Blog Tour: Fighting for Everything by Laura Kaye + Review!

 


From New York Times bestselling author Laura Kaye, comes the first standalone title in her brand, new Warrior Fight Club series, FIGHTING FOR EVERYTHING. Join the Warrior Fight Club world today!



   


Loving her is the biggest fight of his life…

Home from the Marines, Noah Cortez has a secret he doesn’t want his oldest friend, Kristina Moore, to know. It kills him to push her away, especially when he’s noticing just how sexy and confident she’s become in his absence. But, angry and full of fight, he’s not the same man anymore either. Which is why Warrior Fight Club sounds so good.

Kristina loves teaching, but she wants more out of life. She wants Noah—the boy she’s crushed on and waited for. Except Noah is all man now—in ways both oh so good and troubling, too. Still, she wants who he’s become—every war-hardened inch. And when they finally stop fighting their attraction, it’s everything Kristina never dared hope for.

But Noah is secretly spiraling, and when he lashes out, it threatens what he and Kristina have found. The brotherhood of the fight club helps him confront his demons, but only Noah can convince the woman he loves that he’s finally ready to fight for everything.

REVIEW:

3.75-4 stars
****


This was a good book. Fighting for Everything is Noah and Kristina's book. Noah and Kristina were platonic best friends their whole lives. Now Noah has returned to their hometown from being deployed in the military. He is fighting some big demons with PTSD and has no idea how to deal with moving on from military life. Kristina wants to help him, but doesn't know how. They are also dealing with a new found attraction between them to complicate things. Noah has a lot healing to do before he can face his future and his love for Kristina.

I liked Noah and Kristina. They were best friends for so many years and were both good people. Their journey from friends to a romantic relationship was not easy but it was realistic and emotional. This book is a slow burn. There is a lot of pushing away by Noah for most of the book. He had a lot to deal with and I definitely understood why he felt the way he did. It was heartbreaking reading how he felt about himself and all he went through with his PTSD. Noah was tortured by his demons. It did make me feel like the pacing was off a bit in the book. Most of the book was him being tortured inside and her trying to help him, while he pushed her away. It took Noah reaching rock bottom before he is able to begin to heal emotionally. This happened pretty late in the book and I felt that rushed the ending a bit.

This book is not a light, easy read. It is raw, emotional and heavy, dealing with subjects like PTSD, suicidal thoughts and depression. It felt very realistic. I felt very bad for Noah, but I also felt bad for Kristina. He hurt her badly and she forgave him easier than I could have. There is a separation and conflict that is wrapped up at the very end of the book. I wanted to see more happy times of them together as a actual couple.

I did really like the idea for this series. The Warrior Fight Club was introduced late in this book, but it is intriguing and I look forward to more from the series. I do hope the next books are a little lighter. Still, I did enjoy this book. Noah and Kristina were great characters who went through so much together. I enjoyed seeing their relationship develop and seeing them get their well-deserved HEA. I look forward to more from Ms. Kaye and the Warrior Fight Club series!

EXCERPT:

“All done,” Noah said. He gently applied tape to hold the bandage in place, but with the way the back of her hand was swelling, there wasn’t any safe place to press. Sonofabitch. He couldn’t believe this had happened to her. And on his watch.
“You’re taking really good care of me, Noah. Thank you,” Kristina said with a small smile.
“I will always take care of you,” he bit out. And then he realized what he said, and just how vehemently he’d said it. And damn if it hadn’t sounded a whole lot more than friendly. He chanced a glance at Kristina, and it was clear that she’d registered something in his tone, too. He threw away the trash and sat against the edge of the desk. “Why don’t you sit with the ice for a few minutes?”
She rose and stood right in front of him, her pretty eyes even with his given how he was leaning. “I don’t need to sit,” she said in a low voice, her gaze boring into his.
“Well, I need you to sit. So sit.”
Her eyebrow went up. Just the one.
Under other circumstances it might’ve made him laugh. Could she ever just fucking listen to him? But he was wound so tight over witnessing her getting hurt, over the idea that it could’ve been so much worse, over seeing her spilled blood, that it was all he could do not to redecorate Mr. Johnson’s office along the lines of his shower wall. He was nearly vibrating with pent-up frustration.
And now Kristina was boxing him in, observing him too closely, not giving him an out.
“Here’s the part where I’m gonna say ‘thank you,’ and you’re going to say ‘you’re welcome.’ Ready? Thank you for protecting me and taking care of me, Noah.” Her expression was expectant, and not a little amused.
Something about her playfulness wound him a notch tighter. Because he wasn’t playing. His gaze dropped from her eyes to her full pink lips, and desire sucker-punched him so hard he nearly gasped. “Does your mouth hurt?” he rasped.
“Why would my—”
Noah was on her in a flash. Hand cupping the side of her face, arm hauling her tight up against him, mouth claiming hers on a deep, needful, soul-healing kiss. Kristina’s muscles braced in surprise, but then she melted against him, going soft and pliant against all his hardness. And he was hard. So hard, so on edge, so in need of release, that he could’ve spun her around, lifted her onto the desk, and buried himself deep right here and right now.
He needed to be more gentle with her, but the need roaring through him wouldn’t allow him to slow down or back off. And her eager responsiveness didn’t help, either.
Her good hand fisted in his hair, her mouth sucked maddeningly at his tongue, and her body writhed against his erection. And goddamn the noises she was making, because the desperate moans and little mewls of need were hot as fuck, every one stroking his cock and making him harder.
Instinct told Noah that Kristina wouldn’t hinder him playing out his little fantasy on the desk.
Except she was hurt. And they were in a fucking sub shop. Annnd, he couldn’t forget about what was behind door number three—they were supposed to be Just. Friends.
“Shit,” he rasped. “I did it again.”
She grasped at his face. “Yes, thank you for that, too. Keep doing it.” Kristina went in for another kiss. This time, her tongue penetrated him, like she wanted to fight him for control. And hell if that didn’t set off all kinds of heat inside him.
He flipped them around and pinned her to the desk, nearly leaning her backwards over it. The position brought his hard-on flush with that sweet, hot spot between her legs. She cried out and tried to grind against him, but his weight and her skirt kept her pinned tight.
Hurt. Sub shop. Friends.
“Shit, wait.” He stepped back, putting space between them. Because he didn’t think he’d have the strength to resist a third time. Especially when she stared at him with such abject fucking need, her cheeks flush with desire, her hair mussed from his hands, her luscious breasts heaving under that clingy V-neck top. “You’re hurt.”
“And?” Kristina asked.
Noah glared. “Kristina, I’m kinda on the edge here, if you can’t tell.”
She slipped up onto the desk and spread her legs, just the little bit the skirt allowed.

Cover Reveal: It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time by Kylie Scott

We are thrilled to bring you the cover for the next standalone from New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Kylie Scott.


IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME will release on AUGUST 7th!


   



  "Addictive like all Kylie Scott books, you'll swoon, laugh, ache, put your life on hold, and compulsively read until the wee hours of the night—only to reread the whole thing the next morning. Perfection!" - Katy Evans, New York Times bestselling author 

  Returning home for her father’s wedding was never going to be easy for Adele. If being sent away at eighteen hadn’t been bad enough, the mess she left behind when she made a pass at her dad’s business partner sure was. Fifteen years older than her, Pete had been her crush for as long as she could remember. But she’d misread the situation—confusing friendliness for undying love. Awkward. Add her father to the misunderstanding, and Pete was left with a broken nose and a business on the edge of ruin. The man had to be just as glad as everyone else when she left town. Seven years later, things are different. Adele is no longer a kid, but a fully grown adult more than capable of getting through the wedding and being polite. But all it takes is seeing him again to bring back those old feelings. Sometimes first loves are the truest.

New Release: Speakeasy by Sarina Bowen + Excerpt & Review!




Speakeasy (True North #6)

by Sarina Bowen



Sometimes you fall for Mr. Right. And sometimes for Mr. Right Now…

 May

Did you hear the one about the girl who walks into a bar and catches her live-in lover kissing someone else? No? You’re the only one in town who missed it.
Luckily Alec is there to wrap me up in strong arms and carry me out the door before things get too ugly. And that’s not all Alec is good at. Our unexpected chemistry makes him the perfect rebound guy.

 Alec

I should know better than to hook up with my rival’s little sister, but the fiery look in May’s eyes really turns my crank. She needs cheering up, and I’m just the guy for the job.
It’s not like I’ll fall in love. Not even after a string of scorching hot trysts, and the realization that we’re good at the same things: wild nights and familial disappointment. I don’t do love, never have, never will. So this is the perfect arrangement, for both of us. 
Nobody would approve, but nobody has to know…

EXCERPT:


Someone appears in my peripheral vision. I get half a glance at a lithe body and long hair as a woman appears and then just as quickly retreats.
Wait. Was that…?
I ease my way down the aisle, past the snowboard bags and ski duffels, and then I peer around the corner just in time to spot May Shipley exiting the store.
Several lengthy strides carry me right out the door after her. May has exquisite long legs, so she’s making good time escaping from me across the parking lot. I put two fingers in my mouth and make a cat-call whistle.
May halts midstride. Busted. She turns around and regards me with a sheepish smile.
God, just one smile from her and I feel better already. I raise a finger and beckon. Then I lean against the brick exterior of the shop and wait.
She lifts her chin and walks toward me.
“May Shipley,” I complain as she approaches. “Am I crazy or did you just leave the building to avoid me back there?”
She puts one hand over her pretty eyes and laughs. “Okay, you caught me. Don’t make me feel worse.”
“Do we have a problem, here?” I reach out and tag her hand, then pull her closer to me. We’re toe to toe, though several layers of winter clothing separate us. Still, my whole body hums at the memory of her riding me in my truck. Gawd. So hot. “I get that our lawyer party date got a little crazy.”
“You think?” she squeaks. “I’m so embarrassed.”
“Why? So we had a little spur-of-the-moment sex. You really enjoyed my spur for a moment.”
“Omigod, stop.” May throws her head back and laughs. Her eyes dance, and I’m wearing a giant smile and feeling much more like myself.
“Don’t be embarrassed. I had a lot of fun.” That’s an understatement. I can’t stop thinking about it. Spontaneous truck sex with a long-legged beauty moaning on my dick? That night has made my personal hall of fame.
“Okay. I’ll try.” But the color in her cheeks is unmistakable. It’s cute as fuck.
“Come here.” I pull her into a hug, and she feels terrific against my body. “Let’s not be weird.”
May lifts her face in surprise. “I said that same thing to a good friend once.”
“Did it work?” I whisper because we’re so close together.
“Nope. Still weird.” She grins.
I laugh. And then I kiss her. I don’t even know how it happens. One second I’m just appreciating her smile, and the next second I’m owning it with my mouth.
May lets out a surprised whimper before her mouth softens under mine. I take my time kissing her until her hands spread the two halves of my jacket, finding my chest, gripping my flannel shirt. I need to taste her, so I part her lips with my tongue.
Suddenly my shoulder blades hit the bricks as May presses me up against the wall.
No, ma’am. I’ve just spent five nights imagining a scenario where our next encounter plays out in reverse—with me in charge. So I spin her around and back her up against the wall instead. And for good measure I pin her questing hands in mine, just because I can.
She makes a hungry noise, and I feel it in my balls. And then I dive back into her kisses, one of my thighs between her long legs.
May fights me, if by fighting me you mean she presses her hips against mine and gives me a nice, dirty grind.
I never liked the Shipleys, but now I realize I was hanging out with the wrong ones.
We lose our minds for several amazing minutes until the door of the ski shop opens suddenly. I take a quick step backward to preserve what’s left of our dignity.
Not that it works. We’re both flushed and panting, and I look like I’m trying to conceal a ski pole in the crotch of my jeans.
The young woman exiting the shop gives us a quizzical look as she bleeps the locks on her car.
“Jesus,” May breathes as we blink at each other.
“I know.” Every part of me is horny now. It’s cold outside, but I’m hot everywhere. My clothes feel constricting. I want to drag May back into my truck and have my way with her again.
“What are we doing?”
“Well, babydoll, we’re dry-humping each other in a parking lot.”
“Alec!” She reaches up, clapping a hand over my mouth. “That was a rhetorical question.”
I nod to show her I understand. But then I stick out my tongue and lick her palm where it’s pressed to my lips.
“Omigod, stop.” She removes her hand and wipes it on my flannel.
“You don’t really want me to. Admit it.”
“No, really I do.” Her embarrassed smile comes back. It’s so fucking cute. “I don’t need to be arrested for indecent exposure.”
“Fair enough. But that’s why you’re going to come over tonight. Late. Like eleven.” I’m supposed to be tending bar until ten and then closing up early, because it’s Sunday night.
“Why?”
“Why do you think? So I can strip you down and lick you all over until you’re screaming my—”
May puts that hand over my mouth again. “Anyone could hear you.”
“Nah,” I say from under her hand. She removes it. “I have brick walls at home. It helps with sound control. So even when my headboard starts to bang while I’m fucking you—”
She tries to cover my mouth again, but this time I catch her hand in midair, because I’m a sex ninja. And I hold it in mine. “Just come over. I’ve been thinking about you all week. Once wasn’t enough.” I lift her palm to my mouth and kiss it tenderly.
“Apparently not.” Her cheeks pink up. “But I really can’t get involved with anyone right now.”
“Duh.” I actually roll my eyes. “I’m your rebound lay. Relationships aren’t my style, and I’m allergic to commitment. So we’ll have exactly the same expectations—some very athletic sex.”
Her lips part on an dreamy expression, but then she snaps them closed again.
“Don’t overthink it, counselor. The judge orders you to his chambers at ten.”






REVIEW:

4 stars
****

 Speakeasy was a good addition to this series! This is Alec and May's story. May is the middle child of the Shipley family (from previous books in the series). She is a recovered alcoholic, bisexual lawyer who catches her emotionally abusive girlfriend cheating on her in Alec's bar. May and Alec know each other from their small town, so he helps her out in that emotional moment by taking her out of the bar and helping her move out of her shared apartment, away from her now-ex-girlfriend. From that night on, they begin a friendship, which develops into friends with benefits and eventually into a relationship. They have to deal with a good bit, such as family drama, business difficulties, etc., but they manage to weather it all and get their happy ever after. 

I enjoyed this book. I liked May and Alec. I liked Alec, especially, and enjoyed how cute and somewhat innocent about relationships he was. He was a doll and he adored May. I didn't connect with May as much, and I'm not sure if that was because of her bisexuality, her alcoholism or her feelings of not fitting in with her family. I did like her character, though, and I liked them together as a couple. They both needed someone who took them as they are and loved them despite their flaws. I liked that there wasn't a lot of angst or pushing away, and no separation. This book dealt with some serious subjects, like alcoholism, family drama, emotional relationship abuse,etc., but it was not heavy read. It still felt like a lighter, easy book. 

Overall, I enjoyed Speakeasy and think it is one of my favorites from this series. I was happy to see May and Alec find happiness. I look forward to more from True North and Ms. Bowen in the future!

New Release: Wild Hunger by Suzanne Wright + Review!




Wild Hunger
by Suzanne Wright


When half–wolf shifter Frankie Newman receives an e-mail from a family member she didn’t know existed, a secret is revealed: as a child, Frankie witnessed her father killing her mother…and then himself. Frankie was torn from her pack by her mother’s human relatives, and the trauma was erased from her memory. Realizing that she’s been lied to her entire life, she’s never felt more alone. Until she catches the scent of an old friend—warmly familiar and intoxicating.

Trick Hardy, enforcer of the Phoenix Pack, can sense the rush of mutual attraction when he sees Frankie again. He knows immediately that she’s his true mate. But he also knows that, given her fragile state, he needs to tread with care—no matter how fierce his surging desires.

As aroused as Frankie is by Trick’s darkly dominant air and simmering desire, her priority right now is her past—not her future, no matter how tempting. But as more secrets emerge and Frankie’s life is threatened, Trick must do everything he can to keep her close and safe. After all, it’s their destiny.

Review:  
4 stars
****
Wild Hunger was a good addition to my favorite shifter series! This is Trick and Frankie's story. Frankie and Trick were in the same pack as children. Frankie is a half human/half wolf shifter. Tragedy happened to her parents when she was young, causing her to be raised by her human grandparents outside of the pack. Now, her shifter grandmother is dying, so she has asked to meet Frankie one last time. So some of the pack members, including Trick, go to meet Frankie and invite her to their territory. The minute he lays eyes on Frankie, Trick knows she is his mate. He gradually pursues her, and they spend time together and fall for each other. There is some suspense and mystery regarding the tragedy from Frankie's family past and a threat to her life for them to fight together, but they overcome to get their HEA. 

I really liked Trick and Frankie both together and as characters. Frankie was strong and not a pushover, but also kind and open to Trick. She is an amazing sculptor too. Trick is laid back, but determined to win Frankie over and not let her go. I loved that Trick recognized Frankie as his mate on site. I did really enjoy seeing their relationship develop. They were a great couple and I liked that they came together easily, with low angst and no pushing away. All of the drama in the book came from outside forces. 

I was really loving the story, but in the end, I felt there was too much OW/OM drama. Trick is bisexual and had some previous partners, male and female. While they were just flings or "scratch my itch" type partners, they popped up too much in the story and caused Frankie to feel hurt and insecure. I know it was used as plot device in the suspense storyline in this situation, but it did bother me. Trick wasn't a manwhore, so why bring so much attention to his meaningless partners from the past. It took away from their relationship a bit and disappointed me. It was obvious that Trick cared only about Frankie and adored her. 

Still, I really enjoyed this book as I always do Ms. Wright's books. The book was nice and long with a good, interesting story. There is the trademark humor, sexiness and emotion I expect from this series. I look forward to more from the Phoenix pack in the future!




In her dark and deliciously satisfying Phoenix Pack series, Suzanne Wright proves that paranormal romance may be the most powerful aphrodisiac of all. The sensual and intense tales focus on a group of sexy wolf shifters who live and love among humans. On a passionate hunt for their true mates, these protective Alpha males must constantly navigate a world where anti-shifter sentiment runs high, and claim what is rightfully theirs in order to protect the pack. Shifter romance at its best, the Phoenix Pack series will captivate fans of Nalini Singh and Shelly Laurenston. 


Praise for Suzanne Wright’s Phoenix Pack Series

 "I love this series! Suzanne Wright writes the most fantastic paranormal romance – great action, romantic, super-smutty and laugh-out-loud funny. Her books are great fun to read, and I absolutely loved this one!" —​The Escapist Book Blog

​ on ​Savage Urges 

 "Dark Instincts 
​ is an intriguing, darkish, lusty tale and I'd recommend it to fans of shifter-themed romance novels." —​The Book Den

BOOK BLURB: 

 I'm the last single woman among my friends. Don't feel sorry for me. I'm fine with flying solo, especially with ski season right around the corner. You won't hear me complaining. Until my mother decides I need a date for my cousin's wedding ... and chooses the worst man in the world for me. Landon Roberts is the human equivalent of a parka with every ski pass he's ever purchased hanging off of his zipper. Apparently my mother is the last person in Colorado to know about Landon's reputation. To make things worse, his super hot brother Aiden's back in town. Still gorgeous and still not remotely interested in me. I can survive this wedding disaster as long as I pretend my date is someone else. *** As one of the stars of Aspen's rugby club, I don't need help meeting women. Tell that to my mother. She's picked out my date for the biggest wedding of the year. Mae London is the local girl who broke every heart in the valley before she left for California. Now she's back and hotter than ever. Too bad she hates me. Enlisting the help of my brother, I'm going to become the ideal man, and charm Mae right out of her bad opinion of me. This wedding date will be perfect as long as I pretend to be someone else.  



Excerpt:



“Yes, Mother Dear?” I fold my hands and put on my wide-eyed innocent face.
“Save it for your revolving door of women.” She places her empty glass on the island counter. “Do you have a date for the wedding?”
“What wedding?” I ask because I’m sure there is more than one upcoming wedding on her radar.
“The London-Tierney wedding, of course. Unless you’ve had one concussion too many and can’t remember our conversation from five minutes ago.” She’s not even a little amused by me right now.
“Why would I have a date for a wedding I’m not going to?” Crossing my arms, I lean against the counter. Mom’s had too many glasses of rosé.
“You’ll be invited. Invitations will be sent out this week.”
“I think I’ll be out of town. Playing rugby.” There’s no way I’m missing one of the last tournaments of the season for some society wedding.
“I thought the season ended mid-September with Rugby Fest?” Aiden’s grin tells me he knows he just threw me under the bus.
“It does. Didn’t Mom say September was the wedding? I’m sure I’m busy every weekend.” I feel the solid ground of my excuse begin to slip out from under my feet.
“It’s Columbus Day. That’s mid October,” she adds like I’m an idiot, which apparently I am because I just blew my out. “And you have to go because I’ve already told Mrs. London you’ll be Mae’s date.”
“What?” I ask, my voice cracking.
“Why?” Aiden sets down his beer with too much force. The glass makes a loud cracking noise against the marble, but doesn’t break.
“Yeah, why?” I echo him. “If I have to attend, I can bring my own choice of dates. I’m not some sad sack who needs his mother to set him up. Not like Aiden. Make Aiden shave off the recluse disguise and take her. If either of us needs help with the opposite sex, it’s him, not me. I’m sure he doesn’t have any other options.”
I can’t believe she thinks this crazy idea is going to fly with me. Anger heats my neck as I try to process why she thinks I’ll go along with her plan.
“Fuck off, Landon,” Aiden mumbles, wiping the bottom of his bottle with his open palm, checking for leaks.
Mom’s lips curve with the start of a small frown. “Can you two be in the same place for more than five minutes without sounding like the dialogue from an R-Rated mob movie?”
“No,” I say, sarcastically.
“It was a rhetorical question, Dumbass.” Aiden stares at the ceiling before mumbling, “I really need to get my own place as soon as possible.”
“You could always move back in here. We have a guest suite on the lower level with its own bathroom.” Mom touches his forearm, hope shining bright in her eyes.
“Thanks, but I can’t move home with my parents. I’m thirty, and while I’m not even in the running for wedding date material, I do have some pride left.” Aiden rests his hand over hers.
“Oh, sweetheart. I assumed you’d be gone before October. Plus, Landon and Mae are friends.” Mom reassures him, her voice all lovey and doting.
“We are?” I ask. “Since when?”
“Aren’t you? You grew up together and I know you run in similar circles in Aspen. When I ran into her at the bridal shower she was with Sage Blum, who dates your team’s captain. You can go to the wedding as foursome.”
Yeah, she’s definitely been pounding the pink wine if she believes any of that bullshit. I don’t even know where to begin unraveling her words.
