WHEN AUGUST ENDS

A standalone contemporary romance novel

by NY Times, USA Today, and #1 Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author Penelope Ward

What do you do when a sexy, older man moves into your family’s summer rental?

Well, apparently, you make a fool of yourself—over and over. Things didn’t exactly get off on the right foot with Noah Cavallari. Our first encounter was embarrassing, to say the least.

But despite that, I found myself waking up every day with a new-found energy. Nothing exciting ever happened on the lake—not until Noah moved into the small boathouse on our property. He’d booked it for the entire summer…and I was still trying to figure out why.

When my mother became ill, I inherited the responsibility of making sure our guests were well taken care of. I should have been in college. Instead, I was living my best life…as a maid.

Dark, handsome, and mysterious, everything about Noah screamed forbidden.

I knew he was just passing through town for the summer.

I knew he was probably too old for me.

Yet, I was drawn to him.

Not to mention, he tried to save my life when he mistakenly thought I was drowning.

I wanted him and made no secret of it.

His own attempts to warn me away soon gave way to late-night moonlight chats by the lake. We were slowly easing into a friendship that was gearing up to explode into something I might not recover from.

Because he’s leaving at the end of the summer.

And I have no idea what I’ll do when August ends.

Irresistible by Melanie Harlow Release Blitz

By Danielle Palumbo in Reveals & Tours

**IRRESISTIBLE, an all-new fun and swoony standalone from USA Today bestselling author, Melanie Harlow, is available now!**

Title: IRRESISTIBLE

Series: CLOVERLEIGH FARMS (#1)

Author: MELANIE HARLOW

Genre: CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE

Release Date: FEBRUARY 25, 2019

Irresistible FOR WEB.jpg

“Sexy, heartfelt–did I mention sexy? With the perfect touch of the forbidden, Melanie Harlow has outdone herself with single dad Mack and Frannie’s story!”

— Ilsa Madden-Mills, Wall Street Journal bestselling author

———————————————————————————————————-

I’m a full-time single dad to three daughters and CFO at Cloverleigh Farms. I don’t have time to fall in love—I’m too busy trying to run a business, keep the red socks out of the white laundry, and get the damn pillowcases on without owing a dollar to the swear jar.

Sure, Frannie Sawyer is beautiful and sweet, but she’s twenty-seven, the boss’s daughter, and my new part-time nanny—which means she’s completely off-limits. It’s bad enough I can’t stop fantasizing about her, what kind of jerk would I be if I acted on the impulse to kiss her?

(Exactly the kind of jerk you’re thinking.)

Actually, I’m worse than that—because I didn’t stop with a kiss, and now I can’t stay away. She makes me feel like myself again. She reminds me what it’s like to want something just for me. She’s everything I ever needed, but nothing I ever imagined.

I’m a former Marine. I should have had the strength to resist her from the start.

But I didn’t. And now I have to choose between the life I want and the life she deserves.

Even if it means giving her up.

When August Ends by Penelope Ward Review

SYNOPSIS:

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.

What do you do when a sexy, older man moves into your family’s summer rental?

Well, apparently, you make a fool of yourself—over and over. Things didn’t exactly get off on the right foot with Noah Cavallari. Our first encounter was embarrassing, to say the least.

REVIEW:

I’m going to be honest here and say the whole older man, younger woman trope isn’t one of my top favorites. But something about this blurb grabbed my attention, and I was looking forward to this story, albeit a bit tentatively. The heroine, Heather, is billed as an awkward, bumbling young girl making a fool of herself in front of the hot older guy, but that just wasn’t how I saw her. I saw a young woman being brave enough to take a few risks, put herself out there for something she wanted. I was impressed by her reactions – or lack thereof – to his rejections. She didn’t pout, throw a tantrum, slink off or hold a grudge. She took in what he had to say, she processed it, and instead offered him her friendship. Heather’s back story isn’t an easy one, but it’s made her wiser, stronger, more experienced in some areas while still retaining a bit of youthful naivete, wonder and exuberance in others. Heather was mature well beyond her years, and while I normally have a hard time connecting with a heroine so young, this character endeared herself to me quickly, and I definitely grew to respect her.

Noah took me a bit to warm up to as well. He was unapproachable and gruff at first, but as the story unfolds, I couldn’t help but fall under his spell. He was generous and kind, and though he fought it mightily, he ultimately couldn’t stop his building feelings for Heather. In true Penelope Ward fashion, though, this is a slow burning romance, and Noah and Heather initially forge a friendship as they repress their feelings for each other. But it was through that friendship that they really got to know each other, and the buildup of their love story was sweet and satisfying and sizzling with chemistry.

I enjoyed Noah and Heather’s journey to happily-ever-after. I couldn’t help but root for this couple once their story evolved, and I was practically bouncing in my seat when their friendship turned to romance. A sweet and sexy, slow burn journey to true love, Penelope Ward’s When August Ends gets four smooches from me!

EXCERPT:

~ARDEN~

I’m most definitely a planner, but I never planned to be a good girl.

Honestly, I didn’t even think twice about good girls versus naughty ones. I always figured with sex and love, you could have it all.

That’s what we’re taught as women, right?

You can be prim and proper during the day and wild and daring at night. Or the other way around. Whatever floats your banana boat.

But somehow over the years, I inadvertently landed on the “nice” half of the divide, so squarely in the good-girl camp I’m practically the poster child of oh-so-sweet, and I can’t seem to get a crack at the other side.

Only, I keep peeking over the fence, peering, wondering.

What if the grass is greener? What if I’m missing out on something better in the bedroom and, by extension, something better in life and love?

There’s only one way to find out.

Ask.

The trouble is, when it comes time to woman up and make a request for what I want to try at the ice cream stand of sexual flavors and favors, I wind up with so much more than I bargained for.

More than I’m ready for…

And with so much more to lose than I ever expected.

Guess I’m about to learn if it’s better to be naughty or to be nice.

REVIEW:

As a fan of Jordan Marie’s since her first book was released, it’s a given that if she releases it, I will read it. I hate to pigeonhole an author, it’s not fair to them. But I don’t think I was the only one of Jordan’s readers who automatically thought of gripping, gritty, raw and deeply emotional MC romances when they thought of her work. A little over two years ago, though, that changed when she released The Perfect Stroke. Turns out that sexy romantic comedies are another genre that is totally in Jordan Marie’s wheelhouse. She’s a natural, and looking back over the entirety of her work, I really shouldn’t have been surprised. She totally she nailed it, and it’s because this author is exceptional storyteller.

Knocking Boots takes readers back to the beginning, before Gray and CC, to fan-favorites, Ida Sue and Jansen. This, folks, is where the Crayola Gang began. This book was so funny and so very sexy with Ida Sue and Jansen’s off-the-charts chemistry and their effortlessly witty, back-and-forth bantering. We see the Ida Sue’s nine kids as, well, kids—and we even get to see Hamburger as a calf, and not as the bovine version of a canine that he’s grown to be over the years. But most importantly, we learn the stories of Ida Sue and Jansen and how they were before they clicked together and became whole. This couple’s relationship has always been fiery and rock-solid, and while it definitely started out fiery, it was a bit more rocky before they got to the solid part. It was a fantastic look back at this family’s beloved matriarch, her personal history and that of the man who loves her endlessly.

Side-splitting humor, steamy romance and the spirited characters readers have come to love, Jordan Marie takes fans back in time to where it all started. It wouldn’t be a Jordan Marie story with a punch to the feels, and she delivers those blows between the belly laughs and passionate encounters. Five smooches from me for Knocking Boots by Jordan Marie!

REVIEW:

I’m an unrepentant, loud-and-proud Lauren Blakely fan. Immersed in any of her books is a happy place for me. She’s a slam dunk for me because she consistently gives me what I’m hoping for when I reach for a romantic comedy or a contemporary romance. Just when I think she can’t top her last book, she comes out with the next one, and it steals my heart in a whole different way. Lauren Blakely always gives me what I want to read, and she does it with a writing style that is an addictive and creative blend of warmth, wit and romance. The kinds of stories that make me smile and swoon and that leave me happy when I’m done.

The friends-to-lovers trope is a top favorite of mine, near and dear to my heart, and Blakely put a fun spin on it here with a good-girl who wants to be naughty and her fireman best friend who she enlists to help her learn how. Arden and Gabe had a solid foundation of friendship to build on, and it was the comfort of this relationship that gave Arden the guts to approach Gabe with her plan. She had no idea that Gabe was harboring more than just friendly feelings for her, and in approaching him with her request, she gave him the opening he’d been hoping for. These two knew each other well, and their comfortable and easy-going relationship made for some witty, finish-each-other’s-sentences, back-and-forth bantering. Gabe’s Greek God good looks and charming personality didn’t escape Arden’s notice, but she had him pegged all wrong with some of the assumptions she’d made about him, and I enjoyed the heck out of him dispelling them.

Blakely has a fantastic sense of humor that she uses liberally in her storytelling, and it was plentiful in this book. I pretty much perma-grinned my way through most of this story largely because of Arden’s utterly pragmatic approach to her proposal. The things she want to try and learn, and the specific ways she proposed that they tackle them, really showed the reader exactly why she needed these lusty lessons in first place. Sweet and oh-so-sexually-naïve Arden just never factored romance—or even attraction—into this scenario because she was totally oblivious to the possibility that sexy, ladies-man Gabe could be interested in her.

One of the things I love most about Blakely’s novels is how richly she develops her heroes and the special insight into her male leads she gives her readers. Gabe’s inner dialogue was five-alarm-fire hot during his titillating torture sessions with Arden, and it was there that readers got a glimpse at his vulnerable side, too, when his thoughts moved to the what he really wanted with her. He also had an endearing side, something he showed repeatedly not only with Arden, but also in his relationships with his family and in his natural calling to help others. While Blakely doesn’t hesitate to put obstacles in her characters’ paths to happily-ever-after, she doesn’t draw it out with painful or angst-fueled plot devices to do it. Her stories have the right amount of conflict—just enough to keep things interesting—before she brings her characters to the other side of it together. Honestly, one of the reasons I read is to escape real-life, real-world drama, so I find Lauren’s approach in that aspect of her plots a much needed and very refreshing change of pace.

Flirty, fiery and a whole lot of fun, Best Laid Plans was a feel-good story about what happens when friendship is set on fire. Arden and Gabe’s love story was full of heart, humor and heat, and I simply didn’t want to put it down. Five smooches from me for Lauren Blakely’s Best Laid Plans!

Release Date: FEBRUARY 21, 2019

WHNK Cover.png

I never learn my lesson.

And I always want what I can’t have.

When Sarah Henderson walks into my life, I tell myself she’s off limits. She’s my student, sixteen years younger than me, and my boss’s niece. It doesn’t matter that I see the same pain reflected in her eyes that I have in my own, or that the dead organ better known as my heart kicks to life when she’s around.

I’ve been here before, and I know how this ends.

It’s been two years since I fell for the last woman I knew I couldn’t have, the one with the ring on her finger that I chose to ignore.

Two years of trying to overcome that heartache when Sarah slides into my life.

Another woman I can’t have. Another woman I can’t stop myself from wanting.

I never learn my lesson, but with a constant reminder of how that last forbidden love burned, I think I’ve finally learned this one.

This time, I won’t chase what’s off limits.

This time, I’m staying away.

And I’ll keep telling myself that until I believe it.

About Kandi:

Kandi Steiner.jpg

Kandi Steiner is a bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing “emotional rollercoaster” stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance — in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you’re a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she’s your gal.

An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women’s Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.” She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a diehard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.

When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, talking with her extremely vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys live music, traveling, anything heavy in carbs, beach days, movie marathons, craft beer and sweet wine — not necessarily in that order.
