Be My Brayshaw by Meagan Brandy [Excerpt Reveal]

We’ve got a sneak peak into Be My Brayshaw just for you!!

“If I have to be the bad guy to make you feel better, fine. Consider me warned, Cap. And fuck right off.”

I shove at his chest, pushing past him when he calls, “Try and leave and I’ll lock you in that room like a proper fucking princess.”

A laugh bubbles out of me, and slowly, I spin to face him.

“Typical broken boy bullshit,” I snap, and his brows crash in the center. “Can’t hardly look at me but can’t stand to see me go.”

Head cocked, he glares through thick lashes, his tongue sneaking out to dab at the blood in the corner of his mouth. “Say what you want, I’m not fucking joking.”

“Do you really think I would give up my place if you don’t come along with it?” I ask, shaking my head. “I won’t.”

“Cross one, cross all.”

That’s the Brayshaw way.

She should have realized this before sliding into our world with secrets too big to bury.

She didn’t and now the target is on her back.

The day her lies came crashing down, I should have forced her out.

Instead, I locked her in, and with the promise I would never be hers.

I resisted, fought against us.

I caved.

I tasted what became my newfound favorite flavor and fell hard for the little liar.

But then the depth of her treachery reveals itself, and with it a reminder.

Our town is a twisted place, and with truth comes trouble.

In the blink of an eye, my world is split at its core, and I’m faced with an impossible decision, one that leads to a single outcome…

Betrayal.

That’s the Way I Loved You by Carrie Aarons [Release Blitz]

That’s the Way I Loved You
Carrie Aarons
May 14, 2020
Contemporary Romance

Savannah
This town ain’t big enough for the two of us.
Which is why I left.

I was determined never to return to Hale, Texas. But when my new life in the Big Apple throws me a curve ball, I have to go back to tie up loose ends. One of those being him.

Jason Whitney was my first everything. Kiss, love, epic heartbreak. He shattered my world once upon a time, and apparently, he’s not done yet.

With old demons lurking around every corner, hightailing it out of my hometown is at the top of my list. Complete my unfinished business, and I get to leave any memory of my country existence behind.

Only, with each day I spend in it, with each moment I spend with him, I’m turning back into the girl who laid in the tall grass and swam in the creek all those years ago.

And I’m not sure that who I was is ready to let me go again.

Jason
We drew a line down the middle, and neither of us has crossed it.

That is, until Savannah Reese blew back into our hometown.

The day my high school sweetheart left, she took my whole heart with her. We promised each other forever, made plans that only teenagers could believe in, and crashed and burned on the grandest of scales.

When Savannah last saw me, I was a disgraced high school athlete. All washed up, I took it out on the only person who loved me. Then her world really fell apart, and I was too selfish to care.

Now she’s back, ready to sell the only remaining thing tying us to each other. I’ve been breaking my back for the last ten years not to think about her, not to be reminded of the love we shared.

But now that she’s right here, it’s impossible to forget how we used to be. Or let go of what we still are.

Did you ever hear the joke about the guy whose wife cheated on him with his best friend? So he quit his job, moved into his parents basement, and gained fifty pounds?

No? Because that wasn’t a joke. It was my life.

Four years later, I’m back with a dream job, a killer apartment, and a set of abs that are better than ever.

So, when Maggie Light, a stunning, snarky blonde moves in next door, and we spend the hottest weekend of our lives together, I think this could be the greatest comeback story ever.

That is until I realize Maggie has moved to town to do one thing—steal my job.Maybe this isn’t a comeback story after all. Maybe this is war—one I intend to win.
What I never anticipated was that maybe I’d rather win her.

Perhaps, if I’m lucky, the universe has finally run out of jokes and I can somehow win both.

Star Bright (Bright Young Things)
Staci Hart
July 14, 2020

There’s no greater thrill than in the moment a courier hands you the heavy invitation with those words etched on the front. Because you just joined the most exclusive group in New York.
The Bright Young Things.
Lavish parties. Irreverent treasure hunts. Every event is a spectacle, stalked not only by the media, but by the police commissioner, who’s declared himself the morality police, heading up a charge leading to raids and arrests and the constant threat of danger.
But that’s all part of the fun.
That, and the secrets.
Like, who sponsors these parties? The trail leads back to one mysterious name, an homage to the original Bright Young Things of a century ago: Cecelia Beaton.
And no one knows it ’s me.
Everyone has secrets, and mine is safe. Until I meet him. He comes out of nowhere, armed with ample charm and a tilted smile. Dark eyes promise to devour me — all I have to do is give him permission. And before I realize it, he finds his way into my heart, into my life, with dangerous ease.
Because he has secrets of his own, secrets that could bring down everything I’ve built.
Even the best kept secrets have a way of getting out.
And if mine does, I’ll lose more than my heart.

Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life — a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can’t forget that. She’s also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She’s been a wife, though she’s certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She’s also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she’s been drinking whiskey. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.

Goodbye Summer

No strings attached was the unspoken game that was being played and what more could I expect with only two nights in town.A weekend away from home to celebrate my birthday in Myrtle Beach, that’s where it all started. That and drawing a stranger in a dive bar. My need for him grew strong with every stroke of the pencil against the page of my sketchbook. Then when his lips touched mine, it made me want to do more than mark a blank page with graphite. This weekend might have started with a sketch, but it was going to end with goodbye taillights.

Goodbye Never

Since my twenty-first birthday, I expected to be able to move on with my life. To work on my art and pretend that weekend had never happened. That I hadn’t fallen for a complete stranger.But a bump in the road put me onto a different path, one that I have no idea where it led to. At least, not until Drew walked through the door of my new house. The man I still spent hours drawing because his face was engraved into my mind, was now inserting himself into my life, with no intention of ever leaving.It seemed like this time, neither one of us was going to let this end in goodbye taillights.

Jordan Bates is an up and coming romance author from Florida, who is determined to write loves that last and are true to everyone who reads them.

Jordan graduated from UCF with a degree in English – Creative Writing. She has been writing since her freshman year in high school, where she finished her first and second book. Since then, she has pursued writing poetry, young adult novels, and romance novels.

When Jordan isn’t working or writing, you can find her looking for inspiration among the forests, and finding all the new food to eat. Because what’s better than writing? Eating an amazing burrito.

Whiskey (Brewed #2) by Molly McAdams [Review]

Whiskey (Brewed #2)
Molly McAdams
April 6, 2020

I’m the Dixon who left.
Through the good, bad, and worst imaginable, I stayed gone.
When I return home after a decade, I’m not surprised by the cold reception from my family . . . or my brother’s best friend.

Emberly Olsen.

I spent my childhood tormenting her.
Now these days with her feel like the cruelest sort of unintended revenge.
We’ve changed.
She’s changed.
Pure confidence and sensuality, but her pouty lips and heavy-lidded eyes scream contempt. And word around town? She’s untouchable.

But after sharing a few drinks, her snide comments turn teasing.
Sneers become smiles.
Huffs change to laughs.
Laughs to moans, sweeter than any sound.
Years of animosity ignite into carnal need and passion.

We can blame it on the whiskey.
I have a feeling we’ll try.
But we aren’t that drunk.

Add to Goodreads

Cayson Dixon. When Emberly hears that name, two things simultaneously happen, she cringes from the past tortures he put her through and…well, that’s part of the story and I can’t give that away.

Cayson is the brother who skipped town, we learn a lot about him in Fix, because Sawyer is the only brother to keep in touch with him. His story, is utterly heartbreaking. Cayson is a broken guy, kind of trying to mend what happened with his family and why he skipped town, but also sick of defending himself and honestly, he shouldn’t have to.

Between the two of them, Molly crushed my heart. I shed tears, but thankfully I also laughed and then right after that I was wishing people would choke. Between getting messages of me swooning over Cayson freakin Dixon and threatening these side characters, I don’t know how she kept up but she did and thank goodness for that because I don’t know what I’d have done if I couldn’t have talked to someone during this emotional roller coaster.

You’ve been warned, you need tissues, maybe alcohol of choice but definitely some candy to sooth your soul when she’s ripping it out. Y’all do not want to miss this next installment of the Dixon brothers. Trust. Me.

Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband, daughter, and fur babies. When she’s not diving into the world of her characters, some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks on the beach … which roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing out movie quotes. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies and fried pickles, and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm … or under one in a bathtub if there are tornado’s. That way she can pretend they aren’t really happening.
