CHRISTY'S REVIEW

 

   

“I’ve always only wanted to save you.”

It has been so long since I’ve read a Debra Anastasia book and I’m so happy I picked this up! This book gave me all the feels and I loved it. Pixie and Gaze were such strong characters and I adored them both.

Pixie and Gaze become neighbors when they were kids and became the best of friends. Pixie was the only good thing in Gaze’s life, and Gaze was one of the best things about Pixie’s. Due to circumstances out of their control, they were separated for a few years and Pixie was left behind, more alone than ever.

Eventually, Gaze came back to his Pixie, more determined than ever to make her life better and be to her what she was to him all those years ago. Gaze was the sweetest and most protective guy to Pixie. My heart broke for so much of what they went through but I was grateful they had each other. I loved Pixie and Gaze, and I really truly loved Gaze’s brother, Austin. He was such a fantastic addition to this story.

This book had many gut wrenching moments that had me in tears. But it also had moments that made me smile. By the end, I was a happy reader. Anastasia’s writing is fantastic and this had the best kinds of emotions. It wasn’t always an easy read, it was definitely heavy, but I loved it.

Blog Tour: Southern Storms by Brittainy C. Cherry

Even the town’s black sheep needed a friend sometimes

Southern Storms, an all-new, small town second chance romance from Brittainy C. Cherry, is available now!

All I wanted to do was run away, I never expected to crash into his arms…

After leaving the city life behind to escape my loveless marriage, I moved to small town Havenbarrow for a fresh start.

What I didn’t expect was to find myself drawn to the town’s black sheep.

They called him troubled. Cold. A man with a dark past.

What everyone seemed to miss about Jax was the splashes of light in his eyes. The random acts of kindness he performed when no one was watching. The way he made me smile and laugh.

Jax helped unpack the baggage I’d been carrying around with me. He was patient with my pain and gentle with my scars. He was the stillness during my hurricane.

Yet when both of our pasts come back to haunt our present days, we realized quickly that sometimes love stories didn’t end the way we’d hoped.

Sometimes you were left with only the damage from the storm.

CHRISTY'S REVIEW: 

 

   

Sometimes in life we need to be pushed to be reminded that we can still move.

Brittainy C. Cherry give us another stunning and emotional second chance romance with her newest release, Southern Storms.

After dealing with loss, Kennedy lives her home in the city to move to the country near her sister. She needs the quiet and solitude to heal. What she never expects is for the town jerk to live right by her. And for it to be someone she once knew... Kennedy knew Jax when they were young and went to summer camp together. It's been a lot of years since they've seen each other, and they're both completely different people now.

Usually when we get a grumpy hero (I love the grumpy ones) we have a light and bubbly heroine to balance them out. That wasn't the case here, at least not completely. Kennedy used to be light, but when she went through such a traumatic loss, she lost some of that light. My favorite thing about this story was seeing both of these characters broken from their past come together and start to heal. It was such a beautiful moment.

This book alternates from chapters that take place in the past and those in the present. I loved seeing Jax and Kennedy as kids. Jax has the most beautiful and sensitive soul. I hate that his father tried to squash it, but loved that Kennedy was able to bring that side out of him. He was also able to bring out a new side to her. Kennedy had been in the darkness so long after her loss, but he got her back into the light.
   

"Tell me your truths, and I'll stay," he swore. "Whatever they are, Kennedy, I'm not afraid. I'm here."

I loved Jax and Kennedy so much, but there were also some amazing side characters that stole the show at times. Connor was my absolute favorite. This story was really heavy at times, but he had a way of bringing heart and humor to every scene he was in and had me laughing and smiling so big. I also loved Joy and Kennedy's sister.

Southern Storms is not a light and fluffy romance. It's emotional, deals with loss, grief, and healing, and will make your heart happy and full when you finish it. It's a gorgeous childhood friends to lovers story that I highly recommend!

She was the sun. She was my sun. I fell in love with the sun, and she kept my cold heart warm.

Nico Merryweather loves women—all women. Sure, they’re sexy and fun. But “Player” is an easy reputation to hide behind, a way to keep the good times rolling and reality at bay. He’s loud, he’s cocky, he says exactly what he’s thinking, and people just laugh it off because they think they know him. But Nico makes sure no one is close enough to know the truth. With a new season starting, he is ready to play the game he can control. They’ll all be watching Nico, the goalie, but they’ll never know the man behind the mask who is just trying to breathe. He hasn’t ever wanted anyone close enough to him to see the truth, until Aviva rams herself into his ass. Literally.

Aviva Pearce’s life is a collection of bad days all wrapped up without a bow. If it can go wrong, it will. All she wants is to run her business, take care of her sister, and keep her head above water. But with a father who is out to ruin her like he has himself and debt trying to drown her, it’s hard to stay afloat. Aviva isn’t the type to waste time dwelling on her misfortunes or to give up, though. She’s got too much fight in her. And she definitely doesn’t have time to waste on the wildly sexy, rich, showboating goaltender everyone wants. She’s got goals.

What she doesn’t know is that Nico has goals of his own.

And she’s number one on his list.

Christy's 5 Star Review: 

 

Toni Aleo is one of my favorite sports romance authors. My all time favorite hockey series is her Assassin's series. I always enjoy her books, but it's been a while since she's had a 5 star hit for me. Wild Tendy is the book I've been waiting for. I did not expect Nico's book to hit me this hard, but man... it really did. I loved it so much!

Nico Merryweather is the goalie for the IceCats and a notorious ladies man. We first meet him in Chandler's book, then in Shelley's we see him again. I didn't know how I felt about Nico in those books. I mean, I liked him, but I wasn't sure how he would be as the hero of the story. He's a bit extra and a lot to handle at times, but the more you get to know him, the more you love him. He just needs to find the right girl.

"You need the kind of woman that is strong and can handle your extra-ness."

When he meets Aviva he knows he found that girl. The only problem? Aviva wants nothing to do with him. It's not Nico, it's men in general. She doesn't have time for them. She's barely breaking even after all her bills running her family business and raising her teenage sister. Her life is crazy busy and she's doesn't have time for any extra complications. But Nico is a hard man to say no to. Especially when he becomes chummy with Aviva's sister. It makes him even harder to resist.

With time, Aviva sees that Nico really does care for her and wants to make her life easier. She has not had an easy life and finds it hard to accept help, though. Nico has such a beautiful and giving soul, he just wants to make things better for her. It causes a bit of tension. Both Nico and Aviva have been through a lot. Hearing about both of their backstories and seeing where they are now was inspiring and beautiful.

This story was wonderful. I smiled, I laughed, and I cried like a baby through this book. A lot of the tears were happy, but some parts just hit me so hard. Nico is a one of a kind character who I adored. He's funny, sweet, and amazing just the way he is. Toni wrote him perfectly. And Aviva is one of the strongest heroines ever. She was stubborn and tough but she had to be. I loved watching Nico wear her down. When she finally let him in, she let him all in. I loved this couple together so much, and the family dynamic was everything. I think my favorite part was their relationship with Aviva's sister, Callie. I especially loved her and Nico together. Partners in crime.

This book was so special to me. I truly loved everything about it. If you're a fan of strong heroines, swoony heroes and sports romances, pick this one up! It was fantastic. I can't wait to read more from the IceCat's series and I'm hoping one day we get a Callie book because I love that girl!!

I am a wife, mother of two and a bulldog, and also a hopeless romantic.

I am the biggest Shea Weber fan ever, and can be found during hockey season with my nose pressed against the Bridgestone Arena’s glass, watching my Nashville Predators play!

When my nose isn’t pressed against the glass, I enjoy going to my husband and son’s hockey games, my daughter’s dance competition, hanging with my best friends, taking pictures, scrapbooking, and reading the latest romance novel.

I have a slight Disney and Harry Potter obsession, I love things that sparkle, I love the color pink, I might have been a Disney Princess in a past life… probably Belle.

… and did I mention I love hockey?

BLOG TOUR: Broken Knight by LJ Shen

- Harloe Rae, USA Today bestselling author.

Broken Knight, an all new standalone about first loves, betrayal and loss from USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen, is available now!

Not all love stories are written the same way. Ours had torn chapters, missing paragraphs, and a bittersweet ending.

Luna Rexroth is everyone’s favorite wallflower.

Sweet.

Caring.

Charitable.

Quiet.

Fake.

Underneath the meek, tomboy exterior everyone loves (yet pities) is a girl who knows exactly what, and who, she wants—namely, the boy from the treehouse who taught her how to curse in sign language.

Who taught her how to laugh.

To live.

To love.

Knight Cole is everyone’s favorite football hero.

Gorgeous.

Athletic.

Rugged.

Popular.

Liar.

This daredevil hell-raiser could knock you up with his gaze alone, but he only has eyes for the girl across the street: Luna.

But Luna is not who she used to be. She doesn’t need his protection anymore.

When life throws a curveball at All Saints’ golden boy, he’s forced to realize not all knights are heroes.

Sometimes, the greatest love stories flourish in tragedy.

Christy's Review: 


 

Broken Knight was one of my most anticipated summer reads. I mean, look at that cover. Also, the fact that Knight's parents are my favorite Shen couple, I was just so excited. There were A LOT of 5 star moments in this book. It was angsty, beautifully written, and addicting to read. There were also a few points where I considered DNFing the whole thing. I was that upset and stressed about a few things that happened. Overall, I did love it it for the most part.

There were two Knight Coles. One was mine. The other everyone else’s.

Knight Cole and Luna Rexroth have been best friends since they were kids. They are each others person, their ride or die. But their relationship is complicated. They are connected to each other and share a bond that can't be broken, no matter how hard it's put to the test...

Knight Jameson Cole is a character I felt so conflicted about. I loved him, but I also hated him at times. He has issues. He's a jerk, he's also a sweetheart and mama's boy. All those moments I almost quit this book, well, that's all thanks to Knight. The miscommunications were insane. Luna is a complex character, but I understood her. I felt she was justified with most of her actions and I really felt for her. I did root for these two to be together, through all the pain and all the hurt, they truly were meant for one another.

“There will be no one else, Moonshine. I will never let you get over me.”

Luna and Knight's journey to each other was pure torture at times. It was hard to read, tumultuous, and broke my heart. This book broke me. I cried so much while reading. I swear there was a solid 15% of the book I just bawled. It's not an easy read. Prepare yourself. Obviously, I don't want to say too much about the story. There are plenty of reviews with spoilers out there, but mine won't be one of them. Whether you love it or hate it, I think books like this are best to be read blind.

There is one thing I can say about LJ Shen's story telling.... she can wreck you like no one else. This book was captivating, alluring, intense, angsty, and a beautiful coming of age/friends to lovers story. If you're looking for a book that is raw emotion and will devastate you, but also leave you with that romance you crave, pick this one up.

 

Excerpt:

Right now I wanted to just be here in silence with my best friend. And somehow, I don’t know how, but Luna sensed it. So we sat there for what felt like two hours but was probably a lot less, until I opened my eyes again. Her eyes were closed, too. I watched her for a while.

When she opened her eyes, it felt like she took something away from me.

“Let’s jump,” she said.

“I’m quite fond of my limbs, Moonshine.”

“Stop being such a big baby.”

“Big, quarterback baby who just finished a football season in one piece and would like to keep all his body parts intact.”

She crawled out of the treehouse and settled on the branch. It was thick, but I doubted it could carry my muscular ass for more than a few seconds before snapping. I rolled my eyes and settled next to her. She slipped her hand in mine.

“Three, two, one.”

It was a short, sweet way down.

About QUIET MAN 

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Ashley comes a new story in her Dream Man series…

Charlotte “Lottie” McAlister is in the zone. She’s ready to take on the next chapter of her life, and since she doesn’t have a man, she’ll do what she’s done all along. She’ll take care of business on her own. Even if that business means starting a family.

The problem is, Lottie has a stalker. The really bad kind. The kind that means she needs a bodyguard.

Enter Mo Morrison.

Enormous. Scary.

Quiet.

Mo doesn’t say much, and Lottie’s used to getting attention. And she wants Mo’s attention. Badly.

But Mo has a strict rule. If he’s guarding your body, that’s all he’s doing with it.

However, the longer Mo has to keep Lottie safe, the faster he falls for the beautiful blonde who has it so together, she might even be able to tackle the demons he’s got in his head that just won’t die.

But in the end, Lottie and Mo don’t only have to find some way to keep hands off until the threat is over, they have to negotiate the overprotective Hot Bunch, Lottie’s crazy stepdad, Tex, Mo’s crew of frat-boy commandos, not to mention his nutty sisters.

All before Lottie finally gets her Dream Man.

And Mo can lay claim to his Dream Girl.

CHRISTY'S REVIEW

 

What do you get when you combine Kristen Ashley’s Dream Man series with her Rock Chick series? This book… and I loved it! Quiet Man is a novella from KA, but it’s as long as most of the books I read (about half the size of a lot of KA’s books).

Charlotte ‘Lottie’ McAlister is the sister of Jet Chavez (Rock Chick) and she’s got a stalker at work. Smithie, her boss and friend, is concerned and hires one of Hawk’s guys to play bodyguard till they can catch the creep. Mo Morrison is a commando and the guy put on Lottie 24/7. He usually has no issues with his jobs, he’s a professional, but being Lottie’s bodyguard is difficult.
 

Charlotte McAlister was a class act. Funny. Smart. Talented. Thoughtful. Together. Professional. And sexy AF. Yeah. This job was totally going to be torture.

These two have it bad for each other, but there in a place where they can’t act on it. Not while Mo is body guarding her and the perp is still out on the loose. But once they catch him… all bets are off.

This book gave me all the feels from the OG Kristen Ashley books. I loved the relationship between Mo and Lottie. It was the perfect dream man/dream woman paring. Lottie is a strong and independent woman and exactly what Mo needs. Mo is the strong and silent type, a huge guy, but has a heart of gold. I loved them together so much. Not only them, but getting to see all of my favorite characters was so great. And not only that, but meeting Mo’s friends and family… I’m gonna need some books about these new commandos!

If you’re looking for a great romance with fantastic characters, this is the book for you. And if you’re like me and have read all the Rock Chick/Dream Man books, you’re in for a real treat!!!

About KRISTEN ASHLEY

Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA and nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorize and she hadn’t taken her first breath!). Her mother said they took Kristen away, put her Mom back in her room, her mother looked out the window, and Gary was on fire (Dr. King had been assassinated four days before). Kristen’s Mom remembered thinking it was the end of the world. Quite the dramatic beginning.

Nothing’s changed.

Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana and has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus, she’s blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her family was (is) loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write. They all lived together on a very small farm in a small farm town in the heartland. She grew up with Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched).

Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up.

And as she keeps growing, it keeps getting better.

Synopsis:

Truth: From over a thousand miles away, I watched on the screen of my phone as two men murdered my wife. And I was helpless to save her.

Consumed by hate and rage, I spent four years running from my memories.

Lie: I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

Lie: There was nothing I could do to save her, either.

CHRISTY'S REVIEW:

5 stars!


 

Truth: This book was epic! Aly Martinez is one of those authors that I can always count on to deliver a strong story, and the complexity of this one blew me away. I love how things started to come together and connect in ways I didn’t see coming. Honestly, this one did not hook me from the start. It took a bit for me to truly get into it, but once I did, I was completely and utterly hooked. I mean, I could not put this book down! And after finishing it, I am so glad the next book will be out shortly. I NEED to know what happens next! 



This book started with Penn watching his wife die. It was horrific and scarred him for life. It changed him. Years later, he’s on some sort of mission. And that mission brings him to Cora. Cora is a strong woman. Even though she’s been beat down, she’s tough. Even though she’s tough, she keeps her heart soft in a lot of ways, which seems impossible to do in her situation. When she meets Penn, there is something there. Something neither one of them understand.
 

She looked at me like I was a hero. Like I was some sort of savior sent from above. Like I could possibly drag her from the pits of hell. I couldn’t even save myself and she thought I could save her? And, fucking worse, I wanted to. But I wasn’t that man. At least not for her.

There are a lot of truths these two share, but also some lies. There are things Cora never knows about Penn, and things Cora keeps from everyone. Opening up isn’t always safe in the life she’s been in. Cora is such an amazing heroine. She is a survivor, no matter what. I loved that about her. I loved that she had so much strength but also was a mama bear to so many. She cared so much. Penn is scarred and damaged, but my god- after hearing his story it’s understandable. I can’t wait to find out more about this man!

This story blew me away. It kept me on my toes and by the end had me craving more. It was emotional, gritty, and the writing was spectacular. I felt so much while reading this book and I need the next book so badly! 5 stars and highly recommend this one!
