READ WITH YOUR HEART by L.B. Dunbar - Release Blast

Release Date: September 3

Tricia Carter loves teaching, but as a high school teacher, her newest student puzzles her. 

When she calls home to discuss her concerns, she learns the child lives with a much older brother. 

She also discovers he’s her next door neighbor and dangerous. 

Complete with tattoos, piercings and lots of leather, he’s everything Tricia isn’t interested in. 

She knows all about the menacing-man types and she won’t be walking into the darkness again. 

She’s smarter than that.

Leon Ramirez never learns. 

Case in point is the woman next door. 

When his sister has issues in school, he can’t seem to stay out of trouble himself. Addicted to dangerous situations in his formative years, this former gang member just wants to live a simple life, work on cars, and drink his beer in peace. 

His vivacious, witty and tempting neighbor screams off limits, and he won’t dismiss the signs. He’s not that dumb.

When you don’t heed the signs, the heart reads between the lines.

Author note: A hot mechanic who quotes Shakespeare and the teacher next door leads to small-town suspense, swoon-worthy sexy time, and a second chance at love.

I’ve been accused of having an over-active imagination. 

To my benefit, this imagination has created over twenty novels, including the creation of a small-town world (Sensations Collection), rock star mayhem (Legendary Rock Star series), MMA chaos (Paradise Stories), rom-com for the over forty (The Sex Education of M.E.), and a suspenseful island for redemption (The Island Duet). 

My alter ego, elda lore, creates magical romance through mythological retellings (Modern Descendants). My life revolves around a deep love of reading about fairy tales, medieval knights, regency debauchery, and strong alpha males. 

I love a deep belly laugh, a strong hug, and an occasional margarita. My other loves include being mother to four grown children and wife to the one and only.

Speak from the Heart is an updated version of the original book called Sound Advice, i never read the original but I can tell you the updated version is a book you will want to one click, the title tells you everything about this story and Ms Dunbar couldn’t have picked a better title in my opinion.

This isn’t just a romance story this is a heartfelt journey that you will want to join, it’s sweet, it’s entertaining but must importantly it’s told from the heart. Small town and single dads was always going to make this a must read for me but I didn’t expect to be drawn in as quickly as I was, I was captivated from the first page and there was no putting down until I had read the final line of Jess Carter and Emily Post’s romance. Emily is back home for a visit to her nana what she didn’t expect was to fall for the single dad and his adorable little girl Katie. Emily made a connection with Katie from the moment she met the little girl who struggle with words and that connection had her butting heads with Jess from the word go so will this little girl bring Jess and Emily together or will the issues this father has dealt with alone pull them apart....
This book touched me on so many levels, I swooned, I sighed, I smiled and I cried and I highly recommend this gem of a read. Looking forward to more from the very talented Ms Dunbar.

I was hooked on this book from the first to the last chapter. I love books that are centered around small towns add in a single dad and it is a win/win for me; this is Jess Carter and Emily Post’s story. 

When Emily returns home for a brief visit to check on her nana, she is concerned to find her having health issues. The story was well written, the characters strong and easy to relate too. My heart went out to Jess’s little girl Katie as she struggled to express herself without words.  

As enemies, turn to friends, turn to lovers it was entertaining to watch their relationship progress. I loved how intent Emily was in helping Katie learn to express herself, she went above and beyond in her willingness and Jess really appreciated it.  

This was a heartwarming, romantic love story which ticked the boxes for me and is one I thoroughly enjoyed.

Speak from the Heart is a updated version of the original book titled Sound Advice by Ms. Dunbar and this version is even better than the first.

This story will absolutely speak to your heart. The endearing characters take us on a journey that is both sweet and heartwarming with the whispered wisdom from Emily’s grandmother and the continued references to fairytales because who does love a happily ever after? I know I do but sometimes it just takes the heart time to understand what is within its grasp.

Jess and Emily both have their own reasons that they have kept their hearts protected, but it is sweet, young Katie that quietly connects them. Katie is drawn to Emily, a stranger to her, and in that connection magic happens, voices are heard and happiness is realized.

This is not just a love story, it is a story of healing and understanding and it had a hold on me from the first page to the last.

I love everything about The Harrington Family but if I’m honest when I first picked this book up Billy Harrington wasn’t a man I liked but as I turned the pages I got to know the man behind the walls and I found myself falling for him.....

Billy’s life is about to turn upside down when he finds out he has a teenage daughter, it’s a shock especially when she strolls into his bar and calls him dad. Sadie has just lost her mum and has just moved into town to live with her aunt. Roxanne will do whatever is needed to keep Sadie with her the last thing she wants is Billy taking her away but Billy and Roxanne hate each other, they seem to butt heads over everything so how can they agree on giving Sadie what’s best for her, can they put their differences aside and become the family Sadie desperately wants .....

One of the great things about this story was getting to know Billy and Roxanne, getting to see the real people prepared to do what is needed for Sadie, this is an emotional read but it also heartwarming with the perfect mix of love, passion and humour,  it captivated me and I found myself wanting more. 

I love my times with this family and I can’t wait to see where this very talented author takes us next.

The Harrington’s of Blue Ridge are a fascinating family. I freely admit that going in I wasn’t too keen on William “Billy” Harrington, in fact I wasn’t sure I was going to like him at all, unlike his brother Giant Harrington.

After his divorce, Billy went off the rails, having dozens of one night stands and meaningless flings. It seems that is all about to catch up with him.

Suddenly finding out that he is a father to teenage Sadie is a shock he never saw coming; Roxanne is his enemy and to complicate matters even further, his daughter’s aunt. It also doesn’t help that attraction lied beneath the surface of the antagonistic relationship between Billy and Roxanne.

It was enjoyable to read as Billy and Roxanne come to terms with what life has thrown them. This is a steamy book which was also emotional and heartwarming. Although I was frustrated at times by both Billy and Roxanne and wanted to smack sense into both of them.

L B Dunbar turned my initial feelings for Billy around and I soon came to see that there was so much more to him.

Can Billy, Roxanne and Sadie become the family that they all so desperately need and deserve?

Release Tour & Reviews: Silver Brewer by L.B. Dunbar

Title: Silver Brewer: The Silver Foxes of Blue Ridge

Author: L.B. Dunbar 

Genre: Over 40 Romance Stand alone

Release Date: September 12, 2019

Olivet Pierson needs his land. 

Name your price, Mr. Harrington. 

She has her reasons, and this muscular mountain of masculinity isn’t going to get in her way. However, her heart has a different plan after she accepts his crazy conditions: three nights up on the ridge.

George Harrington is a quiet, giant of a man. 

No sale, Cricket.

He’s a war hero, a widower, and COO for the family brewing company, but his life lacks spontaneity. Then, she arrives, chirping away at him, roaming his body with those sky-blue eyes, and negotiating for something he won’t put a price on. Too bad his heart is immediately sold.

With the challenge accepted, this silver fox can no longer deny his desires for something a little different.

+++

Welcome to Blue Ridge where sexy silver foxes meet their match of feisty vixens.

The Harrington brothers are a spin-off from Second Chance, but don’t you worry, this over 40 romance can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

 

PP’s Bookshelf - “Sexy. Emotional. Angsty. Real. Honest. Heartbreaking. Swoonworthy. Heartwarming.”

Bibliophile Chloe - “Ms. Dunbar doesn't fail to amaze me with her writing of mature characters, still full of life, still wanting to find love and the holy hotness of the chemistry and smexy times!”

Cee Cee Houston - “L.B. Dunbar has found her niche. The over 40’s is definitely a trope she does extremely well.”

“Before you try to steal my land, perhaps you should learn a thing or two about it.”

I stare up at him as his expression turns virile. 

“I know this piece of property could earn you millions.” I look beyond him, taking in the small bit of landscape I can see around his broad hips and crossed arms.

“I told you, I don’t want the money.” He scoffs. “I’m talking about dirt under your toes. Wind in your face. Stars in your eyes.” His eyes nearly dance as though he has undisclosed information he’s waiting to share with me, and strangely, I want to know his secret. And though dirt under my toes doesn’t sound pleasant, it doesn’t sound terrible either.

Still.

Tell me. Tell me all your wisdom and woes. I swallow with the intensity of his glare and rub a hand down the thigh of my jeans.

“Okay, so I’m not Pocahontas. How would I learn?” My voice cracks, sounding meek. Teach me, Yoda.

“From the land.” He pauses. His crossed arms bulge before me and lift with the heave of his frustrated inhale. What would those arms feel like around me?

“And your land will just teach me?” Oh God. Did my voice just drop? Did I exaggerate your land, implying something other than the greenery around us? Damn Marcus and his damnable innuendos, but if this man means I can hike his landscape, I volunteer as tribute. “How?”

“Camping.”

“What?” I stammer. My mouth falls open.

“Camping. Three nights of roughing it and then I’ll think about your proposition. You break before that and no deal.”

My proposition? Did I proposition him? Can he see the images racing through my mind? I want to do all kinds of things to him, starting with the body part closest to me. My heart races, and my sweaty palms…sweat more. My breath catches.

Anything whispers through my mind along with the song “Colors of the Wind.”

My eyes narrow. My heart thuds to a screeching halt. 

This is crazy.

But I slowly rise, pressing up on my thigh as I stand. I come to my full height, which doesn’t quite match his, but with the help of the two step difference, I’m close. My gaze meets his fiery eyes. There’s one thing this man needs to learn about me. I like nothing more than to prove others wrong.

“Challenge accepted.”

This author is relatively new to me and I have no idea why I didn’t discover her earlier because she certainly writes a wonderful story with her older silver fox heroes. The silver foxes are all over 40 and that makes them so much more appealing and real as far as I’m concerned and I was excited to read the latest which is Silver Brewer and let me say this book was everything I expected and so more.

This is a romance that’s starts off on very shaky ground and it takes time for Olivet Pierson know to her friends as Letty and George Harrington know to his friends as Giant to open up and become friends before they finally become lovers.....
A book that has all the feels you want in a great read, it’s a second chance at love for this adorable couple even though some may thing love isn’t for the over 40’s this book will make you feel very different about that statement, Love is possible for all ages. I’m going to leave you with please one click this great read because I believe this is a MUST READ for all lovers of romance.

I have only recently discovered L.B.Dunbar and I have no idea why that is as I love her style of writing. The Silver Foxes stories for the over 40’s is a fabulous series of books that I have fallen in love with. Each book has left a smile on my face and Silver Brewer is no exception.

I particularly like that the characters are more mature than in the majority of books that I read. It’s wonderful to read a series about characters who are not in their 20’s or even 30’s; it’s such a refreshing change.

Olivet (Letty) Pierson and George (Giant) Harrington were such a fabulous couple, I loved them both individually and especially together.

What starts off slow and steady builds to a fabulous conclusion that had me captivated from the first to the last chapter. Silver Brewer is a well written, strong, second chance at love story with characters that will quickly burrow into your heart.

Can Letty and Giant survive living so far apart? Will their love be strong enough to overcome the obstacles or will the distance be too much and tear them apart?

Silver Brewer is a totally heart warming, smoking hot story that ticked all the boxes and had me smiling throughout. One click this little gem, I don’t think you will be disappointed.

I appreciate these stories because so often it seems people forget that you are never too old to find love and all that goes with it. Cannot wait for the next book in the series.

Silver Brewer was the first Over 40 romance I’ve read and it was pretty good!

Having read the Legendary Rock Star series by LB Dunbar, I was already a fan.

Silver Brewer intrigued me from the start. I love that George “Giant” Harrington is a mountain man who is also a CEO for a beer micro-brewery. He meets Olivet “Letty” Pierson when she comes to try to buy his land.

Giant talks Letty into staying up on “his” mountain for three nights by telling her he’ll listen to her proposal after that time. The book’s pace started off a bit too quickly for my liking but I stuck through it and ended up really enjoying the book.

Letty’s character got on my nerves throughout the book having me wanting to strangle her in parts. Giant is just that, a giant teddy bear. He’s sweet and such a gorgeous soul.

I’d definitely read more from this series to see what happens with Giant’s brothers.

L.B. Dunbar loves the sweeter things in life: cookies, Coca-Cola, and romance. Her reading journey began with a deep love of fairy tales and alpha males.
