Foreword PR Presents: Deke by Eden Finley; #ReleaseBlitz, #NowAvailable, #OutNow, #TBR, #Live, #Review, #Giveaway


Release Date: January 9, 2019
Cover Design: Kellie Dennis / Book Cover by Design
Rating:  4 Stars
Told in the first person.  Alternating persons.


Disclosure of Material Connection:  I received this book for review from Foreword PR & Marketing and the author.  I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review.  The opinions I have expressed are my own.  I am posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255:  "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising".

Synopsis:

Ollie

Word of advice: don’t come out to random guys in public restrooms. Even if they’re charming and adorably nerdy and offer to help.

My family believe I can’t be happy if I’m not out to the world. I have a bitter ex-boyfriend and an unstable NHL career to show for it. A fake boyfriend seems like an easy and quick solution to get my family off my back, and this guy is volunteering. I take him up on it without asking his name.

I really should’ve asked for his name.

Lennon

Word of advice: learn how to introduce yourself properly.

In my defense, I don’t recognize Ollie Strömberg right away. I cover football, not hockey.

I’m not supposed to see him again, and he’s never supposed to find out I’m a reporter.

That all changes when my editor reassigns me.

It’s a lesson I should’ve learned by now. Nothing’s changed since high school. Jocks still hate nerds. But even worse, athletes hate journalists. Especially ones who know their secret.

Goodreads

 

My Thoughts:

Oliver “Ollie” Stromberg may show that some things seem to have changed but you may have to look a little deeper to see the actual truth. Lennon Hawkins just wanted to help someone out. This story is a pleasant surprise. Full disclosure, I’m not a fan of hockey. When I was much younger, our family used to go to the local hockey team games. But I could never figure out the fascination and I saw it as one of the rougher sports.

This may be a work of fiction but the author has created aspects that seem very plausible. Our world may be changing but some changes take a little longer. And haters will probably never go away – but they take a backseat for this story. I liked the fact that our author took Lennon’s job and showed that some actually care about what they write – especially in the age of “fake news”. A secondary character I think you’ll like is Jet – he’s snarky and does a great job at keeping things light.

If you’re a fan of sports romances you may find something to like about this one. We have two people that start with an awkward situation and watch to see if a relationship can blossom. This story may be about two men but everyone deserves a chance at that happily ever after. I got so into the story that it made no difference to me. The author even has me rethinking the whole hockey thing – not really but I’m one that doesn’t mind reading about it. In no way did I feel that the other books in the Fake Boyfriend series need to be read first. This book can stand on its own.

There’s no way you can miss the chemistry that builds between our main characters. To make it seem real we see how miscommunication can affect a budding romance. Just like any relationship there can be corny moments as well as exciting ones and our author does a great job in showing that. But one question keeps coming up, “what are they going to do?” It continues to come up almost to the very end. Then it ends with the question “what is the author going to do?” And I can’t wait to find out.

Excerpt:


“You want to watch a movie or something?” Ollie asks.
“A movie?” The bedside clock reads well past midnight, and I should go back to my hotel and get some sleep. Do I move to do that though? Of course not, because I always do questionable things around Ollie, starting with offering to be his fake boyfriend for a family dinner. “What about your roommate?”
“I’m allowed to have gay friends, Lennon.” His eyes seem uncertain, as if he doesn’t quite believe himself. “Or, I dunno, tell him you’re writing another article.”
This is walking a fine line, and I get the feeling if I stay, shit’s gonna get messy.
“I could stay for a movie.” Apparently, my mouth decides to send a big fuck you to the warnings running through my head. “What’ve you got?”
He taps away on his screen and pulls up a selection.
“Should’ve pegged you for an action, no brains needed, type of guy,” I say.
“Fine then.” He taps some more and pulls up a different folder filled with titles like Donnie Darko, Sin City, and Get Out.
“Ugh. Way too far the other way,” I complain.
“Are you the Goldilocks of movies? Here, look for whatever you want.” He passes me his tablet.
I scroll through the genres in his movie file, clicking on a few things but going back to the main folder seconds later. Ollie makes impatient noises, which makes me even pickier. He’s kind of hot when he’s snarky.
When I scroll down further, a folder catches my eye labeled in capital letters: PORN. “Good to know you don’t even try to hide your stash.”
I jokingly go to click on it, but he must think I’m actually gonna do it. A large hand wraps around my wrist, his grip firm but not painful, and I laugh.
“Calm down. As interested as I am to open it, it’s kind of like Pandora’s box. There could be clown porn in there or something, and then you’re not the one who’d be scarred for life.”
“Clown porn?” he asks while practically choking.
“There’s some really weird shit out there.”
He lets go of my hand. “What I want to know is what you’ve been looking up if you landed on clown porn.”
“It started out looking at guys in drag, and it went downhill from there.”
Ollie pulls back as if contemplating that. “Drag queens, huh? Is that your thing?”
“Oh, we are so not getting into this.” And I’m so not confessing the drag thing was out of curiosity. My true fantasy is jocks. Exactly like him. Not going to tell him that either. “You won’t let me see your collection, so you get nothing from me.”
He thinks about it for a moment before turning to me. “Well, now I want you to look. I feel like I need to defend my porn choices.”
Is he seriously suggesting I watch his porn? With him … like … right there?
The smug challenge in his eye almost has me pushing the button, but the slight blush on his cheeks makes me think he’s bluffing. God, I want to know what he’s into …
No! Bad Lennon.
That would only add to the conflicting feelings I already have for Ollie.
The icon mocks us as we stare at it, and then each other, and then away. God, we’re pathetic.
I click on the folder labelled Classics just so we can get away from temptation. My entire face lights up. “Wait. You think Thor is a classic? Where are the real ones like Cool Hand Luke and The Princess Bride? This is even more disturbing than your porn choices.”
“Hey, you never saw my porn choices.”
“I’m still going with clown porn.”

Foreword PR & Marketing Presents: Hunter by Eden Summers; #ReleaseBlitz, #NowAvailable, #OutNow, #Live, #Review, #Giveaway


Release Date: February 27, 2018
Cover Designer: Letitia - RBA Designs
Photographer: Stas Vokman
Model: Konstantin Kamynin
Rating:  4 Stars
Told in the first person.  Alternating persons.
Disclosure of Material Connection:  I received this book for review from Foreword PR & Marketing and the author.  I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review.  The opinions I have expressed are my own.  I am posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255:  "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising".

Synopsis:


A deliciously seductive standalone coming soon to ebook, print and audio.
The hunter has become the hunted.

I’ve been running for ten years—fleeing my past and clawing my way toward an inescapable act of vengeance. Finally, I can taste revenge on the tip of my tongue.

Until he walks into my life, sure and strong and full of secrets.

He dilutes my thirst for retribution with his touch. He obliterates my need for solitude with his kiss. But it’s his hidden agenda that makes the hair on the back of my neck prickle.

He wants something. Something that doesn’t revolve around sweaty skin and tangled silk sheets like he’d have me believe.

I have to stop falling for him, otherwise the last ten years will all be for nothing. I need to keep running, keep fighting for vengeance, even though I know he will track me down.

But trying to escape him is just another problem. Because now I crave the hunt.

Goodread


My Thoughts:

Emma “Steph” Stephens does a great job of pretending.  She’s had quite a few years to perfect her craft.  She’s a very fascinating character that grabbed my attention right from the start.  First it was because I couldn’t figure her out.  Second it was because I wanted to know where she planned to take the reader.  It was interesting to see how the author labeled her chapters – added to the mystery.  Hunter is a man who has met his match.

If you’re looking for a book where you wonder who the characters are and what are they hiding than this is a book to check out.  I’m terrible at solving mysteries and that’s one reason that this book held my attention.  Emma had so many layers to her – she wasn’t just a simple straightforward woman.  She can hold her own against any man.  But I got so frustrated because even when I got to the end, I had to ask myself if I missed something.  It’s as if the mystery is only partially solved and there’s more to come.  And that’s part of the problem – is there more to come?
