RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW - Silas (Station 47 Series) by Lauren Runow

Title: Silas
Series: Station 47 Series
Author: Lauren Runow
Genre/Tropes: Contemporary Firefighter Romance; Surprise Baby; Found Family; Country Music Singer 
Release Date: October 8, 2024


Kara
I moved to Nashville to follow my dreams of being a country music singer.
Who would have ever thought I’d meet the love of my life at one of my first shows?
His enthusiasm for my music is evident, but when he gets his sister to invite all of her college friends to my next show, my music career isn’t the only thing soaring through the night.

Silas
I always wanted to be a firefighter, but I never knew how much of a toll it would take on my personal life.
Finding the one took a back seat early on, and the thought of having kids was absolutely out of the question. I’ve seen too much heartache, and I would never put myself through the possibility of losing someone I loved.
I’m used to being the hero in everyone else’s story, but I never knew just how much I needed a hero of my own—until I meet her.

Silas is a stand-alone novel in the Station 47 series, shared with seven other amazing authors. It is a surprise-baby, country-music musician, and found-family novel with some sweet, emotional, and spicy times.


I’m loving this series so far, and getting Silas’ story was all kinds of fantastic! The chemistry between Silas and Kara is electric from the start and doesn’t let go. One of my favorite things about this series is that each MMC isn’t afraid to show his caring, in touch with his emotions side when it comes to the one who has captured his heart.








When she walks onstage, my entire body lights up. I knew she was beautiful, but up onstage, she just radiates this aura that makes her beyond gorgeous. She truly is an angel up there.

“Hey, everybody. Thanks for coming out. I’m Kara Parsons,” she says, and the crowd cheers. “Tonight, I’m going to play some originals, some covers, and some songs you know but with my own twist. I hope you enjoy.”

The crowd cheers some more as I sit here like a goofy fool with a huge smile on my face, taking it all in.

She strums her guitar, and I swear it’s magic—the way I watch the crowd light up as she sings the first song. Everyone is enthralled by her, giving her their full attention and dancing to the sounds she produces.

Myles comes up to me and says, “Dang, when you go all out, you go all out.”

I point toward her. “You can see why though, right?”

He nods. “I see. She’s gorgeous, and she has a good voice.” He looks at me, then her, then back at me. “Yeah, you’re fucked,” he says with a laugh.

“Ha! Why am I fucked?”

“That girl is going to do a number on you. No doubt. You did all of this for her, and you’ve, what, been on one date?”

I blow him off. “Doesn’t matter.”

“I just hope she likes you as much as you like her.”

I take a smooth inhale, feeling secure about where I stand with her. “She does.”

He slaps my arm. “Whatever, you cocky son of a bitch. We’ll see.”

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW - Rhett (Station 47 Series) by Evan Grace

Title: Rhett
Series: Station 47 Series
Author: Evan Grace
Genre/Tropes: Firefighter Romance; Opposites Attract; Surprise Pregnancy; Virgin Heroines
Release Date: September 10, 2024


I love to live my life free as bird. In my line of work, it's better to have no attachments. I have no desire to leave some poor woman and children behind.

Plus, who doesn't love having women flock to you? But then why does the strawberry-blonde who walked into our fire house with a box full of cookies, monopolize my thoughts and make me think that there's something more that I could have, if I just grab it.

Rhett saved me from my burning building. I had no idea meeting him would change my life. He's the most beautiful man I've ever met and sees something in me that he can't get enough of. From the start he's all in, but when two little lines appear... everything changes.

Sofia's changed everything and all we can do is hold on and enjoy the ride, no matter what comes our way.


A solid addition to this great so far series, I'm enjoying getting to the know the crew of Station 47 from the POVs from various authors. This time we get to meet Rhett, he was in the periphery in Grayson's book and had a lot more screen time (page time?) in Cooper's book, which I thought was a good way to set the stage for Rhett's turn in the hot seat (no pun intended). We also got a small glimpse of Sofia in Cooper's story, and while they way they met sucked donkey balls, it was a good set up for their unconventional road towards a potential HEA. They both have their own respective issues from their younger years that have shaped who we meet, but it's something about their backgrounds that make them good for each other. But I have to admit, I'm loving watching these ladies men fall hard and fast that one woman who becomes the singular focus of their entire world.











A Midwesterner and a readaholic most of my life until one day an idea came to me and a writing career was born. I'm a lover of happily ever afters and loves creating fictional worlds that others can get lost in. I love putting my characters through the ringer, but love when they get to that satisfying, swoony ending.

When the voices in my head give it a rest, which isn’t often, I can always be found with my e-reader in my hand. Some of my favorites include, Aurora Rose Reynolds, and (the queen) Kristen Ashley. I find a lot of my inspiration in music, movies, TV shows and life.

I'm a wife to Jim and mom to Ethan and (the real)Evan, and a full-time author. How does I do it? I'll never tell.
