Release DateAugust 20, 2018

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

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. So when an invitation arrives at her Florida condo, inviting Tate to spend St. Patrick’s Weekend back at Summerhaven where Finian works, she can’t resist heading up to New Hampshire for the festivities.

Having just gotten out of an awesomely bad relationship, Finian Kelley has sworn off romance, which is why it’s good that hottie Tate Jennings lives far away in the Florida Keys. They may have fooled around at Rory’s wedding, but at least they have no future together, right?

Wrong. When an annual celebration brings Tate back to New Hampshire, will Finian be able to stay away from the woman who’s already made an unwanted impression on his heart?

Return to Summerhaven one last time for this sweet, sultry, summer novella!

REVIEWCATCHING IRISH (THE SUMMERHAVEN TRIO) BY KATY REGNERY

 

Catching Irish (The Summerhaven Trio #4)Catching Irish by Katy Regnery

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Catching Irish reminded me of my favorite song. I got lost in the moment. Tate and Fin are like a catchy melody stuck on repeat in my head. The words are embedded and your heart is lost before you realize what's happening. When a heart finds it's match it never let's go. No matter what the odds, Regnery reminds us that true love is worth fighting for. Love is a gift and this series is a treasure inspired by that gift. Loved it.

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.

Release DateAugust 13, 2018

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Fighter pilot Ben Rutledge loves his solitude. Which means spending a month of leave in overcrowded, over-glitzy Las Vegas isn’t up his alley, especially after his friend ditches him.

After all, it’s just one night, and he can go back to his quiet life tomorrow.

Megan Shuttlekrump doesn’t have time for a boyfriend, much less a husband. But a night of celebratory drinks with a handsome stranger ends with a ring on her finger—and no memory of how it got there. Her new “husband” is over the top hot, but he’ll be out of her life once his leave is over. As long as they can find out which of the thousand or so chapels in Vegas married them…

REVIEW: ACCIDENTALLY IN LOVE WITH A PILOT BY TERI ANNE STANLEY

 

Accidentally in Love with the PilotAccidentally in Love with the Pilot by Teri Anne Stanley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas. Not in the real world anyway. A little relaxation in Sin City becomes a wild ride for two strangers. For a loner with the best of intentions and a wild child with escape on her mind, a few too many glasses of liquid courage has them putting a ring on it. The problem is neither can remember where, when or why. Except when it starts to become all too clear. Not only have they lost their minds but if they don't step carefully they just might lose their hearts. Teri Stanley always makes my heart a little lighter with her humorous tales of over the top romance. Accidentally in Love With a Pilot is wicked entertainment. Fun romance.

COWBOYS NEED NOT APPLY BY ROBERT TATE MILLER

 

 

Release DateAugust 13, 2018

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

No, prima donna ballerina Jessica Carmichael isn’t interested in the rough-and-tumble rodeo cowboy she met in physical therapy. In fact, she’s actively uninterested in his cocky smile, and his go-with-the-flow attitude, and how his silly little bets make her work harder than ever to fix her knee. She’d like nothing more than to strangle him, if she wasn’t so busy thinking about kissing him.

Matt Walker's best hope of getting back in the saddle is charming Jessica into teaching him ballet. He needs to get back on the bronc…even if he has to get there in tights. Only the uptight ballerina lives in a completely different world, one he wouldn't touch with a ten-foot mechanical bull. But maybe the one thing she needs more than control is to lose control for once—with him.

SYNOPSIS

 

Lori


Planning weddings is my dream job. As a single Mom, I live vicariously through my brides. From picking the dress to cutting the cake, I’m there every step of the way. 

When I meet the best man at the latest wedding, sparks fly. Graham Frazier is more than I bargained for. The charismatic soccer club owner is disillusioned with marriage after his divorce, so it’s part of my job to make sure he won’t slip any sarcastic jokes in his best man’s speech. 
It’s not part of my job to notice his washboard abs, or that he kisses like a dream. Graham’s touch is sizzling. 

Before I know it, he bosses me into accepting gifts and spending the night at his house (his excuse is good: I can’t possibly drive after working a wedding, can I?)
I say yes to both. There are no two ways about it. I have the hots for this bossy man. 

Graham

Since my divorce, weddings aren’t my favorite events. But when my best friends decide to tie the knot, I promise to throw them a party they won’t forget. 
I was counting on sitting through long hours of preparations, but I didn’t count on meeting someone like Lori Connor. 

I pursue her relentlessly, wanting those long legs wrapped around me and her smooth skin under my lips. 

Then I meet her son, and that boy charms me even faster than his mother did. Before I know it, he has me wrapped around his little finger.

But are Lori and I ready for our lives to intertwine in ways we haven’t even imagined before?

Wild With YouWild With You by Layla Hagen

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

 

When life doesn't go quite how we planned, it's the bumps in the road that point us in the right direction. Graham and Lori hit a few walls before they found themselves where they needed to be. Wild with You takes a look at the road less traveled. Lori had big dreams, but her dreams veered off course when she was given her greatest blessing. Her little boy. In that instant she found the courage to begin again and create a secure life for herself and her child. When Graham comes into her life, his bruises are a lot less visible, but no less traumatic. Somehow they find the strength to take a risk on an emotion that was not kind the first time around, but could be the start of something beautiful this time. Hagen firmly ensconces a place within the heart of her readers with heartwarming tales and hard to forget characters.

SYNOPSIS

 

A billionaire silver-screen hero finds a real-life heroine in this sizzling romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Ruth Cardello.

 

Sage Revere follows her instincts, which have led to an oddball career as a plant psychologist. As a side project, she also helps strangers find happiness.

On-screen, Eric Westerly is the hottest superhero there is. Offscreen, he’s out of rehab; incognito in London; and reevaluating his life, his career, and his broken family ties. All he wants is to be alone. Then along comes some daft plant whisperer who gets under his skin. She’s also sweet, sexy, and irresistible. But what’ll happen when she finds out who he is—that underneath the gray spandex, he’s just a regular guy with a Batcave?

 

But Eric isn’t the only one with a few secrets. And when the masks come off, Sage and Eric are going to have to trust each other if they want a Hollywood happy ending.

Humor and heartache are an odd combination, but Cardello makes it work. Hollywood Heir is not your average poor rich man story. Eric wears the weight of the world on his shoulders. He's haunted by abandonment issues, family problems self recrimination. All as the world watches. Self destruction has landed him in a dark place. Until fate sees fit to shine some light his way.

Can she help him before he completely self-destructs? A broken hero, an unlikely heroine and an empathetic ear are hard to resist when they come from the imagination of Ruth Cardello. A nice warm hug for the heart.

Meet the Arizona Vengeance, hockey’s hottest new team. They’re burning up the ice—until a one-night-stand with the coach’s daughter freezes one player in his skates.

Bishop Scott, co-captain. Not too shabby, huh? It’s all part of my fresh start with the NHL’s latest expansion team, and that means new teammates, a new coach, a new city, and a big new contract. Basically, I cannot f***ing wait to show my old squad what they’re missing.

But first, I decide to check out the town before the grind begins. Turns out Arizona chicks are totally smokin’, and I’m fortunate enough to meet one who’s looking for the same thing I am: a night of anonymous, unforgettable, no-strings-attached sex.

Fast forward to the Vengeance arena. It’s the last place I expect to see her again—let alone in her own office. Then bells go off and I finally realize who this girl is: Brooke Perron. My new coach’s daughter. All of a sudden, we’re picking up right where we left off, which means our hands are all over each other. That’s when her dad—my boss—walks in. And before I can get a word out, Brooke’s introducing me as her fiancé.

Sure, she just saved my ass. So why do I get the feeling Brooke’s going to turn my world upside down? Maybe it’s because this fake relationship feels way too real. . . .

She drives him crazy… In more ways than one. 

Every time Leah Holt encounters Quantum Production’s chief counsel, Emmett Burke, the only thing she can think of is how much she wants to lick him. Everywhere. She’s never had that kind of reaction to a man, and the fact that he’s a much-older colleague makes her out-of-control attraction to him far more complicated than it should be. Every day, she brings a new legal question to Emmett, hoping to catch his attention and make him see her as a grown woman who wants him desperately. She walks a fine line in trying to remain professional as the assistant to superstar Marlowe Sloane while lusting after Marlowe’s sexy attorney. 

To Emmett, Leah is a fly buzzing around his head who can’t be swatted away. She’s always there, looking at him, asking him legal questions that have nothing to do with his specialty in entertainment law and generally driving him mad with her overt sexiness and sassy mouth. He wants to toss her over his desk and run the sass right out of her, which is hardly the way a professional who loves his job should behave in the office—especially with a young, fresh, sexy colleague. As the author of the company’s policy on inter-office dating, he’s painfully aware of all the reasons he should stay far, far away from her and the tantalizing temptation she represents. 

Then Leah gets her chance to step up for Emmett, to help him through an unfortunate “accident” and to show him she’s much more than just a smart mouth and a sexy body. When she realizes she has genuine feelings for him—and that those feelings are returned—she wonders if he will take a chance on her or continue to hold her at arm’s length. Slowly but surely, she chips away at his resistance, and he begins to crave more of her. But Emmett knows if he’s going to let her in, he has to let her all the way in. What will she think when he introduces her to his BDSM lifestyle? Will she still want him the way she does now or will she run away in horror? And what will he do if she runs away? 

When Leah confronts a dangerous threat from her past, Emmett is forced to acknowledge that his “annoying little fly” has worked her way firmly into his heart—and his bed. 

Also, join the entire Quantum team at the company’s vineyard in Napa for Hayden and Addie’s wedding!

REVIEWOUTRAGEOUS (QUANTUM) BY MARIE FORCE

 

Outrageous (Quantum, #7)Outrageous by Marie Force

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


They have no use for forever. Happy endings are not in the plan. What began as a fiery attraction is beginning to burn out of hand. Outrageous is a battle between seduction and emotion. Emmett and Leah are a force of nature that is hard to contain. Marie Force brings on the heat, with heart and humor coming along for the ride. Larger than life, hard to resist and ready to take the fall. Stylishly sexy with a hint of over the top. Getting caught up is easy when Force is at the wheel.

From USA Today bestselling author Julianne MacLean comes a suspenseful, emotionally charged novel that explores the secrets and hidden truths within a seemingly perfect marriage.

 

Abbie MacIntyre is living the dream in the picturesque Nova Scotia town she calls home. She is a successful surgeon, is married to a handsome cardiologist, and has a model teenage son who is only months away from going off to college.

 

But then one fateful night, everything changes. When a drunk driver hits her car, Abbie is rushed to the hospital.

Infinite (Carolina Beach, #3)Infinite by Cecy Robson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Robson is my go to for a story with captivating characters and irresistible romance. Infinite is a reminder that perfection is not a requirement when it comes to love. Happiness is. Hale is a fighter. His life consists of making things happen for other people. Yet life seems to pass him by. He measures success by the almighty dollar and not the emotions he's locked away. When his life is touched by scandal, his past comes back to haunt him in the form of Becca Shields. Will she calm the storm or get caught up in the tempest of love? Cecy Robson has a talent for stepping outside of the classic fantasy and rebuilding the fairy-tale. Realism and connection are mighty weapons and she uses these to the fullest.

BILLIONAIRE BIKER (BILLIONAIRE) BY CLAIRE ADAMS

 

 

 

Release DateAugust 15, 2018

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

I didn’t think much about the photo shoot. Big damn deal. So what, a few models come in, put on some skimpy outfits and plaster themselves over our bikes. If that’s what it takes to sell my motorcycles, I was happy to do it.

Since I’d taken over the company after my father’s death, I owed it to my old man to make sure Stroker Motorcycles continued to grow into a powerhouse. I’d even left the road and my biker lifestyle to honor my father’s last wishes.

Besides, it’s not like a pretty face is enough to turn my head. At least that’s what I thought.

When I saw Cat, everything changed. I’d spent years on the road on my bike. I’d had a lot of one-night stands. I thought I knew what it was to lust after a woman, but with that gray-eyed goddess, just seeing her made me addicted.

Cat was just supposed to be another model. Now I can’t go three seconds without thinking about her.

Oh, one big problem. The woman hates motorcycles. To her, the modeling gig’s just a way to save some money for her kid’s education.

Why do I want a woman who hates everything I am?

LIGHTING FIRE (CALIFORNIAN WILDFIRE FIGHTERS) BY LESLIE NORTH

SYNOPSIS

 

Sookie Logan is interested in one thing and Chase Kingston is not it. A fiercely independent helicopter pilot for the National Guard, Sookie is back in her hometown to fly her copter and help fight a fire, not to hook up with some junior firefighter from Alaska. Especially when this particular firefighter works for her brother, the one person in the world who’s let her down the most. The hunk in yellow & tan is off limits.

 

But when a date intended to just make her brother’s blood boil turns into much more, Sookie and Chase give in to their raging attraction. Both agree it’s a quick fling—something that will last only as long as it takes to knock down the flames threatening her town. Leaving Chase behind will be as easy as leaving her hometown was the first time. No attachments. No regrets.

Chase wasn’t looking for a hook-up and definitely not with his boss’s little sister. Besides, Chase isn’t about to fall for Sookie. Their “relationship” is all about the great sex, thank you very much—he’s been burned in the past and there’s no chance of a repeat. No way. Not even if Sookie is starting to get under his skin and he can’t seem to get that little firecracker of his head.

 

Just when Chase is beginning to believe they may have something real, the demons he’s been fighting for years come back with a vengeance, making a future between the two as unpredictable as the fire they’re fighting. As the fire rages on, will Sookie and Chase douse their own flame? Or realize they’re meant to face any inferno together?

UNDER HIS COMMAND (DECADENCE L.A.) BY MADDIE TAYLOR

 

 

Release DateAugust 16, 2018

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Navy SEAL Commander Flynn Dalton is looking forward to the next chapter in his life. After two decades of active duty, he's home and ready to put down roots. Though his days are spent training new recruits at Coronado Island, his nights finally belong to him. And there's only one thing the commander wants to do: search for his perfect submissive. Too bad the woman he wants to claim is too young, too shy, and too damn vanilla.

Systems analyst Cassie Hardwick should have a very busy social life. After all, she works on a naval base surrounded by gorgeous men in uniform. But she's not interested in any of the potential perks of her job because she only has eyes for one man: a powerful, gritty, and unbelievably sexy officer. Unfortunately, Flynn sees her as nothing more than a sweet kid.

When her best friend suggests a masquerade party at an exclusive out of town club, Cassie doesn't expect to run into any of her co-workers, let alone the one she's gone there to forget. When the masks come off at midnight, Flynn is more than surprised to discover what he's been searching for-- is definitely not too young or too vanilla--and has been right in front of him all along.

This is book two in the Decadence L.A. series but can be enjoyed as a standalone.

Publisher's Note: This steamy, adult only romance contains elements of power exchange and sensual scenes. If any of these offend you, please do not purchase.
