My Vegas Groom {a review}



My Vegas Groom is the third full length book in the Greene Family series by, the fabulous writing duo, Piper Rayne.

If you read My Almost Ex, then you know what happened at the end of that book. You know that Nikki went to Vegas for a girls weekend, and wound up married to professional MMA fighter, Logan Stone. Nikki remembers almost none of it, and is ready to run at the first opportunity. So imagine her surprise when Logan arrives in Sunrise Bay! Logan is a fighter, and he's fighting for this marriage.

I cannot say enough good things about My Vegas Groom! This was definitely one of my favorites. I loved how Logan was fighting for the relationship. He knew that he and Nikki had a connection. But until she could see that herself, he would try to show her bits and pieces. Once again the grandmas were up to their antics, and I couldn't help but chuckle through that entire scene. Oh those ladies! Nikki has a lot to work through, and you could feel the internal battle that she was dealing with. The inability to trust and constantly being on edge was getting tiring for her. I don't blame her one bit for being guarded. Then there was Logan, who just wants to love her, spend time with her, and show her how amazing she is. He sees his forever, and she lives in Sunrise Bay. Can we talk about Logan's manager for a moment? Ugh. He's the worst. Same with Logan's ex. Logan's Mom though? She's fabulous.


Thank you for reading my thoughts,

Waking up next to a stranger wearing a wedding ring was not on the itinerary.

I came to Las Vegas for a quick girl’s trip, but somehow ended up a married woman. What I thought would stay in Vegas followed me back to my small town of Sunrise Bay, Alaska.

Of course, my new husband—MMA champion fighter, Logan Stone—couldn’t find me alone at my house to tell me he wants to give our impromptu nuptials a shot. He has to tell me in front of my entire family and half the town. 

The two of us couldn’t be more opposite, but he offers me a deal I can’t refuse which involves me pretending we’re happily married for three months. Yeah, a lot of things can change in that short amount of time, most importantly catching feelings for a man whose lifestyle I despise.

Fallen Jester {promo}


Hello my fellow romance readers,

Fallen Jester just released today! This is the fifth book in the Tin Gypsy MC series, and I cannot wait to read it! I'm absolutely hooked on this series and the characters.

Now I haven't had the opportunity to read it yet, but it is waiting for me on my kindle. When time finally allows, I will be reading Noble Prince and then Fallen Jester. That's right, I'm behind on the series, which so isn't the norm for me. But I will be all caught up by the time Tin Queen releases in September.

So please stay tuned for my thoughts on both Noble Prince and Fallen Jester. 

Thanks,
Laura




Fallen Jester by Devney Perry is now live!

  

Leo Winter loves his life. He works when he needs money. He rides when he craves freedom. He frequents the local bar when he wants a good time. The Tin Gypsies might be a memory, but the bachelor life he lived with his motorcycle club still suits him fine. So when a one-night stand surprises him at a family barbecue and claims she's pregnant with his child, he's certain he's died and gone to hell.

Cassandra Cline took one night off from her structured life. One. And now her wild fling with the local bad boy has turned her life sideways. Her dreams and academic career are circling the drain, and none of it would have happened if she'd stayed far, far away from Leo.

Except avoiding him is impossible, especially when she's forced to move home to Clifton Forge, Montana. And he refuses to leave her side when a series of strange accidents put her and their baby at risk. But are they accidents? Or is she standing in the middle of a battlefield she doesn't understand?

Her only allies are people she barely knows. And a man who has the potential to steal her heart.

If only he'd stop playing the fool.

Wild Ride {a review}


Oh my heart! We're returning to Montana and the Rykers! Not only that, we're getting together with the Wildes. Yep, those would be the same Wildes that are rivals with the Rykers.

Wild Ride is the latest release by Kim Loraine, and this is the first full length book in the new Wilde Horse Ranch series! It is kicking off by giving Sera Ryker her HEA! Sera is in Vegas for a promotional event for her family's reality tv show. It is there that she runs into Sutton Wilde. After one wild night, these two wind up married. Not only that, but their marriage has hit all the news sources. There's no annulling this marriage, at least not for the next 30 days. Otherwise it would do damage to the show, and Sera doesn't want to hurt her family.

Now, I loved every minute of the Ryker Ranch series, so I had high hopes for Wild Ride. Wild Ride did not disappoint. Sera and Sutton are amazing together. I loved reading their journey towards their HEA. I loved that we went back to the Ryker Ranch, and got to "see" all those familiar faces. I mean I knew that would happen since this is kind of a crossover, but still. I also enjoyed learning about the past between the Rykers and the Wildes. Witnessing the relationship between Sera and Sutton change was amazing. I mean they've always had an interest in each other, so it was only natural that that attraction would grow. I just loved every single moment. And now, I'm really curious about who is getting their story told next. Is it July yet?

I am loving these contemporary western/cowboy romances that Kim Loraine is creating. If cowboy/western romances are something you are in to, then I highly recommend Wild Ride. But I do suggest starting with the Ryker Ranch series first, so that you history of the characters. (psst: Saddle Up, aka Ryker Ranch #1, is currently a free download on Amazon, so go grab it.)

Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts,


If you'd like to read the teaser for Wild Ride, please scroll a bit further. There are also links to connect with Kim Loraine, add the book to your Goodreads list, and (if you want to) links to purchase the book.


Wild Ride by Kim Loraine is now live!


I have thirty days to make my wife fall in love with me.

The biggest rivalry in Sunrise, Montana is the feud between the ranch families of the Rykers and the Wildes. And it's only grown stronger over the years.

So what happens when a Wilde and a Ryker wake up in Vegas, in the same bed, hungover, and...married?

Sutton Wilde and Sera Ryker are in for one Wild Ride.

Bucket List Rule #1: Be careful who finds your list.

 

Oops.

 

 As the future CEO of my grandmother’s fashion empire, I’m not supposed to want to design a line of fancy dresses for girls with special needs. But when I pull out all the stops and present my vision to my grandmother, she agrees to let me try on one very questionable condition.

 

The condition?

 

I have to complete every item on the bucket list I wrote in college.

 

Challenge accepted.

 

Only, this is the same bucket list that includes going on a date with a hot hockey player, riding a horse, kissing in front of the Eiffel Tower…oh, and finding a husband.

 

The first one is where NHL player Eli Lawson comes in.

 

***

When my matchmaking mother sets me up with a date for my cousin’s wedding, I tell her the only thing I can…that I’m bringing my girlfriend.

 

Except, I don’t have one.

 

And I certainly don’t have someone who will spend a week with me in Copper Creek, Montana for the wedding festivities. 

 

When workaholic Nala Johnson wins a date with me at a charity auction, I think I’ve found the perfect solution to my problem. Even better when she tells me about her bucket list. Because I’m just the man to help her with it.

 

I mean, how difficult can it be to find her a husband?

Cocky Gamer {a review}



Happy Sunday everyone!

Today Cocky Gamer by Lauren Helms is available! This book is part of the Cocky Hero Club. It features a missed connections and a long distance romance.

Ben is a professional video game player who is starting to consider retirement. With that comes what happens next for him in regards to a career. Right now though he's freelancing with a video game company. They have him doing voice over work, and he's enjoying it.

Kelly is an admin assistant, and she's miserable at her current company. She's in need of a change and is struggling to find something she is passionate about. That is until her friend has a job opening at her animal rescue.

Ben has traveled out to California (from Chicago) to start his voice over job, and is at the Melting Moon Café with his friend Garland. While there a couple is having a disagreement, and suddenly another woman comes crashing into that couple spilling her coffee everywhere. She offers her apologies and then quickly exits the building. Ben is curious about that mystery woman.  She definitely made an impression upon him in that short time. Ben runs into the mystery woman again a little bit later at Club Punch, but they never exchange phone numbers. So much continues to happen that thwarts any plans that Ben has for connecting with Kelly. 

Cocky Gamer was FABULOUS. I have not read any of the Cocky Bastard books, nor any of the books from the Cocky Hero Club, but damn if I don't want to now! This story was just missed connection after missed connection. Then when things finally started happening, there was issues with communication. Yet there was something that just kept pushing Ben and Kelly together. They were meant to be. And I absolutely loved this book! I want more of these two, and all the side characters.

If you're looking for a relatively quick, easy read that has plenty of romance then go read Cocky Gamer by Lauren Helms. Trust me!

Thank you for reading my thoughts,
