE!

2018-0682 Nina Croft b01

Synopsis

What if all you want is the one thing you can’t have?

First grade teacher Emily Towson always does the right thing. The sensible thing. But in her dreams, she does bad, bad things with the town’s baddest boy: Tanner O’Connor. But when he sells her grandmother a Harley, fantasy is about to meet a dose of reality.

And then he goes and calls her “sensible”…

Tanner can’t believe sweet Emily is standing in his shop. Yelling and waving her hands and looking so god damn sexy he’s having trouble focusing. He’d spent two hard years in prison, with only the thought of this “good girl” to keep him sane.

He really should send her away…

Before either one thinks though, they’re naked and making memories on his tool bench with apparently the oldest condom in history. Now Tanner’s managed to knock-up the town’s “good girl” and she’s going to lose her job over some stupid “morality clause” if he doesn’t step up.

But can this bad boy teach his good girl they’re perfect for each other in time?

About Nina:

Growing up in the cold, wet, north of England, Nina Croft spent a lot of time huddled under the blankets dreaming of faraway sunnier places and ponies. When she discovered both could be found between the covers of a book, her life changed forever.

At the age of eighteen, in an attempt to turn dreams into reality, she headed south in search of the sun. She quickly picked up the perfect husband along the way, and developed a taste for red wine and holidays in warm places.

Soon holidays weren’t enough, and together they volunteered to work in Africa where they both discovered a love of traveling and a dislike of 9-5 work. Afterward they spent a number of years travelling (whenever possible) intermingled with working (whenever the money ran out.) Eventually they stumbled upon a remote area in the mountains of southern Spain where they bought the small almond farm they now call home.

No electricity, no neighbors, no chocolate shops, but on the plus side, stunning scenery, a vineyard to make her own red wine, and far enough away from anywhere to satisfy Nina’s hermit tendencies. She shares the farm with her husband, and an ever increasing number of animals, including Piggles, a three-legged Vietnamese pot-bellied pig.

Nina now spends her days riding her mare Gencianna under the blue Spanish skies—sunshine and ponies. She reckons this is proof that dreams really can come true if you want them enough.

She still travels, but usually only in her imagination, and can often be found lying under a fig tree, wine in hand, plotting stories of love in faraway places.

Nina believes love can come to anyone, anytime, anywhere and her books reflect this.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Whole Lotta Frogs, by Samantha Harris

 

 

Title: Whole Lotta Frogs
Author: Samatha Harris
Genre: Standalone Romantic Comedy
Release Date: June 19, 2018

 

Blurb
My name is Lennox Brooks and I’ll admit, I’ve made a lot of mistakes. I
don’t take the big risks, I cover my insecurities with snark, I’ve shown my
crazy a few more times then I would’ve liked, and I’ve been trying, and failing
at love pretty much since I first grew tits.
Weirdos, Mama’s boys, the over-coiffed, and underwhelming, I’ve been
out with them all, just read my blog. I’ve got horror stories that would curl
your toes and singe your nose hairs, but none of them compare to the toad who
started it all, Ellis Walker.
He was the boy next door, the charming, infuriatingly gorgeous one who
broke my heart and disappeared without a trace. Now he’s back and determined to
throw my life into chaos, dredging up painful memories just when things were
getting good.
But the thing is there are always two sides to every story.
I’ve spent the better part of my life hating him for everything he put
me through, but without that resentment clouding my judgment how will I ever
resist him?
Love is complicated, appearances are deceiving, and sometimes you have
to kiss a whole lotta frogs before finding your prince.

 

Sunny Shelly’s Review

Absolutely Adorable! It takes Lennox kissing a whole lot of frogs to find her Prince Charming… and it turns out, he was right in front of her all along!

Lennox and Ellis were childhood best friends, until they got to high school and he began to pick on her, spread rumors about her, tell the other boys to stay away from her, etc. Still, he asked her to prom and she accepted. Only to be stood up as she was standing on her grandmother’s front porch, waiting for the boy next door to take her on a magical date that never came.

Shortly after, Ellis leaves town (Clifton, NJ!) and they lose touch. Until the day he moves back home and is suddenly everywhere she turns. Lennox wants nothing more than for Ellis to leave her alone, but his perception of their friendship is a VERY differernt one — and he’s determined to win her back.

Things get a little complicated when Lennox starts dating Ellis’ business partner, Sawyer, but she’s still in complete denial about her feeligns for Ellis. My heart absolutely broke for Ellis during that fight scene on the sidewalk. He was about as vulnerable as you can get, yet she still stomped on his heart and walked away from him. It all leads to a spectacular moment of recognition, apology and forgievness.

One of the things I loved most about this story is how it focuses on the personal relationships between not only Ellis and Lennox, but Lennox’s friends as well. The secondary characters are just as strong as the hero/heroine. And it wasn’t until I was finished with the book and came back to it several hours later that I realized the sexy times all happened off-scene. We see some kisses and we’re told that they’ve slept together — and while I normally HATE being TOLD something in a story rather than SHOWN IT, it didn’t even occur to me while reading this story. SH created a wonderful world with her words, and I didn’t even notice it was missing!

Overall, Whole Lotta Frogs is excellent binge read mateiral. I reveived an advanced copy and voluntairly left a review.

Excerpt
I got ready in a fury and reread Ellis’s invasive text three times while
I fixed my hair and makeup, shaking my head each time and fighting back a
smile.
I still hadn’t answered when I started walking the six blocks to Sawyer’s
apartment. I’d barely stepped off the stoop of my building when my phone rang.
“You never answered my question,” Ellis said.
My lips curled up at the corners. “Of course, I didn’t.”
“Why not?”
“Because it’s none of your business.”
“Len, your nudity is absolutely my business.
In fact, I’m the CEO of that luscious body and I’m a hands-on kind of leader.”
I shook my head, unable to hold back my smile any longer. “Wow, you
managed to turn a creepy text into an even creepier metaphor. Kudos to you.”
Ellis laughed. “Are you?”
“Am I what?”
“Naked,” he said. “I’m about the hop in the shower and I need a visual
to, you know, help me finish the job.”
“You’re unbelievable.”
“Unbelievably sexy you mean.” I could hear the grin in his voice.
“Whatever.”
“Seriously, though,” he said. “What are you up to?”
“Well.” I took a deep breath, the ice-cold air burning my nose. “If you
must know, Sawyer offered to make me dinner. I’m on my way to his place.”
“Really?” he asked. “Great!”
I stopped short on the sidewalk my feet frozen to the pavement. People
around me grunted their disapproval and moved around me as I stood glued to the
concrete.
“Great?” What happened to throwing his hat in the ring?
“Yeah. I’m starved; I’ll meet you there in ten.”
“You can’t be serious.”
“I love his food—man, that guy can cook. Best decision I ever made, going
into business with him. Even if he’s trying to steal my woman.”
“Ellis!” I shouted into the phone. An elderly woman pulling a grocery
cart behind her glared at me for my outburst. I mouthed my apologies to her
then returned to my phone. “So help me God if you show up at Sawyer’s…”
“What’s the big deal? I’m friends with him. He’s friends with you. We can
all have dinner together, it’ll be fun.”
“You aren’t invited.”
“Oh, Len, I’m hurt. I thought we were moving forward. We’re friends,
aren’t we?”
I sighed. “Yes, we’re friends.”
“And friends sometimes eat together?” I groaned, not liking the route
this conversation was taking. “Sawyer and I are friends, which I expect might
change when I tell him how I feel about you. Oh, what the hell—we’ll just leave
him out of this and you and I will just go ourselves.”
“Smooth, Ellis,” I said. “Real smooth.”
“I am pretty smooth if I do say so myself. Not to mention devastatingly
handsome, and moderately charming.”
“Only moderately?” I asked.
“Yes, but don’t worry; I grow on you.”
I took a deep breath to calm my nerves and closed my eyes. “Please tell
me you are not going to show up this evening.”
Ellis laughed. “Relax. I won’t be interrupting your little dinner.”
“Thanks.” I checked the address and looked up at Sawyer’s building. The
door to which was sandwiched between a dry cleaner and a greasy pizza place.
“I’ve got to go. I’ll talk to you later.”
“Okay,” he said. “Lennox?”
“Yeah.”
He didn’t say anything right away. I just stood there, the cold wind
biting at my fingertips.
“Don’t—,” he started, his voice sounding almost pained.
“Don’t, what?”
I stood there listening to him breathe on the other end.
“Nothing.” He sighed.
I groaned and rolled my eyes. “Bye, Ellis.”

Blog Tour: Sunny Shelly Reviews Rebel Heart, by L.K. Farlow

 

 

Rebel Heart by LK Farlow

Release Day: July 26th

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Cover Designer: Jersey Girl Design

 

 

BLURB

She wants to see him get wild and he thinks she needs Jesus.

When AJ Adams is coerced into tutoring Brock Larson, she can’t help but wonder what she’s done to deserve such an epic punishment. He’s the very definition of an All-American good boy—and a total kiss ass. He’s the perfect son, the perfect student, and according to rumor, by far the best golfer the university has ever seen. Puh-lease. If he’s so perfect, why does he need tutoring?

With his British Literature grade circling the drain, Brock knows he needs help. But when he meets his tutor, he can’t believe his friggin’ luck. Abby Jane no longer resembles the childhood best friend he used to play hide and seek with. No, she’s all attitude and pink hair and tattoos. Oh, and she hates him, so that’s a plus.

Brock and AJ couldn’t clash more and antagonizing one another is just too easy. But, as they spend more time together, the lines begin to blur, leading them to realize they have more in common than what meets the eye.

Hate. Lust. Love. They all look the same when you’re in denial, and everyone knows you can’t control your rebel heart.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

 

I love that the rebel in rebel heart is the heroine, spunky, sassy AJ, and the “good one” is the hero, Brock. These days, they can’t stand one another, but there was a time when they were best friends.

AJ has rebelled against all of the trappings of her youth, refusing to become another socialite. Brock, meanwhile, is the typical boy next door who does everything that his rich dad asks of him. Even if he is putting his own wants to the side in order to make Dad happy. When AJ and Brock’s paths cross on a college campus, she is not at all ready for her past to clash with her present, and it makes for a combustible story since Brock is the only one around who knew her back when.

Abby Jane is a spitfire, and the antagonistic relationship with Brock is one that you just know is going to lead to something spectacular once they get over themselves. And it does. This story was a bit predictable, but a solid YA romance with likable, relatable characters. It was a super fun read that I’ll keep on my re-read shelf.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Dr. Fellatio, by Stella

Title: Dr. Fellatio
Author: Stella
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: July 30, 2018
Women hire me, pay me an exorbitant amount of money, to teach them the art of…oral stimulation. I’m what people have referred to as a “professional blower.” 
 
In college, it was a great way to make money, needing the extra cash to get me through school. By the time I graduated, I saw the potential to earn more than my degree would ever be able to offer me. 
 
I had a good run…until my ex’s new girlfriend hired me to teach her how to please him. 
 
Or so I thought.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Another great collaboration from Leddy Harper and Steffie Walls writing as Stella! Dr. Fellatio was the best kid of second-chance-romance. Lexi and Chris thought that they’d be together forever, and even when they agreed to pause their relationship while he was away at grad school, they truly believed they’d be together again in a year or two. Except that life happens, and the best laid plans often go awry.

I loved that both of them remained faithful to one another and there was no other man/other woman drama involved in them getting back together. Just a lot of mistaken identies as Lexi’s alter ego, Dr. Fellatio, is teaching what she thinks is Chris’ girlfriend (but is actually just his roommate!) how to give good head. Using techniques that Chris taught her back when they were dating in college. AWK. WARD!

This book is all kinds of funny. But what I really loved is how Lexi and Chris get back together, amd how his executive position in the company works against them at first. He does not give up when it comes to winning Lexi back, and the choices they make now are more mature than the ones that led to their evenutal split a few years ago. The supporting characters are some of the most awesome book friends I’ve seen in a long time, and they are such a support system for both Lexi and Chris. I guessed by the epilogue that Carl and Jasmine’s story might be next, but the book I really want to read is CeeCee and Christopher’s!!!!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

“Stella has done it again! Just when you think there is no way she can outshine her last book, SHE DOES! An absolute, must read!” Cheryl Roberts, Goodreads

 

“You have phenomenal writing that sets up so many awkward moments. From page one to the end you have a stellar five star read.” Red Hatter Book Blog

Best Selling Authors Leddy Harper and Stephie Walls met on a street corner in Savannah, Georgia in 2015, where they quickly formed a bond over book boyfriends and cheap wine. 
After discovering the two best friends shared a brain, their alter ego, Stella was born. After all, when you put two romance authors together…you’re gonna get something Stella!
