Review / Release Blitz: Crossing the Line by Zoey Locke and Z.L. Arkadie


Crossing The Line by Zoey Locke
and Z.L. Arkadie is now live!


A romance between them is strictly forbidden. Neither was willing to cross the line—until now.

He calls me PG, and my heart skips a beat.

Nobody calls me that but Hercules Lord, a man I've had a crush on since high school.

He and I could never be together, though. A romance between us is strictly forbidden. The Lords are old money, and my family, the Groves, is new money—and the Groves and the Lords don't mix. The hate between our families runs deep. Deep enough to create an invisible line in the sand that neither of us ever dared to cross.

But that's never stopped us from staring at each other from across a crowded room. And we've always been cordial. Then there was that night seven years ago. I bet Hercules doesn't know that he's my first.

Yet here we are again, gazing into each other's eyes.

Tonight feels different.

We've grown up.

Our desire for each other wants to defy our restraint.

But truly, really... What will happen if we cross the line?

THE LORDS OF MANHATTAN Billionaire Romance series... If only the Capulets and Montagues had gotten their happy ending. Meet the Lords and Groves–two warring families. Only their stories don't end in tragedy. Forbidden lovers, soul mates, fake engagements, and enemies to lovers are the unputdownable tropes of this series.

This book is a standalone that ends with an HEA.

MY REVIEW

Paisley is still breathless at the sight of Hercules Lord, her high school crush, one night stand in college, and part of her family's most hated family. They knew in high school, they knew in college, and they know now, that a romance between a Grove and a Lord can never be. So why are they unable to take their eyes off each other? Why is Paisley even contemplating anything with someone who is apparently engaged?

I liked Paisley. I liked Hercules. I liked the premise of this story - feuding families, forbidden romance. What I did not like was the reason a relationship was forbidden, I felt like the giant secret was underwhelming for something that was the crux of a huge feud. The other thing I didn't like? Who Hercules was engaged to - um no. It smacks of medieval times or some Lannister deviance, and I was not here for it. So 3 stars because I liked Paisley and Hercules and I liked the story itself. But not 4 stars because the important matter at hand was underwhelming, and the dialogue and transitions were rough and choppy at times.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
