Scroll down for an excerpt!

 

 

He’s falling for the one woman he shouldn’t touch – his kids’ nanny.

 

 

Just what every bride dreams of—running straight from her cheating fiancé into the arms of a hot hockey star… and then getting hired as his kids’ nanny.

Tyler Falcon is protective, flirtatious…and frustratingly responsible. We almost did something reckless when he found me alone in my wedding dress, and I blurted out all the things I’d never truly experienced.

Now, the sexy single dad is saving me again with a job I desperately need—and a promise to never mention The Night of 1001 Confessions.

I live in his house. Take care of his kids. Pretend I don’t notice his heated gaze lingering on me after they fall asleep.

Now we have a deal. Five lessons in seduction. No strings attached.

But he’s not just good in bed. He spoils me with thoughtful gifts and supports my dreams. For the first time, I feel like I belong.

Except…this was never meant to last. I’m his employee. He has kids to protect. And neither of us can afford to make a mistake.

The more nights we spend tangled up together though, the harder it is to pretend it’s just physical. Because I’m not only falling for my boss—I’m falling for the man whose kids have stolen my heart.

EXCERPT:

 

Tyler

“Are you a troublemaker, Tyler?”

“Maybe I was. Back in the day,” I say.

Her lips shift in amusement. “Think you’ve still got it in you?”

“Those are fighting words.” I drum my fingers on the counter. “How about trouble in the form of a spicy margarita? Can you handle the heat?”

Her smile falters for just a second, as if I’d asked about more than a drink. “I don’t even know.”

Her blue eyes flicker with something deeper—with uncertainty, maybe, or a vulnerability she’s trying to hide. Or possibly…interest. Since for a moment her gaze lingers on me, roams over me, like she’s trying to figure something out.

Like what she wants me to do to her tonight?

What the f*&k?

That is not a thought I should be entertaining. Too bad my lust-struck mind is already running away with the image, imagining what could have been if she wasn’t wearing that damn ring. Not today, brain. Stand down.

“Let’s find out,” I say, as I resume the role of runaway-bride wingman. I change her order, and when the bartender returns with the margarita, we toast again, her with her cocktail, me with my lager, which—as Ike promised—is incredibly good.

“To the opposite of today.”

“The opposite,” she echoes, her gaze…curious. But I don’t want to read into it even though I want to read everything into it.

REVIEW:

 

The Overtime Kiss by Lauren Blakely is a sizzling, heartwarming forbidden romance that scores a hat trick with an irresistible blend of heat, humor and heartfelt emotion! This single-dad/nanny romance pairs Tyler, the professional hockey player and doting father of two, with Sabrina, his daughter’s fiery skating coach and his children’s new nanny—and who also happens to be the woman he’s secretly crushed on for years. Their chemistry is electric, crackling with every stolen glance and loaded with the kind of witty, flirty banter that makes their forbidden tension utterly addictive.

Blakely masterfully balances steamy slow-burn passion with tender vulnerability as Tyler and Sabrina navigate the risks of crossing professional lines—and the even bigger risk of falling for each other. The single-dad dynamic adds layers of emotional depth, making Tyler’s protective love for his kids and Sabrina’s warmth with them just as swoon-worthy as the scorching bedroom scenes. With her signature blend of humor, heat and heart, Blakely delivers a romance that’s equal parts playful and poignant.

I listened to the audiobook, which was narrated in duet by Teddy Hamilton and Brooke Bloomingdale. Brooke and Teddy both delivered fantastic performances, capturing the chemistry, connection and vulnerabilities of these characters. The Overtime Kiss by Lauren Blakely gets five smooches from me!

EXCERPT:

 

At this juncture, it was important to share that Javi was one of the Hottie Squad.

That was, he was a member of the Nightingale Investigations and Security team.

And they were all the baddest of bad-A’s.

The Angels had a loose association with the boys of NI&S that hinged mostly on Raye living with Cap, and Jessie being loved up with Eric, both of them NI&S men.

Oh, and when the Angels got to the parts of our investigations that might include blood and guns and direct run-ins with bad guys (not to mention the police), the NI&S team stepped in.

But before that, Javi had been a Shadow Soldier.

Nope.

The Shadow Soldier. He’d been the first and he recruited all the rest.

In other words, a vigilante, like the Angels, except they were all men, they had matching tattoos, and two of them sadly got dead not too long ago, so the NI&S team snapped the rest of them up and absorbed them into their operations.

As previously mentioned, Javi was also a man I had a huge crush on, and not just because he was incredible to look at, he had a deep, rough voice that did things to my heart (and other places as well), the most unusual, beautiful eyes I’d ever seen and an amazing body.

No, it was because he had a finely honed sense of right and wrong, and the drive to do something about it, he loved his mom a whole lot, and he treated his men like brothers and grieved the ones he lost like he’d lost his own blood…

And again, as mentioned, the very first time we met, sparks flew. So many of them, I was singed, and the burn felt awesome.

Since then…nothing.

He made no moves.

He made no plays.

None of either, even if he’d had ample opportunity. He was a member of our group. So I couldn’t say I saw Javi every day, but we all hung out together a lot.

Maybe I was wrong.

Maybe those sparks weren’t what I thought they were, firing from us both. Maybe they only fired from me.

Or at least, all evidence was suggesting that.

But now, he was there, messing up our carefully crafted plan to put a stop to Kev’s (and now Trev’s) shenanigans, and that was not okay.

I was also not okay being in this classy, romantically lit restaurant with the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on sitting across the table from where I stood, looking like he was my guy.

My man.

My soulmate.

Therefore, I snatched up my bag and started to flounce away.

And yes, I flounced when I was angry. It came naturally. It was how I moved. I’d tried not to flounce, and it was like trying not to breathe.

I was just a girl who flounced.

I got five feet before my hand was seized in one much larger and stronger than mine, and I wasn’t flouncing anymore.

I was being dragged, discreetly, but being dragged nonetheless.

“Holy shit.” (Luna)

“Oh my God.” (Raye)

“What the fuck?” (Jessie)

“Okay, he’s being an asshole. But it’s still hot.” (Shanti)

In order not to make a scene, I decided to let Javi pull me out of the restaurant and continue to do it even as he nodded to the valet outside who tossed him a set of keys, and then Javi walked us to a big, shiny, granite Toyota Tundra that was parked close to the front doors.

But, let’s face it, I allowed this mostly because he was holding my hand.

It was the first time he’d touched me in that kind of way.

So I wanted it to be about me not making a scene, but it wasn’t.

It was because his hand felt good wrapped around mine. It was big. Warm. I could feel the callouses, so it spoke about him. It said he was a man who worked. He was a man who didn’t put on airs. He wasn’t soft. He got stuff done.

And it was so big, my hand got lost in his, and that felt so…danged…good.

Like he could shelter me. Protect me. Wrap me up in him so the hurts of the world could never get to me.

And…

Yeah.

That was mostly what was on my mind as he towed me to his truck.

He opened the passenger side, and I wished I hadn’t released the surprised squeak that came when he reached under my hair, plucked the earpiece out of my ear (how did he know it was there?!), shoved it in his jeans pocket, picked me up…

Yes, picked me up!

…and dumped me in the passenger seat.

I was stunned immobile by these moves. So much so, he’d closed my door, rounded the grill and pulled himself up beside me before I had a reaction.

But it was too late.

REVIEW:

Kristen Ashley’s Tenderfoot, the third book in the Avenging Angels series, was a thrilling, heart-pounding romance that was an addictive blend of sizzling chemistry, edge-of-your-seat suspense and laugh-out-loud humor! A spin-off of KA’s fan favorite Rock Chick series, Tenderfoot delivers an unforgettable love story between Javi, the brooding, battle-scarred investigator from Nightingale Investigations, and Harlow, the fierce, fearless Avenging Angel who’s known he’s her man from the start. Their chemistry is electric—a combustible mix of fiery passion and deep emotional connection that leaps off the page.

Ashley masterfully balances the pulse-pounding action with a steamy and emotional romance as Javi and Harlow navigate danger, trauma, and the walls around Javi’s heart. The suspenseful plot keeps you hooked, while the witty banter and Harlow’s unshakable determination add levity and heart. Ashley’s signature storytelling shines with crackling dialogue, explosive heat, and a found-family vibe that fans of the Rock Chick world will adore. Tenderfoot is a knockout—sexy, suspenseful, and packed with the kind of love that fights for its happy ending. Five smooches from me for Tenderfoot by Kristen Ashley!

EXCERPT:

 

A voice behind me catches me off guard. “Put hers on my tab, please, Willow.”

I expect to find the mullet man when I turn, but I’m pleasantly surprised. Instead, there’s a tall, handsome—albeit too young for me—man with a deliciously crooked smile. That smile widens, unveiling a set of cavernous dimples. Oh my.

“You are definitely not from around here,” he drawls.

I swivel and face him for a better look. “Oh yeah? Why is that?”

“Because the girls from these parts drink one of three things: White Claws, High Noons, or Jack and Coke. And the third I keep away from because that means they’re going to wind up sloppy drunk.”

“I suppose the reason I don’t drink any of those is because I’m a woman, not a girl.”

Dimples looks me up and down. There’s a sparkle in his eyes when they meet mine. “You sure are.”

I chuckle. He’s corny and over the top, but something about him appeals to me. It could be the confidence. There’s nothing I’m drawn to more than a confident man. Which is why Sam isn’t the first cop I’ve dated.

“What’s your name?” I tilt my head. “Or should I just call you Dimples?”

“Name’s Noah.” He smiles, flashes those things like a weapon, and holds out a hand. “And you are?”

“Elizabeth.” I put my hand in his, but instead of shaking, he lifts my knuckles to his lips and kisses just above them.

“Pleasure. Where you from, darlin’?” He waves his hand. “Wait. Let me guess.”

“This should be interesting . . .” I cross one leg over the other. Noah’s eyes drop to follow before looking up unapologetically and wagging a finger at me.

“I bet you’re from New York City.”

“Indeed I am. What gave it away?”

“You just have that look about you.”

“And what look is that?”

He grins. “Like you can eat a man alive.”

“Considering you’re standing here and just bought me a drink, I take it you enjoy being eaten alive?”

“I don’t mind it.” He leans in, putting his mouth next to my ear, and whispers, “But I’m a gentleman, so I’ll always do the eatin’ first.”

The bartender interrupts, which I’m grateful for because this young’in has got me all hot and bothered. She places another drink in front of me and lifts her chin to Noah. “You want your usual?”

“Yes, please.”

She raps her knuckles against the bar twice. “Coming right up.”

Noah slides into the seat next to me and scoots it over a few inches until his knee is touching mine. “So what brings a city girl down to these parts?”

“I’m visiting family.” I pick up my drink and take a healthy swig, watch the man next to me over the glass. “Tell me, how old are you, Noah?”

“Old enough.”

“Old enough for what?”

He grins again. “Anything you want to do.”

I chuckle. “I walked right into that one, didn’t I?”

Over the next hour, Noah and I talk. Surprisingly, we have a lot in common—even though I did the math when he said the year he graduated high school and know he’s ten years younger than me. Noah is a writer. He pens a sports column for the Louisiana Post, but he wants to write a novel someday. He has a degree in journalism from Tulane, runs half marathons, and is willing to travel for a good meal at a restaurant. He’s read Tolstoy and Faulkner, but prefers to read Stephen King on a night when the wind is howling. And he’s currently remodeling his house all by himself, rather than hiring people.

After my third drink, I’m relaxed enough to forget the reason I’m down here for the first time since crossing the state line. But my gut tells me the man next to me could make me forget my name for a while. So even though I rarely take up with a man under forty, I decide to make an exception. Noah excuses himself to go to the men’s room, and I wait a few seconds, then hop down from the bar stool and follow.

I look around to see if anyone is watching before opening the door and slipping inside. Noah is facing the urinal. He doesn’t turn until he hears the clank of the lock. When he does, his eyes go wide.

I grin. “You can finish up.”

He chuckles and turns around. “Haven’t even started yet. But suddenly I think it can wait. Whatcha doin’ in the men’s room, beautiful?”

“Seeing if you’re worth going home with.”

RELEASE BLITZ: Look at Her and Die by Lani Lynn Vale

LOOK AT HER AND DIE, an all-new mafia romance from Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author, Lani Lynn Vale, is out now!

 

 

While he’s solving her problems, he’ll make her his along the way.

She’ll never see it coming…

 

 

Posy “Doc” Hicks has high blood pressure. All thanks to a certain hazel-eyed blonde who drives him absolutely insane in her short shorts and cowboy boots.

At first, Searcy Hodges is just a passing fancy.

A look but don’t touch kind of girl.

She has a bad attitude, an even worse bedside manner, and a chip on her shoulder the size of Texas.

It would be wise to stay away, even if that attitude of hers really does great things for him.

But how is a man supposed to stay away when her temper is just that spectacular to experience?

He’s literally watched Searcy make one of her customers cry and not care.

She’s the poster child for ‘don’t do this if you want to stay in business.

Yet, everyone keeps coming back.

And she keeps shelling out the attitude.

He’s a grown man. He shouldn’t get as much enjoyment out of watching the woman struggle.

He should be figuring out his own life, not wanting to dig into hers.

But the moment she breaks down in his arms and asks him for help, setting aside the attitude and exposing her vulnerability, he finds it impossible to say no.

He’s a Truth Teller. A biker with a hero complex. A paramedic and a former SEAL.

It’s literally ingrained in his psyche to help, and it’s painfully obvious that Searcy could use everything he has to give.

And while he’s solving her problems, he’ll make her his along the way.

She’ll never see it coming.

I got what I wanted. I became buddy-buddy with my boss in an instant. But the cost will be hefty…finding a husband by tomorrow.

Unfortunately for Scottie, her boss has a solution – a one-on-one session with the best marriage counselor in the Northeast, who happens to be her boss’s husband.

With no way out of her lie, Scottie agrees to see him. Frantic, she calls in help from her best friend who sets her up with his brother, an improv-obsessed millionaire.

Enter Wilder Wells. More than happy to take on the job, he teaches Scottie the main rule of improv: Always say yes. But the rule backfires during the session when Wilder signs them up for an eight-day summer marriage camp with all of Scottie’s co-workers where she’ll have to share a cabin with her way-too-handsome fake husband.

EXCERPT:

 

“I can feel your energy.”

Feel our energy? Coming from the guy tossing a football around during our session?

“It’s charged. There’s still a spark, and if you’ll allow me, I’ll help you  turn that spark into a full-blown inferno.”

Yeah, not interested. Thanks though.

I’m about to tell him that we’ll discuss this when Wilder and I get home, but before I can even put on an expression of gratefulness, Wilder  jumps in and ruins everything. “How?”

Nooooo.

Visions of shoving my shoe into his mouth cloud my brain as I hold back the feral cry of anger bubbling up inside me.

Dude, we were good.

We were on our way out.

Stop making bad choices.

“I’m glad you asked,” Sanders says with a touch of perkiness in his voice as he stands from the coffee table and moves over to his desk. He sifts through a mound of papers and then pulls out a brochure.

What the hell is that?

“Starting Monday, I’m putting on an eight-day marriage camp up in the Catskills. I only invite a select few couples. We spend eight days talking over our feelings and rediscovering the original spark of connection. I have couples on the verge of divorce like yourselves and couples who come to rejuvenate their marriage.”

A marriage camp?

He’s got to be joking.

“Like a summer camp for adults?” Wilder asks, looking far too interested for my liking. He reaches for the brochure, but I snag it from Sanders before Wilder can even lay a finger on it.

Oh no, you don’t, mister. Don’t even freaking think about it. “Precisely. Like a summer camp for adults,” Sanders answers. “We focus on bonding techniques, open conversations, and finding the true  reason why we fell in love in the first place. It’s activity focused, so if you think we’re going to be sitting on a couch all day, that’s not the case at all.”

“Oh good, because I’m not good at sitting still,” Wilder says.

What do you mean, oh good? No, we don’t show interest in adult marriage camps. We don’t show interest in any sort of resolution. I need to nip this before it gets out of control, before I end up spending eight days up in the Catskills with a man I don’t know, trying to work out our nonexistent marriage. But I need to tread carefully, because I don’t want to look like the bitch who doesn’t want to work on her relationship. Clearing my throat, I peruse the brochure and nod slightly. “This all looks so nice, but I don’t have enough vacation days to make this work—”

“Oh, that’s nothing you need to worry about. Ellison always gives time off to attend my camps.”

Of course she does.

Sanders looks between us, a smile stretching across his face. “So what  do you think? Want to give it a shot?”

“This is so nice,” I say again, “but—”

“We’d love to,” Wilder says, taking my hand in his as he lovingly looks in my direction. “I’m self-employed, so I don’t need to worry about vacation time from work.”

Did he just say what I thought he said? Did he just agree to a marriage camp for eight days?

“Fantastic,” Sanders says and then picks up his football and tosses it over to Wilder. To my horror, Wilder catches it, gets off the couch, and starts charging toward Sanders, jukes him out, and then spikes the ball to the office floor before raising his hands in the air.

“Touchdown.”

Yup, he’s getting my shoe. The heel right to the esophagus.

SYNOPSIS:

 

I got what I wanted. I became buddy-buddy with my boss in an instant. But the cost will be hefty…finding a husband by tomorrow.

Scottie Price just started a new job, and it’s a real sausage fest. She’s the only woman on a team filled with Brads and Chads. Expecting a bachelor pad atmosphere, she is quickly corrected when she finds out everyone is happily married.

In an effort to impress her boss, Scottie mentions her nonexistent husband in a company meeting. But eagle-eyed Chad points out her lack of wedding ring. Panicked, Scottie creates a story about her unhappy marriage. Unfortunately for Scottie, her boss has a solution – a one-on-one session with the best marriage counselor in the Northeast, who happens to be her boss’s husband.

With no way out of her lie, Scottie agrees to see him. Frantic, she calls in help from her best friend who sets her up with his brother, an improv-obsessed millionaire.

Enter Wilder Wells. More than happy to take on the job, he teaches Scottie the main rule of improv: Always say yes. But the rule backfires during the session when Wilder signs them up for an eight-day summer marriage camp with all of Scottie’s co-workers where she’ll have to share a cabin with her way-too-handsome fake husband.

REVIEW:

 

Till Summer Do Us Part by Meghan Quinn is a laugh-out-loud and utterly swoon-worthy romantic comedy full of adult summer camp vibes! This irresistible fake-marriage romance pairs Scottie, the quick-witted copy editor in desperate need of a husband, with Wilder, her best friend’s brother—a laid-back, improv-loving retired tech millionaire who’s all too happy to play the role. Their chemistry is electric, crackling with razor-sharp banter and simmering tension as they navigate the hilarious (and steamy) pitfalls of forced proximity situation.

Quinn’s signature humor shines as Scottie and Wilder’s pretend relationship blurs into something achingly real, blending laugh-out-loud mishaps with heartfelt vulnerability. While the feel of their summer fling-turned-something-real was playful and spicy, Wilder’s effortless charm and Scottie’s relatable insecurities made their journey equal parts sexy and soul-stirring. With its perfect mix of wit, warmth, and toe-curling tension, this brother’s-best-friend fake marriage, forced proximity love story may have begun with a pretend “I do,” but a very real love grew between this couple on the emotional rollercoaster of their romance. Five smooches from me for Till Summer Do Us Part by Meghan Quinn!
