Synopsis:
A painfully awkward love story.

Incomprehensibly awkward Elizabeth Wilde is desperate for love. Connection. Intimacy. After a lifetime of romantic failures, the twenty-one-year-old gamer realizes she needs help. Professional help. She needs…

A sex tutor.

The devastatingly hot jock Austin Jacobs is just the man for the job. As the reigning campus sex god, he has the playboy act down pat. But underneath those six-pack abs beats a broken heart. He doesn’t trust people and he sure as hell doesn’t believe in love.

The odd couple strike a deal. Four weeks of ‘tutoring’ for five thousand dollars.

When Austin coaxes Elizabeth out from behind her computer screen, the attraction they feel is undeniable. They’re both a little broken, but somehow their jagged edges fit. And when their world comes tumbling down on top of them, they each have to decide if this weird thing called love is worth fighting for.

My Review:

So  I was lucky enough to get to read this earlier this year as a beta reader/critique partner, and when I saw that it was getting published I immediately had to sign up and read the finished story.  And just like when I read it before, I loved it. The characters, the banter, the emotion, all of it was great.

And it wasn't just those things, I loved the sexy times as well!  I loved the main character Elizabeth, I really could connect with her on the nerdiness and awkwardness.  And then there's Austin, sigh.  I just really would like an Austin of my own.  Sexy, smart, funny, sweet, and a good cook!  Not sure what else is needed!  I liked that for the most part, even when one did something to the other one that was rude or something, the way they went about figuring things out wasn't way dramatic.  It totally made sense. Although there was a time or two I'd have walked away from Austin.  I was totally with Elizabeth when she would call him an ass.  He totally deserved it. They came up with great nicknames, Goose and Maverick.  

Finally, the epilogue was one of the best I've read to a story in a long time.  It wasn't too much, and it fit the whole story and characters perfectly.  I really liked this book a lot, and can't wait to read more by the author!  Hoping the next book will be about Jessie, or Barbie, as Elizabeth first called her.  

 

About Amelia Kingston:

Amelia Kingston is many things, the most interesting of which are probably California girl, writer, traveler, and dog mom. She survives on chocolate, coffee, wine, and sarcasm. Not necessarily in that order.

She’s been blessed with a patient husband who’s embraced her nomad ways and traveled with her to over 30 countries across 5 continents (I’m coming for you next, Antarctica!). She’s also been cursed with an impatient (although admittedly adorable) terrier who pouts when her dinner is 5 minutes late.
She writes about strong, stubborn, flawed women and the men who can't help but love them. Her irreverent books aim to be silly and fun with the occasional storm cloud to remind us to appreciate the sunny days. As a hopeless romantic, her favorite stories are the ones that remind us all that while love is rarely perfect, it’s always worth chasing.

Release Blitz: Avoiding Temptation (Bro Code Series #1) by Rachek Van Dyken

Avoiding Temptation, an all new contemporary romance in the Bro Code series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken, is LIVE!

I hit on her first.

Realized she was my best friend Finn's little sister second.

And got a bloody nose third — compliments of Finn after he watched me nearly score with the new underclassman.

After all I did have a reputation on campus, word on the street was that a girl could orgasm within one minute just watching me eat Lucky Charms.

You can't make this stuff up — even though it was at least four minutes and included outside circumstances. Ahem, I digress.

Point is, not only did I earn the attention of the worst sort of girl for me — my best friend's only sibling — but now she's out to seduce me.

Me! One of the most famous Pleasure Ponies of them all!

I can't shower — she follows me to the bathroom. Literally.

I can't sleep — Lucky me, she lives in the same dorm.

And I can't focus on anything except for her taunting eyes every single time something goes her way.

I want her, but I don't want her to know I want her, and I definitely don't want to die before graduation, which is looking more and more likely considering we can't keep our hands off each other.

Something's gotta give, and I have an inkling I should probably start writing my eulogy now because that something is probably going to be me.

Release Blitz: Seducing Mrs. Robinson by Rachel Van Dyken

Seducing Mrs. Robinson, an all new contemporary romance by #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken, is LIVE!

We've all been there, some more than others, you know what I'm talking about, where you have the hots for the new business teacher.

I was one hundred percent that guy. I shamelessly flirted with her my senior year, only earning her irritation more and more. On graduation, I stood up to her husband after he got violent, and I'll never forget the look in her eyes when she told me it wasn't my place.

Fast forward to my senior year of college and what do you know, the new adjunct professor is the one and only Mrs. Robinson, she's eight years older than me and smoking hot. Did I mention divorced?

She looks at me like I'm trouble, and I'm only happy to deliver on that promise. I'm going to show her how a real man treats a woman and use every weapon in my Pleasure Pony arsenal to do it.

Go big or go home.

I write in different locations, whatever inspires me; however I do a lot of writing at my desk, outside, and at our breakfast table.

3.  What are your favorite romantic movies, books, tv shows?  Do you have an all-time favorite romantic couple?

Exclusive Excerpt:

“Well, Mav.” I’m trying to annoy him, but secretly I like the idea that it’s something only I call him. Maverick. It suits him. “I made us a schedule, actually.” My voice has more uncertainty in it than I was hoping. I hand him the carefully thought-out schedule I crafted over the past few months.

“Of course you made a schedule,” he quips with a smirk. His smile only grows as he reads. “You made us a sex syllabus, a sex-abus.”

I groan. He continues undaunted.

“Four weeks, four topics. Looks like we round a base a week. This week’s kissing. Next week is touching, groping, fondling. Then, oral. Giving and receiving. Last week we hit a few home runs,” he offers.  

Sex with Austin.

I get lost in my thoughts of what these next four weeks are going to be like. My body flushes and I cross my legs, fighting the building warmth between my thighs. It’s not like I haven’t pictured all this before, but now I’m starting to realize it’s actually going to happen.  

You are going to lose your virginity to Austin Jacobs!

“You seriously think we need a whole week dedicated to kissing?” he challenges.

“It’s important to build foundational knowledge in a new subject before advancing to more challenging material.”  

Oh my God, you’re such a nerd.

“Come here.” He saunters around the kitchen island and I stand up to meet him. He steps right into my body. I start to lean back, but he grabs my hands and puts them around his neck. The gesture highlights our height difference. I can barely reach without him having to bend down.

His fingers slide over the delicate skin of my forearms and down my sides, causing an effervescent tingle across my whole body. He wraps his arms around my waist, pulling me into him firmly. I’m so small in his embrace. It makes me feel dainty and weirdly feminine.

“Kiss me,” he demands.

“Now?” I swallow roughly.

“Now would be good.”

I don’t do anything.

I just stand there.  

Kiss him!  

Just do it!  

He’s right here and he is asking you to do it!

My heart races, my stomach flutters. My throat gets tight. My mouth goes dry. I spiral into panic. Those beautiful blue eyes are bearing down on me expectantly, burning into me. I close my eyes, count to three in my head, and do it. I push forward on my tiptoes and quickly peck him on the lips. Peck is a generous term for the limp-lipped travesty that is my first attempt at a kiss.

“There,” I declare in placid triumph.

“Damn, I must be a horrible teacher. Is that what I showed you last night?” he says in mock disappointment.

I look down at his chest and shake my head, feeling like a kid who got caught sneaking candy before dinner.

“How did I kiss you last night?” It isn’t a rhetorical question. He wants me to answer.

“Deep,” I say without thinking. “A-And long,” I add with a shaky breath and a blush. That’s the only way to describe his kiss. Other than being simply amazing.

“Hey.” He lifts my chin up so our eyes meet again. “I know you’re nervous, but you shouldn’t be. This isn’t a big deal. I know you can do this.” Great, now Austin’s giving me a pep talk. Hello, Self-esteem. I’d like you to meet All Time Low. This is a whole new level of embarrassing.

Closing my eyes, I try to think back to his kiss last night. I take a deep breath and this time I pull him down to me. He leans down easily. I run through the checklist I made last night. I brush my lips gently across his as I tilt my head to the side. I place my lips on his, teasing his bottom lip with my tongue lightly.

“Open your lips,” I whisper against him.

“Yes, boss,” he quips. I stifle an annoyed sigh and slide my tongue into his mouth. He lets out a soft moan as his hands slide down to my butt.  

Holy shit! You just made Austin Jacobs moan!

Release Date:  October 17th, 2019

My rating:  5 stars

Synopsis: 

Dear Jerk Across the Street, sorry for accidentally walking in on you and catching an eyeful of your—equipment. And hard pass on the open invitation to join you in the shower “anytime”, A-hole.

That’s the note I should’ve written. Instead I sent a pleasant and apologetic version.

Had I known Phoenix “Nix” Russo would’ve been the neighbor from hell, I’d have told him right where he could shove my words.

Nix is the big man on campus with everyone lined up at his games to make sure he knows it. Sure, he’s got piercing blue eyes, abs that don’t quit and a smile that could set fire to a set of panties from a hundred yards away, but he’s also the biggest pain in my ass.

Dear Pink-Haired Menace, learn how to take a joke and stop being such a kill-joy...

Elle Masterson called the cops on one of my parties—again. My sweet talking usually gets me out of trouble, but this time it got me into a nice pair of silver handcuffs. Now I’m on a reputation rehab tour with a stop at a spring break community service project.

Guess who’s my new boss?

Now we’re shoulder to shoulder, sweaty, tired and…she’s not anything like I expected. There might just be a heart under that hardass exterior. She’s invading my dreams and I can’t shake the feeling she’s the key to unlocking a piece of me that I’ve hidden away.

It’s only a matter of time until she finds out why I’m really here.

Maybe I can break through her walls and into her heart before that happens...one screw at a time.

My Review:

I really, really, really loved the first book in this series, so I was very excited for this one.  And this was one I could barely put down.  But of course there were so many things going on when I got the chance to finally pick it up and read, that I had to.  What I loved though, was that it took no time to dive right back into the story when I was able to get back to it.  I enjoyed getting back to the characters I'd met and fell in love with in The Perfect First, and there were a few that I now am even more excited to hopefully see them get their own stories.  I felt that Elle did totally overreact in a lot of the situations that happened, but it was definitely easy to see with her background experiences with other guys why she did that.  But I like how Nix handled it.  Her drama didn't lead him to add more unnecessary drama, and to me, it was realistic how he handled each of her crazy times. His reactions to what normally would turn into the drama just for drama's sake in a story are what made my wavering between 4.5 and 5 stars keep it bumped up to a full 5 stars.  And I like that she would apologize when she realized she needed to.  I'm really becoming a huge fan of this author, and as I mentioned before, can't wait for more stories in this world.  I'm especially excited to see Jules and Berk's story in hopefully the next one!

Blog Tour Author Interview: Cross Crease (On the Edge #3) by Elizabeth Hartey

Book info:
Title:   Cross Crease
Author:  Elizabeth Hartey
Series:  On the Edge #3
Published by: Limitless Publishing
Publication date: August 20th 2019
Genres: Adult, New Adult, Contemporary, Romance, Sports

Synopsis:

Heaven

I was fourteen the first time I laid eyes on the smoking hot, silver-eyed, goalie. Damon Wolfe was the most gorgeous boy I’d ever seen. All it took was one glance, one sentence and my heart was his. But I was too young and he was too broken.

Seven years later, he’s the biggest off the ice player in the NHL and I’m his virginal best friend.

Of course, I have the perfect solution to that particular problem, but Damon keeps on refusing to be the one to vanquish my chastity. He claims he doesn’t want to ruin our friendship, that he’s not good enough for me. Yet, somehow his eyes say something different whenever he looks at me.

Just one night, that’s all I’m asking.

What’s the worst that can happen?

Wolfe

I was mesmerized by Heaven Andersen the first time I looked into her sparkling turquoise eyes. She was a teenage kid with a mouth full of braces and bruised knees, but she was the most beautiful girl I’d ever seen—like a fairy-tale princess. With one look, she sent all my inner demons running. But she was just a kid and I was too damaged.

Seven years later, she’s my best friend. My best friend with a single-minded mission—to get laid.

She wants me to take her virginity and teach her about sex. But she’s an off-limits, flawless diamond girl, and so far out of the realm of anything my blackened heart is looking for or deserves it’s laughable.

So, how come I’m not laughing? How come my best friend is the first thing I think about in the morning and last thing I think about at night? More importantly, what am I going to do to protect her—from me?

Goodreads / Amazon

Author Interview:

1.     What does your writing process look like?

I am most definitely a seat of my pantser. I have no idea where my story is going other than knowing there will be a sweet HEA. I have an idea of a story bouncing around in my head keeping me awake at night and distracting me during the day until I sit down to write it. Then I just let the characters take me where they want to go. Sometimes we don’t always agree, which is why some books take longer than others to write. J

2.     Do you edit as you go or wait until you’re finished? How many times do you go over it?

I edit and edit and edit and edit as I go. If it’s been a few days since I’ve had a chance to get back to writing I reread the whole thing up to where I left off before I start writing again. Many times, while in bed, or in the shower or wherever, I’ll get an innate flash that tells me I did a scene wrong or the character said or did the wrong thing. So, I go in and rewrite it.  I may reread a manuscript a zillion times before I send it to an editor. And even after all that a good editor will always find something that needs to be corrected.

3.    Are you part of a writers group that gets together and helps each other with their writing?

Sadly, I’m not part of a writer’s group that gets together and helps each other out. I wish I was. There is nothing more supportive to its members than the writing community. I live in a very small community and don’t have access to any local writing groups. However, social media sites like Twitter, Instagram and Facebook have awesome writing communities.  I’ve made some amazing writer friends and we all support each other every way we can through these sites. Some authors will even take the time to Beta read your manuscript and give you suggestions or cheer you on when you’re feeling insecure about your writing. It’s a wonderful group to be part of and I’m so happy I’ve found them.

4.     What tips do you have for aspiring writers? Being a relatively new published author compared to some authors out there I wouldn’t presume to have the wisdom to guide new aspiring writers. However, I will say this. If you love to write don’t let anyone discourage you. Writing is one of the most wonderful yet difficult things I’ve ever done. Opinions on writing styles as are diverse as there are people reading your work. I sent out hundreds of letters before I found the right publisher for my books. Some people will love your writing some will hate it. The important thing is you love writing it and you love the final product. Just keep doing what you love and you’ll eventually connect with the right people to get your book out in the world.

5.     What are you favorites?

My preferences in book genres and authors are fairly diverse. I’m all about the classics. I have a deep love for the English classics and writers like Charles Dickens, Emily and Charlotte Bronte, Jane Austin to name a few. I also love American writers Tennessee Williams, Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain, Louisa May Alcott. I could go on and on. As far as contemporary writers, it’s all about romance for me, both contemporary and historical. L.J Shen, Max Monroe, Helena Hunting, Lauren Blakely. This list is also never-ending. My favorite historical romance writers are Elizabeth Hoyt and Julia Quinn. Hoyt’s Maiden Lane series and Quinn’s Bridgerton series are not to be missed if you love romance.

As far as movies and TV go, again, I’m all about the classics. Anything made between 1939 and 1965 is for me. My favorite TV channels are Turner Classic Movies and Masterpiece Classics on PBS. To throw out a few movie titles there’s Gone With the Wind, Cat On a Hot Tin Roof, Citizen Kane, Rebel Without a Cause, Splendor In the Grass, Sterile Cuckoo, anything from Alfred Hitchcock. Again, the list is unending. As far as current TV shows. I love period pieces like Downton Abbey, Poldark, Upstairs Downstairs, The Crown, Victoria, The Handmade’s Tale (although that would be classified more contemporary or futuristic than period.) And of course, who doesn’t love and miss Game of Thrones?

I also have a pretty diverse music list. I’m not ashamed to admit I love Pop artists like Shawn Mendes, Charlie Puth, One Direction, Seven Seconds of Summer and Julia Michaels. Jason Mraz, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith and James Arthur are inspirations to my writing, I’m also a classics lover when it comes to music, Grateful Dead, Jethro Tull, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, The Beatles, Sly and the Family Stone, Joe Cocker, Richie Havens, Melanie. I love me some good old country music too. Garth Brooks is the king. But I also adore Martina McBride, Zac Brown Band, Little Big Town, Rascal Flatts, Florida Georgia Line, Miranda Lambert. And I’m also a lover of Broadway musicals. Those composers and lyricists are nothing short of gifts from God. Gosh, I don’t know how people pick favorites in music there’s a world of beautiful sounds out there. How do you pick just one?

As far as favorite writing snacks. I can’t really eat anything when the muse hits. I have to stay focused. Food is a distraction. Although, I will admit a good cup of coffee or glass or two of wine has found their way onto my desk many times.

Author Bio:

As a lover of the northeast US, my husband and I moved to the Poconos several years ago to open a Chiropractic Clinic. Four children and a menagerie of animals later, I have finally found time to fulfill my lifelong dream of writing novels. A dreamer at heart, romance is---of course---the genre I spend most of my time writing and reading into the wee hours of the morning. However, if it's a good book, any genre can keep me immersed in the story for hours.

When I'm not juggling work responsibilities and writing, I enjoy baking, knitting, traveling, hiking the beautiful hills and woods around my home and spending time with my family.
