New Release: WE SHOULDN'T by Vi Keeland!

WeShouldnt_Title
A Standalone Contemporary Romance
#1 New York Times Bestselling Author Vi Keeland
we shouldn't live now square

SYNOPSIS:

Bennett Fox walked into my life on one hell of a crappy Monday morning. I was late for the first day at my new job—a job I’d now have to compete for even though I’d already worked eight years to earn it, because of an unexpected merger. While I lugged my belongings up to my new office, a meter maid wrote me a parking summons. She’d ticketed a long line of cars—except for the Audi parked in front of me, which happened to be the same make and model as mine. Annoyed, I decided to regift my ticket to the car that had evaded a fine. Chances were, the owner would pay it and be none the wiser. Except, I accidentally broke the windshield wiper while slipping the ticket onto the car’s window. Seriously, my day couldn’t get any worse. Things started to perk up when I ran into a gorgeous man in the elevator. We had one of those brief moments that only happened in movies. You know the deal…your body lights up, fireworks go off, and the air around you crackles with electricity. His heated stare left me flushed when I stepped off the elevator. Maybe things here wouldn’t be so bad after all. Or so I thought. Until I walked into my new boss’s office and met my competition. The gorgeous man from the elevator was now my nemesis. His heated stare wasn’t because of any mutual attraction. It was because he’d seen me vandalize his car. And now he couldn’t wait to annihilate his rival. There’s a fine line between love and hate—and we shouldn’t cross it. We shouldn’t—but straddling that line could be so much fun. we shouldn't release day live now banner PURCHASE LINKS: Amazon ➜ https://amzn.to/2RUCszM iBooks ➜ http://smarturl.it/hmp0xb Amazon paperback ➜ http://amzn.to/2sgA0oP B&N ➜ http://smarturl.it/5zqpdu Google Play ➜ http://smarturl.it/f6prjg Audio ➜ http://smarturl.it/e2gv12 Sign up for Vi’s mailing list now and be the first one notified when it goes live! https://www.subscribepage.com/i6h3o5 Do you like texts better than email?

Excerpt: ONLY A BREATH APART by Katie McGarry!

 

Would you dare to defy destiny? Are our destinies written in stone? Do we become nothing more than the self-fulfilling prophesies of other people's opinions? Or can we dare to become who we believe we were born to be?

“A gorgeous, heartfelt journey of redemption and love” (Wendy Higgins), ONLY A BREATH APART is a young adult contemporary novel from critically acclaimed Katie McGarry. “Haunting, authentic, and ultimately hopeful” (Tammara Webber), order your copy of ONLY A BREATH APART now!

 

About ONLY A BREATH APART:

They say your destiny is carved in stone. But some destinies are meant to be broken.

The only curse Jesse Lachlin believes in is his grandmother’s will: in order to inherit his family farm he must win the approval of his childhood best friend, the girl he froze out his freshman year.

A fortuneteller tells Scarlett she's psychic, but what is real is Scarlett’s father’s controlling attitude and the dark secrets at home. She may be able to escape, but only if she can rely on the one boy who broke her heart.

Each midnight meeting pushes Jesse and Scarlett to confront their secrets and their feelings, but as love blooms, the curse rears its ugly head…

EXCERPT:

~JESSE~
“So you’re the decision maker now?”
He waits too many beats before speaking or maybe not enough. “I took on this role because, believe it or not, I care. I won’t pretend to understand the pain you’ve gone through, and I won’t pretend to understand your connection to this land. I’ve watched you grow up. I know, for you, this farm is like a Band-Aid on cuts that won’t stop bleeding.”
If that was meant to make me feel better, it didn’t. “You’ll never vote for me. You’re biased.”
“I’m not biased.”
For days I’ve been a stick under pressure, being bent too far. Finally, I snap. “I know you told Gran not to take me in after Mom died and to put me in foster care. You told her I was too broken and couldn’t be fixed. I know because I heard you. Tell me now you’re not biased.”
Guilt flashes over his face, and he tries to hide it as he flips through the folder in his hands. “If it helps, that’s why your grandmother set up the tribunal and chose two other people to help make the decision. Majority vote will win, and she believed you’ll rise to the challenge.”
I’m not sure if I respect him or hate him for not denying what we both know is true regarding the foster care. I’m also not sure how I feel that he doesn’t apologize either.
“She chose people who will give you a fair shake,” he continues. “This isn’t a death sentence. It’s a wakeup call. It’s August, and you have until May to prove you’re responsible. You have time. Take it. Prove me wrong.”
A growing sense of purpose takes root within me, and I do my best to funnel my anger and grief into it. “Who, besides you, is on the tribunal?”
If I tell you then I run the risk of you putting on a show for those people. This is your chance to change for the better. Take advantage of it.” Marshall leaves the paperwork on the antique table, shoves his folder back in his leather bag, and stands. “If it’s any consolation, I want you to succeed, but I want you to truly succeed. I won’t vote for you to keep the land unless you show me you understand what it means to run a farm of this magnitude.”
It’s no consolation. That’s him attempting to ease his guilt for when he votes against me.
“I’m sorry for your loss, Jesse. If you need to talk or if you’d like to stop by for a meal, you’re welcome at my house. And if you get tired of being here alone, you can live with us. We have plenty of room.”
I don’t believe any of that, but I nod because doing so will get him out of my home faster. Marshall stares at me for a few more seconds, as if contemplating saying more, but he doesn’t. Instead he walks out, shutting the door behind him.
His engine purrs to life and rocks crack under his moving tires. Then there’s silence. Maddening silence. I drop into Gran’s recliner, lower my head into my hands and close my eyes. I’ve lost Gran, and now I could lose my land. The only thing left that I love. The only thing in my life that brings me peace. “Why, Gran?”
I strain to listen in the silence, and my gut twists that there’s no response. “I miss you.”
Still no response and my head begins to throb. My cell in my back pocket vibrates. I dig it out, expecting to see a text from one of my friends, but I pop my neck to the right at the sight of Glory’s name. You need to stop by tomorrow night.
Me: No
Glory: I know of your grandmother’s plan
Me: So do I
Glory: But I know who the people are who will be deciding your future.
Me—stone cold frozen.
Glory: Stop by tomorrow at nine. I should be wrapping up my last session then.
Me: I won’t be there.
Glory: Yes, you will.



Gritty and real, Only a Breath Apart is a story of hope conjured from pain, strength drawn from innocence, and love earned from self-respect. Beautiful, poignant, and fierce.” ―Kristen Simmons, critically acclaimed author of the Article 5 series

Review: PERFECT MATCH by Zoe May!



My Review: If someone told me to describe this book in only a few words, it would probably be "cute as heck!" This was a joy to read - I was literally having fun, and that's always a sign of a good book. I already know several friends I will be recommending this to, because I want to chat about the twists and turns, and just how cheesetastically good this was. 

Dating, and especially online dating, is a nightmare - and Perfect Match made me laugh and commiserate along with Sophia as she told her tale.. and eventually ended up with her Perfect Match. If only I could be so lucky! This was fun, original, cute, and definitely the perfect read for a snowy evening! 

Cover Lovin': Cute! And classic. 

Recommendation: Stand alone. 

Final Rating: FOUR out of FIVE stars (4/5)!!

Perfect Match
Can you ever find true love online?
Sophia Jones is an expert in all things online dating: the best sites, how to write a decent bio, which questions to ask and the right type of photos to use. The only thing she’s not so great at? Picking the guys…
After sitting through yet another dreadful date with a man who isn’t quite what she expected, Sophia is just about ready to give up on the whole dating scene. But her flatmate, Kate, persuades her to give it one more chance, only this time she must create a profile describing her ‘perfect’ man.
Yes, he must look like Robert Pattinson and needs to own a multi-million pound business, but there are a couple of other deal breakers, too! So, when a guy comes along who ticks every box, surely there’s got to be a catch?
A laugh-out-loud romantic comedy, perfect for fans of Catherine Bennetto and Rosie Blake!

Author Bio –

Review: PROMISES by Aleatha Romig!

 

My Review: This is the perfect ending to this series. It just fits so perfectly, and felt so right. And man, it was certainly a journey to get to this point, so thank goodness this was so satisfying. Honestly, I wasn't even sure I would survive everything up to this - I mean, Aleatha Romig made my heart hurt more than once - heck, more than a dozen times! But I made it, and I'm so glad I did.

There is no way for me to discuss the best parts, my favorite parts, without spoiling this book or the previous ones, and I would never do that to someone. There's something so refreshing and shocking about going into this series blind, and I wouldn't want to deprive anyone of that. So just trust me - you need to read this series. Do yourself a favor and get the Web of Sin trilogy onto your kindles (or any other designated reading device) ASAP!!

Cover Lovin': Fits beautifully with the rest of the series.

Recommendation: You *HAVE* to have read the previous two books first, this is a direct sequel.

Final Rating: FIVE out of FIVE stars (5/5)!!! What an epic finale! I think I might go swoon from being all overly emotional now.

The twisted and intriguing storytelling that you loved in Consequences and Infidelity continues with the epic conclusion of the all-new alpha anti-hero in the dark romance series Web of Sin, by New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig.

Review: SECRETS OF THE STONES, Issue 1 by Sabrina Kidd!



About the Book: A secret worth sharing...

After suddenly awakening, completely alone and with mysterious injuries, Christine has no recollection of who or where she is. She finds herself pursued by dragons, rogue magicians, and an heiress hell-bent on revenge. Through her own instinct and intuition, Christine must try and piece together the story of her life. Who is a friend and who is a foe? Who had she been and who will she become? Sometimes it is only in our most vulnerable moments that we are able to find our true inner strength. [From Amazon.com]

My Review: I love graphic novels, so of course I jumped at the chance to read and review this. And it was definitely a quick and entertaining read. This is only an issue, not a full graphic novel, so it is much shorter than one might expect. And also, for that reason, it's hard to get a full grasp of the story because the more you get into it and the faster you flip through it - the end becomes a pained reminder that you'll have to wait for more.

That said, despite the length, this had a very entertaining and intriguing story. I wanted to know what was going on - it raised questions that had me curious, rather than annoyed like some issues of comics tend to do. And the art is truly beautiful. I love this style, the coloring - I'd gladly keep reading for the art alone, but the story holds its own against it as well.

I also want to throw in how much I appreciate the little shorts at the end. It added a bit of levity and humor right when I was getting a little sad that it was over so soon. Hopefully there will be more to come before long!

Cover Lovin': Very well done, attractive cover.

Recommendation: You'll be eager for the next issue!

Final Rating: THREE POINT FIVE out of FIVE stars (3.5/5)!! A very good start to what seems like it will be an entertaining series, but the length does leave something to be desired.

Release Day: FINDING ALEXEI by Kendall Ryan!

 
He’s bossy, moody, and overprotective. He’s also a pro athlete who needs to focus on winning games and staying out of the headlines. I’m fiercely independent and need a man like I need a second period each month. So when our worlds collide, I never expected him to be the one to jump in and save me. Especially not when my roommate disappears, leaving me with her baby. I’m clueless about babies—and it shows. Good thing Alexei isn’t. With six nieces and nephews and an apparent hero complex, the dude is both sexy and more than capable. It’s a combination that makes it easy to forget we’re just playing house.
