RELEASE BLITZ REVIEW: Skyscraper Cinderella by K. Webster


Skyscraper Cinderella by K Webster is now live! 


"Brilliant storytelling packed with a powerful emotional punch, it's been years since I've been so invested in a book." - #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken

The fairy tale you know and love...
With a scorching hot twist!

This is the complete modern Cinderella trilogy in one collection.

Winston Constantine isn't a lover, he's a business venture.
A way for me to pay for college.
A ticket out.

He's never pretended to be anything other than that.
I can't blame him for making me fall in love.

"Extravagant sex, shocking fantasy, and wonderful humor too. I fell into it like a dream...a dream I didn't want to wake up from." - New York Times bestselling author Annabel Joseph

Sonja's Review


I wanted to read Stroke of Midnight as soon as I saw it because I love K. Webster and I’m always down for a fairytale re-telling. When I learned that it was going to be a trilogy, I decided to wait until all the books were out before I started Ash and Winston’s story. And yeah, I know that the trilogy’s been complete since April, but I’m a big procrastinator and therefore, naturally, I put it off. I probably would have waited even longer, but after reading and really loving Pam Godwin’s Lessons in Sin, I’ve been motivated to check out this Midnight Dynasty world and took advantage of this anthology coming into play. I so loved that Skyscraper Cinderella had all three books and as soon one book ended, all I had to do was flip the page and the next book was right there and I didn’t feel obligated to wait until I finished my review before diving in again! I think I’ll seek out box sets/anthologies more often so I can continue with that, but I’ll actually get into it now. 

I loved Stroke of Midnight from the get-go! It was steamy and Ash and Winston were dirty, filthy, and their banter was just fire — I couldn’t get enough! I loved their dynamic, the way they challenged and pushed each other, and how they had fun, playful, sweet moments. This was a fantastic introduction to Ash and Win and it left me eager to see how everything would all work out! 

Moving onto Prince Charming next. I’m not going to lie, while I really loved the first book, I struggled a little with this one. Win frustrated me a lot, Ash did too a little, but I thought he would be more open to Ash and he was stubbornly trying to resist that! Which I know I guess I shouldn’t be annoyed with him based on my false expectations, but he was just a real turd. They’re like two magnets being pulled together and he was futilely trying to fight the pull and that bothered me. He’s not all bad, he did have his good moments, but I certainly was not his biggest fan by the end of this book, that’s for sure. Prince Charming was a fine book, I just didn’t enjoy it like I did Stroke of Midnight.

Now, we’re at the grand finale with The Glass Slipper and while I definitely had my problems with Prince Charming, I loved the conclusion to Ash and Win’s book so hard! Winston totally got himself back in my good graces and stole my heart and I’ve always loved Ash, she’s a star! It was exciting and kept me guessing the whole way through. It surprised me and reminded me that I never know one hundred percent what Ms. Webster is going to come up with. It was a wonderful ending to the trilogy and left me with a big smile on face and feeling all warm and fuzzy! 

I’m so glad that this trilogy got an anthology because I feel like it allows me to reflect over the entire series in a way that seems more natural to include in this review as opposed to putting it in a review that’s solely for that individual book. It was frustrating and hard at times watching what all Ash and Winston went through, some of it their fault and other times out of their control, but there was definitely plenty of fun, heart melting moments too. Getting to see how their relationship formed, evolved, and strengthened was just so lovely to be a part of. While I should technically give Skyscraper Cinderella four and a half stars as I would really only give Prince Charming four stars, I just have to give it a full five stars because of how much I loved The Glass Slipper! It left me with such a high that it deserves nothing less than five stars — I just loved Ash and Win and their story so much!

RELEASE BLITZ REVIEW: Exposed by Kristen Callihan


Exposed (VIP #4) by Kristen Callihan is now live!


Brenna

There are some people in life who know exactly how to push your buttons. For me, it’s Rye Peterson. We can’t spend more than ten minutes together before we’re at each other’s throats, which makes working together that much harder. Rye is the bassist for Kill John, the biggest rock band in the world, and I am his publicist. It doesn’t help that the man is gorgeous, funny, talented, and…never takes anything seriously. Avoidance is key.

But everything changes when he overhears something he shouldn’t: a confession made in a moment of weakness. Now the man I’ve tried so hard to ignore is offering me the greatest temptation of all—him.


Rye

Brenna James is the one. The one I can’t have. The one I can’t get out of my mind. Believe me, I’ve tried; the woman loathes me. I managed well enough—until I heard her say she’s as lonely as I am. That she needed to be touched, held, satisfied. And I could no longer deny the truth: I wanted to be the one to give her what she craved. 

I convinced her that it would just be sex, mutual satisfaction with nothing deeper. But the moment I have her, she becomes my world. I’ve never given her a good reason to trust me before. Now, I’ve got to show Brenna that we’re so much better together than we ever were apart.

Things are going to get messy. But getting messy with Brenna is what I do best.

Sonja's Review


I absolutely adore Kristen Callihan and her VIP series, so you know I was going to be reading Exposed as soon as I could — especially because I’ve been highly anticipating Brenna and Rye’s story as I’m a big enemies to lovers fan and the tension between them was so good in the past. I didn’t have a lot of expectations going in except for that I knew it was going to be a good book and that I would love it. I wasn’t really wrong with those thoughts, but I did struggle with Exposed a bit. I don’t know if I was just in the wrong headspace for it or if I was too in my head while reading, but it just felt like something was missing. I’ve been trying to figure out what that was, but I can explain everything away except for the way I felt. 

I know when I started reading and found out that it was going to be the let’s have sex for awhile pretty much without strings attached trope, I wasn’t enthused, but I understand that it makes the most sense as Rye and Brenna have known each other for a long time now and I trusted that everything would be good since it’s Kristen Callihan. With the trope though, I kept bracing myself for the angst to come because I don’t like angst, but it never really did which I’m very glad for, I guess I just had my guard up for most of the book though. 

I think I just became too guarded and in my head with this book and that was why I didn’t enjoy it as much as the others. I think it would really benefit from a re-read someday because I’ll know exactly what to expect and I can just sit back, relax, and enjoy it fully. I know I haven’t really made this sound good, but it really was fantastic when I push my hang-ups to the side. I loved Brenna and Rye’s dynamic, they were hot, fun, and cute. I loved how much they grew and communicated and just have such a rock solid bond. 

Exposed was beautiful and the best part was honestly Rye — oh, I love that man so much! Rye is the sweetest, most devoted guy ever and he utterly, completely shined. He was my bright spot throughout the entire book and he’s without a doubt my favorite hero in this series and I think he will remain so. Rye makes me excited to read Exposed again some day, but in the meantime, I’ll be looking forward to Whip’s book next!
