BLURB

From New York Times bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward comes a new standalone romance.
Rule number one for dating your best friend’s sister: Don’t.
Just don’t do it.
Especially when your best friend is dead and the last thing he made you promise him was that you’d keep an eye on his little sister, but not too good of an eye.
As a musician whose longest committed relationship was six weeks, I, Holden Catalano, was the last guy on Earth who should’ve been messing around with Laney Ellison.
The super smart girl whom I affectionately dubbed Lala since childhood was always off limits.
Though that didn’t stop me from thinking about her over the years, especially those times when the two of us would sneak out onto the roof and talk for hours after my buddy fell asleep. It was innocent, but I’d always held a torch for her.
After Ryan passed away, I vowed to always protect Lala. That included protecting her—from me.
Now all grown up and a scientist, Lala needed a place to stay when she accepted a temporary research position in New York. I thought I did the right thing by offering her an apartment in the building I co-owned with my three friends.
Except having her close by reignited all of those old feelings.
And things started to get complicated.
Especially since she was engaged.
And especially since, lately, I’d noticed something more in her eyes. Desire.
Lala didn’t exactly look at me like the platonic brother figure I was trying so desperately to be, even though I wanted her more than I’d ever wanted anything.
Yet, I was being good—on my very best behavior.
But you know what they say…all good things must come to an end, right?

***Review Tour*** THE GAME by Vi Keeland!




Title: The Game
Author: Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 16, 2023


BLURB

It started out like any other Tuesday.

I spent twelve hours writing algorithms for one of the largest companies in the world and then came home to work on a pet project of mine—feeding facts about the men I knew into a formula to find my perfect match before my twenties came barreling to a close.

But then a man knocked on my door and handed me some papers that turned my life upside down.

Apparently, a father I never knew existed had left me something in his will. That something turned out to be part ownership in a professional football team.

Next thing I knew, I was learning a sport I knew nothing about by spending time with the team’s quarterback who was out with an injury, a man who my formula would definitely determine was all wrong for me.

Christian Knox was too handsome and confident for his own good and could have any woman he wanted. Only lately the only woman he seemed to want was me.

But there was no way I was getting involved when I was now his boss, even if he was insanely gorgeous and had the dirtiest mouth I’d ever come across.

It would be wrong, wouldn’t it?

Probably. But you know what they say about things that are wrong...sometimes they feel so right.

Holy hotness, I absolutely LOVED Christian! His charm and his humor had ME blushing! He was so darn fun to get to read about. I adored his and Bella’s story.

Christian was a man who knew what he wanted and he went after it. His persistence was admirable! Bella cracked me up with her algorithms. Loved her sidekick, Miller . He was a blast. And Christian’s brother, Jake... he was so much fun!

This was a great read to just sit back and relax with. This story just felt good and left me with a big cheesy smile. I highly recommend!

THE EXCEPTION by Adriana Locke is on AUDIO!


I have been wanting to read this book for a long time (I LOVE Adriana Locke's stories), but I have recently gotten hooked on audios. When I found out that this story was now available on audio, I was thrilled to listen to it!

I loved it! I loved Cane and Jada. Especially Cane! He was the perfect sexy, protective alpha. The chemistry between them was H.O.T. I really enjoyed the storyline and the element of suspense. Romantic suspense is my favorite genre! I also fell for Cane's bestfriend Max and Jada's sister, Carrie.

I really enjoyed the narration. I have turned audios off simply because of the voice of the narrator. Sometimes it's their voice and sometimes it's because I don't feel the connection between the narrator and the character. Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor did an excellent job! I felt that their voices synced with how I imagined Cane and Jada. Hearing their voices made for an amazing audio.

I would love to listen to this duo again and I can't wait to listen to another Adriana Locke story. I highly recommend!

SORRELL

He’s going to pay for what he’s done…
Theo Merchant was born into a kind of privilege I’ve never known.
He has everything I don’t: Money. A private school education. Popularity. A bright and shiny future, full of success to look forward to. He took the only thing I had going for me—my best friend, Rachel. Now that she’s gone, I have nothing left to lose
I will infiltrate his world.
I will cradle his worthless heart in my hands.
I will burn down his entire life and destroy everything he holds dear.
I haven’t enrolled at Toussaint Academy to learn.
I’ve come to destroy a monster…
…and I won’t leave until he’s dead.


THEO

She has no idea what she’s getting herself into…
Sorrell Voss is intelligent, caustic as hell, and quite possibly the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. She’s also going to get herself f#cking killed.
She’s a fool if she thinks I’ll go easy on her just because she’s broken.
You don’t venture into the lion’s den and walk away unscathed.
She has her secrets. That’s fine.
*My* secrets will unravel her until she comes apart at the seams.
She will bow to me, and she will break.
Then, and only then, will I make her mine.


Wow! What a read! From the very beginning, I was intrigued by this storyline. Who doesn’t love a strong heroine out for revenge? I salivate over angst and this story had a ton of it. Enemies to lovers is one of my favorite genres. However, this story had so much more! A twist I didn’t see coming! This was such a thrilling, emotional page turner. I did not want to put it down! It’s hard when you take a good book on vacation. ALL you want to do is read! I highly recommend this book and all of Callie Hart’s fabulous stories. This one is my new favorite!

***Review Tour!*** THE BOSS PROJECT by Vi Keeland




Title: The Boss Project
Author: Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 11, 2022


BLURB

The first time I met Merrick Crawford was during my job interview.

Well, technically, I’d met him twenty minutes earlier when he’d barged into a fitting room a few doors down from my appointment.

I yelled. He yelled. After an argument while standing in my bra, I proceeded to smash the door into the gorgeous jerk, trying to yank it shut.

As you might imagine, I was freaked out when I discovered that the rude guy was my potential new boss.

Yet he didn’t seem to recognize me. Or so I thought… Until we wound up bickering again during my interview and he told me to go sniff my armpit.

Okay, so maybe I hadn’t exactly been changing when he walked in on me. In my defense, I’d been stuck on a hot train for two hours and wanted to make sure I didn’t smell.

I obviously didn’t expect to get the job. But somehow an invitation to a second interview arrived in my inbox.

Before I left, I asked to see Merrick. I needed to know why I was even in consideration after our disastrous start.

Turned out, Merrick only wanted to hire me because I was the least competent candidate. It seemed his board was making him fill the position, against his wishes.

I didn’t really want to work in a place where my boss expected me to fail. But I figured maybe I’d enjoy proving him wrong. It was a little thing I dubbed the boss project.

What I wasn’t prepared for was that there would be other things I’d enjoy doing to Merrick Crawford.

Getting involved with the boss wasn’t the smartest choice.

But you know what they say about choices: Some we regret, some we are proud of. I just had no idea where this one was going to land.

I never read the synopsis of Vi Keeland’s stories. She is a 1-click author for me. I know I’m going to enjoy it and so I figure, why bother? Well, she got me this time! I was not expecting to cry! And boy did I ever! I fell in love with the hero from the start. I can’t get enough of a hot, sexy, alpha in a suit. I think Christian Grey set that stage for me and I’ve been loving the show ever since. Merrick Crawford is gorgeous, successful, and dominating. He is quick witted and has a delicious, filthy mouth. I loved every minute of it! What completely killed me though was his vulnerability. I was done. A mess. His story gutted me. I have enjoyed all of Vi’s stories, but The Boss Project is most definitely one of my favorites. This heart felt romance has it all. A sexy hero, a strong heroine, humor, heat, and lots of heart. I highly recommend. Merrick and Evie forever! ~Review by Lys
