KING OF NOTHING by Aurora Rose Reynolds

 KING OF NOTHING

by

Aurora Rose Reynolds

Release Date: July 29

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Blurb:

I met him when my ship was sinking, and I clung to him through the storm. Little did I know he

needed me as much as I needed him.

The first time I saw Roman Dante King, he stuck out like an odd puzzle piece that got mixed up

in the wrong box. It wasn’t his blue eyes in the dim light of the bar, the tattoos that covered his

arms and hands, or even his arrogant personality. It was something else—something I couldn’t

see—that told me he didn’t belong in our small beach town on the Oregon coast.

Elora Mazie Barlow reminded me of a hummingbird zipping from one flower to another, never

stopping, never allowing anyone more than a glimpse before she was gone. Never letting

anyone in… until me. Then she gave me her smiles that were more valuable than anything I

ever owned and wrapped me in her peace without asking for anything in return.

Her tragic story sounded achingly familiar to my own.

Our connection is knotted up in loss. The journey we’re on together will eventually come to an

end. But will we be able to untangle the mess of strings that have tied us together?

Will we even want to?

My review:

AMAZING!  This standalone romance will break your heart.  Heartbroken Roman and Elora cross paths after they each lost a loved one.  Elora is trying to visit all the places her mother had on her bucket list while Roman is wandering across the country to escape the pain of losing his brother.  Together they found peace but what happens when the real world comes knocking?

“You’ve given me more than you realize, Elora”

“And part of that is a feeling of happiness that isn’t mixed up with money and things.  It’s pure and good and everything fucking normal I didn’t know I was missing out on until you.”

This was a beautiful story of two wonderful people with genuine feelings.  I loved watching Elora and Roman’s relationship evolve as they spent time together. Even though my feelings went on a roller coaster ride while reading this book, I really enjoyed it.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

She can’t remember. He can’t forget.


Never Have I Ever, a rock star, enemies to lovers, second chance romance from New York Times bestselling author S.L. Scott is now available!


🩵


Flat on my back is not how I imagined meeting my new boss and hot-as-sin rock star. But here I am . . .

 

If I didn’t already have amnesia, I’d be wishing for it now.

 

In my defense, Laird Faris was only wearing a shameless smirk and a towel wrapped around his chiseled abs when we met.

 

Brooding.

Devastatingly handsome.

Utterly intolerable.

 

Naturally, I’m instantly attracted to him.

 

It’s not only his broad shoulders and gorgeous face that wreck my equilibrium, but also a distinct tattoo on his chest that matches one on my hip.

 

Our chemistry is off the charts.

Searing kisses make his grumpiness bearable.

Every touch we share is full of fire and flashes of memories, making me wonder if our connection isn’t destiny after all.

 

But do the secrets he hides behind his icy blue eyes have something to do with the weekend I can’t remember and the past he can’t forget?

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
My review:

“It’s not what you did.  It’s who you are that made me fall in love with you over and over again.”

“I’ve fallen in love in every iteration of our relationship because I fell in love with you.  And I’ll continue to do so.”

Never Have I Ever is a standalone rockstar romance that had me fixated from the beginning.  I loved Poppy and all her sassiness when I met her in When I Had You and I couldn’t wait for her book. 

“I just knew… That she was the woman I loved in every lifetime I’ve lived. And I’d finally found her again.”

Laird and Poppy met and after one night together, Laird asks her to go with him on tour.  He was heartbroken when Poppy never showed up to their meeting place.  Years later they cross paths, and he finally discovers why Poppy didn’t make it.  Now he is determined to make her fall in love with him again. 

“Never have I ever had one doubt about marrying you after knowing you less than twenty-four hours.”

Stories of amnesia are not ones I normally read, but this was a fabulous book.  I loved it and couldn’t put it down.  The characters were genuine and so easy to love.  Their chemistry was red-hot, and they were perfect for each other.  I look forward to future books by the author.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Meant for Love by Natasha Madison

Now Availalble!

Meant for Love (Meant For #3)

by Natasha Madison



My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Purchase Link: https://books2read.com/KUMeant4LoveNM

From Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Amazon Bestselling Author Natasha Madison comes new A billionaire, marriage pact, opposites attract romance.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Unless you end up married!
From The This is Series and the Southern Wedding series comes Meant For Love

Zoey
When I first met him, I got butterflies in my stomach.
I thought it was silly and pushed it aside. Avoided him.
Besides, I was taken—unavailable. Or so I thought.
That was before he hired me to take over his company’s PR.
Now that we were working with each other, that meant he was completely off-limits.
Until one night in Vegas.

Nash
They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
Unless you ask the woman of your dreams to marry you while you are both drinking tequila.
And she says yes.
She thinks it’s a mistake.
She’s wrong.
Now I have ninety days to show her we’re meant for love.

My review:

“…I knew I’d never seen anyone as beautiful as Zoey.  I also knew I wanted her to sit by my side for the rest of my life.”

Meant for Love is the third book in the Meant For series and is a spin-off of the This Is Crazy series.  Zoey Richards is the daughter of Zara and Evan Richards from the book This is Crazy.  This book was another fabulous story by Natasha Madison.  Full of large family drama and lots of laughs.

“You had to have known how much you own me”
“How I live for you”
“How I breath for you.”
“You had to have known how my heart beats for you.”

When he met her, Nash Griffin fell for Zoey Richards, but she wouldn’t give him the time of day.  She avoided him as much as she could.  When his company needs a new PR, he immediately thinks of her.  Zoey just got out of a dead-end relationship and decided to live a little.  She wants to step outside the box and working for Nash’s company fits that description.  Going to Las Vegas with Nash turns into a life-changing trip for sure.  Now she is married and not everything that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.    

This was an awesome book and I must admit to reading it twice now. Once I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down. I loved Nash and Zoey in previous books so I couldn’t wait for their story.  Their witty banter and steamy chemistry are off the charts.  I cannot wait for the next book, Meant for Gabriel.

I vowed I'd never get involved with a client again. That was a lesson I thought I only had to learn once. When I’m assigned Stefan Däuchmen aka Doucheman, I realize I have a huge problem.

My number one rule is “never date someone from work” … or “a douche.” One would think because he’s an egotistical manwhore douche, I would be safe from his charm. But my new, very attractive client has me questioning if rules were made to be broken.

I have to remind myself constantly it doesn’t matter how good-looking he is. With his panty melting smile, rich chocolate eyes and washboard abs. Or his heart of gold that he hides under his douchey exterior. He’s my client and I’m not going there—again. But the more time I spend with him, the harder I fall.

I pucking hate to love him, but I can’t help it … I’m so pucking screwed.

Carly Phillips

Release Date: July 23


          
A runaway bride. 
Her older brother’s off-limits friend. 
Taking one more shot at love should be easy, right?
Not on a dare.
 
Samantha Dare had one thought when she found out her fiancé was a lying cheater. Escape. So, she ran from her wedding…straight into the arms of the man who once gave her the hottest kiss of her life. But rebounding with her brother’s friend would be a huge mistake…wouldn’t it? 
 
The last thing Dex Sterling needed was more chaos in his life. Retiring from football and starting over in broadcasting gave him plenty of that. But even though Samantha is chaos personified, for some reason, he’s still not able to keep his mind—or hands—off her…
 
Is a little bit of forced proximity and a lot of sexual chemistry enough to earn them a second chance at happily ever after? 
 
Samantha and Dex are about to find out…
 
Just One More Dare, book 2 in the Sterling Family series, is a light, spicy, best friend’s little sister/forbidden, contemporary sports romance that can be read as a standalone.

Indescribable Love by Samantha Chase

 

Indescribable Love by Samantha Chase is now live!

 

A close proximity, rockstar, secret romance from NYT Bestselling author, Samantha Chase

He's the pop superstar dubbed the friendliest celeb alive.
She's the jaded publicist forced to represent him.
Working together should be impossible.
But the connection they find in each other is...completely indescribable.


Whenever his childhood became too much, Simon Bennett could always find comfort and escape in music. Like any kid, he'd thought about becoming a big star, but he'd never imagined the level of success he's found. When documentary producers approach him for some behind the scenes footage for his fans, he isn't prepared for the painful memories they unearth that he'd rather keep quiet. But when you're known as one of the sweetest guys in the business, no one takes you seriously when you try to push back.

Juliette Bellucci has a reputation for being a strong and confident publicist. Unfortunately, when you keep working with celebrity trainwrecks who make the wrong kind of headlines, that reputation doesn't mean a whole lot. And with her latest fiasco still in the press, she's this close to losing her career and everything she's worked for. Enter Simon Bennett-the quintessential good guy and her chance at redemption. After all, how can working with the nicest guy in the world go wrong?

Nothing about them makes sense, and yet the closer they become, the more they realize they belong together. Keeping their relationship a secret was supposed to keep them out of trouble, but when Simon's past threatens to destroy his present, everyone is quick to blame Juliette and her bad track record. When the glare of the spotlight disappears, will they realize the indescribable love they share is the foundation to the future they both want?


My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

My review:

“In the depths of your eyes, it’s undeniable…

A love so fierce, it’s simply indescribable…

We’re walking on the edge, no fear inside,

In this world of chaos, with you, I’ll ride.”

Having clients who couldn’t stay out of trouble has almost ruined Publicist Juliette Bellucci’s reputation.  Working with good guy Simon Bennett is her last chance to save her career.  How hard can it be working for the friendliest celebrity?

“…I always thought I was happy, but I realized I was leading a very one-dimensional life.  Everything I am, everything I create, is because of you…”

Known for his cheerful nature, popstar Simon Bennett has one subject he will not discuss with the producers filming behind the scenes of his tour.  He has overcome those painful memories and has no intention of reviving them.

Indescribable Love is the second book in the Wylder Love series, but I had no trouble reading it as a standalone.  The storyline was solid, and the characters were so easy to love.  At first, Juliette was very cynical but as the story progresses her vulnerable side emerges.  She was a perfect match for Simon, who didn’t like confrontations.  Simon was such a big teddy bear, and I loved how cheerful and open he was.  I just wanted to give him a big hug!! I loved how Juliette was so in tune with Simon and was fiercely protective of him. She knew when to step in and be the harda** agent he needed.  This was a wonderful book and once I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down.  I cannot wait for the next book, which will be Jax’s story.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
