REVIEW: Practice to Deceive by Olivia Evans

🔥🔥 NEW RELEASE 🔥🔥
PRACTICE TO DECEIVE by Olivia Evans is LIVE!


I wasn’t always a bad guy, but betrayal has a way of finding your darkest inner demons. Great friends and family weren’t enough to save me. I wanted revenge. When the opportunity presented itself, I felt justified. That’s karma, right? 

Turns out, karma has a way of circling back. 

If only I hadn’t been so stupid.

If only I’d known what my deceit would cost me. 

It will take a lot of work to unravel the damage I’ve done, but I’ll do it. I’ll do anything to keep from losing her.

Brennan is the guy you love to hate...

but after reading this story, you won't be able to.

Author Olivia Evans brings it hard with the story that is filled with love, betrayal, heartache, compelling story that will leave you breathless in love.

I loved the build up of Brennan on how his mind ticks.

The dynamics in which he has Skylar falling for him even though his motivates are not at all what they should be kept me turning each page waiting to see what would happen next.

Very entertaining and this book kept me guessing if Skylar and Brennan would ever be able to have a happily ever after.

Go get this book and find out if being deceitful with lies can help find the one you truly love.

REVIEW & NEW RELEASE: Moonlighter (The Company, #1) by Sarina Bowen


Moonlighter 
(The Company Book 1)
By 
Sarina Bowen

Released: October 22, 2019

BUY:

Moonlighter is a stand-alone novel. 
No cliffhangers, no prior experience necessary. 
Contains: hackers, hockey players, and a hotel room with only one bed.



Only in my family could a professional hockey player earning seven million dollars a year be considered a slacker.

I’m at the height of my athletic career. Yet my arrogant brother is always trying to recruit me into the family business: a global security company so secretive that I don’t even know its name. 

Pass, thanks. I don’t need a summer job. 

But the jerk ambushes me with a damsel in distress. That damsel is Alex, the competitive, sassy girl I knew when we were kids. Now she’s a drop-dead gorgeous woman in deep trouble.

So guess who’s on a flight to Hawaii?

It’s going to be a long week in paradise. My job is keeping Alex safe, while her job is torturing me with her tiny bikinis. Or maybe we’re torturing each other. It’s all snark and flirting until the threat against Alex gets serious. And this jock must become her major league protector. 

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

If you love a book that is filled with hot hockey players, funny, sexy, and is filled with a suspenseful romance, then this is the book for you!

Author Sarina Bowen delivers us the sexy Eric Bayer who I have totally been wanting to see what would happen with him.

This book is a standalone in the Brooklyn Bruiser series but believe me when you finish reading this book, you will want to grab the others and find out all about these hot sexy men & ladies!

I loved how Eric is soo committed to being Alex's fake boyfriend to keep her safe.

Alex is one strong woman and I loved the relationship she has with Eric.

This book had me on my toes on finding out if Eric could keep Alex safe while letting himself fall hard in love with her.

Excellent chemistry, mystery, suspense and lovable characters.

Go get this book and find out if Moonlighting can be the key to finding love.

COVER REVEAL: Chase the Butterflies by Monica James



CHASE THE BUTTERFLIES
by
Monica James 

Releasing: December 5, 2019


“Victoria, will you marry me?”

Those words changed my life forever…just not in the way it would for most. I had it all until one fateful evening transformed my life in ways I never imagined.

Nine months later, I move to a sleepy little town, hoping to escape the demons of my past. As I attempt to claim back my life, Jude Montgomery enters my world, and things begin to change.

I thought running would appease the nightmares, but I soon discover my past won’t let go. Things are not what they seem, and I begin to question the world as I know it. Jude may hold the answers, but will my love for him blind me to the truth? 

Does the flap of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas? In my case, yes, it does.

Will the truth set me free? Or will it imprison us both?

My name is Victoria Armstrong, and this is my story…I think.

EARLY REVIEW: Twice in a Blue Moon by Christina Lauren



Twice in a Blue Moon

by

Christina Lauren

Releasing: October 22, 3019

PURCHASE HERE FROM ALL RETAILERS:



Sam Brandis was Tate Jones’s first: Her first love. Her first everything. Including her first heartbreak.

During a whirlwind two-week vacation abroad, Sam and Tate fell for each other in only the way that first loves do: sharing all of their hopes, dreams, and deepest secrets along the way. Sam was the first, and only, person that Tate—the long-lost daughter of one of the world’s biggest film stars—ever revealed her identity to. So when it becomes clear her trust was misplaced, her world shattered for good.
Fourteen years later, Tate, now an up-and-coming actress, only thinks about her first love every once in a blue moon. When she steps onto the set of her first big break, he’s the last person she expects to see. Yet here Sam is, the same charming, confident man she knew, but even more alluring than she remembered. Forced to confront the man who betrayed her, Tate must ask herself if it’s possible to do the wrong thing for the right reason…whether “once in a lifetime” can come around twice.

I am a sucker for Second Chance romances & Author Christina Lauren delivered it.

I liked the unusual story of Sam & Tate.
There is a good combination of love, heartache, sexy times and a very good mystery of why these two did not work out the first time. 

This book brought me back to my days living in Hollywood and the people that I was surround by like Tate.  It is a world that was brought to life in this story and made it feel so real to be in Tate and Sam's world. Many emotions flowed reading this book.

Sam was frustrating to like in the beginning but he grew into me and I totally understood why he was soo guarded just like Tate was with their feelings towards one another.

Tons of angst so be warned that you will want to smack these two around and yell at your book in frustration but when that frustration is finally popped, be ready to explode in excitement with Tate and Sam getting that second chance in love,

Very well developed plot and storyline.  Many of the background characters I want to know more about and hope to see in future books of their stories.

Can a summer fling become the love of a lifetime?
Perpetual good girl Caterina Longo is dependable to a fault. At 33, she’s never called in sick. Never had a one-night stand. Never taken a chance in her entire life. When she walks in on a cheating ex and sees everything wrong with her life, she takes off on a solo vacation, busting out of her comfort zone and into the arms of a guy she never saw coming.
Joe Hunter has no room for distractions. Making his restaurant a success and proving his worth to his family—and himself—is his sole focus. At least it is until a beautiful stranger, in search of fried food and a shoulder, wanders in one night.
Is two weeks of unexpected, life-altering passion all they’re meant to share? What happens when vacation ends and real life takes over?
