Release Blitz: Raiden (A Kent Brothers Novel #2) by A.M. Hargrove + 5 star review

    


  Title: Raiden 
Author: A.M. Hargrove 
Series: A Kent Brothers Novel (#2) 
Cover: Talia of Red Hot Ink and BookCover Kingdom

Release Date: September 24, 2020

Synopsis

Raiden Kent. Wealthy. Possessive. Commanding. 

To say his intense reaction to Scottie Sullivan barging into his life shocked him was an understatement. 

Shrewd, savvy, confident, the former DEA agent ran circles around him in cyber security, his specialty. 

Her curves and beauty made focusing on business absurd. 

Raiden couldn’t predict Scottie would be his guardian angel in disguise, or how badly he needed her protection. 

The day she saved his life made that clear. 

Now he had to choose if having Scottie by his side was worth the angst she created. 

Could he handle the constant threats hanging over her head each time she strode out the door?

Would her insistence on playing hero be their destruction? Raiden recognized one thing. 

A strong, independent woman like Scottie would never be dictated to. 
He had a choice to make that would change everything.

My Review 
*Arc received in return for an honest review 

What a ride I have been on!! I loved everything about this book! The characters. The plot. The thrill of the danger. The excitement. I just love, love, loved it!!!!!


A.M. Hargrove has done it again with another awesome read, I'm totally loving this darker side from her. RAIDEN is the second book in the Kent series with ACER being the first. Raiden does feature quite a bit in the first book as do the most of the supporting characters so I suggest you read ACER first, if you haven’t already, to avoid possible spoilers and to get a better understanding of the characters and the story. 


I thoroughly enjoyed this gripping story, it pulled me in from the very beginning. The plot was fast-paced and exciting, it never let up for one minute. 

There's nothing I love more than a good book that pulls me in from the beginning, keeps me guessing with the plot twists and holds me there until the last page, wishing for more and RAIDEN has this in spades.


I loved the danger of it all and, at times I couldn’t take the suspense and nearly caved, wanting to jump to the end to see how things turned out for Raiden and Scottie...but I didn’t, even though it nearly killed me! 


I adored Raiden and Scottie, I think they could be my favourite couple from the whole series. I liked the fact that they didn't hang about with where their relationship was going. They were quite a strong minded and passionate couple who knew what they wanted from each other and weren't afraid to go for it. Their hot-as-hell chemistry lit up my kindle!

I can't recommend this book highly enough. If you enjoyed ACER then you’re gonna love RAIDEN. My nerves were on high alert, the adrenaline pumping so hard I couldn’t read fast enough. There was so much going on with the main characters, as well the secondary ones, that the story just whizzed past and suddenly I’m at the end, feeling like I’ve been hit with a ten tonne truck. 


This series just gets better and better...I can not WAIT to read Cruze’s story!!

  Excerpt


Raiden escorted me to the elevator when the day ended, which he usually did, and we struck up a conversation about the weekend. It was Friday, and he began by asking, “Any exciting plans for tonight?” 


Other than putting on my jammies and binge-watching Netflix, like I did every weekend, there was zilch on the calendar.  


“Not tonight, I don’t.”

 “Does that mean you have plans for tomorrow night?”


 I cast him a glance and asked, “Are you just curious or you asking for a particular reason?” 


“Yeah, I thought if you were free, maybe we could grab some dinner tonight.” 


I paused. Not wanting to sound like an eager pup, I answered, “Hmm. Can I get back to you on that?” 


“What’s there to think about?”

 “You’re not going to take me to one of those places that only serves sprouts and tofu, are you?” 


He cocked his head and guffawed. It was contagious and soon I was laughing too. 


 “Not a sprouts and tofu fan, huh?”


 “Not that there’s anything wrong with them because I’ll eat just about anything, but after that healthy lunch, I need to score some meat.”


 That didn’t come out exactly like I’d planned, and he smirked. Oh, Lordy, was he sexy when he did that. 


 “Score some meat, huh? That can definitely be arranged, Ms. Sullivan.” 


Jesus, my face was on fire. What the hell had I been thinking? 


 “Uh, I was thinking more along the lines of a burger or steak.” 


His hand moved over his chest. “What a disappointment. My hopes were raised for nothing.” 


“Oh, stop it. I’m sure you have women falling at your feet.”


 “Falling at my feet, huh?” 

“Yeah. Snap your fingers and they come running.” “I can’t deny there’s not a shortage of them, but there’s one problem.” 


“Oh? What’s that?” 


The elevator dinged, and the doors whooshed open. He bent his head and whispered, “None of them are you.” His warm breath fanned over my neck and I shivered.

Release Blitz: Butterfly Kisses (Colwich Lake series #3) by H.A. Robinson + 5* review



Title: Butterfly Kisses
Series: The Colwich Lake series #3
Author: H.A. Robinson
Designed By: Shower Of Schmidt Designs 
Release Date: July 31, 2020

Synopsis
 
At eighteen years old, Beatrix Oliver has had to learn many painful truths. 

Happiness can be ripped away in a single heartbeat, leaving cold, lonely emptiness behind.

Even the fiercest, most agonising love can’t keep people with you if they decide not to stay.
And not even the butterfly kisses she was always told could heal anything can take away the pain of being left behind. 

Starting at university is the chance she’s craved to break away from the town where she’s been an object of pity for so long. Moving to Manchester is about fun, friendship and learning. She has no intention of falling in love. In fact, nothing could be further from her mind. Love has only ever meant loss before, so why should now be any different? 

And then an unexpected face from the past turns up, blurring the black and white lines she’s always drawn for herself into confusing shades of grey, and she’s forced to face up to the fact that you don’t always get a choice when it comes to giving your heart away.

My Review
*ARC received in return for an honest review

OMG, this book has all the feels!! I have been on such an emotional roller coaster and I don't know when I'll recover.  

H.A. Robinsonhas surpassed herself with this one. I absolutely love the Colwich Lake series (The Pebble Jar broke me 😭) however, Butterfly Kisses has to be my favourite of the series.


Two broken and scarred souls. 

One who feels they don’t deserve to be loved and one who’s afraid to love for fear of eventually being left alone, come together after meeting up unexpectedly. 

Can they help to heal each other? Or are their scars too deep to heal? Only time will tell. 


Where do I start without giving anything away? My emotions are all over the place, I just want to wrap my arms around the book and never let it go.

I have fallen in love with Trix and her man, they are my favourite characters of the whole series. They have barged their way into my heart and are there to stay. 

The struggles and turmoil they battled were so emotional and gut-wrenching that my heart broke into little pieces for them but put it was back together again, eventually. 

I'm not going to say who Trix falls for, that's for you to find out but I will say...hands off, he's mine! 


I am a huge fan of H.A. Robinson's. I love her wonderfully descriptive way with words. 

Words which are raw and real, filled with so much emotion that tug on your heart strings and very believable. Words that pull you in from the first page, making you feel like you’re actually there looking on from the sidelines, eavesdropping on the lives of the rich and colourful characters she creates and watching their story enfold. You get this, and so much more, with Butterfly Kisses. 


Although this could probably be read as a stand-alone I strongly recommend reading the previous books in the series first to avoid possible spoilers. It will allow you to fully understand the back history and make for a better reading experience. 

I can't recommend Butterfly Kisses highly enough. It made me laugh and made me cry, it broke my heart but put it back together again. My heart is so heavy right now as I’m not ready to leave
