SO WICKED (BAD BEHAVIOR) BY MELISSA MARINO
Release Date: May 7, 2017
SYNOPSIS
Fate has a wicked sense of humor.
Alexis's new life was made up of two things: baking and hiding the details of her old life in Chicago. The first allowed her to finally find some happiness. And the second is about to be destroyed by a man who knows all her secrets.
Marshall Rawlins was prepared to do anything when he moved cross-country to launch an upscale cocktail bar---anything except work with Alexis, his best friend and business partner's ex-wife. Adding Alexis's boozy-baked goods to his menu would be a major feat for his bar. But striking a deal means getting in bed with the enemy.
Battling between distrust and desire, Alexis and Marshall give in to a passionate, forbidden affair. They know if they're discovered the consequences would be bad---it's just hard to remember that when being together feels so, so good.

Confessions of a Former Puck Bunny by Cindi Madsen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
With spot on comedic timing, the perfect amount of youthful angst and delectably adorable first person delivery, Ms. Madsen did what she set out to do.

Seeking to break a bad habit, Lindsey swears off hockey players and their humongous egos. And men. Until a smart, funny and sexy guy crosses her path. Ryder is the man of her dreams, but can she break her own rules and open her heart to the one type of man, she's sworn off?

Crazy for You by Rina Gray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
There is a fine line between being overly preachy and informative. With Crazy for You, Ms. Gray expertly toes that line with issues and characters that are easy to relate to and fall for. Characters like Charlotte are created to inspire, entertain and deliver a message. Happiness resides in loving and accepting the things in ourselves, that can not be changed. Jake was a temptation, but the way he motivated Charlotte and encouraged her to accept herself, made him a winner in my eyes. Rina Gray floats just below the radar in order to raise the bar a tad higher with every story she writes.

Going In Deep by Carly Phillips
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Bruised by life and their own bad choices they needed a wake up call. Instead they found each other. Ms. Phillips certainly knows how to put the moves on a heart. She informs, entertains and doesn't pull any punches in this story of second chances. Kendall and Julian found each other at their darkest moments. Lies, manipulation and heartbreak ensued. After years of darkness, that one moment forced them into the light and changed two broken people in a positive way. Can time, distance and positivity, give them a chance at happiness? Going In Deep, is a triumphant testament of what the power of love can do. In the most tragic of circumstances it has the power to heal. Kendall and Julian are my favorite Billionaire romance to date.

Fall in love at Bayside, where sandy beaches, good friends, and true love come together in the sweet small towns of Cape Cod.
In Bayside Desires…
As the co-owner of Bayside Resorts, Rick Savage has a fabulous job working with his best friends and brother, and a thriving business in Washington, DC, which he’ll be returning to at the end of the summer. Spending time with his family is great, but being back on Cape Cod has unearthed painful memories. When sweet, smart, and overly cautious Desiree Cleary moves in next door, Rick is drawn to the sexy preschool teacher, and she just might prove to be the perfect distraction.
Running an art gallery was not in preschool teacher Desiree Cleary’s plans, but after being tricked into coming to her impetuous, unreliable mother’s aid, she’s stuck spending the summer with the badass half sister she barely knows and a misbehaving dog. If that’s not frustrating enough, she can’t escape the sparks igniting with her strikingly handsome and pushy neighbor, Rick, who makes all her warning bells go off.
Passion ignites as Desiree and Rick spend long summer nights sharing heartfelt confessions and steamy kisses. For the first time in years Rick is enjoying life again instead of hiding behind mounds of work miles away from his family. Desiree has touched him in a way that makes him want to slow down.

Bayside Desires by Melissa Foster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Rick Savage proves that you can have it all, yet still feel empty inside. Between crossover characters, light hearted banter, meaty storytelling and new characters, I get to know and love, Ms. Foster is on the right tract with the Bayside Summers series. Bayside Desires is the first book in the series and it marks the beginning of something special. Rick and Desiree have had their fair share of painful moments. Abandonment issues, disappointment and loneliness have left Desiree with a heavy heart. For Rick, a tragic loss has left him with a bruised soul and a battered heart. There are moments where the Kleenex will prove to be a readers best friend and there are also instances where humor flows freely again. All these little pieces merge into a challenging and rewarding work of art.

REVIEW: TEMPTING KATE (WILD WEDDING NIGHTS) BY JENNIFER SNOW
Tempting Kate by Jennifer Snow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
For Kate, image is everything. Just ask her quickly tanking career and her equally broken heart. A broken engagement has her life spiraling out of control. Can a Hollywood power couple save her rep as a wedding planner or will she end up risking more than her business? Tempting Kate takes it's cues from cinematic gold and creates a highly entertaining romantic comedy. Love, laughter and hopefully happily ever after. I could not ask for more.

Your Alluring Love by Layla Hagen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Big, Boisterous and Bold are the perfect adjectives to describe the captivating Bennett clan. They play hard, love hard and care deeply for each other. That's the definition of what family should be and Ms. Hagen successfully centers every story around that foundation. Your Alluring Love is Alice's turn up to bat. For her it's always been one man that held a place in her heart. Nate has been friend, crush and dream man for most of her adult life. Can he change his wandering ways enough for them to explore what's in their hearts? Each Bennett novel is better than the one before and I am excited that Ms. Hagen has more of these dynamic characters, waiting to be explored.
