New Release: FINN by Ashley James


 


FINN 

Ashley James

Release Date: March 6 


Meet Ashley James:

Ashley James is a romance author who enjoys writing (and reading) LGBTQIA+ books. She is from Washington State—and no, not Seattle—and currently resides in South Carolina with her two kids and hairless kitties, Goose, Maverick, and Houston. Ashley is introverted and slightly (okay, majorly) awkward. She refuses to make this section sound like a tacky dating app profile, so she won't be telling you how much she enjoys music, how she thoroughly enjoys dancing and singing in her kitchen, despite not being able to carry a tune, and she won't be telling you about her love of toxic and broken fictional men.

Blurb:

Falling for my girlfriend’s twin brother wasn’t what I had in mind when I hired him to be my son’s nanny.

Working on my family’s cattle ranch, the hours are long, and sometimes unpredictable, so when my regular nanny quits, leaving me in a pinch, I have to think fast.

In walks Ash Tudor.

My opposite in almost every way.

He’s cheerful and bubbly, has horrible taste in music, and does yoga in my yard almost every morning in the tightest shorts I’ve ever seen.

Not that I’m looking.

But it’s none of those things that have me scratching my head and second guessing everything I thought I knew about myself.

No… it’s the fact that he’s a him and I can’t seem to keep my eyes away, no matter how confusing that may be.

I’m nearly thirty, and never once have I looked at another man the way I catch myself looking at him.

The feelings and urges growing inside of me make no sense, and then when he gets a special delivery to the house of items he plans to use on himself, I can’t stop imagining him doing just that… Or imagining me using them on him.

But confusion and curiosity aside, I can’t fall into bed with my son’s nanny.

Doing so would be reckless and irresponsible.

No matter how tempting it may be.

Blurb:

Working for a notorious mob boss like Anthony Costello for fifteen years has taught me a thing or two about dangerous men. I myself have been chiseled and beaten into someone to be reckoned with. And I’ve even come to relish in the pain, to crave it. But no one gets under my skin quite like Luca Rossi, Anthony’s right-hand man. I hate him more than words can express, I always have. He torments me and toys with me, just a plaything in his twisted and cruel game of control, until I’m feral with rage and barely able to contain myself.


But when a series of unidentified bodies begin showing up on our property and it becomes clear someone is trying to take the Costello family down, Luca and I are teamed up to solve the mystery. And working up close and personal with this man has me realizing that there’s no one in the world quite as dangerous to me as him. Because the real reason I hate Luca so much, and maybe even the reason why I hate myself, is because he’ll never really want me.

REVIEW TOUR - The Drummer's Heart by Penelope Ward

 



Title: The Drummer's Heart
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Rockstar Hero/"My Wife"/Small Town
Close Proximity/Slow Burn/One Bed
Release Date: February 23, 2025


BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE novel…

Don’t say her name.
That was the one rule my bandmates followed, because they knew how much it messed me up to think about her, especially on tour.
My ex, Nicole.
The one who got away and the woman who still owned every piece of my heart.
After our divorce, I threw myself into the rock scene, trying to forget my heartbreak.
Three years after we split, a phone call from Nicole changed everything.
She told me her grandmother wasn’t doing well.
Mimi was still family to me, and she apparently had one wish before dying: to spend time with us—Nicole and me.
With Mimi’s caretaker away on vacation, it would be the ideal time for us to move in with her for a couple of weeks.
Of course, I couldn’t refuse.
But there was a catch.
Nicole apparently never told her that we’d gotten a divorce.
She hadn’t believed Mimi could handle it, because her grandmother loved me so much.
So, not only would I have to see Nicole again, but I’d be pretending to still be her husband.
Two weeks in a tiny house in a small town with the woman who broke my heart. Or was it me who broke hers?
It was complicated.
And it was about to be a heck of a lot more complicated sharing one bed in the guest room with a woman who wasn’t mine anymore.

The Drummer’s Heart" is a beautifully crafted story, brought to life by the remarkable audiobook voice talents of Angelina Rocca and Sebastian York. 

Nicole and Atticus, once married, find that being apart has left a lasting ache in Atticus's heart. When Mimi, Nicole's grandmother, asks them both to come and care for her, the deep-seated love they once shared starts to rekindle. 

The chemistry between them is both magnetic and effortless, making their connection feel genuine. 

 This tale strikes a wonderful balance between angst and heart, unfolding as a touching story of forgiveness and second chances.



The Drummers Heart is Atticus’s book. His story was a bit hard to get into, with it progressing slowly between past and present moments. At over halfway through I started to get a better feel for the characters. 

This is a second chance romance, between the drummer of Delirious Jones and the girl he feels got away! 

Atticus and Nicole return to the town they grew up in to care for her grandmother at her request. It’s been three years since he’s seen Nicole or her grandmother Mimi. Needless to say the feelings they thought were suppressed head to the surface when in such close proximity. They need to determine what in life is important and make some decisions. 

I adored Nicoles grandmother, and the way Atticus’s bandmates are supportive of him. Can bygones be forgiven? Is a second chance at a happily ever after in the cards?

Not a bad read.

RELEASE BLITZ: Mr. Swoony by Piper Rayne



Mr. Swoony by Piper Rayne is now live! 


Hockey players were never my type.


At least, that’s what I thought—until I met Conor Nilsen. In truth, I didn’t know he was the goalie for the Chicago Falcons when he struck up a conversation the night of my bachelorette party.


He proved he wasn’t just some hot guy looking to score when he helped me get my drunk bridesmaid safely back to our hotel. That’s when he discovered my 30-before-30 bucket list—a list I hadn’t managed to check a single item off.


What was meant to be a night of stargazing turned into so much more. The chemistry between us was undeniable, and after one innocent night together, I started to question everything—especially my upcoming wedding to a man I wasn’t sure loved me.


Fast forward to my wedding day, and just as I’m standing at the altar, Conor bursts through the church doors to object. And now, somehow, I’m his roommate. Yikes.

Mr Swoony aka Conor is so swoonworthy and then some. Ahhh hockey romances are so flipping good, always some drama and entertaining moments to be had. This story is no different. Conor meets Eloise at her bachelorette party. He feels a connection he has not experienced before. Too bad shes getting married to some other man. 

He cant get her out of his head tho. Some decisions are made in the heat of a drunken moment.

Eloise doesn’t know what to do. She’s supposed to get married. 

She just wants to be herself and not conform to what others want for her life. Can she do that now? Live life for herself?

Conor and Eloise go on a journey of friendship and I have to say, having the friends they do, just made this book so  enjoyable. 

Its a book I couldn’t put down.
