LATEST NEW RELEASES, RECOMMENDATIONS, & PRE-ORDERS — WEEK OF November 14, 2016

NEW TOP RECOMMENDATION: Managed by Kristen Callihan (Read my Review)
*SWOOOOON* I LOVED this book! It’s a sexy opposites-attract romance that begins on a plane and is set against the backdrop of a rock band’s tour!! The witty banter kept me laughing, the heart-warming romance kept me swooning, and the healing and hotness rounded out the story so well. To be honest, there’s probably more great banter in the first few chapters than in most whole books!! The hero is this very polished and controlled British businessman who hides his pain beneath his impenetrable facade and the heroine is a sassy, outspoken, and hilarious American girl who is literally his complete opposite and I just LOVED seeing her break through his walls and MELTED over how deeply he fell in love with her!! It can be read as a standalone and I highly recommend getting a copy!

 
NEW TOP RECOMMENDATION: Split by JB Salsbury (Read my Review)
OMG!! What a UNIQUE STORY!!! It explores what happens when a guy with multiple personalities falls in love!! I couldn’t resist reading this and I loved the book!! So basically, due to his deeply twisted and scarring past, the hero had became split into two (hence the title/cover)… one side a gentle caring guy, and the other a fiercely protective but sometimes dangerous guardian. He had no control over when he’d blackout and change to the other guy so, in order to protect those around him, he tried to stay away from any relationships. Until her. When she showed up, everything changed… and both sides of him faced, for the first time ever, falling in love!!! I read it in sitting! It was a SEXY, EDGY, and REFRESHING romance! It was just released so be sure to get a copy here!

 
NEW TOP RECOMMENDATION: Sweet Cheeks by K. Bromberg (Read my Review)
This is the perfect read for fans of SEXY, SWOOOONY second chance romances and Hollywood love stories! The heroine is reunited with her high-school sweetheart who’d broken her heart years ago after he left her to chase his dreams in Hollywood. But what she didn’t know was that leaving her had broken him too and even though he was now a mega-movie star, he never forgot her. When things got complicated in her personal life and she found herself needing a pretend date to her ex’s wedding, he stepped in without question thus throwing them back together for a whole sexy weekend in paradise where they were forced them to face the intense feelings they both still had!

 
NEW TOP RECOMMENDATION: Hold My Breath by Ginger Scott (Read my Review)
I just finished reading this beautiful new release! I wasn’t actually planning to read it today but after reading the prologue, I WAS HOOKED!!!! The beautiful writing and angsty FEELS immediately tugged my heart-strings and I just literally kept reading until the very last page!! Technically, this is a sports romance, but it is so much more than that too. It’s both an incredibly painful and yet heart-warmingly inspiring love story that both surprised me and kept me guessing. I just didn’t want to put it down!! If you’re looking for something new to read, definitely check this book out!!!

DETAILED LIST: NEW RELEASES

 

Split by JB Salsbury — New Release!!

FAVORITE!! Standalone: What happens when a guy with multiple personalities falls in love? — “What do you do when you wake up with no memory of what you did last night? He spent the first half of his life protecting himself from others, but now his own mind is his biggest enemy. He doesn’t know what happens when the blackouts overtake him, but he can recall the feelings — the rage, the confusion, the fear. Thankfully the quiet life he’s found has kept the darkness at bay. Until his boss’s estranged daughter shows up in town, asking questions she shouldn’t and sparking a desire he can’t control…”

 

Managed by Kristen Callihan — New Release!!

FAVORITE!! Can standalone: “I thought I’d hit the jackpot when I was upgraded to first class on my flight to London. That is until HE sat next to me. Handsome as sin, cold as ice. Nothing and no one gets to him. Ever. He’s a legend in his own right, the manager of the biggest rock band in the world, and an arrogant ass who looks down his nose at me. I thought I’d give him hell for one, long flight. I didn’t expect to like him. I didn’t expect to want him. But the biggest surprise? He wants me too. Only in a way I didn’t see coming.

If I accept his proposal, I leave myself open to falling for the one man I can’t manage. But I’m tempted to say yes. Because the real man beneath those perfect suits and that cool façade just might be the best thing that’s ever happened to me. And I just might be the only one who can melt the ice around his heart. Let the battle begin…”

 

Sweet Cheeks by K. Bromberg — New Release!!

FAVORITE!! Standalone: “It all started with the invitation. To my ex-fiance’s new wedding. I should have ignored it. Thrown it away. Set it afire. But I didn’t. I replied. With a plus one… Enter Hayes Whitley. Mega-movie star. The man who has captured the hearts of millions. But I gave him mine years ago. He was my first love. He was my everything. Right until he up and left to chase his dreams without so much as a simple goodbye.

When he showed up out of the blue ten years later, I should have known to steer clear. I should have rejected his offer to take me to my ex’s wedding and told him he was crazy when he suggested we act like a couple to show my ex, it’s true, I could do better than him.

But I didn’t.

And now we’re left wondering if the pieces of the life we once shared still fit together somehow. First loves are hard to forget. The question is, do we want to forget? Or do we risk the chance and see what happens next?”

 

Heat Wave by Karina Halle — New Release!!

Standalone: The last thing she needed was to move back in with her parents. So when a window of opportunity opens for her – running a kitchen at a small Hawaiian hotel – she’d be crazy not to take it. The only problem is, the man running the hotel drives her crazy… It doesn’t matter that he’s got dark brown eyes, a tall, muscular build, and a deep Australian accent that makes your toes curl. What does matter is that he’s a grump. Kind of an asshole, too. And gets under her skin like no one else.

But the closer she gets to him, the more she realizes she may have pegged him all wrong [and] soon their relationship becomes utterly intoxicating. There’s just one major catch. The two of them together would incite a scandal neither her, nor her family, would ever recover from…

 

Collecting the Pieces by L.A. Fiore — New Release!!

Standalone: At fifteen I fell in love. He took the abandoned, lonely girl I had been and made me whole. His love was a pure and unconditional love that made every day better than the last…a fairy tale of my very own.

But this story isn’t about him. It’s about the man I meet after the fairy tale goes to hell. A cocky, arrogant man who does as he pleases and makes no excuses for it. He irritates me, downright pisses me off, but he also brings me back to life… This is my story of finding love twice—the first when I needed it most and the second when I never saw it coming.

 

Consolation Prize by Linda Kage — New Release!!

Can standalone: “Don’t you just hate it when someone destroys all your carefully made plans? I mean, I had goals: college, a future, and an image of myself I wanted the world to see. My life was stacked into these precisely placed blocks. But then Colton Gamble came along and knocked them all askew.

I hated how he knew how attractive he was too, the shallow, full of himself, doesn’t take no for an answer, too flirty, too cocky, extremely irritating jerk. The boy had all the qualities that turned me off. Or so I thought. One night he wasn’t quite the brainless, overconfident jerk I assumed he always was. One night, he took care of me when I was at my lowest. He opened up to me and made me open up to him…”

 

Since I Fell For You by Bella Andre — New Release!!

Can standalone: She doesn’t need a bodyguard. Unfortunately, her three brothers don’t agree. So when Mr. Way-Too-Handsome shows up bound and determined to protect her, whether she wants him there or not, sparks definitely start to fly. Because she has absolutely no intention of falling for the bodyguard she never wanted in the first place…

He has vowed to do whatever it takes to protect her from harm. The only problem is that he’s never been hired to work for anyone so beautiful, or brilliant, before. Between trying to keep up with her―and working like hell to keep from kissing her breathless―he’s up against the most difficult challenge of his life. Especially when it turns out that the passion, and connection, between them is hotter than anything he’s ever known…

 

This Is Our Story by Ashley Elston — New Release!!

Standalone:
No one knows what happened that morning at River Point. Five boys went hunting. Four came back. The boys won’t say who fired the shot that killed their friend, Grant; the evidence shows it could have been any one of them.

Kate Marino’s internship at the DA’s Office isn’t exactly glamorous. Then the DA hands her boss the biggest case her small town has ever seen… Kate has personal reasons for seeking justice for Grant. As she investigates, she realizes that nothing about the case—or the boys—is what it seems…

 

His to Cherish by Stacey Lynn — New Release!!

Can standalone: “She arrives home from her job at a middle-school library expecting another quiet evening—until she hears the screams for help through her living room window. As the first witness to a terrible accident involving two students, she doesn’t anticipate how her own life will be irrevocably changed by the father of one of the boys. In the wake of tragedy, she’s the only one who seems to understand his grief. She’s a survivor, too—and she knows that there are brighter days ahead…

As a single father, he worked his entire life to provide a stable home for his son. Without him, he feels the deepest despair [but] the one thing that keeps him going is his connection with the woman who tried to save his son…”

 

Tied to His Betrayal by Stacey Kennedy — New Release!!

Can standalone: “He can’t live without supreme control. A self-made billionaire, he’s rich enough to get anything he wants, yet he’s still haunted by a broken relationship.

Five years ago, he let her go because he knew he could never give her what she truly wanted: his heart. But the moment she walks back into his life, bruised and beaten, he blames himself. To make good on his betrayal, he vows to help her heal—in and out of the sheets…”

 

Faithful Addiction by Kennedy Layne — New Release!!

Can standalone: He’s a former Marine and her new bodyguard, but they have a past… “He needed a break from the bloodshed he’d witnessed time and again during his last combat tour. She had spent the last three months recovering from a brutal hit and run… Another vicious attempt on her life proves their suspicions to be true and her brother takes matters into his own hands by hiring a security firm to look after her… He doesn’t like surprises, so walking into the office to find an old family friend desperate for a favor certainly doesn’t make his morning. Neither does discovering a cold-blooded murderer is after the one woman who had once meant everything to him…

 

Rescuing Harley by Susan Stoker — New Release!!

Can standalone: When he offers to fill-in at a friend’s skydiving club, he doesn’t suspect he’ll meet a woman who will change his life—and he definitely doesn’t expect her to save it.

She’s earned his complete gratitude, and even more, sexual interest… Until she disappears without a trace.

With her missing, a happy ending might not be in the cards for the man who loves her—especially when he becomes the main suspect.

Can standalone: Her life destroyed by a stalker, she starts anew and joins the exclusive Shadowlands club. Unconvinced of her claims that she can overcome her fear of big men without help, Master Z gives her a time limit. And she is improving—until she hears the stalker is out of prison. Now her time limit is up, and the Masters will intervene, which is okay—as long as whoever helps her is short. Okay, sweet and gentle would be good, too. But two Doms? Dangerously experienced and dauntingly powerful cousins?
No way.

 

Fractures in Ink by Helena Hunting — New Release!!

Can standalone: Waitressing at a seedy strip club isn’t ideal, but it pays her tuition. She doesn’t need distractions. Especially not the one that comes in the form of a hot-as-sin tattoo artist who works across the street from her apartment.

At least for now.

Standalone: “When you’re a rock god, fame and fortune are your two best friends, but they can be fickle bitches. Everyone wants a piece of me and I have no clue how to deal with it all.

That’s why I need her. She got me out of a bit of a jam once, and I know she can do it again. The only problem is that she doesn’t want anything to do with me…”

Probably too close. I discover that he’s not so perfect after all, but it doesn’t matter. I’m falling for him, even though he runs so hot and cold. I know someday he’s going to break my heart. And I’m going to let him…
