Release Blitz and Review: Finding Lord Landry by Lucy Lennox

Title: Finding Lord Landry
Series: The Billionaire Brotherhood #5
Author: Lucy Lennox
Genre: Contemporary Gay Romance
Tropes: Enemies with Benefits, Boss/Employee
Workplace Romance, Secret Fling, Fake Fiancé
Release Date: March 25, 2025
When a secret enemies-with-benefits situation turns into the world’s most public fake marriage…

The world knows me as Landry Davis, supermodel. A beautiful face and killer abs that have spawned a hundred fantasies.

To my friends, I’m simply Landry, the snarkiest (read: most fun) member of our billionaire brotherhood.

But to Kenji Toma, the gorgeous and oh-so-capable personal assistant I’ve been in love with for years, I’m “effing Landry,” the charming slacker who disappears for weeks only to resurface in trouble. His favorite enemy-with benefits. A man he refuses to fall in love with (though I’ve tried) and also can’t resist managing (a fact I’m not too proud to take advantage of).

What none of them know is that I have another title–in fact, a whole other life. One I was born into. One that comes with sprawling estates, a coronet, and a metric ton of familial and political expectations. A life I’ve kept secret for way too long… and hope to keep secret for just a little while longer.

At least until I learn Kenji is in danger.

When all my money and fame can’t save the man I love, I don’t hesitate to use long-hidden political power to whisk him to safety, even though it means outing myself as Viscount Hawling, the elusive heir to the Davencourt earldom…

And pretending the man who loves to hate me is actually my doting husband.

I have been anxiously awaiting this book, and it did not disappoint. The little teases we got about Landry and Kenji were only the tip of the iceberg! Their chemistry was off the charts, the build-up and development were great, and the story brought the whole series to a nice end...Although, I do want Foster's book now...and I will be waiting impatiently for it. 

I think Landry and Kenji's story is my favorite in the series. We get glimpses into the others and what is going on with them, but more than that, we finally get to see exactly what has been going on with these two. It is a lot of push and pull, and I wanted to slap them both a time or three. This is one you need for your collection. 5 stars.

After enjoying creative writing as a child, Lucy didn’t write her first novel until she was over 40 years old. Her debut novel, Borrowing Blue, was published in the autumn of 2016. Lucy has an English Literature degree from Vanderbilt University, but that doesn’t hold a candle to the years and years of staying up all night reading tantalizing novels on her own. She has three children, plays tennis, and hates folding laundry. While her husband is no shmoopy romance hero, he is very good at math, cooks a mean lasagne, has gorgeous eyes, looks hot in his business clothes, and makes her laugh every single day. She writes gay romance with heart, humor, and heat!

Release Blitz: Immortal Sun by Rachel Van Dyken


IMMORTAL SUN
Rachel Van Dyken
Release Date: March 24
Available in Kindle Unlimited
Discover a brand-new world where demons, vampires, fallen angels, gods, and fae roam the earth in modern-day Seattle in a gripping romantasy from #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken. There isn't a lore that doesn't exist around Mt. Olympus, and nobody is safe from the wrath of the immortals who watch.

My only goal: Beat him at his own game.
His: Save the world and himself.

Thousands of people have disappeared from this world by way of his hand and the universe breathes for only one more drop of blood--mine.
He promised he would help me find my brother.
He lied.

I don't know why I immediately trusted Cyrus. He was stunningly gorgeous, nice, and so accommodating that maybe I felt too safe—maybe that was the first red flag.
The second was that he always said my missing twin was fine, that he'd come back when he was done traveling and that I should stay put until his return.
Looks are deceiving. And I forgot..

Now I'm completely screwed. I'm trapped here until the eclipse and the great Sun God says I'm the last sacrifice he has to make in order to ascend to Olympus. I have so many questions about the mixed mythology and each answer that crawls out of Seattle has me more terrified and confused than the first.

I'm surrounded by fallen angels, demons--basically every terrifying yet perfectly normal looking creature on the planet and working at a bar called Styx, counting the days until two of the very coins I take on a daily basis will be used to cover my travel.

Anubis seems nice enough but I don't want to die. There has to be a way and I'm hellbent on finding it even if it means I join the other side.

I absolutely love mythology books and reimagining of mythology. This book did not disappoint. Though the beginning was a bit rough for me, this pulled through big time and I literally CAN’T wait for the next installment! Yes, this is a cliffhanger.

Cleo is looking for her brother, her twin. She heads to the last place he was know to have been. And luckily enough, his employer is glad to hire her and help her search for him. Not suspicious at all. Cleo is immediately drawn to her new employer, Cyrus.

Cyrus is the Immortal God – Ra (the sun). And his trial, to get back to ruling on Olympus and to save humanity, is simple really – kill (sacrifice) every last child of Chaos. Its been centuries, and Cleo is the last, only this time it feels different.

This was definitely a jump right into it, fast-paced by the end, type of book. I loved Cleo’s strength and courage. She worked so hard at showing Cyrus his human side. And Cyrus is so resolute in saving humanity but now he is starting to question if it is even worth it. I couldn’t put this book down and I will be impatiently awaiting the second. One-click now – you will not de disappointed,

Spencer Lim has a good life—a decent apartment, a job renovating houses with his best friend, and a dog who’s the goodest boy on the planet. So what if he hasn’t slept with the same guy twice since he moved to Pittsfield? It’s not like he’s looking for a relationship, anyway.

Then he gets a call from Ian Collier, who has a wreck of a house and no idea what to do with it. This should be just like any other job. Except that Ian is quiet and serious and looks at Spencer in a way that intrigues him like nothing has in a long time. There’s a reason Spencer doesn’t do repeats, but it’s getting harder and harder to remember the more time he spends with Ian.

When Spencer volunteers to help Ian clean out the house’s basement, he starts to understand why dealing with the place has been so hard for Ian, and he’s tempted to share in return. Will opening up to Ian be a mistake? Or is Spencer finally ready to put himself out there again?
Spencer took Ian’s hand and led him over to the couch, pulling him into his lap. Ian’s hair was a bit wild from being outside and from Spencer playing with it earlier, and his pupils were blown wide. He licked his lips. 

Spencer ran his hands up Ian’s sides over the soft fabric of his T-shirt. “What is this made of? Angels’ tears?”

Ian buried his head in Spencer’s shoulder to hide his laugh. “Pima cotton, I think.”

“Sure.” Spencer slid his palms down the expanse of Ian’s back to feel it again.

Ian wrapped his hands around Spencer’s neck and leaned down and kissed him. Spencer grabbed Ian’s hips, partially so he didn’t fall off the couch but mostly because it felt nice to have his hands on him. Spencer let himself slip into the sensation, not worried about what came next. It was so hard to worry when Ian was around. Ian’s lips were warm and gentle, and his tongue was moving leisurely against Spencer’s. Ian seemed to like to lead, so Spencer relaxed back into the couch cushions, tipping his head up to meet Ian’s lips. He felt calm, like he always did when he was with Ian, a warm pleasure suffusing his body.

Suddenly something wet was shoved between their torsos. “Oh my god, Norman.” Spencer extended his arm and snapped, trying to distract Norman as far away from them as he could reach. “Go the fuck away.”

Ian’s whole body was shaking with laughter. He looked beautiful, cheeks flushed, eyes bright, and Spencer got distracted by it until Norman nosed back in.

“I’m so sorry.”

“It’s okay.” Ian ran his thumbs over Spencer’s cheekbones. “He’s just encouraging moderation. I could have kept kissing you all night.”

“Norman has never enjoyed moderation in his life.” Spencer tried to look at the dog sternly, but his big, dopey eyes disarmed him like they always did. “I’m not sure what your plan for the night was, but if we get in bed and start, uh, other activities, he’ll leave us alone.”

“Yeah, that sounds nice.” Ian kissed him one more time, slow and sweet, then slid off his lap.
