The last time I saw him, I was wearing (half) a slutty super-spy costume, and he was facedown in an Indiana Jones outfit, searching for my… buried treasure.

Reeve Donovan is Hollywood’s hottest, most charmingly-stubborn director… and the last man I expected to find strolling down Main Street in my sleepy Blue Ridge hometown. Especially since last time I saw him, I was wearing (half) a slutty super-spy costume, and he was facedown in an Indiana Jones outfit, searching for my… buried treasure.

With his tongue.

Ahem.

It turns out, my steamy Halloween hookup wants to find the location of my Great-Grandpa Earl’s missing gold… along with everyone else. The Fortune family’s wayward fortune is the stuff of legends, but I always figured it was just that: fiction. Until Reeve and I stumble on a clue that jump-starts our quest… and makes us unlikely partners in our hunt for the gold.

Soon, we’re swept up in a wild race for the treasure, jostling with a reality TV crew, grumpy historians, and my idiot of an ex-husband (don’t ask). I’ve been burned in love before, and have zero intention of falling for this arrogant charmer… Except Reeve has other plans.

He wants me. I want the gold. And my burning loins want… another go-around with Indy’s whip. We’re both used to getting our own way, so what happens when that way leads straight to the bedroom? And can we outwit the other treasure hunters to claim the ultimate prize?

REVIEW:

Lila Monroe delivered another sweet and steamy romantic comedy—with a dash of mystery—in The Treasure Hunt Hookup. She expertly combined the charm of a small town setting with a one-night-stand-turned-second-chance romance, and the result was a story that was equal parts heartwarming, hot as heck and hilarious. The characters were endearing, and their chemistry crackled with energy, and the witty, snappy banter was its own kind of foreplay. Lila’s plots are always so unique and fun, and she outdid herself here with the mystery-based storyline that brought an intriguing vibe to this romcom.

The Treasure Hunt Hookup was an entertaining and engrossing, and Lila’s witty writing kept me in my seat, tapping my Kindle as I devoured this book. Monroe weaves the romance and humor she’s known for with a bit of mystery and a whole lot of steam for a fun, flirty and fiery read. The Treasure Hunt Hookup by Lila Monroe gets 4.5 smooches from me!

RELEASE BLITZ: Watch and Learn by Rebel Shaw

WATCH AND LEARN, a second chance sports romance from Rebel Shaw, is available now!

 

 

What was supposed to be just for fun turned out to be anything but..

 

 

Nate

All I wanted to do was be me, for one night. I didn’t want to be the number one quarterback in the league. I just wanted to be Nate. I couldn’t tell you exactly what made me stop at that dive bar on the outskirts of town, but it changed my life.

Our connection was instant and undeniable. Our night together was explosive, which led to another, and then another. No strings. Neither of us had time in our busy lives for more.

When tragedy strikes, we part ways, but those strings we swore were not there tethered me to her. An invisible line from my heart to hers. It doesn’t matter how much time has passed. I still want her.

Oaklyn

After a long day at work, the last thing I should have done was stop at a seedy establishment at the edge of town, but something had me pulling my car into the lot and going inside. The place was empty, except one man. An impossibly gorgeous guy with sexy eyes as dark as the night.

I threw caution to the wind and invited him home. Our night together was magic, and when it came time to part ways, we both decided not to. No strings. Just great sex.

However, our time is cut short when he sustains an injury on the field and leaves, breaking my heart into a thousand pieces on his way out the door. What was supposed to be just for fun turned out to be anything but, and when he returns to town years later, I realize I’m in trouble. My heart still craves him.

REVIEW:

I’m a huge Lacey Black fan, and I’ve been reading her books since she released her first one. I’ve loved them all, so it was a given that I’d be reading her collaborations with Kaylee Ryan as well as their work under their Rebel Shaw pen name. Lacey and Kaylee are just so well matched. Their writing is smooth and seamless, full of witty humor, emotion, romance and attraction and centered around wonderfully charming and endearing characters.

Watch and Learn by Rebel Shaw is another absolute winner from this perfectly paired author duo. I absolutely love second-chance romances, and the focus on the emotions and history of these characters added so much depth and authenticity to the story. It was the electric chemistry and genuine connection between Nate and Oaklyn that drew me in and had me made rooting for this couple. A passionate and poignant second-chance romance, Watch and Learn was an emotionally-charged love story that kept me invested from cover-to-cover. Five smooches from me for Rebel Shaw’s Watch and Learn!

EXCERPT:

 

This isn’t how you kiss the bride. This is how you kiss a woman you want to pin down, tie up, and f*ck.

There’s just one more thing I want…

I look to the door again, but my brain goes blurry as Hayes devours my mouth mercilessly, his strong arms keeping me in place, his stubble likely leaving whisker burn. I can’t move, and I don’t want to. Not as his tongue plunders my mouth. Not as he lets go of his grip on my ass to wander a hand up my body. Not as the creak of a door oh-so-faintly registers in my mind. Hayes dives in and delivers more carnal kisses until we’re panting and gasping for air. I’m so aroused I can barely think about the sound of the lock slipping into place.

But somewhere in my mind, a voice tells me to pay attention.

My eyes float open, and I feel like a bunny spotted by a wolf in the woods at night. My pulse soars as my gaze locks with Stefan’s. His blue eyes aren’t icy now. They’re fire. His lips part as he stares at me.

This is what I want.

“I dropped my key card for my room,” Stefan says, but there’s no apology or shame in his voice.

Hayes barely pulls back from me. “How convenient,” he deadpans against the skin of my neck as Stefan strolls down the aisle, turning away from me.

Is that all Stefan’s here for? He’s not even looking at me as Hayes dives back in, kissing my neck more, draggin his scruffy jaw against my skin deliciously. My pulse rockets with unchecked need as I watch Stefan walk–the cut of his shoulders in his dress shirt that stretches across his broad back, the shape of his ass, strong, rounded, and so damn muscular it should be illegal.

Most of all, his attitude.

Like it’s no big deal to walk in on us. Desire coils in my chest, travels down my belly, then settles between my thighs in a sweet ache. Even as Hayes slides a hand down my arm, I’m watching Stefan while he grabs his card from the floor and turns around.

The smile he sends me is pure gamesmanship.

“Don’t stop on my account,” Stefan remarks with a casual shrug. “I’m here for the show.”

REVIEW:

Lauren Blakely scores with another MFM hockey romance winner in Puck Yes, the second book in her My Hockey Romance series. Blakely’s writing is addictive, amusing and amorous in these kinds of stories. As a long-time reader, I believe that these kinds of character-driven romances are made for Lauren’s special style of storytelling. Set against the high-adrenaline backdrop of professional hockey, Blakely takes her readers on an unputdownable journey of passion on and office the ice as these characters skate off into a complex relationship.

I listened to the audiobook, and the chemistry between Teddy Hamilton, Jacob Morgan and Samantha Brentmoor was effortlessly natural and wildly entertaining. They delivered phenomenal independent and collective performances, breathing life into the characters through my Air Pods.

The chemistry between Ivy, Stefan and Hayes was so smoking hot, it’s a miracle the ice they made their living on didn’t melt. This throuple was as in-sync with each other as the first line of championship team, but what really did it for me was how obsessed the heroes were with the heroine—I loved that for her. Their chemistry wasn’t just sexual, though. Their witty and sharp dialogue was the perfect foundation for to the snappy banter between these characters, and a genuine connection between all of them was evident in all aspects of their relationship.

Puck Yes by Lauren Blakely was a scorching-hot and heartwarming tale that had me cheering for the throuple from start to finish. The evolution of this trio’s unconventional relationship from friends with benefits to something more meaningful is expertly paced, making the emotional payoff incredibly satisfying. The workplace hockey backdrop adds an exciting and unique twist to the story, and the undeniable chemistry between the characters is absolutely scorching. Blakely’s addictive storytelling shines through as she wove this loving, lustful tale about the importance of taking chances. A passionate, clever and heartfelt sports romance with a twist, Blakely’s second MFM romance is as satisfying as the game-winning goal in the last game of the Stanley Cup finals. Five smooches from me for Puck Yes by Lauren Blakely!

What could possibly go wrong fake dating the gorgeous single dad in a small town?

The answer, you fall for him.

It started out perfect. Grady Whitlock needed a plus one for his business meetings, and I needed a date for a wedding.

We had a plan. It was a good one.

Until it wasn’t.

I was not supposed to have feelings for him. I was not going to let my heart race when his soulful blue eyes stared into mine. No way should I have noticed his smile or the dimple on his right cheek or his strong arms when he held me close. I especially wasn’t going to melt when I saw him play with my daughter.

Most of all I was not going to sleep with him.

Nope. None of that was supposed to happen, but it does.

Now I find myself dreaming of him every night. Wishing we were really a couple because the way he kisses me doesn’t feel as if it’s pretend.

But we’ve both watched our dreams shatter, and I can’t handle another broken heart.

Now, I stare down the same choices; only this time, the decision will be harder to make.

REVIEW:

Lacey Black delivers a poignant and heartwarming story in Without You, the eighth book of her Burgers and Brew Crüe series. A second-chance-at-first-love, single-dad, small-town romance, this was one heck of an emotional rollercoaster that kept me hooked from the first page. I’ve been a Lacey Black reader since her first book was released. I’ve often said that her small-town romances are the ones I measure them all against, and I still feel that way. Her evocative prose, heartfelt stories, beautifully crafted characters and the quintessential small towns she creates all blend together seamlessly into these captivating stories.

Without You features a single father hero, devoted to raising his four-year-old special needs son. Tucker Dunn has already loved and lost Kinsley McGregor once in his life when she moved to Nashville to pursue her dreams of becoming a country singer. Now a rising country music star, Kinsley is about to take the stage when the news breaks of her husband’s infidelity, complete with video. With her marriage imploding, she heads back home, to Stewart Grove, to nurse her broken, humiliated heart at her brother’s house. It isn’t long before she runs into Tucker and his young son, Grayson.

Lacey takes her readers along as Tucker and Kinsley rekindle the love they shared as teenagers. The small-town setting provides a charming backdrop for a love story that’s as real and relatable as it is beautifully written. The hero’s journey as a single dad is touching, showcasing the challenges and rewards of parenthood while adding a layer of tenderness to the story. Black’s ability to infuse raw emotion into the narrative, making you feel the characters’ pain, joy, and everything in between created an addictive slow-burn romance full of feels. Five smooches from me for Without You by Lacey Black!

BEST FRENEMIES, an all-new enemies-to-lovers, workplace rivals, forced proximity romantic comedy from New York Times Bestselling Author, Max Monroe, is available now!

Going tit for tat with the man you hate is all fun and games until things get literal…and the jerk sees you naked.

 

 

Going tit for tat with the man you hate is all fun and games until things get literal…and the jerk sees you naked.

My beach getaway was only supposed to include three things: relaxation, wine, and fun in the sun.

Mack Houston, on the other hand, should have never—ever—been involved.

In no uncertain terms, he’s the bane of my existence.

The thorn in my side.

The sexy Mr. Good-Time Guy who drives me up the wall and my work archnemesis for the past five years.

He’s the last person I want to get stuck anywhere with—it’s bad enough that I have to see him every day at work—and yet, because of a booking error (or curse of the universe, as I like to call it), I’m stuck in the same vacation rental with him for an entire week.

I’m going to end up in jail.

Or worse, I might just give in to the insane urge to find out if his lips are really as kissable as they look.

One way or the other, disaster feels imminent.

EXCERPT:

Mack

The sound of rushing water makes my eyebrows pull together, and a sudden sense of urgency lights a fire under my feet. I push the bathroom door open with a bang, and a shrill, frightened scream shatters the air.

“Ahhhhh! Oh my God!” a wet woman cries from the walk-in shower at the top of her lungs. “Who are you?!”

It’s uncontrolled chaos for several moments as she gets louder and louder, and my body fights to make sense of what’s happening. My defenses are alert, and my grasp on reality is shaken.

Is that… Could that be Katy Dayton…naked?

No way.

Her hair is wet and soapy, and her body is covered in a sheen of water as the showerhead continues to spray toward her.

I mean, it really looks like her…but how?

She turns and whips her arms across her chest, and her forehead creases in the center with uncontrolled disgruntlement. It’s a look I know well from experience and one I can’t mistake when it comes to her. She’s the only woman I know who can make a stink eye look downright beautiful.

Sweet Mary, mother of Jesus, it’s her. And she is, in fact, naked.

“Why are you in here?!” she screams again, and the shrill volume is enough to yank me out of my dazed state of mind.

I turn around as quickly as I can, but I have to admit that the vision of her bare—perky and perfect—right breast will likely be burned into my brain forever. If it weren’t for the tile half-wall on the bottom of the ornate shower blocking my view of the lower half of her body, I might be dead right now, in all honesty.

Sure, she’s freaking out now, but I have a feeling she’d be freaking out even more if she suddenly had a corpse to deal with.

“Katy, it’s okay. It’s okay. Calm down, it’s me. Mack. Mack Houston,” I ramble, my back still to her, and I hold my hands up above my shoulders in some sort of weird message of innocence.

“Mack?!” she shouts at the top of her lungs, louder than she did when she reacted like I was an ax-murdering intruder.

“Yes. That’s me.”

“What in the h-e-double-hockey-sticks are you doing here?”

I almost laugh over the fact that she can’t even curse under these circumstances. Always proper and professional, that’s Katy Dayton for you.

“I’m—”

“You know what?” She cuts me off before I can explain. “Never mind. Just get out. Get out. Get out!”

“Get out!” she shrieks again, making my feet fall into a jog all on their own. I grab the edge of the bathroom door and swing it closed behind me as swiftly as I can but stop there before going any farther.

My coworker. Katy Dayton. Naked. In the bathroom of my vacation rental.

Man oh man, I’m betting she hates me even more now.
