THE TWO-WEEK ARRANGEMENT – A Kendal Ryan Cover Reveal

He’s a grumpy-pants CEO. She’s a know-it-all intern. Coming this June, the first in an all new series from NYT & USA Today Bestselling author Kendall Ryan, The Two-Week Arrangement!

Dear Sexy AF Intern,

I know you don’t particularly care that I’m the CEO of this company, and you’re just an intern. I also know you’re not impressed by my power or my wealth, and that’s fine.

You think you’ve got me all figured out from working alongside me for two weeks, but you don’t know me. Not really.

You don’t know that I’m a single dad to twin toddlers, or that those two little girls matter more to me than this entire hotel chain.

I’m not interested in starting something deep and meaningful, but what I am interested in is the way your body reacts to mine when we’re in the same room. You probably assume the concentration on my face is work-related, when in reality, I’m figuring out which I want more–to nail you against the wall, or to bend you over my desk.

While you’re too disciplined to act on it, I’m not. And the night you stepped into my limo, all bets were off.

ONCE UPON A WILD FLING – A Lauren Blakely Review

109182

It’s a sweet and slow burn romance for our last Hart brother. Miles is the young hot, single father of the trio boy band and he’s had his eye on his best friend’s sister since they met. But he’s never wanted to cross the line and risk his friendship and their business. But the more he sees Roxy, the more he’s enamored with her. When he asks her to be his plus one to his high school reunion, it ends in a fiery kiss that he hopes can lead to more. But a new secret from Roxy puts on the brakes; she’s pregnant and on the way to single motherhood. Now Miles has a lot more to think about then just his desires.

Roxy hasn’t had the best luck with dating. Dud after awkward date, she’s resigned herself to finding her HEA by herself and becoming a single mother. But her mother warned her about “what ifs”, mainly what if she finds mister right after she’s already become a mommy-to-be? For once she has to admit her mother may be right when a night with Miles turns her fantasies to life. Now she has to risk it all and wish for more than just friends with benefits with the rock star dad.

Call me lame but I didn’t connect to well with this couple. I felt a little thrown into it in the beginning and was lost as to what was going on. Miles and Roxy seem ti be more acquaintances than friends but within a few weeks become madly in love with one another only from a few hours once a week? It didn’t feel believable to me. Where they are each smart and caring characters, i felt like they were smooshed together rather than finding their way to one another. I liked the chemistry they had but there just wasn’t enough of it, i wanted more longing, more glances and what if moments between them. It’s slow burn for sure and worth the wait but afterwards I felt it fizzle a bit. A little middle of pack for Blakely’s generally steamy and sassy reads, but an easy romance for those who don’t want any drama.

Who’s ready for a wild fling? We’ve got your next steamy read right here!

My brother’s best friend has a proposition for me. Have I mentioned he’s a sexy single dad? Tell me more…

There are a million reasons why Miles Hart isn’t the man I should date but allow me to enumerate the top three. He’s friends with my brother, he’s a single dad, and he’s a sexy, in-demand rock star. He might as well wear an off-limits, totally unavailable, and don’t-even-attempt-to-ride-this-ride sign.
Then he asks me to be his plus-one when his band plays at his high school reunion, and the night unfolds in ways I never expect.
***
I have three good reasons to keep my hands off Roxy Sterling–her brother’s my business manager and good buddy, my kid is the center of my world, and the last time I fell hard for a woman I was burned so badly that my interest in relationships has gone up in flames. But once I bring Roxy’s body next to mine on the dance floor, I want all the not-safe-for-work things I can’t have with her. So I make a proposition.

Then I learn exactly how risky we might be.

Excerpt OUAWFLBER.png

~ROXY
I find Miles behind a stage that has probably witnessed high school graduations, speeches, and musicals. His eyes take a leisurely stroll up and down my body. The way he stares, every zone in my body feels erogenous. Especially the boob zone, where he spends more time than usual.

When he slides his gaze up to my face, he looks hypnotized, then he shakes it off and brings me in for a hug. “So glad you’re here, Rox. Now go enjoy the show, and I’ll find you the second we’re done.”

Once it starts, I do enjoy the show. I never saw the Heartbreakers in concert when they were in their heyday. I’ve never been a concert person. Not that I’m opposed to music, but my mother set a precedent when I was in the eighth grade and my friends had a chance to see P!nk perform. I asked her if I could go, but the next day I had to take the prep school entrance exam, so the answer was no.

“It’s a better use of your time to stay in and study,” she’d said.

That’s what I mostly did in high school, listening to music on the radio as I worked through math problems and wrote essays on the Vietnam War. The Heartbreakers kept me company that way. Later, when Miles became a solo artist, I’d find myself humming his tunes when I heard them play in Starbucks, or while riding the escalator at Bed Bath & Beyond.

I became a fan, but I’m not a fangirl like some of the others here tonight. I don’t just mean the women. The Heartbreakers have fanboys and fangirls, singing along, belting out tunes. They’re crowding the stage, and the security guards hired when the Heartbreakers were confirmed for the event are standing on alert, arms crossed. Fortunately, there are no bras or panties thrown at the stage, nor briefs or belts either. I’m glad Miles’s high school class is full of fans but not crazy groupies. The music reverberates in the gymnasium as the trio of gorgeous brothers sings love songs and fun songs and sexy songs while disco balls twirl from the ceiling and strobe lights flash.

When the set nears the end and they dive into one of Miles’s most popular solo tunes, a love song called “Today,” I swear his eyes find mine in the crowd as he sings about yesterdays and tomorrows. The way he sings turns the tingles into sparks, and I’m feeling it now for sure—that click, click, click of my heart, or maybe it’s my hormones.

Whatever it is, my breath comes faster as I dance.

When the show ends and the band thanks the crowd, that’s my cue to find him backstage. He’s sweaty, and I’ve never found sweat so sexy before. He drapes an arm around me, drops a kiss to my cheek, and says, “Hey, sexy bodyguard.”

My voice is a little breathier than I expect as I reply, “Reporting for duty.”

ROCKY MOUNTAIN COWBOY CHRISTMAS – A Katie Ruggle Review

img_2070

Rocky Mountains are supposed to be idyllic and peaceful, which is exactly what Steve planned when he moved his four children from the chaos of their home town. A Christmas tree ranch and shop is the perfect place for them to grown up. Settled in as a fire fighter in town, Steve runs into Camille when she needs “rescued”. Except his version of a rescue is her version of hell. Camille loves her solitude and doesn’t handle being the center of attention well. Sparking his interest, Steve sees Camille in a new light and can’t fight his attraction to her. But when her life is put in danger he’s determined to keep her close.

Camille has been quite happy in her solitude and is thrown for a loop when Steve Springfield is back in town. Downsides to being a hermit is not knowing when your high-school crush moves back in to town. And running in to him in the most embarrassing situation…over and over again. The final straw: a fire burns down her home, with her in it and Steve comes to the rescue. Now in his home and around his kids, she may finally be finding her people and a way to be happy around others. If it wasn’t for the other fires that keep threatening her, she could just be happy.

Ruggle has the ability to write action and suspense romance weaved perfectly together. But I will warn readers that this romance, is a slooooow burn that is worth the wait. Steve and Camille’s chemistry is instant and incredibly charming. Steve takes all of Camille’s “quirks” in stride and his children help win her over. I honestly loved Camille’s interactions with each of Steve’s kids, each one manages to pull a new side of her out making me love her more. And just when you think that HEA is on its way, prepare for a big twist you just can’t predict.

9781492658665_fae48.jpgIn the heart of the Rockies
In the arms of a cowboy
One white Christmas can change everything.

When firefighter and single dad Steve Springfield moved his four kids to a Colorado Christmas tree ranch, he intended for it to be a safe haven. But he never expected danger to follow them to his childhood home…

Or that he would come face-to-face with the one girl he could never forget.

Folk artist Camille Brandt lives a quiet life. As the town’s resident eccentric, she’s used to being lonely–until Steve freaking Springfield changes everything. Brave and kind, he’s always had a piece of her heart, and it doesn’t take long before she’s in danger of falling for him and his rambunctious kids. But as mysterious fires break out across the sleepy Colorado town, Steve and Camille will have to fight if they want their happy family to survive until Christmas…

KNUCKLE DOWN – A Chantal Fernando Review

Sergeant at Arms. Father. Brother. Lover. Knuckles’ role in the Cursed Ravens MC is more than just muscle and intimidation. He’s there to protect his extended family, in any way. After a crazy few weeks with his President’s newly discovered daughter who becomes his best friend, he comes face to face with her cousin. Classy, sultry, and all around sassy; Celina isn’t Knuckles’ type but he can’t deny the immediate lust he feels seeing her. But what will it take to make this beauty see he’s more than just the cut on his shoulders?

Celina knows men, and people really. As a reporter she has to keep a sharp eye for detail. A glimpse into her cousins new motorcycle club family could be the break she’s been waiting for. But this wicked MC is more than what them seem. Their number one focus is family, a foreign concept to Celina (apart from her love for her cousin). And their supposed protector, Knuckles, is like a teddy compared to the grizzly expectation she had. He’s caring, sweet, and a father to two beautiful girls. And now he’s set his focus on Celina and the future he sees them having

I feel like there was a flipped script in this Ravens story. Celina is our standoffish heroine whereas Knuckles, the supposed bad boy, is the calm and collected hero. He’s got to peel back the complicated layers of Celina and her trust issues before he can get to heart of her. There’s an easy flow to Knuckles’ attempts though; he’s not pushy or controlling. He sees things as they are and adjusts accordingly. Who knew such a. Badass could be the funniest and sweetest hero of the bunch. With fun at every turn and drama just around the corner, the climax was SO unexpected and I LOVED it. Can’t wait to see what’s next for the Cursed Ravens.

Knuckle Down Ebook Cover

A single father struggles to change for his daughters and the woman he loves in this second book in the Cursed Ravens Motorcycle Club series from New York Times bestselling author Chantal Fernando.

As a single father of two girls and the sergeant at arms for the Cursed Ravens Motorcycle Club, Jack “Knuckles” Chester doesn’t have much free time. And having earned his road name from his reputation as a fighter, Knuckles isn’t one to back away from a challenge.

But what he’ll never admit out loud is that his two daughters have changed him irrevocably, softened him even. And these two girls are the only women who will ever hold his heart forever. That is, until he meets the cousin of another biker’s old lady.

Celina is nothing like the women Knuckles used to date. She’s a journalist for the local newspaper, dresses well, and basically just has her life together. And the last thing she wants is to be involved with a Cursed Raven. But when the ripped, badass biker worms his way into her heart, she has trouble remembering all the reasons they would never work.

But when a scandal at her newspaper breaks the thin trust she has with Knuckles, will she walk away for good? Or will Knuckles fight to keep Celina in his life?

CHASING HIM – A Kennedy Fox Review & Excerpt Reveal

phonto-35

I will fully admit that I knew I was going to love John’s character way back when Courtney traveled home in the Drewtney duet. I did NOT plan to fall hard for this sexy, silent man when he yells at our heroine in just a towel! #HOT and immediate love!

At the end of Needing Him, readers were left with the surprise of a baby on John’s doorstep between him and a woman he had dated the year before. After a heartbreaking beginning, little Maize is thrown into the arms of a new dad who’s got no clue what to do. Thankfully the Bishops are a family built on love and John has all the support he could ask for. But even siblings, spouses, and parents can’t be there 24/7 and John’s struggling to stay afloat when a solution flies into town. Mila’s the full package and the perfect solution to John’s baby problems…he just has to keep his hands off her.

Mila is looking forward to her time in Texas away from the heartbreak of her best friend not loving her the way she dreamed he would. But where one door closes, another opens, when her grandmother’s friend offers her a part time job during her visit. Her son’s n desperate need of a nanny and Mila comes with all the qualifications. The hitch? Daddy John is SUPER attractive, sweet, and funny. Playing nanny quickly turns into playing house. But reality sets in and at the end of the their arrangement Mila has to decide: a chance at her dream career or a forever home with John and Maize.

It has been a hot minute since a book has made me cry. But KF fully had me sobbing when Mila had to decide what she wanted to go for: love or career. I was honestly fighting in my head about it alongside her. There is an INSTANT chemistry between John and Mila and the way their relationship blooms and flourishes as they both care for baby Maize was so endearing. I wanted to hug my kindle half the time! Chasing Him is filled with warmth, light, and happiness until that fateful climax. Not only is this a slooooow burn novel but once it heats up…my god! I knew I would love this couple! Heartbreak and lessons abut what family really means is what this love story is all about!! KF seem to outdo themselves with each passing Bishop and I know that Jackson’s book is going to be EXPLOSIVE. As usual, prepare yourself for one hell of an ending….it will leave you SHAKEN.

John Bishop isn’t your typical single dad.

Reserved, impatient, and utterly clueless.

Running the family’s bed and breakfast has many perks. Working long hours, picking up after the guests, and hearing couples going at it all night long aren’t any of them. Hooking up with girls who come to the ranch for horseback riding lessons? Best perk of them all.

That is until a baby shows up at his doorstep with a note claiming it’s his. Growing up on a ranch was anything but easy, but raising a newborn is proving to be the hardest task he’ll ever tackle. Leaving the bachelor life behind, his only priority is to hire a nanny who can teach him a thing or two about parenting—except he doesn’t anticipate her being gorgeous and quirky with an unhealthy football obsession.

Mila Carmichael has many talents—making balloon animals, creating origami art, and remaining in the friend zone. Often seen as one of the guys, she’s struck out more times than a rookie baseball player.

Seeking a new adventure, she flies to Texas to visit family and is offered a position she can’t refuse. Helping out a new dad should come easy to her, considering her past experience, but what she doesn’t anticipate is him being an attractive Southern temptation.

But that’s only the beginning.

While growing close to his family and falling madly in love with the baby girl who’s stealing their hearts, things are bound to get complicated. Everyone knows not to mix business with pleasure. That means no late movie nights, no stolen glances, and definitely no kissing behind closed doors. Too bad the universe has other plans—one that’ll threaten taking away the main thing that binds them together.

Excerpt CHKF

John’s POV

As soon as I walk into the living room, I see Mila in tight blue jeans and a low cut shirt that shows way too much cleavage.

“Nope.” Resting my hands on my hips, I look at her, trying not to stare at her chest. It doesn’t help that her nipples are hard as a damn rock either. Fuck. Eyes up.

“Nope, what?” she asks, furrowing her brows in confusion as she grabs Maize out of the swing.

“You can’t wear that shirt. Actually, we should probably set some ground rules since you’ll be staying here around the clock.”

Mila rolls her eyes and kneels down in front of the carseat. She’s dressed Maize in an outfit that says something about Grandma being her favorite, and I know Mama is going to love it. “Is that what you do ‘round here? Make rules for everyone?” She arches an eyebrow with a cocky smirk on her face.

Tilting my head, I narrow my eyes and study her. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Ask Jackson.” She carefully places Maize in the car seat and straps her in. I suck in a deep breath remembering the nanny rules I’d given Jackson, the ones she wasn’t supposed to hear.

“Jackson needs rules. He has zero boundaries. And it’s not like he listens to anyone anyway. Trust me. It’s an open invitation to flirting and ridiculous comments from him. So you can’t be wearing shirts like that around him.”

“…or I can’t be wearing shirts like this around you?” she quips, not paying any attention to how frustrated I’m becoming. “I think I can handle Jackson, so stop worrying yourself.”

“Whatever, Mila.”

She straightens up and looks me dead in the eyes. “You’re my boss and you can make any crazy rules you want when it comes to your baby, but you don’t get to tell me what I can and can’t wear, unless you’re instating a dress code for me and if that’s the case, I want a raise and a clothes allowance then.”

I scoff, crossing my arms over my chest that’s rising and falling rapidly. “How much for you to wear baggy overalls and turtlenecks every day?”

“You’ve got jokes, do you?” she mutters, not amused. “Why not just put a chastity belt on me too while you’re at it?”

I grunt, thinking that’s not a bad idea actually.

MISTER TONIGHT – A Kendall Ryan Review

phonto-31

Every time I read a new Kendall Ryan romance I’m reminded why I love her stories so much. Always fun and always quick to read, her romances are filled with light-hardheartedness and easy romances that will make you swoon on every page. Mister Tonight is no different and brings another trope to her romance repertoire.  A night out for her 30th birthday turns into some hilarious one-night stand action for Kate. Hunter is hot, charming, and knows what to do with his hands…except apparently locking the door when his 4 year old daughter walks in on their *ahem* adult moment. Laugh it up as they scramble to hide away and explain what’s going on and Kate books it out the door!

Obviously mortified and hoping she can move on, Kate looks forward to moving in to her new apartment…only its Hunter’s apartment! Hello awkward! As they try to change their relationship from one-night-stand to landlord/renter, there are some cute and funny moments as they navigate. Add in the adorable little girl and the things kids can say and this whole story is filled with precious moments. Our couple are literally the boy and girl next door; one afraid to commit, the other wanting more when he thought he’d never find it.

Once again, Ryan proves that characters that flow well and have chemistry result in fabulous stories. Hunter and Kate were obviously so attracted to one another. I found myself laughing at how clueless they could be sometimes towards one another. Another feel good romance to add to the books! You need a palate cleanser romance that just makes you feel giddy, Mister Tonight is it!

From New York Times bestselling author Kendall Ryan comes a standalone romance about a swoony single dad and the new neighbor he falls for.

Last night was the most embarrassing night of my life.

I was THAT girl.

You know, the highly intoxicated chick celebrating her thirtieth with her two best friends—the ones who are happily married. And the more I drank, the more I wanted to do something reckless to celebrate.

By reckless, I meant the sexy and alluring man dressed in a business suit standing near the bar. You know his type—tall, dark, and handsome. I was sure he was out of my league, but I’d had just enough alcohol that things like that no longer seemed to matter. I’m not fat, mind you, but you can tell I like French fries, so there’s that.

He took me home and I enjoyed the hottest birthday sex of my life, well until it came to a screeching, and rather unwelcome halt.

There’s nothing quite like being interrupted mid-ride with a little voice asking:

“What are you doing to my daddy?”

Just kill me now…… or so I thought.

Come to find out the man I rode like a bull at the rodeo is my new landlord.
