Because I Need You by Claire Contreras Release Blitz!

 

"We may have been forced into this marriage, but that doesn't mean I'm going to give her up."

Because I Need You by Claire Contreras is now live!

 

Isabel Bonetti -

One minute I'm mourning the sudden death of my father, and the next, I'm getting calls from a lawyer saying they needed to read me my father's will.
As far as I know, my father didn't have much to leave. He was a blue-collar worker, through and through.

Or so I thought.

Everything topples down at once, the inheritance I'm left with and the truth about what my father did, but the biggest shock of all was finding out he'd married me off to a complete stranger without my consent.

By the time I show up at my supposed husband's nightclub, I'm determined to leave with divorce papers signed, but nothing can prepare me for the man that awaits me on the other side of those doors.

Giovanni Masseria -

My father has done a lot of messed up stuff, but marrying me off to Charles Bonetti's daughter, a complete stranger, may take the cake. I didn't even know old Bonetti had a daughter and I want nothing to do with her or this marriage, until I'm told what staying married to her would mean for the empire I'm slowly trying to build. There's no harm in staying married a little longer if it means I'll cash out on those promises. I decide that I'll cut ties with her as soon as that's done.

That is, until she barges into my office demanding a divorce.

I wasn't sure what I'd expected her to be like, but it certainly wasn't . . . this.

A week ago, I didn't know of her existence, and now, I can't seem to escape her presence anywhere I go.

She doesn't belong in this world and I know this won't end well for either of us, but I can't seem to stop reminding her who I am.

Her husband.

Review:


😍 Speechless! This book was so good. I loved the world that Claire Contreras created with this family from the start with Because You’re Mine but now I don’t know which couple I love more! Catalina and Loren were amazing but there’s something about Gio and Isabel they just got me! I love that they both have so many similarities in their past which make them relate so much more to each other than anyone else. I love that they fulfill something in each other that they’ve never had without the other. I love the strength that they bring out in each other. I love the family that is created and will inevitably be sustained and hopefully grown out of this story. This book kept me furiously turning the pages to see what was going to happen next and had a story line that just reeled me in from the beginning, hook line and sinker! You’ve done it once again, Claire! Thank you for another incredible story!

Married to the Tight End by Carina Rose Review and Release Blitz!

 Release Date: May 17


Have you ever felt as though you were having an out-of-body experience? An ethereal feeling that you were floating in the atmosphere looking down on a situation? If not, let me tell you, it wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. 

Imagine you were at your best friend’s engagement party in Vegas. You were super excited because you were the maid of honor and the best man was the hottest football player you’d ever seen. Even this guy’s position as tight end was appropriate for his, well . . . tight end. 

Anyway, there was something about his cocky attitude that ruffled your feathers and turned you on at the same time. Maybe it was the way he challenged you or because women seemed to flock to the gorgeous man. But according to him, he only had eyes for you. It didn’t matter if he was kidding or not, because you weren’t in the market for a serious relationship. 

Then, for some reason, you engaged in a drinking game. Because why not, right? You were in Vegas after all. Well, let me tell you why not, because the next morning you noticed a silver band on your left ring finger. And adding salt to that tequila-induced wound, there was one on his too. 

Yes, you read that right. Me, Alexa Barton, preferably always the bridesmaid and never the bride, married the uber-sexy, and let’s not forget cocky, football player, Jackson Cartwright. 

I was a cliché. A married cliché. Whose “husband” wasn’t in a hurry to get an annulment and vowed to prove that we were meant to be together.

Review:


Once again, something that is becoming a common occurrence it seems, I just loved this new offering from author Carina Rose! The accidental wedding in Vegas theme was fun and light hearted and the romance throughout the book was just great. I loved getting to see so much of characters I’ve previously fallen in love with (still adore you Trent and Reese), but also getting to dive in deep to Alexa and Jackson. They are so different but I loved their characters and stories too, in a completely different way!


I love Alexa’s personality and unlike my love of Reese because of her football expertise, I found Alexa’s lack of football knowledge refreshing. She’s not dumb in a foolish, schoolgirl pretending-not-to-know way about it, just genuinely has never had enough interest to really learn and is starting at the beginning. I love her excitement when Jackson pulls out the video game of Trent and she’s excited to learn about the “draft thing” Reese is always excited about LOL. I love the joy and exuberance both Alexa and Jackson bring to the book. They both just seem so pure and full of love, despite seeing it not working out well for others in their personal lives. I love that both of them are willing to be vulnerable and honest with each other. I love the chemistry of this book. Overall, I just really enjoyed this story. It was lighthearted, refreshing, and I quickly read through this story not wanting it to be over. I don’t know if there will be any others along this story line, but I can tell you for sure I will be on the lookout for any new books Carina Rose writes. I am a big fan! ❤️

SHATTERED SEA
Coming September 13th

I’ve known every kind of pain. Of the heart. Of the body. Of the soul. All I want now is the freedom that comes from making my art.

The last thing I expected was Hollywood royalty to waltz into my gallery in a small town in the middle of nowhere and see me.

A man like Boden Cavanaugh shouldn’t understand me. Shouldn’t be able to soothe my most ragged edges. Even worse, he makes me want the one thing I can’t have. Him.

All it takes is one spark, and friendship catches flame. But as our attraction burns bright, there are forces desperate to send us back into the darkness. And they’ve already killed before…

FRACTURED SKY
Coming November 8th

Damaged. Broken. Destroyed. I’ve heard it all. A single moment of trusting the wrong person shattered my life into pieces, and my family has never looked at me the same. It’s impossible to convince them that I’m anything more than the broken girl they rescued all those years ago.

Until I meet him.

Ramsey’s surly demeanor and menacing scowl scare most of the world away. But not me. Not when I’ve seen his gentle hands soothe an abused colt or comfort a terrified mare.

And when I finally get up the courage to strike out on my own, Ramsey’s there. Roommates felt like such a safe proposition until Ramsey’s lingering touches and wicked smile light a fire in me I don’t think will ever be extinguished. And he feels it, too…

But just as my new life begins to take root, an evil from my past emerges from the shadows, casting a darkness on my newfound freedom. And this time, they won’t settle for pieces of me. They want everything…

On the Edge by Aleatha Romig Review and Release Blitz!

Release Date: May 11


From New York Times best-selling author Aleatha Romig comes a stand-alone new-adult, romantic thriller where love is new, and monsters lurk in expensive suits behind million-dollar smiles. 

 

Woodland Cliffs Country Club is the crown jewel of the small Monterey-area seaside town. It’s comfortable stomping grounds for those born to money and opportunity. With the club’s esteemed members from near and far, it’s not unusual to spot celebrities, business tycoons, or those with even more power. 

 

It isn’t the glamour or intrigue that attracts Rae Watson to seek a summer job at the Cliffs. As a struggling college student, she simply wants to earn money for her senior year at the university and concentrate on classes. 

 

When Rae’s friend helps secure her summer employment at the Cliffs, Rae willingly accepts. She quickly learns there’s more to the Cliffs, particularly the hidden world of those the country club employs. 

 

The lives of the elite and those who serve them are worlds apart. 

 

What will that mean for Rae and the handsome blue-eyed college student who makes her swoon? 

 

Will she discover the secrets purged from the high cliffs, waiting to be found on the rocky shores, or will she find herself on the edge?




Review:



Ohhhhhhh. That ending!!!! I won’t go into too much detail on this review because this is one of those books that you need to read and experience all on your own, but just know… the ending was epic. There is some of the story left to your imagination but I think most of us would think the same thing. This book is filled with mystery and suspense. I was engaged and furiously scrolling through the pages to find out more and what’s going to happen next. When I first started the book, I was afraid there were too many characters to be able to remember all of them and all of the details. However, as the book continues and you really get a feel for the storyline and the crew of people, it’s easy to remember and keep things straight. Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I loved Rae. She seemed like a smart, tough, intuitive woman and I’m always for a strong leading lady. Frankie and his parents seemed kind. I don’t feel like I got a strong sense of his character but I think we did get a good picture of his for his family including Rae. I loved their dates on the beach and his reassurance to Rae of her being good enough and helping her learn not to lump people together. There were of course characters in the story that you loathe (and are supposed to loathe). Oh, and I think Beth is a boss. That’s it! I hope you’ll take a chance on this one, it surprised me in the best way and I am so glad I got to read it!

*ON THE EDGE is a small town, friends-to-lovers, romantic thriller, stand-alone novel.

Spring’s Second Chance by J. Sterling Review!

Release Date: May 1

What happens when you call off your engagement, but go on the honeymoon alone anyway? You're going to love this fun and flirty story about finding romance when you least expect it.

I was engaged to my high school boyfriend, about to get married and live a life I no longer wanted. I only had one option: to call off the wedding. When my ex insisted that I go on our planned honeymoon (alone) anyway, I wasn't about to say no.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I'd meet someone there. I wasn't looking for love, but it sure seemed to be looking for me- in the shape of a six-foot tall, tanned, professional surfer named Diego. Our time together was filled with passion unlike anything I'd known back in my small town.

I went to the North Shore one kind of woman... but I came back completely changed.

Now what am I going to do about it?

Review:


This book was so flippin cute! It was so lighthearted and such an easy read, exactly what I’d expect a book called Spring’s Second Chance to be. I fell in love with Spring. I love the way she listens to her body and her heart. She trusts her gut. Even more than Spring, I fell in love with Diego. A professional surfer who takes care of himself, is willing to show his vulnerability and loves as fiercely as he does?! Done. Just sign me up for that book! I loved everything about the quick, delightful read. The whole book left me desperately wanting to be a fly on the wall to this perfect North Shore home and explore the life there. Maybe one day! This was such a great, easy read, I hope you’ll take the chance and dive in too!


Meet J. Sterling


Hi there and welcome to my website! I'm so glad you're here. :) A little about me... I'm a New York Times and USA Today best selling author whose goal is to write stories that you can get lost in. I want you to end my books with a smile on your face and a happy heart. If you can forget about the real world while you're reading and fall in love with my characters, then I've done my job. A lot of what I write has real life aspects in it, but that's what makes the stories so relateable- the fact that they could happen to anyone... and have! 

I live in California with my only son, Blake. If you can't find me sitting behind a computer screen, then there's a good chance I'm sitting in the bleachers of a baseball stadium watching him play. I love traveling to new places, meeting my readers and living life with the Real Jack Carter. 

 

I know you have a million books to choose from and I am humbled, grateful and thankful each time you choose to read one of mine, or tell someone else to read them. Thank you for being the best readers on the planet! I appreciate you.
