Release Blitz with Review: The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by Elizabeth O Roark

January 21, 2022

The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by Elizabeth O'Roark is now live!

You don't really know a guy until you've vacationed with him...

When Drew Wilson's ex-boyfriend Joel "Six" Bailey asks her to go on his family trip to Hawaii with him just as her life is falling apart, she decides it's the perfect time to give him another chance.

The hitch? The Bailey family includes Six's rude older brother, Joshua--a hot-nerd doctor who has hated Drew since the moment they met and once suggested she'd steal the family silver.

Drew is determined to win the Baileys over and give this thing with Six a fair shot...but Joshua is making that difficult. Not simply because he is in her way at every turn, but because--as one tropical adventure leads to the next--she's beginning to wonder if obnoxious, odious Joshua might be the brother she actually belongs with.

Before I even begin to attempt this review, I just. need someone to answer this question: why didn't anyone tell me about this author before??? Did you want to keep her all for yourself and leave me out in the cold and not ever let me get the chance to experience her books??!! I feel so betrayed right now!! Well you know what? I found her all on my own and I have no intentions of ever letting her go.

Pop star Drew has been in the media for all the wrong reasons for the past few weeks now and she needs a break. Going on vacation with your ex boyfriend to try and fix things along with his family, is not the best idea in the world but what could possibly go wrong? EVERYTHING!!.

When a bump in the road prevents her ex from traveling for a few days, Drew is forced to deal with his family alone for the time being and that includes his rude older brother who wants nothing to do with her. But what happens when as the days get longer, fury glances turns into heated stares and a friendship turns into something much more?

Aside from some of the things that I didn't really agree with what the heroine did, I really enjoyed this book. I found myself starting to read a little bit slower as I got towards the end and I desperately wanted a long epilogue. These characters were messy and selfish at times but there was something at the heart of it and you held on to that knowledge because you knew it was going to be worth it.

If you’re looking for a slow burn forbidden romance, I highly recommend you go with this one.

Review: The Grump Who Stole Summer by Ella Fields

January 10, 2022

The Grump Who Stole Summer by Ella Fields is LIVE and FREE with Kindle Unlimited!

USA Today bestselling author, Ella Fields, returns to contemporary romance with an all-new angsty enemies to lovers standalone.

I never meant to hurt her.
Okay, so that might be a lie. The truth is, I just... panicked.

My soul died when I was fourteen, and there was no reviving it. But when the one person who’d tried made headlines, got dumped by her Ivy League college, and was forced to work in my bookstore, I began to wonder if I needed it when my heart beat faster at just the sight of her.

I began to wonder if I’d been wrong to push her away three years ago, and if she was as I’d hoped and feared—different. If maybe, she could truly accept a guy like me.
All of me. Every vile, cruel, tattered piece.

First, I had to find out a few things.
Would she still smile and laugh when I said something acidic?
Would she still melt beneath the pads of my inexperienced fingers?
Did she still want me as much as I wanted her?
And finally, could she ever forgive an undeserving prick like me?
Something told me I’d regret not finding out.

Told in dual POV, The Grump Who Stole Summer is a full-length standalone, enemies to lovers second chance romance. It contains some sensitive subject matter.

Ella Ella Ella. How could you? I was completely content with just having a girl crush on a heroine that brought out the very best in the story and what did you do? You gave me a moody, grumpy as hell, no manners or care in the world hero and you made me fall for him! With no warning and no reservations, I fell heart first.

Twenty-one year old Alice has had her fair share of ups and downs for the past three and unfortunately some of them were witnessed publicly. Hell bent on cleaning up her image and not bringing anymore unwanted attention to the family, Alice's mom has a new set of ground rules and plans for her daughter. That includes volunteering at a bookstore for the entire summer and having a curfew. How bad can that be? Well you know what they say: the past doesn't always stay in the past and Alice is about to learn that the hard way.

Charles Smith tries to accomplish the same goal everyday and that is to be left alone. Sometimes he succeeds, other times he has no choice but to walk away and go into his own zone. Nonetheless, he has no problem being a mean grump. But when the new volunteer shows up, Smith knows that his once quiet life, is now going to be a loud chaos he never saw coming.

As I said earlier, I really liked the hero in this one and even though he came across as standoffish with blaring neon lights to stay away, deep down you saw the real person that he was. He was different, vulnerable at times, kind when it mattered and he had his own story that touched you and made you fall for him even more. Now don't get me wrong, I would've loved to have seen some more flashbacks of the past with him and I think that certain things could've been handled better but everything worked out how it was supposed to and I'm happy about that.

If you haven’t read anything from this author yet, I really don't understand you! You want angst? She's got you. Heartache? She's there. Strong heroines and steamy romance? Just pass the popcorn, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride that she's going to take you on. If you're looking for a good slow burn enemies to lovers romance, I highly recommend this one!!
