Synopsis:

MacIntosh 

Feeling discontent in the big city and hoping to find what’s missing in her life, MacIntosh Layne decides to go back to her roots. Ready for a refresh, she heads home to her family’s orchard in Tennessee for the summer. What she doesn't count on rediscovering is her attraction to her brother’s charming best friend, Lawson Westbrook. The main star in her dreams growing up, he’s the perfect blend of Southern gentleman and sex in a flannel—rugged, successful, and more handsome than ever. 

Lawson  

Lawson can’t believe Mac Layne is all grown up. No longer the gangly teen who went away to college, she’s all woman now and he’s eager to get reacquainted on a carnal level. As they continue to cross paths and their mutual attraction intensifies, he makes an enticing proposal.  

A Choice Must be Made  

Will Mac give in to the sinful temptation of the temporary arrangement Law is offering? Or will they find something sweeter than the cider they’ve been brewing together?    



Excerpt:

Copyright © 2017 by K. Reese
Sin and Cider

Shaking the lust from my mind, I decide to turn my focus to the inside of the barn now that I’ve finished the thankless task of clearing out weeds. I had pulled out some of the rubbish inside already but still have a lot of work to do. I pull one of the doors to the side, the gentle creaking sound washing over me in a wave of nostalgia. I make my way inside and step over dried leaves and debris, each step kicking up a layer of dust. I look ahead and broken slats of wood are on the ground; those must be part of the original roof that was destroyed. I survey the space and take in the old tanks where we used to make cider and the empty jugs, some whole and some broken, lining the walls on shelves covered in cobwebs. When I was a kid this barn was spotless and welcoming, the perfect place to make cider and welcome visitors. Now it looks like an old photograph and not the treasured memory it really is. I take a deep breath and the smells of dust and mold fill my nose instead of crisp apples and warm spices. It’s in this moment I make a promise to myself: I’m going to restore this barn to its former glory.

I pick my way across the worn and dirty hardwood and undo the latch on one of the windows. As soon as it swings open the sweet smell of flowers permeates the air and rays of sunshine filter in, the shafts of light instantly brightening up the room. I open the window on the other side and feel excited about the task at hand. This barn is a dirty penny and just needs to shine again.

Review : Shifted By Fate

Shifted By Fate

By: S. R. Mitchell





Synopsis:

Kelly had a history of picking the wrong guy, but destiny had its own twisted plan for her. 
She could not change what destiny had in store for her, but she could learn to accept it.
With change came Eric and he was one-hundred percent Alpha bad boy.
Kelly knew one thing when it came to Eric... 
He drove her absolutely crazy.

Eric knew as soon as he scented her, and her smell invaded his senses, that she was his mate. 
An alpha did not let go of his mate for anything.... she was his.
He would fight for her. 
He would guide her.
He would love her.

And with other wolves now after her… he would protect her at all cost.





Review:

Sarah has done some awesome work in the past so it’s no surprise that this book was great as well. Paranormal is my jam, and this one rocked it. Gotta love a great wolf tale. *wink* *wink*



It starts out like this creepy scene from a movie that makes you want to scream at the main character, Kelly, to “GO THE OTHER WAY!” and “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING!?” You just know she’s in deep. But then BOOM! The unthinkable happens and, if you’re a female reader, you’re filled with pride for this strong chick who can take on anything.



So basically, it really kicks off from the first few pages. I love books that get right to it. You get hooked and you never want to leave that world.

Then we meet Eric. Leader of the Pack, super alpha, can’t keep his eyes off of Kelly. Talk about love at first sight. Eric immediately has such a strong pull to Kelly. Just WOW. I love a man who knows what he wants.




But, Sarah didn’t write a typical Wolf romance. You know, wolf meets girl...he must have her…so duh he gets her. There was another twist. A Witchy twist. A Kelly twist. She’s not just a normal girl. Kelly can hold her own because she’s got some freaking awesome witch powers!


Did I mention that there’s ANOTHER twist? Kelly… well, I’ll let you figure that one out. Suffice it to say, it’s probably my favorite part.




You guys, this book was fantastic. It was a story, in a story, in a story… and when you think it couldn’t get any better, it does. I strongly recommend you guys checking this book out. It’s available NOW so what are you waiting for!?

Bad Penny Cover Reveal

BAD PENNY CR BANNER.jpg

Bad Penny, an all-new romantic comedy standalone from Staci Hart is coming June 15th!

cover-wrap-penny.png

Title: Bad Penny

Author: Staci Hart

Cover Designer: Quirkybird Designs

Photographer: Lauren Watson Perry

 

Synopsis

Nothing good comes after the third date.

See, date three is the crucial point when things get real, which is exactly why I bounce out the door, twiddling my fingers at whatever poor boy I’ve left behind. Because if I stick around, one of three things will happen: he’ll profess his undying love, he gets weird and stalky, or I’ll go crazy. Like, Sid and Nancy crazy. Like, chase-him-through-the-streets-begging-him-to-love-me crazy.

Seriously, it’s better for everyone this way.

So when I meet Bodie, I figure it’ll be the same as it ever was. It doesn’t matter that he doesn’t put a single string on me. Doesn’t matter that he’s funny and smart and jacked and can play my body like a grand piano. Because even though I’m built for love, love has only carved me up like a Christmas ham.

Resistance is something I can only hang on to for so long, and he has persistence in spades. But my heart isn’t as safe as I want to believe, and neither is his. And the second I ignore my cardinal rule is the second I stand to lose him forever.

Review 180 Seconds

   180 Seconds by Author Jessica Parker



Review by Ashley Hunter Gill


Some people live their entire lives without changing their perspective. For Allison Dennis, all it takes is 180 seconds…

    After a life spent bouncing from one foster home to the next, Allison is determined to keep others at arm’s length. Adopted at sixteen, she knows better than to believe in the permanence of anything. But as she begins her third year in college, she finds it increasingly difficult to disappear into the white noise pouring from her earbuds.

   One unsuspecting afternoon, Allison is roped into a social experiment just off campus. Suddenly, she finds herself in front of a crowd, forced to interact with a complete stranger for 180 seconds. Neither she, nor Esben Baylor, the dreamy social media star seated opposite her, is prepared for the outcome.

    When time is called, the intensity of the experience overwhelms Allison and Esben in a way that unnerves and electrifies them both. With a push from her oldest friend, Allison embarks on a journey to find out if what she and Esben shared is the real thing—and if she can finally trust in herself, in others, and in love.



     Before starting this book I highly advise you to have a box of tissues on hand because you're going to need them, lots of happy tears and some sad tears. I finally understand the phrase "all the feels" after finishing 180 Seconds.

    Allison's reserved , she struggles with letting someone into her life because in her experience that means letting someone else go. Allison has her best friend Steffi and thats all she needs, when shes had no one she's had Steffie but a social experiment she gets roped into turns her life upside down or maybe right side up.

    Esben is a social media star and for all the right reasons. He's out on mission to prove that people are good , his hashtags and social experiments are famous not only around campus but around the world.


   180 Seconds is all it took for Esben Baylor to stare into Allison Dennis's eyes and for all her walls to come crashing down. #thiskissthiskiss changed everything !

   I often get asked to read books and to leave a review but this wasn't the case. I wanted to pick something up for fun and when I stumbled upon the cover of Jessica Parker's 180 Seconds I was intrigued . The cover was simple but beautiful ( I needed a break from the typical half naked man covers) so I dived in knowing nothing of the story and often took small breaks to smile or cry.  I loved the connection between the characters  and to watch Allison's growth was truly beautiful, sometimes we just need to find the right person to make us feel safe and I truly believe she found it with Esben.  If you're a fan of those feel good stories everyone likes to share on facebook then you're gonna fall head over heels in love with 180 Seconds.

Review : This Thing Between Us

This Thing Between Us

By: Holly C. Webb





Synopsis:

Parker O’Neill is a man with the world at his feet. Son of the CEO of O’Neill’s International, he is ready to take over as head of the company, once his father retires in six months’ time.

However, Parker has earned himself the ultimate playboy reputation, and not everyone thinks he is ready to take control of the company that he was groomed for all his life.
Given an ultimatum that he has to settle down if he wants to take over from his father; Parker decided the only way to solve his problem, is to pay someone to play the part of his dutiful wife.

Alice Whitman is a hard working girl, with a kind heart. Raised by her grandmother after losing her parents, she knows what its like to lose everything.

Sophia, Alice’s grandmother, is getting older and growing weaker by the day. Alice is the only one Sophia has, so it falls to her to do whatever it takes to help her beloved Gram.

When Parker makes Alice an offer he thinks she can’t refuse, he is stunned to find that money doesn’t always mean you get your own way. However, Alice soon realizes Parker might be the one person that can help her when she needs it most.

Can they make their arrangement work without anyone finding out the truth, or will this thing between them turn into something neither of them expected it to be?






Review:

This is my first book by Holly that I’ve read. It was so good!! Just the type of read I needed.

Holly created two worlds that collided perfectly even though they refused to accept each other at first.

Parker being the spoiled rich guy. Never any consequences. Never caring about what he does or who he does it with. And just never caring about anyone else period. But he gets stuck with this life altering ultimatum and the only one able to help is this small town coffee waitress.

Poor guy seems like such a prick at first! I really had quite a few “what the f*ck, dude!” moments. But then I fell in love with him just as Alice did.



Alice… stubborn, hardworking, hard headed. Just what Parker needed even though he didn’t know it when they first formally met. She’s such a good girl. Always trying to do the right thing to help her only living family, her Gram. Working doubles three times a week, and busting her butt at life in general.



I felt so bad for how Parker treated her in the beginning of this story. Hence the multiple “wtf?” moments stated above. But she was strong and stayed true to herself and then realized how much of a puzzle piece Parker was that fit perfectly in her life.


This novel made me feel so much!! I was so angry, sad, happy, heartbroken, and I even fell in love! I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful tale. I highly recommend it. It is available NOW so go grab your copy!!!




More From Holly C. Webb:


Synopsis:

Penny Chase has had her whole life planned out for her since the day she was born, but it’s a life she doesn’t want. After a lifetime of trying to please her controlling father, Penny thinks she will never get to Stanford. She sees it as her chance to finally have the life she has always dreamed of. That was until she meets Damian Grant.

Damian is the lead singer of Purple Mist, with a love them and leave them reputation. That was until he meets his Lucky Penny. From the moment he sets his eyes on her, he is determined to win her heart.

Damian was everything Penny wanted, but also everything her father would never approve of. Still, the heart wants what the heart wants, and Penny’s heart wants Damian. She just wasn’t sure what price she would have to pay for a life with him.

Can love really conquer all, or will Richard Chase, Penny’s father, make the price of loving Damian too high. Will Penny’s happy ever after be worth the chase?
