Release Boost - Dreams of You by Carina Adams



Title: Dreams of You
Series: Dreams Trilogy #1
Author: Carina Adams 
Genre: New Adult Romance
Release Date: May 5, 2022


BLURB

Dean Cullen.

Boy next door. My best friend’s big brother. I’d known the arrogant, bossy, domineering jackass my entire life.

Falling in love with him would be such a cliché.

Not to mention, the town’s golden boy (insert eye roll here) had big plans and they didn’t include me. Which was fine. I had my own life mapped out, far from his.

Falling in love with the boy with stars in his eyes was the last thing I wanted to do.

That’s why I tried to deny how much his infectious smile haunted my dreams. I planned to ignore my sudden infatuation until it went away. No one would ever know.

Fate had other plans. While I was trying not to fall in love with Dean, he was falling in love with me.

Review - Out of the Blue by Carina Adams


Title: Out of the Blue
Series: Bama Boys #2
Author: Carina Adams
Release Date: October 28, 2015


Putting others needs before his own was all Mike Carson had ever done.

First, it was the friends he loved more than family. Then it was his country. By nineteen, he was a father, a husband and fighting in a war not many people believed in. After an accident ended his career and his life fell apart, he filled his days keeping screaming fans from reaching the most famous country rock star in the world. And, pining after a woman who would never love him.

Then, everything changed.

He thought he could handle anything that was thrown his way. He thought running my security detail would be the easiest job he’d ever had. He thought he’d be able to keep me safe without getting attached. 

He was wrong.

They call me reckless, selfish, and slutty. In reality, I’ve just stopped caring what everyone else thinks. I’m determined to have some fun, to live life my way, and to make Mike realize that being a little selfish isn't the worst thing in the world. 

I think we both have our work cut out for us.






Ahhh!! YEEESSSSS!!! Mike’s story! I was so excited to read this book. I loved Forever Red, Nate and Lia’s story, and so wanted for Mike to get his own. And Ms. Adams has answered those prayers!

We met both Mike and Molly in the first book. Mike is Lia and Nate’s best friend, and head of Nate’s security. Molly was a young country star, just starting out when Nate took her under his wing. 

After Nate and Lia got married, Mike had a hard time so he left the tour. He couldn’t be around them every day, watching their love. However, Lee was still his best friend and when she called, he answered. 

“At the end of the day, one thing we can agree on. Less is more than my best friend; she’s my constant, the light in my dark, and the one person I can always count on.” 

So, when she asked him to come back to the tour and be Molly’s security, he said yes.

I adore Molly. She is sassy and feisty! 

“Hell, when you lived with a gaggle of men or as I like to call them, my flock of cock, in a rolling house the size of a dorm room, you tend to see more than you want.”

Though, in this book, we got to learn a lot of her secrets that I was quite surprised by. It just made me love her and her strength even more!

Mike and Molly knew each other and were friends before he started working for her, but neither one expected the attraction between them. 

“I craved her. I had to have her. I was so unbelievable fucked.”

The two of them together were sizzling! I really loved watching both Mike and Molly figure out who they are, what they want, and how to get it. They both had tragic pasts and were able to get past them together! This book was the perfect blend of sweet, sexy, funny, and action! And that epilogue—perfection!!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVED how much of Nate and Lia and the rest of the ‘Bama Boys that we got in this story! I cannot wait for Noah and Emily’s story!!

Michael Carson had his heart broken when his best friend, Lia married his other best friend, Nate Kelly. So, he does what he needs to and checks out for a while, needing time to think and decide what to do now. 

Molly has been called every name in the book due to the media always overanalyzing and taking things out of context, thinking she's trying to ruin Nate and Lia's marriage. But that is just so far from what the truth really is. One thing is for sure, Molly needs better security detail and Lia knows it, so she goes out to get back the best...Mike Carson!

I liked Mike and Molly’s chemistry, yet at times I didn't feel they were really connected—especially when he would call her little one, kid and so on, even after they had been intimate. Other than that, and that annoying ex, whom I really wanted to reach out and smack, I loved how Mike and Molly found love with one another. Though, I was thrown off when Molly’s past came barreling at her, and my goodness, Ms. Adams, you had me in tears!

There is plenty of hotness, drama and mystery but, most of all, hope... Hope that there is light at the end of the dark tunnel. Thank you for sharing Mike and Molly’s story with us!

Thankfully, fate stepped in and granted her the ultimate wish - a life full of men. Carina lives in a picturesque New England town with her husband, the one man that ruined the thought of all others, and two amazing sons that always keep her on her toes.

When she isn't trying to juggle being a working mom with karate and football practices, surprising her children with her sci-fi movie knowledge, or writing, you can find her with her nose pressed against her kindle in search of her new favorite vampire story, training for a new 5k, or laughing with friends.

Review - Forever Red by Carina Adams



Title: Forever Red
Author: Carina Adams
Release Date: April 9, 2015

Not afraid to speak his mind or make a scene, Nathaniel Kelly has made a name for himself as country music’s ultimate bad boy.

Covered in tattoos, singing songs about drugs, drinking and heartache, Nate acts more like an out of control rock star than the grandson of one of the genres most influential and legendary stars. Every man wants to be him. Every woman wants just one night with the hard-rocking country rebel.


Except me. I just want to know that the boy I used to love is happy and that I didn’t break his heart in vain. That’s why I buy every magazine that even mentions his name; at least, that’s the story I tell myself.


When my friends gave me a birthday present any fan would die for, I was suddenly face-to-face with the man I never thought I’d see again. My body wasn’t supposed to react to him the way it did. And, Nate sure as hell wasn’t supposed to look at me the way he used to.


Can someone you loved as a teenager really have a hold on your heart twelve years later? Is it ever too late to say you’re sorry and make up for past wrongs? I’m about to find out.
 

AMAZON US / UK




Whoa! This book was totally epic! I do love a great second chance romance and this one totally fit the bill. This was a nice juicy book, one you can really sink your teeth into. It had a lot of facets to the story and characters.

Lia wants nothing but to graduate from high school and leave her crappy hometown behind. She wasn't counting on falling for the new guy at her school, Neil. Boys have always just been a game to her, pawns in her and her friend's schemes. Neil is different, and they form a friendship that leads to romance. When the skeletons start falling out of Lia's closet she chooses to cut and run, leaving the boy she loves behind and starting anew.

Forever Red was an awesome read. I read the entire book in almost one sitting. I loved Lia and Neil, and their group of friends were awesome secondary characters. (Psst... some will be getting their own books, yay!)

Lia and Neil's story is told in the past and present, alternating their POVs and is a full length standalone. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more of Carina's stories. If you are a fan of second chance at first love, pick this up.

This is the first book I've read from this author but definitely will not be the last one! Reading Lia and Neil's story, I saw that their chemistry was hot and blazing!

There will be secrets exposed, lies demolished, friendships tested, hearts broken and mended before it's all over, so you'd better be prepared to see and feel Neil and Lia's story through their eyes! I can't wait for the next book which I'm hoping is going to be about Mike?!? 5 Emotionally Sexy stars.

I absolutely loved this book! It was the perfect mix of romance, love, sexiness, and second chances. I adored our heroine, Cecelia, aka Lia, aka CeCe, aka Red. She had this sassiness and fierceness that was undeniable, yet she still had insecurities and loneliness too; a perfect blend.

Then there is Nate, aka Neil, a high school football player turned tattooed and pierced country rock star. And he was always the southern gentlemen, too.

“Country boys don’t need pick-up lines, Red; we’ve got pick-up trucks.”

Swoon!!

I really liked how this story was really broken into two parts – the before and the now. And neither part was rushed through. We got to see Lia and Neil fall in love as two teenagers who started as best friends.

“We are young, but we’re gonna grow old together.”

We then got to see them both as adults, before rekindling their love years later.

“I realized that I was completely in love with him all over again. I’d never gotten over him. I’d been in love with a boy that no longer existed.”

I also loved how there were so many ups and downs; it felt so real.

This book really did have it all. It was funny, steamy, full of love and friendships, and had its fill of drama. I laughed, cried, and needed to change my panties! The family dynamic was fantastic too! I couldn’t put this book down and had to know how it was going to end. And that epilogue – my poor heart. I certainly hope that Mike gets his own book.; he was one of my favorite parts of the entire book.
