NEW REVIEW & TOP RECOMMENDATION: Moonshot by Alessandra Torre (Read my Review)  
Wow, what an awesome book!!! I read it in one non-stop sitting. It’s a heart-poundingly intense sports romance filled with forbidden love, second chance romance, and even a murder mystery! There were twists and turns that I never saw coming and I have to say the final reveal took me by surprise!!! But at its heart is a SEXY, SWOONY love story that concludes in a beautiful epilogue!! This author is such a talented storyteller. Her writing is ADDICTIVE and especially in the final third of the book, I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!!! A sexy, exciting, and thrilling read! 😀

 
NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT: NINE MINUTES TRILOGY  
#1 Nine Minutes by Beth Flynn — my review.
#2 Out Of Time by Beth Flynn
#3 A Gift Of Time by Beth Flynn — just announced
The highly anticipated third and final book in this dark, gritty, addictive, and unique biker series was announced. It’s very important that you read this series in order. — “On May 15, 1975, fifteen-year-old Ginny Lemon is abducted from a convenience store in Fort Lauderdale by a member of one of the most notorious and brutal motorcycle gangs in South Florida. From that moment on, her life is forever changed. She gets a new name, a new identity and a new life in the midst of the gang… And at the center of it all is the gang’s leader, Grizz: massive, ruggedly handsome, terrifying and somehow, when it comes to Ginny, tender. She becomes his obsession and the one true love of his life.” (If you’re already a fan of the series, be sure to pre-order book 3!!)

DETAILED LIST: NEW RELEASES

 

Moonshot by Alessandra Torre — New Release!!

TOP FAVORITE!! Standalone: The summer that Chase Stern entered my life, I was seventeen. The daughter of a legend, the Yankees were my family, their stadium my home, their dugout my workplace. My focus was on the game. Chase…he started out a distraction. A distraction with sex appeal poured into every inch of his six foot frame. A distraction who played like a God yet partied like a Devil. I tried to stay away. I couldn’t.

Then, the team started losing. Women started dying.
And everything in my perfect world broke apart…

 

Virtually Impossible by Lauren Stewart — New Release!!

Can standalone: “His life is pretty damn perfect. He’s married to a beautiful woman, lives in a luxury apartment, and is prepped to take over the multi-million dollar company his father built. Perfect…except that his wife is madly in love with someone else, his career is meaningless, and he’s forgotten how to live, let alone be happy. But when he hires a new virtual assistant [the heroine], her sharp wit and intelligence leaves him wanting something more. Something real. Something incredible… Two people need to wake up to understand how perfect they are…for each other. If they can’t, any chance either of them have of finding a happily ever after will be virtually impossible.”

She can’t stand to be in the same room with me. Says she’ll never be in my bed. But I’ve never backed down from a challenge and I’m not about to start now. Mark my words—I’ll have her begging for me, and it won’t take ninety days.

Bucolic Newport Cove, where spontaneous block parties occur on balmy nights and all of the streets are named for flowers, is proud of its distinction of being named one the top twenty safest neighborhoods in the US. It’s also one of the most secret-filled.

Then a new family moves to this quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac. Tessa Campbell seems friendly enough to the other mothers, if a bit reserved. Then the neighbors notice that no one is ever invited to Tessa’s house. And soon, it becomes clear that Tessa is hiding the biggest secret of all.

 

The Firework Exploded by by Tara Sivec — New Release!!

Can standalone: “You should get married on the 4th,” they said.
“It will be so romantic,” they said.
Did you know that during a pyrotechnic display, a single firework travels 481 feet per second and can take out a small village? Did you know it can also singe the ball hair off of any man standing within a mile radius of said-pyrotechnic display (and singed ball hair smells a lot like a sh*t-filled baby diaper that’s been lit on fire), and it can make a vintage wedding dress go up in flames like a barn full of dry hay? Yeah, me either…

 

Love Tap by MN Forgy — New Release!!

Standalone: “All I ever wanted was to be a female fighter. Some girls wore pink dresses and makeup, I wore sneakers and bruises. I was a loner, stuck to myself because I was different, until he moved next door…I punched him in the mouth, and he saw me through rose colored glasses from that day on. I had everything I ever wanted. The boy next door, inspiring career… until I didn’t. He hates me. I deserve that. They say you have to fight for what you want. What they don’t tell you is it’ll cost you more than you’re willing to give to reach the top…”

 

Vodka On The Rocks by Lani Lynn Vale — New Release!!

“There are rules to life that one just obeys in order in her attempt stay on the right path. For example: You don’t egg on a drunk woman who’s pissed off at life… Why, you ask? Because they start bar fights, that’s why.

He wasn’t trying to get her into a fight with a group of men who were all twice her size. No, he only intended to give her the confidence to stand up for herself, just a little nudge in the right direction. How the hell was he supposed to know she’d go all Chuck Norris on them and put three of them in the hospital with concussions? He should’ve followed his gut instinct and turned around that first moment he saw her in the bar, but he has never liked following the rules. Why the hell would he start now?”
