Blog Tour: Release Blitz + Review for The Renter by Serena Pier

 

The Renter by Serena Pier is now live!



Dani and Adam are both picking up the pieces. She is living at home in the Geneva Lake area of Wisconsin for the summer after a career failure, and he is seeking distance from Chicago after his divorce. Neither expected to have a summer romance, yet the cottage he rents becomes the catalyst, bringing them together and inciting what's supposed to be a casual summer fling until they discover mutual connections, threatening their sexy whirlwind.

The Renter does not end in a traditional happy ending for a romance novel. The happy ending comes in the series' last book, The One.

SAGA Series
Finding yourself is a saga. Or at least for Dani Sommer it is. The SAGA series (The Townie, The Renter, The Client, and The One) follows Dani through the rollercoaster of her twenties, with many personal and professional ups and downs. Each book features a new relationship and love interest ... or two.

The SAGA Series stands for Sorin, Adam, Gideon & Auden - the main male characters of each book.
- Sorin - The Townie - Prequel
- Adam - The Renter - Book #1
- Gideon - The Client - Book #2
- Auden - The Reporter - Book #3

- ??? - The One - Book #4

Wine Cellar Library's Review:


“I want to cherish you, and I want to know you. The whole you…I’m starting to fall for you, and I barely know anything about you.” (p. 60)

★★★★☆
🌶🌶🌶


First, I would like to thank the author and Grey's Promotions for providing me with a free advanced review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Will Adam be the Mr. Big to Dani’s Carrie?

One impulsive decision after another brings Dani and Adam together in a whirlwind summer romance. Adam is immediately smitten, spoiling Dani and helping her build her clientele. However, discovering their many mutual connections is proving to be more of a curse than a blessing, especially since one of them happens to be her ex’s attractive half-brother.

The Renter is the first primary work in Serena Pier's SAGA series, wherein Dani’s love interests’ first initials compose the letters S-A-G-A. (The preceding prequel for Sorin's story is a dark romance, so it is an optional read.) After the “saga” of Dani’s love life, in the final novel, she will end up with the love of her life–and we readers will not find out who that is until the last book is written!

When I first heard about this series, I immediately thought of Sex and the City. While the storyline isn’t like SATC at all, the fact that each novel in the series is based on a different love interest reminds me of the chapters in Carrie’s love life about Mr. Big, Aiden, and others. I was invested in this storyline before I even got my hands on a copy. I can’t wait to experience each love story leading up to the final novel in which Dani will choose “the one.”

Adam is a love-bomber, lavishing Dani with gifts and expressing strong feelings right away. At first, she is caught up in the excitement of it, but she starts to become hesitant and draw back the more he tries to merge their lives into one. Although a jealous man, he doesn’t come off as toxic like most love-bombers, so even though I knew there wouldn’t be a happily-ever-after in this book, I was rooting for them as a couple. Dani deserved to be treated like a queen after how abusive her relationship with Sorin was in the prequel to this series.

I loved this first novel and plan to go back and read the prequel, The Townie. While a lot of Dani’s relationship with Sorin is recounted in The Renter, I really want to experience their relationship while I await the next installment.
