On the day author Mari Montgomery receives the email, she has little left to live for.

The message—simple yet utterly life-changing—offers a dash of hope into her dismal existence. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime and, if she takes it, it could change everything.

Her immediate sense of unease is surpassed only by the curiosity evoked by the supposed fan on the other end of the email. Unsatisfied after her due diligence, with no way to discern the legitimacy of the sender, Mari takes a leap of faith and replies.

What harm could come from one, innocent message?

Soon, as she comes face-to-face with her ‘number one fan’, it’s all too clear things are not what they first appeared. Now trapped by a villain far more sinister than she could’ve crafted herself, the fate awaiting her is inspired by the darkest depths of the monsters in her own novels. 

In order to escape and survive, Mari must use the strength of the heroines she’s spent years writing about. But this villain has spent years inside her worlds too. 

How will she defeat an evil who has learned from the best?

For fans of Misery, YOU, and Behind Closed Doors, million-copy bestselling author Kiersten Modglin brings us a haunting tale of obsession and survival in the form of a writer’s worst nightmare come to life.

First, I want to thank Kiersten Modglin for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review!

OMG!! OMG!! OMG!!! Kiersten Modglin has done it again, totally exceeding all my expectations!! Seriously, every author and their fan base NEEDS to read this ripped from the headlines storyline! Kiersten has never told a story quite like this one as she will tap into all of your emotions. Fair warning you may need a tissue or two!

Kiersten put a lot of heart and soul into creating Mari’s character as I saw similarities In the two. For this reason I not only wanted to reach in the book and give Mari a hug but Kiersten as well too.

Do Not Open is fast paced, totally addicting, insanely suspenseful, nerve wracking, nail biting, and heartbreaking.

Being part of the #Kmod squad I have been dying for her to write a book like this! So, when I found out she was releasing this book I was jumping up and down excited!! I absolutely loved and devoured the book!

Each book Kiersten writes is so completely different from the last book. Every time I fall in love with one of her books I question how she will top this one?! I can’t wait to find out!

What are you waiting for? Run, don’t walk and go pick up Kiersten Modglin Do Not Open today!! Push all your TBR’’s aside and make this one a priority! You will thank me later!! Do Not Open deserves more than 5 stars!

I spend my days by Sabrina’s side. She has everything money could buy – a luxurious home, ahandsome, doting husband who would do anything for her.

But I have to remember why I’m really here.

Dr Roth has made it clear I have to make sure she takes her medication. Because if she doesn’t, there’s hell to pay. Three times a day, I count her sedative pills carefully. Sabrina rambles about thedeath of a child. About a terrible accident. Dr Roth shakes his head sadly. Delusions are aheartbreaking symptom of his wife’s illness, he says.

But when Dr Roth leaves the house, Sabrina becomes more clear-headed. She tells me she’s done something terrible. And that her husband is lying. He keeps her trapped because of what she did. And I’m the only one who can help her escape.

Can I believe the words of a woman suffering from delusions? Or is Dr Roth not as trustworthy as he seems? Someone is lying. And if the Roths find out why I’m really here, this could take a deadly turn…

The Nurse

Written By Jenna Kernan

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Jenna Kernan, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review!

OMG!! I loved every moment of Jenna Kernan’s latest psychological thriller The Nurse! Once I started reading it I just could not put it down! The Nurse was suspenseful, extremely twisted, captivating, thrilling, and heartbreaking at times! It is a 5 star must read book!!

Ohh how I loved Sabrina and what a firecracker she was throughout this storyline! Her spitfire personality went from hot to cold real quick! However, that is what I loved about her character! She kept you on your toes and never knew what to expect!

Even though I loved Sabrina, Emily came in close second place! She had a huge heart of gold and wanted to help out anyway that she could. Even when times get rough and I loved that about her!

I absolutely loved all the medical and mental health aspects of the book.

This was one ending that I NEVER saw coming and was actually shocked by!! So many emotions ran through my head about the climatic ending!

EXCERPT:

It was him. The man from the plane sat on the bed, staring at a drawing pad on his lap. The spiky red hair, the smattering of freckles, and the creased eyes triggered a series of flashbacks that ran through my mind: the lack of spatial awareness, the soda down my leg, and the stolen dinner roll.

I pulled the covers over my head, my heart racing and the pit in my stomach digging into my pelvis like a concrete boulder. I dragged the duvet below my eyes and squinted, trying not to be obvious. Am I dreaming? Ha! Maybe I’m having a nightmare. The same red hair, now tousled from sleep, rested against the wall. I pushed the blanket down to my shoulders and said, “Hello, again.”

He looked up from his drawing pad and tilted his head to the left, tapping his pencil against his scruffy chin. “I remember you. From the plane.”

I tried to smile, but my lips refused to rise. I pushed my body against the back wall and pulled the sheet closer to my armpits. “What are you doing here, if you don’t mind me asking?”

“I could ask you the same thing. I live here.”

My eyes bulged and I scrambled to a seated position. “You can’t live here. You’re a guy. This is an apartment with women. Foreign exchange students. A bunch of Americans.” I spoke slowly, as if that would make him understand.

Jaime chuckled and looked down again. “Yes, I am aware, but this is my apartment now. I forgot to renew my housing paperwork last semester, and they gave my room away. This was all that was left. They told me I was living with Rory, Zoey, and Marissa. I take it you’re Rory?”

I nodded.

“I thought you were an Irish lad.”

I swallowed loudly, the saliva crawling down the back of my throat. Reaching across my bed to my nightstand, I downed a bottle of water. Cloudiness from the alcohol still in my system slowed down my brain’s processing ability, and I struggled to understand his words. “You can’t live here,” I said again.

“I wish I didn’t. Living with a bunch of Americans during my last year of college is the last thing I want to do, but it’s that or be homeless so I’ll suck it up.” He returned to his drawing and spoke to his paper. “Nice to meet you, Rory.” His amber eyes looked over, scanning my top half. “Fun time last night?”

My brain beat against my forehead, and I massaged my temples. “Yeah. Sorry if I woke you.”

“No worries. I spent the night with my old flatmates. They live downstairs, and I came up here to crash. I didn’t even hear you come in.”

I grabbed the hooded sweatshirt sitting at the end of my bed, and pulled it over my body. “Are you sure they said there was nowhere else? I mean, I don’t know, Jaime. You’re a guy, a stranger, really, and I have a boyfriend. I don’t think he will be too excited when I tell him my roommate’s an Irish guy.”

His liquid gold eyes looked me up and down. “I asked to be moved and they put me on a waiting list if some other American no-shows, but I want my old flat and my old flatmates. Unless they can squeeze me back in there, I’m staying here. So, there it is. An Irish bloke and an American lass living together. That’ll make a good story for the grandkids. Promise, you won’t even know I’m here.”

The Total Knockout
Cookie O’Gorman
(Southern U O’Brien Brothers, #4)
Publication date: September 28th 2023
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Maisie Hawthorne doesn’t do boyfriends.

Or girlfriends. Or relationships. Burned in the past, the scrappy bartender knows better than to trust a pretty face. Dex O’Brien is gorgeous (with or without the scar). Pierced, tatted, annoyingly attractive. She knew he was trouble even before she saw him fight. Her mind told her to stay away—but her heart wouldn’t listen.

Dex O’Brien doesn’t do love.

Not the romantic kind anyway. Sure, he loves his family, would defend them with his dying breath. And yeah, he loves baseball and fighting too. But falling in love? No thanks. Too messy. Dex couldn’t care less, especially about the bookish bartender with the smart mouth and beautiful eyes.

She needs money to pay the bills. He needs a tutor to keep playing ball—even if he’ll never admit it.

When the Southern U Wolves recruit Maisie to tutor Dex, tempers flare and sparks fly.

This new adult sports romance features two scarred souls, one hot-and-hilarious case of enemies-to-lovers, and a sexy set of brothers guaranteed to make you swoon.

The #1 lesson they’ll both learn?

Love is the total knockout you never see coming.

EXCERPT:

I was doing a third pass of the crowd, trying to keep my anxiety in check, when I felt a presence behind me.

“Looking for someone?” a deep voice said.

Smooth like silk.

Edged with a hint of sarcasm.

The sound settled over me like a caress. A totally inconvenient caress. I knew who it was. Recognition came quicker than it should have, wasn’t like we’d talked a lot. Still, I knew the owner of that voice and decided to ignore him.

Or I tried to.

“No answer, huh? Guess I have to assume you’re here to see me.”

“In your dreams, O’Brien,” I said.

“Nah, in my dreams we’re alone, and there aren’t as many clothes.”

I bit back a laugh. “Nice. You practice that one?”

“Didn’t have to. Unlike how you must practice pretending not to like me.”

Again, I ignored him.

“Seriously, what’re you looking for?” he said.

“None of your business,” I replied.

“You just have to ask nicely.”

“I don’t need your help, O’Brien.”

“Suit yourself,” he said, and I could hear the grin in his voice, “though I got about a foot on you, shorty. Good luck finding anything in this crowd without me.”

The fact that he was right just made me loathe him more.

Begrudgingly, I turned…and found Dex O’Brien staring back at me. Piercing gray eyes. Granite cheekbones. Full lips. The grin was there as predicted, so was his ever-present scar that should’ve made him less attractive but didn’t. Yet another injustice in a world brimming with them.

“Okay, fine,” I said and crossed my arms. “Since you offered, I do need your help.”

“Sorry, can you repeat that?” he said.

My scowl deepened.

“Thought I must be hearing things.” He shrugged, crossing one arm over the other. That’s when I noticed the beer he was holding. Of course, he had a drink. Nearly everyone did. He was probably one of those guys who couldn’t have a good time without one. “It’s not every day the Maisie Hawthorne says she needs me.”

Rolling my eyes, I said, “Forget it, Dex. Sorry I asked.”

His lips stretched into a full-blown smile.

It should’ve been illegal for someone with Dex’s bad boy rep to have a smile that pretty.

“And she used my first name,” he said. “Sounds serious.”

“Whatever,” I muttered. “I should’ve known better. You wouldn’t lift a finger if I was dying in the middle of the street.”

He cocked his head. “Depends. What finger and what street?”

Before I could walk away, he placed a hand on my arm. I looked at it, taking in the blood-stained tape wrapped around his knuckles from the fight, then lifted my eyes to his.

“It was a joke, Hawthorne.”

Pulling back and rubbing away the warmth his touch left against my skin, I sighed. “I don’t have time for your jokes, O’Brien. I lost something important tonight.”

“What’d you lose?” he asked.

“My sister,” I said miserably.

Dex nodded. “What’s she look like?”

“Like a younger, happier version of me, I guess.”

“Ah Hawthorne, you’re breaking my heart.”

“Ha ha.”

“So, she’s pretty,” he said.

I blinked. Did he just…call me pretty? Dex “I hate everything about you” O’Brien? Maybe he got hit in the head one too many times.

Seeing my look of surprise, Dex lifted a brow. “I meant in an uptight, straight-laced, no-fun-ever kind of way. Don’t read more into it.”

“I wasn’t,” I lied.

“Sure, you weren’t.”

Diana A. Hicks

Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Find out what happens when a college graduate meets a sexy billionaire in a coffee shop and discovers a chemistry that burns hotter than a steaming latte!

Derek
For as long as I can remember, building an empire has been my only focus. Most people think of me as the all-powerful billionaire, intimidating, and unyielding. I like keeping that wall between me and the rest of the world.

Valentina De Cordoba is the breath of fresh air I never saw coming. She’s the beautiful stranger sitting in the corner of Cafe Trieste. I feel alive when she’s near. Even when she doesn’t know she’s the reason the coffee shop has become my safe haven.

Month after month, I stay away because I can’t drag her down into the dark world my life has become. At best, I could break her heart. At worst, I could destroy her and everything she holds dear.

But then I see her crying. Those brown eyes filled with tears make something inside my chest crack open. Consequences be damned, I break the one rule keeping me alive…I get involved.

Valentina
My lists are how I get things done. The most important task on my crumpled piece of paper right now is to find a home for my son and me.

As a single mom, I don’t have time for complications or distractions of any kind. The playboy billionaire offering me a place to lease would fall under both of those categories.

But when my well-outlined plan goes up in smoke, I find myself with no choice but to accept the handsome stranger’s help. So what if he’s hotter than hot. So what if my broody landlord is now also my new neighbor? So what if I fall?

In 1994, Joseph Hill, a promising college football player, is attacked by a cursed parasite that carries the wicked blood of Moskito—a monster risen from hell to destroy all that is good. Piling onto Joseph’s pending disaster are the trials of navigating freshman academics, experiencing newfound love, and dealing with cruelty from his teammates about his Native American roots.

The pressures on Joseph to fit in are compounded when he suffers from visions during his Native Studies class that are so real that the history lives and breathes within him. His peculiar professor seems to know something about Joseph and his family’s past. After she teaches him how greed and revenge have shaped the present darkness, he learns about a prophesy from 1794: a savior of the Nations will rise to face an epic battle against evil to prevent the extinction of the bicentennial Canandaigua treaty.

Soon, legends of terrifying beasts and vile mosquitoes that crawl underneath human flesh become a reality for Joseph, and as friends and family go missing, he’s left with no choice but to fight Moskito and his army of Moskitowalkers or lose everything and everyone he cares about.

About the author

As a young boy I had night-terrors that left me screaming bloody murder in the middle of the bedroom I shared with my older brother. He recalls me standing before our chest of drawers and trying to open it, saying, “the odd spot, the odd spot is trying to get me.”
The nightmares got so bad that my faith filled grandmother came to the house to pray over me. She prayed for peace, she also prayed that I’d one day become a priest. I’ve found peace on most days, but like most, it fluctuates. I’ve also become a priest…of sorts. Well, to the relief of my wonderful wife and two brilliant daughters, I only play one on tv.
My first stint many years ago was in a little indie short film, titled Testament, where I played Julian, a young priest in an end-of-world scenario. A few years after, I landed the title role of Nicholas of Myra, in the story of Saint Nicholas, where I play the young bishop throughout his heroic and historic life.
Then came along Moskito, a serial I crafted for television and have since adapted to a book series. The three-volume start is just the tip of a long arrow in the ongoing saga that takes place in the Finger Lakes region of New York. The story follows Joseph Hill, a college football player who is bitten by a mosquito that carries the wicked blood of a demon from hell. Afterward, he and his friends find themselves immersed in a supernatural battle that comes to pass in horrific ways. I’ll be playing the protective role of Father Michael Bartlett, a mysterious Jesuit Blackrobe, who lives faithfully until he decides that he must fight fire with fire. Yes, the brimstone kind of fire.
Waiting in the wings is Father of Lies, a story that follows the life of Father Nathan Appleton. Like Father Michael, he’s a priest who takes the law into his own hands when he finds out that the city's most honored officer has sold his soul to the devil.
Over the stretch of my creative career, I happily look back to the ‘odd spot’ and to the influence of early prayers, my supportive family, and the struggles along the way. I know that this journey has shaped me to become who I am today and the kind of stories I love to tell. I pray that you love them too.
From the odd spot to you. Thank you for reading, watching, and listening.

#BookReview #BlogTour #TheChristmasPromise #LindsayGibson #HarpethRoadPress

From the newest sensation in contemporary romance comes a delightfully heartwarming holiday story that’s perfect for fans of RaeAnne Thayne, Denise Hunter, and Debbie Macomber.

Art buyer Charlotte Moore is given the chance of a lifetime to be head buyer for the esteemed Wallace Gallery’s Christmas charity gala. But when she arrives at auction, after the most prominent pieces are all bought up, in a panic, she bids on the final painting—an unsigned sunset landscape she’s nearly sure her boss will despise.

To save her job, she finds herself in the beautifully festive New England coastal town of Seabreeze, the setting of the painting. When a nor’easter blows through, she’s stuck at the adorable Cove Hill Inn, all decorated for the holiday and brimming with Christmas magic. While it’s not an awful place to be snowed in, her ability to work is at a standstill, with the gala looming closer.

And she isn’t expecting to meet the innkeeper’s soon, ruggedly handsome Aiden Bennett, a distraction she definitely doesn’t need. Even the inn’s cherry scones and the town’s Christmas fair are no match for Aiden’s charm.

However, when she uncovers a family secret that could impact everyone, including herself and Aiden, it might shake up more than just the holiday. Under the shimmer of the town twinkle lights and the snow-covered Christmas trees, will Charlotte find the answers she’s looking for? Or has she unearthed something else entirely?

A heartwarming, holiday love story that will have you on the edge of your seat, reaching for the gingerbread cookies and hot cocoa.

The Christmas Promise

Written By Lindsay Gibson

Book Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Review

First, I want to thank Lindsay Gibson and Harpeth Road Press for providing me this book so I can bring you this review!

It may be October but thanks to Lindsay Gibson I am getting into the Christmas Spirit a bit earlier this year! The Christmas Promise is a beautiful story that will put a smile on your face, love in your heart and wanting to start your Christmas cookie baking!

Harpeth Road Press’s Graphic Designers did a beautiful job on this breathtaking book cover! The colors were so pretty! I don’t think there has ever been a cover by Harpeth Road Press that I didn’t like.

Lindsay transported her readers back to the 1919’s where we learned about Oliver’s and Alice’s beautiful love story. Oh how this storyline gave me all the feels!

Being a worry wort and overthinker being put into the situation Charlotte was I would have acted the same way.

Oh how I want to jump in the book and stay at the hotel at Seabreeze! It seemed so warm, cosey, inviting, and full of small town Christmas spirit. Not to mention the meals described sounded amazing!

If you are looking for some Christmas spirit give The Christmas Promise a try.
