RELEASE BLITZ + REVIEW : FERNHILL LANE(Huckleberry Bay #2) by Kristen Proby

FERNHILL LANE

Series: Huckleberry Bay #2

Author: Kristen Proby

Genre: Small Town Romance

Release Date: November 15th, 2022

 

She didn’t think she’d ever come home again.

When Sarah Bitterman left Huckleberry Bay at the tender age of nineteen, newly married to a much older man, she had every intention of coming home to visit. Sadly, she quickly learned that was out of the question.

Until her husband throws her out with only the clothes on her back and finally sets Sarah free.

Coming back to the small seaside town has been the hardest thing she’s ever done. Facing those who loved her the most and think she turned her back on them is almost unbearable. But she needs her two best friends, and she’s longed to make amends with her little brother.

Huckleberry Bay is like the art in her soul. And now she can put down roots and begin to heal.

Tanner Hilleman knew it was a mistake to let the love of his life go all those years ago, and he’s never stopped thinking about her. Now that she’s home, while he’s giving her the space she needs, he’s also determined to make Sarah see that they belong together.

Unfortunately, Sarah’s past has followed her to Huckleberry Bay and threatens to destroy everything she loves. Will she and Tanner survive it? Or will it tear them apart for good?

3.75 ‘Come Home’ Stars

Awwww, talk about a sweet second chance romance! I’m adoring this Huckleberry Bay gang and all its interesting characters and stories, this time with Sarah and Tanner’s love tale. It’s been a rough one, specially for poor Sarah, but now those times are gone and its all about falling in love again, and truly coming back HOME…

Fernhill Lane is just as captivating, sexy and entertaining as usual staple in Ms. Proby’s addictive writing, a true feel good romance with just the perfect hint of mystery/suspense, which here was spot on, I was super invested in finding who was the villain, lol.

Thought I adore all things KP, Tanner just didn’t feel like all other Proby’s book boyfriends, and don’t get me wrong, because in the PRESENT he SO is, he actually excels at it! I know I’m a grudgeful b!tch, so the trouble is in my mind 100%, but I just couldn’t get over his reasoning for breaking up with Sarah, his high school sweetheart, given her awful family life – yes, I’m well aware it’s a valid and realistic reason! – but for ME, that’s not a Kristen Proby book boyfriend, didn’t feel like something they would do, no matter if present or past, because that led to her misfortune, when all she wanted was to be loved! Sigh… On the plus side he knows he royally screwed up in the past so me more than makes up for it. Her extremely long celibacy, to his in her face past, also left a bitter taste in my mouth though.

But she DID have someone who never stopped loving her, ALWAYS, her girls, Luna and June, how I adored this sisterhood, the companionship, the pure love, and support, wow, Ms. Proby always gives us strong female characters, so this trio is just proof of that, and I can’t get enough, specially after that epilogue, omg, I need June and Apollo’s book ASAP!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

RELEASE BLITZ + REVIEW: THIS WOMAN (This Man – The Story from Jesse #1) by Jodi Ellen Malpas

THIS WOMAN

Series: This Man – The Story from Jesse #1

Author: Jodi Ellen Malpas

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: November 15th, 2022

Synopsis

 

Jesse Ward has stumbled through life drinking and indulging himself within the rooms of his high-class sex club, The Manor, numbing himself to the pain, grief, and guilt of his wrongs. Pleasure and alcohol are his medicine. Hedonism is all he knows.

It’s how he copes.

How he survives.

Until Ava O’Shea strolls into his office and knocks him back with her breathtaking beauty, ambition, and drive. It only takes one look into her eyes, one touch of her skin, and one word murmured, before his heart is kick-started, offering him something he never thought possible. A distraction from his daily torment. A semblance of peace.

Women never reject Jesse Ward. They fall at his feet, melt from his charismatic, devious smile, and obey his every salacious command. All except the one woman who unwittingly becomes his obsession and the only thing that can keep him from the brink of self-destruction.

He needs Ava and will do anything to have her.

Even hide every last skeleton in his large closet.

Because the truth could destroy them both.

RELEASE BLITZ + REVIEW: NOBODY CARES UNLESS YOU’RE PRETTY (Gator Bait MC #1) by Lani Lynn Vale

NOBODY CARES UNLESS YOU’RE PRETTY

Series: Gator Bait MC #1

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: November 1st, 2022

Synopsis
 

The problem with Wake was that he was understandable. He was the type of villain that literally scared the absolute shit out of you because you knew that under the right circumstances, you could end up exactly like him.

Which, sadly, was the case for me.

I’d done the exact same thing as Wake, and now I was a murderer just like him.

Did I know that I did wrong? Hell yes.

Did I regret that? Hell no.

Did I plan on changing a thing? Also, no.

Was I falling in love with a man that should scare the shit out of me? A resounding hell yes.

4.5  ‘Mine’ Stars

 

What an EPIC start for this new LLV series! Wake and Dutch are true soulmates, brought together by the most unusual of first meetings! Original, intriguing, steamy, romantic, and oh so addictive, this book, had it all, and I couldn’t get enough of it!

Nobody Cares Unless You’re Pretty is a fantastic beginning for this Gator Bait MC series, with an unique premise, with both Wake and Dutch fighting for justice in this unfair world, their own brand of justice, that is. 

We met Wake in the last book of the last book of the Battle Crows MC, as Dory’s ex-con neighbour, and I just knew I was going to love, and here it is, I ADORE him, specially how he fights for the ones he loves. Dutch, that we also met in Never Trust The Living, is such a kick@ss character. Her love for her job, and devotion for her patients, made my heart swell, and when meeting with Wake, wow, talk about chemistry!

This book sucked me right in front the get go, and didn’t let go until the very end: it had it ALL. Wake and Dutch’s story not only was sweet, hilarious, sexy and thrilling, but gave us a peek over the rest of the gang, who I’m already anxiously awaiting to see more of!

 

“The moment I met you in that prison, I knew that I wanted to make you mine.”

“Don’t break my heart, Wake Westfield. I don’t want to have to hurt you.” 

   I laughed right there in her face. “Don’t worry, Dutch Westfield. I’m too old to be breaking hearts anymore. I just want to love you. Not break you.”
