Synopsis

I was never supposed to see him again. Him being the man wearing the perfectly tailored suit who oozed an intoxicating mixture of wealth, rebellion, and sex appeal.

One night.
No strings.
No names.
Great sex.

Still riding the high from last night, I walk in to meet my new client, and he’s wearing that same dangerous smirk that reeled me in hours ago.

Yes, I’m consulting for Callahan Sharpe. And yes, he’s thatCallahan Sharpe.

Billionaire heir apparent who abides by no rules, bucks convention, and is determined to complete one final project to honor his late father’s legacy before walking away from the family business for good. Luckily and unluckily for me, I’ve been tasked to go to the Virgin Islands to help accomplish his goal. Callahan has no problem breaking his company’s no fraternization rule, but not me. There’s too much at stake.

What could possibly go wrong when you’re forced to work—and live—side by side with a man you can’t resist?

5  ‘What’s In It For Me’ Stars

 

EXCEPTIONAL! K. Bromberg never seizes to amaze me, Last Resort is the literal proof of that. Sutton and Callahan’s story went far and beyond all my expectations: scorching HOT first meeting, deliciously naughty banter, complex,  and intense and so beautifully flawed characters, that capture our hearts from the very first page!

I devoured this baby not only once, but TWICE – once ebook and another audiobook -, and can attest that the audio, and its narrators do such a brilliant job with these two that it was even more enrapturing as the written version, it sucked me right in, and I never wanted to let go. Ms. Bromberg has such a gift for words, and Last Resort just shows that, with how much of HEART and SOUL it’s present in every scene. There aren’t enough words to express what a thrill it is to experience this first hand, one must read it to find out, believe me.

“We fight hard, but we love deeper.”

A interesting premise couple with a stunning back drop, that not only introduce us to an amazing trio of sexy and interesting brothers, but is also the perfect tease to have us begging for the next book, even though we have just been given this flawless HEA. Yep, true KB addiction right here! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

“There is no negotiating when it comes to us. Ever.”

 “Ever?” 

He presses a kiss to my lips. “Ever.”

RELEASE BLITZ + REVIEW : THE SECRET (Single In Seattle #1) by Kristen Proby

THE SECRET

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Synopsis

From NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kristen Proby comes a forbidden romance. The Secret is the first in the Single in Seattle series!

Vaughn is everything I’m supposed to stay away from. Sexy. Cocky. And famous.

Ultra-famous.

I grew up in a family full of wealthy celebrities. My father, Luke Williams, is the celebrity of them all. A superstar actor and producer, my father knows the downside of living in the spotlight. And because of that, he sheltered my siblings and me from everything Hollywood entailed. We didn’t attend premieres. We weren’t photographed. There were no friendships with other celebrities’ children.

The limelight couldn’t touch us.

But now, at twenty-five, I’m ready to start my life, working for my father’s production company in downtown Seattle—until Vaughn Barrymore walks through the door.

He can’t keep his hands off me. He’s completely forbidden, but I can’t help falling for the sweet, complicated man.
When—and it’s when not if—my family finds out that I’ve been keeping this secret, will I have to choose between the man I love and those who mean the most to me? Or, by some miracle, can I have both?

5 ‘Worth It’ Stars

 

Well, hot d@mn… Tantalizingly romantic, passionate and heartwarming, The Secret brought me back to my very first Kristen Proby love, Come Away With Me, and it had nothing – okay, maybe a little, lol – to do with Liv’s parents per se, though we see plenty of them *happy sigh*, and all with to do with The Secret’s vibe of the original and classic KP brand of sweet and sexy romance.

All that warm fuzzies I felt while discovering Ms. Proby’s brilliant writing, many years ago, I felt in this one, with the added embellishment of an even more refined and expressive story telling. Olivia and Vaughn’s tale is their own, 100%, but I loved the parallel set between theirs, and her parents’ romance, and its hardships, so that her parents could advice and show their wisdom. And talking about wisdom, wow, Vaughn surprised and went straight up there to the top book boyfriends, with his words and actions. Swoon fest all the way! Of course adored,  not only all of that, but my beloved ever present family dynamic, Montgomery staple of friendship and support. How can you not love this gang?! 

The Secret truly surpassed all my expectation, and I couldn’t be happier about it, as it set the perfect tone for this Spin off series. Single In Seattle, with Liv and Vaughn’s fantastic and captivating love story, went straight to my all time favorites, so much so I’m already dying to see which Montgomery will fall next! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 

No one’s ever been this important. 

This damn vital. 

And she’s all mine.

About the Author

Kristen Proby_AuthorPic1

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.

RELEASE BLITZ + REVIEW & GI’S FAV: A TREACHEROUS TRADE (The Fiona Mahoney My

 

A TREACHEROUS TRADE

Series: The Fiona Mahoney Mysteries #2

Author: Kerrigan Byrne

Genre: Historical Mystery

Release Date: March 8th, 2022

Goodreads ADD button

 

Synopsis

 

Fiona Mahoney chases Jack the Ripper from the shadows of Whitechapel into the most infamous brothels of Victorian London’s thriving sex trade, where secrets are exchanged as currency, and the bodies of murdered women leave a lethal trail to follow…

Standing in the ashes of her tragedy and laden with the secrets of the dead, Fiona seeks out the rough and relentless Inspector Grayson Croft to unburden her conscience. Before she can confess, Croft reveals the one thing that could dispel all thoughts of revelation.

Prostitutes are again being murdered, and a name is being whispered over their suggestively staged corpses. The name of the man who brutally slaughtered her childhood best friend. The name against which Fiona would sell her very soul for vengeance.

Jack the Ripper.

Only the promise of justice could entice Fiona to do something as reckless and daring as infiltrating the ranks of elite courtesans who accept the threat of violence as a nightly norm. She quickly learns that sin and scandal are powerfully compelling motives for murder, and that the secrets of the dead are sometimes worth keeping… if only to avoid becoming the next victim.

When the danger becomes too deadly to face alone, Fiona is forced to call upon old enemies and new friends including “the Hammer” a charismatic gangster, and “the Blade” an enigmatic assassin, and maybe even the Ripper, himself. Who better to help pursue a relentless evil than the devil you know?

5 ‘The Cards’ Stars

 

EX…TRAOR…DI…NARY!!! Tantalizingly enrapturing, cleverly orchestrated, and so heartbreakingly emotional and real, A Treacherous Trade surpassed all my wildest expectations! 

For more than two years I’ve been dying for more of, not only Fiona, but Croft, The Hammer and The Blade, and well, all my prayers were answered because more – so much more! – we got, and still, after that surprisingly and maddening ‘ending’ I’m left BEGGING for the next, I NEED to know who was Fiona’s choice. My romantic heart can’t take the added suspense, and Ms. Byrne sure knows how to tease us!!!

The way the story’s mystery unveils, all its cards are laid, and how they intertwined  with not only the Ripper storyline, but also Fiona’s personal and intimate tale, are done so exquisitely well that I was not only fully immersed into it, but felt like I was LIVING it along with Fiona. In this the superb audiobook also factored in, no doubt, due to it’s brilliant narration. Kerrigan Byrne set the premise so exquisitely in Business of Blood with its complex and intriguing characters, that in Treacherous Trade I felt the fluidity of the mysteries as one, and for that I warn that though possible to understand and enjoy the books individually, for the full Mahoney experience, one should read them together. Trust me, and heed my warning, you will be left wanting even more, just like I am. I DESPERATELY need more Fiona and all her ‘wolves’!

About the Author

 

Kerrigan 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.

4 ‘My Love Language’ Stars

 

Well, I’ll be damned, these two were quite a surprise! With one of the best meet cut, opening scenes, Make Me Your Villain, hooked me up from that very first moment.

Plenty of insta attraction to sate my romantic ‘soulmates’ lover heart, Iris and Callum – aka Shine – truly were exceptional together. Ms. Vale once again gave us some hilariously down to earth moments, smoking hot chemistry, and a whole lot of exes – I was thrilled by how equally they were paired with annoying exes, lol – and family drama. One thing I have to say is that after dozens of LLV books read, I didn’t see one of the components of the closure coming, and was actually surprised, or dare I say a bit shocked…

Nonetheless, Make Me Your Villain was yet another deliciously addictive suspense read, that after all the teasing with the other brother’s stories, has me dying to see the next Crow fall. <3 <3 <3 <3 

With one kiss, one press of our lips and touch of our bodies, we were each other’s.
