AN
ALL-NEW STANDALONE FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR JULIA KENT
I never
thought my perp walk would lead to true love.
Then again,
I never thought I’d be arrested on RICO charges and hauled away in zip ties on
camera for the world to see, minutes after closing the most amazing deal of my
career.
And all of
it in front of my biggest rival, billionaire wunderkind Ian McRory.
I am broke.
I am
disgraced.
I am alone.
I am a
sucker.
But the
worst part? I have to go back to my hometown and live in my bedroom filled with
relics from my childhood.
Lisa Frank
never made me so mad before.
Just when I
needed a rescue, I got one — in the form of help from my biggest rival.
He can’t
bring back my money.
He
certainly can’t bring back my reputation or my pride.
But there’s
one thing he can bring back to me.
A sense of
hope.
Maybe even
love.
Ian sees
something in me no one else does, and he’s relentless about making me see it,
too. As we grow closer, I’m starting to see that while my entire life used to
be a lie, the truth is staring me in the present — and it’s a truth I like
very, very much, hot eyes and gorgeous smile and all.
But I have
to be careful.
I can’t be
too —
That’s
right.
Hasty.
The final
book in the USA Today bestselling Do-Over Series (Fluffy, Perky, Feisty), as
Mallory’s sister, Hastings “Hasty” Monahan gets her turn at a happily
ever after that starts off with an arrest.
Hers.

Asking For Trouble, an all-new small town romance from USA Today bestselling author Amy Andrews, is available now!

94690370_10221880167103360_57540711951630336_o

After three years in Credence trying to fade into the background, Della Munroe is sick of being invisible. She’s ready to take back control. To live a little. Hell, she’s ready to see what this dating fuss is all about. And if that means she has to download Tinder and date every guy in Colorado, then she’s up for it.

After her first disastrous attempt, she decides navigating online dating would be better with a wingman, and there’s no better person for it than Tucker Daniels. After all, he is a man. And he owns a bar, which practically makes him a relationship expert. He’s also her older brother’s best friend. Yes, she may have the teeniest tiny inconvenient crush on him, but he’s always had her back.

Tucker Daniels would rather eat broken glass than watch Della go out with a bunch of douchebag dudes only out for one thing. Unfortunately, he’s never been able to say no to her, and before he knows it, Tucker’s not only vetting her dates—he’s teaching her to drive, helping her move out, and buying her a puppy!

But when Della wants him to tutor her in more intimate arts, he freaks out. Because this little sister is strictly off-limits, and saying yes to Della is asking for a whole lot of trouble.

💙Review💙

Della’s escape from a painful home life led to an even more devastating marriage and divorce until she was rescued by Arlo, her brother. She has spent the last three years trying to heal and she believes that she is reading to start living again and that means allowing a man into her life.

Tucker is her brother’s best friend and he has noticed the changes that Della has undergone since her brother first brought her home. He isn’t about to let her venture into the world of dating without some guidance but after some less than stellar dates she decides that she wants Tucker to become her teacher when it comes to physical intimacy.

I really enjoyed these two together as Tucker was supportive as he understood both the effect her past had on her life but also encouraged her need for independence and watching Della gain confidence and strength was fun to see. Not only are Della and Tucker great characters but there is a great group of secondary characters that leave us wanting more stories set in this town.

Logan
After watching my friends all get coupled up and blissfully happy, I vowed that it would never be me. Being with one woman – and only one woman – was enough to make me sick. I’d get bored.
I was a cocky fucker and that’s how I planned on staying…
Playing the field suited me right and I wasn’t going to give that up for anything. Football and women were all that I knew and that was how it was going to stay.
Until she came along…
Meghan came into my life and turned it on its axis. She was feisty, had the right amount of sass and didn’t take any of my cockiness to heart. Having her in my life shouldn’t have been as much hard work as it was turning out to be but when I was with her…
It all felt right; even though it should feel wrong.
Meghan
I had no time for men. They were a waste of time and energy and were only good for one thing.
The last man that I had let into my life had made me learn that lesson. After being made a mother, I was taught that I could only rely on one person. Myself. There was no prince charming; only a prince for the night.
Logan was a player. That was obvious. I had vowed to stay as far away as I could from players but when I saw him with my baby girl, I wanted him to be my prince charming. One night was never going to be enough with him…
Logan West wasn’t a perfect love. He was a rough love that would leave you torn to pieces when he left.

Womanizer. Player.
We all know them. And sometimes, we’ve loved one.

My first mistake was to trust the rocker with a charming smile. My second, believing he’d never hurt me.

My final mistake will not be to repeat steps one and two.

People change as they mature. They live, and they learn. Emery? He’s not one of those people.
He tells me that he needs me, and I wish I could say I didn’t feel the same.
Problem is, I’m also one of those people who never change. But I do learn …

And I know that the worst mistake I could make wouldn’t be to repeat the past.
It would be to let him go.

Review

Emery is a Rockstar who may be a success professionally but the same can’t be said for his personal life. A decade earlier he made a choice that destroyed the one relationship that meant the most to him and he has regretted it ever since. He numbs his pain by immersing himself in the Rockstar lifestyle which includes excessive alcohol and women.

Alice is a musician as well but she has not found the same success that Emery has enjoyed but that doesn’t mean she is ready to give up her dream. Instead she does everything she can to change her course but reuniting with the man who broke her heart could either be the best thing to happen to her or the worst.

This story takes you on an emotional journey about love, healing and second chances between two people who are both damaged by their pasts.

Blurb:
Have you ever hit rock bottom?

I embarrassingly have.

It’s why I’m wearing my girl’s decorative scarf over my head, clutching her lady drink to my chest, and singing ever so softly to Joni Mitchell while swaying back and forth.

This is what therapists refer to as LOSING IT.

Oldest story in the book: boy meets girl, boy falls for girl, boy screws up MASSIVELY, girl tells boy to suffocate in the fruits of his very own unborn children.

Heard it before? I’m sure you have.

So what’s so different about this story? Well, it’s about me, The Modern Gentleman, New York City’s top advice columnist, and my rather ungraceful downfall from my pristinely polished pedestal

It’s about a girl I met who threw all my proven theories to the wind and left me awkward, needy, and absolutely head-over-wingtipped shoes in love.

This is a story about June Lacy and how she single-handedly dismantled The Modern Gentleman.

The Best Mistake
Cookie O’Gorman
Publication date: April 23rd 2020
Genres: New Adult, Romance, Sports

Honor Tierney just wants one night with the playboy.

One hot, steamy, meaningless hookup, and then she’ll happily go back to reading her favorite books, studying to be an accountant and writing for the campus-paper-nobody-reads. Too bad she ends up in the wrong bed, with the wrong brother…who gives her the hottest night of her life.

Archer O’Brien just wants to play ball.

Well that, and for his brothers to stop acting out, so he won’t have to worry 24/7. As the oldest O’Brien and team captain, it’s his duty to make sure they don’t drink too much, party too much, or get in too much trouble. But when she walks into his bedroom—mistaking him for his brother—life throws him a curveball.

She’s determined to guard her heart. He’s not giving up.

And when Honor gets assigned to cover the Wolves baseball team, it’s game on.

This new adult sports romance features one hot (and hilarious) case of mistaken identity and a sexy set of brothers guaranteed to make you swoon.

Sometimes, the best mistakes are worth making.

Goodreads / Amazon

EXCERPT:

A sudden feeling drew my attention to the other side of the room. I couldn’t really explain it. It was hot like electricity, something magnetic. My eyes searched for the source of that strange pull—and clashed with gray.

My breath caught.

It was like looking into the heart of a storm, intense, powerful. I hadn’t gone up in flames for any of the others, but this guy… Well, this O’Brien who was staring at me—devouring me—with those unusual gray eyes, wearing a frown like he never smiled, a stare so focused I thought he might be memorizing every move I made? Or reading my mind?

“Wow,” I said, voice nothing but a shaky exhale.

This guy caused a slow burn inside me. I wanted to run. Either to him or away, I wasn’t sure. But as his eyes traveled the length of my body, all the way down to my shoes, and back up again to meet my gaze, everything inside me turned to wildfire. I licked my lips, thighs clenching together instinctively.

His frown deepened, jaw tight.

And that made him seem even sexier.

Review

Honor is more comfortable with books rather than men but she has decided that it is time for her to experience the social side of college and that begins with a one night stand the only problem is that she ends up in the room of his brother rather than the man she had chosen. Archer is a natural born protector whether it comes to his family or to his team so when he realizes Honor’s mistake they both want to forget the embarrassment of that night that sometimes there is a bigger plan.

When her position at the college paper throws them together once again there is no denying the chemistry and connection between them but with their very different feelings when it comes to romantic love will they be able to find their happy ever after?

Sweet and sexy not only were Honor and Archer perfect together as what started out as a mistake was the best thing to happen to either one of them.

Hooked On You

by Cathryn Fox
Publication Date: April 27, 2020
Genres: Entangled: Amara, Contemporary, Romantic Comedy

SYNOPSIS

Hooked on You is a sweet treat read that will give you all the good feels!”USA Today and WSJ bestselling author Avery Flynn

I’m a bookworm, a mathematician, not the kind of girl a hot lobster fisherman would notice.

Until he did.

I’m not in small town Nova Scotia to hook up. I’m here to settle my grandmother’s estate and sell the B&B, which I soon discover has been overrun with seasonal fisherman and operated on the honor system. The hard-core fishing folks become an instant family––the one I never had. Then there’s the blind pet cow, who has a crush on my hot fisherman, Nate. Okay, technically he’s not mine. I have no desire to get reeled in.

Until I do.

Soon, the little town grows on me, and the fisherman? It’s not long until I take the bait and we’re playing house at the B&B. Things are looking up.

Until they aren’t.

Rumors about a new plant and jobs being in jeopardy start swirling around town like a nor’easter, and all the signs point to my guy being behind the scandal. Should I give him enough line to play it out and learn his true intentions, or cut and run before I’m hooked?

ABOUT CATHRYN FOX

Review

After the death of her Grandmother Kira finds herself in Nova Scotia to sell the Bed & Breakfast that she owned. She is a woman who is more comfortable with facts and figures rather than people but when she arrives and finds that a group of fisherman continue to live in and look after her Grandmother’s home she finds something she never expected to find and that is a sense of belonging.

Nate is working as a fisherman but that isn’t the only reason that he is town. He becomes Kira’s white knight when he rescues her from an errant horse and she is not disappointed when she finds out that he is one of the men staying at the Bed & Breakfast.

When they both came to town they expected it was only supposed to be temporary but they may just find out that in each other and the town they may have found a place to call home. This is a heartwarming story filled with heat, humor and quirky secondary characters.

 

 
“Hard pass.”




That’s what the last girl I slept with said when she got her first sober glimpse of me. She laughed, walked out of my penthouse—and I never saw her again. It doesn’t matter that I’m a rich, professional athlete; what mattered was my face. 



 

 

Beauty might only be skin deep for some—but I know better.

 

 

 

 

“Pay up.” 

 

 

 

 

That’s what the last girl I spoke to said over the phone when I made her an offer she couldn’t refuse. Desperate to sell a set of rare baseball cards, she’s clever and entertaining. I’m instantly smitten, but nowhere ready to reveal myself. Thank god she has no idea who I am—or what I look like.

 

 
I’m a professional athlete–how hard can playing the love game be?

The Billionaire’s Fake Fiancée by Annika Martin

Release Date: April 28th

TBFF_ebook_amazon_kobo_ibooks.jpg

The Billionaire’s Fake Fiancée, a sexy romantic comedy by New York Times bestselling author Annika Martin.

I’m no Prince Charming, and the last thing I want is a Cinderella.

My instructions were simple: scour the city for a fake fiancée who’s not my type at all. Have her on my jet Monday morning, dressed appropriately for a yacht vacation.

I need a woman believable enough to convince a certain client that I’ve changed my playboy ways…yet nothing like the supermodels and socialites I usually have on my arm.

Somebody too annoying to tempt me—no emotional entanglements, thank you very much. This is business only.

If she’s unfazed by my looks and wealth, all the better.

Should be easy. Right?

Apparently not, because my people go and hire Tabitha. My hairdresser.

What were they thinking? Yes, I said annoying, but I didn’t mean her, the most frustrating woman in the world.

Tabitha is sunshiny. She has a pet hamster. She loves Hello Kitty, and she gets under my skin like nobody else.

As if that’s not bad enough, the minute we step on deck, she thinks that certain people on the yacht are up to something shady—based completely on her soap opera knowledge.

She won’t listen when I tell her she’s being ridiculous.

But as the days go by, I find that we’re actually having fun. And our fake kisses are heating up. And suddenly her wild theories aren’t sounding so strange after all…

Excerpt:

“We need a practice kiss.”

My gaze falls to her lips and my mind goes blank. “Did you not read the contract?” I bite out. “This relationship is to be purely platonic.”

“Oh, I know. And before you think I’m jonesing to kiss you, please know, I’m just trying to do a professional job at this, and the kiss is important. Because I can tell you right now, when people do the fake engagement ploy and get busted, it’s often because they’re forced to do a first kiss in front of suspicious people. Everybody can tell a first kiss.”

“Have you been involved in other fake engagement situations?” I ask.

“No, but, you know, it’s a thing. Trust me.”

“It’s a thing?” I ask, incredulous.

“Well, on soap operas,” she adds.

I groan. “Jesus Christ, save me from your ridiculous soap opera wisdom.”

“What? There is a lot of life wisdom in soap operas.”

I give her a hard look.

“And the fact is, with people who have never kissed, there’s a lot of trepidation. They’re like, How do I start off? Where do I put my hands? Which way should I tilt my head?”

“Those are not questions that would cross my mind during a kiss. Ever.”

“Please. Spare me from the knowledge of what crosses your mind when you kiss a woman,” she says. “I’m just telling you, people aren’t stupid. They’re capable of recognizing a first kiss. We need at least one practice round. Unfortunately.”

I swallow. Somewhere down on Wall Street, trading is in full swing. I have rates to check, reports to analyze, spreads to monitor, but the idea of pulling her to me and kissing her crowds all of that out. My hands flex.

A practice kiss. I can’t think of a worse idea. “We’re not a couple who enjoys public displays of affection.”

She does her playful wince. “Okay, buuuuuut…what happens when they toast our engagement? We can’t exactly shake hands.”

Will people do that? Gather around and expect us to kiss in front of them? I focus on the window. The whole idea here was not to be tempted or distracted.

“If I decide we need a practice kiss,” I inform her, “then and only then will we have a practice kiss. And I’ll do the kissing.”

“It has to be more than a peck,” she says. “Just in case that’s what you’re imagining.”

“Rest assured, a kiss from me would be the opposite of a peck.”

“The opposite of a peck,” she echoes, as though she finds it funny.

“The polar opposite.” My gaze has gone back to her lips. They’d taste like some sort of sugary berry. Her dark hair would be thick and cool in my grip, her ass soft and firm. My mind won’t stop spinning on kissing her, now.

“I’m trying to help you pull this off,” she says. “Think of the times you’ve had a first kiss. The wild rush of it. The buzz of it. It’ll be so obvious.”

I frown. Who the hell has she been sharing these mind-altering first kisses with?

“Don’t worry, I get this is business,” she says. “You’re not at all the type of guy I go for, either.”

“No? Do tell—what type of guy do you go for?”

“For one, he would scoff at the idea of a private jet. And he would never wear or even possess cufflinks. Or if he did, there’d be a string attached to the cufflinks because he would’ve made them into an awesome toy for little Seymour. That would be a guy for me.”

“Sounds like a loser,” I growl.

Review

Rex may have his good points which is that he is sexy, single and successful but he has a crabby and arrogant side that can be off putting to others. When his personal reputation is affecting a business deal he wants to close he needs a fake fiancée but he needs to ensure that she is someone that wouldn’t tempt him at all and that is where Tabitha enters the picture.

Tabitha is his hairdresser and his complete opposite. She is the eternal optimists who sees the good in everyone and everything, not to mention that she is also brash and quirky and not the type that Rex would be attracted to at all.
Pretending to be together is a test in patience for both of them but doing it in a location where they can’t get away from each other makes it even that much more fun. As they spend time together they may just realize the only people they are fooling is themselves.

What a fun story this turned out to be. Two very different people find themselves on a collision course that is filled with heat, humor and heart.
