Release Boost: Scored by Aleatha Romig

SCORED
Aleatha Romig
Release Date: September 7
AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED
It all comes down to this—the conclusion of The Coopers.

With the postseason on the line and the dream of a championship within reach, tragedy strikes the Lexington Coopers once again.

As Reid Hubbard's daughter, I've spent my life protecting my family's football dynasty. Pressure comes with the name. Expectations come with every game.

What I never expected was Griffin Graham.

Fourteen years after he shattered my heart, the veteran quarterback is back in my life—and somehow, back in my heart. Now the man I swore I'd never trust again is the one beside me when I fall asleep and the first face I see each morning.

But love doesn't make winning easier.

The season has come down to this.

Every play.
Every decision.
Every game.

My father wanted a Super Bowl victory.

Now, with everything we've fought for hanging in the balance and Fin facing his greatest challenge yet, the future of the Coopers—and our second chance at forever—may depend on the final score.

Have you been Aleatha'd?

From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a steamy, addictive football romance packed with family legacy, second chances, heartbreak, and jaw-dropping twists.

We finally have the conclusion to this great series, and what a way to wrap it up! Scored by Aleatha Romig was a solid 4-star read for me.

After everything these characters have been through, I was excited to see how their story would finally come together. There was plenty of tension, emotion, and those moments that kept me turning the pages because I needed to know what was going to happen next.

But let me tell you—the twist! I literally never saw it coming. I love when an author can genuinely surprise me, and this one completely caught me off guard. I spent a good portion of the book trying to figure things out, only to realize I was nowhere close!

Overall, Scored was a satisfying conclusion to a series I've really enjoyed. If you've been following the series, you definitely won't want to miss this one!

Release Blitz: Sacked by Aleatha Romig


SACKED
Aleatha Romig
Release Date: July 27
AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED
“Power, legacy, secrets, and emotional warfare… I ate it UP.” —Review

Second chance romance. Football dynasty. High-stakes betrayal.
My life, my career, my future—was built on the Hubbards’ legacy: honor, heritage, tradition.

Or so I believed.

Now it’s all falling apart.

The Coopers aren’t just a football team.
They’re power, secrets, and emotional warfare.

Under the bright lights of Crystal Light Stadium, the real game is finally clear.

This isn’t just about the Super Bowl—
It’s about protecting my family’s dynasty at any cost.

And this is when he walks back into my life.

The man from my past.
My biggest regret… and my greatest weakness.

He wants a second chance.
A place beside me in a game ruled by loyalty, lies, and betrayal.

But in this world, trust is a risk.
And desire is a liability.

Because what we share…
It’s explosive. Dangerous. Impossible to ignore.

And it might be the one thing that brings everything crashing down.

Because football isn’t just a game.

It’s power. It’s legacy. It’s survival.
And I’ll stop at nothing to keep it alive.

From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a steamy, addictive football romance packed with power plays, betrayal, and jaw-dropping twists.

SACKED is Book 3 in The Coopers series, ends on a cliffhanger, and must be read in order: INTERCEPTED → RUSHED → SACKED → SCORED.
Grab Your Copy!
The continuation of the Coopers series is just as captivating as the beginning. Just when you think you have uncovered all there is to reveal, we are pulled into another twist that only Aleatha could spin. The secrets and lies pile up, just like players on the field. The two lead characters - Vee and Fin - have gone through and will continue to endure plenty for the sake of love and family, and commitment. The biggest questions are: Who should Vee trust, and will you one-click this like you need to?
Sacked picks up after the bombshell ending of book two, and poor Vee is still reeling. As she tries to figure out what is true and what has been hidden from her, more secrets come to light—and somehow nothing seems to add up.

Uncle Darin and Grant continue to keep everyone guessing, while Daphne's decision to contest the will adds even more tension to an already complicated situation. Through it all, the one constant is Fin. Watching his relationship with Vee continue to grow was one of my favorite parts of the book.

Of course, this wouldn't be an Aleatha Romig novel without a cliffhanger! I need answers, and I can't wait to dive into the fourth and final book to see how everything unfolds.

Happy reading!

Release Blitz: The Bone Dagger by Clara Rhodes

 

    THE BONE DAGGER by Clara Rhodes 
  Release Date: July 21st 
  Genre/Tropes: Dark Romantasy / Epic Fantasy / Prey to predator FMC / Mental health arcs/healing arcs / Reluctant allies/Reluctant hero / Slowburn / Cursed magic / Mortals versus Monsters / Revenge/Redemption arcs / Forced proximity / High Stakes 

THE BONE DAGGER by Clara Rhodes is NOW LIVE! Make sure to grab this all-new epic, slow burn, dark romantasy today! 


  AVAILABLE NOW!
Audio Narrated by Mollie Stark and Sebastian Grove! https://geni.us/UjSXU    




The Bone Dagger is a strong debut fantasy that lays the groundwork for what promises to be an exciting series. Clara Rhodes creates an intriguing world filled with curses, monsters, ancient magic, and just enough mystery to keep you turning the pages.

Helaina has spent her entire life hidden away, knowing she was different but never truly understanding why. Feeling more like a prisoner than someone being protected, it's easy to understand why she resented those closest to her. When tragedy takes everything from her, she loses the will to keep going—until Theo enters her life and forces her to make a choice: live for something or die for nothing.

I won't lie—some of Helaina's interactions with Theo gave me a bit of whiplash. Her feelings and reactions toward him shifted so quickly at times that it pulled me out of the story and left me a little frustrated. That said, I really enjoyed Theo's role in challenging Helaina to stop seeing herself as a victim and realize that her loved ones didn't die in vain. Watching her slowly discover a purpose beyond her grief was one of my favorite parts of the book.

I also loved the dual timeline. The glimpses into the past gradually unraveled Helaina's history while adding emotional depth to everything happening in the present. It was a clever way to reveal secrets without slowing the momentum of the story.

Overall, The Bone Dagger delivers an engaging blend of fantasy, danger, and slow-building romance. While Helaina's character took some getting used to, the worldbuilding, unfolding mysteries, and compelling setup have me eager to see where this series goes next.


"In this spellbinding debut fantasy, passion and peril entwine in a tale of curses, monsters, and forbidden desire. Perfect for fans of dark romance, this sweeping first installment introduces a heroine whose heart may be as dangerous as her power."


This opening to the blurb was on point. Spellbinding fantasy beautifully written. This tale is full of emotion, excitement, and edge-of-your-seat action. I enjoyed the dual timeline because it added the perfect movement to this story. This author did a wonderful job creating a world we, as the reader, can lose themselves in. Each character was well-developed and each setting was skillfully detailed. And the chemistry between the MFC and MMC was... *sigh*.

If you love fantasy, romance, a touch of mythic tales and legends, then you will love this one. One-click to begin this journey!

    

In this spellbinding debut fantasy, passion and peril entwine in a tale of curses, monsters, and forbidden desire. Perfect for fans of dark romance, this sweeping first installment introduces a heroine whose heart may be as dangerous as her power. Born with the blood of a hell god in her veins, Helaina Ironblood has lived her life in secrecy, hidden from a realm already teetering on the edge of ruin. When tragedy shatters her family and the heir to the throne is lost, Helaina is cast into exile--her cursed power now a beacon to enemies who would see the world burn. Beyond the Ash Cliff Mountains, monsters stalk the land, and darker forces hunger for the weapon Helaina carries within her. Seized by Theodon Wrenn, the feared captain of a mysterious legion, Helaina is thrust into a war that stretches far beyond her imagining. Ruthless, commanding, and bound by secrets of his own, Theodon believes she is the key to victory. Yet the more he tries to bend her to his will, the more he is drawn to her defiance--and to the dangerous fire in her blood. Unlocking her power requires the Bone Dagger, an ancient relic that binds gods, beasts, and mortals alike, but demands a price--Helaina's mortal life. Torn between the man who would sacrifice her and the destiny she never wanted, Helaina must decide whether her curse will bring salvation ... or ruin.
