Unbreak This Heart by Betty Shreffler ~ Release Blitz

Title: Unbreak This Heart

Author: Betty Shreffler

Genre: Contemporary Romance Standalone

Release Date: August 31, 2018

Blurb

Ever since that horrific night, I’d shut men completely out of my life. I’d gone from the spunky, fun, Alex DeMarco to a broken woman terrified of intimacy. Easing me back into dating, my best friend sets me up with kickboxing lessons from my charming and perfectly sculpted instructor—Carter Maxwell.   

Carter’s goal is to break through my emotional barrier and mold my heart just like he molds my body, but trusting men is a battle I’m not ready for. What’s worse is my ex fiancé, Todd Livingston—the man who tore my heart in two—wants me back, and as much as I’d like to deny it, the feelings are still there.

Both men want what I can’t give—my body and my love—and neither are willing to give up the fight. But only one of them can unbreak this heart of mine.

“ I want this. I want us, but I don’t want to be your second choice. I want to be your only choice.”

Eeek!!! Doesn’t that just make you want to dive right in??? I was so nervous the entire book, but I also was so mad!! There were points where the words... Are you serious??... were coming out of my mouth!!! So many times, I just wanted to jump in the book and slap some sense into Alex. But there were also so many times I was like... Yes, Yes, Yes!!! Lol! As you can see, I was very verbal while reading, Unbreak This Heart!! I truly enjoyed it, and I’m sure many readers will like it just as much!! Betty Shreffler is a new author to me. I’m so happy I took a chance on her!

LOVE ONLINE by Penelope Ward: Review by Lys

Love Online by Penelope Ward
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Penelope Ward never fails to deliver a MUST read. Her heartwarming storylines are fun, witty, and full of angst. They are the kind of stories that leave you with a cheesy smile. Her characters are all heart. Love Online was no different, yet uniquely it's own. I loved it!

Love Online is a make-you-feel-good kind of read. It's sweet, it's sexy, and full of heart. Ryder and Eden's story is a bit unconventional, but it has all the feels I have come to LOVE from a Penelope Ward novel. This author never disappoints! She continues to create such heart felt storylines and endearing characters. Characters that sick with you long after their story is finished.

I adored Ryder. Despite how hot the cover model is (Isn't that man beyond gorgeous?!), I couldn't help but imagine Scott Eastwood as Ryder. There was just something about the way the author described him that immediately led me to that imagery of Scott. I have to say... I enjoyed it! Ryder is one of the good guys. The kind of guy every girl can only hope to be lucky enough to meet. He will pull at your heart strings and captivate you with his charm.

Eden was lovely. Her free spirit and strength is a breath of fresh air. Her life is complicated and full of responsibilities, but when she meets Ryder, all she can think of is the girl she wants to be. It's kind of comical how these two meet, but when they do, the sexual tension between them is off the charts. Love Online may be Penelope Ward's most naughty book yet!

If you are looking for a sweet, sexy read with a storyline that will wrap around your heart and a hero and heroine that will remind you why you read romance novels, read Love Online. It is another amazing story by this brilliant author.

***Review Blitz!*** LOVE ONLINE by Penelope Ward!

A Standalone Contemporary Romance Novel

By: NY Times, USA Today, and #1 Wall Street Journal Best Selling Author, Penelope Ward!

Synopsis:

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new, sexy STANDALONE novel.

We met in the least likely of places. It started out innocently enough. I was “ScreenGod” and she was “Montana,” but of course, those weren’t our actual names, just the virtual cloaks we hid behind.

Logging in at night and talking to her was my escape—my sanctuary.

Her real name was Eden, I’d soon come to find out.

From the first time we connected online, I found myself transfixed.

She was an addiction.

At first, we knew nothing about each other’s real identities…and she was adamant that we keep things that way. Anonymity had no effect on our unstoppable chemistry, though. If anything, it allowed us to open up even more in ways we may not have otherwise.

Eden was funny, intelligent, gorgeous—everything I’d ever wanted in a woman.

But I couldn’t really have her.

I had accepted things would have to stay the way they were—until the day I found a clue that led me straight to her.

So I took a chance.

And that was when our love story really began.

The Perfect Duet by Meghan Quinn

   

 

The Left Side Of Perfect – Release Day – August 30

For better or for worse,'til death do us part . . .

The better captured me; she's who stole my heart.

And made me realize I couldn’t live without this woman.

The worse of her took my breath away--kicked me when I was down and twisted me into a million knots.

When I first met her, I thought she was someone I would never see again.

The second time I ran into her, it was a random coincidence.

The third?

I didn’t know it at the time, but she was the girl I was going to marry.

But life isn’t always perfect. You have to take the better and the worse--even if it means giving her up, having her slip between your fingers, and letting her walk away.

I’m getting married.

This is forever, 'til death do us part.

The Left Side of Perfect by Meghan Quinn

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG!!! Ugh... I just want to scream! I just finished book 1 of Colby’s story and I’m SO TORN!! I have never been this torn when it comes to the characters from the story I’m reading!! The sad part? I can’t even tell you what I’m torn about because I don’t want to give anything away! All I know is I’m so happy that Meghan Quinn wrote these two stories back to back because I would DIE if I had to wait before getting the conclusion to The Left Side Of Perfect!! I’m so nervous and so excited to start The Right Side of Perfect!!

The Right Side Of Forever – Release Day August 31

In sickness and in health, to love and to cherish . . .

It sounds so simple, to love someone unconditionally.

To give them your heart.

So why is she slowly eating away at my soul with every unanswered phone call, every unread text, and every door left unopened?

She said yes, and yet, in order for her to be with me . . . I need to let her go.

The Right Side of Forever by Meghan Quinn

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Butterflies!! That’s all I feel after reading such an amazing duet! I can’t even contain the smile I have on my face right now! I seriously LOVED it! I don’t even know which duet I liked better. Rory or Colby’s story. They were both so good. I’m so happy I read them. I was so nervous when I started reading The Right Side of Perfect. I was really scared that I was going to end up not liking Colby, but I should have known better. I should have known Colby wouldn’t let me down. He’s just too perfect to be an ass! Lol! I fell in love with him in The Upside of Falling. My heart literally broke for him, but now, I can breath again knowing that my heart is full. If you haven’t read The Blue Line Duet, I highly recommend you read that first so that you get the full picture before reading this. Most importantly, I highly recommend that you read all four stories, so that you can enjoy the wonderful, yet tearful, wild ride with these amazing characters!!

 Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped. Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking. Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

***Excerpt Reveal!*** DIRTY HEADLINES by L.J. Shen

Dirty Headlines, an all-new sexy, enemies-to-lovers romance from USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen is coming September 7th and we have the first sneak peek!

Célian Laurent.

Manhattan royalty.

Notorious playboy.

Heir to a media empire.

…And my new boss.

I could have impressed him, if not for last month’s unforgettable one-night stand.

I left it with more than orgasms and a pleasant memory—namely, his wallet.

Now he’s staring me down like I’m the dirt under his Italian loafers, and I’m supposed to take it.

But the thing about being Judith “Jude” Humphry is I have nothing to lose.

Brooklyn girl.

Infamously quirky.

Heir to a stack of medical bills and a tattered couch.

When he looks at me from across the room, I see the glint in his eyes, and that makes us rivals.

He knows it.

So do I.

Every day in the newsroom is a battle.

Every night in his bed, war.

But it’s my heart at stake, and I fear I’ll be raising the white flag.

Add to GoodReads: https://bit.ly/2GuCKIB

Excerpt

He had an American accent. Not French. American.Smooth. Familiar. Ordinary. He fired out sentences at the speed of light. I heard him, but I couldn’t listen. Shock gripped my body as the pieces of the puzzle fell into place. My dirty one-night stand was my boss. My lying, American boss. And now I had to deal with that—hopefully for a very long time, because I desperately needed this job.

Someone snapped their fingers, and my gaze shot from Célian’s face to Grayson.

His forehead had crumpled into a frown. “You look like you’re trying hard not to cry or having a really intense orgasm. I’m hoping for you that it’s the latter and some kind of a weird-slash-awesome condition. You okay?”

I nodded, scraping up a smile. “Sorry. Zero orgasms happening under this dress. I just zoned out for a second.”Lies. I was about to orgasm just remembering how good Célianhad felt parting my thighs with his big, callused hands and dipping his tongue into my slit.

Then words stopped streaming down on everyone’s heads like a scalding shower, and I realized that indeed there was something worse than hearing Célianspeak in his perfect American English. And that was not hearing him speak at all. Because now the icicles were pointed at me like a cocked gun.

I glanced up to meet his gaze. He stared at me for exactly one second before his focus snapped to Grayson. “Am I understood, Gregory?” he asked.

Gregory?

“Crystal clear, sir,” Grayson bowed, his voice trembling at the edges.

Célian jerked his chin toward me. “Your cover girl material is going downhill.”

God. Damn. Bastard.

He recognized me, and I knew it. His eyes had kindled, melting the ice and growing darker the minute our gazes mingled. He remembered, and maybe it killed him that I was here in the same way it buried me.

I want my iPod back, my gaze told him. I had over three thousand songs on that thing, and they were all too good to be wasted on that jerk.

“Jude Humphry. Junior reporter. It’s her first day,” Grayson highlighted, almost pleadingly. He shifted in my direction, as if he might need to physically protect me from the sharp-tongued, suited monster.

I suppressed a smile when I realized I’d told Célianmy last name was Spears. Well, he certainly wasn’t a Timberlake. He was a Laurent. An American monarch through and through. A billionaire, a powerful force, and judging by our one and only encounter—a raging playboy.

This man was inside you, I internally shrieked. And not just once. His cock was buried so deep in you, you screamed. You can still taste the salty, earthy flavor of his cum.You know he has a freckle on his lower back. You know what sound he makes when he empties inside a woman.

I internally thanked my mind for ruining my panties in public, and nodded. “Pleasure to meet you, sir.” I offered him my hand, my face flushing with embarrassment at my choice of words.

Everyone was looking at us, and there were at least fifty people in the room. Célian—if that was even his name—ignored my outreached hand. Instead, he turned his face to the man beside him. “Mathias, any other words of wisdom?”

Mathias? Wasn’t that his father? Just how cold was the man with the icy blue eyes?

“I think you touched everything,” said the big boss—and he did have a heavy French accent, so at least the lie had a seed. Mathias stared at me placidly, like he could read the secret his son and I shared on my face.

Célian spun toward me, uncuffing his cufflinks and rolling his sleeves up his veiny forearms. “Accounting can go back to their unfortunate line of work. Couture is excused from this meeting—though not forgiven for their horrid blog. Miss Humphry?” He snapped his fingers impatiently.

He was already waltzing down the narrow hallway, knowing I’d chase him like a puppy, and no doubt taking pleasure in that fact.

“I have a bone to pick with you.”

Bone, boner—same difference, right?

I shot Grayson a please-save-my-butt look. His eyes said, I would but I still have a life to live.

I followed Célian down the hall, my Chucks slapping the floor in a hurry. He sliced through the throng of accountants, then stopped at a corner office, opened the door, barked “Out!” to the man inside, and tilted his head for me to go in. I did. He closed the door, and it was just the two of us.

Two feet of empty space between us.

Consumed by hate and rage, I spent four years running from my memories.

Until a shattered woman gave me a reason to stop.

Cora lived in a nightmare, but through sheer force of will, she’d turned it into something beautiful. She had a smile that could pierce the darkest soul. And with one glance, she shredded mine.

AUTHOR INFORMATION:

Originally from Savannah, Georgia, USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez now lives in South Carolina with her four young children. Never one to take herself too seriously, she enjoys cheap wine, mystery leggings, and baked feta. It should be known, however, that she hates pizza and ice cream, almost as much as writing her bio in the third person. She passes what little free time she has reading anything and everything she can get her hands on, preferably with a super-sized tumbler of wine by her side.
