From New York Times bestselling author Kim Karr comes a brand new dramatic comedy of forbidden love and second chances.

Life is short. Time is fast.
No replay. No rewind.
That’s my motto.
And there’s nothing wrong with that.

That is until the day I turn 27 and everything changes. Suddenly, I’m expected to…

1) Move back to my hometown.
2) Stop partying.
3) Take over my family’s winery.
4) And get married.

Wait!
What?
That last one I didn’t see coming.

I’m Tyler Justin Ryan Holiday III, Northern California’s most eligible bachelor, and I don’t do monogamy. It’s just a wild guess but I’d have to say that monogamy isn’t going to do me, either.

My grandmother won’t listen to a word I have to say on the matter. And since the old battle-axe is still at the helm of my legacy, it’s not like I can blow her off. However, when she tells me whom she thinks will make the perfect bride, and then subsequently drops me at said bride’s door, I nearly lose my f*cking mind. Sure, dear old granny tries to sugarcoat the situation with a lot of glitz and glamour, but there’s no turning ash into fairy dust.

Paris Elizabeth Hollis Fairchild isn’t only the ultimate party girl and terrible wife material, she’s also my sworn enemy. We loathe each other. We have good reason. And it isn’t because our families are competitors.

Needless to say, I’m not surprised when the she-devil slams the door in my face—but it still pisses me off.

Apparently, she doesn’t know me as well as she thinks.
Doesn’t understand I’ve changed.
Doesn’t realize her rejection only spurs me on—makes me want to tame her, claim her, make her mine.

Then again, at 27 I’m no longer a lovesick teenager. I’m a grown-ass man with a big ego and an even bigger…never mind.

Paris says she doesn’t want to know how big I am, in any sense of the word.
I don’t believe her.
Either way, it doesn’t matter.

She’s a challenge I can’t resist. A temptation I can’t ignore. The woman I must have. We haven’t spoken in ten years but mark my words, she and I will be doing that and a hell of a lot more—very soon.

Life is short. Time is fast.
Replay. Rewind.
That’s my new motto.
And there’s no sugarcoating that.

***This is volume 1 in the Party Ever After series. Volume 2 will be released December 9th and Volume 3 on December 23rd.***

My Review

“Unrestrained. Wild. Out of control. This kiss was carnal, deep, desperate, and I felt dizzy. Breathless. Lost. Reborn. Whatever this was between us, it consumed me. Blinding me. Taking me to a higher place.”

“We were barbaric. Like animals. A sweaty mess. Crazed. Fire. Flames. A bonfire out of control.”

“Tyler Holiday was lethal. With every touch, every word, every look, he seduced me more and more.”

“Like two magnets, we moved closer, the zing of electricity that was always there between us seemingly growing stronger with some invisible tether. It felt like the walls were closing in. As if the universe wanted us closer than we were.”

ReWined Volume 1 is the first book in an all new series from author Kim Karr. This book is fast paced, entertaining and will certainly keep you on your toes.

Following the story of Paris and Tyler, ReWined Volume 1 is told from dual points of view. From the moment I picked up this book, I was totally sucked into Pairs and Tyler’s story. They seemed like such the perfect match, but something happened and it will be ten years before the two of them are reunited. You see, Tyler is about to take over his family’s business. He discovers that his business is in serious trouble and isn’t happy with the solution that’s being presented to him. Despite his feelings, Tyler will do anything to save his business, even if that means marrying the girl that stole his heart, but that he hasn’t seen in ten years. Sparks will fly and the tension is thick. So, all I can say is sit back and get ready to enjoy this fast paced and fun ride….

Since this book is such a quick read, there isn’t too much that I can say about it without spoiling it. Here’s what I can tell you: this book is a lot of fun. From secrets to lies to questions and explosive chemistry, this book has it all. Paris & Tyler’s story is so easy to get lost in. Their banter is exciting and the feelings they have for one another are more alive than either could imagine. Their story is filled with just the right amount of sexiness and drama to keep you begging for more. I just loved the push and pull between these two and am dying to see just how their story is going to play out.

ReWined Volume 1 kicked off this series to a terrific start. I can’t wait to get my hands on Volume 2 and see what this author has in store for Paris & Tyler next!

Welcome to Sweetbriar Cove: the home of feel-good romance!

Jenny Archer knows that fairytales aren’t real… so when a handsome Scotsman shows up on her doorstep in the middle of the night, she figures there has to be a catch. Like the fact that he’s tall, dark, and emotionally unavailable – and claims to be the new owner of her home.

The last thing Fraser Macintosh needs is drama. He’s traded the flashy art scene for a quiet life working on his paintings in Sweetbriar Cove, but he didn’t figure on his new house coming complete with a beautiful, stubborn caretaker, and her smart-mouthed niece.

They may be unlikely roommates, but soon, sparks are flying between Fraser and Jenny – and heating up the dark autumn nights on Cape Cod. But can Jenny open her heart to this rakish stranger? And will Fraser trade his bachelor life for this unexpected new family?

My Review

“He wasn’t sure why her praise mattered to him, but it did. On a dark night, in an empty house, far away from the reassuring buzz of his fans and hangers-on, her words felt true in a way he hadn’t believed in a long time.”

“It was like gravity had brought them to this frozen moment–some undeniable force that was beyond questions. Beyond words.”

This Kiss is the latest addition to the Sweetbriar Cove Series and is a feel good romance that is sure to sweep you off your feet.

Told from dual points of view, Sweet Kiss follows the story of Jenny and Fraser. Small town living might not be for everyone, but Jenny couldn’t imagine a better place for herself and the niece that she is raising. As caretaker of this amazing house, Jenny has been able to provide a great place to live and focus on the things that matter the most. That focus is about to change when a sexy stranger shows up on their doorstep. It turns out this stranger is the new owner of their home and is ready to claim it for himself….Fraser wants nothing more than to escape the bright lights and stress of the big city and is hoping that Sweetbriar Cove will spark his passion for art again. He doesn’t mean to be broody and standoffish, but he wasn’t planning for Jenny, or having to share his sanctuary with anyone. Sparks will fly and this unlikely trio will find themselves as roommates until Jenny can find a place her and her niece to call their own. Will Jenny and Frazer give into the sparks flying between them?? There’s only one way to find out….

Overall, I really enjoyed this story. I loved how smart and spunky Jenny was. I loved her fierce devotion to her niece Hannah and how she always did her best to give Hannah the life that she deserves. Speaking of Hannah, I just adored this kid. Not only was she brilliant, but she also saw all the things that Jenny tried to hide. She knew how amazing her aunt was and just wanted to see her have some happiness in her life and if being with Fraser would bring Jenny some happiness, then Hannah was all for it. And lets not forget Fraser. Not only was he a famous and talented artist, he also had a huge heart to go along with it. Sure he came off as kind of a jerk in the beginning, but he more than made up for it in the end. Once I got to know the real Fraser, I couldn’t get enough of him and couldn’t wait to see him sweep Jenny off of her feet.

This Kiss is the perfect small town romance to spend your afternoon getting swept away in. There’s passion. There’s light drama. There’s a great feeling of family and friendship. There’s steamy moments and one’s that just knock you off of your feet. All in all, this is the kind of romance that makes you fall in love from the first page and leaves you with a big smile on your face when you get to the end. This Kiss is a terrific addition to the Sweetbriar Cove Series. I loved seeing all the familiar faces and new ones too. I look forward to getting my hands on the next book in this series and seeing who falls under the spell of Sweetbriar Cove next.

My Review

One of the things I love about reading is discovering new books and new authors. Further To Fall is the exciting debut novel from author Catherine Cowles. And Catherine Cowles is definitely an author to keep an eye on.

Further To Fall follows the story of Carter and Austin. Told from dual points of view, this story will have you hooked from the first page and dying to see how the story is going to play out. I fell in love with Carter and Austin almost instantly. At first glance, Austin seemed like a total jerk with a side of alpha. I wasn’t too sure of him, but he quickly won me over. And Carter was just as sweet as can be. She was innocent in more ways than one, but had a fire inside that was just bursting to get out. Carter and Austin couldn’t be more opposite, yet they somehow became the best of friends. The journey to happily ever after wasn’t an easy one for these two. They had a lot of obstacles and fears to move past, but there was just something about this couple that had me rooting for them to find a happily ever after.

Overall, I really enjoyed this story. With a great mix of friendship, angst, sexy good times, drama and romance; this story hit all the marks for me. The characters were easy to connect with, even if they frustrated me at times. Carter and Austin’s story intrigued me and some really great push & pull. I also really enjoyed the added element of suspense that accompanied their story. The secondary characters also deserved to be metioned. I feel that they added a lot to the story and definitely have me wanting to see more of them in future stories.

Further To Fall was a really good read from beginning to end. I loved the innocence of Carter and the flaws of Austin. Their story isn’t just a romance. It’s also a story of letting go of the past and fears, learning to see past someone’s flaws, learning to communicate and finding love when you least expect it. Austin and Carters story is sweet with just the right amount of sexy to keep you coming back for more.

For a debut novel, I think Further To Fall was written pretty well. Sure there some bumps along the way, but nothing major or hard to overlook. I think this author has a ton of great potential and I’m excited to see where her writing is going to take us next.
