RELEASE BLITZ + REVIEW : THE SCORE (Single In Seattle #3) by Kristen Proby

THE SCORE

Series: Single In Seattle #3

Author: Kristen Proby

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: January 31st, 2023

 

I have millions of followers on social media, and it has absolutely nothing to do with my last name. It’s because I’m good at what I do. I work hard, and it has paid off.
I’m not a trainer who only talks the talk, either. I walk the walk—or rather, I run the run. It was actually during one of those jogs through the park that I ran into him.


Of course, at the time, I didn’t realize it was the Isaiah “Ike” Harrison, Seattle’s hot new quarterback. All I knew was that I was suddenly pinned under some solid, sexy body, unable to breathe.


But even now, I keep running into Ike in the most unexpected places.
And he’s doing everything in his power to convince me that he’s not just a player—in any form of the word.
It’s so much more than that.
But I’ve been there, done that. I have the mended broken heart to prove it and have no intention of doing it again.
Except the frustrating man is convincing, and my walls are quickly lowering—especially when I feel responsible for possibly upending his career.


Is letting him in a mistake? Or will it be the best thing I’ve ever done?

4.5 ‘It’s Just So…Ike’ Stars

 

Irresistible, utterly addicted and irresistible!!! There she goes again, Kristen Proby sticks again with another swooning, charming and uber sexy love story!

The Score tells us all about the romance tale of Sophie Montgomery, a lifestyle/nutritionist influencer, and Ike Harrison, Seattle’s star quarterback, after one sweet and attraction charged meet cute, where they literally run into each other!

After a second chance meeting, and again some undeniable chemistry, they start dating, and omg, I couldn’t get enough of their love fast blossoming, specially with Ms. Proby’s trademark ‘real and relatable’  relationship build up, which it’s impossible not connect with, to be honest. I loved every second of it.

The two… Wow… How they so effortless MATCHED, how they surrendered to soulmate connection, just couldn’t be beat, really. Ike was as delicious as possible, and I swooned so hard, because not only was he hot, sexy, Alpha and sweet, but he has an heart of pure gold, if you read this – and you must!! – you’ll see what I mean, because he fits like a glove in this extraordinary Montgomery family. How I adore this gang! I’ll never get enough. So much so that I’m already trying to guess who will fall next… Maybe Keaton… Please and thank you?! 😉 <3 <3 <3 <3 

“Soph, I’m completely addicted to you.”

“I can’t get enough of you. I crave you every minute of every fucking day, Sophie.”

RELEASE BLITZ + REVIEW: CUTE BUT PSYCHO (Gator Bait MC #3) by Lani Lynn Vale

CUTE BUT PSYCHO

Series: Gator Bait MC #3

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: January 17th, 2023

Synopsis
 

Etienne LaFayette hits the ground running the moment he breathes free air after being paroled from a maximum-security prison in Texas.

He claws his life back from his brother-in-law who’d taken over his business during the years he’d spent as an inmate at Huntsville Penitentiary. Though it is hard, he puts his life back together in Accident, Florida.

There, he hires new employees, joins a motorcycle club, and becomes wildly successful overnight.

Seems like the perfect life, right?

Wrong.

Because one of his first clients is a beautiful, curly-haired woman that reels him in from the moment he first lays eyes on her. Only, before he can work his charm, she forms an opinion of him based solely on the person that he chose to work at his side, day in and day out. That opinion? Utter disgust.

***

Matilda Deveraux has been dealt blow after blow her entire life.

First with the death of her mom. Then living with a stepfamily that despises her.

Her entire life she’s been known as different. The “weird girl that creeps everyone out.”

It’s not her fault that she’s different, yet everyone, including Etienne’s assistant, treats her like she’s a menace to society.
Like she would be better off in a loony bin than gracing the streets of Accident, Florida.

After years of abuse from everyone around her, the last thing she needs is to be around a man that would have that horrible woman around him twenty-four seven.

As a result, she forms an opinion—something that people do to her all the time—and treats him accordingly.
Only, it turns out that Etienne isn’t who she thought he was.

He’s much, much worse. But only in the best of ways.

4.25  ‘Like Finally Coming Home’ Stars

 

My, oh my… How these two stole my heart! Etienne and Matilda’s love story is quite a tale… Sweet, steamy, funny and with the perfect amount of suspense, Cute but Psycho – love the title, by the way – hit just the right spot for this beginning of 2023. We are off to a great start!

Meeting immediately after Etienne’s release from jail – like all the other Gator Bait MC members, he was in prison for fighting for someone else, for being on the ‘good’ side of justice – these two were instantly intrigued by one another. Matilda, being the product of an affair, has had a tough time in life, specially after her mom passed and  she had to go  live and be part of her father’s family, and let me tell you, what an awful family it is! Adding to that being neurodivergent, she keeps much to herself, distant from all others, apart from everyone but her best friend ad business partner, Diana. She has always felt on the outside and never truly loved… That quickly changes after they get together, because not only is Etienne fully devoted to her, but she gains a new family in all of Etienne’s MC brothers and their partners. 

I didn’t want to be anyone’s responsibility. 

I wanted to be their passion. Their first choice. Their main reason for breathing.

She’s mine to take care of now. She’s mine to protect. She’s mine to make sure she doesn’t get manipulated by you again.

Etienne made me swoon, HARD! The way he cared and loved Matilda, that he not only respected her quirks and mannerisms but supported and was always there for her, WOW… Absolutely impossible to resist, and trying she did, lol. 

These guys, Gator Bait MC, really are something else! With each book I’m left thrilled, and psyched for more. With all the hints we got from Cassius and Alice, oh boy, are we in for a treat, and I can’t freaking wait!!!!

All your quirks. All your kisses. All your Sunday morning snuggles. I want them all. And I want it in the most permanent way possible.”

 

It felt like finally coming home.

RELEASE BLITZ + REVIEW & GI’S FAV: WICKED IN ME (Devil’s Cradle #1) by Suzanne Wright

WICKED IN ME

Series: Devil’s Cradle #1

Author: Suzanne Wright

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Release Date: January 12th, 2022

 

Synopsis

No one really knows what they are. Only that they’re the first civilization. Aeons, they call themselves. They’re immortal. Powerful. Secretive.

And they’ll come for her.

Witch Wynter Dellavale knows that for certain. Because in unfairly trying to execute her, they started a chain of events they’re struggling to stop. Needing safety, she flees to Devil’s Cradle, the home of monsters. A place for the outcasts, the fugitives, the crazies. A place ruled by the Ancients, seven beings who were once banished by the Aeons. Among the Ancients is the infamous Cain, brother of Abel and embodiment of jealousy – who, on another note, wants her in his bed.

There’s a heavy price for the safety the Ancients offer, but Wynter will have to pay it. She can’t take on the Aeons alone. And she has no intention of dying – been there, done that.

Not that she’ll be the easy prey the Aeons are expecting. They have no knowledge of the … thing that lives inside her. You see, when witches are brought back from the afterlife, they don’t always come back the same.

And they don’t always come back alone.

5  ‘Body and Soul’ Stars

 

Well, I’ll be DAMNED (pun intended)!!! I just knew it, this Devil’s Cradle series ROCKED. My. World!!! That’s right, my all time favourite PNR series Dark In You –  the one where this spin off originates – has some serious competition. Consider my mind BLOWN!!!

Wynter’s background broke my heart, but her crew is making her heal as well as driving her insane, and I adored every single one of those crazies. When they decide too seek asylum in Devil’s Cradle, it’s like it was fated, because the Ancients are the perfect adversaries for the Aeons, given their millennia’s old history.

I’ll not spoil anything, but as soon as Wynter comes to Devil’s Cradle to seek refuge, and none other than Cain himself greets her, she more than caught his eye, it’s like she’s HIS from the get go, that’s how insane their chemistry and attraction was. Adding to that that Cain is as OTT Alpha as my beloved Knox, she didn’t stand a chance, not that she wanted, lol, because he was the OBSESSED with Wynter…

But Wynter . . . he fucking burned for her.

Their relationship fast tracked, but understandably so, these are INTENSE beings, from the get go, after all, but I loved their ‘no BS’ attitude in all things, these are my kind of people. 

And talking about people, ALL the side characters are so intriguing and nuts – specially her quirky and bad@ss crew – but also Cain’s crew, the other Ancients, that I can’t wait for find more out about them. There was never one dull moment on the book, I tell you, I DEVOURED it in one sitting. Yep, from the first page I was hooked, enraptured, and like Cain, OBSESSED!

“I’m not just going to fuck you, sweet witch. I’m going to ruin you. Corrupt you. Consume you.” His tongue traced the shell of her ear. “You’ll break. You’ll cry. You’ll feel like you’re mine.”

His to pleasure, rule, ruin, corrupt, play with—whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted.

Cain and Wynter are a match made in heaven – or should I say hell, lol? – I was addicted from the very first meeting, and want to know it all, not only are they evenly matched power wise, but their chemistry was crackling in every moment they were near each other, it was a palpable thing, therefore it was no surprise that their steamy times are some of the sexy and hottest I’ve had the pleasure of reading.

Wicked in Me had it all: sexy romance, hilarious ROFL moments, mind grabbing banter, and some brilliant action and suspense scenes, it really gave us everything, and still Ms. Wright left me begging for more! 

Gahhh, how am I supposed to live, and satisfy my romance lover heart until their next book comes out?! NEED… IT…

“I want you to belong to me so completely that I own your every fucking thought.”

 

“You’re just as fucking insane as I am.”
