Review: The Difference Between Somebody and Someone

The Difference Between Somebody and Someone The Difference Between Somebody and Someone by Aly Martinez
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Aly Martinez is an author whose name I constantly see, always leaving me curious about the popularity surrounding their work. Finally, with The Difference Between Somebody and Someone, I jumped into the author’s work and understand the hype.

The Difference Between Somebody and Someone was a story that hooked me from the start, sucking me in deep with the emotion. I was sucked in deep by so many aspects of the story, and I could not put it down until I saw how everything would come together. Although I thought things moved a little quickly between the characters at first, by the end I was too invested to be put off by the detail. Then the twist appeared – the one I should have seen coming but failed to realise – and everything slotted into place perfectly. Suddenly, I was looking at the book in a different way. Then it ended, and I was left desperate for the next.

Without a doubt, The Difference Between Somebody and Someone has guaranteed I’ll be reading more of the author’s work. Not just the next in the series – obviously I’ll be diving the next two books to get answers – but also the author’s other work. I cannot wait to see what comes next.

Review: The Lottery

The Lottery The Lottery by Karpov Kinrade
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

After enjoying The Witch’s Game, I was eager to dive into another book from Karpov Kinrade. The Lottery sounded like something I would love – a mix of science fiction and forbidden romance – and I was eager to see how Karpov Kinrade handled the story.

I’ll be honest and say that this one had me conflicted. While I loved the messages in this one, the way the end of the planet was handled, I never really felt the romance side of the story. Things felt too instant and easy for me, and this meant my enjoyment of that element of the story – the element that was prevalent throughout – was not what I had expected. In fact, if I’m being completely honest. I was more interested in the side characters and their romantic lives than the main characters. In this case, I think this was one of those times where I simply did not connect with the main characters. I’m sure many others will be hooked, as it is an interesting story, it just wasn’t quite what I had hoped for.

Although I did not love the couple in the way I had hoped, I am curious about what comes next for the series. As I said, I was interested in the side characters, and I do want to see what happens between them.

TRAILER



EXCERPT

I grab her hand and press a kiss onto the top, which immediately grabs her attention … and makes the air lock in her throat.
“You think you know me, but you don’t,” I say as I look up at her from underneath my eyelashes.
“I know you hate me as much as I hate you,” she responds.
“I never said I hated you …” I reply, leaning over the tub so she can’t look away. “I hate what you’ve done to me. What you make me do.” I grab her face and inch closer and closer. “How greedy you make me.”
Her lips are wet, the steam rising from the bath drawing smoke between us. But nothing can keep me away from her.
Nothing.
Not even my own damn stone-cold heart.
“I want to hate you,” I murmur so close to her lips I can almost taste them. “So badly …”
“Hate is all you’ve ever shown me,” she murmurs back, her eyes completely transfixed on mine.
“If I hadn’t, there would’ve been nothing left of you.”
She sucks in a breath, her body freezing in the hot bath, her nipples growing taut as I hover so close to her face I can feel every one of her twitches just from the vibrations in the air.
“Show me then. Show me what it means not to hate.”
I press my top lip against hers, and whisper, “Kiss me and find out.”
One second.
That’s all it takes for our lips to collide and for her mouth to finally crave mine as I have craved hers. I’ve claimed her lips before, but she’s never given them to me freely. Willingly. Hungrily.
And fuck me, that makes me hungry for more.
The way she kisses me back wakes the hunter inside me.
I groan against her lips as I coax them to open, desperate for a taste. And when she does, our tongues entangle, and I kiss her deep and hard, wanting to draw out her soul.
I’ve kissed girls before, but none of them ever made me this lusty, this greedy for more.
I lean up and get closer and closer until I’m halfway into the tub with my arms, but I don’t care. The warmth only heats me up even more as I circle my tongue around and lick the roof of her mouth.
She tastes pure, divine, like everything I could ever want to ruin.
The more I have, the more I want to take, and take, and take until there’s nothing left.
I want to break every last inch of her until all she’ll ever want is me.

Easton Evans has everything he ever wanted. To be a part of a world-famous rock band, fame, money, and his choice in women.

They’ve been on the road touring for nearly a year, and by all appearances, Easton has a perfect life, but something is missing. He just doesn’t know what that is yet.

Like a falling star, Easton is burning out—running on fumes. Not to mention a fan’s undying infatuation with him is reaching stalker level. He needs a vacation before the road snuffs out his creative flames for good.

A small town in Tennessee looks like the perfect place to lie low and find peace.

Until he steps foot on Connelly Ranch and meets Becca, a spitfire redhead.

Becca is barely keeping her head above water. She’s stretching herself thin, doing everything she can to keep the bank from taking her family’s legacy.

She’s convinced Easton is nothing more than a heartbreaker, your stereotypical playboy who is used to getting what he wants.

Easton is determined to prove her wrong.

EXCERPT

“I’ve seen the way you look at her. The way your eyes stare at her body as if it belongs to you.”
“I may have looked, but I never touched her.” He lifts his chin in defiance as I come to a stop in front of him and laugh.
“I considered letting you off easy, ending the pain and suffering you’ve been enduring the last few hours, if you confessed…” My voice trails off as I grab his hand tightly in mine, sliding the cigar cutter up his finger, stopping just above the knuckle. Closing it just enough for him to feel the bite of the blade against his skin. “But you continue to lie,” I say with a smile as I close the blade, his screams of pain echoing throughout the room.
I want to rip him apart piece by piece, making him pay for even thinking that he could touch her. That he was worthy of her attention, let alone affection. Helina is mine to protect in any way I see fit, and his mistake is going to cost him his life.
“Helina is not to be touched. If anyone so much as looks at her, you’ll pay with your life.” I slide the cutter up the next finger, this time going all the way to the base. “As well as the lives of every person you’ve ever known.”
“Please…” he stammers, his gaze flicking between the cutter and mine. “I never touched her. I’ve looked—she’s beautiful—but I never would have imagined crossing that line.”
“I understand now,” I say with a forced smile, pulling the cutter off his finger completely and standing to my full height. “You didn’t plan on it, but you’re only human. Eventually, your baser needs would have overtaken your reason.”
Reminders of my fight to stay away from her, protecting her innocence from the darkness lurking inside my heart. I’ve gone through every step of self-hatred as my need to own her has slowly taken over.
With each passing day, jealousy beyond anything I’d ever imagined courses through my body each time she mentions anyone but me. I want to own every part of her. To be the center of her universe, as she is mine.
But she’s my sister, not biologically but in name, and she will be for her entire life. These feelings are forbidden, and I’m a stronger man than this. I’ll continue to struggle to keep my growing feelings for her locked in the depths of my heart, never allowing them to taint her innocence with my darkness. She is the light in the world, the one thing I promised to protect from monsters like my father, not become one myself.
“Thank you for understanding,” he says, and his entire body sags in relief as I motion for Dimitri to come closer.
No one touches what’s mine and gets away with it, whether I’m ready to admit it or not. I may not have Helina the way my heart desires, but no one else will have her.
“I understand more than you know, and that is why you have to die.”

Release Blitz: The Coach.




Title: The Coach
Series: Secrets of the Harper Sisters #1
Author: A.K. Steel
Genre: Age Gap Romantic Suspense
Release Date: January 27, 2022


BLURB

Love is all fun and games... until someone gets hurt.

I'm Andrea Harper, top striker for the LA Angels. I play hard, party hard, and I don't do relationships. I sleep with who I want, when I want. I'm out to have fun. The only important thing in my life is soccer. I have spent my entire life dedicated to the game. And I'm on track to be one of the best female soccer players in the country, if not the world. Being the best is the only thing that matters.

But life has a way of throwing you a curveball when you least expect it, and in my case, it was love.

One night with my childhood hero was all it took. Brad Swift. He’s nearly ten years older and used to be one of the best professional soccer players in the world before he got injured. He was my childhood hero until we slept together and messed all that up. I thought I could put it down to just another stupid mistake, that he would go back to England and I would never see him again.
That was until he turned up at training as our new soccer coach.

The attraction we share is undeniable, but he's off limits. It's strictly forbidden for a coach to date a player. Too bad I've never been one to follow the rules and the temptation is just too much... So we slip up, make a pact to keep it fun. Nobody needs to know.

But secrets this good have a way of getting into the wrong hands. And when they do, danger is the name of the game.

EXCERPT

Brad Swift. In a club here in LA. Not just any club but the same one that we chose to come to tonight. What are the chances?
My heart is pounding, so unlike me, and for a split second as I get a little closer, I have second thoughts. He's mighty fine, and he's in a suit, all clean-cut and swoony. I can feel my lady parts wake up, the throb with need already thumping through me. I could never resist a handsome man in a suit, especially this one.
I take a deep breath to get my nerves under control. I give myself a pep talk. Andy, we don't get nervous, remember? He is just a guy, no one special. You've got this. Checking behind me, I see my friends have all taken up the challenge as well and are heading to their selected guys.
Game on, girlfriends.
I sway my way through the club with an air of relaxed confidence, my eyesight set just past him to the bartender, but I take him in with my peripheral vision. And that's enough to trigger a hot flush of excitement, knowing how close I am to him, Brad Swift. This guy used to be a poster on my bedroom wall for fuck's sake, that's how obsessed with him I was. I wanted to be every bit as good a player as he was. It's why I started playing striker position in the first place and practicing scoring goals became an obsession. And he was mighty fine to look at, my first proper celebrity crush.
What am I going to say to him? Part of me wants to drop at his feet, thank him for being such an inspiration, tell him he's my hero and the reason I'm one of the top soccer players in the country. But that's not going to work here, not tonight, anyway. I'm playing a game, one I made up. And tonight, I'm a mechanic, thanks to Jasmine.
This guy would be used to getting the attention of any girl he wants, so I decide to ignore him instead. I walk straight past him to the bar, smiling at the cute bartender from earlier. I fix my hair, tucking a strand behind my ear in a flirtatious way. Standing close enough to Brad that he can't miss me, I lean over to get the bartender's attention. "Another Jameson, thanks," I purr.
He smiles with a nod of the head and pours my drink, placing it in front of me. I take it, swirling the amber-colored liquid around a few times, then taking a small sip. I turn toward Brad, who is now unashamedly checking me out. I raise a brow in his direction, like, what the fuck are you looking at? Then I lean back on the bar, sipping my drink as I take in my surroundings. Playing it as cool as I can, even though my heart is pounding out of my chest. I'm close enough that I can smell his aftershave, and it's intoxicating.
"Nice choice." He smiles my way, then turns to the bartender. "Another Jameson on the rocks." The bartender places his drink down in front of him. He has a swig then looks back to me. "You're not like the other girls hanging around here tonight."
That Australian accent... fuck, he sounds so sexy. I take another sip of my drink, trying to stay calm. He's going to come on to me. Acting uninterested works every time. Guys like this have overly inflated egos, and they can't stand the fact that a pretty girl might not be interested in them.






AUTHOR BIO


I'm a contemporary romance author my novels feature swoony men, twists and turns and always a happily ever after.

I'm a busy mother of three pre-teens, who lives on the beautiful South Coast of New South Wales, Australia. I have always been a creative soul, with a background in fashion design, interior decoration, and floristry. I currently run a business as a wedding florist and stylist, but have always had a love for reading romance novels, something about how the story can transport you to another world entirely.

So in 2020 I decided to jot down some of my own ideas for romance stories, always with a happily ever after of course, and from that came my debut novel Always Fraser. From that moment I haven't looked back, writing has become a part of me. I have a long list of stories plotted and I look forward to being able to share all my stories with you soon. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I loved writing them, xx
