Release Blitz, Review & Giveaway: Surprise, Baby! by Lex Martin & Leslie McAdam

Title: Surprise, Baby!
Standalone Companion Novel to All About the D

Authors: Lex Martin & Leslie McAdam

Genre: Romantic Comedy/Adult Contemporary

Release Date: March 12, 2019

Blurb

There’s a fine line between lust and hate.

I don’t care that Drew Merritt spent the last year transforming himself from grungy slob to sexy playboy. With messy, dirty blond hair and gorgeous eyes, his looks aren’t the problem.

His mouth is.

And the stupid things that come out of it.

But after an emergency strands us together, and he does his damnedest to take care of me…

Let’s just say there’s one thing we don’t clash on.

And it doesn’t involve talking.

I’ve despised Drew since I met him years ago. One weekend can’t change us that much, can it?

Spoiler alert: It doesn’t.

Except he left me a little keepsake.

And in nine months, I’ll have a surprise for Portland’s most notorious player.

Review

4 stars for Surprise Baby!
This book was so fun and romantic! I haven’t read anything by this authors for a while so I was happy to get back into their worlds!

Kendall is a driven and successful business woman while Drew is a reformed party animal that has started to get his life in order. Drew as definitely not the party boy that Kendall imagined. I was happily surprised that he was super sweet and not a total douche.

They get brought together by their friends for a weekend getaway in a cabin that get’s interrupted by a storm and leaves these two alone all weekend. The classic snowed in story! They quickly find a fun and steamy way to pass the time and the weekend is over in no time. Their chemistry was amazing.

Once the weekend is over, the reality sets in when they realise what has happened and they have to find out how they can be more than just lovers.
The story of this couple is so fun it will have you laughing as you read. Their inner monologues, their banter and them figuring out their place in each others lives made this story so good. I loved seeing their evolution as a couple from enemies to people in love.

I highly recommend this if you’re looking for a fun read!

Release Blitz & Review: The Risk by Elle Kennedy

Get ready for another fun and flirty romance from New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy!

Bad girl Brenna Jensen would never date a hockey player. It’s too much of a risk, and not just because her hockey-coach father would kill her if she ever got involved with one. She’s been there, done that, not looking for a repeat. But a certain college player has gotten under her skin. He’s cocky, insolent and all about the games…and yet resisting him is getting harder and harder…

REVIEW

4.5 stars!! As always I fell in love with the characters that Elle Kennedy creates. Just when I think she can’t top one of her own characters she makes me fall for more.

I absolutely love the stories that Elle Kennedy writes and The Risk is no different. The Risk was such a funny, sexy and great read. I’ve always loved the enemies to lovers trope so reading Elle Kennedy’s take on it AND a fake dating element had me hooked right away. Who doesn’t love both of those tropes?

I loved Brenna and Jake, after their paths cross when Jake tries to warn her off one of his players, I was super intrigued on what would happen between the two and how it would happen. Their paths kept crossing even though they tried to act like they couldn’t stand each other. From reading the other book in the series, I could tell that there was chemistry between both of them and I was DYING to see how it all played out. Elle Kennedy didn’t disappoint. I loved every scene with them together.

This book also portrays the misogynistic views that are still around in the sports industry. We see Brenna have to face this and I think the way she handled it was great. I think Elle Kennedy faced this issue perfectly. I really loved seeing the women characters in this book trying to break this view. As well as this, the book deals with some things that happen in the characters pasts and how you put the blame for things that are totally out of control on yourself. I really loved how this was written in the book and it really put things in perspective for the characters and even myself.

As always, I’m in love with what Elle Kennedy has written and The Risk has definitely become one of my favourite books that she’s written. I just love everything about Brenna and Jake. I read this book in about 5 hours because I just could not put it down! I’m super excited for the next instalment and I am crossing my fingers and toes that the next book is going to be Hunters. I’m dying to read his story and see his happy ending play out because I think he deserves it after watching everything he’s gone through in this series.

I didn’t think I could love anything like I love the Off-Campus series but Briar U is coming close….

Release Blitz: We Shouldn't by Vi Keeland

A Standalone Contemporary Romance

#1 New York Times Bestselling Author Vi Keeland

SYNOPSIS:

Bennett Fox walked into my life on one hell of a crappy Monday morning. I was late for the first day at my new job—a job I’d now have to compete for even though I’d already worked eight years to earn it, because of an unexpected merger. While I lugged my belongings up to my new office, a meter maid wrote me a parking summons. She’d ticketed a long line of cars—except for the Audi parked in front of me, which happened to be the same make and model as mine. Annoyed, I decided to regift my ticket to the car that had evaded a fine. Chances were, the owner would pay it and be none the wiser. Except, I accidentally broke the windshield wiper while slipping the ticket onto the car’s window. Seriously, my day couldn’t get any worse. Things started to perk up when I ran into a gorgeous man in the elevator. We had one of those brief moments that only happened in movies. You know the deal…your body lights up, fireworks go off, and the air around you crackles with electricity. His heated stare left me flushed when I stepped off the elevator. Maybe things here wouldn’t be so bad after all. Or so I thought. Until I walked into my new boss’s office and met my competition. The gorgeous man from the elevator was now my nemesis. His heated stare wasn’t because of any mutual attraction. It was because he’d seen me vandalize his car. And now he couldn’t wait to annihilate his rival. There’s a fine line between love and hate—and we shouldn’t cross it. We shouldn’t—but straddling that line could be so much fun.
