Abel (Broken Falls #2) Release Blitz +Review

Title: Abel (Broken Falls, #2) 

Author: Laramie Briscoe 

Genre: Contemporary Romance 

Release Date: March 15, 2024 

Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

A year worth of flirting comes down to this kiss...

Abel

I've eaten more tacos the past year than I have my entire life. It's not because I love those little handfuls of goodness (although I do). It's because of the woman who runs the local food truck Let's Taco Bout It. Seeing her makes my day, and while I can't admit my feelings, I can at least see her smile.

Until Halloween. When a man gives her attention she doesn't want, she pretends we're together, and lays a kiss on me that I'll never forget.

Kara

I've spent the last year watching the hottie in the constantly torn and dirty jeans eating shyly walking up to my food truck and ordering the same thing each time. I've done my best to drag him out of his shell, but nothing works until a night of unwanted attention forces me to make a move. 

Now? He's hanging around even more, and when his husky voice calls me his girlfriend? I melt into a puddle, and he's the only one who can pick me up and put me back together again. 

Abel is book two in The Broken Falls Series: a series of interconnected standalones following a group of friends who have become family in small-town West Virginia, and the women who bring them to their knees. You do not have to read them in order, but each book builds upon the relationships of the last.

I'm slightly nervous as I follow him into his kitchen. I gasp when I get a good look. His kitchen is my dream. Stainless steel appliances, cabinets painted a dark gray that almost pulls blue in the darkness coming through the back windows. White marble countertops are spotless and inviting. Contemporary lighting provides enough where it's needed, and softens where it isn't. "You have a pot filler," I gasp with jealousy. 

He laughs. "I do. When Dad and I were designing this place, he said I'd appreciate it if I were ever going to make dinner often. Since I do, I use it all the time."

"You make dinner a lot?" I'm learning so much about him tonight. 

"When I decided to buy this place and gut it, I didn't have a ton of money. Still repaying college loans too," he shrugs.  "So while I do go out with my friends to the bar, I don't spend a ton as I'm paying down stuff. Dad helped me more than he should've, but he wasn't able to take care of everything. The amount of free labor and construction work he gave me for this place was well into the hundreds of thousands. My friends helped too, which is why they hang out here all the time when we aren't working or at Monroe's."

The scent of whatever we're going to eat permeates the room. "What else are you going to surprise me with tonight?" I tilt my head to the side.

"Hopefully everything you never imagined I would be."

Our eyes meet, and I get lost in the green depths of his. I've seen them in many different situations and they tend to change colors depending on what's happening. It runs the gamut from very light to dark, like the luscious floor of the rainforest. "I don't really know you at all do I?" My voice is quiet as I observe him. "Does anyone really know you?"

He scratches the back of his neck, ducking his head down. "There are very few people who do, and I prefer it that way.”

 

 
This is the second book in the series. They are better read in order. Abel is the son of Boone from the first book. The end of the first book set this book up. The begins shortly after the first one ends. Abel has liked Kara for a while. In fact, he has been visiting her Taco truck just about every day for the last year. Things came to a head on Halloween night. She kissed him and now the ball is in his court. Abel maybe messing things up by taking to long to make a move. But when he finally decides to make one, he is all in. Neither one has had a real relationship before. Kara learns there is more to Abel than meets the eye. They help each other in different ways. Abel is so supportive of Kara and everything she has done and wants to do. While Kara gives Abel the support he needs while things with his family are happening. This is a great sweet romance. I can’t wait to read more about the characters. This group of friends are more like family. They are there always there for each other. Boone is like the dad all these boys needed. Great job Laramie.

Stone & Shadows (The Fire & Shadow #1) Release Blitz



Title: Stone & Shadows
Series: The Fire & Shadow Series #1
Author: Melissa Toppen
Genre: Fantasy Romance
Release Date: March 15, 2024


BLURB
The hybrid
Athena Elliot has always believed she was different- that something more existed beneath her frail, human form than just blood and bone. A whisper of power that she could never quite place but could always feel, simmering just beneath the surface.
When she’s taken prisoner- held captive inside a realm she believed to be nothing more than myth- she learns it goes far beyond what she ever imagined possible.
A hybrid. Part human, part wielder- more powerful than both- the only living one of her kind.
But if Thena has any hope of surviving in a world where everyone wants to either steal her power or see her dead, she’s going to have to master a magic she never could have dreamt of possessing.

The shadow prince
A powerful wielder- a magical creature long since lost to the human world- Haytham’s realm is dying- poisoned by an unknown source that’s draining the land, and the people, of their magic. While many are quick to place blame on what they view as an impure bloodline, Haytham believes that the hybrid is not the cause, but the very cure they’ve been searching for.
Determined to protect Thena at all cost, Haytham will stop at nothing to ensure her safety, including betraying his own father- who would love nothing more than to put an end to the hybrid bloodline for good.

The stakes
In a realm divided by factions of power all vying for control, it’s hard to know who you can trust. And when true intentions are revealed, Thena stands to lose a lot more than just her heart.

Reluctantly Royal (Royals Gone Rogue #1) Release Blitz


Title: Reluctantly Royal
Series: Royals Gone Rogue #1
Author: Erin Nicholas writing as
Erin Nicolle
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Royal/Commoner, Marriage of Convenience
Age Gap, Woman in STEM, Opposites Attract
Release Date: March 14, 2024


BLURB
A marriage proposal from a deliciously handsome and wickedly charming prince sounds like a fairytale.

But for a nerdy scientist with severe social anxiety, it’s a horror story.

Prince Torin O’Grady, with his mischievous blue eyes and cocky grin, is always in the spotlight. And he needs to marry me to inherit the crown.

But we have nothing in common. He’s a future king. And I’m perfectly happy slogging through mud in my work boots.

So why can’t I stop thinking about him?

Maybe because he won’t stop texting me. And sending me gifts. And making me feel like everything I find awkward and weird about myself is special and amazing.

And there’s also that little detail of him offering me my dream job and telling me that together we can change the world.

Well, I could probably 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 for him.

And if I have to marry him temporarily to get what we both want, then fine. It’s for the greater good.

It has nothing to do with the way he kisses me. Or that dirty mouth. Or the royal treatment he gives me in the bedroom.

Fine. Maybe it does. Still, it’s only a year. Then I can turn in my tiara and come back to my normal, boring, behind-the-scenes life.

But Torin is determined to turn me from reluctantly royal to royally his.

A Furious Man (Appalachian Star #5) Release Blitz +Review

Title: A Furious Man (Appalachian Star, #5) 

Author: Deanndra Hall 

Genre: Romantic Suspense 

Release Date: March 12, 2024 

Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

A horrific past can threaten the future …

REBOOT

Reluctance.

They say chivalry is dead, and I had to learn that truth the hard way. Helping when you're not wanted doesn't play out the way you think. Sometimes, more damage comes with it. So, I lay low and try not to get involved. Do my job, and that's all.

As an Appalachian STAR EMT, I've seen my fair share of atrocities and destruction, but none so horrendous as the whirlwind of chaos that one woman brings into play. Not only does she take a tumble on the docks, but then, she more than destroys every meal she attempts to serve where she waits tables. Despite her clumsy nature and apologetic demeanor, everything about this woman intrigues me. And now, I'm bound and determined to get closer to her.

MAVIS

Reluctance.

My life is in shambles, a series of one mishap or misstep after another. After escaping my traumatic childhood and finding a new life, I thought everything would be easy from here on out. I was wrong. I'm on edge, careful and cautious, jumpy and unnerved.

When the handsome EMT helps me find employment more suitable for me, I slowly begin to let down my guard, not truly ready to let a stranger into my life—or into my heart. But after my past comes barreling back, threatening to hurt others just as they hurt me, I snap.

They're not touching one more innocent child. Not while I'm alive. My plan has flaws. But thankfully, I have a rugged and strong Furious Man on my side.

This is the fifth book in the series. I haven’t read them all but I wasn’t confused at all. They can be read as standalone books. This book is about Reboot and Mavis. Reboot was wrongly accused and nine long years later he was exonerated. Mavis grew up in a cult. Awful things were done to her and it didn’t stop when her mother moved with her and her sister. It still affects Mavis today. It is why she can’t seem to keep a job. Reboot sees Mavis several times and each time she is about to be fired from a job. When a quiet job opens up at the farm, he knows she would be perfect for it. The ladies at the farm know Mavis and some of her story. They agree that she would be perfect for the job. Mavis can’t believe this handsome man wants to help her. What could he see in her or want from her? Once he finds out what happened to her, he won’t want anything to do with her. She had resigned herself to a life with a partner or children. Now she could have that chance. But, then her past makes a reappearance. They want to start the cult again. Mavis would do anything to prevent what happened to her from happening to anyone else. Reboot and those at the farm have her back. They will help her in anyway they can. Will it be enough or will Mavis have to take things into to her own hands? This book was a fantastic book. Mavis is an amazing woman. She has been through so much and has a found a way to move forward and make a life for herself. Reboot has his own struggles. His family isn’t very close to him anymore. Even though he was proved innocent it isn’t enough for them. I love all the guys in this series and I can’t wait to read about the next one. I love Deanndra and she is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books.

Deanndra Hall is a working author living in the far western end of the beautiful Bluegrass State with her husband of over 35 years and small menagerie of weird little dogs. When she’s not writing, she’s editing. When she’s doing neither of those two things, she’s having dinner with friends, spending time with family, kayaking, eating chocolate, drinking beer or moonshine, or looking for something that she put in the wrong place and can’t seem to find (which is pretty much everything she owns).
