[Release Blitz + Review] Karma by Carly Phillips

🔥HOT NEW RELEASE🔥

We are excited to celebrate KARMA by Carly Phillips and Amo Jones is LIVE!!

ABOUT THE BOOK.

They’ve got chemistry. But he’s her brother’s worst enemy—and arresting officer.

For Officer Dare Barron, there’s only one good thing about bad-boy Brian McKnight getting thrown in the drunk tank again. Being there when Brian’s sister, Liza, strides into the precinct on those long, delectable legs to bail her brother out.

It’s not just the old building’s failing air conditioning making Dare sweat. Liza is a contradiction of proper lady and sexy siren who’s riveted Dare’s attention since high school.

She’s always been oblivious, which is a good thing because she’s way out of his league. Plus, she’s got a huge blind spot where her brother’s concerned, and Dare knows what’s hiding in that void she refuses to see.

When one of those secrets threatens Liza’s safety, Dare doesn’t hesitate to appoint himself her protector. Close proximity awakens Liza’s desire for the sexy cop and fuels the sizzling heat between them, but the bad blood between their families could ruin any chance for love.

Note: Karma is book five of Serendipity series by NYT bestselling author Carly Phillips. Contains a by-the-book cop with some hot off-shift fantasies about the girl of his dreams, and a woman who doesn’t quite mind being looked at like she’s a hot fudge sundae.

Amara

Tyler Collins has always been the object of my affection. He just doesn’t know it.

I’ve spent years admiring him, fantasizing about him, but never once making a move.

That is until I see him across the room, already a few beers in and drunkenly decide to press my lips to his. One minute I’m sharing a drink with a friend, and the next, I’m Kissing My Crush.

Now I’m trapped at a beautiful resort with the man I so desperately want to avoid, to celebrate the nuptials of our dear friends.

I can feel his eyes on me. He’s watching. Waiting for what I’m not sure. The fear of rejection is too strong for me to mention the kiss. That night is on constant replay in my mind. I often wonder how he would react if I could confess that to me, our kiss was not a drunken mistake.

Tyler

Quiet, sweet Amara, the one woman I never expected to crave and the one I can’t seem to shake. One unexpected kiss, and now all I can think about is her lips pressed to mine.

I’ve managed to avoid attachments, keeping things casual and enjoying one day at a time. Yet, a timid blonde marches across a hazy bar and grabs hold of my hair, giving me the kiss that changes it all. Changes me.

She wants to pretend it never happened, but I never was much for playing games. She might want me to believe the kiss was forgettable, but we both know better. Hands down the hottest kiss of my life.

That moment with her wasn’t nothing. It was everything.

It was the turning point and the start of something I know without a doubt will be more than we both ever could have expected.

🔥🔥OUT NOW🔥🔥

I'LL JUST DATE MYSELF

by Lani Lynn Vale is NOW LIVE!!!

ABOUT THE BOOK.

Normally when you say, “I have a stalker,” you think bad thoughts. That wasn’t the kind of

stalker Folsom was when it came to Kobe Sano. Folsom liked to call herself a “guardian angel in

disguise.”

The first time he catches her attention, he’s been assigned to hunt her down and throw away the

key. All she did was steal someone else’s child. Well, embryo, that is. What Kobe doesn’t know,

though, is the man that hired him is up to no good, and she has no other choice but to run without

looking back.

From that moment on, she spends the rest of her spare time running away from him while also

digging into every nook and cranny of his personal life, finding every weakness he has and

utilizing it any way she needs to keep herself one step ahead of him.

Only one day, when she goes to do her usual snooping, she finds out that not only is her favorite

person in trouble, but he’s also in need of her help.

Too bad it takes her years to find that help.

Her next step is to break him out of the pokey prison-break style.

If she knew he’d go without question, she very well might have.

***

It didn’t take a genius to know when someone was stalking you. The signs were all there, and

they eventually pointed right at Folsom.

When he figures it out, he plans to confront her and maybe address the silent sexual tension

that’s been brewing between them for the last few years.

However, right when he’s ready to admit to himself that she might be the one—daughter who

intimidates the hell out of him or not—she up and disappears for a year.

In that year, he spends every waking moment searching for her.

And eventually he finds her, confronts her, and is hit in the face with the secrets she’s kept from

him for years.

One of which is a big one.

The daughter that she protects with everything she has—the one that he’s come to love with all

his heart, just like her mom—is the very abducted child from his one and only unsolved case.

BLURB.

Ford Spears, star hockey player, is ready to grab the only goal he has ever wanted; a second chance with the mother of his child…

For our son. That’s the explanation my hockey-playing ex gave as to why we needed to spend time as a family at his lake house in the small town where it all began. What I didn’t expect was to show up and discover our son is spending another week at camp, and we are all alone. Oh, and fake a relationship to fulfill his old lady’s wish, too. I realize Ford is on the mission I always feared;

Win me back.

But our past is filled with heartache and regret. It’s going to take a lot more than a few strolls down memory lane or romantic boat rides on the lake to overcome the past. And don’t get me started on the man refusing to wear a shirt around the house. He wants us to have one week together to show we could have it all, but I know that’s not a good idea. Not when I don’t know who believes in us more. Now we are both wondering if being together was always worth the wait…

Ford and Brielle bring the feels and steam in this second chance, completely swoon worthy, forced proximity story. Worth the Wait is book three in the standalone interconnected Lake Spark series. For lovers of small-town romance with a touch of sports.

My husband died one year after our wedding, casting me as the charity case in my small Alaskan town.

To make matters worse, he’s the one who answered my ad for a roommate. Sharing the close quarters of our two-bedroom apartment means I have to set some ground rules like keeping his rippled abs covered. Soon we become friends, he’s making me dinners, and we’re binge-watching television shows all night.

The more our lives intertwine, the more I start to fall for him. Leaving me wondering, can you find the love of your life twice in one lifetime?

I’m not just kissing the rival… I’m falling for him.

Spencer Pennington has always been a shameless flirt, but when it came to being the best in our MBA program, all bets were off, and the competition was on.

Fast-forward a few years, and all it takes is a bar at a failed wedding and my silly kiss-rating system to lock lips with the enemy. Cocky as ever, Spencer claims he’s a ten and kisses me to prove it. I kiss him back to scratch an old itch, not expecting to like it.

Which is a huge problem, because Mr. Tall, Dark, and Tattooed from grad school is my new boss. And I want to kiss him again and again. Even if I only gave him a four.

Spencer

Charlotte Krause could be the perfect girl, if she didn’t hate me so much. I’m unsure if it was just me or guys in general, but she had this stuck-up, all-work-no-play vibe about her in college.

When I promise her I’m a ten, I see that competitive spark light in her ocean-blue eyes. There she is. She might have kissed me to prove me wrong, but I know I’m right about one thing.

She feels the spark too. There’s just one problem. It turns out her actual job is working for me.

RELEASE DATE: June 27, 2019

BLURB.

Despite growing up in rival towns, Grady Rock and I were high school best friends.

But now?

Now, he’s my biggest enemy. My dirty-talking, master-baking, grudge-holding, hot-as-sin enemy.

All I wanted was to help my mom run her bakery after a family emergency left her unable to do it herself.

Never mind that I can’t bake. Or that I never wanted to move home again. Or that this is the hardest thing I’ve ever done and I could use a friend right now.

All Grady freaking Rock cares about now is that I’m his competition.

It’s town against town. Bakery against bakery. Old friend against old friend.

Until Grady finds out why I’m back home.

And suddenly, Mr. Get Out of My Way is more like the boy I knew in high school. But older. Wiser. And infinitely more irresistible.

I resisted his charm in high school for the sake of my future. But if I give in to it now, am I sleeping with the enemy?

Dirty Talking Rival is a deliciously fun friends-to-enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy featuring a smooth-talking baker, the one who got away, and a goat with more matchmaking tendencies than a nosy old grandpa. It stands alone with no cheating or cliffhangers.
