Synopsis

Coming this October from New York Times Bestselling Author, Kristen Proby, comes an all new paranormal romance set in the mystical city of New Orleans…

I am never alone. Not even when I am alone. 

I see the unquiet dead, the souls that wander through the French Quarter. 

They can’t move on, and I can’t stop seeing them. 

I wear malachite for protection, and I control what I let in. It’s the only way to stay sane. Everything changes the day Cassian Winslow joins my ghost walking tour and knocks my world off its axis with green eyes the color of the stone around my neck. 

An unspeakable evil is loose in New Orleans, taking young women and leaving a bloodbath in his wake. More shadows lurking for me. More unhappy dead. There might be a way to stop it.

Open myself up to Cassian. 

If I do, it could spell his death.

But if I don’t, it’s mine.

5 ‘Soul Recognition’ Stars

Ohhhh, myyyy, gooooddddd!!! Kristen Proby has the most exciting and goosebump inspiring of reads within SHADOWS! KP’s very first full on PNR – though one of my fav of hers, Easy Magic, already had plenty of supernatural going on – is a mind gripping, heart palpitating paranormal masterpiece!

This is the first of a brand new series focused on three witch sisters and this Practical Magic hardcore fan is hooked! The chill inducing take on the serial killer thriller, the suspense, the sisterhood, and the ROMANCE… We have it ALL!!!

Shadows, as the name itself suggests is very focused on the paranormal, mainly in this case, on the dead’s shadows that Brielle alone can see, her gift. Not only was the book fantastic and intricately crafted in this ‘witchy’ universe, but also the interconnection with the serial killer – specially his POV – which was so beautifully executed that more than once gave me literally the CHILLS. That’s is proof on how masterfully it’s written

“Sometimes, monsters walk among us, and there’s just nothing we can do about that.”

The love story, oh my, talk about catnip! There are very little things I adore more in my romance than a fated mated /soulmate type of love story, and Cash and Brielle’s meeting and insta feel of connection fit that to a T. Not only that, but thanks to Ms. Proby  ‘s usual and fantastic craft, even with this insta parameter, it was just so relatable and believable! I not only read, but FELT their soul deep connection, and it’s blossoming into love.

I can’t explain it. I barely know her, but I crave her company.
It was as if I recognized her the second I saw her.

“I’m drawn to you in ways I can’t explain. Like I said before, it’s a…recognition. Like, I was looking for you and didn’t even know it.”

The suspense, the intrigue, the fear and the pain were so perfectly blended with Kristen Proby’s brand of humor, partnership, love and sexiness that we just dive in into this world, and we never want to emerge back. The mystery and the occult were a joy to unveil, the sister’s relationship and hints of the future couple, enticing to say the least, but the love story… WOW… Never once did I forget I was reading a romance, when Cash and Brielle were on page, their chemistry was palpable, and their love and devotion #RelationshipGoals! Awwww, and insanely did I mention that?! 

“Once I start kissing you, I won’t want to stop there. You’re a game-changer, Brielle, and we’re a little busy right now.

This man doesn’t merely kiss and call it a day.
 No, he kisses like it’s his damn job. Like kissing me is the only thing in the world he can think about.
 As if he’s wanted to kiss me for decades.

Saying I devoured this book is an understatement, because I not only greedily consumed every word, I savored  them, and absorbed them into my heart. Shadows was all I hoped for and so much, MUCH more! I was already deeply hooked to Ms. Proby’s masterful contemporary romance, but adding to that my love for PNR, it’s a no brainer that Shadows is now one of my all time fav PNR, and I’m already counting down the days until we get the other two witch sisters, Millie and Daphne, specially after that teasing ending and this book is proof that. Need them stat!!!  <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

 

“Witches aren’t always scary,” Millie says with a wink. “And they look after their own.”

IF YOU SAY SO

Series: KPD Motorcycle Patrol #6

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: October 29th, 2019

Synopsis
 

Gabriel Luca Maldonado, III and Francesca Leandra Solomon were meant to be. They were so in love that everybody prayed for what they had.

Everything was glorious. They would get married, have children and live a perfect life. She would be a doctor in the emergency room once she finished her doctorate, and he would be a badass Navy SEAL and save people for a living. 

But then Luca is deployed across the world, and per military regulations, Frankie isn’t allowed to follow.

They’ve overcome a lot in their short relationship, and they can overcome this, too. Two years was a piece of cake. She’d finish her schooling and wait for him. And when he finally returned home, they would marry.

But two months into Luca’s deployment, the unthinkable happens, and Frankie is left alone and heartbroken, knowing that she’ll have to face the rest of life without Luca at her side.

***

Fast forward two years, and Frankie is exactly where her fiancé’s father left her, in a pit of despair that she has no hope of ever finding her way out of.

She lives life one second at a time, depressed and alone, hoping tomorrow won’t hurt like today.

She finds a job, moves, and hopes that the nightmares won’t swallow her whole.

But just as she thinks that she’s getting better, one of her nightmares walks through the doors of her ER, and that nightmare has a name.

Gabriel Luca Maldonado, III. In the flesh.

Also healthy and whole, and definitely no longer missing.

Sadly, it only takes her a half a second to realize that the man that left her isn’t the same man that returned.

The old one wanted her. The new one? Well, he’s definitely not interested anymore.

5 ‘With All My Heart’ Stars

WOW, JUST WOW! If You Say So was PERFECTION in every possible way! I couldn’t have imagined a more PERFECT way to wrap up this extraordinary series, a whole series of five stars reads, that about says it all, right?! Well, indeed as promised and anticipated these two’s love story was as EPIC as Romance can get. Epic I tell you!!! 

Sweet baby Jesus, the angst, the heart squeezing tension, the suffering and the LOVE!!!   I will in no way spoil the plot or the characters, for that I’ll keep this short, but I’m still in awe. Ms. Vale did splendidly keeping this couple as closure for the series, because I could not have asked for a better ending!

When his eyes met mine, I didn’t see the scars.
 I didn’t see the horror that he went through.
I only saw him.
Your soul recognized mine. We just had to figure out why.”

How is it possible that after dozens and dozens of devoured Lani Lynn Vale’s books she can still create such a romantic gem that completely wrecks me, but just as fast pulls me back together and brings me unmeasurable joy, faith and happiness?! She’s a romantic writing master, that’s how. These two are the perfect example of it, all the emotions, all the inner battle, all the pain, but most of all, all the LOVE, it just shone through, even – if not specially – in the small things. That is contemporary love at its best, where we can so easily relate and feel in the brilliantly created character’s shoes. OMG, I really am so enamored with the devotion, and forever kind of love in this that is the last of the KPD Motorcycle Patrol series, a success of epic proportions for me, as the WHOLE series is now on my all time favs list. The only uplifting point about the end of this series, apart from this unforgettable couple and their HEA, is that I have no doubt that we will see more of this gang, and I can’t freaking wait!!! Maybe silver fox Captain Morgan?! Maybe a certain someone that we got to ‘meet’ by the end?! Oh, the possibilities…. I want them all! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

You and me? We were meant to be. From the moment that I met you, I knew that you were my one.

You’ve loved me even when I didn’t deserve to be loved,”

BLOG TOUR + REVIEW & GI’S FAV: THE BUSINESS OF BLOOD (In the Business of Blood #1) by Kerrigan Byrne

Synopsis

 

London, 1890. Blood and death are Fiona Mahoney’s trade, and business, as they say, is booming.

Dying is the only thing people do with any regularity, and Fiona makes her indecorous living cleaning up after the corpses are carted away. Her childhood best friend, Mary, was the last known victim of Jack the Ripper. It’s been two years since Fiona scrubbed Mary’s blood from the floorboards, and London is no longer buzzing about the Ripper, but Fiona hasn’t forgotten. She hasn’t stopped searching for Jack.

When she’s called to a murder in the middle of the night, Fiona finds a victim mutilated in an eerily similar fashion to those of the Ripper, and only a few doors down from Mary’s old home. The relentless and irritatingly handsome Inspector Grayson Croft warns her away from the case. She might have listened, if she hadn’t found a clue in the blood. A clue that will lead her down a path from which there is no return.

As a killer cuts a devastating swath through London, a letter written in blood arrives at her door, and it is only then that Fiona realizes just how perilous her endeavor is. For she has drawn the attention of an obsessive evil, and is no longer the hunter, but the prey.

Fiona Mahoney is in the business of blood. But she’s not the only one.

With intriguing twists, blood-chilling discoveries, and dazzling prose, USA Today Bestselling author Kerrigan Byrne shows that a woman’s work is never done, even when is sleuthing out a serial killer.

Excerpt

 

Aidan stood behind me for a moment, motionless and silent. I could hear every word ever spoken and unspoken between us spilling onto the ground at my back. 

“I understand what the years have done to you, Fiona. I know all the reasons you do what you do.” The pity in his voice summoned a scream from deep, deep in my soul, and I swallowed three times to keep it from escaping. “I appreciate that you have to be cold sometimes. But have a care this profession of yours doesn’t make you heartless.”

Heartless.

Struck by an idea, I frantically searched until I found Frank Sawyer’s heart in the center of the basin. An unceasingly strong muscle upon which one’s entire existence depended. I counted four chambers. Four valves. I stared hard, unblinking in the wan light until Aidan’s retreating footsteps plodded away. 

I’d never found Mary Kelly’s heart. 

Every single part of her had been catalogued in all its exposed and grotesque exactitude. But not her heart. The Ripper had taken that, along with her life. 

I searched for the palpitations to prove Aidan wrong and found them, faint and fluttering, against my rib cage.  I still had a heart, even though he owned pieces of it. And yet, I’d stood over too many corpses of those I loved, each time expecting my bleeding heart to just…stop. It should, I think. When a heart was broken as many times as mine, it shouldn’t work anymore. But somehow, it still did. It kept going. 

And so long as it beat in its chamber, I’d search for the Ripper.

 

 

 

 

5 ‘Until The Ghosts Are Put To Rest’ Stars

Oooohhhhh, Kerrigan Byrne rocked my world with this twist on Jack The Ripper, because it’s SO MUCH more than I expected! Mind, heart and soul gripping, THE BUSINESS OF BLOOD is a full blown experience!

I tend to stay away from anything close to horror genre, but as soon as Ms. Byrne announced this book as a brand new Historical Mystery I wanted to jump right in. Being a huge retelling fan, I could only imagine how enrapturing TBoB would be. Well, I really had no idea just how much I would be absorbed…

Aye, well. Sometimes I worried for my soul, too. God knows I’ve committed enough sins these days to procure my place in hell.

Fiona Mahoney is everything I love in an heroine and some. Not only is she smart, independent and strong beyond belief – which is even more extraordinary considering the time and age – , but she have such a hidden fragility in her feeling and emotions, if not only in her POV, that we immediately related to her, her pain, and her thirst for justice and a bit of revenge.

Death’s business is a messy one.
And I made my living cleaning up after him. At least here in London.

Being a self employed woman at that time and age, and the nature of her business as cleaning up murder scenes is, on itself so avant guard that it’s no wonder I was hooked even before I got into Fiona’s intricate and heart felt mind and spirit. 

From the very first page I felt every single emotion she went through: from the loneliness, to the pain, the rage, the fear, the confusion, and heart and body’s reactions to all the intriguing men she interacted with – specially Inspector Croft, who I romance reader’s heart is rooting for, because even though this is not a romance, hello potential broody Hero! LOL – , I was there, going through it all right along with her. Ms. Byrne truly has a the gift to transport us in time and space with her incredible story telling!

I’d stood over too many corpses of those I love, and each time I expected my bleeding heart to just…stop. It should, I think. When it’s broken as many times as mine, it shouldn’t work anymore. But somehow it still did. It kept going.
And so long as it beat in its chamber, I’d be searching for the Ripper.

The twists and turns,the dark and gothic elements that Ms. Byrne does to perfection, it’s just impossible not to dip into this world and find yourself completely immersed in this universe and in Fiona Mahoney’s mind! And oh my, for a non romance the sexual tension just left me…*delicious shivers*

Oil and water, that was Croft and me. Two negatively charged magnets repelling each other by nature of physical law.

The Business of Blood indeed blew my mind, not only because of the shock and the surprise I passed with the unfolding of the mystery, the cleverness of the connection of the background feud with The Ripper that I have no doubt will follow all this series, but specially because it left me BEGGING for more! Kerrigan Byrne truly is a masterful storyteller! I had not even finished and I was already dreading the last page because I just knew I couldn’t be satisfied without knowing more, uncovering all the secrets and see the cementing of all relationship, so it’s safe to say I will be in pins and needles for the next book in the series, I truly CAN.NOT.WAIT!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

 

“My ghosts provide constant company. And until I put them to rest, my life and my heart have no room to spare.”

About the Author

 

Author Kerrigan ByrneKerrigan has done many things to pay the bills, from law enforcement to belly dance instructor. Now she’s finally able to have the career she’d decided upon at thirteen when she announced to her very skeptical family that she was going to “grow up to be a romance novelist.” Whether she’s writing about Celtic Druids, Victorian bad boys, or brash Irish FBI Agents, Kerrigan uses her borderline-obsessive passion for history, her extensive Celtic ancestry, and her love of Shakespeare in almost every story.

She lives in a little Victorian coast town on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State with her wonderful husband. When she’s not writing you can find her sailing, beach combing, kayaking, visiting wineries, breweries, and restaurants with friends, and hiking…okay…wandering aimlessly clenching bear spray in the mountains.

NEW SERIES COVER REVEAL: VALENTINE BOYS by Lani Lynn Vale

HERD THAT

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Contemporary/Cowboy Romance

Release Date: January 21st, 2020

Synopsis

His Wranglers fit him like a glove. A really tight, leaving nothing to the imagination, glove. Codie wants nothing more than to shove that Wrangler-covered butt straight into the mud.

Ace Valentine has a smart mouth, a devil-may-care attitude, and those wicked eyes aimed directly at her.

She doesn’t know what to do with that kind of attention. Especially not from the sweet-talking man that has no problem charming every woman that enters his orbit—everyone but her, at least.

Ace isn’t sure why Codie Spears had her panties in a twist when it comes to him, but every snub and insult she hurls his way brings him closer and closer to falling for her.

He’s not sure what it is about the town’s bad girl that draws his attention, but every encounter they have leaves him wanting her until there’s nothing else left to do but have her.

The only thing is, she’s been convinced by everyone around her that she’s not good enough. Tell a person that she’s a piece of trash enough times, and eventually she’ll start to believe it. It’s going to take a lot of smooth-talking and gentling on his part to get her to see that she’s worth it. And once he has her where he wants her? Well, she’ll make a mighty fine rancher’s wife.

CRAZY HEIFER

Series: Valentine Boys #2

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Contemporary/Cowboy Romance

Release Date: February 25th, 2020

Synopsis

I fell in love with his rope skills. I stayed because somehow he took hold of my heart and made it his.

Callum Valentine didn’t mean to eavesdrop. Then again? When a man is calling a woman fat right in front of your table, it’s kind of hard not to intervene. Especially when the town’s most beautiful creature ever is the one being called fat.

Desi just wants to be left alone. After an ugly divorce, she thinks she’s in the clear. Then her ex takes it upon himself to continue to make her life miserable, giving Desi no choice but to take it or leave.

In fact, her bags were nearly all the way packed when Callum poked his nose into the most embarrassing spectacle the town of Kilgore has ever witnessed. The moment he declares her his and off limits, everything changes—and definitely not for the better.

As if things couldn’t get worse than being called a pitiful, fat heifer in front of the hottest man she’s ever seen, Callum has to go and say that she’s his, and they have to play a game that she’s not quite sure she wants to be playing.

But before her eyes, things change. And suddenly the rules of the game aren’t clear. And they’re crossing boundaries neither one of them see coming.

CHUTE YEAH

Series: Valentine Boys #3

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Contemporary/Cowboy Romance

Release Date: March 24th, 2020

Synopsis

Candy Ray Sunshine—Yes, that is my real name, thank you very much, Mom and Dad—knew two things.

One, she was going to work her butt off and open her very own coffee shop, even if she had to die doing it.

Two, Banks Valentine was the world’s worst ex-boyfriend in the history of ex-boyfriends. Even if they were only boyfriend and girlfriend for one evening. She wouldn’t sneeze on him even if he was on fire.

***

Banks Valentine also knew two things.

One, he was an immature jerk when he was in high school, and Candy Ray Sunshine probably could open a coffee shop if she put her mind to it. But he still thinks that she should shoot a little higher, anything that gets her the heck out of Kilgore, Texas.

Two, he likes riding bulls. It’s a dangerous job, and when he gets on the back of one of those thousand-pound death machines, he can finally feel his head clear enough that he can think.

***

Candy and Banks would never get along. Not after what he said, and definitely not after what she did.

Then again, neither one of them expected that night to end the way it did, either—the night that both of them refused to talk about the next morning.

The guy that no man, woman, or child wants around their loved one.

See, a long time ago he made some bad decisions. Those bad decisions have haunted him ever since. No matter what he does, people still see him as the town’s screw up. The boy that sold his soul to the Devil.

Years later, he’s turned himself around. Made amends and ultimately turned into a generally good guy. Only, it’s hard to act like a good guy when people still treat you like the old you, and not the new you.

Enter Waylynn Jennings.

Waylynn has watched Darby Valentine from afar for a very long time.

She’s witnessed the changes in him and knows the only reason he’s so mean is to protect the man that lies within. A battered, injured soul that deserves more than what he’s received. Even his own family takes him for granted.

She’s made it her new mission in life to prove to everyone that Darby isn’t the bad guy. That he’s a kind-hearted, sweet soul that’s just looking for a place to fit in.

Only, Darby is fairly sure that Waylynn is out to kill him, not help him. How else do you explain all the fights he’s having to break up on her behalf, or all the times he has to come to her rescue when she’s managed to put her cute little butt right in the middle of something where it shouldn’t be?

There’s obviously only one solution. He has to make her his. Then everyone will know not to mess with her. Darby Valentine protects what’s his. No matter what the cost.

RELEASE BLITZ + REVIEW & GI’S FAV: SINNERS ARE WINNERS (KPD Motorcycle Patrol #5) by Lani Lynn Vale

SINNERS ARE WINNERS

Series: KPD Motorcycle Patrol #5

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: October 8th, 2019

Synopsis
 

He saw her from across a crowded ballpark and knew she was about to change his life.

Yes, he realizes just how cliché that really is, but the moment his eyes locked on her, he knew that she was the one.

At least, the one that royally screwed him over. The one responsible for his demotion and the subsequent disciplinary action taken against him before he’d even gotten out of the probationary period with Kilgore Police Department.

It all started with a kiss.

***

Saylor Rae Spada tried to mind her business. She also tried to not get involved in petty disputes.

However, from the moment she saw him sitting next to her at a professional baseball game, a game she didn’t even want to be at but was dragged to by her blind date, she couldn’t look away.

Then the kiss cam came on, featuring none other than her and the handsome stranger.

Without missing a beat, he kissed her.

Then her blind date decided to pull a knife and try to stab him.

From that point forward, she’s done nothing but cause him trouble.

Trouble that he’s starting to find increasingly adorable.

5 ‘She Was It For Me’ Stars

Sweet Baby Jesus! Just when I thought this series could’t get any better, there comes a new KPD Motorcycle Patrol Alpha and BAM! Instant Best Book Bookfriend top! Not only that, but every single couple going straight to my OTP list! Seriously, Lock and Saylor are the definition of #RelationshipGoals: soulmate level of PERFECTION! 

I’m sorry, I know I’m repeating myself within this series, but there is no way to, these couples really are everything!

It was death by pussy, but oh, what a way to go.

I’d do anything for her, even eat all the green beans.

First of all, so amazing to see the children, all grown up, of not only one of our fav couples, but TWO! Lock, son of Downy and Memphis – Bang Switch, KPD SWAT series – and Saylor, Kettle and Addie’s baby girl – Halligan to My Axe, Heroes of Dixie Warden series – couldn’t have been better paired up.

Instantly attracted to one another, their first meeting is impactful for both – to say the least, lol – and when after six month later they met again, and there is a change that they will forever be separated by distance, Lock, shows why he is now one of my ultimate book boyfriend, and does not let Saylor go without a fight! SWOON!

This girl, I thought. She was it for me.

I adored how Sinners Are Winners was set up! The insta lust/attraction turning into slow burn (even with LLV usual fast paced development which I soak up like a thirsty man in a desert) of a naturally developing love, stick a fork in me, because I’m done for! We get all the feeling we crave, and so many more emotions that we where not counting for, but welcome with open arms. His love and devotion are two of those. The strong familial is another. Not only do we get to fall in love with two amazing main characters, but we get to experience and be conquered, all over again by their families, and specially the OG LLV couple. So be prepared for the swoonfest, because with a Hero like Lock, the hits just keep on coming! The swoon hits that is, lol. 😉

“Can I see it now?” she asked into the darkness.
I blinked.
 “See what?” I asked, hoping that she wasn’t asking about what I thought she was asking about.
“Don’t play dumb, Lachlan Downy, Junior,” she ordered. “I’m talking about that ring in your shorts that is so close to your cock head that I can’t decide which one I want to look at.”

These KPD Motorcycle Patrol has me hooked like you wouldn’t believe! Lani Lynn Vale manages with these love stories, as Lock and Saylor’s is proof, to check all my romance loving addict’s heart boxes. I seriously couldn’t ask for more. All the sweetness, humor, suspense, steaminess and pure ROMANCE! Yep, it just keep knocking it out of the park. And now with one of my most anticipated LLV’s EVER coming next, I’m dying to finally get my grabby hands on Lucas’ book. I just know a sob-fest is coming and I. Can’t. Feaking. WAIT!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

“Expressing emotion has never really been something that came easy to me…not until there was you. Now, every single day that I wake up next to you, I want to tell you that you changed my life. That you made me want to live it instead of just experience it. Every single day, I wake up and I smile.”
