[Release Blitz + Review] Fated by Carly Phillips


๐Ÿ”ฅHOT NEW RELEASE๐Ÿ”ฅ
We are excited to celebrate FATED by Carly Phillips is LIVE!!


ABOUT THE BOOK.

He used to crush on her best friend.

How can he convince her falling for him won’t crush her heart?

Though Nick Mancini flirts with her like it’s his second job, Kate Andrews tries to ignore the sexy construction worker. How could he be interested in her? Not that long ago, he was in love with Kate’s best friend, Faith. His muscled body and sexy dimples are hard to resist, but Kate refuses to be anyone’s rebound girl. Been there, done that, burned the road map.

Trouble is, Kate does believe love at first sight. But it has to be a two-way street, and she’s convinced she and Nick are destined to crash and burn.

Nick can pinpoint the exact moment he gave up on Faith, and really saw Kate for the first time. He’d ticked her off and she’d been seriously angry. He’d looked right into those flashing green eyes, and he was a goner. He’s pretty sure Kate feels the same way, but despite their off-the-charts chemistry, she rejects him at every turn.

But Nick is nothing if not persistent and the longing looks she sneaks his way don’t lie. She wants him, too. For Nick to break through Kate’s barriers, he’ll have to throw out the original blueprint and come up with a whole new plan. One that takes him off guard and cements their future.

NOTE: Fated was previously published under the same title by NYT bestselling author Carly Phillips. Contains a middle school English teacher who never makes the same mistake twice, and a hunky construction worker who understands every possible definition of the word nailed. Enjoy!

AUTHOR: Molly McLain
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
TROPES: Wrong Brother/Jilted Bride/Enemies to Lovers
RELEASE DATE: June 1, 2023


BLURB.

My brother’s fiancรฉe should have been mine.

Now, I know what you’re thinking, and it’s not quite as bad as it sounds. Linc was running late for their first date and he begged me to stand in until he could get there.

I only went to tell the girl to run. To warn her about my brother’s selfish ways and promise she wanted no part of it.

But then I saw her. The stunning woman with auburn hair, sky blue eyes, and freckles I wanted to memorize.

The hour I spent with Audrey was hands down the best date of my life. Until my brother showed up.

Now, I’m covering his butt again. This time at their wedding rehearsal, because Linc hasn’t learned a damn thing. Work still comes first and that says a lot, doesn’t it?

So, sure… I’ll hold Audrey’s hand at the altar. And I’ll look into her eyes and wish like hell she would realize she deserves so much more.

I should have told her to run that night two and half years ago. Because all I want to do now is what I wasn’t bold enough to do then…

Steal her away for myself.

We are excited to celebrate REDEMPTION REFUSED by Marie James is LIVE!!


ABOUT THE BOOK.

Hooking up with the college freshman I was supposed to keep an eye on was easier than tracking her.
Kidnapping her after that first night was easier than following her around campus.
I’m massive, scarred, and tattooed. I don’t exactly fit in with her crowd.
After the job was done, cutting her loose was the hard part.
Making it through the day without seeing her became impossible.
Some may call it stalking, but I call it vigilance.
She seems invested in this game of cat and mouse we’re playing, but she’s mistaken.
I’m not a toy she can discard when she’s bored.
Trying to get her out of my system may leave us both in pieces.

[Release Blitz + Review] Beautiful Chaos by Jessie Emerson


BEAUTIFUL CHAOS by Jessie Emerson is NOW LIVE!!



ABOUT THE BOOK.

Caterina.
The woman who took possession of my heart the moment I first saw her. She was sweet, beautiful, and had a soul not meant for the type of man I was, but I couldn't let her go. She kept me sane in a world filled with madness. The vows we exchanged were made of the strongest steel and were impossible to break.

But then tragedy struck and something happened that I never expected. My love for Cat never wavered, despite the evil that invaded our lives.

Scarlett.
The woman I met by accident. She became a temptation I couldn't ignore and would never be able to give up. She tugged at the strings still attached to my heart, threatening to rip it from Cat's grasp to steal it for her own.

Now I'm split between the two. Loving one keeps my demons at bay and chases away the pain. Loving the other keeps me shrouded in shadows, tempting me to let it consume me, and giving me something I can't live without.

You can't have light if there is no darkness.

Choosing between them is not a decision I'm capable of making, so I'll keep them both.

Even if it damns me to hell.

Don't miss this age gap, forced marriage romance!

WHAT TO EXPECT: 
✔️ Mafia
✔️ Dark romance
✔️ Touch her and die
✔️ Curvy girl
✔️ Age gap
✔️ Forced marriage



BLURB.

 Okay, so, my bad for assuming the guy I was going on a date with wasn’t married. And my bad for taking him to a friend’s house for dinner, only to find out my friend is also friends with his wife. Because, in fact, he is married. And she happens to be at my friend’s house because her husband was busy working.
Confused? So am I.
Unsurprisingly, my date’s wife is super angry about finding out that her husband is a cheating asshole.
Girl, I get it.
Then, to make matters more convoluted, there is the man sitting next to my date’s wife. A man named King, who is apparently her brother, and who lives up to his name.
And since my date is a two-timing prick, I’m not going to feel bad about drooling over King, especially since I’ll never see him again.
Or at least I don’t plan to.
I plan to take an Uber to the cheater’s apartment to get my car keys.
I plan for it to be quick.
And if I had to list a thousand possible outcomes… witnessing my date’s murder, being kidnapped by his killer, and then being forced to marry the super attractive but clearly deranged crime lord, would not have been on my Bingo card.
But alas, here I am.

We are excited to celebrate HOW TO WIN THE GIRL by Sara Ney is LIVE!!


ABOUT THE BOOK.

I, Drake Colter, solemnly swear I do not want a girlfriend…

Carefree and ridiculously good-looking, I have the entire student body eating from the palm of
my hand—shouldn’t I let the ladies on campus have their fill rather than being tied down?
If only my brother Drew would take notes from my playbook. As identical twins, we share the
same voice, the same face, and the same physique; it’s virtually impossible to tell us apart—but
that’s where the similarities end
.
Lately, my brother has been whining about wanting to settle down with. He longs for affection,
companionship and all the bullshit that goes along with it blah blah blah.
Problem is, he’s hopeless when it comes to dating. It’s seriously embarrassing to watch,
considering we’re identical; everyone thinks I’m him and everyone thinks he’s me.

Luckily I’m not intimidated by woman and have plenty of experience. I might not want to find
myself a girlfriend, but that don’t mean I can’t help him. Dude never needs to know!

And that’s the very thing that lands me in trouble…

They come up with a plan. Sara doesn’t need to know.
What she doesn’t know won’t hurt her.

Four months. That's how long I'll need to pretend to be Steele Cunningham's doting girlfriend.

I agreed to this insanity only to save my restaurant. He's doing it because he needs someone outside his "social circle" to stick it to his meddling parents and clingy ex.

Ruthless and emotionless in both his personal life and his career, Steele's ego rivals his net worth.

Operating on joy and positivity—and a healthy bit of feistiness—I challenge him at every step.

He's a tin man—heartless and cold. Falling for him would be a colossal mistake, because there's no chance he'll ever love me.

He can't.

After all, he's the man with an armored heart.
