COVER REVEAL: ANY DAY NOW (SWAT Generation 2.0 #8) by Lani Lynn Vale

 

ANY DAY NOW

Series: SWAT Generation 2.0 #8

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: August 11th, 2020

Synopsis
 

Amelia loves her good friend, Avery. So much so that she agrees to do the stupidest thing ever.

A stranger photoshoot.

You know the type. The photographer takes photos of two individuals. Two individuals that, until that day, have never met in their life.

The moment she shows up at the photoshoot, she knows that she made a terrible decision.

Why? Because the total stranger about to be in an intimate photoshoot with her is the hottest thing that’s ever walked the streets of Kilgore, Texas. If not the entire US of A.

***

Adam wasn’t sure why the hell he agreed to something so stupid.

Call it temporary lapse of sanity.

When the photographer who shot his photo for the Kilgore Police Department’s benefit calendar asked him for a favor, he couldn’t say no. Not without looking like a jerk seeing as it was benefitting the Fallen Officer Foundation that he played a rather large part in.

Whatever it was that made him agree, he quickly realizes that it’s not worth it. Not when he walks into the studio and sees the massive bed with blood-red sheets dominating the middle of the room.

So uncomfortable he is at the sight, he’s about to head straight out the door and not look back when she walks in.

Amelia steals his breath away with just one glance, and all of a sudden, getting this stranger into his arms with his mouth on hers sounds like the best idea ever.

JOIN THE CLUB

Series: SWAT Generation 2.0 #7

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: July 14th, 2020

Synopsis
 

There are a few lessons one has to learn for themselves. Then there are the lessons that most people don’t have to learn because it’s just not done.

For instance, most people know instinctively that they shouldn’t crave the mother of their brother’s child.

Bourne Pena isn’t most men.

Bourne does everything he can to fight the attraction he feels for Delanie, but in the end, his refusal to go there almost ends up costing him his life.

***

Delanie Davidsdottir just wanted to forget. One night, she wanted to feel like a normal human being.

That one night changes her life and gives her a daughter that becomes her heart and soul. From that point forward, she does her level best to keep her head on straight and not make any more mistakes.

And falling for her child’s father’s twin brother—say that three times fast— would be a mistake. Not only is he Trouble with a capital T, he’s also a SWAT officer that puts his life on the line every single day.

She can’t take another loss like the one she suffered once before.

Then again, Delanie never encountered a man like Bourne Pena before, either.

Synopsis

 

After being held up at gunpoint, Ashley Colton realizes that life in the big city isn’t for her. She decides to take the biggest risk of her life and move to Charlotte’s Cove, the small seaside sanctuary where she’s vacationed every summer since childhood.

Everything falls perfectly into place until her first day of work, where she meets her new boss Tyler Jameson, the chief of police. The chemistry between Ashley and Tyler is instant and powerful, but for reasons of their own, both are cautious about jumping in.

When a woman from Tyler’s past surfaces, Ashley retreats, making Tyler realize that if he’s going to show Ashley she’s the only one who has his attention, then he needs to stop being hesitant and put everything on the line.

Is the badge powerful enough to win the beauty who holds his heart?

 

 

Excerpt

 

He lets out a hiss of breath, and I tense up. Crap. He’s not going to listen to me.

 “Never mind. Let’s forget—”

 “Stop doing that. I don’t want you to shut me out or avoid me or treat me like someone you don’t want to know,” he says, his voice rough. 

My head comes up in surprise, and my eyes fly to meet his. When they do, I see he’s staring at me imploringly. The message he seems to be sending, quite intently, is don’t run away. 

“I don’t want to piss you off,” I blurt.

 “Babe. Please. Stop hiding. It’s fucking killing me.” 

His words—specifically the use of the word babe—cause my pulse rate to quicken. He looks frustrated as hell, which somehow makes him even hotter. God, my hormones around this man are all over the place. 

“Ashley,” he rumbles, his voice low. “Talk.”

 I close my eyes for a few seconds to gather my thoughts—and to cut off my line of sight to him so I don’t combust. I need my wits about me for this.

 

5 ‘ To me, Charlotte’s Cove is Perfect’ Stars 

BEAUTY AND THE BADGE hit just all the right spots! Tyler and Ashley’s love story is small town romance heaven! A super sweet heroine, a dirty talking Alpha and the most endearing secondary characters and beautiful setting, with just the perfect hint of suspense. This book really gave me all warm feelings, and that ending… Perfection! 

After a series of events, Ashley decides to start over and move from California to the place of her happiest memories, her summer vacations while growing up, she always felt a deep connection with Charlotte’s Cove, and now it’s her change to start over. To find her happiness. She just had no idea that right there, in the small island, her HEA – in the form of a smoking HOT chief of police- was about to start…

My grandfather used to joke that it was like I was called to the island, and I’d have to agree. There’s magic here.

Immediately after their first meeting, where they feel that instant connection, and the sparks, that I so adore, fly, it was amazing to witness their relationship developing, even with some crazy bumps on the way, lol. Tyler was the definition of Alpha with a capital A!  Lordy, was that man swoony. Yes, he made some errors that come to bite him in the @ss, but what man doesn’t?! His absolute focus on Ashley since that first moment, his work on charming her, but still never truly letting her go, was as delicious as that dirty talking of his. This man is HAWT in every level, so his love and devotion just raised that hotness to a whole new degree! 

Ashley, even considering her insecurities – that just made her more real for me! – was one of the sweetest and most endearing of heroines. Her strength, her motivation, were inspiring, and added to her unawareness of her beauty, just made her even more the perfect pairing for this Alphaness that is Tyler!

Forget about spider senses—I’ve got Tyler senses.

Some kisses are slow. Some are desperate. Some are sensual. Some are a promise. This kiss is all of the above and then some.

Ms. Fox truly has in Beauty and The Badge every single element of a winning formula: an amazing heroine, the best of Alphas, beautiful setting, plenty of hilarious moments, scorching hot sex scenes – not to talk about of the insane chemistry going on! – and just a hint of suspense. In Tyler and Ashley’s story we really have it ALL, and so beautifully crafted that there is no chance of not  falling for these characters, and this small town.

After Beauty and the Badge, the incredible soulmate love story and all those oh so enticing secondary characters – aka Tyler’s crew – plus that memorable and charming setting, Ella Fox managed to hook me so completely that now DYING for the second book! Can’t wait to see whom are going to be the victims of the ‘matchmaking club’!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

“I love you too,” I answer, my voice rock steady.
That earns me a smile and a quick kiss. “That’s the best damn thing I’ve heard all day,” he says. “You’re stuck with me now.”
 I smile dreamily. “I wouldn’t want it any other way,”

Synopsis

 

Ryan Willis has spent years in the protection business, a job that requires constant vigilance and quick thinking. His only chance to truly relax is at his secluded cabin in a small town where there are never any surprises. So when Ryan returns after an assignment and encounters a beautiful stranger, he isn’t only surprised, he’s also instantly intrigued.

Hannah Bright is a breath of fresh air, and Ryan is soon completely consumed, unable to stop from falling for her. As the two grow closer, his instinct tells him something is amiss. Yet nothing could prepare him for what he discovers when he starts digging into her past.

Hannah spends her days painting, running her arts and crafts store…and hiding too many secrets. It’s why she won’t let the ruggedly handsome bodyguard get too close. But their chemistry is undeniable, and Hannah quickly finds herself caught up in a whirlwind romance with Ryan. He is peace personified, a balm to her battered soul. Yet the gorgeous, captivating man who has swept Hannah off her feet doesn’t even know who she really is. And the moment he finds out, both their lives are at risk.

5 Million ‘It Surpasses Bliss’ Stars

O…M…G! Talk about literary nirvana! I’m sorry but I’ve got to be cliche and say that this book indeed left me breathless for all the BEST reasons!
Unforgettable, mind blowing, heart and soul gripping, Leave Me Breathless has all the elements of an EPIC LOVE story and beyond!
Only Jodi Ellen Malpas could take a small town romance give it a twist, and raise it to the skies with her very own unique brand of sophisticated über sexiness and the most delicious of JEM Alphas! PHE…NOM…E…NAL!!!!! 

Awww, I honestly could not be more in love with this book and its incredibly rich and characters. Going by the setting – LOVED the adorable small town of Hampton – and the premise alone I was hooked from the get go, but every single time a new character was revealed, a new layer of Hannah’s unveiled or their chemistry and magnetism punched us right along with them I was soaking up every single word. Witnessing and FEELING their passion blossom into the most beautiful of love stories was just…wow…

Weird shit is happening in my veins, my heart, my head.

“I’m not who you think I am.” My mind’s scrambled, words coming that I don’t mean to say.
“I don’t care who you are.”
“Then kiss me.”

“There aren’t many things in life I’m certain of. I’m certain I love my daughter with everything I have. I’m certain I’ll live my life, and I’m certain I’ll eventually die. And after I met you, Hannah, I was certain you’d turn my world upside down when I kissed you.”

Hannah and Ryan are the definition of #OTP! The perfection of their instant recognition, his swoon worthy words and actions, her sweetness and vulnerability coupled with an incredible strength and their declarations, their confessions… Each time Ryan declared her, almost from the very beginning, ‘his game changer’, ‘his heaven’, as ‘turn his world upside down’ and Hannah calling him ‘her cure’, ‘her peace’ even while maintaining she didn’t need a savior, was heart warming and soul emphatizing to the max. It is impossible not to fall for this PERFECTLY imperfect characters!   

“you’ve woken up my heart”

I have her. And it’s a revelation to me, but I’m silently wondering how I can keep her. I don’t like the pang of pain that stabs at my heart. Because once again, something deep and unshakable is telling me she isn’t available.

It’s happiness. It’s here, it’s now. It’s Ryan.

No words could do it justice, believe me when I say that only reading it and experiencing it first hand is possible to feel the full force of their insta connection – and we all know how much I’m a sucker for that, lol – almost like instant recognition, but still so very realistic and relatable. All this intensity translate truly in an EPIC love story, and how could it not, we have have a ICONIC ‘romance in the raging storm’ scene *daydreams about those soaking wet declarations and heart pounding moment*! Yep, Ms. Malpas gave us everything we could have hoped for in this love story. Everything! 

Every tiny piece of my lost soul is found.

This never ends, Hannah,”

“I just want to love you, Hannah,” I murmur. “And more than that, I want you to give me permission to.”
“And even more than that,” I say quietly. “I want you to accept it.”

There is so much I want to say – ok, ok, rave is a more appropriate word, lol – but mainly how magical and enrapturingly addictive Ryan – aka the swooniest of the Alphas! – and   Hannah are from their very introduction. Not only were they winners of my heart from the start, but I have to stand out how ingenious and overall extraordinary Ryan’s daughter, Alex, was! This ten year old was Amazing!!! So witty, but still so sweet and caring, she was another gem of the story on her own (actually I’m secretly hoping we get her very own book in the distant future. Yep, she was that memorable!). But not only Alex stood out as secondary character, all this small town and its oh so charming and endearing personas completely stole my heart. So much so that I wanted to see them more and more of them, each single glimpse, a delight for my spirit.

Yes, Jodi Ellen Malpas truly gave us the best of the small town romance, with her very unique and addictive twist. Ryan and Hannah’s love story was as original as it was enrapturing, transporting us throughout tense and emotional moments, but also the most hilarious of snippets; action filled, but plentiful sweet and passionate sequences; and let’s not forget all the in between ÜBER STEAMY trademark JEM  sexy scenes, because they need a stand out all on their own, and Ryan… Oh boy, was this man steamy in every single way… *fanning myself*

There are kisses. And there are kisses. I’ve had many of the latter with Hannah, the type of kiss that makes you forget everything except the feel of that person’s mouth on yours. Kisses that make all other kisses seem inconsequential. Kisses that make you ache. That rule you. That breathe clarity and purpose into you.
But this kiss has carried me past even that. This kiss has me signing over my life to this woman.

His kisses reveal his weakness. His kisses tell of his strength. His kisses speak of his love. And I am forever consumed in every element of them.

Leave Me Breathless, is undoubtedly not just one of top reads this year, but one of my ALL TIME favs! I will never forget Hannah and Ryan, and for that reason I once again bow down to Ms. Malpas masterful writing, I don’t know how she manages it, but every single book she unleashes into the world, sears itself into the very core of my heart and souls. No exaggeration here, JEM’s words are THAT impactful! And for that very reason, I’m already counting down the hours until we get more of her enchanted universe, maybe even more of Hannah, Ryan and Alex?! Here’s to hoping! *she begs with puppy dog eyes*<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

“There won’t be a day that passes without me telling you I love you.” I drag my thumb across her bottom lip. “There won’t be a night that passes without you feeling how much I love you.”

“You’re all mine.” He stalks after me and tackles me down to the bed. “And I, Hannah Bright, am all yours.”

Synopsis

“Give me a memory, Noah.”

That’s what she said … the woman who rendered me stupid in the shadows at a wedding reception. I did everything I could to figure her out. She wore more veils of armor than I’ve seen in a lifetime. On the outside, she was strong and self-assured. But within those beautiful, guarded blues? She was laced with vulnerability and grief.

We had one night. The best night. She got the memory she wanted, but in the process, I was left branded.

Then she thought she could strut out my front door and my life, right after announcing she was my boss’s baby sister.

I had no choice but to follow. Not only did I go after her, I chased her halfway around the world. Because when it comes to her, one memory isn’t enough. It doesn’t matter that there couldn’t be a more opposite pair than us.

Gracie Cain is a healer. I’m Noah Jarvis, a cold-hearted killer.

But when my job came back to bite me in the ass, I wasn’t the only one caught in the crossfire. It bought us memories no one was counting on.

That’s when all the veils were ripped off.

5 Million ‘ALL The Memories’ Stars

SUPERB in EVERY possible way!!! I have a new BA best book boyfriend and his name is Noah! Yep, that’s right, I’m staking SET IN STONE claim to this man, the most swoon worthy ALPHA of them all: HE. IS. MINE!

Veils is so masterfully crafted all the emotions, all the deep feelings and intricate love story will forever be branded in my heart! Truly my new Brynne Asher FAV!!! 

One Night. One memory. Who would know it would turn into forever?! This story hit every single one of my romance loving heart’s spot. Ms. Brynne created my perfect ‘best friend’s little sister’ / ‘opposites attract’ love story.

 I put my lips to her parted ones and there’s no easing in to anything.  We’ve got one night and this woman powers my insides from zero to sixty in an instant.

“I want all the memories with you, Noah Jarvis.  Soul-wrenching and life-changing memories.  I’m desperate for them.”

Sweet baby Jesus, this book starts FULL ON! These two are all about the insta lust upon the first glance, and it was explosively HOT!!! *still fanning myself* Gracie and Jarvis were two strangers crossing paths in Asa’s wedding – if you haven’t read the read the rest of the Killers, you have too! – an insanely hot magnetism pulling them together, and there was no way to resist. Gracie wanted one night to remember, and well, she sure had one. One that let to a lifetime of beautiful and soul deep memories… 

Strong, but not.  

Vulnerable, but not.  

Definitely determined.  But she gives in to me.

“Go chase your dreams, baby.  Every single one of them. You deserve it.”

Chase hard, baby.

Such PERFECT realistically flawed characters, these two! Gracie one of the best heroines I’ve had the pleasure of reading, so pained, but so strong, so tortured but sassy, I loved everything about her, specially her strength and will to overcome her fears and fight for a independent future, her own place in the world.

Jarvis, or should I say, Noah, aka MY MAN, was EVERYTHING!! The definition of ALPHA, from the possessive, protective and swooniness to the knowing what he wanted from the very first moment and fighting for it, RELENTLESSLY, until he unveiled all of  Gracie’s insecurities and doubts, and annihilated all the walls she permanently had surrounding her heart, like the true killer that he is. Awwwww, Noah… *heart eyes*

 “Wow.  I’ve got you almost naked and you Jarvised me?  I need to up my game.”

She cranes her neck around to look up at me.  It’s intimate and one that lovers share. She smiles like she’s never been happier and I think my fucking chest might do something that only happens on the Hallmark channel or chick flicks.  

I’m not proud of it, but it is what it is.

The banter was spot on, and we all know how much I adore a good and witty back and forth. From that very first meet the game was ON, and I loved every delicious second – or should I say word – of it.

Veils truly is the full emotional range romance package. Scorchingly sexy, witty funny, but also heart wrenchingly deep and complex, Gracie and Noah’s story ran us through all the range of possible feelings. 

Desires and cravings turned into basic and uncomplicated essentials for survival—water and oxygen … Noah and Gracie.

“It’s time to yank off that veil because I want all of you.”

Ms. Asher proved once again the talented and creative story teller that she is, always giving us new and oh so fresh love stories, that we can’t avoid but cherish forever. Veils is unmoving proof of it, Gracie and Noah’s story is EPIC love story material all the way. Not only one of my top reads of the years, Veils went straight to my ALL TIME FAV list, I won’t soon forget these two’s romance, and its world wide journey to their HEA! EPIC LOVE!!! And yes, like the Killers – ok, all things BA – addict that I am and after that teaser by the end, I’m already dying for the next killer to fall, or to see how he fell, should I say, LOL! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

“The rest of you can have Jarvis.  Noah is all mine.”

 “Yes.  Mine. You can be a badass for everyone else, but this,” I press my hand over his heart, “is mine.”

“Then it’s official.”

“What?” I ask.  “That you’re crazy?”

He shakes his head.  “That I love you and I’m the luckiest man alive.”

When a woman from Tyler’s past surfaces, Ashley retreats, making Tyler realize that if he’s going to show Ashley she’s the only one who has his attention, then he needs to stop being hesitant and put everything on the line.

Is the badge powerful enough to win the beauty who holds his heart?

 

 

Excerpt

 

“Are you Ashley?” 

Startled, I turn toward the speaker. Holy. Cow. This guy is gorgeous with a capital G. He’s at least six feet tall, so I tilt my head back to get a better look. His brown hair is on the lighter side of the spectrum and it’s styled in a way that says he’s not about products. That’s refreshing on the heels of L.A. men, many of whom spend more time on their appearance than most women. His eyes are a soft brown with a bit of hazel, and his lashes are to die for. It’s not fair. No man should have lashes so perfect.

 His jawline is what one would call chiseled, but I’ll just cut to the chase and call it hot. He’s clean shaven, and his lips are stupidly kissable. Looking down at his body, I lick my lips. His arms are big and muscular, and the khaki cargo pants he has on do nothing to hide he’s got drool-worthy thighs. I can think of something else he’s got that has to be drool worthy. I bet it’s—

Oh. Crap.

Wait a minute.

Khaki pants. 

Black shirt. 

My eyes dart to the left breast of the black polo shirt. Sure enough, the CCPD logo is on it. And beneath the logo, there’s a word that pulls me up short.

Chief.

Oh wow. Of course the hottest guy I’ve ever seen on the island—or anywhere else, for that matter—just has to be my boss. 

I need to stop looking at him like he’s filet mignon and I’m on a no-meat diet. 

“Yes, I’m Ashley,” I confirm. I hope my voice doesn’t sound all please kiss me like the heroes in the movies would kind of breathless, but that might be wishful thinking. I definitely don’t sound normal. Anxious to take the attention away from myself, I turn it on him. “You must be Chief Jameson.”

He clears his throat. “Guilty. Call me Tyler, though. I’m not big on formality.”

His voice is as sexy as the rest of him. Husky and rich with that perfect amount of hot on the back end. If male phone sex operators were in high demand, Tyler Jameson could have a whole new career. 

Crap. I can’t think about my boss and phone sex—or any kind of sex—at the same time. Time to get it together if I don’t want my first day to be my last.
