Out Now and early! Fired Up By: K.K. Allen

Through smoke and fire, she’s all I see.

Nothing gives me a bigger rush than when I’m responding to an emergency call.

As a firefighter EMT, my mission has always been clear.

Until I arrive at the scene of an accident and a dark-haired vixen, quite literally, trips into my life.

I quickly learn there’s more to the gorgeous photographer than meets the eye.

Meadow Matthews isn’t a woman who needs saving, but she just might save me.

As a single mom to an adorable little boy, she leaves little time for play.

Which is why, when I approach her with a fun opportunity, she instantly declines. 

Unfortunately, snapping photos of greased-up firefighters for a calendar isn’t her thing.

Lucky for us, she fires me up just enough to convince her otherwise.

Fired Up is a standalone single parent romance in the Bayside Heroes series!

Five Stars!

Asher and Meadow had me from the beginning. They both are very likable characters that are devoted to their careers.

Meadow had just made the move back to Tampa to be close to her mom and get some extra help with her son Tate. Asher divorced and ready to move on can’t get his mind off the new girl. They fall into several coincidental meet-ups before they decide to take the next step.

Meadow is a professional photographer and Asher is a firefighter, he really needs a photographer for the charity calendar he is putting together. This is what brings in the initial interest but it doesn’t revolve around working together.

Asher is this sweet, charming, and sexy man, he is a good guy and not your typical male whore, he likes commitment and after a failed marriage wants to try again. Meadow is a smart beautiful; woman that isn’t ready to take on a relationship yet, she trying to make it work in a new place as a widow, but Asher is just too tempting.

This is such an addictive read, it is cute, super sexy, and fun. K.K. has definitely become a go-to author of mine, every book I read has me wanting more. This book doesn’t have a whole lot of angst but it is heartfelt and packed with drama. And let me just say Asher is a swoony hero, the Halloween scene is HOT! I loved it!! Make this book one of the last books you read in 2021 because it will be on your favorite list.

Cover Reveal!! The Player Hater by: Sara Ney

 

Release Date: February 15

I would do anything for my best friend.

 

Well. Almost anything.

 

When she begs me to come on a weekend getaway so I can bond with her new boyfriend, I can’t say no—no matter how badly I want to. After all, who will keep an eye on the guy; he’s your stereotypical, professional football player (emphasis on PLAYER) and I don’t trust him with my friends heart.

 

Worse? He has the nerve to bring his single best friend Davis on the trip, too. Davis is too handsome, so funny and smart he can’t possibly be human. Grandma’s, babies and kittens all fall for his smile.

 

In fact, everyone adores but me **narrows eyes** What’s he hiding?

 

I refuse to fall for his act; at some point he’ll will drop the Good Guy act and show his true colors: he’s a player, too. He must be.

 

You know the saying: if he seems too good to be true, he probably is.

A Not So Meet Cute by Meghan Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My Review (ARC provided)

https://triciaciak.blogspot.com/
Five Stars!

Let me start by saying Meghan had me craving a grilled cheese sandwich and I had to make one for dinner the other night.

I loved everything about this book! And the epilogue was my favorite, I was so hoping to get that for the epilogue and M.Q. did not disappoint. I don’t even know where to start on this review, I thought Lottie was hilarious and someone I’d want to be friends with. Huxley was likable for about 2 minutes and then became unlikable for a while. I knew he was good though and he was putting a shield up, you get little glimpses of his big heart but you get more of the stiff businessman and billionaire, that is until Lottie breaks him.

“My heart aches for him. But my heart is also wary. He’s playing tug-of-war with my heart, ripping and tearing it in every direction, stirring up anxiety and uncertainty.”

These two characters were so perfect together they both brought out each other’s strengths and good qualities. I definitely shipped them from the beginning. ;) I actually sent my friend a message telling her she needed to read the book and read it as soon as she could because I loved it that much and wanted to be able to talk to her about it.

So what happens when a billionaire is trying to make a deal and flat-out lies to the guy he’s making a deal with? And what happens when an unemployed business major goes searching for a rich husband? A Not So Meet Cute!! From Lottie and Huxley’s initial interaction to their last Meghan had me devouring this book. Talk about HOT, this book will leave you panting and wanting more. I love me some dirty talkers! There is so much to love about this book from Huxley’s brothers, Dave and Ellie, and Lottie’s family that I don’t want to give too much more away. Just know that you will be laughing one second and fanning yourself the next, you may also get mad but M.Q. takes you right back to smiling again. I’m hoping we get more of this awesome bunch! J.P and Kelsey, please!!!

“Just when you think you’ve hit rock bottom, when you don’t think there’s any way you could climb the mountain again to find happiness, you stumble across a trail, one that has its bumps and bruises, but offers a gorgeous outcome.”

This was one of the best fake fiance, enemies to lovers, romantic comedies I’ve read!

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.

4 stars!

Puck Shy is a funny, romantic, sexy story about two people not looking for love but trying to find their way and navigate life. Harper and Collin have the cleverest meet-cute and I loved every minute of their initial encounter.

Collin has some really bad luck so he decides to go home and take a mental vacation from his life, his luck, and just relax. Once his time has come to an end he packs up and heads home, but his bad luck seems to have made a reappearance. As he headed back to work and the city his car breaks down in the middle of nowhere.

Harper is driving in the middle of nowhere and almost hits a guy on the road. Collin meet Harper, and that’s where the fun of these two begin. After a few hours and some fun banter the two-part ways just to be pushed back together later. Now, this is not your typical meet-cute but in my eyes, it still is one.

Once Harper and Collin start dating they both don’t want feelings involved, they want to keep things casual and have fun. They do have fun and their chemistry is hot, but you can tell they both want more than they lead on. Harper has had some heartache and refuses to let herself get close to a man. Collin’s focus needs to be on the game. Will these two take a chance or will they run from the emotions that they are feeling?

“Wouldn’t you rather love him fiercely while you can than not at all?”

What a great start to a new series. I can’t wait for more! Oh, and I loved the cameos from a certain Texting series.

Managing the building where they live is only one of Daphney’s many jobs. It’s why she has zero patience for the obnoxious American on the other side of the wall who makes the most ungodly noises and likes to answer his door in nothing but a pink tea towel. Tensions build and after one steamy hallway kiss, neighbor wars quickly shifts into neighbors-with-benefits and that’s a battle they both intend to win. But Daphney doesn’t know the real reason Zander is in London and now she’s stuck in the middle of a game she didn’t even know she was playing.

𝗗𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀, a dark taboo romance by Author Katie Rae and Zoey Drake is LIVE and FREE on Kindle Unlimited!

Suzy's Review (ARC provided)

Four stars!

I'm a sucker for a dark romance book! The moment I read this blurb I was so excited to read it! It wasn't as "dark" as other books I've read. But nevertheless, it was really good! I'm still new to Zoey Drake and this book introduced me to Katie Rae. These two make the perfect team!

This book contains trigger warnings-addiction/abuse.

Wren dealt with some traumatizing abuse as a child. As an adult, she's been running from her monsters ever since. Coke is her best friend. After overdosing she is sent to rehab down in FL, thanks to her parents. And here she meets Ro. Little does she know, Ro is someone from her past.

Ro is dealing with his own darkness. Once these two meet up they are INTENSE! Their toxic yet hot relationship will make you mad at times but eventually, these two start healing themselves and each other.

This book is full of twists, and angst! I absolutely loved it and plan on reading more by each author!

One stupid mistake landed me in rehab. 

Some place that’s supposed to make you learn how to cope and handle things better. 

Instead, I found myself craving a fix, but getting high in rehab wasn’t easy. 

Until I found a dark, tall, and sexy nurse who could take away all the pain.

I could get high on him alone.

How was I supposed to know the secrets he held? 

That he was the last person I should use for my next rush? 

Didn’t matter.

His darkness called to me like a beacon in the night and I was hooked.

Once I realized how forbidden he was, I only wanted him more.

My review (ARC provided)
Five stars!

This trilogy had me from the get-go, I couldn’t stop thinking about it and as soon as one book was done I needed the next. I’m sad to say now that it’s over. I enjoyed everything about this conclusion to Katrina Summers story. I loved getting to see Katrina grow and become what she was meant to be.

I don’t read a lot of fantasy (as I said in my first review) or paranormal but I am so glad I decided to read this. There still is a bit of a love triangle going on, but it resolved pretty quickly and we all know if we’ve read the first two books who she is meant to be with. And boy do you get the butterflies when they are together, it truly is a beautiful love story.

Katrina has a lot on her plate, she needs to save her family and friends before Erebus gets to them. Evil has struck again and “he’s” after one person. “Well, what will it be, Katrina?” Will you sacrifice yourself? Or will your loved ones die?” Katrina is feeling the pressure but she won’t stop until she destroys Erebus, and Erebus won’t stop until he destroys Katrina.

This book takes you on a ride of twists and turns and has you turning the pages to find out what will happen next. I loved how this story turned out and can’t wait for everyone else to read it. I thoroughly enjoyed each book in this series, and if I had to choose a favorite, it would be Fated just because we really find out who Katrina is and who her Fated is. Although all three books have gotten Five big whopping stars!!
