#NewReleaseAlert~~The Spark by Vi Keeland

Rating:   Title: The Spark Author: Vi Keeland Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance Release Date: July 12, 2021 Christina’s 4 Blush Review Gah! So good. The Spark is aptly titled since that is exactly what these two characters felt around each other. Sparks, energy, chemistry, heat. I really enjoyed this story. Not only was the hero a total sweat heart, but he had some swoon-worthy lines that made me melt into a puddle of mush. I mean a mushy, gooey pile of lovesick goo. See where I’m going with this? Autumn is a strong, independent and loyal heroine. She is at...

#NewReview~~A Fate of Wrath & Flame by K.A. Tucker

Rating: Sandy’s 4.75 Blush Review! K.A. Tucker writes mystery (Burying Water), I’m here for it.  She writes dark romance (He Will be My Ruin), I’m here for it.  She writes under a different nom de plume (Nina West), I’m here for it.  She wants to make a state (Alaska) a main character in her book, I’m here for it.  She writes psychological fiction (Keep Her Safe), you already know what I’m going to say….she also has one of my favorite covers of all time (Ten Tiny Breaths). Now she delves into a world of fantasy – something a little different...

#4BlushReview~~Falling for the Villain by M. Robinson and Rachel Van Dyken

Rating: Falling for the Villain By M. Robinson and Rachel Van Dyken “Play for me, Juliet…” Those four words whispered in my ear again and again until I craved what I used to fear. Such a simple demand from my captor—the man who stole me and refused to tell me why he wouldn’t let me go. I was his. He made me need him, just as much as he needed me. I broke all the rules of the golden prison he put me in. During the day he ruled his dark, seedy world. His subjects and me. During the night—he...

#4Blush Review~~Evin’s Fight by Ahren Sanders

Rating: Stephanie’s 4 Blush Review Evin’s Fight has everything that I love about contemporary romance. Amazing characters, swoony moments, lots of sexy times. There is no shortage of super sexy alpha men or beautiful, kind, amazing, independent women! Evin Graham is hot, successful and single. Devoted to his family and friend, he works hard and plays harder. A trip to Vegas with his family changes everything. He also likes control… “I was close to losing control, Poppy, and I’m not a man who loses control.” Poppy Malone is such a beautiful person. Kind, laid back, fun and flirty. Her style is...

#4BlushReview~~ Say Yes by @kandisteiner #SummerRead

Rating: Say Yes by Kandi Steiner is now live! Two strangers. Two words. One unforgettable summer… When you’re an artist, everything has to be perfect. Or so I thought, until my professor told me my perfection was boring and unoriginal. Studying abroad in Florence has taught me one thing: I know nothing when it comes to what makes art truly beautiful. So, with my professor’s words in my ear, I step outside one evening and decide to say yes to any and everything I’m faced with until the sun rises. Of course, I didn’t expect him to show up. Liam...

#4.5BlushReviewHamilton and Me by Giles Terera

Rating: Hamilton and Me: An Actor’s Journal by Giles Terera ‘One of the most joyous and clear-eyed approaches to playing a character that I have ever read… I am so grateful Giles took notes on his process and turned them into this book. I was already in awe of his performance; now I’m in awe of his humanity and attention to detail and willingness to share the hard work and magic that goes into it.’ Lin-Manuel Miranda, from his Foreword ‘Stand. Breathe. Look. Try to empty my mind. Somehow, for some reason, I have been brought to this place to tell...
