Blurb:
Dexter Daniels prefers gems over women. Emeralds over girlfriends. Diamonds over marriage.

He might be the most successful jeweler of his generation, a loyal friend and some say the most handsome man in London, but his past means he doesn’t deal in love.

When Hollie Lumen enters the ballroom where exquisite royal jewels are on display, she brings Dexter’s world to a screeching halt. Despite her hand-me-down dress and borrowed shoes, Hollie is even more stunning than the jewelry. Feisty, funny and ferociously independent, she’s all Dexter can see.

Hollie Lumen can’t catch a break. She thought an internship in London was her chance to escape her responsibilities back in Oregon and for her dreams to come true. When she’s fired only a few weeks after touching down, she’s ready to give up and go home. Hollie never asks for help. She knows the only person she can rely on is herself.

So what’s she going to do about the tall, dark, handsome stranger who keeps rescuing her?

She’s going to rescue him right back.

Mr. Knightsbridge is a stand-alone romance.

Overall Grade: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Every Devney Perry book feels like a journey of the soul. She has this innate ability to encapsulate the challenges of the human spirit into 300 pages of a story. As you turn each page, you find pieces of yourself scattered within her words. When you finish the book, you feel as though the story has acted as a mirror of your own truths and a scalpel to your heart. At the most elemental level, I trust Devney Perry’s romances to both entertain me and entreat me to think more deeply about the human condition. Her newest book, Wild Highway, the second book of the Runaway series, is no different. 

I adored the first book of the series, Runaway Road. For me, Brooks, the hero, was my favorite part of that book. With Wild Highway, I found a heroine who has quickly become one of my Devney Perry favorites. I tend to love broken characters because the journey they undertake holds a depth that you can’t find in a character whose parts aren’t broken. In this book, Gemma won my heart from the beginning. Maybe it’s because I too am trying to find a new place to exist. Maybe my past holds scars that make it difficult for me to connect with feelings. Maybe her struggles feel like my struggles. No matter the reason, Gemma’s evolution in Wild Highway bores deep into your soul as you empathize with her hurts. You simply want her hero, Easton, to figure her out from the start of the book and pour love into the fissures of her soul. However, that would be too easy, and Perry carefully constructs a story that allows both her hero and heroine to come to understand themselves AND develop a depth of love that feels essential, even though it might feel painful for the reader. 

In terms of her hero, Easton, he too has his complications. While his struggles don’t feel as existential as Gemma’s, they also hold a similar tenor. Where do you find your place in a storied generational family? How do you break free of the bonds of family when that family is your foundation? She wraps these questions into Easton’s character while elaborating them within his gruff and temperamental exterior. This type of hero is my favorite hero because hard exteriors often portend soft underbellies. When that is recognized by the heroine, it makes for exquisite moments of connection. Wild Highway is no different in that sense.  Easton’s struggle against falling illustrate Perry’s deft ability to craft chemistry. It’s why you can’t help but to fall in love with every Perry hero and/or heroine, including her Easton and Gemma.

And as is the case with her other books, Devney Perry’s style is seamless here. There is no stumbling over her words. There is no finding yourself lost in her images. Instead, there is a smooth trot through her story, finding yourself galloping to her end. She spins images with her words that help you feel the forever love of her characters, and you feel satiated by the end. Now, once this story ends, more than Runaway Road, you are left feeling bereft. Why? Because the next book in this series feels more connected than the last. I left Wild Highway mourning the fact that I don’t already have Quarter Miles. If Wild Highway is any indication, Quarter Miles story might even be stronger, if that can be imagined. 

As I said at the beginning of this review, I trust Devney Perry with romance. I have read her entire book list, and time and time again, she takes little pieces of my heart and soul with her storytelling. Her characters read like real people. Their journeys are mirrors to my life experience, along with the experiences of others, and that makes Perry special. Ultimately, Wild Highway is a beautifully wrought romance about finding your place and your people. It’s about coming home and feeling whole again. 

In love and romance,

Professor A

WILD HIGHWAY (Runaway #2) Release Date: June 23rd Purchase Details: www.devneyperry.com/books/wild-highway Gemma Lane built an empire. Not a small feat, considering her home as a teenager was a makeshift tent in a California junkyard. She’s dedicated her life to turning pennies into millions. She has power, fortune and prestige. And she’s leaving it all behind. Gemma is headed across the country in her best friend’s Cadillac when a detour in Montana reunites her with old acquaintances and a man who hasn’t changed. Easton Greer challenges her every word and tests her every limit because he doesn’t believe she’s really abandoned her riches. She ignores his snide remarks and muttered censure—until the day she’s ready to return to the wild highway, and Easton taunts her to stay. She’ll prove to him she’s not just running back to her wealthy life, that she’s more than her money. She’ll unlock her guarded heart and hope that this time around, he’ll treasure the key.

EXCERPT I opened the door, a smile still on my face, and collided, headfirst, with a wall of muscle. “Oh, sorry.” I looked up and my heart stopped. The smell of leather and aftershave filled my nose. I looked up to see a pair of dark brown eyes hooded by long, onyx lashes. I took in the straight nose, the sharp jaw and strong chin. My gaze dropped to the full lips I’d tasted once, on a night eleven years ago. I’d never seen a face as symmetrical and so beautifully masculine as Easton Greer’s. Even when he scowled, like he was now, it was a wonder. He’d gotten even more handsome. How was that possible? He’d transformed from a young man to just a man, man. Rugged and rough and sexy. “Gemma.” My name came out as a growl in his deep voice and I tore my gaze away from his mouth, taking a step back. “Hi,” I breathed, the air heavy and thick. He took a step away, then another, his glare unwavering. Easton cast his scowl over his shoulder and spotted the Cadillac. “That yours?” “Yes.” “You’re staying here.” Not a question. An accusation. If he had it his way, I’d be uninvited. I lifted my chin. “Yes, I came to see Katherine.” His jaw ticked. “I thought we’d gotten rid of you years ago.” Ouch. I guess he was still pissed about that whole sex in his room and waking up to find me gone. But, good or bad, he hadn’t forgotten me.

Knocking Boots, a steamy, small-town romance from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Willow Winters, is available now!

We were never meant to be together.
He’s a bartender with noncommittal tendencies.
I’m looking for … the opposite. Commitment. Period.

But drinks and a bet led to something it shouldn’t have: a fake relationship. Worse, a first date, a first kiss… and then more.

He’s addictive and I can’t bring myself to accept the reality.
That it’s all a lie and I’m fooling myself by thinking he could want more. That I could change him.

He’s mine for as long as I keep on pretending like this is just for fun.
As if I don’t want more…
Like when he whispers my name, I pretend it doesn’t make my heart flip.
Like when he holds me at night, I pretend I don’t want to lay in his bed every night.

It’s just a bet; just a lie . . . until it isn’t.

Excerpt:

Prologue

Charlie

“Charlie…”

Grace’s soft voice beckons me from across the hotel room as I shut the door. I pull at the knot in my necktie, loosening it before tossing it on the floor. Through the dim light the night provides I can barely see as she scissors her legs under the stark white hotel comforter.

It’s unreal to me still that she wants me so much and what’s more, they all think she’s mine. Every one of those guests at my sister’s wedding thinks Grace belongs to me. Then again, the whole damn town is convinced she’s the next one to get hitched.

They’re right about one thing. She’ll be screaming my name tonight. But the rest is all a lie.

“Don’t make me wait anymore…” she pleads.

Grace’s slender neck arches as she grips the comforter in her hands and groans out her words with a little pout on her lush lips.

I’ve got her so worked up, my little sweetheart, but that wasn’t hard to do. I knew she wanted me. She doesn’t want to keep me though; she just wants me for the night. Tonight, she’s all mine. I’m not the kind of guy who’s good enough for her. Even though my throat gets tight at the thought, and my steps pause on the way to her, I blame myself. She was too tempting to resist and all of this is my fault.

Grace isn’t the kind of girl who winds up with a man like me. She’s got her life planned out. She wants the whole nine yards, and in less than a year.

She wants a picture-perfect family and a white picket fence, but that’s not a life I’m ready for nor one I can provide. Not right now. Maybe not ever.

I can see Grace wearing a white dress. A wedding dress. I bet she’d wear one of those big ass gowns with a train that filled the aisle. It’s not hard to imagine how the dress would move around her long, shapely legs.

The thought of her walking down the aisle to someone else, a man other than myself, pisses me off. The anger rises, heating my blood just thinking about it and that tightness in my throat comes back with a vengeance. But there’s no way in hell I’ll be the man she’s walking toward. We both know that. I have Grace for tonight, and that’s all that matters. It’s what I wanted in our deal.

It was a drunken deal we made when our flirtatious natures got out of hand. She promised to come to the wedding and pretend to be my girlfriend, to keep my family off my back.

I slip off my shirt, and start undoing my belt just as she turns onto her side and looks at me through her long lashes, her eyes shining with lust.

“I want you, Charlie.” She whispers the words I’ve been dreaming of since she first stepped into my life.

Fuck. I can’t take my name sounding like lust on her lips. As if the taste of my name is all she needs to get off.

Or maybe I’m just imagining it. Maybe all this is in my head, because I want to think that hooking up somehow means more to her now.

It wasn’t supposed to be anything serious.

It was just a date. Just a release. All of this was only for fun.

And I know after tonight, she’ll be long gone.

The bed groans as I climb on top of it and I bend down to kiss the soft skin on the tender side of her neck, I can’t help thinking she feels so right. So perfect in my arms.

I pull back the comforter, revealing the lacy negligee she’s wearing, and watch a beautiful pink blush travel up her chest and into her cheeks.

“What’s this?” I ask her with a cocked brow. My already hard dick twitches with the need to get that lingerie off of her and onto the floor. I want what’s underneath.

She bites down on her bottom lip and attempts to throw back one of those smart ass responses she’s always got for me, but my lips are on hers before she gets a single word out. Nipping and sucking and reveling in what’s to come.

Her fingers spear into my hair and she deepens the kiss, wrapping her legs around my hips. My hands roam up the curve of her waist and back down as she moans into my mouth.

This is dangerous. I’m fucking addicted. I swear, it wasn’t supposed to happen like this.

As I stare down at her beautiful face, her lips parted and her gorgeous baby blues half-lidded, I know this isn’t just a good time anymore. Not for me.

I’m not the type of man she wants. We both know that. I don’t have what it takes to keep her.

But damn… I want to.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken comes the next standalone rockstar romance in her Seaside Pictures series…

Surrender is now live!

I had his posters on my wall when I was sixteen and when I accidentally got pregnant in high school—his was the face I dreamt of when I closed my eyes at night.

Now, over twenty years later, that dream’s turned into a reality.

Not only is Drew Amhurst in my tiny town of Seaside, live and in the flesh…

But he’s mentoring my rockstar son.

Drew says he’s mine for a week.

And he made me three promises.

“No strings attached.”

“No falling in love.”

“It’s only seven days.”

He’s confident that he can help me rediscover myself both in and out of the bedroom, and I’m confident that he’s too arrogant for his own good.

And at the end of seven days, he swears he’ll walk out of my life the way he came into it.

The only problem is, the more I get to know him, the more I want to surrender the last pieces of my heart and beg him to stay.

Blurb:

The only daughter of a notorious criminal, Giuliana Capaldi is no stranger to secrets and lies. When her father is killed, Jules becomes a ward of her cruel, abusive uncle. As tensions rise between La Cosa Nostra and the Bratva, he arranges her betrothal to the captain’s son—a man whose previous wives have all mysteriously disappeared. With no other thought than to escape a violent marriage—or worse—Jules flees.

All Eric Donahue wanted was peace and quiet in his sleepy little town. After the mission three years ago that nearly ended his life, he left Chicago in search of seclusion and solitude. When he finds the green-eyed beauty sleeping in her car on the side of the road, he offers her a safe haven. Despite the inexplicable connection between them, Eric vows to stay away—far, far away. Jules is too young, too innocent for a man like him; everything about her is wrong… but so very right.

In close quarters, a bond is forged and neither can resist the pull of desire sparking between them. But when the past catches up, they must hope that their love is strong enough to save them both…

*Pretty Little Lies is book one of the Deception Duet. It can be read as a standalone and ends as a “happily for now.” Giuliana and Eric’s story continues in Beautiful Deception, coming in September, 2020
