Happy New Year: 2019

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! 

A Game-Changing Christmas By Stephanie Nicole Norris

Synopsis: 

Two prominent families. A six-year rivalry. A common enemy. 

In this season of giving, love is in the air for the Rose and Valentine families. Because of the addition of in-laws, they both are in pursuit of new land and developments to build lasting memories with the ones they hold dear.
So when they submit bids against one another, their rivalry heats to a level that will bring them to a head; until they both become outbid by a new competitor. On the heels of a love affair brewing, the need for a partnership arises that may shut down the foundation of their feud permanently, or possibly, extend it. 
Can the families put aside their pride to reach their ultimate goal and mend fences? Or will their feud continue with no end in sight?

Authors note* While the central plot of this story is resolved by the end, the brewing romance between Raphael and Bri is not. Their full story will be released in early-2019.

About the Author: 

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always had a love for reading. In my childhood years, my sister and I would run to the bookmobile whenever the van would come sailing down our street. As I grew into a teenager, gradually, my interests changed from reading R. L. Stine’s Goosebumps series to reading stories like Sweet Valley High.

It wasn’t until I became a young adult, that I grew a love for romance novels. But after discovering them, I fell head over heels with the different hero’s and heroine’s, leaving me captivated by their devotion. Having a passion for writing, I also wanted to give readers the rapture, adoration, and all-consuming fire that burns within when experiencing two people fall madly for each other. It’s the kind of love that grips your heart and almost brings you to tears. 

Today, I continue to put forth the effort to entertain through the various character’s that speak to me, and as I write, I hope you’ll join our escapades as we explore this thing called love.

However, revenge is the only future he seeks, and he'll sacrifice his criminal empire to have it. But will he succeed? With the love and support of his Donna, his quest for vengeance delivers consequences to the lives of his family, friends, and children for generations to come.

To be his Donna during this ruthless war both her marriage and faith will be tested. Can she save him, her sister and an innocent unborn child in all of the chaos? Or will she finally be the Donna Nera who chooses her husband above all else?

The gamble he takes could be the death blow that destroys it all.

About The Author:

Do you like strong, sensual, alpha bad boys forced to humble themselves for the women they love? Me too. I am Sienna Mynx, the naughty writer of over thirty contemporary and historical romances. My stories have often been accused of sweeping readers away in heart racing decadence that can provoke laughter, soft sighs and even gratifying tears.

In 2010 Romantic Times nominated me for Erotic Romance E-book Writer of the Year Award, for a fast-paced exciting read about a young black hooch dancer in a travelling carnival during the Great Depression who meets a Sicilian bootlegger and goes on a Bonnie and Clyde ride of passion and freedom in Mexico.

After a two-week tour of Italy in 2012 I released the first three books in an epic series known as The Battaglia Mafia. All three Books (Destino, Ti Amo, La Sposa) have held the Amazon #1 Best Seller spot for Multicultural Romance, and African American romance.

Currently you’ll find me in the deep south under the shade of a magnolia tree with a ladies fan, sipping pink lemonade and dreaming up my next sensual romantic fantasy! To learn more about my work be sure to visit the website http://thedivaspen.com

Everything's Better With Kimberly By Lucy Eden

Title: Everything's Better with Kimberly

Author: Lucy Eden

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Photo: David Prado Perucha
Release Date: January 31, 2019

Blurb

Kimberly Simmons is gorgeous, brilliant, and way out of my league. She’s definitely not the type to fall for a guy who walked away from his family's fortune to become an architect. Good thing, too, because she works for Wolfe Industries, making her completely off-limits. Nailing this pitch to Wolfe’s CEO is exactly what I need to make my bosses forget about the last time I mixed business with pleasure. Too bad she has the most beautiful brown eyes and dazzling smile I’ve ever seen. Too bad I can’t stop staring.

Adam Price is a talented rising star architect at Will and Peking Designs. His newest design submission for The Wolfe Industries Caribbean Expansion is set to dazzle my CEO.) If Adam's design wins, with my help, I could get promoted, which means his big strong arms and gorgeous lips are strictly forbidden. It’s a good thing, too, because he has a reputation for leaving a trail of broken hearts all over Manhattan and I’m pretty sure I couldn't survive a second heartbreak. Too bad every word he says makes me smile. Too bad he gives me a sense of calm I haven't felt in a long time.

Keeping their relationship strictly professional for the sake of their jobs was the perfect excuse to stay away from each other. Too bad fate and undeniable chemistry have other plans…

This standalone, workplace/forced proximity romance features characters from the previous novellas Everything’s Better With You and Cherishing the Goddess, is full of alphas and steam, and has NO cheating.

Excerpt

“I’m sorry to interrupt you, but are you Adam Price?” It was his turn to be shocked and he smiled again.

“I am. How did you know that?” 

The Man-Whore. I was sitting next to the Man-Whore.

“Just a guess.” I shrugged.

“Well, I assume from your sudden change of expression, my reputation precedes me.”

My poker face needed some serious work. I tried to plaster on a professional smile. “You studied architecture at The Pratt Institute for both undergrad and grad school. You’ve worked on an impressive number of international projects before becoming the youngest senior architect at Will and Peking Design. Now, you’re on your way to Barbados to pitch WP for a hospitality project for Wolfe Industries.”

“That’s pretty impressive and spot on.” He nodded appreciatively. “Who are you?” 

“Thanks,” I said with a nod, feeling like I’d dodged a very uncomfortable bullet. “I’m Kimberly Simmons. I work for Wolfe. I’ll be working with you on the pitch.”

Knights Rising By Bella Jewel

Title: Knights Rising

Series: Rumblin' Knights #1

Author: Bella Jewel

Genre: Romance

Release Date: November 26, 2018

Blurb

Somethings are best left alone. 

I know this. I should stand by it. 

That would be the safest option for me. 

But, well, I just can’t do that. 

Because the thing I should leave alone…is everything.

It is the reason I breathe. 

It is the reason I keep putting one foot in front of the other. 

I need help. I know it, but nobody wants to step up and give that to me. 

The case is too hard. 

There is nothing they can do. 

And then I meet them. Bikers. The Knight Brothers. 

They can give me the help I need. They have the resources. 

But there is one problem that lies amongst all of this. 

Lincoln Knight. 

I can’t stand him. 

I loathe him. 

I despise him. 

And yet, he’s determined to help me. 

He won’t take no for an answer. 

And if I’m being honest…I need him.

But working with him, spending time with him, it’s the last thing I want to do. 

But…I have no choice. 

And I know it. 

This most definitely won’t end well. 

I love Bella Jewel and was over the moon she released a new MC series Knights Rising. This series starts off with Lincoln and Shania. Let’s just say the morning after. You know after that one mistake BUT it was so good?! Shania has found herself in a bit of trouble and needs the club help. Now this is my gripe about her, you need help but won’t give any details? Shania has a past of course and her secret is BIG. Although I can say she didn’t act too pressed in the beginning, I mean yea sure she was concerned but her behavior said anything but. Lincoln of course is a jerk who doesn’t know how to articulate his feelings. He is in a MC and gets women throwing themselves at him all the time. These two do the old song and dance: I love to hate you, lets still continue to sleep together, oh and everyone in the club knows their business. For me Lincoln and Shania love story was missing something maybe a spark? Like I said the story starts off with them hating each other, sleeping together, and him helping her find her old boss. BUT it was missing the depth we get from this authors other stories. This story had so many missing pieces, like chapters needed to be added. I just wasn’t as invested in this story. Don’t get me wrong Bella Jewel is a great author and I love her earlier work and the ones under her old pen name as well BUT these last few stories seem to be fillers like the passion is missing from it. This is just my opinion and not the gospel. For me this story wasn’t overly complicated but wasn’t that interesting to keep my attention either. Please read and judge for yourself.

UNTIL COBI BY: AURORA ROSE REYNOLDS

SYNOPSIS: 

I am a big fan of the “boom.” I love reading about the Mayson family and how each member finds their one. I can say for me with the last few books I felt as though something was missing. Don’t get me wrong ARR still delivers but Until Cobi for me didn’t have the same heat as the earlier books in the series. Ok so Cobi is a cop and Hadley is the ever so damsel in distress. Same formula (which works)! However Cobi and Hadley really had no build up. It was an insta-love short read. Cobi runs into Hadley at the scene of a crime and feels he needs to protect her, for him it’s an instant connection. Now our Hadley does make him work a little bit for it but not too hard. For him to be a cop, he had some very stalker like tendencies. Hadley was a social worker and I am glad that the author explored that aspect in the book. But I couldn’t get pass how very immature Hadley acted at times. The issue with the job sort of dragged on and then was tied up in one quick chapter. One thing that I enjoyed about the book was the epilogue and the chapter on December. For me this was a quick easy read without too much drama or build-up. It was a good read for the holiday break. This wasn’t my favorite book out of the series simply because the interaction between the two characters had no build-up to anything, it was more or less of him saying we will be together and her fighting the inevitable. I think this story could have used a few more chapters of character interaction, towards the end of the book did they introduce his parents. Maybe I was expecting too much from this story, this is not too say that this wasn’t a good read but for me a little disjointed. This is only one person’s opinion please check out this read for yourself.
