Blog Tour: Caper Crush by Kathy Strobos*

 

'Somebody stole my painting! The one I need for the career-defining Vertex Art Exhibit. This upcoming art show is my chance to finally be recognized as an artist--after ten years of waitressing and being asked if I still have that "lovely painting hobby."

I have mere weeks to find my painting or lose my artist dream forever--but it's going to mean working with William.

William Haruki Matsumura. Good-looking, if you like the Secret Service type. You know, law-abiding, protector of women and children. That's all fine, but I never know what he's thinking. Which drives me crazy.

He insists on coming along to do "damage control." As if "accidentally" wandering into certain areas is "breaking and entering." I may be an emotional artist, but William shouldn't dismiss my investigative skills yet.

William is definitely my opposite, and if there's one takeaway from my parents' divorce, it's that opposites might attract, but it doesn't last. But detecting with William is kind of fun--and fluttery. I definitely can't trust these feelings, or can I? However this caper ends, I think this may be more than a crush.'

This is the story Miranda and William, which is told over the course of 41 Chapters. This is the third standalone book in the 'New York Friendship' series. A series this reader has enjoyed so far. 

The main theme of this book is mystery, as you can tell from the blurb a painting has been stolen. Although this is a mystery, it is also a romantic comedy. The book is full of giggle worthy moments that readers will adore. 

From the moment I started this sweet book, it was easy for this reader to know that I wasn't putting it down anytime soon. The book draws the reader in and makes them want to read it. This book is very easy for readers to get stuck into. 

Now let me tell you a bit about the Author Kathy Strobos, who lives in New York City with her husband and two children. Kathy has a growing collection of books, toys and dollhouses. She grew up in New York City and graduated from Stuyvesant High School and Harvard-Radcliffe University magna cum laude. Previously she has worked as a lawyer. However she left law to pursue her dream of writing fiction full-time and getting in shape. She is the author of Partner Pursuit, Is This for Real?, A Scavenger Hunt and Caper Crush. She is still working on getting in shape

Overall I have loved this series and this book is no exception. This is a romantic comedy in the truest sense of the phrase that readers will adore. You can get your copy HERE.

Until Next Time

Blog Tour: The Billionaire Behind The Headlines by Rachael Stewart*

'Can the billionaire capture her heart?

In this Claiming the Ferrington Empire story, Bree has escaped the city to heal her heart in a village bakery. And then notorious billionaire Theo walks through the door. The man behind the headlines is charming, but intriguingly cynical about love. Accepting his invitation to Paris might be a mistake—or the best decision she’s ever made…'

This is the second story in Racheal's short series 'Claiming the Ferrington Empire'. Although this book is part of a series you can read as a stand alone but I would recommend reading Sebastian and Flick's story anyway. In my opinion you will probably want to when you finish this book anyway.

This is the story of the Theo (Sebastian's brother) and Bree, which is told over the course of 15 Chapters + Epilogue. Though these chapters go quite quickly because as I have come to expect from Rachael's books it is very easy to get stuck into. 

One of the reasons that it is easy to get stuck into and that it can be read without reading the first book is because of the crossover. Now this crossover gives the reader just enough information to know the full story, if you haven't read book one but as someone who has it gave me insight into sections that happened during the timeline of the first book but weren't discussed in the first book. Now by no means does this take away from the first book. This just gives the reader more to love. 

This book starts well, grabbing the readers attention as well as showing them how this unlikely pair met. Which is brilliant for the reader as they get s full look into the relationship that Theo and Bree have. The get to watch as they go from lust at first sight, to the teasing and more. 

So let me tell you about the Author Rachael Stewart, she adores conjuring up stories for both Mills & Boon and Deep Desires Press. The books vary from heart-warmingly romantic to wildly erotic. Rachael is living her own dream of being a full time writer, even though her degree was in Business Studies and she spent many years in the corporate world. Originally from Wales, Rachael now lives in Yorkshire with her husband and three children. When she isn't wrapped up in her children, you can find her glued to her laptop or enjoying the great outdoors seeking inspiration. 

Overall this is a brilliant book whether you read it as a standalone or as part of the series. Though this reader highly recommends that you read both books starting with Flick and Sebastian's before moving onto Theo and Bree's. This is a well written book that readers will find easy to get stuck into. You can get your copy HERE
