When the Time is Right, an all-new friends to lovers standalone from USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez and M. Mabie is available now!

wttir cover

Fate doesn’t always happen overnight.

Hudson Bradley is the cockiest, most stubborn, hard-headed man I’ve ever known. And for fifteen years, he’s been my brother's best friend.

But lately, what I’m feeling for him isn’t friendship at all.

Why is my heart racing every time his blue eyes lock on mine? Why does every word he rumbles in my ear make my body come alive? And worst of all, why did I bet him that I could find a woman he and his son would both love?

If I hadn’t given up on love altogether, Hudson would have been perfect for me. After all, he was there the day my world fell apart. He’s spent the last six years piecing me back together.

There are a million reasons why we could never work, but after a single kiss, I can’t remember any of them.

Now that the time is right, I have to make him mine—before I lose him forever.

✯Cover Reveal✯The Initiation(The 4Horsemen Series #1) by Elena Monroe




Title: The Initiation
Series: The 4Horsemen #1
Author: Elena Monroe
Genre: Dark New Adult Romance
Cover Design: Maria, Steamy Reads
Photo: Peter Stimson
Model: Al Jarred
Release Date: August 4, 2020



Blurb

The seals have been revealed and God’s judgments on the earth is in. The Clave is here to deliver the news.

ABIGAIL
LA wasn’t home… just home for now.
Transplanted here to model I learned Hollywood isn’t where dreams survive the harsh reality of millions all sharing that same dream.
Executive assistant is who I am now.
Slave.
Hollywood’s darling took a liking to me. One not easily ignored when they give you a taste of the high life. 
I was supposed to give up hope and give in to LA’s bad reputation but I had rules. 
Well, just one: read the rules before you break them.
Unwilling to abandon all my morals, the filter came off my life to see the world I was one foot in was invitation only...

GRIMM
I’m not sure I was ever really Jason.
Whoever he was, was a distant memory now.
Grimm is who I am now.
Death.
I abandoned my birth name, companionship, happiness that wasn’t shaped like Xanax all because I was expected to be the kind of elite that pulls the strings.
Pull the strings but follow the rules. 
No distractions.
No serious relationships.
Keep what we do secret.
Born into a rite I didn’t ask for, a society of puppeteers.
An invitation I marked not attending...

We were all related to monsters. 
All heir to corrupt kingdoms.
Forced to uphold some delusion that we are doing God’s will by ridding the world of the bad people when we should be included in that kind of purge. 
“It’s down to the right. There’s a bunker. That’s where they keep the sacrifices,” I was finally tired of wondering around when I knew exactly where to go.
I found them by mistake one year when I was ten, back when inviting your whole family was more common. They expected everyone to be present even if you weren’t weilding a musket and shooting real people down. 
The four of us used to play hide and seek on the grounds just to keep ourselves entertained. I always had the best hiding places, this was our vacation home when it wasn’t being used for some ceremony the Clave hosted. 
I was ten years old when I found people in cages in the bunker we were told to stay away from. They were all dugged, out of it like they were dreaming with their eyes open. I envied them. Dreaming with your eyes wide open seemed like the perfect antidote to life, too bad that kind of safety only came before you died.
It wasn’t until my first attendance I realized these people weren’t lucky at all. They were bait, aggression running wild, enemies of the Clave that we hunted for sport. 
None of them were going to survive - the least we could do was let them dream with their eyes wide open.






Author Bio


Elena Monroe grew up in Florida scribbling down stories from a very young age. These stories were really just wavy lines filling the paper, but she knew each word, each emotion, each character's name, and there was no tricking her into forgetting what each line signified. Just like her unconventional way of writing as a toddler Elena is setting her own rules and just telling stories.

Much like her debut novel, The Best Years, life certainly imitated art. Transplanting from the South to the East Coast, Elena currently lives in Connecticut with her soon to be husband, reformed bad boy.

✯Cover Reveal✯Vindicator Box Set by Kathy Coopmans


Title: Vindicator Box Set
Books Included: Vengeance, Warrant & Retaliation
Author: Kathy Coopmans
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: August 11


Cover Design: Ellie McLove



VENGEANCE
I often wondered if Vengeance came with a price. I never cared, not after the torture I’ve endured.
For me, Vengeance is best served through the eyes of my scope. The twitch of my finger. The pull of a trigger.
The death of someone who deserves to die.
Revenge, retribution, and retaliation are all that comes to mind.
Cruel and brutal punishment for the hell inflicted on my family is all I’ve ever been able to think about.
The betrayal fresh in mind years later, reminding me of the day my world came crashing down.
I lost everything.
The woman I loved.
My sister.
My parents.
Myself.
You know what else I say about Vengeance?
It’s best served frozen.
No side dish of compassion. No extra helping of warning.
No dessert called a second chance.
The price I want for it.
Is written in blood.
Author Note- This book does contain triggers. It’s noted here as well as the beginning of the book.
WARRANT
Every wrongdoing warrants a consequence. In my case, I’ve decided to settle the score with death.
Especially when, what brought this on, what stirred up my crazy, was the vicious attack on an innocent young girl.
Worse, one that ended in her death.
Years, I’ve been plotting to take out the men I used to call my brothers.
The men who double-crossed me by brutally murdering my sister.
I want revenge. I need it. Crave it. It’s in my blood.
I planned to stop at nothing. No matter, if I conflicted pain on another woman.
After all, it was her brother who killed my sister. I figured, why not make him suffer the same way I have.
One tiny glimpse of her changes everything.
Or does it?
Maybe, just maybe, the little siren I wanted to harm is going to single-handedly slaughter me instead.
Lies. Deceit.
Manipulation.
Gotta love a tangled web of warranted deception.
* Author note. This book does contain triggers. Please be advised.
A warranted HEA guaranteed.
RETALIATION
As far back as I can remember, I pushed away those ugly demons looping their venom around my brain.
Trying to turn me into a man I never wanted to be.
“Do what we say or die.”
Words filled with poison, they slowly dripped in my veins, leaving me a mess of a man, and walking that thin line between
right and wrong.
I never wanted to be a killer; now it’s a craving I need to survive.
The man I used to be never wanted to cause anyone an ounce of unbearable pain, because I know first-hand what it feels
like.
That choking in your throat, barely able to breathe heartbreak of those who died, left behind.
The men I’m killing, they left me no choice but to walk a line chalked with retaliation.
To leave the woman I love behind.
I didn’t take a life like they claim to cause her pain. I sacrificed a lifetime with her to keep her alive.
But, after fourteen years of her living that lie, I’m crossing another line.
One I was warned to never step over.
“Stay away from her, or she dies.”
*Author Note- This book may spark triggers.

✯Release Review✯Keeping You Away (Ex-Con Duet Series #1)(Tyler & Gemma #1) by Kennedy Fox






I never planned on returning to Alabama, but circumstances brought me here after years of being gone. Though Lawton Ridge is my hometown, I was hesitant to go back because of her —my sister’s best friend. The last time we were together, she was eighteen, and I was a broken soldier transitioning to civilian life.

Gemma wrote to me while I was overseas and we developed a bond I hadn’t anticipated. I crushed her heart the day I left, something I’ve never forgotten. But now that her dad is my new boss, life just got way more complicated.

Too sweet, too innocent, too good for a guy like me—I should walk away again.

After serving five years in prison for something I didn’t do, I trust no one, but Gemma gradually breaks down my walls and exposes the pain I’ve hidden underneath. For her own sake, I should keep my distance, but it’s nearly impossible when I hear her sweet humming while I work and she slowly draws me back in. It’s a battle I didn’t train for, and one I’ll lose if I don’t keep my restraint—especially since she’s engaged to another man.

Keeping You Away is a slow-burn, angsty romance wrapped up in an intense love story. It’s book 1 in the Tyler & Gemma duet & must be read first.


✯✯5 Tyler & Gemma Filled Stars!!!✯✯

I’ve loved EVERY book Kennedy Fox has released.  One of my FAVORITE characters in The Roommate Duet  Series was Tyler!! When I read what was all done with him I was crying. He didn’t deserve what was done to him and I was praying he’d get his own book and here we are. 


Things haven’t been easy for Tyler. His childhood wasn’t the best and he joined the military straight after high school. During his 4yrs in the military he spent writing back and forth with Gemma, his younger sister Everleigh’s best friend. 


Tyler fell in love with Gemma while writing letters back and forth. When he came home he fell harder. 


Tyler was Gemma’s first and they spent the summer together but he knew he had to get outta Alabama and begged for her to come but she wouldn’t but he left anyway. 


Tyler has been gone for twelve years and has never once been back and never planned on it. But, five years ago Tyler made a decision to help his best friend Liam with he got mixed up with the O’Leary mob. It ended up costing him the last five years in prison but he’d do it again to help Liam and save Maddie’s life. 


Tyler is back in Alabama living with his sister and starting his new job. Working for Gemma’s dad. Who also works for her dad. She’s also engaged and looks different and isn’t happy he’s back. Tyler’s starting to think he made the wrong decision coming back. 


Gemma has loved Tyler for her entire life. She was shocked he wrote her back the first time but loved writing him back and forth for those four years. They enjoyed their summer together and Gemma was devastated when he left. 


Gemma waited years for him to comeback. She went on dates here and there but nothing panned out. Then few years ago she gave up hope Tyler would ever return. 


Gemma felt terrible when he went to prison. When she heard what he was charged with she knew that wasn’t Tyler. He’d never mess with guns or drugs. 


Gemma started dating Robert and they got engaged after six months but have been engaged awhile. He’s been pushing her to move in with him and to set a date. He’s hoping she’ll move up her timeline and marry him within a few months from now. 


Gemma was questioning marrying Robert. The last thing she was expecting or needing was Tyler coming back and working with her everyday. 


Tyler’s not the same guy he was when he left. She sees a hardness and sadness in his eyes that weren’t there when he left. What is still there is their connection. It’s still sizzling hot. 


Gemma’s starting to see a different side to Robert as well. He’s becoming pushier on them moving in and getting married now rather then later. They hardly spend time together unless she’s having to dress to impress his work clients. He’s also become super jealous and possessive of her and he isn’t liking her working with Tyler. She can never tell him he’s anything more then Everleigh’s older brother. 



Gemma is getting more and more unsure about marrying Robert. It’s obvious she still has feelings for Tyler. Even without seeing him for twelve years he makes her feels things Robert never has. Not even in the beginning. But, it’s what Robert’s been hiding that has her over it. 


In my book Tyler never needs redemption. He’s the best guy ever!! What he needs is a HEA. In order to get that he needs to finish a big part of him. The one thing he can’t get past. 


I’m dying for the last part of this duet to release. I called exactly who Gemma was going to meet and I’m not surprised. I’m going to continue rooting for Tyler & Gemma. 


I’m also excited Katie and Everleigh are going to get their HEA but these three friends remind me of Maddie & her two sisters.

✯Release Review✯Star Bright (Bright Young Things #1) by Staci Hart

It's finally here!! Star Bright, the first in Staci Hart's brand new Bright Young Things series, is available now. Grab your copy of Star Bright from your preferred online book retailer today!

Amazon | B&N | Kobo |AppleBooks | Goodreads

Stella Spencer has one enemy—her secrets.

The world’s obsession with the Bright Young Things is real. Every lavish party thrown by the most exclusive group in New York is a spectacle, stalked not only by the media, but by the police commissioner, who’s declared war. He’s out to ruin everyone’s good time, starting with uncovering the mysterious benefactor leading the group, thus answering the question on everyone’s lips.

Who is Cecelia Beaton?

And no one knows it’s Stella.

If society finds out the truth, her plans will unravel. And with one smoldering look from a stranger, her carefully ordered world catches fire.

Levi Hunt has one plan—get the story.

His future at Vagabond magazine depends on his ability to do the one thing no one can: infiltrate the Bright Young Things. If he can find out who Cecelia Beaton is, he’ll earn enough notoriety to permanently secure his career.

His dreams are at his fingertips, so long as he doesn’t blow his cover. But one night with the brightest, most brilliant young thing of all, and he knows he’ll have to make a choice.

The job he loves or the woman of his dreams.

Secrets and lies. Love and laughter. And two people with something to hide and everything to gain.

Welcome to the party.


✯✯5 Levi & Stella Filled Stars!!!✯✯

Staci Hart is back with a brand new world and people for me to fall in love with. Bright Young Thingsare a group of rich friends throwing the most extravagant, over the top parties and in order to get in you must be on the list. Without an invitation you’ll never get in. 


Levi Hunt is on a mission to get into the next party. Levi is a photographer and work’s at Vagabond as a staff writer. Levi’s got a new assignment that if he nails he’ll get exactly what he wants. Get into the Bright Young Things parties anddocument everything. If Levi uncovers who Cecilia Burton is he’ll get what he wants: go to Syria to cover the war. He’ll also make enough money to help take care of Billy, the only dad he’s ever had. Levi was prepared for anything except for Stella Spencer. 


Stella Spencer is one of the core members of Bright Young Things. She may or may not know who is behind the Cecelia Burton name. 


Stella has her few close friends that know all her deep and dark secrets. Stella’s been known to not have the best luck at picking the right boyfriends. Prime example is Dexter. After 2yrs he broke her heart outta nowhere. Stella isn’t looking to jump into another relationship. She’s just looking for some fun but when Levi walks into the party everything Stella’s been saying falls outta her brain. 


Levi knows he’s got a job to do. He knows what’s at stake if he fails but Stella makes him question everything, including walking away from what he’s there to do. 


Stella knows she’s got secrets that just doesn’t affect her but those closest to her. If her secrets get into the wrong hands it’s game over for everybody bc the police commissioner is coming after the Bright Young Things and targeting Stella. But, Stella wants to tell Levi even though she’s afraid of what he’ll do when he knows.  


Once I started this I didn’t put it down!! I love the way Staci writes. She’s always getting me hooked from the very beginning of the story and Star Bright was no different. I’m so so so excited to see which Bright Young Thing is getting their HEA and I’m DYING to know whose after them. 

Staci 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. When she's not writing, she's reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.

✯Release Review✯Mr. Knightsbridge(The Mister Series #2) by Louise Bay

  MR. KNIGHTSBRIDGE by Louise Bay

  Blurb: 

Dexter Daniels prefers gems over women. Emeralds over girlfriends. Diamonds over marriage.

 

He might be the most successful jeweler of his generation, a loyal friend and some say the most handsome man in London, but his past means he doesn’t deal in love.

 

When Hollie Lumen enters the ballroom where exquisite royal jewels are on display, she brings Dexter’s world to a screeching halt. Despite her hand-me-down dress and borrowed shoes, Hollie is even more stunning than the jewelry. Feisty, funny and ferociously independent, she’s all Dexter can see.

 

Hollie Lumen can’t catch a break. She thought an internship in London was her chance to escape her responsibilities back in Oregon and for her dreams to come true. When she’s fired only a few weeks after touching down, she’s ready to give up and go home. Hollie never asks for help. She knows the only person she can rely on is herself.

 

So what’s she going to do about the tall, dark, handsome stranger who keeps rescuing her?

 

She’s going to rescue him right back. 

 

 Mr. Knightsbridge is a stand-alone romance.


✯✯5 Dexter Filled Stars!!!✯✯ 



Yes!!! I’ve been dying for Louise to publish another book after finishing Mr. Mayfair bc I LOVED Beck and I fell in love with his Circle of friends! I’ve been waiting for Dexter ever since. 


Dexter works hard everyday. Dexter tries everyday to make his parents proud of the man he’s become. Dexter lost his parents in an accident when he was 19yrs old.  They were at the top of the list as being the best in the jewelry  business. Dexter was completely blindsided when his older brother sold his parents business to Sparkle, the company that had been after his parents business for years. Bc of that he hasn’t spoken to his brother since.  


Dexter has been working hard to get to where he is. He’s got stores all over the place except for London. London reminds him of his parents and until he reaches his personal goal he won’t open a store there. 


Dexter’s back in London for the time being. The Heirs of Finnish Royalty are getting married. They’re looking to pick whose going to design their jewelry. Dexter’s parents made the jewelry for the brides parents when they wed. Dexter knows he can win this competition. 


Dexter has entered the competition. He’s stayed away from London and his fellow jewelers. But, being back this time something different happened. He’s ran into people who knew his parents and they started telling stories about them. Things he knew and things he didn’t know and he found himself smiling and laughing for real for the first time when people were talking about them. 


Then Dexter sees a beautiful woman standing alone and looking at the tiara and ring his parents made and he couldn’t stay away from her. 


Holly couldn’t believe where she was standing. Holly didn’t belong in London, surrounded by these incredibly talented people, with an internship with a company looking to make jewelry for the royal family. ESP since just a few days ago she was in America sharing a trailer with her younger sister. 


Holly always loved the idea of making jewelry. She dabbled in making a few pieces here and there depending on the cost of things. She made an Etsy page and couldn’t believe that her pieces sold. 


Holly is a provider. Her parents have never kept a job long. She works hard enough to pay rent on her parents trailer, her and her sister trailer and she also pays for her sisters college. She’s putting a lot on the line to be all the way in London. 


Holly’s heard all who Dexter is. He’s the real deal in this business. They can’t seem to stay away from each other. Holly tries to deny her attraction to him but her sister talks some sense into her.  


Dexter knows Holly is still new in his business but talking to her he likes what he hears & sees from her. When things don’t work for Holly at Sparkle Dexter offers her an internship at his company. 


Holly agreed to it as long as nobody know about what their relationship is. Holly doesn’t want anybody thinking less about her. Dexter agrees bc he doesn’t wanna loose Holly yet. He’s never felt this way about a woman. 


Ever since his first relationship ended Dexter’s swore he’d never be in love again. Doesn’t  matter what any of his friends say. But, Holly’s making him feel things he’s never felt and has him rethinking things he’s always thought. 


But, even though things seem perfect it won’t end smooth. Nope things get bumpy and if they want a HEA they’ll have to work for it. 


OMG I’m in love with Dexter. I thought Beck was the man.... Dexter just tied with Beck!! My heart broke for Dex and I was hoping he’d find peace and love. Holly is from a completely different world then Dexter but man she fits into his world and looks good next to him!!


I’m excited to see which one of these guys story is next. BC, I’m truly loving this group of guy best friends!!
