Then sudden loss of her sister forces her to get her shit together. She begs him for a job and things between them quickly start to shift. The passion burning between them is undeniable but there are secrets all around them that could break their fragile bond.

EARLY REVIEWS

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – “I completely wrapped myself up in this story from the first page. I loved how Alexander and Livy really challenged and questioned their chemistry because it was so intense. Definitely a slow burn considering what it took for them to finally come together but that’s also when their relationship was truly tested since there was so many hidden truths.” – Ariel, Goodreads Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – “The beginning of the book left me weeping, what a way to connect with a character!” – Erin’s Book World, Goodreads Review

Learning to Live by Kira Adams

Book Review Virginia Lee Blog



Title: Learning to Live
An Enemy-to-Lovers Ugly Cry
Series: Infinite Love #1
Author: Kira Adams
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: February 13, 2021


BLURB

Ciera
All I wanted was to be able to make it through my senior year. I didn’t need the stares, the jokes, or the bullies. I thought I could do it all on my own, but I was wrong. He filled my veins like a poison, the kind you can’t run from. Harsh and uncaring, he was broken, but somewhere along the way he seeped into my pores. There was no way out, so that left me with one choice: to open his eyes to the beauty around him—to help him live.

Topher
She wasn’t on my agenda; it was fate’s cruel way of telling me I needed to get my shit together. To be fair, my head was so far up my ass, I’m not sure how we extracted it. I knew the power I held over my peers, and I exuded it daily. I could have had any girl I wanted at the snap of my fingers, and yet I found myself fantasizing about her—someone so far off my radar it wasn’t even funny. She helped me understand that sometimes you need to let go to really live. Sometimes being alive means taking risks.

Learning to Live is the first book in the Infinite Love series.


Author Note: This is the same book that initially made its rounds back in 2015 and garnered over 175 reviews. With new shiny editing, formatting, cover design, and even scenes I’m hoping it will reach the audience I know it can!

EXCERPT

Topher

I hold her silently until her breathing evens out, and her tears have long since dried up. The moon is illuminating the sky, and the sound of crickets and wind takes over our surroundings. Slowly, I begin to release her. I trace my fingers across her jawline gently. “You want to talk about it?”
She leans into my fingers for mere seconds before turning her face away from mine, averting her gaze. “Can you take me home?”
I simply nod.
We climb back into the car, and the air has changed between us.
I don’t know what it is about this girl, but seeing her hurt kills me. I want to beat up whoever made her cry, but she isn’t talking.
I glance over at her in the darkened car, taking in her delicate features…her small ears, her long eyelashes, her cute nose. It’s like I’m seeing her for the first time. Ciera is not my type. She’s never been, but then again, neither was Sophia. Maybe I don’t even know my type.

The Grace Trilogy by Autumn Grey

Book Review Virginia Lee Blog
Titles: Desolate ~ Disgraceful ~ Absolution
Series: Grace Trilogy
Author: Autumn Grey
Genre: Mature YA/Coming of Age Romance
Release Date: Available NOW
Cover Design: Okay Creations
Absolution Photographer: Lindee Robinson Photography




Good and bad. Dark and light. Right and wrong. Everything blurs together in the war that rages inside my head.

I had it all figured out: finish high school, attend seminary, and finally answer my calling. Becoming a priest was all I ever wanted.

Until I wanted her.

Grace Miller.

The girl who was always out of my reach. The one who still steals my breath with just a look. I didn’t know she would become my temptation and vice, and quite possibly, my ruin.

With a crossroads before me and my head a battlefield, can I choose sides without losing a part of who I am?






I knew it was wrong, but I did it anyway. I fell for him.

Hard.

His half smiles and those blue eyes that pulled me deeper, threatening to drown me. But he was never mine to keep. Like all good and rare things, it came to an end. And I erected a wall around my heart to prevent suffering that pain again.

Dimples and gray eyes changed all that. He smashed through my defenses and stole what was left of my heart.

Until my past returns.

Now my heart is a war zone, past and present battling for my forever.

They say lightning doesn’t strike the same place twice. I have the burns to prove that isn’t true.

Who knew falling in love could hurt so much?






We made mistakes and betrayed our hearts. And in the end, everything went up in flames. Walking away from the devastation isn’t an option.

Not when I’m at the center of it all.

Three hearts hang in the balance. A choice must be made. Keep one and let one go.

No matter what I decide, someone is getting burned. There’s no winning this battle. No one ever said love is easy. But I never knew it would be this hard.

Love can be a poison, and sometimes, it’s the only thing that can save us.




Autumn Grey is a hopeless romantic and loves stories with HEA. She is the author of the Havoc series (Havoc, Obliterate, Mend), Fall Back Skyward and Breaking Gravity. And just like her characters, she is quirky, sometimes funny and definitely flawed. She writes sexy contemporary romances full of drama, steamy kisses and happy ever afters.

Playing for Keeps by Jessica Prince

Book Review Virginia Lee Blog

Title: Playing for Keeps Series: Hope Valley Author: Jessica Prince Release Date: March 8

Contemporary Romance; Small Town Romance

 

When it came to the men in her life, Charlotte Belmont was cursed. She’d known losers, cheaters, abusers, and criminals, so it went without saying, she stopped trusting her judgment a long time ago. Then Dalton came into her life; a good, dependable man who made her heart race and her body hot. When she felt herself falling for him, she did the only thing she could think to protect them both . . . she ran like hell. Dalton Prescott was a protector by nature, so when the woman he’d been tasked to keep safe was almost killed on his watch, he carried that guilt like a weight on his shoulders. What made matters worse was that before everything went south, Dalton had started to care for Charlotte in a way that had nothing to do with his job. She’s determined to ignore their attraction and keep him at a distance, but he’s playing for keeps and has no intention of losing. However, when ghosts from the past start popping up, bringing with them a whole new threat, Dalton may be the only man who can keep her safe this time. **Hope Valley is a series of interconnected, standalone, small town romances.**

Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That’s why God created central air, after all. Jessica is the mother of a perfect little boy–she refuses to accept that he inherited her attitude and sarcastic nature no matter what her husband says. In addition to being a wife and mom, she’s also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books–romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it’s a passion…there’s a difference. Not that she’d expect a boy to understand. Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.

Through Your Eyes by Marianne Lomberg

Book Review Virginia Lee Blog
Title: Through Your Eyes
Author: Marianne Lomberg
Genre: F/F Romance
Release Date: March 5, 2021
Cover Design: Dani René



Debut author, Marianne Lomberg, brings you an armchair travel F/F romance filled with emotion and beauty while finding out if love is enough.

Niki Wolf kills people with her pen before they die.
If her job as celebrity obituary writer has taught her anything,
it’s that people are predictably dull. That is until she meets Brigitte, the quiet bookseller with the mesmerising eyes which look straight into her soul.

There’s only one problem: Brigitte’s lover is the next person Niki needs to write to death.

In a sun-drenched city in the South of France where tourists go to fall in love, Niki loses her heart and has to face the toughest questions of her life.

Is she following her dreams, or running away?
And is love enough to make her stay?


We are not who we were born to be. We become. With every moment that holds us captive, every story that enchants, that we choose to lose our hearts to, we create our future selves.


Marianne believes in the power of stories. She escapes into them, makes sense of life through them and, above all, loves telling them. She writes about the strength with which people just like us face the world, and to give us the Happily Ever After we all deserve.

When she isn’t having conversations with her characters or losing herself in someone else’s book, Marianne is a veterinarian and businesswoman, a fierce advocate for equality, a coffee fanatic and general goofball. After living and working in France and the UK for several years, she returned to her hometown of Johannesburg, South Africa, where she now lives with her partner and Imogen, her French rescue cat.

𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐮𝐬𝐡, 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞, 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐨𝐤𝐞.

I live for domination. In the boardroom and the bedroom. But while I thrive in business, my personal life is in disarray. 

It’s always been Jackie and Oliver. It’s all the others have ever known. The two of us, seemingly perfect. Except, many times there have been three… 

I need more and I realise just how wrong Oliver Ward is for me, when guitarist Easton Cooper strolls into my life. 

Because he’s so right. 

As I fall deeper into Easton’s thrall, Oliver falls deeper into madness. 

I only hope he won’t break.

A Beauty So Cruel by Beena Khan

Book Review Virginia Lee Blog



Title: A Beauty So Cruel
Series: Beauty & The Beast #1
Author: Beena Khan
Genre: Mafia Romance
Release Date: February 14, 2021


BLURB

I was a beauty, a stray orphan until the beast took me as his hostage.

Once upon a time…
A Don by the name of Vlad Vitalli ruled New York. He’s a mafia man. The leader of one of the ruling families, La Cosa Nostra. He’s a monster. A trained killer and a cold-blooded murderer. Tall, mysterious, with icy gray eyes, and he rarely smiles. His smile was made to fool any girl. He’s ruthless, cold, dangerous, and wants to kill me.

I was the wrong person at the wrong time.
Just an innocent at the masquerade ball. The mafia has rules: no witnesses left behind. To save my life, I made a deal with the beast. I handed myself to the cruelest man in the kingdom.

For him, It was supposed to be an easy kill. I’m an orphan raised in poverty. No one would have missed me. Just as the Don Vlad was about to order the hit, I threw off my masquerade mask, revealing my face, and offered myself to him. One look and I was doomed. He took me as his hostage. His captive. He didn’t know by taking me, Dahlia Hadid, he sealed his own fate.

Welcome to New York’s Underworld.
Loosely based on the fairytale.

EXCERPT

“Are you afraid of me?”
It was kind of hard not be, in front of a mafia don.
I didn’t answer and stayed still. Hopefully, he would stop asking me.
“I’ve said it before Dahlia, I don’t like repeating myself. I should have put you down already. You’re lucky you are still alive.” His voice was stern and aloof. It was the first time he’d spoken my name out loud. I tried not to like how it came out of his mouth.
“I’m not telling you,” I replied in defiance.
I looked up and a small smirk played on his lips.
“All I asked was for you to beg me.”
“And I said no,” I whispered, my breath landing on his lips.
He became still, looking deep into my eyes. I wished he would look away. It was hypnotic. His breathing was heavier and soon we were breathing the same air.
“How hard is it to say the word, please?” he murmured.
Oh. That’s what he wanted?
“Please Vlad,” I said softly.
It was the first time I’d spoken his name.
“You’re so pretty when you beg.”
My eyes widened.
Then, something changed.
He dropped his arms and stepped away from me.
