COVER REVEAL: EIGHTY-ONE NIGHTS by Georgia Cates

Eighty-One Nights (Beautiful Illusions Duet #1) by Georgia Cates Release Date: April 9th

Add to Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44284142-eighty-one-nights

Blurb:

Beautiful, penniless American girl meets handsome, wealthy Scotsman.

Sounds like the beginning of a fairy-tale romance?

It’s not.

This story begins with a contract.

And an exchange of money.

A lot of money.

An angel perches nervously on one shoulder.

A devil lounges smugly on my other.

And even that dark little bastard is leery of what I’m doing.

Maxwell Hutcheson wants the girlfriend experience.

All of it.

And I’m going to give it to him.

I’m not supposed to enjoy being his whore.

I’m also not supposed to fall in love with him.

But I do. Both.

When our contract expires, I will walk away.

Because I have to.

But he’ll always have a piece of me.

I’ll mask my sorrow with a smile.

I’ll hide my love with indifference

… all while it’s killing me softly.

A fairy-tale romance.

It isn’t mine to have.

And this man I’ve come to love so dearly isn’t my happily ever after.

About Eighty-One Nights:

While the characters from Eighty-One Nights are entirely new, their storyline is a combination of fresh material and carefully selected themes, scenes, and settings from The Beauty Series, The Sin Trilogy, Dear Agony, and Indulge. This is intentional. I chose some of my favorite elements from previous releases and interjected them into Hutch and Lou’s story. Let’s call it a “story fusion” between our old favorites and new material. This work was briefly released under a pen name and was titled The Girlfriend Experience.

About the Author:

Georgia resides in rural Mississippi with her wonderful husband, Jeff, and their two beautiful daughters. She spent fourteen years as a labor and delivery nurse before she decided to pursue her dream of becoming an author and hasn’t looked back yet.

When she’s not writing, she’s thinking about writing. When she’s being domestic, she’s listening to her music and visualizing scenes for her current work in progress. Every story coming from her always has a song to inspire it.

Blurb Once upon a time, six children stumbled upon a wild place hidden deep in the moors, shrouded by secrets and fog. There we played a game among the roses and the thorns that would change us forever, that would follow us the rest of our lives. A game that ended with a hard kiss in the rain and tattered flower petals fluttering from above…

And twelve years later, we’re back.

The heir. The dreamer. The priest. The genius. The socialite. The saint.

I’m not going to dream of a forgotten place covered in thorns every night. I won’t be enchanted by Thornchapel and its glossy, glamorous people. I’m not going to fall in love or have my heart torn in two.

I’m not telling the truth.

Because as this place slowly tightens its coil of secrets and thorns around us, as we uncover the knotted mysteries that grow here, the six of us begin to unravel into filthy, holy pleasure and pain. Fulfilling the promise we once made as children in those whispering ruins, and awakening a fate that will either anoint us or leave us in ashes…

About the Author:

REVIEW: Screwed ;Dad Bod Contracting , #4 by Jasinda Wilder

"He has to be ready for it, Jess," I say, my voice low and quiet. 

Jesse nods. "I know. It's just that I'm a fixer, and his broken-ass heart is the one thing I can't fix."

 "No one can," I say. "I can't fix his broken heart. He has to be willing to be with me with a whole heart. There'd be pieces missing, and seams and cracks, but offered as a whole. I'm worth more than just taking the screwed up mess of him, just to have part. I want more than that—I deserve more. If he can get there, I'll be here waiting. I've got nothing but time, Jess. I'm not going anywhere, and I told him that. I'm willing to wait—because I think he's worth waiting for." I smile at Jesse. "If he can get his head out of his ass and work on rebuilding his broken-ass heart, he'll be worth having waited for."

Except I've already waited so long. For him—for anyone, but especially for him. Endured so much. Spent so long alone, and lonely. And now James is RIGHT THERE, but still out of reach. My heart wants him, my body wants him, but my fears say he'll only hurt me. And he himself says he's not sure he'll ever be able to get over the past—losing his wife. I don't blame him, but...

How long can I wait? And if he does come around, will it be worth it?

Perfect ending to this series that all can be read as standalones.

Love that all the characters in this series are older and wiser and have lived life and then some to find their happily ever after.

This is James & Nova's story.

I was waiting for this one because I wanted to know how things would end with them & Author Jasinda Wilder gave it all!

I laughed & cried reading this book.

It has all the feels and enjoyed that many of the life events that Nova & James go through touched me personally.

A well rounded series that I will be going back to read over and over again.

Go #oneclick them all!

REVIEW & NEW RELEASE: Diary of a Bad Boy by Meghan Quinn

Universal Amazon Link

Free on Kindle Unlimited!

Dear Diary,

I might have gotten myself into a wee bit of trouble—and I'm not talking about the "court mandated community service," or “therapy sessions from bashing a bloke in the head" kind of trouble.

I wish it were that simple.

Nope. I’m talking about the "falling in love with one of my client's daughters,” kind of trouble . . .

The kind of problem I can’t talk my way out of when the truth gets out.

How I ended up with her phone is a long story—and when she called to get it back, I took things a bit too far. One innocent exchange wound up leading to so much more.

Fun, new, and totally immune to my charm, Sutton is different. And I had no idea she was the daughter of Foster Green.

Blame it on the dark colored stout running through my veins, pushing me toward one bad decision after another. Pushing me toward her even though I know right from wrong; even though she's my client's daughter.

Dating her might be the best or worst decision I've ever made. Only time, whiskey, and one more roll around the mattress with her will tell.

Roark

🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒 🍒🍒 🍒🍒

Dear Diary,

I'm a hopeless romantic lass who fell for a bad boy named Roark!

Well now... he totally surprised me.

Oh yeah and that cover model was the perfect image of Roark in my mind as I read!

Author Meghan Quinn gives a new book boyfriend you want to hate but end up falling hard for in the end because he is just that awesome.

My steps for falling Roark happened in this order while reading:

I freaking wanted to choke him,

then strangle him,

then slap him,

then kick him in the balls just like Sutton wanted to,

then I started to find his cocky persona a turn on because aren't we all suckers for a bad boy with a smart mouth (in more ways than one) & a sexy confidence with an accent to die for.

And then he did me in on the way he did Sutton...

Yep not giving away what happened but all I will say when reading this book is a YES in finding out if Roark is such a Bad Boy as everyone thinks he is.

Totally enjoyed this book!

It's full of memorable funny moments, steamy & of course that perfect amount of romance that will have your heart swooning.
