How To Rope A Rough Cowboy
Anya Summers
(Silver Springs Ranch, #3)
Publication date: April 20th 2021
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Maverick Greyson is barely housebroken. Having been raised on ranches, he spends the bulk of his days on the back of his horse, and can’t imagine a finer way to occupy his time – except maybe a night with a willing female. He loves women. Enjoys their company mightily. Relishes the available bounty of tourists and townsfolk alike, and rarely enjoys the same woman twice.

But the ranch’s newest guest, Bianca Peabody, makes him want to swear off the species entirely. The doe-eyed beauty, with her highfalutin ’attitude, makes his blood boil.

And yet the sorrow he glimpses in her one night changes everything. Now his soul hungers to have her in his arms. He burns for her love. Heaven help him, her surrender may be everything he has always needed.

For the first time in his life, Maverick is looking toward the future, and building one with the only woman he has ever wanted to claim. But she is keeping secrets…

Secrets capable of destroying him – and any future they might have.

TRAILER



EXCERPT

It was supposed to be this way. I knew and agreed to the terms. He kept his word and stuck to his end of the deal. But I still notice the ache of disappointment he’s gone. Part of me is giddy from everything we did and all the ways he made me feel. The other half wonders if it was better to have never known anything so excruciatingly pleasurable existed.
There isn’t a bone in my body that isn’t aware I’ll never experience anyone like him ever again.
I let myself get lost in my trip down memory lane for a brief moment. Then I get up, shower, and go to put on my clothes from the night before. I figure I’ll do the walk of shame out of the high-end suite and onto the sixth floor to the room I’m sharing with my girlfriends. Panic fills me when I can’t find my panties, bra, or dress.
I open the closet, and a new, white, very expensive sundress is hanging there. It has a built-in bra, but there are no undergarments anywhere. A note is attached. It reads:

My Krasotka,
Your dress and bra will be delivered to your room after they are cleaned. I’m keeping your panties.

A scribbled letter resembling an M is at the bottom of the paper.
I gape at the note and dress for a minute then bite on my smile.
Pervert.
M. His name starts with an M. Or is it for his last name?
That’s all I know of Mr. Stranger Danger. He could stand in front of me, and I wouldn’t know it’s him. I have zero clue what he looks like, his real name, or anything else about him. The only thing I’m positive about is his voice, bergamot and cardamom scent, and the way his body formed perfectly against mine. Most of the things he said, I didn’t even understand since he often spoke in another language. I’m not sure how he knows what room number is mine, but for the first time in my life, I’m not going to overanalyze it.
Krasotka. He kept saying it all night, as if it were his pet name for me. What does it mean?
I grab my phone and type it into the search bar. It’s Russian.
Krasotka: Gorgeous, Beauty.
Besides all the mind-blowing O’s he gave me, it hits me that I genuinely feel happy and alive again. I haven’t felt anything but unwanted, sad, and ugly in a long time.
For some crazy reason, I’m glad he kept my panties.

WRENCH

Book 7 in the GYPSY KINGS SERIES 

By ROUX CANTRELL

Genre: Contemporary Romance | MC

Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57558373-wrench  

Hosted by DS Promotions





BLURB:

What kind of life was it when your best quality was pulling the trigger?

Drugs and alcohol have been my companion for so long I’m not sure I can feel anything real anymore.

I saw her again…wanted her… to be real. She’s my dark angel and I’m the devil that’s going to ruin her. Even if I have to drag her down into my hell I’ll have her. I’ll make her whimper, then I’ll make her scream. Frisco is mine. She just doesn’t know it yet.


I saw him again: mysterious, moody and high. I don’t care. I’m not looking to fix anyone. I’m not looking to save anyone, hell I can’t save myself.

I’m just window shopping and he’s pretty to look at. When he brushed past me, I could feel the heat radiating off his body. When he stared down into my eyes, I wanted to drown in them. When he shoved me against the door and kissed me … I remembered he belonged to someone else.

His unique scent still lingers in me…on me …around me … cedar and gunpowder. 

It’s all him…all male …all Wrench.

Broken Mind by Andi Rhodes

Book Review Virginia Lee Blog



Title: Broken Mind
Series: Broken Rebel Brotherhood 
Next Generation #3
Author: Andi Rhodes
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: April 1, 2021


BLURB

Ruby…
I was meant for bigger things in this life than being a bartender in small town Indiana. I certainly never thought my military career would be cut short. But the very people who were supposed to train me, help mold me into the soldier I was meant to be, took everything from me. I lost my mind and forgot who I was for a while. I ran as fast and as far as I could, trying to find something, anything, that would make me whole again. I still haven’t found it.

Liam…
I know who I am and what I want. My position as the Vice President of the Broken Rebel Brotherhood is the culmination of my entire life and what I was meant for from the moment I was born. It’s everything. Or it used to be. A series of repeated one night stands with the new bartender have awakened something in me that I didn’t know was there. But she’s built walls that I have no idea how to break through.

When a threat emerges and she’s forced to reveal her secrets, I realize there’s nothing that can stop me from doing whatever it takes to be the one thing she needs: a hero.

EXCERPT

“Why did you call me ‘Ruby love’?”
He huffs out a breath and drops his gaze to stare at the floor. He shrugs. “It just came out.”
“Love is a pretty powerful word to just come out.”
“Yeah, sure, if I meant anything by it. I didn’t so you can stop worrying.”
“I’m not worried,” I lie. I open the fridge and pull out a beer. “You want one?”
“Am I going to be here long enough to drink it?”
I shrug. “That’s up to you.”
Liam’s head whips in my direction and his eyebrows shoot up in surprise. “Yeah, I’ll take one.” I hand it to him. “Thanks,” he says as he twists the cap off.
We both stand there, silent and drinking the cold Bud Light. When he tosses his empty bottle in the trash under the sink, it clanks with a few other empty bottles, the sound startling me.
“Ruby, we need to talk.”
“Do we?” I counter.
He stares at me as if trying to make up his mind about something. “Forget it.”
Liam stomps to the door and yanks it open. He glances over his shoulder and the hurt in his eyes shatters me. I won’t admit it out loud, but I can’t let him leave. Not like this.
“Wait,” I call just before he pulls the door closed.
He turns around to face me but says nothing.
I drop my gaze and swallow. When I lift my head, I force a smile. “Thank you.”
“For what?” He shuts the door and remains inside. “For picking your ass up off the floor, for cleaning up your head, for fucking you for the last few years, for following your rules, or for leaving so you don’t have to talk?”
His words burn like acid, but I deserve them. Every single one. He’s not going to like my answer but at least it’s the truth.
“All of it.”

Kill Me Tomorrow by Britney King

Book Review Virginia Lee Blog
Title: Kill Me Tomorrow
Author: Britney King
Genre: Psychological Thriller
Release Date: April 1, 2021


From the bestselling author of The Social Affair and HER comes a mind-bending thriller that’s soaked with raw sensuality, as an investigator’s search takes a wicked turn when he meets a beautiful and provocative woman.

Ali is a sex therapist-slash-guru, famous for the work she does helping others find pleasure.

The problem: Ali can never quite find it for herself.

Her life’s work makes nothing taboo, nothing off limits. And she’s tried everything short of murder. Although, with the way things are going, it’s not off the table.

When Ethan Lane is hired to investigate the death of a wealthy bachelor, he isn’t expecting to stumble into a string of murders. The victims are men, and all members of a popular dating app. Operating undercover with a profile of his own, he meets the woman of his dreams—who also happens to be his best suspect.

The question: Can Lane stay alive long enough to prove his theory? And does he want to?






Hello. I’m Britney.

I live in Austin, Texas with my husband, children, a dog named Gatsby, one ridiculous cat, and a partridge in a pear tree.

When I’m not wrangling the things mentioned above, I write psychological, domestic, and romantic thrillers set in suburbia.

Currently, I’m writing three series and several standalone novels.

The Bedrock Series features an unlikely heroine who should have known better. Turns out, she didn’t. Thus she finds herself tangled in a messy, dangerous, forbidden love story and face-to-face with a madman hell-bent on revenge. The series has been compared to Fatal Attraction, Single White Female, and Basic Instinct.

The Water Series follows the shady love story of an unconventional married couple—he’s an assassin—she kills for fun. It has been compared to a crazier book version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Also, Dexter.

Around The Bend is a heart-pounding standalone, which traces the journey of a well-to-do suburban housewife, and her life as it unravels, thanks to the secrets she keeps. If she were the only one with things she wanted to keep hidden, then maybe it wouldn’t have turned out so bad. But she wasn’t.

The With You Series at its core is a deep love story about unlikely friends who travel the world; trying to find themselves, together and apart. Packed with drama and adventure along with a heavy dose of suspense, it has been compared to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Love, Rosie.

The Social Affair is an intense standalone about a timeless couple who find themselves with a secret admirer they hadn’t bargained for. For fans of the anti-heroine and stories told in unorthodox ways, the novel explores what can happen when privacy is traded for convenience.

It is reminiscent of films such as One Hour Photo and Play Misty For Me. Classics. Without a doubt, connecting with readers is the best part of this gig. If you’d like to connect, shoot me an email. You can also find me on Facebook, Instagram, and occasionally on Twitter.
