RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW - School and Rock (Arizona Raptors #5) by R.J. Scott & V.L. Locey


Colorado Penn is living the dream. Starting goalie for the Arizona Raptors when in season, lead singer for a hard rock band when summer rolls around. He’s the quintessential free spirit who’s making sure he enjoys all the carnal blessings of his athleticism, and gritty singing voice. Now the Raptors are moving into their first playoff appearance in years, but the arrival of an unexpected package means that hockey may have to take a backseat to something way more important. Instead of the usual undergarments from adoring fans, he finds a newborn baby with a small note tucked under her carrier, naming him as the father. He refuses to give up his daughter and is determined to be the kind of father he’d dreamed of having. But to keep Madeline, he’ll need help, and he’ll need it fast. Enter handsome emergency manny, Joseph. They may be opposites, but Colorado starts to see that Joseph’s stable, calm influence makes his chaotic lifestyle choices seem less appealing. There’s something about the man that soothes not only his infant daughter but also the wild child inside Colorado.
Joseph is one year away from getting his degree in planetary science, working cover shifts at the planetarium, and pulling in income with short term manny gigs. Stars collide as he provides emergency childcare for the wild man of hockey, a man who moves so fast through life that he doesn’t know how to stop. Homeless, and caring for his niece, Emma, fate brings Joseph into Colorado and baby Madeline’s life. Madeline is a sweetheart, and Colorado is trying his hardest to make the best decision for his baby girl. He offers his home and an indecent salary, to keep Joseph in his life until summer’s end. Colorado brings mysticism and metal to Joseph’s sanctuary of science, but somehow Joseph needs to tame this shooting star and create a family. Nothing in the contract said Joseph had to fall in love to make that happen, but when it’s time for him to leave, will the void in his heart ever heal, or will it remain as cold as space itself?
And then there's Joe. Oh how I love Joe. His scientific mind that is always working and calculating was something I didn't think could work well with Colorado. But damn, it does.
Their story includes some hot first times and plenty of beautiful extended family moments. Hell, I love the big family that is formed. It is just such a feel-good read.
These two are an absolutely fabulous couple. They both find what was missing from their lives in one another. Though you will find some passionate moments, this story is all about the emotions. The development of their relationship is the key to this tale.
The writing is simply beautiful. These two authors continue to create mesmerizing characters who ooze charm and love. The authors excel in combining the chaotic nature of Colorado's life and career with amazing moments of calmness, romance, and love. And then they continue to add in some entertaining side characters who add plenty to the tale.
School and Rock is perfectly wonderful. I love every single second of this RJ Scott and VL Locey book. If you've been reading this series throughout, you will fall in love with this book too. Be prepared to read it in one sitting. And if you haven't yet starting reading this series, what are you waiting for? Just read them all and fall in love with everything these authors gift us readers with.

V.L. Locey loves worn jeans, yoga, belly laughs, walking, reading and writing lusty tales, Greek mythology, Torchwood and Dr. Who, the New York Rangers, comic books, and coffee. (Not necessarily in that order.) She shares her life with her husband, her daughter, one dog, two cats, a pair of geese, far too many chickens, and two steers.
When not writing spicy romances, she enjoys spending her day with her menagerie in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania with a cup of fresh java in one hand and a steamy romance novel in the other.

The Bond-Cut Omega (Nerds Who Knot #3) by Amy Bellows
Gabe spends every waking moment with Marcus. They co-own a tattoo parlor and share an apartment. It was Gabe who gave Marcus the vibrant bird tattoos all over his body. But Gabe never plans to tell Marcus about his feelings. Marcus deserves a bond.
Marcus may be huge, even for an alpha, but everyone knows he’s a marshmallow at heart. He’s not going to pressure his bond-cut best friend into a romantic relationship he may not want. Until Gabe’s heat starts early, and a series of accidents lead to a dangerous pregnancy that exposes their true feelings for one another and rocks the foundation of their friendship.
In a world where bonds are everything, can love be enough on its own?
The Bond-Cut Omega is a 35,000-word best-friends-to-lovers romance with knotting, MPreg, manties, and hurt/comfort. It’s a companion book for the Nerds Who Knot Series, but it stands alone.
Review
Apparently as a bond cut omega, Gabe shouldn't be able to bond with an alpha.
Theirs is a tale of insecurities, fear, angst, and a whole lot of emotion. This friends to lovers romance isn't a quick or natural one, despite the fact that both men have love been in love with the other.
The Bond-Cut Omega is quick and entertaining, in addition to being a unique take on Omegaverse bonds. Amy Bellows has managed to capture all the charm of her previous books in this Nerds Who Knot series. I definitely enjoyed this book.

Secret in Houston (Lone Star Brothers #3) by Susi Hawke
Houston is a hot, snarky omega who will do anything for those he loves. He’s only done one sneaky thing in his life, and that was going to come out as soon as his secret boyfriend, Cody, got home from his latest tour of duty. Once they announced their relationship to his family, especially his brother who was a former squadmate and good buddy of Cody’s, things would be fabulous. What could possibly go wrong?
…but then the alpha soldier goes MIA after a chopper crash while on mission.
Cody was held captive by insurgents after his helicopter went down. When he finally gets home a year later, he’s battling a severe case of PTSD along with partial amnesia. He has no memory of being involved with his buddy’s sexy little brother with the cute-as-a-bug baby.
Two men who started with the best intentions until life pulled them apart.
How can Houston tell anyone, let alone Cody, that he’s the father of his baby when the anxious soldier doesn’t seem to remember having so much as dated him? Heck, Cody still thinks of him as the teen kid who came to see his brother graduate from basic training.
Skip ahead a few years, and Cody is enthralled by Baxley, Houston’s sweet three-and-a-half-year-old son. He’s kicking himself for not having asked the guy out when he had a chance. What would he have to offer him now?
A simple lab test for a desperately ill child is all it takes for secrets to emerge and Cody’s world to tilt on its axis. Cody and Houston have decisions to make. It will take faith, hope, the support of family, and maybe even a lifesaving gift to make things work out.
This mm book contains mpreg, and intended for 18+ readers. Trigger warning: this book contains scenes of a sick child and an adult living with PTSD. Grab your kleenex because this 50k novel has triple the feels you’re used to from Susi Hawke, and definitely includes an HEA and all the laughs, naughty-knotty times, and family fun you’d expect!
Review
Susi Hawke's Secret In Houston is an absolutely amazing book.
We get to read about Houston and Cody, their backgrounds and how they move forward to their happy ending. Their story is full of tough times, heartache and hope.
When Cody returns home after being MIA, he has PTSD, as well as a lot of memory issues. In fact, when Houston arrives to tell Cody that they have a son, he discovers Cody doesn't even remember their relationship.
In a bold and gusty move, the story is then fast forwarded three years. Cody's story is full of pain, but those three years have helped his PTSD a lot. But, being with Houston again will help him even more.
My heart breaks for Houston, having to deal with the fact that Cody forgot their relationship, as well as having to deal with everything Baxley goes through. But Houston is one tough guy who deals with things the best he can.
My heart also breaks for Cody for having forgotten something that was so special to him, as well as losing time with his son.
Their son Baxley is adorable and his illness is gut-wrenching. I love the way that Baxley is written. He is so funny, so nice and luckily is one very loved boy.
I love Secret In Houston, as well as Susi Hawke's entire Lone Star Brothers series! I highly recommend them all, even to those who don't read mpreg. The mpreg part seems to always take a backstory to the relationships, and can be overlooked enough if you don't want to try mpreg.
