New Release Blitz and Giveaway

Author: Garrett Leigh
Title: Christmas Mountain
Cover Design: Black Jazz Design
Publisher: ‎ Fox Love Press
Release Date: 9th November 2021
Synopsis
The probation officer caring for his dead brother’s baby. The wounded gentle giant with the biggest softest heart.
Rami: Sweet Fen Hawthorne is my favourite thing about working in the prison. His broad shoulders and sunny grin. His twinkly flirtation. And he likes me as much as I like him. More seems inevitable until life happens.
One day I’m there, then I’m not, and second chances don’t really happen when your car breaks down halfway up a snowy mountain, do they?
Besides, I don’t remember flirting with a bearded lumbersexual, only dreaming about one.
Fen: Do dreams come true?
Christmas Mountain is my home. But it’s the one place on earth I never imagined seeing Rami Stone again, and now I’m snowed in with him. Trapped, with only a roaring fire for company, and it’s a fantasy come true. The air is thick with more than snow and the eighteen months we’ve been apart fades away.
As the snow clears, though, so does the haze. Rami says he comes with baggage.
But so do I, and I’m here for the heavy lifting.
I’m here for forever.
A Christmas MM romance from Garrett Leigh. Expect: Long lost friends-to-lovers, heart-warming found family, and the swooniest second chance at love with a healthy dose of sweet hurt/comfort. Gorging on mince pies and cinnamon-spiced doughnuts is optional, but deeply encouraged.

Garrett Leigh is an award-winning British writer and book designer.
Garrett's debut novel, Slide, won Best Bisexual Debut at the 2014 Rainbow Book Awards, and her polyamorous novel, Misfits was a finalist in the 2016 LAMBDA awards.

Blog Post and Giveaway for Unforgotten by Garrett Leigh

Author: Garrett Leigh
Title: Unforgotten
Length: 73,000 words approx.
Publisher: Carina Press

Blurb
Billy Daley hasn’t been home in years, and he likes it that way. He’s just fine on his own—he has a cash-in-hand job at a scrapyard, a half-feral cat to keep him company, and many miles between him, his hometown and all the baggage that comes with it.

Until the job goes sideways. Suddenly he’s back in Rushmere, working for none other than his brother’s best friend—a man whose kiss Billy can’t seem to forget.

Gus Amour’s memories of Billy Daley are all spiky edges, lips crushed against lips and a reckless streak that always ended in trouble. But when Billy needs a place to stay, Gus steps in. He’d do anything for the Daley family, including living, and working, side by side with a man who makes his heart beat too fast and his blood run too hot—two things he’s been running from for years.

It doesn’t take long before their easy banter, lingering touches and heated glances become a temptation too hard to resist. But falling into bed and falling in love are two different things, and love has never come easy to either Billy or Gus. Only when fate threatens to steal away their opportunity for a second chance will they realize they don’t need easy.

They just need each other.

Release Blitz - Forgiven (Forgiven #1) by Garrett Leigh

& Unforgotten (Forgiven #2) by Garrett Leigh Coming Soon

 

Author: Garrett Leigh 

Title: Forgiven (Forgiven #1)

Length: 66k words

Release Date: 25th January 2021

Blurb:

High school sweethearts Mia and Luke get a second chance at love in this brand-new contemporary romance from award-winning author Garrett Leigh.

When Mia Amour returns to England to open a florist shop, all she wants to do is put her lousy ex behind her and never look back. But getting a fresh start is easier said than done when her first love, the boy who once broke her teenage heart, strolls back into her life. He’s every bit as sexy as she remembers, and the urge to melt back into his arms almost makes her forget how devastated she was when he took off without a word. Almost.

Left with no choice, Luke Daley did what he had to do, leaving town to earn enough money to save his broken family, though it just about broke him, too. But now he’s back, running his uncle’s business and trying desperately to forget about Mia, the girl he left behind all those years ago. When he runs into her in town, the shock of seeing her again brings an intense rush of emotions: love, guilt…and an overwhelming urge to find out if it’s still as amazing between them as it used to be.

It doesn’t take either of them long to give in to desire and discover the fiery passion they once shared burns hotter than ever. With each new touch, each moment of forgiveness, old hurts heal and the future they’d hoped for ten years ago becomes possible again. But their fragile connection is tested by a threat neither of them saw coming—a threat that could end their second chance before it even gets started.

My Review: I received a copy in exchange for an honest review I love holiday anthologies as they are great to get you into a Christmassy frame of mind, but also because the stories can be read in between other books like little gifts of cheer to the reader. I enjoyed most of the stories in this anthology but some of them were not to my taste, or were of the kind where reading the authors previous stories in that world was necessary, hence only giving it a 4* rating. If you are like me and enjoy anthologies with a lot of romance and holiday cheer then give this a try, I'm sure there will be at least one story to your liking.

Reviewing Jude by Garrett Leigh

Jude (Lucky #3) by Garrett Leigh 2*
BLURB: Isha has spent the last year watching his BFF get his happily-ever-after. He’s proud of Dom, but…it hurts to see him so free while Isha’s love life is still on lockdown. Only Isha’s ex-wife knows the secret that he’s kept caged for so long—that he’s queer too, and he’s lonely.
Jude’s too chained to his work to notice what he’s missing by being terminally single, but a new face in the village soon catches his attention. City boy Isha is gorgeous, and when he starts to haunt Jude’s reptile shop as well as the hook-up app on his phone, he's a welcome distraction from Jude’s business problems.
For a control freak like Isha, letting Jude under his skin is an existential meltdown, but Jude’s not in the market to be anyone’s queer crisis, not when he’s facing troubles of his own. Unlocking their lives could push both men apart forever, but it might be a risk worth taking if sharing is the key to their happy future.


My Review: I received a copy in exchange for an honest review. When I agreed to review this book I hadn't realised it was book 3 from the series but it didn't seem to affect the overall the story line at all. However I really couldn't like this book much at all. I enjoyed reading about Jude and the reptiles but Isha really, really annoyed me. I couldn't fathom why he was constantly hiding his sexuality,especially as there was more than enough mention of his friends being out of the closet. Even his inner thoughts didn't really make him any more understandable or appealing to me. I also didn't really feel the connections between the two men and by the end of the book I was just glad to leave them behind me. I am coming to realise that Garrett Leigh is a hit or miss author for me so I am going to be a little more wary about reading any others from the series Lucky but will be looking for more from the series Skins (all the books in that series so far having been 4* reads for me.)

Review Tour & Giveaway for Only Love by Garrett Leigh

Title: Only Love
Author: Garrett Leigh
Length: 355 pages
Cover Design: Book Cover By Design
Blurb
The diagnosis of a chronic stomach condition leaves thirty-two-year-old Sergeant Jed Cooper with little choice but to call time on his Army career. Then on the dusty streets of Kirkuk, an ambush gone tragically wrong decimates his team, and he returns to the US with a shattered leg and the memory of his best friend dying in his arms.

Life in his sleepy hometown proves intolerable until he finds solace in a lakeside cabin with vivacious young carpenter, Max O’Dair. In the shadow of the epilepsy that periodically plagues Max, he and Jed form an unspoken bond. After a late night episode, Jed realizes how much Max means to him, and life has taught him not to waste time.

But the lines between contentment and complacency are blurred. Things left hidden resurface to tear through their world, and before they can repair the damage, death comes to call again. Faces, past and present, rally around them to weather the storm, but before long, they are left with only love.
