RELEASE BLITZ: In the Gray by B.B. Reid

Posted on June 8, 2023 by Amy-OUABB

In the Gray by B.B. Reid is now live!

ATLAS

I know what they say. Grief makes you do things.

After the year I’ve had, I’m bathing in it.

Dad’s dead.

Mom is…mom.

My boyfriend and best friend are too busy screwing to comfort me.

When a letter arrives with no return address telling me where to go for a new start, I

don’t hesitate.

I pack some clothes and what’s left of my life and run.

But I didn’t expect the fire waiting for me when I arrived. I didn’t count on the burn.

Rowdy Wray.

They call him the lion of Idlewild.

Me…I call him boss.

He’s the key to my past and the path to my future.

What happens next is our twisted secret.

ROWDY

Who is this girl?

Atlas Beck.

This damaged young thing shows up at my place of business and tells me she’s my new

receptionist.

I should have fired her.

I would have fired her if she hadn’t begged so beautifully.

Atlas told me not to let her go, but she didn’t know what she was asking. And now?

It’s too late to put the crazy back in its cage.

Release Blitz with Review: Corrupting The Innocent by P. Rayne

Posted on June 8, 2023 by Amy-OUABB

Corrupting the Innocent by P. Rayne is now live!

Sofia Moretti
For years, I’ve harbored a secret love for my best friend’s older brother. Yet, he’s never shown any sign of sharing my feelings.

My fantasies will remain just that though—fantasies. For two reasons. The first being he’s arranged to marry the cunning and cold-hearted, Aurora Salucci. The second being that Antonio always does what his duty demands, and if his father wants him married to Aurora, he’ll marry her.

Now, I’m forced to watch her parade him all over the Sicuro Academy, our private college for mafia children, as my feelings of loneliness grow.

I do my best to push Antonio from my mind and when another man shows me interest, I hope he’ll help me move on from the man that will never be mine.

Turns out it doesn’t quite work that way though.

Antonio La Rosa
My life has been a series of duties—to the mafia, to my father, but never to myself.

That’s why my father arranged my engagement to Aurora Salucci. We’re a good match as far as mafia politics go but it leaves a lot to be desired for me. She’s nothing I’ve ever wanted in a wife with her hard edges and being about as malleable as granite.

Then there’s Sofia Moretti, my little sister’s best friend. I never looked at her with anything other than sisterly affection, until recently.

Now, she consumes my every thought. My every desire.

Her innocence beckons me, and I yearn to be the one who taints it.

But I have a duty. And that duty means prioritizing my family’s needs above my own.

And right now, the family needs me to uncover the traitor plotting against us. Little do I know, the enemy is closer than I ever imagined.

MY REVIEW

“He kisses me like he wants to possess me – deep and thorough and full of need.”

The Mafia Academy from P. Rayne is becoming one of my go-to mafia series and Corrupting the Innocent is no exception.

For years, Sofia Moretti has had feelings for her best friend’s brother, but he’s never given an indication that he sees her the same way. Knowing that Antonio La Rosa is bound by duty and will always do what’s best for the family, Sofia decides that it’s time to move on. And it’s at that very moment that everything changes and turns both of their worlds upside down.

Corrupting the Innocent pulled me in from the very first page and blew my expectations out of the water. Bound by duty, Antonio would always do what is expected of him, even if that meant marrying someone he didn’t love. He’s tough and fierce, and boy oh boy, is he ever an alpha. And Sofia, well, I adored her innocence. She was so sweet and had such a big heart, but also wasn’t afraid to express her opinion. Together, this unlikely pair made for some explosive chemistry and delicious angst-filled moments.

The road to happily ever after for Antonio and Sofia definitely isn’t an easy one. Their journey is filled with lots of will they/won’t they moments, duty, and a whole lot of unexpected twists and turns. One thing’s for sure, their story is going to keep you on the edge of your seat, begging for more.

Corrupting the Innocent is a fantastic addition to the Mafia Academy series and I can’t wait to see what P. Rayne has in store for us next!

Excerpt

I’d never seen Scott so nervous. I’d seen him upset, angry, worried, and shocked—heck, I’d even seen him depressed—but never nervous. Not fun nervous, anyway.

He sucked in a breath and began. “Before I met you, I had no idea what being in love was like. I thought I knew, but I didn’t have a clue. Being with you has taught me so much these past few years. Not only are you the most gorgeous creature I have ever laid eyes on …” He smirked, his eyes dancing with erotic thoughts, something I saw whenever he was “in the mood,” which was pretty much all the time. “And sexy as hell, but you are braver than anyone I’ve ever known.” A shadow fell over his face. “On top of that, and even after all you have been through, you still have the biggest heart. Being with you makes me want to be a better person.” He shook his head and exhaled. “I find myself imagining things that I never thought I’d ever want.”

“Like what?” The words tumbled out of my mouth like a five-year-old with no self-control.
The corners of his luscious lips twitched upward. “Well, for starters … a house … with kids … a dog. The thought of you mothering my children someday makes me believe that dreams can come true.” He looked down for a moment and shook his head again before pinning my gaze with his vibrant blue eyes. “I realize you’re too good for me. And I also know that I don’t deserve you, but fuck if that’s going to stop me from asking you the most important question of my life.” He inched closer, his irises locking me in place, his voice low and imploring. “After we graduate next spring, Sara Browne, will you do me the honor of being my wife?”

My eyes welling with tears, I leaned forward and fell into his big, burly arms, his musky scent welcoming and his lips tapping tiny kisses against my head and cheek. “Of course, I will. I can’t imagine anyone else as my husband or the father of my children. So, yes, yes, yes,” I said, giddy and slightly dizzy from the emotions swirling through my head, my heart, and every cell of my body.

Release Blitz: I’ll Always Be With You by Monica Murphy

Posted on May 18, 2023 by Amy-OUABB

I’ll Always Be With You by Monica Murphy is now live!

New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy returns to Lancaster Prep with a new enemies to lovers romance…

Weston Fontaine is the hottest senior at Lancaster Prep.

And he knows it.

He’s gorgeous. Confident. Smart.

Too smart.

Everyone loves him. He could have any girl on campus, except for one.

Me.

I’m a Lancaster, meaning I’m basically untouchable–or so I thought. It’s my family who owns this God forsaken private school that I don’t want to attend. But according to my parents, I have to endure my senior year at Lancaster Prep before I can return to what I love the most: ballet.

West doesn’t make my time here easy. He’s arrogant. Crude. Insufferable. He torments me in the worst way, to the point that I can’t stand him. Yet he’s the only boy I’ve ever let touch me…

You see, West and I? We share a secret. On a hot summer night in Paris, we hooked up. And I never do that. Ever. I revealed parts of myself to him I’ve never shown anyone else. He’s seen me at my most vulnerable. I told him my secrets. And he told me his. In Paris, he was sexy. Protective. Even dare I say…sweet.

Now he’s the villain in my story, yet I can’t help but chase after that feeling only West can give me. Despite our hatred for each other, we somehow burn brighter when we’re together. So what happens when you helplessly fall for the one person you know is bad for you?

If you’re like me, you go ahead and fall for him anyway.

RELEASE BLITZ: Vow of Revenge by P. Rayne

Posted on April 27, 2023 by Amy-OUABB

The first book in P. Rayne’s upcoming Mafia Academy series features an enemies-to-lovers arranged marriage between Marcelo Costa and Mirabella La Rosa while they attend college at the secretive and private Sicuro Academy.

Vow of Revenge by P. Rayne is now live!

Nothing ruins a perfect day like your dead fiancé showing up in the middle of your first class.

Mirabella La Rosa
When my father arranged for me to marry the next in line to lead the Costa crime family, I swore I’d do anything to escape that fate. I have way more to offer my family than being some man’s arm candy, producing heirs, and making appearances at weddings and baptisms.
Marcelo Costa might be my fiancé, but he’ll never be my husband.
Somehow, I get lucky because he and his father are killed in a car bombing. Not only do I not have to go from being a mafia princess to a mafia wife, but now I can attend college at the Sicuro Academy–an affluent private college created for mafia children like me.
I’m so excited. I’ve moved into my dorm room with my best friend, put on the uniform and am ready to learn. But all my plans come to a screeching halt when he shows up on campus alive and well, seeking revenge on those that crossed him.

Marcelo Costa
The look of shock on my fiancée’s face when I walk into the classroom at the Sicuro Academy gives me more pleasure than it should.
Mirabella made it clear she didn’t want to marry me, and she’s a problem to be dealt with for sure. But now, she’s the smaller of my two problems.
The only reason I’m at the Sicuro Academy is because my investigation into the bomb that killed my father and almost took me out has led me here.
So I’ll allow Mirabella to stay at the academy while I track down my father’s murderer, but once I’ve brought that person to my own particular brand of justice I’ll remove her from campus and make her my wife.
And no amount of pleading on her part will change my mind.

RELEASE BLITZ – Nocticadia by Keri Lake

Posted on April 25, 2023 by Amy-OUABB

RELEASE BLITZ

Title: Nocticadia

Author: Keri Lake

Genre: Dark Academia Gothic Romance

Release Date: April 25, 2023

BLURB

Mortui vivos docent.

The dead teach the living.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I’d find the cure for what ravaged her. And leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me.

Four years later, I receive an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest, most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it’s rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before. Those whose bones are said to make up the island’s white sandy shores.

And restless ghosts aren’t even its most daunting peculiarity.

Devryck Bramwell, known on campus as Doctor Death, is a brilliant pathologist in charge of the midnight lab. He’s also my devastatingly handsome professor, who seems to loathe tenacious first-years, like me. Except, his dark and enigmatic gaze tells me all the ways he’d devour me if given the chance, and his stolen kisses burn my lips with forbidden jealousy.

I crave his authority.

He aches for redemption.

Together, we’re toxic. Delicious fodder for the prying eyes hellbent on exhuming the rotted skeletons of our pasts.

For the dead have much to teach, and it’s only a matter of time before Dracadia’s most depraved secret is resurrected.

Release Blitz for A Shot Of Pretty Poison by Kelsey Clayton

Posted on April 13, 2023 by Amy-OUABB

I can still taste her on my lips, lingering there like a shot of pretty poison.

A Shot of Pretty Poison, an all-new angst-filled, brother’s best friend, new adult romance and the final book in the Pretty Poison Trilogy from USA Today bestselling author Kelsey Clayton is available now!

I can still taste her on my lips, lingering there like a shot of pretty poison.

I should hate her for what she did. No one would blame me for it—not even her brother. The pain I felt that day ripped me apart until all that remained was the shell of the man I used to be. And now I’m left to lie in the aftermath.

Devastating news has my life spiraling further out of control. If I don’t get a handle on it, I could end up losing it all. But nothing cuts deeper than the shards of a broken heart, and the scars that won’t fade make it hard for me to care.

Everything changed for us when tragedy struck. The events of that night still haunt all of our dreams. We think the darkest moments are behind us, leaving a black stain on our past, until we realize that this nightmare is far from over.

Someone is out there who knows our secrets and gets off on risking the lives of those I love most. You can’t trust anyone, especially when your enemies crave the taste of revenge, but we’re not going down without a fight.

I’ll burn the world to the ground before I let anyone hurt her—even if she’s responsible for hurting me.

Release Blitz for A Drop Of Pretty Poison by Kelsey Clayton

Posted on March 30, 2023 by Amy-OUABB

They say that when a love burns too bright, it’s bound to burn out—especially those wrapped in secrets and doused in lies.

A Drop of Pretty Poison, an all-new angst-filled, brother’s best friend, new adult romance and the second book in the Pretty Poison Trilogy from USA Today bestselling author Kelsey Clayton is available now!

They say that when a love burns too bright, it’s bound to burn out—especially those wrapped in secrets and doused in lies.

After a risk is taken and a confession is made, one relationship heats up while another hangs in the balance. When everything rests on shaky ground, we find the stability we need tangled up in each other. Guards are let down and trust is repaired, but all vulnerability comes with a side of weakness. And the betrayal that hits us is one we never saw coming.

Revenge is a dangerous game, especially when fueled by jealousy. We’ll do whatever it takes to protect our own, even if it means seeking help from unlikely sources. While every favor comes at a price, choices made in distress have a tendency to backfire.

As our world comes crashing down around us, loyalties are put to the test. Nothing should be able to shatter the promises we made, but there’s a fine line between tenacious and toxic.

Someone should’ve warned us that even a drop of pretty poison will spread until all that’s left are shattered pieces and broken memories.
