Heart of the Kingpin 

by E.C. Land 

Now available to preorder at major retailers!!

https://geni.us/HOTKingpin

He's the ruthless royal that reigns supreme, and she ignites his every desire...
Orpheus
In the shadowed heart of the supernatural underworld, I am a god among men.
The son of Hades. The Vampire King. Just a whisper of my name is enough to trigger a mere mortal's nightmares.
With a booming business and a reputation for terror, I can have anything -- or anyone -- that I want.
And I want Cassia.
Her beauty is irresistible and her devotion is intoxicating.
She has no business mixing drinks at Nightclub Dyrk like a common servant.
She's far too innocent to be more than just a toy.
But I'll take what she has to give and enjoy every exquisite moment.
Then someone dares to threaten her life and my true nature emerges.
No one has ever seen the full extent of my power.
Or how far I'm willing to go to claim what's mine.
Until now...

Book Tour: Forever Kind of Love (Cedar Hill #1) by Susan Bagby with an excerpt, a giveaway, and my review

FOREVER KIND OF LOVE

by Susan Bagby

GENRE: Contemporary Romance

BLURB:

Willow Barton’s life crumbles at her husband’s arrest for fraud, forcing her to return to her Ohio hometown to rebuild. Running a small bookstore and helping her best friend care for her ailing father offers solace—until Zachary Hayes, her best friend’s brother and a charming country music star, shows up. Struggling to revive his career and reconnect with his estranged father, Zach sparks an undeniable yet unwelcome chemistry with Willow. As her estranged husband seeks forgiveness, and Zach battles his own demons, Willow must confront her painful past and decide if she’s willing to risk her heart again. Caught between heartbreak and hope, can they overcome their fears and build a future together?

EXCERPT:

He browsed the shelves, stopping in front of a framed photograph on the wall of a close-up picture of a couple, sitting in a park somewhere in New York City. The woman was laughing, and the man held her outstretched hand. “The carefree expressions on their faces strike me with a feeling of wistfulness. Not an easy emotion to capture in an image. Who did this?” Zach pointed to the picture. 

“I did.” Willow felt warmth spreading across her cheeks. Oh, God. I’m blushing. 

“You’ve got talent—another surprising quality you possess. And this one?” He indicated another photo on the opposite wall. 

“Yes.” She chewed on the end of her pen, watching him. 

“Why aren’t you pursuing this as a career?” 

She lowered her pen. “I’ve always wanted to, but life got in the way.” She was determined to stay tight-lipped about her endeavors in New York and failed career as a fine arts photographer. 

“Don’t let adverse circumstances prevent you from following your dreams, Willow. No matter what happens externally, don’t lose touch with your inner calling.” He lifted the photo and placed it by the cash register. “I want to buy this, please.” 

Willow observed his facial expression, which bordered on flirtatious. “You don’t have to. Please don’t feel you need to buy one because we know each other. I won’t be offended.” 

“You see, your problem is you don’t believe in yourself. I want this because the photo is an exquisite piece of art. I have a perfect place for it in my house. Don’t argue.” He grinned and eyed her with both hands on his hips, then slapped his credit card onto the counter.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars -

I enjoyed this story. Willow's life had fallen apart so she went home to get back on her feet. I loved how she was willing to take on several jobs and began her journey toward her passion, photography, as a career. She overcame some bumps, got over her anger and low confidence regarding her work. She was definitely caring and loyal. Zach enjoyed his rock-star life, the women, the fame, but his journey included reconnecting with his father who was battling dementia. He fought so hard to keep his current situation but was glad to get close to his father. He was such a help to Willow, protective, and caring. The chemistry between Willow and Zach kept them guessing about the future for them.

Blitz: Until the Truth Comes Out by Melanie Summers with an excerpt and a giveaway

Until the Truth Comes Out: A Novel

by Melanie Summers

Release date: February 5th 2026

Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/246222060-until-the-truth-comes-out

Blurb:

A rockstar at the height of his fame.
A wife on the edge.
A secret that can’t stay hidden.
And a single night that will change everything.

In the spring of 1997, Zane McCreight and his wife, Sienna, appear to have it all—sold-out stadiums, magazine covers, and the perfect family. But behind the image, their marriage is fracturing, and a scandal is quietly spiraling out of control.

As Zane’s band prepares for a massive tribute concert in the desert—under the eerie glow of the Hale-Bopp comet—tensions rise. Lies are told. Loyalties are tested. And two women find themselves trapped between ambition, betrayal, and the impossible weight of motherhood.

Then, on the night of the show—while the world is watching the stage—the youngest two McCreight children vanish.

Emotionally complex and deeply character-driven, Until the Truth Comes Out is a gripping tale of fame, marriage, the devastating cost of keeping secrets—and the strength of the women left to carry it all.

Purchase:

Amazon: https://amzn.to/3NTasLl

Excerpt: 

The temptress. The harlot. The brazen slut. The homewrecker. The horrible friend. The gold-digger. She knew exactly what she was doing. She trapped him on purpose. It was her plan all along, the bitch.

Over the years, she’d said all these things herself, she was sure of it. She distinctly remembered in the 8th grade when her best friend, Heather’s boyfriend, Trent, kissed Maureen R. behind the Circle K. With tongue. She threw every label at her. The ones she knew at the time, anyway. Claudia wasn’t exactly sophisticated back then. She still wasn’t. 

But she certainly didn’t intend to become any of these things, and only some of them were true. She was the worst sort of friend, but she didn’t trap him on purpose. But then again, maybe she did. Whether she was an actual homewrecker or not remained to be seen. 

She leaned her head against the white shabby chic sofa, her right arm sore from the weight of her newborn son’s head, and her eyes sore from hours in front of the TV. It was late evening and other than the flickering from the episode of Suddenly Susan playing, the only other light came from the arc floor lamp behind her sofa. The sound was turned down so low she could barely hear what Brooke Shields was saying. But the plot didn’t matter. Only picking up the phone when he called.

She’d find out any minute. Or maybe months from now, because it could take a long time for the dust to settle. It was all in Sienna’s hands now. Hers and Zane’s. Provided he had told her already. A twisted part of her kept playing out a fantasy that he wouldn’t call, but would show up on the doorstep of her cozy Spanish-style bungalow instead. He’d tell her his marriage was over, and Sienna’s actually happy about it because it turns out she fell out of love with him a long time ago, only she didn’t have the heart to say it. They were going to divorce amicably, and he was there to stay. For some reason in her fantasy, it was pouring rain and he was drenched (because it would be more dramatic that way). They’d open a bottle of wine, order Chinese food and watch Elliot sleep, marveling at the fact that everything was already sorted out and tied up with a neat, little bow. Isn’t it amazing? Yes. Clearly, it was meant to be. 

Glancing at the clock on the thick dark wood mantel, she saw it was quarter to ten, which meant it had been just over thirteen hours since she had gotten the results from Dean. Claudia already knew who the father was, but when you’re dealing with a man like Zane, nothing is done in isolation. There was a team of handlers in the background, keeping him going, clearing paths, protecting him.

AUTHOR BIO:

Melanie Summers also writes steamy romance as MJ Summers.

Melanie made a name for herself with her debut novel, Break in Two, a contemporary romance that cracked the Top 10 Paid on Amazon in both the UK and Canada, and the top 50 Paid in the USA. Her highly acclaimed Full Hearts Series was picked up by both Piatkus Entice (a division of Hachette UK) and HarperCollins Canada. Her first three books have been translated into Czech and Slovak by EuroMedia. Since 2013, she has written and published three novellas, and eight novels (of which seven have been published). She has sold over a quarter of a million books around the globe.

In her previous life (i.e. before having children), Melanie got her Bachelor of Science from the University of Alberta, then went on to work in the soul-sucking customer service industry for a large cellular network provider that shall remain nameless (unless you write her personally - then she'll dish). On her days off, she took courses and studied to become a Chartered Mediator. That designation landed her a job at the R.C.M.P. as the Alternative Dispute Resolution Coordinator for 'K' Division. Having had enough of mediating arguments between gun-toting police officers, she decided it was much safer to have children so she could continue her study of conflict in a weapon-free environment (and one which doesn't require makeup and/or nylons).

Melanie resides in Edmonton with her husband, three young children, and their adorable but neurotic one-eyed dog. When she's not writing novels, Melanie loves reading (obviously), snuggling up on the couch with her family for movie night (which would not be complete without lots of popcorn and milkshakes), and long walks in the woods near her house. She also spends a lot more time thinking about doing yoga than actually doing yoga, which is why most of her photos are taken 'from above'. She also loves shutting down restaurants with her girlfriends. Well, not literally shutting them down, like calling the health inspector or something--more like just staying until they turn the lights off.

She is represented by Suzanne Brandreth of The Cooke Agency International.

Audiobook Review: Wildfire (In Vino Veritas #1) by Garrett Leigh, narrators Tim Paige and Dan Calley

 

Blurb: 

A gorgeous new sexual awakening romance with sizzling first times, snarky British banter, and off-the-charts chemistry.

Life doesn’t always pan out as you expect. When it explodes in my face, literally, an old friend offers me a place to heal and a job renovating the kitchen of Burlington’s coolest wine bar.

V&V is a chill fest. Living above it should be a blast. But I’m not built to be a social butterfly. Not anymore. I’m a damaged man.

And I’m not its target clientele.

At least, I think I’m not until I come face to face with the most beautiful human I’ve ever seen. Joss is the new chef and my roommate. He has hair like spun gold and it’s as pretty as the rest of him. Crystal blue eyes. Megawatt smile.

I can’t stop staring. Or thinking about him. He chases my nightmares away. And when he spots my crush a mile off, his solution to our chemical attraction blows my mind.

An experiment of sorts. Science. Is this sexual exploration or sex education?

Either way, Joss is only here for the summer. He’s leaving.

I can’t fall in love with him.

I can’t.

Shame my foolish heart never got the memo.

WILDFIRE is a heartfelt MM friends-to-lovers, hurt/comfort romance in the True North world, with a brooding lumbersexual, a wild-hearted chef, sweet angst and all the Vermont food. Content warning: contains mentions of depression, ADHD, suicidal ideation, and PTSD recovery.

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 

4 1/2 stars. I enjoyed this story. Joss, who never stayed anywhere long enough to develop a true relationship, and Kai/Fletcher, who never considered falling in love with a man, were a fun couple to follow into a strong relationship beyond friendship/roommates. Kai was very open to experimenting and it opened up his world to true love. Joss found a reason to stay in one place. They were entertaining despite the flare ups of their mental issues to overcome. I loved both and enjoyed the secondary characters as well.
The narration by Tim Paige and Dan Calley gave the story more life and character. They did a great job.

This is my unsolicited review.

Ebook Review: Property of Pyro (Kings of Anarchy MC: Virginia #2) by E.C. Land

 

Blurb: 

When you play with fire, you’re bound to get burned.
Pyro
I can’t resist the allure of the flames. Fire is in my blood. The heat and the smoke raised me. Now, I wield them for my club. You want to get between me and my brothers? Mess with my club? Think again.
Rumor has it she carries the mark of the mate, but trouble is right on her heels.
I don’t care who or what she’s running from. My club comes first. Always.
There’s just one problem: my true nature won’t let me reject the one who is meant to be mine.
So I can try to resist the fiery passion growing between us, but in the end, we’ll both be consumed in the blaze.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

I was swept up from the beginning. Carina had to come home for family. I did admire her for wanting to keep her past to herself, but it did make her into a runner. Back with family, you could see how much she actually missed it but still wanted to do her job and keep her secrets. Her first glimpse of Pyro spurred her on to run sooner, knowing that something was there. Pyro did not believe that he could find his mate, But I loved how he went with saving her life without too much hesitance. He took care of her in more ways than one. The danger coming for Carina also came for Pyro, and I enjoyed how the entire Brotherhood and family came together to work it out. Well worth the read.

I received an ARC through 1852Media, and this is my unsolicited review.

Audiobook Release: Playing the Field (Los Angeles Devils #1) by Stacy Travis, narrators Hannah Chiclana and Aaron Donahue

Playing the Field by Stacy Travis is now live in audio!

Narrated by: Hannah Chiclana & Aaron Donahue

A delicious Forced proximity, Brother’s Best Friend, Sports romance by bestselling author, Stacy Travis.

I didn’t expect my first week with the Devils soccer team to involve saving a career.

But when the team’s hot-headed center back—aka my brother’s best friend, Hunter Reyes—blows up in front of management, it’s my job as the head Data Analyst to keep him on the field.

That’s as close as I plan on getting to the gorgeous, bad-boy soccer god until he shows up at the house I’m temporarily sharing with my brother, needing a place to stay.

Hunter is the epitome of the grumpy, ridiculously muscular, and infuriatingly confident man fans love. I’m the girl who color-codes data sets and stress-bakes muffins. We are opposites in every way. We shouldn’t share the same Wi-Fi, let alone an address.

But late nights with spreadsheets turn into late nights sharing takeout.

Eye rolls turn into inside jokes. And every time his hand brushes mine, I swear the air between us crackles like lightning before a storm.

But he’s my brother’s best friend. A player on the team I work for. And completely, absolutely not my type. Too bad my heart can’t compute our differences.

Best friend’s sister. Forced proximity. Workplace sparks. And a slow-burn attraction that refuses to stay buried.
