Release Date: August 31

New Title: Second Chance CEO

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author M. Robinson comes a best friend’s baby sister, second chance billionaire romance.

 

I came from nothing and made something of myself. I’ve only ever loved two things. Cars and her.

 

I took that passion and built an empire. 

Now I’m the CEO.

The alpha.

On top of the world.

 

I’m not the carefree man she once knew.

That was the problem with being one of the richest men in the world—everyone thinks they know me, but they only know what I want them to.

 

I’m demanding. 

Arrogant. 

Controlling. 

 

My company thinks they can change me.  Soften my image. Make me more appealing to the public.

Little do they know, the woman they hired was my best friend’s little sister, and the last time I saw her...

 

I broke her heart.

My Review:

Alpha CEO by M. Robinson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Autumn and Julian get a second chance at happiness. Autumn knows when she takes on her latest client that she will be coming face-to-face with the man that broke her heart. But she has grown over the past 10 years and believes she is up for the challenge. Julian has built an empire but he left behind the only family he knew and the girl that captured his heart. I have to admit, when I first met him, I didn’t like him much. He uses his cocky arrogance and wants to bulldoze Autumn when he was the one that walked away. But as this story unfolds, well, we learn that you never do forget your first love and for Julian, he believed he would always get her back. The challenge is that he crushed Autumn’s heart so will she give him another chance? Of course, he doesn’t really give her a choice as he works his way back into her life. I ended up loving Julian and all his bullish ways but Autumn isn’t a pushover and definitely makes him work for it. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

SYNOPSIS

Cam Radcliffe is on a deadline to write his next blockbuster action film, but all he can think about lately is writing romance. The inspiration? His best friend, Reese.

They’ve known each other for years, but suddenly working in the same office has given him a whole new appreciation of her. Reese is driving him wild in the best possible way, and Cam only hopes it isn’t obvious. If she knew, he’s certain their friendship would reach The End.

So, of course, Reese figures it out. But the awkward, negative response he expected is nothing like the reality—like they’re living their own romcom.

A romcom that’s giving him the worst case of writer’s block at the absolute worst time in his career. Especially when the secret Reese has been forced to keep comes out…and threatens to ruin everything.

My Review:

Written For You by Robin Bielman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a new author for me and I was completely pulled in to Cam and Reese’s amazing friends to lover’s romance. Cam and Reese truly meet through fate and chance. Both lost their parents young and ended up being adopted by women who are best friend’s which brought together often allowing them to build a wonderful friendship even though they lived in different towns. Now as adults, they both live in LA as Cam pursues his dream to be a screenwriter and Reese works on figuring out what her true passion is. For the summer, they end up in Cam’s hometown and the feelings they have both suppressed refuses to be ignored however they are both afraid of breaking the incredible friendship that they have or how it will impact their families. Cam is struggling with writer’s block which Reese ends up being the cure for. Reese has found a job she loves but has been put in a challenging position that involves Cam. I loved the back and forth, slow build, hesitation that they both had even though their hearts kept pushing them to acknowledge their love. It felt real and honest, following our emotions has so many hurdles that can either be amazing or devastating. The entire family dynamic was fun and comforting as I cheered them on to their own happily ever after.

When the devil comes to town, you have to meet him head on.

Which is exactly what I did when Grant Stone rolled into our small Texas town, driving a sports car I could fit in the bed of my truck, wearing a suit as black as his soul. He’s here to acquire mineral rights to half a dozen farms in town.

And there’s no way he’s getting mine.

I don’t make deals with the devil.

So when he challenges me to show him the small town ropes, my motivation is the prospect of seeing him make a fool of himself. He might have an angle, but if he thinks he can finagle me into endangering my bee farm, he’s got another thing coming.

Until the line in the sand is washed away.

My farm in danger. A town in upheaval. A man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

And me in the middle.

When the devil comes to town, you have to meet him head on.

And when he sneaks into your heart, he’ll only break it.

Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life -- a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can't forget that. She's also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She's been a wife, though she's certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She's also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she's been drinking whiskey. When she's not writing, she's reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.

New Release & Review: Winning the Cowboy by Kennedy Fox

Winning the Cowboy

Circle B Ranch, #6

Winning the Cowboy is now available on all retailers!

Working on the ranch and settling down is all Grayson’s ever wanted in life. When he meets the woman who could make that a reality, he learns she hates him with every fiber of her being. He knows she’s being unreasonable since their bickering is the hottest foreplay he’s ever had. Mackenzie Bishop’s an elementary school teacher and can tolerate a lot, until it comes to Grayson. He may act like he doesn’t remember what he did, but Kenzie will never forget. Not when the memory of that night still lingers in her mind years later. She denies her attraction, but she can’t hide it forever, especially when there’s no escaping him. Although she refuses to give him the time of day, they form a truce and everything changes—just not in the way he expected.

**Winning the Cowboy is a complete stand-alone and can be read without reading any of the other books or spin-off series, but if you prefer to read in order, start with Hitching the Cowboy as the characters and families do interconnect.**

My Review: 

Winning the Cowboy by Kennedy Fox
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a fabulous battle between Kenzie and Grayson. From the moment they met, Kenzie has hated Grayson and doesn’t hold back on letting everyone know it. This leads to a fabulous war with crazy and funny pranks that they pull on each other. For Grayson, he wishes he knew why she hates him so much because the attraction he feels is hard to resist. As the intensity of their war grows, Grayson finds himself needing a pretty big favor. His mom wants him to attend a family reunion which he dreads due to the betrayal he suffered from his brother. But if he has to go, taking someone with him would ease the pain, now, can he convince Kenzie to go with him? I love the truce proposal from Grayson and was shocked when Kenzie agreed. For Kenzie, she is attracted to Grayson but he did something to her that he doesn’t remember. Will she finally reveal all to him on their trip to San Antonio? This duo is electric and so much fun. The road to a future will only happen if truths are shared and forgiveness provided. I enjoyed the ride with them. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

  ABOUT THE AUTHOR 

   

  Amazon's International #1 Best Seller in Gothic Romance I have an awesome husband, three kids, and two dogs. I swear uncomfortably too much, speak sarcasm as if it's my first language, and love to shock people for the reaction. Mainly because I need a good laugh. I love to make people laugh. Crazy, right? The dark romance author should be writing rom coms, not murdering and maiming people. If I don't start my day with creamer and a splash of coffee, lives *will* be taken. When I'm not writing, I'm dreaming up new stories, hiking or camping with my family, or going on road trips. I contribute my sass to being raised by two Marines and a driller that could match my attitude and then some.

Sage Walker needs a fake wedding date—and fast. 

Heading home for her sister’s wedding was a happy occasion, until she found out the best man is her ex-boyfriend. (You know, the one who swore she’d been alone forever.) 

From apple picking to pumpkin carving, Sage refuses to look the sad spinster at every pre-wedding event. But the solution to her problem might be even worse. 

Luke Chambers has always been a ladies’ man, but he’s kept his eyes to himself when it came to his best friend’s little sister. But when Sage walks into his brewery, he can’t believe the girl he used to tease has grown up into the kind of woman found only in his dreams. And when he hears her dilemma, he’s more than happy to help. 

Sage realizes her mistake from their very first fake kiss. Her childhood crush has turned into catastrophic desire. She swears it’s all a show for her ex to see, but every look... every touch... makes her wonder if what they have was meant to be. 

But when the heat of their attraction brings up the burns of the past, can she say ‘I do’ to the feelings they’ve found or will she insist that they're done?

Caleb Burke.

Charming. Funny. Sexy.

Major player - both on the field and with the ladies.

I hate him.

Well, not really. I resist his so-called charms because I recognize them. We're a lot alike, Caleb and I. He's afraid of commitment? Me too. A giant flirt? Same here. He knows how to party? I am the absolute queen of the party.

Until I realize it's time for me to grow up and become a responsible adult. I'll be student teaching next year, so to save money, I move in with my two new roommates -- Eli Bennett and Caleb. Then I find a summer job -- where Caleb works. Soon, I'm spending almost every single day with the guy.

He's growing on me too. We've always had this unspoken chemistry brewing between us. When we finally give in to it, it's just as spectacular as I secretly predicted. The sex, and everything else, keeps getting better and better between us too.

But can I really take this guy seriously? Or am I only setting myself up to fail?

My Review:

Immoral by Nicole Dykes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beautifully crafted best friends to lover’s romance. I don’t typically read M/M romance but I love this author’s stories and dove right in. Ryan and Grady were best friends all through school but Ryan has a secret, he loves his best friend. When Grady grabs him and kisses him at a party, he runs, knowing he can’t reveal to his best friend how he really feels about him. Sever years later, Grady’s music career is on the rise and Ryan is working to win the World series which brings them back together. Grady wants to know why Ryan has avoided him and won’t allow Ryan to run again. Ryan lives his life in secret, not revealing to the world he is gay but Grady works to get past all his walls. But what happens when Ryan is honest and tells Grady how he really feels about him? I lived this journey with Grady and Ryan as they navigated their careers and true feelings to figure out the life path, they both wanted to live. I appreciated the thoughtfulness and honesty as they handled their own doubts and all the pressure from the outside world. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
