CODE NAME: ROOK by Sawyer Bennett ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’– AVAILABLE NOW!





Code Name: Rook (Jameson Force Security, Book #6) Sawyer Bennett Release Date: October 27, 2020





Being a highly skilled operative for a company like Jameson Force Security is exhilarating and important work…until it comes time to date. I like to keep my profession under wraps for a number of reasons. Some of what we do is top secret, most of what we do is dangerous, and more than one woman has tried to latch onto me because she was more enamored with what I do than who Cage Murdock really is. And since I’m more of a ‘here for the night’ than a ‘here for forever’ kind of guy, what’s the harm in a little white lie about my job? My harmless deceit has never failed me. Until now. Because I met the most amazing woman and did the unthinkable. I married her. And now my beautiful, unsuspecting, probably-going-to-leave-my-sorry-behind-when-she-finds-out-the-truth wife doesn’t know that I’m not a used car salesman like I told her when we met. As it typically does with lies, the truth is about to come out in a big way when Jaime unwittingly gets herself mixed up with some unsavory characters and I, along with the team at Jameson, have to intervene. Now I need to save my girl and hope I can save my marriage too. Let’s just say I have some serious explaining to do.

 Cat's Review

CODE NAME: ROOK by Sawyer Bennett.  LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!  I am so in love with Rook and this book - Jaime is awesome! Cage is a dreamboat!  What more could you ask for?  Both characters were great and perfect for each other.   Ms. Bennett, of course, doesn't make it that easy on them so she throws in a little lie and a little suspense and danger, and it is the perfect combination.  I couldn't read this one fast enough, yet didn't want it to end.   I smiled, I cringed, I cheered and I yelled - to me, the best reactions when reading a book.   I have enjoyed this entire series and have liked each Hero so much, but Cage (Rook) has stolen my heart!  (received an ARC for honest review)

CAT'S REVIEW

BRANDON by Melody Anne.  This tale encompasses what is truly important in life - family and friends.  That is the main theme and, for Brandon and Chloe, they understand the importance.  I liked both characters - Chloe, independent yet a bit vulnerable, is sweet and dedicated.  Brandon, both sexy and sweet, still feels a bit uncertainty when it comes to his new financial situation.  I adored Joseph - the patriarch of the family and a meddling one at that.   Ms. Anne writes fluidly and is able to inject enough back story from previous books without it overtaking the story.  I have not read the previous books yet was able to follow along and never felt lost.  Ono that note, I plan to check the earlier ones out as I did enjoy this book.  (received ARC for honest review)

BOOK BLURB 

  Growing up, Jude McCallister was the bane of my existence. My best friend. Fiercest ally. The most annoying boy in the world. At eighteen, the boy I loved to hate became the man I couldn’t live without.   We were young. Madly in love. Invincible. Strong enough to weather any storm. Cocky enough to believe that no amount of time or distance could destroy us.   When Jude finally returned home from overseas, it should have been cause for celebration. But the man I’d fallen in love with was gone, and in his place was someone I no longer recognized.   ๐ผ ๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘›’๐‘ก ๐‘‘๐‘œ ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘–๐‘ , ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’ ๐‘›๐‘œ๐‘ก๐‘’ ๐‘ ๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘‘. ๐ผ’๐‘š ๐‘ ๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ๐‘Ÿ๐‘ฆ.   Now, after six long years he’s back.

Divorce.

Single-dad life.

His work life is as full of surprises as his home life.

But nothing prepared him for her.

Saying yes to the favor asked of the Cerberus MC was a no brainer.

He’s a good guy helping other good guys.

How hard would it be to allow Sophia, Dominic Anderson’s daughter, to shadow him for a few months to complete a college credit and keep things professional?

The short answer…

Impossible.

Especially when his job puts her in danger.

CAT'S REVIEW

COLTON by Marie James.   Whew!  This was one sexy read!  Ms. James throws together a great read that has lust, love, a bit of tension, some lighter moments as well as some suspense and danger.  Colton tries his hardest to ignore the chemistry between him and Sophia and Sophia wants to explore.  Ms. James keeps us readers a bit on edge as to whether they will or won't!  This was a fairly quick read but quite enjoyable.  There is an age gap between the two, and although that is not always my favorite, Ms. James wrote it in such a way that it didn't bother me at all.  This is book 14 of this series, and I have not read the previous ones.  I was able to follow along without a problem, although I think that if I had read them, it would have added just a little more depth to this one.  On that same note, after reading COLTON, I plan to explore the entire series!  (received ARC for honest review)

HAPPILY LETTER AFTER by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward EXCERPT REVEAL!

 




Title: Happily Letter After
Authors: Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward
Publisher: Montlake
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: October 20, 2020



BLURB

From New York Times bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward comes a love story about taking chances and the surprises that come with them. 

My love story all started with a letter. 

Only it wasn’t from the man I’d eventually fall in love with. It was from his daughter. A sweet little girl named Birdie Maxwell who’d written to the magazine that I worked for. 

You see, once a year my employer fulfilled a few wishes for readers. Only that column didn’t start up again for months. 

So I fulfilled some of her wishes myself. It was harmless…so I thought. Until one day I took things too far. 

While anonymously granting yet another of Birdie’s wishes, I got a look at her father. Her devastatingly handsome, single dad father. 

I should have stopped playing fairy godmother then. I should have left well enough alone. But I just couldn’t help myself. I had a connection to this girl. One that had me acting irrationally. 

Like when I showed up on their doorstep.

EXCERPT

Copyright © 2019 by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward 

“I cannot believe we are doing this.” Devin and I took the C train to Columbus Circle and stopped at Starbucks before walking over to the carousel. My partner in crime came dressed for surveillance, wearing head-to-toe black, dark sun- glasses, and a wool cap . . . in July. We were lucky it was New York or she might look like the weirdo she is. I, on the other hand, had on jeans and an Aerosmith T-shirt. Because . . . you know . . . Steven Tyler and those lips. I didn’t even care he was probably pushing seventy. I’d still suck on those babies. 
We took a seat on a bench located to the right of the carousel—not directly in front of it but where we could still see everyone who walked in and out. As we got into position, I started to feel really bad about what we were about to do—invade little Birdie’s privacy. 
“Maybe we shouldn’t do this.” 
Devin put her hand on my shoulder and applied pressure—just in case I tried to get up. “We’re doing this. Don’t even try to make a run for it.” 
I slouched back onto the bench. “Fine.” 
We sat for the better part of an hour, sipping coffee, gossiping about work, and looking around for a little girl and her dad. When I caught the time on my phone, I said, “It’s after eleven. I don’t think they’re coming.” 
“Let’s give it until eleven thirty.” 
I rolled my eyes. But screw it, we were in this far—I might as well go along with the rest of the ride. Otherwise, Devin would never let me hear the end of it. At eleven thirty on the dot, I stood. “Let’s go, Lacey.” 
“Who?” 
Cagney & Lacey. It was a show my mom used to watch when I was little. It had two women detectives.” 
“Well, which one was hotter? Maybe I don’t want to be Lacey.” 
I laughed. “You can be whichever one you want to be.” 
I turned to throw out my coffee cup in the basket next to the bench and was just about to start to leave when I spotted a little girl and a man who had just turned into the entrance of the park. They were pretty far off, but I thought it could be Birdie. “Oh my God. Sit! Sit! I think that’s them.” 
The two of us planted our asses back on the bench at the same exact time. Devin leaned forward and squinted. “Are you sure?” 
I grabbed her arm and pulled her to sit back. “Don’t be so obvious.” 
We watched, while completely failing at looking casual, as the man and the little girl moved closer. The man was tall, broad-shouldered, and had on a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. He was holding the hand of the little girl. And she had on . . . a bodysuit and tutu. It was definitely Birdie! 
“Oh my God. It’s them!” 
Neither of us said a word as the father and daughter approached the carousel. When they got close enough so I could finally see their faces, I gasped. “Oh my God. He’s . . .” 
Devin grabbed my hand. “I call dibs. I want to have his babies.” 
I couldn’t believe my eyes. While I was expecting a modern version of my dad twenty years ago, the man standing before me was anything but. For the record, my dad is awesome, and he’s not too shabby-looking. But this man . . . was . . . drop. Dead. Gorgeous. Wow. Just . . . yeah. Wow. 
Sebastian Maxwell had dark hair, bone structure to die for, and full, beautiful lips. I’d joked how Devin thought the guy was a super- model, but this man could actually be a supermodel. He had that longish, messy hair—the kind that he could drag a hand through, and it would look like he’d been both thoroughly fucked and just finished a photo shoot. Yeah, that was him. I was absolutely, positively speechless.

Release Date: October 13, 2020



 

About the Book


Going from a professional baseball player to a SWAT officer should’ve been seamless. Should have been.

 

But it wasn’t.

 

All it took was one single calendar shoot for word to spread that Nathan Cox was not only no longer playing professional baseball, but he was also the man behind saving the life of Reggie Morton, the City of Kilgore’s princess.

 

***

 

Reggie didn’t know that by agreeing to provide the expertise and the know-how for the Police Officer’s Ball that she would be required to actually attend the function.

 

What she also didn’t expect was needing to be saved—again—by the same man that had saved her life a year ago when she hosted her debut event.

 

This time in a not-nearly-as-spectacular way. The moment she falls into his arms like a modern-day Cinderella and takes him in in all his three-piece suited glory, she realizes that she’s been fighting the impossible.

 

Nathan Cox owns her. Body and soul.

CAT'S REVIEW


OFFICIALLY OVER IT by Lani Lynn Vale.  I enjoyed this one - I liked Nathan and I liked Reggie - although they did seem quite the opposites.  Despite their fighting their attraction forever, they were always there for each other.  There is even a crazy ex and some crazy happenings in between these two finding out if they were meant to be.  Keeps the reader on their toes.  For me, it wasn't quite clear why these two kept some secrets but, in the end, it didn't matter really.  As per Ms. Vale's style, there is a love story, lots of family and friends, and some crazy situations that arise.  Ms. Vale certainly knows how to keep the reader entertained and invested throughout a story and this one is no different.  (received ARC for honest review)

CAT'S REVIEW

ONCE UPON A KISS by Carina Rose.  What a truly romantic tale!  This is a sweet romance that had me swooning.  I adored both Lacey and Drew - they were incredible together.  Ms. Rose does a phenomenal job of making the reader feel throughout the entire story.  Everything about this tale was easy to read and fun to follow.  Lacey is a strong and independent woman, although, to be honest, once or twice I did feel the need to shake her a bit!  But, she comes around.  She meets Drew, who is pretty much the epitome of drool worthy.  Their chemistry was off the charts and the story was just a joy to read.   (received ARC for honest review)
