Thrilled to be hosting a spot on the PUCKED OVER by Beth Anderson Blog Tour hosted by Rockstar Book Tours. It's a Spicy Sports Romance that'll definitely warm up those cold winter nights 😉. Check out my review, the rest of the tour, and make sure to enter the giveaway for your chance to win!

PUCKED OVER, a Sweet and Spicy Hockey Romance

Author: Beth Anderson

Pub. Date: December 16, 2024

Publisher: Full Tilt Romance

Formats: Paperback, eBook

Pages: 247

Find it: Goodreads, https://books2read.com/PUCKED-OVER

Stephen Sloan thought he was on top of the world. He's young, he's handsome, he's a star NHL player, and a millionaire to boot. He's got it all- including a girlfriend cheating on him with their entire apartment building.

Olivia Murray thought she was happy. She loves her job as a 911 dispatcher, she loves her boyfriend, Stan, and she loves the new makeover she got done just for their anniversary. But Stan loves sleeping with the new neighbor.

Stephen and Olivia have both been betrayed by the people they loved. When a chance encounter brings them together, will it be something special? Or will they just get pucked over by love once again?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From the quirky and cute cover to the chance for these two to make something memorable happen, my time between the epages felt well spent. 😌

When we first meet our leads, they're in dire straits, or at least their love lives are in dire straits. He's just had his proposal plans turned into a risqué circus, and she had her heart stepped on like it was yesterday's doggy business. Did they take it lying down? Heck to the no! He makes strides to clear out his life, and she takes her dolled up self out for a well deserved dinner. I'll leave you to discover what occurred between the dump and the resurrection because you'll be rooting for them both, even as you wish their hearts were in better hands. By book's end, they've changed their fortunes and have some very spicy memories to boot, but could they make it something more? I mean their hearts are battered and bruised, but love has its own agenda, and sometimes the right one comes along at the most unexpected time.

A great pick for Sports Romance or Contemporary Romance fans who don't mind some spice in their stories, and love memorable characters you'd love to call friend. It's got the heat and the heart; what better way to call it a day?

RRR presents... Miss Anna and the Earl by Catherine Tinley - REVIEW + GIVEAWAY!

Ready for your next must read?

Looking to check out a great voice in the Historical Romance arena?

You've stopped by for the right post, my friend!

Today, we welcome Rachel's Random Resources as we feature the latest release from author Catherine Tinley available now via Harlequin Books. We've got the scoop on this final installment in the charming Lennox sisters trilogy, my thoughts as I wandered through the pages, and your chance to win. Sound like a winning trio? I thought it might. 😉 Ladies and gents, today's blog tour guest and ebook of choice...

Miss Anna and the Earl

Catherine Tinley

Harlequin

Discover the truth of The Triplet Orphans in the final instalment of this compelling Cinderella trilogy!

The key to unlocking Cinderella’s past…

The enigmatic earl?

For Miss Anna Lennox, a house party hosted by the Earl of Garvald is a timely distraction from uncovering the truth about her past. And a chance to indulge her secret tendre for him! She can’t escape her quest for long after discovering the earl’s castle was once her home and he was her playmate as an infant! With so many unanswered questions about her past, is there room for Anna to explore her attraction to the earl and discover if her feelings for him are anything more than rekindled friendship?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you're a fan of author Catherine Tinley, this series is one you've been following already. If you haven't made her acquaintance, and you're a fan of Historical Romance, then it's high time you did!

The Lennox sisters were introduced in Miss Rose and the Vexing Viscount ( link to my review), where we made their acquaintance, and got to know the bookworm of the family as she sought to solve the mystery of their parents, and discovered love. The second installment, Miss Isobel and the Prince, gets us closer to Isobel, the middle sister, and while the mystery mentioned is still being pursued (without much forward motion), love is still showing up in unexpected places...and people (another review to check out). Now, we're finally getting to know the last of the trio, Miss Rose, and getting some answers at last! From recovered memories to childhood connections long felt imagined but now brought vividly to life, riddles solved at length and family ties revealed that were not foreseen, there is so much going on that one could almost miss what's right in front of you... true love. No, not the contrived kind some of the ton felt for their intended in order to make a good match, but the kind that burns bright and settles deep because it's as big a part of us as our need for air. By book's end, all the elements come together to create the perfect masterpiece to close out the trilogy, while giving readers exactly what we were waiting for...a happy and complete ending.

All in all, a great pick for genre fans, and a wonderful addition to the author's body of works. I can't wait to see what's next on her writing horizon... although having just read her infrequent, but enjoyable newsletter, I've got a little inside peek at exactly that!

AWARENESS TOUR: The Tales of Charlie Wags: New York City by Sofie Wells and Ali Barclay, Illustrated by Sanna Sjöström - REVIEW + GIVEAWAY!

HI there, friends!

Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.

Today, we're hosting a stop along an AWARENESS TOUR making its way through the blogosphere via The Children's Book Review. You're in for a good time with an adorable furry friend that's going to show you the magic that can be had...and it all starts with a little tail wag. Let's take a closer look between the epages of today's featured title...

The Tales of Charlie Wags: New York City

Sofie Wells and Ali Barclay

Illustrated by

Sanna Sjöström

Ages: 3-7 | 32 Pages

9798990005006

Publisher: Kendam Press (2025)

About the book...

Charlie Wags is a seemingly ordinary pup. He sits on demand, is appropriately needy, and only sometimes begs for treats.

But Charlie has an extraordinary secret. He loves to travel the world and has a special trick to do so: his wagging tail can whisk him away to far-off places.

This time, he’s off to the Big Apple!

Embark on a panoramic tour of New York City led by ever-curious pup Charlie Wags! From the serenity of Central Park to the dazzling lights of Times Square, Charlie explores the city that never sleeps before returning home for bedtime.

Wherever you may be, The World Is Just a Wag Away.™

Amazon

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm sorry...or rather I'm NOT sorry because little Charlie stole my heart from the moment we met! He's so adorable, well behaved, and such a good boy. Discovering this wee one had a secret was a shock, but learning what it was made all the difference. SO much magic! SO much wonder! SO much adventure! I mean, I knew things were going to be exciting when I stepped between the pages with this four-legged little cutie, but I didn't know we'd be traveling to the Big Apple, sampling the sights, sounds, and tastes of the big city, and even catching a glimpse of the wonders to see when things light up at night! With each turn of the page, we discover famous places, and amazing things, all beautifully illustrated to enhance the story and enchant the eye. Little ones will enjoy the whimsy and laughs to be had, along with the eventual return home because that is truly where the heart is, while older readers will appreciate the virtual walk through the city as they visually explore the landscapes presented.

A lovely way to enhance story time with a little geography, as well as a wonderful way to get their dreams going places at bedtime, I can't wait to see what's next for Charlie and his little wags!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Sister-author duo Sofie Wells and Ali Barclay form the writing team behind The Tales of Charlie Wags picture book series.

As daughters of immigrants, their family heritage exposed the sisters to the importance of cultural diversity early on. Their parents prioritized showing them the world, even on a tight budget, instilling in them the idea that travel is one of the best forms of education.

Knowing that not all children had the chance to explore the world firsthand, they put pen to paper to create a tale about a globetrotting dog. They hoped their story would allow young readers to experience the wonders of the world without ever having to leave their homes.

Their series mission is simple: provide a conversational understanding of the world’s most famous cities through charming stories that make far-off places accessible to every child and family.

ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR

Sanna Sjöström, known professionally as Sannadorable, has loved art her whole life. With an extensive background in watercolor painting, she found it increasingly difficult to find the time and energy for her art after having children. Realizing how quickly she could access her iPad, Sanna began experimenting with digital art, skillfully mimicking the look of watercolor.

Today, Sanna illustrates children’s books and also creates posters, cards, and digital illustration tools. Through her creations, she aims to bring joy and smiles to people’s faces.

Sanna’s distinctive style—rooted in her deep appreciation for nature and her love for finding beauty in the ordinary—brings iconic cities to life in enchanting, rose-colored hues throughout The Tales of Charlie Wags series.
