Scarred Dreams By Barbara Whitaker (BLOG TOUR) (RABT BOOKS PR)



Historic Romance

Date Published: 12-12-2022

Publisher: The Wild Rose Press


In 1944, a German artillery shell destroyed Milt Greenlee’s future in professional baseball. His hideously scarred face and useless arm require him to relearn and recondition. But no amount of rehab will restore his looks or his self-confidence. There’s no chance a “cripple” like him could catch the eye of the stunning Nurse McEwen.

Army Nurse, Annie McEwen dreams her voice will take her far away from her hateful, overbearing father. She hopes Milt, a patient who fought in Sicily, might be the one who can help her find closure with the death of her cousin. 

As their attraction grows, how can their relationship survive Annie's fears and Milt's secret?

Rescued By The Zandian By Renee Rose and Rebel West (BLOG TOUR) (LITERALLY YOURS PR)


Humans lie. I learned that lesson once before.


Rescued By The Zandian, an all-new out-of-this-world, alien, sci-fi romance from USA Today’s bestselling authors Renee Rose & Rebel West is available now!


Humans lie.

I learned that lesson once before.

I thought I found a mate but she betrayed us all.

I won't let that happen again.

Not even when I find Sia and four other females nearly dead on a defunct planet.

Not when the lovely female is remanded to my custody.

She's not being honest about what she knows. 

But with a little pressure, a little punishment, I might get her to talk.

Teach her to obey.

Find out all her secrets.

Because every human needs a master.

And I won't allow any other being to be hers.

Sia belongs to me now.

He pulls me into his body and drops a kiss on my head, and I want more. He hasn’t kissed me yet, not on the lips. I know beings do this, at least ones who enjoy the activities that Daven and I partook of earlier. It’s not a memory, but more of a core knowledge. Where I come from, slaves like me don’t get mated and don’t get pleasure. But we talk about it with each other; some of us have seen things on other planets or in other ownerships. We slaves amass more group knowledge than our Ocretion masters know or would like us to have.


“If you’re going to use that pretty mouth to lie, I might as well teach you how to use it to atone for your sins. Right now.”


This beautiful female has utterly changed me. I’m as bonded to her as she is to me. She’s shown me what it is to trust again. To care. And yes, to love.

Wages of Sin By Onley James and Neve Wilder (BLOG TOUR) (INKSLINGER PR)


We are so excited to share the Wages of Sin series from Onley James and Neve Wilder! We’re going to be highlighting each of the three titles this month–check out the series today and be sure to grab it today!


Series Title: Wages of Sin

Author: Neve Wilder & Onley James

Genre: Dark MM Romance


All the emo, sex, and sarcasm you'd probably expect from an Onley James/Neve Wilder collaboration…


Jonah taught Cas a million ways to protect his body but not one to protect his heart.


Smart-mouthed hacker Caspian escaped an abusive home at sixteen. Now he’s one of the most sought-after black hatters in the world.

Jonah is a ruthless contract killer with only one weakness, the vibrant runaway he took in years ago: Caspian.

But Cas bailed when he turned eighteen, and Jonah has maintained a steady diet of eat, kill, sleep since then.

Jonah had always been the fatal flaw in Cas’s code, the bug that froze the part of his brain separating logic from emotion.

A threat to Cas’s life brings him back years later—not as the boy Jonah remembers, but as a hardened computer hacker with a price on his head and a list of names everybody wants.

The chemistry between them is as undeniable as it is dangerous.

In a world of secrets and murder, trust is a liability and feelings can get you killed. But Jonah let Cas go once, and he’s not willing to do it again. Even if it means confronting his past, solving a twisted puzzle, and taking out half of New York City’s seedy underbelly to keep Cas safe.

Bad Habits is a steamy, action-packed thrill ride of a romance with a HEA and no cliffhangers. It features morally ambiguous men, pancakes drizzled with snark, chosen family, drive-in movies, and the kind of love that drives a guy to murder in order to protect. In short: all the emo, heat, and sarcasm you'd probably expect from an Onley/Neve collaboration. This is book 1 in the Wages of Sin series. Each book will follow a new couple.



“When you talk, chaos follows and I forget who I am.”

Madigan has spent his life indulging in the world’s most hedonistic pursuits, his skills as a sharpshooting killer-for-hire paying his way.

Azrael, an assassin referred to as the angel of death, is a chemist and a loner, his poisons as lethal as they are undetectable.

A chance encounter leads to a passionate night and a heated rivalry that spans years, but after they’re both offered a chance at big money by taking out elite targets on a mysterious hitlist, they find themselves once again in each other's way. And then in each other’s arms.

Trust doesn’t come easily for either of them, but no matter how far they stray, fate always seems to pull them back together. In a profession where your partner is just as likely to kill you as kiss you, maybe trust is as close to love as they get?

Play Dirty is a steamy, action-packed thrill ride of a romance with a HEA and no cliffhangers. It features two stubborn rival assassins who can’t seem to stop tempting each other, a bit of knife play, a Die Hard-style Christmas, plenty of dark humor, and true love. Because even assassins deserve their soulmates. This is book 2 in the Wages of Sin series. Each book will follow a new couple.



You’re a vigilante in an argyle sweater.”

Straight-laced psychologist Tobias is an expert in the deviant behavior of others but a novice when it comes to his latest endeavor: serial killer.

After years of high-profile kills and mentoring numerous other assassins, laid-back Soren lives his life in a state of semi-permanent vacation. He comes out of an early retirement to help out a friend, only to set off sparks with the renowned psychologist when they discover they’re hunting the same man.

One shaky truce later, Soren has a new mentee in Tobias.

Soren finds Tobias and his dark impulses fascinating. Tobias finds Soren’s relaxed attitude infuriating. They have nothing in common except their ability to kill and chemistry neither can deny. But a kill list, a rage room, the Irish mob and the ghosts of their past all stand in the way of their happily ever after.

Head Games is a steamy, thrill ride of a romance with a HEA and no cliffhangers. It features an uptight, sweater-loving psychologist with a taste for blood and a soft spot for his murderous yorkie, the most zen contract killer to ever mosey the earth, plenty of dark humor, and true love. Because even bad dudes deserve their soulmates. This is book 3 in the Wages of Sin series. Each book follows a different couple.

I stand there, unable to speak, breathe or move while I wait to see what he does next.


I don’t put my glass down for fear I’ll take her hands in mine. If I do that, I don’t know if I’ll be able to stop myself from pulling her into my arms and kissing her.


Aiden is so strong and comfortable. He puts a hand on my hip , and I swear I’ve never felt so content in my life. My eyes become heavy, and I decide to shut them for a few minutes. “Jeannie. Jeannie .” I hear the whisper, but my eyes are too heavy to open. A big hand runs down my side and I shiver. I don’t ever want him to stop touching me.


“I’ll see you soon, queen."


The older woman limps away, and Jeannie seems to exhale in relief at her departure. She looks around and our eyes lock again, but she blushes and breaks the stare much too quickly. She moves to the back row of white chairs and takes a seat. She rummages through her purse, and I expect her to pull out her phone, but she surprises me. She pulls out a book. I can’t see the title or cover from here, but my interest is piqued yet again. She opens it, flips through a few pages, and looks down. I know the exact moment when she tunes everything out and focuses on the words in her book, and I make it my mission to find out what she’s reading before she leaves here tonight.
