THE NEGOTIATOR BY AVERY FLYNN
Release Date: April 24, 2017
SYNOPSIS
Wanted: Personal Buffer
Often snarly, workaholic executive seeks “buffer” from annoying outside distractions AKA people. Free spirits with personal boundary issues, excessive quirks, or general squeamishness need not apply. Salary negotiable. Confidentiality required.
Workaholic billionaire Sawyer Carlyle may have joked he needed a “buffer” from their marriage-obsessed mom, but he didn’t need a waiting room filled with “candidates” to further distract him. (Thanks, bro.) But when a sexy job applicant shooes his mom and the socialite in tow out of his office, Sawyer sees the genius of the plan. And the woman. In fact, Miss Clover Lee might just get the fastest promotion in history, from buffer to fake fiancé…
This “free-spirit” might look like hot sunshine and lickable rainbows, but she negotiates like a pitbull. Before Sawyer knows what hit him, he’s agreed to give up Friday nights for reality tv, his Saturdays for flea markets (why buy junk still baffles him), his Tuesdays and Thursdays for “date nights” (aka panty-losing opportunities if he plays his cards right). And now she wants lavender bath salts and tulips delivered every Monday?
Yup, she’s just screwing with him. Good thing she’s got this non-negotiatable six-weeks-and-she’s-gone rule or Sawyer may have just met this match…

The Negotiator by Avery Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ms. Flynn lightens the mood while setting the atmosphere ablaze. The Negotiator is an opposites attract story, Sawyer is not above breaking a few rules, but free spirit Clover knows how to lay down the law. It is so much fun to watch the player get played. A seductive game of hard ball, that is amusing to watch unfold.

UNFINISHED NIGHT:THE COMPLETE DUET (CAINE & ADDISON) BY VIOLET DUKE
Release Date: April 24, 2017
SYNOPSIS
THE COMPLETE USA TODAY BESTSELLING DUET
Love, sacrifice, and the lengths one will run--and chase--when their past threatens their future. This bundled box set contains both books in Caine & Addison's bestselling duet (Bk 1: Before That Night and Bk 2: Every Night Without You).
-- BOOK 1: BEFORE THAT NIGHT--
Before that night, Addison Milan had been just a college dropout secretly raising her two young siblings in a beat-up minivan she'd bought with her first semester's tuition refund--the only money her addict mother hadn't taken off with when she'd abandoned them nearly two years ago.
Before that night, Caine Spencer had been just a rough, gruff cop sent to check out the phoned-in claims of suspected child neglect involving the same woman he'd met just months prior when she'd first served him the city's worst diner coffee...which he'd been drinking daily ever since.
Before that night, Addison would never have thought the man she'd been fighting hard not to fall for--her only friend in her new shadow of a life--would be in a position to rip her family apart.
Before that night, Caine would never have believed any woman could make him fall head over heels, let alone make him feel so damn compelled to look the other way when it came to his job.
Then that one perfect night changed everything.
-- BOOK 2: EVERY NIGHT WITHOUT YOU--
Seven years.
Seven damn years of wondering whether the woman was still alive...whether she'd spent the last two thousand five hundred fifty-five days wondering if he was still alive.
Wondering whether that night was as burned into her memory as it was his.
Seven years having his heart tethered to Addison and now she's back. With even more reasons to run than she'd had then.
Only this time, Caine isn't letting the gorgeous little flight risk out of his sight.
Regardless of how noble her reasons may be.
Note: Each of the 4 couples in the UNFINISHED LOVE series have 2 books (duets) w/ separate storylines that take place years apart. This is Caine & Addison's complete duet.

REVIEW: UNFINISHED NIGHT:THE COMPLETE DUET (CAINE & ADDISON) BY VIOLET DUKE
Unfinished Night: The Complete Duet by Violet Duke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Before That Night - Never have I read anything like Before That Night. There is no subterfuge the rawness of a life interrupted and the courageous actions of a woman at the brink of despair. Addison is a very meaty character. She leads this story like a mama bear protecting her cubs and faces unspeakable danger head on. Caine is her rock when her secrets and responsibilities become too much to bear. Caine is hardly a hero, he has his own demons to bear but for a while he becomes Addison's soft place to fall. Before That Night provides a glimpse at subjects like homelessness, alcoholism and obsession while delivering an organic story of love and hope. My one pet peeve is that I didn't get my happy ending.
Every Night Without You - Ms. Duke made some surprising reveals and gave some heartbreaking answers to the questions left unanswered in Before That Night. This time around I felt more focus being put on the mysterious stalker than the romantic liaison. With all the baggage shoveled her way, it was nice to see Addison finally get the closure and happy ending she so richly deserved.

The Bohemian and the Businessman by Katy Regnery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Time to take a stroll down Blueberry Lane. Where the characters are a bit eccentric, the men are irresistible and the women are as breathtaking as they are headstrong. How could I help but get lost in the rhapsody of these spellbinding characters? Strength of self and a wandering spirit force Shane and Priscilla together, but the music of the heart was a melodic symphony that neither saw coming. The Bohemian and The Businessman takes readers on a magical carpet ride of inner truth, maturity and the courage to risk it all in the name of love. I get a rush whenever I sit down to read a Katy Regnery novel. Ms. Regnery not only steals the spirit, but captivates the heart while seducing the soul. A pleasurably, seductive escape.

According to the law of attraction, women and men can’t be friends.
Contrary to this myth, my friendship with Coriander Phillips does not rest on unrequited love or un-actualized lust. We’ve been inseparable since the day I pulled one of her pigtails and she punched me in the gut.
She’s hilarious, fun to hang out with. Together, we’re like peanut butter and jelly, spaghetti and meatballs, wings and beer. A match made in heaven.
She’s the bomb.
Did I mention she’s smokin’ hot? I’ve checked her out…maybe once or twice. Hey, I’m a guy.
Seriously, no awkwardness, no secret yearning for our relationship to escalate beyond the purely platonic. I’m the boy friend—the loyal shoulder she cries on, the dispenser of coffee, sympathy, hugs, advice, and affection with no expectations.
Until the invisible line between friends and lovers became blurry.
Now I want more. I want her.
All I have to do is convince her we can be more than friends.
Right?

VIRGIN FOR THE TRILLIONAIRE (TAKEN BY THE TRILLIONAIRE) BY RUTH CARDELLO
Release Date: April 25, 2017
SYNOPSIS
They’re at it again! Ruth Cardello, JS Scott, and Melody Anne come together for another royal novella trilogy. This is the first novella of a three novella set. Check the dates below for release dates on the second and third novella.
Escape with three new princes as only these NYT’s bestselling authors could write them.
Virgin for the Trillionaire: Ruth Cardello (April 25, 2017)
Virgin for the Prince: J.S. Scott (June 6, 2017)
Virgin to Conquer: Melody Anne (July 3, 2017)
The wild ride begins with Virgin for the Trillionaire:
Prince Ballasare Stephan Demande needs a bride before his thirtieth birthday or he’ll lose his crown. Unlike their barbarian twin island, Rubare Virgina’s royal family is above kidnapping and murdering as a means of choosing their queens. Historically, they’ve cultivated their own selection, ensuring the purity and perfection of each. Prince Ballasare wants more, so he comes up with a plan. It’s genius really. He invites three hundred of the most beautiful and intelligent virgins from around the world to his island under the guise of attending a conference. Those who are willing to stay and participate in a series of tests are offered a chance to win one million dollars. He can only imagine the joy that the woman he chooses will feel when she discovers he and his title are the real prize.
Jessica Quincy is at a crossroads career wise. She hadn’t expected anyone to actually read her blog posts about her lonely life. She certainly hadn’t expected Virgin Territory to go viral. But who can stay a virgin forever? And what does a woman do when she’s no longer what she’s made a career out of writing about? She takes a risk, that’s what. Jessica attends a conference that promises to end with one participant winning a million dollars. Any ex-virgin could start over with that kind of money.
She makes him laugh.
He scares, infuriates, and totally turns her on.
Unfortunately, on Rubare Virgina, being chosen by a sexy prince can have deadly consequences if you haven’t updated your blog.
Like the first novella trilogy, Taken by a Trillionaire, these novellas are escapism fantasy. If you are looking for a historically accurate representation of a monarchy or a serious depiction of how royals maintain their bloodlines, neither trilogies are for you. If you love larger than life characters and fun storylines that take you to exotic places with sexy alpha men, then welcome to our imaginary kingdoms. The men are insanely rich, the traditions are potentially deadly, and the sex will leave you craving a night on this dark isle.

To Me I Wed has to be the most over the top love story that I have had the pleasure of reading, yet that is what I found so adorably intoxicating about it. When it comes to love, everyone is clueless. Love is the most frustrating, heartbreaking, irresistibly alluring emotional out there. No one understands how it works, but we all know when it feels right. K.M. Jackson scores points for originality. She created a story that is identifiable, at times certifiable, but in the end proves to an edible addiction of sweet and tempting charm.

SHOPPING FOR A CEO'S WIFE (SHOPPING FOR A BILLIONAIRE) BY JULIA KENT
Release Date: April 25, 2017
SYNOPSIS
Snowbound. Sounds so romantic, with visions of cuddling before a roaring fire, hot chocolate spiked with brandy, and a secret elopement.
Wait. What?
My fiancé’s father won’t stop trying to turn our pending wedding into a three-ring media circus so he can get free publicity for his family’s Fortune 500 company. My mother has decided she’s done with All Things Wedding and asks her teacup Chihuahua for mother-of-the-bride advice.
They’ve all gone certifiably mad.
Then the stress from the wedding puts my mother in the hospital, I scream at my future father-in-law in front of a camera crew and the video goes viral, and the romantic wedding that started with Andrew’s grand Pride and Prejudice proposal looks less like Jane Austen and more like Dostoyevsky.
So what do you do when you’re a fixer and you can’t fix something?
You give up on it.
Not on Andrew, silly.
The wedding.
Shopping for a CEO’s Wife is the 12th book in Julia Kent’s New York Times bestselling Shopping series. As Shannon and Declan enjoy their newlywed bliss, Andrew’s father wants to exploit Amanda and Andrew’s nuptials, much to Amanda’s chagrin. Can she learn to stand up to her future father-in-law and fight for what’s right? But the real question is: will Spritzy the teacup Chihuahua end up being a flower girl?

But an unexpected kiss changed everything. For two years, their relationship bloomed. She couldn't imagine her life without him. Then the unthinkable happened. Spencer broke Blue's heart.

One look into Blue's eyes was all Spencer needed to know he wanted a second chance. Fame and fortune were great. But unless he had someone to share his life, what was the point? Not just anyone. The only woman he had ever loved. Could love. Blue.
Blue could forgive Spencer.
Trusting him with her heart—again—wasn't going to be as easy.

There's an intenseness to Ms. Williams stories. She never holds anything back.

Young love is a beautiful thing, but when life challenges and human imperfections creep in, it can implode really quickly. Can Blue and Spencer learn to forgive and put their hearts on the line for a second chance?

SYNOPSIS
One night of mind-blowing, unforgettable sex. Nothing more and nothing less. I was supposed to be his next conquest. He walked right into my office like he owned it. Like he owned me. And I let him.
How embarrassing; I didn’t even know his name.
He wasn’t my type. He was arrogant, demanding, and drop-dead gorgeous. Hell, he probably spent more time working out than he spent at work. Too bad that bad boy charm was working on me.
Between two jobs, two bosses, and college I now had to deal with another alpha male in my life. At least this one was sexy in a suit... and even sexier out of one.
Billionaire’s Bargain is a full-length, smoking hot, standalone novel with a happy ever after ending and a bad boy you won’t be able to forget!

Billionaire's Bargain is my first attempt at reading an Ella Finch novel and I have to say it was an impressive experience.

Overachiever Serena is used to success, but at what cost to her self - esteem? Jake is a walking contradiction. He makes an impression with muscle bound good looks and an overpowering alpha personality, but struggles with father - son issues. Jake and Serena have a tendency of making the wrong choices for the right reasons. He wants to be her savior. She longs to be his everything.

Release Date: April 18, 2017
SYNOPSIS
A guilt-driven firefighter, a widowed mother, neither is ready for love, but love has other plans.
Firefighter Lucas Bennett had the carefree life he’d always wanted until a deadly blaze took the life of his company mate and best friend. Blaming himself was easy but pulling himself from the tailspin of guilt proved to be much harder. The fog of sadness and guilt pushed him down a dangerous path until he nearly died fighting the beast. Forced to stop and reevaluate his life, he decided to make a change before it was too late.
A fire took almost everything from Sarah Robinson—her husband and her home—leaving her to raise their precious daughter alone. Everywhere she looked held memories of her husband, pouring salt on her ever-present wound. Unable to live any longer around the memories of her husband, she and her daughter moved to Oak Grove, far away from the grief of the past. All Sarah needed was the chance to start a new life for her and her daughter.
A car accident on a dark, rainy night put Lucas and Sarah on a collision course neither of them expected… with questions they’re not ready to answer. Can a single mother open her broken heart for a second chance at love? Will a broken firefighter risk his heart for what might be his only chance at forever? Are each of them willing to take one last risk to be together? His risk. Her reward. Together, they’ll mend each other's broken hearts.
If you like small-town romance where the heroes are sexy and the women are strong, unlock One Last Risk to start your visit to Oak Grove, Pennsylvania and fall in love with Lucas and Sarah!

One Last Risk by Nancy Stopper
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
There is nothing that compares to small town romance. The deeper connections between the long time residents. The nosy neighbors that look out for one another. Big city heartache is a regular resident in small town love, but the abundance of heart never dwindles, Nancy Stopper, pushes all my buttons with One Last Risk. Lovable characters, beautiful surroundings and hard learned lessons are prevalent. Yet, she still manages to keep the feeling of devotion, hope and healing that I love so much. Sarah and Lucas are two ships set adrift in lonely waters. Grief has been a constant friend. Will a chance encounter between the firefighter and the single mom, give them a chance to start over again?

Jennifer Conner is a very talented author. Her contemporary romances are constants on my one click list. A Cup of Danger, though not as light and humorous as my normal reads by her, definitely grabs hold of your emotions. Living a life of privilege while trapped in a world of secrets and danger is not what Livia Kane signed up for. A cold husband with violent tendencies, an emotionless marriage and an attraction she is blindsided by, may just send her over the edge. Hopefully, she can survive the fall.

SUMMER AGAIN (ST. CAROLINE SERIES) BY JULIA GABRIEL
Release Date: March 29, 2017
SYNOPSIS
Book 1 in the St. Caroline Series
A sweet summer romance set on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay
A wealthy heir called back home by family duty ...
The town of St. Caroline had never felt like home to Sterling Matthew. Even though the Matthew family could date their residence back nearly a hundred years, Sterling had grown up in boarding schools—and promptly decamped for the ski slopes of Europe after college.
When his father falls ill, his mother calls him home to run the family business, the renowned Chesapeake Inn. What Sterling finds, though, is a business on shaky financial footing and a staff resistant to the radical changes he has to make. No matter. He’ll do what needs to be done … and then leave St. Caroline for good.
A woman who’s pulled herself up by the bootstraps …
For years, Lucy Wyndham wondered whether she’d ever catch another glimpse of the boy she’d crushed on at the Chesapeake Inn’s summer camp for disadvantaged kids. He’d been tall and quiet. Mysterious and aloof. And the owner’s son. Now he’s her boss and the attraction is just as strong—but they’re no more compatible today than they were as teenagers. When he informs her that the camp must be eliminated to improve the resort’s bottom line, she embarks on an ambitious campaign to save it. Even if the price is her job ... and her heart.
Summer Again was previously published as Falling for the Prodigal Son.

It's always an inspiring experience to revisit a novel. Especially when the story is one by author Julia Gabriel. She can take a reader on a journey to some of the most beautiful locations in the world while breaking their hearts and giving them hope along the way. Summer Again is a story of redemption and second chances that spans from a teenage crush to an adult attraction. Sterling has struggled with feelings of inadequacy his whole life. His family had money and history but seemed to lack time and heart, at least in his case. Lucy lost her heart to the brooding owner's son years ago, will she lose even more this time around? I love this author because she proves sweet can be irresistible.
