Pre-order Blitz for How to Ruin a Wedding by Sophie Andrews




Title: How to Ruin a Wedding
Author: Sophie Andrews
Genre: Steamy Romantic Comedy
Tropes: Grumpy/Cinnamon Roll Hero
Release Date: September 15, 2023


BLURB

There are three things to know about Tilly Mahoney:
1. She’s a liar.
2. She thinks she’s in love with her best friend.
3. She’s got a plan to ruin his wedding.

Tilly and her best friend have been through it all. For decades, he has been her support system, and she’s been his right hand gal, and now he’s engaged to someone else?

Not on her watch.

"Hey, want to help me break up a wedding?" is a dubious start to an unlikely friendship, but the bride’s ex-boyfriend, Zack, is the perfect partner in crime for Tilly's misguided plan to spoil the nuptials. The bearded and brooding man is clearly desperate to win back the love of his life, and she’s all too willing to help if it’ll break up the happy couple.

But the more she tries to interfere with the wedding and the closer she gets to Zack, the more confusing Tilly's feelings become. About a decades-long friendship, about what she thought was love, and most terrifyingly, about the way Zack saves all of his smiles for her.

When Rosalind married Jonathan Cramble, she thought her boys finally had a good man to look up to. She was wrong. When pain and suffering become her everyday reality, Rosalind flees with her children to find a better life.

Or will he destroy everything good she's been working for, including her children's safety?




I was at Rock Bottom - Until I fell into his arms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Life is hard, but living is harder. I learned that from an early age. Abandoned by my mum at three years old after my father deserted us, I was passed from foster home to foster home. I wasn’t a trouble child, just not loveable enough to be adopted. Life in Foster care was good until I reached 17. Then life became hell on earth.

After months of abuse by my foster dad, I got out and started a life of my own. You would have thought I would have trust issues, but that was my problem, I trusted too easily. That’s how I find myself dumped by a cheating boyfriend, homeless because of my housemate, hungry, exhausted, and sleeping in my car.

Then I fell into his arms. He was sweet, loving, caring, and protective. Everything I could want in a man.

But I can’t let my guard down. I won’t be hurt again.




It took almost dying for me to find something worth living for.

Being disabled was hard enough, but being overweight and disabled? It was a nightmare. Especially when my disability was making one of my legs blow up like a balloon while doctors just ranted at me about losing weight.

I was homebound, writing romance novels just to have something to break up the monotony, and had exactly two friends who cared enough to check in on me.

And then I ended up in the hospital, flagging for sepsis with not one, but two serious infections.

Enter Lennon. Amidst all the agony and humiliation, my gorgeous, goofy, and kindhearted night nurse was like a bright light, guiding me back from the brink.

I kept telling myself not to fall. That the connection I felt with him was nothing more than my desperation for human contact. But the more I got to know him, the more I let myself hope for something that seemed impossible.

Was I deluding myself, or had this romance novelist finally found her own happily ever after?

Review:
Play is a really great read. Ryan and Katrina are in a relationship. I liked both of them, but I wasn't sure at first if Katrina was 100% feeling Ryan; then in comes Langston. Langston and Katrina have chemistry. Langston had a big ego, but he was ready to put in the work for Katrina. Ryan was also prepared to fight for Katrina too. Honestly, I like both Ryan and Langston, and I'm not sure who I hope she ends up with. The ending had a cliffhanger that I'm still thinking of, and I can't wait to see where the storyline goes next.
5 Stars!!

AUTHOR BIO

M. Jay Granberry is first and foremost an insatiable reader.

Among her favorite things are classic fairytales, smutty books where characters have heart, old lady sweaters (preferably chunky knit), gift baskets (giving not receiving), and charcuterie trays (green olives, smoked cheese, and Genoa salami).

M. Jay earned a degree in words and stories, and after fifteen plus years of doing everything other than writing, she penned her first novel.

She is a true Las Vegas native, the one in Nevada not New Mexico, and to answer the most frequently asked questions about growing up in Sin City...

No, she doesn't live in a hotel.

No, she has never been a stripper although she does know some.

Prostitution is absolutely illegal in Clark County (Las Vegas).

And what happens in Vegas does indeed stay in Vegas.

Release Blitz for Cinnamon Roll Saviors Collection

Title: Cinnamon Roll Saviors Collection
Week #2 Authors: Sara Hurst, Christina Lollabrigida, Danielle Jacks, and Eve London
Releases: August 22-26, 2023
Genres: Steamy/Spicy Contemporary Romance
Cover Design: CPR Designs


TROPES: found family, rich vs. poor, secret billionaire, damsel in distress, surprise baby

TROPES: age gap, single guardian, small town, he falls first

TROPES: F/F romance, slow burn, coming home, forced proximity, friends to lovers

TROPES: rock star romance



Lost and alone until fate, in the form of a gorgeous stranger, stepped in.

What chance did I stand against fate? The stars aligned for me.

So, I went all in, and I found my perfect match. The one who completed me. Someone who didn’t want me for my money or what it could do for them. Who only wanted me.

______

She was a beacon in the night. A beautiful damsel in distress whose loneliness tugged at my soul.

But then the truth came out, and doubt set in.

The biggest question—would I be able to forgive and forget, or were we doomed to fail?

The biggest problem—if forgiveness is impossible, would I be able to live with the decision while longing for what could’ve been?




She suffered.
She persevered.
She provided.

Isabelle Marietta was used to running, and nothing was more satisfying than feeling
the pavement beneath her feet. When tragedy struck her family, she fell back on the one
thing she was good at: running, this time with her ten-year-old brother in tow.

Five years later, Isabelle’s brother decided he was done running from invisible
threats. When the high school’s guidance counselor, Nate Marshall, discovers the truth
and the past threatens to catch up to them, Isabelle is prepared to run again. But Nate is
determined to show Izzy that she can stop running once and for all.




Who says a cinnamon hero has to be a guy?

Lara is the cutest, most annoying human I’ll never adequately match up to. She’s a charity worker by day and takes care of sick animals by night. She’s the girl who always wins the awards but finishes last when it comes to relationships. She’s like a sugar rush that never bursts, and I’m not that kind of hyper. The problem is, I’m the injured bird this time around and hers is the only offer I’ve had to nurse me back to health.

Can we survive the next six weeks, or will she drive me to do something more stupid than breaking my leg?




He’s about to rock his best friend’s little sister’s heart strings.

Sloane
My brother’s band is coming to town and has agreed to show up at a fundraiser I’ve arranged. There’s only one problem: Dunn Blackwood. He’s the lead guitarist and the man I’ve been in love with for as long as I can remember. Too bad for me, he’s also my brother’s best friend. There’s no chance of anything happening between us. He’d never look twice at a girl like me when he can have any woman he wants.

Dunn
I’ve resisted Sloane Ellis for years, but when I see her standing there, all grown up with a smile I could get lost in and curves that just won’t quit, I’m done denying myself. And when her brother backs out of attending a dinner with her, I can’t step up quickly enough to take his place. She doesn’t know it yet, but her heart belongs to me, and I’ll do whatever it takes, even break up the band, to prove it to her.
