Release Blitz & Review: The Evolution Of Man by Skye Warren

September 25, 2018September 24, 2018 amorettesreviewsLeave a comment

TheEvolutionOfMan-1600x2400
The Cover: I think the cover for The Evolution of Man is elegant and is spot on for what the book is. However since the cover for Survival of the Richest focused on Harper it would’ve been nice if the second cover for the duet focused on the men. It does in a way but not the way I imagined it to be? It’s still pretty though!

Basics: The Evolution of Man was released on September 24th 2018 and is 260 pages long. Genre wise The Evolution of Man belongs to contemporary romance, new adult and love triangle.

Description: I never wanted to fall for man. And definitely not two men.

They tear me apart until I don’t know how I’ll ever be whole again. Until I’m not sure I want to be. How can I choose between two halves of myself?

Overall thoughts: I want to start off by saying I love and adore Skye Warren. I think she is one of the best and move creative romance writers out there; however that being said…I did not like The Evolution of Man and I am so bummed out about it! The first part of the book I was really into and couldn’t put down, but then something just happened and things changed.

I just didn’t like how the story went honestly! I thought it was rushed and a bit messy in places. The characters were great, their chemistry was on point but just the way the story was going….I was honestly sitting here reading it and I just felt so confused! I really don’t know how to explain it! Maybe it was because Survival of the Richest was 354 pages long and The Evolution of Man was only 260 pages long? I don’t know but I finished the book and just felt SO disappointed and confused! Plus the ending was rushed and really didn’t explain everything. I know that there will be a bonus epilogue Skye said she plans on releasing so maybe that will clear things up?

I didn’t like The Evolution of Man, it had great qualities but overall it was just disappointing to me. THAT BEING SAID, I love Skye Warren and will continue to read and review her books. I also think you should still grab The Trust Fund duet because just because I didn’t like it, doesn’t me that you won’t! And I loved Survival of the Richest! I just didn’t like the second one in this duet, but again I still think you should read it!

Release Blitz & Excerpt: Strong by Kylie Scott

September 25, 2018September 24, 2018 amorettesreviewsLeave a comment

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kylie Scott comes a new story in her Stage Dive series…
14_1001_2018_Kylie Scott_300dpi.jpg
Blurb: When the girl of your dreams is kind of a nightmare.

As head of security to Stage Dive, one of the biggest rock bands in the world, Sam Knowles has plenty of experience dealing with trouble. But spoilt brat Martha Nicholson just might be the worst thing he’s ever encountered. The beautiful troublemaker claims to have reformed, but Sam knows better than to think with what’s in his pants. Unfortunately, it’s not so easy to make his heart fall into line.

Martha’s had her sights on the seriously built bodyguard for years. Quiet and conservative, he’s not even remotely her type. So why the hell can’t she get him out of her mind? There’s more to her than the Louboutin wearing party-girl of previous years, however. Maybe it’s time to let him in on that fact and deal with this thing between them.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Excerpt: “I don’t believe this,” I bitched. “My Valentino boots are actually sticking to the floor. That’s how gross this place is.”

Lizzy just smiled. “Told you to dress casual.”

“I am.”

The smile widened.

“Jeans and a tee is casual.”

“A tee? It’s velvet, Martha.” She held a bottle of beer up to her lips, taking a sip. “I said we were going to a dive bar. You have only yourself to blame for the fashion faux pas.”

“But velvet is in!”

“Would you two quit talking? I’m trying to listen,” said my brother, Ben. The big hairy idiot was slouched back in his chair, bopping his head in time to the music.

Lizzy shuffled closer all conspiratorial-like. “I know why you’re all dressed up.”

I said nothing. There was nothing to be said.

Next her gaze went to the man standing at the end of the bar across from us. No, no, I would not turn my head. I would not fall prey to her bullshit. After all, I’d managed to successfully avoid him for the forty-eight or so hours since my not so triumphant surprise return to the West Coast. Even with us both being in the same house. A very big sprawling house, but still.

On the other hand, it should probably be mentioned that he looked awfully good tonight in jeans and a white T-shirt with a leather jacket. Samuel Rhodes, otherwise known as Sam. Not a pretty man with his harsh features and bull-like neck, but something about him appealed to me. As always, his head was shaved and his body was built and my idiot fingers itched to explore.

Okay. So I guess at some point I must have turned my head. And shit, he caught me looking.

The corner of his lips rose just a little, just enough to mess with me, before he returned to doing his job by casually surveying the packed room. My heart did not speed up due to anything done by him. Clearly, I hadn’t totally caught my breath from when we’d walked in half an hour ago or something. That was all. Interesting to note, he did none of the checking me out typical of a heterosexual male who might have been into me. In fact, he didn’t really give me any signals at all. Ever.

Release Blitz & Review: A Nordic King by Karina Halle

September 21, 2018 amorettesreviewsLeave a comment

A Nordic King AMAZON (1).jpg
The Cover: I love this cover. The male model is EXACTLY how I picture Aksel to look like and the model’s eyes definitely giving you a king/royal vibe. I want this book on my bookshelf ASAP.

Basics: A Nordic King was released on September 21st 2018, is 376 pages long and is part of the Kindle Unlimited program. Genre wise A Nordic King belongs to romance, contemporary romance, new adult and royal romance.

Description: When I first applied for the job I thought it would be like all the others: working as a nanny for an aristocratic family.

Then I got the job and found out how wrong I was. Now I’m the new nanny for two adorable little girls who happen to be princesses. Their father is the widowed King of Denmark. And my new home? The royal palace in Copenhagen.

Adjusting to my new life isn’t easy but the hardest part hasn’t been the girls who still grieve over the loss of their mother.

It’s their father. Cold, mysterious and moody, with an icy stare that seems to penetrate your soul, King Aksel may have hired me to take care of his daughters but he wants as little to do with me as possible.

Yet the longer I share these palace walls with this man, the more that I’m drawn to him. His chiseled face and sexual swagger are only part of the package. It’s in the long, intense glances at the dinner table, the way we’ll brush up against each other in the halls, the rare glimpses of the man deep inside, like the sun passing through clouds.

But no matter how I feel about him, we can never be together. You think it’s bad enough being in love with your boss? Try falling in love with a king.
A Nordic King.jpg Overall thoughts: Karina Halle is an amazing writer and storyteller and A Nordic King is some of her best work yet. From the moment I read the first page I was memorized with the way she talked about love and I was hooked and couldn’t put the book down. There were moments in the beginning where I wasn’t sure if I was going to continue liking the direction A Nordic King was going, but I am seriously head over heels for this book!

After King Aksel suffers a horrible tragedy, he is trying to figure out how to live his life, father his two young daughters, run his country and deal with the death of his Queen. Enter Aurora, the bright, sassy, fun loving nanny; the goddess (the nickname the two young princesses give her) just wants to do the best she can, help the young princesses be happy again and overall just be successful.

She wasn’t expecting to feel attracted to the grumpy King and Aksel certainly didn’t want to fall for the nanny of his children but that’s exactly what happens. The chemistry that builds between Aurora and Aksel is both frustrating and wonderful. Dislike turns into like, like turns into respect, respect turns into attraction and attraction turns into love. But a nanny and a King of a country falling for one another and trying to make it into a relationship? Of course there are roadblocks in the way.

A Nordic King was a wonderful contemporary, royal romance read and it will definitely be on my list for the top reads of 2018. I loved this book, the story, the characters, the love that is so well written throughout it all…definitely highly recommended read!

Couple Chemistry Rating: 5/5 Shells

Favorite Quotes: “There is no one way to fall in love. It may scar you, make its mark, but that fall, that impact, is different for everyone.” -Aksel

“Bloody hell. I think I’m in love with my boss. A king.” -Aurora

“You love me. You love me. I am home.” -Aksel

Cover Reveal: I Bet You by Ilsa Madden-Mills

September 19, 2018September 18, 2018 amorettesreviewsLeave a comment

Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills returns with an all-new swoon-fest of a novel about what happens when you look beyond labels and take a chance on love.
I-Bet-You-AmazonREAL FINAL (1).jpg
Blurb: Sexy Athlete: I bet you…
Penelope Graham: Burn in hell, quarterback.

The late night text is random but Penelope knows exactly who “Sexy Athlete” is. And why she shouldn’t take his wager.

Ryker Voss. Football star. Walks on water and God’s gift to women. Just ask him.

His bet? He promises Penelope he’ll win her the heart of the nerdy guy she’s been crushing on. His plan—good old-fashioned jealousy. Once her crush sees her kissing Ryker, he’ll realize what he’s missing. Sounds legit, right? The only question is…why is Ryker being so nice to her?

Penelope Graham. Virgin. Lover of sparkly vampires and calculus. His mortal enemy.

Penelope knows she shouldn’t trust a jock, but what’s a girl to do when she needs a date to Homecoming? And Ryker’s keeping a secret, another bet, one that could destroy Penelope’s heart forever. Will the quarterback score the good girl or will his secret mean everyone loses at this game of love?

Review: Muse by Katy Evans

September 14, 2018September 9, 2018 amorettesreviewsLeave a comment

Muse_Amazon
The Cover: I was so sure about Muse’s cover at first but after reading the book it embodies Noah perfectly and I love it!

Basics: Muse was released on September 14th 2018 and is 221 pages long. Genre wise it belongs to standalone, romance, complementary romance.

Description: It was supposed to just be a quick trip to Manhattan.
My best friend was heartbroken. She needed support, and I needed inspiration.
I hoped to love the city. Bustling. Crazy. Inspiring New York.

But I ended up at the airport, heading home in the same condition that I arrived. In a rut. Add to all that, missing my flight and losing my laptop—the laptop, where the Best Love Story Ever sat on my hard drive.

Enter Noah Steele. Eerily familiar. Movie star. Heartthrob. Sultry romeo with bedroom eyes. (But we’re not going there.) He missed his flight too. Noah is so smoldering, lip-bitingly hot, he’s not taken seriously as an actor, and is struggling to launch his career in New York.

He’s only ever had superficial girlfriends, so he’s having trouble showing true passion in his acting—the same challenge I’m having with this book. When we met, we didn’t know that our connection would bring us the change we’d been craving.

That we’d be the very thing the other needed and didn’t know. Each other’s muse.

*This book is a complete standalone and no previous reading is necessary to enjoy.*

Overall thoughts: Katy Evans does it again! Muse was everything I wanted and more! Great funny and relatable characters, swoon worthy romance and overall a very loving and heartwarming story. Becka is an aspiring romance author currently trying to dish out her latest book, unfortunately her muse doesn’t seem to want to cooperate. New York City isn’t what she thought it would be and she’s ready to go back home, that is until she loses her laptop which holds all of her writing. Did I mention she loses her laptop at an airport?!

Noah is an actor who is trying to catch his big break but is struggling. When he misses his flight and sees Becka having a panic attack after losing her laptop, he thinks he’s found the perfect distraction from the frustrations of his acting career. And the rest? I’ll let you get Muse and figure out on your own because it is magical! I know for some readers it is annoying and unrealistic when couples hit it off right away but for me I find it beautifully romantic. Becka and Noah fall for each other this way and I just love them! They are definitely my new favorite couple and I know that I won’t be getting over them any time soon!

Muse is one of the best romance reads of the year! It is fast paced, laugh out loud funny and filled with steamy toe curling romantic goodness! A must read and another classic to add to your romance book collection!

Review: My Best Friend’s Ex by Meghan Quinn

August 23, 2018August 27, 2018 amorettesreviewsLeave a comment

The Cover: I love how the cover model is looking at the reader with smolder eyes, it’s very mesmerizing.

Basics: My Best Friend’s Ex was released on June 1st 2017 and is 407 pages long. Genre wise My Best Friend’s Ex belongs to contemporary romance, romance, family and drama.

Description: When I found an eviction notice taped on my apartment door, I had two options: find a comfortable cardboard box to call home, or move in with Tucker Jameson.

Seeing that cardboard makes me feel itchy, I chose the latter. Which shouldn’t be that big of a deal since Tucker is one of my good friends. And because he’s still pining after his ex-girlfriend and I’m trying to finish my nursing degree, there is nothing to worry about in the romance department, making my last semester an easy one to conquer.

Boy, was I wrong. Rules are set, dinners are made, conversations are had, and a shirtless, swoony roommate walks around in nothing but a pair of black briefs, ruining me for every other man.

Before I know it, I turn into a panting, lust-filled woman begging for Tucker to kiss me, touch me, and show me exactly what is hiding under those briefs. But with great orgasms, comes great consequences.

Tucker might be my friend and roommate but he’s also my best friend’s ex-boyfriend, making him completely off-limits. At least that’s what my brain is telling me, my heart is speaking an entirely different language.

Overall thoughts: I LOVED My Best Friend’s Ex! It is now my favorite book of Meghan Quinn’s and I seriously want Tucker and Emma’s relationship to last forever. This book was steamy, had the perfect amount of humor and sexual tension. But most of all, My Best Friend’s Ex focuses on real life issues and Meghan Quinn has a gift for writing such heart wrenching, wonderful, contemporary romances. She sucks you in the the main couple bickering one chapter and the next chapter you’ll be hugging onto your kindle and crying. Which for me is great but I read to escape the daily stresses of everyday life but at the same time…sometimes you just need to feel things and cry! And Meghan Quinn is my go to author for this because she makes me cry and feel good because everything truly does work out one way or another. My Best Friend’s Ex is in the running to be one of my favorite and best reads of 2017. Highly recommend!

Favorite Quotes: “Is this new a rule? Must meet roommate at door?” Yes because you came home to me. -Emma & Tucker

Our souls connect in this moment. It’s as though we’re making a silent vow to one another that our friendship will never be the same, but what resides in our near future has the promise of parallel serendipity beyond anything we’ve ever experienced. -Tucker

Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.

Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

Excerpt: The room wasn’t overly large, and it was—seemingly—empty. It also wasn’t terribly well lit, with a low fire burning in the grate and a pair of sconces flickering on the wall on either side of the fireplace.

She was either beneath the desk or behind the curtain. He couldn’t see the underside of the desk from the door. It wasn’t a pedestal as Lord Evenrude’s had been.

Circling around, he saw no one hiding there. That left the draperies on the window. He moved to the far wall and instantly noted the slight lump behind the blue damask. Moving forward, he reached for the fabric but hesitated before he pushed it aside. What if it wasn’t her?

The fabric moved, and she bared her face. “You found me.” Her dark gaze registered surprise. “Oh, it’s you!”

“It’s me.”

“Are you still looking for a place to hide?”

“I am.”

She reached for his lapel and held the drapery wide, pulling him into the darkness beside her. “He’ll be done counting shortly. If he isn’t already.”

“I should probably hide somewhere else,” he said, though he was loath to move. Ensconced in the dark with Lavinia, he was acutely aware of her heat and the intoxicating scent of lilies and honeysuckle.

“Yes, I suppose you should.” She turned toward him, and they were so close, her breasts brushed against his chest. “Sorry,” she murmured.

God, he wasn’t. He was only sorry he had to leave.

“Before you go, I wanted to thank you again for the fossils.” She whispered, her breath tickling his neck as she spoke. “I can’t stop looking at them. They’re absolutely extraordinary. I hope I have reason to visit Devon one day so I can hunt for my own.”

“I hope you do too. Consider yourself welcome at Waverly Court any time.”

“That’s very kind of you.”

He heard the smile in her voice and resisted the urge to run his fingers over her mouth so he could feel the curve of her lips. He really should go—

But first, he wanted to ask her something. “Do you know the Duchess of Kendal?”

“Yes, but not well. Fanny’s sister is a good friend of hers. Why?”

Why indeed. Beck wanted to enlist Lavinia’s help to see if the Duchess might be able to help him learn who SW and DC might be. However, if the Duchess had been part of a scandal, she might prefer to leave those memories in the past. Furthermore, he wasn’t sure he should include Lavinia in any of this.

And yet, he found he simply couldn’t resist. “Do you know what happened with the Duchess when she was out in Society—maybe sixteen years ago? The Duke mentioned something, and I was curious. Because my sister was out at the same time.” He added the last because he felt he had to share a reason for his inquiry. Still, he hated bringing Helen up since he didn’t want to answer too many questions about her, particularly regarding her fate.

“She was compromised. A gentleman—I can’t remember who—wooed her. They were caught kissing, and he refused to marry her. She was ruined. It was horrible because it wasn’t even her fault. It’s so unfair. Men can kiss whomever they want, and women are blamed for any indiscretion.”

“The key is to not get caught. It sounds as though this gentleman was rather inept.”

“Are you saying it was his fault?” She sounded surprised. “Most would argue they were at least both to blame.”

“Certainly she retains some culpability, but a decent gentleman would ensure they could kiss and not get caught.”

“And how would they do that?” Something in her tone changed. Her voice lowered, and it felt as though she’d moved just a hair closer.

If he leaned just a tiny bit forward, he was sure he’d feel her breasts again. God, how he wanted to. “They might hide themselves behind a drapery in the library.”

“During hide-and-seek?”

Beck’s cock lengthened and grew stiff as the air around them heated. “Probably not. In that case, someone is actually looking to find them.”

“And yet here we are.” Her voice had changed again, going nearly breathless.

“Yes, here we are.”

“Are you going to, then?” she asked, her breasts grazing his chest as she edged herself against him. “Kiss me.”

“By God, I think I am.”

“Oh, good.”
