Rifts and Refrains by Devney Perry is now live! 

From the moment Quinn Montgomery sat behind her first snare and cymbal set, she was destined for fame and glory. As Hush Note’s infamous female drummer, she sets the rhythm for the band’s chart-toppings hits. When people tap their feet to their music, it’s to her pulse.
Quinn is content to live in a world away from her family and the cage of her youth. Her only regret is leaving Graham Hayes behind without a goodbye. No matter how many sold-out stadiums she plays, no matter how many crowds sing her songs, his voice haunts her when the music stops.
When a family tragedy forces her to return home to Montana, she plans to leave the second she’s paid her respects. But seeing Graham again turns her life upside down. As a boy, he wasn’t able to make her stay. As a man, he might be her future.
If they can mend their rifts and find solace in the refrains.

Blurb:
If I can keep Hush Note’s leading guitarist, Nixon Winters, on the straight and narrow for the next six months, I’ll finally get my own band to manage—assuming we don’t kill each other first.

The egotistical, irritating rock star is fresh out of rehab, but it’s obvious his demons followed him home—and now I’m sleeping down the hall. I’ve watched him self-destruct every summer, and with album deadlines and tour dates looming, I can’t let it happen again. My career is in his hands.

But tattoos can’t cover every scar, and I’m starting to see through his trademark, irresistible charm to the damage beneath.

Everyone wants the rock star.
I’m falling for the man.

If he doesn’t let me in,
he’ll never break the cycle—
And when these six months are up,
I might be the one left broken.

Imagine With Me by Kristen Proby is now live! 

From New York Times Bestselling author Kristen Proby, comes an all new novel in her beloved With Me In Seattle series!

Shawn O’Callaghan loves his job as a screenwriter almost as much as he loves his family. But this latest project could quite possibly test his patience beyond anything he’s ever had to endure. Generally unflappable, the author he’s thrown into the trenches with pushes every button he has. Sometimes twice. And it doesn’t help that he can’t stop thinking about her in ways that are anything but professional. But how can he help it? The brunette is gorgeous beyond reason–and utterly infuriating.

Bestselling author Lexi Perry is finally about to leave her mark on the world; after all, seeing her dark and dangerous words brought to life is a dream come true. Until she meets the man who is supposed to make that happen. From the minute they laid eyes on each other, it was clear there would be tension, but she had no idea how much until they got down to business. He obviously doesn’t understand her vision. Though she’s having trouble lately too, given all she can picture is what he looks like under his clothes and imagining what it would sound like if he talked dirty to her in that sexy Irish lilt of his.
If they can find a way to meet in the middle, this movie could be one for the ages. As could their love.

Overall Grade: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ +++

“Some loves are a lifetime.”

There is something distinct and yet familiar about a Jewel E. Ann book. For me, each of her romances has a different voice, a different character. Yet, in their differences, you find threads that connect them in ways unique to Jewel E. Ann. Her newest book, Out of Love, is no different. Even as the fourth book of a series, one not originally considered, it is different in its demeanor yet elicits the sameness of her other novels. And in true Jewel E. Ann fashion, it is gritty, emotional, and unexpected.

If you have read Jewel E. Ann’s “Jack and Jill” series (End of Day, Middle Knight, and Dawn of Forever), then you have run the marathon of Ann’s epic romantic suspense. In the end, if you are anything like me, you felt every distinct mile of that marathon as Ann puts you through emotional paces over the course of the three-book series. Yet, at its end, it’s clear that forever love, love between soulmates, is this series’ focus. That in the end, everyone ends up with the person they are meant for EVEN after moments of trauma and loving others in the interim. That series is an apt example of Ann’s enigmatic writing: equal parts humor, suspense, $ex, and love. On any given page, you aren’t entirely sure what feelings will be provoked, and it makes you feel, to be honest, a bit bipolar, which makes that series (and her other books) my favorites in romancelandia. I love the manipulation of feelings in the series because it reminds me that I’m alive and human. It showcases Ann’s ability to invest you in her stories. And then, Jewel E. Ann decided to write a fourth book, an addendum to this series, with Out of Love. 

Had I known that I would be running that marathon again, had I known that Ann would make me feast on pain and glory in the “ends” of things, I would have laughed at you. When I entered her story, I prayed that she wouldn’t undermine Luke and Jessica, my favorite couple of the Jack and Jill series. I was worried about going into the book because my heart wouldn’t handle the disruption of their relationship. What I found was even more diabolical because Jewel E. Ann hit against the portion of my heart dedicated to parenting. Honestly, that is probably one of my most predominant identities, and Ann reminded me of the depth and gravity of a parent’s love in this story. And she does this in a supreme recipe of humor, suspense, and spice.

I won’t tell you any part of this story. I won’t tell you the specifics about the people the story focuses on because it undermines the mystery of Ann’s book. For me, that’s important because every one of her books, Out of Love not be excluded, is anything you expect it to be. That is the brilliance of Jewel E. Ann. You never know what she will offer you, but you take it greedily and thank her wholeheartedly in the end. With Out of Love, one minute, you find yourself laughing at Livy’s tactics. She’s incredibly witty while naive. She’s persistent and tenacious, even to a fault. She is a perfect combination of her parents which makes her equal parts compassionate and dangerous, and Ann has ascribed her the heart of this story. In her characterization is the promise of a forever. 

While Slade Wylder has earned the focus of Jewel E. Ann’s Facebook group and Instagram account for purposes of promotion, he is just a pawn at the hand of Ann. He IS the impetus for Livy’s evolution; he galvanizes her journey. He is the reason that Livy’s heart grows and morphs, and he does very little other than “being” in order for this to happen. He’s a mystery and a monster and someone you can’t help but love. Ann makes it hard for you to do so, but she makes it easier because of his dog (yes, his dog made me like Slade). Together, Slade and Livy are the embodiment of Jewel E. Ann’s trademark romance. If you have read her books previously, then you know that you are in line for a story that will indelibly mark your soul. If you are looking for Out of Love to diverge from her other stories, you won’t find it here. 

What you find here is a book so carefully wrought, so canonically identified to the original series, that you will end the story astounded by Jewel E. Ann once again. There is intention here; there is a careful plotting; and there are characters who will burrow into your heart just as Jessica, Jackson, Ryn, and Luke did so in the earlier series. When I was done reading this story, I sat back silent for a time because I really had no idea that Out of Love would capture me as it did. I know I shouldn’t be surprised as I’ve encountered this at the end of every Jewel E. Ann book. Time and time again, she reminds us that she is a romance author who defies labels. It’s why so many of us love her stories and buy them without question. In a world where romance can be predictable, Jewel E. Ann illustrates that she has the power to surprise her readers each and every time. Yes, Out of Love is a standalone story, and yes, you can read it by itself. However, you will miss out on the treasure and intelligence of this book if you do so. This is the Jewel E. Ann effect, and I’m thankful for each of her books that reminds me that I’m still human, emotions and all. 

In love and romance,

Professor A

I could love the monster or leave the man. 

Out of Love by Jewel E. Ann is now live! 

Conspiracies. Corruption. Serial killers.

You name it–I’m fascinated by it. My mom always blamed my overly curious and highly suspicious mind on my dad.

My incredibly overbearing dad.

Mr. No One Is Good Enough For My Daughter has been terrifying my dates since I turned fifteen.

College is my chance to be free from his control and date any guy I want.

I’m absolutely certain he would hate Slade Wylder–almost as certain as I am that I do too.

Since when have I shied away from trouble?

Slade fascinates me. He lives in a house I’m certain is haunted. His dog is trained as well as any guard I’ve ever seen. Rumor on campus is that he deals drugs. It would explain a lot.

But it doesn’t explain why he saves me from my darkest moment.

It doesn’t explain why I can’t stop thinking about him.

And the explanation I finally discover is far more dangerous than any rumor.

From USA Today bestselling author comes the second book in the Lost Boys series of interconnected standalones. Holden and River’s emotional and heart-wrenching journey to love, redemption, and their happy ever after. 

When You Come Back To Me by Emma Scott is now live! 

At Santa Cruz Central High School, they called them the misfits, the outcasts, the weirdos. But most of us knew them as the Lost Boys…

Holden Parish survived his parents’ horrific attempts to make him “the perfect son.” After a year’s stint in a Swiss sanitarium to recover, he has vowed to never let anything–or anyone–trap him again. Brilliant but broken, he seeks refuge behind alcohol, meaningless sex, and uses his wicked sense of humor to keep people away. He only has to ride out one year in the coastal town of Santa Cruz with his aunt and uncle before he inherits his billions and can make his escape. Disappear.

Falling in love is not in the plans.

River Whitmore. Star quarterback of the Central High football team, Prom King, Mr. Popular, ladies’ man. He leads the perfect life…except it’s all a lie. His father has River’s future in the NFL all planned out, while River’s dream is to run the family business in the town that he loves. But his mother’s illness is tearing the family apart and River is becoming the glue that holds them together. How can he break his father’s heart when it’s already shattering?

River’s carefully-crafted façade explodes when he meets Holden Parish. A guy who dresses in coats and scarves year-round, drinks expensive vodka, and spends his free time breaking into houses for the fun of it. They’re complete opposites. River seeks a quiet life, away from the spotlight. Holden would rather have dental surgery than settle down.

Holden’s demons and River’s responsibilities threaten to keep them apart, while their undeniable attraction crashes them together again and again, growing into something deep and real no matter how they resist.

Until one terrible night changes everything.

Lusting after the woman trying to steal my job is stupid. Sexting with her? That’s a game-changing fumble.

Emma Crawford became enemy number one the second she stepped foot on Blue Mountain Farm. She might think I’m just a dumb jock, but I know she’s a stuck-up wine snob who believes she’d be a better exec than me.

She can take my position over my dead body.

But with her ridiculous curves and fearless smarts, she’s becoming one giant distraction just when I need to prove my worth most.

Lucky for me that I have a secret internet sext partner to blow off steam with. My nightly dirty chats with V scratch all the itches Emma gives me.

Emma and V couldn’t be more different–except it turns out they’re the same person.

Just when I thought this scenario was enough of a disaster, I’m falling for the co-worker I can’t touch and can hardly stand.

Even a hotshot player like me can see this is a game we’re both gonna lose.

Overall Grade: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Okay. My review is going to be a bit of a mixed bag, and I hate that. I hate that for readers, and I hate that for the author. Ryder by Prescott Lane, for me, is a second-half book. That’s important to note because I think some readers might quit reading it if they don’t know that the strength of the book lies in his second half. Here’s the thing. I really liked Knox, the first Merrick Brothers’ book. It excited me that I had found a new author to read, so I was really looking forward to reading Ryder, especially after the blurb. I am a nut for secret baby stories. The revelation of a child to a person who is seemingly not suited to a child makes for a great story. And that’s here in Ryder. Even more, Ryder’s response to it is EVERYTHING in this book. In fact, Ryder, for me, is the best part of this book. Even when he makes choices that are problematic. Even when he fails to acknowledge feelings. Even when he’s being too worried, too possessive, too much. You cannot help but love Ryder. In fact, one of the main reasons that the second half of this book is the best part of it is Ryder. He’s a man with secrets, and Prescott Lane waits for much of the book to reveal them. In fact, I believe she waits too long. That being said, she brings about a lovely happy ending, so all is forgiven for making the reader wait. But it also slows the narrative down…A LOT. 

I always give some love to the heroine, and Kailey’s characterization has strengths. She’s the first one to decide that Ryder is more than his music. She is resilient in her unplanned pregnancy and reaching out to Ryder. However, in Kailey’s evolution, there is quite a bit of inconsistency, and it sometimes makes the story feel repetitive and uneven. We could decide that its the effects of being pregnancy (you know, hormones), but I’m not sure. And it makes the first half of the book slow. As the story reaches its climax, then it takes off. You won’t be able to put it down, and the ending will make you feel as though your time, in the beginning, was worth it. Kailey’s strength finds purchase in the story eventually, and she is the perfect match for Ryder.

In the end, I liked Ryder, but I do think Knox is the stronger of the two books. As a character, Ryder pulled at my heartstrings, and he is my favorite type of hero, the broken kind. If you love that kind of hero, then you will like Ryder too, and I encourage you to grab this one along with its predecessor, Knox. You don’t want to miss out on both of Prescott Lane’s Merrick Brothers.

In love and romance,

Professor A
