RELEASE BLAST (+ARC Review): Healing Storms by Lynn Burke

autumnbookreads

T2 Healing Storms Lynn Burke

Happy Book Birthday to this amazing book! It deserves all of the stars and more and I’m so happy it’s out in the world today.

BLURB:

Not all storms bring fear. Some cleanse wounds and heal souls.

One stormy night breaks Kane Austin. Moving deeper into the Pennsylvania woods doesn’t heal the heartache of his tragic loss, nor does it offer the peace he longs for. He certainly can’t bear the thought of loving again.

Charley Woodhill blames himself for his sister’s and niece’s deaths. He feels he doesn’t deserve Kane’s forgiveness, and especially not his love, but that doesn’t keep him from watching over his best friend from afar, coveting what he can never have.

Determined to live a quiet life, Jill Walters isn’t looking for a man or complications. But flames of desire bright as a lightning strike can’t be denied, and the consequences of falling for not just one but two men shakes her unstable foundation.

Will Kane let go of the ghosts from his past? Can Charley find the strength to share the man he’s longed for since childhood? Or will Jill choose for them and flee to keep the two men safe?

ARC Review:

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

This book gave me everything I wanted and sooooo much more. I’ve always loved menage romances, but MMF can be a hit or miss for me depending on how the relationships between all of the characters are portrayed. This book handled those so well and I was invested in every little detail in the relationships between these three. Their stories ripped my heart out and made it so happy at the same time. I could not get enough of them and this story could have been a 500 more pages and I would have kept reading!

Happy Book Birthday to Love Unexpected!!

I’d only wanted one kiss.
One kiss, under the dark of night, in a city where no one knew us.

But, it didn’t stop at one kiss.

His touch disarms me.
His kiss revives me.
But, our love, could destroy me.

Banner AN_Back To Shore_Taylor Danae Colbert

Back To Shore by Taylor Danae Colbert is LIVE!

BLURB:

When I was sixteen, I was madly in love with Ryder Casey.
He was kind, he was loving, he was everything.
Then he killed my twin brother, the night before our seventeenth birthday.
Accident or not, he crushed me in more ways than one. So I turned him away and never looked back. I haven’t forgotten. And I certainly haven’t forgiven.
Now, I’m sort of a hot mess. I’m in between jobs, essentially homeless, and newly divorced.
But as I try to put the pieces of my life back together, I know that Ryder’s the one that’s missing. I have to find him, and I have to forgive him.
And when I do, I learn that he’s not exactly living the easiest life. He needs someone. He needs me.
Despite everything, I know I should be there for him. But doing that means I’ll have to put our past behind us.
And I’ll have to try my hardest not to fall back in love with the man who broke my heart beyond repair.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

I really liked this book. It gave me a lot of the emotional turmoil I went into it for (without going too far) and I ultimately fell in love with this couple and their story which is exactly what I wanted.

ARC REVIEW: Den of Vipers by K.A. Knight

autumnbookreads

53544752. sy475

∴ Goodreads | Amazon US ∴

Synopsis:

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel—The Vipers.

They run this town and everyone in it. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses.

Yes, sold me.

They own me now.

I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant. These men, they look at me with longing. Their scarred, blood-stained hands holding me tight. They want everything I am, everything I have to give, and won’t stop until they get just that. They can own my body, but they will never have my heart.

The Vipers? I’m going to make them regret the day they took me.

This girl? She bites too.

*18+ Reverse Harem Romance. Warning this book contains scenes and references of abuse/assault that some readers may find triggering. Along with graphic sex scenes and violence. This is a dark book*

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

I loved this book so much like I can’t even put it into words. It gave me all of the dark and gritty themes I was looking for and the fact that it was an RH only made it better! It was exactly what I needed in my life right now!

RELEASE BLITZ (+EXCERPT & ARC Review!!!): Color Me Pretty by B. Celeste

autumnbookreads

Hello Lovelies! This week has been super hectic (yet SO fun) because of all the brand new releases coming out! Today is the book birthday of this beautiful book, Color Me Pretty! I am so happy to be a part of the release blitz and to share my spoiler-free ARC review with you guys today!

Synopsis:

For as long as I could remember, Theodore West was in my life as the support system I needed when my parents were too busy building our family’s future.

He offered me shoes to dance on, a shoulder to absorb my tears, and the harsh reality of where my life was leading when I was at my lowest point.

And when the future my parents planned derailed after a statewide scandal, I had no choice but to fantasize about one for myself that didn’t involve them.

But Theo? He was always in it.

My father’s best friend.

The man who would undoubtedly end me if I didn’t end him first.

EXCERPT:

“I’m surprised you didn’t get sick of me always bugging you to dance then.” I’d been relentless and he always did as I asked. My father joked I’d had him wrapped around my finger, a place I wanted him to always remain, even if that was selfish.
“I didn’t mind.”
“You never used to—” I squealed when he lifted me up and guided my feet to his shoes where they rested as soon as he dropped me back down, then started laughing when he kept dancing just like that. Like the old times.
“I enjoyed those days, Della,” he told me honestly, his face drawing back ever so slightly until his breath caressed the side of my face.
“You did?”
Half his lips quirked up. “I did. Those were simpler times when there was nothing heavy to worry about.”
I licked my lips as his nose grazed mine. My heart sped in my chest as I closed my eyes again and willed him to close the gap between our lips, but it never came. So I said, “Things now are certainly complicated because of my father…”
His sigh was felt in my soul, heavy and burdened, and I wanted to know his thoughts. “It isn’t just your father that makes things complicated now.”
“It isn’t?”
A pause. “No, Della, it isn’t.”

Carrie Gray: I have always loved to read. In kindergarten, I was the weird kid sitting in the reading nook by myself instead of trying to get more snacks. I’m excited to be putting my own voice on the page and watching a story I helped create come to life. I still love to read, but I also really like snacks.

I grew up in Chicago but recently moved back to the Dallas area where I live with my husband and son. I have my Bachelor of Science in Biology. I spent a year researching chimpanzees and gorillas while I was in Chicago and then I spent another two months on a chimpanzee sanctuary trying to convince headstrong chimps to cooperate. Pro tip – grapes are a pretty hot bargaining tool. They work wonders with my toddler too.
