It’s a good time to feature , given the recent release of The Name Game! Beth is a UK based author so it’s fun to see how her publisher they markets to her home vs here in the states. Beth is known for her inventive premises and books with a twist and The Flatshare is no exception. Two people who share a flat - and a bedroom - and a BED - but have never met. Intrigued?

Synopsis of The Flatshare:

Tiffy and Leon share a flat
Tiffy and Leon share a bed
Tiffy and Leon have never met…

Tiffy Moore needs a cheap flat, and fast. Leon Twomey works nights and needs cash. Their friends think they’re crazy, but it’s the perfect solution: Leon occupies the one-bed flat while Tiffy’s at work in the day, and she has the run of the place the rest of the time.

But with obsessive ex-boyfriends, demanding clients at work, wrongly imprisoned brothers and, of course, the fact that they still haven’t met yet, they’re about to discover that if you want the perfect home you need to throw the rulebook out the window…

✨📖On July 14th, come celebrate the launch of sci-fi romantic suspense, Psionic Heart, by debut author, Ash Leo Reed (Ash Leo Reed) The party will take place from 6:30 - 8:30 pm, and is FREE to attend.

About Psionic Heart: 

Dietra, a plus-sized Black woman with a gift she’s kept hidden, has been spiraling ever since her twin sister vanished without a trace. When she’s abducted herself, she’s thrown into a brutal psychic asset training program deep inside a secret mountain facility-alongside other people of color stolen from their lives for the same purpose. Inside, she meets Key, a brooding asset with secrets of his own. 
The connection between them is instant, dangerous, and forbidden. As Dietra’s telekinesis grows stronger, so does their bond—until resisting each other becomes as impossible as resisting the system that controls them. On the outside, Yemi, the man she left behind, is piecing together the truth... and realizing too late that he still loves her. But time is running out. Inside the facility, alliances are shifting, Dietra becomes closer to Key, and her growing powers may be the key to a conspiracy that could destroy them all. 
Psionic Heart is a sci-fi romantic suspense, perfect for fans of Silver Elite by Dani Frances and Daggermouth by H.M. Wolfe. It’s filled with telekinetic battles, found-family bonds, forced proximity, and a forbidden love that defies captivity.
 
About Ash Leo Reed: 
Ash Leo Reed was born in Texas, but grew up calling several states (and one foreign country) their home as a military brat. They cut their teeth as a writer on rap-centric 
listicles and e-commerce SEO writing in the early 2010s, graduating to think pieces on spirituality, astrology, and music criticism. A lifelong fan of sci-fi and fantasy, they 
strive to create Afro futuristic worlds in fiction, beginning with their debut novel, Psionic Heart. They make a beautiful little life with their partner and reactive chihuahua in 
Seattle, Washington.

🏡💗One of my fave books is Lease on Love by probably why I’m partial to the US cover. Do you have a fav?

Synopsis of Lease on Love: After getting passed over for an overdue—and much needed—promotion, Sadie Green is in desperate need of three things: a stiff drink, a new place to live, and a one-night-stand. When one drink turns into one too many, Sadie mixes up a long-ignored dating app for a roommate-finding app and finds herself on the doorstep of Jack Thomas’s gorgeous Brooklyn brownstone. Too bad she’s more attracted to his impressive real estate than she is to the man himself.

Jack, still grieving the unexpected death of his parents, has learned to find comfort in video games and movie marathons instead of friends. So while he doesn’t know just what to make of the vivaciously verbose Sadie, he’s willing to offer her his spare bedroom while she gets back on her feet. And with the rent unbeatably low, Sadie can finally pursue her floristry side hustle full-time. The two are polar opposites, but as Sadie’s presence begins to turn the brownstone into a home, they both start to realize they may have just made the deal of a lifetime.

🖤 This one is for my dark romance fans! Join us on Sunday July 12th, from noon - 3 pm for a book signing by authors Shayla Kieneker & Jessica Miller aka

Shayla Kieneker & Jessica Miller books blend dark romance, emotional grit, power dynamics, and pulse-racing tension that lingers long after the last page. Set against the moody backdrop of Seattle, their world is one where nothing is black and white—just tangled sheets, twisted truths, and characters clawing their way through trauma, temptation, and truth.



Here’s the synopsis of Kinked: 
Kinked is a lightly dark, smutty romance that follows Irie as she attempts to juggle her double identity as a busy Seattle Assistant and Deviant Do******ix.

MY PAST... is something I’d forget if memories were a choice.

MY PRESENT is a direct result of everything I ran from. I created my new life for the exact
same reason I created my name. To disappear. To be free. To never be treated
as someone’s possession again.

It seems LEDGER DEVELRRE entered my life in order to test that theory. He likes to hide
his arrogance and control issues behind his handsome face. He’s the kind of man I’d
typically avoid. Sadly, he’s also the man who is providing my paychecks.

Then there’s SAINT... Sexily Subservient and the body of a God.
I give him what he needs and he gives me what I crave.

But is he enough to keep me satisfied?
