Watch Me Breathe {cover reveal}

 



C.E. Johnson has revealed the cover
for Watch Me Breathe!



Releasing July 9, 2021

She’s a widow. And I’m not what I would consider a good role model for her young child. 

It’s been a long road for me. I’ve been plagued with bad decisions and grief. You could say life sucker punched the wind right out of me.

Just like it did to the woman in the car that spun into the ditch right before my eyes. I helped calm her down until the ambulance came, and assumed I’d never see her again.

Judging by her wide eyes and the soda that poured into my lap when Montana Hutchinson delivered the drinks to my table at the town diner, I would guess she believed the same thing.

I thought we could be friends. After all, we have more in common than even she realizes. 

But it seems Tana happens to be a magnet for trouble. 
And I happen to be the kind of guy that can’t sit back and watch the danger unfold around her.  

I’ll do anything to protect her and her daughter.

But every day I spend with her gets harder to push down the feelings growing inside of me.

Being with Tana not only proves I’m capable of love again. 

I can breathe again.

Happiness isn’t something that everyone gets the privilege to have.

And there’s no way I’m about to let anyone take it away from me again.

I’ll honor my heritage but I will not honor the path that is set out for me. The life that my father lives is not for me. I will do anything in my power to walk away from that life, and that apparently includes getting married in Vegas after a night of drinking.

Hold Me Now {cover reveal}

 

Release Date: October 26


A brand new firefighter series from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!


He’s my new roommate.
I can’t stand him, and he can’t stand me.

Russell Dane thinks he’s all that. Maybe’s he’s so hot he should come with a too-hot-to-handle sign, but he drives me crazy. Not the good kind of crazy either.

He thinks women shouldn’t be firefighters, he’s obnoxiously overprotective, and I can’t stand him. Unfortunately, my body is not getting the memo, but I’m stronger than a few confused hormones. Right?

It wouldn’t be so bad if we didn’t have to work together, and if he wasn’t my boss. It definitely wouldn’t be so bad if he hadn’t gone and kissed me.

Russel & Paisley’s story is perfect for readers who love small town romance, hotshot firefighters, sassy tomboy heroines, roommate romance, frenemies to lovers, hate to love, slow burn, emotional romance with a dash of angst, plenty of steam and swoon, and a broody, protective hero.

The Nanny and the Nerd {cover reveal}

 


Krista Sandor has revealed the cover
for The Nanny and the Nerd!


Releasing on July 29, 2021

Photographer: 6:12 Photography
Cover Designer: Najla Qamber Designs 



Three things NOT to do when nannying for a video gaming mogul (aka the hottest nerd on the planet):
#1 Do not get lost in his dreamy green eyes.
#2 Do not salivate over his rock-hard abs.
#3 No matter what happens, do not fall for his super-nerdy dirty talk!


Penny Fennimore is not winning at life. An aspiring writer with a monster-sized case of writer's block, she's got bills to pay and barely a dime to her name.
Enter the exclusive Nanny Match Agency and an opportunity to make bank.


The job: A cushy, live-in nanny position caring for tech billionaire Rowen Gale's six-year-old niece.
The problem?


Her hot nerd of a boss!


They're opposites in every way. He's the king of hi-tech, and she uses a flip phone from 2002. She's not even sure he's 100% human. With his muted expression, the man might as well be one of the robots from his video games until their eyes meet, and the attraction meter explodes.


She's got to put the kibosh on her libido. But the universe doesn't always play nice.


When Mr. Robot-Bedroom-Eyes goes MIA, she marches up to his fancy-pants video gaming company to give him a piece of her mind--which doesn't go as planned.


Instead, she spies a video game storyboard. It's a hot mess, and she can't help but dive and rewrite it.
Did anyone ask for her opinion? That's a no!
The positive? She's writing!


The negative? Her boss needs her to keep it up. Turns out, this video game requires a complete overhaul, and she's the only one who can give him what he wants.


Now, she's not only caring for his niece. She's with him morning, noon, and night.


And that's where it gets complicated.


When he looks at her, she gets a glimpse of what's behind his hardened veneer. And being with this man feels right, like the forever kind of right.


Her heart is on the line.


Could this nanny match be the match that changes everything, or will it be game over for the nanny and the nerd?

Hidden Harbor {cover reveal}

 

Emma Renshaw has revealed the cover for Hidden Harbor!

Releasing on October 19, 2021


Cover Designer: Hang Le
Photographer: Britt & Bean



Run or die. It was a simple decision.

Reyna had no choice but to escape her life and start somewhere new. A place where she'd finally feel safe. She fled, plunging straight into the depths of the unknown with only a hope she would land safely. She never would have expected to land straight into Everett's arms.

Fight or flight. It was instinct.

Everett was ordered to flee, but it was his instinct to fight. His DEA team was being hunted and taken out one by one. Now, there were only two left and his boss ordered him to take leave. A few weeks on the beach of his hometown didn't exactly sound like paradise, especially not with a killer on the loose. He vowed he'd find who was taking out his team, even if it defied orders. He'd fight.

He didn't find peace on the beach. He found Reyna. A woman on the run. His family took her under their wing, but he wasn't so quick to trust the woman with a boat-full of secrets. A gorgeous roommate that surprised him at every turn was the last thing he needed.

It was impossible for them to deny the sparks igniting between them. As they get lost in their passion, a killer lurks waiting to strike and take everything away.

Something About You {a review}


Something About You by J. Nathan is now available! This new adult romance features two college students who could not be more opposite. It also involves a little blackmailing between our hero and heroine. So be prepared for that!

Something About You takes place at Cranmore University in Colorado. It is there that we first meet our characters. It is the start of a new school year, and Shay is getting settled into the dorms. The very first night there, she is greeted by the neighbor playing their music extremely loud. So she goes over and asks them to turn it down. That doesn't happen. But it is at this moment when she meets Kason for the first time. That introduction goes about as well as you can imagine. Needless to say the music becomes even louder. Fast forward a bit, and it turns out Kason is in the same physics class as Shay. She avoids him like the plague. A bit later, Shay attends a party with her roommate. Well it turns out that party is at Kason's. Shay drinks more than she should, and ends up crashing at the house. In a bed. With Kason. She's mortified. Kason leads her to believe that something happened between them, and he has it on video. Kason tells her he'll delete the video IF she tutors him in physics. And that is where this opposites attract romance begins.

Now it's been forever and a day since I've been in college, but life in the dorms doesn't really change much. So reading that Shay's experience with her neighbor had me chuckling a little bit. I found myself really enjoying the relationship between Kason and Shay. From the first impression, to the avoidance, to the blackmailing, to the hate, to the shift in their relationship, to what it ultimately becomes. I also found myself rooting for their relationship to work out. I mean a geek and a snowboarder? That deserves cheering on! Especially with all that Shay has been through in her life. She hasn't had it easy at all, so for someone to come along and sweep her off her feet? Yes. Just yes. Granted it isn't all a walk in the park. Oh no. These two have their moments where things are not all hunky dory, and you start to wonder if they'll get their HEA. All that Shay and Kason went through though was worth it for their relationship to become what it does. I was all in on this book, and could not put it down. Also, I am seriously hoping that J. Nathan writes another book featuring Kason's sister. I need that book!

If new adult romances featuring an athlete, a geek, the opposites attract trope, and/or the hate to love trope are things you enjoy, then go pick up Something About You!

Thank you for reading my thoughts,
Laura



Something About You by J. Nathan is now live!


Kason
I'm what you call a god, a superstar, a winner.

Being a professional snowboarder is my purpose in life.

I know exactly how to get what I want and I'm good at most everything I do.

I'm only at Cranmore University to appease my parents.

But, if I want to graduate, I need to pass physics.

And, since failing is not an option, blackmailing a nerd who hates me is my last resort.

Shay
I'm what some call a geek, a nerd, a loser.

And I don't care.

I know who I am.

I know where I come from.

And, I know exactly where I'm going.

That's why I'm at Cranmore University.

To get my degree and begin my life.

Only, that plan gets quickly derailed thanks to an unbecoming video, a blackmailing snowboarder, and his ex who's hell bent on making my life miserable.

They say everyone comes into your life for a reason.

What happens when that person is the opposite of what you want...

But exactly what you need?

Red Thorns {a review}

OH MY WORD! I was not prepared for Red Thorns by Rina Kent. I mean, I knew the general premise of the book but yeah. Not prepared. 

How to even describe Red Thorns...Sebastian, our male lead, is the captain of his university's football team, and is a popular person. He is also the grandson of a former senator. His family is well known. Sebastian also has a dark side, but he tries his best to keep it in check. He's doing well until he accepts a bet that involves Naomi. Naomi is a bit of a loner, she is asocial, an artist, a college student, and even though she hates every minute of it she's also a cheerleader. Naomi also struggles with events from her past, and the fact that she has no clue who her father is. Anyway one day Reina (the head cheerleader) comes up with this plan to eventually hurt Naomi, and she's enlisting Sebastian to take the lead. And Sebastian decides to go for it. What starts as a game of cat and mouse quickly turns into more. Naomi quickly becomes more to Sebastian. And Red Thorns tells that story. Red Thorns also has a secondary storyline going on regarding Naomi's father, and who he is. Red Thorns is the first part of a duet, so the book does end on a cliffhanger. And what a cliffhanger it is.

When I read the note, at the beginning of the book, from Rina Kent I have to admit I was a bit nervous. I can handle some dark romance, but the fact that this had consensual non-consent was new for me. I didn't know what to make of it at first. But as the story progressed, it was steamy scenes between two consenting adults, and their choices are their choices. No one else is getting hurt. While that was a lot for me to initially taken, that was just a small part of the story. There is also the lingering thought of "when is this bet/dare going to be revealed?" and "how will Naomi handle the news?". Then, when that was revealed, oofta. Yeah. That happened. Also, what does Reina and her crew have against Naomi? I'm not understanding that relationship. Moving away from Sebastian and Naomi though, who is Akira? I mean other than Naomi's penpal. I have thoughts on that, but will have to wait for book 2 for answers. Then there is Naomi's mom, their relationship, mom's health issues, things from mom's past, and mom's business. How is this all going to play out? Oh, and that black van that Naomi thought was following her? Um, yeah, what's up with that? One last thing, Reina! I need to go back and read Yellow Thorns to know her origin story, but I am also really hoping that Black Thorns answers a question for me. I really enjoyed the book, and actually liked it more than I thought I might given the darkness of the relationship between Sebastian and Naomi. I am eagerly anticipating Black Thorns so that I can know how this all ends. I will say, I chose Red Thorns because it was sports romance, but that was such a minor part in this new adult romance.

If you enjoy dark romance, the, Red Thorns to your TBR list! Just make sure to have Black Thorns on hand so you can dive in immediately. I was not so lucky, so I'm sitting here waiting for July 8.

Thank you for reading my thoughts,
Laura

A bet turned into a disaster.

Sebastian Weaver is the star quarterback and the college’s heartthrob.

Rich. Handsome. Bastard.

Everyone’s attention flocked toward him and all the girls dreamed to be with him.

Not me.

At least, not until he made a move on me.

See, I thought I was stronger than Sebastian’s charms.

I thought I could survive being his target.

I thought wrong.

Little did I know that he will make my most twisted fantasies come true.

Fantasies I didn’t know existed...
