Good Boy by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy is live!!!!!



The first book of the new series by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy is finally here!

Synopsis
Hosting her brother’s wedding for an MVP guest list is the challenge of Jess Canning’s life. Already the family screw-up, she can’t afford to fail. And nobody (nobody!) can learn of the colossal mistake she made with the best man during a weak moment last spring. It was wrong, and there will not be a repeat. Absolutely not. Even if he is the sexiest thing on two legs.

Blake Riley sees the wedding as fate’s gift to him. Jess is the maid of honor and he’s the best man? Let the games begin. So what if he’s facing a little (fine, a lot) of resistance? He just needs to convince the stubborn blonde that he’s really a good boy with a bad rap. Luckily, every professional hockey player knows that you’ve got to make an effort if you want to score.

But Jess has more pressing issues to deal with than sexy-times with a giant man-child. Such as: Will the ceremony start on time, even though someone got grandma drunk? Does glitter ever belong at a wedding? And is it wrong to murder the best man?

Caution: May cause accidental aspiration of tea or coffee. Do not read in a public place where loud laughter is inappropriate. Contains hot but hilarious hockey players, puppy cuddling and a snarky pair of underwear.

Stay, Book #2 of the series, will be out mid-June!

My Review
Every time I start a book by Sarina and Elle, I've come to know that I will probably love it, and this time was no different!
I've loved this book so so much!

First of all, I strongly recommend to read Him and Us before reading this book. In Us we first meet Blake, we fall in love with him, and there is even the first encounter between Blake and Jess!
So yes, definitely start from that series.

But let me tell you more about Good Boy.
The story focuses on Blake and Jess. Blake is a hockey player, a hot, very hot hockey player, and he's also in the same team as Jess' brother-in-law. 
The first encounter between them is nothing to be forgotten... Just two words: massage chair. A very hot and kinky massage chair.

Blake and Jess couldn't be more different: he's the funniest, simplest guy ever, always laughing, always happy, always full of energy. At first, he appears like a guy who has not a worry in the world, always with a prompt (and usually funny) answer to every problem.

Jess appears to be more serious: she's in a place where she has to take some life-altering decisions, absolutely no time for a relationship, never mind a story with a guy that seems not to have the word "serious" in his vocabulary.

But never underestimate the power of a guy who can make you laugh! Step by step, we see how their relationship changes.
They become friends and confidents. And lovers (OMG, please give me a real Blake, I want one too!).

One of the things that I've loved the most was coming to understand the whole Blake package: the complexity, pass me the term, of this amazing guy. I think of him as THE Good Boy, the one that has a heart of gold, that puts the need of the others before his. Even if personally hurt, he doesn't want to retaliate (and boy, what happened to him was nothing to joke about!).

And I can't forget the secondary characters, that in my opinion give so much to a story! I had so much fun reading about Jess's roommate, or Jamie and Wes (<3), or Blake's teammates and the Wags!

To finish, I want to say that I've loved this couple, the chemistry between them was something amazing, two different people that balance one another in such a perfect way!

I would have so much more to tell about this great book, but I don't want to spoiler anything, so go buy this book and fall in love with this awesome story!




Promo Blitz, Book Oscar Nominee: Rescued (A McKenzie Ridge #1) by Stephanie St. Klaire


Title: Rescued
Series: A McKenzie Ridge #1
Author: Stephanie St. Klaire
Release Date: March 15th, 2016
Synopsis: 
Just as the walls start to come down, boundaries redefine, and things heat up, tragedy hits the small mountain town of McKenzie Ridge.

Sexy EMT Dawson Tayler made hearts break, and panties melt with a single look. Far from home, in the charming tourist town, he lives a simple life his family would be appalled by – if they were alive. Dawson suddenly finds his satisfying life, emotionless as it was, changing the night he nearly loses her.

The storming ball of fire, that is Nurse Sam Taylor, defined the word fighter. At five feet and a handful of inches, beautiful Sam was kind, giving, and a complete hard ass. Abandonment was a lesson Sam learned early on, leaving her with a hardened heart as a result. Men were as necessary as a hang nail and weren’t part of her plan, until him.

After months of shameless flirting, and generating steam everyone in their circle could see but them, the unlikely couple agreed to a friend’s only breakfast that turned into every morning – for weeks. Committed to the single life, this was not a relationship, and they definitely were not dating.

Does Dawson’s past and present collide and ruin what they have built? Will her secret be the deal breaker that ends this affair, before it even begins? Their steamy romance rushes through suspenseful twists, turns, and malice. Will Dawson and Sam find a happily ever after, or, is there someone else lurking in McKenzie Ridge trying to destroy it all?

Release Blitz: Billionaire Unknown - Blake (The Billionaire's Obsession #10) by J.S. Scott


Title: Billionaire Unknown - Blake 
Series: The Billionaire's Obsession #10
Author: J.S. Scott 
Release Date: January 31st, 2017

Synopsis:
Harper

I was perfectly content with my life. My career was booming. I travelled. I did as much charity work as I possibly could for the homeless, and I was perfectly happy with the choices I'd made.

At least...I was--until my sister, Dani, came up missing. As an international correspondent, she travelled to war-torn countries, and she'd stepped a little too far over the line. With my sibling kidnapped and running out of time, I had no option except to approach Marcus Colter for help.

Seeing Marcus again after having him break my heart over a decade ago wasn't easy, but to my relief, the old feelings I thought I might still harbor for him were completely gone. He was like a stranger to me. After meeting with him, my only emotion was gratitude that he was going to try to rescue my sister.

Before I could relax about feeling nothing for Marcus, I met Blake Colter, and realized every emotion I thought I'd have for Marcus was suddenly present for the gorgeous US senator.

It was ridiculous. I hadn't seen Blake since we were kids.

How could I have given myself to Marcus so many years ago, yet have these feelings for his twin brother, Blake?

The more time I spent with Blake, waiting for my sister to be rescued, the more confused I became about my attraction to him.

Then, my entire world came crashing down when I found out that everything I thought was true for over a decade wasn't the truth at all.

What happens when a woman finds out that a man she'd both loved and hated for over a decade never really existed at all?

Bad Boys Monday: Ash Evans from Stay (Bleeding Stars #5) by A. L. Jackson

It looks like I haven't written a Bad Boy Monday post for ages and I am sorry about that. But somehow I just didn't have the inspiration. There was always something missing and none of the dominant alpha males inspired me to write about them. But that was until the moment I opened Stay by A.L. Jackson and was introduced to Ash Evans - the naughty rockstar with a heart of gold. He is exactly what you would expect from every bad boy rockstar - the drinking, the women, the not-a-care-in-the-world attitude. But he is also a bad boy with a traumatic past. A bad boy with a broken heart that needs the tender care of a woman to put the pieces back together.

But let me back up a little bit and tell you why exactly you are going to fall for Ash Evans from the very start. He is a bass player with dark blonde hair and electric blue eyes that flash with white fire every single time when he is agitated. But that's not all. With a "bass guitar strapped around his big body, power in his stance and an arrogant smirk riding his too-attractive face" (let's not forget the dimples ;)) he can definitely melt your panties the moment you set eyes on him on stage. Ash might not be the front man but once he opens his mouth to sing to the one woman that can heal him, you will be definitely a goner. With that deep, rough and raw voice you simply won't have a chance. He is simply captivating, magnetic and maybe a little bit imposing :D

Ash is wild. Reckless. Broken... Through most of the book, you will see the aftermath of a tragedy that destroyed him. It simply splintered his heart into so many pieces that it left him empty and scared of love. He is happy for all his friends finding their HEAs but he believes he doesn't deserve it, that he is simply not capable of love. Or at least not capable of loving someone without hurting them. But once Willow enters his life, all bets are off. No matter how much he tries to resist her, she manages to piece his heart together, piece by piece. And at the same time he helps her gain her confidence, her belief that she is worth something and deserves to be loved for who she is.


And if you are still not convinced from all that. I still have one more ace up my sleeve :D Ash Evans is a master in bed. He can definitely make you burn with desire only using his dirty mouth -either talking dirty to you or using it for doing sinful things to your body that will leave you breathless. And once he is done with that, he will make you see stars again, and again, and again...


I am not going to bore you with more. You simply need to get introduced to Ash Evans. So pick up your copy now. But I will leave you with a quote from his letter to Willow. And if that doesn't melt your heart, I don't know what will.

"You deserve everything.

If you’ll let me, I want to give you my world. Because you, Willow, you took over and became mine.

You…you could never be second place or be hidden in the shadows. You burn too bright. Your faith is too brilliant and your love is too vivid.


You are my sun. "

I didn’t want this life.


But sometimes you’re forced to make the best of the crappy hand you’ve been dealt. I wanted to teach my daughter that. No matter what happens you face your problems head-on. 

Never cower. Never give up. 

Then someone took her and I had to put my faith in a system that had failed me, and my hope in a man I didn’t know. 

Serve. Honor. Protect, are the only things I’ve ever cared about until her case was dropped on my desk. As we searched for her missing daughter, the last woman I thought I’d fall in love with became my reason for living. 

Then the world came crashing down around us.

One secret would change everything, but I had one more hand to be dealt. And if I played my cards right, maybe, just maybe we’d get our piece of heaven.
