LIPS CLOSE TO MINE (WHEREVER YOU GO) BY ROBIN BIELMAN
Release Date: November 20, 2017
SYNOPSIS
I wasn’t supposed to see Levi Pierce ever again. A few months ago, he charmed the pants off me and we spent one incredible night together.
End of story.
Only it wasn’t. Pretty soon everywhere I turn, I see him. Our best friends are dating. My mother mistakenly—and happily—thinks he’s my plus-one to my cousin’s wedding. And he’s the guy I have to work with on the most important job opportunity of my life.
Here’s my problem: I like Levi. I like his killer smile and his dreamboat eyes and definitely the way he makes me feel in bed. But I’ve sworn off relationships. So when the sexual tension reaches epic proportions and we fall back into bed together, I tell myself it’s temporary. When I start to feel more, I tell myself it’s over.
Only Levi isn’t a forget-it kind of guy. When his lips are close to mine and he swears he’s always wanted me, my defenses disappear. But some things in life just aren’t meant to be.
Or are they?

The Big, Bad Billionaire by Jackie Ashenden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Big Bad Billionaire (Billionaire Fairy Tales) by Jackie Ashenden
Love in all it's tragic glory turns into an empowering tale of happily ever after. Ms. Ashenden breaks down barriers and tunnels deep into the soul of her readers. The Big Bad Billionaire is a haunting story of obsession, romance and so much pain. Ella and Rafe share a bond that has remained embedded in their souls. It borders on manic, but it seems almost ethereal. The misunderstood little boy has now become an embittered adult with a multitude of agendas and an obsession to gain back all he's lost. Including the angel that has flitted through his mind and held a claim on his heart for years. Can the broken man find redemption in the scared young woman that has yet to discover her own strength? There were so many moments that I could barely breath from all the emotions. Part Phantom of the Opera, part Little Red Riding Hood, Ella and Rafe dance to the beat of their own drum and the melody is one not easily ignored.

SYNOPSIS
Four new stand-alone-novellas by four top-selling authors of historical romance.
English lords are notoriously egotistical, self-absorbed, and independent creatures. So when one of them admits that a woman has made him a better man, that admission goes against everything he’s convinced himself is possible. In this collection you will meet four such fellows! Four scoundrels of differing shades of arrogance and pride who are about to lose their hearts in the most enticing, unexpected, blindingly stubborn ways.
HIS WICKED EMBRACE
by USA Today Bestselling Author Lauren Smith
A kidnapped Persian princess was the last thing he expected to find when Lawrence Russell went under cover for the Bow Street Runners. But with one look at her terrified eyes, he knew he had to save her. And in doing so, he knew she’d made of him a better man. Still in danger of being discovered by her obsessed captor, the half-English princess Lady Zehra is left with only one request of her handsome savior. “Take me to bed. I wish to see the stars again.”
THE SECRET SCOUNDREL
by Kristin Gabriel, two-time Rita winner and author of the Harlequin book made into the television movie Recipe for Revenge
One stolen vase, two captured hearts.
Miss Diana Harwood was too tall to gain a fellow’s interest, and Colin Sinclair, Marquess of Thorne and Viscount Thorne, was too much of a rogue to tempt any clear-thinking maiden. But when neither can manage to win the upper hand, their only recourse is to collaborate in finding the priceless Chinese vase Thorne was hired to recover…and leave their hearts perilously unguarded.

A SCOUNDREL AT HEART

A Husband by New Year's by Sean D. YoungMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A Husband by New Year's (McClendon Holiday) by Sean D. Young
The best way to sum up Patrick and Renee is through the words of a familiar melody. The first line of an old Keith Whitley song fits this couple perfectly. I have always loved the tune, When You Say Nothing at All and in the opening verse of that song it says " It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart." Simple words, perfect description, beautiful sentiment. Ms. Young managed to convey a ton of realistic emotion in a classically uncomplicated story. The most gifted of artists are not remembered for the words they say or the things they do but the magic they leave behind. That is how A Husband By New Year's made me feel. Like I was standing in the presence of something special.

SERVED COLD (BEST REVENGE) BY MARIE HARTE
Release Date: November 13, 2017
SYNOPSIS
A little white lie has the power to bring a reformed bad boy to his knees.
Back in high school, Ann Weaver told herself getting ditched by Jack Bloom was for the best. At twenty-nine, she’s way over him. He was her first, but definitely not her last.
On weekly wine night with her friends, the talk turns to regrets—and Ann finds herself pledging to fix her past, starting with confronting those who treated her like dirt. Her first target: Jack, who’s recently moved back to town to stay.
But something’s different. He’s funny, kind, and amazing in bed. He acts like he really likes her, might even love her. Soon Ann is having a hard time remembering she’s only in it for revenge. Especially when she learns the real reason he dumped her.
Jack is older, wiser, and has a hell of a lot of experience behind him. For a chance at a future with this grown-up, gorgeous Ann, he’s ready to do whatever it takes. Until her true motive for rekindling their romance comes to light, and Jack must decide if forgiveness is enough to let love push through the lie.
Warning: A woman who’s out for revenge and encouraging friends rooting her on. May include sex in the outdoors, fun with salad, kissing in class, and a school teacher swearing like a sailor—not necessarily in that order.

REVIEW: SERVED HOT (BEST REVENGE) BY MARIE HARTE
Authentic, realistic and lovable. Served Hot has two of the most well written characters, I've come across. Maya is a pistol. She is not afraid to be who she is. Even in the most emotional moments of her life. She takes life in all of it's glory and pain and makes it her greatest achievement. I love that about her. Dex is the opposite. He knows what he wants, but has to make himself take risks and work toward his goal. They bring out the best in each other, despite the fiasco of how they began. Served Hot is my favorite Marie Harte novels. She dares to speak a truth that we all know, but fail to acknowledge. Love is not about perfection. It's about accepting the flaws they make us who we are and looking beyond them.

SERVED SWEET (BEST REVENGE) BY MARIE HARTE
Release Date: November 13, 2017
SYNOPSIS
It’s all or nothing, and to the victor go the dirty sweet spoils.
As if buried in their respective DNA, Riley Hewitt and Anson Black have been rivals since grade school. Always trying to one-up the other…until Anson left town right after graduation.
Fast forward a few years. Just as Riley is thinking of expanding her profitable baking business, who should plant his new restaurant right next door but smug, annoying—and, unfortunately, drop-dead-sexy—Anson. Spurred by a large bottle of wine and her two best friends, Riley sets out to get revenge.
Of all the women Anson has known, no one has stirred him—or made him work harder—than Riley. Moving in right under her nose, he’ll be a constant thorn in her side. After all, he’s smart, sexy and successful. What’s not to love?
Much to her chagrin, Riley finds more than her competitive edge coming back to life. So is her libido. But if she lets her heart fall into Anson’s win column, she could lose in more ways than one. And this time around, second place just isn’t going to cut it.
Warning: A smug man needing his comeuppance duels with a baking queen who stirs his passion like nobody’s business. No cupcakes were injured in the making of this romance, but the same can’t be said for the knitting needles.

Be careful what you wish for, cause there may be more in store than you bargained for. Ms. Harte turns good advice into naughty fun. Served Sweet is Marie Harte at her most sizzling. The competition is fierce but the attraction is smokin'. Anson and Riley take their type A personalities to the extreme with binges of smoldering lust and years of aggressive rivalry. Who will come out the victor? Or will they both lose in the end? Five alarm chili has nothing on Anson and Riley.

The Irredeemable Billionaire (The Muse Series) by Lexxie Couper
The most precious gift is the one that is hard to obtain. It's been a long, winding road, but Sebastian finally got the message. Lexxie Couper continues to surprise me by expanding her range and getting in tune with the emotional side of love, not just the physical. The Irredeemable Billionaire is not a story of loss. It's is a message of healing. A journey of hope and a pathway to second chances. Grace and Seb had to travel separate paths to get them to their happily ever after, but life experience and lessons learned gave them a valuable treasure. Happiness.

When her latest boyfriend dumps her, she decides to devote her time to “exploring herself” (read: drinking wine and ordering sex toys online) and starting her freelance makeup business. That is, until an embarrassing delivery mix-up puts her sexy, gruff neighbor in her path…
Beckett Walsh is married to his job…which is a deal-breaker for the woman he’s supposed to be marrying. Even worse, his would-be father-in-law has pulled support from Beckett's startup and now Beckett stands to lose everything. But the gorgeous, crazy makeup artist from down the hall has an equally crazy but mutually beneficial idea: if he convinces his sister to hire McKenna for her high-society wedding, McKenna will teach him about what women want so he can get his fiancée back.

REVIEW: TROUBLE NEXT DOOR BY STEFANIE LONDON
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Tempting reading often appears at the most unexpected times and leaves a lasting impression. With a laugh out loud storyline and a heavy dose of heart, Trouble Next Door has much to offer. McKenna is a tad needy and Beckett tends to be a bit too clueless. Nothing good can come from this combination, but it turns out to be gold. Amidst the over the top wedding and the equally flighty personas, McKenna and Beckett learn about themselves and each other. It only takes some soul searching to show a person is most beautiful, when being true to themselves. Inspiring words to live by.
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SEXY RIVAL (JAMESON BROTHERS) BY LESLIE NORTH
Release Date: November 14, 2017
SYNOPSIS
He wants to beat out the competition. But he never imagined the competition would be so tempting...
William Jameson is a born leader. Strong, efficient, and with a special talent for knowing exactly what turns people on—it’s no surprise that he’s the CEO of the billion-dollar Jameson Ad Agency. He’s always had his choice of client—that is until a boutique agency called Wildflower sprouts up like a weed in his perfectly manicured world, stealing the last three jobs out from under him. It’s hard not to be attracted to the free-spirited owner. Her mind and body are exactly what his heart wants...it’s too bad his goal is to crush her as competition.
Poppy Hanniford, CEO of the Wildflower Agency, has always been unique and as colorful as her business’s name. A fan of communal collaboration and out of the box ideas, Poppy and William come together in the perfect storm when a rogue romance publisher decides that two is sometimes better than one: challenging Poppy and William to work together on a trial project. The person who performs best, wins their future business.
Forced by the client into teaming up, William and Poppy are about to find that while their leadership styles don’t mix, romance is one subject they agree on. A smoldering kiss for the cover of a book kicks off an affair that’s hotter than the bestsellers they want to advertise. When it’s made clear that only one of them can walk away with the contract, they’ll need to decide what’s more important: the job or their love.

UP FOR HEIR (WESTERLY BILLIONAIRES) BY RUTH CARDELLO
Release Date: November 14, 2017
SYNOPSIS
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Ruth Cardello puts two hearts on the line when a Boston billionaire takes a second chance on the woman of his dreams.
Spencer Westerly is his own man. He didn’t need his father’s money to build his wildly successful tech company—and he doesn’t want to deal with the fallout from old family secrets. But as much as Spencer wants to avoid Westerly drama, his grandmother—the family matriarch—is determined to pull him back into the fold. And she’s discovered the perfect lure: his college sweetheart, Hailey.
Although she broke his heart, Hailey is still the only woman he’s ever loved. Now that she’s back and looking as desirable as ever, Spencer is determined to get a second chance.
A lot has changed for Hailey Tiverton. The only thing that hasn’t? The inexplicable pull she feels toward Spencer. When they were younger, his work was his priority. Now, he’d better be willing to prove that, this time, love comes first…

Up for Heir (Westerly Billonaires) by Ruth Cardello
Life is the ultimate classroom. On a daily basis, no matter the age, gender or race we learn truths about ourselves and the world around us. Two of the most prolific lessons I've learned: (1.) Learning is an ongoing fixture in life and (2.) People can surprise in the most unexpected of ways.
Up For Heir is an uplifting tale of lost love, broken dreams and one very special little girl. Ms. Cardello created a meeting of hearts that was not only a romance, but a pathway to healing. The connection between Hailey and her brother was an unbreakable one. Not even death could sever the bond they shared. His words of encouragement were an ever present feature in the life of a woman determined to keep his memory in her heart. Another precious bond was the one forged between a scared little girl and a blustery old woman. The way Skye and the matriarch of the Westerly family took to each other was an emotional experience. Ruth Cardello set out to write a romance, but she created a love story that affected many lives and helped to rebuild a family.

Release Date: November 14, 2017
SYNOPSIS
Nixie Rowland is having a bad day. Rushing home to drown her sorrows in ice cream and reality television, she decides to take a shortcut to the subway where things take a turn for the worst. But Nixie’s bad luck doesn’t end there—the white knight who comes to her rescue is none other than the Dark Knight of Wall Street, a cocky Manhattan mogul whose ego barely fits inside his penthouse. To her horror, Nixie discovers the sizzling attraction between them is off the charts, and rising fast. Spending the night in his bed does nothing to lower the heat… And everything to set her heart on fire.
Nash Knight doesn’t have room in his life, or his heart, for anything beyond one-night stands or casual flings. And he certainly doesn’t make a habit of rescuing damsels in distress. Except that this particular damsel slips beneath his armor, the vulnerability she covers with a false show of bravado hitting him somewhere deep. Nixie is everything he never wanted… And exactly what he needs.
With Nixie on the run from a controlling ex, and Nash trying to salvage a business deal at risk because his conquests in the bedroom are overshadowing his wins in the boardroom, there’s one simple solution for them both: a marriage in name only. But when lust becomes love, will their untamed emotions be a deal breaker?

REVIEW: DEAL BREAKER (BILLIONAIRE BOSSES) BY TARA LEIGH
There are times when the worst moments in life can lead to an unexpectedly happy ending. Deal Breaker is dangerous, intriguing, steamy and emotional, but the thrill is that the characters are not easily forgotten and the tale itself is hard to resist. Nixie is caught in the cross hairs of a chaotic life, a controlling ex and mysterious hero that needs a bit of rescuing of his own. A romance on the edge, a life on the run and attraction that is as sneaky as the danger is hot on their heels, Deal Breaker is a full on force of nature that once unleashed is hard to contain.

The Silent Duke by Jess MichaelsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ms. Michaels had to have known she was creating something special. I knew from the moment I read the blurb this story was meant for me. The Silent Duke is so much bigger than a seductive romance. It is a story of one man's struggle to be heard, despite unspeakable heartache. Told so masterfully through the eyes of the courageous and the soul of love, this tale speaks to the heart on so many levels and is as inspiring as it is gut wrenching. Ewan is the ultimate survivor because he made it through ever obstacle with his soul intact and finally made it home. His was a voice meant to be heard and together Ewan and Charlotte found a love that was unstoppable.

Navy SEAL Wyatt Chandler loves the pulse-pounding, adrenaline-spiking tempo of Special Ops. But when a teammate dies in his arms during a mission gone wrong, he decides it's time to hang up his combat boots before he becomes the next casualty. He can't let his grandmother--the woman who raised him after his parents died--go through that kind of pain ever again.
But going home isn't as easy as it sounds, and he has no idea what to do now that he's no longer HALO-jumping into enemy territory. When he gets a chance to use his skills and play bodyguard to an heiress, he takes the assignment. How hard can it be to babysit one spoiled blonde?
Reality TV star Paige Spencer never expected to find herself bundled off to her dad's fishing retreat in Nowheresville, USA, and put into the care of a hot bodyguard with a chip on his shoulder. But someone is threatening her life--and the threats are escalating. Getting away from Seattle until the police catch her stalker is the only sensible option.
Paige hates all things small-town and charming, but Eagle's Ridge has a way of growing on a person. And then there's Wyatt, the sexy, growly, utterly delicious protector who makes her heart pound and her pulse skip with every hard-eyed look. And when he finally lets down his guard and kisses her? Mercy.

Whether neutral or bias, Neutral Zone tackles subjects we can all get behind. Look beyond the romance and step into the light. Ms. Gayle is once again, on track with the times. Cole and Luke's tale is a fight for acceptance and self- love. It is a journey that is equal parts heartbreaking and inspirational. Life is about being true to ourselves and making the time we have here count. Skin color, religious beliefs or sexuality should not factor into tolerance. That's the lesson that Neutral Zone teaches.

She thinks they’re a mistake
I've spent my whole life working toward my goals, being the best I can be at my job. Arrogant, persistent, pain in the skirt billionaire Colin Huntley isn't going to change that, even if he is the hottest man I've ever had the pleasure of working with. And pleasure is definitely something the man can deliver, without question. Our single, mind blowing night together was a mistake, though. A one-night stand brought on by a lapse in judgment. One I won't make again, so long as I stay strong as he starts his chase. Because when Colin decides he wants something, he gets it. And he's decided he wants me.
He always gets what he wants
Sloane McLaren may be the best VP I’ve ever had, but she taunts me every day in her tight little skirts and her librarian-fantasy glasses. Especially since that night. The one when I had her in my bed, in my shower, bent over my kitchen counter. I thought we were finally on the same page...until I woke up to cold sheets and an empty bed. She may assume it’s business as usual in the office, but I didn’t build my billion-dollar company on assumptions. I want her back in my bed, and I’m willing to play dirty to get her there.

Finding the perfect read is like searching for the perfect shoe. There are many sizes, colors and styles, but when you come across the one that is destined to be your favorite, you just know. Bedding the Billionaire felt that way for me. I'm not usually into the overly risque, but Colin and Sloane are a force to be reckoned with. Ms. Hale tempts with her domineering male and his equally alpha mate. A tango is only as good as the dancers that perform it. Ms. Hale may use a pen and paper in her performance, but she can seduce with the best of them.

What could be more joyous than a Kilcannon Christmas? But for Daniel Kilcannon, the man they call “The Dogfather,” this holiday season is anything but happy.

Ask his six grown children who run Waterford Farm for him, and they'll tell you that their father's nickname is due to his uncanny ability to pull a few strings to get what he wants. And what he wants is for his four sons and two daughters to find the kind of life-changing love he had with his dearly departed wife, Annie.

REVIEW: SANTA PAWS IS COMING TO TOWN (DOGFATHER NOVELLA) BY ROXANNE ST. CLAIRE
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Have been a fan of Roxanne St. Claire for what seems like forever, but her Dogfather series is the group of series that speaks to me the most. Family, faith and friendship band together to touch the heart and make me smile. Whether two legged or four legged, we all deserve a second chance to make our mark on the world and find where we belong. Santa Paws is Coming to Town is a reminder to count life's blessings. Love, life and laughter create rewarding and lasting memories. Storytelling at it's finest.
