Release Blitz & ARC Review- Tempt The Playboy (Tempt #2) by Natasha Madison




IMG_3640.PNG







play·boy
ˈplāˌboi/
noun
a wealthy man who spends his time enjoying himself, especially one who behaves irresponsibly or is sexually promiscuous.
Synonyms: socialite, pleasure seeker.



Noah
I have it all, money, looks, and any woman I want.
Till I meet her and my universe is knocked on its ass and she wants nothing to do with me.

Kaleigh
My motto: never date the same man twice. I have less chance of breaking my heart that way.
Till my eyes land on the only man I’ll break my rule for.

She thinks she can run. That I’ll let her get away.

He thinks he can handle a woman like me.
He has no idea.

A man who has it all needs one thing and one thing only. A temptress.

Watch me Tempt the Playboy.
 My Review 

Haha, this one was a page turner for all you feel good comedy romance readers. 
It was pretty hilarious for a renowned playboy with money get a taste of his own medicine with yet ANOTHER commitment phobe.  Talk about meeting your ultimate match!

I've always enjoyed plot twists that bring to test the unthinkable. With the two protagonists originally not get involved in anything serious and suddenly getting bitten by the love bug~~ this has always been a favorite gamechanger of mine. 

Both Noah and Kayleigh have strong, colorful personalities and so to see Noah--- our resident 'playboy'-- get the boot, and Kayleigh, only insisting that their relationship was a mere one night stand had to be both mortifying and refreshing to him.

For him, it is he who does the dumping, not the other way around. 

But when you're backs against the wall and the only woman you ever truly wanted keeps pushing you away you can do only one thing---- push back.

Hopeless romantics will gobble this read up and be left giddy and with a few laughs. 

Definitely one of my new series favorites for the end of this year.

My Rating:



Watch the trailer HERE

“How about we call a truce?” Austin tries to plead. “I don’t think I can take any more. I almost died, and my testicles almost exploded.”

“Fine,” she complies.

“Truce.” I hear whispered.

“You think they’re fucking in there?” We both lean into the door to hear.

“My sister wouldn’t fuck with a party in her house.”

“That’s a shame. Is this a family trait?” I try goading her to see what line she will pass.

“I have no problem having sex with people around.” She winks at me. “I mean, if he was really, really worth it.”

This woman will be the death of me, or I might faint from all my blood going straight to my cock. Which is as hard as a marble statue.
When her nose isn't buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she's in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It's a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn't listen to her...

Release Blitz Review- Puck Love by Carmen Jenner

Title: Puck Love 
Author: Carmen Jenner
Genre: Sports Romance
Publication Date: October 3 2017
Plot: Stella Hart is the hottest thing in country music. For ten years, she’s been Nashville’s darling. She’s pure, sweet, and a positive role model in an industry rife with scandals, sex, and sequins. Men want to own her, women want to be her—everyone wants a piece of her, and Stella? Well, she wants out.

As the center for the Calgary Crushers, Van Ross isn’t afraid of the spotlight, but he doesn’t much like it either. Despite his reputation as a player, the NHL’s bad boy lives for only two things: the game, and his younger brother. That’s why when he comes across a country music superstar seeking refuge at his home in the Canadian Rockies, he’s not too happy with the media shitstorm this surprise houseguest brings.

With a nationwide manhunt, paparazzi dogging their every move, producers of a reality TV show baying for blood, and a record label desperate to see their “good girl” returned safely home, Van and Stella’s lives are snowballing out of control.

While Van would like nothing more than to show the purest of them all how well he handles his er ... stick, Stella is no puck bunny. Nor is she as innocent as she’d have the world believe. 

With chemistry like theirs, tension runs high on and off the ice, but the end game is the same for both players: line up the puck, take the shot, and score. If only their hearts understood the play.

Puck fame and fortune.
Puck right and wrong.

Puck love.

 My Review 

This was not like Carmen Jenner's usual writing style that I'm accustomed to.  I think those of you who have kept up with this author's novels well know that this lady is not afraid to dip her hand in grit, madness and mayhem but somehow Puck Love did not venture into those recurrent themes.

Being the first ever sports romance for Jenner, I thought that Puck Love was witty, refreshing, and very steamy.  I loved the banter and rapport between Van and Stella.  It was obvious that these two were made for each other.

Oh, Van.  Can I have this man to myself?  His personality, oh how I loved how comical he could be and yet have this no holds barred kind of stance towards his sport, his family, and his new lady love, Stella.

As for Stella, I liked seeing Van bring a new side of her and allow her to grow and find herself.   Growing up in the spotlight and always having your every move scrutinized, I appreciated that themes of self-identity, anxiety attacks, feeling out of control and suppression were brought out into those novel.  This felt very realistic as I can only imagine what goes on in an celebrities mind from day to day and how they keep themselves sane.

Van is the hockey super star and Stella is country's golden gal.  You can only imagine the world's microscopic eye and wanting to see some kind of scandal... or downfall.... or even a fairy tale ending between two celebrities.

Definitely would recommend!



My Rating:
 Excerpt 

“What are you running from?” I say, echoing the me from several months ago when this strange and beautiful creature had arrived on my doorstep, lost, and seeking refuge from a world that might have destroyed a lesser woman.
She takes several steps back until there’s nowhere left to go but on top of the counter. “I’m not running from anything.”
I press against her. She’s stiff as a board. That makes two of us. “I miss you, Stella. I jack it every day thinking about you, sometimes twice a day. I want you.”
“You can’t have me, Van.”
“Bullshit,” I hiss. I slide my hand into her hair, and pull her closer. I lean in, but I don’t kiss her. “Tell me you miss me. Tell me you’re thinking about me, too.”
“I don’t . . .” She shakes her head, but her breath is hot and heavy against my face. “I’m not.” 
I close my eyes and rub my cheek against hers. My stubble is likely scratching her delicate skin, but she doesn’t pull away, and I slide my hand under her shirt. She’s braless. I groan. All those long days and nights she tortured me at the cabin by wearing only my flannel shirts with no bra, and probably no panties either, for all I knew. This little cock tease needs a taste of her own medicine.

Excerpt

Copyright © 2017 by Harloe Rae

Lark shoots me a glare before asking, “What are you doing here?”

The venom in her voice is probably meant to scare me away but all I hear is come closer. I’m totally mesmerized.

“Hey, Sweetheart. I said you’d be seeing me soon. Figured I’d stop by and say hello in person.” I make sure to keep my tone calm but my skin inches with heat at the fire burning from her gaze.

“And I told you to leave me alone unless you’re ready to give me what I want.” She shifts her stare down to my groin while raising an expectant brow. “Is that what you’ve brought me?” She lifts her scorching eyes back to my face and seductively bites into her bottom lip.

Her sass is tantalizing but it’s the beauty underneath I’m truly after. “Sorry to disappoint you but that’s not why I’m here, Vix. I want to discuss some stuff, relating to us.”

“Vix? As in the vapor rub?”

An amused chuckle bounces up my throat. “Nah, short for Vixen.”

She seems to mull it over with a slight tilt of her head. “I suppose that's fitting, though you don’t need to be handing out nicknames. Tell me, what could we possibly have to talk about?”

“No idle chit-chat first? I’m hoping we can get to know each other. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you since the other night and this sexy librarian look you’re rocking is hot as hell, but it’s more than that. Are you willing to hear me out? Maybe make an exception for me?”

A frustrated sigh answers my question. “I don’t have the patience for this, Rowen. I’m very busy here and you’re wasting my time.”

I lean against the door, trying to show I’m not ready to leave quite yet. “Answer me this. Where did you work when you were younger? Let’s say seven years ago?”

Lark glances away before shuffling some papers into piles. Her fidgeting makes me smile because now I’m certain she remembers just fine. A barely-there blush blooms on her cheeks while she continues avoiding my question. I wait her out and soon enough she graces me with a response.

“I don’t see how that’s any of your business.” Her deflection causes me to edge forward a bit, as though we need to be closer. She speaks to the depths of my soul, no matter if she gives me sass or softness.

“I’m trying here, Vix. Want to help me out? Did you work at Brack’s Box during the summer of 2010? Maybe a guy stopped in on a random July afternoon and stumbled over his words in your stunning presence. Do you remember that?”

Lark is still avoiding eye contact but I hear her whispered yes as if she shouted it across the room.
