Meghan Quinn's new one!! Cover Reveal




THE MODERN GENTLEMAN by Meghan Quinn
Release Date: May 14th
Genre: Contemporary Romance
PRE ORDER HERE:     Kindle of The Modern Gentleman

 
Synopsis from Kindle:

Have you ever hit rock bottom?

I embarrassingly have.

It’s why I’m wearing my girl's decorative scarf over my head, clutching her lady drink to my chest, and singing ever so softly to Joni Mitchell while swaying back and forth.

This is what therapists refer to as LOSING IT.

Oldest story in the book: boy meets girl, boy falls for girl, boy screws up MASSIVELY, girl tells boy to suffocate in the fruits of his very own unborn children.

Heard it before? I'm sure you have.

So what's so different about this story? Well, it's about me, The Modern Gentleman, New York City's top advice columnist, and my rather ungraceful downfall from my pristinly polished pedestal.

It's about a girl I met who threw all my proven theories to the wind and left me awkward, needy, and absolutely head-over-wing-tipped shoes in love.

This is a story about June Lacy and how she single-handedly dismantled The Modern Gentleman.





Stealing My Best Friend by Summer Brooks

 STEALING MY BEST FRIEND (LOVERS LANE BOOK #1)

4 STARS

51794298. sy475 Synopsis from Goodreads:

A Friends to Lovers Romance

I was nine when I befriended him.
Seventeen when I kissed him.
And eighteen when I threw all dirty thoughts about him in the trash.


Vincent Turner is my bad boy best friend.
I’ve never said no to him.
Even when he asked to copy my homework in high school.
Even when he asked me to be his wing woman.
I’ve seen his girlfriends come and leave.
He’s brought me ice cream after my heartbreaks.
And then it all goes to sh*t.

His filthy rich parents find him a doll to marry.
And he asks me to be his wedding planner.


That eleven-year-old kiss is starting to haunt me.
I’d rather be his wife, not his damn wedding planner.
I’ve never said no to Vincent Turner.
You think now might be a good time to start?

This was my first book from Summer Brooks and it was as adorable as the cover itself. Do you remember people telling us as kids not to judge a book by its cover? Maybe that was because book covers weren't this adorable in the 90's. If you are looking for a cute, fast read, with a side of steamy. This will do. It is also available on Kindle Unlimited.

COVER REVEAL!!!

R.S. Grey’s new standalone romance, Love the One You Hate is coming May 7th! Check out the gorgeous cover and find out more today!

About Love the One You Hate (Available May 7th)

Nicholas Hunt is the man I hate. For good reason.   His opinion of me is tainted by prejudice even before my arrival at his grandmother’s estate, and my first impression of him is just as abysmal.   His arrogance and icy demeanor make it clear that he’s the type of man who’s best handled at a distance.   Fortunately, space shouldn’t be an issue inside this Gilded Age mansion and its lush gardens. If I stick with the servants and he keeps to his sailboat and vintage Porsche, we should hardly cross paths at all. Unfortunately, at Rosethorn, I find that all roads eventually lead to Nicholas Hunt.   Sparks fly as we spar at the dinner table. Fighting words are flung in the shadows of the palatial halls.   We hang suspended in our hatred of one another, painfully oblivious to the heat and tension that build with every moment we’re left alone. We’re liable to kill one another, I think…right up until my eyes land on his lips and a new feeling grips hold of me: lust.   What’s worse? He knows it.   They say you should keep your enemies close, but when Nicholas tightens his grip on my waist and draws me near, I’m not sure if it’s out of loathing or love.   One thing’s for sure—I intend to find out.

COCKPIT #2 

4.5 STARS

Take Me Anywhere (Cockpit, #2)Synopsis from Goodreads:

When life as you know it ends, do you give up the fight or take a chance on a new beginning?

After almost losing his life in a horrific plane crash, Warren Parker locks himself away in a humble beach rental where he can hide from the world. As he finally makes his way out of the shadows and into the sun, he discovers that sometimes when you step outside of your own world, you find a whole new one is waiting.

Resilient and driven Ali Price is determined not to let her ex- husband take anything else from her. She's been hurt before and knows she has what it takes to bounce back. With a water tight five year plan to get her life on track, Ali won't let anything stand in her way.

When a stranger arrives in town with mysterious green eyes and a desolate expression, will Ali's plan fall to pieces, or will a serendipitous meeting bring two healing hearts together at a time when they both need someone more than they care to admit?

Parker Airlines is ready to fly you away to beautiful beaches and exotic green rain-forests. Download Take Me Anywhere and enjoy your flight.

I really connected with this story! I enjoyed the first book, but this one went above and beyond my expectations!  I connected with Ali. I loved her character development throughout the book. I also enjoyed the parallel of her with Jack's wife. Warren was a fun character as well. I didn't really see much in the first book of him, but I was happy that this story followed him. This was a quick read so if you have a couple of days, you should be able to enjoy it. I am looking forward to see how this tight-nit family develops over the course of this series. Ladies...Thank you for sharing this book with me!

Spin-off Series after Bro Code from Pippa Grant

MASTER BAKER BY: PIPPA GRANT

4 STARS

Master BakerSynopsis from Goodreads:

He's a master baker with a big...cannoli.

They call me the sugar whisperer.

Anything your tongue desires, I can bake it. Scones? Child’s play. Cupcakes? I’ll frost them so good you won’t know what hit you. Donuts? Please.

You’re talking to a master baker.

But there’s one egg I’ve never been able to crack.

My best friend.

Correction: My former best friend.

She’s the apple in my pie. The whip in my cream. The lemon in my meringue. The wish in my bone.

She’s the one who got away.

After ten years in the military, she’s back. She’s bruised and battered by life, but she’s back.

Except she’s not my second chance. She’s gone to the dark side.

Running a rival bakery in a town not big enough for two.

So now I have to decide—which do I want more?

My bakery?

Or the woman I never should’ve let go of in the first place?

Master Baker is a deliciously fun friends-to-enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy featuring a smooth-talking baker, the one who got away, and a goat with more matchmaking tendencies than a nosy old grandpa. It stands alone with no cheating or cliffhangers.
 

This Book was more intriguing to me after I read the Bro Code series and Grady made an appearance in the first book. I really enjoyed Grady's story. It was adorable.

Billionaire Bad Boys Book One: Tapping the Billionaire by: Max Monroe

TAPPING THE BILLIONAIRE BY MAX MONROE

4.5 STARS

Tapping the Billionaire (Billionaire Bad Boys, #1)Synopsis from Goodreads:

Blind dates? Online dating profiles? Been there, done that.

Georgia Cummings has zero luck with dating, and the era of the internet is not her friend.
No matter how fast she runs, how many corners she turns, she can’t find her way out of this weird, alternate universe where men think d*ck pics are a replacement for small talk and getting to know a girl. One more crotch selfie and she might write men off for good…

But why can’t she stop fantasizing about him?

Kline Brooks is the quintessential billionaire bad boy—dark, styled, short hair, muscles for days, and a panty-dropping smile.
Except—he isn’t.

As his employee, he won’t touch her with a ten foot pole.
But she won’t touch him either.

Too bad their hormones missed the memo.

Disclaimer:
If you’re the type of woman who prefers crotch selfies to small talk, this book isn’t for you.

If you enjoy random men you’ve never met filling up your inbox with dirty words and p*rn—for reasons focused more towards diddling your donut than laughing at the absurdity—this book isn’t for you.

If you HATE laughing, this book isn’t for you.

If you want your male leads to grunt, thrust like jack rabbits, and have one-track minds that prefer a nice pair of t*ts to brains every hour of every day for the rest of forever, well, then, this book still isn’t for you.

But.

If you enjoy a good swoon, a hearty laugh, witty banter, and some hot as f*@% f*@%ing, then consider Georgia Cummings your Girl Friday and Kline Brooks your next irresistible book boyfriend.

The disclaimer for this book...100% spot on! This is the book that made me fall in love with Max & Monroe's dynamic writing style. Do not start this book unless you have a free week or two...because once you start reading the series you will continue to stay up past your bedtime reading them. And as far as the mounds of coffee I had to drink to get me through the days only to get a second wind and finish the next book...totally worth it!

This is a series of interconnected romantic comedy standalones.

Suggested Series Reading order:
#1 Tapping the Billionaire
#1.5 Tapping Her
#2 Banking the Billionaire
#2.5 Banking Her
#3 Scoring the Billionaire
#3.5 Scoring Her

Remember Me By Roxanne Tully

REMEMBER ME BY ROXANNE TULLY

4.5 STARS

Remember MeSynopsis from Goodreads:

"Elizabeth Owen has just exposed her terrible secret... in a houseful during a family reunion. Desperate for forgiveness from her loving husband, but too terrified to ask for it, she decides to escape for a day.

On her way back home, Elizabeth suffers a terrible car accident. Her husband Matt rushes to her side, the past forty-eight hours now an insignificant blur. When his wife finally opens her eyes, she doesn't remember him. She doesn't remember her sinful secret. She doesn't remember anything.

Now, Matt Owen is forced to battle between the anger he needs to constantly suppress and the anguish over losing the woman he loves. And he knows that the only way to get past the bleak reality he's been handed is for Elizabeth to get her memories back.

So when the doctor gives him specific instructions on how to help her remember, why does Matt find himself doing the exact opposite?

Have you ever read a book that really just made you stop and THINK? And let me be clear I am certainly not talking about a stuffy Non-Fiction book that you were assigned in World History in eleventh grade... I am talking about a nice escape from reality that has you questioning the what-ifs in life. So many times while reading this book I had to stop to evaluate the situation unfolding in the book. It gave me so many feels and ultimately I LOVED that this was something so different than anything else I have ever read. Roxanne you are a rockstar and I cannot wait to read something else from you! Thank you for sharing this book with me!!

My New Fav by Meghan Quinn

BOSS MAN BRIDEGROOM

5 STARS

Boss Man BridegroomSynopsis from Goodreads:

"Will you do me the greatest honor of all time and be my bridegroom?” she asks, hope in her eyes . . .

How did I get here? My assistant, bent on one knee, holding my hand, her expectant face waiting for an answer.

Just . . . how?

How did I go from being insulted by Charlee Cox to hiring her to be my assistant? How is it that she’s chaos in color - making me crazy and my life better at the same time?

I never thought I would be staring down at her bright blue eyes begging me to go along with this ridiculous scheme I suggested.

Yes, I suggested. Like the idiot I am, I thought hey, why not start an HR nightmare and have my assistant ask me to marry her?

Confused? Don’t worry, so am I.

But try to follow along, because this is how I became Boss Man Bridegroom.

HOLY CANNOLI. IT IS OFFICIAL (sorry I will stop yelling) this is my favorite book by Meghan Quinn and spoiler alert...she was already starting to be one of my new favorite writers. Man oh man can this girl write! Meghan...if you are listening...er reading...you are such a stellar writer, but this book is beyond anything else of yours. You literally had me snort laughing for so much of it. And can I just say...CANNON scene. Oh my damn. Just thinking about it makes me smirk. I tried to explain it to my girlfriend and ended up laugh crying. It is too good to try to reinterpret. Just do us all a favor and read it. You won't be sorry.

Artemis University Series By: Erin R. Flynn


ARTEMIS UNIVERSITY SERIES BY: ERIN R FLYNN

4.5 STARS


Upended Life (Artemis University #1)Drowning Studies (Artemis University #2)Surviving Plagues (Artemis University Book 3)
Synopsis from Goodreads:

Book 1:
My name is Tamsin Vale and my life is about to get real… Really complicated and ridiculously dangerous. Which is almost funny given at nineteen I already know too much of the darkness of the world and people, the secrets they keep.

Or so I thought.

Turns out those quirky abilities I’ve been keeping secret expose me to a world I didn’t know existed. Sure, I knew I wasn’t human—but how exactly do I find out more without ending up in the wrong hands?

And I’m not so sure I’m in the right hands now given some of the reactions to finding me. They say I’m the last fairy. I’m not sure I should trust them when their thoughts are mostly of power and how to use me.

But I’m also not sure I have much of a choice. My powers are dangerous and I don’t know how to use them. They promise to teach me what I need to know and give me a chance at something I’ve never had before.

A normal life. I don’t think anything about Artemis University and those who attend is normal, but it’s still better than the life I’ve been living if they keep half their promises.

I think hoping they’ll keep half is generous.

Artemis University is a hot burning reverse harem, university-age paranormal academy series with darker elements, strong language, violence, and a heroine who follows her own moral compass of what is right… And who she ends up giving her heart to.
Book 2: 
My name is Tamsin Vale and my life is radically different from a few months ago. I’m a college freshman who didn’t finish high school. I’ve inherited more money than I could ever spend after nineteen years of never having much of anything.

I’m the last fairy… And no one knows what happened to the rest of them.

That doesn’t even cover half of it. I’m having hot sex with a dragon prince that I have some weird energy thing with. Then there’s my sexy professor who I can’t seem to stop crossing lines with when I know it’s stupid.

My best friend—who has turned out to be from a dragon knight clan—now works for the college and is helping to keep me safe. And it’s needed since I’m drawing attention with being powerful as an unknown.

Also, because I’m not declaring my species—but how can I when some people on campus can tell if I’m lying? And telling the truth isn’t an option.

Not if I want to stay alive, much less pass the semester. At least I have the school’s best tutor helping me and I like a challenge.

Including handling the impossible, like trying to save all of Faerie.

Artemis University a hot burning reverse harem, university-age paranormal academy series with darker elements, strong language, violence, and a heroine who follows her own moral compass of what is right… And who she ends up giving her heart to


Book 3:
My name is Tamsin Vale. I’m the last known fairy and I haven’t gotten busted on that yet. I passed my midterms, which seemed like an impossibility a few months ago given I didn’t finish high school and I’m working on that at the same time. But with a lot of hard work and the support of people I’ve helped and new friends, I’m building a life I didn’t think I could ever have.

It’s still an adjustment. I mean, a few months ago I thought I was human with powers and now I’m hooking up with a dragon prince. Oh, and there’s my powerful warlock professor that I’m also involved with. It’s all casual and fun, but I wonder if it would be more if I was able to connect with them emotionally.

Is it even really smart to try given what else I’m facing? I mean, I am trying to save all of Faerie and find out what happened to fairies. It’s killing me not to know and to move at a turtle’s pace, but one false move and I’m dead… Along with all hope of them returning to this world with me.

Hey, who doesn’t love to work under that kind of pressure?

Artemis University is an ongoing hot burning reverse harem, university-age paranormal academy series with darker elements, strong language, violence, and a heroine who follows her own moral compass of what is right… And who she ends up giving her heart to.



I think  I am a little obsessed with this series purely for the fact that it is completely outside of my "normal". With that being said I really enjoyed what Erin R. Flynn has done so far with the story line. It has a lot of fun paranormal mixed in with some really steamy adult fun. The books themselves were quick reads and book 4 just launched. I am so excited to see where she takes the rest of the series!
