Notorious Park Avenue Prince a gay college romance standalone by Brooke Blaine & Ella Frank arrives on October 3rd! Cover Reveal & Giveaway

James “East” Easton “The Pompous One”

I’m so over college. It was supposed to be the time of our lives, a time of debauchery, but one by one, Cupid aimed his arrow and hit every one of my moron friends.

Relationships.

Could there be anything more soul-sucking and lame? To be tied to one person, and have to think about their…feelings.

Fine. Whatever. I’ll look for my fun elsewhere.

Like that teacher’s assistant who keeps giving me a hard time. I wouldn’t mind shutting him up—with my mouth. I wonder if I could provoke him into it…

I’m an absolute sucker for the he falls first, womanizer’s falling head over heels for a woman trope. Walker Reid is d 100% the “I can fix him” and make him change his ways book boyfriend…more so after seeing how Elle managed to wrap the playboy rancher around her pretty little finger.

I have to admit, I was a little apprehensive about reading this book. I had high hopes that the plot line would be amazing (it’s Amber Kelly duh!!!) but what made me weary was for the age-gap trope and the female main character, Elle Young.

With her appearances in the first two novels, I didn’t really care for her character. It wasn’t that I didn’t like her, her persona was just a little off-putting (again, not in a bad way). I simply response with older, mature characters; whereas, Elle is apart of the younger generation — early twenties (at least young to me). She’s cute— still innocent in the majority of areas of life when it comes to love and intimacy. There are moments where her immaturity comes to play so I’m just like eh, but after a reminder, I’m sure I was the same way when I was freshly twenty-one with my first love.

It was beautiful to see Elle grow into the adult woman she is. Any chance she gets, she’s constantly spewing to her brother Braxton and love interest Walker that she’s a grown woman. In the beginning, it was annoying. However, she blossomed and it was a delight to actually see her not be afraid to speak her mind, branch away from her sibling to be independent, and discover what it is she wants out of her life.

Amber Kelly always does tremendous at appealing realism to character development and experiences. Elle endured similar struggles any young adult would: fostering independence, discovering love and intimacy for the first time, seeking oneself and purpose in the world, and direction into furthering education and careers.

She’s a relatable character for young adults and her responses are realistic rather than fantasy mindsets. They’re practical and believable.

Walker Reid is the cliche womanizing rancher. He’s absolutely stunning, easy on the eyes, a massive flirt, and good with his hands (in more ways than one). He works hard on the ranch and even harder to care for his mom. He has everything a bachelor his age could want… so he thinks.

It’s not until Ellen where he finds himself looking at what’s beneath a woman’s surface besides a good lay. With Elle, he is wants more than a drunk fling after the bar. He wants to be better, regardless of the fact he feels unworthy of her. Still, he’s willing to make the changes throughout their developing relationship, even if it’ll cost him a rib or two.

BLURB

Wanting her with every beat of my heart doesn’t necessarily mean we’re destined for happily ever after…

I never really cared that everyone saw me as nothing more than the charming Calloway—the one who refused to grow up.

Until I met her. Claire is sexy. Smart. Put together in a way I’ll probably never be. She’s also the single mom of one of my students, which means a relationship with her is strictly forbidden. Too bad that wasn’t enough to keep her off my mind. Or out of my bed. Now, the more time I spend time with her, the more I realize I’m in over my head. Falling for her is way too easy. The hard part will be convincing myself—and her—that I might be a forever kind of guy after all…

REVIEW

I absolutely loved Jamison and Claire. They are a match made in heaven. Jamison's character is fun loving and bubbly. He is easy going and carefree. He is such a charmer. He was the perfect person for this story line. A single mom and a hot fire fighter, mmmm my favorite trope.

This book is full of fun loving energy and feel goods. It has a dose of backstabbing and entitlement. A great story through and through. I loved the energy and the wonderful story. It shows the goodness in Jamison and how he is a great teacher, family man and all around human being. He shows strength in the end and he is great at what he does.

This whole series is turning out to be wonderful and I am loving the getting to know the Calloways. Those boys are not only wonderful, good looking, they are fun and teasing. I cannot wait to see whose book is next. I am really curious about Sutton and Wes.

Echoes in the Empty Gym

(Major Gabriel Steele) Alpha’s fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, glowing sterilely over the empty space. I leaned against my desk, arms folded across my chest as I watched Nic stride toward me. Each step she took seemed measured and deliberate, betraying none of the nervousness that rippled beneath her composed exterior.

A smile tugged at the corners of my mouth. Still, I kept it in check, carefully curating an expression of professional amusement. Yet, when her gaze locked with mine, there was no denying the surge of energy that crackled between us. It was like touching a live wire—exciting, dangerous, and impossible to ignore.

“Major S,” she greeted, her voice steady despite the quiver I sensed lurking beneath.

“Nic, over here,” I replied, maintaining the facade of casual familiarity, even as I felt the ground shift beneath us.

She was small, yes, but her presence filled the room. Her workout gear clung to her like a second skin, accentuating every curve and muscle she had painstakingly sculpted through relentless hours of training. My gaze lingered, betraying the primal stirrings of desire that her form effortlessly ignited within me. Her stature might have been diminutive, but the strength she exuded was palpable—a silent challenge to anyone who dared underestimate her.

As she moved closer, the faint scent of her perfume—a mix of citrus and something floral—drifted toward me. The familiar fragrance tugged at memories I had tried to bury: the laughter we shared during a particularly grueling session, the way her eyes sparkled when she executed a perfect kick, the playful banter that somehow always lingered a moment too long.

Her cheeks were now tinged with color, a delicate pink that provided a striking difference to her fair hair, which fell in loose waves around her shoulders. It was an innocent reaction, yet it stirred something primal within me.

The conversation blurred; I could feel her tense and trying to relax.

“Our football banter?” Her innocence was palpable, yet I sensed a flicker of understanding beneath it. She knew more was at stake than just friendly messages and team rivalries.

I nodded, my gaze momentarily straying, revealing the chaos that threatened to overflow.

“Nic...” I began but halted. How could I articulate the delicate equilibrium of my life with Lilith, the dangerous tightrope I navigated daily? The memory of her explosive temper flared in my mind, a harsh reminder of the lines I dared not cross.

“Things are... complex,” was all I utter; the understatement hung heavily between us. My fingers itched with an urge to reach out, to close this gap with a simple touch, but I fought against it. The stakes were too high, and the potential repercussions were too drastic.

“This is ridiculous.” Nic’s hand twitched a tentative gesture that spoke volumes. I could almost feel the heat radiating from her skin, the static charge that sparked between us whenever we got too close. But we both retracted; self-preservation won over the magnetic pull that drew us together.

“… unprofessional,” I spit out, my teeth grinding against the words.

“Unprofessional?” Nic echoed back at me, disbelief painted across her face. “Do you agree?”

My jaw tightened further as I averted my gaze from her, casting it instead over the deserted expanse of the gym. I was usually an island of calm in any storm, but under the cruel scrutiny of fluorescent lights, fissures were beginning to show in my armor.

“Nic,” I attempted again, a tremor creeping into my voice despite my best efforts. “It’s not about what I think. It’s about… Lilith’s perception.”

I watched as she rose from her seat, her legs shaking beneath her like a newborn foal preparing to take its first steps into an uncertain world. Outside, the festive holiday decorations twinkled merrily in stark contrast to our grim reality.

A breeze from the open door swept through the gym, carrying the scent of winter pine and the distant sound of muffled laughter. For a fleeting second, I wished we could be anywhere but here, lost in a world where the only thing that mattered was the undeniable connection between us.

But wishes were for fairy tales, and our story was rooted in a far grittier reality—one where villains lurked in the shadows and happy endings were never guaranteed.

When He Reads to Me an MC Forbidden Romance by T.L. Smith is releasing 9.24

I loved him from the beginning. In the middle. But maybe not at the end. His love for me was full of possibilities, hopes, and dreams a girl like me wasn’t accustomed to. He was a nightmare that cracked and bled through my hands, and I stood there watching as it seeped into the ground. Until him. He put me back together. Without even knowing he was doing so.

And he wasn’t even my husband.

My Review:

I love the sparks between Troy and Lizzie! If you read the first book in the Bellehaven Hotties series, you met these characters. They weren't the stars of the show, but they were star-adjacent, so we got to learn a lot about them. With the way they butted heads, I fully expected their story to be full of fire, and Chasity Bowlin and Laramie Briscoe deliver. Troy and Lizzie have some history, and their romance touches on the forbidden, but darned if they aren't good together.

Like the first in the series, Locked Up One Night is a quick read, and this one has even less angst, so it's definitely an easy read. The chemistry is so good between this pair. Right from the start, I was rooting for them. I also liked getting to visit the couple from the first book, as well as so many of the secondary characters. So, it's like another trip to Bellehaven!

So, another quick, entertaining read in the series, and this pair definitely generates some steam. This book picks up right where the first left off, so I'd recommend reading the series in order to get the most out of it.
