Broken men don’t fall in love.

We linger in the darkness, consumed by the sins that define us.

Irina is the sole reason my heart beats. She’s everything that matters in a world filled with evil that a woman so good and pure should never have to see.

She’ll add another scar to my collection — this one engraved on my heart.

When she’s taken by our enemy to use for his vengeance. Even knowing she can never be mine, I’ll stop at nothing to see her safe.

The Irina I rescue isn’t the same feisty woman they stole.

Her soul is broken. Her heart is hollow like mine, because of the things she’s seen. She needs me in a way I’ve never known.

And I will destroy the man who shattered what’s mine.

Scarred Regrets is a full-length standalone romance, but the series presents a better reading experience when following the suggested order.

On a scale of one to ten, Quinn Thompson is a fifteen.

Gorgeous. Fiery. A cheerleader so far out of my league it’s embarrassing that I even fantasize about her.

I need to find a way to shut down the dirty thoughts she inspires before it’s too late. If I don’t, this whole new life of mine is at risk.

Easier said than done when temptation lives right down the hall.

For such a smart guy, CK can be surprisingly clueless.

Sweet. Shy. The star of all my naughty nerd fantasies, but utterly blind to my flirtations.

Giving in to his plea to be his love coach may seem drastic, but I’m desperate for the chance to come off the bench.

Too bad the friend zone was a hell of a lot safer for my heart.

MY REVIEW.

5 Stars from Brianna!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sasha Leone is a brand new to me author and whoa. Whew y'all. 🥵🥵 what. a. book. this was. I wanted to read this book purely for the blurb and that AGE GAP (they were the IT factor for me) but yeah. Not what I expected yet everything I did in this beauty, if that makes sense? 😉

Savage Don is the sixth standalone in the Brutal Reign series and y'all yowza. This book was all kinds of dark and delicious and intense in ALLLLLL the moments and gahh. My heart. My panties, y'all- completely incinerated, holy smokes! Seriously, the heat, steam, angst, drama, suspense, twists, intensity, fire, edge of your seat moments that this story packed was hard, deep, rough at times, and literally from cover to cover.

Ray and Francesa hooked me early on in their story and these two were unforgettable every single time they were on the page... so basically the whole book 😉 but whew, the fire.. the chemistry.. their fight to the end. I'm so so glad I read this beaut.

I'll be totally honest- I had zero idea this was in a series when i jumped to read it. I also had no issues following along.. and if anything, it made me more curious about this author and this series in particular.

I recommend this book and I'll be going back super soon to check out the prior ones in this series.

ABOUT THE BOOK.

Through smoke and fire, she’s all I see.

Nothing gives me a bigger rush than when I’m responding to an emergency call.

As a firefighter EMT, my mission has always been clear.

Until I arrive at the scene of an accident and a dark-haired vixen, quite literally, trips into my life.

I quickly learn there’s more to the gorgeous photographer than meets the eye.

Meadow Matthews isn’t a woman who needs saving, but she just might save me.

As a single mom to an adorable little boy, she leaves little time for play.

Which is why, when I approach her with a fun opportunity, she instantly declines. 

Unfortunately, snapping photos of greased-up firefighters for a calendar isn’t her thing.

Lucky for us, she fires me up just enough to convince her otherwise

AUTHOR: Brittainy Cherry

GENRE: Contemporary Romance

RELEASE DATE: December 9, 2021

BLURB.

I always believed in fairy tales, but he preferred horrors.

Damian Blackstone didn’t care about my existence. He came into my world for one reason only. He came to find answers about his past.

He moved like the villain in my favorite fairy tales. He wasn’t the one who received the happily ever afters; he was the one who destroyed them.

Which was why I couldn’t understand why the man who raised me set it up in his will for Damian and me to be married. I wasn’t certain I’d be able to live with a man like Damian. We were as opposite as any two people could be. I loved to bathe in the sunlight while he prospered in the shadows.

I didn’t think I’d develop feelings for the one who looked at me as if I were nothing more than a means to an end. Yet in his darkness, sometimes I’d see sparks of light. I’d see gentleness. I’d see his soul.

We became entangled with one another as we fell into mistakes and called them fate. I was his Cinderella, and he was my Beast.

I wasn’t certain that twisted fairy tales ended with happily ever afters.

Still, I was determined to find out.

AUTHOR: Aurora Paige

GENRE: Contemporary Romance

RELEASE DATE: December 15, 2021

BLURB.

She’s a curvy, tech-savvy project developer that hates commitment.

He’s a hot bar owner with no desire to settle down.

What happens when you rent a date for the holiday, but a phone app matches you to your forever-plus-one?

Alexis

Commitment wasn’t a priority. I was an independent woman and handled everything on my own, no man necessary. My family couldn’t understand the concept. So, I developed the Holidates app to help people like me who just needed a date to bring home to their families during the holidays. I tested it out on myself and my holidate turned out better than expected—nice, likeable, easy to be with. Of course, I forgot that relationships were simple when there was nothing on the line. No future, no heartbreak, no getting along for long periods of time. Then the unthinkable happened. We were snowed in and had to share a bed. No biggie. Until I realized I wanted to share more than one night. But a deal is a deal. And I wouldn’t break it...unless that’s what he wanted, too.

Wesley

I never met a woman who didn’t want a long-term commitment. So when a dating app matched me with Alexis, we were the perfect couple, blissful in our “for now” arrangement. I could survive anything for a few days. Except with her, I wasn’t just surviving--I was actually enjoying myself. When bad weather ruined our chance to go home and end the date, I was happy about it. I wasn’t ready to be done, so I bit the bullet and asked her to be my New Year’s Eve holidate, too. She agreed, but she didn’t know I planned to have her all the days in between. I wasn’t a resolution kind of guy, but if I was, I’d vow to convince Lexi to be mine forever.

The Holidates Series

Need a date for a holiday event? A family dinner with nosy relatives pestering you about settling down? The Holidates App is the perfect answer to your busy lifestyle needs. With this dating app, find the perfect rental date; both parties set the terms and conditions, absolutely no strings attached.

Join your favorite instalove authors every month of the year for a new holidate story gone bad...or oh so right. Holidates will prove tested and true to give you ALL the feels and become your new favorite app.

[Release Blitz + Review] My Unexpected Surprise by Piper Rayne

🔥🔥HOT NEW RELEASE🔥🔥

MY UNEXPECTED SURPRISE by Piper Rayne is LIVE!!

ABOUT THE BOOK.

I never thought of myself as dad material.

Until my one-night stand showed up in my small Alaskan town five months pregnant.

But I don’t shy away from responsibility. First, because I’m a Greene and not to boast but we’re kind of a big deal in Sunrise Bay. Second, I’m the Sheriff.

I couldn’t have predicted how protective I’d become for the safety of her and my unborn baby to the point of asking her to move in with me and be my roommate.

Just when I think I have the situation under control, another surprise knocks me over, but it only spurs me to double down.

I’ll be the first to admit, I didn’t think it through. Somewhere between the dinners, the TV show binging, the doctor appointments, and me walking in on her naked, lines blurred.

In what feels like warp speed, my bachelor for life status is in jeopardy and I’m fighting for the most important thing of all—my family.

[Release Blitz + Review] Shelter by Kristen Proby

SHELTER by Kristen Proby is NOW LIVE!!

ABOUT THE BOOK.

A small town, close proximity romance from New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kristen Proby.

Remi Carter has survived her fifteen minutes of fame and is putting LA in her rearview mirror. As a former reality show contestant, she's trading staged expeditions and faked wilderness tours for real adventures. Only one fluke storm in Glacier National Park has her stranded with a handsome man, and adventure takes on a whole new meaning.

Seth King is as rugged and sexy as he is annoyed to be trapped with Remi. Probably because she ghosted him at the local bar not three days ago. But she's got her reasons for ditching him, and twenty-four hours in an abandoned Montana cabin with the wildlife biologist isn't nearly enough time to explain. As tempting as he is by firelight, she's been burned too many times.

Except one day together and suddenly her travel van doesn't hold as much appeal. The open road feels lonely. Remi's about to learn that shelter is more than a safe place to weather a storm.

Shelter might just be the man himself. If he can give her a reason to stay.
