WELL AND TRULY PUCKED, a new rivals-to-lovers, forced proximity, why-choose hockey romance from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author, Lauren Blakely, is available now!

I swear I only asked one hot hockey-playing friend to give me romance lessons for the week, but three hockey stars volunteered…

The post breakup plan was simple – escape from my toxic ex to a vacation rental and stay far away from men.

But thanks to a booking snafu I’m accidentally sharing it with three hot hockey players. One’s flirty, one’s broody, one’s a cheeky Brit, and they’re all the most attentive men I’ve ever met.

After a couple of glasses of champagne, I’m telling them about the contest my ex is running on his dating advice web site. The topic? What makes a great boyfriend, and I want to submit a column.

All three offer to show me every single thing I’ve been missing in and out of bed.

We make a deal for one week only. It’s only for revenge, of course. I work for the other hockey team in the city so it’d be a big mistake to truly get involved with a rival, let alone three.

Even though I melt under their touch. They show me what it means to be adored, cherished and romanced.

But as the week ticks on, what started as revenge fast turns into me giving my heart to three men I can’t have. Looks like I’m well and truly pucked.

“…a must-listen for fans of steamy romance and why choose dynamics.” ~Danielle, Red Cheeks Reads

Check out Danielle’s 5 SMOOCHES review!

EXCERPT:

Have I ever been kissed on my wrist before? I don’t think so, and I don’t ever want him to stop.

“Gavin, help him out. Kiss the back of her arm,” Rhys instructs nonchalantly. Gavin plants a kiss on the underside of my elbow.

They kiss me more, treasure hunters discovering all the places on my body till I’m gasping, shivering.

Then, Hollis steps back and runs a hand down his tie, his blue eyes locked with mine. “Take it off me, Briar,” he commands.

With eager fingers I undo the knot. Tug off the tie. Hand it to him.

“Gavin, worship our girl a little,” Rhys says. “Maybe kiss her ankles. See if she likes that.”

I look to Rhys, a heated charge zinging between the Englishman and me, all while Gavin drops to his knees, then wraps a big hand around my calf.

He kisses me, and I whimper.

But there’s no time to linger in the new sensations of ankle kisses since Hollis crowds me, draping the tie around my neck. The silk slides against my skin. “You’re going to look so f*&king pretty wearing my tie.”

And I’m his ex who can’t say no to him.

Now he’s a billionaire single-dad in need of a temporary wife.

Reluctantly, I agree to tie the knot, on one condition. Once those custody papers are signed, we go our separate ways. Because he’s even more gorgeous, charming, and sweeter than he was back then, and I don’t trust myself not to fall for my fake husband.

Especially when I hear him say “my wife.”

Or feel his hands on my skin. Taste his kiss or see the way he looks at me with those blue eyes and know that our carefully crafted rules will shatter.

Right alongside my heart.

Sometimes the wedding of the century calls for desperate measures…

Sometimes the wedding of the century calls for desperate measures.

And sometimes those desperate measures are to pretend the person you hate most is actually your boyfriend.

After years of working her tail off at her event-planning business, Maggie Mitchell is ready for a vacation. With nothing on her mind but R & R, she’s enjoying the warm weather of Bora Bora when in saunters Brody McFadden, her brother’s best friend and also her sworn enemy. Thanks to years of tension between the two―kicked off by a make-out session at her brother’s wedding that ended horribly―Maggie has sworn to stay away from the man. That is, until she finds out he’s in Bora Bora for his boss’s daughter’s wedding, hoping to use the trip to win a real future at the company.

Maggie promised herself she wouldn’t even think of work on the island, but as word spreads about the “wedding of the century” taking place in the midst of her vacation, she realizes offering her services as a bridesmaid and planner could bring her business to the next level. The only catch? She needs to pose as Brody’s girlfriend to get the job…while letting him stay in her peaceful bungalow.

Tensions rise, irritation flairs, and despite years’ worth of bickering behind closed doors, Maggie can’t quite squash the sparks building between her and her new fake boyfriend, especially when she learns the real reason their first kiss was cut short. But as the wedding day draws closer and everything starts to go wrong, it just might be Brody who sends Maggie’s business crashing down―and her heart along with it.

“A quintessential Meghan Quinn romantic comedy…” ~Danielle, Red Cheeks Reads

Check out Danielle’s 5 SMOOCHES review!

EXCERPT:

“What the heck was that back there?”

She crosses her arms over her ample chest. “That was me helping you out.”

“That’s what you consider helping me out?” I ask. “You just made yourself my girlfriend in front of my boss.”

“I’m aware.”

I stare at her. “Why?”

“Uh, isn’t it obvious?”

“No,” I nearly shout.

“You know, this might not be the best place to discuss this.” She glances around. “Don’t want to start a scene.”

I place one hand on the counter behind her and lean forward so only she and I can hear. “I want to know what the heck is going on, because you just made it impossible for me to shake you this week.”

“Trust me, the last thing I want is to be attached to you. It was a tough pill to swallow.”

“Why are you even swallowing it?”

“Don’t guys like it when we swallow?” That know-it-all grin of hers crosses over her lips, the same grin that got me in trouble with her in the first place.

Let me tell you something about Maggie Mitchell. She’s a different kind of girl—oh, sorry, woman.

Unlike any woman I’ve ever met before.

She’s a combination of orderliness, confidence, and warmth. She has no problem saying what’s on her mind, barely possesses any aptitude for embarrassment—I witnessed this when she sang Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now at her brother’s rehearsal dinner. It was off-key, and sometimes she hit notes only dogs could hear. But she also has a helping heart and will go out of her way to make anyone comfortable—well, anyone besides me.

She’s unashamed.

She’s a natural conversationalist.

She has an infectious energy.

AVENGING ANGEL, the first book in the long-awaited spin-off of the fan-favorite Rock Chick series from New York Times Bestselling Author, Kristen Ashley, is available now!

Scroll down for an EXCLUSIVE excerpt!

Rachel Armstrong has a burning need to right the world’s wrongs…

Rachel Armstrong has a burning need to right the world’s wrongs. Thus, she becomes the Avenging Angel.

And maybe she’s a bit too cocky about it.

While riding a hunch about the identity of a kidnapper, she runs into Julien “Cap” Jackson, who was trained by the team at Nightingale Investigations in Denver. Now he’s a full-fledged member at their newly opened Phoenix branch.

It takes Cap a beat to realize Raye’s the woman for him. It takes Raye a little longer (but just a little) to figure out how she feels about Cap.

As Raye introduces Cap to her crazy posse of found family and his new home in the Valley of the Sun, Cap struggles with his protective streak. Because Raye has no intention to stop doing what she can to save the world.

But there’s a mysterious entity out there who has discovered what Raye is up to, and they’ve become very interested.

Not to mention, women are going missing in Phoenix, and it seems like the police aren’t taking it seriously.

Raye believes someone should.

So she recruits her best friend Luna, and between making coffees, mixing cocktails, planning parties and enduring family interventions (along with reunions), the Avenging Angels unite to ride to the rescue.

“…a captivating tale filled with witty banter, sizzling chemistry and heart-pounding suspense.” ~Danielle, Red Cheeks Reads

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:

“Can I borrow this?” Harlow, lounging across my bed, holding up my new Fendi, asked.

“I haven’t even used it yet,” I told her from where I was, standing by my wall, waiting to continue our briefing.

“After you use it,” she amended.

“Girl, she got that shopping with her dad for the first time in eight years. Not even,” Jessie replied instead of me. Then she, sitting cross-legged on the edge of my bed with Patches purring in the nest of her lap, announced to the room at large, “I need a cat.”

“You barely remember to feed yourself, how are you going to remember to feed a cat?” Harlow returned.

“I remember to feed myself,” Jess shot back.

As far as I could tell, Jessie existed on coffee and whatever struck her fancy at QuikTrip, and that was more about their massive beverage station, snacks were an afterthought.

This was why Jessie was slim and had a B-cup (maybe).

Whatever she ate, it gave her thick, glorious chestnut hair a healthy gleam. With her blue eyes and the olive tone to her skin, she’d be a way better Kelly Garrett than me.

Harlow, on the other hand, had light-brown hair (with highlighted hues of honey) and dark-brown eyes, a wholesome Jennifer Garner thing going on, and she had a bombshell figure (like Luna and me, but whereas Jess was Luna’s height, Harlow was an inch shorter than me).

Jessie had the personality of a goth on a good day, and the wardrobe to match. She didn’t go the thick-eyeliner and pale skin route (the latter part of that was due to genes, the former part due to good fashion sense), but most everything she wore was black, with some white, red or neutrals thrown in so it wouldn’t get boring.

Harlow had the personality of a cheerleader, also with the wardrobe to match. She was all about babydoll dresses, bows, ruffles and perfecting the art of wearing a ton of makeup and looking like she wasn’t wearing a stroke.

I had no idea how they were besties, I just knew it worked.

We’d already ascertained they were in to be Angels. Considering their level of crazy matched, and sometimes surmounted Luna’s and mine, I shouldn’t have been surprised what an easy sell it was. They didn’t so much as blink when we told them what we’d been up to, nor when we gave them the lowdown on “We” and asked them to become Angels.

We didn’t even need Fireball and pinkie swears (but we did it anyway, with Jessie rolling her eyes and looking about ready to hurl, and Harlow giggling).

So we had shit to do.
