Everyone knows the Bad Boys of Penwood University dominate campus life with their power to make or break anyone they want. Sadie Alexander never thought she’d end up on their radar. All she wanted was to escape her childhood, and Penwood was her ticket to a new life. But Theo Hudson, the number one Bad Boy and all-star football player, makes it clear he has his sights set on her.

She’d heard the stories, knew the warnings, yet Theo makes it impossible for her to run the other way. The harder she fights to keep her distance, the more determined he becomes to have her. But Sadie isn’t willing to risk everything she has worked so hard to achieve for a guy with a reputation.

The deeper Theo manages to slip into her life, the tighter Sadie gets wrapped up in the unraveling secrets around her.

In the end, Sadie is forced to answer one question…was he worth it?

Author: Laramie Briscoe

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: March 31, 2022

BLURB

Platinum isn't just for the rings around our fingers...

Everett James & Brianna Jenkins Thompson

As early twenty-something's we've lived lives most could only dream about. With the spotlight comes attention, and with attention comes expectation. When our record label decides it wants to shut us up, we don't realize we're in the middle of an over twenty-year-old war.

The name Bryson means nothing to us, but it means something to Reaper and Harmony.

After the last year, the stars in our eyes are gone, and we realize nobody will care more about us than ourselves.

Nothing has gone as planned.

An injunction, the past of Reaper and Harmony, the future of Grey Skies, and a possible baby on the way. There's so much against us that there's no way we can win, but together neither of us think we can lose.

Our whole careers have been standing in the shadows of greatness. Now we have to prove we're ready to step up and step out. Feet planted firmly on the ground, we're fighting for our lives.

BLOGS REVIEW

Platinum is book three in the NashVegas series and should be read in order to get the full scope of the story. It took me a minute to pick up the book since it was a while ago that I read book one/two, but wowzer EJ and Bri have had the test of times with their family, record labels, relationship and so much more for being so young. They are brave and smart on their plans; however, these labels won't make it easy on them. Past meet present with an event and it was nice to get a few chapters on Reaper and Harmony plus RJ. All I can say is that while I loved this trilogy I am really hoping that RJ gets a story in the future. EJ and Bri are a powerful couple that can make a difference in their lives and music industry. I highly recommend this series if you love Nash, Vegas, music and true life issues that society tends to hide in the famous world.

TITLE: SAY IT'S FOREVER

RELEASE DATE: MARCH 28TH, 2022

Synopsis

From NYT and USA Today bestselling author A.L. Jackson comes a close proximity, single-parent stand-alone romance about a woman on the run and the man who will do anything to save her…

Jud Lawson found me stranded in the rain.

Broken down on the side of the road in a deserted neighborhood with my piece of crap car.

I wasn’t looking for a hero, and definitely not one who looks like him.

An obscenely hot, mountain-of-a-man who screams danger.

But I have little choice other than climbing onto the back of his bike.

One look at Salem Aguilar, and I’m hooked.

The girl is devastation wrapped in a black, seductive bow.

A knockout.

A dream.

Turns out, she needs a job, and I need the help.

Now I have a vixen strutting around my shop, and I’m the fool who’s itching to reach out and take what he can’t have.

But neither of us can ignore the burning attraction.

The fire that leads to a kiss.

A kiss that has us falling into my bed.

The connection that has me wanting the one thing I’d never thought I could have again.

Because monsters like me don’t deserve love.

Only Salem has a secret, too.

She’s been running for years, and her past just caught up to us…

BLOGS REVIEW

Say It's Forever is book two in the Redemption HIlls series and each book can be read as a standalone. Jud Lawson has many demons and one of the reasons the family band of brothers started over in this little town. To say the least as possible this town sure can bring out the Redemption in people's lives. Salem is a brave soul fighting to survive and all I can say is holy sheep! That was a twisted discovery with not only her brother, but how the story came full circle. Guess that is why Black Magic can be a good thing or a bad thing! There is so much I want to say, but that would lead to spoilers. I will leave you with karma is a true thing and I highly recommend this story if you enjoy suspense, alpha men, brave women and small towns.

It’s okay to admit I’m scared.

Outside forces are working hard to tear us apart, but we’ve teamed up against them. It’s the internal struggles we’re battling that could spell the ultimate end.

When Ben makes a public show to prove how committed we are, I’m left confused as I struggle to figure out whether his feelings for me are real or if they’re part of the act.

As we spend time at his secluded estate in Montana, I start to question whether there’s really an expiration date stamped on our relationship or if we could actually find a way to make this work.

We were all wrong for each other from the start, but together we’re a tight fit. As he lets me in on the secrets of his past, I fear it’s those very secrets that have the power to tear us apart.

BLOGS REVIEW

Tight Fit is book three in the Tight End series and cannot be read as a standalone. Each book picks up where the other one ended so if you're fine with a minor cliffy read on, if not wait until all books are out to binge read the series at once. Ben and Kaylee have so many things trying to tear these two apart. Can they catch a break? Um, that would be a NO!

Never did I think this would occur (lips are sealed), but shocked is not even the word to describe it. Ben did everything he could from not only the spot light, but to show Kaylee it was not just for show and as the lines blur on what is fake or real they both have to decide if this farce will continue at the end of September. For some reason, I ended up singing, "Wake me up when September ends" it just triggered while reading. HAHA

Ben and Kaylee sure are in a Tight Fit as Vegas is dramatic and Montana was what they both needed (well okay except one thing), but can they save themselves not only for the farce, but for themselves when all odds are against them. Guess that is why they say, Vegas may the odds be with you! Patiently waiting to see what transpires in Tight Laced cause Ben sure has turned his image around and we all know Kaylee is the one.

Say It's Forever

A Close Proximity, Single Parent Romance from A.L. Jackson

Coming March 28th

“You matter, Salem. You matter. Look at you, darlin’.”

There was the charm all mixed up with the disorder that was at the heart of this man.

My chest squeezed and the blood thundered through my veins.

“Beauty. The meaning of it.” The words fell on a harsh exhale from his lips, and the air that was barely skating up my throat died right there when he slowly toed off the dress shoes he wore.

Obsidian eyes flashed like a rush of the darkest night, rough as they devoured me from across the space.

Without looking away, he leaned down and peeled the socks from his feet.

I gulped, then I was nearly passing out when he ticked through the buttons on his shirt and peeled that off, too.

The man was nothing but wide, wide shoulders. Muscle everywhere, bulky on his arms and chest, his abdomen packed, tapering down and narrow at the waist.

Most all of his skin was covered in ink that seemed to scream the same as the walls, though it remained indistinct in the minimal light cast down from the rafters.

But I could make out enough to get the intonation.

The pure intimidation.

Menace and peril and life.

The mountain of a man stood there for a moment, then he took a step forward.

Energy rushed across the floor.

He approached like a phantom. Like a painting that had come to life.

It covered me whole and caressed me in shadows.

I was right. This man was definitely, definitely dangerous.

There was no question about it then.

And still, I remained there, held in his gaze, feeling the safest I’d ever felt.

I thought he was coming for me, only he slipped by on his bare feet.

Desire rippled through on his wake.

God, that was sexy, too.

Jud Lawson was an anomaly.

Conflict and peace.

Harmony and dissention.

A blinding light in the longest night.

Stealer of heart and sanity and good sense.

Because remaining there on the ground like an offering?

Posing for him?

There was no question I’d lost my mind.

His aura rippled through the room as he moved over to the wall that I faced. He pulled an easel closer, and the canvas he set on it looked like it’d been painted over a thousand times. He knelt to open a few jars of paint.

He picked up a brush and studied me.

I trembled beneath his watch.

“Beauty,” he rumbled. “Second I saw you out in the rain. Thought I had to be imagining things. Hallucinating.”

“I was terrified,” I admitted, our voices dancing through the condensed air.

Louder than they should be.

The thrumming of our hearts was palpable.

Frantic beats that echoed against the other.

A smirk ticked at the corner of his sexy mouth, then it slipped when he glanced at me then to the canvas. He began to paint. Quick, sweeping strokes, as if the images fell from him without thought. “I felt your fear, Salem. I felt your desperation. Wonder if I felt it then, that we were bound to be more than strangers. Wonder if I knew you were supposed to be on the back of my bike that night. Wonder if I knew you were going to become something that mattered in my life.”
