Blog Tour: One Indecent Night (A West Sisters Novel #1) by A.M. Hargrove + excerpt + 5* review

 

      

Title: One Indecent Night
Series: West Sisters #1 
Author: A.M. Hargrove 
Release Date: June 12, 2019


Synopsis

The day I saw Sylvie West standing next to the bride, something moved in me I was certain had died.
I’d known her since she was a pain-in-the-rear kid, but she was my best friend’s cousin, and off limits.
He also told me he’d strangle me if I ever laid a hand on her.
When she downed tequila like water at the reception, and then danced on the table, all bets were off.
She was my kind of woman, and forbidden or not, I was going to make her mine.
Only when morning broke, I woke up to a different Sylvie—one who didn’t remember a single thing about the passion-filled night we’d shared.
Now, I had to prove I was the one who was meant for her.
After she put up one obstacle after another, the time had come to pull every trick out of my hat.
And Sylvie had no idea I was one tricky bastard.
But the last thing I expected was for her to turn the tables and play the last trick on me.

Excerpt 


I was dabbing at my coffee stain when a knock sounded on the door. “Come on in, Grey.” 
The door opened, and he walked in. “It’s not Grey.” 
My head jerked up to see Evan standing there. “What are you doing here?”
“Sorry for the subterfuge, but I had to find a way to see you. You’re quite stubborn, you know.”
“So you lied?”
He shrugged. “With permission.”
I gawked at him. “What does that mean?” 
“It means I spoke to Grey first. He said it was okay.” 
“Oh, my God. You’re both conspiring against me.”
“Sweets, I only wanted to return something of yours and you gave me such a hard time of it, this was the only way I knew how.” 
“What are you talking about?”
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a thong. Then the bastard dangled it in front of me. “Recognize this?” 
Shit. It was mine. I went to snatch it, but he pulled it out of my reach. “Oh, no. It won’t be that easy. In order to get it back, you have to go to dinner with me.”
“What? That’s blackmail.”
“Not really. What will I do to you if you don’t go?” 
He really couldn’t do anything.
“See, you get my point. We can go anywhere you’d like, as long as it’s a sit down dinner where they have a great wine list.”
“And if I choose not to go?” 
He smirked. “That’s easy. I get to keep this.” 
Then the asshole put it up to his nose and inhaled. “Ahh, my favorite scent.”


My review
*ARC received in return for an honest review

One Indecent Night is the first in a spin-off series of the West Brothers. If you've read that awesome series then you will have met Sylvie in the third book, From Smoke To Flames. 
When I read the prologue of One Indecent Night (featured at the end of From Smoke To Flames) I couldn't wait to read Sylvie and Evan's story as it promised to a good one. And I was right. I LOVED it!!!

I am a huge fan of A.M. Hargrove and I swear her writing just gets better and better. I love diving into a new book of hers and discovering another new book boyfriend to lust/obsess over. Another strong feisty female lead with a quirky sense of humour to adore. Another family circle I wish I was part of. And another exciting plot to shout, swoon, cry and laugh over.

I adored Sylvie and Evan, they are now one of my favourite couples. 
Sweet, unassuming Sylvie with a passion for raunchy books. Sexy Evan who couldn't wait to put some of the those sexy scenes into practice. Their chemistry was hot and passionate and the banter between them had me chuckling away to myself.
The plot flowed along easily, keeping me hooked and when I least expected it, the rug was pulled out from under me. One minute I'm laughing my head off and the next I'm bawling my eyes out. 

I know I haven't done this book no where near the justice that it deserves but, trust me, I can't recommend One Indecent Night highly enough. It's a sexy, funny and heart-warming read but be warned...you may just need tissues. I did!

My rating...

Release Day Blitz: Buzz - A Second Chance Romance by Karli Perrin + 5* review


Title:  Buzz - A Second Chance Romance
Author: Karli Perrin
Release Date: April 1, 2019

Synopsis
Womanizer.
Casanova.
Heartbreaker.
Skirt-chaser.
And my personal favourite, Mr Steal Your Girl.
I've been called them all. 
But still, the women keep on coming. 
And coming.
Hundreds of women slide into my DM’s and I slide into their…well, I think you can see where I'm going with this.
Men want to be me and women want to bed me.
Despite what the bunny boilers of San Francisco call me, I go by the name of Buzz.
I'm 6’4” and the proud owner of a six-pack, beard and too many tattoos to count.
I’m a walking wet dream.
For the longest time, I didn’t believe in love. I didn’t even believe in relationships. I couldn’t understand why anybody would willingly choose to have sex with only one person.
Until I met Lori.
She turned my entire world upside down and made me feel things which I didn’t even know I was capable of. But when I couldn’t deal with her career as a honey trapper, I lost her.
But now I want her back.
And I always get what I want.
It’s lucky that I found her again.
It’s unlucky that she has a new boyfriend.
Unlucky for him.

***Although Buzz can be read as a standalone, it is advised to read The Honey Trap first as it provides some background to Buzz and Lori's story. The Honey Trap is currently free in Kindle Unlimited.***
 





My Review
*ARC received in return for an honest review

Oh, I LOVED this book, and Buzz, to infinity and beyond!!! 

We first met Buzz in The Honey Trap and it was obvious as soon as he burst onto the scene that he was too big of a character to just sit on the sidelines. He was definitely shouting for his own story. If you've not read The Honey Trap yet then I recommend you read it before Buzz to get a better understanding of his back story, and to avoid possible spoilers.

Buzz was so not what I was expecting. I thought it would pick up where The Honey Trap left off but it didn’t. Instead it chronicled the journey of Lori and Buzz, from when they first met to how they broke up and how Buzz tried to win her back. And boy, what an explosive journey it was, I was worn out by the end! 

Karli Perrin has totally smashed it with Buzz's story and I couldn't get enough of him. I was gutted when I read the last page, I wanted it continue indefinitely. 
I totally fell for that larger-than-life hunk with his naughty, dirty talking ways. I loved how he knew just what Lori needed, even before she did. Although I thought they were perfect together, I did think Lori strung Buzz along a bit longer than was necessary. I wanted to give her a shake to get her to see sense.

Buzz is a funny, hot, passionately explosive and emotional tale of a second chance romance between two people who are destined to be together, no matter what. I have growled in frustration, fanned myself with the hot passion and laughed my way through this book and I can't recommend it highly enough.
Do yourself a favour and make Buzz your next read, you won't regret it.

throwing herself into work and neglecting life and love.
She has no idea life is choking her until him…

He’s so centered, so calm.
She needs someone to save her from herself.
Redeem her from her past mistakes.

Excerpt 

“Can I get your number?” he asks, catching my elbow to halt me and then letting it go just as fast.
I still for a moment then look back and shake my head. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.” 
He faintly tilts his head and studies me for a moment. The crystal blue of his eyes bore into me, breaking his stare I look over at Louise and Cami. 
“Charlotte,” he implores in his rich whiskey voice. I move my gaze back to him, shaking my head. “How long are you in town for?” 
“I’m here to stay,” I reply softly. 
A hint of a smile quirks on his lips. “Maybe we will run into each other again then.”
“Perhaps,” I offer. “If we are meant to be friends, I’m sure the stars will align and we will meet again.” I was channeling my inner Louise with that line of rubbish. I have to bite the inside of my lower lip to keep myself from smiling. 
“You are very intriguing, Charlotte.” 
My name on his lips gives me pause, but I force myself to finish our goodbye. It’s for the best. This is the first day of my exciting new life, the last thing I want or need is to get tangled up in a messy break up. “I’ll catch you later,” I say with finality. Turning to walk away, I try to make a smooth departure but trip on air. One second I’m falling and the next I’m caught around my waist and lifted back up to my feet. I don’t even have a second to process what happened before he speaks.
“Careful, kitten,” he murmurs close to my ear. “You’ll hurt yourself.”
I shiver, goose bumps ripple down my arms. I turn around to look at him and our faces are too close for comfort. I take a step back so that I can breathe. “Thank you, I’m not usually so clumsy.” 
“It was my pleasure…What’s your last name?” 
I wonder for a moment if I want to give him that information, but then it comes unbidden from my lips. “Rose.” 
“Charlotte Rose.” He takes my hand, bending down to kiss my knuckles. “Until we meet again,” he says softly, and then he turns and walks away.

My review 
*ARC received in return for an honest review

Five perfect stars!!! 
Omg, I FLOVED this book!! Deliciously sweet, so HOT, so real and so, so addictive. I have a huge book hangover. SAORSA is my new addiction. If it was a movie I’d have it on repeat, I need more! 

I've been a huge fan of Kerry Heavens right from the beginning (Just Human is still one of my top favourite series) and only discovered Heather Shere last year (adored Honey Bee), so I knew I was in for a treat and wow, what a treat Saorsa was! The plot flowed so quickly and effortlessly that you’d be forgiven for thinking that this duo had been writing together for years, instead of it being their debut collaboration. My attention was captured from the very first page, I couldn’t wait to see what happened to Charlotte. 

Heavens & Shere have created such wonderful characters with flaws and issues that most of us could probably relate to which is what makes them, and the plot, so real and believable and, so easy to love. I loved the chemistry between Charlotte and Rhys, which was evident from the first time they met. It was passionate...electric and I found myself being swept away in the moment with them! *sighs*
I also loved the supporting characters, especially Michael. I have a very soft spot for him. 
There was just enough angst to keep me on the edge of my seat but overall this is a wonderful tale of starting afresh, taking a leap of faith, finding oneself. 

I want to say sooo much but I’m afraid of revealing spoilers but I will say I LOVED the ending!! 

Something tells me we haven’t seen the last from this fabulous new writing team or, I hope, these characters as I’m not ready to let them go just yet. Plus, I NEED to know what happens with the other characters. 

I loved EVERYTHING about Saorsa and I can’t recommend it highly enough, go 1-click it now and I’ll guarantee you’ll fall in love with it just as much as I have. Are you still here? Go on, get 1-clicking!
