Spells by Kristen Proby is now live!
From New York Times Bestselling Author, Kristen Proby, comes Spells, the next installment in her gripping Bayou Magic series...
As a powerful hedgewitch and psychic, there isn't much I can't work to my advantage and finesse with a spell. Love, fortune, and even the perfect cup of coffee are all possible with the snap of my fingers.
But some things are utterly beyond my control.
Like the powerful and broody warlock who's been a part of my life for as long as I can remember--and even the lifetimes I often can't. Things almost as dangerous as Lucien Bergeron's hold on me and the breathtaking smiles only I get to see.
Or the evil still stalking the streets of New Orleans that beckons to me to see. To feel. To die.
With everything riding on a razors-edge, and things that have been portended coming to fruition, threatening both me and those I love, I'm not sure if I'm strong enough to resist my fate. Or his charm.
If I work with Lucien, it could mean the end for both of us.
If I don't, those I love most will pay.

Cover Reveal! See Me After Class by Meghan Quinn
SEE ME AFTER CLASS COVER REVEAL!!
SEE ME AFTER CLASS by Meghan Quinn
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Releasing: November 12, 2020
"Did you have relations with my brother . . ."
Good question.
I’d like to preface this by saying it was never my intention to ever get involved in a workplace romance, let alone get involved with the most surly, agitating, and pompous man I’ve ever met who just so happens to be my new friend’s brother.
My intentions were to show students how English and reading books could actually be fun and make a new life for myself in the suburbs of Chicago.
But so far, I’ve managed to be called into the principal’s office.
Coerced into participating in the teacher's badminton league.
And instigated into passionate fights with Arlo Turner over education and decorum while losing my underwear at the same time.
Known as Mr. Turns Me On, he’s the reason I might get fired from my first ever teaching job.
SEE ME AFTER CLASS RELEASES NOVEMBER 12TH!

Review: Spells
Spells by Kristen ProbyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Book 2 of the Bayou Magic series picks up where Book 1 leaves off and you dive right back into they magic of Kristen Proby's New Orleans.
Millie is a fun and sweet character. She doesn't fight against herself and accepts changes as they come. I enjoyed getting into her head and seeing how she accepts changes, like a new familiar, with grace and ease. Lucien has secrets and it is wonderful seeing him reveal himself and his secrets to Millie. This story raised a lot of questions, and Kristen Proby did an excellent job of twisting the story around so the answers were all revealed in the end. This story has a lot of dark violent themes, but they add to the spooky Halloween vibes throughout the book
I am sad I will have to wait another year for the conclusion of this trilogy. While all books are focused on individual sisters and their relationships. Without having read Book 1 Shadows, the story would be lacking context that would add to the reader's enjoyment of the book.
This is a great paranormal witchy romance Low Angst, but still suspense and drama. Minimal heat, but high levels of romance.
I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily give my review.

Review: Grip
Grip by Kennedy RyanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was an amazing book, I needed to sit with my feelings a minute before completing my review.
Grip came highly recommended from some very close friends and I postponed reading it for a long time. I think I knew it was going to make an impact and I wasn't ready. This book is truly amazing. It is a beautiful love story but more than that it addresses true issues of race, inequity and inequality in a way that is authentic and powerful.
Grip is a black man and Bristol is a white woman. This book didn't skip over any of the complications that come with their relationship. But it also wasn't the purpose of the book. It was just a reality of these characters and thats what made them feel so real. I love how it was an open conversation with them. Bristol was open about her lack of awareness and Grip was upfront about educating her. There was one part where he told her that her privilege was showing and it was an informative moment not an aggressive moment or start of a fight.
I loved that both of these characters acted like adults when solving their problems or when disagreements arose. They were truly soulmates and that showed through the writing and their experiences. I will be recommending this book to everyone I can, and I already have Still on my kindle to read, because I am not ready to let them go.
This is one of the few books where I really want to thank the author. Thank you Kennedy Ryan for bringing these characters into my life. I will forever be a fan of Grip and Bristol.

Excerpt
“No,” said the bodyguard.
“But—”
“Miss, do you have any idea how many people try to get backstage by claiming they have some sort of relationship with Mr. Dillon?” Face a careful blank, the man in the slick black suit stared down at me. He had a point. I’d pushed through a crush of fans, getting my toes stomped on several times, along with taking an elbow to the kidney, just to talk to this guy. God only knew what it took to get near the star of the show.
“I’d imagine a lot,” I yelled back at him. Necessary given the volume of the music filling the space. “The difference here is I’m not lying.”
“But since everyone says that, you can see from my perspective how that’s not actually a point of difference.”
Adam Dillon, rock star extraordinaire, gyrated his slim denim-clad hips like an Alt-Rock Elvis on the nearby stage. He pouted and crooned about the woman who’d done him wrong. Me. That’s right, I was the big bad ex who’d broken him and woke him to the dangers of love. Or so the song said.
The song lied and then some.
According to the lyrics he was currently wailing, I’d ground his heart beneath my five-inch heels before blowing him a kiss goodbye. From memory, there’d been a lot of shouting, but no blowing of kisses. And having just kicked off the flats I wore for work, I’d been barefoot, my legs and back aching. No way had I been strutting around in stilettos. Home from a hard day at the hair salon, I’d returned to find Adam on the couch. The same place he’d been when I’d left for work approximately eleven hours earlier. The same place he’d been for what felt like months as I worked my ass off to pay the rent. That’s when all hell broke loose. However, it wasn’t the only issue that had caused our relationship to bomb. Nothing’s ever simple.
But back to the here and now. I grabbed the slip of paper out of my front pocket, holding it up for his perusal. “My name is Jill Schwartz. How many of those people claiming to know him have one of these?”
His eyes widened as he scanned the name on the check, before widening again at the amount. And fair enough too. I’d had a mild panic attack myself when it had first arrived. When Adam decided to make a statement, he didn’t bother with subtle. If only I could figure out what it all meant. If it meant anything at all, of course. And that question was what had brought me here tonight.

Review: Love Song
Love Song by Kylie ScottMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I always love traveling back to Portland and the world of Stage Dive. Love Song by Kylie Scott is about Adam Dillon, a rock star who has been supported by the Stage Dive crew reconnecting with his ex girlfriend who he wrote a hate fueled album about. I loved this story, Jill is every girl who has dated a musician. I deeply related to her as I have that affliction too. Being second choice over music wares on you after a while and the way that was described was perfect.
Our favorite Mad Drummer, Mal has a couple hysterical interactions and I love that he still speaks to Kylie Scott and we get snips to know that Mal has not changed. It's not just him, the whole Stage Dive crew makes an appearance and it feels like hanging out with old friends.
My biggest complaint is that I just wanted more. That is true of all of Kylie's books though. She is a one click author for me, I just want all her books all the time. Knowing it was a novella I was expecting something short, but this felt a little rushed. I would have liked a few extra chapters, or a longer time lapse. That said the story was completely enjoyable and satisfying.
I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily give my review.

Review: Hollow Heathens
Hollow Heathens by Nicole FiorinaMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
"So, I kissed the night, got lost in his sky and suspended in his time"
This book is completely epic! I just finished and I am stunned with how intricate and perfect it was. An excellent edition to your October TBR.
Fallon and Julian are both very complicated and mysterious characters, and Nicole Fiorina completely floored me again with her beautiful writing. She not only wrote a beautiful standalone but created a witchy paranormal universe that I NEED to go back to. There are so many stories in Weeping Hollow and I want them all.
"Reality bends here. Same with time. Some days it's hard to tell the difference between what's real and what isn't"
I feel like this book is the next epic paranormal story. I will one day look back to this review and remember that I read an ARC of Nicole Fiorina's before she was a household name. That is the kind of story this is. It is dark and gritty, ugly and honest. You question whether to trust the characters, to trust what you have been told, looking for meaning in how it all ties together. Sometimes I can figure out from early clues, what is going to happen in a book. Everything I thought was wrong and I have never been so happy to be so wrong.
I finished the book and was in a complete daze, I couldn't even express to my friends how much I loved what I just read. I think my literal reaction was "I am just like, woah". This is an absolute must read for 2020 if paranormal or witchy books are your catnip, Pre-order or One-Click this book ASAP.
I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily give my honest review.

About Naughty Books
No one was prepared for the success of Fifty Shades of Grey. Originally written in 2010 as a piece of Twilight fan fiction and posted online, it eventually sold over 100 million copies, taking erotica mainstream. But women didn't only read erotica in large numbers; they also wrote it. In the aftermath of Fifty Shades a cottage industry emerged around self-published romance novels. Once women who worked forty-hour-a-week jobs, living paycheck-to-paycheck, many of them are now New York Times bestselling authors with their own merchandise lines and die-hard fans. Naughty Books follows three such women: an Air Force vet, a telemarketer, and a hospital administrator who became millionaires in under a year by using pen names to sell erotica online. They garnered thousands of fans and secured lucrative book deals with major publishing houses by writing about good girls and bad boys finding love and having steamy sex. However, as more and more people saw writing erotic romance as a quick path to money and fame, the market became saturated with hundreds of romance novels published every month, making success difficult to maintain…
Naughty Books will be available to rent on October 13th across digital, cable, and satellite platforms.

Imagine With Me by Kristen Proby Blog Tour
Imagine With Me by Kristen Proby is now live!
From New York Times Bestselling author Kristen Proby, comes an all new novel in her beloved With Me In Seattle series!
Shawn O'Callaghan loves his job as a screenwriter almost as much as he loves his family. But this latest project could quite possibly test his patience beyond anything he's ever had to endure. Generally unflappable, the author he's thrown into the trenches with pushes every button he has. Sometimes twice. And it doesn't help that he can't stop thinking about her in ways that are anything but professional. But how can he help it? The brunette is gorgeous beyond reason--and utterly infuriating.
Bestselling author Lexi Perry is finally about to leave her mark on the world; after all, seeing her dark and dangerous words brought to life is a dream come true. Until she meets the man who is supposed to make that happen. From the minute they laid eyes on each other, it was clear there would be tension, but she had no idea how much until they got down to business. He obviously doesn't understand her vision. Though she's having trouble lately too, given all she can picture is what he looks like under his clothes and imagining what it would sound like if he talked dirty to her in that sexy Irish lilt of his.
If they can find a way to meet in the middle, this movie could be one for the ages. As could their love.

Excerpt
“What do you do, Lexi?”
“I’m a writer.”
Archer lifts a brow and turns to the man next to him. “Oh? Shawn’s also a writer. What do you write?”
“Novels,” I say and turn to the screenwriter, but he holds up a hand, stopping me.
“I’m not here to entertain any new projects tonight,” Shawn says, immediately cutting me off.
He thinks I’m trying to network with him? To get him to read something I’ve written and further my career?
Well, screw him.
My face goes from friendly to cold in a heartbeat. Luke sighs.
This is a fantastic way to start this working relationship.
“That’s convenient,” I say, ice dripping from every damn word. “I’m not here to pitch a project to you, Mr. O’Callaghan. I know who you are, but it’s not terribly important to me. I do fine all on my own. Have a good night, gentlemen.”
I give a curt nod and turn away, my heels clicking on the hardwood floor as I make a hasty retreat.
I want to get out of here.
The audacity! What a jerk. I was already nervous about being here. Now, I get the disappointment of knowing I have to work with a conceited ass who’s clearly completely full of himself.
“Lexi.”
I don’t turn around.
“Lexi.”
A hand lightly latches on to my elbow, and I turn to find Shawn staring down at me, his mouth set in a grim line.
“I owe you an apology. I didn’t know you were Nora, the author I’ll be working with over the next few weeks.”
“If you’d known, you would have been polite?”
He winces. “Again, I apologize. It’s been a shit day, and I was trying to avoid work talk. Not my finest moment.”
“No.” I glance down at the elbow he’s still holding hostage. He lets go. “It wasn’t. Have a good evening, Mr. O’Callaghan. I’ll see you on Monday.”
“Lexi—”
But I don’t turn back. I know I’ll have cooled down by the time I see Shawn again. I won’t be embarrassed. My feet won’t be killing me.
For now, I want to hide.
I’m so far out of my comfort zone, I couldn’t find it with a map.
