Description: In a world of wreck and ruin, I was broken beyond repair.
City lights and colour were nothing more than places of hopeless dreams and dark shadows where I fought for survival—for a freedom that didn’t seem to exist.
Guilt and regret were all I knew—all I deserved—and I welcomed them with open arms, taking every hit that brought me to my knees.
I embraced the ghosts that weighed heavy.
I fed my demons with whiskey and aggression.
I was lost in the darkness of my own twisted mind with nothing and no one.
Until her.
She changed me.
She changed everything.
And I’ve never hated anyone more. I loathe her for making me fall.

Hello Readers.

I love novellas. They are perfect for when you do not want to take on a lengthy book but you want to read. I read about this series and requested this arc. It was exactly what I was looking for. 

The premise of this novella was perfect. The characters were excellent. The chemistry was like a powder keg. I loved it!

I am rating this novella Five Blue Books because I could not love this novella more. I cannot wait for the rest of the series. I will be looking into the other work by the author. Highly recommend.

Lone Hearts by Lindsay Detwiler - Release

Lone Hearts by Lindsay Detwiler

Series: Lines in the Sand

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: June 6, 2020

A lawyer by day and a player by night, Cash Creed’s life in Texas is about one thing—living it up. When a tragedy in the family summons Cash to Ocean City for the summer, he’s excited about the possibility for hot new conquests and a no-rules kind of fun.

Sage Everling, a self-made successful entrepreneur, is strong, sassy, and okay with loving them and leaving them. Too busy for serious love, her focus is on success… but that doesn’t mean she can’t have some fun from time to time.

Two players spend the summer in a town focused on freedom and passion. When Sage and Cash’s paths cross, however, they both meet their match. As the summer progresses and their feelings intensify, both learn that playing for fun and playing for keeps are two very different games.

Who will be conquered?

Sometimes lines in the sand are meant to be broken.

An English teacher, a bestselling romance author, also a USA Today bestselling thriller author, and a fan of anything pink and/or glittery, Lindsay's the English teacher cliché—she loves cats, reading, Shakespeare, and Poe.

Lindsay's goal with her writing is to show the power of love and the beauty of life while also instilling a true sense of realism in her work. Some reviewers have noted that her books are not the "typical romance." With her novels coming from a place of honesty, Lindsay examines the difficult questions, looks at the tough emotions, and paints the pictures that are sometimes difficult to look at. She wants her fiction to resonate with readers as candid, poetic, and powerful.

“Inked Hearts,” released in 2017 with Hot Tree Publishing, was named a Romance Times Top Pick. Additionally, “Remember When,” released in April of 2017, was named a Route One Reads Romance Pick by the Pennsylvania Center for the Book.

Lindsay currently lives in her hometown of Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, with her husband, Chad (her junior high sweetheart); their cats, Arya, Amelia, Alice, Marjorie, and Tyrion; and their Mastiff, Henry. In addition to being a huge bookworm, Lindsay's also a fan of cruelty-free makeup, coffee, chocolate, Netflix, and shopping.

My best friend Sophie was gorgeous, at times uptight and desperate.

Her biological clock was ticking and after yet another failed relationship she pulled me aside.

"Listen Chase, you know I adore you and you know I need you. Historically, you always come through for me." She swallowed hard while I listened. "It's no secret that I want a baby, the semi old fashioned way."

I nodded not really believing what I was hearing.

"I want you to do it."

"You want my swimmers?"

"Yes, through natural injection."

Sex with my best friend. The best friend I had once upon a time wanted in a bad way.

"Don't worry, I've got this covered," I assured her. She looked relieved and maybe even a little excited.

Seven Days, Six nights, and lots of sex. What more could I want?

Oh right. A way to turn this into forever so I could raise my child too. 

Hello Readers.

I was sent a copy of this book to read and review. My exposure to this author's work is very limited. This is the fourth book in the series so I was not sure if I needed to read the others beforehand. I am happy to report that reading the others was not necessary to enjoy this one. 

This book grabbed my attention. The chemistry of the characters is amazing. The scenarios were well written. I giggled at some points. The overall flow of this story was fantastic. Read in one setting. 

I am rating this book Five Blue Books because it was an absolute delight to read. I will be reading the other books in the series and looking into any other work's that the author may have. If you want a fun feel good romance, this one is for you. Highly recommend.

Raine by MV Ellis - Cover Reveal

Raine: Gods of the Fifth Floor 2 by MV Ellis

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: June 30, 2020
Cover Design: Sarah Paige Opium House Creatives

They think they’ve lost everything. But then they find each other. 

RAINE

I’m the clichéd “poor little rich boy”

I have everything I want, but nothing I need

I get high to escape the lows of my past

Yet there’s no escaping the monster in the mirror

I’ve always been about taking, until I took too much 

They paid the price, and it’s a debt I can never repay 

So I’m killing myself slowly 

Because I can’t bring myself to end it fast

NOA

I know what it is to have loved and lost

Now I’m slowly picking up the pieces of my life

I should put my needs first, but that’s not me

If someone’s broken I need to fix them

Even if I get hurt along the way

Nobody should feel like they want to die 

My love alone wasn’t enough before 

So this time I’m determined to be a reason to live

MV ELLIS knows what it’s like to fall head over heels in love with a badass musician. She followed her heart halfway around the world to be with one. She moved from London to Sydney after a steamy holiday romance with a sexy bass player in sultry Brazil.

Twelve years, two children and a dog later, and she’s still smitten. All this with a guy she sat next to on a bus for 36 hours! She has toured internationally as a ‘WAG’, and her experiences inspire her writing.

Ellis’ love of romance began when she was 11 years old, after a summer spent secretly reading her auntie’s books. She’s been a sucker for an alpha hero and strong heroine ever since.

An avid reader, Ellis always knew that she’d write a book of her own one day. She was right about that. Following a career spanning advertising, marketing, and social media, she finally wrote Catching London in 2017. She has continued to expand the Heartless Few series beyond Catching London, with releases planned through to 2020. In addition, she has launched a new four-part

series, Rough Ink series, set in the sexy world of a New York tattoo studio. Expect the same sexy badass guys, angst galore, witty banter, scorching bedroom scenes, and kickass sassy women; but with a whole new world, and cast of characters to get to know and love. Zed, the first book in the series launched in June 2019.
