Saving Brie {a review}


My name is Laura and I LOVE ROMANTIC SUSPENSE BOOKS!

After having read Saving Ariel, I knew that I was going to continue on with The One I Want series. I knew I was going to get some great suspense, and Saving Brie did not let me down. If you are looking for a strong female lead, a bit of instalove, and a some suspense, then be sure to go grab Saving Brie.

In Saving Brie, we have Brent Calloway who is determined to find a sunken ship. He has a rough idea of where it is, he has the boat to get there, and he has someone to dive with. What he doesn't have is a lot of time, and now someone to captain the boat. That is until he meets Brie Hamilton. She quickly puts him in his place regarding the fact that she is a woman in an industry filled with men. She informs him that she is more than capable of captaining his vessel, and after negotiating the job, she agrees to take on the task. It is after they are on the boat that the attraction starts ramping up for both of them. Then there is Brent's partner, and well he is trying to make his intentions clear as well. Thankfully Brie only has eyes for Brent (and her job). Soon enough the arrive to the coordinates that Brent has, and the diving begins. Can these two work together and put their feelings aside? Or will they end up falling for each other? No matter what, they are going to need to work together because trouble is headed their way.

Oh what to even say about Saving Brie? I mean obviously I enjoyed it. That goes without saying. I will say that Brie and Brent's introduction wasn't my favorite thing in the world, but at the same time it showed how feisty Brie is, and how she's not afraid to speak her mind when it comes to the things she is passionate about. She went toe to toe with Brent when she felt it was necessary. I liked how everything happened on the boat. From the discovery of what they were looking for, to the way things kept happening, to the big suspenseful moment. And oh that moment. That was something.  I mean I did kind of see that coming, but I doubted myself occasionally. Loved Brie and Brent together, and how everything happened with them.

If you are a fan of romantic suspense, you need to read this series! Start with Saving Ariel, as there is a slight tie in, but you will not regret it. If you do read Saving Brie (or Saving Ariel), let me know. I'd love to discuss. Also, keep an eye out for Saving Cate! It is releasing September 21, and it sounds AMAZING!

Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts,
Laura





Treasure hunting leaves little room for romance…

Brie Hamilton has learned to trust logic, not emotion. Fairy tale endings and love at first sight simply don’t exist. Then a sexy historian hires her to captain his research vessel and she starts to question everything—including why she shouldn’t sleep with her boss…

Brent Calloway has spent his career hunting for sunken treasure. Now, the biggest discovery of his life is finally within reach. When he suddenly loses his captain, he needs to scramble fast and find a replacement. He just never expected his new employee to be a woman. Now, the keys to the success of the entire operation—and maybe even his heart—are in her gorgeous, capable hands.

But treasure tends to attract trouble—and in this case, that means treacherous enemies and even a few modern-day pirates. Looks like Brie and Brent will have to fight more than the lure of forbidden desire if they want to find their happily ever after…

Saving Brie is a steamy, instalove, contemporary romantic suspense about love at first sight. It features a protective hero and the smart, feisty heroine who steals his heart.


(Saving Brie was originally published as Brent.)

Did you receive the newsletter from Piper Rayne yesterday? If so then you'll know the news about the Hockey Hotties series! If not, let me fill you in, and then go sign up for their newsletter!

Piper Rayne is releasing 3 more books in the series! That's right, 3 more Florida Fury players are going to get their stories told, and they are going to find their happily ever afters. I wonder what sort of issue the team owner is going to have with these guys?


First up will be Sneaking Around with #34, and that is scheduled to be released on March 8, 2022. What do we know about the book? Not much. But here is what Piper Rayne says: "Secrets from the past. Brother's best friend."


After that comes Second Shot with #76, and that is scheduled for April 19, 2022. Based on the title alone, this is going to be a second chance romance. I'm excited since that is one of my favorite tropes!



The sixth book in the series will be Offside with #55. This one is scheduled for May 31, 2022. Going off what Piper Rayne has said, this is sounding like an age gap!

Their past is complicated. Their present is no picnic, either…


On the surface, Callum Quinn has it all. But on the inside? He’s barely holding himself together. His anxiety is getting the better of him, too…until he finds Violet again. There’s something about the sexy free spirit that comforts him—and makes him long for her in ways that are far outside the friendzone…

 

Violet Thompson is very good at avoiding Havenport’s favorite son. Being a single mom and keeping her farm afloat is stressful enough. The last thing she needs is a run-in with the guy who broke her heart back in high school. Then she finds him puking on her lawn—long story—and everything changes…


Can Violet and Callum find a way to trust love—and each other—again? Or will their second chance at romance end as painfully as their first?

The Newspaper Nanny {teaser}

 


The Newspaper Nanny by Maren Moore is coming on August 27, 2021!





When I stumbled across my dream job in the classified section of my newspaper, I knew it had to be too good to be true.


Turns out it was.


Becoming the nanny for the grumpiest hockey coach in the NHL was more like a nightmare.


Liam Cartright was infuriating, stubborn, and impossible. Oh, and he happened to be my new boss.


I should have signed my resignation with a giant kiss my ass the moment he opened his mouth, but I couldn’t.


I fell for his little girls before I realized it was happening, and my resolve began to weaken.


Our roles were clearly drawn out.


He was the boss, and I was the nanny.


But then we crossed a line.


I wouldn’t lose my job over a chiseled jawline and a few stolen kisses.


I couldn’t. Not when so much was at stake.


But Liam was the one who made the rule book, and I had no choice but to play by his rules.

New Book Announcement from Helena Hunting!





SURPRISE!

Love on the Lake, a steamy and emotional small town standalone romance in the Lakeside series from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting is coming March 15th 2022, and look at this gorgeous cover!




Teagan Firestone has always been the dutiful daughter, especially since her mom died. But as her father finally begins to move on, it’s her turn to do the same. Her destination: Pearl Lake, a close-knit community with an entrepreneurial spirit and secrets of its own.


One of them is Aaron Saunders, who dropped out of college to work construction for Pearl Lake’s upper class. He’s a mystery and has a playboy reputation—that is, until he meets Teagan. Neither of them is looking for love, but in a town this small, it’s hard not to let your heart get involved.  


As their romance heats up, Aaron’s elusive past comes to light and Teagan is there for him, bringing them even closer together. But when Teagan is forced to face her own demons, her inability to accept the support of friends and family threatens the life she’s worked so hard to build.
