A Stop In Time by RC Boldt Review & Release Blitz!

They say time waits for no one.
It waits for me.

A Stop in Time by RC Boldt is now live!

I've been an outcast my whole life. If my scars don't scare people away, my attitude certainly will.
I don't know what I am or how I got the power to stop time. What I do know is, there are far too many questions I need answers to.
When I cross paths with a local gang member, his presence unravels a part of my past I never knew existed.
At every turn, danger leaps closer, and I realize that stopping the killer will mean losing everything—including the first man I've ever loved.
But I should've known better. We were never meant to be anything more than a brief stop in time.

Review:


RC Boldt has done it again! If you’re looking for a book with suspense, mystery, a little bit of angst and some irresistible passion, this is the book for you! Boldt takes us on a journey through this book where we are trying to figure out the problem right alongside the main characters. I loved that both we got to read from both Mac and Daniel’s POV as they both have very different ones, but are ultimately looking for the same answers. Mac is a strong willed spitfire who made me laugh out loud so many times. Looks can be deceiving and she is very good at keeping people at a distance (and has her reasons for it), but once you get to see glimpses of the real Mac, she’s just so likable it’s easy to see why those who do know her love her! Daniel is rough around the edges and has a career one wouldn’t be super thrilled about, but honestly with his childhood and all the things he’s endured, it’s pretty understandable. I think it’s pretty amazing his character is so strong through all of the trials he’s gone through and by the end, all I really wanted to see was a happy ending for him. I loved getting to see little snapshots of Danny’s BFF and Georgia, if you’ve read Beyond My Darkness, you’ll love these snippets too. I loved that this story had its own version of Angela (hello sweet Mammy) too!  There’s so many things I loved about this book, especially the main characters and the struggles they went through to get to where they ultimately did in the end are at the top of the list. I also love that this book just kept me guessing. It kept me turning the pages and having to read the next chapter because I needed to know what the next clue was going to be, I needed to know who was behind everything, I needed to know how it was happening, I just needed to know! I loved the characters, the suspense, the great world building and the fire. Overall, I just really enjoyed this book and I hope you’ll take the time and read it too!

Only You by Samantha Young Review & Release Blitz!

A second chance, friends to lovers romantic suspense set in the Scottish Highlands.

Only You by Samantha Young is now live!

Once upon a time, Monroe Sinclair was Brodan Adair's best friend, but now he's a stranger
and one of Hollywood's leading men...

It took Monroe Sinclair eighteen years to return home to Ardnoch after a fateful night that devastated her friendship with Brodan Adair. She fled her unrequited love for him, as well as her difficult family life, and tried not to look behind her. Only a daughter's guilt could lure her back to the Highlands and the assumption that Brodan Adair rarely ever sets foot in their hometown. She can handle seeing the rest of the Adairs so long as she can avoid her ex-best friend and the only man she's ever loved.


Nothing is more important to Brodan than family, and only his demons have the power to keep him from them. For years, acting was something he was lucky enough to be good at, yet it wasn't his priority—Ardnoch and his siblings were. But when a ghost from his past returned out of the blue, Brodan tried to outrun its haunting, taking him further and further from home. When exhaustion finally forces him back to the family fold, the last thing he wants is to encounter another ghost. But that's exactly what Monroe Sinclair has been to him. When a promise to his nephew obliges Brodan to work with Monroe, it forces them to face their past. The explosive connection that has always existed between them resurrects truths long buried. Yet, just when they might be on the brink of a second chance, the ghost from Brodan's past finally catches up to him and threatens not just their happiness, but their very
lives.

Review:


Boy oh boy, did this book take me for a ride or what?! I had so many different emotions reading this story. From the very beginning, the first emotion was sadness only because this is the last book of the Adair Family series and I am going to miss it terribly. With each installment, I looked forward to what new couple I would fall in love with; what horrible event may occur that will hopefully ultimately lead the two leading characters closer together; and what the latest update is for all the others from earlier books I’ve already fallen head over heels for! After getting over that initial sadness and just diving deep into this story, I was excited. I loved the premise of Monroe and Brodan’s relationship, starting from childhood on. I love who Brodan was for Monroe as a young boy himself. I understood Monroe’s love and infatuation for the boy who cared for her in the best way she’d ever known. I loved it. Then, they started to grow up and both made choices that I didn’t love so much. After Brodan decided to come home to Ardnoch, he really ticked me off there for a while. While the other men in the Adair family series have done things that bothered me, I don’t think any of them have made me as angry as Brodan did a few times in this series. As the story continued to unfold and we learned more and more, I was able to extend a little more grace and forgiveness than I initially thought I’d be able to. Brodan definitely grew on me in this story, and by the end, he has become as beloved a character as all the other men in this series. That’s enough about Brodan for now, though. My girl crush is totally on Monroe in this story! She is such a survivor. She has gone through blow after blow and continues to fight, continues to look for the positive, continues to forgive (herself and others), continues to know her worth despite those who are supposed to love her treating her the opposite of what she deserves. Monroe’s heart seems so pure and genuine and she easily seems like the type of friend you’d be lucky to have in your life. I found myself wanting all the things, all the best for Monroe, and I love that a book and fictional characters can make me react so strongly. This truly speaks to the incredible talent of Samantha Young and her intrinsic ability to create a fictional world so easy to fall in love with. This book is just another example of that. I’m not going to go into too many more details because I want you to read it and experience it all on your own, but it’s so good. I enjoyed this book and this series so much. The setting of this series is magical. I want to tour the castle and walk on the beach with a view of the North Sea, feeling the wind blowing through my hair, sipping on a nice glass of Scotch with a picnic basket in hand. This book, this series I think, is a love letter to Scotland, to its beautiful people, to the love that is possible for us all. Thank you Ms. Young for such an incredible story, in such a magical setting. You’ve made my wanderlust heart boost Scotland to the top of my bucket list after reading this incredible series. If you haven’t taken the time to read this series yet, please do. You won’t be disappointed!

The Rising by Jodi Ellen Malpas Review & Release Blitz!

The Rising by Jodi Ellen Malpas is now live!

You can't rise from the ashes if you've never been burned.

When notorious mafia boss Danny Black and lethal assassin James Kelly join forces to hunt down a mutual, elusive nemesis that threatens to destroy them both and take control of their city, they know they will be entering a deadly game. A game they must win if they are ever going to live in peace with the women they love away from crime, corruption, and death.

But peace is an illusion, love is a daily torment, and death will always follow them.

As power starts to slip from their grasp, enemies re-emerge, and old, personal demons return to haunt them both, they finally accept they can never leave their world if they want to stay alive. So they need to protect it at all costs. No matter the consequences. No matter the losses. No matter the pain. They must make choices no men should make. Kill more ruthlessly, love more fiercely, and hate with more rage than ever before.

They're capable. Ready.

But nothing prepares them for the secrets they uncover and the betrayals they face. Or the personal sacrifices they must make to rise again.

Two men.
One goal.
No mercy.

This is The Rising.

Review:


Omg!!! This book was so freaking good! It had more twists and turns than I could have ever predicted. When I first started the book, I was a little intimidated at how long it was going to be and if it would be able to keep my attention all the way through. Let me tell you, there was no need for me to worry at all about that! Jodi Ellen Malpas knows how to write a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat, so invested in finding out how it all ends!! 


I have loved this series from book one and each and every story after makes me love it more. I love that we got to see more of the characters we’ve fallen in love with already and get updates about all of them! I love this crazy mafia family Malpas has created in this series and how different they all are, but how they just belong together too. I love that in this book especially we as the reader really get to keep up with all of them, learning more about not only Danny & Rose, James & Beau, but also Esther, Daniel, Brad, Tank and Fury, etc.! I loved that this story wasn’t solely focused on one but really encompassed the whole crew that I’ve grown to love reading about. The massage scene after the guys helped all of the women had me laughing out loud. Multiples twists at the end revealed things I NEVER considered or expected! When I say I was surprised by multiple things at the end of this story, I mean it. Then the ending of this book? It’s just… perfect. It’s perfectly them, perfectly relatable to these characters and this story, and was just the icing we all need on the cake. I cannot wait for the next book in this series, cannot wait for the next update on all these characters, and especially look forward to seeing how Brad is going to try to weasel his way out of falling for a woman LOL! Thank you for another incredible story, JEM!

Falling for the Rookie by Carina Rose Review & Release Blitz!


 Release Date: 

February 7



People rarely catch me off guard. I’m Collin St. James, after all, starting wide receiver for the Virginia Thunder, and playing football has kept me on my toes. But nothing could have prepared me to mentor our newest teammate, kicker Charlie Nicholson.

 

I wasn’t caught off guard because I had to take someone under my wing, or because Charlie was easily banging sixty-yard kicks through the uprights. It happened when the rookie’s silver helmet came off and long blonde hair spilled out. Completely baffled, I edged closer and took in the prettiest blue eyes I’d ever seen.

 

Charlie wasn’t only a complete knockout, she was also my younger sister’s closest friend, and when she smiled at me, I knew right then and there I was in serious trouble.

 

The last thing I needed was a distraction, but thanks to my gorgeous new teammate—and, to my surprise, my roommate—that was exactly what I got. 

Review:

Aww! What a cute read! <—— Literally what I said, out loud, to myself, after finishing this book ðŸ˜‚🥰This book is just another example of what I love about every Carina Rose story I read. They are sweet and wholesome and just leave you with a happy, feel good feeling after completing her book. Falling for the Rookie gave me those same feel good feelings I’m so used to with all of her books. Falling for the Rookie was just the right level of sweet, funny and romance I desperately needed to provide a little escape from the craziness of the world today. 


Charlie, our heroine, is the type of girl you can imagine just easily makes friends with anyone she meets. She is friendly, brilliant, beautiful and seemingly talented at everything she does, but is also completely humble. Collin is a dreamboat. Charlie’s dreamboat specifically, but he could make any girl fall for him! He is selfless, an incredible athlete, a great brother, and handsome. 


I love the premise of this story and that Charlie has known from day one how she feels. I’m a sucker for romance and I love the idea of love at first sight. There are some trials for each person through this book and it has you cheering for them and strongly hoping things will go in the direction you want to see! I love the friends and teammates who play a role in this book and love getting to see updates of other couples I’ve fallen for earlier on in this series! This is part of a series but I think can easily be read as a standalone if you want, though of course I encourage reading them all because I loved them all! Overall, this book was just what I needed and a great installment for this series. There was love, passion, a little bit of angst, and a whole lot of hope and happiness. If you’re needing a light read like me and have a thing for a good sports romance, this is the one for you!
