The Sinner by Emma Scott #TragicPast

Rating: The Sinner by Emma Scott is now live! Shy, introverted Lucy Dennings lives a quiet little life in New York City, working for a nonprofit and keeping to herself. Every afternoon, she goes home to her empty apartment and Edgar, her houseplant, and every night, she loses herself in the pages of her beloved romance novels. Her lonely heart seeks solace in tales of passionate, enduring, all-consuming love, but more and more, Lucy feels she’s not just reading for pleasure but searching for a lost piece of herself in the pages. As if she once touched something beautiful but...

#ReleaseBlitz #FiveBlushReview ~~ Gentleman Sinner by @JodiEllenMalpas

Christina’s 5 Blush Review I absolutely adored everything about this book. From the first time our heroine lays eyes on our hero in the most intriguing of ways, to the extremely satisfying epilogue, Gentleman Sinner is quintessential JEM perfection. We have another damaged yet protective alpha-male in Theo Kane but he’s more than that. Beneath his imposing physical stature, Theo is a kind and loving hero who is so drawn to the heroine in ways he’s not even sure how to explain. Izzy is a great female lead. She strong, having overcome so much in her life. She has a...

#AvailableNow #FiveBlushReview #UpAllNightReading ~~ Long Live the Beautiful Hearts by Emma Scott #5BlushAlert

Rating:   Never again would I allow my heart to become the plaything of someone else. Never again would I let a man (or men) come between me and my goals. Never again would I love without feeling the fullness of that love in return. Not until I knew it was real. And if that took me a lifetime to find, so be it. Those were my vows, and after all that had happened with Connor and Weston, I was determined to keep them. To protect my heart. And then he came home, and my vows became his promises. He...

#BlogTour~~Bring Down the Stars by Emma Scott #5BlushAlert

Rating:       I fell for Connor Drake. I didn’t want to; I fought against it, but I fell in love with him anyway. With his words. With his poetry. With him. The gentleness and beauty of his soul that speaks directly to mine. He writes as if he can feel my heart, hear its cadence and compose the exact right lyrics to accompany every beat and flow. I’m in love with Connor…so why do I feel an inexplicable pull to his best friend, Weston? Grouchy, sullen, brooding Weston Turner, who could cut you down with a look. Fiercely...

#BlogTour~~The Downside of Love by Meghan Quinn

Rating:     This isn’t a story about a love triangle. There is no triangle involved. This isn’t a story about an accidental pregnancy. Although having a baby with her . . . I would. This isn’t a story about lies and deception, even though at times I’ve lied to myself. No, this is my story. A story about sacrifice. A story about a man who fell in love with the wrong girl. A story I wish I never had to tell. This is a story about the true meaning of the downside of love.   Christina’s 4.5 Blush Review...

#BlogTour~~The Upside of Falling by Meghan Quinn #tearjerker #MilitaryRomance

Rating:       Tucked away at the base of the Rocky Mountains lived a little boy with one singular dream: leave this broken and battered home and become someone. Be somebody’s hero. That boy was me—Colby Brooks. Except I’m not that same little boy anymore. My dreams might still be the same, but my reality isn’t. I’m smarter. Stronger. A man. And I learned a long damn time ago, the only way to achieve my dreams was to avoid distractions—at any cost. Focus. Resolve. Determination. But all it took was one single night. One night and my entire life…changed....
