How do you pick up the pieces and keep moving forward?
One breath.
One second.
One minute.
One hour.
One day at a time, you learn to live with your unexpected fall.

RELEASE DATE: October 10, 2019

These are my people and I need them more than ever.

-Dawn

Not my first read by author and I also have read Book 1 & 2 in this series which I loved too. So now it’s Dawn & Mark’s story and boy was I not ready for this one! What a complex romance with twists and totally unexpected!
Prepare to cry your eyes out in the beginning…oh my heart! Actually this entire book just be prepared to SWOON & CRY! Pretty much the sweetest with a twist of sexy stories you’ll get! I loved it from the beginning to end, which I didn’t want it to end! I mean the hero calls the heroine HIS PIXIE! It’s super adorable and the fact that he is 6’4 and she is a foot shorter…it’s just…GAH I LOVED IT ALL!

Mark is a man who kind of has it all, he is happy, has friends and family…also has Dawn he has been seeing for a while now. Dawn is best friends with Mark’s brother’s wives! So this is where I’d say YOU SHOULD read Book 1&2 but don’t have to. Them two they are beautiful together. Their relationship wasn’t something traditional, hidden maybe but not traditional. When things seem to shift, a life changing event occurs for Dawn…and THEY JUST KEEP ON COMING. Seems like every time Dawn tries to take control of her life, life hits her with a warning. But Mark, the sweetest most sexiest man on earth…want’s to be there for her…only she isn’t sure how to let anyone in when everything seems to always fall apart for her.

It’s such a beautiful love story and SO ROMANTIC! This is a re-read type of book for sure! The entire series but this one took the cake for me. Just beautiful!

by The Guide To Romance NovelsLeave a Comment on R E V I E W ➠ Love Me Tomorrow by Maria Luis
(Put A Ring On It #3)

GOODREADS – AMAZON – AUTHOR WEBSITE

They call her America’s Sweetheart.
And me? I’m the so-called “inked god” she dumped on TV.
I’ve tried to forget her. I’ve tried to move on.
Until I discover that her family is opening a new restaurant next to my tattoo parlor.
If I were a gentleman, I’d offer my congratulations and go my own way.
If I were a gentleman, I’d let her be… but I’m not.
Savannah Rose may claim I’m nothing more than a friend, but that slight hitch in her breath whenever I get too close says that America’s sweetheart is nothing but a liar.
All it takes is one scorching kiss, and I vow in her ear: “You’re going to beg. Beg me to touch you, beg me to give you more, and if you’re real good, maybe I’ll do it all over again before you have to beg for that too.”
I’m no gentleman.
But Savannah Rose? She’s no one’s sweetheart but mine.

Love Me Tomorrow is the third book in the highly anticipated series, Put A Ring On It, and can be read as a complete standalone.

RELEASE DATE: September 26, 2019

Catching me completely off guard, he steps in close, demolishing the distance between us, and hooks an inked finger under my chin. My chest caves with need, lust, awareness. Although I’ll never admit it out loud, my knees quiver, too. Quiver!

-Savannah Rose

She tastes like promise. Like desire. Like sin.

-Owen Harvey

Not my first read by author but I believe it is my first OFFICIAL review & all! Something about this blurb really caught my eye. Yes, I have not read the previous 2 books in the series but this can be read as a stand-alone too and BOY WAS I GLAD I SIGNED UP FOR THIS ARC! In love with the story and characters is an under-statement! I loved everything about it, the angst the dirty…this might be a short review BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO SPOILER ALERT anyone, but let me just say that it is on my TOP 2019 for a good reason!

So much I want to say BUT CAN’T!!!!!! Ugh! I will say that everything is intertwined! Savannah is miss-understood, actually she is not understood at all, what she has ever done and doing is all for her family. Lines can’t be crossed because well BECAUSE [parts of why i can’t say anything because of spoilers] but I will tell you that whatever people HEAR is not what they see. I feel for Savannah and the choices she is only left to take. Will she be able to stand on her own, for herself? Owen is a man that may have missed out but isn’t about to make that mistake again, but when lies, secret BIG SECRETS and little bit of danger threaten everything…will they both be able to become who they are together?!

This deserves so much more than 5 stars, I may not have read every single book by this author but the one’s I have, I have loved. This one tough takes the cake through and through! You get both POV, chemistry, all the feels, laughter, SWOON ROMANCE, suspense…it has it all!

by The Guide To Romance NovelsLeave a Comment on R E V I E W ➠ Enchanting Sebastian by Kristen Proby

GOODREADS – AMAZON – AUTHOR WEBSITE

Turning thirty-five doesn’t mean much to most men. For Sebastian Wakefield, it’s the end of life as he knows it.
When your father is the King of England, thirty-five is the year that a marriage will be arranged, a suitable bride cementing a future you didn’t choose. The obvious solution for escaping the archaic laws of the throne is for Sebastian to leave the country. And where better to go than America?
Nina Wolfe has spent her career avoiding scandal. As a Hollywood publicist and minor celebrity in her own right, she knows exactly what it takes to keep the media at bay—and what will send them into a frenzy.
Prince Sebastian hiding out in Cunningham Falls, Montana is an unlikely story. Ending up in his bed, even more so. And keeping their arrangement out of the press might just be impossible. The ring on her finger is about to spark a firestorm that will change her life, and no professional spin will help Nina fit into the world of royalty.
Only love could write an enchanting new beginning—if they’ll let themselves fall.

RELEASE DATE: September 24, 2019

SHE’S BLOODY INTOXICATING.

-Sebastian

“Your skin is beautiful under a full moon.”

-Sebastian

Not my first read by author and heck I read her before I even started any of this bookstagramming and blog stuff! The cover alone in this is MAGNIFICENT, i mean look at the full cover too, SO GORGEOUS!! Safe to say I will be getting a paperback, haha!

CAN I JUST SAY HOW MUCH I FLIPPING LOVED THIS BOOK!!!? Their first meet was priceless and perfect, Nina is MY kind of girl!! She is the girl that doesn’t mind eating alone, or being alone for that matter. Doesn’t believe in romance because well she’s never experienced it so why believe in something you only hear or read about? She’s just a woman trying to find a place in the world, something for herself to keep occupied, not looking to meet a prince and end up marrying him haha that would be silly,wouldn’t it! *smirk*

This is not your traditional love story at least to me it is because the hero and heroine can’t keep their hands off each other once it’s there. Not a slow burn but a build up for sure. They are just so perfect together that it will just flow…that’s how i felt about this whole story it flowed well, events occurred just as if you were there. A lighter side of the read. Kristen really did a good job here getting the details in and having the main characters be so in sync, lots of laughter, love and just life! This is Book #1 of the series and I can’t wait for more!

Bergen Brothers Book #3

GOODREADS – AMAZON – AUTHOR WEBSITE

An anonymous chat forum. 
Two lonely people. 
And the summer everything changed.
Camden Bergen is Colorado royalty. An heir to the Bergen Mountain Sports empire, he could have the world at his fingertips. Instead, he’s shouldering the pain of his past, across the ocean, hidden away from everyone but his anonymous online friend known to him only as Mountain Daisy. 
But that’s about to change.
Cadence Lowry doesn’t have time for distractions. Between teaching full time, raising her young son, and renovating two historic homes, her only escape is corresponding with her chat forum friend, Mountain Mac. 
Love isn’t on her radar until Camden mysteriously returns to Denver after a decade long absence and moves in next door. 
It’s only for the summer, but things don’t stay neighborly for long. 
Surrendering to an attraction they can’t deny, they agree to a no strings attached steamy summer fling. 
But when their hidden identities are revealed, will it be too late to salvage a love always meant to be?

RELEASE DATE: September 30, 2019

Her touch was shelter. Her scent, the air, fragrant with wildflowers.

-Cam

“What kind of smile do I give you?”
The kind I could wake up to every day for the rest of my life. The kind that’s brighter than the sun. The kind that deserves the man I could never be.

Not my first read by author, she happens to one of my very firsts when I started my BOOKSTAGRAMMING world. I have loved and read every single book she has put out and this one, *sigh* might take the cake!!

Little back story to whom Camden Bergen is, he is the youngest brother and also the one who fled the country right after their parents passed. He feels responsible for it, and therefore cut himself off and left to live just a simple life in Switzerland, where he worked odd jobs and just lived simply. Including not caring what his scruff or hair looks like. That’s why when I say he burst through that locked gate in front of his family, he looked like a hulk doing it. Rough, rugged and big! but sexy, ooooh very sexy!! Camden is about to the the ride of his life!

Cadence is a single mom, who is dedicated her life to raining him and renovating a 1930’s home. She doesn’t have time for dating or a love life, she is a teacher, mom and friend, that should be enough. Well she does have Mountain Mac her online ‘friend’ she has been corresponding with for a year now. But when he goes silent on her, she worries. Then when she offers the big mountain man a place to stay during the summer, what was she thinking?

This is a beautiful complicated love story. Where two souls truly are meant to be and are trying to find their way to one another. SERIOUSLY ROMANTIC AND SWOON WORTHY!! I know it’s the last one in the series and I am so so sad about it, but Camden was very very romantic and sexy…gah couldn’t get enough of the story. Wanting to re-read it already! A lot of fun, I laughed very much THOSE DAMN SQUIRRELS!! Honestly, a sweet, romantic, funny and sexy story!! Perfect way to end a Series!!

GOODREADS – AMAZON – AUTHOR WEBSITE -> KELLY / KRISTIN

Mike Murphy is the new cop in town.
He makes me crazy in all the right ways.
So crazy that I lose mt filter around him, not to mention by ability
to function like a normal person.
The attraction between us is undeniable and something we can’t
ignore.
But there’s a secret that threatens to come between us. When we
uncover more than we should, things become dangerous.
Will we be able to walk away, or will the quest to find the truth be
too tempting?

“…Come by the clinic sometimes if you ever need a vet.” What. The. Hell? If you never need a vet?

-Sydney

Oh, just Mr. Sexy Pants sizzling my bacon. Again with the bacon?

-Sydney

“I’m amazon. I’m wonderful. I’m blissfully happy. I hope this isn’t a dream.”

Not my first read by both author’s and they both are one of my top favorites!! So I will say this, if you want fun & adventure with a lot of swoon and romance….this is it!!!!!

Sydney is a successful Vet, who is living her life…even if it’s alone. When I say alone I mean alone, she lost her parents a couple years before and now here she is spreading the ashes of the last family member to have around. Her beloved grandfather, someone she looked up to and counted on especially after her parents passed. She is upset that she couldn’t make it down earlier to live their dream of practicing together, but she vows to upkeep his legacy and so she moves back home to the small town that holds so many secrets.

This is where Mike; Office Murphy comes in, one night while standing in front of the practice, he scares the life out of her. He has been keeping an eye on her grandfathers place and no one was expecting her back early. Their meet is one for the books!! Sydney is a unique woman, quirky in the cutest way ever and sort of has no filter on her mouth. What she thinks is unattractive to Mike (because of her past experience) she is surprised when she keeps seeing him around town. Aside from Mike there is Wesley her childhood long time best friend she hasn’t seen in a while. She is just glad to be back in known land and honestly, a fresh new start is something she has needed.

Characters
Sydney: smart, funny and beautiful..so beautiful she has no idea. She is unique as in quirky and sometimes tends to say what her mumbled brain thinks.
Mike: Strong, very smart, handsome, sexy and SO SWOON WORTHY! Gah!! He is really dreamy guys, perfect combo!

When Sydney is given something her grandfather left behind, she is of joy because even as a child she and her grandpa always loved a good scavenger hunt! And this is no different! Except it is in every aspect of the way. What happens next is the adventure of a life. Throw in some funny parents who are very open with their son, lot’s of danger and some magically beautiful romance and you have this master-piece! Nothing is as it seems, pay attention and try to solve it yourself…at the end, you’ll realize that what you thought was ISN’T and there is so SO MUCH MORE!!

by The Guide To Romance NovelsLeave a Comment on R E V I E W ➠ Forever My Saint by Monica James
(All The Pretty Things Trilogy #3)

GOODREADS – AMAZON – AUTHOR WEBSITE

All hope was lost until Zoey Hennessy walked back into my world, shaking it up beyond repair when she uttered two simple words.
He’s alive.
She speaks of her brother, my Saint, the man who lost everything to set me free.
I believed he was dead. I saw it with my own two eyes. But when Zoey proves he’s alive and being held captive by a monster, I know what I have to do.
It’s time I saved him.
The plan is dangerous, and there are no guarantees I will survive. But if this nightmare has taught me one thing, it’s that I don’t cower in fear. I am a woman hell-bent on getting back the man she loves, and nothing, no one will stand in my way.
However, what I uncover can only be described as hell on earth. The darkness has finally won, and Saint is lost to me forever.
Or so I thought.
Aleksei Popov is anything but a hero, yet in this story—he’s mine. Everything I believed in is about to be turned upside down, and with freedom within my grasp, I wonder how far I will go, and who I will sacrifice in order to set myself free.

RELEASE DATE: September 19, 2019

“You once said my demons dance with yours. And you’re right. They always have. Out love wasn’t perfect, but it was ours. And it was worth every single imperfect moment. You are worthy of life, Saint…

-Forever My Saint

Not my first read by author and I have been following (reading) all the books in this trilogy!! To say I have been waiting for this since probably middle of the first book is pretty accurate haha! Glad I am finally here, with that said I will RECOMMEND you read Book 1 and 2 before!

I want to touch base on book 1 and 2, I have full reviews of them of course but will say that I kind of just WENT FOR IT when i first signed up for book 1 thinking we will see…hell not even in the middle of it I KNEW I HAD TO read all the rest, so it’s been a game of I know this will be amazing but I also know there are 3 books to it. IT was worth it all the way! The first one kind of eases you into it in a way then book 2 pretty much threw you around like being stuck in a hurricane. FANTASTIC!

Book 3- well, I don’t really know where to begin honestly without giving too much away since it is a trilogy. It starts off where Book 2 left I will say that, at the end of Book 2 there was a huge BOOM and a hint then you come back to the heroine trying to go off a hunch to reveal the truth. A truth that is very crucial to her. The rest of the books you think will be all flowers and ends up being roses with thorns. It’s beautiful but does tear your heart out and bring out all the emotions for an ending that will have you feeling staggering and happy, and sad, and just want to re-read the entire series now that all three are out! Which by the way IS GOING TO HAPPEN to me at least! A MUST READ!

GOODREADS – AMAZON – AUTHOR WEBSITE
FREE on Kindle Unlimited

They warned me not to take this job.
They said you were ruthless, impossible to please…
I said I was better than them.
I wouldn’t fall for your charm, your arrogance, or how sexy you fill out that suit.
I wouldn’t fall for your deep brown eyes or the way that muscle moves in your square jaw when you’re pissed.

I said I could resist you.
I was wrong…

RELEASE DATE: September 17, 2019

Why didn’t anyone tell me how insanely hot this devil is?

-Raquel

“I want to sleep with you.”
Her brow quirks, and a naughty smile curls her lips. “Can we do more than sleep?”
“You said I’m the devil, right?”
“So I’ve heard.”
I catch her bare ankle, pulling her closer. “Then definitely.”

Not my first read by author and will probably never be the last hehe. I have loved Tia’s books for a while now and she quickly became a top favorite author of mine! I may or may not have screamed when I got the ARC, gah! I love anything by Tia so don’t hold it against me!! What a start, jumps right in the line of duty so to speak. My heart was racing.

When Raquel “Rocky” decided what to do with her life after grad-school, she hopped right on the same train as her sister. Work wise that is. Her first day not only does her new boss she was warned of insult her but also is mean. They called him THE DEVIL and to her recollection that suits him just fine. Few days into work and they managed to spew off hate at each other, ignoring the sign that says otherwise. The chemistry between Patton and Raquel is undeniable, even the co-workers notice. One company picnic changes it all!

Characters
Raquel: She is so strong, sensitive, upfront and loving. Beside the fact of being gorgeous. Will do anything for her sister. When I say STRONG i mean STRONG, even after losing her parents.
Patton: Sexy, smart, handsome, caring the weight of the world on his shoulders, rugged, mean…but a heart of gold! Former Military, can’t get over what happened therefore pushes himself on to helping his brothers.

This was a sexy, addictive, action-packed, fun and enjoyable story! Little bit of fun, lot’s of enemy-to-lovers and SIZZLING! Rocky and Patton are the perfect couple, their chemistry is off the charts. The story falls in line and as always Tia’s writing needs no words but amazing! I will have to say that at one point I was not too sure about Rocky’s sister BUT see it through because it will make full sense at the end. And what a beautiful HEA! *swoon* Watch out ladies PATTON is the new Devil!

R E V I E W ➠ Hard Place by Emily Goodwin

by The Guide To Romance NovelsLeave a Comment on R E V I E W ➠ Hard Place by Emily Goodwin

GOODREADS – AMAZON – AUTHOR WEBSITE

Cold. Callous. Cocky.
A total playboy with abs for days, a panty-melting smirk, and a face the gods themselves would be jealous of.
And he’s my new boss.
None of that matters, because as a single mom, men like Alexander Harding are the last thing I need. What I do need is this job, so I’m going to keep my head down, work hard, and avoid that asshole as much as humanly possible.
But then he gives me an offer I can’t refuse, even though everything inside of me is warning me to run away and never look back. It’s just one weekend. One weekend to convince a bunch of stuffy investors that Alexander has changed from the player who spent more time in the bedroom than the boardroom into a family man they’d be happy to go into business with.
But the more time I spend with him, the more I realize that there might be a beating heart buried under his designer shirts and spectacular pecs after all…which is bad news for me.
Because the only thing worse than hating your boss is falling in love with him.

RELEASE DAY: September 12, 2019

He has muscular forearms, and seeing that little but of tan skin shouldn’t make heat flash through me, I swallow hard, trying to push the image of his deft fingers moving up to his collar, slowly unbuttoning his shirt out of my head.

-Harper

Alex…who’s only wearing a towel. It’s wrapped dangerously low around his waist and I’ve never wished for telekinetic powers more in my life.

-Harper

Not my first read form the author, she happens to be ONE OF MY FAVORITE authors! So I am very familiar with her writing style and the fact this is a start to a new SERIES gah, gold!!

Boy does this book start off with a bang! Struggle on top of struggle, you will feel all the feels of this single mom of two twin-daughters. Harper is a 25 year old beautiful, smart and happy personality single mom. Who happens to be struggling in many ways that is, when she gets offered a promotion in sorts, she really doesn’t have a choice and jumps at the chance to get a little ahead in life. She has lost so much and one night many moons ago wasn’t the right idea but the outcome is as beautiful. Little did she know though, the prick from the other night who stole her parking spot at the new school…is her new boss! BOOM!

Alex is a cocky, successful handsome man. He is well known for his worth ethic, rather enjoys it along with his string of non-string attachments if you will. But behind closed doors he is just a man who was mistreated in his childhood, who wasn’t shown love but brutality of the hard life at such a young age. He himself is sick of the long working nights, no one to really come home to and the nameless meaningless sex. When he finally get’s a spark from a woman, he can never really have her. SO MUCH IN BETWEEN!!

Alex loves Harper’s smile because it lights up the room and Harper can’t not look at the cocky but so sad boss of hers who wears the shit out of a suit! *sweating* When one night proves to be almost fate, this is where you fall in love with Alex *swoon swoon swoon* aside from all, he really does have a beautiful heart and mid-way you’ll see why! It shocked the hell out of Harper almost missing a beat to the lie. Since then things seem to smooth out enough to where Harper is talking to Alex again and not just work related. It’s all great until you REALLY can’t deny fate. It’s just so beautiful, two broken people in their own way to come together and GAH just swoony and beautiful! YES THAT’S A WORD, GO WITH IT! B U T not all lies even good intention ones are without fault, this is heartbreaking one too!! #havetissues

This enemy-to-lovers office romance is PERFECT. A great start to a new series and a MUST READ! You’ll get both POV’s, perfect hero and heroine, side characters and adorable little twin girls. It feels so real when you’re reading it, like it’s happening there so you know I don’t need to say much more about Emily’s writing style, it’s perfection!

GOODREADS – AMAZON – AUTHOR WEBSITE

I don’t regret much.
Not my decision to enter the NFL draft before finishing college.
Not fighting custody of my daughter—even if, biologically speaking, it turns out she’s not mine.
And certainly not seducing my buddy’s little sister ten years ago.
But when it comes to Shayleigh Jackson, my no-regrets attitude stops there. I screwed up royally where she’s concerned. Then I made another mistake when I let her shut me out of her life.
Now after more than a decade living in different time zones, I’m coming home to Jackson Harbor. My first priority is getting my daughter away from the media circus in LA, but the moment I see Shay, I know I’ll stop at nothing to win her back.
So what if she won’t speak to me? So what if she’s changed? So what if she’s fallen for some douchebag professor? I’ve never gotten over her and I know she feels the same about me. I’ve let her go twice. I won’t make that mistake again.
If It’s Only Love and all other books in this series can be read as standalones, but you’ll enjoy reading them together.

RELEASE DATE: September 10, 2019

I guess Easton doesn’t want to know my secret after all. I dodged a bullet.
So why do I feel so disappointed?

-Shay

I kiss him back and try to ignore the nagging feeling that tells me I’ve invited heartache back into my life.

Not my first read by author, I have read her books before all my bookstagram hoopla! This one for sure reminded me why I started reading the author & will continue for a very long time! This is a interesting turn of events of a book, in the best way!

Shay has known Easton since she was a little girl, running after him hoping to get something or anything from him. During their younger years (since Easton was older) and she was still under age, they circle each other but that chemistry is always there. When Shay turns 18 and after that, they again circle each other because either Shay had to leave for school, Easton was a huge NFL star and traveled to play…always something until one night in Paris that was beautiful and broken all in the same. Fast forward over a decade and they find themselves back in home town. Only, Shay is not the lost little girl anymore, she is a grown woman who has a promising career, loving boyfriend and opportunities. WELL WELL WELL let me just tell you that YOU WILL NOT BE PREPARED for what’s to come!

It was intense, kept me reading faster to see what will happen, gah I wish I could say more but I can’t give out the best parts. It’s really captivating and NO there is no LOVE TRIANGLE otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to read it hehe but there is so much involved that you think you know and then BAM you have no idea. Really really fantastic read!! Stick with it, I loved all the BEFORE’s the back story which is very important and the outcome is a HEA so don’t worry but to get there the road is not only curvy but goes up, down and sideways! Hand’s down reminds me of why I love the authors books for years!

Sydney Evans is no stranger to hard work. It’s the one constant in her life. And with no family or friends to speak of it’s been easy to pour everything she has into her career as general counsel for Blackstone Holdings.
She wants for nothing. Until her boss offers her a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. All she has to do in return is marry his good-for-nothing son.
Scott Blackstone used be a party whore. Pardon, party animal. He hasn’t been that guy in a long time though. Not since he moved to Wyoming, bought a failing cattle ranch, and turned it into a profitable business.
All is good. Until a phone call from his father threatens the quiet, simple life he’s built. Marry or lose everything. And to a woman who can’t stand him, no less. Well, Scott is not going down without a fight. He’s never going back to Manhattan. Not if he can help it.

I had a feeling I’d be dreaming about cowboys tonight.

-Sydney

How hard could this be? What were three years in the grand scheme of things? Nothing.

-Sydney

Not my first ride with the author, to be honest I have read every single of her books, every time it comes out I AM ALL ABOUT IT!! So far, she is becoming one of my favorite new to me authors!

Sydney had a normal day. work work work oh and some more work. keeping busy as she has a very important role in the company. when Franklin her boss also the owner calls her in his office, shit goes from 0 to 60 real fast. she is dealt some terrible news and that wasn’t even the worst part of it either.

Fine, she was a grown woman who may not have had the best teenage-hood and was not accepting that work is going to be her real marriage, so what’s to marry Scott the party-whore and get what she always would have dreamed off along with making Franklin happy. Well she was singing a different tune when she was standing at the alter in Vegas and not only was Scott late but showed up plastered drunk. To think she had hopes even slightly that he was a changed man.

FROM THE BOOK:
“A worthy white lie. What’s few more for the greater good?”

-Scott

But no one really knows that, he is still portrayed as the man-whore party asshole. He sure met his match!! And that forsaken CABIN haha as Sydney said: ‘Cabin fever is a real thing.’

This book gave me ALL. THE. FEELS. Stop in your tracks keep reading faster but also.slower because you don’t want it to end. Everything was perfect about it, the characters, side characters, story line, transition and words. There was enough of everything what you wanted, few times I even shed a tear…but i felt every single word. This is one of those ‘the feeling I chase when I read’ THIS HAS IT!! You’ll fall in love with every twist and turn, when you think you know the outcome,.you won’t. Get ready because the author did the enemy-to-lovers romance, justice!! RE-READ WORTH FOR SURE!!
