Release Blitz: Last Love by Melissa Schroeder

 



Last Love by Melissa Schroeder is now live!



Welcome back to Juniper Springs, home of gay ducks, Nerdvana, and the LOLS.

Okay, so here’s the thing. I’m Liv, the normal O’Bryan sister. I have two kids I’m raising on my own, and I even have what people think is a boring job. Going to Vegas with my insane sisters is out of character for me, but I take that chance because of my new job. And let’s face it. I lost my husband over five years ago and I just haven’t…well…there’s been no one.

But an altercation with some drunken idiots has me almost falling on my butt, until a set of very strong hands save me.

Mason Spencer is younger, beyond sexy, and interested in me. So, I give in for one night. Can’t hurt, right? He goes above and beyond my wildest expectations. The next morning, I say thank you and head back to my life.

Until I move in next door to him, and my insane dog Houdini keeps showing up on his doorstep so I can’t even avoid him.
Worse, Mason tells me he wants more than that one night stand. Worser, he seems to fit right in with my kids and me and I discover that being with him makes me happier than I’ve been in years.

But remember, I’m the normal sister, and there’s nothing normal about an older woman with two kids snatching up a young man like Mason.

Of course,  I’ve realized that there is nothing normal about the town, so maybe I would fit right in.

Author Note: Yep, it’s that time again to jump back into Juniper Springs. Home of Little Old Ladies, the Juniper Springs Express, and a seriously younger man with his mind set on his sexy neighbor. There’s a rescue dog with a mohawk who lives up to his name, and a meddling younger sister determined to help Liv find love.

Meet Melissa Schroeder



From an early age, USA Today Bestselling author Melissa loved to read. First, it was the books her mother read to her including her two favorites, Winnie the Pooh and the Beatrix Potter books. She cut her preteen teeth on Trixie Belden and read and reviewed To Kill a Mockingbird in middle school. It wasn't until she was in college that she tried to write her first stories, which were full of angst and pain, and really not that fun to read or write. After trying several different genres, she found romance in a Linda Howard book.

Since her first published book, Grace Under Pressure, Mel has had over 60 short stories, novellas, and novels published. She has written in genres ranging from historical to contemporary to futuristic and has worked with 8 publishers although she handles most of her publishing herself. She is best known for her Harmless and Santini series.

After years of following her military husband around the country and world, Mel happily lives with her family in horse and wine country in Northern Virginia.

Book Review: Lost Love by Melissa Schroeder

  For this review, I chose Lost Love by Melissa Schroeder.


I received an ARC copy of the e-book for an honest review of this book.

Here is a brief description from Goodreads:
Welcome back to Juniper Springs, home of gay ducks and the LOLS.

Okay, so here's the thing. I'm Liv, the normal O'Bryan sister. I have two kids I'm raising on my own, and I even have what people think is a boring job. Going to Vegas with my insane sisters is out of character for me, but I take that chance because of my new job. And let's face it. I lost my husband over five years ago and I just haven't...well...there's been no one.

But an altercation with some drunken idiots has me almost falling on my butt, until a set of very strong hands save me.

Mason Spencer is younger, beyond sexy, and interested in me. So, I give in for one night. Can't hurt, right? He goes above and beyond my wildest expectations. The next morning, I say thank you and head back to my life.

Until I move in next door to him, and my insane dog Houdini keeps showing up on his doorstep so I can't even avoid him.

Worse, Mason tells me he wants more than that one night stand. Worser, he seems to fit right in with my kids and me and I discover that being with him makes me happier than I've been in years.

Really great book! Emotional. Liv lost her husband and did everything possible for her kids. They always came first. Liv met Mason and everything changed for each of them. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series along with the first two.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
Recommend this book? Yes! Author? Yes!

Happy Reading!

Reading Now: Last Love by Melissa Schroeder

 I have wanted to add more posts than what I do post. This is one of my new posts.

What am I reading now? I am reading Last Love by Melissa Schroeder.  It is an ARC.  I picked this ARC because I love books with a single mom with kids.  I also love series.  Now this series, Juniper Springs, I have not read any of the other books.  This book, Last Love, is book #3 and is out on shelves on January 26, 2023.  I want to read the first 2 books in this series because I want to know more about the LOLs & the ducks.  This was the kind of book I needed.  Sweet!! 

Look for my review on January 26.

Here is a brief description from Goodreads:

Release Boost: Wild Love by Melissa Schroeder

 




Title: Wild Love
Series: Juniper Springs #1
Author: Melissa Schroeder
Genre: Small Town Romantic Comedy
Release Date: May 27, 2021


BLURB

I’m not the kind of girl who expects happily ever after. In fact, I prefer my partners don’t get too clingy. Don’t get me wrong. I like a good night of loving, but beyond that, I’m happy to see them leave in the morning, without my phone number.

Then I met him.

Quinn is a big bear of a man, with massive hands and amazing…staying power. Like all night long and the next morning kind of staying power. So when he asks me to spend the next day with him, I do. The only reason I give him my number is because he makes me laugh. And, okay, so I might have met up with him once or twice.

That doesn’t mean I need him. Because I am Everly Freaking Spencer, and I don’t need anyone (other than my bestie), and definitely not a man.

Only…

He shows up by chance at my store, which totally freaks me out. Finding out he’s my favorite author doesn’t help either.

And the surprise that’s dropped in our laps later that day?

Major. Freak. Out.

But, like I said, I don’t need anyone.

Right?

If I keep repeating that, I might just believe it.

EXCERPT

The door to my hotel room slams open as we stumble over the threshold. Neither of us pay attention to it, or anything else. His hands are in my hair, his mouth on mine, and if I don’t get him inside of me right this minute, I might explode.
Since we stepped onto the elevator, our hands have been all over each other. I just can’t get enough of him. His hands slip down my body, grabbing my ass as he lifts me off the floor. Oh, god, he’s amazing. As he slips his tongue along mine, he gyrates his hips, and there is no doubt how aroused he is. Of course, I’ve been feeling that from the moment we stepped onto the dance floor. He’s long and thick, and I can’t wait to have that monster inside of me.
He tosses the pharmacy bag on the nightstand as he carries me over to the bed—an amazing feat because I am not a small woman—and sits down, settling me on his lap. I swivel my hips and he leans his head back with a groan. I take advantage of our position and attack his throat. He smells of expensive whiskey and sexy, sweaty man.
“You’re going to make me come in my pants, woman.”
Power surges through me. My head spins as if I drank five bottles of whiskey in the last ten minutes. I giggle—actually giggle—but he frowns at me. Before I know what he’s about, he stands up, taking me with him, then tumbles me back onto the mattress.
He has quick hands; I’ll give him that. My shoes and socks are off my body before I can blink. Next, he’s clawing at my jeans and I smack his hands away so I can take over the job. Once I have them unbuttoned and unzipped, he tugs them down my body along with my panties as I tear off my shirt and bra. Soon, I’m lying there completely naked. His eyes darken as his gaze roams down my body.
“Jesus,” he says, reverence in his voice. I know I’m in good shape, but I have always thought I was too angular. Apparently, Quinn does not.
“I don’t think we need a third tonight, and definitely not part of the holy trinity.”
