NEW RELEASE ~FILTHY LIES BY RAINE MILLER~

Title: Filthy Lies
Author: Raine Miller
Series: Blackstone Dynasty #2, a standalone
Release Date: July 30, 2018
On the day I turned fifteen years old I knew I loved James Blakney. There was a look in his eye that told me he’d finally noticed I existed in a realm beyond best-friend’s-much-younger-off-limits-don’t-even-think-about-it-little-sister. Call it womanly intuition, despite the fact I was barely qualified for being an actual woman at just fifteen—and only in the biological sense—but still, I knew I loved him.

What I never expected from him was a proposal of marriage nearly eight years later. I know it's not supposed to be a real marriage, but James is certainly making it feel that way. 

He's also hiding something from me.

But I've hidden the truth from him as well.

Lies.

So many filthy lies.

Title: Playboy
Author: Katy Evans
Release Date: July 29, 2018
A brand new contemporary romance from New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author Katy Evans.

It started as a game.

We flirted. We played. Most importantly—we won.

Then I discovered who he was: Gambler. Famous playboy. Silver-eyed player who never plays to lose...

And my best friend’s soon-to-be brother in law, Cullen Carmichael.

He needed a good luck charm, I needed a distraction.

So we made a gamble and set off for Vegas—but pretty soon—I was in too deep.

My heart, soul, and body weren't supposed to be part of the deal.

But somewhere between big wins and long nights, my house of cards started to tumble.

What was this devil with those piercing eyes doing to me?

I’d given up on love, but the wicked, all-in Cullen Carmichael was upping the ante and wouldn’t stop until he’d won it all.

BLOG TOUR REVIEW ~STRENGTH ENDURING BY CARRIE ANN RYAN~

Title: Strength Enduring
Author: Carrie Ann Ryan

Series: Talon Pack #8
Release Date: July 17, 2018

MY RATING: ★★★★★
In the penultimate novel of the Talon Pack series from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan, an Enforcer must make the ultimate choice when it comes to a human woman with a secret she doesn't know she holds.

Kameron Brentwood has only one thing on his mind: defeating the enemy. He doesn't have time for a human woman who sets his teeth on edge and makes his wolf prowl. It shouldn't matter that she's his mate because he's always thought that mating is a distraction. Yet as soon as he gets to know the woman, he figures out that there's no hiding from the attraction he feels for her.

Dhanielle Coburn has always been on the outside looking in when it comes to the Talon Pack, but she's not about to let fate and the moon goddess decide her path for her. If and when she takes Kameron as a mate, it will be her choice. Yet when she suddenly finds herself in the Pack's inner sanctum, deeper than she ever thought possible, she has to fight not only her need for the man in front of her but also a hidden secret about her family she didn't even know she had.

When the choice is pulled from both of their hands, the two will need to learn who they are apart, and who they can be together. Because there's more to mating than a mark and a prophecy that has come back to haunt them. And even though they may be fated, the ultimate sacrifice just might take them both in the end.In the penultimate novel of the Talon Pack series from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan, an Enforcer must make the ultimate choice when it comes to a human woman with a secret she doesn't know she holds.

Strength Enduring is my first paranormal book by Carrie Ann Ryan, and holy smokes, consider my weekends booked from here until whenever I finish the previous Talon Pack books! This book is so complex, and sexy, and amazing. The world building is so intricate, yet even as the eight standalone book in the series, I didn't feel lost in the slightest. And the sneak peeks of previous couples made me so much more excited to experience their stories. And then we get to Dhani and Kameron. Oh how I swoon for these two.

Kameron is a tough implacable alpha, even if he isn't the pack's alpha. And Dhani is sweet, and pure, and fiesty. Everything that the unforgiving, and deliciously sexy Kameron needs. Someone to test him, to tempt him, and to take his intensity when he only has his passionate ways to communicate his frustration.

I can't say enough good things about this book. It had me on the edge of my seat, anticipating, enraged, in love, and everything in between. Paranormal books have to be done right for me to enjoy them, and THIS book did everything right, and left me wanting not to leave the wonderful world of the Talon Pack. 

Happy Reading!

Title: Big Mountain
Author: Penny Wylder

Release Date: August 2, 2018
Our night of passion was unforgettable.

I'd have loved more time with her, but she was a city girl passing through my lonely mountain village, only here to take photos of our festival.

She had no reason to return. So when she shows up again months later, I'm stunned.

Turns out her job sent her back with some unfinished business. I'd love another taste, but she says she's done with me and plans to leave ASAP. I'm not about to argue...

Until I find out that she's pregnant from our one-night-stand.

And once I know that she's carrying my child inside of her?

I'm never going to let her go.
