FORGETTING JACK COOPER (THE STUNTMAN EDITION) BY ERIN MCCARTHY
Release Date: October 16, 2017
SYNOPSIS
If there’s one thing Toni Salvatore knows how to do, it’s make people laugh. Having embarked on a life of comedy back in college playing pranks with current Hollywood star Jack Cooper, she’s now a YouTuber with her own passionate following. Too bad her newest joke—a fake on-set kiss with Jack—results in an epic case of mistaken identity…and with Toni getting flattened by Jack’s stunt man and body double. What’s a girl to do but make the best of a bad situation?
Chance Ashton takes everything seriously—he’s had to, because of his past. Then he mistakenly drops the hilarious and hot Toni to the ground in what he thought was an action scene, and he’s so flustered he lets her kiss him after all. The results? More explosive than anything he’s experienced filming movies. When Toni seems to be interested in more than a fast laugh, he knows better than to believe her…and yet…
For the first time in her life, Toni’s pratfalled herself into what could just be a real romance. But can she convince the sexy stunt man she’s capable of more than just a joke?

REVIEW: FORGETTING JACK COOPER (THE STUNTMAN EDITION) BY ERIN MCCARTHY
Forgetting Jack Cooper: The Stuntman Edition by Erin McCarthy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Erin McCarthy is known for her haunting stories of intriguing romance and breathtaking deception, but sometimes it's fun to explore another side to the equation. Forgetting Jack Cooper shows a lightness to the author, readers don't always see. A chance to step back from the ledge and bask in the sunshine. Chance and Toni bring on the charm as they wipe away the shadows and let the humor pour in.

NSFW BY PIPER LAWSON
Release Date: October 16, 2017
SYNOPSIS
Being bad never felt so good...
The office is full of rules. Everything is off-limits. Making a charity calendar of the sexy guys on your floor? Not allowed. Shrinking your boss' underwear when he sends it for dry-cleaning? Can't do that either.
But those things keep the natural balance. See, Avery Banks, our resident rising star, is a shark. The tall, blond, and gorgeous kind with zero patience and even less forgiveness.
Good thing I'm the Mae West of executive assistants. I live to put grown men in their place.
He wasn't supposed to find out...
Now he's made it his personal vendetta to screw me the way I screwed him. I'm at his beck and call, 24/7, for every humiliating, meaningless request.
Until we stumble on a new game. One we both want to play. One we both need to win.
And once we start...I'm not sure Avery wants to replace me.
I'm not sure I want him to.
All I want is more of this. The fire under the ice. What happens behind closed doors.
It's twisted, and so damn hot. But he's my boss. And with the company coming off a scandal even I couldn't engineer? What we're doing is strictly NSFW.
Lucky for me, Avery and I have one thing in common...
We both suck at following the rules.
NSFW is a full-length standalone sexy contemporary romance. It's the story of Charlie and Avery (from PLAY) - so if you love this one, pick that up too. Your pre-ordered copy of NSFW contains exclusive bonus content not available elsewhere!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
NSFW by Piper Lawson
Proceed with caution. Ms. Lawson knows what it means to deliver the burn. Just ask Avery and Charlie. NSFW is deliciously naughty with it's tempting battle of the sexes and it's hilariously entertaining characters. War is on the agenda. The winner is anyone guess, but the battle is as seductive as it gets.

SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED (KINDLE WORLDS: IMPERFECT LOVE) BY MIRA GIBSON
Release Date: October 16, 2017
SYNOPSIS
American heartthrob and notorious bad boy, Zach Canning has gone and made the error of all Hollywood errors. No, it wasn’t sticking his foot in his mouth during an interview again, banging an almost underage fan, or even disappearing on another cocaine-and-booze addled bender. It was far, far worse, and now his TV show renewal contract hinges upon his ability to convince his fan base, the Christian Network, and America at large that he’s just as wholesome as his #Blessed character.
Jesus Christ, how?
Enter Abby Gallagher. As Irish-Catholic as they come, complete with flaming auburn hair and a cross dangling from her necklace, her image is perfect. She’s guarding one hell of a secret, however—she’s a virgin and saving herself for marriage.
When Zach’s publicist approaches her with the most unbelievable proposition—to dispel rumors surrounding the famous actor one sexy date at a time—Abby is more than intrigued. She’s been a fan of his show and has watched religiously… admittedly, a guilty pleasure.
What other guilty pleasures could he give her???
But the secret contract she’s presented with not only states she must pose as his girlfriend in the public eye while the paparazzi follow their every move. She must also elope with Zach in two weeks! Non-negotiable, legally binding, with a corresponding gag-order in place and no guarantee of true love…
Can she go through with it? Will she choose a thrill ride instead of love? What if she could have both with the same man?

Arranged is the poster child for flirtatiously, funny romance. Ms. Flowers made humor the main character and Jensen and Ireland willing supporters. Well meaning parents with marriage on the brain are never a good thing.

LIAR (KINDLE WORLDS: IMPERFECT LOVE) BY STEPHANIE ST. KLAIRE
Release Date: October 17, 2017
SYNOPSIS
Fake it until you make it. That was the mantra Cori Dash chanted as she chased a big city dream. The more you tell people you’re on top of the world, the more they believe it – just like they believed the embellished image she sold them with her knock off designer facade. It wasn’t lying if the truth stood somewhere in the middle – and she didn’t get caught.
Dominic Blackthorne owned half of that big city…and a reputation. Rather than dispel rumors or show the world the real Nick, he let his own fake image run free. Until Cori Dash – the only person who told him exactly how it was, even if it stung.
When Cori is faced with her ex-fiance, now engaged to her ex-best friend, it’s game on. In her boldest move yet, she concocts her biggest lie to date by introducing the first handsome stranger that walks by as her new fiancé. Happy to play the part, Nick is already planning the fake wedding of her dreams.
You know what they say about lying – the truth always comes out – and it hurts. Especially when Cori finds out she isn’t the biggest Liar in this game, and she’s been out played.

Liar by Stephanie St. Klaire
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Is the facade more important than the person underneath? Liar is a true gem. Ms. St. Klaire uses humor and heart to deliver a message of powerful self - worth. We all have struggles to face, but obstacles have a way of destroying how we view ourselves. The truth has a tendency to get lost in the shuffle. Dominic and Cori are not perfect, they're human and both author and characters use that as a stepping stone to encourage living our own truths. Inspiration can be found in the most unexpected of places. Liar is evidence of that.

NOT HER (KINDLE WORLDS: IMPERFECT LOVE) BY JULIA BRIGHT
Release Date: October 17, 2017
SYNOPSIS
Jason Delany Baxter-Scott…the fifth. What a terrible name to have to live up to. There is no question in his mind that he’ll never live up to his parents’ expectations. Baxter, as he is known to his friends, is trying, but when his fiancée dumps him, he has less than an hour to find someone to stand in to meet his demanding mother and father. He knew Heather in college, and she recently sent a note, saying she’d moved to New York. It was a dick move, but he invited her for drinks, only to introduce her to his parents as his fiancée.
Heather is still the same free-spirited woman who challenged him to be his own man in California. She’s nothing like the women his parents’ think he should marry, and that makes her forbidden fruit. He admires her for standing up for herself and never backing down. She’s got spunk and a whole lot more that turns him on and leaves him wanting.
Heather Burke doesn’t put up with BS. She’s worked hard to develop a clothing line that sells in her own high-end boutiques. Her style may be quirky, but she’s business savvy and worldly. When Baxter contacts her, she’s in for a drink or two, but when she arrives, and his parents think she’s the fiancée, the night is turned on its end. Baxter told her story after story about how horrible his parents were so she can’t abandon him, but going along in this ruse may just be the end of her.
Back in California, she lost her heart to Baxter, and this fake fiancée stuff may just take her mind too. When he’s not bowing to his parents’ pressure, Baxter is a decent guy, someone she could see herself with for the rest of her life. She just has to convince Baxter he doesn’t need their approval to be a good man.
When the stakes get high, they both are challenged. Can Heather walk away from Baxter, or will she stay and teach him to fight for himself?

Not Her by Julia Bright
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
It takes great courage to remain true to one's self, when the odds are stacked against you and there's no faith coming from anybody else. Not Her is a journey toward self respect. It's riddled with wise words, heartbreaking moments and empowering main characters. That's what makes strong minded Heather a great role model for women. She never listens to the naysayers in the world and for that she inspires not just her fictional cast mates but she uplifts readers as well.

Through his connection with Leah--and the unbelievable journey she takes him on--Josh soon learns that miracles can happen to anyone--especially at Christmastime...

REVIEW: CHRISTMAS MIRACLES - HOLIDAY BOXED SET (COLOR OF HEAVEN) BY JULIANNE MACLEAN
Christmas Miracles: A Color of Heaven Boxed Set for the Holidays by Julianne MacLean
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The appeal of the Color of Heaven series is the realism, humanity and the hope that is poured into every tale. The message is pure, powerful and insightful. Christmas Miracles is a boxed set consisting of two of my favorite stories. A little slice of heaven that enlightens and inspires all year round. A count your blessings experience.
The Color of a Christmas Season - Life is about the unexpected. It's not about the materials gained but the wisdom acquired on our trip. The people we meet along the way are the surprises and the memories we make are the treasures.
The Color of a Christmas Miracle - The ability to put trust in the unknown is how I would sum up faith. Hope is the expectation of something happening. Claire had hope but was lacking in the faith department. She allowed her want for what she didn't have to overshadow the blessings she had. Everything happens for a reason. The most precious gifts are ones a person has to work the hardest to obtain. Those are the most appreciated.

Unloved, a love story by Katy Regnery
Having read the blurb for Unloved, I was a little scared to read the book itself. The despair evident within just those few lines broke my heart. It also haunted me and kept pulling me back, so I took a chance. Like me, Unloved is Katy Regnery stepping out of her comfort zone and getting surprising results. Cassidy takes readers on an introspective journey that is tragic, inspirational and courageously heartbreaking. Brynn is Cassidy's chance at redemption, if he steps out of his father's shadow, maybe he can save himself. Not only did I lose my breath, I left my heart behind as well.

Stuck in a boring insurance job, vivacious Mia Donovan has spent the last few years searching for her life's true path. She fills her time helping plan the wedding of her best friend to the CEO of the Sugar Rush Candy Company.
Mia has also been trying to attract the impossibly rigid Sugar Rush security chief Gavin Knight.

And when he finally approaches her, it's only to assess the wedding plans for potential security risks.
A former soldier, Gavin has intercepted hostile anonymous letters threatening the high-profile wedding. Determined to keep everyone safe, he's forced to work with the maddeningly sexy Miss Donovan of the thousand-watt charm and irresistible body.
Irked by Gavin's many months of disregard, Mia takes her teasing flirtations to a whole new level.

Necessary Roughness (Love & Football) by Julie Brannagh
Life consists of many locker rooms and corridors, but it's the way we play the game that determines the person we're meant to be. Ms. Brannagh understood that in order to make an impact, a person has to step up to the plate. Necessary Roughness is blessed with the humor Julie Brannagh gifted the world and the wisdom of heart that helps in our journey to become better people. That is the legacy of a wonderful author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Game On (Hometown Players) by Victoria DeNault
The shallowest of ponds hide the deepest of emotions. Alex is brash, sexy and the life of the party. A puzzle with jerk tendencies is my description for him. What lies beneath the ladies man skills is the broken heart of a child. A man afraid to expose his darkest secrets and his deepest moments. Brie is a woman with a short fuse and a big heart. She has no trouble speaking her mind, but will not risk giving anyone her heart. Game On is a mass of contradictions. The emotions are chaotic, the attraction is electric and the drama is magnetic.

ONCE UPON A GHOST (MURDER BY DESIGN) BY ERIN MCCARTHY
Release Date: October 10, 2017
SYNOPSIS
With Bailey Burke’s design and staging business booming- it turns out tangling with a serial killer is the best advertising ever- she has no time to lament her lack of love life, or wonder where her dead friend Ryan’s ghost has gone. She hasn’t seen him in months, but when she finds a body in a home she’s been hired to stage she’s hounded by the dead man’s ghost.
Having been a medium before, this guy is by far the most irritating ghost she’s ever met, with his constant need to talk over her and flick pennies at her head. Without Ryan to guide her, she’s on her own to figure out what the dead man needs from her. On top of all that, cop Jake Marner is back in her life, ostensibly to protect her, but mostly to confuse her as to whether they are dating or not.
Before she can say “Put It Where?” Bailey finds herself immersed in mob dealings, the secret world of male-only sweat baths, and double dealings. When another body turns up, there is no doubt that she’s in over her head… again.

Once Upon A Ghost by Erin McCarthy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Once Upon a Ghost is as unique as Erin McCarthy. I'm still trying to figure her out as an author, but boy am I enjoying the experience. It takes a vivid imagination to come up with characters as eccentric as they are lovable. Where else would you find a designing ghost whisperer and her brand of over the top scenarios and haunting clients? Mysteries tend to get too serious and Ms. McCarthy delivers all the intrigue with a hint of light, crazy and fearless fun.

YOU DO SOMETHING TO ME (THE SULLIVANS: NEW YORK) BY BELLA ANDRE
Release Date: October 11, 2017
SYNOPSIS
Alec Sullivan has always believed he has it all. A billion-dollar private aviation business. A penthouse apartment in New York City. Beautiful women who know better than to expect him ever to fall in love. And great siblings for whom he’d do anything. But when Alec's business partner passes away and leaves everything to a daughter Alec never knew about, in an instant everything in his life turns upside down…all because of Cordelia.
Cordelia always thought she was perfectly happy with her life. She owns a garden store she loves, lives in a pretty little cottage in the same town as her adoptive parents, and figures there’s plenty of time to meet Mr. Right. But she never counted on becoming the surprise heir to a fortune…or on meeting a man like Alec Sullivan. A shockingly sexy billionaire who makes her heart race and melt all at the same time.
Neither Alec nor Cordelia plans on getting any closer than they have to. Only, how can either of them fight this kind of heat, this depth of desire? And when Cordelia needs Alec’s support, it’s pure instinct for him to be there for her. But when it’s her turn to help him confront his deepest pain, will Alec let her in? Or will he push her away, just as he’s pushed away everyone who's loved him for the past thirty years…
YOU DO SOMETHING TO ME is part of Bella Andre's New York Times and USA Today #1 bestselling series about The Sullivans. While it can easily be read as a stand-alone story, you'll likely enjoy reading the other books, too.

REVIEW: YOU DO SOMETHING TO ME (THE SULLIVANS: NEW YORK) BY BELLA ANDRE
You Do Something to Me by Bella Andre
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Alec and Cordelia's story may seem like a bad cliche, but in reality it's a valid life lesson. You Do Something To Me is about appreciating the blessings of fate and learning from the painful moments faced along the way. It's not always pretty, but the feedback is worth each bump in the road. These people entered each other lives at a time when they needed each other most. From the pain of loss, to the trappings of instant fame, wealth and the surprising twists headed their way, the secret heir and the wealthy playboy change each other's lives in a big way. One obvious lesson to me is once a Sullivan takes over a heart there's no way to ever get it back. Something author and characters have in common.

Wild Card by Katy Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wild Card is a completion of what I like best about reading. Discovering new authors and reacquainting myself with old friends, while enjoying a great story. Ms. Alexander added her voice to a series that includes many amazing authors and made it her own. Stacy and Ryan are a hoot. He's clueless, she's fed up. Sometimes it takes losing what we wanted to fully appreciate what we had. It takes a while for these two people to get it right but it's a wildly fun and addictive ride along the way.
