✍🏻 Desperate Times, Silver Ridge Book 2, is LIVE. Ready for the resolution to Sam and Chloe’s story? ✍🏻

Desperate Times by Emily Goodwin is now live! I fell in love with Chloe Fisher when we were only kids. I knew then, just like I know now, there will never be another woman in the world for me but her. A silly childhood pact to marry each other if we were still single and thirty kept us together…until I messed up, hurting the only woman I’ve ever truly cared about. I swore if I ever got a second chance, I would make things right, prove to Chloe I’ve changed, that I’m not the same guy who broke her heart years ago.

History has a way of repeating itself, and now that Chloe is finally giving me what I’ve always wanted, I’m terrified that maybe Chloe will always be the one that got away. That maybe, just maybe, she’s entirely too good for me.I’ve never been one to give up, and I’ll keep fighting for her—for us, even though the universe is doing its very best to keep us apart. It’s true what they say: desperate times call for desperate measures. And I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make her mine.

Blurb:
Scott Sebastian is a liar.

Fitting, since I’m a liar too.

Yet there’s no place for me in his glittering world of half-truths.

With all our secrets in the open, I should stop trying. What I’ve learned should send me running far away. I can’t keep pining for a man in love if I’m not the woman he’s in love with.

But it’s not that easy to escape the Sebastians. I already knew they owned this city.

Now I’ll find out if they also own their son.

Excerpt:

“You’re blushing,” I said.

“You can’t tell that.”

It wasn’t true. Her darker skin made it harder to tell, but not impossible. “Are you trying to tell me that you’re not?”

She tried to hide it, but even in profile, I could see the twitch of her mouth.

My cock twitched in response. What was it about her? What was it about this woman that made me want to tear her clothes off every time she was in the same room with me? I’d been attracted to plenty of women before, but I’d always been in control. With her, I felt like I was spinning. Or rather, with her I noticed that I was spinning, that I’d always been spinning, like I was on a merry-go-round or a hamster wheel, and she was standing tall and steady on the ground, and for the first time in my life, I wanted to get off the wheel. I wanted more than the ride. I wanted to stand steady.

And I wanted the dirty stuff too.

Unable to help myself, I moved behind her, caging her in, using the excuse to reach for a mug dangling on the hook above her head, though there were already plenty sitting on the sideboard. Pressing my body closer than necessary, I lowered my head and spoke low. “If you’re thinking anything like the things I’m thinking right now—the things I’m remembering—no wonder you’re blushing.”

“Scott.” It was barely a whisper. A plea filled with sexual frustration. I could practically smell the pheromones coming off her. Could swear I could hear the rapid pulse of her heart.

With more strength than I possessed, she pulled away, one hand holding on to the buffet as though she needed the anchor. Then she hit me with a half-amused glare. “Okay. I’m blushing.

✍🏻 Professor Romance’s 5++⭐️ Review: H. Hunting’s Little Lies ✍🏻

Overall Grade: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ++

“You can’t keep out what makes your heart beat in the first place.”

Take any book in Helena Hunting’s Pucked or All In series. Locate the darkest and deepest parts of those books, the places where the hurt exists, but where grace and love reside. Mine that space for the beauty of its depths, and turn that dearth of humor, so prevalent in her books, into a book about soulmates and codependency. It is there where H. Hunting’s newest book, Little Lies, begins. 

If you thought the couples of the Pucked or All In series were madly in love, you haven’t yet met Kodiak Bowman and Lavender Waters. Of her couples, these two have officially taken the trophy of most fated soulmates. Their story isn’t an easy one. Hunting’s Little Lies is a huge flex, an acknowledgment of her giftedness at, not only writing stories that make you laugh until your stomach hurts, but her adeptness at writing stories that feel as though someone has wrapped their fist around your heart and squeezed it to its depths. 

“You can start by erasing all the little lies with truths.”

There is an underlying psychology to Little Lies. That psychology breathes depth into a story that is mostly serious but still has the markings of Hunting’s humor. You know that if Violet and her mother are here, then there is sure to be inappropriate moments. What you realize quickly is that Lavender has shades of her mother in her. If you believe that Little Lies is solely serious, it isn’t. The parts of Hunting’s persona as a writer of rom-coms still exists, and she has placed these moments in Little Lies when you need them the most. For the first half of the book, my heart beat out of chest, and my stomach felt like it was in my throat as Kodiak and Lavender circle each other and as their early days are revealed. It isn’t an easy read emotionally, but the payoff for the dissension, for the outright ugliness of the first part of the book, is a second part that is so beautifully carved that it makes the first part worth it. That’s the reward of Little Lies. And anyone daring enough to endure Hunting’s take on the second generation of Pucked and All In characters is gifted the genius of Hunting. This book feels fresh for her, especially in its complexity of spirit. 

I won’t reveal any story here. The blurb and the teases on Hunting’s Facebook page are enough to pique your curiosity. This book holds secrets. It also holds the treasure of glimpsing the next level of play for this universe. I am hoping and praying that there are more stories to come as Hunting teases you throughout this book of the potential for more. But you should know that this book is a prose dream. Hunting’s words in this book touch you. They bleed out the depth and gravity of this book’s topics and its characters. If you could see my book, you’d see pages of highlights because Hunting’s words are delectable and heavy. 

“[]ex with Lavender isn’t just physical; it’s every part of me and every part of her fusing into one.“

H. Hunting’s Little Lies is not what I expected from her, but exactly what I needed. It’s thoughtful, emotional, challenging, and a treasure. If you are a fan, you will absolutely adore this book as I have. If you have never read Helena Hunting, you can start here. It’s a true standalone within the realm of new adult romance. However, to truly understand the significance of this book and its place in the Helena Hunting universe,  you should read her Pucked and All In series first. And trust me, you will never regret that journey as you will NOT regret reading Little Lies

In love and romance, 

Professor A

There’s only one thing to do when you wake up, married to your brand new boss, whom you hate but can’t resist: You blame the champagne.


I blame the bubbles for my wild night with a masked stranger.


Who cares if it’s nothing this good girl would normally do–with a man that turns out to be my horrible boss?


Who cares that I’m promised to someone else?


I blame the alcohol for agreeing to marry him.


As long as my new husband keeps his mouth shut, I can survive five years of our little arrangement. It’s too late for anything else.


But our impromptu wedding leads to so much more than I bargained for. His dirty promises warm me. His kisses make me lightheaded. His respect slips past my best defenses. The hate turns to friendship, and makes me dream of more. He’s like the most dangerous kind of champagne.


That’s why I blame him for making me fall in love with him.

Blurb:
Twelve years ago, our fates were sealed with a kiss.

We are all, for better or worse, doomed to love each other until death do us part. My heart belongs to Proserpina and St. Sebastian—even if he no longer wants it. Even if she has left it behind to follow him.

Delphine’s fled back home, and Becket’s holy calling is in peril.

And now only Rebecca and I remain at Thornchapel to face the unknown.

The door is open. The door that shouldn’t exist; the door that people have died to close. I don’t feel like the lord of the manor…I don’t feel like a king or a wild god. I am a friend and a boyfriend and a brother—and a failure at being all of these things. But the door doesn’t care about my guilt. It only cares about the sacrifice I’ll make to close it.

As the bruising dark of Samhain approaches, so does the fate of our circle, of Thornchapel and the village and the valley beyond it. And I must don the crown, because one thing is still true, even if I must face it alone.

Here at Thornchapel, the kings must go to the door.

Here at Thornchapel, all kings must die.

✍🏻 Blog Tour & Excerpt: Devney Perry’s Noble Prince ✍🏻

Noble Prince by Devney Perry is now live!

Read my 5 ⭐️ review HERE.

The night Luke Rosen met Scarlett Marks was the only time he’s regretted becoming chief of police. One horrific night of blood and death, and now she’s living under his roof–all because he swore an oath to serve and protect.
Scarlett is stubborn and infuriating. She has no respect for the order in his structured life, and she never does anything she’s told. Worse, she doesn’t seem to care that the information she has on a motorcycle gang means she might end up dead. But her unwavering strength, her courage and tenacity and beauty, makes it impossible for him to abandon her.
If Luke is going to keep her safe, he’ll have to make the hardest decision of his life. He can either honor his values as a cop, knowing Scarlett is unlikely to survive . . . or he can break all the rules and protect the woman who’s invaded his home and his heart.

Excerpt

“If you’re not going to get out of the way, I’ll just go around.” I spun on my shoes, whirling the opposite direction, but when I went to take a step and carry my basket away, I suddenly found its weight missing from my arm. He’d stolen it from me before I’d had the chance to clutch it tight.

Then the world was spinning. The floors, the ceiling, everything flipped topsy-turvy.

I’d fainted.

No, that wasn’t right.

I was being carried. Hauled. That had been Luke’s threat and damn it, I’d underestimated him. The chief had made good on his word.

His shoulder dug into my belly as he walked. I lifted my face, pushing the hair out of my eyes. My basket of food sat exactly where I’d been standing. My chicken and rolls and cookies and chocolate milk. The items grew smaller with every one of Luke’s strides.

“Put me down.”

He kept walking.

“Put me down!” I shouted.

Still, he kept walking.

I lifted a hand and raised it above my head. My hair kept falling in front of my face, obscuring my vision, but that didn’t stop me from using every ounce of strength I had left. I brought my fist down on Luke’s lower back. Except my aim was shit so I didn’t hit his back. No, my fist bounced off his firm, perfect ass.

Luke didn’t so much as break his stride. “I promised Presley I’d keep you safe.”

And without another word, without stopping, he carried me in a fireman’s hold out of the grocery store and into the snow.

I was going back to the daisies, whether I wanted to or not.

Hello, Scarlett. I’m rock bottom.

✍🏻 Professor Romance’s 5 ⭐️ Review: Meghann Quinn’s See Me After Class ✍🏻

Overall Grade: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Mr. Darcy is the preeminent romantic hero in the same class as your Edward Cullen, Mr. Rochester, and Noah Calhoun. Most romantic heroes pull from some aspect of these heroes (along with others), and that connection makes romance readers fall for these heroic types. To a certain degree, Meghan Quinn’s newest workplace romance, See Me After Class, borrows from this tradition, offering a story that steals your heart. Her hero, Arlo Turner, is a modern-day Darcy, a seemingly pompous, staid, traditional teacher who becomes “bewitched” by the new teacher in school, Greer Gibson. Borrowing the same themes about pride and prejudice as hindrances to seeing the real person, See Me After Class is a delightful read that leaves you swooning for Quinn’s couple. 

What is there to absolutely adore about this story?

What’s not to love about an all alliterative heroine? Greer is that every woman heroine. She is young to Arlo’s thirty-two. She is the borderline Gen Z challenge to his older millennial persona. And he detests her youth and approach to teaching. Greer takes this in stride, showing her strength and sense of empathy, and this is what endears you to her. I love that Greer is willing to go toe-to-toe with Arlo because the man needs some shaking up. And Greer…she does that well. Quinn offers my favorite type of heroine in her construction of Greer. 

Secondly, there is a cadre of characters in this story that offer up so many laughs. There is a clear connection to Brentwood University and Quinn’s baseball players in the form of Gunnar and Romeo, who act as a comedic buffer of sorts to Arlo’s buttoned-up hero. Add in Stella as Greer probably closest gal, the one who keeps it a little silly but has a serious streak too. Cora is Arlo’s sister, but his voice of reason. She is the impetus for his self-reflection as she battles through her own issues. I am hoping desperately that Quinn crafts a story for her because she deserves it (Stella too). And my favorite (after Greer and Arlo) is Keiko or “Keeks” for shore. Oh, how I adore Keiko as that unusual voice of reason who is more honest than society actually allows, but we love her for it anyway. When you read a Quinn romance, you want to befriend these fictional characters because she makes them feel real and vital. This is also very true of See Me After Class.

Thirdly, the true genius of this story is the allusion to Pride and Prejudice and Quinn’s parallelism to that story, not only in her characterizations but also in some of the actual writing. I’m a HUGE P&P fan, so it gives me goosebumps when a writer such as Quinn does this well. Honestly, her final lines in this book give you goosebumps and feel so replete in their execution. On finishing the story ten minutes ago, I”m already nostalgic for this story and its writing. 

Lastly, I adore Arlo. Arlo is Mr. Darcy, to an extent. There were moments in the early part of the book where I was like Greer and wanted to reach into the book and throttle the man. But any romance reader knows that curmudgeonly heroes fall hard. I love the journey that Quinn has created for him as she interrogates the idea of intimacy in relationships. She mixes up his incredibly alpha tendencies of control with a soft underbelly of fear and emotion. For me, this makes for the best possible heroic combination. For all the initial feelings of frustration for him, I left this story so sated by his characterization. 

Every Meghan Quinn book honestly surprises me. I’m not sure why because she has the ability to write about the human condition in a way that makes you laugh from your belly and shed tears for her characters. See Me After Class is a delectable romp of a workplace romance with some serious love-hate tension between her hero and heroine. After the tension clears, and the chemistry is set to high, the story becomes this magical place to reside in for an afternoon. It’s a perfect reminder of why we love to read love.

In love and romance,

Professor A
