UNTIL WE'RE MORE (FIGHTING FOR HER) BY CINDI MADSEN

 

 

 

Release Date: August 27, 2018

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Chelsea is smart, funny, gorgeous, and the best friend I’ve ever had. Ever since she left, I’ve been a wreck. I’ve been focused on keeping my family’s MMA gym afloat while I train and coach fighters, anything to not miss her more. But now she's finally back, along with her grumpy, possessive cat, and things are weird between us. 

By weird, I mean I can’t stop thinking about her in that way. She’s in the room next door, and it takes all my control not to storm in there, sweep her up, and bring her back to my bed. Even stranger, I’m pretty sure she’d be into it. 

And this time, I’m not going to stop fighting until we’re more.

REVIEWUNTIL WE'RE MORE (FIGHTING FOR HER) BY CINDI MADSEN

 

Until We're MoreUntil We're More by Cindi Madsen

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Until We're More has a great formula for figuring out the mechanics of love. When dealing with heartbreak stay active, keep alert and if given the chance try to make things right. With an arrogantly aggressive cat, a determined ex and a suitcase full of untended baggage Cindi Madsen sets about making you smile while tempting your heart. Liam and Chelsea are hard to resist, but I'm sorry to say in my opinion were upstaged by a cat. It's hard not to love that.

BILLIONAIRE UNCHALLENGED: CARTER ( THE BILLIONAIRE'S OBSESSION) BY J. S. SCOTT

 

 

Release Date: August 28, 2018

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

I hate alpha men with an attitude. Or at least I did...until I literally ran into Carter Lawson one day. He obviously likes control, which automatically made me want to watch him completely lose it. Not only is he alpha to the point of obnoxiousness, but he's also a billionaire, one of the three brothers who owns one of the largest technology companies in the world. 

In other words, Carter Lawson and I have absolutely nothing in common except the sexual chemistry that burns white-hot every single time we see each other. 

Maybe I should be running--no, sprinting--away from him. After all, he's left a trail of heartache in his wake. 

But Carter Lawson isn't all that he seems to be on the surface. 

I want to crack him like an egg to see what's inside. 

Sometimes, it might be better not to tweak the tiger's tail. 

Problem is...I happen to have a fondness for big cats, even though they're dangerous. 

I just didn't count on Carter turning the tables on me once he'd rocked my world in one amazing night of pleasure that was going to leave me craving so much more.

Billionaire Unchallenged: Carter (The Billionaire's Obsession #13)Billionaire Unchallenged: Carter by J.S. Scott

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Brynn and Carter are perfectly imperfect. They know how to put on a show for the world, but not how to be true to themselves. Billionaire Unchallenged is a masquerade. A hiding of the heart's desires, but a feast of sensual delight. Scott takes us beyond the jerk that tried to break up Jett and Ruby. Carter is full of love to give, yet afraid to let anyone get too close. Brynn wants to be happy, but is afraid of what that means. From the first eye link to the ensuing heartache, Carter and Brynn had me hooked on falling in love. J. S. Scott is not afraid of showing that in love, we have to expose ourselves to the pain in order to get to a happy ending.

Big Talking Man (Kings of Castle Beach, #2)

 

 

BIG TALKING MAN (KINGS OF CASTLE BEACH) BY MARQUITA VALENTINE

 

 

 

Release Date: August 28, 2018

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

I, Quinn King, do solemnly swear that I’m not the least bit attracted to my brother’s best friend, all around pain in my tail, and sexiest man alive, Tate Prescott… anymore.

He’s a big shot actor turned director out in L.A. and spends his days sweet-talking actresses right out of their Agent Provocateur Lingerie… or so the tabloids say.

Apparently he’s run out of playmates, because Tate’s returned home under the guise of giving back to our community by filming his next blockbuster here in Castle Beach. The salon that I own is busier than ever because of it, too.

What the women around here don’t realize is that Tate is the love them and leave them type. But I haven’t forgotten and I refuse to be the girl who wastes her time on him.

Then one day on my way to work, my car breaks down and who ends up rescuing me, but Tate himself. Before I can say thanks but no thanks, he’s demanding to be repaid with a date. Then one date turns into two, then three and…

... I might be addicted to his kisses, his washboard abs, and… well, you get the picture.

Now everyone thinks we’re a couple. 
Worse, I think we’re a couple.

In the end, though, Tate will go back to L.A., no matter what he promises... just like he did before, because he's nothing but a big talking man.

Big Talking Man (Kings of Castle Beach, #2)Big Talking Man by Marquita Valentine

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A picture is worth a thousand words, but that picture isn't always a beautiful one. How is it that Ms. Valentine can break a heart in one breath and piece it back together in the next? Tate and Quinn are love at it's purest and it's most heartbreaking. Brought together by love, torn apart part by grief and given a second chance by hope. Big Talking Man is a complicated story that thrives on an abundance of emotion. What once was pure becomes unbearable after tragedy enters the equation. Now it's up to these lovebirds to stay the course or go their separate ways. With a hint at another precious love and a devotion that quickly envelops Marquita Valentine continues to be a must have on my bookshelf.

SYNOPSIS

 

Hot fling or real thing? There are no Big Easy answers in New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Erin Nicholas’s sultry series.

 

As far as flings go, single dad Gabe Trahan is pretty sure that Addison Sloan is his best bet. Once a month, Addison comes to New Orleans and then…It. Is. On. Until Addison returns to New York, it’s just hot, happily-no-strings-attached sex. And beignets. And jazz. But lately for Gabe, it isn’t nearly enough.

 

Sure, maybe Addison’s gotten a bit hooked on Gabe. After all, who can resist a guy who’s so sexy, so charming, and so…available? But maybe he’s too available for her right now. Addison’s just moved to New Orleans, and relationships are definitely off the table. Besides, guys always bail when they learn her secret: she’s a single mom.

 

Only Gabe’s not running. Worse, he’s thrilled. But Addison never signed up for ever-after romance, and Gabe won’t settle for anything less. Now it’s a battle of wills—and when it comes to the woman he’s falling for, Gabe isn’t above playing a little dirty.

SYNOPSIS

 

From New York Times bestselling author SHANNON STACEY

Meet the tough, dedicated men of BOSTON FIRE—and the women who turn their lives upside down




When faced with the opportunity to change shifts while staying in the same house, veteran firefighter Derek Gilman jumps at the chance. His new schedule means not working Saturdays, which means more time to spend with his two kids. His divorce may have been amicable, but being a firefighter and a single dad is a lot to juggle. And when fate brings a gorgeous, wealthy woman into his life, he’s pretty sure he can’t handle more than he already is.

Olivia McGovern loves plans. She planned to start her own business and planned its growth. It’s earning her seven figures now, but her personal life simply doesn’t exist. Getting trapped in a broken elevator figures in exactly nowhere, and freaking out in front of a sexy firefighter definitely isn’t on the agenda. Especially not one with two kids and an ex.

What would have been a random incident with an attractive stranger becomes something more when a charity event brings them back together. They’re from different sides of the tracks, literally—with friends, family and careers to consider. But as Derek and Olivia are discovering, chemistry doesn’t allow for plans, and love doesn’t bother with logistics. 

Don’t miss the entire Boston Fire series by Shannon Stacey! Heat Exchange, Controlled Burn, Fully Ignited and Hot Response are available now!

Finian Kelley and Tate Jennings met at a wedding…
…but that doesn’t mean they had romance in mind.

Since meeting Finian Kelley at a wedding last fall, where they agreed to be physical with no strings attached, Tate Jennings can’t get him out of her head.

SYNOPSIS

 

Hawaiian rancher Alex Kahale needs a temporary wife to close a deal that’s vital to the welfare of his herd. Thankfully, he’s already married to a woman stole his heart in less than a week, even if that same wife filed for divorce a few days after they said their “I dos.”

Rising country music star Britney Moore had a wild fling with a cowboy in Las Vegas a year ago which ended in a drunken drive-through marriage. Once she returned to Nashville, she filed for divorce to save her squeaky clean image. Besides, spontaneous marriages never last, and she knows better than to risk her heart on Alex. But no matter how many requests she sends him, he refuses to sign the papers. Then he sends her an intriguing offer. Come to his ranch on Kauai and pretend to be his wife for two weeks for business purposes, and he’ll sign the papers.

As much as Britney tries to resist his charm, Alex manages to tear down her defenses one by one until she falls for him all over again. But when the press finds out about her secret husband, will their revived romance be killed by the tabloids?

BLAZING HOT (CALIFORNIAN WILDFIRE FIGHTERS) by LESLIE NORTH

 

 

 

Release Date: August 20, 2018

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Rugged loner Landon Brenner has a problem and she’s beautiful, intelligent, and he’s falling for her—fast. Injured while fighting the fire threatening the small town of Cedar Springs, and haunted by past failures that drive him to get back to the action despite his injuries, Landon reluctantly agrees to take a room in the house of the sexy nurse who treated him while he was in the hospital. Their attraction is combustible, and the more time they spend together, the more Landon finds himself yearning for more than just a temporary fling. 

It’s hard not to fall for a guy who likes to go around saving everything in his path—from small animals to people—but Alexandra Appleby is determined to resist Landon’s many charms. He’s too much like her late husband Henry, a cop who died in the line of duty. She doesn’t need another hero in her life. A man around who rushes into danger without thinking twice. And she sure as heck doesn’t want to fall in love with a man whose bravery could kill him—and leave her heartbroken. She’s got her job and she’s perfectly content to spend the rest of her days alone. But Alex can’t help thinking that maybe, just maybe, Landon is worth putting her heart on the line. 

As the fire creeps ever closer to Cedar Springs, will Landon and Alex put aside their fears—and the past—to find a way into each other’s hearts?

REVIEWALL THE WAY (ROMANCING MANHATTAN) BY KRISTEN PROBY

 

All the Way (Romancing Manhattan, #1)All the Way by Kristen Proby

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


It's at our weakest that we find the strength to become the strongest. Proby has remained a favorite of mine, because she's not afraid to go beyond the laughter and delve into the heartache. All The Way dares to be bold. Is not afraid to be sensitive. Will walk away with more than just a little piece of heart. There's a risk to opening yourself up to life. From joyful memories to heartbreaking goodbyes the experiences far outweigh the fear. London and Finn are survivors. Out of tragedy emerges a second chance for three strangers determined to face their fears in order to find their happy ending.

REWRITE THE STARS BY JULIEANN DOVE

 

 

 

Release Date: August 23, 2018

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

For ten summers Claire and her mother had been guests at the Prescott’s beach house at Kelly’s Cove. And for ten years she played with Mallory and her twin brother, Colin. But it wasn’t until she returned after college graduation for her last summer there, that she realized Colin had grown into a guy who made her knees knock just by smiling at her. Being from different worlds, she knew nothing would come from her attraction to him.

Having returned to the states from studying abroad for four years, the last person Colin thought he’d find staying in his bedroom was Claire Ashton. Lanky and awkward during her adolescent years, he had to look twice to make sure this was the same girl. After a week together it was obvious he’d overlooked something before, because he felt things for her he’d never experienced before. There was only one problem—his last name and all that came with it would never permit him to be with her. 

In the end, it’s either love or prestige that will win in the game of love.
