THOMAS 
Not too long ago my future was all mapped out. 
Then two brutal swings of a steel bat wielded by a maniac wrecked my world. 
The adrenaline high I used to get from pitching a perfect game is gone. 
The major league dreams I counted on have vanished. 
And the peace of mind I took for granted is shattered. 
The thrills I seek out now are self-destructive. 
I know this and I can’t stop. 
What I didn’t expect is for my downward spiral to be interrupted by a shy beauty with a messy past. 
Gracie and I very different. 
And yet we’re tragically alike. 
I can prove to her that we’re supposed to be together. 
All she has to do is give me the chance. 
And all I have to do is remember how to be the guy she thinks I am. 

GRACIE 
I’ve learned the hard way that one reckless mistake can topple your house of cards. 
And I thought I was finished taking chances. 
But Thomas Gentry made it clear he was on a mission to break my armor and guys like Thomas didn’t come along every day. 
He was as charming as he was headstrong, as sexy as he was protective. 
He put all the book heroes I’ve ever drooled over to shame. 
Falling for Thomas was inevitable. 
And I was his before I understood something important. 
We both need to find a way to heal ourselves. 
Otherwise we might ruin each other forever...

Excerpt

I searched for a way to explain the schism that was me. 
The old Gracie and this Gracie. 
“Thomas, there’s a wall that cuts right through my life. It’s like I was one person before Track and a different person after. I’m not explaining well so I know that probably doesn’t make any sense.” 
He held up our joined hands. His was the right hand, his scarred hand. 
“It makes complete sense.” There was a sad sympathy in his words. Our paths hadn’t been the same at all but he understood. Before his attack he’d been the all star athlete, leader of a charmed life, destined for greatness. He’d left college, abandoned his training. He was still trying to figure out where he stood, and where to go from here. We were different, but alike in an important way. 
Transferring over into his lap felt like the most natural move in the world. He pulled me right in and when our mouths met this kiss was unlike the other ones we’d shared so far. The connection was sweeter, more familiar. We had not known each other long but we were not strangers. I liked him so much already. More than I should. 
And the physical attraction between us was ferocious. When he touched me I felt like I’d been lit on fire. Like I’d been awakened. 
We kissed and teased and it didn’t take long to escalate. I tugged his shirt up, reveling in the feel of his hard muscles beneath my palms. His hands went beneath my shirt, all the way up my back, and he groaned when he found only bare skin. We were both being aggressive, both of us trying to push the limits. He wanted me to move, to shift into a straddle, and I could feel him, hard and insistent, trying to reach me through slight layers of summer fabric. The elastic band in my hair was freed and Thomas sucked my neck hard, making me whimper and hope that he’d do more, take more. 
Which he did. 
He slipped his hands down the back of my shorts, into my panties. We moved together in torturous rhythm, grinding, teasing, mimicking the act we really wanted and couldn’t have yet. 
I stifled a gasp and buried my face in his warm neck. “I want to do this.” My hips bucked and I rode him through our clothes. The need to seek relief was almost unbearable. “I really want to, Thomas. But we probably shouldn’t.” 
“I know. We shouldn’t do this yet.” He groaned and arched one last time and I was nearly at the precipice, could almost feel how it would be to have him inside of me. 
Mind blowing. Shattering. Fucking magnificent. 
Thomas withdrew his hands from my shorts and braced them on my hips, holding me away just a little, just far enough so we could catch our breath and let the temptation ease for now….

Release Blitz: Raiden by A.M. Hargrove

 




Title: Raiden
Series: Kent Brothers #2
Author: A.M. Hargrove
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 24, 2020



BLURB

Raiden Kent. Wealthy. Possessive. Commanding. 

To say his intense reaction to Scottie Sullivan barging into his life shocked him was an understatement. 

Shrewd, savvy, confident, the former DEA agent ran circles around him in cyber security, his specialty. 

Her curves and beauty made focusing on business absurd. 

Raiden couldn’t predict Scottie would be his guardian angel in disguise, or how badly he needed her protection. 

The day she saved his life made that clear. 

Now he had to choose if having Scottie by his side was worth the angst she created. 

Could he handle the constant threats hanging over her head each time she strode out the door? 

Would her insistence on playing hero be their destruction? 

Raiden recognized one thing. 

A strong, independent woman like Scottie would never be dictated to. 

He had a choice to make that would change everything.

Release Day and Review Blitz: Breaking South by Alyson Santos

 


BREAKING SOUTH by Alyson Santos

Release Date: September 23rd



 

Turner Artist Management Urgent Action Item:

 

✔ Rescue pop princess Genevieve Fox from herself.

 

When your biggest client loses all faith in her identity, you jump on the problem. When it threatens her iconic career, you drop the details and dig to the heart of the crisis.

 

So I did—investigate. But what I found was a controversial connection with an injured hockey player that could blow up two industries, not to mention her life. With the entire world watching, is this captivating athlete the cause of her sudden self-doubt? Or is he the only one who can save her from herself?

 

See, I’m just the manager. The story that follows actually belongs to my client Genevieve Fox and the fearless goalie who refuses to back away from a fight.

 

Because now that skeptics on both sides have bared their teeth, everyone’s desperate to know:

 

Who is OLIVER LEVESQUE??

Series Links:

Book 1 Rising West ➤ http://mybook.to/RisingWest

Book 2 - Falling North ➤ http://mybook.to/FallingNorth



 My Thoughts:


Where do I begin with this book? I mean, it's kind of hard to describe all the goodness that is this book without giving any of it away and since I'm not the type who likes to give spoilers... well, you get the idea. But let's just say this - there is so much goodness in this book and if you like books about rockstars and angsty heroes - added bonus, this hero is a sports star - this one is for you. It is the newest installment in the author's Turner Artist series and it is just as good as its predecessors. So, if you've read the others in the series, you won't be disappointed, but if you haven't, why not? This author really knows how to write a rocker, but more than that, she really gets you into the music itself, especially in this one - I felt like I was right there with Genevieve creating lyrical masterpieces. But I was also right there with Oliver, feeling his pain as he recovered from a debilitating injury that puts his career as an elite goalie on the line. And their love story? It's a delicious slow burn that is so worth the angst you have to suffer as it unfolds. Such a good book - can't wait for the next one!

Amazon | Apple Books

Kobo | Nook

USA Today Bestselling author Claudia Burgoa brings you a fresh romantic comedy filled with an unexpected surprise, a wicked billionaire, and plenty of laughs.

The right life is the one you never see coming.

I had it all. The luxury apartment, hot dates, and the big office to go with long nights at work. Life was perfect. But after a one-night stand, two little lines on a pregnancy test, and three lost legal cases later… Well, overnight I went from career lawyer to single mom.

It’s okay, I can do it. I’m ready to face this alone until…

Along comes Nathaniel Chadwick. Billionaire adrenaline junky. Everyone’s favorite playboy… and my sister’s brother-in-law. He’s as hot as he is jaded. When it comes to relationships and family, he’d rather jump off a cliff. I wrote him off long ago, except since he learned about the baby he’s been by my side.

Is it pregnancy hormones or is there something real happening between us? I didn’t expect any of this...most of all him.

***

Didn’t Expect You is a billionaire romance of unexpected pregnancies, exciting encounters, and flirty love. It includes a very confused dog, a precious newborn, and a family you might want to belong to. This chick-lit novel is a romantic comedy with a HEA guaranteed!

PROMO: Kane by Sawyer Bennett

Kane (Arizona Vengeance, Book #8) Sawyer Bennett Release Date: September 15, 2020

Synopsis: 

  

Are you ready for Kane Bellan’s story?

I have a problem.

Potential problem?

I’m not really sure. Here’s the deal.

There’s this girl—isn’t that how it always starts?—and her name is Mollie. I like her. I mean really like her. I hope that doesn’t make me seem less manly than my professional hockey player persona implies. But here’s the issue—she’s my best friend. The one person I can count on for everything, who’s been there with me for all the moments, big and small.

When Mollie shows up at my door, travel weary and scared following an incident with an ex, my instinct to protect her goes into overdrive. It’s then that I know she’s more than just my best friend and the skates are swept out from under me when I find out she feels the same way.

Our transition from friends to lovers to potentially something more is seamless, the Arizona Vengeance is back on the ice looking for a repeat championship, and my life has never been better. Just when I think I’ve got it all figured out, the realities of us both having careers which keep us on the road put our blossoming relationship on ice.

It feels like the game just went into overtime and I’m on the verge of either the biggest win or most disappointing loss of my life. And losing is never an option.
