Rule Breakers Fall Hardest by Micalea Smeltzer is now live! 


Once upon a time, Daire Hendricks was my childhood crush. He was always there, saving me from his annoying brothers. He was my rock, my safe place from my overbearing family.

Until he wasn't.

Imagine my annoyance when we end up at the same university and I have to see his smug, too-handsome-for-his-own-good face all over campus.

Every time we cross paths, we spew hateful words at each other, so imagine my surprise when he seeks me out and utters the most surprising question.

"Marry me?"

He needs my help, and his solution is marriage. It's a pretty big ask, but somehow, I find myself saying yes. We might hate each other now, but the benefits of this arrangement are worth it.

But what neither of us expects, is when playing house starts to feel a little too real.

Falling for each other was never part of the plan, but you know what they say about the best laid plans?

They often go awry.


Review


5* read.

This was one of my favourite books by this author for a while. An Enemies to lovers, marriage of convenience, mixed in with a lot of drama from their past. Just how I like it.

This is Daire and Rosie's story. What I loved most about this story was seeing Daire mature and grow as a person. Rosie you fall in love with straight away but Daire takes some time to grow on you. Not in a bad way it's just that Rosie is more together and a really likeable character from the get go. You can't help but be drawn to her. Her and Daire together are fire. Even though they hate each other at first you can tell they don't really, but it just adds to the build up of their relationship.

I'm so excited for the next book after seeing who's it will be from this one.

Book 1 in the Fae & Alchemy Series

BLURB: 

From USA TODAY Bestselling Author Callie Hart comes a brand new, highly addicting enemies-to-lovers Romantasy with razor-sharp banter, heart-stopping action, and blistering hot romance that you won’t be able to put down!

Do not touch the sword.

Do not turn the key.

Do not open the gate.

In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn’t much a girl wouldn’t do for a glass of water.

Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen’s reservoirs for as long as she can remember.

But a secret is like a knot.

Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone.

When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares…but it turns out they’re real, and Saeris has landed herself right in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed.

The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher, a handsome Fae warrior, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own. He will use her Alchemist’s magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him… or her.

Death has a name.

It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate.

His past is murky.

His attitude stinks.

And he’s the only way Saeris is going to make it home.

Be careful of the deals you make, dear child.

The devil is in the details…

N.B. Quicksilver contains depictions of graphic violence/adult situations and is therefore recommended for readers 17+.




Review:

5* read.

I would read anything by this author but I have to admit until a few months ago I didn't read any fantasy books anymore and hadn't for a long time. I think because I read so many when I was younger I just felt that it was a genre I'd grown out of. Then I came across another authors book (Forth Wing) and fell in love and became obsessed with that whole romantasy side again. So when I found out that Callie's next book was going to be a fantasy read I was so excited.

Honestly this book had everything you could want. I instantly fell in love with the main characters, but not only that I fell in love with the supporting characters aswell. It's not very often that I become obsessed with not just the main characters in a book but with this one I did, I loved them all. Kingfisher was the perfect match for Saeris and the emotions they both made me feel while reading this is what i crave for in a book. I do love a good enemies to lovers, the tension and the banter, what more could you want.

The way Callie has built this world and the characters is a real testament to what a brilliant author she is. I need the next book like now please. I can't wait to find out what happens next. I can't say enough good things about this book, just that you need to read it.


Charming Deception by Jaine Diamond is now live! 


A steamy, one bed, fake fiancé standalone romance from Amazon Top 50 bestselling author Jaine Diamond.


When my brother’s best friend proposes we get engaged, I’m a fool to say yes.

It’s a fake engagement, because men like Jameson Vance don’t fall in love with women like me.


He’s a gorgeous billionaire, a marketing genius and a playboy, and he’s only getting engaged to please his family.


I’m an introverted writer, just trying to start my life over, and I’d rather mingle with the rose bushes in his garden than fall in love again.


But when we share a bed, our sizzling chemistry blurs the line between fake and real. And when Jameson turns on the charm, I can’t help melting from his growly whispers of “my wife.”


When he won’t follow through on the explosive tension between us, though, I realize there’s so much more to this fake engagement than meets the eye. Because my fiancé is keeping one hell of a secret from me.


I know I’d be crazy to trust him with my heart.

But by the time I finally feel his searing touch, I know I’m already falling for his charming deception.


✔ Billionaire

✔ Fake fiancé

✔ Only one bed

✔ Alpha cinnamon roll hero

✔ Brother’s best friend

✔ Playboy Prince Charming / Cinderella vibes

✔ “My wife”

Review

5* read.

This is the first book in the new Bayshore Billionaires series and therefore can be read as a standalone, although some characters from other books by this author do pop up.

This is Megan and Jameson's story which blends a lot of different tropes in one (best friends sister, fake fiancé, billionaire, etc). It's quite a slow burn romance (due to Jameson's challenge) but from the start you can literally for the chemistry and sexual tension burning off the pages. It does really build up their connection and story more. I don't usually enjoy slow burn romances but it fitted perfectly for this story and watching Megan grow as a person throughout this book was really fun to read.

I really loved this story and can't wait to find out what challenges his other siblings have to do.
