When a famous music producer moves to Lake Starlight it can’t just be a coincidence. It’s the universe helping to move things along in the right direction so that Griffin Thorne can discover me.


 

 

I have to confess—I’ll do whatever it takes to make that happen.

 

 

 



Confession #1: I may have overhead that he was in search of a nanny. What can I say? My brother has a big mouth.

 

Confession #2: It’s possible I helped along the assumption that I had nanny experience. Hey, babysitting my nieces and nephew counts, right?

 

Confession #3: There’s a good chance I oversold my qualifications. But my Grandma Dori backed me up, so it’s not completely my fault.

 

And it worked. He hired me. Only for me to find out that he left the business. 

 

I guess it’s on to Plan B.

 

When he accidentally overhears me singing, I expect nothing from him. Then he asks to work with me on a song for our town’s Founder’s Day Parade and it feels like a dream come true. Until…

 

Confession #4: I’ve fallen for him.

My Review…

The Baileys

I love being immersed in the world of Lake Starlight and the Bailey family!  The only thing missing was the Buzz Wheel stories, but I have a feeling the author is about to come to light soon!

This is Phoenix’s story, she is the youngest of the Bailey clan and a self-proclaimed black sheep. I love her tough exterior and her sassy attitude.  But I also empathize with her fragility and her bucking the trend and becoming something of her own.

Now I know this is Phoenix and Griffin’s story, but it is so much more.  I love how each story in this series brings us closer and closer to the whole Bailey clan.  The heartbreak and the happiness.

Yes there is a bit of an age gap between Griffin and Phoenix, but come on, it’s not that big of a gap and they fit each other so well.  I enjoyed seeing Griffin’s passion for music and his passion for Phoenix come to the forefront of this story. I also wanted to shake him and smack him upside the head for making decisions that were not his alone to make, but all comes through at the end!

Readers, do yourself a favor and get this book and all the books in the Baileys series.

My Review…

This final book in the trilogy was amazing! This story of Elisabeth and Carter has brought me full circle.

I was unraveling, I was in anger and shock and then I was breathing a huge sigh of relief!  True love and family doesn’t care about blood and DNA, it cares about the people you choose to be in your world.

The secrets and lies are going to bring you down a rabbit hole that almost feels like there is no end.  Then Ms. Allen takes you gently by the hand and leads you to the promised land of love and happiness.

This trilogy was epic in the richness and diversity of the characters and the storytelling was on fire with the drama, the steaminess, and the plot twists.

I was turning the pages until the very end and even when it was over, I still wanted more!

I love the fact that Ms. Allen was able to bring a part of her other series into this.  A bit of a tease for future stories?  I hope so!

This story, this whole trilogy is worth every minute of reading!

My Review…

A Cocky Suits Novel

I am really enjoying this series by Mr. Howell and Mr. Wolf!  This band of brothers and the women that take over their world is really fun, smexy and the heroines rock!

This is Dexter and Abigail’s story.

Dexter is the peacekeeper in the family, well as well as a Collins man can.  He is trying to make a bigger name for himself within the family’s law firm, he is also trying to mend the bridge that was burned between the oldest and the youngest brothers in the family. He feels like he has everything he needs in his world until he meets Abigail, and then he realizes he needs her.  I loved the softer side of Dexter, his romantic side was stellar! The things he did for Abigail was amazing!

Abigail, this gal, despite her age was fierce in her independence.  Almost too fierce, but I admired it.  But sometimes she was blinded to the world around her and maybe that was because of her age.  I like that there was a realism to her character.  She was the perfect mix for Dexter.

The collaboration between Mr. Howell and Mr. Wolf is seamless and so well written! The true testament to a good writing team is not being able to differentiate between the two and this with series it’s epic.  Can’t wait to see Donovan’s story next!! Oh and what’s going on with Rick Lawrence? That’s a character that I need to know more about!

My Review…

Wow…just wowza…this book!! Ms. Fisher is gonna take you down a deep, dark rabbit hole and won’t let you see the light until she is ready to let you go.

The Wives takes you on a dark and twisty tale.  What’s reality, what’s delusions, what is love and what is hate?  So many questions and the answers are gonna floor you!

Thursday is the central character of this story, she is on the search for the truth in her world. But to find that truth, she has to go through so, so much!

Ms. Fisher has a magic to her words! I couldn’t put this story down once I started.  I went through a whole gamut of emotions when reading this! With every character, I could find a reason to admire them and then hate them!  I was second-guessing myself as I was reading this and that was amazing to me!  Who was the victim? Who was the perpetrator?  Who was the hero/heroine?  Even at the end, I was wondering who to really cheer for in this story.

This is the definition of a thriller!  This story is going to take your mind on a wild ride and you are going to need a minute or a day when you finish to really let the amazingness of this story to settle in!

Bravo Ms. Fisher!

The Setup, an all new contemporary romance by #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken, is LIVE!

Copy of TheSetUp_ebook_HighRes.jpg

The first day she was sitting by herself — I felt sorry for her. After all, it couldn’t be easy wrangling all the testosterone at Wingman Inc as one of the only female office managers.

The second day she literally counted her carrots during break — she had seven by the way, right along with seven sips of her drink in between taking seven tiny little bites of the first carrot.

Now I’m not one to brag, or maybe I am, but math and science fascinate me, so do problems. And this woman screamed puzzle from the way she ducked her head every time anyone looked at her, to the way she counted food and tapped the table when she didn’t think anyone was watching.

I’d like to think I took pity on her that day when, in fact, she was the one that took pity on me and asked if I needed a friend. She assumed I had a learning disability since I’d been staring so damn hard.

Things would have ended there, except, my bosses need someone to test the new Wingman App and since I was the only single guy on the floor — I was nominated, right along with the only single woman, the same one who thinks I need to use my fingers to count.

Apparently rumors of my sexcapades throughout college reached even her ears, because she wants nothing to do with me, which makes beta testing a bitch. I have thirty days to win her over and prove myself to my bosses.

One thing’s for certain, I’m going to have to buy a hell of a lot of carrots.

My Review…

The Bro Code Series

Oh, this final book in the Bro Code Series is on fire! All hail the curvy gal and the evilness of shapewear!

This is Finn story and what a heckuva surprise did Mr. Titus have! “When a woman is beautiful, she should be told over and over again until even she belives it…”  Good gracious, Ms. Van Dkyen you sure know how to make a gal swoon!! Finn is funny, sweet and I love that he goes after what he wants.  Even if it’s with blinders on, and he sometimes loses the forest through the trees, he still knows what he wants.

Oh, Jillian, this is a girl after my own heart!  She is a bit adorkable, a bit shy and a whole lotta tempest in a teacup!  She is fighting against herself with her feelings for Finn.  I can totally relate to her fears! She has some real-world issues in front of her and some issues of the heart that scares her silly.

I am so in flove, that’s right flove, with this series from Ms. Van Dyken, you will too!

BLURB

West Larson comes from old money—the kind of wealth that comes with expectations steeped in archaic traditions. So, it’s not surprising when he learns the conditions of his trust fund: produce an heir before he turns twenty-five.

Enter Stacia Kellan. Her lowkey personality makes her the perfect baby mama…without the drama. And thanks to her wild-ass hair, colorful tattoos, and smart mouth, she’s exactly the kind of girl his parents would never approve of. Add in the fact that she’s a total smokeshow…knocking her up certainly wouldn’t be a hardship.

Stacia lives her life fast and loud. The idea of settling down isn’t on her radar. So, when her long-time friend asks her to have his baby, her immediate answer is a big, fat hell-to-the-no. Seriously, is he crazy?

West pulls out all the stops in wooing her and with every heated encounter, Stacia finds herself falling a little more for his charm and wit. Oh, and his forearms…yum.

Obligations. Lust. Friendship. Love.

The lines begin to blur as emotions enter the equation and besides, everyone knows you can’t deny your rebel soul.

Release Date: January 6th

 

Add to Goodreads:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46781411-one-blissful-night

 

 

Blurb:
“Promise you won’t break my heart, Brax.”

He promised. I believed.
Brax Kent was a liar.
He shattered every possible piece of me.

Several years passed before I got through an entire day without shedding a tear.
My existence was hollow, empty, bleak.
Hate was the only thing that pushed me through the day.

Seven years later, who turns up to be my next door neighbor?
The man I despise with every ounce of my being.

And now he wants me back.
With flowery words and sworn oaths full of apologies, he begs.
Can this man who ruined me be trusted?
Only his obstinance, persistence, and beautiful face weaken my resolve.

And I stupidly expose my heart as he wedges himself inside, bit by bit.
Surrendering completely may mean absolute love, or absolute destruction.

The choice is mine.
Cross the line in the sand, or stay in my safe zone.

*One Blissful Night is a complete stand alone, enemies to lovers, contemporary romance, with no cliffhanger.

 

 

Excerpt:
Once upon a time there was this prince. He was a fairly decent guy, but then one day he drank some pretty nasty poison. It didn’t kill him but made him do stupid things. The kind of things that smart princes would never do. And when the poison wore off, he discovered he’d ruined the only thing that had meant anything to him. But instead of trying to fix it, he was afraid. Afraid that what he’d done wasn’t fixable. So he spent the next seven years of his life regretting he ever drank what was in the cup. Then one day, he had a chance to make amends, but he really didn’t know how. He looked into his crystal ball and couldn’t find the answer. The only thing he saw was the face of the beautiful woman whose heart he’d broken. He decided to ask her how he could make it up to her, because he figured that was the only way he’d ever know if he’d ever have a chance of making things right again.”

“What did she say?”

“She hasn’t answered him yet.”

“Maybe she’s afraid.”

“What if he is too?”

She was looking my way, but her sunglasses blocked her eyes. It was difficult to get a read on her.

“Perhaps she has more to lose than he does.”

“Debatable. Seems they’ve both lost too much already.”

It was painful being this close and not able to touch her, even her hand. So I stood and said, “I’m going inside. I think I’m getting a bit sunburned myself. Enjoy the rest of your day, Ren.”

I folded my chair and went home. When I got into the house, I watched her for a minute. She turned to see if I was still outside, which I wasn’t. She went back to sitting there, but a few minutes later, she packed up and went home, leaving Sutton alone on the beach. I wondered if she was as lonely as me. But then I remembered she had that assface Parker to keep her warm at night.

AUTHOR BIO:

Lana Brazen is the alter ego of a bestselling contemporary romance author who believes romance doesn’t need to end just because you crossed over forty. In a fantasy life, she was an anthropologist, a journalist and a world-famous novelist on the level of F. Scott Fitzgerald. None of that has happened. Instead, she’s written over twenty romances, mothered four children and remains with the one and only. Sometimes, she likes things a little hotter, spicier, raunchier than contemporary trysts, and so begins this chapter. 

 

EXCERPT:

The Doctor Will See You (excerpt) by Lana Brazen

I didn’t know what I’d gotten myself into. Recently divorced, I’d met a young woman who just listened to me rant. I didn’t know why I felt the need to expound my current sexual status on her, but the dating apps had frustrated me. Who could you trust on there? Singles adventure clubs? The annual fees were high, and only half the activities interested me. And then there were the simple singles bars, which I entered once before turning right back around and leaving. 

Being unmarried sucked in this aspect. The issue was I still wanted sex. I didn’t want to be alone with only my fingers. I wanted the feel of a man—the wet of his tongue, the curl of his fingers, and the strength of his hands on me—and I was getting desperate.

“Have you ever considered swinging?” she suggested, and I nearly fell off my chair. A southern Florida coffee shop seemed like the last place to have this kind of discussion and with a stranger, no less, but she didn’t look like a social deviant. In fact, she looked normal. Average in height, dark brunette hair, the body of someone still youthful, with friendly eyes, and a wedding band.

“Never thought of it,” I said after choking on my tea. 

She paused for a moment as if she were assessing me and then added, “Not everyone who swings is married. Some are in relationships, and some are single. People participate in all manner of combinations. Couples who want a third party or a single participant looking for a couple who shares. Sometimes, it’s just a mutual agreement between three, but the term comes more so from those looking to experiment within a relationship.”

I stare down at my paper placemat, uncertain how to respond. It sounded crazy and a bit obscene, but I wasn’t one to judge. I was jealous, in a way. Maybe if Stan and I had experimented more or been a bit more adventurous, things wouldn’t have gotten to the point where they ended. Especially with him in the bed of his secretary. 

“Here’s my name,” she said, offering it on a paper napkin along with a phone number. “If you have any questions. Otherwise, I’d recommend contacting this number. He’s a doctor.” She winked after handing me the napkin, and I took it, smiling good-naturedly even though I knew I’d never call. 

However, the numbers haunted me, and a week later, when I was cleaning out the old receipts in my purse, the napkin remained intact with her perfect script and two phone numbers, the second marked with an asterisk. 

“Dr. Lubton’s office,” a masculine voice answers on the second ring, and the professional confidence in his voice surprises me. 

“I…I’m looking for the doctor.” I swallow back the sudden stutter. “Jessica DeMarco suggested I call.”

A heavy pause of silence weighs through the phone for a second, and I wonder if I’ve lost the connection. “Hello?”

“Were you looking for a full exam?” he questions, and I remember Jessica mentioning to request such a thing. I nod, and then recall he can’t see me.

“Yes.”

“And will your husband be joining you?” I blink down at the napkin, pinched between my fingers.

“I don’t have a husband.” Silence falls again, and after another weighted second, I ask, “Do I need one?” 

A soft chuckle fills the line, reassuring instead of mocking. “No.” Pause. “But may I ask if this will be your first exam of this sort?”

Closing my eyes, I think, What am I doing? I’m no longer certain, and not certain how to answer, so I go with the truth. “Yes.”

“I see, and for the purposes of an initial consultation, would you prefer an assistant be in the room?”

Did I want someone else present? A witness to my humiliation? Again, I wasn’t certain what exactly I was getting myself into, any more than I knew how to answer the question. Deciding that embarrassing myself in my lack of knowledge should best be done alone, I reply, “I think I’ll be okay without one.”

“Very well.” There wasn’t a hint of a smile or frown in his tone, but the continued smoothness of a true doctor. Good bedside manner. I want to laugh out loud at the pun. Instead, I wait for his instructions on how to proceed.

“I have an eleven o’clock on Thursday open.” It’s strange to consider he does this more than one time a day with more than one person, possibly more than one person at a time, and I realize I’m at great risk of making a fool of myself. Not to mention, can I muster my libido midmorning on a weekday? Remain open-minded, I remind myself. He called it a consultation. Maybe he really is a doctor. Maybe we only discuss options. Maybe he can explain what’s happening to me at forty-five as a single woman, previously married, and desperately seeking pleasure. 

“Thursday would be fine,” I say, knowing my calendar is flexible. I’m a real estate agent. The southern Florida market ebbs and flows based on weather predictions and the hurricane season. I’m mildly successful but wish I was doing better. Older people are a key to my accomplishments, and I fear one day I’ll be classified as one of them. Old. 

“Please dress comfortably and be prepared to sign a consent form.” The instructions surprise me, and once again, I nod. “I look forward to meeting you.”

 

 

 

My Review…

Pure Pleasure Series…

A new pen name for an author I stalk religiously!! Sign me up!

Get your fans, cool mist machines, or crank the A/C because this intro into the new world of Lana Brazen is hotter than the hinges on Hades gate!

This is the story of Lana and her plunge into the world of role-play, sexual awareness and self-discovery.  After getting a tip and a phone number from an acquaintance, she schedules an appointment with Dr. James Lubton.

This story is fast-paced and I couldn’t put it down until the very end.  The exquisite details of the appointments that Lana keeps with the good doctor is breathtaking and left me gasping and cheering her on!

I was delighted to see this author go a bit naughtier and carnal, yet keeping with her style and flow of her other works just makes it even better!  I loved these characters hard and loved the fact that the characters are older.  Both Lana and Dr. Lubton have the maturity, yet have a chemistry that would rival couples that are decades younger!

I cannot wait to read more stories from Lana Brazen!! Keep them coming and keep them hot!  Well done!
