Review Tour! HAPPILY LETTER AFTER by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

Title: Happily Letter After

Authors: Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

Publisher: Montlake

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Release Date: October 20, 2020

BLURB

From New York Times bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward comes a love story about taking chances and the surprises that come with them.

My love story all started with a letter.

Only it wasn’t from the man I’d eventually fall in love with. It was from his daughter. A sweet little girl named Birdie Maxwell who’d written to the magazine that I worked for.

You see, once a year my employer fulfilled a few wishes for readers. Only that column didn’t start up again for months.

So I fulfilled some of her wishes myself. It was harmless…so I thought. Until one day I took things too far.

While anonymously granting yet another of Birdie’s wishes, I got a look at her father. Her devastatingly handsome, single dad father.

I should have stopped playing fairy godmother then. I should have left well enough alone. But I just couldn’t help myself. I had a connection to this girl. One that had me acting irrationally.

Like when I showed up on their doorstep.

PAPERBACK / AUDIOBOOK

They did it again! This dynamic duo has yet again touched my soul with this super cute love story. These authors write the best stories filled with the perfect amount of heart and humor. I absolutely loved the storyline and the characters. Especially Birdie! She stole my heart from the very beginning. There were parts that had me laughing out loud. I don’t think I’ve laughed as hard as I did than when Sadie was trying to teach the dog, Duke, how to jump over her in a long time. That was a riot! Sebastian and Sadie’s story was so much fun to read. If you're looking for a heart felt, entertaining, light read that will make you swoon and giggle, this is it. I highly recommend!

But I Need You by W. Winters ~ Blog Tour

BUT I NEED YOU (This Love Hurts Trilogy #2) by Willow Winters Release Date: October 20th Add to Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54304548-but-i-need-you

AVAILABLE NOW! Amazon: https://amzn.to/2Fo3WcB Kobo: https://bit.ly/3nGeDsm Nook: https://bit.ly/33PqvjY Apple Books: https://apple.co/36XUisA Start the Series Today With This Love Hurts! DOWNLOAD TODAY: https://geni.us/30Zky

Blurb: Some love stories are a slow burn. Others are quick to ignite, scorching and branding your very soul before you’ve taken that first breath. You’re never given a chance to run from it. That’s how I’d describe what happened to us. Everything around me blurred and all that existed were his lips, his touch… The chase and the heat between us became addictive. Our nights together were a distraction, one we craved to the point of letting the world crumble around us. We should have paid more attention; we should have known that it would come to this. We both knew it couldn’t last, but that didn’t change what we desired most. All we wanted was each other… This is the second book in the This Love Hurts trilogy and This Love Hurts, book one, must be read first.

But I Need You by W. Winters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This new series by W. Winters is a non-stop, nail biter for sure! If you’re looking for an intense thriller, grab this one as soon as you can! These three characters will have you guessing the entire time. Plus, the little love triangle just spices it up that much more! I’m loving every minute of it, and I can’t wait for the conclusion to see how it all comes together!

-Review by Juls

About the Author: Willow Winters is so happy to be a USA Today, Wall Street Journal and #1 Contemporary Best Selling Author! Willow started writing after having her little girl, Evie, December 2015. All during her pregnancy with Evie she continued to read and she only wanted to read romance. She was reading a book a day — sometimes two. In January 2016 Willow was staying up late with Evie and just thinking of all these stories. They came to her constantly so she finally sat down and just started writing. She always wanted to do it so she figured, why not? Today Willow cannot be happier for making that decision!

Perfectly Thin by Margaret McHeyzer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“I’m not a something, I’m a someone. A confident, beautiful, worthy someone.”

Every time a book downloads on my kindle by Margaret McHeyzer, I get so excited, but also so nervous. I get excited because I know anything she writes is going to be amazing. I get nervous because I also know anything she writes breaks my heart! Perfectly Thin of course, was both! Once I saw the title of this release, I knew it was going to be one of those heart wrenching, all consuming reads! Margaret always has a way of reaching into her readers hearts and pulling on those strings! She is also one of my favorite authors, so I guess you can say she has my permission to pull away!

Reading Perfectly Thin, I’m sure will open many eyes to the way people think when it comes to anorexia. The thoughts that ran through Jane’s mind were really heartbreaking. To see the way she sees and the way she thought, well, it really is something I’m not sure many have experienced. So if anyone has triggers when it comes to this topic, you may want to pass on Jane’s story. If you don’t, I highly recommend reading this. However, it’s not because it was such a good story, it’s because I feel it’s really helpful to see how our minds can really take things that are said to us, or about us, and turn it into something that can either help or hinder us. Something so little as telling someone they look good after losing a little weight. You’d think that would be nice for them to hear, but for someone like Jane, that just added fuel to the fire that was already raging in her mind about losing weight and wanting to become...Perfectly Thin. Sometimes we can say things to others without a moment of thought. In the end, it really depends how that person will take and process it in their minds. This book really opened my eyes to anorexia. I honestly never would have thought that this is how someone’s mind works. So yes, I definitely would recommend this to anyone that is able to read it. For me, it was a major eye opening moment and a story I’ll never forget!

Review by Juls

AUTHOR BIO

STRONG, BRAVE AND COURAGEOUS CHARACTERS.

**Write something worth reading**

I'm Margaret and I'm a self-published author.

Recently I was fortunate in obtaining New York Times best-selling status on my YA/NA book - Ugly, and my YA book - Mistrust.

My last six books have been YA and I'm completely in love with the genre. I love being able to communicate with people through my words and stories.

My writing genres all differ, but the one thing I keep consistent is my heroines. All my female lead characters are strong, gutsy and not the 'perfect' woman. While my books all have romantic elements in them, they aren't just about the romance. They're about finding strength, acceptance and making life long connections.

I hope you enjoy my stories as much as I have while writing them.

RELEASE ALERT

EXCERPT

“I cannot believe we are doing this.” Devin and I took the C train to Columbus Circle and stopped at Starbucks before walking over to the carousel. My partner in crime came dressed for surveillance, wearing head-to-toe black, dark sun- glasses, and a wool cap . . . in July. We were lucky it was New York or she might look like the weirdo she is. I, on the other hand, had on jeans and an Aerosmith T-shirt. Because . . . you know . . . Steven Tyler and those lips. I didn’t even care he was probably pushing seventy. I’d still suck on those babies.

We took a seat on a bench located to the right of the carousel—not directly in front of it but where we could still see everyone who walked in and out. As we got into position, I started to feel really bad about what we were about to do—invade little Birdie’s privacy.

“Maybe we shouldn’t do this.”

Devin put her hand on my shoulder and applied pressure—just in case I tried to get up. “We’re doing this. Don’t even try to make a run for it.”

I slouched back onto the bench. “Fine.”

We sat for the better part of an hour, sipping coffee, gossiping about work, and looking around for a little girl and her dad. When I caught the time on my phone, I said, “It’s after eleven. I don’t think they’re coming.”

“Let’s give it until eleven thirty.”

I rolled my eyes. But screw it, we were in this far—I might as well go along with the rest of the ride. Otherwise, Devin would never let me hear the end of it. At eleven thirty on the dot, I stood. “Let’s go, Lacey.”

“Who?”

“Cagney & Lacey. It was a show my mom used to watch when I was little. It had two women detectives.”

“Well, which one was hotter? Maybe I don’t want to be Lacey.”

I laughed. “You can be whichever one you want to be.”

I turned to throw out my coffee cup in the basket next to the bench and was just about to start to leave when I spotted a little girl and a man who had just turned into the entrance of the park. They were pretty far off, but I thought it could be Birdie. “Oh my God. Sit! Sit! I think that’s them.”

The two of us planted our asses back on the bench at the same exact time. Devin leaned forward and squinted. “Are you sure?”

I grabbed her arm and pulled her to sit back. “Don’t be so obvious.”

We watched, while completely failing at looking casual, as the man and the little girl moved closer. The man was tall, broad-shouldered, and had on a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. He was holding the hand of the little girl. And she had on . . . a bodysuit and tutu. It was definitely Birdie!

“Oh my God. It’s them!”

Neither of us said a word as the father and daughter approached the carousel. When they got close enough so I could finally see their faces, I gasped. “Oh my God. He’s . . .”

Devin grabbed my hand. “I call dibs. I want to have his babies.”

I couldn’t believe my eyes. While I was expecting a modern version of my dad twenty years ago, the man standing before me was anything but. For the record, my dad is awesome, and he’s not too shabby-looking. But this man . . . was . . . drop. Dead. Gorgeous. Wow. Just . . . yeah. Wow.

Sebastian Maxwell had dark hair, bone structure to die for, and full, beautiful lips. I’d joked how Devin thought the guy was a super- model, but this man could actually be a supermodel. He had that longish, messy hair—the kind that he could drag a hand through, and it would look like he’d been both thoroughly fucked and just finished a photo shoot. Yeah, that was him. I was absolutely, positively speechless.
