[Release Blitz + Review] Love Hard by Monica James

 

TITLE: Love Hard

A Memoir

AUTHOR: Monica James

GENRE: Creative Non-Fiction

RELEASE DATE: May 15, 2024

BLURB.

If love is an addiction, your first love is the first hit.

How many of you remember your first love?

Because falling in love for the first time…I remember that. And that’s the thing about your first love—we all have a love story.

But this isn’t a love story.

This is a life story.

The good.

The bad.

The heartache.

It’s all here.

Love is truly a battlefield…

Love is scary, and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. When you love someone wholeheartedly, you leave yourself open to being destroyed…and that’s what I did, what I still do even though I know better.

But it doesn’t make a difference.

The best kind of love doesn’t make sense. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.

This one-in-a-million story is mine, and if you take anything away from this book, it would be to never be afraid to love.

So, let me introduce myself. You may call me Z.

Buckle up, besties, because this will be a bumpy ride.

Love hits you when you least expect it.

Are you ready for the fall?

BLURB.

Mike Granger is a divorced single dad of twin teenage daughters. He’s worked hard to maintain a good relationship with not only his daughters but his ex-wife. Their blended family is what people consider the exception, not the rule. At thirty-eight, Mike’s given up hope of finding the one. He dates, but even then, he keeps women at arm’s length, never really allowing himself to get too close.

Natasha ‘Tasha’ Torres is a first grade teacher who has kissed her fair share of frogs that never, not once, turned into a prince. She wants to believe in love and happily ever afters, but it’s especially hard after her last breakup.

After Tasha almost gets Mike arrested due to a misunderstanding when he pretends to be someone he’s not, he shocks her by inviting her to dinner, and they spend an incredible night together.

Too bad she doesn’t hear from him after.

There are moments in life you can’t ignore. Moments where the world seems smaller than you could have ever imagined, almost like life is trying to give you hints about the one you should be with. But will Mike listen? Or will his ego get the best of him when he jumps to conclusions at every turn?

Get ready for a boom-tastic good time with this insta-love that reminds you love and family can look different for everyone!

Until Mike is part of Aurora Rose Reynolds' Happily Ever Alpha World. If you loved Until December and Until July, then you will want to read Until Mike.

[Release Blitz + Giveaway] The Hustler by Gina Azzi

TITLE: The Hustler

SERIES: Boston Hawks Hockey #8

AUTHOR: Gina Azzi

GENRE: Contemporary Sports Romance

RELEASE DATE: January 6, 2022

BLURB.

Theodore Edward Sims was supposed to be my hot summer hook-up, a stranger I slept with in Hawaii. Now, he's my stepbrother's new hockey teammate.

When we met, Theo was a sexy surfer in Maui, riding waves by day and rocking my world at night. After being played for a fool by my ex-fiancé, Theo proved to be a source of instant gratification.

He was refreshingly honest, engaging, and incredibly charming. Theo built me up when it felt like my world was crumbling down.

Turns out, he's just like my ex. A liar.

To avoid the gossip of my failed engagement, I hightail it to Boston, where I'm forced to cross paths with a new version of Theo, aka Eddie Sims, Boston Hawks right wing. Here, he isn't the well-connected, alluring surfer but a determined, angry hockey hunk with something to prove. Especially to me.

Except I've written him off. Once a liar, always a liar.

But Theo isn't backing down. Instead, he's hustling for my forgiveness. If I give him another chance, will he live up to his apologies? Or am I just lying to myself?
