✯Cover Reveal✯KEEPING YOU AWAY & NEEDING YOU CLOSE (The Ex-Con Duet Series) (The Tyler & Gemma Duet) of (The Ex-con Duet Series) by Kennedy Fox

div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">



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, and it’s 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’m constantly on guard. Though I’ve taught people how to protect themselves in a boxing ring, no one can help prepare me for my next move. I’m about to enter the fight of my life and face the mafia princess who put me behind bars. She thinks I fear her and will stay away, but she has another thing coming. I plan to make her pay, but that means risking everything.

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.

✯Release Review✯Species Traitor by Kate L. Mary

Title: Species Traitor
Author: Kate L Mary
Genre: Science Fiction Dystopian
Publisher: Twisted Press
Publication Date: March 6th, 2020
Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR
Blurb:
My name is Ava Mendoza, and I am a species traitor.
They came hoping to find a new home after their own planet was destroyed, but Earth was dying as well, and most humans saw their arrival as an invasion. Now, two decades later, the Veilorians have been banished to the District, a fenced-in area on the outskirts of the last known livable land on Earth. Most people do their best to pretend they don’t exist, but not everyone. There are humans, like my cousin, who see them for what they are. Despite the threat of disownment, she married a Veilorian, and now she, too, lives in the District.
Even before I met Finn, I was determined to stand up for what was right, but from the moment I laid eyes on him, we had a connection I’ve never experienced before. But with the election of a new and radical mayor on the horizon, tensions are high, and people are calling for change. They want to make my cousin’s marriage illegal and punish any human who goes into the District, but I refuse to back down from this fight. No matter the cost.


✯✯5 Nonstop Stars!!!✯✯


Kate L. Mary has done it again. She’s known for zombies, dystopian, apocalyptic reads with a strong lady. Species Traitor is no different except instead of zombies there’s aliens. 

When The Veilorians landed on earth their planet was gone and earth is the only other planet they’ve found they could survive on. Except the humans aren’t happy they landed on their planet. They were forced to live in one section surrounded by a wall. Humans are in charge of the Veilorians electric, they get their leftovers. 

Ava was only three when the aliens AKA the Veilorians arrived. They’ve been here 22 yrs so far. Ava works cleaning the solar panels that give everybody electric. She lives with her mother, whose an alcoholic and she hates the Veilorians. She wants them gone. Ava also lives with her younger sister. 

Ava’s cousin married a Veilorian and has been disowned by her parents and the rest of her family. Ava hasn’t disowned her cousin. She loves her cousin and will continue to support her. Regardless what her mother says. 

There’s an upcoming election for new mayor and the one who’s likely to win hates the aliens. She’s promising to enforce new rules that’ll make the lives of the Veilorians extremely, extremely difficult to survive. 

Ava goes into the Veilorian compound to visit her cousin bring her supplies and to check on her. Ava loves her cousin and likes her husband. Then there’s Fin, the first half human-half Veilorian born. 

Fin hates humans and he’s not afraid to let a human know it either. Ava is strangely strongly attracted to Fin and it’s obvious he’s attracted to Ava even if he tries denying it. The more these two spend together the less Fin hates her. He’s realizing not all humans are the same. There are good ones out there and Ava is definitely one of the good ones. 

Once the election is over everybody’s lives are changed. The Veilorians have never had an easy life since landing on Earth but things are somehow worse. If that’s possible. For the humans that’ve falling in love with a Veilorian and gotten married and started a family with them are branded a species traitor and worse. 

Ava made a decision and picked a side. That side will drastically change her life forever. 

I have been dying to read this ever since Kate shared bits of a bunch of stories she started. This was SO much better then I originally thought. My heart broke for the Veilorians, Ava’s cousin and Ava. 

The humans are straight up cruel. Which I get being worried when they just land but it’s been over two decades and if it weren’t for the humans stubbornness they could be doing so much better, since the Veilorians technology and brains. It’s such a waste since the humans don’t want them doing anything. 


I’m dying dying dying for the next book. This one ended on a huge cliffhanger!!! I knew Ava was being stupid but ugh. The next part better hurry up.

✯✯5 Drummer Boy Filled Stars!!!✯✯

Omg finally!!! I’ve been anxiously waiting for A. L. Jackson’s next release and the waits finally over. 

This is a stand-alone and the start of her next new Falling Stars Series. I’m stoked bc in Kiss The Stars the guys and gals of Sunder are back since Leif is helping them out on the drums. In The Bleeding Stars Series we heard of the country band Carolina George and I’d been hoping we got more of them and that day has finally come. Whoop whoop!!

Leif Godwin is just trying to get thru his day without breaking. Waiting patiently until he can get his revenge onto those who took away what he loved and cared for most in his life. 

Music ran thru Leif’s veins.  It’s why he joined Carolina George. They’re made for stardom and he wants to help out anyway he can. Running into Lyrik from the band Sunder wasn’t the plan and neither was meeting an angel. 

Leif agreed to help out Lyrik and the others from Sunder. Step in playing the drums while they record their album. It’s only for two months and he’ll walk away with decent money. 

Leif thought he could keep his head down long enough to get thru it. Until in walked Lyrik’s baby sister, Mia West and her two children along with their extended Sunder family and Leif wasn’t sure he’d make it the entire summer. 

Mia hasn’t had things come easily. The birth of her daughter saved her and then her son completed her. She tries coparenting the best as possible. 

One night at close of business at her art gallery her and her best friend/business partner are held at gunpoint. Her best friend is killed and the cops have no idea who’s behind it. 

Mia and her kids go to stay with her older brother Lyrik, his wife Tamar and their two kids. Not that her big brother was giving her a choice otherwise LMAO!! 

Mia’s mind has been on the beautiful, dangerous man she met in the attic at her brothers house. Mia was shocked to learn he’s the infamous drummer her brother was saying that was coming to help them on their album. 

Mia’s not sure how she’s supposed to go thru the summer with him living in the guesthouse. Their chemistry is instant and super explosive and yet Leif pushes her away whenever they get too close. If only that was her only problem. There was still somebody after Mia. 

Leif wanted to leave almost the minute he showed up. When he finds out somebody could still be after Mia he knows instantly he can’t leave her. Between Leif and Lyrik they vow four eyes is better then two. He’s also worried that his baggage will be brought to their doorstep but he can’t leave Mia or her kids. 

This was another nonstop read for me. Definitely lost sleep but I wouldn’t trade this book for sleep. It has everything from hot rockstars and funny, hot country singers, a love story and suspense. It’s got everything!!

 Leif has bumped his way to the top of my book boyfriend list. I was heartbroken for him and what he went thru. That’s amazing man deserved a HEA that’s for sure. 

Mia was amazing as well!!! With her brother and his friends being famous musicians she knew what kind of lives they live and she swore she’d never get with a musician. But, all she needed was to find the right musician. Even though he tried pushing her away and was fighting his own demons, Mia never gave up on him or them. 

Add in Lyrik, Tamar and the rest of their family it was an epic read!!! Let’s also saw Lyrik’s son Brandon and Penny, Mia’s daughter they stole my heart. Hopefully, we’ll get their stories when A. L. Jackson starts hearing their voices. **Wink wink** 

I’m looking forward to the rest of the guys and lady of Carolina George. ESP Rhys bc he’s the one who spoke to me the loudest so far.
