First loves deserve a second chance in an all-new small town, billionaire romance by New York Times bestselling author, K. Bromberg.

The requirement is ridiculous but simple. Spend two months in Cedar Falls and play the mayor’s games to ensure that The Retreat, Sharpe International’s newest resort, can open.

But I have a history with this small, Montana town. One I’d tried to forget but never could. Asher Wells. My Lavender Girl.

She’d had dreams and aspirations to leave Cedar Falls and make her mark on the world. So why is she still here, standing in front of me? And more importantly, why is she looking at me with hurt in her eyes when I was the one who‘d been forced to leave or else face the damning consequences of that night?

I have everything in life: money, success, an empire to run . . . everything except for one, very important thing. Her.

Fifteen years is a long time to wonder. . . what if. I’ll be damned if I leave town this time without her.

Are you ready to fall for the Sharpe brothers in K. Bromberg’s sexy, contemporary, billionaire romance series? These books can all be read as a standalone, but can be enjoyed as a series as well . . .

RELEASE BLITZ: So Not Meant To Be by Meghan Quinn

SO NOT MEANT TO BE, a sexy new enemies-to-lovers standalone romance from USA Today Bestselling Author, Meghan Quinn, is available now!

 

 

“So tell me, Kelsey, what are you looking for in a man?”

 

 

From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn, comes a fresh take on a romantic comedy classic, When Harry Met Sally. This steamy, laugh-out-loud, enemies to lovers romance is about an annoyingly handsome coworker and the woman who refuses to be charmed by him.

Am I friends with JP Cane?

Ha! That’s laughable.

Besides the fact that he’s adopted some far-fetched notion from the movie When Harry Met Sally that says men and women can’t be friends and work together, it’s safe to say we’re not friends. He’s annoyingly loud, obnoxiously handsome, and has made an art out of poking all my hot buttons . . . multiple times a day.

So you can imagine how disgruntled I am when I not only have to fly to San Francisco with him for work, but stay in the same penthouse. Yup, we’re sharing the same air, twenty-four-seven. We’re talking full-fledged working roommates.

The man doesn’t know what it means to wear a shirt, thrives off protein bars, and you guessed it, moans loud enough for people to believe he’s Meg Ryan in a restaurant.

Spoiler Alert: I WON’T be having what he’s having.

Tack on his continuous flirting and his polished good looks, and I’m caught staring down the barrel of a seductive temptation that makes it hard for me to sleep at night.

But guess who can control herself? This girl.

Because if there is one thing I know for certain, it’s that JP Cane and I are so not meant to be.

COVER REVEAL: The Boss Project by Vi Keeland

THE BOSS PROJECT, an all-new enemies-to-lovers workplace romance from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author, Vi Keeland, releases July 11th! Check out this cover!

 

 

Title:  THE BOSS PROJECT
Author:  VI KEELAND
Genre:  STANDALONE CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE
Cover Design:  SOMMER STEIN, PERFECT PAIR CREATIVE

The first time I met Merrick Crawford was during my job interview.

Well, technically, I’d met him twenty minutes earlier when he’d barged into a fitting room a few doors down from my appointment.

I yelled.  He yelled.  After an argument while standing in my bra, I proceeded to smash the door into the gorgeous jerk, trying to yank it shut.

As you might imagine, I was freaked out when I discovered that the rude guy was my potential new boss.

Yet he didn’t seem to recognize me. Or so I thought…  Until we wound up bickering again during my interview and he told me to go sniff my armpit.

Okay, so maybe I hadn’t exactly been changing when he walked in on me.  In my defense, I’d been stuck on a hot train for two hours and wanted to make sure I didn’t smell.

I obviously didn’t expect to get the job. But somehow an invitation to a second interview arrived in my inbox.

Before I left, I asked to see Merrick.  I needed to know why I was even in consideration after our disastrous start.

Turned out, Merrick only wanted to hire me because I was the least competent candidate.  It seemed his board was making him fill the position, against his wishes.

I didn’t really want to work in a place where my boss expected me to fail.  But I figured maybe I’d enjoy proving him wrong. It was a little thing I dubbed the boss project.

What I wasn’t prepared for was that there would be other things I’d enjoy doing to Merrick Crawford.

Getting involved with the boss wasn’t the smartest choice.

But you know what they say about choices: Some we regret, some we are proud of.  I just had no idea where this one was going to land.

RELEASE BLITZ: Hopelessly Bromantic by Lauren Blakely

HOPELESSLY BROMANTIC, an irresistibly sexy, emotionally-charged, roomies-to-lovers MM romance between a broody American and a charming Brit from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author, Lauren Blakely, is available now!

 

 

One broody American, one charming Brit, and two libidos that can barely fit into the smallest flat in London…

 

 

A sexy, passionate, utterly addictive, roomies-to-lovers MM romance from #1 NYT Bestseller Lauren Blakely!

Look, when I met the sexy, witty Brit on the streets of London last night, I had no idea who he was. He was just that hot guy I wanted to have a drink with so I asked him out for my first evening in town.

One thing almost led to another. After a midnight kiss, we made plans for a whole lot more the next day.

But when I unlock the door to my rental in the morning, the English hottie is lounging on the couch like he lives here too. Great. For the next year I’ll be sharing a tiny flat with the sexiest guy I’ve ever known.

Time for a few simple rules — don’t walk around the flat wearing only a towel, don’t spend our nights together exploring London, and don’t crack open my secrets for him.

Even as I smash all those rules, I try to resist falling for the cocky charmer. But after a taste of his lips, I give all the way in, telling myself one night and we won’t fall in love.

Too bad in the morning I discover that hiding my true feelings is the least of my worries, compared to a twist I never see coming.

Contents Include: One broody American, one charming Brit, and two libidos that can barely fit into the smallest flat in London. Translation – hot, angsty nights in the first novel in a scorching and emotional two-book epic MM romance!

EXCERPT:

 

Jude…

He turns around slowly, a sly grin on—

Holy beardability.

“Did I wake up a week from now, and you’ve got a full fucking beard?”

“It’s just two days of not shaving,” he says. “It’s not a full beard.”

I growl, low and guttural. That scruff. I want to feel the prickle of his beard on my face. My thighs. Everywhere.

“Two glorious days,” I say, then join him on the bench. “That’s like a week-o’clock shadow.”

He rolls his eyes. “You have a thing for beards, manners, and handymen.”

I waggle my brows, owning it. “I do.”

TJ takes a deep breath, a thoughtful-sounding one. “Would it be easier—you know, for this whole roommate-friend thing—if I shaved?”

I slice that horrid notion off at the knees. “Do not ever utter something so blasphemous again.”

REVIEW:

I’m a huge Lauren Blakely fan—her romantic comedies and contemporaries are some of my favorite things to read. I can now add her MM romances to that list. Starting with her debut MM romance, A Guy Walks Into My Bar, each one has blown me away. These stories clearly have a special place in her heart. The passion, the depth, the characters and the obvious attention to detail that she pours into these romances is evident on every single page.

I listened to the audio version of Hopelessly Bromantic, narrated in duet by Shane East and Teddy Hamilton, complete with a full cast. The organic chemistry between Shane and Teddy brought TJ and Jude to life in my ears. I love both narrators on their own, but paired together in these roles, they were simply magical. Teddy captured TJ’s quirky charm perfectly, and Shane’s British accent made for a realistic portrayal of the flirty and confident Jude. Their performances were outstanding—the whole cast was fantastic.

Hopelessly Bromantic is a duet, and this book starts the emotional roller-coaster that is TJ and Jude’s relationship. Spanning continents and years, Blakely penned a right person, wrong time romance full of twists and turns, ups and downs and all the lust and longing of a budding young love that isn’t going to work out. TJ and Jude meet in their early 20s, at a time in their lives when they’re both focused on their careers, just getting started professionally and hustling to get noticed. TJ has just relocated from NY, on a year-long assignment in London, and Jude, an actor who’s working in a bookshop, is the first person TJ meets on his first day in town. Fate plays a huge role in TJ and Jude’s story, and boy she really did mean business when she said now is not your time to this couple. Stumbling blocks, complications and miscommunications all worked together to keep this couple apart.

Lauren is known for her lighter hearted writing, and I love those stories so much. But when she writes an emotional romance, she lays it all on the table. Hopelessly Bromantic is a two-part story, so go in knowing that you’ll be left hanging at the end of this story. The thing is that there is no bad guy here, and while my heart broke for both TJ and Jude, I know that Lauren is going to piece it back together with a hard-fought, scorching hot, finale full of feels. I’m literally on the edge of my seat waiting for it. Five smooches for Hopelessly Bromantic by Lauren Blakely from me!

RISKY, a new contemporary romance about the risks and rewards of falling in love from New York Times Bestselling Author, Aurora Rose Reynolds, is available now!

 

With their future on the line, they’ll have to decide if love is a risk worth taking…

 

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aurora Rose Reynolds comes a bittersweet romance about the risks and rewards of falling in love.

Everly never expected to move back in with her parents, and she definitely didn’t expect to do so as a single mother. But with the father of her son suddenly out of the picture, she’s had to make some adjustments to her plans.

Now Everly has one priority: to make a life for herself and her boy. And Blake, her sometimes infuriating but admittedly handsome employer at Live Life Adventures, doesn’t factor into her future as anything more than her boss.

But it seems the guy who’s about as friendly as a grizzly bear has a soft spot for her and her son…and the more time she spends with him, the more difficult it is to remember why giving in to the chemistry between them is a bad idea.

Now, with their future on the line, they’ll have to decide if love is a risk worth taking.

Everly never expected to move back in with her parents, and she definitely didn’t expect to do so as a single mother. But with the father of her son suddenly out of the picture, she’s had to make some adjustments to her plans.

Now, with their future on the line, they’ll have to decide if love is a risk worth taking.

* * * * * * * * * *

REVIEW:

I really love Aurora Rose Reynolds’ style of storytelling. Her determined and devoted alpha males are a bit on the bossy side, and once they set their sights on the heroine, it’s game over. Lightning strikes—a moment Reynolds describes as the “boom”—and they know down to their core that she’s the one. Then the fun starts as they set about doing whatever it takes to win her heart. The way that ARR captures those moments of insta-love and the storm of surging emotions are one of the reasons why I love her stories so much. I’m totally an escapism reader, and ARR consistently provides me with a vehicle for those particular getaways.

Risky is the second book in the Adventures in Love series, and I’m really enjoying this world and these characters. Grumpy, gruff Blake is a mountain man running an adventure excursion business with his two co-owners. Everly is a single mom to her adorable, show-stealing son, Sam, and she’s left her big city life behind to return home for a fresh start. She and Same move in with her parents, and she lands a job as the office manager of Blake’s company where the fireworks between them start almost immediately. There’s a lot of push and pull between Blake and Everly as their relationship builds, and they’ve got some things to overcome between Blake’s baggage and Everly’s reluctance to enter into a relationship after everything she’s been through.

Risky was a sweet, charming and endearing romance that was low on angsty drama. Full of feels and friendship that catches fire, I loved the slow burn build-up of Blake and Everly’s love story. Four stars from me for Risky by Aurora Rose Reynolds!

BLOG TOUR WITH EXCERPT: Starry-Eyed Love by Helena Hunting

STARRY-EYED LOVE, an all-new hilarious and heartwarming workplace romance from New York Times Bestselling Author Helena Hunting, is now available!

 

 

Charming, hilarious and emotional, Starry-Eyed Love is Helena Hunting at her very best!

 

 

Having just broken up with her boyfriend, London Spark is not in the mood to be hit on. Especially not when she’s out celebrating her single status with her sisters. So when a very attractive man pays for their drinks and then slips her his number, she passes it right back to him with a ‘thanks, but no thanks’. As the business administrator for their family’s event hotel, the Spark House, London has more important things to worry about, like bringing in new clientele.

As luck would have it, a multi-million-dollar company calls a few months later asking for a meeting to discuss a potential partnership, and London is eager to prove to her sisters, and herself, that she can land this deal. Just when she thinks she has nailed her presentation, the company’s CEO, Jackson Holt, walks in and inserts himself into the meeting. Not only that, but he also happens to be the same guy she turned down at the bar a few months ago.

As they begin to spend more time together, their working relationship blossoms into something more. It isn’t until their professional entanglements are finally over, that London and Jackson are finally ready to take the next step in their relationship. But between Jackson’s secretive past and London’s struggle with her sisters, London must question where she really stands – not just with Jackson, but with the Spark House, too.

EXCERPT:

My stomach does a flip-flop as our server moves on to another table and the hot guy slides across the bench seat and rises. He’s tall, must be over six feet, and lean. Broad shoulders that taper down to a narrow waist. I glance at his feet and notice his scuffed running shoes.

He rolls his shoulders back and crosses over to our table. He nods to my sisters, but doesn’t really look at them, his eyes on me. Now that he’s right in front of me, I notice they’re a deep mossy-green color, reminding me of a Colorado forest. “Hi.” A slow smile forms as his gaze moves over my face.

I feel it like a gentle caress and heat travels through my veins. It’s an unexpected reaction, so my own “hi” comes out rather breathily. “Thank you for the drinks and the food. You really didn’t need to do that.”

His grin widens, showing off perfectly straight, white teeth. “Well, I wanted to make a good impression, and have an excuse to come over and talk to you.”

Harley squeezes my leg under the table. I don’t risk looking at her because I’m sure she’s smiling like a loon.

“You certainly did that. Make a good impression, I mean.” Why am I so awkward right now? And why does it feel like this man is sucking all the oxygen out of the room and turning my brain cells into mush?

That gets me another smile. “I wanted to apologize if it seemed like I was staring. I hope I haven’t made you uncomfortable.”

I touch my fingers to my lips and resist the urge to play with my hair, but just barely. Why does this man make me feel like a starry-eyed high school girl? “You haven’t made me uncomfortable.”

“Good. That’s very good.” His tongue drags across his bottom lip. “I just needed to tell you that from across the room, you were beyond stunning, but up close.” He lets out a low whistle. “You are an absolute work of art.”

I fight with my eyebrows not to rise. This guy has all the lines. “Oh, really?” I lace my fingers together and set my chin on them. “The kind of art you might hang in your living room?”

“Bedroom, actually.”

I laugh. I can’t decide if this guy is too smooth for his own good. Or mine. I have to wonder how many times he’s dropped these lines on other women and they’ve ended up in his bed as a result.

“That sound is music to my ears,” he says, his white-toothed smile still in place. “I knew I’d be kicking myself if I didn’t come over here and at least say hello.” He slides a small piece of paper across the table, roughly the size of a business card. “I’m going to leave my number, and maybe if you’re interested, I can take you out for a drink, or dinner, or a hot air balloon ride.”

I can see exactly where this will go if I take that card from him. And while getting into bed with a random, attractive man might be fun, I know it’s not the right thing for me. Before I can really consider what I’m doing, or fully absorb the last part, I put a hand out to stop him. “I’m very flattered, but I have to be honest with you. I won’t call you. I have a boyfriend.” The lie tastes sour on my tongue. Although, had it been three days earlier, it would have been the truth.

Avery does some kind of cough-choke thing, and I kick her under the table and get Harley on the back swing.

His smile falters for a moment, but he doesn’t break eye contact. “That’s disappointing, but unsurprising. I didn’t see a ring, so I’d hoped maybe luck was on my side.” He tips his head to the side. “Is it serious?”

“Pardon me?”

“You and this boyfriend, are you two serious?”

This guy is unbelievable. “And if we are?”

“Hmm.” He withdraws his hand and slips the paper in his pocket. “I’d hate for karma to pass judgment on me and get in the way of our future together, so I’m just going to hope I run into you again when you’re single. Have a lovely night, ladies.” He nods to my sisters and gives me one final lingering glance before he winks. “Thank you for existing.”

And then he walks away.

Finn

Falling for the nanny isn’t my style…but neither was becoming a single dad overnight.

When my three-year-old niece, Hadley, needs a guardian, I fill the role and need a nanny. Stat. What I get instead is London Ashford—an infuriating redhead who tempts me at every turn.

The harder I push, the more she pushes back. I’m someone used to calling the shots, and her insubordination should irritate me; instead, it turns me on.

My nightclub isn’t going to run itself, so I have to harness my desire for her and let her do her job—so I can do mine.

London

Finnegan Royal is charming, gorgeous, and an insufferable asshole. Not exactly my type…not that it matters. He’s my new boss.

But watching a powerful businessman like Finn be brought to his knees by his toddler niece makes me feel all kinds of things I shouldn’t.

Named one of Chicago’s most eligible bachelors, he owns the hottest club in town and can have any woman he wants, but he has his sights set on me. The nanny.

The beautiful little girl has stolen my heart, but I have no doubt her arrogant uncle would break it if given the chance. So why can’t I stay away?
