Release Date: June 30, 2020

 

SUMMARY

I knew the risks of this job when I signed on with Jameson Force Security. Knew my time as a marine would prepare me for the danger I would face. But no amount of training could have ever prepared me for the helplessness of watching my teammates die, the agonizing mental and physical pain of torture, or the despair of captivity. Returning home to Pittsburgh following a mission gone wrong, I am riddled with guilt and haunted by nightmares. I spend my days trying to regain the parts of myself I lost in that desert, the pieces that made me the Malik Fournier I once was.
While the physical effects of my torture are fading, the emotional ones are proving much more stubborn and I find solace from the last person I should ever seek such comfort. Anna Tate lost even more than I did in that mission. Now a widow and a single mom to the daughter she gave birth to shortly after her husband’s death, Anna offers me comfort I don’t deserve. As my feelings for Anna grow, I worry that once she learns the truth about what happened, she’ll turn her back on me. I pull her to me just as tightly as I push her away. Hoping this forbidden love will save me from the ghost I’ve become.

Cat's Review

CODE NAME: GHOST by Sawyer Bennett.  For fans of the Jameson Force Security Series, we have been waiting for this one.  Malik, a/k/a Ghost, is finally rescued and returns home.  He meets Anna, the widow of a peer that died on the same mission where he was captured.  This was an enjoyable read that flowed smoothly and effortlessly.  I truly liked both characters.  Anna is strong and independent and Malik is a bit on the quiet side, but a genuinely good guy.  Obviously, they both have issues due to that one mission and I loved that Ms. Bennett didn't hide the emotions between these two.  They had such an open and honest relationship from the start.  It was such a pleasant change from the often used, secret keeping of emotions between couples.  Being honest, I would have liked this book to last a bit more, maybe delve more extensively into both characters issues from that mission and how they learned to deal with the fallout.  While this is addressed, it seemed to go a bit quick and easy.  However, this is still a very enjoyable read with characters that were a breath of fresh air and not too much angst.   If you are a fan of this series, (if not, I suggest checking it out), I wouldn't miss this one!  (received ARC for honest review)

Author: Noelle Adams

Publishing date: June 26th, 2020

Genre: Contemporary romance

Trope: No strings attached

 

Summary

After the ending of a long-term relationship that brought her nothing but stress and tears, Madeline Jenkins is ready to have some fun. Do something wild. Spontaneous. Maybe a little risky. In other words, she wants to be nothing like her regular quiet self. Not forever. She likes herself. But she wants to try something new--just for a little while. What better way to have some fun than to fall into an ill-advised, no-strings-attached fling with a very hot man. True, Ken isn't an ideal rebound guy. He's the sheriff, he's ten years older than her, and she's known him for years. They have nothing in common except an intense attraction that seems to come out of nowhere. But that makes it easier. Ken is just her rebound. And no matter how good he makes her feel about herself, it's not like they'll ever want each other for real.

Enjoy an excerpt

“It’s been a couple of years since you divorced, hasn’t it? Haven’t you dated anyone since?” “Why do you ask that?” His eyebrows arched. “Oh.” Her cheeks were warming again. “Sorry. I just hadn’t heard about you dating anyone. I figured I would have…” She was embarrassed and didn’t really know why. “I haven’t dated anyone,” he admitted. “At first I just felt kind of… tired. Like the whole idea of dating was too exhausting. And then there just wasn’t anyone I was really excited about. The thing about Azalea is that, if you go on one date, you immediately get hit with this pressure to be serious. Because everyone knows about it. And it felt like it might be worse ’cause I’m the sheriff. So even thinking a girl is cute isn’t necessarily enough for me to want to… face all that.” “That makes perfect sense to me,” she replied with a smile, feeling strangely connected to him through the sheepish vulnerability in his expression. “So you never had your rebound?” “My rebound?” “You know. The throwaway relationship to help you get over a relationship and move on.” He gave a huff of dry amusement. “No. I never had a rebound.” “Me either.” He lifted up enough to look down on her. Cupping her cheek, he said with a warm texture to his voice, “I’ll be yours, baby, if you’ll be mine.” Her heart was hammering like crazy. Her cheeks were blazing. And a throbbing had awakened between her legs even though he’d done nothing but touch her cheek. “Really?” He leaned down so close to her now she could feel his breath against her skin. “If a rebound is what you want, then a rebound is what I’ll give you.” His eyes were hot, even in the shadowed light of the night.

SOMETHING ABOUT THAT BOY by Lani Lynn Vale ★★★★ AVAILABLE NOW!

BOOK INFORMATION

SOMETHIN’ ABOUT THAT BOY

By Lani Lynn Vale

Release Date: June 23

BOOK SUMMARY

Banner Spurlock knew the moment that he walked into Kilgore High School and saw Perry Street that life was about to get interesting.

Forced to move due to a problem at home, a problem in the form of his ex-best friend hating him for something that Banner’s father did, Banner doesn’t think very much could improve in his life.

He left his status as king of Benton High School behind and moved to a new school where not only would he have to try out for a new football team and prove himself, but he’d also have to find a place for himself in the hierarchy.

Only, the moment that he arrives, he knows that finding a place for himself won’t be too hard. Especially when his reputation follows him all the way to Kilgore, Texas.

***

Perry Street hates school. She hates her peers—most of them anyway—and she hates her classes. All she wants to do is finish her senior year, graduate, and find a place that will give her a full scholarship so that she doesn’t have to be stuck here forever.

That’s her goal, anyway.

Then she walks into first period, on her first day of her senior year, and sits down. Seconds later, he walks in and changes every single plan she’s ever made.

It isn’t long before Perry starts to fall for the bad boy who doesn’t care who he does and doesn’t impress. The boy makes her heart flutter. The boy makes her want things that she’s never wanted before. Not ever.

The boy brings trouble with him that nearly kills her.

CAT'S REVIEW

SOMETHING ABOUT THAT BOY by Lani Lynn Vale.  This was an enjoyable and entertaining read.  It tells the tale of Banner Spurlock and Perry Street.  This is a YA story that takes place in high school.  Now, this is not my usual forte as I am well beyond high school, but this author, I felt, did it justice and certainly grabbed my interest and held it.  I truly cared for Banner and Perry - they both showed maturity, yet, there youthful ways and feelings surfaced too.  There is a little drama in this tale, circling around Banner's previous school and the reason he left, in the form a of a young man - Vance.  Vance follows him to the new school and tries, once again, to create havoc for Banner, and by association, Perry.  Now, I like when there is a bit of drama but I did feel a bit let down at the ease at which this drama was settled.  And that nothing came of some events involving Vance did bother me a bit.  But, this did not deter from the heart of this story - Banner and Perry.  I believed in them - their love and their faith in each other.  Ms. Vale even brought tears to my eyes once or twice, and that for me makes this a winner.  While this is a standalone (although characters from previous books do make appearances), I hope that Ms. Vale has plans for the other characters in this book too.   (received ARC for honest review)

A LITTLE BIT WICKED by Melissa Foster ★★★★★ AVAILABLE NOW!

BOOK INFORMATION

A LITTLE BIT WICKED

The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside

Melissa Foster

Releasing June 17, 2020

World Literary Press

BOOK SUMMARY

Set on the sandy shores of Cape Cod, the Wickeds feature fiercely protective heroes, strong heroines, and unbreakable family bonds. If you think bikers are all the same, you haven’t met the Dark Knights. The Dark Knights are a motorcycle club, not a gang. Their members stick together like family and will stop at nothing to keep their communities safe. Their stories are told in the same loving, passionate voice readers have come to adore in Melissa’s other series. Some of the Wickeds’ love stories will be hilariously fun and deeply emotional, others will tear at your heartstrings and include injections of humor, but they will all leave you wishing you could climb between the pages and join them!

When the Dark Knights at Bayside and the cast of Bayside Summers collide, sparks fly, and trouble—or maybe love—is not far behind.

What do a cocky biker and a businesswoman who has sworn off dating bad boys have in common? According to Chloe Mallery, not much.

Justin came into the Wicked family after a harsh upbringing by a thieving father. He’s gone through a lot to become a true Wicked, and he’s made them proud. Now he’s ready to show the woman he loves exactly what type of man he is. But Chloe has worked hard to move past her difficult upbringing, and she’s wary of getting involved with a man who looks like he’s walked right out of it. When tragedy strikes, will their trying pasts draw them together, or will Justin’s protective nature be too much for Chloe’s independent heart to accept?

CAT'S REVIEW

A LITTLE BIT WICKED by Melissa Foster.   Ooh-La-La!  Ms. Foster has stolen my heart with this one.  I adore Justin!  He is uber sexy, down to earth - what you see is what you get with him.  He is protective and loving and simply scrumptious!   Chloe, well, she is a bit more closed off, with good reason.  It did take a little bit more time for me to warm up to her, but, as the story progressed and I learned more about her, I came to love her too.  And the two of them together are delightful  Ms. Foster has such a knack for creating tales that encompass so many emotions, and this one was no different.  There is happiness, sadness, laughter and tears with a little drama thrown in too.  I am so excited for this new series and  A LITTLE BIT WICKED has certainly kicked it off right.  (received ARC from author for honest review)

ABOUT THE BOOK

Broken Dawn

Book #10 Immortal Guardians
By Dianne Duvall
June 16, 2020

Delve into an exciting new stand-alone novel in New York Times bestselling author Dianne Duvall's "fast-paced and humorous" (Publishers Weekly), "utterly addictive" (RT Book Reviews) Immortal Guardians series.

Nick Belanger can't stop thinking about the single mother who lives next door. She's smart. She's funny. She's so beautiful he can't stare at her too long for fear his eyes will start to glow. But Kayla thinks he's just an ordinary guy who works in security. Finding out he instead is a powerful immortal warrior who hunts and slays psychotic vampires for a living may not go over well, particularly since she has a daughter she doesn't want to endanger.

Kayla Dorman can keep neither her gaze nor her thoughts from straying to the man next door. Who can blame her really? He is the epitome of tall, dark, and handsome with smart, charming, and honorable thrown in. He's also a few years younger than her and surely would not be interested in a single mom who hasn't dated since her divorce. At least that's what she thinks until an accident nearly takes her life and Nick risks all to save her.

The dynamics of their relationship swiftly change. The friendship they've developed over the years deepens into love as the two spend every minute they can together, laughing and teasing, never suspecting a threat may lurk in the shadows. But that threat soon strikes, making it clear that Nick is the target and his enemy doesn't care if Kayla gets caught in the cross fire. Though Kayla bravely rises to the occasion and is determined to do whatever it takes to help Nick defeat his enemy, Nick is terrified of losing her. Can he identify and eliminate his new nemesis before the man takes everything from him?

Author: Alana Albertson

Genre: Military Romance

Publishing date: January 23rd, 2018

Summary

I DON’T RECOGNIZE THE DAMAGED woman in the mirror staring back at me—platinum-blond hair, blood-red lips and nails, curves laced up in the finest lingerie. I have transformed into a bombshell to exonerate my brother, United States Navy SEAL Joaquín Cruz. He’s been languishing in a jail cell for the past six months, accused of a murder he didn’t commit, his honorable career as a SEAL ruined, his spirit crushed.

I’ve gone undercover as a stripper to entertain the men of SEAL Team Seven—I’ve given up my acting career, my dreams, my home—everything to free Joaquín and discover the truth.

But I didn’t count on having to conceal my identity from my ex-boyfriend, Navy SEAL Grant Carrion. The man I lost my virginity to was caught up in an endless web of sins and temptations, unable to escape from his demons.

As I strip down to my lingerie and dance for Grant, I know that every humiliating moment will be worth my sacrifice—if only I can give my brother back his life. And just maybe, find a way back to Grant’s heart.

Se7en Deadly SEALs is a heart pounding thriller with dirty SEALs, steamy sex, and shocking twists. It is 626 pages, 120,000 words stand alone book with a HEA and no cliffhanger.

Enjoy a fragment

“What is it you do for living?”

“I sell pharmaceuticals.” His nose didn’t even twitch; he’d become an expert at hiding his lies. Though this fib didn’t bother me. SEALs never told civilians what they did for a living. Joaquín told everyone he met that he drove an ice cream truck. That guy you met in a bar boasting about being a SEAL? He was a liar.

“Let’s get out of here. I want to take you somewhere.” He signaled to the waitress and paid the bill in cash.

We slid onto the back of his bike, and I placed my arms around him. I wanted to vanish into this moment, go back to the way we were when we had first fallen in love. Before he deployed that first time. Before I’d done something stupid. Before I didn’t have the guts to confide in him.

Grant headed down to the pier, in front of the USS Midway, a retired Naval carrier turned maritime museum. The millions of lights from the ship illuminated the ocean, as the view of Coronado’s Hotel Del beckoned in the distance. Grant might be lying to his date about his job, but he was also sharing his love of the Navy. Maybe he didn’t see Ksenya as just a conquest.

We stood under the world-famous Unconditional Surrender statue, which portrayed a sailor kissing a nurse at the end of World War II.

Grant took me into his arms, and I was sure he was going to kiss me under the moonlight. “You’re so incredibly hot. Let’s go to a hotel.”

“Nyet.”

“Come on, babe. We’ll have a great time. If you feel uncomfortable, I’ll take you home. I just want to spend some time with you.”

My first instinct was to slap him. But my panties became damp as I imagined what this new Grant would do to me. Which way should I go—sweet, shy, good girl forced into stripping? Or nasty, freaky, bad girl who owned her sexuality?

I had vowed when this deception started—hell, when this date started—to never sleep with him again, fearful that he would discover my identity. Now I decided I wasn’t going to make any rules. I’d fooled him so far—maybe I could fool him in bed as well. I’d spent every night for the past two and a half years imagining making love to him. As Mia, I’d been the girl next door, a young inexperienced virgin, petrified to ask him to act out my deepest fantasies. But I had always harbored a secret desire to play the temptress.

If Grant wanted to party, I’d be ecstatic to rock his world. This time, I wouldn’t hold back. I couldn’t. Ksenya would have to be a wildcat in bed for me to pull off this deception.

Sleeping with Grant might be the only way to truly have him let down his guard and open up to me. But this time, sex would be on my terms, on my timeline—and for once in my life, I’d be in control.
