RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW - MF - Deking the Beauty (Metros Hockey #3) by Crystal Perkins

 

Deking The Beauty by Crystal Perkins is now live!

From author Crystal Perkins comes an all new fake relationship, older brother's best friend romance set in her Metros Hockey Series.

Santo

I'm the "beauty" of the Seattle Metros. The nice guy who always has a smile for the media and the fans. Until I have an "off day" at an event. Coupled with some on ice accidents, I go from fan favorite to pariah. To help my image, it's suggested I tone down my playboy ways and at least pretend to be in a serious relationship. Even if that fake relationship is with my best friend's little sister.

Nita 

I've been in love with Santo since he was the boy next door when we were growing up. He's never seen me as more than his best friend's little sister, but now he needs my help. Being his girlfriend is all I've ever wanted, so a few months with him is like a dream come true. But, the dream turns into a nightmare when things become real between us, and he walks away.

With more than just the two of them to consider, can the Saint overcome his fears about relationships? And can Nita trust him to stay when she needs him the most?

My Rating - 4.5 Stars!

Deking the Beauty is the third book in the Metros Hockey series. This Crystal Perkins book is easily read as a standalone. 

There's a lot going on in this riveting read. There's brother's best friend, long time pining, fake romance, and plenty more. 

Nina and Santo make for a fun couple. You have to love Nina for standing up for herself, despite being head over heels in love with Santo. I enjoy the way they come together, with Nina helping to clean up his image. This is always a fun plotline and these two certainly didn't let me down. Of course, Santo has a lot to deal with, and doesn't always handle himself in the best manner. 

As for the show stealer, that has to be Nina's father. Omg, I absolutely love him!

The writing is great, the characters charming, and the storyline delightful. And you'll love the humor, which had me laughing out loud in spots. 

Overall, I love Deking the Beauty. I couldn't put this Crystal Perkins book down, reading it as quickly as possible. I highly recommend it the next time you're in the mood for a sports romance.

A mac and cheese connoisseur, she travels the world looking for the perfect version, while attending book conventions and signings as a cover for her research.

MF - Forever Perfect (Perfect #4) by Alison G. Bailey

  

Sometimes in love, the person who’s your future isn't always your destiny…

Forever Perfect by Alison G. Bailey is now live! 

I was five years old when I met the love of my life. He was my best friend's older brother, but he was also my friend. We shared popsicles, we hunted for shark teeth on Folly Beach, and told each other secrets. But everything changed when we became teenagers. Brandon no longer wanted to have anything to do with me. I was a pest. Something to ignore. I hated that he tossed away our friendship.

Although he broke my heart, it still fluttered when he looked at me, was near me, and touched me. But eventually he would look away, push away, and walk away. Finally, I realized you can't make someone love you even if they were supposed to be your forever.

My Rating - 4.5 Stars!

Forever Perfect is a great brother's best friend romance by Alison G Bailey. This is the fourth book in the Perfect series and is easily read as a standalone. 

I can never resist a brother's best friend romance. And this is my favorite kind, as Halle and Brandon have known each other growing up. They were even good friends...until they weren't.

Their story is told with time jumps, as we get to see the past and the present. And the present starts with Brandon hating Halle, creating a nice enemies to lovers storyline. And damn, their story is full of pain and obstacles, but their love is well worth the journey.

The writing is great, with an intriguing storyline and two interesting characters. The story is fast paced, with everything flowing nicely. There are definitely some tough subject matters, so be warned. 

Overall, Forever Perfect is a great read. I love this Alison G Bailey book, as it's full of all the feels. I definitely recommend it the next time you're in the mood for a brother's best friend romance. 

Alison G. Bailey is an award winning, Amazon and International bestselling author living in Charleston, South Carolina.

Hooking up with my best friend’s little sister is one thing, getting drunk and marrying her in Vegas is another…

My team just won the Stanley Cup. I should be out on the town celebrating. Instead, I’m nursing a broken heart, courtesy of my ex-wife.

Next thing I know, I’m waking up with my teammate’s sister in my bed wearing a rock the size of the Grand Canyon on her finger. Neither of us remembers saying, I do… but turns out the marriage is as real as the diamond on her finger.

The press is going crazy. The team is pissed. And her brother… well he just might kill me. So, at the advice of my agent, we do the only thing that makes sense—make a plan to stay married until this madness blows over.

It might have started out fake, but Gabby is the one making my dreams come true and showing me what real love is.

Now I just need convince her to stay my wife forever. 

My Rating - 4.5 Stars!

Dream Maker is the second book in the Las Vegas Vipers series by Stacey Lynn. It's easily read as a standalone and is a great addition to this sports series. And, damn, I am a total sucker for an athlete falling in love. 

This is a brother's best friend romance with an accidental marriage element. I enjoy the way things develop between them and the way things play out. 
They have a sweet relationship and end up balancing each other well. 

It's well written, with plenty of sweet moments and not much tension. 

Dream Maker is definitely worth a read when you're in the mood for a married in Vegas romance. Everything about this Stacey Lynn book, and series, has me smiling.

Always (Indigo Falls #1) by Loren Leigh

Amazon Link - Available in KU 

Goodreads Link

I avoid him.

Every time Kepler Quinn steps into a room, I get the hell out.

He does . . . something to me. When those discerning gray eyes flick towards me, his brow rising in a silent greeting, there’s a tightening of my abs. A zapping hum quivering low along my spine.

There are about a million reasons it shouldn’t be what the little voice in the back of my head insists . . . a crush.

Because Kepler isn’t just some random guy. He’s my brother’s best friend. He’s also my TA for physics this semester. And also . . . a guy. I’ve never held strongly onto being straight, but I’ve also never had this sun-scorching need for another guy before.

But I can’t avoid him when we’re suddenly in the back stacks of the library—alone—nothing but the smell of old books and softly falling dust around us. And instead of walking away from him, I let out the two words that burn in my throat:

“Kiss me."

Always is a swoony M/M college romance with a bisexual awakening and sizzling chemistry. It’s the first in the Indigo Falls College series, a standalone, and features a happy ending.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Always is a fabulous start to the Indigo Falls series by Loren Leigh. I am truly in love with this story.

Kepler and Jin are amazing together. The longing and pining between them jumps off the pages. And damn, when they get together, the sex is sizzling. 

There's a lot to their history together, as they've long known one another. Their relationship is forbidden from both the brother's best friend element, as well as the teacher's assistant/student aspect. 

I love their penchant for getting frisky together in public. And there are plenty of hot scenes. But it's the deeper connection they develop that I really enjoy. 

Their story includes some family issues for both men, including a large focus of alcoholism and it's affects on those around the addict. 

Always is a delicious forbidden relationship romance. As brother's best friend is my favorite trope, I was super excited to read this one. And it definitely didn't disappoint.

Payne


In search of: room to rent.

Must ignore the patheticness of a forty-year-old roommate.

Preferably dirt cheap as funds are tight (nonexistent).

There’s nothing sadder than moving back to my hometown newly divorced, homeless, and lost for what my next move is.

When my little brother’s best friend offers me a place to stay in exchange for menial duties, I swallow my pride and jump at the offer.

I need this.

I also need Beau to wear a shirt. And ditch the gray sweatpants. And not leave his door ajar when he’s in compromising positions...



Beau


In search of: roommate.

Must be non smoker and non douchebag.

Room payment to be made in meal planning, repairs, and dumb jokes.

Since my career took off, I barely have time to breathe, let alone keep my life in order. I’m naturally chaotic, make terrible decisions, and scare off potential dates with my “weirdness”.

So when Payne gets back into town and needs somewhere to stay, I offer him my spare room with one condition: while he’s staying with me, I need him to help me become date-able.

And while he does that, I can focus on my other plan: ignoring that Payne is the only man I’ve ever wanted to date.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Roommate Arrangement is a fabulous brother's best friend romance. As this is my favorite trope, I couldn't read this Saxon James gem fast enough. 

This is a wonderful story of second chances at love. 

Payne moves home after discovering his husband had been cheating on his for years. Talk about instant sympathy for him. 

Upon moving home, he finds himself with a roommate and that's when the fun starts. 

Beau's an amazing character. I adore his rambling, his unique behaviors, and how damn interesting he is. Of course, I also adore his crush on Payne and the way things develop between the two. 

Everything about this story works for me. Both men are charming, intriguing, and wonderfully layered. Bringing them together as roommates leads to some perfectly heart-warming moments that had me swooning throughout. 

And, omg, the coloring. I just found this part to be like a warm hug. I was completely enchanted by this and how much it illustrated their connection.

Just swoon. Love these two!

The writing is wonderful, as I've come to expect from this author. Written in first person alternating pov, the characters fully come alive.

Roommate Arrangement is a charming and riveting romance. Everything about this Saxon James book works for me. I couldn't put it down.
