Bookish Ramblings

 


Happy Friday! It's been a whirlwind busy week. I've not gotten as much done as I would have hoped but I have gotten some projects and reading done. 

The Poptart kindle sleeves continue they are just so cute I can't seem to get enough of them. This one turned out adorable. I'm already started on a pastel one and I can't wait to start the goth poptart I have on my list. 

I've got The Housemaid on my list this weekend it's perfect for my thriller challenge. I've heard great things and can't wait to check it out. 

I'm currently finishing up Hate by Tate James and than I'll be starting Serpents of Sky and Flame by the very talented Rebecca F Kenney. I love her story telling she's very talented and I love her books.


How's your week going?

Can you whisper?
Something I never thought I’d ask the guy who is exactly my type
but completely wrong for me.
Someone I sneak secret glances at from a distance while vowing to never get too close.
And then I get tossed in jail. With him.
Know how forced proximity and extreme panic go together?
They don’t. And the walls I spent a lifetime erecting around me crack,
giving him an intimate view of all the secrets I work so hard to protect.
Color me surprised when the pierced, tattooed DJ doesn’t recoil or call me a freak.
Arsen gets me through the night, his attention like a match to my insides,
lighting me on fire and making me burn.
Keeping my distance is impossible.
My body begs to be near him, but we just don’t mix.
He’s fire. I’m water.
Sound is his superpower but my kryptonite.
For once in my life, my heart is louder than my head, and I can’t stay away.
But it seems following my heart leads me straight into trouble.
Turns out I’m not the only one who thinks maybe Arsen and I don’t belong together,
and the people who agree will go to extremes to make sure we stay apart.

Opposites attract
A single jail cot
Star-crossed lovers

Tropes: Why Choose/Reverse Harem, Kidnapping
Forced Proximity, MMMF, Revenge
Release Date: April 19, 2024

BLURB
The worst secrets are the ones you can never tell.

I've become an expert at hiding bruises.
No one knows about the scars I hide under my clothes ... except for my best friend, Embry.
One horrible night, things go too far, and Embry insists on sending her cousin to help.
A wild, inked, bad boy and member of a notorious biker club.
I didn't count on him riding to my house with two of his MC brothers.
The three overbearing, possessive outlaws won't take no for an answer when I refuse.

Slash, Embry's cousin and my secret crush. I never told him how I felt. He's a reckless, dangerous, brooding giant who growls every word. He's rumored to have earned his road name through his ruthless skill with a blade.

Gunner, the trio's older, more experienced alpha, insists on keeping his distance and barking orders. But the look in those stormy gray eyes betrays his struggle, especially when they flash with heat and raze my body with their smolder.

And then there's Havoc, a pierced, tattooed playboy with lean muscle and coiled strength. He's left a mile-long line of broken hearts in his wake. But when his dark eyes focus on me, I swear he's plotting how to maim everyone who's ever hurt me.

The three bikers swear to keep me safe.
They won't rest until the threat against me is eliminated.
But they didn't know what they'd dig up. Lies, corruption, and a trafficking ring are only the beginning.
My father's debts and horrifying choices reveal truths I can't escape.
The only way I'm surviving this mess is to trust the Feral Rebels MC.
And let Slash, Gunner, and Havoc claim me.

This book has a brief crossover with the Tonopah and Las Vegas, NV Chapters of the Royal Bastards MC. If you read Hell on Wheels, this is Molly's story.

CLAIMED BY THE BIKERS is a motorcycle club romance where the girl gets all the bad boys and doesn't have to choose between them to get her happy ever after. It's book 1 in the FERAL REBELS MC that consists of standalone romances with ongoing plotlines and interconnecting characters. There's violence, biker slang, kidnapping, forced proximity, a taboo romance, and possessive, protective alpha outlaws who fall first.

And he runs an exclusive secret dating agency Enchanted Nests…where omegas get matched to rich AF alphas.

RELEASE BLITZ - Until It Was Love by Pippa Grant




Title: Until It Was Love
A Complicated Situationship RomCom
Author: Pippa Grant
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Teammate's Sister, Enemies to Lovers
Accidentally Dating, Grumpy/Sunshine
Release Date: April 11, 2024

BLURB

There are a million reasons why I shouldn’t agree to a date with Fletcher Huxley.

He’s a growly-faced, stubborn-streaked, international rugby legend trying to revive his flailing career in the US after being canned by his team overseas.

While he might have the good kind of thunder thighs, intriguing tattoos, and a booty of steel, he also holds the top position on my very short nemesis list thanks to what happened the first time we met.

Plus, his mustache is as terrible as the reason he’s picked me to be the woman he wants to date.

But he has one big checkmark in the why this date is a good idea column: he’s my brother’s new teammate.

They already hate each other.

And my brother has made an unfortunate habit of interfering with my love life recently.

So a revenge date with Fletcher to make my brother mad? While letting Fletcher think this date is merely for the good of the team?

Yep.

I’m in.

I’m moving to London for work in a month. And it’s just one date. What could possibly go wrong?

Until It Was Love is a banter-tastic romcom featuring an overgrown snack of a man with a soft spot for his purse dog, a normally optimistic life coach trying to live her best life, a mustache catastrophe, and one little tiny fainting spell. It stands alone and comes complete with a swoony happily ever after that will leave your heart in a happy puddle of joy.

Release Date: April 11, 2024

BLURB
Gideon:

For the past five years, all I’ve thought about is revenge.

Shot and left for dead by the people I trusted, only to be saved and taken to an even worse hell, I vowed to make them pay. To make them suffer as I once did. To listen to their pleas for mercy as they draw their final breath.

But to do that, I need her.

Which comes with its own risks.

I may be able to make everyone else believe my lies, but Imogene’s not like everyone else.

And if anyone might recognize me beneath my carefully planned disguise, it’s the woman I once planned to marry.

Imogene:

I moved to California for a fresh start. After the past five years, I was desperate to finally leave the past behind me. What better place to do that than Southern California?

Until I’m attacked and nearly killed in a dark alley.

I would have been if he hadn’t intervened.

Gideon Saint. Mysterious. Dangerous. Lethal.

And possessing eyes that look far too much like the man I lost all those years ago.

But that’s impossible. Samuel Tate is dead. Apart from those haunting blue eyes, he bears little resemblance to the man I once gave my heart.

At least that’s what I try to tell myself. Because if he is Samuel, where has he been the past five years?

And why did he make the world believe he was dead?

Unexpected fatherhood, a newborn daughter and a nanny in the next bedroom he can't stop fantasizing about.

My choice: single fatherhood or sign adoption papers.

The decision is easy.

Within hours, I'm on a plane to collect my daughter.

I’m in over my head. I barely know one end of a baby from the other. Luckily, I have the perfect plan. I’ll hire live-in help, have limited involvement with the kid, and keep my life just the same as it’s always been.

I finally find a nanny who lives up to my exacting standards. But the only problem is, every time I look at her, the future I thought I wanted starts to crumble.

Nothing in my life is going according to plan… and the wriggling poo machine in my arms is unexpectedly worming her way into my heart.

Life was ordered and logical until I got myself two roommates and started falling in love with both of them.

A standalone romance.
