Until a new kid enters the Club Tahoe children's program and reminds Hunt what it was like to grow up without a father. Not to mention, the effect the kid’s mother Abby has on him.

Reforming Hunt (Cade Brothers #4) by Jules Barnard
Review by Theresa Esterline 
Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I volunteer!

Loved this marriage of convenience story!  Though who would ever think being married to a Cade would be a hardship.  They are loving, caring, sexy, and have quite a few dollars saved up!  But poor Hunt has never thought himself worthy.  Wonder if Noah and Abby can change his mind!

Tempting Levi (Cade Brothers #1) by Jules Barnard
Review by Theresa Esterline 
Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Temptation will overcome!!

Spin off from the Men of Lake Tahoe series! In the last Tahoe book we met Adam Cade. Now we are about to meet the remaining four hot brothers to come in this series with love, passion, suspense, frustration, and happiness!! And now a bit about the story...

Levi has been put in a tough spot. A blow to the head took his dream job away. Now he's lost his absent father only to be asked to fill his shoes. What does he know about running a resort? Luckily his father planned ahead for that. He hired a Harvard grad to assist Levi. Problem after problem those two can't seem to stay apart... but dating the boss isn't all bad, right?

Favorite passages:
- Though he had touched her bared skin—purely to get her attention. Had nothing to do with being drawn to her beauty like a bug to the neon light that would be its death.
- Yeah, that wasn’t gonna work. He couldn’t date Emily. She was Lisa’s sister, for God’s sake. And his assistant. And he needed her at the club more than he needed her in his bed. He wanted her in his bed, but he wasn’t impulsive like his younger brothers.

Daring Wes (Cade Brothers #2) by Jules Barnard
Review by Theresa Esterline 
Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐


His biggest challenge ...


Another Lake Tahoe hit!! The Cade brothers are back again and another is likely to fall. But will he fall for real or head first into the water hazard?? Funny, frustrating, hot -- I mean there is a Magic Mike style dance for Pete's sake -- and another adventure at the resort. And now a bit about the story...

Wes and Kaylee were in love one upon a time, back in college, but then she left him, his golf game went to crap, he didn't make the pro tour and he was stuck working as the golf pro at Daddy's resort. Now he has accepted his new normal, that is until Kaylee walks into his pro shop announcing she is there to marry someone else. The sparks are flying, but she isn't single and there is lots of pain on both sides. I'm betting him may go for a swim in a water hazard for sure!!

Favorite passages:
- Wes gave her a blank stare. “Emily, don’t use convoluted female logic on me right now.”
- Not that he’d admit that to a single living soul, but he wasn’t such a caveman that he couldn’t admit it to himself. Okay, it had taken him years to admit it, but he’d gotten there eventually. Cavemen could evolve.
- And that was a big if. But none of that mattered at the moment. Suddenly his lower half seemed the smarter of the two brains, and it was in full control.

Seducing Bran (Cade Brothers #3) by Jules Barnard
Review by Theresa Esterline 
Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Love, Hate, Control and Chaos...

In this next installment of the Cade brothers, Bran - the so called "monk" of the family finally meets his match.  There is frustration, anger, betrayal, humor, love, control, hate, and chaos as the two strong tempered leads battle their attraction for the other.  And now a bit about the story...

Ireland has had enough male superiority and harassment at work to last her three lifetimes.  She is a good programmer, but has left the west coast in search of a good company to work for.  This lands her in Tahoe with her cousin Cali, who introduces her around and gets her a job a Blue.  But the crew from Blue Casino and Club Tahoe are all great friends so it isn't long before Ireland and Bran are in each other's path.  Each time they end up alone their lips gravitate to the others, so much for keeping in control and staying away.  What will be the final straw, when Ireland moonlights for Bran, when they go on their first date....

Favorite passage: "You're mistaking my normal disposition for me caring about you."

Synopsis:

She has a broken heart and revenge on her mind... Last year Karrie was riding high. She had a boyfriend she loved, a softball scholarship, and the best roommate a girl could have. When it turned out her man was a lying, cheating ballsack, she may have gone off the rails a bit. Now, it's a new year and Karrie's ready to build herself back up and move on to bigger and better things. Still, a little revenge would go a long way in helping the healing process. He's got a plan for revenge that will suit them both... Ridge is used to being the BMOC. Sergeant of Arms of his frat and the ability to land any chick within snapping distance has made life pretty easy for him. His home life is another story. He and his brothers are in the middle of a battle between his socialite mother and asshole father. Ridge is looking for a stand-in to placate his mother and her matchmaking ways, and he has a feeling he's just met the girl he can perfectly mold. This makeover has nothing to do with love and everything to do with Karrie and Ridge using each other to get what they want. What starts as a ruse soon becomes an attraction they cannot deny. When it's all said and done, they'll both have more to confess than a need for revenge.

Well Suited (Red Lipstick Coalition #4) by Staci Hart *~*~*~*~* Blog Tour & Review

BT banner.jpg


Well Suited, the final standalone in the Red Lipstick Coalition Series from Staci Hart, is available now!


well-suited-illustrated-sm (1).jpg


Chemistry is my love language.
I’ve always been able to separate feelings from chemosignals. A shot of dopamine, a dash of serotonin, and a sprinkle of oxytocin—and bam. You’re in love.
And when egg meets sperm, you’re pregnant.
I couldn’t even be surprised as I stared down at the little blue plus sign, because I knew exactly when and how, and with whom it happened.
When: approximately five weeks ago. Who: one night stand. How: prophylactic malfunction.
The upside? I don’t have to go looking for a suitable mate.
Genetically, he’s the cream of the crop. His musculature is a study in symmetry and strength, his height imposing and dominant. He is a man who thrives on control and command, a man who survives on intelligence and resourcefulness. A perfect male specimen.
And the whole package is wrapped up in a flawlessly tailored suit.
I’m having this baby, and he insists we’re well-suited to have it together. And what’s worse? He wants more, in the way of love and marriage.
But love isn’t real. It’s just a product of chemistry.
And if he changes my mind about that, we’re both in trouble.

Well Suited (Red Lipstick Coalition - RLC - #4) by Staci Hart
Review by Theresa Esterline 
Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The perfect solution!

What happens when a control freak and a charming GQ hottie cross?  This rom com with lots of twists will entertain you to no end!  The last of the Red Lipstick Coalition ladies has met her match!  And now a bit about the story...

A few weeks after a hot one night stand Katherine comes to the scary conclusion that she is pregnant.  Being the ever so logical person she is, she heads over to Theodore's place to let him know.  Now the two come up with a plan, devoid of those pesky emotions - since they can't be controlled!  Only problem is, neither can seem to ignore the pull... 

Favorite passages:
 - “Some people say I have control issues,”
 - “Playground rules. Boys who pull your pigtails like you.”  “Boys who pull my pigtails get black eyes.”
 - I’d tried to box up a tiger in cardboard, and it’d shredded the box the second it had the chance.

About the Author

AuthorPics.jpgStaci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life -- a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can't forget that. She's also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She's been a wife, though she's certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She's also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she's been drinking whiskey.
From roots in Houston to a seven year stint in Southern California, Staci and her family ended up settling somewhere in between and equally north, in Denver. They are new enough that snow is still magical. When she's not writing, she's reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.

Downfall by Jay Crownover *~*~*~*~* Blog Tour & Review

 

From New York Times bestselling author Jay Crownover comes DOWNFALL, a sexy, standalone contemporary romance! Check out all the stops on the tour, and grab your copy today, or read in Amazon KU!


 


About DOWNFALL:

Solomon Sanders doesn’t have time to fall in love. Until a stunning, skittish, single mother forces him to pause and recognize just how empty and hollow his busy life has become.

From the start, it’s been ingrained in Solo’s DNA to fight.

Fight for what he believes is right.

Fight for the people he loves.

Fight for the traces of good in a place which tends to be filled with a variety of bad.

Fight for survival, so at some point, his life will quiet down and find a normal pace.

He wasn’t ready for the impact his secretive, shy, obviously out of place new neighbor was going to have on him. And never in a million years was he prepared to fall head over heels for her and her young daughter.

Now, he’s facing the most important, and the hardest fight he’s ever fought… the battle to win Orley’s damaged heart.

Orley Vincent’s heart is full of fear, leaving no space for love. Until a big, brash, brawler of a man forces his way in and makes her realize facing her fears is the only way she can ever be free.

From the start, Orley was groomed to believe she wasn’t good enough.

She wasn’t the perfect daughter. Or student. Or girlfriend.

But, she has always been the best mother she could be to her daughter, Noble.

Keeping Noble safe has always been the one thing she was determined to do, which ironically, is how she ended up on the wrong side of the tracks, living next door to an unlikely hero. Orley’s a woman on the run. She had no idea her frantic sprint was going to land her in the tattooed arms of a man ready to teach her how to fight for herself… and for love.




DOWNFALL is now available in KU! Amazon US | Amazon CA | Amazon UK | Amazon AU | Amazon FR Amazon Paperback: Coming soon!

She's fallen a long way...

Riches to Rags to ... story set in a worst part of town featuring the cutest little three year old and her mom.  Oh and the hot hero who is going to to step in and ...  More coming soon!  And now a bit about the story...

Orley is doing the best she can in a bad situation to raise Noble.  All is about to go really bad, again, when Solo steps in and puts a stop to it.  They still don't know they live so close, but they're about to figure it out!
