Overachiever by S.M. Shade

Release Date: January 28

It started with a summer job and a ridiculous sex dream.

If you were to ask my friends to describe me, they’d tell you I’m an ambitious person. Responsible, driven, and focused on my goals. Words like stubborn and uptight would probably get thrown in there too. I’m not sure about that, but I know who I’m not.

I’m not the woman who lets a guy derail me from my plans. Watching others make that mistake has taught me well. No serious dating. No relationship until I’m successfully settled into my career. That’s the promise I made to myself and I’m determined to keep it.

Despite being an excellent student, there’s one lesson I fear I’ve learned too late. Funny men aren’t as harmless as they seem and should be avoided at all times. They sneak in under your radar and end up under your skirt. One second you’re laughing. The next you’re hunting for your underwear on a hotel room floor. Believe me, it’s not worth it.

If only my heart would stop screaming louder than my brain, I might be able to believe that Owen falls into that category. He’s my friend, but every day we spend together in this hotel, or working on our summer job building houses for charity, the harder it gets to convince myself we shouldn’t be more.

Years of diligence, and I’m being destroyed by a goofy smile

Rock Star, Confined by S.M. Shade

Release Date: September 10

There was so much I never saw coming.

Opening for Tragic, one of the most famous bands in the world, catapulted me from mediocre anonymity into the limelight.

The leap from struggling musician to successful rock star happened quickly.

After my album topped the charts, I was headlining my own tour, performing for thousands of fans, and loving every moment.

Just as suddenly as my career began, it slammed to a halt, stopped by a word uttered worldwide.

Pandemic.

With my tour postponed, it looked like my year wasn’t going to be a promising one, until I ended up quarantined with Geneva Rowe. Sexy, funny, and a frustrating mystery, Geneva made the days fly by.

“Sometimes the universe intervenes.”

I couldn’t remember where I heard those words, but they stuck with me. Not until this year, did I believe they could be true.

Now if only it could help me convince this stubborn woman we could have more than a temporary isolation fling.

"Not a word is spoken but it doesn't feel necessary. Does he feel that too? The way we seem to be in tune with one another. Comfortable in silence but compelled to touch."

4 Quarantined Stars!! A book that really hit home during these crazy times!

Geneva is a writer and is ecstatic that she scored a house rental for six months, especially with the virus spreading across the U.S. And it was just want she needed, quarantined alone in a place where she can write and just drown out the craziness of the world. But that all changes when an unexpected house guest shows up. Patrick, a rock star who's tour is cancelled due to the virus, asked his manager to find him a house, which leads him to the exact house Geneva already had rented out. Not wanting him to be out in the "virus" ridden world, she decides that they can share the house together and quarantine together. Great right? But when these two strangers, with issues and dark secrets are stuck in a house together... something is bound to happen!

I have to say this book really hit home for me during this crazy time we are living in. I really related to the uncertainty they both were facing and the anxiety this whole thing has created. Shade definitely hit this storyline with delicacy and knowledge!! I loved the build up of these two characters and their stories and backgrounds. I was hooked the minute I started reading and I can't recommend this more!

Excerpt

I need to know we’re on the same page. “Patrick, what do you want from me?”

“Want from you?” He stares down at me, his fingers trailing across my inner thigh.

“I’m not looking for a relationship or anything serious, but I’m open to a temporary fling situation while we’re staying here. If that’s what you want.”

His eyes darken as he looms over me and the shift in his expression warns I’m not dealing with the kind, polite man I’ve come to know. What lust ignites in him is deep, primal and unrestrained.

God, the way his voice drops close to a growl as he responds is enough to weaken anyone. “I want to fuck you in every way possible, in every position imaginable. I want to make you come in ways you never fathomed in every available bit of space in this house, then move outside where the world can hear you scream my name until you’re hoarse. That’s what I want, Geneva.”

My words are drowned out by the thump of my heart in my ears. “I can live with that.”

Rock Star, Unbroken (Tragic Duet, #2) by S.M. Shade

Tragic Duet #2

Release Date: January 23

I knew better and I let it happen anyway.

I was drawn in by her kindness and the way she sees into people. The way she looks through their motivations, their fears, into the heart of them where the good waits. One glance and she’s stripped away the layers we wrap ourselves in to keep from being unique.

She saw into me.

Then used it to her advantage.

Now, my son is in danger and if she’s behind it, there won’t be a hole deep enough for her to hide in.

I broke my own rules for Naomi.

My son will not pay the price.
