New Release and Review: Watch Me Breathe by C.E. Johnson
So I have been waiting for Whack's book since the release of Watch Me Burn. I truly fell in love with each of the guys (Everest, Gill and Whack) with Watch Me Drown, which was the first book of C.E. Johnson's I had read. I think Whack, a.k.a Lucas, has always been my favorite though. There's just something about a big tough guy who always has a cotton candy sucker that just gets to me. He is such a strong, tough, yet soft and sweet guy, what woman wouldn't want him.
Cover Reveal: Finally You by Claudia Burgoa
Claudia Burgoa has revealed the cover for Finally You!
Releasing: October 12, 2021
Cover Design: Hang Le
USA TODAY Bestselling Author Claudia Burgoa brings us a snarky and sassy small-town romantic comedy full of a swoon-worthy billionaire, a second chance romance and big laughs.
Every summer Mane Cantú came to Luna Harbor to visit his grandfather.
When we were teenagers we fell in love.
We promised to be each other's forever.
He promised to come back for me.
Spoiler alert: he broke all of the promises.
I grew up, but that big heartbreak was it for me. I built a successful lavender farm and a shop and that's now my only priority.
All is well until Mane's grandfather falls ill and all the Cantú family comes back to Luna Harbor. For good.
What's worse is that Mane's now famous. Like, real-life famous, not Luna Harbor famous. He made a name for himself with his band and he and his perfect face dare to open a bar next to my store with his bandmates.
Well, he may have started the war, but I plan to finish it.
Except now we're seeing each other everywhere, and I'm starting to remember the way we used to be.
Still, I'm sticking to my guns. I'm not falling for the prodigal son.
Until one kiss changes everything.

New Release and Review: You Loved Me Once by Corinne Michaels
I'm losing myself trying to save everyone else...
You Loved Me Once by Corinne Michaels is now live!
From New York Times Bestselling author Corinne Michaels comes a heartbreakingly beautiful standalone story about letting love in.
I'm losing myself trying to save everyone else...
As a doctor, I walk a dangerously delicate balance of being compassionate but not overly invested. The same is true in my personal life--love is a luxury I can't afford.
It isn't until Dr. Westin Grant breaks down all my walls and offers me a future, I find myself wondering if I'm brave enough to risk my heart.
When who I was and who I've tried to become collide during my clinical trial, the fate of one patient changes everything.
In a single moment, everything I've worked for is jeopardized. My integrity, my career, and even my relationship with Westin.
He loved me once, I just hope he can love me always ...

My Thoughts and Review:
This book is everything I have come to expect from Corinne Michaels. It is full of emotion. It is full of life lessons. Most importantly it is full of love.I loved following Serenity on her journey. She is such an incredible character. Having survived so much, trying to keep what fragments of her heart remain safe, just to watch things start to implode.
Life needs love. I think that is the most important thing to take away from this book. Life is just not worth living without love. Opening yourself up to love puts you at risk of getting hurt, but without risk there is no gain.
There were so many amazing characters in this book. For once though, I don't think there was a single one to hate or dislike. This book is emotionally a bit harder to read. It is totally worth every page of it though.

New Release and Review: Say Yes by Kandi Steiner
Say Yes by Kandi Steiner is now live!
Two strangers.
Two words.
One unforgettable summer...
When you're an artist, everything has to be perfect.
Or so I thought, until my professor told me my perfection was boring and unoriginal. Studying abroad in Florence has taught me one thing: I know nothing when it comes to what makes art truly beautiful.
So, with my professor's words in my ear, I step outside one evening and decide to say yes to any and everything I'm faced with until the sun rises.
Of course, I didn't expect him to show up.
Liam Benson, the broody, sexy, tortured artist from my class who I can't stand. He's got a sour outlook on the world and an ego so big no one could properly stroke it to his satisfaction.
When he finds out what I'm doing, he hijacks my "yes" night.
And after just twelve hours with him, I'm desperate for more.
But Liam is running from more than I could ever understand, and with his heart guarded and mind made up about life, I don't stand a chance.
I convince myself that we can keep it casual.
But walking away from him at the end of the summer is as impossible as painting outside the lines.
I used to think when you're an artist, everything has to be perfect.
Turns out everything has to be painful, and messy, and fleeting.
If only I'd known that before I fell under Liam Benson's spell.

My Thoughts and Review:
"I don't believe in love or hate or good luck or bad luck or mistakes, and I most certainly don't believe in perfection. Because life is just that-life. It's hard most days. Some days, it's okay. And in the end, you only have this very moment."-Liam Benson, Say Yes by Kandi Steiner
This is one of those books that will leave you with a hangover. While I could have, and would have loved to have devoured it in a day, I am also glad I read it at a slow leisurely pace, allowing myself time to fully digest all of the emotions this book will evoke.
I truly loved the nostalgic feeling this book gave me. I may have been just getting ready to start high school in the summer of 1996, and have never been to Italy, but there were still so many wonderful memories of that time brought back to me with this book. Worrying about long distance calls, disposable cameras, the bombing of the Olympics in Atlanta (ok, that one might not have been a wonderful memory but it helps make my point).
These characters, oh these characters...... Harley with her drive to be perfect, Liam with his no commitment attitude. Complete opposites, yet finding each other at a particular place in time and needing something from the other.
This book is full of so many emotions. So much angst. Harley with her minor physical disability. Liam feeling lost and afraid of loving. This book in my new favorite from Kandi Steiner.
Meet Kandi
Kandi Steiner is a bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing "emotional rollercoaster" stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance -- in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you're a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she's your gal.
An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women's Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her "freedom of press." She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.
When Kandi isn't writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, talking with her extremely vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys live music, traveling, anything heavy in carbs, beach days, movie marathons, craft beer and sweet wine -- not necessarily in that order.

Cover Reveal: Watch Me Breathe by C.E. Johnson
C.E. Johnson has revealed the cover
for Watch Me Breathe!
Releasing July 9, 2021
She’s a widow. And I’m not what I would consider a good role model for her young child.
It’s been a long road for me. I’ve been plagued with bad decisions and grief. You could say life sucker punched the wind right out of me.
Just like it did to the woman in the car that spun into the ditch right before my eyes. I helped calm her down until the ambulance came, and assumed I’d never see her again.
Judging by her wide eyes and the soda that poured into my lap when Montana Hutchinson delivered the drinks to my table at the town diner, I would guess she believed the same thing.
I thought we could be friends. After all, we have more in common than even she realizes.
But it seems Tana happens to be a magnet for trouble.
And I happen to be the kind of guy that can’t sit back and watch the danger unfold around her.
I’ll do anything to protect her and her daughter.
But every day I spend with her gets harder to push down the feelings growing inside of me.
Being with Tana not only proves I’m capable of love again.
I can breathe again.
Happiness isn’t something that everyone gets the privilege to have.
And there’s no way I’m about to let anyone take it away from me again.

That’s the way my love story began, but unlike the fairy tale, it ended with me standing in the cemetery, watching my prince get lowered into the ground, along with all our dreams.
Now he’s gone and I’m lost.
Until an impromptu trip to my family’s beach house has me spending time with Ryan.
With his help, I’m learning to live again and make plans for the future.
The only problem is, we both know they can’t include him.
So, when our time is up, we do the only thing we can do—go our separate ways.
Ryan
My entire life, I’ve felt like the waves in a raging sea—crashing and breaking, never settling.
Until Micaela stormed in like a hurricane, colliding into my life and my heart.
I thought she’d be my destruction, but instead she turned out to be my calm.
The more time we spend together, the more life she breathes into both of us.
But all too quickly, our time is up and she’s ready to face her future—one I can’t be a part of.
So, I do the impossible and walk away.
But life is crazy, and love knows no bounds. You might’ve thought this is where our story ends, but the truth is… it’s only the beginning.
LexiYou don’t find love... it finds you.
Alec is the steady in my crazy, the light to my dark. My best friend.
He might be the one for me, but I’m not the one for him.
He deserves to have a wife, kids, a home—the complete package.
How can I build those things with him when I feel so incomplete, afraid I’ll never be enough?
I lose myself in surfing and my art, desperate to find the meaning of my life.
Until Alec confesses his feelings to me, and a tidal wave of emotions threatens to take me under.
Because I feel the same.
But the darkness isn’t finished with me... not even close.
Alec
You can’t help who you love.
It’s always been her—my wild and carefree best friend.
I know she thinks she’s not enough, but she’s exactly my kind of beautiful.
But a girl like Lexi needs to be free, and I would rather love her from afar and keep my best friend, than love and lose her.
Then an unexpected loss shatters my world and all bets are off... proving life is too short.
No more secrets, no more waiting.
It’s time to make Lexi mine.
Mine to kiss, mine to touch, mine to love.
All. Mine.

But then Chase, my new roommate, is suddenly there.
He could be the perfect guy for me, if he wasn’t nursing a broken heart.
The more time I waste looking for love, the more I realize that what I want has been right in front of me all along.
Falling for Chase is the easiest thing I’ve ever done, but fighting for him is the hardest.
Because his past isn’t finished with him— not even close.
Chase
Love finds you when you least expect it.
I was only looking for a place to crash after having my heart ripped out, instead I found someone who turned my world upside down.
A girl like Georgia was looking for happily ever after, and so far my life had been anything but a fairytale.
I can walk into a burning building without thinking twice, but the spark I feel with her scares the hell out of me.
I can’t keep watching her look for someone else—not when I’m falling for her.
Just when everything starts to fall into place, I'm reminded just how messy and imperfect life can be.
When the smoke clears, it’s Georgia by my side. Life might not be perfect— but our love could be.
*My Kind of Perfect is the third and final interconnected stand-alone novel in the Finding Love series.*
