LATEST NEW RELEASES, RECOMMENDATIONS, & PRE-ORDERS — WEEK OF JANUARY 16, 2017

TOP RECOMMENDATION: Egomaniac by Vi Keeland (Read my Review) 
SQUEEEEEE!!!!! I can’t stop smiling!!!!!! This book was the perfect mix of light-hearted fun, sexy hotness, and pure addictive romance! With a cocky, jaded, dirty-talking attorney hero and a sassy, fiery heroine who argued, bantered, and slowly fell in love, and a surprisingly emotional twist to the story, I LOVED IT! Not to mention that banter kept me laughing!!! If you’re looking for a great new romance to escape into, I highly recommend this as a new favorite!! — “The night I met him, he’d just broken into my new office… I dialed 9-1-1 before proceeding to attack him with my fancy new Krav Maga skills. He quickly restrained me, then chuckled, finding my attempted assault amusing. Of course, my intruder had to be arrogant. Only, turned out, he wasn’t an intruder at all…

 
TOP RECOMMENDATION: Love In Lingerie by Alessandra Torre (Read my Review) 
HOLY HOTNESS!!! The story took me by surprise and I loved every minute of it! I went in completely blind and could not put it down!!!! It’s a SEXY, ANGSTY FORBIDDEN ROMANCE. The hero is the CEO of a failing company and he hires the heroine to help him build it back up. He’s gorgeous, irresistible, but has one very important rule: he doesn’t get involved with his employees. But this one woman tests him to his limit because, no matter how hard he tries, he can’t stop thinking about her. And he has a secret!!! One he’s terrified will drive her away… I loved the forbidden thrill of their connection and, more than anything, I loved the ending!!

 
NEW RECOMMENDATION: To Have It All by BN Toler (Read my Review) 
I was drawn to this because the plot just sounded SO UNIQUE!! It was a storyline I’d never read before (which is hard to find!) so I couldn’t resist! In a twist of fate, a kind-hearted, homeless mechanic wakes up in the body of an arrogant, self-centered millionaire only to fall in love with his ex-wife and daughter… I’ll admit that it was definitely not as emotional a story as I expected, but it was genuinely beautiful and also, I loved the ending! So if you’re in the mood for a story that isn’t quite like anything else, grab a copy here (the blurb is at that link too) and give it a try!

 
NEW RECOMMENDATION: Badd Ass: Badd Brothers by Jasinda Wilder (Read my Review) 
HOLY HOTNESS!! Oh my! This was such a sweet, sexy romance! Sometimes you just need something FUN to read that’ll make you smile and swooooooon and fan yourself from the heat, y’know?? And luckily, this book delivered exactly that! It’s about a larger-than-life, hunky and heroic Navy SEAL hero who unexpectedly falls in love with a wild, carefree girl who changes everything for him! It is HOT HOT HOTTTTTTT!!!! Like, I mean S.T.E.A.M.Y. and it’s also a really addictive, easy read. So if you’re in the mood for a light-hearted erotic romance, try this!

DETAILED LIST: NEW RELEASES

 

Love in Lingerie by Alessandra Torre — New Release!!

TOP FAVORITE! Standalone: “I hired her to fix my company, to bring it back to life. I didn’t expect her to become my friend. I didn’t expect to fall in love with her.

The first rule of business is to never touch your employees. I think there is another rule about not falling for your best friend—a rule against imagining the curves of her body, or the way her breathing would change if I pulled down her panties and unzipped my pants. Now, I can’t wait any longer. I’m tossing out the rules. Damn the company. Damn our friendship. Damn my fears.”

 

Egomaniac by Vi Keeland — New Release!!

TOP FAVORITE! Standalone: “The night I met him, he’d just broken into my new office…
I dialed 9-1-1 before proceeding to attack him with my fancy new Krav Maga skills. He quickly restrained me, then chuckled, finding my attempted assault amusing. Of course, my intruder had to be arrogant. Only, turned out, he wasn’t an intruder at all…

He was the rightful occupant of my new office. He’d been on vacation while his posh space was renovated. Which was how a scammer got away with leasing me office space that wasn’t really available for rent. I was swindled out of ten grand.

The next day, after hours at the police station, he took pity on me and made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. In exchange for answering his phones while his secretary was out, he’d let me stay until I found a new place.
I probably should have acted grateful and kept my mouth shut when I overheard the advice he was spewing to his clients. But I couldn’t help giving him a piece of my mind.
I never expected my body to react every time we argued. Especially when that was all we seemed to be able to do.

The two of us were complete opposites. he was a bitter, angry, gorgeous-as-all-hell, destroyer of relationships. And my job was to help people save their marriages.
The only thing the two of us had in common was the space we were sharing.
And an attraction that was getting harder to deny by the day…”

 

To Have It All by BN Toler — New Release!!

Standalone: “After an accident left [Liam] injured and unable to work, it wasn’t long before he ended up on the street with his dreams in the gutter. This was it. This was his life… Until the day he met Max Porter—a man who appeared to have it all. They didn’t meet so much as made eye contact as Max sneered at Liam, the bum occupying precious space on the sullied New York City street.

When Max stepped into oncoming traffic, a lesser man might’ve let him. But Liam risked his life to save Max only to be left to die without a second thought.

When Liam woke up days later, he wasn’t himself…at least he wasn’t in his body… He was in Max’s.

And with Liam’s body on life support, there was only one logical conclusion: Max was trapped in Liam’s comatose body.

Somehow the twisted hands of fate had given Liam a second chance; a chance to have it all. But with all the perks of Max’s life also came his problems. Finding balance in his new identity was challenged more so once Liam fell for Max’s beautiful ex… Could Liam live out his life as another man or would he pull the plug and let fate decide?

Would he lose his chance at true love?
Would he lose the chance to have it all?”
 

Real Good Love by Meghan March — New Release!!

Real Duet: “I’ve had my fair share of bad boys, but nothing prepared me for what it was like to be with a real good man. He changed everything. Somewhere along the way, what started as a fling became the best part of my life.

He makes me want all the things I’ve never had, like forever and happily ever after, but nothing worth having comes easily. Everyone is betting on us to fail, but I’m ready to fight for this real good love…”

 

It’s You, Book Two by Katy Regnery — New Release!!

It’s You Duet: HAPPILY EVER AFTER… To some, they’re just words signifying a fairytale ending. For me, they represent an unyielding desire: Forever with the unexpected love of my life. A love that has placed her human life in danger.

But surprisingly, he offers me a helping hand. Before I know it, our relationship turns unprofessional in the hottest ways. Of course, he still drives me crazy.

4. Don’t believe client when he says he really, really wanted to call.
5. Remember, the client is always right—so you can’t junk punch him when he demands new design after new design.

7. Definitely ignore client’s large hands. They just mean he wears big gloves.
8. Don’t let client’s charm wear you down. Be strong.

But once in this foreign country, she is entwined in her host family’s complicated lives—as they lock the doors, and whisper anxiously about impending revolution. And suddenly, instead of the ancient love story she sought, it is her daily witness of a contemporary Romeo and Juliet-like romance—between a housemaid and policeman of different cultural and political backgrounds—that astonishes her, changes her, and makes her weep… Ultimately, in a striking twist, her own story begins to mirror that of [the manuscript] that drew her there in the first place—not in the role of one of the lovers, as she might once have imagined, but as the character who lives to tell the story long after the lovers have gone…”
