Release Blitz - Unforgivable by Isabel Love




Title: Unforgivable
Author: Isabel Love
Genre: New Adult Romance
Release Date: April 26, 2018



Blurb

There are certain things that are unforgivable…
Falling for your brother’s best friend is one of them.

That isn’t the worst thing I’ve done, though.
Not even close.

Shame and guilt follow me everywhere.
Except when I’m with him.

With him, I can breathe again.
Smile again. Love again.

But he has no idea what I've done...


How on earth is Unforgivable only Isabel Love’s third book cause damn she knocked it out of the park. I was introduced to Anna and Wes in Unconventional but Unforgivable can easily be read as a standalone.
I really appreciate Isabel Love for switching it up this time around. Whereas her two previous books were very sexy Unforgivable is a delicious slow burn romance with well developed characters and sensitive topics.

While reading I could easily feel how much this story means to the author. Her attention and care for her characters and important topics shows and most importantly it feels. Through her words. I hurt, swooned and cheered along with Anna and Wes thanks to her strong and flawless prose.

Anna and Wes. These two flawed characters captured my heart immediately. I love how this story is constructed cause it’s the reason why I connected so strongly with Anna and Wes as I did. Their friendship is one of kind, extraordinary and sweet. Wes is swoon worthy in every sense of the word. Wow how I love this man. His devotion and love for Anna blew me away numerous times. His determination to reach his goals in life is awe inspiring. Anna made my heart break because of the shame and guilt she felt for certain choices she made. Her and Wes’ fight back towards forgiveness and acceptance was definitely a highlight.
Their road towards a relationship as lovers is long filled with mistakes and losses but it’s also a road where they are each other’s confidants and loyal support. They help each other out in a way not even Anna’s brother or parents can. Their bond is truly unique thanks to their shared history since they were twelve and fourteen years old.
The secondary characters are fabulous. I love Anna’s brother John and their parents. They play a crucial part in Wes’ life and become a family to him. Also Anna’s friends Christy and Desirae add some laughs to the story which I enjoyed.

The epilogue was spot on and gave the characters the closure they deserved. I couldn’t be happier. I expected Unforgivable to be an angsty slow burn romance and it most definitely was and again it was so much more. Unforgivable is the perfect childhood friends to lovers with an emotional storyline. It hit the mark for me big time. Isabel Love’s third book is a homerun.

Excerpt

“Would you mind keeping this piece steady while I attach it?” he asks, interrupting my reverie.
“No problem.” I take my position opposite him, holding the piece of trim in place against the dresser as he drills screws into the underside so that they remain hidden from view. It’s like magic.
I study him as he works.
He tilts his head this way and that to make sure the piece is level before he starts. Then, he lifts the drill, and taut muscles shine with sweat as he drives each screw into the boards with purpose. His forearms flex and jump with every movement. And his tattoo calls my eye to follow the bumps and dips of his biceps and triceps.
Wesley Scott is a perfectly sculpted specimen of man. He’s strong. Confident. Capable.
He catches me staring and winks, rewarding me with his rare, crooked grin. I feel myself flush as I quickly look away, totally busted.
No, I don’t mind helping him one bit.

Excerpt

His wide, warm palm grazed her lower back as they wove their way through the tables to the exit. They crossed over the water garden in silence, slowing as they reached a fork in the path. 
“Which way?” Deacon asked. “I’ll walk you back.” 
“That’s sweet, but you really don’t have to. It’s a five-star resort, not downtown Los Angeles.”
Deacon kept walking. “True. But you know, I took you to dinner and all.” 
She arched a brow at him. “It’s also an all-inclusive resort. Maybe I took you.” 
“Maybe you did.” 
He flashed her that slightly lopsided grin that hit her right in the chest. She conceded to the walk, and together, they followed the brick path. The resort was dark, but lights along the sidewalk lit the path and shined up the skinny gray trunks of the swaying palms. It was quiet, and when they didn’t pass even one other person, she was glad he was walking her back. 
She slowed as they came to the breezeway leading to her building and pointed up the steps to the second floor. “I’m up there, so…”
Deacon started up the steps. “I’ll walk you to the door. I’m funny like that.” 
She probably should have said no, insisted that she could make it to her door on her own. Because of course she could. But she didn’t insist, just followed enormously glad she’d removed the HONEYMOON banner from her door. 
They reached her room, and she turned to face him. Just the two of them now, up here, alone at her door. She felt a slight buzzing in her head that had nothing to do with alcohol.
“Well, Clare of the here and now.”
She rolled her eyes at the reminder of her earlier word-vomit ramble. “It was nice to meet you.” She stuck out her hand, hoping it wasn’t sweaty. 
“It was nice to meet you, too.” 
It didn’t feel like a simple handshake as he wrapped his fingers around hers. “I had fun tonight. You turned what might have been a horrible night into something surprisingly nice.” 
“I’m glad.” 
“Thank you for catching me and saving my top and for dinner and talking and…” And maybe she could stoptalking. 
“You’re welcome.”
A frog gave a low croak, and another answered, but she figured the pounding of her heart was louder. 
The buzzing in her head grew louder, and she felt dizzy from looking into his eyes and staring at his lips because she wanted him to kiss her. She wanted to feel those smooth, firm lips on hers, to taste him and feel his arms around her.I'm losing my mind.
“You’re beautiful,” he said. “I’ve been wanting to say that all night.” He lifted his hand and lightly brushed his thumb over her cheek.
Then he leaned in, and she moved. Just…moved. In and up, her fingers twisting in the front of his shirt. She was just falling into the taste of him, just getting that warm, tingling flood of a first kiss when her brain fully registered that he’d been leaning in to kiss her cheek. 
“I’m sorry.” She swallowed hard, felt a stinging heat flooding into her cheeks, and wished desperately to disappear. Deacon was staring at her in complete confusion. That made two of them. “I’m… really sorry.” 
She spun to her door. A stiff wind sang through the open-air hallway, slapping her hair across her eyes. How she got her key in the lock, she had no idea. Mumbling one more apology over her shoulder, she opened the door and closed it behind her. She stood, heart pounding in mortification, her lips buzzing. 
The champagne glasses and fruit and cheese tray had been cleared. The bed had been turned back, and the damn swans were back, nestled in the center of the bed and kissing right on their terrycloth lips.

Our relationship was a sin, they said, but how can it be a sin to love so deeply? She shouldn’t have listened to them. Shouldn’t have left us behind. You can’t help whom you love, and without Silvina, I didn't give a damn. A mafia prince without a cause is a rebel with nothing to lose. My brother owned an adult entertainment studio. He wanted me nowhere near it. Thankfully, his competition did. I auditioned. Landed a contract. It's how I took my sins to a new level, my up-yours to la famiglia. Until Silvina was kidnapped, and my world was thrown upside down.
 

About the Author:
I'm a lover of everything beautifully written no matter the genre. As an author, I pen flawed characters. I seek the flip side where the soul hides, and once there, I want to be pulled out of my comfort zone by stories that take on a life of their own. I've committed paranormal and young adult books. I've done contemporary romance verging on erotica, and I've dabbled in supernatural mystery. But my heart is anchored in new adult of the true kind: unapologetic young adult that's all grown up, with conflicts and passions familiar to college-aged readers and people who remember those days like they happened last night.

Release Blitz - One Good Man by Emma Scott

       
It’s spring, 1970. The Vietnam War has been raging for years with no end in sight. Janey Martin, a California college student and aspiring journalist is tired of writing puff pieces about her university men’s sports teams. She wants to be taken seriously as a journalist and as a woman. With riots at their doorstep, her wealthy father sends Janey to the Sorbonne in Paris to finish her college education away from the chaos. Janey is reluctant to leave the Big Story that is Vietnam, but vows to prove herself. Much to her dismay, her first assignment is to interview the hotshot star forward of a local soccer team. Janey is sure Adrien Rousseau is going to be like every other playboy jock she’s ever dealt with, but quickly learns there is much more to Adrien than meets the eye. The mysterious, sexy footballer just might be the biggest story of Janey’s life.

 I reached over and pushed ‘stop’ on Janey’s tape recorder and turned to her. “Saturday then?” She coughed in surprise. “What happens Saturday?” “We conclude the interview. You need to see a football match firsthand or your article is going to sound like a bunch of amateurish gibberish. You want to be taken seriously?” She pressed her lips together for a moment. “Yes.” “So do I. Saturday at noon at Stade Jean-Marc. We’ll finish the interview after.” “Antoine wants the article in two days,” she said. “Tell Antoine I said to wait.” She took another long pull from the lemonade, her pride not letting her say yes to me so quickly. “Saturday then,” she said. “For the article.” “Right,” I said, holding her gaze. “For the article.” She finished off the lemonade and set the glass down. “Thank you very much, Sophie. It was just what I needed.” She gathered her belongings and turned to me. “See you.” “You have a drop of lemonade on your chin,” I said. “Where?” Her hand flew to her mouth. “No, I don’t…” I held out the cocktail napkin with my sketch of her, my brow raised. Janey dropped her hand from her dry chin, fuming. I expected her to flounce away. But she snatched the napkin out of my hand, dropped it into her bag, and coolly walked away. I wasn’t in love with her, but in that moment, I knew someday I would be.

The heart is exquisite.
You’ll never hear anyone wax poetic over an organ quite like they do the heart.

When your love for someone is unwavering, unparalleled and unprecedented? You give them your heart.
As a lead pediatric cardiac surgeon, I knew better than anyone that the heart is equally as powerful as it is delicate.
The heart giveth just as easily as it taketh away.
And until the day Kelly Potter darkened my doorway that was all just part of the job.
She rolled in like a slow evening storm, fierce and beautiful, fighting for the life of her unborn child.
It should have been business as usual.
I was a doctor.
Her child the patient.
But Kelly was more.
She was the one who got away.
I wouldn’t make the same mistake twice.
It didn’t matter what the rules were.
For once, I was listening to my heart.

"It’s official—Sunniva Dee is the queen of unconventional, forbidden romance. Sunniva has twisted me all up, in the best possible ways, and I can’t wait for more." - Amazon Top 100 Bestselling Author, Harloe Rae
   
Regretfully Yours by Sunniva Dee is a very entertaining mafia romance wonderfully mixed with action, suspense and romance. The romance aspect of the story will probably be a problem for some but for me it wasn’t. I knew Sunniva Dee would put her usual spin on the story. I wasn’t disappointed. 
Pretty early on I established a connection with Gioele and Silvina. Also their history and chemistry was undeniable.

I enjoyed their shared history cause it’s what shaped them and it was also an important time of their lives. They were each other’s first love and I enjoyed how they navigated through that time. Their love isn’t accepted in their families and they try hard to respect their family’s wishes but when Gioele and Silvina have a love that’s as intoxicating as theirs is pretty damn difficult.
The action and suspense was fabulous and I was at the edge of my seat. Especially when Silvina was put in harms way. That and Gioele’s powerlessness and frustration over the loss of his love was captivating reading. His relationship with his brother Isaias only showed how deep their love runs. 
Again Sunniva Dee surprises and ends Regretfully Yours on a high. This isn’t your usual mafia romance and I commend the author for never playing it safe.

Blog Tour - Sever by Mary Elizabeth

Today we have the blog tour for SEVER by Mary Elizabeth. Check it out and grab your copy today!

Title: SEVER Author: Mary Elizabeth Series: Closer Duet Genre: Contemporary Romance Release: April 5th Cover Designer: Sofie at Hart and Bailey Designs


About SEVER

Misery overstayed its welcome. But fate will not be so easily swayed. Gabriella Mason and Teller Reddy have walked a thin line between affection and hostility for years. The intensity that once set them on fire has ended their engagement and separated them by more than just miles. Forced together by circumstances they never saw coming, Gabriella and Teller have no choice but to face the past that brought them together and ultimately severed them apart. Wrecked and Damaged have collided. This is what happens when they try to pick up the pieces.


It’s so good to be back with Ella and Teller. Their relationship continues in the sequel Sever and picks up right where Closer ended. To say they’re addicted to one another would be an understatement. It goes deeper than that. They both know their behavior can be toxic and unhealthy but their love and need for one another trumps that. Ella and Teller truly loves each other. It’s intoxicating and earthshaking. When they’re around one another times stand still. 
When they hit a rough patch in their relationship they turn to old patterns. Especially Ella. She runs. From everything and everyone. She’s influenced by her environment growing up with a mother who abandoned Ella and her brother Emerson and a father dying years later. No wonder she has issues with abandonment and those are what she’s confronting in Sever to make her relationship with Teller work.

Their story is emotional, intense and angsty and it’s all because of Mary Elizabeth prose. It’s effortless and hauntingly beautiful. 
I didn’t know what to expect after finishing Closer but I can honestly say that the waiting for Sever was worth it. Mary Elizabeth delivers with Sever and especially with Ella and Teller. I got the character development I was expecting. Their growth and their reasoning for wanting to change was wonderfully written. Their love is the center of Sever. From the moment they met on the lawn at college and that’s why the Before chapters work so well. They show every aspect of their love. How it ranged from friendship to so much more even when they wouldn’t give in to it. 

There’s some unexpected surprises along the way only adding to the story and character development. The secondary characters are just like in Closer important to the story and especially to Ella and Teller. Maby and Emerson are simply fabulous.

About Mary Elizabeth

Mary Elizabeth is an up and coming author who finds words in chaos, writing stories about the skeletons hanging in your closets. Mary was born and raised in Southern California. She is a wife, mother of four beautiful children, and dog tamer to one enthusiastic Pit Bull and a prissy Chihuahua. She’s a hairstylist by day but contemporary fiction, new adult author by night. Mary can often be found finger twirling her hair and chewing on a stick of licorice while writing and rewriting a sentence over and over until it’s perfect. She discovered her talent for tale-telling accidentally, but literature is in her chokehold. And she’s not letting go until every story is told.
