Tragedy and betrayal sent her running...
And now she's starting over far away from the person she used to be.
Lyric Hayes tried to be the perfect daughter and the perfect girlfriend, but those days are over. She's ready to begin again with a vow to herself: no relationships, no complications, and no turning back.
Easier said than done...
Confident, successful, and charming David Pearson makes her vow nearly impossible. He has it all, and David knows better than anyone not to judge someone by what's on the surface. Wanting to own her heart, he'll do anything to gain her trust and save her from herself. But is David harboring secrets of his own? Is his past just another version of a song Lyric has heard before?





He’s the one person she shouldn’t want But the only person she can’t live without.
SarahBeth Pearson has always made the right decisions, walking the line. But when that line begins to blur, her path, her future, changes course. It was supposed to be a secret—a secret that was never to be leaked. But how can true love be kept quiet?
It can’t.
It couldn’t. It didn’t.
And now she has to face the consequences. 




What do you get when you mix the perfect boyfriend, a fickle and indecisive girlfriend, and a bad boy guitarist?
A recipe for seduction, angst, and heartbreak.
Olivia Barrett and Emmett Hudson have had their share of obstacles, but nothing has ever jeopardized their relationship.
Until Tyler Chamberlain...
Olivia can't resist the sexy, brooding musician, but her heart is with Emmett. Even after a few years,
she can't forget...and Tyler won't let go.




Don’t screw your employee. 
Stuffy, arrogant Sebastian Murphy plays by the rules. That’s how he’s become so successful and downright filthy rich. However, there’s one rule that’s just meant to be broken. Fed up with Anna Fletcher’s sassy, cocky attitude, Sebastian decides it’s time to show her who’s really the boss.
Don’t sleep with your boss.
Fiery Anna knows the rules, and they mean nothing to her. The explosive chemistry between Anna and Sebastian is the one thing they can agree on...and can’t deny. Succumbing to temptation, they realize that once isn’t enough—not even close. Agreeing to a secret affair, they explore a world outside of work and in the bedroom. But, secrets aren’t meant to be kept, and once the truth comes out, can Anna and Sebastian find something more than a secret affair? 










Stacey is the New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author of Second Chances, Shadows of the Past (co-authored with H.M. Ward), the Nashville Secrets series, and the Nashville U series.
She’s also the single mom of three amazingly crazy boys and since she’s a transplanted Yankee, considers herself a big city girl living in a small town. Because she can’t live in the cities she loves – Nashville, New York, Chicago – she writes about people who do instead. When she isn’t writing, you can usually find her curled up with a sexy book, or more accurately, scrolling through Tumblr. She also isn’t afraid to admit her favorite addictions: Tumblr GIF’s, social media, Spotify, Dr. Pepper, and of course, dirty books. Hunky heroes with control issues and strong heroines who stand up to them are her weakness. She loves to talk books – not just her own – with anyone, so send her a message!

*Book Tour* Death by Chocolate Lab by Bethany Blake

Death By Chocolate Lab by Bethany Blake

New Series
Kensington (February 28, 2017)
Mass Market Paperback: 304 pages
ISBN-13: 978-1496707383
E-Book ASIN: B01GBAG2T0



Pet sitter Daphne Templeton has a soft spot for every stray and misfit who wanders into the quaint, lakeside village of Sylvan Creek. But even Daphne doesn’t like arrogant, womanizing Steve Beamus, the controversial owner of Blue Ribbon K-9 Academy. When Steve turns up dead during a dog agility trial, Daphne can think of a long list of people with motives for homicide, and so can the police. Unfortunately, at the top of the list is Daphne’s sister, Piper—Steve’s latest wronged girlfriend.
Certain that Piper is innocent, in spite of mounting evidence to the contrary, Daphne sets out to clear her sister’s name—and find Axis, Steve’s prize-winning chocolate Labrador, who went missing the night of Steve’s death. Aided by Socrates, her taciturn basset hound, and a hyperactive one-eared Chihuahua named Artie, Daphne quickly runs afoul of Detective Jonathan Black, a handsome and enigmatic newcomer to town, who has no appreciation for Daphne’s unorthodox sleuthing.
Can a free-spirited pet sitter, armed only with a Ph.D. in Philosophy and her two incompatible dogs, find the real killer before she becomes the next victim?
Includes recipes for homemade dog treats!


My Review:
3 out of 5 stars
★★★☆☆

This is the first book in the Petsitting mystery series. As a dog lover and of course a cozy lover, this book caught my attention. The story moved at a good pace in some areas and then slowed down in others which sometimes made it hard for me to keep my attention on the book. The main character Daphne could be really frustrating and confusing at times. The mystery behind the murder had me intrigued enough to keep reading. The killer was a surprise since it wasn't someone I suspected. I really enjoyed a couple of the dog characters, Socrates and Artie. I felt so bad for the poor little chihuahua Artie for everything that he has been through. There are a number of nutritious and delicious sounding recipes included in the back for you to serve your dog. I'm thinking of making a couple of them for my furry babies. I'm keeping my eye out for the next book in the series so I can check it out also.

*Release Blitz* Renegade by Laramie Briscoe




Title: Renegade
Series: Moonshine Task Force #1
Author: Laramie Briscoe
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 9, 2017



Blurb

When you fall in love with the most unexpected person, at the most unexpected time……

Ryan “Renegade” Kepler

I’m the type of man who knows what I want. I make up my mind and stay in my lane, never veering off the course I set for myself.

Going into the military? Did it. Youngest member of the Moonshine Task Force?

That’s me. Get my best friend’s older sister in bed? It was my pleasure.

Age means nothing to me. I’ve seen and done things men twice my age never will. What I want more than anything is someone to share my life with and that person is my best friend's older sister, Whitney.

Whitney Trumbolt

Ryan is ten years my junior, but damn, being a cougar never felt as good as it did the night we spent together. Now I’m struggling with wanting things to either go back to the way they were or spend every night in his arms.

Make my wedding planning company the best in the south? Did it. Ignore the way my body trembles when I see Ryan? Epic fail. Freak out when I see a positive pregnancy test staring back at me? Complete with mascara running down my face and clutching my pearls.

Looks like things won’t go back to the way they were. There’s a man in my life that doesn’t take no for an answer. He’s the one who makes my blood run hot, cheeks turn red, and heart beat wildly within my chest. His name is Renegade.

My Review:
4 out of 5 stars

This was my first book by this author and I really enjoyed it. The storyline was engaging and the characters were well developed. I had trouble putting the book down to do other things because I wanted to find out what would happen next. I enjoyed the relationship between Ryan and Whitney. It progressed at a steady pace and didn't seem too rushed. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

*Release Boost* Switch by Adriana Locke




Title: Switch
Series: Landry Family #3
Author: Adriana Locke
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: February 20, 2017



Blurb

Mallory Sims is late for her first day of work.

After spilling her tea, she discovers she has no gas in her car. Add that her arm keeps sticking to her dress from syrup left on the console of her car, flustered feels like an understatement.

Then she sees her new boss.

Graham Landry is the epitome of NSFW in his custom-fit suit, black-rimmed glasses, and a look so stern her libido doesn’t stand a chance. Being flustered is just the start of her problems.

Her punctuality is only the start of his. With a pink slip in hand, he’s been waiting on his new secretary to show up only to let her go. Then she rushes in with her doe eyes and rambling excuses, smelling like bacon and lavender. The termination paper falls to the side as she falls in his arms.

This is a disaster in the making. Not because of his pinpoint exactness or her free spirit, but because when they’re together, the sparks that fly threaten to burn the whole place down.

Excerpt

Her skin is pale and creamy, a soft framework for the deep chestnut hair cascading across her shoulders. A dress the color of moss in the summer showcases toned arms and a long, lean line from her shoulders to her calves. A thin rope belt cinches her trim waist, one that I can imagine digging my fingers into.

I clear my throat. “Can I help you?”

With something besides getting out of that dress?

“I think you probably can,” she breathes, then blushes a pretty shade of pink. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. What I mean is …”

She’s flustered. It’s adorable and sexy at the same time. I should say something, interject, help her out, but I don’t. I like this entirely too much.

“I’ll stop talking now.” She flashes me a pretty smile, one that catches my attention in ways it shouldn’t at eight-sixteen a.m. Taking a step towards me, the toe of her shoe catches on the water bottle she didn’t pick up and she comes barreling my way.

Before I know what’s happening, I reach out and catch her under a spray of loose leaf paper.

“Omph!” she heaves as she lands in my arms and I’m surrounded by a sweet, earthy scent.

I should let her go. I should back away, direct her to the front desk to get directions to wherever she’s going, and retreat to my office. Regardless of how sexy her breasts feel pressed against me or the way her ass pops as my fingers lace together at the dip at the bottom of her spine, I have things to do today. Important things. Lots of them. Even if I can’t pinpoint one at the moment.

Large, nearly golden-colored eyes peer up at me. They’re crystal clear, almost like I can see all the way to the depths of her soul. They’re incredible tones of the purest gold and I can’t look away.

The feel of her body against mine sparks something inside me—a carnal, visceral reaction that’s led by feeling rather than intellect. “Are you okay?” I ask, trying desperately to use the brainpower I’m known for in most circles and not the cock I’m known for in others.

“I think so.” She pulls her gaze away from mine. A connection is actually snapped between us and I’m almost certain she feels it too because her features fall. “I’m just running late …”

Hell. Fucking. No.

I’m afraid to ask the next question. If the answer is what I think it is, I’m going to kill my little sister.

Haunted by a photographic memory, I couldn’t escape the worst night of my life.
The blood they shed.

The evil that still walked free.
It was all I saw. Those memories, my childhood—the images.

Silenced and scarred.

Torment turned to blinding rage. Hate sought revenge, which pursued death.
Then there was life.
The moon.
