Release Blitz and Review: LaClaire Nights (An After Hours Novel) by Dori Lavelle




Title: LaClaire Nights
An After Hours Novel
Author: Dori Lavelle
Genre: Steamy Contemporary Romance
Release Date: May 29, 2017



Blurb

Some marriages last a week, a month, or a year. Others last a lifetime. Mine ends on my wedding night, ten hours after the exchange of rings.

Our marriage vows shatter when Dustin Cardwell, the man I saved myself for, looks me in the eye and tells me I failed between the sheets.

Our marriage ends before the ink dries, before the scent of my bouquet fades, before the candles in our honeymoon suite burn out.

Three months later, I'm divorced and working as a massage therapist on the LaClaire Cruise Ship, headed for the Caribbean. I'm desperate to get away, to lick my wounds in private. I'm not looking to be another man's disappointment.

Until Bryant LaClaire invades my space and makes my panties melt. The moment our eyes meet, he makes it clear I'm his girl of the moment.

Drawing me in with his charm and good looks, he promises to repair my sexual self-esteem while satisfying his own needs. A few LaClaire nights is all he can give. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s an offer my body can’t resist.

But when my heart lures me into the heart and world of a man who carries a devastating secret, I know I’m in danger of returning home with more pain than I'd left with.

LaClaire Nights is a steamy full-length, standalone novel with a happy ending.

**WARNING: Due to sexual situations and adult content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18. **

I'm always impressed how Dori Lavelle keeps me hanging on every word of one of her books, whether it's dark or contemporary romance. LaClaire Nights: An After Hours Novel is a wonderful sexy novel with a HEA.

Grace has just married and has saved herself for the wedding night. She married her best friend Dustin and is a little insecure about her wedding night. However, all Dustin wants sex and a virgin at that. Needless to say the night doesn't go well at all.

Three months later, Grace is divorced and working on a cruise ship as a massage therapist. She has become so insecure in herself that she wears baggy clothes even when she is in the gym to go yoga. But Bryant can see she needs some TLC and decides it will be a challenge to have Grace.

Bryant is the owner of LaClaire Cruise Lines and believes in one night stands, but not the HEA. He is sexy, hot, and rich and knows what he wants, which is Grace.

After getting to know Bryant, Grace shares her past, but Bryant is withholding his past. Grace and Bryant grow closer and form a bond that neither of them expected. Bryant has awakened Grace's sexuality and you see her transforming into a self-assured woman. Can Bryant tell Grace about his past or does it all blow up in his face?

Novel: Can be read as a standalone and the first book in the LaClaire Nights series.
Characters: Easy to fall in love with the characters and engages the readers emotions.
Writing: Very smooth, developed, even paced and keeps you page turning.
Storyline: Sexy, passionate love story with a HEA
Heat: Burning

BLURB

Someone once told me to never live with regrets.

I tried.

In every piercing look, I saw the truth.

In every heartwarming smile, I found a friend.

With every kiss, I fell in love.

In every heartbreaking lie, I learned forgiveness.

In every shattering mistake, I achieved redemption.

With every moment of hate, I gained strength.

Every moment became a memory I will cherish forever.

But what if my One Regret

is being One Second too late?








 

Transcending Regrets is the final book in the No Regrets trilogy series and it was mind blowing. 


Abbygail has returned home and learns that she now has something to live for after walking away from Oliver. However, Oliver been giving Abbygail space until he must teach a class at their old high school. 



Can these two ever get together or does Damian strike again?



Flashbacks to the past and images of the future give insight to both Abbygail and Oliver lives. 



This series is a rollercoaster of emotions as you follow them throughout the series. I love how the ending made a full circle with Oliver and Abbygail. 



I highly recommend reading the whole trilogy as you won't regret how Aimee takes you on a journey that is not easily forgotten. 



I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. 



Series: Book 3 of No Regrets Series and not a standalone as book 1 & 2 needs to be read first. 
Characters: Well defined and engages the reader's emotions. 
Writing: Smooth, developed, even paced with twists and turns.
Storyline: Friendship and love that spans time and space, but complications and misunderstanding between the two characters. 
Heat: Sizzling at times.

Release Blitz: Chasing Cars and the Lessons We Learned Series: Paper Planes #3 By Michele G Miller and Mindy Hayes

Chasing Cars and the Lessons We Learned
Series: Paper Planes #3
Genre: Sweet, New Adult, Contemporary Romance
(Stand Alone)
Rated: PG-13



| Buy Links |

On June 18, 1992, Flight 397 crashed off the coast of Long Island. 

After Amber Pratt lost her parents, her life turned into a downward spiral. So, she did what any twenty-one-year-old would do; she quit her life to backpack across Europe.

Olle Holström was supposed to be a fling in the wilds of Finland. A detour. That is all it should have been. 

It was so much more.



Olle pulls my chair out. Always a gentleman. “Thank you.”  
“Ole hyvä,” he says close to my ear, his hand brushing my bare shoulder as he takes the seat next to mine. Not across, the way he did during our meal at the fortress Monday.
Everything about this night feels different. Important. Shaking the meaning of our date away, I look at the menu the hostess left. English. Well, that’s a relief. I scoot forward in my seat and peruse the offerings. My leg bouncing on the toe of my fancy shoes with nerves.
“I imagine this might not be politically correct here, but I have to tell you I’ll be mildly irritated if you order the reindeer.”
He chuckles. “You do not eat deer in the States?”
“Deer, yes. Rudolph, no.”
His shoulders shake with suppressed laughter. “It is not much different, but for you, okei.”

Description

“She wants to get Wilde. She should be careful what she asks for.” –Ethan Wilde There are worse things in life than owning a thriving business in the heart of Manhattan and being labeled one of the Big Apple’s most eligible bachelors. Trust me, I know. I’ve had some bad $h!t go down before I got to where I am. No matter what curve balls life lobs at me, I take a swing. If I strike out, I learn, adjust, and make the best of it. For instance, when an injury ended my dream of playing in the Bigs, I could’ve sunken into self-pity. When my fiancĂ©e dumped me about thirty seconds after the major league scout did, I could’ve become a drunk. Instead, I got off my ass, finished my senior year of college, and put the degree my baseball scholarship earned me to work. Seven years later, I’m living a new dream. I’m single, well off, and about to take my business to the next level. I’ve got plans for A Pound of Flesh Fitness gyms to open nationwide. Except the one person standing between me and my dream has become a fantasy. A hot, redheaded fantasy. My competition…my business enemy, is five feet nothing and packed full of dynamite, and I can’t get her out of my mind or my fantasies. Her sexy as sin body, her sultry voice, and her bold personality that’s just as fiery as her hair may have gotten under my skin, but there’s no way I’ll let her stay there. Because no one gets to Ethan Wilde. There’s just one little detail I can’t stop wondering about. The one thing that has brought men down since the beginning of time. I can’t leave it alone until I know for sure: Is she a true redhead? Bestselling author Shelly Alexander brings you this brand new series of super sexy, sizzling hot heroes. It’s a fun, flirty, and dirty series written in the male POV. If you like your romance hot and fun, then grab a comfy spot under a fan and enjoy! If you like them sweeter with a touch of steam, try Shelly Alexander’s Red River Series.
