Synopsis 

Twenty-three years ago, he hopped on a bus to pursue his dreams in the music business.
But that meant leaving behind the girl who could never really be his.
Now older, wiser, and insanely successful, Mick Tyler has achieved everything he ever wanted, but he's never been more miserable. Feeling a little disenchanted and introspective, Mick can't help but let his mind wander through all of life's "what if" moments. The biggest what if? The girl he walked away from--the one who was too young and had dreams of her own. And now that he's thought about her once, he can't stop wondering.
Sienna Ashley is desperate for a little excitement. As thrilling and satisfying as her pursuit of scientific research has been for her intellect, it's left her heart feeling a little neglected. For years she dreamed of finding someone who not only understood her brains but accepted her and all her quirks. Once upon a time she thought she'd found that someone, but it's been over two decades since he walked out of her life.
Past and present collide when Mick and Sienna unexpectedly come face to face. Together, they decide to see what could have happened had they chosen a different path all those years ago. But they've given themselves a deadline. Two weeks. Two glorious weeks to either work each other out of their systems, or to embark on the love of a lifetime.

Review

This book is part of an interconnected series but can be read as a standalone. 

This book focuses on Mick and Sienna. A young love that was left behind 23 years ago when Mick headed to the West Coast to pursue his music career.  

Sienna was younger and he believed her future was brighter without him dragging her down. 


But you never really forget your first love and each of them never did. When a chance encounter gives them a chamce to reconnect they take it. 


They are simultaneously feeling like they are missing out on life by being consumed by their professions.  Two weeks….a break to reconnect and see if they are better together or separate. 


There were some parts of the story that were slow for me but overall I enjoyed the read.  I  liked taking the journey wirh Mick and Sienna as explored their feelings for one another.  Sienna appears a bit overwhelmed by Micks lifestyle and his ability to spoil her at times leaving her doubting a place for her in his life. 

A second chance romance that will have you pulling for these characters to find their HEA.

Release Date: March 28, 2023
Synopsis The most eligible bachelor in New York City just asked me to be 
his fake fiancé.

 

Gavin King is six and a half feet of delectable billionaire with a devil’s smile that says he knows exactly what he’s going to do to me later. Because he has

Three years ago, I caught him in the shower and promptly fell into his bed. But neither of us were relationship material. Not to mention I’d just broken up with his best friend.

 

Now, I’m back in the city and he has a plan:

Go to his cousin’s wedding.

Convince his family that he’s not an eternal bachelor.

Post a huge elaborate break up later

With those big puppy dog eyes begging me to agree, claiming I’m the only one who can pull it off, I say yes. What could go wrong? Other than pulling it off so successfully that the line between real and fake blurs.

 

When my family flips the whole script, I can’t see a way out. And I’m starting to wonder if I even want one.

Review

This is the follow up to the novella Cruel Kiss which explores Gavin and Whitley years later.  You don’t need to read the novella to enjoy this story but why miss out on their streamy vacation tryst. 


I could not wait to get my hands on this book and get more of Gavin and Whitley.  

In true wingman fashion these two will do just about anything for each other.  When Gavin needs a date to a family wedding their relationship takes a wild turn and snowballs into something more. 


Fake dating someone you’ve had feelings for but keep trying to deny is definitely a recipe for disaster…..or is it? 


The chemistry between these two is off the charts and you can feel the push and pull.  But all they really need is that one push to finally realize that they want more……of each other. 


Yes this is part of of a series but each book can be read as a standalone.

If you are an audio listener…. don’t miss out on this one.  I had the pleasure of listening and reading simultaneously. Joe Arden and Erin Mallon knock this out of the park.🔥

I’m not a girl who expects to be saved

I gave up on fairytales a long time ago.

So when my knight in shining Armani stalks into town and delivers me from my tragic fate, I’m grateful.

Darius Prince shouldn’t be in the seedy strip club where I’m paying off my mother’s debts, one piece of my soul at a time. And he definitely shouldn’t be the one who claims me in exchange for a suitcase full of trust fund cash and a deal inked in blood.

His dark eyes shine with a hatred so deadly, I wonder why he wants me at all.

Especially when I find out he thinks I’m somehow connected to his twin sister’s disappearance.

Darius doesn’t rescue me.

Instead, he drags me into his web of tragic secrets and forbidden desires.

He binds &! me so tight, I can’t find my way out of his grasp.

Not that it would make a difference.

Escaping my fate isn’t an option.

They say every ending is a new beginning.

I just didn’t expect my beginning to be so cruel

Review

This book is not for the faint of heart. Please review the trigger warnings for this book before diving in. This is dark romance at its finest. 


I went into this book blind.  Being that I haven’t read either author in a long time I was really excited to see what they had put together. 


I devoured this book.  I could not wait to get back to it when life interrupted. I needed to know what part of the roller coaster ride was coming next…..a gradually rise or a steep drop. 


Birdie was dealt a hard life.  Poverty, despair and loss.  Even with how little she had she held to the dream of something more.


Darius is entitled, rich and pretty much as arrogant as they come. Where he comes from there are rules.  Rules that cannot be broken without consequence. 


Secrets, betrayal, loss, desperation, humiliation and the beginning of feelings….real feelings.  Something that Darius may not be ready to admit until he can’t hide it anymore. 


Darius and Birdie appear to be worlds apart but appearances can be deceiving.  This story has just begun to unfold. The layers of secrets and deception being slowly peeled back to reveal what others have tried hard to hide. 


I cannot wait to see what twists and turns await us in Book 2, Cruel Boys.

Release Day Blitz & Review Falling for the Recluse by Liv Prescott

Release Day Blitz & ReviewFalling for the Recluseby

Release Date: March 20, 2023


Synopsis 

When Josie Bennett is selected for a once-in-a-lifetime undergraduate penguin research opportunity on an isolated island in Antarctica, she can’t believe her luck. The one catch is she’ll need to room with renowned ice scientist Dr. Gavin Stark—the reclusive, famously bad-tempered glaciologist called the “Ice Prick” by, well, everyone. As if she'd let something like that stop her. This is her dream internship, and the man can't possibly be that bad...

 

Turns out, he’s worse.

 

When Gavin finds out he has to mentor a bright-eyed college girl he already knows is too damn sweet for his inhospitable surroundings (and personality), he can’t believe his luck. Cranky is his default for a reason, and all his pain-filled memories are simply a reminder of why he can’t be around, well, anybody. Especially not a hard-working ray of sunshine who’s as smart as she is scrappy.

 

And ten times cuter than he was dreading…

 

How’s a man like him supposed to deal with that kind of incessant warmth every day--or the inexplicable, inescapable chemistry that soon has them burning up the sheets every night? Worse, what the hell is he supposed to do when all that heat and warmth is gone from his life after Josie’s internship comes to an end?

 

Note: This is a standalone steamy short between a hardened grump and the one woman who somehow cracks his icy exterior by being nothing he expects, and everything he’s not. It’s all the HOT insta-fun sparks, yummy tension, and falling-hard-and-fast swoon for the busy reader looking for some quick & dirty schmexygood times, with a sweet, feel-good HEA to boot. Enjoy!

Talk about a story hot enough to melt a glacier.  Liv Precott delivers a short , sweet but steamy read that will definitely keep you warm on a cold night.  The perfect read to get through in one sitting. 


Gavin and  Josie were only together for a few weeks but in that time something grew. It was nice to see that the impact Josie had on Gavin was more than temporary.  Loved the epilogues.

 About the Author

Liv Prescott writes short, sexy stories about intense heroes who fall hard and fast for heroines who couldn’t be more off-limits. They are alphaliciously protective, with their own gruff brand of romance, while their heroines are unapologetic experts at pushing all their buttons. Every swoony book comes with instant sparks, inescapable chemistry, downright dirty banter, and HOT steamy goodness throughout. Feel-good happily-ever-afters are a must, along with fun epilogue(s) to leave readers smiling.

 

Liv is the alter ego of New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Nina Lane, who needed a new outlet for her quick, hot story ideas. When she's not diving deep into her smutty imagination, Liv reads, travels, scrapbooks, and hangs out with her family.
