About the Book

Raise the Heat
(Beastly Bosses #2)
by Cassia Leo 

Published February 23rd 2021 by Gloss Publishing LLC

Breaking up with most demanding chef in Manhattan was the end of my career. But after six months of unemployment, a job working for my ex’s twin brother—also a chef—is my only option. Is it just me or is it getting hot in this kitchen?

All it takes is one teeny-tiny, totally catastrophic breakup, and I’m blacklisted from the highly competitive Manhattan restaurant scene.

 
It’s bad enough I was forced to give up my hard-earned sous chef position and start at the bottom by taking a job as a hostess. But just when I think my life couldn’t get any worse, I find out my new boss is my ex-boyfriend’s twin brother. 

My new boss, Ethan Thorne, is just as insufferable and gorgeous as my ex. And when his strong hands are trussing a chicken, I can’t help wishing I was the one being tied up.

There’s just one very big problem. 

I promised my father — who’s funding Ethan’s new restaurant — I wouldn’t jeopardize the project by getting involved with my new boss. 

If anyone finds out I’ve been taste-testing dessert sauces off Ethan’s…utensil, I’m totally forked.

🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷 #Review of The Segonian by Dianne Duvall

🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷

New York Times bestselling author Dianne Duvall brings readers the second stand-alone novel in a thrilling new sci-fi romance series full of action, humor, and happily-ever-afters.

Eliana's life has never been what one might term ordinary. At least, it hasn't been for a very long time. As a powerful Immortal Guardian, she spends her nights hunting and slaying psychotic vampires that most of humanity doesn't even realize exist. Then an opportunity arises that instantly makes her extraordinary existence seem downright boring. The leader of the Immortal Guardians asks her to guard a group of mortals who are embarking upon a voyage across the galaxy to the planet Lasara. How could she possibly say no?

In no time at all, Eliana is hurtling through space on board a Lasaran battleship and getting to know not one but two alien races. It's the most exciting adventure of her long life... until the ship is unexpectedly attacked. Amid the chaos and destruction that follow, she valiantly helps everyone she can before an explosion renders her unconscious. When Eliana awakens, she finds herself alone, floating in space, clad only in a spacesuit, with no ship in sight. Alone--that is--except for the warm, deep voice that carries over the comm in her helmet.

Commander Dagon and the crew of the Segonian battleship Ranasura respond to a distress call from their Lasaran allies and join a massive Alliance-wide search-and-rescue mission. He quickly achieves communication with a lone Earthling female and races toward her. Every time they speak, his fascination with her grows and he becomes more desperate to reach her before her oxygen supply runs out. Her strength, bravery, and humor entice him, even more so when she defies all odds and they meet in person.

As he and Eliana embark upon a quest to find her missing friends, a bond swiftly grows between them that deepens with every laugh and smile and tender touch they share. But they are not the only ones searching for Earthling survivors. When Eliana herself becomes the hunted and their enemies begin to close in, can the two of them fight their way to victory, or will their enemies take everything?

Linda's Thoughts:

I am not exaggerating when I tell you that The Segonian by Dianne Duvall was my most anticipated book for the last nine months. After inhaling The Segonian’s sneak preview which was included at the end of the previous book, The Lasaran, - because I didn’t want that story to end - I have not been able to forget about Eliana and her terrifying predicament. Realistically, I knew Eliana had to survive or there wouldn’t be much of a romantic story for Dianne to tell in The Segonian.  Thankfully, reality held true and The Segonian did not disappoint. The story picks up right where The Lasaran left us.

From USA Today bestselling author Jenny Holiday comes a modern fairy tale just in time for Christmas about a tough New Yorker from the other side of the tracks who falls for a princess from the other side of the world.

Leo Ricci's already handling all he can, between taking care of his little sister Gabby, driving a cab, and being the super of his apartment building in the Bronx. But when Gabby spots a "princess" in a gown outside of the UN trying to hail a cab, she begs her brother to stop and help. Before he knows it, he's got a real-life damsel in distress in the backseat of his car. 

Princess Marie of Eldovia shouldn't be hailing a cab, or even be out and about. But after her mother’s death, her father has plunged into a devastating depression and the fate of her small Alpine country has fallen on Marie’s shoulders. She’s taken aback by the gruff but devastatingly handsome driver who shows her more kindness than she’s seen in a long time. 

When Marie asks Leo to be her driver for the rest of her trip, he agrees, thinking he’ll squire a rich miss around for a while and make more money than he has in months. He doesn’t expect to like and start longing for the unpredictable Marie. And when he and Gabby end up in Eldovia for Christmas, he discovers the princess who is all wrong for him is also the woman who is his perfect match. 

Linda's Thoughts

Since I’ve enjoyed Jenny Holiday’s stories previously, I was excited to pick up her newest release, A Princess for Christmas. I enjoy Christmas reads year-round and can be reliably counted on to swoon during fairy tales which feature a handsome prince or lovely princess falling in love with a commoner. I’m happy to report that I found A Princess for Christmas to be a heartwarming tale with delightful characters.

I always knew I was different.

From a young age, my mind has been plagued with things only I could see. Some hauntingly beautiful, others completely terrifying. Never knowing if these visions were real or just hallucinations, I learned how to lock them down and ignore them. I learned to take solace in the relative anonymity of city life and find peace in the rainy days my city of Seattle is known for.

But just when I think my life is getting on track and my dreams are achievable, a moment of weakness causes me to learn a hard and fast lesson.

My entire existence has been a lie.

Now I’m faced with a new reality that’s as implausible as it is fantastical. Filled with realms and veils, light and dark, fae and daemons, gods and angels—things I don’t understand but am forced to acknowledge. It doesn’t help that the man teaching me about my unique gifts is the gorgeously handsome Carrick Byrne, one of Seattle’s richest and most powerful men. He intimidates, annoys, and intrigues me all at the same time. I don’t trust him and yet there’s no one else to help me.

No longer certain who to put my faith in, what to believe, or how I fit into it all, one revelation is clear…

The world as I know it will never be the same again.

#Spotlight on Deathmarch by Dana Marton

Author's note

 
Welcome back to Broslin Creek! If you've read  the previous books in this small-town mystery/suspense series, you'll love Harper Finnegan's story. Once a town bad-boy, now a detective, the last thing he expects when her first love returns to town is having to arrest her for murder. He could never forget Allie, or that she skipped out on him without a word years ago. Sparks fly when these two meet again face to face.
 
My favorite part of writing is the research. For this book, I got to go off into the world of historical reenactors (Allie does Calamity Jane shows and Annie Oakley performances.) And then there was prepping. The unfortunate murder victim in the story is the town recluse, and expert level prepper, who is convinced that the apocalypse is just around the corner. In preparation, he hoards supplies, but when someone else wants his prepper stash, things end badly for him.
When I started writing this story, nobody expected Covid yet. I never  thought I'd become an amateur prepper myself, filling the unreachable top shelf of the pantry with "just in case" supplies. Now I can relate to the town recluse! Especially since we rarely go out these days.
 
If you aren't familiar with my Broslin Creek books yet, this is the perfect time to start to binge read. The books are standalone, so it doesn't really matter where you start. Enjoy!

Read an #Excerpt from Fighting the Fire by Laura Kaye + #Giveaway

A Note from Laura 

Dear Readers,

I’m so excited to share my new standalone romance, Fighting the Fire! This is the fourth book in my Warrior Fight Club contemporary romance series, which mixes military and sports romance elements to tell the story of an MMA training club which creates a found family for veterans transitioning to civilian life and dealing with their war-borne demons. In Fighting the Fire, Sean and Daniela are two of my favorite characters I've ever written--they're both strong, loyal, snarky, and hiding some pretty deep hurts that in the end make them so perfect for each other. And all that frenemies tension makes the chemistry between them hot AF! I hope you love them as much as I do!

xx Laura Kaye
