Hush review, Dylan Farrow

 I was initially really excited to read this book, but it’s all over the place.

I realise it’s a debut novel, but it reads as if it hasn’t had any editing guidance at all.

Things happen out of the blue, with little to no explanation, things switch and change and don’t make sense.

Shea is an infuriatingly naïve character who is supposed to be strong, but comes off as a little dense.

The journey of this book happens all too easily, with things just coming to Shea magically.

It’s simple, and the world building is weak. Nothing is really explained and just happens.

The writing style is also clunky as hell, with literally everything told to you and so many adverbs.

Ya fantasy is not an easy genre to dip one’s toes in, but I’m afraid this falls so short.

Playing with fire blog tour, LJ Shen

"A flawless story of redemption and salvation, Playing With Fire will consume you entirely." - Amali Rose, USA Today Bestselling Author

Playing With Fire, an all-new heartbreaking and intensely beautiful small town standalone romance from USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen is available now!

A broken boy on the path to destruction.

A scarred girl without direction.

A love story carved in secrets, inked with pain and sealed with a lie.

Grace Shaw and West St. Claire are arctic opposites.

She is the strange girl from the food truck.

He is the mysterious underground fighter who stormed into her sleepy Texan college town on his motorcycle one day, and has been wreaking havoc since.

She is invisible to the world.

He is the town’s beloved bad boy.

She is a reject.

He is trouble.

But the harder she pushes him away, the more he pulls her out of her shell.

Grace doesn’t know much about anything beyond her town’s limits, but she does know this:

She is falling in love with the hottest guy in Sheridan U.

And when you play with fire—you ought to get burned.

Varsity Rulebreaker
Book 3 in The Varsity Series by Ginger Scott

Hollis Taylor is allowed to break the rules. She’s coach’s little girl. And she’s good. If that means she gets to bump one of the guys for the starting catcher’s job on the Public High baseball team, then the others on the squad better suck it up and deal.

But breaking rules has taken Cannon Jennings far in life. One of the nation’s top pitching prospects, he came here to throw to his cousin and show college recruiters everything he could do on the mound. Taking his signs from a girl was not part of his blueprint, especially one that screwed over his favorite relative and best friend.

Too bad he broke the biggest rule of all before he knew exactly who she was.
It was just a New Year’s kiss. Totally forgettable. Especially under the circumstances.
So why can’t he stop thinking about it?

This is book 3 in The Varsity Series by Ginger Scott. You can start this series of stand-alone mature YA sports romances now with Varsity Heartbreaker and Varsity Tiebreaker.

I'm Susan Alexander, and you'll find my books under S.B. Alexander. A little about me. I've been writing since 2012 and started with writing all about vampires. After the second vampire book, I began to branch out in New Adult Romance. I love to read mostly all genres, and I'm always game to try something new. So I tested my hand at writing romantic suspense and just loved it. So you'll find I write in several different sub-genres of romance.


In between writing, I spend time with my soul mate of 20 years who got a bad deal in life. Three years ago he was diagnosed with ALS. It's a horrible disease, but we both have been making the best of life, laughing, smiling, and doing what we can together.


But writing is a great outlet for me to take my mind to another place. Plus, I have a great network of family, friends, fans, and so much more. I truly have an angel on my shoulder. My mantra is make the best of life because it's too darn short.

Bully king cover reveal, Andi Jaxon

  BULLY KING by Andi Jaxon Release Date: October 15th Photographer: Michelle Lancaster Models: Tommy Pearce and Lochie Carey Cover Designer: PopKitty Designs   Add to Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53467444-bully-king   Preorder: Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2F9aZ8z Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3bzWCGl Amazon CA: https://amzn.to/2GC3kQY Amazon AU: https://amzn.to/3jV1rxg     Blurb: I'm the pastor's son. He's the star quarterback for a small Kentucky high school. While the town worships him, I pray for God to take my life. He makes my life a living hell by making me his victim. This perverse game we play could end us both. How can something that feels so right be so wrong? The price if the truth is discovered is death, but I can't stop. Neither can he. No one can know. Can I risk it? Is Roman King worth dying for? **This story is a m/m bully romance including dubious consent, assault, talk of suicide, and is intended for readers 18+. Please proceed with caution.**     About the Author: Sarcastic and snarky, I love to laugh and read dark fucked up shit. I write about tortured pasts and hot sex, a happily ever after that has to be worked for. My stories tend to be a little dark but with some comic relief, typically in the form of sarcasm. I like to dabble in a little of everything when it comes to stories. Romantic suspense, MM, a bit of erotica, with plans for Greek retellings, maybe some fairytale retellings, and some shifters. I write broken people who fight for their happily ever after, in all the many forms it takes. I married a sexy man in uniform who let me spawn and am now raising a mutinous army of hell raisers that I created myself, all while he defends our country. I drink too much coffee and am sexually frustrated for your freedom. If you see me online, I'm probably sitting in a closet, hiding from my kids. I have a ridiculous addiction to Archer, Sherlock, Supernatural, and The Big Bang Theory. I live my life spewing TV quotes and sarcasm. I'm a self confessed ass, not easily offended, and I love to laugh, almost as much as I love sleep. My laundry is rarely folded or put away and I have probably only showered once this week. I hate schedules and planning, I have calendars, planners, and my phone yet can’t remember anything. Somehow, I’ve managed to keep 3 kids alive but I really need to become an adultier adult.

Layer by layer release blitz, Kaylee Ryan




Title: Layer by Layer
Series: Riggins Brothers #1
Author: Kaylee Ryan
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 3, 2020



Blurb

Sawyer

From the first moment I sit next to the sexy suit on the plane, the butterflies in my stomach have nothing to do with turbulence and everything to do with the way he’s looking at me.

When we land, he gives me his number, and I promise to call. Before I get the chance, we meet again.

It turns out he’s my new boss and nothing like the gentle stranger from the plane.

The longer I’m with Royce, the more I realize he has many layers, and I want to uncover them all one by one.

If only he would let me in.


Royce

Being CEO requires all of my focus, but I can’t stop thinking about the gorgeous woman from the plane with the gorgeous blonde hair and striking green eyes.

Sawyer Gibson is beautiful, intelligent, and very much off-limits. A line I shouldn’t cross.

Until I do... and there’s no going back.

I want all of her, but she deserves more than my hardened heart can give.


No matter how hard I try, I can't escape her.

Fable review, Adrienne Young

 This is a solid book. I like the story, I like fable, I like the crew of the marigold.

The imagery is rich and vibrant, and the action keeps the plot moving along.

I do think a little something is missing to really push this into amazing, maybe a bit more backstory to add weight to what’s happening, but it is okay without it.

Give it a go! 📖📖📖📖
