Play by the Rules… 

What do you get when you mix a dive bar, a worn velvet couch, and a discussion about goats? 

The night I met Owen, obviously. 

Talk about the unexpected. I sought out my private nook in Wicked Chucks, looking for a good view of the band. Instead, I got a front-row seat to the most delicious man I’ve ever seen. 

He’s everything I never knew existed but being with him means breaking my own rules. 

I didn’t invent the rules, but I play by them. 

Rules maintain order. 
Rules keep me focused. 
Okay, rules suck, but they also keep me safe. 

Now, I have a man who wants to toss out my rule book and create a new one. Together. 


Some Rules are Meant to be Broken… 

What do you get when you combine a tiny woman with a mile-wide stubborn streak, unwavering dating rules, and a hard-hitting passion? 

My current situation. 

I went to Wicked Chucks for the music, but I met Tally instead, right after she crashed through the balcony door and into my arms. 

The first thing I realized? She’s a total klutz. The second? I was staring into the face of the woman I’d been eyeing all night, and she was even more beautiful up close. But when she started discussing blood oaths and goats, her coolness factor skyrocketed. 

No joke, this woman is made for me. She’s gorgeous, funny, and sexy without trying. 

Only one small problem—she has rules. Two of them are cake. The last one? That might be a problem.

EXCERPT

“I’m so sorry.” 
“It’s okay.” 
“It’s not.” 
I nod—at least we agree on something. “It’s not, but it is you who missed out on mind blowing sex.” 
His jaw slackens. “You’re joking.” 
I shrug, keeping my gaze on the computer screen. “Guess you’ll never know.” 
“How about I make it up to you? Twice as long, twice as good?” 
“Nah. One and done. Sorry.” 
His fingers tap the desk. Apparently being turned down for sex is not something he’s used to in his life. “We’ll see about that.” 
I peer at him over the top of my glasses, sending him a scowl. “Check your ego, Dr. Stevens. You’re not that irresistible.” 
His hand snakes across the desk, clasping mine. “No, I’m not. You are. I told you, you’re the purest heroin.” 
“Could we find another analogy? I hate being compared to something that destroys lives.” 
Owen chuckles, lifting my fingers to his lips. “How about this, then? You’re every dream I never knew I had. I didn’t believe in soulmates until I met you. You’re it for me, Tally.” 
God, I hate him. I hate when he says things so profound and moving, and he looks so damn earnest and yet manages to smash my heart into bits on the ground. I pull my hand back, massaging the palm with my thumb. “Only one problem with that, Owen. I don’t believe you anymore.” 
“Then I’ll prove it to you.” 
I laugh, not because it’s funny but because it’s such a well-worn line. “Sure, you will.” 
“Will you give me a chance?” 
“Owen, I’ve given you nothing but chances.”

She adores dressing up and kicking back, a glass of whiskey with an equally stunning view, and experiences that make the soul—and senses—tingle.

COVER REVEAL: Piece by Piece by Kaylee Ryan




Title: Piece by Piece
Series: Riggins Brothers #2
Author: Kaylee Ryan
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Cover Design: Lori Jackson Designs
Release Date: November 12, 2020


BLURB

Layla 

Owen Riggins is too good to be true... the best things in life usually are. He’s good looking, generous, and interested in me. Too bad someone like him and someone like me aren’t meant to be together. 

He’s used to the best things in life, and I’ve grown up with the worst. Building a better life means working hard and staying on track, not falling for some sexy suit with a brooding stare who is just passing through. 

Life has taught me not to trust, and even though I want him more than anything, I don’t need his charity or his love... 

Owen 

When a friend sends me to Florida to scout out a hotel, it’s the gorgeous waitress with the shy smile and the worn-out shoes I can’t take my eyes off of. 

Layla Massey is quiet, beautiful, and in need of a little help— even if she won’t admit it. A generous tip was meant to buy her some suitable shoes, not buy her love. I want to earn that all on my own. 

I’m used to women throwing themselves at me, the name, the money... but she wants neither. It makes me want her all the more. 

Little by little, she opens up and piece by piece, she’s taking my heart.

RELEASE BOOST: The Golden Boys by Rachel Jonas & Nikki Thorne




Title: The Golden Boys
Series: Kings of Cypress Prep #1
Authors: Rachel Jonas & Nikki Thorne

Genre: New Adult Bully Romance
Release Date: October 16, 2020


BLURB

West Golden—easy to hate, yet so hard to resist. 

Don’t let that pretty face of his fool you. He isn’t the boy next door, or the kind you trust with your heart. He’s the devil in designer jeans, with all the charm of a bona fide psycho. 

Trust me. 

He swears I did something to cross him before I even stepped foot inside Cypress Prep, but it’s a lie. No one knows better than me that I’m all out of chances. One more misstep and I can kiss my future goodbye, which means I can’t possibly be guilty of whatever he thinks I’ve done. 

West marks me with a target anyway, and as this town’s football star, no one dares to go against him. His money, status, and the loyalty of his equally entitled brothers makes him seem untouchable. Only, I know better than that. 

This false god isn’t infallible like he wants the world to believe. Whenever I stare into those devilish green eyes, I see it plain as day. The chink in his armor. His one and only weakness. 

Me. 

The King of Cypress Prep has finally met his match and taking him down just became an inside job.

BOOK BLITZ: Monogamy Book One: Lover by Victoria Sobolev




Title: Monogamy Book One: Lover
Series: Monogamy #1
Author: Victoria Sobolev
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 3, 2020


BLURB

What starts as an affair and a new experience turns out to be a monogamous lifetime saga. The two fight with borders, morals, infidelity issues, cancer, dark secrets and win 

People think that Alex was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, not only rich, but blessed by luck. Men respect him, women dream of him, and Alex alone knows the strength it takes to conceal his tortured soul and devastating secrets. 

But despite those powerful life lessons, he has always believed in his father’s words, ‘When you fall in love, you love forever - it’s in our family blood. Look for HER and you’ll find your happiness beyond thought…’ 

Valeria has never experienced actual romance (an early pregnancy, a hasty marriage, a life filled with work and study) and considers herself a pragmatist. She was taught to live by the rules: if you get married, then you love your husband; if you dream of a new home, then you work hard. But when, against all logic, she finds a beautiful stranger in her bed, her world turns upside down. After all, falling for the forbidden can be too sweet not to try… at least once. 

They come from the opposite ends of the globe, but the collision of two soulmates is destined. Fate will send them on a lifelong journey from Eastern Europe to Spain, France, the United States, and back. 

Their story is a mix of a beautiful fairy tale and a painful nightmare. It`s not something you`ve heard before: everything is too vivid, too honest, too emotional and too profound. 

An attraction at first sight; 
A passion that breaks all rules; 
A hypnotic melody – it conquers all. 
This is one love for life and beyond time, 
This is MONOGAMY...

RELEASE BLITZ: Ghosted by Kat Addams




Title: Ghosted
Author: Kat Addams

Genre: Paranormal Romantic Comedy
Release Date: October 23, 2020


BLURB

Rub one out with this genie, and you’re guaranteed to get more than three wishes. 

As a workaholic writer, I’m used to chasing down the latest story. As a single lady, I’m also used to pursuing that perfect O, all by my lonesome. 

But this time, the story is a ghost hunt … literally.

My hometown of Morningwood has been experiencing supernatural activity lately, and I’m headed home to investigate the ridiculous rumors. 

I don’t believe in ghosts. At least, I didn’t until a sexy, comedic genie named Dylan popped out of a big blue dildo and right into my bed. I’m certain this is a postorgasmic haze, or maybe I’m dreaming. But this ghostly guy can ride my magic carpet anytime. 

Dylan has lost his ability to grant wishes, thanks to a spell from my witchy great-aunt Karen, but he’s never lost his magic touch. 

Talk about horny and hexed! 

The only way to break his curse is to find the matching toy to his “lamp,” hidden in a town I’m now convinced might be haunted. 

From boogeymen to butt plugs, our hilarious adventure is nothing short of epic!

That’s some other romance author. The poor thing probably has to sneak away upstairs to write her dirty stories! What would her family think? Thankfully, that’s not Kat!

Now he’s proposing the one thing I’m not sure I can pull off.

Teagan Larson is feisty and fearless. She’s also my new assistant.

Pretending has never felt more real.
Reality has never been more complicated.

BLOG TOUR: Tainted Love by Jaimie Roberts


Title: Tainted Love 
Author: Jaimie Roberts
Genre: Dark Romance/Taboo 


Add on Goodreads

COVER 




BLURB 


At one time you were my reason to breathe,

So immersed in our love, I’m forbidden to leave.

What was once so innocent, we infected with lies,

Sucked deep into the darkness, I can no longer rise.

Troubled souls we are, but I cannot break away,

So loyal to you, I choose to stay.

But I’m harbouring a secret that will tear us apart,

My feelings so strong, I keep following my heart.

One day my betrayal will be revealed,

And that day grows closer with each lie concealed.

I know you will kill whoever gets in your way,

And for that reason alone, I should never stay.

My body is yours, but it will never be enough,

Forever trapped I am in our tainted love.


Warning: This book is filled with triggers. However, if that little imp inside you still wants to read it, then 1-click that bitch, put your feet up with a glass of wine (cos you're going to need at least one), and enjoy this helluva ride!
