TITLE: BENEATH THE STARS

RELEASE DATE: FEBRUARY 22ND, 2020

Synopsis

From NYT and USA Today bestselling author A.L. Jackson comes a friends-to-lovers romance about an unattainable rockstar and his best friend’s younger sister…

Maggie Fitzgerald is the last girl I should think about taking to my bed.

On the cusp of turning 21, she has her whole life waiting out ahead of her. Sexy AF while still radiating an innocence that I know better than to taint.

And here I am, itching to reach out and touch a girl who is so forbidden that just thinking about her feels like committing a mortal sin.

Thing is, I love playing with fire.

Rhys Manning is everything I shouldn’t want.

Country-rock’s newest superstar.

Fun. Wild. Ready to show the world a good time.

He’s so off-limits it isn’t even funny.

So out of reach he might as well be a poster tacked on my wall.

Too bad every time he looks at me, my heart races out of control.

Now, I’m stuck living with him for the entire summer…

We’re only supposed to be friends. Still, I should have known it was a terrible idea when I started sneaking into his room. Especially when it’s clear he’s keeping secrets.

Secrets that might destroy us both.

One touch, and I want more.

One kiss, and I’m spiraling out of control.

I know it’s reckless to start dancing in the flames.

But in exchange for getting to spend one night with this brooding bad boy? I might be willing to get burned…

A.L Jackson is one of my favorite authors and she never fails to make me fall in love with her heroes. Rhys Manning was already a fun character to read about in the previous books from this series but getting his own story really had me falling for him. The attraction between him and Maggie had me gripping my Kindle and ignoring reality because it was so enthralling. They had a strong chemistry but were both dealing with past hurts that made it hard for them to give in to one another. Add in an overprotective older brother to that and it all leads to a sexual tension that just about burned my Kindle.

I couldn't get enough of this story and even as I finished I wanted to go right back to the beginning and start all over again just to get more of Rhys and Maggie. They stole my heart instantly and were so adorable together even when they were denying that they would be perfect for one another. There was also some suspense added to this story which was amazing. I loved the mystery of trying to figure out Rhy's past and why he was so determined to believe that it made him bad for Maggie.

Overall, this book was amazing and I will definitely be doing a re-read sometime soon.

Beneath the Stars Excerpt

Beneath the Stars Excerpt Blitz

A Friends - to - Lovers Rockstar Romance from A.L. Jackson

Coming February 22nd

Beneath the Stars is coming 02/22, and I'm thrilled to be a part of the except blitz. Check out the fire that is coming to you in this friends - to - lovers romance!

“Just how strong are ya, Mag Pie? Think you can sling me on that back and carry me inside?” He managed to only half slur the words.

Droplets of giddiness dripped into my chest. A well gathering fast. “You’re asking me if I can lift a Mack truck?”

“Hell, no. Just if you can tackle a stallion.”

He waggled his brows, though it was sloppy and goofy and kind of adorable, and god, how easily I could fall for this man.< /p>

Like slipping into quicksand.

&ldq uo;What would you say if I wanted to try?” I whispered, throat so tight it was difficult to speak.

He grunted. “I’d say that sounds like a mistake.”

“I thought you said I needed to make a few mistakes along the way?” I lifted my chin, my eyes searching his face in the darkness.

He forced a grin that felt wholly faked. “Ahhh…a few mistakes are called for. But believe me, baby, you don&r squo;t want this kind of tragedy.”&n bsp;

“Rhys—”

He shook his head to cut me off. “Don’t.”

I glanced back at the house. “I really should get Royce. He can help me get you inside.”

Rhys huffed out a laugh, shoving off the darkness that had gathered around him like a violent storm. He cocked a playful grin. “Think I’ve received my full allotment of death threats from your brother today, thank you very much. I can make it just fine. ”&n bsp;

“Death threats?”

“Let’s just say he made our boundaries very clear.” He gestured at the bare space between us. “Jus t so you know, we’re already crossin’ them.”

I sc owled. “When?”

“Doesn’t matter.”

I huffed a sigh.

Freaking Royce.

“Richard?” I offered instead.

“Nope. Good as new. Can’t keep a good man down.” His words were all slurry and mushed together.

He hopped up like he was going to prove the point.

Only he stumbled three feet to the side.

A goliath who swayed.

I jumped up and rushed to his side. “Whoa there, cowboy. You keep it up, and you’re definitely going down.”

He leaned against me, slinging his arm over my shoulders.

The man heavy and hard and pure masculinity.

He staggered a bit, and I str uggled to keep him upright, because holy crap, he was made of brick.

Suddenly, his nose was in my hair. “Why you gotta smell so good, Mags? And this dress.”

My brain was short - circuiting with him this close.

With the words that slipped from his mouth so errantly.

With the way his fingertips grazed over the silky fabric in the barest brush.

Wildfire.

It consumed my flesh.

But it was my heart that was at risk.

Goal Lines & First Times

RELEASE BLITZ

GOAL LINES & FIRST TIMES (CU Hockey #3) by Eden Finley & Saxon James

Release Date: February 10, 2021

Cover Design: Story Styling Cover Designs

Genre: M/M College Sports Romance
Trope: Bisexual awakening, first time gay

SYNOPSIS

COHEN

It turns out making out with my best friend in high school could be considered gay. Who knew? Apparently, everyone but me.

Now that it’s been pointed out, I can’t help reliving it in my head. Repeatedly. Goodbye Denial Town, hello Confusionville.

When my path leads me down the gay dating app route, I don’t expect to meet anyone I like, but then I meet him.

He can’t be more opposite than me. He’s smart, he hates hockey, and he identifies as demi—something I’ve never heard of.

Yet I can’t deny something’s there. Something I want to explore in person. If only I could get him to agree.

SETH

All my life, I’ve felt broken.

Sick of being asked if I could be gay by ex-girlfriends, friends, and even my parents, I join a gay dating app to prove a point.

I don’t expect to find what’s always been missing. A real connection.

The problem is, I’m too scared to meet him in person. He’s a hockey player, and I fear when he finds out my twin plays for the NHL, I’ll be overshadowed by my overachieving brother. Again.

Worse yet, what happens if we meet and that connection isn’t the same?

When I tell him I’m not ready, he’s disappointed but supportive. Fate, on the other hand, isn’t as accepting.

I had no idea the person I’ve been falling for is someone I already know.

Cohen and Seth were amazing! I can't even pick who was my favorite from this book because I fell in love with both of them so easily. They were both so adorably confused and I thought it was amazing that we got to read their journey to figuring out who they were and what made them happy. Especially when they were trying to figure things out together. I absolutely loved their banter and could read their messages all day without getting bored.

The story was so cute and Seth and Cohen were so sweet with one another but there was also a huge dose of hotness and oh my lord was it steamy. I can't get enough of these two and I already want to go back and read their story all over again. This book gets a huge recommendation from me and I know any MM romance lover out there will fall for this couple and their story just as hard as I did.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Eden Finley is an Amazon bestselling author who writes steamy contemporary romances that are full of snark and light-hearted fluff.

She doesn't take anything too seriously and lives to create an escape from real life for her readers. The ideas always begin with a wackadoodle premise, and she does her best to turn them into romances with heart.

With a short attention span that rivals her son's, she writes multiple different pairings: MM, MMF, and MF.

She's also an Australian girl and apologises for her Australianisms that sometimes don't make sense to anyone else.

Still Standing

Still Standing, an all-new emotional and fiery MC romance from New York Times bestselling author Kristen Ashley, is available now!

When Clara Delany walks into the Aces High Motorcycle Club’s hangout, she’s hit rock bottom. She’s hiding her car from the repo man, she has less than two dollars in her bank account and the only employment she can get is delivering messages for a criminal.

All because of a man. Therefore, she’s sworn off them.

And then she meets West “Buck” Hardy, president of the Aces High MC.

Buck also meets her, and the minute he does, he makes it clear (to everyone but Clara) that they’re starting something. Since Clara doesn’t get that message, she decides to leave Buck and sort out her life in order to come back to him clean.

She’s not gone but hours before life hits Clara with another blow. Which means Buck and his boys have to ride in and save the day. After that, Buck makes no bones about where they stand.

But does he?

Welcome to the first novel in the Wild West MC series which will tell the stories of the brothers of the Aces High MC, the Resurrection MC and the Chaos MC…and the women who love them.

First thing first, for people that DNF books I'm going to warn you that you may hit a point in this book that makes you question the characters. But here is my reassurance that you need to push through because by the end you will love Buck and Clara. Really, I think the best way I can describe this book is complex.

The best thing about the story was how intriguing it was. I started this book late and thought I'd just read a few chapters. But nope, like I should have expected from a KA book it captivated me and had me reading the rest of the night until I finished. And even then I wasn't done, I was ready for more and could have read it all over again if I wasn't about to pass out from exhaustion.

Buck and Clara were fun together because of their differences. Clara was down on her luck and not living in the best situation but even then nothing prepared her for for Buck and his MC lifestyle. And Buck was used to women falling all over themselves to get to him, not someone like Clara who was independent and not ready to rely on anyone. It made for some very interesting moments between them and all the tension that came with it was amazing.

Overall, this is a good start to a new series and I'm already looking forward to seeing what else will happen in this world.

Excerpt

“Babe,” he growled.

A warning.

Definitely.

I’d gone too far.

I also didn’t care.

“Okay, so then does Tia have to sleep with one, or, say, all of your boys?”

“Don’t do that shit. You know that’s not what I’m talkin’ about.”

“So maybe you’ll explain what you’re talking about.”

“I would, you shut your trap.”

I shut my trap and stared at his shadowed head.

He stared at mine.

Then he muttered, “Christ, need my head examined.”

“You could get off me,” I reminded him.

“Is this shuttin’ your trap?”

I shut my trap again.

“You take of care my house and my business as well as me.”

“What does that mean?”

“That means you move outta the apartment before they kick your ass out. You move into my house. You keep it clean. You keep me fed, that is, when I’m not feedin’ you, and I like to cook, so mostly, I’ll be feedin’ you. You come to work with me and take care of the office, and you go home with me.”

Wow.

Was he serious?

That sounded like…it sounded like…

My God, it didn’t sound like a sex-for-safety arrangement.

It sounded like a relationship.
