The Beast & His Beauty

 

THE BEAST & HIS BEAUTY

Willow Winters

Release Date: August 26

They don’t go to the brick wall.  No one in the village does.  Ever since I was a little girl, everyone has warned me not to go or even to look at it.  And if you happen to find yourself close to the wall, run as fast and as far away as you can.  The magic from the beast creeps beyond the wall, but not by much.

No one who values their life approaches the enchanted area, let alone searches out the gate.  Everyone is sure not to provoke the enchanted area.  Those who do, don’t come back to tell their tales.

The magic is dark.  And it’s all from the beast.

FOR THE LAST 19 YEARS OF MY LIFE, I’ve heard the tales and been warned to stay away.  The thing is though, I’m not a very good listener.  I got lost in the magic.  He scented me.  He claimed me with a bite on my neck.  And I ran.  Quickly and with a new terror racing in my heart.

I swore I would never return.  I would not trust the magic and allow it to entrance me again.  I would not risk being caught in the hands of the Beast again.  

But that was months ago and I miss the magic.  Not only that, but I dream of the beast.  It’s not a dream I’d admit to out loud, but it’s a dream I’d like to see come true.

Where you can find it!

This book was so deliciously spicy! Elle and The Prince had a fantastic connection and the beast aspect was so yum! Great story that was well written and beautifully smutty. 





Meet Willow Winters:

I started writing after having my little girl, Evie, December of 2015. All during my pregnancy with her I read. I only wanted to read romance novels and I read everything I could get my hands on. I would read a book a day — sometimes two. In January I was staying up late with her and just thinking of all these stories. They came to me constantly. I finally sat down and just started writing. I always wanted to do it so I figured, why not?

I never thought I would reach this point of success to be honest. It’s insane to me that I have connected with so many readers.

And I love each and every one of them for all of their support. I’ll be honest, some days are HARD. I have my littles during the day and I write at night. Some days are just simply exhausting and then I hear from a reader and it motivates me to push through and keep writing.  I couldn’t be more grateful for this wonderful career.

THE BOSS + THE MAID = CHEMISTRY

 


THE BOSS + THE MAID = CHEMISTRY

Louise Bay

Release Date: August 8

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

  

A grumpy. reclusive New York billionaire meets his match in the maid who makes his

bed (in more ways than one).

When an older guy with a dirty grin and an expensive suit flirts with me from the next

barstool, I don’t realize I’m about to have a one-night stand with the man I desperately want

to work for.

After a night that leaves my world (and body) shaken, I start my summer job housekeeping in

a five-star hotel even though I’m determined to kickstart my career in tech. As I dust and

polish the Park Suite, in walks Mr. Dirty Grin—now with an icy glare.

Why is the man from last night who was so charming (and good with his tongue) so furious

this morning? As I piece together the puzzle, I discover the guest in the Park Suite is none

other than Ben Fort, the reclusive tech mogul I want to work for.

Ben has kept his identity hidden for years and he wants to know how I figured him out

overnight.

As he questions me, I don’t waste time telling him he’s a (super-hot) grump who needs to

lighten up—and give me a job.

I don’t want to sleep my way to the top, and he doesn’t trust me. But neither of us can resist

the sizzling sparks that fly every time I fluff his pillows.

My thoughts: I had so much fun reading Ben and Efa's story! I read her sister's story a while back and was happy she got her own. The title is true because these two definitely had chemistry. The story was witty and steamy

The Secret Hook-Up

 



Title: The Secret Hook-Up
Author: Pippa Grant
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Second Chance/Secret Fling/Auction
Release Date: August 1, 2024


BLURB

You’d think nearly dying trying to get out of a too-tight gown in a dressing room and being saved by a strong, competent man was a good thing.

Not so much, though, when that strong, competent man is your ex. Your secret ex.

And the reason you need a gown is because you’re part of a charity auction.

The charity auction where he gets into a bidding war to win you.

And now, because you’re one of few female coaches in professional baseball, and he’s the captain of the local professional hockey team, and he paid a ridiculous sum of money for you…

The entire city is shipping you. You can’t leave your apartment without getting a knowing wink from strangers. Your bosses want to use the publicity to have you jointly launch a new community outreach program.

That’s bad enough. It truly is.

But even worse?

Duncan Lavoie, the green-eyed, curly-haired, dimple-cheeked, hot as lava hockey player wants a second chance. And he’ll play dirty to get it.

The Secret Hook-Up is a laugh-out-loud romcom featuring the hot-as-sin hockey captain of the Copper Valley Thrusters, the Copper Valley Fireballs’ lady baseball coach he never got over, and a misbehaving formal gown. It stands alone and comes complete with a happily-ever-after.






This book was another great read by Pippa Grant. It has humor, awkward situations, and lots of wit. I really enjoyed this story.

Until It Was Love

 




Title: Until It Was Love
A Complicated Situationship RomCom
Author: Pippa Grant
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Teammate's Sister, Enemies to Lovers
Accidentally Dating, Grumpy/Sunshine
Release Date: April 11, 2024


BLURB

There are a million reasons why I shouldn’t agree to a date with Fletcher Huxley.

He’s a growly-faced, stubborn-streaked, international rugby legend trying to revive his flailing career in the US after being canned by his team overseas.

While he might have the good kind of thunder thighs, intriguing tattoos, and a booty of steel, he also holds the top position on my very short nemesis list thanks to what happened the first time we met.

Plus, his mustache is as terrible as the reason he’s picked me to be the woman he wants to date.

But he has one big checkmark in the why this date is a good idea column: he’s my brother’s new teammate.

They already hate each other.

And my brother has made an unfortunate habit of interfering with my love life recently.

So a revenge date with Fletcher to make my brother mad? While letting Fletcher think this date is merely for the good of the team?

Yep.

I’m in.

I’m moving to London for work in a month. And it’s just one date. What could possibly go wrong?

Until It Was Love is a banter-tastic romcom featuring an overgrown snack of a man with a soft spot for his purse dog, a normally optimistic life coach trying to live her best life, a mustache catastrophe, and one little tiny fainting spell. It stands alone and comes complete with a swoony happily ever after that will leave your heart in a happy puddle of joy.

My thoughts: I loved reading Fletcher and Goldie's story! This enemies to lovers story had a slow burn turning from enemies to friends and ultimately lovers. There was definitely plenty of humor and I now want all the secondary characters stories. It was a fun read and one I will revisit again.

Unexpected fatherhood, a newborn daughter and a nanny in the next bedroom he can't stop fantasizing about.

When a one-night stand announces I just became a father to a baby girl, my world is thrown into turmoil.

My choice: single fatherhood or sign adoption papers.

The decision is easy.

Within hours, I'm on a plane to collect my daughter.

I’m in over my head. I barely know one end of a baby from the other. Luckily, I have the perfect plan. I’ll hire live-in help, have limited involvement with the kid, and keep my life just the same as it’s always been.

I finally find a nanny who lives up to my exacting standards. But the only problem is, every time I look at her, the future I thought I wanted starts to crumble.

Nothing in my life is going according to plan… and the wriggling poo machine in my arms is unexpectedly worming her way into my heart.

Life was ordered and logical until I got myself two roommates and started falling in love with both of them.

A standalone romance.

My thoughts: I loved watching Dax bloom from a workaholic bachelor to a loving single father. He knew that he couldn't allow his daughter to be raised by strangers from the moment he found out about her. He wanted the best for her and Eira was the one that helped him make the transition to fatherhood. Eira was a great nanny and a loving sister. These two worked really well together and I loved watching them fall in love.

The Bride's Runaway Billionaire

 




Title: The Bride's Runaway Billionaire
Series: Three BFFs and a Wedding #3
Author: Pippa Grant
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Runaway Bride/Oops Baby/Small Town
Single Mom/Second Chance/Celebrity Hero
Release Date: January 18, 2024


BLURB

Being the star of the world’s most viral runaway bride video wasn’t how I envisioned my future when I woke up on my wedding morning, but here we are.

With me hiding from the world in Fiji where I’m now honeymooning solo.

And where I just tripped over my number one celebrity crush, hungover and sleeping on my little porch.

Turns out Jonas Rutherford, Razzle Dazzle movie star and heir to the entertainment conglomerate’s billions, is having his own relationship issues and is here hiding too after details of his scandalous divorce went public.

I didn’t think inviting him in for a hangover cure would lead to us getting friendly. And friendlier. And then—okay, yes.

I slept with him. Who can blame a girl? When you’re suddenly unexpectedly single and the number one guy on your freebie list is available, you leap.

But when I wake up the next morning, I discover I’m not the only runaway in my life, because he’s just ghosted me.

It’s fine. I’m fine. Neither one of us is in a position to start an actual relationship.

But three years later?

When he crashes my brother’s wedding?

Where the son that he’s just discovered he has is serving as ring bearer?

Life was a lot easier when I was just a runaway bride.

The Bride’s Runaway Billionaire is a deliciously juicy and utterly swoony romcom featuring a jaded optimist who’s had enough of the limelight, a happy-go-lucky celebrity whose world has been upside down since that fling after his divorce, the most adorable two-year-old on the planet, and a chicken with an attitude. While this book stands alone, you won’t go wrong to read The Worst Wedding Date, The Gossip and the Grump, and The Last Eligible Billionaire first.

My thoughts: 
Emma’s story gave me all the feels and had me laughing out loud repeatedly. Her hero was a great guy who had his stumbling moments and was adorably awkward at times. It was also fun to see past characters that I wasn’t expecting to see in this story. There are many things about Pippa Grant’s worlds that make these stories so amazing and this one had them all, including adorable animals with huge personalities. I won’t share who Emma’s hero is, but I definitely think this book is worth reading at least once but probably more than that.
