Cover Reveal: Only Him by Melanie Harlow

May 3, 2018 amorettesreviewsLeave a comment

Only Him, an all-new sexy and emotional second chance romance from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow is coming June 4th!

Blurb: Sometimes your first love deserves a second chance…
He was my first crush, my first kiss, my first everything.
But I’m not a lovesick teenager anymore, and I’d never let that cocky troublemaker break my heart again.

So when he shows up out of the blue asking me to have dinner with him “for old time’s sake,” I say I will. After all, it’s been twelve years, and I’m stronger and smarter than I was back then.

Except…he still does something to me. He’s got those eyes that make me weak, those hands that drive me wild, and a body I can’t resist—especially once I see the tattoos. It doesn’t take long for our trip down memory lane to go from sweet to sizzling.

We’re just as good together as we were back then—better, even—and I’m willing to give the only man I’ve ever loved another chance. But he’s got to tell me the truth.

* * *
All I wanted was to see her again. Tell her I’m sorry. Make her smile. Okay, that’s a lie. I wanted to do more than that—a lot more. But I know she’s better off without me, and I promised myself I’d behave.

Except I’ve never been much good at keeping promises…or my hands to myself when I’m around her.

I can make her laugh, I can make her cry, I can make her body surrender to mine in ways that neither of us could have imagined back then. I can—and I do—love her more than she’ll ever know.

But I can’t tell her the real reason why I’m here. And I can’t stay.

Cover Reveal: Bane by LJ Shen

May 2, 2018May 2, 2018 amorettesreviewsLeave a comment

Bane, the highly-anticipated next standalone in the Sinners of Saint Series by L.J. Shen is coming May 10th!

Blurb: Bane Naked surfer. Habitual pothead. A con, a liar, a thief and a fraud.
Last I heard, he was extorting the rich and screwing their wives for a living.
Which is why I’m more than a little surprised to find him at my threshold, looking for my friendship, my services, and most puzzling of all—looking humbled.
Thing is, I’m on a boycott. Literally—I cut boys from my life. Permanently.
Problem is, Bane is not a boy, he is all man, and I’m falling, crashing, drowning in his sweet, perfect lies.

Jesse Carter: Hot as hell, cold as ice.
I wasn’t aware of her existence until a fat, juicy deal landed in my lap.
She’s a part of it, a little plaything to kill some time.
She is collateral, a means to an end, and a side-bonus for striking a deal with her oil tycoon stepdad. More than anything, Jesse Carter is a tough nut to crack.
Little does she know, I have the f****** teeth for it.

Cover Reveal: Afternoon Delight by Piper Rayne

May 2, 2018May 2, 2018 amorettesreviewsLeave a comment

Afternoon Delight, the next standalone in the romantic and hilarious Charity Case Series by Piper Rayne is coming May 31st!

Blurb: The perfect man for me is the one who broke my heart. #thanksbutnothanks
Once bitten. Twice shy. Yeah, I wish. I’m on a mission to find myself a nice, solid, respectable man. The only problem is nice, solid, and respectable comes in a meh package and is B-O-R-I-N-G as hell.
It’s been established. I have one type. Bad Boy.

I tried the other flavors, I really did. But there’s nothing like the allure of a man who takes what he wants without apology.
As if my love life isn’t dramatic enough, Dean Bennett walks into my life again thinking he’s going to win me back with his charm and charisma. He might come in a different package, but under that expensive suit he’s still the same cocky, arrogant, pompous prick who only cares about numero uno.

I’m not that naïve young girl anymore so I have to ignore the fact that the way he looks at me practically sets my panties on fire.
Everyone deserves a second chance to right a wrong. The problem? He’s not just an ex-boyfriend… he’s my ex-husband.

May 2, 2018May 2, 2018 amorettesreviewsLeave a comment

A brand new contemporary romance from New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author Katy Evans, Playboy coming July 29th 2018.

Synopsis: It started as a game. We flirted. We played. Most importantly—we won.
Then I discovered who he was: Gambler. Famous playboy. Silver-eyed player who never plays to lose…and my best friend’s soon-to-be brother in law, Cullen Carmichael.
He needed a good luck charm, I needed a distraction.
So we made a gamble and set off for Vegas—but pretty soon—I was in too deep.
My heart, soul, and body weren’t supposed to be part of the deal.
But somewhere between big wins and long nights, my house of cards started to tumble.
What was this devil with those piercing eyes doing to me?
I’d given up on love, but the wicked, all-in Cullen Carmichael was upping the ante and wouldn’t stop until he’d won it all.

ARC Review: One More Time by Laurelin Paige

May 1, 2018July 11, 2018 amorettesreviewsLeave a comment

one 1.jpg
The Cover: There have been so many good book covers with couples on them lately and I am head over heels for One More Time‘s cover! It embodies Jenna and Tanner perfectly, I love it! A+

Basics:One More Time was released on May 2nd 2018. Genre wise One More Time belongs to contemporary romance and second chance romance.

Description: Ten years ago, we were the toast of the town.
Tanner’s acting career had just begun. He was hotter than the stage lights, and twice as captivating. The gorgeous Australian A-lister was everyone’s teenage dream. And he’d picked or so I thought, until he proved to be as false as everything else about Hollywood. Now I’ve finally scored the perfect opportunity to star in a major film. The kicker? Tanner will be my co- star. I don’t know if I can do this one more time….

Right now, we’re the talk of the town.
Jenna’s even more beautiful than she was the last time we were together. And just like before, I can’t keep my hands off her. She still doesn’t know the truth. The secret of what really happened back then. Now I have the length of this shoot to convince her to rewrite our script. But if I have her one more time, will once ever be enough?
One More Time.jpg Overall thoughts: I want to start off by saying how much of a talented Laurelin Paige is! She just has this way with words that just transports you into the heart and mind of the character she’s narrating through and it is one of the most greatest reading experiences I’ve ever had. Second chance romance is one of my favorite genres when it comes to the romance community and book world; everyone loves seeing two people come back together after time and distance. It’s dramatic, romantic and in a way reminds us that sometimes love doesn’t fade. It doesn’t always happen but when it does, it’s magical.

Jenna used to be a well known model, now she’s putting up her heels from the runaway and trying to dive into the waters of acting. However this is Hollywood and nothing ever comes easy, she’s feeling pretty down about herself and her acting future until her agent offers her a deal of a lifetime. Problem is…she would act and reunite with Tanner, the man who broke her heart ten years ago. After deciding she can push away her broken heart, she rallies herself and signs on to act in the movie with Tanner, knowing that even if though their time together may be difficult she knows in the end it will help her.

Tanner is completely blown away when he sees Jenna again; she’s still the same woman he knew before but also different. The same feelings that withered between them ten years ago seem to blossom again, but Jenna wants to stay professional and Tanner suddenly finds himself falling for her all over again. You can’t fight fate and these two are definitely meant to be together.

One More Time is a beautiful second chance romance story with two characters struggling to figure out how they feel for one another. It’s one of my favorite tropes because as you read it, you really aren’t sure what’s going on or what happened between these two people but you juts want them to make it work! That’s how it is for me when it comes to reading second chance romance anyway! Tanner and Jenna are an electric couple and I loved how they couldn’t stay away from each other, even after ten years. One More Time is a great second chance romance read and if you are a fan of this genre you will definitely love it as much as I did!

Couple Chemistry Rating: 5/5 Shells

Favorite Quotes: “To them, I’m not a real person. No one here in La La Land is. We exist for their attention alone.” -Jenna

“Ten years, and I still want to kill him and fuck him all at once.” -Jenna

“I love you my perfect girl.”
“Tell me one more time.”
“I do. And then I tell her again.” -Jenna & Tanner

My Rating: 5/5 Shells

Blog Tour & Excerpt: Manic Monday by Piper Rayne

April 30, 2018April 26, 2018 amorettesreviewsLeave a comment

Manic Monday, an all-new hilarious and romantic standalone from Piper Rayne, is LIVE!
PRManicMondayBookCover5x8_MEDIUM
Blurb: The perfect man for me is a blood-sucking lawyer. #pfftwhatever
Been there.
Done that.
Burned the T-shirt.

I didn’t swear off all men after my divorce, but I sure as hell swore off anyone remotely like my ex. On the top of that list? Attorneys. Everyone knows they can’t be trusted.

Now that I’m back in Chicago, my focus is my daughter, my mom and me. I haven’t given up on finding my happily-ever-after, it’s just on hold—indefinitely. Then I see Reed Warner again, and he weasels his way into every part of my life, not willing to take no for an answer. In spite of my better judgment I can’t stop thinking about the way his designer suits fit his muscular frame, or the way his blue eyes seem to eat me up with every glance.

You know when you’re on a diet and even hummus seems irresistible? Reed is like the equivalent of chocolate éclair and my willpower is fading fast.

The problem? Not only is he a lawyer…he was the best man at my wedding.
ManicMonday-Teaser 1-AN.jpg Excerpt: My phone rings just as I step onto the train. “Hello?”

“Victoria.” Darcie barks my name like she’s the head nun at a Catholic high school and I’m showing cleavage.

“How did you get this number?”

“I have my connections,” she says, and I already know from her tone that she’s about to ruin my day.

“What’s up, Darcie?” I try to hide the irritation from my voice, but I’m not sure I’m entirely successful.

“I just found you a partner to help with the carnival event.”

I blow out a breath and find a seat in the back of the train. “I don’t need a partner.”

“Well, he would only help out if it meant that he could work with you.”

A million swear words set off like a round of fireworks in my head.

“You’re kidding me?”

She laughs. “I wish I was.” I detect a bite of jealousy in her tone. “If I was single…anyway, he requested you and we so rarely get fathers or father figures so in this case, I have to let him have what he wants. And for some reason, that’s you.”

I watch the city skyline getting closer out the window. “Who is he to Henry?” I ask.

She laughs and then I hear chatter behind her. I wish I was in front of her, so I could shake her shoulders and get her to focus on me.

“Oh, you’ll find out.”

“Henry’s mom’s boyfriend?” I ask.

“Nope. Ask for yourself. Gotta go. Oh, and I’m sending him your phone number right now.”

Click.

The line dies. Mother fucking hell. Am I trapped in some Mean Girls reunion movie?

I haven’t even tucked my phone back into my purse before it dings with a text. I’d ignore it if I wasn’t worried that it could be my mom needing me.

Unknown: Hey, it’s Reed. The stunning guy you just reacquainted yourself with twenty minutes ago. How about a nightcap tonight to start brainstorming ideas for the carnival?

I add his contact information into my phone, so I don’t mistakenly answer again.

Me: Don’t you have a son to watch at night?

Reed: Nope.

Me: I don’t think your girlfriend would appreciate your invite. We can talk details over a morning coffee and that’s it.

Reed: ???

Reed: Not even dinner?

I don’t respond.

Reed: Lunch? Even business associates have lunch together.

I shake my head and try to tamp down my temper.

Reed: Fine. But mornings are hard for me.

I’m being difficult for the sake of being difficult now. I can’t very well ask Hannah to come in late to plan some stupid carnival booth anyway.

Me: Saturday?

Reed: J J J J J My place.

The three dots appear but I respond before he can.

Me: McDonald’s on Peterson. The kids can play, and we’ll talk. Noon.

Reed: You run a hard bargain and I make a lot of deals.

What the hell does that mean?

Reed: I take it that’s the end of our conversation?

I don’t reply because there’s nothing else to say.

Reed: Message received. Have a great day, Victoria. J

I tuck my phone back into my purse with a giddy feeling inside. Damn it. I wish my stomach would get the message my brain is trying to send it.

April 2018 Wrap Up

April 30, 2018July 11, 2018 amorettesreviewsLeave a comment

I cannot believe how fast April flew by! It literally just feels like yesterday was April 1st and here we are on April 30th, craziness I tell you! It’s been a busy but good month! I’ve read and reviewed the most this month so far for this year which makes me feel pretty dang good! So in this blog post I just wanted to discuss all the books I reviewed and re-read and just overall discuss the books of April. Happy Reading!

April started off with Love Rerouted by Leddy Harper, a story about finding love in the most unexpected and the most inconvenient of times. I really loved the story and the plot twists Leddy comes up with is amazing!
love re
Blurb: I needed to get out of town but didn’t have a car.
He had nowhere to go and offered to drive.
Forty-eight hours was all we were given.
A lifetime wouldn’t have been enough.

She had something of mine.
And I was determined to get it back.
I thought it was just my getaway car she’d stolen.
I had no idea she’d captured my heart as well.

My review <—

My second read of April was the heart wrenching and emotional This Time Around by Stacey Lynn. It was very well written with heartfelt characters but honestly was hard for me to read. Lots of angsty and heartache but healing love too.
ThisTimeAround-StaceyLynn-Amazon
Blurb: Cooper Hawke was everything I didn’t need. Rich and famous, and a high-profile actor, he lived a life of luxury while my life had always been much more simple.

Yet when he showed up at my cattle ranch in Kansas, he gave me everything I didn’t think I wanted again.

His marriage was over and he was lost. I was still barely surviving in my grief after my husband’s sudden death.

As hard as I tried to keep him out, he slipped past my defenses, and slowly, a connection grew between us I could no longer deny.

But this time around, we were on borrowed time. Because Cooper still had his real life waiting for him back in Hollywood.

My review <—

My next two reads were books that I read before but re-read because I wanted to read for review and man this series blows me away! The Darkest Drae series includes Blood Oath (book #1) and Shadow Wings (book #2) I’ve been on a fantasy, romance, mature YA kick lately and these two books did not disappoint! I’m super excited for book #3 in this series Black Crown out June 30th.

Blurb: Everything I know is a lie.
I’m an ordinary mortal girl. Lord Irrik is a depraved dragon shifter. King Irdelron is an immortal tyrant. In the disease ridden land of Verald, life is mapped out much like the established rings of our kingdom. Everyone has a role…
Me? I’ll be uselessly serving potato stew for the rest of my life because I can’t make anything grow. But starvation brews rebellion.
When the king strikes, I’m captured by Lord Irrik. Instantly, I’m embroiled in a deadly game. One where I’m desperate to understand the rules. Because nothing makes sense anymore. Now, I’m not only fighting for my life . . . but a love that could be the key to my freedom. What if the truth means you’re not who — or what — you thought you were?

shadow wings
Blurb: I will never be controlled again. A manipulative dragon shifter. A sexy phaetyn prince. Me? I shouldn’t even exist.

With peace established in Verald, I should be free; Lord Tyrrik is liberated from his blood oath, after all. But the freedom in Verald is an illusion. If I remain, destruction will surely follow.

As soon as I come into my powers, the blood-thirsty emperor of Draecon will know. Even now, he is hunting me.

When a Phaetyn prince arrives promising safety, the solution seems perfect. A little too perfect. But is the objective of our group security or something more? Because everyone is telling me what my goals should be.

Who do you trust when everyone has lied to you?
Should I listen with my head – or my heart?
I might not get a choice.

My review <—

One of my goals for 2018 as a blogger and reader was to find more authors to read and review that I hadn’t read or reviewed before. I noticed I had a bad habit of reading and reviewing for the same authors over and over which was nice but I wanted to branch out. I read the synopsis for The Swedish Prince by Karina Halle and was immediately drawn to it! I’m so glad I signed up to review because I ended up loving this book!

Blurb: I never believed in fairy-tales. Never held out for Prince Charming.

Growing up poor in small-town California as the oldest of six siblings, I knew I would never ride off into the sunset with anyone. That was even more apparent when a senseless tragedy took the lives of my parents, forcing me to become the sole guardian of our dysfunctional household at the mere age of twenty-three.

Then a fateful encounter literally brought Prince Charming to my dusty doorstep.At first I thought Viktor was just your average businessman passing through, albeit obscenely handsome, six-foot-five, blue-eyed, and mysteriously rich.

But soon I discovered the truth behind Viktor’s façade.

Beneath his quiet, enigmatic gaze and cocky charm, is a man who is running away from who he really is. A role he’d rather not fulfill.

He is Viktor of House Nordin, His Royal Highness, The Crown Prince of Sweden.
Yet uncovering Viktor’s secret was only the first step.
I didn’t expect to fall in love with him.
I didn’t expect to have my whole life turned upside down.
When you’re from two different worlds, can your hearts meet somewhere in the middle?
Or do happily-ever-afters only exist in fairy-tales?
The Swedish Prince is a standalone romance inspired by Roman Holiday.

My review <—

Penelope Douglas won my heart over with Punk 57 and she kinda fell off my radar for some odd reason, but I had the opportunity to read and review Birthday Girl and she is out of this world amazing as a writer. There is just something about age gap romances that attracts me and makes me fall head over heels for the story and characters and Birthday Girl embodied that perfectly.
Teaser-1 (2)
Blurb: JORDAN: He took me in when I had nowhere else to go.
He doesn’t use me, hurt me, or forget about me. He doesn’t treat me like I’m nothing, take me for granted, or make me feel unsafe.
He remembers me, laughs with me, and looks at me. He listens to me, protects me, and sees me. I can feel his eyes on me over the breakfast table, and my heart pumps so hard when I hear him pull in the driveway after work.
I have to stop this. It can’t happen.
My sister once told me there are no good men, and if you find one, he’s probably unavailable.
Only Pike Lawson isn’t the unavailable one. I am.

PIKE: I took her in, because I thought I was helping.
She’d cook a few meals and clean up a little. It was an easy arrangement.
As the days go by, though, it’s becoming anything but easy. I have to stop my mind from drifting to her and stop holding my breath every time I bump into her in the house. I can’t touch her, and I shouldn’t want to.
The more I find my path crossing hers, though, the more she’s becoming a part of me.
But we’re not free to give into this. She’s nineteen, and I’m thirty-eight.
And her boyfriend’s father.
Unfortunately, they both just moved into my house.
*BIRTHDAY GIRL is a stand-alone, contemporary romance suitable for ages 18+.

In spite of my better judgment I can’t stop thinking about the way his designer suits fit his muscular frame, or the way his blue eyes seem to eat me up with every glance.

You know when you’re on a diet and even hummus seems irresistible? Reed is like the equivalent of chocolate éclair and my willpower is fading fast.

The problem? Not only is he a lawyer…
He was the best man at my wedding.

Blurb & Cover Reveal: Fat Cat Liar by Ahren Sanders

April 27, 2018 amorettesreviewsLeave a comment

FatCatLiar-FINAL-Ebook (1).jpg Blurb: The night I met Greer Palmer was no coincidence.
The plan was perfect. Everything was in place. All I had to do was get her attention and the rest would take its course.
What I didn’t plan was my reaction the first time she spoke.
“Are you okay?” Three little words…
That’s all it took for her to steal my breath and shatter every thing I’d expected.
She was supposed to be a spoiled socialite, a pampered princess, an elite heiress— anything other than the striking beauty that blew my misconceptions to pieces.
One kiss and I became obsessed.
One night and I became addicted.
One month and she became my world.
Suddenly, my plan wasn’t so perfect.
To her, I am sunset kisses, whispers of seduction, and promises of forever.
It’s all a lie…
I’m Lawson Hall. My name and reputation speaks for itself as one of the most successful architects in the industry. Conceited, arrogant, egotistical, ruthless— I’ve earned it all.
In reality, I’ve bided my time, done my job, and waited my turn. Now is my chance.
Greer thinks we met by accident, but she’s wrong. Once the lies are exposed, will the truth be enough?

Fat Cat Liar Teaser 2.png About the Author: Ahren spent her formative years living in an active volcano. There her family made collectible lava art. She studied rock collecting at the Sorbonne in France. There she met the love of her life-her pet pig Sybil. She returned to the states and started writing. She is happily married to a guy who used to live under a bridge and she met while pole-dancing.

Now, meet the real me. I grew up in the south and consider myself a true “Southerner”. Most of the special locations mentioned in my books are reflections of my favorite places. Living on the Florida coast, my family spends a lot time at the beach, which is where I usually can be found with a book in my hand.

Cover Reveal: Filthy Gods by R. Scarlett

April 27, 2018 amorettesreviewsLeave a comment

Filthy Gods (American Gods 0.5), an all-new Sexy New Adult Romance by R. Scarlett is Coming May 15th!! Cover Design and Photography by Regina Wamba at Mae I Design and Photography

Synopsis: Prelude in the American Gods series.

Young. Wealthy. Elite. Attractive. The gentlemen’s secret society at Yale was filled with them. And Nathaniel Radcliffe, the bane of my existence, was one of them.

As the right hand of the American Gods, he was conceited and arrogant. A dangerously handsome man in a tailored custom suit and shiny black oxford loafers.

The classroom was our battlefield. We made a sport out of arguing and debating, ready to do anything in order to win over the other.

Deadly opponents, deadlier minds.
I’d sworn I’d never give him the upper hand, until…the secret I’ve been hiding for the last three years? He just discovered it…and now he has all the power.

About the Author: Scarlett lives in a small quaint town in Southern Ontario, Canada and has an unhealthy obsession with mythology and romance. From studying English literature and minoring in History, she loves losing herself in a good book and snuggling up to her Brittany Spaniel.

When she’s not writing or plotting a delicious novel, she can be found hanging out with friends and family, going on long car rides, exploring small towns, or watching reruns of Sex and the City.

ARC Review & Release Blitz: Manic Monday by Piper Rayne

April 26, 2018April 26, 2018 amorettesreviewsLeave a comment

PRManicMondayBookCover5x8_MEDIUM
The Cover: I love this cover so much! I think covers that have couples on them are so much fun and I love to try and catch the character’s personalities on them from the book. A+

Basics:Manic Monday was released on April 26 2018. Genre wise Manic Monday belongs to contemporary romance.

Description: The perfect man for me is a blood-sucking lawyer.
#pfftwhatever
Been there.
Done that.
Burned the T-shirt.
I didn’t swear off all men after my divorce, but I sure as hell swore off anyone remotely like my ex. On the top of that list? Attorneys. Everyone knows they can’t be trusted.

Now that I’m back in Chicago, my focus is my daughter, my mom and me. I haven’t given up on finding my happily-ever-after, it’s just on hold—indefinitely.

Then I see Reed Warner again, and he weasels his way into every part of my life, not willing to take no for an answer.

In spite of my better judgment I can’t stop thinking about the way his designer suits fit his muscular frame, or the way his blue eyes seem to eat me up with every glance.

You know when you’re on a diet and even hummus seems irresistible? Reed is like the equivalent of chocolate éclair and my willpower is fading fast.

He was the best man at my wedding.
Manic Monday.jpg Overall thoughts: One of my goals for book blogging this year was to read and promote authors that I haven’t read before. I read the synopsis for Piper Rayne’s Manic Monday, was immediately intrigued and signed up to review it. I am SO glad I did! This was my first Piper Rayne book and honestly I am very impressed. These two authors team up well write and they certainly know how to write a funny, romantic, heartfelt story.

Victoria just came back home to Chicago after a bitter divorce with her young daughter. Taking care of her ill mother, seven year old and spirited daughter and starting a new job is a lot, so she definitely doesn’t need a man or any sort of romance in her life. No way Jose! However a chance meeting from the past could change everything for Victoria, but there are a few problems. Sure Reed is gorgeous, hard working, funny and successful but Victoria definitely doesn’t want to be with a lawyer like her ex. There’s also the issue of how Reed was the best man at her and ex husband’s wedding years ago too.

Nevertheless Reed is persistent to try and date Victoria, much to her objections. She believes there are too many check marks in the con column of this budding relationship and isn’t too keen on starting over with someone, being still bitter about her divorce. But above everything, Reed might be exactly what she needs to being happy again. Can you be happy after a divorce with several responsibilities in the way? You’ll have to read Manic Monday to find out!

Reed and Victoria are probably going to be one of my top couples of 2018. Victoria is a hardworking, resilient, strong willed, funny mother who just wants to build a good life for her and her mother and daughter. She’s completely focused on them and creating a future for them which is great but it made me a bit sad that she was okay for that. Being successful, a good mom and daughter are great, but everyone deserves their own happiness. Fictional or not! That is where Reed comes in; he is such a GREAT leading guy! Oh my goodness, I seriously have heart eyes as I’m typing this right now! I adore him! He’s funny, kind, persistent (in a very good way!), hardworking, caring, smart, sexy! He really is a good match for Victoria and I love their banter between each other and their chemistry just sizzled right off the page as I read their wonderful story!

I loved Manic Monday so much! It will be one of my top reads of 2018 and I will certainly be on the lookout for future Piper Rayne releases!
