FRAT WARS: KING OF THIEVES
by Saxon James

Release Date: November 8, 2021


Cover Design:



Story Styling Cover Designs

Genre: M/M College Romance

Trope: Rivals to lovers, forbidden love


Synopsis
We’re basically Romeo and Juliet. But dudes. And without all the dying.

Chad

Being VP of Sigma Beta Psi is wild. I get all the benefits of being in charge with hardly any of the responsibility.

Parties, pranks, and frat politics—college life has never been sweeter.

Until I meet Bailey Prince.

He has the face of a goddamn angel. I don’t know where he came from or why I’m so obsessed.

But I do know he’s a Kappa.

And our houses have a rivalry that’s written into legend.

Bailey

At Rho Kappa Tau, I’m a legacy.

It’s a lot of pressure, but I’ve always been responsible, never had that rebellious need to rock the boat, and I like it that way.

But after a party at Sigma—the jock frat—I meet Chad Doomsen, and for the first time in my life I want to step outside my square.

Our houses have always had a rivalry, but some of the guys seem to hate Chad specifically, and I don’t know why.

He’s surprisingly sweet and kind. At least to me.

I need to stay away. A relationship with Chad would be betraying the very legacy that brought me here.

But I can’t help myself. And it seems, neither can he.

Frat Wars is a romance between MCs from rival houses. It has friendly competitions, no hazing, and a swoony romance kept secret.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

“We’re basically Romeo and Juliet. But dudes. And without all the dying.”

Frat Wars: King of Thieves was a lighthearted, entertaining, fun, college romance. Bailey and Chad are such likable characters, and I really enjoyed their secret friends-with-benefits relationship that turned into something neither of them was expecting. Having realized not too long ago that he was bi, football player Chad just wanted a semester of college to go hookup crazy, and falling for studious Bailey was not on his to-do list. Meanwhile, Bailey is a recent transfer to the school, likes to stick to casual hookups, and is trying to connect with his frat brothers. Secretly dating the VP of their biggest rival is not the way to make new friends, especially amid a crazy Greek-wide war of stealing small items from the other frats’ houses!

Because their houses are rivals, Bailey and Chad keep their forbidden relationship under wraps. Despite their best efforts, a one-night fling becomes so much more for these two. There isn’t much relationship drama between them, and it is a prank gone wrong that pushes them to go public with that they are dating. Their banter back and forth was wildly entertaining, and when they were alone together, they are so sweet with one another.

There are a lot of funny side characters — brothers from each of the frats — that I presume will be the focus of further books in this series, and Chad and Bailey’s story ends on a nice epilogue set 10 years in the future.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Jody “inherited” her brother’s best friend, Nash, when Joey died, and the terms of his will stated that she had to be Nash’s best friend for 5 years. I wasn’t sure where Willing Me Him was going to go. But wow, I enjoyed the ride.

At first, Nash comes off like the typical commitaphobe playboy. But there are so many more layers to him! In between the dual POV chapters are some Past chapters featuring Nash and Joey, and we really get inside Nash’s head as a younger kid and get to see when he first started to fall for Jody. And there are so many more layers to Nash than I expected! Learning about Nash’s childhood… well, I shed plenty of tears for that little boy.

This story is relatively short — it took me less than 2 hours to read it all in one sitting. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and it ended on such a sweet note! I read an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Nashville Dreams, by Julie Capulet

Release Date: November 9
 
“All I wished for was to experience that spark you read about, just once. What I wasn’t expecting was the Fourth of July, Christmas and heaven on earth all rolled into one.” 
~Stella
Bass player Kade Tucker is known as the Magic Man, and not just for his riffs. After breaking off a disastrous relationship, he swears off women. Only problem is, five minutes later, he might have just met the love of his life.
Stella Bell has always done what’s expected of her. Until a secret letter and an unexpected proposal on the same day prove to be her breaking point. For once in her life, she’s going to do something for herself. As fate would have it, that means taking a spur of the moment trip to Nashville.
A hopeless romantic, Stella has been hiding her true self for far too long. And when a gorgeous, mysterious stranger rescues her from a torrential downpour, she decides to go with it. The hot, dreamy Kade Tucker proceeds to enlighten Stella in every possible way, until she begins to realize that some dreams really can come true.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Nashville Dreams is book 3 in the Music City Lovers series, each of which tells the story of a Tucker sibling. This time, Kade is up, and I just knew from the first chapter when he breaks up with his horrid girlfriend that Kade was going to fall hard and fast when he met our heroine! It legit happens like a hot minute later when Kade crosses paths with college student Stella.

I loved that both Kade and Stella were kind of hopeless romantics, searching for the great love of their life. The one that gives them all the feels and makes them want to live every day with that other person. At first, it doesn’t seem like a world-known country rock star and a college student would have much in common. But these two have that instant connection, and they know what they’ve found in one another is worth fighting for. That becomes really important when Kade’s crazy ex makes a return and threatens to tear apart everything he and Stella are trying to build together.

From the first page to the last, Stella and Kade’s story was magical, and a wonderful addition to the Nashville Nights series! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Tiler

My life is a mirror image of my vision board.

Graduated college. Check.

Landed the job of my dreams with the Boulder Bullets. Double check.

Score VIP tickets to see my favorite band, The Whiskey Barrels, perform at the USA Music Festival in Bear Creek. Triple check.

Not only have those dreams become reality, but I nearly checked off the last remaining goal: find Mr. Right when I met Jonah at the music festival.

Jonah and I spent a whirlwind day together under the Colorado Rocky Mountains sky, and he almost turned into my one-night stand.

The only problem with Mr. Right?

He also happens to be a new rookie on the team. Which means he’s all wrong and off-limits because I can’t date one of the players. Even if he checks all my boxes on the boyfriend checklist.

 

Jonah

Getting drafted out of college to play professional basketball with the Boulder Bullets was a dream come true.

How lucky am I?

Even luckier when Tiler, the cute girl I spent the day with at the music festival but then lost in a crowd, ends up being the new social media assistant for the team. Score!

Although, she doesn’t see it that way. Tiler assures me we were a one-time thing and what started between us is no longer on the menu.

But this Iowa farm boy turned pro player has never backed down from a challenge. I’ll find a way to change her mind and prove that I’m the man she’s been waiting for.

Boyfriend Checklist-2

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3 Stars

The Boyfriend Checklist is the first book I’ve read by Sierra Hill. I was intrigued by the description, as well as the fact that this All American Boy series has each book written by a different author. This book is a short (20ish chapters) and steamy story about up-and-coming basketball player Jonah and Tiler, the girl of his dreams whom he meets at a music festival. They share an incredible connection right off the bat, but get parted by the crowd before they can take things to the next level. So imagine the surprise both of them get the following Monday when it’s his first day of practicing with the team and her first day as the team’s new social media manager.

Since shadowing Jonah is now a work assignment, Tiler tries to put some distance between them. Which only makes Jonah want her more. He is relentless in his pursuit of her, and eventually breaks through her walls. Is Tiler willing to risk everything she’s worked for professionally? Will she pass up The One for her career ambitions? I really liked the obstacles this couple faced, which were mostly on Tiler’s side. She was really torn over what to do, and her boss, Frannie, was a great sounding board, having been in that position herself of falling for one of the team’s players.

I enjoyed the progression of Tiler and Jonah’s romance, but I felt like the side story of his rivalry with another teammate took too much away from the romance at the end of the book. The story kind of ended abruptly with the focus being on Jonah’s rivalry, leaving me to feel like the epilogue was a throw-in attempt to tie things back to the romance. But overall, The Boyfriend Checklist is an entertaining, quick contemporary romance.

Blurb:

How did you two meet?

The quintessential question asked to every couple. And the answer is usually some bubbly, lovey dovey tale of being struck in the bum by Cupid’s arrow.

My meet cute (well not so meet cute) is slightly different. I was trolling a wealthy neighborhood in Beverly Hills, searching for someone to take me as their bride, you know, to make my arch nemesis jealous who consequently just fired me.

He was stomping around the block like some sort of gorgeous ogre, mumbling about a business deal gone wrong and attempting to finagle his way out of it.

And that’s when we bumped into each other.

There were no sparks.

Not even a hint of blossoming love.

But next thing I knew, I was scarfing down free chips and guac, listening to this man lay out all of his problems which led to his big ask . . . he wanted me to be his Vivian Ward, you know, from Pretty Woman–minus the frisky behavior.

We’re talking about living in a mansion, intimate double dates, and pretending we were head over heels in love . . . and engaged. Can you imagine?

The absolute audacity.

But people do crazy things when they’re desperate. And I reeked of desperation. So, I struck up a deal.

My one big mistake, though . . . big . . . HUGE? I accidentally fell for the incomparable Huxley Cane.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I had to cover up so many snorts while reading this book because I was in a public place! Lottie and Huxley are HILARIOUS and A Not-So Meet Cute is everything that I needed to escape into after a hellish week.

Pretty Woman is one of my favorite movies, and Meghan Quinn brilliantly takes that movie and turns it into a wonderful, addictive contemporary romcom between a desperate heroine and an uptight billionaire. The escapades that Huxley and Lottie have as they put up the front of a fake engagement had me in tears. Where did MQ get this stuff from, like the impregnating scene?!?

The connection these two shared is fantastic, and it is a lovely slow burn as they fall head over heels for each other.

I was sad to see Huxley and Lottie’s story come to an end, but I can’t wait to see what comes next for his brothers!!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: My Sister’s Flirty Friend, by Piper Rayne

Release Date: November 2

I broke the cardinal rule and slept with my sister’s best friend.

Granted, I’d just found out that I was now a single father to a three-year-old little girl and was low on willpower.

It should also be noted that there’s been sexual tension between us for years. There’s no way it would be a surprise if anyone in our small town found out. That is if we were telling people, which we’re not.

We’re in agreement to keep our affair a secret, especially since neither one of us do relationships.

You’ve probably figured it out already, but things didn’t go as planned.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Piper Rayne does it again! I feel like I repeat myself, but each couple tops the one that came before them! We return to Alaska and the Greene family with My Sister’s Flirty Friend. I’ve loved the banter between Jed and Molly in the previous books, and now we dive head-first into their wickedly delicious friends with benefits affair.

Jed has a lot of baggage due to his place in the family and his strained relationship with his dad. He was a playboy forced to grow up fast when a daughter he didn’t know he had was dropped at his doorstep. He and Molly have had a contentious relationship for years, and when they finally give in, it is magic. I really admired Molly — it showed a lot of strength when she knew that it was time to walk away. Will Jed realize what he had before it is too late?

My Sister’s Flirty Friend is one of my favorite Piper Rayne books to date and I will be coming back to read this one over again! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: The Book Boyfriend, by Carina Rose

Release Date: October 28

After Callie’s debut romance novel is an unexpected hit, she thinks nothing can surprise her—until the man of her dreams seems to walk out of the book and into her life.

 
The last thing Callie Richardson expected was her debut romance novel, Ready to Fall, to top the charts. Nor did she think her readers would become obsessive over her book’s hero, Hudson Newman.
Life couldn’t get any stranger. But then her assistant announces that Hudson Newman wants to see her. She’s convinced her best friend is playing a joke on her, because no one in her office knows she’s written a book. Plus, the name is fictional, a mashup of famous actors.
So when the stunning man steps into her office, she thinks she must be dreaming. Except this Hudson Newman wears a scowl rather than a model-worthy smile. After confirming his name is in fact the same as her character’s, he proceeds to tell Callie that her book’s success has turned his orderly world upside down.
Not only that, but her readers have set out to make Hudson the hero of their hoped-for romances. After weeks of receiving gifts—from candy to lingerie to things that make Callie blush—Hudson has had enough and tells Callie she needs to get her overzealous fans off his back. He smiles smugly and gives her two choices—delist the book or date him.
That was the moment Callie found herself in a fake relationship with a real-life book boyfriend.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

The Book Boyfriend is an absolute hoot! I can seriously see this book being a Hallmark movie. Callie and Hudson are great characters, and Carina Rose does a fantastic job of executing this strangers/enemies-to-lovers/fake relationship storyline.

Romance author Callie’s debut novel is a phenomenal success — but as her star rises, Hudson, businessman who happens to share the name of Callie’s hero finds that his life has become a disaster. Her fans have been sending him gifts, racing lingerie — and he wants it to stop. While Hudson initially wants Callie to take down her book, he has a bit of an a-ha moment and declares that Callie should pretend to be his girlfriend instead

As these two embark on a fake relationship, their adventures are hilarious. As Callie and Hudson fall for one another, and this clean romance has lots of heart and swoon. They both have some baggage that has them trying to protect their hearts, but as they open up to one another, there is a beautiful friendship that develops and eventually leads to love.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

She also believes in insta-love, since she knew her husband was the one the first day she met him.
When it comes to books, she uses them as an escape from reality. . . . to get swept away. Carina hopes her words do the same for her readers.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I have been loving Kennedy Fox’s duets, and Archer and Everleigh’s story is a great addition to the Ex-Con series. Archer was Tyler’s cellmate in prison, and when he is released, Tyler gives him a job at his gym — and his sister Everleigh’s spare room. Their relationship is forbidden by her brother because Everleigh is a big-time flirt and a bit flighty, and Tyler wants Archer to get back on his feet with no distractions. But of course, Archer and Everleigh can only fight their attraction to one another for so long…

Everleigh has cracked me up since the beginning of this series, and I adored her rapport with Archer. Kennedy Fox did a great job of building a foundation for these characters through their friendship before anything physical happened between them. There are a few hookups along the way, but those come later in the book and it was worth waiting for the anticipation of them finally sleeping together!

There is always an element of suspense and danger in these duets, and Forcing You Away is no different. It ends on a major cliffhanger, and I have no idea who is behind the incident! Is it someone from Archer’s past? Or Everleigh’s? I really have no clue! I can’t wait to see how the second part of this duet wraps up Archer and Everleigh’s story!

THE BOOKSELLER OF DACHAU
by Shari J. Ryan


Release Blitz


Release Date: October 29, 2021


Genre: Historical Fiction

Trope: World War II



Synopsis

Germany, 1940: “Can’t I say goodbye?” I shout, cupping my hands over my mouth. The Nazis dragging him away stare at me, soldiers with icy glares. No. No, no, no, they can’t make him leave.

In Nazi Germany, innocent people vanish every day, torn mercilessly from their homes and loved ones. When Matilda’s childhood sweetheart Hans is in danger, she doesn’t hesitate to hide him in her attic. Neighbors their whole lives, and desperately in love with one another, she’ll do anything to protect him. For months, they exist by candlelight, smuggling food and communicating in whispers. But, in the end, nothing can stop the soldiers charging in…

America, 2018: Grace opens a mustard-yellow envelope, and her world unravels. She has inherited a bookstore in the small town of Dachau from the grandmother she had no idea existed. Her mom, adopted as a baby, spent her life searching for her biological parents––and died without ever knowing.

Grace visits her legacy––a bookshop on a cobbled lane filled with lost memories. She combs through handwritten letters, unearthing the story of her grandmother Matilda. A woman whose one true love was locked within the barbed wire of Dachau––a woman who never gave up hope…

As Grace pieces together her family’s heartbreaking past, she discovers the long-buried secret of her own identity. But when she learns the truth, will she ever be the same again?

This heart-wrenching yet hopeful tale will restore your faith in humanity, and in the power of love to triumph over evil. Fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Orphan Train and Kristin Hannah will be blown away by this breathtakingly gripping page-turner.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I have read Shari Ryan’s contemporary romance novels as well as her historical fiction novels — and I am blown away every time. In all honesty, I am not a fan of historical fiction but I have read each one of Shari’s and The Bookseller of Dachau has to be one of my favorites so far. It is poignant, emotional, heartbreaking, and inspiring all at the same time.

Told in a dual timeline, The Bookseller begins with Grace (in 2018) discovering that she has inherited a property in Dachau from the grandmother she never knew of because her own mother had come to the US as an orphaned infant. In the second timeline, Matilda risks the safety of her family and her best friend to hide Hans from the Nazi soldiers who have taken over the city during the 1940s. The chapters alternate beautifully as Grace learns about her ancestry from Archie, who runs her late grandmother’s store. As they build a wonderful friendship in modern-day times, Tilly and Hans are clinging to their hopes for the future in the fearful world of years ago.

I don’t want to spill any details about this book. I mean, it is set during Nazi-run Germany, so you can imagine what much of Tilly and Hans’ storyline is about. Shari Ryan has penned a beautiful story in the one of the most heartbreaking moments of history.

The Bookseller of Dachau is a story that you won’t soon forget.

A sexy, single dad and his teenage son weren’t a part of my white picket fence fairy tale, but if life has taught me anything, it’s that things don’t always work out according to plan.
Ben offers me no-strings-attached sex, but we could never be stringless.
He has a son to think about, one who’s very much a part of my life.
No matter how much I want to accept his offer, taking our relationship to the next level would leave us tangled in knots.

Benjamin
After experiencing firsthand the devastation love can cause, I knew having a family wasn’t for me. Neither was being a single dad—but here we are, trying to make it work.
The last thing I need is a distraction, but then Savannah waltzes into my world,
stealing my treadmill at the gym—as well as my son’s heart.
We agreed to no strings. No complications or commitments. But I’m going back on my word because now that I know what it’s like to be with Savannah, there’s no way I’m ever letting her go.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars


No Strings is a sexy, slow-burn, single dad, age-gap, fling romance. Savannah and Ben had a great connection. She was full of sass, and I loved that about her. She really got Ben to shed his layers, and grumpy Ben was kind of a softie when it came to her. Both Savannah and Ben have been burned by past partners, and while they are hesitant to get involved, it’s a beautiful, emotional journey as these two open up to one another and explore what a relationship together can look like.

While this is most definitely a no-strings-attached fling that turns into something so much deeper between Savannah and Ben, it’s a slow burn between the characters as they explore the sizzling chemistry between them before hitting the sheets. But once they do, that chemistry explodes!

I also adored the friendship between Savannah and Ben’s teenaged son, Brody. They had a lovely connection all on their own, and I liked the way that was written as well as how Savannah guided Brody along when it came to fixing the fractures in his relationship with his dad.

No Strings is an entertaining page-turner. And amid all the swoony and sweet moments, Nikki ASh beautifully weaves in some heavier topics that certainly pull on your heartstrings. She blends those emotional moments so nicely with the more lighthearted ones, providing the perfect amount of angst to this story. Definitely a book I will be coming back to for a re-read!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
