RELEASE BLITZ + REVIEW : CAULDRONS CALL (The Curse Of The Blood Moon #2) by Kristen Proby

CAULDRONS CALL

Series: The Curse Of The Blood Moon #2

Author: Kristen Proby

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Release Date: March 21st, 2023

 

Breena has known Giles all her life—and has loved him for nearly as long. Linked by the ties of family and coven, Breena has had a lifetime to discover everything there is to know about him. His intelligence and specialization in crystals and gems are truly things to admire, but it’s how he smiles at her that really makes her cauldron bubble. Too bad he’s completely oblivious.

Giles isn’t as oblivious as Breena thinks he is. A powerful witch, he’s spent most of his life hiding his true feelings from her, but he can’t ignore the fact that she’s hurting and plagued by the same nightmares that haunt him every night. So, getting her to move in with him so he can do just that seems like simple common sense. The hard part will be resisting the way Breena makes him feel.

But evil has invaded their world, and it has the power to kill every witch in Salem.  Breena has no time to wallow in what might have been and Giles’ desire to protect her is stronger than the power contained in his crystals . Together they must lift the curse of the blood moon before time runs out. If they can’t, the people Breena loves the most are all in danger. It will take every skill she’s honed as a witch to protect what’s hers and the man who cast a spell on her heart.


Will they have time to kindle their love for each other, or will the clock run out at the hands of fate?

4 ‘You Are My Home’ Stars

Awww… What a wonderful and ghostly read! And what a delightful pairing, Breena and Giles are so perfectly matched it’s a wonder that it took them so long to ‘discover’ one another! Ms. Proby has me addicted to her brand of supernatural romance!

Cauldrons Call is the perfect follow up to Hallows End, because it continues right after the events of the first book, while giving us insight into Breena and Giles’ love story. I’m so glad that Lorelei spilled the beans on Hallows End, because without her ‘indiscretion’ I don’t think we would have gotten this romance so soon – though not soon enough – because apparently Breena’s thought to be unrequited lifetime crush for Giles isn’t one sided at all, he just hadn’t allow himself to see what was right in front of him, but once his eyes were open, he was all in!

Kristen Proby manages to capture seemingly effortlessly this aura of mystic and supernatural vibes, that left me honestly creeped out, in the best of ways, while reading this book alone in the dark, on the late hours of the night. It gave me goosebumps while doing so, so kudos to the author for giving us this ghostly atmosphere! Much like her first Paranormal series, I love that in The Curse of The Blood Moon we have a conduit of global mystery/suspense that binds all the storylines, while showing us each of the couples’ love tale. I was completely immersed in extra spooky, sexy and lovely read, and can’t wait for Lorelei and Xander, and the summit of this series, I’m dying of curiosity to see what happens next!

The love I’ve found with you is so much bigger, so much more than anything I could have thought up in my imagination.

“I love you, Breena. With everything in me, with every breath I take, I love you so much that there are times I think I might explode with it. The craziest part is that love just grows each day, and I find that I can hold even more, despite thinking for sure there was no way that could possibly be true. You’re everything good in this world.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW + GI’S FAV: THE LONG WAY HOME (Corps Security #7) by Harper Sloan

THE LONG WAY HOME

Series: Corps Security #7

Author: Harper Sloan

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: March 14th, 2023

 

There’s a price to pay for a life with a greater purpose. The healing of time is a damn liar when you’re living a life as a dead man with no true home, and the silence couldn’t be more deafening. Counting the days, good and bad, I exist as the world keeps spinning. I can never look back. All I can do is hope I took enough out of that life to carry me forward on those dead legs. Everything that was meant to give the tragedy of my life meaning ended up holding me prisoner in this wreckage of my past.

Until now.

One look into her eyes and I’m completely disarmed. It’s only everything I thought I gave up. These walls I’ve built to protect and shroud me crumble more whenever she’s near. I’ve spent years waiting for a reason to breathe again, and now that I have her within reach, I’m not sure I can keep her. Is it possible to find both the missing piece of my soul and the remedy to my healing in one set of bright green eyes? Everything I thought I would never have is staring back at me saying … yes, I can.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW + GI’S FAV: FOR nEVER by Aurora Rose Reynolds

FOR nEVER

Series: Standalone

Author: Aurora Rose Reynolds

Genre: Contemporary Romance 

Release Date: March 14th, 2023

 

Synopsis

I had no idea that taking a temp job for the summer would send my life into a tailspin, but that’s exactly what happened when I started working for Jace Ellis.
One day I was his secretary and the next I was sitting on his private plane, wearing an obnoxiously large engagement ring, after he asked me if I would pretend to be his fiancé for one week.
I can admit that greed got the best of me. But the money he offered in exchange for my lie would help not only me, but my mom out tremendously.
I just had no idea what I was actually getting myself into.
I didn’t think about the fact that we would be sharing a bed, that we would have to pretend to like each other, and I sure didn’t know that I would be surrounded by his entire family at their annual family reunion.
But if the guy want’s a fiancé, I’m going to be the best one he’ll ever have.
I just hope I can remember that this isn’t forever; it’s for never.

5 ‘A Love Story For The History Books‘ Stars

WOW… Easiest FIVE STARS I’ve ever EVER given! Only ARR can put, at once, an happy and satisfied smile on my face, and a cozy heartwarming feeling in my chest like this! 

I just knew Jace and Penny would stole my heart, and they sure did in the most spectacular of ways. Everything about this book was perfection to me, and the fact that it has some of my all time favourite tropes like forced proximity, one bed, fake relationship, is just the cherry on top of this utterly delicious ‘cake’!

“You’re never getting rid of me.”

“I knew the minute I saw her that I had to have her.”
” It feels like I’ve known her forever.”

And just like that, I’m living back in the land of delusion, because everything in me wants to believe this is real.

I devoured this book in one sitting, that’s how hooked I was from the very first page! Ms. Reynolds really outdid herself with this one, because out of nowhere – considering it’s a brand new standalone – she is giving us one of my favourite reads, of not only 2023, but all time! Now I’m just left here begging her to gives us, PLEASE, a novella or some kind of extra so we can spy on Penny and Jace in their HEA!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

Now and always.
I know I will always be grateful that Never turned into Forever for us.

RELEASE BLITZ + REVIEW: ANNOYED AT FIRST SIGHT (Gator Bait MC #4) by Lani Lynn Vale

 

ANNOYED AT FIRST SIGHT

Series: Gator Bait MC #4

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: February 28th, 2023

Synopsis
 

The first time Cassius Ulysses Costas met Alice Paradis, she was in a string bikini and filling up a long line of boats that were there just to see her. She was eighteen and every man’s wet dream.

Even his.

For the longest time, he went out of his way to stay as far away from her as he could get without actually taking his eyes off of her. For years, he was the better person. He played his hand close, and not a single person would know just how obsessed he was with her.

Then he goes to prison and comes out a man that couldn’t care less about anyone or anything, least of all what someone thought of him and his actions. But not one second while he was behind bars did he forget about Alice.

He tries to stay away. For a few long months, he fights his every instinct to make her his. But, as if the universe is conspiring against him, Alice is thrown into his path time after time, instance after instance.

And his resolve is waning. Fast.

In one last ditch effort to stay away, he walks away, hoping making her mad enough will force her to do the work for him.
However, when Alice is attacked, it isn’t Cassius’s harsh words she remembers, but the way he makes her feel safe.

Soon, the very last thing he’ll do is let her walk away. He did the right thing, and that didn’t work out. Now, it’s time for him to embrace the wrong.He’s much, much worse. But only in the best of ways.

3.5  ‘Two Souls Meant To Be Together’ Stars

 

Oh my… I just knew that these two would put me through the wringer, and that they did! Cassius and Alice took their sweet time getting there, but it was soooooo worth it in the end. They are meant to be, no doubt about it!

Going by the previous book, I knew Cassius and Alice’s story would be a tricky one for me, given my pet peeves, and yep, I was right, there was multiple times I wanted to knock their heads together, special Cassius – hot damn, he’s one stubborn Alpha – and make them face the music, because everyone, and I mean EVERYONE and their mother knew they were perfect for each other, soulmates. A couple of hard headed ones, but still soulmates 😉

When two souls are meant to be together like you and him are… that’s not something you can stop.”

Trying to stop they did, for more than half the book, I warn you, lol, but once they got with the system, wow, we could feel the perfect pairing! Once again kudos to Ms. Vale for keeping me glued to the pages dying to find out first, when they would finally give in, and second, how the suspense would unfold. After getting together it was one wild ride, and that twist in the end, hot d@mn… I did NOT see that coming!!!

Also, she was it for me, and I was it for her.
