Chasing Tarzan

August 5, 2022 Book Review Virginia Lee Blog

Chasing Tarzan

by Catherine Forster

Genre: YA Memoir

In the 1960s, a relentless school bully makes Catherine’s life a living hell. She retreats inward, relying on a rich fantasy life––swinging through the jungle wrapped in Tarzan’s protective arms––and fervent prayers to a God she does not trust. She fasts until she feels faint, she ties a rough rope around her waist as penance, hoping God will see her worthy of His help.

As the second of eight children, Catherine is Mommy’s little helper, and like Mommy, Catherine is overwhelmed. The bullying and the adult responsibilities together foment her anger. She starts smacking her siblings, and becomes her younger sister’s nemesis. Spooked by who she is becoming, Catherine vows to escape for real, before she hurts someone—or herself.

Catherine finds salvation in a high school exchange program: new town, new school, new family, new persona. A passport celebrity. In New Zealand, nobody knows her history or her fears. Except for her Kiwi “mum,” who sees through Catherine’s façade and pulls her out from her inner safe-house.

Exposed, her sense of self implodes. Catherine must finally rethink who she is.

COVER

BLURB

BIRCH
I shouldn’t have left my Clem behind. I knew it was the wrong choice the moment I made it and let her push me away and into the life she thought I wanted. I should have fought for her. I should have grabbed her and taken her with me.

I can’t live with the regret anymore. It’s made my life a living hell with no end in sight. I could ignore it at first, when I was working to achieve my dreams. Then the roar of success drowned out my misery for a while. When it was time to head back into the studio after my first album hit it big, I had nothing to give, nothing to say.

If WPF Records hadn’t signed me, who knows what would have happened to my career. Still, I need to produce an album. Soon. The only thing I know to do is to go back home to Sweetwater Valley and get my girl back. Maybe I’ll get my rhythm back, maybe not, but I’d rather have her than the fame or even the music. Clementine has been mine for as long as I can remember, and I can’t go another day without her.

CLEMENTINE
Sometimes letting go is the hardest part. I had to let him go, knowing he would take my heart with him. I know I made the right decision when Birch, finally, got his big break. I found other ways to pass the time and other passions to help me ignore the hole in my soul.

I’ve found my footing while still living in the small town which was never going to be big enough for Birch’s dreams or talent. I’m content and I’m thriving as best I can considering my soul belongs to a man who lives in the limelight far away. Still, my heart hasn’t healed and I’m not whole.

When he comes back with all the right words and sorrow in his eyes, my heart wants to believe him, and my soul yearns for him. I can’t help but wonder what will happen if he gets back the inspiration he’s lost. Will he leave me all over again? I won’t be strong enough to pick up the pieces and let him go a second time.

**18+ If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you. No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. It is a standalone but is related to my Denver Family series (Banks Ink., Suburban Outcasts and Higgins Security) and my Sweetwater Valley Series. Birch Byrne first appears in Revealing His Family (Higgins Security Book 5).**

Your favorite steamy romance authors are giving you a peek into the lives of fourteen sexy couples who will Rock Your World.

Wicked talented, sometimes flawed, and too naughty for their own good, our larger-than-life rock stars know how to show their fans a good time. Music and romance go hand-in-hand, and love comes easy…but will it stay?

Grab your backstage pass and watch true love tame the wildest hearts around.

Genre: Romantic Comedy

COVER

BLURB

Alora: I’m super successful in my career, but finding a strong, handsome, and virile high-powered executive with a graduate degree to fall in love with so we can have perfect children together while living in our big, beautiful house has eluded me. I’m thirty-four years old, and I’ve come to the realization that like everything else in my life, I’m going to have to do it myself. I don’t need the man, not when I have three goofy best friends who will love and protect any child I have.

Now I just need to go to the clinic to pick out the right donor so I can have that perfect child.

But first, I’m going to run this idea past the trio of misfits who have been by my side since my sophomore year in college.

I love Coen, Oakley, and Tristan with all of my heart, and even though they are college educated, they don’t fit the ideal image I’ve had in my head since I was nine years old. Which is too bad, because they are in perfect in every other way.

–> We’ve bided our time for fifteen years waiting for Alora to find “the one”—her picture perfect match that we know does not exist. Even if she met a man with the education, career, and even the looks, we know no man will ever love her like we do. No man will ever cherish her like we do. No man will bend time and space to give her everything she wants, like we will.

We’ll do anything to make her ours, so when she comes with this crazy idea about IVF, we put fifteen years of longing and friendship on the line.

“Give us 90-days to knock you up. We’re going to be a part of the baby’s life regardless of who the father is, so why not let it be one of us?”

We’ll sell it as friends with benefits if that’s what she needs. If she happens to fall in love in the process—even better.

We have 90-days to convince her what we’ve known all along—she belongs with us.

Bred Winner is a Rom-Com Reverse Harem ��

Fun, hijinks, and lots of sexy time will ensue to include MF, MFMM.

Cover Reveal: Resisting the Grump by Ashley Munoz

August 5, 2022August 5, 2022 Book Review Virginia Lee Blog

Stalking the town recluse wasn’t exactly wise.

Resisting the Grump, an all-new hilarious and steamy small-town romantic comedy from bestselling author Ashley Munoz is coming September 2nd and we have the first look at the gorgeous cover!

Stalking the town recluse wasn’t exactly wise.

Davis was five years older than me…antisocial and temperamental. And there was the little fact that he didn’t know I existed.
Still, I gave him my heart, and he crushed it.

So I picked up the pieces and ran away to New York City. I had a plan that kept my heart intact for four years.
But one phone call changed everything.

Returning home meant facing the past…and the man who ruined me.
I had hoped that the mountain had swallowed him whole. Alas, as I set out to help my parents, I discover he’s not only alive and well, but that they apparently love the jerk.

He has no idea that we have a past, which is both a relief and salt in the wound.
I promise myself I’ll ignore how his eyes linger on me, or the way his touch feels like a live wire, and I’ll remember that once upon a time he broke me and for that I refuse to fall for him again.
But I can’t control that he seems to be falling for me this time.

Cover Reveal: Reckless Sinner by Erika Wilde

August 5, 2022August 4, 2022 Book Review Virginia Lee Blog

Reckless Sinner, a steamy and addictive forbidden romance from New York Times bestselling author Erika Wilde is coming September 13th, and we have the incredible cover!

Growing up, I had sworn never to join the family mafia business.
Still, I knew too much and I had to, at the very least, be an associate for the Russo family. In the end, I was sent to law school. In an underworld of criminals, I was a necessary commodity—especially when my brothers had recently spilled so much blood and were currently under investigation.
I found myself watching out for everyone. Only, I never saw Delaney coming. She was the beautiful daughter of one of the partners at the firm where I worked. She was strictly off limits during a time when I couldn’t afford to be distracted.
She was also driven, determined, and refused to accept no for an answer. I never should have touched her, but once I had my first taste, I couldn’t let her go. Delaney stole my heart and I didn’t even know I had one.
But things were about to get ugly. Her father was running for Attorney General, his goal to take down organized crime and end the mafia reign once and for all. And, my father and brothers were in his crosshairs.
There was no way Delaney and I would get a happy ending. No way we’d come out unscathed, especially when my father gives me a very specific job to do that could only end one way. . . with Delaney hating me.

BLURB

The moment I laid eyes on Makayla Hawkins, I felt it in my gut. A spark of desire, igniting a burning need inside me that I hadn’t felt in years.

I wanted her.

She had the face of an angel, and a body made for sin.

She was a temptress. A forbidden fruit.

And I wanted a taste.

Such a shame she belonged to another man.

One who didn’t deserve her.

But after a simple phone call, she was mine for the taking.

From the moment she stepped inside my club, I knew one night would never be enough.

I was consumed.

She was addicted.

I was her fantasy.

She was my obsession.
