Another Friday, another Cover Reveal!
I love how the red pops, don’t you guys? I’ve really been getting into Romantic Suspense lately, so I’m excited about this one.
Here’s a new release for you guys! Don’t forget to go and read my full review.
CURRENTLY AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED.
I get really excited when I find an author I like and even more excited when I find a series written by that author. The Vested Interest series by Melanie Moreland fits that bill!
Bentley, Aiden, and Maddox met in college. Each had their own hangups, but they became friends for life, leading to the establishment of their company, BAM (their initials). The way I see it, Bentley is the face, Aiden is the muscle, and Maddox is the brains. That’s not to say that each of them don’t share these traits, but these are their strengths.
This first book in the series focuses on Bentley, the man who established the corporation. He meets Emmy in a coffee shop; she is very different from the few women he has dated in the past. Their romance evolves slowly, but sweetly, as each of them have distractions and some baggage to work through. The pace of the romance allows the reader to really get to know the characters which adds a nice dose of realism to the story.
The “every day life” side of the story also works well, with an unknown business rival throwing roadblocks into real estate deals. I won’t give anything away, but it is a good subplot that lends a bit of action to the romance.
It’s a great book, and I’m especially excited that it is the first in a series, which is currently available in KU. I highly recommend picking it up and getting to know the boys of BAM. My Goodreads review follows.
Bentley by Melanie Moreland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Holy hotness, Bentley is a seriously book boyfriend to crush on! I love the way this author creates her characters. Bentley is more than the “aloof, rich guy” and Emmy is more than the “quirky girl who isn’t really his type.” They are fully formed people. Their romance is well-plotted, and the reader gets to take every step with them. This is a nice change from some of the usual “they meet, they fall hard and end up in the sack” romances. Not that there is anything wrong with those, it is just nice to have a romance with some depth sometimes. The subplot of a business rival is woven into the story seamlessly. Even though I had my suspicions as to who was responsible, there was enough tension and a few surprises to keep it interesting. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the stories of the rest of the guys from BAM. I received a copy of this book as a prize from the author, and I am reviewing it voluntarily.

Playing cards and tats…looks like a good one!
Happy to have you here on my stop of the Blog Tour for Training Tracey by L.M. Mountford. This was a hot, quickie, read. I posted
Every once in awhile, I like to take a walk on the dark side and read something outside of my usual genres. It’s not that I get bored with what I enjoy, I just like to explore. This book fit the bill as something that I wouldn’t normally pick up.
“Training Tracey” by L.M. Mountford is a coming-of-age menage dark romance. A married couple comforts their daughter’s friend and usher her into adulthood. The novella is short, SUPER-sexy and erotic as hell. This is not a deep, “get to know the characters” type of story. It’s an all out “get to the sex” story, and it works.
I’m glad I stepped out of my comfort zone to read this book. Check out my Goodreads review for more.
There are so many book genres out there these days that it doesn’t take too much to find a hybrid or mash-up of different types. One of my favorites is sports romances because (honestly) who doesn’t like a hunky sports figure who finds the right girl to tame him. If they don’t like each other at first, all the better.
“Want it All” by Elizabeth Perry starts with an absolutely cringe-worthy party; it also perfectly illustrates why the two main characters, Brock and Samantha, need to work together. We already know that I don’t give away plots, but the tension between the two is earned.
Books of this type don’t often have a lot of depth, but that isn’t meant to be an insult. It’s more that the reader doesn’t have to think too hard to follow the story. This is a good thing. The author throws a subplot in that kinda makes sense and kinda adds a little depth, and it works within the context of the story.
If you’re a fan of either sports or frenemies to lovers, this is the book for you. My Goodreads review is below.
