Title: Outside

Series: Rock Stars, Surf and Second Chances #1

By: Michelle Mankin

Publication Date: July 19, 2015

Genre: Contemporary Romance

#rockstarssurfseriestour

When handsome California surf god Lincoln Savage suddenly rolls into Ocean Beach like a rogue wave, shy beauty Simone Bianchi’s foundation is shaken. No longer under the thumb of her domineering father, she’s made a simple quiet life for herself and her fluffy fourteen pound Havanese pup running a surf shop in her hometown of OB. Long ago she gave up her dreams for a future with Linc. But now the notorious lead singer of the Dirt Dogs has returned, and Simone is reluctant to admit that she’s still vulnerable to his killer dimpled smile and easy charm. She finds that although she’s stowed away the mementos, it hasn’t been as easy to erase the memories of their epic summer love. It seems he hasn’t forgotten, either. Is the recording contract he’s offering merely a pretense? Or does he have something more in mind? Does he really believe that they can just pick up where they left off, despite all the bad luck and heartache? And is she willing to risk everything again for one last chance at love?

Michelle Mankin is the New York Times bestselling author of the Black Cat Records series of novels.

Rock Stars. Romance. Redemption.

Love Evolution, Love Revolution, and Love Resolution are a BRUTAL STRENGTH centered trilogy, combining the plot underpinnings of Shakespeare with the drama, excitement, and indisputable sexiness of the rock 'n roll industry.

Things take a bit of an edgier, once upon a time turn with the TEMPEST series. These pierced, tatted, and troubled Seattle rockers are young and on the cusp of making it big, but with serious obstacles to overcome that may prevent them from ever getting there.

Rock stars, myths, and legends collide with paranormal romance in a totally mesmerizing way in the MAGIC series.

Catch the perfect wave with irresistible surfers in the ROCK STARS, SURF AND SECOND CHANCES series.

Romance and self-discovery, the FINDING ME series is a Tempest spin off with a more experienced but familiar cast of characters.

—>Exploring the sexual double standards for women, the ROCK F*CK CLUB series is a what-if the groupies called the shots instead of the rock stars.

When Michelle is not prowling the streets of her Texas town listening to her rock or NOLA funk music much too loud, she is putting her daydreams down on paper or traveling the world with her family and friends, sometimes for real, and sometimes just for pretend.

Title: Company Ink

By: Kat Colburn

Publication Date: December 7, 2017

Genre: Contemporary Romance

#companyinkblitz

Office intrigue takes on a whole new meaning in this story of love, friendship, and the secrets hiding behind boardroom doors... The Company has a rule about falling in love on the job. I've never been one for rules. But I need this one. I need this rule to remind me why I can't be with Dani Wallace. I need this smart little foul-mouthed fighter by my side more than I need her in my bed. I need her to close this massive deal. She thinks it holds the key to her escape from cubicle hell and another shot at the life she always wanted. But there is more riding on our success than she can possibly ever know. So I'll keep my hands to myself and my secrets safe for one more day. But now I can't stop wondering what my best friend has on beneath her conservative suit. I can't stop imagining the things that sharp mouth of hers could do to me if I leaned back in my chair and unzipped my pants. And I can't stop pushing our flirting too far. I'm trying to remember the rule. But some rules are made to be broken.

Kat Colburn writes contemporary romances that are sweet and steamy. You can often find her plotting out the types of stories she loves to read, those that are smart, funny, and a teensy bit on the geeky side. When she’s not creating stories with strong heroines and laughing at her own jokes, she spends her time wrangling fuzzy rescue creatures to take their medicine, reading, and discovering new trails to hike.

Title: Just Enough By: Michelle Gross

Publication Date: April 1, 2018

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Cover Designer: Mayhem Cover Creations

#JustEnoughPreOrderBlitz

Benjamin I keep you in a place within reach, but I don’t dare seek you out. I keep you just enough, just enough to feel you close. You’re my best friend, but I know in my heart you’ve always been more. I don’t dare look too much, hold too much, or wish too much from you. But it’s always there between us, potent and underneath the layers I keep you hidden in until it’s too much, and it sends me searching to find another someone to hold. And when I find her, I know I’m safe again. Safe from the need to make you mine. Emily I’m within reach, but he never dares to seek me out. I will keep you always, just enough, just enough to feel you close, because I don’t see you as anything more than a best friend… until that line blurs. I’m too afraid to tiptoe any closer to where you are, where we could be, but when I think I’m finally going to try reaching for more of you, another someone lands in your arms instead. And when she does, I know I’m safe again. Safe from the need to let me be yours.

Interested in receiving an ARC in exchange for an honest review?

Michelle is from a small town in Eastern Kentucky where opossums try to blend in with the cats on the porch and bears are likely to chase your pets—this is very true, it happened with her sister’s dog. Despite the extra needed protection for your pets, she loves the mountains she calls home. She has a man and twin girls who are the light of her life and the reason she’s slightly crazy. As a kid, she was that cousin, that friend, that sister and daughter, the talker who could spin a tale and make-believe into any little thing so it was no surprise when she found love in reading, and figured all these characters inside her head needed an outlet. They wanted to be heard, so she wrote. The voices keep growing faster than she gets the time to write. The stories are never going to end. That’s perfectly okay, though. We never want to stop an adventure. She writes and loves many different genres so sign up to her mailing list to keep updated on her releases!

Review: Entangled

Entangled by S.E. Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG!!! Oh Dane how I love the. Although he can be a bit bossy and overbearing, he does it all with the love of his gal in mind! This whole Sawyer thing is killing me though. What is going on with him? AHHH!! Ok anyway.. lol

While reading the last two books all I could think was I am so glad that Evan is finding his HEA or so we hope anyway.. lol But he seriously sounds happy and that makes me smile. I don't thin that Laney did anything wrong necessarily but it was sad to know he was hurting. Now that him and Laney are happy all is right in the Evolve world EXCEPT what is up with Sawyer??? LOL

Ok I gotta keep going to figure this mystery out.. lol

Review: Emerge

Emerge by S.E. Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Omg!!! You know that feeling when you get when you almost stub your toe? I kinda had that feeling throughout this whole book!! Like legit was constantly like oh thank Jesus every chapter... LOL

This was the first book I have read by SE (sorry just life) but can I just say I am so thankful to be apart of her crew and to now FINALLY starting her books!! This story was just so awesome!! I played softball and loved it so it had me at hello but then you throw in new friends and hotties?? Yes please and thank you.

Look honestly Evan was the cute high school sweetheart but Dane (not because he has money) was the grown up "it got real" guy. He was sexy and sweet from the beginning as well as thoughtful. He was always there and was honest from the get go. Where as Evan I don't know, is maybe that naive guy that just didn't know how to move his way around women? Or just was at a loss on how to act period around other women without Laney. I hadn't figured that part out but he didn't seem active enough in Laney's life after they moved to different colleges. I feel like he should've tried more if he wanted it to work to his advantage. Either way I'm totally Team Dane Sorry Evan.

I REALLY enjoyed this book and am so excited to start the next book!!!!
