COVER REVEAL: Royally in Trouble by Meghan Quinn

ROYALLY IN TROUBLE, the highly anticipated, sexy and suspenseful sequel to the bestselling royal romance Royally Not Ready from USA Today Bestselling Author, Meghan Quinn, releases on June 6th! Check out this cover!

 

 

I keep telling myself, it’ll all work out… but now I’m not sure we’re going to make it out of this alive.

 

 

I have two responsibilities as the new heir to the throne:

1. Get married.
2. Have babies.

Sure, becoming queen one day is part of those new responsibilities, but as long as King Theo is in charge, I don’t have to add a coronation to my list.

That’s why I find myself in the throes of wedding planning, pre-wedding classes with my broody, over-protective fiancé, and counting down the days until we can finally say I do.

But with every day we grow closer to our wedding, we seem to grow apart.

Our commonalities are tested.
Our faith in each other is questioned.
And our safety is threatened.
The only thing working? The command he has over me in the bedroom.

I keep telling myself, it’ll all work out. We just need to make it to the wedding day. Except, when the day finally comes, everything falls apart.

We might have made it through the last few months together, but now I’m not sure we’re going to make it out of this alive.

RELEASE BLITZ WITH EXCERPT: Runaway Love by Melanie Harlow

RUNAWAY LOVE, a new single dad, small-town romance from USA Today Bestselling Author, Melanie Harlow is available now!

Scroll down for an excerpt!

 

 

If I’m not careful, she might run away with my heart…

 

 

Yes, I’m a single dad who needs a nanny for the summer.

But hire the stranded runaway bride who shows up on my doorstep in a wedding gown with no references, no skills, and no experience?

No one is that desperate.

Except within twenty-four hours, down-on-her-luck Veronica Sutton manages to charm my kids, my family, and half the population of Cherry Tree Harbor into believing she’s perfect for the job.

And for me.

It’s not that I can’t see the appeal-those baby blue eyes? The endless legs? That mouth made for trouble? But I’ve got enough on my plate, raising two kids on my own and keeping the family business alive. I don’t have the time or the inclination to fall for an outspoken city girl.

So I should have kept my hands to myself.

Holding her in my arms was a big mistake. Even worse? Spending the night together. She ignites a possessive fire in me that I’m finding hard to snuff out.

But the most unforgivable? Growing attached to the sound of her laugh, the scent of her skin, and the way her body wraps around mine in the dark.

At the end of the summer, she’ll be gone.
And if I’m not careful, she might run away with my heart.

EXCERPT:

I wanted to tell her it was okay and also ascertain if I could have another shot at getting my tongue in her mouth, but she kept talking and .

“And then grief hit me all over again and I was out here crying and you were finally being nice to me after being such a meanie, and then I probably shouldn’t have put my hands on you but you have a really nice body and it sort of did things to me that I wasn’t expecting and haven’t felt for a really, really long time, and I thought you were going to kiss me and then you didn’t, so I took control of the situation and kissed you—but then it was obvious you didn’t want that, and—”

“Fuck it.” Without waiting for her to finish, I grabbed the back of her head and forced her to stop talking by covering her mouth with mine.

This time it was her turn to go still with shock, and I took advantage of her immobility by opening her lips with mine and stroking between them with my tongue.

REVIEW:

Melanie Harlow launches her new Cherry Tree Harbor series with Runaway Love, a quick, easy-reading and fun new contemporary romance featuring a runaway bride and grumpy single dad. I love Melanie Harlow’s writing style. It lends itself perfectly to the small-town trope. It’s cozy and warm while yet sweet, sultry and so very romantic. She’s also a very descriptive author, immersing her readers into these small towns and the worlds of her characters, and keeping them there with a creative, engaging plots and endearing characters.

Veronica lands in Cherry Tree Harbor on her wedding day after both the event and the relationship implode. Stranded in her wedding dress, she winds up at Austin’s house to apply for the job as the nanny to his adorable twins. A slow burn romance, Austin and Roni seemed to be in a constant state of will-they-or-won’t-they as their relationship built. The chemistry between them was electric, and they really struggled to keep it at bay. Austin’s grumpy nature was a stark contrast to Roni’s sunny yet spirited disposition. The forbidden love aspect of their relationship created a palpable tension that kept me fully invested in their story. The charming small town vibe was a captivating backdrop, and the side characters added depth and interest.

Runaway Love was sweet, steamy, swoony and sassy. I was looking for something lighter-hearted and this definitely fit that bill. The emotion in this story was just right–nothing too heavy, angsty or overly dramatic. With just enough heart, a good dose of humor and a whole lot of heat, this was a feel-good read that I devoured in a day. Runaway Love by Melanie Harlow gets 4.5 smooches from me!

One night with no strings was supposed to be the plan…

 

 

A fake marriage standalone MM romance from #1 New York Times Bestselling author Lauren Blakely writing MM romance as L. Blakely…

One night with no strings was supposed to be the plan.

After barely escaping my last train wreck of a romance, I’ve got a new dating goal—play it cool.

I stick to that strategy when I bump into a charming Brit I met once before. He’s newly out and eager for all the things he’s never done, so I make the helpful suggestion we jet off to the city of sin for the night, then say goodbye.

But instead, thanks to a bet and some bourbon, we’re saying I do.

And in the morning I’m asking myself what the hell have I done? But we’ll just undo the holy matrimony right this stinking second.

Except, the pics of our nuptials are splashed all over the Internet–the pro football player eloped!

Great, just great.

Now, my agent says we need to stay Mister and Mister until the brouhaha blows over.

Thirty days as fake husbands with the sexy, irresistible guy who’s determined to prove that he’s nothing like my ex?

My bruised heart can handle that as long as I don’t fall for my husband.

And I won’t. When we split for real, he’ll be an ocean away.

A spicy friends-to-lovers standalone sports romance from #1 New York Times Bestselling author Lauren Blakely writing MM romance as L. Blakely…

My buddies made me do it. I swear.

I didn’t plan to bid big on a date with my baseball player best friend at the auction. But he looked really good in that tailored suit, and I can’t resist a dare.

The media jumps all over the story – the city’s new quarterback nabs a date with the bigshot star shortstop.

Not so fast – we’re just friends.

Until we hit the links for the strictly platonic date I won. Suddenly I’m looking at my silver-tongued, devilishly handsome best bud in a whole new light–and it’s dark and dirty.

We cross way over the friendship line at my place that night, but in the morning we agree it can’t happen again. Trouble is, we can’t keep our hands off each other, especially not when we’re stuck in the same hotel room at our friend’s wedding.

But Tanner wants a real relationship, and I’m only serious about football. So when my second season as a starter begins next week, our late-night games (and talks, and sleepovers, and morning coffees) will have to end.

Except, as the cutoff looms closer, I’m feeling a whole lot more than friendship and that’s a big problem for my career…

Don’t miss this red-hot, friends-to-lovers, only-one-bed-in-the-room MM sports romance from #1 NYT Bestseller Lauren Blakely!

EXCERPT:

The door is locked, and we stand by the row of marble sinks, his hands on my shoulders. “You okay? You want to leave?”

I take one breath then another.

“I don’t know,” I admit. I don’t know where to go next, what to do, what to say.

“We can hang here until you figure it out,” he says.

He would stay here with me while I sorted out my feelings. He’s that kind of person—the kind who stays.

“He’s not going to change,” I say, resigned. “He’s always going to put me down. But his insults don’t hurt the way they used to.”

“You stood up to him. I’m really fucking proud of you,” he says, gripping the collar of my shirt fiercely.

“You stood up to him too,” I point out.

“No one talks to my husband that way,” Nate says.

And just like that, I know what’s next. “I want to go. I want to leave with you. I want to spend this last night with you.”

REVIEW:

Fans of M/M romance need to brace for Limited Edition Husband by Lauren Blakely writing as L. Blakely. All of Blakely’s work is incredible, but the care she takes with her plotting, the romance build-up and character development in her M/M romances is evident on every single page, and she penned a not-to-be-missed, must-read masterpiece for lovers of the genre in this story. She employs the fake-marriage trope creatively in this contemporary sports romance between American football player, Nate Chandler, and newly out Brit, Hunter Coburn. I listened to the audiobook, and Teddy Hamilton, one of my favorite narrators, positively nailed his performance of the virile yet vulnerable, Nate. James Joseph is a new-to-me narrator, and he completely captured the charm of Hunter’s effervescence and innocence in his portrayal of him. The natural chemistry between these two narrators breathed life into Nate and Hunter, and coupled with Blakely’s addictive writing style and an engaging storyline, I was hooked from start-to-finish.

As is often the case, what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay there. Following a drunken night on the town, the Brit and the baller wake up in a bit of a predicament when they realize their one-night-stand didn’t turn out the way they planned. They got married, and things only become more complicated from there. The plot takes a twisting, turning, smoking hot journey as they navigate through the challenges of their fake relationship. Nate, still recovering from his ex’s betrayal and the end of his marriage, struggles as this fake relationship with Hunter starts to feel pretty real. Hunter—who’s going through trial by fire with the number of first-times he’s experiencing—is a ray of sunshine in their storm with his upbeat, positive personality, which is a breath of fresh air for Nate.

Blakely masterfully weaves the story of Nate and Hunter’s romance in Limited Edition Husband. From their adorable meet-cute—involving some well-placed pie—to the frantic, frenzied realization that they’re married and the passionate, emotional build-up of their fake relationship as it turns into something very real. Endearing characters, an entertaining plot and a steamy love story combine brilliantly to make this one of her most addictive M/M romances to date. Funny, fiery and full of feels, Limited Edition Husband is a stand-out in Blakely’s extensive catalog, and it’s landed on my list of top-favorite reads for the year. Five smooches from me for Limited Edition Husband by L. Blakely!

RELEASE BLITZ: Accidental Attachment by Max Monroe

ACCIDENTAL ATTACHMENT, an all-new secret-crush, forbidden romantic comedy from New York Times Bestselling Author, Max Monroe, is available now!

 

 

Chase Dawson is completely oblivious that he’s the star of the manuscript he just convinced his boss to green-light…

 

 

A successful writer accidentally sends her new (and super-dreamy) editor the wrong manuscript. Instead of the full-length paranormal novel she promised Longstrand Publishing, she sends the fan fiction she’s written about her crush…on him—including every detail of the hot, steamy “physical activity” she’s fantasized about happening between them.

And Chase Dawson may be the hottest man alive and a super-talented editor to boot, but he’s completely oblivious that he’s the star of the manuscript he just convinced his boss to green-light.

Brooke Baker has been through a lot in her thirty-one years of life.

A divorce.
A career change.
A move to New York City from “small-town” Ohio.
Not to mention, she has a bit of a medical condition that involves occasional fainting spells, mild embarrassment, and the companionship of her adorable service dog and canine sidekick, Benji.

But none of it has prepared her for this.

None of it prepared her for Chase Dawson.

Strong jaw, blue eyes, cut muscles, and a perfect swoop of superhero-worthy black hair, Chase’s features are those of a book boyfriend and then some. Obviously, Brooke would know—she literally filled an entire manuscript with it.

A manuscript no one was ever supposed to see.

Will she survive two months of revising and editing the sizzling romance she imagined with Chase in extremely close quarters with him? Or will the constant white lies and overwhelming attraction make her spontaneously combust?

REVIEW:

I absolutely loved Accidental Attachment by Max Monroe! This romantic comedy had me laughing out loud from the very beginning, and I didn’t put it down until I finished it. The characters were so well-developed and had such great chemistry, making their story feel real and believable. The plot was cleverly crafted, and full of the laugh-out-loud humor I’ve come to expect from Max Monroe.

I loved the witty and humorous banter between Brooke and Chase. The slow burn build-up of their relationship was so sexy and worth every single heart-palpitating second. Their interactions were hilarious, and made for some truly unforgettable moments. This was such a light-hearted and fun romcom—the perfect mix of heart, heat and humor. Accidental Attachment by Max Monroe gets 4.5 smooches from me!

REVIEW:

The Hollywood Marriage Bargain was another light-hearted, sexy and entertaining romantic comedy from Lila Monroe! This second-chance romance features a newly single Tessa back in her grandparents’ home town to renovate their B&B. Jackson is in town filming a movie—and trying to rekindle the magic of their romance from ten years ago. The chemistry between Jackson and Tessa was palpable and their banter was witty and fun. Lila’s writing style is engaging and flows well, making for a quick and enjoyable read.

The plot is well-paced and keeps the reader hooked throughout the book. The movie set background created a fun and interesting backdrop, and I loved the glimpses into the relationship pitfalls between an A list actor and a non-celebrity. An amusing plot and a sexy, sweet, swoon-worthy romance about a couple I was pulling for from the start made this an addictive, fun-to-read romance that kept me smiling the whole way through. The Hollywood Marriage Bargain by Lila Monroe gets 4.5 smooches from me!
