Review & Release Blitz: Exposed (Kingdoms of Sin #2) by Willow Aster

🔥🔥 NEW RELEASE 🔥🔥

Exposed by Willow Aster is LIVE!!! FREE in KU!

A royal story set in background of conspiracies, manipulations and deceptions, Exposed is a whirlpool of intense emotions. The characters are beautifully broken. Their feelings are raw, gritty and incredibly terrifying. The story sucked me in and left its permanent mark on my heart.” ~PP’s Bookshelf
It was never a question of love.
I knew I loved Elias Lancaster and that he loved me.
At least I always thought he did.
But for some reason, he always found an excuse not to be with me.
The pain I felt as my childhood love rejected me, again and again, after promising me the world when we were kids…
Well, it just wouldn’t go away.
No matter how hard I tried.
Desperate times called for desperate measures, and I never wanted to be considered desperate, but I knew if something didn’t change soon, I’d lose Elias for good and die of a broken heart.
No one told me how many times my heart could break in the process.

MY REVIEW
Mara's heart has always belonged to Elias. Only he saw through her willful behavior to the real inside her. They've been friends forever and that whole time she's wanted him to love her as more than a friend. Why does he keep putting her off?
She doesn't realize that he's as obsessed with her as she is with him. But there are so many obstacles to their being together. Obstacles that just may be insurmountable. And with her brother taking over as King, and acting strangely, there really is no way for them to be together. Is there?

Well, yes, there is if Mara has her way. And she's more than determined that she will have her way. Look out world because a determined Mara is one to watch out for!
I really liked Exposed. I did get the feeling that I may have been missing something, since it was obvious that book 1 had a lot of impact on this story, but for the most part I understood (and enjoyed) Mara and Elias' love story. It's sexy and suspenseful and the way they managed to climb over everything that stood in their way was exciting reading. Now I'm looking forward to Ava's story, Ruin.
I lean in closer. “Be careful, your mask is slipping. You almost seem like the girl I grew up with right now.” I both love and hate seeing the real her. It’s driven me out of my mind that for years now, Mara has put on a mask around everyone but me. “Wouldn’t want anyone to get the wrong idea and see that you’re actually a caring person.” I lower my voice. “I have nothing to say to you.”

The hurt flashes across her eyes but is gone within a blink. In my mind, I see her when she was ten, when she thought I was ignoring her for a week because my mother wouldn’t let me go play with the princess. She locked me in my room when I snuck out, not letting me out for so long I thought I’d die in that bedroom. Those were the dark days with my mother, the days I still try to stuff down inside. I’d give anything if I could erase them from my memory. The hurt on Mara’s face back then when I was able to go outside again but didn’t tell her where I’d been or what had happened…it’s the same look I saw just now.

It’s these snapshots of us in my mind that make me turn back to her, make me think maybe there is a way…maybe we could have a chance.

Now if only I could get him off my mind… Love, Lacey Donovan by Jill Brashear releases on October 15th! Amazon -- https://amzn.to/2RIHVYs Universal -- getbook.at/LoveLaceyD Apple -- https://apple.co/2H9fIrO Nook -- https://bit.ly/3kx9yAm Kobo -- https://bit.ly/32I8iEn Google -- https://bit.ly/33Hvj9H Book boyfriends are better. My book boyfriends go with me everywhere. I prefer them tall, dark, and handsome, but I don’t discriminate. They sweep me off my feet and are always there when I need them—in my purse, in my car, and even in my bathtub. Book boyfriends may not be real, but at least they won’t break my heart… or get another girl pregnant. I don’t do relationships. I get one whiff and run in the opposite direction. It took me seven years to mend my broken heart, and I’m not about to hand it over again. That’s why I can’t fall for Beckett. With his Clark Kent glasses and brooding stare, he’s a superhero in disguise. And his superpower? Melting panties with a single

Cover Reveal: A Little Luck by Tia Louise

Tia Louise has revealed the covers for A Little Luck! Releasing December 14, 2023 Adam Stone is not a saint. He’s six-foot-two, naughty blue eyes, cocky grin, and a bod blessed by the gods. He’s a surfer, a soldier, a pilot, and he’s been my friend since I moved to our small town when we were just kids. But another man took my hand. He took my innocence, took my trust, and broke my heart. I was young. I didn’t know love could be a weapon. I didn’t know the hand that caressed you could also cut you. Now that man is dead, and I’m a single-mom survivor wearing a mask so perfect, no one knows the truth. Trust doesn’t come easy, and surviving is a hard habit to break. But when a plumbing disaster leaves me homeless, one night in Adam Stone’s (supposedly) empty bed changes everything. I’ve hidden my scars so long, I don’t know how else to be, but I want to try. I’m in love with Adam Stone. I love every glance, every wink, every furtive touch… He says he’s different. He sa
