Memphis Cover Reveal

Check out the amazing cover of Memphis by Ginger Scott! We are so excited about this release!


Memphis by Ginger Scott
A Contemporary New Adult Romance
Release day: February 23
Goodreads

Blurb:

My mom always said it was just something about the way he moved.


The same swagger Archie Valentine wore in the ring when he took his opponents down followed him like a halo everywhere he went. But make no mistake about it—he was no angel. He was like a drug. My mother was his addict.

I never understood it…how love could make you blind and convince you to drink the poison. Not until I met Memphis Delaney.

At first, it was the familiar form. He’s a fighter, built like a god from the past, the kind of man the universe doesn’t make anymore. His eyes hide a story, and every time I’m in his presence I want to keep reading him until I get to the end. And then…there’s the way he moves. His boxing is violent but beautiful, and his body is a seductive weapon. When he’s in the ring, he wears the stare of a man committed to the battle until his very last breath.

He could end me; turn me into her. Too much of him will leave me as a shadow, and I’ve lost so much of myself already.

But I have discipline. It came the hard way. Lessons learned, scars left behind, and trust stripped away from life.

I will breathe his air, but I won’t fall for a man like him. The only boxer who’s ever going to break my heart is the one who gave me my name.

Safe Bet by Monica Murphy Blog Tour - Review







Blurb:
Sydney Walker’s new job is perfect. As the live-in nanny to the most famous quarterback in the NFL and his beautiful wife, she couldn’t have it any better. Their kids are adorable. Her bosses are more than generous. Plus, there are hot football players at the house all the time. Life can’t get much better than this.

Until her life turns into an absolute nightmare. The media is abuzz with rumors that she and her boss Drew Callahan are having a torrid affair. Everyone knows the truth—except the public. So Drew’s wife Fable comes up with the perfect idea.

She creates a fake relationship between Sydney and one of the rookie players on Drew’s team. Wade Knox is forever indebted to Drew and Fable and readily agrees to the set up. Pretending to be in a romantic relationship with the hot nanny for a week—how hard can it be?

Crazy how it only takes one week for two people to fall head over heels in love…

(This mash-up new adult romance features characters from both the One Week Girlfriend series and The Rules series.)

Review:

A couple of years ago, One Week Girlfriend broke my heart.  Then Second Chance Boyfriend ripped the pieces of that broken heart to shreds.  I'm usually not the BiblioJunkie to go to about the angsty heart-wrenching stories and you could have knocked Bel and Nat over with feathers when I told them how taken in I was by these books, but Drew and Fable's story was just that compelling.  

So, it was with some degree of trepidation that I picked up Safe Bet - would I be disappointed by the peek I got in to Fable and Drew's happily ever after?  And what about throwing in these other characters, Wade and Sydney?  Would I like them?  I admit, I've not read the Rules Series.  I tried to read Fair Game, but I really hated everything about Shep and wanted to punch him in his stupid face -so if I hated him so much, would I be able to love Sydney?  

I didn't exactly love Sydney, but I didn't Shep-hate her, so that's a bonus.  I did really like Wade and I loved getting the inside scoop on Drew and Fable's life.  What I was unprepared for was the complete lack of angst.  Not once did I need to reach for the kleenex or feel the desperate need to hug one of the characters.  

Safe Bet was utterly sweet, funny, and completely heart-warming.  Wade and Sydney come together in a cheesy, but steamy whirlwind.  If this is the end of the road for the One Week Girlfriend Series, it is a satisfying ending.  I hope it's not the end, but if it is, I can live with it.  I feel gratified.  Safe Bet was the perfect blend of nostalgia and romance.  If you are a One Week Girlfriend fan, you should definitely read Safe Bet.  If you haven't experienced the trauma of the series, then you definitely have to read it so we can have a support group!

Happy reading.

Safe Bet by Monica Murphy Excerpt Reveal


Hi all!  I LOVE Monica Murphy's One Week Girlfriend Series and am thrilled to bring you an excerpt from the latest installment - Safe Bet!  Drew and Fable are awesome, so I'm glad we are getting to check in with them.  So, without further adieu:  

“Drew!” Fable calls, waving him over. “Come meet Sydney.”
He starts to head over there and when he sends me a look over his shoulder, I reluctantly follow him. I really don’t need to be involved in this scenario, but I just can’t tell him that, can I? It would be rude. And I’m never rude to Drew and Fable.
Ever.
“Sydney, this is my husband, Drew. Drew, this is Sydney Walker. She’s going to be our new nanny,” Fable says, sounding pleased. She looks over at her husband with a little wince. “I hope you don’t mind that I went ahead and hired her.”
“Of course I don’t mind. I trust your judgment.” Drew turns to greet Sydney. “Good to meet you,” he says as he gives Sydney a firm handshake. She’s staring up at him, her lips slightly parted, her eyes wide. Full on awestruck, which is typical. He’s a superstar. That’s how most people look at Drew when they first meet him.
“Hi,” she squeaks, her cheeks going pink as she releases Drew’s hand. Her gaze slips to mine, and then flitters away. But that one quick glance was like a sucker punch to my gut.
The nanny is beautiful.
I take a deep breath, shoving my hands in my jeans’ pockets so I won’t do something stupid—like try to grab her. She has pretty blue eyes and a full mouth that’s made for kissing. Her curves are even lusher than I first realized. She has full hips and a tiny waist and shapely legs. But I can’t worry about pretty nannies right now. I have to concentrate on work.
It still blows my mind that I might play for the NFL. That football is my job. I’m a lucky son-of-a-bitch.
“Sydney, this is Wade Knox. He’s an old family friend,” Fable says, knocking me from my thoughts. I blink and look down to find Sydney smiling up at me, interest clearly showing in her gaze. Hmm. “Wade, this is Sydney.”
“Hey Sydney.” I shake her hand, electricity pulsing between us the moment our palms touch. She jerks her hand away from mine as if I burned her. Guess she felt it too.
Interesting.
“Nice to meet you,” she murmurs as she takes a step back. Like she needs the distance.
Even more interesting.
We make small talk for a few minutes before Fable takes Sydney back to the house, and the moment the door shuts behind them, Drew’s talking.
“The nanny’s cute,” he observes, his voice way too nonchalant.
“Uh huh.”
“She looked at you like she thought you were cute, too.”
I roll my eyes. He never says stuff like this, so what’s his deal? “Cute? What are you doing? Trying to play matchmaker?” I send him a pointed look. “Give me a break. I don’t need the distraction.”
