Blurb

Our greatest risk was the one we never took …

It was an accidental spring fling three years ago, one week in the mountains of Big Sur, and no one was the wiser. Ignore the fact that Tobias James was my neighbor and my best friend’s older brother. Or that upon our return, his hoop dreams were waiting for him, robbing us of any future we might have shared.

Now, I’m fulfilling my own dreams in LA, and my biggest dream of all is about to come true. The last thing I expected was for my past and my present to collide. Not now. Not here. Not him. But he struts back into my life like he never even left. Unfortunately, I’ll never forget what happened the time he did.

The ball is in my court, but Tobias isn’t above stealing—my power, my resolve, my heart. When he wants a second chance to reignite our connection, my answer is simple—we can’t.

Not unless we defy the rules our dreams are built on … and risk everything.

AUDIO BLOG TOUR AND REVIEW--Balance (Off Balance #1) by Lucia Franco



🎧🎧 Review Tour 🎧🎧

Balance (Off Balance, book 1) By Lucia Franco
Narrated by Sarah Puckett

Release Blitz Hosted by Audiobook Obsession PR



Blurb:
Adrianna Rossi is no stranger to the rigorous demands required of her body. Years of pain and determination make her one of the best. Olympic glory is the ultimate goal, and she'll do anything to achieve it. Even if that means leaving home to attend World Cup Academy of Gymnastics, a training center that serves one purpose—producing champions.

Perfection, precision, and dedication are required of his athletes. When two time Olympian Konstantin Kournakova is persuaded into training the young hopeful, he immediately regrets it. She doesn't come close to his high standards. As the relentless pursuit of her dream keeps her striving, a passion is ignited within him.

Kova's power and domination, coupled with Adrianna's fierce tenacity, reveal there is more for her body to learn. Every interaction can be misconstrued, but there’s no mistaking the darkening of his gaze, the lingering of his touch, or the illicit image of his bare skin pressed against hers. Integrity is on the line. One toe off the beam and their forbidden desires could ruin everything they’ve worked for, throwing it all off balance.



BOOKISH STACY RATING: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
BOOKISH STACY REVIEW:            
 
 
I went into this knowing it was a taboo listen--take that seriously--I was pretty uncomfortable with some of it, but it just pulled me in from the beginning. 

I really enjoyed the overall story, even though the characters had me wanting to tear my hair out more than once. Because this is part one of a series, it's hard to find the redemption of the characters that normally happens in a stand-alone, so my feelings of anger pretty much went all the way to the end of the book. I didn't get that happy fulfilled feeling that happens at the end of good book where everything is resolved. But here's the thing-- I could not stop listening! I didn't want to put it down and I think that's the mark of a great story. When you have such strong, not-good feelings about a character and still have to know what happens next, the author has done their job. And I feel that Lucia Franco did that and did it well. I'm very much looking forward to the next book because I have to know how this plays out.

Sarah Puckett absolutely brought this story to life! I loved her narration and can't name a thing I would change.

RELEASE BLITZ -- On the Rocks by Kandi Steiner

OTR- RB banner.jpg


On the Rocks, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by Kandi Steiner is LIVE!
OTR Cover FINAL.png
Noah Becker is nothing but trouble.
That’s what Mama told me when I was a kid, kicking his pew in church and giggling at the games we’d play. It’s what the town said when his father died and the Becker brothers went wild.
And it’s on repeat in my mind the day I walk into the whiskey distillery where he works to buy a wedding gift for my fiancé.
He’s trouble.
Dirty, sweaty, rude trouble.
No matter how many times I repeat it, I can’t escape Noah in our small Tennessee town. And the more I run into him, the more he infuriates me. Because he sees what no one else does.
He sees me—the real me.
The me I’m not sure I’m allowed to be.
I’m Ruby Grace Barnett, the mayor’s daughter. Soon to be a politician’s wife, just like Mama and Daddy always wanted. Soon to fulfill my family’s legacy, just like I always knew I would.
Until the boy everyone warned me about makes me question everything, like whether the wedding I’m planning is one I even want.
Everyone said Noah Becker was nothing but trouble.
If only I had listened.
A stand-alone, contemporary romance.

Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.” She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a diehard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.
When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, talking with her extremely vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys live music, traveling, anything heavy in carbs, beach days, movie marathons, craft beer, and sweet wine — not necessarily in that order.

REVIEW -- Broken Halo (The Montgomerys #2) by Brynne Asher






Four little numbers … four little words. They might be random and insignificant to anyone else, but they meant something to us.

No, they meant everything to us.

Until they were ripped away.

That was the day our lives took a different course. One we had no control over. One that others puppeteered and mangled into a cluster so big, it left us with emotional scars lined with resentment and venom toward each other.

All because I’m a Montgomery and he’s a Barrett.

Now, Trig’s back and he hates me with more hostility and rage than ever … and I’ve learned to do the same. But when the world comes crashing down and the stakes couldn’t be higher, I can’t run and I can’t hide.
I need the help of the one person whose loathing for me runs deeper than blood and colder than his icy-blue stare.

I need Trig.

I need him more than I know.

Bookish Stacy Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Bookish Stacy Review:              

I am a HUGE fan of Brynne Asher, but *whispers* I was a little nervous about reading this book. The first book in this series wasn't my favorite of hers and I worried that maybe this series would just not be for me. 

So, I'm cruising right along through the first few chapters, enjoying myself, curiosity building, and then Zero-Three-Zero-Nine happened...


...and I knew--I just knew there was nothing to worry about except for how much my heart would break for these characters before it would be put back together again by the wonderful words of Ms. Asher.

I loved this book. I felt like it had just the right amount of heart, intrigue, and sexy to keep me on my toes the whole time. I loved watching Trig and Ellie come to terms with this lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers relationship. I loved how Ellie was a mama bear for her son, Griffin, and how her sister always had her back.  I loved how Ellie finally learned how to let people in--to let people help.  I usually despise plots that come from a miscommunication or misunderstanding, but the way that it was handled here worked. And there is so much more going on than just the relationship between Trig and Ellie, it just really makes for a fantastic read.  I couldn't put it down. I'm so excited to see what comes next in this series! Highly recommend!

Synopsis:
The day he said he’d never love me is when I vowed Quinn Miller would never break my heart again.
I wanted a family—but he wouldn’t give me that. As one of the top embryologists in the country, I’ve spent years creating babies in the lab for other people as my own dreams of motherhood fade.
I’m done waiting. I decide to start the journey to parenthood alone.
Then Quinn strolls back into my life, with all the finesse of a hurricane. I’m a fool to think I don’t want him anymore, and one reckless night of passion ends with me pregnant by the man I swore I’d never love again.
Now he doesn’t just want my heart, he wants it all. The baby. Love. A life where we’re happy.
But even as he promises me the future I always desired, I can’t help but fear that something will rip him away from me again.

RELEASE BLITZ AND REVIEW -- Wine & Dine (Sexy Silver Foxes) by L.B. Dunbar







Dolores Chance.
When I was falling apart, I fell in love.
It wasn’t supposed to happen like this.
I ran away from life and ended up running into…his dog.
Actually, his dog ran into me. I don’t care for dogs.
Then I met the owner.

Garrett Fox.
When my neighbor’s sister came to visit,
I promised to show her around town.
I’m an investor in things, not people, not emotions.
I’m not a fan of love. I’ve been burned before.
Then I met Dolores.

When a sexy mature, man-of-means encounters a silver vixen, healing her broken heart might be worth more than gold.

Romance has no age limit.

BOOKISH STACY RATING: *****
BOOKISH STACY REVIEW:         

I always enjoy LB Dunbar's books, but this one was probably my favorite. I loved it.

When 47 year old Dolores' mother dies, her brother sends her off to recharge in his condo on the beach in California. Here, she meets the hero of the story, Garrett Fox (age 50), who is her brother's neighbor and the absolute opposite of Dolores. She's the owner of a small town diner, and he's a rich businessman. She and Garrett both have a lot of baggage and because of this, neither of them really believe that a relationship is in the cards for them. They decide to be friends, knowing that their time together has an expiration date. Then they spend time together and all that goes right out the window.

I loved that I could really relate to Dolores--she's the same age as me and hasn't traveled much from the small town where she's spent her entire life taking care of others. I enjoyed watching her come into herself while she was spending time with Garrett and I really liked the push and pull of their relationship. Every time they got close emotionally, Garrett would seem to find a way to put some distance between them.
The pace and the way the relationship develops just felt very real to me and I loved that. I didn't feel like there was angst just for the sake of angst--it all felt very authentic.

I adored the Wizard of Oz references:
"I was lost."
"You just needed some time off, sweetheart. A trip over the rainbow."

Wally, the dog, was a sweet and funny addition to this book, as was Doloros' grandmother, Magnolia who gave me my favorite quote of the book--
"Nothing makes sense lately."
Magnolia: "Nothing ever does when you love someone. You'll do things you never thought you'd do and say things you never meant to say. You'll feel heartache like you've never felt before and joy like your heart might burst. And you'll never make sense of any of it. That's the great thing about love. It doesn't need to make sense. It just happens."

I always love when we get to revisit characters from previous books, as happens here, but if you haven't read any, you won't feel like you're missing out, as this is a complete stand-alone.

I hope LB Dunbar continues to give us more of these "romances for the over 40" because she's just amazing at them. They always seem to hit me right in the heart and leave me with a happy sigh and a smile on my face.










L.B. Dunbar has been accused of having an over-active imagination. To her benefit, this imagination has created over twenty novels, including a small-town world (Sensations Collection), rock star mayhem (Legendary Rock Star series), MMA chaos (Paradise Stories), rom-com for the over forty (The Sex Education of M.E. and After Care), and a suspenseful island for redemption (The Island Duet). Her alter ego, elda lore, creates magical romance through mythological retellings (Modern Descendants). Her life revolves around a deep love of reading about fairy tales, medieval knights, regency debauchery, and strong alpha males. She loves a deep belly laugh, a strong hug, and an occasional margarita. Her other loves include being mother to four grown children and wife to the one and only.

You can find me on Facebook, where I spend too much time.
