The Dandelion Diary

“What’s the situation with the school? How big of a deal is this?”
“There are no rules against a friendship.”
“And what if I wanted more than friendship?” He relaxed in his chair, holding my gaze for a long moment. There was desire in his eyes. In his voice. Never in my life had anyone so clearly wanted me. Certainly not Luka.
Yes, I wanted more than friendship. I wanted it so badly I ached. But…
“It’s not allowed. Not while Katy is my student.”
“All right.” He leaned forward, elbows to knees. “Friends.”
“Friends.” I forced a smile despite my sinking heart. Standing, I made my way to the entryway, every step heavy like my shoes were wading through wet concrete.
Jeff followed, taking my coat off the hook where he’d hung it earlier. Then he held it open, but instead of sliding my arms inside, I inched closer.
“What if I wanted more than friendship?” I whispered.
What if I wanted him to kiss me? Right here. Right now.
No one in the world would have to know. Just…us.
His eyes flared, his arms dropping to his sides, my coat still clutched in a hand. “Della,” he warned. “You’re shredding my willpower here. You’d better go before it snaps.”
“Then give me my coat.”
He didn’t move.
So I closed the gap between us, feeling bold for the first time in my life. He made me comfortable enough to do that. To break the rules. To throw caution to the wind and just be desired.
His scent, citrus with woodsy undertones, invaded my nose. Damn, but he smelled good.
I was seconds away from rising up on my toes and pressing a kiss to the corner of his mouth when footsteps pounded down the stairs.

Where It Begins

“You don’t want to date me.”
He cocks his head, a wry grin turning up the corner of his mouth. “I don’t?”
I shake my head. “I’m a lot to deal with on a good day, and this verbal diarrhea stuff happens more than I’d like.” I need to stop talking.
There are ten seconds left on the crosswalk. Nine. Eight…
I bite my lips together and make another terrible decision to distract Sidney and to keep myself from spewing more nonsense. I grab his tie and push up on my toes, mashing my lips against his.
For a moment, he stands there, unmoving and unresponsive. And then his palm settles on my lower back and he pulls me against him, the front of our bodies flush. His hand slides upwards, between my shoulder blades and then under my hair, gently upping the back of my head as he angles his and parts his lips.
I do the same and his tongue slides against mine.
And I completely forget that this was supposed to be a distraction tactic. I release his tie and run my hand over his firm chest and grip his shoulder. I’m still holding my coffee in the other hand, which isn’t the most convenient, but it’s half full and dropping it so I can wrap myself fully around this man is both wasteful and littering. So, I keep holding it with one hand and him with the other.
Heat slams through my veins and desire makes everything below the waist tingle. I suck his bottom lip and he makes a low sound in the back of his throat when I follow with teeth.
The sound of horns blaring and someone calling out, “Get a room!” as they pass reminds me we’re on the sidewalk, across the street from my work.
I pull away and consider running across the street, but apparently, we’ve been making out so long the light has changed again.
I open my mouth, but for once, no words come out.
“I disagree.” Sidney’s eyes are hooded, and his gaze lingers on my lips.
“With what?”
“You said I don’t want to date you. And I disagree. I would very much like to see you again.”

Stud Finder

Dylan sets a hand on my arm. “Are you trying to seduce me?”
“No,” I say quickly. Too quickly. I’m not trying to seduce him at all.
I open the door, and a perfectly modulated blast of cool air greets us. We stroll across the navy carpet to a king-size bed perfectly appointed with a gorgeous white duvet and mountains of blue velvet pillows. I gesture to it, as if I’m a saleswoman, showing it off. “Tell me. Doesn’t this bed make you want to do everything on it?”
Then, to demonstrate my point, I fall back onto it, like a snow angel.
I prop myself on my elbows and meet his eyes. His green irises darken, and his lips part. He stares at me, and something shifts. The look in his eyes is no longer challenging. He’s not asking me to prove a point. His eyes are hungry. He stares as if he’s considering my question seriously, and I realize that maybe it does sound as if I’m trying to seduce him. I’ve pushed the limits here. I’m in a hotel room, trying to prove a point to a client, and in reality, my skirt is riding up my thighs, and I’m sprawled on a pristine, inviting bed.
This kind of bed is designed not only for sleeping, but for the best kind of sex in the world—hotel sex. The kind of loud, dirty, wild sex you can have when you don’t have to make the bed in the morning.
For a flash, I see Dylan hovering over me. Pinning my wrists. Pressing his body against mine. A wave of heat washes over me, and my skin is flush, my heart slamming hard against my chest.
I want that.
I want to feel that abandon.
And that goes against my personal code of ethics as a matchmaker—thou shalt not fall for a client.
I glance down, and see my skirt is riding up. It hits mid-thigh, revealing more of my legs. I tug it, and when I look up, Dylan is staring at me with darkened eyes. “Yeah. This bed makes me want to do everything on it.

Jonah Bennett

When I looked back up, my hand on the sink behind me, I saw a ghost. Well, not a ghost, but whoa.
My eyes bulged, and my heart dropped. “You’re…”
Jonah Bennett.”
My brain clicked, and I clamped my mouth shut, two seconds from spilling and showing how much of a stalker I was.
His hotness had not dimmed at all. Jesus. This guy just got better. It was such a shitty thing for me to think, but grief made him sizzle. He had a five o’clock shadow going, and the whole angry/stricken vibe just emanated from him.
I was speechless, and I was never speechless. I always had something to say.
Might’ve been why my brain was working overtime.
God.
I wanted to have this guy’s children.
I was hungry for him.
So embarrassing.
He raised an eyebrow, watching me. He stood over me, perfect position for, you know… Here I was on my knees—and there went another staccato drumline in my lady parts. My clit was getting in on the action.
I needed a life. That was my problem.
First time leaving the state, taking time off, and here I was: about wetting myself because I was hot for a grieving guy who looked like he wanted to murder me.

💜Review💜

Dandelion Diary by Devney Perry – Katy loves her father deeply and only wants him to be happy and is more than happy to play matchmaker between him and Katy, her teacher.   From their first meeting the feelings between them are undeniable but anything between them is off limits between a teacher and a student’s father.   Let the fun begin!

Where It Begins by Helena Hunting – Skye has always been a single mother to her 15-year-old daughter Violet and Sidney is a widower who life is centered around his 17-year-old son Miller. A chance encounter at a coffee shop brings them together and the sparks fly but balancing their children and their romance is not without its challenges. 

Stud Finder by Lauren Blakely – Dylan is the sexy, successful and slightly geeky owner of a tech company who has been searching for the woman of his dreams and figures his best chance is an online ad.  Evie is best friends with Dylan’s sister who sees the ad and wants to help but that involves some practice outings and determining what exactly he is looking for in a woman but what happens if the matchmaker falls for her match?

Jonah Bennett by Tijan – Even though he was part of a mafia family that wasn’t the life he wanted until the death of his fiancé changes everything.  Carson is a forensic technician who meets Jonah on the worst day of his life.   When fate brings them together once again there is no going back despite the situation they find themselves in.

It is great to have these stories in one collection.

Why you will love this book:

💋small town

💋marriage of convenience

💋childhood rival/friends to lovers

💋single dad

I need a husband. Jensen needs a business makeover. A marriage of convenience should solve both our problems.

Moving back to Coal Haven should have been simple—start my tutoring business, settle into the historic house my grandmother left me, and move on from my past. But there’s a catch: I can’t claim the house unless I’m married.

Jensen Hollis. My childhood rival. The guy I spent years trying to outdo. The one who married our mutual friend while I watched from the sidelines. Now he’s divorced, a single dad, and—somehow—my only option.

It’s a perfect arrangement. A temporary marriage. One year with no feelings involved. At least, that was the plan… until playing house starts to feel a little too real.

He’s the cop who picked her up off the street. She’s the runaway who needed a place to stay.
Nate
Driving the streets at night, I never expected to find Harper in need of dry clothes and a place to stay.
I should have taken her to the local shelter or put her up in a motel for the night.
I should not have taken her back to my house, but I did.
I shouldn’t have touched her, but I did.
Now there is no going back, I will risk it all to keep her.
Harper
When I heard my dad’s plans for me, I made the split-second decision to run.
I had nothing more than what I could fit in my backpack.
Living on the streets, hiding from my dad, is no fun, and when I see that cop car pull up, I think it’s all over.
I wasn’t expecting Nate to give me a place to sleep and some warm food, or the way he warmed my body in more ways than one.
But my dad won’t give up, and now Nate is in his crosshairs too.

To avoid the future that her father has planned for her that she doesn’t want Harper has left and is now homeless hoping that he won’t be able to help her. When a police officer approaches her she is afraid that he will send her back to father but instead he does the opposite.

While on patrol Nate comes across Harper and realizes she is not safe on the street. Once he hears her backstory he takes her back to his home and convinces her to stay with him until she is 18 and can control her life which is only two nights. He is determined to protect and includes from himself.

A little suspense, great chemistry and a man who would do anything for the woman he loves.

Esme
The last thing I expect to find on my small Texas ranch is a Hollywood heartthrob. Add in a mishap with a cactus, some very silly pants and tabloid picture that puts me in a very compromising position. Now I’ve gone from complete obscurity to being the fake girlfriend of Abel Cartwright. The good news is my new notoriety has made my Cactus Girl brand of gourmet foods a household name. The bad news is I’m not so sure my heart is strong enough to withstand a man like Abel.

Abel
I came to this tiny Texas town to escape the noise of Hollywood. And to repair things with my twin brother.Instead, I got rescued by a feisty ranch girl with a ridiculous hat and a wicked smile. Esme Morales is the most genuine person I’ve ever met—and the one thing I can’t risk corrupting. But every time she laughs, every time she looks at me like I’m not Abel the Movie Star… I’m one step closer to giving her my heart. Even if it costs me everything.

❤️Review
To make attempts to his brother’s fiancé Abel finds himself on Esme’s ranch when he finds himself covered in prickles. When Esme comes to his rescue he is drawn to her and wants to protect her from the media frenzy that ensues when they are caught in what appears to be a private moment.

Esme is determined to ensure her family’s ranch remains viable. The last thing she thinks she needs is the attention of a famous actor even if he is the one person truly sees and appreciates the woman that she is.

Even though Esme and Abel appear to be complete opposites the feelings between them couldn’t be more real. He shows her that she is perfect just the way she is and isn’t about to let anyone or anything come between them.

Why you will love this book…

🩵small town

📚stepbrother

🩵age gap (she’s older)

📚boy obsessed

🩵forced proximity

📚she’s more dominant

🩵curvy + bisexual fmc

📚spicy lessons

🩵pegging

When I find out I could lose my bookstore, I make a deal with the devil to save it, not realizing I would end up in bed with the last person I ever thought I’d be hot and sweaty with…

Fletcher St. James

Even at twenty-four, he’s a spoiled brat. He believes the whole world owes him something, and he really needs to be put in his place.

When his wealthy, power-hunger father propositions me with something I desperately need in exchange for teaching his son a little responsibility, it’s an offer I can’t refuse.

After all, there’s nothing I enjoy more than humbling an arrogant man and bringing him to his knees.

This should be a piece of cake.

But one thing I didn’t expect was how much Fletcher would enjoy it… Or how much that would turn me on. The tension quickly boils over, and before I know it, we’re giving in to our illicit desires, consequences be damned.

I crave the feeling of his body against mine, and the needy sounds he makes right before he begs.

But more than that, I can’t get enough of the little things, like the way the golden sun looks reflecting off his green eyes in the morning, or how beautiful his vulnerability is.

And when his touch becomes my safe space, bringing out a softer side of me I’ve kept locked away for too long, it’s impossible to remember why this is wrong.

When the secrets come out about the lascivious things we indulge in behind closed doors, will it be worth it, or will this deal end up costing me everything?

Kat Mizera & Elise Faber

Release Date: August 25

She’s everything I shouldn’t want.

But that’s never stopped me before.

I didn’t become a billionaire before the age of thirty by playing it safe. I’m a risk-taker…except when it comes to matters of the heart.

Until Lily.

The pop phenom is all legs and curves, with a boisterous laugh and a wicked sense of humor—everything that drives me crazy. She drives me crazy.

But the more we butt heads, the more I crave the sound of her voice…the feel of her body against mine.

Except I’m positive she’s hiding something from me. Something big.

I let someone else keep secrets once—I won’t allow that again.

She’s mine.

And I won’t stop until she knows it.

🎤Review🎤

Atlas is a successful businessman who is always there for anyone he cares about.   When he meets Lily he can’t deny the feelings for her, but he is also unprepared for how to deal with them.   He knows that she is reluctant about letting him into her life, but he is determined to show her that she can trust him with her heart and her secrets.

At Lily is a successful musician who is trying to balance her career and her secrets.  She believes that with so many obstacles between them the best decision would be to keep him at a distance however she wasn’t prepared for his determination and charm however their demanding careers aren’t the only things they will need to overcome.

The way that Atlas reacts around Lily is both swoony and humorous while Lily was cautious which caused some turmoil but the feelings between them were never in doubt and when it really mattered he and their friends were there for her when it mattered most.

Bianca

This entire mess started when my older brother’s best friend got hired to be my bodyguard.

Colton Keller has been keeping an eye on me ever since he came to live on our ranch. The wall of muscle wrapped in mysterious darkness has spoken less than five words to me in the same amount of years.

But now that Colton’s position is official, he follows me like a reclusive shadow. I try to ditch him at every turn, but he never lets me get too far.

Just as I’m about to get more creative with my evasive maneuvers, a threat to my safety pushes him to the extreme.

Colton

I’m obsessed with my best friend’s younger sister. There’s no other way to describe my desire for Bianca Benson.

It’s another secret saddled to me.

But then her brother assigns me to watch over the reckless rodeo princess, as if I haven’t been doing that already.

What started as an obligation to protect her has grown into a necessity.

It’s the only part of her that’s mine.

At least until my past resurfaces to haunt me.

Bianca bucks my restrictive methods as complications force my hand. She wants answers that I’m not ready to share.

I’ll only surrender once she’s ready to admit the truth.

My infatuation might’ve started it, but hers will save us.

Stella

I’m the first female prospect

Fighting every day to prove myself

I love the Rebels MC

But I’ve also got a secret

One my club won’t like

He’s called Cale Callaghan

Detective Callaghan

A thorn in the MC’s side

The cop my club loves to hate

He’s also someone I can’t fall for

But when he looks at me with those pretty eyes

I forget how to breathe

Even if I can’t have him — it won’t stop me

The club has their rules

But what they don’t know is…

Some rules were meant to be broken

Cale

It wasn’t supposed to go this way

Of course, I knew who she was

The woman who haunts my dreams

The very reason I can’t loathe the Rebels MC fully

Because Stella is their new prospect

If that isn’t bad enough, the MC hates me

And the feeling is mutual

But then there’s the raven haired beauty

I know I should stay away

But our fates are intertwined

And when our pasts collide

It all changes in the blink of an eye

Everything could be stripped away

But I know in my heart that whatever happens

I will always choose her

Stella is mine

The men of the NOLA Rebels MC will do anything for their club. They’re a brotherhood, a club who stands mighty, and above all else, they take care of business, New Orleans style.

The bikers may rule this city, but the women of the club have their hearts, and the men will do anything to protect what’s theirs.

It is part of a series, but can be read stand-alone with a HEA. This book is recommended for mature readers.

🏍️Review🏍️
The biggest obstacle standing in the way of Stella becoming a member of the MC is the fact that she is female. She is determined to become a prospect anyway and now she faces a bigger challenge which are the strong feelings she has for Cale, who always seems to find himself on the opposite side of the MC.

Cale is a member of law enforcement which makes him a foe of the MC rather than a friend. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have feelings for Stella so finding out she is about to become a prospect only makes a relationship between them that much more forbidden and undeniable.

Action, surprises and a love that can’t be denied. Stella is feisty and determined to go after what she wants which and Cale proves that she can count on him when it it really matters.

I never expected to see Willow Anson again—not after the way she left.

No warning. No goodbye. No explanation.

She was the girl who got under my skin.

The one who kissed me like she meant it… and disappeared like none of it mattered. I’ve spent every day since convincing myself it didn’t.

Now she’s back in Rixton, staying at her family’s lodge while her dad recovers from surgery. And thanks to our parents’ surprise wedding, we’re stuck under the same roof.

She’s off-limits. My new stepsister. But the way she looks at me says she remembers everything.

And the tension between us? It’s anything but frozen.

I’ve trained my whole life to handle pressure—on and off the ice. The last thing I need is a distraction in the middle of a season that’s already falling apart.

Games are being thrown. Players are faking injuries. And Willow’s holding on to the photos that could expose everything.

They’re watching. Threatening. Waiting for us to slip.

But I’m not just playing defense anymore.

I’m fighting for the truth. For my team.

And for the girl I never stopped wanting.

Willow wants to be there for her father while he recovers from surgery however the one complication that she hadn’t factored in was that her new stepbrother is the same man she spent one unforgettable night with and hasn’t had any contact with since.

Kade hasn’t forgotten Willow and the night they spent together especially when the aftermath felt unresolved. Her unexpected appearance in his life has him facing not only the unresolved feelings between them but also the challenges he is facing professionally.

This was a great introduction to a new series that allows us to not only spend time with Willow and Kade but with other members of the team as well. Intrigue, romance and humor all combine and leave us wanting more stories set around this team.

HERO EVER AFTER

Kait Nolan

Release Date: August 22

I never meant to be anyone’s heroine.

Not when I became the acting mayor of my hometown after the flood. Not when I kept my law practice afloat out of a booth in my grandmother’s diner. And definitely not when my secret romantasy novels went viral.

Nobody in Gibson Hollow knows I’m the author behind the pen name. And nobody was supposed to kiss me at that book convention—least of all my brother’s best friend, cosplaying the hero he doesn’t know I modeled after him.

Now Ramsey Shaw is back in town. Volunteering. Smiling at me like I’m not on the verge of shattering. Like he remembers the kiss. Like he sees the truth.

I’ve spent my whole life being strong. Quiet. In control. But for the first time, I don’t want to be any of those things.
I just want to be his.

In a town held together by hope and heart, it’s the people who show up that make it shine.

Kait Nolan is a USA Today best selling, RITA® Award-winning Mississippi author who calls everyone sugar, honey, or darlin’, and can wield a ‘Bless your heart’ like a Snuggie or a saber, depending on requirements. She believes in love, laughter, and that tacos are the world’s most perfect food. When she’s not writing, reading, or wrangling family (both the two-legged and the four-), you can find her obsessively watching The Great British Bake Off.
