My Review

This was my first KN Smith's book. This is the first audiobook in the Urban Boys series, a Young Adult Urban Fantasy. The characters are well developed, and intriguing.  The storyline is complex, original, entertaining, and captivating, filled with action, adventure, mystery, danger, magic, and twists and turns.  The audiobook production is unique, and the sound effects are well done.  Glenn Steinbaum did an excellent job bringing this story to life.  #CaffeinatedPR

New Release: Hendrix by Sawyer Bennett

 

Hendrix: A Pittsburgh Titans Novel Sawyer Bennett Release Date: June 6, 2023

Synopsis:

Hendrix Bateman is one of The Lucky Three, a trio of players who were not on the Titan’s team plane the night it crashed. Feeling as if he’s been given a second chance, Hendrix is determined to make the most out of his life, but that doesn’t mean he’s not suffering from scars that can’t be seen. When I lost my Titan brothers in the crash, it was a mixed bag of emotions. I was devastated and grief stricken, but I was also grateful to be alive. Yeah, that might cause a little—okay, a lot of—guilt, but now I’m determined to live each day as if it’s my last. A night out with friends puts me in the crosshairs of Stevie Kisner—the devastatingly beautiful bar owner with a sharp tongue and a fire in her eyes that lets me know she has zero tolerance for guys like me. I’ve never been one to back away from a challenge, so I’m not dissuaded by Stevie’s tough as nails attitude or her big biker dad who looks like he wants to kill me. Fueled by too many shots and the raucous urging of my teammates, I set out to show Stevie I’ve got game both on and off the ice. While I shouldn’t be looking for anything more than a good time, I can’t help but be captivated by Stevie. She’s cool as hell and we burn hot together. But the more I get to know her, the more I can tell she’s holding something in reserve, and let’s just say I’ve got some trust issues after my last disastrous attempt at a relationship. Now I need to decide if I’m going to let my past dictate my future or if I am willing to put my heart on the line to find out if Stevie is exactly what I think she is—my everything.

The Lady and the Earl

Amazon | Goodreads

A woman’s gaslighting behavior is a prescription for disaster.
But for whom?

Lady Harriet Manning is a skilled physician. She spends her days assisting her father, a renowned physician, and volunteering with the Ladies Auxiliary. Despite her passion for medicine and helping those in need, Harriet is bound by societal expectations that prevent her
from practicing medicine openly. Meanwhile, her mother is constantly pressuring her to find a suitable husband.

During a trip back to London, Lord Asheton, the Earl of Lockford, has a riding accident and is brought to Harriet’s clinic for treatment. The two grow close during his recovery, and their relationship begins to blossom. However, when Harriet’s family discovers that Asheton is the son of the Duke of Whippany, they are shocked. Harriet’s mother encourages her to put her medical abilities aside and conform to society’s expectations in order to fit in with Gavin’s world.

Despite their engagement, the ton is not happy with the match. Daphne Willis, in particular, has other plans in mind. Will Harriet and Asheton be able to overcome the obstacles in their path and find true love?

My Review

This is the second book in Return to Ladies of Sommer by the Sea trilogy, a Regency Romance.  This is a spin off series to the amazing The Ladies of Sommer by the Sea trilogy.  Lady Harriet and Lord Asheton's story is beautifully written, fast-paced, and engaging.  Harriet is such a wonderful character, strong, independent, and caring.  Asheton is handsome, supportive, and protective.  They are perfect together.  The storyline is interesting, entertaining, and captivating, filled with mystery, and twists and turns.  The supporting characters are great. I enjoyed it.  Looking forward to reading The Lady and the Rogue, the next book in the series.  #CaffeinatedPR #BlogTour #RuthACasie #RegencyRomance  

Read an Excerpt

“Where were you going in such a hurry?”

Lockford noticed Turner kept an eye on him.

“I’m on my way to London. It was foolhardy, but I wanted to run full out.” He snorted a chuckle. “I imagined I was leading in the steeplechase, and I’ll have you know, I had every intention of winning.”

“Until your mount threw you. He must have had other ideas about winning.” Turner shook his head and chortled.

Houses began to appear on either side of the road. They were coming into Sommer-by-the-Sea.

Turner pulled the wagon up to the side of a small building.

“We’re in time.” He nodded toward the lamp lit in the window. “The doctor is in.”

Turner hopped off the wagon, and with his help, Lockford hobbled into the clinic.

The pain was beginning to gather once again. He was lightheaded, and his stomach churned. Standing was too far from the ground. He needed to lie down.

“Mr. Turner?”

Lockford, still holding on to Turner, turned toward the door across the room and stared at the person in front of him. His tight expression relaxed into a warm smile.

She gave him one look. “Jasper,” she called without moving her eyes from the injured man at her door. She stared at him, and his heart pounded.

“Lady Harriet, he’s been in a riding accident.” Mr. Turner struggled as Lockford fought to stand on his own.

“My lady.” Lockford gave her a slight nod. “May I be so bold as to introduce myself? I am Mr. Asheton Dunn.”

He stared into her lovely eyes, silently congratulating himself for remembering to use his pseudonym, and proceeded to collapse onto the floor.

Review: Unscripted with Mila By Melanie Moreland

Unscripted With Mila by Melanie L. Moreland

Are you looking for:

 ✔️ Celebrity with a secret

 ✔️ Novelist with a pen name

✔️  Close Proximity

✔️ Mental health/Medical rep

✔️  No 3rd act breakup

𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 

Mila Morrison prefers the silent company of her keyboard to that of people. She lives vicariously through the characters she creates.

Nicholas Scott only feels comfortable when he’s playing the role of someone else. He would rather be anyone but himself.

Both of them are hiding, too afraid to let anyone in.

Their attraction is unscripted, as is the bond that forms between them.

When the world around them threatens to tear them apart, are they strong enough to make the final scene?

MY REVIEW 

This is book 6 in the amazing Vested Interest: ABC Corp Series, a next generation Series of the outstanding Vested Interest Series (BAM Series). I read it and loved it. The audiobook version is perfect! Mila and Nicholas's story is so sweet, emotional, and heartwarming. Nicholas is enigmatic, and handsome. Mila is a wonderful character, smart, strong, and supportive. I loved to see again the characters from the BAM Series. This is a beautiful love story. John Lane and Maxine Mitchell did an outstanding job bringing this story to life. I highly recommend this series.
