New Release + Book Review | Advice From A Jilted Bride by Piper Rayne (@authorpiperrayne)


ADVICE FROM A JILTED BRIDE
The Baileys #2
By Piper Rayne
Release Day March 21




What’s a girl to do after being ditched at the altar by text message? That’s right. Text. Message.

How does she pick up the pieces and move on? I’m no Dear Abby but here’s a little free advice…

Advice #1 – First, purge your apartment of all things him—by tossing his belongings off the balcony.

Advice #2 – Do not, I repeat do not, throw anything out into the hallway because you’ll injure your hot new neighbor.

Advice #3 – When said neighbor brings over Chinese Food do not let him stay and keep you company. It’s awkward when you realize he’s your boss.

Advice #4 – Accept his offer to help you with your side business but think twice before using a date to his sister’s wedding as collateral.

Advice #5 – Investigate who your mystery neighbor really is. Don’t trust his word even if he’s the world’s best kisser.

If you listen to nothing else, pay attention to that last one. It’s the most important and will save you a lot of heartache.

Xo,
LOVESICK IN LAKE STARLIGHT




BOOK REVIEW

4.5/5

If you love the first book of the series, you haven't seen the last of it yet - because it just gotten better. So, Austin had his HEA in Lessons from a One Night Stand and we thought our girl Brooklyn would have the same with her boyfriend, after all they were getting married. 

Good thing that didn't happen. Yep, our Brookie was jilted on the day of her wedding by her a**hat fiance. He was lucky enough not to be in the vicinity or the Bailey boys might have killed him after what he did to their sister.

Brooklyn was lucky enough to have her family hovering over her, but she needed to have an alone time and reflect. Only that didn't happen as well because fate has other plans. When she ended up back at her apartment, her new good-looking neighbor was set out to help her by bringing in Chinese food.

What she didn't expect is this hot-new neighbor to be her boss. Oh no.

It didn't stop the attraction to grow between Wyatt and Brooklyn though. Wyatt was very thoughtful, nice and easy on the eyes. He was there for her when she needed the most, and it helps that the Bailey boys like him. He has his own secrets though, secrets that might set them apart. 

I enjoyed reading this book. I laughed a lot with the family - they were just hilarious, even at the face of heartbreak. I loved how their love story worked out, it didn't feel like a rebound. Oh no, it grew, and I was glad both of them didn't jump into it right away. 

Advice From A Jilted Bride is an easy, sexy and romantic read.

I just can't wait for the rest of the Bailey's HEA!

That time I had the brilliant idea to ask my good friend for lessons in seduction…
Awkward? Maybe. But how else is a good girl going to find out if she likes being naughty? I might be sweet as cherry pie, but I'm also bold and damn curious. And Gabe is charming, trustworthy, aces at seduction (or so I hear) and—bonus!— willing to give me lessons. But to guarantee it won’t ruin our friendship, I have some specific requirements for his instruction. I want these classes to be hypothetical more than hands-on. So what if he’s hella sexy? I can handle that, no problem.

***

I have it bad for Arden. She's bright, brilliant, insanely fun, and I want to take her home and spend all night together—and then spend the day with her, too. When she asks for my help, I see my chance to win her sweet heart by showing her how much fun we can have getting spicy. Trouble is, she has a different idea of what “bedroom exploration” should mean. Now I’m going to have to get really clever to win her over.

Good thing I know exactly how to upend her best laid plans.

~ARDEN~
I’m most definitely a planner, but I never planned to be a good girl.
Honestly, I didn’t even think twice about good girls versus naughty ones. I always figured with sex and love, you could have it all.
That’s what we’re taught as women, right?
You can be prim and proper during the day and wild and daring at night. Or the other way around. Whatever floats your banana boat.
But somehow over the years, I inadvertently landed on the “nice” half of the divide, so squarely in the good-girl camp I’m practically the poster child of oh-so-sweet, and I can’t seem to get a crack at the other side.
Only, I keep peeking over the fence, peering, wondering.
What if the grass is greener? What if I’m missing out on something better in the bedroom and, by extension, something better in life and love?
There’s only one way to find out.
Ask.
The trouble is, when it comes time to woman up and make a request for what I want to try at the ice cream stand of sexual flavors and favors, I wind up with so much more than I bargained for.
More than I’m ready for…
And with so much more to lose than I ever expected.
Guess I’m about to learn if it’s better to be naughty or to be nice.

BOOK REVIEW
5/5
The first thing I like about this book are the characters. Arden, our heroine, is a planner. She likes things in order, she owns a bookstore and she's one of the nicest ladies in town. In fact, her being nice was the reason that one of her boyfriends broke up with her. She was "too vanilla". It was Gabe that lend a shoulder to cry on (like literally) the second it happened. It started a beautiful friendship between the two.
Between bowling and playing Words with Friends occasionally, they were constant in each other's life. She was her go-to person. But something else was lacking. She decided it was time for her to dive into a new relationship, but first she needs to shed off her "vanilla-ness", and the perfect candidate to help her - none other than her best buddy, Gabe.
Gabe is a lady's man. But there was no other lady he wanted than the lady who is constant in his life. But he's wary of risking the friendship at first. When he finally had the guts to give in, Arden gave him the biggest surprise of his life offering him to tutor her with regards to sex. Her list was like heaven for him and it almost matches his fantasies! Of course, there are stipulations. How can he possibly say no?
Gabe and Arden's relationship with the secondary characters (i.e. friends and families) is a nice touch as well. I love how Gabe is with his Pops, and Arden with her girls. 
There is indeed a thin line between friendship and love, and I always believe friendship is the strongest foundation of a relationship. I like how their relationship came about. The sex-ed was a little funny, and off-the-charts steamy. Chemistry is already there between the two and all you have to do is to wait when it will finally self-combust, and when it did, it was just so powerful.

I finished this book in one sitting, completely entertaining, funny, hot, and oh-so sweet. Lauren Blakely makes another perfect romance that would make her readers swoon.

Book Review | Hard As Stone by K.M. Scott (@kmscottauthor)


The Heart of Stone series continues with the next generation! 

Trouble. Playboy. Heartbreakingly gorgeous. Ethan Stone, the only son and spitting image of billionaire Tristan Stone, has a long line of women who would kill for a night with him, and rumor has it he's more than happy to oblige. 

But Ethan has a problem. His family wants him to settle down. Why, he can't understand. But he needs to figure out a way to convince them he's given up his wild ways while at the same time living his life the way he wants to. 

He has a plan, though, and Summer Carmichael, the quintessential girl-next-door, is perfect to help him. But Ethan better watch out or he might just find himself falling for exactly the kind of woman his family wishes he'd bring home.

Blog Tour + Book Review | Lessons From A One-Night Stand by Piper Rayne


If you’re a guy like me, and you find yourself having banged your sexy new boss—the school principal—in the back of your Jeep one drunken night, here’s a few takeaways based on my experience...

Lesson One: Always get her FULL name.

Lesson Two: Consider asking what she does for a living.

Lesson Three: Find out why she’s moved to town. Get details. Details are crucial.

Lesson Four: Don’t alter her bio in front of an auditorium of high school students unless you know she has a sense of humor for that sort of thing.

Lesson Five: If you ignore Lesson Four, apologize instead of flirt when you’re sent to the principal’s office.

Lesson Six: NEVER sleep with her again.

Lesson Seven: Pay attention to this one—it’s the most important of them all.
Don’t fall for your one-night stand.

Class dismissed.
