What to expect:

✔️Sexy single dad

✔️One bed

✔️Holiday getaway

✔️Opposites attract

 

 

BLURB: 

When the divorced mother of the groom goes head-to-head with the single father of the bride, they might be the next couple experiencing a heart-to-heart.

 

When my son asked me to take his ticket for the honeymoon that didn’t happen, I balked. What would I do on a ten-day vacation in Belize? 

 

More importantly, what caused my son and the love of his life to call off their wedding?

I didn’t have an answer, and he wasn’t sharing

So, I’d traded places with him.

 

Over a week of sunshine and me-time was on the docket until he arrived.

 

Dallas Cole had silver in his beard, eyes the color of an ocean, and the most annoying drawl. And by annoying, I mean, thigh-clenching, heart-hammering, make me want to kiss him swagger.

 

Only, that’s something I would never do, because he’s the single father of the bride for the wedding that never was, and now, he’s encroaching on my parentmoon. 

 

One house. One bed. Not happening.

 

So what if he calls me darlin’ in that swoony voice. Not going there despite his smirky grin amongst the gray on his jaw. Not going to think about the fact he saw me naked . . . by accident.

 

Nope.

 

The former father of the bride will only be going head-to-head with this protective mother of the groom, not lips to lips, or any other body part. And definitely not heart to heart.

 

Tropes: sexy silver fox; later-in-life; genXromance; one-bed; forced proximity; holiday destination; single dad; single mom; he falls first

Tessa Mandel

The catcalls and whistles get old, but cowboys are a necessary evil when you work at the Bear Creek Rodeo. While rodeo life isn’t for me, it’s the only thing supporting my secret side career. I live a double life, but I know my dream of returning to the big city is close to becoming reality. If being an orphan has taught me anything, it’s that you can’t count on anyone but yourself. Working for the rodeo brings many distractions and I can’t afford the complications that come with sliding between the sheets with a smooth talker in tight jeans and a cowboy hat. I have big plans for myself and none of them include being charmed by any of these cowboy Casanovas.

But then I meet the infamous Rhett Kearney, who makes my stomach flutter by just saying my name. One kiss from his gorgeous Irish lips turn my world upside down and my panties inside out.

My timeline doesn’t include falling for a handsome cowboy… but it might be too late for that.

Rhett Kearney

As one of the top saddle bronc riders in the world, I’m no stranger to hard work that draws out blood, sweat and tears. Every time I leave Ireland to compete, I feel the weight of my birthright square on my shoulders, but nothing compares to the roar of a crowd when I climb onto that bucking horse, riding it as hard as I can for those eight seconds. The goal has always been the same — compete in US National Rodeo Finals and make as much money as I can. It’s a race against time, as age is not your friend when you are a professional cowboy. So I don’t waste my time chasing skirts and getting tangled up with a pretty face who’s looking for her next meal ticket out of town.

But I couldn’t prepare myself for the sassy Tessa Mandel or the punch to the gut when I see her beautiful baby blue eyes flare with desire, making me want to risk it all for one more taste of her honeysuckle kisses.

I didn’t travel halfway around the world to lose. I’m taking home my grand prize… she just doesn’t know it’s her yet.  

Bear Creek Rodeo is a series of contemporary western love stories written by bestselling authors Jennifer D. Bokal, Amy L. Gale, Sara Jolene, Jessica Marin and Kirsten Osbourne.

[Release Blitz, Giveaway & Book Review]: HURT by Lydia Michaels

Title: HURT

Series: The Hurt Series #1

Author: Lydia Michaels

Genre: Psychological Thriller/Dark Romance

Release Date: May 21, 2019

Award Winning Author, Lydia Michaels, enters the world of DARK ROMANCE with an unforgettably suspenseful psychological thriller!

IT’S GOING TO HURT…

Callan MacGregor might speak with the eloquence of a Scottish poet, but a hard life has turned him into a merciless killer. With a first-hand account of hell, he trusts nothing and no one but the hollow hurt tortured into his bones. Sacrificing all, he must escape Scotland to survive.

Emery Tanner is captivated—to the point of obsession—by the stunning Scotsman tending bar at the Imperial Hotel. With as many dark secrets as he has scars, she hungers to know every exquisite inch of him, but her shy nature leaves her tongue-tied. Despite her sense that innate kindness rests beneath his savage surface, Callan MacGregor is a man to approach with caution—if not fear.

When tragedy strikes and Emery’s world is shattered, she learns just how ruthless Callan can be. Violence has shaped his soul and love has always led to loss in both their broken lives. But as secrets are exposed, they find truth within the hurt and awaken a desire to become whole once more.

WARNING: HURT is a Dark Romantic Thriller and contains multiple scenes of violence. It is not intended for sensitive audiences or readers under the age of eighteen.

“Hurt is a masterpiece. Easily one of the best books I’ve ever read. I will never forget it.” —New York Times Bestselling Author Pam Godwin “A Home Run!” —Author Michelle Windsor “Raw and Beautiful! Hypnotic and Haunting! Hurt will absolutely WOW you!” —Blushing Babes Are Up All Night “A Masterpiece!” —Author Haylee Thorne “This is Lydia’s first dark romantic thriller and I pray it will not be her last!” —AJ’s Book re-Marks “You haven’t read dark like this. To find such tenderness amongst all of the filth lies and horrors set Lydia’s writing apart from the rest.” —Author Andrea Bills “Devastatingly beautiful story!” –Author D.D. Lorenzo

Hard Hitting story with some brutal incidents wrapped in Gut wrenching sentiments. It's quite a Pandora's Box of troubles opened by lydia as she uncases all the wrongs in the world for us to experience.

I believe she writes every book with a purpose, her stories carry a powerful social message and this one carries the MOST IMPORTANT one of all. 

Its dark, distrubing at times but essential nevertheless. Seeing the current political climate, this book couldn't have come at a better time.

There's a Gentle Giant - Callan MacGregor. Forced into violence, his mercy is trampled till his heart is nothing but a emotionless crusher of lives

Violence was a stubborn cancer of the soul, and the profane brutality of such a vicious fight did not easily wash away. Every time Callan unleashed his temper, the gaping hole inside of him grew grander and filthier, like a tarnished cup marking his ill-gotten victories. Trophies of shame collected in the shapes of scars. 

He's a family keeper, loyal, responsible man who fights to sustain his family of younger sister, Innis and brother Gavin. In other words he's invicible & unbreakable till........

Set in Glasgow which is in Scotland (I kept reading the book in Irish accent🤦‍♀️)😁

It starts as a struggling life story of three orphaned siblings trying to put a roof on their heads and trying to make something of their miserable existence, every day. An awful incident happens to Callan that destroys his idyllic small haven of a family home.

“I was undefeated. But in the end, I lost everything that mattered.”

He moves to  America and meets Emery who works in the same hotel as him. Shy, hesitant, sweet Em'ry  is a victim and a struggling survivor and these gentle souls come together to heal and recuperate together

“Let’s be the rain, sliding down each other’s skin, washing away whatever came before.” 

The plot is Applause worthy, no doubt about it. It takes a lot of courage and initiative to write such a relevant story on a contemporary topic. Lydia takes on this endeavour with stark honesty and realism. She doesn't sugar coat stuff and neither does she shirk from pushing the envelope just to conform to reader sensitivities. 

She has gone "THERE" and then some !!!!!

Narrative is hard hitting and forces you to think. 

I fell in love with gentle poetic soul that is Callan. He's a mammoth guy with putty heart that beats for his siblings, his friend Rhys and Em'ry. His broad shoulders have carried enough weight to kill a normal man but yet he piles on more to protect his family and manages to not stumble or crumble under it.

Emery is adorable and you have the urge to shield her always. 

Rhys is very noble and loyal and deserves a special mention too

Compassionate story that comes from a compassionate heart.

[Release Tour & Giveaway]: Cry Mercy by Rie Warren

Title: Cry Mercy

Series: Blood Legion MC Book 1

Author: Rie Warren

Genre: MC Romance

Release Date: May 20, 2019

Gritty star-crossed lovers? You have no idea . . . 

ANGEL

I thought I knew bad times. The worst times. My dad murdered, the MC that’s rightfully mine ripped apart by corrupt rule. I didn’t know anything about true horror until I met a Tennessean girl named Mercy. 

Angel and Mercy, frigging ironic, right? You don’t know the half of it. Blood Legion MC is my legacy, and revenge against me is Mercy’s. If you’re looking for gritty star-crossed lovers in the Crescent City, you’ve found it. Because there’s a damn good chance one of us won’t make it out of here alive. 

MERCY

I’m at the mercy of my menfolk. Mercy . . . ironic, isn’t it? Because my cousin and my uncle show no mercy to me, despite my name. I’m used against my will. I’m beaten and worse when I don’t behave. I have no freedom, only one friend, and no chance of escape even though New Orleans is so vibrant I feel like I could touch the colors. 

I fled the compound for just one night. I shouldn’t have. I met a biker called Angel—Angel. He’s blond as a seraph, but big and tall and full of sweet talk I’ve never heard before. Except he’s my family’s enemy. 

Angel can’t be my only hope because my kin have vowed to take out him and the rest of the Blood Legion MC in one big Tenn-tucky blaze of glory.

“Hey, Angel! You got a live one there?” A man with tons of chunky silver rings on his fingers yelled over to our quiet corner. “Fuck. Off. Saint,” Angel replied, swiping him the middle finger without even looking. “Saint?” I asked, lips curling together. “And Angel.” Angel winked. “And don’t forget Mercy. Must be destined, oui?”I smothered a smile, taking another long drink of my beer. “Well, I don’t think he’s a saint or you’re an angel. Not by the way those pretty ladies looked like they were competing for your company earlier.” “You saw that?” Groaning, he rubbed a hand down his cheek. Then his face lit up from the inside. “So you were watching me just as much as I was watching you.” I couldn’t help but laugh as he gloated. Then I pressed my palm against his chest and lifted up to the toes of my boots to whisper against his jaw, “I was waiting to see if you’d get your eyes gouged out.” He laughed loudly, tipping his head back so his gold curls shimmered. I snickered, draining the rest of my beer. “Buy you another?” His arm ringed around my waist. And alarm bells went off. I wrestled free, quickly checking the time on my watch. Almost midnight. “I have to go.” I slammed my bottle onto the nearest table. “Didn’t mean to scare you off, Mercy.” Angel stepped in front of me as I waded to the door. He held his hands raised in front of him. I dodged around him, fleeing like I should have done an hour ago. Running down the sidewalk, I tripped on the uneven pavement in my over-sized boots. A strong arm banded around my waist, drawing me up and steadying me. “Got you, beb.” Puffs of breath pelted against my ear, and then Angel released me from his grasp. He spun me gently around, his hair like a halo lit by the streetlight. “At least let me give you a ride. Where you headed?” I shook my head. “I just need to go. Please.” I got the feeling Angel L’Esperance didn’t chase just anyone. But I couldn’t let him get close to me. I didn’t want him knowing where I lived. Shame and embarrassment bled into one big ball of regret. His fingers came up to tenderly caress my cheek. The first touch on my skin from a male that didn’t make me flinch or quake or want to crawl away in fear. “Can I at least get a kiss?” My heart leaped. Angel didn’t pose a threat. How could he, with a name like that and sincerity shining in his clear blue eyes? Even more, he’d easily tunneled beneath years of distrust and hurt . . . in mere minutes. “Yes,” I whispered. He closed his eyes. He hummed a deep rumbling sound. He bent his burnished head over mine, and seconds later the softest, most pleasurable sensation melted against my mouth. His tongue took a trip across the seam of my lips, sailing to a stop before he plucked my bottom lip between both of his. When he drew back, I swore I could read dreams in his eyes. It wasn’t a kiss. It was a promise. It tasted like hope. Hope I couldn’t afford. Oh lord. “How about your number, Miss Mercy?” Hope became cinders in my mouth. “I don’t think so.” Threading his fingers through his hair, he tousled the strands even more. “At least let me put my number in your phone.” “I don’t have a cell phone.” Another thing I wasn’t allowed. He frowned heavily at me before grasping my hand and squeezing it. “Wait here.” He raced back to the bar, and I knew I should leave while I could. But my lips tingled. I pressed my fingers against my mouth, remembering the firm warm pressure. I wasn’t going to make it back to the Lair in time. Half a minute later, Angel ran back to me. His grin didn’t make it to his eyes that time. He stuffed a napkin in my pocket. “My number. Call me.” “Why?” He laughed curtly. “Whaddya mean why? I wanna see you again, Mercy.” Gathering my hands in his, he asked, “You sure I can’t give you a ride?” “I have to go. I have to go now.” “Okay.” He released me. “Okay.” I turned away from him, pulling the napkin out to crush it in my hand. To hold it in my hand. Dashing away tears that came from the deep hidden well within, I sprinted. I looked back once, and Angel still watched. He watched until I was out of sight. I tried to keep my bearings. I hoped I got home before my kinfolk. Because something bad would happen if they found me missing.
