 In my wildest dreams I never thought I'd marry a rancher. In my defense, I hadn't met Tucker James yet. He asked. I said yes. Love at first sight is easy. His family… not so much…

Release Blitz: Unbreak This Heart.




Title: Unbreak This Heart
Author: Betty Shreffler
Genre: Contemporary Romance Standalone
Release Date: August 31, 2018



Blurb

Ever since that horrific night, I’d shut men completely out of my life. I’d gone from the spunky, fun, Alex DeMarco to a broken woman terrified of intimacy. Easing me back into dating, my best friend sets me up with kickboxing lessons from my charming and perfectly sculpted instructor—Carter Maxwell.   

Carter’s goal is to break through my emotional barrier and mold my heart just like he molds my body, but trusting men is a battle I’m not ready for. What’s worse is my ex fiancé, Todd Livingston—the man who tore my heart in two—wants me back, and as much as I’d like to deny it, the feelings are still there.

Both men want what I can’t give—my body and my love—and neither are willing to give up the fight. But only one of them can unbreak this heart of mine.

Release Blitz: Hot Heir.




Title: Hot Heir
Author: Pippa Grant
Genre: Sexy Romantic Comedy
 Release Date: August 31, 2018



Blurb

If I had to pick a bride of convenience, my first choice would NOT be Peach Maloney.
My fiftieth choice would NOT be Peach.
Top spot on my list of occupational hazards? Yes. 
Royal pain in the ass?  Yes.
A bride of convenience? No.
But I’ve unexpectedly gone from royal bodyguard to monarch, having inherited a crown that was stolen from my family long before my birth. The kicker of this unexpected royal gift? In order to take the throne I must find a wife.
Have I mentioned Peach would NOT have been my hundredth choice?
But I’ve no other options, and she needs a favor that my new position can fulfill quite nicely. So we’ve agreed to play the doting newlyweds out in public.
In private, though, our rules are simple:
No touching.
No talking.
And certainly no sex.
I should have known better than to marry a rule-breaking pain in the arse.

Release Blitz: Broken.




Title: Broken
Author: Crystal Kaswell
Genre: New Adult Romance
Release Date: August 31, 2018



Blurb

Some things in life are undeniable.

Trent Stone’s smile is as rare as a rainy day in California.

His eyes are the most beautiful thing in the entire universe.

And the two of us are broken.

For years, we had everything. The kind of love that only exists in fairytales. But it slipped through my fingers. I left and I took his heart with me.

That was supposed to be it. The end. Forever.

Now, I’m face to face with Trent, staring into those soulful brown eyes, choking on all the things I want to say. My heart is begging for his comfort. My body is begging for his touch. My head… my head knows better.

He hates me for leaving.

But if he knew the truth…

This is one secret I’m taking to my grave.

I just hope it doesn’t kill me.

Review: Even at Your Darkest

Even at Your Darkest Even at Your Darkest by A.J. Love
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Even at Your Darkest was my first A.J. Love read (as A.J. Love or Annie Hughes), and I can guarantee I will be back for more. I was sucked into Even at Your Darkness from the very first page, and in no time at all I found myself devouring the entire book. I’m no stranger to completing books in a single sitting, but this was another of those cases where I should have been doing other things yet opted to enjoy a good book instead.

Even at Your Darkest was a book filled with emotion, one that grips you on so many levels. You fall in love with the characters, the events have your heart slamming against your chest, and you find yourself lost to the world. With plenty of things to enjoy throughout, this book will have you hooked and desperate for more.

Although I enjoyed so many things about this book, the thing I loved the most was the character development. Both our main characters had so many layers to uncover, and I loved watching the way they grew together. They played off each other so well, and the chemistry between them was wonderful. I did feel as though a couple of things towards the end were questionable, didn’t quite follow how I’d imagined the characters were growing, but they played into events that hit hard, so I accepted them for what they were.

I think the only thing that surprised me is that the book wasn’t darker. It certainly deals with some heavy topics, and needs a trigger warning, but the title had me expecting a truly dark read. As I’ve mentioned with other books, though, my notion of a dark read seems to require something much darker than the average person. For me, rather than dark, this was a heavy read – one filled with topics that will hit hard, and events that will leave you breathless.

Without a doubt, Even at Your Darkest was a wonderful read, and I cannot wait to dive into more of A.J. Love’s work.

Review: More Than This

More Than This More Than This by Patrick Ness
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Since my first Patrick Ness book, The Knife of Never Letting Go, I’ve been curious about More Than This. There was curiosity about all the Patrick Ness books, yet More Than This is the one to have intrigued me the most. Thus, when I decided to work through all his books, I worked on the ‘save the best until last’ basis, crossing my fingers I would adore More Than This.

Through reading all the Patrick Ness books to date (excluding And the Ocean Was Our Sky, which I shall grab once the library has it), I’ve found my feelings towards his work are rather mixed. There are the cases of The Crane Wife and Release, where I gave two-star ratings, where I was not won over by the story. There is the case of The Rest of Us Just Live Here, where I gave a three-star rating, where I wasn’t quite won over but I appreciated the story. There are the cases of the Chaos Walking trilogy and A Monster Calls, where I gave four-star ratings, where I really enjoyed the story I was given. Despite my mixed bag of emotions, Patrick Ness continually offers something different, continues to grab my attention.

With More Than This, I went in with quite a few expectations. It turns out, the story was nothing at all like I had imagined it would be. If I’m being completely honest, I was rather worried at first. Part one of the story failed to grab me, and I found myself fearing a repeat of Release. A story with promise, a story that mixes elements together, but one that failed to grab me. Part two is what won me over, is what guaranteed I’d be devouring the book at quite some speed. Things were introduced, and I found myself curious about how everything would come together.

More Than This is one of those stories where you’re never quite given any answers. In fact, you leave the book with more questions than answers. Plenty of things are open to interpretation, and it made this a really interesting story to work through. At the end I found myself asking whether I really knew what I thought I knew, found myself curious as to what the truth of the situation was.

I know some people will hate the story for that very reason – it’s one of those literary devices people either enjoy or hate. Personally, I rather enjoyed it. It meant the story was nothing at all like I’d anticipated, but it left me engaged throughout.

Was I right in my choice to leave More Than This until last? It may not be my favourite Patrick Ness book – I enjoyed the Chaos Walking trilogy too much for that – but it was an enjoyable read.

Release Blitz: Recovering Beauty.




Title: Recovering Beauty
Series: The Kane Brothers #2
Author: Gina Azzi
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 30, 2018



Blurb

She saves him from himself.  But he ruins her for anyone else.

Taylor:
He shouldn’t smile at me. He shouldn’t even look at me. He’s cost me more than he’ll ever know yet he’s saved me in ways he’ll never realize. Carter Kane is different. He sees past me and through me and into me all at the same time. He makes the damaged parts of me beautiful and the beautiful parts inconsequential. 

Carter:
She's the last person I expect to meet here. Wide blue eyes, full lips, and flowers in her hair, she looks like she could grace the cover of a magazine. Or dance at Coachella. But when Taylor Clarke unexpectedly catapults into my life, she flips it upside down, forcing me to see things differently. Forcing me to admit things I’d rather forget. 

Sometimes life hands us a second chance. A fresh start. Sometimes life deals us a tragedy that we just manage to recover from. Sometimes, it’s even beautiful.
