Ambrey

My last name was royalty in New Orleans. But to me…my last name was a curse. High society. Expectations. Old money. Politics. Everything I despised. Deceit. Destruction. Bribery. You name it, my family was guilty of it. My father’s throne was built on lies. Our family was the epitome of faux royalty. Then, I fell for the boy from the wrong side of the tracks. As hard as we fell… the faster we crashed and burned.

Five years ago, I walked away, and left my father to his riches. Now, home in the same city I ran from, I come face to face with the man who destroyed my heart.

Cover Reveal - To Catch A Thief by Nana Malone

Nana Malone has revealed the cover of To Catch a Thief!

 

Releasing: September 28, 2021

Cover Design: Najla Qamber Designs

 

Oliver

To catch a thief... you have to think like a thief.

And Rian Beaumont was my mark.
I'd start by stealing her kisses. But I already knew that wouldn't be punishment enough.

The only crime I committed was almost stealing her from my brother, and for that, I served my time.

She thought she knew me, but she had it all wrong-- I was nothing like my brother. To prove her wrong, I was going to steal her heart and make her mine.

Rian

Oliver Wexler might not have been the one that ruined my life five years ago, but he basically drove the getaway car.

The only thing more dangerous than kissing the enemy... sleeping with the enemy. Good thing I had no intentions of doing either.

But Ollie had a pesky habit of sticking his nose-- and his lips--where they didn't belong. Even though I've already learned my lessons about falling for a man like him. Because with a Wexler brother, it was never only your future on the line . . . but your heart too.

Meet Nana

It was a sultry summer afternoon in Ghana, and Nana was a precocious thirteen. She's been in love with kick butt heroines ever since. With her overactive imagination, and channeling her inner Buffy, it was only a matter a time before she started creating her own characters.

While she waits for her chance at a job as a ninja assassin, in the meantime Nana works out her drama, passion, and sass with fictional characters every bit as sassy and kick butt as she thinks she is.

Release Blitz - Sweet Oblivion by Alexa Padgett




Title: Sweet Oblivion
Series: Oblivion #1
Author: Alexa Padgett
Genre: Contemporary New Adult Romance
Release Date: August 31, 2021


BLURB

Rock-n-roll is hell on relationships. Especially his.

Aya Aldringham has it all, but wealth can’t make her father love her or give her more time with her dying grandfather. Nor can it stop her from yearning for Nash Porter—the boy she never forgot. The boy who saved her.

Nash doesn’t do relationships, not after watching his parents use each other’s feelings as weapons. When he finds Aya again, after so many years, he can’t help but get close—really close—like in her bed and in her arms.

He can’t keep her though. There’s a seduction in falling in love, but it’s a lie. The truth is in the sold-out crowds who chant his name every night he’s on stage.

So why does Nash only want Aya?

Nikki's 4 Star Review
Sweet Oblivion is a new series from Alexa Padgett and is book 1 of 4.
When we first meet Aya and Nash both are still in high school and both have a difficult family dynamic. They lean on each other and soon become more than just friends but Nash has lots of insecurities caused by his parents relationship which has a knock-on effect to his relationship with Aya. When a misunderstanding tares them apart will they find their way back to each other or is it really all over before it's really begun.

I will be honest and say this book did take me a while to get into but I persevered and I'm so glad I did. I cannot wait for book 2.




EXCERPT

A shiver slid down my spine as I considered my options. But then I shut down my hope that Nash would kiss me. He needed a friend—was desperate for the connection—and I’d promised myself I would be that for him. Even if it hurt.
Especially because it hurt.
“You don’t seem excited about my record deal.” He settled his hip next to mine on the bed.
It was a cushy mattress, and we rolled closer, separated only by the comforter and our pants. Need curled in my belly.
I forced the smile he needed. “Oh, I am.” I rolled my eyes. “I’ll get to tell people I was there for the birth of Nash Porter, Superstar.”
His smile turned shy. “You really think I can be that? A superstar? Like Cam and Asher?”
I reached up and touched his cheek, letting my fingers linger. “I think you’re going to blow them all away.”
He studied me, no doubt looking for any insincerity. But he found none. I’d known, even as a small child, that Nash was destined for that stardom he’d mentioned. He practically shimmered with talent and possibilities. The fact that I’d held his interest this long was a gift.
“One of Asher’s stipulations was that I had to finish high school before I record my album.”
My belly warmed, and I smiled. Asher Smith cared about the musicians he worked with. Postponing Nash’s album was a blessing, all the more so because Nash wanted to push forward so badly. This gave us time.
Nash leaned in closer—so close our noses nearly bumped. “I know you’re upset about the girls flirting with me. But they don’t matter.”
I traced a pattern in the comforter next to my hip. “I’m sure one of them will be more than willing to keep you company once I’m gone.”
“I want…” He blew out a breath. “I want you, Aya. To be with you.”
Happiness exploded in my chest as I leaped forward in a tangle of limbs and sheets and tackled him to the bed. He laughed, his face so young and carefree, as he tucked my long hair back.
“You’re everything to me,” he said, his tone solemn. “If you weren’t, I wouldn’t be here right now. Maybe I should have pushed you away. But I couldn’t. I can’t.”
I dropped my gaze.
He tipped my chin up, connecting us again. His gaze ignited nerve endings and sizzled down my spine, warming my belly.

Release Blitz - Alpha CEO by M. Robinson



Release Date: August 31

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author M. Robinson comes a best friend’s baby sister, second chance billionaire romance.









I came from nothing and made something of myself. I’ve only ever loved two things. Cars and her.

I took that passion and built an empire.

Now I’m the CEO.

The alpha.

On top of the world.

I’m not the carefree man she once knew.

That was the problem with being one of the richest men in the world—everyone thinks they know me, but they only know what I want them to.

I’m demanding.

Arrogant.

Controlling.

My company thinks they can change me. Soften my image. Make me more appealing to the public.

Little do they know, the woman they hired was my best friend’s little sister, and the last time I saw her...

I broke her heart.

Grab Your Copy Here!


Amy's 5 Star Review

What a powerful book M. Robinson delivered with Alpha CEO I loved the whole dynamic of this book and the past and the present with the past and the present. Julian is definitely a strong character worth billions of dollars but losing Autumn destroyed him but leaving was his only option now years later he has to come with the woman who is going to put his business and life to the public only everything about his life has been her.

Being around the man you love and crave is destructive and the walls she built begin to crumble and the man hou fell for slowly shines through.

With so many secrets and lies between the two can they now truly make a new beginning together.

A very sexy, funny and poignant book I found myself truly captivated with Alpha CEO it's an absolute must read.

Nikki's 3.5 Star Review

King of Scars is Kane and Noelle's Story, they had been best friends as kids but the older they got the more those feelings of just friendship changed. Then at a party one night they ended up sleeping together, unfortunately for them it changed everything and Noelle was ripped from Kane's life by her parents. Now six years later she's back in town and determined to start a new life without the hold of her parents hanging over her. To say Kane is shocked to see her is an understatement especially when he discovers the secret she's been keeping from him.
Will Kane  and Noelle fight for each other and finally get the chance to be together forever.

This is the first I have read from Nikki Pennington and although I did enjoy the storyline I have to be honest and say it felt a bit disjointed for me, there'd a build up to things happening but instead of the explosion you expect it just kinda flattens out which did disappoint ne a little but overall a good read. 




EXCERPT

Prologue

Kane
Seven Years Earlier

“Why won’t she answer me?” I throw my phone across the bed, frustrated.

“You’re probably scaring her because you’ve done nothing but call her for the last hour,” Kai––my twin brother––says, rolling his eyes.

“It’s not like her not to answer,” I point out.

“Maybe she finally realized what a piece of garbage you are, and she’s moving on with her life.” He shrugs, and I launch a pillow in his direction.

“Fuck off, Kai.”

He gets off the bed, laughing. “Whatever. It’s not my fault you’re obsessed with your best friend.”

“I’m not obsessed with Noel,” I insist, lying through my teeth.

“Everyone but Noelle knows that you’re obsessed with her.”

I watch him leave the room and I get out of bed, frustrated. I guess I’ll go over to her house and find out what’s going on.

After what happened last night, I feel like we have a lot to talk about. I think I’m ready to tell her how I really feel. Last night changed everything. I don’t know if we can go back to what we were before.

I go outside, walking out to the sidewalk. Noelle Cooper has lived two houses down from us since we were in grade school. She was riding her bike down the sidewalk one day when her shoestring got stuck in her bike chain and she fell right in front of our house. I came outside to help, and we’ve been attached at the hip ever since.

I’m not obsessed with her. More like in love with her. I have been since we turned twelve and I started to notice just how gorgeous she really is. Now that we’re fifteen, it’s the only thing I notice.

She’s got this long blonde hair, almost white, that falls just past her shoulders. Her legs are long, and she has a yearlong tan that makes all the girls jealous. She could be a supermodel.

I’ve been pounding on their door for about five minutes when Mr. James––their neighbor––comes outside.

“They left,” he shouts from his porch.

“What do you mean, they left?” I ask.

“They loaded a moving van in the middle of the night and left early this morning. It looked like they were in a hurry.” He shrugs, walking back inside his house.

I feel my heart drop down to my stomach. That can’t be true. Noelle wouldn’t do that to me. She’s my best friend.

I walk around the house, peeking into the windows, and I’m starting to think Mr. James is right. There’s nothing left here.

What could have happened to make her family just up and leave in the middle of the night? Why wouldn’t she have at least called me and told me she was leaving?

My sadness quickly turns to anger. That’s fine. I guess Noelle Cooper was never really the friend I thought she was.

I’m wondering how long it will take to fall out of love with the first girl you ever fell in love with?

Nikki's 4.5 Star Review

Ah I love getting the chance to jump back into Willow Springs and spend some time with the girls, they are an absolute blast. I love the friendship they have and the way they pull together when it's needed. No matter what they are there for each other.

Charmed is Maura and Crew's story, it's an enemies to lovers romance that will steal your heart from the very first page.

Maura and Crew's families have been at war forever so when Maura gets an internship at Crew's family's Ad agency she has no idea how things will go down. To begin with Crew try's to be a complete jerk but Maura holds her own and soon their sexual chemistry starts to rise. Will both families eventually be able to put everything behind them and allow Crew and Maura to have their hea or is there just too many stumbling blocks in their way.

Charmed is another fab story from laura Pavlov and I cannot wait to read Coco's story next.
     




EXCERPT

She shoved at my chest. “You are such a jerk. No. I don’t make a habit of making out with one asshole only to move on to the next so quickly.”
I moved back into her space. “Layla said you went on a date. I shouldn’t have said that. I just—”
“You just what? You don’t want me, but you don’t want anyone else to have me? Is that it?” Her words were angry, but her hands tangled in my hair, tugging me closer.
“Did you go on a date with someone else?” I whispered before resting my forehead against hers.
“Someone else would mean you and I had actually been on a date before. You’ve never taken me out.”
I wrapped my arm around her back and tugged her closer so she could feel just how much I wanted her. “If you want me to take you out, answer the damn question.”
“I met with Piper last night. We had dinner.”
Thank Christ. I let out a long breath that I hadn’t even realized I’d been holding. “How’d it go?”
“Good.”
“You want to tell me about it over dinner?” I asked as I nipped at her bottom lip.
“I thought this couldn’t happen again?” she said, and her tongue dipped out to wet her bottom lip and I groaned.
“I did too.”
“So, what’s changed?”
“I missed you.”
“I missed you too,” she whispered.
“Listen, Maura. You’re an intern. This doesn’t look good. We need to keep this between us, at least until we know what this is.”
She nodded. “Does that mean I can kiss you when the door is closed?”
My mouth crashed into hers. I kissed her like my life depended on it. I kissed her like I would die if I didn’t. Because at the moment, I would.
And now that I’d had a taste of Maura Benson… I only wanted more.
