" 5 fantastic stars! These 2 have instant chemistry and I’m totally here for it. The pull towards each other is undeniable. This book will have you swooning from the very first pages." -Angie, NOLA504Nerds

I kissed her and she ran.

She was the most beautiful girl I’d ever seen and the way she was looking at me that night, the electric charge between us, had my jeans feeling snug the entire show. When I found her standing alone between sets, I couldn’t help but approach her.

It wasn’t my intention to kiss her. I should have gotten to know her first. Asked her more than her name. But after watching her while I sang my heart out, I wasn’t thinking straight.

That was more than three years ago. When we were both naïve freshmen.

I’ve been watching her ever since. From afar. Like a crazy stalker. (Not my proudest admission.)

She’s even more beautiful than the first time I laid eyes on her. So when I walk into the rec center and find her waiting for me, alone, with lust in her eyes, I pounce. Again. Like an idiot.

Only this time, I don’t feel an ounce of regret because I don’t plan on letting her run away from me again. She’s been my inspiration for years and it’s about damn time she figured it out.

There’s only one way I can do that… I need to sing her the song I wrote about that night.

About her.

I could try to slowly weasel my way into her heart the way she has mine over the years, but I’m sick of wasting time. I want her to be mine today.

Tomorrow.

Forever.

Because the truth is… I’ve been hers since that very first night.

SERIES: Lake State University Series #6

AUTHOR: Rachael Brownell

GENRE: College Romance, Friends to Lovers

RELEASE DATE: July 14, 2022

I’ve wanted her since the moment I first saw her. She was wearing sweatpants and a baggy shirt. Her hair was tucked under a knit cap, her hands wrapped around a large to-go cup of steaming coffee.

We spent hours together that semester. Working. Studying. Talking. Becoming friends.

Friends.

Ha! I never once thought of her as my friend. The only thoughts I had where she was concerned involved us naked and her screaming my name. Over and over again.

But like the idiot I am, I waited too long to make my move. She started dating some jerk and I remained in the friendzone.

They’re not together anymore, though. So when I spot her standing in the bookstore, looking hot as hell, I don’t hesitate. This may be my only shot with her so I’m not going to blow it.

Only, that’s exactly what I do.

Because instead of rekindling our friendship and moving slow, I end up devouring her lips and taking her back to my place. Worshipping her for hours. And almost letting my true feelings slip.

Would that be so bad?

Yes. Because she’s made it clear that we’re friends, even if we can’t seem to keep our clothes on when we’re around each other. Which is why we’re sneaking around.

If she only knew how I really felt, maybe things would be different.

Then again, opening myself up to her could expose my darkest secret. One that I haven’t even shared with my friends, my brothers, the people who know me the best.

Telling her my secret could also set me free. Because when I’m with her, that’s how I feel.

Free.

Of the burden. Of the memories. Of my reality.

Torrid Little Passion is the sixth book in the Lake State University Series. The LSU series can be read in any order as each book is a complete story without cliffhangers.

[Release Blitz + Review] Risky Little Affair by Rachael Brownell

TITLE: Risky Little Affair

SERIES: Lake State University Series #3

AUTHOR: Rachael Brownell

GENRE: One-Night Stand Romance

RELEASE DATE: January 13, 2022

A one-night stand.

That’s all I wanted. All I could handle.

I had enough on my plate. Getting involved with a notorious playboy was not on my agenda. Which is why he was perfect. He didn’t do relationships and I didn’t have time for one.

He’d been stoking my fire all weekend. Whispering dirty promises in my ear. Weaseling his way under my skin. And I was ready to combust.

He agreed to my terms. Probably because I was naked, he was caught off guard, and judging by the tent in his shorts, thinking with the wrong head.

I should have known better than to take him at his word.

Two days. That’s all he lasted before he showed up at my door begging for more.

More than I had to give. More than I was willing to part with.

My time. My body.

Most importantly, my heart.

And when I said no, he persisted until I caved. Not that he had to work very hard to wear me down. He was too tempting to ignore, and I craved another taste.

The only way to protect myself from getting hurt… rules. Some to keep him at a distance, others to keep him close.

Like rule number eight… no other sexual partners. The only dorm room I wanted him sneaking in and out of was mine.

I knew I was in over my head. That what we were doing was going to blow up in our faces as soon as our friends found out. But in the moment, I couldn’t bring myself to care about any of it.

Consequences be damned.

"5 amazing stars! If I were to write a dictionary, under the word perfect would be a picture of Finn." - Angie, NOLA504Nerds

He’s my brother’s best friend.

Which makes me off limits.

My brother made that clear to all his friends the summer I turned fourteen.

That didn’t stop me from falling in love with him. From dreaming about sharing my future with him. From wondering what it would be like to be with him.

It didn’t stop the heated looks he’d send me when no one was paying attention. Or how he always found a way to be near me, to touch me. To protect me.

For six years we were fought against the waves of desire but the current kept pushing us toward one another.

Then I had him.

We collided with hurricane force. Our connection… explosive. It felt right, being with him. With the first kiss, I gave him my heart. With the first touch, I gave him my body. When I saw the love in his eyes, I handed over my soul.

I should have known it was too good to last, though. The next morning, he was gone, and my heart shattered. I left it on his bedroom floor as I did the walk of shame.

It’s been nine months since I laid eyes on him.

Yes, I’ve been avoiding this moment. But I can do this. I can fight my attraction for one night. Even if the moment I see him again, I know that night is going to come rushing back to me, along with the days and weeks of agony that followed.

Because he still owns every piece of me.
