Book Tag: March Wrap Up

Every month i was planning on doing a monthly wrap up, and recap the books i read for the month, along with my top reads. My top read for February was Where Lightening Strikes from AL Jackson's Bleeding Stars series. (You can find my full recap Here).

For March I read 14 books.

The first book that i read was an Arc of Limelight by Alyson Santos. It was my first book i read by this author, but i loved it. I loved Jesse's character, and the story. I gave it 5⭐ out of 5⭐ review.

The next book was Grey by EL James to prepare to read Darker. I am pretty sure i had read it before, but i actually don't remember it, so i am glad that i decided to do a reread (at least i think its a reread anyways). I give it 4⭐ out of 5⭐. I love Christian's POV, but felt it was lacking somewhat review.

After I finished Grey i started Darker also by EL James. Which is basically fifty shades darker in Christian's POV. I have always loved Christian, having a thing for dark, damaged, and broken souls, and i always love to try and get inside their heads- to know what goes on. And I so cannot look forward to fifty shades free in Christians POV. 4⭐ out of 5⭐ review

After finishing up Grey & Darker, I decided to start in on the Royal Series by Erin Watt. I went in blind, not knowing what to think of the series beforehand, but i fell so in love with the Royals! Reed was an asshole, but damn did i love him. And the endings for the books left me frustrated and wanting more! 
Paper Princess- 5⭐ out of 5⭐ review
Broken Prince-  5⭐ out of 5⭐ review
Twisted Palace 4.5⭐ out of 5⭐ review
Tarnished Crown (Gideon's book on Wattpad) 4⭐ out of 5⭐ review
Fallen Heir (Easton's book 1) 4.5⭐ out of 5⭐ review
Cracked Kingdom (Easton's book 2) 4.5⭐ out of 5⭐ review

After I finished The Royals series, i started Imagine Me by Fiona Cole. I loved that it was cute, and quirky, and sweet. And it had the forbidden feel to it (brothers best friend, 13 yr age difference). 4⭐ out of 5⭐ review

Then i started Devils and Rye by Alta Hensley, which is book 4 of her top shelf series. I honestly love the books, being darker and more taboo than what I normally read. 4⭐ out of 5⭐ review

After Devils & Rye it was a week before I picked up another book, since we got hit with the stomach bug hard in our house (poor mini was sick almost the whole week). So i wanted something light and fun, and picked up the Wild Ones books by CM Owen. Loved Them! 
Becoming a Vincent 5⭐ out of 5⭐ review
Going Wild 5 ⭐ out of 5⭐ review

Then read Sweeping the Series by Kate Stewart. Normally I'm not into sports romance books, but I loved Drive, and wanted to read more by Kate so I thought I would give it a go! Of course i loved Ren. 4⭐ out of 5⭐ review

How many books did you read this month? Let me know your top read in the comments below! 💙

Author: Vivian Wood
Genre: New Adult/Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 27, 2018
 

BLURB
 
From Wall Street Journal & USA Today Bestseller Vivian Wood comes a taboo tale of love, lust, and longing.
 
I loved her once, a long time ago.
 
Effie goddamn White, the raven-haired, pouty-lipped temptress.
 
Hell, I was f*cking obsessed with her. Her touch, her smell, her taste… I couldn’t get enough.
 
And she shattered my cold, hardened heart into a million pieces.
 
I’ll never let that happen again. Ever. I know better.
 
My brother Thorne waited in the wings. When I left, he pounced. Now I’m back, and Effie’s on Thorne’s arm, wearing Thorne’s ring.
 
But she’s looking at me. And when we are trapped together, she’s undressing me with those baby blue eyes. Touching me. Tormenting me.  
 
That thing that I said would never happen twice?

F*ck, she’s doing it to me again. And I love the way it feels, almost as much as she does...

Release Boost: Devils & Rye

RELEASE BOOST
Title: Devils & Rye
Series: Top Shelf #4
Author: Alta Hensley
Genre: Dark Romance Standalone
Release Date: March 27, 2018

BLURB 
 
Forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest. 
 
It had been years since I had seen her.
Years since I last saw those eyes with pure, raw innocence.
So much time had passed since I lusted after what I knew I should resist.
 
But she was so right.
And I was so wrong.
 
To claim her as mine was breaking the rules. Boundaries should not be broken. But temptation weakens my resolve.
With the pull of my dark desires…
I know that I can’t hide from my sinful thoughts—and actions—forever.
 
*Devils & Rye is a dark billionaire romance. If you don’t like a splash of shock, a dash of taboo, and a heavy dose of sex, then don’t take a sip of this TOP SHELF cocktail.

Royal. Recklessly Rebellious. Totally Delicious.

SUBJECT: I’m sorry (Marked Confidential)
Sat 21 May 02:48 A.M.

From the Desk of His Royal Highness Prince Robert

Aly—can’t stop thinking about tonight. Never thought enemies like us would end up naked together. Again. Know you think I’m cocky, but come on, sweetheart…don’t tell me it’s not the best sex you’ve ever had.

I’m not a good man. But for the first time, I wish I were. Maybe then I’d deserve you. I don’t. Not when I come from a family like mine. All these secrets…

You’re gorgeous. Clever. You call me out on my bullshit, and I bloody adore it.

I adore you, sweetheart.

You have your new bloke. And I’m…me. The playboy prince. We’re not meant to be together. But staying away from you is killing me, Aly. Thinking about him touching you is killing me.

I’ve no right to talk to you like this. Im sorry. It’s the whiskey talking. This is what you do to me.

Rob

P.S.—I can’t send this. But I am thinking of you.

RELEASE BLITZ
Title: Like a Boss
Authors: Sylvia Pierce & Lili Valente
Genre: Sexy, Flirty, Dirty Office Romance
Release Date: March 29, 2018
 


BLURB

I’m one puff piece away from tearing up my journalism degree and hurling my laptop into the Hudson River. So when I smell a juicy story brewing at my brother’s Wall Street investment firm, I’ll do whatever it takes to get my scoop.
 
One clever disguise later, I’m deep undercover as the firm’s newest broker, simultaneously gathering intel and spouting off stock tips like a boss.
 
Go me, right?
 
Sure, it sounds good on paper, but there’s a catch: The actual boss.
 
Chief Executive Panty-melter Jack Holt is cocky. Infuriating. And one smoldering look has me ready to violate every rule in the employee handbook.
 
Thank God my assignment has an expiration date. Because falling for my brother’s best friend and business partner is a lose-lose proposition. Right?
 
***
 
In the market for a hot tip? Here’s one.
 
Don’t bang your best friend’s little sister. Especially when she’s an investigative journalist and your company is the target of her latest exposé.
 
Unfortunately I’ve got a hard-on for high-risk bets, and I’m more than eager to invest my considerable stock holdings in Ellie Seyfried’s… ahem… glorious assets.
 
Friends with fringe benefits is a sweet deal, but it’s not long before I’m falling harder than the post-bubble Nasdaq, hooked on Ellie’s sweet smile and determination to make the world a better place.
 
There’s only one problem…
 
When it comes to risking my money, I’ve mastered every trick in the book. But how the hell do I risk my heart?

He's the hottest player in Major League Baseball, the most notorious playboy in all of Manhattan...

And my fake fiancé for the next three months.

I was drunk-dialing my ex the night I met him.

Six-three, sexy as sin and so incredibly rude I could smack the asshole smirk right off his face. Long story short, we got off to a bad start. But when the tabloids interpret our sparring as Drew Maddox "groveling" with a "mystery brunette," his agent presents us both a proposal:

Shacking up as a couple this summer.

It’s an alleged “win-win.” I need to prove to my ex that I'm fine. Drew needs to prove to his team that he's stable. Thanks to his on-field brawling and never-ending lady drama, Drew Maddox has suddenly found himself on the trade block - which means he needs a fast, easy way to show the team that he's settled down.

Hence this fiancé thing. 

Our fights are real, our kisses are fake, and thanks to the nonstop heat between us, I’m starting to mix up all my signs. But whether it’s real or fake, there’s one thing I do know:

I’m already addicted.

Title: Come A Little Closer
Author: Kim Karr
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 28, 2018

BLURB

I haven’t always been this bad…

Up until recently, I was the kind of girl who wore white cotton panties and bent at the knees rather than the waist.
Pomp and circumstance changed all that.
Jaxson Cassidy was my first taste of bad, and I liked it more than I should have. Just not in the way I was meant to. I couldn’t help myself though. I found him irresistible. That sexy grin, those skilled fingers, and that dirty, dirty mouth were a lethal combination.

I wasn’t supposed to want him. I wasn’t supposed to let him put his hands on me. I wasn’t supposed to do a lot of things…but I did.

He wants to keep me close.
I should push him away.

He says he can help me.
I’m not so sure.

For some reason, he thinks there’s good left in me.
What if he’s wrong?

Everyone knows a good boy can’t turn a bad girl around.
Everyone knows it’s always the other way.
Everyone…except him.

Cover Reveal: Once Upon a Time


COVER REVEAL
Title: Once Upon A Time
Series: Runaway Princess: Flicka #1
Author: Blair Babylon
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Cover Design: Amy Queau, QDesign
Release Date: April 3, 2018

BLURB

When a real princess falls in love with a man who is definitely not a prince, a royal fairy tale turns dangerous.

ONCE UPON A TIME, there was a beautiful princess, Flicka von Hannover, who lived an enchanted life. She jetted around Europe staging charity events with friends, had married a handsome prince in the most spectacular royal wedding of the 21st century, and should have lived happily ever after.

But then she found the handsome prince in bed with a duchess. And then a coffee shop barista. And then her own goddamn secretary.

Finally, the beautiful princess had had enough of the cheating prince, and she ran away.

Once she had stepped out of the royal fairy tale, life became grayer, grittier, and rougher. The prince didn’t like that she had left and sent henchmen to take her back to the castle. Her worried royal brother sent people to look for her, too.

But the princess didn’t want to be found. The princess got a job and made her own way in the world. Even cut off from everyone she knew, she was more resourceful than she had thought she might be. She did okay. From hiding, she sent legal separation papers and then divorce documents, but the prince wouldn’t sign them. He said he wouldn’t let her go. Even in these modern times, the prince could lock the princess up in a dungeon of legal forms and provisions that she wouldn’t be able to break out of. The prince wanted his princess back because he couldn’t take his throne without her.

Until a man walked into her bar one day, one who was frankly not a handsome prince.

He was the last man on Earth the princess should have fallen in love with.
