Release Date: March 24

Dear diary,

Once upon a time…

There was a girl with long golden hair who had the bluest, truest eyes that turned white when she cried.

She lived in a kingdom far, far away in a tower made of stone, but her mind was made of glass that she kept sharp as knives.

Where her memories hid behind her darkest doubts.
Her deepest thoughts.
Her diary became the only thing she could rely on.

No one saw through her looking glass.
No one cared.
No one tried.

Until the villain presented himself as the hero in her life.
He took and took and took some more.

With no regret.
With no shame.
With no apology.

The page never turned.
Their story didn’t end.
Tomorrow never came.

His life of debauchery was their journey to nowhere.

She’d give anything to go back in time.
To walk where she had walked.
To see what she had seen.
One step.
One breath.
One day at a time.
Though in the end, “I love you” were just words.

That destroyed us inside.

Candy Ray Sunshine—Yes, that is my real name, thank you very much, Mom and Dad—knew two things.

One, she was going to work her butt off and open her very own coffee shop, even if she had to die doing it.
Two, Banks Valentine was the world’s worst ex-boyfriend in the history of ex-boyfriends. Even if they were only boyfriend and girlfriend for one evening. She wouldn’t sneeze on him even if he was on fire.
***
Banks Valentine also knew two things.
One, he was an immature jerk when he was in high school, and Candy Ray Sunshine probably could open a coffee shop if she put her mind to it. But he still thinks that she should shoot a little higher, anything that gets her the heck out of Kilgore, Texas.
Two, he likes riding bulls. It’s a dangerous job, and when he gets on the back of one of those thousand-pound death machines, he can finally feel his head clear enough that he can think.
***
Candy and Banks would never get along. Not after what he said, and definitely not after what she did.
Then again, neither one of them expected that night to end the way it did, either—the night that both of them refused to talk about the next morning.

Gorgeous, smart, and thoughtful—the more time Mason spends with Maddy, the more he finds himself questioning whether she’s the thing he and his daughter have been missing all along.
But being with Maddy is like playing with fire, and while a little heat might be nice, can he trust her not to burn them both?

*Release Blitz/Review* Southern Chance (Southern Series, #1) by Natasha Madison

Release Date: March 17

Buried secrets never stay hidden in the South.

Kallie
I fell in love with him when I was seven. I scraped my knee, and he helped carry me inside.
Our love story was the talk of the town until a woman told everyone she was pregnant with his baby. The only rational solution was to high tail it out of town and never come back.

My best friend needed a place to hide, and you can’t get much more covert than my family farm, so I came back. For her. It was supposed to be temporary, and I wasn’t supposed to see him, but that’s what happens when you live in a small town where everyone knows each other.

Jacob
Being the sheriff in a small town was never my dream. My father died and my older brother took off, so I had to be the one to look after my mother. I stayed. I fulfilled my duties as a son and I protected my hometown.

My life wasn’t perfect, but I was content. Until I locked eyes with a ghost from my past, Kallie. I thought it was my imagination, it couldn’t be. I loved her most of my life, but now I hated her.

The town gossip mill was going into overdrive. I kept my head down and my mind off of the woman who shattered my heart when she ran away. She didn’t give me a chance to explain, it didn’t matter to her then. I didn’t matter.

A second chance is never promised, but now that mine is right under my nose, I’m not sure I can take it.

*Release Blitz/Review* Maybe Swearing Will Help (SWAT 2.0 Book 3) by Lani Lynn Vale

Ford Spurlock has known Ashe Trammel since they were babies.
He’s also done his level best to stay away from her because every time he gets to within five feet of her, they’re fighting like cats and dogs.
Ashe is the apple of her father’s eye. The motorcycle club princess that was never to be harmed in any way—or touched for that matter. And he’s always resented the fact that she could get away with things that he couldn’t. Things that she then blames on him and he always gets punished for.
Fast forward to adulthood, and Ashe is still off limits. Still driving him insane. Still…beautiful.
She never misses an opportunity to give him hell, either.
That has to be why he agrees to do a photoshoot for KPD SWAT that’ll benefit her charity even when he’d rather shoot himself in the foot with his duty weapon.
***
Ashe never thought he’d agree.
Honestly, she thought she’d ask him, he’d say no, and that’d be the end of it.
She never realized that she’d leave his photo up in her cubicle, and it’d be the last thing that she saw every night as she locked her office door.
When they were kids, Ford used to be that boy that threw dirt at her and pulled her hair.
Now, he’s the same Ford Spurlock, only a whole lot sexier. And a lot harder to say no to.
When he challenges her to one date, she has no other recourse but to agree.
What she didn’t agree to was falling in love with Mr. March. Or wanting to give him everything she had to give.

*Blog Tour/Review* Just One Year by Penelope Ward

JUST ONE YEAR IS LIVE!

 

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.

The beginning of my sophomore year in college was off to a rough start.

On the first day of orientation, I had an altercation with an infuriating British dude in a campus bathroom.

(The ladies’ room was out of order. So, I used the men’s room. Don’t judge.)

I got home later that night and realized that the foreign student we were expecting to rent a room in my parents’ house was allergic to our cat.

So, the spare room went to someone else: Caleb—the British guy from the men’s room.

And so it began…my love-hate story with Caleb Yates. Or was it hate-love in that order?

The guy knew how to push every one of my buttons.

Sometimes I’d email him to express my aggravation and disdain.

He’d actually rewrite my own words and send them back to me.

That was the type of infuriating person Caleb was.

So frustrating.

And…

Sometimes incredibly funny and endearingly sweet.

And hot.

He eventually grew on me, and Caleb soon became one of my best friends that year.

Too bad he was headed back to England soon, so nothing could happen between us—for so many reasons.

I definitely couldn’t fall in love with him, especially since all we had was just one year.

This book was pure LOVE at first “smell”  for me *snickers*.  I absolutely flat out adored Caleb and all his British charm from the get go.  There was no having to make me fall in love with character, it happened effortlessly and instantly.

I loved Caleb and Teagan’s friends to lovers romance.   Just One Year had me laughing out loud and also tugged at my heart strings while being completely swoon worthy in true Penelope Ward fashion.

Both of these characters have troubled pasts and I loved reading how they help each other work through them and watching their story unfold.   This book was fast paced and kept me interested the entire time.  I read this beauty in one sitting which this author seems to have a knack for making me do with just about every single one of her books.  I never want to stop till the very last word!

I can’t wait to see what she gives us next.  Ms. Ward has always and will continue to be a go-to one-click author for me as I am sure to love whatever story she gives us!

 

the day he came backPenelope Ward is a New York Times, USA Today and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author of contemporary romance.

 

She grew up in Boston with five older brothers and spent most of her twenties as a television news anchor. Penelope resides in Rhode Island with her husband, son, and beautiful daughter with autism.

 

With over two million books sold, she is a 21-time New York Times bestseller and the author of over twenty novels. Her books have been translated into over a dozen languages and can be found in bookstores around the world.

*Release Blitz/Review* Great and Precious Things by Rebecca Yarros

Posted on by

How do you define yourself when others have already decided who you are?
Six years ago, when Camden Daniels came back from war without his younger brother, no one in the small town of Alba, Colorado, would forgive him—especially his father.
He left, swearing never to return.
But a desperate message from his father brings it all back. The betrayal. The pain.
And the need to go home again.
But home is where the one person he still loves is waiting. Willow. The one woman he can
never have. Because there are secrets buried in Alba that are best left in the
dark.
If only he could tell his heart to stay locked away when she whispers she’s always loved
him, and always will…
Great and Precious Things is a heart-wrenching story about family, betrayal, and
ultimately how far we’re willing to go on behalf of those who need us most.
B&N | AMAZON | AMAZON UK | AMAZON AU |

“You two are a damned Shakespearean tragedy. It’s slightly entertaining yet incredibly painful to watch.”

This book was beyond words amazing. Oh the feels – all of the feels!

Willow Bradley grew up with the Daniels brothers as a part of her family, not blood but always there. Xander was the older, wiser brother with all of his ducks in a row. Sullivan was the innocent, good brother, and Camden was the black sheep.

After having not been home in over a decade, Camden returns to Alba at the request of a voicemail left by his not always with is father. The same father that blamed him for the death of his younger brother and the love of Willow’s life. The same father that has been losing himself to early onset Alzheimer’s Disease.

Being the town’s black sheep that came home after being gone that long is daunting enough, add in the fact that the reason he is home is to help his father get the DNR order that Xander has denied him, and the whole town is automatically against him.

Secrets and half truths have been spread for years. What happens when the truth comes out?

I feel like I can’t say a whole lot because I absolutely do not want to give anything away. Bottom line – everyone should read this book. You won’t regret it.
