REVIEW – DAMNABLE GRACE (Hades Hangmen, #5) by Tillie Cole

1 Comment

SYNOPSIS

EVEN THE BROKEN, THROUGH LOVE, CAN FIND GRACE…

Secrets never stay hidden.

The burden of guilt never lifts from the heart.

Born and raised in The Order of David, Sister Phebe knows nothing but cult life. Head of the Sacred Sisters of New Zion, Phebe was groomed from childhood for one purpose: to seduce. Prized as a harlot, as a New Zion whore, Phebe is taken from the doomed cult by Meister, the notorious leader of the Aryan Brotherhood. Taken as his possession. Taken to be the woman who will obey his every sexual demand. Under his heavy hand, Phebe finds herself in a place much worse than she could ever have imagined… with absolutely no one to help. And no glimpse of hope.

Xavier ‘AK’ Deyes is content with his life as Sergeant-At-Arms of the Hades Hangmen. Leader of the infamous ‘Psycho Trio’ and ex-special ops sniper, AK knows how to fight. Experienced in warfare and schooled in military operations, AK is vital to the Hangmen. When his Vice President needs help retrieving his missing sister-in-law, Phebe, from a Klan-funded trafficking ring, AK volunteers to go in. AK remembers the redhead from New Zion. Remembers everything about her from the single time they met—her red hair, blue eyes and freckled face. But when he finds her, heavily drugged and under Meister’s control, her sorry condition causes him to remember more than the beautiful woman he once tied to a tree. Saving Phebe forces hidden demons from his past to return. A past he can never move on from, no matter how hard he tries.

As AK fights to help Phebe, and in turn she strives to help him, they realize their secret sins will never leave them alone. Kindred broken souls, they realize the only way they can be rid of their ghosts is to face them together and try to find peace.

Despair soon turns to hope, and damaged hearts soon start to heal. But when their deep, painful scars resurface, becoming too much to bear, the time comes when they must make a heavy choice: stay forever damned; or together, find grace.

Dark Contemporary Romance. Contains explicit sexual situations, violence, disturbingly sensitive and taboo subjects, offensive language and very mature topics. Recommended for age 18 and over.

In the comfort of his safe embrace, I let sleep pull me under. And for the first time in my life, I lay in bed with a man and just slept.
My body protected in his arms…
…and perhaps my soul too.

PHENOMENAL!!!

I truly believe that Tillie Cole does not have it in her to write a mediocre story and I am beyond grateful for that fact. I devour everything she writes and the Hades Hangmen is by far the most creative and best MC series out there. Honestly, this series was the reason why I started blogging! Everyone who has fallen in love with the Hades Hangmen will surely love A.K. and Phebe’s story as much as I did! Up until now, Flame has been the Hero that I loved the most in this series, but now he just might have to share my love with A.K. Up until now, we never really got a true sense of the type of man A.K. is, but in this book, this man outshines them all!

If you have been reading this series religiously you know there are some pretty nasty characters and there is some really horrifying subject matter that is ever present throughout. The women who end up owning the hearts and minds of their alpha male Hangmen all come from a religious cult run by the most despicable men who practice daily rituals of rape with girls who are as young as six. They each have lived a life that is worse than any nightmare you could ever imagine. It is always the rough around the edges, outlaw Hades Hangmen member whose love and utter devotion help them to move on from their horrific pasts, but every Heroine also plays a part in healing the souls of the man they love. So you could say these ladies are not just mere damsels in distress. They are some of the toughest and most fierce women you will ever come across in a story.

We knew from DEEP REDEMPTION that Phebe truly regretted her part in her sister’s torture and that she was no longer blinded by her faith in all the false prophets of the New Zion. She ends up being sold to one of the most psychotic and deranged leaders of a white supremacist group that was dealing in guns with the cult. Meister has had an obsession with Phebe and he is far more sadistic and brutal than any of the cult leaders that have raped and sodomized the young girls and women of the cursed and sacred sisters. What we learn is that from an early age Phebe was also taught all the ways to please a man sexually and that she became so good at it that she was titled the ”sacred sister”. She had been sent outside the commune to entice and lure men to join their cult. But now since the fall of Judah, she has been held captive by Meister and let’s just say that it is truly a miracle that she hasn’t tried to take her own life.

The Hangmen are on a mission to rescue Phebe and A.K. most of all wants to get her safely back to their compound. He hasn’t been able to forget the beautiful redhead with the soulful eyes. He had seen something of himself inside of her and the thought of her being brutalized on a daily basis by Meister has been tearing him up inside. Ultimately the psycho trio infiltrates the KKK’s compound and are able to rescue Phebe. There’s a rough and painful road that lays ahead of Phebe while A.K. helps to detox her from all the illegal drugs that were pumped into her veins. Not only was her body nearly broken but she came close to losing her sanity. Somehow her will to survive seems to be stronger than all the demons that haunt her during her waking and sleeping hours. It is during A.K. and Phebe’s alone time together that we learn of some heartbreaking secrets that torment them. Life seems to have brought them nothing but pain and unbearable guilt, but they have the ability to see into each other’s souls and together there is a possibility of forgiveness and healing.

Aside from the action and the romance between A.K. and Phebe, we find out how the Psycho trio (A.K., Flame, and Vike), became so close. We also learn how A.K. met Flame and felt an almost instant need to help and protect him. I enjoyed getting their full back story and every tender moment between Ash and Flame nearly had me tearing up.

This is definitely one of my favorites in this series! It’s also up there as one of the darkest. There were moments when I found it hard to get through certain scenes. Tillie’s writing is just that powerful. I felt like these things were really happening to someone I knew. She makes you fall and care for these characters. I know that if you have loved this series all along, your expectations will be exceeded!

The Gravity of Us, an all-new gripping and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now!

The Gravity of Us by Brittainy C. Cherry

Release Date: April 13th, 2017
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Cover Designer: Quirkybird Designs

Graham Russell and I weren’t made for one another.

I was driven by emotion; he was apathetic. I dreamed while he lived in nightmares. I cried when he had no tears to shed.

Despite his frozen heart and my readiness to run, we sometimes shared seconds. Seconds when our eyes locked and we saw each other’s secrets. Seconds when his lips tasted my fears, and I breathed in his pains. Seconds when we both imagined what it would be like to love one another.

Those seconds left us floating, but when reality knocked us sideways, gravity forced us to descend.

Graham Russell wasn’t a man who knew how to love, and I wasn’t a woman who knew how to either. Yet if I had the chance to fall again, I’d fall with him forever.

Even if we were destined to crash against solid ground.

Excerpt:

Lucy

We didn’t know how to act with one another after our first kiss. Our situation wasn’t the norm when it came to building a relationship. We did everything backward. I fell in love with a boy before our first kiss, and he fell for a girl who he wasn’t allowed to have. Our connection, our heartbeats, matched one another in our fairytale world, but in reality, society deemed us as an awful accident.

Maybe we were an accident—a mistake.

Maybe we were never supposed to cross each other’s paths.

Maybe he was only meant to be a lesson in life and not a permanent mark.

But still, the way he kissed me…

Our kiss was as if heaven and hell collided together, and each choice was right and wrong at the same exact time. We kissed as if we were making a mistake and the best decision all at once. His lips made me float higher, yet somehow descend. His breaths somehow made my heart beat faster as it came to a complete halt.

Our love was everything good and bad wrapped in one kiss.

A part of me knew I should’ve regretted it, but the way his lips warmed up the cold shadows of my soul…the way he left his mark on me…

I’d never regret finding him, holding him, even if we only had those few seconds as one.

He’d always be worth those tiny seconds we shared.

He’d always be worth that soul-connecting feeling we created when our lips touched.

He’d always be the one I spent my nights dreaming of being near.

He’d always be worth it to me.

Sometimes when your heart wanted a full-length novel, the world only gave you a novella, and sometimes when you wanted forever you only had those few seconds of now.

And all I could do, all anyone could ever do, was make each moment count.

After we went home that night, we didn’t talk about it at all. Not the following week, either. I focused on Talon. Graham worked on his novel. I believed both of us were waiting for the right time to come up for us to speak about it, but that was the tricky thing about timing: it was never right.

Sometimes you just had to leap and hope you didn’t fall.

TheHotShot Amazon-2First we were friends. Then we were roommates. Now I want more…

What can I say about Chess Copper? The woman is capable of bringing me to my knees. I know this about five minutes after getting naked for her.

No one is more surprised than me. The prickly photographer my team hired to shoot our annual charity calendar isn’t my usual type. She’s defense to my offense, a challenge at every turn. But when I’m with her, all the regrets and darkness goes away. She makes life fun.

I want to know Chess, be close to her. Which is a bad idea.

Chess is looking for a relationship. I’ve never given a woman more than one night. But when fate leaves Chess without a home, I step up and offer her mine. We’re roommates now. Friends without benefits. But it’s getting harder to keep our hands off each other. And the longer we live together the more I realize she’s becoming my everything.

Trick is… Now that I’ve made her believe I’m a bad bet, how do I convince her to give this player a true shot at forever?

CHESS

 

Grumbling, I toss on some black lounge pants and my oversized Tulane t-shirt and head to the drugstore.

My head throbs by the time I get there, and my insides are writhing. I rest my hand against my lower stomach and grab a basket before calling James to complain.

“I swear,” I tell him as I grab a bottle of painkillers. “It’s like this entire day has been cursed.”

He snickers. “Curse. Get it? Curse?”

I roll my eyes, even though he can’t see me. “Laugh it up. Meanwhile, it feels as if someone is playing Battleship in my uterus.”

“Poor Chessie bear. At least we know why you were in such a foul mood.”

A flush washes over my cheeks. “Yeah.” Lie. Lie. Lie. A tub of salted caramel gelato makes its way into the basket.

“Tell me you’re getting some gelato,” James says.

I smile. “Just grabbed it.”

“Salted caramel?”

“You know it.”

I find the feminine products aisle and search for my brand. “I’m going to go home, take a long bath with my gelato, and forget this fucking day.” Forget Finn. “And then I’m going to go on Amazon and buying a freaking year’s supply of tampons so I don’t have to make these kinds of emergency runs anymore.”

A low, deep chuckle rumbles from behind me, and all the tiny hairs lift on my arms.

“But you’ll still need your gelato,” a familiar—fuck me, seriously?—voice points out.

My insides swoop even as my cheeks burn.

“Who is that?” James asks in my ear.

I slowly turn on one heel. “The plague,” I say, glaring up at Finn Mannus’s smiling face.

“From asshat to plague.” Finn scrunches up his brow. “I’m not sure if that’s a step down or a tie.”

“Who is that?” James nearly yells now.

I don’t take my eyes off Finn. “I’ll call you back.”

James’s squawks of protest cut off as I hit the end button.

“Are you stalking me, Mannus?”

Finn a rests his hands low on his lean hips. “Having a healthy amount of conceit myself, I have to admire yours, but no, buttercup. My buddy Woodson lives a few blocks away. It’s poker night. I’m stocking up on beer.”

It’s only then I notice a twelve pack tucked under his other arm.

“And tampons?” I ask, with a pointed look around the aisle we’re standing in.

“Not tonight,” he says easily. “Though we used to keep a pack of them back in college. Light flows were perfect for stopping up bloody noses.”

A snort escapes me. “Now there’s a visual.” Somehow, I’ve taken a step closer to him. He’s freshly showered, the golden brown strands of his hair still damp at his temples. And I wonder if he’s just come from the gym or practice. “So back in college you went and bought these tampons?”

“Nah,” he says with a cheeky smile. “I’d ask one of the girls hanging around to get me some.”

“Of course you did.” My nose wrinkles with annoyance.

“Give me a little credit, Chess. I’d buy them now if I had to.”

“Hmm…” I eye him, trying not to return his smile. If only because it’s more fun when he teases. “So why are you in this aisle now, if not for potential nosebleed needs?”

“That’s easy.” He steps closer, a warm wall of muscle and clean scent. “I heard your voice.”

For a second I just blink. “You recognized my voice?”

His gaze darts over my face as if he’s trying to get a read on why I’m gaping at him. “Not to be…ah…rude, but you’re loud when you talk on the phone.”

“Yeah, but… You recognized it.” We’d only just met. It occurs to me that I’d recognized his both times he’d snuck up on me. Then again, his voice is distinctive, flowing like hot honey when he’s relaxed or hammering down like iron to rock when he’s taking command of a situation.

A soft flush of pink tints the tips of his ears. If I wasn’t staring at him, I might have missed it. He shifts his weight. “Was I not supposed to?”

“No. Yes.” I shake my head and laugh. “I don’t know.”

He grins then. “You’re cute when you’re flustered.”

“I’m not flustered.” I am.

Coming Summer 2017

One is a Promise

Release Date: June 6, 2017
Amazon | Other Retailers | Goodreads

One promise.
One forever.

One look and I knew Cole was mine. My dark rebel in leather. My powerhouse of passion, devastating smiles, and impulsiveness.
When his job sends him overseas, he promises to return to me.
A promise that’s destroyed in the most irrevocable way.

Two years later, an arrogant suit invades my heartbroken loneliness.

Clean-cut and stern, Trace is everything Cole wasn’t.
At first, he’s a job that will rescue my dance company. But as he intrudes on my life, our hostile relationship evolves.
He knows I’m still in love with Cole, but his dedication is my undoing.

Then a catastrophic moment changes everything.

Promises resurface.
Lies entangle.
And an impossible choice shatters my world.

I love two men, and I can only have one.

Two is a Lie

Release Date: July 11, 2017
Amazon | Other retailers | Goodreads

Two lies.
Two men who don’t share.

I never stopped loving Cole. Not when he left me. Not when he disappeared for three years. Not when he crashed back into my life in a violent explosion of testosterone and fury.
His sudden reappearance questions everything I thought I knew, including how I came to love another man.

Trace is an intoxicating breeze of seduction over ice. My rock. My second chance at forever.
And he’s committed to annihilating the competition.

The battle that ensues wrenches me back and forth between them.
Fighting and fucking.
Resisting and submitting.

Together, they entangle me in a web of lies, rivalry, and desire that weaves as deeply as their devotion to me.

I love two men, and if I can only have one, I choose none.

Three is a War

Release Date: August 29, 2017
Preorder Links | Goodreads

Three means war.
Three sides vying for forever.

Cole.
My first love.
The bad boy with the dangerous smile and passionate temper draws attention like a lit fuse on dynamite. But his dark molten eyes spark only for me.

Trace.
My second chance.
Over six feet of Norse god in a tailored suit, he calculates every move and seizes my hungry breaths with an iron fist.

Me.
The free-spirited dancer, torn between two men with no resolution in sight.
I tried leaving, staying, refusing, and surrendering.
What options do I have left?

I love two men, and I do the only thing I can. I fight.

5 Falling For Finn Stars!

Finn Mannus aka Manny is a gorgeous pro football player in New Orleans. As an NFL quarterback, he lives his life in the public eye. He’s a bachelor known for playing the field & he never gives a woman more than a one night stand. His career is his top priority & very demanding. He doesn’t have time for relationships.

Chester Copper aka Chess is a design major who has been working as a photographer. She’s been hired to shoot an annual charity calendar for the local NFL team. She usually keeps her cool & is totally professional, but she’s having trouble around Finn Mannus. Finn is an extremely hot, almost pretty football player. He’s cover model beautiful & is an absolute perfect specimen. She usually isn’t affected this way, but he has her flustered. Then he opens his mouth & acts like an entitled, arrogant jerk.

Finn’s team’s marketing director has asked him & his guys to pose for a calendar for charity. They soon learn it’s to be shot in the nude. Finn is pissed & extremely uncomfortable. Something about the photographer is getting under his skin & making him feel vulnerable and exposed. She’s feisty, and not his usual type, but for some reason, he can’t explain everything about her just does it for him. He’s so turned on around her & having a hard time pretending she doesn’t effect him.

This unlikely pair become more comfortable together & begin running into one another all over town. Soon a friendship forms & they really enjoy each other’s company. Their chemistry is undeniable, but Finn isn’t the settling down kind, and Chess is looking for something more long term than a hook-up. Even though they have this intense attraction, they decide to just be friends. Finn feels this need to be close to her and wants to know her better. Suddenly Chess finds herself homeless & Finn becomes her roommate. Friends turn to lovers, and they both want more. Finn is crazy about her, & soon wants to be hers in every way.

-“I want to know you, Chess Copper. I don’t know why. I just do.”

-I want Chess. I’ve wanted her since the beginning.

-“Oh, fuck, Chester Copper, I’m so gone on you. There’s no coming back from it.

Before he realizes what’s hit him, Chess has become everything to Finn. She’s become essential to his happiness & a permanent fixture in his life. He can’t imagine not being with her. Chess is falling hard for Finn & it scares her to death. They can’t keep their hands off each other & are insatiable. Every time he touches her he takes her breath away with his beautiful heart and the way he looks at her.

This was such a fabulous book! I’ve read this whole series & loved them all, but Manny is my #1. This man totally does it for me with his delicious body & the way he loves. Get ready to fall in love with Finn. :))

-“I don’t think you realize how irresistible you are, Finnegan.”

-Nothing compares to kissing Finn Mannus. It is glorious, delicious. Perfect.

-Finn was made to be worshiped. And he is mine.

 

 

*****Patty’s Review*****

*****FIVE ++++++++ ELVIS & CHESTER COPPERPOT LOVING STARS*****
{ARC Generously Provided by Author}

I did not know what true joy was until Finn. Every emotion I’m capable of having amps up with him. I feel. I live. I breathe. The world is more real when he is there.

 

 

FABULOUS!!!

I say this every time I read a book by Kristen Callihan – she is one of my most favorite authors out there right now. Her GAME ON and VIP series are truly phenomenal! She creates the most charismatic and swoony Heroes that make me wish so darn hard that I could just live out the rest of my life within the pages of her books. This series is one of the best in the sports romance genre, and that is no exaggeration. Up until now, Gray Grayson has been my most beloved hero in this series but now he’s going to have to share that #1 ranking with Finn Mannus.

It is almost impossible not to fall completely in love with Finn Mannus, NFL Quarterback of the New Orleans Saints. Even the way he is first introduced in the book is one of the most memorable scenes ever. Chess Copper is a photographer whose latest assignment is to photograph the pro football players of New Orleans for a calendar to raise money for charity. They will all be posing in the NUDE! Chess and Finn start off on the wrong foot at first but during their photo shoot, Chess sees a vulnerability to Finn that has her thinking that she just may have judged him unfairly. There also is no denying the sexual tension that quickly builds between them. At first glance, they both seem like polar opposites. Finn is the all-American, gorgeous football player and Chess appears to be goth with her outward appearance and snarky attitude.

At first, this seemed like an “opposites attract” romance but when Chess and Finn strike up a friendship and the bond that they share becomes pretty intense, it is clear that they have quite a bit in common. There is no denying that they’re perfect for each other. Finn has been living the bachelor life and has had countless hook-ups. No one has ever touched his heart until Chess. Chess also has never been in a serious relationship with a man. Guys usually don’t make it past the first date with her.

The two agree to keep things platonic between them because Chess is not looking to be one of Finn’s many conquests and deep down Finn doesn’t know if he has it in him to commit fully to anyone. There are moments when we get to see that Finn isn’t entirely happy living the single life and that he envies some of his married teammates who don’t have to go home to an empty house. Finn seems to be missing something in his life and Chess quickly and easily fills that void, and he is doing the same for her. When an electrical fire destroys Chess’ loft, leaving her homeless, Finn quickly comes to her rescue and moves her in with him. Their lives only become deeper entwined and the lines between friendship and something more are beyond blurred. But the fear of the unknown have a crippling effect on both Finn and Chess, and it just may be what ends up tearing these two apart.

I don’t think there is anyone out there who hasn’t read any of the Game On books yet and those of you who have been fans of this series are going to 100% fall in love with this one!! I predict that there will be a lot of cat fights over who Finn Mannus belongs to.

Easton Wylder is baseball royalty. The game is his life. His passion. His everything.

So, when an injury threatens to end Easton’s season early, the team calls in renowned physical therapist, Doc Dalton, to oversee his recovery. Except it’s not Doc who greets Easton for his first session, but rather, his daughter, Scout.

Easton Wylder is known as a god on the field, and one of the best catchers of all time. He is a Major League Baseball player for the Austin Aces and is practically baseball royalty. All he’s ever known is baseball. He grew up the son of a baseball legend, & has always felt as his father’s protege he had to live up to the Wylder name. He never wanted to do anything to disgrace his dad’s legacy, so when he gets an injury that threatens to end his career he is feeling the pressure to be back on top.

Scout Dalton is the daughter of the infamous Doc Dalton. The renowned physical therapist is called in by the Ace’s to treat their star player Easton Wylder. Doc sends his daughter Scout to work with Easton & oversee his recovery. He’s counting on his daughter to get Easton back on the field and secure a long-term contract with the Ace’s team.

Easton is on a deadline to rehab his shoulder, and return in top shape, so when he walks in to see a gorgeous feisty woman instead of Doc, he isn’t pleased. He doesn’t care she’s Doc’s daughter. He doesn’t have any faith in her abilities as a physical therapist & questions her qualifications. They instantly get off to a rocky start & clash at every turn. Scout is desperate to make her father proud and solidify her reputation as a woman in a male-dominated world. She’s now out to prove herself to this arrogant, conceited, hot jerk.

Scout quickly shows Easton she knows what she’s doing. As they work so closely together the sexual tension becomes unbearable. They have an undeniable attraction that continues to spark as they work hands-on. The more Scout touches his irresistible body, the more she wants him. She hates how affected she is by him. Easton has never crossed that fine line between professional & personal, but he finds himself enjoying Scouts company and wanting to get to know her better.

Easton finally begins to take Scout seriously & sees she has what it takes to get him back on the field. They soon can’t resist each other anymore & things turn intimate. Real feelings grow between them & they both want to break all the rules & take a chance and be together. Suddenly winning the contract isn’t as important as being with Easton. Easton wants to be back on the field but wants Scout to be a part of his life. Can they find a way to be together & still keep the careers they love?

I loved everything about this book! K. Bromberg brings us a sexy, baseball player that I couldn’t get enough of. Easton Wylder is delicious & talented on and off the field. I can’t wait for the next book in this series!

-“The man plays with more heart than anyone I’ve seen in a long time.”

-He’s watching me, wanting me, and everything about him, from his expression to his eyes to his body, is breathtaking.

-I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything sexier than Easton Wylder come undone. I can’t take my eyes off him. I can’t stop thinking how I did that to him.

And when he lowers his chin and meets my eyes, everything I was fighting against the past few months dissipates. I surrender. Heart. Body. Mind. Fear.

 

K. Bromberg’s new series is sure to be a hit! She has created another cocky and sexy as hell Hero that readers are going to fall head over heels in love with. The chemistry between the main characters is beyond H-O-T, and there’s just enough angst thrown in to make this a fun and addictive read!

Scout Dalton is a physical therapist for some of the most famous Major League Baseball players. Her current assignment is to help Easton Wylder, catcher of the Austin Aces, rehab his injured shoulder. It seems that during a time when he was under a lot of pressure he ended up signing a contract that guaranteed that after a certain number of months, he would be fully rehabilitated and playing for the Aces. If he fails to meet that deadline, he will be traded. Scout is hoping that she is successful with Easton’s rehab because it could mean a permanent contract for her father’s business with the Austin Aces. Her dad is one of the most well-renowned PTs in the industry and her love for him knows no bounds. It would kill her to let him down.

 

Scout and Easton get off to a rocky start when Easton assumes that she is a stripper and that her showing up in the Aces training room is some sort of a prank initiated by his teammates. Soon enough the attraction that is between them is too strong for either of them to deny and things get pretty hot and heavy quickly. Where Easton is confident in what could be building between them, Scout is almost the polar opposite. She’s skittish, which stems from her fear of abandonment. Almost everyone who has mattered more than anything to her has ultimately gone and left her behind. Scout also knows that becoming romantically involved with Easton would be considered unprofessional and could possibly cause her the Austin Aces contract.

Throughout the story, there is a bit of a cat and mouse chase between Easton and Scout. There is plenty of steam to keep pulses racing and the ever present fear of these two getting caught always had me on pins and needles.

The story ends on a cliffhanger and leaves readers with many questions! Luckily the conclusion will be out in July!! Not too long of a wait!

REVIEW – THE HOUSE MATE (Roommates #3) by Kendall Ryan

1 Comment

SYNOPSIS

What’s sexier than a bad boy? A bad ass man who’s got his shit together.

Max Alexander is nearing thirty-five. He’s built a successful company, and he’s conquered the professional world, but he’s never been lucky in love. Focusing so much time on his business and raising his daughter, adulting has come at the expense of his personal life.

His social skills are shit, his patience is shot, and at times, his temper runs hot.

The last thing he has time for is the recently single, too gorgeous for her own good young woman he hires to take care of his little girl. She’s a distraction he doesn’t need, and besides, there’s no way she’d be interested. But you know what they say about assumptions?

This is book 3 in the Roommates series, but each can be read as a complete standalone, as they feature new couples.

My whole life, I’d never known I could love another person this completely. Suddenly, in a matter of less than two months, I’d found two people who had become integral to my happiness…vital to making my world right.

Those of you who love romances with a single father should really enjoy this latest installment of THE ROOMMATES series by Kendall Ryan. So far I have to admit I’ve truly enjoyed each book in this series. You know how sometimes a series of standalones comes out and some of the books are “hits” while the others are “misses”? Well, I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how much I’ve enjoyed reading every story so far.

Max Alexander is an ex-army ranger and currently owns a very successful construction company. Max is thirty-five and enjoys his bachelor life. He has no intention of complicating things by getting involved in a serious relationship, but sometimes life throws you an unexpected curveball. When Max’s ex-girlfriend shows up on his doorstep, after having not seen her for about a year, she brings with her an unexpected gift – a cute little one-year-old daughter, named Dylan. He’s completely horrified when she dumps Dylan on Max and proclaims that she just can’t do it anymore. Somehow, the little girl tugs at his heartstrings immediately and Max is taking his new role as a father very seriously.

He decides to hire a live-in nanny and when the two first meet, there is no denying the instant attraction they both feel. Addison Lane is a young woman who is in need of a change in her life. Having just gotten out of a serious relationship in which she put her career on hold to work at her boyfriend’s café, Addison is not only looking for a new job, but also a place to live. When she stumbles across Max’s ad for a live-in nanny, she feels like it was just meant to be. She’s definitely knocked for a loop when she meets the handsome and single father who is to possibly be her new employer. When she gets the job both Addison and Max internally promise themselves that they will keep things strictly professional between them. Somehow that proves to be an almost impossible promise to keep.

LIVE – REVELRY by Kandi Steiner

SBPRBanner-Revelry-RB.jpg

Revelry by Kandi Steiner
Cover Reveal Date: April 3rd
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Revelry Cover_FINAL

Revelry, an all-new standalone from Kandi Steiner is now LIVE!!!

From the bestselling author of Weightless and A Love Letter to Whiskey

Wren Ballard is trying to find herself.

She never expected to be divorced at twenty-seven, but now that the court date has passed, it’s official. The paperwork is final. Her feelings on it aren’t.

Spending the summer in a small mountain town outside Seattle is exactly what she needs. The peaceful scenery is a given, the cat with the croaky meow is a surprise, but the real kicker? A broody neighbor with nice arms, a strange reputation, and absolutely no interest in her.

Anderson Black is perfectly fine being lost.

He doesn’t care about the town’s new resident — he’s too busy fighting his own demons. But when he’s brought face to face with Wren, he can see her still-fresh wounds from a mile away. What he doesn’t see coming is his need to know who put them there — or his desperation to mend them.

Sometimes getting lost is the way to find yourself. Sometimes healing only adds a new scar. And sometimes the last place you expected to be is exactly where you find home.

Excerpt:

I had just grabbed my oversized hat and slipped my sunglasses on when I spotted Anderson walking up the drive with a large trash bag slung over his shoulder. He wore a simple, black V-neck and distressed jeans, an outfit way too dark and hot for the heat. A light sheen of sweat gathered on his neck as he made his way toward my cabin, his eyes hidden behind all-black sunglasses.

“Change your mind?” I asked, not even fighting the grin on my face as I walked outside and leaned against the banister.

Anderson squinted up at me, his boots heavy as they hit each stair. “About?”

“Tubing?” I asked. That was why he was here, right?

“Oh.” He shook his head as he hit the top stair, shrugging the bag off his shoulders to hold it by the neck in one fist. “No, I have somewhere to be…” His voice trailed off, and even through the tinted shades of his glasses I felt his eyes on my chest. I’d strapped on my favorite boho print bathing suit and paired it with a dainty gold chain that wrapped around my neck once before dipping between my chest and crossing over my ribs.

He sniffed, holding the bag out toward me. “I just came to drop these off. My clothes. Well, the ones that could probably use a little TLC.”

My eyes lit up and I reached for the bag, but Anderson snatched it back, brows shooting up into his forehead.

“No frills, Wren.”

I threw my hands up in surrender. “I promise.”

He smirked, just slightly, and handed the bag over, tucking his hands in his front pockets.

“Are you sure you don’t want to come?” I asked, peering into the bag at my project before setting it just inside the cabin and locking the door behind me.

“I can’t,” he said, lips pressed together. He was tense, the muscles on his forearms tight as he glanced around at pretty much everything but me.

I opened my mouth to ask why but was cut off by the sound of a truck flying into my drive, tires sliding against the gravel.

Tucker was in the driver’s seat with Davie in the passenger. Sarah and Yvette sat in the back, laughing with their hands up as the truck skidded to a stop. They were both sprawled out on a pile of tubes, wearing bathing suit tops and tiny shorts.

All of their faces froze when they saw Anderson.

“Hey, you ready, Wren?” Tucker asked warily, his eyes moving from where Anderson stood in front of me, to me, and back again.

“Yeah, one sec!” I called back.

I turned to Anderson, but his eyes were hard on Tucker, jaw ticking under his skin. When he faced me once more, an anchor fell from my throat into the pit of my stomach, immobilizing me completely. Because even though I ‘d tried to convince myself I was wrong, I recognized the look in his eyes.

Possession.

And when his nose flared and he took one big step toward me, our chests brushing, his hand reaching out to rest almost imperceptibly on my hip, the anchor in my stomach exploded into flames, burning a desire so fierce I inhaled a toxic breath and didn’t let it go.

“Be careful, okay?” His eyes locked on mine just before he leaned in and swiftly kissed my cheek.

He turned on his heel and jogged down the stairs and past the truck. Sarah called his name, but he didn’t acknowledge her, just kept his gaze forward until he’d disappeared from view.

And then everyone looked at me.
