Stars: 5


All for one and one for all!!


Loved this story about family and writing through issues!! Plus a portion of the proceeds go to cancer research. It's a win-win. Speaking of winning, did you ever wonder who gets the last laugh between Colt and Ty, our who wins the most card games, or what they would be find at 50? Can you believe they are that old!! Anyway, I hope you love this book as much as I did! There is laughter, inappropriate comedy (after all Ty is here, it's a requirement!), wonder, fighting, danger, sadness, and most importantly LOVE! And now a bit about the story...


The Mitchell (and Healy) families are working together to plan and execute the annual charity fundraiser. This year it will be bigger and better than before! But a weekend of relaxation leads to a family secret that soon spreads like wildfire and threatens to tear the two patriarchs apart!! Grab your copy to see how they fight it out and if you act soon part of your purchase will benefit cancer research!!

Favorite passages:
- “Take a chill pill. Sit back and have some bourbon before you get your tighty-whities knotted up.”
- “Grandpa is being a grumpy pants, isn’t he? It’s past his bedtime too.”
- There was also another time where this beautiful young lady, probably no older than twenty was in line behind us at the pharmacy. He was strapped in a cart but managed to reach over and squeeze her boobs while repeating ‘hubba bubba’.
- “I always told you eating vegetables were bad for my health,” I tease.
- That’s how this family works. We’re better together, as a team.

Dreams of Change (Branches of Emrys #2) by Brandy L Rivers
Review by Theresa Esterline
Stars: 5

Dreamwalking and so much more!

This paranormal romance features the pack from Silvertail Ridge and a few of our favorites from Edenton. This time the focus is on Bran and Eva. There is lots of love and evil for all to overcome. And now a bit about the story...

Eva may have finally decided to stop running from Bran. But first they have to deal with her father and the dark mystic he has been feeding. There is also a bit of history and a few long lost loves. It's important to remember dreams do come true!

Favorite passage: “Just that the dagger tends to grant the wielder any magic they come into contact with. They don’t steal others’ magic or siphon it, they simply gain the ability.”

Wild For You by JC Reed *~*~*~*~* Blog Tour, Review & Giveaway



“Take me. Own me. Never let me wait.”

From New York Times Bestselling Author, J.C. Reed comes a brand-new standalone novel.


I’m an average girl.
He’s a famous bull rider.
He doesn’t know that I’m into him.

The first time Cash Boyd locks eyes with Erin Stone, sparks fly, and not only the clutch-at-your-sheets kind. There is something about Erin that makes him want to push her away while at the same time drives him wild for her. He’s a man of many things, but being helpless at the hands of a woman isn’t one of them. Finding himself at her mercy, he intends to make her job as hard as possible for her. 

Burning with desire for the one man who’s the shadow to her light, Erin gives in to Cash’s advances…even though she could be destroyed by the truth she’s afraid to disclose. Little does she know that there is also more than meets the eye to Cash and she might just get more than she bargained for.


Cash might be the best at taming bulls, but taming her heart could prove to be the greatest challenge of his life.


100 % Brandnew standalone! No Cliffhanger!
HOT! SEXY!

TEASER:

“His eyes shimmer green, boring into me.
He’s beautiful.
Breathtaking.
Unforgettable.
And so deliciously close.
“Cash…” I start, but the words don’t quite find their way past my lips. How can I explain what his touch does to me when I don’t understand it myself?

Review by Theresa Esterline
Stars: 5

Mad Bull + Fierce Cowboy + Civilized Therapist = One Wild Ride!!

This was a hot and steamy story that left you frustrated at times. The characters are crazy and funny and relatable. I can just see Cash bellowing thru the house and Erin pulling her hair out wondering what he'll be up to next. And now a bit about the story...

Seconds away from being the named the "bull riding champion of the world" Cash crashes to the ground as Dillinger throws him and charges his way. Months have passed and Cash has fired more physical therapists than one person should ever need in a lifetime. Now his dad has pulled in the big guns, Erin won't be paid to leave, she will fix this... or will Cash break her to?

Favorite passages: “I’m sorry, Mr. Boyd, but just because everyone’s too intimidated to speak up doesn’t mean I am. I’m not afraid of you. I’m not tied by some family bonds to be mindful of your feelings.”

Most Valueable Playboy by Lauren Blakely ~*~*~*~*~ Release Day, Review, Donation & Giveaway

   

From #1 NYT Bestselling author Lauren Blakely, comes the swoony and oh-so-romantic title…MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY.

In MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY, the NFL starting quarterback Cooper Armstrong needs his best friend’s sister to pretend to be his girlfriend. Violet is willing, but neither one expects their boyfriend-girlfriend scrimmage to turn into a full-contact sport so quickly. Find out if their fake play will become the real deal or if they can turn back the clock to when they were just friends in this sexy new standalone sports romance!

   

Now available on all retailers! Get your copy delivered now!



✮✮✮ MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY is here! Grab your copy today! ✮✮✮

Hands down, my favorite thing in the world is to score. Touchdowns.

Don't let the fact that I'm the leading pick in the Most Valuable Playboy charity auction fool you. These days, I'm only a player on the field. I've kept my pants zipped all season long -- and it has been long -- because nothing's more important than leading my team to victory every week. Except maybe escaping from the team owner's recently-widowed and handsy-as-hell sister who's dead set on winning more than a date with me.

Enter Violet and a well-placed Hail Mary.

She's my best friend's sister with a smile as sweet as cherry pie and a mind that runs quicker than the 40-yard-dash. After Violet saves the day with the highest bid, I don't even give her a two-minute warning before I kiss her in front of the whole crowd and then announce that she's my girlfriend. Which would be fine except my agent tells me we have to keep up the act while he's negotiating my contract. Violet takes one for the team and pretends to be mine, but our boyfriend-girlfriend scrimmage quickly turns into a full contact sport, and I want it to go into overtime. The problem is -- I've been riding the bench for years.

How can a guy like me, who finally has a chance to prove his worth on the field, convince the girl she’s most valuable to his heart?

MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY is a brand new standalone sports romance written in the guy’s POV!

Excerpt

The business suit woman raises a hand, offering forty-one hundred.
Maxine’s eyes laser in on me, and she slashes an arm through the air. “Five thousand dollars,” she says, jacking the price up by nine hundred and staking her claim. I shudder inside.
The guy’s eyes widen, and he holds up his hands. “I’m out.”
My stomach plummets when the business woman shakes her head.
“Going once?” Sierra asks, scanning the tables, looking for perhaps one last big spender. My eyes scan the crowd, too. Hell, maybe I’ll find an escape hatch. A trapdoor to drop into and disappear like in a magic act. Maybe Trent will learn to read my mind. Trent, I’ll cover you for anything you bid. Just raise that hand, name a price, and save me.
My best friend’s expression is merely curious now as he watches Maxine and Sierra, waiting for the verdict. My opportunity to play yard boy slips through my fingers.
The look in Maxine’s eyes is pure satisfaction as she waits for the final word. She winks at me, as if we have a secret. Holy shit. She thinks I want this. She thinks I want her to win me. 
A flash of chestnut brown hair in the back catches my attention. A flurry of silver. It’s Violet, hands in the air, wildly flapping over her head in the middle of the ballroom. She brings her finger to her nose. And she’s tapping it, like fucking Santa Claus coming down the chimney, and Harlan tapping his nose to signal his agent, and all the greatest solutions in the universe at once.
My heart goes crazy.
It hammers in my chest. This is like finding an open receiver a second before you’re sacked.
“Going twice,” Sierra says, trailing off as she waits.
I raise my arm and tap my nose, too. Violet is the only one who knows I need to get out of this jam. She’s the only one I mentioned it to. And she’s the only one now who can save me.
“Ten thousand dollars.”
Holy shit. Violet does not mess around with my money. Her eyes widen, as if she’s surprised she bid that high.
My gaze finds Trent. He’s staring at his sister, slack-jawed.
Sierra’s smile is bright and wide. “Ten thousand dollars. Do we have ten thousand, one hundred?”
The room is hushed. Maxine’s expression is blank. She must be shocked. She probably didn’t expect anyone to vie with her to this extent.
I tap my foot, willing Sierra to close this quickly. Just slam the door shut, please, fucking please.
“Going one. Going twice.”
I say a silent prayer. I cross my fingers. I hope.
Maxine blinks, opens her mouth, and I steel myself for a disgustingly high counter bid.
But there’s only silence. No words come. Violet has shocked her speechless. This type of bid wasn’t in Maxine’s playbook.
Sierra raises her arm. “And a night with the quarterback is sold for ten thousand dollars.”
Talk about a Hail Mary.

Most Valueable Playboy by Lauren Blakely
Review by Theresa Esterline
Stars: 5

Go Long!!

Awesome story of the cutie avoiding the clingy women at work while being secretly (even from himself) in love with his best friends little sister. What makes this story even better? There is camaraderie, there is football, there are charitable characters, and even the bad guys aren't that bad. There is quite a bit of miscommunication, because when do we ever really say what we mean? I loved it and I can't wait for the next one! And now a bit about the story...

Cooper has been riding the bench for three years and now he has his big catch to lead the team to victory. Violet is his best friend Trent's little sister. She comes to his rescue - quite a bit actually - but as the two are forced together, Cooper realizes more and more how much Violet is no longer only Trent's little sister! Now if only he can keep his pledge, no sex until the season is over! 

Favorite passage: I tried Google Translate with womanspeak as the language, but it came out as gibberish.
