 Tour Wars

Ten days, two rivals, and a busload of tourists. How bad could it be?

For archaeologist Emilia Flores, landing a fellowship to work at the ancient ruins of Pompeii in Italy is a dream come true. The only catch? She’ll be digging alongside her infuriating nemesis, TJ Mayer, who’s been a constant thorn in her side.

TJ isn’t about to pass up the Pompeii project. Sure, he’ll be stuck working with Emilia, but he thrives on challenging her. And he hasn’t forgotten that secret kiss they shared at an archaeology conference last winter.

Though unearthing Pompeii’s treasures might be a dream, student debt is a nightmare that never takes a vacation. So, when TJ and Emilia are offered a lucrative side job to lead a ten-day tour through Southern Italy, they grudgingly agree to tackle it together.

Forced to set aside their animosity and work as a team, they forge an unexpected camaraderie. As the sparks between them ignite, their rivalry gives way to passion, making it easy to forget their years of fierce competition. But what happens when the tour ends and the real world steps in? 

Tour Wars is a rivals-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine romance featuring a nerdy cinnamon roll hero, a strong-willed Latina heroine, and plenty of hotel hijinks.

Darcy vanished thirteen years ago. Today, she’s coming home.

Darcy Drummond was four when she was kidnapped on a crowded beach. A massive police search and media frenzy followed but the girl was never found. Most people gave Darcy up for dead. Or worse.

Then, one fateful night, she walks into a police station. Seventeen years old. A chance to start over.

As the world celebrates Darcy’s return, Margo Martin, journalist and friend of the Drummond family, receives a strange phone call. A call which leads her step-by-step towards a horrifying revelation…

The real reason for Darcy’s disappearance is a long-kept secret. A secret so shocking, so unexpected that it will plunge the Drummond family into a nightmare they will struggle to survive.

Mark Gillespie writes psychological thriller and suspense novels. He’s a former professional musician (bass player) from Glasgow, Scotland who spent ten years touring the UK and Ireland, playing sessions and having the time of his life. Don’t ask though. What happened on the road stays on the road.

He now lives in Auckland, New Zealand with his wife and a small menagerie of rescue creatures. If he’s not writing, he’s jamming with other musicians, running on the beach, watching mixed martial arts and boxing. Or devouring horror and thriller movies.

The Lost Girl 

Written By Mark Gillespie 

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Mark Gillespie, Inkubator Books, Zooloo Book Tours, and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.

The Lost Girl written by Mark Gillespie is a storyline that could be ripped from the headlines! Oh this book is every parent's worst nightmare with a totally unbelievable jaw dropping ending! 

Mark’s book started out fast paced and quite interesting as Darcy went missing. Obviously, my heart broke for her parents during this time. Then we fast forward in time when both the readers and the parents find out Darcy may be alive. I had just as many questions surrounding her disappearance, what really happened to her, and who had her for all of these years. I eventually got my answers but was not expecting the outcome. 

The author broke up the book in four parts with individual chapters in each part. In my honest opinion he could have written each part as a separate book. This way he could focus more on each individual chapter. 

Even though I enjoyed this book there were parts of this book that I felt dragged on a little longer than they should have.

After the loss of her single father, Josie Wills is forced to give up her dreams and return home to take care of her autistic teenage brother Nick. But she doesn’t just leave her dreams behind; she has to leave her first real love Julian Russell.

Having been the mother figure for Nick his entire life, stepping into the role of parent comes easily for Josie. She adores Nick, and taking care of him makes her feel closer to her mother who never had the chance to see them grow up. For the last three years, Josie has gladly carried the torch and picked up where her mother left off. Although supporting Nick in their small mountain town on a waitress’s salary isn’t as easy.

Willing to put all her faith in her brother’s incredible skills, Josie sells everything they have, to enroll him in a mathematics competition. The two make the journey from their Tennessee town to the upscale world of Rosemary Beach. The stunning, serene coastal town along the Gulf Coast is full of cafés, bicycles, and cobbled streets. What she doesn’t expect is to find Julian.

But Julian isn’t the only surprise that summer. Josie will soon find out exactly how far love can stretch when she uncovers a mystery that will change her life and the lives of those around her forever.

An uplifting summer escape that will strengthen your family bonds and have you believing in the incredible power of love. If you enjoyed the TV movies based on Jenny’s books and are looking for more feel-good, small-town romance, look no further!

I hope you love the sound of it! Grab your ebook copy now! :)

When I graduated college, one of my friends said, "Look out for this one; she's going to be an author one day." Despite being an avid reader and a natural storyteller, it wasn't until that very moment that the idea of writing novels occurred to me.

Sometimes our friends can see the things that we can't.

While I didn't start straight away, that comment sowed a seed and several years, two children, and hundreds of thousands of words later, I completed a novel that I felt was worthy of publication. The result was Coming Home for Christmas, a heart-warming story about friends, family, and the magic of love at Christmas.

The rest is history.

When I'm not writing, I'm publishing through my imprint Harpeth Road Press. I’m also a mother of two boys and a wife to a very supportive husband.

The Secret Ingredient

Written By Nancy Naigle

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Nancy Naigle and Harpeth Road Press for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 

Ohh The Secret Ingredient by Nancy Naigle was a super cute read! This book will put a smile on your face and love in your heart! Ironically enough It doesn’t just read like a Hallmark Channel Movie this book was made into a movie! I have not yet seen it but after reading the book I really want to! 

There were so many things about this book that I adored! The small town setting of the book was so cute! I could see myself living there. I loved the second chance love story that was full of ups and downs and twists and turns to the storyline. 

I absolutely love how they both went and pursued their passions and made a name for themselves. However, I was not a fan of the original break up! But loved the reunion with everyone. 

If you have a sweet tooth this book is definitely for you. As a treat in the back of the book Nancy gives us two of her recipes. 

One thing that I thought was original was she had a mini pet pig named Gray. When you hear why she named him this you will be laughing hysterically. 

This is a cute fun read that can be devoured in one day.

When my best friend’s teenage daughter comes to see me, I know something is wrong. With tear-filled eyes, she says she’s pregnant and begs me not to tell her mother. I know I’m betraying my best friend but as I look at Chloe’s terrified expression, I don’t know how I will find the strength to say no…

No matter what life throws at me, I have always been able to depend on my best friend Rachel. In nineteen years of friendship, we’ve never argued or fallen out. So, I’m wracked by guilt over my decision to keep her daughter Chloe’s pregnancy a secret. I don’t want to break Chloe’s trust but, if I don’t say anything, it could destroy my relationship with Rachel.

I hoped Chloe would find the confidence to tell her mom, but days have passed, and the guilt is eating me alive. As much as I want to support Chloe, I don’t know how much longer l can lie to my best friend. I spend every day completely gripped by a panic that sends my heart racing.

The pressure only worsens when I discover that Chloe has one more thing that she’s been hiding. Something that could destroy the perfect life I’ve worked so hard to build—the family I love so much and the career I’m so passionate about.

Title: Abel (Broken Falls, #2) 

Author: Laramie Briscoe 

Genre:Contemporary Romance 

Release Date:March 15, 2024 

Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

A year worth of flirting comes down to this kiss...

Abel

I've eaten more tacos the past year than I have my entire life. It's not because I love those little handfuls of goodness (although I do). It's because of the woman who runs the local food truck Let's Taco Bout ⬇ ⬇ It. Seeing her makes my day, and while I can't admit my feelings, I can at least see her smile.

Until Halloween. When a man gives her attention she doesn't want, she pretends we're together, and lays a kiss on me that I'll never forget.

Kara

I've spent the last year watching the hottie in the constantly torn and dirty jeans eating shyly walking up to my food truck and ordering the same thing each time. I've done my best to drag him out of his shell, but nothing works until a night of unwanted attention forces me to make a move. 

Now? He's hanging around even more, and when his husky voice calls me his girlfriend? I melt into a puddle, and he's the only one who can pick me up and put me back together again. 

Abel is book two in The Broken Falls Series: a series of interconnected standalones following a group of friends who have become family in small-town West Virginia, and the women who bring them to their knees. You do not have to read them in order, but each book builds upon the relationships of the last.

I'm slightly nervous as I follow him into his kitchen. I gasp when I get a good look. His kitchen is my dream. Stainless steel appliances, cabinets painted a dark gray that almost pulls blue in the darkness coming through the back windows. White marble countertops are spotless and inviting. Contemporary lighting provides enough where it's needed, and softens where it isn't. "You have a pot filler," I gasp with jealousy. 

He laughs. "I do. When Dad and I were designing this place, he said I'd appreciate it if I were ever going to make dinner often. Since I do, I use it all the time."

"You make dinner a lot?" I'm learning so much about him tonight. 

"When I decided to buy this place and gut it, I didn't have a ton of money. Still repaying college loans too," he shrugs.  "So while I do go out with my friends to the bar, I don't spend a ton as I'm paying down stuff. Dad helped me more than he should've, but he wasn't able to take care of everything. The amount of free labor and construction work he gave me for this place was well into the hundreds of thousands. My friends helped too, which is why they hang out here all the time when we aren't working or at Monroe's."

The scent of whatever we're going to eat permeates the room. "What else are you going to surprise me with tonight?" I tilt my head to the side.

"Hopefully everything you never imagined I would be."

Our eyes meet, and I get lost in the green depths of his. I've seen them in many different situations and they tend to change colors depending on what's happening. It runs the gamut from very light to dark, like the luscious floor of the rainforest. "I don't really know you at all do I?" My voice is quiet as I observe him. "Does anyone really know you?"

He scratches the back of his neck, ducking his head down. "There are very few people who do, and I prefer it that way.”

Laramie Briscoe is the USA Today and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author of over 30 books, with sales of over half a million copies.

Since self-publishing her first book in May of 2013, Laramie has appeared on the Top 100 Bestselling E-books Lists on Apple Books, Amazon Kindle, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble. Her books have been known to make readers laugh and cry. They are guaranteed to be emotional, steamy reads.

When she's not writing alpha males who seriously love their women, she loves spending time with friends, reading, and marathoning shows on Netflix. Married to her high school sweetheart, Laramie lives in Bowling Green, KY with her husband.

Abel is the second book in the Broken Falls series.
