Black Hearts by Tori Fox - Excerpt Reveal

Black Hearts

Tori Fox 

Genre: Dark Rockstar Romance

I’ve been in love with Charlie Fortier since we were seven years old and she punched me in the face for pulling on her pigtails.

She was the girl next door. 

I was the punk ass kid who got in trouble. 

She told me she loved me when she was seventeen. I broke her heart instead. 

Then I left. And my band became one of the biggest in the world. 

She was always around. On the sidelines. Being my friend. 

And I’ve spent the last twelve years in love with her. She just doesn’t know. 

But I can’t tell her. Because I can’t be with her. 

I made too many deals to keep her safe. 

I owe too many debts for those same reasons. 

Now I'm back home. And she is everywhere. Staying away is too hard. But the truth is harder. 

I have scars on my black heart and they all belong to her.

Arlowe 

“I think that there’s been some kind of mix up.” 

That’s my first clue that my stay in Lilac Harbor isn’t going to go according to plan. 

There’s been a mistake with my rental booking and now instead of having the charming little bungalow on the shore all to myself, I’ve got a not so charming roommate. 

Yates Warner. 

He’s a grump in every since of the word, but there’s something about the guarded translator that tugs at my heartstrings. 

I’m determined to make the best of this situation, and who knows? Maybe my grumpy giant and I can even be friends. 

Yates 

Yeah, we’re definitely never going to be friends. 

Arlowe Mitchell is too sweet for a grouchy loner like me. She’s too friendly, too generous, and way too optimistic. 

Also, incredibly too tempting. 

The more time that I spend with her, the more that I want her. 

When she tells me about the newest book her book club is reading and says how she always wanted to have a summer fling like the characters, I finally get my opening. 

A four-week fling. No strings attached and we part at the end of the month to go our separate ways. The only rule we have is to not get attached. 

I thought that it would be a piece of cake to follow it but the more time I spend around my new roomie, the more I realize that I’m in real trouble of breaking our one and only rule.

Trope: Wrong Side of the Tracks Romance, Opposites Attract, Blue Collar Romance

Escape with the Meet Cute Book Club, where meet cutes don't happen only between the pages of romance novels, and one by one, all the members find their own happily ever afters. 

Mila 

I never thought I’d have a real-life meet cute, but the minute Crossland Parker walks into my life, it starts feeling like I’m living in the pages of a romance novel. 

He sweeps me off my feet, and I find myself falling fast and hard for the rough around the edges mechanic. He’s a troubled bad boy with a heart of gold. 

Cross fits into my life effortlessly, even sharing my love of books. He’s everything I didn’t know I wanted in a man. Attentive, sweet, a little bit possessive. He’s also my biggest source of support when I decide I want to buy the building next door so I can expand my business. So what if he has a criminal record? No one is perfect. 

Unless you ask my stepfather. He expects nothing less than perfection, but not even I could ever come close. 

Cross 

After spending too many years wandering when I was released from prison, I came back to Abbott Ridge to start over. 

I wasn’t expecting Mila Santos to fall into my arms, but I’m irrevocably drawn to the curvy little beauty who owns the bookstore. She’s a good girl, too good for a guy like me. 

Our relationship develops faster than most, but I spent too many years of my life locked up. Now that I’m out, I refuse to waste a single second. I’m still not sure I deserve someone as sweet as Mila, but if she accepts me and all my faults, there’s no way I’m letting her go. Only a fucking fool would do that. 

My past is no secret, and I knew the day would come when someone would try to use it against me. I just didn’t expect it to happen so soon. 

Is happily ever after possible when a good girl falls for the guy from the wrong side of the tracks? 

The Book Boyfriend is a standalone, wrong side of the tracks romance that is part of the Meet Cute Book Club multi-author series.

Tate 

Macy Carmichael has been my friend with mind-blowing benefits for a long time now. But, I’ve been craving more from her. More than she’s ready to give. 

When my siblings book me on an all-inclusive cruise, I jump at the idea of a free vacation and a chance to get away for a while. Unfortunately, my meddling older sister left out a few important details—like the name of the cruise. Love at Sea. Is she for real? 

If that’s not bad enough, she signed me up for a variety of activities and makes me promise that I’ll take part in every single one. She also failed to mention that she convinced Macy to book the same cruise. 

Imagine my surprise when she sits down across the table from me during the speed dating event I didn’t even want to attend. All bets are off. I’ll be damned if some other man is getting close to what’s mine. 

Macy 

Desperate for a vacation and break from everyday life, I take the suggestion of a close friend and book myself a week-long cruise. I even go along with her recommendation. 

The Love at Sea cruise aboard the Heart of the Deep. It doesn’t sound like a bad idea, even if the whole cruise is based around finding and celebrating love. 

But when my best friend with toe-curling benefits, Tate Thorne, shows up during the speed dating event, I know I’m in trouble. No matter what I do, it always comes back to him. 

Maybe away from the hustle and bustle of our small town, we can finally explore something more. That is, if I can finally let go of all the “rules” of our previous arrangement. 

Ship Happens is a friends to lovers romance, part of the Love at Sea multi-author series. Get ready to set sail through the Caribbean on Festival Cruises’ most alluring voyage with eight of your favorite authors - happily ever after guaranteed!

Jaime 

Who says you can’t go home? 

Coming back to Abbott Ridge and starting over was my plan. But, just like everything in life, plans change. Especially when the interior design reality tv show I dreamed of being a part of gets canceled before filming even begins. Now I’m stuck without a job and forced to rethink how I’ll start my own company. 

Insert, Wade Dempsey. 

Owner of Dempsey’s bar, and one of my closest friends from college. He immediately offers me a temporary job working with him, like old times. 

It's an offer I can't refuse. Oh, and did I mention that my new boss is even sexier than I remember? 

Things between us are going great...until a call from New York presents me with a new offer that has me second guessing my stay in Abbott Ridge. 

Wade 

Home is where the heart is. 

I’ve spent my whole life in Abbott Ridge, running in and out of my family's bar until I was finally old enough to take over. Now I’m in charge, but it’s a struggle to keep the place from going under. I need fresh ideas to compete with all the fancy bars and clubs popping up downtown. 

Insert, Jaime Harlow. 

Having Jaime back behind my bar seems like a good place to start. She’s an inspiration and a breath of fresh air, in more ways than one. 

Old times, new feelings - and one stormy night - are all we need to ignite the desires I never realized existed. 

When New York calls for Jaime and the only future I’ve known goes up in flames, we find ourselves faced with a huge dilemma that threatens our new found relationship. Can we really make this work when right now it feels like we can't even see eye to eye? There’s only one way to find out. 

The Hometown Dilemma is a standalone, return to hometown romance that is part of the multi-author series, Meet Cute Book Club. Escape with this swoon-worthy collection of romances where meet-cutes don't only happen between the pages of romance novels and members find their own happily ever afters.

Buck Up, Buttercup by Anna Alkire - Blog Tour, Guest Post & Giveaway

Buck Up, Buttercup

Anna Alkire

Publication date: June 30th 2022

Genres: Comedy, Contemporary, New Adult, Romance

All’s fair in love and war.
With Randi and Buck, it’s hard to tell the two apart…

An uptight, self-contained college girl, Randi Becker just needed one thing: a room. Somewhere she could study, and keep away from the things that most confuse and frighten her: people.

Unfortunately, the “nice quiet place” she reserved turns out to be a room in the campus’ most raucous house. A place seemingly designed to make studying impossible, made even worse by the other girls’ non-stop drama.

But then Buck, a fun-loving cowboy whom all the ladies love, shows up…and everything gets much worse.

Buck seems to have it all: friends, fun, and a never-ending line of admirers. But what he most desires is a break. So when Buck spots Randi, he figures she’s a perfect decoy: he can play up a “crush” on her that will take him off the market; buy him some breathing room. And if he can tease her a bit, and get under the skin of the uptight busybody? Well, that’s just gravy.

But Buck is about to find more than he bargained for. Randi’s strong-willed, opinionated, difficult—and maybe just what he needs. And Buck isn’t alone. Soon Randi wonders as well…if the world she wanted is really the world she needs. If her future is nothing more than a diploma on the wall. And if the most important thing in her world isn’t a grade, but the cowboy who’s planted his boots firmly in her heart.

Fans of Beth O’Leary’s The Flatshare and Sally Thorne’s The Hating Game will delight at this mix of romantic comedy, contemporary romance, and cultures colliding in a campus town with a western flair. Grab your copy today, and fall in love with Buck Up, Buttercup!
