REPEAT OFFENDER by Lani Lynn Vale --- COVER REVEAL!!



BOOK INFORMATION


Repeat Offender

Souls Chapel Revenants MC Book 1

Lani Lynn Vale

Release Date: January 12, 2021

 



BOOK SUMMARY



Lynnwood Thatcher Windsor has lived a lot of lies. Seen a lot of good men go down.

 

But he will not stand by and watch as the world he’s built from the ground up burns to ashes before his eyes. Even if he has to build an army to combat the problem he sees brewing around him.

 

One step at a time, he carefully lays out his plan, building layer after careful layer until everything is where he wants it to be.

 

Every part is impeccably played, his pawns are in the perfect place, and then she barrels into his life, totally scattering every single piece he’s set in motion.

 

The bad thing is, she doesn’t even realize how badly she’s messed up until she’s roused the beast.

 

***

 

The day that Six Ines Broussard met Lynnwood Thatcher Windsor was the worst day of her life.

 

First, she has a public breakup with a man she’s not even dating. Second, she has to deal with a black-tie event that she’d rather gouge her eyes out than to go to. Third, she then has to sit at a table for hours on end with the one man she despises.

 

Just wanting a break, she thinks she’ll lose herself for a few hours and do what she loves to do best—spend time by herself and go for a walk in the middle of nowhere, spot some birds, and get a little sun. Only, her day doesn’t go nearly as planned.

 

She walks right into the middle of hell. And at the center of it? Lynnwood Thatcher. The mayor. The man that she took one glance at on the night of his inauguration and dismissed as boring. A total stick in the mud.

 

Only, he’s not so boring shirtless, in the middle of nowhere, doing things that are very illegal.

 

At first, she’s appalled. Then her interest gets piqued. Stuck-up suit is hot! And he has tattoos. Oh, and let’s not forget one hell of a mouth on him!

 

Then he goes and kidnaps her, and she realizes that nobody is quite as hot as you thought they were when they’re now holding you hostage.

NORI'S DELTA by Lori Ryan ★★★★ AVAILABLE NOW!


Release Date: September 15


He won’t lose her again…
Delta Operative Heath “Woof” Davis has spent years living on the edge.
Protecting a State Department official is just another assignment until he discovers that Eleanor Bonham is Nori Duncan, the one that got away. 

He can protect her from enemy forces in the Republic of Kazarus, but can he defend his heart from the woman who used to be his everything?

She’s not going to fall for a soldier boy…

High school was a long time ago, and Eleanor is no longer the heartbroken girl who ended things with Heath. She doesn’t have time for love, not if she’s going to rise in the ranks at State Department. But Heath is even more handsome than he was back then, and his years in the military have honed him into a man completely unlike the boy she once knew. With his sights set on her, how can she resist?

The mission in Kazarus is as important as it is dangerous. Eleanor and Heath will need to rely on one another if they are going to see the mission through. But will they be able to overcome past pain for the hope of a future?

** Nori's Delta is the 1st book in the Delta Team Three Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

** Operation Alpha is a fan-fiction world for Susan Stoker's novels. The characters in this series were introduced in Stoker's Delta Team Two series, specifically, book two, Shielding Kinley. You don't have to read that book to be engrossed in this series, but why wouldn't you want to? Enjoy!

CAT'S REVIEW

NORI'S DELTA by Lori Ryan.  This was an enjoyable read that certainly had some action and danger and suspense.  Our main couple - Nori and Heath - were high school sweethearts that are reunited in the face of danger.   I liked Heath, a/k/a Woof.  He is, of course, alpha and sexy, but deep down, he is sweet and kind, as is evident by the way all animals flock to him.  Nori is all business - a State Dept employee heading into serious negotiations - but I liked when she let her guard down and we saw inside to the true Nori - a person that cares for others and will put herself in danger to protect them.  She and Heath had some chemistry and some sparks too. The story moved at a good pace and the writing was well done.  Being a Susan Stoker fan, it was fun to see some of her characters in the story too.  I look forward to reading the tales of the rest of the Delta Three team soon!  (received ARC for honest review)

The Bachelor


He’s got wanderlust and no intention of settling down.

She’s home to stay and has put her bad boy ex in her rearview mirror.

After spending his life abroad, embracing his freedom at every turn as a foreign correspondent, Roman Chandler finds himself the brother nominated to deal with his ailing mother’s matchmaking shenanigans. Thanks to a coin toss, he needs to find someone to marry and fast.

It shouldn’t be that hard in sleepy Yorkshire Falls where women fall over themselves to hook a Chandler man.

But Roman only wants the one woman who got away.

Charlotte Bronson is back home to put down roots and get her lingerie business off the ground. She’s not interested in her past or a man that chose to chase breaking news stories to the far corners of the earth over her.

No matter how good they used to be or how combustible their chemistry still burns.

It’s up to Roman to convince Charlotte he’s a changed man and here to stay.

She’s sworn off men and weddings for good.

Police officer, Rick Chandler, has managed to fend off the marriage-minded women in his small town but it’s getting more difficult with each passing day. After all, there’s something about the Chandler charm that keeps them coming back with hope in their hearts.

What’s a man determined to stay single to do?

Kendall Sutton is a cliche, a runaway bride stuck on the side of the road, until she’s rescued by the sexiest cop she’s ever seen.

In spite of her pearly gown and tiara, Kendall vows to never get married -- which makes her the ideal fake girlfriend to ward off Rick's legion of admirers.

But when their charade starts to feel real, suddenly the town’s most popular playboy has marriage on his mind - but will a woman with Kendall’s jaded past ever say “I do”?

Small town journalist Chase Chandler has waited a long time for the chance at a national story, putting his dreams on hold to help with his younger trouble-making siblings and taking over the family newspaper.

His trip to Washington D.C. is business only until he gets a look at the seductive red-head.

Sloane Carlisle isn’t just any woman.

She’s a senator’s daughter whose world has been rocked by news that devastates her and she finds solace in Chase’s arms.

She was never supposed to see him again except when she heads to the small town of Yorkshire Falls to uncover the truth about her family, she runs headlong into the man she can’t forget and suddenly he’s by her side. 
All. The. Time.

Because unbeknownst to Sloane, in exchange for an exclusive, all Chase needs to do is keep her safe.

He’s watched his siblings fall in love and marry and suddenly the man who thought he was finished raising a family wants one with the woman who made him believe in love at first sight.

What will it take to get Sloane to say the two words that could turn the town's most eligible bachelor into the world's sexiest spouse?

KANE by Sawyer Bennett ★★★★★ AVAILABLE NOW!


Kane (Arizona Vengeance, Book #8) 

Sawyer Bennett 

Release Date: September 15, 2020




A


Are you ready for Kane Bellan’s story?

I have a problem.

Potential problem?

I’m not really sure. Here’s the deal.

There’s this girl—isn’t that how it always starts?—and her name is Mollie. I like her. I mean really like her. I hope that doesn’t make me seem less manly than my professional hockey player persona implies. But here’s the issue—she’s my best friend. The one person I can count on for everything, who’s been there with me for all the moments, big and small.

When Mollie shows up at my door, travel weary and scared following an incident with an ex, my instinct to protect her goes into overdrive. It’s then that I know she’s more than just my best friend and the skates are swept out from under me when I find out she feels the same way.

Our transition from friends to lovers to potentially something more is seamless, the Arizona Vengeance is back on the ice looking for a repeat championship, and my life has never been better. Just when I think I’ve got it all figured out, the realities of us both having careers which keep us on the road put our blossoming relationship on ice.

It feels like the game just went into overtime and I’m on the verge of either the biggest win or most disappointing loss of my life. And losing is never an option.

CAT'S REVIEW

KANE by Sawyer Bennett.   LOVED THIS!  Loved Kane!  Loved Mollie!  Loved the storyline!  Simply delightful all around.   Kane was scrumptious - a sexy hockey player that has a heart of gold.  Mollie, a wanderer in the true sense of the world, is full of life and adventure.  Together, they were a perfect match.   The story was filled with many emotions - happiness, sadness, fear and anger - and I felt each and every one.   Ms. Bennett's writing style flows effortlessly and grips the reader and never lets go.  She truly has a talent for telling tales that are believable and heartfelt.  This series has certainly taken a hold of my heart and KANE is no exception.   I highly recommend this one, and all of the Vengeance stories.   (received arc for honest review)

TEMPTED BY LOVE by Melissa Foster. ★★★★★ AVAILABLE NOW!




TEMPTED BY LOVE
The Steeles at Silver Island 
Melissa Foster
Releasing Sept 9, 2020
World Literary Press




Blurb:
Enjoy heart-meltingly beautiful and toe-curlingly sexy romance in Tempted by Love, an emotionally riveting story about a man who has lost it all and carries a torturous secret, a divorced single mother who has everything to lose, and the little girl who helps them heal. Fall in love on the sandy shores of Silver Island, home to coffee shops, boat races, midnight rendezvous, and the sexy, sharp-witted Steeles. They have a penchant for pranks, a passion for loyalty, and a trunk full of secrets.

In TEMPTED BY LOVE…
Years ago, bestselling author Jack “Jock” Steele lost his girlfriend and baby in a horrific accident that drove a wedge between Jock and his family, keeping him from sharing a devastating secret. An aging philanthropist saved him from the brink of despair, and for a decade Jock cared for his ailing friend who became his family. Now his friend has passed away and left him a fortune—on the condition that he publishes another book. Jock is floundering, unsure how to rebuild the life he’d walked away from, much less find his muse, have another relationship with a woman, or even think about having a family of his own. But he can’t get his sweet, sexy new friend, single-mother Daphne Zablonski out of his head, and her adorable toddler must know something he doesn’t, because she wraps her tiny fingers around his heart and won’t let go.

Daphne has been through the wringer with her ex-husband and doesn’t believe true love is in the cards for her. Friends she can handle, but letting a man see her mom bod naked? Especially someone as strikingly handsome and unbelievably sexy as Jock? No, thank you. Besides, she has a toddler to chase after and enough fictional boyfriends to fill her lonely nights. If only her book boyfriends could make her body tingle the way one look from her mysterious neighbor does.

As Jock and Daphne’s friendship turns to something too tempting to deny, their lives take an unexpected turn. Can a man who has lost everything find redemption with a woman who has everything to lose? And then there’s that secret…

CAT'S REVIEW

TEMPTED BY LOVE by Melissa Foster.  Well, what can I say?  Ms. Foster has taken my heart and ran away with it.  I ADORE this story.  I love Jock and I love Daphne and who couldn't adore Hadley!  The book is filled with love, romance, family and friends and so much more.  Jock and Daphne both have some turbulence in their pasts.  Experiencing them as they deal and muddle through these issues had me sniffling and grabbing the tissues. But Ms. Foster doesn't leave her readers a slobbery mess as she includes moments of lightness which made me smile and chuckle too.  This one is a true winner!  (received ARC for honest review)

Book Blurb:

I always knew I was different.
From a young age, my mind has been plagued with things only I could see. Some hauntingly beautiful, others completely terrifying. Never knowing if these visions were real or just hallucinations, I learned how to lock them down and ignore them. I learned to take solace in the relative anonymity of city life and find peace in the rainy days my city of Seattle is known for.
But just when I think my life is getting on track and my dreams are achievable, a moment of weakness causes me to learn a hard and fast lesson.

My entire existence has been a lie.
Now I’m faced with a new reality that’s as implausible as it is fantastical. Filled with realms and veils, light and dark, fae and daemons, gods and angels—things I don’t understand but am forced to acknowledge. It doesn’t help that the man teaching me about my unique gifts is the gorgeously handsome Carrick Byrne, one of Seattle’s richest and most powerful men.  He intimidates, annoys, and intrigues me all at the same time. I don’t trust him and yet there’s no one else to help me.
No longer certain who to put my faith in, what to believe, or how I fit into it all, one revelation is clear…

The world as I know it will never be the same again.
