Always You by Samantha Young Review and Release Blitz

 

Always You by Samantha Young is now live!

 

Arrochar Adair has loved her brother's ex-bodyguard and best friend, Mac Galbraith, for years. Once upon a time, she was too young for him, but now that she's a mature woman in her thirties, Arro can see no issue with their difference in age. Yet something deeper, a problem much more difficult to surmount, is keeping them apart.

Mac Galbraith remembers clearly the night Arro became everything to him, no longer just his best friend and boss's younger sister. However, having made many mistakes over the years, there is one mistake Mac is determined not to make: to believe that he is worthy of Arrochar Adair. Allowing them to grow closer during his daughter, Robyn's, return has proven his undoing. And when Arro forces the subject of their relationship, his response pushes her away. He just never meant for it to destroy them completely.

Devastated by Mac's final rejection, Arro is determined to move on without him in her life, though he seems intent on staying put. And when the Adair family face a new threat, one that may have ties to Mac's past, Arro can't seem to be rid of the man. In fact, Mac will do anything to protect her.

But with so much hurt between them, will Arro let Mac close enough to guard her from their enemy... before it's too late?

Review:

Oh, how I have been waiting for this book!! Ever since we met Robyn in Here With Me (book 1 in the series) I was so curious about her father, Mac. The wait did not disappoint! First let me say, you don’t have to read the other books in the series first if you really don’t want to, but I HIGHLY recommend it! I loved how this story continues to build with a family that we’ve known and fallen in love with in the other books! The main characters from the other stories continue to develop with their lives while also focusing mostly on this particular couple (Mac and Arro) while also somehow simultaneously building suspense for the other characters who will hopefully be getting books dedicated to them next! Samantha Young has an incredible way of doing all of this and more with these epic love stories she continues to weave. This book, Always You, is such a slow burn that it drives you crazy but also desperately keeps you waiting on pins and needles to see how it all turns out! I love the passion and the love that these two have for each other. I love that Mac is able to own his own stuff and I LOVE the addition of Iona and their talks!! This couple goes through so much, both in their pasts and in their present that you can’t help but root for them and pray they get their happy ending, whatever that looks like for them both. This book was intense, a page turner, a building burn, a star crossed love situation in a lot of ways… just a brilliant book. I loved it. I can’t wait to see what comes next. Oh and I loved the epilogue too! 😍🥰 Now onto sweet dreams of Scotland and the beautiful views described throughout this book!

Falling Embers by Catherine Cowles Release Blitz & Review!

“A top must read for 2022”

—Samantha Young, New York Times bestselling author

Falling Embers, an all-new second chance romance filled with suspense from Catherine Cowles, is available now!

I’ve loved Calder Cruz from the moment he taught me how to fly. Racing down a mountain and giving me the release I so desperately needed. My understanding. My safe space.

Hadley has fought for a life of her own ever since her sister’s kidnapping. When she was drowning in expectations and family pressures, Calder was always the one who understood her.

Until one night changed it all. From best friends to strangers in a single breath.

She’s like a fire that lives inside me. Even when I thought it was all burned out, there were still embers that lived in my bones.

Calder knows what it’s like to almost lose the people he loves most. He’ll never make that kind of mistake again. Working at the fire station and taking care of his daughters are the only things he needs.

All it takes is a single moment to make him realize how wrong he is. A split second of coming close to losing the woman he has always loved.

But as long-buried embers light anew, there are those who lurk in the shadows. And they’ll do whatever it takes to extinguish that flame for good…

Review:

4.5 stars for this amazing story out of Wolf Gap! This book was nonstop with something always keeping me entranced and wanting to know what was going to happen next. I fell in love with Calder in the first story of this series and was so anxious to read his story, and it so did not disappoint!! I loved getting to learn about Calder and the girls’ back story. I hated Jackie more and more as this book unfolds. I loved Hadley more and more as this book unfolds. I knew I was excited for Calder’s story. I didn’t know how much I would end up loving Hadley. She goes through so freaking much in this story, I’m just amazed by her. Strained relationships with her mom. Trust issues with her man. Missing her sibling. Desperately needing freedom but wanting to know she can still be loved by others while loving herself. Gah. This story is one you don’t want to miss. As I said before, the writing kept me locked in to this book and I had to know what was going to happen next, every chapter. We only got a small glimpse of Beckett in this book but I’m already stoked for his and Addie’s story next!! I can’t wait. Thanks for another wonderful story, Catherine Cowles! Fall in love today!

What Lovers Do by Jewel E. Ann Review and Release Blitz!

What Lovers Do by Jewel E. Ann is now live!

From bestselling author, Jewel E. Ann, comes a hilarious secret lovers story that redefines the meaning of friendship.

Shep’s found the female version of himself … and he thinks she’s perfect—perfectly unavailable.

Everyone loves Shep, the charismatic employee at Scottsdale’s newest pet store. He has shared custody of his two dogs with his annoying ex-wife and a smile that can disarm most women.

Except … Dr. Sophie Ryan.

What starts out as a disastrous first meeting, involving a coffee catastrophe and mistaken flirting, turns into an unconventional friendship.

Fake phone sex.

Dog park dates.

And eighteen holes of golf.

The problem? Sophie’s taken herself out of the dating pool for a mysterious reason, imprisoning Shep in the friend zone for eternity.

As their competitive personalities hit a boiling point, the gloves come off and so do their clothes. When Sophie’s “real” life threatens their relationship, can Shep let go of his past to chase the one that might get away?

Review:

What a cute story!! This book was exactly what I needed- something sweet, something light, something good. To me it seems just about impossible to not be charmed by Shep and Sophie. Not to say I wouldn’t have handled a few things differently than Sophie did, but still. Both of these characters are just… good. Good people who treat others how we should all treat others, with love, kindness, selflessness. This story kept me entertained from start to finish, wanting to know, needing to know how it was all going to work out! I’ve read Jewel E. Ann’s books before and knew I would enjoy her writing style but had no idea how much I would fall in love with this one. The epilogue of this story was just… perfection. I’m so glad we got to see a snippet of the future, even if I happily focused on the here and now throughout the rest of the book! If you’re interested in reading a light, contemporary romance with a friends to lovers/secret romance theme, this book is the one! Check it out today! Thank you for another incredible story, Jewel E. Ann! Can’t wait to read whatever comes next!

The Rulebreaker by Claire Contreras Review and Release Blitz!

He's a player. I'm a virgin. Yet, I can't seem to stop myself.

The Rulebreaker by Claire Contreras is now live!

Maverick Cruz and I started off as pen pals and became besties when we went to the same sports camp at age twelve.

He rooted for me at my soccer games.
I cheered for him at his hockey tournaments.

Through heartbreaks, new relationships, and failed friendships, we knew we could always count on each other.

That's why no one is more surprised--or panicked-- than I am when I start to develop different feelings for him. But Instead of telling him the truth, I agree to help him find a girlfriend.

Someone who is not me.

Someone who is so opposite of me that I have to make a list for the charade. The problem is, he wants to practice his dating skills with me. The corny pickup lines, the hand-holding, the door opening, the staring.

Before this, I thought sharing a house with him was an excellent idea. Who wouldn't want to room with their best friend? Now, the close proximity is killing me. What's worse is that I can't stop looking at him like he's a Greek god, and he can't stop seeing me as his virginal little sister. Still, I push it aside, until one night, when he's lying beside me in bed and I'm the one who forgets the rules and crosses the line between friends and something more.

It's a horrible idea. He's a player. I'm a virgin. Yet, I can't seem to stop myself.

New item on my list: DO NOT FALL FOR YOUR BEST FRIEND.

REVIEW:

I feel like I'm always starting my reviews on Claire's books with comments like, "She did it again," or "What can I say? Another incredible story." But you know what? She did do it again, she did give us another incredible story! This is why Claire Contreras is one of my favorite authors- it doesn't matter if she's writing sports romance (which this one is- hockey and soccer to be specific), or a sexy, intriguing goth romance or a book filled with so much angst that'll make you want to throw your book from time to time, but she always writes an incredible story. This book is no different. The Rulebreaker is a complete stand alone, friends to lovers romance with some college sports mixed in. It follows The Heartbreaker which focuses on Jagger Cruz (one of the delightful Cruz brothers), but The Heartbreaker does not have to be read first. Do I recommend it? Of course, because I also loved it, but again- you don't have to. 

Without going into too much detail so I can keep this review spoiler free, The Rulebreaker is just what I needed to read. It's light, filled with familiar characters I love from The Heartbreaker and just had me rooting and cheering for the two main characters, Rocky and Maverick, the whole time. There are plenty of times I want to smack Maverick over the head for dumb comments and there are other times I want to shake Rocky to ask her what she's doing, but overall I just really loved both their characters. I also loved the overall theme of family in this book. These two characters basically grew up together so they are close to the others' parents and vice versa and I just loved the relationships these families had. I love that the Cruz brothers are so close and that they look out for one another. I love that they include those who aren't blood relatives as if they were. I love the sage advice both sets of parents seem to give and that Rocky and Mav both love and respect and listen to their parents. I also love that this is a fun, college romance. Both Rocky and Maverick have goals they are determined to accomplish, but they still enjoy their lives as their story is unfolding and it was just...fun to read. 

Overall, I really enjoyed this story and I hope you'll take a chance on it too!
