BENEATH THE WRECKAGE BLOG TOUR

 

"This book has the perfect blend of small-town feels, an unputdownable mystery, and a love story that will have you cheering for the happily ever after. I loved this book!"
~Willow Aster, USA Today bestselling author

Beneath the Wreckage, an all-new moving and incredible love story from bestselling author Catherine Cowles is available now!

It was supposed to be a summer we’d never forget.
Instead, everything was stolen from me.
The best friend who was more like a sister. The innocent way I looked at life.
Leaving me with only unanswered questions.

Returning to the island is the second chance I didn’t know I needed.
And Hunter is the surprise that knocks me sideways.

There’s a hurt in him that calls to my own.
A strength I find in sharing our scars.
Igniting a spark that turns to flame.

But someone isn’t happy about the world I’m building for myself.
And nothing will stop them from tearing it all apart…

Fall in love today!

Beneath the Wreckage 

Wrecked series Book #5

Release Date: September 21, 2021

Review Copy Provided by the Publisher 

This series has captured me from the first page of the first book. I’ve fallen so hard for all of the characters. I love small town romances, and the “homey” feel that comes with them. Catherine Cowles is a master at writing these. I was eager to dive into this latest instalment.

I have wanted Hunter’s book since the beginning. He’s just this great guy that you can’t help but like. He’s everyone’s friend, and an amazing brother. I wanted him to have an equally likeable heroine to make him fall to his knees. That’s where Piper comes in. From the get go these two have great banter, and a friendship quickly develops…and a whole lot of attraction. Isn’t that the best kind of blossoming romances? I think so.

Piper’s story pulled me in right away. The book starts off with a bit of a bang and a tragedy. I seriously wanted to give this girl a big squishy hug.

This book is full of all the things that I love about romance novels. It’s got a character driven plot, amazing chemistry between the hero and heroine, a healthy dose of mystery, and ALL. THE. FEELS. Ms. Cowles is a pro at bringing out every freaking emotion. Do yourself a favour and start this series at the beginning with, Reckless Memories. I mean, they could all be read as stand alone books, but I really think the connection you develop with all of the characters, and their stories, makes the journey through the series just a little bit sweeter.

Matt

Loving Izabel Bryson should be the easiest thing in the world. Heck, she’s been the inspiration for at least half a dozen of the songs he’s written for his rock band, Sad Fridays.

He’s loved her for a decade.

But she’s his best friend and fellow-band mate’s little sister, and he promised a decade ago that he’d never put his hands on her.

She can never be his, no matter how much he craves her.

Izabel

Loving Matt Palmer is the most hopeless thing in the world.

The hours she spends running her friend’s yoga studio and volunteering at the Manchester homeless shelter only go so far in distracting her from the painful truth.

He doesn’t want her.

Because she screwed up that awful night two years before when she slept with Matt’s brother.

He will never be hers, no matter how much she yearns for him.

When a good deed leads to one bed, and one night of ruthless honesty, everything is laid bare. They belong together, but acting on it will cost them everything.

Meet Scarlett Cole

The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy. 

Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada where I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.

 

I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I'm getting the chance to follow that dream.

Excess All Areas Book #1

Review Copy Provided by the Publisher

Scarlett Cole is my unicorn. She’s magical, her words are fantastical, and her stories are beautiful. When one of her books hits my Kindle the rest of the world just slips away for a while. And my kids eat cereal for dinner. 

I loved diving back into Scarlett’s world of rock stars, and that it takes place in Manchester was pretty cool! Though I don’t think I’ll ever get used to the word “arse”. 

This was a bit different from Scarlett’s past rock star books, with the band still waiting for their big break. They’re working their day jobs, which they hate, while performing their hearts out on evenings and weekends. I liked seeing the hustle of a band on the rise. 

If you like emotion and angst in your romance then this book has all that, and more, going on. While the main focus of the plot is between Matt and Izabel, there’s also a lot going on between friends, siblings, and a rather fun Nan  (grandmother) who takes care of everyone. The relationships really pulled me in, and now I’m dying for the next book! 

Matt and Izabel are crazy in love and living with the guilt of what might happen when the band finds out about them. Will her brother leave the band? Will Jase sabotage everything they’ve worked so hard for? It all kept me turning the pages like mad!

Let’s talk about the chemistry between Matt and Izabel and their forbidden romance. Sweet baby Jesus it is smoking freaking HOT! Scarlett always has great sexy times in her books, but this was a bit…extra. And I loved every second of it. 

This book is intense. In every way. The last few chapters had my heart beating like crazy. I was feverishly reading to get to the HEA because the shit had really hit the fan. The climax was explosive. 

I really can’t fully explain all the reasons why I love this book. It just works and it’s utterly amaze balls.

LAST GUARD (PSY-CHANGELING TRINITY #5)

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh returns to a world devastated by change in her award-winning Psy-Changeling Trinity series, where two people defined by their aloneness hold the fate of the Psy in their hands…

Termed merciless by some, and a robotic sociopath by others, Payal Rao is the perfect Psy: cardinal telekinetic, CEO of a major conglomerate, beautiful—and emotionless.

For Canto Mercant, family and loyalty are everything. A cardinal telepath deemed "imperfect" by his race due to a spinal injury, Canto cares for the opinions of very few—and ruthlessly protects those he claims as his own. Head of intel of the influential Mercant family, he prefers to remain a shadow in the Net, unknown and unseen. But Canto is also an Anchor, part of a secretive designation whose task it is to stabilize the PsyNet. Now that critical psychic network is dying, threatening to collapse and kill the entire Psy race with it.

To save those he loves, Canto needs the help of a woman bound to him by a dark past neither has been able to forget. A woman who is the most powerful Anchor of them all: Payal Rao. Neither is ready for the violent inferno about to ignite in the PsyNet…or the passionate madness that threatens to destroy them both.

Review copy provided by publisher

Liza's Review:

Last Guard is the newest book in the popular Psy-Changeling Trinity series from Nalini Singh. In Last Guard we learn about another Psy designation, Anchors, which has never been mentioned as an important designation in past books. 

The pairing of Canto Mercant and Payal Rao is a Psy-Psy paring, which is sometimes a challenging pairing for me. I honestly felt like Last Guard moved slowly for about the first half of the book. I really loved that Canto and Payal had saved each other as children, but hated they had been kept apart for much of their lives. Where Canto was welcomed back into the Mercant family and always protected, Payal was constantly challenged and threatened by her older brother and her father. 

I have to say I saw so much growth of each character once they were reunited in Last Guard. I really felt they needed one another to realize their true need in both the PsyNet, and in the world itself. They seemed to complete one another in a way no one else in their lives ever had. Canto raised with love had the appearance of being soft at times, even though he truly had a will of steal. Payal was so much more than I expected when the book started. I found myself wanting to learn more and more about her, and was on pins and needles anytime she was near her father or brother. I did end up falling in love with Canto and Payal as a couple, but it took a while to get there.

The Architect continues to keep me guessing. I feel like once I find out who she really is, I'm going to be like of course she is, but at this time she is still a mystery to me, and I can't wait to see all she tries in the next Psy-Changeling Trinity book. Nalini Singh left me wanting more, and I'm already counting down until the next Psy-Changeling book is released next year.

Rating: 4 Stars (B-)

MATCHED

A country music heartthrob and his long-lost love walk into a wedding...

Will Truitt grew up living the saddest kind of country song. Now, though, as superstar Billy Brenton, his life is perfect. Or so people think. But he hasn't been able to write a decent song in months. Crashing a wedding in a quirky little bridal-obsessed town is supposed to provide inspiration to get his career back on track. Instead, all he finds are regrets when he comes face-to-face with the woman who got away, taking his crushed heart with her.

Lindsey Castellano gave up on love a long time ago. As a cutthroat divorce attorney on the outskirts of a town devoted to brides, weddings, and happily ever after, she's honed her skills at avoiding love, commitment, and inevitable heartbreak. Or so she thought until Will Truitt reappears in her life.

When Lindsey shattered Will's heart fifteen years ago, she'd been a sorority girl on her way to the top. He'd been a lowly janitor with a dream. Now he's on top of the world, and she's the last person he should need or want.

But she's the only person who has ever inspired his music. And he's the only man she's never been able to forget. Have the years made them wiser, stronger, and better able to love, or this time, will they simply crash and burn harder?

SMITTENED

A Bad Boy, a Good Girl, and Ice Cream!

Dahlia Mallard has finally found her destiny—running an ice cream shop in Bliss, the happiest bridal town in the Midwest. Problem is, her heart is bigger than her bank account. After spending her last dime on a less-than-worthy cause, she needs a serious influx of cash to get through the winter. Her last-ditch effort? Convincing country music superstar Billy Brenton to attend the risqué flavor-tasting event she’s planned to boost sales. But the closest she can get to Billy is his drummer, the womanizing Mikey Diamond.

Mikey loves the ladies, and he makes no secret of it. But he’s not such a fan of this town devoted to weddings, love, and marriage. And he’s even less of a fan of people using him to get to Billy. When circumstances land Mikey in Dahlia’s house as her new roommate, though, all his caution—and all his interest in any other single ladies—flies out the window. Dahlia’s quirky and funny and, unlike his usual women, she doesn’t tolerate any of his baloney. But when Mikey discovers that Dahlia, too, is using him to get close to Billy, will he take the chance to be her hero instead, or will he revert to his manwhore ways?

Dueling neighbors, baby fever, fake boyfriends, and pizza... Life in Bliss has never been better!

Pepper Blue wants a baby. Forget the husband. She’s better at training men to be good husbands for other women than she is at getting one herself, so she’s doing this on her own.

But she hasn’t exactly shared the news with her family, and they’re determined to find her a date to the next family wedding. A date that won’t ditch her for one of her sisters or cousins. This time.

Which means Pepper Blue needs a fake boyfriend. A fake boyfriend that she has no chance of actually falling in love with. A fake boyfriend like her obnoxious neighbor.

Tony Cross is a pizza god with a sausage problem. He’s putting on a good show—a different woman at his house every night, flirting with all the right customers, flexing his muscles when called upon—but since his divorce, his meat has been more on the undercooked side. If you know what he means.

Except, unfortunately, when it comes to his annoyingly perfect, always put together, too good for him neighbor. Pepper Blue. Who is not a viable candidate for fixing his “little problem.”

So he’s not sure why he’s coming to her rescue, pretending to be her boyfriend to save her from a bad date at his pizza joint. He just knows it’s fun. And it irritates her. And it turns out, she might be able to help his flagging pizza sales as much as she’s helping his flagging… you know.

So long as this is just business, he’s happy to keep pushing her buttons.

All night long, if he has to.
