Sunny Shelly’s Review: Last Chance To Fall, by Kelsey Kingsley

sunnyshellyreadsLeave a comment

Title: Last Chance to Fall

Series: Kinney Brothers #3

Author: Kelsey Kingsley

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: May 28

“You look at me like I’m the last woman in the world.”
“And what if you are?”

While his twin brother was taking risks and making mistakes, Sean Kinney set out to be “the good son,” selling mattresses in River Canyon’s only department store, because well… Nothing is scary about mattresses, is there?
After meticulously plotting out his life, Sean never thought a woman could fit into the plan, never thought he could be so reckless with his heart, despite his jealousy toward the love his brothers have found—the women they call home.
But when the strikingly beautiful and equally careful Lindsey Molloy walks into his life after setting her mattress on fire, something in his practiced routine shifts. Before he realizes what’s happening, he’s taking risks, taking chances, all for her, and he begins to wonder…
Could she be exactly what he needs to break his habits?
Could she be his home?

 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Last Chance To Fall is the third book in the Kinney Brothers series and what a sweet romance it is! Sean is the “good boy” of the bunch — he was always hesitant to take risks and played it safe because his brothers were always risk-takers.

Lindsay is also a play-it-safe girl, but her world is flipped upside down when she catches her ex cheating on her in their bed. She gets fired up (literally!) by burning their mattress, which leads her to meeting Sean. There’s an immediate connection, but they are both hesitant to jump into a relationship. Instead, they agree to spend a week pushing boundaries and stepping outside of their comfort zones. Doing the opposite of what they would normally do. And a beautiful relationship blossoms. Sean is such a sweet soul, a total romantic. This story is sexy and sweet, and an all-around feel good read.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review for Sunny Shelly Reads book blog.

When I was a wee lassie, I was told by my preschool teachers that I was a natural at storytelling. When I was just a little older than that, an old friend’s mother said to me, “Kelsey, one day your books are going to be on the shelves at the library.”

Well, Diane, I don’t know if my books are ever going to be on the shelves of libraries, but I’m sure as hell going to try.

When I’m not writing stories destined to be bestsellers, I enjoy devouring TV shows, listening to every type of music there is and going to concerts, reading pretty much anything (with a soft spot for romance and certain books located in 18th century Scotland), obsessing over makeup, and pretending to workout.

I also have a fondness for cats, my family, tattoos, and a really good French fry.

My cottage backs onto woodland, and there’s a path leading through it. Birdsong and the scent of blackberries fills the air. I let Toby off his leash and he immediately starts foraging for anything edible… wild fruit being his favourite snack.

I leave him to it and stride on ahead, knowing he’ll catch up in good time. Soon I come to a glade where the trees have been thinned out. Oh shit, standing in the middle of the clearing is Daniel. He’s bare-chested and dressed in running shorts, doing stretching exercises braced against a fallen tree trunk.

I slow my footsteps, treading quietly on mouldy old leaves, and rake my gaze over him. His thick almost-black hair is dripping sweat; it falls down his face and the back of his solid neck. His beard is unkept and wild-looking. But it’s his powerful body that mesmerises me and I study the tats on his muscular arms, tempted to get closer for a better look. God, he’s beautiful, I suddenly realise. Beautiful but freaking scary at the same time.

I release a slow breath. Stop it, Cat. You shouldn’t be looking at him that way. The man in front of you is a brute. You need to keep your distance from him.

Slowly, my heart pounding against my ribcage, I turn around and prepare to make my way back down the path. Except, Toby comes bounding up and starts to bark.

Dammit!

Daniel freezes on the spot. His eyes crash into mine, and if I was scared before now I’m practically peeing myself. He straightens himself to his full height, still glaring at me, not saying a word.

Toby keeps barking, but he’s also wagging his tail. I grab hold of his collar and fasten the lead. “Sorry to disturb you.” I bite at my lips. “We’ll get out of your way.”

He arches an eyebrow. “So, you weren’t following me?”

“Oh, God, no. We were just going for a walk.”

I’m still staring at his tats, trying to decipher the intricate patterns. He catches my gaze, and I feel my face burning up.

“Get on with your walk, then,” he says through gritted teeth. “Leave me alone.”

My fingernails dig into the palms of my hands. “No need to be bad-mannered.”

He crosses his arms in front of his broad chest and lets out an edgy laugh.

“You are a prick,” I spin around, “the rudest man I’ve ever met.”

He laughs again and keeps laughing mockingly as I stride off down the pathway, Toby at my heel

Now Live: Cross, by Adriana Locke

Title: Cross
Series: The Gibson Boys #2.5

Author: Adriana Locke

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: May 25, 2018
Blurb
Cross Jacobs was a screw-up.Everyone knew it, especially him, and the point was hammered home when Kallie
Welch drove herself right out of his life.

But, she’s back.

Seeing Cross wasn’t on Kallie’s to-do list. She didn’t think she could avoid
him forever but trying never hurt anyone. One minute she’s standing by herself
and the next she’s accosted by a rich, velvety scent that could only belong to
one man: Cross.

At face value, he’s divine. All rugged and confident with a smile that melts
her right where she’s standing. It doesn’t take long to find him to be
charming, witty, and the owner of a few legitimate businesses. Not at all like
the mischievous boy she left.

He laughs and her heart flutters. With a touch of his hand, she’s dizzy. She’s
fairly certain she’s going to die when he pulls her into an embrace and touches
his lips to her forehead.

It feels right. It feels so right.

But is it?

Note: This novella was originally released in
the Team Player Anthology last winter. It has been updated a bit with a few new
chapters to round out the story.

Excerpt
Chapter One
Cross
“Where have
you been in that thing?” Machlan shouts.
The roar of
his muscle car’s engine winds down and he clicks the transmission into park.
The purplish-black paint shines in the early afternoon sun.
Having just
backed out of a parking spot onto Main Street, I check my rearview mirror. No one
is coming. “Bluebird Hill,” I tell him. “After all that rain last night, I
figured I’d test the new tires Walker put on my truck last week.”
“You’re a
fuckin’ kid.” He laughs.
“Says the
man driving that,” I tease, pointing at his ride.
“I’m not
sure what your point is. This car is the baddest thing in town.” He punches the
gas, the motor roaring like a banshee.
Glancing
around at Doc Burns’ office with two cars in the parking lot and the Linton
County History Museum across the street that only opens for the Water Festival
once a year, I grin. “That’s not saying much.”
“Go to
Hell.” His hand slips through his dark hair and over his chin. The amusement in
his features evaporates as I watch … and cringe.
I know this
look. I know all of his looks, actually, a by-product of being his best friend
as long as I can remember. Many of them concern me and a lot of them worry me.
But this one? It’s a flashing red sign with Vegas-inspired lights.
The thing
is, I can’t just ignore it. When this look comes, so does the topic of my
sister and, even though I love the both of them, I wouldn’t mind seeing them in
a padded room until they fix whatever it is between them that is so broken.
With a
sigh, I jam my truck into park too. “Yes,” I say, answering the question he’s
yet to ask. “Hadley called and isn’t coming home this weekend. She said maybe
next week.”
His jaw
works back and forth as he stares down the street. “Why?”
That single
word is spit with a lifetime of emotion. Machlan has loved my sister since the
day she moved to Linton with our father and me when our mother died. She was
fourteen and innocent and he was fifteen and infatuated. Through the years,
they were off and on and together and not—at least officially. Everyone knew
Machlan and Hadley were one and the same.
I’m not
sure why she moved away from here. Being both her brother and his best
friend precluded me from certain information, which is for the best. They both
drive me nuts without having the
details.
“Not sure,”
I reply. “She left a voicemail last night saying she wouldn’t be home today.
She didn’t pick up when I called her back.”
He flips
his gaze to me. “You didn’t talk to her after that?”
“She’s a
big girl, Mach,” I mock. “I’m sure she had shit to do.”
“Yeah.” His
fingers regrip the steering wheel as his jaw goes back to work again.
“I’m gonna
go wash this before I head back to the gym—”
“She’s all
right, though. Right?” he interrupts. His face is stone-cold sober. “I mean …”
“She’s
fine.”
He waits.
Blinks. Re-grips the wheel again. “That’s it?”
Popping my
truck into drive, I blow out a breath. “Yeah, that’s it. You want to know more?
Call her. What a fucking amazing concept.”
“Yeah. I’ll
get right on that,” he snips back.
“You
should. Then you could quit this whole thing.”
“Got
nothin’ to quit, man. Just being a decent guy.”
A decent guy. It’s my turn to turn my knuckles white on the
steering wheel.
Machlan
isn’t a decent guy. He’s a fucking great one … much better than the guy Hadley
is seeing now. A guy I haven’t mentioned to Mach since I got home a couple of
weeks ago from visiting her. I’m not mentioning him, either. I’ll save the
boyfriend an ER bill and myself the bail money.
I can’t
blame him. It has to be hard to see Hadley with another guy when, in Machlan’s
mind, she’s his girl.
My stomach
twists like it always does when my mind goes down this road. At least my girl
didn’t bring other guys back with her. Hell, she didn’t even come back at all.
“Here comes
Kip,” Machlan says, bringing me out of my reverie. Nodding toward the road in
front of him, he laughs. “I’m not moving.”
I twist in
my seat to see the sheriff coming toward us. He blares the siren twice as if to
get us to move. We don’t.
Machlan
pokes his head out of the window. “Need somethin’?” he shouts.
Laughing, I
watch Kip’s car slide carefully between Machlan’s and the curb on the other
side.
“You can’t
park in the street!” Kip yells.
“What are
ya gonna do about it?” I holler.
“Take ya
both in.”
“Don’t you
have somewhere to be?” Machlan asks. “Someone to protect and serve? Or service, if I know you?”
Kip shakes
his head as Machlan flips him the bird. The sirens come on again before Kip
hits the gas and speeds off down the street and vanishes over the hill.
When I look
back at Machlan, his attention is on his phone.
“What?” I
ask, curious about the smile on his face.
He looks at
me and laughs. Sticking the phone in the cup holder, he shrugs. “Nothing. But
can you do me a favor?”
“No.”
“I need
help moving a couple of things at Crave. Come help me. Just for a few.”
“What’s in
it for me?” I ask.
“A beer?”
Throwing
the truck in neutral, I rev the engine. It barely sounds before his is
screaming over top of mine and we jet off in opposite directions. I get to a
stop sign at the end of the street and do a quick one-eighty to head to Crave.

Excerpt
He
circled the bike, standing in front of me, arms crossed over his chest. “What’d
you think of that lecture, mariposa?”
My
eyes slid to the side, the floor, the ceiling. A slow burn traveled up my neck,
settling on my cheeks. “It was… interesting, Freud, you know…” I laughed, a
weird, awkward, uncomfortable sound escaping my lips. God, I sounded like a
freak. Get it together, girl. Instead
of wringing my hands together, I pushed my glasses higher up on my nose.
Ricky
looked down at me, his eyes crinkling, and lips curved. “Interesting, huh?”
My
hands shot out to the sides, “I’m sure you know all about that stuff… the
stages and sex and… yeah.” I blew out a breath, my cheeks puffing, in what I
was sure was the sexiest look I’d managed to pull off yet. “I’ve only done some
light reading. That was new to me and frankly, a bit uncomfortable to hear
around you because of your general hotness and all.”
Did I say light reading?
General hotness?
Oh. My. God.
Ricky
threw his head back and chortled. “You are the cutest damn thing I’ve ever
seen.” His tongue darted out to lick his bottom lip. He took the paper and pen
from my hand, tossing them onto the floor. “I won’t touch you here. Although,
I’ll admit it’s probably my biggest fantasy, but you aren’t ready for that.”
Bending
down, he picked me up, his hands lifting under my ass until I wrapped my legs
around his waist. “You’re so tiny.” He smirked, his eyes focused on my lips.
I
took off my glasses, placing them on the metal tool shelf next to us. My body
shook, and I knew Ricky felt it when his grip on me tightened.
“I
won’t hurt you, mariposa. You have my
word that I’ll protect you. I’m not a good man, but I’ll be good to you.” He
looked into my eyes, his warm brown orbs like melted chocolate.
“You
are a good man. I wish you saw yourself like I see you.” My words pled, begging
him to hear me.
Closing
his eyes and shutting me out, he pressed his forehead to mine. “I need you,” he
whispered. “I’ve never needed anyone like I need you. You’re open and
vulnerable, kind and innocent. You’re unlike any girl I’ve ever met, and all I
want to do is learn more about you. Understand all the parts that make you
whole.”
His
words sounded stricken and raw, but I absorbed them, drawing them into my
heart. I didn’t know if he meant that he needed me physically or emotionally,
but either way I was his.
“I
need you, too.” I kissed his lips, a light sweet peck. “I’ve already learned
and grown from being near you. You’re strong and loyal. The way you take care
of your family has captivated me. And the way you make me feel is addictive.” I
kissed him again, longer, and he groaned, one hand pressing into my back and
one twisting in my hair.
My
mouth opened, tongue peeking out to find his. Meeting, touching, and tangling
as we moaned in unison. My hands sought his beautiful hair and I wrapped the
long strands around my fingers, hoping that I would weave myself into him, his
life, and his heart.
This
complicated, gorgeous man, that thought he didn’t deserve happiness or dreams
or good in his life.
I’d
had a glimpse inside, something I believed was a rarity. And Ricky deserved all
the beauty the world had to bring. I wasn’t sure I was the person who could
give that to him.
But
I sure wanted to try.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: We Are The Stars, by Teagen Hunter

sunnyshellyreadsLeave a comment
Title: We Are the Stars
Author: Teagan Hunter
Genre: NA Contemporary Romance
Release Date: May 24, 2018

 

There was no way I wasn’t going to fall for Carsen Wheatley. He came out of nowhere and we collided like stars in the night sky. It was fast and brutal. The buildup was slow and the burnout inevitable.

I never intended for him to be anything more than a summer fling, and he never thought of me as more than fleeting moments of happiness.

But the summer is only temporary, and so were we.

We are imperfect.
We are mismatched.
And we stand no chance against any of it.
Displaying blog_review.jpg

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

We Are The Stars is a good YA/NA story that teaches the lesson that you can’t believe everything you hear or read about someone. I easily read in on a weekend afternoon, in between parenting and adulting.

I love that Elliot calls Carsen “Scowly Face” — he just needs someone to believe in him and be his friend. Despite Carsen’s dark side, their relationship sweetly unfolds as she brings him out of his shell and he shares with her the truth behind all the rumors about him.

I also liked that both Carsen and Elliot are mature enough at one point to recognize what is wrong with their relationship, and both take the necessary steps to work on themselves before they find their way back to one another. I just wish that this was a full length story rather than a novella because it left me wanting more from this young couple!

Your Rhythm
Katia Rose
(Sherbrooke Station, #1)
Publication date: May 24th 2018
Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, Romance

You know what they say: save a snare, bang a drummer.

Kay Fischer is well aware of what they say, and she intends to ignore it completely.

After her first step into the world of music journalism ended with a screw-up so royal it deserved a crown, Kay’s been struggling to re-stack the building blocks of her career. Salvation comes in the form of Sherbrooke Station, the latest alt-rock craze to grace Montreal’s legendary music scene.

A front page feature on the band everyone’s talking about seems like a foolproof shot at success, even after Kay meets their drummer. Matt Pearson might have a smile sexy enough to be the eighth deadly sin and a passion for music so powerful it makes her heart ache, but Kay’s got things under control.

She’s a professional, goddammit, and a professional would not get tongue-tied over a source, even a source who’s a six-foot, tattooed rock god with an affinity for tight jeans.

A professional would not find herself opening her door at an hour long past midnight to pull said source inside and lead him to her bed.

No, that’s not at all what a professional would do.

EXCERPT:

Matt’s still propped against the edge of the bar when I reach him. The crowd is thinner over here and I get a good look at him from a few feet away: sandy undercut hair and an angular face, softened by full lips and just the right amount of stubble. He’s got the perfect features to pull off his eyebrow piercing, and while they’re currently covered by a navy blue coat, all my internet stalking has proved he’s got the perfect arms to pull off the collection of tattoos on both.

Eric the Surfer might have been hot in a general sense, but Matt Pearson is one hundred percent my type.

Did I just admit someone in Sherbrooke Station is my type?

“Hey,” I call sharply, hoping I can help myself deny that little revelation by acting annoyed with him. “Giving up that easy?”

He gives me a cautious glance and then shifts his eyes from side to side, like he’s making sure I’m really talking to him.

“On looking for me,” I elaborate. “I’m Kay Fischer.”

Now his dark eyes travel up and down the length of me in a completely unapologetic stare. He smirks when they reach mine again.

 

Author Bio:

Katia Rose is not much of a Pina Colada person, but she does like getting caught in the rain. She prefers her romance served steamy with a side of smart, and is a sucker for quirky characters. A habit of jetting off to distant countries means she’s rarely in one place for very long, but she calls the frigid northland that is Canada home.
