Marriage of Inconvenience by Penny Reid and My Amazing Review

Marriage of Inconvenience, an all new romantic comedy standalone in the USA Today bestselling, Knitting in the City Series by Penny Reid, is available NOW!

There are three things you need to know about Kat Tanner (aka Kathleen Tyson. . . and yes, she is *that* Kathleen Tyson): 1) She’s determined to make good decisions, 2) She must get married ASAP, and 3) She knows how to knit.

Being a billionaire heiress isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. In fact, it sucks. Determined to live a quiet life, Kat Tanner changed her identity years ago and eschewed her family’s legacy. But now, Kat’s silver spoon past has finally caught up with her, and so have her youthful mistakes. To avoid imminent disaster, she must marry immediately; it is essential that the person she chooses have no romantic feelings for her whatsoever and be completely trustworthy.

Fortunately, she knows exactly who to ask. Dan O’Malley checks all the boxes: single, romantically indifferent to her, completely trustworthy. Sure, she might have a wee little crush on Dan the Security Man, but with clear rules, expectations, and a legally binding contract, Kat is certain she can make it through this debacle with her sanity—and heart—all in one piece.

Except, what happens when Dan O’Malley isn’t as indifferent—or as trustworthy—as she thought?

Darra's Review:

The Knitting Series must be in my top 3 favorite that I ever read. Each character is one of a kind and we finally get the read more about Kat and Dan the Security Man. I have have been curious about Kat since she is one of the most quiet and Dan. How could you not to know more!
I was thrown off once finding out who Kat really was. She has a million things going around her and she is running out of time to save her fathers company from her slimy cousin. The plot was great but when discovering why Kat is the way she was shocked me. No one is perfect including Kat. Except Kat does not see Dan that way. If you haven' read the wedding, you need to. 
Kat has been pining over Dan for quite some time. What she doesn't realize Dan feels the same. He can't get over her. Kat needs his help and goes all in. Dan wants to help her, because that is the kind of guy he is. Despite the crazy circumstance, he wants to be by her side. You will fall in love with him. Just like Kat should. 
I am severely cutting down how unbelievable these two characters are. Only because you need to read this book. My heart was in it full hardheartedly because it was the last book of the knitting series. Which makes my soul cry. This book was a perfect ending. With the whole cast involved. Tearing just thinking about it.

Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say goodnight till I reread it be morrow.

I rate the book a 4.8. I heart all of Penny's characters. I promise you will too.

Excerpt:

Staring at his chin, because I couldn’t quite lift my eyes any higher, I cleared my throat. “Should we get ready for bed?” “Sure,” he said, his voice a rumble. Dan’s eyes were on me, I felt the weight of them. My hands came to the hem of my skirt and I hesitated, feeling winded for some reason. Sneaking a glance at him, I immediately wished I hadn’t. His gaze was watchful, but it was also unmistakably hot in a way that seemed at once both avaricious and accusatory. The vice tightened around my lungs. Kiss him! Just freaking kiss him! You want numbered steps? Fine. You kiss him- check. He kisses you back- check. Then you make out- check. Check the boxes. I licked my lips, balling my hands into fists at my sides again, preparing to follow my hasty list. But then he said, “Undress me.” My breath caught. On instinct, my eyes lifted and collided with his in much the same way our bodies had collided at the top of the stairs just moments ago. Jarring. Startling. Thrilling. This time I couldn’t look away because this time I was falling. He made no move to catch me. “What? What did you say?” His eyes narrowed, which served only to increase the intensity of his gaze from smolder to inferno. “Take my clothes off.” I stared at him, licking my lips again, and shaking my head. That wasn’t one of my steps. Lifting my chin, I moved to kiss him. He leaned to the side, evading me even as his eyes dropped to my mouth. “Take off my shirt and I’ll give you a kiss.” He’d used his naughty-secret voice. An explosion of heat erupted in my belly, and now I was hot all over. I couldn’t figure out if the heat was embarrassment or arousal or both. He didn’t give me a chance to figure it out. His hands lifted and he undid his cuffs; then they moved to the top button of his shirt. “You better take over,” he said darkly, “or else you’re not getting that kiss.”

Fallen Reign by S.L. Jennings Released!

 

Fallen Reign is the final installment to S.L. Jennings Paranormal Romance Series, SE7EN Sinnners is AVAILABLE NOW!

 

Synopsis

Yesterday, I had the audacity to imagine a future.

One that didn’t include hunting rogue demons and battling archangels to settle an ancient score at the expense of humanity. One comprised of a home and a family and all the things I’d longed for as a broken child.

Then in the blink of a silver speckled eye, my foolish hope was extinguished, and my world came crumbling down.

We stood strong. We fought. We lost.

I lost.

Legion, the demon I dared to love, was gone.

Now I’m going to tear myself in two and do the unthinkable to find him. I’m going to put my trust in his brother, his enemy, and make a deal with the Devil. And while his darkness and depravity echo mine, I know this won’t end well for either of us.

My body may survive, maybe even my soul. I can’t promise the same for my heart. This time, I will not fail. I will not hesitate. And if it comes down to it, I’ll be the weapon I was created to be. I will follow the code of the Se7en, and do what I should have done when we had the chance.

Kill one to save a million.

Kill him to save the world.

Synopsis

He's my most delicious secret.

The hot Suit I had a one-night stand with one evening.

I didn't know anything about him, not even his name.

Only that we shared a taxi, and he was staying at the hotel where I worked.

We met in room 301. Where he commanded not only my body but my soul.

The next day he was gone and I only had a memory of him.

I could still taste his kisses, feel his demanding touch.

I searched for him for months. Daydreaming about him. Wondering if I'd ever find him.

Until the day I find myself staring face to face with his jeweled black eyes again.

He says lets keep it casual, and my heart knows that falling for this workaholic in a three-thousand-dollar suit is off the table.

Because he has a secret. One that's a deal breaker for me.

My Suit has a name.

Ian Ford.

Darra's Review:

T.L. Smith always takes you for a ride and she did it again. I am still trying to wrap my head around this story and am still shocked at that amazing ending. Mind Blown!

So it starts off with all in high school and they are now transitioning into adults. Which Ryken has shoes to fill and the question is does he want to? Sometimes you don't have a choice. However I did question his steps directly into the pit of hell. It was too easy to go to the dark side. It may change in the next book. However the vibe I felt at first is not even close to the end. Yes, in his situation there is no turning back. And at the end, that is a valid reason. Except I am not ready to be the end all, be all.

Saskia life is not picture perfect. It was rough and her mother is crap. She could have been much worse than who she was. She loved her cousin. Unfortunately what unfolds is not good for the both of them. I did like her despite her bad decisions. What does a teenage girl do? Fall for the wrong buys even though they no better. You will feel for her and she tries to right the wrong. 

As I said, the ending was jaw dropping. I could not believe what happened and am losing my mind until I read Sinister Love!

I rate the book 4.7 out of 5. I am super impatient to read more. I may want to physically murder a fictional character.   

Sinister Love (Dark Intentions Duet #2) 

Releasing April 24th

HOSTED BY:

Only You By Melanie Halow!!!

Only You, an all-new sexy and emotional standalone from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow is LIVE!

Nate Pearson is ridiculously handsome and wears the hell out of a suit and tie, but I've seen the parade of beautiful women leaving his apartment across the hall-a different one every time-and I want no part of it. When it comes to romance, I'm looking for something real, something that will last: the happily ever after.

As a divorce attorney, he loves to tell me there's no such thing.

As a wedding planner, I choose to disagree.

We disagree on almost everything, in fact. Everything except James Bond. The only time we really get along is when we're watching 007 flicks together, and I'll admit-he has rescued me from a disaster or five. So when one of the baton twirlers from his parade leaves a baby girl at his door with a note that says "I'll come back for her" and he begs me for help, I can't turn him down.

But it's a mistake.

Because watching him with his daughter, I start to see another side of Nate, a side that has my breath coming faster, my body craving his, my heart longing for him to change his mind about love and tell me there's a chance for us.

I don't want to be just another girl leaving his apartment in the morning.

I want to be the one he asks to stay.

Darra's Review:

The beginning of this book made me laugh out loud! It was hilarious and Emme is ridiculous in a good way. Nate is the typical alpha guy stuck in the bachelor life. Emme is just a good friend to him and they enjoy the way it is. Does life stay the same, absolutely not! Nate finds out he has a baby girl and he is clueless. Now he is struggling with this new life he never wanted. Except the one person who was there for him. Nate and Emme get closer than they were before. Emme is a better person than I. So sweet and forgiving. Nate was very lucky to be with her. However I will say Nate redeemed himself in a big way at the end and that was how I wanted it to happen.

I rate Only You a 4.3 out of 5. Crazy beginning and a sweet ending!

Sunny's Review:

I enjoyed this book. There were some funny parts at the beginning of the book and they made me really like Emme and Nate. While Nate is a jerk he is a good friend to Emme and I enjoyed their relationship.  I do like that Nate was honest with most women in his life. Once the baby shows up and he gets over the shock, Nate starts to change and realize that his life will never be the same. There were a lot of realistic parts of this book and I like that. There are some many things that I would like to add but I do not want to spoil this book. 

I am giving this book 4.2 stars out of 5. It was a quick, sweet read with some seriously hot scenes. If you need something to read that will make you feel warm and fuzzy, get this book.  

Excerpt

“So did you mean what you said last night? About me?” He grimaced, his eyes closing briefly. “I’m sorry about that. I shouldn’t have said it.” “But you think it, right? That I’m a little girl living in a fantasy world?” “No.” He put a hand on my shoulder. “I think you’re an optimist. I think you see good in people they don’t even see themselves. You build people up—especially me.” “You?” I laughed a little. “You don’t need me to build you up.” “Hell yes, I do. You think I’d have been able to handle this whole fatherhood bombshell if you hadn’t been here? If you’d said, ‘That’s what you get for fucking around, asshole. Good luck.’” I shook my head, a strand of hair coming loose from my bun. “I’d never have done that.” “I know.” He tucked the strand behind my ear and moved his hand to the back of my neck. His eyes dropped to my lips. “But I would have deserved it.” I held my breath. Things seemed to be happening in slow motion. His forehead came to rest on mine. And then our noses touched. Our eyes closed. An eternity passed, his lips a whisper from mine. Either one of us could have initiated a kiss. A slight lift of my chin. A little drop of his head. The question—will we or won’t we?—hung there between us, even as his closed lips brushed mine, eyelash soft. I wanted nothing more than to wrap my arms around his neck and fit my body flush against his, but my wrists lay inert on the edge of the sink. Suddenly he spoke, his breath warm against my mouth. “You know that dream you have, the one where you really want to do something, you’re desperate to do something, but you’re paralyzed?” “Yes,” I whispered. “I think I’m having that dream right now.” “Me too.” And then I felt it, the gentle pressure at the back of my neck, pulling my head toward him. It was all I needed. Our mouths came together firmly this time, our lips opening, and I angled my body toward his, throwing my arms around his neck. His hands explored my back while his tongue explored my mouth, and he backed me into the corner, his hips pinning mine against the hard stone counter. He kissed with a fervor and intensity that surprised me, his mouth traveling down my neck, his fingers threading through my hair, pulling the pins loose, his body giving off heat that mine hungrily absorbed. I wanted to get closer to him, wished I could feel his skin against mine. I rose up on tiptoe to press against him, my back arching to fit the question mark curve of his body. He felt big and strong and reassuring, exactly how I wanted him to feel. I wasn’t even sure what it was I wanted reassurance about… My desirability? Our chemistry? Something new and different happening between us? He swept his lips to the other side of my throat, a necklace of soft, insistent kisses that warmed my blood. When his mouth returned to mine, the kiss grew hot and frantic. He reached down and hiked the hem of my skirt to my waist, and I immediately jumped up, wrapping my legs around him. His hands moved under my ass and he carried me like that into the living room, never lifting his mouth off mine. When he reached the couch, he knelt on it and tipped me backward, stripping off his shirt and stretching out above me. My hands moved lightning fast over hot skin, solid muscle. Chest and arms and back—I couldn’t get enough. His hand stole beneath the T-shirt I wore and I arched my back so he could reach underneath me and unclasp my bra, then moaned softly at the feel of his palm over my breasts. Moving down, he shoved the shirt and bra up to my neck and put his mouth on me, his lips, his tongue, his teeth, my nipples hardening into tight little peaks that begged to be licked, sucked, teased, tortured. What are we doing? What are we doing? What are we doing? screamed a voice in my head. I ignored it, hooking my arms beneath his and pulling him up so I could kiss him again. I didn’t care what we were doing. It felt way too good to stop.
