One Baby Daddy by Meghan Quinn Review

4.5 SMOOCHES!

SYNOPSIS:

“What are you doing now that your team is out of the running for the Stanley Cup?”

Forget.

I need to forget. I need an escape.

Only one person isn’t falling for my reputation as the NHL’s Golden Boy; she captured my attention the minute she called me out for snooping through my best friend’s house. She didn’t want to hear my reason–she only wanted to playfully give me a hard time.

Adalyn is bold, sassy–and the perfect escape.

She’s everywhere. In town and in my dreams, and suddenly I need to spend every waking moment with her.

And I do, making this summer the best off-season I’ve ever had.

But in the midst of getting lost in Adalyn, what I don’t expect is to get her pregnant.

And what I definitely don’t expect is having to fight for her affection.

 

REVIEW:

Meghan Quinn has done it again! She is a go-to for me when I need a romantic comedy with her signature one-two punch of humor and emotion. I’ve love this whole series, and I’m sorry to see it come to an end. I have enjoyed these characters so much, and the entire premise of the series was fresh, fun, sexy and thoroughly entertaining.

One Baby Daddy, while technically a standalone, is the third book in the Dating by Numbers series, and follows the story of the third bachelor, Hayden Holmes or #TeamJock, from the first book in the series, Three Blind Dates. I loved Hayden so much. It goes without saying that he was totally hot, but he was also a really great guy.  A total sweetheart, Hayden was gentlemanly, romantic, kind and thoughtful. An NHL rookie, he’s in Binghamton, NY, his childhood hometown, to decompress after a difficult season-ending loss. It’s there that he meets Adalyn, a nurse and friend of his childhood best friend, Racer.

Adalyn is a new nurse, having just graduated from college, and she’s working at her first nursing job, grueling schedule and all, in the local hospital. The youngest of 8, Adalyn’s older siblings, including a sister and six brothers, did more than just prevent her from dating, they effectively sheltered her. She has no experience with romantic relationships—she’s never had one.  She is totally unprepared for the instant spark she feels when she meets Hayden, and more than that, she’s a little leery of it. Their chemistry was off the charts, and while this was definitely a slow burning romance, their attraction smoldered and simmered and built the entire time. An eruption of passion ends in an unplanned pregnancy, and before they can even deal with that, some surprising news upends their entire relationship.

Quinn really outdid herself creating this hero—I think he may be my favorite one of hers. One Baby Daddy was a page turner filled with Quinn’s quirky sense of humor and her uncanny ability to build deep emotion where the reader least expects it. I devoured this story, and I’ll be honest—there’s a part of me hoping and praying that she’ll eventually revisit these hockey players in their own series. One Baby Daddy by Meghan Quinn gets 4.5 smooches from me!

Marble isn’t the only thing that’s hard at this museum.

His body is as chiseled as Adonis. His lips are as sculpted as David. And his ego is the size of the Guggenheim.

You know the type—wolfish smile and the gravity of a black hole. The kind of man who sucks all the air from the room the second he enters it. My cocky boss thinks this internship was wasted on me, and he doesn’t hesitate to let me know.

But he’s wrong, and I’m going to prove it to him. If I can stay away from his devil lips, that is. Lips that cut me down and kiss me in the same breath, leaving me certain he’s on a mission to ruin my life.

And maybe my heart.

BLURB

Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills and USA Today bestselling author Tia Louise are back with an all-new romantic comedy filled with Southern sass and steamy scenes that will have you laughing out loud and fanning yourself. Pour the sweet tea and get ready…

“The best way to get over your sh**ty ex-fiancé is to get under a shiny new stud…”

As soon as Mr. Tall, Blond, and Handsome walks into that bar, I know he’s the hook-up I need to get over stupid Cheater Kyle.

A few stolen kisses in a dark hallway, and I’m pretty sure we’re headed for a home run—until he disappears without a trace.

Whatever. Men are all snakes in the grass, and I don’t need a new one anyway.

I resolve to forget about his perfect lips (and chest of steel) and instead focus on turning my Granny’s old beach house into a profitable B&B.

What I don’t expect is for him to show up the next day in my kitchen!

You see, my sexy mystery man is none other than Jax Roland, the drop-dead gorgeous home improvement star of The Right Stud, and he’s got an offer I can’t refuse.

With a suitcase in one hand and a hammer in the other, he wants to move in and renovate my old house while he films his new show.

But my roommate has secrets, and they threaten to rip our blossoming friendship—and possible love—apart.

When push comes to shove, is Jax really The Right Stud or is he just another nail in the coffin of love?

Vanilla and Vice by Tabatha Vargo and Melissa Andrea Release Blitz with Excerpt

Vanilla and Vice is LIVE! 

Now LIVE! Vanilla and Vice by Tabatha Vargo and Melissa Andrea.
A recovering sex addict meets an irresistible virgin. 

 

VANILLA & VICE
My sick obsession with domination and sex had become an addiction, and I was no longer willing to be a slave to it.  Now, I’m six months sex free, and I haven’t tied a woman up in five.
I’ve never felt more powerful in my life.
Then Eden Vaughn got a job at Empire Sevens and turned my newfound control on its head.
She makes me feel weak and tests my restraint, silently begging me to show her how deep my addiction runs. I can’t have her sort of temptation in my casino, and I’ll do whatever it takes to get her to quit.

 

I’m into all things dark and filthy, but innocence is my kryptonite. She’s virtuous and vanilla, and vanilla is my VICE.

Andrea’s Addicts 
 
 
Crashing onto the black leather couch in my office, I reached down and undid the button on my slacks and slid the zipper down.
My cock was hard and angry, tight from the pressure of an unfulfilled promise.
I gripped it, hissing at the pleasure and pain. My balls ached, begging me to give in.
And so I did.
I tugged up, rolling my head on the back of the couch with a sigh. Stroking up and down, careful to put pressure where I wanted it most, I worked my cock until the pain in my balls slowly dissolved, leaving only pleasure.
I closed my eyes, envisioning Eden’s sweet smile. I imagined her looking up at me through her lashes and grinning.
She wanted me.
She wanted to taste me.
She wanted me to fuck her so hard and so fast that she screamed and came all over my throbbing dick.
In my imagination, she dropped to her knees and took me into her warm mouth, her tongue swirling around my engorged head before she tickled the hole a bit with the tip of her tongue.
She worked her hand down my shaft, her mouth following the path until she took all she could into her mouth. My tip sliding into the back of her throat until she began to gag a bit.
Her saliva coated me, warming my dick and lubing it as her mouth worked up and down on me.
“Yeah, angel, just like that,” I whispered. “Suck my cock, baby.”
If only my imagination was real.
If only she were there, kneeling in front of me like a virginal sacrifice and servicing me to the edge of insanity.
I pumped harder, the pleasure so extreme I was starting to feel dizzy. My breathing was rough and fast, my hips tense as I thrust into my palm.
In my mind, Eden was reaching down and palming my balls, massaging them as her sweet sucking and tugs pulled my orgasm from deep inside.
I was getting closer the more she sucked.
The harder she sucked.
She licked.
Massaged.
It was so fucking good.
“Fuck, angel. That feels so fucking good. You want me to come in your mouth, don’t you? You want to taste me? Want my cum to cover your tongue before you swallow it?”
In my mind, she nodded, sucking harder as I reached the end.
Then the sound of my office door echoed throughout the room, and I opened my eyes to see Eden standing there looking at me. Watching me jerk off while in my imagination she was blowing me.
I couldn’t stop.
I was too close to the end.
Too close to the pleasure I had denied myself for the past six months.
Surprisingly, she didn’t leave and slam the door behind her.
Instead, her eyes dropped to my hand, and her eyes went wide.
“Don’t move,” I said as I continued to pump my cock. “Just stand there and let me look at you.”
She obeyed, going stiff as she stood in the doorway of my office without moving.
Her eyes followed my quick movement, and she bit her lip like she was enjoying it.
“Do you like watching me?” I asked, not really expecting her to respond.
She didn’t, and I was fine by that.
Through her dress I could see her nipples hard and peaking, needing to be nibbled and sucked.
My fist tightened, and I pumped harder, feeling the slow rise of my impending orgasm as it crawled down my spine and tickled my hips.
Her cheeks were crimson. She was blushing so hotly, her body spotting in red flushes. She gripped her fingers together, the tips turning white from her strength.
Was she holding herself back from me?
Did she want me as badly as I wanted her?
I almost asked her to come to me, lift her dress, and let me fill her sweet little cunt with my juice, but I had already fallen too far. I didn’t want to make my relapse worse.
Her eyes shifted, turning away from me and landing on the wall beside my head.
 “Don’t look away,” I demanded. “I want you to see the moment my cum spills for you.”
Her eyes went wide, but she listened, continuing to watch.
“Fuck,” I muttered. “Just your eyes on my cock while I jerk it is doing it for me.”
Her eyes dipped to my dick, and her tongue peeked out and swiped across her top lip like she wanted to taste me.
That was all it took.
I came.
I exploded so hard I growled like a fucking savage, which was appropriate since I felt like an animal.
Wild.
Uninhibited.
On the verge of total chaos.
It was the best fucking orgasm I had ever had in my life from jerking off.

BLURB

I’ve always been a good girl.

I work hard, I follow the rules, and I always achieve my goals.

But sometimes good girls want things that aren’t good for them.

Or someone who isn’t good for them.

Like their new boss.

And sometimes they do very bad things to get his attention.

Like sell their virginity in an auction.

Who knew he’d be so very, very mad?

Maybe this was not my best laid plan…

 

 

 

 

EXCERPT

He pulls me to my feet and he kisses me and he tastes like me and it’s dirty and shocking and sorta oddly thrilling and primal. He unsnaps my bra. The straps slip down my arms until it falls to the floor and then I’m naked. I’m naked with Rhys. This is the best day of my life. Except he’s not naked.

“You’re still dressed. Am I supposed to”—I gesture to his shirt—”am I supposed to or are you supposed to? Or do you like to keep your clothes on when you have sex?”

He laughs, his eyes dancing in amusement as he unbuttons his shirt and shrugs it off. “No, I’m not going to fuck you with my clothes on, Lydia.”

“Oh, thank goodness. I’ve really been wanting to see you naked. For a long time. Like weeks. Since the bar. The first time at the bar, not the second time. Can I take off your pants?” My fingers hover at his waistband, poised to unbutton and unzip but needing the nudge of permission.

“Please,” he says and then my fingers are in motion, unbuckling, unbuttoning, unzipping. It’s harder to do this in reverse, removing someone else’s pants instead of your own, but I manage. I’d manage even if it was a thousand-piece puzzle instead of just a zipper and a button because I want his pants off pretty badly.

When I’ve got the pants undone they drop to the floor and then the only thing separating me from sex is a pair of briefs, so I make short work of those.

He’s beautiful. Head to toe. I could spend all night looking at him, all month, forever. But I don’t have forever or even all night since Rhys is worried about his schedule so I take in as much as I can as fast as I can. Because oh, holy crap, I know what Rhys Dalton looks like naked. The smattering of hair across his chest. His toned abs and flat stomach and the trail of hair from his belly button to his cock. The birthmark on his left hip and the definition of the lines that form on his abs. I send a silent prayer to baby Jesus that I’ll get a good look at his butt before this is over because I need to know exactly what it looks like under those suit pants. Then too soon, he’s moving me onto the bed because this is it. This is the sex.

Too Bad So Sad by Lani Lynn Vale Cover Reveal

Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Series: Simple Man
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release: August 8th
Model: Franggy Yanez

Cover Designer: Cover Me Darling

About TOO BAD SO SAD

Tyler Cree has never been good at the whole look and don’t touch thing.
From the moment he was old enough to walk on his own two feet, he’s been looking for trouble.
Trouble comes in many forms…quite a few of those forms being the female persuasion.
Tyler knows what girls want—a bad boy. And he has the bad boy image down pat.
Ex-military—check.
Hot cop—double check.
A bike between his legs and a devil may care attitude—oh, yeah.
All the girls want him, yet none of them will have him—at least not all of him, anyway. A certain appendage they can have all they want. His heart, however, is not up for grabs. The useless organ inside his chest was broken and battered, mutilated by the one woman he thought would keep it safe.
Spoiler alert: she ripped it to shreds and set fire to the pieces.
To protect himself, Tyler keeps everyone at arm’s length, and never lets anyone get too close.
Then Reagan Rose Alvarez barrels into his life, and trespasses on not only his property, but straight into his abused heart. One glance is all it takes, and he’s suddenly thinking about things he hasn’t thought for quite some time—thoughts that a man like him should never have about a woman like her.
One moment of weakness is all it takes, and suddenly he has no other choice but to go on the offensive.
Keeping her is the only other option now.
Turns out, his heart isn’t as broken as he thought it was.
The only problem is, now the little she-devil holds it in the palm of her hands, and she has no clue just how much power she holds.

THE VARLET (and the VOYEUR)

William Moore is a long way from home. A farm boy from Oklahoma, he’s now the most well-respected member of the Irish rugby team.

Joesy Kavanagh is a self-proclaimed mess, but she’s finally get her shi…uh, act together. She’s set her sights on becoming a veterinarian, but there’s one teeny tiny road bump. Her living arrangements are coming to an abrupt end, leaving Joesy homeless and in need of a job to pay her way through college.

THE PLAN

What he needs is a companion to keep him on the right path.

What she needs is an apartment with free rent.

Will is convinced Joesy will make the perfect companion, since she’s brutally honest and basically ‘just one of the guys.’ Joesy is convinced she can ensure Will doesn’t succumb to his voyeuristic proclivities by keeping a scrupulous eye on him.

Except, what happens when the varlet is tempted by the voyeur, and vice-versa?!

Perchance something very, very volatile. And vexing.

Company Ink by Kat Colburn Review

3.5 Smooches

Synopsis

Office intrigue takes on a whole new meaning in this story of love, friendship, and the secrets hiding in plain sight…
The Company has a rule about falling in love on the job.
I’ve never been one for rules. But I need this one. I need this rule to remind me why I can’t be with Dani Wallace.
I need this smart little foul-mouthed fighter by my side more than I need her in my bed. I need her to close this massive deal. She thinks it holds the key to her escape from cubicle hell and another shot at the life she always wanted.
But there is more riding on our success than she can possibly ever know.
So I’ll keep my hands to myself and my secrets safe for one more day.
But now I can’t stop wondering what my best friend has on beneath her conservative suit. I can’t stop imagining the things that sharp mouth of hers could do to me if I leaned back in my chair and unzipped my pants. And I can’t stop pushing our flirting too far.
I’m trying to remember the rule. But some rules are made to be broken.
This kindle book is free for Kindle Unlimited subscribers. Fans of slowburn friends to lovers stories that are steamy, funny, and slightly suspenseful will enjoy this novel. There is no cheating and an HEA. Promise.

Review

Dan may want more from Dani than just being colleagues, a lot more. But that doesn’t mean he can just give into his desires. Neither can she. The strict no fraternising policy in work has made sure of that. But when things start to heat up, it’s hard to resist. But Dan knows the secrets he is keeping close to his chest could be enough to extinguish the flame between quicker than any rule in work.

“I’m losing my best friend. I always knew that this was a possibility. That she would finally get fed up with my secrets and my bullshit reasons that I can’t be with her. And yet I can’t go back to the way things were. I can feel the light being sucked from my life.”

If you are looking for a slow burn, office, friends to lovers romance than this will suit you nicely. It was a good read, just not a great one for me. However I do think it is a perfect read for those looking a nice easy romance story. I really enjoyed the characters and I liked the fact it wasn’t an insta love story; they build their chemistry over a period of time and it made their story a lot more believable.

“I know I hurt her, but what she doesn’t know is I did it out of love. I love her. I love her so much that it hurts, quite literally. My chest aches at the thought of how close she currently is and the wall that separates us. There is nothing temporary about how I want her. I turned her down tonight to give us a slim shot at a future.”

Dan and Dani (didn’t like the similarity in names but that’s a personal preference) are both enjoyable characters to read about and get engaged with. Dani is one head strong, smart and determined women. She’s had her heart broken and has learnt some hard lessons when it comes to office romance but she doesn’t let this stop her from wanting to reach her goals and she’s not going to let the broken heart shatter her. I could admire her attitude and I was definitely keen for her to come out of this story on top. We know from the blurb that Dan is keeping a secret and that this secret has the potential to hurt Dani, but even so, that didn’t stop me from liking him. He’s confident and sexy but I also loved how he initially had a friendship with Dani and as you read on it becomes quite clear that he wants to take care of her and be there for her.

“At the time I didn’t believe in happy endings, because I hadn’t seen much evidence in my own life. I still don’t believe in happy endings, but for a different reason now. Happy endings need to be reserved for books and fairytales, because real love never really ends.”

For me it was the plot that I didn’t totally love. Perhaps because I was looking for something a bit more meaty in terms of shock, or drama or adventure but I just needed a little something extra. Even though there is that shocking plot line towards the end, it all happens so quickly with not much detail that it didn’t grab me as much as it perhaps should have. That’s not to say that what was there wasn’t good- it was! It is what it says on the blurb; a romance read. It had some angst and a bit of drama surrounding Dan’s secret so in that sense it was a great romance read. The characters were so enjoyable to read about and so likeable that I 100% wanted to finish and find out what their ending was going to be.

Lennon Reborn by Scarlette Cole Review

5 Smooches

Synopsis

Lennon McCartney is not a broken man. Because being broken implies being whole once. When a horrific accident deprives him of the one thing he loves—his talent as a fierce and explosive drummer—Lennon is left with a life chained by an abusive mother, by crushing guilt over a tragic past. A life he doesn’t want.

Dr. Georgia Starr is a legend. She’s one of the most successful neurosurgeons in the world, coming from a long-line of respected New York doctors. Her life is built around solving complex medical cases in order to bring relief and hope to sick children. But the one problem she can’t solve is how to live her life. How to shake loose the burden of being her elitist, arrogant father’s daughter. How to be free.

Can a man who despises his life and a woman who desperately needs to live find the answers, and love, with each other?

Review

Over the last couple years, Scarlett Cole has become one of my absolute favorite authors. She tells stories you simply haven’t read. I have been eagerly awaiting Lennon Reborn since first meeting the men of Preload and was not disappointed. The story was simply amazing! I cried. I swooned. I fell in love with the Preload men all over again.

Georgia and Lennon were everything I had hoped for and so much more. A tragedy brought the two of them together and I would love to say it was roses and easy going from there but that would be a lie. This love story took time and patience and true dedication. Despite the heavy emotional baggage Lennon carries with him, Georgia was there ready to show him the light. I adored them.

If Scarlett Cole has not already become a one-click for you now is the time to take the leap and try her out. Trust me,  If you love hot romance with a lot of heart and some tears then you’ll love this!
