Review: Syler McKnight: An Enemies-to-Lovers Holiday Tale by Cora Brent SYLER MCKNIGHT When Katrina gets a call from her best friend, she knows she has to be there for her. She has no work to attend to now, so why not go back and help Gemma? Unfortunately, Gemma's annoying (hot) younger brother, Syler, is there, too, and it will force their still present attraction to flare up. They still dislike each other, though, so the attraction doesn't mean anything, right? Wrong... Enemies to lovers and second chances are two of my absolute favorite tropes, and I gotta say that Cora Brent nailed both of them in this sweet, sexy holiday tale. I loved it! It's light hearted and fun, with enough steam and chemistry to warm up the reader's holidays. These two were just dying to get back together, even though they disliked each other on the surface. But their chemistry and their real feelings were not be denied, and were really obvious from the first page. And the secondary cast i...

Title: Syler McKnight An Enemies to Lovers Holiday Tale Author: Cora Brent Genre: Contemporary Romantic Comedy Release Date: December 19, 2019 Blurb Maybe there’s one of us in every family. The guy who scorns all the  rules. The guy who shuns expectations.   The guy most commonly known as the ultimate villain in a cultish self help movement. On the other hand, perhaps we’re not as common as I thought.   But so what if I’m never anyone’s hero? At least I’m a good brother. That is the one thing I manage to get right.  So when my big sister is abandoned by her prick of a husband, leaving her and her four kids alone a week before Christmas, I don’t hesitate to head home. To my surprise, I’m not the only one who shows up. Katrina has always been my sister’s best friend. She’s headstrong and hot. She’s neurotic and sexy. She belts out old power ballads with horrible, tuneless abandon and her hair always smells like vanilla cookie batter. We have a l...

Title: TRISTAN Series: Ruins of Emblem #1 Author: Cora Brent Genre: Contemporary Romance Release Date: April 9, 2019 Emblem, Arizona. Not a place people dreamed of moving to.  More like a place people escaped from.  Known for its barren desert and the state’s largest prison, it had been home to my family for generations. Now the town’s name is a curse to them. And yet I’ve always wondered about it.  By the time I finished college I had big plans.  I was going to pack up and move to Emblem. I would teach at Emblem High. I would see past the crime and poverty that the town was infamous for. I would make a difference.  Tristan Mulligan never figured into my plans at all.  He was a small time criminal with a bad attitude who’d never bothered to graduate from high school. Worse, he didn’t seem interested in changing any of that. He was also the sexiest guy I’d ever laid eyes on.  I knew better than to start something with him. I did it anyw...
