Excerpt

“If you two will excuse me, I have to use the ladies’ room,” I say, and point at my empty glass. “Can you ask for another martini for the road?”

“High altitude,” Jeannette warns me. “Two more and you’ll be showing your favorite pair of panties to the entire restaurant—and this time you won’t be able to claim it was an accident.”

She cackles and I think she’s the drunk one of the two of us.

“Bitch,” I growl and march to the bathroom thinking about how I’m going to get back at her.

I swear she’s so loud, a few tables around us hear her and give me the look. Maybe I should tell her wife some embarrassing stories from when we were young. There’re plenty of those. That might keep them around for a couple of hours—at least one more hour. It’s too early to go back to the hotel.

On my way to the restroom, I try to come up with the best one. Then pull out my phone to see if I have any old pictures. I don’t pay much attention when I enter the restroom, put away my phone, and enter the stall. After I’m done and while I’m washing my hands, I know exactly how Jeannette is going to pay for what she just did.

“Well, this is either a treat or the worst invasion of my privacy.”

I jump and shriek. My heart beats fast but I spin around toward the unexpected male voice. I’m not sure where I should concentrate my attention, his handsome face or the thick and meaty treat he’s holding in his hand.

Yummy, talk about girth and length.

“Wait, what are you doing in the ladies’ room?”

He laughs while putting away his well-endowed package. “I didn’t know they had urinals in the ladies’ room.”

“In the what?” I shriek and look around the bathroom.

And fuck if this isn’t worse than the airport. It’s Jeannette’s fault. She distracted me.

“Oh well,” I say, smiling. “I leave you with your …”

“You should show me something to make up for what just happened,” he says, with a hinting tone. “You know a tit for tat.”

“What?” I cover my boobs. “No.”

“Come on, at least show me those lacy panties everyone saw at the airport.”

“How do you know about my panties?”

“You and your sister don’t know the definition of inside voice,” he says and my cheeks heat up. Well, I gave a show to the entire restaurant. “At least, I think she’s your sister. You two could be twins, you know.”

“We are twins,” I clarify. “And no, I won’t be showing you anything.”

He winks at me. “You liked what you saw, we could have a party with him as long as you’re willing to share.”

My Review…

Wow! What an absolutely fabulous collection of stories by Ms. Burgoa!

This is the complete series of the Ahern Brothers, Wes and Sterling, and the women they fall for.

The first two stories Begin with Me and Back to You is Wes and Abigail’s story and it is going to put your feelings through the wringer!  I mean you get the full gamut of emotions.  And the love that these two have for each other is spectacular! Their relationship is something of dreams! The swoons are aplenty and the angst and trauma are so vivid and real.  What a sad and destructive childhood Abigail had and the things that Wes does to make Abigail feel safe.

I also enjoyed that even though they loved each other, they knew they both had to work out their issues apart. They both had to learn to love themselves before they could truly love each other.

Then we get the steamy hot holiday story of Sterling and Juniper!  Once Upon a Holiday is like a warm cup of cocoa with a kick of spice! It was lovely to read that Sterling gets his redemption and he learns to love himself and the love he has for Juniper is fabulous! This story was too fast and over too soon! I love the artistic soul of Sterling and the controlled chaos of Juniper.  They are truly an opposites attract kind of couple. I love that no matter how much Juniper plans and coordinates her future, nothing ever goes right until Sterling came into her life!

These Ahren Brothers are some of the swooniest heroes I have read in a long while! I enjoyed every page!

Ruthless Creatures, an all-new explosive standalone romance from J.T. Geissinger is coming February 19th, and we have the smoking hot cover!

An explosive new novel of love, lies, and obsession from bestselling author J.T. Geissinger

Five years ago, my fiancé disappeared. Left me with a wedding dress I’d never wear. Left me
with the kind of scars that can’t be healed. The man I built my future on vanished like a ghost.
All that remained were my broken heart and unanswered questions.

Until a mysterious stranger arrives in town.

Tall, dark, and dangerous, Kage is as full of secrets as he is sex appeal. Though I know he’s
hiding something, I’m drawn to him like a moth to flame.

The intensity of our connection is addictive, unlike anything I’ve ever felt before. Heat crackles
between us with every look, desire flares into passion, and I fall hard, helpless to resist.

But when I discover how he’s tied to the darkness in my past, I learn what happens when you fly
recklessly into fire:

You get burned.

My Review…

Oh my heart! This second book in the Kings of Football series is perfectly perfect!

As a long time fan and an avid reader of all of Ms. Quinn’s books, it was heartbreaking and swoons aplenty and brought some old characters back to the limelight. My most favorite book in Ms. Quinn’s library and I won’t name it but they come back!

This story of Crew and Hazel and their international trip of a lifetime. They were childhood friends that unfortunately drifted apart. But when they both lose someone close they are brought together to travel overseas on a trip that was planned by their dying loved one.

To see Crew and Hazel rekindle their friendship was beautiful. To have them realize they are soulmates was breathtaking. To see the struggle for both Crew and Hazel as they navigate the future made me cry. You are going to feel all the feels with this story and this “family” which is more than just blood, you are related by heart, love and soul.

But to read the ending, by far the most amazing.

See My Review Below!!!

She’s the girl who might be worth staying for.

Stay For Me by Corinne Michaels is now live!

From New York Times Bestselling author Corinne Michaels comes the final poignant love story in the Arrowood Brothers Series.

Hollywood taught me everything I know about relationships–except how to be in one. As an actor, I became an expert at faking it. Faking that I wasn’t affected by my childhood. Faking that I was okay. Faking that I knew how to save the day, the girl, the whole damn world.

But I’ve always known the truth–I’m no one’s hero.

Until I’m forced to move back to Sugarloaf for six months, and Brenna Allen offers me a chance to prove otherwise. She’s everything I never knew I wanted, but can’t have. Her broken heart, perfect face, and adorable children turn my world upside down. Instead of preparing for my next leading role, I’m directing a middle school play.

All to make her smile.

The more time I spend here, the more I want to stay. Build a life in this town that I swore I’d leave–for her.

But when the world comes crashing down around us, I’m forced to decide if staying for her is the right choice or if leaving is better for the woman I love.

My Review…

The Arrowood Brothers

Oh my me, what a bittersweet finale for this amazing series!

This is Jacob’s story.

Jacob is the last Arrowood brother to fulfill his obligations to the legacy his father left. He knows his stay in Sugar Loaf is temporary and he looks forward to returning to his life as an actor. And then Brenna enters his world and the sparks fly. Jacob is honest and upfront.  He also tries hard to keep his feelings to himself, he knows how things in his world operate and he is afraid to bring Brenna and her kids into the mix.

Brenna is trying to rebuild her life and her children’s happiness after the loss of her husband.  She is a military wife.  She is a rockstar.  I want to applaud Ms. Michaels’s portrayal of Brenna’s character.  As a military wife myself, I appreciated the honesty and raw emotions and feelings that Brenna had.  I could sympathize with the character on a deep and personal level.  It made me so much more invested in this story.

I loved the different sayings that each Arrowood brother had and how it really fit each brother.  Mama Arrowood was an angel of a mom.   

This story was a perfect ending.  I loved how Jacob and Brenna navigated the relationship. I laughed, I cried and I was sad to see this end.

Excerpt

River

“Why is the elevator so slow?” she mutters.

“Tell me three things you’re grateful for,” I say.  

She does a double take. “Is this where I’m like your…pet project? Don’t feel sorry for me.”

Rainbow, sorry is the last thing I feel for you. 

I want you under me. 

Deep and hard.

“How are things with Donovan?” I ask.

Her throat bobs. “I-I can’t talk to you about him. I mean, yeah, um, it…doesn’t feel right, you know, to him.” 

Right. He’s her boyfriend and my frat brother.

The door opens and she slips out, her arm brushing against my chest. I follow, sucking down the electricity between us. 

She blows out a breath. “I know what this is, why you’re being nice to me—”

“Yeah? Tell me, because I can’t figure it out,” I snap, annoyed she won’t open up while the other side is pissed at myself for asking. “Trust me, I wish I didn’t…” I stop, my jaw clenching.

She stops at the door to class and faces me. “Your paper. I’m sorry I can’t help you, I really am. I love helping others, but I don’t think it’s a good idea for us…” She bites her lip, her gaze avoiding mine. “There’s something about you and me—” She halts and looks down at her feet. “Anyway, I know a few students who tutor athletes. Let me give you their names—”

“No one but you, Anastasia.” 

“What? Why?”

Instinct takes over and I back her against the wall, towering over her. I tilt her chin up, and she doesn’t speak or move, just breathing fast, as my hand slides around to her nape. A hum of heat goes through my body as my hands tangle in her hair. 

“River…what…” Pink rises on her cheeks as her lashes flutter.

Every time, I’m pushing a little more, the dark side of me winning. Monday. Her apartment. Now.

I could kiss her right now, but it’s wrong, immensely, and I’m being bad, so bad…

She gazes up at me, her eyes flaring, the gold around her pupils darkening. She swallows as goose bumps appear on her neck.

A primal sound builds in my throat. 

Anger. 

Frustration. 

Loyalty.

Dammit. I shouldn’t be this close, shouldn’t touch her—

“I’ll wait.” I grind my teeth and step back.

Her lips part, a small puff of air coming out. She looks at my mouth. “For what?”

The lethal side of me, the one itching to play this game no matter the consequences, tries to take over and speak the truth. I shove it down. 

You, I say in my head.

Leaving her there, I sweep past her and go to my seat. 

Five fucking rows back.

THE RELATIONSHIP PACT by Adriana Locke
Release Date: December 17th

Synopsis
How hard can it be?

That was the question rolling around Larissa Mason’s mind just before she asked Hollis Hudson to be her fake boyfriend.

It was only supposed to be for five minutes, after all.

Granted, that was also before she felt his hand on the small of her back as he charmed the heck out of her family.

She hadn’t heard his laugh yet either.

And it was definitely before she saw the football god shirtless. Otherwise, she would’ve had an idea of just how hard some things could be.

It turns out that pretending to be in love with a crazily handsome, somewhat enigmatic, and absolutely unforgettable tight end (that has an amazing tight end) is easy.

Reminding herself that just because opposites attract doesn’t mean they’re forever is much harder.

What they have isn’t love—it’s a relationship pact. Right?

My Review…

Let me start off by saying I am not a huge paranormal fan, I tried and tried with no luck. So when the opportunity arose to read and review this newest book by Ms. Hoover, I was cautiously optimistic.

This story, which is the first paranormal romance by Ms. Hoover, took me on a wild ride and I absolutely enjoyed it! 

This story of Layla & Leeds. A whirlwind romance, a horrible tragedy and the tale of what comes after.

The flow of this story is fantastic and kept me invested in the characters until the very end.  I went through a myriad of emotions when reading which is a true testament to the talent that Ms. Hoover weaves with her words.

The twists in this story are going to make you gasp and then make the story even more clear.  I would have never guessed the outcome!  Ms. Hoover is able to make the unbelievable believable and I’d like to think that the whole premise of the story could be a possibility! 

As I said before, I am not a huge paranormal romance fan, but this story has started to change my way of thinking! 

Staci Hart has a brand new rom-com standalone coming January 26th! Bet the Farm is a heartfelt, flirty story of opposites attract and I cannot WAIT to read it! Mark your calendars and pre-order your copy today!

Amazon | AppleBooks | Kobo | B&N | Goodreads

A very unladylike grunt grated out of me.

Every muscle engaged as I hauled a ridiculous pink suitcase off the baggage belt of the tiny airport. The curl of my toes kept me braced. My glutes were hard enough to bounce a quarter off of. Shoulders bunched, abs engaged, fingers burning.

It was more than I’d worked out in a year.

In that moment, I second guessed everything I’d packed to come home to California, even though I’d been absolutely certain every article of clothing was necessary at the time. But when I stumbled backward from the force of finally loosing my luggage, I questioned the rain boots. And the overalls. And all that plaid. But I was back at the farm after two long years, and I had to look the part.

The worst part of growing up on a dairy farm was being lactose intolerant.

Butter and cream, ice cream and cheese, and tanks brimming with milk. Growing up, it was inescapable, and as a sweet, innocent child with no clue of the tragic fate my digestive system had in store, I didn’t have to escape it. I remember sneaking hunks of cheese from the creamery and eating until I was sick in the hay loft. Or sitting across from my grandfather, warm brownie and teeming glass of fresh milk before us, the sounds of crickets floating in on the breeze through the open windows of the farmhouse.

These days, it was almond milk and soy cheese, margarine and sorbet. I’d abandoned cream, opting to drink my coffee black, which made me feel like a true badass—no easy feat at five feet and change, with hair the color of a penny and enough freckles to find constellations in the array. I was about as badass as a paper towel or a guinea pig or a carrot. Or a guinea pig on a paper towel eating a carrot.

When the suitcase wheels were on the slick tile floor of baggage claim in the eensy airport, I brushed my hair back from my clammy forehead, scanning the belt for my other suitcase.

It was equally as ridiculous a shade of pink as the one I propped myself on to catch my breath, a bright bubblegum hue, fit better for a little girl than a grown woman. A New Yorker, no less. But I couldn’t bring myself to curb the inclination to the color. It was a color that instantly brought cheer—you couldn’t tow a suitcase that vivid and hopeful without getting the distinct impression that everything would be all right, regardless of where you were going.

Even a funeral.

Olivia Brent has one summer to save the dairy farm she just inherited.

But there’s one problem, and it’s not her lactose intolerance.

Jake Milovic.

The brooding farmhand has inherited exactly fifty percent of Brent Farm, and he’s so convinced the city girl can’t work the land, he bets she can’t save it in a summer. 

Determined to prove him wrong, Olivia accepts what might be the dumbest wager of her life.

His strategy to win seems simple: follow her around, shirtlessly distracting her between bouts of relentless taunting. And it’s effective—if his dark eyes and rare smiles aren’t enough to sidetrack her, the sweaty, rolling topography of the manbeast’s body would do the trick.

What they don’t know: they’ll have to weather more than each other. 

Mysterious circumstances throw the farm into disarray, and with the dairy farm in danger, Olivia and Jake have to work together. But when they do, there’s more to fear than either of them imagined.

Because now their hearts are on the line, and the farm won’t be the only casualty if they fail.

Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life — a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can’t forget that. She’s also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She’s been a wife, though she’s certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She’s also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she’s been drinking whiskey. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.

My Review…

Right now I am slapping myself, why you ask? Because this is the first book by KC Enders that I have read and it was fantastic!! As of now, I have all the rest of her books on my Kindle, waiting to be read!

Even as a reader that isn’t really familiar with the world that Corinne Michaels has created (but I am going to remedy that soon too!) this story can be read as a total standalone.  You are going to get invested hard with these characters and I was sad when the story was over! I wanted more!

This story of Chloe and Miles drew me in from the start!  This is a story of loss and finding love again.  I love how the universe was giving Chloe hints about her future! 

Miles too has experienced a great and terrible loss, I was intrigued by the way that Ms. Enders slowly revealing Miles’ past, it made me as a reader focus more on the type of character of that Miles was. And he was swoony!! 

There was a fresh sense of reality with this story, there was humor, heat and a whole lot of heart.  Everything I love in a story! This gave me all the feels! I caught myself laughing and even crying a bit and that to me is a true testament of a well-written story.

Now I am going to go to Ms. Enders previous stories, pour myself a whiskey and get lost in the world that she has created!

Blurb:
Going home for the holidays is supposed to be joyful and relaxing.
Until I land in Chicago and reconnect with Evan Holt.
Cue anxiety, hopeful star eyes, and sweaty palms.

Three years ago, the ambitious lawyer and steadfast single dad broke my heart.
That hasn’t stopped him from appearing in my dreams or lingering in my thoughts as a big, unanswered “what-if?”
Now, I’m back, he’s here, and I’m volunteering to babysit his son Ollie.

Slipping back into old routines with Evan is easy.
It isn’t long until I’m desperate for his touch, longing for his smile, and giddy to see him at the end of each day.
But our spark is about to be snuffed out.

As things between Evan and me heat up, my past comes roaring back.
In the shape of a man who damaged me a million times worse than Evan, forging my jaded heart.
In a dangerous threat that looms larger the closer Evan and I become.

Three years ago, Evan Holt didn’t fight for me.
This time, he’s not backing down.
I am.

My Review…

This new story by Gina Azzi is going to keep you turning the pages until the very end! Full of heart, heat and the right amount of angst this story is going to keep you invested!

This is the story of Evan and Charlie.  

I absolutely admired Charlie! Her self-preservation skills were amazingly honest and real.  I so empathized with her and I was cheering her hard. She knew she deserved more and her past has shown her that she deserves it!  She is definitely one of my favorite heroines!

Evan, oh my me Evan…I could understand his hesitancy.  I admired his strength to do the right thing, but it broke my heart to read it. 

When they reunite, after years apart, you can see how both Evan and Charlie have changed and become better versions of themselves.  It was swoony to see the sparks fly between them and I almost applauded when I saw the strength of character that both Charlie and Evan showed.

The flow of this story was perfect, I liked how the passage of time was written, it didn’t bog the reader down, and it made the story even more realistic.

I have yet to read a story by Ms. Azzi that I haven’t fallen in love with.  Healing My Heart is absolutely no exception!
