Book Blitz: Always Falling Behind by Beth Gelman @RABTBookTours



Dazed and Confused, Book One

 

Romantic Comedy

 


Never hitch a ride with a stranger…unless he’s hot.


I’m Abigail Farnsworth-Burton. ADHD’er extraordinaire. Aspiring artist of mediums I’m not practiced in and chef of meals I’ve never eaten. And now, heiress. Basically, it means I now own more assets than I can wrap my head — and my limited organizational capacity — around.

So, of course, my car breaks down 400 miles shy of my new mansion. And, of course, the only guy offering a ride looks intimidating as hell…until he opens his mouth. I didn’t care that he tripped over his words every time he spoke to me. I figured if he were a real killer, he’d be smoother in his script. Bad guys are never this hot…right?

And Elias McGinnis is anything but scripted — unlike the voice in my head that seems intent on my eventual downfall.

My one saving grace is my new friend, Amy the Great. She always knows exactly how to get things done. Too bad she’s a chicken.

But old money attracts new enemies, and focusing on anything is impossible with my sexy live-in mechanic. If I only had a plan – and some actual cash. Oh, and a car.


Always Falling Behind is a fun, steamy rom-com that shows neurodivergent people living their best lives.

Blurb:


A volatile evening of family drama is interrupted by a surprise earthquake, knocking out power to the entire city. Explosions ensue, followed by the appearance of something no one can explain, plunging the group into a high-stakes game of survival.

With fires breaking out across the city and chaos in the streets, Marissa and her loved ones must decide the best way to survive the night. Sit tight and wait for help or try to escape on foot. Both are dangerous, but not nearly as deadly as the things stalking the city...

An emotional apocalyptic thriller for fans of 
Cloverfield, Super 8, and Bird Box.

My Review:

Marissa and her spouse, India, host a dinner for her mother, Sylvia; her aunt, Kenzie; and her sister, Krystin, when suddenly an earthquake strikes. The lights go out, internet access is lost, and blasts erupt all around, igniting fires and leaving a scene of utter turmoil.

Unsure of how to proceed, Marissa and her family contemplate whether to remain indoors or venture out into the streets. After weighing their options, they opt to face the uncertainty outside, where pandemonium escalates, and peril awaits them the moment they exit their apartment.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in the Ruined Planet series, The Wars Not Won by Kate L. Mary. The gripping uncertainty held me captive as they left the safety of their home to confront whatever lay ahead.

The Wars Not Won brought to mind War of the Worlds (2005), featuring Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, and Justin Chatwin. I adore this film and could watch it repeatedly. I would love to see The Wars Not Won transformed into a television series.

The descriptions were so vividly crafted that I had no trouble envisioning the scenes in my mind as if I were watching a show. It felt incredibly real, as though I were a part of the story.

If you enjoy sci-fi films or series similar to this, you will undoubtedly fall in love with The Wars Not Won from the very start, just as I did. So make sure to pick up your copy of The Wars Not Won today to embark on a fresh adventure in the world of the Ruined Planet!

Cover Reveal: Nerdy Girl Nell by Lindsey Gray @LindseyGray11 @XpressoTours

Nerdy Girl Nell
Lindsey Gray
(Nerdy Girl Novels, #2)
Publication date: March 17th 2026
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance, Sports

Nell De Lacy loves small things like leading library story time, a well-stocked bookshelf, and evenings with friends. Relearning how to date after grief was supposed to be the hardest thing.

Enter professional wrestler Chance Robicheaux. Towering, tender, and utterly relentless about keeping her safe. The two become friends first, spending nights learning each other’s quirks. Between hospital rooms and poker nights, the two find something electric and real.

Nell’s life suddenly fractures with a violent assault, a cache of stolen images, and a blackmailer who won’t be denied. As the threat tightens and the press draws near, Nell’s voice, literally and figuratively, fails her at the worst possible time.

With the De Lacy family company’s December board vote approaching, Nell faces a critical challenge that threatens to upend her life. The outcome of the vote carries the risk of awarding a coveted contract to the wrong people, forcing Nell to balance family loyalty, legal danger, and a secret that could change everything.

Nell and Chance’s is a story about rebuilding, of finding courage in therapy and friendship, and discovering there’s strength in asking for help. Nell’s fight becomes Chance’s fight, and soon they choose to fight evil together. Will justice arrive before the quiet she loves is gone forever?
