5 Heart Review by Ashley
Ever read a book you wanted to crawl inside of and live in? Emma Scott did that...again with Between Hello and Goodbye. This book is a masterpiece. The things it did to me, made me feel can't adequately be put into words. I adored Faith. She was so smart but so dang lost. Struggling to come to grips with what she truly wanted in her life. But all it took was one less than stellar first meeting with Asher to make her want to break her newly implemented rules. Goodness! Where can I find an Asher. He is what book boyfriend dreams are made of. Brave. Proud. Honorable. Protective. And so out of his element when it came to Faith that he didn't know which way was up. For as much as he tried to fight it, he couldn't. Too bad time and Faith's other life was waiting for her. My heart ached as these two fought the inevitable. The pull. The want. The need. The love. So much love and sacrifice it bled off the pages. Faith and Asher's journey was so much more than a romance novel (though there was plenty of that). It was a life book. One that examined pain and peace. Struggle and hope. Makes you pause and think about how you're living and how you really want to be. So good. So perfect. A must read. Meet Emma

Everything We Are
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo / Google Play -- EXCERPT: THEA I never really thought I’d be that person—the one who switches school after a year because they’ve changed their whole career path. It’s not as if the change is because some big scandal went down. There was no sordid affair with a teacher, no cheating on a test, not even the slightest hint of any wrongdoing. The plain fact is, I quickly discovered the major I was studying was not for me. It took a while for realization to set in. I thought my plans were set in stone since ninth grade. Graduate from college with a summa cum laude, become a successful defense attorney defending high-profile cases in the state, get married and have kids. Now my direction has changed, and a high-flying defense attorney has been replaced with a nutritionist and dietician. There is another reason for this change; one I haven’t admitted to anyone. I feel like I’m stuck. I’m floating around in no man’s land with a future I’m not sure I want anymore. The trouble with having a life plan from an early age is the risk of growing out of it. It seemed like a good idea when I was fifteen and obsessed with crime dramas. It’s only when you start hitting the books and going to lecture upon lecture you realize it’s not as glamorous as it seems. I quickly discovered the legal profession is not for me. So here I am, leaving my hometown of Silver Lake and moving three hours south, where I’ll attend the University of Northport for the next three years. The Health Sciences department at Northport is one of the best in our state, which is the reason I’m transferring there. My career choice may have changed, but my ambitions for graduating summa cum laude remain the same. It helps that my older brother, Jude, goes there. Thankfully, I get to share a house with him and some of his teammates. Jude is on Northport’s ice hockey team, and if he wanted to, he could easily be drafted to the NHL. At the moment, though, he’s set on graduating and “conquering the world,” his words, not mine.
GIVEAWAY! Hosted by:  THAT LAST SUMMER Cabana - Book One by Susanna Herrero Blog Tour Release Date: June 24, 2022 Genre: Contemporary Romance Trope: Enemies to lovers, second chance, small-town Synopsis When he was only eight, Alexander St. Claire moved from London to a little town in Alicante, to a summer colored with green and the music of the ‘90s. On the other side of the swimming pool, in the house across the street, lived five-year-old Priscila Cabana. He taught her to count and to swim and to hold her breath. He colored her summers and she loved him from that first moment. She was his angel in the darkness, his Queen of the Desert. And then one summer afternoon, she just . . . left. Four years later, her beloved Mediterranean Sea, the sun, the water, and her brother’s wedding call Priscila back to her hometown. To her family, and the places she loves. But she also comes back to . . . Alex. Alex, who wants nothing to do with her. Whose eyes reflect only resentment and hostility. Who is still her husband. What happened that last summer?   About the Author Susanna Herrero was born in Bilbao in 1980. She has a double degree in Law and Economics and her job forced her to spend many hours in a car, traveling. All those solo trips and her great imagination colluded to create the characters that would later become the main protagonists of her first saga: Los saltos de Sara. Passionate about reading ever since she first read The Neverending Story at the age of ten, she’d never thought of writing her own books, but she couldn’t turn her back on her characters either. Now she has exchanged car trips for literature, ever since her passion for the Mediterranean Sea, a certain little town in Alicante and a blank page made her fly hopelessly to the Cabana series and its five books: Aquel último verano (That Last Summer), El chico de la última fila, La última vez que vi llover, El último lugar en la tierra and Somos el último verano. In 2020, her novel Y el mundo no dejaba de girar won the Jaén Prize for Young Adult Narrative, which was a great recognition of her work and a turning point in her career. Susanna Herrero now ventures into the anglo-saxon market with That Last Summer, book one in a Mediterranean series about a family of five siblings and their sunny and sexy love stories.

-- EXCERPT: DARKNESS SURROUNDED ME AS I OPENED MY eyes, its emptiness clinging to me like a second skin. A shiver rattled my bones as my feet hit the cold planks of my cottage’s hardwood floor. Smoothing my nightgown straight, I walked to my altar, ready for my next attempt. It had been two days since my last dream, and all I could remember was that I didn’t want it to end. I tried to force myself back to sleep—back to him. Dark, sparkling eyes from beneath his hood were all I could remember before being ripped awake without warning. Now I was desperate to get back. There was something about him I needed to learn. Something magical calling to my witch’s soul. My last batch of skullcap, rosemary, and mugwort sat cold in my mortar. This time, an added pinch of passionflower should stop my mental chatter. I needed to focus if I was going to make this work. Three times before, I’d seen him shimmering in the distance, watching me from afar. The most recent dream I recalled was like a fairy tale. With glistening castles and lush forests surrounding me, it was full of mythical creatures who let me frolic alongside them without a care in the world. I spotted him standing behind a stone outbuilding, staring and monitoring my every move. The dream before that took place in a desert where I lived a fabulous life as the close friend of an important sheik. There he’d been huddled behind a spice cart in the market, but I could still feel his eyes upon me. Regardless of my dream’s location, my watcher was always there. Unfortunately, my last dream had been yanked away, leaving me with a complete void. Something had changed, and I was determined to find out what.

Title: Crow
Series: Devil's Murder MC #1
Author: Nikki Landis
Genre: MC Romantic Suspense
Release Date: June 24, 2022
BLURB
From USA Today bestselling author Nikki Landis comes a new standalone MC romance and the first book in the Devil’s Murder MC series.
Crow, son of the former president of the Devil’s Murder MC, is determined to avenge his father’s death and repair the broken club left behind. Bad blood, bitter memories, and a territory feud decades in the making threaten to tear apart everything his father built. He might have left town to escape his past, but now there’s no choice. He’s determined to return and take his place among his brothers, even if they don’t want his leadership.
He didn’t forget what it means to live by the cut. The brotherhood is all he knows. It’s all he cares about since learning of his father’s murder: that and revenge.
Crow has a hell of a lot to prove, and it can’t come at a worse time. Stopping at a bar on the way back to reclaim his position in the club, he encounters a pretty petite redhead in a whole heap of trouble. His protective instincts kick in, and now he’s got more problems than he can handle.
Crow can’t resist helping out a woman in need, but this spitfire is way more trouble than he anticipates. Bella’s searching for her missing sister and desperate for help, even if that means bargaining with a dangerous biker. For reasons Crow can’t quite figure out, she makes him feel like a goddamn hero, like a man who can live inside the law instead of out of it.
Now there’s a rival club on their heels and innocent lives on the line. Taking her back to the clubhouse for protection sparks a whole shitstorm Crow doesn’t need. Bella insists he’s the only hope for finding her sister, and time is running out.
Nobody messes with this feisty redhead. And nobody threatens the Devil’s Murder because the club protects their own. Whatever the cost. There’s a reason the club is called a murder, and their bikes ride on the dark wings of circling crows. It’s an omen of impending death. No enemy can outrun the Devil’s Murder.
CROW is a full-length, standalone bad boy romance. You’ll love this heart-pounding first book in the Devil’s Murder MC featuring take-charge bikers who adore and fiercely protect their women. CROW has no cheating, no cliffhanger, plenty of heat, and a guaranteed HEA along with a slight paranormal twist.

3.5 Heart Review by AshleyI am a sucker for a good second-chance romance and Moments in Time was just that. K.K. Allen got me square in the chest right from the start and the emotional ride didn't stop the whole way through. I admired Violet for her resiliency and sacrifice. In doing whatever it took to take back her life on her own terms and be able to provide for her son. Too bad her past, in the form of her ex best friend, Jamison, kept showing up. I liked how he gave her the space to come to him and open up about what actually happened to tear them apart in the past. And let me tell you, those two 'friends' were always so much more than they would admit to the other. I will say that I wanted a little bit more of Jamison and Violet and Brayden bonding together. Other than that I'm looking forward to seeing these two enjoy their love as this series moves forward. 
EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT
I lean back against his chest while I grind against him. “Tell me how it feels for you.” His lips fall to my ear, and he whispers, “Familiar.” The instant the word is out of his mouth, my heart thumps chaotically against my ribcage because I know exactly why he would say that. “Tell me you remember that night after senior prom.” His words are so soft and airy, they tickle my neck and linger there for a long beat before he speaks again. “We were all camping out in the woods, and you and I had decided to share our own tent.” Heat billows through my body at the memory. “Everyone was having the loudest sex. We were trying not to laugh,” I add. “You were trying not to laugh,” he says. “That’s right.” My cheeks heat. “Because I was muffling you.” “So I started tickling you.” “And we started wrestling.” My skin is scorching, thanks to the very vivid memory. I remember that night well, not because of what happened between us in that tent but because Jami was the only one who had asked me to our senior prom. Heartbroken, I told Jami I wasn’t going, and that was when he asked me. It ended up being one of the best nights of my life. “You were wearing that sexy little red tube dress.” His tone becomes raspy with his words. “You had stripped down to your boxer briefs.” His nose grazes my cheek. “And you had a— what’d you call it again?” “A wardrobe malfunction.” He chuckles with his next groan. “Yeah, that’s it. Your tits came bouncing out, and I couldn’t stop staring.” There’s a whirring in my chest as I sneak a look at him. “And I let you.” He sighs as his eyes flutter closed then back open. “I wanted you to look. I wanted you to do more than look.” My mind fogs as I continue to move for Jami while imagining myself right back in that tent with him. Back when there was still the possibility of something more. I still remember the shock that lit up his face when my tube top slipped down. He had my hands pinned behind my head and his knees between my thighs when it happened. Just like that, my bare breasts and hard nipples were the focus of his attention. He looked so hungry sitting there, his tongue sliding around his lips so slowly I thought I might die if he didn’t kiss me. But it wasn’t my lips he leaned down to kiss. When he lowered his head, the movement was so still that I knew it was on purpose. He was asking for permission without actually saying the words. I had plenty of time to push him away, to tell him no, to pull my top back up before we laughed it off like it never happened. I swear, a chorus erupted in a rendition of Hallelujah when his mouth finally touched down. A warm breeze from his heavy breathing hit my nipple first, creating an ache between my thighs. His lips grazed me next, causing my entire body to shiver beneath him. But when he took my nipple into his mouth, sucked, and started flicking it with his tongue, my need for relief was so intense that all I could do was work my hips to rub against him. Coming back to the present, I still feel like I’m floating somewhere in between. “You’re so big for me,” I croak out to him. “Just like you were in that tent.” He lets out a desperate breath in my ear. “You didn’t believe me when I told you to keep grinding on my cock until you came.” “So I told you I wanted to test your theory. You gripped my waist and moved with me.” “I was hitting you as deep as I could, but our underwear was in the way.” He’s right. Neither of us had dared remove another layer. We were both virgins, and still just friends despite all the time we spent together and the number of intimate moments we had shared in the past. It had been an unspoken agreement that we didn’t cross that line even though we were steadily approaching the point of no return. “You flipped us so I could ride you. Remember that?” I use that opportunity to flip myself around so we’re face to face. I continue my rocking, the friction sparking my core. “It felt so good when I finally came. Like fireworks were shooting off in my body.” His mouth parts slightly. “I wanted to be inside of you so fucking bad that night.” “I wanted that too.” I’m so lost in him, in us, in the past, that I almost forgot my mission. I was going to tease him until he was close to climax and then abandon him to teach him never to come back to my place of work again. But I don’t know if I can do that anymore. Not when these feelings I’ve kept buried for so long keep rising to the surface. “Still do.” Pain lances across his face, my words striking him deeply. “Let me touch you, Vi. Where can I touch you?” His words—an ice-cold bath of reality—hit me hard. This moment we’re sharing isn’t special like the one we once had together. This one is muddled with present-day confusion, painful secrets, and dark desires. I’m wearing a mask, for fuck’s sake. And we’re on camera. This isn’t real. With my heart beating triple its normal speed, I seize all movement and slide off his lap. “Time’s up.”
