On One Condition by: K. Bromberg is out now!

Sometimes first loves deserve a second chance . . .

On One Condition by K. Bromberg is now live!

First loves deserve a second chance in an all-new small town, billionaire romance by New York Times bestselling author, K. Bromberg.

The requirement is ridiculous but simple. Spend two months in Cedar Falls and play the mayor’s games to ensure that The Retreat, Sharpe International’s newest resort, can open.

But I have a history with this small, Montana town. One I’d tried to forget but never could. Asher Wells. My Lavender Girl.

She’d had dreams and aspirations to leave Cedar Falls and make her mark on the world. So why is she still here, standing in front of me? And more importantly, why is she looking at me with hurt in her eyes when I was the one who‘d been forced to leave or else face the damning consequences of that night?

I have everything in life: money, success, an empire to run . . . everything except for one, very important thing. Her.

Fifteen years is a long time to wonder. . . what if. I’ll be damned if I leave town this time without her.

Are you ready to fall for the Sharpe brothers in K. Bromberg's sexy, contemporary, billionaire romance series? These books can all be read as a standalone, but can be enjoyed as a series as well . . .

Last Resort (Book #1)

On One Condition (Book #2)

Final Proposal (Book #3)

4 stars!

Last Resort was one of my favorite books and I couldn’t wait for another story about one of the Sharpe boys and their business. In this book, we get to know Ledger, the serious one. And we are introduced to Ash, Ledger’s teenage love and polar opposite.

Ledger and Asher have some history, and that history didn’t end on a good note, fast forward to fifteen years later and Ledger finds himself in the small town of Montana and running into his first and only love. Ash had bigger dreams, she wanted to move on from this town and Ledger wants to know what happened?

Ledger needs to be in Montana for two months so S.I.N.’s new resort can open, but what he didn’t realize would happen when he returned, is nostalgia kicks in, old feelings come back and so does his lavender girl. He wants a chance to explain, to at least be friends and reconnect, but fifteen years of hurt and regret is a long time.

Will Asher hear Legger out and will they move past the lies and betrayal from when they were just teenagers?

There is a paragraph that I highlighted because I loved it so much, it’s a long quote but one worth mentioning.

“I’ve spent the better part of the last few hours nostalgic and wondering what could have been. We were kids. We could have fizzled out when we went to college.”

This quote goes on but the way it ends is…

“But it should have been our choice. Our decision. Not someone else’s.”

This really hit home with me and I loved how it was written and read.


I thought this was such a sweet story, it had me rooting for this couple and wanting them to make it work despite their families. You feel for them, especially Ash and the crap she’s dealt with her entire life. Of course, the chemistry is palpable in the way that Kristy can always do. I do have to mention the comic relief of Tootie in this book too because that kid was written so well and made me smile from ear to ear.

I can’t wait to get the last Sharpe brother’s book!

Moments In Time review...

 

Moments in TimeMoments in Time by K.K. Allen


My review (ARC provided)
@tlbcgirls.read
https://triciaciak.blogspot.com/
4 stars!

Moments In Time was a sweet story about rekindling a friendship and love after several years of being estranged and broken-hearted.

Jami and Vi were the best of friends, but they also were friends that were each other’s first everything. They always stated they were only friends and helping each other get experience, but they both had an unspoken love for each other, both were too afraid to admit it for fear of losing the other.

This book was a slow burn slightly angst-filled read. It was one of those books you keep waiting for something big to happen but it never really does or is quickly resolved. I love that! K.K. can write some angst and she can also write a steady sweet story about love, friendship, and growth. I don't need to be on edge every time I read, and it was actually just the book I needed at this time.

I love the build-up of their new adult relationship and the things they have to deal with now that they are working adults with totally different lives. Without giving too much away I thought K.K. did an excellent job with Trevor’s (Violet’s ex) character and the things a divorced couple might go through when raising a child. I liked getting the back story to him as well.

I couldn’t wait for Vi and Jami to put the past aside and talk through misunderstandings to work towards a future.

“I heard you, Vi, and you know I’ll help you however I can, but I am sick and tired of being treated like I’m the villain here.”

I can’t wait to get the next Bexley brother in this series!

Moments In Time by: K.K. Allen is out now!

 

Release Date: June 24 


Jamison Bexley was the one who got away.

If only I hadn’t pushed him.

 

Seven years ago, he was my everything.

My confidant.

My safe haven.

My best friend.

However, dating was never an option.

Not when his eyes gravitated toward every girl in town but me.

 

That is, until the curse of bad timing found us both… and struck.

 

All it took was one night.

One big mistake.

Altering everything we could ever be.

 

I’m still paying for my sins all these years later.

Life has been downright cruel.

I’m working countless hours trying to hold onto the pieces of my shattered dreams.

Determined that nothing will keep me from my end-goal.

 

Until Jamison struts back into our small town and gets a first-hand glimpse of my life.

Suddenly, he wants to be my knight in shining armor.

But I don’t need a savior.

Those moments in time are long gone.

And he’s about to realize why.

Bitter Sweet Heart, an angsty and sizzling, forbidden age gap New Adult romance from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting writing as H. Hunting is coming September 1st, and we have the sinfully hot cover!

From the outside looking in, I live a charmed life: hockey legend for a father, my own promising future in the league, a great family, awesome friends. It’s not untrue, but it’s not quite that simple either.
My dad’s advice has always been to make hockey my number-one priority—at least until I make it to the pros. So, going into my senior year of college, I have a plan. I’ll put in the effort required to pass my classes, play hockey like my life depends on it, and avoid relationships. All I have to do is stay focused on the end game, and I’ll walk away with a degree and into a career in the NHL.
It should be easy.
But when a woman literally floats into my dock, just before summer ends and my senior year begins, I can’t resist one last hookup. What harm could a one-night stand do? It’s not like we even exchanged numbers.
Everything is fine until I run into her on campus.
It’s a big school. I should be able to avoid her.
Except she happens to be in my class.
And she’s not a student.
She’s my professor.

I should stay away.

Emilia Anderson is the team's social media manager, and there are strict rules about not fraternizing with the staff. It doesn't matter that we already accidentally broke them—we can't let it happen again.

Besides, my time in the NHL is winding down, and this is my last shot at winning the Cup. I need to focus on the game, not some girl I have no business chasing.

She's ten years younger than me.

She's the assistant coach's niece.

And she works for the team.

I know better than to play this game...

My Review...Last on the List by: Amy Daws

Five Stars!

Oh, Amy my loins and my heart! This book was so good, everything I could ask for in a RomCom. I loved our heroine (Cozy) so much! She was confident but broken and needed to find her place in life. After a traumatizing incident Cozy needs, a fresh start, and her sister is there to help her. Her sister's company places nannies and thought being a nanny would be the perfect new start for Cozy.

After a disastrous interview, Cozy is essentially hired by Max’s (CEO millionaire) little girl. Max doesn’t see it but his daughter does. Cozy is the exact opposite of Max, but something has them pulling towards the other, They discover they are equally attracted to one another but can’t let it be more than fun.

Whew Amy this book was on fire, it had me turning the pages so fast and wanting more. I loved both these beautifully broken characters! The way they brought the best out in each other and the way Max made Cozy feel so confident in herself. She wasn’t negative but as a plus-sized woman she doubted her beauty at times and Max loved everything about her curves and beauty, and he sure made her aware of that.

We also got to see some of our favorite characters from this series which was so much fun! I loved everything about this book!! I can’t wait to see what else Amy has in store for us!

The Ruthless Groom by: Monica Murphy is out now! Read Suzy's five star review...

 

The Ruthless Groom (Arranged Marriage, #2)The Ruthless Groom by Monica Murphy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

(Suzy's review)
https://triciaciak.blogspot.com/
FIVE STARS!!!

The suspense has been killing me waiting for this book after the cliffhanger The Reluctant Bride left. Monica Murphy never seems to disappoint.
The Reluctant Bride left us with the moments right before Charlotte and Perry were to wed. I couldn't wait to get my greedy hands on this new release to see where Monica was gonna take us with the next installment.
The beginning of the book really annoyed me. I wanted to choke out Perry for being cold and standoffish to Charlotte. But by the end, I was back to loving Perry Constantine. I thought this was going to be a duet but NOOOOO Monica wanted to leave us with another cliffhanger, and here we wait for the last installment.
I would really read this woman's grocery list. Her stories are amazing and just suck you in to these fictional worlds! You will not be disappointed with this book! Can't wait for Reckless Union!

Doctor Love (Masters of Love, #3)Doctor Love by Leisa Rayven
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My Review (ARC provided)
4.5 stars!
https://triciaciak.blogspot.com/
https://www.instagram.com/tlbcgirls.r...
https://www.tiktok.com/@tlbcbookblog?...

Leisa Rayven is back and on fire! I fell in love with this story, it was so witty and I couldn’t get enough of Toby and Joanna.

Toby is your very hot and smart nerd, he’s actually a tech wizard and has created the most advanced dating app to pair you with your life partner. The problem is he can pair everyone but himself because the person he finds a connection with and has the most chemistry with is not in his algorithm for finding the one at all.

“I’m a goddamn expert at coding and hacking, and I’m going to find a way to hack my heart and recode that motherfucker, because I refuse to feel this way a second longer.”

Joanna has been guarded and afraid of love, she doesn’t feel lovable and never lets anyone get too close. She is also brilliant and not to mention a self-made woman with a ton of money. When she meets Toby she feels every bit of the connection he does but the problem is, he’s not the right person for her. They just are not compatible.

When Joanna needs help and Toby is one of the only people she can think of to help her they have an agreement to be friends. Well, friends are really hard when there is so much chemistry. And then throw in the forced proximity aspect and they are really in trouble.

This story had me on edge, I loved Toby from the start, he was such a caring person and always put himself last, and I really felt for him. Joanna was a little harder to love, but Leisa does such a good job of slowly unfolding her character that you begin to love her too, and she is such a caring and generous person. I loved how she flipped the trope for it to be the woman as the sexy, dominant, rich heroine and the male to be the nerdy somewhat frumpy (but hot) hero. It was a nice change of pace!

“When you’re so in love with someone, you can’t imagine living without them, everything changes. You look at them with new eyes. You even say their name differently. It’s like it’s suddenly a precious word that needs to be spoken with the utmost care.”

I did read the other books in the series but it had been a while so I had to refresh my memory a bit. Once again Leisa did not disappoint and I hope we see some more of her stories soon!

Five stars!

https://www.instagram.com/tlbcgirls.r...


I couldn’t wait for this book to be released, A Not So Meet Cute was one of my favorite books and a book I recommended to everyone. Well let me tell you so will So Not Meant To Be, these two books are tops on my list, and now a need to wait patiently for Breaker’s story.

JP and Kelsey don’t have the best relationship to start, they work together and JP doesn't make it easy on Kelsey with his constant teasing and banter. She wants to have a professional relationship with him and a friendship too as their siblings are engaged to be married.

Kelsey just wants to find love, she’s a hopeless romantic and even has a podcast showcasing couples and their love stories. And JP thinks it’s all ridiculous, he has quite the reputation for being a playboy but he also has a massive crush on Kelsey. The two couldn’t be more opposite and JP thinks she completely despises him. JP also believe in friendship between the two of them and is making it hard for Kelsey to like him when that’s all she wants.

I don't want to give too much away but who remembers or has read Three Blind Dates? Well Going In Blind (the dating app) is featured in this book and let's just say it’s quite the fun date and pairing. I love when Meghan throes in her little Easter eggs of other books she’s written. And the podcasts!! Wait until you read all the couples, it was so fun to revisit some of my favorite stories and I’ve read them all!

So back to JP and Kelsey, the majority of this book takes place in San Francisco where they take on a job assignment together and are sharing a living space (forced proximity ;)). They begin to get to know each other, there are fights, sexual tension, and most of all a friendship that starts to form. I loved their outings and how protective JP was of Kelsey, I loved the tension and the banter and I loved getting to see them really get to know each other and start falling.

Like all of Meghan’s stories it is hilarious, but also heartfelt, romantic, and sexy. She does such a good job of bringing out all of your emotions while reading. Bring on Breaker!

Leisa Rayven is back with a five star read!!

 

Follow the algorithms or follow his heart?

Doctor Love, an all-new steamy, opposites attract standalone romance from International Bestselling author Leisa Rayven, is available now!

Toby Jenner may be tall, handsome, and own the world’s greatest collection of cardigans, but his track record with women is woeful. Even though he’s the tech genius behind the most successful matchmaking app of all time, it seems as though Doctor Love is able to predict everyone’s perfect partner except his own.

All that changes when a beautiful, intelligent, quirky-as-hell woman crashes into his life. Plagued by her own relationship woes, Joanna’s done with dating guys who aren’t right and pins her hopes on the Happy Ever After app turning her love life around.

Within hours of meeting her, Toby realizes he’s finally found the soul-deep connection he’s always craved. Even better, she seems to feel the same way.

There’s just one problem–according to his own state-of-the-art compatibility algorithm, they don’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell of working out.

Being a man of logic, Toby knows he should forget about her and move on. He knows he shouldn’t move into her plush Manhattan apartment so he can monitor the glitchy A. I. that runs/ruins her life. He knows he should be fine with her dating men whose compatibility scores aren’t in the single digits. And he should absolutely ignore how just being near her sets his entire world on fire.

Yes, Toby is very aware that falling for his perfectly imperfect match will lead to devastating heartbreak. But he also knows that if there’s even a one-percent chance of them making it, he’ll move heaven and earth to beat the odds.

A sizzling new standalone from the internationally bestselling author of Bad Romeo.
