Excerpt Reveal: ONE BLISSFUL NIGHT by A.M. Hargrove

 
ONE BLISSFUL NIGHT (West Sisters #3) by A.M. Hargrove 
Release Date: January 6th
 
 
 
Blurb: 

“Promise you won’t break my heart, Brax.”
He promised. I believed. Brax Kent was a liar. He shattered every possible piece of me.
Several years passed before I got through an entire day without shedding a tear. My existence was hollow, empty, bleak. Hate was the only thing that pushed me through the day.
Seven years later, who turns up to be my next door neighbor? The man I despise with every ounce of my being.
And now he wants me back. With flowery words and sworn oaths full of apologies, he begs. Can this man who ruined me be trusted? Only his obstinance, persistence, and beautiful face weaken my resolve.
And I stupidly expose my heart as he wedges himself inside, bit by bit. Surrendering completely may mean absolute love, or absolute destruction.
The choice is mine. Cross the line in the sand, or stay in my safe zone.
*One Blissful Night is a complete stand alone, enemies to lovers, contemporary romance, with no cliffhanger.


   


Excerpt: 

Once upon a time there was this prince. He was a fairly decent guy, but then one day he drank some pretty nasty poison. It didn’t kill him but made him do stupid things. The kind of things that smart princes would never do. And when the poison wore off, he discovered he’d ruined the only thing that had meant anything to him. But instead of trying to fix it, he was afraid. Afraid that what he’d done wasn’t fixable. So he spent the next seven years of his life regretting he ever drank what was in the cup. Then one day, he had a chance to make amends, but he really didn’t know how. He looked into his crystal ball and couldn’t find the answer. The only thing he saw was the face of the beautiful woman whose heart he’d broken. He decided to ask her how he could make it up to her, because he figured that was the only way he’d ever know if he’d ever have a chance of making things right again.”
“What did she say?”
“She hasn’t answered him yet.”
“Maybe she’s afraid.”
“What if he is too?”
She was looking my way, but her sunglasses blocked her eyes. It was difficult to get a read on her.
“Perhaps she has more to lose than he does.”
“Debatable. Seems they’ve both lost too much already.”
It was painful being this close and not able to touch her, even her hand. So I stood and said, “I’m going inside. I think I’m getting a bit sunburned myself. Enjoy the rest of your day, Ren.”
I folded my chair and went home. When I got into the house, I watched her for a minute. She turned to see if I was still outside, which I wasn’t. She went back to sitting there, but a few minutes later, she packed up and went home, leaving Sutton alone on the beach. I wondered if she was as lonely as me. But then I remembered she had that assface Parker to keep her warm at night.

Cover Reveal: The Cruelest Stranger by Winter Renshaw


The first time I saw him was at a bar called Ophelia’s on a misty Thursday night. I was there to drown my sorrows after a trying day, he was there to escape the storm. After a brief yet incredibly cruel exchange, the handsome stranger bolted before I had a chance to tell him off. Incensed and three cocktails deep, I followed him out the door, determined to give the audacious Adonis a piece of my mind. 




Tearing after him in heels and barely able to keep up in the freezing rain, I ended my chase when I realized where he was going.




They say never to judge someone unless you know their story. 




I never could have anticipated his...




And I never could have anticipated the way our paths would cross again—or that I would one day find myself falling for a man with a hollow cavity where his heart should be, a man as callous as he was beautiful, as complicated as he was mesmeric. 




They say never to judge someone unless you know their story.




This one’s ours.











Wall Street Journal and #1 Amazon bestselling author Winter Renshaw is a bona fide daydream believer. She lives somewhere in the middle of the USA and can rarely be seen without her trusty Mead notebook and ultra portable laptop. When she’s not writing, she’s living the American dream with her husband, three kids, and the laziest puggle this side of the Mississippi.

Release Blitz and Giveaway ($50 Amazon gift card): Syler McKnight by Cora Brent




Title: Syler McKnight
An Enemies to Lovers Holiday Tale
Author: Cora Brent
Genre: Contemporary Romantic Comedy
Release Date: December 19, 2019



Blurb

Maybe there’s one of us in every family.  
The guy who scorns all the rules.  
The guy who shuns expectations.  
The guy most commonly known as the ultimate villain in a cultish self help movement.
On the other hand, perhaps we’re not as common as I thought.  
But so what if I’m never anyone’s hero? 
At least I’m a good brother. That is the one thing I manage to get right.  So when my big sister is abandoned by her prick of a husband, leaving her and her four kids alone a week before Christmas, I don’t hesitate to head home.  
To my surprise, I’m not the only one who shows up.  
Katrina has always been my sister’s best friend.  She’s headstrong and hot. She’s neurotic and sexy.  She belts out old power ballads with horrible, tuneless abandon and her hair always smells like vanilla cookie batter. 
We have a long history of being at odds and she’s never appreciated my natural talent for getting under her skin.  
And then there was the time when we accidentally got naked together…
There might have been some post-wedding horniness involved.  
Combined with antique furniture abuse.  
Along with a creative application of lemon buttercream. 
It’s kind of a forbidden topic.  
Now, nearly a decade later, it’s possible I’m still using that memory to get off once or twice or twelve times a month.     
Katrina never knew that back in the day she was the one girl who really got to me.  
In the spirit of the holidays I’ve decided it’s time to settle the score.   
She already thinks I’m not one of the good guys.  
She also realizes I’ve got something she wants for Christmas.  
All she has to do is swallow her high maintenance pride and ask nicely.  
I can guarantee she’ll get more than she ever bargained for...  
  
*SYLER MCKNIGHT is a complete stand alone with:
·       Small town quirkiness
·       Enemies to Lovers (with majorly hot hate sex)
·       A sarcastic flannel-shirt-wearing anti-hero

Release Blitz: Humbugged by Pippa Grant & Lili Valente




Title: Humbugged
Authors: Pippa Grant & Lili Valente
Genre: Romantic Comedy
 Release Date: December 10, 2019



Blurb

He’s the world’s most alpha Marine and the last man I should be letting jingle my bells this holiday season. 

So why does Clint O’Dell keep running through my thoughts wearing nothing but a Santa hat? And why do I stupidly agree that we should be Christmas friends with benefits?

Someone must have spiked my eggnog.

I don’t do Marines.

Or Santas.

I learned my lesson about both the hard way.

But when Clint steps in to rescue me—from a murderous goose, a rogue reindeer, and the ghost of Christmas Right Now causing trouble in my bakery—I can’t help but wonder if we’re meant to be more than friends.

If maybe Clint is the holiday miracle I’ve been praying for…or if all the magic will disappear with the season.

Humbugged is a laugh out loud holiday romp featuring a Marine with a heart of gold and a baker in need of a hero. Complete with the world's most awkward Christmas caroling, a photoshoot with furry friends, and more naughty baked goods than is good or decent.

UPDATE to Include Review: Cover Reveal: Manhattan by Kandi Steiner

Manhattan - CR banner.jpg


Manhattan, a standalone in the Becker Brothers series is a small town, country, friends-to-lovers romance coming on December 19th. The fire... the guitar... THE FEELS!


Copy of Manhattan Wrap.png


Everyone knows not to fall in love with your best friend.
But when your best friend is Michael Becker, it’s impossible not to.
He’s everything our town knows a Becker brother to be: devastatingly handsome, charming as a thief, and the icing on the cake — a sentimental musician who’s never without his guitar.
And he was mine. At least, that’s what I’d convinced myself.
Our bond was born in elementary school, strengthened by circumstance and the promise to always be there for each other, no matter what. And the best thing about my life was being friends with Michael Becker.
Until it was the worst.
I watched him fall in love with someone else, and helped patch him back up when she left him behind. But when he drops the bomb that he’s moving to New York, I realize it’s my last chance to tell him how I feel. And I ask him to make one more promise.
One summer. One list of adventures to remind him that our small town has more to offer than memories of the girl who left him behind.
One last chance to tell him I’m in love with him.
And I’m just dumb enough to believe that maybe he could love me, too.

My Thoughts:

If you like books with plenty of drama and teenage angst, look no further than Manhattan because Kandi Steiner delivers. And what's more angsty than unrequited teenage love? That's where Kylie finds herself in the beginning of the book. She is head over heels for her best friend, Michael - and he doesn't have a clue. No, while she pined for him, he fell in love with someone else and she had to literally stand by and watch it happen. But when that girl left Michael to chase her own dreams in Nashville, it was Kylie who picked up the pieces and showed Michael that there was life after Bailey and another chance at love for him. It's kind of a slow-burn situation and there were many times I just wanted to grab him and give him a good shake and scream, "Can't you see she loves you?" But there were also times when I wanted to do the same to Kylie, screaming, "Just tell him already!" The back and forth got frustrating after a while, but I promise, in the end, it's worth it.


About Kandi:
Kandi Steiner is a bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing “emotional rollercoaster” stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance — in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you’re a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she’s your gal.
An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women’s Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.” She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a diehard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.
When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, talking with her extremely vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys live music, traveling, anything heavy in carbs, beach days, movie marathons, craft beer and sweet wine — not necessarily in that order.
