True North by JB Salsbury Review and Release Blitz!

She’s his total opposite.
But she could be his everything.

True North, an all-new opposites attract contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author JB Salsbury is now available!

The North name is a heavy burden. Two things I learned young—the best way to keep my head on is to keep my head down, and… never fall in love.
But I’m a sucker for a damsel in distress.

Lillian came into my life swinging. Mistaking me for my abusive twin brother, she greets me with a swift kick to the balls and a busted lip. Then she really shakes up my world.

She needs her job, but she needs a break just as much. And nothing silences my demons as efficiently as playing the hero.

To protect her from my jerk twin—her boss—I take her on a business trip and quickly learn that she’s different. Blunt. Honest. Intriguingly strange. I’m transfixed, so when she unknowingly sinks a multimillion-dollar deal, I don’t speak up. Something my family won’t forgive.

Now, I have a choice to make. I can go against my own blood and burn the North legacy to the ground, or play it safe, commit to my self-imposed rules and predestined future. Choosing her would ruin my life as I know it, but I’m starting to wonder if a life without her is worth living.


Review:


OMG! That ending!! I’ve looked forward to every new book in this series, but with that ending… I’m going to need Hayes’ story right about now, Mrs. Salsbury!!! I’m both shocked and ecstatic about being so excited to read Hayes’ book as he is easily one of those characters that you can’t stand, but I also know JB will find a way to redeem him in the reader’s eyes.


Anyway, enough about Hades. Can we talk about Hudson and Lillian?! What a perfect match! I love everything about Hudson. I’m a sucker for a savior, probably because I just love when a man loves his woman and wants/needs to do everything he can to protect her. Yes, please! And I adore Lillian. I love her quirkiness and I love that she starts to own her ADHD and quirks towards the end. I also LOVE the collaboration that comes later in the book for her, her new job is an absolute best case scenario that I didn’t even consider but now just freaking love. I love Hudson and Lily’s relationship. I love when she gets past her insecurities and Hudson can admit to himself how he really feels. The only thing I feel like I’m missing with this book is more on how things ended up with Lily and her family. We know that she continues a relationship with Aaron even though he seems like a succubus, I just wonder what happened from the time she threw everything in the apartment at him to make him get out, to then her celebration party towards the end. I’ll likely never know but I had this thought and I felt Lily would appreciate me randomly inserting this thought into this review!


Moving on… I also of course loved getting to see the other North brothers and their partners that I’ve also previously fallen in love with. There was so much good in this book. It was a perfect installation into the North Brothers series and up to par with how fantastic the other books have been. I finished this book with a big smile on my face and also so many questions for the next story. I can’t wait!!

Rebel North by JB Salsbury Review and Release Blitz

I’m not who I led her to believe. I’m sin wrapped in silk. Betrayal masked by beauty.
And she’s not the only one with scars…

Rebel North, we an all-new addictive and swoon-worthy standalone romance from New York Times bestselling author JB Salsbury is available now!

In a city where image is everything, Gabriella turns heads for all the wrong reasons.

The marks that slash across her neck and face turn people away. But I see the beauty that lies beneath, feel a kinship to her pain.

I regret the way she found me—mugged and left for dead. I should walk away, follow the rules, but I can’t. I want to see her again. There’s only one problem.

My brother convinced her I’m gay.

I use that lie to my advantage, persuade her to be my pretend girlfriend, to help protect my fake-sexual identity from my judgmental family. But what starts as a shameless excuse to be near her leads to crossed lines and midnight confessions.

I’m not who I led her to believe. I’m sin wrapped in silk. Betrayal masked by beauty.

And she’s not the only one with scars…

Review:

“With everything I have, all the things I’ve been given, all the success I’ve worked for, she’s the only one I’ve ever needed. She’s my beating heart, my muse, the missing part of me. I’ll never be whole again without her.” JB Salsbury, Rebel North

Ahhhh, JB Salsbury did it again! Rebel North is the second book in the North Brothers series. The first book, Wild North, was a 5 star read for me and was/is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time! Rebel North and any other North bros books had big shoes to fill if they were going to live up to my love for Alexander and Jordan, and man did JB deliver!

From the beginning of this book, there’s something I just can’t put my finger on about Kingston. At first I thought, maybe I’m just not connecting as much to this character as I did others in the series… Wrong! There was just so much more to learn about Kingston, so much about him that is just surface level and when you get down to the good stuff… it’s good. His character, gah! Perfectly well written. I love the dichotomy of his character, who he is as a person. I love that people make judgments about him based on appearance and surface level things but if they take the time to really look, he surprises them in the best way. I love his heart. It’s amazing to me the heart he has and the love he has for others after the lack of love he received from his own family. He loves fiercely, passionately, whole heartedly. Multiple times in this book, my heart just broke for him but I also felt this sense of pride for him as things started to change.

Speaking of characters that make your heart go up, down, and all around… enter Gabriella. I love her too. She is compassionate, caring, loyal, willing to go above and beyond to help a friend. She won’t settle. She knows her worth and won’t allow anything less than she deserves. She’s a survivor. And she’s got some sass. I could go on and on about her as well but I’m afraid the more I say about Bee, I could give the story away and that would be such a shame.

This story was a good one. It continues to develop as you read the book. There are little hints, here and there, that make you wonder what’s going to happen? How’s this going to end? Did I miss something? What is happening? But all your questions get answered by the end. And the epilogue? 😍 I loved it. I loved this story. Once again a 5 star read for me and I cannot wait for the next book in this series!
