Blog Tour: Sunny Shelly Reviews Let Me Love You by Jessica Jayne

Let Me Love You
Jessica Jayne
Publication date: December 18th 2017
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Twenty-three year old Ren Haynes returns home after graduating college with two goals–start his engineering career and claim the heart of his parents’ thirty-one year old divorced neighbor, Stacey Williams.

Stacey is nursing her broken heart and shattered ego. Not only did her ex-husband have an affair, he got the woman pregnant. Picking up the pieces of her life isn’t easy, so when Ren taps into her need to feel desired again, she finds herself in a position she never imagined.

Can Ren help to rebuild her confidence and convince her that age is just a number?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3.5 Stars

Enjoyable older woman/neighbor romance from a new-to-me author. Ren has always had a bit of a crush on Stacey, but chalked it up to teenage hormones. When he comes back home after graduating college, however, and Stacey is now divorced, Ren sets out to show her that their age gap means nothing when it comes to what he feels in his heart.

After her husband left her for a younger model, Stacey is less confident about herself these days, and basks in Ren’s attention and affection. But when the initial glow wears off, she understandably starts to freak out about what his parents (who are friends of hers) will think. Can Ren convince Stacey that they are meant to be together?

The relationship between the characters is hot and sexy, and Let Me Love You is an enjoyable enough read. But I wish that there was more to the lead-up between Ren and Stacey. I felt like the reader was told about the connection they share more than I was shown it; that is a huge pet peeve of mine. But overall, this was rather quick May/December romance worth checking out.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Cover Reveal: More Than Crave You by Shayla Black

MTCY-SBPRBannerCR04 MoreThanCraveYouMore Than Crave You, an all-new sexy romance from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shayla Black is coming September 18th!

More Than Crave You by Shayla Black
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 18th
Designer: Rachel Connolly
Photographer: Sara Eirew

I’m Evan Cook—billionaire tech entrepreneur and widower. Professionally, I’ve got it all. But since my wife died, my personal life has fallen apart. Remarrying seems like the obvious answer, so I place an ad. I’m not asking for much. The ideal woman only needs to be smart, organized, pretty, and helpful—both in and out of bed. No romance, period. I never thought to look right in front of me…but it turns out that Nia Wright, my sexy, sassy assistant, just might be the perfect candidate.

After an unexpectedly hot night together, I’m ready to stop interviewing strangers and simply marry her. On paper, she ticks every box on my list. Best of all, she’s far too sensible to fall for me. I didn’t see the flaw in my logic until it was far too late. I never thought I’d lose my heart for the first time. And I definitely never imagined that she could consume me until I more than crave her. But she’s harboring a secret that could tear us apart—just as I’m finally putting myself together.

Blog Tour: Sunny Shelly Reviews Harper And The One-Night Stand by R. Linda

Title: Harper and the One-Night Stand
Author: R. Linda
Genre: NA Contemporary Romance
Editor: Lori Whitwam
Publisher: Limitless Publishing
Publication Date: April 10th, 2018
Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR
Blurb:
A few too many cocktails in paradise, and I woke up in someone else’s bed. My ex-boyfriend’s cousin’s bed, to be exact.
Huge mistake.
Nate and I agreed it wouldn’t happen again. We didn’t want to hurt Brody. Only it did happen, repeatedly, until I finally found the courage to walk away.
But I couldn’t ignore the temptation, and I soon found myself back in his bed—or on his floor—stealing secret kisses and forbidden touches, sneaking around behind everyone’s backs.
I tried so hard to resist Nate’s charms, but my resolved crumbled. How could I not be swept off my feet by water towers in the rain and deep confessions on the beach?
The last thing we want is to hurt anyone, but it is out of our control. And there isn’t a thing I can do except give him my heart and hope he keeps it safe…regardless of the consequences.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

One drunk night in paradise leads to Harper having a one-night stand with her ex-boyfriend’s cousin. But what happens in Fiji doesn’t stay in Fiji, because the one-night stand follows Harper and Nate home, and ends up causing all kinds of problems. Not only can they not keep away from one another, but Brody wants Harper back.

It’s messy. It’s complicated. It’s funny. And the premise is relatable enough that I didn’t feel like the plot was over-the-top.

This is the first book I’ve read by R. Linda, and it was quite enjoyable. Harper And The One-Night Stand is a standalone, but there were references to the previous books in the Scandalous Series that I didn’t completely understand since I have not read those stories. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

R. Linda drinks wine and writes books.
A coffee addicted, tattoo enthusiastic fangirl with a slight obsession for a particular British boy band and solo artist, she is a writer of Contemporary YA/NA Romance and Suspense, sometimes dabbling in Paranormal as well.
Renee lives in Melbourne, Australia with her husband and two sons. When not writing she can often be found reading books to her children and cuddling up with them on the couch to watch their favourite movies.

Cover Reveal: Manic Monday by Piper Rayne

ManicMonday-SBPRBANNER-CR

Manic Monday, an all-new hilarious and romantic standalone from Piper Rayne, is coming April 26th!

PRManicMondayBookCover5x8_BW_300

Title: Manic Monday

Authors: Piper Rayne

Publishing Date: April 26th

Cover Designer: RBA Designs

The perfect man for me is a blood-sucking lawyer. #pfftwhatever

Been there.

Done that.

Burned the T-shirt.

I didn’t swear off all men after my divorce, but I sure as hell swore off anyone remotely like my ex. On the top of that list? Attorneys. Everyone knows they can’t be trusted.

Now that I’m back in Chicago, my focus is my daughter, my mom and me. I haven’t given up on finding my happily-ever-after, it’s just on hold—indefinitely.

Then I see Reed Warner again, and he weasels his way into every part of my life, not willing to take no for an answer.

In spite of my better judgment I can’t stop thinking about the way his designer suits fit his muscular frame, or the way his blue eyes seem to eat me up with every glance.

You know when you’re on a diet and even hummus seems irresistible? Reed is like the equivalent of chocolate éclair and my willpower is fading fast.

The problem? Not only is he a lawyer…

He was the best man at my wedding.

Preorder Blitz: Royal Mess by Jenna Sutton is Coming Soon

Do you have royal fever? Us too! You don’t want to miss ROYAL MESS by Jenna Sutton – find out more below and preorder your copy today!

 

About ROYAL MESS

Available May 8th

From award-winning author Jenna Sutton comes the story of two princes who discover that falling in love is messy…

Prince Leo’s icy demeanor has earned him an amusing nickname—the Polar Prince. Unfortunately, the king doesn’t see the humor. If Leo wants to secure the throne of Alsania, he must improve his image. Participating in an organ donation campaign seems like a good start. He expects to donate his organs on his deathbed, so he’s surprised to be matched with a complete stranger who needs his help now.

Tessa Lulach hates to admit it, but she’s a damsel in distress. When a handsome prince offers to save her with a hunk of his liver, she joyfully accepts. She can’t wait to feel like herself again and return to her beloved flower shop. Instead, her identity is revealed, and the quiet life she loves is turned upside down.

As Leo and Tessa deal with the nosy public and ruthless paparazzi, she realizes the Polar Prince is much warmer than he seems—scorching hot, in fact. He willingly gave her a part of his liver, but can he give her his whole heart?

*****

Everyone loves Prince Marco of Alsania, despite his reckless antics … or maybe because of them. So why does sexy schoolteacher Cassie Lulach prefer a boring investment banker over him? Wounded by her indifference, he has an erotic encounter with a masked woman at a royal ball who reminds him of the one he really wants.

After another failed relationship, Cassie is frustrated with immature, inconsiderate guys. Wanting to escape reality, she attends a masquerade ball and finds herself alone with a masked stranger. For the first time in her life, she acts on impulse, only to end up pregnant and absolutely clueless about the identity of her baby’s father.

When Marco learns of Cassie’s pregnancy and her plans to raise the baby alone, he promises to be there for her, hoping she’ll finally see him as more than just a playboy prince. But then he discovers she’s the woman from the masquerade ball and panics. Will the truth destroy his chance to win over Cassie, or will he convince her that they can have their own happily ever after?

Cover Reveal: Wanting Mr. Cane by Shanora Williams

SBPRBANNER-WantingMrCane-CR.jpg

Wanting Mr. Cane, an all-new romantic STANDALONE from Shanora Williams is coming June 7th!

Wanting-Mr-Cane-PRINT-FOR-WEB.jpg

Wanting Mr. Cane by Shanora Williams

Release Date: June 7th, 2018

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Designer: Hang Le

KANDY

It was love at first sight when I met Mr. Cane.

He was handsome, broody, tattooed, and rich. For years, he’s been mine. He just didn’t know it.

I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with him, or for him to want me in the ways that he did.

None of it was ever supposed to happen, but after all we’ve done together, it’s too late to turn back now. A once harmless crush had blossomed into so much more.

CANE

When we first met, she was just a kid – my best friend’s daughter. A sweet, young girl with a big heart. But now, she’s a young woman who knows what she wants, and all she wants is me.

I’ve tried holding back, pretending the connection meant nothing, but my sweet candy cane made it impossible. If anyone finds out, I’ll be ruined. I’ve worked too hard to lose everything I’ve built.

But there’s just something about her that tempts me, making me want to sacrifice just about anything to have her.

Cover Reveal: The Wild Heir by Karina Halle

TheWildHeir-SBPRBANNER-CR.jpg

The Wild Heir by Karina Halle
Publication Date: May 14th, 2018
Genre: Contemporary Romance

The Wild Heir AMAZON (1).jpg

At first glance I probably seem like any good-looking guy in their late twenties. I have an obscene amount of confidence, a tattooed body sculpted by the Nordic gods, and I love the ladies as much as they love me.

If I’m not BASE jumping or car racing, I’m chasing other devious thrills with the woman of the week. And that’s fine if you’re the average single guy.
But I’m not the average single guy.

I’m Crown Prince Magnus of Norway and my latest scandal just landed my entire royal family in hot water.

Now the only way the monarchy can save face is for me to smarten up – publicly. If I don’t, I’ll no longer be heir apparent to the throne. So it’s either I abdicate my future role as King or…
I get married.
To a blue-blooded stranger.

Enter Princess Isabella of the tiny country of Liechtenstein.

Quiet, intelligent, and uniquely beautiful, Ella doesn’t like this arrangement any more than I do and she’s not afraid to show it. She says I’m a womanizer, that I don’t take anything seriously, that my ego should be taken down a few pegs, and I think she aims to make me miserable for the rest of my life.

But even as our arranged marriage becomes a war of wit and words, I’m determined to break through Ella’s prim and proper façade to find the wild, sexual and risk-taking woman underneath. I want to uncover the Queen inside her.

The only question is – will she let me?

The Wild Heir is a standalone full-length royal romance.

DOn't Be Afraid Paperback copy

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

I made the mistake of reading Don’t Be Afraid at my desk during my lunch break, and found myself fighting back the sobs that were just begging to fall. This ugly cry story is so raw and heartbreaking — it’s so easy to put myself in Sawyer’s place as she watches her beloved husband die before her very eyes all the while their first (and only) child is growing inside of her.

And as much as I adored the connection between Sawyer and Patrick, I loved that between Patrick and his best friend, Gabe, as well as Gabe’s close bond with Sawyer. It was easy to see where this story was headed, but I felt that Part 1 was so well-developed and paced just right, and the I got to Part 2 and it was just a rush to get to the end. So for that reason, I’m holding back on that 5th star. I wish that there was more internal struggle for Sawyer. The reader really got to know what Gage was feeling, but I sort of felt that I wasn’t privy to the feelings Sawyer was claiming she was having. I like to be SHOWN things like that in a story, not TOLD it. And I felt that I got to see Gabe fall in love with his best friend’s widow, but Sawyer was just kind of like “okay, sure!” when it came to moving on.

But overall, Don’t Be Afraid is one hell of an emotional read that will leave you questioning what is and isn’t fair in life, and counting your blessings for all that you have.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
