When fate puts Stella in his path again, he’s determined to get to the cause of her desperation and help solve all her problems. If only the headstrong, stubborn woman would let him in. She’s trying her hardest to keep her walls up, but he’s dead set on showing her that the best things happen when you least expect it.

GENRE: Erotic Mountain Man Romance

ABOUT THE BOOK.

Infuriating, sexy and seemingly everywhere, Penn Barnett is far too sexy for his own good. It seems like every woman in Rockhead Point has had a taste of the mountain man, and I can definitely see the appeal.

When I literally fall into his orbit, he tells me I’m his the moment our eyes meet. But my life is anything but simple, and right now I just don’t have the time or energy for another complication in my world… no matter how hot he is.

Only he isn’t prepared to take no for an answer… and he’s determined to make me his.

Now he’s everywhere I am, following me home and trying to take over my life. But I’m not the only woman who wants to be claimed by him and his ex has open access to my life, especially when I’m staying in her mom’s house.

If I’m his and he’s mine, how come everything is trying to tear us apart? 

He wants to claim me, and I might want that too, but my life isn’t my own, and for the first time ever… the Barnett brothers’ legacy might not be as powerful as real life.

RECKLESS by Abby Brooks is LIVE!!

ABOUT THE BOOK.

I thought the proposal was a joke at first. You would too, given the circumstances. Anyone would. 

When my brother’s best friend asks me to marry him—right after we fell into bed together!—it’s not for love. 

And it’s certainly not because he has his eyes set on a happily ever after.

Oh no.

He wants me to be the future Mrs. Malone because he’s in a bind and “kind of needs a wife.”

But I’ve been head-over-heels, stupid-in-the-brain in love with the guy since I was sixteen. SIXTEEN.

While he’s talking about a business proposal, I’m staring at a dream come true.

Obviously, I should walk away from this crazy idea with my head held high, but when it comes to Jude, I’m weak. I always have been.

Plus, after our drunken rendezvous the night of my brother’s wedding, I’ve got some very real reasons to say yes.

I can get through this with my heart intact…can’t I?

[Blog Tour + Review] Josh and Gemma Make a Baby by Sarah Ready

When the baby-making ends will something else begin?

JOSH AND GEMMA MAKE A BABY, an all new laugh-out-loud friends-to-lovers romantic comedy from bestselling author Sarah Ready is available now!!

ABOUT THE BOOK.

New Year’s Resolution:

Have a baby

Preferably with Josh Lewenthal

Meet Gemma Jacobs. She’s driven, energetic, and a positive thinker. She has a great career working for famed self-help guru Ian Fortune, she lives in a cute studio apartment in Manhattan, and her family is supportive and loving (albeit a little kooky). Her life is perfect. Absolutely wonderful.

Except for one tiny little thing.

After a decade of disastrous relationships and an infertility diagnosis, Gemma doesn’t want a Mr. Right (or even a Mr. Right Now), she just wants a baby.

And all she needs is an egg, some sperm, and IVF.

So Gemma makes a New Year’s resolution: have a baby.

Josh Lewenthal is a laid back, relaxed, find-the-humor-in-life kind of guy. The polar opposite of Gemma. He’s also her brother’s best friend. For the past twenty years Josh has attended every Jacobs’ family birthday, holiday, and event – he’s always around.

Gemma knows him. He’s nice (enough), he’s funny (-ish), he’s healthy (she thinks) and he didn’t burn any ants with a magnifying glass as a kid. Which, in Gemma’s mind, makes him the perfect option for a sperm donor.

So Gemma wants to make a deal. An unemotional, business-like arrangement. No commitments, just a baby.

To Gemma’s surprise, Josh agrees.

They have nothing in common, except their agreement to make a baby and their desire to keep things businesslike.

But the thing about baby-making…it’s hard to keep it businesslike, it’s nearly impossible to keep it unemotional, and it’s definitely impossible to keep your heart out of the mix. Because when you’re making a baby together, things have a way of starting to feel like you’re making other things too – like a life, and a family, and love. And when the baby-making ends, you wish that everything else didn’t have to end too.

A few years ago, when his sister went missing, Haggard Crow turned into something he never wanted to be. A killer.

The life he chooses to live is a simple one. Until he makes a huge mistake, and he steps over that line between ‘daughter’s best friend’ and ‘a woman he desperately wants.’

Before long, he can’t stop thinking about her. Can’t stop wanting her. Can’t stop feeling things for her that a man twenty years her senior should never feel for a girl he watched grow up.

After one lapse in judgment, he decides she needs to go. But the funny thing is, he never expected Sophia Madden to fight back. And dirty at that.

SURRENDER TO ME by Kelly Elliott is NOW LIVE!!

ABOUT THE BOOK.

Arabella Adams was the one woman I would have laid my life down for, no matter the circumstance, because that's what you would do for your soulmate. But when she broke up with me our senior year of college—for no reason or explanation at all—my world as I knew it fell completely apart. My heart was instantly ripped from my chest...and it was a pain I felt in my very soul, and one I never truly recovered from.

Now, here I am, ten years later, and I've finally learned the real reason Bella pushed me away. So, I must prove to her that anything that happened in her past—our past—doesn't change the way I feel about her. After all, soulmates never stop loving each other, and even a decade later, I will make her see that I will protect her until the day I die.

Because you see, we promised one another we wouldn't keep secrets, wouldn't hide parts of ourselves that the other wouldn't understand. Except, well, I lied. Because the moment I find the person who took Bella from me all those years ago, I'm going to make him pay for every lost moment of the past ten years, and nothing—not even the fact I'm a cop—will stop me from inflicting the same level of pain on him that Arabella and me endured all this time.

NOTE TO READERS: Arabella endures trauma no woman should have to suffer. Respectfully, the author invites you to emotionally and mentally prepare before experiencing this book on your own terms, should you choose to do so.

SURRENDER TO ME is book four in the Boggy Creek Valley series and can be read as a stand alone.  For a better reading experience, I suggest reading them in order.

[Release Blitz + Review] Not Happening Again by A.M. Madden

🔥🔥HOT NEW RELEASE🔥🔥

NOT HAPPENING AGAIN by A.M. Madden is LIVE!!

ABOUT THE BOOK.

From USA Today bestselling author A. M. Madden comes a love-versus-lust, unplanned-relationship, stand-alone novel about a romance author who learns that “commitment free” can be anything but.

Some think that every romance author leads a hearts-and-rainbows existence.

But in my case, they’re wrong.

Sure, I’ve had my share of relationships . . . and heartbreak. But who needs the hassle? I prefer to leave love and emotions for my books, because that way I won’t get hurt. And my beliefs provide a stress-free and fun personal life.

So, when a chance encounter with my best friend’s brother-in-law puts me on his radar, and we end up at his place, logic smacks me hard. He is the “love ’em and leave ’em” type. But I’m the one who runs—and I’m the one who claims it won’t happen again.

Until encounter number two occurs. Hey, a woman has needs too.

To say he’s hot would be an understatement. But with his looks comes a level of cockiness usually found only between the pages of steamy novels. And just like a character in my fictional tales, the ever-confident walking orgasm makes me an offer I can’t refuse.

I decide to indulge in Nate Navarro provided I do so in moderation, on my terms, with a modicum of control. He’s my chance to get lost in lust, and you better believe I jump on it.

Who cares that he’s known as a serial bachelor who shuns the notion of love? I don’t. Nor do I get hung up on the fact that the very successful divorce lawyer contradicts my own hearts-and-rainbows profession. It’s just sex. Besides, being with him fits my own agenda perfectly, since he wants a passionate, no-strings-attached arrangement.

Until it becomes more than just sex, more than just an arrangement . . . for me at least.

For him, nothing has changed.

I am such an idiot.

NOT HAPPENING AGAIN is book 2 in the stand-alone series, NAVARRO TRIPLETS.
