Today I'm touring Romancing the Ranger by Jennie Marts. Published by Entangled: Lovestruck on March 14th, this contemporary romance features a sexy park ranger who has to face his worst nightmare: a wealthy, 'big city' woman. 

I've got an excerpt here to entice you and a giveaway from the publisher!

Blog Tour: Reckless by Kimberly Kincaid

My second blog tour book of the day is the delightful Reckless by Kimberly Kincaid.  This contemporary romance was also released by Zebra on January 26th. It's the first book in Kincaid's Rescue Squad series. I've read a few good firemen romances in the last couple years, and so I was quite curious about this one when the opportunity to review came up. Stick around to find out just how good it was...

Because of You by RaShelle Workman

Curiosity Quills Press is touring their January Releases, and I've signed on to share my review of Because of You by RaShelle Workman!  This is a contemporary romance, focused on a couple reuniting at university, after a long and traumatic separation.

Blog Tour: Coming Apart at the Seams by Jenna Sutton

Hey folks!  Long time, no see!

It's been a very hectic six weeks for me, and with the incoming holidays, I'm not seeing signs of a slowdown any time soon.

That said, I have a backlist of reviews that I'm hoping to get to beginning next week, and finishing through January.

Now, with that out of the way, today I am delighted to be hosting a tour stop for the wonderful Coming Apart at the Seams, the second book in Jenna Sutton's Riley O'Brien & Co series. Released by Berkley on December 1st, this book takes us back to the O'Brien family, this time to address Teagan's love life (or lack thereof).

Christmas in October: A Bad Boy for Christmas by Jessica Lemmon

Happy Christmas in October!

This is my last Christmas in October book review! It's been great fun reading this set of five Christmas-themed books, I have to say. I'm a huge fan of the holiday, and while I also quite enjoy Halloween (and books that might be considered Halloween-y), there's just something about Christmas books that I find particularly delightful. 

Please, tell me about your favourite Christmas-themed books in the comments!

Book Tour: All the Right Places by Jenna Sutton

I'm so excited to be hosting a tour stop for Jenna Sutton's All the Right Places! This contemporary romance, from Berkley, focuses on one of the owners of a denim dynasty, and the designer who might help launch the company into a new era of success. I found this book to be such a refreshing change from so many stories that focus on the wealthy but don't spend much time actually showing us how they're acquiring that wealth!

I'm especially excited to share my interview of Jenna Sutton, along with the usual blurb, review, and giveaway! Stick with me, it's all good stuff!

Blog Tour: Gambling on a Dream by Sara Walter Ellwood

I hadn't read Sara Walter Ellwood before this book, and it was the cover that lured me in. It has such a verdant, farm feel to it, I wondered how that jived with the book's blurb! From Lyrical Press and releasing June 9th, 2015, Gambling on a Dream is the third book in the Colton Gamblers series. Dawn and Wyatt, the leads, have a history together that looms large over their occasional efforts to work together in law enforcement. This all comes to a head when a case raises some of their issues, forcing them to confront where things went so right . . . and so wrong.
