He kept his salacious secret for years. But soon, everyone is going to be reading about it in their morning paper…
THE VARLET (and the VOYEUR)
William Moore is a long way from home. A farm boy from Oklahoma, he’s now the most well-respected member of the Irish rugby team. But appearances are often deceptive, and Will isn’t the clean-cut, all-American good-guy everyone imagines him to be. He’s got a secret, one that will tarnish his reputation forever.
THE VOYEUR (and the VARLET)
Joesy Kavanagh is a self-proclaimed mess, but she’s finally get her shi…uh, act together. She’s set her sights on becoming a veterinarian, but there’s one teeny tiny road bump. Her living arrangements are coming to an abrupt end, leaving Joesy homeless and in need of a job to pay her way through college.
THE PLAN
What he needs is a companion to keep him on the right path.
What she needs is an apartment with free rent.
Will is convinced Joesy will make the perfect companion, since she’s brutally honest and basically ‘just one of the guys.’ Joesy is convinced she can ensure Will doesn’t succumb to his voyeuristic proclivities by keeping a scrupulous eye on him.
Except, what happens when the varlet is tempted by the voyeur, and vice-versa?!
Perchance something very, very volatile. And vexing.
The Varlet and the Voyeur is a full-length romantic comedy novel, can be read as a standalone, and is the 4th(and last) book in the USA TODAY bestselling Rugby Series.

BAD BOY BRODY by Tijan


Publish Date May 7th, 2018
Audiobook is coming SOON!

One punch took him from Hollywood’s Golden Boy to Bad Boy Brody.


The media didn’t care he was grieving his brother’s death. They descended on him, but to change his reputation, his manager got him a deal.

Act in an indie film, one that already had Oscar buzz, and he’d get the movie roles he needed to secure his future.


He took the deal.


Yet he wasn’t prepared for the real-life people behind the script.

He wasn’t prepared for the murder the movie was based on.

And he really wasn’t prepared for her, the biggest secret of all.


She was wild. She was beautiful. She defied gravity.


But was she the leading role that would tame him?

Bad Boy Brody by Tijan

Tijan is one of a few authors who is an automatic read for me. I fall into her books and the words fly by and this standalone book was no exception.

Brody is on the cusp of making it huge as a Hollywood actor when on the night of his big premiere he gets a feeling that something isn't right & calls his brother who he tragically hears die in a car crash. Grieving, Brody turns to drink trying to cope with his emotions and life takes a rapid downward spiral.

When Brody half emerges from this dark tunnel he finds his reputation in tatters and betrayed by those that should have protected him.

In order to get his career back on track and prove to the movie company that he isn't a risk, he agrees to make a smaller movie based on a true story about a family called the Kellermans called Unbroke. This takes Brody to the mountains in Montana and the family ranch, which is the location of the film set. It's here in the wild, Brody catches his first glimpse of a girl he thinks might be a ghost.

Morgan Kellerman was 10 years old when her mother was murdered and her existence has been kept a secret. Morgan has lived her life in solitude with a herd of wild mustangs and lives more animal than human. She has a beautiful bond with a female horse called Shoal & her foal Shiloh, who Morgan thinks of as a "sister". Morgan has emotionally detached from society and she needs the outdoors & the wild to survive.

This was so much more than a romance, it's truely written with such emotion and beauty added to that the story has a mysterious feel to it. Tijan teases the reader giving you so many questions that need answering, it was packed with lies, deceit and twists you were left wondering throughout how it was going to end.

I adored both Morgan & Brody's characters, Morgan was so different and unique and although her and Brody came from totally different worlds, they fit together perfectly like two pieces of a broken puzzle.

4 & a half couldn't-put-it down stars.

REVIEW TOUR - JOCK ROW by Sara Ney

     

Scarlett is always the sensible one: The sober driver. The planner. The one holding your hair back while you're worshiping the porcelain gods.

Week-after-week, she visits Jock Row with her friends—the universities hottest party scene and breeding ground for student athletes. And if keeping her friends out of trouble, and guys out of their pants, was a sport, she'd be the star athlete.

Being a well known jock-blocker gets her noticed for all the wrong reasons; just like that, she's banned from Jock Row. NO GUY WANTS A GIRL AROUND WHO KEEPS THEIR JOCK FRIENDS FROM GETTING LAID.

"Rowdy" Wade is the hot shot short-stop for the university's baseball team—and the unlucky bastard who drew the short straw: keep little Miss Goody Two-Shoes out of the Baseball House.

But week-after-week Scarlett returns, determined to get inside.

ADD TO GOODREADS

 

   
Jesus Christ, she has a dimple in her damn cheek.
I’m a sucker for those.
She shoots me a tentative smile, ass parked on the stoop, back propped against the wooden siding of the house.
It’s obvious that she’s blushing by the way she ducks her head, glancing down at the floor, the soft glow from the two busted lamps illuminate the crown of her head.
The porch lights are busted and rusty, needing their bulbs changed, one flickering—the other just about to burn out. It makes the entire place look like a goddamn Halloween fun-house, casting a weird glow on the girl’s smooth, pale skin.
And her pretty dimple.
Stop staring at it, dipshit.
I cast my glance at her outfit, doing my best to analyze her under the dim lights; she must have been sweaty inside the house; I got a good look at her before convincing her to follow me, but still study her as if seeing her for the first time.
Both of her boots are tucked under her legs, and she sits, cross-legged on the ground. Blows out a frustrated puff of air that translates into a billowing stream of steam.
“So.” She wraps her puffed sleeved arms around her knees, hugging them tight. Shivers. “Now what?”
Her prim ponytail is jaunty, bobbing when she tilts her head to gaze over at me.
“Now I babysit you.”
“Lovely. We can bond.”
I position my large body against the railing, giving it a gentle shake to make sure it’s sturdy before supporting all my weight on it. It’s solid and secure and is going to get real uncomfortable real fucking fast if I have to stand here all night.
The girl raises her brows at me. They appear black in this light; full and arched expertly. “Have you babysat anyone before?”
“No one I managed to keep alive,” I joke. “A few cousins my parents forced me to watch a few times; never would feed them but would occasionally throw out a dog bone so they wouldn’t get hungry.”
She smiles, dimple denting the smooth right side of her face. “Is that what you have planned for me?”
I raise my empty hands. “I’m fresh out of Scooby snacks. Guess we’ll both have to starve.”
“Sorry you have to sit out here.”
“Really?” I sound hopeful. “No one is forcing you to sit out here.”
Her light laugh is quiet. “Fine. I guess I’m not that sorry.” She bites down on her lower lip. “I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t enjoying your discomfort—just a little bit.”
“Gee, thanks.”
     

4 STAR REVIEW


This was so cute. I have to be honest I wasn’t sure I was going to like this one 10% in. That being said I like Sara Ney’s books so I kept going. Scarlett is the sensible friend that escorts her girlfriends to Jock Row for the Friday night parties. Her first night there she is labeled cock blocker (due to pointing out how stupid the boys are) and kicked out of the party. The team captain of the baseball team Rowdy throws her out but she will not go away. They end up spending the night on the porch while she tries to convince him to let her in. That night changes them. Scarlett keeps returning every Friday on the guise of getting back in. What she really wants is to keep up the witty banter with Rowdy and he is all too happy to wait for her.

I loved the slow burn and the banter between Rowdy and Scarlett. Surprisingly these two get to their HEA without any angst. That lack of drama did make the relationship seem a little too sweet and perfect at times. Nevertheless, I thought they were really cute together. If you are looking for some laughs and a sweet romance, you cannot go wrong with these two. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Maybe Don't Wanna ~ Lani Lynn Vale, Release

Title: Maybe Don't Wanna
Series: The Simple Man Series #2
Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Genre: Romance Suspense
Release Date: May 4, 2018


Peter Parker Penn.
Unlike the superhero his mother named him after, Parker is no good guy.
In fact, if there’s a picture in the dictionary under anti-hero, it’s his.
Parker’s spent his life trying to get back on the right side of the tracks, but each step he takes forward, he takes two more steps back.
To save one, he hurts others. To make this good, he turns that bad.
For appearances’ sake, he plays the part. He does what people expect him to do—mostly. And at the end of each day, he goes back to his lonely apartment and wishes he was a different person. One who could fix the things he’s broken.
Then Kayla Nash forces her way into his life, and the world as he knows it is irrevocably changed.
Everything he thinks he has right is wrong. And everything he thinks is wrong is oh, so right.
One thing leads to another, and suddenly he’s growing a conscience, and trying to prove to her that he’s as bad as everybody says he is.
Yet she won’t listen.
She’s convinced that she can save him.
Little does she know, Parker isn’t worth saving, and never will be.

 This book was not as I expected. Oh sure I expected the usual hot as hell alpha male with a body made for sinful things and a heroine that you couldn't help but like. What I wasn't expecting was to laugh out loud so many times while reading this book. And at the most inopportune time and places!

 Kayla was the silliest of all the women Lani's every written about, in my opinion. She's sweet, yet has the mind of guy. She's crazy and also the gentlest person you'd ever want to be around. She also has the strangest obsession with holes. All different kinds! It's the damnedest thing ever :) And when you read the story about when she was a child finding a "hole" while traveling, I dare you not to laugh.......dare you I say!! 

 I enjoyed this story immensely. It was one of her best and I give it 5 stars. Or maybe I should give it 5 holes. Hmmm........


 
I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 9, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.
