Let Me Be Your Hope
Music and Letters Series Book 2 
By Lynsey M. Stewart

Abi Sinclair is a determined social worker and committed party girl. She’s independent, ballsy and living the single girls’ dream. But underneath the bravado and empty one-night stands, she's hiding a broken heart…

Jamie Dawson is Abi’s lost love, the only man who ever made her feel alive. When he left Nottingham two years ago to take care of his terminally ill mother, they agreed to communicate only by letter, both believing their love was meant to be.

One regrettable lie forced them down very different paths.

One rash decision forced them apart.

But Jamie is back. And he’s Abi’s new manager. Only he’s a different man—too different.

Desperate for answers, Abi won’t stop until she uncovers the truth behind Jamie’s two-year absence…

This novel contains strong language, mainly from Abi. She can’t help it. Jamie is guilty too, particularly when passion gets the better of him.

There are also descriptions of sex, therefore this novel is only suitable for 18+

This is the second book in the Music and Letters series but can be read as a standalone.

in - Post a Comment
Title: Last First Kiss
Author: Sidney Halston
Goodreads: http://bit.ly/2w2Y7K4
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Hosted By: B&B Promotions 

Synopsis:
He's an A-list Hollywood heartthrob.
She's trying to prove herself in a man's world.
For this female bodyguard, protecting her client is simply business, but what happens
when sparks fly and the danger heats up?

After a series of box office flops, Rocco Monroe needs a hit. Bad press, shit talking, rumors,
lies…it all goes with the territory after almost two decades in the spotlight, but when he
lands the role of his career in a controversial biopic, the part of a lifetime comes with a
catch: a hired bodyguard.

Annabelle Clad is so bored she wants to scream. Her life is coding and algorithms and
binary codes…rinse and repeat. To her Rocco Monroe means freedom, a chance to show her
overprotective brother and business partner that she can contribute to Iron Clad Securities.
And no arrogant playboy will fuck up her concentration by batting his lashes at her. She
would never jeopardize her reputation by swooning over any man.

That had happened once, and she wouldn’t bear that loss or humiliation ever again. Even if
Rocco looks like a walking fantasy...

Excerpt

“You’re twenty-seven years old, and you’re absolutely stunning. And I say that as a man
with eyes, not as a man who’s hitting on you. Although, please, be aware I’m hitting on you.
I’ve been doing that since we me.”
About the Author:

USA Today bestselling author, Sidney Halston lives her life with one simple rule: "Just Do
It" -- Nike. And that's exactly what she did.

After working hard as an attorney, Sidney picked up a pen for the first time at thirty years
old to begin her dream of writing. Having never written anything other than very exciting
legal briefs, she found an outlet for her imaginative, romantic side and wrote Seeing Red.
That first pen stroke sealed the deal, and she fell in love with writing. Sidney lives in South
Florida with her husband and children. She loves her family above all else, and reading
follows a close second. When she's not writing, you can find her reading and reading and
reading. She's a reader first and a writer second. When she's not writing or reading, her life
is complete and utter chaos, trying to balance family life with work and writing (and
reading). But she wouldn't have it any other way.

Book Review - The Unrequited by Saffron A. Kent

in , - Post a Comment

Synopsis:

Layla Robinson is not crazy. She is suffering from unrequited love. But it’s time to move on. No more stalking, no more obsessive calling.

What she needs is a distraction. The blue-eyed guy she keeps seeing around campus could be a great one—only he is the new poetry professor—the married poetry professor.

Thomas Abrams is a stereotypical artist—rude, arrogant, and broody—but his glares and taunts don’t scare Layla. She might be bad at poetry, but she is good at reading between the lines. Beneath his prickly façade, Thomas is lonely, and Layla wants to know why. Obsessively.

Sometimes you do get what you want. Sometimes you end up in the storage room of a bar with your professor and you kiss him. Sometimes he kisses you back like the world is ending and he will never get to kiss you again. He kisses you until you forget the years of unrequited love; you forget all the rules, and you dare to reach for something that is not yours.  

NOTE: Please be aware that this book deals with sensitive topics like cheating. 18+ Only.


The Unrequited The Unrequited by Saffron A. Kent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Unrequited is the first novel I have ever read by Saffron A Kent and I cannot even begin to put into words how amazing it is. It is perfect in every way just like its stunning cover! I can't get over how gorgeous the cover is and when I realized the significance behind it, it just brought a whole new meaning to the story that made it that much more special.

I absolutely love the cover and am so glad Saffron went with this approach rather than a cover with some hot guy's abs. Don't get me wrong, abs are great and all, but when covers are significant to the story line they are far more special. I absolutely love it and truly think Saffron and her cover artist really knocked it out of the park with the cover of The Unrequited! ;) If you are a romance lover like myself, you need to give this novel a chance! It is without a doubt one of the best novels of 2017!

 
I have a small confession though...I've tried to sit down and write a review for The Unrequited several times, but it's just so hard to put into words everything I feel about this novel. The Unrequited is just one of those novels that leaves you breathless.


Thomas and Layla have been on my mind since the day I started reading The Unrequited, because their story is unlike any other student/teacher romance I have ever read. It crosses so many lines that at times it makes you feel like what they have is so wrong, but how can something so wrong feel so right? I asked myself this over and over again while I was reading their story, because I knew it was wrong for Layla to fall for a married man, and I knew it was even more wrong for Thomas to cheat on his wife, but when I started getting glimpses into Thomas' life, I couldn't help but feel my heart ache for him.


Thomas is a man who loves his wife. He loves her so much, he gives up everything for her, including his greatest passion, poetry, but not even all his love, devotion and all the sacrifices he has made for her could make her love him back. But he's not one to give up easily and fights for his marriage, even if he lives an unrequited love, but everyone has a breaking point, even Thomas. He eventually puts his one sided love to a side and gives into what his heart desires most...his student, Layla.



Layla is not your typical protagonist. She has a lot of baggage and a past she can't let go of. She is obsessive, stalkerish and borders a bit on the crazy side, which is the last thing I expected from the main character of the novel, but that in itself intrigued me because I have never come across a character like Layla in all the books I have ever read. It really made for an interesting story and the more I got to know both her and Thomas' characters, the more I saw why she was perfect for him.


Her "crazy" really suits Thomas and nothing she does ever scares him. On the contrary, he takes pleasure in everything she does, both figuratively and literally. He not only accepts her and all her craziness, but he understands her like no one else does.


It's obvious they were made for each other. Sadly, not everyone sees that and drives them apart, because people deem what they have as "morally wrong," but could their relationship be the right kind of wrong? You have to read to find out. I promise you won't regret it if you do, so what are you waiting for?! Go get your copy now!


Overall, I give The Unrequited five PURPLE hearts and hope you will all take a chance on Saffron's newest novel!


P.S. Saffron, thank you for giving the book world Thomas and Layla! We needed to hear their story.

Favorite Quotes:

  • I sneak a glimpse at Thomas. This time, our gazes catch. Tiny blue flames stare at me from across the space and I’m suspended in his attention.

  • He is like my personal moon—unattainable, to be admired from afar. He is my cancer, slowly killing me, and I don’t even mind.

  • “Is that really something you should be telling your professor?” “But then you’re not my professor, are you? And I’m not your student. I’m just the trespasser.” “I’d be careful then. Bad things happen to those who trespass,” he says in a voice that steals my own.

  • “Hold on, you saw that? You saw that I was sharing a drink with a guy from across the room. Were you…?” “Was I what? Watching you?” He pierces me with his stare, so intense, so serious. “Yeah.” His words drag in a lazy manner. “I was. In fact, I can’t stop watching you.” 

  • I see Layla behind my closed eyelids. But it isn’t her face or blush-stained cheeks that I see. It’s her spirit. It’s the fact that she stood up in a class full of people and read her shitty poem out loud. It’s the fact that she had the courage to expose her ugliness to me, to cry in front of me, to be vulnerable. It’s the fact that she threw herself at me, knowing I might reject her.

Thursday, August 24, 2017 in - Post a Comment
✮ ✮ ✮ FREEBIE ALERT! ✮ ✮ ✮

With a Twist by Staci Hart is FREE for a limited time only! 
Love is somewhere near the bottom of Lily Thomas’ list of life goals, right next to competitive eating and underwater cave diving. She’s spent six years pirouetting and pliéing her way up the ranks of the New York Ballet with her eye on the prize and love in the back seat. But now that Blane Baker -- Lily’s long time crush -- is finally single, she’ll throw her rules out the window without thinking twice. Reality with Blane isn’t as epic as the fantasy she imagined, and the truth sends her spinning straight into the arms of the man she never knew she’d always wanted. West Williams has been friends with Lily since the day she moved into their building and he saved her armoire from a swift, sudden death by staircase. Their friendship has always been easy, the boundaries clearly defined. With neither of them willing to risk their relationship, they’ve drifted happily through the years as companions, never considering more. That is, until they do. And that realization changes everything.

One night.
No names.
No commitment.
That was our agreement.
But Spencer Lancaster was addictive.
And I was high.
High off his taste, starved for his kiss, and desperate for his touch.
So when he asked me to stay, to enjoy his company for more nights than I knew I should, I wasn’t in the right mind to say no.
Everything was perfect. A dream come true.
But half a world away there were secrets.
Lies.
Insecurities.
All of the truths that could tear us apart.

Title: Havoc
Series: Moonshine Task Force #3
Author: Laramie Briscoe
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 18, 2017


Blurb

When a marriage of convenience turns into the passion of a lifetime…

Holden “Havoc” Thompson

My job as the leader of the Moonshine Task Force is my life. I eat, breathe, and sleep it. The men under my command mean the world to me. Knowing they count on my guidance has kept my demons at bay for longer than I care to admit.

The control I have over myself is an iron fist that sometimes threatens to squeeze the life out of me. What I want more than anything is to live again – let go of the hurt smothering every bit of light I have in this darkness.

I don’t expect it to come in the form of a Moonshiner’s daughter needing my protection.

Leighton Strather

My whole life has been defined by who my family is. In the state of Alabama, we’re number one with a target on our backs. The danger and prestige isn’t for me. I don’t care about the money, and I care too much about the families we’ve ruined.

My brother and my dad are proud of it. They wear their arrest records like a badge of honor. Me? I want as far away from the lifestyle as I can get.

It’s the only reason I ask Holden to marry me. At least that's what I tell myself.

I never expect his whispered yes to cause such upheaval in my life. Even though I resist, I learn some havoc is good – and this one? It’s a whirlwind of lust, hope, and love and all I can do is let it sweep me away.

Excerpt

Nathan
10 Years Ago

She’s always running her fingers through her dirty blonde hair. The simple motion sends the sweet smell of lavender and something else my way. It’s faint, but I know it’s her. It’s something sweet and soothing. If I think about her, even if I see her across the lunch room or in the school parking lot, I swear I can smell that scent. 

I like sitting behind her in geography. I can watch the cute little things she does and it looks like I’m actually paying attention. 

This is the only class I haven’t gotten kicked out of this year. The stupid shit doesn’t bother me as much when I can watch her. Even if she never looks at me twice. 

The bell rings and the sound rips my eyes away from her and towards the classroom door as a few more students file through. Adam Waynes is the last in and his chair screeches across the floor as he crashes into his seat. He’s loud as fuck and gets all the attention. At the thought, I look to her, to Harlow May expecting her to be watching the spectacle that would usually piss me off, but instead those gorgeous blue eyes are on me. She’s quick to look away, again her fingers flying to her hair and twirling her locks nervously as a bright pink creeps into her cheeks. 

She can be shy all she wants, but I caught her. I caught her looking. Even better I made her blush. I did that. 

It almost gives me enough courage to pull on her backpack straps as she walks in front of me to leave. I could give it a tug and force her to look back at me, but I don’t. I stay behind like I have for the last few months and let her walk away. 
But the next time she looks back at me in geography, she doesn’t avert her gaze when I look back. 

And a few days later, she’s the one tugging on my backpack. 
I keep telling her I’m not good for her, she doesn’t listen though. 

That’s the very thing that will ruin us and we knew it from the start.
