Blog Tour: Sweet Love and Country Roads by Camilla Isley*

 

'Falling for the wrong cowboy never felt so good . . .

Samantha Baker is a high-flying movie producer living in New York City. She loves her shoes, drinking cosmopolitans, and wouldn’t trade the comforts of city life for anything in the world. But when her job is put on the line, Samantha has no other choice than to move to the middle of nowhere to straighten out the filming of her latest romantic comedy blockbuster.

Her new country home has no Starbucks, no Pilates, and the one pub in town has never heard of appletinis—only serves beer and whiskey neat. On the plus side, the views are scenic. And not just for the aerial shots, as the local eye-candy provides a welcome distraction.

At least until Samantha discovers a native cowboy, Travis Hunt, is the source of all her troubles...

And the battle begins.

Each has something the other wants, but as Samantha and Travis go head to head, they might discover the endgame has changed. When hate turns to heat, all becomes fair in love and war for these two sworn enemies who’ve been playing a game of hearts.

But will a roll in the hay be enough to make Samantha decide there’s no sex in the city and convert to country living?'

This is the story of Sam and Travis, which is told over the course of 32 Chapters plus a bonus chapter. This is also book 7 in Camilla's First comes Love series. Although this is book is part of a series, it is also a standalone novel. 

This book is your classic enemies to lovers story with the added bonus that it is a also a romcom. The book is full of giggle moments. However these are very cute giggle moments. These moments are more apparent in the bonus story. 

Throughout the normal story you get a mixture of both cute giggle moments and emotional moments. Emotional moments that will make readers get lost in the pages of the book. It isn't just the emotional moments that will draw the readers in. 

Sam is your typical girlie girl, who knows what she likes when it comes to brands and guys. Whereas when it comes to Travis he know what doesn't suit him but also say hello to your new book boyfriend. A very versatile book boyfriend who can rock a cowboy hat jeans just as well as a business suit. 

This book is very easy to get addicted to, so much so that readers will easily find themselves going through several chapters without realising it. They will be that engrossed in the book and the story. 

Let's tell you a little bit about the Author Camilla Isley who is an engineer who left science behind to enter the whimsical realm of romantic fiction. She writes contemporary rom-coms. Her characters have big hearts, might be a little stubborn, at times and love to banter with each other. Every story she pens has a guaranteed HEA that will make your heart beat faster. Unless you're a vampire, of course. She is a cat lover, coffee addict and shoe hoarder. Beside writing, she loves reading (duh), cooking, watching bad TV and going to movies - popcorn please. She is a bit of a foodie, nothing too serious. Camilla is a keen traveller who knows mosquitoes play a role in the ecosystem, and doesn't want to starve all those frog princes but could really live without them. 

Overall this is a brilliantly addictive book. That is a must read whether you have read the entire series or whether this is the first one you read. You can get your copy HERE

Blog Tour: The Meet Cute Method by Portia Macintosh*

'Do movie romances ever happen in real life...?

Frankie doesn't believe in true love. As relationships expert at popular magazine Stylife, she has learnt that dating disasters are far more common than happy ever afters.

So when she is tasked to find out if meet cutes can work in real life she is up for the challenge - but whether it's being a damsel in distress with a flat tyre, or spilling coffee over a stranger, she isn't convinced this can really lead to love.

But little does Frankie know that the ultimate meet cute opportunity is just around the corner. As she is whisked off her feet (all in the name of her work project of course...) perhaps true love isn't just for the movies after all...?'

From the very start of this book readers will be intrigued and giggling from not only the story but the sort of situations that Frankie finds herself. Whether the situation works out for her or not, it is one more reason why readers will enjoy this book. 

This story is easy to get stuck into, to the point that readers will soon find themselves whizzing through the chapters. Quicker than they anticipated. Although this story is filled with its share of laugh out loud moments, there was a few moments that I would call 'tear jerky'. Now they weren't full on, grab a new box of tissues tear jerk moments, more along the lines of a tear or two may escape you. 

Now let me tell you a little bit more about the Author Portia MacIntosh, who is a bestselling romantic comedy author of 16 novels.

Blog Tour: Secrets Behind The Billionaire's Return by Rachael Stewart*

 

'Has he returned to claim her heart…?

In this Claiming the Ferrington Empire story, sixteen years ago Felicity fell in love with the boy from Ferrington Manor. But when Sebastian vanished she was left with the secret consequence of their love… And now he’s back! Will the revelations about his departure be enough for Felicity to succumb to the feelings that still draw her to him?'

This is the story of Sebastian and Felicity (aka Flick). There story is the first one in the brand new series called ‘Claiming the Ferrington Empire’. There story is told over the course of 16 Chapters plus an Epilogue. 

Right from the start readers will become intrigued about the past these two share as well as whether this pairing have a future. Even from the outset when the truths about the past are being spilled, it is clear for readers to see that Sebastian hasn’t let it all spill out. This secret that Sebastian is hiding from both Flick and the readers will keep you guessing as to what needs to be revealed. 

Throughout this story the point of view switches between both Sebastian and Flick. This means that the readers get a full story and account of everyone’s feelings. This is also interesting as when you see Sebastians point of view, you can really get a sense of exactly who this character is and who Flick is to him. 

The moment these two characters meet again it is clear to see that they have chemistry and that neither one is immune. However that doesn’t mean neither one wants to admit the chemistry is there or even act in it. 

Although Flick and Sebastian are the main characters, the reader gets introduced to many background characters including Sebastians younger brother Theo and Flicks best friend Bree. Now although they are background characters it is easy for the reader to fall in love with them and wonder at the possibility of whether we are meeting the stars of book 2?

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 heartwarmingly 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 Rachael has brought readers another great read that is easy to get stuck into. It’s full of characters that readers can fall in love with and chemistry that sizzles. You can get your copy HERE

Blog Tour: The Only Man by A.S. Kelly*

 

'I was a different man, once.

I was a man with only one woman on my mind – the only woman I wanted to hold in my arms.

I was her man.

But things change. Life changes you. Choices, mistakes, resentment: they all change you.

So do unkept promises.

We hurt each other. We loved each other, then hated each other, then missed each other, then grew apart.

And then…

One day, we found each other again.

At the wrong time, in the wrong place.

Because the two of us are wrong together – we’re too far apart, too incompatible.

We’re the main characters of a story that doesn’t belong to us.

But I still keep loving her, even though she hates me.

And she keeps hating herself, because she can’t help but love me.

And we keep searching for each other, even though we’re destined to lose each other.

I wish I could be a different man, just once.

I wish I could be the kind of man who’s ready to give everything for the woman he loves.

Someone who was ready to let her go.

Because I want her to be happy more than I want her to be mine.'

This is the fourth book in the 'From Connemara with Love' series. I have happily read book two and three where you meet Andy, Shane, Reid and Sloane. You also met the couple from book one Alex and Ellie. Although this book is part of a series, you don't have to read the series in order to read this book. In fact at the front of this book there is a character summary for anyone who doesn't know the characters or needs a reminder. 

This book concentrates on Brian and Darcy, both of who you meet in the other books. There story is told over the course of 58 Chapters and an Epilogue. Now Brian and Darcy are not just two characters who meet for the first time in this story. Oh no they have a past. A past that is hinted at before it is finally revealed. 

Now these hints of their shared past will intrigue readers, and get them wondering what exactly happened in the past and will it affect Brian and Darcy now. Brian and Darcy do not have it easy when it comes to this path they are on. But that uneasiness means that the readers get hooked. Readers will find it easy to get stuck into this book and not want to put it down until they have read the entire thing.

I feel like I need to be honest and say this book needs to come with a slight warning. This warning goes out to the readers who will cry while reading, in fact all readers need this warning. Do not have a packet of tissues with you when you read this book, you will need a fresh box! This reader went through a stage that they couldn't read a few chapters before reaching for a tissue. Now this isn't a bad thing, this is just me getting emotionally invovled with this book and the characters/ 

One thing to really love about this series and this book is that as the series continues you get life updates on the previous characters. So for the readers out there who have read the series you get to see how Andy, Shane, Ellie, Alex, Reid and Sloan are in.

Let me tell you about the Author Alex Kelly, who was born in Italy but lives in Ireland with her husband, two children and a cat named Oscar. She is passionate about English Literature, she's a music lover and addicted to coffee. She spends her days in a small village North of Dublin, looking for inspiration for her next stories. Rainy Days is her debut novel.  

Overall as much as this book emotionally destroyed me I loved it. This is the exact kind of book that destroys a readers emotions, and the moment they finish reading it they recommend it to anyone who will listen. I personally hope this is not the last book in this series. You can get your copy HERE

Until Next Time
