LATEST NEW RELEASES, RECOMMENDATIONS, & PRE-ORDERS — Week of April 12, 2016

Welcome to the new blog design!! Want to know more about why I decided to change things and what that whole “special feature” in the black bar up above is about?? Click here to read about it!

 
TOP RECOMMENDATION: Stuck-Up Suit by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward (Read my Review)  
What an AWESOME book!! I read it in one sitting because I could NOT put it down even for a minute!! It was exactly the kind of book I was looking for. The story started off as SEXY, SASSY, and SWOONY with an intriguing story and fun banter. Then turned HOT and HEART-WARMING, right before a huge TWIST that brought all the ANGST and FEELS!! It was the perfect blend of everything I could hope for in an ADDICTIVE romance! I loved it!

“I didn’t expect him to text back.
I didn’t expect our exchanges to be hot as hell.
I didn’t expect to fall for him –all before we even met…”

DETAILED LIST: NEW RELEASES

 

Stuck-Up Suit by Vi Keeland — New Release!!

Awesome standalone romance — MY TOP FAVORITE THIS WEEK!!
— It started out like any other morning on the train. Until I became mesmerized by the guy sitting across the aisle. When his stop came, he got up suddenly and left [and] dropped his phone on the way out. I might have picked it up. I might have gone through all of his photos… When I traipsed my ass across town to his fancy company, he refused to see me. So, I left the phone on the empty desk outside the arrogant jerk’s office. I might have also left behind a dirty picture on it first though.

I didn’t expect him to text back.
I didn’t expect our exchanges to be hot as hell.
I didn’t expect to fall for him―all before we even met.

The two of us couldn’t have been any more different. Yet, you know what they say about opposites. When we finally came face to face, we found out opposites sometimes do more than attract―we consumed each other. Nothing could have prepared me for the ride he took me on. And I certainly wasn’t prepared for where I’d wind up when the ride was over. All good things must come to an end, right? Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

 

Listen To Me by Kristen Proby — New Release!!

Standalone romance in a new series!
— “Five best friends open a hot new restaurant, but one of them gets much more than she bargained for when a sexy former rock star walks through the doors—and into her heart… She instantly recognizes him—his posters were plastered all over her bedroom walls in high school. He’s all bad boy… exactly her type and exactly what she doesn’t need. He walked away from the limelight five years ago and yearns to return to what’s always driven him: the music. If he gets to work for a smart-mouthed, funny-as-hell bombshell, all the better. But talking her into giving him the job is far easier than persuading her that he wants more than a romp in her bed. Just when she begins to drop her walls, his past finally catches up with him. Will he be able to convince her to drown out her doubts and listen to her heart?”

 

Slow & Steady by Kendall Ryan — New Release!!

Standalone love after loss/military romance!
— “When he tosses $20 on the stage of a strip club, the last thing he expects to see are the haunted green eyes staring back at him. She should be home raising her infant daughter, not giving lap dances… The last time the former Navy SEAL saw her she was dressed in black, holding a folded flag and sobbing that it was all his fault… and he agreed with every single word. He couldn’t do anything to help her then, but he can now. She deserves better than this dingy club, and he will do whatever it takes to make amends for their broken past… But he will have to fight for what he wants in order to keep the woman with the green eyes he’s dreamed about so often…”

 

The Player and the Pixie by Penny Reid and L.H. Cosway — New Release!!

Romantic comedy — can be read as a standalone!
— “He’s a cold-hearted brute… or so he’s been told. Frequently. By everyone. As the rugby world’s second most infamous player, he should be basking in his success. But he’s never been content settling for second place, and his frequent confrontations with her big brother leave him cold. And when he’s cold, his compulsive little problem lands him in her lap… He has a problem only she can solve. She has a problem only he can fix. The solution seems obvious: you scratch my back, and I’ll bail you out of jail. But when their business arrangement unexpectedly leaves him scorching hot and her on the precipice of inner peace, can they convince the world that this is the real deal? Either way, they’re about to teach each other some pretty monumental lessons about family, life, but most importantly, love.”

Cue applause and cheers. For a while life was all rainbows and kittens…that was until the demands of the real world set in. My best friend is getting married and she asked me to be her maid of honor. She’s not worried about flowers, or the dress, or the food. No, she’s worried about the bachelorette party, what kind of penis crown she will wear, and the nipple size of the stripper who will be attending. I’m in way over my head trying to balance life with a boyfriend, planning a penis party, and writing my romance novel. Something is bound to give. This is my life after my happily ever after…
