ABOUT THE BOOK.

NYT & USA-T bestselling author Shayla Black returns with a new story in her More Than Words series.

 

I’m Hayes Elliott. Since second grade, I’ve had one best friend, Echo Hope. When she graduates from college, of course I have to give her something amazing. Since I’ll be on a business trip to Maui, I’m bringing her along for a week of fun and sun. But once she sheds her long skirts, serious buns, and combat boots for bikinis, I can’t deny how stunning she is…and I can’t stop wanting her. Worse, she’s determined to lose her V-card—and has asked one of our man-whoring buddies to pluck it.

 

I’ve got to step in.

 

It’s underhanded, but I offer to do the job properly. Since I’m no one’s Prince Charming, I have no intention of following through. Suddenly, the kisses start and the clothes come off…and I can’t remember why I’m not supposed to make her mine in every way. Or why I shouldn’t be in love with her. But if I want Echo for more than a vacation fling, I’ll have to fight. And she’s about to find out how determined I am to upgrade my best friend to wife.

 

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

ABOUT THE BOOK.

 

Teri

Silence.

That’s all I had from him for years.

Broken promises.

Dreams of a life we should have had.

Except he left me behind.

And then he showed up, scarred and broken.

I can’t save him.

Hell, I can’t even save myself.

When he promises me the world, I know he’s full of shit.

But that doesn’t stop me from letting him in.

From hoping he’s not going to break me again.

Logan

I made promise after promise.

Broke every single one of them without looking back.

Okay, that’s a lie.

I looked back, and I made damned sure she never loved anyone else.

She’s always belonged to me.

I know I’m not a good man.

I may be dense, but I’m not a f*cking idiot.

When I get the chance to have her, I take it.

Her kiss.

Her smell.

The way she screams my name.

In the dark pit of my life, she’s the only salvation.

And I’ll destroy anything that tries to take her from me again.

ABOUT THE BOOK.

Five hockey players, a cabin in the woods . . . and little old me, Winnie Berlin.

Sounds like the start of a fantasy, right? But it's not. It's my reality.

It all started when I got lost in the middle of the Canadian Rockies. A wicked thunderstorm sent my car mud sliding into a ditch and for a girl whose survival skills involve finding the nearest Starbucks, I was in deep trouble.

Forced to abandon my car in search of help, I stumbled upon a cabin in the middle of nowhere. Soaking wet, irritated, and in desperate need of a hot shower, I knocked on the door for help only to be greeted by five boisterous, burly, and insanely attractive men.

Not just men.

Professional hockey players.

I hit the motherload of fantasies, right? Wrong.

Because as it turns out, one of them is my ex-boyfriend's half-brother. And when I end up crashing in their spare bedroom for the night, things take a very unexpected turn.

I'm not sure any amount of survival skills can protect my heart from Vancouver Agitators star goalie, Pacey Lawes. But as long as we kiss and don’t tell, maybe everything will be okay . . .

ABOUT THE BOOK.

Fake.

Being the heir to Jacobs Enterprises, I’ve been around fake people my entire life. I promised myself a long time ago that I wouldn’t change for anyone. Which is the only reason I’m a professional hockey player who lives on the beach and does as he pleases without answering to anyone—except my father.

And now, my daughter.

Being a single dad wasn’t in the plan but after a one-night stand who took off after the baby was born, this is my reality.

My dad’s been harping on me to quit hockey and join the company for years and now that I’m a father, he’s only intensified his efforts. Until he makes me a deal I can’t refuse.

Insert Lena Boyd, the Jacobs’ family PR rep. She’s beautiful and intelligent and not at all the woman for me—ask anyone.

My dad needs us to act happily engaged and sell the idea that we’re in love. If we’re successful I won’t have to join the family legacy—ever. Of course, I agree.

That’s when things get complicated. I thought I had her all figured out until I found out there was more underneath her judgmental sneers and eye rolls. It feels like everything is coming together for the future I really want—with Lena—until my past ruins everything.

[Blog Tour] When Sparks Fly by Helena Hunting

“Helena Hunting is quickly making her way as one of the top voices in romance” --RT Reviews

 

WHEN SPARKS FLY, an all-new emotional and hilarious friends-to-lovers standalone romance from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting is AVAILABLE NOW!!

ABOUT THE BOOK.

Charming, hilarious, and emotional...When Sparks Fly is Helena Hunting at her very best!

 

Avery Spark is living her best life. Between her friends, her sisters, and Spark House, the event hotel her family owns, she doesn’t have much time for anything else, especially relationships. She’d rather hang out with her best friend and roommate, Declan McCormick, than deal with the dating scene. But everything changes when she is in a car accident and needs someone to care for her as she heals.

 

Declan avoids relationships, giving him a playboy reputation that he lives up to when he puts a one-night stand ahead of a promise he made to Avery. While he may not have been the one driving the car, he feels responsible for Avery’s injuries and is determined to make it up to her by stepping into the role of caretaker.

 

Little did they know that the more time they spend in compromising positions, the attraction they’ve been refusing to acknowledge becomes impossible to ignore. When they finally give in to the spark between them, neither is prepared for the consequences. Their love is fragile and all it will take is a blow from the past to shatter it all.

ONE DAY LIKE THIS by Scarlett Cole is LIVE!!

ABOUT THE BOOK.

Matt

Loving Izabel Bryson should be the easiest thing in the world. Heck, she’s been the inspiration for at least half a dozen of the songs he’s written for his rock band, Sad Fridays.

He’s loved her for a decade.

But she’s his best friend and fellow-band mate’s little sister, and he promised a decade ago that he’d never put his hands on her.

She can never be his, no matter how much he craves her.

Izabel

Loving Matt Palmer is the most hopeless thing in the world.

The hours she spends running her friend’s yoga studio and volunteering at the Manchester homeless shelter only go so far in distracting her from the painful truth.

He doesn’t want her.

Because she screwed up that awful night two years before when she slept with Matt’s brother.

He will never be hers, no matter how much she yearns for him.

When a good deed leads to one bed, and one night of ruthless honesty, everything is laid bare. They belong together, but acting on it will cost them everything.

[Release Blitz + Review] Inmate of the Month by Lani Lynn Vale

𝐈𝐍𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐇 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰!!

ABOUT THE BOOK.

 A porn video changed his life.

One second, he has an ex with an ax to grind, and the next, he’s internet famous—and definitely not in a good way. In an, it’ll ruin your career, kind of way.

Only, Laric didn’t know that he was internet famous.

Not until a black-haired beauty walks into his life, and stumbles over every word that she says because all she can picture is him doing the unthinkable for the world to see.

Sadly, that’s not the only thing wrong in his life. His world is messed up, and he likes it that way.

There’s no room for a woman that wants to fix him.

Because fixing requires intimacy, and intimacy isn’t something that Laric does. Not after the life that he’s lived, and the things he’s done to survive. Oh, and let’s not forget the fact that he’s a felon, and he has no regrets about how he got that title.

The last thing he needs in his life is a woman that has her head in the clouds and thinks this world is made of butterflies and confetti.

However, Catori isn’t who she seems.

The day she meets tall, dark, and handsome, he saves her life. And then never leaves—though not for his lack of trying.

Not that she’s complaining about the way they’re thrown together, time after time. She’s more than willing to have a man like Laric around. Mostly because she’s already seen the good in him that he refuses to admit that’s there.

He may be a biker that does questionable things, but in her heart, she knows that he does those bad things for good reasons. And she’s not about to throw away the chance at happiness just because he thinks he knows what’s best for her.

Plot twist: she knows what’s best for her. And that’s him.

God help her.

Until now. Until her.

She's not a warrior, she's an artist. She sees colors everywhere and greets the world—and me—with a smile. I knew I shouldn't come near her from the beginning, but she's everything I've never been able to be.

And now a monster has taken her, caged her, to get even with me.

My code name is Aries. And I will burn the world to the ground to get her back.

MY REVIEW.

4 Stars from Tiffany!

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Emotional Roller Coaster Ride...

For me anyway. As in I wasn't sure if I even liked this book for the first few chapters. Then I reminded myself these two were pretty young dealing with heavy emotions. This review may spoil the first book on the series.

When we left Nash and Aya things were not good. Now eleven months later, we rejoin them as they live thier lives separately. They are both desperately trying not to become somebody they hate, yet that seems to be the path they are on. Nothing but destruction ahead for these two.

As cliché as it is, with his broken heart Nash fell pretty quickly into the drinking and drugs of rock and roll life. Thinking it was way better to be numb than feel the pain from Aya this many months later. She's not any better. Aya is not happy with her father and has a sneaking suspicion he took her for his own gain. Not surprised there at all.

We start at eleven months later and keep jumping time, letting the chips fall where they may with these two. To me, it was time they needed to grow up and finally be able to discuss what happened with Lindsey in high school. The are constantly fawning over each other, however never really getting out what needs to be said. They are still two very different young people who are still very much in love.

The book is well written with lots o back and forth, which got a little tiring at times. They needed to, pardon my French, S or get off of the pot already because I started to zone out. The beginning was good, lackluster middle and then Alexa Padgett picked it up towards the end. Of course this isn't the end for these two, but a much better end than the first time around.

🧡💙🧡💙🧡💙

SULTRY OBLIVION

The boy she fell for was her superstar. Now, he's a rock legend.

Their love becomes a media circus.

Aya and Nash are amazing together, but the rest of the world isn't so happy with their relationship. The paparazzi hound them. Bloggers and fans tear the couple down. Even Nash's bandmates are sharpening their claws.

Every stolen moment together is a fight. Against jealousy. Against Aya's fear of the limelight. Against the world. Worse, her history with his fame threatens Nash's hard-won and tentative grasp on trust.

Their passion burns brighter than the strongest flame, but can it survive its time in the public eye?

SULTRY OBLIVION is book 3 in the angsty bestselling rockstar romance series OBLIVION. Start reading now—and fall in beat with Nash and Aya's heart-stealing romance!

MY REVIEW.

4 Stars from Tiffany!

⭐⭐⭐⭐

More and More Drama

Boy oh boy is Alexa Padgett taking Nash and Aya on the drama ride of thier young lives. Not sure if these two will ever figure things out. This review may contain spoilers for book two.

"I wish we'd been older, more mature, better and expressing ourselves. That I'd given you the opportunity to explain, that I hadn't hurt you that day."

There it is, the crux of this young, volatile relationship. These two have been through hell and back and really have zero ways to communicate it. He likes to numb and she likes to run. There is something that keeps them together, if only they could move on from the past.

"That we had less dysfunctional childhoods. Less grief and loss and crazy backstabbing."

At first I felt Nash was the problem, however this time around I see clearly that it is both of them and honestly, they would be better apart. However, they insist on seeing this thing through, so we are along for the bumpy ride that is thier love story.

"I'd committed to him on one level, but not with my trust."

The Lindsey thing hangs heavy in Aya's mind, something she thinks about and brings up often. No matter how many times she hears that it wasn't Nash's fault, the anger and humiliation are still there. Something she's trying her best to work through.

"We had to firm our foundation, to grow so strong together that pettiness and lies wouldn't matter."

Preach it sister! The book is well written and pretty much about the above, these two kids learning to trust and move forward. Too bad there is yet another wrench thrown in thier plans. As the third book in the series, Sultry Oblivion offers up much more detail and again, we are left with some unfinished business.
