After Kova’s devastating betrayal, Adrianna must become her own champion and place her Olympic dream ahead of all else. In doing so, she ignores the warning signs as both the extreme training and unending heartbreak begin to take their toll.
There is no atoning for what Kova did. The vow he made cannot be undone. With boundaries set and lines clearly defined, Kova will now have to be the one to relinquish control in order to regain Adrianna’s trust.
Though the dynamics shift between coach and gymnast, nothing can prepare them for the agonizing truth that is to come. Fighting for a dream becomes only half the battle when Adrianna’s fate is sealed, leaving them both with their biggest challenge yet.
** Author note **
Much like a student-teacher novel, the Off Balance series is a highly forbidden romance story between a gymnast and a coach. If you find this genre of novels to be not to your liking in any way, shape, or form, this series is not for you. This novel is purely fictional and does not reflect on real-life events. Gymnastics is a hands-on sport that involves many hours of close contact with an instructor. My main goal was to focus not only on the beauty of the sport in detail, but also what goes on behind closed doors and how working with a coach for nearly forty hours a week can evolve into something more. This story is meant to push you, to take you outside of your comfort zone. I hope you take the plunge with an open mind before making judgment.The Off Balance series is intended only for readers 18 years of age and older. Reader discretion is advised.

Bad boy blues review and release blitz, Saffron A Kent
3.5 stars.
This was a bit of a confusing book for me. At its heart it’s a bully romance but for my mind, it was dark enough, Zach didn’t embrace his anger enough for it. It could’ve been a decent enemies to lovers book but too much emphasis, like a LOT of emphasis, was on the fact he was her bully.The bike stuff also needed work, in my opinion. I’m a lover of all things 2 wheeled, so to me, that didn’t work.Also, it had a really immature feel for me. The pranks Cleo pulled just didn’t work for me. What also didn’t work for me was the language in the sex scenes. I hate to say it, but it was on the corny side.Still, I liked Zach and all his problems. I thought that was a great twist, and Art was cute too. This book wasn’t for me, but I don’t think all is lost here.
Ache vlog tour and review, S.M. Soto
4.5 stars.
Holy heart wrenching! This book... This book is intense, the subject matter is heavy, but it’s dealt with in an appropriate way, I feel.Liam is a great character. I love him, even if I feel he’s a tad bit too perfect, yes it is a thing, lol.Bea just tears my heart out. I felt for her and everything she went through.Having said that, I did feel part one was a little slow. The flashbacks were too long for me and didn’t tell me what I wanted to know. I also felt the current sections weren’t long enough.Conversely, I felt the end, from about 70% (the book ends at 90%), is rushed.I don’t understand why Myrah was the first one to reach out either, especially as Liam was so set on getting to the bottom of what’s going on. Why did it take Liam coming back to get her to act?I also felt the Melody introduction and befriending is a bit of a stretch. I feel like it would be better if it happened after a few days together.In addition to that Bea’s reaction to Melody and Myrah is a bit strange.
But, I still really enjoyed this book, heart wrenching as it is. I would also advise if you have sexual assault or suicide triggers, please proceed with caution. I haven’t seen trigger warnings for the promo of this book (there is one at the start of the book itself however, even though sometimes stuff like that is skipped when you open the file on Kindle) and there really needs to be.
So, if you enjoy your heart being twisted in your chest, give it a go! Lol!

You Don’t Choose The Academy. The Academy Chooses You.
I had no idea how those words would change my life. Or how they’d changed my life already…
Until the day the most dangerous man I’ve ever met waltzed onto my farm and left us a death sentence.
In an invitation.
My younger brother has been chosen for the prestigious, secret magical school hidden within the folds of our mundane world. A place so dangerous, they don’t guarantee you’ll make it out alive.
If he doesn't go our entire family will be killed.
It’s the same invitation my older brother received three years ago—the same place he mysteriously died.
The academy has already killed one sibling. I’ll be damned if they take another.
I do the only thing an older sister can: chop off my hair, strap on two bras to flatten the girls, and take my brother’s place.
Magic and monsters are real. Assassins are coming for me, and the dead are prone to rise. What’s a girl faking it as a boy supposed to do? That’s right—beat the academy at its own game.
Or die trying.

Pretty reckless cover reveal, L.J Shen
Pretty Reckless, the first standalone in the highly anticipated All Saints High series from USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen, is coming April 29th and we have the gasp-worthy cover!
We were supposed to be best friends
But turned out to be worst enemies…
Penn
They say revenge is a dish best served cold.
I’d had four years to stew on what Daria Followhill did to me, and now my heart is completely iced.
I took her first kiss.
She took the only thing I loved.
I was poor.
She was rich.
The good thing about circumstances? They can change. Fast.
Now, I’m her parents’ latest shiny project.
Her housemate. Her tormentor. The captain of the rival football team she hates so much.
Yeah, baby girl, say it—I’m your foster brother.
There’s a price to pay for ruining the only good thing in my life, and she’s about to shell out some serious tears.
Daria Followhill thinks she is THE queen. I’m about to prove to her that she’s nothing but a spoiled princess.
Daria
Everyone loves a good-old, unapologetic punk.
But being a bitch? Oh, you get slammed for every snarky comment, cynical eye roll, and foot you put in your adversaries’ way.
The thing about stiletto heels is that they make a hell of a dent when you walk all over the people who try to hurt you.
In Penn Scully’s case, I pierced his heart until he bled out, then left it in a trash can on a bright summer day.
Four years ago, he asked me to save all of my firsts for him.
Now he lives across the hall, and there’s nothing I want more than to be his last everything.
His parting words when he gave me his heart were that nothing in this world is free.
Now? Now he is making me pay.

Love, Again review and release blitz, L.P Dover
This was an okay book. I really like second chance romances but I felt this one way lacking something.There was no drama, no angst, nothing that you usually associate with second chances.I also felt everything happened so fast. I wanted room for things to breathe and develop without being skipped over.I also felt the action was overly descriptive. So many things were told rather than shown or just let slip altogether.I’m also going to confess I didn’t like the other books thing. It just seems like blatant promotion and that’s not what I want in a book. All in all this is an okay book. It’s not terrible, but I also feel it doesn’t have the spark I was looking for, sorry.

There’s just one problem. She’s not mine for the taking. But that’s not going to stop me from winning her heart.I’m in deep with this woman.
