COVER REVEAL: Whore by Willow Aster

We are so excited to share the cover of WHORE by Willow Aster with you! A contemporary romance/suspense scheduled for release on December 26th! Mark your calendars!!!

“I need a reason to exist.”
Beautiful, intelligent, independent, strong-willed, wealthy—Lilith Fontenot seems by all appearances, to have it all. But that’s not how the highest paid prostitute in New Orleans sees herself.
A stain on society. A scourge. A waste. Outsider. Prisoner…
Any idyllic dream of the normal life she may have once imagined, Lilith buried long ago. Her only plan now is survival.
But mob boss Nico Santelli and community center owner Soti Christos have not given up on Lilith. Each has his own very specific, very opposing, plans for her, and neither will rest until it becomes a reality.
WHORE is a singularly bracing take on an ancient tale of tireless love, betrayal, and the possibility of redemption.

Willow Aster is the author of True Love Story, In the Fields, Maybe Maby, Fade to Red, and the upcoming release, Whore. Willow loves nothing more than writing the day away—anywhere will do.

REVIEW: Hooking Up by Helena Hunting


OUR REVIEW:

I super duper enjoyed this novel. It read like a movie that I was laughing at or hiding behind my hands or face palming or falling in love with.

I swear I was all over the place. I haven't despised a character as much as Alexander. And I haven't enjoyed the romance and comedy of two characters like Lex and Amie in a while. But I swear the angst (when I wasn't fanning myself because of the mega hot scenes) was killer. I can't tell you how many times I had to take a quick breather because I was either furious or stressed to the max. Thankfully, Helena Hunting made Amie into a kickass mother fucker who totally kicked ass at all times *fist bump*

Also thankfully, she made Lex, Lex. So tender and wonderful and filthy mouthed and magnificently hot and total book boyfriend material. 

I love these two together and can't wait to see which characters she writes next in this series.

Available on Amazon.

Synopsis:


Amalie Whitfield is the picture of a blushing bride during her wedding reception–but for all the wrong reasons. Instead of proclaiming his undying love, her husband can be heard, by Amalie and their guests, getting off with someone else. She has every reason to freak out, and in a moment of insanity, she throws herself at the first hot-blooded male she sees. But he’s not interested in becoming her revenge screw.
Mortified and desperate to escape the post-wedding drama, Amalie decides to go on her honeymoon alone, only to find the man who rejected her also heading to the same tiny island for work. But this time he isn’t holding back. She should know better than to sleep with someone she knows, but she can’t seem to resist him.
They might agree that what happens on the island should stay on the island, but neither one can deny that their attraction is more than just physical.

Filled with hilariously scandalous situations and enough sexual chemistry to power an airplane from New York City to the South Pacific, Hooking Up is the next standalone, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy from Helena Hunting, the New York Times bestselling author of the Pucked series and Shacking Up.

October 2017 Favorites


Another late favorites post? Yep. 
All I can say is parenting is hard, yo. Parenting is hard.

Below are some of our favorites from last month. If you see something you like, click on the cover and it'll take you to Amazon for more information. Only 2 more weeks until Thanksgiving break..can't wait!



The Final Fight by J.B. Salbury (from our review:):  "I liked them so much that I couldn't stand the heart hurts I knew I'd encounter...and I did encounter them. I think I had to tell myself to just breathe through those sections because they were hard." 

Move The Stars by Jessica Hawkins (from our review:): "Even though I don't want the torture of waiting for another book of Lake and Manning, I will truly miss the experience of reading about their lives now that it's over."

The Ghostwriter by Alessandra Torre (from our review): "There are so many little things--Torre's attention to detail, her pacing, the humorous moments at just the right time--combined with the plot, cold characterization of Helena juxtaposed with the warmth of her ghostwriter, and the inner turmoil that made this such a rich reading experience and I'm so glad that Alessandra Torre took a chance to write something like this. This character, Helena, wasn't always easy to read or like but I came to appreciate her plight and haven't stopped thinking about her since I finished the novel."

Still by Kennedy Ryan (from our review): " I loved that Kennedy didn't have her characters ever shy away from tough or uncomfortable conversations. And I love that she had them trust each other enough that they could have those conversations. "

Forever Right Now by Emma Scott (from our review): " ...she always gives me interesting characters and I know that it's going to pack an emotional punch. Forever Right Now has both--characters who I felt invested in and a journey to their HEA that gave me a strong case of the feels. Seriously, who tears up at the HEA?! Apparently I do.."

Ruthless King by Meghan March (from our review): " Their dynamic was like my kryptonite--her spitfire attitude matching up against his alpha-scary-badassery was so damn entertaining. I cheered on her every defiant move and felt for her when she found herself melting against him. GAHHHH. And that ending?!! Consider me hooked.."

Happy November you guys. We'll be back at the end of the month to give our last set of favorites before we hit you with our year end list. Happy reading~

REVIEW: A Little Too Late by Staci Hart



LITTLE LATE BANNER BT.jpg

"A Little Too Late came right on time. Five stars!"-Brittainy C. Cherry, Amazon #1 Bestselling Author

A Little Too Late, an all-new romantic standalone from Staci Hart is available NOW!

OUR REVIEW:

After finishing A THOUSAND LETTERS, I hoped that we'd see more of Charlie. He'd been done so wrong and I was hoping vengeance would be his. 

Honestly, it didn't go down quite like I thought it would and I'm so glad it didn't because instead I met Hannah-- the kindest, most understanding person ever. Hannah has got to be one of the sweetest heroine's Staci Hart has written. She was different and I liked that. She wasn't snarky or  cracking me up with her humor; she was a little quieter, calmer, thoughtful and quick to try to be understanding. She was exactly what Charlie needed and he didn't even know it. Hannah didn't either...until the door opened to her new job and their connection seemed natural and easy and right.

I enjoyed that this novel had a quiet sweetness to it and so I was going along with it, enjoying it, and then kablaaaam! The shit hit the fan and daaaamn suddenly all my emotions were all over the place. I loved it; loved how Staci Hart shook things up.

I also loved how much of the Dutch culture she included...and the ending. How she worked out the end and the family roles the characters took on was something you don't get to read about in romance very often (please do more of it!). This was a great weekend read and has me longing for Dutch pastries, bread and cheese, and snow and crackling fires.

A Little Too Late by Staci Hart

Publishing Date: October 24th, 2017

Genre: Contemporary Romance

I wasn't supposed to fall in love with the nanny.
When my wife left, she took the illusion of happiness with her, and I've been caught in a free fall ever since. For nine long months, I've been fighting to figure out how to be a single dad, how to be alone.
For nine long months, I've been failing.
When Hannah walked through the door, I took my first breath since I'd found myself on my own. She slipped into our lives effortlessly, showing me what I've been missing all these years. Because Hannah made me smile when I thought I'd packed the notion of happiness away with my wedding album.
She was only supposed to be the nanny, but she's so much more.
The day my wife left should have been the worst day of my life, but it wasn't. It was when Hannah walked away, taking my heart with her.

Excerpt:

CHARLIE The next morning, I was up and in my office before anyone was awake, attacking my work with newfound enthusiasm and a plan in mind. Because I wanted to feel like I’d felt the night before in the kitchen again, and there was only one way to get that back. Today, I would take a few breaks and be present. Today, I would change, work be damned. Today would mark the first real attempt. Because change wouldn’t happen on its own. I had to make it happen. And to make it happen, I would have to put boundaries in place, starting with my weekends. I checked the clock around eleven that morning and closed my laptop, pushing away from my desk and heading up the stairs in search of my children. When I rounded the corner into the kitchen, I found them sitting at the table with their lunches. And when they saw me, their smiles validated my grand plans with unwavering certainty. “Hey, guys,” I said, smiling back as I walked over to them, ruffling Sammy’s hair when I passed him. “Hi, Daddy,” he said. Maven’s mouth was full, so she just waved, and Hannah smiled at me from the island where she was setting up a spread for sandwiches. I snagged a grape off Maven’s plate and popped it into my mouth. She handed me another, which I accepted. “Thanks, pumpkin.” “Are you done working?” Sammy asked hopefully. “’Fraid not, bud. But I thought I’d come have lunch with you. Is that okay?” “Yeah! Want a Nilla Wafer?” “Psh, obviously. And I thought we could play for a little bit before I have to get back to work. What do you say?” He nodded, grinning. “We can play trucks! You be the bulldozer and I’ll be the tractor and Maven can be the monster truck and Hannah can be the ambulance because she helps people.” “Perfect,” I said on a chuckle. A burst of color caught my eye. A vase on the windowsill behind the table held a spray of red and orange tulips. “Those are beautiful,” I said, gesturing to them. “Where did they come from?” “Oh, I picked them up this morning,” Hannah said with that ever-present smile. “Feeling homesick?” “Always a little. But I love having fresh flowers in the house, something bright and delicate and alive. Well, maybe not alive anymore, but it feels alive, doesn’t it?” “It does,” I said as I moved to her side. “Can I make you a sandwich?” Hannah asked. “Nah, I think I can manage, thanks. How’s it going this morning?” “It’s good. We went to the park this morning.” “I rode my bike!” Sammy crowed. “Did you? No bumps or scrapes?” “Nope!” “I’m impressed. Maybe next time I can come too,” I said, hoping it was something I could deliver as I reached into the bread bag for a stack. Hannah turned to the cupboard, returning with a plate for me. “Thank you.” She was still smiling, standing at my side, assembling her sandwich. It was so mundane, something completely and utterly boring, but like the weirdo that I was, I found myself watching her hands as she folded cold cuts. We worked around each other—not that it was complicated, but there was a sort of rhythm between us, a natural pace wherein I used what she wasn’t and finished just as she needed what I had. I wasn’t sure why I noticed it, but I did, and I appreciated the simple synchronicity of the moment, a breath where things were easy. I passed her the mustard as she handed me the ham. “So, I was thinking …” I paused. “Oh, were you?” She glanced over at me with a hint of mirth at the corners of her lips. “I know. I almost sprained something.” Hannah laughed gently. “If it’s okay, I think I’d like to try to handle bedtime tonight.” “Of course it’s okay; they’re your children.” That time, her laughter was sweet. “Do you … would you … do you think you could maybe …” She shifted to face me, her eyes full of encouragement. “Would you mind … helping me?” Hannah nodded, her smile opening up. “That’s what I’m here for. Just let me know what you’d like me to do.” I smiled back. “I’m sorry. I know it sounds stupid. I just … I haven’t done this much on my own, but I’d like to start.” Her eyes softened, caught by slanting light, lighting up with sunshine. “There’s nothing to be afraid of,” she said simply. I didn’t speak. “There’s no right or wrong, and they don’t care about anything other than you being there. It’s simple enough; you only have to try.” “Is it really that easy?” “It really is. You’ll see.” She reached for my arm and gave it a squeeze that wasn’t meant to be anything but friendly but held something more, something in the pressure in her fingertips and the depths of her eyes. It was something I did my very best to ignore. But I felt the heat of those fingertips long after they were gone, even as we sat across the table from each other eating lunch, the tulips in the vase behind her bowing their long heads as the sunlight illuminated them, exposing what was hidden within their petals. fb-now-live-3.jpg
