Everhart Brothers Release Blitz

Fall For Me, Fight For Me,

Perfect For Me by Claudia Burgoa

Contemporary Romance | Billionaire Romance

FALL FOR ME

AMAZON | APPLE BOOKS | NOOK | KOBO | GOOGLE PLAY

I came to the City with the dream to make it on Broadway.

But instead of hitting it big, I couldn’t be at a bigger dead-end if I tried. I’m a receptionist at my little sister’s company and living with my grandfather. If it wasn’t for my family, I’d be destitute.

When Hunter Everhart walks into my office, my life goes from bad to humiliating.

He saved me on the worst night of my career. And for some reason, the big shot lawyer thinks he can actually fix my life.

But he’s only seen the veneer. There are so many cracks, I can’t let him get too close.

But for some reason when I’m with him, I feel something other than numb.

And I’m starting to believe that he would do anything for me…if I let him.

Even fall for me.

Fall for Me is an inspiring contemporary romance of finding love and starting over after your world has fallen apart. This page-turning love story will break and mend your heart as Willow and Hunter fall in love and fight to stay together. This is the first book in the Everhart Brothers series by USA TODAY Bestselling Author Claudia Burgoa. (Formally released as Flawed)

FIGHT FOR ME

AMAZON | APPLE BOOKS | NOOK | KOBO | GOOGLE PLAY

He’s my brother’s best friend.
I’m his opposite in every way.

Being a pencil pusher isn’t what I had in mind when I joined the FBI.

So when I finally get a chance to prove myself, I won’t let anyone mess it up.

Especially Harrison Everhart, my brother’s best friend and former Army Ranger.

He’s quiet and lethal–but also incredibly loyal. Harrison doesn’t mind bending the law to get things done. He’ll do whatever it takes to do the right thing.

And that may just mess up my big break.

I know he’s willing to fight with me, but if I give him my heart will he fight for me as well?

Fight for Me is an opposites-attract, military romance with action, adventure, and plenty of steam. This angsty read is both fun and emotional as Luna and Harrison bring justice to the bad guys and heat up the bedroom. This is the second book in the Everhart Brothers series by USA TODAY Bestselling Author Claudia Burgoa.

PERFECT FOR ME

AMAZON | APPLE BOOKS | NOOK |

KOBO | GOOGLE PLAY | AUDIO

He wants to be my forever.
I want to be free of my past.

I’m three thousand miles from New York City. Three thousand miles from the pain, betrayal, and heartache of a string of failed relationships. Including the relationship with my parents.

Back in the Bay area, I can start fresh. Become one with the sea again. Rise or fall on the tide of my own choices.

But on the first day of my bright new life, the darkest shadows of my past follow me through my office door.

Both shadows have names. And I refuse to let these men into my future.

If I let it consume me—my need for one man, my love for the other—the darkness will swallow me whole. I can’t let that happen.

Not again.

This time, the waves of emotion crashing against my heart won’t drown me.

This time, I get to choose my happy ending.

This time, it will be perfect for me.

Perfect for Me is an angsty second chance romance featuring a love triangle, steamy situations, and ugly-cry moments. This friends-to-lovers contemporary story is the third book in the Everhart Brothers series by USA TODAY Bestselling Author Claudia Burgoa.

Series Page → https://hearteyespress.com/wotn#/vino-and-veritas/

About the Book:

My new roommate has the worst taste in men. 

I mean, Murph’s special. He’s funny and flamboyant and full of life.

While I’m straight, even I can tell these guys aren’t good enough for him.

I had to yell at one date, toss another one out the door, and throw a beer in another’s face.

Kind of embarrassing, really. I don’t know what’s gotten into me.

I ask my sister what’s wrong with me and she says I’m jealous.

Jealous? Please. Me?

Come on.

Only thing is, I hate the thought of Murph kissing any guy. Ever.

Except, maybe … me?

Undone is a contemporary m/m romance about a dreamy insurance agent that might not be as straight as he thinks, an adorable bartender who adds sparkle wherever he goes, and maybe one or two jokes about swords.

There are three things you need to know about Oliver: 
1) He’s a privileged playboy who happens to be a code-writing genius 
2) For once in his life he’s trying to do the right thing
3) Someone wants him dead.

Dallas is a close protection specialist at Cipher Security whose bodyguard skills have already saved Oliver’s life once.

If Dallas has to put her life on the line for a self-absorbed guy she doesn’t respect, then Oliver has to take orders from the too-serious woman he can’t charm. But living wild brings out their true natures, and suddenly funny is hot, capable is dangerous, and trust is the strongest survival skill of all.

About the Book

Two enemies. One wedding.

The plan was simple . . . until they started to fall for each other.

Noah and Olivia are total opposites. She’s buttoned up and proper, focused entirely on her career, and has no time for messy, inconvenient feelings. He’s a big-hearted bachelor who loves pushing her buttons and has always secretly pined for the feisty heroine. The fact that she’s vowed to never fall for him? Doesn’t deter him in the slightest.

A NYC playboy turned business mogul has ninety days to win over the woman he’s always desired in order to save his father’s company. One tiny problem: she hates his guts.

About the Book:

One night with Reeve Hale wasn’t enough. I knew it when I kissed him, I knew it when I slept with him, and I was certain of it when I walked out of his motel room the very next day. 

So when the shy, gorgeous man is introduced as our newest employee at Vino and Veritas, I can’t help but conjure up all the ridiculous ways to convince him to repeat that unforgettable night. Like asking him to be my fake boyfriend at my sister’s upcoming wedding. 

Only, I didn’t expect him to say yes. 

Playing pretend shouldn’t feel this real. Especially when Reeve is planning on leaving Vermont after the summer. 

We agreed to one night. We negotiated a fake relationship. But I’m the one who broke our terms. I wasn’t supposed to fall in love and he was never supposed to be so unforgettable.

About the Book:

I swore I wouldn’t do this again. Mix sports, school, and sex. But right now the only thing standing between me and the NHL is six feet of frenemy packed into a pair of form-fitting jeans that have me thinking all kinds of things I shouldn’t. Mostly how to get him out of them. 

I don’t just want Kolby. I need him. Because I’ve got to pass this theater class–yeah, I said theater–if I’m going to keep my spot on the team. When tutoring sessions turn into dates-not-dates over Shipley Cider at Vino and Veritas, I realize it’s going to be harder than I thought to keep my hands on my stick and off of Kolby. Worse, I think I might be falling for him. But I’m not ready for that. I want to keep this thing between us on the down-low for now. 

But Kolby hates secrets. Especially his own . . .

EXCERPT:

Let the games begin.

The professor’s words are like nails in my improv coffin. Aside from Kolby’s brief description of Questions Only and a handful of Whose Line episodes, I’m completely clueless as to what we’re doing here.

My body language must give away my nervousness because Kolby puts a hand on my shoulder. It’s warm and strong and reassuring. I try not to think about how much more I like his touch than Quinn’s. How much more I like everything about him, even though she’s objectively hot and practically throwing herself at me and he’s an emotional vault who thinks I’m a dumb, entitled jock.

Not that it matters, I remind myself. Because I’m not here to make friends. Or get laid. I’m here to play hockey and save my shot at the NHL.

And, apparently, because the universe hates me, do improv. It’s like my worst nightmare coming true, the one where I’m accepting the Calder Memorial Trophy for best NHL rookie in my underwear. No, I take it back. This is worse. I may have been half naked in my dream, but at least I had a script. Having to go up there and pull something out of my ass is just cruel.

Professor Frost is barking out instructions, and I force myself to pay attention. I’m already lost. The last thing I need is to get myself even further behind by zoning out.

“Rachel and Ian, since you two obviously understand what we’re doing, you’ll start.” He motions them to the center of the room.

“The rest of you, form a line along the wall near the whiteboard. When a player takes too long to respond or fails to answer with a question, they’ll hear this sound.” He produces a plastic dinosaur from behind his back and presses a button on its back. It comes to life with a tinny, electronic roar. “That’s their cue to take a seat, and the first person in line will replace them. Got it?”

Apparently, I’m the only one who thinks it’s weird that a grown man is playing with a toy T-Rex because the rest of the class just nods and murmurs their assent as they line up against the wall. I can’t believe my parents are paying good money for me to take this ridiculous, useless class. And that my future as a hockey player rests on me passing it.

I drag my feet, in no hurry to be part of the action. The further back I am, the more time I have to figure out what the fuck I’m doing. I feel a hand on the small of my back, nudging me toward the end of the line. To my surprise, it’s Kolby. I thought he’d be racing to the front, dying to get up there and show off.

“Come on,” he says. “We can watch the others so you can see how it’s done before it’s your turn.”

“We?”

His lips quirk into a cheeky grin that lights up his face and simultaneously makes me want to push him away and pull him closer. “You didn’t think I was going to desert you in your time of need, did you?”

Honestly, yeah, I did. It wouldn’t be the first time someone’s let me down. 

He gives me another subtle nudge forward. What’s not so subtle are the tremors racing up and down my spine from the spot where his hand rests, just above the waistband of my track pants. It burns through the thin fabric of my T-shirt like there’s not even a barrier between us. I don’t even want to think about what a mess I’d be if we were skin-on-skin.

We take our places at the back of the line. Kolby stands in front of me, letting me go last. Does he have to be so damn nice in addition to being so freaking hot? It makes him harder to resist, even though I know he’s only doing it because the professor forced him to. Kolby made his opinion of me loud and clear in the registrar’s office. As far as he’s concerned, I’m the poster child for pampered jocks.

I cling to that thought in the hope that it will kill any feelings I’m starting to have for this guy. I have to focus if I’m going to pass this class.

✍🏻 Have you grabbed Penny Reid’s Totally Folked yet? Enter the giveaway too! ✍🏻

Totally Folked, the all-new folking delightful and bestselling small town contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author Penny Reid, is available now!

One unforgettable night leads to an unlikely shared connection, and unlikely connections never go unnoticed by the good folks in Green Valley, Tennessee. . .

Jackson James follows the rules. He has to. He’s a sheriff’s deputy in a super small town with a super big personality. However, strict adherence to the law during the day has been enjoyably balanced by rakish rules at night. Jackson, typically happy to protect and serve (and serve, and serve), starts questioning the value of wayward evenings when they begin to feel more like being waylaid rather than getting laid. Could it be that Green Valley’s most eligible—and notorious—bachelor longs for something (and someone) real?

Mega movie star Raquel Ezra follows only one rule: always leave them wanting more. Strict adherence to this single rule has served her well. Studio execs, reporters, audiences, fans, lovers—no one can get enough of the smart, savvy, and sexy bombshell. But when “generous offers” begin to feel more like excessive demands, years of always leaving has the elusive starlet longing for something (and perhaps someone) lasting.

When Raquel abruptly returns to the quirky Tennessee hamlet, her path crosses with the delectable deputy with whom she spent one unforgettable night. Unfortunately, scandal and intrigue soon follow. Raquel and Jackson must decide which is more important: following their rules? Or, at long last, finding something real.

TOTALLY FOLKED is a standalone, contemporary romantic comedy novel and book #1 in the Good Folk: Modern Folktales series.

Excerpt

“Rae. It’s late.”

“I know, but—”

“Rae,” he ground out, using my hold on his hand to bring us back to a stop. I faced him, my stomach erupting in uncertainty butterflies as I encountered the stern line of his jaw and the glittering, frustrated spark behind his eyes. “We need everyone to believe we’re just friends, right? And if we go inside the house, I don’t think I’m a good enough actor to pull that off.”

My mouth formed an O, and I released him, folding my arms over my chest while I wrestled with a strange combination of disappointment and pleasure at his words. I wanted to spend time with him, talk to him, get to know this mystery of a man so I could understand my feelings better.

But . . . I conceded his point.

We couldn’t seem to be around each other without kissing. Bringing him inside a dark, empty house in the middle of the night was something better left to my fantasies.

For now.

Oh really, inner voice? Now you’re impudent? Now?

He exhaled a short breath, it also sounded frustrated, but his tone was soft as he said, “Hey.”

I placed a tight smile on my face, it was the best I could manage. “Hey.”

Jackson seemed to be considering me, debating what to do next. He didn’t take too long. “Do you want to go for a drive?”

“Yes,” I said immediately. “Yes, I do. Let me grab a jacket.”

“Okay. I’ll wait here.” He shifted his weight to his back foot and hooked his thumbs in his jeans pockets.

I wanted to take a picture of him like this, all handsome reluctance and sexy self-control. This man, he just did something to me. I couldn’t explain it.

But maybe if we took this drive and spent some time together talking—just talking—I’d start to figure it out.

✍🏻 Professor Romance’s 4.5 ⭐️ Review: Jasinda Wilder’s The Parent Trap ✍🏻

Overall Grade: 4.5 ⭐️

Okay, what do you do when you enter a story, and within the first few pages, you find that you cannot stand the hero. He’s a rich playboy with no purpose in life other than to spend money. Yes, he makes sound investments with a diverse portfolio, and yes, he steps in to assist his best friend. Yet, initially, he isn’t anywhere near heroic. 

Then, the heroine enters the story. This woman is focused, driven, independent, and self-controlled. Almost to a fault. She’s taken on her family’s construction business in the wake of her father’s illness, and everyone trusts her vision and her work ethic. However, she struggles with finding fun. You know the saying, “all work and no play…” 

With those two characterizations, you know where this story is going. These two will need each other in a way that is otherworldly because they are the yin to the other’s yang. And this, my friends, is Jasinda Wilder’s newest contemporary romance, The Parent Trap. 

No. This isn’t anything to do with the 1961 or 1998 movies. The name comes from the consequences of the wishes of the heroine’s father. He admonishes Delia to “have fun” because she’s only living a half-life, and his will creates a situation for her twin brother that creates the trap. The stage is set for Matthais “Thai” and Delia to meet, become attracted to each other, and find their happy ending. 

This romance is all kinds of things. For one, it’s a bit of a slow burn. For good reason. Thai and Delia’s twin brother, Dell, were, quite frankly, awful bullies to her in their youth. The reason for Delia’s rigidity of spirit is a direct result of Thai and Dell’s bullying. As such, Thai and Delia must work beyond their past together as they find themselves attracted to each other. 

One of my favorite parts of this book is Delia. Here’s the thing. She’s been bullied in horrible ways, and Thai and Dell are rather flippant about it for much of the story. In most romances, Delia would work to mete out retaliation. She’d find every way to undermine Thai. Yet, Wilder has crafted her to be “set above” her past in her initial conversations with him. When he’s right, she calls him that. And I loved this. I kept waiting for her to engage in gameplay with him, and it didn’t happen. Instead, Delia, while carrying a world of past hurts, is reasonable and mature with Thai who spends much of the beginning of the story showing his immaturity. 

Because Delia is careful and thoughtful, this allows Thai to transcend his own past and find a better version of himself. It is a bit strange that he so easily falls for Delia (and vice versa), but Wilder makes it clear that the attraction had always existed with Thai bullying her because of his interest in her. 

Jasinda Wilder’s The Parent Trap isn’t trying to do anything earthshattering in romancelandia. I simply loved Thai and Delia’s journey because it allowed them to become the best versions of themselves. It makes for a story that steals a little bit of your heart and it feels like a perfect weekend read.

 
In love and romance,

Professor A

✍🏻 Professor Romance’s 3.5 ⭐️ Review: E. Davies’s Limelight ✍🏻

Overall Grade: 3.5 ⭐️

E. Davies’s Limelight is a story about overcoming the past and finding your peace in the future. It also focuses on the danger of lies as a foundation for a relationship, and Davies does a good job of laying out those messages. 

At its core, I liked Tag and Caleb. Yet, I wasn’t bowled over by them, and I found myself wandering away from their story. Davies’s style isn’t the problem. It’s the choices for her heroes that I struggled with. First of all, I’m not a huge fan of insta-love romances. Sadly, you never know this as you enter a story, or realistically speaking, I probably wouldn’t have read this one. Tag and Caleb fall for each other at first look, and that’s strange to me. 

They are sweet together, and there is the spice to offset the sweet, but it’s a little too sweet for this girl. Yes, Caleb and Tag encounter trouble due to withholding information, but it doesn’t ameliorate their sweetness. 

If you love that insta-love type of romance, then you should definitely read Limelight. It just wasn’t quite right for this reader. 

In love and romance, 

Professor A
