Release Blitz: Red Heart Card By Annie Dyer

 

RED HEART CARD

Annie Dyer

Release Date: September 28

FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

 

Jude Whittingham didn’t expect his football season would be spent in the stands recovering from injury. With rest and rehab his primary focus, Jude finds his mind is becoming as messed up as his Achilles tendon. It doesn’t help that Neva, one of his many ex-girlfriends, and the team’s nutritionist, has now been assigned to his case.   Neva has more to worry about than dealing with Jude. After a series of disastrous dates and time-wasting relationships, her hope of having a baby is fading. Neva's problem – no one has passed the audition phase or come close to being father material. Well, since Jude.   When a family seems to be out of reach for Neva, not only does Jude find out about her baby dream, but he also offers to help her out. Neva can’t think of a practical reason to say no, apart from the fact that their past should probably be left exactly there.   Jude might be able to give her a baby, but just because he can, does it mean she should?   Grab your copy: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BK5C9T2W  

         

My Review:

I loved it!! This is the fifth book in the Manchester Athletic Series, a Sports Romance. Jude and Neva's story is well written, sweet, fun, and heartwarming. Jude is very handsome, and supportive. Neva is beautiful, smart, and determined. They are perfect together. This is a great reverse age gap romance. I liked the banter, the chemistry, and the slow burn romance. The supporting characters are great. I enjoyed it. I highly recommend this series.

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.

Blog Tour: Clever Girl By Laralyn Doran

 


Today I am celebrating the release of CLEVER GIRL by Laralyn Doran. This is the third standalone novel in the Driven Women series featuring strong women and the men who fall for them. Come check out Mia and Gus before downloading your copy. You're gonna love this friends to lovers romance. Be sure to enter the giveaway.

Clever Girl


Amazon | iBooks | B&N | Kobo Goodreads

Mia St. James

Men want me. I rev their engines.
No, really, it’s my job to make their cars go faster.
Some say I’m the perfect woman—but not Gus Quinlan.
In college, I knew not to lose my heart to him. Yet, he still managed to break it.
Years later, he helps me land a dream job with a women-led race team.
He even invites me to be his roommate—that’s how far in the “friend zone” I am.
Until he kisses me and promises I’m more.

Some say I’m sharp, others say clever…but when it comes to Gus, I can be such a fool.
Is my heart strong enough to give him a second chance when the smart thing to do is to leave him in the rearview mirror?

Gus Quinlan

In my life, I have women I date and friends who are women…and then there is Mia St. James.
She crashes into my well-constructed world with the sweetness I remember
and a new sexy confidence that has me spinning my wheels.
My friends warn me not to cross that line.
Until we’re on a romantic beach under the moonlight, and…come on—I couldn’t not kiss her.

When forced to relive a trauma, I misread the data and destroy our bond.
I can rebuild a hundred-thousand-dollar engine…but how do I repair us?

Read a teaser...

Screw this, she can tell me why she’s prickly later. I turned on the charm. Stepping closer, I reached for her hand, softly taking it between both of mine as two lovers would. I stared up at her from beneath my lashes, leaning forward and brushing my lips across her cheek, drawing back slowly and deepening my voice. “Hey there, Mia Darlin’”

She pulled her hand out of mine, shoved my chest, her other hand on her hip. She fought it—the laughter, but the smirk wouldn’t be denied. “What have I told you about calling me darlin’? And wipe that stupid grin off your face, your charms and good looks don’t work on me, remember?”

I threw my head back and laughed, dragging her in for a true hug.

She softened in my hug and patted my back, accepting the greeting as I rocked her back and forth.

Harper and CJ walked up behind us, one of them commenting, “Oh, yeah. She’ll fit in just fine.”

Release Blitz: Target Man By Annie Dyer

 

Release Date: December 8

She’s out of bounds…

 

As the captain of Manchester Athletic, I know exactly what persona the media and fans need to see.

Everything else is behind tightly closed bedroom doors.

 

I didn’t have a pretty childhood. I’m all kinds of broken. The only relationships I have contain boundaries, non-disclosure agreements and safe words.

My best friend and teammate is one of the few people who knows about what I do in private.

 

My problem?

 

The one woman I think I can fall in love with - his sister.

 

Target Man is a steamy, slow burn with a bang, older brother's best friend, soccer sports romance, with a dirty talking hero who knows exactly how to take control. Be warned, one more chapter will keep you up all night!

Part of the Manchester Athletic series, but can be enjoyed as a standalone.

My Review

This is the fourth book in the Manchester Athletic Series, a Sports Romance. Jesse and Jerrica's slow burn romance is emotional, funny, and passionate, filled with angst, and twists and turns. Jesse is the team captain of Manchester Athletic, and Jerrica's older brother best friend, Nate (Heart Keeper, book 3). He is an interesting character, enigmatic, dominant, and handsome. His past is heartbreaking. Jerrica is beautiful and kind. They share a sizzling chemistry. The supporting characters are interesting. I enjoyed it.

Release Blitz: Hollywood Ball by Annie Dyer

🔥🔥HOT NEW RELEASE🔥🔥

HOLLYWOOD BALL by Annie Dyer is LIVE!

#1ClickHere: mybook.to/HollywoodBall

He plays to win; only she changed the rules.... As Manchester Athletic’s record signing, I should be basking in the adoration of fans and enjoying the perks that come with the job. Only that’s never been my style. I keep a low profile and stay focused on doing my job. A chance one-night stand on my way back from the States is about as anonymous as I can make it. She had no idea who I was, and I was pretty sure she gave me a fake name too. No numbers were exchanged, and we headed back to our so-called ordinary lives. The chance of a repeat should’ve been zero. Until we meet again in Manchester. Different names this time, but the same chemistry. Two people escaping their realities in anonymous hotels. It’s the perfect relationship until the media reveals our true identities to the world - and each other. 

Hollywood Ball is the second standalone in the Manchester Athletic series. It’s a fake identity, insta-lust, jet set romance with a super geek soccer player and a super-sassy heroine. 

Start the series today! mybook.to/PenaltyKiss


My Review

This is the second book in the Manchester Athletic series, a Sports Romance. OMG! I loved Otillie (Otter) and Ryan's instant attraction/love story! They are entertaining! I liked to have both POVs. Ryan, a professional footballer and a geek computer, is sweet, and very handsome. Otter, an actress, is such a beautiful character, smart, sassy, and determined. They share a sizzling hot chemistry. They are both career oriented, and they don't have time for a relationship. Fate had other plans for them. The storyline is fun, sexy, and heartwarming. Some scenes are hilarious! The supporting characters are great and interesting. I liked the friendship and brotherhood in this story. This is a beautiful story. I like this series! I need more!

Release Blitz: Second Chance Scandal by M. Robinson

 


Release Date: February 22 

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author M. Robinson comes a second chance sports romance.



Blackmail isn’t the most romantic way to propose, but with the history between us … I had no choice. 

Long story short--I broke her heart and pushed her away. Years later we reconnected, and this time she walked away. 

Neither of us knew she was pregnant.

So when we had a second chance to be a real family, I led her to believe our marriage was fake— that one football season by my side was the only way to prevent another scandal for my career. 

We were a publicist’s dream. I was football god and she was a world famous romance author. 

The world would fall in love with our story…

But the truth was… 

I was never letting them go.

My Review


This is the third book in the Second Chance series. I liked Jax and Sophie's story. Jax is handsome, and enigmatic. Sophie is beautiful, and strong. Their relationship is filled with miscommunication, and misunderstanding. Their son is a sweet kid. This is a good and sweet second chance to love. The story has family drama, angst, and some twists and turns. The back and forth, past to present, is well done and easy to follow. I loved to see again the characters from the first books. I enjoyed it.

Release Blitz: Penalty Kiss by Annie Dyer

PENALTY KISS by Annie Dyer is LIVE!

#1ClickHere

mybook.to/PenaltyKiss

Clean-living, wholesome, and with a constant smile plastered on her pretty face, Dee Jones is my antithesis. She’s also what I’m told I need to polish my somewhat tarnished image – apparently being papped getting friendly with a fellow holiday maker on a sun lounger after your ex does a kiss-and-tell with the media isn’t exactly what Manchester Athletic deems great publicity for their bad boy midfielder. A repair job is needed, and the club is hoping that the super shiny star player for the women’s team can transfer some of her good-girl sunshine stardust on to me. But Dee hates me and I’m the last thing she wants to deal with right now, because Miss Dee has problems of her own. Problems that could score her an own goal. She’s meant to be my penalty, but will she let me be her kiss instead? Penalty Kiss is the first standalone in the Manchester Athletic series. Meet the team in this grumpy/sunshine, enemies-to-lovers, bad boy athlete romance.


My Review

This is the first book in the Manchester Athletic series, a Sports Romance. Dee and Rowan's story is sweet, sexy, and heartwarming. Dee is lovely, smart, caring and supportive.  Rowan is a grumpy bad boy.  He is handsome! They are both footballers of the Manchester Athletic football club (men and women's squads).  They are opposites attract, but they are perfect together.  I loved to follow them in their journey to love. Dee's sister Joanne is such a frustrating character.  Dee's nephew Toby is cute! I liked the characters, the banter, the slow burn romance, and the beautiful ending.  This is a great an enemies-to-lovers romance, and I enjoyed it.  Looking forward to reading Hollywood Ball, the next book in the series.

This is the second book in The Triple Trouble Series, a Contemporary Romance. This is a Series of standalone stories, with cross over characters. I haven't read the first book yet, but I will.

Looking forward to reading the third book in the Series, Ella's sister Eva's story.
