Finding Silence (Silence #1) Release Blitz +Review

Title: Finding Silence Series: Silence

Author: Freya Barker 

Genre: Romantic Suspense  

Release Date: September 25, 2025  

Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

 

Phyllis (Phil) Dubois has long left her performing days behind, opting for a more anonymous role in the music industry instead. Something not everyone is happy about.

When the pressure for her to return to the stage mounts, she packs her things in an old RV and hits the road in search of some peace and quiet.

She thinks she’s found it when she rolls into the small town of Silence.

Former sheriff, Brant Colter, is still trying to get used to his abrupt retirement after a health scare last year. He’s not good with change and likes things just the way they are.

That’s why, when a purple-haired hippie moves into the empty house down the road, he’s convinced trouble won’t be too far behind.

He’s not wrong. However, it’s not his annoyingly cheerful neighbor he should be worried about, but the danger that follows her to town.

This is the first book in a new series by Freya. Phyllis is a bit of a hippie and has been traveling all over the country. She found Silence and loves the area. She has decided to stay a bit and buys a house. Brant has recently retired after heart issues. His daughter is the new sheriff and Phyllis bought the house next door. Phil is looking forward to starting this next part of her life. However parts of her last chapter are still hanging on. She was in a band once upon a time. How far are those parts willing to go to make sure they get what they want? Brant is curious about Phil. The more they are around each other the more Brant becomes interested in her in a way he hasn't been interested in anyone is a long time. Could this be a chance for something new for both of them? Brant will do everything in his power to protect Phil. But will they be able to figure out who is after her in time? This was a fantastic read. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. These characters are wonderful. I love that Freya's books are usually about characters later in their lives. It is refreshing to not read about 20 somethings, not that those books are great as well. It is great to read about second chances and fresh starts. I can't recommend Freya's books enough.  

USA Today bestselling author Freya Barker loves writing about ordinary people with extraordinary stories.

With forty-plus books already published, she continues to create characters who are perhaps less than perfect, each struggling to find their own slice of happy.

Recipient of the ReadFREE.ly 2019 Best Book We've Read All Year Award for "Covering Ollie, the 2015 RomCon “Reader’s Choice” Award for Best First Book, “Slim To None”, Finalist for the 2017 Kindle Book Award with “From Dust”, and Finalist for the 2020 Kindle Book Award with “When Hope Ends”, Freya spins story after story with an endless supply of bruised and dented characters, vying for attention!

Victorious: Part 2 (LA Defiance MC #6) Release Blitz +Review


Title: Victorious: Part 2
Series: LA Defiance MC #6
Author: K E Osborn
Genre: MC Romance
Tropes: Trauma Bonding/Road Trip/Slow Burn
Forbidden Attraction/Redemption Arc
Tragic Past/Alpha Hero/Angsty/Assassins
Release Date: September 22, 2025


BLURB
Vegas was supposed to be a road trip.
A simple job to get me away from the chaos back home.
But it turned out to be something so much more.
A forbidden connection that could never be stopped.

In the neon-lit shadows of Sin City, Phoenix and I finally give in to what’s been burning between us. With no big brother looming over our every move, we’re free to explore our newfound romance. Phoenix touches me like I’m something sacred, kisses me like he’s been starving for it. Every night in his arms makes me forget the war raging back home—until reality crashes back in.

The club is under siege. Our family is scattered to the wind.
And the enemies we thought we’d defeated are rising stronger than before.

Maverick doesn’t know that Phoenix and I are together, or the secrets we shared in Vegas, including the ones that bind us together. And when we finally make it home, his fury will be devastating. With danger closing in from all sides, I have to choose between the family that raised me and the man who owns my heart.

But maybe the scariest part isn’t heading home. Maybe, when you’re blissfully happy in the City of Sin, and you’re on the run from the Cartel, perhaps the scariest part is, you won’t make it home at all.

From USA Today Bestselling Author K E Osborn comes the highly desired sixth book in the LA Defiance MC Series.

This is a forbidden love, forced proximity, high-stakes romance featuring Vegas heat, family secrets, and a love worth fighting for. This is Part 2 of the explosive Victorious trilogy.

TRIGGER WARNING
These books contains scenes of violence, death and emotional distress. If any of these are triggering for you, please go into this fully aware that Victorious Part 1, 2 and 3 come at a cost. You can't have a profound victory, without first, a crushing defeat....

This is part two for this book. You must read at least part one before it. But it is also book 6 in the series. I think it is better to read all the books in order. Phoenix and Clover have gone on a road trip to Vegas. Partly for Clover's job but also so she isn't around while things are going down for the club with the cartel. The thing is Clover and Phoenix have been dancing around their feelings for each other for awhile. Now there is no one around to keep them in check. They have given into their feelings. Mean while the club is learning there is a lot more going on with the cartel then they thought. They need to find out more about them and figure out a plan to take them down. This book was a fantastic read. Phoenix and Clover just want to be together but when everyone finds out they will have to deal with the fall out. Maverick is not going to be happy at all. I can't wait to read the next part of this book. Fantastic job KE Osborn.

This is the 21st book in this series. I have read all but a few. I think they are better read in order but can be read as stand alone books. Iris's world is crumbling around her. Iris and Landon know each other from the gym. Landon is the last single guy at Harper Security. He would love to have what the guys at work have but he hasn't meet the right person yet. Iris comes to Landon's work not knowing that he works there. She needs help. Something is happening and she has no idea what. All of a sudden things are going wrong at work she thinks someone maybe messing with her but she isn't sure. Just when things between Iris and Landon begin getting good everything else in her life begins to fall apart. Her friends don't want to talk to her anymore, things at work at falling apart, and her sister is upset with her. She feels so along. Landon is trying to help and support her but he can't find anything wrong. All his coworkers are telling him to watch for the other shoe to fall. After all, all of them ran into trouble when they found their women. This book was a great read. I loved that I couldn't guess who was behind things. I am sad to see the series end but loved it all the same. Fantastic job once again A.K. Evans.

Chasing Forever (Plain Daisy Ranch #4) Release Blitz +Review

 Chasing Forever by Piper Rayne is now live!


It was a fun Vegas getaway—until I woke up married to my ex-fiancé’s brother.


After Watson brother #1 ditched me at the altar, I stopped believing in happily-ever-afters. So I have no clue how I ended up saying “I do” to Brooks—Watson brother #2—somewhere between tequila shots and bad decisions.
Okay, that may not be true.

Sheriff Watson has been a charming thorn in my side ever since his brother left our small ranch town in his rearview mirror. He’s a little too steady, a little too sweet, and way too intuitive because he sees through my facade. But no matter how tempting he is, he’s still a Watson.

I demand an annulment. He refuses, bargaining four real dates before he signs.

Fine. I’ll sabotage each one and keep my heart safely locked away. It’s easier this way because he has no idea the secret I’m keeping.

Of course, Brooks doesn’t go down easy—he has enough faith for both of us. He tackles my fears at every turn, making me wonder what would happen if I went all in.

But trusting the wrong man once nearly ruined me—doing it again might finish the job.

This is the fourth book in the Plain Daisy Ranch series. They can be read as standalone books. I haven't read the other books in the series and wasn't lost at all. Lottie and Brooks wake up the morning after a Vegas Wedding of a friend/relative to find that they themselves are married as well. The problem well Lottie at one time was engaged to Brooks brother. They live in a small town and nothing stays a secret. This won't either. Lottie just wants an annulment. Brooks wants to stay married. Will he be able to convince her to give them a shot. He has loved her forever. Lottie will be forced to deal with Brooks. He makes her feel things she has been ignoring but now she can't anymore. This book was a fantastic read. I love the connection all the characters have. Brooks's family is the odd one out. He has always felt like he belonged more with Lottie's family and her cousin than with his own. Lottie worries about what some in town will say. Jumping from one brother to the other? Brooks is a wonderful man everyone in town loves him. While Lottie feels like everyone thinks she is broken and they still talk about what happened to her. Can they help each other grow and get passed with the emotional stuff plus find love? I look forward to reading the other books in the series and reading about how they find their love match. Fantastic job once again Piper Rayne.
