A.K. Evans is a contemporary romance author of over forty published novels. While she enjoys writing a good romantic suspense novel, Andrea’s favorite books to write have been her extreme sports romances. That might have something to do with the fact that she, along with her husband and two sons, can’t get enough of extreme sports.
Before becoming a writer, Andrea did a brief stint in the insurance and financial services industry and managed her husband’s performance automotive business. That love of extreme sports? She used to drive race cars!
When Andrea isn’t writing, she can be found homeschooling her two sons, doing yoga, snowboarding, reading, or traveling with her family. She and her husband are currently taking road trips throughout the country to visit all 50 states with their boys.
Harlow has focused all her attention on ensuring the success of her beauty salon which didn’t give her much time to pursue a personal life. She has decided that it needs to change however her first match on the dating site was a failure until Blaze comes to her rescue.
Blaze is a member of Harper Security who sees that Harlow is feeling uncomfortable, so he steps in. The feelings they have for each other are undeniable and a relationship begins to develop between them When someone seems to be targeting the team they need to know who it is and why before property damage escalates into something much more dire.
I enjoyed the slower pace of their romance as they got to know each other, and Blaze is thoughtful when it comes to ensuring the time they spend together Is special. The suspense part of the story is unexpected which only makes it more entertaining.

Left for dead . . .
Days after the attack, Elizabeth emerges from a coma, but she is irrevocably changed. Compelled to find her attacker and find justice, she travels down a dark path that forces her to choose between love and her obsession–not just for herself, but other survivors.
Justice or vengeance…
Forced to choose between obsession and love, Elizabeth doggedly pursues justice for the victims of other crimes, while her attacker remains at large. Until finally she gets a call with the news she’s been waiting twelve years for.
But what Elizabeth learns could tear her life apart…
1. Develop an obsession for his best friend’s sister. 2. Agree to let her be his new roommate. 3. Kiss her.
Hello I’m Emerson Knight and I’m an idiot.
I try to stay away from Gianna Damiano I really do. But between crop tops and fiery glares I can’t get her off my mind. One fake date changes everything and I cannot deny I want my hands on every one of my new roommates delicious curves. One night keeps turning into one more. And suddenly I’m lying to my best friend.
I’m the man known for his fake out, but I’m only kidding myself because the way she’s stealing my heart feels very real.
Well, let me tell you something. I was born for island living.
I like to drink, smoke my cigars, and sleep under my favorite hat.
That’s my idea of a good time.
Island living isn’t for everyone, especially the guys at OPS.
You would think as former military that I would fit right in.
But unlike them, I don’t take great pleasure in rescuing the girl, taking out baddies, or saving the world.
That’s not what Island Time is about.
All I need is a woman in my bed and a drink in my hand.
I just didn’t realize what I was getting myself into when I brought this particular woman home.
Fista…Whista? Nah, that’s not right. I’ll remember her name one of these days.
Names aren’t really important.
But her scent…I would go to church if it meant knowing what that amazing smell was.
Granted, I’d probably turn to ash the moment I stepped through the doors, but it was a risk I was willing to take.
For her.
Just as long as I still get my Island Time.
A man doesn’t change overnight, and there’s no way I’m up island living for a woman. Not even if she said she doesn’t want me anymore.
How much longer can I hold out?
It’s been five days …And A Wake-Up.
🔥Review🔥
If Max had his way his life would be all play and no work but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t enjoy being part of the Owens Protective Services Team. When his life collides with Christa, he thinks she will be like every woman before her but before he knows what happens she has him breaking all his rules.
Christa comes from a religious family and has just ended the engagement that her parents wanted for her. She needs to rebel, and it all begins with a night with Max that will have her taking a deep look at her choices and where she goes from here.
The camaraderie between the team was fun, the banter is humorous and the chaos that surrounds this team is what makes this series so enjoyable.
I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.
My mind has a billion thoughts racing through it. Was this hottie lawyer really flirting with me? And had he really just hired me? Was I now gainfully employed? Did I want to be gainfully employed by him?
Max Spector looks like bad news with his big teasing blue eyes, dark hair, and power navy blue suit. The man is the sort of handsome that has your panties off before you can say panties. He’s so handsome that I would trade in my practical Hanes bikini panties for slinky thongs. But only for one night. I’d make him rip it off me with only his teeth. The very thought of Max’s mouth against my ass is turning me on, far more than it should be.
“Sorry, what did you say?” I blink as I gaze at this expectant expression. I’ve completely forgotten what he just said because my mind was in the gutter. Maybe working for him was not going to be a good idea.
“Shall I show you to my office, so we can get ready for the meetings of the day?” His voice is smooth as whiskey and I shiver slightly at the knowing look in his eyes as he slowing bites down on his lip. Is this man a mindreader? Did he know that i was just this moment imagine his teeth in my asscheeks. “Lila?” He prompts and I nod quickly.
Get your mind straight, Lila Haversham!
“Of course, I’d love to get straight to work, but don’t I have to fill out some paperwork first?” I peer up at him, a sweet innocent smile on my face. I am not going to let this guy know I’m taking mental snapshots to think about tonight when I go to bed.
“You can do it on your lunch break. I’ll have HR bring the requisite forms to my office.”
“Doesn’t seem like much of a lunch break if I’m filling out W2’s.” I tilt my head to the side. “Also, I don’t even know my salary.”

💫Review💫 Even though it’s been 14 years the traumatic event that Evie experienced when she was a teenager still haunts her. With the help of her uncle, she has tried to move forward with her life but when she needs to change the therapist she has been seeing it will bring Lincoln, his daughter and her past into her life.
Lincoln is a therapist who has recently moved to town with his daughter Lucy. When Evie doesn’t require him to be his therapist it allows them to pursue a personal relationship however the situation between them is complicated. As the feelings between them escalate so does the intrigue part of the story and both are sure to keep you guessing.
This is an entertaining story that will draw you and have you invested from beginning to end. The characters of Evie, Lincoln and Lucy are captivating, and I enjoyed every page of seeing the events and their relationship unfold.
From USA Today Bestselling author, Alex Grayson, comes a dark, spicey Tarzan retelling…
I went into the wilderness in search of the person the town calls Wild Man.
Living on his own since he was a small boy, he raised himself.
When I found him, it wasn’t the experience I expected. He wasn’t what I expected.
A savage, more animal than man. Pure instinct was how he survived.
With his hand wrapped around my throat, he said only one word.
“Mine.”
Then he took me to his tree hut and wouldn’t let me go. He kept me naked and tied me to him with a rope. He was an anchor around me while I slept. He fed me by hand and forced me to bathe him.
Those are the tamer things he did. The others were much more… explicit.
I didn’t want to be there. I didn’t want his touch, although my body called me a liar.
He’s a primitive uncaged animal who claims I’m his, and he’s hellbent on getting me pregnant.
No matter how much I fight him, he’ll never let me leave. I was his and he’d do anything to keep me.
Maybe in the end, he’ll make me just as wild as him.
And it’ll be me who won’t let him go.

The only thing I admire more than the old farmhouse next door is the guy who owns it. My best friend’s brother.
I didn’t mean to give my hot neighbor a full peep show when my puppy locks me outside in nothing but a towel. Yet Austen Knight pretends he didn’t see everything and offers me an interior design job—help him renovate the farmhouse I’ve adored since I was a kid.
I’m a single mom trying to run a business in a small town. I can’t be alone with Austen day in and day out without igniting rumors that could hurt the career I’ve worked so hard for. But I need the money, and he’s leaving after the house is done and goes on the market.
Turns out, renovating with him is fun. Working with him is addicting. And I look forward to our cold beer together after a long day. When works turns to pleasure, I should put a stop to what we’re doing, it’s not professional, but I can’t.
Austen reignites something in me that I left behind long ago. He’s become so much more than my friend’s brother and my neighbor, but he’s going to be gone soon. Guys always leave in the end. I’ll be a struggling single mom again, and he’ll be nothing but a fearless memory.
A single dad, small town romance with a grumpy CEO and the sweet as pie nanny. From dynamo writing twins Mackenzy Fox and Dakotah Fox.
That rainy night, when my wife walked out, changed my life forever.
Not just mine.
Our daughter’s too.
All of a sudden, I was a single dad with a newborn.
Nothing could’ve prepared me for the years that followed.
The heartache and answers to questions that never came.
After a while I thought I could be the bachelor forever.
It blocked the pain, ensuring nobody got too close.
My heart was safe.
And it worked.
At least a while.
Until Skye Hendry came to Stoney Creek.
The sister of my childhood best friend, Travis. They moved away when we were young.
But now she’s back, she’s the talk of town. And when we meet… fireworks go off.
I’m attracted to her instantly, before I even realize who she is.
I want her. Badly.
But she’s off limits.
Not only is she smart, beautiful and a ray of sunshine, she’s also my new nanny.
Can I really have her as my nanny when I can’t stop thinking about what I want to do to her?
Trying to juggle work at the family distillery, and raising my daughter has never been easy, but having Skye around makes my cold heart soften. She does things to me that no other woman has been able to do in so long. She makes me feel alive. And she’s amazing with my daughter.
But I can’t show her how I really feel, not when she has another job offer after the summer.
Then she’ll be gone. Forever.
No matter how much I crave her, I know I won’t survive the fallout.
The shards of my heart would be shattered forever. Clawing my way back isn’t an option.
Not this time.
But neither is letting her go…
The Bassett Brothers Bourbon Distillery; Stoney Creek’s very own pride and joy, and the heart and soul of a small town Tennessee family business.
I didn’t wake up one day and decide to be a Disney princess, but for the last six months, I’ve been living the dream. Of course, that dream includes screaming little girls at birthday parties every weekend. At least there’s cake.
When my roommate offers to cover my share of the rent if I work her friend’s little girl’s party, I don’t hesitate. Only she forgets to mention a few things. Like that I would love the birthday girl the moment I met her. Or that the man who let me down seven years ago would crash the party. And she definitely didn’t say anything about the jerk single father who just happens to be the hottest man on the planet.
Paxton Foster is nowhere close to being Prince Charming. But he sure does spend a lot of time rescuing me.
Paxton
No amount of money could make up for the mistakes of my past, but I’ve been trying. And then Brooke stormed into my life like a Category 5 hurricane, turning everything in my world upside down. Yet suddenly, it seems right side up for the first time.
There are a billion reasons why I can’t have her. I have secrets. She’s far too young. And then there’s the small matter of her hating my best friend. But she is exactly what my daughter and I need, and I’ll do whatever I have to in order to keep her. With Brooke, I feel as if I can finally find redemption.

Ricky Dunn is the equivalent to a splinter under my fingernail.
Romantic?
Right.
He’s the older brother of my best friend, and no matter how hard either of us try, we can’t seem to avoid each other. The problem started on the night my best friend and I graduated from high school. The party was joyous, a celebration.
That night, I willingly gave Ricky a part of me—more than the kiss we told others about.
Our deal was simple.
No strings.
Ricky kept his side of the bargain.
Years have passed.
Being from the same small town and crossing paths, I haven’t noticed how handsome he’s become or the way he’s filled out.
If you ask me, he hasn’t noticed me either.
Until he calls.
I’m working for a finance company, one he’s now interviewing for.
“Marilyn, will you be my date for the dinner with the partners? It’s only for one date and no strings.”
The problem is my heart hasn’t kept my side of our bargain.
I want at least one string.
Do I agree to his proposal, or do I turn him down flat?
