My Review

**ARC received in return for an honest review

Once Upon A Wish-mas has all the feels to make this the perfect heart-warming Christmas feel-good romance story. If this were a Christmas film it would be right up there with my all time faves I watch every year. I just want to wrap my arms around it and squeeze the hell out of it, I loved it that much. 

I adored Ruby and her story. I laughed out loud at the, sometimes embarrassing, predicaments she got herself into, one of which was the candle at the Carol service, lol! I chuckled at her sass with the gorgeous Barclay. I fumed, laughed, fumed some more and cheered over her run-ins with the snooty mothers on the PTA committee and my heart melted with her relationship with those two adorable girls. They were sooo cute!

Once Upon A Wish-mas should be read curled up in front of the fire sipping a hot chocolate with the Christmas tree lights twinkling and the best Christmas tunes playing quietly in the background to ensure the best reading experience. 1-click this baby and ENJOY!!
**Be prepared, you may have a few tears.

Release Blitz: Breaker by Harloe Rae




Title: Breaker
Author: Harloe Rae
Genre: New Adult Romance
Release Date: October 24, 2019

Synopsis


“Tell me a happy something, Sutton.”

I was only seven the first time Grady Bowen whispered those words to me. Cloaked by the black sky under a blanket of stars, it was easy to get lost. He didn’t have any good memories of his own, and needed to borrow mine. I’d willingly give him anything. 

Being infatuated with that boy was a beautiful curse. What could have been special didn’t get the chance to bloom. He’d never see me as more than his best friend’s kid sister. That was a hard lesson to learn, but not the most difficult. 

Grady had always been struggling against the odds. Eventually he quit fighting and let his family’s reputation own him. Try as I might, those influences were beyond my reach. 

He didn’t mean to break my heart. Or maybe he did. I shouldn’t have made it so easy for him. Either way, our wrongs against each other carved new lines between us. 

I went four years without seeing Grady—each one more painful than the last. That distance did nothing to dull my feelings toward him. But things are different now. Most noticeably is Grady. I barely recognize this man he’s become. And that’s the way he intends to keep it. Not that it really matters. 

Grady Bowen stopped being my happy something long ago.

Excerpt

I checked the time. “Who would be delivering at this hour? Did you order something?”
She pursed her lips. “No.”
We eyed the door suspiciously as if a mass murderer would knock at the door any second. When it came, we both jumped and eyed each other before Lizzy took bold steps toward the door. It was stupid to let fear grab hold of us. Who could possibly want to target us? Yet…
Behind the door, a teen with brightly colored hair and makeup to match held up a bag.
“Bailey Glicks,” she said to Lizzy.
Curious, I stood, wondering what this delivery was about. The delicious smell, however, was telling. Yet I hadn’t ordered any food.
“I’m Bailey.”
The girl smirked at me before stepping forward, but Lizzy didn’t budge. Teen or not, this was New York and Lizzy didn’t let her through the door.
I held out my hand, wondering what she knew that I didn’t. When I reached her, she dumped the bag in my hand. “Enjoy,” she said, spinning on her combat boots and leaving without waiting for a tip.
“What was that about?” Lizzy asked, watching the girl make her way to the elevator before softly closing the door.
“I don’t know,” I said, setting the bag on the island and slowly opening it.
On top lay an envelope. I snagged it and hopped up on a stool. Lizzy came over to lean over my shoulder.
“What does it say?” she asked.
I read it out loud. “My plans for tonight were to feed you before fucking you. I always make good on my promises.–K.”

Blog Tour:One Shameless Night (West Sisters #2) by A.M. Hargrove + 5* review

 



Title: ONE SHAMELESS NIGHT (West Sisters #2) 
Author: A.M. Hargrove 
Cover Design: Maria at Steamy Designs
 Photographer: Eric David Battershell
Model: Parker Ramsay
Release Date: September 5, 2019


  
Synopsis

The first time I saw Alessandro, two things came to mind. 
Sexy and naked. 
You get the idea.
Thanks to him, my flight from hell became the best one I’d ever been on. 
Turned out, the engaging, gorgeous passenger, was my new professor…and the ultimate jerk.
Rude, prick, cocksucker, were a few choice names I’d love to call him. 
How was this offensive man the same human I’d met on the plane?
His soul must’ve been invaded by demons after leaving the airport. 
To think I’d almost joined the mile high club with him. Almost. 
Everywhere I went he was there raining more insults on me.
Until I saw him with his adorable mini look-alike. 
That charming little boy melted my heart. 
Before I knew it, I’d accepted his son’s invitation to play soccer.
What the hell was I thinking? 
I hated that man.
But naked and sexy had gotten me into this mess. 
And not even hate could get me out.

My Review 
*ARC received in return for an honest review

Oh, I loved everything about this book!! And that cover...swoons, it's sooo sexy, there's just something about a guy wearing glasses😍 

One Shameless Night is book #2 in The West Sisters, a spin-off of The West Brothers, and this series just gets better. As usual, with this author, I have been on an emotional roller coaster and have loved every minute of it!

I'm a huge fan of A.M. Hargrove's work. I love the way she weaves a story that has you laughing out loud at her hilarious sense of humour one minute then sitting on the edge of your seat in heart-stopping suspense as the tense drama unfolds, the next. 

As soon as I realise there's a child involved the story I know I'm in trouble, as she writes just the most adorable kids who just tug on your heart strings, and little Gabriele was no exception. 

I loved Piper's feistiness, strength and her knack to get into more than her fair share of awkward and embarrassing situations. The waxing scene had me laughing out loud, it was so funny. Piper was definitely a force to reckon with when her temper was in full flow, I wouldn't want to mess with her.

Alessandro was much more than just your average hot, college professor. He was a man who was passionate about those he loved. He would do anything to keep them safe, even if it meant putting his own happiness and love life on a back burner to achieve this. But that was before Piper...


The chemistry between Alessandro and Piper was so hot, they practically burned right of the pages! They were perfect for each other.


Gabriele, Alessandro's 6 year old son, melted my heart. He was so adorable and funny, he had the adults wrapped around his little finger.


Although there was a lot of humour throughout the book there was also a fair share of gripping drama which was quite traumatic in places. I was actually holding my breath with suspense at one point. 

If you're a fan of single-dad romances featuring hot, sexy, spectacle-wearing Italian professors and you love feisty, strong female leads and cute, adorable six year olds then this is definitely the book for you. 

I can't recommend One Shameless Night highly enough, I was hooked from the beginning!
