I swore off men the second I trusted the wrong guy and ended up pregnant by a wealthy playboy. I was ready to prove I didn’t need him—or anyone else.⁣⁣

At least, until Malaki Young, Chicago’s hottest pro hockey star, slid into the backseat of my car and proved me wrong.⁣⁣

He’s relentless on and off the ice. Especially when it comes to pursuing me. Not to mention his charming smirk and annoyingly smooth one-liners have me testing the ice and unthawing every boundary I swore I’d never cross again.

But my ex is out for revenge… and Malaki makes an offer I never saw coming: 𝙖 𝙛𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩.⁣⁣

One oversized diamond. One perfectly fabricated love story. One mission: convince the world—and my revenge-driven ex—that this single mom just landed one of Chicago’s most sought-after bachelors.⁣⁣

Malaki swears it’s just pretend. But the deeper we get, the harder it is to tell where the lies end and we begin. And I can’t help wondering how long before the ice beneath us gives way.

Tatum “Edge” Beckett wasn’t just the Redline Kings VP—he was their secret weapon. A lethal arms specialist with a smile like sin and eyes that promised pain. But the moment Callie Winslow landed in his path, Edge found the one thing he couldn’t afford to lose.

She never meant to draw his attention, but a stumble into his bike sealed her fate. And when his enemies want to use Callie against him, Edge will prove why everyone fears his name.

About

❤️Review
When Callie’s visions of her future differed from her parents she moved to town and is working at her aunt’s bookstore. While bicycling home from work she accidently crashes into a Harley and is expected to feel the wrath of the owner not for him to want to take her on a date.

From the moment that Edge saw Callie he was smitten and know that she is meant to be his. The only obstacle standing in their way is the danger of his lifestyle but when the threats escalate she proves she is his equal in every way.

The chemistry between Callie and Edge was fiery and I really enjoyed how protective both he and the other members of the MC were and the way the women accepted her as one of their own.

Blurb:

Ever since my twin sister was murdered and I blamed my best friend, my life has been nothing but an epic downward spiral.

Once a swimmer for the most prestigious West Coast college, I never in a million years thought I’d end up here.

Abandoned. Locked up. Alone.

In a moment of weakness, I call the guy who was more of a brother to me than anything, the guy I betrayed.

Shockingly, he flies cross country to bail me out. But he isn’t alone.

In tow is his new swim coach—a whistle-blowing tyrant who makes me crave pushing every button he’s ever had and tossing his list of rules into the bottom of his coveted pool.

But I can’t because now he’s my coach too.

It’s Coach Resch and the team who hates me or a four-by-four cell.

So off to Westbrook I go to serve my sentence like the good boy I’ll never be.

Coach thinks he can handle me, but he’s never met my particular brand of wild.

EXCERPT

 

Weariness settles in my bones and I sigh. I’m just so tired of pretending. It’s not too much to ask. I wanted to go somewhere to escape the reputation of our last name for a while. Where nobody knows me. But now, I’m trapped on a plane with my brother’s best friend and he won’t even speak to me.

I don’t know what it is about Colton that grates on my nerves. Maybe it’s the fact I can never get a reaction from him. At this point, I just want to see him falter.

“I’m horny.” My voice is a purr as I sprawl out on the couch. “Let’s join the Mile High Club.”

Colton’s blue eyes clash into mine. Static crackles between us as he watches me. He’s completely still. I’m not sure if he’s even breathing.

Laughter bursts free from my successful strategy. “Oh, that’s what it takes? You’re totally busted, Cowboy.”

The heat in his smolder fizzles into a glare. “Brat.”

I recoil. “Excuse you?”

Colton’s nostrils flare from a heavy exhale. “You’re a spoiled brat, Princess.”

Fire smacks my cheeks. “And you’re a rude asshole.”

He shrugs. “Just doin’ my job.”

My jaw drops. This is the most he’s talked to me in the five years I’ve known him. I’m not sure where to go from here.

“You could be a bit more understanding,” I mutter.

“That’s not what I’m getting paid for.”

“Ohhhhh,” I breathe. “This is all about money. Got it.”

His jaw clenches. “No, this is about keeping you safe.”

“I don’t need you to protect me.”

“That’s not your decision.” His smug expression sends a hot spike of irritation through me.

My eyes abandon his unwavering focus for the sake of my pride. “It’s probably best if we don’t talk anymore.”

Colton braces his inked arms along the back of the sofa. “I give it two minutes. Max.”

I clamp my lips tight to prove him wrong, but the tickle in my throat is prepared to do the opposite.

This is going to be a long-ass trip.

She was my son’s ex. The one woman I had no business wanting. And the only one I couldn’t stop thinking about.

Cooper
She was never mine to want.
She was my son’s girl.
Off-limits. Untouchable.
And still, every time Riley walks into a room, my world stops.
She’s older now. Stronger. And still the only woman who’s ever made me forget every rule I swore I’d follow.
Second chances don’t come easy, not when you’re the villain in your son’s story and the hero in hers.
But maybe it’s my turn to rewrite the ending.

Riley
He’s supposed to be off-limits.
Older. My ex’s dad.
And fresh out of prison.
But the way Cooper looks at me? Like he sees through every wall I’ve built?
That’s the kind of dangerous I’ve never been strong enough to resist.
I should walk away.
But what if he’s not the mistake?
What if he’s the second chance I didn’t know I needed?

❤️Review
Trying to do the right thing resulted in a prison sentence for Cooper however he has served his time and has recently returned to Mustang Mountain. What he has been through has changed him and he wants to help the community by opening a gym to help youth not repeat his mistakes but not everyone is willing to give him a second chance and that includes his son.

Riley appreciates the price that Cooper paid to help her, but the situation is complicated as he is also the father of her ex. She has feelings for him and when suspicious things begin happening in town she is determined to prove his innocence to the town and her ex.

Cooper’s reluctance to be with Riley is understandable as not only does he want to protect her, but he doesn’t want to fracture his relationship with his son any further. I enjoyed seeing their relationship develop as well as the healing with all the other relationships in his life.

WORST NANNY EVER

Angela Casella

Release Date: September 12

Meet Angela Casella:

Angela Casella lives in Asheville, North Carolina in an almost-one-hundred-year-old house with her daughter, two dogs, and an ever-changing number of fish. She worked as a developmental editor for years, both as a freelancer and at Random House in NYC before she started writing (inspired by her friend and frequent co-author Denise Grover Swank!). Now, it’s become an addiction, and she’d rather not be cured, thank you very much. 

She comes from a loud Italian American family, so she basically has a phD in bickering…er…banter.

Blurb:

She’s horribly unqualified…and everything they both need.

Travis

The last time I saw my ex-fling, she was toasting her engagement to a record producer. So when I heard she’d had a baby, I assumed he was the father…until she showed up at my house seven years later with a little boy and said, “Your turn.”

I’m a musician. My life is already loud and chaotic enough, and it’s definitely not kid-friendly. But I was raised by a nanny, and I see no harm in finding one for my son.

Too bad he rejects every single person I hire.

The only person he actually likes? Not a nanny. She’s a friend of a friend and the former floor manager at a brewery. But she has just enough childcare experience that I offer her the job out of desperation…and instantly regret it.

Hannah is a bossy, opinionated, loud-mouthed hurricane of a woman who tests my patience, my sanity, and my number one rule: don’t fall for the nanny.

Hannah

Let the record show, I am not a professional nanny. I did, however, raise my little brother, so I know my way around a juice box and a tantrum. Which is more than Travis can say.

My new boss is uptight, obsessive, and needs more help than his kid does.

I was determined to pop in, whip things into shape, and leave, but the more I get to know them, the more I want to stay…

**A standalone romcom in the Babes of Brewing series of interconnected standalones**

Note: There are TWO different versions of this romcom:

1) A spicy open door version with some strong language and sex scenes

2) A closed door version with mild language and only kissing.

Please choose the version that’s best for you!

🔥Review🔥
When Travis finds out that he has a seven-year-old son Ollie that he never knew about the one thing he does know is he needs help. He enjoys his structured lifestyle so he isn’t sure that Hannah is the nanny that he and his son need however he can’t deny the way that she connects and understands Ollie.

Due to recent events Hannah finds herself at a crossroads in her life professionally. She may not have experience as a nanny but due to her family situation she can relate to what he is feeling, and she is determined to make the transition easier for both father and son.

This story manages to combine delightful characters, humorous banter and all the feels as Hannah disrupts Travis’s life in the best way and is exactly who Travis and Ollie need in their life.

Blurb:

He’s lost all control, and only she can soothe his savage beast, until the day she decides to give up that power.

Mik Volkov used to be the Wolf Tzar, now he doesn’t even know who or what he is.

He can’t shift from his wolf form, and the beast rules his mind, looking for vengeance and violence.

The only thing keeping him sane is his obsession with the woman who smells like ripe peaches and lust.

Key Cross always thought it would be fun to be a psychic, until a wolf bit her and she was cursed with visions she can’t control. She wants nothing to do with shifters, until a grumpy wolf who shifts into a hot, naked man whenever she touches him, comes marking his territory by peeing a circle around her.

She belongs to no man or wolf, but they both have a chance to break their curses, and live a normal, boring life again, if they can work together to do the bidding of the Goddess of the Moon. She seems to be doing her very best to play matchmaker with their hearts.

And then came the dragons…

Filthy Wolf continues the adventures of the curvy girls who are more than they seem, and the wolf-shifters who have a thing for marking, claiming, and mating the women who heal their souls. Ahroo!

It also introduces and crosses over into the Dragons Love Curves series for fans of Aidy’s whole supernatural world!
