Release Blitz & Review: Wild Tendy by Toni Aleo

Tuesday, August 27, 2019
Nico has goals...and she's number one on his list. 
Wild Tendy by Toni Aleo is available now!
 Universal -- mybook.to/WildTendy 
 
Nico Merryweather loves women—all women. Sure, they’re sexy and fun. But “Player” is an easy reputation to hide behind, a way to keep the good times rolling and reality at bay. He’s loud, he’s cocky, he says exactly what he’s thinking, and people just laugh it off because they think they know him. But Nico makes sure no one is close enough to know the truth. With a new season starting, he is ready to play the game he can control. They’ll all be watching Nico, the goalie, but they’ll never know the man behind the mask who is just trying to breathe. He hasn’t ever wanted anyone close enough to him to see the truth, until Aviva rams herself into his ass. Literally. Aviva Pearce’s life is a collection of bad days all wrapped up without a bow. If it can go wrong, it will. All she wants is to run her business, take care of her sister, and keep her head above water. But with a father who is out to ruin her like he has himself and debt trying to drown her, it’s hard to stay afloat. Aviva isn’t the type to waste time dwelling on her misfortunes or to give up, though. She’s got too much fight in her. And she definitely doesn’t have time to waste on the wildly sexy, rich, showboating goaltender everyone wants. She’s got goals. What she doesn’t know is that Nico has goals of his own. And she’s number one on his list.

You may think you have an idea of who Nico Merryweather is...….but you will be in for quite the surprise when you read Wild Tendy!  He was nothing like what I expected after meeting him in previous stories - but after truly getting to know the man behind the mask, oh boy do I just adore this man.  He just is one of those special characters that you will never forget.  And Aviva - what a strong, independent, selfless woman.  I am just in awe of her strength and resilience after all she has been through.  After the first time they met, Nico could just sense that there was something special about Aviva and was determined to get to know the woman who crashed into his life.  Watching the relationship between them was so beautiful to see, even though it was not easy by any means.  He was used to doing whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted and she was used to doing things on their own and not accepting help from anyone.  They had so many ups and downs; but at the end of the day, when you love someone, you love all the parts of them - and you find a way to make it work. 




I ended the book and felt in awe. I was a little speechless. Toni blew me away with her powerful words and creative writing. She penned such a beautiful story to pull on the heartstrings and opening your eyes to the unexpected.

You may have thought you know who the real Nico Merryweather is, with his love for woman and playboy ways, but you don’t know the half of it. This man is special and has so many layers that I couldn’t wait to see what he’d come up with next.

You want to find out who the real Nico is then you need to pick up Wild Tendy and hang on for one wild ride. He has a special place in my heart and I’m really not ready to share him but I might just so you can get a glimpse of this remarkable man.

Aviva is a warrior who is strong and independent and I couldn’t have picked a better woman to knock Nico on his butt. And let me tell you about that spitfire Callie. She is sassy and smart and going places. Nico didn’t have any chance but to love these two.

This story will surprise you in the best way possible. You don’t want to miss any of the action in this Ice Cats series. Toni is the queen of hockey with a mix of endearing romance and sexiness.

for good. 
  THAT FOREVER GIRL 

  ⭐⭐⭐FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED!!!!! ⭐⭐⭐ 



I’m a sucker for second chance romances and add in the small town and I’m hooked. And who better to give me all the feels with a little humor and a mix of sexiness than Meghan Quinn. She writes great love stories and gives us those sexy Knightly men.

Rogan and Harper’s story pulls on the heart strings while breaking your heart all at the same time. Meghan mixed the past with the future weaving a beautiful love story. Add in the mystery twist and she penned a perfect read with humor, mystery, sexiness and romance all wrapped up together.
I can’t wait for more of those brothers. There’s so much to uncover.


I just fell more in love with the town of Port Snow in That Forever Girl......and I fell hard for Rogan Knightly!  He's such a grumpy, broody, damaged hero, but deep down inside he's a wonderful and warm man.  Don't get me wrong - some of the things he said to Harper were pretty harsh and not nice at all; but after we find out the why and how he broke her heart (the breakup scene was brutal!), I could see where he was coming from, even though that does not excuse his behavior.  But watching them rekindle their love and relationship was so sweet.  You could tell that neither of them truly moved on, and that no matter who they were with or where they were in life, that the other would always have a piece of the other's heart. 

Of course we get to see all the Knightly brothers and the rest of the family - and the banter between them all is just too hilarious.  The text messages are just the best!!  And knowing we get Reid and Brig's stories soon - I can't wait to see what's in store for them!







  EXCERPT:
There is no way in hell she’s here.
My family isn’t that cruel. Right?
From my car, I try to gauge the number of bodies in my parents’ house through the windows. Ugh, I can’t see shit.
She can’t possibly be at family dinner. My family loves Harper, but they wouldn’t invite her, not after I called my mom the other day, telling her to put her matchmaking skills to rest. She just chuckled but reassured me she knew what she was doing. Whatever the hell that means.
I was very adamant about leaving Harper alone. The Knightlys can be too much at times, and I’m sure we’re the last thing she needs right when she’s trying to settle back into town.
Resigning myself to the inevitable, I retrieve my keys from the ignition and make my way to the front door. Hand on the doorknob, I take a deep breath and walk into the house I grew up in. The warm walls and carefully hung family pictures greet me first, followed by my family’s raucous laughter emanating from the back of the house.
I remove my shoes and hang my suit jacket on the coat hanger by the front door before cautiously making my way down the long hallway to the connected kitchen and large dining room. Ren, Griffin’s girlfriend, is the first to spot me. She gives me a small smile and a little wave. The rest of the family is scattered around the kitchen as usual, getting in my parents’ way as they try to finish up the dinner prep.
Griffin sees me next. “Ah, you finally decided to join us.” He checks his watch. “I think that was eight minutes in the car. Who had eight minutes?”
Reid raises his hand and hops off the counter, grabbing a bowl from the center of the table and pocketing the wad of cash inside. “I know him too well.” Reid pats me on the back and slips me a one-dollar bill. “Here, this is for you. Thanks for taking eight minutes to prepare yourself to come in the house. Daddy is going to buy a new pair of jeans.” He pats his pockets.
Ignoring everyone and their stupid bet, I pop the fridge door open and grab a water. Reid joins me, sticking his head in the fridge so I’m forced to look at him. “Aren’t you going to ask?”
“Ask what?” I grit out.
“If she’s here. I know that’s why you were hanging out in your car, debating if you should come in or not.”
My skin prickles, and I brace myself for the answer as I shut the fridge door. “Is she here?” I hiss.
Slowly, Reid smiles and nods. “Yup, she’s in the bathroom.”
“Are you fucking kidding me?” I angrily squeeze my water bottle, nearly popping the top off. “Why? Why is she here?”
Reid shrugs. “I don’t know, maybe because she wants to be here.”
“Who invited her? Was it Mom?” I don’t wait for an answer. Instead, I walk over to the culprit, who’s hovering over the stove, stirring a huge pot of chili.
“Oh, hey, sweetie. Cornbread is in the oven, honey is in the crock, and I also got tortilla chips because I know how much you like crumbling them in your chili.”
“Mom, why did you invite her? I told you to leave her alone, to leave usalone.”
“What are you talking about?” My mom looks me up and down and then goes back to the chili.
“Harper. I asked you not to invite Harper.”
The bathroom door opens, and Jen pops out, rubbing her hands together. “Did he come in yet?” Her eyes light up as she spots me. “What time was it?”
“Eight minutes. Reid won.”
Disappointed, she snaps her fingers. “Damn, I for sure thought I was going to win.”
Confused, I turn back to my mom. “Harper isn’t here?”
“No, of course not. I wouldn’t invite her so early. She needs time to settle. What made you think she was here?”
I whip around to find Reid leaning against the kitchen wall, arms crossed and with a giant grin on his face. I point at him. “You better run, because I’m going to fucking kill you.”
Like a bolt of lightning, he takes off, and I chase after him, nothing but pure murder on my mind.

*** 5 STARS ***

This book...….holy hotness!!  Lauren Blakely wrote one heck of a sexy, steamy and hot read that I absolutely devoured!!  Finn and Lily are quite sexually adventurous, and when Finn finds out her fantasy is to have a threesome......he will do anything to make her dreams come true.  And that he does!!  Adding that extra person to the mix was super hot and dirty and I loved every minute of it!!  Cannot wait to see what she has in store for the rest of the stories in this After Dark series!!

 
Excerpt: 
“You have the right to tell me all your fantasies while I f*&k you hard,” I informed her, then kissed her shoulder blade, eliciting a shudder.
“Anything you say can and will be used by me to turn you all the way on. You have the right to multiple Os.” She rocked her hips back against me.
“If you cannot have multiple Os, I will work harder all night long to give them to you. Do you understand? You’re going to divulge every filthy dream you have...”

Release Blitz/Review Tour: Inhale, Exhale by CL Matthews

Tuesday, August 13, 2019
Title: Inhale, Exhale
Author: C.L. Matthews
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 13, 2019


"I have never been left so affected by a book. This story totally wrecked me, I can't complain because the author did warn the reader. " - Anne M. Goodreads Reviewer

"The depth of angst in this book was beyond anything I could have imagined." - A.BookNerd.Bookseller&Bibliophile.Blog

"I do."

Two words woven in love.
In sickness and in health.
For better or for worse.
Til death do us part.
And death dragged us apart.
We both said these vows.
But neither of us kept them.
This is not one of those happy stories.
Life isn't made of simple choices and happily ever afters.
It's a dark place.
It's not easy.
It's full of mistakes and lessons.
It hurts.
And in the end, those two words said in love, are the same ones said in hate.
"You want a divorce?"
"I do."


*** 5 STARS ***

Holy crap. Seriously, WTF did I just read? This isn't said in a bad way, but in a my mind is still spinning and my heart is still beating so fast over that emotional roller coaster that CL Matthews took me on in Inhale/Exhale. 

This book truly had my heart racing the entire time I was reading.......i gasped out loud when I knew something heartbreaking was going to happen.....and even after finishing, just thinking about Jase and Lo and everything I read, my heart rate hasn't slowed down. The actions and emotions of these characters are real, raw, ugly and at times so unbelievably brutal and heartbreaking and will completely break you- but trying to sugarcoat what happens would be an injustice to this story. And sometimes the most difficult stories to read can also be the most rewarding and most beautiful stories told - and I think the author absolutely nailed it, and I just know that I won't ever forget this story and these characters.
