Review – Hot Heir

Hot Heir  (Standalone)
by Pippa Grant (Author)

This review is from: August 24, 2018 By Kay Daniels (Kindle Edition-Goodreads)
Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Heat Level:🔥🔥🔥🔥

I love Pippa Grant! She delivers books filled with humor, warmth, the right amount of quirkiness, a swoon-worthy hero who is rock hard on the outside, but gooey on the inside (sigh) and just plain fun that makes her characters memorable and fun to root for.
Having said that, even though Hot Heir had all of those elements, it didn’t live up to the Pippa formula I instantly fall in love with.

Viktor, having been a royal guard and living a steady, stable life has been all he’s ever wanted and enjoyed. So when news came down that he was now the heir to the throne of his home country of Amoria, his steady life becomes upended, especially when the throne comes with the entanglement of a wife. To be king he must have a queen by his side. An antiquated rule, but a rule nonetheless. If only he’d taken the time to date while he’d been working. With time running out his options are limited so when Peach shows up on his doorstep with a proposition he listens to her offer.

Peach is a co-owner of Weightless, a flight adventure company. You’d think that would be enough to keep her busy, but she is raising her little sister, her very troublesome-trying-to-keep-out-of-jail little sister practically by herself. Knowing her sister, Papaya, needs a stable home environment and the judge won’t grant her adoption because she’s a single woman seeking it, Peach approaches Viktor when she hears he needs a bride. It’s a temporary solution to both of their problems and they barely like each other as it is, so it shouldn’t be a problem to break ties once they each get what they need. If only they really hated one another their problems would be so much easier to solve.

I adored Viktor and the strength that he had for everyone around him. He never wavered in his commitment. Now…Peach and Papaya…well…I understand their relationship was strained, but everytime they came on the page, all I’m going to say is I wanted more Peach and Viktor because they were fun and entertaining and I’ll leave it at that.
If you’ve read other books by Pippa you’ll be able to catch up on some of her past characters in Hot Heir, but it’s not mandatory to have read prior books as I’ve still not had time to read all of them yet and I had no trouble following along.

EXCERPT 

With less than three feet to the elevator, the doors roll open. Relief floods my veins, cooling my hot, churning insides, but the feeling withers when long legs, curves, and tumbling raven locks consume my vision.
Maggie.
My insides are atomic, hot and fracturing into a million shards of emotion.
Anger slices my gut like a blade. This woman keeps popping up at the most inconvenient times.
Confusion. With her long cornflower-blue dress and leather jacket, hands laden with grocery bags, she is so out of place amidst the chaos.
Unease. I want her gone with a blink of an eye. Guys with guns are breathing down my back, and she’s now in the line of fire.
Resentment. What if she isn’t in harm’s way but also here for me? There’s no evidence to suggest she’s carrying out orders, but it would be a mistake to dismiss the idea.
My competing thoughts only make it harder to concentrate. I’ve got bigger problems with Drago’s men gaining on me.
I dive for the elevator, shielding her and we crash to the floor. I may not trust her, but I won’t have her blood on my hands. And if she’s here for me too, then I’ll deal with her.
“Get off me!” She pushes at my chest, oblivious to the danger.
I jump to standing and press my finger on the close button. Two Russian behemoths run our way, surprisingly fast for their size.
“Oh my God!” Her eyes widen at the guns aimed at us. “Shut the door!”
“What the fuck do you think I’m doing?”
My finger threatens to snap at the pressure I have on the button, and I prepare to fight if they get in the elevator.
The big guy on the left pulls the trigger and the bullet hits the wall. Her scream pierces the confined space and she wedges herself into the corner of the tin can. Terrified eyes bore into me as if I’m shooting at her and the elevator doors slide closed, separating us from the men.
I sink to the floor and rest my head on the wall for a beat or two, struggling to gain composure. It’sshort-lived with the heat of her savage glare burning my skin.
She slides her back up the wall, using it for support. “What the hell is going on? Why are they shooting at me?”
Her frenetic tone pinches at whatever is left of my patience, and I mash my lips together to keep from losing it. I could have left her in the hall with those assholes. They wouldn’t have thought twice about killing her.
Fruit—oranges, lemons, avocados and bananas—litters the floor along with fresh meat, a box of Oreos, and other groceries.
Needing a moment of peace, I close my eyes, licking my dry lips. It’s a mistake. She lunges for me, feral and violent, shoving at my chest. Her eyes are glassy with unshed tears, her long hair wild and cheeks flaming.
“Answer me, dammit!” She beats on me; her blows hurt, but not nearly as much as a bullet would. “How the hell are we going to get out of here alive?”

New Release – Reckless King

RELEASE BLITZ
Title: Reckless King
Series: Kings of Rittenhouse #2
Author: Maya Hughes
Genre: New Adult/Sports Romance
Release Date: August 24, 2018

BLURB

An irresistibly steamy college sports romance.

I’m Heath Taylor. Laid back. Easy going. Fastest guy on two skates and chill to a fault. Until Kara.

Three nights together and I’m done for. Her laugh, her smile, the way my hand curves around her waist. She’s the one. Not a doubt in my mind…until I walk into my last class of the semester.

Kara, the woman of my dreams, is my new instructor. My hockey season and her career prospects are on the line. One false move–if anyone finds out–we’re both sunk.

On the ice I’m a beast that can’t be stopped, but thoughts of her are throwing me off my game. My fingers itch to feel her in my arms again. But risking everything could ruin what we’ve worked so hard for.

Sometimes life has a way of changing the best laid plans. And sometimes you can’t stay away no matter the promises you make.

Life doesn’t play fair, but neither do I…
