REVIEW & RELEASE DAY BLITZ: Hard Ball by CD Reiss




Title: Hardball
Author: CD Reiss
Genre: Contemporary/Sports Romance
 Release Date: March 29, 2016



Blurb

Perfect ass.
Perfect arms.
Perfect swagger.

They call Dash Wallace the Diamond King.
He’s the hottest commodity in baseball and in the bedroom.
When he runs the bases, every woman’s eyes are glued to his stunning body and a smile that puts the night lights to shame.
I’m no queen. I’m a regular girl with a regular job. I just watch him on TV and from the bleachers, season after season.

Girls like me grab a guy like that one in a million times.
My number just came up, and he is as spectacular in bed as he is on the field.
But there’s not a woman in the world who can distract Dash Wallace from the game. Not for a moment. Not even me.
Until the night I do. And everything changes.

Hardball is a SMOKING HOT, SEXY romance with a touch of angst and a ton of heart from CD Reiss. It's a fun, witty, full-length standalone meant for the over-eighteen crowd.

Yes!  CD Reiss has done it again.

Dash & Vivian are a couple you would never think would be together but the way they come together....
HOT!!!

Couples don't have to have a lot in common and these two showed us exactly that.

Dash is one sexy major league baseball player that got my cherry stems in a twist because damn could he be stubborn, especially when it comes to opening up with Vivian.  He does of course possess the charm of making the cherries pop with the ladies & him being such an Alpha, Vivian totally had him working it harder than he ever has to win her attention and want to be with him.

Vivian the librarian is a character after my own heart.  She totally did it for me.  Her heart is so big and loved how she had a strong head on her shoulders and held it together with everything that went on.

I loved loved loved all the Shakespeare Quotes and references!  Being a Shakespeare fan, I was totally smitten by how the author incorporated it into this raw, sweet, funny and sexy story that I will be reading over and over again!

Go 1 click!  It's a must read!

Author Bio


CD Reiss is a USA Today bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn't pick up she's at the well hauling buckets.

Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master's degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere but it did give her a big enough ego to write novels.

She's frequently referred to as the Shakespeare of Smut which is flattering but hasn't ever gotten her out of chopping that cord of wood.

If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.

REVIEW: Drop Dead Sexy by Katie Ashley

dropdeadsexy1

Synopsis: For Olivia Sullivan, love is more a four letter curse word than a sentiment. Growing up as the daughter of a small town mortician, guys didn’t warm to the fact there were dead people in her house. At thirty, taking over the family business and becoming the town Coroner helped to cement her undateable status. Of course her past sex history didn’t help matters either. Attempt number one with her first love ended barely before it got started with a horrific latex allergy hospitalization. Attempt number two had him coming and then going with an undiagnosed heart condition. For the past three years, Olivia has closed up shop for fear of what might happen next in the bedroom. After being forced to go single to her mother’s lingerie shower, Olivia stumbles into an out of town bar with one intention: find an able bodied stud to go home with to end her losing sex streak. Enter Holden Caulfield Mains aka Catcher, who earned his nickname not just from the book he was named for, but for the fact he was sure to catch the attention any woman who came within a five mile radius. Waking up after a night of the most mind blowing sex she could have ever imagined, a horrified Olivia runs away thinking she’s left Catcher behind. When Olivia’s small town is wracked by its first murder, she never could have imagined her one night stand would reappear in the form of the GBI’s lead investigator. To her mortification, Catcher isn’t ready to let go of their sizzling chemistry, and he doesn’t understand the meaning of no. As things start to heat up between them, the body count starts to rise, and they’re led on a wild goose chase from backwoods mountain Nudist Colonies to altercations with the Dixie Mafia. Can Olivia and Catcher survive to solve the murder while also not succumbing to their explosive passion?

Katie, were you reading my diary???  

Just kidding...

I totally can relate to the some of the allergies mentioned in this book.

I had flashbacks...and then...

It is not a fun thing to admit but shoot, it's a serious thing that happens and I literally GASPED so loud then laughed my butt off at what happened to poor Olivia.  She is a fun character to read about.  One thing after another keeps happening to her and I loved how quirky, fun loving, and hilarious she was.

Now Catcher:  name is fitting for this hot investigator that Olivia can't stop thinking of.  Their chemistry was hot & I loved it.

The storyline was great, loved the mystery behind who was the murderer and felt this book kept me intrigued to try to figure out whether Olivia would ever "catch" a break in finding a herself with Catcher.

Get this book for a fun, sexy mystery that will have you snort laughing like a crazy person.

Go 1 click!  It's a must read!

REVIEW: Felony Ever After by 13 Amazing Authors

Yes!! This is one anthology you don't want to miss reading!
BUY LINKS:





Summary:

13 Authors, ONE story . . . 

Verity Michaels is new to New York City, but even she knows riding in a stolen a cab is not a normal way to meet someone. Damn it if that tattoo-covered would-be felon isn’t everywhere now, and lighting everything on fire under her skirt.

His name is Hudson Fenn, and he’s frustratingly impossible to pin down. He works as a bike messenger, but has the manners of a prince—along with a strange tendency toward breaking and entering. As much as Verity knows he’s not her type, and likely to land her in jail, she can’t help but find her truest self when they’re together.
Can she be brave enough to give Hudson a real chance? Will he be bold enough to reveal the man beneath the ink, or will his secrecy doom their connection? Also, WTF is the deal with Verity’s boss? No less than thirteen of your favorite romance writers have teamed up to tell this sexy, wacky, snort-inducing tale. With them you’ll visit the world’s most irritating office, a VIP room of questionable cleanliness, and the fanciest apartment a bike messenger has ever inhabited, but you’ll still never see this ending coming.

Check out the Trailer:





And this is how an anthology by 13 amazing authors is done!

Verity & Hudson are on my fav Top Book Couples of 2016!

I laughed so hard by all the funny tweets & situations these two got into!

If Hudson appeared the way he did to Me the way he did to Verity, I would not stop thinking about him either!  He is one hot guy who I loved finding out the mystery behind him which shocked the heck out of me.  It's true you can't judge a person by their appearance. 😉

Verity is a girl after my own heart.  She has spunk & I loved how Hudson brought it out in her even more.  That mouth of hers had me LOL sooo much with her one liners! 

There were so many great scenes in this book that had me smiling and totally wanting to have moments like the characters did.

I even wished I was playing some Operation...


with Hudson!

And talk about all these authors making some hot scenes that had me suddenly..

This story is based in my hometown NYC & I could totally appreciate & picture  all the spots that Hudson & Verity were at. 


Every authors style came out on the pages and I loved reading them all together.


This collaboration is one you don't want to miss reading!

It's a Must Top Read in my 2016 recommend list.

Make sure to check out all these authors out on their Facebook Pages and go grab all their books!
