WHAT I JUST FINISHED READING: The Hookup by Kristen Ashley (Read my Review)
HOLY FREAKING SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I just read an early copy of this amazing, beautiful, EPIC ALPHA MALE ROMANCE in one non-stop sitting. IT WAS EVERYTHING AND MORE. My heart is beating so fast and I have happy tears from that GORGEOUS epilogue. The hero was the most ALPHA, PROTECTIVE, POSSESSIVE, LOYAL, KIND, SEXY, SWOONY guys you can imagine. His past had left his heart damaged, but when he fell in love with the heroine, he fell HARD and OMG. THEY WERE PERFECT for each other!! She was STRONG, SASSY, and amazing!!! I read this book in one sitting and LOVED EVERY SINGLE PAGE!!! This was pure VINTAGE KA GOLD!!! I can’t recommend it highly enough. Also please note that this is NOT A LOVE TRIANGLE.

DETAILED LIST: NEW RELEASES

Fault Lines by Rebecca Shea — New Release!!

Standalone: At eleven he was my first crush. At sixteen he became mine. At nineteen he broke my heart and destroyed me. That was ten years ago and the last time I saw him… They say you never get over your first love.. .I beg to differ. I left my shattered heart buried in a town I never expected to return to. I erased every thought of him and buried the memories.

I moved on… now ten years later I have the perfect life, the perfect fiancé, the perfect career. Everything I ever wanted until I’m forced to go back and face my past and the man that destroyed me. He won’t stop until I know the truth no matter how hard I fight it…

Misadventures of the First Daughter by Meredith Wild & Mia Michelle — New Release!!

Can standalone: He has one job—to protect her, all day, every day. But she’s been on a partying spree, heading down a dangerous path that threatens to ruin her reputation and cause a major scandal for her father. He will lose his job if he can’t get her under control. Except he wants to sleep with her as badly as he wants to set her straight. She needs discipline. And he might be just the one to give it to her.

… He makes her an offer that’s anything but honorable. He’ll give her all the thrills she’s seeking in exchange for one thing… Her obedience. Fascinated by his dark promises, she agrees. Submission has never felt so good. But as he brings her deeper into his forbidden desires, enemies surface and danger lurks…

The Hunt by Monica James — New Release!!

Can standalone: “I have a confession to make… I’ve met a girl who consumes me. I know that makes me sound completely whipped, but she has the power to bring me to my knees… it’s just too bad she hates my guts. But that’s okay, because I hate hers, too. The fiery redhead stirs something in me that I can’t explain.

This temporary insanity could be due to the fact my best friend, who used to be a bigger player than me, is getting married. That must be it. The only solution is to get back in the game and forget she exists. That theory is great—too bad I don’t want anyone else. I…just…want…her.”

Ride Wild by Laura Kaye — New Release!!

Can standalone: “Wild with grief over the death of his wife, he merely lives for his two sons. Nothing holds his interest anymore—not even riding his bike or his membership in the Motorcycle Club. But that all changes when he hires a new babysitter.

Recently freed from a bad situation by the [Club], she’s determined to bury the past. When he offers her a nanny position, she accepts, needing the security and time to figure out what she wants from life. She adores his sweet boys, but never expected the attraction to their brooding, sexy father.”

Miss Fix-It by Emma Hart — New Release!!

Standalone: I learned the hard way that being a handywoman isn’t easy. I’ve proven over and over that I’m ready for anything the judgmental asses throw at me.

Except the hot, single dad of twins who just moved to town.

He gets the shock of his life when I show up on his doorstep to fix up his kids’ new rooms. His son is confused why ‘the pretty lady has a drill,’ and his daughter has a new obsession—me.

On paper, my job is easy.
Go in, do their bedrooms, and leave.

In theory, I’m spending eight hours a day with a guarded, sexy as hell guy, and I’m staying for dinner more often than I’m eating it alone, on my couch, with Friends re-runs.

I shouldn’t be staying for dinner. I shouldn’t be helping him out with the twins. I shouldn’t be falling in love with tiny toes and dimpled cheeks.

And I most definitely should not be kissing my client. Oops…

American King by Sierra Simone — New Release!!

Series finale: They say that every tragic hero has a fatal flaw, a secret sin, a tiny stitch sewn into his future since birth. And here I am. My sins are no longer secret. My flaws have never been more fatal. And I’ve never been closer to tragedy than I am now.

I am a man who loves, a man whose love demands much in return. I am a king, a king who was foolish enough to build a kingdom on the bones of the past. I am a husband and a lover and a soldier and a father and a president. And I will survive this. Long live the king.

Ripples by Aleatha Romig — New Release!!

Can standalone: “You might not know me. I’m the baby of the family, the princess, the daughter who came along later. My mother and father have provided me with every luxury as well as their unyielding love and support, but I’m not spoiled. I’m also not content. By example, my parents have shown me how love should be. I don’t believe that I’ll ever find that kind of love, the kind that forgives and accepts all. And as my life falls to pieces and I travel to visit my family [I’m] looking for an escape from the pressure to achieve and not let others down. I dream of the time I can live for my own desires without the expectations that come with my name.
I don’t find what I’m seeking… it finds me.
Or should I say… he finds me.”

You One True Love by Layla Hagen — New Release!!

Can standalone: “He has no regrets, except one: letting go of the woman he loved years ago. He wouldn’t admit it out loud, but he’s been pining for her ever since… But his meddling family can read him like an open book. So when his sisters kick up their matchmaking shenanigans, he decides to play right along. And he doesn’t intend to miss an opportunity to be near her.

She knows better than to fall for jo, again. But his seductive charm melts her determination to keep her heart in check. Even with their lives going in separate directions, neither can ignore the magnetic pull between them. But will they find the second chance they’ve both wanted all along?”

Lovers Like Us by Krista Ritchie & Becca Ritchie — New Release!!

Series: He lives by his actions, and his actions say he’s the best at whatever he does. As a 24/7 bodyguard and the new boyfriend to Maximoff Hale, protecting the headstrong, alpha billionaire has never been more complicated. And one rule can’t be bent:

Keep your relationship secret from the public.

He is confident he’s the best man for the job. But a twist in Maximoff’s fast-paced life sticks them with the rest of Security Force Omega and their clients.

On the road.
In a sleeper tour bus.
For four rocky months.

Sexual frustrations, check.
Road trip drama, check.
Awkward bonding, check.

But he couldn’t have accounted for a high-risk threat (identity: unknown) that targets Maximoff before the ignition even turns. And it hits him — someone has it out for the guy he loves…

Blocked by LP Dover — New Release!!

Standalone: He’s got every reason to be cocky… until a female cuts him down to size.
I’m Dallas Easton, the best goaltender in the league. I make a damn good living playing hockey, and with women falling at my feet wherever I go, why not enjoy it? I get whatever I want, whenever I want—that is, until I come across the one player who gets the best of me on the ice.
When I try to pummel the dude, all hell breaks loose. Imagine my surprise when the helmet comes off to reveal a woman underneath. And not just any woman, but the sexiest woman I’ve ever seen. Callie Davis is the complete opposite of the puck bunnies I usually go for, a good girl with sick moves and a selfless streak a mile wide. I need to make amends, but she dodges me at every turn. It doesn’t help that Callie’s brother hates my guts, or that my agent thinks she’s bad for my career. But I could care less what they think. I can’t let our little run-in on the ice be the end of our story. Because when I set my sights on something, I won’t rest until I score.

Follow by Tessa Bailey — New Release!!

He is the bad boy of New York’s financial scene…and he just found out the very thing that drives his success is a damn lie. Now, he’s exchanged his high-stress life for the open road, no one but his Great Dane… and half a million Instagram followers to keep him company. When a mysterious beauty arrives, her secrecy prods his suspicions, even while she tempts his lust to the breaking point. She met him under false pretenses, but the bond consuming them is real…”

I deserve to be punished. I crave things I have no business craving. And it is manifesting itself in a way I’m terrified I won’t be able to control any longer. Especially since she arrived…

Vampire. Orphan. Beaten beyond recognition. My blood calls to her in a way that makes no sense. I’m a wolf. She’s a vampire. The two don’t mate. They barely tolerate one another. All it takes is one slip of control on my part — one taste…

What no one saw was that my crazy far surpassed hers. I just held mine close to my heart. I held it in shadow while she wore hers in the sun, but I knew it was there, right beneath the surface.

Thirty Day Boyfriend by Whitney G. — New Release!!

Standalone: “I should’ve never agreed to this arrangement… Thirty days ago, my boss came to me with an offer I couldn’t refuse: Sign my name on the dotted line and pretend to be his fiancée for one month. If I agreed, he would let me out of my employment contract with a “very generous” severance package.

The rules were pretty simple: No intimate kissing, no actual sex. Just pretend to love each other for the press, even though I’ve secretly wanted to knock that sexy smirk off his face since the first day we met.

I definitely didn’t need to think twice about this. I signed my name and started counting down the seconds to when I would never have to deal with his special brand of ass-holery again.

I only made it to one minute…

We argued the entire four-hour flight to his hometown, failed to make a convincing impression with the welcoming press, and right when I was about to knock that arrogant look off his face in real life? He purposely dropped his bath towel in front of me, distracting me with his nine-inch cock to “show me who the bigger person was” in our relationship. Then he gave me his trademark smirk once again and asked if I wanted to consummate our marriage.

Tragically, this is only day one.
We still have 29 more days to go…”
