Handle With Care; Shacking Up #5 (Series)

Heat Level:🔥🔥🔥

In Helena’s newest book, Handle With Care, we meet Lincoln Moorehead, Armstrong’s brother and cousin to the Mill’s brothers. Helena does the Shacking Up world justice in this newest romance.

Linc and Wren have fantastic chemistry, while finagling the Moorehead Media world and dealing with the Moorehead family circus. Okay, they aren’t really a circus, but Armstrong is as close to an ape outside of a zoo that you might find.

When Lincoln’s father suddenly passes away, Lincoln is named CEO of Moorehead Media, even when he doesn’t want it, but with his MBA he is the most qualified to take over in his father’s absence. Wren Sterling has already been working at Moorehead Media as the PR handler over Armstrong’s many, many, many screwups and given Lincoln has been absent for the past decade, living in the jungles of third world countries, her contract is extended to make sure the face of Moorehead Media continues to look good.

There is an instant attraction between Wren and Lincoln, but unwilling to act on it, given how it appear to the public eye, they both try to avoid it, but it doesn’t take long for the strong chemistry to take over and they find themselves falling. However, a scandal that is neither of their doing, may end things before they really get going.

While you don’t need to read any of the other Shacked Up series, this reads as a complete standalone, I think you will enjoy Handle With Care more if you’ve read them. They do interconnect, pulling characters from each book, but Helena does a great job with backstories if they are referenced.

Handle With Care held a bit of a mystery in the plot, which was a fun twist, while combining all of the elements we have all come to love in a Helena Hunting book.

Hands down you will love this new romance and love this new addition to an already well beloved series.

Review – Phillip (7 Brides for 7 Blackthornes #4) by Cristin Harber

Phillip (7 Brides for 7 Blackthornes #4) (Series)
by Cristin Harber (Author)

This review is from: August 19, 2019 By Kay Daniels
Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Heat Level:🔥🔥

This is the fourth book in the Blacktorne series and each story builds upon the last. Each book is written by a different author there is a synchronicity between the stories that binds them all together, while giving them just enough difference to make them each unique.

While I’m familiar with the family and overall story arc, I’m going to say I connected with Phillip and Ashley the least. Phillip held a lot of great potential; a philanthropist with a big heart, the emotional connection between him and Ashley just didn’t sizzle in my opinion.

Phillip is seen as the black sheep among his brothers and cousins, at least in his eyes. As a philanthropist, running a non-profit camp that does not have the stamp of the Blackthorne name upon it, Phillip is known for doing his own thing.

When he literally runs into his ex-girlfriend, Ashley, while she’s hosting an annual fundraiser, it resurfaces their past. A past that they both haven’t faced in over a decade. Is it possible for a person to change in that much time? Is it possible to fall out of love when you’ve never really moved on?

Catch up with some of your favorite Blackthornes in Phillip.

Meet the Blackthorne men, each one as hot, fast, and smooth as the whisky that built the family fortune, and the yachts and race cars that bear their name. From proud Scottish stock, Blackthornes never lose. But, one by one, the seven sexy men in this family are about to risk everything when they fall for strong and beautiful women who test their mettle in life…and love.

Don’t miss these sexy, heartwarming, emotion-filled books by seven bestselling authors: Barbara Freethy, Julia London, Lynn Raye Harris, Cristin Harber, Roxanne St. Claire, Christie Ridgway and Samantha Chase.

New Release – The Prince’s Baby by Mckenna James

RELEASE BLITZ
Title: The Prince’s Baby
Author: Mckenna James
Genre: Contemporary/Royal Romance
Release Date: August 15, 2019

BLURB

Allison is carrying a secret more valuable to the royal family than gold.

Allison
The Prince’s baby is kicking in my belly, but as much as I love the man, I don’t dare let him know.
When I met Crown Prince Sebastian, he swept me off my feet with his irresistible charm and gorgeous green eyes. Not to mention those broad, sexy shoulders that would one day carry the needs of an entire country upon them.
But a powerful enemy of the Crown conspires to keep us apart, and to ensure the Prince’s reputation, I’m forced to abandon the only man I’ve ever loved.
When I look into my baby’s eyes, I see his father, and I can’t help but fall in love with the man all over again.

Sebastian
As soon as she won our first verbal sparring match, I knew Allison was the woman for me.
Being a Prince, it was rare for someone to stand up to me. But Allison was different. She was as strong and intelligent as she was beautiful, and I knew I had to make her mine.
We were so happy, but now that she’s disappeared, I’ll use all my resources to find her and bring her back where she belongs.

He’s gorgeous, charming, and irresistible – and he knows it.

We’re in competition for the same job and nothing will stand in my way.

EXCERPT 

When we’d finished with my last case, I asked the judge to be dismissed and turned on my heel to leave, only making it a few feet before Logan stopped me short with a hand at my elbow. My breath caught as I felt his mouth at the shell of my ear. It wasn’t uncommon for attorneys to have whispered conversations during and after a case to discuss details, but this felt more intimate. When he got close to me, all I could think about was him getting closer, touching me, kissing me. I’d never felt a stronger pull to someone
“May the best man win this afternoon.” My head shot up at his emphasis on the word man, in time to see him wink at me.
Pulling my arm from his grip, I said, “Oh, she will. Don’t you worry.” I could feel his eyes on my hips as I put an extra sway into my step, walking out. As much as he antagonized me, I swore I saw desire in his eyes.

New Release – Broken Knight by LJ Shen

“Everyone needs to read this book. “

– Harloe Rae, USA Today bestselling author.

Broken Knight, an all new standalone about first loves, betrayal and loss from USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen, is available now!

Not all love stories are written the same way. Ours had torn chapters, missing paragraphs, and a bittersweet ending.

Luna Rexroth is everyone’s favorite wallflower.

Sweet.

Caring.

Charitable.

Quiet.

Fake.

Underneath the meek, tomboy exterior everyone loves (yet pities) is a girl who knows exactly what, and who, she wants—namely, the boy from the treehouse who taught her how to curse in sign language.

Who taught her how to laugh.

To live.

To love.

Knight Cole is everyone’s favorite football hero.

Gorgeous.

Athletic.

Rugged.

Popular.

Liar.

This daredevil hell-raiser could knock you up with his gaze alone, but he only has eyes for the girl across the street: Luna.

But Luna is not who she used to be. She doesn’t need his protection anymore.

When life throws a curveball at All Saints’ golden boy, he’s forced to realize not all knights are heroes.

Sometimes, the greatest love stories flourish in tragedy.
