New Releases

 




So these past few weeks have been stressful, and I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up with the new releases, but in the midst of doing the holidays and birthdays October 1 thru to February 1st is usually the busiest time for me. But I will be trying to keep this updated as much as possible. (I will do a couple week's worth of new releases in this post, if you want a full month's worth, be sure to check out my new release's page here for anything you may have missed: New Releases | NatashaReadsBooks (natashareadsbooksbookblog.blogspot.com) )


Title: Ruined Castles

Series: Elite Kings Club

Author: Amo Jones

Release Date: December 31

Blurb:


Nothing is going to make sense once you flip open this first chapter. You’re going to wonder why the fuck I made the decisions I did. Why he did what he did. I’m not going to make this easy for you. I’m going to guide you through loops that you’re going to wish I had just skipped, but I’m not going to do that either. You’re going to feel my pain, my loss, and my heart breaking in my chest. You’re going to watch me trip and fall, and get back up again. You’re going to wish you could slap the shit out of Bishop and me, but among all… I’m going to take you back to when I left the love of my life, and ran.
This is an open letter to you.
Good luck.

Title Beyond the Play
Series: Out Of Reach
Author: Kaylee Ryan
Release Date: January 4


BLURB


Parker 

Of all the hot guys in the club, of course I find myself tangled up with a baseball player. Our chemistry is out of the park, igniting as his athletic body moves next to mine. 

I know exactly who he is, but the infamous Holden Bailey has no idea who I am, or my connection to the team. I prefer it that way. I give in to one dance with Holden and send him home alone. 

He can have any woman he wants, but for some reason, he wants me. His pursuit is relentless. He wrote the playbook on being a player, though. Giving in could cost me my heart.

Holden 

I thought getting traded to the Blaze was life changing, but it’s nothing compared to meeting Parker Monroe. From the moment she bumps into me on the crowded dance floor, I can’t tear my eyes away.

She’s gorgeous, intelligent, and definitely not interested. At least not in the player the media portrays me to be. I need to convince her that with her, I’m authentic, and what we have is the real thing. Game on. 

When the truth gets twisted, it looks like I’m playing her. But she has it all wrong. The way I feel about Parker is beyond the play. She’s my end game.





Title: Scarred
Series: Never After
Release Date: January 4



BLURB:

Once Upon A Time,

there was a king who passed.

The older of the two was set to take the throne.

But before he could, he had to find a queen to call his own.

The younger one was known to be unruly and unhinged.

The chosen queen was warned to keep far away from him.

Beautiful and cunning, in the light is where she stayed.

But late at night it was the shadowed lands in which she played.

Mistakes were made and secrets forged; forgetting duty and her sense.

And while the new king had her hand,

her heart belonged to the scarred prince.

BLURB


As a Christian counselor, I strive for integrity in helping guide others in God’s will for their lives.

Until a young man walks into my office for premarital counseling—the stranger who ensnared my soul eight months earlier with his bewitching green eyes.

Levi Townson.

The one whose addictive, luscious mouth I can’t cleanse from my memory.

My hunger for another taste of him should assure me of my need for a savior, not shepherd me down the rabbit hole toward depravity.

Levi’s yearnings mirror mine, the kind that dominates my will. Incinerates and leaves me powerless against my sinful nature.

But if we fall from grace, neither of us will escape unscathed.

Series: Boston Hawks Hockey
Author: Gina Azzi

BLURB


Theodore Edward Sims was supposed to be my hot summer hook-up, a stranger I slept with in Hawaii. Now, he's my stepbrother's new hockey teammate. 

When we met, Theo was a sexy surfer in Maui, riding waves by day and rocking my world at night. After being played for a fool by my ex-fiancé, Theo proved to be a source of instant gratification.

He was refreshingly honest, engaging, and incredibly charming. Theo built me up when it felt like my world was crumbling down.

Turns out, he's just like my ex. A liar.

To avoid the gossip of my failed engagement, I hightail it to Boston, where I'm forced to cross paths with a new version of Theo, aka Eddie Sims, Boston Hawks right wing. Here, he isn't the well-connected, alluring surfer but a determined, angry hockey hunk with something to prove. Especially to me.

Except I've written him off. Once a liar, always a liar.

But Theo isn't backing down. Instead, he's hustling for my forgiveness. If I give him another chance, will he live up to his apologies? Or am I just lying to myself?

This soccer star has one night to win it all…or risk losing everything.


Ben Prescott


By most people’s standards, I’ve got it pretty good. I have a lucrative job playing my favorite game in the world: soccer. I get to live in my favorite city: Austin, Texas. I basically have it all. Except the woman I love. Why, you ask? Because she's my baby sister's best friend.


But when Stella and I both end up at my family’s lakeside cabin for New Year’s Eve, some secrets just can’t be kept forever. Especially when she shares some of her own. I won’t allow this curvy goddess to believe she’s undesirable when I all I ever want to do is pull her close.

Bestselling author Staci Hart tows you along that thin line between love and hate in a brand new steamy box set featuring three romantic comedies never before seen in Kindle Unlimited.

Bet The Farm
The brooding farmhand has inherited exactly fifty percent of Brent Farm, and he’s so convinced the lactose intolerant, sunshiny city girl can’t work the land, he bets she can’t save it in a summer. When mysterious circumstances throw the farm into disarray, Olivia and Jake have to work together. But when they do, there’s more to fear than either of them imagined. Because now their hearts are on the line, and the farm won’t be the only casualty if they fail.

Pride and Papercuts (Inspired by Pride and Prejudice)
She can be civil and still hate Liam Darcy, but if she finds there’s more to him than his exterior shows, she might stumble over that line between love and hate and fall right into his arms.

For Love Or Honey
When the dark and devilish suit from the oil company comes into their small town looking to acquire the mineral rights to their bee farm, she’s certain the only trouble she’ll have is how fast to run him out of town. Too bad that's the least of her worries, because her heart has a mind of its own.

Cruel. Savage. Heartless. A few of many words that are whispered behind palms as I pass. A long, long time ago I stopped caring what other people thought of me and started embracing their fear. Fear is power. Fear is motivation.

My ex leaving me might have shattered my heart—If I wasn’t secretly in love with his brother.
It’s forbidden, but it’s hard to deny the connection the two of us have always shared…
Especially when he’s thrust back into my life and working alongside my band as our photographer.
And did I mention—My ex is back, too…And he’s our newest security detail.

𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐈𝐃

Declan has always been off-limits. I may have seen her first—But my brother, Kade, laid his claim on her when we were still in high school.
I never meant to fall in love with her. I’ve always done right by my brother, refusing to make a move on her, even after he left her without so much as a goodbye.
But being back in Chicago and working with her? There’s not a damn chance I’ll stay away from her this time.
I’ll give it to him. Kade has impeccable timing. He’s back and threatening to ruin my second chance with her before it even gets started—

Title: Binding Rose
Mafia Wars Novel
Author: Ivy Fox
Release Date: January 7
Purchase Link:



BLURB

I was sold to my enemies.

You would think that being forced into a loveless marriage to ensure an alliance would be unheard of in this day and age. And in most cases, you would be correct in that assumption.

But not for me.

A cartel princess has no vote on who she can or cannot marry—much less love.

Any decision in my life was forfeited just by being born into the most powerful Mexican cartel there is.

Still, it does sting that I’m to be hand-delivered to the Irish mob and marry into the Kelly family, who my own brother has coined to be nothing more than bloodthirsty savages.

They’re animals, Rosa. Filthy, unscrupulous, vicious animals.

Those were his exact words, yet he still followed our father’s orders to walk me down the aisle, making sure I didn’t run from my obligation.

As if that was even an option.

All my choices were stolen away from me the minute I became another pawn to be used and abused at the hands of evil men.

Which leaves me to question…

Can a rose blossom in the dark?

Or will I have to rely on my thorns to protect me against the fate that’s been bestowed upon me?

Only time will tell if I’ll survive this cursed life or become another lost soul in these cruel and merciless Mafia Wars.

*Binding Rose is a full-length reverse harem novel in the dark and twisted Mafia Wars world.

*Recommended 18+ due to mature language, adult situations and sensitive content.

But if I want closure, I'm going to have to face him again. And this time it won't be me on knees — it'll be him.
Kane
Ten years ago, Grace Clemente ran away with my heart.
Grabbed it and took off without so much as a backward glance. I could have followed the same downward spiral of my life into complete destruction, but I chose to fix my mistakes.

Title: The Summer Proposal
Author: Vi Keeland
Release Date: January 10

BLURB


The first time I met Max Yearwood was on a blind date. 

Max was insanely gorgeous, funny, and our chemistry was off the charts. He also had the biggest dimples I’d ever laid eyes on. 

Exactly what I needed after my breakup. 

Or so I thought… 

Until my real date arrived.  

Turned out, Max wasn’t who I was there to meet. He only pretended to be until my real date showed up. 

To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. 

Before he left, he slipped me a ticket to a hockey game a few blocks away, in case things didn’t work out on my actual date. 

I tossed the ticket into my purse and went about trying to enjoy the man I was supposed to meet. 

But my real blind date and I had no connection. 

So on my way home, I decided to take a chance and stop by the game. 

When I arrived, the seat next to me was empty. 

Disappointed again, I decided to leave at the end of the period. 

Just before the buzzer, one of the teams scored, and the entire arena went crazy. 

A player’s face flashed up on the Jumbotron. He was wearing a helmet, but I froze when he smiled. 

You guessed it: Dimples. 

Apparently, my fake blind date hadn’t invited me to watch hockey with him, he’d invited me to watch him play. 

And so began my adventure with Max Yearwood. 

He was everything I needed at the time—fun, sexy, up for anything, and only around for a few months since he’d signed with a new team three-thousand miles away.   

Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldn’t get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right? 

Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans.

BLURB 


My parents raised me to believe in magic.

They showered me with love and told me tales of unicorns and princesses

What they should have done is warn me about monsters.

I wanted the fairytale

And for one perfect moment, I thought I had it

But that was before my husband became a monster

Before he hurt me, before he hurt others

And then he died

Leaving me defenseless amid the chaos he created.

Escaping my cage with broken wings just left me vulnerable to predators

My innocence didn’t matter. Nobody cared that I had paid for my mistakes with blood, scars, and broken bones.

I was guilty by association, and somebody had to be held accountable

After all, every fairytale needs a villain; I just didn’t expect it to be me.

Now with nowhere else to go, I hide with the one person who can keep me safe.

They say that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

So why do I feel like I survived a monster only to end up in the arms of the devil himself?

BLURB:
                                       
      "You got married on your divorce-cation?"

That would unfortunately be correct.

I was hanging with the girls, celebrating my divorce when I saw him, my crush, sitting in the corner of the bar all alone. Being single and looking for a wild night, I asked him if he wanted to join me. To my delight, he said yes.

Drinks were consumed, fun was had and then . . . one drunken conversation with a cranky gondolier in Las Vegas led to an Uber lift through a drive-thru wedding chapel with the incredibly hot, British bad boy, Pike Greyson.

On paper, it seemed like I hit the jackpot. And if I wasn't fresh from a toxic marriage, I would have absolutely noticed the finer things about him.

But I wanted nothing to do with being married, so when I arrived back home from my eventful weekend in Vegas, the last thing I expected to see was a new doting husband already moved in.

I asked for an annulment, he pulled a Ross Geller and said no.

That's right, he said NO! Instead, he asked for three months to prove we could be good together.

Insanity clearly knocked him in the head and the only way I could convince him to give up on our sham of a marriage was to show him just how wrong we were for each other. Only problem with that was, he saw right through my every prank, every trick, and every yearning emotion I attempted to mask.

Sara was the beautiful, intriguing best friend of my boss's mate. She was off-limits, which was no problem for me. Relationships between humans and fallen angels never worked out. I could desire her from afar and never touch, telling myself that a future was impossible.

But when she was saved from death by an angel's healing powers, Sara became the carrier of an angel's mark. Now she's a target of both celestials and demons, and she doesn't even know it.
It’s been millennia since I felt so strongly for a woman, and I don't know if it’s even possible for a tormented soul like me to be happy. But I know I can’t let the demons get their hands on her—even if it means breaking my vow and forfeiting my life to the demon prince I pledged my soul to for the next year.

Can I resist the pull of her angelic mark and stay away from her, or will I be drawn to her like a moth to a burning flame that threatens to engulf us both in its hellfire?

Torment of the Fallen is a devilishly steamy, fated mates paranormal romance with a mafia twist. This is book 4 in the Dark Fallen Angels series (but it is an addition to the original trilogy), it’s a full-length novel, and it ends with a HEA.

All he’s ever wanted is my happiness,

even when it costs him his own.”

Holden Eastwood is resentful. Angry. But most of all, hurt.

Torn to pieces by the girl who left him, he struggles to find forgiveness in the organ she once broke.

When a tragedy forces them to face the aftermath, Jamie seeks acceptance, while Holden searches for answers.

What they find, instead, are remnants of their love.

Fragments of forever.

And parts of a puzzle that will lead them to the truth…

A truth that might shatter them to pieces.

He’s the persistent playboy who refuses to walk away.
I’m the impassive new girl with nothing left to give.

Things are about to get complicated...

After months of refusing, I finally agreed to make the move to Alrick Falls.
My family thought it was best - that a new scene would be good for me - and I was sick of having the same conversation.
So here I am, and the plan is simple.

Smile through each day and avoid her at all costs. It's perfect.
Until the cocky quarterback comes into play.

The last thing I want is his crooked grin and dark brown eyes focused on me. Yet here he is, constantly in my space, pushing me, daring me to care. Telling me what I think and feel, as if he knows.

He doesn’t know anything.
And I plan to keep it that way.

Defenseless Hearts

After months of silence, here she stands on my front porch, waiting to be let in again.
But it's the same play every time, and I know how this ends - I give her all I have and she carries it with her on the way back to him.

I should turn her away, but I won't. Couldn't do it if I tried.

Because no matter how many times she pops back up, pulls me in and drags me under, it will never be enough.
I'll always want more.

More of her.
More for us.

And she'll always choose him.

I broke his heart once.
Now ... he's breaking mine.

The capo de capi, the greatest king of all time, forces Luca to marry me—his defiant daughter.

Watch her, he commands of Luca. Control her and make her obey the family motto: loyalty above all else.

After my father died young, I knew I had to take the helm in a firm hand, and I built a solid reputation for the Mariano name—too good of a reputation. Now I had the Vegas police force breathing down my neck like never before. Could anyone blame me for wanting to let off some steam?

I owned a lot of clubs, but Masquerade was my favorite. A place for me to unwind and feel completely in control outside of the dangerous world I ruled. The club’s promise of anonymity was an added bonus, and when I finally found the perfect woman, my Kitten… well, it made blowing off steam more fun than ever before.

BLURB


When you grow up in Home, WA, the road always leads you to… well, home.


I’m Bartlett Rough, and I’ve never left the mountain where I was raised with my six brothers and sisters. Cheesy as it may sound, Home really is where the heart is.


But we’re all growing up, building cabins of our own, taking claim of our land. Things are changing.


I feel that more than ever, when the winter winds sweep Abby into town.

This wild, fierce beauty is everything I’m not.


I own the hardware store, know everyone in this town by name, and am expected to settle down with someone local.


Abby tumbled into town on a train, with nothing to her name, clutching her dog Hijinx, and holding onto her memory of Home from when she came through here years ago.


I’ve played it safe my whole damn life.

After one night with Abby, I have someone to fight for.

A reason to risk it all.


But falling for her has no guarantees -- she could leave as fast as she came, taking my heart along with her.


Coming Home to the Mountain is a new filthy-sweet, high heat series by Frankie Love featuring rugged mountain men who fall hard, fast and forever. And with the women they love at their side, they choose to put family first. 


In this series, Dad shows up, sister’s remember to call, big brother’s always look out for you, and Mom knows to keep an extra seat at the table for Sunday dinner. Not every family is perfect -- and the Rough family has its own set of problems -- but at the end of the day, they know what matters: Coming Home.

As the hockey league’s star goalie, I live by three simple principles:

1. Keep a pristine image.

2. Work hard on the ice.

3. Don’t piss off the bosses…too much.

I was killing it until a mishap tarnished my image. Now, management has me cleaning up my reputation and coaching a bunch of kids. And damn, those little punks are growing on me, and so is the program coordinator, Kendra.

I’m hellbent on proving myself, but my attraction to Kendra takes me by complete surprise.

Her defenses are up, but I like a good challenge.

From Wall Street Journal & USA Bestselling Author M. Robinson & #1 NYT Bestselling Author Rachel Van Dyken comes two full length, standalone romantic suspense novels

MAFIA CASANOVA

Trust.
Loyalty.
Family.
The tangled web of mafia life.
We grew up together. Me, Eden, my brother Tristian.
He was always the safe bet, the sure thing, the good guy.
And me? Well, I was the Casanova, the killer who flirted with anyone and anything, breaking Eden’s heart again and again.

We both loved her.
Mind.
Body.
Soul.
Until I gifted her to my brother as if she meant nothing, when she meant everything to me.
Tristian was safer.
Better.
Could give her the life I never would be able to.

But things changed.
We changed.

My only goal was to protect her, making her hate me in return. Except once my brother wasn’t standing between us anymore, I decided…

It was my turn to claim what had always been MINE to begin with.

FALLING FOR THE VILLAIN

“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 bowed before my feet. 

Have you ever wondered what happened to the villains in all the fairy tales you read?
You’ll soon find out.

It all started when he kidnapped me and made me his pet.
And it all ended with me…

Calling him master. 

*This story is not for the faint of heart and may be uncomfortable for some readers. But, then again, stepping outside of your comfort zone may be exactly the thing you need…
