#FiveBlushReview #Bestof2019 ~~ Broken Record by K.A. Linde

Rating: Broken Record (Record #5) by K.A. Linde Louisa’s 5 Blush Review This book is a gift to KA Linde’s readers. We have been reading it piece by piece in her newsletter. I was great at the beginning, reading each chapter as she released them, but as time went on, I lost track, and I almost didn’t want to know the ending. I am thinking this is the last of the Maxwells for KA Linde, and I honestly didn’t want it to end. But I buckled down, and dove in, and KA Linde has shown herself once again as the...

Blog Tour ~~ In The Unlikely Event by L.J. Shen

Rating: “Romance masterpiece” – Kylie Scott, New York Times bestselling author From USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a new, contemporary romance with heart-wrenching twists and laugh-out-loud moments. In The Unlikely Event is available now!   Stephanie’s 5 Blush Review So this is LJ Shen’s “crazy”??? In her own words, Ms. Shen states that she decided to “grant myself the indulgence of writing one, completely crazy, utterly out-of-character book for me.” I will take your “crazy” anytime! Loving someone is willingly accepting that they can destroy you. Eighteen-year-old Aurora Belle Jenkins (Rory) is grieving the death...

#ItsLive #Review #ReviewTour ~~ Miles Ahead by Willow Aster

Rating: ?? NEW RELEASE ?? Miles Ahead by Willow Aster is LIVE! Get ready for Miles’s happily ever after! SANDY’S 4.75  BLUSH REVIEW Have you read 5,331 Miles?  Well, that’s your first mistake.  Not that you wouldn’t enjoy Miles Ahead anyway but it will certainly enrich your perspective.  We originally meet Miles Stark as a secondary character in 5,331 Miles.  Truth is I was crushing a little on him and was glad to have this novella to get to know him a little better. Cory Sellers is famous, drop-dead gorgeous and carrying HUGE emotional baggage.  Miles Stark is immediately interested but she’s way out of...

#Review #YA #Fantasy #FiveBlushReview ~ The Caged Queen by Kristen Ciccarelli

Rating: THE CAGED QUEEN ALEX’S 5 BLUSH REVIEW   As much as I enjoyed The Last Namsara, I LOVED The Caged Queen.  I could not put this book down and read the majority of it in a day. Not only did it give insight into Asha’s fate after  The Last Namsara, but it continued the story of other characters in the book.  Roa and Dax had such an interesting relationship, and I enjoyed reading about their history. While this book had less dragons and a different kind of magic from The Last Namsara, both were still present and there was the...

#BlogTour ~~ Outmatched by Kristen Callihan and Samantha Young

Rating: Outmatched by Kristen Callihan and Samantha Young Release Date: November 19, 2019 Christina’s 4 Blush Review When I heard Kristen Callihan paired up with Samantha Young to write a fake boyfriend/sports romance, my brain exploded from excitement. I have loved Callihan’s romance stories since Idol and zipped right through her sports romance series as well. I hadn’t had the pleasure of reading Samantha Young yet, but I’m so glad I jumped on the opportunity to read Outmatched. I loved it! I loved the juxtaposition between the nerdy, chic, refined and wealthy heroine Parker, and the rough and tough Bostonian...

Cover Reveal ~~ Inappropriate by Vi Keeland

  Inappropriate Release date January 20th, 2020 A Standalone Contemporary Romance  #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Vi Keeland     BLURB Terminated for inappropriate behavior. I couldn’t believe the letter in my hands. Nine years. Nine damn years I’d worked my butt off for one of the largest companies in America, and I was fired with a form letter when I returned home from a week in Aruba. All because of a video taken when I was on vacation with my friends—a private video made on my private time. Or so I thought… Pissed off, I cracked open a...

#Review #YA #Fantasy ~~ The Last Namsara by Kristen Ciccarelli

The Last Namsara (Iskari #1) by Kristen Ciccarelli Alex’s 4.5 Blush Review  This book had a lot of my favorite YA Fantasy components: a strong female main-character, magic, star-crossed lovers, a character you can love to hate, and some nice plot-twists.  Asha’s character development from the beginning of the book to the end was fantastic and natural.  I loved reading about her inner turmoil as she made decisions that went against her upbringing.  The book’s major plot-twist had my jaw actually dropping because I did not see it coming at all, which is always a sign of a good story...

From Wall Street Journal & USA Bestselling Author M. Robinson comes Love You Now, book 2 in the Love Hurts Duet A coming of age, enemies to lovers, contemporary romance filled with angst and all the feels.  LOUISA’S 5 BLUSH REVIEW There are a few reasons I am such an Author M. Robinson fan… 1. She leaves me breathless with her cliffhangers (but redeemers herself in the next book with gusto.) 2. She writes angsty love stories that make my head spin. A dual POV, now and then story gives me everyone’s side of the story to give me the...
