MOST LIKELY TO SCORE BY LAUREN BLAKELY
Release Date: January 8, 2018
SYNOPSIS
A sexy new forbidden romance from #1 NYT Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely about a sports star and the woman who's off limits...
It should have been a simple play…
She needed a football player to step up and be the star for a charity calendar. I needed a sharp and savvy publicist to manage a brand-new sponsorship deal. I scratched her back. She scratched mine. And oh hell, did Jillian ever drag her nails down my back on one hell of a hot night. Okay fine, it was several hot nights on the road.
Now we’re back in town and it’s time to set the play clock back to when we were simply player and publicist. Given the way the last few years have gone, I can’t risk this deal, so it's hands off for us once again. Trouble is, I want more than than just another night with her.
What’s a guy to do when he's always been most likely to score, but the woman he’s falling for is just out of bounds?
I don't date players.
And I definitely don't sleep with players.
And I absolutely don't fall for a certain player when I get to know him and learn he's more than just sexy -- he's clever, funny and has a heart as big as his . .. well, you get my drift.
But my job is at stake, and I can't afford to lose that as well as my heart. The problem is, I think I've already lost that game.
What's a girl to do when the clock is running out, but the man she's falling for is off limits?

As Rashid works to woo Mila, a simple seduction suddenly seems like something more. But can she ever trust the sinful sheikh, or will Mila always worry that Rashid is only playing games with her heart?

MAN CANDY (REAL LOVE) BY JESSICA LEMMON
Release Date: January 9, 2018
SYNOPSIS
Dax: After spending the summer buried up to my eyeballs in my family’s affairs, I’m ready for a break. The kind of break where I can spend two solid weeks camping and fishing in the company of absolutely no one. Then I find myself directly in the path of a drop-dead gorgeous tornado by the name of Becca Stone. Who can resist a night with a damsel in distress? Especially when she happens to be a leggy blonde? The last thing I expect is for Becca to show up on my cabin doorstep the next night, shivering in the rain and ready for seconds.
Becca: One minute I’m admiring the rock-hard jaw of the Magic Mike lookalike who walks into my bar, and the next I’m getting fired by my own brother. Loudly. In front of everyone. Luckily Dax Vaughn is a gentleman who aims his white-hot smile at me. Oh, it’s on. Wham, bam, thank you ma’am. Then a torrential storm washes out the main road and causes a massive power outage, giving us two whole weeks to enjoy each other’s company. At which point Dax will go back home, leaving “us” in the rearview mirror. That’s the plan. Or it was . . . until I started falling for him.

Man Candy by Jessica Lemmon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
It's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game. Jessica Lemmon gets that and that's what makes her stories so precious. She fights for the underdog and that's a role we all can relate to. In love, in life and heart, we've all walked a mile in those shoes. Becca is the ultimate long shot. She has a sweet heart, but is a bit clueless when it comes to life. As her world is falling apart, she manages to fall in love, with the one man who can either bring her to her knees or make all her dreams come true. Dax is no hero. He's just a man with a lot on his plate and no room in his heart. Can a loner and a free spirit find love in the middle of nowhere? Man Candy is an addiction that will live on long after the last page is devoured.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The worst kept secret has become the best guilty pleasure. Morgan and Patrick were a match twelve years in the making. The younger sister and the brother's best friend may have taken the long way, but they caught up pretty quickly. Naughty meets nice and delivers sweet. K.A. Linde has teased an attraction between these two from the very beginning. It was fun to hear their journey in their own words.

Bayside Passions by Melissa Foster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The beauty of Melissa Foster as an author is that readers get to experience the many sides of her personality through the stories she tells. The Bayside Summers series is less intense, but no less riveting. Dean and Emery are a breath of fresh air with their flirty banter and budding friendship. However, Bayside Passions is a Melissa Foster novel. Underneath the breeze lies a few gusts. There will be patches of rain that will darken the canvas, but in the end the storm clouds make it worth the ride.

SYNOPSIS
After too many years being overlooked by men, Carol is ready to take action. She wants a man, and she knows which man she wants. Her brother’s best friend, Patrick Stevenson.

Carol isn’t good at flirting. Or seduction. Or anything that requires putting herself out there. But she’s going to make sure Patrick sees her as a desirable woman—and one he wants for more than one night—even if it turns her whole world upside down. He already likes her a lot. He just needs to open his eyes to how good they’d be together.

REVIEW: SEDUCING HER BROTHER'S BEST FRIEND (TEA FOR TWO) BY NOELLE ADAMS
Seducing Her Brother's Best Friend by Noelle Adams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Noelle Adams is romance gold. She proves that love is not always in your face sex appeal. Seduction does not have to be raunchy, it can be a subtle merging of the minds and hearts. Carol and Patrick are one of the best examples of romance. Love was a gradual progression, that neither saw coming, until it was too late to overlook. There is no perfect time to fall in love and no perfect person to fall in love with. Love is accepting a person for who they are not who we want them to be. Seducing Her Brother's Best Friend is a flawless look at what love is. Sweet, sinful and flawed, but no less life-changing.
