Release Blast: HARD LOVE by Sara Ney

 

Release Date: November 19

“HARD TO LOVE.”

Hard head. Bad attitude. Terrible boyfriend. That’s what my exes have said about me—but I wasn’t serious about any of them, so what do I care what rumors they spread? What I need is to be left alone; by the press, by the paparazzi, and by women.

 

Too bad I’m about to be surrounded by them for the weekend. My obnoxious, matchmaking brother is getting married, and he’s doing his damndest find me a wedding date…

 

“HARD TO FIND.”

That’s what they say about good men—they’re hard to find. Not that when I find one, I’ll be the type he’s looking for; too nice, too ordinary, too boring.

 

My cousin is getting married, and her fiancé insists on throwing me at his brother. Cold, uncaring professional football player Tripp Wallace would never look twice at a woman like me. Too bad for both of us, I was wrong…

Release Date: October 19

The biggest secret in her past is the only thing that really matters…

Brantley

It’s the best, smartest decision I ever made. 

It’s also the one part of my life no one knows about. 

Until the day everything twists, changes, becomes something I never thought my life would be. 

Now, I have to trust the one person I swore I’d never put my faith in, my best friend’s brother-in-law. 

My fierce attraction for him is unexplainable...But my fear of loving him is even stronger. 

Axel

I’d rather be up in the sky, flying my F-16. 

But that life ended the moment my brother went blind. 

Helping him became my new mission, but I miss the Air Force life. 

Nothing makes sense anymore, that is until Brantley Hughes walks into my world with chaos streaming behind her. 

What’s she hiding? 

Why does she insist on shutting me out, no matter how hard I try to break down her walls? 

When Brantley’s secret is revealed, Axel’s the only one who can keep her safe. 

Brantley will know if she can finally have the one thing she’s always wanted...a real home.

Release Blast and Blog Tour: Wrangling the Cowboy by Kennedy Fox

 

Release Date: October 13

Bull riding is all Gavin’s known for years, but when it’s time to retire, he can’t let go of the reckless lifestyle. He finds a job that brings him to a small-town Texas ranch and face-to-face with the woman who snuck out after their one-night stand.

She can pretend she’s over him, but he’s not letting her go that easily.

 

Maize Bishop spends her days cooking and baking for her family’s bed and breakfast. The last thing she has time for is a relationship, especially when there are no single men within a hundred-mile radius. When a mysterious newcomer flirts with her over drinks, she gives in to his mesmerizing green eyes and goes home with him.

Now that he works for her family’s ranch, she’ll avoid him at all costs.

There are only so many places to hide, and keeping her distance is easier said than done. After months of giving her space, Gavin’s tired of waiting for Maize to admit what he knows they both want—a second round between the sheets. It may only take eight seconds to win a championship, but he'll prove to her that he can go all night long.

She’s too young, he’s too arrogant, and together, they’re electric—the perfect recipe for disaster.

MY REVIEW: 

  Wrangling the Cowboy by Kennedy Fox
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gavin just retired from being a bull rider. After many years of the abuse the body takes he knew his time was now. So he takes a job at a small town ranch and sees the woman he had a one night stand with.
Maize Bishop is the cook at her families Bed and Breakfast. Her dream is to have a catering business.
Then she sees Gavin, who she had a one night stand with, and pretends she doesn't know him or remember him. After all she isn't getting involved with someone who works at the ranch, again.
Gavin hasn't gotten over her and wants a chance with her. He is quite a bit older than her and ready to settle down.
Love the Bishop family. There are so many of them, parents, aunts, uncles and cousins and they are all supportive of each other.
Thanks to Wildfire Marketing Solutions for the ARC to review.

Release Blast: The Secret One by Ruth Cardello

 

Release Date: October 13

In this steamy third book in New York Times bestselling author Ruth Cardello’s Corisi Billionaires series, a trip to Italy could jump-start a lasting relationship—but only if all that’s hidden comes to light.

When Christof meets a beautiful mechanic on the side of the road, he knows they’re meant to be. His family, however, needs him and his mediation skills in Italy, where decades of secrets and betrayal could cost them everything. His mother is convinced a fiancée would help smooth things over. But he’d be nuts to ask a woman he just met to participate in such a farce.

Men always find something about McKenna they want to change—her independence, her success, the grease that clings to her after a satisfying day in the garage. So when she starts falling for a handsome billionaire, she doesn’t believe it will last. Their engagement is fake, but the sparks that fly when they’re together are too real to resist.

If Christof and McKenna trust themselves and each other, Italy will jump-start a love as intimate as it is intense. If not…their relationship isn’t the only one on the line.

Meet Ruth Cardello

She lived in Boston, Paris, Orlando, New York--then came full circle and moved back to New England. She now happily lives one town over from the one she was born in. For her, family trumped the warmer weather and international scene. 

She was an educator for 20 years, the last 11 as a kindergarten teacher. When her school district began cutting jobs, Ruth turned a serious eye toward her second love- writing and has never been happier. 

When she's not writing, you can find her chasing her children around her small farm or connecting with her readers online.

Release Blast: LOOK WITH YOUR HEART by L.B. Dunbar

 

Release Date: October 1

When small town enemies are forced to face each other in shared quarters, they just might find there is more than meets the eye between them.

Ethan Scott lost his job. As top chef to an elite resort, he heated the kitchen with more than just the stove ... and got caught. A blow to his ego in more ways than one, he’s forced to move back to his hometown when a position for a personal chef opens. His new boss is a recluse in the woods and he’s heard the stories. Determined to make the best of things, nothing prepares him for the sight of his new employer or her feisty attitude.

Ella Vincent gave up her career without a choice. As a former model, the gruesome scars on her once lovely face won’t sell beauty products. Finding refuge in a secluded home in the woods near Elk Lake City seemed like a good idea until her brother hires someone to look after her. Her new employee is more than handsome in the face; he’s a thorn in her side.

Sometimes it takes a bruised heart to see more than the beauty our eyes can behold.

Meet L.B. Dunbar

I’ve been accused of having an over-active imagination. 

To my benefit, this imagination has created over twenty novels, including the creation of a small-town world (Sensations Collection), rock star mayhem (Legendary Rock Star series), MMA chaos (Paradise Stories), rom-com for the over forty (The Sex Education of M.E.), and a suspenseful island for redemption (The Island Duet). 

My alter ego, elda lore, creates magical romance through mythological retellings (Modern Descendants). My life revolves around a deep love of reading about fairy tales, medieval knights, regency debauchery, and strong alpha males. 

I love a deep belly laugh, a strong hug, and an occasional margarita. My other loves include being mother to four grown children and wife to the one and only.

Everything good in his life started and ended with Lorna Bianchi.

It began ten years ago on a hot summer night. Before she walked out on him.

Even if she was a Don’s daughter. Sole heiress to the Bianchi empire.

Destined to wed the eldest Moretti brother as an alliance between their families.

She was also his.

Not for family. Not for money. Not for power.

He was the shadow in the back of her mind.

The one she could never escape no matter how hard she tried.

Ten years was a long time, but not long enough for her body to forget the heat of his hands on her skin.

One look was all it took and she knew that nothing had changed between them.

He was colder. Crueler. More determined than ever.

She might be back to marry his brother, but Alessandro wasn’t letting her go.

Release Blast: LOATHE THY NEIGHBOR: ROOMMATE ROMPS by Teagan Hunter

Release Date: September 17

Don't fall for your enemy...especially when he's your new roomate.

Dean Evans is the worst.
Not only does the devil in disguise steal my pie on a regular basis, he also lives in the apartment right. Next. Door.
I see him all the time. At the mailboxes. In the elevator.
Every single morning.
It's exhausting because he's exhausting.

Now, after setting his apartment on fire, he's my roommate...and he's the worst at that too.

I don't know what possessed me to let him stay with me. Pity, perhaps?
I do know that I won't be falling for his charm.
Or that panty-dropping smirk.
His quick wit.
That body he works so hard for.

Nope. Not falling for any of it...least of all him.

There might be a fine line between love and hate, but I know exactly where I stand.
