 COVER REVEAL

Title: Overachiever

Series: Slumming It

Author: S.M. Shade

Release Date: January 28

Blurb: 

It started with a summer job and a ridiculous sex dream.

If you were to ask my friends to describe me, they’d tell you I’m an ambitious person. Responsible, driven, and focused on my goals. Words like stubborn and uptight would probably get thrown in there too. I’m not sure about that, but I know who I’m not.

I’m not the woman who lets a guy derail me from my plans. Watching others make that mistake has taught me well. No serious dating. No relationship until I’m successfully settled into my career. That’s the promise I made to myself and I’m determined to keep it.

Despite being an excellent student, there’s one lesson I fear I’ve learned too late. Funny men aren’t as harmless as they seem and should be avoided at all times. They sneak in under your radar and end up under your skirt. One second you’re laughing. The next you’re hunting for your underwear on a hotel room floor. Believe me, it’s not worth it.

If only my heart would stop screaming louder than my brain, I might be able to believe that Owen falls into that category. He’s my friend, but every day we spend together in this hotel, or working on our summer job building houses for charity, the harder it gets to convince myself we shouldn’t be more.

Years of diligence, and I’m being destroyed by a goofy smile

 LACES

By Tempi Lark

Release Date: January 7

Photo Credit: Michelle on Instagram @yourfavoritebookbag

Welcome to Hawthorne Asylum.

Welcome to hell. 

This place isn’t run by the doctors who make you talk or the orderlies who force you to swallow your pills. 

It belongs to them, to the Infamous Four. 

Tabloids, talk shows, documentaries—their faces have been plastered everywhere. Not because of their impressive rap sheets, but because of how they look. 

And when I arrive, they take notice. Especially their king: Lincoln “Laces” Caster. 

He’s dark and disturbed. 

He’s controlling and possessive.

Exactly the kind of boy I should stay away from if I want to clear my name and get out of here. 

* This is an upper-YA bully/dark romance not intended for readers under seventeen. This book may contain triggers for some readers.

Review:

So what do you do when your dog wakes you up early because she gets in the trash? Grab your kindle and cosy up with an arc of course!
I love Meagan's books. And Fumbled Future is no different. It takes you back to the world of the Tender Hearts series. It is a standalone short story, but characters from Fumbled Hearts and Defenseless Hearts DO make an appearance, and it is worth reading both books before this.
This follows Mia and Austin. Mia is staying with her cousin Kalani and her man Nate, when her ex Austin shows up in the worst way imaginable. Old feelings immerge, as memories surface and even though they fumbled their future together before, they must now decide if they are all in, or if it's all in the past.
This story was short, sweet and sexy. Mia and Austin found each other again, but not under the best circumstances. Mia was feisty. She was great friends with her cousin Kalani. She was fun, and hard working. Austin was sweet and sexy and perfect for Mia. This story was cute, and a nice great short story, perfect to read before bed, or first thing in the morning.
So if you love Meagan Brandy's books or are new to her, this is a great sweet story, in an anthology with other great authors! So grab your copy when it releases and enjoy these sweet and sexy stories! 5 ⭐ out of 5 ⭐.

Review: Queen of Night

Title: Queen of Night
Series: Thorne Hill series
Author: Emily Goodwin
Release Date: June 25

Heaven wants to kill me. Hell wants me to rule. So what’s a girl to do when powerful forces on both sides are clambering to get their hands on me?

Stay as far away from the cosmic drama as I possibly can.

Though, for those who know me, they know it’s easier said than done. But I’ve promised to take a break, to lay low, to let someone else handle the demons for a while. It’s not just my life on the line right now, and a nice long nine months off sounds pretty freaking nice.

And all is actually good until a new gang of supernaturals show up, wanting to claim Thorne Hill as their own. Like I have time for that. But the more they press, the more I realize I might have to accept a role I never wanted to in order to save not only myself, but my beloved town.

For there can only be one ruler of the night, and all hail the Witch Queen.

Holy mother of everything supernatural!!! Can I say that I loved this book? I know I have said that about this entire series but I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! So what does that mean for you? READ THE SERIES. Right now! Don't even wait! Seriously. What more could you want?
Hot vampires? ✅
Powerful witches? ✅
Romance, and sex? ✅
Fighting off demons? ✅
Saving the world? ✅
Found- family? ✅
Urban Fantasy? ✅
Seriously, these books are flipping amazing! There is soooooo much within them. If you love witches, vampires, paranormal romance, urban fantasy and everything in between, then GRAB THESE BOOKS. ( Bonus: Book 1 is currently FREE! Grab Dead of Night here !!)
Anyways, I don't even know what to even SAY without giving off spoilers for this series, SO if you haven't started it yet, or aren't caught up ADVERT YOUR EYES. DO IT. RIGHT NOW. STOP READING- and START this series today (OR catch up, now!)

Heaven wants to kill Callie, and Hell, wants her to rule. So what is a girl to do, with all-powerful beings on both sides trying to get her hands on her? Stay as far away from the celestial drama as possible. Easier said then done for Callie. She has been a beacon of trouble for as long as she can remember. But she has promised to take a break and lay low from fighting demons. And what better time then now? After all, its not just Callie's life on the line... Except, when a gang of supernatural beings tries to claim Thorne Hill as their own, Callie can't just sit back and do nothing. She may just have to accept a role that she has never wanted, not only to save herself but her town- and the world. Again.

SO as I have stated multiple times, I absolutely LOVE Callie and Lucas. Seriously. I will not get tired of them. Their story can go on forever and I would absolutely devour every single book. And this book is no different.
Callie is still badass and amazing. She has been through soooo much, and each time she comes out victorious and so much stronger. She is a demon-slaying not-your-ordinary- witch. She is more powerful than any other witch- and instead of being power-hungry and taking over, she uses her power to not only look after herself, and her makeshift family- BUT also the town, and yes the freaking world. She can do pretty much anything.
Lucas is one of the oldest and most powerful vampires in the world. With age comes more power- yet he still kept his humanity in tact. He is protective of the few people he actually likes and trusts in his life, and will do anything for them. He's not afraid to bend- or even break- the rules for those he cares about.
Talk about power couple. Between Lucas and Callie- the two are practically unstoppable- which is precisely why it seems the whole world- including heaven and hell- is out to get them. If it's not one thing, it's another, and sometimes it doesn't seem there is an end in sight. Callie and Lucas have fought tooth and nail to get exactly where they are- with many, many speed bumps along the way. And when it finally seems they can get exactly what they want in life, another curve ball is thrown their way. Will they be able to survive this, or have they finally met their match?
I am dying to get my hands on the next book- to read even more about Callie and Lucas. 5 Witch Queen ⭐'s out of 5 ⭐.

Review: Be My Brayshaw

Title: Be My Brayshaw

Series: Brayshaw Series

Author: Meagan Brandy

Release Date: June 3rd

Synopsis:

“Cross one, cross all.”

That’s the Brayshaw way.

She should have realized this before sliding into our world with secrets too big to bury.

She didn’t and now the target is on her back.

The day her lies came crashing down, I should have forced her out.

Instead, I locked her in, and with the promise I would never be hers.

I resisted, fought against us.

I caved.

I tasted what became my newfound favorite flavor and fell hard for the little liar.

But then the depth of her treachery reveals itself, and with it a reminder.

Our town is a twisted place, and with truth comes trouble.

In the blink of an eye, my world is split at its core, and I’m faced with an impossible decision, one that leads to a single outcome...

Betrayal.

OMG OMG OMG!! Where do I even start with this book?!

I stayed up late to finish it, and it brought out so many emotions that I couldn't think straight to write this review. And now? Now that it has been hours since, and I got some sleep... I still can't think straight to write this review. 😂😂 But I'm going to try...

Captain has always been the quiet one, of the three Brayshaw's. He see's things, and is the thinker of the bunch. He is always steps ahead of the rest of the town. Except where Victoria is concerned. She knows more than even Captain, sees more. She deals in secrets, about the town, and about the Brayshaws. And if you cross one, you cross them all. Those secrets led to her having a target on her back. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer. But where does Victoria fall? With truth comes trouble, and with it, Captain is faced with an impossible decision. One that leads to a single outcome... Betrayal.

First this book CAN be read as a standalone, BUT it entwines with the first three Brayshaw books, so even though they DON'T need to be read, they SHOULD be.

Next, I have loved Captain since the beginning. I wanted to get a peak inside his head- know even more about him, and Meagan Didn't disappoint. He is Brayshaw- part of a family that runs deeper than blood. He is a protector- always taking care of and looking out for the others of his family. He is constantly in his head- watching, seeing, learning. He's strong, silent, loyal to a fault, and speaks with purpose. But, he is faced with an impossible decision, that has him second guessing himself. Can he make the right choice? Or will his world come crashing down?

Victoria is known as a liar. She deals in secrets. Much like Captain, she is always seeing, watching, and learning. She knows things about everyone in town. Including the Brayshaws. Which makes her a threat. She can't be trusted. Trust has to be earned, and so does a place with the Brayshaws. And when the truth comes out, it leads to trouble. I loved learning more about Victoria. Like Captain in some ways. She's strong, and silent, and watches the world around her. But she doesn't have what Captain does. She doesn't have a family to call her own- to look out for her. She is on her own, which means she doesn't have loyalty to the boys.

This book! I love the Brayshaws. with their loyalty to one another. They always stand together, look out for and protect one another, and nothing can get between them. They fight for what is right, not just from theirselves, but for their town as well. They are family in all the ways that matter. And you don't just fall in love with them, but you love them all for everything- the good, the bad, and everything in between. They are more than just the rulers of the school- they are the Kings of the Town. If there is a problem, they try to solve it. But what are they to do if the problem resides with them? How do they stand up against someone who is sleeping down the hall from them? Captain and Victoria's story will leave you breathless, and wanting more. It will pull at your heart strings, and have your stomach in knots. It twists you up, before soothing the soul. It was sweet, and crazy, and everything Brayshaw. 5 Thorn and Ivy ⭐'s out of 5 ⭐. I cannot wait to see what the next book brings!

Review: Titan

Title: Titan
Series: The Dark Kings
Author: Shantel Tessier
Release Date: May 29

👑𝐓𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐍👑
I know I have a black soul. Bloodshed and danger are what I live for.

A King is supposed to rule his Kingdom using any means necessary to demand respect.

I’m not a weak man… A King kneels to no one.

I’ve only ever cared about one other person in my life, but the thing is, she never belonged to me. And before I could tell her how I felt, she left.

Now she’s returned, needing someone to save her.

Emilee York was always meant to be mine, and I’ll see to it that happens. I always get what I want, even if that means I have to take it.

And she’s no different. She’ll be my queen, one way or the other.

👑𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐄👑
When I left Sin City behind me, I had no plans to return. I avoided everyone, even my friends, to stay in my bubble. I’ve always been the kind to pull away and run when things get difficult.

But one phone call changed everything, and I was racing back. If only I had known what was waiting for me.

Titan reappeared like a ghost haunting me.

One look and I knew he recognized me. I never forgot him or what we shared. Those feelings that no one else knew existed between us.

I ignored them back then, but now they are more intense than ever.

“Get on your knees…” He demanded I kneel for him.

I tried to act like he didn’t affect me, but he knew. He remembered the way I reacted when he would touch me. And just like he was taught to do—he used my weaknesses against me.

He staked his claim, and I became his queen to use how he saw fit.

What makes it worse is that I crave him, and when I kneeled, it was willingly.

But was it for nothing?

🖤Titan is the first book in the Dark Kings Series. They can each be read as standalones. You are introduced to the Kings in Code of Silence.🖤

Oh my goodness! I don't even know where to begin!!
Titan is one of the four Kings who rule over Kingdom, in the heart of Las Vegas. Danger and Bloodshed is what he lives for. And a King will use any means necessary to demand respect. Show no weakness. Kneel for no one. Not even Emilee York, the one girl who he actually cared about. She was never his to begin with. But now that she's back in town, Titan will make sure that she becomes his queen, one way or another.
Emilee had no plans of returning back to the city, but one phone call has her racing back. And just like a ghost from her past, haunting her, Titan appears back in her life, and with just one look, she knows he recognized her. She never forgot him, or what she shared. Or the feelings she had. She may have ignored him back then, but now that he rules over the city, it's harder then ever.
"Get on your knees..." He demanded of her. And just like he was taught to do, he used her weaknesses against her. He staked his claim, and she became his queen as he saw fit. Emilee kneeled willingly, but was it all for nothing?
Titan is a dark romance standalone, and book one in the Dark King's series by Shantel. But you first meet these characters in Code of Silence. Titan is one of the four dark kings. He is one of the rulers over the Kingdom in Las Vegas- a well known hot spot, that is more than just a casino and hotel - making him worth billions. But with such high stakes, also comes danger and even blood shed. If you try to cross one of the Kings, you will wind up regretting your decision. The Kings are ruthless, and have connections. And will stop at nothing to get what they want. And Titan has his eyes set on Emilee. The girl he has cared for, for years, even when she wasn't his. But now? Now there is no one standing in his way of making her his queen.
When Emilee finds herself back in Las Vegas for the first time in years she can't help the intense attraction to Titan. She may have been able to ignore him before, but now he runs an empire, and in untouchable. And now, he wants to make her kneel, just for him. But she has more than just her past haunting her. Emilee may just do something stupid and run away for good, despite how she feels about Titan.
I loved Titan. He is powerful, rich, and ruthless. He has had feelings for Emilee for years but couldn't act upon them, because she was taken. But now that she's back in town, he will stop at nothing to make her his.
Emilee came back into town, and my be in more trouble then she bargained for, and not just because she ran into the Dark Kings again. She's determined to try to get out of it, on her own. But that proves tougher than she expected. With no other choice, she asks the Dark Kings for help. But everything comes at a price. Is Emilee willing to pay it to get the help she needs?
I loved the back and forth between Titan and Em. He knew exactly what he wanted- her. She may have needed convincing, but the scenes between them were on fire. And I definitely would have loved more! Titan and Em were definitely HOT together. This book had the hot sex, the passion, the danger and the twists. It was dark, and sexy, and definitely will leave you satisfied. I can't wait to see what the other Dark Kings have in store. 5 ruthless⭐'s out of 5 ⭐.
