RELEASE BLITZ - My Best Friend by Taylor K. Scott




Title: My Best Friend
Author: Taylor K. Scott
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: December 10, 2021

BLURB
A friends-to-lovers romantic comedy!

Persephone

Life is a box of chocolates!

Well, if so, mine have gone thoroughly stale. In fact, they went on the turn over a decade ago, on the night I gave my virginity and my heart to my best friend, Henry Morgan. The very next day, the boy took everything with him to Hollywood, where he is living it up as one of the world’s most celebrated Oscar-winning actors.

I should have ditched that box ages ago.

But I can’t.

Not while Henry still sits in there, even if only from a distance.

Henry

If life is a box of chocolates, then mine has been an awesome collection! I’ve transformed from the nerd targeted by bullies to an Oscar-winner.

There’s just one problem - my best friend, Persephone Hill.

At seven years old, the girl saved my life by sharing a comic and a handshake. Ever since I’ve been hopelessly devoted to her.

Back when we were closer than close, I was too afraid to tell her how I really felt. So, friendship is where I’ve stayed.

Yes, life has been a box of chocolates, only the best flavour has been missing.

But that’s about to change. I’m finally going to claim Persephone as mine.

AUTHOR BIO
You'd think, being a writer, I would find this an easy feat, but talking about myself always leaves me a little stumped. So, I beg for your forgiveness when I attempt to give you a little bit of waffle about me. I'm a mother, wife, and primary school teacher, who has found a passion for reading and writing. It's become so addictive I no longer watch TV, instead, I get lost in alternative realities and frequently lie awake in the middle of the night with random ideas for what to put my characters through next. Music is often my muse, but I also love to include real life experiences in my books. I want people to be able to relate to my characters and to know that they're not the only ones to go through certain difficulties, anxieties, or embarrassing situations. I like to think my stories are different from one another, some being romantic comedies while others are full of suspense. Hopefully, you’ll agree and will enjoy getting lost inside of my head for a while. My serving suggestion is to indulge with a side dish of something sweet, something comfy, and where possible, a golden retriever to curl up next to.

The crazy thing is, even with everything I stand to lose,
I’m not sure I want her to.

EXCERPT
“Chloe,” I rasp, when class is over. “Stay back, if you would.”
This time, there are no chorus of jeers as the other students leave.
They know they know they know…
She saunters up to my desk and gives me a winning smile. I can smell her on her fingers.
“You need to stop this,” I snap.
“What?” she asks, wide-eyed and innocent, head tilting to one side. “You didn't seem to mind too much last night.”
I flinch at the reminder. “You assaulted me,” I say.
She laughs, rolling her eyes. “You grabbed my ass to make sure I took your full load,” she scoffs. “If anything, you took advantage of my vulnerable situation. I called you for help, you put me up in a hotel, then stopped by, took photos of me while I was asleep…” My eyes widen as she ticks off my list of offenses. “Then you forced yourself on me, Mr. Reed,” she finished, her eyes widening in fake fear and horror again. “Now…who do you think the police will believe?”
God, she's fucking crazy. I stare at her, not sure what to say.
“What do you want?” I whisper. I wish my voice was stronger, but it's not. I feel like the Earth is falling out from under me. She’s got me firmly by the balls and she damn well knows it.
Her smile widens, and she leans in. “I think I've made that pretty obvious,” she purrs, trailing her fingers up my jaw, to my lips. She smells like herself, tastes like it too when she forces two fingers into my mouth. I can't help sucking on them, helplessly, watching her shiver and bite her lower lip.
“I want you to fuck me,” she demands, pulling her fingers out. “Right here, right now.”
“What?” I laugh, bitterly, looking at the door. “I can't…”
“Do it,” she says harshly. “Or I'll call the police.”
“You wouldn't.”
But I'm not so sure.
Chloe looks at me, smirking and sly. “Try me.”
I clench my jaw, rage rising in my stomach like bile. I shove myself to my feet and go to the door, slamming it shut. I'm so pissed off and so turned on, that the conflicting feelings are raging through my nerves like two fighting wolves.
“Come on, Mr. Reed,” she taunts from behind me. When I turn around, I see her sitting on the desk, legs spread and inviting. “What are you waiting for?”

It's Monday! What Are You Reading?


Welcome to It's Monday! is a weekly event hosted by Book Date to share with others what you've read the past week and are planning to read the next.

I've been in a reading slump but I seem to be finding my way out of it at last. I think a lot of my reading slump has been a real life drain. Covid has changed a lot of things over the last couple of years so finding time to read and blog has been lacking but I've been missing it so much. 

Read last week
A Mechanic's Worst Nightmare by S.B. Biddinger I need to write the review but I loved it! 

Currently reading
Two + One by S.B. Biddinger 

Rest of the week
Monsters Under My Bed by M.J. Marstens 

What's on your reading list this week?

BOOK BLITZ - A Paris Affair by Mary Oldham




Title: A Paris Affair
Series: Hotel Baron #1
Author: Mary Oldham
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 11, 2021

BLURB
Begin a brand-new series from award-winning author Mary Oldham—two friends become lovers in book one of the Hotel Baron’s Series—a whirlwind office romance where the boss is never right… A Paris Affair

From Paris to Portland, their journey is heartfelt as the search for true love knows no bounds.

Daisy has never known the unconditional love of a traditional family. It’s not that she doesn’t believe in happily-ever-after. She’s just not so sure she’ll ever find it. But that’s the least of her concerns right now—if Daisy doesn’t land a job, she’ll have much more to deal with than just finding work. Fortunately, the stars are aligned. She lands her dream job and quite possibly her dream man too…except he’s her boss. And she’s totally against office romance for reasons only her mother knows. But she can’t seem to keep away—

Alex doesn’t believe in love at first sight. He doesn’t tolerate employee fraternization of any sort. When they first met, he found her delightful and someone he could imagine a future with—but then he’d hired her. She was his subordinate, and she was strictly off-limits. At least that’s what he’s been telling himself…over and over and over and over.

As they grow closer, they discover a mutual attraction that won’t quit. But, will Daisy get her HEA? Does Alex realize their love is real?

COVER REVEAL - The Greatest Gift by S.L. Sterling




Title: The Greatest Gift
Author: S.L. Sterling
Genre: Contemporary Holiday Romance
Cover Design: Thunderstruck Cover Designs
Release Date: December 17, 2021

BLURB
Derrick destroyed Tess's heart only weeks before their Christmas-themed wedding. He'd been cheating on her with his secretary, I knew I should have said something, but didn't because I didn't want to be the one to break her heart. After all, I'd crushed on her since he'd introduced us, so instead, I decided to step in and clean up his mess.

One night she came to me, telling me how the honeymoon she'd booked was non-refundable and how she wished she had someone to travel with. Since I believed no one should be alone for Christmas I agreed to go with her.

We had 10 days in Paris and when we arrived it felt as if we'd been transported into another world. She was finally laughing and smiling until we arrived at the hotel to find everything had been prepared for the newlyweds, which we weren't. One look at her and I knew the tears were going to come rushing back if I didn't step up and take control of the situation.

Afterward, I pulled her in for an innocent hug. The problem was she fit perfectly as if she'd been made for me. It was then that I realized this trip wasn't going to be easy and that the next 10 days were going to be filled with cold showers, especially if she didn't feel the connection too.

From USA Today Bestselling Author S.L. Sterling comes this heartfelt holiday romance that proves time heals everything if you let it.

Binge Watching

 

It's been a while since I've posted what I'm watching. Not for lack of watching tv because I'm always doing that so it seems. I tend to binge watch shows so I end up waiting for them to hit a streaming platform and I have many of them. 

It's been a while since I've shared what I've been watching. I've finished or gotten current on a lot of shows over the last year. Some of them are amazing others are just meh. 
Today I have Arcane which is the animated series that tells the story of several of the League of Legends characters. The main focus is the two sisters Jinx and Vi each unique in their own right but just as powerful as they are beautiful. 

I've not had a lot of PC gaming in the last bunch of years but eventually I hope to change that one of these days. My bestie Chris is a huge League of Legends fan he loves the game. So when he picked out the show for us to watch I admit that I was curious as he's the League of Legends fan. I went into Arcane with fresh eyes so I had a lot of questions for Chris who was this who is that but he took it all in stride without spoiling anything. I loved every moment of the series it was well done. Now from his perspective as a huge League fan he loved it too. We both can't wait for the next season to watch. The plus side is you don't have to know anything about League to enjoy the story. 

What have you been watching?
