5 ‘Bodyguard’ Stars for BODY HEAT by Rochelle Paige

I have now a new Rochelle Paige FAV – second only to her emotional Fortuity Duet! Sera and Rowan are now one of my all time fav couples and on my list of OTP favorites! 

I love Ms. Paige’s writing, so it should come as no surprise that I was hooked on this little story from the very first line, but I did not expect this level of emersion, I DEVOURED in a instant and swoon and sigh with love for this couple! A reversed gender version of the movie Bodyguard, Body Heat proved just how kickass a female lead can be and still have and scorching hot love story where the H is still all ALPHA, and straight to my best book boyfriend with his undying unwavering devotion to Sera and the ones he loves! Rowan was my epitome of Romance Hero! Hope I get to see even more of these two in the rest of the Body and Soul series! Sporty Novella perfection! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

3.5 ‘Second Half’ for END GOAL by Ella Fox

I adore Ella Fox’s writing, so I was thrilled to get a brand new novella with new characters from her. Well, End Goal was undoubtably a deliciously speedy read! Addison and Law have a very trouble past together, with him being her teenager crush and one night he wrecking her trust. Though this is a trouble I personally tend to stay away from, due to my dislike of unrequited, but not really love, here what ended up detracting from my enjoying was that due to the short length of the story, their interaction and reunion – in the best of context, because BABIES! – with his newly adopted children and Addison as their nanny, ended taking second place, naturally, to his new parenthood of twins, and their makeshift new family, and their past being brushed off far two easily, considering how BIG his screw up was, and with basically no groveling on his  end, as well as many answered, or unclear questions. I believe with the extended length, which I’m hoping Ms. Fox will give us, because after that abrupt ending – yes, another issue this epilogue lover had, lol – I believe and am hopeful we will get much more on these two. Ok, on these four! The story telling was as awesome as ever, the sexy time and sexual tension were OFF THE CHARTS, sadly I was just left wanting more, so I’m praying we will get that in the future, preferably asap! LOL <3 <3 <3

When I told my mom that my new year’s resolution was to self-publish a book in 2013, she pretty much told me, “About time!”

HOSTED BY:

ENCHANTING SEBASTIAN

Series: Big Sky Royals #1 (Big Sky World)

Author: Kristen Proby

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Genre: Perrywinkle Photography

Cover Designer: Hang Le

Turning thirty-five doesn’t mean much to most men. For Sebastian Wakefield, it’s the end of life as he knows it.

When your father is the King of England, thirty-five is the year that a marriage will be arranged, a suitable bride cementing a future you didn’t choose. The obvious solution for escaping the archaic laws of the throne is for Sebastian to leave the country. And where better to go than America?

Nina Wolfe has spent her career avoiding scandal. As a Hollywood publicist and minor celebrity in her own right, she knows exactly what it takes to keep the media at bay—and what will send them into a frenzy.

Prince Sebastian hiding out in Cunningham Falls, Montana is an unlikely story. Ending up in his bed, even more so. And keeping their arrangement out of the press might just be impossible. The ring on her finger is about to spark a firestorm that will change her life, and no professional spin will help Nina fit into the world of royalty.

Only love could write an enchanting new beginning—if they’ll let themselves fall.

5 ‘Royally Enchanted’ Stars

WOW! Enchanted is indeed the correct definition for all that Sebastian and Nina’s love story brought to my heart! Only Ms. Proby could give us the most captivatingly realistic Royal romance! A true fairytale come to life, Enchanting  Sebastian is Royalty Perfection! 

I adore a good Royal Romance, and when Kristen Proby announced this new spin off to one of my favorite series of hers, as Bid Sky Royal, I was impatiently waiting for this story. Specially considering the rocky introduction we had to Nina’s character in Kissing Jenna. I can honestly say Ms. Proby couldn’t have made it work more beautifully.

Arranged marriage turned true fairytale come to life, how could I not have loved every second of it?!

Is this what they mean when they talk about being kissed silly? It’s new for me.

Nina, that we know from the previous books, as sister and publicist for the actor Christian Wolfe, is now settled in Montana too and enjoying the quiet Cunningham Falls brings us, but something, a new purpose is missing.

Prince Sebastian is getting close to his thirty fifth birthday, and feeling not only the pressure that date will bring him, but the decline for an arranged marriage if he doesn’t decide to take the decision in his own hands. As the next in line to the throne of England, and no wish for it, he escapes to Montana, and literally bumps in the woman that can be the answer to all this problems, and maybe, not just that… Maybe they are just what the other needs, and never thought they’d have… 😉

Do not fall in love with this man, Nina. Love is off the table. I have to keep reminding myself of that because he’s just so good. Kind and sweet. Funny. Caring.
He freaking braided my hair!

I love a good arranged marriage, and the way that Kristen Proby intertwine these two characters, their realism, their doubts, issues, conflicts and feelings, was as always characteristic of her masterful writing. The combination of the rationality of their arrangement and the royal insider view in Enchanting Sebastian gave this tale such an incredibly down to earth feeling that is proof once again of the talent the author has to always create relatable and transports us to their universe. I never thought I read a Royal Romance where I completely emerged in their world, and not for one second it felt foreign to me. Ms. Proby managed to ‘humanize’ the royals in our eyes, almost like they were like any other of the Montana gang, specially the trio that we know to be the main characters of this spin off series. And that for me is priceless and oh so addictive!

Nina and Sebastian were so well coupled, and from the start we could see that the arrangement would easily transform into so much more, with how much chemistry and attraction was there from the start, from the very first bump into one another. There were obstacles, sure, wouldn’t have been a romance novel if not for these intriguing moments, but once again Ms. Proby weaved her magic with not only deep seated emotional charge, but her trademark, very mature conflict handling. Her characters are just so incredibly complex and real! I adore that! 

I adored Nina’s complexity and grace, but Sebastian, oh my, completely stole my heart! He was the definition of Prince Charming! His patience, his devotion, and his unwavering love, made me melt into a puddle, and worship the ground he steps on. Seriously, the man was as swoon worthy as possible! Talk about the perfect introduction to these royals!

Sweet, emotional, funny and beyond sexy, Enchanting Sebastian was the PERFECT way to start this new Big Sky Royals, not only by the introduction of the Royals in question, but also by the intertwining of the previous Big Sky characters and world with these new royalty characters and scenario. Nina and Sebastian’s fairytale love story was without a doubt the perfect blend and transition for all this new stories to come. And after all the teasers we got for not only Ellie but Callum, I can’t wait for these Royals to storm Montana! I’ already DYING after that ending, need the next book STAT! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

“If the definition of love is someone who stays, I’m here, Nina. I’m here for all of my days. I’ve fallen in love with you, and I don’t say those words blithely. It’s not something to just toss around.”

Kristen was born and raised in a small resort town in her beloved Montana. In her mid-twenties, she decided to stretch her wings and move to the Pacific Northwest, where she made her home for more than a dozen years.

During that time, Kristen wrote many romance novels and joined organizations such as RWA and other small writing groups. She spent countless hours in workshops, and more mornings than she can count up before the dawn so she could write before going to work. She submitted many manuscripts to agents and editors alike, but was always told no. In the summer of 2012, the self-publishing scene was new and thriving, and Kristen had one goal: to publish just one book. It was something she longed to cross off of her bucket list.

Not only did she publish one book, she’s since published close to thirty titles, many of which have hit the USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists. She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series.

Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana with their two pugs and two cats.

5 ‘ Sweeping Me Off My Feet’ Stars

Swooooonnnnnn….. Vaughn cemented the perfection that is this Love Under The Light series, and proves once again what a winning writing duo Ella Fox and Rochelle Paige are! Romance collaboration perfection indeed! Insta-connection turned sweet and swoon-worthy romance personification!

I couldn’t have been wanting – no, NEEDING – Vaughn more than I did after that intriguing situation we were left in Gage. Well after finishing this story, I can honestly say it surpassed all my expectations. With the conflict set beforehand, and here in Prologue, we are set on a trip to the past, and we witness their whole blossoming relationship, and let me tell you, that this is how you write a deep insta-connection turned slow burn romantic LOVE! Vaughn blew me away, and really swept me off my fit with his seduction game – not that it was a game to him, lol.  This man was all ALPHA, and all the swoon-worthy qualities we want in out romance Heroes: a true ‘Best Book Boyfriend’! *sigh dreamily*

Allie was such a strong willed character, much like her bff, Morgan, and it’s a joy to read how much these women stand up for themselves, but still allow themselves to give in to love, and their men Alphaness, yet remaining true to their spirits. Love them!

This series truly is getting better and better, and with the exponential introduction of new characters, I keep wanting more and more of these secondary characters. Ms. Fox and Ms. Paige really are surpassing all my expectations for this collaboration, and this series. Sweet, dreamy, a hint of humor, a sprinkle of banter and oh so much sexiness : brilliant combo!

And now, much like it was Vaughn’s case in Gage, with that teasing of Dane and Mila’s coupling, I’m now counting down the days for the next of this deliciously enticing series! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

You’re the first thing I think of when I wake up in the morning and the last thing on my mind when I fall asleep at night. Without you, I’m a shadow of the man I’m meant to be.

 

“I’m yours, Vaughn. Yesterday. Today. Always.”

HOSTED BY:

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: September 10th, 2019

Royal St. James got her name when she was born. Not because her mother loved her royally, but because Royal was a giant pain in the ass. She’s spent her entire life fighting to live, and the last thing she needs is to deal with some pretty-boy police officer who wouldn’t know a hardship if it came up and bit him in the…you know.

Justice Rector wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was raised to work hard and always fight for what he believed in. His father was a cop, and ever since he could remember, he wanted to be one, too.

It was a complete coincidence that he ends up going undercover and meeting Royal St. James. It was just one day, a single moment in time. All routine.

Just do the buy, make the bust, and get out.

But Royal St. James, aptly named, screws everything up. Royally.

All of a sudden, he has a decision to make: blow his cover and save the girl, or save himself.

Of course, he does the most stupid thing possible.

By saving the girl who most assuredly did not want to be saved.

5 ‘I Kept Counting’ Stars

O.M.G! Could Make Me be any more beautifully crafted?! NO, it could not! Justice and Royal’s love story checked every single one of my Romance boxes! Lani Lynn Vale keeps on blowing me away with every single book of this, that is now, my all time LLV series! Outstanding! 

Ah, prepare yourself for the upcoming raving, which I’ll keep as spoiler free as possible, but my world, these two are now one of my top OTP, so I can’t gush enough about them! 

See, Royal St. James was a royal fuck-up. A royal pain in the ass. A royal nothing.

I felt sadness deep in the pit of my belly and wondered what it would feel like to never be sad. Would that ever be possible? I wasn’t sure that it would be.

Ms. Vale always creates the most realistic and relatable heroines, so it was no surprise how much I identified myself with Royal, but her depth and inward suffering, her pain, just made more perfect in my eyes. The rawness of her emotions, the insecurity of her feelings, and her passionate manner specially considering her past, made her irresistible and so darn captivating to me. And of course, to our contemporary ‘knight in shinning armor’ Justice.

I was moving through life while only half living it…and then there was you.”

“I thought that you thought I was trouble,” she whispered.
“You are.”

“I want to go to battle for you, Royal,” he said suddenly. “I want to fight these invisible ghosts.

Seriously, this man… Capital Alpha swoonfest all around! They may have had a rocky start, due to his undercover job and circumstances, but the instant attraction and connection was right there even in that first meeting. So when they gave in and embraced Fate, and his chief, lol, demands of proximity at all times, there was no way they could resist that atomic deep chemistry. And once Justice saw through her invisible barriers – which he almost immediately identified – and decided to prove to her just how real and how meant to be they were, oh my heart, he was the very definition of best book boyfriend!

I didn’t try to argue.
I didn’t want to argue.
What the hell was wrong with me?
Arguing was a fun past time to me.
Justice was obviously a Royal tamer.

“That, my boy, isn’t ‘almost.’ You’re full-blown gone for her,”

She was mine. Forever.

As per Lani Lynn Vale’s usual – and winning formula! – she gave us everything we could have wished for in this story: LOL humor, emotional depth, an taunting suspense, steam inducing sexy times, all wrapped up in a epic style LOVE STORY! Oh, and let’s not forget the awesomeness that was to see again our beloved OG LLV couple, Loki and Channing, they were perfectly integrated in his son’s story. Even more satisfying than the parents as secondary characters, I want to stand out the teasingly deliciousness that was Lock, and that hint of who he’s being paired with! I can’t wait! NEED. IT. NOW!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

“I love you.”
The three simple words wiped the laughter right off of her face.
“It’s okay,” I told her when fear replaced the amusement. “I’m not going to stop loving you because you can’t say it back.”

“I love you,” I repeated the words.
One day she’d say them back.
But for now, I’d settle for the looks.

And yes, I kept counting.
Because every ‘I love you’ that came from Royal’s mouth was special.
Every. Single. One of them.
