COVER REVEAL - Heroes & Gods by Aly Zigada




Title: Heroes & Gods
Author: Aly Zigada
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 12, 2020



Blurb

I was raised on fairy tales.
But no one warned me that a princess could fall for the villain of her story.
My heart beat for a hockey hero who was not mine. My soul burned for his rival—a god of infamy who shattered my morality and exploited my dirtiest desires.
Two athletes who made war on ice had the power to ravage my career, shred my reputation, and twist my reality. Yet I risked it all for the kind of love that's forbidden in tales and banished from myths.
My love was reckless and true.
My love was equal parts good and evil.
My love was promised to a hero...but stolen by a god.

REVIEW
4 Stars
This is the conclusion of Gigi and Pike's story. It picks up where Book #1 left off. This book gives us answers we were looking for from the first book. It takes us on a roller coaster ride of emotions. It is an intense, action packed, and emotional ride with Gigi, Pike, the Gallos, a few characters from the previous books, as well as some new characters.

Chelle Bliss does a wonderful job of weaving a tale that kept me entertained from start to finish. Gigi and Pike's chemistry is as hot as ever. I loved their love story! I loved Gigi's sass and her attitude. She didn't take any crap from anyone. I loved Pike's possessiveness, his loyalty, and his kindness. There were wonderful characters in the story. We are introduced to Austin, Pike's brother and Crow. I can't wait to see what happens next with the Gallos!!! I highly recommend reading it!

RELEASE BLITZ: Waking Up Married by Lisa Suzanne




Title: Waking Up Married
Author: Lisa Suzanne
Genre: Rock Star Romantic Comedy
Release Date: December 13, 2019



Blurb

I’ve never seen Emily Clarke as anything more than my little sister’s best friend.

One drunken mistake later, she’s my wife.

My first thought is how to get out of this, except our wedding video has gone viral and record sales are skyrocketing. My manager thinks following the newlyweds on the second season of my band’s reality show will keep up the momentum.

I just have to get Emily to agree to faking this marriage for six months, and then we can quietly divorce.

Right?

Wrong.

Nothing is quite that simple when feelings blur the line between a contract and reality.

I ended up with more than just a hangover when I found myself waking up married.

Release Date: January 16, 2020



Blurb

Alexandra
Like an absolving rain, he came into my life when I needed him most.
I was at the end of my rope, looking for an escape.
I found it.
He is everything.
We are everything.
Our love is everything.
Together, we'll fight to protect what is ours.
Reconcile what was stolen from us.
And protect everything we have to gain.


Julian
She came into my life, proving to me the things some people strive for are inconsequential.
Notoriety is nothing.
Fame is nothing.
Money is nothing.
In the grand scheme, those things are futile.
I once thought love was nothing because it was ripped from me, leaving me bent and broken.
Our love is everything
I won't let anything take that…or her away.

Life is a series of threads pulled tight. Are the good ones enough to write our future in stone or will the bad ones rock our foundation?

When Rose gets herself in over her head, agreeing to her offer may be the only way to save her.
