TAMING THE CEO (RIGHT MAN, WRONG FAMILY) BY HAYSON MANNING
Release Date: June 5, 2017
SYNOPSIS
To save her family’s business, fledging CEO Daisy Cater must win the bid on a resort on St. Maarten. There’s a small catch, though. The seller insists all bidders visit the island and experience the singles retreat firsthand. This wouldn’t be so bad…if only rule-maker Daisy weren’t paired with her bitter rival, the hot and broody Alexander Gillard. Keeping her enemy close just became a whole lot harder.
Alexander “Zan” Gillard didn't expect to be partnered with gorgeous Daisy at the idyllic singles retreat. A challenge that has them cuffed together ignites an explosive chemistry, and soon Zan wants more than four days with this bewitching woman who is nothing like he expected her to be.
But their families are at odds and reality awaits them at home, along with a betrayal that threatens to blow their newfound trust apart...

Taming the CEO by Hayson Manning
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Romeo and Juliet got some stiff competition from Daisy and Zan. Feuding families, business rivals and a match that no one saw coming. Taming the CEO takes it's cues from a classic but decided to lighten the mood. Hayson Manning didn't sugarcoat the odds but spiced up the attraction. Quick, enjoyable tale.

Release Date: June 5, 2017
SYNOPSIS
In 1814 London, England, a lady is defined as a demure, delicate flower. Miss Francine Annesley is not that lady. If men were like plants, she would have a garden of admirers to choose from instead of the thorn in her side since childhood, Julian Beckwith. But she would make an even worse nun than she does a lady, which will be her fate if she can't dig up a husband before the Season ends. However, Julian is not an option.
With only ten short days left in the Season, Francine doesn't have time to waste on petty squabbles or knee-weakening kisses, even if Julian's offer to fulfill her every wish rouses her curiosity. It seems men are more complicated than plants. Too bad love bloomed at the most inconvenient of times...
Each book in the Ladies of Passion series is a standalone story that can be enjoyed out of order.

REVIEW: HOW TO RUIN YOUR REPUTATION IN 10 DAYS (LADIES OF PASSION) BY HARMONY WILLIAMS
How To Ruin Your Reputation in 10 Days by Harmony Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
It takes a gifted author to tackle sexism and self - esteem while crafting characters that are remarkably independent but still struggle with many vulnerabilities. How to Ruin Your Reputation in 10 Days takes place during a time when being a woman was considered a disability. Women were seen as window dressing more than anything else. Francine seeks to change that. She's quite book smart but lacks the ability to interact and read people. Her challenges and fears are put on full display when an ultimatum is issued. With marriage on the agenda but no matches of the heart on the horizon, will this ultimate outsider find her forever love? Or will she discover her savior has had her back all along?

Shameful by Nana Malone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The draw of Noah Blake is he's flawed. He struggles with his past, his future and his heart like everyone else. He's just better at hiding it. That is why I am quickly becoming enamored with this character. Getting caught up is easy. Waiting for what happens next? Not so much. Shameful is an exciting addition to a mouthwatering series.

HOUSE RULES (DOSSIER) BY CATHRYN FOX
Release Date: June 5, 2017
SYNOPSIS
The last thing I expected to find in my dossier was sexy stockings, a plane voucher to London and an invitation to dance at a gentleman’s club. I’m a quiet museum curator for God’s sake. No way, no how am I going to slide down a pole for a bunch of over privileged, narcissistic men—until I see Sean Fraser, my childhood crush, enter the establishment. Since I’m no longer that overweight teen with braces and mousey hair, there is no way he’ll recognize me. Hmmm… Maybe I’ll give him a fake name—and a private dance. That ought to make him finally notice me, right?
What the hell is Kennedy Lane doing sliding down a pole in a private Gentlemen’s club? I’m not sure, and while I know she’s hands off, I want her. I’ve always wanted her. She might have been too young for me back in the day. Now, not so much. Hands off leads to hands on after a private dance, and while Kennedy spends the weekend pretending to be someone she isn’t, I know full well who she is. And I’m not quite ready to let her hang up her stockings when the show is over.

REVIEW: WHEN THINGS GOT HOT IN TEXAS by Lori Wilde, Christie Craig, Katie Lane, Cynthia D'Alba, Laura Drake
When Things Got Hot in Texas by Lori Wilde
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Having read each author at one time or another, I had to have this anthology. This many fireworks in one place is bound to set off some sparks. Katie Lane strikes a bulls eye to the heart with her alpha heroes and equally irresistible female counterparts. The pieces always seem to fit, with Lori Wilde at the helm, there's bound to be a hit. Cynthia D'Alba sets the canvas ablaze. She pens feisty women not afraid to be brave and men who tempt the senses and fight for what they want.
Texas Daze is a second chance story for every responsible, brokenhearted dreamer. Eli and Marti are people of strength, who have struck out in the game of love. When a fluke accident has them crossing paths, can two people always in control, take a risk and learn to let go? Looking for love, laughter and happily ever after, When Things Got Hot In Texas is sure to deliver it all.
