- SYNOPSIS -

It’s revenge—sweet and hot—in the first book of this sexy and wickedly funny series by international bestselling author Tara Brown. 

 For the young, rich, and beautiful, summertime in the Hamptons means one thing: Fling Club. Only this time, Cherry Kennedy won’t be selecting a boy for a fleeting romance. Nope, this season, Cherry is out for revenge. Her target? The Fling Club founder and society darling who slept with Cherry’s now-very-ex-boyfriend. And all Cherry needs is the perfect guy for her plan…

 Ashley Jardine can’t afford to refuse. He scored almost a full ride to MIT. But that almost still costs a lot. And this is so much money for a little game of revenge and a chance—albeit short—to live the high life. Here, rich girls rule the shore, and everyone has a role to play. Only nothing in the job description warned Ashley that the redhead who’s running the scheme would be so crazy. And cute. Or that he wouldn’t be able to stop thinking about her. 

 Now, everything is going according to plan—until an unexpected attraction raises the stakes. It’s enough to turn the perfect payback into absolute heartbreak.

My Thoughts: Mean Girls Invades The Hamptons 💅🏻

       If you grew up terrified but entranced by all things upper east side like Gossip Girl or those too rich for you snobs like The O.C., then you’ll enjoy this book and series to follow. This book takes the worst of the blue blood east coast world and has the characters go from revolting to repenting. Honestly, it’s not a feel good happy rom-com but definitely hate to love with laughter thrown in to break the painful tension. 
      Having found love and wanting out of Fling Club, a members only girls rule the Hamptons and boys are secondary to the members highly guarded rules, Cheryl ‘Cherry’ Kennedy had hopes of quitting the summer flings. But when she finds her boyfriend. Griffin, in bed with the Fling Club leader, Cait; Cherry now has one thing on her mind: Revenge. With the help of her sister and brother, Cherry begins to plan the perfect plan to bring down Cait, but they need bait and in walks MIT student, Ashley Jardine. He dislikes the rich and all they do and stand for, but the attraction to him and he to Cherry is instantaneous. Will the two be able to resist and keep to their parts of the plan, even when their HEA could be at stake?        
       Overall, I loved it, probably because I’ve grown up with this kind of a romance novel and enjoy when the pauper gets to stick it a bit to the princess. Luckily the princess in this story is just a rich socialite in America and realizes her place in the world isn’t set in stone, she can change her status and future especially with some help from a sexy nerd. I gotta say I think Ashley is one if not the sexiest nerds I’ve ever read about, and he’s sure not shy when it comes to some romance. Got to remind myself to get post-its and get to MIT stat! Anyways, I’m excited to see what more could happen in this series and hopefully some more scenes involving Ashley and Cherry.

Hey, It's A Blog Tour for "Whole Lotta Frogs" by Samatha Harris

WHOLE LOTTA FROGS

BLOG TOUR

AUTHOR: SAMATHA HARRIS

RELEASE DATE: JUNE 19, 2018

COVER DESIGNER: T.E. BLACK DESIGNS

My name is Lennox Brooks and I’ll admit, I’ve made a lot of mistakes. I don’t take the big risks, I cover my insecurities with snark, I’ve shown my crazy a few more times then I would’ve liked, and I’ve been trying, and failing at love pretty much since I first grew tits. 

Weirdos, Mama’s boys, the over-coiffed, and underwhelming, I’ve been out with them all, just read my blog. I’ve got horror stories that would curl your toes and singe your nose hairs, but none of them compare to the toad who started it all, Ellis Walker. 

He was the boy next door, the charming, infuriatingly gorgeous one who broke my heart and disappeared without a trace. Now he’s back and determined to throw my life into chaos, dredging up painful memories just when things were getting good. 

But the thing is there are always two sides to every story.

I’ve spent the better part of my life hating him for everything he put me through, but without that resentment clouding my judgment how will I ever resist him? 

Love is complicated, appearances are deceiving, and sometimes you have to kiss a whole lotta frogs before finding your prince.

My Rating:  

My Thoughts: Whole Lotta Funny, Chemistry and Frog Drama!

      Loved the way this book was written, being formatted chapter then blog post on said chapter. It was like a funny diary tell all from the main characters perspective. The story feels real because the drama is real, some times one does go through too many frogs before realizing whom their prince really is. 

     Having dated all types of men the internet and apps have to offer, Lennox Brooks, is certain that all she can catch is frogs with no Prince Charming in sight. So when her childhood neighbor the infuriating but distractingly hot, Ellis Walker, comes back into her life and tries to make amends while . . . flirting. Lennox’s high school broken heart can’t take this side of Ellis and is determined not to let him humiliate her again. But Ellis is relentless and while Lennox searches for love, Ellis asks for a chance to be Lennox’s prince. Problem is Lennox will need to decide if she can trust Ellis’ intentions and know he isn’t just messing with her heart. 

     Overall, love the realness of this book and how open Lennox was in her dating woes. In big cities you’d think dating would be easy since there’s so many “options” but truthfully those options are not always the best. Lennox finds out a lot about who she is, what she wants in life and who she wants in the whole process of picking through frogs. Ellis, gawd that man, I’d have kicked him in the nuts too for what he did and how arrogant he was at times, but of course he redeems himself and shows some frogs can actually be annoying but charming prince. So if you want to ready a book about a girl finding herself and her prince while blogging about the mishaps of dating interesting men, this book will entertain you.

Samatha “Sam” Harris lives near Baltimore, Maryland with her husband David and daughter Ava. Born in Florida, she migrated north which most people agree was a little backwards. She has been an artist all of her life, a Tattoo Artist for more than ten years, and a storyteller since she was a kid. 

Sam has a slightly unhealthy love for Frank Sinatra, classic movies, and Jazz and Blues music, but her first love will always be reading. From Romance, to Thrillers, to Historical Fiction and everything in between, she loves to become a part of the story. As a writer she tells the stories that she would want to read.

I stepped into an enormous bowl made of trampolines. Bright neon-green padding ran in a grid-like pattern across the entire arena, separating each trampoline into its own little rectangle. The springy black fabric covered every available surface, including the walls.

I stepped down into the closest square, giving it a test bounce, and smiled. It doesn’t matter how old you get. It’s impossible not to smile when bouncing on a trampoline. 

We had the entire bowl to ourselves. I could still hear the music and the screaming, but it sounded distant and not nearly as deafening. 

Ellis bounced back and forth from square to square, the squeaking of the springs mixed with my own tentative steps. 

“Is this part of your plan?” I asked. 

Ellis stopped jumping and rested his hands on his hips to catch his breath. “I could’ve gone with the cliché dinner and movie, but I figured you could use a little bit of fun.” 

I laughed. “You’re right. I could use some fun. I’ve been a little stressed since this guy from my past came back into my life and won’t leave me alone.” 

Ellis shrugged. “Maybe he likes you.” 

I laughed and jumped to another square. “He thinks he does.” 

“Trust me, Len. He knows.” 

“Okay, so what’s next? Or was your grand plan to make me work out against my will.” 

Ellis held up one finger and disappeared through the curtain of netting, only to reappear with a bag of bright red balls. 

“What is that?” 

“I was thinking about what you said about me torturing you when we were younger. I was a punk kid trying to get the attention of the girl he liked, but I get how it may not have felt that way to you.” He dropped the bag at my feet and turned it upside down, emptying six rubber balls at my feet. “This is your chance to get me back.” 

Ellis made his way to the other side of the bowl and opened his arms. “Let me have it, Len. All I ask is that you don’t aim for the face.” 

“You want me to hit you?” 

“If you’re ever going to give us a chance, you need to let go of the past, and if this is what it takes to get you to forgive me then so be it. I’m willing to take the hit.” 

I picked up a ball, testing the weight in my hands and eyeing him as he stood, arms wide open, feet spread apart, muscles tense and prepared for impact. 

I wanted to hit him. I really did. But I am an adult, and adults don’t solve problems by hurling rubber projectiles. 

“I can’t,” I said. “This is childish.” 

“You scared?” he asked that trademark smirk of his spread wide across his face. 

“I’m not scared. This is stupid.” 

“I agree, but continuing to punish me for the mistakes I made as a kid is also pretty stupid.” 

Anger welled inside of me and I drew back, hurling the ball as hard as I could toward his chest. The ball hit its target with a loud thud and bounced away. 

Victory swelled inside my chest. 

“See?” Ellis said. “Feeling a little vindicated, aren’t you?” 

“Shut up,” I said, hurling the next ball toward him.

I got ready in a fury and reread Ellis’s invasive text three times while I fixed my hair and makeup, shaking my head each time and fighting back a smile.

I still hadn’t answered when I started walking the six blocks to Sawyer’s apartment. I’d barely stepped off the stoop of my building when my phone rang.

“You never answered my question,” Ellis said.

My lips curled up at the corners. “Of course, I didn’t.”

“Why not?”

“Because it’s none of your business.”

“Len, your nudity is absolutely my business. In fact, I’m the CEO of that luscious body and I’m a hands-on kind of leader.”

I shook my head, unable to hold back my smile any longer. “Wow, you managed to turn a creepy text into an even creepier metaphor. Kudos to you.”

Ellis laughed. “Are you?”

“Am I what?”

“Naked,” he said. “I’m about the hop in the shower and I need a visual to, you know, help me finish the job.”

“You’re unbelievable.”

“Unbelievably sexy you mean.” I could hear the grin in his voice.

“Whatever.”

“Seriously, though,” he said. “What are you up to?”

“Well.” I took a deep breath, the ice-cold air burning my nose. “If you must know, Sawyer offered to make me dinner. I’m on my way to his place.”

“Really?” he asked. “Great!”

I stopped short on the sidewalk my feet frozen to the pavement. People around me grunted their disapproval and moved around me as I stood glued to the concrete.

“Great?” What happened to throwing his hat in the ring?

“Yeah. I’m starved; I’ll meet you there in ten.”

“You can’t be serious.”

“I love his food—man, that guy can cook. Best decision I ever made, going into business with him. Even if he’s trying to steal my woman.”

“Ellis!” I shouted into the phone. An elderly woman pulling a grocery cart behind her glared at me for my outburst. I mouthed my apologies to her then returned to my phone. “So help me God if you show up at Sawyer’s…”

“What’s the big deal? I’m friends with him. He’s friends with you. We can all have dinner together, it’ll be fun.”

“You aren’t invited.”

“Oh, Len, I’m hurt. I thought we were moving forward. We’re friends, aren’t we?”

I sighed. “Yes, we’re friends.”

“And friends sometimes eat together?” I groaned, not liking the route this conversation was taking. “Sawyer and I are friends, which I expect might change when I tell him how I feel about you. Oh, what the hell—we’ll just leave him out of this and you and I will just go ourselves.”

“Smooth, Ellis,” I said. “Real smooth.”

“I am pretty smooth if I do say so myself. Not to mention devastatingly handsome, and moderately charming.”

“Only moderately?” I asked.

“Yes, but don’t worry; I grow on you.”

I took a deep breath to calm my nerves and closed my eyes. “Please tell me you are not going to show up this evening.”

Ellis laughed. “Relax. I won’t be interrupting your little dinner.”

“Thanks.” I checked the address and looked up at Sawyer’s building. The door to which was sandwiched between a dry cleaner and a greasy pizza place. “I’ve got to go. I’ll talk to you later.”

“Okay,” he said. “Lennox?”

“Yeah.”

He didn’t say anything right away. I just stood there, the cold wind biting at my fingertips.

“Don’t—," he started, his voice sounding almost pained.

“Don’t, what?”

I stood there listening to him breathe on the other end.

“Nothing.” He sighed.

I groaned and rolled my eyes. “Bye, Ellis.”
