Instagram post 2151834521543242435_5563974836 🙈 Cover Reveal Time 🙈A new comedy from the USA Today bestselling duo of Sarina Bowen & Tanya Eby!Man CuffedMac A good cop can always spot trouble. That’s why my senses started pinging the moment I met the hottie next door. The neighborhood may never be the same. First she confuses me for a male stripper and tries to remove my uniform. (The guys on the force will never let me live that down.) And then there’s the breaking and entering. I don’t know what to do with her. My libido has a few ideas of its own, though. Bad, bad ideas.Meg Hey, I it’s not my fault that Hot Cop’s nightstick gets excited every time we see each other. And I can’t help that someone broke into his apartment.  Fine—that last thing was totally my fault. And I intend to make amends. So when he needs a date for his sister’s wedding, I’m there. This is right up my alley. I’m an actor. By the time it’s over, his entire family will believe we’re a couple.  Even him.Warning: may cause unrestrained giggling in public. Contains: a bridezilla with a turkey leg, a flash mob, and a growly hero.

Instagram post 2151490702666865971_5563974836 😊 Thursday Review Time 😊Today I am super excited to share my 5 🌟 for another fantastic novel releasing this week: ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Down Too Deep (Dirty Deeds #4) by J. DanielsHeartwarming, spicy, and adorable!Down Too Deep is a deliciously charming, uplifting tale that introduces us to the grieving, workaholic, restauranteur Nathan and the kindhearted, dependable, single mother Jenna as they discover the power of friendship, the pull of attraction, and the benefits of being a team.The writing is humorous� and light. The characters are solid, supportive, and endearing. And the plot is an enticing, engaging mix of life, loss, family, palpable chemistry, tender moments, irresistible heat, parenthood, and real-life relationship struggles.Overall, Down Too Deep is an amusing, sweet, passionate novel by Daniels that has all the characteristics you look for in a romcom, including an engaging storyline, a wonderful cast of characters, with a supporting cast that might even steal the show, and a dreamy, happy-ever-after ending.Thank you to #partner @hbgcanada for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Have you had a chance to read Down Too Deep or any of the other novels in the Dirty Deeds series?

Instagram post 2150872934846174798_5563974836 ☀️ It’s Wednesday ☀️ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣And I am so excited to share my review for the latest novel in a series I absolutely adore.So here’s a look at my 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 review for: ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Dead Guilty (DC Maggie Neville #4) by Michelle DaviesSharp, engrossing, and perfectly plotted!In this fourth novel in the DC Maggie Neville series, Dead Guilty, Davies has written a fast-paced, police procedural that has DC Maggie Neville struggling to adapt to her new role within the Met, whisking off to Majorca to act as the Family Liaison Officer for the Pope family as they struggle to cope with their emotional fragility, endless grief, and irrepressible desire for justice for the 10-year-old unsolved murder of their daughter, and on the hunt for a sadistic serial killer who may have just found a new victim to terrorize.The writing is crisp and bold. The characters are tenacious, flawed, and astute. And the plot keeps you on the edge of your seat with its short, intense chapters that submerge you into an ominous tale full of twists, turns, red herrings, secrets, obsession, mayhem, deduction, attraction, violence, and murder.Overall, Dead Guilty has an incredibly pacey storyline and exceptional character development. It’s dark, crafty, and riveting and is a clear indicator that Davies has hit her stride. If you love well-written police procedurals with intriguing characters then this is definitely one book/series you don’t want to miss.Thank you to #partner @pgcbooks for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Have you had a chance to read Dead Guilty or any of the novels in the DC Maggie Neville series?

And the plot is an alluring tale of life, loss, heartbreak, friendship, family, coming-of-age, secrets, deception, corruption, and new beginnings.Overall, What Happens in Paradise is a heartwarming, mysterious, romantic, domestic drama that keeps you engaged and invested from start to finish and with its beautiful infusions of island living and tantalizing cliffhanger ending it will undoubtedly leave you eager for more and counting down the days until the third and final novel in this trilogy becomes available.Thank you to #partner @hbgcanada for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Have you had a chance to read What Happens in Paradise or Winter in Paradise?
